again. Something to look forward to. That is all from the | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Nearing completion ` an opening date is set for a Berkshire bridge | :00:07. | :00:21. | |
It when we were first told it was going to be six months it was bad | :00:22. | :00:31. | |
enough and we thought we make not make that, but then they told us it | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
would be another six months. It was quite frightening. | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
Full steam ahead ` the Dorset show attracting thousands of visitors. | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
And the secret of a long, happy marriage ` all 80 years of it. | :00:41. | :00:49. | |
As long as I agree with her, then I am safe. That is not true. | :00:50. | :01:03. | |
Dorset's hospital transport service, recently described as" abysmal" | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
and "a shambles" is now meeting almost all required standards, | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
The service, run by the private ambulance firm | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
E`Zec came under the scrutiny of watchdogs and the county council | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
However, some Dorset patients say the problems aren't over | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
Tom Hepworth has been looking at the report's findings. | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
In October, a private company, E`Zec based in Bournemouth, won a ?4 | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
million contract to provide patient transport services in Dorset. | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
Now these aren't the emergency ambulances, but those | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
which take people to and from hospital because of a medical need. | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
In the months since E`Zec took over from the | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
South Western Ambulance NHS Trust, it received hundreds of complaints. | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
Long waits for transport, missed appointments and long delays for | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
In February, the Care Quality Commission found the service was | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
failing to meet essential standards relating to staffing, | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
E`Zec said many of the problems were because the NHS in Dorset had | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
underestimated the amount of work when it awarded them the contract. | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
We've learned that in June the NHS handed over an extra ?2 million to | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
Today, the CQC has published a report which says the service is now | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
meeting all the required standards, apart from failing to have suitable | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
arrangements in place to safely manage people's medication. | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
But what about the patients themselves? | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
Well, the ones the CQC spoke to said the service had improved but some | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
A lot of patients have mentioned they have been losing treatment | :02:40. | :02:52. | |
time, we are hearing that patients are late for treatment time and time | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
again. And a lot at the time even after treatment there is not | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
transport available to take them home at a decent time. | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
The NHS has broadly welcomed the report. | :03:03. | :03:03. | |
Dorset's Clinical Commissioning Group says it'll keep working with | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
E`Zec to ensure things keep improving. | :03:07. | :03:07. | |
Hospitals say there have been improvements to the service. | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
Considering its 25% increase in funding, the service E`Zec provides | :03:11. | :03:32. | |
A report has expressed deep concerns about prisoners at a jail in Dorset | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
spending "virtually all day" in their cells | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
The Independent Monitoring Board for the Portland Young Offender | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
Institution has called on the prison service to reconsider its decision | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
From Portland, here's Simon Clemison. | :03:52. | :04:00. | |
The point about this being a young offender institution which is now | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
accept in older adults is key to what a lot of this report is about. | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
What it is saying is that now you have got sophisticated and interest | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
professional criminals mixed in with young offenders who, it claims, are | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
vulnerable. It said it has led to an increase in bullying and drugs and | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
the dealing of drugs. I have been speaking to one of the report's | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
writers. She told me because it was used to being a young offender | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
institution, it does not have the workplace training that older adults | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
many inmates are spending too long many inmates are spending too long | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
locked in their cells. Earlier I spoke to Elizabeth who is from the | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
Independent Monitoring Board which stand volunteers into prisons to | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
check on conditions. Certainly the prison is really struggling to cope | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
with the changes. The government have done huge changes very, very | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
quickly and we have lost a lot of staff and the staff that have stayed | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
with the eyes are really under pressure to deliver the regime. | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
There is a terrible lack of activity. We have become an adult | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
prison as well as a young offender prison and we just have not got the | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
industry for the adults. At the moment there are far too many men | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
drugs, the Prison Service has said drugs, the Prison Service has | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
in response that they will not be in response that they will not be | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
tolerated and searches including those with specially trained dogs | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
will take place to find them. Prosecutions to follow if necessary. | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
It has trumpeted the idea that this is a restart in jail where inmates | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
are meant to be closer to home prior to release, rebuilding ties with | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
their families and stopping them coming back into prison again. The | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
report's authors said it is all well and good but in practice the weedy | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
services organised, Dorset people are not in Dorset prisons, they are | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
going to neighbouring counties, to Hampshire and Devon. The chairman of | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
the board told me she was not against any of these ideas in | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
principle, they might work in the end but they are not working now. | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
It's the news thousands of drivers and dozens of businesses in the | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
One of the main road crossings over the River Thames will finally | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
The Whitchurch toll bridge which links Pangbourne with | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
Whitchurch`on`Thames has been closed since last October | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
The work was delayed for months over the winter by | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
The project's also gone almost ?2 million over budget. | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
Our reporter Charlotte Stacey is by Whitchurch Bridge this evening. | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
Charlotte, by the time it reopens the bridge | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
would have been closed for nearly a year, what impact has that had? | :06:36. | :06:43. | |
It has had a huge impact. The bridge was the work, the word was only | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
meant to take a few months, the idea was that by doing the repairs | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
overwinter the bridge would be ready by summer but that has not happened. | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
There has been bad weather and setbacks which has caused delays but | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
hopefully the bridge will not be shot for too much longer. This was | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
Whitchurch Bridge in April. I know it should have been finished but | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
flooding last Christmas meant that workers had to down tools in the | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
middle of the project. Work stopped for four months. The job was | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
originally scheduled for six months but the work has now taken nearly | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
double that time. Their next crossing is about a ten mile | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
diversion from here, before the bridge was closed about 6000 | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
vehicles per day would go down this road to cross the River Thames. | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
Since it has been closed, it has had a big impact on businesses here. We | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
are down by about 20% over the last one year. When we were first told it | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
was going to be six months it was bad enough and we thought we might | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
not make it, then they told us it would be another six months. It was | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
frightening. We have just worked our way through it, done extra | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
deliveries for our customers. And offered other services. Walking bags | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
across two cards. Anything we can do to help the customers. To keep them | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
coming into the village. Work is not taking longer, it is also costing | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
more. The final bill will be more than ?6 million, that is 2 million | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
more than the initial budget. The company says it is doing everything | :08:17. | :08:24. | |
it can. We said all along we regret the inconvenience caused to local | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
people and bridge users. We are very pleased that we can give a date and | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
it is in the timescale we set in March. The company says it is up to | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
the utilities companies to make sure the job is done on time. If all goes | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
to plan, it should be reopened at the end of next month. Drivers will | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
probably wait to see it to believe it, there have been a number of | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
reopening dates announced at this year, all of which have been pushed | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
back. The companies we have spoken to here today say they are confident | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
once the bridge does reopen, customers will return. | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
The police watchdog is to investigate how officers responded | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
to a reported missing person in Reading ` who's now in a critical | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
condition in hospital after a fall from a multi`storey car park. | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
The 54`year`old man contacted Thames Valley Police two weeks ago | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
expressing concern over his welfare and disappeared later that day. | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
Two days later he fell from the fifth floor | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
The investigation is being led by the Independent Police | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
A Hampshire pest controller says he's taken on the | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
"biggest job of his career", after being called to deal with | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
John Birkett had the task of removing the three`foot nest | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
It was discovered by a woman at her house in St Cross, | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
in an unused spare room, where a small window had been left open. | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
The wasps chewed through the pillows and the mattress of the bed | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
Still to come in this evening's South Today: | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
The Bournemouth couple still very much in love. | :09:53. | :10:05. | |
It's been hailed as the biggest development in ten years for | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
A new high`dependency care unit for people with respiratory | :10:08. | :10:15. | |
It's cost ?1.5 million and will bring benefits | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
It was an opening ceremony like no other. George Baker broke through | :10:19. | :10:33. | |
the ribbon with his wheelchair to the delight of the new unit staff. | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
The former respiratory patient who has muscular dystrophy was specially | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
selected by nurses to be given the honour and he was determined to make | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
sure it went well. We got to do a practice run beforehand so I knew it | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
would break. I was trying to go as fast as possible to make sure I | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
didn't embarrass anybody. Was its relief when it did break? | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
Definitely. The unit cheers for patients with severe breathing | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
problems such as asthma and pneumonia. Until now it has been | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
housed on a cramped corridor but is now in a brand`new purpose`built | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
unit and will cure for more patients. There are nine beds | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
instead of six. The number of nurses is being increased from 21 to 33. It | :11:20. | :11:27. | |
make a big difference for patients with respiratory disease who come | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
into a and we will able to get them hooked after quicker. And it will | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
take some of the strain of the intensive care unit which will free | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
up beds in intensive care for elective surgery. The remaining | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
equipment will be installed in the coming days. The unit will be ready | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
to start taking patients from Monday. | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
The Great Dorset Steam Fair is under way. | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
More than 200 engines are the star attraction | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
But the start of the show was disrupted | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
by heavy rain over the Bank Holiday that led to very muddy conditions. | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
There's also been delays getting some vehicles on site. | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
The Great Dorset Steam Fair site is muddy. | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
A field, Bank Holiday rain, and lots of vehicle movements in a short | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
period of time have led to problems accessing this 600`acre site. | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
It was difficult yesterday, we managed to get everything in and | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
here we are on the first morning, everything is up and running. The | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
public car parks are OK because they have not been used until this | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
morning so things are pretty good. We had to do some work on the | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
entrances of the car park but as I said, the game has not been touched | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
since we have been on site so it is not looking too bad. | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
Once on site, the engines are the star attraction. | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
Including this, owned by Doug Hynd, who's been coming to the steam fair | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
A sort of gets in your blood. Something about the smell of hot oil | :12:52. | :13:01. | |
and coal and the steam engine, people who are Iran's steam engines | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
will tell you it is a sort of living, breathing things. `` who are | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
around steam engines. In a quiet corner of the site, | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
this poignant commemoration of the 100th anniversary | :13:11. | :13:12. | |
of the start of World War One. A replica trench system | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
from the Western Front. There is no soldiers left alive to | :13:17. | :13:25. | |
be able to tell their tales. What we can read and see in pictures. This | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
hopefully will give the public a view of possibly what it was | :13:31. | :13:31. | |
actually like. There are World War | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
One steam engines. And steam here too make the | :13:34. | :13:34. | |
Tommy's Soup. It is from the 1940s. It was | :13:35. | :13:45. | |
horse`drawn, taken as close to the trenches as possible and we prepared | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
hot food for the men in the trenches. | :13:51. | :13:51. | |
200,000 vistiors expected here by Sunday. | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
Most braving the mud and enjoying the show. | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
It is always either dry or wet. We have been coming down for over 30 | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
years. It is no different. It is just fun. The Dorset steam fair, | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
there is nothing like it in the world and for us, it is five days in | :14:11. | :14:19. | |
heaven. It is on until Sunday. Don't miss it. | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
In 1897 Marconi set up the Needles wireless telegraph station on the | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
Isle of Wight and proved for the first time that radio could be used | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
Since then, radio has saved countless lives, | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
Fitting then that the Isle of Wight has been leading the way | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
in testing a new technology that could bring superfast connectivity | :14:37. | :14:38. | |
to our inshore waters and, at the same time, affordable | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
It's called "TV White Space" and as the name suggests makes use | :14:43. | :14:50. | |
of vacant parts of the spectrum used to broadcast television signals. | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
The radio waves can be more trouble than the sea waves for the | :14:55. | :15:04. | |
The spectacular cliffs mean they are often out of contact with their | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
Essentially we're using the same technology as Marconi | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
first invented, same frequencies, same radios. | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
The technology has got smaller and more reliable but we can only | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
have one`way communication at a time and if someone else is talking on | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
the radio, that will drown us out if they've got a stronger signal. | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
This is hugely frustrating because the lifeboat is otherwise | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
What the lifeboat desperately needs is a reliable way to get two`way | :15:35. | :15:43. | |
communication between here and the shore. | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
This little boat has been testing a new technology called TV | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
Here, with the help of a stick and freshwater beach, | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
The TV spectrum is incredibly valuable because signals at these | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
frequencies travel a long way and can carry a huge amount of data. | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
You've got space here, you've got space there, you've got space in | :16:06. | :16:14. | |
These spaces are there to stop these transmissions | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
Right, but that would suggest that those spaces can't be used | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
for anything because they will interfere with the TV signal. | :16:24. | :16:25. | |
One of the problems with Wi`Fi is, how does it get through to that | :16:26. | :16:33. | |
The reason it doesn't reach these places is | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
You can use these spaces to deliver broadband. | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
And deliver it to thousands of rural homes not currently online. | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
Frazer Munro runs an internet provider on the Isle | :16:47. | :16:48. | |
of Wight and can't wait to shift his operation into white space. | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
If you have a ?100 million super yacht you can | :16:53. | :16:54. | |
have super`fast broadband in the middle of the Atlantic. | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
But systems like that are out of the reach of domestic homes, | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
offices and of course independent life boats and the RNLI, who have to | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
And white space allows connectivity to go much longer through much more | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
challenging conditions but at a really affordable price. | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
So much has changed since Marconi first transmitted from here | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
and another revolution might be on the way. | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
David Grossman, BBC South Today, the Isle of Wight. | :17:24. | :17:31. | |
And you can see more on how TV white space can potentially | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
transform the UK's connectivity on Newsnight tonight at 10.30 on BBC2. | :17:35. | :17:42. | |
We don't talk a lot about Oxbridge cricket but they are involved in a | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
cup final right now. We will have the result in just a moment. But | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
first we will talk about football. Shocks, near`misses, | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
extra time goals ` last night's Capital One Cup football had its | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
fair share of excitement and drama. Depending on where you're | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
watching us, here's what unfolded Swindon and Brighton served up a six | :17:59. | :18:00. | |
goal cracker at the County Ground A hint of what was to come was | :18:01. | :18:07. | |
provided when this humdinger Well worth a whipping your shirt | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
off for. Straight after half`time, Louis | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
Thompson levelled for Swindon. 1`1 after 90 minutes, | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
four goals followed in extra time. The Seagulls got put back | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
in front before Jake Forster`Caskey But Forster`Caskey was given | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
a second chance from the spot, the same result, sealing Albion's | :18:32. | :18:46. | |
path into round three. I think they played some | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
good stuff tonight. Southampton's win at Millwall | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
was notable for three firsts. Saints were on their way when | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
Jack Cork headed Recent Italian import Graziano Pelle | :19:05. | :19:06. | |
also then opened his account for Saints to seal Ronald Koeman's | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
first win in charge. Bournemouth made favouritism count | :19:11. | :19:19. | |
as they made light work of Dan Gosling put the boot | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
into the Cobblers with the first His second | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
in this season's competition. Brett Pitman latched onto | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
a poor backpass to put the Cherries And substitute Callum Wilson made | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
the game safe at Dean Court, his fourth goal since arriving | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
from Coventry. Reading manager Nigel Adkins | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
spent 14 years at Scunthorpe. But his current team weren't about | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
to show their sentimental side. Jack Taylor's strike five minutes | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
from time was enough to award the fans | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
for their long trip to Humberside. So those winning teams go into | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
tonight's third round draw, which will include the likes of Manchester | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
City, Chelsea and Arsenal, who all Bidding to join them are Portsmouth, | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
but the League Two side already have some Premier League opposition | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
in their way. Pompey are at Stoke tonight, | :20:15. | :20:16. | |
and BBC Radio Solent's Andy Moon is Yes, the Portsmouth manager is still | :20:17. | :20:30. | |
unbeaten in 12 matches stretching back to the end of last season but | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
that record is under huge that record is under huge threat this | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
evening as his lead to outfit face Stoke here at the Britannia, a | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
stadium team has never won at. Pompey beat Peterborough in the last | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
round and they come into the game on a four match winning streak during | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
which they conceded just one goal. Stoke have just one point from their | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
opening two league matches so they are likely to field a strong line up | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
with the manager Mark Hughes openly saying he wants the match wrapped up | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
her Lyon. The Portsmouth manager has shuffled his pack with nine changes | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
from Saturday's victory over Oxford. Whoever takes to the field tonight, | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
they will need to be at their very best to get into the third round | :21:10. | :21:10. | |
draw. And you'll be able to see the goals | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
from that game in the League Cup We'll have them on tomorrow's | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
South Today too. Today has seen the biggest game | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
in the history of They've been involved in the | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
Minor Counties Trophy Final The game was played at | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
the picturesque setting of Wormsley Their opponents Devon posted 203 | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
for 9 batting first. The Oxfordshire bowlers | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
though picked up regular wickets to stem the flow of runs, on what was | :21:37. | :21:38. | |
proving a difficult batting surface. In reply, | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
Oxfordshire slipped to 95 for 6 ` but former Sussex all rounder | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
Chad Keegan smashed a quick 47. They finished on 196 for nine off | :21:47. | :21:58. | |
their 50 overs, and agonising seven runs short. | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
Down to the last few balls. That is a pity for Oxfordshire. No time for | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
a look at the weather. It is slowly improving. Is it some are returning? | :22:09. | :22:18. | |
Maybe. There has been a lot of drizzle today. | :22:19. | :22:20. | |

Drizzle ahead of the weather front which is what we had this afternoon | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
after a dry start, the weather front has arrived in parts of the Dorset | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
spreading its wee north`eastward. A cloudy and wet night but very | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
quickly the weather front will clear western areas during the second part | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
of the night and we may have a few clear spells but with the breeze | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
that should keep the mist and fog at bay. Mild temperatures, lows of | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
15`17 Celsius. The winds are fairly variable but will pick up tomorrow, | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
we may see one or two showers tomorrow but it is an improving | :23:09. | :23:10. | |
picture through the morning. Increasing cloud in the afternoon | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
which might bring about the odd shower for western and northern | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
areas. Highs of 20 Celsius, warmer than today in any sunny spells. | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
Tomorrow night the risk of a shower almost anywhere but that is very | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
much hit and miss, some areas could stay dry altogether and there will | :23:28. | :23:29. | |
be a lot of dry weather with clear spells but the winds will increase. | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
As we head towards Friday. Lows tomorrow night are similar to | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
tonight, 13`15dC, maybe down in the North. We start Friday on a dry | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
note, it is an unsettled picture through Friday, there is the risk of | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
a shower courtesy of this is the of low`pressure anchored off the | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
western side of Scotland, bringing showers in through the low pressure | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
from the south`west. That means there is the risk of a shower but | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
not everyone will see them, there will be some sunny spells as well, | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
very much hit and miss. The rest of the week, sunny spells and scattered | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
showers, for tomorrow, tidy and Saturday. Saturday afternoon it is | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
an improving picture because high pressure is starting to build in | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
from the south`west. So less in the way of showers, more in the way of | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
sunshine and with the high pressure building in even further, Sunday | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
looks like a pretty pleasant day. A high of 20 or 21 Celsius. The good | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
news is, next week is settling down thanks to high pressure, sunny | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
spells will develop and it will become warm. Temperatures up to the | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
seasonal average is not above in some areas. | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
Thank you. I am going to test you know. When it comes to naming | :24:42. | :24:43. | |
different sorts of wedding anniversaries, what do you know and | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
don't know? Paper. You can't just say what year it is. Golden, | :24:50. | :24:58. | |
Diamond, platinum. Golden is 50. Cotton is two. I didn't know that | :24:59. | :25:20. | |
one. Do you know what 80 is? They married in 1934 and moved to Dorset | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
after the war. Helen 's mother has said it would never last. How wrong | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
was she? A reporter has been to me very happy couple. | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
The couple who have been dealt a lifetime of fun. | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
Helen and Maurice Kaye, today celebrating eight decades | :25:37. | :25:38. | |
Did you think then that this could last 80 years? | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
Both Helen, 101, and Maurice, 102, still remember | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
After about three hours, my mother said to me, who is going | :25:46. | :25:56. | |
Today, 80 years ago, they got married. | :25:57. | :26:06. | |
And never once forgot their anniversary. | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
What is the secret of this long and happy marriage? | :26:12. | :26:13. | |
The most useful thing is, as long as I agree with her, then I'm safe. | :26:14. | :26:25. | |
In 1934, bread was tuppence and wages were | :26:26. | :26:32. | |
Coping and caring has seen them through. | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
If you have to give in a little bit, so you give in a little bit. | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
If you have to give in a little bit, as she says, | :26:44. | :26:46. | |
In eight decades, their family has grown wider | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
Sadness and loss always trumped by laughter and companionship. | :26:51. | :27:00. | |
Many, many congratulations from all of us. It is an incredible | :27:01. | :27:23. | |
milestone. It is sense of humour which has kept them going as well. | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
And they look fabulous. Tomorrow we have something special for you | :27:29. | :27:31. | |
because we are hoping that Natasha Lambert, she is going to come into | :27:32. | :27:37. | |

adventure. Join us if you can. `` big peak. | :27:49. | :27:56. | |
