Come to South today. On tonight's programme -- programme...

At we must do more, a father says we're not doing enough to tackle

children with brain tumours. They left it for a year. It does

:00:30.:00:33.

former fiancee admits he masqueraded as a doctor to find out

:00:33.:00:37.

when she was working. A 21 gun salute as the south helps mark the

:00:37.:00:39.

Queen's Diamond Jubilee. And Portsmouth gears up to

:00:39.:00:46.

celebrate the birth of one of it's most famous sons.

:00:46.:00:50.

He made people laugh, he made people cry, he showed people how

:00:50.:00:54.

indignant he was a boat social abuses, and the people of England

:00:54.:01:04.
:01:04.:01:05.

knew he was on their side. -- he It is being claimed that children

:01:05.:01:08.

with brain tumours are not being diagnosed early enough - and some

:01:08.:01:12.

may be dying as a result. A Hampshire man whose daughter went

:01:12.:01:14.

eight months before being diagnosed travelled to Brussels today to help

:01:14.:01:20.

raise awareness of the problem. In the UK, brain tumours are diagnosed

:01:20.:01:24.

in about ten children a week. Each year they kill more children than

:01:24.:01:27.

any other disease. About �4.5 million is spent researching the

:01:27.:01:35.

condition - less than 1% of cancer funding. Here is our Health

:01:35.:01:42.

Correspondent, David Fenton. Samantha was a bright and musically

:01:42.:01:47.

talented young girl with much to the fore. She was 17 when she died.

:01:48.:01:52.

-- with much to live for. She was not boastful about her

:01:52.:01:57.

talent, and people said she would upper room whenever she was there.

:01:57.:02:03.

Her smile was quite enigmatic. Michael believes his daughter could

:02:03.:02:07.

still be alive today if her brain tumour had been diagnosed sooner.

:02:07.:02:13.

For eight months, doctors thought she had epilepsy, my grains or even

:02:13.:02:17.

a chocolate allergy. We're always told to catch things

:02:31.:02:34.

Brain tumours are rare, and the symptoms can often be mistaken for

:02:34.:02:38.

something else. A GP would probably not expect to

:02:38.:02:42.

see more than one or two people appear at their clinics who would

:02:42.:02:46.

be diagnosed with a brain tumour. It would not be the first thing

:02:46.:02:50.

that pops into their head when a parent presents with their child

:02:50.:02:54.

who has been sick. But many cancer specialists, like

:02:54.:02:58.

Paul Grundy, believe we must do better.

:02:58.:03:03.

They earlier we diagnose these tumours, the easier, safer, more

:03:03.:03:07.

effective our surgical treatment will be. It is vital we pick these

:03:07.:03:11.

up as early as possible. To do that, make and others believe that

:03:11.:03:16.

doctors should use a simpler system to spot danger signs so that

:03:16.:03:20.

children like Samantha can be treated sooner and more lives can

:03:20.:03:24.

be saved. A little earlier I spoke to Neil

:03:24.:03:27.

Dickson, who also lost a daughter to a brain tumour. He runs the

:03:27.:03:30.

Samantha Dickson Brain Tumour Trust. It has spent nearly a �250,000

:03:30.:03:33.

creating Headsmart - to improve the diagnosis of brain cancer in

:03:33.:03:40.

children. I asked him how Headsmart works.

:03:40.:03:44.

We identified all the most common symptoms in three different age

:03:44.:03:49.

groups, very small children, school children and teenagers. We wanted

:03:49.:03:54.

to get that out to all the GPs and families that may be affected so

:03:54.:03:58.

that they were aware of the other symptoms, because the main symptom

:03:58.:04:03.

is a deep-seated headache. There are of her symptoms, and you cannot

:04:03.:04:07.

scan every one with a headache, but if you get another symptom then

:04:07.:04:12.

hopefully a warning bell starts to It is a very simple checklist. By

:04:12.:04:21.

notice it is for under five-year- old, 5-11s and 12-18s. It is as

:04:21.:04:27.

simple as that? It is, they will come in with a

:04:27.:04:31.

headache and the GP sees a headache. When the other symptoms are

:04:32.:04:38.

identified, matching that symptom with the headache the warning bells

:04:38.:04:41.

should start ringing. Any indication this is already

:04:41.:04:45.

working? We have 20 centres throughout the

:04:45.:04:48.

UK and the a recording the time it takes to diagnose a child from the

:04:48.:04:53.

original symptoms, and the indication is we are now below the

:04:53.:04:56.

average ten weeks, and when we started it was 13 weeks. We are

:04:56.:05:02.

aiming to get it to six weeks over two years. It is still too long.

:05:02.:05:06.

Why is it in other parts of Europe it is more successful to diagnose

:05:06.:05:11.

early? What are they doing? It is probably due to awareness,

:05:11.:05:16.

understanding of brain tumours. A lot of people do not realise

:05:16.:05:20.

children get brain tumours. Everyone knows they get leukaemia,

:05:20.:05:23.

but if you asked ten people in the street, or maybe seven would know

:05:23.:05:31.

they got brain tumours. We must get GPs to look at these other symptoms.

:05:31.:05:34.

Thank you very much. A bank worker accused of harassing

:05:34.:05:37.

his former fiancee and setting fire to her mother's house has admitted

:05:37.:05:41.

masquerading as a doctor to find out about her work rota. Al Amin

:05:41.:05:44.

Dhalla, who lived in Brighton, also told the court that he had visited

:05:44.:05:47.

her mother's village on the night of the alleged arson but said he

:05:47.:05:57.
:05:57.:05:59.

did not start the fire. Danielle Al Amin Dhalla told the jury he was

:05:59.:06:02.

the type of person to turn the other cheek, and that his fiancee's

:06:02.:06:06.

mother had treated him horribly, but he would not have had work and

:06:06.:06:12.

he denied setting fire to her house. He admits being in the village on

:06:12.:06:15.

the night of the alleged arson, but at the time the fire started he

:06:15.:06:20.

said he was miles away asleep in his car. The court heard his flat

:06:20.:06:25.

smelt of fuel. He said that is because a paraffin stove had leaped

:06:25.:06:29.

-- leaked in a cupboard. Al Amin Dhalla also admitted he

:06:29.:06:32.

went to the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath. His former

:06:32.:06:38.

fiancee, Alison Hewitt, worked there. He said, I borrowed a couple

:06:38.:06:41.

of props I needed to gather intelligence and left.

:06:41.:06:47.

He admitted he put on a doctor's Court, carried a stethoscope and a

:06:47.:06:52.

folder. He approached a doctor and found out Alison Hewitt would be in

:06:52.:06:57.

at 8:30pm at the next morning. He told the jury, I got in, got the

:06:57.:07:01.

information and got out again. The court heard he had no malicious

:07:01.:07:06.

intent. But he said he just wanted to see his former fiancee.

:07:06.:07:10.

When he returned to the hospital he was arrested by armed police. A

:07:10.:07:16.

crossbow, and knife and empty fuel cans were found in his car. He said

:07:16.:07:21.

it was for a camping trip. He said - but he was asked if his intention

:07:22.:07:26.

was to hurt anyone. He said no. Many of the families forced from

:07:26.:07:28.

their homes in a Basingstoke street after a gas explosion yesterday

:07:28.:07:32.

morning, are going to have to wait another night to get home. The

:07:32.:07:39.

explosion left a woman with severe burns to her hands. She is now

:07:39.:07:42.

recovering in Salisbury Hospital. Repair crews worked overnight to

:07:42.:07:45.

make the area safe and the cause is still being investigated. About 20

:07:45.:07:50.

households were told to evacuate. You going to a moored off, get what

:07:50.:07:54.

we need and get out. When you get out, you think, well there has been

:07:54.:07:59.

there? Then you find your friend has been burnt, and that is

:07:59.:08:09.

unsettling. It has a hard feeling bring you have friends, but...

:08:09.:08:12.

People living in Surrey will have to pay more towards policing from

:08:12.:08:15.

April. Surrey Police Authority today rejected the government's

:08:15.:08:18.

offer of a grant in return for freezing their share of council tax.

:08:18.:08:22.

Instead tax will go up by 2.5% - around �5 a year for an average

:08:22.:08:25.

household. Security experts have warned we're

:08:25.:08:29.

making it far too easy for online fraudsters. With more and more

:08:29.:08:32.

personal information being held online it seems not all of us are

:08:32.:08:37.

being as careful as we should be. Inside Out presenter Jon Cuthill

:08:37.:08:40.

went for a ride on a ghost train with an online expert, and it

:08:40.:08:50.

wasn't just the spooky goings on We all think we're too clever to be

:08:50.:08:53.

taken for a Reagan, but 4 million people in the UK have had their

:08:53.:08:59.

identity stolen. Security expert Natasha Malden thinks we're making

:08:59.:09:05.

it all too easy for online stammers. The vast majority of people have

:09:05.:09:09.

the same password for most of their social accounts, social that

:09:09.:09:14.

walking, shopping and bank accounts. They will generally have a password

:09:14.:09:20.

which is generally a word, and they will put a number run the end of it,

:09:20.:09:26.

always a variation on that word. By will give you one password,

:09:26.:09:30.

don't be sure the past -- don't show the camera. You challenges to

:09:30.:09:33.

see how much you can get from that one password.

:09:33.:09:39.

It is not just me who is guilty of giving away secrets. Internet

:09:39.:09:42.

stammerers tried every trick in the book to get your passwords, and

:09:42.:09:46.

once they have one... For Muir Facebook I can find out who you are

:09:55.:10:00.

had learned a lot more. Vital information that could prove

:10:00.:10:04.

invaluable. All of it is very useful. If I

:10:04.:10:08.

wanted to break into your house I would know when you win a week, how

:10:08.:10:13.

:10:31.:10:35.

A 21 gun salute was fired by the Royal Navy today to mark the 60th

:10:35.:10:37.

anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne. The

:10:37.:10:40.

saluting gun at Fort Blockhouse at Gosport was fired at 12 noon. It

:10:40.:10:43.

has been a tradition for the Royal Navy to mark important

:10:43.:10:47.

anniversaries of the Royal Family in this way.

:10:47.:10:50.

Meanwhile the Princess Royal has been in Hampshire - both to mark

:10:50.:10:52.

the Diamond Jubilee and to visit an education centre which teaches

:10:53.:10:55.

children about food and farming. Laverstoke Park Farm near

:10:55.:10:59.

Basingstoke is owned and run by the former racing driver Jody Scheckter.

:10:59.:11:03.

His wife, Clare, set up the centre when friends of her own children

:11:03.:11:12.

didn't know where their food came from. Caroline Richardson reports.

:11:12.:11:15.

Pupils at Wharton primary school were pondering whether the chicken

:11:15.:11:22.

or the egg came first in one of the classrooms. It is not brand-new -

:11:22.:11:25.

the building used to belong to Hampshire County Council and has

:11:25.:11:31.

been recycled. Schools are welcomed for three but -- free, where they

:11:31.:11:36.

will get a full tour of the farm. They have been to the milking

:11:36.:11:41.

parlour, so they understand how we milk buffalo. There are learning

:11:41.:11:51.
:11:51.:11:54.

about chickens and eggs, and they also play match the Pru Jody

:11:54.:11:58.

Scheckter fell into farming when he gave up his racing career, but a

:11:58.:12:02.

posted with the same passion. I started out wanting to learn more

:12:02.:12:06.

about food for my family. Everything we eat comes from the

:12:06.:12:13.

soil. Healthy soil, it means healthy animals and healthy people.

:12:13.:12:18.

Pupils from another school have been using the facility's cookery

:12:18.:12:21.

school and topped up the process through their three-course menu.

:12:21.:12:26.

She was asking about what was going in, she seemed really interested.

:12:26.:12:30.

It was scary, but I felt special speaking to her.

:12:31.:12:35.

The tree planted to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee eight ended

:12:35.:12:40.

the first visit. The first of many Diamond Jubilee celebrations in the

:12:40.:12:42.

months to come. Still to come in this evening's

:12:42.:12:44.

South Today... David Allard is travelling back in

:12:44.:12:49.

time. Join me at the Portsmouth

:12:49.:12:53.

birthplace of one of our most popular writers as we celebrate 200

:12:53.:13:03.

It is a programme of arts and music that runs alongside the Olympic

:13:03.:13:07.

Games and last night, Festival 2012 came to Southampton with their

:13:07.:13:12.

world premiere of a new piece of classical music. Narrated by

:13:12.:13:18.

actresses Julia Stephenson, Spinal Chords tells the story of a woman

:13:18.:13:22.

paralysed by a horse-riding accident. In the year of the

:13:23.:13:26.

Paralympics, it has a special significance.

:13:26.:13:30.

And already aware that my life as I know it has ended. The little girl

:13:30.:13:40.
:13:40.:13:41.

is dead, her dreams are atomised. The final preparations are just an

:13:41.:13:49.

hour before the world premiere. read her text, and I thought it was

:13:49.:13:54.

a remarkably courageous and lucid account of this accident that

:13:54.:14:00.

happened to her. I tried to write lyrically, I think. You were so

:14:00.:14:05.

high in there and then to jump and then you crash. It was a fairly

:14:06.:14:10.

straightforward them to bring together, some of the pain and

:14:10.:14:18.

inspiration I had, and the hope. Melanie wrote the words, and the

:14:18.:14:24.

music was from her close friend. had this image of the piece being

:14:24.:14:28.

made up of court and then I had the idea of deconstructing those courts

:14:28.:14:32.

as if they had been broken up and then gradually bringing them

:14:32.:14:38.

together. -- those courts. It was a bit like the process of healing.

:14:38.:14:45.

In Olympic year, it is a project with special significance. Music

:14:45.:14:50.

and very -- any art form has parallels with sport. It is about

:14:50.:14:53.

dedication and achieving your personal best.

:14:53.:15:01.

Qualities there is no doubt she has in abundance. The daydreams,

:15:01.:15:11.
:15:11.:15:11.

amazingly, they are starting to come back as well.

:15:11.:15:14.

Special work there for Festival 2012.

:15:15.:15:21.

We have the sport now. Not a lot of football because of the weather.

:15:21.:15:26.

Did we have any goals? One goal. I was watching the Super

:15:26.:15:32.

Bowl late last night, and it was played indoors. I think our

:15:32.:15:37.

football clubs would appreciate that. Most of the programme was

:15:37.:15:43.

postponed for bad weather. There were two games in the

:15:43.:15:50.

championship. That is Birmingham City and some well-insulated bans.

:15:50.:16:00.
:16:00.:16:02.

-- fans. Here is the goal. Ten-man Brighton beat nine man Leicester.

:16:02.:16:06.

More of the weekend's Football League action on Late Kick Off

:16:06.:16:11.

tonight at 11:05pm. Portsmouth's players and staff

:16:11.:16:14.

continue to wait for their pay cheques as they prepare to play

:16:14.:16:23.

tomorrow night. The manager is telling his players not to be

:16:23.:16:28.

distracted. None of us got paid a penny when we

:16:28.:16:33.

were younger, and we just played because we loved the game. It

:16:33.:16:36.

sometimes helps to put things in perspective and there are a lot of

:16:37.:16:40.

people at our football club who do not enter the field of play on a

:16:40.:16:44.

Tuesday night and they are not getting paid either and they still

:16:44.:16:50.

turn up for work. London Irish braved freezing

:16:50.:16:55.

conditions at Reading to beat Gloucester 20-15. It was not enough

:16:55.:17:03.

to qualify for the finals. The game was always in the home side's Deva.

:17:03.:17:07.

This was the real star, kicking six penalties.

:17:07.:17:13.

Great Britain's women's Hockey team took silver in the Hockey trophy

:17:13.:17:18.

last night. The team included six players from Reading Hockey Club.

:17:18.:17:24.

They were beaten 1-0 by Argentina in the final. They had beaten

:17:24.:17:31.

Germany on Saturday to set that up. I enjoyed the Six Nations.

:17:31.:17:36.

I great start. He is probably Portsmouth's

:17:36.:17:41.

favourite son. Tomorrow marks 200 years since he was born in the city.

:17:41.:17:45.

He is probably best known for writing his novels, which gained

:17:45.:17:48.

him a huge fan base throughout the world.

:17:48.:17:52.

Even if you have never read one of his books you will probably know

:17:52.:17:57.

the characters from one of the many film and TV versions of his work.

:17:57.:18:03.

The rich characters, Kumar, and drama of Dickens have attracted

:18:03.:18:11.

film-makers since the early days. David Copperfield was one of

:18:11.:18:18.

Holyrood -- Holyrood's first adaptations.

:18:18.:18:28.
:18:28.:18:34.

This version of Oliver Twist was seen as a classic of British cinema.

:18:34.:18:41.

Turn on your television and Dickens has always been there.

:18:41.:18:50.

The paper that has been filmed most times is a Christmas Carol.

:18:50.:19:00.
:19:00.:19:01.

A real festive favourite. And from page to stage. The musical

:19:01.:19:06.

of all of her has entertained audiences for more than 50 years. -

:19:06.:19:16.
:19:16.:19:19.

- the musical of all of her. -- Oliver!

:19:20.:19:24.

David Allard is that the Dickens birthplace Museum in Portsmouth.

:19:24.:19:29.

You look very fine. Thank you very much. You have to

:19:29.:19:33.

dress for the occasion because it is a 200 years since Charles

:19:33.:19:37.

Dickens was born in this very room. This is the house in which he was

:19:38.:19:43.

born. It is now be Dickens's birthplace Museum. It has been

:19:43.:19:49.

restored to Regency-style, close to how it would have been back then.

:19:49.:19:55.

We sent the great, great grandson of the writer back in time on a

:19:55.:20:05.
:20:05.:20:12.

I was born at Portsmouth, an English seaport town principally

:20:12.:20:16.

remarkable for mugs, Jews and sailors. My father, holding in

:20:16.:20:24.

those days as situation under government, in the Navy Pay Office.

:20:24.:20:28.

That was how my great, great grandfather described the city of

:20:28.:20:34.

his birth. I am at the round Tower, one of the fortifications built to

:20:34.:20:38.

protect Portsmouth from attack which was a real threat in the

:20:38.:20:44.

1800s. The war against Napoleon was still raging and that made

:20:44.:20:48.

Portsmouth a boom town. People were flocking to the town.

:20:48.:20:52.

Pressure on accommodation and services was immense. They would

:20:52.:21:00.

have been a lot of activity, ships being loaded, prices ships coming

:21:00.:21:08.

The dockyard employed thousands of men. The conditions outside the

:21:08.:21:11.

dockyard in the slums were as bad if not worse than you could

:21:11.:21:20.

possibly imagine. So this is where Charles Dickens'

:21:20.:21:26.

father worked, where he was paid the sum of �108 per year for his

:21:26.:21:33.

services. The Dickens family first lived at

:21:33.:21:43.
:21:43.:21:43.

this house. This is their rent book. They paid �33 per year.

:21:43.:21:48.

The family was quite well to do but not very high up the scale. This

:21:48.:21:54.

was a new house. They would have looked out on telly

:21:54.:22:03.

or turds, and at least one of when -- won windmills. Today the view is

:22:03.:22:12.

very different. On 7th February, 1812, Charles Dickens was born. He

:22:12.:22:22.
:22:22.:22:22.

was baptised here. Soon afterwards, the family moved to a cheaper

:22:22.:22:30.

property. This new house was destroyed in an air raid in 1941.

:22:30.:22:34.

John Dickens used to drink in the pub at the end of the road. The
