0:00:00 > 0:00:11That's all from the BBC News at Six.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Hello, welcome to South today, I'm Sally Taylor.
0:00:13 > 0:00:14Tonight.
0:00:14 > 0:00:14This
0:00:14 > 0:00:20Police say it is unfortunate they did not catch
0:00:20 > 0:00:23this Shoreham man before he beat a man to death over an unpaid bill.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26She has spent 600 days in an Iranian prison.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Now Nazanin's husband says they will continue the campaign to
0:00:28 > 0:00:29set her free.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31One of the world's top classical orchestras joins children
0:00:31 > 0:00:33in Southampton for a very special performance.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36It is the first time I have seen them play,
0:00:36 > 0:00:37and playing altogether.
0:00:37 > 0:00:44I'm really happy about it.
0:00:44 > 0:00:49and the Bournemouth beach volleyball players who got the call to
0:00:49 > 0:00:51represent England at the Commonwealth Games.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53At the meeting, I was like, Vicks, we've done it.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55We didn't really believe it at the time.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Very surreal.
0:00:56 > 0:01:04It still is, really.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Tonight, questions have been raised about whether Sussex police
0:01:13 > 0:01:15could have stopped a violent drunk from murdering a man
0:01:15 > 0:01:18in a row over £40.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21The force is reviewing its handling of the case, after Duncan Hearsey
0:01:21 > 0:01:24was jailed for a minimum of 21 years for beating Alan Creasey to death
0:01:24 > 0:01:29in Lancing last year.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31But it's emerged that, not only had Mr Creasey called 999
0:01:31 > 0:01:34worried for his safety, but a pub and a kebab shop
0:01:34 > 0:01:37in the town had also called 999 the same evening,
0:01:37 > 0:01:41because of Hearsey's aggressive behaviour.
0:01:41 > 0:01:41It's
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Sussex Police said it is "tragically unfortunate"
0:01:43 > 0:01:44they failed to catch him.
0:01:44 > 0:01:50Piers Hopkirk reports.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Holding his jeans splattered in blood from the brutal
0:01:53 > 0:01:57assault on his victim, CCTV shows Duncan Hearsey walking
0:01:57 > 0:01:59around his neighbourhood in Shoreham, at one point
0:01:59 > 0:02:01shadow-boxing in the street.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Minutes before, he had attacked Alan Creasey,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05kicking him to death after apparently demanding £40
0:02:05 > 0:02:11for a gardening job.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15It's emerged police had received a series of calls that evening
0:02:15 > 0:02:18from two pubs and a kebab shop reporting Hearsey's hostility.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23On the night of the fatal attack on Alan Creasey,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25police were called on three separate occasions by people concerned over
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Duncan Hearsey's behaviour.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Then, at 8:15pm, Creasey himself called police
0:02:30 > 0:02:34after an altercation with Hearsey.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Police attended, but left at 8:30pm to pursue leads, advising
0:02:36 > 0:02:41Mr Creasey to lock his doors.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43They returned to Mr Creasey's home at 9:10pm to find
0:02:43 > 0:02:49him seriously injured.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52CCTV shows how Hearsey had returned to Mr Creasey's home
0:02:52 > 0:02:55after the police had left, and kicked him to death.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Sussex Police is now carrying out an internal
0:02:57 > 0:02:59investigation into what happened, and to examine whether
0:02:59 > 0:03:02lessons can be learned.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04We do need to investigate the matter to see if the police
0:03:04 > 0:03:09have erred in any way, and as you've mentioned,
0:03:09 > 0:03:12it is a local investigation so they will be looking to see
0:03:12 > 0:03:14whether we did everything we could and everything
0:03:14 > 0:03:16reasonable at the time.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Mr Creasey's neighbours described him as a troubled man.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23He has been a nuisance to the neighbourhood in general.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Everywhere he went, he created chaos.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29He wasn't a quiet man, he was a man looking
0:03:29 > 0:03:31for a fight all the time.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34I can't see the police have got any blame.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36They were trying to do their job.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39They were looking for Duncan.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41They did tell Alan to lock the doors.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43But Duncan got back in.
0:03:43 > 0:03:53Sad.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55David Simmons is a councillor in Shoreham and a retired policeman.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00The nature of the call, the gravity of the call,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03if that was seen as a high priority, and it clearly was, they will look
0:04:03 > 0:04:06at a time it took police to respond, and whether the police could have
0:04:06 > 0:04:08done anything more effectively to prevent this crime
0:04:08 > 0:04:09in the first place.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Hearsey was jailed for 21 years for murder.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Detectives described it as tragically unfortunate
0:04:13 > 0:04:14that he wasn't arrested sooner.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15The force's professional standards department
0:04:15 > 0:04:16will make its own judgment.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Piers Hopkirk, BBC South Today.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Jo Kent spent the day in Lancing, and we can
0:04:22 > 0:04:23cross live to her now.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Jo, why is it that
0:04:24 > 0:04:34Sussex Police are carrying out their own investigation?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37So, they've now referred it back to Sussex Police's professional
0:04:37 > 0:04:38standards department, and asked them to carry
0:04:38 > 0:04:40out their own investigation
0:04:40 > 0:04:45into what happened.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50the IPC has looked into the case in an assessment phase and has decided
0:04:50 > 0:04:56it did not warrant a full investigation, so it has said to the
0:04:56 > 0:04:59professional standards department to carry out an internal investigation.
0:04:59 > 0:05:08They will examine the force their smug response.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Before coming back with conclusions.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11They'll be looking to see if anything could or should have
0:05:11 > 0:05:14been done differently and whether any lessons can be
0:05:14 > 0:05:16learned following what happened here back in May.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18The jury at the trial of an Army sergeant, accused of trying
0:05:18 > 0:05:21to murder his wife by tampering with her parachute,
0:05:21 > 0:05:23has been discharged, after failing to reach verdicts.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Emile Cilliers had denied all charges.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28The Crown Prosecution Service says it will seek a retrial.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33Helena Lee was at Winchester Crown Court.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36The seven women and three men confirmed to the
0:05:36 > 0:05:37court through the jury
0:05:37 > 0:05:41foreman that there was no realistic prospect, they said, of them
0:05:41 > 0:05:46reaching a unanimous or majority verdict on any of the three charges
0:05:46 > 0:05:48that the Army sergeant, Emile Cilliers, was facing
0:05:48 > 0:05:52during this trial.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Now, the first charge he was facing what he was accused of
0:05:55 > 0:05:59tampering with a gas fixture at the family home in 2015.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03The second charge was linked to that first
0:06:03 > 0:06:06charge, and he was accused of endangering the lives of two
0:06:06 > 0:06:16children who were in the house at the time of that gas leak.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19And the third charge Emile Cilliers was facing was he
0:06:19 > 0:06:22was accused of sabotaging his wife's parachute in 2015.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24The prosecution has said that he had hoped his wife
0:06:24 > 0:06:25would fall to her death.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27She fell 4,000 feet to the ground.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29It was a near miracle, the court heard, that
0:06:29 > 0:06:31she managed to survive that incident, although
0:06:31 > 0:06:33she did suffer from multiple injuries.
0:06:33 > 0:06:39Here at Winchester Crown Court, the jury has
0:06:39 > 0:06:41failed to reach majority or unanimous verdicts on all of those
0:06:42 > 0:06:43three charges.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45The judge, Mr Justice Sweeney, thanked the jury, and he
0:06:45 > 0:06:51discharged them earlier on this afternoon.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54We know also from the CPS that they are seeking a retrial.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59The judge did say that he hoped a retrial, if it took place, would
0:06:59 > 0:07:02take place sooner rather than later, given these alleged offence took
0:07:02 > 0:07:08place in 2015.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12It's been 600 days since Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe
0:07:12 > 0:07:15was first imprisoned in Iran accused of spying.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Today, her husband, Richard, who's from Fleet,
0:07:17 > 0:07:20told us she's due back in court next month on a second charge
0:07:21 > 0:07:23of "spreading propaganda".
0:07:23 > 0:07:26In March last year, Nazanin travelled to Iran for a holiday.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27She took her daughter with her.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30It was a month later, as Nazanin prepared to fly home,
0:07:30 > 0:07:32that she was arrested at an airport in Tehran.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Details of her arrest began to emerge a few weeks later,
0:07:35 > 0:07:37with claims that she was involved in plans for regime change
0:07:37 > 0:07:38in Iran.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40In the summer, the Prime Minister raised concerns
0:07:40 > 0:07:43about a number of cases involving dual nationals, with the Iranian
0:07:43 > 0:07:45president.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48At the end of the summer, Nazanin was sentenced to five years
0:07:48 > 0:07:50in prison for allegedly plotting to topple the Iranian regime.
0:07:50 > 0:07:58An appeal failed.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00This month, Nazanin found out she could face
0:08:00 > 0:08:01an extra 16 years in jail.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Meanwhile, the Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson held talks
0:08:03 > 0:08:06with Mr Radcliffe, and said he would consider a trip to Iran.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09As her family back in the UK continue to fight for her release,
0:08:09 > 0:08:11what hope is there for Nazanin's future?
0:08:11 > 0:08:18David Allard reports.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22It's an anniversary no one is celebrating.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24600 days since this family was torn apart, and now another
0:08:24 > 0:08:31worrying development.
0:08:31 > 0:08:37Neither did yesterday was met by the deputy prosecutor in prison who told
0:08:37 > 0:08:42her in December she will be taken back to court, he said it would be
0:08:42 > 0:08:45for the charge of raising and spreading propaganda.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46But, under Iranian law,
0:08:46 > 0:08:47600 days in prison, a third
0:08:47 > 0:08:49of her original sentence, also makes Nazanin eligible
0:08:49 > 0:08:53for early release.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57She has this application for early release. We have this news about a
0:08:57 > 0:09:00new court case which gets in the way of that.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02It's a legal tangle which Richard
0:09:02 > 0:09:03hopes the Foreign Secretary
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Boris Johnson can cut through with some
0:09:04 > 0:09:06high-level diplomacy.
0:09:06 > 0:09:15What I said to the Government is it would be great if he could visit
0:09:15 > 0:09:18mezzanine or get to Iran in time for the court case and hopefully I can
0:09:18 > 0:09:24go with him. It is important for me that I stand up and whenever she is
0:09:24 > 0:09:28in trouble that I am alongside her. That is why I want to go there.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30The Foreign Office isn't saying
0:09:30 > 0:09:31anything about a potential visit,
0:09:31 > 0:09:32but others are putting pressure on Iran.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35This weekend, the actress Emma Thompson will lead a march
0:09:35 > 0:09:37of Nazanin's supporters in London.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39A letter will be sent to Iran's supreme leader
0:09:39 > 0:09:43urging him to free her.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48After 600 days, Richard hopes there won't be many more unwelcome
0:09:48 > 0:09:50anniversaries before he, Nazanin and their daughter Gabriella
0:09:50 > 0:09:51are finally reunited.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56David Allard, BBC South Today.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58It's the festive truck that rolls into town every Christmas.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01But it seems not everyone is sharing the joy with Coca Cola this season.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04The Coke team were in Bournemouth today handing out cans
0:10:04 > 0:10:06of the soft drink but, alongside them, was another group
0:10:06 > 0:10:07handing out toothbrushes.
0:10:07 > 0:10:17Steve Humphrey has been finding out why.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23It is a festive road show promoting a soft drink. Those arriving for
0:10:23 > 0:10:28some fears and photos were greeted by campaigners with toothbrushes,
0:10:28 > 0:10:32urging people to consider the impact on their dental health and
0:10:32 > 0:10:34waistlines. She doesn't have them, it is only
0:10:34 > 0:10:40me. We don't drink a lot of it
0:10:40 > 0:10:44ourselves, we agree. Special occasions. You have chosen
0:10:44 > 0:10:48the zero sugar option. I would never give full sugar Coke.
0:10:48 > 0:10:54These sustainable food partnership says the message is clear.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59A lot more people are aware of the impact of what you eat and drink on
0:10:59 > 0:11:03your health and well-being. No one from Coca-Cola was available
0:11:03 > 0:11:08for interview. The company said in a statement this road show is
0:11:08 > 0:11:12pre-Christmas fun and it points out only small cans of drink are being
0:11:12 > 0:11:17given away and two of the three drinks choices are sugar free.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22We have a policy not to market our products to under trials and will
0:11:22 > 0:11:30not be providing drinks to under trials unless their parent or
0:11:30 > 0:11:33guardian is happy for us to do so. In a twist, Bournemouth council
0:11:33 > 0:11:35which backs the sustainable food city polish it told campaigners they
0:11:35 > 0:11:41couldn't give out toothbrushes as Coca-Cola had booked the space for
0:11:41 > 0:11:44its event. We are not actively being aggressive
0:11:44 > 0:11:50to Coca-Cola or anyone else, it is to get a message out there.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54It is disappointing. The council says the Coca-Cola truck is very
0:11:54 > 0:12:00popular but it says through sports, recreation and well-being services,
0:12:00 > 0:12:03it is encouraging everyone to maintain a balanced healthy
0:12:03 > 0:12:14lifestyle over the Christmas holidays.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Later, Europe's first majority black and ethnic minority orchestra
0:12:18 > 0:12:24comes to Southampton, to share a stage with 270 children.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37I bet you are feeling peckish looking at that!
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Reading University scientists have found cooking in fat is helping
0:12:39 > 0:12:40to keep the planet cooler.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Fatty acids from cooking create little molecules that end up
0:12:43 > 0:12:46in the atmosphere, and then have an effect on cloud formation.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48But researchers have dismissed the idea that cooking fats
0:12:48 > 0:12:50could be used as a way to reduce global warming.
0:12:50 > 0:12:59Allen Sinclair has been finding out how more.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04Fish and chips, we love them, and nearly 400 billion meals are served
0:13:04 > 0:13:10up by the UK's 10,000 chippies each year. But as if we needed any
0:13:10 > 0:13:14excuse, there could be another reason to indulge in the nation's
0:13:14 > 0:13:20favourite takeaway. Chips can prevent global warming.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25New research is underway at wedding and they have made a discovery, deep
0:13:25 > 0:13:31frying foods sends tiny molecules of cooking fat into the atmosphere. It
0:13:31 > 0:13:37hangs around hoping they can clouds and it helps keeps temperatures
0:13:37 > 0:13:44lower. These molecules in large quantities
0:13:44 > 0:13:47in urban areas make it easier for clouds to form.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Clouds have a massive impact on climate change because clouds
0:13:49 > 0:13:50are generally believed to cool.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52If you have more clouds, it could potentially
0:13:52 > 0:13:54lead to increased cooling, so, a lower temperature
0:13:54 > 0:13:57counteracting global warming.
0:13:57 > 0:14:02Here in Redding there is every hope their new-found eco-status will
0:14:02 > 0:14:10encourage more of us to opt for some deep-fried delights.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13There's some good news for coffee drinkers.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Research published in the British Medical Journal
0:14:16 > 0:14:18suggests that drinking three to four mugs of coffee a day,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21compared to drinking none, is "more likely to benefit your
0:14:21 > 0:14:22health than cause harm".
0:14:22 > 0:14:24The findings come from researchers at the University of Southampton.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27They say it's linked to a lower likelihood of developing
0:14:27 > 0:14:33heart problems.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36If you're drinking three or four, you can carry on as usual.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38What I should mention is that we are talking
0:14:38 > 0:14:42about healthy coffee.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44This research is about coffee, it's not about sugar and syrup
0:14:44 > 0:14:46and some of the things we might eat
0:14:46 > 0:14:49at the same time as drinking coffee which we know aren't necessarily
0:14:49 > 0:14:51good for us, and have standard health messages around.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54If you're drinking coffee, enjoy it, try and make it
0:14:54 > 0:14:58healthy.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59There is the advice.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Children from schools in Southampton had the chance to make music
0:15:02 > 0:15:04with some of the world's top classical musicians today.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Formed two years ago, Chineke is the first majority
0:15:07 > 0:15:09black and ethnic minority orchestra in Europe.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11As Briony Leyland reports, its members are passionate
0:15:11 > 0:15:13about inspiring people of all creeds and colour to get involved
0:15:13 > 0:15:23in the music they love.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Professional perfection, the Chineke Orchestra in action
0:15:30 > 0:15:32at this year's BBC Proms, showcasing the talent of black
0:15:32 > 0:15:36and minority ethnic musicians who haven't always been fairly
0:15:36 > 0:15:42represented on the classical scene.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Chineke comes from the Nigerian for a guardian spirit
0:15:44 > 0:15:46which creates good things.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Part of the orchestra's mission is to take that
0:15:48 > 0:15:53spirit into the community.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Today's workshop in Southampton brought together 270 children
0:15:55 > 0:16:00to play alongside Chineke.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02In recent weeks, many have been getting to grips
0:16:02 > 0:16:05with instruments for the first time.
0:16:05 > 0:16:11Can everyone point to someone standing up here playing the same
0:16:11 > 0:16:13instrument? Loads of clarinets.
0:16:13 > 0:16:20Trumpets? Anyone got a trumpet? The thing I love is the music, it
0:16:20 > 0:16:24lighters your heart, you feel really good even if you have had a stressed
0:16:24 > 0:16:30day at school which you always have. What is it like seeing those
0:16:30 > 0:16:33professional musicians on stage? I am really happy, this is the first
0:16:33 > 0:16:37time I have seen them playing and altogether, I am really happy about
0:16:37 > 0:16:38it.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47The members of Chineke, very happy to provide
0:16:47 > 0:16:52the role models for the next generation of musicians.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56It is important classical music can reach out to all types of community
0:16:56 > 0:17:00and by bringing an orchestra of people who are black and Hispanic
0:17:00 > 0:17:06and Indian descent, it is going to be easier to access those
0:17:06 > 0:17:12communities, ethnic communities. If we show it is possible for
0:17:12 > 0:17:15everyone, any creed and colour to do it, there might be more incentive
0:17:15 > 0:17:19for people.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Today's event was organised by the publicly-funded Southampton
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Music Hub which is offering pupils follow-up lessons
0:17:24 > 0:17:25to build on the happy
0:17:25 > 0:17:32sounds of new beginnings.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33Those children had fun.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Looks like the children had a great time at today's workshop.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Well, tonight, the full Chineke orchestra is performing
0:17:38 > 0:17:40at the Turner Sims Concert Hall in Southampton.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Briony Leyland is there with the founder member
0:17:42 > 0:17:45of what is an inspirational group of musicians.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49The stage is set for the concert tonight, most of the musicians have
0:17:49 > 0:17:56nipped off for a bite to eat but not our bassist, the founder member.
0:17:56 > 0:18:04Why is the orchestra needed?The classical music industry looks like
0:18:04 > 0:18:08the last bastion of the arts which is underrepresented by our
0:18:08 > 0:18:20community. In towns and in cities, like with any industry, the greater
0:18:20 > 0:18:24diversity there is, it just adds more to the mix.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28I want to be in a profession that truly represents the community I
0:18:28 > 0:18:32live in. It is not just who plays in your
0:18:32 > 0:18:39orchestra but what you play? Here, we have up to 40 nationalities
0:18:39 > 0:18:47now. It is not interesting for me to put an interesting arrangement of
0:18:47 > 0:18:51every shade of brown on stage but it is so important from the back of the
0:18:51 > 0:18:55stage to the front is represented, including the music.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00Every single concert we will play a piece music written by a range of
0:19:00 > 0:19:06composers. There are some tickets still
0:19:06 > 0:19:10available, the concert begins at eight o'clock.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Thank you. Sorry we lost a little bit of a sound at the beginning.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18The orchestra is on tour. You may see them somewhere else. Fabulous.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19Time now for the sport.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Tony Husband is here.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26The build-up to the Ashes and a solid start.
0:19:26 > 0:19:35A pretty good start. This is the second day. We were at Hampshire
0:19:35 > 0:19:41last night and the Catrin, James Vincent, nearly wrote his name in
0:19:41 > 0:19:48the record books. His first big innings in Test cricket, nearly a
0:19:48 > 0:19:49century.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Vince found himself at the crease inside the first half-hour
0:19:51 > 0:19:54of the Ashes series at the Gabba, and he took his opportunity.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57The 26-year-old Hampshire skipper faced 170 deliveries, as he dug
0:19:57 > 0:19:59in for a first Test 50 of his career,
0:19:59 > 0:20:00scoring 12 boundaries.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01He was dropped in the 60s.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03But then, with a memorable century in sight,
0:20:03 > 0:20:06he was brilliantly run out by Nathan Lyon for 83.
0:20:06 > 0:20:12England finished the day on 196-4.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16It was good.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19I think the anthem is a nice start to the day, it gets
0:20:19 > 0:20:21shivers going down the spine.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24I was out there pretty early, so I didn't have too much to
0:20:24 > 0:20:25think about.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27The support from the Barmy Army was amazing.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28You try to take a
0:20:28 > 0:20:35bit of it in while you are batting, but maintain focus at the same time.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Lots of people watching and listening.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Last night, Kris Temple was settling down for a night under the covers,
0:20:40 > 0:20:43watching the cricket, as Hampshire staged a special screening
0:20:43 > 0:20:44of the first day's play.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46It was a long night, as play started at the Gabba
0:20:47 > 0:20:48at midnight our time,
0:20:48 > 0:20:50but they had a comfortable view, and were entertained by former
0:20:50 > 0:20:52England internationals Nick Knight and Marcus Trescothick.
0:20:52 > 0:20:59Kris didn't last the first session.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01We can carry on if you like!
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Congratulations tonight to both beach volleyball
0:21:03 > 0:21:05pairings based in our region, after Commonwealth Games England
0:21:05 > 0:21:07confirmed the selections of Bournemouth-based Jake Scheaf
0:21:07 > 0:21:10and Chris Gregory in the men's event at the Gold Coast next year.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12It'll be the first time the sport features in a Games.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15There was also good news for Bournemouth's Victoria Palmer
0:21:15 > 0:21:16and Worthing's Jess Grimson.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18They're on the way too, and I went to meet them
0:21:18 > 0:21:25on a sunny day in Boscombe.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29It's not always as glorious as this when Jess Grimson
0:21:29 > 0:21:33and Victoria Palmer train, but it seemed fitting this was one
0:21:33 > 0:21:35of their first full sessions on Boscombe Beach since discovering
0:21:35 > 0:21:37they were going to the Commonwealth Games.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39The news came while they were competing in China.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43We were literally bouncing around the room.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46We found out, and it all depended on points.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48For us, that night, we didn't have any sleep.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52We didn't believe it.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55We had to check about ten times, can this be?
0:21:55 > 0:22:01We had to wait for the next day to officially find out.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Even on the day, we got to the meeting, Vicks, we've done it.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06We didn't believe it at the time.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11Very surreal.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Training here on Boscombe Beach on a sunny morning is one part
0:22:13 > 0:22:16of Vicky and Jess's lifestyle.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18They are unfunded which means they have to raise all the money
0:22:19 > 0:22:20they can find for competition.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24After training, they are off to work.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27I am a Dorset Police community support officer.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30So, I go around in communities and help them out
0:22:30 > 0:22:34with lower level crime.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36At the weekends, we are here training three times a day trying
0:22:36 > 0:22:40to get as much as we can in when our coach comes down.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43We have to be really dedicated to make it work.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46We never had funding, and so it is not like we feel
0:22:46 > 0:22:48disgruntled because it was taken away.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49We have always self-funded.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53If we got funding, it would be amazing.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Jess doubles up with work as a sports therapist.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Despite splitting their time, they have forced themselves
0:22:59 > 0:23:01into the world top 50 in 2017.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03And now the pair have their sights set a lot higher
0:23:03 > 0:23:06at the Games next April.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10We've come up against most of the teams we will be playing.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14It is a case of getting the real hard work in to give ourselves that
0:23:14 > 0:23:15opportunity to get that medal.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Already making history by representing England in beach
0:23:17 > 0:23:18volleyball in a Commonwealth Games.
0:23:18 > 0:23:26Their ambitions don't end there.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Good luck to them.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Now, it's time to talk pints and paws,
0:23:30 > 0:23:33as we reveal the Berkshire pub that has been voted Britain's
0:23:33 > 0:23:34most dog-friendly pub.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36The Fox And Hounds in Theale has regular visits from
0:23:36 > 0:23:37four-legged punters,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39and it seems they're more than welcome.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41One of the regulars is Rodney the dog.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00I truly believe that a dog is part of your family,
0:24:00 > 0:24:06and we are very family-orientated.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09We feature a woofer of the week on Facebook.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12And, at the moment, we have just met a St
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Bernard puppy who is to die for.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16He's only 11 weeks old.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Seriously melt your heart.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20They definitely get loads of cuddles and
0:24:21 > 0:24:24lots of attention.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27We also do dog treats that are free to have on the bar.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Dog beds, dog towels.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31And we do have doggy ice cream.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33So, we are perfect for every aspect of a dog
0:24:33 > 0:24:38experience.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41If you don't have a dog, you can borrow Rodney, he's fine.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42BARKING.
0:24:42 > 0:24:48I think I'm a little bit quirky.
0:24:48 > 0:24:53If you have a doggie, get down there. If you haven't, get down
0:24:53 > 0:24:55there. If you are a doggie, get down there!
0:24:55 > 0:25:01Time now for the weather.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Wintry showers, maybe snow on the way.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Jeff Daish photographed the Kelvin Helmholtz clouds over
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Woodley in Berkshire, which occur when there
0:25:07 > 0:25:08is a strong vertical
0:25:08 > 0:25:11shear between two air streams, causing winds to blow faster
0:25:11 > 0:25:15at the upper level than at the lower levels.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17A simpler one here.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Martin Dolan photographed the cloudy
0:25:18 > 0:25:19skies at Sandbanks this morning.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21And Colin Lennox-Gordon took this picture of the blue skies
0:25:25 > 0:25:30We had some lovely, sunny conditions today but it is all change. We are
0:25:30 > 0:25:34seeing a band of rain from the south. Not everyone will see rain.
0:25:34 > 0:25:40It will be chilly with the lowest temperatures in the first part of
0:25:40 > 0:25:45the night. North of this, you won't see much
0:25:45 > 0:25:51rain. Elsewhere, heavy bursts which will clear in the morning. A low of
0:25:51 > 0:25:57four Celsius. Tomorrow, the risk of a shower along
0:25:57 > 0:26:02the south coast and Isle of Wight. Elsewhere, decent amount of
0:26:02 > 0:26:08sunshine. Lighter winds band today. Temperatures reaching 10 Celsius.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Feeling more pleasant with lighter winds in sheltered spots.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17A lovely day tomorrow but tomorrow night the skies were clear and the
0:26:17 > 0:26:24risk of a wintry shower. There may be a dusting of snow over the
0:26:24 > 0:26:30Chilterns, Cotswolds and downs. Elsewhere, a widespread frost. The
0:26:30 > 0:26:34chance of ice on untreated surfaces on Saturday morning.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39A mainly dry day on Saturday but a slim chance of the odd isolated
0:26:39 > 0:26:47wintry shower. A dusting here and there. Mainly dry, plenty of
0:26:47 > 0:26:54sunshine, the winds increasing. A high of just seven Celsius in the
0:26:54 > 0:26:58day. In the weekend, some sunny spells
0:26:58 > 0:27:05and wintry showers, a northerly wind and frosty nights on Saturday. The
0:27:05 > 0:27:09winds will pick up on Sunday which will prevent a frost.
0:27:09 > 0:27:19A good deal of cloud tomorrow. It will brighten, a sunny day. Stronger
0:27:19 > 0:27:24winds on Saturday, bitterly cold, just seven. A shower risk over the
0:27:24 > 0:27:25weekend. Rain on Monday.
0:27:27 > 0:27:36That is getting colder. That's all from us. Chris was a bit of a
0:27:36 > 0:27:40lightweight not staying up for the cricket.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Ayew staying up? Yes. Headphones at the ready.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44There'll be a news summary at 8pm.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46And we'll be back at 10.30pm.
0:27:46 > 0:27:46Have a good evening.
