Hello, good evening, I'm Tom Hepworth. A 49-year-old man is in

:00:13.:00:15.

hospital with potentially life threatening head injuries after

:00:15.:00:24.

being attacked by a group of people at Gosport in Hampshire.

:00:24.:00:27.

Andrew Toseland, who's 49, was attacked outside his flat in

:00:27.:00:37.
:00:37.:00:40.

Garland Court on Forton Road in Gosport early on Saturday morning.

:00:40.:00:48.

Andrew went out into a communal area to tell a group to come down.

:00:48.:00:51.

Hampshire Police arrested a total of eight people following the

:00:51.:00:53.

attack. One man has been charged with inflicting grievous bodily

:00:53.:00:56.

harm and remanded in custody. Another man has been released

:00:56.:01:02.

without charge. Four men, a 22- year-old woman and a 16-year-old

:01:02.:01:05.

youth have all been released on bail until October 17.

:01:05.:01:09.

The family of a 10-year-old girl, who died after a car crash on the

:01:09.:01:14.

Isle of Wight, have said she was "adored by everyone she met." Evey

:01:14.:01:17.

Staley was fatally injured when the Subaru car, in which she was

:01:17.:01:20.

travelling, collided with a Ford Puma on the A3020 Cowes Road in

:01:20.:01:26.

Newport on Friday evening. Her father and mother, who were also in

:01:26.:01:30.

the car, remain seriously ill in hospital.

:01:30.:01:32.

The leader of Bournemouth Borough Council says services will not be

:01:32.:01:35.

affected, despite the outsourcing of departments to a company in

:01:35.:01:42.

financial difficulty. Mouchel has been forced to sell its assets to

:01:42.:01:47.

the banks which have lent it the most money. It had run up debts of

:01:47.:01:57.
:01:57.:02:00.

The council's contract to which Mouchel was worth �300 million over

:02:00.:02:07.

10 years. It took over four departments. The company's share

:02:07.:02:17.
:02:17.:02:20.

price plummeted. What is really important is that everybody

:02:20.:02:24.

understands clearly that the position now is much stronger than

:02:24.:02:29.

it was before, the uncertainty has been removed, and I think the

:02:29.:02:36.

threat to jobs is actually non- existent. Mouchel had outsourcing

:02:36.:02:40.

contracts for councils in Rochdale and Milton Keynes, but both those

:02:40.:02:50.

authorities dropped Mouchel. Earlier this year, the figure was

:02:50.:02:55.

revised down. Union bosses wanted a review into how realistic those

:02:55.:02:59.

saving forecasts are. I hope we will be involved in this process,

:02:59.:03:05.

to make sure that staff's jobs are protected. We find out if this

:03:05.:03:09.

contract really is providing value for money for Bournemouth, because

:03:10.:03:15.

if it isn't, that is not in any one's interests. What this means

:03:15.:03:22.

the council taxpayers remains to be seen. Mouchel's chief executive

:03:22.:03:26.

says it is business as usual. Preparatory work will start next

:03:26.:03:29.

month on a �12 million flood defence scheme to protect

:03:29.:03:33.

Littlehampton in West Sussex. Dozens of homes on the seafront had

:03:33.:03:36.

to be evacuated in June when torrential rain caused flooding up

:03:36.:03:40.

to four feet deep in places. Site investigations will start in

:03:40.:03:43.

September and the construction of a tidal flood defence wall along the

:03:43.:03:48.

River Arun should begin late next year.

:03:48.:03:51.

Fewer crimes were committed at the Reading Festival this year, despite

:03:51.:03:55.

police fears it would be targetted by gangs from Eastern Europe.

:03:55.:03:57.

Thames Valley Police recorded 50 incidents involving thefts from

:03:57.:04:03.

tents and drug offences. There were just over 140 crimes last year.

:04:03.:04:13.

Around 87,000 people attended the festival.

:04:13.:04:16.

The Paralympic flame has arrived in Weymouth and Portland today for a

:04:16.:04:18.

special evening celebration as part of its journey to the Opening

:04:19.:04:23.

Ceremony of the Games. Hamish Marshall was there to see it arrive.

:04:23.:04:27.

Appropriately for the home of the sailing events, it was a water-

:04:27.:04:33.

borne a rival. 300 it waved it off from Port learnt, and every vantage

:04:33.:04:39.

point was taken. A poor day of weather of relented just at the

:04:39.:04:46.

right time. I think it is fantastic, to support the super heroes we have.

:04:46.:04:52.

We hope we would see something if we were down here. The flame was

:04:52.:04:59.

lit from the English flame, one of four touring the country. Two local

:04:59.:05:03.

flame ambassadors proudly carried the lamp as it made its way along a

:05:03.:05:10.

packed seafront. Words cannot describe it. It was gobsmacked in!

:05:10.:05:16.

It was brilliant. Seeing people's faces, smiling and waving, showing

:05:16.:05:22.

a lot of support for it. Ridiculous! I am just an ordinary

:05:22.:05:29.

guy. It was lovely. I was trying to thank everybody. After an official

:05:29.:05:34.

welcoming ceremony, people are keen to take their chance, and to get up

:05:34.:05:37.

close and personal with the flame. No one was sure how many people

:05:38.:05:42.

would come here today, but the term that has exceeded all expectations.

:05:42.:05:48.

It seems that Olympic fever is turning into Paralympic fever.

:05:48.:05:51.

Tomorrow, the flame will be in Aylesbury for the start of the

:05:51.:05:54.

Paralympic torch relay to the Olympic Stadium. And we will be

:05:54.:05:57.

there, too, for a special South Today. Alexis Green has your

:05:57.:06:07.
:06:07.:06:10.

A band of rain will move its way north and east would tonight.

:06:10.:06:15.

Gradually clearing its way north and east woods. Heavy bursts.

:06:15.:06:19.

Clearing skies would develop as we head towards dawn, and most places

:06:19.:06:28.

will be dry. Tomorrow it is an improvement on today. There is the

:06:28.:06:35.

outside chance of the odd stray shower. Elsewhere, dry with sunny

:06:35.:06:41.

spells and temperatures up a notch from today - 20 or 21 Celsius. Low

:06:41.:06:45.

pressure comes into play on Wednesday. You can see the squeeze

:06:45.:06:51.

on the isobars and the winds will pick up. Pretty unsettled picture.

:06:51.:06:56.

But then, after a few showers on Thursday, an improving picture

:06:56.:07:02.

later on the day. By the end of the week, high pressure builds. More

:07:02.:07:06.

settled conditions. Before that, wet and windy conditions on

:07:07.:07:10.

Wednesday. The odd shower on Thursday. But high pressure builds

:07:10.:07:15.

him on Friday, so towards the weekend, dry, settled and sunny,

:07:15.:07:20.

and tomorrow it is also looking pretty good.
