:00:06. > :00:09.South Today. In tonight's programme: As claims of sexual assault are made

:00:09. > :00:19.against a local MP, the woman making them speaks exclusively to BBC

:00:19. > :00:19.

:00:19. > :00:26.South. He is so arrogant. He has a way with words and women. It makes

:00:26. > :00:29.me really angry. I just want to be listened to. It's been three years.

:00:29. > :00:31.A primary school teacher appears in court charged with possessing

:00:32. > :00:34.indecent images of children. Desperate to have more time with her

:00:34. > :00:44.children - the mother dying of cancer having to fight for the

:00:44. > :00:48.treatment she wants. We are all going to die. We are all going to go

:00:48. > :00:54.the same way. I'm not ready to go yet. And my kids are not ready to

:00:54. > :01:03.lose me yet. And the artist who sketched Great White sharks while

:01:03. > :01:06.underwater. The woman at the centre of

:01:06. > :01:10.allegations against the MP for Portsmouth South, Mike Hancock, has

:01:10. > :01:15.been speaking exclusively to the BBC. The 37-year-old woman has

:01:15. > :01:18.brought a High Court civil case, claiming sexual assault. Mr Hancock

:01:18. > :01:22.denies the claim and last night resigned from the parliamentary

:01:22. > :01:27.party, saying that was in the best interests of the party and for his

:01:27. > :01:31.family. Peter Henley has spoken to the woman making the claims, and

:01:31. > :01:39.joins me now. So Peter, serious allegations, which have been

:01:39. > :01:44.strenuously denied by the MP? they have been all along. First of

:01:44. > :01:48.all the police arrested him and did not with charges. When a complaint

:01:48. > :01:53.was made to the Parliamentary standards Commissioner, he felt it

:01:53. > :01:58.was not within his arena at to investigate. Now there is a civil

:01:58. > :02:03.case, a claim for damages. Mike Hancock dissidence is that as an

:02:03. > :02:08.attempt to get money from him. -- dismisses that. Last night he

:02:08. > :02:12.resigned from the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary party to fight the

:02:12. > :02:18.case. For the first time, we can hear from the woman. We have

:02:18. > :02:23.concealed her identity. He turns up unannounced at my

:02:23. > :02:28.house. I went downstairs, answered the door. I asked him if he was here

:02:28. > :02:32.to see the garden. He said he thought it would be OK if he could

:02:32. > :02:37.come in for a chat. At the start, Annie thought Mike Hancock could

:02:37. > :02:41.help. She had gone to her MP complaining that because of her

:02:41. > :02:46.history of mental illness, her issues with neighbours and housing

:02:46. > :02:55.were not being taken seriously. Soon she said she felt overwhelmed by

:02:55. > :03:03.visits to our house ended that text to the often sent. -- her house

:03:03. > :03:10.and... Some people may feel this is just him being friendly? He is an

:03:10. > :03:14.MP. He should not be behaving like this. Why have you gone on to take a

:03:14. > :03:20.civil action? Basically because of the things he asked me to do. And

:03:20. > :03:27.because he is in a position of trust. He has overstepped the mark.

:03:27. > :03:31.I just feel that nobody has listened to me for three years. And basically

:03:31. > :03:37.I want him to go, because I don't want this to happen to any the

:03:37. > :03:44.woman. I went to him for help. That was basically all they did. The MP

:03:44. > :03:48.for Portsmouth South does not deny that he gave any presence, after

:03:48. > :03:54.inviting her and her 12-year-old son to the House of Commons. A teddy

:03:54. > :03:59.bear, perfume and close. She says she never wore them. And that there

:03:59. > :04:06.was no friendship. To be honest, he is disgusting and I would not touch

:04:06. > :04:12.him with a barge pole. He is so... He is so arrogant. He has a way with

:04:12. > :04:20.words, with women. It makes me really angry. I just want to be

:04:20. > :04:26.listened to. It took three years. have two say this to you, and I

:04:26. > :04:32.don't want to upset you, but people may think that you are pursuing a

:04:32. > :04:39.bit of a vendetta against him? at all. He needs to be honest and

:04:39. > :04:43.tell the truth. Mike Hancock says he is telling the

:04:43. > :04:53.truth. He claims he had a genuine friendship with this woman. His

:04:53. > :05:15.

:05:15. > :05:21.make of this? Mike Hancock is one of the most resilient politicians in

:05:21. > :05:26.the South. First elected 30 years ago, he has been leader of Hampshire

:05:26. > :05:29.county council. He has made friends and many enemies. A man was

:05:29. > :05:33.convicted and fined after a general election for printing leaflets with

:05:33. > :05:38.the untrue claim that he was a paedophile. Remember the Infrared

:05:38. > :05:45.sounder -- surrounding his Russian aid. He admitted having an affair

:05:45. > :05:50.with her. In his hometown he has always had support. I think he is

:05:50. > :05:59.and was, has been a good MP for Portsmouth. If he stands up for

:05:59. > :06:05.election, I will vote for him. should not be able to do anything

:06:05. > :06:12.with the community at the moment. did get things done. And he came

:06:12. > :06:16.down to everybody's level. He has obviously done what he thinks is the

:06:16. > :06:21.right thing. I wish him well in the coming months and, I guess he's

:06:21. > :06:29.independent until the next election, is he? Will Mike Hancock write this

:06:29. > :06:34.one out? -- ride this one out? think the disciplinary committee,

:06:34. > :06:38.which went on a long time last night, was one that worked out in

:06:38. > :06:44.Mike Hancock's favour, better than he might have expected. He has real

:06:44. > :06:48.health issues. Major heart issues. But he is determined to fight on.

:06:48. > :06:54.And he has got backing from the leader of Portsmouth City Council,

:06:54. > :07:02.who has written to Liberal Democrat supporters saying, quote thanks for

:07:02. > :07:07.your support for Mike. We have to redouble our efforts to beat the

:07:07. > :07:11.people who want to drive the Lib Dems and Mike at Portsmouth. It is

:07:11. > :07:15.also clear that the woman we spoke to is also a real fighter and

:07:15. > :07:17.determined to continue with her civil action.

:07:17. > :07:20.A primary school teacher from Bournemouth appeared in court this

:07:20. > :07:22.morning, charged with making and possessing indecent images of

:07:23. > :07:26.children. The court heard that Simon Clannachan, who's 40 years old, was

:07:26. > :07:30.arrested after his wife found the images on the family computer. From

:07:30. > :07:32.Bournemouth Magistrates' Court, Roger Finn reports. The court heard

:07:32. > :07:37.that back in March, Simon Clanachan's wife found images of

:07:37. > :07:40.children in their underwear on the family computer. She took the

:07:40. > :07:45.computer to an IT company, and they confirmed that there were suspicious

:07:45. > :07:50.files. She then took the laptop to the police, who opened the files and

:07:50. > :07:54.found images of child abuse and extreme pornography. Simon Clanachan

:07:54. > :08:00.faces 14 charges of making indecent images of a child and seven more of

:08:00. > :08:03.possessing images showing sexual acts with animals. He did not enter

:08:03. > :08:09.a plea and was released on bail, with strict conditions forbidding

:08:09. > :08:11.any unsupervised contact with children under the age of 18. He has

:08:11. > :08:14.been suspended from his job at Kingsleigh Primary School in

:08:14. > :08:17.Bournemouth, where he has been a class teacher for the last six

:08:17. > :08:26.years. The school's head teacher has now written to all parents with

:08:26. > :08:31.children at Kingsleigh. We have told them that the images being

:08:31. > :08:34.investigated, the police have informed us, are not of children at

:08:34. > :08:39.this school. If anybody needs reassurance, they are invited to

:08:39. > :08:43.come and see me. We have done our best to reassure parents. Simon

:08:43. > :08:47.Clanachan will be tried at Bournemouth Crown Court on July one.

:08:47. > :08:50.A con man from Hampshire who went on the run after faking a pilot's

:08:50. > :08:53.licence and flying jets into Gatwick, has been caught and jailed.

:08:53. > :08:57.Michael Fay, 59, a US national who settled in Alton, was arrested in

:08:58. > :09:00.Winchester last night. He flew passengers into Gatwick Airport on

:09:00. > :09:05.behalf of Libyan company Afriqiyah Airways, without the proper licence

:09:05. > :09:11.and medical documentation on eight occasions. Today he was jailed for

:09:11. > :09:14.three years and one month. Police are asking for the public's help to

:09:14. > :09:17.find a woman who went missing in Dorset last week. Zara Broughton,

:09:17. > :09:21.28, was last seen in Wimborne last Thursday. She left an address in a

:09:21. > :09:24.black Renault Clio. The vehicle was found yesterday, abandoned at the

:09:24. > :09:33.car park at the Durdle Door campsite. Police say it had been

:09:33. > :09:36.there since Saturday. A 30-year-old man is being questioned on suspicion

:09:36. > :09:39.of murder, following the discovery of a woman's body near woodland in

:09:40. > :09:42.Berkshire yesterday. Her identity's not been confirmed, but the body was

:09:42. > :09:46.found by police looking for a missing woman. Krishna Maya, who was

:09:46. > :09:48.39 and a Nepalese national, was last seen on Sunday at her home in

:09:48. > :09:56.Arborfield Garrison. A post-mortem is now being carried out to

:09:56. > :10:02.establish the cause of death. Still to come, diving with great white

:10:02. > :10:05.sharks. The artist to get close and personal to his subjects. A Dorset

:10:05. > :10:10.woman says she is being unfairly denied cancer treatment which could

:10:10. > :10:20.prolong her life. Kathy Craven, who's 43 and has three young sons,

:10:20. > :10:20.

:10:20. > :10:24.has breast cancer which has spread to her liver. NHS England says its

:10:24. > :10:34.urgently reviewing emerging evidence for the technique. Briony Leyland

:10:34. > :10:36.

:10:36. > :10:43.reports. Musical talent runs in Kathy Craven's family. Her sister,

:10:43. > :10:47.Beverley Craven, found fame in the 1990s. There is another less welcome

:10:48. > :10:51.family trait. Several sisters have developed cancer. Two years ago,

:10:51. > :10:59.Kathy discovered that breast cancer had spread to her liver. It was

:10:59. > :11:01.inoperable. I panicked. Just the overwhelming fear when somebody

:11:01. > :11:08.tells you that you are going to lose your life, and it is kind to be

:11:08. > :11:13.months. It is indescribable. Kathy has had four types of chemotherapy,

:11:13. > :11:17.putting a huge strain on her and her young family. Doctors believe she is

:11:17. > :11:23.an ideal candidate for selective internal radiation, which could

:11:23. > :11:26.reduce her tumours. But funding has been turned down by NHS England. It

:11:26. > :11:32.used to be on the National Cancer Drugs List. It has recently been

:11:32. > :11:37.taken off. Kathy has been told she is not an exceptional case. I keep

:11:37. > :11:42.thinking of my promise to my voice. I promised them that I would try

:11:42. > :11:46.anything. I would do anything. Just to be with them for as long as I

:11:46. > :11:51.can. All of us are going to die eventually. We are all going to go

:11:51. > :11:56.the same way. I am not ready to go yet. And my kids are not ready to

:11:56. > :12:02.lose me yet. NHS England is sorry for the distress Kathy and her

:12:02. > :12:12.family are experiencing. It says this is a -- an experimental

:12:12. > :12:29.

:12:29. > :12:33.for NHS funding, she and her family are seeking to raise the �45,000

:12:33. > :12:37.needed for private treatment. Treatment she knows will not save

:12:37. > :12:40.her life but offers some hope of extending it. Police investigating

:12:40. > :12:45.the kidnapping of a British couple in India have arrested a 22-year-old

:12:45. > :12:47.man in Dorset. The arrest came after the closure of a petrol station on

:12:47. > :12:50.Victoria Avenue in Swanage. It's part of a police investigation into

:12:50. > :12:53.the abduction of two British nationals from Chennai Airport, on

:12:53. > :13:02.the East coast of India, last Wednesday. The couple, who are from

:13:02. > :13:05.London, were rescued four days later. There have been warnings that

:13:05. > :13:11.plans to introduce evening parking charges in Southampton could damage

:13:11. > :13:20.the city's night-time economy. The council says the move will raise

:13:20. > :13:26.half a million pounds which it needs following budget cuts. But one

:13:26. > :13:28.culture boss has hit out at the plans, as Chris Robinson reports.

:13:28. > :13:35.Ticket sales are strong at Southampton's Mayflower Theatre -

:13:35. > :13:38.it's attracting big touring West End shows. But prices can run high for

:13:38. > :13:43.the best seats. Add to this fuel, a pre-show meal and interval drinks,

:13:43. > :13:48.and an evening's entertainment can run up a bill. Until now, parking in

:13:48. > :13:52.parts of the city centre after 6pm has been free. Now, the Labour-led

:13:52. > :14:00.council's looking to end that, and there's a fear it could affect the

:14:00. > :14:07.night-time economy. We bring in 450,000 visitors every year to

:14:07. > :14:10.Southampton. We estimate between �7 million and �10 million is spent in

:14:10. > :14:14.Southampton because of a trip to the Mayflower Theatre. There is a

:14:14. > :14:18.negative impact potentially on that income spend coming in to

:14:18. > :14:25.Southampton. Another taxon theatregoing. A tax on the

:14:25. > :14:29.night-time economy. That seems a negative move. At the moment,

:14:29. > :14:34.drivers have to pay to use the multi-storey car park late into the

:14:34. > :14:39.evening. Three options are being considered which would see the

:14:40. > :14:44.introduction of a nominal fee of �1 to park your letter into the

:14:44. > :14:49.evening. The council says the revenue it hopes to make is to half

:14:49. > :14:53.�1 million over three years, with cuts of �16 million being made this

:14:53. > :14:57.year, it is money it cannot afford to do without. If this was a

:14:57. > :15:03.different year with a different financial set-up, we may not be

:15:03. > :15:06.bringing this in. But these are difficult times. If people are

:15:06. > :15:09.travelling considerable distances, paying �1 is more than fair.

:15:09. > :15:11.council says it's just playing catch-up - many other places have

:15:11. > :15:14.introduced small parking charges in the evening, including Portsmouth,

:15:14. > :15:17.Basingstoke and Bournemouth, and drivers still have to park in

:15:17. > :15:20.private car parks. Talks are ongoing - it then has to be approved by

:15:20. > :15:23.civic bosses. If given the go-ahead, in the future, theatregoers will

:15:23. > :15:26.need more than one ticket to take into the show.

:15:26. > :15:30.It's a local facility that's been at the heart of a Hampshire community

:15:30. > :15:32.for generations - the historic Lymington Lido. But the town council

:15:32. > :15:35.will vote this week on whether to hand over the running of the baths

:15:35. > :15:45.to a private firm - and that's making waves locally. Laura Trant

:15:45. > :15:49.has the story. It has been open for 180 years,

:15:49. > :15:53.making Lymington Lido the oldest of its kind in the country and among

:15:54. > :15:57.the largest still in regular use. It is not regular and off for some. At

:15:57. > :16:04.present, it is only open at weekends and all agree that more should be

:16:04. > :16:10.made of this local asset. Last season, we managed to teach more

:16:10. > :16:15.than 2000 kids. We reduced the huge deficit to the town and turned it

:16:15. > :16:20.into a small profit. I am curious as to why you would want to change

:16:20. > :16:24.something that is so successful. Councillors are considering options

:16:25. > :16:28.for future management, including allowing a private company to take

:16:28. > :16:33.over the day-to-day running. pool is in need of a considerable

:16:33. > :16:39.amount of maintenance. Expensive maintenance. The way to do that is

:16:39. > :16:43.find other ways of amassing money. We have put out advertisements for

:16:43. > :16:50.expression of interest. We have remained three. We want to encourage

:16:50. > :16:55.more families. We would open early in the morning. The copy shop will

:16:55. > :17:00.be renovated. We can serve breakfasts and that sort of thing.

:17:00. > :17:04.There is concern that if the Lido passes into private hands, there

:17:04. > :17:11.will be pressure to maximise income. Some fear part of the site could be

:17:11. > :17:15.redeveloped. As a cancer you are just a custodian of the term's

:17:15. > :17:20.money. We have to do what the public want. The public wants to keep this

:17:20. > :17:23.amenity for their own use. It is paramount we keep it in our

:17:23. > :17:27.ownership and control. Councillors will vote tomorrow on the way

:17:28. > :17:32.forward. Now, the daily life of an artist is

:17:32. > :17:35.not usually all that dangerous. Yes, there's always the risk of a bad

:17:35. > :17:43.review or creative block. But when it comes to physical danger, you're

:17:43. > :17:46.generally fairly safe. Well, take a look at this. Bournemouth Artist

:17:46. > :17:51.Jonathan Truss wanted to sketch great white sharks in their natural

:17:51. > :17:54.environment. So last year, he was lowered into the sea off South

:17:54. > :18:02.Africa to do just that. One of the resulting paintings is being shown

:18:02. > :18:08.off in London from today. Earlier I spoke to Jonathan.

:18:08. > :18:13.I asked him why he was willing to take his art to the extreme.

:18:13. > :18:17.recommend everybody to jump in that cage and experience it. It is just

:18:17. > :18:25.so exciting. If you are going to paint wildlife, you have got to see

:18:25. > :18:30.the animal to do it properly. you a diver and are you scared?

:18:30. > :18:34.not a diver and I don't like water. I was out of my comfort is on. I was

:18:34. > :18:39.looking for any excuse not to get in the case. But as soon as the sharks

:18:39. > :18:45.turned up, I couldn't wait to get in there. So exciting. What was it like

:18:45. > :18:54.in the cage. --? You were trying to sketch at the same time as looking

:18:54. > :18:57.at these sharks milling around you. It is very difficult. It was like

:18:57. > :19:03.being a pair of white fronts being thrown around the tumble dryer. You

:19:03. > :19:08.are trying to lock your feet into the cage without leaving any LIMS

:19:08. > :19:18.advocates. You look at the animal. You put it down. You look again. You

:19:18. > :19:22.do more sketching. Very difficult. What did you use for sketching?

:19:22. > :19:27.some Chinese oil crowns on a piece of plastic, when I was in the bath.

:19:27. > :19:32.That is what I adopted. The only thing different is Everything is

:19:32. > :19:38.floating off everywhere. Do you think that the painting that you

:19:39. > :19:43.have come up with, as a result of this, can you see the inspiration

:19:43. > :19:48.behind it, actually going into the environment and seeing these sharks?

:19:48. > :19:52.Definitely. First of all, you have to get the reference. You're coming

:19:52. > :20:00.up with ideas and seeing how these sharks behave and what might work.

:20:00. > :20:06.Taking lots of photographs. That is beautiful. You can see the shaft of

:20:06. > :20:13.sunlight, almost. I would never have come up with that painting had I not

:20:13. > :20:18.seen the sharks. It is a huge challenge. Is this something that

:20:18. > :20:24.you will carry on doing, going into the wild to create something in the

:20:24. > :20:27.environment of the animal, if you like? Absolutely. I have been in

:20:27. > :20:32.Africa for the last 20 years, every year. Looking for something

:20:32. > :20:37.different. I have got a big project for next year. You will be the first

:20:37. > :20:43.to know when it happens. I will not tell you what it is now! Every

:20:43. > :20:49.artist and his wife will be out there doing it. You are the ultimate

:20:49. > :20:54.daredevil artist. Apparently I am! Thank you for coming in.

:20:54. > :21:04.Very courageous artist, don't you think? I wouldn't get in that cage.

:21:04. > :21:08.

:21:08. > :21:10.Take the photo! On to sport. Fabulous weather for cricket. We're

:21:11. > :21:14.going to show you four amazing balls tonight. Surrey's batsmen were blown

:21:14. > :21:16.away by a sensational over from Essex all rounder Graham Napier at

:21:16. > :21:23.Chelmsford last night. Napier took four wickets in four balls as Surrey

:21:23. > :21:30.lost by 178 runs. Aazher Mahmood was first top go, followed by Zander be

:21:30. > :21:33.Brain, Tom Jewell went first ball too, and so did John Lewis. Napier

:21:33. > :21:43.finished with figures of seven for 32, including the scalp of Ricky

:21:43. > :21:48.

:21:48. > :21:51.Ponting. Tremendous achievement. Aldershot Town fans will meet

:21:51. > :21:53.tonight to present their proposal to buy the club. Supporters want to

:21:53. > :21:58.mirror outfits like Portsmouth and Exeter and take control of the

:21:58. > :22:01.debt-ridden club, relegated out of the Football League in April. The

:22:01. > :22:06.Aldershot supporter's Trust led by Terry Owens will meet to decide how

:22:06. > :22:09.fans and businesses could invest in the team. Over the last few months,

:22:09. > :22:12.South Today has profiled a real golden generation of young golfers

:22:12. > :22:18.in our region. We've profiled one of the world's best young women's

:22:18. > :22:26.players, Dorset's Georgia Hall. Then there was Faldo series winner 2012,

:22:26. > :22:29.Jack Singh Brah. And here's another. Harry Ellis is already a record

:22:29. > :22:37.breaker, and the rain at Meon Valley golf club in Hampshire didn't stop

:22:37. > :22:42.him taking me out for a game. He may only be 17, but already Harry

:22:42. > :22:45.Ellis's name sits alongside Nick Faldo's in English golf. He became

:22:45. > :22:53.the youngest winner of the English amateur championship last year. He

:22:53. > :22:57.was 16. 2012 was a massive year for me in my progression as a golfer.

:22:58. > :23:05.Having a win like I did back in early August as an amateur, was a

:23:05. > :23:11.huge door opener. I first met Harry when he was 13. I have kept working

:23:11. > :23:21.hard. I was enjoying it. Competing and playing. Always trying to break

:23:21. > :23:25.90, break 80, and eventually the 70 mark. Out onto the course. You can't

:23:25. > :23:29.hide from the rain if you want to reach the top. With that amateur

:23:29. > :23:36.title, Harry is tipped to go far. He certainly headed further than I

:23:36. > :23:42.did. Your name will be next to Nick Faldo's? Exactly. It is a lovely

:23:42. > :23:49.thing to have. Hopefully it will stand for a long time. Looks good.

:23:49. > :23:55.Very good. And Harry Ellis's play means he has now got the big

:23:55. > :23:59.question in his career. When to turn professional? He still has some

:23:59. > :24:04.amateur targets. I have a long way to go. I want to get better as

:24:04. > :24:09.quickly as possible. But I have to be patient. He hopes to be part of

:24:09. > :24:13.Great Britain and Ireland's Walker cup team, the amateur version. He

:24:13. > :24:21.has the talent and focus to be as force on the world stage. But only

:24:21. > :24:31.when he is ready. Dreadful weather. We did that a few days ago. Did you

:24:31. > :24:31.

:24:32. > :24:38.do a good shot in that? I did, yes! It was about 30 seconds in. Every

:24:38. > :24:41.time Tony does a film in golf, his best shots go into the film. I got a

:24:41. > :24:46.par and that whole. Difficult conditions. That was a birdie for

:24:46. > :24:51.Harry. Impressed with your swing. Very impressed with his swing, as

:24:51. > :25:00.well! Now the weather. Sarah is well! Now the weather. Sarah is

:25:00. > :25:06.here. It felt hotter today? Yes, we had a breeze. It was a little on the

:25:06. > :25:08.fresh site. Some lovely sunshine. 21 degrees today. Beautiful round. A

:25:09. > :25:11.beautiful start to the day at Titchfield Haven. Brian Plumridge

:25:11. > :25:16.captured that glorious sunrise. A perfect picture of an English

:25:16. > :25:20.summer's day in Cuddington, Buckinghamshire. Ron Adams sent that

:25:20. > :25:28.photo in. And these sheep were after a bit of shade in sunny Hannington

:25:28. > :25:32.in Hampshire today. Thank you to Barbera Macmurchy for that one. Some

:25:32. > :25:36.beautiful sunshine and plenty more to come for the next few days. This

:25:36. > :25:39.evening, that evening sunshine stays with us. Through the course of

:25:39. > :25:45.tonight we will start to see the cloud increasing. A bit of a two-way

:25:45. > :25:49.split. North of the M4 corridor are likely to see the cloud building in

:25:49. > :25:57.from the east. Further south, coastal areas may see some low

:25:57. > :26:02.cloud. Temperatures dipping to eight or nine degrees. Patchy Mr Fogg

:26:02. > :26:08.possible. We start off on a grey note tomorrow morning. The mist will

:26:08. > :26:12.lift. The cloud Burns back. Another day of glorious sunshine. Not quite

:26:12. > :26:19.as much as to day. It looks like we will see some decent sunny spells,

:26:19. > :26:22.highs of 19 or 20 degrees, and the winds just a touch lighter. As we go

:26:22. > :26:28.through tomorrow night, it is another dry night. It looks like we

:26:28. > :26:33.will see some cloud at times. When we have clear spells, some patches

:26:33. > :26:39.of mist. Temperatures similar to tonight. As we look ahead for the

:26:39. > :26:42.next few days, Thursday is another day very similar to today. We start

:26:42. > :26:47.off with some missed first thing. Good sunshine in the afternoon.

:26:47. > :26:53.There is the chance we could catch some isolated showers. For the most

:26:53. > :26:58.part, a decent, dry and bright day. It is all courtesy of this area of

:26:58. > :27:04.high pressure. As we move through the end of the week, the winds will

:27:04. > :27:12.pick up. Into Friday, it looks like another good day with some glorious

:27:12. > :27:17.sunny spells. The breeze just picking up. Some cloud but generally

:27:17. > :27:22.a fine day. Here is your summary. Not looking too bad, is it? 20

:27:22. > :27:28.degrees into the weekend. More sunshine ahead. Thunderstorms come
