Nigel Farage has to set out the bricks it party s policy platform for the election describing it as a contract with the people as well as a clean break Breck s it he wants an annual cap of $50000.00 on permanent immigration insisting any skills shortages could be filled by training more young people in trade jobs rather than arts degrees mean all of the general election looming many Churchills and balls are being booked up with hustings meetings the time candidates can address potential voters want to teach and data directly from the island is arranging hustings event at a barn ride however it comes with a twist as they ve banned the word bricks it organizer Jay Palmer says it s going to be tough not to mention the b word it will be very difficult everyone s talking about bricks and it does have a bigger impact of C.R. s but hopefully the candidates and the audience who were to give a straw and really focus on these other issues which I m sure many of the candidates . It s really do you want to be talking about and want to be surrendered this campaign talking about those key issues and what we re going to afford a little big turning point for our country never happens right and finally was.

The radio said it needs a full minutes past 5 thanks Karen. Let s turn our attention to the very very wet weather Shereen Jordan what is going on sorry yes this afternoon has been and I got rained on a little bit murky we do some have a yellow warning for rain in place from the Met Office that will last until 6 o clock tomorrow night for western parts of Dorset we could see some disruption in the rights locally we could see up to 30 minute meters of rainfall especially on higher ground as we head into tonight then we will see some dry conditions for a time but sickening cloud will then bring spells of rain in 3 for the rest of the night quite breezy tea with a brisk easterly wind blows this evening off between 7 to 9 degrees as we head into Saturday morning well it starts wets that s what s in store for us we re going to see spells of rain and drizzle throughout the morning as we head into Saturday afternoon though it will turn slightly dry a lot of clout they were around that. Linger for some time still brisk easterly winds tomorrow with highs of 12 degrees as we had Sesay evening there will still be a good deal of cloud around and we could see some patchy mist and folk over higher ground where the cloud breaks it should be by mostly dry on Saturday nights and lows of 4 degrees now that mist info could be slow to left as we get into Sunday morning when it does lift though it could go into a low cloud and that will link it throughout much of Sunday mostly dry day and the best a day out of the 2 of the weekend less breezy than Saturday we could see some sunny spells and some brightness and Sam as we had overnight into the start of the new working week while more wind and rain in store for us this is not good news because rolled in and over his 3 little was a weekend when just a Christmas market not mine well yes I am but I is obviously going to be rather damp fat so go early to get a parking spot I don t think I m going by the train yeah very if you like your public transport I love a bit of public transport and of course a patch we can put into Corum has just gone Wet Wet Wet 3 little. We re going to win just the 2 more I learned We are other thing we need to have a conversation because I m also having my other 3 little words champagne celebration take off I know very excited so what s your 3 little words lunch chocolate. Lunch chocolate and babies well it doesn t matter what the weather is then does a. B.b.c. Radio. Phrase. earlier on in the show when Alan Sinclair popped in for a chance you ll have heard a little about the distressing story that we re going to be talking about now livestock have been found in the New Forest which would be mutilated and killed and some left with satanic or occult marks on their bodies they have been a number of attacks in Brum short 2 sheep of being killed is believed to have happened on Tuesday night and a half was injured by stab wound the local church has also been targeted with graffiti a few days before on Sunday 3 cattle were injured in a knife attack at Linford 7 miles away retired couple Judy and Norman rods from found some of the animals 2 sheep each on Monday night Tuesday morning a week apart there were also some cattle stabbed one. Stabbed or slashed not to show us some. Nearer to Lynwood but one in this area so again it s someone who is trying to injure animals I saw see dead sheep at the top of the road with aerosol symbols sprayed on it so whatever the reason for it and my guess is it was intended to. Shock rather than anything else it s still very both agreeing to have someone with a knife prepared to use it because the sheep had been stabbed to death and the symbol described. They were a mixture of symbols and again it looked as though it was intended to cause upset I didn t get too close because I had the docs with me so I didn t say I didn t identify symbols one not like the bam the bombs which offend. How frightening to have this on the doorstep. I don t agree it s done to shock or you don t derive knifing animals simply to shock people. It s related to my view related to some something other than simply the desire to read. It or the witchcraft or whatever what is it like to know that this is in the right on your doorstep rather worrying specially as it would be extremely difficult to catch whoever it is even with a big police presence it would be very. In an area like this to find out who it is but the idea of someone with a knife prepared to use it is all 3 yes I was Judy and Norman Rod s talking to our reporter Tristan Pascoe Well one of the dead sheep was killed and painted with a symbol known as a pentagram all Satan star a star symbol is also painted on the animals face appears to be a cross on the far right young cows also stabbed a needed vet retreatment the owner agreed to be indeed but she didn t want her identity revealed all at out in the morning to let the men. In this abrasion on the on the animal and on the side of the neck obviously I was quite concerned and study and then call the vet to find out what happened and it looks like a sniper Yes it did. Say what s been going on in the village the last few days I was very concerned about the situation and how does it make you feel emotionally about what s happened I m very concerned because like for the welfare of the animals and the people on the forests that. Go out there what would your message be to people in the forests at the moment to be very vigilant and to keep their eyes out for any think that. They think this is specious because it s quite concerned in and scary Do you think people will be bringing livestock in. No I don t think so but I think of the Say that be you know a study in that last talk more than what they normally day keeping an eye out for ashers Yeah yeah yeah I think you ve got to because it s happened quite often and last week. Steve humpy reporting that graffiti has also been discovered on some Peters Church in it s been dubbed with satanic and phallic symbols is not certain if what happened to the church is related to the attacks on the animals the vicar some pieces is the reference David Bacon a very basic level it s annoying because good people had to come along and clear up afterwards. Is it more significant than just a bit of fun people thinking they have an affair fun I don t know I think has any sinister terms I ve been told that one of the symbols was a 666 which of course is a biblical sawin of. The sort of thing is is rare yes we ve not had anything here for a long time do you think it s a mass of people in the area keeping their eyes open and looking out for mutual activity yeah I mean that s the only security we have really is is people near people dogs people come to visit grapes. I m sure police has issued an appeal for information about the attacks they say these are unusual incidents and that trying to find out what happened and if they are all linked to urging anyone who uses the forest including communists to be vigilant and to contact them if they see anything suspicious.

Emailed in from Lymington say Sam It s not just the chocolate box image that is floated around the natives and welcoming to others it can feel sinister to live here or on the edge of the forest just to point out that he she finds that the New Forest is not perhaps as as we might like to think of it and certainly that story very very disturbing and there will be more on it from $630.00 on b.b.c.

Email Sam got Fraser at b.b.c. Don t kowtow u.k. You can text on 813 star you message the word servant or cool 808103800 that s the number now let s return to the general election campaign trail this week we ve been following all of the party leaders around as they try to win your vote today is the turn of Labor s Jeremy call been he s been campaigning in Stoke on Trent and he spoke to our political reporter Pete so on a canal boat Hello Pete s. Hello how you doing well it s and I think I m having as good a time as you are it sounds quite like the way you are but it sounds it doesn t it they just turn the music up I think you know to be honest they were delivering afternoon say a short while ago and now the cocktails are starting to come out which means it s definitely Friday night here in stark contrast that I ve been on about stay with Jeremy Corbyn as he s saying creating that interview on a canal by you with a pottery manufacturer earlier only was given a lesson in how to paint on a on a pottery place he held up the plane it said register to vote on it I was with the key messages he wanted to get across that if they d. Voter registration deadline next Tuesday then he wants the canal by one of the more strange campaign locations there was a bizarre moment where he was leaning out of the window of the boat and delivering the local speciality oatcakes to some members of his team and also his wife it was with him today now we don t often see very much of Lowry she keeps a very low profile but of course you know she will become effectively the 1st lady of the u.k. Should he win the Premier become prime minister so yeah and we saw for example boxing him around see you know she said him can you bring me a hot chocolate and he tried to bring a hot chocolate and he was stopped from getting a hot chocolate by his advisers was hungry but he returned very much to familiar territory in the afternoon dressing packs a town hall full of Labor activists already the message from him was to go out and knock on as many doors as possible in what is a cheap battleground here in this general election we re getting a sense that huge determination amongst supporters of our party to take the message out there and whilst the media framed the election the very beginning of the BRICs election is of course a very very important issue it s not the only us I m picking up much more is health housing education and environment issues that coming up much more young people tend to raise environment issues as well as house in older people trying to raise hell 6 years but it s not exclusive because it goes into all directions and so. Is trying to address the issues of the need for investment in our country for the future. That s a manifesto launch yesterday did seem very confident from Jeremy Koeppen and he certainly got a great reaction How s his day being today in the wake of it. Yeah I mean when you see these campaign visits on the t.v. What they don t show you is pretty much the age man is really and often there aren t many interactions with wooden revotes in. So it s hard to say at this early stage found a manifesto is going down here in Stoke on Chan he did have one quite difficult moment actually Jeremy called him when he came off the canal boat and there are a couple of men on the bridge above the canal doing him and shouting we back Boris to get Bragg s it done so far seems to be very happy that that particular slogan is cutting through in Stoke on Trent bottom to get a sense here that there s much election fever in spite of the huge attention that is on China wanted just up the road from here into town sends a short while ago to see how voters in these key battleground are feeling. With the brush and things going on or not going on in the future I m fraid you watch and watch the I m going to vocal. Quality interesting but no idea. When I may have been told they just seem to pull down the other party they don t say what they again today they just like a field to say we re just confused it s got General actually going on. I m not. You know heard about that. They can t really be somebody left as the herd bait. Yeah I think she was pulling my leg to be honest. And them how dare we call been approaching this evening specially does edition of Question Time. Where he told me that he would be courteous calm explain his policies he really wants to pick up that manifesto that was launched yesterday he does believe there are loads of things in there that are potential value when it is but I think you ll come under quite close scrutiny tonight for how he s going to pay for some of those very very expensive pledges often Question Time audience members ask much better questions than we do as chairman as I think and they provided for some quite awkward moments for senior politicians over the years remember back in 2015 actually had Miliband almost falling off the stage one point so I think Jeremy Corbyn Boris Johnson and the Lib Dems need a choice Winston the s.n.p. Nicolas sturgeon who ll have often hours have. You know I think we re. Serious. In the. Anything else. 8. On the election campaign trail. And. The train starting to run again with the. And now 531 on his headlines with Caroline Rundle a group of British orphans arrived back in the u.k. From northern Syria for the 1st children to be repatriated from territory previously held by the Islamic state group.

Yes as the rain falls Carolina feet up let s hear about that rain Sara has the details thanks ever so much more we have seen some heavy spells of rain at times today even some lightning strikes in parts we do have a yellow weather warning in place for western parts of Dorset which is valid right through until 6 o clock tomorrow evening that s for that rainfall as well continue to see spells of rain on and off as we go through the overnight period in particular so through this evening maybe some cloudy drizzly conditions in parts but gradually we ll see a band of rain pushing northwards that s going to bring us some heavier and more persistent Best s overnight temperatures down to 7 or 8 degrees and still in that on the breezy side to Saturday morning then and some rain may just linger in parts but gradually as an imperial proving picture it doesn t like we ll see some dry conditions developing through the course of the afternoon probably. Limited brightness with 12 degrees in some spots some day perhaps a bit of fog for some of us gradually seeing some bright and cheery skies some sunny spells to look forward to the dry conditions don t hang on for too long mind you because the wet and windy weather come Monday.

I think when my mother died things came home to me in a different way because you start thinking about ancestry and I started looking through some of her old paperwork. To follow here the starting point was the papers that related to her struggle to get compensation from the computer I don t know why I started with those Maybe they were easier to read because a lot of them were typed and it was only subsequently that I started reading the personal letters looking at other documentation and what started off as intended to be a 2 week job just kept growing and it s dated January 9th you ve obviously there is so much information online now that it quickly expand it. Through the documents a while contacted numerous individuals Facebook groups and organizations each providing a further piece of the jigsaw the lives of my grandparents my mother s parents commemorated in the remembrance book compiled by the German government which is available online as well as in various other documents there are camps wreck ords and from that I ve been able to discover that my grandparents were both transported to terezín starts and subsequently put on a train to take them to Auschwitz camp it s not know when they died there I guess from one point of view I feel that the shorter their stay where. Less hard it would have been. However painful the journey believes he s closer to his mother as a result. Much closer to understanding what she had to endure much more impressed and astonished at how she managed to get through the difficulties and how she protected me and my sister from her experiences. Could have been much more significant impact on our lives Hutchie dwelt on her past or exposed us to it further when we were younger.

A quarter of staff are docs such as hospitals wouldn t recommend their friends and relatives have treatment there that s according to a survey of staff at Oxford University Hospitals Trust which has been published today at a public board meeting our report of a Jones was there and he told me more about the survey just to give you an idea the vice chairman of the hospital board of trustees described the answers to this questionnaire as sobering but not surprising there were a number of key questions where the hospitals schools this year were significantly lower than last year more than a 3rd of staff didn t look forward to going to work just 29 percent felt there were enough staff at the hospitals to do their job properly importantly 79 percent of staff felt satisfied with the quality of care they gave to patients that was down from 84 percent last year and as you say only 75 percent would be happy with the standard of care if a friend or relative needed treatment all of this the board said made it clear that staff were feeling the pressure and felt disconnected from leaders in senior managers presumably they didn t just hear the report they must have some plans to improve things what are they going to do Yes Well the vice chair said that staff morale at the hospitals was the biggest single challenge that the transport faced he went on to say that it was their responsibility to do something especially because staff morale can affect other areas of the service that they provide Now as part of their response we know that the trust says it will listen to staff concerns group meetings they calling them listening at groups they want staff to be involved in their plans and they re going to agree on areas to prioritize before looking at any specific actions anything else on the agenda at today s board meeting yes the 1st gender pay gap report was also published it shows the difference in pay between men and women working at the hospitals is higher than the national average the issue was discussed at the meeting in Dame Fiona Caldicott who s chair of the Trust said women needed to be given more encouragement to go for a promotion the majority of our medical consultants are men and that shows a pattern that s consistent across the n.h.s. So I think it shows us we ve got a lot to make sure that we re encouraging women in all our professions and posts to fulfil their potential.

Queen is to send a message of condolence to the family of Professor Stephen Hawking who died last night at his home in Cambridge he was 76 he was given just 2 years to live when he was diagnosed with motor neuron disease at $21.00 but went on to become a towering figure of physics leading scientists have said his work on black holes and a unified theory of the universe will go on to inspire compass generations that s have a word with astrophysicist. Gillian Welcome to the program tell me how you very much how will you remember Professor Stephen Hawking. Well he s not someone I ever met personally or worked with professionally but I think the thing that will stick with me the most is his book a brief history of time it s something I read as a kid and it s one of those books you know some books when you read when you re very young they just stick with you through your life it was one of those for me so I think the the impact he had through the public conception of thinking about space and time will really last of a long time and his legacy in the scientific community. Just he was such an impact and. His resolute Shamir a ways of thinking about black holes and that that s going to stay I mean he I remember a story of someone going to one of his talks an expert in the field going to one of his talk coming out and saying I didn t quite follow the math I ll have to sit down and look at it but I m sure it holds up. You are going to be appearing in Oxford this weekend as part of the Oxford Literary Festival what you re going to be talking about I ve just written a book called Master critical it curious journey through a cosmic family tree thought we talking a bit about that and how it came to be and why it s full of such weird bits on space and outer space and how it all works and what you could do if you could bend it or break it in some unusual way it s one of those things you could never ever stop pondering about as long as there is humanity will be pondering.

From a couple of years ago Grace with that cover of You Don t Own Me original of 963 Leslie God Incidentally the 963 original was produced by Quincy Jones who is 85 today great great man of popular music production what a skilled turn he has 9 minutes to 7 Stephen Hawking one of the world s most famous theoretical physicists has died 76 years old he was the author of a bestselling book on the origins of the universe and defied predictions that he would die in his early twenty s stag nosed motor neuron disease and when he was about 21 they told him he probably only had a couple of years and here he is finally leaving us at 76 lived a long and successful life the b.b.c. Science reports that Rebecca Morel looks back now at that life a little my name is Stephen The instantly recognisable voice of the cosmologist he became a cultural icon Stephen Hawking brought physics to the mainstream I think I assured . Him that I have. Hair so pretty and I got back back. Back and he was an inspiration to many for accomplishing all of this despite a debilitating disease erratic office success one of the few. Which being disabled just know. It s all in the mind it was at university that Stephen Hawking s talent for science began to shine through he found physics ridiculously easy and didn t have to work that hard Stevens mother Isabel spoke to the b.b.c. In 2002 I think Stephen was a very normal young man he liked parties he liked pretty girls only pretty ones. He. And he did to some extent like work but there were already signs that something wasn t right and while studying for his Ph d. At Cambridge University he was diagnosed with a form of motor neuron disease a degenerative condition that causes progressive weakness a muscle wastage the Astronomer Royal Martin Reese was a postgraduate student with Stephen I remember this young man already walking with difficulty who was embark on his thesis and was told that he may not live to finish his Ph d. But he defied this prognosis and went on to make his biggest theoretical breakthroughs I suppose his greatest single achievement. The one he said he wanted to have inscribed on his gravestone was an equation which linked together 3 previously unconnected areas of physics it linked together the nature of gravity the quantum principle and terms in attics and this is the so-called Hawking radiation. So stable basically be talking about insanity. As Professor Hawking s condition progressed his speech became increasingly slurred and after about 70 Monye of that nearly killed him he lost his capacity to speak entirely he had to use a speech synthesizer which created the voice that became his trademark people describe that section some American but Americans say the Scandinavian or Irish.
