Welcome to South Today. Tonight - their hidden virus. Why hepatitis C | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
has gone underground and the new clinic that hopes to change that. | :00:16. | :00:23. | |
Most people who have hepatitis C are not aware they have it. Despite | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
the protests, funding is axed for nine of Dorset's libraries. It is a | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
sad day for the library service. Forensics go digital. Result at the | :00:35. | :00:42. | |
touch of a button as fingerprinting goes on the move. And hoping to be | :00:42. | :00:52. | |

a professional - Europe's top amateurs up to scratch. | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
It's a virus that can kill and go undetected for years. Many people | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
find it hard to talk about. Tonight, BBC South reports on a condition | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
that affects 2,000 people in the Portsmouth area alone. Most will | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
have no idea they have got it. It's called Hepatitis C. Across | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
Hampshire, experts believe more than 2,800 people are living with | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
Hep C. The vast majority of those, more than 2,100, are from | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
Portsmouth and surrounding areas such as Gosport and Fareham and up | :01:21. | :01:29. | |
to 70 new cases a year are being diagnosed in the City of Portsmouth. | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
However, many more cases go undetected. As our Health | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
Correspondent David Fenton reports, the opening of a new clinic hopes | :01:36. | :01:46. | |
:01:46. | :01:46. | ||
to change that. This is James. For 20 years he had | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
hepatitis C and did not know it. It was finally discovered too late and | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
he died from liver complications. His widow has now written a book | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
about his battle with the illness. He ended up being a patient on the | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
liver transplant list. Very sadly, he did not make it. Unfortunately, | :02:07. | :02:15. | |
it is still the case today that many people are dying world wide -- | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
worldwide because of a lack of information and support. It is | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
important that people know about their illness and how common it is. | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
Hepatitis C is a virus and it is passed from person to person in the | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
blood. It can be caught some unclean to two needles or blood | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
transfusions before they were screened in 1991. But also from | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
needles shared by injecting drug users. One reason perhaps of the | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
stigma attached to the disease. Elliott has had a hepatitis C since | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
he was 15 years old. He has experienced fear and | :02:58. | :03:07. | |
misunderstanding when he talks about it. When you say you have it, | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
people draw their own conclusions which are not normally true. It is | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
hard. The air are many patients like Eliot in Portsmouth, but after | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
living with hepatitis C for 26 years he is starting treatment at a | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
new clinic at the Queen Alexandra Hospital. This is a curable illness. | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
We can avoid long-term problems. It is some -- it is important we | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
identify and treat people who have this condition. The hepatitis C | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
clinic opens next month, but it can only hope those who know they have | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
it. David is with me now. There are over 2,000 people in Portsmouth | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
that know they have the condition. Will the clinic make a difference? | :03:55. | :04:03. | |
It will help people with Hep C in the area. But many people do not | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
know they have the virus, and many people may think or suspect their | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
habit are not likely to go to the clinic. There are a variety of | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
reasons for that, but there is a treatment available for them, a | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
course of injections that they can get. Why were they not what the | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
treatment? They is a lot of misinformation within parts of the | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
community about what this treatment involves. I think many are scared. | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
They are more scared of the treatment than living with the | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
condition. I spoke to one man who had just finished a course of | :04:44. | :04:54. | |
:04:54. | :04:56. | ||
treatment and this is what he had to say. I feel a lot better. I am | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
starting to really pick up. I have nothing but gratitude for the | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
doctors and nurses that have helped me to clear this think. The advice | :05:06. | :05:16. | |
to anyone who has hepatitis C or may even suspect they have it, is | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
go to your GP and get tested. A former Berkshire sub-post master, | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
who was a guest at the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton, | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
has been given an eight month suspended prison sentence for fraud. | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
Hasmukh Shingadia pleaded guilty to using money from the Post Office | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
inside his shop at Upper Bucklebury to offset losses from the rest of | :05:33. | :05:41. | |
the business. The village shop they run is at the | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
heart of Upper Bucklebury. This couple were among a handful of | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
couples who received an invitation to Westminster Abbey to celebrate | :05:52. | :06:02. | |
the marriage Of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Oxford Crown | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
Court heard that Mr Sheen Guardia took from Peter to pay Paul. He | :06:07. | :06:16. | |
borrowed money from the Post Office to cover costs in the rest of his | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
business. The amount outstanding stood at �16,000 when it was | :06:21. | :06:31. | |
:06:31. | :06:36. | ||
uncovered. The events date back to previous years. False accounting | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
was admitted, but his actions led to a closure of the Post Office | :06:42. | :06:52. | |
:06:52. | :06:53. | ||
branch. All the misappropriated money has been repaid, thanks to | :06:53. | :07:03. | |
:07:03. | :07:05. | ||
financial assistance from Mr Shingadia's brother. The judge said | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
he had never received so many trivets before to the character of | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
a defendant. He did not say whether one of those came from the Duke and | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
Duchess of Cambridge. Mr Shingadia will serve 200 hours community | :07:23. | :07:31. | |
service and repay court costs. It was a decision made by the | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
narrowest of margins - just one vote sealed the fate of nine of | :07:35. | :07:43. | |
Dorset's libraries. Funding will be withdrawn in the hope of saving | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
tens of thousands of pounds. Our reporter is in Dorchester. | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
All of our councils are under pressure. It is no different here. | :07:54. | :08:04. | |
Dorset knees to save �55 million over three years. -- Dorset needs. | :08:04. | :08:12. | |
For decades the public library has been logged by the community, but | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
times have changed and today only 25 % of Dorset residents step | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
inside. But those who do value them are determined to make their voices | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
heard. In Dorchester feelings ran high as the debate got under way. | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
Inside, many people got to their feet to make speeches in favour of | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
keeping open all of Dorset's 34 libraries. The council was split | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
down the middle and in the end it came down to one vote. The result | :08:44. | :08:54. | |
:08:54. | :08:54. | ||
is that nine mainly walled libraries will close. -- mainly | :08:54. | :09:03. | |
rural. There are people who cannot make it to the library. We had | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
people in wheelchairs, up on mobility scooters, who cannot use | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
mobile libraries. A food you think what lose out? All of our work | :09:14. | :09:24. | |

community. From children who are able to go there on their own and | :09:25. | :09:35. | |
:09:35. | :09:36. | ||
to pensioners. Volunteers are hoping they will be able to man the | :09:36. | :09:46. | |
libraries. Only for libraries are able to open with volunteers. -- | :09:46. | :09:53. | |

:10:03. | :10:07. | ||
volunteers. -- four volunteers. have greater faith in our community. | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
If the library service is needed in a community then there Wilby people | :10:11. | :10:21. | |
:10:21. | :10:21. | ||
who will step up to that challenge. What is the state of play for the | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
rest of the libraries in our region? | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
Well, three other councils are targeting Library is to make | :10:28. | :10:38. | |
:10:38. | :10:42. | ||
savings. In Surrey, 11 libraries will become community partnerships. | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
The key thing to remember is all of this could be overturned in the | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
courts. Campaigners came out of here today and got on the phone to | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
lawyers. They are confident they can out a judicial review, said | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
this story looks set to run. Thank you. | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
Hampshire Police and the Health and Safety Executive are investigating | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
the death of a contract worker at the Fawley oil refinery near | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
Southampton. Emergency services were called to the site after the | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
man became trapped under pipes. Non-essential work in the area | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
where the accident happened has been suspended until further notice. | :11:13. | :11:17. | |

A man from Bournemouth has appeared in court charged with the murder of | :11:21. | :11:23. | |

Auckland was found at a bungalow in Queenswood Avenue in Bournemouth in | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
May. 20-year-old Elliott Turner of Queenswood Avenue was remanded in | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
custody. He was also charged with intent to pervert the course of | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
justice, along with his parents Leigh and Anita Turner of the same | :11:39. | :11:49. | |

Developers have been ordered to repair and clean up one of Brighton | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
and Hove's landmarks. The former Royal Alexandra Childrens' Hospital | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
served the community for more than a century, but it's in a poor shape | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
as it waits to be converted. The developers of the site say they are | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
keen to start work as soon as possible. A place that cared for so | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
many for so long is now sick and tired. And since it has been | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
waiting for redevelopment, the former Royal Alexandra Childrens' | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
Hospital has fallen into disrepair. Brighton and Hove City Council has | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
ordered be owners to carry out repair work to this much loved | :12:41. | :12:48. | |
landmark. We are fond of this building. It is an asset to our | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
work built environment. There has been disrepair on the site and we | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
needed to bring it to the attention of the developers. In February, the | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
developers got planning permission to convert the main building into | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
flats and build more houses. only way to secure the site is to | :13:10. | :13:17. | |
make sure the building is in a state so it can be redeveloped and | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
construction work really needs to start as soon as possible. | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
council says there have been delays on both sides. The developers | :13:27. | :13:37. | |
:13:37. | :13:51. | ||
The developers and the City Council are due to discuss the hospital on | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
Sunday. It's the oldest and still most | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
commonly used forensic method in the world. Police have been taking | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
fingerprints for more than a century, but officers in Hampshire | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
are for the first time now able to check someone's prints on the move | :14:03. | :14:12. | |
outside the police station. Until now you would have to go to a | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
police station to have their fingerprints taken, but now it can | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
be done anywhere using this device. It can be checked on the national | :14:21. | :14:31. | |
:14:31. | :14:32. | ||
database within a minute. Hampshire Constabulary have several of these, | :14:32. | :14:40. | |
which cost �2,000 each. By making mobile technology work for us, we | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
will release more time by making our officers more available and | :14:45. | :14:54. | |
visible. We can draw that balance against potential -- against | :14:54. | :15:04. | |
:15:04. | :15:09. | ||
potential losses. We need to take your fingerprints quickly. | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
device saves time and money, but police can only use them if they | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
suspect an offence has or is about to happen and they cannot confirm | :15:20. | :15:28. | |
someone's details. I am all for it. A last three years, three officers | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
were sacked and 22 disciplined for preaching the Data Protection Act. | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
If the device is easy to use, does it make it easier to abuse? | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
data is not stored. Once the transaction has been completed, it | :15:45. | :15:54. | |
is deleted. More than 170 officers are trained to use the device. Over | :15:54. | :16:04. | |
:16:04. | :16:04. | ||
the next few weeks there will be -- Bay will be issued to other | :16:04. | :16:10. | |

A new �50 million private hospital for Reading is taking shape on the | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
outskirts of the town. Today, the topping out ceremony was held at | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
the site near the Madejski Stadium. The 48 bed unit will be run by | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
private healthcare firm Circle, taking NHS and private patients. So | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
what impact will it have on the town's Royal Berkshire Hospital? | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
Could this turned the screw on the NHS? This hospital will be a | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
landmark for this area. It will be the first hospital in the region | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
that will be owned and run by everyone who works there. | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
structure of the Spanish hospital is up, but will it be a good | :16:48. | :16:58. | |
:16:58. | :16:59. | ||
neighbour? We look at the people who will be working in this | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
hospital. We want to co-operate with the Royal Berkshire Hospital. | :17:05. | :17:11. | |
We will be competing in terms of private patients. A hospital will | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
treat both private and NHS patients, as long as someone pays. It will be | :17:17. | :17:25. | |
owned by the people who work here. There will be a theatre and in- | :17:25. | :17:35. | |

patient and day patient winds. -- wards. These hospitals do pick up | :17:47. | :17:56. | |
:17:57. | :17:59. | ||
NHS funded patients. They will leave quite a big hole in seven | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
budget. This hospital has already cost �50 million and the first | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
patient will be treated here next autumn. | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
Students from Newport on the Isle of Wight have worked with a local | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
artist to design a new sculpture unveiled today. The model made of | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
recycled material can be seen at Coppins Bridge roundabout and has | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
been designed to mirror how a plant changes with the seasons. It will | :18:21. | :18:28. | |
be there for 12 months. This summer, BBC Radio Solent is | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
celebrating the wonder of water across the South. From the busy | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
Solent to the quiet lake, you will be hearing from people who live, | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
work and relax on the water as part of the station's Summer Splash. One | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
such person is Garry Fisher. He is in charge of Southampton | :18:44. | :18:54. | |
:18:54. | :18:57. | ||
University's oceanographic boat - the RV Callista. My name is Gary | :18:57. | :19:05. | |
Fisher. I am the project manager for all the oceanographic work we | :19:05. | :19:12. | |
do at the University. Today we have a group of school children a board. | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
The vessel's main role is as a teaching vessel for undergraduate | :19:17. | :19:27. | |
:19:27. | :19:35. | ||
students. We do pretty much everything here. We have just | :19:36. | :19:44. | |
deployed a tall, but we have not caught anything apart from seaweed. | :19:44. | :19:53. | |
We quite like to catch a few fish and some crap. But we can store | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
demonstrate there is a lot of biodiversity. What I like about my | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
job is the variety of things we get to do. Once we are out here, we are | :20:04. | :20:13. | |
aware from the hassles of daily life. You can discover more stories | :20:13. | :20:18. | |

love in a minute. Yes, close enough. I love a bit of | :20:31. | :20:40. | |
golf. It was raining when we went yesterday. Let talk about this | :20:40. | :20:48. | |
transfer saga. Do you think Chamberlain will go? I | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
think he will. Nevertheless, the BBC's been told | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
Southampton are still to receive a formal bid for the player this | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
summer. Chamberlain's expressed his desire to be a Premier League | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
footballer in two tabloid interviews this week, seemingly | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
upping the pressure on Southampton to do a deal. Arsenal are still his | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
most likely suitors. A spokesman for Saints was unable to confirm | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
reports that Chamberlain has been fined for speaking to the Daily | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
Mirror and the Sun. Classic cars met classic yachts | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
today on the Isle of Wight. 60 models from yester-year are taking | :21:17. | :21:19. | |

Europe has increasingly been in the ascendancy as a golfing force in | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
recent years and some of the stars of tomorrow are in the South this | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
week competing in one of the biggest boys tournaments in the | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
amateur game. I have been to Broadstone Golf club to see for | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
myself the talent that's hoping to emulate the likes of Rory McIlroy | :22:23. | :22:33. | |
:22:33. | :22:34. | ||
in the years to come. They are on the tee, aiming for a | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
career and monks the professionals. The competitors here are the best | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
of their age group. These are top golfers. To get into this event you | :22:42. | :22:51. | |
have to have a handicap of zero. So they are all in their own right | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
very good golfers. 132 players are here, including more than 40 from | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
mainland Europe. This event is a good guide as to who could achieve | :23:01. | :23:08. | |
success in the future. Previous winners include Jason Rose's and | :23:08. | :23:18. | |
:23:18. | :23:23. | ||
Tom Lewis. -- Jason Rose's. I did have a psychologist. I have a | :23:23. | :23:33. | |
personal trainer and a golf coach. Broxtowe is in the top 100, but is | :23:33. | :23:40. | |
again available to the masses? -- Broadstone Golf Club. Anyone that | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
wants to play golf today, or whether they are from the inner | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
city, rural areas, anywhere in this country, will have the opportunity | :23:48. | :23:55. | |
to get into this game. With success comes sacrifice, even at breakfast | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
time. What was the nutritionist telling you to eat? You cannot eat | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
sausages or anything fried. That's probably why I never made it as a | :24:05. | :24:15. | |
:24:15. | :24:20. | ||
golfer! Why do they have to give it up? I have no idea. I know fried | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
food is bad for you, but the odd sausage? There is nothing wrong | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
with a sausage sandwich or a bacon butty before the round. I wonder if | :24:32. | :24:42. | |
:24:42. | :24:42. | ||
they will do a drug test for sausage eating? Will the weather | :24:42. | :24:52. | |
:24:52. | :24:53. | ||
improved? Well, it's difficult to say. First | :24:53. | :25:03. | |
:25:03. | :25:11. | ||
of all, let us have a look at your A deceptive start for us. We now | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
have a yellow warning from the Met Office. It is to make you aware | :25:16. | :25:26. | |
:25:26. | :25:27. | ||
that both showers will be heavy and slow moving. The cloud also an | :25:27. | :25:37. | |
:25:37. | :25:45. | ||
issue today. The showers will eventually fade away. Temperatures | :25:45. | :25:52. | |
at dawn tomorrow around 13 Celsius. Sunshine in the morning and | :25:52. | :26:02. | |
:26:02. | :26:05. | ||
hopefully drive. -- hopefully dry. Temperatures not bad with northerly | :26:05. | :26:15. | |
:26:15. | :26:15. | ||
winds. Tomorrow evening, more showers, but a level of risk of | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
thunder. Temperatures will be a touch of fresh air tomorrow night. | :26:20. | :26:30. | |
:26:30. | :26:30. | ||
Saturday, a largely drive day with the odd shower. There is some high | :26:30. | :26:40. | |
:26:40. | :26:43. | ||
pressure building up from the West. Sunday, the best of the brightness | :26:43. | :26:53. | |
:26:53. | :26:59. | ||
and sunshine will be the further west. -- a further west. Monday, it | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
should be settled. Now only a few days ago we heard | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
about the couple from Ayrshire who won the Euromillions. Well, it's | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
not quite 161 million, but Steven Clements, a plasterer from | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
Winchester, has scooped a cool million after buying a �5 scratch | :27:14. | :27:18. |
