:00:02. > :00:05.Hello, I'm Sarah-Jane Bungay. Welcome to South Today. In
:00:05. > :00:08.tonight's programme: Operations cancelled and women in
:00:08. > :00:16.labour moved after a gas leak causes a major alert at a Hampshire
:00:17. > :00:23.hospital. I could not believe it. The midwife
:00:23. > :00:26.said, there is something we have to Tanya, it is not good. I thought,
:00:26. > :00:28.what on earth...? In memory of Charlotte - one mum's
:00:28. > :00:36.fundraising for research into an illness which kills more children
:00:36. > :00:40.than any other in the UK. Proud that this will be a lasting
:00:41. > :00:44.legacy for have. The South's sailors who will go for
:00:44. > :00:49.gold in the waters of Dorset next year.
:00:49. > :00:59.During May, Tom Chambers, as I take you on a toe-tapping journey back
:00:59. > :01:04.
:01:04. > :01:09.A major incident was declared in a maternity unit today after a gas
:01:09. > :01:12.line was broken during building works at the outpatients department.
:01:12. > :01:18.One woman was mid-birth when the emergency was declared at the Royal
:01:18. > :01:20.Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester. 12 mums and eight
:01:20. > :01:22.babies were moved during the emergency, which affected the
:01:22. > :01:31.maternity, gynaecology and breast screening units. Our reporter Steve
:01:31. > :01:36.Humphrey is in Winchester tonight. What more can you tell us?
:01:36. > :01:40.The major emergency was declared soon after 1pm today at a Royal
:01:40. > :01:44.Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester. What is interesting is
:01:44. > :01:50.that the first that people knew about it was the smell of gas, and
:01:50. > :01:55.the big gas leak, in fact, was caused by builders who were working
:01:55. > :01:59.on a new building at the hospital. The hospital's major incident
:01:59. > :02:05.procedure was put in place with police, fire and gas engineers soon
:02:05. > :02:10.on site. A number of buildings were evacuated, including the maternity
:02:10. > :02:14.and gynaecology unit, the treatment centre where day surgery is carried
:02:14. > :02:20.out was also closed. 38 patients including eight babies had to be
:02:20. > :02:26.moved. Amongst them was a mother who was in the middle of giving bad.
:02:26. > :02:32.Terry and Robinson had to be moved -- giving birth. She made it in
:02:32. > :02:36.time to complete the delivery of her little boy, Samuel. It was all
:02:36. > :02:40.hands to the deck, and we were moved through all of these
:02:40. > :02:45.corridors, through the car-park, just as I was about to deliver the
:02:45. > :02:51.baby! Everybody was professional, it was like something out of Holby
:02:51. > :02:57.City. Mind you, I was not that aware of it! It did not affect him
:02:57. > :03:03.at all, I don't think. Today's emergency has had a big impact here
:03:03. > :03:06.at the hospital. Day surgery operations were cancelled, the
:03:06. > :03:11.emergency department was closed for a while and maternity cases
:03:11. > :03:16.diverted to other hospitals. A few months ago, the hospital had a
:03:16. > :03:20.training exercise to test its response to a major incident, the
:03:20. > :03:25.planning and preparation certainly paid off today. Nobody was harmed
:03:25. > :03:31.and our staff rose to the challenge to get their T8 patients, including
:03:31. > :03:37.eight babies, many newborn off premature -- 38 patients, in two
:03:37. > :03:42.facilities in other parts of the hospital. The good news is the gas
:03:42. > :03:47.leak has now been sealed off, but Florence portal, the maternity unit,
:03:47. > :03:51.will remain closed overnight and maternity cases are being diverted
:03:51. > :03:55.to Basingstoke and Southampton. Emergency and accident ambulances
:03:55. > :03:59.are being diverted also to Basingstoke and Southampton. A
:03:59. > :04:05.hospital says any cancelled operations will be rescheduled in
:04:05. > :04:07.the coming days. We will have more at 10:25pm, but for now, back to
:04:07. > :04:10.you. Thank you.
:04:10. > :04:13.A tissue bank to research new treatments for brain tumours has
:04:13. > :04:16.been launched today with �30,000 raised by a Hampshire woman. Anita
:04:16. > :04:19.Smith spent three years collecting the money in memory of her daughter,
:04:20. > :04:25.Charlotte. She died from an aggressive brain tumour just weeks
:04:25. > :04:28.before her 17th birthday. About 500 children a year are diagnosed with
:04:28. > :04:38.a brain tumour, but it gets less than 1% of cancer funding for
:04:38. > :04:39.
:04:39. > :04:43.research. Here is our health correspondent, David Fenton.
:04:43. > :04:50.This is Charlotte Smith at her school prom. She had been diagnosed
:04:50. > :04:58.with a brain tumour four days after her 16th birthday.
:04:58. > :05:04.They told us that she probably had three years left to live. You are
:05:05. > :05:08.just flawed, you'd do not know what to say. All I wanted to do at the
:05:08. > :05:12.time was take her home. Her family then made a tough decision not to
:05:12. > :05:16.tell her how long she had left to live. Charlotte died 11 months
:05:16. > :05:23.later. Since then, her mother and twin brother Jack have helped raise
:05:23. > :05:28.money for brain tumour research - �60,000 in just three years. It is
:05:28. > :05:34.the biggest killer, so why is money not going to brain cancer?
:05:34. > :05:40.Hopefully this will help. They have just given �30,000 to start a brain
:05:40. > :05:46.tumour tissue bank in Glasgow. purpose of the tumour Bank is for
:05:46. > :05:49.us to be able to investigate in much more detail individual
:05:49. > :05:58.patients' tumours, and this will give us clues as to how we can
:05:58. > :06:01.improve the treatment of those individual patients. Charlotte died
:06:02. > :06:08.a month before her 17th birthday, a young woman who loved singing and
:06:08. > :06:16.horse riding. A young woman with much to live for. Her family hope
:06:16. > :06:22.that her legacy will be helping others. Oh, she would have been so
:06:22. > :06:29.proud. Yeah, because she wanted to help people, you know, her friends,
:06:29. > :06:33.if they ever had a problem, she was there for them. She was just lovely
:06:33. > :06:36.and she would have loved this. She would be proud.
:06:36. > :06:42.Anita Smith talking about her daughter, Charlotte. Joining me now
:06:42. > :06:48.live from Glasgow is Dr Helen Bulbeck from The Brains Trust.
:06:48. > :06:52.Thank you for joining us. Tell me how significant a development is
:06:52. > :06:58.this new tissue bank? This is very significant, it is a step in the
:06:58. > :07:03.right direction. To date, there are other brain tumour tissue banks in
:07:03. > :07:08.the UK but they are not organised like this one in Glasgow, which is
:07:08. > :07:16.why Anita, along with our support, decided to back this one. It is an
:07:17. > :07:20.open resource, access to anyone with a suitable project. It is done
:07:20. > :07:24.through a Bylo Repository framework, so the ethics are already in place
:07:24. > :07:28.and every bit of tissue has the full clinical information that a
:07:28. > :07:33.researcher will need, and there is no other bank in the UK set up in
:07:33. > :07:39.this way. For patients and their families, what hope will this give
:07:39. > :07:42.them? It will bring significant hope. What it means in the long
:07:42. > :07:48.term is that if we can get every brain tumour tissue bank in the UK
:07:48. > :07:54.to the same level as Glasgow, we can network than centrally, so a
:07:54. > :07:58.researcher can ask for particular samples, maybe from a rare brain
:07:58. > :08:02.tumour, and at the moment they might only have access to three or
:08:02. > :08:07.four samples, but it we can network the tissue banks, it would give
:08:07. > :08:12.them access to maybe 30 or 40 samples, which obviously will have
:08:13. > :08:16.an impact on the amount of research and quality of research being done.
:08:17. > :08:20.Briefly, in terms of funding, how much funding does research into
:08:20. > :08:25.brain tumours get now and what would you like to see in the
:08:25. > :08:31.future? At the moment it gets 0.7% of Cancer Research UK funding, and
:08:31. > :08:35.if it was not forced charities such as ourselves and others that fund
:08:35. > :08:40.research, it would barely get any at all. We need to really look at
:08:40. > :08:44.this, and I think that is a good question that should be posed to
:08:44. > :08:47.the politicians and the members of Cancer Research UK. Thank you for
:08:47. > :08:50.joining us. He abused his position of trust,
:08:50. > :08:52.that is what a court heard about a former leader of Hampshire's Army
:08:52. > :08:55.Cadets who has been accused of sexually abusing teenage boys.
:08:55. > :08:59.Brian Court denies indecently assaulting cadets during the early
:08:59. > :09:02.1990s. Alex Forsyth was in court today and has this report.
:09:02. > :09:09.Brian Court was in his 20s when he led platoons of teenage Army cadets
:09:09. > :09:12.in Hampshire, a job which demanded respect and trust. Today,
:09:12. > :09:14.Southampton Crown Court heard how Mr Court had abused his position of
:09:14. > :09:21.respect by indecently assaulting three cadets on four occasions in
:09:21. > :09:25.the early 90s. The prosecution said he took them back to his flat,
:09:25. > :09:28.where he gave them alcohol, then touched them sexually. The
:09:28. > :09:32.allegations came after one former cadet told police last year he had
:09:32. > :09:36.been abused by Mr Court as a teenager. Similar claims from two
:09:36. > :09:42.others followed. Today, one alleged victim, now in his 30s, told the
:09:43. > :09:47.court he had not felt strong enough to talk about it before. In court
:09:47. > :09:51.today, that man said he was left "feeling sick" after the incident.
:09:51. > :09:55.He said he remembered it distinctly, and it was "so disturbing". He said
:09:55. > :09:58.he thought the police stopped things like that. He said he had
:09:58. > :10:02.told no-one at the time. The defence said allegations of abuse
:10:02. > :10:12.were not true. Mr Court, who is now 44 and from Basingstoke, denies
:10:12. > :10:16.
:10:16. > :10:18.four counts of indecent assault. The trial continues.
:10:18. > :10:21.A Government minister has been criticised after suggesting former
:10:21. > :10:24.Gurkha soldiers who settled in Aldershot should be dispersed to
:10:24. > :10:27.other parts of the country. Gerald Howarth, who is the town's MP as
:10:27. > :10:31.well as being a Defence Minister, suggested the ex-soldiers and their
:10:31. > :10:34.families should be treated like asylum seekers. It follows concerns
:10:34. > :10:40.about the impact of the former Nepalese troops and their families
:10:40. > :10:46.who now make up 10% of the local population. Joining me now from our
:10:47. > :10:52.Caversham studio is Joe Campbell. When the organisers of a protest
:10:52. > :10:56.planned for next month due to take place in Rushmore called it off,
:10:56. > :11:00.having a plan to highlight what they see as a negative impact on
:11:00. > :11:03.the many thousands of former Gurkhas who settled in the area
:11:03. > :11:07.since they were allowed to come to Britain, when that happened it was
:11:07. > :11:11.thought it would give breathing space for politicians to think how
:11:11. > :11:15.to address the issues, but if anyone expected it to take a heat
:11:15. > :11:18.from the debate, they were sadly surprised with the comments from
:11:18. > :11:22.Gerald Howarth, who came up with his suggestions as to how to deal
:11:23. > :11:30.with the influx of people. suggested to the Prime Minister
:11:30. > :11:34.that, because there is such support for the Gurkhas across the kingdom
:11:34. > :11:38.and we have a specific problem in Aldershot with no end in sight to
:11:38. > :11:42.the number of Nepalese coming year, there should be a policy of
:11:42. > :11:46.dispersal and the Home Office said they have no power to do that.
:11:46. > :11:49.These comments have caused quite a stir?
:11:49. > :11:52.Many in the Nepalese community thought this took the heat out of
:11:52. > :11:55.things when the protest was cancelled, and they have been
:11:55. > :12:04.shocked and dismayed by the comments from Mr Howarth. It is
:12:04. > :12:08.very sad. It is all very well to say this will not happen and it is
:12:08. > :12:13.his thoughts, but it has gone beyond the local scenario now and I
:12:13. > :12:18.am getting calls from all over the UK from Gurkhas saying, what I'll
:12:18. > :12:22.be going to do? It is getting too much. Mr Howarth has been standing
:12:22. > :12:27.by those comments, saying what he intended was not to force people
:12:27. > :12:31.out of Aldershot but for them to be invited by other areas to go there.
:12:31. > :12:34.There is now a cross-party group looking at the problems and a
:12:35. > :12:39.report from that group is expected to land on the desk of the Prime
:12:39. > :12:45.Minister, David Cameron, imminently, according to one of the people I
:12:45. > :12:47.have been speaking to today. Many thanks.
:12:47. > :12:50.A motorist has appeared before magistrates in Worthing accused of
:12:50. > :12:52.hitting a cyclist on the head with a hammer. 20-year-old Samuel
:12:52. > :12:55.Brownson, from East Preston, is accused of attempting to cause
:12:55. > :12:58.grievous bodily harm with intent. He has been sent for trial at
:12:58. > :13:01.Chichester Crown Court. It follows an incident on Gratwicke Road in
:13:02. > :13:04.Worthing earlier this month. The South's marine industry has
:13:04. > :13:06.been given a boost at the Southampton Boat Show, as the
:13:06. > :13:10.Government's Business Minister announced new plans to promote
:13:10. > :13:14.growth. More than a quarter of people living around the Solent are
:13:14. > :13:24.employed in the marine industry. It is a sector worth over �3.5 billion
:13:24. > :13:28.to the UK economy every year. You know we are an island nation
:13:28. > :13:32.and in our heart of hearts, we have a passionate belief about the role
:13:32. > :13:37.of the sea for all of us, but we have to turn that into jobs and
:13:37. > :13:42.economy and what we have to do in government is be an effective
:13:42. > :13:47.parliament, the dad, supportive, engaged, but letting the private
:13:47. > :13:49.sector flourish -- be there, supportive, engaged.
:13:49. > :13:52.Still to come in this evening's South Today:
:13:52. > :13:58.Putting on his top hat - Tom Chambers steps into the shoes of
:13:58. > :14:00.The Hampshire MP and Energy Secretary Chris Huhne has been
:14:01. > :14:05.promising to cut energy prices at the Liberal Democrat conference in
:14:05. > :14:15.Birmingham. In his keynote speech today, he promised new tougher
:14:15. > :14:19.
:14:19. > :14:25.rules to make pricing simpler and promote competition.
:14:25. > :14:31.It is not the usual question asked at the start of their lesson...
:14:31. > :14:36.is a lot of fun to come out here once in a while to get out of
:14:36. > :14:39.sitting in a classroom. Bridgemary School in Gosport put in a
:14:39. > :14:44.vegetable past three years ago and it has expanded since then to
:14:44. > :14:50.include chickens and an outdoor classroom. I look forward to it, it
:14:51. > :14:54.is very good for me because I don't usually do stuff like this. It is
:14:55. > :15:04.really fun because it is not like a normal lesson because you interact
:15:04. > :15:09.with the wildlife. More schools are set to adopt a hands-on approach to
:15:09. > :15:12.learning, and not just about food. The Co-op has launched the green
:15:12. > :15:17.schools revolution which supports practical lessons outside the
:15:17. > :15:22.classroom, including trips to farms, green energy providers and Science
:15:22. > :15:27.and Discovery centres. It gives us extra information. They do a lot of
:15:27. > :15:31.lesson plans and anything that can help us, really, widen what we do,
:15:31. > :15:35.give the children more information and more experience in things they
:15:35. > :15:40.might not normally did. It educate us on how to do things, and it is
:15:41. > :15:45.good that we have got it where other people, we take it for
:15:45. > :15:52.granted because we do it so much. There is a huge appetite for this
:15:52. > :15:58.type of learning. It is all over my hands! 443 schools all over the
:15:58. > :16:02.south have already signed up. That was a great packet! Apologies
:16:02. > :16:06.that we did not tell you what it was about, Bridgemary School from
:16:06. > :16:16.Portsmouth getting involved in a new initiative, the green schools
:16:16. > :16:18.
:16:18. > :16:21.revolution. Very good indeed. Hundreds of people applied, now six
:16:21. > :16:24.have been chosen to crew a 30-foot yacht along the south coast during
:16:24. > :16:27.next year's Olympics. The yacht has been built from more than 1200
:16:27. > :16:30.wooden objects donated from across the country as part of the Cultural
:16:30. > :16:33.Olympiad. The lucky six are from the Isle of Wight and west Sussex.
:16:33. > :16:40.Tony is here with the sport, what news today?
:16:40. > :16:44.We will stay with the Olympic theme. The first 11 athletes for Team GB
:16:44. > :16:49.were named today. Virtually all of them from our part of the world.
:16:49. > :16:53.They are sailors. They have been so dominant when it comes to the
:16:53. > :16:56.Olympics, probably only rivalled by the Olympics -- by the cyclists
:16:56. > :16:59.recently. They are a formidable group of
:16:59. > :17:02.sailors who know for sure that they are carrying our Olympic hopes next
:17:02. > :17:07.year in Weymouth and Portland. Some are well-known faces with proven
:17:07. > :17:11.Olympic pedigree. You can see Ben Ainslie there. For them, 2012 could
:17:11. > :17:14.be an Olympic swansong. For others, the challenge is to follow in the
:17:14. > :17:16.footsteps of some of these greats, and lay the foundations for the
:17:16. > :17:19.future of Britain's sailors. The team announcement was made in
:17:19. > :17:22.Greenwich this morning. The grand surroundings of the old
:17:22. > :17:25.Royal Naval College in Greenwich were chosen for the team
:17:26. > :17:29.announcement, a symbol of when Britain ruled the waves. These days,
:17:29. > :17:34.sporting sailors keep up the tradition. These are the
:17:34. > :17:38.heavyweights, the first names in Team GB's entire Olympic squad.
:17:38. > :17:42.Nobody misunderstands the task is about winning gold medals, that is
:17:42. > :17:46.what we are here to do, everybody is behind that and that is what
:17:46. > :17:50.gives us a competitive this year on year. Established winners know
:17:50. > :17:55.about preparation for major competitions, but for the McGregor
:17:55. > :18:02.sisters, this is the first of many momentous days. The pair, with
:18:02. > :18:07.Annie Lush, go into the women's racing. We are currently ranked No.
:18:07. > :18:10.2, but a lot of things on the to-do list for next year. We have the
:18:10. > :18:15.opportunity to win a medal but we need to work hard to make sure it
:18:15. > :18:20.happens. At the Southampton Boat Show, they outlined the ambitions
:18:20. > :18:25.of the team. They won six medals in Beijing. How many are they aiming
:18:25. > :18:31.for this time? We are confident we will be in the region of three or
:18:31. > :18:34.four definite medals, that is our stated target. We would love to win
:18:35. > :18:41.more, I bet that all of the sailors selected believe they will win a
:18:41. > :18:45.gold medal, and that is absolutely right. There are still places to be
:18:45. > :18:48.won and performances at the World Championships in Perth in December
:18:48. > :18:50.will count. Poole Pirates will go into the
:18:50. > :18:53.second leg of their Elite League semi-final with a three-point
:18:53. > :18:56.deficit against Kings Lynn. They were trailing by 11 points, though,
:18:56. > :19:04.going into heat 11, but they turned the tables as Kevin Volbert and
:19:04. > :19:07.Chris Holder secured a 5-1 victory. Poole closed the gap and lost 48-45.
:19:07. > :19:11.Poole promoter Matt Ford is calling for a big performance to bounce
:19:12. > :19:14.back next Monday night. Aldershot are aiming for a place in
:19:14. > :19:18.the fourth round of the Carling Cup tonight. Dean Holdsworth's in-form
:19:18. > :19:23.side host League One Rochdale. They are in the third round for the
:19:23. > :19:26.first time in 27 years after beating West ham at Upton Park. The
:19:26. > :19:32.Shots are the lowest ranked side left in the competition, but with a
:19:32. > :19:35.great chance of reaching the last And BBC Surrey has full commentary
:19:35. > :19:42.from the EBB Stadium tonight from 7:05pm. We will have the goals
:19:42. > :19:45.tomorrow night here on South Today. A big week of football for Brighton,
:19:45. > :19:48.who have two massive games in three days, starting tomorrow at the Amex
:19:48. > :19:58.in the Carling Cup. Thousands queued for tickets because the Reds
:19:58. > :19:58.
:19:58. > :20:01.are coming to town - it is Brighton against Liverpool. We will preview
