Welcome to the south. In tonight's programme, but is it that mean so

:00:08.:00:13.

much. Families tending their loved ones graves are given an ultimatum

:00:13.:00:20.

to clear them. Hide you tell the parents of little children that

:00:20.:00:26.

they cannot have anything up? I do not understand. The government

:00:26.:00:30.

scheme that has failed a family now facing their second winter without

:00:30.:00:34.

a boiler. In tears, children and teachers visit what is left of

:00:34.:00:40.

their school which burned down at the weekend. Absolutely gutted. I

:00:40.:00:49.

cannot believe it. One of the family flies in to celebrate the

:00:49.:00:59.
:00:59.:01:03.

80th anniversary of the Schneider Trophy. Clear your graves or we

:01:04.:01:06.

will clean them ourselves, that is the ultimatum given to families at

:01:06.:01:09.

Yateley in Hampshire whose loved ones are buried in the town's

:01:09.:01:12.

Heathland Cemetery. The council has decided to enforce its own long-

:01:13.:01:17.

established rule that graves should be plain and unadorned. By doing so,

:01:17.:01:20.

they are reversing recent practice, and that has angered and upset

:01:20.:01:30.
:01:30.:01:30.

relatives who say they were left out of discussions.

:01:30.:01:34.

Tributes to loved ones who have passed away. But these memorials

:01:34.:01:38.

are no longer welcome. Families have been told to get rid of them

:01:38.:01:44.

by the end of next month. This man's mother has been on anti-

:01:44.:01:50.

depressants ever since his father died. My mum still comes up here

:01:50.:01:54.

and looks after his grave. They talk to each other. It is like a

:01:54.:02:00.

little community. They want to take it away, put some grass down. We do

:02:00.:02:06.

not know why. They want a long cemetery because it is easier to

:02:06.:02:14.

cut the grass. It is to save money. For the Wilkinson family it is a

:02:14.:02:19.

matter of principle. It was his last election -- his last wish and

:02:19.:02:25.

it was something we wanted to carry through. The council says the

:02:25.:02:28.

council have always had strict rules as to what memorials around.

:02:28.:02:34.

Over the years there has been a rise in an elaborate grave plot.

:02:34.:02:39.

People are copying each other. We did not want to be heavy-handed but

:02:39.:02:47.

now I decision has had to be made. There are 1,300 internment here at

:02:47.:02:55.

the cemetery. The council said I'd many letters of consultation and 30

:02:55.:03:02.

of them were received. We are interested in speaking to the

:03:02.:03:11.

people who chose the cemetery. Brown was killed in service in

:03:11.:03:17.

Afghanistan. He asked to be buried here. This week, his grave was

:03:17.:03:22.

altered. These families now have less than two weeks to do the same.

:03:22.:03:25.

They have strengthened their resolve to keep things at the way

:03:25.:03:32.

they are. A lot of people feel very similar. We're going to go forward

:03:32.:03:42.
:03:42.:03:48.

from here., the council would not confirm when it will take place. A

:03:48.:03:51.

man has appeared in court charged with the attempted murder of a 16

:03:51.:03:54.

year-old girl in West Sussex. She was found at a house in Lindfield

:03:54.:03:57.

with stab wounds to her face and body. 19-year-old Christopher

:03:57.:03:59.

Parsons from Haywards Heath has been remanded in custody until

:03:59.:04:02.

November 4th. He has also been charged with possessing an

:04:02.:04:09.

offensive weapon. The officer in charge of an

:04:09.:04:14.

operation to arrest armed Roberts - - armed robbers did not realise

:04:14.:04:19.

they had been killed by it -- they had been shot by police. It was not

:04:19.:04:22.

until he sold them lying on the ground that he knew they had been

:04:22.:04:29.

shot. The pair were killed when they tried to rob a plan near the

:04:29.:04:35.

HSBC bank in 2007. Our correspondent has been following

:04:35.:04:42.

the inquest. Did he shed any light on what happened? This was the

:04:42.:04:46.

result of a long operation by police. They were trying to catch

:04:46.:04:49.

at gang they believed were responsible for a series of

:04:49.:04:54.

robberies. One bad day, they were lying in wait. When the security

:04:54.:04:59.

van pulled out, the officer pulled out -- the robber pulled out his

:04:59.:05:05.

gun and it was then he was shot and killed. Today we heard from DCI

:05:05.:05:11.

Wilson, he had heard across the airwaves the guard was attacked. He

:05:11.:05:16.

was told they had engaged to suspects. He got out, walked over,

:05:16.:05:21.

saw the body on the ground, said normally, people are fighting, but

:05:21.:05:27.

he looked very peaceful. He then looked over and medics had pulled

:05:27.:05:32.

over the balaclava of the other victim. It was at that point he

:05:32.:05:37.

realised what had happened. Did he explain why this had not happened

:05:38.:05:46.

easier? Why the men were not arrested earlier? They were worried

:05:47.:05:50.

he had armour-piercing bullets and was going to try to shoot through

:05:50.:05:54.

the security van. When he pulled out his gun at the rifleman made

:05:54.:06:01.

the decision to shoot him. He praised the courageous actions of

:06:01.:06:05.

the right for men who shot when needed to protect the guard and the

:06:05.:06:15.

public. -- the rival man. Sussex Police have released the

:06:15.:06:24.

name of a man they want to question about a fatal hit and run. He is

:06:24.:06:27.

Imran Shaukat, at 26 year-old man who had been living in Worthing.

:06:27.:06:30.

Officers want to speak to him about the death of Kalan Fletcher over

:06:30.:06:33.

the weekend. The police have already recovered a van thought to

:06:33.:06:36.

have been driven in the hit and run. A simple floral tribute mark the

:06:36.:06:41.

place where Kalan Fletcher was killed. The 23-year-old's body was

:06:41.:06:47.

spotted lying by the motorway. Sussex Police say the young man was

:06:47.:06:52.

the victim of a hit and run. They have now released the name of

:06:52.:07:01.

someone they want to question. He is Imran Shaukat. Sussex Police say

:07:01.:07:06.

he may hold vital information about the incident. Officers say he had

:07:06.:07:10.

been living in Worthing but may have links to Luton, Manchester and

:07:10.:07:17.

Barking. It is understood he is a Pakistani national. The UK Border

:07:17.:07:20.

Agency confirmed they were assisting Sussex Police with their

:07:21.:07:25.

inquiries. A Ford Transit van which is believed to have been involved

:07:25.:07:31.

in the hit him on was recovered yesterday. -- involved in the hit

:07:31.:07:40.

and run. Sussex Police has asked Imran Shaukat to come forward.

:07:40.:07:42.

A saga of disappointment and despair. That has been the

:07:42.:07:45.

experience of a Dorset family who have been trying to get their

:07:45.:07:47.

boiler repaired under the government Warm Front scheme. They

:07:48.:07:50.

have been trying for a year. Twice they have been given firm

:07:51.:07:53.

appointments to have a new boiler installed. Twice they have been let

:07:54.:07:56.

down. They now face the prospect of a second winter without central

:07:57.:08:04.

heating. The boiler at his house finally

:08:04.:08:10.

give up the ghost last bottom. have been keeping warm with

:08:10.:08:19.

electric heaters, they are incredibly expensive to run. They

:08:19.:08:22.

are full-time carers for their severely disabled son, which makes

:08:23.:08:31.

them eligible for the Warm Front scheme. After a survey, contractors

:08:31.:08:34.

were Scheduled to do the work in April. They arrived without a

:08:34.:08:38.

boiler. Another appointment fell through when the workmen failed to

:08:38.:08:45.

show up. After months of calling the Warm Front scheme, long periods

:08:45.:08:49.

on hold and unreturned calls, last week they were told because so much

:08:49.:08:54.

time had passed they would have to start the application process again.

:08:55.:08:59.

I am very angry. Not just for our family but for all the family's out

:08:59.:09:06.

there in the same situation. Particularly all the elderly and

:09:06.:09:12.

vulnerable people who will have no heating this winter. It is agreed

:09:12.:09:22.
:09:22.:09:23.

just and unacceptable. I shall be pursuing this as soon as I can. We

:09:23.:09:26.

do have cases with this scheme, they are fewer than the past but

:09:26.:09:31.

there does seem to be issues. They let contract out where everything

:09:31.:09:36.

is not satisfactory. In a statement today, the Warm Front scheme told

:09:37.:09:46.
:09:47.:09:58.

For this family there is an added urgency. Their data is due to give

:09:58.:10:06.

birth this Friday. -- daughter. All we have is a halogen heater which

:10:06.:10:16.
:10:16.:10:18.

you cannot regulate the temperature Up to 10 of the South's

:10:18.:10:20.

Conservative MPs are planning to rebel against the government in

:10:20.:10:22.

tonight's vote referendum on Britain's membership of the

:10:22.:10:25.

European Union. David Cameron will face his biggest Commons rebellion

:10:25.:10:27.

since entering Downing Street. Henry Smith, the MP for Crawley,

:10:27.:10:30.

Caroline Dinenage who represents Gosport and the Isle of Wight MP

:10:30.:10:33.

Andrew Turner are some of those voting against their leader. The

:10:33.:10:36.

South Dorset MP Richard Drax says billions of pounds is being wasted

:10:36.:10:46.
:10:46.:10:48.

propping up the eurozone. I would argue there is nothing more

:10:48.:10:53.

important than this. We are in this mess partly because we are a member

:10:53.:10:58.

of this federalist state, this on bureaucratic nightmare, frankly,

:10:58.:11:02.

which has taken away all regulations that would enable us to

:11:02.:11:12.
:11:12.:11:13.

be competitive. It spreads out into employment and jobs. BBC South has

:11:13.:11:15.

learned more than 1000 rail passengers have been overcharged

:11:15.:11:18.

because of a problem with a ticket machine at Basingstoke station.

:11:18.:11:20.

First Great Western had apologised and launched an investigation into

:11:20.:11:23.

how the error occurred on a machine over a fortnight. It affected

:11:23.:11:26.

people who bought tickets between Basingstoke and Reading. The

:11:26.:11:29.

company is offering refunds. Still to come, warming up for United,

:11:29.:11:38.

Aldershot show them how it is done by scoring five. People visiting

:11:38.:11:41.

the site of a school in rural Dorset which has been severely

:11:41.:11:44.

damaged by fire broke down in tears today. The head teacher of

:11:44.:11:46.

Powerstock Primary said he was absolutely devastated to see the

:11:46.:11:49.

oldest part of the building completely burnt out. It is thought

:11:49.:11:53.

an electrical fault was the cause. Gutted car absolutely gutted. I

:11:53.:12:02.

cannot believe it has happened. Still to come, the woman who froze

:12:02.:12:11.

out the dragons with ice-free I'm sure you'll remember these

:12:11.:12:13.

images from late last year in London. The government's decision

:12:13.:12:16.

allowing universities to charge tuition fees of up to �9,000 from

:12:16.:12:20.

next year caused mass demonstrations and real anger. It

:12:20.:12:22.

sparked fears that potential students simply wouldn't apply for

:12:22.:12:28.

a university place because it would be unaffordable. Well, an exclusive

:12:28.:12:31.

survey for the BBC's Inside Out programme today suggests that one

:12:31.:12:33.

in ten potential university students probably won't go next

:12:33.:12:40.

year for that reason. But 54% say they probably will go, in spite of

:12:41.:12:48.

the hike in fees. And another 28% say they'll definitely go. In fact,

:12:48.:12:50.

around three quarters of those surveyed felt the long-term

:12:50.:12:55.

benefits outweighed the cost. Well, Jon Cuthill from our Inside Out

:12:56.:13:00.

programme is here to talk about this. Jon, perhaps a surprise that

:13:00.:13:05.

so many people aren't deterred? Really interesting - despite the

:13:05.:13:07.

outcry when fees were announced, the majority of students are still

:13:07.:13:17.
:13:17.:13:21.

aiming for university. The decision process may have changed. Mary

:13:21.:13:25.

Barlow from Hampshire is one of the thousands of students in the South

:13:25.:13:28.

who has some big decisions to make. At first it made me not want to go

:13:28.:13:32.

to university but I suppose it is better to go for it and it will not

:13:32.:13:39.

be that difficult. I can hope three pay it back. Despite the horrible

:13:39.:13:44.

cost, I would get a degree which means I will get an OK job, had

:13:44.:13:49.

three. But the costs of going to university have jumped. Absolutely.

:13:49.:13:54.

We called in money man Alvin Hall to crunch the numbers. Parents may

:13:54.:13:57.

want to remain seated for this bit. He took everything into account

:13:57.:14:00.

from start to finish. So that's living costs, the new tuition fees,

:14:00.:14:04.

the interest on those tuition fees, three years worth of baked beans -

:14:04.:14:07.

the whole shebang. I don't think anyone was expecting what he came

:14:07.:14:13.

up with. I think owning interest over such a long time paying back

:14:13.:14:22.

the loan, is a number most people do not think about. �75,000.

:14:23.:14:28.

that one person? That is for one person. A desperate moment where he

:14:28.:14:32.

hoped it was for the whole group! So are there any ways of keeping

:14:32.:14:42.
:14:42.:14:44.

costs down? There are. You can get sponsorship. Get in with a big

:14:44.:14:49.

company so you can learn while you learn. Paying tuition fees upfront

:14:49.:14:52.

if you have the means you'd obviously avoid the interest. Or

:14:52.:14:54.

even looking abroad at opportunities there but make sure

:14:54.:14:58.

you do the research and ensure what you get out of it would be

:14:58.:15:05.

recognised here. Thank you. And Inside Out is tonight at 7.30pm

:15:05.:15:11.

here on BBC one. An exhibition celebrating one of

:15:11.:15:14.

the most fabulous air events of the last century opened this afternoon.

:15:14.:15:17.

It features the eightieth anniversary of Britain winning the

:15:17.:15:21.

Schneider air trophy. The event is taking place in the original

:15:21.:15:26.

waterfront hanger at Calshot from where the original competitors flew.

:15:26.:15:34.

Chris Coneybeer reports. The thrill of watching small planes

:15:34.:15:38.

being pushed ever faster by their dashing young pilots attracted

:15:38.:15:42.

crowds in their tens of thousands in the years between the world wars.

:15:42.:15:49.

The biggest thrill for many was the Schneider Air Trophy, won outright

:15:49.:15:55.

by Britain in 1931. It was something quite different. It was

:15:55.:16:01.

so quiet in those days. Very few cars. Very few aeroplanes. Today,

:16:01.:16:07.

exhibition opened in the hangar at Calshot with one of the original

:16:07.:16:11.

planes in place. Many of the features in these helped develop

:16:11.:16:17.

the Spitfire. A spit Fire performed over the side to pay its own part

:16:17.:16:22.

in the celebrations. Had we not won the Schneider Trophy, we may not

:16:22.:16:26.

have got the spit fire and we may have to have won the Battle of

:16:26.:16:36.

Britain. Well, we may not have won the war. Another thrilling example

:16:36.:16:41.

of our heritage alive and well. In this case, celebrating the

:16:41.:16:51.
:16:51.:16:59.

Great pictures and great sound. Fabulous seeing those Spitfires.

:16:59.:17:03.

Brighton's a giant Ferris wheel has opened. Work started on the �6

:17:03.:17:07.

million structure last month, tourism managers hope it will

:17:07.:17:12.

attract a quarter of a million visitors. Some people nearby say

:17:12.:17:22.
:17:22.:17:23.

the structure is too close to their homes. Impressive. On to the sport.

:17:23.:17:30.

I did not see it coming. A shock result. One of the surprise results

:17:30.:17:36.

of the season. Five at Dagenham and Redbridge.

:17:36.:17:41.

Manchester United. Man United coming down to the region during

:17:42.:17:50.

night. Well done, Aldershot. Fantastic result. Let's take a look

:17:50.:17:53.

at the goals. Jermain McGlashan volley, Peter Vicenti on the follow

:17:53.:17:57.

up. Michael Rankine penalty goal back, then Luke Gutteridge diving

:17:57.:18:07.
:18:07.:18:23.

header, 4-2 by time Jermain Aldershot are ready for tomorrow

:18:23.:18:32.

night. They face the United side. Manchester sit. It wasn't just

:18:32.:18:34.

Aldershot scoring five this weekend, Crawley continued their assault on

:18:34.:18:37.

League two with an impressive win at Wimbledon. And what's happening

:18:37.:18:44.

at Bournemouth? Here's your round Crawley Town have won six games in

:18:44.:18:48.

a row and this was a five-star effort at Wimbledon. They were up

:18:48.:18:53.

in the opening 10 minutes after an own goal, Paul Davies doubled the

:18:53.:18:58.

lead. Wimbledon fought back to level by half-time before a three-

:18:58.:19:06.

goal salvo. Matt tubs in the parents is bar. For Lee living up

:19:06.:19:11.

to their pre-season favourites tag. Reading were denied a second home

:19:11.:19:15.

win by Southampton. The free-kick may not have crept in but the

:19:15.:19:22.

follow-up did. Southampton had 10 men and by the time he walked into

:19:22.:19:28.

the box. I am disappointed for the players. We deserved to win. We

:19:28.:19:34.

were the better side. The players carried it out. The goal against

:19:34.:19:38.

was disappointed. Delighted to get a point because Reading were the

:19:38.:19:44.

better team. We were nowhere near the level we have been. You passed

:19:44.:19:49.

the ball really well. We never got a grip of the football. Portsmouth

:19:49.:19:59.
:19:59.:20:01.

remain without a manager. It does Portsmouth finished all three

:20:01.:20:10.

points in the second half through Kitson. The Bournemouth chairman

:20:10.:20:16.

has admitted talks continue over new investment. A locally-based a

:20:16.:20:21.

Russian businessman is poised to buy a major stake. Fans may say

:20:21.:20:25.

Hallelujah to that but on the pitch at the Cherries are in the bottom

:20:25.:20:30.

four. They slipped to another home defeat after Mark Pugh gave them

:20:30.:20:34.

the lead against Bury, goals either side of half-time handed the

:20:34.:20:37.

visitors all three points and condemned Bournemouth to a 5th home

:20:37.:20:44.

defeat. Interesting times at Bournemouth.

:20:44.:20:48.

There is talk that Sven Goran Eriksson could have been fired.

:20:48.:20:54.

Monday night football at the Amex tonight. Brighton hosting West Ham.

:20:54.:20:57.

A win would send the Albion from 12th to 4th in a typically tight

:20:57.:21:00.

Championship table. Live to the ground now and Johnny Cantor,

:21:00.:21:05.

Johnny, Gus Poyet's dipped into the loan market too? Yes, the recent

:21:05.:21:14.

lull has prompted him into action. Gonzalo Rose is set for his debut.

:21:14.:21:19.

Steve Harper has joined on a month's deal for Newcastle. After

:21:19.:21:23.

drawing a blank against Hull City, the Premier League experience may

:21:23.:21:28.

be required. West Ham still have several players from the top flight.

:21:28.:21:34.

A win and they go forth but they could drop into the bottom half.

:21:34.:21:39.

Another indication of the narrow margins in the division. We will

:21:39.:21:42.

have the goals tomorrow. On Friday night we told you about Worthing

:21:42.:21:45.

rugby club's unbeaten start to the new season. On Saturday they beat

:21:45.:21:48.

Lydney 80 points to 31. They remain second in the national league two

:21:48.:21:51.

south table though. At the Madeski stadium yesterday, London Irish

:21:51.:21:54.

gave a debut to Shontayne Hape as they beat Newcastle in the LV Cup.

:21:54.:21:58.

The returning Delon Armitage was among the try scorers. There's just

:21:58.:22:01.

under a week left for you to nominate someone for this year's

:22:01.:22:04.

BBC South Unsung hero award. It's the prize which recognises someone

:22:04.:22:07.

who's given something special to grass roots sport in the region.

:22:07.:22:10.

Remember to nominate someone, you need to go the BBC website and

:22:10.:22:14.

follow the instructions to download and complete an entry form.

:22:14.:22:24.
:22:24.:22:32.

Nominations close on the 30th And also, Guildford not a good

:22:32.:22:36.

start to the basketball. They were beaten by Plymouth. They are out at

:22:36.:22:40.

the group stage. They make the final last season.

:22:40.:22:47.

Disappointment. Not so long ago she was pitching her idea on Dragon's

:22:47.:22:51.

Den. Today Karen Coombes was launching her first ice-free ice-

:22:51.:22:56.

skating rink in Brighton. Karen developed a type of roller-skate

:22:56.:22:59.

which, as she told the Dragons, allows a far greater variety of

:22:59.:23:04.
