And later on, life after thd landslip, nearly five months after | :00:29. | :00:35. | |

He admits killing her but denies murder. | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
Victoria Cook was in court and joins us now. | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
Victoria, what more did Ben Blakeley say about | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
Ben Blakeley told the court that they had met up that afternoon | :01:15. | :01:26. | |
because Jayden Parkinson had told him she was pregnant. He had bought | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
pregnancy test. When they mdt up, she said she was not pregnant. She | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
then travel to and area in Didcot, where they often went to thd | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
Internet together and smoke cannabis. Once there, they started | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
kissing and undressing. The QC said, is that when things changed? Yes, | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
she said. I asked if she was lying about that dude, she looked down and | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
then I grabbed her. Ben Blakeley explained to the jury that he | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
wrapped her around the thro`t seconds before she fell over the | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
bridge and fell into some mtd, he tried to revive her by pressing on | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
her chest and blowing into her mouth, but was unsuccessful. At this | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
point in court, he broke down in the witness box and several members of | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
Jayden Parkinson Mac family left the court in tears. And the jurx heard | :02:20. | :02:27. | |
about his troubled childhood? He described how his father be`t him | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
regularly, wanted to leave him at the hospital when he was born, and | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
used to pick up by the thro`t. He said, one of my first is hil coming | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
into the room with a boot and hitting me, I was five or shx. By | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
the age of eight, he was sldeping with a knife under his pillow and by | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
the age of 11, he was taken into care. He said he wants saw his | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
family on a shopping trip once he had been taken away, and asked his | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
brother, why aren't I with xou? His brother replied, because yot are | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
evil. Ben Blakeley rip `` ddnies murder and the trial contintes. | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
Part of the M40 near Banbury is still shut this | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
The vehicle was carrying thhrty tonnes of straw and caught `light | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
at just before three o'clock this afternoon | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
It's caused delays of up to an hour for drivers at junction 11, | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
with traffic being diverted along the nearby slip road. | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
Police have arrested a man who escaped from a prhson | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
Ricardo Dunn had been serving a sentence for causing grievots bodily | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
harm with intent, at HM Sprhng Hill open prison in Grendon Underwood. | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
Another man also escaped from the same jail. | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
Darren Douglas was serving a life sentence for murder. | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
Officers say he shouldn't be approached if spotted. | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
Discussions have begun about plans to build a new stadium for Oxford | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
The leader of Oxfordshire County Council, Ian Hudspeth, has spoken to | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
representatives from the cltb about building on green belt land near | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
He says the existing Kassam Stadium could be sold off for housing. | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
Could this become the Oxford United's third ground | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
Land behind Water Eaton park and ride. | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
Nine miles further north from the clubs current home | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
The proposal's being supported by one | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
I want Oxford United to havd their own stadium in a good place | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
That's my purpose, it is obviously up to the consortium | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
and the owner as to who he wishes to sell to if he wishes to sell. | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
Well, supporters of the plan say it's becausd | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
of the transport links, with the Water Eaton park`and`ride, the A34 | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
nearby, and the new Oxford Parkway train station just behind md. | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
But some feel the environmental consequences don't make sense. | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
It just seems crazy to knock down one building and put it somdwhere | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
else, and build on the land where that one building was, can't we just | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
keep that building and then look at whether the other land that's being | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
proposed is suitable for housing instead? | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
Something appreciated by Cotncillor Hudspeth. | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
It is in the green belt and I understand the sensitivities around | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
that, we have to work with Cherwell district Council to see if they d | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
At the moment a number of dhfferent groups are looking to buy the club. | :05:21. | :05:29. | |
But they wouldn't be buying the stadium or surrounding land | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
as that would remain in the hands of Firoz Kassal. | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
However, tonight BBC South Today understands the proposed Water Eaton | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
development is being taken seriously by the club's current owners, | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
potential new owners and other senior politicians in the county. | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
A man's appeared in court accused of murdering a 60 year old lan | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
Tom Rogers was found by a cycle path near the town's | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
Jason Voong has been charged with stabbing and killing hhm. | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
The 27 year old is also acctsed of attempting to murder | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
He's due to appear at Bristol Crown Court tomorrow. | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
Tens of thousands of visitors travelled to Oxfordshire today | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
putting on a display of colourful club jackets, ties and flor`l | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
The 175th Royal Henley Regatta is underway. | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
The draw for many is the opportunity to watch rowers from | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
around the world battle it out on the water, but are the town's shops | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
In 1839, Henley hosted its first regatta. 175 years on, and the | :06:34. | :06:54. | |
competition on the water has grown in stature. This event attr`cts the | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
top Olympians. For the UK crews and from all over the world, it is the | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
Mecca. It is the race to race and they are so pleased to even be here. | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
The crowds do not disappoint either. Turning out in their hundreds of | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
thousands, it is these visitors and the cash they bring with thdm which | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
is such a vital injection for the local economy. It is thought as many | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
as half a million people cotld come to the Henley Regatta this xear The | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
question for local businessds is how many of those will leave thd river | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
bank, crossed the bridge into town and spend their hard earned money? | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
It is much easier for us to have our freshman is here and watch the | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
races. It is convenient to tse the catering here, but we will be dining | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
out in the town. We have had lunch here, we have tried all the | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
different bars, we have popped into town and have lunch today. Dither | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
way, it seems one unintended consequence of the strict dress code | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
might be boosting business for dressmakers at least. Our ctstom | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
yesterday and today has been women who have been turned away and need | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
to come out of the town and buy a dress because theirs is too short. | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
Despite the searing heat, short dresses cannot be forgiven `t | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
Henley. Isn't it those kind of archaic rules which are sceptical | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
coming back for so long? `` which have kept people coming back for so | :08:21. | :08:21. | |
long? Motorists caught flouting 20 miles | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
per hour speed limits in thd Thames Valley could escape having | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
penalty points added to Offending drivers will instdad be | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
offered the chance to compldte Police said the 20 miles per hour | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
limits have been ignored by some motorists in the St Giles | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
area of Oxford and they want to Traffic on the A43 is set to be | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
disrupted for the next thred days as the 50th British Grand Prix is | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
staged at Silverstone. It's a big weekend for thousands | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
of race goers and for the local Formula One tdams who | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
consider it their home race. BBC Radio Oxford's breakfast show | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
presenter has been training for the perfect pitstop with Enstone | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
based Lotus. A couple of seconds ago, | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
the place was swarming with people, All I had to do was take ond | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
nut off and put it back. Not sure if he'll be joining | :09:10. | :09:19. | |
the Lotus team any time soon! You can hear more from Phil's time | :09:20. | :09:35. | |

certainly has ambitious plans. Still to come | :10:01. | :10:08. | |
in this evening's South Tod`y. Big hitting with a big star, | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
the Sussex and England all rounder showing the kids how it's done | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
at Hampshire's Ageas Bowl. Residents on the Isle of Wight | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
affected by large landslip say they still don't know when | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
their lives will return to normal. Part of the road along Undercliff | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
Drive near Ventnor ` an are` notorious for its instability ` | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
dramatically collapsed in Fdbruary. The council and army helped | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
the residents of nine properties evacuate ` five months on, | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
some still can't return homd. The council will discuss repair | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
costs on Monday but Chrissy Sturt has been to | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
meet those affected. Baked dry under a hot sun today | :10:40. | :10:54. | |
but it was rain that destroxed this road. | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
After weeks of wet, Underclhff Drive fell apart in February. | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
Six months on, this road is still closed. | :11:02. | :11:03. | |
Five families whose homes are on the other side of that b`rrier | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
still cannot live in them and one business, a caravan park, | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
Gary's five`star holiday holes would normally be fully booked, | :11:10. | :11:18. | |
I am just landlocked now, I can't operate. | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
And children are not allowed on site, it is a building shte now. | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
It is spiralling me into more and more debt. | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
Retired couple Barbara and Peter are living here | :11:34. | :11:41. | |
They don't know if they will ever be able to return to their famhly home. | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
The thing that is holding us back is, our money is in the famhly | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
I said, it is an impossible situation at the moment, | :11:50. | :12:01. | |
we don't have any answers and no one seems to be able to help us. | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
Now residents want an independent investigation | :12:06. | :12:07. | |
into whether road works being carried out in the autumn dhrectly | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
Yes, we had an amount of rahnfall, I can't remember seeing rain | :12:11. | :12:19. | |
And that would exacerbate the situation. | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
It is just strange that where the work has been taking pl`ce there | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
Island Roads built or startdd to build this project. | :12:30. | :12:37. | |
They need to be held to account and the council are not looking | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
into the fact that they could be to blame for this. | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
We put these claims to Island Roads and the council but wd have | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
Work drawing up plans for a new super garrison on Salhsbury | :12:50. | :13:00. | |
But at the same time as mord troops prepare to return from Germ`ny to | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
Wiltshire, some of those already based there where today looking for | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
jobs after being made redundant in the last rounds of military cuts. | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
As Joe Campbell reports, a growing number are looking to stay | :13:12. | :13:13. | |
in the area rather than rettrn to the towns they signed up from. | :13:14. | :13:21. | |
This man is preparing to sax goodbye to the Army. He will not be bidding | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
farewell to Wiltshire. After 30 years, his wife has a job hdre and | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
employment prospects mean the family home in Yorkshire has been sold | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
ready for Wiltshire becoming bare lasting peace. It was going back 15 | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
years when I first came herd, quite rural, now with the expansion of | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
Southampton, cruise liners, other expansions, it is a viable thing to | :13:49. | :13:55. | |
look at. In the past events like this were dominated by businesses | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
from far and away to look at. In the past events like this were dominated | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
by businesses from far and wide but even the national companies here | :14:02. | :14:03. | |
today are looking to build jobs locally. We are building a lassive | :14:04. | :14:12. | |
distribution centre. It is not just those hanging up their uniforms who | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
are altering the face of Wiltshire. This has long been the Army's main | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
training location so it was inevitable that many troops | :14:22. | :14:23. | |
returning from Germany would end up living here, some 4000 extr` | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
soldiers will be based here by 019 and it is expected accommod`tion and | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
new training facilities will inject around ?1 billion into the local | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
economy. We are planning for schools and health so it is all in the | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
planning. It is not here yet because the soldiers are not here ydt but it | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
will be. That will mean the Army and local authorities working together | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
in a way they have never done before to manage the change coming | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
Wiltshire's way. Another glorious day today with | :14:54. | :14:55. | |
the temperatures getting A great day to head for | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
the beach perhaps but with the main school holidays still weeks away | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
and most of us stuck in work, how Sean Killick is live in | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
Bognor Regis. I will be honest, I was expdcting | :15:09. | :15:16. | |
shorts and maybe a knotted handkerchief. You are a verx | :15:17. | :15:23. | |
sartorial in a jacket. That was this afternoon, it is the cocktahl hour | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
just now. You mentioned the school holidays, either never add ` child | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
once July arrive, that psychological barrier was breached, I could almost | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
Melba seaweed. At the moment it is not just the children getting | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
excited, but also the traders. The weather today was very much good for | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
a screen but when it comes to attracting visitors, Bognor has got | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
it sorted. Butlins in town has almost 400,000 visitors per year, | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
most of them pre`booked it will be easier whatever the weather, | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
although many do not leave the site enough do to ensure the numbers on | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
the beach are swelled. We are staying in Butlins. First thme here | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
for years. We are having a great time. The little one is lovhng it. | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
The weather is perfect. It hs glorious. There is no need to go | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
away on holiday when it is `s beautiful as it is. It has been the | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
perfect week. Traders say the good weather at this week has improved | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
business in advance of the school holidays. Busy days are usu`lly | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesd`y. And that is people who are coming | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
whether it is sunny or not. It is pretty much steady although the good | :16:42. | :16:43. | |
weather brings the residents out also. Bognor is proudly displaying | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
its new beach award and another flag will be flying this year as well, | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
for the lifeguards. There whll be the first`ever lifeguard patrols | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
working with colleagues who started the service last year. The lifeguard | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
is just about it finishes d`y. He went in with his rescue board and he | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
got there, a girl went underneath the water, it was a three`ydar`old | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
Carole and he managed to save her from under the water. That service | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
will launch this weekend, it is funded in part by the Counchl and | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
the RNLI and despite a panic engine of lifeguard services by thd RNLI | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
which the only launched recdntly. No need for it this evening, it has | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
turned a bit chilly. I think there may be some rain on the way. | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
We will find out shortly. This Saturday BBC News celebrates | :17:40. | :17:47. | |
the 60th Anniversary of It was broadcast on the 5th of July | :17:48. | :17:49. | |
1954. And to mark | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
the anniversary we've posted a special film on our Facebook page | :17:54. | :17:54. | |
for "Throwback Thursday". There's a look back at the summer | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
of 54 here in the South, whdre it looks like they were enjoying the | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
same sunny weather we are today A diver from Gosport is hophng to | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
reveal the secrets of an unusual ship which sank off the | :18:06. | :18:07. | |
Isle of Wight almost 160 ye`rs ago. Jane Maddocks lead a dive on the | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
SS Faith. It was one of the first ste`m | :18:13. | :18:14. | |
powered warships and also h`d sails. It was being delivered to Ttrkey | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
at the height of the Crimean War All but one | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
of the crew were rescued. Let's discuss sport. He did well in | :18:25. | :18:43. | |
cocktail hour, our reporter. We featured Gaby Taylor yesterday. | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
Gaby Taylor went out of Junhor Wimbeldon at the third round stage. | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
The 16 year old who trains hn Spain, was beaten by a Spaniard, P`ula | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
The first set went to a tie break with Gaby losing out 7`5. | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
Her opponent wrapped up the match with a 6`4 second set | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
scoreline but Gaby could reflect on an important week of development. | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
I have learned a lot here. H have gained huge experience. It has | :19:09. | :19:18. | |
boosted my confidence. So yds, I am just waiting to come back ndxt year | :19:19. | :19:20. | |
and play again. One of English cricket's new stars | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
has been in Hampshire today to pass on some of the skills which have | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
taken him to international honours. The Sussex all`rounder Chris Jordan | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
has forced his way into contention for the England Test | :19:30. | :19:31. | |
team with some dynamic displays over Today he was coaching youngsters | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
on a ground where he hopes he'll be playing Test cricket | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
in just over three weeks' thme. He is one of modern cricket's rising | :19:41. | :19:50. | |
stars. This is the modern w`y children are playing the gale. Chris | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
Jordan was not too concerned about seeing a straight bat or high elbow, | :19:54. | :20:03. | |
the sport has evolved. I watched a lot of 2020 cricket on TV. Ht has | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
been fun working with him. He taught me a lot about batting and hitting | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
the ball out of the park. It will be to keep my feet separated at my head | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
still. When fans come to Agdas Bowl, they will hope to see Chris Jordan | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
display form that he had displayed in the last couple of years, batting | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
and bowling, the form has bden so good he has made the intern`tional | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
selectors take notice. It is a very family oriented environment. | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
Everyone at the club from d`y one have helped me settle off of the | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
field which helped me get on with matters on the field which hs a | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
massive help. Ageas Bowl st`ges its second test against India l`ter this | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
month. I have good memories of this venue having made my intern`tional | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
debut here. This is a lovelx ground especially when the weather is like | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
this and I hope people, can support us because that is when we get to | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
play our best. England's disastrous winter and series defeat to Sri | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
Lanka have increased the prdssure on the captain but Jordan does not see | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
the England cap as a stressful place to be. The environment allows | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
players to go out there and express themselves. It is not presstre at | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
all. By the time the series reaches Hampshire, England will need to | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
rediscover their winning waxs. There has been some great wdather | :21:30. | :21:30. | |
today. close to raising ?100,000 from fans | :21:31. | :21:41. | |
for a new training ground. The appeal was launched 6 wdeks ago. | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
The club hopes to raise a qtarter of a million pounds by the start of the | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
new season. It comes just a year after fans raised two and a half | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
million pounds to save Pompdy from And set in motion a community club. | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
That is all of the sport on a lovely sunny day. | :21:59. | :21:59. | |
Hundreds of school pupils h`ve marched through a New Forest | :22:00. | :22:01. | |
town today to remember the local men killed in World War One. | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
It's part of a project to hdlp the teenagers understand what h`ppened | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
100 years ago as we approach the anniversary of the Great War. | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
Some of the pupils have been to France and Belgium to leave letters | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
on the grave of those men from New Milton who never came home. | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
And some of them found out they even had | :22:17. | :22:18. | |
The uniforms may be different but the route the schoolchildren are | :22:19. | :22:30. | |
marching in the same, 100 ydars ago men from New Milton what on this | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
road as they left for war. The students wanted to capture the mood | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
of the day. Your country is up to its neck in a fight. One of their | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
pupils is Josh who today land about his connection to the war. Ly | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
great`great`grandfather was a great`great`grandfather was a | :22:49. | :22:50. | |
Sergeant and he died at Gallipoli on the 21st of August 1915. By a lot. | :22:51. | :22:58. | |
Only last week Josh and his pupils went to France and Belgium to visit | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
the war graves and pay their respects. It was upsetting seeing it | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
all. You almost tried to block out the amount of graves. During their | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
visit, pupils wrote letters to those who fought and left them on graves. | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
After the march, a service was held in front of the town's Memorial The | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
school presented the Royal British Legion with it a nation of ?100 . We | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
are incredibly proud of our students today, they are respectful `nd the | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
took their occasion with appropriate seriousness and paid respect to the | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
people on the war memorial. The pupils are learning about their | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
family history in the classroom and that of some of the staff. No my | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
great uncle was a teacher. On the second day of the war they joined up | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
and within one month he was killed. Unfortunate. I have things H can | :23:54. | :24:03. | |
remember him by. I hope to help the pupils to say things that wdre going | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
on at that time, what it was like and make it real for them. For the | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
pupils, it has been a history lesson they will never forget. It hs | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
important it does not happen again and people know the amount of people | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
who died. It is important it is remembered. It is wonderful to see | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
another generation understanding exactly what went on. Let's move on | :24:25. | :24:32. | |
to the weather. Alexis is whth us tonight. It has been lovely. We got | :24:33. | :24:38. | |

temperatures inland tomorrow, always cooler along the coast with the | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
onshore breeze. Mild overnight, it will feel quite humid and sticky, | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
increasing cloudy during thd latter part of the night for some. There | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
will be clear spells down towards the south and east of elsewhere with | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
the increasing close for northern and western areas, we look `t | :25:50. | :25:52. | |

sleeping. A very humid night to come tomorrow night. An area of low | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
pressure causes this weather front to push through towards southeastern | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
