I'm Edward Sault with the news in the south. | :00:00. | :00:16. | |
It's been revealed that the Red Funnel ferry service, | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
which was put up for sale earlier this month, could be | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
The service connects Cowes to Southampton and now one political | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
group on the island council has said it is actively pursuing investors. | :00:28. | :00:37. | |
I have been to the island today to gauge reaction. | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
Business as usual today as the 12 noon car ferry sailing | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
to Southampton loads up at East Cowes. | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
It's estimated it would cost over ?200 million for the council to buy | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
Red Funnel, but is it really something the island can afford? | :00:50. | :00:57. | |
Every single businessperson, resident, shopkeeper on the Isle of | :00:58. | :01:05. | |
White is reliant on the Isle of Wight ferries and it is very | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
important that if we are going to secure the economic future of the | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
Isle of White, we take a really close look at our key transport | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
But the idea hasn't been met with universal approval. | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
Why are they selling? Probably because the investors now want a | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
return on their money. If new investors come in, they will want a | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
return on their money. If the Isle of Wight Council gets involved, it | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
would like to think it would stay with it for the longevity to do | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
something about the ferries in the future. | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
The company says they are reviewing their ownership of the firm after | :01:41. | :01:51. | |
many years and they are key to speak to interested parties, but say they | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
are determined to maintain a good service for islanders. I think it is | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
a good idea providing they can afford it in the first place and | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
they will not overload the community tax to make everyone here pay for | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
it. There have been so many complaints about ferries, but to | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
take it into part ownership of the island is a phenomenal idea. It is | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
something associated with the island that we really need. | :02:18. | :02:18. | |
to cause waves in the run up to May's local elections. | :02:19. | :02:26. | |
A pilot and his passenger had a lucky escape last night | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
after their helicopter crashed in Reading. | :02:30. | :02:30. | |
The aircraft came down in the Caversham area on the banks | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
It's thought to have lost control over a housing estate called | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
Eyewitness Luke Howroyd, who took this photo, | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
said he saw it spin out of control and land with a thud. | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
Bournemouth MP Tobias Ellwood has been honoured for his heroism | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
in the London terror attack by being appointed | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
to the Privy Council, a formal body of advisers | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
Mr Ellwood, who is also a Foreign Office minister, | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
battled to save the life of PC Keith Palmer who was killed in last | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
Police investigating a suspected murder in Winchester have | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
Carl Scott's body was found at a house in Birch Court | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
in the Stanmore area on Wednesday afternoon. | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
A 58-year-old is being questioned about the death. | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
Football now and in League One it was victory | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
The Oxford and MK Dons matches both ended in 0-0 draws. | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
While in League Two there was a bit more to cheer | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
about with a Portsmouth win over Newport County. | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
A teenager who made a video about growing up with a brain tumour | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
has reached his target in an online fundraising appeal. | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
Lewis Hine, from Portsmouth, wanted to raise ?15,000 | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
for teenagers who had missed their school proms | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
through illness or disability to have their own party. | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
He marked his own sixteenth birthday recently by posting this video | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
which has been watched more than 20 million times | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
Good evening, we have had a beautiful day today and if you had | :03:59. | :04:22. | |
shelter from the breeze, it was warm. Tonight is a rather chilly | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
one. A bit of cloud drifting in and out at times and lows of three or 4 | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
degrees. Another chilly start tomorrow, but yet again it will be | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
dry. A bright and breezy day and temperatures are a notch down on | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
today at 14 or 15. It stay settled on Monday and we get the wind | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
picking up in the middle part of the week | :04:47. | :05:00. | |
with a risk of showers. We like the look of that. There is more on the | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
BBC News website and on the BBC News Channel. I am back at ten to seven | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
tomorrow evening on BBC One. Goodbye. | :05:08. | :05:08. | |
Good evening. What a belter of a day it has been. If you missed out on | :05:09. | :05:24. | |
the sunshine, don't worry, we will get more tomorrow. The one | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
exception, the Shetland Islands, shrouded in cloud. Elsewhere it has | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
been a stunner. The highest temperature of the year so far, 19 | :05:35. | :05:38. |
