shaking your head. That is horrible. That is all from the | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Hello, and welcome to South Today from Oxford. In tonight's programme: | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
A detective who broke the rules in a double murder case is to keep his | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
job. His actions meant the suspect | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
couldn't be charged with killing Becky Godden. Her parents have | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
different reactions. It is a joke. The police are a law | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
unto themselves. Gross misconduct. Anybody else would have been sucked | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
`` sacked. When he gets his medal, I am going | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
to pin it on his chest. Also tonight: Putting his past | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
behind him. Why businesses are being asked to take on more people like | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
Eric who have a criminal record. Later on, how Ten`Ton Tess, the | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
biggest bomb of the Second World War, made its mark on the south. | :00:56. | :01:03. | |
A senior Wiltshire detective, who failed to follow police guidelines | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
after arresting the suspected serial killer Christopher Halliwell, is to | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
keep his job. Detective Superintendent Steve Fulcher | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
persuaded Halliwell to take him to the body of Becky Godden from | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
Swindon, but failed to first read him his rights. That meant he | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
couldn't later be prosecuted for her murder. As Scott Ellis reports, | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
although a disciplinary hearing has found him guilty of gross | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
misconduct, it concluded that he should receive a written warning | :01:29. | :01:29. | |
rather than be sacked. I can't believe it. That is | :01:30. | :01:42. | |
fantastic. The mother of murder victim Becky | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
Godden. Elated Detective Superintendent Steve Fulcher gets to | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
keep his job. He is one superhero and when he gets | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
his medal, I will pin it on his chest. If it hadn't been for him, I | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
wouldn't have known about Becky. Steve Fulcher made mistakes during a | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
murder hunt in Swindon in 2011. He arrested taxi driver Christopher | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
Halliwell, who started to confess. Taking Steve Fulcher first to the | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
body of Sian O'Callaghan. Then to the place he'd buried Becky Godden | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
years earlier. But Halliwell wasn't cautioned, so his confessions didn't | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
stand up in court. He did eventually plead guilty to murdering Sian | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
O'Callaghan, and was sentenced to 25 years. But, without evidence, the | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
case against Becky Godden was dropped. He broke the rules but for | :02:32. | :02:41. | |
a good reason, and I stand by him and I will continue to stand by him. | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
I have always said, he did what he did to bring two goals back to their | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
family. That is not shared by her former | :02:50. | :03:00. | |
husband, Becky's father. This is the biggest stitch up I have come | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
across. He is furious that the merger of his daughter has never | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
been brought to court. He brought the original complaints against | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
Steve Fulcher, and can't believe he's kept his job. To gross | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
misconduct, anybody else would have been sacked. My trust is gone. The | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
Chief Constable says this has been an emotive issue for the force and | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
points out murder investigations are very highly charged, but he admits | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
there is national concern about the integrity of the police, and he | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
expects the highest standards from his officers. He went on to pay | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
respects to both families. The roars of arrest are being looked at and it | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
might be one`day police officers might be able to interview suspects | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
on the road rather than in a police station. Steve Fulche was also | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
guilty of gross misconduct in dealings with the media. He said in | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
a statement today he wanted to do the best the victims, families and | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
the police, and hoped to move on from this upsetting and stressful | :04:12. | :04:12. | |
episode. Would you employ someone if you knew | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
they had a criminal record? There's a call for more businesses to do | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
that, after new figures obtained by the BBC showed nearly half of all | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
offenders in the Thames Valley are unemployed at the end of their | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
probation. The worry is that, without stable work, some may slip | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
back into committing further crimes. But opinion is divided on whether | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
extra help should be offered, at a time when people who haven't broken | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
the law are also struggling to find jobs. Tom Turrell's been to meet a | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
man in Thame who's seized his second chance. | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
Eric is one of the lucky ones, he has a job keeping this elite | :04:50. | :04:58. | |
training facility for sports horses in Thame in tip`top condition. He's | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
on parole, after avoiding a jail term, and says he's getting back on | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
the straight and narrow after the probation service found him work. | :05:07. | :05:15. | |
It keeps me occupied, and it keeps me on the straight and narrow. | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
People with a conviction are up to 50% less likely to reoffend if | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
they're in work. The problem is, not all of them are. Last year, in the | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
Thames Valley police force area, there were 1,664 offenders. Of | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
those, 982 were in work by the end of their probation period. That's | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
59%. According to the Probation Service, part of the reason more | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
criminals don't find work is because many employers aren't willing to | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
risk having them on their books. What we need is more people to come | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
forward and help us with giving opportunities to people to learn new | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
skills in new environments. We need more employers on board to help us. | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
Eric's boss took him on in October last year, and says he wouldn't | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
think twice about doing the same again. | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
I found him to be very motivated, keen to impress and do a very good | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
job. He has been reliable and a very easy employee to have. | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
A job has kept Eric out of the dock. If others are to be as lucky, more | :06:19. | :06:27. | |
employers will have to step forward. A short time ago, I spoke to our | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
home affairs correspondent Emma Vardy, and suggested to her that, | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
although this has worked out well for Eric, some people watching might | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
resent the fact that those who've broken the law are being helped at | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
all. You could argue that, yes. In a | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
climate where jobs have been scarce, you might say people with | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
convictions are responsible for the barriers they face and law abiding | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
people are entitled to be at an advantage. The other side of the | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
argument is that, if former offenders get into employment, they | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
are less likely to reoffend which protects us all from crime. But when | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
you ask the public, it is clear this is a question of trust. It depends | :07:05. | :07:13. | |
on how bad the offence was. If it was for murder, probably not. Why | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
not? Another opportunity for them. You can't keep them all in prison | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
because it is overcrowded. So, it is worth giving them a chance to see if | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
they can prove they can make a decent contribution to society now. | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
I would think about it. Anybody with petty crimes deserves a second | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
chance. We always hear that re`offending rates are too high. | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
What's being done to bring them down? | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
The government says it is changing the way offenders are rehabilitated | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
in the community. The justice minister told us: | :07:52. | :08:12. | |
But the question of how we punish offenders and rehabilitate them is a | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
difficult one, which successive governments have struggled with. | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
An 18`year old man has become the third person arrested in connection | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
with the as yet "unexplained death" of a woman in Buckingham on Tuesday | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
night. A postmortem was due to be carried out on the 24`year`old's | :08:35. | :08:35. | |
body today. The government has called it a | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
serious and often hidden issue, but a new study has revealed that | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
hundreds of teenagers in Oxfordshire have physically attacked their own | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
parents. Thames Valley Police have dealt with more than 250 cases | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
involving young people in the past three years. They include assault, | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
harassment, and making threats to kill. The findings have been | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
published in a major UK`wide study by Oxford University, which looked | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
at adolescent violence. Criminology experts say many parents feel | :09:00. | :09:00. | |
ashamed to report the problem. A new piece of kit is now aboard the | :09:01. | :09:08. | |
Thames Valley and Chilterns Air Ambulance, which paramedics say will | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
help them start treating accident and emergency victims much more | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
quickly. The portable i`stat machine will analyse the patient's blood, | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
while they're en route to hospital. And the highly detailed information | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
it produces will help medical staff provide the correct care. The | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
Benson`based aircraft is the first air ambulance in the country to get | :09:23. | :09:33. | |
the new equipment. In terms of making critical, | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
clinical management decisions, the i`stat will help us a lot. If we | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
know the results, it can certainly help us make those critical | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
decisions. When we deliver the patient and hand them over to the | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
hospital, we are now giving them critical information at the earliest | :09:52. | :09:52. | |
point. The MP for Banbury, Sir Tony Baldry, | :09:53. | :10:04. | |
has called for a line to be drawn on cuts to army jobs, after the | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
government has announced plans to axe around 1,500 members of the | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
Armed Forces. The Defence Secretary Philip Hammond told the Commons that | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
the cuts were necessary as part of moves to reduce the regular army by | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
20,00, and expand the reserve force. Sir Baldry said the Army required | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
"stability and certainty", and called for this to be the end to | :10:21. | :10:22. | |
redundancies. There was a time, not so long ago, | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
when the little red phone box at the end of the road was the height of | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
communication technology. Now, though, they're more of a museum | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
piece. But, in one Wiltshire village, not far from Swindon, they | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
want to change that, and make their little landmark cutting`edge once | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
again. Jules Hyam reports. The quiet Wiltshire village of | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
Purton. There's been a church here since Saxon times. And some kind of | :10:45. | :10:52. | |
settlement since the Iron Age. Now it is very much in the technological | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
age because of this. Public telephones in rural areas have been | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
doing the hokey Cokie, but here, they have kept their listed | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
telephone booth. But you notice something when you step inside. | :11:09. | :11:17. | |
Sorry, you couldn't hear. There is a telephone but also an information | :11:18. | :11:26. | |
screen rigged up to Wi`Fi. They are highly respected around the world | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
and kept very good care of. But in this country they have been | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
neglected. We feel quite strongly they need to be kept in use, as a | :11:36. | :11:43. | |
communications tool. This one does look rather fetching with its bow. | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
They are very proud of this here, and even gave it an opening | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
ceremony. It is ringing! Well, it is still a phone, albeit a rather | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
hi`tech, new addition to the village. It rang! It is technically | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
owned by BT, we had to adopt it which cost us a pound. There are | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
times when mobile phones don't work. There are elderly people who | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
don't have phones. So, a proudly adopted little landmark that really | :12:15. | :12:15. | |
is cutting edge. That's all from me. I'll have the | :12:16. | :12:25. | |
headlines at 8pm, and a full bulletin at 10.25pm. | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
controversial fracking techniques will not be needed to extract shale | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
oil there. It's submitted a new planning application to test the | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
rate of oil flow from the site. Still to come: Testing Ten Ton Tess, | :12:39. | :12:46. | |
how the Second World War's biggest bomb made an impact in the new | :12:47. | :12:57. | |
Forest. Parents could be left out of pocket | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
and childminders driven out of business, according to the | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
childminder Association, who say that members will need to put prices | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
up because of changes to the way that they are regulated. The | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
Government wants to introduce childminding agencies, an idea being | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
trialled in parts of Hampshire and Dorset. I have four children, so to | :13:17. | :13:24. | |
fund for children in child care would be astronomical. We can't | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
afford for me to work, which is ridiculous. It is too much to pay | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
out. It is not worth working to get the money to go into childcare | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
costs. If I didn't have family to provide childcare, it wouldn't worth | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
me working. For these mums, childcare is a big | :13:41. | :13:52. | |
part of the family budget. Childcare agencies will encourage more people | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
to get into the business, said the Government, but those in the | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
profession so they are not needed. How can a lower the cost of | :14:00. | :14:08. | |
childcare who will `` if they are bringing in a middleman who will | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
charge parents for using the agency and charging us for registering with | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
us. We run on such low margins as it is, we don't make a lot of money. | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
The Government insists these agencies will help childminders and | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
take the pressure of local authorities who are currently | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
responsible for ensuring childminders are registered with | :14:29. | :14:30. | |
Ofsted and are abiding by health and safety standard. There wouldn't be | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
any extra costs. We want people to be able to be independent | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
childminders, and Ofsted are clear about that as well. What we do have | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
is that we have an issue with not enough people joining the | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
profession, and we need to find new ways of encouraging people to join. | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
Childminders are not encouraged by assurances that they will remain | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
independent. They don't know how it will impact them if they want to | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
remain independent, and a lot of them do, because that is why they | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
entered the profession, to become self`employed and be independent. | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
Trials have taken place across the country to see how agencies would be | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
set up. Bournemouth and Hampshire county council is will both chosen | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
to pilot the scheme, but they wanted to wait until the trials were over | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
before they commented. Children's charity is helping with coordinating | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
the trials, and says that the new system is being refined. We don't | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
want the cost of childcare to increase the parents at all, because | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
we know that lots of parents are very stretched at the moment in | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
terms of childcare costs. But we do need to ensure that the quality of | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
childcare is high, and this is one way that it may be possible to do | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
so. For parents and childminders alike, | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
these changes to childcare provisions will be closely watched. | :15:51. | :16:02. | |
Lecturers from the South's universities took part in a national | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
two`hour walk`out today. It's part of an ongoing protest about pay. | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
Unions have described the 1% offer on the table as miserly, and say it | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
represents a 13% pay cut in real terms since October 2008. The | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
employers say the offer is "sustainable, fair and final". An | :16:17. | :16:27. | |
increasing number of cancer patients in rural parts of the South are able | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
to get chemotherapy near their homes instead of having to travel to major | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
hospitals. Berkshire is the latest county to take charge of a mobile | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
chemotherapy unit. The quarter`of`a`million`pound treatment | :16:38. | :16:39. | |
vehicle has been provided by a charity and will be run by NHS | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
staff. Nikki Mitchell reports. Chemotherapy can involve a 60 mile | :16:46. | :16:47. | |
round trip to the Royal Berkshire Hospital. Public transport can take | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
hours, and driving comes with the inevitable stress of trying to park. | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
But not any more. This huge treatment centre on wheels will be | :16:57. | :17:07. | |
driving to patience instead. `` driving the patients. We will be | :17:08. | :17:09. | |
using the unit to treat between ten and 15 patients per day. | :17:10. | :17:17. | |
The former Formula One team principal who was behind Jenson | :17:18. | :17:26. | |
Button's success lost his mother to cancer, and the unit is made in his | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
memory. My mother died of cancer, and Teddy was my father's nickname | :17:31. | :17:39. | |
for her. So this is a special day. The other unit is `` the other unit | :17:40. | :17:48. | |
to Mac already in operation in other area are showing that these units | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
can greatly reduce stress on patients. It is an enormous | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
challenge to beat cancer, and I want to share this help. Initially, the | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
unit will treat people in Thatcher and Henley`on`Thames, but it is | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
hoped to roll out as far as Hungerford in the future. And the | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
charity wants one of these fans in every county in England. | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
Access to the mobile chemotherapy units for rural areas. Now, let's | :18:19. | :18:27. | |
look ahead to the weekend, the FA Cup, and of course the Cherries. | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
Bournemouth very excited, and those who could get tickets, national | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
attention, it is all set up for a fantastic occasion. A nice little | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
back story to this. I was looking at the archive | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
images! One man we know well features. | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
Bournemouth and Burton Albion fans struck up a rapport during the | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
protracted third round tie, but the Cherries forged strong link with | :18:58. | :18:58. | |
Liverpool at the turn`of`the`century. One young | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
player that night certainly had some food for thought, which could come | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
in very useful this weekend. As the teams ran out, 100 balloons | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
drifted into the wintry sky, one for every year of football played by AFC | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
Bournemouth. It was a centenary which Bournemouth nearly didn't | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
reach. Three years before this night, the club have almost gone | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
bust. They were saved by a landmark community takeover. It was packed | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
for Liverpool's visit, and Gerard Houllier fielded a strong side. | :19:33. | :19:43. | |
Bournemouth lost the Game 4`0. In the Cherries side, a talented young | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
defender, learning fast. A great experience to play against | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
world`class players like that. Certainly different from an average | :19:54. | :19:54. | |
division two game. 14 years on, Eddie Howe would no | :19:55. | :20:05. | |
doubt say the same to his players. Beyond the guard as the likes of | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
Luis Suarez come through. We want the players to express themselves | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
and show how good they are. And from my perspective, we have got to try | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
to get the game right and try to make it tough for Liverpool. | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
Those who help make the centenary game possible will no doubt share in | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
the pride where Bournemouth sit today. | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
Tremendous to see how things have changed, and Eddie Howe has changed | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
a bit as well! Now, as training`ground bust`ups go, | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
this sounds like one of the more unpleasant. Southampton Football | :20:38. | :20:39. | |
Club has suspended record signing Dani Osvaldo for two weeks. It | :20:40. | :20:49. | |
follows an incident at the club's training ground in which Osvaldo | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
squared up to team`mate Jose Fonte, leaving the defender bleeding. The | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
28`year`old Italian striker signed for the club in August in a deal | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
worth ?15 million. Last month he was suspended for three games for his | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
part in a scuffle on the bench at Newcastle. In 2011 he was suspended | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
by former club Roma for slapping a team`mate. | :21:07. | :21:08. | |
Hampshire cricket of signed Carl Abbott from South Africa. He has | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
played in every form of the game his country, and will arrive in time for | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
the county's second of the season. The 26`year`old has taken 125 | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
first`class wickets in his home country. A lot of people talking | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
today about Carl Abbott being a good player, South Africa over here for a | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
series, and he could in theory be called up to play for them, and then | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
his appearances for Hampshire would be limited, so they are hoping that | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
want happen. This is a great story now. Let's | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
think back a few years. It was nicknamed Ten Ton Tess ` the biggest | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
bomb dropped by British forces during World War Two. Designed by | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
bouncing bomb inventor Barnes Wallis, Grand Slam was dropped | :21:45. | :21:54. | |
mainly on viaducts and bridges. But before being dropped in Germany, it | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
was tested here in the South. And now archaeologists in the New | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
Forest have started to examine a test target for the bomb that has | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
been buried for the last six decades. Our reporter Rob Powell has | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
been on the trail of the earthquake bomb. | :22:09. | :22:17. | |
We thought this 12,000 pounder was big a month ago, but it is only half | :22:18. | :22:28. | |
the size of Ten Ton Tess, the new big bomb. It burrows into the | :22:29. | :22:40. | |
ground, explodes, and the shock waves destroy the target. The | :22:41. | :22:49. | |
tremendous explosion throws up a column of earth and smoke like a | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
great inverted mountain. Even at this height, the aircraft shudders | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
under the shock. But it was here in the new Forest | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
whether Barnes Wallis designed bomb was first tested. This area was | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
chosen because of its size and isolation. 5000 acres were cordoned | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
off using a nine mile fence. Little is left of the range above ground | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
nowadays apart from a few craters and this mound. Buried beneath this | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
mound is the prototype bomb shelter, partly destroyed in the | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
1940s when the Grand Slam was tested on it. It was being used to test the | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
development of air raid shelters. After the war, they couldn't | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
actually dismantle it, so what they did was cover it in Perth. And what | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
we are doing is using our techniques to see the condition of the | :23:44. | :23:45. | |
structure as it is now 66 years later. Archaeologists have been | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
using probes to map out structure. These are electrical probes which | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
pass a small current through, so small it can barely be detected, but | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
it allows us to measure the resistance in the soil in between | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
them. It gives them a better idea of the state of the structure, and what | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
is remaining there, and then they can make a decision about what they | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
want to do next. That could involve further research, conservation or | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
excavation. An effort to protect what Ten Ton Tess almost destroyed. | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
An extraordinary story. And just to let you know that so many of you | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
sent in your stories about the First World War, your family involvement, | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
and we are going to be looking at some of those stories in the next | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
few weeks, so make sure you stay with us here on the programme for | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
that. Onto the weather, and it is not looking good, is it? | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
It never is! Sorry, Alexis. | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
No, and I can't bring good news. We just want a little glimmer of hope! | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
For your football game on Saturday, there is a glimmer of hope. It will | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
be mainly dry, because that is one of our better days. As we look ahead | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
towards tomorrow and also Sunday, not looking so good. Not everyone | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
will be affected by really heavy rainfall. We do have some weather | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
pictures for you. Maureen Coles took this photo of the | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
sunrise over Southsea this morning from Gosport. | :25:16. | :25:17. | |
Keith Nisbet captured the morning dew on cobwebs on Chalton Down in | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
Hampshire whilst the sun was rising. And John Young took this photo of a | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
robin singing on Bowling Alley Walk in Dorchester. | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
We did see some sunshine today, but the rain is going to arrive | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
overnight tonight. We have two weather warnings in force, one for | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
tomorrow lasting through into the night, and one for Sunday. Through | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
the course of tonight, maybe a frost initially under those clearing | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
skies, but we will see a band of rain arriving from the West during | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
the course of the night, and that will allow temperatures to rise | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
slightly. A touch of frost initially, before the band of rain | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
arrived during the early hours of the morning, the Western areas | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
initially. Temperatures falling initially during the first Park of | :26:06. | :26:13. | |
the night `` part of the night. The rain will start to edge its way | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
eastwards, which is why the Met office have issued a yellow weather | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
warning. We could see around three quarters of an inch of rain falling | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
through Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire and the Isle of Wight, but those are | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
the counties and areas affected by the weather warning. Elsewhere, | :26:31. | :26:33. | |
still the risk of localised flooding. That band of rain will | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
engulf much of the region tomorrow, little respite from it throughout | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
the day, and it will last through tomorrow night, with temperatures up | :26:43. | :26:50. | |
to around 6`10 Celsius. These temperatures will rise later in the | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
day. The rain eventually clears tomorrow night, and we will see a | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
little mist and fog with all the moisture in the air. Temperatures | :27:01. | :27:09. | |
down to around 6`8 Celsius. A decent day on Saturday until the evening, | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
when a band of showers moves in, but this is the feature we are keeping a | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
close eye on, and that is heading our way for Sunday. The winds will | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
pick`up, gusts along the south coast. The Met Office have issued | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
yellow weather warning for that, so the warnings in force from tonight | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
through tomorrow and also for Sunday. The days in between will be | :27:29. | :27:30. | |
slightly drier. Umbrellas and galoshes! That's it | :27:31. | :27:40. | |
for now. More from us at eight and 10.25. Goodbye for now. | :27:41. | :27:53. | |
