:00:00. > :00:09.Monday. That is all from the
:00:10. > :00:13.Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme:
:00:14. > :00:17.The inspectors call as death rates at two of the south's hospitals come
:00:18. > :00:21.under scrutiny. A testing time for youth services in
:00:22. > :00:24.West Sussex as they face losing a further 100 jobs.
:00:25. > :00:37.Too many two wheelers ` are the numbers spinning out of control in
:00:38. > :00:39.Surrey? And in Lymington, they are preparing
:00:40. > :00:48.to give the freedom of the town to Sir Ben Ainslie.
:00:49. > :00:54.Two of the South's hospitals have been found to be at risk of giving
:00:55. > :00:58.poor care to patients, according to a report out today. The findings
:00:59. > :01:03.were based on a mountain of data ` including death rates, serious
:01:04. > :01:08.errors and patient surveys. Under the new system, band one is the
:01:09. > :01:12.worst. Both the Royal Berkshire and the Royal Bournemouth hospitals are
:01:13. > :01:17.in this category. It means they're considered to be at a raised risk of
:01:18. > :01:20.providing poor care. In band four are hospitals in Winchester,
:01:21. > :01:25.Basingtoke, the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth. And at the very top and
:01:26. > :01:35.doing well ` hospitals in Dorchester, Frimley, Salisbury,
:01:36. > :01:37.Worthing and Chichester. Today our health correspondent David Fenton
:01:38. > :01:42.had exclusive access to an inspection of the Royal Bournemouth.
:01:43. > :01:48.These visits used to be done behind closed doors, but not any more.
:01:49. > :01:52.Today 23 inspectors began investigating high death rates at
:01:53. > :01:57.the hospital. We have no vested interest, none at all. We are coming
:01:58. > :02:02.with an open mind to see if we can report fairly the strengths and
:02:03. > :02:07.weaknesses of any trust we visit, to help them all to improve, where that
:02:08. > :02:12.is necessary. They will spend two days interviewing hundreds of staff
:02:13. > :02:17.and patients about what they really think. I'm sure that hospital
:02:18. > :02:21.inspectors are professional and they know from people's faces how well
:02:22. > :02:29.things are going and how happy the patients look. We're trying to find
:02:30. > :02:33.out the patient experience, how the service is being delivered, the
:02:34. > :02:38.quality of the service, if people are safe, if the care is effective.
:02:39. > :02:43.And really, to see all the areas that we want to see. The inspectors
:02:44. > :02:47.are looking at every area of care in the hospital, from birth to death.
:02:48. > :02:55.So things like maternity services, children's services, surgery and
:02:56. > :03:00.A The issue around transparency is absolutely important and it's
:03:01. > :03:07.important for patients to be aware that we are looking at things in a
:03:08. > :03:12.great deal of detail. This is part of a new way of inspecting hospitals
:03:13. > :03:17.` more open, more honest and hopefully more effective at making
:03:18. > :03:22.care safer for patients. David is with me now. I suppose the
:03:23. > :03:27.question for many is, does this mean Bournemouth is unsafe for patients?
:03:28. > :03:30.Not really because Bournemouth sees half a million patients every year
:03:31. > :03:34.and the vast majority of them are dealt with perfectly safely. What it
:03:35. > :03:37.does mean is that there are some parts of the hospital where the
:03:38. > :03:41.death rates are higher than they should be. That's a statistical
:03:42. > :03:48.calculation but we have to remember, those statistics are about people
:03:49. > :03:52.who have died. This is really an alert to say that the figures are
:03:53. > :03:56.higher than they should be and ask what is behind that and see if
:03:57. > :04:00.something is going wrong. The inspections used to be in private `
:04:01. > :04:05.this is a fundamental shift. It has really opened up the process. Today
:04:06. > :04:10.23 inspectors were gathered at the hospital. A bit like a school
:04:11. > :04:14.outing, everybody with their clip or done nametags, and they were all
:04:15. > :04:21.going off across the hospital to ask lots of different questions. It
:04:22. > :04:24.doesn't end there. As we speak they are by Connaught Hotel asking
:04:25. > :04:30.patients to come and give them their experiences of the hospital. It is
:04:31. > :04:34.about making the process more open, more transparent and hopefully
:04:35. > :04:40.making care more effective for patients and improving the death
:04:41. > :04:42.rates, if there is a problem in some parts of the hospital. Thank you
:04:43. > :04:45.very much. The search for a man from Portsmouth
:04:46. > :04:49.who got into difficulty swimming off the Dorset Coast yesterday has been
:04:50. > :04:53.stood down. The man, thought to be in his 20s, was swimming with two
:04:54. > :04:57.friends just west of Durdle Door in Dorset when they got caught in a
:04:58. > :04:59.current. His friends made it back to shore. The Coastguard Search
:05:00. > :05:02.Rescue helicopter from Portland carried out a search last night and
:05:03. > :05:05.again this morning. Nothing was found.
:05:06. > :05:07.A man has been charged over a fatal ambulance crash in the New Forest.
:05:08. > :05:11.Richard Husband from Brockenhurst faces two counts of causing death by
:05:12. > :05:16.careless driving. The incident in April involved a South Central
:05:17. > :05:22.Ambulance Service vehicle and a car. The driver of the ambulance and a
:05:23. > :05:27.patient died in the collision. The number of youth workers in West
:05:28. > :05:31.Sussex is on the brink of being cut again, as the county struggles to
:05:32. > :05:38.make ends meet. There are plans to axe another 119 jobs ` in a bid to
:05:39. > :05:42.save just over ?1.5 million. It's been described as a blow for young
:05:43. > :05:49.people in the area, as Steve Humphrey reports.
:05:50. > :05:52.Financial pressures have already forced West Sussex County Council to
:05:53. > :05:59.make a series of cuts to its youth services in recent years. The latest
:06:00. > :06:08.proposal involves trimming another ?1.65 million from the budget, 119
:06:09. > :06:10.full and part`time youth workers. In future only vulnerable youngsters
:06:11. > :06:15.with specific needs will be offered support. The vulnerable youngsters
:06:16. > :06:19.are the most important to our society, the ones we need to protect
:06:20. > :06:24.and uplift. We need a service that works closely with them. Today the
:06:25. > :06:30.proposed cuts were discussed at County Hall. The union Unison, which
:06:31. > :06:33.represents many workers who face losing their jobs, is calling for a
:06:34. > :06:39.rethink. The public were very clear three years ago about what direction
:06:40. > :06:42.the service should take him straightened times on these
:06:43. > :06:44.proposals don't go in that direction. There should be a pause
:06:45. > :06:49.for more discussion with young people. In the future the county
:06:50. > :06:54.council is hoping more youth services and activities will be
:06:55. > :07:00.provided by centres like this. This outdoor activity centre in Shaw used
:07:01. > :07:03.to get around ?100,000 a year, county council, which also provided
:07:04. > :07:12.a full`time manager. But not any more. In the past they had always
:07:13. > :07:15.said that if you needed money you could ring up County Hall and they
:07:16. > :07:21.would send money. That is disappeared and gone. So it is a
:07:22. > :07:25.hard realisation. We have got to work out how we are going to run our
:07:26. > :07:27.business and also look at outside funding. The county council is
:07:28. > :07:34.hoping other organisations will follow the example of this outdoor
:07:35. > :07:38.activity centre. It is not our core business any longer. We will
:07:39. > :07:42.continue to support communities to help themselves. Meanwhile, back at
:07:43. > :07:50.County Hall, a final decision on the latest round of budget cuts is
:07:51. > :07:56.expected in a few weeks. There have in several unconfirmed
:07:57. > :07:59.sightings of a Vietnamese girl who went missing from her home in
:08:00. > :08:02.Ringwood at the weekend. 17`year`old Suong Thi Bui was illegally
:08:03. > :08:05.trafficked into the UK. Police in Hampshire have been increasingly
:08:06. > :08:08.concerned for her welfare. Following an appeal for information, they've
:08:09. > :08:11.had calls from people who think they've seen her as far away as
:08:12. > :08:20.London, Blandford Forum in Dorset and Chichester in Sussex. They are
:08:21. > :08:24.still appealing for information. Businesses in the South that fell
:08:25. > :08:27.victim to the mis`selling of complex financial products say they're still
:08:28. > :08:30.thousands of pounds out of pocket. Despite a compensation scheme, many
:08:31. > :08:33.small firms have yet to get any money back from the banks. The issue
:08:34. > :08:37.was today raised in Parliament, where MPs called for the process to
:08:38. > :08:50.be speeded up. Here's our business correspondent Alastair Fee.
:08:51. > :08:54.Theresa is ?250,000 out of pocket, and all because of a product sold to
:08:55. > :08:58.her by her bank when she took out a loan six years ago. She was told it
:08:59. > :09:04.would protect her if interest rates rose. Instead they fell and she was
:09:05. > :09:07.charged thousands. Her dental practice is among many firms that
:09:08. > :09:12.have suffered. The banks involved have all signed up to a consultation
:09:13. > :09:16.`` compensation process but the frustrations continue. It just
:09:17. > :09:20.doesn't have enough teeth. The bankers are getting away with what
:09:21. > :09:24.they've always got away with. They're is still on their nice big
:09:25. > :09:28.bonuses, they have loads of people supposedly sorting it out who are
:09:29. > :09:33.getting big paycheques, and I'm still not being paid. MPs are not
:09:34. > :09:37.impressed either. For the second time in the Commons, this complex
:09:38. > :09:41.financial product, called an interest rate swap, was up for
:09:42. > :09:49.debate. This bid of payments is painfully slow and it's notable that
:09:50. > :09:51.as this debate grew closer there was self congratulatory crowing that
:09:52. > :09:56.some of the banks have managed to make contact with 6% of their
:09:57. > :10:01.customers. Well done, but how about paying them back some of their own
:10:02. > :10:14.money? The Financial Conduct Authority says...
:10:15. > :10:20.Theresa's bank has suspended the monthly payment she was paying but
:10:21. > :10:24.despite a meeting to discuss her claim in August, she has still not
:10:25. > :10:31.heard if, or when, she will be compensated for her losses.
:10:32. > :10:41.There have been tributes today to an man behind a distinctive landmark on
:10:42. > :10:44.Poole key, who has died. `` the quayside in Poole. The sculptor Sir
:10:45. > :10:48.Anthony Caro, who was 89, created the piece Sea Music, which was put
:10:49. > :10:51.in place in 1991. Although the giant sculpture in Poole received a mixed
:10:52. > :10:55.reception, Sir Anthony is regarded by some as one of the outstanding
:10:56. > :10:57.sculptors of the past 50 years. An event to encourage more people to
:10:58. > :11:04.become foster carers in Portsmouth will be held tonight. There are more
:11:05. > :11:08.than 300 children in the care of the city council, with around 50 each
:11:09. > :11:15.year requiring specialist support. Still to come: We will have the
:11:16. > :11:19.weather details. Here is Chris. In the sport, we'll meet a young
:11:20. > :11:23.swimmer making a big impression in the swimming Poole on the way to the
:11:24. > :11:29.2016 Paralympics. We all know the road can be a
:11:30. > :11:33.dangerous place. Most of all for the people in yellow jackets who work on
:11:34. > :11:36.it while traffic roars past just a few feet away. Today a new device to
:11:37. > :11:39.improve the safety of construction workers was unveiled in West Sussex.
:11:40. > :11:47.Our transport correspondent Paul Clifton went to see it in action.
:11:48. > :11:52.On the back of this hard hat is a small electronic receiver. When a
:11:53. > :11:58.vehicle fitted with a transmitter approaches, it buzzes. It's a bit
:11:59. > :12:05.like having eyes on the back of your head. At first we were spectacle ``
:12:06. > :12:14.sceptical. But they do work and they let you know about a machine. I
:12:15. > :12:19.would know a machine was there if it was coming up behind me. Drivers who
:12:20. > :12:24.ignore warning signs and speed limits kill or injure road workers
:12:25. > :12:28.every year. Highways agency is highlighting the dangers of driving
:12:29. > :12:30.too fast through why works. In the last three years, eight road workers
:12:31. > :12:38.have been killed but there have been many more near misses. It makes a
:12:39. > :12:44.huge difference. We first trialled at 18 months ago and the feedback we
:12:45. > :12:49.got was really positive. We worked for the last 18 months now without
:12:50. > :12:54.having anybody injured. In the South West, including Wilts and Dorset,
:12:55. > :13:01.Highways Agency says 35 vehicles have driven into lanes closed off
:13:02. > :13:05.for roadworks this year. Roger was directing traffic passed and
:13:06. > :13:10.overturned vehicle on the A303 when he was hit by a car doing 40 miles
:13:11. > :13:15.an hour. In this video, he describes what happened. I cracked open my
:13:16. > :13:20.head, I broke the windscreen of the car. I landed up on the road. The
:13:21. > :13:27.first thing I knew, there was blood coming down from the back and top of
:13:28. > :13:33.my head into my eyes. 180 people and 50 machines are fitted with this
:13:34. > :13:39.kit. The safety record on this site is excellent.
:13:40. > :13:42.If you've driven through Surrey you'll probably have noticed the
:13:43. > :13:46.increase in people taking to two wheels ` many of them inspired by
:13:47. > :13:49.last summer's Olympics. But there's been some discontent over road
:13:50. > :13:57.closures and the number of cyclists on the roads. Katy Austin went to a
:13:58. > :14:08.BBC sorry debate to hear what oversight had to say. `` what both
:14:09. > :14:11.sides. Are they super cyclists or Lycra
:14:12. > :14:14.louts? Many riders have followed the tyre tracks of Bradley Wiggins and
:14:15. > :14:17.Mark Cavendish, enjoying both organised and spontaneous rides
:14:18. > :14:19.through the Surrey Hills. But some local residents and businesses are
:14:20. > :14:22.angry about clogged`up country routes and some road closures. In
:14:23. > :14:30.Hampshire's New Forest, a ride similar to this one was spolit by
:14:31. > :14:34.vandalism. Last night more than 100 people turned up at a BBC Surrey
:14:35. > :14:37.debate to take the discussion up a gear. It's quite grim, cycling in
:14:38. > :14:43.Surrey in general. The roads are so bad. They can't hit a left side of
:14:44. > :14:48.the road, as much as they'd like to. If the roads were improved, you
:14:49. > :14:57.wouldn't have the collection of cyclists in one area. A recurring
:14:58. > :15:00.theme was the management of cycling. Should the council control race
:15:01. > :15:04.routes? Are bikes spinning out of control? Or should we welcome the
:15:05. > :15:08.economic and health benefits? There is no statutory right to object, nor
:15:09. > :15:13.any process to follow to lodge objections. A large number of
:15:14. > :15:18.people, and Pratt is and cycling as fast as they can in many cases, on
:15:19. > :15:21.roads meant for other traffic. There is only one Complete Rd closure
:15:22. > :15:24.event in Surrey to our knowledge. Surrey County Council has already
:15:25. > :15:32.promised to improve road surfaces, and is consulting on a cycling
:15:33. > :15:40.strategy for the county. I think we are only the council and we can't
:15:41. > :15:44.stop people doing what they want to do. We can try and manage it better.
:15:45. > :15:50.But the challenge now is to shape an Olympic cycling legacy that suits
:15:51. > :15:54.everyone. Chris has all the sport in a moment.
:15:55. > :15:56.He's one of the world's greatest sailors ` four Olympic gold medals,
:15:57. > :16:00.a knighthood, and recently, an America's Cup winner. What further
:16:01. > :16:04.honours are there for Sir Ben Ainslie? Well, Ainslie is well known
:16:05. > :16:09.for his links to the South ` and in particular to Lymington. And tonight
:16:10. > :16:12.that's being recognised formally at a presentation. Our reporter Joe
:16:13. > :16:19.Campbell is live in Lymington tonight and can tell us more.
:16:20. > :16:22.In the last few minutes, Ben Ainslie has received the freedom of
:16:23. > :16:26.Lymington, the town which he told people had been his home for nearly
:16:27. > :16:29.20 years. He came here not knowing a great deal about the place but felt
:16:30. > :16:34.it had become his home in the time since then. That was when he was on
:16:35. > :16:39.the cusp of what has been an incredible career. First those for
:16:40. > :16:43.Olympic gold medals in the thin and laser classes and you can see him
:16:44. > :16:52.just behind us at the moment. He's been inside, where he has been
:16:53. > :17:03.receiving this freedom. The mayor made her feelings clear when she
:17:04. > :17:08.spoke a short time ago. Through the different aspects of sailing, be it
:17:09. > :17:13.on the boat yards, the Chandlers' stores, sailing is a top priority
:17:14. > :17:17.for us. To have Sir Ben, the world number one champion, what more could
:17:18. > :17:23.we ask for? We're pretty thrilled to have him here. We are with Sir Ben
:17:24. > :17:30.now. It must be a record`breaking Olympic career but to come back to
:17:31. > :17:35.Lymington tonight got Micro It is a huge honour to be here to receive
:17:36. > :17:41.this award. For me, having lifted the 20 years, it means a huge
:17:42. > :17:48.amount. Whenever I come home from racing, to see all my friends, all
:17:49. > :17:51.the family, and the support of the local community has made a huge
:17:52. > :17:55.difference over the years and in sailing terms, this is a fantastic
:17:56. > :17:59.place to be and we have so many great sailors and such a great
:18:00. > :18:04.sailing history. Interesting living in the high street with such a fan
:18:05. > :18:08.base here. That's right. There have been a few interesting occasions
:18:09. > :18:13.over the years. Letters under the door? Things like that. We've had
:18:14. > :18:19.some amusing times. But it's a lot of fun and a great place to live.
:18:20. > :18:22.Thanks for joining us and congratulations from BBC South
:18:23. > :18:26.today. They are going to be partying into the night here. But for now,
:18:27. > :18:29.back to you. Last week we featured the Great
:18:30. > :18:31.Britain men's sledge hockey team, which included Tyler Christopher
:18:32. > :18:34.from Andover. Well, unfortunately, they've failed to qualify for next
:18:35. > :18:39.year's Winter Paralympics in Sochi, after a third successive
:18:40. > :18:42.qualification defeat. Losses to Japan, Italy and Sweden mean they
:18:43. > :18:46.can't now make the Games in Russia. They may still seem quite a way off,
:18:47. > :18:49.but the 2016 Olympics and Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro are
:18:50. > :18:52.the main focus of thousands of sportspeople right across the world.
:18:53. > :18:56.And for a rising star of the swimming pool here in the South, a
:18:57. > :19:03.trip to Brazil is coming round sooner than she might've imagined.
:19:04. > :19:08.I've been along to hear her story. Those in the know have their gaze
:19:09. > :19:11.firmly fixed on Alice Tighe, the 15`year`old from new Mills in
:19:12. > :19:16.Hampshire, who flies out to South America next month to represent
:19:17. > :19:19.Britain at an international school event. The chance to test the water
:19:20. > :19:25.ahead of the Paralympics. It's really exciting. It's a great
:19:26. > :19:30.experience, to get to know Brazil and get to know the people. It was
:19:31. > :19:37.quite daunting acres I've never been that far abroad for a competition.
:19:38. > :19:40.The furthest I've been as Berlin. Alice benefits from her school's
:19:41. > :19:45.on`site facilities and sporting academy. Identified for a
:19:46. > :19:50.Paralympics Time programme, she was a torch bearer last year. But when
:19:51. > :19:55.Rio comes around, she hopes to be carrying British medal hopes
:19:56. > :19:58.instead. My hopes REO 2016, and I'd like to get up on the podium. But
:19:59. > :20:07.there are a lot of steps to get there first. `` are for Rio. Having
:20:08. > :20:11.gone through 14 operations to correct a foot condition, Alice's
:20:12. > :20:16.progress is even more remarkable. Competitive swimming requires plenty
:20:17. > :20:21.of dedication and Alice is gone to great lengths to pursue her dreams.
:20:22. > :20:25.She is on between nine and ten swim sessions a week depending on her
:20:26. > :20:28.competitions. And an additional three hours of land training. It's
:20:29. > :20:35.quite intense but she takes it in her stride and manages it well with
:20:36. > :20:39.all her schoolwork. Just a nice, relaxed butterfly, OK? Just work on
:20:40. > :20:44.the technique. I've had a lot of hurdles that I've had to overcome to
:20:45. > :20:47.get where I am now so the swimming has helped me a lot. It's helped
:20:48. > :20:52.with rehabilitation and just getting back to where I am and making sure I
:20:53. > :20:57.stay positive because I know there is always that one thing I'm able to
:20:58. > :21:01.do. Alice is now turning in performances that would have

:21:12. > :21:16.A lotta people will say they are targeting Rio but Alice is

:21:42. > :21:49.Park in Surrey. And a Heron on one leg on Meon Shore
:21:50. > :21:54.in Hampshire captured by Rod Smith. It will be blustery over the next
:21:55. > :21:57.few days. Tonight we will cease rain arrived during the second part of
:21:58. > :22:03.the night but dry initially with clear spells in places before the

:22:07. > :22:12.the region, engulfing much of the region by dawn. Temperatures not as
:22:13. > :22:18.chilly as last night. We are looking at a damp start to the day tomorrow.
:22:19. > :22:20.The rain quickly moves north and eastwards on the brisk
:22:21. > :22:24.south`westerly wind and we'll see some sunshine. The risk of a shower
:22:25. > :22:31.through the afternoon but pleasantly mild temperatures despite the wind.
:22:32. > :22:36.Some late evening brightness on offer tomorrow evening. One or two

:22:42. > :22:46.You're more likely to see showers for western areas with temperatures

:22:58. > :23:02.rest of the weekend. Frame Will Claye swiftly, followed by some
:23:03. > :23:04.showers and sunshine. The middle part of Saturday looks pretty decent
:23:05. > :23:11.before abandoned train arrives in the evening. Blustery showers for
:23:12. > :23:16.Sunday but all eyes are on Sunday night into Monday. An intense area
:23:17. > :23:22.of low pressure swings in from the Atlantic and with it, very strong
:23:23. > :23:28.gale force winds, storm force wind gusts, and driving rain. We are
:23:29. > :23:31.keeping an eye on the situation. The Met Office have issued an amber
:23:32. > :23:39.warning which means be prepared for strong winds and potentially some
:23:40. > :23:45.flooding from heavy rainfall. This is the track the storm is taking,
:23:46. > :23:51.moving in to the south`west from the West. There could be heavy rainfall

:24:18. > :24:25.saw him earlier with Joe Campbell. Sir Ben Ainslie has been honoured
:24:26. > :24:28.yet again. Four medals, great success in the America's Cup, Sir
:24:29. > :24:34.Ben Ainslie, the list goes on and on. He has the freedom of Lymington.
:24:35. > :24:40.We can now go back to Joe, who is surrounded by people who have all
:24:41. > :24:45.come out to see Sir Ben Ainslie and get his autograph.
:24:46. > :24:48.They certainly have. It really has been something of a party
:24:49. > :24:55.atmosphere. He really is their favourite sun. There is this
:24:56. > :25:00.business of living in the high street and having letters stuffed
:25:01. > :25:07.under his door. Yasmin and Kate are here. Yasmin, you've got the
:25:08. > :25:10.autograph. Yes, I have it here. I bought some stamps when he won the
:25:11. > :25:15.gold for my family all over the world. It was nice to see him in
:25:16. > :25:21.person. I thought I would get one autograph behind one of the stamps.
:25:22. > :25:26.What was it like, Kate? You've been up to try and meet him. Yes, but we
:25:27. > :25:31.were asked to provide the flowers for this evening so it was lovely to
:25:32. > :25:35.see him up there and see the flowers on the stage with him will stop He
:25:36. > :25:44.really is somebody who people here are very proud of. He is a humble,
:25:45. > :25:49.sweet man. We've been up and down since the Olympics with flowers for
:25:50. > :25:56.him and goodwill gestures. It's a wonderful award and apparently this
:25:57. > :26:00.is the first one since 1974. The situation is that Sir Ben is now
:26:01. > :26:03.going to go off and join some of the councillors from here and they will
:26:04. > :26:08.no doubt have a lot of talking into the evening and maybe they will ask
:26:09. > :26:14.about his other dream, having won the America's Cup as a tactician for
:26:15. > :26:32.the United States, can he get a British team together?
:26:33. > :26:36.Sir Ben is not going to get away. Yesterday he set a new world record
:26:37. > :26:39.` paddling 100 metres in a pumpkin in exactly two minutes. But now he's
:26:40. > :26:43.gone further with a powered pumpkin! Today, Dimitri Galitzine has done it
:26:44. > :26:46.again. This time his pumpkin made it right across the Solent ` to the
:26:47. > :26:49.Isle of Wight. This was filmed shortly after he arrived and he was
:26:50. > :26:53.understandably proud of his achievement. I feel great. We've
:26:54. > :26:59.just made it over to the Isle of Wight. It was faster than we
:27:00. > :27:06.expected, under two hours. We're really pleased. Looking forward to
:27:07. > :27:11.getting onto dry land. I bet he is. Sir Ben Ainslie would be quite
:27:12. > :27:16.jealous of that record! He needs a sale in the pub in next
:27:17. > :27:22.time! He might be thinking about right
:27:23. > :27:23.now. That's all from us. We are back at 8pm and 10:25pm. Good
