Welcome to self today. In the programme tonight: farewell to | :00:08. | :00:15. | |
Horatio. Tributes by family and friends to the teenager killed by a | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
polar bear in at No way. The war veteran who was not the hero he | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
claimed to be. Music, camping and preparing for the weather. | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
Thousands of festival-goers descend on Reading. And a dream date with | :00:31. | :00:41. | |
:00:41. | :00:43. | ||
The Doctor for children from Basingstoke. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
He was kind, helpful, funny, handsome, confident and loving. A | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
mother's tribute to her son Horatio Chapple at his funeral today. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
Almost a thousand mourners attended Salisbury Cathedral to say goodbye | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
to the 17-year-old who died on what should have been the adventure of a | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
lifetime. The Wiltshire teenager was one of a group of youngsters | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
camped on a remote Norweigan Island when they were attacked by a polar | :01:03. | :01:13. | |
:01:13. | :01:13. | ||
bear. The rain could not dampen the | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
spirit of a life well lived. Men in 1,000 came to celebrate a | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
magnificent young man who died so terribly, thousands of miles from | :01:22. | :01:29. | |
home. I get the impression of a young man he was full of life and | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
fun and adventure. I'd really get a sense of him as a young man with | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
his future before him, who had a lot of get up and go it and an | :01:39. | :01:47. | |
instinct for friendship. In side the cathedral, the focus was on | :01:47. | :01:56. | |
Horatio's white coffin. The service is now under way. Horatio's family | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
and friends at the centre of celebrating his life, especially | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
his brothers. One of them has written a song especially for the | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
service. In it is the line, you taught me everything I know. | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
Horatio, who wanted to be a doctor, was described as a fun-loving. He | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
was a seasoned traveller and had been to no port and climb the Alps. | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
Horatio lived a fault life. He stepped forward boldly and he would | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
have made that choice over and over again, to go and explore the world. | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
But the 17-year-old never returned from his most ambitious adventures. | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
He was killed by a polar bear on 5th August. There was some in the | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
congregation to day he worked with him on that final trip. After the | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
service, the clouds part it as Horatio and his family came out | :02:54. | :03:04. | |
:03:04. | :03:05. | ||
into the sun. He had this ability to make friends. He was very loyal. | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
He was obviously a very quiet and calm person and people gravitated | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
towards him. I think that is why people are feeling his last so | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
terribly. Horatio's mother wrote a letter to the congregation saying | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
that she was bursting with pride over his Arctic expedition. She | :03:26. | :03:36. | |
said he was ready for his future life. | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
Within the last few minutes we've just heard about a significant | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
incident at Loddon Battery recycling factory in Lasham. It's | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
being being described as a large emergency and around 60 | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
firefighters are at the scene. Eye witnesses has described thick black | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
smoke coming from the site and a series of possible explosions. We | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
understand a number of residents in the area have been evacuated. We'll | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
bring you more information as soon as we get it and in our late | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
bulletin at 10.25pm. Three people from Reading involved | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
in running a major cannabis-growing operation from rented houses across | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
Berkshire and Surrey have been jailed. Their activities involved | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
7,000 cannabis plants spread across more than 20 houses. Police said | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
the operation was valued at �20 million a year. Ajaz Asghar, | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
described as the kingpin of the business, was jailed for nine years | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
this lunchtime. His brother Fiyaz Asghar was given four years and | :04:34. | :04:44. | |
Hayley Ellison 18 months. A military historian from Berkshire | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
who faked an illustrious army career has been jailed for three | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
years after a court heard he suffered a disorder preventing him | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
telling fact from fiction. For decades John Livesey, known as Jack, | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
told friends, colleagues and his closest family that he had served | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
with distinction in the Parachute Regiment. He even claimed on his | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
website that he had advised production crews working on the | :05:00. | :05:10. | |
:05:10. | :05:18. | ||
films Saving Private Ryan and Band Jack Leigh-on-Sea built himself a | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
false life and a false persona. That is the view of his own defence | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
team. He said that he had taught in Northern Ireland and fought in the | :05:31. | :05:39. | |
Falklands. He said he even took part in a veteran's Day at Oxford. | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
It's is very difficult because you have got lots of happy memories and | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
sad memories. It is a day to come to terms with that particular war, | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
that incident in my life. But in fact he had served two years in the | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
catering corps and left in 1974. He's lies began to unravel 30 years | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
later when he was convicted of benefit fraud. At this time his | :06:04. | :06:14. | |
:06:14. | :06:19. | ||
military friends provided character references for him. However, | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
subsequent investigations revealed the truth and John Livesey was | :06:23. | :06:30. | |
sentenced for perverting the course of justice. The judge said it was a | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
serious offence and he had no option but to impose a custodial | :06:35. | :06:44. | |
sentence. This should serve as a deterrent and heavily proper | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
legislation will now be set up. The memories of soldiers had been | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
disgraced and it is clearly an insult to their efforts. He is | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
belittling the memory of the 255 who lost their lives 29 years ago. | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
Hopefully we will have no-one attempt to do this next year on our | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
30th anniversary. Tonight, John Livesey is beginning his jail term | :07:15. | :07:23. | |
and his once proud military reputation now lies in tatters. | :07:23. | :07:33. | |
:07:33. | :07:38. | ||
The Isle of Wight MP is asking for clarification to put only sex | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
offenders in prison on the island. What impact could it have? | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
Sex offenders could make up the Isle of Wight's entire prison | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
population. It is an idea being discussed by officials. HMP Isle of | :07:53. | :08:01. | |
Wight holds 1,700 inmates, spread across three sites. Having the | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
whole population opt sex offenders is causing concern. Now the Isle of | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
Wight MP Andrew Turner is calling for more information. We had been | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
in touch with the Minister. We are hoping for a response very shortly, | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
and we arranged a meeting with the governor at the Isle of Wight | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
prison. People have come to my surgery and had been expressing | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
their concern. We are trying to explain what is happening, in so | :08:31. | :08:41. | |
:08:41. | :08:42. | ||
far as we have no knowledge of it. The inmates here are made up of | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
about 50 % sex offenders. HMP Isle of Wight is being discussed as a | :08:49. | :08:57. | |
whole, but they're run no firm plans for the inmates just to be | :08:57. | :09:04. | |
sex offenders. The Isle of Wight prisons are noted for their sex | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
offender treatment programmes. They do help offenders come to terms | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
with their behaviour. It benefits the Isle of Wight to keep three | :09:15. | :09:25. | |
prisons open because it is a big employer. One of the problems of | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
putting sex offenders together is that they shared stories, | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
techniques and reinforce each other's twisted thinking about | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
children. In seems to be a topic many of the islanders are talking | :09:36. | :09:44. | |
about. A lady in McDonald's was talking about it. It is horrible. | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
It is fine, as long as they don't let them out here. It is not a good | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
idea. We have got a lot of children on the island. I am not happy about | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
it. It remains would not believe from a category B prison straight | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
into the community. However, these early discussions are already | :10:03. | :10:12. | |
proving controversial. The Red Arrows are due to fly back | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
to their base at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire tomorrow. The team | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
were due to fly back today, but bad weather has hampered the journey. | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
They are still at Bournemouth Airport after the fatal crash at | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
last Saturday's air show. And around 6,000 people have now | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
signed the six books of condolence for Flight Lieutenant Jon Egging, | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
the Red Arrows pilot who died after the air display. 500 people have | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
signed the book at Bournemouth Town Hall. The period in which people | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
can leave their messages has been extended until the end of next week. | :10:37. | :10:47. | |
Hundreds of floral tributes have also been left in the town centre. | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
Still to come this evening: it is a feeding frenzy for Alexis. | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
I hope this does not put you off your dinner. Find out later in the | :10:58. | :11:08. | |
:11:08. | :11:13. | ||
programme what I have been up to. Drivers are being warned of traffic | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
disruption over the bank holiday weekend as a 75 tonne steam | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
locomotive convoy started it's journey from Horsham to Tarrant | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
Hinton in Dorset this morning. The vehicles will be travelling at | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
around five miles per hour and expected to reach the Great Dorset | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
Steam Fair on Sunday. Routes affected are the A27, A36 and A354. | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
A team of explorers, two from Hampshire, have become the first | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
people to row to the magnetic North Pole using a special boat built by | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
a Dorset company. Rob Sleep and British Army officer Captain David | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
Man took just under four weeks to travel 450 miles, leaving Canada in | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
July. The group completed the trip to highlight the effects of climate | :11:45. | :11:54. | |
change on the polar ice cap. Daleks, cybermen, weeping angels | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
and zygons all do battle with the Doctor, who is back tomorrow night | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
in another adventure. Well now, young time lords from a Basingstoke | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
school have come face-to-face with Doctor Who after winning a BBC | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
competition to write a short episode for the series. It must | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
have been a dream come true for pupils from Oakley Junior School | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
who were given a secret glimpse inside the Tardis when they went on | :12:16. | :12:26. | |
:12:26. | :12:28. | ||
set and met actor Matt Smith. It is the adventure of a lifetime | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
only The Doctor can prescribe. would like you to write a story | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
about me! These young Time Lords showed they were up to the | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
challenge. They were tasked with writing a three minute episode and | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
could only use one monster. The youngsters took part in a BBC | :12:47. | :12:55. | |
competition encouraging schools to come up with their own script. | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
have won the competition. If that was not enough, they came face-to- | :13:00. | :13:10. | |
:13:10. | :13:10. | ||
face with the doctor himself, actor Matt Smith. Well done. Are you the | :13:10. | :13:20. | |
:13:20. | :13:22. | ||
guys who have written it? This episode will be shown shortly, so | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
the children do not have long to wait. | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
I bet that was the biggest day in their lives so far and they loved | :13:28. | :13:35. | |
every moment of it. It will be on tomorrow on BBC One at 7:10pm. Tony | :13:35. | :13:42. | |
is here now what the sport. Hampshire are the defending | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
Twenty20 champions after winning finals day last year on home soil. | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
Tomorrow they're up against Somerset in the second semi final. | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
The winners will move on to the final against either Leicestershire | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
or Lancashire in the evening. Tomorrow's atmosphere in Birmingham | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
is likely to be quite different to today's near deserted Rose Bowl on | :13:56. | :14:06. | |
:14:06. | :14:07. | ||
a wet day in the Championship. are confident. All we need to do is | :14:07. | :14:16. | |
play well and we have a good chance. There is pressure, but I always | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
enjoy playing under pressure. So what makes the perfect Twenty20 | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
cricketer and what are the keys to winning for Hampshire tomorrow? | :14:22. | :14:29. | |
I've been finding out. Twenty20 cricket is the fastest form of the | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
Games. It helps if you have got some all-round skills. We are at | :14:34. | :14:41. | |
the crease with Kevin James. Batting wise, what are the keys | :14:41. | :14:51. | |
:14:51. | :14:51. | ||
early on? I need to hit a cross the line and the mid-wicket. And need | :14:51. | :14:59. | |
to find gaps for scoring my runs. Bowlers can get a hammering with | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
all that big shots around. How are you going to take on the batsman? | :15:04. | :15:12. | |
will make sure I do not get smacked out of the park. I what makes my | :15:12. | :15:19. | |
pace. Iron will ball slow and quicker balls so that he cannot set | :15:19. | :15:29. | |
:15:29. | :15:36. | ||
Meanwhile, Hampshire are facing relegation from the first division | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
in the county championship. Play finally resumed against | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
Worcestershire on the final day. Hampshire's batsman did enough to | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
thwart the Worcestershire bowlers and the match was declared a draw. | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
Signings for Portsmouth and Bournemouth today ahead of the | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
weekend's football. Portsmouth have brought in Hungarian striker Marco | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
Futach. The 6 ft 5 front man is available for tomorrow's home game | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
against Cardiff. Bournemouth have paid a six figure fee thought to be | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
around �100,000 for Swansea city striker Shaun MacDonald. He could | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
feature against Walsall tomorrow. A group of Southampton football | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
club legends are coming together to aid Help for Heroes in a special | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
charity match next month. Saints stars of the '90s Matthew Le | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
Tissier and Francis Benali will be among the players helping to raise | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
money for injured servicemen by playing against the Combined Forces | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
football team at Eastleigh's ground next month. Le Tissier's also given | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
his opinion on his old club's impressive start to the | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
championship season. They have won four out of four to go top of the | :16:30. | :16:38. | |
table. So far it has been a wonderful start. We are breaking | :16:38. | :16:48. | |
:16:48. | :16:51. | ||
all sorts of records as a team and hopefully we can go on to achieve | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
an all-time record. It will be fabulous. Good luck to all our | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
teams. Sunday 20 bit of September for that match. Follow up the | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
football and cricket on the BBC over the weekend. | :17:07. | :17:17. | |
:17:17. | :17:17. | ||
A I hope the weather will be good. -- I hope. We have had a lot of | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
rain. Where do you send your weather presenter on a day like | :17:22. | :17:30. | |
today? Alexis de is in a rainforest. That is a huge lily pad. Have you | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
found your frog prince? I haven't. This is the living | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
rainforest and it is one of the largest water lily leaves in the | :17:41. | :17:51. | |
:17:51. | :17:53. | ||
world. It grows up to 8, 9 ft in diameter. It is not the only thing | :17:53. | :18:03. | |
:18:03. | :18:14. | ||
to look at. I checked out earlier This does feel like we are actually | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
in the rain forest. Tell me about it and what you are all about? | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
are a sustainable charity. The idea about this is we are a visitors' | :18:26. | :18:35. | |
:18:36. | :18:36. | ||
attraction to educate people about what is going on in the rain forest. | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
If you would like to feed them, you are welcome. These are live | :18:41. | :18:51. | |
:18:51. | :18:57. | ||
locusts? Yes. In the rain forest, these monkeys are found in pockets | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
of the forest because of deforestation. The He's frocks are | :19:02. | :19:10. | |
in a breeding programme and others like the tarantula and Python only | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
come out for educational purposes. It tarantula can live up to 50 | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
years. We have seen as a lot of different plants -- a lot of | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
different plants. You cannot deny the plant life it is pretty | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
impressive. The humidity is kept between 50 and 70 %. The plants do | :19:34. | :19:41. | |
not like it it it goes below that. We collect water from the reef of | :19:41. | :19:51. | |
:19:51. | :19:56. | ||
the building to water the plants. - - wreath and other building. -- | :19:56. | :20:06. | |
roof of the building. What is in store for the Bank Holiday weather? | :20:06. | :20:16. | |
:20:16. | :20:24. | ||
I will have a for four cars later. -- a fall forecast. | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
Reading is preparing for a busy weekend as thousands of party-goers | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
head to the festival. 30% more staff have been drafted in at | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
Reading Train Station to help during the event which starts today. | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
Last August Bank Holiday 22,000 extra passengers passed through the | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
town's station - most of them music fans. Joe Campbell met up with | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
festival goers hoping for a dry weekend. A trip to a music festival, | :20:41. | :20:48. | |
it Bank Holiday weekend. It is a recipe for marked. Very wet and | :20:48. | :20:58. | |
:20:58. | :21:08. | ||
muddy. Everyone is really friendly. It is going to rain in a minute. | :21:08. | :21:15. | |
But nobody was raining on this band's parade. The Sussex-based | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
musicians kick of the best of all. We are a bunch of kids from | :21:21. | :21:28. | |
Brighton. This is pretty cool. It is a dream come true. It is crazy | :21:28. | :21:36. | |
for us. Pretty well to walk out and see so many people, especially when | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
the weather is so bad. My main fear was slipping on stage. The weather | :21:42. | :21:52. | |
:21:52. | :21:55. | ||
may not be a friend to rock-star hair star of -- hair stars, but | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
other visitors were making what demands. We have a badger sett on | :22:01. | :22:11. | |
:22:11. | :22:11. | ||
site. We have had to fence them in it and feed them -- and feed them. | :22:11. | :22:18. | |
They are not unwelcome, but week have had to go and be further to | :22:18. | :22:28. | |
:22:28. | :22:31. | ||
make sure they are OK. It looks as if it will be a great festival, | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
rain or shine. Let us go back to Alexis to get the weather forecast. | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
It is now time to release these butterflies so they can get out and | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
about, but if you are stuck for something to do it this Bank | :22:46. | :22:54. | |
Holiday and over the next few days, he is something you can get up to. | :22:54. | :23:04. | |

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds | :23:04. | :24:00. | |
It certainly has been humid in the Rain Forest today. 70-80 % humidity. | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
A different picture elsewhere in the south. Let us look at the | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
satellite picture from earlier on. A lot of cloud that brought us some | :24:10. | :24:18. | |
hefty showers. They were tracked their way northwards. It was an | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
improving picture for some of us. We did see some sunny spells, but | :24:22. | :24:30. | |
temperatures were not as warm as they were yesterday. Overnight, | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
temperatures will drop into single figures, especially in the | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
countryside. A dry and sunny start to the day tomorrow. Maybe some | :24:38. | :24:48. | |
:24:48. | :24:48. | ||
missed and fog patches. A few showers dotted around. The breeze | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
will be brisk. Some areas could stay dry up altogether. | :24:53. | :25:02. | |
Temperatures will peak at 19 Celsius. A wet start to their | :25:02. | :25:09. | |
evening tomorrow, although some late evening sunshine on offer. You | :25:09. | :25:19. | |
:25:19. | :25:23. | ||
can expect the crowd to disperse as we progress through the night. Here | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
is your outlook for the next few days. One or to showers dotted | :25:29. | :25:38. | |
around. Sunday, quite cloudy. Most places should stay dry. Bank | :25:38. | :25:46. | |
Holiday Monday is looking pleasant. The winds will die down and Tuesday | :25:46. | :25:52. | |
is looking all right as well. That is all from me here. Back to the | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
studio. We will return to that breaking | :25:57. | :26:05. | |
news story that we had at the beginning of the programme at the | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
recycling factory in Lasham. Around 60 firefighters are at the scene. | :26:09. | :26:15. | |
We can now join our reporter who is there. What can you tell us at this | :26:15. | :26:25. | |
:26:25. | :26:26. | ||
stage? Huge plumes of smoke have been rising and we have heard a | :26:26. | :26:32. | |
series of explosions. We had also just been another at 12 fire | :26:32. | :26:40. | |
appliances a right at the scene. The fire started at around 4pm. | :26:40. | :26:49. | |
This fire is in an area where factories are recycled and there is | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
up there is that there are gas cylinders on site. Are people from | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
nearby houses been moved to safety? Roads are closed in the area. A | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
resident told us half-a-dozen houses had been evacuated. There | :27:03. | :27:09. | |
are now two hydraulic platforms at the scene and they are pouring | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
water of right into the heart of this inferno. There is also a | :27:14. | :27:23. | |
police helicopter flying overhead. Thank you. There is more | :27:23. | :27:32. |
