Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme. | :00:04. | :00:07. | |
Face to face: Is this the hi-tech answer to better security and | :00:07. | :00:13. | |
shorter queues at our airports? Late, unreliable and students left | :00:13. | :00:23. | |
:00:23. | :00:24. | ||
at the bus stop: Criticism of a bus service used by school children. | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
it goes on any longer than the first week then it will impact on | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
education. Through the keyhole at Cowdray Park House as some of its | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
secrets go up for sale. And the battle is on as the real | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
world takes on the virtual for supremacy of the racetrack. I want | :00:42. | :00:52. | |
:00:52. | :00:52. | ||
to show that in the driving world, the man can still win., Airport | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
security remains a prime concern for all our airports in the South | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
since 9/11. Two years ago a new look e-passport was introduced at | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
Gatwick Airport amid speculation and criticism by the then Shadow | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
Immigration spokesman Damien Green. Today as the Government Minister, | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
he's changed his tune and is in favour of the hi-tech facial system. | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
He believes it's helping to make Britain's border security control | :01:16. | :01:25. | |
among the toughest in the world. Mark Sanders examines the issue. | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
If you flew into Gatwick this summer, you may have had a close | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
encounter with one of these machines, the e-passport gates. The | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
use facial recognition technology to compare your face to the | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
photograph recorded on the chip in your passport. Once the cheque has | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
been made, the gates will open automatically. It enables us to | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
concentrate our resources on the high risks. It enables us to speed | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
the process of passengers through, at the same time keeping security. | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
But the union that represents border agency staff has questions | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
about the system. You agree this is the way forward was Mark in the | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
long term, absolutely. But that the moment, there are too many | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
technological flaws in the system. The current immigration merger of - | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
- Minister was sceptical when he was in opposition. This is what | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
Damian Green had to say two years ago. I am worried that the | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
government is relying too much on technology and spending a huge | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
amount of money and thinking that every new piece of kit will be the | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
magic wand that will solve the problem. But now, in a statement, | :02:38. | :02:47. | |
:02:48. | :02:55. | ||
That Wickes as the e-passport gates are proving to be proper. -- | :02:55. | :03:04. | |
Gatwick says. As more and more people renew their passports, they | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
will be able to use automated equipment like this that and make | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
sure the border is kept safe and they go through much more quickly. | :03:13. | :03:21. | |
We are very enthusiastic about it. We are two days away from the | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
terrible anniversary of the events in New York and we have all been | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
working very hard at the last 10 years to make it easier to get | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
through airports. The way we go through airports has certainly | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
changed and the use of the pop -- e-passport gates is likely to grow. | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
The former I'm a Celebrity contestant Aggro Santos has been | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
charged with raping two women, one of the them in Chichester. The 22- | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
year-old rapper is accused of assaulting the woman earlier this | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
year. A second man is charged with the same offence. Both men will | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
appear before Chichester Magistrates Court a week on Monday. | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
9,000 people in West Sussex have won the the first stage of a battle | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
to keep their care services. Local authorities across the South have | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
had to make cuts to social care services leading to months of | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
anxiety for vulnerable adults. On the Isle of Wight, protesters are | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
taking their fight to the High Court in London. But in Sussex a | :04:13. | :04:22. | |
compromise deal has been reached. Peter Henley is here with more. | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
This has been very controversial, hasn't it? In West Sussex, they | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
went to mediation and looked at five separate cases. As a result, | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
the council has agreed it needs to target its money much more | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
carefully and that maybe they were doing this in the wrong way. As a | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
result, the whole process has been set back but they have brought an | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
outside company in to do the reassessment of more than 9,000 | :04:51. | :05:01. | |
:05:01. | :05:01. | ||
cases. The Don't Cut Us Out campaign are very pleased with this. | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
They think they are finally being included in the process of | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
identifying savings. They think they have saved at least �100,000. | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
But the Isle of Wight looks as if it is heading for the court? Yes, | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
it is a judicial review that has been granted. The way they are | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
applying these cuts for very vulnerable people, whether or not | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
they did the whole consultation process lawfully. But the lawyers | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
involved, it will be that �100,000 bill. Lots of councils are looking | :05:36. | :05:43. | |
at whether you can split the substantial need band in two. But | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
unless they can find an alternative such as in West Sussex, taxpayers | :05:50. | :06:00. | |
:06:00. | :06:11. | ||
will have to fit the lawyer's bill. An investigation has been launched | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
after a 12-year-old boy fell through a glass viewing panel at | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
Yarmouth Castle on the Isle of Wight. English Heritage say the | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
incident happened after he jumped on the glass. Staff gave first aid | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
at the scene and he is recovering at St Mary's Hospital. | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
Hundreds of children in Dorset are struggling to get to school as the | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
county's bus service slips into chaos. The introduction of new | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
routes by Wilts and Dorset bus company has meant many youngsters | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
have found themselves stranded at bus stops and some services have | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
failed to turn up at all. One head teacher told BBC South that if the | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
situation continues pupils education is bound to suffer. Ben | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
Moore explains. Parents at the local bus-stop know that if their | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
children's experience is anything to go by this week, they will have | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
a long wait. We have ended up with several routes which are empty, | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
some buses which do not turn up at all. Children are being left at | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
bus-stops both going to school and coming home and they are having to | :06:54. | :07:02. | |
wait for a very long time. The row stems from the council's neatest | :07:02. | :07:10. | |
save money. The cost of a school bus to get used to be �250 a year. | :07:11. | :07:19. | |
But a has risen to �400. Also the number of places has halved from | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
2000 to 1000, which means children have to be sent on public buses at | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
a cost. I have to pay whatever the area chooses to charge me. In my | :07:29. | :07:37. | |
case, it would be over �750. council says these are teething | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
problems as it changes the bus company running the school service. | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
We have reduced the number of contract has. The main contractor | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
is now taking on new routes and it takes a while for the drivers to | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
get used to the new routes and they are taking longer than we would | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
wish. But scores like this 6th form College are saying they already | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
have to pick up the flat. If it goes on any longer than the first | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
week, there will be disruption and it will impact on education. But I | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
am hoping we will resolve it. I have written to the transport | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
department and requested a meeting and I'm hoping we can work this | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
current get this resolved as quickly as possible. The council | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
say they will strip bus companies of their contract if things do not | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
improve quickly. As far as parents are concerned, all involved could | :08:25. | :08:32. | |
do better. Students and staff had to be | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
evacuated from the Chemical Science building at Reading University | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
after a chemical leak caused a fire. 22 fire officers and four fire | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
engines attended the scene along with the Hazardous Environment Unit. | :08:40. | :08:50. | |
:08:50. | :08:51. | ||
No-one was hurt in the incident but one person was treated for shock. | :08:51. | :08:59. | |
Still to come: Rehana is threatened by a lot of hot air. And I will | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
bring Yuri for weather forecast right at the end of the programme. | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
Children whose teachers were struck down by a mystery stomach bug the | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
day before they were due back after the summer holidays returned to | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
school today. An intensive cleaning operation has been underway at | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
Binfield Church of England Primary in Berkshire. Many parents had been | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
forced to make alternative child- care arrangements for the last four | :09:22. | :09:31. | |
:09:32. | :09:32. | ||
days. Allen Sinclair reports. for school. Four days late. But | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
with virtually the whole teaching staff struck down by a mystery | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
stomach bug, there was no option than to delay the start of the new | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
term. Lots of parents have had to rally round, trying to find child | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
care. I have got good friends around so they have had the | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
children. You feel sorry for the people that have come down ill. | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
source of the buyer is being -- being investigated by the Health | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
Protection Agency. Most of the 52 staff had gathered together last | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
Friday for a training day. A buffet had been provided by an outside | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
catering firm and by the weekend more than a quarter of the work | :10:13. | :10:23. | |
:10:23. | :10:23. | ||
staff were taken ill. Recalled every single family. On today's | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
curriculum, everybody has learned how to wash their hands. There are | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
too young to understand why and how serious it was. It could have been | :10:32. | :10:39. | |
a disaster. I think they acted the right way. Although none of the | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
staff were sick actually at school, an intensive deep clean has been | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
carried out as a precaution in vulnerable areas. | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
The father of the boy killed by a polar bear in the arctic circle | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
last month is raising money to create a garden at the hospital | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
where he works. David Chappell is a consultant spinal surgeon at | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
Salisbury District Hospital. His son Horatio wanted to follow in his | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
father's footsteps and become a doctor. The garden will help | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
patients at the spinal treatment centre - many of whom are | :11:09. | :11:19. | |
:11:19. | :11:19. | ||
completely bed bound for months at a time. Jeff Holt is known for | :11:19. | :11:26. | |
being the first quadriplegic tear sail solo around Great Britain. He | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
was a patient on the spinal unit after breaking his neck in a | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
swimming accident. I remember counting the dots on the | :11:35. | :11:42. | |
polystyrene tiles above my head. Remembered staring at the ceiling, | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
I need a different people coming on the ward by the sound of the stews. | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
I yearned to the cup and see a blue sky. -- the sound of their shoes. | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
And that is why he wants to create a garden for the 100 patients to | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
come here every year. This man was paralysed from the chest down after | :11:59. | :12:09. | |
crashing his lorry. For them to be able to sit there, it is just open | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
space, what better? The surgeon who cared for these patients suffered | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
took his own tragedy last month when his son was killed by it a | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
polar bear. We feel this was definitely a way that if we can | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
concentrate our efforts on getting something good to come up to this | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
tragedy. Horacio wanted to study medicine and he had come here to | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
the spinal unit to do work experience with his dad. More than | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
�50,000 has been devoted in his memory and that money will go | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
towards creating this garden. The unit is appealing for volunteers to | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
help with the project. As this garden grows, it will form part of | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
the healing process for both the patients on the spinal unit and the | :12:55. | :13:05. | |
:13:05. | :13:07. | ||
It is the sale of a bygone century, the treasures were then Cowdray | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
Park House in West Sussex are up for auction. Items range from a �50 | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
flag to a �400,000 painting. Christie's has played two miles of | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
cable and set up 80 telephones to deal with interest in the sale. The | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
main attention -- the main attraction for many is getting to | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
see inside a magnificent old house. But over a century, Cowdray Park | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
House has kept its secrets safe. For a few days, the world has been | :13:36. | :13:45. | |
let inside. It is full of over 1000 antiques, collected by the family | :13:45. | :13:55. | |
:13:55. | :13:56. | ||
in the 19 hundreds. Sumptuous reminders of a bygone era -- in the | :13:56. | :14:04. | |
19th this room was pretty much left alone since the early 20th century. | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
This is covered in silver and very ornate. This is a grand clear-out. | :14:11. | :14:20. | |
Everything with a tag is for sale. Such a unique opportunity to get to | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
comes to such a house as first and then also daunting because of the | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
nature of the task. We have got over 1250 lots being sold next week | :14:32. | :14:40. | |
so it is a huge dog and a massive team effort -- huge job. One of | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
these portraits is said to be an example of the Elizabethan | :14:43. | :14:53. | |
portraiture. I think it is the amazingly an elaborate nature of | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
the dress, it its floral motifs and emblematic significance. Everything | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
is expected to sell and raise around �5 million. Then the rooms | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
will stand empty. These grand old country house will close its doors | :15:08. | :15:16. | |
again. Some lovely pieces. Beautiful. | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
Balloon enthusiasts have spent most of today preparing five flight over | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
West Sussex. It is for the charity Children's Hospice Service, CHASE | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
which is based near Guildford. Around 30 hot-air balloons are | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
about to lift off. It marks the beginning of the Wisborough Green | :15:31. | :15:38. | |
Balloon Festival. Our reporter is there to have a go in one of the | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
balloons. It looks like they are preparing to set off? A few of them | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
are preparing to take off in just a few minutes. Some already have | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
taken to the skies. It is a chance for people to fulfil a dream to go | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
up in a hot-air balloon and all for a very good cause. This is all for | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
the Children's Hospice Service, CHASE. Let us have a look at how | :16:02. | :16:12. | |
:16:12. | :16:22. | ||
things are looking here this This is the 4th attempt we have | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
made to go up. She won it for herself and Another. My mum gave | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
her godson of the present for his 18th and then his mum gave me the | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
present from my 18 so we are doing it together. I have been absolutely | :16:37. | :16:47. | |
:16:47. | :17:00. | ||
desperate to go ballooning all of Brilliant! I hope you saw that. I | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
nearly got knocked over. It is a beautiful evening but it is all for | :17:06. | :17:14. | |
a very beautiful cause. With me is a gentleman from the Children's | :17:14. | :17:22. | |
Hospice Service, CHASE. We are here to support a wonderful charity. We | :17:23. | :17:30. | |
currently support over 500 families in at Sussex and Surrey and we are | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
supporting these families who have children and teenagers with | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
conditions and illnesses which mean they cannot -- they are unlikely to | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
live till then 19th birthday. event has been going on for 20 | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
years. You have been No 1 spot a little bit less than that. Tell us | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
about your response? The people always come together to support the | :17:51. | :17:58. | |
charity. They have raised over �100,000 in that time. It is so | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
important to us that we get community support... And you have | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
had a lot of support today. Thank you so much. We have run at of | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
times. The event has been cancelled for the next two days because of | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
the weather. We will have the full weather | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
forecast shortly. A lot of hot air with the rugby. The Rugby World Cup | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
is under way and gives the sport a shot in the arm every four years. | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
Aficionados of the oval ball the Libyan paradise for the next eight | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
weeks. England's performance is going to have a direct effect on | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
the health of the sport back home. These budding stars are putting | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
their backs into getting to the top. The youngsters at Oakmedians Rugby | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
Club will be glued to do England's performance Down Under. When the | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
World Cup starts, like in 2007, there are a lot more people here. | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
think it might inspire people if England were two when, lots of | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
children would want to be up there on the telly. A big tournament in | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
New Zealand offers a chance from rugby clubs like this to capitalise | :19:09. | :19:15. | |
on the spot's increased profile. It is a rare opportunity for the oval | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
ball game to replace football on the back pages. The nation switches | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
on to rugby and we normally have a bit of a spike in recruitment. More | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
people playing the game, the better for the game and better for future | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
England players. Oakmedians Rugby Club is flourishing, the popularity | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
of touch rugby, which takes the bruising contact at a the game has | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
brought former players back to the sport and brought new recruits. | :19:44. | :19:53. | |
we need recruitment within ourselves and within the Union. | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
Rugby World Cup, 2011, New Zealand, officially open... The 7th the | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
Rugby World Cup got off to a spectacular start. The competition | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
will be fierce. Just like that on the training pitches in Bournemouth | :20:09. | :20:17. | |
