:01:16. > :01:17.and the mental health trust to support
:01:18. > :01:23.The Trust says it's introducing a number of new services,
:01:24. > :01:27.including thousands more short-term care packages,

:01:54. > :01:55.Some people are worried these changes could lead a reduction
:01:56. > :02:00.of beds in the future, putting patients at risk.
:02:01. > :02:02.It concerns me hugely that this pilot is being run
:02:03. > :02:06.in spring and summer, it's not going
:02:07. > :02:09.to be run during autumn and winter which is when the massive

:02:38. > :02:40.Earlier, Adina spoke to Dr Tina Kenny,
:02:41. > :02:42.who's the Medical Director from
:02:43. > :02:44.Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust.
:02:45. > :02:47.They started off by talking about how the beds in Marlow
:02:48. > :02:57.If you go and have a look in Marlow, you'll see they are actually there.
:02:58. > :03:00.It's about using the space and the beds flexibly
:03:01. > :03:05.You've announced a number of measures,
:03:06. > :03:07.one of them being new community hubs.
:03:08. > :03:12.The community hub concept is using the space that we have
:03:13. > :03:15.and the beds that we have in a different way.
:03:16. > :03:19.We will be able to provide rehabilitation physiotherapy
:03:20. > :03:23.services on a day basis, perhaps giving fluids or
:03:24. > :03:28.intravenous antibiotics into a vein from those very beds.
:03:29. > :03:31.There are concerns from campaigners who have told us they
:03:32. > :03:34.think this pilot scheme could lead to beds being cut in the future
:03:35. > :03:37.because you are using the beds in a different way.
:03:38. > :03:44.We are using the beds now, and I think we are going to have to
:03:45. > :03:46.continue to use the beds with the new model of care.
:03:47. > :03:49.So I don't think the beds are going to be cut,
:03:50. > :03:52.because we will need to use those beds.
:03:53. > :03:54.This new ?1 million investment, is this new money?
:03:55. > :03:58.It is money that we are using in a different way.
:03:59. > :04:01.So there are two aspects to the funding.
:04:02. > :04:03.The first aspect is that the commissioners have worked
:04:04. > :04:08.But the other part of it is looking at how we have
:04:09. > :04:11.looked after patients in the past, and remodelling that care so that we
:04:12. > :04:15.can release the funding into the community.
:04:16. > :04:21.Many people, I am sure, will be pleased to hear that you're making
:04:22. > :04:23.provisions to make sure people can be looked
:04:24. > :04:27.after in the home, but there are also worries
:04:28. > :04:30.about people who need the specialist care in a hospital.
:04:31. > :04:34.Special care in a hospital will absolutely be provided for them.
:04:35. > :04:41.The joint Thames Valley and Hampshire roads policing unit
:04:42. > :04:45.has seen an increase of more than 10% in the number of incidents
:04:46. > :04:49.according to figures obtained by BBC South.
:04:50. > :04:52.Between 2013 and 2014 the unit attended more
:04:53. > :04:57.Two years later, that figure had risen to nearly 49,000,
:04:58. > :05:01.an increase of more than 4,500 incidents.
:05:02. > :05:04.That's despite having around 20% fewer officers than when the
:05:05. > :05:12.Here's our Home Affairs Correspondent Peter Cooke.
:05:13. > :05:15.Five years after Hampshire and Thames Valley's road
:05:16. > :05:19.policing units merged, their officers are busier than ever.
:05:20. > :05:21.More than 50 posts were lost when they joined forces in 2012
:05:22. > :05:27.Those still working are attending around
:05:28. > :05:29.940 incidents a week - often having to travel
:05:30. > :05:54.The motorway through to junction turn, the A329, through to the
:05:55. > :05:57.Hampshire border, it is a huge area with not many of us.
:05:58. > :06:01.with regular emergency calls - as well as responding to accidents
:06:02. > :06:14.We prosecute you for driving without wearing a seat belt. You do not have
:06:15. > :06:18.to say anything now but it may harm your defence if you fail to say
:06:19. > :06:24.something which would later rely on import.
:06:25. > :06:26.The Roads Policing Unit is one of a number
:06:27. > :06:30.But officers say they're worried about how efficient
:06:31. > :06:39.We are not able to give the service that we want to to the public. We
:06:40. > :06:42.are being spread thinly, by police across the UK. This is a direct
:06:43. > :06:52.consequence of the cuts that we faced. Despite this, officers are
:06:53. > :06:57.still making a difference. A man who died in a motorbike accident's
:06:58. > :07:08.family say that the police have been a great support. I think the really

:07:12. > :07:13.Both forces say they're focused on making sure
:07:14. > :07:14.they have the resources and specialist capabilities
:07:15. > :07:17.in the right locations at peak times to meet demand.
:07:18. > :07:19.But with further cuts feared and more motorists on our roads
:07:20. > :07:22.the units are likely to remain stretched.
:07:23. > :07:25.Plans to add more restaurants and a hotel at Milton Interchange
:07:26. > :07:28.near Didcot will be discussed by councillors tonight.
:07:29. > :07:32.The proposals, for a site behind the existing facilities,
:07:33. > :07:34.off the A34 include two new restaurants, two drive
:07:35. > :07:39.The developers say the plans will create jobs and employment
:07:40. > :07:42.in the area and the impact on traffic will be minimal.
:07:43. > :07:45.Those living nearby say there is no demand for the facilities.
:07:46. > :07:53.Unless they turn it into a motorway, the A34 is already tremendously busy
:07:54. > :07:57.at 3:30pm is is extremely busy.
:07:58. > :08:07.At 5pm, you wouldn't want to be here.

:15:19. > :15:27.Train hard, play hard. The England's women's team are subscribers. They
:15:28. > :15:31.were playing in front of supporters and may have added a few extra
:15:32. > :15:37.percent. This is a red session and we work really hard. That is
:15:38. > :15:42.probably the hardest sessions that you will ever see. Great to have the
:15:43. > :15:48.support here and gives us the extra kick in training. It is good to see
:15:49. > :15:53.all the girls that want to be where we are and even the little boys. For
:15:54. > :16:06.the onlookers, it was a chance for the England stars. Me and my twin
:16:07. > :16:18.sister, briny, we were the only girls in the team. They progressed
:16:19. > :16:26.into the older teams. They are part of the England Grand Slam when.
:16:27. > :16:32.England are defending champions. It will be tough with the Irish crowd.
:16:33. > :16:38.It is good practice. Everyone is watching every nation, no matter

:16:52. > :17:00.Along with the training session, some of the England girls are
:17:01. > :17:05.helping out with the Basingstoke and 18 session. Tell us how Basingstoke
:17:06. > :17:09.got involved with hosting England. One of the England coach has got in
:17:10. > :17:14.touch with us and they wanted a southern base for the England ladies
:17:15. > :17:21.and stop they asked us if we would do it and we said yes. What does it
:17:22. > :17:27.do for the young players? It is incredible. It means they can look
:17:28. > :17:32.out there and see their ambition turned into reality. It is real for
:17:33. > :17:41.them and they can see it and touch where they want to be. How fast has
:17:42. > :17:45.the game grown in Basingstoke here? It is like an accelerated evolution.
:17:46. > :17:51.We have gone from nothing and we have five of our girls playing for
:17:52. > :17:55.Premiership clubs. We have some girls in the England under 20s and
:17:56. > :18:00.we can't wait for the next step. Thank you for having us here today.

:19:29. > :19:31.but sadly the end of the road is in sight for the army display

:19:59. > :20:03.But that the White Helmets, It Is The End Of The Road. It is their
:20:04. > :20:08.last season before the team is disbanded. They are such a good
:20:09. > :20:13.group of guys and the team work and effort they put in is brilliant. To
:20:14. > :20:19.lose them is such a shame. Sun-macro I don't want to fall off a lot. You
:20:20. > :20:25.end up with a lot of bangs and scrapes and it does hurt every time.
:20:26. > :20:28.While this will be the last season for the display team, they still
:20:29. > :20:31.need two more members to complete the squad for the summer. Today is
:20:32. > :20:37.their final test performing in front of family and friends. Now the
:20:38. > :20:43.family say they want to show the more modern ways they communicate.
:20:44. > :20:46.These represent the former communication days when we used
:20:47. > :20:52.dispatch riders. Communication now is electronic and the army must move
:20:53. > :20:56.with those times. The Royal Court is a sophisticated organisation now.
:20:57. > :21:01.After the summer, they will go back to their regular posts with the Army
:21:02. > :21:05.bringing 90 years of history to a close.
:21:06. > :21:12.I'm sure they will be missed. I've seen them in action. Alexis is here
:21:13. > :21:17.for the weather. You have had another lovely day. We have had some
:21:18. > :21:22.great pictures. Some amazing pictures from last
:21:23. > :21:26.night. The full moon rose yesterday morning. These pictures were taken
:21:27. > :21:30.around the region. The moon doesn't always appear to be pink but the

:21:32. > :21:42.moons. Through the course of tonight, we
:21:43. > :21:46.are expecting increasing cloud. The cloud may produce rain but today we
:21:47. > :21:53.have some glorious sunshine. The weather front stayed in the Midlands
:21:54. > :22:00.and we have the lovely sunny spells. This was in Berkshire. We have some
:22:01. > :22:07.lovely conditions on Bournemouth beach. This was looking West.
:22:08. > :22:09.Overnight tonight, we will see increasing cloud during the early
:22:10. > :22:15.hours of tomorrow morning and sunlight and patchy rain. A lot of
:22:16. > :22:19.dry weather and one or two clear spells. Temperatures overnight
:22:20. > :22:30.tonight could drop as low as five Celsius. Urban areas, seven Celsius.
:22:31. > :22:35.More cloud in the sky than today. There will be one or two brighter
:22:36. > :22:43.spells. Temperatures could reach 14 Celsius. We are expecting highs of
