Hello. Now,

:00:09.:00:08.

Hello. Good evening.

:00:09.:00:12.

A teenager has been taken to hospital after falling 15 feet from

:00:13.:00:14.

a fairground ride on Worthing seafront. The girl fell from the

:00:15.:00:18.

Rocker ride, which was in motion at the time, shortly before 9:30 last

:00:19.:00:23.

night. Police and paramedics were called to the scene and the girl was

:00:24.:00:26.

taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton. Sean Killick

:00:27.:00:35.

reports. An official safety inspection is

:00:36.:00:43.

being carried out on the Work right. It is run by an experienced

:00:44.:00:48.

contractor. Sussex Police say at 9:30pm a teenage girl fell 15 feet

:00:49.:00:52.

from the ride, it was in motion at the time. The police were here and

:00:53.:00:58.

the ambulance was here quickly and I believe she was taken to hospital. I

:00:59.:01:03.

believe she has hurt her wrist and ankle. The ride is closed for the

:01:04.:01:10.

time being. Obviously, the ride operators are cooperating with the

:01:11.:01:14.

council and giving full cooperation. Is very sign of any fault with the

:01:15.:01:19.

ride? There is no sign at this stage. All the rights in the fair

:01:20.:01:23.

were checked by officers before they were set up and they do have up to

:01:24.:01:29.

date safety certificates. The other rides began operating has planned,

:01:30.:01:37.

but the Rock remains closed. The council later said that the Health

:01:38.:01:41.

and Safety Executive said there was nothing mechanically wrong with the

:01:42.:01:44.

ride and it will reopen tomorrow. Meanwhile, the injured girl has been

:01:45.:01:48.

released from hospital. Health campaigners in Hampshire say

:01:49.:01:51.

the county is a hotspot for asbestos`related disease. Today in

:01:52.:01:55.

Portsmouth a group abseiled down the Spinnaker Tower to raise awareness

:01:56.:01:59.

of incurable asbestos`linked cancer. They say it is especially prevalent

:02:00.:02:02.

in the area because of historical heavy industry. Rob Powell has more.

:02:03.:02:13.

The diseases caused by the inhalation of asbestos linger. It is

:02:14.:02:20.

a lung cancer caused purely from asbestos exposure. It lies in the

:02:21.:02:27.

core of the lung and it can lay there for many years, before it

:02:28.:02:30.

actually sort of rears its ugly head. Campaigners say industries

:02:31.:02:35.

like dock working make Portsmouth something of a hotspot. The NHS say

:02:36.:02:43.

there are 40 new cases each in Portsmouth. Dock workers who loaded

:02:44.:02:46.

asbestos sacks, they split open, and they would be showered, like a

:02:47.:02:53.

snowstorm, really. They would come home with that on their overalls.

:02:54.:02:57.

Today, Portsmouth Spinnaker Tower was the challenge as doctors,

:02:58.:02:59.

campaigners and lawyers all abseiled down trying to raise money and

:03:00.:03:02.

awareness for this yet incurable disease.

:03:03.:03:10.

Christian groups on Oxford's Cowley Road have come together this morning

:03:11.:03:15.

in a show of faith despite being banned from putting on a religious

:03:16.:03:18.

play. The churches were told they couldn't perform a Passion play,

:03:19.:03:21.

which is a re`enactment of the last few days of Jesus' life, after a mix

:03:22.:03:28.

up at Oxford City Council. Despite the setback, around 40 people still

:03:29.:03:35.

took part in a special walk. A little bit disappointed. But at

:03:36.:03:39.

least we can do the walk. It would have been an extraordinary public

:03:40.:03:42.

witness to the central story of our faith. But it was a good crowd for

:03:43.:03:46.

the walk. We gathered to do another prayer walk which we hope people get

:03:47.:03:54.

to join in with. `` we hope people will be able to join in with.

:03:55.:03:58.

Onto sport, and it's been a crucial day in the fight for playoff places

:03:59.:04:01.

for our sides. In the Championship, Reading slipped up at Wigan, beaten

:04:02.:04:04.

3`0 which means they drop out of the playoff places. They're replaced by

:04:05.:04:07.

Brighton, who got a late equaliser at Huddersfield. And Bournemouth

:04:08.:04:10.

mist the chance to catch up ground on them both, they were beaten 4`2

:04:11.:04:13.

at home by Sheffield Wednesday, with two goals for the visitors in the

:04:14.:04:16.

last few minutes. In League One, Swindon scored a last`minute winner

:04:17.:04:19.

at Coventry, but MK Dons went down 1`0 to Port Vale. And in League Two,

:04:20.:04:23.

Oxford United dropped out of the playoff positions, beaten by York

:04:24.:04:26.

City, who replace them in the playoff spot.

:04:27.:04:28.

In speedway, it's a busy day for the Poole Pirates and the Swindon Robins

:04:29.:04:32.

as they face each other twice in the Elite League. The first showdown was

:04:33.:04:35.

at Poole earlier today, where the Pirates won by 56 to 34. They take

:04:36.:04:39.

that lead into tonight's tie in Swindon, which will decide the Elite

:04:40.:04:44.

Shield winners. Tapes up at 8pm. Glorious weather today. This was

:04:45.:04:48.

Freshwater Bay on the Isle of Wight, thanks to Martin Perry for that. And

:04:49.:04:53.

many of you sent us bluebells. This was Pamphill in Dorset, taken by

:04:54.:04:57.

Mike Ludwig. So what does the rest of the holiday weekend hold? Ian

:04:58.:04:58.

Fergusson has the details. Hello. Another fine evening to come,

:04:59.:05:04.

but that will lead us into clear skies. A chilly night. Many places

:05:05.:05:10.

will see frost. Temperatures as low as freezing in one or two spots. Two

:05:11.:05:15.

or three Celsius will be widespread. A chilly start tomorrow. It will be

:05:16.:05:19.

a day of sunny spells, variable cloud. The cloud could bring one or

:05:20.:05:24.

two showers through the afternoon. Particuarly down to parts of Sussex,

:05:25.:05:27.

there may be one or two getting further westwards, but many of you,

:05:28.:05:33.

I am sure, will enjoy a dry day. Moderately breezy, temperatures of

:05:34.:05:39.

12 to 14 Celsius. Beyond that, some clouds may bring some rain, it will

:05:40.:05:45.

turn heavy in places. You will bring some rain.

:05:46.:05:54.

I hope you can join us at quarter past ten.

:05:55.:06:09.

Today we have seen temperatures rising if Scotland but again

:06:10.:06:14.

tonight, with the clear skies and light wind temperatures will fall

:06:15.:06:18.

sharply, and for many of us, we are looking at a touch of frost. The

:06:19.:06:22.

satellite picture tells a story nicely. This belt of cloud is

:06:23.:06:25.

sitting in the far north-west of Scotland, we have had this cloud

:06:26.:06:30.

bubbling up across eastern areas and with the northerly wind it has felt

:06:31.:06:33.

cold in East Anglia. That cloud is going to melt away, we will get an

:06:34.:06:36.

easterly breeze picking the cloud back in again later in the night in

:06:37.:06:39.

eastern areas and we still have this cloud and rain in the far north-west

:06:40.:06:44.

of Scotland, but for most we will have clear sky, light

:06:45.:06:45.
