He narrowly failed to realise his goal of becoming the first British | :00:07. | :00:14. | |
sailor to win the gruelling Vendee Globe round the world race, | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
But Alex Thomson from Gosport was still greeted as a returning | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
hero, met by thousands of cheering supporters as he crossed the finish | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
He hasn't seen a soul for 74 days, he lost his starboard foil after | :00:26. | :00:41. | |
just two weeks and slept five hours in the past three days. | :00:42. | :00:50. | |
At dawn Alex Thompson arrived into France a hero. | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
Sometimes you think, I say to myself, why am I doing this? | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
But you don't have a choice, that point you | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
To finish in second place, I am chuffed. | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
His journey started at Haslam Marina in | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
1999, he had become the youngest sailor to win the | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
around the world yacht race and wanted a new adventure. | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
Usually there are around 30 people working | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
here, but today there is no-one here because they are all in France. | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
We respect him so much for what he has | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
done but we see the four-year build-up | :01:24. | :01:24. | |
naval architects, the marketing, the PR, everything that goes | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
into this, it is a phenomenal effort saw Alex | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
is quite right with the star man but we are also | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
aware of the 20, 30 or | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
more people who are working tirelessly to get him | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
Here they hope Alex's achievements will | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
He is probably not in too much danger of being stopped on the high | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
street, that is the difference, whereas in France he is | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
What is it like for Alex being back on shore? | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
He sealed nine times around the world. | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
He will switch straight back into normal mode very | :02:02. | :02:13. | |
quickly, but physically the race will have drawn from him and it | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
will take two or three months to get himself back to his normal shoreside | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
physique so it does have a tremendous effect, it is three | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
Mike saved Alex's life as they raced each other | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
in the Southern Ocean in | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
Think they have unfinished business, if | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
I haven't asked yet, but it would be difficult not to. | :02:38. | :02:49. | |
The third, the second, there is only one thing to | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
I think I have to say yes because he will do it anyway! | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
Celebrate, sleep and back to Gosport to plot the path to 2020. | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
Changes which make it harder to get a UK Visa are being blamed | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
for a significant drop in the number of foreign students coming | :03:03. | :03:04. | |

Giuseppe is in Bournemouth for six months, he is to learn English. | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
As an Italian student he can work, too, but that may not be the case if | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
In the morning I have school and in the afternoon I | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
go to work and also I learn quickly because at the shop I speak every | :03:32. | :03:35. | |

The Anglo Continental is Bournemouth's biggest | :03:40. | :03:49. | |
language school and last year they were down 800 students. | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
Brexit has not helped but the fall in numbers | :03:53. | :04:06. | |
is also down to the UK Visa process, seen as overly difficult compared | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
Now students around the world have the opinion | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
that the United Kingdom is very unwelcoming to international | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
students so a lot of students don't even consider the UK any more if | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
they are going to get an unfriendly reception at the point of obtaining | :04:20. | :04:22. | |

If I stay in Australia or New Zealand, I can | :04:38. | :04:41. | |

Yes, I can work in New Zealand or Australia but in England I can't. | :04:44. | :04:49. | |

There were subsequently a Home Office crackdown. | :05:01. | :05:21. | |
Some employers rely on seasonal staff form the EU. | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
Some are going home because they do not feel welcome, | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
People go where the work is so if they can | :05:28. | :05:40. | |
work and study then they will go elsewhere. | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
Last year the fall in students what job losses, there will | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
be more to come if the UK continues to lose out | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
