:00:04. > :00:08.Hello I'm Alex Forsyth. Welcome to South Today.
:00:08. > :00:12.In tonight's programme: He's helped the USA win it — can Sir Ben Ainslie
:00:12. > :00:19.now lead an all—British team in the America's Cup?
:00:19. > :00:22.I think it's a question of getting behind him. If anyone can do it, he
:00:22. > :00:25.can. A rescue mission to save these
:00:25. > :00:32.starving horses, left to fend for themselves in a Hampshire field.
:00:33. > :00:36.We found one or two that are absolutely shocking. It's as bad as
:00:37. > :00:40.I have seen it anywhere else. It's really troubling for those horses.
:00:40. > :00:43.May struggle to pull them through. How Africans are using mobile phone
:00:43. > :00:47.technology developed here in the South as a mobile bank.
:00:47. > :01:01.And the romance that broke the rules aboard a great liner, but continues
:01:01. > :01:05.to blossom today. He's just won the America's Cup with
:01:05. > :01:08.an American team — and already the Hampshire yachtsman Sir Ben Ainslie
:01:08. > :01:12.is aiming to put together an all—British team to win it again.
:01:12. > :01:15.The Lymington sailor made history onboard the American yacht Oracle
:01:15. > :01:20.last night — he played a pivotal role in winning the Cup in San
:01:20. > :01:24.Francisco. The competition first took place off the Isle of Wight in
:01:24. > :01:30.1851, but it's never been won by Britain. Tom Hepworth reports.
:01:31. > :01:33.Sailing in the America's cup has traditionally been the sport of
:01:33. > :01:37.millionaires, but nowadays it's the preserve of billionaires. The huge
:01:37. > :01:40.AC72 boats can reach speeds of up to 50 miles an hour, but funding a
:01:40. > :01:43.challenge is also a massive undertaking, the Emirates New
:01:43. > :01:51.Zealand team even had to have government help.
:01:51. > :01:55.The New Zealand government put $60 million into this. They reckoned it
:01:55. > :02:01.was worth it. Economy would have by millions.
:02:01. > :02:05.If there's someone willing to take the financial plunge, it is a lot of
:02:05. > :02:08.money, and if you don't think you're about to win it,
:02:08. > :02:13.money, and if you don't think you're don't get read by accident. Now we
:02:13. > :02:16.have absolutely got the sailors who have been there at the top of the
:02:16. > :02:19.fleet. We have got someone who has won it, so the possibilities become
:02:19. > :02:23.more realistic now. Ben Ainslie has been sponsored by
:02:23. > :02:26.the bank JP Morgan since 2006 and he's currently in discussions with
:02:26. > :02:32.financial backers to put together a British challenge.
:02:32. > :02:36.We need the support obviously, and I hope that this event has opened
:02:36. > :02:39.people's eyes to what is possible and the fact that we have some great
:02:39. > :02:44.British sailors out there. The America's Cup started in the UK in
:02:44. > :02:46.1851. We have never won it, it's about time we changed that.
:02:46. > :02:50.Colleagues back in Lymington are confident he has all it takes to see
:02:50. > :02:54.it through. Once you step out of the dinghy,
:02:54. > :02:59.Olympic side of things, one man boats, and you step up to the big
:02:59. > :03:04.boats, the full team racing, it is all about the America's Cup. This is
:03:04. > :03:11.the next green. And particularly to have a British team. Have already
:03:11. > :03:15.won it, what an exceptional opportunity to have, and how well it
:03:15. > :03:18.worked out, as well. A British challenge will need the
:03:18. > :03:22.technology and know—how to build state of the art racing boasts, it's
:03:22. > :03:26.something we already have in the south. Green Marine are building the
:03:26. > :03:35.fleet for the Volvo ocean race in Hythe right now A British team has
:03:35. > :03:40.never won the America's Cup. It's absolutely possible. We do it
:03:40. > :03:43.every day. The boards are so close to the requirements of the
:03:43. > :03:45.aeronautical industry and the standards we have to build two are
:03:46. > :03:50.exactly the same. You can do this tomorrow?
:03:50. > :03:54.We love to do this tomorrow. You've not had a call from Ben
:03:54. > :03:56.Ainslie yet? I imagine he's recovering, but we'd
:03:56. > :04:00.love to hear from him. It's a big if, but if Ben Ainslie
:04:00. > :04:08.can assemble a winning team, that would surely eclipse his Olympic
:04:08. > :04:14.achievements. Tom is here with me now. How viable
:04:14. > :04:17.is this? There is no reason why it
:04:17. > :04:22.shouldn't. We got the technical expertise, we certainly have the
:04:22. > :04:25.sailors. The money? Well that's the hundred million dollar question
:04:25. > :04:29.isn't it? Because that's how much it costs to develop these huge AC72
:04:29. > :04:32.boats. The America's Cup is unique in that the holder decides when and
:04:32. > :04:36.where the next competition will be held, the format and the type of
:04:36. > :04:39.boat used. Larry Ellison, the man who bankrolled Oracle Team USA has
:04:39. > :04:42.said he will make it less expensive, to encourage more teams to enter the
:04:42. > :04:46.preliminary challenger round. That is where any British challenge would
:04:46. > :04:50.have to start. We've spoken to one man who could assemble the financial
:04:50. > :04:53.muscle behind a British attempt. Sir Keith Mills put together team origin
:04:53. > :04:57.in 2007 to challenge for this America's Cup, but had to abandon
:04:57. > :05:04.his plans when it was announced the huge AC72 catamarans would be used.
:05:05. > :05:12.He's waiting to see if the holders will change the format again.
:05:12. > :05:16.Until we have that information, it's difficult for us to press the
:05:16. > :05:19.button, but I know that talking to Ben, if there is a viable cup
:05:19. > :05:21.competition, then we will have the British team and will be led by
:05:21. > :05:26.then. He's seeing Ben next week. So what
:05:26. > :05:33.are the chances of getting a team together and, dare we say it,
:05:33. > :05:36.winning the auld mug? We are as a nation in the best
:05:36. > :05:40.possible position we have ever been in. We have some great sailors, led
:05:41. > :05:44.by Ben, we have some great designers. We have the know—how and
:05:44. > :05:47.we know how to stage big events. I was involved in organising the
:05:47. > :05:51.London Olympic Games last year. And I to do these things with the well,
:05:51. > :05:56.we just need a fair competition that is commercially viable.
:05:56. > :05:59.At the moment, the Americans hold all the aces. The have to wait and
:06:00. > :06:04.see what format the next America's Cup competition will take, when we
:06:04. > :06:12.know that we may find out more about a potential British attempt.
:06:12. > :06:16.A man and woman from Poole have been arrested after a security guard was
:06:16. > :06:17.run over trying to stop a suspected shoplifter.
:06:17. > :06:20.It happened at Tesco's Fishbourne Road store in Chichester last
:06:20. > :06:24.Thursday. A woman suspected of stealing left the shop and got into
:06:24. > :06:28.a Volkswagen Passat. The guard stood in front it — but the male drove at
:06:28. > :06:31.him. He was carried 20 metres on the car's bonnet before falling off.
:06:31. > :06:34.Sussex Police are appealing for witnesses.
:06:34. > :06:37.45 starving horses have been rescued from a field near Alton in
:06:37. > :06:39.Hampshire. The RSPCA and specialists from Redwings Horse Sanctuary
:06:39. > :06:43.carried out the operation this morning. They took action after
:06:43. > :06:48.members of the public alerted them to the animals' plight. A number
:06:48. > :06:55.were described as being close to death. Jo Kent reports.
:06:55. > :07:03.Rounding them up was easy. Food was all it took. For these falls, a
:07:03. > :07:07.first taste of hay. Neglect is evident in visible bones, matted
:07:07. > :07:12.mains and untrimmed hooves. Holes in fences allowed many to get onto
:07:12. > :07:16.roads. In six months, police had taken 120 calls about people
:07:16. > :07:20.concerned for their welfare. The horses have been escaping during
:07:20. > :07:22.the summer, presumably to get more food because there was inadequate
:07:22. > :07:25.grazing here. Gap and monitoring them since July, and they have
:07:25. > :07:30.noticeably gone down in condition. Enough is enough. We are
:07:30. > :07:32.investigating and hopefully prosecuting the people who own
:07:32. > :07:37.them. The man who rented the field is
:07:37. > :07:44.currently in prison, band from keeping horses.
:07:44. > :07:47.All of the horses have now been rounded up and are currently being
:07:48. > :07:51.catalogued and assessed. A couple had been judged as being critically
:07:51. > :07:54.ill. We found one or two that are
:07:54. > :07:58.absolutely shocking. It's as bad as I have seen anywhere else. It's
:07:58. > :08:02.really troubling for those horses and we may struggle to pull them
:08:02. > :08:06.through. It is a fairly classic picture that when animals are
:08:06. > :08:08.neglected they are then prone to the kind of diseases that other robust,
:08:08. > :08:13.well fed animals might be able to fight off. When they start to go
:08:13. > :08:17.downhill, parasites and bacteria take advantage.
:08:17. > :08:22.The most serious cases will be treated by vets at Red Wings
:08:22. > :08:26.century. The rest are off to livery yard. Looking after them could cost
:08:26. > :08:30.the charities hundreds of thousands of pounds. It is hoped they will be
:08:30. > :08:35.re—homed, though in the current economic climate, homes are in short
:08:35. > :08:41.supply. But they will be cared for, and willingly went into the lorries
:08:41. > :08:44.taking them to a better life. The last of the Royal Navy's new
:08:44. > :08:47.billion pound destroyers was welcomed into the fleet in
:08:47. > :08:50.Portsmouth today. HMS Duncan is the sixth Type 45 destroyer in her
:08:50. > :08:53.class, the most advanced warships the Navy has ever had. Major
:08:53. > :08:59.sections of the vessels have been built in Portsmouth. But the future
:08:59. > :09:06.of shipbuilding in the city is still uncertain. Steve Humphrey reports.
:09:06. > :09:12.Today HMS Duncan became the newest ship in the fleet. Packed with
:09:12. > :09:18.cutting—edge technology and a powerful missile system, she has
:09:19. > :09:23.cost taxpayers around £1 billion. I'm lost for words. It is so big.
:09:23. > :09:26.Everyone is so friendly. Since I have joined, since I am the youngest
:09:26. > :09:30.person, everyone has really looked after me.
:09:30. > :09:33.The job of the new destroyers is to defend British forces from air
:09:33. > :09:42.attacks. But they will also have a wide range of other roles.
:09:42. > :09:47.BV Royal marines or army, to support other forces.
:09:47. > :09:50.Amongst the crew is one sailor who served on the previous HMS Duncan
:09:51. > :09:59.which was in service from 1957 to 1985 and stop this ship is probably
:09:59. > :10:01.the Ferrari of the seas. Perhaps the old Duncan would have
:10:01. > :10:07.been a Morris Minor. Something like that.
:10:07. > :10:11.Major sections of all six of a new destroyers were built in Portsmouth,
:10:11. > :10:15.where workers are now busy for parts of the Navy's new aircraft carriers.
:10:16. > :10:19.Chips will continue to be based and maintained in Portsmouth, but there
:10:19. > :10:25.is it? Over the long—term future of shipbuilding. BAE Systems is
:10:25. > :10:28.currently reviewing the future of its facilities in Portsmouth and in
:10:28. > :10:33.Scotland. Originally there were going to be 12
:10:33. > :10:40.of these type 45 destroyers, but eventually that was reduced to six
:10:40. > :10:48.because of financial pressures. HMS Duncan is due to undertake her first
:10:48. > :10:51.operational deployment next year. The Government has re—started the
:10:51. > :10:53.process of creating the country's largest rail franchise.
:10:53. > :10:56.It wants to combine the areas covered by Southern Railway and
:10:56. > :11:00.Thameslink, which is currently run by First Capital Connect. The new
:11:00. > :11:11.franchise will carry one in five of all passengers.
:11:11. > :11:15.Still to come in this evening's South Today: Nikki Mitchell is live
:11:15. > :11:18.at Fratton Park for a World Cup qualifier.
:11:18. > :11:22.England's women are going through their warm up routine head of the
:11:22. > :11:33.match against Turkey, after giving Belarus eight six nil thrashing on
:11:33. > :11:36.Saturday. A small research team in Southampton
:11:36. > :11:38.has been given nearly £60,000 to study the early stages of
:11:38. > :11:42.Alzheimer's Disease. The team — a doctor and research
:11:42. > :11:45.student — will try to pinpoint exactly what happens in the brain
:11:45. > :11:48.when the disease starts. With research projects often costing
:11:48. > :11:57.millions of pounds — our Health Correspondent David Fenton went to
:11:57. > :12:00.see what they hope to achieve. This is Sarmi Sri. For the next
:12:00. > :12:03.three years she'll be studying memory loss in mice, genetically
:12:03. > :12:10.bred to mimic the signs of Alzheimer's disease.
:12:10. > :12:14.We will be checking at what time point they start to display signs
:12:14. > :12:17.and then looking at further detail to see what is happening in the
:12:17. > :12:19.brain to see where it is going wrong.
:12:19. > :12:22.And this is what she'll be looking for. These tangled shapes are
:12:22. > :12:25.amyloid proteins, known to play an important part in the development of
:12:25. > :12:31.dementia. These are at an advanced stage. But Sami and her mentor are
:12:31. > :12:34.investigating the very beginnings of the disease, to pinpoint exactly
:12:34. > :12:39.when and why the brain stops making new memories. This is a small
:12:39. > :12:42.research project — the £58,000 is just a drop in the ocean compared to
:12:42. > :12:53.£50 million spent on dementia research every year, so what are
:12:53. > :12:56.they hoping to achieve? We understand a lot more about
:12:56. > :12:59.Alzheimer's disease right now, however, we still don't have each
:12:59. > :13:02.year, and we believe that is because we know a lot about how the disease
:13:03. > :13:07.ends, but we don't understand how the disease begins. Our research
:13:07. > :13:10.project is exactly about that. But can small scale projects like
:13:10. > :13:17.this one tell us anything we don't already know?
:13:17. > :13:20.In science, I think it is often the studies that you don't expect to
:13:20. > :13:25.yield results that do, and for that reason we shouldn't disregard small
:13:25. > :13:27.funding and small, innovative projects, because they could be the
:13:27. > :13:29.projects that hold real potential for the future.
:13:30. > :13:41.Whatever the outcome, work on the new project, begins on Monday.
:13:41. > :13:44.The Solent and Portland coastguard stations will close next September.
:13:44. > :13:46.The Maritime and Coastguard Agency says the stations, which co—ordinate
:13:46. > :13:49.search and rescue services, are being replaced by the operations
:13:49. > :13:53.centre in Segensworth in Hampshire. That will be run alongside nine
:13:53. > :13:56.other 24—hour centres in the UK. The majority of staff from the Solent
:13:56. > :14:04.and Portland stations are expected to move to the new site.
:14:04. > :14:06.Now, how would you fancy paying for your shopping, or clearing your
:14:06. > :14:09.electricity bill, using a text message? Well, sending money using
:14:09. > :14:13.your mobile phone is only just starting to take off in the UK. But
:14:13. > :14:17.in Africa, it's already used by millions. The service allows people
:14:17. > :14:21.in remote areas to send money to shops and business without using
:14:21. > :14:24.cash, or having to go to a bank. And companies based right here in the
:14:24. > :14:32.South have played a significant part in its development. Rob Powell has
:14:32. > :14:40.the story. A town in Tanzania 200 miles in
:14:40. > :14:42.lined from Dar es Salaam. Even in this relatively remote area, the
:14:42. > :14:46.streets are lined with stories that will let you if you're shopping in
:14:46. > :14:52.just a few keystrokes using your phone. Mobile services like this
:14:52. > :14:58.give the benefits of the bank account. Thousands of high street
:14:58. > :15:04.agents like these will let you top up or money that are to accounts on
:15:04. > :15:14.your mobile. This lady uses it to pay her bills.
:15:14. > :15:19.Translation TRANSLATION: You can pay anyone with it at any time. If I'm
:15:19. > :15:22.at home and have a bill today, but something happens, I can still pay
:15:22. > :15:26.whoever it is and get on with my life.
:15:26. > :15:29.Payment by Mobile has proved popular in Africa because, while most people
:15:29. > :15:35.have mobile phones, few have bank accounts. And in the modern areas,
:15:35. > :15:40.ATMs and bank branches are scarce. Some of the roots of this African
:15:40. > :15:45.technology like year in Berkshire and Vodafone's HQ. In 2007 they
:15:45. > :16:02.launched a payment system in tenure. —— in tenure. —— in Kenya.
:16:02. > :16:06.Simon bachelor works for a firm that looked at phone use in Africa for
:16:06. > :16:08.the British government in 2002. They spotted that Africans were using
:16:09. > :16:12.mobile phone top—up vouchers to transfer money.
:16:12. > :16:16.They were buying their airtime in the capital city and scratching it
:16:16. > :16:23.off to get their code, and instead of putting the accord on their own
:16:23. > :16:26.phone, DirectX ten that called to relatives in other countries who
:16:26. > :16:31.then either put it on their phone or soldered onto the merchant. It was
:16:31. > :16:35.effectively a way of transferring money very quickly, instantly, and
:16:35. > :16:38.very conveniently. While payment by mobile has boomed
:16:38. > :16:43.in Africa, it is still relatively rare in this country.
:16:43. > :16:49.People are scared of the security and are scared of changing from what
:16:49. > :16:54.they know and can rely on. Their chip and pin and so on. They don't
:16:54. > :17:00.want to change to something new that is untried and untested.
:17:00. > :17:04.Our allegiance may currently still lie with our card, but it may not be
:17:04. > :17:12.long before we catch up with our African cousins.
:17:12. > :17:15.In the next hour, England's women footballers will kick off their
:17:15. > :17:17.second World Cup qualifier in Portsmouth. They made an impressive
:17:17. > :17:20.start last weekend in Bournemouth, beating Belarus 6—0. Tonight they're
:17:20. > :17:30.up against Turkey. Nikki Mitchell is at Fratton Park for us ahead of all
:17:30. > :17:33.the action. England have been training on the
:17:33. > :17:37.pitch for about half an hour. Turkey are training at the other end.
:17:37. > :17:42.Turkey are little further down the world ranking table than Belarus, so
:17:42. > :17:46.there is optimism here tonight after such a positive opening game. But
:17:46. > :17:51.England have had a tough year. They were eliminated from the group
:17:51. > :17:58.stages of Euro 2013 after their worst performance beer in Europe for
:17:58. > :18:03.12 years. That led to the sacking of their long—standing manager, Hope I
:18:03. > :18:09.will. So tonight England still have a lot to prove.
:18:09. > :18:14.The 6000 spectators didn't have to wait long for a goal in Saturday's
:18:14. > :18:18.qualifier. By the end of the first half, there was a hat—trick. And by
:18:18. > :18:26.the end of the second, Belarus had been thrashed six nil. Caretaker
:18:26. > :18:29.manager Brent Hills was pleased with an energetic performance, but wants
:18:29. > :18:33.to see more improvement throughout the qualifiers.
:18:34. > :18:37.Energy and temple was important, and we spoke about that last week. We
:18:37. > :18:42.have to maintain that. Consistency is a big thing. And we have to keep
:18:42. > :18:45.developing our composure when we have possession.
:18:45. > :18:49.The lionesses had a final pre—match training session yesterday, but this
:18:49. > :18:53.week have still found time to spread the word about the women's game in
:18:53. > :19:04.Portsmouth, hitting a primary school and meeting some fellow female
:19:04. > :19:14.players claim for the Navy. Here they are very much up against a
:19:14. > :19:21.home crowd. Among the crowd, are commentary team. How confident are
:19:21. > :19:24.you, watching them train? They had a really good start on
:19:24. > :19:27.Saturday against Belarus for the World Cup qualifying game, you
:19:27. > :19:31.mentioned that Turkey are lower than Belarus, and the one that Game six
:19:31. > :19:35.nil, but last time we played them back in 2010 in the last time
:19:35. > :19:42.campaign, we beat them three nil, so we are expecting to beat the likes
:19:42. > :19:45.of Turkey and Belarus. But it is about the performance and obviously
:19:45. > :19:49.hoping we can get those three points.
:19:49. > :19:58.How much was the confidence knocked by losing Hope Powell?
:19:58. > :20:03.It wasn't the team I know, none of them really performed, and that led
:20:03. > :20:08.to Hope being sacked. There is maybe a new year. She was in charge for 15
:20:08. > :20:12.years. We want to show what they can do on this stage and in these
:20:12. > :20:16.qualifying games. How much has the women's game moved
:20:16. > :20:20.on in the last 20 years since the FA to get under their wing?
:20:20. > :20:25.Massively. It is very different from when I started when I was 16. We
:20:25. > :20:29.have over a quarter of a million girls playing regularly in leagues,
:20:29. > :20:32.and over 1 million having some sort of experience of playing, so it is
:20:32. > :20:38.really good. Thank you. Fey is part of the
:20:38. > :20:48.commentary team on BBC Three tonight. The kick—off is at 7:05pm.
:20:48. > :20:51.A couple of other items of soccer news: Reading have signed the
:20:51. > :20:54.Southampton striker Billy Sharp on emergency loan. Sharp, who's 27,
:20:54. > :20:57.will go straight into the Royals' team to play Birmingham City this
:20:57. > :21:00.weekend. It's the third different club he's played for when Nigel
:21:00. > :21:02.Adkins has been their manager. Saints themselves meanwhile have
:21:03. > :21:06.been given an away draw in the fourth round of the Capital One Cup.
:21:06. > :21:08.After beating Bristol City on Tuesday, they'll play Sunderland,
:21:08. > :21:22.who're currently bottom of the Premier League.
:21:22. > :21:27.It is 75 years this week since one of the most famous liners was named.
:21:27. > :21:40.Queen Elizabeth was named by Queen Elizabeth. We have been looking back
:21:41. > :21:55.at the Queen Elizabeth with the help of some recently discovered film
:21:55. > :22:03.footage. This often mellow voice of the Queen
:22:03. > :22:07.bids into singing words. It is like the inception of all
:22:07. > :22:11.great human enterprises. She was meant to sail to
:22:11. > :22:14.Southampton. But the Second World War intervened and she headed
:22:14. > :22:18.straight from the shipyard to New York.
:22:18. > :22:20.She heads for the New World. She finally entered passenger
:22:20. > :22:26.service for Cunard from Southampton in 1946.
:22:26. > :22:28.She is once again Queen of the Atlantic.
:22:28. > :22:35.Bernie Webb from Southampton was a 14—year—old bellboy.
:22:35. > :22:39.One of the youngest bellboy is on the ship. We were fortunate to be
:22:39. > :22:45.there, because there was good food, plenty of money. The accommodation
:22:45. > :22:49.was nothing to rave about. Here is he with another young
:22:49. > :22:55.steward. On the right, that's John Prescott, who became Deputy Prime
:22:55. > :22:56.Minister. We had come from poverty into
:22:56. > :23:00.luxury. 20 years later, working as a steward
:23:00. > :23:03.on Queen Elizabeth, he met his wife Diane, who was also working on
:23:03. > :23:07.board. Romance was frowned upon in those
:23:07. > :23:10.days. Yes. If they thought you were
:23:10. > :23:14.cavorting around with one of the other members of the crew, your
:23:14. > :23:17.quite often put onto the mothership. Previously unseen archive film of
:23:17. > :23:20.the ship shows her sailing to New York in rough weather. Here, the
:23:20. > :23:31.liner is at Southampton's Ocean Terminal. And here she is leaving
:23:31. > :23:34.New York for the last time in 1968. It's been hidden away, much of it,
:23:34. > :23:42.since just after the Second World War. When she left here, she went
:23:42. > :23:47.out with a whimper, I felt. Reports didn't turn out to see her. She was
:23:47. > :23:50.so's ship. I wish she would have stayed here as a hotel or a museum
:23:50. > :23:56.somewhere. Peter Jelley joined the ship as a
:23:57. > :24:02.17—year—old soon after the war. All the movie stars which you so,
:24:02. > :24:07.the whole lot. Elizabeth Taylor when she was married to the English
:24:07. > :24:16.actor, then later she was there with Richard Burton. That was before they
:24:16. > :24:20.started flying. Southampton. The Queen Elizabeth
:24:20. > :24:27.prepares for final voyage, but not without a final goodbye from Queen
:24:27. > :24:34.Elizabeth the Queen Mother. She caught fire in Hong Kong
:24:34. > :24:39.harbour. She sang while her sister Queen Mary beginning Museum in
:24:39. > :24:47.California. Today, there is nothing in Southampton to remind people of
:24:48. > :24:53.one of its greatest liners. Incredible pictures. Alexis is
:24:53. > :24:59.herewith the weather. Still market out there, isn't it?
:24:59. > :25:05.Yes I'm settled. Another marquee started the day in some areas.
:25:05. > :25:09.Another murky start to the day in some areas. This is Sandown Pier on
:25:09. > :25:12.the Isle of Wight captured by Peter Churchman. Low cloud in over the
:25:12. > :25:15.South Downs, this picture was sent in by Judi Lion. And Jane Pearce
:25:15. > :25:16.tweeted us this picture to @BBCSouthWeather of the rain this
:25:16. > :25:20.morning in Christchurch. @BBCSouthWeather of
:25:20. > :25:24.A few showers today, and there will be showers tonight, one or two
:25:24. > :25:28.missed patches but not as dense and as widespread as we have seen in
:25:28. > :25:33.recent nights. There is a shower risk along the south coast. Some
:25:33. > :25:38.clear spells more likely that further north and east you are.
:25:38. > :25:43.Temperatures of 11 Celsius at the lowest. Not as mild as last night,
:25:43. > :25:49.but pretty mild for the time of year. It will be a damp and cloudy
:25:49. > :25:53.start for tomorrow, but it is a much better day than today. Sunny spells
:25:53. > :25:59.will start to develop. Missed patches will clear. And highs of 19
:25:59. > :26:04.degrees or 20 Celsius. A few degrees above the seasonal average. It will
:26:05. > :26:09.be breezy, from the North or North East. Some lovely late evening
:26:09. > :26:18.sunshine, and then the shower risk is evident in the early hours of
:26:18. > :26:25.Saturday morning. The bridges of 12 Celsius at the lowest. Uncertainty
:26:25. > :26:29.on Saturday as to whether we will see a weather front pushed up from
:26:29. > :26:35.the continent. Some showers in the evening time, also light and patchy
:26:35. > :26:40.during the morning. Later on in the day we could have thunder.
:26:40. > :26:43.Uncertainty about that, so stay tuned to the forecast over the next
:26:43. > :26:53.few days. The weather may enter some events, but for the British Masters
:26:53. > :27:05.grass track speedway championships, and sure no one will be put off by
:27:05. > :27:14.the rain. The farmers murky starts at 9am, and Piglet racing is on at
:27:14. > :27:20.10am. An unsettled picture for the rest of the week. Some sunshine
:27:21. > :27:26.around tomorrow will stop. A lovely end to the day tomorrow. Some
:27:26. > :27:34.showers or maybe some thunderstorms on Saturday into Sunday morning. The
:27:34. > :27:40.risk of rain on Sunday and Monday. That is it from us tonight. We have
:27:40. > :27:43.more news at 8pm and 10:25pm. From both of us, good evening.
