:08:51. > :08:52.for the things that happen, and learn from it, that's got to be
:08:53. > :09:04.some way of helping. What we are consulting on is a way

:10:15. > :10:20.winded -- wounded soldiers and families but I think the other
:10:21. > :10:23.benefit is that we avoid the need to go through lengthy legal processes
:10:24. > :10:29.and the money that would otherwise be spent on costly lawyers will
:10:30. > :10:35.hopefully go into the compensation itself and then you have the benefit

:10:54. > :10:59.understandable concern but in my experience working in the Armed
:11:00. > :11:04.Forces, and time and the Ministry of Defence, but mainly in combat units,
:11:05. > :11:08.there is no intention to hide problems, there is no intention to

:11:26. > :11:32.an effect of culture -- effective culture of fixing problems. I don't
:11:33. > :11:35.think that is a real need for people to be concerned about things not
:11:36. > :11:39.being investigated. I think the great benefit is that the problem
:11:40. > :11:43.areas will be investigated while at the same time every single soldier
:11:44. > :11:47.killed in action or wounded in action will be compensated or their
:11:48. > :11:50.families will be compensated without having to worry about court cases.
:11:51. > :11:55.Wouldn't it be better to have an assessor who is not part of the
:11:56. > :12:02.Ministry of Defence? I think there is a need for the assessor to be
:12:03. > :12:06.seen as independent of all any process like this is open to an
:12:07. > :12:12.appeal and oversight above the level of the Ministry of Defence, so I
:12:13. > :12:16.think these assessments will not be closed shop Ministry of Defence

:14:08. > :14:09.when the tide is out, From what Oliver and his team have
:14:10. > :14:15.discovered, they believe this could have been home to an ancient
:14:16. > :14:18.settlement, complete with timber structures,
:14:19. > :14:23.but they don't have long to find out more before the sea that uncovered

:14:32. > :14:34.as I think we should venture. To the untrained eye,
:14:35. > :14:52.this might just look like muddy like muddy old wood,
:14:53. > :14:55.but to the archaeologist, it's a vital clue left by those

:15:21. > :15:23.very smart software. The team are hoping to create a 3-D
:15:24. > :15:28.map of the whole site to help build up a picture of what had once looked

:18:01. > :18:06.but faster than regular 3-D printing but thinking outside the kitchen, it
:18:07. > :18:10.is hoped this technology could be a solution to a shortage of

:23:00. > :23:07.He explained to me how he came to be in this dark place.
:23:08. > :23:12.People were saying nasty comments about the fact that
:23:13. > :23:20.I'm in a wheelchair, about my condition with cerebral
:23:21. > :23:22.palsy, making references that it's like cancer and that
:23:23. > :23:32.His unhappiness took its toll on the whole family.
:23:33. > :23:37.It was like all the work that I'd done up until that point
:23:38. > :23:43.was just for nothing, because no matter what I said
:23:44. > :23:46.he wouldn't listen, he wouldn't change and see that he can
:23:47. > :23:52.In the end, Callum turned to poetry to try and explain
:23:53. > :23:58.The video was uploaded to Facebook and has now reached
:23:59. > :24:08.I was blown away by how quickly it took off!
:24:09. > :24:11.I hope that it does change the way people see people with cerebral
:24:12. > :24:14.palsy and other disabilities and I'm hoping I can change the world.
:24:15. > :24:22.I will not cry just because you stare or just
:24:23. > :24:30.because I think life is slightly unfair and even if you can't
:24:31. > :24:36.accept that it's me, just as remember this is how God
:24:37. > :24:40.designed me to be, because this is my sole and this is my face

:25:06. > :25:14.regardless of mobility or disability.
:25:15. > :25:15.Well done, what a great thing to have done.
:25:16. > :25:29.A much milder forecast and it looks like the mild weather will stay
:25:30. > :25:32.until next week. Fantastic photographs to show you. In this day
:25:33. > :25:39.starred in Northamptonshire with some beautiful sunshine and blue sky
:25:40. > :25:44.in Norfolk. Lots of rainbow photographs. This is one of many
:25:45. > :25:50.taken in Essex. There has been an area of rain spreading across the
:25:51. > :25:56.region and it has meant heavy bursts of rain, but some parts of the
:25:57. > :26:01.region have escaped it. It is centred on east and western and
:26:02. > :26:05.central parts of the region so if you live in coastal parts, you may
:26:06. > :26:11.escape what is left of it and it will be at the way fairly swiftly
:26:12. > :26:14.suffer many of us it is looking like a largely dry night and it could be
:26:15. > :26:23.the odd mist and fog patches we go through the night. A little bit
:26:24. > :26:29.colder at 56 Celsius. A cold start tomorrow. A ridge of high pressure
:26:30. > :26:32.is building in so a lot of fine weather but it may be mistaken for
:26:33. > :26:35.the first things were some low-level cloud around to start the day but
:26:36. > :26:38.then it should brighten up with some good spells of sunshine and with
:26:39. > :26:45.that milder temperature it should feel really nice in the sunshine, up
:26:46. > :26:52.to 11 Celsius, a light, moderate southwesterly wind. It is possible
:26:53. > :26:57.the thickness of the cloud could produce one or two spots of light
:26:58. > :27:05.rain. A lot of dry and fine weather for tomorrow. The high pressure
:27:06. > :27:07.builds on for Friday and it is preventing these weather systems
:27:08. > :27:11.from bringing in rainbow by the time we get to the end of the day on
:27:12. > :27:15.Saturday, we might succeed in bringing a splash of rain to many
:27:16. > :27:20.parts of the region so fine days but chilly nights under clear skies,
:27:21. > :27:24.perhaps just a few patches of mist and fog on Thursday and Friday
:27:25. > :27:27.morning. It is looking generally cloudier as that weather system
:27:28. > :27:30.approaches but it should stay dry for the start of the weekend with
:27:31. > :27:32.the chance of some rain into the start of the evening. Temperatures
:27:33. > :27:38.could be higher into next week. We'll see you tomorrow night.
:27:39. > :27:56.Goodbye. when farmers leave
:27:57. > :27:59.their daily routines behind... Right, here we come, Dorset!
:28:00. > :28:03...for a show day.
