Welcome to South Today, I'm Allen Sinclair. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
On the programme tonight: Campaigners fighting to free | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
a British mother jailed in Iran are at Downing Street - | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
hoping their voices will carry to politicians with the power | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
Makeshift sea defences that were supposed to last | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
the winter are washed away - leaving waterfront homes | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
And we start this week on a fairly wet note, cooler by the weekend with | :00:24. | :00:33. | |
the chance of Gables. A protest has been held close | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
to Downing Street this evening, over the continued detention | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
of a British woman in Iran. Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe's | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
ordeal began in April - arrested at the airport | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
as she was returning She'd been travelling | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
with her two-year-old daughter Gabriella - | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
whose passport was taken away. She's now being cared | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
for by relatives in Iran. In September, Nazanin was sentenced | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
to five years in prison - but the charges against her | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
remain a secret. Her husband - Richard Ratcliffe - | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
who's from Hampshire - has been campaigning | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
for his wife's release. Our Political Editor Peter Henley | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
was at this evening's protest and sent this report | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
from Westminster. It's now 260 days since Nazanin | :01:11. | :01:18. | |
Zaghari Ratcliffe was taken into She has now been convicted | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
and sentenced to five years and we understand she is in solitary | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
confinement, a long way from a prison in Iran to Downing Street | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
this evening when we understand members of her family | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
were singing carols, trying to keep their spirits up | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
and prevent positive aspects to A lot of it revolves | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
around trying to influence governments, | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
particularly the British government to put more pressure | :01:48. | :01:48. | |
on the Iranian government, and Nazanin's husband Richard | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
believes they are not doing enough. The government is | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
doing more and more but not enough and they | :02:03. | :02:03. | |
need to keep going. There are things they could be | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
doing, they have never criticised the way she has been treated, | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
so we'll keep going, but we are grateful for the small | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
things they are doing. People in Hampshire | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
have been busy as well. A report on the letter writing | :02:18. | :02:29. | |
campaign. Today | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
is a peaceful protest against a frustrating | :02:33. | :02:33. | |
process. It is a message of solidarity | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
and is in conjunction At the moment, she is not | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
very well at all. She has lost a lot of weight, | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
a lot of strength, a lot of hair. She is a British citizen | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
and that is what we can understand, it feels | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
like she has been left to hang out to dry for | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
the last nine months with very little | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
British consular support. I understand the reasons behind that | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
but it still feels like she is a British citizen and it is a British | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
child and we feel she should be home We were not expecting this much | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
support and it helps us to drive this campaign as without local | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
support the campaign wouldn't get Nazanin's 38th birthday | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
is on Boxing Day, one that is likely to be behind bars unless | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
the family's one Christmas wish 26,000 letters now have | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
been sent to that prison in Iran and many tweets, | :03:25. | :03:34. | |
some of which Nazanin got to see on That has cheered her up, | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
and one I think we'll cheer the whole campaign up, | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
I got a chance to speak to the Prime Minister tonight and asked, | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
will she be thinking about Nazanin She said she would be | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
thinking of her and all the other people who are in very | :03:50. | :04:05. | |
difficult situations in the world, and she said the government would be | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
keeping up pressure on the Iranian regime, in the best way they think | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
they can to get Nazanin freed. A serious case review | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
is underway after a Portsmouth woman was found guilty | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
of murdering her 19-day-old son. Nicola Brown was also | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
convicted of causing grievous bodily harm to baby Jake, | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
who died two years ago, after suffering a serious head | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
injury and multiple fractured ribs. Her husband, Jason Brown, | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
was found not guilty of allowing As Steve Humphrey reports, | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
the family were known Baby Jake suffered a series | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
of injuries during his short life. Today, his mother Nicola Brown | :04:31. | :04:42. | |
was convicted of murdering her baby son and causing fractured ribs | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
on previous occasions. The boy's father Jason Brown left | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
court after being found not guilty of causing or allowing the death | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
of a child. As the jury returned its verdict, | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
Nicola Brown shouted repeatedly from the dock, | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
she said, "I didn't do it, I did not do it, they have | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
made a huge mistake. I hope this haunts you | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
until the day you die." Senior detectives say | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
it was a difficult case. It has been a complex investigation | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
piecing together the short It is important for us | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
to establish who has been The family was living | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
at Agincourt Road in Portsmouth. During the trial, Nicola Brown, | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
on the right, described how the lights went out in her baby's | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
died when she was feeding him. Baby Jake died later | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
that day in hospital. The jury was told Mrs Brown had | :05:35. | :05:52. | |
anxiety issues, was taking antidepressants and had been | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
in denial about her pregnancy. The court was told social | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
services had been alerted He had been deemed at risk | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
but not at immediate harm. Midwives visited the family twice | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
but no concerns were raised. The Portsmouth Safeguarding Children | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
Board is now conducting The judge told her she would be | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
sentenced in the New Year after a psychiatric | :06:15. | :06:28. | |
report has been prepared. Steve Humphrey, BBC South Today, | :06:29. | :06:29. | |
at Winchester Crown Court. Sussex Police says it's | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
investigating six separate reports of historical sex abuse at football | :06:33. | :06:33. | |
clubs in the county. None of the claims relate | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
to league sides Brighton The force says the offences | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
were allegedly committed by six Across the UK there have been | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
reports of abuse relating Further strike action meant it's | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
been another difficult day for commuters unable to travel | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
by Southern Rail. Another ten days of action | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
are already scheduled. It's the most significant disruption | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
to trains for 20 years. But the Prime Minister today said | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
she won't consider proposed new anti-strike legislation, | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
and aims to focus instead Beachfront homes are again at risk | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
at Pagham in West Sussex after sea defences - | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
designed to protect them over Residents are worried that any | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
further high tides or bad weather They've been waiting for more | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
than a year for a planning decision over more effective defences, | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
as Sean Killick reports. But it was a different | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
picture here on Friday. Just days after the local | :07:34. | :07:45. | |
council put 10,000 cubic metres of shingle down, | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
a tidal surge coincided That has resulted in the loss | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
of the majority of shingle that had been put to increase the depth | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
to the beach crest. They will be concerned because this | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
was a defence for the winter. We have two very high tides | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
over the coming months. That will be the protection that | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
has been washed away. I'm not aware of any other emergency | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
work being undertaken. The district council says it | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
will undertake work as resources allow and it has carried out | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
significant works in recent years including building a rock | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
revetement, and it believes the work carried out last week reduced | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
the effect of the tidal surge. We had the tidal surge come | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
through two metres above normal. It came as far as the edge | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
of the vegetation which is Pagham parish council wants to cut | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
through a shingle bank which has appeared in recent years, | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
altering the currents, and the council believes | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
causing beach erosion. Whatever happens with the planning | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
application, work won't be getting underway in the next couple | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
of months which means the residents in the seafront properties | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
here will remain vulnerable to the worst of the storms | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
for the remainder of this winter. Sean Killick, BBC | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
South Today, Pagham. We're back tomorrow | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
with bulletins in BBC Breakfast - and there's more through the night | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
on the BBC news channel. Right now, Alexis Green is here | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
with our regional weather forecast Thank you. We are looking for the | :08:57. | :09:07. | |
weather for the week ahead up to and including the Christmas weekend. We | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
start an HLA note with some rain and drizzle at times, sunny spells as | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
well and a strong wind, especially towards the weekend. For some, | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
clearing skies and we may have a touch of frost with the temperature | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
falling to freezing or just above. Laws of 3- sex and the winds light, | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
so the possibility of light rain or patchy drizzle. One showers | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
especially along the south coast on the Isle of White, some may drift | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
inland but generally dry with the temperature reaching a high of five. | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
Quite chilly out in the open but the wind will be liked. Tomorrow night | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
we start on a dry note work through the early hours, the clouds will | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
thicken from the west and we see outbreaks of light and patchy are | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
moving in from the West with the temperature tomorrow falling to | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
three Celsius, so a chilly start and the wet start with this band of rain | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
which will clear Easter words and a dry interlude with some sunny spells | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
before the next batch of rain arrives. Fragmented rain and very | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
patchy in nature with the high of five. Warmer temperatures on | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
Thursday through the course of Thursday we see this Reg of high | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
pressure building in with the chance of rain and showers at times but | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
drying out through the course of the day. The next batch of rain on the | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
way with this low pressure moving in on Thursday and into the early hours | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
of Friday, Friday see some strong winds and the winds increased | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
through the course of the day and coming wet Friday night into the | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
early hours of Saturday morning, so a dry start and some brighter spells | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
but the rain will push on from the West and the wind increases in | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
strength. The chance of gales for the south coast. Looking to the | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
weekend, called with The rest of the weekend, some rain | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
around, windy, but with dry and bright spells. | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
Heavy weather is brewing, it will not reach us just yet. It will take | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
a good few days before the stormy weather reaches us. At the moment, | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
it's just potential, nothing is certain, but it will be different to | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
what we've had over the last few weeks, it's been so calm. We have a | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
jet stream raging out of North America making a beeline for the UK. | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
