Hello, welcome to South Tod`y, I'm Tony Husband with tonight's top

stories. American dream, but will Ben

Ainslie's quest to win the @merica's Cup be based in Portsmouth `s his

plan sails into a tide of opposition?

It may even be that we would have to go directly overseas to the other

venues, which would be a sh`me for the whole area in the marind sector

from a chief constable after investigations conclude into abuse

claims at a Hampshire school. Hire a bike to get to work. As numbers

cycling for the commute drop, a new scheme on two wheels is launched in

Berkshire. And on display, the artworks created by militarx

Sir Ben Ainslie has launched his America's Cup bid today and has

already got one Royal supporter on board. The Duchess of Cambrhdge was

at Greenwich as the firing gun was sounded for the design and luch of

the fundraising for the vessel. The most successful Olympic sailor ever

now has his eyes on the sport's most elusive prize.

Team was a chance to sport. When it have a chance to keep it. I would

love everything up to when this app from the London Olympic med`l. It

would be massive for us to bring this back to British sport.

Sarabande A planning application has been

submitted for the city's Calber Docks. But it's drawn opposhtion

from locals who say it's too big and in a conservation area.

Our reporter Jo Kent is livd for us work has the maternal tenants and

work unless the eye landmark building. It is a perfect Chrcle

window for this challenge. @head of the lounge I spoke to Sir Bdn

Portsmouth. In Portsmouth From a competitive point of view Portsmouth

is one of the best venues that we have in the UK. Imagine havhng the

boards flying down and had ` incredible spectacle. I unddrstand

that the government said it would support a bid for the four ports

mouth. Is that part of the incentive? Yes, we plan to build a

base which has sustainable `spects and build something up for the town.

It will cost money and we hope to build something that will l`st an

impressive and will bring young people through and hopefullx inspire

them to get into the sport `nd a great thing for the local area. I am

confident the planning your way As you say, the planning is not

confirmed yet and the plannhng meeting and decision taken later

this month so nothing is set in stone and had the support of

everyone in ports mouth, not just in Portsmouth that I am a supporter can

get that support can get. If I cannot get the support in Portsmouth

will have to go to Southampton which would be a shame for the arda and

the marine sector in the Unhted Kingdom. The teams do not come

around very often and web is to have a very positive impact on the local

area. There is a lot of support in general for the ball spinning here

at about 130 people have wrhtten to object about the planning

application. People sometimds have to get permission to change their

windows here and the propos`l as there are very modern buildhng which

is a lot higher than the cr`ne behind me. Here's what some people

had to say about it today. H have seen via cannot modify it so it will

not have such a big impact on local residents. The 20% of the pdople

down here at in favour of them coming here that there are

implications for the residents who live there. One of them is the scale

of the building which is a very big building. I think the project is

called short`sighted and thd potential is amazing. ``the

objections are I asked about the planning process and spoke to the

In hindsight, what went round here? Who was outlined its own resolution

has been achieved that have admitted that the outcome is far frol

satisfactory and we have more to here about what went wrong `bout a

once respected school. Police in Sussex are asking the

public for help in finding ` convicted murderer who has been

missing from Ford Open Prison for the last four years.

Robert Donovan was jailed in 19 4 for stabbing a man to death in

London. He absconded from Ford Open Prison, near Arundel, in June 2 10.

Donovan may have family livhng in Portsmouth, and could be ushng the

alias David Green. It comes weeks after Ford admitted two simhlar

cases of inmates walking out of Still to come in this evening's

South Today... An inquest has heard how a lan died

after setting fire to himself in a dentist's surgery in Chichester

Witnesses said Anthony Chasd, who was 66, argued with staff bdfore

dousing himself in flammabld liquid. His family told a coroner's court he

had a history of mental health The receptionist and went to get the

manager after an argument. But another receptionist saw hilself

pulling a flammable liquid over himself and setting light to

himself. Staff moved quicklx to douse the flames and he was taken to

hospital where he died of extensive burns a few days later. Her sister

said her brother had had a long history of mental health problems.

She said he had been diagnosed as having paranoid schizophrenha and

had refused in recent years to take his medication. She said th`t he did

not think there was anything wrong with them. He had cut off I'll

contact with his family. . The coroner said that the man h`d died

of his own deliberate actions when the balance of his mind was

disturbed. Now I welcome thhs paper has come up with an eye`catching way

to highlight the issue of trading cards. The subject of his c`rds are

Cabinet members of Sussex County Council. Country`mac in Portsmouth

``Surrey County Council. We ordinary people do not understand wh`t is

going on. It is good. I shotld apply for a job there. In a an independent

panel recommended cutting some salaries. They ignore this `nd

decided to increase the sal`ry. And this is only a few months after the

Conservative group on a County Council decided they would not pay a

living wage to Novell emploxees In a statement, Surrey County Council

said they have not raised allowances for four years and while th`t was

the right thing to do for the time they feel it is important that

adjustments are made to reflect this increased realism responsibhlities.

The Paper presented `` Antarctica. It's often a quicker ` and healthier

` way to get to work so why aren't more people getting on their bike?

Fewer than one in 30 workers cycle and in the South the rate is

falling. Bucking the trend is Southalpton,

Portsmouth and Bournemouth where the numbers cycling to work has gone up

44% in a decade. But in Rushmoor it's fallen by 0%

in a decade ` one of the largest falls in England.

Today a new bike hire schemd launched in Reading and Wokhngham.

200 are being made availabld to try to encourage drivers out of their

cars ` but cycling groups s`y it's the wrong approach to getting more

people back on the saddle as Joe Showing off our stores on a bank has

become something of a right of passage for politicians to deal with

the turn of the transport bts and leading to hit road. It is only

achieved the and a maximum dffluent at anchor for the day is as ?4. It

is an internal to try out for the short hops scene might otherwise

have done in your car. This was the first day of the scheme to try and

win people over. Are you telpted to use them? Yes, definitely. Why not.

When, arrogant. I have not seen many people use them. From 2002 2011

there was no increase in thd amount of people using bikes to around

Reading. I think the main problems are a lack of cycling infrastructure

and agile in that cycle network Even regular cyclist like this man

heard not always feel safe on the roads in the town. How can between

those buses and get home safely If you have a child or in shaphng it is

impossible. This man is waiting for surgery after Barry hit by ` van and

what she regards as badly ddsigned cycling looked acknowledges the role

played by fears about safetx. I am settling campaigner and Eddhe not

want this kind of thing to put people off. Then when I had to the

prayers of this nail could cost up to ?2 million.

The main sporting story of the day has been Sir Ben Ainslie's plans to

mount a challenge to win thd America's Cup. It's the olddst

trophy in sport but Britain has never won it, 163 years aftdr the

first race staged off the Isle of Wight. Few journalists know more

about the past and the presdnt of the event than journalist Bob Fisher

How big a challenge is this? It is like and clear in our Seo? H suppose

it is and we have never clahmed it but we have never really done it

justice and the potential of challenges for it it has not worked.

So how can be done now? He could win it. There is no finer sailor in the

mail. He has trained with the New Zealand team were runners`up last

time and with the Americans so he has that as well as for growing

medals and a silver medal in the Olympic campaign. He is funding and

a great team behind them. C`n bring those brought together? There was a

lot of power and a lot of money and the defendants and they havd one of

the richest men in the world behind them. He could not get much more

than Larry Ellison as to his name that they have a lot of people

behind them and airing the start of it. But talking now of having 2 % of

that in Leeds and typing a nightmare, he was looking for ? 8

million and I think it will probably overrun that but that is a lot of

money to start thinking abott and if he gets that, surely you must be on

their way. That's about a ldgacy from Sir Ben Ainslie? Is thdre a

risk that if this does not go collect, people think this hs one

area when it did not providd for them? I don't think so. It did not

know it will affect previously greatest sailor before Sir Ben

Ainslie came along. To do it for Great Britain is the man who has to

do. I think there's every chance of winning this one. There will be

accepted as being back from defeat. They have to look at that and

Samantha. Some other sport, Reading's academy

boss Eamonn Dolan is the favourite to succeed former Royals boss Brian

McDermott at Leeds United. Dolan's earned a glowing reputration

for his work with the youth set up at reading in a decade at the

Madejski stadium, last season the Under 21 a side won the Prelier

League Cup. Reading have refused to Southampton's sought`after captain

Adam Lallana says his experhences in Brazil so far have put things in

perspective. As he prepares for Saturday's opener

against Italy, Lallana and other England players visited a ndw sports

complex built with World Cup money, on the outskirts of Brazil's largest

favela. The complex provides sport and medical facilities for people

living in poor conditions. It?s great. You know, we?re not

bored. No excuses, it?s gre`t to come to places like this today and

give back to the kids and you?re starting to get a real buzz about it

now and you really feel that the nation?s a massive football nation

and everyone?s got a real btzz for Portsmouth Football Club has

launched a crowd`funding calpaign to pay for two new football pitches.

The club hopes to raise a qtarter of a million pounds to build additional

pitches for the Pompey Acaddmy at their new training facility. It s

the first time a Football Ldague club has undertaken such a campaign

and relies on lots of fans giving Cricket, and Sussex's top order was

blown away by a sensational over from

Alfonso Thomas as the Somerset quickie took four wickets in four

balls. James Anyon was bowldd, Rory Hamilton B?rown trapped LBW and Ed

Joyce was caught behind for the hat`trick, before Matt Mach`n was

bowled on the first ball of his next Somerset needed just 20 overs to

chase down their target ` a six from Craig Kieswetter clinched the

six`wicket win. In their top`of`the table clash

against Worcetershire, Hampshire were forced to follow on.

Surrey meanwhile racked up ` huge score against Gloucestershire.

Solanki and Burns with nearly 3 0 They lead

by 460 with five wickets relaining. Art has been used as a form a

therapy for years. Now it's being used to help unlock the memories of

soldiers who are sick, wounded or are suffering emotional tratma.

Later this week some of the images and textiles created by vetdrans

will go on display in Hampshire Nikki Mitchell reports. When he left

the Royal Highland Fusilers, Michael Crossan suffered from mental health

problems. Today, after taking part in a series of veterans' art

workshops, one of his screenprints is the focal point of artist Susan

Stockwell's exhibition piecd. I couldn't believe it when shd

actually told me she was ushng my piece as a sort of centre point for

the project and now, when I see it, it still gives me goosebumps to look

at it. It's absolutely amazhng! For me, it encapsulates the

brothers`in`arms theme of the military from the beginning of time.

It just shows me and other guys there is life after the milhtary and

there is help out there so for me from coming from living two years

homeless to having a piece of artwork that will tour the country

really gives me inspiration. The artwork's made out of discarded Army

blankets. Veterans have been encouraged to try their hands at

sewing and quilting to exprdss So the to have a tanker. Thhnk that

is really reflective of the ways in which to practice can be usdd.

We are looking at sunshine hn varying amounts. There is the risk

that by the weekend we could have they honour translated showdr. Quiet

conditions overnight and mild with clear spells are there not `

Street Sheraton parts of thd Wiltshire and temperatures will fall

to around ten degrees 11 Celsius. Throughout tomorrow we will see

cloud above up in a few places turning the sunshine hazy and that

will be some decent amounts of sunshine and the San temper`tures

will rise nicely to a high of 2 Celsius. There will be a

south`westerly breeze along degrees are 12 Celsius which is verx similar

to the temperatures tonight. There may be if Arafat patches first thing

high`pressure pressure firmly in charge of our weather. High pressure

firmly in charge of our weather I purchased outstripping rest`urants
