That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me, and on | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hello and welcome to South Today from Oxford. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
In tonight's programme: A woman from Milton Keynes pleads guilty to | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
murdering her 83`year`old husband. John Sampford had been suffering | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
from a terminal illness and was killed last year. His wife claims it | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
was an act of mercy. Also coming up ` a court's convicted | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
this police officer from Banbury for selling personal information of | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
accident victims. It's a weekend of celebrations for | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
staff at RAF Benson ` 75 years since the airbase first opened. | :00:32. | :00:38. | |
And later on: we'll have a regional update on football's transfer | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
deadline day. Clubs have just a few hours left to complete permanent | :00:42. | :00:42. | |
deals. Good evening. | :00:43. | :00:55. | |
A 75`year`old woman has pleaded guilty to the murder of her husband | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
` claiming in court it was an act of mercy. Shelia Sampford from Milton | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
Keynes appeared via video link from prison. The court heard how she told | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
police after her arrest last July ` that her 83`year`old terminally ill | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
husband's death was part of a suicide pact. Jessica Cooper has | :01:11. | :01:19. | |
this report. Sheila Sampford appeared in court | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
via video link from prison. When asked how she did it to the charge | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
of murdering her husband, she said, guilty. It was on the 5th of July | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
last year that police were called to this house in Bancroft Park and | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
found John Sampford who had been strangled to death. And neighbour | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
has described them as a lovely, genuine couple who had been married | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
for 50 years, St John were Sheila's rock, and had been receiving | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
treatment for leukaemia. Court heard that Sheila Sampford told police | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
that killing John was part of a suicide pact. Secures said the issue | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
to consider was whether she believed it was an act of mercy. The defence | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
said the only matter was whether she asked him to do what she did to | :02:08. | :02:16. | |
him. The sentence she is given will depend on whether the judge believes | :02:17. | :02:25. | |
she carried out a mercy killing. It's the wettest January on record | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
according to Oxford University, and there will be more rain overnight. | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
The meteorological station and Green Templeton College has been measuring | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
rainfall since 1767. There has now been more than 138 millimetres for | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
the month. The last time it was that we was in 1852. The Environment | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
Agency has issued several flood warnings and said the region is | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
particularly sensitive because the ground is so saturated already. | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
The flooding we had in December has overwhelmed the trade systems. Flood | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
plains are storing water, they are designed to do so, however, the fact | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
there is so much water around really causes concern in terms of the | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
additional rainfall we have. Even smaller to rainfall can cause | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
significant flooding and we are keeping a watchful eye on the impact | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
that the rainfall has an flood risk in the communities of Oxfordshire. | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
A former UKIP councillor who has blamed the recent flooding on God's | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
wrath for the legalisation of gay marriage has had his home | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
vandalised. Henley town councillor David Silvester ` who has been | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
suspended from UKIP ` has had his home pelted with eggs. An online | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
petition calling for him to step down from his post ` has now reached | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
over 24,000 signatures. Thames Valley Police has told the | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
BBC it will now start misconduct proceedings following the conviction | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
of a former officer who used the force computer to steal the data of | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
thousands of accident victims, and then sell it on to solicitors. Today | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
a jury has failed to reach a verdict for a third defendant accused of | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
taking part in the conspiracy. Tom Turrell has been following the trial | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
and joins me now. What's the latest? | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
This is all about the former Thames Valley Police officer from Banbury. | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
She has been found guilty of stealing thousands of accident | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
victim details from the force's computer. She is doing it to sell it | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
on to firms of solicitors. She couldn't do it without a middleman, | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
and that was this man from Birmingham. Between them they made | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
just over ?26,000 in 2011, and the prosecution said it had stopped | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
them, it could open up as as high as ?1 million. The man's wife was | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
implicated in all of this and faced the same charges, however today, a | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
jury said they could not reach a verdict with her trial. The | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
sentencing will take place in March and they can expect time behind | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
bars. What does Thames Valley Police have | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
to say about this? In a statement, they told me, | :05:07. | :05:26. | |
Hundreds of new homes are to be built in Cherwell ` despite the fact | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
that the district council has rejected the applications. | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
Government planning inspectors have ruled that developers can go ahead | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
with a new estate in Adderbury. It's the latest in a string of | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
applications that have been approved at appeal because Cherwell hasn't | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
met housing targets. Angela Walker reports. | :05:47. | :05:55. | |
Elaine Bryant has lived in the village of Bradbury for nearly 40 | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
years, no developers have been granted permission to build 65 | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
houses on the field opposite. You are actually knocking the | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
character of the village out of sync. You are taking out | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
countryside. People choose to live in the village, not an extension of | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
another town. Cherwell district Council turned | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
down the application but have been overruled by government inspectors. | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
In the past three years, the planning Inspectorate has given the | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
go`ahead for hundreds of new homes in Banbury, Norton after Cherwell | :06:33. | :06:41. | |
rejected them. Will have too many houses in the | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
wrong places, and that spells disaster for the future. Planning is | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
about getting the right number of houses in the right places, having | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
education, retail, transport links. We need housing, we know where we | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
need to put housing in the next 20 years. | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
The government says the number of decisions being overturned has | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
fallen, but councils need an up`to`date local plan to help shape | :07:08. | :07:15. | |
where development should go. I'm so disgusted, I really am. To | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
ruin the countryside like this. The local councils are totally | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
knowledgeable of local situations. We talk to local people, they know | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
the existing problems. The traffic is just impossible. | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
Cherwell still has not finished its local plan, and will be presented on | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
Friday and a public enquiry will start in May. Until it is agreed, | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
the odds are in favour of more housing development being accepted | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
at appeal. Meanwhile, new figures show more | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
than 6,000 new homes have been registered in our region over the | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
past year ` an increase of around 10% compared to 2012. The most were | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
in Buckinghamshire, where more than 2,500 have been registered. The | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
National House Building Council says across the UK the number of new | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
homes registered is at its highest since the economic downturn of 2007. | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
The NHBC also claims it's been a strong picture for Oxfordshire. | :08:17. | :08:24. | |
It's great news for the country and the Thames Valley. We are seeing | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
strong growth coming through Tom 51 present growth year`on`year arm of | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
the strongest numbers we have seen since 2006/2007. It is good news for | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
the industry and good news for those who support the industry, and it's | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
good news for people who want to get on the property ladder. | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
While the Prime Minister has been leading a UK`France summit at one of | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
Oxfordshire's airbases, Brize Norton, today, this weekend marks a | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
special anniversary for staff at RAF Benson. Tomorrow will be 75 years | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
since the airbase in south Oxfordshire first opened. . And now | :08:55. | :09:04. | |
a new generation of aircraft has been drafted in, to the base, as | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
part of a multi`million pound upgrade. BBC South was the first | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
broadcast media aboard the new Puma MK two. Stuart Tinworth reports. | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
Preparing for take`off in the nineteen forties. | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
Throughout the Second World War, aircraft at RAF Benson was used to | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
gather photographic evidence. But over the last 75 years many other | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
important tasks have happened here. As well transporting kings and | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
queens, RAF Benson has been home to Puma helicopters for nearly 20 | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
years. The last few months though have marked a new generation of | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
aircraft ` a multi million pound upgrade from the Puma MK1 to the new | :09:40. | :09:52. | |
MK2. This upgrade is part of a ?260 million programme, and it means it | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
will travel with 35 present more power. It can go faster, and thanks | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
to increased fuel efficiency it can also go further. And staff here | :10:04. | :10:11. | |
believe it's a good investment. The Puma offers capability of going | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
to most places within the world, and capable of rebuild within four hours | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
to have the aircraft operating. These pumas can carry up to 16 | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
fully`equipped troops and have highly advanced digitised glass | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
cockpits ` arguably more efficient than some Merlin helicopters. | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
Investment in Puma has been a great and for RAF Benson. The future | :10:34. | :10:41. | |
capability will be the Puma now that the Merrin is moving to the Navy. | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
Seven of the RAF's fleet of the new pumas have so far been delivered to | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
RAF Benson. The rest will be handed over next year. | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
That's all from me for the moment. I'll have the headlines at 8pm and a | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
full bulletin at 10:25pm. Now more of today's stories with Sally | :10:59. | :10:59. | |
Taylor. been crucial in safeguarding up to | :11:00. | :11:16. | |
one thousand two hundred jobs. Who is coming in? Who's going out? | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
All the news from today's transfer deadline coming up. Rain and high | :11:23. | :11:31. | |
winds have hit the south again this evening, prompting warnings of more | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
potential flooding. The Environment Agency, which has | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
issued numerous flood warnings, said many coastal areas would be affected | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
by high tides in the coming days. Our reporter Sean Killick is in | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
Pagham on the West Sussex coast this evening where residents have been | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
facing concerns since Christmas over their flood defences. Sean, how's it | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
looking? It's pretty wet and windy here. I'm | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
on one of the patios at one of the seafront houses here. It used to be | :11:59. | :12:06. | |
about 80 yards away, but during the nights the sea has eroded the beach. | :12:07. | :12:14. | |
The view from this room is dramatic, but the sea is getting closer every | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
day. Every night, we hear rumbling when | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
the rocks are falling down. Nothing is safe here. The residents along | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
the strip off the beach are all very concerned. The beach is slowly being | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
washed away. These are the houses, and this is | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
the beach. The shingle you can see out there is a spate which is | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
stretching from the beach a quarter of a mile away. That's never used to | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
be here. This is now the mouth of the harbour. Every time the titles | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
in or out, it takes part of the beach with it. Residents want a hole | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
cut through to alter the current and stop its washing away the beach. The | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
council says it is doing what it can to protect their homes. The ?500,000 | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
we spent on this rock has provided a defence. | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
We are looking at about ?100,000 of work to protect it further will stop | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
our problem is finding that money. The council says the rock is still | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
protecting the homes, but with more storms and spring tides this | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
weekend, it has shingles in position in case of emergencies. The | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
Environment Agency says there are nine flood warnings in the region, | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
including a long stretches of the River Thames. You saw flooded roads | :13:44. | :13:52. | |
in Berkshire. There are warnings of difficult conditions in the next few | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
hours, and motorists are urged to take care of. They are going to be | :13:56. | :14:05. | |
salting the roads tonight, because of the risk of freezing | :14:06. | :14:13. | |
temperatures. The weather is coming up. | :14:14. | :14:24. | |
There has been disruption on the trains after a signalling problem in | :14:25. | :14:32. | |
Salisbury. Services are expected to be | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
disrupted until at least 9pm tonight. | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
A woman whose house caught fire after she charged an electronic | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
cigarette is warning others of the potential dangers. Tam Hunt had only | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
just bought the device which she plugged in for just a few minutes. | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
It exploded causing a fire which spread through the first floor of | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
her house in Bordon in Hampshire. James Ingham has been to meet her. | :14:52. | :14:59. | |
I heard the fire alarms go off, ran upstairs, and discovered that my | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
whole bedroom was on fire. It's really badly damaged, isn't it? | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
It is. This is literally ten minutes worth of damage. We were incredibly | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
lucky. I was downstairs making a cup of tea when the fire alarms went | :15:14. | :15:22. | |
off. When I came upstairs, I can only describe it as carnage. It was | :15:23. | :15:24. | |
terrifying. An e`cigarette works by heating | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
liquid nicotine, turning it into vapour. But they need to be charged. | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
You unscrew it. You take the vapour away. You then plug in the charger, | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
and that can go into any certified adapter, or even into your laptop. | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
After being charged in this plug socket, this is all that is left of | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
Tam's e`cigarette. Trading Standards are now looking into what happened, | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
trying to identify exactly which product it was that she bought. They | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
are certainly very concerned. Advocates of e`cigarettes warned | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
that charging any lithium battery carries a small risk. But they | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
insist that products are regulated sufficiently. | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
Electronic cigarettes go through at least 15 EDU directives. They need | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
to be trading standards compliant. They need to be CE marked to prove | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
their safety. Anybody who is selling the ones that aren't are breaking | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
the law. But Tam is concerned, and says she'd | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
never use an e`cigarette again. I thought, this is brilliant. This | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
is a great way to give up smoking. I'm going to extend my health. It's | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
not going to impact my children. It's had more impact than I ever | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
could have imagined. It literally is one of the worst things I've ever | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
done. It has caused complete devastation to us. | :16:40. | :16:48. | |
Onto sport now and we're into the final hours of football's transfer | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
deadline day. Tony's here to tell us what's happening. Tony, it's a day | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
where there's a lot of speculation, and fans can be on the edge of their | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
seat. This day was made with the social | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
media age! We'll stick to what's happening in | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
these final hours of the window. All the deals must be completed by 11PM | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
tonight in the UK. The big transfer is a departure from St Mary's and no | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
real surprise after the past week of headlines. Dani Osvaldo has been in | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
Italy today completing a loan move to Juventus. The Italians will pay a | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
loan fee of ?330,000 ` that's with a view to a permanent ?14 | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
millionswitch at the end of the season. Osvaldo was suspended by | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
Saints for a training ground attack on Jose Fonte. Meanwhile Jason | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
Puncheon` who's been on loan at Crystal Palace since August has | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
moved to London permanently for ?1.75 million Bournemouth have | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
finally landed striker Yann Kermorgant after a week of | :17:40. | :17:41. | |
negotiations which saw the player travel south on wednesday and then | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
return today to complete the formalities of a two and a half year | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
contract for a fee of around ?400,000. | :17:49. | :18:06. | |
I think it is a very good project for the club. We want to push | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
forward is to enter the Premier League. | :18:13. | :18:27. | |
Southampton go to relegation threatened Fulham tomorrow in the | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
Premier League. Saints sit ninth in the table, after | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
Tuesday's draw with Arsenal. Rickie Lambert is fit again after a | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
hamstring injury. Victor Wanyama is in contention to return after ten | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
games out through injury. Away from the Premier League, | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
Reading go to Millwall tomorrow, hoping to build on their latest big | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
win. Bournemouth are at home again ` their fifth home game in a row, as | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
they host a Leicester side which has won its last eight. Brighton are at | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
Watford on Sunday. In league One, Swindon host Oldham and MK Dons | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
entertain Tranmere. Portsmouth are at home against fellow strugglers | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
Torquay at Fratton Park. Managerless Oxford host Wimbledon. Full | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
commentary on BBC local radio and the goals are on the Football League | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
Show tomorrow night. And in the non league, four of the | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
eight remaining teams in this season's FA Trophy are from | :19:19. | :19:20. | |
Hampshire ` it's quarter`final weekend. So good luck to fans of | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
Havant and Waterlooville, Aldershot, Eastleigh and Gosport Borough. | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
Reading Ladies defend their national indoor hockey title this weekend at | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
Wembley Arena. The event has changed from a six player per team format to | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
five. Reading head into the weekend with high hopes, but the continuing | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
success for the club at women's and men's levels is coming at a | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
financial cost. Skipper Emma Thomas joined me earlier to look ahead. | :19:40. | :19:55. | |
It's a big weekend of indoor hockey. We are already through to the | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
finals. After last year's success, would you | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
consider yourselves likely to win the trophy again? | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
I don't think there is such a thing as favourites in sports. Maybe the | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
other team edge its. It's going to be a really close game. | :20:17. | :20:24. | |
They've been there before and beaten us there before. They have won one, | :20:25. | :20:33. | |
we have want one. There are only five of you on the | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
pitch. It's a relatively big pitch for five people. | :20:39. | :20:40. | |
It's actually a big space. It is quite exciting. The downside is, you | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
have to work really hard to get enough people in attack and enough | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
in defence. For us, it's a positive, because we have a massive bench. | :20:51. | :20:58. | |
So you can play to the strengths of the squad. You are so strong, but | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
there's a price to this success, isn't there? It's the funding of | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
getting you to these events. The men have competed in Europe for eight | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
consecutive seasons. We are in our third season. It does | :21:13. | :21:19. | |
come as a huge price. Most of us have regular jobs alongside playing | :21:20. | :21:27. | |
hockey. It is expensive. You've got international players. | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
How can you find ways to help those of you in everyday jobs get out | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
there and compete? The club are hugely supportive, and | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
the members help us from that point of view. We run coaching sessions to | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
help fund ourselves. We also have a few sponsorship deals. There is a | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
national campaign to send us to Europe. Today, we announced a | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
sponsorship deal with a charity who are helping fund what we do. People | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
forget that they think it is a high`performance sports, so you just | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
take the weekend off and go. Other mac we pay to play, so we are | :22:08. | :22:19. | |
very different to the footballers. It's the first time we've been. It's | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
`20 out there, so we are glad it's outdoors will stop it will be really | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
exciting to play some of the best nations indoors. | :22:30. | :22:46. | |
James O'Connor will leave at the end of the season. He's hoping to get | :22:47. | :22:56. | |
back onto the Australian team. And six Nations starts tomorrow. We've | :22:57. | :23:06. | |
got France playing England's. Wales are playing Italy. Ireland's playing | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
Scotland on Sunday. What is the oldest food in your | :23:10. | :23:22. | |
kitchen cupboard? At university, we had a massive tin | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
of ravioli which we never touched. This is a time tin of luncheon meat | :23:27. | :23:35. | |
45 years old. When he was 22, Nick went shopping | :23:36. | :23:43. | |
with his girlfriend. We saw these catering sized tins of luncheon meat | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
and decided to get a couple. It cost him four shillings. That is | :23:48. | :23:54. | |
20p and today's money. Nick didn't know that it would be the beginning | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
of a moral relationship. When my father died, we found the | :24:01. | :24:07. | |
tin that I remembered giving to my parents some 30 years previously. | :24:08. | :24:15. | |
I've had bad tin in one of my cupboards for the last ten years. I | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
have no intention of opening it! I would love to know if it was | :24:20. | :24:27. | |
edible. As long as the tin looks sound, I'd | :24:28. | :24:35. | |
probably eat it! Is pretty gross, isn't it! | :24:36. | :24:43. | |
I'm not sure his son would agree that it's a perfect family heirloom! | :24:44. | :24:58. | |
Less get the weather. `` lets get the weather. | :24:59. | :25:13. | |
There has been some heavy rain this afternoon, and it will continue | :25:14. | :25:21. | |
until just after midnight. There will be quite a few heavy showers, | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
and temperatures falling rapidly under clearing skies. The winds will | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
fall like true overnights, bringing the risk of some ice. There may be | :25:30. | :25:37. | |
the odd wintry showers over high grounds. A bit of sleet, even the | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
odd snowflakes. The winds will increase in strength tomorrow. We | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
are looking at gale`force winds across the coast. A bit of | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
wintriness over the Cotswolds, a bit of sleet or even snow. It's mainly | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
falling as rain. Highs tomorrow of six. A cold Biel to things, with | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
those strong winds. It will be very strong along the south coast. `` a | :26:06. | :26:15. | |
cold deal to things. Check the Environment Agency website for more | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
flood warnings. The risk of localised flooding following that | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
rain, and there is the Environment Agency warning number for you if you | :26:26. | :26:34. | |
are concerned about the situation. A slightly better day on Sunday, but | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
tomorrow we will have a few showers. They could be heavy, but there will | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
be some dry periods as well. Temperatures tomorrow night down to | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
four. A dry day on Sunday, but there is still a big swell in the English | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
Channel, which means we may have some large coastal waves. Sunshine | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
to be had on Sunday, and a few showers mainly for the south coast. | :27:01. | :27:08. | |
Still a breeze, but not as strong. We are looking at gusts tomorrow of | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
50 mph. The Met office are warning of those winds. In a better day on | :27:14. | :27:24. | |
Sunday, with some sunny spells, scattered showers, Mitre winds. | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
Definitely the best day of the weekend. More rain and strong winds | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
arrive next week. Monday and also Wednesday. | :27:33. | :27:34. |
