18/01/2012 South Today

Hello, welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme, safeguarding

thousands of jobs. Will the redevelopment of Southampton Docks

finally go ahead? Is a project that must be done this

year, because otherwise they were not be able to take the largest

ships coming into service. He feels humiliated. The disabled

man ordered off and easyJet flight because of safety fears. From hobby

to big business. The student who is made up about a worldwide success.

I remember in January 2010 I had about 2005 propounds.

For and have you lost a summer Euros?

We will bring you detail of the missing Euros at the Southampton

airport and the missing traveller An economic boost for Southampton.

2000 jobs could be secured in the City now the shipping minister has

given his personal backing to the future redevelopment of the port.

The government had been accused of not doing enough to push the

product -- project through, a project which campaigners say it

hold the key to thousands of jobs. The Labour MP John Denham says �150

million is needed to develop the project, which must be finessed

this year. -- finished. It is what has given us cheap

electronics, clothes and Tories. Imports from China. They are

arriving at a Southampton docks. But that lifeblood of the economy

would be choked off if they were not able to update the facilities

built in the 1960s, for the largest generation of new ships that are

being seen. There is �150 million that they are ready to spend,

private money, but for five frustrating years, they have been

refused permission. The upgrade to two of Southampton's

births would allow a new generation of ships to dock. But the company

have been prevented from spending the money because of a threat of

legal action from rival ports and government departments unable to

talk to each other, it was claimed. But today the minister promised to

bang heads together. We need to be in step with a market

which has worldwide. We have been world leaders in this for years and

years. We have stepped back from it by Syria's government. I take this

seriously, and I hope the plan goes ahead.

I think we have made real progress today, because the minister

accepted mistakes had been made. He said that he hopes they resources

will be made available, and he also told the other company to back off

from the legal challenges. They missed a lot to be sorted that,

but on a day of Ferdy it -- further gloomy unemployment figures, the

threat to 2000 jobs does seem to have rung alarm bells in government.

It has got the backing of the shipping minister. Does this mean

it will definitely go ahead? It is unusual foreign minister to

say that he is going to put pressure on another government

organisation like this. What he is saying is that the Civil Service in

-- civil servants will go in and watch over the people until they

sort all this out. A I think the commitment is there. Whether they

can also get other organisations on board and together in time for

September remains to be seen. listening to John Denham. How

important is this for the docks? Given the accident in Italy and the

threat to the cruise trade possibly in Southampton, where the

headquarters of the owners of that ship are, and also the threat from

ports like Liverpool, who want a slice of the action, I think this

is a really quite significant that the transport minister has come

forward and said we will make sure that Southampton gets the

permissions it needs, and given the bad news today with jobs, it is

something he had to do. A Portsmouth couple jailed for

their role in an international paedophile ring are to have their

cases reviewed -- referred to the Court of Appeal, as the Attorney-

General believes their sentences may be too lenient. Robert Hathaway

is eligible for release after six years. His partner, Melissa Noon,

is due to be released later this year. With others, they abused

children and posted images and videos of the offences on the

internet. The jury at Winchester Crown Court

in the case of the Hampshire man accused of the murderer -- murder

of pensioner Georgine Edwards has been sent home for the night.

Matthew Hamlen from Bishopstoke denies beating the 77-year-old to

death at her home in Eastleigh four years ago.

It is the biggest policing operation ever undertaken in the

Thames Valley. The limping policing plan for the rowing events at

Dorney Lake has taken at four years to compile. -- Olympic policing

plan. The site covers for it and 50 acres of parkland, and 30,000

spectators are expected each day for the Olympic and Paralympic

events. Set in four under the 50 acres of

parkland, the footprint of this Olympic menu is huge. Dorney Lake

may be quiet now, but thousands of people are coming here. Police in

an event of this size will take hundreds of officers.

We have got a detailed plans on how we are going to manage resources at

that time, and we have looked at things like an hour and will leave

policy and the way we can manage our meetings and rest days and

training allocations to make sure we have the resources in place to

deliver an operation here and also, it is important for the community

that we can still respond to everyday policing.

Trial runs at the lake began last year. This summer it will host the

Olympic and Paralympic events. The security of the Paralympic and

Olympic athletes and public is paramount.

Come the summer, there will be 30,000 spectators here every day.

Thames Valley Police is used to twice that number on things like

Royal Ascot, the difference is that this will run for around 20 days,

and the eyes of the world will be watching. The police presence has

already been stepped up. We are down here as often as we can

try to get information. The neighbourhood team it is a

regular sight, where there are mixed feelings about the event.

It is important we are aware of what is happening ahead of the

event. Security for the Olympic Games has

a budget of up to �600 million. 11 police forces and the military are

involved. The details of how the event is managed will not be

revealed. It is a measure of the pressure the police are under to

make sure the games pass without incident.

A jury has heard how I paycheck -- patient detained in a psychiatric

hospital died after drinking anti- freeze he had smuggled in. Derek

King, who was 56, had bipolar disorder, and had been in and out

of support clinic since he was 19. He bought the anti-freeze when he

was off but -- about an hour's leave from Parklands Hospital.

Derek King's family were at the coroner's inquiry this morning. He

had been at Parklands Hospital on and off for 10 years. Last summer

he was detained for drinking anti- freeze. After several weeks'

treatment, a psychiatrist decided he could be a rout short periods of

leave. -- allowed. Derek asked for one hour's leave

last summer, had it was granted. A senior nurse said that when he came

back, he seemed to be in a happy mood. He said he had bought a

bottle of Coke, and she saw it in his pocket. Later that night,

another nurse noticed he had been snoring strangely. When he -- when

she investigated, she found he had been found to be sick.

He died later that day. The bottle was found in his Bruen, inside,

anti-freeze. How had this been missed?

Surging someone is an intrusive thing to do, and we have protocols

as to where we might search someone ought some body, and it is

something to try and avoid if it can be avoided, because it is such

an intrusive, controlling thing to do. The Derek King's family said

they did not blame hospital staff, but they had concerns his drug

regime may have added to his suicidal tendencies.

The jury returned a narrative verdict.

An amateur horse rider has been found dead in Berkshire after being

crushed by her horse. The body of the 35-year-old woman was

discovered at stables called Mortimer West End Stables. It is

believed the horse slipped and fell on top of her. Police are not

treating the death as suspicious. More than two and then �50,000 is

to be spent upgrading CCTV in Bournemouth. -- �250,000. Last year,

four mobile cameras were put into operation to help tackle anti-

social behaviour in the area. Still to come, I you out of pocket?

A substantial sum of Euros were found at Southampton airport. Could

they be yours? A businessman says he was left

humiliated by easyJet when they turned him away from a flight at

Gatwick airport because of his disability. Dr Martin Sabry has

used a wheelchair for 17 years, but when he went to board an easyJet

flight to Montpellier, he was told he could not fly because he was

unable to walk to the emergency exit. EasyJet apologised and

allowed him on a later flight. Dr Martin Sabry flies every few

weeks because of business, but two weeks ago he was thrown off and

easyJet flight at Gatwick because he was disabled.

I was you -- I was asked to get off the plane because I could not walk

unaided to the emergency exit. I explained to him that I was

paralysed from the chest down and could not walk, but I could make my

way to the exit. That was not enough.

He was taken back to the terminal. When the ground crew decided he

could fly, the plane had already left.

I have been in a wheelchair for 17 years. I have never had anything

like this before, not with easyJet or anyone else.

Campaigners believe he has grounds for a case against the company.

It looks like he has been refused access based on his disability.

That would appear to go against the rules of the European legislation,

and I think he has a good case. Campaigners say it is the latest in

a series of cases where decided -- disabled passengers have been badly

treated. Last month, a woman was prevented from boarding -- boarding

a flight at Gatwick because easyJet said her guide dog did not have the

correct paperwork. Eurostar have been accused of Disability

discrimination after this chief executive was left on a train at

Brussels. In March 2010, this woman was

forced to take a 30 mile round trip simply to change platforms, because

the lift at the station was closed for safety look reasons. EasyJet

say they carry 1000 passengers who were disabled every day, but they

got it wrong in this case. I am very disappointed. We gave him

a bad experience, and we are very sorry. We can -- be tried to put

what we could write on the day by fly him out as quickly as we can --

could, but we are sorry in this case.

Martin Sabry says he will follow up with easyJet to ensure this never

Broadlands House in Romsey is to be the focus of an exhibition which

will outline the history of some of the South's most prominent families.

The display will include papers, letters and photographs from the

Broadlands Archive, which chronicles political events which

shaped Britain and the world. The archives relate to the histories of

the Palmerston, Shaftesbury and Mountbatten families, and include

more than a thousand letters from Queen Victoria. The archives have

recently been bought by Southampton University and will be on display

next month. It was an incredible coincidence

which transformed the life of a teenager from Hampshire. 19 year-

old Michael Paxman from Soberton had spent two years on dialysis

following kidney failure. A family friend was so moved by Michael's

situation he decided to sign the organ donor register - and to his

surprise turned out to be the perfect match for Michael.

He is used to saving lives in fires, but Stewart came to the aid of

Michael Paxman in an unexpected way. Stewart went on the organ donor

register after Michael had spent two years on dialysis, and was a

perfect match against all the odds. It was very unlikely. I think the

chances are around 30,000 to one to be a match. No one in my family was

a match and in my blood group, so this is very special and a new

lease of life. I can go on holiday, even drink what I want. It is like

I have been reborn. Michael and Stewart are now

campaigning for more people to join the organ donor of register, and

Stewart has teamed up with another Far Fighter for a charity run to

Land's End, then rowing back to Portsmouth. It is now one year

since Stewart discovered he was a match.

When his family had exhausted all other avenues, my wife put her name

forward and she was not a match, but luckily I was at issue and a

blood match. I went through four months, and I could donate.

Steward and Michael now want more donors to help this little girl

from Salisbury, who is waiting for transport trends -- transplant to

transform her life. A would be able to get round school

without being puffed out, go round by friends more, and I would have a

bit more freedom than I do. They hope the fundraiser to lines

end and back in May will raise �20,000 for the National kidney

Federation and local hospitals. She's created an online empire

using only a camera and a computer in her bedroom. 21 year-old Livie

Rose from Burgess Hill has always had a passion for makeup. Now her

online tutorials have earned her a global following and the beginnings

of a lucrative business. Katherine Downes has been to meet her.

Inspired by her hobby to build an international business. I am just a

girl who makes videos. And I talk about how to apply mascara in a

good way, and there are so many people around the world watching

those videos and saying, thank you for this video. Livie uploads

videos regularly, people watch them, and advertisers are vying for space

on her YouTube page. What is the most you have ever earned in a

month? In 20th January ten I earned about �2,500 in one month. That was

a good month. There is one main reason people watch a video, and

that is for the information on the education. If you can satisfy one

of those, you are set up to achieve some success. Livie has defied her

second year at university reading politics to pursue her online

Career. What would you like to see

happening? I would love to work for a publication, whether a magazine

or a newspaper. Because it is what I already do, but it would be a lot

of fun. It is my hobby, in work form.

Livie says this takes time and work, but it is worth it, and anyone with

a computer and a camera should have a golf. -- have a go.

One of the biggest sporting events in the south came under the

microscope today. Despite it being more than nine

months away, the countdown is already on to the 2012 Great South

Run, which was launched in Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard

today. You may have seen on the Six

The disappointment for Britain's rhythmic gymnastics team, whose

dreams of competing at London 2012 were shattered last night.

This race be allowed this race because it is flat. I do not get

bored, because a run so many miles a week. Obviously our live in

Hampshire, so all the people around here know about me, so it is really

good. Organisers are hoping to reach

30,000 competitors across the weekend. These include a five k

race and a junior run. And runners of all abilities keep coming back.

Two days before the last one, I would have said no way, but it was

a great occasion. It is for a good cause and it did not matter how

much pain I went through. Taking place two weeks after that -

- two months after the Olympics, this race could contain elite

runners from London. Charlotte is not worried about a recent injury

hampering her chances. In 2010 I carried an injury into the

Commonwealth Games, and it only to be six weeks to get back fully fit.

I had the big season ever after the injury. I am hoping that will be

repeated this year on a larger scale.

2012 is already guaranteed took leave a golden sporting legacy. For

thousands of part-timers, the Great South Run -- Great South Run medal

is the one they are after. Entries are open now. Brighton &

Hove Albion have spent another schedule break in North Wales after

their FA Cup replay at Wrexham was frozen off. He goes ahead this

evening. There is live commentary on BBC Sussex. Johnny Cantor is at

the race crime. Is there a sense of deja-vu with Albion struggling

against non-League sides? Yes, they successfully negotiated through to

their third round. The Seagulls come into the game on the back of a

win against Bristol City. There are three changes from that side. Well

Hoskins is up front, he has recovered from an eye injury. A

prestigious tie against Newcastle United awaits. Brighton beat them

in 1983, and in that year they went into the final.

But kick-off is earlier than usual, at 7:15pm. Live commentary on BBC

Sussex. You may have seen on the news the

disappointment for Britain's rhythmic gymnastics team, whose

dreams of 2012 was shattered last night. The team missed out on

qualification by less than 0.3 of a point, and will now sit out this

summer spectacular. Ellen Watson choreographed the goal's routine.

am gutted, but there are other avenues to pursue. There are other

arenas to perform in. It is an exquisite sport, we trained hard,

and it would be nice if we were supported a little bit more out in

Britain. That would give it the backbone to be able to qualify for

events like this. Sussex play their final group match

in the Caribbean Twenty20 competition late this evening. The

Sharks must beat Barbados to keep their slim chances of progressing

to the semi-finals alive. That match starts at midnight UK time,

and you can follow live coverage via the Sussex club website.

A local sailor has been selected take part in the Olympic flotilla.

-- the Diamond Jubilee flotilla. Can I talk about money? A loan from

BT you? If you had lost thousands of pounds,

would you notice it? I would not notice if I dropped 50p.

Officials at Southampton Airport are appealing for the right fork

owner of several thousands of you Romans to come forward.

A member of staff found the unusual haul of lost property.

These are the familiar faces in the line-up of lost property. Staff at

Southampton Airport rescue their fair share of forgotten glasses, on

brothers and false teeth. But last autumn, deadbeat spotted a bundle

of cash on the floor that took her breath away. I put it to one side,

hoping somebody would claim it. But however, the day went on and nobody

did. So it was handed over to our lost property department. So it was

just a bundle of money? How much are we talking about? Between 1010

1,000 euros. Nearer 10,000? Just lower than 10,000.

Several months on nobody has claimed the catch. They are

convinced that nothing is sinister about the find, and the airport a

spreading the word and across Europe.

We informed the police, and also we did check whether it was

counterfeit money, and it is not. So we are just hopeful that it has

fallen out of somebody's pocket, and that hopefully somebody will

remember and contact us. You might expect us to show you the

money, but we cannot. The airport will not let us. They have told us

it is in an envelope in a safe. They do not want to give too much

away. They want the right owner to come forward. So anyone claiming

the cash will have to tell them exactly when they travelled, where

they travel to, the flight details, the amount of money they lost, and

the denominations of the notes. All passengers are invited to

donate spare pennies, but if the euros are still unclaimed by the

end of the month, one lucky charity will be in for a windfall. The

money will go to local cancer charities.

I seem to have dropped some money! I have got an envelope in the

dressing room... It will be difficult to give it

George Andrews captured a couple braving the damp weather at

Bracklesham Bay. Ken Rayner took this photo of

Donnington Castle near Newbury. And Dave Gillings captured cherry

blossom in his garden in Highcliffe. There will be rain at times, some

sunshine, and it will be breezy. So fairly call out in the open, a wet

and a mild night to come. So if you are doing any stargazing, I am

afraid there will be a lot of cloud around. Richard staying dry

initially, before a weather front and rides around midnight. Heavier

bursts around the M4 corridor, temperatures around the South Coast

ten or 11 Celsius. Further inland, dropping to around six to eight

Celsius. So a damp start to the day. You can see the darker blues and

greens, but the good news is it is an improving picture. Sunny spells

but the afternoon, varying amounts of cloud here and there. Milder

conditions along the south coast. Cooler conditions further inland.

Tomorrow night it will turn colder than tonight, but is due to the

clearing skies. Temperatures will plunge to single figures, but not

as cold as the start of the week, a low of 3-six Celsius. The breeze

should keep a frost at bay. It will be a dry, bright start to the day

on Friday. But this weather front will slight its way south and

eastwards across the country, introducing rain by the end of the

day. Saturday, a bright start and a dry start for some of us. Rain or

showers are possible. Sundays starts cloudy but dry, Conan Baliga

expected by the end of the day. He is the summary. There will be some

rain a round tomorrow, it could be heavy in places. A lot of cloud on

Friday, rain is expected by the end of the day. Then on Saturday, rain
