Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's

:00:01.:00:11.

programme: one person is believed to have died as two light aircraft

:00:11.:00:16.

collide near Shoreham Airport. As rubbish piles up on the streets

:00:16.:00:19.

of Southampton, unions plan more action - this time to disrupt the

:00:19.:00:22.

port. I am proud of Southampton, I don't

:00:22.:00:26.

like the city being like it is at the moment.

:00:26.:00:29.

The new campaign to get dog owners to help protect birds that nest on

:00:29.:00:32.

the ground. And find out how smart design has

:00:32.:00:42.
:00:42.:00:48.

helped this ten-year-old add One person has been killed after

:00:48.:00:50.

two light aircraft collided in mid- air over Sussex. The accident

:00:50.:00:53.

happened shortly after 4:30pm this afternoon. One aircraft managed to

:00:53.:00:56.

land at Shoreham Airport, but the other came down at the Arun

:00:56.:01:05.

The Sussex Air Ambulance and fire crews were called to the scene. Our

:01:05.:01:11.

reporter Tony Husband is there now. The Tony, at this stage, what can

:01:11.:01:16.

you tell us? This was an incident that occurred

:01:16.:01:22.

involving two light aircraft. Around two hours ago, it appears

:01:22.:01:27.

the clash was between two planes, one of the -- one of them we

:01:27.:01:31.

believe may have been landing at nearby Shoreham Airport. The plane

:01:31.:01:35.

came down a couple of hundred metres from a children's playground

:01:35.:01:38.

and it is believed that the accident then led to the vitality

:01:39.:01:44.

that has now been reported by Sussex Police. One person concerned

:01:44.:01:50.

dead, in the plane that crashed in the recreation field where I am now

:01:50.:01:57.

standing. Police have closed the A259 Brighton Road around this area,

:01:57.:02:02.

there is a major investigation underway.

:02:02.:02:12.
:02:12.:02:22.

De one which landed at nearby Shoreham Airport, -- one of them

:02:22.:02:26.

landed at nearby Shoreham Airport. We do know the pilot of the plane

:02:26.:02:30.

that crashed at the Recreation Ground has died tonight.

:02:30.:02:35.

We apologise for the sound quality, that was live by broadband.

:02:36.:02:38.

One eyewitness told us what happened when the collision

:02:38.:02:42.

occurred. It was a mid-air collision. A plane

:02:42.:02:46.

had taken off from Shoreham Airport and was heading towards the sea,

:02:46.:02:51.

another one was coming west to east. You can hear the helicopters coming

:02:51.:02:58.

in to land. Yes, I can. The police and ambulance helicopter is just

:02:59.:03:02.

arriving. The one that was coming west to east came straight across

:03:02.:03:07.

the front of the one that had taken off and I saw the wing hit the

:03:07.:03:12.

other one, a lump fell off. That aircraft actually managed to land

:03:12.:03:17.

again, but the other one was just... Oh, it was awful.

:03:17.:03:23.

One person dead after two light aircraft collided in mid-air over

:03:23.:03:28.

Sussex. Any more news on that and we will bring it to you during the

:03:28.:03:30.

programme. For six weeks, householders and

:03:30.:03:33.

businesses in Southampton have been living with sights like this,

:03:33.:03:36.

uncollected rubbish building up in streets and parks. Today, unions

:03:36.:03:39.

said they would extend the strike so that it affected the operation

:03:39.:03:43.

of the city's port. Next week council-employed health officials

:03:43.:03:46.

at the Port of Southampton will also go on strike. Unison, Unite

:03:46.:03:49.

and the GMB say that move will affect cruise ships and prevent

:03:49.:03:52.

some imports. It is the fall-out from a dispute between Southampton

:03:52.:03:55.

City Council and members of the Unite union over pay cuts. Roisin

:03:55.:04:05.

Gauson reports. It is unsightly, a magnet for vermin, and have been

:04:05.:04:11.

piling up for weeks. It should not be done. It is rubbish. You cannot

:04:11.:04:15.

even walk straight. I now have flies landing on me, which is

:04:15.:04:20.

telling. It tells you about the state of this place, it is

:04:20.:04:23.

unpleasant. As the build-up of rubbish

:04:23.:04:25.

escalates, so does the strike action. From the kerbside to the

:04:26.:04:28.

dockside, Southampton's port is the latest target. Council staff there

:04:28.:04:36.

will walk out next week as the row over pay cuts continues. The port

:04:36.:04:42.

health certificates livestock, food, sanitation. We have incoming and

:04:42.:04:47.

outgoing products through the containers, through the cruise

:04:47.:04:51.

liners, and we believe it will have significant impact. The action has

:04:51.:04:54.

the potential to bring one of the UK's busiest ports to a halt.

:04:54.:04:59.

Unions estimate it could cost the city �1 million each day. We are

:04:59.:05:03.

hoping it will not be as significant as they will predict.

:05:03.:05:07.

We are looking at contingencies, of course. The dock is the main

:05:07.:05:10.

economic driver of the City and if they want to bring the city to its

:05:10.:05:14.

knees, let them tell the residents that is what they want to do.

:05:14.:05:17.

on the streets, some landlords have decided to take matters into their

:05:17.:05:21.

own hands and bring in contract cleaners. They find there is a lot

:05:21.:05:25.

of rubbish outside, up the street, so it is not good. Parents are

:05:25.:05:30.

asking what is going on, so there is a general disquiet. I am proud

:05:30.:05:34.

of Southampton, I don't like this city being like it is at the moment.

:05:34.:05:37.

They say first impressions are everything. New students moving to

:05:37.:05:40.

Southampton will be greeted by a city with public services at a

:05:40.:05:44.

standstill. So it is clear people in

:05:44.:05:47.

Southampton are the losers in this dispute, but who is winning? And

:05:47.:05:50.

how much longer can it last? Our political editor Peter Henley joins

:05:50.:05:56.

me from Westminster. Where is this going, Peter?

:05:56.:06:00.

As far as council leaders are concerned, Monday is the deadline,

:06:00.:06:04.

the day for new contracts, when staff will have to have signed them

:06:04.:06:11.

or face dismissal, be dismissed. From the council's point of view,

:06:11.:06:15.

that is when they will make the savings by getting people to accept

:06:15.:06:20.

pay cuts. By saving 400 jobs, making cuts without cutting

:06:21.:06:24.

services. But from the union's point of view, they say Monday is

:06:24.:06:28.

the day when the council will see the full anger of staff in

:06:28.:06:31.

Southampton, and that the strikes they have had so far have managed

:06:31.:06:36.

to keep the public opinion on their side because it has not, despite

:06:36.:06:42.

the piling up of rubbish, actually turned people against the strikers.

:06:42.:06:46.

In fact, it has shown, the union's claim, that people value their

:06:46.:06:49.

public services and when they see the vital role that the council

:06:49.:06:54.

also plays in the docks, that will reinforce that. Both sides say they

:06:55.:06:58.

are prepared to go back to the negotiating table but it does not

:06:58.:07:01.

look at the moment like a well. What is the indication of the

:07:01.:07:06.

number of staff who will sign the new contract by next Monday?

:07:06.:07:11.

It is passed 70% already, but it is perhaps not a good indication

:07:11.:07:14.

because the union has advised their members it is a good idea for them

:07:14.:07:18.

to sign up. They are taking a parallel legal case for unfair

:07:18.:07:21.

dismissal saying unfair pressure has been put on staff to sign these,

:07:21.:07:27.

so we could get 100%. One of the things the council is worried about

:07:27.:07:32.

is losing key staff, people who will not sign up to his new

:07:32.:07:36.

contract and on Tuesday start work somewhere else. I am told there are

:07:36.:07:42.

golden hellos being offered for people like social workers, and

:07:42.:07:45.

that Southampton City Council face losing people like that unless they

:07:45.:07:55.
:07:55.:07:56.

come up with a contingency. Thank you.

:07:56.:07:59.

Two woman are in a serious condition after being knocked down

:07:59.:08:02.

by a car in Gosport. It happened as they were crossing Stoke Road just

:08:02.:08:05.

after 11pm on Saturday night. The car failed to stop and drove off

:08:06.:08:08.

down Spring Garden Lane. Three people are helping police with

:08:08.:08:10.

their inquiries and officers are appealing for information.

:08:10.:08:12.

New figures show the Dorset coastline saw more scuba diving

:08:13.:08:15.

accidents last year than anywhere else in the country. Portland

:08:15.:08:17.

Coastguard dealt with 41 separate diving incidents, including three

:08:17.:08:27.
:08:27.:08:30.

deaths - more than three times the national average.

:08:31.:08:33.

Labour is demanding a review of the Government's decision to build a

:08:34.:08:36.

new fleet of trains for Brighton in Germany. The contract, worth more

:08:37.:08:39.

than �2 billion, is going to Siemens. Britain's last remaining

:08:39.:08:42.

train manufacturer lost out. Labour says it puts up to 20,000 jobs at

:08:42.:08:45.

risk. Our transport correspondent Paul Clifton is here. Talk us

:08:45.:08:47.

through this, because 20,000 jobs sounds like a very big number

:08:48.:08:50.

indeed. Last month, the Government awarded

:08:50.:08:53.

the contract for a new generation of Thameslink trains to the German

:08:53.:08:57.

company Siemens. Here is what they will look like. The Department for

:08:57.:09:00.

Transport says these trains offer the best value for money. But the

:09:00.:09:04.

loser was Britain's last remaining train builder in Derby. It could

:09:04.:09:09.

lose a couple of thousand jobs. But there would be many more in the

:09:09.:09:11.

supply chain, the people who make thousands of different parts for

:09:12.:09:17.

the trains. Labour reckons 20,000 British jobs are at risk. So the

:09:17.:09:19.

Southampton MP and Shadow Business Secretary John Denham has written

:09:19.:09:26.

to the Prime Minister asking him to think again.

:09:26.:09:30.

I want them to review this decision, to question whether it was right,

:09:30.:09:34.

and then to get into serious negotiations about the future

:09:34.:09:39.

delivery of these contracts, we debut, fairly, to getting as much

:09:39.:09:45.

for UK manufacturing as they possibly can. -- with a view.

:09:45.:09:48.

Brighton has needed new trains for a long time. This process was

:09:48.:09:50.

actually drawn up by Labour, not the Conservatives?

:09:50.:09:53.

Yes, this tender for trains was Labour's project. It was once

:09:53.:09:56.

called Thameslink 2000, because that was the year it was meant to

:09:56.:10:01.

finish. No where near, is it? These old ones will be refurbished and

:10:01.:10:05.

moved to Reading. John Denham's point is this: Under EU rules, all

:10:05.:10:08.

European bidders for a British contract must be treated equally.

:10:08.:10:11.

But look at Germany. All the trains there are built in Germany. Look at

:10:11.:10:19.

France. All the trains are French. It is the same in Spain and Italy.

:10:19.:10:22.

Here, we have trains from Germany, France, Spain, and Japan. Do we

:10:22.:10:25.

interpret the rules differently here? We invented railways in this

:10:25.:10:31.

country. But, tomorrow morning, our last remaining train builder is

:10:31.:10:38.

going to make a big announcement about its future. I don't know what

:10:38.:10:41.

it is, but I do think it will involve thousands of job losses.

:10:41.:10:49.

We will watch with interest and have bad news tomorrow. -- that

:10:49.:10:59.
:10:59.:11:08.

A big row is breaking out in West Sussex over a small stretch of

:11:08.:11:11.

country path. The long distance Liphook to Chichester path is

:11:11.:11:20.

barricaded off near Midhurst due to a development. The South Downs

:11:20.:11:23.

Society says the changes have been pushed three.

:11:24.:11:33.
:11:34.:11:36.

It is a beautiful road. I am sure we will find a solution.

:11:36.:11:39.

A new 700-place park and ride scheme for football fans going to

:11:39.:11:41.

the new Falmer Stadium has been given council approval. Brighton

:11:41.:11:45.

and Hove Albion move to the stadium in time for the new football season.

:11:45.:11:48.

Planners have given consent for the use of car parks at Brighton

:11:48.:11:50.

racecourse. A fleet of eight double-decker buses will run

:11:50.:11:53.

between there and Falmer. It is thought 2,000 spectators would use

:11:53.:11:55.

the service during matches. Still to come in this evening's

:11:55.:11:57.

South Today: Find out later why this young

:11:57.:12:03.

golfer has a new discovered a lease of life.

:12:03.:12:07.

There is concern amongst farmers in Hampshire about the spread of TB in

:12:07.:12:11.

cattle. It comes after a number of animals had to be slaughtered after

:12:11.:12:14.

testing positive for the disease. It is a part of the country which

:12:14.:12:17.

has not previously had a problem. But the tests are not 100% accurate.

:12:18.:12:20.

Last week we reported how farmers in Dorset, where the disease is

:12:21.:12:23.

more prevalent, were calling for a cull of badgers. Badger protection

:12:23.:12:29.

groups disagree about the need for a cull. Jo Kent reports.

:12:29.:12:33.

A herd of dairy cows being tested for bovine TB. The tests are

:12:33.:12:36.

routine in this low-risk part of Hampshire every four years, but in

:12:36.:12:40.

March one of this herd tested positive. Others were found to be

:12:40.:12:47.

borderline cases. The farmer did not want to be interviewed on

:12:47.:12:52.

camera, but this is a worrying time. Three of his head have had to be

:12:52.:12:55.

slaughtered, although subsequent investigations showed no trace of

:12:55.:12:59.

the disease. The testing is only 80% accurate but in the meantime

:12:59.:13:03.

the farmers effectively closed down, he is unable to sell any of these

:13:03.:13:09.

cards, which has financial cost and great emotional stress. To get back

:13:09.:13:12.

on track, a farm which has had a positive result will have to pass

:13:12.:13:15.

two more tests 60 days apart. The testing and compensation for

:13:15.:13:18.

farmers who have animals slaughtered all comes at a cost -

:13:18.:13:22.

around �100 million of taxpayers' money a year. 32,000 cattle were

:13:22.:13:26.

slaughtered because of bovine TB last year. The figure was just

:13:26.:13:30.

6,000 ten years ago. Farmer Neil Cutler used to head up the animal

:13:30.:13:33.

health branch of the National Farmer's Union, and is worried

:13:33.:13:36.

about the spread of the disease. Like many farmers, he supports a

:13:36.:13:45.

badger cull. We have got healthy badgers here, as far as we know, in

:13:45.:13:49.

most parts of Hampshire, probably all of Hampshire, and we would like

:13:49.:13:54.

it to stay that way. We have never been talking about a national cull

:13:54.:13:58.

of badgers, we have been talking about a targeted cull in certain

:13:58.:14:02.

areas to reduce the load of the disease in that area and enable

:14:02.:14:04.

cattle controls to work as well. However, animal rights campaigners

:14:04.:14:11.

believe it is unnecessary. Badgers are on the fringe of this, by far

:14:11.:14:15.

the major contribution will be made by the cattle controls that the

:14:15.:14:19.

government has already put in and intensified. A vaccine for bovine

:14:19.:14:25.

TB would be the ideal solution, but that is still years away. Farmers

:14:25.:14:29.

want action now to stop it spreading.

:14:29.:14:32.

Wildlife conservationists in Dorset have begun a new scheme aimed at

:14:32.:14:34.

encouraging dog owners to keep their animals under control during

:14:34.:14:40.

the ground nesting season for birds. A similar move several years ago in

:14:40.:14:45.

the New Forest resulted in protests from dog walkers. So will this one,

:14:45.:14:48.

which is intended to be less authoritarian, work for the

:14:48.:14:53.

heathland in Dorset? Chris Coneybeer reports.

:14:53.:14:58.

Not long now and the season will be over, but a few birds are still

:14:58.:15:02.

making nests on the ground in the hope of raising some of spring.

:15:02.:15:06.

Lapwings, nightjars and the Dartford warbler among them. It is

:15:06.:15:11.

a tough job with predators like crows and foxes around, and other

:15:11.:15:17.

dangers, especially dogs. A few years ago in the New Forest,

:15:17.:15:21.

docking stones were -- dog free zones were proposed for when the

:15:21.:15:25.

birds were vulnerable. The plan was to close some car parks to

:15:25.:15:28.

discourage people from using certain areas but the suggestion

:15:29.:15:32.

caused outrage. Dog owners thought the Forest should be open to their

:15:32.:15:37.

pets. Now, in Dorset, they are trying to tackle the same problem

:15:37.:15:42.

with a new initiative. Signs are going up. It is a traffic light

:15:42.:15:46.

system. Green means dogs can run free, amber, they must be on a lead,

:15:46.:15:51.

and red means banned. Bed numbers have been declining over the years,

:15:51.:15:57.

so we are trying to help protect them -- bird numbers. A dog running

:15:57.:16:02.

through the heathland can frighten the birds, and if they disturb them

:16:02.:16:04.

enough times they will be frightened and wait. But success

:16:05.:16:10.

depends on the reaction of dog owners. -- frightened away. I am

:16:10.:16:13.

used to walking my dog without a lead, so it will be annoying, but

:16:13.:16:18.

if it is to protect birds, it is worth it. Would you put your dog on

:16:18.:16:24.

a lead he saw the sign? No. I would keep my dog under control, but he

:16:24.:16:28.

does not like going on a lead. the open heathland, the signs are

:16:28.:16:33.

being rolled out. At the nearby nature reserve they are already in

:16:33.:16:43.
:16:43.:16:46.

place and generally being reserved -- being respected.

:16:46.:16:49.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - you will know him as creator of the master

:16:49.:16:54.

sleuth Sherlock Holmes. What you may not know is that he was also a

:16:54.:16:57.

one-time Surrey resident. This is where he lived from 1897 to 1907 -

:16:57.:17:00.

Undershaw House, an Edwardian villa at Hindhead. But now a plan to

:17:00.:17:03.

convert the building into nine townhouses has ended up in the

:17:03.:17:07.

courts. On one side, Waverley Borough Council. On the other, a

:17:07.:17:12.

Conan Doyle enthusiast who is funding the legal battle himself.

:17:12.:17:19.

Sarah-Jane Bungay explains. "An endless sea of greenery, ranges

:17:19.:17:22.

of hills piling up, one behind the other, in undulations of varying

:17:22.:17:29.

blue". The view which inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to create his

:17:29.:17:33.

literary magic at Undershaw remains the same. But the house where he

:17:33.:17:35.

penned classics like The Hound Of The Baskervilles has changed

:17:35.:17:43.

somewhat. What we would like to see is these major rooms retained

:17:43.:17:47.

broadly in their current form. Derelict for several years, the

:17:47.:17:51.

council says its decision to grant permission for a conversion into

:17:51.:17:56.

townhouses at least secures the building's future. Or timidly, the

:17:56.:18:01.

building does need to have the use, I am happy for people to live in it

:18:01.:18:05.

to maintain it. We are concerned that any of the use did not seem

:18:05.:18:09.

viable, so we thought this was the best use to protect the building

:18:09.:18:13.

and give it a good future. Those fighting to keep it as it is to

:18:13.:18:18.

have some high-profile backing. The actor Stephen Fry have said -- has

:18:18.:18:22.

said if the house is divided up, it will be foolish, short-sighted and

:18:23.:18:29.

nothing less than wanton vandalism. John Gibson is a passionate man.

:18:29.:18:31.

Changing it substantially and denying the public any future

:18:31.:18:34.

access would, in his eyes, be the ultimate crime. He is taking

:18:34.:18:37.

Waverley Borough Council to the High Court, arguing they acted

:18:37.:18:41.

unlawfully in granting the planning permission. It's an action he is

:18:41.:18:48.

funding alone. By a am not a rich man, this will hurt me financially

:18:48.:18:55.

but I consider it an honour to take this case. It will be an absolute

:18:55.:18:59.

disgrace, it would be a terrible loss. With so many twists and turns

:18:59.:19:02.

in the story of this house, Sherlock Holmes himself may have

:19:02.:19:12.
:19:12.:19:16.

struggled to solve the mystery of what will ultimately happen to it.

:19:16.:19:21.

On to sport, Roger is here. I have not said this for a long time, but

:19:21.:19:26.

let's start with football. How long to go? It is a month and two Day.

:19:26.:19:32.

thought it was less than a month. It comes around quickly. Brighton

have smashed their transfer record, moving to a new stadium.

:19:43.:19:45.

For 31 years, Brighton's transfer record stood at half a million

:19:45.:19:48.

pounds for Andy Ritchie in 1980. Last month, they finally broke that,

:19:48.:19:51.

signing Will Buckley from Watford for a million. They are not putting

:19:51.:19:54.

a figure on the deal to sign 27- year-old striker Craig Mackail-

:19:54.:19:57.

Smith from Peterborough, but it is understood to be around �3 million.

:19:57.:20:00.

He has signed a four-year contract today and, for the second time in

:20:01.:20:04.

the space of a few weeks, they have smashed a decades-old club record.

:20:04.:20:06.

Mackail-Smith posed at Albion's brand new Amex Stadium, as if to

:20:07.:20:10.

underline the club's burgeoning ambitions.

:20:10.:20:13.

It is an exciting thing for me to come here. The way they play, they

:20:13.:20:18.

create chances, and as a striker you want to be in a team that

:20:18.:20:21.

creates chances. To get to the Premiership is the ultimate aim,

:20:21.:20:24.

and I feel Brighton are pushing back and I want to be involved in

:20:24.:20:29.

that. A cracking player as well, and apparently West Ham were also

:20:29.:20:32.

interested in him, so well done to Brighton.

:20:32.:20:34.

Portsmouth's players returned to training this morning after their

:20:34.:20:37.

summer break with the need for new faces obvious to anyone watching.

:20:37.:20:40.

Pompey only had nine professionals on the training pitch. There are

:20:40.:20:43.

three more still to return, so a starting eleven and one substitute

:20:43.:20:45.

for the new Championship season. But with the new owners Convers

:20:45.:20:48.

Sports Initiatives now in place, the Pompey boss is hoping for a

:20:48.:20:51.

brisk recruitment drive. Although you will notice he is choosing his

:20:51.:20:56.

words carefully. We need to fulfil our scored a

:20:56.:21:05.

little bit more, really. -- our squad. We know that. It is ongoing.

:21:05.:21:09.

It has been busy all summer. A lot of the deals are there, lined up,

:21:09.:21:17.

really. It is just, you know, down to getting them across the line.

:21:17.:21:22.

He has got a lot on his my. One match under way in the

:21:22.:21:26.

cricket's 2020 competition this evening. Cricket -- Sussex have

:21:26.:21:36.

gone off like a train -- sorry have gone off like a train. Steve Davis

:21:36.:21:39.

is currently 65 not out. Finally, a young golfer who puts

:21:39.:21:42.

hackers like me to shame! Leo Millar has developed into a

:21:42.:21:45.

talented player, even though he was born with only one hand. Now, a

:21:45.:21:48.

Dorset company has invented a new prosthetic which could help him

:21:48.:21:55.

improve his game even more. Dani Like most ten-year-olds, Leo is

:21:55.:22:01.

into his sport. Born with one hand, he has had to adapt the way he does

:22:01.:22:04.

things. Karate was his first love. Now a brown belt, he is two levels

:22:05.:22:07.

away from getting his black one. And his progression is partly due

:22:08.:22:13.

to a specially designed prosthetic. But when it comes to playing golf,

:22:13.:22:18.

that design won't do. Leo needs a grip that allows him to swing with

:22:18.:22:21.

both hands. And it is in this Dorset workshop where engineers

:22:21.:22:31.

have come up with the bionic solution. It changes their lives.

:22:31.:22:35.

Leo would never be able to play golf at a competitive level without

:22:35.:22:39.

this device, so it actually puts him on a level playing field with

:22:39.:22:43.

everybody else. It completely changes his life. Presented with

:22:43.:22:45.

this bespoke hand grip, Leo's dreams of becoming a professional

:22:45.:22:51.

golfer have moved a step closer. feel very happy that I have got a

:22:51.:22:56.

hand now, because I can do a lot more with it. Hopefully it will

:22:56.:23:01.

change my life, now I can get money by playing golf and give some to my

:23:01.:23:04.

family and made them a lot better. Like his swing, this young

:23:04.:23:09.

sportsman's drive is at the heart of everything he does. Leo is

:23:09.:23:13.

special. He is truly special because of his attitude. I have

:23:13.:23:17.

never said to him, go and do something, and he has come back and

:23:17.:23:21.

said, I can't do it. Whatever I give him, he will find a way of

:23:21.:23:30.

doing it. Aiming high. Could this be the Rory McIlroy of the future?

:23:30.:23:35.

What a guy, extremely talented. Good look. I hope it goes well for

:23:35.:23:41.

him. -- good luck. It returned to our main story, one

:23:41.:23:45.

person has been killed after two light aircraft collided over

:23:45.:23:50.

Shoreham in Sussex this afternoon. Tony Husband is there for us. What

:23:50.:23:56.

can you tell us? What developments? Salih, we are hoping to hear from

:23:56.:23:59.

the officer in charge at the Recreation Ground just close to

:23:59.:24:04.

Shoreham town-centre in the next few minutes to update us on what

:24:04.:24:07.

happened at 4:30pm This afternoon a couple of hundred yards from a

:24:07.:24:10.

children's play area. Two light aircraft are believed to have

:24:11.:24:15.

collided in mid-air. It is thought one of them was taking off from

:24:15.:24:20.

nearby Shoreham Airport, one of the aircraft crashed into this

:24:20.:24:24.

Recreation Ground, the other managed to make a shake -- a safe

:24:24.:24:26.

landing at Shoreham Airport. The pilot of the plane that crashed

:24:26.:24:33.

here behind the was declared dead at the scene, no injuries from any

:24:33.:24:38.

people who saw the incident on the ground. We had a lot of eyewitness

:24:38.:24:42.

reports. A massive police operation has now begun, coastguard

:24:42.:24:45.

helicopters were scrambled, life boat as well have been searching

:24:46.:24:51.

the nearby river from all parts of the wreckage. This is a huge police

:24:51.:24:55.

operation, many roads have been closer banned the area so it will

:24:55.:24:59.

be difficult for people getting in and out of Shoreham tonight -- many

:24:59.:25:03.

roads have been closed around the area. We are hoping to get more

:25:04.:25:08.

information, but one person has been killed after two light

:25:08.:25:10.

aircraft crashed near Shoreham Airport.

:25:11.:25:16.

Tony, thank you very much. We will have more on that in the late news

:25:16.:25:25.

Straight onto the weather, them. Yes, it has been a lovely day and

:25:25.:25:28.

it will continue for part of the day tomorrow but then it turns

:25:29.:25:34.

unsettled. We have low-pressure moving in from the Atlantic. Today

:25:34.:25:40.

in Oxfordshire we saw 24 Celsius. Tomorrow it will drop four degrees

:25:40.:25:45.

down to 20 Celsius. Temperatures this week will start to slide away.

:25:45.:25:49.

A dry night, increasing cloud cover in the morning, particularly the

:25:49.:25:54.

further west you are. Where we have clear skies, temperatures was a

:25:54.:26:00.

mild, in double figures. In some countryside areas, expect lows of

:26:00.:26:06.

13, 14 Celsius. You can see the rain behind me arriving in Dorset

:26:06.:26:12.

late morning, 10am, 11am, spreading towards the east throughout the day.

:26:12.:26:17.

There will be some respite, temperatures at their highest the

:26:17.:26:21.

further west you are. Temperatures will start falling away with the

:26:21.:26:25.

rain rattling its way through. Clearing tomorrow night followed by

:26:25.:26:31.

a few showers, which may be heavy in some places. One or two clear

:26:31.:26:34.

spells, but temperatures will stay mild yet again, so another

:26:34.:26:38.

uncomfortable night for sleeping. On Wednesday, a couple of showers

:26:38.:26:42.

drifting around and another band of rain waiting in the wings of their

:26:42.:26:46.

stay, which will be a mixture of sun is bows and scattered showers,

:26:46.:26:52.

and the winners will start to pick up speed, -- sunny spells. As we

:26:52.:26:57.

head to Friday, low-pressure still in charge, not going anywhere

:26:57.:27:01.

quickly, various weather fronts heading our way, which could be

:27:01.:27:07.

heavy in places. The rest of the week will be unsettled, sunny

:27:07.:27:13.

spells and scattered showers. A dry start for eastern areas tomorrow

:27:13.:27:18.

will allow temperatures to rise to around 23 Celsius. Under the cloud

:27:18.:27:22.

and in the rain, temperatures into the high teens. It will not be as

:27:22.:27:27.

warm as it was at the weekend, and the winds will pick up speed, with

:27:27.:27:32.
