Hello and welcome to South Today. so it's goodbye from me - | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
In tonight's programme, a couple from Buckinghamshire | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
are among five people are killed in a helicopter crash. | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
It's thought the aircraft had taken off from businessman | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
Also, told he's dying from motor neurone disease, | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
but Allan's family believe it's another illness, Lyme disease, | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
All I'm asking is the NHS to give him treatment instead of leaving him | :00:23. | :00:31. | |
to die. And later on, a love | :00:32. | :00:32. | |
of rallying, speed and fun. The 72-year-old reunited | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
with her old car sets her sights A couple from Buckinghamshire | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
are believed to be among five members of the same family to have | :00:38. | :00:52. | |
died in a helicopter It's thought it had taken off | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
from the home of Kevin and Ruth Burke in Hulcote | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
near Milton Keynes. The wreckage was discovered by | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
Mountain Rescue teams in Snowdonia. Narrowing the search to South | :01:05. | :01:17. | |
Snowdonia and out the concentration of efforts, the military joining | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
civilian voluntary teams. It must have felt like looking for a needle | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
in a haystack. Mid-morning, they found the crash site and the five | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
bodies. The news was given at a police press conference. Poor | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
weather has been hampering the search, some horrendous conditions | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
reducing visibility to less than ten metres at times. I can sadly confirm | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
a crash site has been located and five people have lost their lives | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
during this incident. I'm sure you'll appreciate this is an | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
agonising time for the families and friends of all involved and our | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
thoughts are with them at this time. The helicopter is a twin Squirrel | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
manufactured by Airbus. It has a range of 500 miles. It took off from | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
Luton yesterday afternoon to make a journey to Dublin. At some stage, it | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
disappeared from the radar. The helicopter was owned by Ruth and | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
Kevin Burke, they are among those who died. Mrs Burke is originally | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
thought to come from Dublin, Mr Burke from Manchester. Conditions | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
improved marginally through the day and the investigation will have | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
already begun. The wreckage and bodies yet need to be recovered. | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
Ten men have been charged with nearly 60 offences linked | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
Thames Valley Police carried out a series of raids | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
Six more suspects were arrested in Oxford today. | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
The ten men charged, seven from Banbury, one | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
from Birmingham and two of no fixed abode, are accused of rape | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
Three girls and are alleged to have been assaulted | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
These are child exploitation offences where we think... | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
Where vulnerable people are preyed upon, vulnerable children | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
What I can tell you is, as this shows today, | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
we will relentlessly pursue those offenders that are involved | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
The family of a paralysed man from Aylesbury say that "he's | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
been send home to die" without proper treatment. | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
Allen Shepperd was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
But his family believe it's Lyme disease, caused by ticks. | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
His family have paid for private blood tests | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
to prove it's Lyme disease, and are battling for him to be | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
A month after falling into a coma in 2014, | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
Allen Sheppard from Aylesbury was diagnosed with Motor Neurone | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
Disease, a debilitating neurological condition. | :03:47. | :03:56. | |
I couldn't talk and I couldn't move. It was devastating and we didn't | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
know what to think. It didn't add up, none of it, that someone could | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
walk into hospital and then be paralysed and then on a ventilator. | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
Then Allen developed a bulls eye shaped rash on his leg, | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
and a few months later their pet dog died from Lyme disease. | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
She picked it up from our garden because she had tix on her. All | :04:18. | :04:26. | |
these pieces came together that it was Lyme disease. The doctors didn't | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
really know about Lyme disease in the ICU. They did a test and it was | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
negative. Lyme disease is passed on from ticks which can be treated by | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
antibiotics if caught early but if treatment is delayed label Tana | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
tit-mac the diseases misdiagnosed, it can lead to long-term problems. | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
Simone and her mum spent ?2000 on private blood test in Germany. The | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
results came back positive for wine disease. | :04:56. | :04:56. | |
Allen's doctors agreed to put him on antibiotic | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
treatment for a fortnight, his family says that's | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
After they saw he regained movements, they said it is all in | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
your head, we won't give you any more treatment. They didn't want to | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
talk about it. They said you've got motor neurone disease and that is | :05:13. | :05:13. | |
the end of it. Those in charge of Allen's care said | :05:14. | :05:14. | |
they were unable to comment Simone's still fighting | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
to get her dad's case re-examined and says she's prepared to raise | :05:18. | :05:30. | |
thousands of pounds for private The difficulties of identifying Lyme | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
disease has now been taken up in Parliament, | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
where a working party has been set Earlier I spoke to our | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
Political Editor Peter Henley who told me about the pressure | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
on the government to make changes. There have been some big | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
campaigns in recent months, including protests outside | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
Parliament, and the government has The Health Secretary's commissioned | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
a university study to pull together NICE are drawing up guidelines | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
on treatments available, and public health England | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
are running regular workshops for medical practitioners, | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
so that they can spot the symptoms, And a group of MPs has been putting | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
on pressure inside parliament, including this question | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
and Prime Minister 's questions. Awareness of it amongst the public | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
and GPs is incredibly low. Will my right honourable friend | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
ensure that her government does all that it can to raise its profile | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
and resolve the problem around both And this was the Prime | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
Minister's reply. He's right - we do need to raise | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
awareness of this issue but we also need to ensure that diagnosis | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
and treatment is... Early diagnosis and treatment | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
is there because that is the best way of limiting the complications | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
from this particular disease. The issue with Lyme is that | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
it's a very difficult Researchers say it's linked | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
with conditions ranging Other insect bites might be | :07:00. | :07:08. | |
spreading it as well. And spreading not just Lyme | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
but the associated diseases. So, are there a growing | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
number of cases? Yes, the campaigners say, according | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
to world health authority figures, a 65% increase every year, | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
and they say that's been So, it can't just be down to people | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
getting more exposure, there must be something | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
going on with the reporting. It is a really | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
debilitating condition. People can't work, there are knock | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
on mental health issues. I think the pressure is only | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
going to grow for answers to it. A major section of the M4 | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
in Berkshire will be closed in both It's part of a series of road works | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
planned over the next few weekends between junction 12 and 13, | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
Theale and Newbury. Some local people say they've only | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
just found out, and the work The traffic's been busy | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
here all afternoon between junctions 12 and 13 but tomorrow night, | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
at 9pm, it'll fall silent, there will be no traffic | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
on there when the work Rosemary Boorstin is a local farmer | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
and runs a local fishery. What do you think of the way | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
this has been managed? What I was slightly upset about, | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
I've been going around the farmyard, and various different people I've | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
been speaking to say, do you realise the M4 is actually | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
going to be closed completely They're saying, Rosemary, | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
you're talking rubbish, it's normal. But, actually, it is going to be | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
shut or two or three days which is going to have a huge | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
impact on everybody. There is a major | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
football match as well. I'm especially worried | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
about the Leeds-Reading game, which is obviously exit 11, | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
which is not relevant to exit 12 but, of course, | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
it's going to back up. When I first found out about this, | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
I assumed it was going to be some kind of April Fools' Day, | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
being the 1st of April! But I think it's quite sad too many | :08:52. | :08:53. | |
people don't know about it. And Dark Lane and Ash Hampstead Road | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
are both going to be shut for three months, | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
and people keep coming along, turning around, | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
going back, they're so cross. There doesn't seem to be any | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
sort of communication. You think, in this day and age, | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
it all should be communicated. They go along there, | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
they come back, and then they're Obviously, it's affecting our | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
fishery, to a certain extent, because people see the roads | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
are closed, so there's quite a lot going on that | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
could be told a bit better. Well, the work will | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
continue on the road. It'll stay closed day and night | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
and reopen on Monday morning by 6am. And Highways England says it's doing | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
everything it can to keep disruption to a minimum and it's been writing | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
to affected residents and businesses A major rat run in Aylesbury | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
could be shut for up to a month The bridge over the canal | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
on Broughton Lane is being checked Several roadworks in the area have | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
been halted to allow Broughton Lane is used by hundreds | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
of vehicles daily to avoid A set of public toilets | :09:53. | :09:57. | |

Shopping Centre in Witney, it's 20p to use a private cubicle, | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
but the urinals are free. Some local people claim the charge | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
is sexist and unfair, saying it primarily affects women | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
and disabled people. A spokesperson for the Shopping | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
Centre was unavailable for comment. I think it's wrong that | :10:20. | :10:33. | |
you accessed the urinals, no charge but if you want | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
the privacy of a cubicle, If they have enough council tax, | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
and other stuff like that, As you say, for the disabled, | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
I think it's not on. Meanwhile, Oxford University has | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
commissioned 20 portraits to try and show more diversity | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
with the institution. Broadcaster Dame Esther Rantzen, | :10:49. | :10:50. | |
novelist Jeanette Winterson, director Ken Loach and newsreader | :10:51. | :10:52. | |
Rita Chakrabati are among those whose images will go on show | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
around the university. A tortoise from Aylesbury has become | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
an internet sensation. Called Bubba, he loves to chase | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
a ball around him home. A video of him playing football has | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
had nearly SIXTY million views. His owners have been amazed at how | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
the footage has gone viral. There's nothing he likes best | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
than a good runaround. Ever since he joined this | :11:17. | :11:25. | |
family in Aylesbury, Since he targeted the treat | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
ball, though, things From Twitter, to Facebook, | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
to YouTube, Bubba is now a major Internet star with this video | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
racking up around 60 million views. Making him one of the most famous | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
tortoise is on the planet. The ball happened | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
to be on the floor. We got him out, as we usually do, | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
just to have a runaround and exercise, and he saw this ball | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
and went for it, which So I thought I'd record it and stick | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
it up for a bit of fun on Twitter. It's kind of just the fact that it's | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
a tortoise going so quickly. That's not what people think | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
tortoise is are like. There's so many videos posted | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
on your Twitter and Facebook, and this has happened to be this | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
one that's famous. Bubba's video continues | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
to draw an audience. The hope is he may even start | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
earning online royalties. The star, oblivious of his fame, | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
continues to enjoy time in his His family say what he enjoys | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
most of all is being out Now he is known by more people | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
than anyone could have imagined. He's so happy with his ball, it's | :12:36. | :12:49. | |
ridiculous. I'll have the headlines at 8pm | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
and a full bulletin at 10:30pm. Now, more of today's | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
stories with Sally Taylor. Later Tony has the sport and Alexis | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
is here with the forecast. Today was the warmest day of the | :13:04. | :13:14. | |
year so far and the warmest day of the week. I will have the rest of | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
the week's whether for you shortly. -- weather. | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
A light aircraft has crashed into the sea off | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
Emergency services were called shortly before 4pm this afternoon. | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
Two people are reported to have escaped from the plane. | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
They swam ashore after it came down quite close to the beach. | :13:31. | :13:38. | |
I was just surprised. You can't believe that you just see a plane | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
and you know something is going to happen, it is so quick, it was so | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
quick if thing was to run the bit to see if there was anything you could | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
do. On arrival at the scene, a small aircraft was just off the beach | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
partially submerged full stop two people within the plane have swum | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
ashore and thankfully would appear to have minor injuries and just in | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
shock. From the accounts of witnesses that have seen the | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
incident there is a suggestion the plane has lost power and the pilot | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
has guided the plane safely onto the water. Our reporter Claudia | :14:12. | :14:19. | |
Sermbezis is live at the scene. The emergency services are still there? | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
That is right. Literally in the last few minutes the plane has been | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
dragged out of the seat and they are pulling it further up onto the beach | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
and the reason why they want to do that, they want it to get it up | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
tonight because they didn't want it in the sea overnight, they wanted it | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
up for the environmental implications. Probably in the | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
morning they will take it away so they will try get further onto the | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
beach. It is incredible. The people I spoke to resolve this incident | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
said this plane suddenly just collided almost slowly, no sound, | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
the engine sort of spluttered and the next thing they knew it was just | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
ditched into the sea but they said the pilot really did a textbook | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
landing and it was absolutely incredible to see these two men walk | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
away literally unharmed and seeing it like that is incredible. It is | :15:12. | :15:13. | |
indeed. Thank you very much. A week after Thames Water was given | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
a record fine for pumping billions of litres of untreated sewage | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
into the River Thames, a project is underway to raise | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
awareness of the danger pollution Few people realise that liquids | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
poured down storm drains often flow directly into local waterways, | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
without being filtered or treated. So volunteers are putting warning | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
notices on dozens of drains. Armed with boxes of warning notices, | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
tubes of heavy glue and leaflets to put through letterboxes, | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
these volunteers are on a mission. Rainwater only warning stickers | :15:46. | :15:53. | |
are being put on each and every drain on this Newbury estate, | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
because everything that goes down them flows directly | :15:57. | :15:58. | |
into the River Lambourn - a site of special | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
scientific interest. Most people just don't realise, some | :16:01. | :16:13. | |
people have something to get rid of and they will shove it down the | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
drain in the house, let's put it in the drain in the street which is | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
complete the run. They are not bad people, they just don't know. -- | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
completely wrong. You only need a few people think more carefully | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
about what they are doing to the rivers and you got somewhere. | :16:30. | :16:31. | |
Earlier this month, dozens of swans had to be rescued when diesel oil | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
Absorbent ooms had to be deployed as part of a huge | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
The consequences of pollution are so great, penalties | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
Last week Thames Water was fined a record ?20 million for pumping | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
untreated sewage into the River Thames. | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
When it comes to pesticides, even the smallest amount | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
Visually people can see there is pollution until people do kick | :16:52. | :17:03. | |
sampling and you find the inverter board population has Christ which is | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
what happened in 2013 on the River Cannock went two teaspoons of | :17:10. | :17:11. | |
mechanical chemical were put down waste dumping and it caused | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
devastation for the wildlife. It is so important particularly with storm | :17:18. | :17:19. | |
drains that they realise whatever goes down eight storm drain goes | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
untreated straight into the river. And now, thanks to these volunteers, | :17:23. | :17:24. | |
there're little reminders everywhere Let's get straight on to the sport | :17:25. | :17:35. | |
and Tony husband is here. We will talk to an athlete on the road to | :17:36. | :17:37. | |
recovery. It will be one of the sporting | :17:38. | :17:38. | |
events of the summer at the scene The World Athletics Championships | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
maybe a farewell to Usain Bolt, but they could be a welcome return | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
for one of Britain's Isobel Pooley has had to deal | :17:46. | :17:47. | |
with missing last year s Olympics as she recovers from injury but, | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
as Andrew Moon found out, It is a daily roller-coaster. They | :17:52. | :18:09. | |
are in a very vulnerable place when you are an athlete and you're | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
injured because in a way your identity has been taken from you. | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
Some days are fantastic and you feel you are on top of the world and | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
getting back to your old self but some days you feel very dejected and | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
far from where you want to be and you don't really know what your | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
purposes. For Isobel Pooley it has been a long hard year. In 2016 with | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
the other pics on the horizon she was diagnosed with a stress fracture | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
of her ankle. I was dead on target for selection and totally ready to | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
go apart from this niggling pain I had been having. A part of me | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
must've known but it was gutting at the end of the day. This is all | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
after two great seasons for the athlete which saw her win silver at | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
the Commonwealth Games and prove herself as Britain's top jumper. I | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
savour those memories so much of the days that I was jumping national | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
records and competing for my country. It is a blurred and you | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
take for granted. Even though you say you want, you kind of do. | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
Talking about memories now on my heart leaps and I can't wait to get | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
back there and I hope I can one day. All athletes have to battle back | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
from injury at some point in their careers. It can be tough and lonely | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
but it is all part of the dedication needed to reach the top. Now it is a | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
race against time to be ready for the 20 17th season. We have got the | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
World Championships in London this summer and that is happening in | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
August but the qualification period ends in early July so I have to | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
compete in June saw the clock is ticking. | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
Portsmouth Football Club lost almost half a million pounds | :19:45. | :19:46. | |
The club published their accounts in the last hour showing | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
It comes as Pompey are a week into an exclusive negotiating period | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
with American businessman Michael Eisner over a takeover. | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
The club's wage bill is just shy of ?5 million. | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
Chairman Iain McInnes says in the accounts, | :20:01. | :20:01. | |
"The best way to predict the future is to create it, together" | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
in a thought provoking message to fans as they weigh up | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
Reading manager Jaap Stam has urged fans to turn out | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
in force for the run in to the Championship season. | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
The Royals have exceeded the manager's own public | :20:15. | :20:15. | |
expectations and are fifth in the table and they face | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
fourth-placed Leeds at home on Saturday. | :20:19. | :20:19. | |
But their average crowds are among the lower half of the league. | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
Stam is calling for passionate support. | :20:23. | :20:24. | |
You know, we need to have everybody at the stadium. | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
They need to help you out even in difficult times, | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
You need to have the fans to back you up to give you a good feeling, | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
because if they do that they give the opposition a different | :20:39. | :20:40. | |
The Maronite we will look ahead to the big one with Southampton game at | :20:41. | :21:03. | |
Southampton. Now the weather. We had 20 Celsius yesterday. | :21:04. | :21:05. | |
Phil Williams captured the sunrise at Cissbury Ring near Worthing. | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
Steve Miller took this picture of the sun on the trees | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
And Keith Brown photographed the flowers outside East Meon Church. | :21:11. | :21:18. | |
Some of us have some glorious sunshine today, others saw a lot of | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
cloud. The cloud is increasing all the while through the course of this | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
evening and overnight tonight and already we are seeing some patchy | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
rain. Light and patchy, not amounting to too much but overnight | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
a lot of cloud. Mild temperatures, double figures in most places with | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
loads of 10-12 C. Tomorrow morning we will see some outbreaks of light | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
and patchy rain moving from the West and they will start to clear | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
northwards. Improving. The risk of the shower in the afternoon but the | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
cloud will break in places for sunny spells. Breezy along the coast. In | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
line the winds slightly lighter. Temperatures could reach highs are | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
15 or 16. Late evening sunshine tomorrow. Once again we will see | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
cloud increase and outbreaks of rain arriving early Saturday morning. | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
Tomorrow night will be slightly fresher. A change into the weekend | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
of fresher conditions. Temperatures tomorrow around 8-10 C. It will be a | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
fresher day. Outbreaks of rain on Saturday. Heavy downpours in amongst | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
some sunny spells. Rain possible during the morning but the sunshine | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
will start to break through into the late morning and afternoon. Rumbles | :22:32. | :22:39. | |
of thunder. The weekend, both days will see some sunny spells. Sunday | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
is better. Hale and thunder on Saturday and dryer on Sunday but not | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
everyone will see thundery conditions through Sunday. Tomorrow | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
we will have some outbreaks of rain at times during the morning but | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
clearing to better conditions through the afternoon and winds will | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
be lighter as well especially for inland areas. Breezy along the coast | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
and also on Saturday but winds will be life generally so if you catch a | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
downpour they will be slow-moving and quite heavy and places. Monday | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
will see some sunshine after a cloudy start. Sunday is the better | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
day. Saturday might have one or two thunderstorms. Thank you. | :23:19. | :23:20. | |
Next month, Bron Burrell will get behind the wheel of a rally car | :23:21. | :23:27. | |
and take part in a drive from London to Lisob. | :23:28. | :23:29. | |
It's not the first time Bron - who lives in Milford-on-Sea - | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
Back in 1970 she completed the same rally with two of her best friends. | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
And now she's getting ready to do it all over again, in the same car! | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
Not before having a chat with me, in that very car. | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
It's amazing actually, it gets more amazing every time I do it. | :23:47. | :23:55. | |
I got in the first time and thought, oh, gosh, | :23:56. | :23:57. | |
But was the height of everything in those days, we are talking | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
I think they are exactly the same seats. | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
This is all built specifically for the rally. | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
At British Leyland at their special Department. | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
It is almost an aircraft style, but it has got all the dials | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
you need, all the switches you need, all the fuses are easy to get at. | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
It is amazing that you found the car again. | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
When I discovered Tina again in 2013 after all these years | :24:34. | :24:42. | |
of being not with her, she said the car is still running. | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
And so she said to come and see the car. | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
And it was at a show outside Cambridge. | :24:50. | :24:51. | |
There was a historic vehicle parade, so someone said, | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
What is it about rallying that you love so much? | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
I love driving, I do love driving, even on the roads | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
You love the speed of rallying, don't you? | :25:05. | :25:16. | |
I don't know quite how to put this, but are you a little bit more | :25:17. | :25:25. | |
careful in your rallying than you were when | :25:26. | :25:27. | |
Well, this car is not necessarily what I would call a sideways car. | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
I used to have an Escort Twin Cam, very powerful, it goes sideways. | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
Tell me you're not going sideways on this next trip. | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
But it's front wheel drive, front engine front wheel drive, | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
which I have never really driven in anger before, so I'm | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
learning the whole time, getting near a sideways, | :25:52. | :25:53. | |
The whole point is not to wreck her, so keep her going and | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
And the thing is to get to the finish. | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
Tina and me and Serin, who came with me on the Isle of man. | :26:02. | :26:14. | |
A bit like you starting all over again. | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
I don't know, but I just wonder, because age sometimes brings | :26:18. | :26:30. | |
on fear, doesn't it sometimes, but what would you say | :26:31. | :26:32. | |
You only get one life, you know, just go for it now, you know? | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
Car karaoke! I notice she has got the three of them in the car, there | :26:40. | :27:16. | |
is a seat for you, there could be four! That was fun. That was it from | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
us. Back tomorrow at 6pm. Bye-bye. | :27:22. | :27:24. |
