Hello, welcome to South Today. Where are the jobs and new | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
businesses? We look at the region's economy. | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
Fireworks could have started a hotel fire as tens of thousands of | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
pounds of business is lost. The clock that is ticking away | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
again after a complaint stopped time. I can't get over these people | :00:26. | :00:35. | |
that come in and say, "I don't like it so it must stop." we will be | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
meeting some of the people who will be taking part in the Olympic torch | :00:39. | :00:49. | |
:00:49. | :00:56. | ||
The South's economy could be showing signs of growth. Research | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
carried out shows a mixed picture. Business growth is surging in some | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
areas like Reading but in others such as Chichester, there is | :01:06. | :01:14. | |
continuing decline. The research carried out by | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
Experian gives as a snapshot of the health of the economy. Looking at | :01:18. | :01:25. | |
the number of new start-up minus insolvencies. Amongst the | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
performers are writing at which it saw a rise in business start-ups | :01:29. | :01:37. | |
since 2010. There is a rise in Basingstoke and at AB Dey in West | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
Sussex. In other areas, the business base has declined. Among | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
the areas affected were Chichester, Southampton, Portsmouth and the | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
Isle of Wight. This survey shows a rise in self-employment in parts of | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
the self, notably in Winchester, where the figure rose and in Havant. | :02:00. | :02:08. | |
Is supporting new businesses a sure fire way to kick-start the economy? | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
Cash grants to help a new breed of entrepreneurs. | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
As the South struggles to wriggle free from the grip of the economic | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
downturn, people like Aaron Blackburn holds the key to a | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
brighter future. He is a young entrepreneur who has set up a firm | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
selling parts to the double-glazing industry. After taking a degree, he | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
had seen how difficult it has become to get on a graduate | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
training scheme. They are so many people trying to get on them so to | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
save wasting time, I tried to think there's anything you can do for | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
yourself. Aaron is one of the entrepreneurs who will benefit from | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
a �500 grant and advice from Havant Borough Council. Last year, 60 | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
firms got the cash and this year, 80 will benefit. For every new | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
business that is established, within 12 months, that business is | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
employing at least one extra person. In a town like Havant which has | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
high unemployment, we need those jobs. Last night, people from | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
across the region debated the state of the economy at the UK | :03:18. | :03:24. | |

secured an apprenticeship said many of his friends are struggling to | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
find work but some employees complained of a shortage of skilled | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
workers. A yacht manufacturer says British industry needs to flag up | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
its high quality products. People come to us from overseas and see | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
what we do. Their jaws hit the floor when they see the quality we | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
are doing, be hand-finished. We don't shout about this anywhere. | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
Today the Prime Minister has been talking about the road, rail and | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
airport improvements needed to drive job creation and the head of | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
the Confederation of British Industry said stimulating growth | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
must be the Chancellor's number-one priority when he delivers his | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
Budget speech on Wednesday. Tonight on BBC 1, you can see that | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
special debate programme looking at how the region is faring and that | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
is at 11:05pm. It is also on the BBC iPlayer. | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
Detectives investigating the death of a man in Newbury had been | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
granted more time to question four men. The 38 year-old man died | :04:49. | :04:56. | |
OFSTED -- died of stab wounds on Queen's Road. They have been | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
further arrests over alleged assaults that took place that night. | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
Investigations are underway into how a fire started at a landmark | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
hotel on the Isle of Wight. Fireworks were being set off from | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
the roof of the nineteenth-century Ryde Castle during a wedding | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
reception. No one was hurt but investigations are focusing on the | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
use of fireworks during the celebration. | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
Coming up to view the aftermath, an iconic building that has stood here | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
since 1833. On Saturday night, when I fire destroyed the property, it's | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
ruined the wedding of a young couple. I conducted the wedding. I | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
was so shocked when I was looking at the pictures on Sunday morning | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
and so gutted for that couple to have their wedding and like that. I | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
felt so bad for them and shocked because it is such a popular venue. | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
Another 20 weddings were due to take place between now and August. | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
Isle of Wight council has helped one other couple there were due to | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
get married this Friday find somewhere else. Owners of a hotel | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
said: Are we were aware fireworks were set off during the wedding | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
function. It appears possible that fireworks were the cause but we | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
will have to wait for a full investigation to get the facts. | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
investigation is focusing on trying to determine the cause the secondly, | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
to look at the management and safety aspects of the use of | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
fireworks. We would like to see a tightening of the legislation | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
around using fireworks. The company who own the hotel say they will be | :06:36. | :06:44. | |
restoring the venue. From Pond Street in Papworth to | :06:44. | :06:48. | |

details that have been released on the journey the Olympic torch will | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
go. Starting in a touch on 9th July, over the next 11 days the torch | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
will pass through Berkshire, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Dorset, the | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
Isle of Wight, Sussex, Kent and Surrey. Leaving Guildford on 20th | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
July and reaching the Olympic stadium in London a week later. On | :07:19. | :07:27. | |
July 13th, the torch will be carried along shore road in Swanage. | :07:27. | :07:34. | |
Roger is there for us. At precisely 12:42pm, the Olympic | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
torch will make his way along the seafront here. The whole relay has | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
been organised with military precision. Today we heard the | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
details of the where and the when but we also heard about some of the | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
people, the extraordinary people who will be carrying the torch. | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
The winner is going to be Tom Muels. At 16, Tom has been a national | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
swimming champion. He also gives his free time to teach children to | :08:03. | :08:11. | |
swim so they were the choice to run the torch relay. But, he has a | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
problem. He tore a knee ligament in December. I will be off crutches | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
soon and I start running a month after. I am really looking forward | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
to it. The torch gets to Weymouth on 12th July and the town is going | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
to make the most of it. If here in the Sailing Academy, we will have a | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
spectacular corridor of young sailors from all over the UK | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
cheering the torch in. From the most ordinary roads around | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
Winchester to stop offs at the region's historic icon has, it | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
takes in them all. I couldn't think of a better welcome to Portsmouth. | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
It makes Paul Smith so special and that is the modern Royal Navy and | :09:01. | :09:08. | |
our maritime heritage. It will pass through this sheltered housing. | :09:08. | :09:17. | |
I feel privileged and proud to be able to take part in this adventure. | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
It is an amazing thing. It makes people feel more involved in it | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
than they would normally be. Organise us hope hundreds of people | :09:25. | :09:33. | |
were line the pavements two-tier on the Torch Bay that -- will line the | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
pavements to cheer on the torch bearers. It is a dream. I would | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
like to go on to represent Britain at the Paralympics, whether it be | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
see p football or athletics. The 14 year old has cerebral palsy. He is | :09:49. | :09:59. | |
:09:59. | :10:00. | ||
a keen football and plays in goal for AFC Bournemouth Ability Counts. | :10:00. | :10:07. | |
It is an honour that he has been able to carry the torch. Charity | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
fund raiser, Danny Ely is hoping for similar on 20th July. It is | :10:13. | :10:20. | |
going to be a great day. I have friends and family to support me. | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
Homes, businesses, schools, finding out for a few minutes in July, they | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
will be at the heart of the Olympics. | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
In Swanage, be really will spark off a week of festivities for young | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
people with possessions, musical events and sports events. Where it | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
goes, it will produce quite a spectacle. | :10:47. | :10:51. | |

launched a challenge against plans to replace some paid library staff | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
with volunteers. The County Council says the move could save 52 | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
libraries but the Surrey Libraries Action Movement says the council is | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
trying to get rid of its statutory responsibilities. | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
Surrey County Council is writing a new chapter for Bramley library. | :11:17. | :11:24. | |
It's as elsewhere in Britain, but it wants to keep all 52 of its | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
library is open. Bramley and nine others will no longer have salaried | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
staff. They will be run by volunteers. Villagers have mixed | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
feelings. If they want to volunteer, why not let them. One assumes that | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
they will enjoy doing it other Babel -- otherwise they wouldn't | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
volunteer. It seems a pity to lose professional people there. It is a | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
question of can may be maintained over the years? Today, campaigners | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
opposed to the plan arrived to have their case argued. If there is a | :11:59. | :12:05. | |
big difference between volunteering to help the paid staff whenever you | :12:05. | :12:12. | |
can and taking legal responsibility for running the service. We don't | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
think that is fair and right. court the campaigners barrister | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
said his legal challenge was not a political one centred on the | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
arguments about budget cutbacks all the big society. She said this was | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
about the council's decision making process and whether disabled people | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
could be disadvantaged by these changes, not least because | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
volunteers would not have the same level of trading as experience to | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
help them. The council says it has many volunteers ready to takeover. | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
We will provide all the stark, all the buildings, all the equipment | :12:47. | :12:56. | |
they need and the training. They will be, for this small area, a | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
very well supported library. hearing is expected to conclude | :13:00. | :13:09. | |
He lived in Salisbury for 20 years and after months of uncertainty, | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
the fate of the home of Edward Heath has been resolved. The | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
authorities had opposed the house being opened as a tourist | :13:17. | :13:24. | |
attraction, but as we report, it will reopen from next week. | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
They are training their tour guides for Sir Edward Heath's former home. | :13:28. | :13:35. | |
It is just as he left it. A bottle of single malt on the side. His | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
housekeeper provides the inside track on the life of a private man | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
who counted some amazing people amongst his friends, enjoyed music | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
and sailing on the Solent, and loved living in Salisbury. He had | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
an ability to compartmentalise his life, and he has done that yet. In | :13:52. | :14:00. | |
the front room, it is about sailing, the drawing room, the music. In the | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
dining Room, he hosted guests, from David Frost to the Archbishop of | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
Canterbury. All of this has been closed for four years as the trust | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
deed's of Sir Edward Heath tried to sell the house and then the | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
cathedral objected to the public opening of the house. Others argued | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
that tourists are the lifeblood of what is a busy place. It has half a | :14:24. | :14:33. | |
million visitors a year. Arundel attracts 20,000. What is important | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
during these tough times is that we help businesses and we help | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
businesses in the City by making sure that this gem remains open to | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
the public. The Chinese wallpaper and the staircase are evidence of | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
his links with the Far East. He struck up a friendship with drum | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
and mow whilst keeping souvenirs with quite different approach back | :14:55. | :15:03. | |
home. Aaron dealt will open from next week. -- Arundel. | :15:03. | :15:05. | |

100 years of history as a new Titanic art exhibition goes on | :15:08. | :15:18. | |
:15:18. | :15:24. | ||
A memorial was held today for a child who was said by a cricket | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
ball and died last month. The 16- year-old was a pupil at the local | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
school and his parents and a teacher called it a tragic accident. | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
The school will erect a memorial bench in his memory and dedicate a | :15:38. | :15:47. | |
football trophy to him. Up to 1,000 people in Winchester | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
have been sent council tax statements containing other | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
people's personal information. Winchester City Council says it's | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
investigating with its contractor, who prints and posts the bills, to | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
find out how the error happened. The Council is writing to affected | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
taxpayers to apologise and provide them with the correct information. | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
A man has died in a flat fire in Worthing. 30 fire-fighters were | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
needed to tackle the blaze at Gratwick Road. The alarm was raised | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
by a neighbour hearing the windows of the converted terraced house | :16:09. | :16:18. | |
blow out. It's not yet known how the fire started. | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
Farnham's Town Hall clock is ringing out over local roof tops | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
once more tonight. A week after it was silenced following a complaint | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
from a member of the public that the chimes were keeping them awake, | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
the owners of the building relented. They agreed to let the bells sound | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
out once more after the silent majority rose up in protest. Joe | :16:34. | :16:43. | |
Campbell reports from the Surrey For the majority of Farnham's Town- | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
folk, this is music to their ears. And when the owners of the Town | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
Hall decided to silence its clock after just one complaint from a new | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
arrival, well, people decided it was time their voices were heard. | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
Even with the chimes restored, many were today continuing to sign a | :16:58. | :17:05. | |
petition against the original decision. Somebody just comes into | :17:05. | :17:12. | |
the town and then says, OK, that has been going for 100 years. And I | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
don't like it. We are going to switch it off! Perhaps they ought | :17:16. | :17:22. | |
to live somewhere else. Without the sound of a bell. This bar's been | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
the campaign's headquarters for those wanting the bells back. | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
Ironically, its owners are themselves newcomers to Farnham | :17:26. | :17:36. | |
after living in Spain and Germany. In Spain, you are not allowed to | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
leave a burn on -- belts off, because it is part of the history. | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
So even if it is annoying, you cannot complain. So, today, the man | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
who first raised the alarm was back in business. Exactly a week after I | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
was told to Symons it, it has come back, because it is fantastic. -- I | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
was told to silence it. And the person who complained in the first | :18:05. | :18:15. | |
place... Well, from them today, it was a case of a deafening silence. | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
Well, the clock in Farnham may be working again, but some of you may | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
have noticed, Southampton's Civic Centre clock has come to a | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
standstill this week. Time will remain frozen until Thursday as | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
workers prepare the tower for visitors to celebrate the opening | :18:26. | :18:33. | |
of the Sea City museum next month. The union representing air traffic | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
controllers says it fears the Government is about to sell more of | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
its stake in the National Air Traffic Service. Much of the work | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
is carried out at Swanwick in Hampshire. The Prospect Union | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
believes the sale could be announced in this week's budget. At | :18:44. | :18:51. | |
the moment, the Government owns 49% of NATS. | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
The sinking of the Titanic has captured the imagination of | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
hundreds of artists across the south. As we approach the centenary | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
of the disaster next month, it's become the theme for this year's | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
annual open exhibition at Southampton City Art Gallery. And | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
it's proved the most popular ever, with more than 300 entries. Roisin | :19:05. | :19:15. | |
:19:15. | :19:20. | ||
One subject interpreted in hundreds of different ways. We have had more | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
entrants than before. Certainly, we have been bowled over by the | :19:25. | :19:32. | |
creativity. People have responded marvellously. From schoolchildren | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
to professional artists, judges have their work cut out determining | :19:36. | :19:46. | |
:19:46. | :19:48. | ||
Anybody looking closely will hopefully start to work it out and | :19:48. | :19:55. | |
will see in the smoke that is issuing from the finals that there | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
are other people that didn't make it across. The exhibition runs | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
until 29th of April and many of the works are for sale. Many, but not | :20:04. | :20:14. | |
:20:14. | :20:16. | ||
all. This is special to me and it is a gift to my wife. Stunning | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
artwork and well worth a look. No out, the sport. | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
As far as Southampton is concerned, it is getting repetitive but in a | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
nice way because they keep winning. Top of the Championship, and an | :20:30. | :20:38. | |
amazing Saturday afternoon. Here's how the table looked at | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
three o'clock on Saturday. But there were a few twists and turns | :20:41. | :20:48. | |
on the way. So let's roll the action and see how events occurred. | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
Southampton at Millwall, they going front. Things would change. There | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
was an own goal. Millwall go into the lead, a 2-1 lead. Southampton | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
were in trouble, particularly when Reading were put in front. The | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
Royals are going top-of-the-table at this point. What about this | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
second goal? A golf -- the goal of the weekend. Reading, cruising, | :21:17. | :21:24. | |
going top. Backed his of Rampton. Penalty Southampton. 2-2. And then, | :21:24. | :21:31. | |
what about this late drama? Handball. The saint's day top. That | :21:32. | :21:39. | |
meant that it was academic, but it was a 4-0 win for Reading, but they | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
stay second. Let's hear from the managers. Clean sheet, four goals, | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
improve the goal difference, and still plenty of games to play. | :21:46. | :21:54. | |
We have got to get back into it. We have changed at around during the | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
course of the game. The squad is wanting to do very well. | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
Brighton suffered their first defeat of 2012 in the League. They | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
were beaten 3-1 at Blackpool despite taking an early lead | :22:04. | :22:12. | |
through on loan Joe Mattock. Ian Evatt levelled before the break. | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
Brighton were defending their unbeaten record. Former Southampton | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
striker Kevin Phillips put the home side in front before half-time. The | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
game really changed when Jara Reyes was sent off. Albion down to 10 men. | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
Phillips wrapped up the win ten minutes from time. So this is how | :22:28. | :22:35. | |
it looks in the Championship. They Reading have won 16 of their last | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
20 games. It looks like two from three for automatic promotion. | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
Portsmouth's administrator is aiming to more than halve the | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
club's wage bill if they make it through to next season. Trevor | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
Birch says he inherited a bill of �13 million. That's high by | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
Championship standards. On the field, an ever depleted Pompey side | :22:54. | :23:01. | |
drew another blank. At Fratton Park, Portsmouth are | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
trying to balance being competitive with staying alive. A below | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
strength side, which could be weakened further by the end of the | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
week, couldn't break either their winless streak, or goal drought. | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
Relegation to League One beckons. But that's hardly the most pressing | :23:13. | :23:22. | |
concern. Everybody knows that if a substantial offer comes and it is | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
right for the players and club, then we might have to lose some | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
more. Portsmouth could well be playing Bournemouth next season. | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
Their own five game losing streak ended against Carlisle on Saturday. | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
The Cherries had been behind for much of the game. But loan Miles | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
Addison struck a late equaliser. In League Two, Crawley are back in | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
the promotion race, but only just. They came from a goal down against | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
Port vale to level through Sergio Torres. The visitors went back in | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
front after half-time. That set the scene for new signing Gary | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
Alexander to score twice in the last 20 minutes. First to equalise. | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
Then the all-important winner. With seven minutes to play, Crawley | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
aren't finished yet. Aldershot are certainly looking up, not down, | :24:04. | :24:12. | |
after a 1-0 win against Bradford thanks to Wilko Risser's goal. | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
Late Kick Off returns next week, but don't forget there are | :24:15. | :24:25. | |

highlights of all the games online right now. Congratulations | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
Guildford Flames have won this year's Premier League ice hockey | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
title. The Flames, including Branislav Kvetan, beat Basingstoke | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
4-3 in overtime this weekend to capture their fifth title. They'd | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
been beaten on Saturday night at Milton Keynes, meaning that the | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
team secured the two points they needed in front of their home fans | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
at the Spectrum in Guildford last night. The first trophy of the new | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
year. An exciting end to the season in | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
football. I unexciting summer ahead. | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
Now, the weather. It was gorgeous today. | :24:58. | :25:08. | |
:25:08. | :25:09. | ||
I take full credit. Spring is here. All our viewers | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
agree as well. A feeling of spring is in the air. | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
A rhododendron. This picture was taken in Southampton by Chris | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
Maybee. The frost on the trees contrasting with the very clear | :25:18. | :25:27. | |
blue sky. It is so frosty, it went black. This shot was taken in | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
Ablington on the Salisbury Plain by Jackie Dryden. And an early morning | :25:30. | :25:40. | |
:25:40. | :25:42. | ||
shot of Weymouth Bay Sent in by Very sunny during the day. We have | :25:42. | :25:49. | |
those clearing skies for much of this evening as well, at least for | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
the first part. The cloud encroaches fairly soon, though. The | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
cloud marches in from the North and West, meaning Western areas will be | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
milder and further East, temperatures closer to freezing. | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
But it is not as cold as last night. The coldest areas will be further | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
East in the region, but by the end of the night, temperatures | :26:13. | :26:20. | |
recovering. Minimum, two or 3. Tomorrow morning is a lot more | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
cloudy, but it will be slow to brighten up. It is not going to be | :26:26. | :26:32. | |
as beautifully bright as today. A South easterly breeze, quite | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
noticeable, and cloud along the M4 corridor. In the evening, a lot | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
more cloud building up. A misty start to Wednesday, temperatures | :26:42. | :26:49. | |
never wear them 5 or 6. Wednesday, plenty of sunshine, and dry. There | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
is not at any rain in the foreseeable future, I can promise | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
you that. Thursday is the one to watch out for. The High is pushing | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
North eastwards. Behind it, the cloud breaks up fairly nicely. | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
Thursday is tipped to be the warmest day this week. It could be | :27:11. | :27:18. | |
18 or 19, particularly towards the South East. So, it is dry and mild, | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
there will be sunshine, some cloud tomorrow and Wednesday, and there | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
is not at any rain through this week, not until the weekend, and | :27:27. | :27:33. |
