Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme. | :00:03. | :00:06. | |
A major trauma centre in Southampton to treat the most | :00:06. | :00:11. | |
seriously ill, but what will be the impact on other hospitals? | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
Anger and humiliation - disabled sailor Geoff Holt tells us how he | :00:14. | :00:23. | |
became a victim of discrimination. I just never in my life have been | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
so violated, I felt dehumanised as a human being. Remembering the | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
Falklands invasion and the huge task force that set sail from | :00:31. | :00:38. | |
Portsmouth. I hope it never happens again, but that we would still be | :00:38. | :00:45. | |
able to be that prepared. And find out later why I'm here in | :00:45. | :00:55. | |
:00:55. | :00:56. | ||
A new way of treating patients involved in the most serious, life | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
and death emergencies is being introduced across the South today. | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
Instead of being taken to their nearest hospital, patients will be | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
taken to major trauma centres instead. Here in the South, these | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
will be located at the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford, St | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
George's in London, Southampton General Hospital and the Royal | :01:11. | :01:20. | |
Trauma units at local hospitals, for example Poole General in Dorset, | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
or St Richard's Hospital in Chichester will treat less serious | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
injuries and stabilise some patients before they're transferred | :01:24. | :01:32. | |
Our Health Correspondent David Fenton is at Southampton General | :01:32. | :01:42. | |
:01:42. | :01:43. | ||
Hospital. Killyvalley. As a major trauma centre, this emergency | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
department is going to be seeing about 100,000 cases every year, but | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
it is also now going to be seeing the most serious, life-threatening | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
cases, from a road accident, from acts of violence, and also from | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
balls, across the south of England. The last time Ricky was here, he | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
was in a coma for four weeks. He had severed the main artery from | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
his brain in a motorbike crash. was a massive head injury, that was | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
the main injury, I had a few other injuries, but the main one was a | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
broken back in three places, compound fracture in my leg, broken | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
pelvis, nose, ruptured spleen. Apart from that, I was OK! But it | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
was no joke at the time. Ricky survived because he was seen | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
quickly by a team of brain injury specialists. The important thing is | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
patient get to a centre that can provide all the care that they need, | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
as fast as possible to stop historically, patient have gone to | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
their local hospital, where there injury to exceed the capabilities | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
of those hospitals. The hospital has to recognise that and then | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
resuscitate the patient and then moved into a centre like | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
Southampton. From today, most cases of life and death injury in the | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
south will come here, and it is hoped, more will survive. Basically, | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
what has been shown his Desire time critical decisions, so we need our | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
radiological colleagues to do the scans, all in one place at one time. | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
All those time critical interventions can be made for the | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
patient's benefit. They would double the number of resuscitation | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
bed can take on more nurses, a consultant and surgeons, and their | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
aim will be more patient flown in by air ambulance, which is paid for | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
by charity. At it is good and bad about it means the government | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
cannot top sliced the funding, but it is the ultimate in patient | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
choice. If the patient doesn't want it, they will not fund it. But they | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
are always popular charities. new trauma centre is now up and | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
running. But it will take some patients away from other hospitals, | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
and not everyone is happy about that. Just talking about the air | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
ambulance, I understand it has landed there at Southampton while | :04:05. | :04:12. | |
we have been on air? It has, about five minutes ago, we saw the air | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
ambulance coming in, landing on the new helipad, which they have just | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
built as part of this major trauma centre, to get patients here | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
quickly. A patient, a 15-year-old man was brought in here after a | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
very strong road accident -- a 15- year-old man. I have to say, they | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
might have been complaints about this, particularly about its effect | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
on other hospitals, notably Queen Alexandra in Cosham, where they are | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
likely to treat fewer serious patients as a result. Those | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
complaints have come from politicians in the area, from all | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
of the main political parties, who have been making this point today. | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
I spoke to Councillor Peter Edgar today. People are now worried that | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
there is going to be a consultation on A&E in Southampton General, that | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
they will have to come at long distances, Chichester, Gosport, | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
Southsea, all the way to Southampton, when an ambulance | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
driver or paramedic makes a decision that they may have a head | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
injury, and people are very worried that this could lead to a run-down | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
of in -- of the super hospital. Despite those complaints, I think | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
the feeling here is that there will be longer journeys for patient, | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
there may be fewer patients for of hospitals, but the patients who do | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
come here have a much better chance of survival. | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
The disabled yachtsman Geoff Holt has been speaking of his anger and | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
humiliation after being prevented from boarding a train on the Isle | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
of Wight. Geoff, who's been in a wheelchair since a swimming | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
accident, says he was eventually allowed to board - but not before | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
being injured by the metal ramp used to help disabled travellers | :05:54. | :06:01. | |
onto the train. South West Trains and British Transport Police have | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
both launched investigations. Bob Everett reports. | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
Geoff Holt won the respect of people across the country by | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
sailing single-handed around Britain, despite his disability. He | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
followed that by sailing across the Atlantic and becoming a disability | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
sports ambassador. Ocean's haven't stopped him, but he says at the | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
behaviour of a guard on board the train which runs along Ryde Pier | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
almost did. He said, not on the train, I said I had a right to, he | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
very begrudgingly got the ramp at, which is only a small device anyway, | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
and threw it out the train door. It bounced off the platform, hit my | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
leg, I can't feed it, because I am disabled, but that makes it even | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
worse, some times. Because you are paralysed Klyuka to be a little | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
stock British Transport Police are investigating. The train operator | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
issued a statement, saying they were horrified by the events he | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
described a man made clear that electric wheelchairs are welcome. | :07:07. | :07:17. | |
:07:17. | :07:26. | ||
The final insult was when he said, quite loudly, that I was going to | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
delay the train and everybody on it. When I got to the other end. I | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
never in my life have been so violated, I felt dehumanised as a | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
human being. There were docks on the train, filthy dogs, that had | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
been on a walk, and they were allowed on, but I wasn't, because | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
of who I am, because I do so in journalism, because I write for | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
magazines, I have made a career for myself, I'm prepared to speak out. | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
I am not prepared to accept discrimination at any level against | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
any body. Tributes have been paid to the | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
runner who died after collapsing at the finishing line of the Reading | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
half marathon yesterday. Ged Clarke was 39 and a keen athlete who'd | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
been running a Twitter campaign to get people exercising. Joe Campbell | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
reports. It began like so many previous | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
races - half sporting event, half party. But this half marathon was | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
to end in tragedy for runner. Ged Clarke. The father of two worked | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
for a civil engineering firm in Reading, but away from the office | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
was a keen runner an also coached teenage son Jake's football team. | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
While the hot weather took it out of some competitors, though who | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
knew Ged through his running never doubted his ability to take on the | :08:40. | :08:48. | |
21km course round the town. He had been training for the half marathon, | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
and he had also been training for the triathlon, which he was doing | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
as part of Sport Relief just a week or so ago. He had put in all the | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
right training. It is just an absolute tragedy that a man so | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
young, so fit, he was nervous about doing the run, not because he | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
wasn't -- was afraid, but because he wanted to finish the race and | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
get back home. The 39-year-old's death was felt far beyond those | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
taking part. His wife Estelle and children were taking consolation | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
today from messages on twitter which he'd used to promote the idea | :09:19. | :09:27. | |
of a midday run through his 12 o'clock club for desk bound workers. | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
Janine, before heading off herself this lunchtime, was planning to | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
hold a minutes silence in his memory. Everybody is in shock, they | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
cannot believe that this big- hearted man has gone so quickly. | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
One minute there, and ins, he has got. And among other midday runners, | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
a sadness that one who'd done so much to promote this sport here | :09:48. | :09:57. | |
would no longer be there to offer words of encouragement. | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
A robber who dressed as Elvis Presley and wore other disguises as | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
he held up bookmakers across the south, has been sent to prison for | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
life. 53-year-old Martin Reilly started his series of raids in | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
Sussex and was always armed with an imitation handgun or knife. Today | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
it emerged Reilly committed the offences while out on licence from | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
a previous life sentence following similar armed robberies in the | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
1990s. Sean Killick reports. This is how Martin Reilly looked | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
last October, but this was him in disguise, three months earlier, | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
when he tried to rob a bookmaker's in Hove. He looked up the lone male | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
member of staff, but fled empty- handed. Four days later, dressed | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
like Gulbis as he rubbed Ladbrokes in Brighton. -- like Elvis. The | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
next club, he adopted a different disguise as he rode at Ladbrokes in | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
working. Three weeks later, he left his face uncovered at Ladbrokes in | :10:47. | :10:54. | |
Portsmouth. In another rave, security videos and covered his | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
face. The court was told that all the betting staff had suffered from | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
mental anguish and that several were still suffering even now. | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
Statement from the victims were read to the court, who reported | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
problems with sleeping, self- confident, and several said they | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
were too scared to be on their own, either at work or at home. His | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
three-month series average to come across Sussex, Hampshire, Essex, | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
Bedfordshire and London. The he has clearly employed a number of | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
disguises come he was trying to hide his identity. Fortunately for | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
us, Ladbrokes themselves have some very good CCTV, and were able to | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
identify him at a very early stage, unfortunately, it took so well to | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
catch him but that was more to do with his transient nature. | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
judge said he was going to have to serve 12 years before being | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
eligible for parole. Will people were injured after two | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
buses collided in Southampton. Hampshire police said no one was | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
seriously hurt after the single- decker vehicles crashed -- 12 | :12:00. | :12:09. | |
people were injured. Still to come in this evening's | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
South Today: Alexis Green runs the race of her life inside the Olympic | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
stadium. It is so amazing coming into the stadium. There are over | :12:16. | :12:24. | |
20,000 people here, it is The 30th anniversary of the | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
Argentina invasion of the Falkland Islands is being remembered across | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
the South today, by the thousands of military personnel and civilians | :12:29. | :12:36. | |
who played a part in the re-capture of the islands. Steve Humphrey is | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
in Portsmouth, from where many ships in the Task Force set sail. | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
Yes, the Argentinean invasion sparked off some frenetic activity | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
here in Portsmouth and in Southampton to prepare the Task | :12:47. | :12:55. | |
Force for action in the South Atlantic. A few days later on April | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
5th 1982 - thousands of people were here to wave goodbye to the ships | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
heading to the Falklands - and to wish them good luck. It's a | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
conflict that still arouses strong feelings. Today, I've been talking | :13:08. | :13:18. | |
:13:18. | :13:18. | ||
to people in Gosport. I hope it never happens again but we could | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
still be banned prepared. From what we read about, possibly we would | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
not be able to do it again. We were believing that we have done a good | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
job. They are very patriotic air. They are coming down from the other | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
quite and down to the Falklands and everybody turned up to see them | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
depart and to come back. Well, altogether some 20,000 men were | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
sent to the South Atlantic to re- capture the islands. The war lasted | :13:48. | :13:58. | |
:13:58. | :13:58. | ||
a total of 74 days. There was little a small detachment of | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
marines could do to resist Argentina's invasion on April | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
Second, 1982. But in Britain, there was a swift response. | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
government has decided a task force will set sail as soon as all | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
preparations are complete. -- complete. They were leading a task | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
force out of Portsmouth Harbour. As luck would have it, 20 ships were | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
ready in the Atlantic on exercises, commanded by this Rea at will, now | :14:30. | :14:38. | |
living in Chichester. -- Admiral. We had 48 hours' notice to go to | :14:38. | :14:45. | |
war. But we had a big group of ships one-third of the way down | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
there and that was a help with timing. Also at sea, Chris Parry | :14:50. | :14:57. | |
from Portsmouth. This armed helicopter observer had just | :14:57. | :15:03. | |
published the diary he kept in 1982. What was remarkable was that in | :15:03. | :15:10. | |
three hours of being shaken, I was in my overalls and we were flying | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
alongside the ships and transferring ammunition, storage | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
and personnel. 255 British servicemen died in the battle to | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
liberate the Falkland Islands and more were injured. John from | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
Gosport suffered severe burns while saving -- saving on HMS Sheffield. | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
This destroyer was hit by a missile on a 4th, 1982. Members of the crew | :15:36. | :15:43. | |
were killed, 20 of them. I covered my face with my hands and ran to | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
port side. As I was climbing up I could see the skin falling off the | :15:48. | :15:54. | |
back at my hand. I got through to the deck and from there I made my | :15:54. | :16:02. | |
way forward and some people helped me. The conflict ended with the | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
Argentinian surrender in June 1982 but the war of words over the | :16:06. | :16:13. | |
Falklands has never stopped. Royal Navy have confirmed that HMS | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
Dauntless will leave on Wednesday for a six-month deployment to the | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
South Atlantic. They say the timing, almost exactly 30 years after the | :16:23. | :16:33. | |
:16:33. | :16:36. | ||
task force left is purely a BBC Radio Solent will be live at | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
the Round Tower in Portsmouth on Thursday with a special programme | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
commemorating the day the task force left the city. A new state of | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
the art park has an open for young people in and around Hampshire. It | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
has been funded by the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund as part of a | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
programme to help the families of servicemen and women. They believe | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
they should support people at home as well as serving on the front | :17:02. | :17:09. | |
line but think the two go hand in hand. This games area sits on the | :17:09. | :17:16. | |
Park estate. 140 houses filled by men and women working at the Royal | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
Air Force. Today is the opening but the families have been giving it a | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
trial run. Before this, they did not have a focal meeting point. | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
When parents go on tour, especially with two parents serving, it is | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
frustrating for the children because they think that they are | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
missing out because they have not got their parents at have to move | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
every couple of years and do not have friends or very long. This | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
makes a big difference. I come here nearly every day and you can meet | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
up with other friends and talk about problems and be there for | :17:50. | :17:57. | |
them. It is not a complete distraction. It is my birthday. | :17:57. | :18:04. | |
This is the second time of my dad has gone away. It cost �200,000 to | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
build but it is part of a �24 million programme being driven by | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund. We have got 40 play parks and 80 | :18:15. | :18:24. | |
youth workers and 1,600 children's -- children are benefiting. We are | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
supporting people at home and that is the bedrock of what we do abroad. | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
The benevolent fund is providing a facility to keep families happy. We | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
rely on their support for what we are doing. They seem pleased by the | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
investment. A small way to relieving some of the strainer on | :18:44. | :18:54. | |
:18:54. | :18:54. | ||
RAF parents at home and people on Sport. Six games left! Exciting, | :18:54. | :19:01. | |
isn't it? As exciting as ever and Southampton will not have one of | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
their top strikers, out for the season because of foot surgery. | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
This is what happened at the weekend. We are watching | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
Southampton and Reading had the top of the Championship. Anton | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
Zingaravitch here. 1-0 behind. What a comeback at Upton Park. Kaspars | :19:23. | :19:30. | |
Gorkss with the equaliser. It ended 3-1 after a penalty by Ian Harte in | :19:30. | :19:38. | |
the second half. But then it became 4-2. It was a fantastic result for | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
the Royals. Southampton surrendered a poor defeat at Blackpool. His | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
penalty saved and they conceded themselves. Stephen Dobbie with a | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
double and Ian Evatt with a header. Jason Roberts of flying at the | :19:52. | :19:59. | |
moment. As soon as I have come to the club, that is the way that they | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
have been preparing for every game hands doing that is a positive but | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
it is just three points and will not been anything if we get a | :20:07. | :20:15. | |
negative result in the next game. Reading could go top on Friday if | :20:15. | :20:25. | |
:20:25. | :20:26. | ||
they beat Leeds. So let's start the round up with Brighton's crucial | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
point against play off rivals Middlesbrough. There was not much | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
between them at the stadium. The visitors got in front just past the | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
hour. The teams and players must be brave in the final weeks and this | :20:40. | :20:49. | |
play was just that with a diving header. -- player. They were pretty | :20:49. | :20:56. | |
dangerous as well. The Portsmouth boss is pleased to be based in | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
Southampton on Saturday had hoped it will be a good stage to bounce | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
back from their defeat against Burnley. Level after David Norris | :21:04. | :21:11. | |
but Burnley run away with it in the second half. Charlie Austin backed | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
a hat-trick in 16 minutes as Portsmouth slumped. Almost | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
dominated long periods against Yeovil in League One. But they had | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
to settle for a draw. Crawley fought out a draw with Burton | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
Albion. 0-0. Uneventful compared to the trip to Bradford. Aldershot | :21:31. | :21:39. | |
paid because of a face from the past. This former striker equalised, | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
leading Aldershot eight points away from the play-offs. We'll round up | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
all the football in Late Kick off tonight. Steve Fletcher joins | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
myself and Leroy Rosenior from five past 11 on BBC1. Sussex have signed | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
the Australian seamer Steven Magoffin as their overseas player | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
for the season. Magoffin will link up with the Sussex team who kick | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
off their county championship campaign this week against Surrey | :21:58. | :22:06. | |
at the Oval on Wednesday. I think it is very easy to say, when this | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
competition, when that competition. Lee's words at this time of the | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
year. We want people to play to their strengths and work hard and | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
stay tight as A-team and we will not be far off. Hampshire's season | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
doesn't begin until next week and tonight their captain Jimmy Adams | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
joins Chairman Rod Bransgrove and manager Giles White for the annual | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
BBC Radio Solent cricket forum. It's live from 7:05pm. What about a | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
chance to be among the first to cross the finish line inside the | :22:34. | :22:40. | |
London Olympic Stadium? A dream come true. They will come true for | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
5,000 lucky people after a ballot to do just that and Alexis Green | :22:45. | :22:51. | |
was running with them. It was a dream come true. These 5000 would | :22:51. | :22:58. | |
be fast to take in the sight of the Olympic Park. -- were the first. It | :22:58. | :23:05. | |
is just phenomenal. I cannot wait to get inside. The runner was | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
organised by the National Lottery as a tank -- as a thank-you for the | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
public support over the years. run about in the stadium and that | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
is a good thing to talk about for next year. Starting and running the | :23:20. | :23:27. | |
race, to Princess Beatrice. They meandered around the Olympic Park | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
and about the runners to take in the sights and sounds. Friends and | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
volunteers welcome to them. First, Stuart from Cheshire. Tommy was | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
that there has to run, finishing in 25 minutes. After him, the other | :23:43. | :23:50. | |
4998. It is amazing coming in here. We have got 20,000 people here. | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
is incredible. I pushed it a bit too fast at the end. I tried to | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
enjoy it and really enjoyed it. When you think about all the sites | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
along the way, fascinating. Everybody was looking everywhere. | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
That was quite something, up there, I have got to admit. Did it feel | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
like you were back at the Olympics? I thought I had not done that for a | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
few years and it was a bit strange. It was plain to see that this was a | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
day that will be remembered for the people that took part for many | :24:23. | :24:32. | |
years to come. What an opportunity. But clearly we were not fit enough. | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
It was amazing. They were playing Chariots of Fire in the stadium. I | :24:37. | :24:47. | |
:24:47. | :24:47. | ||
thought, come on, give it a wave. But he did not win. I did not. It | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
But he did not win. I did not. It is all change, isn't it? That it | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
conditions to start Easter. Thank you, George Andrews for best | :24:57. | :25:05. | |
picture. Thank you, Philip Chapman from Fareham in Hampshire. We can | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
see that the cloud is coming up tonight. Temperatures plunging this | :25:10. | :25:16. | |
week. It will increase by the end of the week but by Wednesday, a top | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
temperature of just nine. Much colder after last week's very warm | :25:21. | :25:28. | |
temperatures. We will get a bit of rain in northern areas. Cloud, some | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
clear spells and just above freezing. Not as cold as last night. | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
Six and seven degrees. Tomorrow will be bright with its sunshine | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
but showers coming from the north and west. It could be very much hit | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
and miss. Rain for some but not others and a top temperature of 11 | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
or 12. Wind picking up tomorrow night. Winter conditions in some | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
areas with temperatures dropping towards freezing. We could have | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
snow a cross the hilltops in the north and west. A couple of | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
centimetres would be possible. Temperatures down to three degrees. | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
The risk of showers continue on Wednesday morning until midday. | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
Pressure building from the Atlantic. This is the picture in the | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
Continent and we have got this until the middle of the day on | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
Wednesday but improving by the afternoon. A damp start on Thursday | :26:30. | :26:36. | |
and showers cannot be ruled out. Then, late sunshine. Improving on | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
Friday and a more settled team. Temperatures start increasing but | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
very slowly. This week we can expect rain in the form of showers | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
merging into longer spells for some. Wind picking up in the afternoon | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
and winter conditions through to Wednesday morning. The potential | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
for a couple of centimetres of snow for a couple of centimetres of snow | :27:02. | :27:08. | |
on the hilltops. Sunny by Friday. On this day 100 years ago, the | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
Titanic left Belfast for Southampton and 1,500 people died | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
in the North Atlantic and more than one third were from Southampton. | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
From tomorrow we have a series of special films about the Titanic and | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
we start with a group of musicians keeping the memory alive of the | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
people that died and the people that survived the disaster which | :27:28. | :27:32. |
