:00:00. > :00:00.pretty soggy. Thank you. That is all from the BBC. We can
:00:00. > :00:10.Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme:
:00:11. > :00:16.A kick in the teeth ` Meals on Wheels volunteers unhappy at their
:00:17. > :00:20.changing role. I think we have really been treated abominably. Not
:00:21. > :00:24.only me, everybody am the older volunteers.
:00:25. > :00:26.Feeling less than Grand, the Isle of Wight hotel who's future is in
:00:27. > :00:29.doubt. Coughs and sneezes spread diseases,
:00:30. > :00:41.so will this entice hospital staff to get their flu jab?
:00:42. > :00:43.And Gordon the Great is back, signing up to a new venture at
:00:44. > :01:00.Hampshire Cricket. It's a lifeline to the vulnerable
:01:01. > :01:04.that relies on the good deeds of others. Meals on Wheels is not just
:01:05. > :01:08.about delivering decent food but the chance for a chat with the person
:01:09. > :01:11.who brings it. The service in West Sussex, run by the Royal Voluntary
:01:12. > :01:16.Service, is being upgraded with more hot meals. But the food will no
:01:17. > :01:20.longer be delivered by volunteers ` and some are so upset at the changes
:01:21. > :01:30.they're called it a "kick in the teeth". Sean Killick reports.
:01:31. > :01:38.You have got chicken and vegetable pie today. Lunch has arrived today
:01:39. > :01:43.for this 89`year`old man. The Meals on Wheels service has been a
:01:44. > :01:51.lifeline for him for some time now. I started when I lost my wife. So it
:01:52. > :01:58.is quite important to you? Absolutely, I rely on it completely.
:01:59. > :02:03.The food was prepared at this site in Bognor Regis. This site will
:02:04. > :02:10.close next month as the charity brings a renewed contract with just
:02:11. > :02:14.one site remaining. In future, meals will only be delivered by staff
:02:15. > :02:19.drivers such as Gerald. Not volunteers, whose role will be
:02:20. > :02:23.restricted to carrying out safety and well`being checks while helping
:02:24. > :02:29.heat food. Many of the volunteer drivers, such as this man, are angry
:02:30. > :02:33.at the change. He has been delivering meals for several years
:02:34. > :02:39.and believes the new stuff delivery drivers will not have as much time
:02:40. > :02:42.for the elderly clients. They get used to coming in, doing little
:02:43. > :02:46.things for them. They are going to miss us. I do not think the van
:02:47. > :02:53.drivers that are coming down now have got the time to do what we do.
:02:54. > :02:58.The Royal Voluntary Service has a long history of helping older people
:02:59. > :03:01.independently. The man who runs it says he hopes the West Sussex
:03:02. > :03:08.volunteers will continue with them and enjoy greater flexibility for
:03:09. > :03:15.how long they visit the elderly. Instead of somebody having to zoom
:03:16. > :03:20.around, but we can find a way to be more flexible and give more time.
:03:21. > :03:24.West Sussex county council says this is not a cost `based decision.
:03:25. > :03:30.Meanwhile the existing staff will have to apply for one of the 39 new
:03:31. > :03:33.kitchen or van driver jobs. Let's get some answers to the
:03:34. > :03:36.volunteers' concerns by speaking to the RVS Chief Executive David
:03:37. > :03:41.McCullough who joins me live from London. Thank you very much for
:03:42. > :03:45.joining us. You may not have intended it, but you do seem to have
:03:46. > :03:53.upset some of your valid tubal `` valuable volunteers. If we manage to
:03:54. > :03:56.do that, that is bad. Nothing that we do can be done without our
:03:57. > :04:00.volunteers, they are the lifeblood of the organisation. We have got a
:04:01. > :04:07.job of work to do, myself and my team, to make sure that we explain
:04:08. > :04:10.things more clearly and better for the volunteers, because the last
:04:11. > :04:14.thing I want is to lose people. The key thing we are trying to do is
:04:15. > :04:18.what the older people are asking us for, to have more time with the
:04:19. > :04:24.people that visit them and more conversation, as well as a great
:04:25. > :04:30.meal. On the face of it, it looks as if you are asking them to be carers?
:04:31. > :04:33.We are absolutely not doing that. There is a real misunderstanding
:04:34. > :04:39.here. Volunteers can deliver the meals are they want to but the right
:04:40. > :04:44.training. We are adding people is not to be social workers, but spend
:04:45. > :04:48.time, going, have a chat. If we can make that valuable two minutes of
:04:49. > :04:53.time valuable ten minutes of time, 12 minutes of time, that is normally
:04:54. > :04:58.the only person somebody will see in the day. Do you think there has been
:04:59. > :05:08.a lack of June invitation on your part? `` communist nation. It is
:05:09. > :05:12.down to me and my team to communicate properly with
:05:13. > :05:15.volunteers. If we have not done that, I need to get down there and
:05:16. > :05:21.chat with everybody and understand what they feel we can do to make the
:05:22. > :05:24.service better make sure the part our volunteers play is the part we
:05:25. > :05:31.want to play. I will go and see them next he `` next week, absolutely.
:05:32. > :05:35.Thank you very much indeed. The navigator of a yacht which
:05:36. > :05:37.collided with an oil tanker in the Solent has described the chaotic
:05:38. > :05:41.moments surrounding the impact. Michael Shrives was part of the crew
:05:42. > :05:45.racing the Atalanta during the 2011 Cowes Week. The yacht's skipper and
:05:46. > :05:47.owner, former Royal Naval officer, Lieutenant Roland Wilson, denies
:05:48. > :05:57.three charges of contravening maritime regulations. Alex Forsyth
:05:58. > :06:01.reports. Like rabbits in headlights, that is
:06:02. > :06:04.how the navigator of this yacht described the moments on board
:06:05. > :06:11.before it collided with an oil tanker. One crew member jumped
:06:12. > :06:13.overboard and was rescued. Another suffered head injuries. Michael
:06:14. > :06:17.Shrives was part of the crew racing the Atalanta during Cowes Week. He
:06:18. > :06:23.says she was doing around seven knots when, possibly because of a
:06:24. > :06:27.wind change, she came to a sudden stop before the collision. He said
:06:28. > :06:32.there came a point it was too late to do anything to avoid it. The
:06:33. > :06:36.court heard that Michael Shrives is a Royal Naval Commander and
:06:37. > :06:41.experienced sailor. He said the crew had seen the tanker as she made her
:06:42. > :06:48.way up the Solent. They expected her to turn as she headed towards the
:06:49. > :06:52.oil refinery. He said the Atalanta took a course that they thought
:06:53. > :06:57.allowed her to pass a safe distance away. The court heard that the
:06:58. > :07:11.tanker had taken action to avoid a motor cruiser that it had trouble.
:07:12. > :07:15.Today, the jury were told: The prosecution say the skipper,
:07:16. > :07:20.Lieutenant Roland Wilson, was sailing too close to the tanker. He
:07:21. > :07:27.denies failing to keep a proper lookout. The trial continues.
:07:28. > :07:31.West Sussex County Council is to vote on plans to cut its youth
:07:32. > :07:35.services department by nearly a third. The council has already made
:07:36. > :07:39.cuts to its youth support and development service ` but it says it
:07:40. > :07:44.needs to save a further 50 full time posts, which will affect more than
:07:45. > :07:47.100 people. The council says it has to make difficult decisions and will
:07:48. > :07:51.still help vulnerable young people in the areas of highest need.
:07:52. > :07:54.Extra carriages have been unveiled by South West Trains. But they're
:07:55. > :07:58.not exactly new ` passengers may remember these on the Gatwick
:07:59. > :08:01.Express a few years ago. They're being used to make longer trains on
:08:02. > :08:04.services from Berkshire to Waterloo, adding more than 20,000 rush hour
:08:05. > :08:06.seats every morning. And they will use the former Eurostar
:08:07. > :08:08.international terminal at Waterloo which reopens tomorrow. Our
:08:09. > :08:17.transport correspondent Paul Clifton reports.
:08:18. > :08:23.Dragged into the depot by a diesel. The newly refurbished carriage. 60
:08:24. > :08:28.of these will be added to trains between Berkshire and Waterloo.
:08:29. > :08:34.Today, most have eight carriages. Soon they will have ten. They are
:08:35. > :08:38.just now designed for commuter routes, so there would be less
:08:39. > :08:42.baggage space but more passenger space. In terms of the regular
:08:43. > :08:48.users, there will certainly be more space. These were some of the first
:08:49. > :08:52.trains built after the railways were privatised in the mid`1990s. On the
:08:53. > :08:58.Gatwick express, these distinctive noses give them the name Darth
:08:59. > :09:09.Vader, after the character in Star Wars. This is a less flashy,
:09:10. > :09:17.utilitarian carriage. This first carriage had been expected last
:09:18. > :09:22.June. Or supplier underestimated the complexity, especially with
:09:23. > :09:26.rebuilding the cabs. 60 platforms have also had to be made longer and
:09:27. > :09:33.new electricity substations installed. These refurbished trains
:09:34. > :09:39.will bring an extra 23,000 seat in the morning rush`hour, as they are
:09:40. > :09:47.introduced over the next year. They will use the former Eurostar
:09:48. > :09:50.platforms at Waterloo International. It's been revealed that Southampton
:09:51. > :09:53.City Council spent a quarter of a million pounds last year cleaning up
:09:54. > :09:56.after fly tippers. New Government figures show nearly 8,000 incidents
:09:57. > :10:00.were reported in the city ` ranking it in the top 10% in England. Most
:10:01. > :10:06.of the fly tipping involved household waste.
:10:07. > :10:09.Still to come in this evening's South Today: The youngsters
:10:10. > :10:19.preparing to go on court with some of the world's biggest tennis stars.
:10:20. > :10:22.With winter approaching, the flu season is just around the corner and
:10:23. > :10:28.it's likely to affect tens of thousands of people. Hospitals have
:10:29. > :10:33.been told to give vaccinations to their own staff. Last year, many
:10:34. > :10:36.struggle to get anywhere near that figure, so they are now using a
:10:37. > :10:43.range of incentives to hit their targets. Our health correspondent
:10:44. > :10:49.spent the day at a hospital near Portsmouth where teams of nurses are
:10:50. > :10:54.on the prowl. Emma Fisher is a nurse with a list.
:10:55. > :11:01.It is her job to get all 130 staff vaccinated on her ward. Once you
:11:02. > :11:07.approach people and explain it, I try to ease their worry. It is just
:11:08. > :11:12.talking them through it, making them comfortable as you would with
:11:13. > :11:17.patients. They are your patient for that moment in time. Vaccinating
:11:18. > :11:23.staff also protects vulnerable patients like this baby, 15 weeks
:11:24. > :11:29.premature. But getting people to have the jab is not always easy. So
:11:30. > :11:37.far, 35% of staff have been done, nurses have the best rates, junior
:11:38. > :11:43.doctors have the worst. The target is 75%, which is very ambitious. We
:11:44. > :11:49.have 52 clinics across the trust. We are working, early and late
:11:50. > :11:54.clinics, weekend clinics, to try and get as many staff as we can. The key
:11:55. > :11:58.issue is that we need staff to come in and have their vaccine to protect
:11:59. > :12:08.themselves and their patients and families. All hospitals are trying
:12:09. > :12:17.new ways to get staff to have the jab. At Poole, they have made a kung
:12:18. > :12:21.fu fighting video. Back in Portsmouth, every case of suspected
:12:22. > :12:28.flu, inpatient or staff, is tested here. This will give us a result,
:12:29. > :12:32.somewhere in the region of three to three and a half hours, the sample
:12:33. > :12:37.had been taken. It is very accurate and sensitive and specific. It is as
:12:38. > :12:45.a result we can believe. For Emma, the work goes on. So far, 60 staff
:12:46. > :12:48.of food vaccinated `` 60 staff have been vaccinated.
:12:49. > :12:52.The future of staff and inmates at Reading Prison will be discussed
:12:53. > :12:55.tonight. The prison is due to shut in December. However, since learning
:12:56. > :12:58.of the closure last month, Reading Borough Council says it has had no
:12:59. > :13:02.contact from the Ministry of Justice. This evening, the council
:13:03. > :13:10.will start drawing up a plan looking at possible future uses for the
:13:11. > :13:14.Grade Two listed building. May contain nuts. You have seen it on
:13:15. > :13:20.food packets, but not for much longer. From the end of next year,
:13:21. > :13:25.new food labelling rules come into force which change the way
:13:26. > :13:28.information is displayed. Including specific details of ingredients
:13:29. > :13:32.which might cause allergies. It is a big change, in particular for
:13:33. > :13:36.restaurants. And food businesses today got a chance to find out what
:13:37. > :13:39.it will mean at a conference organised by a campaigner from
:13:40. > :13:43.Eastleigh. Choosing where to eat out can be a
:13:44. > :13:44.frustrating process for allergy sufferers. Campaigner Michelle
:13:45. > :13:48.Berriedale`Johnson says restaurants who give detailed allergy
:13:49. > :13:51.information are in the minority. But that will have to change from next
:13:52. > :13:59.year. Customers will have a legal right to know if what's on the menu
:14:00. > :14:02.contains allergens. They don't have to have it written, they can tell
:14:03. > :14:09.them about it, but they have to be able to tell them accurately. This
:14:10. > :14:13.EU legislation will govern all of our food regulations and come from
:14:14. > :14:17.Brussels. It means that it is slow and clunky to get there, but at
:14:18. > :14:21.least it means anywhere you go in Europe now the regulations are
:14:22. > :14:24.exactly the same. The list of 14 includes some established allergens
:14:25. > :14:27.such as all types of shellfish. Peanuts and other nuts will both
:14:28. > :14:29.have to be listed and not lumped together, and less well known
:14:30. > :14:32.allergens include sulphur dioxide used as a preservative and
:14:33. > :14:39.ingredients derived from the lupin plant. Today's conference in
:14:40. > :14:43.Southampton aimed to spread the word about the changes. The organiser,
:14:44. > :14:46.Eastleigh food allergy sufferer Caroline Benjamin, was to be found
:14:47. > :14:51.in the kitchen overseeing a lunch menu designed to show off food free
:14:52. > :14:57.from allergies. Her new business offers training to those who'll be
:14:58. > :15:01.affected by the regulations. I think it is great to be a struggle,
:15:02. > :15:05.especially for smaller businesses, because there is going to be a cost
:15:06. > :15:08.implication for them. They are going to have to follow it through. They
:15:09. > :15:15.will have to start thinking about it now. It possibly clears up some of
:15:16. > :15:22.the grey areas. When you know what you must do rather than may do, it
:15:23. > :15:25.offers clarity. We are cooking everything from scratch, we know
:15:26. > :15:27.what is in our food, we can happily offer customers what they are
:15:28. > :15:30.looking for. Trading Standards will enforce the law, which will also
:15:31. > :15:36.require clear labelling of allergens on packaged food. They admit
:15:37. > :15:41.policing the changes won't be easy. In Southampton, we have hundreds of
:15:42. > :15:44.takeaways, restaurants, sandwich shops. It applies completely across
:15:45. > :15:48.the board. There is a lot of them and not many of us. Maximum fines
:15:49. > :15:51.for breaking the law will be around 5,000 pounds but today's conference
:15:52. > :15:54.focused on avoiding the penalties and making the most of the business
:15:55. > :15:57.opportunities in serving the UK's 21 million allergy sufferers with the
:15:58. > :16:09.right food combined with the right information. Millions of pounds will
:16:10. > :16:14.be poured into improving Wiltshire's roads. The county
:16:15. > :16:19.council has decided. 150 miles of road is to be resurfaced every year
:16:20. > :16:22.for the next six years. It will cost an extra ?52 million. It is hoped
:16:23. > :16:26.this move will clear the maintenance backlog in the county.
:16:27. > :16:30.It's called the Grand hotel and in its heyday it was. But time and the
:16:31. > :16:33.elements have taken their toll on the Art Deco building which occupies
:16:34. > :16:37.a prominent site in Sandown. Campaigners want it restored but the
:16:38. > :16:41.owners want to demolish it and build a new hotel. Today the Isle of Wight
:16:42. > :16:49.council was asked to decide it's fate. James Ingham reports.
:16:50. > :16:53.It's a building well past its best ` to some an eyesore, to others a
:16:54. > :17:01.unique piece of history that must be preserved. The Grand hotel has stood
:17:02. > :17:09.on Sandown's seafront for 75 years. It was a premier destination. But
:17:10. > :17:15.it's been empty for more than a year. Pat Lutley's father and uncles
:17:16. > :17:23.built the hotel. She remembers the Grand in better days. At that time,
:17:24. > :17:28.when it was new, it was all pink and white. And the awning all around the
:17:29. > :17:34.edge was pink and white stripes. It was very grand. And there were lots
:17:35. > :17:47.of palm trees and plants all around it as well. You could have been in
:17:48. > :17:50.Nice. It was quite beautiful. It wasn't long finished when the Second
:17:51. > :17:54.World War broke out. The basement was taken over as a control room for
:17:55. > :17:57.the Pluto project, overseeing fuel pumping through pipelines to the
:17:58. > :18:00.Allies in France. But nothing remains of that hub, and planning
:18:01. > :18:03.officials say the Art Deco features aren't particularly noteworthy so
:18:04. > :18:09.there's no reason the building can't be demolished. This has been an
:18:10. > :18:14.important building, a very nice building, but just no longer fit for
:18:15. > :18:18.purpose. Sandown is a beautiful town, but one of the problems we
:18:19. > :18:21.have got is we have a small number of derelict or semiderelict
:18:22. > :18:26.buildings that are letting the town down. We can start the regeneration
:18:27. > :18:32.process here if this application is approved today. But it hasn't been.
:18:33. > :18:36.In the past hour, councillors rejected the plans, Devin
:18:37. > :18:42.campaigners hope that the hotel will one day be restored to its former
:18:43. > :18:45.glory. This year's warm summer has brought
:18:46. > :18:49.a welcome tourism boost to the region. The Isle of Wight saw a ?21
:18:50. > :18:54.million increase in the amount of money spent by tourists, thanks to
:18:55. > :18:57.the high temperatures. VisitEngland said more than half of attractions
:18:58. > :19:06.nationwide saw a rise in bookings over the holiday months. Onto sport,
:19:07. > :19:11.we will start with one of the greatest in cricket.
:19:12. > :19:25.It was a great summer for cricket. It was back in 1973 as well. Gordon
:19:26. > :19:32.Greenidge spent a lot of his youth in Redding as well, but one of that
:19:33. > :19:35.great Caribbean generation. Greenidge was at the Ageas Bowl to
:19:36. > :19:38.see one of the newest projects by the Hampshire Cricket Community
:19:39. > :19:42.Trust. And to mark his appearance there was a Caribbean feel to the
:19:43. > :19:47.occasion. Gordon Greenidge is one of the faces
:19:48. > :19:58.of the Calypso cricket era, an era which saw West Indian players on top
:19:59. > :20:01.of the world. My word. His exploits for Hampshire are the stuff of
:20:02. > :20:06.legend as well, a championship winner and a welcome choice to open
:20:07. > :20:12.the new centre. A project from the Hampshire cricket community trust.
:20:13. > :20:15.Being back at Hampshire and opening the centre which I know will be a
:20:16. > :20:25.great benefit to the schools and pupils within the area. And also, it
:20:26. > :20:30.is hoped that by opening the doors, that they will take a bigger
:20:31. > :20:34.interest in cricket. The centre has cutting`edge technology, and one of
:20:35. > :20:37.the scheme is already in place sees these youngsters teaching older
:20:38. > :20:42.generations more about an increasingly online world. It is
:20:43. > :20:48.time we start contributing back to our community. It is just another
:20:49. > :20:52.step in that direction. The centre is showing off Caribbean cricket's
:20:53. > :20:59.influence on Hampshire during Black history month. I hope it is not just
:21:00. > :21:07.players from the Caribbean, but the relationship that is formed which
:21:08. > :21:14.will continue. That's championship success, time flies. I can't
:21:15. > :21:20.remember that far back. It was good to be part of the championship team
:21:21. > :21:24.of that year. I think we won the championship with perhaps the least
:21:25. > :21:30.team Hampshire have had over the years. It was good, and I am very
:21:31. > :21:33.pleased to have been part of it. Very pleased to see Gordon Greenidge
:21:34. > :21:36.back in the South. In football, Portsmouth bid to make
:21:37. > :21:39.it five games unbeaten in all competitions when they play their
:21:40. > :21:42.second home game in four days tonight. 15,000 saw them beat Bury
:21:43. > :21:45.on Saturday. Tonight, Wycombe are the visitors. John Marquis should
:21:46. > :21:50.feature having extended his loan spell for another month from
:21:51. > :21:53.Millwall. Away from Fratton Park, Oxford are
:21:54. > :21:57.at Exeter who are a place above them in the table. There's also League
:21:58. > :22:03.One home games for both Swindon and MK Dons. It's all live on BBC Local
:22:04. > :22:06.radio. Tucked away in a sports centre in
:22:07. > :22:09.Hampshire this week, a group of school children are being put
:22:10. > :22:13.through their paces as they prepare to be ball kids for the world's top
:22:14. > :22:18.men's tennis players. They'll be on court at the O2 Arena next month and
:22:19. > :22:25.Ed Sherry reports on their training. This is Boot Camp, tennis style. The
:22:26. > :22:28.youngsters on Hampshire this week have been short listed from 14
:22:29. > :22:32.regional trials. They are ready to serve the world's best tennis
:22:33. > :22:37.players as ball kids at the ATP finals. We have been learning
:22:38. > :22:45.different ball skills, balance, skill, stamina, speed skills as
:22:46. > :22:48.well. You have to stay in focus and if you mess your bit up, you will
:22:49. > :22:53.muck up for the whole team. You have to stay alert the whole time and
:22:54. > :22:58.just make sure you don't make a mistake. The kids will be mixing on
:22:59. > :23:04.court with superstars like Rafa Nadal. I am excited about going but
:23:05. > :23:12.in front of all those people you are wondering, can you do this? I want
:23:13. > :23:16.them to be moulded into a lean machine. A real inner confidence
:23:17. > :23:23.that they know exactly what their job is on court. And that they will
:23:24. > :23:27.enjoy the experience. The tournament begins on November the 4th, these
:23:28. > :23:32.ball kids will be ready. They will need to be. It can be
:23:33. > :23:42.quite fiery on court if you make a mistake. I would pay money to be a
:23:43. > :23:47.ball kid if Rafa Nadal is playing. It's a bit of a celebration now, it
:23:48. > :23:53.started life as a pilot idea when there was a demand for local radio
:23:54. > :24:07.stations. 30 years ago, BBC and Eyton `` BBC Radio Brighton began
:24:08. > :24:11.broadcasting. A special programme was broadcast today live from the
:24:12. > :24:15.city where it began. The current host was joined by the original
:24:16. > :24:26.breakfast presenter. Congratulations to them. Onto the weather forecast.
:24:27. > :24:34.It could be quite a noisy night weather`wise? Yes, we have already
:24:35. > :24:37.had a lot of flashes of lightning. Pumpkin picking in the rain at
:24:38. > :24:40.Sopley in Hampshire. This photo was taken by Chris Grimmett. Autumnal
:24:41. > :24:46.colours in the rain at Winkworth Arboretum near Godalming in Surrey
:24:47. > :24:52.by Nicky Morgan. That is beautiful. This one is not bad either. Richard
:24:53. > :24:56.Johnston took this photo of the sun shining in Christchurch this
:24:57. > :25:02.afternoon. Many thunderstorms on the cards
:25:03. > :25:06.through the course of tonight. Heavy thundery showers, bands of showers
:25:07. > :25:09.pushing up from the south, which is why the Met Office have issued a
:25:10. > :25:14.yellow weather warning for heavy rain. That is valid until 6am
:25:15. > :25:17.tomorrow morning. Through the course of tonight the showers will work
:25:18. > :25:22.their way up from the south, claps of thunder, lightning as well, with
:25:23. > :25:28.heavy torrential downpours in places, and with it, very squally
:25:29. > :25:32.winds. Costs along the south coast of around 60 mph, potentially
:25:33. > :25:37.damaging wind gusts along the coast. Inland gusts of 40 mph.
:25:38. > :25:42.Temperatures stay mild despite the rain, lows of 14 to 15 Celsius. A

:25:46. > :25:50.out and the sun will make an appearance. A lovely afternoon in
:25:51. > :25:55.store. Temperatures rising nicely. In our towns and cities, up to 15,
:25:56. > :26:01.16, potentially 17 Celsius. Winds will ease tomorrow. It will feel
:26:02. > :26:04.pleasant, winds coming in from the west tomorrow afternoon. Through the
:26:05. > :26:11.course of tomorrow night, mist and fog will form in places. That could
:26:12. > :26:14.cause disruption on the roads. Reduced visibility, temperatures
:26:15. > :26:19.falling to around eight to 13 Celsius. A complete contrast in
:26:20. > :26:24.temperatures from the north to the south of the region. I'll start the
:26:25. > :26:32.day on Thursday, a dry start. `` eight mild start. This area of low
:26:33. > :26:39.pressure springs and rain `` swings in rain. Quite heavy rainfall on the
:26:40. > :26:45.cards on Thursday night into Friday morning. The Met Office are keeping
:26:46. > :26:49.close eye on the situation. At the end of the week we will see showers,

:26:55. > :26:58.ease. A cloudy start to Thursday, a decent day, some sunny spells, any
:26:59. > :27:02.showers will be few and far between. Heavy rain on Thursday
:27:03. > :27:07.night into Friday morning, on Saturday, probably the best day of
:27:08. > :27:12.the weekend with bright spells. Thank you very much. Keep those
:27:13. > :27:18.pictures coming in. Tomorrow's sport, something really interesting.
:27:19. > :27:23.We told you the story of the former Southampton youngster who had a very
:27:24. > :27:30.serious bout of illness. His life was in danger, and the doctors
:27:31. > :27:38.described his recovery as a miracle. The era of Gareth Bale and Theo
:27:39. > :27:43.Walcott. He was part of that era. He could be talking with us tomorrow
:27:44. > :27:48.night so be with us for that. Thank you for watching. Good night.
