Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's | :00:04. | :00:07. | |
programme: A lucky escape from this crash - | :00:07. | :00:17. | |
:00:17. | :00:17. | ||
how the pilot, one of the survivors, walked away with minor injuries. | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
My choices were a river or tree, so I picked the fluffy list looking | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
tree. In danger of falling silent - why | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
the bells may not toll for the Olympics. | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
The stowaway sparrow that has swapped the Med for the Solent and | :00:30. | :00:39. | |
got them all a-twitter. It is getting fed every day, why go | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
back to Turkey where they should Sparrow's? | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
And, as the fictional War Horse film hits the silver screen, we | :00:44. | :00:54. | |
:00:54. | :00:57. | ||
hear the true tale of a Great War The pilot of a helicopter which | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
crashed in Salisbury has been reliving the moment his aircraft | :00:59. | :01:08. | |
lost power. Andy ridings was at the controls of the helicopter when it | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
came down in woodland about a mile from the city centre. He and a | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
passenger suffered minor injuries. Another passenger remains in | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
hospital with cracked vertebrae. John Maguire has been to hear the | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
tale of a remarkable estate. He is stiff, sore, has 70 staples | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
in his head, but he is alive. Frightening is something to be | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
instilled in you, you have time to think about it, but there was no | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
time to become frightened and well on it. It was just, something went | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
wrong and I had to do something. Little more than 24 hours since his | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
helicopter crashed, Andy was back at work at his waste-management | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
business near Bath reflecting on what might have been. Yesterday | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
morning he was taking off after a meeting in Salisbury and realised | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
the engine had failed and there was little time to react. He feared the | :02:00. | :02:10. | |
:02:10. | :02:13. | ||
worst. I thought that all the way, but as human body is built of four | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
fight or flight, the adrenalin kicks in, and you just do your best. | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
I would say, really, it is tenders and skill, 90% good fortune, and | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
somebody was smiling on us. -- 10% skill. Andy opted to fly the | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
aircraft into a tree to soften the landing. His passengers also | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
escaped serious injury. It is not yet known what caused the problem | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
and he will submit a report to the Air Accident Investigation Branch. | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
So, has any of this put him off flying? I have been flying since I | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
was 16, and this is the first time I have written off and aircraft, | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
but I walked away and there is the old adage, or any accident you walk | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
away from is a good one. There will still be the scars and memories of | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
this crash and the day that all three cheated death and survived to | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
tell the tale. A man has told a jury that he saw | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
his girlfriend hit a disabled friend around the head with a | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
rounders bat and saying, "I'm going to finish him off". Jon Ellison was | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
found dead at his flat in Brighton last April. David Sole and Denise | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
Antonia, who had recently moved in with Mr Ellison, are both on trial | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
for his murder. Our reporter Sean Killick is in Brighton for us | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
tonight. Just remind us of the background of this case. | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
Jon Ellison was an alcoholic, disabled and terminally ill. He | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
lived in central Brighton. Lewes Crown Court has been told his flat | :03:47. | :03:54. | |
was a drugs and drinking den with various people visiting there. Last | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
April, friends found him dead on his bed, his head badly beaten. | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
Paramedics pronounced him dead. In court, he was described as a | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
harmless and caring man who let many friends use his home as an | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
open house. David Sole, aged 33, has denied his murder. At the time, | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
he was living at the flat with his girlfriend, 33-year-old Denise | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
Antonia, who also denies murder. The pair were arrested in | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
Winchester the following day. So how is Mr Ellison alleged to | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
have died? In a police interview, Denise | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
Antonia said Mr Ellison had intervened in a fight the couple | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
were having, and her boyfriend had repeatedly hit Mr Ellison with a | :04:27. | :04:35. | |
rounders bat. Today, David Sole said he had been stocked with the | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
bat and blacked out. When he came round, he found he was holding the | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
bat, and Mr Ellison was lying on the bed covered in blood, and his | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
girlfriend were shouting, you have gone too far. But he said his | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
girlfriend then took the bat and delivered a blow to Mr Ellison's | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
head and said, there is no point leaving him here like that, I will | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
finish him off. David Sole then said he took the bat, and told his | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
girlfriend he was leaving the house and did not want her to follow him. | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
The trial will continue tomorrow. Thank you very much. | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
Parents at a Berkshire school have been told three teachers, including | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
the head, will be absent for the foreseeable future. The Board of | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
Governors at Willowbank Junior School in Woodley told parents and | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
staff yesterday that headteacher Joe Moyster, his deputy Alan | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
Ridgeway, and another teacher, Grant Close, would all be absent | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
from the school. The reason is not clear, but Wokingham Borough | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
Council says parents will be kept informed. | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
Four years ago today, 77-year-old Georgina Edmonds was found stabbed | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
and beaten to death at her cottage in Brambridge, near Eastleigh. | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
Today, the man accused of her murder told a court he is not an | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
aggressive person. Matthew Hamlen, 33, from Bishopstoke, denies murder. | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
I am joined by our home affairs correspondent Alex Forsyth, who has | :05:50. | :05:58. | |
been following this case. What did Matthew Hamlen say today? | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
This morning was the third day he was in the witness box giving | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
evidence in his defence. Yesterday the prosecution said that around | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
the time of Georgina Edmonds' murder, Matthew Hamlen used to walk | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
up and down the river towpath near her home to get rid of his | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
aggression. Today he was asked about that and said, that is not | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
the case. He went on to say that he is not an aggressive person at all. | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
He was asked for any reason he might have been in the area near | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
her home. He said he might have been in the pub or driving through. | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
So he was asked what he was doing on that day? | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
He has been repeatedly asked and repeatedly said he cannot remember | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
exactly what he was doing on Monday four years ago but has been picked | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
up on CCTV in and around Eastleigh town centre that evening. This is | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
footage of him in Sainsbury's. He says he was buying cakes for his | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
girlfriend who was away and to that that weekend. But because | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
identification has been quite a central issue in this case, these | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
are some of the first in it -- first images we have seen publicly | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
of Matthew Hamlen. The prosecution says it shows him going shopping | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
after he killed Georgina Edmonds, but Mr Hamlen, of course, denies | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
murder. The case is due to continue tomorrow. | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
Thank you. It is meant to be the way that we | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
welcome the Olympic Games. In just 198 days, London 2012 will get | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
underway. And on the day the Games begin, organisers want people in | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
the South to help simultaneously ring every bell in the country at 8 | :07:29. | :07:38. | |
o'clock in the morning. But, as Ed Sherry reports, bells in some | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
churches around the region will be staying silent. | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
Weymouth and Portland is the home of Olympic sailing, but even here | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
at 8am the bells will stay silent. We normally do not ring much before | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
9am. The logistics of ringing for three minutes is not really very | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
practical because most things take more than three minutes. Bell's | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
only have one volume, and basically only one speed. This is what artist | :08:07. | :08:17. | |
:08:17. | :08:17. | ||
Martin Creed hopes that were at 197 will sound like on July 27th -- | :08:17. | :08:27. | |
:08:27. | :08:28. | ||
1197. This work, in order to work, needs a lot of people to do it, it | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
totally relies on people to make it happen. It is all part of the | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
London Festival, a nationwide celebration of the arts that runs | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
alongside the Olympic Games. Quite a lot of churches have signed up | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
and over the next few months we hope churches that have any | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
concerns will contact us and we can work through any issues they have, | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
and make sure that they can all join in the fund, because it will | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
be great fun. But the bells will be run at a 10th. A special mobile | :09:00. | :09:07. | |
phone app is being developed. -- will be wrong at 8am. What I hope | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
is that throughout the diocese, as many ringers as possible ring their | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
bells during the course of that day for what they feel is appropriate. | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
Some churches will ring for a shorter period of time, some | :09:23. | :09:33. | |
:09:33. | :09:33. | ||
probably for a longer period of time. | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
Watch the birdie! That is what twitchers have been doing in a | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
coastal Hampshire village. Hundreds of them have travelled many miles | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
in the hope of seeing a rare visitor, a Spanish sparrow, which | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
has moved into the gardens and hedgerows of Calshot. The sparrow | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
has not been seen in Britain since the mid-90s, and its presence here | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
is creating quite a flutter of excitement. Chris Coneybeer reports. | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
It is a story of adventure, a long and dangerous journey ending in | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
avian romance. The Spanish Barratt is now safely on British shores, | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
and bird watchers for many miles have come to see him. As soon as he | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
is spotted, they move in. We set off about 4 km from Leeds this | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
morning. It is a good example of an adult male Spanish sparrow. It is | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
really nice to see. Literally anything new for my list I will go | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
and see. Straight away, we will charter planes, boats, I would do | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
anything to go and see a bird, spend unlimited amounts of money. | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
Local residents are slightly overwhelmed but mostly tolerant. | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
actually think it is winning Nice, and the people I think are quite | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
relaxed about it, people have not started going into other people's | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
gardens without permission, and I believe this weekend we will open | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
the village hall. The Spanish Barrow is from the Mediterranean, | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
possibly Spain or Turkey or North Africa, and almost certainly caught | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
a passing ship to get here. Since arriving, he has been mating, | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
producing half English, half Spanish sparrows. This Barrow is | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
living happily here with other sparrows, it has clearly bred with | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
one of those, and there is plenty of food available, it is fed every | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
day in gardens. Why would it want to go back to Turkey, where they | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
shoot them? It is still early morning and already 100 | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
birdwatchers have come and gone. It is expected this weekend the number | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
of human visitors will go to four figures. And they will be able to | :11:35. | :11:45. | |
:11:45. | :11:48. | ||
Opposition is growing towards a controversial gas drilling | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
technique which has been linked to earthquakes, and it's feared could | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
happen in parts of Sussex. Cuadrilla has been given permission | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
for exploratory drilling at a site in Balcombe, but insists it has no | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
plans to carry out any work at this time. Locals fear the impact it | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
would have. They are holding a public meeting tonight. | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
The food giant Nestle says it is going to move its UK headquarters | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
from South London to West Sussex. The relocation of 840 members of | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
staff from Nestle Towers in Croydon to a new site close to Gatwick | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
Airport will be complete by the end of the year. | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
Still to come in this evening's South Today: | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
What does a record-breaking round- the-world sailor treat himself to | :12:26. | :12:36. | |
:12:36. | :12:36. | ||
when he gets home? I had a nectarine, that was | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
unbelievable! Some fresh bread with just butter, that was the best meal | :12:40. | :12:48. | |
A delegation from Dorset who are concerned about plans to axe the | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
county's search and rescue helicopter say a meeting with David | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
Cameron today went well. The Government plans to shut the | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
service, which is based in Portland, as part of a strategy to station | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
helicopters at regular intervals around the coastline. The | :13:01. | :13:09. | |
delegation was led by South Dorset Conservative MP Richard Drax. | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
The part that struck him most was the issue of statistical evidence | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
that we have to show the number of incidents that occur off Paul and. | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
The search and rescue helicopter was involved in over 200 in 2011, | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
so what we have achieved is to get this issue, an important issue, to | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
the very top of government. She is 160 feet tall, a century old, | :13:33. | :13:41. | |
and was making a rare trip to Southampton today. This is the | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
Norwegian Tall Ship Statsraad Lehmkul. Every year, she takes part | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
in the Tall Ships Races organised by Gosport-based charity Sail | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
Training International. It is trying to encourage more young | :13:49. | :13:56. | |
people to experience sailing. Rachael Canter reports. | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
Setting sail in this tall ship is enough to make anyone feel like | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
royalty. But fortunately you do not have to be. Anybody can do this, | :14:05. | :14:12. | |
this is not a rich boy it -- rich boys' and girls' game, it is for | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
anybody. It gives people an opportunity to discover things | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
inside themselves, learn how to work as part of a team and develop | :14:20. | :14:28. | |
self-confidence, and to find out career really, what they have got. | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
15-25-year-olds can apply for bursaries to take part in the tall | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
Ships races this summer. Being in a part -- a group of racing ships is | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
an amazing experience. Being on a ship you know has a good chance of | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
winning the race is another good thing. You are safe, she is big, | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
fast, so you sailed you are always in a good situation. Last year, | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
7,000 young people entered. Many had never sailed before. When you | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
are at sea and just see blue around you everywhere, it is a weird | :15:01. | :15:11. | |
:15:11. | :15:13. | ||
freedom feeling. I feel at home. The tall Ships races, brilliant for | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
the youngsters. Steven Speilberg's new blockbuster | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
film War Horse has been grabbing the headlines this week. It tells | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
the fictional story of Joey, a horse that went to war in 1914. | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
There has been huge interest in the film, which gives a fresh insight | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
into the role of horses in the conflict. Over a million horses | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
went to war, and just a few survived. Tonight we have the story | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
of the bay thoroughbred from the Isle of Wight who survived the | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
battles at the Somme and Passchendaele and returned home a | :15:40. | :15:50. | |
:15:50. | :16:00. | ||
It was here, on the Isle of Wight, that Jack and his force formed a | :16:00. | :16:08. | |
partnership that was to last 33 years. -- Jack and his horse. Both | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
the horse and the rider survived the horrors and slaughter of the | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
First World War. By the timepiece came, the bay thoroughbred called | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
Warrior had earned his place in history. The soldiers called him | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
simply the horse the Germans could not kill. On a cold, grey morning | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
on the Western Front in 1918, Warrior and General Jack were | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
immortalised in this painting by one of the country's finest artists. | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
The survival of Warrior and his rider permits the carnage of the | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
Western Front was indeed a miracle. Around one million horses were sent | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
to the western front by the British, only one in 10 came home. How big | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
would Warrior have been? He was a little bit smaller than this. | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
Jack's grandson is a writer, broadcaster and former jockey. | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
would say he is one of the bravest horses that ever lived, and | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
certainly the luckiest. I counted 11 different occasions when he | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
should have been killed. He has all the published a book that Jaque | :17:16. | :17:24. | |
wrote about his famous horse. A soldier, Cabinet minister and | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
friend of Winston Churchill, Jack was also a member of the lifeboat | :17:28. | :17:36. | |
crew on the Isle of Wight, where his family had a large estate. | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
life boat was launched by the family of General Sealey... He has | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
been with the cruiser over 30 years and received a peerage in the | :17:44. | :17:50. | |
King's birthday honours. Warrior was born on the Isle of Wight in | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
1908, and Jack first rode him here near the village of Brook a few | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
years later. The pleasant days they spend here were in stark contrast | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
to what was to come. Horses had a terrible time, a terrible time. | :18:06. | :18:14. | |
This is four years, non-stop shelling, things like that. Tens of | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
thousands of people a day were killed, and ditto the horses. | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
Warrior was at some of the biggest and deadliest battles of the | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
conflict, including the Somme and Passchendaele. The with Jack in the | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
saddle, he took part in a crucial cavalry charge that checked the | :18:34. | :18:44. | |
:18:44. | :18:44. | ||
German advance. He was a general, and he led the troupe. That is | :18:45. | :18:53. | |
meant to be in the firm, but he went with Warrior. After the war, | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
he returned home with Warrior to the Isle of Wight, where they | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
enjoyed many years together, including visits from royalty. | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
had those adventures together and then survived, and then lived a | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
happy life in the post war period and grow old together, so I think | :19:11. | :19:20. | |
they knew each other from cradle to grave. The end for Warrior came in | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
1941 when food shortages and the Second World War led to the horse | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
being put down just a few weeks short of his 37th birthday. There | :19:28. | :19:35. | |
had been mutterings about the amount of corn he was eating. Jack | :19:35. | :19:42. | |
died in 1937 -- 1967. Warrior will forever be remembered as the Isle | :19:42. | :19:51. | |
of Wight's real War Horse. An extraordinary tale, isn't it? | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
Tomorrow we will tell you about the grey charger that returned to | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
become a Southampton piece Hall -- police force, also called a warrior. | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
Talking about epic stories, Chris is here with one in the sport. | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
Brian Thompson, what a man? He woke up this morning to the | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
Eiffel Tower in Paris after completing his record-breaking | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
round-the-world voyage, and two and was later he was looking at me! | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
From duty to the Beast, some would say. I would put you above the | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
Eiffel Tower! It has been a great few days for | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
record-breaking a round-the-world yachtsman Brian Thomson, who | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
arrived back home today. Despite his achievements, he was taking it | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
all in his stride. The sun-kissed serenity of | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
Southampton, a world away from the scenes that greeted Brian Thompson | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
in France. Their trophy for it was not only the fastest | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
circumnavigation of the globe, but made Brian the first British sailor | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
to go around the world four time. It has not sunk in yet. People have | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
been saying how big a story it has been, how many people have followed | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
it, but you do not realise when you are on the boat. Brian was the only | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
British member of the mainly French crews. He knocked an impressive | :21:11. | :21:21. | |
three days off the record, thanks in part to his experts steering. | :21:21. | :21:28. | |
could always hit something, a man- made object, a natural object, and | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
hitting anything at that speed could mean the record is over. | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
After 45 days at sea, a hearty meal issue will be the top of the to-do | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
list? I had a nectarine, that was unbelievable. Some fresh bread with | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
just butter, that was the best meal I have ever had. Approaching his | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
50th birthday, he could be forgiven for winding down but is now aiming | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
for the solo race in November. have got a boat lined up, a team | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
lined up, I just need to get the company, the brand, the sponsor | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
that wants to come in and support me for that and try to win that | :22:07. | :22:14. | |
race, or at least get on the podium. The first tilt for Brian would be a | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
trip into the unknown. With views like this, who could blame him? | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
A great achievement. But I would have chosen a Sunday roast over a | :22:23. | :22:31. | |
nectarine! London Irish's Delon Armitage was | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
today left out of England's squad for the forthcoming Six Nations | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
competition. Instead, the full-back was named in the second-string | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
England Saxons party. Armitage was omitted from new England coach | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
Stuart Lancaster's first squad, but there was a place for his London | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
Irish team-mate Alex Corbissiero at prop, while Jonathan Joseph joins | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
Armitage in the Saxons. England begin their Six Nations campaign in | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
Scotland on February 4th. Southampton's potential signing of | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
the Japanese international striker Tadanari Lee moved closer today, | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
after the player was granted a work permit on appeal. Saints officials | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
attended FA headquarters in London today, and were successful in | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
overturning the original decision not to hand Lee a permit. The J- | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
League star will now return to England to finalise his move to the | :23:03. | :23:10. | |
Championship leaders. Last night we told you of | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
Bournemouth's interest in signing Crawley's top scorer Matt Tubbs. | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
The Cherries had two bids rejected by the League Two side. And it | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
looks like the interest will end there. Cherries' chairman Eddie | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
Mitchell said today that they will not be going back to Crawley with a | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
third offer for Tubbs, who has scored 17 goals for the Sussex side. | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
Mitchell added that signing a striker does remain a priority for | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
Bournemouth. Sussex's cricketers got off to a | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
winning start in the Caribbean Twenty20 competition in Antigua. | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
The young Sharks side beat the Netherlands by 34 runs. | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
Wicketkeeper Ben Brown top-scored with 42 in the Sussex innings, as | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
they posted 125 for 9 from their 20 overs. In reply, the Dutch were | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
skittled for just 91. Left-armer Naved Arif was the pick of the | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
bowlers with 3 for 12. Next up for Sussex is a game against Jamaica | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
tomorrow. South African batsman Neil McKenzie | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
has signed a deal to return to Hampshire for the second half of | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
the 2012 season. He will arrive for the T20 in mid-June, and then stay | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
on to play in all competitions for the rest of the summer. The 36- | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
year-old has spent the last two full seasons at the Rose Bowl. Last | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
summer he was part of a county record partnership of 523 with | :24:11. | :24:21. | |
Michael Carberry. It will be a rebuilding year for | :24:21. | :24:31. | |
:24:31. | :24:35. | ||
Hampshire, this one. I don't know why they are not stop | :24:35. | :24:41. | |
playing it here. It will be 20 degrees higher. You could still | :24:41. | :24:49. | |
play cricket here. You just said you do not have your scarf out. | :24:49. | :24:55. | |
Have you got one of those jumpers? No, but they are popular because of | :24:55. | :25:05. | |

A dramatic roof top sunrise over Poundbury near Dorchester, captured | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
by Neil Crick. Jon Atkins captured cows grazing in | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
the sunshine at Ditching Beacon on the South Downs near Brighton. | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
And Linda and Stuart Welton took this picture of the sun lighting up | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
the cliffs at Lulworth Cove with Weymouth and Portland in the | :25:16. | :25:22. | |
distance. Very mild temperatures at the | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
moment and we hold on to mild conditions for some tonight but it | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
turns cooler by the end of the week. There will be some sunny spells, | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
though, but the nights will be frosty. Frost on the ground and air | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
frost as well. Breezy tonight, staying mainly dry, the outside | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
chance of some drizzle, but some clear spells initially and the | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
countryside may be -- may be in sheltered spots, we could have a | :25:46. | :25:56. | |
A relatively mild start to the day tomorrow, we hold on to the cloud | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
cover. It will be limited brightness here and there, the | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
weather front sinking southwards across the country, light rain and | :26:04. | :26:13. | |
drizzle a possibility. The winds will be fairly light. Once the | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
cloud sinks southwards, the skies will clear September just take a | :26:17. | :26:26. | |
plunge. -- so temperatures take a plunge. Mist and fog could be a | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
possibility first thing on Friday. It is an improving picture, sunny | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
conditions during the day on Friday thanks to high pressure. The air is | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
coming from the Arctic so it will be a chilly feel, but winds will be | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
like so in the sunshine it will feel fairly pleasant. A repeat | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
performance on Saturday, possibly more cloud than on Friday, but this | :26:47. | :26:54. | |
weather front stairs and they, even on Sunday. Slightly more cloud on | :26:54. | :27:01. | |
Sunday. But Saturday and Sunday start on a chilly note. A lot of | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
cloud tomorrow, some breaks in the cloud for the sunshine. It is the | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
weather front coming southwards, light rain and drizzle a | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
possibility. A cold, frosty start on Friday, temperatures will | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
struggle to rise, winds Fen in night, coming from the knot. Frosty | :27:17. | :27:24. | |
on Saturday and Sunday, but fairly settled -- coming from the north. | :27:24. | :27:30. |
