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. | |
could trigger those thunderstorms. I think we will all be staying in, | :27:27. | :27:29. | |
won't we? That is all from us this evening. We will have more at 8pm | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
and 10:25pm. Tomorrow, we will be meeting the man who has been dubbed | :27:36. | :27:42. | |
the next Sir Ben Ainslie. Thank you for watching. Good night. | :27:43. | :27:54. | |
