Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme: | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
The moment of impact — a skipper denies responsibility after his | :00:09. | :00:15. | |
racing yacht crashed into a tanker. Laughing all the way to the bank — | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
the council helping businesses like this set up when the big lenders | :00:18. | :00:26. | |
have said no. The council came to me and said we | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
have got something you can apply for, a start—up grant scheme, so | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
they saved my bacon. From brushing their teeth to doing | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
their make up — the police video catching motorists behind the wheel. | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
And a preview of the hidden gems from an Elizabethan house going on | :00:42. | :00:53. | |
public display. We never threw anything away. We | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
keep coming across things and surprising ourselves. It's great. | :00:58. | :01:07. | |
A criminal trial has begun into a collision at sea, when a yacht under | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
the command of a Royal Navy officer crashed into an oil tanker. It | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
happened during Cowes Week in 2011. Yacht skipper Roland Wilson is | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
charged with three counts of contravening maritime collision | :01:18. | :01:32. | |
regulations. One person had to be rescued from the water after the 33 | :01:32. | :01:44. | |
foot racing yacht hit the tanker. One of the yacht crew jumped | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
overboard and was rescued safely. Another member suffered head | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
injuries. The seas were calm and the visibility excellent. Roland Wilson, | :01:56. | :02:06. | |
the owner and skipper, was at the helm. He is charged with failing to | :02:06. | :02:17. | |
keep a proper lookout and failing to maintain control. | :02:17. | :02:30. | |
They looked at expert analysis of radar data and decided it was the | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
yacht's responsibility to avoid a collision. At no point was the | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
engine turned on. In court, it emerged that the tanker | :02:41. | :02:51. | |
had just taken a piece of action to avoid this motor cruiser. The pilot | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
who controlled the tanker said he had given five warning blasts on the | :02:58. | :03:05. | |
ship's whistle but the Atalanta yacht went straight into its path. | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
He was asked if he thought he should slow down and given how busy the | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
Solent was. He said that speed was not a factor | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
and that could have carried it on risks. | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
A Ghurkha soldier whose wife was strangled as she walked near their | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
Berkshire home says the months following her murder were tougher | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
than any military training. Glen Nelson from Arborfield was today | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
beginning a life sentence for the killing in June this year. He | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
admitted murder and attempted rape. Thaluman Mabo said he had been | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
determined to get justice for his wife Krishnamaya and their three | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
children who now faced growing up without a mother. | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
This winter businesses in Dorset will be able to apply for a loan, | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
not just to their bank but to a local authority. In November, | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Bournemouth is to start lending money to companies who need to raise | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
finance. Next year they'll be offering mortgages to home buyers | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
and, if this is a success, the ambition is to open a bank for | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
Bournemouth. With the latest in his special series on local banks, | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
here's our business correspondent, Alastair Fee. | :04:11. | :04:20. | |
We borrow books from libraries like this in their thousands. It is a | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
service we expect. Now the council in Bournemouth is going to lend | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
money. The council is not joking but it has | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
raised a smile at this laughter workshop. After the banks turned | :04:34. | :04:43. | |
them away, the local authority stepped in. | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
I went to the high street banks and it was a room ought phone call | :04:49. | :05:02. | |
rather than a face—to—face meeting. I only wanted to borrow £5,000 and | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
was turned down. The council came to me and said we've got something you | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
can apply for, a start—up grant scheme, so they saved my bacon. | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
Bournemouth Council will be offering loans of up to £10,000 at mortgages | :05:19. | :05:27. | |
up to £150,000 in the New Year. It could be the first step to setting | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
up a new bank. I don't think we can do a better job | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
but we need to support our community by moving into that space because of | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
the problems we are having with people in our community not been | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
able to afford things. Bournemouth once to take £15 million | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
from its reserves, set up a company and start lending. We have been | :05:55. | :06:05. | |
modelling different scenarios. I think we have been extremely proved | :06:05. | :06:19. | |
an default rates —— prude. Councils have always invested | :06:19. | :06:28. | |
taxpayers' money. The best interest rate it can get on the markets is | :06:28. | :06:39. | |
0.8%. According to the forecasts, after ten years, the same investment | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
would bring in an annual return of £8 million. If they get it right, | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
the council's finances could have a brighter outlook. They want their | :06:49. | :07:00. | |
money to work harder at supporting local services and the economy. | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
We are trying to get the best return for the taxpayer. What we are not | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
doing is exposing them to any greater risk than we currently do in | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
any traditional management terms anyway. | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
Would you put your money into that sort of bank? | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
I would give them a goal. I would prefer a spent money on something | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
for the kids. I am a canny Scot! | :07:28. | :07:36. | |
It might sound funny in principle, but if the sums add up, it could | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
catch on and the joke could be at the expense of the banks. | :07:41. | :07:53. | |
A local councillor is with me now. Can we talk about the expertise. You | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
are a retired chartered accountant but what about the staff? They are | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
not used to working for a bank and they are dealing with public money. | :08:07. | :08:16. | |
There will be rules and regulations and things will be monitored | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
carefully. There shouldn't be problems at all. So there will be | :08:19. | :08:31. | |
some training there. What guarantees do the council tax payers of | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
Bournemouth have that their money is in safe hands? | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
First of all, you will have seen on the film how the £15 million | :08:41. | :08:50. | |
reserves is bringing in negligible returns and the aim is to ensure | :08:50. | :08:57. | |
safety and to maximise the return. We have had to go right across the | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
local government to make sure there are efficiency savings, maximum | :09:03. | :09:11. | |
returns. What would council tax payers get back if you make money? | :09:11. | :10:11. | |
It is a coastal activity Park now and has had a grant from the | :10:11. | :10:21. | |
government. They can trust us. Don't forget that any money that is lent | :10:21. | :10:28. | |
will have proper security. Thank you for coming in and explaining more | :10:28. | :10:43. | |
from us —— explaining more to us. If you want to let us know your | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
thoughts on community banking or see any of Alastair's special reports | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
again then they are all on our Facebook page. And you can always | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
email us at [email protected]. A 29—year—old man arrested after a | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
4x4 was driven into three planes parked on a Berkshire airstrip has | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
been released on police bail. The man had been detained by police | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
after the incident at the airstrip at Englefield near Reading which | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
caused an estimated six to seven hundred thousand pounds' worth of | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
damage. Still to come in this evening's South Today: In the pink — | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
the all—female sailing team gearing up for a round—the—world challenge. | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
A long running, bitter row with a constituent has led to an MP | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
attacking the way police have treated him. In a strongly worded | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
speech in the House of Commons, Tim Loughton, the MP for East Worthing | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
and Shoreham, accused Sussex Police of breaching its own guidelines | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
after it issued him with a harassment warning. The force is | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
robustly defending itself, saying it's treated the MP correctly. James | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
Ingham reports. What started as a row between an MP | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
and a constituent has become a much wider debate about the right of MPs | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
to carry out their work without interference from outside | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
Parliament. Tim Loughton told the Commons that despite suffering | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
ongoing vile abuse from a member of the public it was his written reply | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
that was treated by police as harassment. He received what's known | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
as a police information notice, essentially a warning that his | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
response to the man may be investigated as criminal offence. It | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
was sanctioned by the head of the force who Mr Loughton said had | :12:17. | :12:26. | |
failed in his duties. The Chief Constable, who has been | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
copied into all these events, has been content to waste taxpayers' | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
resources on this nonsense. His force has been brought into | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
disrepute and he has lost the plot when it comes to distinguishing | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
between the victim and perpetrator. I know I own local officers, who | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
I've eat highly, are embarrassed by this action. | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
Sussex Police has robustly defended its actions. It said it attempted to | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
mediate between the politician and his constituent but to no avail. | :12:58. | :13:13. | |
Mr Loughton said the police action interfered with parliamentary | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
privilege, which gives politicians certain legal immunities. It's | :13:17. | :13:24. | |
denied this. But as the war of words between the MP, constituent and the | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
police continues, Parliament's Standards and Privileges Committee | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
will investigate whether any wrong was done. | :13:28. | :13:42. | |
Ford Open Prison in West Sussex has been criticised for being too soft | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
on inmates. It comes after management wrote to prisoners asking | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
their views on why they might want to escape and highlighting the risks | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
of drugs. The local MP says the prison needs to toughen up but | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
independent inspectors say the respectful way of treating prisoners | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
has improved conditions at the jail. Our Home Affairs Correspondent Alex | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
Forsyth joins me now. What's sparked all of this? | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
A national newspaper has reported that the management at Ford has | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
written these letters to prisoners. One, said to be from the Governor, | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
asking for their perceptions on why people abscond. Another, said to be | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
from the Security Chief about drugs, saying, we would like to take this | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
opportunity to alert offenders as to the obvious risks both to those | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
using and those who may be in vicinity whilst others are under the | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
influence. The Ministry of Justice hasn't disputed the fact these | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
letters were sent and the local MP says management should be taking a | :14:30. | :14:37. | |
tougher approach. That message in the letter needs to | :14:37. | :14:44. | |
be crystal clear. If you use drugs or alcohol, you lose your status as | :14:44. | :14:53. | |
a free prisoners. That is what they would expect from the governors. | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
What has the prison service said? The Ministry of Justice told us they | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
take the illicit use of drugs in prisons very seriously and offenders | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
are made aware that anyone caught with them will face punishment — | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
that applies to Ford. Almost three years ago there were riots at Ford | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
Open Prison. Part of the reason for those riots was said to bad | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
relationships between prisoners and staff. Much work has been done on | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
this and last year an inspection found things were vastly improved. | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
It found the number of people absconding is down, year on year. It | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
praised authorities for listening to prisoners' views and treating them | :15:28. | :15:40. | |
with respect. It is said that it is that very attitude which has | :15:40. | :15:50. | |
impacted the prison. The offenders are coming towards the | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
end of their sentence so they have to be given a certain degree of | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
freedom and they are always treated with a great deal of respect and | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
fairness. Ford was labelled a safe and decent | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
place in its last inspection so while some might want a harder line, | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
others say the management's attitude is working. | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
Hampshire Police are warning of the dangers of distraction driving after | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
catching nearly 200 drivers breaking the law in just five days. They've | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
released footage of a lorry driver brushing his teeth, people behind | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
the wheel on the phone and even one commuter applying her make—up, to | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
show some of the dangerous behaviour they're focusing their attentions | :16:24. | :16:36. | |
on. Duncan Kennedy reports. 60 miles an hour, a busy motorway | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
and this. Yes, he's brushing his teeth. Then there's this. Driving on | :16:41. | :16:49. | |
the outside lane, putting on her make up. | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
There's no end to what motorists get up to from reading and writing all | :16:54. | :17:04. | |
while driving. It was all captured by Hampshire and Thames Valley | :17:04. | :17:11. | |
Police to highlight the dangers of distracted driving. Many were caught | :17:11. | :17:18. | |
falling or texting and trying to hide it. The police prosecuted | :17:18. | :17:26. | |
hundreds of motorists in one week and 126 of those were using mobile | :17:26. | :17:33. | |
devices. This driver not only has a mobile phone in one hand, but a | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
cigarette in the other and here's driving using his knees. People | :17:38. | :17:47. | |
smile at these things because they think, how can you be so silly? | :17:47. | :17:55. | |
We should these to other motorists. That is crazy. That's incredible. I | :17:55. | :18:04. | |
just can't believe somebody would do that while they are driving. | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
This woman is putting on her make up. Is yet all the time. It doesn't | :18:09. | :18:18. | |
surprise me. But it is not just the police doing the doing —— videoing. | :18:18. | :18:31. | |
This man was later suspended by his company. A new survey today found | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
that 59% of drivers admit putting others at risk. While it's texting, | :18:37. | :18:45. | |
reading or brushing, it is driving police to distraction. | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
Cleaning your teeth while you're driving? It's extraordinary. I can't | :18:50. | :18:57. | |
believe it. We are going to start the sport with a bit of ceiling. —— | :18:57. | :19:20. | |
sailing. This week marks a year to go until | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
the start of one of sailing's iconic events — the Volvo Ocean Race. And | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
for the first time since 2001, the round—the—world challenge will | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
feature an all—female crew. Sam Davies from Hampshire leads that | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
11—strong team, who will spend the next year living and training in | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
Lanzarote. Tony Husband went to see their final preparations before they | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
left British shores today. We have to learn how to work | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
together as a team and get every last bit of speeds out of her. That | :19:45. | :19:52. | |
is going to be the key to winning. The race, formerly known as the | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
Whitbread, first started in 1983. This is the first all women crew for | :19:58. | :20:06. | |
many years. It brings back memories of Tracy Edwards and her crew in the | :20:06. | :20:13. | |
1980s. They were my heroes. They made some of us think it is possible | :20:13. | :20:20. | |
to do this. The next few months are crucial. | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
I have no idea what we're going to see it there. I've seen some of the | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
footage of massive seas and I am hoping that my team will help me. | :20:31. | :20:39. | |
The team are aboard their 65 foot yacht. They will have fun but the | :20:39. | :20:46. | |
challenge is to be ready for stage one in Alicante next October. | :20:46. | :20:54. | |
Beautiful skies as they sailed out. Another Wembley dream is still in | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
the offing for Portsmouth, as they progressed in the Johnstone's Paint | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
Trophy. But Oxford United were left to rue their stuttering home form | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
once more. Oxford had the best of the first hour at the Kassam | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
Stadium, before substitute Patrick Agyemang's excellent strike put | :21:07. | :21:17. | |
Pompey in front. Loan signing John Marquis then made the game safe with | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
seven minutes remaining. James Constable did pull a consolation | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
back late on for Oxford but their home form continues to be their | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
Achilles heel. Southampton Football Club have | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
received council approval to extend their training facilities. The club | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
have already been renovating their existing site at Marchwood but | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
Saints will now add a further six new pitches, as well as a dome and | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
extra parking provision. The new facility will predominantly be used | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
by Saints' youth and academy sections. | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
AFC Bournemouth have announced the death of their former long—serving | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
defender Laurie Cunningham. Laurie made 273 league appearances for the | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
Cherries in the 1940s and '50s and was an ever—present for four seasons | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
in that time. He passed away at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital, aged 91. | :21:58. | :22:05. | |
And an athlete from West Sussex has been handed a potential route to the | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
Winter Olympics in Sochi next year. Kelly Denyer from Worthing has been | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
named as a brakewoman in the GB Bobsleigh squad for the forthcoming | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
World Cup series. The 23—year—old will be looking to book one of the | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
qualification places for the Winter Olympics, which get underway in | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
February. There was no place though for Weymouth's Serita Shone, who has | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
battled back from fracturing her spine in 2011. | :22:25. | :22:35. | |
Now, if you're a fan of Downton Abbey, this one's for you. Dozens of | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
items have been discovered on a country estate in West Sussex. | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
The items from Parham House near Pulborough give a fascinating | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
insight into life there in the 1920s and '30s. | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
They go on display to the public this weekend but David Allard has | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
been given an exclusive preview. For nearly 400 years, Parham House | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
has been a witness to history. From a rumoured visit by Queen Elizabeth | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
I. To the wartime evacuees who found a home here. So you're never quite | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
sure what you'll find at the back of an old stable. | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
This is from the estate Fire Brigade. As an estate worker, like | :23:14. | :23:24. | |
myself as a gardener, we would have been required to be the first | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
responders to any fire. You can't help but get wrapped up in the | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
stories. These items date back to the 1920s | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
and '30s, when the estate was owned by Clive and Alicia Pearson. Their | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
great grand—daughter now lives here. My great grandparents never threw | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
anything away. Indeed, we keep finding things. It is great. One of | :23:42. | :23:50. | |
the most exciting things is this little bag which we found a couple | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
of weeks ago. Letters would come from London and this bag and the | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
station officer would probably chuck it out of the train to the Butler. | :24:01. | :24:12. | |
We do have a number of toys including this picture of my mum | :24:12. | :24:19. | |
pushing a toy elephant. It's pure Downton Abbey stuff but is | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
there still that class divide between upstairs and downstairs? | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
Not such a hierarchy. We all McCain now. Everybody does what needs to be | :24:28. | :24:47. | |
done. —— we all muck in. I love it. It is terribly moving. All the | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
artefacts go on display to the public this Sunday. | :24:52. | :25:01. | |
Worth a look, certainly. Once the weather. It is getting chilly. | :25:01. | :25:12. | |
Martin Offer captured this deer rut in Petworth Park in West Sussex. | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
Synchronised swimming in Gosport. This photo was taken by Maureen | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
Coles. And Judi Lion captured this scene at | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
Woolbeding Common near Midhurst. Today was noticeably colder than | :25:21. | :25:32. | |
yesterday and tomorrow it will be colder still. We may have a few | :25:32. | :25:40. | |
showers before that but they will disappear and the skies will clear. | :25:40. | :25:50. | |
And others clearing skies, temperatures will fall into low | :25:51. | :25:57. | |
single figures. A lovely start to the day for most of us tomorrow | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
morning. Low skies overhead. During the afternoon, time will start to | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
increase for eastern areas. There will be the chance of one or two | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
showers. The breeze will be noticeable. Quite strong from the | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
North, taking the edge of temperatures. It will rise to 13 | :26:15. | :26:27. | |
Celsius in places. There is the odd chance of a shower. During the early | :26:27. | :26:38. | |
hours of Friday morning, there will be scattered and patchy rain. A mild | :26:38. | :26:45. | |
night tomorrow night. Tomorrow, we will see a change. The wind will | :26:45. | :26:55. | |
come from the North then rain is expected to push in from the | :26:55. | :27:01. | |
south—east. The wet start to the day on Friday. A lovely start tomorrow. | :27:01. | :27:23. | |
West is best tomorrow. Freddie will C rain later in the day. And more | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
rain at the weekend. Tomorrow night, remember those | :27:27. | :27:35. | |
rhinos that we had in Southampton? They go up for auction and we will | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
be taking a look at that. Thanks for watching. Good night. | :27:40. | :27:44. |
