:00:08. > :00:12.Hello, I'm Sally Taylor, welcome to south Today. In the programme:

:00:12. > :00:18.Three people are injured after a helicopter crashes near a city

:00:18. > :00:22.centre. There was one plan on the floor, he

:00:22. > :00:25.looked unconscious, the other two were helping each other out.

:00:25. > :00:29.Profits warning - Southampton Airport's biggest operator feels

:00:29. > :00:34.the pinch as it faces challenging times.

:00:34. > :00:38.Radyi for action - the first deployment of the navy's newest

:00:38. > :00:42.class of Destroyer -- ready for action. Olympic triple gold

:00:42. > :00:47.medallist Ben Ainslie reflects on that moment on the water Down Under.

:00:47. > :00:57.25 years of racing at the highest level, I've never seen anything

:00:57. > :01:00.

:01:01. > :01:06.like it. Very disappointing for all Three people have been injured, one

:01:06. > :01:10.seriously, after a helicopter crashed in Salisbury. The

:01:10. > :01:15.helicopter hit a tree and came down in churchfields industrial estate

:01:15. > :01:19.just after 7.30am. People working nearby described seeing the

:01:19. > :01:25.helicopter flying low before hearing a bang. Rachael's been at

:01:25. > :01:28.the crash scene today and joins us from there now.

:01:28. > :01:32.When paramedics and fire crews arrived on the scene this morning,

:01:32. > :01:38.all three men had managed to get out of the helicopter. Two of them

:01:38. > :01:41.were about where I'm standing now. Tonight, I can still smell the

:01:41. > :01:45.aviation fuel. It's seeped into the ground around me. Above, the

:01:45. > :01:49.branches have been sliced through by the row tar blades of the

:01:49. > :01:53.helicopter. One police officer said today he thought it was amazing it

:01:53. > :01:57.hadn't just burst into thraims on impact and everyone managed to get

:01:57. > :02:02.out -- flames on impact and everyone managed to get out. The

:02:02. > :02:06.emergency call came just after 9.30. People working nearby watched the

:02:06. > :02:10.helicopter in trouble over these trees. He looked as if he was going

:02:10. > :02:15.to land in the field at the back and then all of a sudden, the tail

:02:15. > :02:18.end of the helicopter came up and he went down and sort of

:02:18. > :02:23.counteracted it, then it disappeared and you heard the

:02:23. > :02:26.engines cut out. It flipped over and tried to nose dive into the

:02:26. > :02:32.ground. I don't know how the pilot managed to pull the nose back up

:02:32. > :02:36.again. We saw the nose come back up, not horizontal, and then obviously

:02:36. > :02:40.it thuded into the ground. pilot and his passengers, all men

:02:40. > :02:45.in their 40s, had taken off from Bath this morning. As it came down,

:02:45. > :02:51.onlookers from the Churchfield industrial estate clambered through

:02:51. > :02:55.the woodland to help. There was a man on the floor, he

:02:55. > :03:00.was unconscious, the other two were helping each other out of the

:03:00. > :03:05.aircraft. All three were injured, one had a nasty gash on the hid.

:03:05. > :03:09.There were people the other side of the river shouting fire, so we got

:03:09. > :03:14.a fire extinguisher from the workshop and I did my best to put

:03:14. > :03:17.the smoke out from the engine -- gash on the head. Two men were

:03:17. > :03:22.airlifted to Southampton General Hospital. The third man was taken

:03:22. > :03:26.to Salisbury district hospital in an ambulance. Police say the pilot

:03:26. > :03:30.has a head injury and all three men have injuries to their back and

:03:30. > :03:33.legs but police say it was remarkable no-one was killed.

:03:34. > :03:36.been extensively damaged and we are amazed anyone's escaped, but we are

:03:37. > :03:41.delighted that we have three people out of the aircraft and that

:03:41. > :03:44.they're not seriously injured. Investigators have spent the day

:03:45. > :03:49.here examining the crash scene and spooking to witnesses. But Sally,

:03:49. > :03:55.what we still don't know this evening is where the helicopter was

:03:55. > :03:59.heading, who was on board and what caused it to crash in the woodlands.

:03:59. > :04:03.Three men have been charged with kofpb spiring to steal more than �2

:04:03. > :04:07.million from the University of Sussex. Two men from Leicester aged

:04:07. > :04:11.35 and 36, and a 33-year-old from Dewsbury in West Yorkshire are

:04:11. > :04:15.accused of conspiring to steal in October 2010. It's alleged money

:04:15. > :04:24.paid by the university for building work on new student accommodation

:04:24. > :04:26.was unlawfully diverted to an unrelated account. The men appear -

:04:27. > :04:29.- appeared in Magistrates Court today.

:04:29. > :04:35.The biggest airline at Southampton Airport warned it's making

:04:35. > :04:39.significantly less money today than it expected. Flybe's share price

:04:39. > :04:42.dropped by a fifth and the airline said it was cutting flights. I'm

:04:42. > :04:47.joined by our Transport Correspondent, Paul Clifton here in

:04:47. > :04:53.the studio. Sounds serious? It is. This is a second profits warning

:04:53. > :04:56.from Flybe. Why does that matter? Flybe is the overwhelmingly

:04:56. > :05:04.dominant operator at Southampton Airport, operating three out of

:05:04. > :05:08.four flights there. It serves 36 of the airports -- airport's 48 routes,

:05:08. > :05:13.including the most particular services. Flybe says it's cut the

:05:13. > :05:18.flights in the UK by 6prst this winter because of falling demand --

:05:18. > :05:24.6%. Southampton Airport says it hasn't seen the level of drop-off

:05:24. > :05:30.in demand that other airports have. What impact is it having? Fliebe

:05:30. > :05:34.expanded rapidly for a decade, now it's selling off surplus planes

:05:34. > :05:38.instead -- Flybe. The share price dropped today by 20% and it stands

:05:38. > :05:43.a at a sixth of the value it reached a year ago. Analysts say it

:05:43. > :05:50.won't turn a profit this year, Flybe itself describes business as

:05:50. > :05:53.challenging, but it says it has a strong future in the long-term.--

:05:53. > :05:59.Southampton Airport depends heavily on Flybe. So what does it say about

:05:59. > :06:03.the health of the airports? People are feeling the pinch, flying less.

:06:03. > :06:07.Partly that's due to the rising cost of fuel, pushing up fares.

:06:07. > :06:12.It's also, according to the airlines down partly to increasing

:06:12. > :06:14.taxation. Business travel's down a little, leisure travel is down more,

:06:14. > :06:19.Bournemouth Airport's seen passenger numbers fall, though

:06:20. > :06:23.Gatwick is doing very well. It's still growing. Transport is a key

:06:23. > :06:28.indicator of the state of the economy. When it picks up, people

:06:28. > :06:33.will go back to flying and travelling more. But in the short-

:06:33. > :06:36.term, airports and airlines are facing a bumpy ride. One analyst

:06:36. > :06:39.told me, don't expect a bounce back any time soon.

:06:39. > :06:42.Thank you very much. A former Metropolitan police

:06:42. > :06:46.officer living in Berkshire has been arrested on suspicion of

:06:46. > :06:49.misconduct in public office and Data Protection Act offences. The

:06:49. > :06:52.man is being questioned at a Thames Valley police station by

:06:52. > :06:56.investigators from the Independent Police Complaints Commission. A

:06:56. > :06:58.spokesperson said the arrest related to the alleged passing of

:06:58. > :07:02.unauthorised information to a journalist.

:07:02. > :07:07.Thousands of commuters were caught in traffic chaos during this

:07:07. > :07:13.morn's's rush hour after a lorry spilled diesel along a 16 mile

:07:13. > :07:17.route between Surrey and Hampshire. It began to leak from Farnborough

:07:17. > :07:20.to Knaphill. It led to some accidents which caused some roads

:07:21. > :07:24.to be closed. An investigation is under way.

:07:24. > :07:28.Manipulative and devious, words used in court to describe the man

:07:28. > :07:31.accused of murdering Hampshire pensioner Georgina Edmonds. The

:07:31. > :07:38.prosecution claimed Matthew Hamlen tried to set up a false alibi for

:07:38. > :07:48.the day the 77-year-old was beaten to death in January 2008. 33-year-

:07:48. > :07:49.

:07:49. > :07:54.old from bishop Stoke denies murder. Georgina Edmonds was found dead.

:07:54. > :07:58.Today a court was told a man accused of her murder tried to

:07:58. > :08:03.concoct a false alibi. Police recorded Matthew Hamlen talking to

:08:03. > :08:13.his mother while he was in police custody following his arrest in

:08:13. > :08:18.

:08:18. > :08:25.Today, the court heard that Matthew Hamlen hadn't known Gary or Sarah

:08:25. > :08:29.at the time of the murder. Michael BeausQC prosecuting said "What you

:08:29. > :08:36.were doing was setting your mother up so see if she would go round and

:08:36. > :08:39.see if Gary would do you a favour." "what you did was extremely

:08:39. > :08:44.manipulative and devious". Hamlen said he'd never set his mother up.

:08:44. > :08:48.He told the court "this was a private conversation with my mum."

:08:48. > :08:51.he said at no point did he give police a false alibi. The

:08:51. > :08:59.prosecution Saima thue Hamlen repeatedly stabbed Mrs Edmonds

:08:59. > :09:09.before beating her to death with a rolling pin. -- -- say Matthew

:09:09. > :09:12.

:09:12. > :09:17.Hamlen. The prosecutor said Mr Hamlen was not in a great place in

:09:17. > :09:20.2008. Mr Hamlen said that wasn't the case and went on to say "I did

:09:20. > :09:24.not kill Mrs Edmonds, I would not and could not do something like

:09:24. > :09:33.that, you can twist the facts and figures however you like, but that

:09:33. > :09:37.doesn't change the fact this wasn't me". The case continues.

:09:37. > :09:42.Fireworks which shot into a crowd of spectators causing some minor

:09:42. > :09:45.injuries at a Christmas festival were set up incorrectly due to

:09:45. > :09:48.ambiguous instructions on the box according to the organisers. An

:09:48. > :09:51.investigation was launched following the accident at the

:09:51. > :09:55.Blandford Yuletide Festival in December in which six rockets went

:09:55. > :09:59.off in the wrong direction. Dorset Trading Standards says it will

:09:59. > :10:02.contact the manufacturers. The festival organisers will seek

:10:02. > :10:10.additional advice for next year's event.

:10:10. > :10:19.Stay with us because still to come: The cooperative workers toasting

:10:19. > :10:25.their hopes for a business success. An investigation has started after

:10:25. > :10:30.a fire damaged 11 cars on Portland. Firefighters were called overnight

:10:30. > :10:33.following the blaze which broke out next to Inmosthay Quarry. Two

:10:34. > :10:39.shipping containers, an empty horse box and mobile building were all

:10:39. > :10:43.damaged in the fire. People who enjoy diving in the

:10:43. > :10:47.waters off the Dorset coast have started a campaign to save the

:10:47. > :10:52.search and rescue helicopter which is based at Portland. The

:10:53. > :10:56.Department for Transport plans to concern trait south coast cover at

:10:56. > :11:02.Lee on the Solent in Hampshire. Divers say lives are at risk and

:11:03. > :11:06.they will take their message to the Prime Minister tomorrow.

:11:06. > :11:11.The waters around Weymouth and Dorset are a Mecca for divers with

:11:11. > :11:15.200 wrecks within 20 miles. Even in January, expert divers like Nigel

:11:15. > :11:19.Holder have no hesitation in setting out, secure in the

:11:19. > :11:25.knowledge that the coastguard helicopters are close at hand if he

:11:25. > :11:28.gets into difficulty, as they have done in the past. A diver suffering

:11:28. > :11:32.from decompression sickness, the injuries are dependent on time. The

:11:32. > :11:36.longer you leave it, the worse the injuries, so the quick response is

:11:36. > :11:41.very important. On one occasion, we had a lady who I was diving at the

:11:41. > :11:47.time with her, she said that she couldn't move her legs and she was

:11:47. > :11:52.losing her sight. The helicopter was there within five minutes.

:11:52. > :11:57.year, 45 divers were taken to the decompression chamber at Poole. The

:11:57. > :12:01.current plan is for ten helicopters stationed equally around the coast.

:12:01. > :12:06.But divers argue they should be placed where they are needed most.

:12:06. > :12:10.With a quarter of Britain's total helicopter resources coordinated by

:12:10. > :12:18.Brixham, Portland or Lee-on-Solent, the Dorset MP Richard Drax believes

:12:18. > :12:21.a quarter of the resources should be available. We had a diver swept

:12:21. > :12:26.around Portland who, some would say, might have been drowned or lost for

:12:26. > :12:29.longer had it not been for the fact the helicopter was there within

:12:29. > :12:33.minutes. Tomorrow he'll make his case directly to the Prime Minister.

:12:33. > :12:39.The Department of Transport says the plan to shut Portland and RAF

:12:39. > :12:42.Bulmer in the north-east will not compromise safety. Recently, they

:12:42. > :12:47.spent �5 million on the new coastguard centre which will have a

:12:47. > :12:51.high profile during the Olympics. It's not just the divers worried

:12:51. > :12:55.about rescue cover, with plans for a new ferry service from Weymouth

:12:55. > :13:03.to France and huge offshore windfarms in the pipeline as the

:13:03. > :13:07.cuts take effect, the demand for the helicopter services is rising.

:13:07. > :13:12.Part of the M4 near Reading will be closed tonight to undergo essential

:13:12. > :13:17.maintenance. Work will be carried out where the motorway crosses the

:13:17. > :13:21.river Lodden between junctions 10 and 11. Diversions will be in place

:13:21. > :13:25.between 10 and 5.30 tomorrow morning.

:13:25. > :13:30.A new chapter in the history of the Royal Navy will begin tomorrow when

:13:30. > :13:34.HMS Daring sets sail for the Middle East. It's the first time one of

:13:34. > :13:41.the navy's new �1 billion Type-45 Destroyers has been sent on an

:13:41. > :13:47.operational deployment. It comes amid rising tensions in the Gulf.

:13:47. > :13:50.There have been hundreds of last- minute jobs for the crew of HMS

:13:50. > :13:54.Daring as the countdown continues to the start of her voyage to the

:13:54. > :13:58.Middle East. It's the first time one of the navy's new Type-45

:13:58. > :14:01.Destroyers is going on an operational deployment. It comes

:14:01. > :14:05.after months or training and testing, much of it revolving

:14:05. > :14:10.around the ship's sophisticated radar and missile system.

:14:10. > :14:14.I think everyone's really excited. It's been such a big build-up and

:14:14. > :14:18.workup to get to this point. Everyone's keen to get going to do

:14:18. > :14:22.what they've been trained for. key part is that this is Daring, it

:14:22. > :14:25.feels special to be part of it because of that fact, she's the

:14:26. > :14:29.first of the class, the first of the deployment. The Ministry of

:14:29. > :14:34.Defence is describing it as a routine deployment, but it comes

:14:34. > :14:37.against a background of increased tensions in the Middle East with

:14:37. > :14:42.Iran threatening to close the straits of Hormuz, a vital artery

:14:42. > :14:46.for oil shipments. Events can unfold rapidly, as we saw with

:14:46. > :14:49.Libya last year, so I wouldn't put any money or what may or may not

:14:49. > :14:56.happen. We are deploying on a routine operation but are ready for

:14:56. > :15:00.anything. The navy is getting six Type-45s, each costing �1 billion.

:15:00. > :15:04.The ships were built in huge sections, the front end constructed

:15:04. > :15:10.in Portsmouth. All the parts were assembled on the Clyde in Scotland.

:15:10. > :15:14.HMS Daring first arrived in Portsmouth on a cold misty morning

:15:14. > :15:20.in January 2009. Tomorrow she leave force the warmth

:15:20. > :15:24.and sunshine of the Middle East. She'll be aware -- away for seven

:15:24. > :15:28.months. HMS Daring leaving Portsmouth

:15:28. > :15:33.tomorrow. A project to try to stop rare wildlife being destroyed on

:15:33. > :15:36.Portland in Dorset has just been launched. Portland in Peril aims to

:15:36. > :15:42.halt an alien plant invasion. It's being funded with hundreds of

:15:42. > :15:47.thousands of pounds from the landfill tax.

:15:47. > :15:51.Experts from Dorset Wildlife Trust are on Safari, making their way

:15:51. > :15:58.through disused quarries on Portland. But it's not big gain

:15:58. > :16:04.they're after, it's something much more down-to-earth. Jess and John

:16:04. > :16:08.are wanting to seek out and destroy a common garden plant which has

:16:08. > :16:14.gone wild and which is smuggling natural habitats which are

:16:14. > :16:19.important for rare species, such as the Common blue, Adonis blue and

:16:19. > :16:25.Chalkhill blue butterflies. You can see this has gone back in. We need

:16:25. > :16:29.to cut that again. It's growing like a car pet... Money for the

:16:29. > :16:35.project was awarded by a company that distributes money from the

:16:35. > :16:42.landfill tax. Sam from Dorset Wildlife Trust says

:16:42. > :16:48.these garden escapees have become far too successful. We have the

:16:48. > :16:51.limestone grass with the plant here slowly establishing. As it becomes

:16:51. > :16:56.more carpet-like, in the end, we end up with a growth pattern that's

:16:56. > :17:00.much more like a doormat where it's completely blocked out everything

:17:00. > :17:04.underneath it. The disused quarries on Portland are truly a very

:17:04. > :17:08.special place. The ultimate aim is to attract many more green tourists

:17:08. > :17:17.here, creating long-term and sustainable local employment. But

:17:17. > :17:21.for now, there's an awful lot of plants to cut and prune.

:17:21. > :17:24.Those of you who enjoy a drink may have had a tipple over the holidays

:17:24. > :17:29.and decided to give up booze for January. Of course, you could go

:17:29. > :17:35.another way. How about owning a brewery? The Cooperative has been

:17:35. > :17:39.set up to run a micro-brewery in stening and it's looking for

:17:39. > :17:43.members. The men sipping at the round table hope to create some

:17:43. > :17:47.legendary ale. If you have a taste for beer and suspect you have a

:17:47. > :17:50.brewer's touch, they want to hear from you. They formed a Cooperative

:17:50. > :17:55.to run a brewery and they are looking for members. Somebody who's

:17:55. > :17:58.got a bit of time, prepared to invest a few hundred pounds and is

:17:58. > :18:03.enthusiastic about local beers. They can spend the odd afternoon

:18:03. > :18:07.here and there when they've got the time and contribute to making

:18:07. > :18:17.something that's good to drink. This is where the magic happens,

:18:17. > :18:22.the Adur wp valley Cooperative has taken over a micro-brewery -- Adur

:18:22. > :18:26.Valley Cooperative. The Co-op is ready to go into full production

:18:26. > :18:33.soon and there's an open day this weekend at the brewery to show

:18:33. > :18:39.potential members what's involved. All but one is a man with a beard.

:18:39. > :18:44.Women need not apply or should apply? If they like their drink,

:18:44. > :18:48.they are more than welcome to apply. They don't need a beard? No.

:18:48. > :18:53.Cooperative says despite challenging financial conditions,

:18:53. > :18:58.the cask ale market is growing and the brewery aims to expand its

:18:58. > :19:03.customer base beyond Sussex. What one word would you associate

:19:03. > :19:09.with the beer you are creating? Flavour. Relaxation Happiness.

:19:09. > :19:13.Pleasure. Company. Joy. ALL: Cheers...

:19:13. > :19:17.Tough times to open a Cooperative but to keep it going, but good luck

:19:17. > :19:20.to them. Tony is here with the sport. Been Ainsley in a moment?

:19:20. > :19:25.Yes, a big announcement about his racing team which I'll tell you

:19:25. > :19:28.about in a moment. It's the 2 chance we have had to speak to him

:19:28. > :19:33.since the remarkable incident at the World Championships in Perth.

:19:33. > :19:37.He got on the press boat didn't he? He was so angered by the actions of

:19:37. > :19:41.the press boat in getting too close to him that there he was getting in

:19:42. > :19:45.the water, had a go at the boat then jumped back, got disqualified

:19:45. > :19:50.and wasn't a great moment for him. Many said it was out of character?

:19:50. > :19:54.It was, but gave you an insight into what a fearsome competitor and

:19:54. > :19:59.how serious he takes it. Interesting. Yes, it was

:19:59. > :20:03.interesting to see the reaction, he's got to find out if he'll face

:20:03. > :20:07.any sanction, but he had another big announcement today. Aiming to

:20:07. > :20:13.become Britain's most successful Olympian on sailing isn't enough

:20:13. > :20:16.for him, he's planning to put Britain back on the map in the

:20:16. > :20:21.America's Cup. He announced a new team which will take to the water

:20:21. > :20:24.this year. He spoke at length about that incident with the press boat

:20:24. > :20:29.at the World Championships in December too.

:20:29. > :20:33.Ben Ainslie has helped Britain rule the wave force a decade. His

:20:33. > :20:38.Olympic exploits have ensured legendary status. In an Olympic

:20:38. > :20:42.year, he's looking beyond the Games and fixing his sights on the

:20:42. > :20:47.greatest sailing event of them all. The Americas Cup has a great

:20:47. > :20:51.heritage in sailing and history and the moves they've made from mono

:20:51. > :20:58.holes to multi-holes, much more exciting boats, the course and the

:20:59. > :21:03.race is shorter and it makes the boats more physical to sail.

:21:03. > :21:07.Ainslie racing will enter the Americas Cup World Series, an

:21:07. > :21:11.exhibition series designed to attract interest in the main

:21:12. > :21:15.Americas cup. He will also link up with the

:21:15. > :21:18.Oracle team for their defence of the cup next year. Long-term,

:21:18. > :21:27.Ainsley could spearhead a British attempt to win the cup back.

:21:27. > :21:31.To compete in the America's Cup World Series, that is relatively

:21:31. > :21:37.expensive -- inexpensive. We hope to test water and hope to build the

:21:37. > :21:40.team up to be a viable, successful challenger. Upper most are the

:21:40. > :21:45.Olympics in Portland and Weymouth and his outburst in Perth last

:21:45. > :21:52.month suggested the pressure is on. It was very, very unfortunate and

:21:52. > :21:56.obviously I regret what happened but absolutely in 25 years of

:21:56. > :21:59.racing at the highest level I've never seen anything like it and

:21:59. > :22:03.very disappointing for everyone concerned. A tribunal sits next

:22:03. > :22:13.month to decide what, if any sanction Ainsley could face, but it

:22:13. > :22:17.will be an unwelcome distraction in a big year. Certainly a big year

:22:17. > :22:21.for Ben Ainslie in. An hour exSussex will play their first

:22:21. > :22:25.match of the Caribbean 2020 tournament in Antigua. Tonight,

:22:25. > :22:29.they play the Netherlands. Last year, Hampshire reached the

:22:29. > :22:35.final and Sussex are looking forward to the challenge.

:22:35. > :22:39.Bit of an unknown really. We've not played for three months outdoors.

:22:39. > :22:43.People have been training hard in the winter. It will be a good test

:22:43. > :22:47.to see where we are. A few good results and hopefully we can get

:22:47. > :22:54.through to finals day. We have a lot of young players, a

:22:54. > :22:58.lot of people to show what they can do. 2020 is a big part of the

:22:58. > :23:03.English diet now and to give some game time to players who wouldn't

:23:03. > :23:06.naturally get it, that will be really positive for the future of

:23:06. > :23:12.the club. We'll show you some moments from their opening match

:23:12. > :23:18.tomorrow. If you want to listen to the game though, there's commentary

:23:18. > :23:24.on the official website. January is the transfer window in which many

:23:24. > :23:32.of our football clubs are busy recruiting players and Bournemouth

:23:32. > :23:38.are hot on the trail of Tubbs. Tubbs had two bids dismissed.

:23:38. > :23:42.Crawley are top of League Two. Poole Pirates have signed the

:23:42. > :23:46.biggest sponsorship deal in history. They go into this season as

:23:46. > :23:49.defending league champions after reclaiming the crown last year. The

:23:49. > :23:55.three-year deal with local firm Coastal Aluminium will enable the

:23:55. > :23:59.club to move forward with continuity, according to promoter

:23:59. > :24:02.Matt Ford. Tomorrow night, Brian Thompson will be talking to us,

:24:02. > :24:04.back from his round the world voyage.

:24:04. > :24:08.Extraordinary feat that is, fabulous.

:24:08. > :24:13.On to the weather now. Last night, you were saying that you walked a

:24:13. > :24:20.possible five feet from your house to your car? Yes. And thought, my

:24:20. > :24:24.goodness, it's mild. I don't think I put a coat on. It's a degree

:24:24. > :24:30.milder than yesterday. I'll pay more attention to you tonight.

:24:30. > :24:34.want a scarf by the weekend. your thermals yes, if you are out

:24:34. > :24:38.doing football. He won't make the doing football. He won't make the

:24:38. > :24:42.walk! It's getting cold! Certainly is, yes. Lovely pictures

:24:42. > :24:45.though. Carole Fornachon captured the moon before the sun rose in

:24:45. > :24:50.Dorset and Chris Waite took this picture of a lovely calm sea for

:24:50. > :24:54.the moment, but limited brightness in Lepe in Hampshire.

:24:54. > :24:58.Last one from Grahame Howard who captured two blue tits in Weymouth.

:24:58. > :25:01.Very mild temperatures at the moment. It turns colder Friday

:25:01. > :25:10.onwards. This is what is happening with the temperatures. Above

:25:10. > :25:17.seasonal afternoon at the moment, but dipping below on Friday. --

:25:17. > :25:21.above seasonal average at the moment. Below freezing by Friday

:25:21. > :25:25.and Saturday. Enjoy the mild temperatures today and tomorrow.

:25:25. > :25:30.Mild and cloudy tonight. A lot of cloud cover with some breaks. We

:25:30. > :25:39.could have the odd isolated frost pocket where the skies stay clear

:25:39. > :25:42.for the longest period. A mild start tomorrow. A better day than

:25:42. > :25:46.today. More sunshine. The cloud should break up by the afternoon.

:25:46. > :25:53.One or two mist and fog patches first thing, but temperatures very

:25:53. > :25:57.like today will rise above 10 so 10-12 still above the seasonal

:25:57. > :26:02.average, 5-6 above the norm and more cloud tomorrow night. A repeat

:26:02. > :26:06.performance of tonight. We hold on to the cloud cover, one or two

:26:06. > :26:11.clear spells. A spot of drizzle for western areas and temperatures down

:26:11. > :26:15.to around 7-9. It is all change on Thursday. The day will start on a

:26:15. > :26:19.mild note and high pressure still remains in charge. Once this cold

:26:19. > :26:22.front sinks south and eastwards, the air behind it will be a lot

:26:22. > :26:26.clearer. There will be cooler air coming in from the north, so a

:26:26. > :26:32.cooler feel to things, Thursday night onwards. Frosty on Friday.

:26:32. > :26:35.Maybe some mist and fog patches first thing, but it's an improving

:26:35. > :26:38.picture. Lovely sunny conditions and lovely on Saturday, although

:26:38. > :26:42.there may be more cloud on Saturday than Friday and this is what is out

:26:42. > :26:46.in the wings. There is a little uncertainty to this weather front

:26:46. > :26:50.which will head towards us on Sunday. Maybe some wintry showers

:26:50. > :26:53.on the cards. One or two sunny spells will develop tomorrow after

:26:53. > :26:58.a cloudy start. The rain heads south on Thursday, behind it the

:26:58. > :27:02.cooler air and frosty starts on Friday and Saturday. Getting nippy!

:27:02. > :27:10.Winter's coming! Well, for the weekend anyway. Tomorrow, very

:27:10. > :27:16.excited because Warhorse is out at the moment. Sunday night Leicester

:27:16. > :27:19.Square, they got the horse on the red camp et. We'll do our take on

:27:19. > :27:24.it tomorrow, not a three-hour version but two interesting stories,

:27:24. > :27:28.one tomorrow night, both horses are called Warrior, had a huge role in
