Hello, I'm Jo Kent with the news here in the South.

:00:20.:00:22.

Tributes have been paid to a Southampton couple

:00:23.:00:24.

who were killed in a coach crash while on holiday in India.

:00:25.:00:27.

Roopesh and Kavita Nawarkhele were travelling with their young daughter

:00:28.:00:29.

to visit family and friends, when the accident happened

:00:30.:00:31.

early on Saturday in the Punjab region.

:00:32.:00:33.

Their daughter has been taken to hospital with serious injuries.

:00:34.:00:36.

Mr Nawarkhele worked for Southampton City Council in children's services.

:00:37.:00:41.

Today, a friend who was due to pick the family up later this week

:00:42.:00:44.

described the couple as being "very active" in the local community.

:00:45.:00:52.

A very lively family which love life to the extent and very family

:00:53.:01:03.

centric. They were very dedicated towards their only daughter. The

:01:04.:01:10.

intention of coming to the UK was basically to get and give a better

:01:11.:01:11.

life for their daughter. An after`school club in Oxfordshire

:01:12.:01:15.

for children with learning difficulties has

:01:16.:01:17.

hit back at education inspectors about claims it failed to report

:01:18.:01:19.

an allegation of abuse. Guideposts Holiday Club in Abingdon

:01:20.:01:22.

was rated inadequate by Ofsted Managers say all relevant agencies

:01:23.:01:24.

were informed about the allegation but Ofsted wasn't told

:01:25.:01:30.

due to an "administrative error". The Trust that ran it

:01:31.:01:33.

says it intends to challenge some other aspects

:01:34.:01:37.

of the inspection report. marches, legal battles

:01:38.:01:42.

and a public inquiry all focused on fighting plans

:01:43.:01:47.

to put up a mobile phone mast in a Winchester street, but the

:01:48.:01:51.

mobile phone company, Orange, won. the mast has been removed,

:01:52.:01:56.

as it's no longer needed. Its departure got a lot less

:01:57.:02:01.

attention than when it arrived. First, they went around the back.

:02:02.:02:18.

The mast was there. The passing of time and technology.

:02:19.:02:22.

A protest picture of Sarah as a toddler. A decade later, floating on

:02:23.:02:26.

a campaign that her grandmother fought. I think it is good. I am

:02:27.:02:30.

proud of my grandma. It has been going on for years and she has done

:02:31.:02:37.

really well, I am proud of her. In 2001, when Orange proposed a mast in

:02:38.:02:45.

Winchester, it sparked a long fought campaign that resulted in a public

:02:46.:02:51.

enquiry. The protesters lost their fight and Orange put up their mast.

:02:52.:02:57.

We do not want it! The mast has now gone. Not a battle won but

:02:58.:03:03.

technology moving on. When they came up the road on Saturday, it took me

:03:04.:03:09.

back to when they came up the road with the police to put the mast up.

:03:10.:03:13.

It was great to see it coming down. It was great to see them cut it up.

:03:14.:03:21.

I am sad my husband is not here to see it because he put a hell of a

:03:22.:03:26.

lot into the campaign, certainly in the early days. He would have been

:03:27.:03:30.

thrilled to think that it had finally gone.

:03:31.:03:37.

90,000 music fans have been making the long, wet

:03:38.:03:39.

and rather muddy journey home from this year's Reading Festival.

:03:40.:03:44.

To a music festival with a difference now,

:03:45.:03:46.

which has been taking place in the New Forest,

:03:47.:03:48.

but you can only go if you're a Girl Guide.

:03:49.:03:51.

The Wellies And Wristbands Festival is organised by Girlguiding

:03:52.:03:53.

It's designed to give girls as young as ten

:03:54.:03:57.

a first festival experience in a safe environment.

:03:58.:03:59.

Over the weekend, thousands camped, tried all sorts of activities

:04:00.:04:01.

This is what some 11`year`old Guides from Berkshire made of it.

:04:02.:04:08.

It is just like going to Glastonbury, just not as loud. You

:04:09.:04:15.

can go wherever you want and you don't have to have any restrictions.

:04:16.:04:20.

You are camping in the freezing cold and you have all of the music. I

:04:21.:04:25.

enjoyed setting up the tents because I have not done it before, it is my

:04:26.:04:26.

first time. It's been a bank holiday washout

:04:27.:04:31.

after heavy rain poured down, Bournemouth's beaches are usually

:04:32.:04:35.

teeming with sun`worshippers this time of year `

:04:36.:04:38.

instead, they were almost deserted. And the Uffington White Horse Show

:04:39.:04:41.

in Oxfordshire saw visitor numbers drop

:04:42.:04:43.

by almost a tenth on yesterday. But it was the shops

:04:44.:04:45.

and museums reaping the rewards as people ran for cover to find

:04:46.:04:48.

something to do in the rain. Yesterday, at the 43rd Uffington

:04:49.:04:51.

White Horse Show in Oxfordshire, this area was packed with around

:04:52.:05:00.

6,000 people. Today, only 1,000 turned out as the

:05:01.:05:02.

weather took a change for the worst. the weather seemed to be

:05:03.:05:09.

water off a duck's back. It is lovely. It is only a little

:05:10.:05:21.

bit of rain. I have my umbrella. I will head for the beer tent in a

:05:22.:05:23.

minute. The indoor circus proved

:05:24.:05:26.

a vote`winner, too, as visitors sheltered

:05:27.:05:28.

from the downpours. Any profit made at the show

:05:29.:05:32.

is reinvested into the community but, despite the weather,

:05:33.:05:34.

organisers were staying upbeat. It is probably one of the best

:05:35.:05:42.

Sundays we have had in recent days. Today is not so good. The rain is

:05:43.:05:47.

not helping us but we are getting a few people on the showground.

:05:48.:05:50.

It was no better at Bournemouth this morning.

:05:51.:05:52.

Just a fraction of the visitors normally found on the beach

:05:53.:05:54.

during the summer, with many sheltering from the rain.

:05:55.:05:57.

But there were healthy queues to the aquarium

:05:58.:06:02.

It is always nice to come additional British holiday, which means lots of

:06:03.:06:09.

rain! We are here for the airshow so hopefully it will be better by the

:06:10.:06:13.

end of the week. It is beautiful. I love it here.

:06:14.:06:16.

the weather was just a little wide of the mark,

:06:17.:06:20.

but it didn't seem to stop people having a good time.

:06:21.:06:26.

Good to see people making the best of it. Now for the weather. Alexis

:06:27.:06:29.

is with us. Will it get any better? Unfortunately not. It will improve

:06:30.:06:42.

by the weekend. The rain will be intense at times, which could lead

:06:43.:06:44.

to localised flooding and surface water. We have already seen 1.5

:06:45.:06:49.

inches of rain in some places and that will continue to fall

:06:50.:06:52.

overnight. Lows of between 14`16 Celsius. A soggy start to tomorrow

:06:53.:06:57.

with rain on and off. The Met Office have issued a yellow weather

:06:58.:07:03.

warning. There could be some torrential downpours through the

:07:04.:07:06.

afternoon around Hampshire, with highs of 20 Celsius in any dry or

:07:07.:07:10.

Sunnis Busby have. The Met Office warning is in place tomorrow. Some

:07:11.:07:18.

really heavy rain at times. Sunshine and showers on Thursday and Friday.

:07:19.:07:22.

That is from us for now. You can find out more on the BBC News

:07:23.:07:29.

website. We back later. Goodbye. `` we are back later.

:07:30.:07:35.

Hello, if you love wet weather, you appreciate a satellite picture. A

:07:36.:07:49.

big swell cloud around to the west of Ireland. If you love bank

:07:50.:07:53.

holidays, you would choose different words to describe the
