:00:00. > :00:08.Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme:
:00:09. > :00:13.The long wait for justice ` why some cases are taking more than a year to
:00:14. > :00:16.go through the courts. The bereaved family who discovered
:00:17. > :00:24.their loved one's body had been given to the wrong undertakers by a
:00:25. > :00:28.hospital. It was a complete shock, because we did not find out until
:00:29. > :00:31.ten days at it had been removed. Save our ship ` the appeal to
:00:32. > :00:37.preserve Hampshire's historic harbour launch. There is virtually
:00:38. > :00:41.nothing like it in the world, she is a unique piece of history.
:00:42. > :00:43.And the sweet smell of success ` the cosmetics giant which began life in
:00:44. > :00:58.the south. Figures obtained by the BBC reveal
:00:59. > :01:02.that many criminal cases are taking more than a year to get to court.
:01:03. > :01:04.Long delays and last`minute postponements have been criticised
:01:05. > :01:10.by those supporting victims, witnesses and defendants. Our Home
:01:11. > :01:18.Affairs Correspondent Alex Forsyth has been looking at the figures.
:01:19. > :01:24.It was a long wait for justice for this woman's family. Her brother was
:01:25. > :01:29.the victim of his supposed carer who was jailed earlier this year for
:01:30. > :01:34.stealing more than ?90,000 from him. It took more than three years for
:01:35. > :01:39.the case to conclude in court. She is grateful to all involved in the
:01:40. > :01:44.successful outcome, but said the wait was hard. It was a terrible
:01:45. > :01:50.harassment. Such a terrible worry. Over and over and again, I just
:01:51. > :01:54.wanted her to say that she was guilty. Across the south, the
:01:55. > :01:59.average time from a crime being committed to a court being
:02:00. > :02:03.completed, it varies, at the moment it is 29 weeks on the Isle of Wight,
:02:04. > :02:09.compare that to Weymouth which took an average of 56 weeks to complete
:02:10. > :02:14.41 cases. In the big courts which handle far more cases, Southampton
:02:15. > :02:17.takes an average of 39 weeks from crime to completion, Winchester and
:02:18. > :02:24.Bournemouth are 45 weeks and for renting it is 51 weeks. A number of
:02:25. > :02:29.factors affect this. The way police gather evidence, the number and
:02:30. > :02:33.availability of witnesses, the complexity of the crime. Directly
:02:34. > :02:39.comparing court is difficult. Across`the`board, many agree there
:02:40. > :02:45.is room for improvement. Coming to court can be a traumatic experience
:02:46. > :02:47.for many. Delays or repeated adjournments or last`minute changes
:02:48. > :02:53.can really add to the distress and anxiety felt. In a statement, the
:02:54. > :03:12.justice minister told us his department is working...
:03:13. > :03:19.Things now I far cry from the grill and parchment courts of old. This
:03:20. > :03:23.mock trial shows how technology is being used in courts. Prosecutors in
:03:24. > :03:27.the South are already working digitally to speed things up. If you
:03:28. > :03:31.were to go into a magistrates court today, you will see our prosecutors
:03:32. > :03:38.prosecuting for a tablet device with no paper, doing lists, sentencing
:03:39. > :03:42.and trials all electronically which is a major change. Finding ways to
:03:43. > :03:48.save time can also mean saving money.
:03:49. > :03:51.Alex joins me now. You mentioned money, what kind of impact are
:03:52. > :03:54.budget pressures having on the criminal justice system and court
:03:55. > :03:57.waiting times? We looked at figures for waiting times over the past few
:03:58. > :04:00.years and broadly they're not getting any worse ` in some cases
:04:01. > :04:04.improving. But there are pressures on the system. In talking to Kate
:04:05. > :04:06.Brown, Chief of the Crown Prosecution Service for Hampshire,
:04:07. > :04:08.Wiltshire and Dorset today, she explained that since the
:04:09. > :04:12.Government's spending review of 2010, she's had to save ?3.8 million
:04:13. > :04:15.from the local CPS budget. Most of that's been saved in wages by
:04:16. > :04:18.cutting 95 staff posts, that's a quarter of the team. Big numbers.
:04:19. > :04:21.Now they're closing three out of seven offices and developing a
:04:22. > :04:26.headquarters in Eastleigh, huge restructuring and means they have to
:04:27. > :04:31.work very differently. We are now setting ourselves up into bigger
:04:32. > :04:34.units. We are dealing with just Crown Court work or magistrates'
:04:35. > :04:39.court work for all of the counties to ensure that we have resilient and
:04:40. > :04:46.specialist teams working on our most complex cases and also the smaller
:04:47. > :04:51.cases. What's the impact of this?
:04:52. > :04:53.The CPS in each area involved every prosecution, from seemingly low
:04:54. > :04:56.level crime to rapes and murders ` crucial parts of criminal justice
:04:57. > :04:59.system. To manage shrinking budgets, they have worked differently. Using
:05:00. > :05:03.technology to improve efficiency isn't a gimmick, it's a necessity,
:05:04. > :05:06.the Government is investing in this. We saw today the first televised
:05:07. > :05:09.court appearance, now that's not about efficiency but transparency,
:05:10. > :05:14.but it shows how things are changing. If all goes to plan, the
:05:15. > :05:20.impact on the way justice is delivered will be minimal. Some hope
:05:21. > :05:23.there'll be an improvement. Thank you very much.
:05:24. > :05:26.Staff at universities across the south went on strike today in a
:05:27. > :05:29.dispute over pay. Lecturers joined other workers including cooks,
:05:30. > :05:32.cleaners and caretakers to demand a better offer from their employers.
:05:33. > :05:38.Disruption at most of the south's universities was minimal, but some
:05:39. > :05:40.lectures were cancelled. James Ingham reports from Southampton
:05:41. > :05:43.University, where three unions held a rally this afternoon.
:05:44. > :05:49.Staff united with one aim, getting what they say is fair pay. Today's
:05:50. > :05:56.walk`out follows an offer by universities of a 1% increase in
:05:57. > :05:59.wages. Teaching staff and support workers say this is simply not
:06:00. > :06:12.enough, claiming in real terms they're now far worse off. Lowest
:06:13. > :06:16.paid workers here struggle to afford to live. Yemen for years, five or
:06:17. > :06:22.six years now, effectively we have taken a pay cut. We are looking at
:06:23. > :06:26.30% with inflation and everything else. With pay freezes and
:06:27. > :06:36.everything is going up, this is the thin end of the wedge. With some
:06:37. > :06:40.classes cancelled, o libraries closed and restaurants shut for
:06:41. > :06:47.business. It left some students sympathetic, others less than
:06:48. > :06:54.impressed. I think it is a bit much. Paying so much money here. With
:06:55. > :07:04.course fees, they are going up and it works out about ?50 per lecture,
:07:05. > :07:08.that is ?100 today that is gone. We could have earned that money rather
:07:09. > :07:13.than going to a lecture. Other than that, we are in support of the
:07:14. > :07:18.lectures. For what they do and the help we get and not being paid a
:07:19. > :07:20.sufficient amount, I believe the strike is effective. The University
:07:21. > :07:25.Employers Association which sets pay claims most staff think its offer is
:07:26. > :07:28.fair. But those who protested hope their voices will be heard.
:07:29. > :07:43.A coroner has A 25`year`old man's been arrested in
:07:44. > :07:47.connection with an incident which left another man with gunshot wounds
:07:48. > :07:50.to his legs and buttocks. The man walked into the North Hampshire
:07:51. > :07:53.Hospital in Basingstoke on Monday night and staff there called police.
:07:54. > :07:57.But it's believed he was shot last Friday night at Bennet Close in the
:07:58. > :08:09.town. Detectives are treating it as a targeted attack.
:08:10. > :08:11.A Southampton man has criticised the way a hospital allowed his
:08:12. > :08:14.mother`in`law's body to be collected by the wrong funeral directors,
:08:15. > :08:17.without any paperwork. His MP has taken the issue to Parliament,
:08:18. > :08:20.calling for processes around the release of bodies from hospitals to
:08:21. > :08:23.be tightened. Katy Austin reports. Dealing with the death of relative
:08:24. > :08:26.is always hard. But Peter Williams suffered additional distress when
:08:27. > :08:29.funeral directors turned up at the Bristol Royal Infirmary to collect
:08:30. > :08:32.the body of his mother`in`law, Gertrude. They rang to say 'the
:08:33. > :08:36.body's gone'. It was just a complete shock as we didn't find out until
:08:37. > :08:39.ten days after the body had been removed. Another funeral director
:08:40. > :08:43.had already taken away the body. Peter says he'd hadn't hired them to
:08:44. > :08:48.do the job. And, crucially, the BRI hadn't asked them for the body
:08:49. > :08:52.release paperwork. Peter complained to the BRI, the hospital wrote back.
:08:53. > :08:55.They apologised and say they'd never normally give out a body to funeral
:08:56. > :08:57.directors without the right paperwork. They insist their
:08:58. > :09:04.procedures were robust and blamed this incident on individual error. I
:09:05. > :09:07.did not really except that it could be one person's fault. When people
:09:08. > :09:10.are turning up with no paperwork, that's a process fault rather than
:09:11. > :09:13.just one individual's fault. The Department for Health says there's
:09:14. > :09:16.no legal requirement for hospitals to request release forms, but it
:09:17. > :09:21.expects processes to be in place for the safe and appropriate release of
:09:22. > :09:27.bodies. Peter's MP thinks more needs to be done. The Department of Health
:09:28. > :09:34.guidelines need tightening, so this doesn't happen to any other family.
:09:35. > :09:37.Also, undertakers need to take responsibility and make sure they
:09:38. > :09:42.have the correct paperwork before they go to mortuaries to take away
:09:43. > :09:52.bodies. The Health Ombudsman is now looking into the case.
:09:53. > :09:56.A coroner has recorded verdicts of accidental death on two climbers
:09:57. > :09:59.from the south who fell from a cliff in Wales. An inquest heard that
:10:00. > :10:02.23`year`old Jack Hutton Potts from Petersfield was connected by rope to
:10:03. > :10:06.his teacher. But they both fell more than 300 feet down the cliff on
:10:07. > :10:09.Anglesey. The court heard Jack would have been unconscious when he landed
:10:10. > :10:12.in the water. His teacher, Vaughan Richard Holme, who was 48 and from
:10:13. > :10:24.Horsham, died from multiple injuries.
:10:25. > :10:29.A Berkshire MP says it's "disappointing" that work hasn't
:10:30. > :10:32.started yet on a bridge to replace a notorious level crossing. Network
:10:33. > :10:36.Rail announced the plans for Ufton Nervet a year ago. Seven people were
:10:37. > :10:39.killed after a man parked his car on the tracks there in 2004 ` and there
:10:40. > :10:42.was another death last year. Wokingham MP John Redwood wants to
:10:43. > :10:46.see faster progress. Network Rail says it's still trying to buy the

:10:53. > :10:55.with its roots in Poole. An awareness campaign is being
:10:56. > :10:57.launched tomorrow to increase the early diagnosis of pancreatic
:10:58. > :11:01.cancer, the fifth most common cause of cancer death in the UK. Almost
:11:02. > :11:04.8,000 people a year die from that particular form of cancer. Figures
:11:05. > :11:07.released this week by the Office for National Statistics showed the
:11:08. > :11:10.five`year survival rate for those diagnosed with the 21 most common
:11:11. > :11:16.cancers, and pancreatic cancer is bottom of the list. If diagnosed
:11:17. > :11:21.with breast cancer, there is an 85% chance of surviving for five years.
:11:22. > :11:27.Those with lung cancer have only an 11% chance of living for that
:11:28. > :11:31.period. But trailing behind all others on the list for surviving for
:11:32. > :11:36.five years is pancreatic cancer, at just 5%. As the awareness month gets
:11:37. > :11:39.underway, Ena Miller has been to meet two people with two very
:11:40. > :11:50.different stories about their experiences of pancreatic cancer. I
:11:51. > :11:55.saw a difference GP and he thought I had a stomach ulcer and sent me for
:11:56. > :12:02.a gas `` gastroscopy. I was told that I had interoperable, incurable
:12:03. > :12:06.pancreatic cancer. It is called the silent cancer. When Susan Ross was
:12:07. > :12:10.that I is closed with it, her love of pottery was the only thing that
:12:11. > :12:21.kept her going. `` diagnosed with it. I had the tumour growing in the
:12:22. > :12:25.four up to 20 years. It is a killer. I was and am incredibly lucky. It
:12:26. > :12:31.was not the same happy ending for Audrey Saunders' and daughter who
:12:32. > :12:35.died of the disease. Because of her age, they dismissed the fact it
:12:36. > :12:41.could be anything too serious, but within the next three months, went
:12:42. > :12:45.for ten different visits to the GP, complaining that she was feeling
:12:46. > :12:50.notions and sick and they discovered an inoperable tumour. She remained
:12:51. > :12:57.calm and dignified rights to the end. The 5% survival rate has not
:12:58. > :13:02.changed in the last 40 years. My symptoms are nonspecific. It makes
:13:03. > :13:10.it quite hard to pick up. `` of symptoms. The treatment available do
:13:11. > :13:13.not offer a significant advantage and despite pancreatic cancer having
:13:14. > :13:17.such a poor outcome, it only receives less than 1% of all Cancer
:13:18. > :13:28.Research UK. The need for more funding helps... To detect early
:13:29. > :13:34.diagnosis. The Every Life Matters campaign is about calling for an
:13:35. > :13:39.increase in tools for GPs, increased GP awareness. Susan and Audrey
:13:40. > :13:46.started a support group to help others. 2.5 years ago I had not
:13:47. > :13:54.heard of it. I want people to know about it. And really that is what we
:13:55. > :13:59.are trying to do. The ticking over the next month. Just to say that
:14:00. > :14:05.this exists. They are doing as much as they can to make that known where
:14:06. > :14:08.they live. There are proposals to build at
:14:09. > :14:11.least 70 new homes for elderly people in Reading, who need extra
:14:12. > :14:15.support to live independently. Half will be built in Southcote and the
:14:16. > :14:20.other half in Caversham on the site of the former Arthur Clarke Care
:14:21. > :14:24.Home. They will be one`bedroom flat. ``. 's The home closed earlier this
:14:25. > :14:30.year, despite a fierce campaign to save it. When they made a decision
:14:31. > :14:34.to close the previous home, a lot of people ask us to promise that he
:14:35. > :14:37.would try and use that site for older people in some way. I think
:14:38. > :14:42.what we are proposing delivers on that promise and more. Your own
:14:43. > :14:45.front door, your own independent place to live, but more support can
:14:46. > :14:51.come in without you having to move away.
:14:52. > :14:55.An historic motor launch, that's more than a hundred years old, has
:14:56. > :14:59.begun what could be her final voyage. A voyage that may end in the
:15:00. > :15:02.scrap yard. The Fusil is a Victorian steam boat that was used to tow
:15:03. > :15:05.armaments barges around Portsmouth Harbour. Today she's been lifted
:15:06. > :15:10.from her mooring on Chichester canal to be put into storage. Rob Powell
:15:11. > :15:15.reports. She may have seen better days, but
:15:16. > :15:20.at 105 years of age, perhaps if you cut and bruises are to be expected.
:15:21. > :15:24.Originally built for the war effort in Portsmouth, this steam powered
:15:25. > :15:29.service launch has spent the last seven decade as a houseboat. It has
:15:30. > :15:33.been here on the Chichester Canal since the end of World War II and
:15:34. > :15:37.has played home to many families since home. The current owner bought
:15:38. > :15:41.it six years ago but says he cannot afford to keep her. He says he is
:15:42. > :15:46.hopeful to find her a new Hope. In the meantime, she would be taken
:15:47. > :15:50.into temporary storage for top today, she was plucked from the
:15:51. > :15:56.waters exposing a hell that was last seen in the 1930s. Seeing her
:15:57. > :16:05.pointing away from the sea is astonishing. He said that they
:16:06. > :16:09.always speak to you as they come out of the water, she will make creeks
:16:10. > :16:18.and but `` groans, don't worry about it. It is thought that during World
:16:19. > :16:23.War II, the Fusil was used to target armament barges around Portsmouth
:16:24. > :16:27.Harbour. It was also stated that she was built in 1908 at Thomas
:16:28. > :16:33.Crompton's Yard, if true it would make her the oldest in existence.
:16:34. > :16:38.With few photos of the Fusil around, have passed is as uncertain as her
:16:39. > :16:42.future. History is very uncertain. All you can do is to say that the
:16:43. > :16:46.type of boat that she is, the construction that she is, in all
:16:47. > :16:52.probability, it is this. It will always be a high level of
:16:53. > :16:57.probability, unless you consigned `` find the photograph. The Fusil has
:16:58. > :17:02.swapped to the canal for a car park. The owner of this houseboat
:17:03. > :17:05.come historical artefact says he is willing to give her away to a good
:17:06. > :17:11.home, anything to save her from the scrap yard. Whatever her fate, one
:17:12. > :17:18.thing is certain, it would be an emotional goodbye. They do hope she

:17:30. > :17:32.Weymouth this summer. A year and a half after the town's ferry terminal
:17:33. > :17:35.was declared unsafe, Condor returned in July. It says good weather has
:17:36. > :17:38.contributed to 100,000 bookings being made by people travelling
:17:39. > :17:43.through the port. Condor says increased footfall has also boosted
:17:44. > :17:46.local businesses. When you're walking down the High
:17:47. > :17:50.Street you often smell this shop before you see it. Lush Cosmetics
:17:51. > :17:56.was the brainchild of a group of friends from Poole. It now has more
:17:57. > :17:59.than 800 stores in 51 countries. David Allard's been meeting the team
:18:00. > :18:01.behind the brand who say Dorset will always be home to their global
:18:02. > :18:15.success story. On Poole High Street, success really
:18:16. > :18:18.does smell sweet. This is where a group of friends founded their
:18:19. > :18:31.natural cosmetics company, 25 years ago. I was a schoolboy and I like
:18:32. > :18:33.the girls and I like doing the theatrical make up for the
:18:34. > :18:37.productions and I thought it was good fun and so I wanted to do it
:18:38. > :18:40.for a living. Mark, his wife, Mo, and some of their friends began to
:18:41. > :18:43.create cosmetics from purely natural products. Then came a lucky break.
:18:44. > :18:46.Over in Littlehampton, another cosmetics company was enjoying big
:18:47. > :18:56.success and Mark secured a contract to supply them with products. The
:18:57. > :19:02.relationship with the Body Shot was great. To be involved was
:19:03. > :19:05.exhilarating. Stressful, but exhilarating. Boosted by success,
:19:06. > :19:10.they set up their own mail order company, Cosmetics To Go, but their
:19:11. > :19:15.summer sale proved disastrous. We still leave a pound for every order
:19:16. > :19:18.we sent. We ended up with a million orders with ?1 million lost.
:19:19. > :19:22.Literally scraping together what they had, they re`opened the shop
:19:23. > :19:27.and created a new brand ` Lush. This time there was no looking back. We
:19:28. > :19:31.were working with the same team for 20 or 40 years, you have gone
:19:32. > :19:34.through all of the ups and downs together. As a retailer, Mark
:19:35. > :19:40.watches the local High Street with interest. I am always up and down
:19:41. > :19:44.counting shops, we have about 40 or 50. If I were the government, I
:19:45. > :19:51.would say anybody that is opening up an individual shop, get a discount.
:19:52. > :19:55.Shops like us can afford to play `` paid rates. There should be a
:19:56. > :20:01.sliding scale. To get people in, you have to reduce the cost. How do you
:20:02. > :20:06.go at from one shop to 836? It is all about passion. We are all
:20:07. > :20:12.passionate about what we do and how we do it and the honesty that runs
:20:13. > :20:16.through it. It is nice to be at a snack while you eat. My favourite
:20:17. > :20:20.which they never bring up is the chocolate that we use in the massage
:20:21. > :20:26.bath. Our factory looks like a grocer store. When Helen goes across
:20:27. > :20:32.to the flower shop, the lady says you're not going to rip their heads
:20:33. > :20:35.of these flowers, are you? What I'm going to do is read your mood for
:20:36. > :20:40.how you are feeling, your emotions at this moment in time. I want you

:20:47. > :20:54.that jump out at you. What you have done is revealed your emotions. So
:20:55. > :20:59.we will have a bit of magic. I know what you are already. Look at that.
:21:00. > :21:04.Decisive, passionate and motivation. They are great. You have to be
:21:05. > :21:11.motivated, you must make decisions, but maybe it is too early. Away from
:21:12. > :21:17.work, Mark is often near the water, indulgent ashlar indulging his other
:21:18. > :21:21.passion, bird. I love the birds you get along here, the birds who are
:21:22. > :21:26.breeding here. So does that mean that Lush will stay firmly rooted in
:21:27. > :21:31.Dorset? Lowest crime rate in Britain, the warmest climate, people
:21:32. > :21:40.lived the longest, there are three good reasons to be here. And we plan
:21:41. > :21:44.to live here for a long time. Decisive, motivated, passionate, I'm
:21:45. > :21:46.so pleased that she did not read my mood.
:21:47. > :21:49.It's been a fascinating series this week, from Burberry to B, from
:21:50. > :21:53.Rolls Royce to Lush. All with stories rooted in the south. And if
:21:54. > :21:56.you want to see any of David's "behind the brands" films again,
:21:57. > :22:02.then they are all on our Facebook page.
:22:03. > :22:06.On the whole, we've enjoyed a pretty good year weather wise, with months
:22:07. > :22:09.of mild conditions. But this has caused a bit of a storm for
:22:10. > :22:13.hedgehogs. So much so, it's feared many won't make it through the
:22:14. > :22:18.winter. Laura Trant has been to a Berkshire rescue centre to find out
:22:19. > :22:23.why hedgehogs need our help. Despite appearing warm and cosy, these baby
:22:24. > :22:27.hedgehogs are facing a prickly prospects. A knock on effect of the
:22:28. > :22:32.hot summer and the mild autumn is that litters of hedgehogs are being
:22:33. > :22:35.bought books `` born later than normal. It is they are too small and
:22:36. > :22:45.don't have enough body fat to survive hibernation. He is action,
:22:46. > :22:51.this lady runs a hedgehog hospital. We are getting a lot more of these
:22:52. > :22:54.little guys in who are two or three weeks old, we would not normally
:22:55. > :22:58.expect to see them and they won't make it through the winter. Of
:22:59. > :23:03.course, instead of coming in in ones and twos, they are coming in in
:23:04. > :23:10.litters of sixes and sevens. They were recently noticed `` voted
:23:11. > :23:16.Britain's's National animal. Back in 1955, there were 35 and Ian often,
:23:17. > :23:19.now there are fewer than 1 million. If you find anything that is small
:23:20. > :23:24.or outs during the day, it is in trouble and will need help.
:23:25. > :23:29.Particularly the smaller ones. This little one weighs about 100 grams.
:23:30. > :23:32.They need to be at least 600 grams to survive hibernation, so at this
:23:33. > :23:39.time of year, we are taking in anything under 650 grams and they
:23:40. > :23:44.will stay with us until the spring. On average, only one in five
:23:45. > :23:48.hedgehogs survive, so if you find a baby hedgehog in your garden, the
:23:49. > :23:57.advice is to give it a dish of water and contact your nearest wildlife
:23:58. > :24:05.rescue centre. You have to check your bin fires `` bonfires. Yes, you
:24:06. > :24:09.do. In fact, that is what is happening this weekend. And it is
:24:10. > :24:14.not looking like good weather for it. A lot of people are having it on
:24:15. > :24:19.Saturday night, a bit windy, very windy, in fact and rain on the way.
:24:20. > :24:23.If you are and `` out and about, there will be rain and strong winds.
:24:24. > :24:25.We do have some weather pictures for you.
:24:26. > :24:27.Here's a picture of the cross`channel ferry approaching
:24:28. > :24:30.Portsmouth Harbour in the bright spells today, captured by Maureen
:24:31. > :24:34.Coles. Never mind the drizzly rain this morning, it's just water off a
:24:35. > :24:37.duck's back, photo by Raymond Slack in Guildford. And this fallow stag
:24:38. > :24:44.was captured by Joanna Cleeve from Midhurst in West Sussex. We have
:24:45. > :24:50.some strong winds on the cards over the next few days, tonight the winds
:24:51. > :24:57.will fall light. We are expecting outbreaks of rain in some places.
:24:58. > :25:00.Most places will have light on moderate rain, clearing some areas
:25:01. > :25:04.by dawn. Where we do have clear spells, perhaps the winds will fall
:25:05. > :25:09.light fare and we may have similar temperatures. Those of nine or 13
:25:10. > :25:14.Celsius, a mild nights to come. A wet start for some, we are expecting
:25:15. > :25:18.a dry period for we see a band of rain moving its way in from the
:25:19. > :25:22.south`west. This rain, we are keeping an eye on it, it could be
:25:23. > :25:29.heavy and persistent. The winds start to pick up and just along the
:25:30. > :25:35.South coast could be up to 60 mph. Temperatures around average for this
:25:36. > :25:40.time of year, highs of 13 or 15 Celsius. Keeping a nigh on this area
:25:41. > :25:44.of rain, gusts of 60 mph, the Met Office have a yellow warning in
:25:45. > :25:50.force. It clears through the course of tomorrow night, so from which ``
:25:51. > :25:55.midnight onwards it will allow the temperatures to drop down into six
:25:56. > :25:59.figures `` single figures. A dry start to the day on Saturday. Some
:26:00. > :26:03.bright spells to be had. That is before the next area of low pressure
:26:04. > :26:10.swings in from the Atlantique. You can see the squeeze on the isobars.
:26:11. > :26:17.We will have spells of rain or heavy showers at times. We are keeping a
:26:18. > :26:23.close eye on the `` that, gusts of 70 `` 60 mph and inland gusts of 40
:26:24. > :26:28.or 50 mph. If you are heading out and about on Saturday, go prepared,
:26:29. > :26:34.it will be windy and coastal deals on Saturday, rain showers over the
:26:35. > :26:38.weekend, but some sunshine to be had, more on Saturday morning and on
:26:39. > :26:43.Sunday, there will be blustery showers about. Further rain that
:26:44. > :26:49.could be on the heavy side, Sunday night into Monday.
:26:50. > :26:52.A collection of colourful rhinos that adorned the streets of
:26:53. > :26:55.Southampton over the summer has raised almost ?125,000 for charity.
:26:56. > :26:58.36 of the sculptures were auctioned off last night. The rhinos were
:26:59. > :27:00.created to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Marwell Zoo near
:27:01. > :27:07.Winchester. Most fetched between ?2,000 and ?3,000. Top price was for
:27:08. > :27:16.Flossy here in green and white. She attracted a winning bid of ?9,000. I
:27:17. > :27:20.don't know why, but it is fabulous, so well done to all of those who
:27:21. > :27:24.enjoyed the auction. Just before we go, here is a quick
:27:25. > :27:27.mention about a special Children in Need event that's on at the
:27:28. > :27:29.Mayflower in Southampton. This Sunday, the pop legend Jason
:27:30. > :27:33.Donovan, Nigel Harman from Eastenders and Downton Abbey and
