South Today. In tonight's programme... | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
Unbelievable and worrying - an investigation into a school art | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
lesson where blades were left for children to cut themselves. | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
Jelly on the belly - the screening procedure which could save the lives | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
of thousands of men every year goes nationwide. | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
On hunger strike - why a Dorset woman is supporting the cause of a | :00:27. | :00:37. | |
man in Guantanamo Bay she has never met. | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
He has become a mean like a sort of proxy, virtual son, and I am in | :00:41. | :00:48. | |
agony for him. And join me in Cowes where the wind | :00:48. | :00:56. | |
and rain met the sailors on the A private school on the | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Hampshire-Dorset border is being investigated over claims that pupils | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
were allowed to cut themselves with blades during an art lesson. The | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
Ringwood Waldorf School describes itself as an alternative independent | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
school which allows "an artistic and practical element to flow into all | :01:09. | :01:17. | |
the lessons". The female teacher who took the class has resigned ahead of | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
a disciplinary hearing. The school says this was an isolated incident. | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
Our reporter, David Allard, joins me now. | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
Just what are these circumstances around this? | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
There were 23 pupils in an art history lesson, all in their | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
mid-teens. We understand they were being taught about artists who would | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
paint using their own blood. Some pupils then went on to use blades to | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
cut themselves in the class. This happened on March 19th this year. | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
The teacher was suspended two days later. The school says she had acted | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
independently without their knowledge. It wasn't until 25th | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
April, five weeks after the lesson, that it was reported to the | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
Department for Education. They have described this as a deeply worrying | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
allegation and sent the School Inspection Service to investigate. | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
That is the body that inspects independent schools. We are | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
expecting their report to be published in the near future. In the | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
meantime, the teacher herself has resigned. | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
What has the They refused to give us an interview but issued a statement | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
through a PR company - they said... School said about this? -- what has | :02:29. | :02:39. | |
:02:39. | :02:45. | ||
the school said about this? They But in an email to parents yesterday | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
they go further. They say the teacher jeopardised the welfare of | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
some of our older students, that she showed a deeply disappointing lack | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
of professional judgement, but also that each child was given individual | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
and appropriate support. One parent told me this was a unbelievable | :03:00. | :03:08. | |
thing to have happened. We have heard about another school | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
where pupils have had access to bleeds. | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
Yes, earlier this year pupil at Unstead Park School was given access | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
to disposable razors and left on her own to self harm. The policy was | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
dropped when staff raised concerns with Surrey County Council. As we | :03:27. | :03:37. | |
:03:37. | :03:46. | ||
say, that was unconnected to the activists, including some | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
celebrities, have been on hunger strike in protest at the treatment | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
of the last British resident in Guantanamo Bay, Shaker Aamer. They | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
are calling on Barack Obama to make good his promise to close the camp. | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
A grandmother from Dorset is the latest person to have taken up the | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
cause. Ben Moore reports from Pentridge, near Cranborne. | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
A welcome meal. Margaret Owen, who is nearly 82, has just broken a week | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
long fast. All for a man she's never met. | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
He is a few months younger than my youngest son and he has in the last | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
week... I hope you don't think I am being soppy or sentimental, but it | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
is true, he has become to me like a sort of proxy virtual son, and I am | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
in agony for him. Shaker Aamer has been in Guantanamo | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
over a decade. His wife and children still live in the UK. It has been | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
claimed the US fears that, if he is released to the UK, he will go | :04:34. | :04:44. | |
:04:44. | :04:50. | ||
public with what he knows about the Margaret was a human rights lawyer | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
and kept a blog of her hunger strike. She joins celebrities such | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
as comedian Frankie Boyle and 72-year-old actor Julie Christie in | :04:58. | :05:06. | |
refusing to eat for this cause. I was not irresponsible, I called my | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
GP and pulled him what I was doing, and he said as long as you drink | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
water - not lots and lots, but frequent sips - he was fine with it. | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
Margaret vows to keep on fighting to ensure Shakar Aamer's release. For | :05:22. | :05:32. | |
:05:32. | :05:36. | ||
her there's no lack of appetite for this cause. A screening programme | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
for a life-threatening condition which kills thousands of men a year | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
is being rolled out across the country after successful trials in | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
the South. They are given ultrasound scans of the main artery from the | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
heart to see if there is swelling which could lead to what is known as | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
an aneuryism. Men are six times more likely than women to get these. | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
6,000 a year die from the condition. So far, 20,000 men over 65 have been | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
scanned in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Here's our health | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
correspondent, David Fenton. Peter Cummings has an aortic | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
aneurysm that you can see here. The artery has bulged out by a few | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
millimetres and is being measured by ultrasound. | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
I measure the aorta, measure the diameter, most are a normal size. | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
Occasionally we can see it widening on the screen and we measure it at | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
its widest point. The scans are simple and quick and | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
take just take -- ten minutes. They could save many lives. Colin needed | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
major surgery after his ultrasound detected a potentially | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
life-threatening aneurysm. It has been likened to living with a | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
ticking time bomb. Obviously you are unaware of it, but once you know you | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
have the condition it is very difficult to live with that | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
knowledge. Colin is now fine. one of thousands of men who has been | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
screened in the last two years. Using ultrasound to spot aneurysms | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
was pioneered in Chichester more than ten years ago but recent pilot | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
studies in Hampshire, West Sussex and across Dorset have helped prove | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
its worth. Rupture of an aneurysm can be catastrophic. For the | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
screening programme to be a success we want to see 80% of the men we | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
went it -- invite come to the clinic and have the screening done. In the | :07:24. | :07:31. | |
first year we had 79%, and the second 83%, and there is every | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
indication this year we will see even more. The scans cost the NHS | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
�27. The pilot scheme was so successful it is being rolled out | :07:40. | :07:50. | |
:07:50. | :07:56. | ||
nationally where it is hoped it "People will die, ships will be | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
lost, that's the deal. Go to it." The words of Admiral Sir Sandy | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
Woodward, leader of the Falklands Task Force, who has died at the age | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
of 81. Today the Prime Minister was among those paying tribute. Admiral | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
Woodward, from Bosham, was a naval leader known for his strong opinions | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
and who commanded respect from sailors, politicians and the public. | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
Chris Robinson reports. Portsmouth in 1982 - the naval Task | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
Force setting off on its 8,000 mile journey to the South Atlantic. The | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
Royal Navy's front-line commander, Sandy Woodward. Was a man of blunt | :08:22. | :08:32. | |
:08:32. | :08:35. | ||
words who could get the job done. I remember him saying it will not be | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
easy, we will not give up and if I don't make a mistake most of us will | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
get home. I thought that was very honest. | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
Born John Foster Woodward, but known to all as Sandy, he joined the Royal | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
Navy aged 13 and later became a submarine commander before taking | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
leadership of the Task Force. He was praised for his powerful and | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
clear command, the Prime Minister describing him as a truly courageous | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
and decisive leader. Retired Rear-Admiral Chris Parry was park of | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
the initial Task Force. He remembers a man of strong opinions. | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
I don't think he was everybody's cup of tea, he was not that | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
approachable, he was very distant at times and did not suffer fools | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
gladly. In fact, I would say he did not suffer people gladly. But what | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
we have to say is that he won the war. He made all the right | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
decisions, he took the risks come out when the political pressure was | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
really one he was able to withstand it and went through to the end. -- | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
when the pressure was really on. was Admiral Woodward who wanted to | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
torpedo the Argentine ship the Belgrano because of the threat he | :09:36. | :09:43. | |
believed it posed to British forces, Even after his retirement, Admiral | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
Woodward remained one of the Navy's greatest advocates. | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
He spoke of his fears relating to cuts. | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
If you lower your guard, people will think they can get away with it. If | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
the new carriers don't come forward the Navy will be completely | :09:59. | :10:08. | |
different from what it was in 1982, markedly less capable. | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
Tributes in remembering Admiral Sandy Woodward, who has died. | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
Still to come this evening, much-needed rain for the gardens, is | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
there more on the way? We have had intense rainfall today, | :10:23. | :10:33. | |
:10:33. | :10:42. | ||
but the week is not a wash-out. We signed a �37 million technology deal | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
with BT to link up their computer systems. Surrey, Hampshire and | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
Thames Valley say it will save them money by combining their spending | :10:48. | :10:56. | |
power. As budgets get squeezed, many public bodies are bulk buying. But | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
councils are also facing calls to spend more of their money with small | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
firms in their area. So do they go for the discount, or shop local? | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
Here's our political editor, Peter Henley. | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
Salisbury's historic Guildhall, and in front of shining white granite | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
pedestrian area. The whole of the marketplace is being resurfaced at a | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
cost of �3.2 million with stolen from China. When restaurant owner | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
Steve went how far they had gone to get the granite he could not believe | :11:23. | :11:31. | |
We have a quarry 40 miles down the road in one direction and the | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
Cotswolds and the other direction, why not use local store and two the | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
initial cobbles were changed after complaints from the use -- disabled | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
users. What is wrong with tarmac? To bring | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
all this stone from China is ridiculous. It may be cheaper but it | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
is public money, it should be supporting British jobs. The Chinese | :11:55. | :12:02. | |
granite is a far cry from the sandstone Salisbury is used to. | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
Designers felt it would be too soft to last. The council says they | :12:08. | :12:17. | |
usually use businesses in Wiltshire, has been looking into why local | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
firms are not able to get orders from the councils and have | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
discovered it is not just down to cost. Local authorities in | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
particular seem to use config you did tendering processes that small | :12:28. | :12:35. | |
businesses cannot afford to go through. -- seem to use complicated | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
tendering processes. In Surrey, they have switched from | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
single contract is to managing a panel of local suppliers. | :12:41. | :12:48. | |
The question is whether it will cost more in the long run or less. | :12:48. | :12:55. | |
Peter is with me now. We all love a discount, clearly councils do, too. | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
It is worth checking those costs. The National Audit Office was | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
working out how much is spent on different things. For example, a | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
pack of paper -1 council was paying �6, another was being �14 for the | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
same thing. Economies of scale can bring big benefits, as we saw with | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
that reduction in a massive phone bill, �37 million over seven years. | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
But BT, they felt, was the only company they felt could deliver that | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
economy of scale. Where does that leave smaller companies who could | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
really do with a bit of help at the moment? And do you have any -- | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
hidden costs? That Chinese granite - if it puts a few tourists off | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
visiting Salisbury because it doesn't feel it is the place they | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
want, you have lost money. You have to square the circle, because you | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
have to get value for money but you also have to help the local economy. | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
It is possible to do both? Probably, if you rewrite the contracts. | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
Great things into smaller chunks, don't make small businesses run | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
through the same it's as big ones for tendering, because they cannot | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
do it the same way. Surrey county council has been doing this by | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
offering a package of smaller contracts rather than just one big | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
one. And Hampshire gets local schools to have local apple juice, | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
and maybe that saves money along the line. If you spend it locally, the | :14:19. | :14:29. | |
:14:29. | :14:29. | ||
money stays in the local area and maybe costs are lower in the future. | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
A man has been charged following a stabbing in Reading on Wednesday. | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
21-year-old Justin Tyler, of no fixed address, is charged with | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
wounding with intent. It is in connection with an incident in Gun | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
Street, where a 23-year-old man was seriously injured. Four other people | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
have been released on police bail. ? A teenager from Gosport has pleaded | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
guilty for his part in an attack which put a man in a coma after he | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
asked a group of youths to stop making noise outside his flat. | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
19-year-old Brandon Fisher, of Old Road in Gosport, admitted unlawful | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
wounding at Portsmouth Crown Court today. The attack on Andrew Toseland | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
in August last year left the 49-year-old from Forton Road unable | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
to walk and needing care for the rest of his life. Fisher will be | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
sentenced next month. Samuel on Strong, who carried out the assault, | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
will also be sentenced. -- Armstrong. | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
Parents with children at the Stanbridge Earls School near Romsey | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
have been told the school should open in September, despite the | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
failure to secure a takeover. The school has faced huge criticisms | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
since a tribunal found it failed to protect a girl who says she was | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
raped by a fellow pupil. The BBC has seen a letter to parents today in | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
which the headteacher stressed that if a takeover can't be reached the | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
school will have to close. Customers of South East Water are | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
being asked how they would like to use technology to communicate with | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
the company. The firm wants to know if people would use live web-chats, | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
smart phones or social media to get hold of information about their | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
water supply. The survey also asks customers how they would like bill | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
increases and decreases to be It has been called a national | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
treasure, but to what extent should the modern world be allow to intrude | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
on the New Forest? The National Park Authority is examining how to | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
protect the traditional look and feel of the area. New guidelines | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
have been published to advise on everything from the type of fencing | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
home owners should use, to the length of grass in a paddock. But, | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
as Ed Sherry reports, some are worried that recommendations could | :16:18. | :16:25. | |
This panorama near Hyde shows exactly what is unique about the New | :16:25. | :16:35. | |
:16:35. | :16:39. | ||
Forest, and why everyone agrees it Voice is a New Forest campaign group | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
with over 400 members. It is down to personal choice. I really don't | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
think the national park authority have any business telling people | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
what they can or can't have in their dwelling. It is not fear and it is | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
not right. -- it is not fair. Some want more done. Like Bill Dow, | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
who has been a local councillor for 30 years. | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
We are able to enjoy it ourselves, but I would love to think that is | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
going to be here for many generations to come. We are only | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
custodians, we're looking after it for future people to come here and | :17:12. | :17:19. | |
get enjoyment from it. This has echoes of a much wider row | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
in 2008, when more detailed planning documents covering a wider range of | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
issues were first published. This action plan covers everything from | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
tidying up road signs and verges to placing litter bins in wooden boxes. | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
It is private properties that prove a sticking point. Home owners are | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
advised to install sympathetic boundaries, like this hedge, and | :17:35. | :17:42. | |
avoid large panels, iron gates or lighting in front gardens. | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
We cannot stop people putting up fences or security lights, they can | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
do all of that without planning permission. These are not planning | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
documents, they are advisory committee 's guidance. If you look | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
behind me you can see some buildings fronting onto the open forest. The | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
hedgerows, those are the sorts of things we are suggesting should be | :18:01. | :18:08. | |
kept, rather than replaced with boarded fencing. | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
In sport, Cowes Week is the world's largest sailing regatta, thousands | :18:15. | :18:22. | |
take part. This evening, it is looking very becalmed behind you. A | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
little flattering of the flags, but it has been lively today. How were | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
your sea legs? I am fine, don't worry about that. I | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
don't do too much sailing, but in the Olympics, going out on those | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
ribs every day, it gets you used to the feel of sailing. I will tell you | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
more this evening as it goes on. It is pretty calm now, there was a lot | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
of rain earlier today, that was the main issue, rather than the swell | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
and choppy water. Let's talk about the football, it was the first | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
weekend of the football league this weekend. I want to show you an image | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
which was really powerful from Saturday. This is Fratton park and | :19:06. | :19:06. | |
Saturday. This is Fratton park and Saturday. This is Fratton park and | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
it is after Portsmouth | :19:09. | :19:15. | |
Portsmouth fans finally declaring the club is ours. Pompey is in the | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
hands of the fans. What did we learn from this first weekend in the | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
football league? If you are of Pompey fine, probably quite a bit. | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
Some fans arrived five hours before kick-off, such was the anticipation | :19:29. | :19:36. | |
of a new dawn at the club know owned by fans. | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
-- now owned. Promotion from league two will not be a formality. In the | :19:41. | :19:47. | |
space of four minutes, Oxford pounded around with goals from Deane | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
Smalley and Alfie Potter. It got worse for Pompey with the | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
captain seeing red. Pompey's capital one cup opponents | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
tomorrow began their campaign with a win. This thunderbolt was the winner | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
against Charlton. The boss was delighted but hinted he needs more | :20:07. | :20:16. | |
firepower up front with only three recognised strikers. | :20:16. | :20:25. | |
Former Reading favourite Tabb never scored but it only took six team | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
minutes to do so for Ipswich. This strike came from Danny Guthrie. It | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
was the first time Reading have won their opening fixture in seven | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
years. Hopes are high they can bounce straight back to the Premier | :20:37. | :20:47. | |
:20:47. | :20:49. | ||
League. the big cricket story of the day is | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
England retaining the Ashes. Domestically in the County | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
championship game, Sussex were beaten by Derbyshire over three | :20:56. | :21:03. | |
days. Hampshire and Glamorgan drew, that match notable for Michael | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
Carberry passing the 10,000 first class runs mark. In the Gulf at the | :21:09. | :21:16. | |
weekend, a great result for the Bournemouth amateur, Georgia Hall, | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
who finished joint leading amateur with New Zealand's Lydia Ko. There | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
was a mix-up for the trophy presentation and it meant the New | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
Zealander was the only amateur to attend. They believed the Kiwi had | :21:28. | :21:38. | |
:21:38. | :21:38. | ||
beating Georgia to the silver -- the Smyth Salver Medal. Both finished | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
six over par but the Dorset golfer carded a higher final round. It is | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
the first time the amateur prize has been shared for 20 years. | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
She is going to keep getting better, I am sure, another good result for | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
Georgia. It is day three of Cowes Week, more about the rain than | :21:55. | :22:04. | |
:22:05. | :22:09. | ||
anything else. This year Cowes Week has chosen charity, and it is Toe In | :22:09. | :22:18. | |
The Water which I find out more about this morning. | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
Facing up to adverse weather does not frighten these sailors much. | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
Many of them have gone through advert is -- adversity already. | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
These are the crews of Toe In The Water. Many are service personnel | :22:30. | :22:37. | |
who have suffered profound and, Dick injuries on duty. Each has their own | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
-- profound and traumatic injuries. This man lost an eye and personal | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
use -- partial use of his arm after being hit by a sniper in | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
Afghanistan. I was a fully fit soldier, then to not being able to | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
do any infantry, it moralise is you. Since my injury I have basically | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
become nothing. Now I know I can do this. | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
Jack sealed for the first time last week. Toe In The Water in its final | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
year as official charity has now -- helped more than 150 service | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
personnel like him. Sailing brings all of the qualities these men were | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
trained for, discipline, teamwork and winning, of course. They call it | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
rehabilitation by stealth. Among the servicemen, Paddy Gallagher, who had | :23:25. | :23:32. | |
colourful toes to dip in the Watt, and insight into the camaraderie. | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
I stood on an IED and lost my right leg of the -- below the knee. You | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
just take it and crack on with it, don't you? Sailing means I can live | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
a normal life, I could -- just walking to the shops. | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
I can do it because I know I have been your ceiling. The boats raced | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
to fourth and seventh place finishes in challenging conditions. It was | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
wet this morning, you would not believe it now. A couple of things | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
also happened today at Cowes Week, Princess Anne was here earlier | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
visiting the headquarters. She also paid a visit to the classic boat | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
Museum in East Cowes. Among those meeting the Princess was Shirley | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
Robertson, the Isle of Wight's Olympic gold medallist. In the last | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
hour we have had an interesting challenge. Look at these pictures. | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
This was a speed test challenge. It involved Olympians Paul Goodison and | :24:29. | :24:36. | |
Nick Dempsey along with Alex Thomson and it was all about a challenge | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
between kite surfers, windsurfers, big boards and small boats, and Alex | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
Thomson was the winner. We have almost made it back to dry land and | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
it is prize-giving time. You really are getting into the | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
swing of Cowes already and it is only Monday. Talk to you tomorrow, | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
thank you very much. Onto the weather, a bit of rain. It is a good | :24:59. | :25:05. | |
job it wasn't the new Forest show this week. No, we had 11 millimetres | :25:05. | :25:12. | |
in one hour, almost half an inch. in one hour, almost half an inch. | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
They were brighter skies, as well. Cowes this morning, crews waiting to | :25:14. | :25:24. | |
:25:24. | :25:31. | ||
start the day, thank you to blame it is clearing away and tonight | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
becoming drier and cooler than recent nights as well. We will start | :25:36. | :25:43. | |
to see a fresher failed to things. -- fresher feel. We had quite a bit | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
of rain working in from the west, some yellows and greens, vivid | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
colours showing where the heaviest downpours were. That is moving north | :25:52. | :25:59. | |
of the M4 corridor. This evening things drying out. It is moving away | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
courtesy of this area of low pressure cracking out and we will | :26:03. | :26:11. | |
see drier clearer conditions to follow through tonight. Once the | :26:11. | :26:13. | |
showers moved northwards we will see cloud for a time, skies eventually | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
clearing, some missed Michael in the picture with wind dropping | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
overnight, temperatures more fresh than recent nights with 11 Celsius, | :26:24. | :26:32. | |
maybe single figures in rural parts of Oxfordshire. Tomorrow there will | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
be some sunny breaks, cloud bubbling up by the afternoon, we do not rule | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
out the chance of showers but most will enjoy and Friday with one | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
sunshine, temperatures 21, 20 two Celsius, feeling pleasant through | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
the day. Tomorrow night, staying generally fine, maybe one or two | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
showers in the mix, but most will have a dry night. Temperatures in | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
the mid teens for most of us. On Wednesday, another fine and bright | :26:58. | :27:08. | |
:27:08. | :27:14. | ||
day, some decent sunny breaks. In the afternoon there is more chance | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
of catching one or two showers, but for the most part another fine and | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
dry day. A similar picture for Thursday, two, the morning in | :27:19. | :27:21. | |
particular having decent sunny breaks. Friday, a little bit of a | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
change with a weak front working in, some showers are arriving, but not | :27:24. | :27:30. | |
bad after today's brain. The gardens were happy and it is more cool and | :27:30. | :27:33. |
