:00:06. > :00:10.Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. Tonight, the operation

:00:10. > :00:15.which is not on the NHS. The families willing to pay and

:00:15. > :00:20.followed Charlotte's American journey. They can't play with other

:00:20. > :00:24.children and they just run away. It would be everything.

:00:24. > :00:30.Picking up camp. The peaceful protest comes to an end outside

:00:30. > :00:34.Bournemouth town hall. A new Silicon Valley. The �45

:00:34. > :00:39.million data storage facility that could transform an area in the

:00:39. > :00:49.south. And, we will go for a drive in the

:00:49. > :00:55.

:00:55. > :00:59.It's a life-changing operation and it costs tens of thousands of

:00:59. > :01:04.pounds but, since we brought you the story of Charlotte and the

:01:04. > :01:08.surgery which helped her walk again, more than 100 families from across

:01:08. > :01:12.the country have gone to America for the procedure, and now another

:01:12. > :01:18.child is three-year-old Hayden Shaw from Hampshire, who has cerebral

:01:18. > :01:22.palsy. The operation should help him walk. It will cost the family

:01:22. > :01:26.around �50,000, but there is a growing feeling that the NHS should

:01:26. > :01:30.pay. Hayden is a lively, loving little

:01:30. > :01:34.boy, but he can't walk independently. He was born with a

:01:34. > :01:38.type of cerebral palsy affecting the muscles in his legs. It was

:01:38. > :01:43.diagnosed when he was 18 months and, ever since, his parents have been

:01:43. > :01:47.fighting for the best treatment. They are trying to raise �30,000 to

:01:47. > :01:51.pay for an operation in the state which could be life changing.

:01:51. > :01:57.first I couldn't quite believe there was an operation when in fact

:01:57. > :02:02.nothing had been said to me, there was nothing around, so I phoned

:02:02. > :02:07.America directly to find that many families from the UK have actually

:02:07. > :02:12.gone on this journey. One of those families was the Wakefields from

:02:12. > :02:16.Dorset. Their daughter, Charlotte, used to walk like this. We followed

:02:16. > :02:19.her family as they made the decision to go through with the

:02:19. > :02:25.risky surgery in America even though it could have left her

:02:25. > :02:29.paralysed. No. 2. It involves cutting some of the sensory nerves

:02:29. > :02:34.in the spine to help relax the muscles in the legs. For Charlotte,

:02:34. > :02:40.all went well. The future is much brighter. I think she is going to

:02:40. > :02:45.live a normal little girl's life, whatever normal is, and live a

:02:45. > :02:49.happy life. Charlotte has made good progress since the operation and

:02:49. > :02:54.her parents have become friends with Hayden's parents, supporting

:02:54. > :02:59.them as they seek out the same American surgeon. For Tracy, the

:02:59. > :03:04.operation cannot come soon enough, especially as Hayden's friends are

:03:04. > :03:07.now so active. He just wants to run around with his peers. It is

:03:07. > :03:12.heartbreaking when they were off to find something else to play with

:03:12. > :03:18.and he can't catch them. That is the part which crushes me. I will

:03:18. > :03:21.do everything in my power to get him to America. Surgeons in this

:03:21. > :03:26.country have operated in a similar way but, to get NHS funding, it

:03:26. > :03:30.would have meant waiting until Hayden was all there. Even then, he

:03:30. > :03:34.might have been turned down, something his parents didn't want

:03:34. > :03:38.to risk. David Fenton is here. Hard to

:03:38. > :03:43.believe it is two years since Charlotte had her operation, but

:03:43. > :03:48.why isn't it... In that period of time, why isn't it available on the

:03:48. > :03:53.NHS? They are doing some operations in Bristol at the moment, about 11

:03:53. > :03:58.over the last six months. In America, they do eight or nine a

:03:58. > :04:02.week, so a big difference. The issue is probably funding. It is an

:04:02. > :04:07.expensive procedure. NHS trusts are not going to jump over each other

:04:07. > :04:11.to pay for it. That said, NHS Hampshire, which looks after

:04:11. > :04:16.Hayden's family, have said they would be prepared to consider it if

:04:16. > :04:21.the family requested it and the surgeons felt it was right.

:04:21. > :04:24.families have said, since Charlotte went out there, they have gone out

:04:24. > :04:29.to the States for the same procedure. Exactly, and many of

:04:29. > :04:34.them, certainly, found out about it through the charity that

:04:34. > :04:38.Charlotte's family set up and threw Facebook pages. There is a real

:04:38. > :04:43.patient power thing going on where people can't get what they want

:04:43. > :04:47.here and of going abroad. Dr Park, the surgeon, is coming over next

:04:47. > :04:53.year to talk to the families. Before I give out the web address,

:04:53. > :04:57.hell is Charlotte? She is doing well. I spoke to her mum today. --

:04:57. > :05:03.How is Charlotte. If you would like to make a donation to the appeal

:05:03. > :05:07.for Hayden, the website is on the screen.

:05:07. > :05:11.They spent a week camped outside Bournemouth town hall, but now the

:05:11. > :05:15.anti-capitalist protesters are moving on. Today, the judge granted

:05:15. > :05:19.an immediate possession order so the council can take back the land.

:05:19. > :05:23.The protesters have been supporting the demonstration outside St Paul's

:05:23. > :05:28.Cathedral. But many of them may simply moved to a new site.

:05:28. > :05:32.As the rain began to fall, some of the occupied Bournemouth protesters

:05:32. > :05:37.began to pack up their tents and moved out. The next thing to do

:05:37. > :05:44.would be to move on to a new location and set up again. There is

:05:44. > :05:47.not a lot we can do here. 30-50 protesters have been camping beside

:05:47. > :05:51.form of town halls and the protest began on Saturday. Some of them

:05:51. > :05:55.were at Bournemouth County Court this morning to argue against the

:05:55. > :05:59.request for a possession order. It emerged that protesters held a

:05:59. > :06:03.meeting with council officials several days before the occupation

:06:03. > :06:07.began. The council agreed to a protest on Saturday and had been

:06:07. > :06:11.informed of the attention -- intention to occupy the site, but

:06:11. > :06:15.the council argued it had not formally agreed to an occupation.

:06:15. > :06:19.The judge ruled the protesters were no trespassing and told them they

:06:19. > :06:23.must leave. There are people that are going to stay here and

:06:23. > :06:27.passively resist when the bailiffs turn up. There are people who will

:06:27. > :06:31.head home. There is talk of possibly moving to another site.

:06:31. > :06:35.The council says it is applying to bailiffs for an addiction but hopes

:06:35. > :06:39.it will not be necessary. -- for an eviction.

:06:39. > :06:44.Flood alerts have been issued for several areas after a night of

:06:44. > :06:50.heavy rain when 55 mm fell at Farnham in Surrey. Rail services in

:06:50. > :06:55.the area were disrupted just before 7am. Up to 40 mm could fall later

:06:55. > :07:01.today. Hampshire Police is warning drivers about hazardous road

:07:01. > :07:06.conditions, and many Bonfire Night events will be affected.

:07:06. > :07:10.Part of Southampton has lost its water supply. Southern Water says

:07:10. > :07:14.parts of Shirley and Millbrook have no water and, until supplied

:07:14. > :07:19.returns, bottled water will be handed to affected households. He

:07:19. > :07:22.is not clear how many customers are affected. The fault occurred during

:07:22. > :07:26.routine maintenance. Owners of commercial property in

:07:26. > :07:29.the south have been warned to get better protection against squatters

:07:29. > :07:32.if a new Bill goes through Parliament. Sussex MP Mike

:07:32. > :07:38.Weatherley is behind the move to make squatting a criminal offence,

:07:38. > :07:42.but it only applies to domestic houses and flats. It is being

:07:42. > :07:47.suggested squatters who are affected may move into offices or

:07:47. > :07:51.shops instead. Peter Henley is here. Is this a realistic warning?

:07:51. > :07:55.don't think it is scaremongering. There is a tough new approach

:07:55. > :07:58.coming and the law has passed its second reading. There were scenes

:07:59. > :08:03.in Brighton this week that demonstrated that, with police and

:08:03. > :08:07.bailiffs moving squatters out of Richmond Court in the city centre.

:08:07. > :08:12.Brighton has the largest number of people squatting in the south. Mike

:08:12. > :08:16.Weatherley, the local MP, has warned this could be a side effect,

:08:16. > :08:20.driving people into empty offices and shops. Emma is one of those

:08:20. > :08:26.people who are squatting. I met her this week in a former bed-and-

:08:26. > :08:31.breakfast that had been empty for two years. We will be forced into

:08:31. > :08:36.already overcrowded prisons. People are scared of stopping squatting

:08:36. > :08:41.because they don't want to be homeless. But Teresa would disagree.

:08:41. > :08:45.After 18 months of squatters at her house in cove, it cost �20,000.

:08:45. > :08:50.need a faster process and we need to have them criminalised so they

:08:50. > :08:54.don't reoffend. If somebody steals your car, they would be punished,

:08:54. > :08:58.so you would expect them to be punished if they steal your house.

:08:58. > :09:02.But it is a drastic change, if you can become a criminal for being

:09:02. > :09:07.somewhere somebody doesn't want you to be. It is argued that the

:09:07. > :09:11.existing law covers it. But in vulnerable people on the streets is

:09:11. > :09:16.very controversial. We will be debating it in The Politics Show on

:09:16. > :09:25.Sunday at midday. A politic Shell with Peter. That is

:09:25. > :09:29.East Surrey Hospital, which serves Crawley and Horsham, is failing to

:09:29. > :09:35.meet the four hour waiting target for accident and emergency cases.

:09:35. > :09:38.It says it is expanding its emergency department, but one

:09:38. > :09:43.patient's Group says Peter of having to wait for hours is a

:09:43. > :09:48.disaster. -- people having to wait. East Surrey Hospital, managed by

:09:48. > :09:51.Surrey and Sussex NHS Trust, is failing to meet targets for

:09:51. > :09:56.accident and emergency waiting times. It says the problem is

:09:56. > :10:01.capacity, the A&E department isn't big enough to meet the demands on

:10:01. > :10:08.it. It is spending �40 million on redevelopment. We will be doubling

:10:08. > :10:13.the size of A&E. I am absolutely sure that this will really improve

:10:13. > :10:18.the care and experience that our patients get. The government wants

:10:18. > :10:25.95 % of all emergency patients scene within four hours of arrival

:10:25. > :10:29.at hospital, but latest figures suggest only 78.8 % of people at

:10:29. > :10:33.East Surrey are seen on target, below the recommended figure. That

:10:33. > :10:37.makes the hospital one of the poorest performers for emergency

:10:37. > :10:42.waiting times in the country. 22 % are sitting there for more

:10:42. > :10:46.than four hours, it is disastrous. Something is going wrong somewhere,

:10:46. > :10:49.and we need more leadership to see what is going wrong. It isn't

:10:49. > :10:56.happening all the time, but maybe it goes through periods where it

:10:56. > :11:01.does. As well as expanding A&E, the hospital is investing in a new day

:11:01. > :11:05.surgery unit and building new wards. The hospital's problems with A&E

:11:05. > :11:09.waiting times are described as significant challenges by the

:11:09. > :11:13.strategic port authority. This was the view of people today. --

:11:13. > :11:17.strategic health authority. mother was brought here about the

:11:17. > :11:21.year ago and they dealt with her quite quickly and effectively.

:11:21. > :11:26.you get 10 people come in when there is only eight beds in the

:11:27. > :11:34.ward, what can you do? The enlarged emergency department is due to be

:11:34. > :11:40.completed next spring. Still to come, with so much rain

:11:40. > :11:44.falling today, he is Alexis with what is happening this weekend.

:11:44. > :11:50.Rainfall totals earlier on this morning in Farnham in Surrey, just

:11:50. > :11:54.over two inches. I'll be out of the woods? Find out later.

:11:54. > :11:59.-- are we out of the woods. A Canadian company is investigating

:11:59. > :12:03.-- investing tens of millions and creating jobs in the south with the

:12:03. > :12:07.development of a massive hi-tech storage unit. 20,000 servers will

:12:07. > :12:13.hold data for hundreds of companies across Europe at the facility in

:12:13. > :12:17.Havant. Peer1, based in Vancouver, had a visit -- a visit from the

:12:17. > :12:21.Minister of State for universities and science. David Willets bowed

:12:21. > :12:27.out of the �45 million investment would benefit the south. He said it

:12:27. > :12:32.was an opportunity which could lead to the breach and rivalling the M4

:12:32. > :12:36.corridor for computer industries. - - lead to the region. We had some

:12:36. > :12:44.strong hi-tech businesses. We make many of the world's satellites on

:12:44. > :12:48.the south coast. We have got at Southampton bionics. We have got a

:12:48. > :12:52.lot of hi-tech facilities. We should be very proud that, on the

:12:52. > :12:58.south coast, we already have hi- tech businesses.

:12:58. > :13:02.There are many companies hosting data in this way. For them, as you

:13:02. > :13:06.would imagine, security is very important and measures are in place

:13:06. > :13:11.to protect information and make sure the facility is safe. Peer1

:13:11. > :13:16.says it is constantly fighting attacks from hackers and online

:13:16. > :13:20.threats. Should we be worried about our information going missing or

:13:20. > :13:24.being taken by somebody else? I'm joined by an expert from

:13:24. > :13:28.Southampton University, Dr Stuart Middleton. The first question is,

:13:28. > :13:38.with more and more of these facilities springing up, why do we

:13:38. > :13:42.

:13:42. > :13:47.For the key benefit for business is that they can be more computing

:13:47. > :13:51.power and space. The big question is how safe are they? Just recently

:13:51. > :13:55.we heard that people were trying to hack into the Foreign Office. We

:13:55. > :14:00.are always hearing about people trying to hack into the American

:14:00. > :14:07.defence industry. How safe are these? Are they are pretty safe.

:14:07. > :14:13.There are various techniques in place to protect the data. They

:14:13. > :14:17.have the ability monitors which can help spot viruses and Trojans. They

:14:17. > :14:23.have protection against service that tax when a third party might

:14:23. > :14:27.try and attack the data centre. you're a company and you wanted to

:14:27. > :14:32.put your information into one of these facilities, would you find

:14:32. > :14:36.out to the other companies are who were using it or not? I am thinking

:14:36. > :14:45.in terms of one company being bombarded and the other not. A

:14:45. > :14:53.within the data centre itself their rubber Titians. -- are there are

:14:53. > :14:58.partitions. The minister was suggesting that we could have a new

:14:58. > :15:03.Silicon Valley here. It is possible. This type of structure will help to

:15:03. > :15:07.stimulate that. This will encourage businesses in the area. At the

:15:07. > :15:16.future? Data centres are the way forward. They are coming up

:15:16. > :15:23.everywhere with a cloud offerings from Amazon and Google. Thank you.

:15:23. > :15:31.A 110 million pound redevelopment plan for Bournemouth's Winter

:15:32. > :15:36.Garden is now with the council. The redevelop as have guaranteed no

:15:36. > :15:42.bars or nightclubs will be built on this site. It is thought that the

:15:42. > :15:46.scheme could create up to new jobs and work could begin next summer.

:15:46. > :15:49.Dozens of the world's Green is cars are lining up in Brighton for the

:15:49. > :15:56.rally called Future Car Challenge. It is the biggest event of its kind

:15:56. > :16:00.and they will drive to London's a region St leaving -- using as

:16:00. > :16:08.little energy and the lowest emissions possible. Our

:16:08. > :16:12.correspondent is at the start line. It will be a very slow start. They

:16:12. > :16:17.are not very fast, they are very quiet. Most people know about the

:16:17. > :16:20.London to Brighton run for a very old cars, this one is newer and it

:16:20. > :16:25.goes in the opposite direction, using these new fuel-efficient,

:16:25. > :16:30.energy saving, low-emission cars. Hundreds of thousands of people

:16:30. > :16:34.will see this event. In a moment, we will talk to some of the drivers.

:16:34. > :16:44.First, I have been back to see how some of the supposedly new

:16:44. > :16:48.

:16:48. > :16:53.This is the world's first hybrid car, Bert -- built 111 years ago.

:16:53. > :17:01.The designer is at the wheel in this picture. Driving it at

:17:01. > :17:06.Silverstone today is his grandson. There is an electric gearbox.

:17:06. > :17:10.technology was abandoned for decades. It was not very powerful.

:17:10. > :17:18.On even the slightest Hill, passengers must get out and walk.

:17:18. > :17:23.This is only 10 horsepower. I can drive 30 miles an hour. This is the

:17:23. > :17:29.only power -- car of its kind, so it is priceless. My grandfather was

:17:29. > :17:33.not very happy because he found it too slow. His grandson believes

:17:33. > :17:38.that cars of the future will not be powered by batteries. He is

:17:38. > :17:47.investing in this British build hydrogen powered car. This is the

:17:47. > :17:53.only answer. We cannot really rely on oil, there is no other energy

:17:53. > :18:00.than hydrogen. Other designers disagree. His car is built at

:18:00. > :18:07.Silverstone. Two of these battery cars will take part of the

:18:07. > :18:11.challenge. Our objectives are to get somebody to license the design

:18:11. > :18:17.of this car. This is what we believe the future of a family car

:18:17. > :18:21.will be. On the floor, there are three rows of factory which provide

:18:21. > :18:26.the power for this car. These are prototypes and underneath the skin

:18:26. > :18:30.they are more advanced than other electric cars. What we try to do

:18:30. > :18:39.initially was style of vehicle that looked conventional, sporty, but

:18:39. > :18:41.other than that it looks like a normal car. Underneath all of the

:18:41. > :18:47.Engineering and Technology under the skin is ground-breaking. Some

:18:47. > :18:55.of these prototypes are amazing. This car is battery-powered. Some

:18:55. > :19:00.of them are petrol, some are diesel, some a hybrid cars. This is one of

:19:00. > :19:09.the drivers. This is very difficult for you, you lost both of your legs

:19:09. > :19:18.in it than a Stan? Yes, I did. I have fitted in my own portable

:19:18. > :19:24.control. It is with to drive around without my legs. Good luck. Here is

:19:24. > :19:29.the Delta card that we saw a moment ago. What is in it for you? Why are

:19:29. > :19:33.you doing this? It is to showcase British Engineering are to some of

:19:33. > :19:38.the larger manufacturers. It is also about changing the hearts and

:19:38. > :19:44.minds of the British public. Will people really drive this?

:19:44. > :19:49.Absolutely. Heres Roger from the RAC who are organising the event.

:19:49. > :19:55.What do you achieve with this event? The challenge is to use the

:19:55. > :20:01.least energy possible. We want to use the least energy possible from

:20:01. > :20:06.London to Brighton. Quite a challenge? It is, and it pioneers

:20:06. > :20:11.the veteran Car Run on Sunday. event starts tomorrow morning at

:20:11. > :20:16.about 7am. I will be travelling in this part here. For a driver with

:20:16. > :20:23.me will be Damon Hill. He is more used to putting the pedal down. We

:20:23. > :20:33.will see how he gets on tomorrow and also on Monday. Along with the

:20:33. > :20:33.

:20:33. > :20:42.rest of these extraordinary He has waited right to the end to

:20:42. > :20:52.tell us that he is with Damon Hill! On to sport. Stay with us because

:20:52. > :20:54.

:20:54. > :21:03.we have some amazing rugby pictures. There is a big game in football

:21:03. > :21:08.tomorrow as well. Steve Cotterill will be back with his new side. It

:21:08. > :21:12.is 91st his 20th, an important three points up for grabs.

:21:12. > :21:19.Cotterell was poached by Forest to bring stability and fighting spirit

:21:19. > :21:23.to a club in trouble. You will get your answer. Steve

:21:23. > :21:28.Cotterill's year in charge of Portsmouth was eventful. Fans often

:21:28. > :21:33.saw his competitive nature. All of the talk was about a football club

:21:33. > :21:37.surviving. He is ambitious, too. Three weeks ago he moved to

:21:37. > :21:45.Nottingham Forest after steering Pompeii through troubled waters.

:21:45. > :21:50.was probably the darkest time in parts month football cup. --

:21:50. > :21:57.Portsmouth Football Club. That is testament to me and other people.

:21:57. > :22:01.But he will succeed him? Attention has turned to Michael Appleton at

:22:01. > :22:11.West Bromwich Albion. At MK Dons boss has also been linked with the
