Thousands of protest to remain in Thousands of protest to remain in | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hello and welcome to South Today from Oxford. In tonight's programme: | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
A nurse is cautioned for making sexual comments to a student. It | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
happened in the plastic surgery department at the Stoke Mandeville | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
Hospital in 2010. Also coming up: A lifeline for the | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
last Oxfordshire carers' group which was facing closure. The South and | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
Vale Carers Centre has been given a helping hand from another charity. | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
He's the teenager from Didcot who's back to family life on the farm | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
after becoming the youngest person to row across the Atlantic. | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
And later on: We take a look at all the action on the water for one of | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
the the world's top sailing competitions. | :00:45. | :00:55. | |
First tonight, a plastic surgery nurse has been handed a three`year | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
caution after admitting making sexual comments towards a student he | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
was working with at Stoke Mandeville Hospital. The Nursing and Midwifery | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
Council panel decided his ability to practise had been impaired following | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
what happened. Earlier, I asked our reporter, Stuart Tinworth, what | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
happened in this case. The comments relate to when Perry | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
John Boss worked as a nurse in the plastic surgery department at Stoke | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
Mandeville Hospital in 2010. He'd started mentoring student nurses in | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
the late 80s. At an earlier hearing, he was facing six charges, two of | :01:32. | :01:40. | |
which he admitted. One comment, which he admitted to making to one | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
of the nurses under his supervision, we can't report due to its graphic | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
nature. The hearing was told when the student reported it to her line | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
manager, HE told her she shouldn't be offended because it was the sort | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
of thing that would often be said to students. The Nursing and Midwifery | :01:56. | :02:06. | |
Council accepted that there was a culture at Stoke Mandeville Hospital | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
of inappropriate language, including sexual innuendo, swearing and | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
name`calling. What has the hospital had to say? Well, Perry John Boss | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
hasn't worked there since 2012. In a statement, Buckinghamshire NHS | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
health care Trust has told us the Trust takes all allegations of this | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
nature extremely seriously, adding it refers concerns to the Nursing | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
Midwifery Council where appropriate and assists in any subsequent | :02:24. | :02:33. | |
processes. He's been handed this three`year caution order which will | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
be searchable on his record for that time. And is he still working now? | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
He is, and his current employers have described him as exemplary. The | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
panel on the hearing also acknowledged he had shown remorse | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
for his actions, had apologised to the nurse and was unlikely to repeat | :02:52. | :03:01. | |
his previous behaviour. A fatal crash on the A34 in | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
Oxfordshire has been referred to the independent police watchdog after | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
officers slowed traffic to remove a dead badger. Police were removing | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
the animal from the southbound carriageway near Marcham at around | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
3am, but as they did that, a lorry crashed with another vehicle. The | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
driver was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital but later died of | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
his injuries. The road was closed for nine hours. | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
A second man, charged over the murder of a teenager from Oxford, | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
has appeared in court. 17`year`old Connor Tremble was stabbed at his | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
home last Thursday and died in hospital at the weekend. Grant | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
Clemens, from Moreton`in`Marsh, has been charged with helping an | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
offender and is now being held in custody. A 20`year`old man from | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
Banbury, accused of killing the teenager, is also being kept in | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
custody. A charity that helps hundreds of | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
carers across the region has been saved from closure, thanks to a | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
report by us. The South and Vale Carers Centre was going to shut but | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
another local charity saw our report at the end of last year and got in | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
touch to help. Today was the start of their new partnership. | :04:10. | :04:20. | |
For Melanie, the carers Centre has been a lifeline. She has two sons | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
with autism. When her first application was rejected, they | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
helped her appeal. They have provided respite breaks for her and | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
care cover for her sons. It's made a huge difference to my life, having | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
that support, knowing it has been there, knowing it is reliable | :04:44. | :04:51. | |
because at the end of the day, most carers tend to prioritise their | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
needs after the needs of the people they care for. Last year we reported | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
the carers Centre couldn't find the money to carry on. Another charity | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
Shaw `` saw our coverage and got in touch to help. I went to our senior | :05:08. | :05:17. | |
management team and we thought it would be a good idea to see if there | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
was something we could do to help. Today they voted to work together. | :05:23. | :05:31. | |
We always hoped a miracle would happen. The publicity was so good | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
because it alerted other people around to the fact we needed help to | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
keep going. The new partnership should mean carers in the region | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
will continue to get much`needed support for many years to come. | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
While many of us are still coping with flooding, water companies in | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
our region are continuing to prepare for future drought to safeguard | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
water supplies for the future. Thames Water is building a huge | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
underground storage reservoir in Reading. A new reservoir in | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
Oxfordshire is still on the cards despite plans for one near Abingdon | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
being blocked by the government. Nikki Mitchell reports. | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
Tonnes of earth has been moved to make way for the concrete tank | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
that's starting to take shape here. This enormous chamber will be filled | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
with clean, treated water that's ready to drink so there's no room | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
for mistakes. The tanks will be sealed and then covered over. We're | :06:23. | :06:32. | |
building it with new modern construction techniques, pouring the | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
walls and the floors with concrete bought on to the site, but then | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
we're building the support columns and roof with pre`fabricated | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
sections. It makes it a lot safer, means there's less concrete coming | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
into the site and it's put together like Lego pieces. The whole | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
reservoir will be cleaned out, sanitised, filled with treated | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
drinking water, tested. There's stringent water quality tests before | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
we can put that water into the supply that can get to people's | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
taps. There's already a reservoir hidden under the grass on this site | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
in Earley. It was built in the late 1970s and holds enough water to fill | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
more than ten Olympic size swimming pools. These new storage tanks will | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
hold enough water to fill another five Olympic swimming pools. But | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
despite the huge scale of the development here, the water that | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
will fill these tanks is just a drop in the ocean compared to what's | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
needed to cope with the increase in population and changes in climate. | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
Three years ago, the government put a stop to Thames Water's plans for a | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
new super`sized reservoir in South Oxfordshire. It would have been the | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
biggest to be built in the UK in decades. But a smaller one here is | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
still a possibility if the company proves it's necessary. We've got | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
millions of extra people coming into London and the South East over the | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
next 5`10 years. Somehow, we need to meet that demand. We're looking at | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
reducing our own leakage and working with our customers to reduce their | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
demand. It could be with a new reservoir maybe in the Oxfordshire | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
area and the size would need to be determined. But it is also a | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
catchment transfer, so we are moving water from the River Severn, the | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
Midlands and maybe even further north. So this is actually quite | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
small`scale, although not everyone agrees. It's really high, that's the | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
only problem. When people are standing on top, they're going to be | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
able look into our gardens, so bang goes our privacy. There's been one | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
or two hiccups, but we need to drink water and any problems have been | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
resolved. If all goes to plan, people living in this area will be | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
drinking water straight from this tank by the end of the year. | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
The road by Sonning Bridge could be raised to try and stop problems | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
caused by flooding. The major commuter route across the River | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
Thames has been shut for weeks. Heavy duty blocks have now been put | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
across the road because it's too dangerous to use and drivers have | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
been ignoring the closure signs but the barriers have caused strong | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
reactions. If you go steady, in the middle, you can get over. I don't | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
know how I have got to get to Woodley now. They blocked off last | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
time but not like that. Loads of cars are coming through even when it | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
is closed. We can't get out that were torn out. | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
He's achieved his dream of becoming the youngest person to row across | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
the Atlantic but an Oxfordshire teenager says he's already planning | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
his next challenge. Now that Eion Hartwright is back on dry land, life | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
is returning to normal for the 17`year`old who's working on the | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
family farm near Didcot. Victoria Cook reports. | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
It might look a bit like a rowing boat but this wouldn't get very far | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
on the ocean. Owen Hartwright is back home now and he's helping to | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
run the family farm. It's been three weeks since Eoin returned from | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
smashing the world record, the youngest person to row the Atlantic. | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
It's an incredible achievement but it's taken its toll. Loading hay | :09:26. | :09:37. | |
bales is a nightmare because I so weak. It really affects your body. I | :09:38. | :09:45. | |
got back to England and couldn't face stares. It was a nightmare. But | :09:46. | :09:54. | |
I have ended up getting upstairs. Eoin spent 43 days with his uncle | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
and two team mates rowing the astonishing 3,000`mile journey. His | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
family and friends were there at the finish line to cheer him on. Not | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
only has he achieved so much at such a young age, but he's raised more | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
than ?10,000 for the children's hospice Helen Douglas House. For | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
his proud mum, it's been a stressful time. I have been very stressed, | :10:18. | :10:28. | |
very scared, haven't slept, but if he did another one, it would be a | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
totally different kettle of fish. So has the exhaustion and pain of | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
thousands of miles of rowing put him off? No, not at all. | :10:36. | :10:45. | |
That's all from me for the moment. I'll have a full | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
and any problems have been resolved. If all goes to plan, people living | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
in this area will be drinking water straight from this tank by the end | :10:51. | :10:52. | |
of the year. Lots more coming up on Friday's | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
South Today, so stay with us as we tell you how honey could be the | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
answer to treat infections after surgery. A new scheme is being | :11:00. | :11:08. | |
trialled in Winchester. A Worthing postmistress fears she'll | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
be forced into bankruptcy by plans to move counters out of small shops | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
and into national stores. Unless small retailers can meet demand for | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
longer opening hours and an increase in profit, then post counters will | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
be removed. Yvonne Larguesays this will leave her with no other option | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
but to close. Lewis Coombes reports. How are you today? | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
Yvonne Largue has been a postmistress in Worthing for seven | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
years. She runs a small shop where you can buy your bread and milk and | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
send a parcel. But she says new plans to restructure and modernise | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
the post office service will force her to close and that could mean | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
bankruptcy. Seven years, I have heard this post office. I spent an | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
absolute fortune getting it ready to the spec and everything else. And | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
?8,000 for the franchise as well. Now it looks like they can just, you | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
know, pull it away from you. The Post Office wants to relocate | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
services from small shops that don't make much money to bigger national | :12:06. | :12:13. | |
chains. It will mean more counters like this inside a WHSmith or | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
supermarket. This programme is necessary because the post office | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
losses continue to increase. The move is proposed here could | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
potentially offer benefits to consumers in a way of longer opening | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
hours, for example. A petition to keep this shop open shows a level of | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
support in the community. She'll be hoping the Post Office is listening. | :12:36. | :12:43. | |
A lot of people will be devastated if they caused. The town is quite | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
away from you, especially for older people. It is convenient, otherwise | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
you have to get a bus into town. As far as I am concerned, that means I | :12:53. | :13:00. | |
will be closed down. And that... Well, it does not bear thinking | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
about. The Windmill Theatre in | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
Littlehampton will reopen today. The cinema closed last February, but | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
locals have successfully campaigned to get it up and running again. In | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
December, a deal was agreed for a mobile cinema operator to screen | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
films. The first movie shown will be 12 Years A Slave. We put it on | :13:20. | :13:28. | |
toast, added to your gut and use it for beauty products. But honey has a | :13:29. | :13:36. | |
long tradition as a healing agent. Honey has been tested in the Royal | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
Hampshire Hospital in Wiltshire and shows it has cut infections in a | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
variety of wins. As you will see, it has been tested in Africa as a cheap | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
and accessible treatment for some distressing injuries. It is a simple | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
low`cost treatment that could cut infection rates by 6%. | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
Honey has been known to treat wins for thousands of years. The way it | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
has been processed means it is entirely novel product. In an age | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
where we await globally about antibiotic resistance, to have a | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
product that kills microbes by a different mechanism is a very | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
exciting thing. The conclusion of the study showed that 2% of 186 | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
women developed an infection after having the honey applied to secede | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
in stitches. The honey has been taken to more tropical climes. The | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
honey is easily transported and just gets running in the heat. The honey | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
has been used more successfully in Africa to treat burns and | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
infections. Jill Brooks has just come back from Uganda and Ethiopia | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
to pioneer the new treatment, where she slopped... Swapped the weak | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
bleach they were using and used honey instead. Please stop them | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
using the weak bleach and used honey on the wings. It claimed them up and | :15:02. | :15:12. | |
it promoted healing. The honey does not kill healthy tissue. Some are | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
unsure about the product. Some scepticism at first because people | :15:19. | :15:28. | |
were unused. The wounds more extreme over there because people do not go | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
for treatment until the wounds really bad. The whole business to | :15:32. | :15:40. | |
start beginning clinical trials. `` the hope is now to start. | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
A new centre for people with breast cancer is opening in Hampshire. It | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
will help women and men deal with the emotional and physical effects | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
of the disease. The Haven, which is run by a charity, has just taken | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
over an empty building in Titchfield, from where our Health | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
Correspondent David Fenton reports. It will take 12 months and ?1 | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
million to turn this listed building into something like this. A centre | :16:00. | :16:01. | |
for women and men with breast cancer. They could be doing yoga, | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
they could be doing a number of different touch therapies, not | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
particularly of this room but in some other rooms where they have | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
acupuncture to help with side effects from drugs they will be | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
under for cancer. The charity behind this specialises in the emotional | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
and psychological problems that women with breast cancer often face. | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
Claire Morgan was diagnosed seven years ago. She was treated and got | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
better but then she had lost all of her self`confidence. I did not know | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
which way to go or who to go to for help. The Haven, it is all there. | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
Once the Naas reassured me she was going to help me, automatically, I | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
had that well`being. I thought, thank goodness. It was a huge relief | :16:54. | :17:00. | |
for me. Many of the patients who come here will be referred by local | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
hospitals. It has got a great reputation for providing care for | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
women suffering from breast cancer. It provides emotional, psychological | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
and physical support and is a vital service. It is hoped the new centre | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
will open next year. Onto the weekend's sport now, and | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
Reading return to the Madejski Stadium tomorrow hoping for another | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
win to boost their promotion push. Ahead of the game against Blackburn | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
Rovers, I have been to see manager Nigel Adkins, who has kept his | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
players' focus on the field while events off the field with the club | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
up for sale continue to make the headlines. | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
Momentum and consistency seem to be key to the revival in the field. | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
Nigel Adkins has fielded the same team for the last seven games. Of | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
the lads in the team, we have momentum and they are working hard | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
and there is competition for places. They are working hard, knowing that | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
the consistency of their performances is important or someone | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
will be waiting in the wings to take their place. Last week's when kept | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
in six on the table, but the manner of the team spirit. It is good to | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
have it on card, but enhances the momentum we have got to go away to a | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
team that when the Premier League this last season. The team tipped to | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
be in the top two. To go there and win the game in a manner we have | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
done, it is four points we have taken from QPR this season. All this | :18:29. | :18:36. | |
while Madejski searches for our buyer for the club. So today has | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
been told proposals by would`be investors has been put to the club | :18:42. | :18:49. | |
in recent months. Could this filter into the football side? I do not | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
think so. The football club is together and everyone is working | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
hard. The manager knows all too much how well the team could perform in a | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
last part of the season. He saw his club win the league title two | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
seasons ago. Many in the camp using that as inspiration. | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
East Preston and Sholing both aim for places in the quarter finals of | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
the FA Vase this weekend. Meanwhile, Havant and Waterlooville | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
and Gosport play the return leg of their FA Trophy semifinal. The score | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
is level at 1`1 after Monday's first leg. The winners play Cambridge or | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
Grimsby at Wembley next month. In the Premier League, Southampton | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
will do their best to show fans their season isn't over when they | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
travel to West Ham in the Premier League after last week's exit from | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
the FA Cup. In the Championship, aside from Reading's game with | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
Blackburn, Bournemouth are at Derby. Brighton have two games in three | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
days starting with the visit of Wigan. | :19:46. | :19:47. | |
In League One, MK Dons and Swindon are on the road. | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
In League Two, Oxford go to Morecambe and Portsmouth are at | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
Scunthorpe. All the games are live on BBC local radio and the Football | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
League Show has all the goals tomorrow night. | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
One of the world's top sailing competitions is underway. The | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
Extreme Sailing Series is more high profile than ever. And as these | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
pictures from today in Singapore show you, the action on the water | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
can be dramatic. This was the Oman air boat crashing into Realstone in | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
today's action. Lymington's Sir Ben Ainslie has put | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
together a new team, including another Olympian from the South, as | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
Katy Austin reports. He is a four`time Olympic champion | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
but Sir Ben Ainslie is still hungry for victory. This year, his sights | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
are set on winning the Extreme Sailing Series. We have to learn to | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
sail with one another and these boats and this race, so it is a huge | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
amount to take on board in a short period of time. 40 foot boards are | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
largely identical and with the action taking place just offshore, | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
collisions and tight races are guaranteed. We probably will not | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
even in a tight situation, so that was my mistake. Like I said, at | :21:02. | :21:11. | |
least we note how wide the boat is. Sir Ben Ainslie is joined by two | :21:12. | :21:23. | |
others on the boat. Peter Wilson `` Pippa Wilson is also on the board. | :21:24. | :21:31. | |
It is an exciting week. They finished fifth, but there is a long | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
way to go. The racing in Singapore continues. The eighth and final act | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
of the series does not happen until Australia in December. | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
A lot of attention on the Extreme Sailing Series this year. We will | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
follow at every step of the way here. | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
Next week on South Today, we begin a series of films taking an in`depth | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
look at how the First World War changed the lives of people on the | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
home front. In partnership with Imperial War Museums, we'll delve | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
into life in the South of Britain as war raged on the continent. Here's a | :22:02. | :22:12. | |
taster of what's to come. Black powder substitutes for cordite | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
here for safety reasons. It is going to go big leap of the imagination. | :22:20. | :22:30. | |
This could be potentially dangerous. Countless soldiers suffered lasting | :22:31. | :22:32. | |
long`term effects from exposure to gas. It was what done in the front | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
line that proved the turning point for the Allied troops. He was | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
fighting the war in the laboratory. Young men were listing risking their | :22:43. | :22:52. | |
lives. They could be in no man's land where they could stay for 24 | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
hours. The aim was to get there as soon as possible but they would be | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
under fire very often. If you had a wound that was not life`threatening, | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
you would get off the front line and that was the best you could hope | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
for. Conscientious objectors, hundreds of men who refuse to fight | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
fraud into jail. Conditions were very bad. Some of the objectors in | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
Winchester start of their own secret newspaper. It was made on toilet | :23:21. | :23:29. | |
paper on which I got the material. It was vital to map the area behind | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
enemy lines and aeroplanes provided the answer. The pictures they took | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
off roads, fields and trenches gave the map`makers a whole new | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
perspective. These people were pioneers and hugely inventive and | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
had great creativity. At the end of the day, they put their lives on the | :23:50. | :23:57. | |
line. We hope you chin and for that series | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
next week. `` tune in. We start on Monday with a special | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
report by the BBC's former chief news correspondent Kate Adie, who | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
has covered numerous wars herself during her career. She looks at a | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
factory in the South, built on the orders of Winston Churchill, and how | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
schoolchildren and conkers helped to keep it and Britain's war effort | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
going. You can find films and articles covering all aspects of | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
World War One on the BBC's website. The address is on screen. And on | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
Monday, BBC local radio begins a series of reports looking at life on | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
the home front. Tune into your station at 8.15 on Monday morning to | :24:32. | :24:44. | |
hear the first of those. Sarah Farmer is here as we look at the | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
weather. It was love this morning. I pulled back the curtains, bright | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
blue sky and sunshine, glorious. Such a joy, yes. | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
One or two showers. Never seen so many rainbow photographs in our | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
inbox. They will be on our Facebook page soon. | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
We have a selection of pictures for you today. | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
It was a keen wind this morning along the Meon Shore. Len and | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
Lorraine Lambeth sent that one in, thank you. | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
If you look closely, you can see a beautiful double rainbow over Witney | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
in Oxfordshire, after a heavy rain shower this afternoon. You can see | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
that on the far right of the screen. Stephen Goodchild captured that | :25:24. | :25:24. | |
lovely scene. And a hint of spring from Ian | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
Lauder. Lovely colours in the sunshine at Rustington, West Sussex. | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
sunshine at Rustington, West We do have a fume or showers to come | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
this evening. It looks like most of those will fade away. One or two | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
went along the coast and we could see the odd heavy burst, perhaps | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
with hailstones in funding as well. Through the course of the night, | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
though showers fading away. The skies were clear particularly | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
inland. Here, we could see a touch of frost. Temperatures in towns and | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
cities 23`4 Celsius. Coastal areas in the Isle of Wight and eastwards | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
perhaps seeing showers lingering into tomorrow morning. For most, | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
tomorrow morning should be a nice day. The odd shower here or there | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
but most of seeing sunny spells. Perhaps bright as we head into the | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
afternoon and then very quiet joy that cloud thickens. `` and then | :26:15. | :26:22. | |
very gradually. Temperatures of 9`10, the breeze picking up as well. | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
It is courtesy of this low`pressure working its way in from the Atlantic | :26:29. | :26:30. | |
quite steadily through the course of the weekend. You can see the isobars | :26:31. | :26:37. | |
narrowing and that means we will see winds picking up, gusting on Sunday | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
at perhaps 60 mph on the course. Tomorrow night, that cloud will | :26:42. | :26:49. | |
thicken. Perhaps if youth spits `` perhaps some spits in sports. | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
Temperatures in little milder. Sunday, generally a dry day, perhaps | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
dampness coming and going. That rain band Rob Howley arise in the | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
afternoon`evening period. `` properly arrives. We could have more | :27:05. | :27:12. | |
problems on saturated ground. Here is your summary for the coming days. | :27:13. | :27:15. | |
Saturday is a decent rate. Sunny spells and winds picking up on the | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
afternoon. Cloudy skies with a band of rain arriving later on Sunday. | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
Then it looks like one or two blustery showers as we work our way | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
into the new working week. It looks like a bit of everything, | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
really. Whatever you do, try and stay dry over the weekend. Enjoy it. | :27:34. | :27:40. | |
We will be back on Monday at 6:30pm. Late news tonight 10:25pm. Goodbye. | :27:41. | :27:46. |
