so it's goodbye from me, and on BBC One, we now join the BBC's news | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
teams where Hello and welcome to South Today | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
from Oxford. In tonight's programme... All pain and no gain ` | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
pleas for the impact of the HS2 rail line through Buckinghamshire to be | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
reduced. Also... On trial ` the Swindon | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
striker, Nile Ranger, appears in court accused of raping a woman in a | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
hotel. The show must go on ` the curtain | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
comes down on the Winter Olympics but Aylesbury children find out | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
there's more fireworks on the way in Sochi. You are the first school in | :00:30. | :00:39. | |
the country to see this torch. The only one in the UK. | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
And later on, find out what role conkers played in helping the navy | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
fire their big guns in the Great War. | :00:47. | :00:56. | |
Good evening. Campaigners have described it as "all pain, no gain" | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
but now officials in Buckinghamshire are calling on the Government to | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
minimise the impact of the controversial high`speed rail line, | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
HS2. A series of requests to limit the effects of the railway have been | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
endorsed by the county council. They include more tunnelling, a new | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
relief road and designated areas to be protected. Our political | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
reporter, Helen Catt, has more. If the HS2 projects remains on | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
track, high`speed trains could be running through the Buckinghamshire | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
countryside from 2026. That's not what local authorities want. But, if | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
they can't stop the line, they at least want to lessen its possible | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
impact and have come up with a list of demands for the Government. | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
Firstly, it says tunnelling shouldn't stop at Little Missenden. | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
It wants the track to stay underground through the Chilterns to | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
Wendover, at an estimated cost of ?200 million. Further up the line, | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
it wants a linear park to provide a sort of green buffer between | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
Aylesbury and the train route. And, in the north of the county, it wants | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
a country park and a new station, not on this line but on the | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
East`West Rail link The idea is to stop workers at a planned HS2 | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
maintenance depot at Calvert from clogging up nearby roads. We think | :02:06. | :02:15. | |
these are the minimum we should be accepting it we are to have HS2 | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
through the countryside. Wherever you live, we want to see the very | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
best protection because if this is a national piece of infrastructure, | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
this will cost ?15 billion, we think that this will be money well spent. | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
The council's clear its overall position on HS2 has not changed, | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
though. The best result, it says, would be if the line just wasn't | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
built at all. And Helen is with me now. Helen, how | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
likely is the council to get its way over these demands? | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
It is hard to say. The plan has the support of more than 25 | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
organisations. They describe what they are asking as non`negotiable. | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
The thing with negotiations is you need two sides. There is no saying | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
that the Government will think the same way. They will be put forward | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
this Thursday. They will go to a committee of MPs who will decide | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
what should or should not be done. It is worth a memory that anywhere | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
along the route can do this, there are likely to be a lot of places | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
asking for this sort of mitigation. Flooding is starting to be talked | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
about in the same breath as HS2. In the recent floods, I'll be with | :03:31. | :03:39. | |
particular are as macro one `` Aylesbury was particular badly | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
flooded. I asked the leader of Buckinghamshire Council council | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
earlier today whether he was also concerned and he says he does share | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
the worry and they have demanded that a full flooding risk assessment | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
is carried out. A spokesman from the project told the BBC that the track | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
itself is designed to remain operational during a heavy flood. | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Tributes have been paid to a 17`year`old girl who died in a | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
multi`vehicle crash in Waddesdon, which also left four children | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
seriously injured. Laura Walden was in her final year at school and was | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
looking forward to starting university. She died last Thursday | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
in a crash on the A41. One of the other vehicles involved was a people | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
carrier with seven children onboard. Her parents said her sudden death | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
had left a hole in their family that would never be filled. A new adult | :04:29. | :04:40. | |
mental health centre, costing several million pounds, has opened | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
in Aylesbury. It is purpose designed to support patients and protect them | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
from harm. This centre is so new even the | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
parking bays are freshly painted. Patients with mental health issues | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
are currently treated at three different centres across the town. | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
From Wednesday, patients will be beginning to be sent here, where | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
everyone will be treated under one roof. The building is the epitome of | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
purpose will, it is designed to minute details. There are no chords | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
on light switches or curtains and there are no shower curtains. In | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
mental health buildings, you have to pay attention to every detail. There | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
have been 15% cuts in recent years. Can the NHS justified this new | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
building? There has been a history of mental health buildings being | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
very institutional in nature and we are not functioning on modern | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
treatments. Privacy and dignity which people need to recover if you | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
have a serious mental health problem. What do those who use or | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
have worked in other wards think of this building? New changes can be | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
challenging but they will be improving staff morale. It is more | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
like a hotel than a hospital. It was dingy before. Admissions begin this | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
week. The Swindon Town striker player, | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
Nile Ranger, has gone on trial accused of rape. The 22`year`old, | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
who is appearing before Newcastle Crown Court, denies the charge. We | :06:25. | :06:33. | |
were having full report in our late bulletin. | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
An Oxford shop keeper has been hospitalised following an armed | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
robbery in Littlemore. Two men went into the newsagents on the Cowley | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
road at around 12:30pm yesterday lunchtime. One had a large knife, | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
the other was carrying a hammer. They fled on bicycles with the till. | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
The newsagent suffered injuries to his arm and knee. | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
The former Buckinghamshire A woman from Oxfordshire who's | :06:54. | :07:04. | |
become the first female Church of England priest to be made a bishop | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
says lessons about the role of women in the church can be learnt from | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
countries around the world. The Reverend Helen`Ann Hartley trained | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
at Rippon College at Cuddesdon. Because she can't become a Bishop in | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
England, she was ordained in New Zealand, where she's been living for | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
two years. There is a lot that can be learned from the fact that the | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
New Zealand Church values the contribution of women and men | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
equally. Equally, they roll of being Bishop in a church is not about | :07:31. | :07:41. | |
gender, it is based on God's call. The needy right for the role at the | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
right time. For some of us, it's been dominating | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
our TV screens for more than two weeks. The Winter Olympics in Russia | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
came to a close last night with a huge firework display. There's more | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
action to come, though, with the Paralympics due to start next month. | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
Some lucky school children in Buckinghamshire have been the first | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
in the UK to hold the Paralympic torch, which has travelled thousands | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
of miles from Sochi. Adina Campbell reports. | :08:07. | :08:07. | |
Brightly marking 16 days of Winter Olympic action. This was part of | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
last night's closing ceremony in Sochi. But there's still more to | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
come. The Paralympic Games are taking place here in just under two | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
weeks. Someone who knows all about competing at the highest level is | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
British powerlifter Chris Rattenbury, who's been visiting | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
children at this school in Great Missinden. I think I have one over | :08:24. | :08:37. | |
30 medals. I have been lucky to be British champion a number of times. | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
I have been quite lucky to achieve these great things. Chris was born | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
with spina bifida but is now one of the strongest men in the world. He | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
can lift 171 kilograms, the equivalent of around two | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
average`sized men. Hoping to inspire the next generation, he's come here | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
with a special surprise. This is the only Paralympic torch in the UK at | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
the moment and children at this school are the first to see and | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
touch it. It's 95cm long and weighs two kilos. The colour and design | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
represent the spirit and athleticism of Paralympians. Chris and the torch | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
are visiting dozens of schools in Buckinghamshire over the next few | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
weeks, hoping educate to young people about disability sports. It | :09:26. | :09:35. | |
wasn't a normal assembly. Everyone gets really excited when someone is | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
at the front. I'm really touched by his words and I think he is | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
amazing. The torch will be shown off at a special Paralympic event at | :09:44. | :09:55. | |
Stoke Mandeville this weekend. More winter sporting action next month. | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
More South the effectiveness of boarding was | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
inadequate. Still to come in this evening's | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
South Today: After their team's winning ways this weekend, Gosport | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
Borough fans prepare for Wembley. Admirers of nursing pioneer Florence | :10:06. | :10:16. | |
Nightingale have pledged to help repair her tomb after it was damaged | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
in the St Valentine's Day storms. A tree fell on the ten`foot`high | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
memorial at St Margaret's Church in East Wellow near Romsey. Briony | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
Leyland reports. For more than a hundred years, it has been a place | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
of pilgrimage for those inspired by Florence Nightingale. Since her | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
death in 1910 at the age of 90, fans from around the world have come to | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
this small parish to be member. These Dutch nurses paid tribute in | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
1930. Modern`day pilgrims are in for a shock. The family tombstone now | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
lies beneath this tangle of storm damage, after a huge lime tree came | :10:56. | :11:03. | |
down on Valentine's Day. The top part, a pinnacle with a cross, has | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
been knocked off altogether. Then, the central part of the tomb, which | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
has the initials on it, has been shifted off the pedestal. As we come | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
out of church, we have always been able to see her grave, and now we | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
can't. The annual service of thanksgiving for Florence | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
Nightingale takes place each May, and the hope is by then, her | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
tombstone can once again provide a focal point for remembering a hugely | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
influential nursing pioneer. An investigation by the BBC's Inside | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
Out programme has found that people living in Boscombe in Dorset fear | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
it's becoming the drugs capital of the South. A high number of | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
treatment centres for drug users is also being blamed for attracting | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
more dealers to the town. Residents say something needs to be done to | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
stop Boscombe's transient population ruining the seaside town's attempts | :11:51. | :12:00. | |
at regeneration. I want to come out of Boscombe because it is always in | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
your face or you have someone coming up asking if you know where to get | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
it from. It is always in your face, it is hard Tuesday claim. `` it is | :12:09. | :12:17. | |
hard to stay clean. Everywhere you know there will be someone there who | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
can sell you drugs. There are not just new users, there are new | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
dealers, everyone comes here from London because they know it is | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
easier to sell drugs here. That's Inside Out on here on BBC One | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
tonight at 7:30pm along with a remarkable story reuniting relatives | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
of the crew who lost their lives in 1918 after their ship was sunk by a | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
German U`boat off the Isle Of Wight. Onto sport now, and Tony's here. | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
Tony, wonderful celebrations for Gosport Borough fans on Saturday. | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
They're off to Wembley. Yes, it wasn't upset because if they got | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
into that tie Waterloo would have been the favourites because Gosport | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
or not favourites but it will be their first ever trip to the Wembley | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
arch. The club expect to take around 15,000 fans to the game against | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
Cambridge United. On Saturday, Gosport beat local rivals Havant and | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
Waterlooville in the FA Trophy semifinal second leg. Tim Sills put | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
Gosport ahead in first`half stoppage time, before scoring again in the | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
60th minute to seal victory. At full time, there were huge celebrations | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
at Privett Park. Gosport will now face Cambridge United at Wembley | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
next month. Let's have a listen to what everyone is saying. We may lack | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
a bit technically but we have team spirit and we work hard, and as far | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
as I am concerned you cannot replace that. For me personally, I live in | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
Wimborne and to take the town where I live to Wembley and now the town | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
where I was born in, I don't use cliches but it is a dream come true. | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
I think it is tremendous not only for the people of Gosport but for | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
the area. The ball brings a lot of people together and anything like | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
this is a great excitement and a buzz around the town `` football. It | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
is a great achievement for Gosport and I wish them all the best. It is | :14:16. | :14:22. | |
a good achievement for the town, especially to be playing in Wembley. | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
Thursday. Thursday. | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
death in 1910 at the age of 90, fans from around I | :14:32. | :14:31. | |
death in 1910 at the age of 90, fans From non`league to the Football | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
League, and the key moments from the weekend. Swindon's hope of closing | :14:34. | :14:45. | |
the gap faced another setback at Leyton Orient. They conceded two | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
spot kicks either side of half`time, both of which two are dispatched by | :14:49. | :14:59. | |
Lloyd James. Seven points now separate town from | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
the top seven in league one. MK Dons also tasted defeat on the | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
road despite Carl Roberts and insisting his team deserved better | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
at Bradford. A goalkeeping howler from the goalkeeper allowed them to | :15:11. | :15:21. | |
the hammer blow. Oxford United were left wondering | :15:22. | :15:23. | |
what might have been. They had a lead until stoppage time. They | :15:24. | :15:32. | |
slipped to a more ruthless team. Pompey are | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
seven points clear of danger that they will want to bounce back | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
against Accrington. Good luck to Brighton for their | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
replay against Hull. The manager said his site deserve more than | :15:45. | :15:56. | |
defeat on Saturday. . Saints, who took the lead through Yoshida at | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
Upton Park, lost 3`1 to slip to ninth in the table. Matt Jarvis was | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
ruled onside for the equaliser. Carlton Cole scored the second | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
shortly after his first effort hit a post. Kevin Nolan scored the third | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
19 minutes from time. Jump Racing's star horse Sprinter | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
Sacre is to miss next month's Cheltenham Festival. Lambourne | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
trainer Nicky Henderson says the horse, which pulled up in his most | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
recent race with a suspected irregular heartbeat, was "missing | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
that 10%" in a work`out yesterday, and would now be rested ahead of a | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
planned return next season. Sprinter Sacre won the Champion Chase last | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
year. It was a good weekend for the Reading Rockets, who won the | :16:34. | :16:35. | |
National Basketball Trophy in London on Saturday. Captained by Danny | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
Carter, the Rockets beat Manchester Magic by 88`71 in the final. Gabrial | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
Diaz`Morera from the Berkshire team also picked up the Most Valuable | :16:44. | :16:45. | |
Player award. There was a great start to the World | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
Superbikes season for the Dorset`based Crescent Suzuki team. | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
With two high`profile new signings, the mood was positive for the new | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
season. Eugene Laverty backed that up by winning the opening race of | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
the year at Philip Island in Australia. Unfortunately, Laverty | :16:59. | :17:00. | |
suffered mechanical failure in the second race of the weekend, with | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
team`mate Alex Lowes also out of luck. Team GB brings home four | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
medals and some positive hopes for the future from the Winter Olympics. | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
Snowboarder Billy Morgan will join us soon to tell us about his | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
experience, and as this Instagram video shows us, Morgan, who was once | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
a gymnast made an acrobatic entrance to the Olympic stadium for the | :17:21. | :17:29. | |
closing ceremony yesterday. Being a good few weeks watching the | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
winter Olympics here. Tomorrow we have some football to look ahead to, | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
also some gymnastics and we will meet a young gymnast who has done | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
great things in a short space of time. | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
Thank you, Tony. Tonight we begin a special series of features, looking | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
at the part the south played in World War One, as we commemorate the | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
centenary of the outbreak of that war. In partnership with Imperial | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
War Museums, we'll delve into the archives and discover some of the | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
little`known stories of the part the south played in the Great War. | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
Winston Churchill ordered a factory to be built in Dorset to make the | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
explosive material cordite, which would fire the Navy's big guns. But | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
German U`boat attacks in the Atlantic led to a shortage of a | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
vital ingredient which was being imported from America. So the | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
government turned to school children to help solve the problem using | :18:17. | :18:24. | |
these ` conkers. Simple device. The BBC's former chief news | :18:25. | :18:26. | |
correspondent Kate Adie, who's reported from numerous war zones | :18:27. | :18:27. | |
over the years, takes up the story. The Royal Navy was the most powerful | :18:28. | :18:51. | |
in the world in 1914. This gun fired the first shot in World War I. It is | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
now in the Royal Navy's National Museum in Portsmouth. The need for | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
munitions for this gun and the millions of others led to enormous | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
demands on the country and a remote area of Holton Heath in Dorset | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
became home to the Royal Navy's cordite factory. Commissioned by | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
Winston Churchill, then Lord of the admiral C, Fulton Heath was the | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
ideal location, isolated, near water, a railway and a local or `` a | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
little workforce. Today it is an industrial park but it original | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
purpose is apparent. John England work here in the 1950s. This is the | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
main sub oratory and these buildings were restoring chemicals which were | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
to be kept out of the laboratory. Cordite is a mixture of nitro | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
glycerin and gun cotton, is drawn in strands like spaghetti. 2000 who | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
work the factory, around half were women. A lot of ladies got called | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
the glamour puffers because there were so many on the trains. The girl | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
to work here were given books about conditions of work. What sort of | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
things strike you about them? No smoking, no lighters, and you have | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
to watch out for chemicals. This could be very dangerous. Yes, they | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
were laying cordite on benches and then they would cut into lengths, | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
still hot. Does it have any affect on them? Yes, nitro glycerin will | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
absorb into the skin and that will give you headaches. The factory had | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
its own hospital, a reservoir and a power station. 14 miles of railway | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
sidings transported materials and delivered the finished cordite to | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
Rockley peer. In 1917 a problem threatened production. A crucial | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
ingredient, acetone, was imported from America, but naval blockades or | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
stopping supplies. A Jewish chemist came forward with the answer, a new | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
process to produce acetone in a brew. These are fermentation vats | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
which would produce the chemical you want. Anything with starch would do | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
the job. He was working with maize. He used to try potatoes but people | :21:21. | :21:28. | |
wanted to eat those. What was available in 1917 was acorns and | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
even conquerors were used. `` conquerors. Who were the experts at | :21:35. | :21:43. | |
producing conquerors? Children. Here are the children are learning about | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
their school's connection to World War I and the proof of that | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
connection is here in the logbook, dated the 9th of October 1917. In | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
response to the suggestion from the Dorset educational committee, many | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
of the older children have volunteered to collect acorns and | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
horse chestnuts for the cordite factory. What happened to the | :22:06. | :22:13. | |
Cambois later? He became first president of the state of Israel. | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
When it came out of the factory, cordite would go out into the | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
channel. The cordite went by barge to the naval vessel at Gosport. This | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
is now the Museum of naval firepower where you can see what cordite looks | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
like. Children have come here today and it will take a lead of the | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
imagination to connect all this with the horse chestnuts collected by | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
their school in 1917. Much can be learned in the museum but to see one | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
of the exhibits they have to go outside. Guns were fired | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
relentlessly throughout World War I online at say. People in the South | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
of England sometimes heard the thunderous barrage over in Northern | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
France. Luckily such sounds are rarer today, but I think this might | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
be the first time some of these children have heard a gunfire in | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
front of them. Black powder subjects for cordite here, for safety | :23:16. | :23:30. | |
reasons. I'm going to have to drop box that to my dad. This was one | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
tiny element of a war but it shows how war reached into everyone's | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
lives, scientists, sailors, women who made contributions, all made | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
their contribution, even children collecting vital horse chestnuts for | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
cordite. There are hundreds of stories in the World War One at Home | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
series being broadcast on BBC local radio over the coming months. If you | :23:58. | :24:05. | |

Oxford scientists and a crucial invention helped keep men safer on | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
the front line. The fascinating story of a man who | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
undoubtedly helped to save the lives of thousands of troops, and the | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
extraordinary way he went about it. Radio Oxford also has that story | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
tomorrow at 8:15am, and again at 10:40am. And we'll have the story on | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
South Today tomorrow night. Some good news, it has been milder | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
today. It has been the warmest day of the | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
year so far today, 14 Celsius in Surrey, 15 Celsius in parts of such | :24:47. | :24:56. | |
`` in a Berkshire. `` imparts Berkshire. Ali Karaca captured the | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
sunrise in Worthing this morning. Robert Stidworthy took this photo of | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
a robin looking to the skies in Mayflower Park in Southampton. | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
And Ginny Boxall captured these chickens in the sunshine in Alton. | :25:07. | :25:07. | |
chickens in the We had some sunshine but tonight we | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
will see rain moving from the Atlantic and that could become heavy | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
in places. In terms of rainfall amounts we are looking at a quarter | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
of an inch of rain from this feature which removes east overnight, so | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
some heavy bursts over in their but it will clear in most pass by Dylan | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
with showers to follow, and temperatures stay mild overnight | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
with loads of five or six Celsius, although with that rain the winds | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
will be brisk from the site or Southwest. For most part tomorrow it | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
will be a dry start but we will see showers develop and those showers | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
could be heavy with perhaps hail and thunder. There will be some sunny | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
spells and temperatures reach a high of 10 Celsius, 11 in some parts. Not | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
as warm as today, could with that south`westerly wind. Jobbers | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
continue tomorrow night with that risk of hail and thunder, gradually | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
clearing in the early hours of choose date, Wednesday morning, so | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
we are looking at clear skies to start Wednesday with temperatures | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
falling to around three Celsius. For Northern parts a risk in the | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
countryside of frost first thing but milder conditions on the south | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
coast, so a dry start to Wednesday which will bleep be the best day of | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
the week in terms of sunshine. Lots of sunshine in the east but we may | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
see showers further west, although isolated and you will be unlucky to | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
catch on, what more rain moves in on Wednesday night and stays with us | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
through the early hours of Thursday morning. Rainfall amounts from this | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
band of rain up to a quarter of an inch, so not much of not helping the | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
flooding. Showers tomorrow could be heavy with hail and thunder, more | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
likely in the morning, and then Wednesday the most sunny day, | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
lighter winds with a mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
on Thursday and Friday. We need a week of blue skies. Roll | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
on spring. That is all from us. We will be back with a summary at 8pm | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
and the late news at 10:25pm. Good night. | :27:22. | :27:26. |
