his colleagues were getting the ferry ready for the midnight service from portsmouth to the isle of wight head here. and they attempted a throw at the guy. when the man in the water failed to grab the life rings, steve decided to take action. the only way out for him was for someone to go in and yeah, the coat came off, the jumper, and i actually remember grabbing hold of this here and climbing up and slinging myself over the side, without really thinking too much. steve kept the man's head above water as wightlink‘s harbour launch raced to the scene. the casualty was pulled on board and taken into paramedics who were waiting on shore. steve climbed out of the water up this ladder. he was also taken to hospital for a checkup. it was brave. 0ur lads are trained to do these types of exercises. they practice on a regular basis. a truly heroic act? we think so, we are very, very proud of steve. lots of people are saying what you did was heroic. what is your reaction to that? i do not really know, i do not think i am a hero. i was just lucky enough to be around to help someone out in trouble.

it is much closer to the equator than the isle of wight is, and yet sapporo is so freezing that it'su can see some of the images here. we are spared all that, here because unlike sapporo, we have winds from the west coming off a warm sea. we are usually spared, at least. but occasionally, like this week, the wind flips round, and we go full siberia. and there's a paradox here, we get the cold weather, but up north it is unseasonably warm. —— earlier spoke to erik pedersen. he told us about the unusually warm weather they are experiencing. it's unusual because normally it should be 17.1 minus. it is a bit warmer than normal. that is warm. well, it isn't warm, but it is a big difference between normality of where you are. does it matter if it is much warmer where you are? it's difficult to move around with our snowmobiles. it's like driving around in a cream. but it's ok. we have tried it before. connect the warm weather you are having to the cold weather we are having. our temperature isn't very different. which is ridiculous. what's happening here? we have a low point in the middle s
