Police are investigating after a human hand and forearm

:00:11.:00:12.

were washed up on an Isle of Wight beach.

:00:13.:00:14.

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

:00:15.:00:17.

Hampshire police say initial analysis suggests the remains had

They've been sent away for further tests.

:00:20.:00:28.

Hospitals across the South have been criticised by patient groups

:00:29.:00:30.

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

:00:31.:00:32.

This year the University Hospital Southampton took over ?3 million,

:00:33.:00:35.

making it the third highest earner in the country.

:00:36.:00:37.

Oxford University Hospitals didn't publish its total, but last year

:00:38.:00:40.

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

It says revenue goes into patient services and in Guildford

:01:32.:01:35.

it is to keep the car park up and running.

:01:36.:01:39.

Car parks have operational costs and development costs and we finance

:01:40.:01:42.

it through the collection of car parking fees.

:01:43.:01:44.

We would rather spend the money we get for clinical care on patients

:01:45.:01:47.

The Patients' Association say hospitals take money from vulnerable

:01:48.:01:57.

people and they want charges capped or scrapped as in

:01:58.:01:59.

They say the charges should be fair and there should be concessions

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

:02:56.:03:04.

become such a concern to churches in the town, they're now providing

:03:05.:03:07.

Members from several congregations are running what they're calling

:03:08.:03:10.

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

:03:11.:03:21.

For those sleeping rough it is a luxury, but no churches

:03:22.:03:25.

in Bournemouth have come together to offer that and more.

:03:26.:03:28.

Our goal is to get people off and to stay off the streets.

:03:29.:03:32.

We ask what they need help with, had to get ID sorted out and benefits,

:03:33.:03:35.

maybe getting accommodation somewhere to work.

All of those things we have seen people sorting out over the last few

:03:37.:03:40.

weeks because they have had a decent night's sleep.

You have to watch your back and you always get robbed and have

They have helped me make a plan of action to move on and be

:04:31.:04:32.

Despite this goal by Virgil Van Dijk in the opening two minutes,

:04:33.:04:37.

it wasn't enough for Claude Puel's men to beat off the London visitors,

:04:38.:04:42.

with Dele Alli equalising for spurs in the 19th minute.

:04:43.:04:47.

Into the second half and Saints were down to 10 men

when Nathan Redmond was sent off for this foul.

:04:50.:04:54.

Spurs powered on into the 52nd minute with this from Harry Kane.

:04:55.:04:59.
