:00:03. > :00:06.Hello, welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme:
:00:06. > :00:09.Cuts at the QA - hundreds of jobs are to go among nurses and midwives
:00:09. > :00:19.at the south's newest hospital Praise for the pilot who avoided
:00:19. > :00:22.
:00:22. > :00:26.houses before his plane crashed. didn't just like a hero, but he
:00:26. > :00:29.actually died being my family's saviour.
:00:29. > :00:34.Remembering Sebastian, the young boy who was the inspiration for
:00:34. > :00:37.this new respite centre which will help families. I can't describe how
:00:37. > :00:40.important it is to be together for a week in a place like this.
:00:40. > :00:50.And move over Stig - it's top gear as synchronised scooters burn
:00:50. > :00:56.
:00:57. > :01:01.rubber. Don't say I can't do it, because you can.
:01:01. > :01:03.One in ten staff at Portsmouth's main hospital could lose their jobs.
:01:03. > :01:05.We've seen documents revealing plans to cut nearly 200 nursing and
:01:05. > :01:11.midwifery posts at the Queen Alexandra hospital, including
:01:11. > :01:16.almost all of their pool and agency staff. In total, nearly 600 posts
:01:16. > :01:18.could go before next April. Managers have refused to comment,
:01:18. > :01:25.beyond saying they are only planning 99 redundancies at the
:01:25. > :01:28.moment, as part of a plan to save �30 million. But unions say the
:01:28. > :01:35.care patients receive could be affected. Our Health Correspondent
:01:36. > :01:41.David Fenton has this. Pauline Mauger gave birth 7 weeks
:01:41. > :01:51.ago. It was not a happy experience. The midwives were so busy they left
:01:51. > :01:54.her 15 minutes after the baby was born. She got checked, then it
:01:55. > :02:01.might disappear, and it was my mum that had to clean me and the baby
:02:01. > :02:04.up. I was pretty much left in my own mess and stuff. I understand
:02:04. > :02:09.they were relieved rushed off their feet but I didn't get the support
:02:09. > :02:12.that I thought I would. Fortunately, Pauline and baby Neveah were fine,
:02:12. > :02:20.but plans to cut midwives and nurses at the Queen Alexandra are
:02:20. > :02:26.now worrying patients, professionals and unions. I think
:02:26. > :02:31.some services are going to stop. You can't just take 10% are, then
:02:31. > :02:35.another 10% and another, and deal with the same volume of patient
:02:35. > :02:39.care. The hospital needs to save �30 million this year and it's
:02:39. > :02:46.already announced 99 redundancies. Figures we have seen suggest there
:02:46. > :02:52.could be many more - up to one in ten of staff jobs. If it did turn
:02:52. > :02:57.out to be that high, I would have great concern about the level of
:02:57. > :03:00.nurses being reduced. The figure does seem excessively high. This is
:03:00. > :03:03.a sensitive issue. Last year, there were protests when midwives were
:03:03. > :03:12.temporarily moved out of birthing centres and back to the QA to cope
:03:12. > :03:20.with a surge in births over Christmas. -- it is not only
:03:20. > :03:23.nursing and midwifery posts that could go. The workforce plan
:03:23. > :03:25.suggests... 19 consultant jobs could also be cut... Along with 94
:03:25. > :03:29.doctors from bank and agency staff... And managers don't escape
:03:29. > :03:32.either - 26 could lose their jobs. These cuts may sound drastic - but
:03:32. > :03:41.at the moment they're just figures on a piece of paper; and it's not
:03:41. > :03:46.yet clear how far the hospital will go in carrying them out. How likely
:03:46. > :03:51.that these jobs will go? I think it is difficult to save. I would be
:03:51. > :03:55.very surprised if all of the jobs in his work force plan will
:03:55. > :03:58.actually go up by the end of the year. Equally I will be surprised
:03:58. > :04:03.if he's 99 redundancies, which is what they are talking about at the
:04:03. > :04:07.moment, are the only jobs which go, because they need is it �30 million.
:04:07. > :04:13.That is not going to do that. is not the only hospital doing
:04:13. > :04:19.this? They are all making cuts. Home General Hospital, 29 nursing
:04:19. > :04:25.jobs. The Royal Berkshire, they cut a lot of the agency staff but to
:04:25. > :04:33.gone 120 full-time nurses because it was cheaper. -- took on. Cue a
:04:33. > :04:37.also doing a same thing. This is the first time we are the frontline
:04:37. > :04:40.staff been cut. He was my family's saviour, a real
:04:40. > :04:43.hero - the tribute paid to the pilot who managed to avoid crashing
:04:43. > :04:46.into houses and people on the ground following yesterday's mid-
:04:46. > :04:50.air collision at Shoreham airport. He died in the accident but a
:04:50. > :04:54.second plane landed safely. Tonight he has been named as Alan Weal from
:04:54. > :04:58.Worthing, who was 63 and a retired British Airways pilot. Sean Killick
:04:58. > :05:00.has the details. At Shoreham Airport today, flags at
:05:00. > :05:03.half mast in respect. A tight-knit flying community,sharing the shock
:05:03. > :05:11.and grief of what happened here yesterday afternoon, when one plane
:05:11. > :05:14.landing collided with other in mid air above the airport.
:05:14. > :05:20.Parts of one plane landed on Shoreham Beach, others on a
:05:20. > :05:24.playground. One of the aircraft crash landed via a recreation
:05:24. > :05:29.ground. It caught fire and the pilot died. Eyewitnesses told how
:05:29. > :05:34.he avoided families on the plain food. All I could see was the plane
:05:34. > :05:39.coming towards us, we've been left and right. I screamed at my right
:05:39. > :05:44.to grab the kids and run. -- my wife. There was just coming at us.
:05:44. > :05:48.We started running and I was trying to look back. The plane was coming
:05:48. > :05:53.straight for us. In the last seconds, when he was probably at
:05:53. > :06:03.the height of a tree or a house, he managed to bag left and crashed 20
:06:03. > :06:05.
:06:05. > :06:15.metres from us. We were very lucky we did not get hit by him or any
:06:15. > :06:25.
:06:25. > :06:30.debris. The pilot was Alan Weale. Another
:06:30. > :06:35.flight managed to plant safety. They displayed exceptional piloting
:06:35. > :06:40.skills. Planes taking off and landing at Shoreham are directed by
:06:40. > :06:45.the control tower. But is still the responsibility of pilots to
:06:45. > :06:48.maintain a visual check. That is not something air traffic
:06:48. > :06:58.investigators will be examining as they try to establish the cause of
:06:58. > :06:59.
:06:59. > :07:02.the collision. A military helicopter on a training
:07:02. > :07:05.flight has crash landed in a field close to the A303 in Andover. The
:07:05. > :07:07.pilot and two crew members escaped unharmed and were treated at a
:07:07. > :07:10.nearby hospital for minor injuries. Military investigators have been
:07:10. > :07:14.called in to try and determine exactly what caused the Puma
:07:14. > :07:17.helicopter to come down. Emergency services say it could have been
:07:17. > :07:23.much worse. Not far away there are housing
:07:23. > :07:27.estates. Next door, an area under development, lots of workers there.
:07:27. > :07:31.Whatever the aircraft crew did to get to this field, they have done a
:07:31. > :07:33.good job. They are all alive and that is the right result. The
:07:33. > :07:36.consequences do not bear thinking a but.
:07:36. > :07:39.South Today can reveal that councils in the south spent nearly
:07:39. > :07:42.�13 million planning for new schools, most of which were never
:07:42. > :07:45.built. They were cancelled when the Building Schools for the Future
:07:45. > :07:52.project was scrapped 12 months ago. Critics say the money has been
:07:52. > :07:56.wasted. Charlotte McCathie reports. One year ago today, this go and
:07:56. > :08:02.find out her skill would not be getting a makeover. -- and this
:08:02. > :08:08.girl find out her school. In the winter it is a bit school and in
:08:08. > :08:12.the summer it is really hot. Last summer, her father organised a
:08:12. > :08:16.protest against the decision to withdraw funding. In is an old
:08:16. > :08:21.school which needs investment. It is not too much to ask that our
:08:21. > :08:24.children have a decent building to learn in. Across the city, the King
:08:24. > :08:29.Richard's school was just weeks away from signing a building
:08:29. > :08:33.contract. I have been told by a senior source that a surveyor gave
:08:33. > :08:38.his building just four years until it falls down. He said there are no
:08:38. > :08:42.disabled facilities and the rooms are falling in. He said the
:08:42. > :08:47.children's have been badly let down. Both projects were cancelled when
:08:47. > :08:53.the coalition axed the Building Schools for the Future scheme. New
:08:53. > :08:57.figures show councils in the South spent nearly �13 million, mostly on
:08:57. > :09:06.projects that were later scrap. Portsmouth spent nearly �3.5
:09:06. > :09:09.million. 11 projects.. One academy received the money. We wasted money
:09:09. > :09:13.on consultants and we could have spent it effectively in these
:09:13. > :09:18.schools. Now they will not have it. It is like Third World countries. I
:09:18. > :09:22.am ashamed to say there in that state and we need to do something.
:09:22. > :09:32.More than half the schools were giving funding to proceed, they
:09:32. > :09:32.
:09:32. > :09:35.were all academy. -- academies. only people that seemed to be
:09:35. > :09:40.getting many other schools blackmailed into becoming academies.
:09:40. > :09:50.They are told the only way to become a decent building for
:09:50. > :09:59.
:09:59. > :10:09.Portsmouth City Council says it is looking at ways to help the skills
:10:09. > :10:10.
:10:10. > :10:20.that missed out. Still to,... The stars of
:10:20. > :10:27.
:10:27. > :10:30.synchronised scooters perform their daring display.
:10:30. > :10:34.For people like Michael Bowden, farming is in the blood. His family
:10:34. > :10:37.has been milking cows for more than a century but he has the difficult
:10:37. > :10:39.task of bringing that tradition to an end. The Berkshire farmer is
:10:39. > :10:43.preparing to say goodbye to his dairy cattle, because he's losing
:10:43. > :10:45.too much money. The county has lost a third of its dairy farmers in the
:10:45. > :10:48.last five years. They may not have always had such
:10:48. > :10:52.an easy way of getting round the farm but for more than a century,
:10:52. > :10:57.life here has revolved around the natural cycles that govern how we
:10:57. > :11:02.get our milk. This afternoon, as the cars were led into the milking
:11:02. > :11:07.parlour, all of that was coming to an end. Nobody was feeling the loss
:11:07. > :11:14.more than Simon. He has been 20 years a herdsman, more than half of
:11:14. > :11:18.those on this farm. One car gone already would have been one of the
:11:18. > :11:25.first cars I milked. She would have been one of the first heifer as I
:11:25. > :11:29.ever milk. Seeing her in a lorry, well, it is very upsetting. Doing
:11:29. > :11:33.this for the last time, I did not know if I was going to be able to.
:11:33. > :11:41.Friends and neighbours have rallied round to have loaded the animals
:11:41. > :11:46.for market. Car around -- Caroline gave up her own herd to help sedate.
:11:46. > :11:49.It is a hard decision to make but he has no option. The barns are
:11:49. > :11:55.falling apart and he has not got the support he needs. There is no
:11:55. > :12:01.money in it and he cannot reinvest. We have all put on a brave face for
:12:01. > :12:07.him. It is very hard. The fact that these cars are being shipped out
:12:07. > :12:11.says much of the dairy industry in Berkshire. The case is it is no
:12:11. > :12:17.longer worthwhile trying to sell them in this country as there are
:12:17. > :12:26.no Dairy Farm has left to buy them. And so the farm fell quiet. I hope
:12:26. > :12:36.they get there safely and they find nice forms to go to, for they are
:12:36. > :12:40.
:12:40. > :12:43.looked after. And then we move on to something else.
:12:43. > :12:53.We'll have another report from Joe Campbell tomorrow as Michael's herd
:12:53. > :12:54.
:12:54. > :12:57.go under the hammer. Another problem for farmers is what to do
:12:57. > :13:02.with all of them manure from livestock. If you mix it with food
:13:02. > :13:10.waste, you can create gas which can be earned for energy. It is a
:13:10. > :13:20.process called Arabic digestion. It is getting the residents of one
:13:20. > :13:25.
:13:25. > :13:27.Hampshire village very irritated. But plans for a digester at a
:13:27. > :13:29.brickworks near Selborne were rejected by the council. Today
:13:29. > :13:33.there was an appeal and Roger Finn went along.
:13:33. > :13:41.An Arabic digester takes waste trade and farm manure, put it in
:13:41. > :13:47.heated tanks, work bacteria munch at its and produce gas. What is
:13:47. > :13:52.left over can be used as fertiliser. There is plan to put one here at
:13:52. > :13:59.the brickwork. Its owner blamed the price of gas for the closure, which
:13:59. > :14:05.accounts for 70% of the cost of producing a break. An anaerobic
:14:05. > :14:12.digester produces an identical gas and captors heat that would be
:14:12. > :14:19.wasted from the kilns. There is a lovely symbiosis. The waste heat
:14:19. > :14:24.fires the bricks. The proposed plan would import 20,000 tonnes of food
:14:24. > :14:30.waste each year and local fruit -- farm manure, all to doubt into a
:14:30. > :14:38.seat handing shed. That I jesters would sit in leggings held from
:14:38. > :14:43.view. -- by jesters. Local people worry about the extra 100 lorry
:14:44. > :14:51.movements here each week. We have already lorry traffic going through.
:14:51. > :14:57.Any increase would be, we believe, bad news for the village. It is a
:14:57. > :15:00.red herring so gas can be produced and sold to the National Grid.
:15:00. > :15:03.appeal inspector is and expected to make a recommendations in the
:15:03. > :15:05.autumn. A very special dream came true
:15:05. > :15:08.today. It was an idea nine-year-old Sebastian Gates from Berkshire
:15:09. > :15:13.shared with his mum just days before he died from cancer back in
:15:13. > :15:16.2003. Today, his very proud mum, Jane, and hundreds who have helped
:15:16. > :15:21.her, came to celebrate the opening of a holiday respite home, where
:15:21. > :15:26.seriously ill children can take a break with their whole family.
:15:26. > :15:33.Allen Sinclair reports. When he came up with the idea,
:15:33. > :15:37.Sebastian knew it would never be a place he himself would get to stay.
:15:37. > :15:44.But 100 families a year will now be able to come here for a holiday,
:15:45. > :15:48.free of charge, to spend precious time together. We haven't been on
:15:48. > :15:51.holiday for two years so it will be nice to. Other children need to as
:15:51. > :15:57.well. I can't describe how important it is to be together for
:15:58. > :16:07.a week. I saw this place two years ago when it was just mud and
:16:07. > :16:12.thought, what can come out of this? It is just amazing. This facility
:16:12. > :16:18.will give them a chance to recharge their batteries and Foster being a
:16:18. > :16:22.family. That is important when you have the pressures faced by parents,
:16:22. > :16:25.siblings and wider families of sick children. Among the hundreds of
:16:25. > :16:31.supporters at today's launch was Olympic Gold medallist David Wilkie,
:16:31. > :16:41.patron of the trust, who with Charlie's help christened the pool.
:16:41. > :16:46.Go! WHISTLE BLOWS. This is an opportunity to forget hardship at
:16:46. > :16:48.home and take a week off. This is a sanctuary where families can simply
:16:48. > :16:58.be themselves... Making memories, and forgetting their day to day
:16:58. > :17:11.
:17:11. > :17:15.difficulties for a while. Now we move on to sport. I am
:17:15. > :17:19.watching about the policing of the Olympic venue, which will be
:17:19. > :17:25.extraordinary? If you imagine, it is such a
:17:25. > :17:29.mammoth task to organise all the security. In fact, difficult,
:17:29. > :17:37.painful and challenging is how the man in charge of policing in Dorset
:17:37. > :17:40.for the Olympics and use the job of ensuring a trouble free games.
:17:40. > :17:43.Assistant Chief Constable Adrian Whiting and his team are already at
:17:43. > :17:45.an advanced stage of planning. And as Bob Everett reports, it's as
:17:45. > :17:48.much about motorists as terrorists. International yachtsmen and women
:17:48. > :17:51.aren't the only ones doing the hard yards before next year's Olympics
:17:51. > :18:01.in Dorset. The county's police force is at it too - buoyed up by
:18:01. > :18:04.timely funding from the Home Office. 19.4 million is a significant
:18:04. > :18:09.contribution that had local tax payers had to find it, or had it
:18:09. > :18:12.had to come from the 4th's budget, would have been untenable.
:18:12. > :18:15.Terrorism is inevitably covered by the security plans for Weymouth and
:18:15. > :18:18.Portland. But the success of the Dorset police operation will also
:18:18. > :18:28.be measured by how well they can keep normal systems going during
:18:28. > :18:28.
:18:28. > :18:35.the Games. None of the security arrangements can be so restricted
:18:35. > :18:37.that people simply cannot continue to trade off go about their lives.
:18:37. > :18:39.The biggest single police concern outside terrorism is unquestionably
:18:39. > :18:45.transport. Improved traffic measures will help, but won't
:18:45. > :18:53.address all the pinch points. At peak times, 500 of the County's
:18:53. > :18:58.1300 strong force will be on Olympic duty. -- it is as large a
:18:58. > :19:02.consideration as some parts of the security. It can be a big challenge
:19:02. > :19:08.in midsummer, when the infrastructure is pushed anyway.
:19:08. > :19:13.peak times, 500 of the county's 3 - - 1,300 strong force will be on
:19:13. > :19:23.duty. Even so, ensuring a pain-free visitor experience will be a truly
:19:23. > :19:30.
:19:30. > :19:33.Olympian task. Some football news and Hal Robson
:19:33. > :19:36.Kanu has signed a new three year contract to stay at Reading. The
:19:36. > :19:39.22-year-old midfielder scored six goals in 15 appearances for the
:19:39. > :19:41.Royals last season and will now stay at the Madjeski Stadium until
:19:41. > :19:44.2014. Meanwhile, Portsmouth are close to signing former Derby
:19:44. > :19:47.striker, Luke Varney. The players has undergone a medical at the club
:19:47. > :19:49.and they're expected to make an announcement in the morning. We
:19:49. > :19:51.understand Pompey are also in advanced talks with goalkeeper
:19:51. > :19:54.Stephen Henderson. Bournemouth are looking into signing Adam Barrett.
:19:54. > :19:57.In last night's T20 cricket, Surrey pulled off an 18 run victory over
:19:57. > :20:00.rivals Sussex. Steven Davies was instrumental in the win. He batted
:20:00. > :20:03.throughout, finishing just shy of a century on 99 not out as Surrey
:20:03. > :20:08.made 203. Luke Wright smashed five sixes for Sussex in reply but the
:20:08. > :20:11.visitors lost momentum in the last few overs, reaching 185.
:20:11. > :20:16.Let's have a look where that leaves things in the bigger picture.
:20:16. > :20:21.Sussex remain in third place, Sussex remain in third place,
:20:21. > :20:24.But perhaps the big winners of the night are Hampshire, who benefit
:20:24. > :20:27.from that Sussex defeat and stay four points clear at the top. Just
:20:27. > :20:34.one more win from their remaining four games should see them in the
:20:34. > :20:37.In speedway, Elite League leaders Poole Pirates suffered a narrow
:20:37. > :20:39.defeat last night in their away fixture against the Peterborough
:20:39. > :20:42.Panthers. The Pirates found themselves trailing by ten points
:20:42. > :20:45.early on in the clash, but 12 points from skipper Davey Watt and
:20:45. > :20:49.13 points from Chris Holder, overtaking here, helped to narrow
:20:49. > :20:52.the gap and earn them a bonus point for the meeting, to finish 49-44.
:20:52. > :20:56.And in the Elite League, you can see that defeat hasn't done too
:20:56. > :20:58.much to change the Poole Pirates fortunes. They're still three
:20:58. > :21:01.points clear of Eastbourne and have two matches in hand.
:21:01. > :21:05.And it's another result for Mountain Bike Orienteering champion
:21:05. > :21:09.Emily Benham from Salisbury, who's just secured her 8th British title.
:21:09. > :21:11.You may remember we featured her a couple of weeks ago. The little-
:21:11. > :21:21.known sport involves not only mountain biking at speed, but
:21:21. > :21:23.
