Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's | :00:01. | :00:11. | |
programme: one person is believed to have died as two light aircraft | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
collide near Shoreham Airport. As rubbish piles up on the streets | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
of Southampton, unions plan more action - this time to disrupt the | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
port. I am proud of Southampton, I don't | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
like the city being like it is at the moment. | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
The new campaign to get dog owners to help protect birds that nest on | :00:29. | :00:32. | |

:00:42. | :00:48. | ||
helped this ten-year-old add One person has been killed after | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
two light aircraft collided in mid- air over Sussex. The accident | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
happened shortly after 4:30pm this afternoon. One aircraft managed to | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
land at Shoreham Airport, but the other came down at the Arun | :00:56. | :01:05. | |
The Sussex Air Ambulance and fire crews were called to the scene. Our | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
reporter Tony Husband is there now. The Tony, at this stage, what can | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
you tell us? This was an incident that occurred | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
involving two light aircraft. Around two hours ago, it appears | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
the clash was between two planes, one of the -- one of them we | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
believe may have been landing at nearby Shoreham Airport. The plane | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
came down a couple of hundred metres from a children's playground | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
and it is believed that the accident then led to the vitality | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
that has now been reported by Sussex Police. One person concerned | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
dead, in the plane that crashed in the recreation field where I am now | :01:50. | :01:57. | |
standing. Police have closed the A259 Brighton Road around this area, | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
there is a major investigation underway. | :02:02. | :02:12. | |
:02:12. | :02:22. | ||
De one which landed at nearby Shoreham Airport, -- one of them | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
landed at nearby Shoreham Airport. We do know the pilot of the plane | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
that crashed at the Recreation Ground has died tonight. | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
We apologise for the sound quality, that was live by broadband. | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
One eyewitness told us what happened when the collision | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
occurred. It was a mid-air collision. A plane | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
had taken off from Shoreham Airport and was heading towards the sea, | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
another one was coming west to east. You can hear the helicopters coming | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
in to land. Yes, I can. The police and ambulance helicopter is just | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
arriving. The one that was coming west to east came straight across | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
the front of the one that had taken off and I saw the wing hit the | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
other one, a lump fell off. That aircraft actually managed to land | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
again, but the other one was just... Oh, it was awful. | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
One person dead after two light aircraft collided in mid-air over | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
Sussex. Any more news on that and we will bring it to you during the | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
programme. For six weeks, householders and | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
businesses in Southampton have been living with sights like this, | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
uncollected rubbish building up in streets and parks. Today, unions | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
said they would extend the strike so that it affected the operation | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
of the city's port. Next week council-employed health officials | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
at the Port of Southampton will also go on strike. Unison, Unite | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
and the GMB say that move will affect cruise ships and prevent | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
some imports. It is the fall-out from a dispute between Southampton | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
City Council and members of the Unite union over pay cuts. Roisin | :03:55. | :04:05. | |
Gauson reports. It is unsightly, a magnet for vermin, and have been | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
piling up for weeks. It should not be done. It is rubbish. You cannot | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
even walk straight. I now have flies landing on me, which is | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
telling. It tells you about the state of this place, it is | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
unpleasant. As the build-up of rubbish | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
escalates, so does the strike action. From the kerbside to the | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
dockside, Southampton's port is the latest target. Council staff there | :04:28. | :04:36. | |
will walk out next week as the row over pay cuts continues. The port | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
health certificates livestock, food, sanitation. We have incoming and | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
outgoing products through the containers, through the cruise | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
liners, and we believe it will have significant impact. The action has | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
the potential to bring one of the UK's busiest ports to a halt. | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
Unions estimate it could cost the city �1 million each day. We are | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
hoping it will not be as significant as they will predict. | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
We are looking at contingencies, of course. The dock is the main | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
economic driver of the City and if they want to bring the city to its | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
knees, let them tell the residents that is what they want to do. | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
on the streets, some landlords have decided to take matters into their | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
own hands and bring in contract cleaners. They find there is a lot | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
of rubbish outside, up the street, so it is not good. Parents are | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
asking what is going on, so there is a general disquiet. I am proud | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
of Southampton, I don't like this city being like it is at the moment. | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
They say first impressions are everything. New students moving to | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
Southampton will be greeted by a city with public services at a | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
standstill. So it is clear people in | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
Southampton are the losers in this dispute, but who is winning? And | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
how much longer can it last? Our political editor Peter Henley joins | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
me from Westminster. Where is this going, Peter? | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
As far as council leaders are concerned, Monday is the deadline, | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
the day for new contracts, when staff will have to have signed them | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
or face dismissal, be dismissed. From the council's point of view, | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
that is when they will make the savings by getting people to accept | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
pay cuts. By saving 400 jobs, making cuts without cutting | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
services. But from the union's point of view, they say Monday is | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
the day when the council will see the full anger of staff in | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
Southampton, and that the strikes they have had so far have managed | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
to keep the public opinion on their side because it has not, despite | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
the piling up of rubbish, actually turned people against the strikers. | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
In fact, it has shown, the union's claim, that people value their | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
public services and when they see the vital role that the council | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
also plays in the docks, that will reinforce that. Both sides say they | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
are prepared to go back to the negotiating table but it does not | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
look at the moment like a well. What is the indication of the | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
number of staff who will sign the new contract by next Monday? | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
It is passed 70% already, but it is perhaps not a good indication | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
because the union has advised their members it is a good idea for them | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
to sign up. They are taking a parallel legal case for unfair | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
dismissal saying unfair pressure has been put on staff to sign these, | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
so we could get 100%. One of the things the council is worried about | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
is losing key staff, people who will not sign up to his new | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
contract and on Tuesday start work somewhere else. I am told there are | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
golden hellos being offered for people like social workers, and | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
that Southampton City Council face losing people like that unless they | :07:45. | :07:55. | |
:07:55. | :07:56. | ||
come up with a contingency. Thank you. | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
Two woman are in a serious condition after being knocked down | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
by a car in Gosport. It happened as they were crossing Stoke Road just | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
after 11pm on Saturday night. The car failed to stop and drove off | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
down Spring Garden Lane. Three people are helping police with | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
their inquiries and officers are appealing for information. | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
New figures show the Dorset coastline saw more scuba diving | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
accidents last year than anywhere else in the country. Portland | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
Coastguard dealt with 41 separate diving incidents, including three | :08:17. | :08:27. | |
:08:27. | :08:30. | ||
deaths - more than three times the national average. | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
Labour is demanding a review of the Government's decision to build a | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
new fleet of trains for Brighton in Germany. The contract, worth more | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
than �2 billion, is going to Siemens. Britain's last remaining | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
train manufacturer lost out. Labour says it puts up to 20,000 jobs at | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
risk. Our transport correspondent Paul Clifton is here. Talk us | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
through this, because 20,000 jobs sounds like a very big number | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
indeed. Last month, the Government awarded | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
the contract for a new generation of Thameslink trains to the German | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
company Siemens. Here is what they will look like. The Department for | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
Transport says these trains offer the best value for money. But the | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
loser was Britain's last remaining train builder in Derby. It could | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
lose a couple of thousand jobs. But there would be many more in the | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
supply chain, the people who make thousands of different parts for | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
the trains. Labour reckons 20,000 British jobs are at risk. So the | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
Southampton MP and Shadow Business Secretary John Denham has written | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
to the Prime Minister asking him to think again. | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
I want them to review this decision, to question whether it was right, | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
and then to get into serious negotiations about the future | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
delivery of these contracts, we debut, fairly, to getting as much | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
for UK manufacturing as they possibly can. -- with a view. | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
Brighton has needed new trains for a long time. This process was | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
actually drawn up by Labour, not the Conservatives? | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
Yes, this tender for trains was Labour's project. It was once | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
called Thameslink 2000, because that was the year it was meant to | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
finish. No where near, is it? These old ones will be refurbished and | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
moved to Reading. John Denham's point is this: Under EU rules, all | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
European bidders for a British contract must be treated equally. | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
But look at Germany. All the trains there are built in Germany. Look at | :10:11. | :10:19. | |
France. All the trains are French. It is the same in Spain and Italy. | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
Here, we have trains from Germany, France, Spain, and Japan. Do we | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
interpret the rules differently here? We invented railways in this | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
country. But, tomorrow morning, our last remaining train builder is | :10:31. | :10:38. | |
going to make a big announcement about its future. I don't know what | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
it is, but I do think it will involve thousands of job losses. | :10:41. | :10:49. | |
We will watch with interest and have bad news tomorrow. -- that | :10:49. | :10:59. | |

A big row is breaking out in West Sussex over a small stretch of | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
country path. The long distance Liphook to Chichester path is | :11:11. | :11:20. | |
barricaded off near Midhurst due to a development. The South Downs | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
Society says the changes have been pushed three. | :11:24. | :11:33. | |
:11:34. | :11:36. | ||
It is a beautiful road. I am sure we will find a solution. | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
A new 700-place park and ride scheme for football fans going to | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
the new Falmer Stadium has been given council approval. Brighton | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
and Hove Albion move to the stadium in time for the new football season. | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
Planners have given consent for the use of car parks at Brighton | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
racecourse. A fleet of eight double-decker buses will run | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
between there and Falmer. It is thought 2,000 spectators would use | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
the service during matches. Still to come in this evening's | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
South Today: Find out later why this young | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
golfer has a new discovered a lease of life. | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
There is concern amongst farmers in Hampshire about the spread of TB in | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
cattle. It comes after a number of animals had to be slaughtered after | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
testing positive for the disease. It is a part of the country which | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
has not previously had a problem. But the tests are not 100% accurate. | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
Last week we reported how farmers in Dorset, where the disease is | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
more prevalent, were calling for a cull of badgers. Badger protection | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
groups disagree about the need for a cull. Jo Kent reports. | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
A herd of dairy cows being tested for bovine TB. The tests are | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
routine in this low-risk part of Hampshire every four years, but in | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
March one of this herd tested positive. Others were found to be | :12:40. | :12:47. | |
borderline cases. The farmer did not want to be interviewed on | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
camera, but this is a worrying time. Three of his head have had to be | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
slaughtered, although subsequent investigations showed no trace of | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
the disease. The testing is only 80% accurate but in the meantime | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
the farmers effectively closed down, he is unable to sell any of these | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
cards, which has financial cost and great emotional stress. To get back | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
on track, a farm which has had a positive result will have to pass | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
two more tests 60 days apart. The testing and compensation for | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
farmers who have animals slaughtered all comes at a cost - | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
around �100 million of taxpayers' money a year. 32,000 cattle were | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
slaughtered because of bovine TB last year. The figure was just | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
6,000 ten years ago. Farmer Neil Cutler used to head up the animal | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
health branch of the National Farmer's Union, and is worried | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
about the spread of the disease. Like many farmers, he supports a | :13:36. | :13:45. | |
badger cull. We have got healthy badgers here, as far as we know, in | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
most parts of Hampshire, probably all of Hampshire, and we would like | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
it to stay that way. We have never been talking about a national cull | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
of badgers, we have been talking about a targeted cull in certain | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
areas to reduce the load of the disease in that area and enable | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
cattle controls to work as well. However, animal rights campaigners | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
believe it is unnecessary. Badgers are on the fringe of this, by far | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
the major contribution will be made by the cattle controls that the | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
government has already put in and intensified. A vaccine for bovine | :14:19. | :14:25. | |
TB would be the ideal solution, but that is still years away. Farmers | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
want action now to stop it spreading. | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
Wildlife conservationists in Dorset have begun a new scheme aimed at | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
encouraging dog owners to keep their animals under control during | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
the ground nesting season for birds. A similar move several years ago in | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
the New Forest resulted in protests from dog walkers. So will this one, | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
which is intended to be less authoritarian, work for the | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
heathland in Dorset? Chris Coneybeer reports. | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
Not long now and the season will be over, but a few birds are still | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
making nests on the ground in the hope of raising some of spring. | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
Lapwings, nightjars and the Dartford warbler among them. It is | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
a tough job with predators like crows and foxes around, and other | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
dangers, especially dogs. A few years ago in the New Forest, | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
docking stones were -- dog free zones were proposed for when the | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
birds were vulnerable. The plan was to close some car parks to | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
discourage people from using certain areas but the suggestion | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
caused outrage. Dog owners thought the Forest should be open to their | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
pets. Now, in Dorset, they are trying to tackle the same problem | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
with a new initiative. Signs are going up. It is a traffic light | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
system. Green means dogs can run free, amber, they must be on a lead, | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
and red means banned. Bed numbers have been declining over the years, | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
so we are trying to help protect them -- bird numbers. A dog running | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
through the heathland can frighten the birds, and if they disturb them | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
enough times they will be frightened and wait. But success | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
depends on the reaction of dog owners. -- frightened away. I am | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
used to walking my dog without a lead, so it will be annoying, but | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
if it is to protect birds, it is worth it. Would you put your dog on | :16:18. | :16:24. | |
a lead he saw the sign? No. I would keep my dog under control, but he | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
does not like going on a lead. the open heathland, the signs are | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
being rolled out. At the nearby nature reserve they are already in | :16:33. | :16:43. | |
:16:43. | :16:46. | ||
place and generally being reserved -- being respected. | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - you will know him as creator of the master | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
sleuth Sherlock Holmes. What you may not know is that he was also a | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
one-time Surrey resident. This is where he lived from 1897 to 1907 - | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
Undershaw House, an Edwardian villa at Hindhead. But now a plan to | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
convert the building into nine townhouses has ended up in the | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
courts. On one side, Waverley Borough Council. On the other, a | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
Conan Doyle enthusiast who is funding the legal battle himself. | :17:12. | :17:19. | |
Sarah-Jane Bungay explains. "An endless sea of greenery, ranges | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
of hills piling up, one behind the other, in undulations of varying | :17:22. | :17:29. | |
blue". The view which inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to create his | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
literary magic at Undershaw remains the same. But the house where he | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
penned classics like The Hound Of The Baskervilles has changed | :17:35. | :17:43. | |
somewhat. What we would like to see is these major rooms retained | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
broadly in their current form. Derelict for several years, the | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
council says its decision to grant permission for a conversion into | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
townhouses at least secures the building's future. Or timidly, the | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
building does need to have the use, I am happy for people to live in it | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
to maintain it. We are concerned that any of the use did not seem | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
viable, so we thought this was the best use to protect the building | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
and give it a good future. Those fighting to keep it as it is to | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
have some high-profile backing. The actor Stephen Fry have said -- has | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
said if the house is divided up, it will be foolish, short-sighted and | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
nothing less than wanton vandalism. John Gibson is a passionate man. | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
Changing it substantially and denying the public any future | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
access would, in his eyes, be the ultimate crime. He is taking | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
Waverley Borough Council to the High Court, arguing they acted | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
unlawfully in granting the planning permission. It's an action he is | :18:41. | :18:48. | |
funding alone. By a am not a rich man, this will hurt me financially | :18:48. | :18:55. | |
but I consider it an honour to take this case. It will be an absolute | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
disgrace, it would be a terrible loss. With so many twists and turns | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
in the story of this house, Sherlock Holmes himself may have | :19:02. | :19:12. | |
:19:12. | :19:16. | ||
struggled to solve the mystery of what will ultimately happen to it. | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
On to sport, Roger is here. I have not said this for a long time, but | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
let's start with football. How long to go? It is a month and two Day. | :19:26. | :19:32. | |
thought it was less than a month. It comes around quickly. Brighton | :19:32. | :19:42. | |
:19:42. | :19:42. | ||
have smashed their transfer record, moving to a new stadium. | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
For 31 years, Brighton's transfer record stood at half a million | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
pounds for Andy Ritchie in 1980. Last month, they finally broke that, | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
signing Will Buckley from Watford for a million. They are not putting | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
a figure on the deal to sign 27- year-old striker Craig Mackail- | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
Smith from Peterborough, but it is understood to be around �3 million. | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
He has signed a four-year contract today and, for the second time in | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
the space of a few weeks, they have smashed a decades-old club record. | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
Mackail-Smith posed at Albion's brand new Amex Stadium, as if to | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
underline the club's burgeoning ambitions. | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
It is an exciting thing for me to come here. The way they play, they | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
create chances, and as a striker you want to be in a team that | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
creates chances. To get to the Premiership is the ultimate aim, | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
and I feel Brighton are pushing back and I want to be involved in | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
that. A cracking player as well, and apparently West Ham were also | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
interested in him, so well done to Brighton. | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
Portsmouth's players returned to training this morning after their | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
summer break with the need for new faces obvious to anyone watching. | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
Pompey only had nine professionals on the training pitch. There are | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
three more still to return, so a starting eleven and one substitute | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
for the new Championship season. But with the new owners Convers | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
Sports Initiatives now in place, the Pompey boss is hoping for a | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
brisk recruitment drive. Although you will notice he is choosing his | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
words carefully. We need to fulfil our scored a | :20:56. | :21:05. | |
little bit more, really. -- our squad. We know that. It is ongoing. | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
It has been busy all summer. A lot of the deals are there, lined up, | :21:09. | :21:17. | |
really. It is just, you know, down to getting them across the line. | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
He has got a lot on his my. One match under way in the | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
cricket's 2020 competition this evening. Cricket -- Sussex have | :21:26. | :21:36. | |
gone off like a train -- sorry have gone off like a train. Steve Davis | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
is currently 65 not out. Finally, a young golfer who puts | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
hackers like me to shame! Leo Millar has developed into a | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
talented player, even though he was born with only one hand. Now, a | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
Dorset company has invented a new prosthetic which could help him | :21:48. | :21:55. | |
improve his game even more. Dani Like most ten-year-olds, Leo is | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
into his sport. Born with one hand, he has had to adapt the way he does | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
things. Karate was his first love. Now a brown belt, he is two levels | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
away from getting his black one. And his progression is partly due | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
to a specially designed prosthetic. But when it comes to playing golf, | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
that design won't do. Leo needs a grip that allows him to swing with | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
both hands. And it is in this Dorset workshop where engineers | :22:21. | :22:31. | |
have come up with the bionic solution. It changes their lives. | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
Leo would never be able to play golf at a competitive level without | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
this device, so it actually puts him on a level playing field with | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
everybody else. It completely changes his life. Presented with | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
this bespoke hand grip, Leo's dreams of becoming a professional | :22:45. | :22:51. | |
golfer have moved a step closer. feel very happy that I have got a | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
hand now, because I can do a lot more with it. Hopefully it will | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
change my life, now I can get money by playing golf and give some to my | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
family and made them a lot better. Like his swing, this young | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
sportsman's drive is at the heart of everything he does. Leo is | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
special. He is truly special because of his attitude. I have | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
never said to him, go and do something, and he has come back and | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
said, I can't do it. Whatever I give him, he will find a way of | :23:21. | :23:30. | |
doing it. Aiming high. Could this be the Rory McIlroy of the future? | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
What a guy, extremely talented. Good look. I hope it goes well for | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
him. -- good luck. It returned to our main story, one | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
person has been killed after two light aircraft collided over | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
Shoreham in Sussex this afternoon. Tony Husband is there for us. What | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
can you tell us? What developments? Salih, we are hoping to hear from | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
the officer in charge at the Recreation Ground just close to | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
Shoreham town-centre in the next few minutes to update us on what | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
happened at 4:30pm This afternoon a couple of hundred yards from a | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
children's play area. Two light aircraft are believed to have | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
collided in mid-air. It is thought one of them was taking off from | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
nearby Shoreham Airport, one of the aircraft crashed into this | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
Recreation Ground, the other managed to make a shake -- a safe | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
landing at Shoreham Airport. The pilot of the plane that crashed | :24:26. | :24:33. | |
here behind the was declared dead at the scene, no injuries from any | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
people who saw the incident on the ground. We had a lot of eyewitness | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
reports. A massive police operation has now begun, coastguard | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
helicopters were scrambled, life boat as well have been searching | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
the nearby river from all parts of the wreckage. This is a huge police | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
operation, many roads have been closer banned the area so it will | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
be difficult for people getting in and out of Shoreham tonight -- many | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
roads have been closed around the area. We are hoping to get more | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
information, but one person has been killed after two light | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
aircraft crashed near Shoreham Airport. | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
Tony, thank you very much. We will have more on that in the late news | :25:16. | :25:25. | |
Straight onto the weather, them. Yes, it has been a lovely day and | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
it will continue for part of the day tomorrow but then it turns | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
unsettled. We have low-pressure moving in from the Atlantic. Today | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
in Oxfordshire we saw 24 Celsius. Tomorrow it will drop four degrees | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
down to 20 Celsius. Temperatures this week will start to slide away. | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
A dry night, increasing cloud cover in the morning, particularly the | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
further west you are. Where we have clear skies, temperatures was a | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
mild, in double figures. In some countryside areas, expect lows of | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
13, 14 Celsius. You can see the rain behind me arriving in Dorset | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
late morning, 10am, 11am, spreading towards the east throughout the day. | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
There will be some respite, temperatures at their highest the | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
further west you are. Temperatures will start falling away with the | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
rain rattling its way through. Clearing tomorrow night followed by | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
a few showers, which may be heavy in some places. One or two clear | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
spells, but temperatures will stay mild yet again, so another | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
uncomfortable night for sleeping. On Wednesday, a couple of showers | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
drifting around and another band of rain waiting in the wings of their | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
stay, which will be a mixture of sun is bows and scattered showers, | :26:46. | :26:52. | |
and the winners will start to pick up speed, -- sunny spells. As we | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
head to Friday, low-pressure still in charge, not going anywhere | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
quickly, various weather fronts heading our way, which could be | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
heavy in places. The rest of the week will be unsettled, sunny | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
spells and scattered showers. A dry start for eastern areas tomorrow | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
will allow temperatures to rise to around 23 Celsius. Under the cloud | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
and in the rain, temperatures into the high teens. It will not be as | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
warm as it was at the weekend, and the winds will pick up speed, with | :27:27. | :27:32. |
