Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. Tonight, we have made

mistakes. The army admits to serious problems in its drive to recruit

thousands more reservists. We have made the application forms simpler

and easier to process, and we have speeded it up, so I believe we have

put that right. There was a problem beforehand but I think we h`ve

solved it. In fear of losing his home, he hit his 90`year`old mother

going to be increasingly important. In Cyprus, troops from the 3rd

Battalion, Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment saving in the Unitdd

Nations peacekeeping force. There has always been the stigma that the

reservists get, but I think it has opened up the regular soldidrs'

eyes. The reservists bring their professional experience frol

civilian performance, and that gives us a range of maturity and

knowledge. Millions of pounds has been invested

difficult to recruit. Do yot think there is confusion, mixed mdssages

to the man and woman in the street? On the one hand, cuts in thd numbers

of the Army and yet they ard recruiting. Yes. The real problem is

budgets. I feel sorry for the head of the Army, trying to work out what

to do. Recruiting is a way of getting soldiers in at a tile when

actually it is very expensive to have regular soldiers, so they are

looking for territorial soldiers. Another big problem is that

equipment is immensely expensive. To keep up with the Americans, for

instance, you have to refunds. On one occasion, she said

her and her husband worked `s counterterrorism officers at Gatwick

in order to get a discount on a holiday. She was sacked frol the

police when this emerged and later convicted in court. The overwhelming

majority of officers and st`ff that police this county have the highest

levels of honesty and integrity and nothing disappoints us more than

when one of our staff fails to uphold those standards. When we find

breaches, we will take action. In this case, the officer went through

a fast track disciplinary process and left organisation. We ptrsued a

heard Philipe Brough had panicked, fearing he would have to move out of

the council flat. The court heard the 54`year`old had also cl`imed

more than ?5,000 in benefits, failing to disclose his mother had

died. The judge said he accdpted Brough, who suffers from depression,

had acted out on emotional hnability to cope, but that is behaviour was

inexcusable. Brough was sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended

for 12 months. The

aeroplanes a lot nearer. ?1000 a year won't help? Not at all. What

will that do? They are not going to put new windows in to stop the

noise. The money would go to council taxpayers in areas likely to have

noise levels up to 57 decibdl is, equating to standing next to a

washing machine on spin cycle. We are reacting to questions from local

authorities and people who want to understand how we could minhmise the

impact of a second runway. We see compensation is one part. In

childhood, campaigners have campaigned against airport noise.

They are outside the compensation area.

who would lie under a second runway, should it be built. It arguds that

the noise at Gatwick will affect fewer than at Heathrow. What about

the new report talking about runway costs? It comes from lobby group the

Gatwick area conservation c`mpaign. One core argument is that a new

runway there would cost less than at Heathrow, but this report stggests

the financial burden at Gatwick would fall on a smaller nond of

passengers, so each person would end up paying more. It says, at

Gatwick, debate's ?8 per passenger of airport charges would rise to ?33

60, roughly ?50 on Second World War. They gave their

lives for this country, for our freedom. That is why it's ilportant

and we should celebrate thel. Portsmouth's Guildhall Square was

filled with schoolchildren `nd representatives from the Arled

Forces, Who proudly showed the flags of the 53 member states with a

combined population of more than two billion people. But, away from

today's celebrations, not m`ny people had heard of Commonwdalth

Day. Commonwealth, yes, but I didn't know there was a special dax. People

should know about it but obviously we don't know enough. It's not well

advertised. No, I don't know nothing about the Commonwealth. I'm not

really that bothered about ht. But there

unity is still strong, and the Commonwealth has

there. We fully deserved thd points. Southampton were victorious in the

Premier league, but what about the football league?

Redding moved back into the championship play`off places. Albion

played most of the second h`lf against ten men. Gordon Brax sent

off. Redding couldn't make the most of their one`man advantage. Former

one`man this was his first goal for the club. With play`off riv`ls

Nottingham Forest and Derby both losing, this result could bd seen as

a missed opportunity in the race for a top six finish. Bournemouth took

another step Williams.

Here is the team celebrating after the game. They have been dr`wn

between Sadie and the other babies is normally it is a two fingered
