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

:00:05.:00:07.

In tonight's programme: Anti- abortion campaigners are accused of

:00:07.:00:17.

intimidating women outside an abortion clinic.

:00:17.:00:23.

It would be totally against what we stand for it to be shouting.

:00:23.:00:27.

A shipping company is fined for polluting our beaches with palm oil.

:00:27.:00:30.

A refit and reassurance as Queen Mary II comes into her home port,

:00:30.:00:40.
:00:40.:00:41.

but missing the name of Southampton. Southampton is the base for the

:00:41.:00:47.

Cunard Line. Our Britishness will live on for ever.

:00:47.:00:50.

And hoping to take the plunge for 2012 - the young swimmer who's one

:00:50.:00:57.

of our torch bearers. This is a once in a lifetime

:00:57.:01:07.
:01:07.:01:08.

opportunity. I cannot wait to tell everyone.

:01:08.:01:09.

There are claims tonight that anti- abortion protestors are

:01:09.:01:15.

intimidating women as they go into a Brighton clinic. The group

:01:15.:01:17.

Abort67, based in Worthing, is accused of showing patients graphic

:01:17.:01:19.

images of aborted foetuses and even handing out leaflets comparing

:01:19.:01:26.

abortion to the holocaust. The protest this morning was held

:01:26.:01:29.

outside Wistons clinic. Sean Killick has been following the

:01:29.:01:39.
:01:39.:01:45.

story. Twice a week protesters gathered

:01:45.:01:49.

outside the Wistons Clinic in Brighton, lobbying women who have

:01:49.:01:56.

come from across Sussex for an abortion or advice session. The

:01:56.:02:00.

clinic says that the protests have been going on for years but

:02:00.:02:05.

recently they have become more intimidatory. When women come in

:02:05.:02:10.

and are upset we ask them to document what has been said.

:02:10.:02:17.

Clients have been called murderers, some have been forced to look dead

:02:17.:02:22.

images of aborted foetuses. protesters admit to showing

:02:22.:02:28.

photographs but then they verbally abusing women who make -- denied

:02:28.:02:33.

verbally abusing women who come here. It is pointless and would be

:02:33.:02:41.

against what we stand for to be shouting. We just hold up the

:02:41.:02:44.

pictures and let people's consciousness work out the rest.

:02:44.:02:48.

But the local MP says that she opposes the protests. I think it is

:02:48.:02:58.

quite wrong that individual women are being intimidated and harassed.

:02:58.:03:02.

I have been myself to the cleric and spoken to staff and they have

:03:02.:03:06.

described how some of these women are very cheerful by the time they

:03:06.:03:11.

get into the building. They have been very much upset by the

:03:11.:03:16.

experience. Previously protesters outside the clinic have been

:03:16.:03:21.

arrested under the Public Order Act. In recent weeks there have also

:03:21.:03:25.

been counter-demonstration spy people supporting abortion. Today

:03:25.:03:32.

police officers stood nearby but the demonstration passed peacefully.

:03:33.:03:35.

A shipping company based in Singapore has been ordered to pay

:03:35.:03:37.

almost a hundred thousand pounds for illegally dumping palm oil into

:03:37.:03:44.

the sea off the Isle of Wight. Yellow lumps of the material were

:03:44.:03:46.

washed up at a number of beaches in Hampshire and West Sussex earlier

:03:46.:03:49.

this year. The owners of the tanker denied being responsible for the

:03:49.:03:58.

leak, but today a court found them guilty, as Rachael Canter reports.

:03:58.:04:02.

Bright yellow clumps of solidified palm oil discovered along the south

:04:02.:04:08.

coast. Not toxic, but a hefty clean-up operation. This speech was

:04:08.:04:13.

forced to close for three days. had a team out this morning working

:04:14.:04:18.

from both ends towards each other picking up as much as they could.

:04:18.:04:23.

This is the tanker responsible. It had recently discharged its cargo

:04:23.:04:28.

of Palme D'Or in Rotterdam and Hamburg and sailed to the Isle of

:04:28.:04:31.

Wight. But the cold weather caused some of the Palme D'Or on board to

:04:31.:04:35.

solidify. The crew spent 10 days struggling to clean the tanks and

:04:35.:04:41.

pipes. The ship was turned away from an oil refinery because of the

:04:41.:04:44.

state did was in. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency carried out an

:04:44.:04:48.

inspection and discovered that the yellow lumps of Pam will wear on

:04:48.:04:55.

the deck. Today the judgment was welcomed. It sends out a clear

:04:55.:04:59.

message to the shipping industry that they need to make sure of that

:04:59.:05:07.

this thing -- this type of thing does not happen. There was the

:05:07.:05:12.

shock value of this unknown substance turning up on the beach.

:05:12.:05:17.

That resulted in the beach is being closed. The judge and Southampton

:05:17.:05:19.

magistrates' court said that the ship was in the right place at the

:05:20.:05:23.

right time carrying precisely the combination of oils later found and

:05:23.:05:27.

the beaches. He said that the crew were having problems cleaning the

:05:27.:05:31.

ship and is charging the material into the sea would have been an

:05:31.:05:34.

obvious way to resolve it. Well, I am joined by Rachael Canter now.

:05:34.:05:36.

Rachael, what are the wider implications for other shipping

:05:36.:05:41.

companies? As we heard from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency in

:05:41.:05:45.

my report, there was no significant environmental impact. However,

:05:45.:05:47.

there was a significant clean up operation by the local authority,

:05:47.:05:53.

at a cost to the taxpayer. This judgement sends out a clear message

:05:53.:05:55.

that shipping companies need to have proper procedures in place for

:05:56.:06:00.

when a ship becomes contaminated in this way. They can't just discharge

:06:00.:06:04.

material into the sea. And what have the tanker's owners had to

:06:04.:06:07.

say? Pretty Time Shipping is operated by a Singapore-based

:06:07.:06:14.

company. It had denied the charges but was today fined �20,000 and

:06:14.:06:21.

told to pay additional legal costs of �75,000. It said today this was

:06:21.:06:25.

a one-off incident and promised that it will never happen again. It

:06:25.:06:27.

says it operates a zero-tolerance policy towards environmental

:06:27.:06:32.

pollution. Meanwhile Thames Water has been

:06:32.:06:35.

fined �30,000 for being responsible for releasing sewage into a North

:06:35.:06:42.

Hampshire stream. More than 7,000 fish died in the Silchester and

:06:42.:06:46.

Foudry brook near Tadley as a result of the contamination. The

:06:46.:06:48.

incident has been described as "catastrophic" by the Environment

:06:48.:06:53.

Agency who dealt with the clean-up. Meanwhile Thames Water says it was

:06:53.:06:55.

a deeply regrettable incident that had serious consequences on the

:06:55.:06:59.

environment. A man has been charged with the

:06:59.:07:02.

murder of a baby in Worthing. A post mortem examination revealed

:07:02.:07:05.

11-month-old Crystal Hall-Hummell sustained a head injury, in May.

:07:05.:07:08.

She was taken to St Thomas' hospital in London but later died.

:07:08.:07:10.

27-year-old Jerome Edwards from Midhurst has been remanded in

:07:10.:07:15.

custody to appear at Lewes crown court tomorrow.

:07:15.:07:18.

A man's been found guilty of armed robbery after threatening a

:07:18.:07:21.

Portland taxi driver with a handgun. Colin Paul Douglas tied the driver

:07:21.:07:25.

up before stealing money from garages in February. He's now been

:07:25.:07:27.

convicted of 18 offences in the Weymouth and Dorchester area,

:07:27.:07:29.

including another armed robbery at Abbotsbury Road Post Office in

:07:29.:07:37.

March where he stole thousands of pounds in cash.

:07:37.:07:40.

A serial rapist has been sent to prison for 18 years, with the judge

:07:40.:07:44.

calling him a dangerous man who'd shown not a shred of remorse.

:07:44.:07:46.

Michal Tejkowski, who moved to Brighton from Poland last October,

:07:46.:07:52.

raped two women in Brighton and sexually assaulted another in Kent.

:07:52.:07:54.

Sussex Police have praised his victims for giving evidence against

:07:54.:08:03.

him. Mark Sanders reports. This is Michal Tejkowski, a

:08:03.:08:07.

predatory serial rapist, following his first victim in Brighton. In a

:08:07.:08:11.

three-month period this year he attacked three women. A few moments

:08:11.:08:16.

after these images were taken, he assaulted a 17 year-old A-level

:08:16.:08:20.

student. He tractor from the street into this park and raped her. He

:08:20.:08:25.

struck again within a month, raping a 25 year-old woman in this

:08:25.:08:30.

supermarket car-park. She had been working as a prostitute. Then in

:08:30.:08:36.

May he sexually assaulted a pensioner at a park in Maidstone.

:08:36.:08:41.

He was picked out in an identity parade by his 67 year-old victim.

:08:41.:08:47.

DNA evidence linked him to the rapes in Brighton. Make no mistake,

:08:47.:08:52.

Michal Tejkowski it is an extremely dangerous man. He has raped two

:08:52.:08:55.

women and sexually assaulted another in a period of just three

:08:55.:09:00.

months and we are delighted to have caught him to ensure that he stops

:09:00.:09:04.

reoffending again and is now behind bars for a long time. Michal

:09:04.:09:10.

Tejkowski was found guilty on all charges at Lewes Crown Court. The

:09:10.:09:15.

judge sent him to prison for 18 years. In sentencing, the judge

:09:15.:09:18.

told him that his actions and caused devastating effects both

:09:18.:09:23.

physical and emotional for his victims. He is shown not a shred of

:09:23.:09:27.

remorse are any spark of human compassion. He was a thoroughly

:09:28.:09:33.

dangerous man. The three victims took the stand at his trial. The

:09:33.:09:36.

detective who led the investigation said today that he and his team

:09:36.:09:40.

were humbled by the courage and strength of the women in giving

:09:40.:09:44.

evidence against their attacker. Four teenagers have been arrested

:09:44.:09:46.

on suspicion of criminal damage following attacks on buses in

:09:46.:09:50.

Bournemouth. The Yellow Buses were damaged and windows smashed while

:09:50.:09:53.

passengers were on board. The council now says it won't be

:09:53.:09:56.

evicting any tenants caught, as previously stated. The boys have

:09:56.:09:59.

all been released on bail. Yellow Buses say it will reinstate the

:09:59.:10:03.

service in West Howe this evening. Still to come in this evening's

:10:03.:10:06.

South Today: As we've seen a lot extreme weather around the country,

:10:06.:10:10.

Alexis has a detailed forecast for the south.

:10:11.:10:16.

The winds in the south have been strong gusting up to 56 mph. This

:10:16.:10:21.

is Brighton this afternoon, where there were gusts of 46 mph. The

:10:21.:10:23.

heavy rain and strong winds will continue this evening and tonight.

:10:23.:10:30.

I'll have more details later in the programme.

:10:30.:10:32.

Gatwick has stepped up preparations to ensure flights can land and take

:10:32.:10:37.

off safely in snow and ice. Last year flights were grounded in

:10:37.:10:41.

severe weather. The airport has now doubled its snow clearing fleet and

:10:41.:10:44.

claims it can clear as much snow as Oslo airport, which one of Europe's

:10:44.:10:54.
:10:54.:11:00.

snowiest cities. A report by the National Housing Federation claims

:11:00.:11:02.

an entire generation has been locked out of the housing market

:11:02.:11:04.

across much of the south. Chichester has been named the least

:11:04.:11:06.

affordable place in the region. The average house price is nearly 20

:11:07.:11:09.

times the average local income. South Buckinghamshire came third in

:11:09.:11:12.

the list. The fight to stop 2,000 homes being

:11:12.:11:15.

built on farmland near Winchester is on again, two months after the

:11:15.:11:19.

plans for Barton Farm were thrown out by the Secretary of State.

:11:19.:11:22.

Councillors will discuss plans to build on the land this evening.

:11:22.:11:25.

More than a thousand people signed a petition against the proposed

:11:25.:11:28.

development. But Winchester City Council says while the specific

:11:28.:11:30.

application by Cala Homes was rejected, Barton Farm is still a

:11:30.:11:39.

preferred site. We're staying here and we're

:11:39.:11:41.

continuing to provide tremendous economic benefit to everybody in

:11:41.:11:44.

Southampton. This was the emphatic statement from Peter Shanks,

:11:44.:11:49.

president and managing director of Cunard Line today. He was eager to

:11:49.:11:51.

reassure people that despite removing the name Southampton from

:11:51.:11:58.

its fleet, Cunard isn't looking to base its luxury liners elsewhere.

:11:58.:12:06.

Chrissy Sturt reports. Two months ago Cunard scrapped the

:12:06.:12:11.

name Southampton off its fleets. Since then local businesses and

:12:11.:12:14.

politicians have been questioning the commitment of the company to

:12:14.:12:19.

the city. One of Southampton's MPs is demanding a meeting with the

:12:19.:12:24.

Cunard president to clarify the situation. So does Cunard regard

:12:24.:12:29.

Southampton as the Home Park -- home port? I can reassure everyone

:12:29.:12:33.

that Southampton is the base for the Cunard Line. Our Britishness

:12:33.:12:39.

will live on for ever. But moving with the Times, we also want to

:12:39.:12:45.

offer weddings at sea. We have had tremendous interest in that. But we

:12:45.:12:49.

can reassure everyone of the economic benefit that would bring

:12:49.:12:53.

to the region and that will continue. Today the Queen Mary was

:12:53.:12:57.

showing off her lavish new look. Some of the lucrative contracts to

:12:57.:13:02.

update the furnishings have been one locally. A reminder of why the

:13:02.:13:09.

connection is so prized. The market is a demanding one with regulars

:13:09.:13:13.

expecting to see new carpets and colours in their favourite ships,

:13:13.:13:18.

making the Updates an endless process. So how long did it take to

:13:18.:13:22.

refit all pectin hundred cabins? Amazingly, less than two weeks.

:13:22.:13:29.

Only 12 days in a German dry dock. But why not here? With a ship this

:13:29.:13:33.

size we need to take it out of the water and there is not a dry dock

:13:33.:13:38.

large enough to do that in the UK. A lot of our British engineers and

:13:38.:13:42.

designers did most of the actual work in the cabins. So we get the

:13:42.:13:47.

British work but we can only do it in Germany. Parts of the industry

:13:47.:13:50.

have been struggling during the economic downturn but cruising

:13:50.:13:56.

seems pretty much recession-proof. On board the ship there will be

:13:56.:14:02.

2500 people on every trip, paying on average �3,000. The crews today

:14:02.:14:09.

was again fully booked. Even this suite - with an eye-watering price

:14:09.:14:19.
:14:19.:14:22.

tag of �12,000 per person, per week. Did I notice her slipping in and

:14:22.:14:29.

little cocktail?! Now all we have all this brought to

:14:29.:14:39.
:14:39.:14:39.

light. There was a Football League board meeting and the parent

:14:39.:14:43.

company of Portsmouth had gone into administration. There were

:14:43.:14:47.

discussing a possible points deduction for Portsmouth. But the

:14:47.:14:53.

club is still waiting to hear if that is likely to be imposed. No

:14:53.:14:56.

decision was taken today. At 34 and blighted by an Achilles

:14:56.:14:59.

injury which saw him miss virtually a year in the game, the career of

:14:59.:15:01.

Hampshire all-rounder, Dimitri Mascarenhas, could have been

:15:01.:15:05.

written off. But this season he battled back to rediscover his form.

:15:05.:15:08.

Today, he was rewarded with a two year extension to his contract,

:15:08.:15:17.

which will also see him resume his captaincy of the Twenty20 side. He

:15:17.:15:22.

spent his playing life with Hampshire, signing in 1996 aged 18.

:15:22.:15:29.

He is the longest service -- longer serving player in the county.

:15:29.:15:33.

never wanted to leave so from that perspective, it is great. We have

:15:33.:15:38.

some great youngsters and hopefully I can help with their development.

:15:38.:15:43.

They have been highs and lows. He was part of the Hampshire team to

:15:43.:15:48.

lift the trophy in 2005 and was made captain in 2008. The year

:15:48.:15:52.

later he led Hampshire to victory in the Lord's final against Sussex

:15:52.:15:56.

in the Friends Provident Trophy. But a series of the Achilles

:15:56.:16:01.

injuries meant that he played just half a match all season in 2010.

:16:01.:16:06.

But this summer he had a dramatic return to form. It has been a tough

:16:06.:16:11.

yet -- Tapia with injury. The club wanted to see if I could get

:16:11.:16:16.

through but a has proved my wife. His Hampshire career to date has

:16:16.:16:24.

seen him play 460 matches. He has made eight centuries and 48 1/2

:16:24.:16:28.

centuries and has taken 772 wickets. The announcement today insures it

:16:28.:16:32.

is not over yet. After Saturday's game, he called it

:16:32.:16:35.

the worst decision he's seen in many a year. And now it seems

:16:35.:16:37.

Reading manager, Brian McDermott, was absolutely right in that

:16:37.:16:40.

assessment. It's emerged the referee from Saturday's game

:16:41.:16:42.

against Blackpool has admitted his offside decision, in disallowing

:16:42.:16:45.

Simon Church's early goal was the wrong call and has offered an

:16:45.:16:54.

apology to Reading. Very disappointing. There was a

:16:54.:16:57.

gold incident which was blatantly on side and we could have had a

:16:57.:17:04.

penalty. We have been let down as far as the officials are concerned.

:17:04.:17:08.

It is a good thing, the referees need to come out and say that. It

:17:08.:17:12.

is one of those things. It was the wrong decision and they know that

:17:12.:17:18.

now. We can move on from that. The Royals have a sell out game

:17:18.:17:20.

against West Ham on Saturday - we'll look ahead to that tomorrow.

:17:20.:17:23.

To sailing now and the World Championships in Perth. Things are

:17:23.:17:25.

really hotting up in the Finn class. Weymouth's Giles Scott is in second

:17:25.:17:27.

place with triple Olympic gold medallist Ben Ainslie from

:17:27.:17:31.

Lymington in third. There are four more races to go before the medal

:17:31.:17:33.

race on Sunday. Weymouth windsurfer, Bryony Shaw, has slipped from

:17:33.:17:36.

second to fourth following her three races today, while in the

:17:36.:17:38.

men's 470, Luke Patience and Stuart Bithell - who are also Weymouth

:17:38.:17:40.

based - are second overall despite their worst race yet, where they

:17:40.:17:50.
:17:50.:17:54.

capsized and placed 28th. But of course that is their worst

:17:54.:18:01.

result and they can discount that. Their second overall still. But

:18:01.:18:05.

that is not the biggest sports news of the day.

:18:05.:18:07.

It all happened today by email. The first of our torchbearers were

:18:07.:18:15.

announced. I bet there's a few excited people tonight, Jo?

:18:15.:18:17.

Some of our most inspiring people have been rewarded with the chance

:18:17.:18:22.

to carry the Olympic Torch. It will arrive in in our region on July the

:18:22.:18:25.

9th next year. The torch will travel through more than a hundred

:18:25.:18:31.

towns and cities including Weymouth, Brighton and Reading.

:18:31.:18:32.

Roisin Gauson has been in Bournemouth meeting a school-girl

:18:32.:18:38.

who's proving to be a real Olympic inspiration.

:18:38.:18:45.

In scenes that seems like this will be coming to a street near yellow -

:18:45.:18:52.

- near you. The Olympic torch will travel to many destinations in the

:18:52.:19:01.

South before making its way to London. Today it becomes a human.

:19:01.:19:07.

And it is incredibly exciting to think these people standing over

:19:07.:19:17.

there will be carrying an Olympic torch.

:19:17.:19:21.

Alice type from Bournemouth and was one of the lucky people to get the

:19:21.:19:29.

e-mail today. It was amazing. I did not believe it. Then we had another

:19:29.:19:39.

phone call and I just thought, this is brilliant. Alice is a swim or

:19:39.:19:43.

the trains for mordant 15 hours a week. Her regime is only just got

:19:43.:19:48.

back on track. She spent 18 months and a wheelchair following an

:19:48.:19:55.

operation on a club foot. parents are proud of their children

:19:55.:20:02.

but she's just having a really hard time with surgery and it has been

:20:02.:20:08.

quite bleak at times. But for her, this has been a wonderful plus to

:20:09.:20:11.

all the negatives she has experienced. She thoroughly

:20:11.:20:17.

deserves it. Back in the water, Alice wasted no time regaining her

:20:17.:20:21.

form. Within two weeks she was selected for the UK school games

:20:21.:20:26.

and now she is training for the Paralympics and the team trials in

:20:26.:20:33.

March. Some swimmers turn up and some days they are quite lethargic

:20:33.:20:38.

but we never have that problem with Alice. She is ranked top five in

:20:38.:20:43.

every event she has entered. So she stands quite a good chance of at

feel really fast in the water and I'm so competitive. I always want

:20:55.:21:00.

to beat everyone around me and beat myself. Her dreams may lie in the

:21:00.:21:05.

swimming pool but from July next year, she will get an Olympic

:21:05.:21:09.

experience which will stay with her for life. It is just a once-in-a-

:21:09.:21:17.

lifetime opportunity. I cannot wait to tell everyone.

:21:17.:21:19.

Hundreds of other people across the South have also been receiving

:21:19.:21:22.

emails today telling them that they'll be running with the torch.

:21:22.:21:26.

Among them, Gillian Skeet from Romsey. She was nominated by her

:21:26.:21:29.

daughter Lucy for the work she does both as a career to her family and

:21:29.:21:38.

also as a foster mum. I have already started getting

:21:38.:21:46.

calls from my son's about trying to get fit. One plays rugby for a

:21:46.:21:52.

local team so I will be off to a few rugby matches and maybe running

:21:52.:22:00.

around the pitch! It is a huge responsibility.

:22:00.:22:03.

We would love to hear from anyone else out there because there are

:22:03.:22:07.

hundreds of people across the South and we would like to get in touch

:22:07.:22:13.

with as many of them as possible. So get in touch with us if you

:22:13.:22:22.

received one of those e-mails. It would be great to year from you.

:22:22.:22:32.

appropriate that he should be on it in his old part of the town. He was

Mr Basingstoke and it is a great reminder that he was very much the

a member of the choir here for 70 years. This is the 19th plaque we

huge contribution is that he really raised people's awareness of the

there were a lot of people present in tributes. The church was packed.

:24:26.:24:32.

around the town he dedicated his life to.

:24:45.:24:49.

Honouring Mr Basingstoke today with that special plaque. And let's go

pictures from Scotland. It has been incredibly windy. I

felt as if I was going to blow over at lunchtime! My chickens were

wind will ease but we still have some rain around. The wind

single figures. And there is the risk of some ice on untreated

:26:16.:26:22.

surfaces. Lots of sunshine on offer tomorrow, a complete contrast from
