we are back with the late news at 11pm, now on BBC One it's time | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
Hello, I'm Jo Kent with the news here in the south. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
The Debenhams department store in Portsmouth has apologised | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
after a homeless man, who was sleeping outside | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
on Boxing Day, had his bedding drenched with water | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
The store says it was an accident, but there has been an angry reaction | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
from many in Portsmouth, as Roger Finn reports. | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
Russell Allen was sleeping in a doorway at Debenhams | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
in Portsmouth, on Boxing Day morning, when he was woken | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
by a security guard and told to move on. | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
Sneaky little comment as he walked away. | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
I argued back, said to him, there's no need to be like this, you | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
don't realise what people are going through. | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
He just continued being rude, walked off. | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
I've gone to pack up all my bedding and whatnot, | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
lifted up my sheet and it's absolutely soaking, and I don't mean | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
just a little bit - it was absolutely drenched. | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
There was an outpouring of sympathy on social media, | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
We could all be in that situation one day, who knows? | :01:04. | :01:15. | |
I think it's awful, to be honest with | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
I don't know how, with the Christmas spirit, | :01:18. | :01:25. | |
I've been homeless over the years myself and I wouldn't | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
In a statement, Debenhams say they take | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
this matter seriously and have investigated it. | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
They say it was an unfortunate accident, in which some | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
routine cleaning on the inside of the fire exit resulted in the | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
gentleman's property on the outside of the fire exit becoming wet. | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
Debenhams have apologised to Russel Allen and provided him | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
But there have been threats against members of their staff | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
and one local councillor, who has been homeless himself, | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
This isn't just about this incident - it's | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
And it's an opportunity for us to raise awareness for the homeless | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
and hopefully bring the business sector a bit closer to working | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
with us for the greater understanding of the homeless. | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
A man's appeared in court in Portsmouth charged | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
with manslaughter, following the death of a man | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
57-year-old father of two Nick Medlin, a prison | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
officer at Parkhurst, was pronounced dead at the Rose Inn | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
on Pier Street in the town, in the early hours of the morning. | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
32-year-old Michael Hudson, of no fixed address, has been | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
charged with his manslaughter, and was remanded in custody. | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
He'll appear at Winchester Crown Court in January. | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
St Mary's hospital on the Isle of Wight remains on black alert | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
today, meaning planned operations are being cancelled after very high | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
But the operations director's told the BBC, this morning, | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
the pressure has eased slightly with extra nurses and doctors | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
being brought in to deal with demand, and more | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
The outgoing chief executive in charge of three of Hampshire's | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
hospitals, has spoken about the difficult times facing | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
the health service as she comes to the end of 40 years working | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
Mary Edwards is responsible for Hampshire Hospitals Trust, | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
with sites in Winchester, Andover and Basingstoke. | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
She's been speaking to our reporter, Joe Campbell. | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
Mary Edwards isn't saying goodbye just yet, | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
but come the New Year this will no longer be one | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
That doesn't stop her noting the emergency department here hasn't | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
been spruced up under the last three Prime Ministers. | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
Really we ought to be investing in new lifts so we didn't | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
have to keep repairing, but each lift is probably up to ?250,000 and | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
at the moment we can't prioritise that above other things. | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
One priority will be keeping overseas staff, | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
many of whom have been unsettled by the past year's events. | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
So what does she say to those negotiating Brexit? | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
I would be asking them to do their best to try and | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
make sure we don't destabilise those people who work in an | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
We need staff from overseas, and we need them to feel | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
Soon there will be a new picture hanging here and, after | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
forking out a hefty sum for health care to visit family | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
in Australia and the US, on her retirement Mary Edwards | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
for one remains convinced the NHS is still a bit of a bargain. | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
Onto football, and Southampton will not appeal against the decision | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
to send off Nathan Redmond in last night's 4-1 home | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
defeat against Spurs, despite their manager Claude Puel's | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
belief that referee Mike Dean got it wrong. | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
Redmond was red carded for this challenge on Dele Alli, | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
Saints had taken the early lead in the game through | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
But though Harry Kane missed the penalty awarded | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
when Redmond was sent off, Spurs went on to win the match | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
Now if you've ever tried to hula hoop you may have found | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
But a little girl from Oxford has really mastered it. | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
Poppy Campion decided to use her hula hooping talents | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
Thousands of pounds have now been pledged, for a charity | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
As Jeremy Stern reports, Poppy had the idea after her | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
It's an unusual skill that is tricky to master. | :05:24. | :05:32. | |
Nine-year-old Poppy says it's all in the hips, and set herself | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
a target of hula hooping for 30 minutes. | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
I have never really had people watching me doing hula | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
hooping, I have never really had the encouragement for it. | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
I do it but I just never thought I was... | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
Poppy has raised ?2500 for the Oxford charity | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
Seesaw, which supports children who have suffered a loss. | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
In March, Poppy lost her grandfather - ex Royal Marine Graham Campion. | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
She was the light of his life from the moment she was born. | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
They both loved each other very dearly and she made him | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
feel so much better when she would visit him | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
in hospital, as she did most days. | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
People can still donate online through her Justgiving page. | :06:28. | :06:40. | |
Now let's take a look at the weather, with Dan Downs. | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
We're seeing a few subtle changes in our weather as we | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
The high pressure which has brought us a couple of settled days is | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
slipping away to the south, the isobars squeezing up behind it, | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
And then this weather front's moving down, | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
bringing us rather cloudy conditions to start the New Year, | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
Behind that, though, it does turn a lot clearer and colder. | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
Tonight we're seeing the return of a lot of fog patches | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
around, maybe not quite as dense as the past couple of nights, | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
with a bit more breeze around, but it will be a cold night, | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
quite a widespread frost, as temperatures dip towards | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
Tomorrow, a much cloudy day than today. | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
We start off rather cold and foggy again, and then one | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
or two breaks are possible but generally a lot more cloud around | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
and not feeling particularly warm - a bit more of a breeze around, and | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
temperatures of around 7 or 8 degrees. | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
As we end the year it stays rather cloudy through Saturday. | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
Milder than recent days, though - temperatures just scraping into | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
But it turns rather damp to start New Year's Day, before | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
brightening up later, and then colder but clearer | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
There's more on the BBC News website. | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
Our next programme is tonight at 11:10pm. | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
Temperatures have dropped away shortly and we have seen some fog, | :07:54. | :08:24. | |
particularly through the Midlands. We do have some clout drifting in | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
from the west. By the end of the night, towards the East Midlands as | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
well. Further north, more of a breeze from the south-west, bringing | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
in a weather front. Keeping the temperatures at seven or 8 degrees. | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
Freezing or just below to the south-east corner. Fog will live to | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
low cloud and generally speaking a lot more cloud than we saw today. | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
Northern Scotland is the focal point for wet and windy weather. Confined | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
to the north and west of Scotland where temperatures will be quite | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
mild, ten or 11 degrees for Glasgow, | :09:01. | :09:01. |
