Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's | :00:05. | :00:08. | |
programme: She preyed on the vulnerable, the | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
legal executive who abused her position of trust and stole | :00:10. | :00:17. | |
hundreds of thousands of pounds from clients. | :00:17. | :00:27. | |
:00:27. | :00:27. | ||
Royal recognition for those medics saving lives in Afghanistan. | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
guess you wonder if, day if he will be good enough, if you'll panic. | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
On your bike the postie awaiting delivery on his claim for unfair | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
dismissal. And beware the foreign predator | :00:37. | :00:47. | |
:00:47. | :00:56. | ||
that can cause an itchy rash and The she stole the life savings from | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
a 19-year-old woman, and hundreds of thousands of pounds from her | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
other clients. Leanne Harris, a legal executive working for a | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
solicitors' firm in Hove was sentenced to four years and nine | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
months in prison. Her crimes even contributed to the closure of the | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
long extended family business. We are live outside Hove Crown Court. | :01:18. | :01:26. | |
Clearly this was a crime which had issued personal impact. | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
She was said to have caused untold misery for her victims and those | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
who lost their jobs. She was also said to be full of remorse, but the | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
judge said she must be punished for a severe breach of trust. | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
Leanne Harris arrived at court knowing she faced prison. She had | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
previously pleaded guilty to five counts of fraud and one of theft, | :01:48. | :01:55. | |
totalling almost �500,000. She earns �20,000 a year running the | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
world and probate department at a solicitor's firm in Hove, but over | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
18 months she stole money from the state of five people and she stole | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
64 bus and pounds from a woman in her eighties. The court heard her | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
criminality contributed to the firm's closure with the loss of 30 | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
jobs. She still out of sheer desperation due to a combination of | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
greed, personal financial problems and a constant pressure to placate | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
her husband. The judge told her, I accept your remorse is genuine but | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
you have done huge damage to those who trusted you. He said it wanted | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
a severe sentence of four years and nine months. Some of those lost | :02:38. | :02:48. | |
:02:48. | :02:49. | ||
their jobs when Serco -- when Arscotts clapped record. Absolute | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
shock, she didn't seem to be that kind of person. What do you think | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
about the fact she did this to the estates of deceased people? That is | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
the worst thing, just awful. caused great upset to the families, | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
and used it in 19 old lady of all her life savings, leaving her with | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
that money to pay for her care -- 90-year-old. The police said the | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
severe sentence should send a sharp warning to others. | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
Joining me in the studio is David Burke, a solicitor at the firm | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
Paris Smith. Plentiful coming in. It is hard to believe with so- | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
called safeguards in place this sort of thing could happen. Yes. It | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
can happen. There are a number of safeguards which prevent the sort | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
of thing from happening. I am not sure of the exact circumstances of | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
this particular case but solicitors deal with huge amounts of money on | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
a day-to-day basis as part of their normal legal work, buying and | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
selling houses, dealing with the administration of people's estate. | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
We have access to huge amounts of money which sit on clients' | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
accounts and we have a lot of safeguards in place to prevent that | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
from being taken. She had power of attorney for a | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
number of people. Is that unusual or usual for a legal executive to | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
have? Unusual, very unusual. Normally reputable firms would | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
insure only part of, if anybody, act as attorney's or trustees for | :04:23. | :04:30. | |
Clyde and hold their money's in that way. For -- for clients. If | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
she was under power of attorney, personally, if somebody asks me to | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
beat their attorney as a client, I normally say it is better that a | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
member of the family his attorney. There must be people at home | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
thinking my solicitor has got power of attorney, should I be worried, | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
what would be your advice, given this is a clear warning for people | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
to know what they're doing? People should be alert to it and | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
worried. Most large reputable firms of solicitors, there is little risk. | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
You don't see this sort of thing happening very often. You don't see | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
it every day, every six months. Solicitors have a number of | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
safeguards in place to prevent it happening. We have checks and | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
balances whereby nothing can leave client account without the | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
authority of a partner and the accounts department and everything | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
is checked. Something went very wrong here, | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
didn't it? That is not usual. Thank you for coming in. | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
A male nurse from Southampton who went missing during a malaria drugs | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
trial was detained under the Mental Health Act for sexually assaulting | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
a waitress. In 2010 Matthew Lloyd failed to attend a medical | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
appointment sparking fears he had contracted the disease. He was | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
found in the Netherlands. So thank -- at Southampton Crown Court he | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
was found guilty of sexual and common assault against the 20-year- | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
old woman. He was suffering from schizophrenia. | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
They put their lives on the line to save others, today they received | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
royal recognition. Royal Navy personnel who provided medical care | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
during operations in Afghanistan last year have been presented with | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
medals by the Duchess of Cornwall at a ceremony in Portsmouth. During | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
their six-month deployment they helped deal with 3,600 casualties | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
at the British field hospital. Navy medics went out on 10,000 patrols | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
with soldiers. Amount the Navy team was a reservist, who saved the life | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
of a soldier shot by a sniper. Steve Humphrey was at today's | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
ceremony. These medics use their life-saving | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
skills on the front line in Afghanistan and in a field hospital. | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
Today 200 Navy medical personnel along with colleagues from the RAF | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
and Army, were presented with a campaign medals by Camilla, Duchess | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
of Cornwall. Among Stem was Michelle Ping, a naval reservist. | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
In civilian life she is a medic, and she saved the life of a soldier | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
shot by a sniper. You wonder if on that date you will be good enough, | :07:06. | :07:14. | |
if you will panic, but he has a past everybody's expectations, I | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
didn't think he was going to live in the first place so the fact he | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
survived and is doing really well, it is a testament to his strength, | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
really. And your skills. Well, yes. I guess. As well as treating | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
casualties on the front line the Navy's doctors, nurses and surgeons | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
were based at the field hospital at Camp Bastion, the main British base. | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
No doubt in my mind there are people walking alive today who are | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
alive because of the medical support they got in Afghanistan. | :07:42. | :07:49. | |
For me it was the highlight of my career. Where have you come from? | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
the Duchess of Cornwall also met the Navy medic's families who have | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
had to cope with their loved ones have been away for six months. | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
Looking after relatives back at home has become increasingly | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
important, and in Aldershot they have opened a new centre to help | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
the families of soldiers in Afghanistan. For the children to be | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
able to come and express themselves and if they feel sad and lonely we | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
have got the use of computers, they can contact dad, and being in Dad's | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
workplace they feel close to her. Back in Portsmouth the Navy medics | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
have been enjoying their royal recognition. Many say their time in | :08:28. | :08:37. | |
Afghanistan was the biggest Brave men and women who are quite | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
rightly honoured today. Some disappointing news on the jobs | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
front as hundreds of posts are to be axed in Hampshire. Serco which | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
provides seven -- prison escort services employs 35,000 people | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
throughout the UK. In a move to have all management structure the | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
company plans to cut 500 jobs. The majority of which are likely to be | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
axed from the headquarters based in Hook. | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
This is a huge blow for those workers in Hampshire, isn't it? | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
The company are calling this streamlining, but they can hardly | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
disguise the fact this is an awful lot of jobs going in one hit. | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
Around 500 is what we have been told, and the vast majority of | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
those jobs are to go at the corporate headquarters which is in | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
a Hook near Basingstoke. They operate three separate of these | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
buildings, which a cluster together on a business park. -- for three | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
separate office buildings. They say the head can fluctuate but they | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
said several thousand work there at any one time. -- the head count | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
fluctuates. The news was announced to staff earlier this month but | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
they have just now made it public. They have declined our request for | :09:50. | :10:00. | |
:10:00. | :10:14. | ||
an interview that have issued a This might come as a surprise to | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
some people, because the job cuts are being made despite Serco | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
winning a big contract recently. A lot of people will be familiar | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
with the logo because it appears on the side of prison delivery vans. | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
It is issued international company which other businesses and | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
organisations hire to provide all sorts of services like transport | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
and training. This new deal announced this week is �130 million | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
contract with the MoD to provide training and operational support. | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
You could argue the company are burying bad news by announcing this | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
at the same time, but it is worth remembering unemployment in this | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
part of the world is lower than elsewhere in the country, currently | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
running at 6.4% so heavily those people losing their jobs will be | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
able to find one fairly seen because they live here. | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
-- fairly soon. Plans for a redevelopment of the Royal Sussex | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
County Hospital have been unanimously approved by Brighton | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
and Hove Council. The trust wants to replace some old buildings with | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
a new 12 storey block and wants to create a major trauma centre for | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
Sussex. It estimates it would treat 360 seriously injured patients each | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
year who would otherwise be sent to London hospitals. | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
It predates Florence Nightingale, so it is about time. If you have | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
had a loved one or been a patient in hospital you would know why this | :11:37. | :11:45. | |
is so necessary. Still to come: kicking up a storm. | :11:45. | :11:55. | |
The Serie netball team bidding to A Dorset postman claims he was | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
forced out of his job when he was ordered to abandon his bicycle and | :11:59. | :12:05. | |
deliver post by trolley instead. William blight told an employment | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
tribunal in Southampton he felt Biddy -- bullied and intimidated. | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
The Royal Mail said they had gone out of the way to resolve the | :12:12. | :12:21. | |
William Blight was a familiar face in Corfe Castle, delivering by bike | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
in a narrow and steep cobbled street. Changes introduced | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
nationally by Royal Mail as part of efficiency savings has meant | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
trollies were being introduced, designed to make it easier to carry | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
parcels and it was a response to the increase in packages and | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
decrease in letters. He was told he would have to give up his bike for | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
a trolley. But he said the Mail vans had manual Trans mission and | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
he had a licence for only automatic vehicles and as for a trolley, he | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
said that the streets were too narrow and that could be dangerous. | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
There were other grievances. 21 in total, including the state of | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
repairs for his bike, which he said was not safe. He was signed off | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
sick with work-related stress for 11 months and resigned, claiming | :13:09. | :13:17. | |
constructive dismissal. At today's tribunal, his old manager was asked | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
about him. He said he did not Ginty was a bit of a nuisance. He said he | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
tried to deal with all of his concerns fairly. In 2006, he cycled | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
five miles for charity. It was an effort that got him a Royal Mail of | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
water. But he will have to wait to hear if he has won his case against | :13:38. | :13:46. | |
them. The result will be announced Eight wreath was laid in | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
Basingstoke to mark Holocaust Memorial Day. The gathering at the | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
memorial was one of a number of events taking place in the South. | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
As well as remembering Nazi concentration camp victims, it | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
encourages people to reflect on recent genocide, including the | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
genocide in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur. Anybody that the | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
Nazi regime did not like, they sent them to concentration camps and | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
they shot them. I feel it is my way of trying to remember the poor | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
people affected. I feel very grateful to people that come along. | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
They are not just Jewish people that come along. Gentiles as well. | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
I did it is marvellous for us all to come and remembered. -- I think. | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
The MP for Hove and Portsmouth has told Southern Railway more must be | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
done to help passengers when they have got delays and cancellations. | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
He said he is being contacted by angry commuters fed up with delays | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
at mainline stations. He has asked for more information and has said | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
safe areas should be available for people to wait while rail services | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
returned to normal. Oil explorers have told the BBC they could be | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
drilling in Dorset by 2014. Wessex Exploration could be on the verge | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
of a major oil discovery. They had bought the rights to a company but | :15:11. | :15:18. | |
is now investing in material to locate oil offshore in the South. | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
They are long, hairy and can give you a nasty reaction. Unwelcome | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
visitors can be found in Berkshire and there is concern that they can | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
be an actual health risk. They are called oak processionary moths and | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
had been found nesting in trees in Pangbourne. They are not that big | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
as caterpillars but they damage trees and they have toxic spines | :15:41. | :15:50. | |
which can trigger an allergic Pangbourne's location in the North | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
Wessex Downs has earned it environmental protection. But that | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
is not a defence against the latest threat. This corner Berkshire had | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
been the landing pad for alien invaders, now across the | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
countryside. A mature oak tree was imported into the village in 2008. | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
In 2010, it was discovered that it was infected. It was infected with | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
oak processionary moths. Forestry Commission said six trees | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
had been infected with moths brought in from the imported a good. | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
By the bombing year, that number had quadrupled, to 26. -- by the | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
following year. Extensive woodland has been affected one kilometre | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
away from the original source of the infection. It is not just eggs | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
that are affected. They have not got any sign of caterpillars here | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
but as spring comes, experts say should people should be watching | :16:46. | :16:55. | |
out for them. -- people should be. Do not touch them it you find them. | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
Otherwise, they will fly around and you will end up getting them in | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
your eyes and it will give you a severe itching reaction. It is best | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
left to experts. Leave them alone. Already out of control in London, | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
politicians have been meeting ministers to try and ensure that it | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
does not happen in Berkshire. want to eradicate this as quickly | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
as possible and not allow them to spread because they have got a | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
bridge that it a spread, it will get worse and worse. As we have | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
seen in London, massive problems arise in woodland. For now, they | :17:29. | :17:37. | |
hope that this is one battle against invaders that can be won. | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
The oak processionary moths and caterpillars. Watch out for them. | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
Sport and I am looking forward to the netball peace. That is not | :17:46. | :17:54. | |
front or back. That is the goal defence. OK! I am hoping to learn | :17:54. | :18:00. | |
more about netball! Chris knows all about that. FA Cup this weekend and | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
I know about that. Brighton and Hove Albion have got a massive game | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
tomorrow and have already had big occasions this season and they have | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
got one tomorrow, against Premier League opposition and the omens | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
look good for an upset. The stadium has already been an unhappy hunting | :18:17. | :18:27. | |
:18:27. | :18:29. | ||
ground for Premier League teams The Albion had victory against | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
Sunderland in the Carling Cup. Tomorrow, it is Newcastle's turn to | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
visit but the manager is playing down expectations against one of | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
the Premier League's most improved teams this year. We have got | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
excitement with the players and with the situation that both teams | :18:45. | :18:55. | |
:18:55. | :18:55. | ||
have got at it will be a great game. Takes advantage! 29 years back, | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
Albion made it to Wembley. On be journey, they knocked out the | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
second-division Newcastle on a third round replay at. One player | :19:04. | :19:10. | |
in the Albion camp is very keen to get one over the Magpies tomorrow. | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
It will be a bit weird but at the same time, I have not scored a goal | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
against them this season and it will be great to score against them | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
this season. Brighton have settled well into their new home and | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
tomorrow is another chance to show how far they have come under the | :19:26. | :19:33. | |
leadership of this man. Good luck, Brighton. Good luck to Crawley Town | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
this season. Last season the competition took the team all the | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
way to Old Trafford and a narrow defeat against Manchester United. | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
They are underdogs against Hull City after beating Bristol City in | :19:45. | :19:52. | |
the third round. Somebody called me and said that we were the | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
bookmaker's favourites to beat Bristol City. I said the world is | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
going dark and then when we beat them, I thought, well how about | :20:00. | :20:08. | |
that? I have checked the odds and Crawley Town start as underdogs. | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
Southampton might have set their sights on promotion but they might | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
use the FA Cup against Millwall to look at Japanese signing, Tadanari | :20:15. | :20:21. | |
Lee. He arrived this week. appears to be very intelligent and | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
he has been training well and his skills are some of the best. His | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
scanning skills, his awareness and his head is always moving. Very | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
intelligent running. He has got a lot of things that we had picked up | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
on video, watching him. He can see the space is created when somebody | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
is moving. Reading could have a debut for both new signings against | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
Bristol City. Jason Roberts is in contention to play for a team that | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
was beaten by Hull on Saturday. Tomasz Cywka is in the team as well. | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
Portsmouth travel to Peterborough hoping to put off-field | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
distractions behind them. Aldershot have slipped to 19th in the table | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
and they could include a new signing, Stefan Payne for | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
tomorrow's match at AFC Wimbledon. Bournemouth are hoping to extend | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
their away run to 12 matches without defeat as they travel to | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
bottom-of-the-table Chesterfield. Full commentary on BBC Radio Solent. | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
Thousands of people have focused on London 2012 but the netball teams | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
have got other priorities. It is not an Olympic sport but the | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
domestic season is in full swing. Teams from the South are hot | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
favourites to win the first ever British League title for them. Here | :21:37. | :21:45. | |
The bookies rate them as the best club side in Britain and Surrey | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
Storm are out to prove them right. D Gilford franchise lost in the | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
Grand Final last year and they are determined to go one better this | :21:53. | :21:59. | |
time under the new player, coach. We want to put that pressure aside. | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
We have got the skills and we can win this competition but mentally | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
we have to get out there and do it every week. It will be tough but we | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
can do it. As well as coaching, she is also an integral part of the | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
team. It can be a difficult balance to strike but not in her case, it | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
appears. To be honest, not really. People have always been very | :22:23. | :22:31. | |
helpful, technically. She is 18 made and a coach. It is great. -- | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
team mate. Netball is an amateur sport. A mixture of local and | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
national talent make up the Surrey squad. An academy is already in | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
place. It is important these girls had a look at what we are all about | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
and that we are not a scary, senior team out of reach. We have got | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
signings which is great but we will bring on our own players. The home | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
game against Loughborough is sold out. Last week's win is already on | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
their record and it is bring up nicely for the title challenge will | :23:07. | :23:16. | |
Great Britain's rowers had been showing off their skills ahead of | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
the Olympic regatta at Dorney Lake. Among the people looking at how | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
Olympic rowers train, Sam Townsend is with the quadruple sculls team. | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
Tim Dellor had a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to perform in | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
the sport and we will have a special feature on next week's | :23:33. | :23:41. | |
programme. Look forward to that. A bit of a puzzle. I do not think you | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
have seen theirs. A man from Bournemouth has been let Mr fight | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
after seeing tiny blue balls in his garden. -- mystified. The jelly- | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
like substance which has not got an header came raining down from the | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
sky on Thursday. The Met Office says that they are not | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
meteorological. Research at Bournemouth universities says that | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
they might be eggs from crustaceans found in the EC. They could have | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
been transported from a bird that was caught in a storm. -- from the | :24:14. | :24:23. | |
That is extraordinary. Yes, it is. Maybe you know about that. Please | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
let us know it you have got ideas about that. Now the weather and it | :24:27. | :24:33. | |
will be a cold weekend. Any snow? Potentially in the West but we have | :24:33. | :24:42. | |
got a lot of uncertainty. Look at this picture. This was captured | :24:42. | :24:49. | |
above the Celtic cross. This was taken of lifeguards in the Poole | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
taken of lifeguards in the Poole braving the cold for a charity swim. | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
A lot of uncertainty but I will talk about that in just a second. | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
We have got a battle with warm and cold air. The cold air will | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
probably win had pushed the warm air out to the Atlantic. Once that | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
happens, we have got the potential for showers. Possibly snow on | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
Monday. Cloudy on Monday with a few showers tonight. We could have ice. | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
The Met Office are keeping a look at the situation. Dorset and | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
Wiltshire will be affected. Elsewhere, cloudy but that does not | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
mean that we will not have a few holes in the cloud cover. Fog | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
patches are possible in the usual areas. Temperatures plunging | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
towards freezing. These are the values in the towns and cities but | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
could be colder in the countryside. We might get some mist are. Very | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
quickly, cloud disbursing and sunshine coming through. Top | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
temperatures of just seven degrees. Really struggling because of the | :25:57. | :26:05. | |
northerly wind back grip. Wind will be light. Wrap up warm. -- nor the | :26:05. | :26:12. | |
wind. We might get some frost. Temperatures dropping towards | :26:12. | :26:18. | |
freezing him or towns and cities and could get below freezing. Cold | :26:18. | :26:25. | |
and frosty on Sunday morning. Sunday is quiet and dry. Mild air | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
pushing across from the Atlantic. Cloudy but some bright spells. We | :26:30. | :26:37. | |
are keeping a look at that. Western areas will be affected. Once this | :26:37. | :26:43. | |
comes here, we could get snow. Mainly affecting western areas and | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
the Isle of Wight. Tuesday his quiet, colder and temperatures | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
staying very cold next week and over the weekend. We have got one | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
more picture. Sally is getting to grips. I am guessing that is a | :26:59. | :27:05. | |
thumbs up! Yes, that was me last night. That is me and the telescope. | :27:05. | :27:12. | |
The problem is that it is very cold. Is that might hold? It is very cold. | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
With the hat and the gloves and everything. Somebody said, what | :27:17. | :27:23. | |
telescope have you got? I said, it is orange! Did you take the lens | :27:23. | :27:31. | |
cap of? Yes, I did. Everybody give -- gave me a lot of lovely advice | :27:31. | :27:35. |
