I'm Tom Hepworth, you're watching South Today, | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
to the victims of the Westminster terror attack. | :00:10. | :00:17. | |
A whole lot of work, the councils struggling to patch up | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
and catch up with a backlog of potholes, want to know | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
A chill on the breeze over the next couple of days but a promising | :00:23. | :00:37. | |
weekend. Your full forecast coming up shortly. | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
Flags have been flying at half mast today, in tribute | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
to the victims of yesterday's attack at Westminster. | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
Searches have been carried out in Brighton and the region's police | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
forces are reviewing security arrangements. | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
The Prime Minister has praised the efforts of Bournemouth East MP | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
Tobias Ellwood for his actions in trying to save the life | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
Across the South, tributes have been paid to those who died | :01:00. | :01:08. | |
or were injured in yesterday's attack, with flags at half-mast | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
at civic buildings, including here at the Guildhall in Portsmouth. | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
Police forces have paid their respects to PC Keith Palmer | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
This was the minute's silence at Surrey police | :01:17. | :01:26. | |
Officers at Sussex police headquarters also stood | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
And there has been praise for those who tried to help at the scene, | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
including Bournemouth East MP Tobias Ellwood. | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
The Prime Minister in the Commons reflecting on the fact that | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
Mr Ellwood's brother Jonathan was killed during a terrorist | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
Not only did he show huge professionalism in putting his past | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
training to the use and the hope that he had of rescuing the life | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
of PC Keith Palmer, but of course, it was in the middle of a terrorist | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
attack, and our right honourable friend is somebody who knows | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
the trauma and tragedy of losing somebody in a terrorist attack. | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
Tobias Ellwood had tried to save the life of PC Keith Palmer. | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
He gave him CPR and tried to stem the flow of blood from his wounds. | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
Tony Davies, a former soldier and now a boxing coach, | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
I was shouting, weak pulse, he's got a weak pulse! | :02:17. | :02:27. | |
Meanwhile, officers investigating the attack have | :02:28. | :02:43. | |
carried out searches or arrests at locations, including ones | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
And forces across the South say they are reviewing security | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
arrangements in light of this attack. | :02:51. | :02:51. | |
The condition of the region's roads is getting worse. | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
If your car has been damaged going over a giant | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
pothole this winter, perhaps to you that's | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
But new figures came out today which detail just how many | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
Earlier I asked our transport correspondent | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
We're on one of the main roads into Southampton. | :03:09. | :03:22. | |
Right in the path of students cycling from the university. | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
At the end of winter here it can feel like driving | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
Claims against councils for damage are at record levels. | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
The weather has done its worst but the Councils | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
Well, today we've learned how far behind they are falling. | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
The Department for Transport published a list for the percentage | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
of roads where maintenance should be considered, for each | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
Twenty percent of local roads, one in five, needs repair. | :03:52. | :03:59. | |
Ten years ago, the figure was much lower: 13 percent. | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
Now this might come as a surprise to people who live here, | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
but Wiltshire is the opposite end of the spectrum. | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
Just one in six of their roads are listed as needing repair. | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
In between comes Surrey, West Sussex, and Dorset. | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
Paul, what sort of roads are we talking about here? | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
We're talking about roads maintained by local councils, Tom, | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
not the national routes run by the Highways Agency. | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
So urban streets, country lanes, the local roads that | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
As council budgets get squeezed, and funding from central government | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
falls, the road maintenance industry has been warning for years | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
Next week an industry survey will again show the backlog runs | :04:42. | :04:53. | |
to ?12 billion, with thousands of miles likely | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
Councils say the gap between the money they need, | :04:56. | :05:04. | |
and the cost of keeping roads up to a reasonable standard, | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
Two men managed to break into Portsmouth's Spinnaker Tower | :05:08. | :05:18. | |
and parachute from the top of the one hundred | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
The activity is known as Base jumping and the police say | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
the pair put themselves in considerable danger. | :05:26. | :05:26. | |
Anjana Gadgil is live in Portsmouth tonight, | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
On the 9th of March at 9.15 - two men forced their way | :05:29. | :05:41. | |
into the Spinnaker Tower behind me and base jumped off it it - | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
that means they jumped off and used either a parachute or a wingsuit | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
to slow themselves down as they reached the ground. | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
Hampshire Police are trying to trace the two - | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
you can see CCTV images here as they climbed the 570 | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
The tower is 170 metres tall - with the viewing deck at 110 metres. | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
The police say the men put themselves in significant danger | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
and would like to speak to anyone who recognises them. | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
Base jumping is an extreme sport and has grown | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
hugely in popularity - here you can see | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
the world's tallest building - the Burj Khalifa in Dubai in 2014. | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
And there has been an incident here before - | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
back in 2005 just before the tower was opened. | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
It's clearly highly dangerous but it isn't illegal - | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
but causing damage to gain access to a property is and that's | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
The funeral has taken place of a man from Chichester who died fighting | :06:29. | :06:37. | |
Ryan Lock died in December during a gunfight. | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
He'd travelled to the country last year to fight the so-called | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
It's thought he may have taken his own life to avoid being captured. | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
Friends and family gathered yesterday for a private service. | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
A government minister has been asked to decide if nine local councils | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
It would save millions of pounds, but would getting rid | :07:02. | :07:10. | |
of local councillors make decisions less, well... | :07:11. | :07:11. | |
Our Political Editor Peter Henley reports. | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
Olive bottling in deepest Dorset. Olives Et Al have their production | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
Buying the best olives from around the world | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
and exporting globally, too, but they rely on local councils | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
Getting a decision can take too long, they say, and as a result, | :07:25. | :07:32. | |
the county's businesses aren't prospering as they should be. | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
It's trying to find the right mouth, the right person to speak to. | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
And inevitably, when you have spoken to one, you have to speak | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
And I think this whole idea about trying to streamline the local | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
authorities into just two will simplify that beyond belief. | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
From Sturminster Newton to the world, the olives bottled | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
here travel down in Dorset's superhighway, the A35. | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
And according to the leader of Dorset Council, reducing nine | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
councils to two will really help keep the wheels of the | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
Surveys have shown that in general, people quite like decisions | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
That's what we're seeing with Brexit. | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
But in a modern, increasingly complicated world, it's | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
one way of saving money and providing simplicity. | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
Three councils are against the merger and the Christchurch MP | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
Christopher Chope has been urging the Secretary of State not | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
Can we have an early debate on how to prevent ineffective and wasteful | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
councils seeking to seize by compulsion the assets and powers | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
of their financially sound neighbours. | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
He's talking about this man, the council leader in Bournemouth. | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
The criticism is that overturning years of history to form one | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
new super council in the urban east of Dorset will lead | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
I think with the right councillors doing the job that they are elected | :08:52. | :09:00. | |
to do and being accountable to local residents, it's the local residents | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
The mayors' portraits tell the story of changing local | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
We'll find out soon whether the government wants that | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
Peter Henley, BBC South today, Bournemouth. | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
Football and Portsmouth's Chief Executive has said fans should be | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
cautiously optimistic after it was confirmed Pompey | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
were entering formal talks to sell the club to the former Disney boss | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
Tonight, we can reveal that the US investment firm Inner Circle sports | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
are advising him on the deal, they've previously acted on sales | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
of other English clubs including Liverpool. | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
That's the latest thanks for being there. | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
We'll be back with bulletins in BBC Breakfast tomorrow morning | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
but now Sarah Farmer's here with your weather forecast. | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
We have quite a breezy night ahead of us. Much of a region stays dry | :09:50. | :09:57. | |
overnight with quite a lot of cloud overhead, but there is an exception, | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
coastal areas seeing outbreaks of rain. Blustery conditions, gales | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
along the coast. This easterly breeze will cross the region, taking | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
the chill off some no frost tomorrow morning but still a chilly start. | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
Cloud around first time and some dampness but gradually brightness | :10:19. | :10:26. | |
developing, one to sunny spells possible in the afternoon. | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
Temperatures will peak 11 or 12 degrees but with the easterly wind, | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
this will take the edge off the temperatures. For the weekend, a | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
settled team, high pressure in charge. On Saturday, it will remain | :10:42. | :10:49. | |
fine and the winds will ease down. A pleasant day for Saturday. Let's | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
look at the summary, cloudy skies but brightness at times tomorrow. | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
Saturday will be the brighter weather continue into the second | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
part of the weekend. 1415 degrees. Still quite breezy. Here's Thomas | :11:02. | :11:02. | |
with the national picture. | :11:03. | :11:05. |
