Southampton are in Israel tonight as they face Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the Europa League.

The Saints are looking to extend their impressive four-game winning run but they have won only one of their last six European away matches.

Hapoel on the other hand have won all five of their matches at home this season and beat Inter Milan in Italy in their opening Group K game.

Jose Fonte, Ryan Bertrand, Steven Davis and Charlie Austin have not travelled with Claude Puel's side for the match.   

BBC Radio Solent's coverage is on all frequencies from 17:30 BST.

Residents speak after the flat fire in Portsmouth this morning.

Last night, BBC2 aired second and final episode of Inside Justice, which investigated whether or not Roger Kearney had grounds to appeal his conviction for the murder of Paula Poolton from Southampton.

You can watch the episode below. It finds that police have destroyed forensic evidence, despite the fact they should have kept it for 30 years.

The first part of the investigation aired last week and can be watched below:

  A little later, some outfit called Man Utd is also playing, but we're not really interested in that.  

Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service has confirmed that the flat at the centre of the fire at the Handsworth House tower block in Portsmouth was an "occupied flat" but that nobody was in it at the time of the blaze.

Portsmouth City Council has told us tenants have been allowed back in to the building. One lift is now working and the clean-up and repair work has begun.

Three firefighters were taken to hospital suffering the effects of heat following the fire which broke out on the 13th of 17 floors shortly before 04:00.

Earlier today, Hampshire chairman Rod Bransgrove released a statement giving his backing to the formation of city T20 teams.

This is what he said to BBC South Today's Tony Husband last week.

The Portsmouth-based Solent Male Voice Choir has been chosen to join 12 other choirs from across the world, at a major concert at the Royal Albert Hall, next month. 

The challenge for the amateur group is to learn how to sing their songs in Welsh - a requirement to tie in with the Festival of Choirs' Welsh theme.

Here they are in full voice...

Police have released CCTV images of two men they would like to speak to in connection with a robbery in Bridport.

It was reported that a man was walking along St Swithuns Road on the afternoon of 30 August when he was approached by two men who threatened to assault him unless he handed over money.

It is alleged that as the victim removed his wallet one of the offenders took cash from it before the pair left the scene in a black Peugeot, containing another man and a woman.

A 22-year-old man from Dorchester and a 35-year-old woman from Wareham have been arrested on suspicion of robbery and have been released on police bail until the end of October.
