:16:05. > :16:10.Service is on its knees. Its new boss in the Southeast says the
:16:11. > :16:15.organisation can cope with cuts We are able to absorb the cuts because
:16:16. > :16:19.we are dealing with our work in a different way and yes there will be
:16:20. > :16:24.challenges and yes we need to work differently, but I am confident in
:16:25. > :16:30.going forward we can deal whth those cuts. The CPS is responsibld for
:16:31. > :16:43.prosecuting all criminal cases. The organisation here in the sotth`east
:16:44. > :16:45.must make total savings of 22%. This year alone it must save ?2 lillion.
:16:46. > :16:48.The CPS has reduced staff ntmbers by 23% but some feared the scale of the
:16:49. > :16:55.cuts is having a devastating impact. We have already reached crisis
:16:56. > :16:58.point. When you look at the day to day impact on court cases both at
:16:59. > :17:03.the Crown Court and magistr`tes Court, we have got to the point
:17:04. > :17:08.where a number of serious c`ses have been jeopardised by their f`ilure to
:17:09. > :17:12.produce evidence when required. We have had cases that have re`ched the
:17:13. > :17:16.point where they should havd been in court for trial where we ard still
:17:17. > :17:23.waiting evidence to be servdd on the defence. Conviction rates rdmain
:17:24. > :17:29.high but the number of cases brought to court has fallen by 20%. There is
:17:30. > :17:33.a reduction in the number of cases coming through to the court system
:17:34. > :17:39.but there is an increase in diversion away from the courts,
:17:40. > :17:44.where you may have restorathve justice. Maintaining a high quality
:17:45. > :17:51.service for victims and witnesses with a reducing budget is a CPS
:17:52. > :18:03.priority. An impossibility say some who work in our courts.

:18:13. > :18:16.were revealed. Funded by Network Rail and Gatwick Airport, they hope
:18:17. > :18:18.the changes will make it easier for passengers to move around the

:18:26. > :18:32.It is not often that a train gets this sort of welcome. But it is
:18:33. > :18:37.hoped this one marked the end of Gatwick 's infamous bottlendck.
:18:38. > :18:41.Every regular commuter will know the experience of sitting outside
:18:42. > :18:47.Gatwick airport waiting for their train to pass. We have eradhcated
:18:48. > :18:53.that now, it will make the place far more flexible and resilient. The
:18:54. > :18:58.station also caters for 30,000 people a day using the airport. The
:18:59. > :19:04.upgrade certainly is not likely to hurt hopes for expansion here. It is
:19:05. > :19:13.an important part of our push for a second runway. When it comes to
:19:14. > :19:20.rail, nobody matches us. Of the 35 million people who use the `irport,
:19:21. > :19:26.14 million arrive by train. It has direct connections to 120 stations.
:19:27. > :19:32.This investment should mean the line runs smoothly, allowing for future
:19:33. > :19:40.growth. It is one of the most congested lines we have an behind it
:19:41. > :19:46.is so much new engineering, much greater reliability and that is much
:19:47. > :19:50.needed. This has been a hugdly frustrating route. The hope is by
:19:51. > :19:56.getting rid of the bottleneck here it will alleviate some of the
:19:57. > :20:00.delays. The new platform opdns for business a week today. It is then

:21:27. > :21:31.maintain the building and there is a limit to what insurance companies
:21:32. > :21:36.will pay out. All of this is sought after by the Americans. I do not
:21:37. > :21:42.want it to go out of this country. It has to stay here. The vine yard
