Typhoon as it heads towards Vietnam this

:00:00.:00:00.

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

:00:00.:00:00.

programme: Fighting to keep their jobs ` the

:00:00.:00:09.

spark of a campaign begins to keep shipbuilding at Portsmouth. We have

:00:10.:00:22.

940 direct jobs and up to 2,000 jobs that are directly affected. It

:00:23.:00:29.

is a huge blow to our region. Attempts by Thames water to charge

:00:30.:00:32.

an extra one`off payment to households is rejected. It is very

:00:33.:00:37.

high. I don't even look at the price any more it is what you have

:00:38.:00:41.

to pay. Not another brick in the wall ` the

:00:42.:00:44.

shortage that's holding up housebuilding.

:00:45.:00:46.

And sheep may safely graze, but have they gone too far in this

:00:47.:01:08.

churchyard? A rally to save shipbuilding jobs

:01:09.:01:22.

will be held in Portsmouth tomorrow. It's the first event planned in

:01:23.:01:25.

response to the loss of more than 1,000 jobs at BAE systems. This

:01:26.:01:28.

morning, union officials have been holding meetings to plan further

:01:29.:01:38.

action. The whole drive of the campaign is to impress on people

:01:39.:01:44.

the importance of the shipyard to Portsmouth's local economy and also

:01:45.:01:49.

to impress on people that it may be an easy way out to tried to get rid

:01:50.:01:56.

of 500 years of history, but more importantly, the next 150 years

:01:57.:02:02.

will be affected. The Trades Council is calling on the

:02:03.:02:08.

government to step in, possibly nationalise the shipyards. Five

:02:09.:02:13.

years ago, banks through reckless gambling were bailed out to the

:02:14.:02:18.

tune of billions of pounds. If ever there was a good case for the

:02:19.:02:24.

government intervening, this dockyard is one. The city is proud

:02:25.:02:28.

of its shipbuilding heritage, stretching back half a millennium.

:02:29.:02:34.

These newsreels capture some of the Battleships from the war years. The

:02:35.:02:40.

last complete warship was built in 1967, followed by a third tier

:02:41.:02:49.

pause. Now falls are turning to it apprenticeships, an issue that came

:02:50.:02:55.

up on last night's Question Time. David Cameron has pledged to make

:02:56.:02:59.

apprenticeships the norm for those school leavers who do not go to

:03:00.:03:04.

university. How will close in the shipyards in Portsmouth improve the

:03:05.:03:10.

prospects for young people? Despite a gloomy week of weather, there was

:03:11.:03:16.

one ray of sunshine today ` a promise of ?14 million worth of

:03:17.:03:19.

grants for companies in the shipbuilding supplied chain. We

:03:20.:03:32.

need some financial mitigation. There is a fund to help some of the

:03:33.:03:37.

supply chain restructure the business. But with up to 3,000 jobs

:03:38.:03:46.

jeopardised by these cuts, the ripple effect is expected to last

:03:47.:03:57.

for years. Coming up on Monday evening there's

:03:58.:04:01.

an Inside Out special. In Shipping Out, Robert Hall investigates the

:04:02.:04:03.

background to the decision to stop shipbuilding in Portsmouth, as the

:04:04.:04:06.

people most affected by the decision talk about their futures

:04:07.:04:08.

and their families. That's at 7.30pm on BBC One. That's followed

:04:09.:04:11.

at eight o'clock by a live debate from Portsmouth on BBC Radio Solent,

:04:12.:04:15.

asking whether the South has been sidelined in attempts to appease

:04:16.:04:18.

Scotland, or is the closure was an inevitable decision taken in the

:04:19.:04:20.

nation's interest? If you'd like to be in the audience for that radio

:04:21.:04:23.

debate, please email [email protected].

:04:24.:04:29.

Nearly 100 jobs will go at an insurance company in Hampshire.

:04:30.:04:32.

Zurich plans to restructure and move part of its operations in

:04:33.:04:37.

Whiteley to Cheltenham. This means that some people working in its

:04:38.:04:39.

claim handling departments will lose their job. The company say the

:04:40.:04:43.

changes are being made to keep operating costs low and are

:04:44.:04:46.

expected to take place in March next year.

:04:47.:04:50.

Households are feeling the squeeze ` energy costs keep going up and

:04:51.:04:53.

wages stubbornly are not following suit. The next planned hike for

:04:54.:04:59.

families looked like water bills, until today. The regulator Ofwat

:05:00.:05:13.

told Thames Water there was no justification for a one`off ?29

:05:14.:05:15.

increase in bills next year. Here's our Business Correspondent Alastair

:05:16.:05:19.

Fee. At a time when the cost of living keeps rising, today a ruling

:05:20.:05:23.

in favour of the consumer. Thames Water wants us to pay more for what

:05:24.:05:27.

comes out of the attack, but for now, that plan has dried up. On the

:05:28.:05:32.

high street customers say they are already paying too much. Very high.

:05:33.:05:37.

I don't even look at the price any more, it is just what you have to

:05:38.:05:42.

pay. If they put the water prices up, that is me done.

:05:43.:05:48.

The average Thames Water household bill is around ?354.

:05:49.:05:50.

The company wanted to add another ?29 ` an 8% rise.

:05:51.:05:53.

Ofwat says Thames costs have increased, but only by about ?7 per

:05:54.:05:55.

household. The regulator says no special price

:05:56.:05:58.

rise is justified as the Utility company is already allowed to put

:05:59.:06:01.

up bills next year by 1.4% above inflation. Thames came forward and

:06:02.:06:10.

they said, as they are entitled to, that there were cost pressures they

:06:11.:06:15.

felt over the five years that were not taken into account when prices

:06:16.:06:20.

were set. We have examined those prices carefully and we don't think

:06:21.:06:24.

there is enough evidence to justify a price increase for 10 so. Thames

:06:25.:06:32.

Water say the rise is necessary to pay for higher environmental agency

:06:33.:06:37.

charges and its bad debts, but it has failed to convince the water

:06:38.:06:41.

regulator how much these issues will cost. The company said it will

:06:42.:06:47.

review to their's decision before deciding on its next step. That

:06:48.:06:56.

could be an appeal, but until then, today's outcome is a rare victory.

:06:57.:07:02.

It may seem an unusual question, but is a shortage of bricks going

:07:03.:07:05.

to strangle the green shoots of recovery in construction? Some

:07:06.:07:08.

builders are having to wait five months for deliveries. During the

:07:09.:07:11.

recession a number of brick making kilns were closed down. Now house

:07:12.:07:13.

building is picking up again, demand is outstripping supply, as

:07:14.:07:16.

Tom Hepworth reports. This builder's merchant yard in`cell

:07:17.:07:18.

Panton is far from full. Most of the bricks are spoken for already.

:07:19.:07:23.

We as a company were literally out of blocks for part of August and

:07:24.:07:28.

September and imported from Belgium and Holland. The shortage has

:07:29.:07:33.

caused difficulties for this company building a respite centre

:07:34.:07:38.

for disabled children. We have been advised by our work surprise that

:07:39.:07:43.

delivery times cannot be guaranteed. So it is a frustration at times

:07:44.:07:50.

because it has a direct impact on resources at `` one side. Currently,

:07:51.:07:59.

planning permission is granted for around 180,000 houses per year. You

:08:00.:08:06.

need 18,000 bricks to build the average three`bedroom house. We

:08:07.:08:11.

would need to 0.5 billion bricks to build them. Production is short of

:08:12.:08:19.

that. Manufacturers are not keen to fire up mothballed factories. The

:08:20.:08:28.

last thing they need to do is use gas or electricity. One solution is

:08:29.:08:42.

prefabs. Inquiries are up by a quarter from builders. There is one

:08:43.:08:46.

factor that might allow manufacturers to catch up ` you

:08:47.:08:51.

can't make bricks in the rain. The idea of crowd`funding has taken

:08:52.:08:56.

the tech world by storm. Thousands of people paying a small amount of

:08:57.:09:00.

money to help create a new product. But in what's thought to be a

:09:01.:09:02.

British first, Portsmouth University is asking a researcher

:09:03.:09:05.

to use crowd`funding to generate their own salary. The University

:09:06.:09:11.

denies it's trying to get research done on the cheap, as our Political

:09:12.:09:29.

Editor Peter Henley now reports. With a new album, lots of fun, but

:09:30.:09:35.

not much money, this duo decided to try a new idea to fund their latest

:09:36.:09:42.

video. They turned to crowd`funding. I found pledging ?10 would get a

:09:43.:09:48.

copy of the DVD. For ?30, you can feature in the film. For ?100, one

:09:49.:09:55.

lucky fan got a private guitar lesson. The if you don't hit the

:09:56.:10:02.

mark, it will go back. It time we thought, this is amazing. Some

:10:03.:10:09.

people invested ?100. I want to get more people into the Greenwich

:10:10.:10:17.

sport of sailing. However this project has early had five backers.

:10:18.:10:25.

The idea of crowd`funding worries be established finance industry.

:10:26.:10:36.

The financial conduct authority is considering regulating crowd`

:10:37.:10:45.

funding. Whether regulation is necessary or whether this is just

:10:46.:10:49.

established lenders protecting their business is a question they

:10:50.:10:53.

are considering at Portsmouth University. There are so keen on

:10:54.:10:58.

the crowd`funding, they are recruiting an academic who will pay

:10:59.:11:02.

their own salary through contributions from the crowd.

:11:03.:11:07.

People are voting with their feet regarding the projects they want to

:11:08.:11:11.

support and don't. We want to understand a bit more about what it

:11:12.:11:16.

is about certain projects that does capture the imagination. This boat

:11:17.:11:24.

project might be one of their studies. The owner has five more

:11:25.:11:30.

days to hit his target. This tour is riding high and thinking about

:11:31.:11:35.

how they can get their crowd of fans involved in their music.

:11:36.:11:38.

And Peter will be back with Sunday Politics on Sunday at 12.25pm after

:11:39.:11:41.

the Cenotaph service. They'll be examining the Portsmouth

:11:42.:11:43.

shipbuilding closure and the issue of care homes.

:11:44.:11:57.

Still to come in this evening's South Today:

:11:58.:11:58.

Preparations for tonight's concert that pays tribute to those who

:11:59.:12:01.

fought in past and present conflicts.

:12:02.:12:04.

Relatives of people buried in a Berkshire churchyard say the

:12:05.:12:07.

decision to use sheep to control the grass and plants is an act of

:12:08.:12:11.

vandalism. Floral tributes have been eaten by the animals with urns

:12:12.:12:14.

and graves damaged as they've foraged for food. But the Church

:12:15.:12:19.

authorities say all they've done is return to a traditional way of

:12:20.:12:23.

caring for the site in the face of rising maintenance bills.

:12:24.:12:31.

The idea of the Lord as the good shepherd may be a familiar one to

:12:32.:12:42.

Christians. It is disrespectful. But the relatives of those buried

:12:43.:12:45.

in this Berkshire church yard never imagined their loved ones would

:12:46.:12:47.

share their final resting place with a rather more literal flock. I

:12:48.:12:52.

was really upset. It bought a lump to my applied. Behind the I have to

:12:53.:12:57.

answer, two uncles and a cousin and the sheep are just wandering all

:12:58.:13:03.

over their graves. The sheep arrived at the behest of the

:13:04.:13:13.

recently retired vicar. In the past a contractor has been employed to

:13:14.:13:17.

keep the grass under control, but there are no funds available. Using

:13:18.:13:30.

the animals, they say, harks back to the past when often sheep might

:13:31.:13:38.

safely graze in churchyards. It was banned of traditional way when it

:13:39.:13:43.

was just a mound of earth and not when people spend a lot of money on

:13:44.:13:46.

gravestones and people still come here to visit. The mess made by the

:13:47.:13:53.

sheep is terrible. Today, some of the sheep were being moved out and

:13:54.:13:57.

the damage they've caused made good. Repairing relationships between the

:13:58.:13:59.

church and local families may be a rather harder task.

:14:00.:14:22.

Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino has been named Premier

:14:23.:14:25.

League Manager of the Month for October. The Argentinian steered

:14:26.:14:28.

Saints to two home wins and a draw at Manchester United during the

:14:29.:14:31.

month and his side moved as high as third in the table on some match

:14:32.:14:34.

days. Saints host Hull City tomorrow at St Mary's, hoping to

:14:35.:14:37.

extend their unbeaten league run to eight games.

:14:38.:14:44.

For many of the region's clubs tomorrow is FA cup first round day.

:14:45.:14:51.

For Portsmouth manager Guy Whittingham it's also a year since

:14:52.:14:54.

he became boss. He's seen the club come out of administration and he's

:14:55.:14:57.

overseeing a steady and cautious rebuilding project under community

:14:58.:14:59.

ownership. I've been to Fratton Park for a chat with him. He put a

:15:00.:15:10.

smile on the faces of Pompey fans 20 years ago and now he is doing it

:15:11.:15:15.

again. It has been a year of change will Guy Whittingham. Massively.

:15:16.:15:19.

With everything that has happened with the club, from being at the

:15:20.:15:27.

lowest point in its history to now coming through to a point where

:15:28.:15:31.

we've got great support, the fans have rallied around us. Not only on

:15:32.:15:37.

the pitch, but ours to still be here, that is a massive achievement.

:15:38.:15:42.

Management inevitably changes someone as well. It is impossible

:15:43.:15:54.

to keep everyone happy. You have to get people to do things you don't

:15:55.:15:57.

want them to do and you have to crack the whip. The City of

:15:58.:16:02.

Portsmouth has had a grim week with job losses in store at the dockyard.

:16:03.:16:08.

It has not gone unnoticed at Fratton Park. There will be support

:16:09.:16:12.

from ours. We want to make sure that the people that have supported

:16:13.:16:18.

us, we support them. People really do rallied round in hard times.

:16:19.:16:24.

Pompey go to Stevenage tomorrow in the FA Cup first round with a six`

:16:25.:16:32.

game unbeaten run behind them. Where ever they try and do, we will

:16:33.:16:37.

be ready for them. The cup has bought some special days and some

:16:38.:16:45.

of those special moments will be sacrificed for long`term stability.

:16:46.:16:48.

It's a big weekend for non league Brackley Town who play in

:16:49.:16:50.

Conference North. They travel to Gillingham tomorrow. It may not be

:16:51.:16:54.

the first time the club have reached round one, but the Gills

:16:55.:16:57.

are the first league side to play them in a competitive match.

:16:58.:16:59.

Salisbury will have hopes of reaching the second round when they

:17:00.:17:02.

host Dartford. Oxford have an home tie, too, along with MK Dons.

:17:03.:17:05.

Two big games in the Championship tomorrow as well. Reading in fifth

:17:06.:17:09.

host Harry Redknapp's QPR who are third. Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe

:17:10.:17:12.

returns to Burnley for the first time since leaving the club to

:17:13.:17:15.

return to the south coast. London Irish are at Newcastle in

:17:16.:17:19.

rugby's LV Cup this weekend. Meanwhile, you may remember we

:17:20.:17:22.

featured the Ball Kids who were being trained in Hampshire for this

:17:23.:17:26.

week's ATP finals in London. Well, they've been hard at work looking

:17:27.:17:29.

after the world's top tennis players on court at the O2. Here's

:17:30.:17:33.

just one of them, India Taylor, who we featured on the programme last

:17:34.:17:50.

month. It's not always a glamourous job.

:17:51.:17:54.

This time next week it will be Children in Need night. South Today

:17:55.:17:57.

will be live from the national motor museum at Beaulieu. This year

:17:58.:18:01.

we have a special theme, James Bond, and I'll have a special presenter

:18:02.:18:04.

for the night to work with. Yes, its Samantha Bond who played

:18:05.:18:06.

Miss Moneypenny in the Pierce Brosnan films. Earlier I caught up

:18:07.:18:13.

with Sam to have a chat about her film career. I began by asking her

:18:14.:18:21.

about her connections to the south. My second job was at the Nuffield

:18:22.:18:26.

Theatre in Southampton and I was there for eight months and did nine

:18:27.:18:30.

plays. I finished that in the summer and the BBC gave me my first

:18:31.:18:35.

television role, which was Maria in Mansfield Park. We shop that in the

:18:36.:18:40.

New Forest. The following summer the BBC cast me in the first ever

:18:41.:18:46.

Miss Marple, which was shot in the New Forest. I thought that what the

:18:47.:18:50.

BBC were going to do. I thought, this is great been an actress. You

:18:51.:18:55.

go to the New Forest for three months in the summer. When it

:18:56.:18:59.

didn't happen, I thought what have I done wrong. The Bond films, they

:19:00.:19:13.

are tiny part in my career `` tiny parts in my career. This behaviour

:19:14.:19:19.

could qualify as sexual harassment. Sunday you will have to make good

:19:20.:19:24.

on your innuendos. You do have a lot of fun and there was a lot of

:19:25.:19:33.

partying that goes with it. What about Danton? It is colossal. I

:19:34.:19:39.

didn't come in until the last episode of the first series. By the

:19:40.:19:47.

time he `` by the time I started shooting, you could feel it. He

:19:48.:19:51.

walked onto the set and you thought, this is a hit. It had a quiet glow

:19:52.:19:59.

about it. You and I can go away on an extended trip somewhere. The

:20:00.:20:05.

baby can be adopted by a childless couple and they are made very happy

:20:06.:20:11.

and the baby is happy, and you are... Well, if not happy, at least

:20:12.:20:18.

free. And the other hit his Outnumbered. That adults try to

:20:19.:20:22.

follow a script and the children make it up as they go along. Is it

:20:23.:20:28.

scary to do that? It was terrifying at the beginning. The little girl

:20:29.:20:33.

was the frightening one. She would come out with things that was so

:20:34.:20:38.

left`field that you couldn't think of anything to say back. Have you

:20:39.:20:45.

ever been a bridesmaid? A couple of times. But never bride? I haven't.

:20:46.:20:55.

Why? I wasn't as lucky as your mummy. I didn't want to say yes to

:20:56.:21:01.

the first man who asked me. When you were money penny, you kissed

:21:02.:21:06.

the James Bond. Or was it like, just between us? It was absolutely

:21:07.:21:20.

lovely!. It took about four`and`a` half hours.

:21:21.:21:41.

On Sunday the nation will once again pay tribute to those who have

:21:42.:21:44.

fallen in past and current conflicts but there will also be

:21:45.:21:47.

acts of remembrance away from the war memorials themselves. Tonight

:21:48.:21:50.

sees the return of the Hampshire Festival of Remembrance which aims

:21:51.:21:53.

to mirror the national event at the Albert Hall. Let's cross to Alexis

:21:54.:21:55.

Green, who is outside Southampton Guildhall. Rehearsals have been

:21:56.:21:58.

ongoing all afternoon. The event starts in around 45 minutes' time.

:21:59.:22:04.

There is a 120 strong choir, military bands will be performing

:22:05.:22:10.

as well. The man directing them joins me now. This festival has not

:22:11.:22:16.

been in Southampton for a while. It has been seven years and we are

:22:17.:22:20.

delighted to be involved in its resurrection. How is it similar to

:22:21.:22:26.

the event at the Albert Hall? We have a band and choir on stage and

:22:27.:22:31.

the event is centred around a concert of commemoration. In ``

:22:32.:22:44.

there was also a service of remembrance. I look after 12 bands

:22:45.:22:50.

and we have bought some of them together to form a band of around

:22:51.:22:56.

60 to perform one cheque `` on stage. There will be military music

:22:57.:23:02.

and we also have the Southampton Philharmonic Choir. Thank you. Well,

:23:03.:23:16.

the seeds are starting to fill up in the Guild Hall. There are 1,000

:23:17.:23:20.

seats that have nearly sold out. If you miss the event, you can tune

:23:21.:23:26.

into BBC Radio Solent for a highlight show. Talking of whether,

:23:27.:23:34.

if you are out and about it is looking pretty good. This weather

:23:35.:23:40.

front brought torrential downpours throughout the course of the

:23:41.:23:43.

morning and in the afternoon. We did have some thunder in that rain,

:23:44.:23:49.

but tonight we will see it move towards the North Sea and

:23:50.:23:52.

temperatures will fall into single figures. We are looking at lows of

:23:53.:23:58.

between four and eight Celsius. A cold start and the risk of frost.

:23:59.:24:03.
