Hello and welcome to South Today. In the programme - a hospital

:00:07.:00:12.

consultant is suspended as hundreds of cases of childhood epilepsy are

:00:12.:00:16.

examined. Her I am concerned because we do not know if it is

:00:16.:00:24.

medication that has been wrongly prescribed. -- I am concerned.

:00:24.:00:29.

Campsite warning - was vague death caused by a campsite barbiturate

:00:29.:00:35.

used to keep warm? Housebound, but taking action. The campaign for

:00:35.:00:40.

more research into ME. You have to say goodbye to your of light and

:00:40.:00:46.

embrace your new one, which is tough. And revealing the hidden

:00:46.:00:51.

secret of Tudor times. We have uncovered graffiti that has been

:00:51.:01:01.
:01:01.:01:05.

The case notes of more than 550 children with epilepsy are being

:01:06.:01:08.

reviewed after a paediatric consultant at a Surrey hospital was

:01:08.:01:13.

suspended. Dr Nic Driver was taken out of his post in February

:01:13.:01:16.

following concerns over the diagnosis and treatment of patients.

:01:16.:01:19.

Parents have been written to and advised not to stop any medication

:01:19.:01:29.
:01:29.:01:32.

their children are on before receiving medical advice.

:01:32.:01:36.

569 very sick children have passed through these corridors, all with

:01:36.:01:40.

two things in common - they had epilepsy and for patients of Dr Nic

:01:40.:01:48.

Driver, an expert in the field. number of concerns have been raised

:01:48.:01:52.

with regards to the diagnosis and treatment of specific patients who

:01:52.:01:58.

were under the care of Dr Nic Driver. So we are talking about

:01:58.:02:02.

diagnosis and then the prescription of drugs? That is correct.

:02:02.:02:07.

trust have written to parents and told them not to stop our Alter any

:02:08.:02:17.

medication their child may be taking. This mother has a different

:02:17.:02:22.

opinion of Dr Nic Driver. He saved Alex's life twice and you cannot

:02:22.:02:30.

forget that. It is a very odd situation on a Bank Holiday weekend

:02:30.:02:36.

and have him have a life threatening seizure and his

:02:36.:02:44.

consultant is called out and say Symes. Another consultant raised

:02:44.:02:52.

concerns in February, but it has taken until now to tell parents.

:02:52.:02:57.

needed to get the advice of independent expert in the field to

:02:57.:03:01.

assess whether it there were concerns that needed to be

:03:01.:03:08.

investigated. Now a team of experts will check every child's record.

:03:08.:03:13.

The hospital is standing by its man. They say there is no question of

:03:13.:03:20.

malice in any of that allegations. No question of abuse either.

:03:20.:03:23.

Colleagues describe Dr Nic Driver as hard-working, diligent and

:03:23.:03:28.

caring. The air are no absolute boundaries or criteria for making a

:03:28.:03:38.

diagnosis. If I make and -- a diagnosis of an ulcer it is because

:03:38.:03:42.

I can see it. It is much more difficult to diagnose something

:03:42.:03:48.

like epilepsy. We contacted Dr Nic Driver, he said he could not

:03:48.:03:53.

comment because investigations were ongoing. It is a worrying time for

:03:53.:03:57.

all involved. A man died after the 4x4 he was

:03:57.:04:00.

driving crashed into a highways vehicle parked on the hard shoulder

:04:00.:04:03.

of the M27 in Hampshire. The accident happened at about a

:04:03.:04:06.

quarter to 11 on the eastbound carriageway of the motorway in Ower,

:04:06.:04:08.

causing severe traffic delays. A team of maintenance workers, who

:04:08.:04:18.
:04:18.:04:24.

were cutting a grass verge at the time of the crash, were uninjured.

:04:24.:04:27.

Safety experts have issued a warning to campers after a man died

:04:27.:04:30.

in the New Forest from what's thought to be carbon monoxide

:04:30.:04:32.

poisoning. Vincent Clare from Milton Keynes was found dead last

:04:32.:04:35.

Friday at the Red Shoot Camping Site. His wife was taken to

:04:35.:04:38.

hospital. It's believed they took their gas barbecue inside their

:04:38.:04:45.

tent to keep warm. It was meant to be a celebration.

:04:45.:04:50.

The Vincent Clare was camping on this site with his wife to

:04:50.:04:54.

celebrate his 50th birthday. But the trip ended in tragedy with the

:04:55.:04:59.

discovery of his body. It is thought beat couple used a gas

:04:59.:05:03.

barbecue like this one in an attempt to warm up. They took it

:05:04.:05:09.

inside their tent to heat it, but unknown to them, it was emitting

:05:09.:05:14.

but deadly gas carbon monoxide. The next morning Vincent Clare was

:05:14.:05:23.

found dead in his sleeping bag. When I got here the ambulance were

:05:23.:05:29.

already here. Obviously the family were very shocked and so were we.

:05:29.:05:33.

We are saddened by the whole incident. These campers say many

:05:33.:05:39.

people do not know the dangers. cook everything outside. People do

:05:39.:05:45.

not realise that it can store happened in enclosed places. At the

:05:45.:05:50.

some holidays begin, safety experts want to make sure of all campers

:05:50.:05:58.

are warned of. -- as the summer holidays begin. Do not take

:05:58.:06:04.

anything like a stove or barbecue into the tent as it might be giving

:06:04.:06:09.

off carbon monoxide. A teenage mother and a 27-year-old

:06:09.:06:12.

man have been jailed for taking part in an horrific attack in

:06:12.:06:14.

Southampton that left a cyclist with severe head injuries and brain

:06:14.:06:17.

damage. David Baker was savagely beaten and will never fully recover

:06:17.:06:20.

from his injuries. The judge described the attack as cowardly

:06:20.:06:24.

and unprovoked. The sentences were handed down in the past hour and

:06:24.:06:27.

Steve Humphrey joins us from the newsroom. Steve when did this

:06:27.:06:37.
:06:37.:06:38.

attack take place? This vicious attack took place on at Southampton

:06:38.:06:46.

central bridge last year. That gang involved -- the gang involved had

:06:46.:06:50.

been drinking and one of them was higher on crack cocaine. There was

:06:50.:06:59.

building works and pedestrians were funnelled into this walkway. David

:06:59.:07:08.

Baker was attacked, beaten about he's head -- beaten about his head

:07:08.:07:13.

severely. He suffered traumatic head injuries which work life

:07:13.:07:16.

threatening. He was treated in intensive care, but suffered brain

:07:16.:07:22.

damage. He can no longer cycle and needs help with everyday tasks. He

:07:22.:07:27.

can only walk outside with a crutch. And who were the people sentenced

:07:27.:07:34.

today? Two people were sentenced today at Southampton Crown Court.

:07:34.:07:38.

Stephanie Hill was sentenced to four years and will be on licence

:07:38.:07:44.

for seven years. She kicked David Baker in the head. The other

:07:44.:07:50.

accused, John Smith, was the main aggressor. He was given an

:07:50.:07:54.

indeterminate sentence for public protection and told he would not be

:07:54.:08:00.

considered for release until he had served at least four years in jail.

:08:00.:08:07.

He had David Baker's blood on him. Hampshire police get this reaction.

:08:07.:08:13.

The quality of his life a will be reduced as the damage is permanent.

:08:13.:08:18.

It has impacted on him and his family. Going back to the attack.

:08:18.:08:23.

It took place on the central bridge in June. David was cycling home

:08:23.:08:26.

when he came across this group of people and they were high on drink

:08:26.:08:36.
:08:36.:08:37.

and drugs. That is correct. prosecution say a total of four

:08:37.:08:42.

people were involved. They say two of them were not prosecuted because

:08:42.:08:48.

of lack of evidence. Thank you.

:08:48.:08:52.

A driver has been jailed for more than six years over the death of

:08:52.:08:55.

his passenger in a car crash in Brighton. Jonathan Wenham, who's 40,

:08:55.:08:57.

pleaded guilty today to causing death by dangerous driving and

:08:57.:09:00.

making a false statement to obtain insurance. Nicholas Messenger, who

:09:00.:09:03.

was 28 and from London, was killed in the crash. Wenham's BMW hit a

:09:03.:09:11.

tree in Grand Parade in January. He was over the drink drive limit.

:09:11.:09:15.

This is Gabi Lewis. She's been housebound for two-and-a-half years

:09:15.:09:18.

due to ME. You might know it as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, or one of

:09:18.:09:21.

the many other names the illness has been called over the years.

:09:21.:09:24.

Whatever name it goes by, ME has often attracted controversy over

:09:24.:09:28.

whether it's a medical or a psychological condition. Gabi is in

:09:28.:09:31.

no doubts she suffers from a medical problem and is launching a

:09:31.:09:41.
:09:41.:09:46.

charity to raise funds to conduct more research into the illness.

:09:46.:09:50.

Gabi Lewis cannot do the things that most of us take for granted.

:09:50.:09:55.

In it takes me about an hour were to get out of bed. When I wake up,

:09:55.:10:01.

my body is rigid. The pain is burning and ripping it right

:10:01.:10:08.

through my body. It is hard because the slightest movement sets of my

:10:08.:10:18.
:10:18.:10:18.

blood pressure problems. Life has not always been like this. She used

:10:18.:10:23.

to have a successful job in London and a busy social life. It has been

:10:23.:10:28.

a nightmare. The hardest thing I have had to do is say goodbye to my

:10:28.:10:32.

friends because I cannot interact with them like this. You have to

:10:32.:10:36.

say goodbye to your of life and embrace your new one, which is

:10:36.:10:46.

really, really tough. The main symptom of ME is disabling

:10:46.:10:51.

tightness. It can affect any age group, but is more common in people

:10:51.:10:58.

in their forties and fifties. Women are more likely to develop the

:10:58.:11:03.

condition. Other sentence up memory problems, headaches, joint problems

:11:03.:11:11.

and sensitivity to noise and law. It is not a psychological condition,

:11:11.:11:18.

but it can be triggered by a virus. If you are sick for a long period

:11:18.:11:23.

of time and you are unwell, it is understandable that some people get

:11:23.:11:28.

anxious or fed-up. But it is not primarily a psychological decision.

:11:28.:11:33.

Gabi Lewis is hoping that by launching her charity, more people

:11:33.:11:38.

will understand her condition and the cure will hopefully be found.

:11:38.:11:45.

Still to come on the programme - yet another honour for one of the

:11:45.:11:53.

well's gates -- world's great guitarists.

:11:53.:11:56.

It's cost more than �4 million and now one of Southampton's most

:11:56.:11:59.

important historic buildings is about to re-open to the public

:11:59.:12:01.

after extensive renovations. The 15th century Tudor House has been

:12:01.:12:04.

closed for nearly ten years and it's restoration has uncovered some

:12:04.:12:13.

previously hidden secrets. Fancy seeing some historic grafitti?

:12:13.:12:19.

It is one of the mess familiar buildings in the City -

:12:19.:12:23.

Southampton's Tudor House, known by generations. 500 years ago when

:12:23.:12:29.

this house was being built, the first ships were reaching America.

:12:29.:12:32.

Shakespeare was a light and the first books were being printed. It

:12:32.:12:38.

was the time of invention and exploration and great activity, not

:12:38.:12:47.

least here than Southampton. The staff -- here in Southampton. The

:12:47.:12:51.

building deteriorated and had to be closed down. In the last decade a

:12:51.:12:56.

lot has been done to put it bright and in the process some hidden

:12:56.:13:04.

treasures had been discovered. have discovered graffiti on this

:13:04.:13:08.

war which shows interesting caricatures of people, animals,

:13:08.:13:18.

ships. The man who built all this, John Dawtry, also provided the

:13:18.:13:22.

timber for the Mary Rose. In it is interesting that some of the timber

:13:22.:13:28.

here is the same as those used to build the Mary Rose. We wonder if

:13:28.:13:35.

he had some extra ones which fell off the back of a cart! Now the

:13:35.:13:40.

garden has been restored as well. It is an iconic feature of

:13:40.:13:44.

Southampton and it has been sad whilst it has been closed because a

:13:44.:13:48.

whole generation of schoolchildren have not been able to visit it. But

:13:48.:13:53.

we hope that now we are going to reopen, it will be a magnet for

:13:53.:13:57.

local people and visitors to the city. The building will be open to

:13:57.:14:03.

the public again a week tomorrow. With a career spanning almost 50

:14:03.:14:06.

years, and collaborations with the likes of Mick Jagger, Kate Bush and

:14:06.:14:09.

Stevie Wonder, Jeff Beck's life story reads like a Who's Who of

:14:09.:14:13.

music superstardom. He's been inducted into the Rock and Roll

:14:13.:14:17.

Hall of Fame twice and has received six Grammy Awards. And, as Claudia

:14:17.:14:20.

Sermbezis reports, he can add to that list an honorary degree from

:14:20.:14:30.
:14:30.:14:42.

He has been described as one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

:14:42.:14:49.

Geoff Beck uses his fingers when he is playing to create depth and soul.

:14:49.:14:59.
:14:59.:15:02.

I used to keep dropping the plectrum and I got so embarrassed.

:15:02.:15:08.

I can use my nails instead. It is a more personal style.

:15:08.:15:16.

performances have won him six Grammy us, including for his own

:15:16.:15:23.

interpretation of a famous Beatles track. I am totally blown away. It

:15:23.:15:30.

is so bizarre. You get all that recognition in Los Angeles and all

:15:30.:15:35.

over the world and not in my home town. It is nice to have that,

:15:35.:15:40.

especially coming from Sussex, which is where I live. Geoff Beck

:15:40.:15:50.
:15:50.:15:51.

was nominated by it Bruce Dickinson from the Institute of modern music.

:15:51.:15:56.

We had this amazing opportunity to get him into the college. He spoke

:15:56.:16:03.

to the students about his 40 year career, but the magic thing was he

:16:03.:16:07.

played his guitar and some of the students got up and everyone had a

:16:07.:16:15.

jam. He was incredible. One student described it as having got in the

:16:15.:16:20.

room. For the Sussex students it was a once-in-a-lifetime

:16:20.:16:30.
:16:30.:16:32.

opportunity to jam with the man known as the guitarists guitarist.

:16:32.:16:36.

I am not sure what you are planning to do this weekend, but thousands

:16:36.:16:41.

of people will be making their way to Blenheim Palace because of this

:16:41.:16:45.

weekend the Game Fair is taking place. It is a huge Countryside

:16:45.:16:50.

event. We have sent out will report to bear to look around. I have to

:16:50.:17:00.

say, that is a wonderful backdrop. Isn't it? It is so beautiful, it is

:17:00.:17:06.

associated with tranquillity, but it has been buzzing with excitement

:17:07.:17:12.

because of the game fair. Over three days, 140,000 people will be

:17:13.:17:19.

attending it and having a taste of country life and. I had been having

:17:19.:17:24.

a go at different things, but you think someone like me would suit

:17:24.:17:33.

country life? Let us have a look at how I got on today. We are teaching

:17:33.:17:42.

people to fly cast. We are not using hooks. Before we go on with

:17:42.:17:50.

the casting, I am going to ask you to wear a hat and a pair of glasses.

:17:50.:17:56.

It is not that easy. Your back cast was really good. I went back a

:17:56.:18:04.

little bit too much there. When it is done well, it looks graceful and

:18:04.:18:10.

you get to spend time in beautiful environments, like here. We are

:18:10.:18:15.

doing something that is slow and meditative. I just had a lesson for

:18:15.:18:22.

the fun of it and so I could get better. Did you learn anything new?

:18:22.:18:32.
:18:32.:18:41.

Yes. I learnt about the three. Grip. -- 3 point grip. A in and shoot at.

:18:41.:18:51.

That was a good shot. -- Ama and Shute Shelve. I brought my Doc with

:18:51.:19:01.
:19:01.:19:03.

me and he is a bit uncontrollable. -- dog. There is some want back and

:19:03.:19:13.

help me with his behaviour. You are looking for the basics. We are

:19:13.:19:23.
:19:23.:19:26.

going to lose him. Maximus, come back here! This is the issue. Sit.

:19:26.:19:32.

Sit. As you can see, I finally got

:19:33.:19:37.

Maximus to sit, but I do not know for how long. I will be back with

:19:37.:19:47.
:19:47.:19:55.

the weather later in the programme. Thank you. Over to the sport.

:19:55.:19:57.

Southampton have beaten off competition from a host of other

:19:57.:20:00.

European clubs to sign Belgian winger Steve De Ridder. The 24-

:20:00.:20:03.

year-old has been playing in the top division of Dutch football.

:20:03.:20:05.

He's signed a three-year contract after being signed for what's

:20:05.:20:08.

described as a significant undisclosed fee. But Saints boss

:20:08.:20:10.

Nigel Adkins denied he's been brought in to replace �10 million

:20:10.:20:13.

rated Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. He's been repeatedly linked with Arsenal

:20:13.:20:16.

and incurred his manager's wrath this week after being quoted saying

:20:16.:20:25.

he'd like to leave in a tabloid newspaper. Everyone said before we

:20:25.:20:29.

even preceded training that it had been a done deal. But he is still

:20:29.:20:35.

here, he has trained hard and he is being respectful of his team-mate.

:20:35.:20:44.

He had a smile on his face today. We have to look after him.

:20:44.:20:50.

cricket, the pitch inspectors have been back to the Rose Bowl on day

:20:50.:21:00.
:21:00.:21:06.

two of the County Championship matches. Here are the result so far.

:21:06.:21:16.
:21:16.:21:34.

One of the ways cricket tries to attract young players while they're

:21:34.:21:38.

still at school is through Kwik Cricket and the Year 6 girls at The

:21:38.:21:41.

Vale First and Middle school at Findon in West Sussex have just

:21:41.:21:44.

been crowned National Kwik Cricket Champions. They came out on top of

:21:44.:21:46.

the 130,000 other pupils who entered the competition. But

:21:46.:21:49.

commiserations to the team they beat in the final at Derby - they

:21:49.:21:52.

were from Oakley Junior School, near Basingstoke.

:21:52.:21:55.

Last month, she was damaged and left stricken on the Solent after

:21:55.:21:58.

being hit by another vessel in the Round the Island Race. But after

:21:58.:22:01.

all the years she lay forgotten and rotting,it was never likely to be

:22:01.:22:04.

more than a minor setback for Gipsy Moth IV. Today, plans to preserve

:22:04.:22:07.

Sir Francis Chichester's iconic yacht as a working national

:22:07.:22:09.

maritime monument were announced. And as Richard Westcott reports,

:22:09.:22:19.

she's already helping disadvantaged youngsters.

:22:19.:22:23.

For decades she sat on display and rotting in Greenwich. Now Gipsy

:22:23.:22:31.

Moth IV is back where she belongs. She is not breaking records any

:22:31.:22:37.

more, but she is inspiring young people. It has really improve my

:22:37.:22:44.

confidence. Before I wouldn't do anything on a boat. Now I am

:22:44.:22:51.

steering it and telling everyone what to do. BBC programmes will be

:22:51.:22:56.

giving coverage of the return of Sir Francis Chichester of... It is

:22:56.:23:02.

a story of eccentric British behaviour. Aged 65, Sir Francis

:23:02.:23:06.

Chichester became the fastest sailor to circle the globe in a

:23:06.:23:15.

small boat. Gipsy Moth IV combines state of the art design and a green

:23:16.:23:21.

he took to keep them warm. It is amazing how many young people know

:23:22.:23:25.

about the boat. It helps to inspire them to think about what it is

:23:25.:23:35.
:23:35.:23:36.

possible for one person to do and also it will inspire them to push

:23:36.:23:41.

themselves forward. It has helped me with my future. I will be

:23:41.:23:46.

working here next year. You might have noticed it's got a master

:23:46.:23:52.

missing, thanks to a racing accident. It will soon be prepared.

:23:52.:23:59.

An old icon given a new lease of life.

:23:59.:24:06.

Let us go back to Blenheim Palace. The weather has been gorgeous up

:24:06.:24:10.

until now, but I am assuming the umbrella is up because it is

:24:10.:24:15.

raining. Yes, but it has been a lovely day.

:24:15.:24:19.

This is not the only thing happening across our region. Let us

:24:19.:24:29.
:24:29.:24:29.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 54 seconds

:24:29.:25:23.

have a look at what they is to do Well, we have had a lovely day here

:25:23.:25:27.

in the sunshine, but things have suddenly changed. Let us have a

:25:27.:25:32.

look at the graphics. The weather is about to change for some of ours.

:25:32.:25:36.
