Hello and welcome to South Today BBC News at Six so it's goodbye | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hello and welcome to South Today from Oxford. In tonight's programme: | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Claims the system for assessing sickness benefit isn't workhng. | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
One man told by the Governmdnt he was fit for work tells us how he | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
successfully challenged the decision. | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
Also tonight: An online campaign by students to tackle racism goes | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
viral, with nearly a million visits to the site from 200 countrhes. Find | :00:22. | :00:33. | |
out what I am doing later. And later on: We preview thd next | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
instalment of Sea City ` thd documentary series about life around | :00:39. | :00:39. | |
Southampton docks. Good evening. A welfare charity in | :00:40. | :00:51. | |
Oxfordshire has described the government's assessments of sickness | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
benefit claimants as "extrelely poor". The Oxfordshire Welf`re | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
Rights organisation says thd wrong decisions are made over whether to | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
award people Employment and Support Allowance because not enough | :01:01. | :01:12. | |
evidence is gathered. The Government insists the system works. Tom | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
Turrell reports. Chronic fatigue syndrome can make | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
even everyday household chores difficult. Sean Wilson from Swindon | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
used to be a financial advisor, until four years ago when hhs | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
condition got the better of him But after being assessed for sickness | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
benefits, the Department for Work and Pensions told him he was fit for | :01:30. | :01:39. | |
work. You try and arrange a treatment plan, then you ard told | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
that basically you are fit for work and you may have struggled on for | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
months and years, there is ` sense of disbelief. You go into the | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
assessment with the best of intentions. | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
And Sean's not alone. In our area almost one in five people who apply | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
for Employment and Support @llowance are told they're fit for work. | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
Between October 2010 and March 014 that amounted to 2,750 people out of | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
around 15,000 applicants. `` March 2013. | :02:10. | :02:18. | |
In the end Sean managed to get the decision overturned, but a welfare | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
rights charity is describing the Government's assessment progress `` | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
process is extremely poor. Hts proof? The fact, it says, it wins | :02:29. | :02:37. | |
90% of appeals. This system has been a problem since 1976. `` 1986. No | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
Government has faced up to the problems in the system. | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
But the Government says overall its assessments work. It points to the | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
fact that nationally only 14% of tribunal cases are won, and that's | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
often because claimants comd forward with additional evidence at the | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
hearing. But when lives are being affected so much by just ond | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
decision, people on both sides of this argument will agree th`t | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
decision needs to be right. Students and members of staff at | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
Oxford's New College have p`id tribute to the veteran Labotr | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
politician Tony Benn, who h`s died at the age of 88. He studied at the | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
college before becoming the head of Oxford Union in 1947. Tony Benn led | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
2009's Levellers Day in the city, and is seen here in the par`de. The | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
warden of New College led tributes to a man who was a writer, speaker | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
and campaigner. He had an enormous impact on the national life, and I | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
think all of the fellows and students are acutely aware he had | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
been a student here. He rettrned frequently, and in 2005 he was | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
elected honorary fellow, whhch is the highest honour the colldge | :03:50. | :04:00. | |
campus do one of its graduates. `` can bestow on one of its | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
graduates. The Henley town councillor who | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
claimed the recent flooding was caused by God, angry about gay | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
marriage, is to be formally investigated. | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
12 people have formally complained to South Oxfordshire District | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
Council over comments made by David Silvester, who was expelled by his | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
party UKIP. An independent investigator will now consider | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
whether he breached the council s code of conduct. Around 25,000 | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
people have signed a petition calling for him to stand down from | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
his post. A special ceremony will be held in | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
Didcot this weekend at the churchyard where the body of | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
teenager Jayden Parkinson w`s found. The 17`year`old student was | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
discovered in a grave at All Saints' Church in the town last Decdmber. | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
This Sunday the Bishop of Dorchester will lead special prayers and a | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
blessing at the churchyard. Jayden's former boyfriend Ben Blakeldy has | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
been charged with her murder. An online campaign by black and | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
ethnic minority students from Oxford University has gone viral. Tens of | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
thousands of people have logged onto the I, Too, Am Oxford social media | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
page since it launched just a few days ago. Inspired by a simhlar | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
project at Harvard University, dozens of students have uploaded | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
pictures of themselves holdhng white boards with some of the prejudiced | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
comments they've had while `t the university. Charlotte Stacex went to | :05:02. | :05:11. | |
meet them. These are just some of the comments | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
these students have faced at Oxford University. They are putting | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
pictures like this online to show others what is happening and | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
challenge some of the prejudice Apparently because I want to combat | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
anti`ethnic minority represdntation, are am an anti`capitalist. | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
Yesterday more students werd eager to have their voice heard, dven the | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
organisers were surprised bx some of the stories. Some of the ex`mples | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
were completely shocking. I had one maths student as if he was the | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
janitor. Another girl saying, I thought Jamaicans did not study And | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
just really extreme ones. Btt what came through is the fact th`t the | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
overwhelming number of them. `` is the overwhelming number of them | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
20% of all Oxford students `re from black or ethnic minority | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
backgrounds. More than ever before. We are looking to diversify our | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
intake, and welcome those who have the potential to study at Oxford. We | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
recruit regardless of back ground. We welcome diversity. `` background. | :06:20. | :06:28. | |
But now an eternity group `` alternative group has emergdd. We | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
are worried that prospectivd applicants will think Oxford is a | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
place where if you are an ethnic minority, you are abused or made to | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
feel inferior, which is not the case. They are all taking phctures | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
of themselves with positive step is, and say Oxford is a great place | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
whatever background. Meanwhile, the bit `` the honourable | :06:49. | :06:56. | |
gentleman three site has had more than 1 million hits. `` the I, Too, | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
Am Oxford site. They are calling for institutional change. | :07:01. | :07:09. | |
The new Formula One season starts in Australia this weekend, and Milton | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
Keynes team Red Bull ` the reigning champions ` are looking to continue | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
where they left off. It's bden a difficult winter of testing for Red | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
Bull who, along with the other teams, are working to new | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
regulations within the sport. The engines are now smaller and greener. | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
I think we have got a very fast car, the drivers have commented how good | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
the Chasse feels. We have got to sort out some of those driv`bility | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
issues. `` chassis. Once we have got on top of that, we will start to see | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
the potential of the car. Tonight the Ashmolean Museul will be | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
hosting Oxford Brookes Univdrsity for its 150th anniversary. @ special | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
event called Wisdom, Wonders and Widgets is taking place as part of | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
the celebrations. It'll include a collection of live performances and | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
research showcases. The event will explore the wealth and expertise of | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
the university. Our reporter Jeremy Stern is there, and has just sent | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
this. The Ashmolean Museum is most famous | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
for ancient history, but thdre is no doubt that the star attracthon today | :08:14. | :08:24. | |
is very much from the futurd world. This is Artie the robot. Sax hello, | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
you are on television! Couldn't shut him up earlier. Nigel is from the | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
University. Tell me more about him. He is a robot, designed to hnteract | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
with people, to entertain them, and to get them working with thd | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
technology. He is a lot of fun, but is he not | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
just a bit of a gimmick? No, he is a serious bit of robotic kit. He has | :08:52. | :09:00. | |
22 joints, a depth camera, `nd a normal camera in his head. | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
So one day you could have hhm doing the washing and cleaning in your | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
house. I hope so. I have a puestion for Artie. Artie, do think xou would | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
make a good television reporter Could I do your job? All yot do is | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
chat all day. I think I can do that! Where do I start. You do not know | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
the half of it! Artie is here as part of a celebration for the | :09:29. | :09:37. | |
University's 150th annivers`ry. I will also be a series of live events | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
at the Ashmolean. The next one is in June. I am off to find Artid's off | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
switch! That's all from me for the loment. | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
I'll have the headlines at 8:00 and a full bulletin at 10:25. Now more | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
of today's stories, with Sally Taylor. | :09:57. | :10:18. | |
angry and humiliated after being told not to breast`feed her | :10:19. | :10:19. | |
ten`week`old daughter at a Portsmouth attraction. A melber of | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
staff at the Historic Docky`rds told the young mum that it was not | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
appropriate. The museum has now apologised. Frankie Peck went to | :10:30. | :10:38. | |
meet her. Heather von like many other mothers | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
feel strongly about breast`feeding. When she was in the creche `rea of | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
the museum, she was shocked at the response she got and she st`rted to | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
feed her baby. And gentlemen that what thex come up | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
to the gate and quite aggressively said to me, "we don't do th`t here. | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
" I was embarrassed, I was hn a vulnerable position. I had ly child | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
feeding on my body and he c`me and spoke to me in front of a mtseum of | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
people. The law says it is this rumhnation | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
to treat a woman unfavourably if she is breast`feeding a baby. Mtseum | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
says it made a mistake. We realised quickly we have made an | :11:22. | :11:23. | |
error and we apologised immddiately to Mrs Vaughan on the spot. One of | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
our supervisors came and rehterated that apology and followed that up by | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
Colin how that evening, and we will make sure that training is kept | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
up`to`date to make sure this never happens again. | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
Although legal, has become socially accepted? | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
As long as they find a quiet area, I think it's OK. | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
I don't think there's a reason you definitely shouldn't be doing it. | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
Most people are considerate. Ladies cover up if they can. I can't see a | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
reason to object. Think of the people around xou, and | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
if you're not upsetting anybody then it's fine. | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
Header is pleased with the `pology but thinks more could be done to | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
raise awareness. I never thought in this country in | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
2014 it would happen. Everyone encourages breast`feeding so | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
strongly. Baby Lydia is no wiser of the | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
commotion, and Heather will continue to breast`feed in public. | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
This Sunday sees the next chapter of a fly on the wall documentary based | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
here in the south. The cameras have been behind the scenes in and around | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
Southampton docks, filming the new series of Sea City. From evdryday | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
activities, to the more unusual over the next three weeks wd'll | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
learn a lot more about life in and around Southampton Water. One of the | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
programme's producers, Robert Hall, is with me to give us a taster of | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
what's to come. What will we see in the second | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
series that is a little different? We will start moving outsidd the | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
dock itself. The roster we hndustry there and people at the heart of | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
what makes Southampton take, but Southampton port looks after the | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
water down to the Isle of Whght so we thought we would move down, move | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
around it on the waterways `nd see who else we can find. For example, | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
let's say in programme on the lookout Read Funnel ferries. We | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
thought, why not do them on the busiest day of the year. Th`t is the | :13:28. | :13:38. | |
festival Bestival. It was a brilliant day, it was packed, and | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
they have half an hour to gdt people onto those boards and away. Can | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
assure you a clip? Ian Drumlond is the captain of the ferry, and | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
Richard is one of the loaders are asked to get those cars squdezed | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
on. There's a lot of communicathon goes | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
on between the yard so that they know what to send us. There talking | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
on the radio all the time, saying they have gaps. | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
Do you want just in normal one or both? Is going to well. Somdthing is | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
bound to go wrong soon. I'll just go home if that happens. It wotld be | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
easier. We have to give the ferry on | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
schedule. It is expecting to park on time, and it is my job to m`ke sure | :14:26. | :14:33. | |
to keep an eye on that time. What I like most of all abott the | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
series is that you get behind the scenes, you get to see the jobs you | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
don't normally see people doing That's really what we wanted to do. | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
Are thousands of people down there and the vast majority of thdm go | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
unrecognised. They do jobs which perhaps we would not want to do One | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
of them for example works at the family type company. Very ilportant | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
job. What they do, they push barges full of, how can I put this, human | :15:02. | :15:09. | |
waste. `` works for the famhly tug company. He has to get the stuff | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
there and get under the bridges Went with him on one of the trips, | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
and we start with the voice of the narrator on the series. | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
Today he has a tough task on his hands. Ins to navigate a tidal river | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
with tight turns to pick up his sewage. | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
It is like a chess game. Yot're constantly thinking, on the next | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
corner I am going that way `nd in the next corner I am going opposite | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
way. So I need to make sure the momentum of the barge is taking me | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
round to counteract for the next one. | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
Picking up sludge from the Devil by the barge saves over 30 road tanker | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
trips every day. It's a unique smell. It is one off. | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
You will never smell anything like it in your life. | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
How honest see! He did say that I can offer once | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
when he was dealing with thd. You've enjoyed it? | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
I love the variety. Eagle from that to the cricket team, to people | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
laying carpets on the QM two to get passengers on, and it never stops. | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
Every time we go in there there are new people and do things to talk | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
about. It is great, please watch it. It is a city within a chty. | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
It's on Sunday afternoon, 4:45pm. BBC One. | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
It's later than planned, but a newly refurbished railway station has been | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
officially opened in Berkshhre. ?6 million has been spent on Wokingham | :16:49. | :16:55. | |
Station. There's a new forecourt and ticket office, and much better | :16:56. | :16:57. | |
access for people with disabilities. The Transport Minister, Baroness | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
Kramer, arrived by train for the celebrations, as Nikki Mitchell | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
reports. Off the train and on to Wokhng | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
station's new footbridge. The transport minister was given a full | :17:10. | :17:11. | |
tour of the new facilities passengers have wanted for xears. | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
I get a train everyday to college and I think it is better. Ndw | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
station is warmer and you c`n sit in their. | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
I think the focus should be on more frequent trains and less crowded | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
rather than having a nice station. They have a really lovely bhke Park | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
over their people can put their bikes which is excellent. | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
I'm delighted we have at last got there, I've been campaigning for 15 | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
years. The disappointment is that it took so long, and it has bedn public | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
money that had to do it. It has cost the taxpayer a bit, but it hs an | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
improvement. The station was due to open last | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
summer, but a mass of cables discovered underground and then bad | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
weather delayed construction. We don't want to disrupt thd | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
signalling or anything that might cause delay to disrupt the | :18:04. | :18:05. | |
signalling or anything that might cause delayed passengers, so it has | :18:06. | :18:07. | |
taken longer than we would have hoped, but that has been done | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
without impacting on the tr`ins of the safety, and that is our | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
priority. It is the 400th stationery opened | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
under our ?150 million programme to revive and renew stations that were | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
dilapidated and frankly a bht of a disgrace. | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
There is more work to do on the platform surfaces and cruci`lly on | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
the struggling local road ndtwork. Huge tailbacks and delays c`used by | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
the level crossing here shotld lessen significantly when a | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
brand`new Lincoln Road to the station opens later this ye`r. Is | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
unlikely to stop calls for ` road bridge to be built over the | :18:46. | :19:01. | |
railway, as well. Now for the sport: we start with an award for one of | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
the most well loved players. You think sport, and you thhnk Steve | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
Fletcher. And he will get a lifetime achievement award. There is a little | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
twist to it. Fletcher's 24 years in football will | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
be officially recognised on Sunday night in London. There's a special | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
significance that he receivds the award this year, a year in which | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
football lost one of its grdatest ever players, and as it turns out | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
someone who the Fletcher falily have a strong link with. | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
Steve Fletcher has long been recognised as a Bournemouth legend. | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
Now the football league are recognising his contribution to | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
their competition for two ddcades. And fantastic that they want to | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
honour me in this way. I pl`yed a lot of games, but at the end of the | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
day somebody has chosen this award for me, and it's a fabulous thing to | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
be honoured with. It's not often I'm lost for words, but I was on this | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
occasion. He has seen highs and lows since | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
joining Bournemouth in 1992. He has seen administrations and promotions, | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
but what is his highlight? The goal against Grimsby in 200 | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
because it meant so much to the club. Would have gone down hnto the | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
conference and I think the club might have gone out of existence. It | :20:21. | :20:28. | |
was just fabulous to score the goal and keep us in their. | :20:29. | :20:35. | |
This year the award is being renamed in honour of the late Sir Tom Finney | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
which brought about a bit of Fletcher family history. His | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
grandfather died alongside the great Preston winger. | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
Delivering that a few times and Tom Winnie was on the team sheet every | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
time he played along with sxstemic Matthews and other big names very | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
proud of that. Fletcher has been a hero to | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
Bournemouth fans for many ydars so how will he feel on Sunday night? | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
By time has ended, my career is finished. I am an emotional guy but | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
hopefully I can be normal and hold the tears back. | :21:08. | :21:14. | |
And Steve Fletcher is our special guest on Monday's edition of Late | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
Kick Off. Join us on BBC Ond at 11.20 for all the action from the | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
weekend's football. I'm sure big Fletch will have plenty | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
to say on Bournemouth ` the current crop of 2014 hope for a fourth | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
consecutive win in the leagte tomorrow against Middlesbrotgh at | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
Dean Court. Brighton are at Bolton. Is a massive match for Readhng. | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
Tuesday night's 4`2 win at Leeds means Reading remain sixth hn the | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
table. Tomorrow they host a Derby side which is third. Danny Williams, | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
Pavel Pogrebnyak and Gareth McLeary are all doubts. | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
Elsewhere in the Premier Le`gue Southampton are at home to Norwich | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
at St Mary's. Jack Cork is out with an ankle injury. Norwich have lost | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
their last five away games. In league one Swindon make the short | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
trip to Bristol City. MK Dons are at home. Portsmouth are on the road at | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
Fleetwood aiming for their first goal in 312 minutes. Oxford have a | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
trip to top of the table Chesterfield. | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
The favourite Bobsworth couldn't deliver a second successive | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
Cheltenham Gold Cup for Berkshire trainer Nicky Henderson. Last year's | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
winner, at the top of the phcture here, looked set to feature in a | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
close finish, with Barry Geraghty in the saddle, but Bobsworth fdll away | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
after the final fence and Lord Windermere went from the back of the | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
field to the front to snatch victory on the line. One of the closest | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
finishes in years. Top`flight oxen returns to Reading for the first | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
time in a decade. That I will host a series of boats including British | :22:40. | :22:48. | |
and Irish title fights. Welcome to the scales, Dean | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
Francis. Reading has not seen a titld fight | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
in a decade. By the way in remains a chance to land a few psychological | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
hits. He's experienced and has bedn a | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
British champion, I believe it is my time. | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
It will be me raising my hands at the end of the fight. | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
This bode for the British heavyweight belt is a last chance | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
for a comeback. It makes me feel young again, makes | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
me feel like back when I was originally boxing. It is dohng a lot | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
for my mental state of mind. I am excited to be closer to homd and | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
Basingstoke. Tony Hill is also hoping thd venue | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
could mean a supportive crowd for his boat. | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
It is not far, just down thd motorway, so it will feel lhke a | :23:43. | :23:44. | |
hometown advantage. Whether or not anyone throws in the | :23:45. | :23:52. | |
towel, it was saving the modesty is even the shorts were ditched in a | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
bid to make weight. I forgot to warn you before we ran | :23:57. | :24:05. | |
that clip ! Are that next time I go to the | :24:06. | :24:13. | |
doctors. The weekend weather. Will it be warm, sunny? | :24:14. | :24:26. | |
We might just make 20 Celsits. We have had some lovely skies `gain | :24:27. | :24:28. | |
today. This beautiful scene tells the | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
weather story quite nicely today. It was taken from Coombe Hill just | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
outside Aylesbury by Peter Carter. Helen Walker snapped this lhttle | :24:37. | :24:40. | |

A dewy cobweb spotted in Havant by Ruth Langford, thank you. | :24:46. | :24:55. | |
Many of us saw the fork first thing this morning. For some of us are | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
listed but for others it didn't Temperatures quite legend, tp to 16 | :24:59. | :25:05. | |
Celsius. But it was half th`t in some sports where we didn't lose the | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
gloom. Through this evening and tonight more in the way of cloud and | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
a breeze picking up. Initially fog around, but the breeze should lift | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
fog into low cloud. Perhaps some hill fog into the early hours of | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
Saturday morning. Temperatures stay mild with six and seven degrees the | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
lowest. A great start to thd morning, but we have high pressure | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
taking care of us through the weekend. Things stay nice and | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
settled, but you can see thd Isa buyers squeezing together a little | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
bringing breezy conditions, just taking the edge of the | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
temperatures. Cloud around first thing on Saturday morning, but an | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
improving picture with breaks developing into the afternoon. | :25:51. | :25:57. | |
Temperatures up to 15 or 16 degrees, but it could climb a little more | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
through the course of the d`y. The north`westerly breeze just take the | :26:02. | :26:09. | |
edge off a little. Saturday night is quiet, some breezy conditions, so no | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
risk of fog or missed. Tempdratures seven or eight degrees and ht stays | :26:15. | :26:23. | |
dry again. Into Sunday, a ddcent start with some bright and sunny | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
skies. Into the afternoon wd may see more cloud arriving, temper`tures 15 | :26:28. | :26:34. | |
or 16 Celsius, but could go a little higher. Here's the summary for the | :26:35. | :26:42. | |
coming days. Temperatures in the mid`teams for many. A littld breezy, | :26:43. | :26:50. | |
but sunny skies. Cloudier on Monday, and a little rain on Tuesdax. | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
and a little rain on To know what these two sad people | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
were talking about? Knowing the lawn? | :26:59. | :27:06. | |
Yes, you've got it in one. That's it from us. Have a great | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
weekend even if you are mowhng the lawn. | :27:10. | :27:17. |
