Hello, and welcome to South today. In tonight's programme, putting a

:00:00.:00:15.

stop to female circumcision. The NHS names Oxford as a high risk area for

:00:16.:00:22.

women. Also coming up, Swindon promises a safety review. Later in

:00:23.:00:28.

the programme, the life`saving heart that could help those who suffer

:00:29.:00:29.

heart attacks. Good evening. Oxford's been named by

:00:30.:00:47.

the NHS is a high risk area for the illegal practice of what was called

:00:48.:00:52.

female circumcision. The police say they have had nine possible cases of

:00:53.:00:56.

female genital mutilation reported to them in the last four years.

:00:57.:01:01.

Campaigners say the true figure is much higher. Tackling the practice

:01:02.:01:04.

will now be made a priority in our region by the police and crime

:01:05.:01:09.

commission. The report contains some upsetting details. As a

:01:10.:01:15.

nine`year`old in Zimbabwe, Abigail was told by her crying to inflict

:01:16.:01:21.

one of the least forms of female circumcision on herself.

:01:22.:01:30.

I can still remember now the pain that seared through me, and I was

:01:31.:01:33.

saying to myself, I'm not going to do this, even if it means for

:01:34.:01:39.

getting angry with me. I'm not going to do this, because it was so

:01:40.:01:42.

painful. Abigail is now campaigning to stop

:01:43.:01:48.

it happening to girls here. The NHS says Oxford and Milton Keynes are

:01:49.:01:53.

both high risk areas. Nine cases, which may have involved best have

:01:54.:01:59.

been reported in the last four years. Tackling it will be made

:02:00.:02:04.

priority in the crime plan for the Thames Valley. I'm worried about

:02:05.:02:09.

this in certain communities, but we have not had a single prosecution.

:02:10.:02:14.

It is time that we get. It is difficult for the police to find

:02:15.:02:20.

these cases. Were not quantifying this by ourselves. The long`term

:02:21.:02:28.

health effects can be physically and emotionally devastating. Abigail

:02:29.:02:31.

believes that working with communities at a local level. More

:02:32.:02:40.

girls becoming victims. It is not a medical procedure that adds any

:02:41.:02:43.

value to any women's lives. It is child abuse. Helen told me a little

:02:44.:02:49.

earlier that there is no call for better education in schools.

:02:50.:02:54.

As you heard on the report, the Police Commissioner thinks it is

:02:55.:02:56.

going to take more than just police work to MS crying `` to bring best

:02:57.:03:04.

crime to light and to successfully prosecute. County councillor has

:03:05.:03:09.

also added his voice to this, speaking on the Sunday Politics

:03:10.:03:13.

yesterday, saying that schools must be more vigilant and know how to

:03:14.:03:17.

report cases. What about the health service? They also said that the NHS

:03:18.:03:24.

needs to have a think again about confidentiality rules. The example

:03:25.:03:28.

he gave was that if you have an older sibling who has had this and

:03:29.:03:33.

the authorities now, the authorities should protect younger siblings.

:03:34.:03:38.

It's certainly an issue that has had a lot of little traction recently,

:03:39.:03:42.

and the Home Affairs Select Committee is said it will raise a

:03:43.:03:48.

investigation about this. Thanks very much.

:03:49.:03:55.

Motorists on the M 40 have faced hours of disruptions after a lorry

:03:56.:03:59.

carrying 14 tonnes of April rolls crashed into the central

:04:00.:04:02.

reservation. It happened at junction ten before three of court this

:04:03.:04:08.

morning. Barrier was destroyed and the vehicle split its full stomach

:04:09.:04:14.

fuel tanks. Recovery was able to stay be started before midday, but

:04:15.:04:18.

the operation has continued. Some people have been caught up in the

:04:19.:04:21.

daily for three hours, and in the past half hour, there have been

:04:22.:04:24.

ports offer for Clark accident in the queue.

:04:25.:04:30.

A women has been charged by police after a train struck a car on a

:04:31.:04:38.

level crossing. The women has been bailed to appear before Oxford Crown

:04:39.:04:41.

Court on the 6th of December. She has been charged of endangering

:04:42.:04:46.

safety on the railways without intent.

:04:47.:04:50.

Swindon Town football fan arrested after running onto the pitch and

:04:51.:04:54.

allegedly punching the opposition goalkeeper has been released on

:04:55.:04:57.

bail. Swindon will review its safety

:04:58.:05:02.

features, but could face an investigation.

:05:03.:05:06.

This is where the individual concerned was watching the game.

:05:07.:05:14.

Supporters are separated from the action by a narrow gangway, and this

:05:15.:05:19.

three feet high harrier. He claimed over it to get onto the pitch. It

:05:20.:05:24.

was near the end of the game winner 20 sexual man confronted the

:05:25.:05:30.

audience goalkeeper. He was unhurt. The ugly scenes were bought to an

:05:31.:05:39.

end by Stewart Dominic stewards. A man was arrested and later bailed. I

:05:40.:05:44.

haven't seen a scene like that for a long, long time. Football matches

:05:45.:05:49.

shouldn't have this kind of occurrence. He should be banned.

:05:50.:05:55.

Swindon have apologised and I saying they are happy with how they be

:05:56.:05:59.

acted. We reviewed the CC TV footage, and the stewards reacted

:06:00.:06:08.

very quickly. Wiltshire Police can also verify that and the referee in

:06:09.:06:15.

his report. The football Association have verified the happy with the

:06:16.:06:19.

action taken. Earlier this season, 31 people were charged over

:06:20.:06:27.

disruption at the distal Derby. The football Association say they are

:06:28.:06:31.

now speaking to both clubs before they take any further action, and

:06:32.:06:36.

Swindon have confirmed they have indefinitely suspended the

:06:37.:06:39.

individual from attending matches here until the legal process is

:06:40.:06:42.

completed. And we will have all the action from

:06:43.:06:46.

this weekend a little later in South today with Sally.

:06:47.:06:52.

A Greenpeace activist has been released from a Russian prison who

:06:53.:06:56.

he has been held for two months. Philip Ball, who is a member of the

:06:57.:07:00.

Arctic 30 is fizzing hooliganism charges after protesting in

:07:01.:07:05.

September. He was granted bail on Friday, but has been released today

:07:06.:07:11.

by a court in St Petersburg. I will be calling everyone I can as soon as

:07:12.:07:14.

I can. At this stage, there's nothing I can say. I'm pleased to be

:07:15.:07:20.

out of there, but I got the and was much more pleased to be out of the

:07:21.:07:24.

previous place which was a hellhole, but, yeah, I just want to go and

:07:25.:07:29.

meet the rest of the guys, the rest of the 30, and move onto the next

:07:30.:07:34.

stage. Campaigners against the planned

:07:35.:07:40.

high`speed rail line which will cut through children have taken their

:07:41.:07:43.

protest to Westminster today. It comes as the full details for the

:07:44.:07:49.

plan for the HS2 link between London and Birmingham are published.

:07:50.:07:52.

Hundreds of copies of the legislation which sets out exactly

:07:53.:07:55.

what would be built and where are to be distributed to those living near

:07:56.:08:01.

the right. You can't deny the Paralympic games were in many ways a

:08:02.:08:04.

huge success. The showcase the best sporting

:08:05.:08:07.

talent from throughout the world, but what about its legacy? Are more

:08:08.:08:12.

disabled people taking part in athletics? A recent report by the

:08:13.:08:16.

House of Lords found there is little evidence of that, but that does not

:08:17.:08:20.

seem to be true in Buckinghamshire, where participation is said to have

:08:21.:08:24.

dramatically increased. It was only 11 months ago when an

:08:25.:08:28.

accident at work changed 25`year`old Josh's life for ever. This year in

:08:29.:08:37.

January, I had an accident, where I fell down 15`20 steps and smashed my

:08:38.:08:42.

spine. He is said to be many in Buckinghamshire who refused the

:08:43.:08:48.

Paralympic games as an inspiration. The Paralympic events were really

:08:49.:08:53.

exploit Dominic inspiring `` inspiring, and I draw on that

:08:54.:08:58.

inspiration and identify how you can use that in May at rehabilitation.

:08:59.:09:08.

Here at halting tennis centre, they have seen a 300% rise in the number

:09:09.:09:12.

of disabled tennis players since the start of the year. But according to

:09:13.:09:17.

an influential group of peers in the House of Lords, the Paralympic games

:09:18.:09:20.

is not inspiring enough people across the UK as it promised that it

:09:21.:09:26.

would. A few miles up the road at this stadium, where people say that

:09:27.:09:30.

is not bear it experience. They have seen a 50% increase in disabled

:09:31.:09:35.

people using the facilities in the last year alone. Locally, there was

:09:36.:09:41.

great momentum following the Paralympic games. It has had a great

:09:42.:09:47.

impact on us, and we have seen interest increasing with disabled

:09:48.:09:50.

people trying to find out where they can play sport. There has been more

:09:51.:09:55.

in schools as well with young people interested in copying their

:09:56.:09:59.

Paralympic heroes. So participation in Buckinghamshire may be on the up,

:10:00.:10:06.

but if the legacy is going inspire generation, more work needs done.

:10:07.:10:17.

Finally, you may have heard the term bijo being used to describe a

:10:18.:10:25.

property, but this takes the biscuit! This pint sized property

:10:26.:10:32.

has been listed on an estate agent 's website. That is all for me. I

:10:33.:10:39.

will have the headlines at 8pm. Now, more of today's stories with Sally

:10:40.:10:40.

Taylor. The authority says it was a decision

:10:41.:10:44.

taken by the full council. Still to come: All change at

:10:45.:10:48.

Portsmouth Football Club as manager Guy Whittingham is sacked.

:10:49.:10:57.

The winter vomiting bug Norovirus has forced the closure of more wards

:10:58.:11:00.

at Southampton General Hospital. Seven wards have now been shut as a

:11:01.:11:05.

precaution. The highly contagious bug is airborne and hospital

:11:06.:11:08.

managers have advised people not to visit if they have had any sickness

:11:09.:11:12.

or diarrhoea symptoms in the last 48 hours.

:11:13.:11:18.

Smartphone applications, or apps as they're called, can be used for all

:11:19.:11:23.

sorts of handy tasks. Now there's one that could help treat a cardiac

:11:24.:11:27.

arrest. South Central Ambulance Service has designed a free tool

:11:28.:11:29.

that locates defibrillators, increasingly kept in public places

:11:30.:11:32.

like train stations, surgeries and shopping centres. The Service says

:11:33.:11:39.

it has no doubt the app will save lives.

:11:40.:11:47.

An emotional reunion for Colin and the lady who saved his life. Six

:11:48.:11:52.

years ago Colin collapsed with a cardiac arrest while coaching

:11:53.:11:54.

football at his local leisure centre. I am absolutely certain that

:11:55.:12:04.

if it did not happen here and the staff did not intervene in the way

:12:05.:12:08.

that they did, I definitely would not be here today. My youngest son

:12:09.:12:13.

was only two years old when I had my heart attack. If I had died, he

:12:14.:12:20.

would not know who I was. Now he is eight and he knows who I am and I am

:12:21.:12:23.

still here and I have watched my children grow up and they have had a

:12:24.:12:27.

dad. A defibrillator helped keep Colin alive. Now finding one should

:12:28.:12:30.

be easier. South Central Ambulance Service has designed a phone app

:12:31.:12:33.

that shows where nearby machines are kept. It is very easy. You click on

:12:34.:12:42.

the app itself and what it will do is it will tell us where we are and

:12:43.:12:49.

where are the rest if regulator is `` rainiest defibrillator. We have

:12:50.:12:52.

people who unquestionably would have been dead were not for you

:12:53.:13:02.

defibrillator. I have managed to find a defibrillator. I am assured

:13:03.:13:11.

it is easy`to`use. Plug in the pad connector next to the flashing

:13:12.:13:17.

light. It is incredibly straightforward to use, but this is

:13:18.:13:21.

where I need to start first aid with test impressions, two minutes of

:13:22.:13:26.

this and then the defibrillator will tell me to stop. Of course the

:13:27.:13:29.

Ambulance Service treats cardiac arrest as a top priority, but it's

:13:30.:13:33.

convinced the app will help at the scene of an emergency until expert

:13:34.:13:39.

help arrives. The magical world of Harry Potter

:13:40.:13:42.

has enchanted fans for years, now Hogwarts is coming to life in

:13:43.:13:46.

Florida, in part thanks to a company from West Sussex. Limehouse Lamp

:13:47.:13:50.

Company is providing nearly 300 lights for the Harry Potter

:13:51.:14:02.

Experience at Universal Studios. Everything here is done by hand and

:14:03.:14:07.

everything has to be perfect. This factory makes traditional English

:14:08.:14:10.

lights, just right for the Harry Potter franchise. Those sort of

:14:11.:14:16.

clients in this day and age are very hard to find any mass produce

:14:17.:14:24.

market. It is nice but an American company has come all the way to

:14:25.:14:28.

England to find us and use as and procure what they want through us.

:14:29.:14:35.

The lights are heading to Orlando, 270 of them. The theme park is home

:14:36.:14:52.

to the popular Harry Potter event. It has made a considerable increase

:14:53.:14:55.

to the company. I have worked in many situations and the art of hand

:14:56.:15:02.

making things is dying off, so to be able to work in an industry that I

:15:03.:15:07.

trained in for most of my life for large customers doing large projects

:15:08.:15:11.

means that we continue on that tradition of handmade culture. A

:15:12.:15:17.

team of 12 is finishing, preparing and polishing the final few. It has

:15:18.:15:22.

to be sent by the end of the month, ready for next year.

:15:23.:15:34.

In the last hour, we have been hearing that Guy Whittingham has

:15:35.:15:38.

been sacked. Is this a surprise? I think these things are always a

:15:39.:15:42.

little bit surprising and it comes down to timing.

:15:43.:15:47.

People will always bring out the word panic. A few weeks ago the mood

:15:48.:15:54.

was that things were OK. Suddenly we get this news in the last hour or so

:15:55.:15:58.

that he is gone. Do they have anybody in their sites?

:15:59.:16:03.

They would not do it without, which they?

:16:04.:16:08.

No, you would sense that somebody will be employed fairly soon. I

:16:09.:16:12.

understand Guy Whittingham was left stunned by the decision to sack him.

:16:13.:16:18.

He took training today. These are library pictures. It is known that

:16:19.:16:23.

some boardroom figures had expressed disappointment at recent results in

:16:24.:16:27.

all competitions. They had lost their last four games. He did his

:16:28.:16:32.

regular pre`match press conference ahead of tomorrow night's game and

:16:33.:16:35.

he was called to a meeting where he was informed he was being sacked.

:16:36.:16:44.

They have placed someone in charge for tomorrow night's game.

:16:45.:16:50.

Portsmouth have expressed gratitude for his service which included

:16:51.:16:54.

stealing them through last season's Administration `` steering. Guy

:16:55.:17:00.

Whittingham no longer the Portsmouth manager. We will wait to see who

:17:01.:17:06.

they could bring in. From Portsmouth to Southampton, and their manager

:17:07.:17:09.

refused to place the blame on his goalkeeper after his mistake gifted

:17:10.:17:19.

Arsenal a call on Saturday. Here he was trying to do his

:17:20.:17:22.

skills, he turns left, he turns right, he has not had a great month.

:17:23.:17:36.

A real mess. That put Southampton 1`0 down. He has not had a great

:17:37.:17:44.

time. This was at Stoke. Right after kick`off, he was beaten by the

:17:45.:17:48.

bouncing ball. This was in earlier this month. Let us not forget that

:17:49.:17:57.

it balances out. He has made some fantastic saves this reason. He does

:17:58.:18:04.

retain the face of a lot of the fans full is that is the second goal

:18:05.:18:10.

Arsenal scored to make it 2`0. Southampton

:18:11.:18:31.

The Aussies crossly Sean Rigg at times he took to double the lead,

:18:32.:18:35.

and the man from down under went up and over the keeper to wrap`up the

:18:36.:18:40.

game with number three. In league one, Swindon have slipped out of the

:18:41.:18:44.

play`off places despite a promising start against Leyton Orient. Josie

:18:45.:18:50.

gave an early lead, but David Mooney locks home for the equaliser.

:18:51.:18:55.

Audience's Moses on appeal showed he had no problem parting the red line.

:18:56.:19:07.

Swindon finished with ten men. It was also a bad day for MK dons.

:19:08.:19:12.

Bradford gained the lead, before Patrick Bamford restored things. A

:19:13.:19:20.

penalty from MK's Shaun Williams raised the home side's hopes, but it

:19:21.:19:24.

was Bamford who finish things. only lasted about four minutes. The

:19:25.:19:31.

winner came 20 minutes from the end. Portsmouth are 18th in the table.

:19:32.:19:37.

Guy Whittingham sacked by Portsmouth in the last hour.

:19:38.:19:40.

In rugby's Premiership, London Irish were beaten by Leicester. The exiles

:19:41.:19:43.

lost to two penalty tries at Welford Road. Australian James O'Connor

:19:44.:19:46.

kicked two penalties on the day and Irish went over through Mulchrone

:19:47.:19:50.

but it was in vain and Irish remain one off the bottom of the table.

:19:51.:19:58.

Bracknell handed Gilford a surprise defeat in the ice hockey Premier

:19:59.:20:04.

League. It was the second consecutive home shutout. 6`0. A

:20:05.:20:07.

dominant display. Southampton held its first junior

:20:08.:20:11.

fun run this weekend after the city was chosen as a venue for one of

:20:12.:20:14.

only six national free weekly runs for children. Around 70 youngsters,

:20:15.:20:18.

some just four years old, turned out to run the two kilometre timed event

:20:19.:20:21.

at Riverside Park. The junior series comes after a successful adult

:20:22.:20:24.

series, run every week in locations across the UK and worldwide.

:20:25.:20:36.

Three fun for kids, what could be more infighting? This is aimed at

:20:37.:20:43.

children between four and 14 and is a two column at timed run around

:20:44.:20:46.

Riverside Park in Southampton. We are one of the first open this

:20:47.:20:53.

weekend. We are really proud to have been chosen. The idea is to bring as

:20:54.:20:57.

many children into running and enjoying themselves on a Sunday

:20:58.:21:01.

morning. There are now six junior park runs that enable people to

:21:02.:21:05.

exercise in a safe and controlled environment. This is about the

:21:06.:21:09.

children's future and to be able to inspire children to take up exercise

:21:10.:21:13.

especially with the reports of obesity nowadays. It is run entirely

:21:14.:21:19.

by volunteers and will take place every week, whatever the weather.

:21:20.:21:24.

Quite tiring, but quite fun. You can keep fit. We do not like running.

:21:25.:21:37.

Too fast. I run faster than William. Who wants to do it next week? Me is

:21:38.:21:51.

the mission . Tomorrow night we'll be meeting

:21:52.:21:56.

Olympic snowboarder Billy Morgan. I caught up with the Southampton

:21:57.:22:00.

athlete as he recovers from injury ahead of what will be a big winter

:22:01.:22:04.

for him with the X`Games and then the Olympics. We'll also show you

:22:05.:22:08.

the incredible trick which has stunned the snowboarding world.

:22:09.:22:22.

Now, the milkman. The man who delivers milk to your door every

:22:23.:22:25.

day, whatever the weather, is becoming an endangered species these

:22:26.:22:28.

days. The advent of convenience stores and supermarkets mean milk is

:22:29.:22:31.

easily available almost 24/7, so for a milkman to flourish the service

:22:32.:22:35.

has to be pretty special. So how special does that make Kevin Dyer

:22:36.:22:38.

from Farnborough in Hampshire, whose doorstep delivery has just earned

:22:39.:22:48.

him the title Milkman of the Year? As most of us turn in for the night,

:22:49.:22:55.

Kevin's day is about to begin. He prepares to head out on his milk

:22:56.:23:00.

round just after midnight. It is a job he has been doing for a quarter

:23:01.:23:03.

of a century. His career was very nearly cut short. I should have been

:23:04.:23:09.

off work for about a week or so for routine surgery and I contracted

:23:10.:23:19.

MRSA and subsequently I lost my hip and I had two years off work and I

:23:20.:23:24.

was told I would probably not be able to do the job again. It is now

:23:25.:23:29.

supplies his delivery round is number one because not only did he

:23:30.:23:34.

beat the medical odds, this month he was named Milkman of the Year.

:23:35.:23:38.

Veronica was one of more than 400 customers who put him up for the

:23:39.:23:43.

accolade. He is always ready to have a chat if you need to. He is always

:23:44.:23:49.

there for you. He is a super guy. This time of year, Kevin does not

:23:50.:23:54.
