:00:00. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to South Today from Oxford.
:00:18. > :00:29.In tonight's programme: the death of a soldier. The NHS is asking is how
:00:30. > :00:37.it should save millions of pounds. Residents of a lost Wiltshire
:00:38. > :00:50.village make a bitter sweet return after 70 years.
:00:51. > :01:00.The family of an Oxfordshire`based serviceman has been hearing how he
:01:01. > :01:12.was shot dead by Afghan police who he'd been helping to train. This is
:01:13. > :01:19.what's known as a Green On Blue attack. An inquest underway in
:01:20. > :01:27.Oxford has included evidence from military colleagues of Corporal
:01:28. > :01:36.Brent McCarthy, from RAF Brize Norton, and also Lance Corporal Lee
:01:37. > :01:45.Davies, who was killed in the same attack in May last year. Their
:01:46. > :01:54.deaths were described by the Defence Secretary as a "cowardly act of
:01:55. > :02:02.aggression". Angela Walker's been at today's hearing. One of the
:02:03. > :02:11.witnesses told the court that he and the soldier were engaged in banter
:02:12. > :02:20.with two policemen a few minutes before the attack. He said there
:02:21. > :02:30.seemed to be no stray atmosphere and they were taking photographs of each
:02:31. > :02:37.other, but they noticed one of the policeman appeared to wet his
:02:38. > :02:46.trousers and they laughed and discussed whether he may be afraid
:02:47. > :02:54.of them. He then went into the building and a few minutes later he
:02:55. > :03:06.heard gunfire. Corporal Brent McCarthy and Lance Corporal Lee
:03:07. > :03:17.Davies had been shot at close range. Parts of the apologist reports were
:03:18. > :03:23.read out and both men died as a result of gunshot wounds resulting
:03:24. > :03:31.in catastrophic injuries which were an survivable. Two of the officers
:03:32. > :03:39.giving evidence described how they rushed to the scene of the gunfire
:03:40. > :03:49.to assist. The guardsmen told the court from a window he could see the
:03:50. > :03:58.two Afghan uniformed policeman engaged in the banter running from
:03:59. > :04:12.the scene. Corporal McCarthy and Lance Corporal Davies for part of a
:04:13. > :04:27.police advisory team but they had been alongside the Afghan uniform
:04:28. > :04:39.police. They were providing security while their commanding officer was
:04:40. > :04:48.in a meeting. The inquest will continue tomorrow. Three servicemen
:04:49. > :04:57.will take to the stand tomorrow to give evidence and the family will be
:04:58. > :05:05.hoping for answers to their questions about his death.
:05:06. > :05:13.A man from Milton Keynes who admitted raping a pensioner with
:05:14. > :05:22.dementia after breaking into her Oxford home has been sentenced to 15
:05:23. > :05:30.years in prison. Daniel Smith attacked the bedridden woman in her
:05:31. > :05:37.eighties last December. Today a judge at Oxford Crown Court said
:05:38. > :05:47.Smith, who had 30 previous convictions, had carried out a vile
:05:48. > :05:54.and despicable crime and posed a serious risk of committing a similar
:05:55. > :06:02.offence. 23`year`old Smith will also have to sign the sex offenders'
:06:03. > :06:11.register. We're all used to consulting medical experts when we
:06:12. > :06:17.need them, but now the NHS wants to consult us.
:06:18. > :06:27.With tight budgets and demand for services continuing to rise, the NHS
:06:28. > :06:34.in Oxfordshire is now seeking ourviews on where, and how, it
:06:35. > :06:42.should make savings. Officials have announced plans to spend the next
:06:43. > :06:49.couple of months listening to our views on which services we value
:06:50. > :07:01.most. Tom Turrell's been looking into the issue and is here now. They
:07:02. > :07:10.want to know which bits we like and hold onto, and which bits we are
:07:11. > :07:20.less bothered about, so they can tweak or cut them. They are in this
:07:21. > :07:28.situation because the NHS budget in Oxfordshire has flat lined, it
:07:29. > :07:36.hasn't got any bigger. Demand has risen year`on`year. We are a growing
:07:37. > :07:46.elderly population, we will live longer than our parents, and the
:07:47. > :07:55.price of drugs is rising. Of the 650 million budget every year the demand
:07:56. > :08:09.is rising by about five seven. Before we make any changes at all I
:08:10. > :08:20.would like to know what they really like, what they don't mind. That is
:08:21. > :08:30.what this process of ASCII men to come to meetings is all about. It is
:08:31. > :08:34.a complicated area. We will engage people as widely as possible.
:08:35. > :08:51.We will know more after the Building work to transform the
:08:52. > :08:58.emergency department at the Great Western Hospital in Swindon will now
:08:59. > :09:05.be complete by Christmas, that's five months ahead of schedule. The
:09:06. > :09:13.?1 million refurbishment includes a complete redesign of the accident
:09:14. > :09:18.and emergency department, as well as the creation of a specialist
:09:19. > :09:25.childrens' unit. A flood alert has been issued for
:09:26. > :09:28.stretches of the River Evenlode through the Cotswolds into
:09:29. > :09:35.Oxfordshire. River levels will rise and flooding
:09:36. > :09:45.is possible. It made reach its banks. Flooding of holdings seems
:09:46. > :09:56.unlikely. Further showers are expected.
:09:57. > :10:09.The weather will be coming up later. improve traffic flow and safety for
:10:10. > :10:12.drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. Still to come in this evening's
:10:13. > :10:16.South Today: Just keep your eye on the ball ` the wind is up and the
:10:17. > :10:27.Saints' goalkeeper is left red`faced. It is expected that the
:10:28. > :10:29.cost of building the Royal Navy's latest aircraft carriers will
:10:30. > :10:32.increase to ?6.2 billion. When the contract was first
:10:33. > :10:35.announced six years ago, the projected cost was around half that
:10:36. > :10:39.figure at ?3.5 billion. The defence project is one of the biggest ever
:10:40. > :10:42.undertaken in the UK and has been beset by construction and design
:10:43. > :10:46.delays. Both carriers are to be partially built in Portsmouth and it
:10:47. > :10:55.will be a decade before they come into service.
:10:56. > :10:58.The Medmerry coastal defence scheme, near Selsey in West Sussex, has been
:10:59. > :11:01.opened officially today. The sea has been allowed to flood a
:11:02. > :11:05.large area that had been protected by a shingle bank for hundreds of
:11:06. > :11:08.years. Back in September, the Environment Agency breached the
:11:09. > :11:11.shingle bank to create the largest coastal realignment in modern
:11:12. > :11:14.British history. The sea is now held back by a new bank inland. The
:11:15. > :11:21.flooded land will become salt marsh and is being managed by the RSPB as
:11:22. > :11:25.a nature reserve. Imagine being given just six weeks'
:11:26. > :11:30.notice that you were being evicted from your home. That's what happened
:11:31. > :11:33.to the residents of the Wiltshire village of Imber back in 1943. They
:11:34. > :11:37.were removed from their homes so the village could be used for training
:11:38. > :11:40.troops and never allowed to live there again. So, when the remaining
:11:41. > :11:43.former residents and their families went back on the 70th anniversary of
:11:44. > :11:52.that departure it was a bitter`sweet return. Laura Lyon reports.
:11:53. > :11:55.Saint Giles Church in the village of Imber looks and sounds like any
:11:56. > :12:03.other, except it doesn't have any parishioners. These sisters can only
:12:04. > :12:08.ten to their parents grave when the villages opened up to the public by
:12:09. > :12:14.the Ministry of Defence. Mums favourite colour was red. We always
:12:15. > :12:17.try to put red around. At the beginning of November 1943 residents
:12:18. > :12:22.received letters from the War office telling them to leave their homes
:12:23. > :12:28.within six weeks. In the middle of Salisbury plain, the village was
:12:29. > :12:33.ideal for American troops to train. The sister still remember the impact
:12:34. > :12:47.of those letters arriving. I can remember my mum being really upset.
:12:48. > :12:51.She just sat there and cried stop this family still enjoys making the
:12:52. > :12:55.annual pilgrimage. When we used a comeback in the first few years, you
:12:56. > :13:01.did meet up with people that you could remember. The years have gone
:13:02. > :13:06.by, and you don't see anyone about. There are not many left. The
:13:07. > :13:11.families were rehoused across a wide area. Generations later younger
:13:12. > :13:18.relatives make the trip to explore their ancestors homes. We came to
:13:19. > :13:24.see our cousins. And to know more about her family. The church is one
:13:25. > :13:28.of the only buildings left in its original form. Others remain out of
:13:29. > :13:36.bounds, still used for military training.
:13:37. > :13:46.On Friday. Now on Friday you may remember we
:13:47. > :13:50.asked you to help us find a woman from the Isle of Wight. She'd left a
:13:51. > :13:53.touching note on the grave of her grandfather, who died in the first
:13:54. > :13:57.World War. Well, we've found her. The grave is of Private George
:13:58. > :14:00.Hanlon and its in the Howard Davis Park Military Cemetery in Jersey. On
:14:01. > :14:04.the grave was a note that simply said, Dear Great Granddad. We have
:14:05. > :14:07.found you at last. From Rosie. Rosie turns out to be Rosie Weston, who
:14:08. > :14:11.now lives in Normandy. I always thought it was so sad that he was so
:14:12. > :14:16.far away and no one could visit him. I asked them, my husband and his
:14:17. > :14:23.friend, to go and have a look for him. They find the grave. We
:14:24. > :14:33.prepared the new beforehand and too good with us with the plastic rules.
:14:34. > :14:37.In case you're wondering, Rosie wasn't watching us in Normandy ` it
:14:38. > :14:40.was her sister, who still lives on the Isle of Wight, who put us in
:14:41. > :14:54.touch after seeing Friday's programme. Now, this sport. Picture
:14:55. > :14:59.the scene, a rock`solid defence, then this happens. Let's take a look
:15:00. > :15:01.at the moment. This is just a few seconds after kick`off at the
:15:02. > :15:07.Britannia stadium, Boruc done by the bounce, it seems. It was only the
:15:08. > :15:16.third goal Saints have conceded all season, certainly the most bizarre,
:15:17. > :15:20.and it put them behind. It has happened before, Peter Shilton in
:15:21. > :15:23.1967. In form Jay Rodriguex planted this header into the ground and
:15:24. > :15:26.eventually into the net to equalise for Saints before half`time. They're
:15:27. > :15:36.sixth in the table. Here's Boruc. Obviously it was windy. After the
:15:37. > :15:52.points I realised I was in the middle of nowhere. They need to try
:15:53. > :15:57.to stay focused on the next game. Some people run me to tell me about
:15:58. > :16:04.Peter Shilton in 1967, so thanks for that. Reading harbour hopes of a
:16:05. > :16:07.swift return to the Premier League and, although they were beaten 5`2
:16:08. > :16:09.at Sheffield Wednesday, manager Nigel Adkins took a lot of heart
:16:10. > :16:12.from the performance. Matty Fryatt scored twice on the
:16:13. > :16:17.day, former Royal Michail Antonio with a good finish. Pavel Pogrebnyak
:16:18. > :16:26.with a header. Unlucky, before half`time. Sean Morrison with an own
:16:27. > :16:38.goal. Wednesday went further ahead, so Adam Le Fondre's penalty was a
:16:39. > :16:42.consolation. It is hard when you get beaten 5`2, but you actually played
:16:43. > :16:47.all right. Well done to Sheffield Wednesday. They have had to wait a
:16:48. > :16:52.long time for this. They got a thumping victory. We know that we
:16:53. > :16:55.have to do better. We will start again on Monday morning. We will try
:16:56. > :17:49.to This started with a bang. It should
:17:50. > :18:13.have been enough to make them safe. There was an exciting finale. It was
:18:14. > :18:16.times. John O'Flynn turned in a deep cross. Carson redeemed himself with
:18:17. > :18:19.a couple of late saves. Portsmouth held on.
:18:20. > :18:22.Two Hamble`based yachtsmen will have to wait three more days before being
:18:23. > :18:26.able to start the Transat Jacques Vabre yacht race from France to
:18:27. > :18:30.Brazil. The start of the race has been delayed for a second time due
:18:31. > :18:33.to bad weather. Our reporter Andy Breare has been speaking to Sam
:18:34. > :18:35.Goodchild and his co`skipper, Ned Collier Wakefield, in Le Havre today
:18:36. > :18:40.After news of another delay, there has been a despondent mood in the
:18:41. > :18:45.race village today. Le Havre was battered by 70 Malabar wins. The
:18:46. > :18:54.skipper says that the postponement is understandable. He understand why
:18:55. > :19:01.it is made. You just want to get on with it. If we had an option to go
:19:02. > :19:05.in later wins, then let's take it. I want to race, like everyone else,
:19:06. > :19:14.and you want everyone to have the same chance of winning `` 70 Malabar
:19:15. > :19:22.wins might not let everyone finish! They couldn't start the race today
:19:23. > :19:28.because of the high winds. The race was postponed until Thursday. It
:19:29. > :19:34.actually happened two years ago as well. There are a lot of owner
:19:35. > :19:42.drivers, as we call them, in this class. The lasting you want to do is
:19:43. > :19:45.go out and lose all your investment. 80% of the fleet didn't want to
:19:46. > :19:52.leave. For us it is the right decision. The last thing we want to
:19:53. > :19:57.do is go and break our boat. If we can sail in later wins, we will be
:19:58. > :20:05.happier. The frustrating game continues, then, as they prepare to
:20:06. > :20:08.race to Brazil on Thursday. Elsewhere this weekend, James
:20:09. > :20:10.O'Connor produced what London Irish director of rugby Brian Smith
:20:11. > :20:13.described as an outstanding display on his debut for the club.
:20:14. > :20:16.The exiles were beaten by Northampton on Saturday. O'Connor
:20:17. > :20:20.set up Salosi Tangithaibau for the Exiles's only try of the match. And
:20:21. > :20:33.the game was even until a late try from the visitors. Meanwhile,
:20:34. > :20:36.Basingstoke Bison held off the challenge of Peterborough on
:20:37. > :20:39.Saturday night to claim a 5`2 win and stay second in ice hockey's
:20:40. > :20:43.Premier League. The fifth goal came from Tomas Karpov, his second on the
:20:44. > :20:46.night. Now it's that time of year again `
:20:47. > :20:50.the bear's big night out for Children In Need at Beaulieu is just
:20:51. > :20:54.11 days away, This week, we'll be looking at how the money you gave so
:20:55. > :20:57.generously last year has been used across the South, starting tonight
:20:58. > :21:00.with a look at projects in Portsmouth, the Thames Valley, and
:21:01. > :21:06.first, the Isle of Wight. This project at Newport supports parents
:21:07. > :21:12.with anxiety or depression issues, to make sure that the children get
:21:13. > :21:18.all the care that they need. They give us ?6,471. We provide to 40
:21:19. > :21:23.family groups for families who are vulnerable and isolated. It might be
:21:24. > :21:27.that their parents are suffering from anxiety or depression which
:21:28. > :21:41.means going to agribusiness would be difficult for them. It is lovely to
:21:42. > :21:56.see her family coming together and be helped. To know that help is out
:21:57. > :22:03.there is amazing. This is the only charity in Berks to help those who
:22:04. > :22:11.have been told they are HIV`positive. The money has allowed
:22:12. > :22:17.them to hire a youth worker. HIV is a manageable condition, but the
:22:18. > :22:24.shock of having the diagnosis can be devastating. You can get on with
:22:25. > :22:29.your life. We got ?94,000 over three years. To what is the door and meet
:22:30. > :22:33.other people who are positive as well, you can see the relief on
:22:34. > :22:44.their fierce. They can be themselves here and just have fun stop it
:22:45. > :22:50.really makes a difference. Think of Pompey, and you probably
:22:51. > :22:54.think of the role. The culture number of different sports, and as
:22:55. > :23:00.well as focus on fitness, it is about building confidence and
:23:01. > :23:06.friendships. Children in Need funded us ?44,500 for a two`year project
:23:07. > :23:10.that aims to offer an `` an inclusive after`school club,
:23:11. > :23:13.increased their friendship groups, increased their physical activity
:23:14. > :23:19.and increase their confidence. We have seen a real difference. We have
:23:20. > :23:31.seen lots of smiles at the end of sessions, which is fantastic to see.
:23:32. > :23:34.It was an exciting night of dance, music and song at the Mayflower
:23:35. > :23:38.Theatre in Southampton last night. All to raise money for Children in
:23:39. > :23:41.Need and they did really well. The touring caste and backstage crew of
:23:42. > :23:44.Ghost the Musical took the Strictly idea and performed brilliantly.
:23:45. > :23:48.Among the judges were actor Nigel Harman and Jason Donovan. And Sally
:23:49. > :23:54.was also there to get it off to a roaring start. Here's a flavour of
:23:55. > :24:08.the night! You have a treat in store tonight!
:24:09. > :24:22.I thought Jack was let down by the girls, because he was that good! It
:24:23. > :24:29.is always nice to get out there and sing songs. Great to see here
:24:30. > :24:47.supporting it. Jason Donovan was singing on stage! Really good!
:24:48. > :25:02.Here is a cheque for ?36,000! That is incredible!
:25:03. > :25:10.I think that is amazing. An amazing amount of money. You have all done
:25:11. > :25:16.fantastically well. Let's get straight on to the weather.
