Hello, I'm Allen Sinclair with the news in the south. Critics of a | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
controversial waste incinerator plant for a Berkshire beauty spot | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
claim those behind it are trying to sneak the scheme through while | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
people's attention is elsewhere. A public consultation on the proposal | :00:17. | :00:27. | |
:00:27. | :00:31. | ||
began as most people were beginning Berkshire already has one waste | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
incinerator. But now the company behind this plant wants to build | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
another. While it will be close to a motorway, opposition figures | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
argued that the similarity ends. The timing of it being made public | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
is not an accident. This adventure is a completely commercial venture. | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
It is not required in Berkshire. It is not in partnership with the | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
district council. I am sure they are using every tactic they | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
possibly can to get this approved, possibly by putting it in this time | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
of year they are hoping it will take away from our ability to | :01:12. | :01:20. | |
respond. The company denied trying to slip this out quietly. They said | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
they did not expected to go public on the council website until the | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
new year. People have got until the end of January to make their views | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
known about the incinerator plans but that is not because of the | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
Christmas holidays but simply because of the controversial nature | :01:35. | :01:45. | |
:01:45. | :01:45. | ||
of what is planned. Just beyond the A man in his forties has been | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
stabbed to death at a house on Portland. Police say a 44 year-old | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
woman has been arrested and remains in custody. They are not looking | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
for anyone else in connection with the death. But they are urging | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
anyone who may have seen unusual activity near the house on Park | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
Road in the early hours of this morning to contact them. The | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
Transport Secretary says the government is committed to reducing | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
overcrowding on the south's railway lines. Justine Greening was | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
speaking after it was announced that 130 new carriages are going to | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
be built for Southern trains. It is the second big rail investment in | :02:11. | :02:21. | |
:02:21. | :02:26. | ||
Southern trains operates on the country's busiest services across | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
Surrey, Sussex and parts of Hampshire. This announcement sees | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
130 extra carriages introduced from the end of 2013. Able cost �188 | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
million. There will be longer trains on suburban services to | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
London, Victoria. They did not have plans to make further improvements | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
to services to places like Brighton. But the Transport Secretary | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
signalled the possibility of more investment in future. We want to | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
look at what more we can do to further improve capacity. We are | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
looking at rolling-stock as he might be aware. Next year is the | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
year when we do a long-term look about what we need in the next few | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
years, not just months. This comes six days after South West Trains | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
announced it will be introducing an extra 60 prefer bitched carriages | :03:18. | :03:27. | |

have commended neighbours for raising the alarm about a fire at a | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
house where 17 members of the same family were staying overnight. | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
Three people at the property in Didcot were given precautionary | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
checks by the ambulance service. The home was not fitted with smoke | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
detectors. Neighbours also pitched in to help control the fire and | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
care for evacuees. An Isle of Wight hospice stands to receive thousands | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
of pounds from sales of a charity single. A group of singers calling | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
themselves Isle of Wight Unite have recorded a version of the song, "We | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
Are the World". Over the past few weeks they have sold hundreds of | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
CDs of the track to raise money for the Earl Mountbatten Hospice. The | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
song even made a brief appearance on the downloads chart. Organiser | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
Simon Ledger chose to charity in memory of his father, who spent his | :04:04. | :04:14. | |
:04:14. | :04:16. | ||
We decided to use this charity because it was close to me because | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
my father spent his final few days in the hospice. I put this together | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
five years ago it. I got it planned and organised in three months. The | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
recording went amazingly well. In about four hours it took the solo | :04:32. | :04:41. | |
and choir part. CDs have gone on How is this for a takeaway? 1000 | :04:41. | :04:44. | |

Eye of the Tiger restaurant is A hectic end to 2011. The chefs at | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
this restaurant in Bournemouth are working particularly hard in the | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
run up to the new year, making meals for UN troops spending | :05:08. | :05:15. | |
Christmas in Sudan. Many of these dishes are very authentic. They do | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
not want artificial things mixed with it. It is not exactly the same | :05:20. | :05:27. | |
as my mum would make it in India but it is quite similar. The food | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
will be frozen and flown to Sudan. A chef from the restaurant is | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
travelling with the order to make sure everything gets there OK. | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
will be taking extra spices and herbs and if anything goes wrong, | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
he can replicate the food over there. They are used to dealing | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
with unusual orders. They once sent an order to the United States and | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
they are hoping this order goes down equally well. They are all | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
from the air force and I know half of them and they will have a big | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
grin on their faces. It will be flown out overnight on the 31st and | :06:06. | :06:13. | |

the year's day. -- New year's Day will stop --. Now the weather. | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
could get some showers in the Far West and it is still very windy. | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
That will stay with us tonight. It will be a colder night than recent | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
times. Temperatures down to four degrees in times -- towns and | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
cities. The best of the conditions will be on the south coast and a | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
lot more cloud during the day it will stop strong wind and rain on | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
and off. Feeling much colder and temperatures up to nine degrees and | :06:54. | :07:00. |
