:00:07. > :00:10.South Today. In tonight's programme: Sarah's Law inaction -

:00:10. > :00:14.new figures show how many paedophiles with access to children

:00:14. > :00:19.have been discovered. There must be thousands of people

:00:19. > :00:25.like me that did not know, and I thought, I would do anything to

:00:25. > :00:30.stop another person going through what I went through.

:00:30. > :00:36.Guilty of shaking a baby to death - a court hears how this man lost his

:00:36. > :00:42.temper with a four-month-old boy. Helping the Hampshire hog - to

:00:42. > :00:52.Royal plan to protect a farming way of life.

:00:52. > :01:02.

:01:03. > :01:06.Joined as for a drive in the new Figures obtained by BBC South had

:01:06. > :01:11.shown that more than a dozen convicted sex offenders have had

:01:11. > :01:17.access to children in the south in the past year. The cases have come

:01:17. > :01:22.to light and debt legislation known as Sarah's Law. It allows a parent

:01:22. > :01:25.to see whether someone has a record for sex offences. It is named after

:01:25. > :01:31.the Sussex schoolgirl murdered by a convicted sex offender more than a

:01:31. > :01:38.decade ago. We met one mother whose children were abused by a family

:01:38. > :01:45.friend. My whole world shattered. And it never was put back together

:01:45. > :01:48.again. I was completely dysfunctional. Marion is a survivor.

:01:48. > :01:53.The years, heard children were abused by a man she considered to

:01:53. > :01:57.be her best friend. For years, I never suspected a thing. But you

:01:57. > :02:02.are not looking for it. believes education of both parents

:02:02. > :02:05.and children is the key to preventing abuse. Others they their

:02:05. > :02:09.information. Sarah's Law allows people to check if people who come

:02:09. > :02:14.into contact with their children have a history of abuse. All police

:02:14. > :02:18.forces in the UK had to adopt it this year. In total, 240

:02:18. > :02:23.applications were made to police forces in the South asking them to

:02:23. > :02:28.check on individuals. Of those checks, 25 disclosed that person as

:02:28. > :02:32.a registered sex offender. That is one in ten of all applications.

:02:32. > :02:36.Across the region, the largest number were in Hampshire with 12

:02:36. > :02:44.cases. But Hampshire's scheme has also been running the longest

:02:44. > :02:49.because it was a trial area. Mark Ash thought was responsible for the

:02:49. > :02:54.original pilot. He retired last week, leaving Sarah's Law as an

:02:54. > :02:59.integral part of day-to-day policing. What we found in almost

:02:59. > :03:02.every case his people had very good reason to be concerned. Sometimes

:03:02. > :03:06.that generated child protection inquiries, sometimes the need for

:03:07. > :03:13.urgent action to be taken by authorities. We did not want to put

:03:13. > :03:17.a barrier or threshold about applications. You don't even have

:03:17. > :03:21.to have a hunch. Critics say Sarah's Law has the potential to

:03:21. > :03:26.drive convicted paedophiles underground. These were the scenes

:03:26. > :03:30.over a decade ago when world -- when word got out about suspected

:03:30. > :03:33.paedophiles living in the area. Far from leading to a flood of

:03:33. > :03:41.applications, Sarah's Law has resulted in a steady flow with

:03:41. > :03:48.fairly high success rates. But the sum, questions will always remain.

:03:48. > :03:55.-- but for some people. It does not mean other people on the list are

:03:55. > :03:59.not in the same frame, it just means they have not been caught.

:03:59. > :04:03.Detectives are questioning a 43- year-old man on suspicion of murder

:04:03. > :04:08.after a man died from serious injuries in Aldershot. Police were

:04:08. > :04:11.called in the early hours of this morning after reports of a fight.

:04:11. > :04:15.The 45-year-old victim was taken to Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey

:04:15. > :04:18.where he was pronounced dead. Witnesses are being urged to come

:04:18. > :04:23.forward. A man has appeared in court charged

:04:23. > :04:26.with attempted murder after another man was badly injured in Brighton.

:04:26. > :04:31.The 33-year-old victim was attacked before being involved in a car

:04:31. > :04:37.collision on Saturday. A 55-year- old was remanded in custody and

:04:37. > :04:42.will appear in Lewes Crown Court on Friday. Two women will also appear

:04:42. > :04:46.on assault charges. It 26-year-old man has been found

:04:46. > :04:49.guilty of shaking a baby to death. The court heard how Colin Scholey

:04:49. > :04:56.had lost his temper while he was looking after four-month-old Thomas

:04:56. > :05:02.Preece at his home. Thomas died of severe head injuries. Our reporter

:05:02. > :05:09.was in Reading Crown Court. In court, Colin Scholey was

:05:09. > :05:13.described as a man with experience looking after children. But in June

:05:13. > :05:18.2009, he lost his temper and a baby left in his care was left her it so

:05:18. > :05:23.badly he died in hospital. Thomas Preece, the four-month-old son of

:05:23. > :05:30.his girlfriend's sister was left here, at his flat. When the boy's

:05:30. > :05:33.mother returned, it she found him barely breathing. He was taken to a

:05:33. > :05:37.nearby medical centre where GPs tried their best to save his life.

:05:38. > :05:43.He was then brought to this hospital in Oxford. 13 hours later,

:05:43. > :05:48.he died. The prosecution's case relied heavily on medical evidence

:05:48. > :05:51.and expert opinion. Senior doctors told the court that the most likely

:05:51. > :05:56.explanation for the boy's head injuries was that Colin Scholey had

:05:56. > :06:05.lost his temper and violently shaken Thomas Preece, causing

:06:05. > :06:12.severe brain damage. Because of the injuries, then the vast expertise

:06:12. > :06:17.of clinicians needs to be employed and that was presented so that the

:06:17. > :06:23.jury can decide. It took a jury six hours to find Aberdeen-Angus guilty

:06:23. > :06:27.of manslaughter. A statement from the boy's mother was read out. She

:06:27. > :06:30.described her son as a beautiful boy. She returned that night she

:06:30. > :06:36.referred to Colin Scholey as a man she knew and had thought she could

:06:36. > :06:43.trust. Tonight committee is behind bars.

:06:43. > :06:47.-- tonight, he is behind bars. The family of a woman hit by a bus

:06:47. > :06:51.in Brighton is facing a bit have been jailed after they allegedly

:06:51. > :06:54.helped her fate the extent of her injuries. Thereza Daoud tried to

:06:54. > :06:58.claim �1.5 million after she was struck by a past five years ago.

:06:58. > :07:01.But lawyers for Brighton and Hove Bus Company say she was caught out

:07:02. > :07:05.after being secretly filmed. Ben Moore was in the High Court today

:07:05. > :07:10.and I spoke to him before coming on air. Aston to explain the

:07:10. > :07:15.circumstances of the case. There is no debate this was a

:07:15. > :07:19.tragic accident that led to this appearing in court. Thereza Daoud,

:07:19. > :07:23.then 50 years old, was hit by a double-decker bus in Brighton and

:07:23. > :07:28.suffered severe injuries. Within a fortnight, the family had brought

:07:28. > :07:38.an action against the Brighton and Hove coach and bus company for �1.5

:07:38. > :07:38.

:07:38. > :07:43.million. Today, that family was in court. Her husband and daughters

:07:43. > :07:46.were in the dock, accused of lying and presenting Thereza Daoud as a

:07:46. > :07:50.grossly disabled wreck of a woman. The bus company says that is not

:07:50. > :07:54.the case and they have surveillance the lead -- surveillance video that

:07:54. > :08:00.shows her behaving normally, going shopping and going to the

:08:00. > :08:04.hairdresser's. Give us more detail.

:08:04. > :08:10.Thereza Daoud is not as are charged with anything. The defence say that

:08:10. > :08:14.this is presumably because she is too ill. Her eldest daughter did

:08:14. > :08:17.take to the stand today. She was asked if she had seen the

:08:17. > :08:21.surveillance of a mother at a wedding going quickly up some

:08:22. > :08:25.stairs and aided. She said she had and she wished -- and she was

:08:25. > :08:29.shocked although she did not think her mother deceived her. The

:08:29. > :08:33.defence say the victim is severely disabled and all family members

:08:33. > :08:39.denied any wrongdoing. This is a highly unusual case.

:08:39. > :08:46.Yes, it is being heard by two High Court judges. There is no jury

:08:46. > :08:49.involved. It is a civil case. The family accepted a �40,000 out-of-

:08:50. > :08:54.court settlement the first time. They did not see one penny because

:08:54. > :08:59.swiftly afterwards the bus company brought this civil content action.

:08:59. > :09:03.It is a civil case but there are criminal consequences in this trial.

:09:03. > :09:08.Should the family members be found guilty, they could actually go to

:09:08. > :09:12.prison. The case is expected to last four days.

:09:12. > :09:17.The drive of a forklift truck has died after his vehicle overturned

:09:17. > :09:20.in Newbury town centre. Police were called just after 9am this morning.

:09:20. > :09:25.Northbrook Street was closed but has now reopened. The man has not

:09:25. > :09:28.yet been identified. The RSPCA has tonight confirmed

:09:28. > :09:32.that 17 birds found dead in Worthing over the past few weeks

:09:32. > :09:35.have been shot with an air rifle. Two dead baby seagulls were found

:09:35. > :09:41.on the roof of flats near Durrington Station today. Magpies,

:09:41. > :09:45.pigeons and a dove were also recovered. The organisation says

:09:45. > :09:49.shooting wild birds is illegal and the corporate will be prosecuted if

:09:49. > :09:55.caught. It is sick, really. We are in an area of Worthing when

:09:55. > :09:58.normally there would be a lot of noise of sea gulls, particularly at

:09:59. > :10:02.this time of year when they are raising their young. But it is

:10:02. > :10:06.silent. New figures show the South has

:10:06. > :10:12.escaped the worst effects of unemployment in recent years. The

:10:12. > :10:16.figures from the Office of National Statistics reveal that the West

:10:16. > :10:19.Midlands has had the biggest increase in job losses since 2005.

:10:19. > :10:23.But the south-east had the lowest increase and still has the lowest

:10:23. > :10:29.unemployment rate. The new hi-tech tunnel will open

:10:29. > :10:31.next week. The Transport Secretary will open the long-awaited, multi-

:10:31. > :10:35.million-pound project next Wednesday. It will be the longest

:10:35. > :10:40.of its kind in the UK. Construction work on the scheme began four-and-

:10:40. > :10:44.a-half years ago in January 2007. It is being opened within budget

:10:44. > :10:46.and on schedule. Still to come in this evening's

:10:46. > :10:53.South Today: Feeling hungry? Roger Finn tucks

:10:53. > :10:57.into a farmyard story. Join me in one of the sub's finest

:10:57. > :11:05.restaurants to find out how the Prince of Wales is helping to

:11:05. > :11:09.preserve the Hampshire hog. 60 years of shared history have

:11:09. > :11:14.been marked in West Berkshire today as the town of Thatcham conferred

:11:14. > :11:18.its highest possible on air - the Freedom of the town - on the Army

:11:18. > :11:21.Training Unit based on his doorstep. The Royal School of Military Survey

:11:21. > :11:31.trains soldiers in map-making skills which have proved vital to

:11:31. > :11:34.

:11:34. > :11:37.those operating in war zones like Heavy rain did not dampen the

:11:37. > :11:42.enthusiastic response of the people of Thatcham, who turned out in

:11:42. > :11:47.their hundreds, flags waving, to witness the historic day for this

:11:47. > :11:50.community and the specialist military unit in their midst. The

:11:50. > :11:57.Royal School of Military Survey has been based here just outside the

:11:57. > :12:00.town for 60 years. Its teaching is renowned worldwide, and the current

:12:00. > :12:06.crop of 100 trainees had been preparing for today's event for

:12:06. > :12:11.weeks. We don't really get to do parades very often, so it is nice

:12:11. > :12:14.margin with lots of people. It makes you feel good. All the

:12:14. > :12:21.children on the side of the road cheering, everybody is in the

:12:21. > :12:25.marketplace. There is an enormous sense of pride. Today was the first

:12:25. > :12:29.time in its history that Thatcham has conferred the on of Freedom of

:12:29. > :12:33.the town in the form of a ceremonial scrawl. It acknowledges

:12:33. > :12:39.the links forged over decades between the local people and their

:12:39. > :12:43.army neighbours. I have come here to see my cousin parade through the

:12:44. > :12:53.streets and be on it. I am here to show my support for the lads on

:12:53. > :12:56.parade. They are doing great work. I think the link is very important.

:12:56. > :13:00.The soldiers are involved in a local schools, they help run our

:13:00. > :13:04.sports clubs. It is more than just having an army base. They integrate

:13:04. > :13:10.with the community. Far as to acknowledge that, you see the

:13:10. > :13:14.turnout today, they are really behind it. Today also marked the

:13:14. > :13:17.90th anniversary of the Royal British Legion. Old soldiers and

:13:17. > :13:27.new, together to acknowledge the support and pride of the community

:13:27. > :13:30.where they live. The future of Hampshire's historic

:13:30. > :13:35.pig farming industry could be saved by an unusual combination of

:13:35. > :13:38.helping hands - the Prince of Wales, and salami. The Prince's

:13:38. > :13:48.Countryside Fund has made a grant to help the farmers train in the

:13:48. > :13:52.

:13:52. > :14:01.production of exotic pork products Martin Martindale has been in pigs

:14:01. > :14:06.nearly all his life. This heard has taken a year to -- taken years to

:14:06. > :14:16.build up, but now he has to sell them. The situation is desperate. I

:14:16. > :14:19.

:14:19. > :14:27.can no longer breed pigs. It is breaking my heart. A very sad day.

:14:27. > :14:33.Martin's hopes now live with his butchery business. There are 25 pig

:14:34. > :14:40.farmers in Hampshire and many have had to diversify into selling pork

:14:40. > :14:45.products. Martin taught himself to make sausages and now the

:14:45. > :14:54.opportunity of expanding that Business could be a lifeline.

:14:54. > :15:00.you go abroad you see lots of Provence made from pork. --

:15:00. > :15:08.products. Some of Martin's pork comes to this restaurant in

:15:08. > :15:18.Winchester. It prides itself on using local produce. The owner here

:15:18. > :15:24.is the director of the Hampshire Fayre. He has just won a grant from

:15:24. > :15:30.the Prince's Trust. We need to keep things local, but there is not a

:15:30. > :15:35.lot of flexibility for having Hampshire cured meats. That could

:15:35. > :15:45.help Martin's Business survive, even if he's breeding herd have to

:15:45. > :15:48.

:15:48. > :15:51.It's a 200 mph supercar and at almost �170,000 the new McLaren is

:15:51. > :15:53.the sort of car most people can only dream of owning. But to a

:15:53. > :15:56.Shoreham company, it's an engineering project that creates

:15:56. > :15:59.dozens of jobs. Ricardo is building the car's engines, taking on the

:15:59. > :16:09.likes of Ferrari and Bugatti. And this afternoon the new production

:16:09. > :16:12.

:16:12. > :16:18.line was opened. The new McLaren is one of the

:16:18. > :16:25.world's great supercars. It beating heart is a 600 horsepower engine

:16:25. > :16:30.that comes from Shoreham. Ricardo's factory has been in Shoreham for

:16:30. > :16:36.nearly 100 years and this state of the art assembly-line it means 40

:16:36. > :16:40.new skilled jobs. The is a all new positions. All these guys are new

:16:40. > :16:47.recruits and will be trained in house. They will have a passion for

:16:47. > :16:53.cars. Each completed engine is tested in a soundproof room. This

:16:53. > :16:58.is far removed from a normal engine factory. We are an engine facility

:16:58. > :17:04.as well as a design and engineering consultancy. We have worked for

:17:04. > :17:12.many customers, but McLaren is obviously a significant clients.

:17:12. > :17:18.The engine is the world's greenest. However you measure it, it is the

:17:18. > :17:24.greenest most efficient supercar, and it is more economical than my

:17:24. > :17:29.family car. Perhaps you would not use a car like this on the school

:17:29. > :17:34.run, but the engine is astonishing and if you want to buy one, there

:17:34. > :17:38.is an 18 month waiting list. Creating jobs in England is always

:17:38. > :17:43.a great thing to do and insurance it is a little bit more challenging

:17:43. > :17:52.than some of the other areas you find engineering companies are

:17:52. > :17:58.located. But we are here because we seek quality and performance.

:17:58. > :18:08.target is to build 4,000 engines every year. The niche market for

:18:08. > :18:11.

:18:11. > :18:15.supercars is tiny, but it is also very lucrative.

:18:15. > :18:18.A memento of one of the great names of British motor sport is to be

:18:18. > :18:21.auctioned in Sussex. It's a silver cigarette case owned by this man,

:18:21. > :18:26.Sir Malcolm Campbell, the holder of the world land and water speed

:18:26. > :18:36.records in the '30s. Its current owner, who lives in Hove, was given

:18:36. > :18:42.the keepsake by his equally famous son Donald.

:18:42. > :18:47.They were a twentieth-century speed dynasty. This is Sir Malcolm

:18:48. > :18:52.Campbell, an inspirational figure who captured records on land and

:18:52. > :18:59.water for his country. His son Donald followed in his footsteps,

:18:59. > :19:08.only faster. There is just one more test run. The water conditions were

:19:09. > :19:15.really beautiful. So it is engraved? Yes. It is a Campbell

:19:15. > :19:25.heirloom - a cigarette case passed from father to son. It carries many

:19:25. > :19:26.

:19:26. > :19:32.signatures, edged in the silver. A precious family memento. He always

:19:32. > :19:38.called me darling. He said he had a present for me. I said I cannot

:19:38. > :19:46.take it, it belonged to your father. He said you other one that is going

:19:46. > :19:56.to have it. Now put your cigarette in it. I said, I haven't got any!

:19:56. > :20:00.

:20:00. > :20:08.Beryl's husband designed the famous Bluebird cars for Donald. I told my

:20:08. > :20:18.husband to go ahead designing the car. Two Bluebird cars and the boat

:20:18. > :20:22.were designed. A lot of people sit on their behinds and watch

:20:22. > :20:31.television, but what do they know? Donald Cammell wrote eight records

:20:31. > :20:41.before his death on Coniston Water in 1967. Having the connections

:20:41. > :20:41.

:20:41. > :20:48.with the Campbell family and then through to the designer of the

:20:48. > :20:58.Bluebird, it takes all the boxes. To collectors, priceless memories

:20:58. > :21:05.

:21:05. > :21:15.never come cheap. It's worth is estimated in the Thousands. Right

:21:15. > :21:16.

:21:16. > :21:21.from motors got -- motorsport to cricket.

:21:21. > :21:24.Yes, a big series. England's cricketers will hope to

:21:24. > :21:27.take number one place in the world rankings in the weeks ahead. They

:21:27. > :21:30.start the first test against India at Lord's tomorrow, knowing a

:21:30. > :21:33.series win over the tourists should take them to top spot. But the

:21:33. > :21:36.search for the next generation of stars is well underway and a former

:21:36. > :21:42.England captain has been in Salisbury looking to discover any

:21:42. > :21:47.hidden gems in the city's state schools.

:21:47. > :21:57.You couldn't wish for a more experience hand to guide you and

:21:57. > :22:01.this one. Graham Gooch is England's Batty -- batting coach. He has been

:22:01. > :22:09.in Salisbury with schoolchildren who don't always get a choice to

:22:09. > :22:13.play cricket. The more choice there is, the more chance you have of

:22:13. > :22:18.finding the ones that will make it to the top. Importantly today,

:22:18. > :22:24.children should enjoy themselves. Gooch's heyday may be gone, but

:22:24. > :22:31.these children were bowled over. told us things most of us did not

:22:31. > :22:38.know. The it was an honour to be talked by a professional. -- it was

:22:38. > :22:44.an honour. Do you think you learn something? Yes, I did. None of

:22:44. > :22:49.these students were born or when Gooch enjoyed his finest hour. His

:22:49. > :22:53.career best of 333 against India at Lord's was almost exactly 21 years

:22:53. > :22:57.ago, and he will be there as England faces the same opposition

:22:57. > :23:04.at the home of cricket tomorrow. England had been playing well. We

:23:04. > :23:10.have had good results and Our bowling attack has been performing

:24:55. > :25:02.becoming dry, but we hang on to those cloudy conditions. It is
