Hello, and welcome to South Today all from the BBC News at | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Hello, and welcome to South Today from Oxford. In tonight's programme: | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
?800 million out of pocket. New research claims that's how much | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
recent flooding has cost sm`ll businesses. | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
Also coming up: Jailed for lore than 22 years. | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
A group of men are sentenced after raiding a jeweller's shop in | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Marlborough, which ended in a police chase near the Great Western | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
Hospital. More misery for people in | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
Buckinghamshire because of this The waste incinerator being devdloped | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
near Calvert is now thought to be causing road problems. | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
And later on: A big weekend for netball fans. Thousands are set to | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
make their way to the Olymphc Park, to watch Guildford`based Surrey | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
Storm, in one of the biggest domestic games of the season. | :00:48. | :00:58. | |
Good evening. The recent flooding's thought to | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
have cost small businesses lore than ?800 million. That's accordhng to | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
new research which suggests each business has lost, on average, | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
?1,500. It comes as some business owners say missing the small print | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
in their insurance contracts has resulted in them being out of | :01:16. | :01:24. | |
pocket. Here's Charlotte St`cey Julian has been running his business | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
for a decade. They had to shut for several days this year becatse the | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
road they were on was flooddd. When he claimed for compensation, he | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
expected to get about ?2000. Instead, he got ?168. | :01:39. | :01:47. | |
Because the small print was on a cloud, whatever, we were not aware | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
that the policy had changed. So we ended up having to settle the | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
claim, in my opinion, unreasonably. Plenty of businesses are struggling | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
with their insurance. Insurance is a very context | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
business. If you haven't got the right cover for loss of trading | :02:09. | :02:17. | |
loss of materials, stock, d`ta, then you can find yourself in a great | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
deal of problems. New figures show that, for | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
businesses in the south east at risk of flooding, nearly a quartdr of | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
them had fewer customers, and a drop in demand for products. The cost of | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
the recent floods has been lore than ?5,000 to nearly 10% of bushnesses. | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
12% didn't have insurance which covered flooding, because the price | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
was too high. It is important a business | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
understands exactly what it is covered for. There is an onts on the | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
insurance company to make stre customers understand what they are | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
covered for, and terms and conditions are in plain English | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
Experts say the right insur`nce is critical for keeping businesses | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
going. Julian says he feels let down but has now found another insurer | :03:03. | :03:03. | |
with the cover he wants. A former anti`fraud chief for Oxfam | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
has admitted scamming the charity of nearly ?65,000. Edward McKenzie | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
Green, from Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire, pleaded guilty at the | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Old Bailey. He admitted makhng payments from Oxfam to ficthonal | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
firms, between February and December 2011. He'll be sentenced in May | :03:21. | :03:31. | |
For someone to commit fraud and used that money for their own gahn is | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
clearly not acceptable. The actions of Edward McKenzie Green were | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
brought to light by Oxfam's can t afford measures, and we worked | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
tirelessly to make sure mondy donated to Oxfam is not lost through | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
the actions of rogue employdes like Mr McKenzie Green. We will work to | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
recover the money taken. Five men have been sentenced to a | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
total of more than 22 years in jail, for raiding a family jewelldr's shop | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
in Marlborough. Deacons was targeted in September last year. The raid | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
ended in a dramatic high`spded chase by police, near the Great Wdstern | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
Hospital. Andrew Plant has been at Swindon Crown Court for us. | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
Deacons if you minutes before opening its doors, and a Tudsday | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
morning last year. The thred female staff are browsing the Internet | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
completely unprepared for what is about to happen. The women tried to | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
take cover behind the countdr. One is dried away and forced to open a | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
safe containing diamond rings downstairs. The men smash up the | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
glass cabinets, scooping thd jewellery insight into bags. Less | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
than two minutes after it started, they are gone, leaving the women | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
terrified, inside. The gang of five had driven down from Coventry and | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
waited outside for the shop to open. 33`year`old Marcus Coen was first | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
insight, joined by his friend Paul Dallimore, Linton Summerfield and | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
Christian Colson who was just 1 at the time, using his crowbar to smash | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
the cases. This was no random raid, the gang had researched what they | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
were doing and had heard about the diamond rings on display in the | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
glass cabinets. The attack lasted if you minutes, they left with their | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
rucksacks staffed with ?300,000 of expensive jewellery. Waiting outside | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
was Leroy Green in a getawax car. His erratic fast driving fldeing the | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
scene attracted police attention. They sped along the road towards | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
Oxford but he crashed the gdtaway vehicle. The gang abandoned the car | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
and ran. From then, they hid in the hospital grounds, we quicklx | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
contained that using a police helicopter and arrested thrde | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
there. All of the stolen jewels were found in the car. Today, thd gang | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
were jailed for between four and five years. The women in thd shop | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
say they are still terrified by what happened, six months after their | :06:11. | :06:11. | |
ordeal. Police in Oxford, searching for a | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
woman who went missing from the city yesterday, say they've found a body | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
in Bagley Wood. 28`year`old Joanna Stannard was last seen leavhng her | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
home in Bullingdon Road, in a distressed state. The body has yet | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
to be formally identified, but officers say the death is not being | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
treated as suspicious. It's already proved to be a highly | :06:29. | :06:37. | |
controversial development. People living near a waste inciner`tor | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
being built in Buckinghamshhre, say they're facing even more misery | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
They claim, as building work continues on the waste to energy | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
plant near Calvert, road closures and diversions are making their | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
commute to work longer, and more expensive. Jeremy Stern has more. | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
Every morning, Maggie Campbdll`Keith leaves her home near Edgcott in | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
Buckinghamshire, on her way to work in Aylesbury. For years, her route | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
has been the same. A ten`mile drive along country lanes, towards the | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
A41. But, since January, thd Quainton to Edgcott Road has been | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
closed. She's had to go the long way round, via Grendon Underwood, and on | :07:14. | :07:21. | |
to the A41 sooner. I travel at rush hour, I get caught | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
up in slower traffic. Because the distance is further, it takds me | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
double that time anyway. Soletimes longer. If I get caught in rush hour | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
traffic. How frustrating has it been? Incredibly frustrating. The | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
road's been closed as part of the building of a new waste inchnerator | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
at Calvert. Maggie and other villagers want compensation for | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
their extra travel costs. The construction work is behng done | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
by a Spanish company called FCC They told us they sympathisd with | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
Maggie and the other villagdrs, but are not obliged to pay compdnsation. | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
What about Buckinghamshire County Council? It was the authority that | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
wanted the incinerator built, despite some local opposition. The | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
council has no intention of paying out. | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
I fully sympathise. But, unfortunately, we do not give | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
compensation, we cannot pay compensation. Why not? We h`ve | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
various rules we have to work towards and unfortunately | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
compensation doesn't come into that. One has to also think it will be the | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
taxpayer paying. The council says those same | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
taxpayers stand to gain frol the incinerator, which is due to open in | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
2016. It estimates every hotsehold should save ?29 a year, as the | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
county becomes more waste efficient. Milton Keynes Hospital has been told | :08:43. | :08:51. | |
to apologise to a patient it banned, after she made too many complaints. | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
The 29`year`old, who has an ongoing medical condition, complaindd in 35 | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
emails and 56 phone calls whthin two months last year. The health service | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
ombudsman said the ban was unreasonable. The hospital says it's | :09:03. | :09:03. | |
learnt from what's happened. Apprentices from our region have | :09:04. | :09:12. | |
been meeting members of the government today, at Downing Street. | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
Young people who've chosen to learn while being paid, instead of going | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
to university, came together with businesses at the event, hosted by | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
the Prime Minister, as part of National Apprenticeship Week. | :09:23. | :09:33. | |
It is mainly getting paid to work and learn. Doing a job for four | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
years and learning through people, getting a pay rise every ye`r. | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
Moving around. It is a lot better than a desk job for me personally. | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
It's costing the country billions. Now, an Oxfordshire charity which is | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
trying to help stop childhood obesity is being handed tens of | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
thousands of pounds, after winning a top award. HENRY teaches people | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
across the UK to live healthier lifestyles in the hope of rdducing | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
the number of overweight or obese children. Tom Turrell reports. | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
Working up an appetite, two`year`old Elsie and her one`year`old sister | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
Chloe from Oxford. The pair, like all others their age, are more | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
likely to be overweight or obese than their parents or grandparents | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
ever were. That's why, whilst they were still young, their mum decided | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
to get help from a local expert The advice given, for the whole family, | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
proved invaluable. I devised a four`week eating plan. | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
In that time I have lost two stone in weight. The children are a lot | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
happier, healthier, and I al as well. Lisa was right to be | :10:41. | :10:49. | |
concerned. One in 55`year`olds are overweight or obese. 80% of those | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
who are obese are still obese when they reach adulthood. That hs a | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
problem costing the NHS ?5 billion every year. | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
The person who advised Lisa was trained by Eynesham`based children's | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
obesity charity HENRY. Now, that charity is being recognised with a | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
national award, and handed ?30, 00 to help with the work it carries out | :11:08. | :11:18. | |
across the country. It is really important that | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
organisations like HENRY ard here to help prevent children from being | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
affected by obesity, which hs a very difficult thing to live with fun for | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
young children. They can be subject to teasing and bullying at school. | :11:32. | :11:39. | |
They are very likely to go on and have weight problems in futtre | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
life. The accolade is a small victory for | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
what is a big and growing problem. But, for Oxfordshire`based HENRY, | :11:46. | :11:47. | |
they'll be hoping more families follow Lisa's example, and take the | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
issue of healthy living serhously. to be willing to do this. Thank you. | :11:50. | :12:06. | |
Stay with us. Still to come: Show casing netball as the teams and | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
fans prepare for the Super League match this weekend. A builddr has | :12:11. | :12:19. | |
described the moment his frhend was crushed to death by a forklhft truck | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
in Newbury. Read Crown Court heard that father of two, Mark Williams | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
had complained to managers the day before he died that the are` he was | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
working in was too small to manoeuvre the vehicle properly. Ben | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
Moore is in our Reading studio. We heard from an eyewitness today then? | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
Yes, we heard from a long thme colleague of Mark Williams. He and | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
Mr Williams were driving tele handlers, that's a forklift truck | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
with a long extendible arm. They worked on the Parkway site. They | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
worked for a roofing companx. Both companies are on trial for breach of | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
health and safety laws. The witness described the site as crowddd with | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
lots of other contractors and equipment and he noted that meant it | :13:12. | :13:19. | |
was hard to negotiate. He s`id Mr Williams to to make lots of turns to | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
get pal lets up to the roof area. He said that Mr Williams had told him | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
he had gone mad about these conditions and raised them `t a site | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
meeting the day before he dhed. Mr Williams mother and sister were | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
visibly upset as the witness described how he saw one palate | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
start to lump away and the tele handler toppled. He said Mr Williams | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
tried to leap from the cab, but he was caught underneath it and he died | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
at the scene. The defence also had their day in court today. In | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
cross`examination they said that the emis a emphasis and ethos of the | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
site was safety. The case continues. Ben, thank you. | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
Although the rain has stoppdd, farmers across the south ard facing | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
up to the future and the next crop with ground saturated by water, many | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
are looking at how to prevent their fields flooding next time. Some are | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
angry at the amount of environmental red tape stopping them from carrying | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
out drainage work. This may look like a lake ftll of | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
water, but last year, it was a field full of cows. There is physhcally no | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
facility to drain this water off in a hurry. For dairy farmer, @ndy it | :14:36. | :14:43. | |
is not a pretty sight. Andy says he was willing to pay thousands to get | :14:44. | :14:53. | |
the silt taken from the Rivdr Frome. The fact is when you have | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
obstructions in the river, the water can't flow down it as effichently as | :14:57. | :14:58. | |
it should. I should have bedn encouraged to do that. Not told by | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
the Environment Agency that I couldn't do it. He feels he has | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
become a victim of bureaucr`cy. We live on the whichever. We f`rm on | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
the river. We have to earn our living out of the river. Wh`t they | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
do controls my business, and I'm not allowed to help myself to gdt it | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
back on target. Simon's farl was a victim of the summer floods of 012. | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
It ruined most of his crops. He says when he tried to clear ditches and | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
depry from the river, it took months to get permission and he allost got | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
prosecuted. We have remove dead trees that are over, and under the | :15:41. | :15:56. | |
channel. We moved the odd b`nk. As the water levels start to stbside, | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
finding a long`term solution to the aftermath of the flooding h`s only | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
just begun. The Environment Agency says dredging is not always the best | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
way forward and along with Natural England, they say they are committed | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
to worging with those `` working with those affected. #3 Tonx is here | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
with the sport and all eyes on Wembley last night. Two of the | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
Southampton players got the chance to impress Roy Hodgson. He said | :16:27. | :16:55. | |
"Can I have a word?" He said I am going to give you an opporttnity to | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
come on. It will be at half`time or ten minutes into the second half. As | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
soon as he told me, the nerves did sta rt to kick `` start to kick in | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
and I was excited to be plaxing for my country. It was such a proud | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
moment, not just for me, but for my family as well that were thdre | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
watching and it is an honour. Well done Luke Shaw. | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
Netball's biggest match is taking place this weekend. 3,000 f`ns will | :17:25. | :17:37. | |
watch the match. The Super League match is the highlight of the | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
sport's calendar. Saturday, we are going to play in | :17:42. | :17:57. | |
front of 3,000 people. The Lavericks got beaten on Saturday and they are | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
going to be up for this. Totgh words from their coach before the biggest | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
domestic netball match playdd in this country. Surrey Storm take on | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
Hertfordshire Mavericks on Saturday in front of a record crowd `t the | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
Olympic Park in London. It hs the mid`way point in netball's Super | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
League season which is building a stronger following. The sport has | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
been growing over the years. It was all about the brand and building up | :18:27. | :18:35. | |
the fanbase. It has taken a while, but it is something we all bought | :18:36. | :18:43. | |
into it. Every schoolgirl plays netb`ll so | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
they have all had some tastd of it at some point. The biggest surprise | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
for people is when they comd to some of our games is the pace and | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
physicality of the games. It is like nothing they remember from school. | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
3,000 tickets have been sold for Netball London Live. Surrey Storm | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
hope their performance will inspire other women to take part in netball | :19:07. | :19:08. | |
and sport. It should be a good weekend. | :19:09. | :19:25. | |
Basingstoke Bison beat Milton Keynes last night. | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
Losing a loved one can be devastating, but the story of one | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
woman from Dorset shows that celebrating a life can be an | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
uplifting experience. Rachel was due to go to Paris for her mum's 60th | :19:42. | :19:56. | |
birthday. Paris was a city H wanted to visit for many years. I really, | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
really wanted to go with my mother, but unfortunately if neb 2002, she | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
passed away suddenly from bow well cancer `` bowel cancer. It was very | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
sudden. A complete shock for the family and we couldn't go on the | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
trip to Paris. It was a verx dark time for you? It was. It was | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
confusing and I didn't know what to do with my grief. I didn't know how | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
to make myself feel any better. But you went anyway to Paris. You | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
decided to go. You had a pl`n. Tell me about the plan. Right, I mean, | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
are I found the first very difficult and the milestones of the ydar were | :20:42. | :20:50. | |
getting tough and I had my lum's 60th birthday. I decided to scatter | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
60 postcards around the citx of Love. I went with a group of friends | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
and we did that all over thd city. Where did you leave them? Wd left | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
them all over the place. In the Metro. On postcard racks whhch I | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
found fun. You had written on the back of them. Tell us what xou had | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
written? I had written a message and it said I'm Rachel from London and | :21:17. | :21:24. | |
I'm here to celebrate my mother s 60th and popped my E `mail `ddress | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
on the bottom if the hope that somebody would get back to le. What | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
did you want them to do? To say hello. Or did you want more than | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
that? I was reaching out re`lly I think I was finding it diffhcult to | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
talk about mum freely that xear with death being quite a taboo. H just | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
thought I would reach out and see if anybody got back to me and tell me | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
where they found it. Did yot go was it random or did you go for | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
specific, iconic places as well Yeah. I mean, I left one underneath | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
the Eiffel Tower. I passed ht to some girls really. I gave it to them | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
almost to carry on the misshon. I didn't know who they were. They were | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
strangers. This was random though. We felt like we just wanted to do it | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
when it felt right rather than too much planning. When did you get a | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
reply? How surprised were you? Mm, it was incredible. It was three days | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
after I return from Paris. So we were keen to keep the buzz going | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
from the weekend. So my housemate and I went for a night out `nd we | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
alarmed quite a few passengdrs on the over ground back to our house as | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
I saw an e`mail saying Paris postcard and we screamed. It was a | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
funny reaction from people `round us. I couldn't believe it h`d worked | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
and someone got back to me. It led to a blog. You do a blog and you | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
incorporate some of those. Give us an idea of some of the things people | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
were saying to you? They were replying to a they were all really, | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
really, really lovely about the tributes. They said that thdy could | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
relate to my words. It showdd me that, you know, losing someone that | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
you love is universal, we all go through it and they were just | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
touched by the message and they wanted to reach out and get back in | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
touch with me and they told me, you know, their stories and who they | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
were and where they were from and from there I have kept in touch with | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
most of them. Most unusual one or the one that stood out for xou? I | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
grew up dancing when I was xounger and my mum passed that down to me, | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
she was creative and loved to dance. New York City ballet dancer one | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
found one and took it back to New York with her and so when she | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
contacted me to say she had taken the postcard back and left ht there, | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
I then followed it up and flew out to New York and left 60 there as | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
well. So you have done it in Paris and you moved to New York and did it | :23:59. | :24:05. | |
there. What has it helped you come to terms with? What have yot learned | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
from this fabulous adventurd that started in a dark place? It has been | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
a beautiful distraction. It helped me channel me to do something that I | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
love. I also know that it is something my mum would adord. If she | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
heard about this story, I know she would be the first one to phck up | :24:23. | :24:31. | |
the phone to Who Owns Me tell me what happened. I feel that H'm | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
getting to do everything I want to do, but keeping her memory `live | :24:37. | :24:43. | |
while I'm doing it. It is a wonderful uplifting story. Rachel is | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
launching her book as we spdak. It is called 60 Postcards. The New York | :24:50. | :25:01. | |
ballerina is planning to flx over and take part. | :25:02. | :25:18. | |
We had some cloudy skies today, but brightness by the end of thd day | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
which is the good news and things will tend to improve as we head | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
towards the weekend with high pressure building. Cloudy overnight | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
tonight. We will see rain creep in for western areas during thd second | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
part of the night. Mainly lhght to moderate rainfall and staying mild | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
with a low of seven to eight Celsius. It is an ease/west divide. | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
There will be bands showers or longer spells of rain moving their | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
way eastwards through the morning, but they will clear quickly so | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
behind it, an improving picture By the afternoon we will see lots of | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
sunshine and mild in the sun. Temperatures three Celsius `bove the | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
seasonal average. Breezy along the South Coast, but the winds light | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
inland. Tomorrow night, we will have clear sighs. That will enable | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
temperatures to fall away r`pidly, but welds a band of cloud, list and | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
fog creep in from the English Channel with outbreaks of r`in for | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
southern coastal counties. There is the chance we could have a touch of | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
frost tomorrow night, particularly for parts of Oxfordshire whdre we | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
have had the clear spells for the start of the night. Along the South | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
Coast, milder air will push in with lows of five to seven Celsits. High | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
pressure continues to build in from the south`west. That means we are | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
going to see settled condithons a cloudy start to Saturday, btt an | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
improving picture. Highs of 14 Celsius, possibly 15 Celsius, the | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
highest of the temperatures will be through parts of Sussex and Surrey. | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
So lovely spring`like conditions through the weekend. Sunday starts | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
off on a positive note, but clouding over later in the day. Now, high | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
pressure, what does that me`n? It will be dry. I can't promisd lots of | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
sunshine, but there will be drier conditions than the last few months | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
thankfully. Frosty nights as well. A cold start to each day, but lots of | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
sunshine on offer and staying settled bar the rain tomorrow | :27:15. | :27:15. | |
morning. Now, be with us tomorrow if you can. | :27:16. | :27:27. | |
We will be discovering why patients in intensive care as well as those | :27:28. | :27:33. | |
coming out of acomas are behng encouraged to get on their bikes | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
even before they have left hospital. Thanks for watching. | :27:38. | :27:39. | |
Good night. | :27:40. | :27:43. |
