:00:08. > :00:13.Hello, I'm Sally Taylor, welcome to South today. In the programme: In
:00:13. > :00:17.court - the man accused of harassment and arson against his
:00:17. > :00:23.ex-partner and her family. Marooned in Portland Harbour, the
:00:23. > :00:28.stranded foreign crew of a cargo ship stuck for months over a legal
:00:28. > :00:33.dispute. 2012, a special number for the man paralysed and who now hopes
:00:33. > :00:39.to inspire others. I lost my self- belief, my self-worth and self-
:00:39. > :00:42.esteem overnight. It took me a long time to get that back. And the new
:00:42. > :00:48.generation joining the dots and dashes on the story of the man who
:00:48. > :00:58.gave his life to save others. saved lots of people because he
:00:58. > :01:01.
:01:01. > :01:04.sent Secretary of State and CQD messages. -- SOS and CQD messages.
:01:04. > :01:09.He harassed his former girlfriend and targeted her family, setting
:01:09. > :01:12.fire to their home and tracking them on holiday. Those were the
:01:12. > :01:17.claims made about Al Amin Dhalla during his trial for a range of
:01:17. > :01:20.offences. Alison Hewitt broke off their relationship in Brighton.
:01:20. > :01:26.It's allege head put her under surveillance and was detained by
:01:26. > :01:32.armed police at the hospital in Sussex where she worked.
:01:32. > :01:40.Al Amin Dhalla is alleged to have waged a campaign of harassment on
:01:40. > :01:45.his ex-partner and her family. It escalated to plans of arson and
:01:45. > :01:51.guns. He moved in with his girlfriend but she ended the
:01:51. > :01:55.relationship. There were alleged to be anonymous letters to her
:01:55. > :02:02.employers and to her family. It's understood he repeatedly returned
:02:02. > :02:10.to her flat. He was arrested for harassment and bailed. It's alleged
:02:10. > :02:12.that Al Amin Dhalla tracked Alison's mother and her father at
:02:12. > :02:17.this holiday. On the route towards Lundy say the prosecution, he was
:02:17. > :02:22.spotted firing the weapons in a field. He was charged and bailed
:02:22. > :02:25.while free it's alleged he then set fire to the Hewitt family home in
:02:25. > :02:30.Buckinghamshire. The court has heard the police airlifted alson's
:02:30. > :02:33.mother and step father off Lundy for their own safety -- Alison. The
:02:33. > :02:36.couple, Pamela Hewitt and David Gray, gave evidence today. David
:02:36. > :02:40.Gray told the jury there was a banging on the door of their
:02:40. > :02:44.cottage at 5am. They were told there had been an incident. A
:02:44. > :02:49.helicopter landed in the field and armed police officers got off. They
:02:49. > :02:52.searched the perimeter. The couple were then flown from Lundy the
:02:52. > :02:56.mainland and were then transferred to a safe house.
:02:56. > :03:00.At this time, Alison Hewitt was due to work at this hospital in
:03:00. > :03:06.Hayward's heath. The prosecution say the department was spotted on
:03:06. > :03:11.the premises masquerading as a doock for and was arrested by armed
:03:11. > :03:15.officers, a loaded crossbow and knife were found in his car --
:03:15. > :03:21.doctor. Al Amin Dhalla face ten charges, including harassment,
:03:21. > :03:23.arson and the possession of an offensive weapon. He denies the
:03:23. > :03:27.charges. A seafaring charity says it's
:03:27. > :03:31.concerned for the welfare of the crew of a cargo ship that's been
:03:31. > :03:35.stranded for three months in Portland Port. The vessel got into
:03:35. > :03:38.difficulties during a storm and it was then arrested after claims that
:03:38. > :03:42.the anchor damaged mussel beds in the harbour. The crew has been
:03:42. > :03:52.stuck there ever since, caught up in a legal dispute and still
:03:52. > :03:56.
:03:56. > :04:02.waiting for wages to be paid. It arrived to take on fuel. In strong
:04:02. > :04:08.winds, it's dragged its anchor and ran aground across the harbour,
:04:08. > :04:12.damaging a shellfish farm. The ship was arrested. It cannot leave. The
:04:12. > :04:22.Captain went long ago but five Turkish and Georgian crew remain on
:04:22. > :04:24.
:04:24. > :04:31.board. We met them in a cafe. They haven't been paid since last summer.
:04:31. > :04:35.Every month I used to get $1,000. But now nothing. Maybe when they go
:04:35. > :04:39.into Turkey, maybe I'm arrested by the bank.
:04:39. > :04:44.A court official known as the Admirality Marshall has arrested
:04:44. > :04:54.the ship, but not the crew. They could leave. They believe that
:04:54. > :04:59.would lose them any chance of getting their wages.
:04:59. > :05:02.I lost the pay in June. You have had no pay since June? That's right.
:05:02. > :05:05.The port chaplain took these pictures because we are not allowed
:05:05. > :05:10.on board. There is absolutely nothing for the five crew to do,
:05:10. > :05:13.apart from watching television. Life's pretty miserable for the
:05:13. > :05:17.crew because they have nothing to do all day. All they are really
:05:17. > :05:20.doing is waiting for their wages to be paid so they can go home. They
:05:20. > :05:24.are really having financial difficulttys themselves, but more
:05:24. > :05:29.particularly their families back home in Turkey and Georgia.
:05:29. > :05:34.We tried to contact the ship's Captain in Germany without success.
:05:34. > :05:40.Normally, the owner would pay a security to allow the ship to
:05:40. > :05:50.depart. That has not happened. The ship remains under arrest. The five
:05:50. > :05:50.
:05:50. > :05:54.crew just want to go home. But unpaid, they feel unable to leave.
:05:54. > :05:59.It's been confirmed a man killed as he tried to cross a stretch of the
:05:59. > :06:05.A27 in Chichester had been a client of the St Joseph's homeless hostel.
:06:05. > :06:09.The incident happened on hunt stone Road last Friday. He's the third
:06:09. > :06:14.homeless person to die trying to cross the road to get to the hostel
:06:14. > :06:17.in the last two months. Last month, the hostel started giving out high
:06:17. > :06:22.visibility jackets as part of a safety campaign. A jury's heard
:06:22. > :06:25.claims that a highly trained police patrol officer involved in chasing
:06:25. > :06:30.a stolen van through Portsmouth made the pursuit personal and in
:06:30. > :06:33.doing so put innocent people at risk. PJ skpwraims Holden was
:06:33. > :06:39.accused of dangerous driving following a review of the incident
:06:39. > :06:43.by senior colleagues within the Hampshire force -- James Holden. He
:06:43. > :06:46.denies the charge. Are mind us what happened on the day in question,
:06:46. > :06:52.Alan? A lot of people will be very familiar with where I Sam.
:06:52. > :06:55.Portsmouth is a few miles down that way and I am here at Cosham railway
:06:55. > :06:59.station, you can see the level crossing barrier. This was the
:06:59. > :07:03.point back in February where a fairly dramatic police chase ended
:07:03. > :07:07.in a fairly dramatic way. A stolen car had been followed by a police
:07:07. > :07:11.patrol vehicle all the way in the bottom end of Portsmouth to the
:07:11. > :07:14.barrier here. The barrier was down at the time, but the stolen car
:07:14. > :07:18.didn't stop. It drove straight on through shattering this barrier.
:07:18. > :07:22.Fortunately, a train wasn't coming at that moment. The car was stopped
:07:22. > :07:25.a little way beyond here by other police officers, but this is where
:07:25. > :07:29.the chase ended. It wasn't the driver of the stolen car who's
:07:29. > :07:33.ended up in court today, it was the driver of the police patrol car
:07:33. > :07:38.which was following him. Why was the prosecution brought?
:07:38. > :07:41.Well, PC James Holden, from Fratton, has been charged with dangerous
:07:42. > :07:46.driving. All police pursuits are reviewed after the event by senior
:07:46. > :07:51.officers and they've judged he made a number of very serious errors and
:07:51. > :07:54.those errors put lives and property at risk. His car was fitted with an
:07:54. > :07:58.advanced video recording system and the jury today at Guildford Crown
:07:58. > :08:03.Court were shown footage of the police pursuit. They saw the stolen
:08:03. > :08:06.car being driven at speed through a number of red lights. The wrong way
:08:06. > :08:10.down a section of dual carriageway as well to the point where it ended
:08:10. > :08:13.up here. PC Holden's training should have made him realise this
:08:13. > :08:15.pursuit was becoming far too dangerous and he should have
:08:15. > :08:18.stopped it. Thank you very much.
:08:18. > :08:22.A court has heard how Harry Redknapp did not tell his
:08:22. > :08:30.accountant or bank about an offshore account for years. He's
:08:30. > :08:36.accused of receiving secret payments from the former Portsmouth
:08:36. > :08:40.chairman Mr Mandaric. At the heart of this case, it's the Monaco
:08:40. > :08:44.account named Rosie 47 after Harry Redknapp's dog and the year of his
:08:44. > :08:48.birth. The debate in court today was about why the money had been
:08:48. > :08:51.paid into it. Mandaric said in an interview to reporters with the
:08:51. > :08:54.News of the World that it hadn't been anything to do with football,
:08:55. > :08:58.it hadn't been a bonus, but then Redknapp saying to the same
:08:58. > :09:02.reporter from the News of the World that the money was a bonus for the
:09:02. > :09:06.profit made on the transfer of Peter Crouch. He said to the
:09:06. > :09:11.reporter that, I was due 10%, they paid me 569, I said to Milan
:09:11. > :09:16.Mandaric, you owe me 10% and not 5 and Milan said to me, I'll sort it
:09:16. > :09:19.out. We also heard discussion about the fact that, according to the
:09:19. > :09:22.prosecution, Harry Redknapp hadn't told his accountant about the
:09:22. > :09:26.existence of the Monaco account for about four-and-a-half years, only
:09:26. > :09:29.did it come to light after the Premier League's quest inquiry
:09:29. > :09:32.asked the direct question to Redknapp, do you have an offshore
:09:32. > :09:36.account and at that stage he said yes he did. But he told police in
:09:36. > :09:39.interview that the reason he hadn't told anyone before about the
:09:39. > :09:44.account was that he hadn't realised there was any money left in it.
:09:44. > :09:47.Both men deny the charges. Plans to build a waste incinerator
:09:48. > :09:50.near junction 13 of the M4 in Berkshire have drawn objections
:09:50. > :09:55.from the Highways Agency. The company Grundon says it could
:09:55. > :09:59.provide energy for 50,000 homes if it's allowed to build the plant on
:09:59. > :10:03.a former quarry at Cheveley. There are plans about using the existing
:10:03. > :10:10.motorway Servisair ya to get to the site. There's a public meeting
:10:10. > :10:17.tonight. Still to come: The sinking of the Titanic 100 years on and the
:10:17. > :10:22.memorial to the man who gave his life to save others.
:10:22. > :10:27.A man from aldr shot is calling for a memorial to be biflt in the town
:10:28. > :10:37.remembering the victims of an IRA bombing. -- Aldershot is calling
:10:38. > :10:39.
:10:39. > :10:45.for a memorial to be built in the town the plaque that was built for
:10:45. > :10:48.it is on MoD land and people can't visit it.
:10:48. > :10:51.These people weren't protesting, they weren't throwing bricks, they
:10:51. > :10:56.were going about their normal business and they were murdered in
:10:56. > :10:59.the most horrific way. We need to have an appropriate memorial for
:10:59. > :11:04.the relatives over the last few years, they've not been able to
:11:04. > :11:07.access it to pay their respects and that needs to change quickly.
:11:07. > :11:11.all know how important it is to be with family for the major
:11:11. > :11:16.milestones. One man from Southampton's keen to be at his
:11:16. > :11:20.grandfather's side for his 95th birthday. There's one sticking
:11:20. > :11:24.point, Mike Murray needs kidney dialysis teletimes a week and the
:11:24. > :11:32.NHS won't pay for the treatment in his grandfather's native South
:11:32. > :11:36.Africa -- three times a week. This report on what could affect up to
:11:36. > :11:41.20,000 patients a year. Mike's grandfather means the world to him.
:11:41. > :11:47.He's been a rock basically. My parents both died early on, my dad
:11:47. > :11:50.when I was 12, my mum when I was 25, my grandad's all been there.
:11:50. > :11:54.September, his grandfather will turn 95. Mike is desperate to
:11:54. > :12:01.travel to Cape Town to be with him. But, as a cudny patient, the cost
:12:01. > :12:03.of his dialysis could stop him from travelling. Basically, it costs
:12:03. > :12:11.�1,380, that's just the dialysis, then you've got to consider the
:12:11. > :12:18.cost of a flight, accommodation, if that's required and it does put -
:12:18. > :12:27.make it impossible. It's believed it costs the NHS just under �500 to
:12:27. > :12:31.provide dialysis. If patients travel abroad, they don't have to
:12:31. > :12:35.pay if they have a reciprocal health agreement. It doesn't cover
:12:35. > :12:42.countries like the US and South Africa. The Hampshire Isle of Wight
:12:42. > :12:52.and Portsmouth PCT in a statement said it was tied to guidance issued
:12:52. > :12:58.
:12:58. > :13:04.Whilst we were filming, Mike received some welcome news. We are
:13:04. > :13:07.able to make a minimum grant of �1,000 towards the cost of your
:13:07. > :13:10.flight. That's fantastic. Towards my flight. That's good news.
:13:10. > :13:15.Excellent. Mike is fortunate. Many others may
:13:15. > :13:23.not be so lucky in sourcing funds. Thank you very much, you've made an
:13:23. > :13:26.old man very happy. With me no the studio is Rosemary Macri from the
:13:26. > :13:29.British Kidney Patient Association based in Alton in Hampshire. Thanks
:13:29. > :13:33.for coming in. Do you see a lot of people similar to Mike who are
:13:33. > :13:37.needing this kind of a help? Yes. We get a lot of requests for help
:13:37. > :13:43.actually. Lots of people who want to visit family, sometimes it's
:13:43. > :13:46.more problem at if I can than others depending where they want to
:13:46. > :13:51.visit -- problematic. Africa, Egypt and places like that, it's a
:13:51. > :13:54.problem. We are getting a lot of requests for help. I suppose many
:13:54. > :13:57.people might not realise how dialysis impacts on people's lives?
:13:57. > :14:01.It makes a huge difference because if you think that you are going to
:14:01. > :14:04.need to be on it typically three times a week, four hours at a time
:14:04. > :14:09.at the hospital, it's going to make a great deal of difference. So when
:14:09. > :14:12.it comes to, for example, a holiday, whereas you and I can just go and
:14:12. > :14:15.book a holiday and we don't need to think too much more about it, if
:14:15. > :14:18.you are on dialysis, you have got to take that into account as well.
:14:18. > :14:23.You can't do anything until you have booked the dialysis. Mike's
:14:23. > :14:32.problem was going to a country where there isn't a resip rickal
:14:32. > :14:38.agreement with the NHS here -- reciprocal. There is another
:14:38. > :14:41.problem with lack of capacity on the whole throughout the UK. But we
:14:41. > :14:48.have put some money into funding dialysis swap schemes which is
:14:48. > :14:52.rather a good idea, we think, where there's a database which identifies
:14:52. > :14:56.vacant slots at kidney units up and down the country so that if people
:14:56. > :14:59.want to go to that area, perhaps they are going for family reasons,
:14:59. > :15:03.maybe a wedding or the birth of a grand child, it could be anything,
:15:03. > :15:06.they can make contact and see whether or not there's dialysis
:15:06. > :15:10.available. So we are hoping that will make a lot of difference.
:15:10. > :15:13.Rosemary thank you for being with us tonight and explaining about
:15:13. > :15:16.your charity. The Government has announced a
:15:16. > :15:21.delay to its plans to reform higher education today as the university's
:15:21. > :15:26.minister paid a visit to Reading. Talk of splits in the coalition and
:15:26. > :15:33.opposition to high tuition fees dogged David Willets visit, as our
:15:33. > :15:35.Political Editor explains. In the glass houses of Reading
:15:35. > :15:40.university, they're using biotechnology to produce more food
:15:40. > :15:43.for the developing world. The university's minister, Hampshire MP
:15:43. > :15:46.David Willets, was here to announce new money. This is going to be the
:15:46. > :15:50.next green revolution. But it was talk of a U-turn in Government
:15:50. > :15:54.policy that was attracting questions. Many more universities
:15:54. > :16:02.than the Government wanted are planning to charge the top �9,000 a
:16:02. > :16:05.year in tuition fees. So Mr Willets has delayed a new Higher Education
:16:05. > :16:08.Bill but denies it's because of pressure from his Lib Dem partners
:16:08. > :16:11.It's a clear commitment across the coalition to implementing these
:16:11. > :16:14.reforms because they are in the interests of students, our
:16:14. > :16:19.universities and rebalancing the economy so that we get the groth
:16:19. > :16:22.for the future. Also controversial has been plans to bring in private
:16:22. > :16:27.competition for universities. They are being encouraged to stick to
:16:28. > :16:32.real world research. This is testing how ivy helps insulate
:16:32. > :16:33.buildings, an experiment part fund bid the Royal horticultural society,
:16:33. > :16:39.especially relevant with climate change.
:16:39. > :16:41.It's this sort of thing which is attracting the money. I think this
:16:41. > :16:45.announcement demonstrates that universities like Reading is able
:16:45. > :16:50.to keep up with what's happening and shows that its work is applied
:16:50. > :16:57.and making a difference to the real world. That's what's most exciting.
:16:57. > :17:01.Mr Willets probably wishes it wasn't quite so exciting.
:17:01. > :17:07.How about this - a former serviceman who was told he was
:17:07. > :17:11.unlikely to walk again has started a tough challenge today. Phil from
:17:11. > :17:15.West Sussex suffered severe spinal damage four years ago, but has
:17:15. > :17:19.slowly learned to walk again. Rather than let the injury hold him
:17:19. > :17:24.bag back, he's climbed mountains and has been parachuting. Now he's
:17:24. > :17:31.set off on a mission to walk 2012 miles by the end of 2012. Daniel
:17:31. > :17:36.was there to see hum off. Phil and his supporters smiled
:17:36. > :17:40.through the drizzle as they started to walk. Phil uses a stick as his
:17:40. > :17:43.injuries haven't healed. He's dog this to raise money for a centre in
:17:43. > :17:47.West Sussex that will help children who have to overcome challenges in
:17:47. > :17:52.life. Something Phil had to do when he was told he was paralysed.
:17:52. > :17:58.I lost my self-belief, my self- worth and self-esteem overnight and
:17:58. > :18:02.it took me a long time to get that back. I got it back through being
:18:02. > :18:08.inspired by other people because people believed in me. When Phil
:18:08. > :18:11.learned to walk again, he started challenging himself. He climbed a
:18:11. > :18:15.vertical rock formation in California and completed the London
:18:15. > :18:22.Marathon on crutches. Over the next 300 days, famous faces will be
:18:22. > :18:28.joining him on his different walks. Phil was a huge inspiration to
:18:28. > :18:32.everybody so it's fantastic that at the end of the challenge that this
:18:32. > :18:37.centre of excellence can be achieved. His aim is to raise a lot
:18:37. > :18:44.of money this year. He's going to walk 2012 miles which is a long way,
:18:44. > :18:50.but for a man who has the issues he has, I hold him in such high regard.
:18:50. > :18:58.Students at Chichester college are planning where he goes. Tomorrow
:18:58. > :19:01.I'm walking in Bournemouth with the RNLI, Thursday, Brighton and Hove
:19:01. > :19:07.Albion, Portsmouth, Southampton. I'm walking with young people.
:19:07. > :19:12.Anyone's welcome to join in. Good luck Phil, hope it goes well
:19:12. > :19:16.for you. On to sport now. Tony is here. Last night we were talking
:19:16. > :19:20.about the Madejski, Reading, the Russians and a bit of a change
:19:20. > :19:25.going on there and more today? Things moving quickly. We heard
:19:25. > :19:29.from Sir John in detail last night, today we get something from Thames
:19:29. > :19:33.Sports Investment, the people buying the controlling share of the
:19:33. > :19:36.club and Anton Zingarevicth. Thames Sport Investment revealing today
:19:36. > :19:39.they'll pay �25 million to buy the controlling stake in Reading. They
:19:39. > :19:43.want to turn the club into an established Premier League side
:19:43. > :19:48.with long-term aspirations to increase the capacity of the
:19:48. > :19:52.Madejski stadium to 38,000. The club introduced Swiss-based

:22:31. > :22:37.the Titanic sank, he remained at his post sending out distress
:22:37. > :22:44.signals asking for help. The story of Jack Phillips has made him a
:22:44. > :22:49.local legend in his home town of Godalming. Now work to restory the
:22:49. > :22:55.Phillips Memorial Cloister is nearing completion.
:22:55. > :22:59.SOS... 100 years since the Titanic sank, but for some, this is a new
:22:59. > :23:03.story. These school children in Godalming were getting to grips
:23:03. > :23:09.with Morse code and learning about a local hero who used it, John
:23:09. > :23:15.George Phillips, known as Jack. was an operator, he saved lots of
:23:15. > :23:25.people because he sent SOS and CQD messages. He kept on working when
:23:25. > :23:29.the ship was sinking. People were found and people were picked up and
:23:30. > :23:34.then they survived. Shortly before the sinking, the Captain released
:23:34. > :23:39.Jack Phillips from his duties, but he chose to remain at his post.
:23:39. > :23:45.you should remember is that at 2.17am, Jack's last message was
:23:45. > :23:50.cuts off -- cut off. At that moment, the Titanic broke in two, all the
:23:50. > :24:00.lights went out and that's when Jack virtually lost his life. Still
:24:00. > :24:04.sending out SOS messages. He was born in Godalming and trained to be
:24:04. > :24:10.a telegraphist. The Titanic sank four days after his 25th birthday.
:24:10. > :24:16.After the Titanic sank, there was a rallying round to raise �700 to
:24:16. > :24:21.build in memorial, now 98 years later, �150,000 is being spent to
:24:21. > :24:25.restore it. It's the largest memorial to any one person who died
:24:25. > :24:29.on the Titanic. A year ago, vandals caused thousands of pounds worth of
:24:29. > :24:35.damage. Now it's being repaired thanks to lottery funding. Probably
:24:35. > :24:41.because of his bravery, many lives were saved. So we are very proud of
:24:41. > :24:46.this local hero, as we can call him. A memorial service will be held
:24:46. > :24:49.here to mark the centenary on April 15th. It will be a place for future
:24:49. > :24:57.generations to remember Jack Phillips who gave his life saving
:24:57. > :25:03.others. Children love that story, don't they, they seem to know so
:25:03. > :25:08.much about it too! We'll have a lot more on the Titanic as we approach
:25:08. > :25:11.and mark the centenary which is in early April with a series of
:25:11. > :25:15.special features coming up for you to enjoy. We had a great response
:25:15. > :25:18.to our appeal for your Titanic stories. Thank you so much for all
:25:18. > :25:23.of those and those stories will be a central part of our coverage.
:25:23. > :25:27.Make sure you are with us here on South today. On to the weather now.
:25:27. > :25:32.South today. On to the weather now. Sarah is here. Wet today?! Pretty
:25:32. > :25:35.miserable. Grey and gloomy and we have got some more grey and gloomy
:25:35. > :25:40.conditions to come through tonight as well. We have got a murky start
:25:40. > :25:43.as well. Some mist and fog around in some spots through the evening
:25:43. > :25:46.and indeed through tonight. Gradually, as the night goes on,
:25:46. > :25:50.that mist and fog lifting away into the early hours.
:25:50. > :25:54.So generally quite a cloudy night. A few breaks in the cloud, but
:25:54. > :25:58.there'll be some more dampness. A bit of patchy rain and or drizzle
:25:59. > :26:04.throughout much of the region. Our overnight temperatures dipping down
:26:04. > :26:07.to 8 or 9. Now, think back to last night and what a difference that
:26:07. > :26:10.makes. Minus four last night at Benson, very cold across much of
:26:10. > :26:13.the region. Tonight, we are looking at eights and nines across-the-
:26:13. > :26:17.board, so a much milder night to come. Tomorrow, we start with quite
:26:17. > :26:21.a grey picture and again, yes, there will be a few spots of
:26:21. > :26:24.drizzle just blustering on through on the south-westerly breeze,
:26:24. > :26:27.picking up a little into the afternoon period. So becoming a
:26:27. > :26:31.little windier through the afternoon. But milder with
:26:31. > :26:36.temperatures of 10, maybe up to 11 in some spots.
:26:36. > :26:39.As we take a look ahead to tomorrow, we have another band of rain set to
:26:39. > :26:42.sweep on in from the west. All of us seeing some wet conditions for
:26:42. > :26:46.an hour or two through the overnight period. As that clears to
:26:46. > :26:50.the east, by the early hours, we'll start to see some fresher
:26:50. > :26:53.conditions. Tomorrow's temperatures, four or five degrees in some spots.
:26:53. > :26:57.Thursday then, we start with that rain just clearing off to the east,
:26:57. > :27:02.then those cooler conditions and one or two showers starting to
:27:02. > :27:07.arrive, possibly even containing a bit of sleet or hail in some spots.
:27:07. > :27:10.You can see the cold front clearing. This second week a cold front
:27:10. > :27:13.pringing with it the showers. We have high pressure building here to
:27:13. > :27:17.the south-west and that will bring us some settled conditions to end
:27:17. > :27:21.the week on. So, although it will feel fresher, we'll start to lose
:27:21. > :27:24.the showers through Friday. Then we'll have some more brightness on
:27:24. > :27:28.the way. Friday itself shaping up to be a crisp and sunny day in the
:27:28. > :27:32.most part with a frost on the way, as well into Saturday morning.
:27:32. > :27:36.Thank you very much. We are all itching to know, you
