Hello, good evening. I'm Tom Hepworth. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Dashcam footage of a lorry driver moments | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
before he hits a stationary car, killing a young woman. | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
Anger as parents learn two schools will be merged | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
If you would have told us before we could | :00:16. | :00:25. | |
If you would have told us before we could have helped sooner. | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
I will have 30 weather ahead. It is a mixed bag. | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
Tonight, yet another case of a death on the roads because someone | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
was using their mobile phone behind the wheel. | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
Once more it involves a lorry driver on the A34. | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
Dariusz Tokarczyk has been sentenced to four and a half years | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
in prison for causing death by dangerous driving. | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
He failed to see the hazard lights of a car broken | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
down near the junction with the M4 in Berkshire. | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
Jeremy Stern reports from Reading Crown Court. | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
This footage was taken from the lorry driven | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
by Dariusz Tokarczyk on the A34 near Chieveley in March last year. | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
Ahead is a Vauxhall Corsa driven by Jodie Moss, a 21-year-old | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
She put the hazard lights on because of engine problems. | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
The lorry didn't slow down as it neared the Corsa. | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Reading Crown Court heard 47-year-old | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
Tokarczyk from Yorkshire was using a hand-held device, | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
probably a mobile phone, to change his music in the | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
Speaking through a Polish interpreter, he admitted causing | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
Jodie Moss's family said she died after some of the happiest | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
Jodie was a happy student who loved nature and very caring of others. | :01:48. | :01:56. | |
She was taken far too early by a selfish ten second act. | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
The driver had plenty of time to act on seeing her hazards. | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
The devastation caused continues to be immeasurable. | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
We will never forget all the pleasure she gave us. | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
Sentencing Tokarczyk, Judge Morris said he had taken a cavalier | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
attitude to using a mobile phone while driving. | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
She said, "You did not react to the stationary vehicle | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
She also described him as irresponsible, | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
He was sentenced afford half years in prison and he was banned | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
Surrey County Council is accusing an energy company of carrying out | :02:36. | :02:44. | |
additional drilling at an oil well in the green belt without seeking | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
Angus Energy has an existing production site at | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
The company insists it has all the permissions needed | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
I asked Lewis Coombes what exactly was going on. | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
For 30 years, oil has been drilled here but tonight the picturesque | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
village of Brockham finds itself at the centre of an ongoing debate | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
between Surrey County Council and Angus Energy. | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
It is all to do whether the company did or did not require | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
planning permission to drill what is known | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
It is an offshoot, if you like, of the original borehole. | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
If you look at the field today you wouldn't even know | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
the oil well is there, it is a six inch wide hole | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
and the rig used in January has there been taken away. | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
Surrey County Council say they wrote to the | :03:37. | :03:45. | |
company saying that planning permission would be required and in | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
a statement today said they are extremely disappointed | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
But Angus Energy, they say the council only controls | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
activities above the ground and they followed all the permissions and | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
guidlines required by the three other regulators, | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
the Environment Agency, the Oil and Gas Authority | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
You need oversight for different areas of it. | :04:07. | :04:17. | |
Of course, those other bodies need to be approached and you need | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
Unless Surrey County Council don't understand | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
their own planning permit then it would seem very odd that they are | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
in the wrong and they have got it wrong somehow. | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
This site has seen protests in the past, hasn't it? | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
This is different to the anti-fracking protests we have | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
This isn't about fracking but protest camps were set up here at | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
Angus Energy has an interest in that site also. | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
An application for test drilling has been submitted. | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
It is a hot topic among those who live here. | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
We need to work through the economic indications and the social | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
Just be very careful about whatever is done to | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
This village has changed over the years so much now with traffic. | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
Now we get the tankers coming in, getting up Old School Lane, | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
it is a very narrow road and it causes a lot of problems | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
These ongoing talks are going to continue | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
between Angus Energy and Surrey County Council. | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
There is a number of people with a keen eye on that | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
including environmentalists and South East MEP Keith Taylor | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
who we caught up with from Brussels earlier. | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
He has been in touch with Surrey County Council. | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
I know they are in conversation with Angus Energy to find | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
But the bigger picture is all the fracking and oil | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
companies in the South of England are going to be | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
watching what Surrey County Council does. | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
All eyes here on Brockham and we will have more on that | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
Hampshire County Council has today decided to press ahead with plans | :05:57. | :06:05. | |
Although there'll now be a further four week consultation, it looks | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
likely Fort Hill Community School will close at the end | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
of the academic year, to join forces with Cranborne Business | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
At the end of this, this is a massively difficult decision. | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
It was the decision they fought against | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
You didn't tell the community before now that the school | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
If you'd have told us before we could have helped sooner. | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
to save the school but feel they fell on deaf ears. | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
I can honestly say I've got two very well performing | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
children at that school and it is just really, really sad | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
they now are going to have face such upheaval. | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
It is a very, very difficult time for her. | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
She feels that her dedication has now been, in her words, screwed up. | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
It's a decision which comes down to money. | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
Fort Hill has seen falling pupil numbers. | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
Schools are funded per pupil so if they're not full it means | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
Hampshire County Council says over a year that would amount to half | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
a million pounds at Fort Hill which it can't afford. | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
We kept coming back to the same thing, how can we make the | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
school viable and give the quality curriculum we want in Fort Hill | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
Nobody came up with an answer to that. | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
Cranborne also has surplus places but it's bigger | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
so it can accommodate the pupils from Fort Hill. | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
There's now a four week consultation. | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
Parents say they'll continue to fight to save the school | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
but it's looking like a losing battle. | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
Jo Kent, BBC South Today, Basingstoke. | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
Almost half of parents whose children suffer mental health | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
problems are not asking for help, because they feel blamed | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
That's according to psychologists at Reading University. | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
Beckie Tollervey's son Luke suffered separation anxiety which caused | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
It took the family two years to get help but Luke's now overcome | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
Researchers say more needs to be done to support parents. | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
And finally, no we're not taking the Mickey, | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
it's been revealed that the former boss of Walt Disney, Michael Eisner, | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
has launched a bid to buy Portsmouth Football Club. | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
The club issued a statement after it emerged the American | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
billionaire was in talks with the south coast side. | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
South Today understands that Eisner has been actively pursuing football | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
interests for several months, through his Tornante | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
Any take over would have to be approved by Pompey shareholders. | :08:39. | :08:52. | |
That's the latest thanks for being there. | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
We'll be back with bulletins in BBC Breakfast tomorrow morning | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
but now Sam Fraser's here with your weather forecast. | :08:57. | :09:06. | |
The spring equinox and international happiness day-to-day but nothing | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
happy about the weather we had. Grey skies and plenty of rain. In the | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
week ahead, it is a bag. We are drawing in some polar air tonight. | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
It will be chilly. The strong winds should start to ease by midweek. For | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
tonight, it is a chilly night and clearing skies. Temperatures between | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
four and six sources. It'll be a chilly start tomorrow that it will | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
dawn bright with good spells of sunshine. We will start to see | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
showers moving in and those showers could fall as hail, perhaps | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
accompanied by some vendor. Tamara's high is nine cells in the strong | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
winds it will feel colder. Tomorrow evening, further showers to come | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
ahead of an organised band of rain which will make its way through the | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
region overnight. We're looking at cloudier skies so that overnight, | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
4-6 Celsius. That rain is going to move away to the east through the | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
course of Wednesday morning. By Wednesday afternoon, skies will be | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
clearing and we can see Sunny spells breaking through. Temperatures up to | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
eight or nine Celsius. Looking ahead to Thursday, the low-pressure out | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
over northern France is going to bring some more rain for a time on | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
Thursday. Thursday, a cloudy picture. It certainly looks to be a | :10:36. | :10:44. | |
wet picture and temperatures up at nine or ten sources. Friday, a | :10:45. | :10:52. | |
similar story. Some brighter spells and temperatures nudging up to ten | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
sources. Looking ahead to the weekend, some tinny nice to come but | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
some sunshine by day, outlook for Saturday and Sunday is | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
for something dry and settled, sunny spells but a bit on the cool side. | :11:05. | :11:13. | |
This week we are starting off with a taste of winter. This is Paul and | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
maritime air, it has come from a long way north and will push in lots | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
of showers. The last of any mild air gets swept away with the cloud. | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
Tonight we have showers mostly across the northern half of the UK, | :11:29. | :11:36. | |
which will turn wintry and that means more snow, particularly across | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland, perhaps northern | :11:41. | :11:42. |
