:00:09. > :00:11.Good evening. I'm Roisin Gauson. Sussex police have launched a
:00:11. > :00:14.murder investigation after a man was stabbed in Littlehampton last
:00:14. > :00:17.night. Police were called at around nine
:00:17. > :00:21.o'clock yesterday evening, after the incident at a flat in Beach
:00:21. > :00:24.Road. The man, in his 30s, died from his injuries. Twelve people
:00:24. > :00:27.are being questioned. Bargain hunters have descended on
:00:27. > :00:31.the south's high streets and shopping centres to make the most
:00:31. > :00:35.of the Boxing Day sales. But with incomes increasingly squeezed, are
:00:35. > :00:44.people spending like they used to? James Ingham braved the crush to
:00:44. > :00:51.send this report. With Christmas barely over,
:00:52. > :01:00.shoppers were back out today. There were plenty hair, if half-price
:01:00. > :01:10.wasn't enough, how about 75% off? Just popping out to see if they are
:01:10. > :01:11.
:01:11. > :01:19.any bargains. Just looking for shoes, trousers, things like that.
:01:19. > :01:23.Half price on most things. There was 70% of some things. So far,
:01:23. > :01:30.more people have come through the doors compared to last year. It is
:01:30. > :01:38.too early to confirm how much they have spent. Many retailers are
:01:38. > :01:41.counting on these post-Christmas sales. We know people don't have
:01:41. > :01:51.much money, we have been working hard to entice the customers to
:01:51. > :01:52.
:01:52. > :01:56.come in and spend money, and treat themselves. With predictions of a
:01:56. > :02:00.gloomy 2012, this period is vital for the retail sector.
:02:00. > :02:03.The installation of a 1,600 tonne bridge in Reading was delayed today.
:02:03. > :02:05.Crowds of people turned out to watch it being manoeuvred into
:02:05. > :02:10.place this afternoon but flooding in the foundations brought the work
:02:10. > :02:13.to a halt. The bridge is designed to alleviate a traffic bottleneck.
:02:13. > :02:17.It should be open by tomorrow. Football now, and plenty of action
:02:17. > :02:20.for all our teams in the Boxing Day fixtures. Southampton have moved
:02:20. > :02:25.four points clear at the top of the Championship after a 2-0 home win
:02:25. > :02:29.over Crystal Palace. Guilherme do Prado scored both goals. Portsmouth
:02:29. > :02:33.lost their first game in a run of five, beaten by a late goal at
:02:33. > :02:36.Millwall. Reading climb into the play off places after a 3-0 win
:02:36. > :02:39.over Brighton, who have lost their last three games.
:02:39. > :02:44.In League One, it was a one-all draw between Bournemouth and
:02:44. > :02:47.Brentford. Wycombe beat Exeter 3-1. And a good win for MK Dons, beating
:02:47. > :02:51.Leyton Orient 3-0. In League two, Oxford lost 2-0 to
:02:51. > :02:55.Wimbledon. The Aldershot game home to Southend was abandoned at half
:02:55. > :02:59.time due to floodlight failure. Crawley Town lost to Gillingham.
:02:59. > :03:03.Swindon were beaten away at Torquay. And Hampshire based trainer Nicky
:03:03. > :03:06.Henderson has had mixed fortunes at the boxing day meet at Kempton. In
:03:07. > :03:10.the big race of the day, the King George VI, Gold Cup winner Long Run
:03:10. > :03:13.narrowly missed out to Kauto Star. But Henderson did make it to the
:03:13. > :03:17.winners enclosure twice earlier in the day with stablemates Binocular
:03:17. > :03:20.and Tetlami. Now all the talk has been of the
:03:20. > :03:24.mild weather this Christmas, but just before we bring you the latest
:03:24. > :03:28.forecast. We've just got time to show you these pictures of swimmers
:03:29. > :03:31.taking a festive dip at Boscombe beach. The Bournemouth spartans
:03:31. > :03:35.meet every year on Christmas Day complete with fancy dress, whatever
:03:36. > :03:39.the weather. It may have been warmer than in
:03:39. > :03:41.pervious years, but you still wouldn't catch me braving the sea.
:03:41. > :03:47.wouldn't catch me braving the sea. But if you are planning an end of
:03:47. > :03:55.year dip - here's Reham to tell you what to expect.
:03:55. > :04:01.We still have cloud cover overhead this evening. Some drizzle, perhaps
:04:01. > :04:05.along the south coast. Tomorrow a similar to today, that have so
:04:05. > :04:15.little more brightness, but generally speaking, temperatures
:04:15. > :04:16.
:04:16. > :04:20.down to 10 -11 degrees. Overnight, some rain. A cooler feel on
