Good evening. Fighting a lost cause, the man who will never see the

:00:09.:00:16.

reckless driver who caused his injuries in court. My faith in the

:00:16.:00:21.

CBS is dented. New attempts to catch rogue traders ripping off

:00:21.:00:28.

vulnerable and elderly people. is still upsetting even now. I have

:00:28.:00:33.

difficult days, really hard days. The final reunion for the heroes

:00:33.:00:38.

who delivered the troops on to the Normandy beaches. We're getting too

:00:38.:00:43.

old. We want to go out in a blaze of glory. We don't want to dwindle

:00:43.:00:49.

away. And half-a-century after he was racing, we hear from the David

:00:49.:00:55.

Coulthard of his day. We used to race on ordinary roads and anyone -

:00:55.:01:05.
:01:05.:01:10.

It is unfair and unjust. John Barber says he will never get

:01:10.:01:13.

British justice after he was injured earlier this year by an

:01:13.:01:18.

uninsured Polish driver. In an unusual step, of the Crown

:01:18.:01:22.

Prosecution Service has apologised to Mr Barber after lawyers lost

:01:22.:01:27.

important paperwork which would have led to an arrest. The man

:01:27.:01:31.

responsible is believed to be living in Poland. Meanwhile, Mr

:01:31.:01:36.

Barber has been left in constant pain. Following a crash in January,

:01:36.:01:41.

John Barber was taken to hospital. He had to take eight weeks off work

:01:41.:01:46.

and needed an operation on his back. He says his car was sent spinning

:01:46.:01:49.

into two parked cars after the driver of the other vehicle failed

:01:49.:01:57.

to stop. When it is through no fault of Eurozone, and it is in the

:01:57.:02:01.

hands of a government agency that is responsible for bringing people

:02:01.:02:07.

to justice, and they have not, I think it is frustrating. That does

:02:07.:02:13.

not actually some it up. The crash happened on January 25th. On June

:02:13.:02:17.

14th, the driver of the other vehicle was supposed to attend

:02:17.:02:19.

vehicle was supposed to attend court for careless driving and

:02:19.:02:23.

driving without insurance, but police were able to -- unable to

:02:23.:02:30.

contact him. The case was withdrawn. In August, John received a letter

:02:30.:02:35.

of apology from the CPS. It said the service had made serious errors.

:02:35.:02:38.

the service had made serious errors. They had lost his Foyle. The letter

:02:38.:02:41.

said that when the file was returned to the office, it was

:02:41.:02:51.
:02:51.:03:00.

You're entitled to expect these high standards. The man driving the

:03:00.:03:03.

other car will never be prosecuted because too much time has passed.

:03:03.:03:08.

There is an individual out there who was clearly responsible. That

:03:08.:03:11.

person has been allowed to go because of errors in the system.

:03:11.:03:15.

There should not have happened. I want to make sure that not only

:03:15.:03:19.

does it not happen again but that Mr Barber gets redress as a result

:03:19.:03:24.

of this. John has been told he will get financial compensation for his

:03:24.:03:27.

injuries but he says that without his day in court, he will never

:03:27.:03:37.
:03:37.:03:38.

receive closure.! --. There is uncertainty tonight after

:03:38.:03:43.

a West Sussex-based travel company went into administration. Pinnacle

:03:43.:03:47.

Travel sense 5000 pupils abroad every year, many on skiing and

:03:47.:03:57.

snowboarding trips. -- sends. What has caused this? They have given

:03:57.:04:01.

two reasons for the collapse, one being the disruption caused by the

:04:01.:04:06.

volcanic ash cloud that hit a lot of tour operators hard. Also, the

:04:06.:04:10.

general economic climate. On the surface, this seems to be a

:04:10.:04:15.

successful business. Their website tells of expansion in America. Also,

:04:15.:04:20.

of the 5000 students who they help every year. But they say that

:04:20.:04:24.

personal service is key. Today, there is a lot of disappointed

:04:24.:04:29.

customers. Pinnacle Travel was a specialist in the skiing trip

:04:29.:04:33.

market for schools. Their website said that every trip should be a

:04:33.:04:37.

fabulous experience. But while that website was still working today,

:04:38.:04:42.

the trips were cancelled. The company had closed down and anyone

:04:42.:04:48.

calling her this. Thank you for your call. With regret, the nickel

:04:48.:04:51.

travel has been replaced -- Pinnacle Travel has been placed in

:04:51.:04:57.

administration on Wednesday 14th September. Any clients booked to

:04:57.:05:07.

travel with Pinnacle Travel should contact other companies. Pinnacle

:05:07.:05:15.

Travel was signed up with Akhtar, so deposits are protected. Other

:05:16.:05:20.

operators are on standby to help the school's two strips have been

:05:20.:05:24.

cancelled. Time is on their side, according to this company. We have

:05:24.:05:29.

had 20 schools in contact with us. What have they been saying? Most of

:05:29.:05:37.

the time, it is surprise. Uncertainty, but because we are a

:05:37.:05:40.

bonded operator and the booking has been made with a bonded operator,

:05:40.:05:45.

there is not a last-minute panic. We can sort things out. Ski trips

:05:45.:05:50.

were just one part of the business, but at a has a long list of tour

:05:50.:05:56.

operators who can step in to help out. People who want to have a

:05:56.:06:01.

refund should be able to get their money back. They have to contact at

:06:01.:06:08.

all, and there will be forced to fill-in. There will be

:06:08.:06:11.

inconvenience for many. If there was insurance, they will lose that

:06:11.:06:14.

money. Police say a barn fire near

:06:14.:06:18.

Dorchester may be linked to three Mac other fires in rural Dorset.

:06:18.:06:21.

Firefighters have spent the day damping down the scene of the fire

:06:21.:06:27.

which started last night. Earlier in the day, a trail of -- a trailer

:06:27.:06:30.

was found delight. Police say farmers have lost machinery and

:06:30.:06:35.

feed and asking witnesses to come forward. If we lose this battle, we

:06:35.:06:40.

lose businesses and jobs. That is the final plea from Southampton as

:06:40.:06:43.

weeks of intense lobbying about who pays for cruise ship terminals came

:06:43.:06:47.

to a head. The Government is considering a bid from Liverpool to

:06:47.:06:53.

lose its tax payers -- taxpayer- funded Terminal 2 compete with

:06:53.:06:57.

business -- for business with privately-funded ports.

:06:57.:07:01.

Southampton's largest cruise ship arrived in Liverpool this morning.

:07:01.:07:06.

It is a potent symbol. Cunard originally came from Liverpool. It

:07:06.:07:10.

could be attracted back by a transatlantic trips to New York.

:07:10.:07:15.

Today, that is not allowed. Because Liverpool's terminal was built with

:07:15.:07:24.

public money, it may not compete directly against commercial rivals.

:07:24.:07:30.

Liverpool is offering to repay 25% of the government money over 15

:07:30.:07:35.

years to overturn the role. think we have made a strong case.

:07:35.:07:38.

It is based on the economic argument, arguing the fairness

:07:38.:07:42.

principle. We have reached agreement with the Department for

:07:42.:07:44.

transport in principle about the amount of money that would be

:07:44.:07:49.

appropriate to return. On his way to London, the leader of a bitter

:07:49.:07:53.

campaign against Liverpool's plans carried a petition, with nearly

:07:53.:07:58.

12,000 signatures. I would like to think the Government would take the

:07:58.:08:00.

views of 12,000 businesses seriously and come to the

:08:01.:08:05.

conclusion that they should not allow public money to subsidise one

:08:05.:08:12.

commercial operation against another. The petition was handed

:08:12.:08:15.

over at Downing Street. Many would like Liverpool to win, including

:08:15.:08:20.

some of today's passengers. Everyone loves what -- everyone

:08:20.:08:24.

loves Liverpool. The Americans, the Japanese. Bring it back, let us

:08:24.:08:33.

expand it. The north-west would be nice based. It will improve the

:08:33.:08:39.

economy. -- a nice base. Government must choose which side

:08:39.:08:43.

to favour. The business community claims that it would be unfair

:08:43.:08:49.

competition for Southampton. In Liverpool, they see the situation

:08:49.:08:54.

differently. This is a rare treat for us and Liverpool, not something

:08:54.:08:58.

we see all the time. But it is something we want to see more of.

:08:58.:09:02.

Imagine the journeys that have set out from here over the centuries,

:09:02.:09:06.

the transatlantic adventures that began here. That is what they want

:09:06.:09:10.

to bring back to Liverpool. The problem, public money used to build

:09:10.:09:15.

the terminal. Liverpool lobby has two key thoughts. The first is that

:09:15.:09:20.

not all of the money came with a call it -- with a clause which for

:09:20.:09:23.

a debt from getting a competitive edge. The saviour willing to pay

:09:23.:09:28.

back that small amounts, �5 million. The main thought is that at the

:09:28.:09:32.

heart of the Southampton lobby is a hypocrisy. Southampton was built on

:09:32.:09:36.

public money. It is part of a nationalised industry only

:09:36.:09:40.

privatised in the 1980s. The thought is that Liverpool is

:09:40.:09:49.

quietly confident. Five men arrested on suspicion of

:09:49.:09:52.

murdering a teenager on the Isle of Wight have been bailed by police.

:09:52.:09:57.

Damien Nettles disappeared 15 years ago. In May, a search was carried

:09:57.:10:02.

out for his body, but nothing was found. Plans are being considered

:10:02.:10:06.

to install solar panels on more than 1500 council houses in

:10:06.:10:10.

Brighton and Hove. The authority wants to spend �15 million on the

:10:10.:10:17.

project but says it would recoup �9 million over 25 years.

:10:17.:10:25.

Still to come: We are running with some friends. Join me later to find

:10:25.:10:35.

out the difference between these type of sports.

:10:35.:10:40.

Only last week, we reported on a roll roofer who received a

:10:40.:10:44.

suspended jail sentence for carrying out unnecessary work on a

:10:44.:10:47.

pensioner's Ruth. Today in Hampshire, trading standards

:10:47.:10:51.

officials issued a new warning about more rogue traders who are

:10:51.:11:00.

preying on vulnerable people. When this woman's husband died, she

:11:00.:11:04.

decided to sell his mobility chair. A trader promised �300 but getting

:11:04.:11:11.

the money from him was difficult. Eventually, I went to his place

:11:11.:11:18.

because he ignored by phone calls. The police got in touch. They spoke

:11:18.:11:23.

to him and found out that several other people had been caught like I

:11:23.:11:28.

had. Eventually, she got her money, but, still shocked by her husband's

:11:28.:11:33.

death, the experience has had its effects. I have not got over the

:11:33.:11:43.

way that I was treated. It still upsets me, even now. I have a hard

:11:43.:11:47.

day's, really hard days. Today is one of them, I am afraid. -- hard

:11:47.:11:52.

days. Officials are sometimes shocked by the stories they

:11:52.:11:56.

discover. One elderly gentleman already had a mobility scooter. He

:11:56.:12:00.

was convinced by salesmen, in appropriately, to buy another one.

:12:00.:12:05.

He had no room and no need for it. He signed up to a ten-year credit

:12:05.:12:09.

agreements to pay for it. He was already in his eighties. There is

:12:09.:12:13.

concern that some people are going around daughter Dora, and phoning,

:12:13.:12:17.

trying to sell mobility goods and giving the impression that they are

:12:17.:12:22.

from the social services department of the council. Of course, social

:12:22.:12:27.

services do not do that. The advice is to say no and contact the

:12:27.:12:32.

council yourself. There is plenty of advice available to stop being

:12:32.:12:39.

caught out. Some sensible advice. They are the

:12:39.:12:43.

veterans who manned landing craft - - man landing craft that played a

:12:43.:12:48.

key role in the Allied invasions of World War II. Nearly 70 years later,

:12:48.:12:51.

members of the Landing Craft Association have been staging their

:12:51.:13:00.

final reunion. These other men who crewed the

:13:00.:13:03.

landing ships and landing craft that delivered troops and equipment

:13:03.:13:08.

onto enemy held beaches around the world. But now, with members in

:13:08.:13:12.

their eighties and nineties, Landing Craft Association has

:13:12.:13:19.

decided to disband. Today, at St Mary's Church, they laid up their

:13:19.:13:24.

national standard. We had to fold it up because we're getting too old.

:13:24.:13:32.

We want to go out in a blaze of glory, not dwindle away. It has

:13:32.:13:37.

been a marvellous Association of people. This is it, they are on the

:13:37.:13:46.

beach. DD -- a D-Day was their most famous battle. You could see ball

:13:46.:13:52.

that splashing in the water, because there was lots of noise. --

:13:52.:13:57.

bullocks splashing. Things were coming off the shower. We were glad

:13:57.:14:01.

to get there, get rid of them and get back away. Landing craft came

:14:01.:14:05.

in all shapes and sizes. This landing craft at the D-Day Museum

:14:05.:14:10.

would have carried about 40 troops on to the beaches. The bigger

:14:10.:14:15.

landing ships offloaded tanks. They trained with exercises like this

:14:15.:14:20.

one. Another rehearsal took place on Hayling Island. But nothing

:14:20.:14:23.

could compare them -- prepare them for the realities of the Normandy

:14:23.:14:29.

beaches. It was a bit hairy, but we had to do it. Do you feel lucky

:14:29.:14:36.

that you survived? Very lucky, very lucky. These veteran sailors are

:14:36.:14:40.

sad that their association is being disbanded, but their bravery will

:14:40.:14:48.

never be forgotten. A very poignant day for those

:14:48.:14:52.

veterans. Roger Johnson is here with the sport.

:14:52.:14:58.

A significant day for Southampton. The cricket season is over.

:14:58.:15:01.

Hampshire were relegated yesterday but it is significant because

:15:01.:15:05.

although they have been relegated from Division One, they had a major

:15:05.:15:12.

role in deciding the destiny of the championship title today. Aim

:15:12.:15:14.

Stirling battling performance for Michael Carberry set the stage for

:15:14.:15:19.

a docket second innings. -- a sterling. The visitors were

:15:19.:15:23.

frustrated in their battle to win the match and the title. Lancashire

:15:23.:15:27.

won at Somerset, lifting their first title in 77 years for under

:15:27.:15:31.

the leadership of Peter Moores, who you will remember having led Sussex

:15:31.:15:36.

to their first title in 2003. The title is something that I am sure

:15:36.:15:44.

that Hampshire will be envious of. Sussex finished their season with a

:15:44.:15:54.
:15:54.:15:57.

resounding victory over Sussex and Surrey in the top

:15:57.:16:01.

division next year. Poole Pirates' successful season continued last

:16:01.:16:07.

night, and they will be the ones to beat in the play-offs. They got

:16:07.:16:14.

their -- they got the edge over their opponents in the knockout cup.

:16:15.:16:19.

Chris Holder from Australia was the top story at -- a top scorer.

:16:19.:16:24.

In football, AFC Bournemouth have taken experienced defender Stephane

:16:24.:16:29.

Zubar on trial. He left Plymouth Argyle in August, citing personal

:16:29.:16:34.

reasons. He has been playing in English football since 20th August

:16:34.:16:38.

10. And record-breaking Hampshire yachtswoman Dee Caffari has been

:16:38.:16:41.

appointed an Honorary Commander by the Royal Navy. She already works

:16:41.:16:46.

as ambassador for a try service charity enabling injured service

:16:46.:16:50.

personnel to take part in competitive sailing. She sat her

:16:50.:16:53.

third world record earlier this year by sailing non-stop around the

:16:53.:16:58.

planet more times than any other woman in history.

:16:58.:17:01.

You may remember yesterday we showed you some remarkable motor

:17:02.:17:05.

racing film from the 1950s. Some of those cars are gathering at

:17:06.:17:09.

Goodwood for the revival meeting which starts tomorrow. It is the

:17:09.:17:13.

biggest event for historic racing cars in the world. In the second

:17:13.:17:17.

reports -- in the second of his reports, Paul Clifton shows you

:17:17.:17:21.

some film that we have never seen before, in the company of the Grand

:17:21.:17:24.

Prix rider from Surrey who nearly won the championship. The best

:17:24.:17:29.

drivers in the world slide their cars through the corners.

:17:29.:17:35.

Silverstone, 1959. Taken long before motor racing was a

:17:35.:17:43.

television sport, these pictures have not been seen in public before.

:17:43.:17:47.

Paul Foxall was one of the camera man. Looking back, it was a

:17:47.:17:51.

dangerous place to be. There was no protection for cameraman, so you

:17:51.:17:56.

could go wherever you wanted to. still has the camera. The film that

:17:56.:18:06.
:18:06.:18:07.

goes in there only last four or almost three minutes. Even slow

:18:07.:18:10.

motion work was very expensive. It took so much film, through the

:18:10.:18:20.
:18:20.:18:24.

camera, to get slow-motion, it was Here is the French Grand Prix of

:18:24.:18:31.

1959. Watched a highly dangerous start. -- watched the highly

:18:31.:18:37.

dangerous. Even the World Champion that here forgot his helmet.

:18:37.:18:45.

Victims of a chaotic start, Jack Brabham. That is me dry in the

:18:45.:18:51.

Ferrari. I showed the pictures to Tony Brooks at his home. You can

:18:51.:18:56.

see VF four-wheel drift. Tony 17 Grand Prixs but he walked away from

:18:56.:19:03.

the sport 50 years ago at the age of 49. You stopped in 1961. Yes.

:19:03.:19:08.

Why? I thought it was not a bad score. In those days, the top

:19:08.:19:13.

drivers, two or three of them were killed every year. A good gambler

:19:14.:19:19.

quits while he is ahead. The difference between race and at my

:19:20.:19:23.

Tainan today is the psychological challenge. We used to race on

:19:23.:19:27.

ordinary roads. Any one mistake could be your last. You could

:19:27.:19:34.

finish up I N a ditch or against a tree or whatever. -- in a ditch. It

:19:34.:19:42.

was entirely good fortune if you survived. These films are a

:19:42.:19:47.

remarkable record of a bygone era, when motor-racing was far more

:19:47.:19:54.

dangerous than it is today. It was a time when, every year, drivers

:19:54.:20:04.
:20:04.:20:10.

Just fantastic pictures. Fabulous.

:20:10.:20:13.

Free-running involves jumping off buildings, climbing walls and

:20:13.:20:18.

roving around on rooftops. We sat Alexis the challenge. He

:20:18.:20:23.

will discover this is a dangerous sport. You should not try it

:20:23.:20:33.
:20:33.:20:46.

And we law ourselves. My first That was a nice one. It still hurts.

:20:46.:20:53.

Fair enough. Wow. How did you get into parkour? Basically, I did

:20:53.:20:57.

seven years of trampolining. I thought it was too competitive and

:20:57.:21:00.

it was not healthy. I went to look for something that was non-

:21:00.:21:04.

competitive and I could do as a challenge. My brother introduced me

:21:04.:21:14.
:21:14.:21:41.

Here on a Saturday morning I run a session for 11 to 15 year-olds. We

:21:41.:21:46.

are learning the basics. Kids can start at a safe level and then take

:21:46.:21:50.

it outside either with me or by themselves, and build it up like

:21:50.:22:00.
:22:00.:22:08.

Yes, I did it! I have been doing it for two months for some do you

:22:08.:22:14.

enjoy its? Yeah, it is fun. It is up for of exercise. It is personal

:22:14.:22:24.

and it is quite individual. That is why I like it. Good effort. Are you

:22:24.:22:32.

all right? Milngavie. -- no. I tried to grab the wall. It is

:22:32.:22:38.

hardly hide, but I came off the wall and I went over. I think I

:22:38.:22:42.

have badly sprained my ankle. I have not broken anything, but the

:22:42.:22:49.

tears came. I was a bit emotional. That is me for the day, but there

:22:49.:22:54.

are some pretty good lads here that can show you how it is all done

:22:54.:23:04.
:23:04.:23:06.

properly. I cannot emphasise enough, do not

:23:06.:23:11.

try this at home. You need to be a proper practitioner. It is

:23:11.:23:17.

dangerous. Are you OK? I am. Just a little bruised. The swelling has

:23:17.:23:23.

gone down. She looked like she had been in a running race!

:23:23.:23:26.

If you do not fancy that... There are plenty of other things you can

:23:27.:23:32.

get up to this weekend. Here are some suggestions.

:23:32.:23:37.

The Sunday, it is the wacky races. The Sunday, it is the wacky races.

:23:38.:23:40.

Home-made vehicles will be racing down the main street. The event is

:23:40.:23:50.
