Leaving care and facing life on the streets. | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Why are young people not being housed in suitable accommodation? | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
There are people that I know since I was 14 that are still homeless now. | :00:22. | :00:26. | |

Young people leaving care face life on the streets, | :00:44. | :00:58. | |
unless more is done to help them into suitable accommodation. | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
That's the claim of charities who've told us that too many | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
A report by MPs describes the journey towards independence for | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
Katy Austin has been to meet one Southampton teenager being helped | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
by charity No Limits, who says she was left sleeping rough and passed | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
from one dangerous B to another when she left the care system. | :01:21. | :01:30. | |
If it was not the No limits and my hostel, I would be in prison. She | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
was 13 when she went into care. Fostering did not work out and she | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
became homeless. Social services stepped in but stability did not | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
follow. I was in a B and 15. It was awful. Probably one of the worst | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
places I have ever lived. The landlady kept coming in my room and | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
stealing from me. They tried putting me in a hostel. I had just turned | :01:59. | :02:07. | |
16. Then I fell pregnant. They kicked me out. I got put back into a | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
B because nowhere else would take it. After more B and hostels, she | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
started to get help from charity, No limits. They want more money put | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
into support services and better accommodation. More foster carers, | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
more supported lodging. It is important that the foster carers and | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
the lodging placements, that they are properly trained and they | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
understand the issues that these people face. A recent government | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
report criticised the accommodation that some care leavers go into, | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
saying it is often not suitable and needs better regulation. The report | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
said no leader should go into B She is now looking for work and | :02:51. | :03:32. | |
getting used to the idea of staying in one place. She wants others to | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
have a smoother path than has. I know people now that are still | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
homeless and had known them since I was 14. They are not getting the | :03:43. | :03:55. | |
support that they need. What evidence is there that some carers | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
end up on the street? We do not have precise figures on how many care | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
leavers become homeless. But some 90 tab been in care, how many of them? | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
`` 19`year`olds. Nationally that figure was at about 88%. In some | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
parts it is much lower. In Southampton, last year, it was 63% | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
now in suitable accommodation. On the Isle of Wight, 73%. Those 19 new | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
roles that were in care are now in accommodation. In Surrey there are a | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
lot more people to deal with it and it is 78 ascent. Some people are | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
slipping through the net. We went to all the councils and asked if they | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
would tell what they offer the leavers and how to approve the | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
system but nobody was available. There are warnings that | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
holidaymakers flying from Gatwick this weekend could face leaving | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
without their luggage, because one of the baggage handling | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
firms does not have enough staff. Both the airport and Swissport, the | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
baggage company, say they'll bring in extra workers to cope with one of | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
the busiest weekends of the year. Monarch airline has ended two | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
contracts with Swissport ` but they say the problems last | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
Saturday were exceptional and blame the delays on too many aircrafts | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
arriving in quick succession. Mental health bosses are reviewing | :05:11. | :05:26. | |
practices after a ruling in Guildford. The NHS trust has met | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
since ending quest into the death of Frances Andrade. She was found dead | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
at her home in Guildford last year, one week after she testified against | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
a former choirmaster, Michael Brewer. The trust said that they | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
were working to make improvements to services. | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
He's a former Gurkha soldier who's fighting for his two daughters to | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
have the right to live in the UK, so they can care for him. | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
Falklands' veteran Dumbar Bahadar Margar lives in Reading with | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
He has two adult children living in Nepal. | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
Campaigners say the family's fallen foul of the legal process. | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
The family is not complete. Dambar Bahdar Magar just wants to be | :06:01. | :06:15. | |
reunited with his daughters. If he comes, I am happy because they have | :06:16. | :06:24. | |
looked after me. Dambar served with the seventh rifles, fighting on the | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
front line in the Falklands. He and his wife settled in Redding but as | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
is the way of the Nepalese they want all their children with them. `` | :06:32. | :06:43. | |

Joanna Lumley ruling in 2009 gave him the right to live in the UK. But | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
as the law stands, children over the age of 18 cannot join them. The Home | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
Office said it had no plan to change Office said it had no plan to change | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
the rules. The family have gone to an immigration tribunal. A test case | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
a head of a government debate. As the hearing began, he put on his hat | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
and saluted. The court heard of his 17 year long service record. He has | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
just been diagnosed with dementia and he cares for his profoundly | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
disabled son. And that is why he needs his daughters here. How do you | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
feel? Are you angry? I am happy. Because I hope and I am praying. If | :07:32. | :07:41. | |
we fail at this level we will move onto the next one and the next if | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
necessary. This kind of thing cannot go on. It is absolutely wicked. The | :07:47. | :07:55. | |
judgement is expected in two weeks. Supporters said because he fought | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
for his country he deserves to be supported by it. And by his family. | :07:59. | :08:11. | |
The family is not complete. Dambar Bahdar Magar just wants to be | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
One of the south's most irritating insect | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
pests, which has been successfully kept at bay for the last twenty | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
The Blandford fly used to swarm in huge numbers, leaving nasty bites | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
Since the early nineties a regular chemical treatment has | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
But now, as Roger Finn reports, that treatment is under threat. | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
This is found in Sussex, Oxfordshire and particularly in Dorset, near the | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
River star in Blandford. It habitats in here and when it is out in the | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
spring, one of the first thing is that the males wants to do is have a | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
meal of luck. Any lake will do. `` of blood. It can get the treatment | :08:48. | :08:57. | |
and it can be quite painful. I do not think I would want to be bitten | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
again. They suffered a severe outbreak in the 1960s and 1970s. 600 | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
people visited their doctors one spring with bites. A chemical was | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
developed which killed most of the larvae without hurting otherwise | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
life. Sprays began in 1992 and spraying has been carried out ever | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
since. It costs about ?20,000 per year shared with councils and health | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
authorities. Now they are doubts that it will continue for two | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
reasons. First of the health authorities has left confusion about | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
who will pay the bill. And new reappearance `` and new regulations | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
mean that the chemical used to kill the larvae must be licensed again. | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
Unfortunately there is such a backlog of applications that there | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
are concerns that the treatment next spring will not go ahead. It seems | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
the number of victims has dropped but there is no data to prove that | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
the spraying is effective. There seems to be a lack of evidence | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
available. And that is why we have moved to set up a review. We think | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
that it is important that we understand fully what impact | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
spraying has on the environment and on the insect and on the local | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
population. The group will decide if spraying can, and should carry on. | :10:19. | :10:20. | |
STUDIO: The latest victors... Latest pictures | :10:21. | :10:31. | |
of the Portsmouth`based ferry Commodore Clipper reveal | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
the extent of the damage suffered when it struck the sea floor | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
near Guernsey two weeks ago. The ferry is in dry dock at | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
Falmouth, where large new sections The bottom of the ship has | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
been torn in several places. Still to come in this evening's | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
South Today... after a Glorious Day at | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
Goodwood. Join us here later, day three, | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
ladies Day and a big day for you, Alexis. Find out how I got on in the | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
Magnolia Cup. When restrictions were lifted | :10:58. | :11:05. | |
earlier this year there was concern But | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
a surprising new trend has emerged. In increasing numbers companies | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
from the South are travelling to Romania keen to take advantage | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
of its growing economy. Trade agreements with Hampshire | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
mean businesses in the county are securing lucrative deals that | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
could be worth millions of pounds. Land can be rented | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
at one pence a square metre or The average hourly wage is less | :11:25. | :11:39. | |
than two euros, at around ?1.70. Financial incentives offer 50% | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
back on money invested in new businesses. Here's our business | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
correspondent, Alastair Fee. Cheap skilled labour, industrial | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
space at bargain prices, a Romania is a new attractive | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
business destination. Businesses are being encouraged from | :11:57. | :12:15. | |
abroad and many people want to get involved but Hampshire is leading | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
the way. This company is among the first. They have developed | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
technology used by the police and military to recover information from | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
mobile telephones. Andy Gill is meeting with the remaining police in | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
the town of Craiova. There is a need for specialist technology and skill, | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
almost limitless. We need to scale the business and develop it. We must | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
look at markets abroad. In my business, traditionally it has been | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
significant, overseas opportunities in far`flung places like Australia | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
and Asia. And to develop something closer to home, it is easier and | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
more economical, that is significant for the company. Businesses are | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
coming in increasing numbers, pitching product under the guidance | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
of a Hampshire service set up called Bridge to Romania. We want to create | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
a model working for Hampshire and Romania and rolling out this model | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
and not taking too much risk. Some people cannot afford to invest too | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
much. People that want a hand in this process, they could be | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
successful. Here lies the power, here lies the future of the economy | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
and society in both countries. Much of the work begins here at the City | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
Hall. Opportunities are identified and links with companies are formed. | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
It is very good for the is this from England. Because they have a good | :13:49. | :13:58. | |
profit here. And they find these opportunities and these facilities | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
in Romania. When it comes to transparency, remain here has had a | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
bad reputation. Along with all the area it has been listed as a | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
corruption hotspot. This company has operated here for nine years. When I | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
came to Romania, we did face individuals, or companies that would | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
say, what is in it for me? It was difficult for us to understand what | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
they meant at first. But without a doubt, when you have got | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
politicians, senior police officers, business people, all being put | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
through the judiciary and in prison, that is speaking volumes about the | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
fact that whereas corruption was very bad initially when we first | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
came here, it has improved dramatically and it should not put | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
people off coming here. This company is one of the latest looking to get | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
in the remaining market. There is interest in the technology. A follow | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
up visit will ring trial and training and it is a successful trip | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
for them. The main thing that I have gained is that there is a | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
willingness to allow vendors from the UK to operate here. I think | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
there is a chance we can deliver a service that we would be proud of. | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
Ten businesses in Hampshire have good links with Romania. Some are | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
looking to export. Some are looking at ways of opening manufacturing | :15:29. | :15:47. | |
sites abroad. Tony Husband is gallivanting around the south. He is | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
at one of the great racing festivals in the sporting calendar, Glorious | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
Goodwood, one of my favourites, Tony. You have to go with the | :15:56. | :16:04. | |
stories take you. It is lovely here. Tens of thousands of people, many | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
are staying here this evening. A bit of light of freshmen after a great | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
day at the races. I will tell you a bit about some of the big races | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
shortly. First, other sports news and breaking news from Redding | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
football club. A partnership agreement with a consortium led by a | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
Thailand businesswoman. This was announced in the past hour. The | :16:30. | :16:37. | |
consortium is led by... We do not have many details, but it brings to | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
an end a search for investment for the club. The chairman said he was | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
excited about the possibilities ahead. More about that in the days | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
to come. A partnership agreement has been made tonight. | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
At the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, | :16:57. | :16:57. | |

Scotland qualified for the finals of tonights 3 meter springboard | :17:44. | :17:45. | |
The finals are currently underway over on the BBC red button. | :17:46. | :17:59. | |
Ticket prices have been reduced and they got a big crowd for the final | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
day at the test match at the Ageas Bowl. | :18:06. | :18:06. | |
England ended a year`long wait for a Test win by wrapping up | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
a 266`run victory over India in the third Test at the Ageas Bowl. | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
After setting the tourists 445 to win, Sussex's Chris Jordan took this | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
stunning catch as England took the six wickets required on the final | :18:16. | :18:20. | |

Southampton have moved to strengthen their squad with the addition | :18:25. | :18:26. | |
of Ryan Bertrand from Chelsea on a season long loan. | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
If the move is successful he'll move to Southampton permanently | :18:32. | :18:33. | |
next year in a deal reported to be worth up to 10 million pounds. | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
Here at Goodwood, the big race of the day was | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
And Cavalryman showed he was as good as ever as he powered to victory. | :18:40. | :18:49. | |
Godolphin's eight`year`old became the first horse of that age to take | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
We had some very talented jockeys, including Alexis and you have had a | :18:53. | :19:08. | |
blinder. Certainly have. What an amazing effort that they have made. | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
It has been spectacular. The sun has been shining and it has been | :19:15. | :19:25. | |
fabulous. This is how we got on. My day begins with weighing in. We all | :19:26. | :19:33. | |
have to carry 12 stone. Then it is off to the start, to the cause. One | :19:34. | :19:42. | |
of my competitors is Tina Cook. An inventor from West Sussex. It is a | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
great experience. I am not a jockey. I am too tall and heavy and | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
I do not want to make a full of myself. I have not ridden a horse | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
before. They have had to swap over the one that I was going to ride. It | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
was lame yesterday. I do not know this one and I hope it looks after | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
careful. The punters probably no arrives. Tom Cruise. | :20:07. | :20:53. | |
careful. The punters probably no more than we do. Then I had to | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
adjust my weight. Final advice from the trainer, just a little bit. No | :20:57. | :21:08. | |
fighting. Then I enter the danger zone. | :21:09. | :21:18. | |
I am in the centre of your picture. Tina Cook is storming through. | :21:19. | :21:34. | |
Fantastic. My best ride ever. Fourth place. Not bad. It was worth those | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
late starts and early finishes. Winning enclosure. It is all we | :21:41. | :21:52. | |
wanted. I thought that was tremendous. Congratulations from all | :21:53. | :22:01. | |
of us. I thought you had it. I watched very carefully. I thought | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
you had it. Just fading a little bit 20 in a Cook came alongside. Yes, it | :22:09. | :22:16. | |
was so close. It was literally like the final furlong. And I was nearly | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
there. A queue lengths. I nearly had it. Fantastic. I know you did it | :22:24. | :22:32. | |
last year. Tactically, what did you learn and did you implement a | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
different tactic to get higher up? I was slightly less nervous because I | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
knew what I was expecting this year. My trainer was brilliant. I made | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
sure that I had a flying start and at least you can finish in style, | :22:54. | :23:01. | |
that is what I was told. It you get a good start you finish in style. | :23:02. | :23:08. | |
Tina Cook was coming up and I thought it was all over! We are | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
really pleased. She has done very well. A bit overwhelming! Well done, | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
Alexis. Thank you very much and again, well done. She really is a | :23:22. | :23:29. | |
