Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's | :00:03. | :00:06. | |
programme: Under construction, but she could | :00:06. | :00:08. | |
be mothballed? Spirits are high as work begins on | :00:08. | :00:18. | |
:00:18. | :00:18. | ||
the Navy's �3 billion aircraft carrier. Today is a fantastic part | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
of the journey. We have two years ahead on that programme. | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
Fighting back. The early-warning system designed to keep the pirates | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
of the high seas at bay. From front door to stage door, the | :00:30. | :00:38. | |
bouncer who is living his dream. Many people give up on their dreams | :00:38. | :00:45. | |
and do not do things. They do not even drive. -- try. | :00:45. | :00:55. | |
And diving's dream double act tell It's a �3 billion defence project, | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
but will it ever see service? Work began today in Portsmouth on the | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
second of the Royal Navy's new aircraft carriers, the Prince of | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
Wales. The two ships survived the government's defence review, but as | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
it stands, one of them will be mothballed as soon as it's ready. | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
Portsmouth's share of the work is helping to sustain up to 1500 jobs | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
in the city. But as work began today, BAE Systems reported a 7% | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
fall in profit and over recent weeks questions have been raised | :01:19. | :01:26. | |
over the future of the city's shipyard. Steve Humphrey is in | :01:26. | :01:35. | |
Portsmouth. There are some tough decisions ahead for BAE Systems. | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
Yes, if you have that sense of deja vu, it is worth remembering the | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
industry is prone to going through a cycle of peaks and troughs. There | :01:46. | :01:53. | |
has been a peak with the work on the carriers and Type 45 destroyers | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
and Corvettes for Oman. Now, what is next for Portsmouth when work on | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
the aircraft carriers is completed? There was a ceremony in the | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
shipyard to commemorate the start of work on HMS Prince of Wales. | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
These days, they use lasers to cut steel. Huge sections of the first | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
of the new carriers have already taken shape. When they appear, | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
there will be a national awakening. The work is providing job security | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
for 1500 workers in Portsmouth. But the question is what happens after | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
2014 when the contractors completed. BAE Systems has announced a review | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
of its UK shipbuilding facilities. No decisions have been made. We | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
will keep everyone informed. Will the shipyard be here in ten years' | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
time? Today is a fantastic part of the journey on the aircraft carrier. | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
We have two years ahead on that programme. With the uncertainty, | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
workers were nervous about speaking publicly. One manager said that | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
staff are concentrating on the job in hand. We look to the future for | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
workload but at the moment we are focused on this delivery. The team | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
is focused around the dates and the carrying on of the work that will | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
follow behind it. The first of the ships will enter service in 2016. | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
It will not be until at least 2020 that the UK again has a fully | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
operational aircraft carrier with fighter bombers on board. | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
The company says there is no decision about the Portsmouth yard. | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
What happens after 2014? A is their work for Portsmouth | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
after the carriers? That depends on when the Government orders the new | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
type 26 frigates. They are thought to want 13 in the long run. BAE | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
Systems would like a decision as soon as possible. But with the | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
constraint on government spending, it is likely to be several years | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
until a decision. Will one of the aircraft carriers | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
be mothballed? Yes, that was the position back | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
into 1010 at the time of the last defence review. Recently, ministers | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
indicated they will review the decision in a few years. There is a | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
possibility both of the new ships could be fully operational in a few | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
years. The next big check that the Government has to write his for the | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
fighter-bombers to go on board the new ships and then there will be | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
several years of training until the aircraft and aircraft carriers | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
become fully operational. The MP for Eastleigh, Chris Huhne, | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
and his ex-wife have appeared in court to face charges of perverting | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
the court of justice. Prosecutors claim the former Energy Secretary | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
persuaded ex-wife Vicky Pryce to take points for speeding that | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
should have been put on his driving licence in 2003. When he resigned, | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
Mr Huhne said he was innocent, but wanted to avoid distraction. They | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
have been released on bail. The case is expected to resume in March. | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
A former Cunard worker accused of sexually assaulting a child has | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
appeared at Swindon Magistrates' Court. Paul Trotter, who worked as | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
a supervisor in a children's activity area, is also charged with | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
possessing indecent images of children. The 34-year-old was | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
arrested while living in Salisbury. He was remanded in custody until | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
next month. There have been further concerns | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
expressed about the fitness of an RAF pilot who died in a plane crash | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
along with his passenger, a teenager from Reading. The plane | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
with Flight Lieutenant Mike Blee and 15-year-old Nicholas Langley- | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
Rice collided with a glider in Oxfordshire in 2009. An inquest has | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
been hearing evidence from another RAF pilot. Caroline Richardson is | :06:01. | :06:09. | |
with me. She has been following this. It centres on Flight | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
Lieutenant Mike Blee's spinal condition. | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
Yes, it meant that some of the bones in his back and neck had | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
fused. He was 62 and was a reservist. He came back as a | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
volunteer. Nicholas Langley-Rice was a cadet. They took off on an | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
air experience flight. It collided with the glider. The jury heard | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
from another pilot, Vladimir Antonov, who had taken Flight | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
Lieutenant Mike Blee on a refresher course and he said he was surprised | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
to see his hunched physique and he had concerns he might not be able | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
to perform effectively. This was not the first time his | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
fitness was questioned. The medical officer who cleared him | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
to be able to fly has been reported to the authorities for a drink | :06:59. | :07:08. | |
problem. A doctor also filled out the civil aviation form to say that | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
Flight Lieutenant Mike Blee did not have the spinal problem. When he | :07:11. | :07:19. | |
was asked if he ticked the box that said no, he said did I? That was on. | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
He described the spine as abnormal and in subsequent examinations | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
describes them as normal. When asked for an explanation he replied | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
he did not have one. It continues. A new anti-piracy centre has been | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
unveiled in Portsmouth today. Manned around the clock, they keep | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
a watchful eye over seafarers sailing through potentially | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
dangerous waters. The service costs clients thousands of pounds, but | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
staff say they would save shipping companies hundreds of thousands of | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
pounds by weaving them through the dangers and avoiding long | :07:46. | :07:56. | |
:07:56. | :07:58. | ||
diversions. The story of the Chandlers and | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
their captivity by pirates is one of the more high-profile examples, | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
but staff that this new centre in Portsmouth say there are currently | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
218 seafarers being held hostage in Somalia alone. Probable pirates | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
operating in this area... Manned by former Royal Navy personnel, they | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
look at after 80 vessels a day. They monitor the season send out | :08:27. | :08:35. | |
warnings. And we have a round-the- clock operation sell. Those people | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
are the brain of the operation. We are lucky because we have a team of | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
former naval specialists, used to dealing with that level of | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
information and distributing it to optimise operations. It is hard to | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
pinpoint where the pirates are. But staff make predictions on where the | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
trouble spots are likely to be. They take into account factors such | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
as weather, time of day, and how often pirates have been in an area. | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
The International Maritime Bureau saying 2011, there were 439 | :09:13. | :09:20. | |
incidents of piracy. After those, 812 people were taken hostage and | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
eight fatalities. There are different technologies to protect | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
vessels such as these high pressure water cannon. But this centre is | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
trying to prevent pirate encounters in the first place. It comes at a | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
price. It is estimated that the closure of | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
a section of the A34 yesterday could have cost the economy | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
millions of pounds. A lorry crash closed the section between the M4 | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
and Chilton interchange for more than seven hours and caused 17 | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
miles of queues. The road haulage association told the BBC such hold- | :09:55. | :10:05. | |
ups have a financial impact. Stay with us because to come this | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
evening, we are at Winchester Cathedral. | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
Join me later in the programme and I will shed light on the latest | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
fund-raising project at the cathedral. | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
A man and woman from Weymouth have pleaded guilty to smuggling heroin | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
into Guernsey. David Iain Shields was sentenced to eight years in | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
prison and Emma Louise Pring received a six-year sentence. The | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
pair were stopped and examined after arriving in Guernsey last | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
July. Condor Ferries is trying to contact | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
passengers who have bookings for this weekend. Safety concerns about | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
the port of Weymouth have forced the ferry company to switch | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
sailings to Poole. Passengers due to sail this weekend are being | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
asked to contact Condor Ferries or check the company's website for | :10:50. | :10:59. | |
changes to the schedule. The local councils say the work is running on | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
time. We had specialist divers down. We are working closely with Condor | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
Ferries. We expect... We have contractors we are talking to and | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
we expect to have made a decision as to what we want to do and get | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
the contractors on site by the end of next week. | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
Now for the latest in our series Living The Dream. Steven Murphy, | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
from Bournemouth, was a cage fighter and worked as a pub bouncer | :11:26. | :11:34. | |
through his twenties. But he had always wanted to be an actor. When | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
he reached 30, he decided to turn his life around. Roger Finn went to | :11:37. | :11:47. | |
:11:47. | :11:52. | ||
meet a man who wanted to swap the front door for the stage door. | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
When I left school I wanted to try out for drama college. Because I | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
was working full time, I was told I would not be able to vote -- devote | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
time to the course and so I thought my dreams were over. Then your life | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
took a different course. It did, like a lost decade. I had a lot of | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
experience, I joined the Army and had various careers. I worked as a | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
bouncer when I was 18. You got into dark areas of life at this time. | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
What about the fighting? The major thing for me was that it gave me | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
discipline to keep my life clean. Without the training, I do not know | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
whether darker side would have taken me. I was not sure where I | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
was heading. Drinking crept up on the Slovene. At first, you think it | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
is a friend -- it crept up on the slowly. It is a crazy experience. I | :12:51. | :12:58. | |
try to stop in 2002. I had that tattoo printed on my arm. It has | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
been an ongoing battle ever since and I expect it always will be. | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
Something must have happened. You have turned your life around. | :13:08. | :13:16. | |
I hit 30, I was married and forced to take a look at myself. I went | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
back to the drama course I had auditioned for. With Paul Murphy | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
and Winchester university I took a degree course -- Bournemouth | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
University. When I finish, I waited -- I thought I will not wait for | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
what other people say I can do, I will start writing myself. His play | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
is about two bouncers, one has experience and the other turns up | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
for his first day. If you think he is going to be trouble, keep him | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
out. It is a tribute to the director who was encouraging. It | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
was the best experience of my life. My character is very much somebody | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
who is thinking everybody else is responsible for his downfall. I | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
have been an idiot in my time but I have never intimidated anyone. | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
Really he is responsible for his own downfall. That is true in life. | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
The bad things that happen to me we usually down to me. The future is | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
looking good with an opportunity in New York. I won a scholarship for | :14:27. | :14:34. | |
screenwriting at the New York Film Academy. Had just have to save the | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
money to live there. I decided to perhaps by my own taxi to work and | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
earn the money. I want to try and then I can look back and be proud I | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
am trying. People give up on dreams. They talk about stuff but they | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
don't even try. I want to give it a go. Good luck to him. He has | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
changed his life. Stephen Murphy told us about his living the dream. | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
Are you? Have you changed your life and achieved something you thought | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
was not possible? Why not let us know? We can be telling your story. | :15:12. | :15:21. | |
You can see previous stories on the website. Let us know your story via | :15:21. | :15:31. | |

The Weymouth and Portland sailing village was officially handed over | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
to the London 2012 organising committee today. Millions of pounds | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
have been spent transforming the site, which will house the | :15:37. | :15:47. | |
competitors and team officials during the games this summer. | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
you have trained for four years for one event, the conditions you have | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
leading up to that are critical. A lot of thought has gone into this | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
village in Weymouth and also the village in London to ensure the | :15:59. | :16:09. | |
conditions are absolutely perfect. That should have been Keith Mills. | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
I just said to you to get in touch with stories about living the dream. | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
We like you to get in touch, you never know what happens. Our next | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
story as we go into sport is about that. It is great when people get | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
in touch. I received an e-mail this week. It led to a fascinating, | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
almost if first, in terms of acknowledgement that the League got | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
something wrong. We are talking about Portsmouth. | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
The Football League has accused Portsmouth's former chairman, | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
Vladimir Antonov, of misleading them when he took over the club in | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
2010. The frank comments came in a response to a fan, who wanted | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
answers as to why his club was facing administration for the | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
second time in three years. Paul Chalmers Stevens emailed the league | :16:56. | :17:02. | |
with a series of questions. In the exchange which was sent to us at | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
South Today, the league said information supplied by Antonov at | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
the time of his takeover had been "at best misleading and possibly | :17:08. | :17:09. | |
"at best misleading and possibly fraudulent, with the league not | :17:09. | :17:16. | |
being alone in accepting the evidence." It was a major departure | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
from the league's own media policy during the crisis at Fratton Park. | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
during the crisis at Fratton Park. during the crisis at Fratton Park. | :17:21. | :17:22. | |
It comes just days after the shadow sports minister voiced similar | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
concerns about the league's procedures when it comes to | :17:24. | :17:32. | |
takeovers. Earlier Paul told me what he made of it. | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
It was a stunning admission. It was not one I'm would receive, I | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
thought, I thought they would batted back until they had | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
exhausted me. There seems to be head-scratching when clubs go into | :17:48. | :17:55. | |
administration. I do not understand why. The system seems to be broken. | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
Vladimir Antonov was arrested last year and is on bail facing charges | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
of asset stripping at a Lithuanian bank. He denies the charges. The | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
BBC has tried to contact Antonov but was unable to reach him. | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
Meanwhile, Portsmouth's manager gave a stark insight into what life | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
is like when a club's bank account is frozen when he gave his press | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
conference today. Midfielder Liam Lawrence needs a scan on an injury. | :18:14. | :18:22. | |
This is what Michael Appleton said. Liam Lawrence cannot walk properly. | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
How bad is it? I would like to give you an exact answer but because we | :18:28. | :18:38. | |
:18:38. | :18:40. | ||
cannot afford to have the scam, we do not know the extent. -- X-ray. | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
Is that true? Our assets are frozen. Portsmouth are expected to go into | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
administration tomorrow at at hearing in London. We'll be at the | :18:49. | :18:57. | |
High Court for that. Tonight we are checking on the progress of two of | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
the best medal hopes in the Olympics for Great Britain. Tom | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
Daley and his partner, Peter Waterfield from Southampton, this | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
week they had a competition star training session. They have told us | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
about it. When you are a double act, timing | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
is everything. Tom Daley and Peter Waterfield has not been diving | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
regularly in the weeks leading up to this practice session, but the | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
favourites for the ten metres synchronisation event have impress | :19:30. | :19:40. | |
:19:40. | :19:41. | ||
their coaches. -- impressed. It is a partnership where we dive well | :19:41. | :19:48. | |
individually and when we are put together it seems to be in time. We | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
had a three-month break when we were working individually. When we | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
got back together, it was like we have not been away. It is good to | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
have that kind of partnership. Waterfield trays in Southampton and | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
Tom Daley is from Plymouth, and they will dive together and as | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
individuals if their selection is confirmed. They are at different | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
stages of their careers. The games are special. We do not go into | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
competitions to make up the numbers. We want to do as well as we can. | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
London will be special anyway, but if we can pick up a medal as well, | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
it will be great in the synchronisation. Tom Daley's media | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
profile has led to concern about his ability to be at his best in | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
London. Waterfield alongside him could prove crucial. Great images | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
there. Guildford Flames have a ten-point | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
lead at the top of ice hockey's Premier League. They beat | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
Basingstoke Bison 3-0 last night. A full house at the Spectrum Arena | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
saw the Flames goal tender Mark Lee make 41 saves, to gain his sixth | :20:53. | :21:00. | |
clean sheet of the season. Sussex Cricket Club have posted their | :21:00. | :21:07. | |
accounts with income up by 7%. Overall, the county lost �124,000. | :21:07. | :21:14. | |
They spent �8 million redeveloping the County Ground. Always get in | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
touch. If you want to tell me anything. | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
Anything? OK! A group of celebrities is getting | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
together to shine a light on Winchester Cathedral. The | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
Chronicles of Light has been designed to tell the story of the | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
city's cathedral. Visitors will be able to experience the event this | :21:31. | :21:40. | |
autumn, but work has begun today to bring the story to life. Things are | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
happening behind you in the cathedral. | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
They are indeed. As if Winchester Cathedral is not grand enough, look | :21:48. | :21:56. | |
at this. This is a taster of the light and sound experience bringing | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
Cathedral history to life. Images of treasures of the cathedral will | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
be beamed across the pillars. There will be recordings of tales of | :22:06. | :22:12. | |
people of its past. The scheme is to help raise money for a new sound | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
and lighting system. Organisers had to think big. And they brought in | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
big names to help them raise the money. | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
Winchester Cathedral, standing proud and reminding us of our | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
history and heritage. Dating back more than 1,000 years, it has tales | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
to tell. Soon we will be able to hear the stories courtesy of | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
familiar faces and voices. Bernard Griffin's and Wendy Craig are two | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
of the performers creating characters of the cathedral's past. | :22:48. | :22:54. | |
Bernard is known from children's television. Wendy start in numerous | :22:54. | :23:01. | |
situation comedies. In the Chronicles Of Light, Bernard plays | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
a fishermen of the 1600s. He came up with a lot of good ideas, some | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
of which are in use I am sure, especially about the study to be | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
quiet. There were noisy fishermen about. That is what you go out for, | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
to be quiet in the countryside and get away from your jaw and catch | :23:23. | :23:33. | |
:23:33. | :23:34. | ||
fish. -- from your job. So many great people from history are | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
involved in the cathedral. Their faith grew and it glowed in this | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
magnificent place. They will be joined by a host of celebrities | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
including Dame Judi Dench. They will be part of the next chapter of | :23:49. | :23:55. | |
the cathedral's history. People have been around this Christian | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
site for 1400 years and the building has been around for | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
roughly 1,000 years. There is an enormous quantity of history and | :24:03. | :24:10. | |
stories to be told. Winchester Cathedral have pulled | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
out all of the stops to bring history to life. If you want to | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
share the experience, performances take place between the 12th and | :24:20. | :24:27. | |
28th October, so a little while to wait. It is set to be a sensation | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
on your senses. Thank you. It looks wonderful. And | :24:32. | :24:38. | |
it is just starting today, work has begun. If you want to know more, | :24:38. | :24:44. | |

Briefly, before it turns milder next week. Tonight, staying very | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
mild. Above the seasonal average for temperatures. There will be | :25:40. | :25:47. | |

higher than tonight. The winds will be light, but they pick up speed on | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
Saturday. That is because of the cold front coming in. The rain will | :26:26. | :26:34. | |
rattle through. Brisk winds. And then high pressure will build from | :26:34. | :26:41. | |
Sunday. A frosty start on Sunday, but a decent day. Police skies will | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
stop but it will be a cold day -- blue-sky is. Monday starts on a | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
bright note and then rain. Another weather front arriving. It will | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
linger for the rest of the day on Tuesday. It will be a wet week next | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
week, but staying miles over the next few days. A cloudy day | :27:04. | :27:12. | |
tomorrow. On Saturday, we start on a bright note and a dry one. | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
