:08:09. > :08:13.At the heart of the cases whether the accused hunt members were
:08:13. > :08:17.involved in illegal fox-hunting or taking part in entirely legitimate
:08:17. > :08:21.trail hunting. That is when a centre is laid for the hounds to
:08:21. > :08:25.follow and there is no intention to pursue wild animals. Horsham
:08:25. > :08:29.magistrates' courts has seen videos taken by the hunt monitors of the
:08:29. > :08:33.Crawley and Horsham Hunt during incidents last year. Prosecution
:08:33. > :08:38.witness, Professor Stephen Harris, an international expert on foxes,
:08:38. > :08:42.said he could not see any evidence of trail hunting in the footage. It
:08:42. > :08:46.looked like traditional fox-hunting. But his independence was questioned
:08:46. > :08:50.by the defence. Professor Harris acknowledged he had been in favour
:08:50. > :08:55.of the hunting ban and also confirmed he had never given
:08:55. > :09:00.evidence on behalf of a hunt as an expert witness. The report he had
:09:00. > :09:05.prepared for the case will also be questioned. The defence barrister,
:09:05. > :09:09.David Parry, said, everything you say undermines the hunt, doesn't
:09:09. > :09:13.it? Where is the balance? Professor Harris said it was balanced and the
:09:14. > :09:18.evidence is fairly strong. The court has already visited sites in
:09:18. > :09:22.West Sussex where it is alleged illegal fox-hunting to place. The
:09:22. > :09:27.trial centres on four incidents over three days in January and
:09:27. > :09:31.February last year. Four members of the Crawley and Horsham Hunt are
:09:31. > :09:35.accused of breaking the hunting ban. They are Jamie hawksbill, Rachel
:09:35. > :09:43.Holdsworth, Andrew Phillips and Neil Millard. The defence has
:09:43. > :09:46.started an application to have the Emergency services in Southampton
:09:46. > :09:51.have rescued an injured person from the cab of a crane. The incident
:09:51. > :09:54.happened this morning at the city's docks. An aerial ladder and a
:09:54. > :09:57.specialist rope team were used to lower the patient to the ground
:09:57. > :10:03.after around two and a half hours. Once safely on the dockside the
:10:03. > :10:08.casualty was taken to hospital by Now, have you noticed the price of
:10:08. > :10:11.petrol coming down? No? Apparently not many people have. But according
:10:11. > :10:14.to the AA, which is based in Basingstoke, the price should be
:10:14. > :10:24.dropping by six pence a litre. Our Transport Correspondent Paul
:10:24. > :10:25.
:10:25. > :10:30.The price we pay at the pumps has gone up by 10 pence per litre so
:10:30. > :10:34.far this year. But the AIA says it should be coming down again. That
:10:34. > :10:40.is by 6p. That is because there has been a big drop in the wholesale
:10:40. > :10:45.price of fuel. At Bridge Garage on Salisbury Plain, like almost
:10:45. > :10:52.everywhere else, the price has stayed high. You are talking about
:10:52. > :10:57.an outlay of anything up to �40,000 if you want to fill your tank. The
:10:57. > :11:01.averages nearly up to �35,000 anyway. The cost of fuel is so high
:11:01. > :11:06.and you have to wait until you have sold it before you can refill at
:11:07. > :11:11.the cheaper price and pass it on to the customer. It just keeps going
:11:11. > :11:15.up and up. They are going up significantly and its putting up a
:11:15. > :11:21.few pounds on the fill up. What does surprise me is no one seems to
:11:21. > :11:25.care. There are still great traffic jams up and down the motorway.
:11:25. > :11:30.Whatever it is, people just pay it. Every time the price of petrol goes
:11:30. > :11:35.up by one penny per litre it adds �13 to the average fuel bill of an
:11:35. > :11:40.average driver in an average car. Since petrol has gone up by 10
:11:40. > :11:45.pence per litre this year, that is an extra �130 on the family budget.
:11:45. > :11:49.We should be looking at a reduction of something like 6p, that is how
:11:49. > :11:54.much a wholesale price has fallen since the beginning of the month.
:11:54. > :11:58.We have not seen that yet, only about a penny. If the price does
:11:59. > :12:02.come down by a few pence, the relief could be short-lived. The
:12:02. > :12:11.government is committed to increasing the fuel duty again this

:12:19. > :12:23.Olympic sailing and windsurfing events which take place there

:12:40. > :12:44.South Today, the weekend weather I will have the weekend weather
:12:44. > :12:48.forecast shortly. It will be mainly wet and windy. This month we have
:12:48. > :12:56.had double the amount of rainfall we normally have and it certainly
:12:56. > :12:59.It all started two years ago with a letter about the plight of a young
:12:59. > :13:04.soldier. As a child, Jack Otter used to holiday at Swanage in
:13:04. > :13:07.Dorset. After he was injured in Afghanistan, his family asked the
:13:07. > :13:16.Swanage Regatta Carnival if there was a caravan that could meet his
:13:16. > :13:19.needs as a severely disabled man. That sparked a fundraising campaign,
:13:19. > :13:21.and a quarter of a million pounds later, today saw the official
:13:21. > :13:31.opening of a special holiday home for injured soldiers, veterans and
:13:31. > :13:35.
:13:35. > :13:39.Proof that dreams really can come true. Jack Potter was injured in
:13:39. > :13:43.Afghanistan three years ago. In hospital his mother had promised
:13:43. > :13:48.him they would holiday again in Swan age, as they had done as a
:13:49. > :13:52.child. To date she was able to make the which come through. First thing
:13:52. > :13:57.I did was cry when there were no excess will caravans, so I sent
:13:57. > :14:01.this e-mail, the now famous e-mail, asking for an explanation and
:14:01. > :14:06.whether they would consider funding and accessible caravan somewhere in
:14:06. > :14:11.Swan age for injured soldiers. e-mail to the carnival prompted a
:14:11. > :14:14.big fund-raising campaign and their heroes project was born. They have
:14:14. > :14:19.raised to a quarter of a million pounds. This is how it has been
:14:19. > :14:25.spent, a specially adapted holiday home which are, days it wheelchair
:14:25. > :14:29.users and their families. -- which accommodate so wheelchair users and
:14:29. > :14:35.their families. It is easy, it has a wet room, so you don't have to
:14:35. > :14:40.struggle to do the day-to-day things. It is lovely outside, not
:14:40. > :14:43.too far away from the beach, and it is just fantastic. Injured
:14:43. > :14:47.servicemen and their families will pay �200 to use the facility which
:14:47. > :14:52.can house up to six people at a time. Most of today's visitors
:14:52. > :14:56.seemed impressed. I think it will make a massive difference to the
:14:56. > :15:00.families of injured soldiers, not just the guys themselves, but the
:15:00. > :15:03.families as well. It gives them a respite away from each other or
:15:03. > :15:08.together, away from the public, so they can come to terms with their
:15:08. > :15:16.injuries. A break is as good as a rest, and for many people this
:15:16. > :15:20.haven could provide the perfect I am sure it will be well used by
:15:20. > :15:22.those deserving soldiers and their families. On to the sport, and we
:15:22. > :15:27.are looking ahead to a really interesting weekend, particularly
:15:27. > :15:30.for Southampton fans. A big weekend. Saints go into Saturday's match
:15:30. > :15:33.knowing that a win over Coventry will seal their promotion to the
:15:33. > :15:36.top flight. St Mary's is a sell-out and confidence is high. The last
:15:36. > :15:46.time Southampton were in this position was 34 years ago. The man
:15:46. > :15:51.in charge then was Lawrie McMenemy. We knew we were up, it was a nice,
:15:51. > :15:53.relaxed atmosphere. Throughout the 1978 season it was the goals of Ted
:15:53. > :15:57.McDougall and Phil Boyer which propelled Southampton into another
:15:57. > :16:07.league. Today, the weight of expectation lies at the feet of
:16:07. > :16:08.
:16:09. > :16:12.There is more at stake here tomorrow. If they play the way they
:16:12. > :16:17.have been playing, they have been playing Premiership style Football
:16:17. > :16:21.anyway, and the crowd will blow the ball in for the first goal anyway.
:16:21. > :16:25.And Ricky Lambert will have to do the rest. Back then - a draw with
:16:25. > :16:30.Spurs was all they needed. Now a win at Coventry would nail their
:16:31. > :16:34.place in the Premier League. We do not want any incentives at all. We
:16:34. > :16:39.want to be the best we can be an we want to play in the big league.
:16:39. > :16:43.you need any incentive, maybe they have to look at themselves. It is
:16:43. > :16:46.about being the best you can be. Victory tomorrow would see scenes
:16:46. > :16:49.like these from last year. Two promotions on the bounce and a �90
:16:49. > :16:52.million windfall. And the odds are stacked in their favour. Coventry
:16:52. > :17:02.are already relegated. Saints haven't been out of the top two
:17:02. > :17:08.since September. Credit to Southampton. It's not a lucky
:17:08. > :17:11.position they are in, it is a deserved one. So, many people will
:17:11. > :17:14.have high hopes of painting the town red following Saturday's match
:17:14. > :17:16.if everything goes to plan. But at one pub they've already got the
:17:16. > :17:19.paint out. Red and white paint, to be precise.

:17:29. > :17:36.the mast. Well, to the outer walls at least, as it backs Saints in
:17:36. > :17:39.their final push to the Premier League. Why not? Let's put some
:17:39. > :17:48.feel-good into recession time and enjoy ourselves. Let's make
:17:48. > :17:53.everyone feel good. Wow! Colourful. I hadn't noticed it before!
:17:53. > :18:00.can't argue with that. It is very good. Is it for the Saints?
:18:00. > :18:03.Brilliant isn't it? How you can not notice it, I don't know. That
:18:03. > :18:12.crucial match for Southampton is live on BBC1 tomorrow from 12:15pm
:18:12. > :18:15.and there's also full coverage on BBC Radio Solent. At the other end
:18:15. > :18:18.of the table, already relegated Portsmouth face Nottingham Forest
:18:18. > :18:21.in their last game of the season. And emotions will run high for
:18:21. > :18:24.entirely different reasons. As finances grow ever tighter, it'll
:18:24. > :18:27.be a last match for many of the players, who face being moved on
:18:27. > :18:32.simply to keep the club afloat. Michael Appleton admits it'll be
:18:32. > :18:36.tough. It's going to be a difficult game
:18:36. > :18:40.on Saturday. It is probably the only game I have gone into
:18:40. > :18:43.concerned about what the outcome will be a, because for the first
:18:43. > :18:47.time ever I'm not sure what I'm going to get out of the game and
:18:47. > :18:50.what will get from the players. Because, obviously, it's been a
:18:50. > :18:53.difficult week. Meanwhile, Reading is gearing up for one of the
:18:53. > :18:59.biggest celebrations the town has ever seen. It follows the club's

:20:47. > :20:49.you. It was a case of journey's end, at last, this afternoon for a steam
:20:49. > :20:52.locomotive which finally arrived at her destination a small matter of
:20:52. > :20:55.46 years after she should have. Back in 1966, the locomotive, named
:20:55. > :20:58.the Clan Line, was stopped in her tracks by railway bosses because
:20:58. > :21:07.she was too heavy. This afternoon in front of crowds of enthusiasts

:21:10. > :21:13.steam into Swanage was five months before England won the World Cup.
:21:13. > :21:16.She was banned from running down the single branch line for being
:21:16. > :21:22.too heavy and withdrawn from service by British Railways a year
:21:22. > :21:32.So when she finally reached the end of the line this afternoon it was
:21:32. > :21:33.
:21:33. > :21:38.the end of a journey 46-years in the making. It is a very well-
:21:38. > :21:43.maintained machine. She has been kept immaculate, magnificently kept
:21:43. > :21:46.by the support group. Once the mainstay of railway services
:21:46. > :21:49.between the south coast and the capital, the Clan Line was built at
:21:49. > :21:52.Eastleigh in 1948, to haul long express trains carrying many a
:21:52. > :21:55.holidaymaker to the seaside. She finally made it to Swanage thanks
:21:55. > :22:02.to the meticulous work by volunteers who've not only rebuilt
:22:02. > :22:06.the line, but also strengthened the track. When the railway closed and
:22:07. > :22:13.some of the bridges were removed we have the opportunity to put larger,
:22:13. > :22:17.stronger bridges and at that point which do allow a larger and heavier
