:00:00. > :00:00.Hello and welcome to South Today from Oxford. In tonight's
:00:07. > :00:09.programme... The rising use of Tasers by police `
:00:10. > :00:14.how officers in the Thames Valley have nearly doubled their use of the
:00:15. > :00:18.stun guns. Also tonight... Living in constant
:00:19. > :00:36.pain ` how a carbon monoxide leak that killed his girlfriend has left
:00:37. > :00:39.Rowland Wessling with nerve damage. Why Phoebe's desire to make people
:00:40. > :00:43.aware of diabetes has earned her a place with the stars at the
:00:44. > :00:46.Children's Emmy Awards in New York. And later on... The moment English
:00:47. > :00:48.historians were waiting for ` we find out if these are the bones of
:00:49. > :00:57.King Alfred. Good evening. BBC South Today has
:00:58. > :01:01.gained exclusive figures that reveal police in the Thames Valley have
:01:02. > :01:04.nearly doubled their use of Taser guns. The devices produce a powerful
:01:05. > :01:11.shock and help police restrain those they deem threatening. They were
:01:12. > :01:14.used almost twice as much last year compared to 2012. Some human rights
:01:15. > :01:17.campaigners say that the more they're used, the greater the chance
:01:18. > :01:20.someone will be injured. But senior police bosses claim only a small
:01:21. > :01:24.number of specially`trained officers have them as a deterrent. Adina
:01:25. > :01:28.Campbell reports. They may look like a normal gun, but
:01:29. > :01:32.the outcome is very different. Tasers like this have been used by
:01:33. > :01:36.Thames Valley Police for just over ten years. When fired, they produce
:01:37. > :01:41.an intense electrical blast of 50,000 volts. Not everyone agrees
:01:42. > :01:44.with them, though, especially since new figures show police in our
:01:45. > :01:52.region are using them increasingly often. The number of times Thames
:01:53. > :01:55.Valley Police have used Tasers has almost doubled. Last year, officers
:01:56. > :02:02.used them 119 times, compared to 61 in 2012. And, in 2007, the number
:02:03. > :02:08.was much lower, with just seven on record. Tasers may be controversial
:02:09. > :02:17.but police say only a small number of officers use them. Not all
:02:18. > :02:20.officers get a case. About 11% of front`line officers are equipped
:02:21. > :02:25.with a Taser and they are selected for the role and chosen because they
:02:26. > :02:28.have displayed good judgement in terms of the use of force. These
:02:29. > :02:32.figures only tell us how many times Tasers were used and brief details
:02:33. > :02:35.of why, for example in domestic or violence`related cases. Human rights
:02:36. > :02:42.campaigners say the way we record this data needs to change. We want
:02:43. > :02:48.to make it crystal clear that these are dangerous weapons and they can
:02:49. > :02:52.only be used in the right way. Only in response to genuinely
:02:53. > :02:57.life`threatening situations was that we want them in the hands of the
:02:58. > :02:58.most specialised officers. In a statement, Thames Valley Police
:02:59. > :03:18.said... If you cannot control so body, what
:03:19. > :03:24.else can you do? Most of the time, they do not do that much damage and
:03:25. > :03:27.people recover quickly. Campaigners say Tasers have been linked to
:03:28. > :03:30.hundreds of deaths in the US and don't want to see that happen here.
:03:31. > :03:37.But Thames Valley Police believe these devices are necessary to
:03:38. > :03:41.protect officers and the public. A man has been arrested and released
:03:42. > :03:45.on bail following the death of a 27`year`old woman in Banbury. She's
:03:46. > :03:49.been named by police as 27`year`old Anne`Marie Gale. She was found by
:03:50. > :03:52.police officers in Dover Avenue and died in hospital. The cause of death
:03:53. > :03:55.hasn't been determined but more toxicology tests are to be carried
:03:56. > :03:58.out by the Home Office pathologist. The 49`year`old man, also from
:03:59. > :04:01.Banbury, was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter.
:04:02. > :04:04.A man from Oxford who survived carbon monoxide poisoning is raising
:04:05. > :04:07.awareness of the dangers of the deadly gas. Rowland Wessling has
:04:08. > :04:11.been left with a debilitating arm injury as a result of bringing a
:04:12. > :04:14.disposable BBQ inside a tent he was sharing with his girlfriend. She
:04:15. > :04:17.died in the incident. He now wants others to be made more aware of the
:04:18. > :04:20.dangers of the deadly gas. This evening, Rowland is recovering from
:04:21. > :04:29.the experimental surgery at the John Radcliffe hospital. Angela Walker
:04:30. > :04:31.went to meet him beforehand. I started off with some
:04:32. > :04:35.paracetamols. Gabapentin, I take 12 every day. Roland has had to take
:04:36. > :04:38.over 25,000 tablets since an accident which left his partner dead
:04:39. > :04:45.left him with nerve damage in his right arm. Roland Wessling and Hazel
:04:46. > :04:50.Woodhams were camping when they left their used barbecue in the porch of
:04:51. > :05:01.their tent. The carbon monoxide fumes overcame them. Hazel died and
:05:02. > :05:05.Roland was left unconscious. I must have tried to get up during the
:05:06. > :05:08.night, being in a tent, in a sleeping bag. But I was so drugged
:05:09. > :05:12.that I would have immediately fallen down onto my right arm and then I
:05:13. > :05:16.didn't roll off that right arm and was lying on it for probably eight
:05:17. > :05:19.hours, which of course cut off the blood supply and damaged the nerves
:05:20. > :05:24.considerably. Roland's arm nearly had to be amputated and he had eight
:05:25. > :05:31.operations on it in four weeks. He was left in constant pain. Today, he
:05:32. > :05:34.underwent pioneering surgery. The nerves from the arms and legs all
:05:35. > :05:38.come together in something called the dorsal root ganglion, which is a
:05:39. > :05:45.little swelling of the nerve just as it comes out of the spinal cord.
:05:46. > :05:48.What we're doing is putting in an electrode so that we can deliver
:05:49. > :05:51.electrical currents to the dorsal root ganglia and stimulate those
:05:52. > :05:57.nerves, which prevents them from allowing pain signals to go up them.
:05:58. > :06:00.Roland Vessling is thought to be the first person in the world to have
:06:01. > :06:06.this treatment on this kind of injury. `` Rowland Wessling. It's
:06:07. > :06:13.hoped the surgery will alleviate his symptoms and in future help others
:06:14. > :06:17.like him with chronic pain. 40 people a year in England and Wales
:06:18. > :06:20.die as a result of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. Thousands more
:06:21. > :06:22.are treated in hospital. Experts say a simple and cheap alarm like this
:06:23. > :06:31.one could prevent many tragedies. Meanwhile, an anonymous narrow boat
:06:32. > :06:35.owner in Oxfordshire has bought dozens of carbon monoxide detectors
:06:36. > :06:39.to be distributed for free to others living on the canals. The detectors
:06:40. > :06:44.were given to the local boatman to give out this week. The donation
:06:45. > :06:48.comes after a 63`year`old man and his dog were found dead in their
:06:49. > :06:50.boat just after New Year's Day. It's believed they suffered carbon
:06:51. > :06:59.monoxide poisoning, but an inquest is yet to take place. I am selecting
:07:00. > :07:04.people who can have them to make sure they do get fitted and so
:07:05. > :07:10.forth. They are not expensive but they are not cheap. It is always
:07:11. > :07:15.going to be... " it doesn't happen to me." This is the time we can give
:07:16. > :07:19.them out and say it doesn't matter because you will be protected.
:07:20. > :07:22.For more than 300 years, Witney was famous for its blankets. Now
:07:23. > :07:25.permission has been granted for the town's Grade`II listed Blanket Hall
:07:26. > :07:29.to be turned into a new museum. Blankets were weighed and measured
:07:30. > :07:32.at the hall until 1847. Now it will showcase the history of blanket
:07:33. > :07:35.making in the town. It'll be the first time members of the public
:07:36. > :07:38.will be allowed into Blanket Hall for almost 40 years.
:07:39. > :07:40.A nine`year`old girl from Swindon will be rubbing shoulders with
:07:41. > :07:44.A`list celebrities at the International Children's Emmy awards
:07:45. > :07:47.in New York next month. Phoebe Maddison, who has Type One diabetes,
:07:48. > :07:51.was part of a BBC documentary about children living with different
:07:52. > :07:55.conditions. It's been nominated for an award in the factual category.
:07:56. > :07:58.She says she wants more people to understand what living with diabetes
:07:59. > :08:06.is like. Charlotte Stacey went to meet her.
:08:07. > :08:11.It is a long way from the glamour of the red carpet. Four times a day, VB
:08:12. > :08:18.has to test her blood sugar and regulate her insulin. She has been
:08:19. > :08:21.doing it since she was four. She took part in a BBC documentary
:08:22. > :08:29.showing how children live with a variety of conditions, which is now
:08:30. > :08:39.up for an Emmy award. She wanted to show what it was like. It is to make
:08:40. > :08:42.me feel lonely but now everyone cares... They all ages to care for
:08:43. > :08:48.me but I am respected as a person who is normal. You are normal with
:08:49. > :08:53.diabetes, it is just something that is a little bit wrong. When she is
:08:54. > :08:58.not at school, Phoebe Maddison raises a lot of awareness for
:08:59. > :09:07.diabetes charities. She hopes that one day a cure will be found. Phoebe
:09:08. > :09:11.has been involved in charity singles and she sings at functions, she
:09:12. > :09:15.sings at Christmas markets, all to raise money for diabetes. She has
:09:16. > :09:20.raised on her own around ?2000, as well as singing and making
:09:21. > :09:26.programmes and things like that. She is doing extremely well. I am very
:09:27. > :09:29.proud of her, she is such a star! How is she feeling about meeting
:09:30. > :09:35.lots of celebrities? I have been to the BAFTAs before. Unfortunately, we
:09:36. > :09:43.did not win. Hopefully we will win and it will be very exciting. Next
:09:44. > :09:47.month, she will get to go to New York for the award ceremony but now
:09:48. > :09:49.she is concentrating on her schoolwork rather than awards.
:09:50. > :09:53.That's all from me for the moment. I'll have the headlines at 8pm and a
:09:54. > :09:55.full bulletin at 10:25pm. Now more of today's stories with Sally

:10:02. > :10:04.November 2013. This time last year Thames Valley Police announced they
:10:05. > :10:12.were doubling the number of specially trained officers who could

:10:16. > :10:19.goes aboard a new ship with a long history. I'm on board a brand`new
:10:20. > :10:29.ship which is enabling us to find out more about climate change. The
:10:30. > :10:33.RSPCA and police are investigating after a substantial amount of poison
:10:34. > :10:38.was poured into 20 badger setts on the Isle of Wight. The discovery was
:10:39. > :10:42.made yesterday morning. Badgers were subject to a cull in some parts of
:10:43. > :10:49.the country last year ` but the animals are protected by law.
:10:50. > :10:51.The funeral of a 16`year`old schoolboy from Winchester who was
:10:52. > :10:55.killed ski`ing in Austria has taken place. Cameron Bespolka died when he
:10:56. > :10:58.was caught in an avalanche while ski`ing off piste with his father
:10:59. > :11:01.and brother at the Austrian resort of Lech. Cameron was a pupil at
:11:02. > :11:12.Winchester College. The headmaster described him as a gentle, kind and
:11:13. > :11:15.talented pupil who was very popular. Expert Sophie may have found one of
:11:16. > :11:18.the bones belonging to kill the `` King Alfred the great in Winchester.
:11:19. > :11:21.Experts were originally testing remains exhumed last year from an
:11:22. > :11:25.unmarked grave at St Bartholomew's Church, where it was thought he was
:11:26. > :11:37.buried. David Allard has been following developments and joins us
:11:38. > :11:39.now from Winchester. Tonight the focus has switched, the site of the
:11:40. > :11:45.former Abbey in Winchester, where King Alfred and his family were
:11:46. > :11:49.buried in a live and ten A.D.. Thus did the focus was on a graveyard
:11:50. > :11:55.over the road, this is a historical saga with plenty of twists and
:11:56. > :11:59.turns. A warrior who repelled the Viking hordes, a scholar who laid
:12:00. > :12:03.the foundation for modern England. King Alfred was a truly great
:12:04. > :12:13.Britain. That is why finding him has also become an obsession for many.
:12:14. > :12:17.Most of people think of him, we would like to see a heritage centre,
:12:18. > :12:25.that sort of thing. This is the sort of catalyst. We know the remains of
:12:26. > :12:29.Alfred and his family were buried at Hyde Abbey. A prison was built on
:12:30. > :12:33.the site, that is when it is believed his remains were moved
:12:34. > :12:38.here, an unmarked grave in Saint Bartholomew 's graveyard. Last year
:12:39. > :12:45.tests were carried out on the bones inside. There were six individuals
:12:46. > :12:48.in the grave, five skulls, but the radiocarbon dates demonstrate that
:12:49. > :12:54.they were much too late to possibly be royal house of Wessex. So the
:12:55. > :12:58.Kings whereabouts remained a mystery but there was another twist to come.
:12:59. > :13:04.In the 1990s, Hyde Abbey was excavated, two boxes of bones were
:13:05. > :13:08.unearthed and kept in Woodchester newsy. They had not been tested
:13:09. > :13:15.until now, but one bone predicted a breakthrough for Katie and her team.
:13:16. > :13:23.We have got the right side of the pelvis, and adult male, from 26 to
:13:24. > :13:30.45 years of age. The date that we had, the radiocarbon date we have,
:13:31. > :13:42.is between 897 to 1019. So it's exactly the right eight. `` dates.
:13:43. > :13:46.Terrific news, eventually, to find out the pelvis could be Alfred or
:13:47. > :13:53.Edward. Today really has been, nation of the big adventure. Of
:13:54. > :13:58.course, this is sick of social evidence. `` circumstantial
:13:59. > :14:03.evidence. They haven't proved beyond reasonable doubt, that requires DNA
:14:04. > :14:07.testing at the moment there are no other bones to compare the pelvis
:14:08. > :14:13.with. That's why in the future we may see more excavations here. But
:14:14. > :14:16.stuck to the rector of Saint Bartholomew 's Church, where the
:14:17. > :14:24.unmarked grave was excused last year. How disappointed are you that
:14:25. > :14:27.they were not the bones of Alfred? Not too disappointed, it was a long
:14:28. > :14:32.shot, it's all been overshadowed by the fact that it's the mist a result
:14:33. > :14:37.of the unmarked grave. It didn't contain the bones of the Royal
:14:38. > :14:42.Wessex family. What does happen to the six people who were exhumed? The
:14:43. > :14:52.bones are still in the care of the church, where they are held, where
:14:53. > :14:56.the work was done on them. I am waiting for the Chancellor of the
:14:57. > :15:02.dioceses to let us know when they can be reinterred. In the meantime,
:15:03. > :15:07.the focus shifts back to Hyde Abbey. Why is there this fascination with
:15:08. > :15:15.finding the remains of Alfred. He was at the great King, yes that is
:15:16. > :15:18.an impact on our history, I think people in this area, Winchester,
:15:19. > :15:22.which was such a focus for him and his history, it's going to be
:15:23. > :15:34.fascinating and the story of Hyde Abbey will go on and grow. If more
:15:35. > :15:36.things happen archaeologically. He mentioned the programme on Tuesday,
:15:37. > :15:49.the search for King Alfred the great, it is on BBC Two.
:15:50. > :15:53.There have been caused a further government to do more to help local
:15:54. > :15:55.councils play for flood repairs. The local government Association says
:15:56. > :15:59.recent flooding is caused millions of pounds worth damage and in
:16:00. > :16:04.Hampshire alone it is thought the council has stumped up ?40,000 to
:16:05. > :16:08.cope. The reimbursement scheme does exist but only councils that spend
:16:09. > :16:19.more than 0.2% of their budget on flood repairs will be eligible. A
:16:20. > :16:22.new holiday park at Crossways in West Dorset has been given the green
:16:23. > :16:25.light by councillors. Developers Habitat First plan to convert
:16:26. > :16:29.Warmwell Quarry into holiday chalets, a country club and a nature
:16:30. > :16:31.conservation project. The West Dorset District Council Planning
:16:32. > :16:35.Committee gave outline permission for the plans which could create up
:16:36. > :16:43.to 750 jobs. Quarrying at the site will stop in 2017. Time for the
:16:44. > :16:49.sport. It's fair to say it is then a turbulent week for Southampton fans.
:16:50. > :16:52.Of course, the chairman resigned on Wednesday night, there was a lot of
:16:53. > :16:57.questions about the manager, but today we have heard right from the
:16:58. > :16:59.top. The new Chairman and owner of Southampton Football Club has issued
:17:00. > :17:06.a statement to silence rumours that players are up for sale. It's been a
:17:07. > :17:09.turbulent week at Saints following the resignation of the Executive
:17:10. > :17:12.Chairman of four and a half years, Nicola Cortese, on Wednesday night.
:17:13. > :17:17.Players Luke Shaw, Adam Lallana and Rickie Lambert have all been linked
:17:18. > :17:25.with transfers. But, this afternoon Katharina Liebherr said:
:17:26. > :17:30.It backs up comments made by manager Mauricio Pochettino at a press
:17:31. > :17:33.conference yesterday when he said he was committed to Southampton at
:17:34. > :17:37.least until the end of the season ` and no one was for sale there.
:17:38. > :17:44.Tomorrow, Saints have the early kick off at Sunderland. They come off the
:17:45. > :17:47.back of a win last week against West Bromwich Albion. Tomorrow's fixture
:17:48. > :17:50.marks a year to the day since Pochettino was appointed as manager,
:17:51. > :18:02.and despite the turmoil of the last few days he wants to focus on the
:18:03. > :18:05.football. TRANSLATION: The game on Saturday is very important for this
:18:06. > :18:08.club and the supporters. It's only normal that we are speaking about
:18:09. > :18:14.these things because it has been five years that Nicola has been at
:18:15. > :18:20.this club, but I repeat, we need to focus on the game on Saturday. We
:18:21. > :18:25.need to focus from now until Saturday and it is important to get
:18:26. > :18:28.a positive result. Meanwhile, Portsmouth, dangerously close to the
:18:29. > :18:30.League Two relegation zone, have two new players available for their home
:18:31. > :18:33.game tomorrow against Mansfield ` and are hoping they'll start to
:18:34. > :18:41.deliver results. Pompey have completed the signing of Jake Jervis
:18:42. > :18:44.today. The striker agreed a deal last week but was waiting for
:18:45. > :18:48.international clearance to move from a Turkish side. And midfielder Wes
:18:49. > :18:52.Fogden is set to make his Portsmouth debut after signing from Bournemouth
:18:53. > :18:58.on Wednesday. A look at the other fixtures happening this weekend.
:18:59. > :19:02.Reading could make it into the top six if they can win their home game
:19:03. > :19:24.against Bolton and other results go their way.
:19:25. > :19:31.BBC local radio has commentary of all of those matches while the
:19:32. > :19:34.Football League Show has every goal. Berkshire ice skater Penny Coombes
:19:35. > :19:37.and her partner Nick Buckland have won European ice dance bronze in
:19:38. > :19:39.Budapest ahead of next month's Winter Olympics. The couple are
:19:40. > :19:44.considered Britain's best figure`skating prospects for the
:19:45. > :19:46.Games in Sochi. The bronze at the European Figure Skating
:19:47. > :19:50.championships in the Hungarian capital was their first`ever
:19:51. > :19:55.European medal. They were ranked third ahead of performing this free
:19:56. > :19:58.dance to a Michael Jackson medley. It earned them a personal`best score
:19:59. > :20:07.on the night to retain the bronze medal position. We will be following
:20:08. > :20:11.them as they compete in the Winter Olympics. There was disappointment
:20:12. > :20:14.for England's men in the semifinal of the Hockey World League in India
:20:15. > :20:17.earlier. The Bisham Abbey based squad that features several players
:20:18. > :20:21.from Reading were beaten by New Zealand in a thrilling sudden`death
:20:22. > :20:25.shoot out in Delhi. The game ended three ` all in normal time, and
:20:26. > :20:29.level after the first five penalties. Reading's Tom Carson
:20:30. > :20:42.scored in sudden death, but New Zealand eventually triumphed 7`6.
:20:43. > :20:49.That was really heartbreaking for them. They had beaten New Zealand
:20:50. > :20:54.earlier in the competition! I hadn't heard about them before, those iced
:20:55. > :20:59.answers. That has got to give them a lot of confidence going into such
:21:00. > :21:07.it. That's their first European metal. Brilliant! I hope we are able
:21:08. > :21:14.to talk to them in the future. She's a new ship but she has a name with a
:21:15. > :21:16.great history. The RSS Discovery carries a name synonymous with
:21:17. > :21:23.scientific research and adventure and she'll soon be surveying the

:21:50. > :21:52.set sail for the Isle of Wight. Equipped with the latest scientific

:22:01. > :22:07.had managed before. Discovery became trapped and was almost lost. Frozen
:22:08. > :22:12.into the ice for two years until it was freed by explosive charges. The
:22:13. > :22:17.voyage made history and the ship is now at visitors attraction in

:22:34. > :22:39.the first ship in the UK to have satellite navigation. But after 50
:22:40. > :22:44.years and 1.5 million nautical miles, she too made her final voyage
:22:45. > :22:52.in 2012. Now a new ship is taking the bat on stop real research ship
:22:53. > :23:00.cap next discovery the fourth. She has a crew of 24. This is where we
:23:01. > :23:04.drive the ship and we are taking the scientists the place they need to
:23:05. > :23:11.be. We have echo sounders here, electronic charts. The ship is
:23:12. > :23:16.controllable. We have thrusters, so we can stop or move very accurately
:23:17. > :23:22.to ensure that their instruments are put in the right place and kept in
:23:23. > :23:26.the right place. Discovery has already completed sea trials,
:23:27. > :23:29.performing well, and accompanied by dolphins, during the day and at
:23:30. > :23:38.night. Now she is the first scientific trip to survey the river
:23:39. > :23:41.to be shallow waters around the UK. The sort of observations the ship
:23:42. > :23:45.will make will lead to a vast improved understanding of how shelf

:23:51. > :23:54.monoxide we emit into the atmosphere and we urgently want to know where
:23:55. > :24:00.it is, how long it will stay there and how it's getting in there.
:24:01. > :24:03.Geophysics systems, you might have a big insurance in the water and a

:24:42. > :24:44.loads of people on board, this year the scientists go on board and there

:24:52. > :24:53.are on a ship called that, it has to be a bit special! Time for the
:24:54. > :25:06.weather? Guess what the weather is going to
:25:07. > :25:10.be! Rain! Unfortunately. Dieter Valerius took this photo of the
:25:11. > :25:14.sunny spells in between the showers at Gunwarf Quays. Craig Harvey
:25:15. > :25:18.captured a rainbow outside his office in Andover in Hampshire. And
:25:19. > :25:22.Alan Smith took this photo of two Wigeon ducks caught in a very heavy
:25:23. > :25:30.shower at Blashford Lakes Near Ringwood. Today's heavy showers are
:25:31. > :25:34.merging into a long spell of rain, they kept on rolling in although we
:25:35. > :25:38.did see some brief dry periods and some sunny spells, mainly for
:25:39. > :25:42.western areas during the course of the afternoon. Through the course of
:25:43. > :25:47.the night we will see further rain, not amounting to two much but with
:25:48. > :25:52.the rain tonight, that could cause some flooding issues. The rain will
:25:53. > :25:55.push up from the south, some moderate light bursts of rain, some
:25:56. > :26:01.drier periods as well. Temperatures falling to a mild five to eight
:26:02. > :26:07.Celsius, so I frost free night to come. Rain on the cards tomorrow,
:26:08. > :26:13.The Met office have issued up weather warning for western parts of
:26:14. > :26:17.Dorset. We could, with the rain tonight and tomorrow, see around an
:26:18. > :26:22.inch rainfall which could add to the flooding problems in some places.
:26:23. > :26:29.Any drier periods are more likely the further east you are. More cloud
:26:30. > :26:34.than sunshine, highest tomorrow of 10 Celsius. Tomorrow night the rain
:26:35. > :26:37.will continue for the first part of the night of the good news is, it
:26:38. > :26:43.starts to ease Sunday morning and the skies were clear for western
:26:44. > :26:47.areas. We may have some frost patches, temperatures falling down
:26:48. > :26:53.to around three Celsius in our towns and cities, perhaps down to freezing
:26:54. > :26:58.in the countryside. That freezing fog could live `` linger on Sunday
:26:59. > :27:04.morning but Sunday is a much better day, probably the best day of the
:27:05. > :27:07.weekend to get out and about. The risk of one or two showers late in
:27:08. > :27:12.the afternoon, more cloud the further east you are but that should
:27:13. > :27:18.rake up by the afternoon. Your Outlook:
:27:19. > :27:25.rain tomorrow, could be heavy in places, particularly in parts of
:27:26. > :27:30.Dorset. Sunny on Sunday, frost to start the day on Monday.
