in advance of the general election. That is all

:00:00.:00:14.

Let's join our Political Editor Peter Henley who's at Westminster.

:00:15.:03:49.

Many people have criticised this as a lack of democracy in those changes

:03:50.:03:53.

over fracking. In other areas the government has announced changes.

:03:54.:04:07.

The right of recall. Some doubt aspect of it but it is a step

:04:08.:04:08.

forward for democracy. All the ceremonial around the State

:04:09.:04:13.

opening reminds us that it is the representatives

:04:14.:04:16.

of the people who have the final say in our country, not a president,

:04:17.:04:19.

the army or even the Queen, Penny Mordaunt, MP for Portsmouth,

:04:20.:04:22.

made a speech today that will last long in the memory, talking of

:04:23.:04:29.

sacrifice of the people of the city She was chosen to make what's called

:04:30.:04:32.

the Loyal Address ` first speech of the new Parliamentary term ` and

:04:33.:04:38.

took the chance to praise the skills of Portsmouth and her pride in the

:04:39.:04:41.

new aircraft carrier that the Queen will name Queen

:04:42.:04:45.

Elizabeth next month. It is because of the skill and

:04:46.:04:49.

dedication of the men and women who built the that ship that this marks

:04:50.:04:52.

the beginning of a new chapter for Portsmouth shipyard, ?1 billion of

:04:53.:04:54.

investment, assisted area status, and a maritime task force, the

:04:55.:04:56.

defence growth partnership and our very own minister enabling us to

:04:57.:05:01.

transform Portsmouth and the Solent entered a maritime art of the UK.

:05:02.:05:07.

For the first time ever two women gave the opening speeches, and

:05:08.:05:12.

netbook from Dorset, a Liberal Democrat, something that was not

:05:13.:05:16.

lost on the Prime Minister. Looking back at MPs who have represented

:05:17.:05:21.

Dorset constituency is females are kids because by their absence. There

:05:22.:05:27.

was Baroness Madoc who had a spectacular by`election victory in

:05:28.:05:30.

Christchurch. I have looked very carefully at all of the things that

:05:31.:05:33.

she has championed. She failed to mention that she is a leading voice

:05:34.:05:38.

in the campaign for the protection of Endangered Species Act work that

:05:39.:05:41.

has taken on new significance in recent weeks.

:05:42.:05:54.

The former head of MI6 was among those paying

:05:55.:05:57.

his respects today to the last of the Bletchley Park code breakers.

:05:58.:06:00.

at a memorial service for Jerry Roberts from Liphook in Hampshire

:06:01.:06:05.

Captain Roberts had been on the team that had cracked encrypted messages

:06:06.:06:11.

In a week of wartime memories this was a chance to remember one of the

:06:12.:06:21.

backroom boys. I would like to express sincere gratitude for

:06:22.:06:25.

everyone who has come today to pay their last respects to daddy. Jerry

:06:26.:06:29.

Campbell touch the lives of more than friends and family. A German

:06:30.:06:34.

linguist, it helped to crack the most secret of the codes used by the

:06:35.:06:40.

third Reich, intended to keep private conversations between Hitler

:06:41.:06:58.

and his generals. So secret was his role in bringing about Germany's

:06:59.:07:01.

defeat, not even closest family could know. He was incredibly

:07:02.:07:09.

discreet. Very low profile. If anybody could do that sort of thing,

:07:10.:07:13.

he certainly could. But what is train, a? Trafalgar Square

:07:14.:07:17.

commemorate one of Britain's most famous military leaders, but the man

:07:18.:07:22.

that people were remembered today, captain Jerry Campbell `` Jerry

:07:23.:07:30.

Roberts and a team he worked with, probably did more to clinch a

:07:31.:07:33.

British military victory than any other general or Admiral. I don't

:07:34.:07:39.

think there has been such an achievement by intelligence

:07:40.:07:43.

operations as happened at that time. When the veil of secrecy was lifted

:07:44.:07:48.

he campaigned tirelessly that others might get proper credit. Today it

:07:49.:07:51.

was his turn to be remembered for his wartime role.

:07:52.:07:56.

Detectives investigating the murder of Dorset nurse Rui Lee

:07:57.:07:58.

are continuing to question three women on suspicion

:07:59.:08:00.

Ms Lee's body was found inside the boot of a car

:08:01.:08:04.

The women aged 65, 28 and 25, were arrested yesterday.

:08:05.:08:08.

Ms Lee's husband, Pierre Legris, was remanded in custody after

:08:09.:08:11.

appearing at Winchester Crown Court today, charged with her murder.

:08:12.:08:16.

A seafront restaurant that was wrecked in a storm on Valentine's

:08:17.:08:19.

The Marine at Milford on Sea had to be evacuated by the

:08:20.:08:24.

Army when the storm sent shingle smashing into windows and sea water

:08:25.:08:27.

Rescued at midnight, 30 people whose romantic Valentines night dinner was

:08:28.:08:43.

shattered by one of the worst storms ever seen on the Hampshire coast.

:08:44.:08:47.

They had been sheltering in a back room at The Marine before they

:08:48.:08:53.

managed to escape. Four months on and almost every pane of glass has

:08:54.:08:57.

been replaced. The flaw has had to be totally replaced on the ground

:08:58.:09:02.

floor. The project has cost ?100,000 and they are still doing the

:09:03.:09:06.

finishing touches. They hope to reopen fully on Friday. Some of the

:09:07.:09:10.

repair cost has been met by insurance and some by a special

:09:11.:09:17.

government flood relief scheme. That was funding from central government

:09:18.:09:21.

that was made available to businesses like ours that suffered

:09:22.:09:26.

flood damage. It was about ?5,000 but that helped to keep the wheels

:09:27.:09:32.

turning. The shattered balcony glass will soon be replaced. The

:09:33.:09:36.

restaurant is hoping to get another ?5,000 of government money towards

:09:37.:09:40.

preventing future floods. The upstairs restaurant was back in

:09:41.:09:44.

operation six weeks after the storm. This was where the Valentines diners

:09:45.:09:48.

had been sitting. It was quite surreal at the time. People said,

:09:49.:09:52.

are you frightened but you're not in that situation, you just react. It

:09:53.:09:56.

was only later that we took on board how serious it was. This weekend,

:09:57.:10:05.

The Marine will be hosting its first wedding since the storm.

:10:06.:10:09.

Still to come in this evening's South Today.

:10:10.:10:13.

It was one of the greatest achievements

:10:14.:10:14.

of the Second World War. How the Mulberry harbours

:10:15.:10:15.

played a huge part in D`Day. The A27 through Worthing is one

:10:16.:10:19.

of our most notorious bottlenecks but for the last two weeks, drivers

:10:20.:10:24.

have been amazed to find the traffic The dramatic improvement was

:10:25.:10:28.

because a set of traffic lights Motorists want them switched off for

:10:29.:10:32.

good but pedestrians say the lights Working again, but they have been

:10:33.:10:51.

out of action for a week, and now many motorists want them to be

:10:52.:10:54.

switched off for good. Footage posted online shows speeded up video

:10:55.:10:57.

from when the traffic lights were not working, and I won my we spent

:10:58.:11:02.

journey took five minutes at an average speed of 40 mph. It shows a

:11:03.:11:07.

comparable journey with the traffic lights working. It was three times

:11:08.:11:11.

longer, or almost 15 minutes at an average speed of just five miles an

:11:12.:11:15.

hour. The traffic lights are working once again so we have got some hefty

:11:16.:11:21.

traffic queues. BBC traffic presenter Stephen Cranford says that

:11:22.:11:25.

they have noticed the absence of traffic jams with the lights off. It

:11:26.:11:30.

can take 40 minutes queueing through Worthing. With the lights off that

:11:31.:11:33.

has been knocked down to ten minutes. There is a big difference.

:11:34.:11:37.

Traders say that improve journey times have helped us this. It has

:11:38.:11:43.

helped us because the flow of traffic does not get held up and it

:11:44.:11:46.

sorts itself out. And it is easier without them on. The loss of the

:11:47.:11:50.

traffic lights was bad news for pedestrians. I had to wait for five

:11:51.:11:56.

minutes because I had to rely on the traffic to stop for me. It meant

:11:57.:12:00.

that nobody knew what was going on. The cars would not let me go. It was

:12:01.:12:05.

taking forever. I was taking ten minutes to cross. Contractors were

:12:06.:12:11.

working on the lives today. The highways agency says that they are a

:12:12.:12:15.

necessary safety measure. They will monitor the operation of the traffic

:12:16.:12:17.

lights to try and improve traffic flow.

:12:18.:12:25.

Now it's 50 days until the Commonwealth Games start in Glasgow.

:12:26.:12:28.

As part of the build up, the Queen's Baton has been travelling the globe

:12:29.:12:32.

It's one of only 16 locations in England to host the relay.

:12:33.:12:36.

Let's join Ben Moore live in Southampton's Guildhall Square.

:12:37.:12:41.

It looks like a big turnout so far. Yes, the Queen's Baton arrived ten

:12:42.:12:51.

minutes ago. The attention is now on the divers, team England doing a

:12:52.:12:57.

display featuring one diver from the South. And the band seems to have

:12:58.:13:03.

hit the spot, with the people in Southampton today. A special

:13:04.:13:08.

passenger on board, the Queen's Baton visiting the Queen Elizabeth.

:13:09.:13:13.

Olympic medallist Ewan Thomas starting the relay through his home

:13:14.:13:17.

city, and where else but at the docs? What does it actually say? On

:13:18.:13:26.

July 23 it be read out the opening ceremony. The Queen's Baton has been

:13:27.:13:32.

around the world. There is only one and England as a 69th, zero

:13:33.:13:36.

territory that it has visited. One tour of the bridge and a quick

:13:37.:13:39.

doodle, and it was on the move again. A rapturous welcome from 600

:13:40.:13:45.

schoolchildren at the outdoor sports Centre. This is what the Glasgow

:13:46.:13:52.

2014 organisers want to see, the Queen's Baton really inspiring kids.

:13:53.:13:56.

I have seen the Olympic torch, it is like the same thing but it is

:13:57.:14:02.

better. She came down the hell and everyone was kind of like screaming.

:14:03.:14:07.

Southampton had six bearers for the Queen's Baton, all of them involving

:14:08.:14:12.

grass`roots sport. It is a fantastic thing about the Commonwealth Games.

:14:13.:14:16.

It recognises able`bodied sport and disability sport. Another 600

:14:17.:14:21.

children are here to play sport tomorrow. The message of the Queen's

:14:22.:14:25.

Baton has certainly hit home, here in Southampton. One lady who knows a

:14:26.:14:39.

lot about diving is Annie Clulow. What is it that you have done that

:14:40.:14:44.

has given you a deserved spot as a bearer of the Queen's Baton? I have

:14:45.:14:49.

been involved in the diving programme in Southampton and in the

:14:50.:14:52.

wider world of diving over the last 14 years. It is the dedication to

:14:53.:14:59.

what I have done and the time that I have spent volunteering that has

:15:00.:15:05.

been a huge pleasure. It must have been a real honour. It has been

:15:06.:15:10.

absolutely amazing. It is almost unreal. Lovely to talk to you. The

:15:11.:15:18.

diving continues here. Pete Waterfield is going to make a huge

:15:19.:15:22.

dive from that top border bit later. But the Queen's Baton is going to

:15:23.:15:27.

continue as to the south coast but it has enjoyed itself here in

:15:28.:15:34.

Southampton. If you want to catch up on all the colour of the day as the

:15:35.:15:38.

Queen's Baton made his way around the city, you can have a look on our

:15:39.:15:55.

website. We have heard a lot about Southampton football club and who

:15:56.:16:04.

might the next manager Dave. Back to the grassroots, it is a team that we

:16:05.:16:07.

have been following. Orchard Junior School from

:16:08.:16:09.

Dibden Purlieu fought off strong opposition from across

:16:10.:16:21.

England, to secure the silverware. And I went along to join the

:16:22.:16:24.

school's celebration this morning. This morning, these were the most

:16:25.:16:32.

shiny apples in the orchard, who have seen off the best that England

:16:33.:16:37.

had to offer. The girls from Orchard Junior School battled through the

:16:38.:16:38.

Hampshire and south`west competitions before a final stay at

:16:39.:16:44.

the Aston Villa training complex. It was amazing because a couple of

:16:45.:16:48.

years ago when I was in the team, we only managed to get to the

:16:49.:16:52.

semifinal, but this is my last year, so it wins `` it means a lot to win

:16:53.:16:58.

it. I do not want to put pressure on them to have to win it, but it is a

:16:59.:17:02.

great thing to do. When you are playing sport, you want to win,

:17:03.:17:06.

really. I am chuffed with how far they have got. Even if they had not

:17:07.:17:10.

won it would have been an even `` it had been an amazing achievement to

:17:11.:17:17.

get there. Two goals from Ella Morris helped them to a 2`1 victory

:17:18.:17:22.

and the prestigious title of champions of England. We stepped

:17:23.:17:26.

onto the pitch and they were looking confident, so be had to try and beat

:17:27.:17:30.

them and prove them wrong. It was very good to beat them. We had to

:17:31.:17:37.

defend so much. It was very tough in that last couple of minutes. The

:17:38.:17:41.

girls will leave Orchard Junior School on a high, but what about the

:17:42.:17:47.

future of coach, Mr Hastings. I have had that Southampton are looking. I

:17:48.:17:51.

will put my phone number on and they can take it from there! And what the

:17:52.:17:57.

goal that was congratulations to Ella Morris.

:17:58.:18:02.

One of the biggest T20 cricket stars in the world has touched down

:18:03.:18:05.

at Hampshire, to begin his second stint with the club.

:18:06.:18:08.

Australian Glenn Maxwell will play against Kent tomorrow,

:18:09.:18:10.

fresh from reaching the final of the multi`million dollar

:18:11.:18:13.

Maxwell was previously at the Ageas Bowl in 2012, and played for Surrey

:18:14.:18:17.

last year, but it was Hampshire who kick`started his career.

:18:18.:18:20.

I was not in great nick domestically, and then I stayed with

:18:21.:18:26.

Hampshire and turn my career around. It was amazing and it got me playing

:18:27.:18:30.

for Australia. I owe Hampshire quite a lot coming back this summer.

:18:31.:18:35.

There was a remarkable bowling effort from Hampshire in the

:18:36.:18:37.

They needed ten wickets in a session and a half to beat Derbyshire.

:18:38.:18:42.

But rain held them up, and Hampshire ended two wickets short of the win.

:18:43.:18:46.

Staying in Division Two, Surrey saved their game

:18:47.:18:48.

against Worcestershire, after being forced to follow on.

:18:49.:18:50.

the final day against Notts, helped by 86 from Chris Nash.

:18:51.:18:55.

Good luck to London Welsh, who are based in Oxford, in the second leg

:18:56.:19:02.

of the championship promotion play`off with a place in the

:19:03.:19:04.

Premiership at the grabs tonight. It was one of the greatest

:19:05.:19:12.

engineering achievements of the Second World War ` and the invasion

:19:13.:19:15.

of France would have been impossible Mulberry harbours were built on the

:19:16.:19:19.

south coast. The giant concrete blocks were ` would you believe `

:19:20.:19:29.

floated and taken across the Channel to Normandy, to construct a

:19:30.:19:32.

temporary port after D`Day. Clifton has gone in search of the

:19:33.:19:35.

remains of these harbours ` as his father was part of the team which

:19:36.:19:40.

helped to design the structures. These pictures show a process that

:19:41.:19:50.

has revolutionised modern warfare. channel, in Langstone Harbour, a

:19:51.:20:36.

broken piece was left behind. It is still there today. The slump of

:20:37.:20:41.

concrete is one piece of as a ramp for car ferries from

:20:42.:21:46.

Southampton to the Isle of Wight. Here it is today, alongside the

:21:47.:21:51.

modern red funnel terminal. No longer used and a little bit rusty.

:21:52.:21:57.

But this area is due to be redeveloped. So the future of the

:21:58.:22:03.

small part of Second World War history is uncertain, at best. Once

:22:04.:22:12.

the tanks and lorries had landed using the Mulberry Harbours, they

:22:13.:22:15.

had to be supplied with petrol. A secret pipeline was built. This

:22:16.:22:22.

pipeline makes engineering history. It is a lifeline which carry petrol

:22:23.:22:26.

to the Aligarh armies in Europe and it is a web of genius. `` the Allied

:22:27.:22:34.

armies. It was called Pluto, the pipeline under the ocean. It ran

:22:35.:22:40.

from Hampshire to the Isle of Wight and then 70 miles across the

:22:41.:22:45.

Channel. The pipeline is only work in 12 days. A second route from Kent

:22:46.:22:52.

was more successful. But this small section at Shanklin China remains.

:22:53.:23:06.

`` `` Chine.. The next development was the construction of large

:23:07.:23:12.

floating drums. These were known as the giant cotton mills, if you like,

:23:13.:23:16.

and these were jointed sections which went round and round, these

:23:17.:23:22.

conundrums, the giant drums, and they were towed by an oceangoing

:23:23.:23:27.

tug. On the northside of the island, researchers are documenting

:23:28.:23:33.

what remains of Pluto, decaying slowly at, and visible only at low

:23:34.:23:39.

tide. We believe we know whether pipeline went but it has not been

:23:40.:23:42.

recorded in the past, so there might be some extant remains in other

:23:43.:23:45.

parts of the Solent that we do not yet know about. The last match of a

:23:46.:23:51.

long journey. On the south coast of England there was not much left of

:23:52.:23:58.

two of the greatest military engineering achievements, but 70

:23:59.:24:00.

years on, it is surely remarkable that there is anything left at all.

:24:01.:24:08.

There is a special programme this weekend looking at some of those

:24:09.:24:13.

wartime inventions, the science of D`Day is on BBC One at 430 on

:24:14.:24:18.

Saturday and 7:30pm on Sunday on BBC Four. Staying with D`Day, as you may

:24:19.:24:25.

have seen on the national news, eight Dakota Transport planes have

:24:26.:24:28.

recreated the original D`Day invasion flights from the airfield

:24:29.:24:34.

at Lyon Solent. More than 100 parachutists had been due to drop

:24:35.:24:38.

over Normandy to start the commemorations of the 70th

:24:39.:24:41.

anniversary, but the parachute jump had to be cancelled because of

:24:42.:24:47.

strong winds. What a shame. I know that a lot of planning had gone into

:24:48.:24:53.

that. I know that we are having some stormy weather ourselves because on

:24:54.:24:57.

Saturday we have got some bad news. We will have some potential

:24:58.:25:02.

thunderstorms on Saturday. Let's have a look at those weather

:25:03.:25:07.

pictures. A splash of colour in open in Hampshire. This picture was taken

:25:08.:25:21.

by Jimmy Boxall. And this is a Robin in`flight in a garden in Ashley

:25:22.:25:26.

Heath. Through the course of the night we will see some rain at

:25:27.:25:31.

times. It will slowly clear. Thunderstorms will clear North with

:25:32.:25:36.

a band of rain and there will be some clear skies behind.

:25:37.:25:39.

Temperatures not as high as they have been on recent nights. Dropping

:25:40.:25:44.

into single figures, around 10 Celsius in towns and cities, around

:25:45.:25:49.

five Celsius in the countryside. A damp and cloudy start for some

:25:50.:25:52.

tomorrow but it is an improving picture. A much better day with some

:25:53.:25:56.

lovely sunny spells. And in the sunshine, temperatures will recover

:25:57.:26:02.

nicely. Today, we only beast high temperatures of 12 Celsius, and

:26:03.:26:05.

tomorrow, perhaps up to 18 Celsius. The winds are light and pleasant in

:26:06.:26:12.

the sun. Tonight, the odd shower, he went there, and the risk of the odd

:26:13.:26:15.

shower tomorrow, but under those clearing skies temperatures will

:26:16.:26:20.

fall into single figures again. It will be a dry start on Friday. And

:26:21.:26:24.

the bulk of Friday will stay mainly dry. We are looking at this area of

:26:25.:26:28.

low pressure swinging towards the evening on Friday. That will

:26:29.:26:33.

introduce more cloud and give us potential thunderstorms overnight on

:26:34.:26:36.

Friday into Saturday and through Saturday daytime as well. The

:26:37.:26:40.

showers and thunderstorms will clear through Saturday fairly quickly. But

:26:41.:26:46.

there will be very heavy during the day, so the Met office have issued a

:26:47.:26:52.

yellow weather warning, so there could be some localised flooding. It

:26:53.:26:56.

is another old story with the weather, so things can change, and

:26:57.:27:00.

we might see a change to who could be affected by these thunderstorms

:27:01.:27:05.

over the weekend. It is because of humid air coming up from France, and

:27:06.:27:09.

meeting this cold air, that will trigger thunderstorms through Friday

:27:10.:27:14.

night and Saturday during the day. It should stay mainly dry with lots

:27:15.:27:18.

of sunshine, warming up nicely as we head through to the weekend, which

:27:19.:27:26.
