building society. That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye

:00:00.:00:00.

Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to from

:00:00.:00:07.

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

:00:08.:00:10.

Accused of going to Syria to train as a terrorist ` a former youth

:00:11.:00:13.

worker from Portsmouth goes on trial.

:00:14.:00:16.

Killed with a single punch ` appeal court judges refuse to increase a

:00:17.:00:33.

four year jail term. We're sorry ` a council apologises

:00:34.:00:36.

after a computer error sends thousands of voters' names and

:00:37.:00:46.

addresses to a marketing agency. And the canine alarm system putting

:00:47.:00:49.

people in touch with the emergency services.

:00:50.:00:56.

We know that if Trish doesn't reply, it is probably Barkley who has run

:00:57.:00:58.

the alarm. He was killed by just one punch `

:00:59.:01:19.

today the man who threw it heard his four`year prison sentence would NOT

:01:20.:01:22.

be increased. Lewis Gill, who's from South London, had pleaded guilty to

:01:23.:01:26.

the manslaughter of Andrew Young in Bournemouth last November. Mr

:01:27.:01:28.

Young's mother had described the original sentence as a 'joke', but

:01:29.:01:32.

this morning judges at the Court of Appeal decided it wasn't too

:01:33.:01:34.

lenient. Ed Sherry reports. Walking along Charminster high

:01:35.:01:37.

street, Andrew Young challenges a cyclist for riding on the pavement.

:01:38.:01:40.

A decision that would ultimately lead to his death. A minute later

:01:41.:01:44.

Lewis Gill in a hat and grey top joins in, Gill walks around and

:01:45.:01:47.

lunges at him with a ferocious punch that's too horrific to show. Andrew

:01:48.:01:51.

died in hospital the next day and in February, Gill was sentenced to four

:01:52.:01:55.

years for his manslaughter. Andrew's mother Pamela called that a joke.

:01:56.:02:08.

I wanted to say what sort of a person Lewis Anthony is. He might

:02:09.:02:17.

just as well have killed me. I wish he had killed me instead of Andrew.

:02:18.:02:20.

The attorney general referred the sentence to the court of appeal

:02:21.:02:23.

saying it did not properly reflect the gravity of what Gill did, but

:02:24.:02:27.

this morning three judges in London decided the sentence should stand.

:02:28.:02:34.

They also pointed out that if there was a public and parliamentary

:02:35.:02:37.

desire to see the sentencing range changed, it would probably be in

:02:38.:02:41.

reference to the sentencing Council to review this. The entire

:02:42.:02:50.

sentencing area should be raised so they are higher.

:02:51.:02:52.

But the decision has angered the local MP.

:02:53.:02:57.

Sadly, it is a trend of strong individuals wanting to make their

:02:58.:03:04.

mark. It is the same as taking a weapon and given the same thing and

:03:05.:03:08.

that is why the sentence is too lenient but until the guidelines

:03:09.:03:13.

change, and like him will walk away after two years.

:03:14.:03:16.

Kyle Bartlett grew up in Portsmouth he was 21 when he died, another

:03:17.:03:19.

victim of a single punch attack. There have now been so many deaths a

:03:20.:03:23.

campaign has been launched to show how one punch can be fatal.

:03:24.:03:32.

Fists are a weapon. A life is still being taken and I don't think the

:03:33.:03:35.

sentences are tough enough. I've got a life sentence.

:03:36.:03:38.

The attack on Andrew Young outside this Bournemouth supermarket

:03:39.:03:41.

devastated his family ` the prison sentence that followed and today's

:03:42.:04:00.

decision has only made it worse. A Berkshire council has mistakenly

:04:01.:04:03.

allowed the names and addresses of more than 18,000 residents to be

:04:04.:04:05.

made available for marketing purposes. Wokingham Borough Council

:04:06.:04:08.

says a software glitch caused the details from the electoral register

:04:09.:04:10.

to be disclosed. Joe Campbell reports.

:04:11.:04:13.

Want to know who lives here...or here.....or here? The place to look

:04:14.:04:16.

is the electoral register. It lists those entitled to vote in every

:04:17.:04:19.

house, in every street, in every town.

:04:20.:04:25.

It is a public document, available to anyone who wants to inspect it at

:04:26.:04:29.

their local town hall or Civic Centre that since a landmark ruling

:04:30.:04:33.

in 2002, people have been able to opt out of the register which is

:04:34.:04:39.

available to anyone who wants to buy it. Not here in Wokingham. It has

:04:40.:04:47.

just had to tell 18,000 people across the borough that even though

:04:48.:04:50.

they had asked for details to be kept private, they have been sold.

:04:51.:04:54.

The council blames the problem on a software glitch and has reported

:04:55.:05:00.

itself to the data commisioner. For a lot of people, there will be

:05:01.:05:04.

no impact and their data won't have been sold on. There is a risk it

:05:05.:05:10.

happen. And where the data was sold, residents may find they get junk

:05:11.:05:14.

mail, marketing mail they won't expect him to get through the post.

:05:15.:05:20.

The firm responsible for the software is based a few miles away

:05:21.:05:27.

and boasts it supplies nine out of ten councils in the UK. Attempts to

:05:28.:05:33.

reach it today went unanswered. Perhaps the first you will know if

:05:34.:05:40.

or one of the unfortunate is when the junk mail starts piling up. A

:05:41.:05:57.

stolen mobile phone has sent a "selfie" of a mystery man back to

:05:58.:06:01.

its owner. Now police want to speak to the man in this photo. The images

:06:02.:06:04.

from the victim's phone automatically upload to her Dropbox

:06:05.:06:07.

account ` that's a free facility for storing photographs and documents

:06:08.:06:10.

online. The 21`year`old woman had two mobile phones taken from her bag

:06:11.:06:13.

at The Astoria club in Portsmouth ten days ago.

:06:14.:06:16.

A former youth worker from Portsmouth has gone on trial accused

:06:17.:06:19.

of going to Syria to train as a terrorist. Mashudur Choudhury was

:06:20.:06:22.

arrested at Gatwick Airport as he flew into the UK last year. The

:06:23.:06:25.

prosecution claim he spoke about becoming a martyr and say a text

:06:26.:06:29.

message from his wife told him to "go die in battlefield". He denies

:06:30.:06:32.

the charge. Our home affairs correspondent Emma Vardy reports

:06:33.:06:34.

from Kingston Crown Court. The issue of British Muslims

:06:35.:06:38.

travelling to Syria to take part in the conflict has been one of growing

:06:39.:06:41.

concern for anti`terrorism police. Mashudur Choudhury is charged with

:06:42.:06:47.

arranging to train at the terror camp and travelling abroad to commit

:06:48.:06:51.

acts of terrorism. The court heard today about the preparations he made

:06:52.:06:54.

today before going and his excitement at the prospect of coming

:06:55.:06:58.

a martyr and the dispute with his wife because of his decision to

:06:59.:07:04.

leave. The court heard 31`year`old Mashudur Choudhury lived in

:07:05.:07:06.

Portsmouth with his wife and two children. He ran a local Muslim

:07:07.:07:11.

youth group. The prosecution says he held strong religious beliefs about

:07:12.:07:18.

fighting Jihad, opposing the Assad regime and over several months, he

:07:19.:07:22.

made plans to go to Syria. The court was shown angry text conversations

:07:23.:07:26.

with his wife in which Mashudur Choudhury have tried to persuade

:07:27.:07:29.

heard to come to Syria with him and bring their children. In one, he

:07:30.:07:32.

wrote: The court heard Mashudur Choudhury

:07:33.:07:50.

had been communicating with another man from ports much `` Portsmouth

:07:51.:07:56.

who was already in Syria. See here being interviewed by Newsnight.

:07:57.:08:05.

Mashudur Choudhury had discussed the arrangement for taking part in a

:08:06.:08:09.

training camp when he arrived and asked how much money you need and

:08:10.:08:13.

how much firearms cost. In one message, he was told:

:08:14.:08:22.

The prosecution said he met four other men at Gatwick airport. The

:08:23.:08:30.

court was shown CCTV of them going through security before boarding the

:08:31.:08:36.

flight and travelling to Syria. The prosecution says from that point,

:08:37.:08:40.

for whatever reason, Mashudur Choudhury changed his mind and flew

:08:41.:08:46.

home after two and a half weeks on arrival at the UK, he was arrested

:08:47.:08:51.

at Gatwick airport. Mashudur Choudhury denies the allegations

:08:52.:08:55.

against him but the jury have been told clearly this is not about who

:08:56.:09:00.

is right and wrong in the Syrian regime or of their opinion about the

:09:01.:09:04.

Assad regime. This is about whether they believe Mashudur Choudhury

:09:05.:09:08.

planned and travelled abroad with the intention to take part in

:09:09.:09:15.

serious violence for an ideological cause.

:09:16.:09:19.

Britain's policy on the shooting of migratory birds in Malta was

:09:20.:09:21.

discussed by MPs today following campaigning by the New Forest based

:09:22.:09:24.

television presenter and ecologist Chris Packham. He's just spent seven

:09:25.:09:27.

days on the Mediterranean island, filming legal and illegal hunting

:09:28.:09:30.

during the spring hunting season. He said he welcomed the debate as it

:09:31.:09:34.

was drawing attention to a Europe wide issue with an impact here.

:09:35.:09:39.

What we are concerned about is that people in Malta are shooting adult

:09:40.:09:48.

breeding pairs of turtledove. Our populations have declined by 95%

:09:49.:09:53.

since 1970 and those birds fly over Walter to reach us. They are not our

:09:54.:10:01.

birds but they share our environment and in the 21st`century, the vast

:10:02.:10:05.

majority of us are interested in its conservation so it is time Malta was

:10:06.:10:09.

brought on board. Still to come: A teacher hoping to

:10:10.:10:13.

put his mark on the FA Vase final. The writer Leslie Thomas has died at

:10:14.:10:24.

his home near Salisbury. He was 83. The former journalist had been ill

:10:25.:10:29.

for some time. He lost his parents during the Second World War and grew

:10:30.:10:32.

up in a Barnardo's home. After spending time on national service in

:10:33.:10:35.

Malaya, Leslie wrote the best`selling novel, The Virgin

:10:36.:10:37.

Soldiers, inspired by his experiences. He was awarded an OBE

:10:38.:10:42.

in 2004 for services to literature. They're known as man's best friend,

:10:43.:10:46.

but to one woman in Chichester her dog is much more. Tricia O'Brien has

:10:47.:10:51.

multiple sclerosis and Barclay is her care dog. On one occasion when

:10:52.:10:58.

Tricia fell, all Barclay could do was cuddle up to keep her warm. So

:10:59.:11:02.

now he's been trained to press a special alarm which has been

:11:03.:11:05.

installed in the house at doggie`height. And the West Sussex

:11:06.:11:11.

charity Canine Partners says it's increasingly training dogs to use

:11:12.:11:14.

such technology to raise the alarm. Sean Killick reports.

:11:15.:11:18.

Tricia has fallen and hit her head but Barclay comes to the rescue. He

:11:19.:11:22.

checks to see whether Tricia is conscious and, not knowing this is

:11:23.:11:25.

just a training exercise, he runs into the living room and presses the

:11:26.:11:30.

alarm button. Do not worry, the alarm is dialling

:11:31.:11:33.

for assistance. The call goes through to Chichester

:11:34.:11:39.

District Council's Careline Centre. Hello, it's Bonnie calling from the

:11:40.:11:42.

Careline in Chichester. How can I help you?

:11:43.:11:45.

I'm going to get a mobile warden on the way immediately and also call

:11:46.:11:52.

the emergency services. The exercise gives Tricia peace of

:11:53.:11:56.

mind that Barclay can get help if it's needed. Tricia has MS and was

:11:57.:12:01.

provided with Barkley by the charity Canine Partners, initially to help

:12:02.:12:04.

with activities such as shopping and unloading the washing machine but

:12:05.:12:07.

later he was trained to raise the alarm following an accident when

:12:08.:12:08.

Tricia fell in the kitchen. companies want to use them for

:12:09.:13:56.

deliveries. Could they really put the white van man out of a job?

:13:57.:14:00.

Drones are helping firefighters in Hampshire tackle big fires like this

:14:01.:14:03.

one in Basingstoke. They are trialling them at Gatwick to patrol

:14:04.:14:07.

the runway and would like to use them more but where do you draw the

:14:08.:14:11.

line between gathering evidence and spying on people? We've already seen

:14:12.:14:14.

the first successful prosecution for the illegal use of drones in the UK

:14:15.:14:18.

` you can pick them up for ?50 in one supermarket but flying a drone

:14:19.:14:22.

is aviation. How many people know the regulations and are they safe?

:14:23.:14:29.

To discuss that, I spoke a little earlier to Professor Jim Scanlan of

:14:30.:14:32.

the University of Southampton, who develops drones, and to Emma Carr

:14:33.:14:35.

from Big Brother Watch, which has concerns about their use.

:14:36.:14:40.

Professor Scanlan brought along one of his drones and he explained more

:14:41.:14:48.

about it. What you've got in front of you is

:14:49.:14:52.

the world's first printed aeroplane. It is a demonstration to show that

:14:53.:14:56.

we can print sufficiently lightly so something that can fly. We can put

:14:57.:15:02.

cameras and sensors in it and my interest lies in civil applications

:15:03.:15:05.

says things like wildlife monitoring, pollution monitoring.

:15:06.:15:09.

So it makes it cheap and possible for people to buy this? Let me bring

:15:10.:15:17.

in Emma Carr from Big Brother Watch. Cheap, easily accessible and people

:15:18.:15:21.

can buy them. What is wrong with that?

:15:22.:15:25.

One of the problems is that there is very lax regulation around the use

:15:26.:15:28.

of drones, especially individuals who as it has been said, can get

:15:29.:15:31.

them cheaply and easily, especially of the Internet. What we are saying

:15:32.:15:36.

is there should be legislation around the use of drones so

:15:37.:15:39.

everybody knows when they are legal to be used so there is some process.

:15:40.:15:46.

So if your neighbour is flying it around your garden, you know who to

:15:47.:15:49.

complain to. There is an argument, Professor.

:15:50.:15:55.

There are no existing licensing for having a drone so you can walk into

:15:56.:15:59.

a shop, buy something like this and use it.

:16:00.:16:01.

I believe the regulations are tight enough so if you look into the Air

:16:02.:16:05.

Navigation Order, there are specific restrictions on what you can do with

:16:06.:16:09.

these things so if you want to use them to make money, you have to get

:16:10.:16:14.

special permission. If you want to fly within 50 metres of people and

:16:15.:16:17.

buildings, you have got to get permission. If you want to fly

:16:18.:16:26.

within 150 metres of congested spaces, you need special permission.

:16:27.:16:32.

Existing laws are there. The existing laws are proficient.

:16:33.:16:37.

Obviously, when you are talking about a university or police service

:16:38.:16:42.

or the emergency services using these sorts of pieces of technology,

:16:43.:16:49.

they are obviously going to stick to this but what I'm concerned about

:16:50.:16:53.

the private individuals the strains of the Internet which have

:16:54.:16:56.

sophisticated cameras and flying them around. I don't think people

:16:57.:17:00.

are going to be policing those people. I think it's only right we

:17:01.:17:06.

know who you can go to to complain if you are worried about somebody

:17:07.:17:12.

using these drones. I share your worries that there have been to

:17:13.:17:15.

prosecutions this year, private individuals who have done reckless

:17:16.:17:24.

things with aeroplanes and they were prosecuted and it was broadcast, the

:17:25.:17:26.

fact they would like to know about people doing illegal things. So if

:17:27.:17:31.

somebody operated one in your next`door garden and flew over your

:17:32.:17:35.

garden, you can prosecute. I'd like there is an element here to suggest

:17:36.:17:41.

it could be open to use by criminal elements.

:17:42.:17:46.

There are sufficient laws and it is highly visible. Our aeroplanes are

:17:47.:17:50.

quite noisy so they are very obvious. Argue against... Are you

:17:51.:17:56.

saying we should ban the Private use of drones? Could you see them being

:17:57.:18:05.

used sensibly? At the moment, in terms of the cameras, there is no

:18:06.:18:11.

specific legislation around the use of the cameras on drones to say when

:18:12.:18:14.

it is and isn't acceptable to be used so there is a mismatch of

:18:15.:18:20.

legislation. You have the civil aviation authority and the data

:18:21.:18:26.

protection act, the same thing that applys to CCTV cameras. If I am a

:18:27.:18:34.

neighbour that puts up a CCTV camera in my garden which shines into my

:18:35.:18:38.

neighbour's house, nobody really knows who it is we should go to and

:18:39.:18:42.

complain to for catching those images. I'd like in a sentence, it

:18:43.:18:50.

is the future, isn't it? I think so. There is a huge amount of useful

:18:51.:18:58.

applications for these things. You might like to know the drone the

:18:59.:19:04.

professor brought in is going to be at the science Museum.

:19:05.:19:08.

When it comes to helping children concentrate in class, schools in the

:19:09.:19:11.

south are really thinking outside the box. In the past we've heard

:19:12.:19:15.

about classroom massages and reading dogs. Now a school in Dorset has

:19:16.:19:18.

adopted a new technique to help children really pull their socks up.

:19:19.:19:22.

Sarah Farmer reports. Shirt, tie and slippers? The Isle of

:19:23.:19:27.

Portland Aldridge Community Academy has a classroom dresscode with a

:19:28.:19:32.

difference. They have adopted a no`shoes policy for lesson time.

:19:33.:19:38.

Kids take shoes off and good things happen, their behaviour improves. It

:19:39.:19:41.

is really hard to be naughty with your shoes off. It's even harder to

:19:42.:19:45.

bully with your shoes off. Secondly, the rooms are clean and thirdly, the

:19:46.:19:49.

kids are happy to sit on the clean floor and read and do things

:19:50.:19:52.

comfortably. Students wear shoes in the

:19:53.:19:55.

technology lab and there is footwear available when they visit the

:19:56.:19:58.

bathroom but other than that, it's socks and tights. Stripes are on

:19:59.:20:02.

trend with the occasional polka`dot. Some even have holes.

:20:03.:20:06.

And the teachers are suited but not booted.

:20:07.:20:12.

We wanted to engage the learners in every element of design so the

:20:13.:20:15.

children went off and found examples from around the world. They thought

:20:16.:20:20.

the idea of shoeless learning was a good one.

:20:21.:20:24.

So what do the pupils think? If you have been outside, you might

:20:25.:20:29.

get your shoes really dirty. It makes you a little bit relaxed

:20:30.:20:33.

because you can't touch the floor and if you do, you can't feel the

:20:34.:20:37.

constant rubbing and the sound of your shoe rubbing against the floor.

:20:38.:20:42.

Do you know when you have shoes on and it is really loud? It is really

:20:43.:20:46.

calm when you don't have shoes on. They really seem to like it but I

:20:47.:20:50.

have to ask... Is there a problem with smelly feet?

:20:51.:20:53.

Yeah. There are loads of smelly feet.

:20:54.:21:01.

The countdown is very much on to Sholing Football Club's big day out

:21:02.:21:07.

at Wembley. This Saturday, the Hampshire non`league side take on

:21:08.:21:10.

West Auckland in the final of the FA Vase. But while preparations

:21:11.:21:13.

continue in the background, the part`time footballers still have

:21:14.:21:16.

their day jobs to focus on, as Kris Temple has been finding out.

:21:17.:21:23.

On Saturday, Kevin will be walking out with his team`mates at Wembley

:21:24.:21:28.

but today it was his PE pupils on the edge of Southampton.

:21:29.:21:33.

Yellow team, lined up behind the green come.

:21:34.:21:38.

31`year`old Mr Brewster balances life as a non`league footballer with

:21:39.:21:42.

a full`time job teaching sport. It takes my mind off things and

:21:43.:21:47.

makes me concentrate on what I'm doing. In between sessions, I think

:21:48.:21:51.

about what's happening on the weekend but it's brilliant.

:21:52.:21:55.

As his pupils protect their javelin technique, most were unaware of the

:21:56.:21:59.

stage their teacher will be thrown onto at the weekend.

:22:00.:22:02.

A lot of the children don't know when playing on the weekend so I

:22:03.:22:06.

don't say much and keep it under wraps.

:22:07.:22:11.

They are second favourite against opponents from County Durham who

:22:12.:22:17.

also reached when we last season. We will sit down and have our team

:22:18.:22:20.

meeting to discuss their strengths and weaknesses but we are not

:22:21.:22:25.

worried about them. As long as we play the best we can and put 100% in

:22:26.:22:29.

and we put a good performance and had to try our best, hopefully it

:22:30.:22:32.

will go our way. He was left out of the squad for
