:00:04. > :00:06.Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's
:00:06. > :00:14.programme: Important research into childhood
:00:14. > :00:18.allergies is under threat as not enough volunteers come forward.
:00:18. > :00:22.No parent would want an untested drug given to their child.
:00:22. > :00:24.Can the South lead the way out of the economic slump? We hear from
:00:24. > :00:32.the Shadow Chancellor. Saying farewell at last to the
:00:32. > :00:40.servicemen who died as D-Day landing craft sank in the Solent.
:00:40. > :00:45.And the daunting task of finishing one of Mozart's great works.
:00:45. > :00:53.I decided that I would continue very much as if I were picking up
:00:53. > :01:00.the pen and continuing in 7091, in the same sort of style. -- said in
:01:00. > :01:04.A medical trial which could potentially help millions of
:01:04. > :01:09.children with allergies may have to close. The study in Southampton is
:01:09. > :01:14.under threat not from lack of funds, but a lack of volunteers. So far,
:01:14. > :01:17.only 31 children are involved. They need almost three times that many.
:01:17. > :01:21.The youngsters are given an extract of dust mites to see if it helps
:01:21. > :01:24.prevent them developing asthma, eczema, and other allergies. Our
:01:24. > :01:31.health correspondent David Fenton has been assessing the issue and is
:01:32. > :01:36.here to tell us more. This trial is looking at a problem
:01:36. > :01:40.that affects many, many children. Sometimes almost from the moment
:01:40. > :01:45.they are born. That problem is allergies. About one in four people
:01:45. > :01:48.have an allergy and about half of those are children. Dust mites that
:01:48. > :01:53.we all breathed in can trigger many of the most common allergic
:01:53. > :01:57.reactions, like asthma. This today, the first of its kind in Europe,
:01:58. > :02:03.hopes to stop those allergies from developing.
:02:03. > :02:08.Selina is about to take a dose of dust mites. It is a special extract
:02:08. > :02:13.in a sugary solution. She will take this twice a day for the next year.
:02:13. > :02:17.I have got lots of friends that had eczema when they were children and
:02:17. > :02:23.I thought it was a good idea if we could find a cure for or prevention
:02:23. > :02:27.to stop it. Tiny drops of milk, grass and peanut solution are put
:02:27. > :02:34.on to her skin. If she reacts, there will be a red mark. There is
:02:34. > :02:40.not. We hope the immune system will actually recognise the house dust
:02:40. > :02:46.mite as not being harmful. If they become tolerant to the dust mite,
:02:46. > :02:50.it will prevent them from having hay fever or asthma, for example.
:02:50. > :02:53.Everyone breathes in dust mites, they are a major cause of allergic
:02:53. > :02:58.reactions, but many parents are reluctant to take part in medical
:02:58. > :03:02.trials. I think it is trying something new and children, it is
:03:02. > :03:07.not that good. We refused it because we did not want experiments
:03:07. > :03:12.on our child. If it helps one person it has to be a good thing so
:03:12. > :03:15.I don't see a problem. Selfishly, people are busy and think it will
:03:15. > :03:19.be time consuming with small children, when time, you feel you
:03:19. > :03:24.are busy anyway. The results of this allergy study are still being
:03:24. > :03:29.collected, but it could close without more volunteers. It is a
:03:29. > :03:31.common problem for research trials. Without really conducting the
:03:32. > :03:36.studies properly so that we can understand the deceit and the new
:03:36. > :03:40.medicines in children, we cannot, as doctors, use those medicines
:03:40. > :03:46.because we might cause more harm. No parent would want an untested
:03:46. > :03:55.drug given to a child. Every year, 8,000 children like Selina take
:03:55. > :03:59.part in clinical trials, unpaid and often unnoticed.
:03:59. > :04:03.I am joined by a doctor from the medicine for children research
:04:03. > :04:08.network which supports clinical trials in children. Professionals
:04:08. > :04:12.clearly want more trials on children. Persuading parents is
:04:12. > :04:19.clearly difficult. It must be a conundrum for you, so how do you
:04:19. > :04:22.solve it? When families come to us with a child who is unwell, many
:04:23. > :04:29.families ask what new treatments are available, what research is
:04:29. > :04:33.being done in the condition? Will the outlook be better for my child?
:04:34. > :04:38.Although one its concerned to hear that families are reluctant to take
:04:38. > :04:43.part in research, the evidence is that many families who encounter
:04:43. > :04:47.doctors with sick children are then very keen to hear about research.
:04:47. > :04:50.But it is a voluntary act to take part, there is no compulsion, and
:04:50. > :04:56.each family needs to make an individual choice on the
:04:56. > :05:01.information they are given and what is right for their child. Indeed. I
:05:01. > :05:04.suppose if a trial cannot go ahead, what does it mean for the future of
:05:04. > :05:10.medicine and treatments for children? It is important that
:05:10. > :05:14.everyone recognises that, until very recently, we had no way of
:05:14. > :05:19.improving medicines for children. Around half the medicines we use in
:05:19. > :05:23.children are not tested to the same standards as adult medicines, but
:05:24. > :05:28.with the development of a network and changes in legislation many new
:05:28. > :05:32.agents are coming through, many new medicines are being tested in
:05:32. > :05:37.children in really good facilities and with experienced, trained staff,
:05:37. > :05:41.so unless we all contribute to the trials we will not be able to
:05:41. > :05:45.improve health care for children as fast as we would all want it.
:05:45. > :05:49.you so much for joining us this evening.
:05:49. > :05:55.David, talking about the Southampton trial with the dust
:05:55. > :05:59.mites, how realistic is it that the trial continues? They are going to
:05:59. > :06:02.carry on with the 31 children already on it and I'm sure the
:06:02. > :06:06.information will be useful. The problem is that it is not a large
:06:06. > :06:10.enough number to be statistically valid, which is hugely important
:06:10. > :06:15.when it comes to deciding, basically, does it work? Can they
:06:15. > :06:18.get more funding to turn the research into treatment? The
:06:19. > :06:22.interesting thing about this steady if it is not about a drug or
:06:22. > :06:26.medicine, it is a preventative measure using something we all
:06:26. > :06:31.breathed in any rate. Let's hope they can maybe get a few more
:06:31. > :06:40.volunteers. If you are interested in being part of the trial all want
:06:40. > :06:42.more information, please call this A speedway rider has appeared
:06:42. > :06:45.before magistrates in Bournemouth charged with sexually assaulting a
:06:45. > :06:50.teenage girl. Poole Pirates's Darcy Ward, who is 19, is accused of
:06:50. > :06:53.assaulting the 17-year-old at a hotel in Poole in August. He was
:06:53. > :06:56.bailed to appear at the town's Crown Court next week alongside a
:06:56. > :06:58.17-year-old man, who cannot be named because of his age. He has
:06:58. > :07:01.been charged with rape and three counts of sexual assault.
:07:01. > :07:05.A Hampshire businessman has given a graphic account of how he found his
:07:05. > :07:09.mother's body in her country cottage. Georgina Edmonds had been
:07:09. > :07:12.stabbed and then struck with a rolling pin. Her son Harry was
:07:12. > :07:15.giving evidence on the second day of the trial of Matthew Hamlen,
:07:15. > :07:22.from Bishopstoke, who denies murdering Mrs Edmonds. You may find
:07:22. > :07:26.some of the details in Steve Humphrey's report upsetting.
:07:26. > :07:29.Just before he started giving evidence, Harry Edmonds turned
:07:29. > :07:35.towards the dock and looked at Matthew Hamlen, the man accused of
:07:35. > :07:39.murdering his mother. Georgina Edmonds, who was 77, was repeatedly
:07:39. > :07:44.stabbed before being struck with a marble rolling pin. She lived at
:07:44. > :07:48.this cottage in the grounds of Kingfisher Lodge, where her son
:07:48. > :07:52.legs. Harry Edmonds described coming home on a dark Friday
:07:52. > :07:55.evening. After seeing no lights on, he called his mother on the
:07:55. > :08:00.telephone. And with the doors locked and no response, he climbed
:08:00. > :08:04.through a window and found his mother's body in the kitchen. Two
:08:04. > :08:09.estate workers arrived after being called by Mr Edmonds. Mr Edmonds
:08:09. > :08:13.told the jury his mother was lying on the ground, flat on her face. He
:08:14. > :08:17.said there was evidence she had received a blow to the head. He
:08:17. > :08:23.told the emergency services, I think there has been a murder. He
:08:23. > :08:28.also told the jury, you see so many crime dramas, you know in these
:08:28. > :08:32.circumstances not to touch anything. Earlier, he described his mother as
:08:32. > :08:37.a lively character who still lived an active life despite several hip
:08:37. > :08:40.replacement operations. Matthew Hamlen, a 33-year-old Ehlich
:08:40. > :08:45.treasurer, denies murdering Georgina Edmonds and the trial
:08:45. > :08:48.continues. -- a 33-year-old and attrition.
:08:48. > :08:51.Security is to be improved at Butlin's in Bognor Regis following
:08:51. > :08:54.a fight at an adult weekend that ended with 12 arrests on suspicion
:08:54. > :08:57.of GBH and violent disorder. Six staff were taken to hospital
:08:57. > :09:00.following the incident at the Swinging 60s night earlier this
:09:00. > :09:03.month. The resort will make closer scrutiny of block bookings, review
:09:03. > :09:06.CCTV cameras, and have more safety staff on duty.
:09:06. > :09:09.Southampton General Hospital's new helipad opened this morning. And
:09:09. > :09:12.within half an hour of entering service, it was already in action,
:09:12. > :09:19.receiving a patient from the Isle of Wight. It has cost �1 million to
:09:19. > :09:25.build, but doctors say it will make a huge difference to patients.
:09:25. > :09:31.Previously, patients have had to land and be transferred by land
:09:31. > :09:33.ambulance. Landing here means they are within two minutes of the
:09:33. > :09:38.emergency department and that saving of time will save lives and
:09:38. > :09:42.improve outcomes. I think it is going to be amazing, because it is
:09:42. > :09:46.going to cut down the time it takes to get into hospital, and it will
:09:46. > :09:52.be saving lives every day. You don't get more important than that,
:09:52. > :09:57.do you? Stay with us, we are looking ahead
:09:57. > :10:05.to Children In Need. How did Team Scoop and Team Wafer get on in the
:10:06. > :10:07.Pudsey challenge? Gatwick airport's extended and
:10:07. > :10:10.modernised North Terminal officially opened today in
:10:10. > :10:14.anticipation of a rise in passenger numbers and business growth in the
:10:14. > :10:17.South East. The work to improve facilities has cost �73 million. It
:10:17. > :10:24.is part of a half billion pound investment programme. So what do
:10:24. > :10:32.passengers make of the new look? A LCT 427 improvement to what it
:10:32. > :10:36.was before. I think it is money well spent -- a huge improvement.
:10:36. > :10:40.It was fairly dilapidated, but it looks very good now. There seems to
:10:40. > :10:43.be a lot more space, not as crowded as it was before.
:10:43. > :10:45.The official opening of the modernised North Terminal was
:10:45. > :10:47.performed by former Conservative Chancellor and Prime Minister Sir
:10:47. > :10:52.John Major. It was during his premiership that the British
:10:52. > :10:54.economy weathered the recession of the early 1990s. Today, he said the
:10:54. > :10:57.hundreds of millions of pounds being invested in the North
:10:57. > :11:07.Terminal is contributing to economic growth in the region and
:11:07. > :11:07.
:11:07. > :11:11.across the United Kingdom. Here at Gatwick, they are
:11:11. > :11:15.fashioning a gateway to the United Kingdom that will help Britain
:11:15. > :11:18.extend its reach far around the world and far into the future.
:11:18. > :11:21.So just how are we positioned across the South when it comes to
:11:21. > :11:23.pushing the country forwards towards growth? Within the last
:11:23. > :11:29.hour, our political editor Peter Henley has been exploring that
:11:29. > :11:34.question with the Shadow Chancellor, Ed Balls.
:11:34. > :11:38.He has been visiting Southampton. Is there anything about the word
:11:38. > :11:43.austerity that you like? deficit has got to come down, that
:11:43. > :11:47.means tough decisions for families, businesses, we will see taxes go up
:11:47. > :11:52.and have to tighten public spending. But austerity meaning cut faster
:11:52. > :11:57.and faster, it is not working. If unemployment goes up, confidence
:11:57. > :12:01.falls, and you end up with a higher borrowing than planned. That is
:12:01. > :12:06.what George Osborne is discovering, so a more balanced approach than
:12:06. > :12:10.just simple plain austerity, which does not were. You are suggesting a
:12:10. > :12:14.tax break in the South East that would mean less money for the
:12:14. > :12:18.government? It would encourage a few businesses but frighten the
:12:18. > :12:23.markets. Isn't confidence the most important thing? The most important
:12:23. > :12:26.thing is more people in work, paying tax, rather than unemployed
:12:26. > :12:31.and on benefits. In his constituency in Southampton there
:12:31. > :12:36.has been a 133% rise in long-term youth unemployment since the
:12:36. > :12:40.beginning of the year, so getting people to work will get the deficit
:12:40. > :12:44.down and one idea is a National Insurance cut for every small firm
:12:44. > :12:52.taking on new employees. George Osborne had a plan like that but it
:12:52. > :12:59.excluded the south-east entirely from the tax break, that is madness.
:12:59. > :13:03.The unemployment level was so low, 6.3%, and the help when you were in
:13:03. > :13:08.government went to other regions. Unemployment is up, confidence is
:13:08. > :13:12.down, if businesses in the south- east are not creating jobs, the
:13:12. > :13:15.whole country suffers. You cannot rely on the south-east to be the
:13:15. > :13:19.engine of growth, it needs to be supported, which means doing more.
:13:19. > :13:22.Thank you very much. A memorial service has been held
:13:22. > :13:25.for the servicemen who died when a World War II landing craft sank in
:13:25. > :13:31.the Solent. Landing craft LCT 427 collided on its return to
:13:31. > :13:33.Portsmouth from Normandy in June 1944. All 13 crew died. The
:13:33. > :13:40.Southsea Sub-Aqua Club recently discovered the wreck and began a
:13:40. > :13:45.search for relatives or comrades of the crew, as Mark Sanders explains.
:13:45. > :13:50.At just 19, Margaret lost the man she was going to marry, one of 13
:13:50. > :13:57.men killed when their landing craft sank in Portsmouth harbour. Kenneth
:13:57. > :14:05.was quite a religious person, a really frivolous man. He loved
:14:05. > :14:09.dancing, which we boasted a lot. He was a lovely person, really lovely.
:14:09. > :14:15.Magritte and others have lost someone dear today travelled to the
:14:15. > :14:18.spot where LCT 427 sank. The craft was part of the D-Day armada and
:14:18. > :14:23.successfully landed her cargo of tanks in Normandy and was returning
:14:23. > :14:28.to Portsmouth when disaster struck. In the early hours of June 7th,
:14:28. > :14:34.1944, just four miles from shore, she collided with a British
:14:34. > :14:37.battleship. The landing craft was sliced in two. The wreck was
:14:37. > :14:41.identified by Southsea Sub-Aqua Club, who organised the memorial
:14:41. > :14:49.service at sea and traced the relatives of those who died.
:14:49. > :14:54.never really expected to have such a fabulous response, and to finally
:14:54. > :14:59.be here pain our last respects is just wonderful. Relatives laid
:14:59. > :15:07.wreaths where LCT 427 went down. Gladys lost her brother. I was just
:15:07. > :15:17.very sad, I just said goodbye to him and God bless. What was going
:15:17. > :15:23.through your mind when you put the race on the water? -- the wreath.
:15:23. > :15:28.Really sad, really sad. You think of all of those lives that were
:15:28. > :15:37.lost. Today was an act of remembrance to ensure that the loss
:15:37. > :15:41.of one landing craft crew was not forgotten in the sweep of history.
:15:41. > :15:44.An important day for the relatives and comrades who waited so long to
:15:44. > :15:46.pay their respects. More than 200 years after the
:15:46. > :15:50.original piece was written, a composer from Southampton has
:15:50. > :15:55.completed Mozart's Requiem. Michael Finnissy, Professor of Composition
:15:55. > :15:58.at Southampton University, wrote the new parts in just six weeks.
:15:58. > :16:08.Over the last couple of centuries, many attempts have been made to
:16:08. > :16:20.
:16:20. > :16:27.finish the piece. Sarah Holmes The opening to Mozart's Requiem,
:16:27. > :16:31.and iconic piece of music. But one that Mozart never finished. Over
:16:31. > :16:36.the last couple of centuries, many attempts have been made to finish
:16:36. > :16:40.the piece, most imagining what Mozart would have done. But Michael
:16:40. > :16:46.Finnissy decided to try something different. Supposing Mozart was
:16:46. > :16:53.alive now and was looking back at himself in its 7091, what would he
:16:53. > :17:03.have to take account of, musically, in a different musical period? It
:17:03. > :17:04.
:17:04. > :17:09.starts more-or-less in the style I wanted to make the relationship
:17:09. > :17:13.with Mozart, so it would not have been much good grovelling at his
:17:13. > :17:18.feet, that would not be terribly impressive, so I decided he was a
:17:19. > :17:24.friend and we were going to talk about the writing of Requiems, how
:17:24. > :17:30.music can affect people, how it can elevate the human spirit. The piece
:17:30. > :17:36.will be premiered on Sunday at St Michael's Church in Southampton.
:17:36. > :17:39.A daunting task to a finish that. The completed Requiem is on Sunday
:17:39. > :17:45.at 7pm at St Michael's Church in Southampton. And it is online
:17:45. > :17:47.bbc.co.uk/hampshire. Tony is here, starting with
:17:47. > :17:50.football? The bank which is part-owned by one
:17:50. > :17:53.of Portsmouth's main backers has gone into temporary administration.
:17:53. > :17:56.Vladimir Antonov owns 68% of Bankas Snoras. An administrator has been
:17:56. > :17:59.appointed to assess its financial position and look at restructuring,
:17:59. > :18:05.amid reports that assets totalling around �247 million pounds may be
:18:05. > :18:07.unaccounted for. Antonov is the Chairman and founder of Convers
:18:07. > :18:09.Sports Initiatives, which owns Portsmouth. The club have made no
:18:09. > :18:12.comment. Meanwhile, Portsmouth's new manager
:18:12. > :18:16.has been reflecting on his first week in the role. Michael Appleton
:18:16. > :18:19.leads Pompey in his opening game as a full-time manager on Saturday at
:18:20. > :18:23.Watford. He has had a week to work with those players who have not
:18:23. > :18:28.been away on international duty, and he is eager for the game to
:18:28. > :18:33.come round. I am obviously desperately looking
:18:33. > :18:37.forward to it, it is an opportunity for myself to have a feel for the
:18:37. > :18:41.championship once again. I have spent a lot of time playing in the
:18:41. > :18:44.championship, coaching in the championship, being an assistant to
:18:44. > :18:48.people in that level, and there is a lot I know about the championship
:18:48. > :18:51.and the players and hopefully I can give that advice and experience to
:18:51. > :18:54.the players. Gosport sailor Alex Thomson may
:18:54. > :18:57.have to settle for second place in the Transat race. Thomson and co-
:18:57. > :18:59.skipper Guillarmo Altadill remain 128 miles behind the leaders in the
:18:59. > :19:02.challenge, which started in northern France at the beginning of
:19:02. > :19:05.the month and should arrive in Costa Rica tomorrow. Southampton's
:19:05. > :19:07.Mike Golding is still at the back of the 9 boat class.
:19:07. > :19:10.After five consecutive defeats to start the British basketball season,
:19:10. > :19:13.the Guildford Heat are turning to some American talent They have
:19:13. > :19:18.signed experienced point guard Drew Lasker. He has played for Plymouth
:19:18. > :19:28.and Newcastle and averages over 15 points a game. Lasker should make
:19:28. > :19:28.
:19:28. > :19:32.his debut in a friendly on Sunday at Surrey Sports Park.
:19:32. > :19:37.Saints and Brighton made on Saturday, amongst Children In Need,
:19:37. > :19:41.we will preview that. It is Children In Need tomorrow night,
:19:41. > :19:43.and as most of us are gearing up for a big fundraising night, some
:19:43. > :19:47.race enthusiasts in Chandlers Ford are preparing for a 24-hour
:19:47. > :19:52.marathon. And tonight they are on a practise run. Laura Trant is there.
:19:52. > :19:58.It is all very exciting at the race centre in Chandlers Ford. Here is
:19:58. > :20:03.Nathan, he has won four times before. What are your tips? A lot
:20:03. > :20:09.of concentration, hardly any sleep, and a lot of luck. We had better
:20:09. > :20:14.leave you to it. Let's talk to David, what is going on tomorrow?
:20:14. > :20:23.We have the 24 hour race, starting at 1pm and going through until
:20:23. > :20:27.Saturday at 1pm. We also have an auction, so everyone can join in.
:20:28. > :20:35.We have gifts from Martin Brundle, lots of stuff, lots for people to
:20:35. > :20:42.bid on. How much have you raised so far? It is the 50th, so far over
:20:42. > :20:47.�35,000. Nasty was �8,000, we hope we can achieve that again -- it is
:20:47. > :20:53.the 5th year, and last year was �8,000. Our very own Sarah Farmer
:20:53. > :20:57.is here. How is it going? I have crashed several times, but I am
:20:57. > :21:00.getting there, getting the hang of it. It is like the real thing, you
:21:00. > :21:06.can feel the vibrations and when you come off the track, you know
:21:06. > :21:10.about it! You can join a Sidon for a girls' night out tomorrow at the
:21:10. > :21:18.National Motor Museum, and there will be a bit of a casting because
:21:18. > :21:23.there will be a Formula One tyre Bob challenge as well.
:21:23. > :21:27.She said all of the girls, but you are there tomorrow as well!
:21:27. > :21:31.already know what they are doing, they are one step ahead!
:21:31. > :21:34.It is day two of the Pudsey Challenge. We split eight of our
:21:34. > :21:37.presenters and reporters into two teams and gave them a task, rather
:21:37. > :21:43.in the style of The Apprentice. Selling and making ice cream for
:21:43. > :21:46.Children In Need. It might seem an easy task, but there are some dirty
:21:47. > :21:55.tricks taking place as the competition starts to hot up.
:21:55. > :22:05.Two teams and one bear. To make and sell ice-cream. The rules are
:22:05. > :22:10.
:22:10. > :22:17.simple. Whichever team sows the Team Wafer Habana early appointment
:22:17. > :22:22.with BBC Radio Solent. We have been busy making sticky toffee Pudsey.
:22:22. > :22:29.Elsewhere... The ice-cream is there, we have to get it in here and then
:22:29. > :22:35.hit the row. It is very expensive. Three pounds 50 for a tub of ice-
:22:35. > :22:41.cream?! As least I have changed my top! Fresh plants, fresh socks!
:22:41. > :22:51.Friendly rivalry... Can you help, please? This is really nice ice-
:22:51. > :22:54.
:22:54. > :23:04.cream. And dirty tricks. Theirs is bright yellow and looks disgusting.
:23:04. > :23:05.
:23:05. > :23:15.Look at that. Tom has got a mean, devious trick. If you would like to
:23:15. > :23:18.
:23:19. > :23:28.move your Karl Ley! With the roadblocks lifted, both teams are
:23:29. > :23:33.
:23:33. > :23:43.Team Wafer divide in two, with Sarah heading to Southampton and
:23:43. > :23:47.
:23:47. > :23:52.Tom going to Portsmouth. Pool stick together and set up shop at the
:23:52. > :24:02.keys in Portsmouth. Do we have a phone number for the ice-cream
:24:02. > :24:07.people? Are you worried about it Martin? I want to make sure!
:24:07. > :24:17.The team leaders return from Portsmouth. With just one hour to
:24:17. > :24:24.go, both teams made a final push. Alexis has come down to help.
:24:24. > :24:27.metres up, your chance to eat high altitude ice-cream! I don't know
:24:27. > :24:34.how you can stay so calm. Both teams must return to the boardroom
:24:34. > :24:42.by a strict 4pm deadline. We have got to go. Why don't you start
:24:42. > :24:52.selling and stop arguing? It feels like we shifted nearly all of our
:24:52. > :24:56.
:24:56. > :25:00.ice-cream. We won by a wafer! Tomorrow, all eight Apprentices
:25:00. > :25:04.face Sally in the boardroom, but who will become Pudsey's
:25:04. > :25:09.Apprentice? You are fired!
:25:09. > :25:13.It was so exciting to do that! But it was not nice to be horrible to
:25:13. > :25:16.them because they did so well, and I will tell you all about it
:25:16. > :25:19.tomorrow. I hope she has finished crashing
:25:19. > :25:23.her car, because Sarah Farmer has now got to get to grips with the
:25:23. > :25:28.weather! Luckily the track was drying here
:25:28. > :25:37.otherwise I would have spun off the road several more times! Today, we
:25:37. > :25:42.We did have quite a bit of blue sky ahead, some cloud at times, but a
:25:42. > :25:46.band of cloud moving into the West, which is trying to head into us
:25:46. > :25:50.overnight. We start to see the cloud thickening from the north-
:25:50. > :25:54.west through the course of this evening. I don't think it will
:25:54. > :26:00.bring too much in the way of wet weather but it may be damp and
:26:00. > :26:04.drizzly at times. Eastern parts perhaps seeing some mist, which
:26:04. > :26:10.could be with us into tomorrow morning. The start of tomorrow
:26:10. > :26:14.looks like it will be damned in the West, but just first thing. We may
:26:14. > :26:17.see some mist to the far east of the region, but as the day
:26:17. > :26:22.progresses, some decent writer breaks developing and we should see
:26:22. > :26:27.some more sunshine, probably more cloud than we saw today, but some
:26:27. > :26:33.nice sunny spells. The breeze is a little bit of a feature, but not
:26:33. > :26:37.too windy. Another mild day for November for Children In Need day.
:26:37. > :26:41.Children In Need night, it will stay predominantly dry once again,
:26:41. > :26:45.thickening cloud through the course of the night, not ruling out the
:26:45. > :26:50.chance of some mist and fog again, but we should see temperatures in
:26:50. > :26:56.double figures for most parts, so not doing too badly for the weekend.
:26:56. > :27:01.More brightness, sunny intervals through the day on Saturday,
:27:01. > :27:07.possibly a touch of frost in two Sunday. Sunday itself looks to be a
:27:07. > :27:11.bit cloudy, maybe with some rain, but for the most part some good,
:27:12. > :27:15.sunny spells. Some uncertainty into the working week, but it starts on
:27:16. > :27:19.a decent note. Thank you very much.
:27:19. > :27:24.Children In Need tomorrow night, they are at the National Motor
:27:24. > :27:33.Museum. You are there as well. If you are doing something tomorrow,
