:00:00. > :00:08.shaking your head. That is horrible. That is all from the
:00:09. > :00:14.Hello. I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme:
:00:15. > :00:17.A motorcyclist and a horse die in a crash on this road. Thousands of
:00:18. > :00:23.people were stuck for six hours in tailbacks.
:00:24. > :00:25.Increasing costs in childcare. What effect will the Government's new
:00:26. > :00:29.proposals have? As the Cherries prepare to meet
:00:30. > :00:33.Liverpool in the FA Cup, we hear from a certain young player the last
:00:34. > :00:37.time they met. Certainly different from the average division two game.
:00:38. > :00:41.Four. And how Ten Ton Tess, the biggest
:00:42. > :00:53.bomb of the Second World War, made its mark on the New Forest.
:00:54. > :00:57.The Independent Police Complaints Commission is to examine the way
:00:58. > :01:00.Hampshire police handled a fatal traffic accident last night in which
:01:01. > :01:06.a motorcyclist died and motorists were left gridlocked. The accident
:01:07. > :01:10.happened on the A31, one of the main routes across the New Forest. Two
:01:11. > :01:19.motorcyclists collided with a horse on the carriageway at Pickett's Post
:01:20. > :01:23.near Ringwood. Thousands of vehicles were trapped for up to seven hours
:01:24. > :01:27.on a section of the road back to Cadnam because there was no way of
:01:28. > :01:30.getting off the carriageway. The police said they were having to deal
:01:31. > :01:33.with a very complicated scene and disruption was inevitable. Let's
:01:34. > :01:38.cross to Steve Humphrey who's at the scene.
:01:39. > :01:42.Drivers have been raising a series of questions about the way Hampshire
:01:43. > :01:50.police handled the aftermath of the fatal collision here on the A31. One
:01:51. > :01:56.aspect of the handling of the incident husband referred to the
:01:57. > :02:02.Independent Police Complaints Commission. It is one of the
:02:03. > :02:06.South's busiest a roads. Yesterday evening there was a collision near
:02:07. > :02:12.Pickett's Post services involving the new Forest pony and two
:02:13. > :02:17.motorcyclists. There is no way of getting on or off the A31 or turning
:02:18. > :02:24.around on this stretch. Long tailbacks built up, and some drivers
:02:25. > :02:28.were trapped for many hours. I was trapped for probably about six and a
:02:29. > :02:33.half hours, from 5.45 until midnight in an area that was pitch black with
:02:34. > :02:38.no mobile phone coverage, and people were just parking on the side of the
:02:39. > :02:43.road, wandering around, looking for information and trying to find out
:02:44. > :02:48.what was going on. Motorists say the traffic was stopped twice by
:02:49. > :02:55.Hampshire police after the first holder, traffic was allowed to move.
:02:56. > :02:59.It is believed it was at that stage that the motorcyclists collided with
:03:00. > :03:03.the animal. I think the police must've been looking for the horse,
:03:04. > :03:06.and that was when the two motorcycles went through, and there
:03:07. > :03:11.was a collision between the horse and the two motorcyclists. Questions
:03:12. > :03:15.have also been asked about the fencing at the side of the road that
:03:16. > :03:19.was put up to stop new Forest animals getting onto the road. The
:03:20. > :03:22.fencing is the responsibility of the Highways Agency, and it says it
:03:23. > :03:26.won't be making any comment until the police investigation is
:03:27. > :03:32.concluded. Steve, how have the police responded
:03:33. > :03:37.to these concerns? No one from Hampshire police has been put up for
:03:38. > :03:41.interview today, but the force has issued a very detailed and lengthy
:03:42. > :03:47.statement. A key section of it says that both of the motorcyclists were
:03:48. > :03:55.held in a queue while officers responded to reports of a pony being
:03:56. > :03:58.loose on the A31. It says officers were advising motorists to proceed
:03:59. > :04:03.with caution because of the possibility of an animal being on
:04:04. > :04:05.the carriageway. It is that element of the handling of the incident that
:04:06. > :04:11.has been referred to the police complaints commission. The inference
:04:12. > :04:15.is, were officers right to let traffic moved down the road while
:04:16. > :04:21.there was still a pony on the carriageway? The police say they
:04:22. > :04:24.understand the frustrations of the motorists caught on the road for
:04:25. > :04:28.several hours. They say efforts were made to move traffic as soon as
:04:29. > :04:33.possible after their investigation of the collision scene was
:04:34. > :04:39.completed. From the A31 on the new Forest, back to you, Sally.
:04:40. > :04:43.Steve, thank you. The son of Portsmouth MP Mike
:04:44. > :04:47.Hancock was arrested this morning after punching a news photographer
:04:48. > :04:50.outside his father's house. Media group gathered following Mr
:04:51. > :05:15.Hancocksuspension from the Liberal Democrat party after claims of
:05:16. > :05:19.sexual misconduct. In the eyes of the law they've paid
:05:20. > :05:21.their debt to society, but are people with criminal records being
:05:22. > :05:25.punished again by potential employers? Figures obtained by the
:05:26. > :05:28.BBC show nearly half of offenders in the South are unemployed at the end
:05:29. > :05:31.of their probation period. Now a woman from Southampton who was
:05:32. > :05:35.convicted of credit card fraud has told us more should be done to help
:05:36. > :05:37.ex`offenders find jobs. She spoke to our home affairs correspondent, Emma
:05:38. > :05:40.Vardy. At the time of my offence, it became
:05:41. > :05:43.more of an addiction, until it was too late. Years ago, Louise was
:05:44. > :05:46.convicted of ten counts of fraud. She stole more than ?30,000 from her
:05:47. > :05:55.employers using a company credit card. She was eventually caught and
:05:56. > :06:01.prosecuted. I was petrified. Very disappointed, very upset. Ashamed.
:06:02. > :06:04.She was given a suspended jail sentence, and ordered to do
:06:05. > :06:07.community service here at women's Wisdom, a project in Southampton
:06:08. > :06:12.that fundraisers for community schemes. When a full`time job came
:06:13. > :06:18.up, she applied, and is now helping manage the scheme she was one song.
:06:19. > :06:22.I honestly thought that I would find it extremely difficult to get back
:06:23. > :06:26.into work. I think they definitely needs to be a lot more support out
:06:27. > :06:31.there for ex`offenders. Many people make that one mistake, and then that
:06:32. > :06:37.is their whole career and livelihood hindered. The probation service says
:06:38. > :06:42.people are much less likely to reoffend if they can get into a
:06:43. > :06:45.job, but employers are entitled to do background checks before they
:06:46. > :06:49.hire someone. Lower`level convictions will show up on a
:06:50. > :06:52.persons record for five or ten years, but people who have committed
:06:53. > :06:57.more serious offences will have a criminal record for life.
:06:58. > :07:01.Figures obtained all by the BBC show that in the south, nearly half of
:07:02. > :07:06.offenders on probation or unemployed at the end of their probation
:07:07. > :07:10.period. In Hampshire, around one in ten offenders have committed another
:07:11. > :07:15.offence within six months. Around a quarter of all offenders reoffend
:07:16. > :07:19.within a year. There is a huge stigma around people
:07:20. > :07:23.who have committed offences. They feel isolated, and if they do go
:07:24. > :07:28.forward and try to gain work, they are knocked back, so it is working
:07:29. > :07:31.with employers and with the offenders in order to give that
:07:32. > :07:38.reassurance that those opportunities are there. Anybody with petty crimes
:07:39. > :07:41.deserve to be given a second chance. If they have multiple convictions,
:07:42. > :07:47.clearly they have decided to go down that path, and they would have to do
:07:48. > :07:50.an awful lot to earn respect. The Government says it is bringing in
:07:51. > :07:53.changes to the rehabilitation process to tackle problems like
:07:54. > :07:57.unemployment that lead to reoffending. For Louise, changing
:07:58. > :08:00.public perception is just as important. If we want to see more
:08:01. > :08:16.ex`offenders find work. The go`ahead for a secondary free
:08:17. > :08:19.school in Reading has been given by the Government. Free schools have
:08:20. > :08:22.greater freedom than council`run schools, and this one will be run by
:08:23. > :08:25.a successful academy in neighbouring Wokingham. The approval could see
:08:26. > :08:29.three free schools up and running in the town in the next few years,
:08:30. > :08:31.after the council revealed it could be short of hundreds of places. Ben
:08:32. > :08:35.Moore reports. An academy that is already rated
:08:36. > :08:39.outstanding will soon be tested as it opens a second school for 900
:08:40. > :08:46.pupils. I think the distinctiveness of our bid is that it meets parental
:08:47. > :08:53.demand. This is what parents say they want. We have had 900
:08:54. > :08:59.expressions of interest for 278 places for this school. Reading
:09:00. > :09:07.needs new schools. The council predicts a shortfall of nearly 500
:09:08. > :09:09.places by 2021. This school joins the already approved West Reading
:09:10. > :09:17.education network who want to redevelop this old school. But any
:09:18. > :09:21.new schools will need space, and lots of it. The old frontage of the
:09:22. > :09:29.Royal Berkshire Hospital was once mooted as a possible location for
:09:30. > :09:32.the made an early school. It proved controversial, but finding a site is
:09:33. > :09:36.not part of the bidding process. Because the depart for education who
:09:37. > :09:43.will decide ultimately where schools are located. There are three or four
:09:44. > :09:46.places I know they are looking at. The Royal Parks Hospital was one of
:09:47. > :09:51.them. That is made harder because it is a much bigger school, but the key
:09:52. > :09:53.is always good to be that we raise standards of education opportunity
:09:54. > :10:04.across Reading East. So with three new schools hoping to
:10:05. > :10:11.open their doors by 2017, it could prove academic.
:10:12. > :10:14.We stay with education. Parents at a special needs school in Surrey say
:10:15. > :10:16.they can't understand why the county council wants to close their
:10:17. > :10:20.children's well`established and respected school. The council wants
:10:21. > :10:23.to turn Gosden House near Guildford into a centre for children with
:10:24. > :10:26.autism. But parents question why that should be done at the expense
:10:27. > :10:29.of what they say is a truly outstanding school. James Ingham
:10:30. > :10:33.reports. Nine`year`old Anusha is one of a
:10:34. > :10:38.hundred pupils at Gosden House. Anna's another. She's just four, at
:10:39. > :10:41.the start of her journey through school. Like all pupils here, their
:10:42. > :10:45.complex learning disabilities are well catered for. The school's
:10:46. > :10:56.possible closure leaves their parents devastated. We spent a
:10:57. > :10:59.year, looked across six counties to try to find the right school for
:11:00. > :11:04.her, and this is the only one that came anywhere close, so I can say
:11:05. > :11:12.from all my research, it is unique and such a disaster that they can
:11:13. > :11:16.even be thinking about closing it. None of the other schools felt
:11:17. > :11:20.right. It is like when you buy a house, and you walk in and know that
:11:21. > :11:22.this is the house for you. We knew it was the right place for Anna.
:11:23. > :11:26.Surrey County Council says it's committed to supporting pupils liked
:11:27. > :11:29.these, but it has more places than it needs and not enough for pupils
:11:30. > :11:33.with autism, which is why it wants to change what's offered here.
:11:34. > :11:36.Parents understand that demand needs meeting, but ask why it should
:11:37. > :11:45.happen at the expense of their well`established school.
:11:46. > :11:51.This is a totally unique school in the whole county. Pupils come from
:11:52. > :11:55.all over the county and even outside the county just for this expertise.
:11:56. > :11:57.Why would we want to waste that, to throw it away?
:11:58. > :12:00.4,000 people have backed these parents, signing a petition
:12:01. > :12:03.demanding that the council scrap its plans. They say this outstanding
:12:04. > :12:05.school should be celebrated, its success built upon rather than
:12:06. > :12:21.destroyed. The shale gas mining company
:12:22. > :12:25.Cuadrilla has told residents of Balcombe in West Sussex that it will
:12:26. > :12:29.not be fracking now or in the future. In a letter to local people,
:12:30. > :12:31.the firm says that rock beneath the site is naturally fractured, so
:12:32. > :12:35.controversial fracking techniques will not be needed to extract shale
:12:36. > :12:39.oil there. It's submitted a new planning application to test the
:12:40. > :12:46.rate of oil flow from the site. Still to come: Testing Ten Ton Tess,
:12:47. > :12:58.how the Second World War's biggest bomb made an impact in the new
:12:59. > :13:01.Forest. Parents could be left out of pocket
:13:02. > :13:06.and childminders driven out of business, according to the
:13:07. > :13:09.childminder Association, who say that members will need to put prices
:13:10. > :13:12.up because of changes to the way that they are regulated. The
:13:13. > :13:17.Government wants to introduce childminding agencies, an idea being
:13:18. > :13:25.trialled in parts of Hampshire and Dorset. I have four children, so to
:13:26. > :13:29.fund for children in child care would be astronomical. We can't
:13:30. > :13:35.afford for me to work, which is ridiculous. It is too much to pay
:13:36. > :13:38.out. It is not worth working to get the money to go into childcare
:13:39. > :13:41.costs. If I didn't have family to provide childcare, it wouldn't worth
:13:42. > :13:52.me working. For these mums, childcare is a big
:13:53. > :13:56.part of the family budget. Childcare agencies will encourage more people
:13:57. > :14:00.to get into the business, said the Government, but those in the
:14:01. > :14:09.profession so they are not needed. How can a lower the cost of
:14:10. > :14:12.childcare who will `` if they are bringing in a middleman who will
:14:13. > :14:17.charge parents for using the agency and charging us for registering with
:14:18. > :14:22.us. We run on such low margins as it is, we don't make a lot of money.
:14:23. > :14:25.The Government insists these agencies will help childminders and
:14:26. > :14:28.take the pressure of local authorities who are currently
:14:29. > :14:31.responsible for ensuring childminders are registered with
:14:32. > :14:36.Ofsted and are abiding by health and safety standard. There wouldn't be
:14:37. > :14:40.any extra costs. We want people to be able to be independent
:14:41. > :14:45.childminders, and Ofsted are clear about that as well. What we do have
:14:46. > :14:50.is that we have an issue with not enough people joining the
:14:51. > :14:54.profession, and we need to find new ways of encouraging people to join.
:14:55. > :14:59.Childminders are not encouraged by assurances that they will remain
:15:00. > :15:01.independent. They don't know how it will impact them if they want to
:15:02. > :15:07.remain independent, and a lot of them do, because that is why they
:15:08. > :15:11.entered the profession, to become self`employed and be independent.
:15:12. > :15:15.Trials have taken place across the country to see how agencies would be
:15:16. > :15:19.set up. Bournemouth and Hampshire county council is will both chosen
:15:20. > :15:24.to pilot the scheme, but they wanted to wait until the trials were over
:15:25. > :15:26.before they commented. Children's charity is helping with coordinating
:15:27. > :15:31.the trials, and says that the new system is being refined. We don't
:15:32. > :15:36.want the cost of childcare to increase the parents at all, because
:15:37. > :15:41.we know that lots of parents are very stretched at the moment in
:15:42. > :15:44.terms of childcare costs. But we do need to ensure that the quality of
:15:45. > :15:47.childcare is high, and this is one way that it may be possible to do
:15:48. > :15:50.so. For parents and childminders alike,
:15:51. > :16:02.these changes to childcare provisions will be closely watched.
:16:03. > :16:06.Lecturers from the South's universities took part in a national
:16:07. > :16:10.two`hour walk`out today. It's part of an ongoing protest about pay.
:16:11. > :16:14.Unions have described the 1% offer on the table as miserly, and say it
:16:15. > :16:16.represents a 13% pay cut in real terms since October 2008. The
:16:17. > :16:28.employers say the offer is "sustainable, fair and final". An
:16:29. > :16:31.increasing number of cancer patients in rural parts of the South are able
:16:32. > :16:35.to get chemotherapy near their homes instead of having to travel to major
:16:36. > :16:37.hospitals. Berkshire is the latest county to take charge of a mobile
:16:38. > :16:40.chemotherapy unit. The quarter`of`a`million`pound treatment
:16:41. > :16:45.vehicle has been provided by a charity and will be run by NHS
:16:46. > :16:48.staff. Nikki Mitchell reports. Chemotherapy can involve a 60 mile
:16:49. > :16:53.round trip to the Royal Berkshire Hospital. Public transport can take
:16:54. > :16:57.hours, and driving comes with the inevitable stress of trying to park.
:16:58. > :17:07.But not any more. This huge treatment centre on wheels will be
:17:08. > :17:09.driving to patience instead. `` driving the patients. We will be
:17:10. > :17:17.using the unit to treat between ten and 15 patients per day.

:18:07. > :18:08.unit will treat people in Thatcher and Henley`on`Thames, but it is
:18:09. > :18:13.hoped to roll out as far as Hungerford in the future. And the

:18:20. > :18:27.Access to the mobile chemotherapy units for rural areas. Now, let's
:18:28. > :18:34.look ahead to the weekend, the FA Cup, and of course the Cherries.
:18:35. > :18:38.Bournemouth very excited, and those who could get tickets, national
:18:39. > :18:43.attention, it is all set up for a fantastic occasion. A nice little
:18:44. > :18:46.back story to this. I was looking at the archive
:18:47. > :18:53.images! One man we know well features.
:18:54. > :18:57.Bournemouth and Burton Albion fans struck up a rapport during the
:18:58. > :18:59.protracted third round tie, but the Cherries forged strong link with
:19:00. > :19:05.Liverpool at the turn`of`the`century. One young
:19:06. > :19:11.player that night certainly had some food for thought, which could come
:19:12. > :19:15.in very useful this weekend. As the teams ran out, 100 balloons
:19:16. > :19:20.drifted into the wintry sky, one for every year of football played by AFC
:19:21. > :19:23.Bournemouth. It was a centenary which Bournemouth nearly didn't
:19:24. > :19:27.reach. Three years before this night, the club have almost gone
:19:28. > :19:33.bust. They were saved by a landmark community takeover. It was packed
:19:34. > :19:44.for Liverpool's visit, and Gerard Houllier fielded a strong side.
:19:45. > :19:49.Bournemouth lost the Game 4`0. In the Cherries side, a talented young
:19:50. > :19:54.defender, learning fast. A great experience to play against
:19:55. > :19:55.world`class players like that. Certainly different from an average
:19:56. > :20:06.division two game. 14 years on, Eddie Howe would no
:20:07. > :20:11.doubt say the same to his players. Beyond the guard as the likes of
:20:12. > :20:16.Luis Suarez come through. We want the players to express themselves
:20:17. > :20:18.and show how good they are. And from my perspective, we have got to try
:20:19. > :20:23.to get the game right and try to make it tough for Liverpool.
:20:24. > :20:27.Those who help make the centenary game possible will no doubt share in
:20:28. > :20:31.the pride where Bournemouth sit today.
:20:32. > :20:34.Tremendous to see how things have changed, and Eddie Howe has changed
:20:35. > :20:38.a bit as well! Now, as training`ground bust`ups go,
:20:39. > :20:40.this sounds like one of the more unpleasant. Southampton Football
:20:41. > :20:50.Club has suspended record signing Dani Osvaldo for two weeks. It
:20:51. > :20:53.follows an incident at the club's training ground in which Osvaldo

:20:56. > :20:59.28`year`old Italian striker signed for the club in August in a deal
:21:00. > :21:03.worth ?15 million. Last month he was suspended for three games for his

:21:16. > :21:19.the county's second of the season. The 26`year`old has taken 125
:21:20. > :21:24.first`class wickets in his home country. A lot of people talking
:21:25. > :21:28.today about Carl Abbott being a good player, South Africa over here for a
:21:29. > :21:31.series, and he could in theory be called up to play for them, and then
:21:32. > :21:35.his appearances for Hampshire would be limited, so they are hoping that
:21:36. > :21:39.want happen. This is a great story now. Let's
:21:40. > :21:42.think back a few years. It was nicknamed Ten Ton Tess ` the biggest
:21:43. > :21:45.bomb dropped by British forces during World War Two. Designed by
:21:46. > :21:55.bouncing bomb inventor Barnes Wallis, Grand Slam was dropped
:21:56. > :21:58.mainly on viaducts and bridges. But before being dropped in Germany, it
:21:59. > :22:02.was tested here in the South. And now archaeologists in the New
:22:03. > :22:05.Forest have started to examine a test target for the bomb that has
:22:06. > :22:09.been buried for the last six decades. Our reporter Rob Powell has
:22:10. > :22:18.been on the trail of the earthquake bomb.
:22:19. > :22:29.We thought this 12,000 pounder was big a month ago, but it is only half
:22:30. > :22:41.the size of Ten Ton Tess, the new big bomb. It burrows into the
:22:42. > :22:50.ground, explodes, and the shock waves destroy the target. The
:22:51. > :22:54.tremendous explosion throws up a column of earth and smoke like a
:22:55. > :22:59.great inverted mountain. Even at this height, the aircraft shudders
:23:00. > :23:03.under the shock. But it was here in the new Forest
:23:04. > :23:09.whether Barnes Wallis designed bomb was first tested. This area was
:23:10. > :23:16.chosen because of its size and isolation. 5000 acres were cordoned
:23:17. > :23:19.off using a nine mile fence. Little is left of the range above ground
:23:20. > :23:25.nowadays apart from a few craters and this mound. Buried beneath this
:23:26. > :23:28.mound is the prototype bomb shelter, partly destroyed in the
:23:29. > :23:35.1940s when the Grand Slam was tested on it. It was being used to test the
:23:36. > :23:38.development of air raid shelters. After the war, they couldn't
:23:39. > :23:43.actually dismantle it, so what they did was cover it in Perth. And what
:23:44. > :23:46.we are doing is using our techniques to see the condition of the
:23:47. > :23:53.structure as it is now 66 years later. Archaeologists have been
:23:54. > :23:56.using probes to map out structure. These are electrical probes which
:23:57. > :23:59.pass a small current through, so small it can barely be detected, but
:24:00. > :24:03.it allows us to measure the resistance in the soil in between
:24:04. > :24:07.them. It gives them a better idea of the state of the structure, and what
:24:08. > :24:11.is remaining there, and then they can make a decision about what they
:24:12. > :24:18.want to do next. That could involve further research, conservation or
:24:19. > :24:25.excavation. An effort to protect what Ten Ton Tess almost destroyed.
:24:26. > :24:28.An extraordinary story. And just to let you know that so many of you
:24:29. > :24:33.sent in your stories about the First World War, your family involvement,
:24:34. > :24:35.and we are going to be looking at some of those stories in the next
:24:36. > :24:40.few weeks, so make sure you stay with us here on the programme for
:24:41. > :24:45.that. Onto the weather, and it is not looking good, is it?
:24:46. > :24:51.It never is! Sorry, Alexis.
:24:52. > :24:56.No, and I can't bring good news. We just want a little glimmer of hope!
:24:57. > :25:00.For your football game on Saturday, there is a glimmer of hope. It will
:25:01. > :25:05.be mainly dry, because that is one of our better days. As we look ahead
:25:06. > :25:09.towards tomorrow and also Sunday, not looking so good. Not everyone
:25:10. > :25:13.will be affected by really heavy rainfall. We do have some weather
:25:14. > :25:16.pictures for you. Maureen Coles took this photo of the
:25:17. > :25:18.sunrise over Southsea this morning from Gosport.
:25:19. > :25:21.Keith Nisbet captured the morning dew on cobwebs on Chalton Down in
:25:22. > :25:25.Hampshire whilst the sun was rising. And John Young took this photo of a
:25:26. > :25:31.robin singing on Bowling Alley Walk in Dorchester.
:25:32. > :25:36.We did see some sunshine today, but the rain is going to arrive
:25:37. > :25:40.overnight tonight. We have two weather warnings in force, one for
:25:41. > :25:45.tomorrow lasting through into the night, and one for Sunday. Through
:25:46. > :25:48.the course of tonight, maybe a frost initially under those clearing
:25:49. > :25:52.skies, but we will see a band of rain arriving from the West during
:25:53. > :25:57.the course of the night, and that will allow temperatures to rise
:25:58. > :26:02.slightly. A touch of frost initially, before the band of rain
:26:03. > :26:06.arrived during the early hours of the morning, the Western areas
:26:07. > :26:14.initially. Temperatures falling initially during the first Park of
:26:15. > :26:17.the night `` part of the night. The rain will start to edge its way
:26:18. > :26:23.eastwards, which is why the Met office have issued a yellow weather
:26:24. > :26:26.warning. We could see around three quarters of an inch of rain falling
:26:27. > :26:30.through Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire and the Isle of Wight, but those are
:26:31. > :26:34.the counties and areas affected by the weather warning. Elsewhere,
:26:35. > :26:38.still the risk of localised flooding. That band of rain will
:26:39. > :26:43.engulf much of the region tomorrow, little respite from it throughout
:26:44. > :26:51.the day, and it will last through tomorrow night, with temperatures up
:26:52. > :26:57.to around 6`10 Celsius. These temperatures will rise later in the
:26:58. > :27:01.day. The rain eventually clears tomorrow night, and we will see a
:27:02. > :27:09.little mist and fog with all the moisture in the air. Temperatures
:27:10. > :27:13.down to around 6`8 Celsius. A decent day on Saturday until the evening,
:27:14. > :27:17.when a band of showers moves in, but this is the feature we are keeping a
:27:18. > :27:21.close eye on, and that is heading our way for Sunday. The winds will
:27:22. > :27:26.pick`up, gusts along the south coast. The Met Office have issued
:27:27. > :27:28.yellow weather warning for that, so the warnings in force from tonight
:27:29. > :27:31.through tomorrow and also for Sunday. The days in between will be
:27:32. > :27:40.slightly drier. Umbrellas and galoshes! That's it
:27:41. > :27:54.for now. More from us at eight and 10.25. Goodbye for now.
:27:55. > :28:17.A star will be born on The Voice 2014!
