colder. It could be short lived. That is all from the BBC's News | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
I am just checking whether the problem is with dragon. It Hello. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme. | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
Temporary sites for travellers in Poole but will it stop illegal | :00:15. | :00:22. | |
camps? The council decides tonight. Although I am against the travellers | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
being in the area, they need to Questions over whether Mike Hancock | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
can stand as a candidate at the next general election. | :00:29. | :00:29. | |
Be somewhere. Further frustration for businesses | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
and travellers as work on a bridge over the Thames is delayed. And on | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
the buses with the artist who has a ticket to ride for the sake of art. | :00:38. | :00:50. | |
It is very unusual. I quite like it. I am trying something out. | :00:51. | :01:03. | |
An emergency council meeting is under way in Poole this evening to | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
try to resolve an issue which challenges local authorities and | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
landowners across the region ` illegal travellers encampments. | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
Poole doesn't have any official transit camps, making it harder to | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
move`on trespassing caravans. So it's looking at setting up what it | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
calls temporary stopping places but there's been an angry reaction | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
around the two suggested sites. David Allard reports. August, 2013. | :01:26. | :01:38. | |
An illegal travellers camp. They stayed for days. The police could | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
not move them on because there is no alternative transit site in the | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
borough to move them to. This waste ground could be a short`term | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
solution. A temporary stopping place for the summer. It means police | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
could move the legal campers here within 24 hours. What is better? To | :01:59. | :02:08. | |
have our request `` to have our recreation grounds and sports were | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
to lose is used instead? The majority of residents will want this | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
to go ahead. Most residents are not in favour. They have to put extra | :02:18. | :02:28. | |
security on. It is marshland. Although I am against the travellers | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
being in the area, they do need to be somewhere. Is it right to put | :02:32. | :02:40. | |
them in a place that is not healthy? A local councillor agrees. She is | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
concerned about the effect on businesses. If the temporary | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
stopping place does go ahead, they will put up security fencing. | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
Businesses with very high`tech, expensive equipment. They have | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
concerns. This is the other side being proposed. It is next to two | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
major routes. There is a registered to substation. There is also a | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
retail park. Most councillors are expected to back these two sites. | :03:10. | :03:20. | |
They say it is not just NIMBYism. If nothing is done, it could be very | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
serious. People could take the law into their own hands. That is not | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
acceptable. That meeting is underway right now. Dozens of members of the | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
public are here to hear that debate. Like other authorities, Poole has a | :03:35. | :03:48. | |
duty towards travellers. The cost of turning those sites into suitable | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
temporary stopping places, ?175,000. Compare that to the ?30,000 spent | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
last year. There is a public consultation. That is when residents | :04:04. | :04:16. | |
have their say. From what we hear today, they are not going to take it | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
lying down. Liberal Democrats imports Portsmouth | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
have begun the process of choosing a candidate to be Nick Clegg suspended | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
Mike Hancock's membership last week, saying he was appalled by the | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
results of an enquiry into alleged inappropriate behaviour. Mr | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
Hancock's colleagues have been split as to whether to back him. | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
Where do things stand? There are some totally opposite opinions. Some | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
people are saying this is trial by media and Mike Hancock should be | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
able to defend himself. Others feel that local people should put as much | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
distance as possible from the MP. He is officially still a Cabinet | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
member. Fellow councillors voted to support that on Friday. The process | :05:00. | :05:10. | |
is going forward of selecting new candidates, and that Mike Hancock is | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
not eligible to take part in the new selection. It was a narrow choice, | :05:16. | :05:31. | |
ten councillors for and ten against. Jackie Hancock voted to | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
support him. The most senior female councillor resigned in protest. She | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
talked about what she called an unacceptable culture, especially | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
towards women. I think Nick Clegg's stands need some serious looking | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
at. He did know about the seriousness of the situation. I went | :05:55. | :06:04. | |
to party headquarters in June, and I met with the chief executive of the | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
Liberal Democrat party. I told them a fair bit about my feelings on the | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
unacceptable culture. Strong words. Any response from the Lib Dems | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
naturally? Not yet. She is urging Nick Clegg to intervene. Meanwhile, | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
Mike Hancock is disputing that he has been deselected. Peter, thank | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
you. Southern Water has issued a public apology after sewage and dead | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
rats were washed up on the south coast. The waste has been discharged | :06:38. | :06:46. | |
from an outfall pipe in Portsmouth ` after heavy rain and ground water | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
inundated the sewage system. ?30 million is being spent on fixing the | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
problem ` but work won't be finished until the end of the year. Steve | :06:54. | :07:04. | |
Humphrey reports. A loss of sewage waste has been | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
washed up here at Langstone Harbour over recent weeks because Southern | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
Water's sewerage system has not coped with the amount of rainfall we | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
have had. ? We have seen female sanitary products, hypodermic | :07:15. | :07:31. | |
syringes, here but, unsightly waste. The last thing we want is for them | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
to stay away. Southern waters of the problems have been caused by heavy | :07:38. | :07:47. | |
rain. The problems are that there was a storm a few years ago but | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
destroyed installation. We are in complete rebuilding process. We have | :07:55. | :08:02. | |
been overtaken by the weather. ?10 million has been spent at Fort | :08:03. | :08:13. | |
Cumberland. Clearing up the mess off the beach has taken a huge amount of | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
effort over recent weeks. Everybody here is looking forward to the day | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
when that new sewage system is brought into operation. | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
There's anger over major delays to the reopening of a busy road bridge | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
across the River Thames in Berkshire. Whitchurch Bridge in | :08:33. | :08:45. | |
Pangbourne is being completely rebuilt, but the project has been | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
dogged by delays during demolition and now, dangerously high river | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
levels. It was supposed to reopen in April. But, as Nikki Mitchell | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
reports, it's now unlikely to be back in use until July at the | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
earliest. Work to rebuild this once to a halt before Christmas. The | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
schedule is now three months behind. It is disappointing, because it is a | :09:08. | :09:15. | |
ten mile round trip extra. Getting around can be a nightmare and we are | :09:16. | :09:24. | |
spending more money on fuel. It has a big impact. Local businesses are | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
suffering. Another three months is not what they want to hear. | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
Customers are annoyed. It has hit trade quite hard, especially the | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
food outlets. We are very frustrated and disappointed. The flows are | :09:39. | :09:50. | |
still very high. We cannot go on the river. The bridge company had local | :09:51. | :09:58. | |
people wanted the project done by the summer months. The Environment | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
Agency said no because it would have been to disruptive for boaters. | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
Contractors say they are confident they will get the vertical columns | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
in the riverbed by the end of March, so this sector of the river can be | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
opened to boaters as planned before Easter. Drivers, though, will have | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
to wait until July. There has been plenty of stormy | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
weather this winter, but so far, we have avoided snow and ice. But when | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
two workers from a major Hampshire employer approached the BBC | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
complaining that they'd been paid less than the minimum wage and were | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
working in unsafe conditions Inside Out began to investigate. You can | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
see the story tonight at 7.30pm on BBC One. A little earlier the show's | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
presenter, Jon Cuthill, told me more about the company involved. These | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
two men had been working for a company called nationwide gritting | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
services, and it runs a huge stockpile of salt in Southampton. It | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
is so big you can see it from the main road as you drive past. The | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
workers complained they had been paid less than the minimum wage and | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
there has been working in unsafe conditions. Just to make it clear, | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
they worked for NGS until February last year. They were so concerned, | :11:18. | :11:25. | |
they said they used a mobile phone to video footage of equipment they | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
say regularly gave them electric shocks, of wires dripping with water | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
and poor conditions. They also said they were working 12 hour shifts | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
with just a half`hour unpaid break, including Christmas Day and Boxing | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
Day. And that they worked 14 days in a row before having a day off. What | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
does the company say about the allegations? We have not spoken to | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
them directly. They referred as to their legal team. Their lawyers say | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
they deny the allegations, which they put down to disgruntled former | :12:02. | :12:09. | |
employees. They pointed out the HSC has visited the site and are happy | :12:10. | :12:19. | |
with conditions `` HSE. We have been unable to verify this. What about | :12:20. | :12:27. | |
pay? An employment tribunal case was settled out of court by the company. | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
They paid each of the men more than ?3000 with no addition of liability. | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
The reason the company did it, it says, is for commercial reasons. It | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
says it is down to money and it is cheaper to make that settlement. | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
And you can see the full story on tonight's Inside Out starting in | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
about 45 minutes here on BBC One. Still to come in this evening's | :12:52. | :13:04. | |
South Today: battered by a tornado. That is what residents believe they | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
witnessed. The Government calls small | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
businesses the lifeblood of the economy. At a major conference today | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
the Prime Minister was keen to show off what he's doing to help them | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
grow. While the political focus has been about reducing red tape ` it's | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
a more familiar problem that still seems to be holding back firms here | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
in the South ` access to finance. Alastair Fee reports. Five Digital | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
has been around for about two years. Their livelihood readily growing. | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
The battle for businesses like them is underway. We focus quite strongly | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
on new businesses, and entrepreneurs. Over the last 12 | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
months, that has definitely changed and has been improving. In London | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
today, the Prime Minister took centre stage at the National | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
conference of the Federation of Small Businesses. The message, | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
nicking things easier by cutting red tape. `` making things easier. | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
Legislation is unbelievably own arrest. You almost would not employ | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
people, you would use contractors. Very difficult for businesses of | :14:15. | :14:25. | |
below ten people to engage. 18 months ago, we caught up with Colin, | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
an ex`banker who now advises new firms. The big issue was access to | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
finance. As I improved? Lott will not go to the banks. They will try | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
to get it from friends, family and other people. They feel they will | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
get rejected do things are not comfortable with doing. The last | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
budget contained a number of measures aimed at small firms. There | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
was a ?300 million investment scheme to boost lending small businesses. | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
They were given ?2000 cut in employers national contributions, | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
and by Kevin as, benefited from the cancellation of the fuel duty rise | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
in 2013. Removing the so`called barriers to growth is exactly what | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
our Bournemouth `based production company needs. The announcement are | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
welcome. I don't think it goes far enough, it is on the periphery. | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
Small companies like is really need funding and proper funding. They | :15:24. | :15:34. | |
employ three, and plan to take on more staff if the climate continues | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
to improve. The message still hasn't changed. Free up money. | :15:43. | :15:50. | |
On to sport an hour. Transfer window, end of the week? | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
Yes. I think we will have a lot of gossip. Primarily about Southampton. | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
Keep an eye on Redding and Bournemouth as well. As it gets | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
closer to the wire, it is more exciting. | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
Mauricio Pochetinno says he's not expecting Luke Shaw to go anywhere | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
in the final days of the transfer window Pochettino reiterated Saints | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
desire to keep their star players at the club during today's press | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
conference ahead of their Premier League clash against Arsenal | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
tomorrow night. He also refused to be drawn on Dani Osvaldo's future | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
with the striker currently suspended following a training ground fight | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
last week. But has he had an offer for Shaw? I focus on the match. When | :16:30. | :16:48. | |
it happens, if it happens, I will be informed. Meanwhile Saints beat | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
Yeovil at St Mary's to book their place in round five of the FA Cup. A | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
first half penalty was converted by Guly do Prado, his first goal for | :16:56. | :17:02. | |
more than two years. Yeovil refused to lie down, and Saints had to wait | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
until the 69th minute to seal victory thanks to a first senior | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
goal from Sam Gallagher. Confirmation then Southampton will | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
play at Sunderland` their third visit to the stadium of light this | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
season on the weekend of the 15th and 16th February. They've already | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
lost there in the league cup and drawn in the league. Brighton are at | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
home to Hull. Brendan Rodgers paid tribute to Eddie Howe and his | :17:23. | :17:24. | |
Bournemouth side after Liverpool's victory at Dean Court. A sell`out | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
crowd saw the likes of Luis Suarez in action. There was a rare glimpse | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
too of Cherries owner Max Demin the man whose investment has helped turn | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
the club around. Liverpool scored a goal in each half, Victor Moses's | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
effort which beating Lee Camp at the near post. Then Daniel Sturridge | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
finishing well in the second half to end any hope of an upset. While are | :17:49. | :17:56. | |
very good and I would give credit to them. It is not easy when you are a | :17:57. | :18:08. | |
manager, sticking your head out, but he certainly does that. They were | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
excellent. There was Football League action this weekend too, Kris | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
Temple's round`up starts after this town crier at Portman Road has | :18:19. | :18:31. | |
finished. This fan will have gone home happy. It took into the second | :18:32. | :18:39. | |
half for Ipswich to go in front. Redding had penalty appeals on the | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
day and saw efforts go high and wide. They are still sixth in the | :18:46. | :18:54. | |
table. Swindon lead against Shrewsbury. The goal of the game | :18:55. | :19:06. | |
came from the visitors. Two late goals gave Swindon all three points. | :19:07. | :19:19. | |
Portsmouth were left to rue a goalkeeping clanger. The scores were | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
level, but then a second was grabbed. Trevor Carson let this | :19:26. | :19:35. | |
effort slip through his fingers. Basingstoke Bison are still in the | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
race for ice hockey's Premier League title they beat Sheffield Steeldogs | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
6`5 on Saturday night. The Bison stormed into a four goal lead, | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
Thomas Karpov and Ciaron Long among the goals. The visitors threatened a | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
comeback and got to within one goal of the bison before, Joe Rand made | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
it 6`3. A late fightback didn't prevent a Bison win, they're second | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
in the table, Guildford lost to Telford and are third. Reading | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
Rockets basketball team are celebrating after national success | :20:02. | :20:03. | |
this weekend. The Rockets beat Newnham Neptunes by 93 points to 72 | :20:04. | :20:05. | |
in Worcester yesterday. If you've travelled anywhere by bus, | :20:06. | :20:20. | |
you've probably found yourself gazing blankly out of the window. As | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
the landscape passes by, you might not concentrate on that changing | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
view. Not so for an artist in Bournemouth, who's been commissioned | :20:28. | :20:29. | |
to record her journeys with pencil drawings. But this is conceptual | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
art, which not everyone may immediately warm to. James Ingham | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
has been to meet the artist at work. Boarding a bus not for anywhere in | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
particular, but simply to enjoy the journey. Denise Poote is recording | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
her view of a dozen routes around Bournemouth in a rather unusual way. | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
Armed with just a pencil and paper, she's turning the trip into art. I | :20:50. | :20:59. | |
draw whatever catches my eye as I go past. Part of the trees become part | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
of the buildings and vice versa. It is a physical response of my hand on | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
the paper. For someone who gets travel sick, | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
this seems an unusual choice of studio, but it's that unpleasant | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
feeling that first inspired her. You are looking out of the window into | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
the distance when I am a passenger made me observe things I thought I | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
could begin to capture without looking at the paper. I will end up | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
with a record of those things, and I wanted to do locally. | :21:35. | :21:36. | |
Bournemouth's Yellow Buses commissioned this work ` so do their | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
regular passengers like it? Very interesting. Yes. Does it make any | :21:43. | :21:49. | |
sense to you? I am trying to figure it out. No, not really. Sorry. What | :21:50. | :21:57. | |
do you like it? It draws attention. It makes you want to find out what | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
it could be. At a different things to all sorts of people. That is the | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
beauty of this. There are all sorts of different styles out there. So, | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
just looking now, what you make of it? There is a bit of Christchurch | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
Priory somewhere in there. There is no way you could have predicted how | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
it would come out before. That is right. It belongs to the journey, | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
really. I am just making marks of a particular set of circumstances. | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
Love it or hate it, this is a view from a bus you've probably never | :22:34. | :22:41. | |
seen before. Fascinating. More bad weather over the weekend, | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
and on Saturday there were reports of a mini tornado over parts of | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
Hampshire and West Sussex. Alexis will be here in a moment to give us | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
her take on that. Roofs were ripped off garden sheds and trees felled | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
across roads and train tracks. Although there were no reports of | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
any serious injuries, some had a lucky escape, as Chris Robinson | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
reports. Nestled in this tree is part of the roof of Christina's | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
garden shed. On Saturday afternoon, she watched a strong winds ripped it | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
apart. Homes were battered across part of the South. Her prize vintage | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
car survived with barely a scratch on it. There is debris everywhere. | :23:21. | :23:29. | |
Luckily, none of the horses were hurt. I am from Michu can. The | :23:30. | :23:37. | |
midwest is quite tornado prone. I really do think this was a mini | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
tornado. Nothing drastic like we get in the state. It looks quite | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
familiar. This was the scene outside and over the leisure centre. A | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
mother and her children had been sheltering under this tree when it | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
came down on top of them. They escaped with just minor injuries. | :23:56. | :24:03. | |
South West Trains reported some trains blocking part of a network. | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
The driver was treated for shock when his car was trapped between | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
branches. A massive branch was ripped off a tree here, crushing a | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
roof. Chris Robinson. Was at a tornado? The Met Office | :24:16. | :24:37. | |
cannot confirm because they do not have the evidence. They've is an | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
organisation looking into it. They always send someone to have a look. | :24:42. | :24:49. | |
A tornado gives a clearly defined damaged track. | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
There was quite a track for that. You never know. | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
Moody skies but a splash of colour in Mudeford in Dorset captured by | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
Alan Smith. George Andrews took this photo of Portsmouth from East | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
Wittering this morning. And Stephen Michelle captured a Great Egret | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
which is in temporary residence at Blashford Lakes near Ringwood. We | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
did see some sunshine today but tonight, the risk of further heavy | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
rain. The Met Office have a yellow warning in place. This week, we are | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
looking at blustery showers. It will turn slightly colder, and maybe | :25:23. | :25:31. | |
introduce Frost and ice on untreated surfaces. Through tonight, we will | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
see the rain showers, they will merge into longer spells of rain at | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
times. Quite heavy in a few places. Perhaps some hair and thunder. | :25:42. | :25:50. | |
Potentially, we could see up to an inch of rain. Lows tonight of four, | :25:51. | :26:04. | |
five Celsius. Frost free and ice free, but the winds are blustery. | :26:05. | :26:17. | |
Ltd brightness. If you catch sunshine, you will be very lucky. | :26:18. | :26:25. | |
Temperatures up to around eight Celsius. Showers will continue | :26:26. | :26:33. | |
tomorrow. They will not be as heavy. More unwelcome rain. Temperatures | :26:34. | :26:42. | |
similar to tonight. It will be a wet start to the day we are looking at a | :26:43. | :27:01. | |
slowly dying out scenario. There is the risk we could have some snow | :27:02. | :27:09. | |
showers through Thursday. The Met Office do have a warning for rain | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
for tonight and tomorrow. Thank you. That is it from us. | :27:14. | :27:18. |
