so it's goodbye from me, and on BBC One, we now join the BBC's news

:00:00.3:59:59

teams where Hello and welcome to South Today

:00:00.:00:00.

from Oxford. In tonight's programme... All pain and no gain `

:00:00.:00:10.

pleas for the impact of the HS2 rail line through Buckinghamshire to be

:00:11.:00:14.

reduced. Also... On trial ` the Swindon

:00:15.:00:18.

striker, Nile Ranger, appears in court accused of raping a woman in a

:00:19.:00:22.

hotel. The show must go on ` the curtain

:00:23.:00:25.

comes down on the Winter Olympics but Aylesbury children find out

:00:26.:00:29.

there's more fireworks on the way in Sochi. You are the first school in

:00:30.:00:39.

the country to see this torch. The only one in the UK.

:00:40.:00:42.

And later on, find out what role conkers played in helping the navy

:00:43.:00:46.

fire their big guns in the Great War.

:00:47.:00:56.

Good evening. Campaigners have described it as "all pain, no gain"

:00:57.:01:01.

but now officials in Buckinghamshire are calling on the Government to

:01:02.:01:04.

minimise the impact of the controversial high`speed rail line,

:01:05.:01:08.

HS2. A series of requests to limit the effects of the railway have been

:01:09.:01:12.

endorsed by the county council. They include more tunnelling, a new

:01:13.:01:15.

relief road and designated areas to be protected. Our political

:01:16.:01:20.

reporter, Helen Catt, has more. If the HS2 projects remains on

:01:21.:01:23.

track, high`speed trains could be running through the Buckinghamshire

:01:24.:01:27.

countryside from 2026. That's not what local authorities want. But, if

:01:28.:01:31.

they can't stop the line, they at least want to lessen its possible

:01:32.:01:35.

impact and have come up with a list of demands for the Government.

:01:36.:01:38.

Firstly, it says tunnelling shouldn't stop at Little Missenden.

:01:39.:01:43.

It wants the track to stay underground through the Chilterns to

:01:44.:01:45.

Wendover, at an estimated cost of ?200 million. Further up the line,

:01:46.:01:51.

it wants a linear park to provide a sort of green buffer between

:01:52.:01:54.

Aylesbury and the train route. And, in the north of the county, it wants

:01:55.:01:59.

a country park and a new station, not on this line but on the

:02:00.:02:02.

East`West Rail link The idea is to stop workers at a planned HS2

:02:03.:02:05.

maintenance depot at Calvert from clogging up nearby roads. We think

:02:06.:02:15.

these are the minimum we should be accepting it we are to have HS2

:02:16.:02:21.

through the countryside. Wherever you live, we want to see the very

:02:22.:02:28.

best protection because if this is a national piece of infrastructure,

:02:29.:02:35.

this will cost ?15 billion, we think that this will be money well spent.

:02:36.:02:41.

The council's clear its overall position on HS2 has not changed,

:02:42.:02:44.

though. The best result, it says, would be if the line just wasn't

:02:45.:02:47.

built at all. And Helen is with me now. Helen, how

:02:48.:02:51.

likely is the council to get its way over these demands?

:02:52.:02:56.

It is hard to say. The plan has the support of more than 25

:02:57.:02:59.

organisations. They describe what they are asking as non`negotiable.

:03:00.:03:04.

The thing with negotiations is you need two sides. There is no saying

:03:05.:03:07.

that the Government will think the same way. They will be put forward

:03:08.:03:12.

this Thursday. They will go to a committee of MPs who will decide

:03:13.:03:16.

what should or should not be done. It is worth a memory that anywhere

:03:17.:03:20.

along the route can do this, there are likely to be a lot of places

:03:21.:03:24.

asking for this sort of mitigation. Flooding is starting to be talked

:03:25.:03:30.

about in the same breath as HS2. In the recent floods, I'll be with

:03:31.:03:39.

particular are as macro one `` Aylesbury was particular badly

:03:40.:03:45.

flooded. I asked the leader of Buckinghamshire Council council

:03:46.:03:47.

earlier today whether he was also concerned and he says he does share

:03:48.:03:52.

the worry and they have demanded that a full flooding risk assessment

:03:53.:03:58.

is carried out. A spokesman from the project told the BBC that the track

:03:59.:04:02.

itself is designed to remain operational during a heavy flood.

:04:03.:04:06.

Tributes have been paid to a 17`year`old girl who died in a

:04:07.:04:09.

multi`vehicle crash in Waddesdon, which also left four children

:04:10.:04:13.

seriously injured. Laura Walden was in her final year at school and was

:04:14.:04:17.

looking forward to starting university. She died last Thursday

:04:18.:04:21.

in a crash on the A41. One of the other vehicles involved was a people

:04:22.:04:25.

carrier with seven children onboard. Her parents said her sudden death

:04:26.:04:28.

had left a hole in their family that would never be filled. A new adult

:04:29.:04:40.

mental health centre, costing several million pounds, has opened

:04:41.:04:45.

in Aylesbury. It is purpose designed to support patients and protect them

:04:46.:04:51.

from harm. This centre is so new even the

:04:52.:04:54.

parking bays are freshly painted. Patients with mental health issues

:04:55.:05:00.

are currently treated at three different centres across the town.

:05:01.:05:02.

From Wednesday, patients will be beginning to be sent here, where

:05:03.:05:07.

everyone will be treated under one roof. The building is the epitome of

:05:08.:05:11.

purpose will, it is designed to minute details. There are no chords

:05:12.:05:19.

on light switches or curtains and there are no shower curtains. In

:05:20.:05:25.

mental health buildings, you have to pay attention to every detail. There

:05:26.:05:31.

have been 15% cuts in recent years. Can the NHS justified this new

:05:32.:05:38.

building? There has been a history of mental health buildings being

:05:39.:05:42.

very institutional in nature and we are not functioning on modern

:05:43.:05:45.

treatments. Privacy and dignity which people need to recover if you

:05:46.:05:50.

have a serious mental health problem. What do those who use or

:05:51.:05:56.

have worked in other wards think of this building? New changes can be

:05:57.:06:03.

challenging but they will be improving staff morale. It is more

:06:04.:06:11.

like a hotel than a hospital. It was dingy before. Admissions begin this

:06:12.:06:19.

week. The Swindon Town striker player,

:06:20.:06:21.

Nile Ranger, has gone on trial accused of rape. The 22`year`old,

:06:22.:06:24.

who is appearing before Newcastle Crown Court, denies the charge. We

:06:25.:06:33.

were having full report in our late bulletin.

:06:34.:06:36.

An Oxford shop keeper has been hospitalised following an armed

:06:37.:06:39.

robbery in Littlemore. Two men went into the newsagents on the Cowley

:06:40.:06:43.

road at around 12:30pm yesterday lunchtime. One had a large knife,

:06:44.:06:47.

the other was carrying a hammer. They fled on bicycles with the till.

:06:48.:06:50.

The newsagent suffered injuries to his arm and knee.

:06:51.:06:53.

The former Buckinghamshire A woman from Oxfordshire who's

:06:54.:07:04.

become the first female Church of England priest to be made a bishop

:07:05.:07:08.

says lessons about the role of women in the church can be learnt from

:07:09.:07:11.

countries around the world. The Reverend Helen`Ann Hartley trained

:07:12.:07:14.

at Rippon College at Cuddesdon. Because she can't become a Bishop in

:07:15.:07:17.

England, she was ordained in New Zealand, where she's been living for

:07:18.:07:21.

two years. There is a lot that can be learned from the fact that the

:07:22.:07:24.

New Zealand Church values the contribution of women and men

:07:25.:07:30.

equally. Equally, they roll of being Bishop in a church is not about

:07:31.:07:41.

gender, it is based on God's call. The needy right for the role at the

:07:42.:07:46.

right time. For some of us, it's been dominating

:07:47.:07:50.

our TV screens for more than two weeks. The Winter Olympics in Russia

:07:51.:07:53.

came to a close last night with a huge firework display. There's more

:07:54.:07:56.

action to come, though, with the Paralympics due to start next month.

:07:57.:07:59.

Some lucky school children in Buckinghamshire have been the first

:08:00.:08:03.

in the UK to hold the Paralympic torch, which has travelled thousands

:08:04.:08:06.

of miles from Sochi. Adina Campbell reports.

:08:07.:08:07.

Brightly marking 16 days of Winter Olympic action. This was part of

:08:08.:08:11.

last night's closing ceremony in Sochi. But there's still more to

:08:12.:08:14.

come. The Paralympic Games are taking place here in just under two

:08:15.:08:18.

weeks. Someone who knows all about competing at the highest level is

:08:19.:08:21.

British powerlifter Chris Rattenbury, who's been visiting

:08:22.:08:23.

children at this school in Great Missinden. I think I have one over

:08:24.:08:37.

30 medals. I have been lucky to be British champion a number of times.

:08:38.:08:44.

I have been quite lucky to achieve these great things. Chris was born

:08:45.:08:48.

with spina bifida but is now one of the strongest men in the world. He

:08:49.:08:51.

can lift 171 kilograms, the equivalent of around two

:08:52.:08:56.

average`sized men. Hoping to inspire the next generation, he's come here

:08:57.:09:03.

with a special surprise. This is the only Paralympic torch in the UK at

:09:04.:09:07.

the moment and children at this school are the first to see and

:09:08.:09:11.

touch it. It's 95cm long and weighs two kilos. The colour and design

:09:12.:09:16.

represent the spirit and athleticism of Paralympians. Chris and the torch

:09:17.:09:22.

are visiting dozens of schools in Buckinghamshire over the next few

:09:23.:09:25.

weeks, hoping educate to young people about disability sports. It

:09:26.:09:35.

wasn't a normal assembly. Everyone gets really excited when someone is

:09:36.:09:39.

at the front. I'm really touched by his words and I think he is

:09:40.:09:43.

amazing. The torch will be shown off at a special Paralympic event at

:09:44.:09:55.

Stoke Mandeville this weekend. More winter sporting action next month.

:09:56.:09:58.

More South the effectiveness of boarding was

:09:59.:10:00.

inadequate. Still to come in this evening's

:10:01.:10:03.

South Today: After their team's winning ways this weekend, Gosport

:10:04.:10:05.

Borough fans prepare for Wembley. Admirers of nursing pioneer Florence

:10:06.:10:16.

Nightingale have pledged to help repair her tomb after it was damaged

:10:17.:10:21.

in the St Valentine's Day storms. A tree fell on the ten`foot`high

:10:22.:10:24.

memorial at St Margaret's Church in East Wellow near Romsey. Briony

:10:25.:10:31.

Leyland reports. For more than a hundred years, it has been a place

:10:32.:10:34.

of pilgrimage for those inspired by Florence Nightingale. Since her

:10:35.:10:42.

death in 1910 at the age of 90, fans from around the world have come to

:10:43.:10:48.

this small parish to be member. These Dutch nurses paid tribute in

:10:49.:10:51.

1930. Modern`day pilgrims are in for a shock. The family tombstone now

:10:52.:10:55.

lies beneath this tangle of storm damage, after a huge lime tree came

:10:56.:11:03.

down on Valentine's Day. The top part, a pinnacle with a cross, has

:11:04.:11:08.

been knocked off altogether. Then, the central part of the tomb, which

:11:09.:11:11.

has the initials on it, has been shifted off the pedestal. As we come

:11:12.:11:17.

out of church, we have always been able to see her grave, and now we

:11:18.:11:20.

can't. The annual service of thanksgiving for Florence

:11:21.:11:22.

Nightingale takes place each May, and the hope is by then, her

:11:23.:11:26.

tombstone can once again provide a focal point for remembering a hugely

:11:27.:11:32.

influential nursing pioneer. An investigation by the BBC's Inside

:11:33.:11:35.

Out programme has found that people living in Boscombe in Dorset fear

:11:36.:11:39.

it's becoming the drugs capital of the South. A high number of

:11:40.:11:43.

treatment centres for drug users is also being blamed for attracting

:11:44.:11:47.

more dealers to the town. Residents say something needs to be done to

:11:48.:11:50.

stop Boscombe's transient population ruining the seaside town's attempts

:11:51.:12:00.

at regeneration. I want to come out of Boscombe because it is always in

:12:01.:12:04.

your face or you have someone coming up asking if you know where to get

:12:05.:12:08.

it from. It is always in your face, it is hard Tuesday claim. `` it is

:12:09.:12:17.

hard to stay clean. Everywhere you know there will be someone there who

:12:18.:12:24.

can sell you drugs. There are not just new users, there are new

:12:25.:12:28.

dealers, everyone comes here from London because they know it is

:12:29.:12:31.

easier to sell drugs here. That's Inside Out on here on BBC One

:12:32.:12:35.

tonight at 7:30pm along with a remarkable story reuniting relatives

:12:36.:12:38.

of the crew who lost their lives in 1918 after their ship was sunk by a

:12:39.:12:45.

German U`boat off the Isle Of Wight. Onto sport now, and Tony's here.

:12:46.:12:48.

Tony, wonderful celebrations for Gosport Borough fans on Saturday.

:12:49.:12:52.

They're off to Wembley. Yes, it wasn't upset because if they got

:12:53.:12:57.

into that tie Waterloo would have been the favourites because Gosport

:12:58.:13:03.

or not favourites but it will be their first ever trip to the Wembley

:13:04.:13:06.

arch. The club expect to take around 15,000 fans to the game against

:13:07.:13:09.

Cambridge United. On Saturday, Gosport beat local rivals Havant and

:13:10.:13:12.

Waterlooville in the FA Trophy semifinal second leg. Tim Sills put

:13:13.:13:15.

Gosport ahead in first`half stoppage time, before scoring again in the

:13:16.:13:22.

60th minute to seal victory. At full time, there were huge celebrations

:13:23.:13:25.

at Privett Park. Gosport will now face Cambridge United at Wembley

:13:26.:13:31.

next month. Let's have a listen to what everyone is saying. We may lack

:13:32.:13:38.

a bit technically but we have team spirit and we work hard, and as far

:13:39.:13:42.

as I am concerned you cannot replace that. For me personally, I live in

:13:43.:13:48.

Wimborne and to take the town where I live to Wembley and now the town

:13:49.:13:53.

where I was born in, I don't use cliches but it is a dream come true.

:13:54.:13:59.

I think it is tremendous not only for the people of Gosport but for

:14:00.:14:04.

the area. The ball brings a lot of people together and anything like

:14:05.:14:08.

this is a great excitement and a buzz around the town `` football. It

:14:09.:14:15.

is a great achievement for Gosport and I wish them all the best. It is

:14:16.:14:22.

a good achievement for the town, especially to be playing in Wembley.

:14:23.:14:28.

Thursday. Thursday.

death in 1910 at the age of 90, fans From non`league to the Football

:14:32.:14:33.

League, and the key moments from the weekend. Swindon's hope of closing

:14:34.:14:45.

the gap faced another setback at Leyton Orient. They conceded two

:14:46.:14:48.

spot kicks either side of half`time, both of which two are dispatched by

:14:49.:14:59.

Lloyd James. Seven points now separate town from

:15:00.:15:03.

the top seven in league one. MK Dons also tasted defeat on the

:15:04.:15:07.

road despite Carl Roberts and insisting his team deserved better

:15:08.:15:10.

at Bradford. A goalkeeping howler from the goalkeeper allowed them to

:15:11.:15:21.

the hammer blow. Oxford United were left wondering

:15:22.:15:23.

what might have been. They had a lead until stoppage time. They

:15:24.:15:32.

slipped to a more ruthless team. Pompey are

:15:33.:15:34.

seven points clear of danger that they will want to bounce back

:15:35.:15:39.

against Accrington. Good luck to Brighton for their

:15:40.:15:44.

replay against Hull. The manager said his site deserve more than

:15:45.:15:56.

defeat on Saturday. . Saints, who took the lead through Yoshida at

:15:57.:16:00.

Upton Park, lost 3`1 to slip to ninth in the table. Matt Jarvis was

:16:01.:16:03.

ruled onside for the equaliser. Carlton Cole scored the second

:16:04.:16:06.

shortly after his first effort hit a post. Kevin Nolan scored the third

:16:07.:16:12.

19 minutes from time. Jump Racing's star horse Sprinter

:16:13.:16:15.

Sacre is to miss next month's Cheltenham Festival. Lambourne

:16:16.:16:17.

trainer Nicky Henderson says the horse, which pulled up in his most

:16:18.:16:20.

recent race with a suspected irregular heartbeat, was "missing

:16:21.:16:23.

that 10%" in a work`out yesterday, and would now be rested ahead of a

:16:24.:16:27.

planned return next season. Sprinter Sacre won the Champion Chase last

:16:28.:16:33.

year. It was a good weekend for the Reading Rockets, who won the

:16:34.:16:35.

National Basketball Trophy in London on Saturday. Captained by Danny

:16:36.:16:39.

Carter, the Rockets beat Manchester Magic by 88`71 in the final. Gabrial

:16:40.:16:43.

Diaz`Morera from the Berkshire team also picked up the Most Valuable

:16:44.:16:45.

Player award. There was a great start to the World

:16:46.:16:48.

Superbikes season for the Dorset`based Crescent Suzuki team.

:16:49.:16:51.

With two high`profile new signings, the mood was positive for the new

:16:52.:16:54.

season. Eugene Laverty backed that up by winning the opening race of

:16:55.:16:58.

the year at Philip Island in Australia. Unfortunately, Laverty

:16:59.:17:00.

suffered mechanical failure in the second race of the weekend, with

:17:01.:17:04.

team`mate Alex Lowes also out of luck. Team GB brings home four

:17:05.:17:10.

medals and some positive hopes for the future from the Winter Olympics.

:17:11.:17:14.

Snowboarder Billy Morgan will join us soon to tell us about his

:17:15.:17:17.

experience, and as this Instagram video shows us, Morgan, who was once

:17:18.:17:20.

a gymnast made an acrobatic entrance to the Olympic stadium for the

:17:21.:17:29.

closing ceremony yesterday. Being a good few weeks watching the

:17:30.:17:33.

winter Olympics here. Tomorrow we have some football to look ahead to,

:17:34.:17:38.

also some gymnastics and we will meet a young gymnast who has done

:17:39.:17:41.

great things in a short space of time.

:17:42.:17:46.

Thank you, Tony. Tonight we begin a special series of features, looking

:17:47.:17:49.

at the part the south played in World War One, as we commemorate the

:17:50.:17:53.

centenary of the outbreak of that war. In partnership with Imperial

:17:54.:17:56.

War Museums, we'll delve into the archives and discover some of the

:17:57.:17:59.

little`known stories of the part the south played in the Great War.

:18:00.:18:02.

Winston Churchill ordered a factory to be built in Dorset to make the

:18:03.:18:05.

explosive material cordite, which would fire the Navy's big guns. But

:18:06.:18:10.

German U`boat attacks in the Atlantic led to a shortage of a

:18:11.:18:13.

vital ingredient which was being imported from America. So the

:18:14.:18:16.

government turned to school children to help solve the problem using

:18:17.:18:24.

these ` conkers. Simple device. The BBC's former chief news

:18:25.:18:26.

correspondent Kate Adie, who's reported from numerous war zones

:18:27.:18:27.

over the years, takes up the story. The Royal Navy was the most powerful

:18:28.:18:51.

in the world in 1914. This gun fired the first shot in World War I. It is

:18:52.:18:56.

now in the Royal Navy's National Museum in Portsmouth. The need for

:18:57.:19:02.

munitions for this gun and the millions of others led to enormous

:19:03.:19:06.

demands on the country and a remote area of Holton Heath in Dorset

:19:07.:19:09.

became home to the Royal Navy's cordite factory. Commissioned by

:19:10.:19:15.

Winston Churchill, then Lord of the admiral C, Fulton Heath was the

:19:16.:19:20.

ideal location, isolated, near water, a railway and a local or `` a

:19:21.:19:27.

little workforce. Today it is an industrial park but it original

:19:28.:19:32.

purpose is apparent. John England work here in the 1950s. This is the

:19:33.:19:38.

main sub oratory and these buildings were restoring chemicals which were

:19:39.:19:44.

to be kept out of the laboratory. Cordite is a mixture of nitro

:19:45.:19:48.

glycerin and gun cotton, is drawn in strands like spaghetti. 2000 who

:19:49.:19:53.

work the factory, around half were women. A lot of ladies got called

:19:54.:19:59.

the glamour puffers because there were so many on the trains. The girl

:20:00.:20:05.

to work here were given books about conditions of work. What sort of

:20:06.:20:11.

things strike you about them? No smoking, no lighters, and you have

:20:12.:20:17.

to watch out for chemicals. This could be very dangerous. Yes, they

:20:18.:20:24.

were laying cordite on benches and then they would cut into lengths,

:20:25.:20:30.

ingredient, acetone, was imported from America, but naval blockades or

process to produce acetone in a brew. These are fermentation vats

connection is here in the logbook, dated the 9th of October 1917. In

of the older children have volunteered to collect acorns and

When it came out of the factory, cordite would go out into the

is now the Museum of naval firepower where you can see what cordite looks
