:00:00. > :00:00.from the Atlantic. Thank you very much. That's it from us.
:00:00. > :00:10.Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme:
:00:11. > :00:13.Recruiting on the road from Romania. Lorry drivers are being brought to
:00:14. > :00:19.here because there aren't enough British truckers. There is a
:00:20. > :00:22.shortage of professional and experienced drivers in this
:00:23. > :00:25.country. Flooded out ` as homes remain
:00:26. > :00:33.submerged, there are warnings river levels could rise further this
:00:34. > :00:39.weekend. We're stuck on the first floor of our house. We normally go
:00:40. > :00:42.out and walk a lot so we need to keep the exercise up. Keep the
:00:43. > :00:45.spirits up, as well. Welcome home for a late Christmas ` the crew of
:00:46. > :00:51.HMS Illustrious returns from helping the relief effort in the
:00:52. > :00:56.Philippines. Those people needed aid more than we
:00:57. > :01:00.needed Christmas. It was nice to get involved and change people's lives.
:01:01. > :01:01.And is it match ready? The groundsmen battling to keep the
:01:02. > :01:15.fixture list alive. A Dorset company has travelled to
:01:16. > :01:18.Romania to speak to lorry drivers about coming to work in the South,
:01:19. > :01:22.because it can't find British workers to take the jobs. It's
:01:23. > :01:26.estimated there's a shortage of more than 40,000 drivers. It's been ten
:01:27. > :01:28.days since Britain removed restrictions on the labour market,
:01:29. > :01:35.giving unlimited access to Romanian and Bulgarian citizens who wish to
:01:36. > :01:38.work here. Frankie Peck reports. The jobs are there ` but
:01:39. > :01:47.difficulties in filling them took Richard on a trip to Eastern Europe.
:01:48. > :01:49.He runs a recruitment agency that specialises in supplying temporary
:01:50. > :01:55.drivers for large and heavy goods vehicles. Most of the guys who came
:01:56. > :01:59.to our hesitation are already driving all over Europe, not just
:02:00. > :02:02.Romania. They go travelling for weeks and months so a lot of them
:02:03. > :02:06.are very experienced in the same types of vehicles. We are trying to
:02:07. > :02:11.source people locally, as well, but trying to fulfil all of the work we
:02:12. > :02:22.have means we will need to look elsewhere. There are currently 2.39
:02:23. > :02:26.million unemployed in the UK, with 266,000 people from our region.
:02:27. > :02:32.Nationally, 1.27 million people are aiming job`seeker's allowance.
:02:33. > :02:34.Politically, this is a big issue. With European and local elections
:02:35. > :02:40.coming up in me, it's one that all parties must tackle. We have no
:02:41. > :02:46.problem with Romanians, Eastern European is, anybody who wants to
:02:47. > :02:49.work. The fact is, we have nearly 2.5 million people unemployed and 7
:02:50. > :02:55.million adult economically inactive. What any country needs is a
:02:56. > :03:00.government that will look after its own people first. Bulgaria and
:03:01. > :03:04.Romania joined the EU in 2007, enabling their citizens to travel
:03:05. > :03:10.without abuser to the UK. But there were restrictions on them taking low
:03:11. > :03:18.skilled jobs. `` with out any of the user. I've got nothing against
:03:19. > :03:23.people coming to work in the UK who have got jobs to come to. The big
:03:24. > :03:27.problem is that people may be coming here speculatively to get jobs and
:03:28. > :03:34.end up in dependent upon our welfare state. There is a loophole in the
:03:35. > :03:37.law that enables unscrupulous employers and agencies to bring
:03:38. > :03:43.people in from abroad and pay them less than the going rate ` indeed,
:03:44. > :03:48.less than the minimum wage in some circumstances ` for the job they're
:03:49. > :03:51.doing. Richard pays the going rate and says the only reason he has to
:03:52. > :03:57.go abroad is because he can't find people locally. It's shameful,
:03:58. > :04:02.really. A lot of the people who applied for the work don't read the
:04:03. > :04:08.jobs facilitation. I've had people e`mail applying for a job as an HGV
:04:09. > :04:11.driver without even a car licence. The government has made no
:04:12. > :04:14.predictions about how many Bulgar Aryans and Romanians they think will
:04:15. > :04:23.come to the UK. The actual numbers won't be published for a few months.
:04:24. > :04:28.`` Bulgar Aryans. The Freight Transport Association
:04:29. > :04:32.says despite the lack of privacy, reporting from overseas won't
:04:33. > :04:37.comprise safety standards. It is a shame that we can't source the
:04:38. > :04:42.drivers we need within Britain but it is quite right, I think, that
:04:43. > :04:47.enterprising agencies are able to find ways of meeting this need and
:04:48. > :04:57.making the best use of our membership of the EU in this way.
:04:58. > :05:01.Certainly, employers would be wanting to ensure that these drivers
:05:02. > :05:05.have a knowledge of the rules. Large goods vehicles are very expensive
:05:06. > :05:08.items of equipment. You wouldn't want to be just handing over the
:05:09. > :05:10.keys to someone you weren't confident could handle the vehicle
:05:11. > :05:16.and was aware of their legal responsibilities. So I'm confident
:05:17. > :05:22.all these checks are in place. As much as the South continues to `` as
:05:23. > :05:25.much of the South continues to experience the blizzard flooding,
:05:26. > :05:30.experts say that Chalke has made it vulnerable. Many areas are
:05:31. > :05:37.experiencing ground water flooding. A group of agencies are helping
:05:38. > :05:42.people prepare for the worst. This is what happens when water has
:05:43. > :05:46.nowhere else to go. Many roads in north Dorset have turned into
:05:47. > :05:50.temporary rivers. The build`up of surface water aggravated by the
:05:51. > :05:54.recent heavy rainfall. The streams and rivers are at full capacity. As
:05:55. > :06:00.cars struggle to pass, residents have their own concerns. Derek's
:06:01. > :06:06.home has flooded three times in the last 13 years. His solution `
:06:07. > :06:12.investing thousands of pounds in an underground drainage system. We've
:06:13. > :06:19.invested in French drains and pumps and hoses, as you can see. We've
:06:20. > :06:23.managed to give ourselves dry this time but only because of preparation
:06:24. > :06:28.and experience. Of the biggest problem the villagers are drivers.
:06:29. > :06:35.The aspect of people driving through the Village, causing problems by
:06:36. > :06:39.driving through. Try and use diversions and if the road is
:06:40. > :06:44.closed, support the community and don't drive through the villages.
:06:45. > :06:49.So, why do we get flooding even when it's raining? As the rain stops,
:06:50. > :06:53.you've still got water stored in the soil and the ground beneath the
:06:54. > :06:56.rocks. That's slowly draining away and it is much slower so even though
:06:57. > :07:01.the rain switches off, the rain comes pouring from those sources
:07:02. > :07:06.into the watercourses and it maintains the height. In Hampshire,
:07:07. > :07:10.Jennifer hasn't been directly affected by the flood water, even
:07:11. > :07:15.though she lives right next to the river. Her issue is the overspill of
:07:16. > :07:19.sewage, caused by the pumping station being overwhelmed in the
:07:20. > :07:23.heavy rain. It's sewage combined with surface water and the whole
:07:24. > :07:27.thing gets overwhelmed and we get all this coming through our houses.
:07:28. > :07:32.Its is thought some areas could take up to a week before surface water
:07:33. > :07:38.completely disappears but that also depends on the good fortune of the
:07:39. > :07:42.weather. Rail engineers have been working
:07:43. > :07:47.round the clock to prepare fast `` repair vast areas of truck washed
:07:48. > :07:50.away by the floods. Many services are still suspended and further
:07:51. > :07:55.engineering work this weekend means very limited services to Gatwick and
:07:56. > :07:57.London Victoria. 600 tonnes of Alistair been shipped to the Isle of
:07:58. > :08:03.Wight, where Caroline Richardson begins her report. `` ballast have
:08:04. > :08:09.been shipped. The engineers are inching along the
:08:10. > :08:14.track. Further along, the wash`out is even more pronounced. We've got
:08:15. > :08:19.20 sites that have been washed away, the worst it's ever been on
:08:20. > :08:24.the island. The tunnel is flooded and the depot was flooded with two
:08:25. > :08:27.trains underwater. All the electrics samba signalling and points have to
:08:28. > :08:31.be checked and replaced. They are waterproof to an extent but some
:08:32. > :08:39.were submerged for days. Steel bars have been installed to help prevent
:08:40. > :08:42.further erosion. Reinforcements put in after the last floods withstood
:08:43. > :08:48.the recent deluge well, so why wasn't there more investment before
:08:49. > :08:53.the Christmas floods? This is 150 years old. The standards 150 years
:08:54. > :08:57.ago were very different from how we would build things today. It would
:08:58. > :09:01.cost hundreds of millions of pounds to do the whole line the way we are
:09:02. > :09:04.doing it here so it's about focusing the money we have in the areas where
:09:05. > :09:12.we get the most value for money. In Oxfordshire, flooding forced this
:09:13. > :09:14.train company to cancel many services this morning and there is a
:09:15. > :09:24.reduced service between Didcot Harkaway and Oxford. Access to
:09:25. > :09:32.Gatwick will be disrupted by engineering work this weekend. Back
:09:33. > :09:37.on the Isle of Wight, another one tonne bag drops into place. The
:09:38. > :09:40.engineers are one week into their repair schedule and so far, they've
:09:41. > :09:46.laid more than 250 tonnes of ballast. They are half a day in
:09:47. > :09:53.ahead of schedule so they should be finished by the 25th of January.
:09:54. > :09:57.On the Sunday Politics at 11 o'clock, Peter Henley will be asking
:09:58. > :10:01.whether the compensation scheme for local councils is adequate or
:10:02. > :10:05.whether local taxpayers will end up paying. And there's also a flooding
:10:06. > :10:07.special on Inside Out on Monday evening.
:10:08. > :10:10.The helicopter carrier HMS Illustrious returned to Portsmouth
:10:11. > :10:13.today with her crew receiving high praise from a Government minister
:10:14. > :10:17.for their role in the typhoon relief effort in the Philippines. The ship
:10:18. > :10:21.played a vital role in getting supplies and medical assistance to
:10:22. > :10:24.islands badly hit by Typhoon Haiyan. The crew of almost 1,000 missed
:10:25. > :10:31.Christmas at home after being sent to the Philippines. From Steve
:10:32. > :10:37.Humphrey was on board Illustrious as she sailed into Portsmouth.
:10:38. > :10:42.HMS Illustrious has come home after helping to save lives on the other
:10:43. > :10:47.side of the world. She's travelled 36,000 miles in 152 days, after
:10:48. > :10:51.being sent to help victims of the typhoon that struck the Philippines.
:10:52. > :10:56.The crew should have been home in time for Christmas but today, HMS
:10:57. > :11:00.Illustrious sailed through a rainbow into Portsmouth Harbour, and the
:11:01. > :11:02.sailors got an extra special welcome back from thousands of people on the
:11:03. > :11:15.dockside. It's been really good to help the
:11:16. > :11:21.people in the Philippines. It's been really worth it. They didn't have a
:11:22. > :11:27.house to go to so be able to go out and help them was really good. We
:11:28. > :11:31.had a job to do and family and friends are all very good and
:11:32. > :11:35.understand and, of course, we just get on with the job. The
:11:36. > :11:40.humanitarian relief mission in the further beans meant one sailor had
:11:41. > :11:45.to delay his marriage proposal. Those people needed aid more than we
:11:46. > :11:49.needed Christmas so it was nice to get involved and help change
:11:50. > :11:55.people's lives. HMS Illustrious spent three weeks in the
:11:56. > :11:57.Philippines, develop thing `` delivering emergency supplies to
:11:58. > :12:03.communities devastated by Typhoon Haiyan. Medic Rachel Peel was
:12:04. > :12:07.amongst those who went to help. It was daunting at the start but when
:12:08. > :12:13.you got there it was amazing to see how happy people were to see us. The
:12:14. > :12:16.ship was carrying out anti`piracy controls in mid`November when it was
:12:17. > :12:21.ordered to go to the Philippines instead of coming home for
:12:22. > :12:27.Christmas. Having seen the images on board of what was going on, so many
:12:28. > :12:30.of my team said, Christmas is one day. We can have Christmas any time.
:12:31. > :12:35.It's more important to help these people. The Armed Forces minister
:12:36. > :12:41.said the whole country should be proud of HMS Illustrious and her
:12:42. > :12:47.group. `` crew. We had a shipped halfway round the world and then
:12:48. > :12:50.there was a disaster and a British crew helped and saved lives. HMS
:12:51. > :12:54.Illustrious is coming to the end of her naval career. She was rushed
:12:55. > :12:58.into service in 1982, during the Falklands war, and will be
:12:59. > :13:03.decommissioned at the end of this year.
:13:04. > :13:06.Police investigating the death of a Bournemouth man in the town have
:13:07. > :13:11.released CCTV images of potential witnesses. Detectives want to speak
:13:12. > :13:15.to these eleven people. It's in connection with the death of forty
:13:16. > :13:19.year old Andrew Young outside the Tesco Metro on Charminster Road on
:13:20. > :13:22.the 6th of November last year. Lewis Gill, who's 20 and from Croydon, has
:13:23. > :13:26.already been charged with manslaughter.
:13:27. > :13:29.Council tax for the average Band D household in Hampshire should
:13:30. > :13:34.increase by ?4.50 a year to fill police funding gaps, according to
:13:35. > :13:37.the county's PCC. Hampshire Police and Crime Commissioner Simon Hayes
:13:38. > :13:43.says ?25 million of cuts to the force are expected for 2015`17. This
:13:44. > :13:52.equates to around 555 officers. He's now asking the public for their
:13:53. > :13:55.views on the proposed change. Funding for the new Forest national
:13:56. > :14:00.park will be cut next year by just over 2%. The park authority says it
:14:01. > :14:03.planned for the grant reduction and has been making savings. It's also
:14:04. > :14:10.recently secured millions of pounds of funding from other sources.
:14:11. > :14:18.Still to come: Battling with the fixtures ` the local football clubs
:14:19. > :14:23.hit by the bad weather. Let's stay with that bad weather. We
:14:24. > :14:28.have more on the flooding. It continues to affect the South of
:14:29. > :14:32.England and a river in Berks reached its highest ever level last night.
:14:33. > :14:36.The River Thames could rise further overnight in places, though it's not
:14:37. > :14:40.expected to exceed the levels of 2003. People whose homes are flooded
:14:41. > :14:45.are still living with neighbours and friends, while others are moving
:14:46. > :14:50.upstairs. Overnight, it has covered the step
:14:51. > :14:55.and it is approaching the next step. A couple of inches. Most people
:14:56. > :14:59.living near the Thames here in Purley are stoic about the floods.
:15:00. > :15:03.It has happened before and will happen again. We deal with it. It's
:15:04. > :15:07.a beautiful area and this isn't an everyday occurrence. It's happening
:15:08. > :15:13.more often, yes, but not enough to make us move out. We have moved all
:15:14. > :15:18.the stuff that was on the ground floor to upstairs and I think we've
:15:19. > :15:22.saved all the valuable stuff. We're stuck on the first floor of our
:15:23. > :15:26.house. We normally go out and walk a lot and we swim a lot so I think we
:15:27. > :15:32.need to keep the exercise up. Keep the spirits up, as well! Once you go
:15:33. > :15:36.out, once you have the waders, you might as well make the most of it.
:15:37. > :15:40.Traffic is heavy because this bridge has been closed for days. These
:15:41. > :15:45.residents are supposed to be meeting their local MP but he's on the other
:15:46. > :15:48.side of the floodwater. Here, the flashing signs have been out of
:15:49. > :15:51.action since the electric sweat underwater. There are plenty of
:15:52. > :15:58.other warning signs which drivers are ignoring. I've never seen it as
:15:59. > :16:03.high as this and we are very worried about the vehicle of `` behaviour of
:16:04. > :16:07.some of our drivers. This is what happens when you ignore a series of
:16:08. > :16:16.signs telling you it's closed. The road to the pub is not impossible.
:16:17. > :16:22.2007 was the highest. This year, we admit by three inches. But the fire
:16:23. > :16:29.service are using the floodwater to AMP down this fire which has been
:16:30. > :16:32.burning for two days. This river is covering the field after field. It
:16:33. > :16:37.has dropped a couple of centimetres since last night but it reached its
:16:38. > :16:44.highest ever level then, a whopping three metres deep. The flood warning
:16:45. > :16:51.here, as in places in Berks, is still in force.
:16:52. > :16:56.Sarah will be here with the detailed forecast later.
:16:57. > :17:07.Southampton said farewell to a grand old lady today. The Saga Ruby was
:17:08. > :17:14.the last cruise ship to be built in Britain, more than 40 years ago.
:17:15. > :17:18.Paul Clifton reports. In recent years, Saga Ruby has
:17:19. > :17:27.specialised in older passengers. The last ones went to show this morning.
:17:28. > :17:34.Over 100 nights, we think. Why have you spent time here? It's a
:17:35. > :17:37.fantastic ship. Probably the last of the real cruising ships, as opposed
:17:38. > :17:49.to cruising ferries that have been converted. In her heyday, she had a
:17:50. > :17:54.different name. This ship offers a classic experience. She was one of
:17:55. > :17:59.the world's top cruise ships. She is well renowned for her well known on
:18:00. > :18:03.beyond. This shows how the operating company targeted wealthy American
:18:04. > :18:13.passengers in search of European style. She was the last passenger
:18:14. > :18:17.ship looked on the River Tyne, launched at the Swan Hunter shipyard
:18:18. > :18:25.in 1972. The ship outlived her birthplace. The last cranes have
:18:26. > :18:32.long since been removed. This woman began her career as a junior officer
:18:33. > :18:37.on board. Today, she is Cunard's only female captain. I remember
:18:38. > :18:42.seeing her and I thought she was a really big ship. But since I been a
:18:43. > :18:46.captain on here, we've met her in various ports, seen her alongside,
:18:47. > :18:53.and she's small compared to this one. Worldwide, only a handful of
:18:54. > :18:58.trips like this are left. She's quite an old lady now, over 40 years
:18:59. > :19:04.old. The equivalent is that she should be expecting a telegram from
:19:05. > :19:09.the Queen, in shipping years! Of the ship's future lies in Burma. She
:19:10. > :19:14.will now head to the far east, to become a static floating hotel.
:19:15. > :19:21.There are similar plans for the bigger, more famous cousin, the QE2.
:19:22. > :19:26.From today, this ship's cruising days are over.
:19:27. > :19:30.On to sport now and the weather has had a major impact on sports clubs
:19:31. > :19:33.during the past month. Tony's here and we've dipped into the world of
:19:34. > :19:36.non`league football tonight, Tony. We have, because the grassroots
:19:37. > :19:39.effectively flooded over the last few weeks. The wet weather has
:19:40. > :19:42.decimated the local sports programme in recent weeks. This was the scene
:19:43. > :19:45.at Abingdon Town football club this week, as floodwaters swamped the
:19:46. > :19:49.surface. They don't plan on playing again there for ten weeks, at a cost
:19:50. > :19:53.to the club of ?10,000. That's perhaps the most extreme case of a
:19:54. > :19:56.club being affected, but I've been to Wessex League leaders Sholing
:19:57. > :19:59.today to find out how they've coped as more than double the average
:20:00. > :20:10.amount of rain fell on their pitches last month coinciding with
:20:11. > :20:14.football's festive period. The football club's nickname is the
:20:15. > :20:19.boatmen and at times in recent weeks, a boat might have helped
:20:20. > :20:23.here. Thankfully, this is the practice ground around the stadium
:20:24. > :20:28.but the pitch itself has had a battering, too. I've been here for
:20:29. > :20:31.14 years and this is the worst it's ever been. I came up on Saturday and
:20:32. > :20:36.the whole pitch was covered with water. I don't know if its climate
:20:37. > :20:40.change or what but it's not doing our non`league foot will any good.
:20:41. > :20:44.The pitch has held out pretty well during the recent bad weather but
:20:45. > :20:49.they still lost two matches to the rain and that comes at a cost `
:20:50. > :20:52.things like unsold programmes and the time and effort of organisers
:20:53. > :20:59.and volunteers who put the games on here. The main job for me is lining
:21:00. > :21:05.the pitch and if it is raining, you can't do it. It would just wash
:21:06. > :21:10.away. You've got to wait until the showers go maybe come back another
:21:11. > :21:16.day. Keep an eye on whether all the time. There are more radical for

:21:29. > :21:36.going to affect non`league foot all and have a massive impact. It will
:21:37. > :21:41.be frustrating for everybody. For now, clubs like this will just want
:21:42. > :21:44.to see a lot more of this. It actually started raining about
:21:45. > :21:46.ten minutes after we shot those pictures in the sunshine!
:21:47. > :21:49.Sholing take on Bemerton Heath tomorrow, three o'clock kick off.

:22:03. > :22:06.Reading boss Nigel Adkins has admitted his side has fallen off the
:22:07. > :22:09.pace as they prepare to face Watford tomorrow. The Royals' promotion
:22:10. > :22:12.ambitions are being tempered for now by ongoing takeover talks at the
:22:13. > :22:15.Madejski Stadium, which has cast doubt on whether Adkins can
:22:16. > :22:17.strengthen his side, or see it weakened by player sales.
:22:18. > :22:19.Elsewhere in the championship, Bournemouth go to Wigan.
:22:20. > :22:23.Playoff`chasing Brighton are at home to Birmingham. Both MK Dons and

:22:45. > :22:47.is back on the slopes in his first major competition since recovering

:22:52. > :22:54.snow boarder to complete this triple rodeo trick, was the top qualifier
:22:55. > :23:03.at the Breckenridge Grand Prix in Colorado. I never tire of watching
:23:04. > :23:06.that! Elsewhere this weekend, London Irish
:23:07. > :23:09.are in European Challenge Cup action. After last week's
:23:10. > :23:13.Premiership win over Worcester, in which James O'Connor scored all 22

:23:35. > :23:39.The ice is a safe place to play sport this weekend ` no doubt those
:23:40. > :23:44.matches will go ahead! Last night we were sitting here with
:23:45. > :23:51.pine cones and a bit of old seaweed. We were forecasting quite well with
:23:52. > :23:55.those! But times have changed. Yes and we're celebrating a big birthday
:23:56. > :24:03.` 60 years of weather forecasts on the BBC. George Cowling first
:24:04. > :24:09.presented the Invision TV forecast on January 11, 1954. In the early
:24:10. > :24:15.days, the charts were hand drawn. Symbols were introduced in 1967, as
:24:16. > :24:19.colour TV arrived. The magnetic symbols would sometimes fall of
:24:20. > :24:24.mid`forecast. Then we got to computerised graphics in 1985. And
:24:25. > :24:30.by 2005, we started using the ones you see in your forecast today. Of
:24:31. > :24:36.the magnetic ones just kept coming off!
:24:37. > :24:38.The weather has been beautiful to start
:24:39. > :24:43.What a glorious start to the day in Emsworth. Nature at its best
:24:44. > :24:45.according to Martin Stewart, who sent in that photo.
:24:46. > :24:47.This scene shows a gorgeous reflection in the flooded meadows
:24:48. > :24:50.around Salisbury Cathedral. Thank you, Tony Oliver, for that one.
:24:51. > :24:53.And another beautiful reflection of today's weather taken in
:24:54. > :24:58.Christchurch, Oxford, by Caroline Davis.
:24:59. > :25:01.We have got some more wet weather to come through this evening. Not great
:25:02. > :25:06.amounts but we are expecting to see more rain and any rain at this stage
:25:07. > :25:12.is unwelcome. Cloudy conditions bring the patchy rain through the
:25:13. > :25:19.course of the night. It's sweeping eastwards and behind it, clear skies
:25:20. > :25:26.developed. We have an ice risk where we see the skies clearing, so very
:25:27. > :25:32.chilly temperatures. At some frost first thing tomorrow. A cloudy start
:25:33. > :25:37.for eastern parts but first thing, some brightness around and tomorrow
:25:38. > :25:42.is a lovely January day. Sparkling sunshine, some blue skies and light
:25:43. > :25:48.winds. Temperatures about where they should be for the time of year.
:25:49. > :25:51.Tomorrow night, we'll start to see Misty, murky conditions developing.
:25:52. > :25:56.Some patchy fog could prove to be rather dense and we see the club
:25:57. > :26:07.again to move in despite initial frost. `` cloud begin to move in. A
:26:08. > :26:11.murky start for Sunday. This is what we've got to expect for Sunday. We
:26:12. > :26:16.start with dry conditions, cloudy and damp, but a band of rain arrives
:26:17. > :26:22.into the evening period so a grey day with some dampness and then a
:26:23. > :26:24.band of rain working its way in. 10`50 millimetres through the
:26:25. > :26:32.overnight period, roughly half an inch. Here's your summary for the
:26:33. > :26:37.coming days. A warning for icy conditions first thing on Saturday
:26:38. > :26:41.but some good sunshine. Cloudy, murky conditions for Sunday with
:26:42. > :26:46.rain overnight, and some scattered showers for the new working week.
:26:47. > :26:51.A quick word about some features on South Today next week. Here's Paul
:26:52. > :26:55.Clifton to talk about car manufacturers.
:26:56. > :27:00.Did you know cars used to be built on the Isle of Wight? 40 years ago,
:27:01. > :27:05.battery`powered city car was revolutionary. Well, we found one
:27:06. > :27:14.and we'll need to the man who designed it. Much older is this `
:27:15. > :27:18.Salisbury's Scout. There are only two left in the world. They made
:27:19. > :27:25.buses, too, but they've all gone. Here's my favourite ` it was built
:27:26. > :27:30.in Eastleigh. This is the most gorgeous car.
:27:31. > :27:38.You can see more of Paul Clifton's love affair next week! Did he ever
:27:39. > :27:41.get out of it, I wonder? That's it for now. Have a great
:27:42. > :27:45.weekend, particularly if you've got the floods around you. Good eye. ``
:27:46. > :28:13.goodbye. A tenth of a second
:28:14. > :28:32.could be the difference
