:00:09. > :00:12.Good evening. I'm Laura Trant with the latest news in the south.
:00:12. > :00:15.Thames Valley Police have arrested three men on suspicion of the
:00:15. > :00:18.attempted murder of one of it's officers. Police were called to
:00:18. > :00:22.Stony Stratford near Milton Keynes yesterday morning. Officers were
:00:22. > :00:26.investigating reports a black taxi had been stolen. They later found
:00:26. > :00:36.it in the Hodge Lea Lane area. As one of the policemen went to look
:00:36. > :00:37.
:00:37. > :00:44.inside, the taxi reversed into him. It is one of our colleagues. This
:00:44. > :00:51.has shocked people here. He is stable in hospital. But there are
:00:51. > :00:54.serious injuries. He was out there doing his job. We are treating it
:00:55. > :00:58.as an attempted murder. Dive enthusiasts who want to turn
:00:58. > :01:01.HMS Ark Royal into a shipwreck off the Devon coast could be a step
:01:01. > :01:04.closer to seeing their dream come true. They've secured �6.5 million
:01:04. > :01:07.of funding from two companies who are backing the idea of making it
:01:07. > :01:11.into a reef. There are several rival bids on the table, and the
:01:11. > :01:14.Ministry of Defence is expected to announce who its sell the ship to
:01:14. > :01:17.in the next few weeks. Conservationists in Dorset are
:01:17. > :01:20.working to clear former Forestry Commission woodland. The rangers
:01:20. > :01:24.are felling the trees to return an area near Dorchester to heathland
:01:24. > :01:33.and create habitat for endangered wildlife. Roger Finn has been to
:01:33. > :01:42.see the work. This team of Dorset countryside rangers are working
:01:42. > :01:48.close to Thomas Hardy's Cottage at Higher Bockhampton. It needs
:01:48. > :01:56.careful managing. It is mainly being turned back into a Heath. It
:01:56. > :02:03.was a Forestry Commission land. Dartmoor ponies have been brought
:02:03. > :02:08.in to do their bit by nibbling back the scrub. It is hoped rare
:02:08. > :02:14.creatures can be attracted back such as sand lizards. Birch and
:02:14. > :02:18.pine trees have been felled and so have some of the harder woods. That
:02:18. > :02:23.has created an opportunity for a new enterprise. In the last few
:02:23. > :02:30.months, Rangers have started selling logs to local residents.
:02:30. > :02:34.Some have also been delivered to elderly people. It supports the
:02:34. > :02:41.work that we do and it will support volunteers and work placements. We
:02:41. > :02:46.can afford the training they need to help us do the job. A wood that
:02:46. > :02:48.pays his a wood that stays. Football and all of our sides have
:02:48. > :02:52.been in action this bank holiday afternoon. In the Championship, it
:02:52. > :02:56.was a lively south coast derby at the Amex Stadium today. Brighton
:02:56. > :02:59.opening the new year with an emphatic win against Southampton.
:02:59. > :03:03.But Southampton still remain top of the table on goal difference.
:03:03. > :03:07.Disappointment for Reading, losing 3-1 away to Cardiff. But a good
:03:07. > :03:10.home win for Portsmouth, beating Watford 2-0.
:03:10. > :03:15.In League One, Bournemouth had a good home win, beating Wycombe 2-0.
:03:15. > :03:19.And it was also a win today for MK Dons, by 1-0 at home to Colchester.
:03:19. > :03:22.In League Two, it was an edge of the seat draw for top of League Two
:03:22. > :03:26.Crawley Town, as they equalised in the 89th minute at Oxford United
:03:26. > :03:31.this afternoon. Aldershot slid further down the table as they lost
:03:31. > :03:36.1-0 at Gillingham. But it was a good bank holiday win for Swindon,
:03:36. > :03:39.that saw them beat Wimbledon 2-0. Just a word about this week's South
:03:39. > :03:43.Today. We'll be featuring three people who have a hidden condition,
:03:43. > :03:46.Aspergers. It's a high-functioning autism. On tomorrow's programme,

:03:53. > :03:56.charity worker, who's raised �43,000 for community projects. But
:03:56. > :04:00.for ten years now he's been out of work. Our health correspondent has
:04:00. > :04:04.spent time with Martin and his family to see how he deals with the
:04:04. > :04:08.stress, anxiety and creativity of his condition.
:04:08. > :04:18.Time for us to check how the weather's looking for the rest of
:04:18. > :04:18.
:04:18. > :04:23.It will be wet and windy by the end of the night. Becoming very windy
:04:23. > :04:30.and then drain arrives on the scene for many parts by the end of the
:04:30. > :04:38.night. The yellow warning is in force for wind. Gusts up to 60 or
:04:38. > :04:42.70 mph. A lot of rain as well for the first part of tomorrow morning.
