Six women attacked by a gang of men in Portsmouth say they're now

:00:11.:00:15.

They say they were set upon by twenty to thirty men,

:00:16.:00:19.

who shouted homophobic abuse as they punched and kicked them.

:00:20.:00:22.

James Ingham spoke to three of the women, who asked

:00:23.:00:24.

There's one punch, jawline fractured here

:00:25.:00:32.

from the bruise that you can see just there.

:00:33.:00:34.

All of my top seven front teeth are completely away.

:00:35.:00:38.

It was horrific what happened, but coming in afterwards,

:00:39.:00:40.

after being in the hospital, and my son seeing me with no teeth.

:00:41.:00:44.

That was more painful than any blow that could have, could have been,

:00:45.:00:48.

because he doesn't understand why someone's done that.

:00:49.:00:51.

It's, it's a vicious animal thing that's ruined six women's lives.

:00:52.:00:58.

The women were walking home from a night out in this

:00:59.:01:01.

who they believe are Polish - brutally attacked them,

:01:02.:01:11.

They were just punching me, kicking me, pulling my hair,

:01:12.:01:15.

grabbing me inappropriately and calling me a dirty dyke.

:01:16.:01:19.

As a group as well, it's shattered us - completely.

:01:20.:01:27.

The women are upset with the way Hampshire police

:01:28.:01:34.

responded that night - and in the days that followed.

:01:35.:01:39.

Like they're there to do a job and I don't feel

:01:40.:01:43.

My friend was telling the police to call for an ambulance

:01:44.:01:46.

and they turned round and said she can get a taxi.

:01:47.:01:49.

And I'm seizuring - blood's coming out of my mouth -

:01:50.:01:52.

on the floor and the police, none of them even come

:01:53.:01:54.

The police have told us homophobic crimes are treated

:01:55.:01:58.

While four men they arrested have now been released,

:01:59.:02:03.

they say several lines of enquiry are ongoing.

:02:04.:02:12.

West Sussex firefighters have been out in force

:02:13.:02:14.

in Littlehampton tonight, dealing with

:02:15.:02:16.

an incident in a two storey building on Pier Road.

:02:17.:02:19.

The alarm was raised at just after six thirty,

:02:20.:02:21.

amid concern people may have been trapped.

:02:22.:02:24.

Eight fire crews were sent, and staff wearing breathing

:02:25.:02:26.

The cause is still being investigated.

:02:27.:02:32.

There are no reports of any injuries.

:02:33.:02:35.

Workers at BMW plants in Cowley and Swindon were on strike today

:02:36.:02:38.

Members of the Unite union took part in industrial action,

:02:39.:02:42.

in protest at plans to close the company's final

:02:43.:02:44.

BMW says it wants to protect future pension provision

:02:45.:02:48.

While many from the south were running in London today,

:02:49.:03:03.

the city of Southampton was staging it's first marathon

:03:04.:03:05.

The race was won by a local man, tackling the distance

:03:06.:03:08.

Pounding the streets is tough enough - but add in features like the steep

:03:09.:03:13.

incline of the Itchen Bridge, across and back again,

:03:14.:03:15.

and the Southampton marathon was clearly not one for the faint

:03:16.:03:18.

hearted - or anyone who hadn't put the training in.

:03:19.:03:30.

These guys have already run the first 13 miles. Lots of people from

:03:31.:03:37.

our club. Lots of support. A Saints legend was among

:03:38.:03:38.

those taking part. People from Southampton turned out

:03:39.:03:53.

and he does a lot of support. -- and gave us.

:03:54.:03:53.

Three races were being run simultaneously -

:03:54.:03:56.

a 10k, a half marathon, and for the first time in three

:03:57.:03:59.

But there was certainly a competitive edge -

:04:00.:04:02.

Born and bred in Southampton and so to win the race and run past were I

:04:03.:04:09.

The event's also been a winner for the city -

:04:10.:04:13.

bringing hundreds of thousands into the local economy -

:04:14.:04:15.

and raising many more for local good causes.

:04:16.:04:17.

OK - what's the weather got in store for the working week?

:04:18.:04:20.

We've got a bit of cloud out there and will see more cloud

:04:21.:04:25.

Still some clear spells so the potential for temperatures

:04:26.:04:29.

to drop quite low but for most of us it will be milder.

:04:30.:04:31.

A grey start tomorrow, some sunshine further south.

:04:32.:04:33.

A lot more cloud further north with showers, these could be on the

:04:34.:04:36.

Sunshine into the afternoon and with the brightness, it

:04:37.:04:40.

will be mild with highs of 15 degrees.

:04:41.:04:41.

Noticeably colder from Tuesday onwards with overnight frost and

:04:42.:04:44.

We're back with regular bulletins during BBC Breakfast tomorrow.

:04:45.:04:53.

It has been a fine and dry day, and it the sunshine temperatures were

:04:54.:05:15.

about 17 degrees. But a change in weather as we had through this week.

:05:16.:05:21.

Wintry showers and some frosty night in the forecast over the next few

:05:22.:05:28.

nights. We have a cold front starting to work

:05:29.:05:29.
