it has belonged to Ryan Giggs. It was one of the strongest images | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
of the South's floods. Tens of thousands of sandbags, laid down by | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
soldiers, in a desperate attempt to prevent the river breaching its | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
banks. Today work began in Romsey to remove thousands of those s`ndbags | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
placed alongside the River Test And the equally tough job continues of | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
negotiating just who pays for the winter no`one will ever forget. Ben | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
Moore reports. As they were delivered, thex are | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
finally being removed. 14,000 sandbags that strengthened the banks | :00:40. | :00:50. | |
of the river in Romsey. The state. The going. We are pleased to see it | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
go. We are tired of looking at it. And we will be pleased to gdt our | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
gardens back. You have not got people taking a few and storing them | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
in the garage just in case? One or two have gone missing for slall | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
building projects, I must admit But otherwise, they are too heavy to | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
lift! These are Steve's pictures from February. The military faught | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
against the rising river to try to protect homes as the market town was | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
submerged. Whilst residents here are glad to see the sandbag wall go the | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
river remains at an unusually high level for this time of year. | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
Although it is falling. It hs the Environment Agency's call to remove | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
the flood defences. Those hdlping clear the banks are hundreds of | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
volunteers. Many usually desk`bound in council offices. The main thing | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
is that they are not just going to be put into landfill. I know some of | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
the sand is already being used to sweep along some of the recreation | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
grounds. It can go into mixhng concrete. And anything that you can | :01:36. | :01:47. | |
use sand for, it will be usdd for. It will take one week to relove all | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
of the sandbags. This small market town can, for now at least, finally | :01:53. | :02:01. | |
forget the floods. A four`year`old girl has bedn | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
seriously hurt in a road accident in Oxfordshire. She's believed to have | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
been struck by a Hyundai car, as she rode her bike in Cowley this | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
morning. She was airlifted by helicopter to the John Radcliffe | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
Hospital, where her condition is described as serious. Policd are | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
appealing for witnesses. What may have been the last letter | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
written on the Titanic has, this afternoon, fetched ?119,000 at | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
auction in Wiltshire. The ldtter was written by survivors Esther Hart and | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
her seven`year`old daughter Eva eight hours before the ship hit an | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
iceberg and sank in 1912. It only survived because it was in the | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
pocket of her husband's coat which he had given her to keep warm. | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
The new Mary Rose Museum, at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, has | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
been selected as a finalist for the prestigious Museum of the Ydar Award | :02:48. | :02:52. | |

short listed attractions. The annual Art Fund Prize is worth ?100,00 . It | :02:57. | :03:03. | |

the country for the prize. @nd with the ?100,000 prize, which wd | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
desperately need quite honestly to improve for when we open it for the | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
next phase, it is wonderfully important. Important to us but also | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
important to Portsmouth and the South of England. It is one of the | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
greatest museums of the country Onto football and in the | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
Championship Reading are up to fifth and are back in the playoffs after | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
beating Doncaster Rovers 3`0. If they win their final gamd they're | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
potentially three games frol the Premier League. Brighton, who beat | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
Yeovil last night, are one point off the playoffs. Bournemouth are out of | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
the running but demolished Nottingham Forest 4`1. | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
In the Premier League, Southampton beat Everton 2`0 without evdn | :03:46. | :03:49. | |

factor in the game and keeps Saints eighth in the table. | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
In League One, Swindon lost 2`1 at Notts County. The MK Dons drew `2 | :03:57. | :04:00. | |

Awford's men are now in the top half. Oxford lost 2`1 at hole to | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
Accrington Stanley. Let's take a look at the we`ther. | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
Hello. Tonight is bringing some heavy showers, perhaps some rumbles | :04:20. | :04:28. | |
of thunder as well. Those showers are being driven through by some | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
blustery winds. Quite misty and murky perhaps through the e`rly | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
hours, as well. Tomorrow st`rts with some heavy showers in places. Quite | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
murky at first but it might brighten a little throughout the day. We | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
continue to see some showers and they could bring some hail `nd | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
thunder and we could see a bit of surface water flooding. There after, | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
through the rest of the working week, it stays unsettled with | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
showers and longer spells of rain. That's all from me. Bye. | :04:55. | :05:13. | |
Good evening. An area of low pressure has wrapped itself around | :05:14. | :05:22. | |
the British Isles for this weekend. There have been a number of showers | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
today, particularly in the south-west, and there is more to | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
come overnight. You can see this swirl of cloud, the centre of it in | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
the south-west of England. Close to the centre of that there will be | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
some strong winds in the south-west of England and some heavy showers as | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
well. There will be some big waves along the south coast as well. The | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
rain will affect eastern Scotland and the North East of England with | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
low cloud and missed. The best | :05:59. | :06:00. |
