:00:02. > :00:04.Hello. I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's
:00:04. > :00:08.programme: Hampshire Police Authority spent �9.2 million of
:00:08. > :00:17.taxpayers' money on this site three years ago, but it has never been
:00:17. > :00:24.used. Sitting comfortably? The promise of more seats on one of the
:00:24. > :00:29.most overcrowded train routes in the region. The mornings are bad
:00:29. > :00:33.but the evening is worse. Pay up or you won't get flood
:00:33. > :00:36.defences - Berkshire businesses are asked to fund a shortfall. And to
:00:36. > :00:45.fence or not to fence - the flying balls off this sticky wicket
:00:45. > :00:55.causing concern. Bewilderment, actually. We didn't really see why
:00:55. > :00:59.
:00:59. > :01:02."I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole" - words of warning from a
:01:02. > :01:07.senior official ahead of Hampshire Police Authority's decision to buy
:01:07. > :01:09.land in Chandler's Ford for a new force headquarters. BBC South has
:01:09. > :01:17.seen internal documents which reveals senior officials had
:01:17. > :01:20.serious concerns ahead of the purchase in 2008. The documents
:01:20. > :01:26.show the authority paid �9.2 million for the site when the
:01:26. > :01:30.market value was just �6.6 million. The amount it would take to build
:01:30. > :01:34.the headquarters went up to an unaffordable �40 million. Now two-
:01:34. > :01:39.thirds of the land could be put back on the market. The authority
:01:39. > :01:42.estimates it would fetch around �3 million, which could mean a loss.
:01:42. > :01:45.The police authority says the rethink is down to budget cuts, and
:01:45. > :01:54.they are reviewing the whole police estate, as our home affairs
:01:54. > :01:57.correspondent, Alex Forsyth, reports.
:01:57. > :02:03.Romsey police station - for decades people had been able to drop in
:02:03. > :02:08.here to talk to officers, but soon they will need an appointment.
:02:08. > :02:10.you close the door you lose an opportunity for people to give
:02:10. > :02:13.information and for officers to receive that information.
:02:13. > :02:18.Hampshire Police is reviewing its use of buildings to save money.
:02:19. > :02:25.Asked when -- as well as 28 front desks, 18 police stations will be
:02:25. > :02:30.closed, and some land could be closed, including the site. It was
:02:30. > :02:35.bought in 2008 for a new state-of- the-art headquarters to replace the
:02:35. > :02:41.ageing site in Winchester. Three years on and it is empty. The plan
:02:41. > :02:45.is for part of the site to be used for a call centre, as well as
:02:45. > :02:49.training facilities, stores and archives. The police a poverty is
:02:49. > :02:53.still working out where his best for its headquarters. The police
:02:53. > :02:58.authority says budget cuts have forced a rethink. Internal
:02:58. > :03:02.documents show that concerns were raised before the deal was done.
:03:02. > :03:05.The treasurer said, I would not touch this with a barge pole. The
:03:05. > :03:11.Chief Executive said the price would be hard to justify to
:03:11. > :03:20.taxpayers. The authority's chair e- mailed a colleague saying, or God,
:03:20. > :03:25.what have we done. There are still questions over the purchase. They
:03:25. > :03:30.are scratching their heads, saying, my police station is closing down
:03:30. > :03:37.but we have a big lump of land near Eastleigh. Where is the sense in
:03:37. > :03:42.that? It was felt we would need a but -- a much bigger site.
:03:42. > :03:47.They say that keeping under-used desks is not a good option. We need
:03:47. > :03:50.an estate that is fit for purpose today. We have protected a number
:03:50. > :03:52.of officers -- the number of officers working in the local
:03:52. > :03:57.community. We think that is important.
:03:57. > :04:00.The authority will decide what to do with the site in the New Year.
:04:00. > :04:04.Earlier I spoke to Jacqui Rayment, chair of the police authority, and
:04:04. > :04:11.because of the cost involved I put it to her that it was always going
:04:11. > :04:14.to be a white elephant. necessarily. We had various
:04:14. > :04:19.valuations that gave us various prices. We had various people
:04:19. > :04:25.giving advice and we had to take all of that into consideration.
:04:25. > :04:30.What about the warning e-mails that came out, saying, stay away from
:04:30. > :04:33.this, I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. All of those private e-
:04:33. > :04:38.mails did not come to light until the Freedom of Information request,
:04:38. > :04:41.and that was the first time I saw a number of them. So you got no
:04:41. > :04:47.warnings at all? Nobody criticised the decision you were thinking of
:04:47. > :04:51.making? No, I am not saying that. We had advice from various
:04:51. > :04:59.individuals, conflicting advice some days. On balance we made the
:05:00. > :05:04.decision we made. And that decision only to two months, didn't it? Was
:05:04. > :05:08.that enough time when you were spending �9.2 million of taxpayers'
:05:08. > :05:14.money? A huge amount of time and energy over the previous eight
:05:14. > :05:18.years had gone into finding a site. All of that work that went on
:05:18. > :05:24.behind the scenes came together in the culmination of two months.
:05:24. > :05:26.is a short period of time. Even if you were buying a house. If you
:05:26. > :05:30.look at the number of the big building projects around
:05:30. > :05:33.Southampton, two months to make a decision is quite quick, but over
:05:33. > :05:38.the eight years previously to find the site and get the figures
:05:38. > :05:46.together, that is quite a long time. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but
:05:46. > :05:49.do you have any regrets? Do you have misgivings now? No. We made
:05:49. > :05:56.the decision in good faith and we stand by it. Times have changed,
:05:56. > :06:01.Sally, very much since we bought the site. We have cuts to make, we
:06:01. > :06:05.have a new team. I accept that. You can blame an awful lot of people
:06:05. > :06:08.and say that there are circumstances that have changed,
:06:08. > :06:16.but can you accept any responsibility at all for this bad
:06:16. > :06:20.decision? I have to, I am the chair of the authority. As you said,
:06:20. > :06:24.hindsight is a wonderful thing. With the information... Would you
:06:24. > :06:28.do it again? If I had the same information and we were in the same
:06:28. > :06:34.financial climate, then I think I would make the decision again. If I
:06:34. > :06:36.were making the decision now with the information available in the
:06:36. > :06:46.current financial climate, my personal decision would be
:06:46. > :06:48.different. Thank you for coming in. The man charged with the murder of
:06:48. > :06:51.Yolande Waddington 45 years ago has appeared at Newbury Magistrates'
:06:51. > :06:53.Court. 64 year-old David Burgess is charged with murdering the 17-year-
:06:53. > :06:56.old on 28th October 1966. He refused representation for today's
:06:56. > :06:59.appearance. Mr Burgess will appear at Reading Crown Court on 5th
:06:59. > :07:01.December to enter his plea. Police have evacuated several homes
:07:01. > :07:11.in Bournemouth following the discovery of potentially hazardous
:07:11. > :07:15.
:07:15. > :07:18.chemicals at a neighbouring property. It is one of the most
:07:18. > :07:21.overcrowded rail routes in the country. And today passengers
:07:21. > :07:23.through the Thames Valley are being told they will benefit from extra
:07:23. > :07:26.carriages. It will create thousands of extra rush-hour seats. The 10
:07:26. > :07:29.most overcrowded trains into London are all services which run through
:07:29. > :07:31.Reading, but passenger groups say it is a sticking-plaster solution
:07:31. > :07:33.that will do little to ease the unacceptable conditions, as our
:07:33. > :07:35.transport correspondent, Paul Clifton, explains.
:07:35. > :07:38.This train from Reading is one of the most overcrowded in Britain. It
:07:38. > :07:43.carries almost twice as many passengers as there are seats.
:07:43. > :07:49.is fairly stressful. Very little chance of a seat. I have to use it,
:07:49. > :07:57.and forced to live. It is crowded every single day.
:07:57. > :08:01.All of the 10 most overcrowded trains travel through a wedding. --
:08:01. > :08:06.travel through Reading. It has some of the most expensive train fares
:08:06. > :08:12.as well. The morning is bad but the evening is worse. It is painful.
:08:12. > :08:20.extra 46 carriages have been found. Many will be old buffet cars
:08:20. > :08:25.converted to high-density seating. Some trains will be made one
:08:25. > :08:29.carriage longer. This train delivers very quickly. Some of the
:08:29. > :08:34.trains will be in the business in the coming weeks. We will refurbish
:08:34. > :08:38.them and get them in very quickly in the New Year. These trains will
:08:38. > :08:41.be hired for Cotswold services. First Great Western handed them
:08:41. > :08:48.back years ago because they were expensive and unreliable. Now they
:08:48. > :08:53.will return. Trains like these have been found to be used on the
:08:53. > :08:57.shuttle between Basingstoke and Reading. That will allow other
:08:57. > :09:02.community -- commuter trains to be made longer. It is a sticking-
:09:02. > :09:08.plaster job, I am afraid. For every three-carriage train you see now
:09:08. > :09:13.you will need a four, carriage -- four-carriage train by the time the
:09:13. > :09:22.next election comes along. The new carriages come as a long-
:09:22. > :09:26.overdue pleasant surprise. Rush- hour capacity will increase by 9%.
:09:26. > :09:30.And Paul Clifton is here with me in the studio. Paul, will the extra
:09:30. > :09:34.carriages solve the problem long- term?
:09:34. > :09:41.In the rush her to London one in five people are standing on the
:09:41. > :09:45.train. People are paying �37.50 to stand all the way to London, and
:09:45. > :09:49.�23 if you park in the car-park. Growth in the Thames Valley is so
:09:49. > :09:54.fast that those extra carriages will only accommodate one year of
:09:54. > :10:03.extra growth. Really this will on we stop the journey becoming even
:10:03. > :10:08.more overcrowded where will -- overcrowded.
:10:08. > :10:16.Where will the money come from? Most of it will come from
:10:16. > :10:21.government. There are much bigger plans for electrification and a new
:10:21. > :10:23.fleet of trains, though? The cost is �5 billion. The trains
:10:23. > :10:29.have not been ordered yet, so things will get a good deal worse
:10:29. > :10:33.on that line before they get better. There is a promise of jam tomorrow.
:10:33. > :10:43.Is it -- it is at least five years ahead from where we are today.
:10:43. > :10:46.
:10:46. > :10:49.Thank you. Police have evacuated homes in
:10:49. > :10:53.Bournemouth after potentially dangerous chemicals were found at a
:10:53. > :10:57.neighbouring property in Kimberley Road. A limited cordon still
:10:57. > :11:07.remains in place but the police insist that there is no threat to
:11:07. > :11:08.
:11:08. > :11:11.the public. A man has been arrested after a dog
:11:11. > :11:14.which was dragged behind a car for more than six miles was found dead
:11:14. > :11:17.in a lay-by. A black Porsche Carrera was seen being driven with
:11:17. > :11:20.a dog tied to the back at Devil's Dyke outside Brighton on Sunday
:11:20. > :11:23.night. The body of the beagle- collie cross was later discovered
:11:23. > :11:26.on the A27 near the Southwick Tunnel. A 33-year-old is being held
:11:26. > :11:34.on suspicion of animal cruelty after handing himself in to a
:11:34. > :11:38.police station in Worthing. Workers have rejected Southampton
:11:38. > :11:41.City Council's latest proposals on pay. The council says it is a
:11:41. > :11:44.disappointing result. A secret ballot held by Unison, Unite and
:11:44. > :11:47.UCATT voted against plans that would see a pay cut for anyone
:11:47. > :11:50.earning more than �22,000. All staff would be subject to a three-
:11:50. > :11:54.year pay freeze. Union members will be joining the mass walkout of
:11:54. > :11:57.public sector workers on 30th November.
:11:57. > :12:05.Still to come in this evening's South Today: Is the chilly weather
:12:05. > :12:09.on the way? Here is Sarah Farmer. Blankets and pyjamas at the ready -
:12:09. > :12:19.it is set to be a chilly night. There could be frost first thing
:12:19. > :12:22.
:12:22. > :12:25.tomorrow. The full forecast later. An inquest into the death of a
:12:25. > :12:28.father and son taking part in a race over the Isle of Wight have
:12:28. > :12:31.this evening reached a verdict of accidental death. They were taking
:12:31. > :12:33.part in the Merlin Trophy race from Bembridge Airport when Michael
:12:33. > :12:36.Willis and James Willis were involved in a mid-air collision.
:12:36. > :12:39.The retired pilot, who died alongside his son, had once saved
:12:39. > :12:42.the lives of more than 100 passengers. Laura Trant has been at
:12:42. > :12:45.the inquest, and we can join her live on the island tonight. Laura,
:12:45. > :12:48.what more can you tell us about the inquest? As you said, the jury
:12:48. > :12:55.recorded a verdict of accidental death caused by multiple injuries
:12:55. > :13:00.when Michael and James Willis died from ground impact.
:13:00. > :13:04.The jury heard from another son who was also involved in the race?
:13:04. > :13:10.They did. That was Jonathan Willis, the younger brother of James. He
:13:10. > :13:15.explained how his father had extensive experience of flying and
:13:15. > :13:19.how his father and brother would often fly together. They were
:13:19. > :13:27.particularly experienced. Jonathan was also taking part in the same
:13:27. > :13:30.race. Everything was going fine until he heard the Mayday calls.
:13:30. > :13:34.That is when he knew something was seriously wrong. He then heard what
:13:34. > :13:39.had happened and flew over the wreckage himself to see for himself
:13:39. > :13:44.what had occurred. And did they hear from any other
:13:44. > :13:48.witnesses? They did, they also heard from
:13:48. > :13:55.Benjamin Chapman, the pilot of the other aircraft involved in the
:13:55. > :14:00.collision. He said how, as he was flying, he was aware of the other
:14:00. > :14:05.aircraft being beneath his and to the right-hand side. He then lost
:14:05. > :14:11.sight of that and said that, seconds later, he felt a huge jolt
:14:11. > :14:16.beneath him. The cabin then shot past with a big puff of smoke or
:14:16. > :14:21.steam. He then wrestled with his own plane to get it under control
:14:21. > :14:25.and to safely fly to Bembridge airport. Other onlookers said they
:14:25. > :14:28.saw the aircraft spiralled to the ground. As I mentioned, the jury
:14:28. > :14:37.returned a verdict of accidental death.
:14:37. > :14:40.Thank you. The coastguard's new National
:14:40. > :14:43.Maritime Operations Centre is to be based in Fareham. It will occupy
:14:43. > :14:46.the abandoned regional fire control room which has stood empty since it
:14:46. > :14:49.was built. It is part of cuts to the coastguard service that will
:14:49. > :14:52.reduce the number of stations and control centres across the UK. The
:14:52. > :14:55.coastguard station at Portland will close, despite a campaign against
:14:55. > :15:00.the move by the local community. The English Channel is busy and
:15:00. > :15:04.there are lots of incidents, we know that. The knowledge we will
:15:04. > :15:14.still -- the knowledge will still be retained in the cost good
:15:14. > :15:15.
:15:15. > :15:18.service in the future. That will be retained in our existing centres.
:15:18. > :15:21.A mother from Hampshire has warned young drivers to slow down fter her
:15:21. > :15:24.18-year-old son was killed behind the wheel. Anne Blackhirst made her
:15:24. > :15:26.appeal at the start of Road Safety Week. The charity Brake, which
:15:26. > :15:29.campaigns for safer roads, says young drivers are involved in about
:15:29. > :15:34.a quarter of all crashes that leave someone dead or seriously injured.
:15:34. > :15:39.Mark Sanders reports. This is Richard Black first on his
:15:39. > :15:45.18th birthday. Two days after this photo was taken he was killed in a
:15:45. > :15:52.head-on car crash. The young man was trying to overtake on a dark,
:15:52. > :15:56.wet country road while approaching a bend. Like lots of 17 and 18-
:15:56. > :15:59.year-olds, I think he thought he was invincible. He told me he could
:15:59. > :16:03.drive in all sorts of weather conditions and was able to handle
:16:03. > :16:07.the car if there was snow and it was icy. He had not driven in those
:16:07. > :16:17.conditions. Experience does count for a lot and he had only been
:16:17. > :16:22.
:16:22. > :16:32.driving for seven months. For the start of Road Safety Week,
:16:32. > :16:32.
:16:32. > :16:35.Brake Has been focusing on young drivers. The organisation warns
:16:35. > :16:38.that young drivers are involved in a disproportionately high number of
:16:38. > :16:43.crashes that kill people of all ages.
:16:43. > :16:51.We are calling on the Government to introduce a system called graduated
:16:51. > :16:54.driving licences. It includes a novice driving period for newly
:16:54. > :16:57.qualified drivers. These sorts of systems have been introduced
:16:57. > :17:02.overseas, we know they are ineffective. A study in the UK
:17:02. > :17:10.found that if we were to have graduated driver ricin sing here it
:17:10. > :17:20.would save in the region of 200 lives per year. -- graduated driver
:17:20. > :17:28.
:17:28. > :17:31.licensing. The appeal is simple - slowdown.
:17:31. > :17:37.The service is designed to safeguard children in Sussex have
:17:37. > :17:41.been branded inadequate. The regulator believes that the
:17:41. > :17:47.situation could potentially place children and young people at
:17:47. > :17:50.serious risk of harm. They are designed to protect
:17:50. > :17:53.Newbury from the kind of flash floods that caused hundreds of
:17:53. > :17:56.thousands of pounds worth of damage four years ago. But some businesses
:17:56. > :17:59.are resisting calls to help fund the town's new river defences. They
:17:59. > :18:09.say the scheme will do nothing to save them from future floods. Joe
:18:09. > :18:48.
:18:48. > :18:53.I can see the sense in it but why should we pay when there is no
:18:53. > :18:56.benefit? A planned protection scheme will
:18:56. > :19:04.only be partly paid for by Whitehall. Even with money from
:19:04. > :19:08.local councils, there is still �111,000 of a funding gap. We need
:19:08. > :19:10.to deliver this critical infrastructure next year. Without
:19:10. > :19:16.addressing the shortfall, the funding is very likely to go
:19:16. > :19:20.elsewhere. This is not just about individual premises, this is about
:19:20. > :19:22.infrastructure in Newbury. Customers need to be able to get to
:19:22. > :19:25.them, and they still need to be able to get deliveries out to
:19:25. > :19:32.customers. If the infrastructure is not available they will still have
:19:32. > :19:40.a big problem. This month's meeting will try and push that message home.
:19:40. > :19:47.If businesses cannot be persuaded, Newbury's rivers will continue to
:19:47. > :19:49.pose a threat. Meanwhile, work starts today on a
:19:49. > :19:52.multi-million pound sea defence project which aims to protect
:19:52. > :19:55.hundreds of homes at risk of flooding in West Sussex. Medmerry,
:19:55. > :19:58.near Chichester, is one of the coastlines most at risk in southern
:19:58. > :20:06.England and is only protected by a shingle bank. More than three miles
:20:06. > :20:08.of defences will be created further inland by early 2013.
:20:08. > :20:11.Crews at Great Western Air Ambulance are celebrating after
:20:11. > :20:14.receiving a donation from the Prince of Wales. Representatives of
:20:14. > :20:16.His Royal Highness sent a cheque to the charity's office from the
:20:16. > :20:26.Prince's Benevolent Fund Committee. The money will go towards the �1.3
:20:26. > :20:30.
:20:30. > :20:40.million the charity has to raise each year.
:20:40. > :20:40.
:20:40. > :20:46.Now the sport. I am joined by a great painter athlete. I am going
:20:46. > :20:51.to start with cricket. Is it a row about a fence being put up or not?
:20:51. > :20:55.It is about fences and wayward cricket balls. 175 years of cricket
:20:55. > :20:57.in Lymington could be about to come to an end because of concerns over
:20:57. > :21:00.flying cricket balls. The town council could force the club to
:21:00. > :21:03.move to an alternative site after health and safety inspectors
:21:03. > :21:10.flagged up the risk of potential injuries from stray cricket balls.
:21:10. > :21:14.Rachel Canter has the story. This is Leamington Cricket Ground,
:21:15. > :21:23.home to the club for 175 years. But along history steeped in tradition
:21:23. > :21:28.could be about to come to an abrupt end. -- Lymington cricket ground.
:21:28. > :21:34.No-one has ever been hurt at this ground by a cricket ball and get
:21:34. > :21:40.the argument has been cited that flying cricket balls are a danger.
:21:40. > :21:43.Warmly this year the club held a special anniversary match, playing
:21:43. > :21:49.under the 1836 rules. The council's now recommending they should be
:21:49. > :21:54.evicted, but not everyone agrees. The only grounding for health and
:21:54. > :21:59.safety is that in the last three years three balls have ended up in
:21:59. > :22:03.the tennis courts. I would have thought that was a minimal risk.
:22:03. > :22:11.The club said that hitting high nets up could solve the problem. It
:22:11. > :22:15.is a prime location. Councillors say there are no plans to develop
:22:15. > :22:22.here. The fate of the club will be decided at a full council meeting
:22:22. > :22:25.next week. It's replay time in the FA Cup,
:22:25. > :22:27.with three of the South's sides in action tonight. Aldershot's match
:22:27. > :22:29.against Maidenhead United will see the winners travel to Hillsborough
:22:29. > :22:33.to face Sheffield Wednesday. Meanwhile, Oxford City line up
:22:33. > :22:42.against Redbridge. And Bournemouth travel to Gillingham. Our reporter,
:22:42. > :22:47.Adam Blackmore, is there. These days the Cherry's seemed more
:22:47. > :22:54.at home away from home. They had a good away win in League 1 at the
:22:54. > :23:01.weekend. They were in control against Gillingham ten days ago
:23:01. > :23:05.before a late equaliser brought us all back here tonight. Leyton
:23:05. > :23:09.Orient await the winners in the second round. Lee Bradbury's men
:23:09. > :23:12.will be to play well if they are to meet him at Brisbane Road at the
:23:12. > :23:19.start of December. Full commentary on BBC Radio Solent

:23:22. > :23:24.Transat race, Hampshire sailor Alex Thomson is preparing to race back
:23:24. > :23:27.across the Atlantic single-handed. Alex and his co-skipper, Guillermo
:23:27. > :23:30.Altadill, completed the race in 16 days to take second place overall.
:23:30. > :23:33.The technical team are now in the Caribbean preparing the boat for
:23:33. > :23:38.the return leg, this time a solo challenge from St Barts to Lorient
:23:38. > :23:42.in France in just under a fortnight's time. It gives us the
:23:42. > :23:48.opportunity to learn. In his last race we sailed a lot of the race
:23:48. > :23:53.with other boats. We really have a good gauge on where our boat's
:23:53. > :23:57.performance is. If we get the chance to do the same thing again
:23:57. > :24:02.single-handed in this race that would be perfect. We have a little
:24:02. > :24:08.time next year to make our final modifications to the boat.
:24:08. > :24:18.A big challenge there. He is aiming to be the first British man to win
:24:18. > :24:19.
:24:20. > :24:28.It is a master race, a scary race. It is huge. He had to turn back the
:24:28. > :24:32.last time because they were facing something like 40 knot winds.
:24:32. > :24:37.I was watching the pictures of the Caribbean.
:24:37. > :24:45.It is nice to dream, isn't it? It would be nice to see some
:24:45. > :24:50.sunshine. I do not mind if it is cold.
:24:50. > :25:00.Celebrate the seasons, Sally! It did come out for a little
:25:00. > :25:05.
:25:05. > :25:08.The sun was doing its best to shine through at Poundbury this morning.
:25:08. > :25:11.Thanks to Neil Crick for sending that shot in. Barry Taylor took
:25:11. > :25:14.this, a dramatic scene at Hatchet Pond in the New Forest. Looking
:25:14. > :25:17.very still there. And this is a rather arty shot - you can just
:25:17. > :25:19.about make out the boats at Portchester harbour in the gloom
:25:19. > :25:24.today. Rob Smith sent us that picture. Thank you.
:25:24. > :25:28.A bit of a contrast by day and by night. There were some heavy
:25:28. > :25:38.thundery showers today. Tonight we're looking at much colder
:25:38. > :25:38.
:25:38. > :25:44.temperatures. We could get down to freezing or possibly below. We are
:25:44. > :25:54.set to have some frost tonight. You can see from the satellite picture
:25:54. > :25:57.
:25:57. > :26:04.this wave of cloud working its way out towards the east. We will just
:26:04. > :26:08.about see off the last of those heavy showers tonight. Clear spells
:26:09. > :26:18.will start to develop. There will be some fog and mist forming at
:26:19. > :26:26.
:26:26. > :26:29.times. A widespread frost in store for most of us by tomorrow morning.
:26:29. > :26:34.Some good sunny spells through much of the day tomorrow. A little high
:26:34. > :26:39.cloud coming in from the North West. Possibly some hazy sunshine later
:26:39. > :26:49.in the day. It will feel a little fresher. Clear spells tomorrow
:26:49. > :26:54.night but the cloud is increasing. Lows of eight or nine Celsius. As
:26:54. > :27:04.we take a look ahead you can see this area of low pressure to the
:27:04. > :27:05.
:27:05. > :27:15.north of the UK. That will bring trouble for people further north.
:27:15. > :27:18.It will be a bit breezy on Thursday but some good sunny spells. More
:27:18. > :27:22.sunny spells on Friday and at the weekend.
:27:22. > :27:26.Thank you very much. Enjoy this season's! In the middle of winter,
