Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's | :00:01. | :00:04. | |
programme: He was murdered for money. A life sentence for the | :00:04. | :00:13. | |
woman who confessed to the killing her pensioner partner. A reached | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
out and hit him over their head and killed him. | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
A three million pound credit card bill, but why is the police agency | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
spending it on lingerie and a beehive? | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
Red tape for septic tanks. Homeowners face a problem that | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
won't soak away. And tuned in - how a famous radio | :00:30. | :00:40. | |
:00:40. | :00:43. | ||
station is helping to keep these Bill Williamson knew that the new | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
woman in his life might only be interested in him for his money. | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
But, as he told a friend, it was a risk he was prepared to take rather | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
than spend his declining years on his own. What he didn't know was | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
that Ann Browning was so keen to get her hands on his money she was | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
prepared to commit murder. Today she was given a life sentence for | :01:03. | :01:13. | |
:01:13. | :01:19. | ||
I just grabbed it and hit him with that and killed him. A confession | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
to murder, but even this was half the story that police got from Anne | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
Browning last October. The man she admitted killing, Bill Williamson, | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
some 29 years his senior, was besotted with her. But she was | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
sharing a home with her estranged husband Tony as they try to | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
rekindle their marriage. The two men had an uneasy first meeting. | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
There was a knock on the door and I Segel are you, I said I am an's | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
husband. What are you doing here? He said, I am supposed to be her | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
boyfriend. I said, I am moving out. I know nothing about this. He was | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
very upset. He just walked off to his car. She always had a dark side | :02:09. | :02:17. | |
to her. Nothing would surprise you. She had a dark side. A few secrets. | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
Bill thought he had found a soulmate. Neighbours would struggle | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
to win four of the lonely widow where in activities on their area, | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
but were surprised at that things had a ballad like this. The fact he | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
handed over his life and organisation to this lady and said | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
he gave his property because he we just need some money, we were | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
surprised about that. After that, we did not see him any more. There | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
was no connection. Everybody wondered what had happened to him. | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
His home had been sold just hours before the pensioner was bludgeoned | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
to death. They didn't take much longer for her, senior and CCTV, to | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
begin using his bank cards to use the profits from the house sale. | :03:09. | :03:19. | |
:03:19. | :03:20. | ||
His body was found in an Browning's back garden. She was very | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
calculating and did everything she could to hide his death at her | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
hands. Through the hard reckoned diligence of the team, we | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
unravelled the lies and proved this was financially motivated. It was | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
her own words that convinced the judge that this was a pre-planned | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
murder. On the day at the killing, she had written just three letters, | :03:42. | :03:52. | |
:03:52. | :03:57. | ||
are ripe peach. RIP. She will not be released from prison until she | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
is almost 80 years old. A teenager who survived Friday's | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
Polar bear attack in Norway is in a stable condition at Southampton | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
General hospital. 16-year-old Patrick Flinder, who lives in the | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
channel island, was flown into the city last night. He had surgery in | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
Norway to remove some of the animal's teeth from his skull. | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
Sarah Holmes reports. Safe and back home in the UK, | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
Patrick Flinders was flown to Southampton last night after an | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
operation in Norway removed a polar bear teeth from his head. He slept | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
in the same tent as Horatio Chapple, the Salisbury teenager's bed died | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
in the incident. Today, Patrick is recovering in hospital and his | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
family are relieved that their son is safe. It has been very lucky for | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
Patrick, but not for ratio, so why do not want you be all excited | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
about it, because there are parents whose child is dead, he was only 17. | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
My only worry is that it will not be the physical state, but his | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
mental state. Something like that, I don't know. This wildlife | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
cameraman has had over 50 encounters with polar bears filming | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
for the BBC. As long as you have available weaponry for a worse case | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
scenarios and your vigilant, then you can reduce your chances. Your | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
chances of a close encounter. rest of the group is due back in | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
the UK today, while the investigation by Norwegian police | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
continues. The Ministry of Defence has | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
announced that the body of a Royal Marine from Weymouth will be flown | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
home from Afghanistan on Thursday. Marine James Wright from 42 | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
Commando, died after a grenade attack at a checkpoint last Friday. | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
His family said they were proud of him and he was described as a hero | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
by his former school, where flags flew half mast. | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
A Police training college in Hampshire has been criticised for | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
contributing to a three million pounds a year credit card bill | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
which is funded by the taxpayer. Bramshill Police College near | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
Basingstoke is part of the National Policing Improvement Agency. Among | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
the items bought were luxury lingerie and a beehive. Ed Sherry | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
joins me in the studio now, Ed what's been going on? | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
Now we've all got credit cards these days Sally, this one is given | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
to civil servants, and paid for by the tax-payer. It's a quick way of | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
buying things that otherwise they would be claimed on expenses. The | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
Police training college near Basingstoke is part of the National | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
Police Improvement Agency. They've come under fire today for | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
contributing to the bill. They spent nearly �2,000 on a beehive. | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
And �1,200 on a lawn mower. Both bought to develop a kitchen garden | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
at the college. But other more unusual items have also been | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
highlighted. Among the other headline grabbing items nationally | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
was the bill for lingerie. That was was just over �80. That was | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
justified as being needed for crime scene training based on a sexual | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
assault inquiry. An investigation into the spend has now been | :06:55. | :07:05. | |
:07:05. | :07:07. | ||
launched. The spend in the year in question was about �3.6 million, by | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
2011, it was down to �2.6 million. Expect to spend �1.5 million this | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
year. This doesn't look good for an | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
organisation supposed to be promoting efficiency? No. Spending | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
might be coming down, but MP's are still demanding further action. | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
agency needs to look at his own culture and attitude towards | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
spending taxpayers' money. We need to have a formal investigation and | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
these cards should be audited very rigorously because it is quite | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
wrong that taxpayers' money is wasted in this way. | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
But this could be called too little too late, the NPIA are in fact one | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
of organisations that will be phased out from next year as part | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
of the government's spending cuts. Thank you. | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
Problem with the air traffic control centre in Hampshire caused | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
delays this morning with air traffic services saying that the | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
automatic flight planning system failed. Controllers used strips of | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
paper instead to manage aircraft. Gatwick and Southampton said that | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
flights were delayed by up to an hour. The system was repaired by | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
mid-morning. They're normally kept well hidden | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
away and not usually the topic of polite conversation, but septic | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
tanks have suddenly become the centre of heated argument in rural | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
areas across the south. It's all because an obscure piece of | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
legislation enacted last year requires all owners of septic tanks | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
to register them by the end of the year. Roger Finn's been getting to | :08:32. | :08:40. | |
the bottom of the story. There are some 300,000 septic tanks | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
in Britain, usually in rural areas beyond the sewage system. Every | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
single one of them were now have to be registered to tighten control on | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
water pollution. Dennis had no idea of this until he saw a story in his | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
local paper. They should give us a pamphlet and a letter, stating what | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
we should do wind what we shouldn't do. Stating how we should go about | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
registering and what is the difference between a septic tank | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
and a cesspit, because I am sure that a lot of people do not know. | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
SS but which is fully enclosed does not have to be registered. Septic | :09:20. | :09:27. | |
tanks take household excellent, satellite and discharged the | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
affluent waste. -- has sold affluent. Houses by boreholes will | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
need a licence costing �125. The Environment Agency says that it is | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
not properly maintained, a septic tank can pollute water supplies, | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
rivers, bathing waters and sensitive conservation sites. The | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
new regulation will require owners to have been maintained. The teams | :09:52. | :09:59. | |
that MD the septic tanks know that there are bad results due neglect. | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
-- that empty septic tanks. All of the worms and everything would be | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
active, some people think you do not have to do and thing to this. | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
This is not right, you can get different moving to the top of the | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
ground. Septic tank owners have until the end of the year to | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
register. You'll all recognise this - instant | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
coffee. It's freeze dried so we avoid all the inconvenience of | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
having to make the real thing. Now a similar technique could herald a | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
big leap forward in the world of medicine. A small Winchester | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
company, Biopharma, is working on a method to freeze dry blood to | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
prolong its shelf life. Andrew Giddings reports. | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
The life of a soldier hangs in the balance. Freeze-drying has its | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
roots in the blood, it is used in World War Two to transport and | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
store plasma. Decades later, problems with red blood cells that | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
are too delicate to survive the freeze-dried process, but with help | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
of government grants, Santas in Winchester are run the edge of a | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
breakthrough. Some of the blood cells are prone to freezing and | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
trying, so it is difficult to process them. By carefully freeze- | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
drying them with various solutions and be careful about reconstituting | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
them, begin show how we get most of the blood cells intact after this | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
process. Here it is, freeze dried blood. This is a sheep's blood | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
which is used in the experiment because it be is in much the same | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
way as humans blood. But why go to all this trouble? Human blood needs | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
refrigeration and even then a Dhoni has a sav Live Earth 35 days. A | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
process like this would make it lighter and storable at room | :11:46. | :11:56. | |
:11:56. | :11:56. | ||
temperature. in war-zone then disaster areas, this could be a | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
life-saver. We had these tsunami where there was no electricity or | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
capacity to store blood. It would be great to have that blood | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
available at an ambient temperature. You can reconstitute it and give it | :12:11. | :12:18. | |
to be patient. This is complex and delicate science. It could be a | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
long time before this is finally usable and hospitals. | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
A horse has been rescued by fire crews in Dorset after falling into | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
a swimming pool. 25-year-old Apollo escaped from his field in Motcombe | :12:29. | :12:36. | |
near Shaftesbury and fell through the cover of the pool. He was stuck | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
in a metre of water that had to be pumped out by crews, before he was | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
led up a ramp to safety. The animal was treated for minor injuries to | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
his back legs. A woman is to command a frontline | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
warship for the first time in the Royal Navy's five hundred year | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
history. Lieutenant Commander Sarah West will take control of HMS | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
Portland next April. The 39-year- old will be in charge of 185 crew | :12:56. | :13:05. | |
members. Still to come today, Roger Johnson | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
is at Cowes Week on the water. is the third day of the world's | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
largest sailing regatta and a brand new era for Cowes Week, but some | :13:14. | :13:22. | |
things never change! Now some farmers play classical | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
music to their cows to help boost milk production. Well it turns out | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
that the swans at Abbotsbury are partial to a bit of Radio Four - | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
not for enjoyment but for protection from foxes. It seems a | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
bit of cunning is needed to keep the wiley predator at bay. Sarah | :13:38. | :13:47. | |
:13:48. | :13:48. | ||
Falmer is down at the Swannery - so how does this work? | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
Well, it is supper time here at the lake, and the swans are getting | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
ready for bed. When they go to bed, the dulcet tones of BBC Radio 4 | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
take the foxes away, and here is David Wheeler to tell me more. How | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
does it actually work? As to meet you, thank you for coming year, at | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
night time, the foxes are a risk to the cygnets in particular. Years | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
ago, a chicken farmer came to visit and he said he accidentally let his | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
radio on one night and didn't lose a chicken, so in his own words, BBC | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
Radio 4 is so boring, foxes will go nowhere near it! It is nothing to | :14:30. | :14:38. | |
do with the content, is it? No, it is because of the voices on the | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
radio all night, and the foxes think that there are people here. | :14:42. | :14:51. | |
And we have had no foxes coming here since we have used these. It | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
works for us and we are delighted to have it. While the swans get | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
ready to listen to the shipping forecast, I will be preparing the | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
weather forecast a little later on for you in the programme. | :15:03. | :15:10. | |
Thank you. Are looking pretty breezy down there. Perfect weather | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
for Cowes Week, thousands of sailors are going down to the Isle | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
of Wight for this world famous regatta. Not as good news for the | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
weather also good news because this year they have got a sponsor once | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
again. Roger Johnson is there for us at the start of Cowes Week and | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
will be there all week, could sailing today no doubt? | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
Yes, very good sailing. It was breezy and gusty on the water, so | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
lively for a lot of the boats. One of the boats sounded a bit too | :15:41. | :15:48. | |
lively. We have a sponsor now after two years without one, so as far as | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
this sailing regatta is concerned, it is a brownie beginning. | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
And you look to Cowes Week this year and a new buzz about the town. | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
Fresh investment has invigorated an event that has struggled to balance | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
the books in recent years. We put on a great event for competitors | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
and spectators. On the surface they probably didn't see much difference | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
but behind the scenes the struggle to keep it going. It was hard to | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
keep that going for much longer. There was never any doubt that the | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
regatta would happen, but it might have been changing nature and snout | :16:25. | :16:33. | |
we can drive it on to the next level. Skandia finished their | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
support for the regatta in 2008. The new title sponsor, Aberdeen | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
assets Management continues the link with finance. We want is | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
supported as much as possible and hope to move Cowes Week for word. | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
But many people will be participating, as many as possible, | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
but it is not just about what happens on the boat it is about be | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
sure as well. The sailors are already noticing the fresh | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
investment. It is security for the town and the event and for the | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
sailors. There has been a reduction in the entry fee, lots of little | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
things have improved. I think we see a future in the future of the | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
event. Cowes Week isn't as elitist as it once was and the largest | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
regatta is keen to attract new savers. But privately, officials | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
are determined that being inclusive shouldn't lead a downmarket. | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
A successful first few days for the new sponsor, and they have a boat | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
sailing in the extreme 40 series that runs with Cowes Week. They get | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
very close to the shore and it gets quite lively, but a bit too lively | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
for the Aberdeen Asset Management entry today. It capsize at the | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
extreme 40s. It still draws quite a crowd. That is what we're trying to | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
do with the Olympic sailing which is happening in Weymouth and | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
Portland next year. One final sailing line and it is very well | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
done, down in Weymouth and Portland to Alex Rickham and her partner | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
Nicky Birrell, they are selected for the Paralympics. | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
With just over a year to go until the opening ceremony of the | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
Paralympic Games, the first sailors have been selected for the GB Squad. | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
Among them are Alex Rickham from Surrey and her crewmate Nicky | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
Birrell. In July they won gold in the SKUD Class at the Disabled | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
World Championships for the third successive time. | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
Two big football transfers tonight. Reading striker Shane Long is | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
thought to be in talks with West Brom over a �6 million transfer. | :18:33. | :18:40. | |
That move is yet to be finalised. Alex Chamberlain has finally joined | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
Arsenal. Southampton will receive more than 12.5 million for the 17 | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
year old winger who's been chased by the Gunners for months. Saints | :18:45. | :18:55. | |
:18:55. | :18:56. | ||
held out for a club record fee for the player. Southampton have done | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
really well, they played hardball and got in excess of 12 1/2 million | :19:01. | :19:08. | |
pounds. A great bit of business for them. He is on his way and has gone | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
to Arsenal. He did not play at the weekend, Southampton didn't really | :19:12. | :19:22. | |
:19:22. | :19:26. | ||
miss him. Brighton fans Asher did a new era | :19:26. | :19:30. | |

Great scenes after 14 years, football is back in Brighton. | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
Southampton back in the championship and they looked at | :19:58. | :20:07. | |
home and sweeping past Leeds United. Leeds are tough. That was a tough | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
game today. We scold two very good goals. Disappointed so we didn't | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
keep a clean sheet but a valuable two points and it would be very | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
competitive in this division. Portsmouth had a draw at | :20:22. | :20:31. | |
:20:32. | :20:37. | ||

tonight at Hove. Hampshire booked their place in the competition | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
despite a chaotic start to their game with Durham, Shahid Afridi was | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
run out in the first over without facing a ball. 56 from Neil | :21:53. | :21:55. | |

in Birmingham at the end of the month. Labour have more sport from | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
Cowes Week tomorrow evening. -- we will have more sport. Let's have | :22:20. | :22:30. | |
:22:30. | :22:33. | ||
Thank you. We would be treating about that tonight! Let's hope Tony | :22:33. | :22:42. | |
will be the same tomorrow! Next year would be a busy year, | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
2012, we have the Olympics. The UK's first statue of Charles | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
Dickens will be erected in Portsmouth next year, to mark the | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
bicentenary of his birth. The most popular English writer of the | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
Victorian era spent his early years in the city. Now four miniature | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
versions of the proposed statue have gone on display to the public | :23:00. | :23:10. | |
:23:10. | :23:19. | ||
A master of prose, a genius of weight and an observer of society. | :23:19. | :23:26. | |
So, which small statute represents the great man. He would be very | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
humbled and touched, that his work is to resonating so strongly and | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
his message is resonating so strongly. He would hate anything | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
that was pompous or overstated or grant. Some grandiose Victorian, I | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
think we should celebrate his energy and the clearers and clarity | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
of his message. These four statues are currently on display at the | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
Portsmouth library. They had been created by two artists, one from | :23:56. | :24:03. | |
Andover and one from Oxford. One will be chosen for a full-scale | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
statue next month. A lot has to be taken into account, where it would | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
be in the Square, technical things that have to be considered, | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
financial things. But most of four, the artistic, which will have the | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
most perfect for Dickens and which will have the most effect for | :24:19. | :24:26. | |
Portsmouth. The statue will cost around �120,000 and the funds are | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
one-third of the way there. When the statue is finished, it would be | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
in the Guildhall Square in time for the two hundredth birthday next | :24:34. | :24:43. | |
year. And he ran the programme next year, | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
we will have much more on the bicentenary of Charles Dickens, so | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
stay with us for that. Now, the weather. | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
Take a look at this great shot of Kimmeridge Bay taken today by | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
Heather Snow. A rather cute dog called Poppy catching some sunshine. | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
And a few threatening clouds won't put off the beach goers. Thanks to | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
Alex Pilgrim for that photo of the Swanage seaside. | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
Keep your photographs coming in. Now, the weather. Let's go back to | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
the swans and Sarah is there. They are supposed to be listening to BBC | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
Radio 4, to keep the foxes away. I can tell you at the moment, on BBC | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
Radio 4, just a minute, so can you do the weather without hesitation, | :25:29. | :25:38. | |
deviation or repetition, just a A beautiful day today, a bit breezy. | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
We have had some cloud across the region as you can see on the | :25:42. | :25:51. | |
satellite, so sunny intervals. A few showers around. The showers | :25:51. | :25:57. | |
will fade away and the wind is likely to die down as well. Things | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
becoming much camera. And through the overnight period, the cloud | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
will melt away. Clear skies developing by the time we reach the | :26:06. | :26:16. | |
early hours. 10, 11 degrees in towns and cities. And maybe start | :26:16. | :26:23. | |
first thing tomorrow. Sunny spells for much of the mourning period. | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
During the day, the cloud will bubble up. More clout than sunshine | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
as we move into the afternoon. Still a pleasant stay with | :26:31. | :26:38. | |
temperatures reaching 21 degrees. Tomorrow, quiet and mild. Most | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
places staying dry. It will be broken cloud overhead at times. | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
Then through Wednesday, that is when the cloud will increase from | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
the north. A friend arriving. That will bring outbreaks of showery | :26:50. | :26:57. | |
brain. That probably into the evening period as lav. It will stay | :26:57. | :27:04. | |
with us through the evening. Persistent but not too heavy. Some | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
showery outbreaks during the course of the day. Into Friday cannot be | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
ended the week, not all doom and gloom. Brighter intervals. Some | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
showers at times but could sunny spells to enjoy. So, some beautiful | :27:19. | :27:25. |
