Hello and welcome to South Today, I'm Edward Sault. | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
The top stories this evening: All eyes on June the 8th - | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
Seven weeks of campaigning from MP's who want to keep their seats | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
Will a stab collection finally make an elected Prime Minister? | :00:22. | :00:31. | |
Plus the disappearing act of the coach company that's taken | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
bookings but left customers like these swimmers high and dry. | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
And a good deal of dry weather this week with some sunshine and the | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
weather for the week ahead shortly. In tonight's programme, | :00:41. | :00:49. | |
reaction from the South to this morning's announcement | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
from the Prime Minister, Teresa May. We will be voting in | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
a General Election on June the 8th. It follows the vote for Brexit | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
which split the South, And we face seven weeks | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
of campaigning from MPs who want to keep their seats | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
in southern constituencies. Our political editor, Peter Henley, | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
has spent the day in the prime Across the South - | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
as at Westminster - The call for a snap election has | :01:08. | :01:23. | |
been the only conversation for commuters. They set off to work this | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
morning completely unaware of the prospect of seven weeks of | :01:31. | :01:31. | |
campaigning. Across the South - | :01:32. | :01:31. | |
as at Westminster - news of the snap election came | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
as a surprise. I just have that on the news, I was | :01:34. | :01:46. | |
absolutely staggered. I can't really see the reason why. She's only just | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
got in. I think it's a good thing. After the Brexit thing, people don't | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
have a chance to have their say. And here in Theresa May's own safe | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
seat of Maidenhead the local conservative group had no idea | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
it was coming. I didn't know what to expect and I | :02:04. | :02:13. | |
just thought, it's got to be serious because Prime ministers don't make | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
announcements from the steps of number ten unless they are serious. | :02:18. | :02:18. | |
And other Berkshire MPs agree it's the right move. | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
It's very important to have that strong backing in parliament to make | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
sure gales can't be turned down at the last minute and make sure the | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
Prime Minister's hand isn't forced at any stage of the negotiation. She | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
has to be any strong position to make sure we get the best Britain. | :02:39. | :02:39. | |
However, a former Reading MP - this time a Labour one - | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
thinks the hastily called vote could backfire. | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
ID Tech no appetite out there for a snap general election. We've just | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
come through a very divisive referendum. This is a con job, | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
political opportunism by the Conservative Party, and I think it | :02:59. | :02:59. | |
could come back to bite them. Labour will be hoping | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
to pick up votes in Reading where they run the council - | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
but first they need candidates - neither of the town's | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
two seats has one yet. And the Liberal Democrats will have | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
to get moving to select a candidate in Eastleigh, | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
where in 2015 they lost their seat Nationally, the Lib Dems are banking | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
on bagging Remain voters to secure This we have a big debate about | :03:14. | :03:27. | |
whether we're in the single market are not and that matters for jobs | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
and investment particularly in places that have strong | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
manufacturing sector base. That is why we need more liberal Democrats | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
in Parliament fighting the case for a sensible future for this country. | :03:40. | :03:40. | |
The Lib Dems are confident they can mobilise Eastleigh's voters, | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
despite constituents here voting to leave the EU. | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
It's possible today's announcement may not be the only surprise | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
Theresa May may think she has long fitted labour and it'll be a | :03:49. | :04:06. | |
divisive business but one thing we may get from this is clarity over | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
Brexit. Each party will have to nail colours to the mast and we will have | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
a better idea of what they are looking for. | :04:15. | :04:15. | |
Two men from Dorset have been sent to prison for filming themselves | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
having sex with a teenage girl, and then publishing | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
24-year-old Connor Hayes from Bournemouth and William Wright, | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
who's also 24, from Bovington, have been jailed for two years | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
for the offence which dates back to November 2015. | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
The pair have also been handed a Sexual Harm Prevention | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
A Hampshire swimming club claims it's been left high and dry | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
by a coach company that appears to have gone into liquidation. | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
Victory Travel in Portchester has disappeared after taking | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
bookings and then failing to provide transport. | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
These young athletes from Havant Waterlooville Swimming Club | :04:46. | :04:56. | |
are destined for a three-day intensive swimming session that | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
Just days ago, the coach operator, Victory Travel, | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
suddenly disappeared, leaving them ?500 out | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
of pocket, and no way of getting to Crystal Palace. | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
Then we found out at the last minute, no reply. | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
Obviously, this left us a bit in the lurch. | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
It's unprofessional, and when you've got kids' wishes | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
and dreams and goals here, I think they should have stepped up | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
Not having on-course training will effect us badly, | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
because it's part of our important schedule, because that is | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
the pool we race in, and it will impact us massively. | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
After lots of ringing around and another coach bill, | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
Pete's Airlink Minibus has stepped in as a last-minute replacement | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
Just one of many clients who claim they've been left stranded. | :05:47. | :05:55. | |
We've come along to the registered address here in Portchester, | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
The firm that shares the building says the company has closed down, | :05:58. | :06:07. | |
and that we're not the first people to come looking for the director | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
We've made a number of attempts to contact Paul Donald, | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
but tonight our calls and e-mails remain unanswered. | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
And the company's website hasn't been operational | :06:17. | :06:17. | |
Hampshire Trading Standards is urging anyone affected to contact | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
the Citizens Advice consumer helpline. | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
The celebrations continue in Portsmouth and Brighton this | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
evening after both football teams clinched promotion at the same time. | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
For Brighton, it means elevation to the biggest league in the world. | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
For Portsmouth, promotion may be only the first step back | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
to the Premier League, but it was just | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
And for both sets of supporters, it's a well-deserved | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
reward for refusing to let their respective clubs die. | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
Here's Our Sports Editor Tony Husband. | :06:47. | :07:01. | |
at Brighton, they flopped onto the pitch at 5pm yesterday. Promotion | :07:02. | :07:10. | |
inevitable after the latest win but when they are rivals Huddersfield | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
only drew two hours later, promotion was confirmed. Cue another party. | :07:15. | :07:24. | |
Testament really to what the players have given and achieved all season, | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
and also at this stage of the season, to put the run together that | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
we have at this stage of the season is incredibly difficult. That said, | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
we had in the premiership now, Arent we? We have struggled long and hard | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
and I don't think we ever thought and I don't think we ever thought | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
we'd see the day. We have lost generations of fans along the way | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
and a lot of tears were shed yesterday by supporters who had | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
loved ones that hadn't seen the dream becomes reality. Brighton's | :07:54. | :08:02. | |
resurgence is echoed along the coast, 5000 Portsmouth fans | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
celebrated League 2 promotion. It means the road back from football | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
oblivion has started for a club saved by its bands four years ago, | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
almost bankrupt in 2010. Ironically they have choice again, to accept or | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
reject the investment of billionaire reject the investment of billionaire | :08:20. | :08:30. | |
ex-Disney CEO Michael Eisner. It is for the fans and that the decide to | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
hand it on to Michael Eisner it will be with everyone's best wishes and | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
for him to carry us on to where we deserve to beat. The fans are on the | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
right road for now. That's all from the South Today | :08:45. | :08:45. | |
news team this evening. We're back tomorrow with bulletins | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
in BBC Breakfast and there's more Here with our regional | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
weather forecast is Alexis. It's getting colder, almost time for | :08:51. | :09:04. | |
the thermals! We are expecting frost in places. The week as a whole, it | :09:05. | :09:14. | |
will be mainly dry, one North two isolated showers but not a lot of | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
rain to talk of an bird will be some bright and sunny spells. Clear skies | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
and light winds overnight mean the temperature will follow a rapidly to | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
-4 in the countryside, usual cold spots. Elsewhere, laws of the- five | :09:28. | :09:37. | |
and the winds will be like tomorrow as well. Through the day, after a | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
frost the amnesty starting places, lots of sunshine although the | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
sunshine will come hazy through the course of the afternoon with high | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
and medium cloud filling in. The temperature reaching a high of 13 in | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
any sheltered spots and these are places with a slight breeze. The | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
breeze could be slightly stronger for the Isle of Wight and the south | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
coast. The cloud will increase tomorrow night with one North two | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
clear spells but also the chance of patchy, light rain at times and the | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
temperature tomorrow night not as low as to make, down to 6-7, | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
slightly lower in the countryside. Thursday we see a good deal of | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
cloud, one or two brighter spells and maybe a frosty start and some | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
showers but not a lot of rain to talk all. The mainly dry day with | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
the temperature reaching a high of 11-12 and they went fairly light, so | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
the cloud may be quite stubborn to break in a few places. Through | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
Friday we are expecting high pressure to be not too far away from | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
us so through Friday it will be warm to start the day, the chance of some | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
showers from this cold front moving south words and the air behind built | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
on a lot cooler just in time for the weekend. The weekend not dissimilar | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
from the weekend just The weather hasn't been too dramatic | :10:59. | :11:15. | |
of late. That is not say it's not without problems. One | :11:16. | :11:17. |
