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

:00:10.:00:12.

programme: A coroner calls for changes to the

:00:12.:00:15.

law after three elderly people die in separate fires without working

:00:15.:00:25.
:00:25.:00:25.

smoke alarms. If it's heartbreaking for them to think that if not for

:00:25.:00:29.

the small cost of the smoke alarm that death could have been

:00:29.:00:35.

presented fulsome -- prevented. And w hear for the first time from

:00:35.:00:38.

Reading's new Russian owner who tells us he will be able to build

:00:38.:00:41.

on the club's success. We think we can become the top 10 club Inter

:00:41.:00:48.

nationally. For Isle of Wight farmers call for more

:00:48.:00:51.

of their milk to be sold on the island instead of supermarkets

:00:51.:00:54.

importing it. And how to be a knight and do it right. Just how

:00:54.:00:57.

easy was it for 15th century nobles to settle their differences with

:00:57.:01:07.
:01:07.:01:10.

cold steel? A coroner has called for a change

:01:10.:01:13.

in the law to ensure vulnerable people living in private rented

:01:13.:01:18.

accommodation have working smoke detectors. Penny Schofield made the

:01:18.:01:21.

comments after the deaths of three elderly people in West Sussex in

:01:21.:01:25.

two years. In September 2010 a 64- year-old woman died after a fire at

:01:25.:01:30.

her home in Penstone Park Lancing. Her smoke alarm had no battery. In

:01:30.:01:34.

March this year a 65-year-old-man died in Gratwicke Road Worthing.

:01:34.:01:39.

Again there was no working smoke detector. Later that month, there

:01:39.:01:43.

was a similar incident in Selsey in which an 87-year-old man died. The

:01:43.:01:45.

coroner said tougher measures are needed to ensure detectors were

:01:45.:01:49.

wired to the mains. However, private landlords and the

:01:49.:01:52.

Government said they had concerns over the costs of such a move.

:01:52.:02:02.
:02:02.:02:02.

Roisin Gauson is in Selsey for us tonight.

:02:02.:02:05.

Three deaths. Three letters asking for a change in the laws governing

:02:05.:02:08.

smoke detectors. The most recent was penned following the death of

:02:08.:02:12.

87-year-old Trevor Barwick. He died in a fire in the ground floor flat

:02:12.:02:15.

of the building just behind me. This morning I spoke with

:02:15.:02:18.

firefighters who were called to the scene. They remember one clear

:02:18.:02:22.

image. They entered the flat and found the smoke detector hanging

:02:22.:02:32.
:02:32.:02:36.

from the ceiling. Its batteries were nowhere to be seen. Penny

:02:36.:02:39.

Schofield has resided over three inquests which she says it could

:02:39.:02:44.

have been avoided. In at least two of the three cases, it is quite

:02:44.:02:50.

clear that the individuals tried to escape the fire but it was just too

:02:50.:02:55.

late. There is great public awareness around smoke detectors,

:02:55.:02:59.

but it is not filtering through to those who really need this

:02:59.:03:03.

protection. Therefore I feel that that responsibility should be taken

:03:03.:03:07.

off the individual and put with the person who is renting the property

:03:07.:03:16.

out. 65-year-old Peder Leicester died in a blaze at his home. He is

:03:16.:03:21.

one of three pensioners to lose his life ever an 18th month period in a

:03:22.:03:29.

fire. None of them had working smoke detectors. Now pressure is

:03:29.:03:32.

mounting on the Government to give tenants a fighting chance of

:03:32.:03:38.

escaping before it is too late. have a moral obligation to save

:03:38.:03:43.

people. We would like to think that the landlord would have a moral

:03:43.:03:47.

obligation to look after their talent and it is just one small

:03:47.:03:50.

thing they could do, putting in smoke alarms, and we would support

:03:50.:03:55.

any legislation that would assist that are happening. Firefighters

:03:55.:03:59.

will come and carry out free home safety checks and make of

:03:59.:04:05.

honourable people a priority, but this coroner wants Lem Lords to be

:04:05.:04:12.

accountable by law. -- once landlord to be accountable by law.

:04:12.:04:18.

I have seen so many family is devastated by the loss of their

:04:18.:04:21.

loved one and it is difficult for them to dig -- deal with the fact

:04:21.:04:30.

that the death could have been prevented.

:04:30.:04:33.

The Department for Communities and Local Government were unable to put

:04:33.:04:36.

anyone up for interview today, but in a statement Minister Andrew

:04:36.:04:39.

Stunnell said too many laws and regulations would force up rents

:04:39.:04:42.

for tenants and it was important to get the balance right. Building

:04:42.:04:44.

regulations already require all new dwellings to have smoke alarms

:04:44.:04:47.

hard-wired in, and as a result, they say accidental fire deaths

:04:47.:04:56.

have halved in the last 20 years. So what's the view of private

:04:56.:05:04.

landlords about a possible change in the law? They do not want any

:05:04.:05:10.

laws brought am that say that smoke detectors have to be hard-wired in.

:05:10.:05:17.

-- brought in. They want to see batteries that last up to 10 years.

:05:17.:05:23.

The battery device is very quick and chip -- cheap to fit. A wired

:05:23.:05:29.

in one requires an electrician and a Certificate of once it is

:05:29.:05:36.

finished. It is much more involved. As an interim or even a prominent

:05:36.:05:46.

City Jewett -- Samaria, there should be a tenure battery life. --

:05:46.:05:51.

tenure battery life. The coroner says that no matter how long a

:05:51.:05:57.

battery lasts, they can still be taken out, and the hard wiring law

:05:57.:06:06.

would reduce significantly the chances of that happening.

He bought Reading Football Club for �25 million and was at the Madeskji

:06:10.:06:12.

Stadium for their first match back in the Premier League. Russian

:06:12.:06:15.

businessman Anton Zingarevich, at 34, is the youngest and newest

:06:15.:06:18.

owner of a Premier League club, with a supermodel wife and a father

:06:18.:06:21.

who is a Russian tycoon. In his first major television interview he

:06:21.:06:30.

told me about his plans for the future of Reading Football Club.

:06:30.:06:35.

And an official handover from the old regime to the new. The football

:06:35.:06:39.

club has been built up, and now comes the challenge to build

:06:39.:06:45.

further on the success. We really think we can become the top 10

:06:45.:06:49.

clubs in the UK financially, in terms of what Reading would make

:06:49.:06:53.

generally. They is this football club a plaything were a serious

:06:53.:06:59.

business venture? You cannot look at it and the other way. It is a

:06:59.:07:07.

business. -- you cannot look at it in any other way. You have to look

:07:07.:07:11.

after it. For me, I guess it is the age where you want to grow things

:07:11.:07:16.

and create something, so for me, the creation is something bigger

:07:16.:07:23.

and it makes me enthusiastic and it is really driving it will stop he

:07:23.:07:33.
:07:33.:07:35.

insists -- he insists -- and My father is getting all the

:07:35.:07:44.

benefits. He is worrying when there are mistakes. You have a little bit

:07:44.:07:47.

with your nerves but it is fun. Relationships are critical in

:07:47.:07:53.

football, so will he be a hands-on owner in daily dialogue with his

:07:53.:08:03.
:08:03.:08:03.

manager? The business part, yes I can boss people around a little bit,

:08:03.:08:13.

but in terms of the Football part of its, I will have a similar

:08:13.:08:18.

understanding of where I want to be. Right now I think we are happy with

:08:18.:08:21.

the relationship the way it is. are a big game against Chelsea

:08:21.:08:30.

tomorrow, what of the inevitable comparisons with Roman Abramovich?

:08:30.:08:38.

I do not think there is anything to compare, to be honest. He has been

:08:38.:08:44.

around for a number of years and we are just starting. The last half a

:08:44.:08:54.

year was good for everybody. I just hope we can keep going. Thank you

:08:54.:09:00.

very much for talking to us. Thank you very much. And you will be able

:09:00.:09:07.

to see a more detailed interview tonight on the BBC's Board website.

:09:07.:09:15.

-- the BBC sport website. The bodies of two soldiers from the

:09:15.:09:18.

South killed in Afghanistan were repatriated through RAF Brize

:09:18.:09:20.

Norton in Oxfordshire today. 26- year-old Lieutenant Andrew

:09:20.:09:22.

Chesterman of 3rd Battalion the Rifles came from Guildford, and

:09:22.:09:25.

died on Thursday after his vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb.

:09:25.:09:27.

Tidworth-based Lance Corporal Matthew Smith of the Royal

:09:27.:09:30.

Engineers, who was also 26, and the father of four young children, died

:09:30.:09:39.

just hours later while helping to construct a new checkpoint.

:09:39.:09:42.

An outbreak of the stomach bug E- coli among children at a nursery in

:09:42.:09:44.

Basingstoke has caused the local authority to launch an

:09:44.:09:47.

investigation as to how it occurred. Kiddi Caru in Beggarwood has

:09:47.:09:50.

voluntarily closed after two children fell ill and another had a

:09:50.:09:53.

suspected case of the illness. All three are now recovering. There is

:09:53.:09:56.

no evidence the nursery is the source of the infection. Deep

:09:56.:09:59.

cleaning is being carried out, and it will reopen as soon as

:09:59.:10:04.

environmental health officers say they are happy with its condition.

:10:04.:10:08.

Still to come in this evening's South Today: We'll look at how the

:10:08.:10:13.

Bank Holiday weekend weather is shaping up. And if you think it is

:10:13.:10:17.

a warm in shorts and T-shirts, be prepared to battle it out here in

:10:17.:10:27.
:10:27.:10:29.

the Isle of Wight in full armour. The family of an 85-year-old great-

:10:29.:10:32.

grandmother murdered in her home in Southampton have described the

:10:32.:10:34.

death as "extremely cruel" and a "pointless act" against an elderly

:10:34.:10:37.

and defenceless woman. Delia Hughes died after suffering several blows

:10:37.:10:40.

to her head. Two people arrested on suspicion of murder continue to be

:10:40.:10:41.

questioned, as Chris Robinson reports.

:10:41.:10:44.

Described as having a heart of gold, this is great-grandmother Delia

:10:44.:10:47.

Hughes. The 85-year-old was discovered inside her flat in

:10:47.:10:52.

Southampton's affluent Ocean Village on Saturday evening. She

:10:53.:10:56.

had suffered several blows to the head. Originally from Blackpool,

:10:56.:11:01.

Mrs Hughes has lived in Southampton for 17 years. Today, her devastated

:11:01.:11:04.

family paid an emotional tribute to the woman they described as the

:11:04.:11:14.
:11:14.:11:15.

kindest person anyone could wish meet.

:11:15.:11:25.
:11:25.:11:31.

Two neighbours who lived above Mrs Hughes' flat in Atlantic Close have

:11:31.:11:34.

been arrested on suspicion of her murder. It's been revealed they are

:11:34.:11:36.

37-year-old Tim Tritta, who was arrested on Sunday, and his

:11:36.:11:38.

pregnant 29-year-old girlfriend, Crystal O'Dell, who was detained

:11:38.:11:41.

yesterday. Detectives have been given an extra 24-hours to question

:11:41.:11:43.

Mr Tritta. Meanwhile, the search for evidence, including the murder

:11:43.:11:53.
:11:53.:11:54.

weapon, continues. Passenger aircraft have made 28

:11:54.:11:57.

emergency landings in the last two years because they were running low

:11:57.:11:59.

on fuel, according to the Civil Aviation Authority. They included a

:11:59.:12:02.

full emergency at Southampton and two Virgin Atlantic flights to

:12:02.:12:04.

Gatwick that had to switch to another airport. Our Transport

:12:04.:12:11.

Correspondent Paul Clifton is here. This sounds unusual.

:12:11.:12:15.

When a plane is running low on fuel, the pilot warns air traffic control

:12:15.:12:17.

and it is given immediate priority over other aircraft to land.

:12:17.:12:20.

According to the Civil Aviation Authority, 28 incidents in two

:12:20.:12:22.

years include an Embraer jet diverted to Southampton. When it

:12:22.:12:25.

couldn't land at once it declared a Mayday, that's a full emergency,

:12:25.:12:30.

because fuel was so low. Two Virgin Atlantic flights coming

:12:30.:12:33.

in to land at Gatwick in January were affected by bad weather. They

:12:33.:12:37.

were delayed and low on fuel, and had to transfer to Stansted to land

:12:37.:12:40.

more quickly. Don't planes have to carry enough fuel to cope with

:12:40.:12:44.

things like blocked runways and bad weather? Often, like the Virgin

:12:44.:12:47.

planes, the cause is a diversion to another airport because of bad

:12:47.:12:52.

weather. It's up to an aircraft captain how much fuel he takes on

:12:52.:12:56.

board. Legally, pilots entering British airspace have to carry

:12:56.:12:58.

enough fuel to complete their journey, plus enough in reserve to

:12:58.:13:01.

allow them to reach an alternative airport, plus enough to allow for

:13:01.:13:10.

30 minutes circling before being However, adding more fuel adds more

:13:10.:13:19.

weight, and therefore more fuel is burned, costing more money.

:13:19.:13:22.

Aviation is having a very tough time in the current economic

:13:22.:13:25.

climate and the pilots' union says crews are under pressure to keep

:13:25.:13:31.

costs down as far as possible. airline might have an aggressive

:13:31.:13:35.

your policy, but the risk of that can be low if other airlines do not

:13:35.:13:41.

have that policy, if they are carrying more reserved fuel. If the

:13:41.:13:46.

aircraft is able to push the other airplanes out of the way, that we

:13:46.:13:51.

have a knock on effects and if the other good things have low fuel

:13:51.:13:55.

situations, it can be an escalating issue. A spokesman for Virgin

:13:55.:14:00.

Atlantic said that the fuel management procedures exceed all

:14:00.:14:10.
:14:10.:14:12.

28 emergency their endings in two years might sound high, but the

:14:12.:14:16.

total number of a fuel related images he endings in the two years

:14:16.:14:26.

before that was slightly higher. When you do your shopping, do you

:14:26.:14:29.

ask the question, whereabouts has the milk come from? Well, dairy

:14:29.:14:32.

farmers on the Isle of Wight are urging consumers to do just that.

:14:32.:14:35.

And here's why. Here's a pint of milk produced and sold on the

:14:35.:14:38.

island. Here's one produced on the mainland and shipped over to the

:14:38.:14:42.

island. The farmers say 80 % of the milk they produce is shipped off

:14:42.:14:45.

the island on ferries at the same time as milk from the mainland is

:14:45.:14:48.

imported. Briony Leyland reports on the campaign to urge consumers to

:14:48.:14:55.

think local. Justin Birch is a man with a plan

:14:55.:15:00.

and he needs to be. With current milk prices, he reckons he loses

:15:00.:15:08.

about 5p for every litre is cows produce. His hope is that

:15:08.:15:12.

processing and selling all of the Isle of Wight smelled close to home

:15:12.:15:18.

will give a vital boost to the island's farmers. The problem at

:15:18.:15:21.

the moment is there is a lot of cheap milk that is coming over and

:15:22.:15:28.

it has a lot of the discount stuff that the supermarkets is selling.

:15:28.:15:33.

That needs to be ousted and then our milk can sit alongside the

:15:33.:15:40.

supermarket standard milk. The island without dairy cows would be

:15:40.:15:44.

quite a big place. That is what could happen if we keep getting

:15:44.:15:49.

milk coming in from the mainland. At the moment there are 15 dairy

:15:49.:15:53.

farmers and this time next year there could be seven. Test go is

:15:53.:16:03.
:16:03.:16:05.

the only -- Tesco is the only supermarket to stock local milk.

:16:05.:16:11.

have got to give the public in the supermarkets the opportunity to

:16:11.:16:14.

make a choice about whether they buy milk from the island or from

:16:14.:16:18.

the mainland. They probably believe that most of the milk in the

:16:18.:16:23.

supermarkets is Ireland milk. the major supermarkets have stores

:16:23.:16:29.

on the Isle of Wight. -- most off. Some say they are willing to talk

:16:29.:16:33.

to farmers but others stress they say they -- that they are ready do

:16:33.:16:43.
:16:43.:16:46.

He farmers have been handing out these cards, asking supermarkets to

:16:46.:16:50.

take in local milk. I would like to say that most of the milk comes

:16:50.:16:54.

from local farmers but I very much doubt it. What you pay a few extra

:16:54.:17:03.

pence a litre? Definitely. It keeps the money on the island. By paying

:17:03.:17:11.

extra your supporting the local farmers and that, that is fine.

:17:11.:17:14.

Dairy farmers feel like an endangered breed. The hope on the

:17:14.:17:18.

island is that the support from shoppers and supermarkets, they can

:17:18.:17:27.

look forward to a more secure future. We are still recovering

:17:27.:17:32.

from the local -- wonderful success of the Olympics and now we are

:17:32.:17:36.

looking forward to the Paralympics. Our expectations are going to be

:17:36.:17:40.

just as high. I think it could be a famous year for a Paralympic

:17:40.:17:50.
:17:50.:17:52.

athletes. -- for our Paralympic athletes.

:17:52.:17:55.

It was where Team GB claimed their first gold of the 2012 Olympics,

:17:55.:17:58.

and now the Paralympic rowing team are hoping they can repeat that

:17:58.:18:01.

success at Eton Dorney in the next few weeks. The team are hotly

:18:01.:18:04.

tipped medal favourites and have been training hard ahead of their

:18:04.:18:07.

events at the Paralympics. Today Emma Vardy watched them in action

:18:07.:18:09.

at the lake in Caversham. Training with an audience as the cameras

:18:09.:18:13.

were allowed in one more time. For make, this will be his first

:18:13.:18:18.

Paralympics. He only got into a boat just over two years, taking up

:18:18.:18:23.

rowing after losing his legs in an explosion while serving with the

:18:23.:18:29.

army in Afghanistan. It is an emotional three years from

:18:29.:18:32.

virtually serving in Afghanistan and being in hospital to crawling

:18:32.:18:38.

back to full health and recovery. This is a reward for that. Near it

spent a year recovering at the military rehab centre Headley

:18:42.:18:47.

caught with the belief that his injuries would not stop him taking

:18:47.:18:51.

part in sport. I set out very early on with the determination and the

:18:51.:18:56.

attitude that this was not going to change how I approach to life. If

:18:56.:19:00.

anything it was going to drive me on to achieve and two more in my

:19:00.:19:07.

life. Meanwhile, and the four man boat, this woman from Oxford is the

:19:07.:19:13.

voice driving the screw on. She is an able-bodied athlete chosen for

:19:13.:19:20.

this mixed crew. I remember thinking, what can they do? The

:19:20.:19:27.

difference is that I can still demand as much as I was on an able-

:19:27.:19:35.

bodied crew. One of the reasons Britain's paralympic growers are

:19:35.:19:41.

such contenders, it is because of this centre here. Many of the

:19:41.:19:51.
:19:51.:19:52.

athletes will train here. Becoming AGB Roller is demanding. You sort

won at the world champion just last year. Now they are hoping next

:20:05.:20:15.

could be Paralympic gold. Tomorrow night we'll have the goals

us. When he came up the water, he said he was not sure how far he

Hazel Steele sent in this picture of cows lying down under cloudy

skies at Compton Abbas in Dorset. But the skies brightened up nicely,

as demonstrated by David Canning's picture taken in Tadley in

Hampshire. And Jasper the cat enjoyed the afternoon sunshine at

Poole in Dorset. Thanks to Malcolm Lowe for sending that in. Today we

had a bit of everything. We saw the cloud and the sunshine. We have

:22:58.:23:05.

some showers coming but they will ease as the evening goes on. The

weather front has worked his way across and brought up fairly cloudy

:23:12.:23:17.

skies. It was, for some of us, a bit of a miserable afternoon. You

:23:17.:23:23.

can see that this was earlier this afternoon, a band of rain worked

:23:23.:23:26.

its way in from the South West and moved across parts of Oxfordshire

:23:26.:23:31.

and Berkshire. They are easing away and for the rest of us it will be a

dry night with clear spells. The breeze will be picking up and it

will bring us a muddy field for the night. -- a muddy field. A breezy

day tomorrow. We are looking at some decent spells of sunshine and

a mostly dry day. We could see the odd shower but most of us will

avoid them. Much brisker winds tomorrow and temperatures will be

:23:57.:24:02.

at best 21 or 22 Celsius. We are holding on to the dry and bright

:24:03.:24:08.

weather on Thursday, but parts of southern England will have some

cloud mating in with some rain. It is tied in to this area of low

pressure which will be sitting with us for the bank holiday weekend.

:24:21.:24:25.

Friday starts off at fairly light, but you can see the showers are

starting to creep in from the West. Friday afternoon will have the

:24:29.:24:32.

weather are going downhill and it does not bode too well for the

:24:33.:24:37.

weekend or even for Monday. There will be some bright and sunny

:24:37.:24:40.

spells in between the showers but it will be nothing like last

:24:40.:24:44.

weekend but I suppose that is good if you do not like the humidity.
