Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. Tonight, the operation

:00:06.:00:10.

which is not on the NHS. The families willing to pay and

:00:10.:00:15.

followed Charlotte's American journey. They can't play with other

:00:15.:00:20.

children and they just run away. It would be everything.

:00:20.:00:24.

Picking up camp. The peaceful protest comes to an end outside

:00:24.:00:30.

Bournemouth town hall. A new Silicon Valley. The �45

:00:30.:00:34.

million data storage facility that could transform an area in the

:00:34.:00:39.

south. And, we will go for a drive in the

:00:39.:00:49.
:00:49.:00:55.

It's a life-changing operation and it costs tens of thousands of

:00:55.:00:59.

pounds but, since we brought you the story of Charlotte and the

:00:59.:01:04.

surgery which helped her walk again, more than 100 families from across

:01:04.:01:08.

the country have gone to America for the procedure, and now another

:01:08.:01:12.

child is three-year-old Hayden Shaw from Hampshire, who has cerebral

:01:12.:01:18.

palsy. The operation should help him walk. It will cost the family

:01:18.:01:22.

around �50,000, but there is a growing feeling that the NHS should

:01:22.:01:26.

pay. Hayden is a lively, loving little

:01:26.:01:30.

boy, but he can't walk independently. He was born with a

:01:30.:01:34.

type of cerebral palsy affecting the muscles in his legs. It was

:01:34.:01:38.

diagnosed when he was 18 months and, ever since, his parents have been

:01:38.:01:43.

fighting for the best treatment. They are trying to raise �30,000 to

:01:43.:01:47.

pay for an operation in the state which could be life changing.

:01:47.:01:51.

first I couldn't quite believe there was an operation when in fact

:01:51.:01:57.

nothing had been said to me, there was nothing around, so I phoned

:01:57.:02:02.

America directly to find that many families from the UK have actually

:02:02.:02:07.

gone on this journey. One of those families was the Wakefields from

:02:07.:02:12.

Dorset. Their daughter, Charlotte, used to walk like this. We followed

:02:12.:02:16.

her family as they made the decision to go through with the

:02:16.:02:19.

risky surgery in America even though it could have left her

:02:19.:02:25.

paralysed. No. 2. It involves cutting some of the sensory nerves

:02:25.:02:29.

in the spine to help relax the muscles in the legs. For Charlotte,

:02:29.:02:34.

all went well. The future is much brighter. I think she is going to

:02:34.:02:40.

live a normal little girl's life, whatever normal is, and live a

:02:40.:02:45.

happy life. Charlotte has made good progress since the operation and

:02:45.:02:49.

her parents have become friends with Hayden's parents, supporting

:02:49.:02:54.

them as they seek out the same American surgeon. For Tracy, the

:02:54.:02:59.

operation cannot come soon enough, especially as Hayden's friends are

:02:59.:03:04.

now so active. He just wants to run around with his peers. It is

:03:04.:03:07.

heartbreaking when they were off to find something else to play with

:03:07.:03:12.

and he can't catch them. That is the part which crushes me. I will

:03:12.:03:18.

do everything in my power to get him to America. Surgeons in this

:03:18.:03:21.

country have operated in a similar way but, to get NHS funding, it

:03:21.:03:26.

would have meant waiting until Hayden was all there. Even then, he

:03:26.:03:30.

might have been turned down, something his parents didn't want

:03:30.:03:34.

to risk. David Fenton is here. Hard to

:03:34.:03:38.

believe it is two years since Charlotte had her operation, but

:03:38.:03:43.

why isn't it... In that period of time, why isn't it available on the

:03:43.:03:48.

NHS? They are doing some operations in Bristol at the moment, about 11

:03:48.:03:53.

over the last six months. In America, they do eight or nine a

:03:53.:03:58.

week, so a big difference. The issue is probably funding. It is an

:03:58.:04:02.

expensive procedure. NHS trusts are not going to jump over each other

:04:02.:04:07.

to pay for it. That said, NHS Hampshire, which looks after

:04:07.:04:11.

Hayden's family, have said they would be prepared to consider it if

:04:11.:04:16.

the family requested it and the surgeons felt it was right.

:04:16.:04:21.

families have said, since Charlotte went out there, they have gone out

:04:21.:04:24.

to the States for the same procedure. Exactly, and many of

:04:24.:04:29.

them, certainly, found out about it through the charity that

:04:29.:04:34.

Charlotte's family set up and threw Facebook pages. There is a real

:04:34.:04:38.

patient power thing going on where people can't get what they want

:04:38.:04:43.

here and of going abroad. Dr Park, the surgeon, is coming over next

:04:43.:04:47.

year to talk to the families. Before I give out the web address,

:04:47.:04:53.

hell is Charlotte? She is doing well. I spoke to her mum today. --

:04:53.:04:57.

How is Charlotte. If you would like to make a donation to the appeal

:04:57.:05:03.

for Hayden, the website is on the screen.

:05:03.:05:07.

They spent a week camped outside Bournemouth town hall, but now the

:05:07.:05:11.

anti-capitalist protesters are moving on. Today, the judge granted

:05:11.:05:15.

an immediate possession order so the council can take back the land.

:05:15.:05:19.

The protesters have been supporting the demonstration outside St Paul's

:05:19.:05:23.

Cathedral. But many of them may simply moved to a new site.

:05:23.:05:28.

As the rain began to fall, some of the occupied Bournemouth protesters

:05:28.:05:32.

began to pack up their tents and moved out. The next thing to do

:05:32.:05:37.

would be to move on to a new location and set up again. There is

:05:37.:05:44.

not a lot we can do here. 30-50 protesters have been camping beside

:05:44.:05:47.

form of town halls and the protest began on Saturday. Some of them

:05:47.:05:51.

were at Bournemouth County Court this morning to argue against the

:05:51.:05:55.

request for a possession order. It emerged that protesters held a

:05:55.:05:59.

meeting with council officials several days before the occupation

:05:59.:06:03.

began. The council agreed to a protest on Saturday and had been

:06:03.:06:07.

informed of the attention -- intention to occupy the site, but

:06:07.:06:11.

the council argued it had not formally agreed to an occupation.

:06:11.:06:15.

The judge ruled the protesters were no trespassing and told them they

:06:15.:06:19.

must leave. There are people that are going to stay here and

:06:19.:06:23.

passively resist when the bailiffs turn up. There are people who will

:06:23.:06:27.

head home. There is talk of possibly moving to another site.

:06:27.:06:31.

The council says it is applying to bailiffs for an addiction but hopes

:06:31.:06:35.

it will not be necessary. -- for an eviction.

:06:35.:06:39.

Flood alerts have been issued for several areas after a night of

:06:39.:06:44.

heavy rain when 55 mm fell at Farnham in Surrey. Rail services in

:06:44.:06:50.

the area were disrupted just before 7am. Up to 40 mm could fall later

:06:50.:06:55.

today. Hampshire Police is warning drivers about hazardous road

:06:55.:07:01.

conditions, and many Bonfire Night events will be affected.

:07:01.:07:06.

Part of Southampton has lost its water supply. Southern Water says

:07:06.:07:10.

parts of Shirley and Millbrook have no water and, until supplied

:07:10.:07:14.

returns, bottled water will be handed to affected households. He

:07:14.:07:19.

is not clear how many customers are affected. The fault occurred during

:07:19.:07:22.

routine maintenance. Owners of commercial property in

:07:22.:07:26.

the south have been warned to get better protection against squatters

:07:26.:07:29.

if a new Bill goes through Parliament. Sussex MP Mike

:07:29.:07:32.

Weatherley is behind the move to make squatting a criminal offence,

:07:32.:07:38.

but it only applies to domestic houses and flats. It is being

:07:38.:07:42.

suggested squatters who are affected may move into offices or

:07:42.:07:47.

shops instead. Peter Henley is here. Is this a realistic warning?

:07:47.:07:51.

don't think it is scaremongering. There is a tough new approach

:07:51.:07:55.

coming and the law has passed its second reading. There were scenes

:07:55.:07:58.

in Brighton this week that demonstrated that, with police and

:07:59.:08:03.

bailiffs moving squatters out of Richmond Court in the city centre.

:08:03.:08:07.

Brighton has the largest number of people squatting in the south. Mike

:08:07.:08:12.

Weatherley, the local MP, has warned this could be a side effect,

:08:12.:08:16.

driving people into empty offices and shops. Emma is one of those

:08:16.:08:20.

people who are squatting. I met her this week in a former bed-and-

:08:20.:08:26.

breakfast that had been empty for two years. We will be forced into

:08:26.:08:31.

already overcrowded prisons. People are scared of stopping squatting

:08:31.:08:36.

because they don't want to be homeless. But Teresa would disagree.

:08:36.:08:41.

After 18 months of squatters at her house in cove, it cost �20,000.

:08:41.:08:45.

need a faster process and we need to have them criminalised so they

:08:45.:08:50.

don't reoffend. If somebody steals your car, they would be punished,

:08:50.:08:54.

so you would expect them to be punished if they steal your house.

:08:54.:08:58.

But it is a drastic change, if you can become a criminal for being

:08:58.:09:02.

somewhere somebody doesn't want you to be. It is argued that the

:09:02.:09:07.

existing law covers it. But in vulnerable people on the streets is

:09:07.:09:11.

very controversial. We will be debating it in The Politics Show on

:09:11.:09:16.

Sunday at midday. A politic Shell with Peter. That is

:09:16.:09:25.

East Surrey Hospital, which serves Crawley and Horsham, is failing to

:09:25.:09:29.

meet the four hour waiting target for accident and emergency cases.

:09:29.:09:35.

It says it is expanding its emergency department, but one

:09:35.:09:38.

patient's Group says Peter of having to wait for hours is a

:09:38.:09:43.

disaster. -- people having to wait. East Surrey Hospital, managed by

:09:43.:09:48.

Surrey and Sussex NHS Trust, is failing to meet targets for

:09:48.:09:51.

accident and emergency waiting times. It says the problem is

:09:51.:09:56.

capacity, the A&E department isn't big enough to meet the demands on

:09:56.:10:01.

it. It is spending �40 million on redevelopment. We will be doubling

:10:01.:10:08.

the size of A&E. I am absolutely sure that this will really improve

:10:08.:10:13.

the care and experience that our patients get. The government wants

:10:13.:10:18.

95 % of all emergency patients scene within four hours of arrival

:10:18.:10:25.

at hospital, but latest figures suggest only 78.8 % of people at

:10:25.:10:29.

East Surrey are seen on target, below the recommended figure. That

:10:29.:10:33.

makes the hospital one of the poorest performers for emergency

:10:33.:10:37.

waiting times in the country. 22 % are sitting there for more

:10:37.:10:42.

than four hours, it is disastrous. Something is going wrong somewhere,

:10:42.:10:46.

and we need more leadership to see what is going wrong. It isn't

:10:46.:10:49.

happening all the time, but maybe it goes through periods where it

:10:49.:10:56.

does. As well as expanding A&E, the hospital is investing in a new day

:10:56.:11:01.

surgery unit and building new wards. The hospital's problems with A&E

:11:01.:11:05.

waiting times are described as significant challenges by the

:11:05.:11:09.

strategic port authority. This was the view of people today. --

:11:09.:11:13.

strategic health authority. mother was brought here about the

:11:13.:11:17.

year ago and they dealt with her quite quickly and effectively.

:11:17.:11:21.

you get 10 people come in when there is only eight beds in the

:11:21.:11:26.

ward, what can you do? The enlarged emergency department is due to be

:11:27.:11:34.

completed next spring. Still to come, with so much rain

:11:34.:11:40.

falling today, he is Alexis with what is happening this weekend.

:11:40.:11:44.

Rainfall totals earlier on this morning in Farnham in Surrey, just

:11:44.:11:50.

over two inches. I'll be out of the woods? Find out later.

:11:50.:11:54.

-- are we out of the woods. A Canadian company is investigating

:11:54.:11:59.

-- investing tens of millions and creating jobs in the south with the

:11:59.:12:03.

development of a massive hi-tech storage unit. 20,000 servers will

:12:03.:12:07.

hold data for hundreds of companies across Europe at the facility in

:12:07.:12:13.

Havant. Peer1, based in Vancouver, had a visit -- a visit from the

:12:13.:12:17.

Minister of State for universities and science. David Willets bowed

:12:17.:12:21.

out of the �45 million investment would benefit the south. He said it

:12:21.:12:27.

was an opportunity which could lead to the breach and rivalling the M4

:12:27.:12:32.

corridor for computer industries. - - lead to the region. We had some

:12:32.:12:36.

strong hi-tech businesses. We make many of the world's satellites on

:12:36.:12:44.

the south coast. We have got at Southampton bionics. We have got a

:12:44.:12:48.

lot of hi-tech facilities. We should be very proud that, on the

:12:48.:12:52.

south coast, we already have hi- tech businesses.

:12:52.:12:58.

There are many companies hosting data in this way. For them, as you

:12:58.:13:02.

would imagine, security is very important and measures are in place

:13:02.:13:06.

to protect information and make sure the facility is safe. Peer1

:13:06.:13:11.

says it is constantly fighting attacks from hackers and online

:13:11.:13:16.

threats. Should we be worried about our information going missing or

:13:16.:13:20.

being taken by somebody else? I'm joined by an expert from

:13:20.:13:24.

Southampton University, Dr Stuart Middleton. The first question is,

:13:24.:13:28.

with more and more of these facilities springing up, why do we

:13:28.:13:38.
:13:38.:13:42.

For the key benefit for business is that they can be more computing

:13:42.:13:47.

power and space. The big question is how safe are they? Just recently

:13:47.:13:51.

we heard that people were trying to hack into the Foreign Office. We

:13:51.:13:55.

are always hearing about people trying to hack into the American

:13:55.:14:00.

defence industry. How safe are these? Are they are pretty safe.

:14:00.:14:07.

There are various techniques in place to protect the data. They

:14:07.:14:13.

have the ability monitors which can help spot viruses and Trojans. They

:14:13.:14:17.

have protection against service that tax when a third party might

:14:17.:14:23.

try and attack the data centre. you're a company and you wanted to

:14:23.:14:27.

put your information into one of these facilities, would you find

:14:27.:14:32.

out to the other companies are who were using it or not? I am thinking

:14:32.:14:36.

in terms of one company being bombarded and the other not. A

:14:36.:14:45.

within the data centre itself their rubber Titians. -- are there are

:14:45.:14:53.

partitions. The minister was suggesting that we could have a new

:14:53.:14:58.

Silicon Valley here. It is possible. This type of structure will help to

:14:58.:15:03.

stimulate that. This will encourage businesses in the area. At the

:15:03.:15:07.

future? Data centres are the way forward. They are coming up

:15:07.:15:16.

everywhere with a cloud offerings from Amazon and Google. Thank you.

:15:16.:15:23.

A 110 million pound redevelopment plan for Bournemouth's Winter

:15:23.:15:31.

Garden is now with the council. The redevelop as have guaranteed no

:15:32.:15:36.

bars or nightclubs will be built on this site. It is thought that the

:15:36.:15:42.

scheme could create up to new jobs and work could begin next summer.

:15:42.:15:46.

Dozens of the world's Green is cars are lining up in Brighton for the

:15:46.:15:49.

rally called Future Car Challenge. It is the biggest event of its kind

:15:49.:15:56.

and they will drive to London's a region St leaving -- using as

:15:56.:16:00.

little energy and the lowest emissions possible. Our

:16:00.:16:08.

correspondent is at the start line. It will be a very slow start. They

:16:08.:16:12.

are not very fast, they are very quiet. Most people know about the

:16:12.:16:17.

London to Brighton run for a very old cars, this one is newer and it

:16:17.:16:20.

goes in the opposite direction, using these new fuel-efficient,

:16:20.:16:25.

energy saving, low-emission cars. Hundreds of thousands of people

:16:25.:16:30.

will see this event. In a moment, we will talk to some of the drivers.

:16:30.:16:34.

First, I have been back to see how some of the supposedly new

:16:34.:16:44.
:16:44.:16:48.

This is the world's first hybrid car, Bert -- built 111 years ago.

:16:48.:16:53.

The designer is at the wheel in this picture. Driving it at

:16:53.:17:01.

Silverstone today is his grandson. There is an electric gearbox.

:17:01.:17:06.

technology was abandoned for decades. It was not very powerful.

:17:06.:17:10.

On even the slightest Hill, passengers must get out and walk.

:17:10.:17:18.

This is only 10 horsepower. I can drive 30 miles an hour. This is the

:17:18.:17:23.

only power -- car of its kind, so it is priceless. My grandfather was

:17:23.:17:29.

not very happy because he found it too slow. His grandson believes

:17:29.:17:33.

that cars of the future will not be powered by batteries. He is

:17:33.:17:38.

investing in this British build hydrogen powered car. This is the

:17:38.:17:47.

only answer. We cannot really rely on oil, there is no other energy

:17:47.:17:53.

than hydrogen. Other designers disagree. His car is built at

:17:53.:18:00.

Silverstone. Two of these battery cars will take part of the

:18:00.:18:07.

challenge. Our objectives are to get somebody to license the design

:18:07.:18:11.

of this car. This is what we believe the future of a family car

:18:11.:18:17.

will be. On the floor, there are three rows of factory which provide

:18:17.:18:21.

the power for this car. These are prototypes and underneath the skin

:18:21.:18:26.

they are more advanced than other electric cars. What we try to do

:18:26.:18:30.

initially was style of vehicle that looked conventional, sporty, but

:18:30.:18:39.

other than that it looks like a normal car. Underneath all of the

:18:39.:18:41.

Engineering and Technology under the skin is ground-breaking. Some

:18:41.:18:47.

of these prototypes are amazing. This car is battery-powered. Some

:18:47.:18:55.

of them are petrol, some are diesel, some a hybrid cars. This is one of

:18:55.:19:00.

the drivers. This is very difficult for you, you lost both of your legs

:19:00.:19:09.

in it than a Stan? Yes, I did. I have fitted in my own portable

:19:09.:19:18.

control. It is with to drive around without my legs. Good luck. Here is

:19:18.:19:24.

the Delta card that we saw a moment ago. What is in it for you? Why are

:19:24.:19:29.

you doing this? It is to showcase British Engineering are to some of

:19:29.:19:33.

the larger manufacturers. It is also about changing the hearts and

:19:33.:19:38.

minds of the British public. Will people really drive this?

:19:38.:19:44.

Absolutely. Heres Roger from the RAC who are organising the event.

:19:44.:19:49.

What do you achieve with this event? The challenge is to use the

:19:49.:19:55.

least energy possible. We want to use the least energy possible from

:19:55.:20:01.

London to Brighton. Quite a challenge? It is, and it pioneers

:20:01.:20:06.

the veteran Car Run on Sunday. event starts tomorrow morning at

:20:06.:20:11.

about 7am. I will be travelling in this part here. For a driver with

:20:11.:20:16.

me will be Damon Hill. He is more used to putting the pedal down. We

:20:16.:20:23.

will see how he gets on tomorrow and also on Monday. Along with the

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

rest of these extraordinary He has waited right to the end to

:20:33.:20:42.

tell us that he is with Damon Hill! On to sport. Stay with us because

:20:42.:20:52.
:20:52.:20:54.

we have some amazing rugby pictures. There is a big game in football

:20:54.:21:03.

tomorrow as well. Steve Cotterill will be back with his new side. It

:21:03.:21:08.

is 91st his 20th, an important three points up for grabs.

:21:08.:21:12.

Cotterell was poached by Forest to bring stability and fighting spirit

:21:12.:21:19.

to a club in trouble. You will get your answer. Steve

:21:19.:21:23.

Cotterill's year in charge of Portsmouth was eventful. Fans often

:21:23.:21:28.

saw his competitive nature. All of the talk was about a football club

:21:28.:21:33.

surviving. He is ambitious, too. Three weeks ago he moved to

:21:33.:21:37.

Nottingham Forest after steering Pompeii through troubled waters.

:21:37.:21:45.

was probably the darkest time in parts month football cup. --

:21:45.:21:50.

Portsmouth Football Club. That is testament to me and other people.

:21:50.:21:57.

But he will succeed him? Attention has turned to Michael Appleton at

:21:57.:22:01.

West Bromwich Albion. At MK Dons boss has also been linked with the

:22:01.:22:11.
