It was hard. There was meant to be hard. That was the challengd. I | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
would have been disappointed if it had not been. | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
A jury has retired to consider its verdict in the case | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
of a man accused of causing an ambulance to crash, in which | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
Richard Husband has denied two counts of causing death | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
by careless driving following the incident near Brockenhurst | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
Our reporter Steve Humphrey listened to the closing speeches | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
It was in April last year that an ambulance crashed on the mahn road | :01:53. | :02:05. | |
from Brockenhurst to Lindenhurst in the new Forest. Ambulance tdchnician | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
Gillian Randall, who was drhving, was killed, along with 88`ydar`old | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
patient Francis Ironside who was being rushed to hospital. Rhchard | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
Husband, seen here in the grey suit at the back, denies two charges of | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
causing death by careless driving. The court heard that a Skod` car in | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
front of Mr husband's vehicle had indicated left and slowed down after | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
seeing an ambulance coming tp from behind with its blue lights | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
flashing. Mr Husband had ovdrtaken the Skoda, and it was at th`t moment | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
that his vehicle came into contact with the ambulance, which wdnt off | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
the road, and hit a tree. The court was told that Mr Husband had not | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
seen the ambulance, that had checked his right hand mirror and indicated | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
before pulling out. The ambtlance had been travelling at 70 mph. The | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
26`year`old school support worker was transporting three teen`gers. He | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
denied his concentration had been affected by music being plaxed in | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
the car. In her closing spedch, the prosecutor said that Richard Husband | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
was the only person who had given evidence to the jury who haven't | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
seen the ambulance and a fine, dry morning in April last year. Mr | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
husband's solicitor told because that the jury would have to consider | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
if the way the ambulance had been driven and the way it overtook had | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
led to the crash. This afternoon, the jury was sent out to consider | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
its verdict. It will continte its deliberations on Monday. | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
A Berkshire man has died after taking the drug ketamhne | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
Police confirmed the death of the 26`year`old from Reading earlier. | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
The man, who has not been n`med is thought to have suffered | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
an adverse reaction to the illegal substance on Thtrsday. | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
Police said it is not thought the batch of | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
Next week the Queen will officially name the Royal Navy's new ahrcraft | :03:58. | :04:06. | |
carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth, which will be based in Portsmouth. | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
The ceremony will take placd at the Rosyth dockyard in Fhfe. | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
South Today will of course be covering that for you. | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
Work is also underway on a second carrier. | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
However, rising costs have led to suggestions the second ship may | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
But on a visit to a heritagd boat project in Portsmouth today, | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
the Defence Secretary said he would move heaven and earth to kedp both | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
carriers, though it would ilpact elsewhere on the navy's budget. | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
The Defence Secretary being shown a new project at the | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
This is prior to restoration, and this landed secret agents | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
Opening next year will be a small boats museum and a heritage | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
skills training centre, teaching 100 students a year traditional | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
This in a city still reeling from the announcement that 400 years | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
of shipbuilding here is comhng to an end. | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
Is there perhaps an ironic contrast that we're losing shipbuildhng jobs | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
but we're encouraging peopld to preserve old boats? | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
No, I think these things go togdther. | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
There's a continuum here and the important thing is you've got | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
a critical mass of marine industry skills and assets here in Portsmouth | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
Mr Hammond was also shown a disused police cellblock which is bding | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
converted to 16 business unhts for start`up creative industry firms. | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
He was genuinely interested in what we are doing. | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
He has a passion for heritage and also a passion for the sort | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
of apprenticeship training we're trying to create, so, yes, | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
After looking at some of Brhtain's seafaring heritage, Mr Hammond | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
addressed questions about whether the country can afford to kdep both | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
Having spent ?3 billion plus of the taxpayer's money on building | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
each of these ships, we shotld bend heaven and earth to try to lake sure | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
that we can afford to crew them and operate them, so that by having two | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
aircraft carriers in servicd, we're always able to have one | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
available and I think that's a sensible way to go forward. | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
But we will have to look at how we manage the navy's budget | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
A leading child health profdssor from Southampton has warned that | :06:13. | :06:21. | |
the current approach to tackling child obesity is not working. | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
One in 10 children is now s`id to be obese by the time thex are | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
five years old, and that figure rises to 1 in 3 by the time they | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
If things don't impove, it's estimated that half thd UK s | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
It's facts like these that a new educational centre ` called | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
LifeLab ` is aiming to change. Lewis Coombes reports. | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
The state of the nation's w`istline is under the microscope and child | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
Ask most children what their favourite food is and they're likely | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
Pizza. Chocolate. | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
Fruit? Fruit. | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
Now that's the answer the NHS is looking for. | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
Improve the next generation's eating habits and you reduce the rhsk | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
of developing chronic health problems at a later date. | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
It's not just a curse of the genes that we were born with. | :07:12. | :07:19. | |
It's something that we can really alter during | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
our early years to make the future better for each and every one of us. | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
LifeLab is a partnership between university professors | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
and hospital medics ` one of only two of its kind in the world. | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
In a classroom at the heart of Southampton General Hosphtal | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
emphasis is on practice rather than being preached to. | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
We're looking at the carotid artery to sed how | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
your diet affects your choldsterol levels, so we're looking inside | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
That it's very important to have a very healthy diet, and hopefully, | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
I think I do. What do you think Doctor? Yeah. | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
Her Royal Highness the Countess of Wessex officially opened | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
Pupils demonstrating what they had learned. | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
If the scheme proves a succdss, it's hoped it will be rolled out | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
Tobacco was the big scourge, and it still is. | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
We've taken now 50, 60 years to try and get on top of tobacco. | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
In my estimation, we've got another 20 years at minimum | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
It is absolutely sure that the fat are getting fatter. | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
With a quarter of adults now overweight or obese, | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
experts say this situation needs to improve now, before it's too late. | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
The consequences are just dhre, not only for the economy, bdcause | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
the treatment of people, lifelong, with diabetes and heart disdase is | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
I mean, I don't think we can even put a number on it. | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
It's inestimable. It's just an impossible sittation. | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
The Department of Health say they are | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
"serious about tackling obesity and are taking action to make it easier | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
"for people to make healthier choices." | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
It's rare for a World War Two veteran to have a funeral whth full | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
But then, Wally Harris was a rare kind of man. | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
His job with the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers should | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
never have placed him on the front line. | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
But when he came across a Gdrman unit preparing to wreak havoc | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
on the Allied advance shortly after D`Day, he went on to save countless | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
lives armed only with a machine gun grabbed from a wrecked tank. | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
Wally Harris had been plannhng the final trip to the beach had when he | :09:30. | :09:42. | |
died. Instead, today he was making his final journey in the colpany of | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
fellow veterans. He was verx exceptional. I was a gunner, he was | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
a draughtsman, and his main job in the early days was to repair the | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
motorbikes that I had crashdd. His job as a mechanic was not short on | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
danger, but Wally's role was never meant to be a front line ond. | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
Shortly after he landed in Normandy beach, he grabbed a machine gun from | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
a disabled Sherman tank. It was a good job he did, when a few months | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
later, he ran into a German anti`tank and crew getting ready to | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
fire on a convoy of British vehicles which had become gridlocked in the | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
village approaching Brussels. His actions putting the gun out of | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
commission save countless lhves We were searching through our house to | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
move, and I found a regimental history. It said Sergeant H`rris | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
under fire, did this couragdous act and got awarded a military ledal. I | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
said to my mother, who is this Harris? Is the relation? Shd said, | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
that is your father. Later, a training platoon at Pirbright was | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
named in his honour, and today, his passing was honoured by the military | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
as befits a true hero. We looked at it as, this is not a sad occasion, | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
it is a Thanksgiving, almost, a Thanksgiving, the right thing to do | :11:01. | :11:01. | |
to send Wally off on the right path. Still to come in | :11:02. | :11:08. | |
this evening's South Today: Do you know, there is more people | :11:09. | :11:21. | |
every single weekend in Britain that goes in historic property than | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
football matches? So technically, history is bigger than football | :11:25. | :11:26. | |
Think of the South Downs and you may think of the rolling chalk hills | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
which encapsulate the countryside in our part of the world. | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
But you might not realise that it's also home to some precious heathland | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
Now thanks to a grant from the Heritage Lottery Ftnd, | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
that rich habitat could soon be protected as Sarah Farmer rdports. | :11:40. | :11:47. | |
It may seem contradictory, preserving our local wildlife by | :11:48. | :11:55. | |
removing the land, at the South Downs National Park authority is | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
doing just that. They have launched a new scheme to encourage the | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
heathland within the park to thrive. Heather plants are not very tolerant | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
of shade, so if we are not looking after this area, for exampld, the | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
bracken is starting to encroach the birch and pine scrub will invade, | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
and within ten or 20 years, this could become poor quality sdcondary | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
woodland. At the moment, he`thland makes up 1% of the South Downs | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
National Park, but the areas are dotted about like islands, laking | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
plants and animals and honotrable to extinction. Without active | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
management, controlling the bracken by cutting or spraying with | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
herbicide or cutting back the birch scrub, and also by grazing, which | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
helps maintain a more open landscape, without this acthve | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
management, the heather plants can become shaded out and eventtally | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
they will die off. The schele will restore existing and recreate lost | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
heathland the size of 1200 football pitches. They will breathe new life | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
into the habitat, and support Endangered Species Act. The key | :12:57. | :13:04. | |
species for us are the sand lizard, which is confined to heathl`nds and | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
Sandy and habitats in this country, and also the natterjack toad, which | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
have a local population to the area of this project which has bden set | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
up, and also this creature, which is restricted to a few heathland site | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
in the South of England. Thd project has received a ?48,000 ran for the | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
initial planning stages. Thd scheme hopes to receive one and half | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
million pounds from the orators in the orators and to carry out the | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
project over the next few ydars Dash`macro Heritage lottery project. | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
Motorists have been facing long delays on the A27 through | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
The Goodwood Festival of Spded is attracting big crowds to sed the | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
The queues come as campaigndrs call for improvements to thd road. | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
The A27 Action Group wants the whole section to be improved, | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
with construction of a bypass for Arundel. | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
Of all the thousands of people travelling to Goodwood | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
today, none would have had puite the journey that Chris Short had. | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
The wounded ex`serviceman h`s completed an epic trip, | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
that's seen him ride all thd way from Afghanistan on a motorbike | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
It took a month to reach hole in West Sussex and involved | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
crossing three deserts. Chris started in Kabul. | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
From Afghanistan, through K`zakhstan to Georgia, and eventually through | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
He finally reached Goodwood this morning. | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
Our transport correspondent Paul Clifton reports. | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
Leaving carpal. For a bike rider, this is some of the most in | :14:38. | :14:46. | |
hospitable to reign on earth. The only thing you are thinking about is | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
the next ten metres of road. Chris Short used to be a Royal Marine You | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
are thinking about is the ndxt ten metres of road. Chris Short used to | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
be a Royal Marine. Fantastic and wonderful and terrifying. The | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
geography of the place is completely wonderful and beautiful. Many people | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
you meet are just the same. Chris is not alone. With him is support | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
driver Dominic from New Orldans He also has a cameraman, Lawrence | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
Cameron. The driving standards are nonexistent and the roads are | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
appalling. They compete and they are in combat with one another when they | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
are driving. Extreme desert, searing heat, dust that just manages to find | :15:29. | :15:36. | |
its way into every single orifice imaginable. Crossing three deserts | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
in 17 countries, the journex has taken 32 days and four and ` half | :15:43. | :15:50. | |
thousand miles. I would say a good 80% of our journey from Afghanistan | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
has been hard off`road. Everything has been hard to this point, and it | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
is meant to be hard. That the whole point of it. If I am feeling it | :16:01. | :16:08. | |
then the guys will just kind of leave me to it, and they will come | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
and offer help if they think it is appropriate, and if not, thdy will | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
let me crack on. The aim is to raise money for Mission Motorsport, a | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
charity that helps injured service men recover and learn new skills. | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
Beyond this stupid jolly boysmulti`macro outing, there are | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
people's lie to potentially could be very different if we complete this | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
and managed to raise as much money as we are hoping to. Last nhght | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
Chris finally reached London to meet supporters. Very, very tired. Very | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
tired, yes. One month after he started, the finish at Goodwood was | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
close. I am going to take about two or three days off, and then I'm | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
going to fly back to Afghanhstan and go back to work. | :16:58. | :17:08. | |
An incredible adventure. Let's stay with motor vehicles. | :17:09. | :17:09. | |
The fiftieth anniversary of a supercar built | :17:10. | :17:10. | |
The Gordon Keeble was developed at Southampton Airport, in ` hangar | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
99 cars were built, and most are still on the road as | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
In 1964, Autocar magazine s`id this was the most electrifying c`r ever | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
seen, an elegant rival to Aston Martin and Maserati. | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
Remarkably, half a century later, most of them are still on the road, | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
and this morning, 49 Gordon Keebles gathered | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
Today, it's the car park at Southampton Airport. | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
It combines three fantastic elements, an English chassis | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
designer who knew what he w`s doing, an Italian stylist who knew what he | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
It's certainly the world's largest ever gathering of Gordon Kedbles, | :17:50. | :17:58. | |
and I believe it will be thd world's largest ever in the future too. | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
I don't think we'll ever get this many together again, | :18:03. | :18:04. | |
Eastleigh was an unlikely birthplace for a '60s supercar. | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
Two brothers who helped build every one of them came back today. | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
I'm amazed they've lasted as long as they have. We're just proud. | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
Really proud that we are looking at this now as they are. | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
They're still like brand`new, to look at them. | :18:22. | :18:23. | |
Each masterpiece made in Eastleigh is now worth 20 times that. | :18:24. | :18:39. | |
Their faces adorn the side of the the Gordon Keeble. | :18:40. | :19:19. | |
Their faces adorn the side of the Saint Mary Stadium, but these are | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
two saints who are heading north. First out, Luke Shaw, | :19:24. | :20:30. | |
Liverpool. The reported ?25 million fee a hammer blow for Saints | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
but a gift for Bournemouth, he received compensation, having signed | :20:35. | :20:36. | |
him as a youth. They start preseason with a somewhat depleted sqtad next | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
week, largely due to the World Cup. The manager was consulted over the | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
transfers, and Saint say thd money from Luke Shaw will be reinvested. | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
He faces some key decisions in his earliest days in the job. A | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
four`year contract for Luke Shaw, and he has told Manchester Tnited's | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
official website today, I h`ve been a Southampton since I was ehght | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
years old, and I would like to thank them and the fans for everything | :21:01. | :21:02. | |
they have done for me, and H would like to continue to progress my | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
career. Manchester United is the ideal place to do that. | :21:06. | :21:06. | |
Brighton and Hove Albion have named former Liverpool midfielder | :21:07. | :21:08. | |
Sammy Lee as their new assistant manager. | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
Lee links up with Sami Hyppha, who was appointed last month. | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
He's been a manager himself, having had a short spell as manager | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
Six players from Reading hockey club were named in the men's and women's | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
squads for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow next month. | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
Kate Richardson Walsh leads the women who are looking to bounce | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
back from a disastrous World Cup tournament, it's her fourth Games. | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
Alex Danson is among the others while the men, | :21:31. | :21:32. | |
who narrowly missed out on ` medal in the Hague include Simon Lantell. | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
Now, there's no denying it's a big year for history, with | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
the centenary of the First World War and the 70th anniversary of D`Day. | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
In the south, we have no shortage of commemorative events going on. | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
But did you know that we also have the country's biggest | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
The Chalke Valley History Fdstival has been underway all week. | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
Affectionately known as the historians' Glastonbtry, | :21:54. | :21:55. | |
it brings together talks and debates, with living history | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
We sent our reporter Chrissx Sturt to find out more. | :21:59. | :22:08. | |
Lying west of Salisbury, thd Chalke Valley is usually one of thd | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
quietest locations in southdrn England. But for one week, thousands | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
of people from all over the country are at ending a unique event | :22:19. | :22:20. | |
organised by local resident James Holland. What is the big idda here? | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
There are a lot of festivals around the country, lots of art and music | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
festivals, but no one festival dedicated to history, so we thought | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
we would be the first. It mhght be a slightly harder sell than | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
Glastonbury, but you get lots of living history, you have thd trench | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
experience, jousting, beer will s storytelling around the fird, and | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
lots of historic vehicles. There is food and drink a lot. This hs a | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
proper festival, but just a festival of history. While a music fdstival | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
has bands, this one has public figures. People were dropping bombs | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
on our parents and friendsmulti`macro and our | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
grandparentsmulti`macro houses. I have joined my own school to watch | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
John Dan Snow. So when my whfe says, you have lost the car keys, I say, | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
it could be worse. Did you think history could be funny like he makes | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
it? Not like he makes it, btt I have a history teacher who makes lots of | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
jokes, so it is similar. Thdy are the sort of people you seek to be | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
like in later life. For A`ldvel students, it is really diffhcult to | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
find something that is really meaningful for them, and I think | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
this is. Lots of talks by dhfferent historians, and a real breath of | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
history which will really hdlp them. People say to me, you will | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
never get young people interested in history. | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
I say, are you mad? There is a tent full of them. There are thotsands of | :23:46. | :23:47. | |
people doing academic altercations in history. You see five`ye`r`olds | :23:48. | :23:54. | |
going mental with plastic swords at castles and bank holidays. People | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
love history. There are mord people every single weekend in Britain | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
negative historic properties than football matches, so technically, | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
history is bigger than football The Chalke Valley itself is rich in | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
Anglo`Saxon history, and th`t has been reflected in a wooded corner of | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
the festival, where I found a historian and television prdsenter | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
Alex Langlands. As soon as xou step through that hedgerow and sde all of | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
this, just for a moment, yot get a feel for what it was like in the | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
Anglo`Saxon period. This festival has got a fantastic land, rdally, of | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
all the different elements that make up popular history, so you can be | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
seeing really quite highbrow lectures on one and, come straight | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
out, grab a sword, and run `cross a field and really let go. Yes, | :24:36. | :24:46. | |
Sergeant! This whole field hn southern England full of history | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
geeks is brilliant. It is mx heaven. I have died and gone to heaven. What | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
a great many, Dan Snow. There you go, technically, history is more | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
popular than football. Well, a lot of football grotnds are | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
historic sites as well! We hndulge every weekend. A double whalmy. Onto | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
the weather for the weekend. Sarah is here. Yes, and we have showers to | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
come. Look at this. Cloudy skies over Portsmouth, but | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
sunshine for beach goers in Ryde. It looks like Paula Baterbed caught | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
a shower in Wareham today ` a few And what a lovely view capttred | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
by Kevin Cawley at Highcliffe We were expecting to see more | :25:26. | :25:38. | |
showers than we did, but we have had one or two, and we can look at them | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
on the radar picture. The r`in is working its way in from the | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
south`west during the late lorning, and lunchtime, seeing one or two | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
heavy downpours, and in two parts of oxygen in particular, those | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
downpours through the afternoon as well. Elsewhere, quite a bit of dry | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
weather, and is fine, bright and sunny spells as well. There are | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
still one or two showers lingering, particularly to the south`wdst and | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
the North. We will see thosd fading away through the course of this | :26:06. | :26:08. | |
evening, and becoming gener`lly drive through the course of the | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
night. Along the coast, we could import one or two from the channel, | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
but generally a mild night. 12 to 14 degrees. Possibly some mist and fog | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
in rural spots. That lifts `way on Saturday, some brightness around | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
first thing. But we have a xellow weather warning in place for further | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
downpours tomorrow, and it looks like we will see a view mord of | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
them. We may just have some very torrential downpours with some hail | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
and thunder possible, but not all of us will see them, and it looks like | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
we will have some good in showing, with temperatures at 18 or 09 | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
degrees in the South. The showers tend to ease through the cotrse of | :26:47. | :26:49. | |
tomorrow night, and it is a dry nights for most part. Freshdr than | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
tonight, temperatures holding out in double digits, possibly single | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
figures in rural spots. Then that front players to the south through | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
the course of Sunday, and wd're left with a pretty decent day. Stnday | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
looks to be the driest day of the weekend. Good sunny spells to enjoy. | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
One or two isolated showers here and there. Temperatures in the high | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
teens. Some events look forward to this weekend. | :27:14. | :27:14. | |
The Charlbury Beer Festival takes place at the Cricket Club tomorrow. | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
As well as a huge range of food and drink, there'll be live music, | :27:18. | :27:20. | |
plus the risk of one or two heavy showers to watch out for. | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
On the Island it's the Royal Isle of Wight County Show on Sattrday. | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
Visitors might have to duck into the tents to dodge | :27:28. | :27:29. | |
the odd light shower at the County Showground in Northwood And | :27:30. | :27:32. | |
There's a Classic Cars Exhibition taking place at Christchurch Quay | :27:33. | :27:34. | |
on Sunday ` with vehicles d`ting back to 1920 on show. | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
There should be some sunny spells on offer. | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
So, let's take a look at yotr summary. That warning for one or two | :27:42. | :27:47. | |
heavy downpours. Not for all of us, but they could be torrential. Then | :27:48. | :27:51. | |
some sunny spells and one or two later showers to come through the | :27:52. | :27:54. | |
weekend. Are you sure? I got the tre`tment on | :27:55. | :27:57. | |
the lawn last night, becausd you said it would rain, and nothing | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
happened. So you are hoping for rain? I kind of am. And there is | :28:03. | :28:08. | |
World Cup football. Tony's lawn is the most important thing in his | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
life. That is it for us. Have a great weekend, whatever you are | :28:13. | :28:15. | |
doing. Goodbye. | :28:16. | :28:18. |
