Good evening, I'm Edward Sault. One is at 10:30.

:00:12.:00:14.

Police are investigating after a human hand and forearm

:00:15.:00:16.

were washed up on an Isle of Wight beach.

:00:17.:00:18.

A dog walker made the discovery at Freshwater Bay this morning.

:00:19.:00:21.

Hampshire Police were called to the scene just after 11am,

:00:22.:00:24.

and say initial analysis suggests the remains had been

:00:25.:00:27.

They've been sent away for further tests.

:00:28.:00:32.

Hospitals across the South have been criticised by patient groups

:00:33.:00:35.

for the amount of money they've raised through parking charges.

:00:36.:00:38.

This year the University Hospital Southampton took over

:00:39.:00:41.

?3 million, making it the third highest

:00:42.:00:44.

Oxford University Hospitals didn't publish its total,

:00:45.:00:49.

but last year made almost ?4 million.

:00:50.:00:51.

The hospitals say revenue goes into patient services.

:00:52.:00:54.

With parking charges up to ?4 an hour in the south,

:00:55.:01:02.

a hospital visit can come at a price.

:01:03.:01:04.

For people in work that have got a fairly good salary,

:01:05.:01:06.

you know, four pounds, two hours, it's a lot of money.

:01:07.:01:09.

You don't know how long you're going to be here,

:01:10.:01:13.

so it's a major hassle, to be honest with you.

:01:14.:01:16.

If I compare this with France,

:01:17.:01:17.

France, which is completely free, it's completely...

:01:18.:01:21.

The Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford made ?1.4 million

:01:22.:01:26.

Oxford University hospital didn't publish its figures,

:01:27.:01:33.

but made 3.6 million the year before.

:01:34.:01:34.

The University Hospital Southampton earned a similar amount,

:01:35.:01:37.

of which a million pounds came from staff.

:01:38.:01:40.

It says revenue goes into patient services.

:01:41.:01:43.

In Guildford, it is to keep the car park up and running.

:01:44.:01:47.

Our car parks have to be funded,

:01:48.:01:51.

they've got operational costs,

:01:52.:01:53.

they've got development costs,

:01:54.:01:54.

and we finance it through the collection of

:01:55.:01:56.

We'd rather spend our money that we get for clinical care

:01:57.:02:00.

on patients, rather than on car parking.

:02:01.:02:03.

The Patients' Association says hospitals take money from

:02:04.:02:05.

It wants charges capped or scrapped, as in Scotland

:02:06.:02:11.

The Department of Health says charges shouldn't be unfair,

:02:12.:02:15.

and there should be concessions for those who need them.

:02:16.:02:22.

Meanwhile, St Mary's Hospital on the Isle of Wight has declared

:02:23.:02:24.

a "significant incident" because of high pressure

:02:25.:02:26.

Planned operations have had to be cancelled to make beds available

:02:27.:02:31.

The Hospital says it's responding to the situation

:02:32.:02:35.

and is still treating people, but is urging non-emergency patients

:02:36.:02:38.

A man's been charged with manslaughter

:02:39.:02:45.

following a death in Ventnor on Christmas Day.

:02:46.:02:47.

57-year-old Nick Medlin was confirmed dead

:02:48.:02:51.

32-year-old Michael John Hudson will appear

:02:52.:02:54.

before Portsmouth Magistrates tomorrow.

:02:55.:02:57.

Two other men have been released on bail.

:02:58.:03:00.

The number of people sleeping rough on the streets of Bournemouth has

:03:01.:03:03.

become such a concern to churches in the town

:03:04.:03:07.

they're now providing accommodation to those in need.

:03:08.:03:10.

Members from several congregations are running what they're calling

:03:11.:03:13.

Dishing up a hot meal and having a comfortable bed to sleep in.

:03:14.:03:21.

For those sleeping rough, it's a luxury.

:03:22.:03:26.

But now churches in Bournemouth have come together

:03:27.:03:28.

to offer just that... and more.

:03:29.:03:32.

Our goal here is to help people get off and stay off the streets,

:03:33.:03:35.

and we sit down with them and say, what are the things that you need?

:03:36.:03:39.

How can we help you get your ID sorted out?

:03:40.:03:41.

Getting maybe into accommodation,

:03:42.:03:44.

finding somewhere to work... All of those things,

:03:45.:03:49.

we've seen people over the last few weeks sorting out

:03:50.:03:52.

because they've had a decent night's sleep.

:03:53.:03:54.

The project, Sleep Safe, is running for six months,

:03:55.:03:56.

and involves seven churches across Bournemouth.

:03:57.:03:57.

Each church takes a night a week, offering 12 beds to rough sleepers.

:03:58.:04:00.

45-year-old Stewart has been on and off the streets for 15 years.

:04:01.:04:08.

He says he's been offered a lifeline

:04:09.:04:10.

to escape the dangers of living on the streets.

:04:11.:04:15.

You've got to watch your back, and you're going to get robbed,

:04:16.:04:17.

You're going to get robbed, it's just a matter about when,

:04:18.:04:21.

so you've got to look after yourself,

:04:22.:04:23.

that's the first thing about the streets.

:04:24.:04:25.

The second thing about the streets, I think,

:04:26.:04:26.

is never show anyone you've got money.

:04:27.:04:28.

Things like that, you've got to be safeguarding yourself.

:04:29.:04:30.

Because no one else is going to look after you.

:04:31.:04:33.

I've seen friends of mine beaten up and stabbed,

:04:34.:04:35.

Sleep Safe have helped me make a plan,

:04:36.:04:38.

a plan of action for me to move on and be independent,

:04:39.:04:41.

and it's working pretty good.

:04:42.:04:42.

While many people are relaxing over the holidays,

:04:43.:05:00.

volunteers with a Buckinghamshire charity

:05:01.:05:01.

with the possibility of being flown to a disaster zone

:05:02.:05:04.

So lucky to have such a kind, loving child that just thinks of everyone.

:05:05.:05:42.

Then collect use ink cartridges widget gives to charity. He has held

:05:43.:05:48.

a fundraising dog walk since a young child, and is trying to raise

:05:49.:05:54.

thousands pounds for the rescue services. In this day and age when

:05:55.:05:57.

people are so materialistic, it is really refreshing to see a young lad

:05:58.:06:04.

with such spirit and enthusiasm as young men. One present ban is

:06:05.:06:08.

keeping for himself is his new pogo stick. He's already planning to use

:06:09.:06:11.

that for a charity world record attempt. That's get all the weather

:06:12.:06:22.

news with Nina Ridge. Very cold and frosty today. More of the same over

:06:23.:06:25.

the next couple of days, high pressure with us and giving things

:06:26.:06:28.

very subtle but with that high pressure at this time of year comes

:06:29.:06:32.

that fog and frost. A really murky start for many of us this morning,

:06:33.:06:36.

but a lot of it stood clear away and we ended up with some sunshine.

:06:37.:06:41.

Those clear skies then let's do a beautiful sunset to finish the day

:06:42.:06:44.

and we are going to keep the clear skies through tonight 's and that

:06:45.:06:49.

fog is going to be allowed to form yet again, thicker and more

:06:50.:06:52.

widespread than this morning, so the Met office has issued a weather

:06:53.:06:56.

warning because travelling conditions are once again through

:06:57.:06:59.

tonight and tomorrow morning going to be very difficult indeed. We can

:07:00.:07:02.

start to see how that fog forms through the early hours and we will

:07:03.:07:06.

have poor visibility through the morning with temperatures sitting at

:07:07.:07:10.

a roundabout freezing, so cold and frosty tomorrow morning, fog around

:07:11.:07:14.

as well. It really takes its time, we made do see some brightness

:07:15.:07:17.

through the afternoon but for many it will be a fairly gloomy affair

:07:18.:07:21.

with temperatures around 45 degrees. There could be a bit of fog on

:07:22.:07:29.

Friday, not as much as previously and the breeze picks up, lots of

:07:30.:07:32.

cloud around low, another cloudy day on Friday. Temperatures on the cold

:07:33.:07:40.

side at 5 degrees. This weekend sees a bit of a change, that high

:07:41.:07:43.

pressure giving way to a weather front coming down from the law. It

:07:44.:07:46.

should hold off for New Year's Eve but it looks likely we will see some

:07:47.:07:51.

rain on New Year's Day. More details over the next couple of days. That's

:07:52.:07:54.

it from me, see you at 1040. Good evening, the weather is proving

:07:55.:08:38.

hazardous and the fog now becoming more extensive and causing

:08:39.:08:44.

disruption overnight tonight. There is a
