:00:12. > :00:16.Good evening. I'm David Allard with the news in the South.
:00:17. > :00:19.The army could be called in by Basingstoke and Deane council to
:00:20. > :00:22.help build an emergency reservoir. Water levels are still rising on the
:00:23. > :00:25.Buckskin housing estate, and raw sewage is forcing many people to
:00:26. > :00:31.leave their homes. Briony Leyland reports.
:00:32. > :00:36.With tank working day and night, this is pumping out on a grand
:00:37. > :00:41.scale. 77 million litres of flood water have been taken away in the
:00:42. > :00:45.last fortnight. That is enough to fill 200 Olympic sized swimming
:00:46. > :00:49.pools, not that you would want to dive into this. The water is
:00:50. > :00:54.contaminated with sewage. Many residents have been forced to leave.
:00:55. > :00:58.Maggie is staying put but was told at a public meeting this weekend
:00:59. > :01:02.water levels are likely to get worse before they get better and it may be
:01:03. > :01:07.April before the floods subside. Three weeks and we have had enough.
:01:08. > :01:13.By April I don't know how we will feel. You just want to get on with
:01:14. > :01:18.day`to`day life and you feel you cannot do that at the moment. You
:01:19. > :01:22.are scared to go too far from your bungalow in case it is your turn,
:01:23. > :01:27.today is the date the water comes in, who knows? It is devastating.
:01:28. > :01:31.As fast as the tankers pump out more water flows in. The council is
:01:32. > :01:38.looking at alternatives including creating a kind of reservoir.
:01:39. > :01:44.We are now working with the military and the county council to look at
:01:45. > :01:49.some innovative ideas to divert water away, hold it in large storage
:01:50. > :01:54.areas and gradually allow it to go into the water course.
:01:55. > :01:56.The council says experts are investigating how technically
:01:57. > :01:59.feasible that option is. In the meantime residents are helping each
:02:00. > :02:04.other through what is turning into a long pole.
:02:05. > :02:07.`` long haul. Hundreds of dead sea`birds have been
:02:08. > :02:09.washed up along the Dorset coastline. Conservationists fear
:02:10. > :02:13.that as well as the storms, pollutants such as palm oil may be
:02:14. > :02:19.responsible. You may find the pictures in this report by John
:02:20. > :02:22.Ayres upsetting. Dead birds everywhere. Because of
:02:23. > :02:31.the lay of the land rubbish is often thrown into the beach but in recent
:02:32. > :02:34.days birds have been washed up as well as this, which they believe may
:02:35. > :02:40.be a vegetable products such as palm oil. People will worry about what
:02:41. > :02:45.tourists think about the Jurassic coast, this is our world Heritage
:02:46. > :02:51.site. It is appalling. The wildlife that we are supposedly so proud of
:02:52. > :02:54.is dead all over the beach. In recent weeks this has been cleaned
:02:55. > :02:58.up of volunteers but it didn't last long.
:02:59. > :03:07.Overfishing, pollution, it all Mansouor. Year`on`year. `` it all
:03:08. > :03:13.mounts up. This cannot go on. Conservationists believe these
:03:14. > :03:16.chemicals are traceable and they want to discover which vessels are
:03:17. > :03:20.carrying them. Hundreds of birds have been washed up but the dead
:03:21. > :03:23.birds might appear right along the coast.
:03:24. > :03:27.Football, and it was dubbed the Battle of Hampshire. Two local
:03:28. > :03:30.rivals facing each other in the FA Trophy semifinal second leg with a
:03:31. > :03:33.trip to Wembley at stake. Almost 3,000 fans saw Gosport take on
:03:34. > :03:38.Havant and Waterlooville yesterday at Privett Park and it was Gosport
:03:39. > :03:41.who came out on top. They'll face Cambridge United in the final next
:03:42. > :03:50.month after winning 2`0 and sparking a pitch invasion.
:03:51. > :03:58.Unbridled joy for Gosport Borough at the expense of their Hampshire
:03:59. > :04:01.rivals. The last time I cried what are my wedding, and I certainly shed
:04:02. > :04:03.a few tears at the end there, brilliant.
:04:04. > :04:07.The sides had been level after the first leg and it wasn't until deep
:04:08. > :04:10.into first half stoppage time, that Tim Sills broke the deadlock heading
:04:11. > :04:13.home from a corner. And Sills ensured his place in Gosport Borough
:04:14. > :04:20.history with a second in the 60th minute. It was enough to book the
:04:21. > :04:25.club a place at Wembley. Brilliant. The players were over the moon
:04:26. > :04:29.yesterday. To beat a team like that, local derby, brilliant.
:04:30. > :04:30.Everybody is looking forward to Wembley.
:04:31. > :04:33.Today it was Gosport Ladies in action but reminders of last night's
:04:34. > :04:40.celebrations still litter the pitch. And supporters are relishing the
:04:41. > :04:46.club's big moment. Quite an easy thing for Gosport. Watch them all
:04:47. > :04:51.the best. Over the moon. Fantastic. It is what the town needs. It is a
:04:52. > :04:55.boost for quite a lot of people, especially supporters. Football does
:04:56. > :05:01.bring a lot of people together. Anything like this, great
:05:02. > :05:04.excitement, a buzz around the town. Either you are a player, supporter,
:05:05. > :05:07.everybody's dream is to go to Wembley.
:05:08. > :05:08.There's now a month of anticipation before the final on March 23rd.
:05:09. > :05:19.Congratulations. It will remain breezy this evening
:05:20. > :05:30.and much of tonight. Set to be generally dry. It will stay fairly
:05:31. > :05:35.mild. First thing tomorrow, dry to start with. We do have Apache band
:05:36. > :05:42.of rain making its way across the region. Some drier, brighter
:05:43. > :05:45.weather. Another mild day. Overnight some further rain clearing into
:05:46. > :05:51.showers. Still unsettled with more showers on Wednesday and Thursday.
:05:52. > :05:53.There is more on the website will stop our next bulletin is tonight at
:05:54. > :06:10.10:15pm. Goodbye. Hello. Still no sign of the weather
:06:11. > :06:14.really settling down next week. There should be an improvement for
:06:15. > :06:17.most of us tomorrow. It will not be as windy as it has been today, and
:06:18. > :06:21.the band of rain will slowly peter out. We still have some rain to come
:06:22. > :06:25.through the night. This band of rain is quite slow moving, it will wander
:06:26. > :06:28.northwards into Dumfries and Galloway. Close to Northern Ireland,
:06:29. > :06:31.heavy rain in Cumbria and later in the night it will turn whether in
:06:32. > :06:35.Wales and the south-west. Southerly wind, quite strong at the moment,
:06:36. > :06:39.that will ease as the night goes on but it should be pretty mild, six or
:06:40. > :06:43.seven degrees, typically. Tomorrow, we start with heavy rain, especially
:06:44. > :06:47.over the hills, as it slips slowly eastwards so the rain tends to
:06:48. > :06:53.become light and patchy. Buying it, we get some sunshine and maybe a few
:06:54. > :06:57.showers. A good day in Scotland especially northern Scotland. In
:06:58. > :06:58.Northern Ireland we will see
