31/10/2011 South Today

Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's

programme... Betrayed - the woman who had

explicit photos of her posted on the internet by the stalker who

turned out to be her boyfriend. looked into my eyes and said so I

promise you, I would never do anything like this to you.

The driver who killed a mother at this bus stop is given a community

service order. Copycat camping - tents spring up

as St Paul's peaceful protest moves south. People may not be able to

come down and occupy with us, but they do what they can, which is

appreciated. And through the lens - the photos

that highlight a photographer's "I was intentionally controlled,

belittled and harmed". The words of a 22-year-old Southampton woman

harassed for more than a year by a mystery stalker, who turned out to

be her boyfriend. Ruth Jeffrey even considered taking her own life

after naked photos of her were posted on social networking sites

and explicit emails sent to to her friends and family. Today Shane

Webber was given four months in prison. Sarah-Jane Bungay has the

story. Ruth Jeffrey hasn't had many

reasons to smile over the past year and a half. In April 2010, she

became the target of a sustained online campaign of harassment. The

stalker tied sexually explicit photos of Ruth upon social

networking site staff to draw them to the attention of her family and

friends. The emails male acquaintances pretending to be

raised, attaching graphic images of her and even sent pictures directly

to her mother and father, causing Ruth and her parents a great deal

of success -- distress. The pictures had been taken by her

long-term boyfriend, Shane Webber. He claimed they had been stolen

from his computer, but Ruth's parents suspected him and

eventually there was a confrontation. He looked into my

eyes and said he could never do anything like this to me. Then he

would start swearing on his family's life. After his denial,

the campaign against Ruth stepped up. It was spurred on by her

decision to have an abortion after finding out she was pregnant with

the baby of Shane Webber. He was eventually uncovered by Ruth's

father, he tracks down the source of the emails. It had a massive

impact on everything I do in my day-to-day life. Trust has been my

main issues. I feel as if I'm being watched all the time. I constantly

look over my shoulder. Sentencing Shane Webber to four a

month and present, the judge said it was a gross breach of trust and

confidence. He also handed down a five year restraining order,

meaning Shane Webber has to stay away from Ruth Jeffrey and other

members of her family. The maximum sentence he could have got will

never match their hell it has put me through. Over all, I am

extremely pleased that I can put everything behind me.

A woman who crashed her car into a Reading bus shelter killing a woman

and seriously injuring her young son has walked free from court. The

judge told Lola Olayemi that sending her to prison would serve

no justice and he imposed a 12 month community order instead,

after she admitted causing death by careless driving. Roisin Gauson is

at the scene of the accident. What happened that day?

It was lunchtime on 20th February this year. Lola Olayemi was driving

down from the Lord Henley Road to the town centre. She was in her

black Toyota. There were nine people standing at the bus-stop

just down the road in front of me. As she came down, witness reports

read out that she came round the corner but failed to straight not

for the main line. She continued in her Arc, hit the bollard adjacent

to the main bus shelter, then crossed into the main shelter

itself, causing the glass roof to fall down. It was that action which

caused the fatal head injuries to the mother.

Has this been a terrible tragedy for the victim's family?

Yes. This son is now in his grandfather's care. He is 71 years

old. They victim statement was read out on his behalf today in the

court, saying the death of his daughter left a big black: his life.

He fears for his future and the future of his grandson. He

describes it as a nightmare with no end.

Do we know why she crashed into the bus stop?

That really was not clear in court today. The court heard how Lola

Olayemi was not under the influence of drink and drugs and was not on

her telephone or speeding. She only lived 300 yards away and was

familiar with the area. The judge said the tragic accident was caused

by inattention of three seconds at the most. It was an attention that

deprived a loving father of his daughter and a nine-year-old boy of

his mother. Lola Olayemi was disqualified from driving for a

year and given 240 hours community order.

The mother of a young man who died in a hit and run in West Sussex has

appealed for a man wanted for questioning to hand himself in.

Kalan Fletcher was killed just over a week ago in Hassocks while

walking home. Sussex Police want to talk to Imran Shaukat, who had been

living in Worthing. Mark Sanders reports.

They are still trying to come to terms with the loss of a much-loved

brother and son. Kalan Fletcher was just 23, killed in a hit and run in

West Sussex just over one week ago. What can Pines agree for his family

is that a man wanted in questioning is still at large. Today, they made

this appeal. Please hand yourself in. I know it must be hard for you

as well, but please hand yourself then. Please hand yourself them.

Sorry. Find yourself saying to let us at peace. I loved my brother so

much and just wish she could be here with us now. This is the man

Sussex police want to interview - Shane Webber won a - a 22-year-old

Pakistani national he was living in Worthing. Officers say he might

hold vital information on the hit and run in Hassocks. They have

already recovered if Ford Transit van thought to have been involved.

Shane Webber 1 is suspected of overstaying his student the surf

and the UK Border Agency is so helping with the investigation.

While officers are trying to piece together what happened, Kalan

Fletcher's family are trying to piece it together. I am beside

thyself. He was such a good kid. Always joking and laughing about.

He will be sadly missed. Sussex police have appealed for her that

the accused man to come forward or for anyone to know where he is to

contact them. An unusual planning protest took

place today with residents calling on the local council to "save our

island". They're unhappy at plans for new housing on Hayling Island.

There are around 8,500 homes at present. The council wants to

earmark land for a further 550 and residents say the area won't be

able to cope. But with 5,000 on the housing waiting list in Havant, the

council says new development is badly needed. Sean Killick reports.

It is farm land at the moment, but one day, there could be 100 homes

here. And 160 could be build on this field. In total, 550 new

houses could be constructed on Hayling Island over the next 15

years. But residents say the health centre and schools are already at

capacity. There are often jams on the one road on to the island and

over-development could to affect the tourist industry. People could

say, don't go to Ireland Life, you can't get on a off. There is no

point. All they're doing is making it into a housing estate. --

Hayling Island. The attractions would be damaged, Auld and

diminished. A 4,500 signature petition was handed into the

council today. I asked protesters if they were scared of being

labelled and in these? That is a possibility. We are renowned for

our wind surfing and boating and surely they should recognise that

it is a holiday island. It is not an urban sprawl and did come to act

like that. It is a holiday place. That is how people want to see it

kept, to some extent. However, the council says the island has to take

its share of the new homes needed in the burrow.

We have 2000 people on the island. What about their children and

dependence? Will they move off the island? Will the businesses close?

Where are the low-cost workers going to be? What will they do? You

have to provide houses for them. They will not be there. People will

not have services. Communities died. They have to move forward.

Residents are worried the island's character could be lost forever.

Police in Wiltshire have arrested a man on suspicion of stealing a

bronze war memorial statue. The figure of a First World War soldier

was taken from outside the British Legion club in Tidworth last week.

It's the focal point of Remembrance Services there. A 22-year-old man

of no fixed abode was arrested and released on bail. Detectives say

they're no nearer to finding the statue.

A jury at the inquest into the deaths of two bank robbers shot

dead by the Metropolitan Police has heard officers discussed the

possibility of arresting them on their way to a raid on a cash van

in Chandlers Ford in Hampshire. On the morning of the shooting, police

received intelligence they had armour-piercing bullets and were on

the way to Hampshire. Retired Hampshire Assistant Chief Constable

Steve Watts said his preferred option was an arrest before they

arrived. A father today broke down in tears

as he described how he tried in vain to save his six-year-old

daughter from a fire at their Crawley home. Donald Sibanda was

giving evidence at the start of the trial of the man accused of

murdering six-year-old Dumo. George Sithole denies murder and setting

fire to their home in 2004. Paul Siegert was in court.

Shane Webber 2, who we can be identified for legal reasons --

excuse two - arrived at his trial. He is accused of killing Dumo by

setting fire to her home in 2004. Her father and a friend barrister

jump to safety, but the six-year- old was found unconscious in her

bedroom and died later of her injuries. Investigators found

petrol was poured through the window and ignited. Breaking down

in tears, her father, Donald Sibanda, told of how he ran to his

daughter's bedroom but could not find her because of thick smoke. He

then jumped out of his own bedroom window, ran round to the back and

tried to get into a daughter's bedroom so with a ladder for such a

huge fireball beaten back. If family friend had a relationship

with the accused and had recently ended - they were also there that

night. The prosecution told the court that the accused's motives or

was jealousy. He was convinced his girlfriend was having an affair.

CCTV cameras earlier that day showed him buying a box of matches.

The prosecution also claimed that teapot two litres of petrol, which

he later used to start the fire. Two days after the murder, the

accused later South Africa before being extradited back to the UK

last year. He denies murder and two Council are some. It continues

tomorrow. More jobs could go at West

Berkshire Council over the next few months, according to the council

leader. Councillor Graham Jones says 200 workers have lost their

jobs over the last year because of cuts to government funding. He says

the council is trying to protect the most vital services. But he

admitted outside organisations may take over some services. Unions

fear another 60 jobs will go over the next few months.

The government has awarded grants to four companies in the South,

under the Regional Growth Fund initiative. In Weymouth, Universal

Engineering has received funding to expand into undersea oil and gas.

The Portsmouth naval base, Solent Enterprise Partnership, and

Southampton City Council also Still to come this evening...

A record-breaking Great South Run. Up to 20,000 runners pound the

streets of Portsmouth to raise money for charities.

As you may have seen in the national news, the Dean of St

Paul's Cathedral in London resigned today following weeks of protest by

anti-capitalist protestors. It has been part of a series of

occupations around the world. Now, two more camps have joined in

Bournemouth and Brighton. Those taking part say it is a peaceful

environment for debate. And as long as they stay that way, council

bosses say there will be no evictions.

It is a protest that has spread across the globe. The Brighton camp

is one of the newest, tweedy is old and slowly growing. They are

wanting to stop capitalism and change the system. There are

offshore bank accounts with huge numbers. That is for 1% and 99% are

finding things difficult. So I'm very proud to be part of the

occupying movement that draws attention to that. In Bournemouth,

a modest protest, but the early days. Protesters say they are

getting lots of support. People have donated things, we have had

sleeping bags donated, people not being able to come down but doing

what they can. And people walking back were supportive. Even a

stockbroker. I came down to give them cups of tea, biscuits, talked

to them, it to get them about the real problems. -- educate them.

They are all angry, but the to be angry with the reason. There are

all ideas about what replaces the present system. Is it possible to

change anything? Perhaps we will change nothing. Perhaps we can

create a global revolution. city council told me that it allows

peaceful protest, but if the camp causes disruption, action will be

taken. Everybody needs good neighbours, as

the team would say. But how true is that? Tonight's Inside Out is

putting the Government's Big Society idea to the test at a tower

block in Portsmouth. Handsworth House has 154 flats. But the people

who live there say there is no community spirit. Jon Cuthill went

to the flat with Gerry Stoker from Southampton University, who came up

with the Big Society idea. Handsworth House in Portsmouth, 154

flats over 17 floors and a million miles away from Westminster. The

Big Society is about a huge culture change. A country that feels like a

community, building a better and stronger society. The Big Society,

the call to action for communities, with just one problem. You can go

three months without seeing a neighbour. People are no longer

interested in neighbours, in loyalty in Neighbours, in

friendship with the neighbours. anyone can kick-start a community,

it is this man, Gerry Stoker, who call of a peerage and will report

the Government used to form its Big Society idea. -- who co-wrote the

support. If you are going to create the Big Society, you need people

with skills and resources. That is not evenly distributed among

society. The focus on practicalities about creating the

Big Society, often in difficult circumstances. Any community needs

individuals to help start changed. It is the help given to these

people that is so important for ideas like the Big Society to work.

We need to think hard about supporting and giving strength and

courage to carry on. That is what been very difficult circumstances.

And you can find out how he gets on during tonight's Inside Out on BBC

One at 7:30pm. A Portsmouth University student,

virtually paralysed by an incurable condition, has created an

exhibition of startling pictures. Tyran Hawthorn hopes they will show

what life is like for people with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. It's a

condition which affects about 1500 boys and young men.

What hard these images? In fact, they are through to taken in

extreme close-up by Tyran Hawthorn. It references the Dickey of my body.

It is to help raise awareness the effect of the conditions. He has a

life shortening condition that wastes the muscles. He can move

just two fingers of one hand, his eyes and his mouth. Each photograph

can take two hours to capture. is wonderful that he has been able

to get something out of life, actually been able to do something

that he really enjoys. About 100 boys per year are born with this

condition and many need wheelchairs by the time they are 12. There is

no known cure. This Professor at the University where Tyran is

studying has been run -- has been researching the condition for 19

years. Currently, we do not have a treatment that would stop the

muscle-wasting and damage. However, the recent trials are by far the

most promising and there is a great hope with these new developments.

Tyran may struggle to communicate, but his strange, disturbing and

oddly beautiful pictures have their own message.

Extraordinary and startling pictures. And that free exhibition

is open to the public from tomorrow at the University of Portsmouth. It

is definitely worth going to see. In a moment, we have great pictures

from the Great South Run. But sport starts with the football and one in

particular. Definitely goal of the weekend. Southampton looking strong.

If they can get away from injuries, be a serious Premier League

Brough. -- with which the team East -- eased past Middlesborough. Not

every football programme showed all these goals. This is their camp

and's birdied gold. And the 25th The supporters got behind the

players. The region's three other

championship sides managed just one goal between them. Crawley were

knocked off their perch at the top of League Two. Here is the pick of

the action. Portsmouth the ball have up a new

manager and O'Driscoll is the favourite for the post. They lost

to Derby on Saturday. Brighton's steadied the ship would a good draw

at Birmingham. The closest Reading came to a goal at Crystal Palace

was striking the bar. An impressive win or Bournemouth. Thomas has

scored six times. In a blistering 20 minutes spell after half-time,

Malone and then Mark Pugh lifted the Cherries out of the bottom four.

Crawley Town needed a 78 minute equaliser against Accrington.

Aldershot won their second league game in a row. A good win for them.

Every single goal is on the BBC website right now.

AFC Totton have been handed a home draw in the first round of the FA

It is the first time the club have ever reached this stage. Totton

beat Hanworth Villa on Saturday and now face Bradford Park Avenue.

Basingstoke Town face a trip to Brentford after their win over

Staines. The final draw is London Irish lost a dramatic

Premiership encounter with Bath at Reading's Madejski Stadium on

Saturday. Tom Homer kicked four penalties for the exiles. That

looked enough to secure the points, until a late kick from Marc Vesty

snatched victory for Bath. Sussex and England wicketkeeper,

Matt Prior, has signed a new two- year contract at Hove. The 29-year-

old made his first-class debut in 2001 for the county. In recent

years, he has been a stalwart of the national side. A delighted

Sussex manager, Mark Robinson, described Prior as the best

wicketkeeper batsman in the world. Few would disagree at the moment.

Wet conditions certainly did not put a dampener on this weekend's

Great South Run, as thousands took to the streets of Portsmouth. Most

were running for good causes. African athletes crossed the

finishing line first. But well up the field, 21st overall female, in
