:00:02. > :00:05.Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's
:00:05. > :00:08.programme: Six-year-old Dumo died at home in a
:00:08. > :00:13.fire seven years ago. Tonight the man who started it begins a life
:00:13. > :00:16.sentence. A father tells an inquest how he
:00:16. > :00:24.pleaded for doctors to keep his daughter in hospital to protect her
:00:24. > :00:32.from herself. The pride of a city, crowds honour
:00:32. > :00:37.the soldiers marching through Salisbury. The regiment haven't
:00:37. > :00:41.been together for nine years, a really great event.
:00:41. > :00:47.And it's all smiles now but are the fans happy as Pompey take a risk
:00:47. > :00:51.with a new manager. I will always be a bit of a dark course, not one
:00:51. > :01:01.of the favourites, but ultimately I must have done enough to be given
:01:01. > :01:05.
:01:05. > :01:08.For seven years the family waited for justice. And today the man who
:01:08. > :01:13.murdered their six-year-old girl in a house fire in Crawley begins a
:01:13. > :01:17.life sentence. The jury took two hours to find George Sithole guilty
:01:17. > :01:19.of killing Dumo Sibanda in October 2004. After her death he fled to
:01:19. > :01:28.South Africa and was only extradited earlier this year.
:01:28. > :01:33.Natalie Graham reports. They have waited seven years for
:01:33. > :01:37.justice, await a which they say has left their marriage in threads but
:01:37. > :01:41.they saw the man who killed their only child convicted of her murder.
:01:41. > :01:45.George Sithole was selfish enough not to do with the consequences of
:01:45. > :01:50.his actions at the time. He refused to to come forward when he knew he
:01:50. > :01:54.was sought for questioning. He also refused the extradition process
:01:54. > :02:03.which led to the extra the clergy in him coming to the UK for the
:02:03. > :02:07.trial to take place -- the extra delay. Dumo was six his old when
:02:07. > :02:10.she died in a fire started deliberately, angry that his former
:02:10. > :02:15.girlfriend he was staying with family had ended their relationship.
:02:15. > :02:21.He was filmed buying matches and petrol to start the fire, but
:02:21. > :02:24.afterwards he fled to South Africa and was interested in her last year.
:02:24. > :02:28.Sentencing George Sithole the judge told him he didn't think he had
:02:28. > :02:34.ever heard such a pathetic attempt by somebody to light their way out
:02:34. > :02:38.of responsibility. He told him you are wicked and criminal behaviour
:02:38. > :02:44.cost little Dumo her life and you have shown no remorse for your
:02:44. > :02:48.actions. He will spend a minimum of 17 years in prison. The judge
:02:49. > :02:58.praised the family with a calm and dignified manner they had conducted
:02:58. > :03:01.themselves during the trial. The father of a young woman who
:03:01. > :03:04.fell to her death from a block of flats in Southampton has told an
:03:04. > :03:07.inquest he pleaded with her medical team not to release her for fear
:03:07. > :03:10.she would kill herself. Victoria Nye had been a voluntary patient in
:03:10. > :03:13.the psychiatric unit at the Royal South Hampshire hospital. She had a
:03:13. > :03:21.history of alcohol and substance abuse and self harm. A psychiatrist
:03:21. > :03:26.said he had no option but to let her go. Chris Coneybeer reports.
:03:26. > :03:29.Graham said his daughter and needed help. In hospital she was happy,
:03:30. > :03:33.relaxed and buoyant. She was looking forward to being a buoyant
:03:33. > :03:40.stock when she believed she was to be discharged she became greatly
:03:40. > :03:43.upset. He received a phone call saying she had come out of the
:03:43. > :03:47.meeting with a consultant psychiatrist he said she should be
:03:47. > :03:52.discharged but in his opinion she was completely normal. Earlier in
:03:52. > :03:55.the inquest that psychiatrist, Dr Anders Ekelund, gave evidence
:03:55. > :03:59.saying he hadn't wanted Victoria to leave until a proper care plan was
:03:59. > :04:04.in place but she had wanted to go and he had no justification to
:04:04. > :04:10.detain her. He said the date Victoria left to fend hospital
:04:10. > :04:13.saying she couldn't -- he couldn't believe she had been discharged. I
:04:13. > :04:19.stated my fears that if she was to be released there would almost be
:04:19. > :04:22.an incident. -- almost certainly. I felt she would throw herself off
:04:22. > :04:26.the balcony as a fitting punishment. Earlier the court had been told of
:04:26. > :04:29.the incident which led to a going into hospital in the first place.
:04:29. > :04:33.She had apparently thrown for kittens from the balcony of her
:04:33. > :04:38.flat. She had no recollection of that action the court heard, but
:04:38. > :04:41.accepted you must have done it. In court Victoria acknowledged for the
:04:41. > :04:47.first time in her life as a result of the kid an incident that she
:04:47. > :04:51.needed help. He said when he sped to hospital he couldn't get them to
:04:51. > :04:54.listen. I was trying to warn them that any would go. She wouldn't
:04:54. > :04:59.forgive yourself for what happened to the kittens. You have just given
:04:59. > :05:02.her a fortnight of building Harrop and giving her head, and when you
:05:02. > :05:06.let her off the premises she will be dead before -- because she will
:05:06. > :05:16.kill herself and they let Iraq. The inquest's verdict is expected at
:05:16. > :05:17.
:05:17. > :05:19.the end of the month. Just over an hour ago. Anti-
:05:19. > :05:22.capitalist protestors who've been occupying land outside Bournemouth
:05:22. > :05:24.town hall have lost their legal fight. A judge has refused them
:05:24. > :05:28.leave to appeal against their eviction. They've been camped for
:05:28. > :05:31.two weeks and now it's expected the bailiffs will move in. Joe Campbell
:05:31. > :05:37.is in Bournemouth tonight, what's happening there now? They look
:05:37. > :05:41.pretty settled behind you, not as they did they are moving anywhere.
:05:41. > :05:51.-- not ASBO. You can see the picnic tea they are
:05:51. > :05:51.
:05:51. > :05:55.having. That belies the increased tension where a judge considered
:05:55. > :06:05.whether or not to give them leave to appeal. Just before 5pm came the
:06:05. > :06:08.news nobody here wanted to hear. A what is going to happen? That
:06:08. > :06:11.announcement meant straightaway the bailiffs could move in. They
:06:11. > :06:15.haven't done so far, the council has been looking to see if they can
:06:15. > :06:19.get the bailiffs here on site. It hadn't wanted to waste money
:06:19. > :06:25.keeping them on standby throughout the day. Four protesters, and
:06:25. > :06:28.uncertain night looks to be on the cards. -- for the protesters.
:06:28. > :06:32.want to get something done before the memorial service tomorrow. We
:06:32. > :06:38.will not make any disruptions or interfere with those plans. I
:06:38. > :06:46.imagine we will be off the side by then. But we want to leave under
:06:46. > :06:51.hour in terms. At a much pressure on the council to clear the
:06:51. > :06:55.protesters away? You had one of the protesters
:06:55. > :06:59.mention the memorial service tomorrow marking the 11th hour on
:06:59. > :07:05.the 11th day of the 11th month. There would normally end up here,
:07:05. > :07:09.and we saw council workers cleaning up the war memorial in short area
:07:09. > :07:13.from here earlier round. That means there is a pressure to get this
:07:13. > :07:18.site clear in preparation. There is no such pressure down the coast at
:07:18. > :07:22.Brighton where there has been a similar protest. The two
:07:22. > :07:25.Conservative MPs have condemned that a demonstration that the Green
:07:25. > :07:32.council West as the protesters can stay. As long as it meet their
:07:32. > :07:36.criteria as regards disturbed -- safety, disorder and noise. They
:07:36. > :07:46.are still here in the heart of Britain, nearly three weeks on
:07:46. > :07:47.
:07:47. > :07:56.since the occupation started. The encampment has grown to around 30p.
:07:56. > :08:00.-- 30 tents. It is not the kind of thing you would have done a year or
:08:00. > :08:06.two ago? I wouldn't have dreamt about it, but it is circumstances.
:08:06. > :08:13.It is not ideal. Winter coming. Living in a tent eating from a soup
:08:13. > :08:19.kitchen, but there are people donating food and stuff. At least a
:08:19. > :08:25.winked starve to death. -- At least I will not. The Green MP for
:08:25. > :08:29.Brighton Pavilion visited the site last week and spoke to protesters.
:08:29. > :08:33.The two neighbouring Conservative MPs have condemned the occupation
:08:33. > :08:39.of victory Gardens. The green led City Council has resisted calls for
:08:39. > :08:42.the police to move on the Cam. are not the thought police, it is
:08:42. > :08:46.not up to us to tell people what they should I shouldn't do, it is
:08:46. > :08:49.up to us to preserve public safety and make sure the people living and
:08:49. > :08:53.working in the City can go about their business unmolested. If there
:08:53. > :08:57.is evidence that isn't happening we would like to hear it.
:08:57. > :09:00.If the council's tests on public safety, disorder and use and
:09:00. > :09:09.continue to be met by the campers, it appears they will be allowed to
:09:09. > :09:12.stay. Here the clock is counting down now
:09:12. > :09:16.to the arrival of the bailiffs. The protesters have made clear when
:09:16. > :09:26.they do come they will leave but they have already got a list of
:09:26. > :09:32.
:09:32. > :09:34.other sites they might make to here in Bournemouth. -- move to.
:09:34. > :09:36.Eight people have appeared before magistrates charged with sexually
:09:36. > :09:39.abusing children over a 21-year period. 49-year-old Paul Thomas
:09:39. > :09:42.from Basingstoke, 29-year-old Paul Flynn from Reading and Tim Pittway
:09:42. > :09:45.who's 48 and from Winnersh are accused of raping a child and
:09:45. > :09:47.indecent assault. They will now appear at Winchester Crown court on
:09:47. > :09:50.25th November. Five others face a range of charges including indecent
:09:50. > :09:52.assault and child neglect. Funding from Dorset County Council
:09:52. > :09:56.is being withdrawn from nine libraries. Councillors voted this
:09:56. > :10:00.morning to stop paying for the smaller libraries. They were asked
:10:00. > :10:02.to reconsider proposals that were passed in July by a single vote but
:10:02. > :10:03.upheld the decision. Campaigners say libraries will survive and
:10:03. > :10:06.volunteers have come forward to help.
:10:06. > :10:09.Still to come in this evening's South Today: We have the sport and
:10:09. > :10:19.weather. Will this mild November Flynn
:10:19. > :10:22.
:10:22. > :10:25.continue into the weekend? -- The controversial �20 million bus
:10:25. > :10:28.route linking Fareham and Gosport will struggle to take just 2% of
:10:28. > :10:30.traffic off the local roads, that's according to the man who's in
:10:30. > :10:33.charge. But Hampshire County Council believes it will still ease
:10:33. > :10:36.congestion, attract new business and improve quality of life for
:10:36. > :10:43.residents. The route is due to open next April. Here's our Transport
:10:43. > :10:47.Correspondent Paul Clifton. With six months to go some parts of the
:10:47. > :10:53.bath suite are almost finished. Wood panels to hide it from houses
:10:53. > :10:58.behind are in place. Here is what you should look like next April.
:10:58. > :11:04.The project had a very slow birth. For years it was going to be a
:11:04. > :11:08.tramp with a tunnel beneath Portsmouth harbour but at �20
:11:08. > :11:14.million the shorter bus weight is a fraction of the cost. We have got
:11:14. > :11:17.the last 5th of the surfacing to be done, and then a lot of
:11:17. > :11:22.infrastructure for all the technical, electrical bits and
:11:22. > :11:27.pieces, the real time information, CCTV cameras. When the railway line
:11:27. > :11:31.through the centre of this image closed down Gosport became the
:11:31. > :11:36.largest town in country without a train station. Now the track but
:11:36. > :11:44.will be used to take buses off the congested a 32, the only main road
:11:44. > :11:47.into the area. It will make a big difference. A small percentage of
:11:47. > :11:50.the cars taken off the road will make a big difference for the
:11:50. > :11:54.problem area. Most people here want this bus route, though some of its
:11:54. > :12:04.neighbours do not. Those who protested against it still think
:12:04. > :12:05.
:12:05. > :12:07.this is a waste of money. It is not from Gosport 2 Fareham. It doesn't
:12:07. > :12:14.effectively E feet from anywhere to anywhere. I don't think it will
:12:14. > :12:19.work. How many people will it take off the road? We don't know that.
:12:19. > :12:24.We cannot be too ambitious. The tram system in Manchester only took
:12:24. > :12:28.2% of people out of their cars. will open in April. For now this is
:12:28. > :12:32.where it will end. But in the longer term it could be extended
:12:32. > :12:42.for another mile into Gosport. The council owns the land, it has got
:12:42. > :12:44.
:12:44. > :12:47.planning permission. But it doesn't yet have the money. But
:12:47. > :12:52.Thousands of people turned out in Salisbury today to honour the
:12:52. > :12:55.service of local troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. 600 members of 32
:12:55. > :12:58.Regiment Royal Artillery marched through the city. Guest of honour
:12:58. > :13:00.was England World Cup legend Sir Geoff Hurst who paid tribute to the
:13:00. > :13:03.soldiers' bravery. Steve Humphrey was there.
:13:04. > :13:07.They clapped and cheered and waved their flags in Salisbury in
:13:07. > :13:12.recognition of the service of these local soldiers in Iraq and
:13:12. > :13:15.Afghanistan. It is quite a strong emotion to show they are
:13:16. > :13:21.representing our country and fighting for us. Nice we can give
:13:21. > :13:27.our thanks to them for what they have done. The regiment is based on
:13:27. > :13:31.Salisbury Plain. They haven't been together for nine years, so they
:13:31. > :13:35.are all here today, a really great event. Peanut of support shown by
:13:35. > :13:41.local people for what we have done and what we have been doing is
:13:41. > :13:45.unbelievable. He has been away five times in the last nine years. To
:13:45. > :13:48.Iraq and Afghanistan and it is nice to know we are not alone relief,
:13:48. > :13:55.there are other people grateful of the job they are doing while they
:13:55. > :13:59.are out there. Members from the regiment are responsible for the
:13:59. > :14:09.army drains which provide critical pictures of the battlefield. There
:14:09. > :14:09.
:14:09. > :14:15.After the March the troops took part in a service of sacked --
:14:15. > :14:19.backs giving at Salisbury Cathedral. They will now enjoy a break from
:14:19. > :14:29.operations but it will not last long. Around 120 soldiers from the
:14:29. > :14:32.regiment are due to go to Afghanistan next May.
:14:32. > :14:36.A medal awarded to the master of Admiral Lord Nelson's flagship, HMS
:14:36. > :14:39.Victory, has been sold for �9,000 at auction. It had belonged to
:14:39. > :14:45.Thomas Atkinson, who was at the ship's helm throughout the Battle
:14:45. > :14:55.of Trafalgar. The medal went under the hammer at a sale in Cheshire.
:14:55. > :14:57.
:14:57. > :15:00.The new owner got a bargain, it sold for �6,000 less than expected.
:15:00. > :15:03.Village traders in West Sussex are starting a cooperative in a bid to
:15:03. > :15:06.attract more shoppers to the area. 17 shop owners in Cuckfield are
:15:06. > :15:10.paying into a pot for advertising and say they'll market themselves
:15:10. > :15:14.as a boutique village. Danielle Glavin has more.
:15:14. > :15:19.Cook field has a lot going for it, including three award-winning close
:15:19. > :15:23.shops -- Cuckfield. It also has a problem. The nearby towns get the
:15:23. > :15:28.customers. I have been open for just over two years. I still get
:15:28. > :15:30.people to come in and say it is a boutique, we never knew you existed,
:15:30. > :15:36.from Haywards Heath. There are living on our doorstep but don't
:15:37. > :15:41.know. And so 17 of the shops from cafes to hairdressers are forming a
:15:41. > :15:45.Co-op to put Cuckfield on the map. Together we have an advertising
:15:45. > :15:51.budget, and we have branding which means collectively we can talk
:15:51. > :15:55.about Cuckfield and it is about to retailers being part of a bigger
:15:55. > :16:05.slice of the cake. The cult members will open on Sundays and stay open
:16:05. > :16:05.
:16:06. > :16:08.late on Thursdays. Now to Children In Need and how
:16:09. > :16:11.your generous donations are being spent. Laura Trant has been to the
:16:11. > :16:14.community radio station Express FM. They received a grant for over
:16:14. > :16:21.�18,000. The money is helping to run workshops for children in
:16:21. > :16:30.disadvantaged areas of Portsmouth. We had a chat about EastEnders, her
:16:30. > :16:33.looks, Coronation Street... These school pupils are planning to write,
:16:33. > :16:43.produce and star in their own episode of a radio soap. I will
:16:43. > :16:46.
:16:46. > :16:51.It is a bit of a unique opportunity. When Vicky came to our school
:16:51. > :16:55.looking to help out about what Children In Need was about a mother
:16:55. > :17:01.money went and really put her hand off when she said there was radio
:17:01. > :17:07.soap workshops, and for free. I thought yes, I will have it, bring
:17:07. > :17:11.it on. So we have just established a drama group and they will tour a
:17:11. > :17:15.playground and the schools. Children In Need gave us �18,000,
:17:15. > :17:20.which is wonderful. We have chosen to work with some of the and people
:17:20. > :17:23.in some of the more challenging wards in the City, almost like a
:17:23. > :17:28.generational leap of underperforming. We have discovered
:17:28. > :17:32.over the years if you can give people of all ages and opportunity
:17:32. > :17:42.to put them in a different environment where they can begin to
:17:42. > :17:54.
:17:54. > :18:00.perform in a different way, magic We learnt something new today. It
:18:00. > :18:07.is better than school. It is about literacy, teamwork, understanding
:18:07. > :18:12.how to speak, communication. It is teamwork, learning through
:18:12. > :18:16.something that is interesting. We have got a brilliant opportunity to
:18:16. > :18:24.do that. You are bonkers if you don't take it up, that is my
:18:24. > :18:31.opinion. You have to be able to talk and deal with these things
:18:31. > :18:40.going on, and it helps you shop -- stop being shy about it and work at
:18:40. > :18:47.it. It is overwhelming, to be honest. To be here and doing what
:18:47. > :18:50.we're doing, it is not many do every day. Children need project --
:18:50. > :18:55.projects like this are the lifeblood of organisations like
:18:55. > :19:05.this. Baking come up with a creative idea that Children In Need
:19:05. > :19:05.
:19:05. > :19:15.support that creates magic. Thank That is how your money is being
:19:15. > :19:25.
:19:25. > :19:31.spent. Portsmouth Football Club finally appointed in you manager.
:19:31. > :19:35.We are here to find out who he is and find out a bit about him. The
:19:35. > :19:39.Wordstar course and risk came up today. Michael Appleton has come
:19:39. > :19:46.from nowhere to get this job. Portsmouth think they have found a
:19:46. > :19:52.real gem and a talent for the future.
:19:52. > :19:55.So what do we know about Michael Appleton? He's one of the game's
:19:55. > :19:58.younger bosses, aged 35. He started out as a Manchester United academy
:19:58. > :20:01.player, but the bulk of his playing career was spent with Preston and
:20:02. > :20:05.West Bromwich Albion. But it was at West Brom that he suffered a career
:20:05. > :20:08.ending knee injury which set him on the road to coaching at the age of
:20:09. > :20:11.just 27. Since June 2009 he's been an assistant head Coach at West
:20:11. > :20:13.Bromwich Albion working under Roy Hodgson. And it's there that his
:20:13. > :20:23.reputation within football has apparently blossomed, today
:20:23. > :20:26.Portsmouth put the welcome signs up for him, literally. He has rarely
:20:26. > :20:30.been up in lights but he has been ready to take the step into
:20:30. > :20:34.management for a while. I needed a challenge, have been at West Brom
:20:34. > :20:40.for years. To get an opportunity to be manager of a club that have big
:20:40. > :20:44.plans, it interested me more than anything. Schooled at Manchester
:20:44. > :20:47.United he knows Portsmouth are at the beginning of a long process to
:20:47. > :20:51.bring the whole club from training ground and stadium up to scratch.
:20:51. > :20:55.He must balance that with the reality of the results driven
