from the Atlantic. Thank you very much. That's it from us.

:00:00.:00:00.

Hello and welcome to South Today from Oxford. In tonight's programme:

:00:00.:00:09.

The Prime Minister sees the effects of the floods first`hand.

:00:10.:00:11.

David Cameron's been meeting people who have had to move out of their

:00:12.:00:18.

homes in his constituency. 20 people have moved out of the spark because

:00:19.:00:21.

of water levels. Meanwhile, residents elsewhere are longer able

:00:22.:00:24.

to wash at their homes. The flooding means they now have to use portable

:00:25.:00:27.

public toilets. Also in the programme tonight:

:00:28.:00:29.

Jailed for five years. The town councillor who stole more

:00:30.:00:32.

than ?150,000 from an elderly friend and then gambled it away.

:00:33.:00:37.

And later on: Journey's end ` the last cruise ship built in Britain

:00:38.:00:40.

returns to Southampton after her final ever voyage.

:00:41.:00:52.

Good evening. The Prime Minister David Cameron has been visiting

:00:53.:01:02.

flooded parts of Oxfordshire today. He says that Government is doing

:01:03.:01:04.

everything it can to help people affected. Flood waters reached their

:01:05.:01:07.

peak in the county today before finally starting to recede, but

:01:08.:01:10.

families have continued to suffer another day of misery and

:01:11.:01:12.

disruption. Commuters have also endured road closures and delayed

:01:13.:01:15.

train journeys. In a moment, we'll be meeting some of the families

:01:16.:01:19.

affected. But first, Tom Turrell has been looking at the impact on

:01:20.:01:21.

businesses. For people living at Bablockhythe

:01:22.:01:24.

Caravan Park, near Witney, the rising water level has left them

:01:25.:01:29.

isolated from the outside world. But they weren't alone today. One of

:01:30.:01:36.

their neighbours paid a visit. Hello, nice to see you. But despite

:01:37.:01:42.

the scale of the flooding, the Prime Minister is pleased with the rescue

:01:43.:01:50.

effort. West oxygen District Council's a small District Council

:01:51.:01:52.

but they did a great job getting sandbags out, helping people,

:01:53.:01:56.

coordinating the response. They are doing a good job, but there is

:01:57.:02:00.

always more to do and lessons to be learned. But in Oxford itself,

:02:01.:02:03.

business owners like Mr Afzal aren't so happy. Running out of stock, he

:02:04.:02:17.

says more needs to be done. We are losing about 2003 in sales. `` ?2000

:02:18.:02:26.

a day in sales. This furniture warehouse in Witney is a family

:02:27.:02:29.

business. They were flooded only a year ago. Stock levels here aren't

:02:30.:02:32.

the problem, their insurance could be, though. Because of the flooding

:02:33.:02:36.

claim before, and excess is now ?20,000. They were the only company

:02:37.:02:41.

who would offers insurance at all. We had to take it.

:02:42.:02:43.

The Environment Agency is warning the water level remains high,

:02:44.:02:47.

meaning it may still be too soon for businesses to start counting the

:02:48.:02:51.

costs. The floods have caused disruption to

:02:52.:02:54.

families across Oxfordshire. Some have been evacuated, whilst others

:02:55.:02:57.

have been living without running water or electricity. Adina Campbell

:02:58.:03:02.

has spent the day on one of Oxford's worst`affected roads.

:03:03.:03:06.

A simple domestic task, complicated by the ongoing flooding problems.

:03:07.:03:12.

Rajiv is living in this house near the Abingdon Road with ten other

:03:13.:03:16.

family members. He says he's not confident using his main water

:03:17.:03:19.

supply so is choosing bottled instead. But sanitation is also a

:03:20.:03:25.

major issue which means using portable toilets around the corner.

:03:26.:03:34.

We cannot use the toilet. We cannot wash dishes. We cannot watch the

:03:35.:03:43.

kids' clothes either. `` wash. But his story is a similar one for

:03:44.:03:49.

hundreds of others in this area. We have sandbags in place. The water

:03:50.:03:54.

did come up to the sort of level. It has been quite hectic. My daughter

:03:55.:03:58.

has not been able to get to school. My son goes to college. It took me

:03:59.:04:06.

about one hour to get into college. And for others who have chosen to

:04:07.:04:10.

evacuate their homes, a hotel is their only option. The fire brigade

:04:11.:04:18.

had to come and we had to get into a dinghy which took us across the car

:04:19.:04:25.

park. For five days, Oxford's Abingdon Road, which leads that way

:04:26.:04:28.

to the city centre, has been closed off, even though people in this area

:04:29.:04:34.

say they what has receded, until this disappears, it will be a hard

:04:35.:04:39.

job getting back to normal. Well, joining us in the studio now

:04:40.:04:42.

is Heather Shepherd from the National Flood Forum.

:04:43.:04:48.

David Cameron says spending on flood defences has increased under the

:04:49.:04:51.

Coalition Government. What else do you think needs to be done to

:04:52.:04:54.

prevent a repeat of the scenes we have seen? We need better management

:04:55.:04:59.

of flood water generally and look at catch with areas to see how this can

:05:00.:05:04.

be done. Also, although we have investment, we need ongoing

:05:05.:05:08.

investment. We see flooding increasing all the time and we need

:05:09.:05:12.

to make sure investment continues. Some of the bigger projects are a

:05:13.:05:17.

long way off, aren't they? Yes. There is quite a long way to go in

:05:18.:05:23.

regards to protecting people. I think we need to make sure that is

:05:24.:05:27.

kept a focus. You see lots of houses that had been flooded and properties

:05:28.:05:31.

are built on flood plains. How bigger problem is that? This area is

:05:32.:05:40.

no different from nationally across the country. The biggest issue is

:05:41.:05:44.

built. In urban areas, we have ageing infrastructure. It is a huge

:05:45.:05:50.

concern for the majority of flood risk communities across the country.

:05:51.:05:54.

We need to see that floodwater management act is quickly resolved

:05:55.:06:01.

or developers need to take part in managing surface water. For years

:06:02.:06:08.

this has been in consultation, and people are still suffering. This is

:06:09.:06:11.

legislation that could control how houses are built? Exactly. It is at

:06:12.:06:18.

loggerheads at the moment and we need to move that on quickly to stop

:06:19.:06:21.

people suffering. But we need to take care of flood plains and look

:06:22.:06:26.

at those as good assets to manage water and stop building on them and

:06:27.:06:30.

let's look at how we can again manage water bed in `` what better

:06:31.:06:36.

throughout the catchment and leave the flood plains to do the job they

:06:37.:06:39.

were meant to be for. Well, we've been asking you to send

:06:40.:06:43.

in your pictures, and here are some of the many that have been e`mailed

:06:44.:06:46.

in. Peter Haslehurst sent us this picture of Binsey under water.

:06:47.:06:49.

This is a very atmospheric photo taken by Melisa Osman in Hinksey

:06:50.:06:51.

Park. And these rowing boats in Abingdon

:06:52.:06:55.

are quite at home with their new situation. This one taken by Marcus

:06:56.:06:59.

Nurton. And finally, it hasn't been misery

:07:00.:07:02.

for everyone ` Shadow the dog enjoying the water in Stadhampton in

:07:03.:07:06.

this picture. Thank you if you took the time to

:07:07.:07:08.

send in a picture. And the Sunday Politics this week

:07:09.:07:12.

will be looking at the floods and asking whether the Government's

:07:13.:07:14.

compensation scheme for local councils is adequate or whether

:07:15.:07:17.

council tax payers will end up picking up the tab for the clear up.

:07:18.:07:20.

A former Conservative councillor from South Oxfordshire, who stole

:07:21.:07:23.

more than ?150,000 from an elderly friend with Alzheimer's, has been

:07:24.:07:26.

sentenced to five years in prison. John Morgan, who served on the Vale

:07:27.:07:30.

of White Horse District Council and as a town councillor in Wantage, was

:07:31.:07:33.

found guilty of gambling the money away on slot machines in service

:07:34.:07:36.

stations and Las Vegas. Jessica Cooper was in court.

:07:37.:07:39.

He stole all of Beryl Gitten's money, leaving nothing for the

:07:40.:07:42.

92`year`old's care bills, in her will, or for a funeral. Throughout

:07:43.:07:52.

this case, John Morgan has not shown any remorse, insisting he was doing

:07:53.:07:56.

what Beryl asked. But the judge said today he had total control over

:07:57.:08:00.

Beryl's finances and in her view, there was no higher degree of trust

:08:01.:08:06.

and power of attorney. And no gross breach of trust. `` and no gross

:08:07.:08:13.

breach of trust. Morgan's been labelled a gambling addict after

:08:14.:08:16.

spending the money on slot machines at service stations and in Las

:08:17.:08:20.

Vegas. In 2006, he withdrew just under ?5,000 in cash and transferred

:08:21.:08:24.

over ?20,000 to his accounts. About ?11,000 was withdrawn in cash in

:08:25.:08:27.

2007 and more than ?25,000 was transferred. Almost two years after

:08:28.:08:34.

realising something was wrong, Beryl's family welcomed the

:08:35.:08:42.

sentence. I never trusted him from the word go, ever. I did my best

:08:43.:08:48.

when I suspected things. I am pleased to dissolve. I think he has

:08:49.:08:51.

got what he deserves and I have done my best for my husband and my

:08:52.:08:57.

sister`in`law. Passing the five`year prison sentence, the judge said she

:08:58.:09:00.

had taken into account the fact that John Morgan is 75 years old. His

:09:01.:09:06.

years as a counsellor and charity work were also taken into

:09:07.:09:11.

consideration. She said it was in stark and `` stark contrast in the

:09:12.:09:16.

devious way that you dealt with Beryl Gitten's feels. `` Beryl

:09:17.:09:24.

Kitten's feels. The idea of closing the A338 near

:09:25.:09:27.

Grove for six months is entirely unacceptable. That's according to

:09:28.:09:31.

local MP Ed Vaizey. He has met with the leader of Oxfordshire County

:09:32.:09:33.

Council today to discuss the situation. He has spoken out since

:09:34.:09:36.

Network Rail applied for permission to close the main road to carry out

:09:37.:09:40.

bridge rebuilding work. Currently, a road diversion is proposed but Ed

:09:41.:09:44.

Vaizey says it is not good enough. Now, if I told you to "stop

:09:45.:09:46.

ganderflanking around", would you know what that meant? The word

:09:47.:09:49.

"ganderflanking" is from old English and originates from Wiltshire, but

:09:50.:09:52.

it's rarely used these days. However a new campaign launched by BBC

:09:53.:09:55.

Wiltshire could see it being included in the Oxford English

:09:56.:09:58.

Dictionary, as Lizzie Way reports. It is a red letter day for us on

:09:59.:10:01.

this show. Ganderflanking is in The Times today. The BBC Wiltshire

:10:02.:10:07.

campaign to encourage use of the old Wiltshire word has gone national. It

:10:08.:10:13.

comes from two old wants, Gander, to ramble, and flank, which is an old

:10:14.:10:19.

Wiltshire word. In effect, it is probably skiving. It is a word that

:10:20.:10:23.

is beginning to capture imaginations. We would love to see

:10:24.:10:27.

it used maybe an International Space Station.

:10:28.:10:33.

We would like to get Major Tim take to see it. Maybe in the House of

:10:34.:10:38.

Commons. I secured guidance in proceedings of the old Wiltshire

:10:39.:10:46.

word, ganderflanking. So now it has made the Commons, but what about the

:10:47.:10:53.

dictionary? It is going to need more unselfconscious usage, I would say.

:10:54.:10:59.

I once `` instead of people telling people about the world, saying it

:11:00.:11:01.

ganderflanking need less, it needs people to use it. Other people will

:11:02.:11:09.

treat using it in everyday speech? It is like looking at something,

:11:10.:11:14.

isn't it? I know what it is. It is something to do with geese, isn't

:11:15.:11:20.

it? In 2011, he set out to run ten

:11:21.:11:23.

million metres ` around 6,200 miles ` in a series of gruelling races.

:11:24.:11:28.

Alex Flynn, from Goring, has had broken bones and torn ligaments. And

:11:29.:11:31.

he is living with Parkinson's disease. Alex is now documenting his

:11:32.:11:35.

incredible journey in a book, due to come out in the spring. He came in

:11:36.:11:39.

earlier and I asked him how close he is to completing his ten million

:11:40.:11:44.

metre challenge. I am 250 miles away. I will be doing

:11:45.:11:51.

a 350 kilometre bike ride next week followed by the finishing off of the

:11:52.:11:57.

Dubai Marathon in January. So you will finish a mission in Dubai. You

:11:58.:12:01.

have been doing this for four years and it has been a big part of your

:12:02.:12:06.

life. It has been huge and I do not want it to end but I know the

:12:07.:12:11.

fundraising will go on. I have something bigger plan for the

:12:12.:12:17.

summer. More on that later. He went across the United States as part of

:12:18.:12:20.

your 10 million to mission, coast`to`coast. That must have been

:12:21.:12:28.

a highlight of challenges? It was epic, across 35 days, four

:12:29.:12:32.

disciplines, and became the first person to do that. It was life

:12:33.:12:39.

changing for me. It showed it does not matter which of God, you can

:12:40.:12:43.

always keep challenging yourself and that is a positive message. How does

:12:44.:12:47.

Parkinson 's effect running and cycling? Cycling, if I am really

:12:48.:12:54.

cold, it makes the handlebars difficult. Running wise, sometimes

:12:55.:13:01.

my leg will do its own thing. I could give Michael Flatley and run

:13:02.:13:06.

for his money in Lord Of The Dance. But normal and my leg resets itself

:13:07.:13:12.

and I am away again. You mentioned the challenger have later this year,

:13:13.:13:17.

tell us about that. Myself and a good friend of mine, Darren Taylor,

:13:18.:13:21.

a firefighter from Oxfordshire, we plan to grow the Pacific starting in

:13:22.:13:32.

June 2014. We are the only British per rowing in the race and we

:13:33.:13:36.

definitely need sponsorship. You can do that through my website on

:13:37.:13:46.

screen. He always inspirational Alex Flynn.

:13:47.:13:49.

That's all from me for the moment. I'll have the headlines at eight and

:13:50.:13:53.

a full bulletin at 10.25. Now more of today's stories with Sally

:13:54.:13:55.

Taylor. planned for the grant reduction and

:13:56.:14:02.

has been making savings. It's also recently secured millions of pounds

:14:03.:14:07.

of funding from other sources. Still to come: Battling with the

:14:08.:14:11.

fixtures ` the local football clubs hit by the bad weather.

:14:12.:14:20.

Let's stay with that bad weather. We have more on the flooding. It

:14:21.:14:26.

continues to affect the South of England and a river in Berks reached

:14:27.:14:30.

its highest ever level last night. The River Thames could rise further

:14:31.:14:34.

overnight in places, though it's not expected to exceed the levels of

:14:35.:14:38.

2003. People whose homes are flooded are still living with neighbours and

:14:39.:14:41.

friends, while others are moving upstairs.

:14:42.:14:47.

Overnight, it has covered the step and it is approaching the next step.

:14:48.:14:53.

A couple of inches. Most people living near the Thames here in

:14:54.:14:57.

Purley are stoic about the floods. It has happened before and will

:14:58.:15:01.

happen again. We deal with it. It's a beautiful area and this isn't an

:15:02.:15:05.

everyday occurrence. It's happening more often, yes, but not enough to

:15:06.:15:11.

make us move out. We have moved all the stuff that was on the ground

:15:12.:15:14.

floor to upstairs and I think we've saved all the valuable stuff. We're

:15:15.:15:18.

stuck on the first floor of our house. We normally go out and walk a

:15:19.:15:24.

lot and we swim a lot so I think we need to keep the exercise up. Keep

:15:25.:15:29.

the spirits up, as well! Once you go out, once you have the waders, you

:15:30.:15:35.

might as well make the most of it. Traffic is heavy because this bridge

:15:36.:15:38.

has been closed for days. These residents are supposed to be meeting

:15:39.:15:41.

their local MP but he's on the other side of the floodwater. Here, the

:15:42.:15:46.

flashing signs have been out of action since the electric sweat

:15:47.:15:49.

underwater. There are plenty of other warning signs which drivers

:15:50.:15:56.

are ignoring. I've never seen it as high as this and we are very worried

:15:57.:16:01.

about the vehicle of `` behaviour of some of our drivers. This is what

:16:02.:16:04.

happens when you ignore a series of signs telling you it's closed. The

:16:05.:16:13.

road to the pub is not impossible. 2007 was the highest. This year, we

:16:14.:16:20.

admit by three inches. But the fire service are using the floodwater to

:16:21.:16:24.

AMP down this fire which has been burning for two days. This river is

:16:25.:16:31.

covering the field after field. It has dropped a couple of centimetres

:16:32.:16:34.

since last night but it reached its highest ever level then, a whopping

:16:35.:16:39.

three metres deep. The flood warning here, as in places in Berks, is

:16:40.:16:49.

still in force. Sarah will be here with the detailed

:16:50.:16:54.

forecast later. Southampton said farewell to a grand

:16:55.:17:05.

old lady today. The Saga Ruby was the last cruise ship to be built in

:17:06.:17:08.

Britain, more than 40 years ago. Paul Clifton reports.

:17:09.:17:15.

In recent years, Saga Ruby has specialised in older passengers. The

:17:16.:17:22.

last ones went to show this morning. Over 100 nights, we think. Why have

:17:23.:17:29.

you spent time here? It's a fantastic ship. Probably the last of

:17:30.:17:36.

the real cruising ships, as opposed to cruising ferries that have been

:17:37.:17:41.

converted. In her heyday, she had a different name. This ship offers a

:17:42.:17:50.

classic experience. She was one of the world's top cruise ships. She is

:17:51.:17:55.

well renowned for her well known on beyond. This shows how the operating

:17:56.:18:02.

company targeted wealthy American passengers in search of European

:18:03.:18:09.

style. She was the last passenger ship looked on the River Tyne,

:18:10.:18:13.

launched at the Swan Hunter shipyard in 1972. The ship outlived her

:18:14.:18:20.

birthplace. The last cranes have long since been removed. This woman

:18:21.:18:26.

began her career as a junior officer on board. Today, she is Cunard's

:18:27.:18:35.

only female captain. I remember seeing her and I thought she was a

:18:36.:18:40.

really big ship. But since I been a captain on here, we've met her in

:18:41.:18:44.

various ports, seen her alongside, and she's small compared to this

:18:45.:18:49.

one. Worldwide, only a handful of trips like this are left. She's

:18:50.:18:54.

quite an old lady now, over 40 years old. The equivalent is that she

:18:55.:18:58.

should be expecting a telegram from the Queen, in shipping years! Of the

:18:59.:19:07.

ship's future lies in Burma. She will now head to the far east, to

:19:08.:19:11.

become a static floating hotel. There are similar plans for the

:19:12.:19:15.

bigger, more famous cousin, the QE2. From today, this ship's cruising

:19:16.:19:23.

days are over. On to sport now and the weather has

:19:24.:19:28.

had a major impact on sports clubs during the past month. Tony's here

:19:29.:19:31.

and we've dipped into the world of non`league football tonight, Tony.

:19:32.:19:34.

We have, because the grassroots effectively flooded over the last

:19:35.:19:37.

few weeks. The wet weather has decimated the local sports programme

:19:38.:19:40.

in recent weeks. This was the scene at Abingdon Town football club this

:19:41.:19:43.

week, as floodwaters swamped the surface. They don't plan on playing

:19:44.:19:47.

again there for ten weeks, at a cost to the club of ?10,000. That's

:19:48.:19:50.

perhaps the most extreme case of a club being affected, but I've been

:19:51.:19:53.

to Wessex League leaders Sholing today to find out how they've coped

:19:54.:19:57.

as more than double the average amount of rain fell on their pitches

:19:58.:20:00.

last month coinciding with football's festive period.

:20:01.:20:12.

The football club's nickname is the boatmen and at times in recent

:20:13.:20:15.

weeks, a boat might have helped here. Thankfully, this is the

:20:16.:20:19.

practice ground around the stadium but the pitch itself has had a

:20:20.:20:25.

battering, too. I've been here for 14 years and this is the worst it's

:20:26.:20:30.

ever been. I came up on Saturday and the whole pitch was covered with

:20:31.:20:34.

water. I don't know if its climate change or what but it's not doing

:20:35.:20:38.

our non`league foot will any good. The pitch has held out pretty well

:20:39.:20:42.

during the recent bad weather but they still lost two matches to the

:20:43.:20:46.

rain and that comes at a cost ` things like unsold programmes and

:20:47.:20:50.

the time and effort of organisers and volunteers who put the games on

:20:51.:20:57.

here. The main job for me is lining the pitch and if it is raining, you

:20:58.:21:02.

can't do it. It would just wash away. You've got to wait until the

:21:03.:21:05.

showers go maybe come back another day. Keep an eye on whether all the

:21:06.:21:12.

time. There are more radical for clubs like this, and the future

:21:13.:21:17.

could be in a new form of artificial pitch. The way forward,

:21:18.:21:22.

unfortunately, will be artificial pitches in the future because of

:21:23.:21:25.

climate change carries on, it's going to affect non`league foot all

:21:26.:21:31.

and have a massive impact. It will be frustrating for everybody. For

:21:32.:21:37.

now, clubs like this will just want to see a lot more of this.

:21:38.:21:42.

It actually started raining about ten minutes after we shot those

:21:43.:21:44.

pictures in the sunshine! Sholing take on Bemerton Heath

:21:45.:21:47.

tomorrow, three o'clock kick off. Southampton are also at home

:21:48.:21:50.

tomorrow as they return to Premier League action. Saints host West

:21:51.:21:53.

Brom, who've appointed a new manager ` Spaniard Pep Mel ` in the last 24

:21:54.:21:57.

hours. He'll be watching from the stands. Saints are looking for only

:21:58.:22:00.

their second win in ten games. Reading boss Nigel Adkins has

:22:01.:22:04.

admitted his side has fallen off the pace as they prepare to face Watford

:22:05.:22:07.

tomorrow. The Royals' promotion ambitions are being tempered for now

:22:08.:22:10.

by ongoing takeover talks at the Madejski Stadium, which has cast

:22:11.:22:13.

doubt on whether Adkins can strengthen his side, or see it

:22:14.:22:15.

weakened by player sales. Elsewhere in the championship,

:22:16.:22:18.

Bournemouth go to Wigan. Playoff`chasing Brighton are at home

:22:19.:22:21.

to Birmingham. Both MK Dons and Swindon have home matches in League

:22:22.:22:24.

One. Oxford host Portsmouth in League Two. BBC local radio has

:22:25.:22:30.

commentary of all of those matches, while The Football League Show has

:22:31.:22:33.

every goal straight after Match Of The Day.

:22:34.:22:39.

With a month to go until the Sochi Winter Olympics gets under way, the

:22:40.:22:41.

Southampton snowboarder Billy Morgan is back on the slopes in his first

:22:42.:22:45.

major competition since recovering from a knee injury. Morgan, who's

:22:46.:22:48.

thought to be the first slope style snow boarder to complete this triple

:22:49.:22:52.

rodeo trick, was the top qualifier at the Breckenridge Grand Prix in

:22:53.:23:02.

Colorado. I never tire of watching that!

:23:03.:23:04.

Elsewhere this weekend, London Irish are in European Challenge Cup

:23:05.:23:07.

action. After last week's Premiership win over Worcester, in

:23:08.:23:10.

which James O'Connor scored all 22 points, Irish are home to Portuguese

:23:11.:23:13.

side Lusitanos at Reading's Madejski Stadium.

:23:14.:23:16.

In ice hockey's Premier League, Basingstoke Bison will be hoping for

:23:17.:23:19.

some revenge over Telford Tigers this weekend. The table toppers lost

:23:20.:23:22.

4`0 at Telford on Sunday. Guildford, in third, face Peterborough home and

:23:23.:23:30.

away this weekend. The ice is a safe place to play

:23:31.:23:35.

sport this weekend ` no doubt those matches will go ahead!

:23:36.:23:41.

Last night we were sitting here with pine cones and a bit of old seaweed.

:23:42.:23:44.

We were forecasting quite well with those! But times have changed. Yes

:23:45.:23:53.

and we're celebrating a big birthday ` 60 years of weather forecasts on

:23:54.:24:00.

the BBC. George Cowling first presented the Invision TV forecast

:24:01.:24:06.

on January 11, 1954. In the early days, the charts were hand drawn.

:24:07.:24:11.

Symbols were introduced in 1967, as colour TV arrived. The magnetic

:24:12.:24:16.

symbols would sometimes fall of mid`forecast. Then we got to

:24:17.:24:22.

computerised graphics in 1985. And by 2005, we started using the ones

:24:23.:24:28.

you see in your forecast today. Of the magnetic ones just kept coming

:24:29.:24:29.

off! The weather has been beautiful to

:24:30.:24:35.

start What a glorious start to the day in

:24:36.:24:41.

Emsworth. Nature at its best according to Martin Stewart, who

:24:42.:24:43.

sent in that photo. This scene shows a gorgeous

:24:44.:24:46.

reflection in the flooded meadows around Salisbury Cathedral. Thank

:24:47.:24:49.

you, Tony Oliver, for that one. And another beautiful reflection of

:24:50.:24:51.

today's weather taken in Christchurch, Oxford, by Caroline

:24:52.:24:55.

Davis. We have got some more wet weather to

:24:56.:24:59.

come through this evening. Not great amounts but we are expecting to see

:25:00.:25:04.

more rain and any rain at this stage is unwelcome. Cloudy conditions

:25:05.:25:07.

bring the patchy rain through the course of the night. It's sweeping

:25:08.:25:13.

eastwards and behind it, clear skies developed. We have an ice risk where

:25:14.:25:23.

we see the skies clearing, so very chilly temperatures. At some frost

:25:24.:25:29.

first thing tomorrow. A cloudy start for eastern parts but first thing,

:25:30.:25:33.

some brightness around and tomorrow is a lovely January day. Sparkling

:25:34.:25:38.

sunshine, some blue skies and light winds. Temperatures about where they

:25:39.:25:45.

should be for the time of year. Tomorrow night, we'll start to see

:25:46.:25:49.

Misty, murky conditions developing. Some patchy fog could prove to be

:25:50.:25:54.

rather dense and we see the club again to move in despite initial

:25:55.:26:02.

frost. `` cloud begin to move in. A murky start for Sunday. This is what

:26:03.:26:09.

we've got to expect for Sunday. We start with dry conditions, cloudy

:26:10.:26:13.

and damp, but a band of rain arrives into the evening period so a grey

:26:14.:26:19.

day with some dampness and then a band of rain working its way in.

:26:20.:26:22.

10`50 millimetres through the overnight period, roughly half an

:26:23.:26:30.

inch. Here's your summary for the coming days. A warning for icy

:26:31.:26:34.

conditions first thing on Saturday but some good sunshine. Cloudy,

:26:35.:26:37.

murky conditions for Sunday with rain overnight, and some scattered

:26:38.:26:40.

showers for the new working week. A quick word about some features on

:26:41.:26:50.

South Today next week. Here's Paul Clifton to talk about car

:26:51.:26:53.

manufacturers. Did you know cars used to be built

:26:54.:26:59.

on the Isle of Wight? 40 years ago, battery`powered city car was

:27:00.:27:04.

revolutionary. Well, we found one and we'll need to the man who

:27:05.:27:10.

designed it. Much older is this ` Salisbury's Scout. There are only

:27:11.:27:15.

two left in the world. They made buses, too, but they've all gone.

:27:16.:27:21.

Here's my favourite ` it was built in Eastleigh. This is the most

:27:22.:27:28.

gorgeous car. You can see more of Paul Clifton's

:27:29.:27:34.

love affair next week! Did he ever get out of it, I wonder?

:27:35.:27:39.

That's it for now. Have a great weekend, particularly if you've got

:27:40.:27:45.

the floods around you. Good eye. `` goodbye.
