:04:40. > :04:43.been raised to extend the children's intensive care unit

:04:49. > :04:53.spent the day there. Sophia, it's a much
:04:54. > :05:07.needed expansion. Yes. The centre here sees over 900
:05:08. > :05:11.children per year. That number is growing yet on year thanks to
:05:12. > :05:16.advances in medicine and treatment available. This extension has been
:05:17. > :05:17.three years in the planning. There are two more specialist beds, and
:05:18. > :05:22.doctors hope make a difference. Four-month-old Gabriel has

:07:05. > :07:08.State of the art equipment. Operating standard lamps, meaning we
:07:09. > :07:16.can do procedures here easily. How significant is two extra beds Rose
:07:17. > :07:22.two might not seem much. What we need to do is to have an additional
:07:23. > :07:28.bed available during those winter busy months. A huge impact. It took
:07:29. > :07:33.six months to complete this. The charity tell me they are trying to

:08:37. > :08:39.route for those who want more But it's also about encouraging
:08:40. > :08:43.practical skills that employers fear have been lost
:08:44. > :08:48.by the Google generation. As an employer, when I look
:08:49. > :08:51.at applicants for apprenticeships, I am always looking at what extra
:08:52. > :08:54.skills they might have, or something to differentiate young
:08:55. > :08:58.people from each other. Anything that shows some commitment
:08:59. > :09:01.or aptitude is really helpful. Brad has been here seven weeks,

:10:54. > :10:56.who've lost a child? In 2009, Rifleman Cyrus Thatcher,
:10:57. > :10:59.from Caversham, was killed when he stepped on an improvised
:11:00. > :11:02.explosive device. Aged just 19, he was one
:11:03. > :11:04.of the youngest members of the Armed Forces to die
:11:05. > :11:09.in the conflict. Ahead of Sunday, Cyrus's mother
:11:10. > :11:13.Helena Tym reflects on the eight years that have passed
:11:14. > :11:23.since he died. Joke was, you buy a Mother's Day
:11:24. > :11:26.card which has absolutely nothing And inside, they all
:11:27. > :11:31.wrote, love you, Mum. The fact that he can't call,
:11:32. > :11:42.he can't send a card. He can't be here to
:11:43. > :11:49.share lunch on Sunday. I know that I am not the only mother
:11:50. > :11:54.that goes through the agony of knowing one of their children
:11:55. > :11:58.isn't around on Mother's Day. Because every day is a day
:11:59. > :12:09.since I last saw him. And it is the things that you think
:12:10. > :12:13.you are always going to remember, you will never forget,
:12:14. > :12:16.like the sound of their voice. Or how they feel when
:12:17. > :12:18.you give them a hug. And it is those things that become
:12:19. > :12:21.more and more distant, and yet they become more
:12:22. > :12:29.and more important. You know, I know he died doing
:12:30. > :12:31.something he truly believed He was proud of himself and proud
:12:32. > :12:41.of being in the British Army. Cyrus is buried at the Henley Road
:12:42. > :12:47.Cemetery in Caversham. With the other soldiers that were
:12:48. > :12:51.buried from the Second World War. His junior school, Micklands,
:12:52. > :12:56.is just behind where he is buried. And as sad as it is because
:12:57. > :12:59.I know he went there, Because I know that he
:13:00. > :13:05.is very close to home. And he is in a place
:13:06. > :13:08.that is familiar to him. We will definitely be
:13:09. > :13:16.here on Mother's Day. It just becomes part
:13:17. > :13:19.of your new normal. To come and celebrate something that
:13:20. > :13:24.you really don't want to celebrate, because he wanted us to carry on,
:13:25. > :13:27.and to not fall to pieces. But I don't think he truly
:13:28. > :13:30.understood the impact that his death The famous Overlord Embroidery
:13:31. > :13:51.at Portsmouth's D-Day museum has gone into temporary storage today,
:13:52. > :13:57.after more than 30 years on display. The 272 foot long work was inspired
:13:58. > :14:00.by the Bayeux Tapestry It's being removed while the museum
:14:01. > :14:19.undergoes major renovation work. Out of the spotlight and into
:14:20. > :14:22.storage. The Overlord Embroidery is moving home for the first time since
:14:23. > :14:30.it arrived in the 1980s. It was commissioned by a philanthropist who
:14:31. > :14:35.wanted to make a tribute not to war, but to the people involved. To
:14:36. > :14:38.protect the delicate work, it will have to be stored at a constant
:14:39. > :14:45.temperature and timidity, check every five minutes. It is never
:14:46. > :14:50.acting because it represents a huge moment in the global, European and
:14:51. > :14:54.British history. Wonderful artworks, apart from anything else. It is one
:14:55. > :14:59.of the longest pieces of embroidery in the world. Panel by panel, the
:15:00. > :15:02.needlework is being carefully removed. The D-Day landings where a

:16:07. > :16:09.made it and some of the techniques. You will be able to see the

:21:20. > :21:35.2017. Now the weather. I will give you
:21:36. > :21:40.this after the weather. A chilly breeze. A cool edge. Today was

:21:52. > :21:58.Dorset. And how about a windswept blossom tree?
:21:59. > :22:08.More of those springtime scenes over the weekend. Tonight is a quiet
:22:09. > :22:12.night. But a bit of a breeze. That will make things feel fresh. With
:22:13. > :22:17.the clear skies overhead as well we can expect our temperatures to take
:22:18. > :22:23.a tumble. Towns and cities likely to see those of around three or 4
:22:24. > :22:29.degrees. Most of us will escape a frost. 18 easterly breeze. Perhaps
:22:30. > :22:33.one or two sheltered spots to the north of our region seeing a touch
:22:34. > :22:43.of frost. And maybe a patch or two of frock, freezing fog. A fine and
:22:44. > :22:47.bright day after it lifts. For much of the region. Some cloud here and
:22:48. > :22:53.there. Good sunny spells during the day. Warm once again in the shelter
:22:54. > :22:56.with highs of 14 degrees. The north-easterly flow will take the
:22:57. > :23:03.edge of those temperatures. For coastal spots, those strongest
:23:04. > :23:09.winds. Tomorrow night, quite clear skies in the most part. Again, a bit
:23:10. > :23:13.of a breeze as a future. Our temperatures likely to hold out at
:23:14. > :23:22.around four or 5 degrees. Fresh, need the first thing Sunday. We
:23:23. > :23:28.still have this area of high pressure, keeping things settled on
:23:29. > :23:33.Sunday. More cloud but the wind is looking degrees as we can see those
:23:34. > :23:38.buyers he's apart. The summary for the coming days. Not too bad this
