:00:05. > :00:07.Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today.
:00:07. > :00:17.In tonight's programme: Anti- abortion campaigners are accused of
:00:17. > :00:23.intimidating women outside an abortion clinic.
:00:23. > :00:27.It would be totally against what we stand for it to be shouting.
:00:27. > :00:30.A shipping company is fined for polluting our beaches with palm oil.
:00:30. > :00:40.A refit and reassurance as Queen Mary II comes into her home port,
:00:40. > :00:41.
:00:41. > :00:47.but missing the name of Southampton. Southampton is the base for the
:00:47. > :00:50.Cunard Line. Our Britishness will live on for ever.
:00:50. > :00:57.And hoping to take the plunge for 2012 - the young swimmer who's one
:00:57. > :01:07.of our torch bearers. This is a once in a lifetime
:01:07. > :01:08.
:01:08. > :01:09.opportunity. I cannot wait to tell everyone.
:01:09. > :01:15.There are claims tonight that anti- abortion protestors are
:01:15. > :01:17.intimidating women as they go into a Brighton clinic. The group
:01:17. > :01:19.Abort67, based in Worthing, is accused of showing patients graphic
:01:19. > :01:26.images of aborted foetuses and even handing out leaflets comparing
:01:26. > :01:29.abortion to the holocaust. The protest this morning was held
:01:29. > :01:39.outside Wistons clinic. Sean Killick has been following the
:01:39. > :01:45.
:01:45. > :01:49.story. Twice a week protesters gathered
:01:49. > :01:56.outside the Wistons Clinic in Brighton, lobbying women who have
:01:56. > :02:00.come from across Sussex for an abortion or advice session. The
:02:00. > :02:05.clinic says that the protests have been going on for years but
:02:05. > :02:10.recently they have become more intimidatory. When women come in
:02:10. > :02:17.and are upset we ask them to document what has been said.
:02:17. > :02:22.Clients have been called murderers, some have been forced to look dead
:02:22. > :02:28.images of aborted foetuses. protesters admit to showing
:02:28. > :02:33.photographs but then they verbally abusing women who make -- denied
:02:33. > :02:41.verbally abusing women who come here. It is pointless and would be
:02:41. > :02:44.against what we stand for to be shouting. We just hold up the
:02:44. > :02:48.pictures and let people's consciousness work out the rest.
:02:48. > :02:58.But the local MP says that she opposes the protests. I think it is
:02:58. > :03:02.quite wrong that individual women are being intimidated and harassed.
:03:02. > :03:06.I have been myself to the cleric and spoken to staff and they have
:03:06. > :03:11.described how some of these women are very cheerful by the time they
:03:11. > :03:16.get into the building. They have been very much upset by the
:03:16. > :03:21.experience. Previously protesters outside the clinic have been
:03:21. > :03:25.arrested under the Public Order Act. In recent weeks there have also
:03:25. > :03:32.been counter-demonstration spy people supporting abortion. Today
:03:33. > :03:35.police officers stood nearby but the demonstration passed peacefully.
:03:35. > :03:37.A shipping company based in Singapore has been ordered to pay
:03:37. > :03:44.almost a hundred thousand pounds for illegally dumping palm oil into
:03:44. > :03:46.the sea off the Isle of Wight. Yellow lumps of the material were
:03:46. > :03:49.washed up at a number of beaches in Hampshire and West Sussex earlier
:03:49. > :03:58.this year. The owners of the tanker denied being responsible for the
:03:58. > :04:02.leak, but today a court found them guilty, as Rachael Canter reports.
:04:02. > :04:08.Bright yellow clumps of solidified palm oil discovered along the south
:04:08. > :04:13.coast. Not toxic, but a hefty clean-up operation. This speech was
:04:14. > :04:18.forced to close for three days. had a team out this morning working
:04:18. > :04:23.from both ends towards each other picking up as much as they could.
:04:23. > :04:28.This is the tanker responsible. It had recently discharged its cargo
:04:28. > :04:31.of Palme D'Or in Rotterdam and Hamburg and sailed to the Isle of
:04:31. > :04:35.Wight. But the cold weather caused some of the Palme D'Or on board to
:04:35. > :04:41.solidify. The crew spent 10 days struggling to clean the tanks and
:04:41. > :04:44.pipes. The ship was turned away from an oil refinery because of the
:04:44. > :04:48.state did was in. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency carried out an
:04:48. > :04:55.inspection and discovered that the yellow lumps of Pam will wear on
:04:55. > :04:59.the deck. Today the judgment was welcomed. It sends out a clear
:04:59. > :05:07.message to the shipping industry that they need to make sure of that
:05:07. > :05:12.this thing -- this type of thing does not happen. There was the
:05:12. > :05:17.shock value of this unknown substance turning up on the beach.
:05:17. > :05:19.That resulted in the beach is being closed. The judge and Southampton
:05:20. > :05:23.magistrates' court said that the ship was in the right place at the
:05:23. > :05:27.right time carrying precisely the combination of oils later found and
:05:27. > :05:31.the beaches. He said that the crew were having problems cleaning the
:05:31. > :05:34.ship and is charging the material into the sea would have been an
:05:34. > :05:36.obvious way to resolve it. Well, I am joined by Rachael Canter now.
:05:36. > :05:41.Rachael, what are the wider implications for other shipping
:05:41. > :05:45.companies? As we heard from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency in
:05:45. > :05:47.my report, there was no significant environmental impact. However,
:05:47. > :05:53.there was a significant clean up operation by the local authority,
:05:53. > :05:55.at a cost to the taxpayer. This judgement sends out a clear message
:05:56. > :06:00.that shipping companies need to have proper procedures in place for
:06:00. > :06:04.when a ship becomes contaminated in this way. They can't just discharge
:06:04. > :06:07.material into the sea. And what have the tanker's owners had to
:06:07. > :06:14.say? Pretty Time Shipping is operated by a Singapore-based
:06:14. > :06:21.company. It had denied the charges but was today fined �20,000 and
:06:21. > :06:25.told to pay additional legal costs of �75,000. It said today this was
:06:25. > :06:27.a one-off incident and promised that it will never happen again. It
:06:27. > :06:32.says it operates a zero-tolerance policy towards environmental
:06:32. > :06:35.pollution. Meanwhile Thames Water has been
:06:35. > :06:42.fined �30,000 for being responsible for releasing sewage into a North
:06:42. > :06:46.Hampshire stream. More than 7,000 fish died in the Silchester and
:06:46. > :06:48.Foudry brook near Tadley as a result of the contamination. The
:06:48. > :06:53.incident has been described as "catastrophic" by the Environment
:06:53. > :06:55.Agency who dealt with the clean-up. Meanwhile Thames Water says it was
:06:55. > :06:59.a deeply regrettable incident that had serious consequences on the
:06:59. > :07:02.environment. A man has been charged with the
:07:02. > :07:05.murder of a baby in Worthing. A post mortem examination revealed
:07:05. > :07:08.11-month-old Crystal Hall-Hummell sustained a head injury, in May.
:07:08. > :07:10.She was taken to St Thomas' hospital in London but later died.
:07:10. > :07:15.27-year-old Jerome Edwards from Midhurst has been remanded in
:07:15. > :07:18.custody to appear at Lewes crown court tomorrow.
:07:18. > :07:21.A man's been found guilty of armed robbery after threatening a
:07:21. > :07:25.Portland taxi driver with a handgun. Colin Paul Douglas tied the driver
:07:25. > :07:27.up before stealing money from garages in February. He's now been
:07:27. > :07:29.convicted of 18 offences in the Weymouth and Dorchester area,
:07:29. > :07:37.including another armed robbery at Abbotsbury Road Post Office in
:07:37. > :07:40.March where he stole thousands of pounds in cash.
:07:40. > :07:44.A serial rapist has been sent to prison for 18 years, with the judge
:07:44. > :07:46.calling him a dangerous man who'd shown not a shred of remorse.
:07:46. > :07:52.Michal Tejkowski, who moved to Brighton from Poland last October,
:07:52. > :07:54.raped two women in Brighton and sexually assaulted another in Kent.
:07:54. > :08:03.Sussex Police have praised his victims for giving evidence against
:08:03. > :08:07.him. Mark Sanders reports. This is Michal Tejkowski, a
:08:07. > :08:11.predatory serial rapist, following his first victim in Brighton. In a
:08:11. > :08:16.three-month period this year he attacked three women. A few moments
:08:16. > :08:20.after these images were taken, he assaulted a 17 year-old A-level
:08:20. > :08:25.student. He tractor from the street into this park and raped her. He
:08:25. > :08:30.struck again within a month, raping a 25 year-old woman in this
:08:30. > :08:36.supermarket car-park. She had been working as a prostitute. Then in
:08:36. > :08:41.May he sexually assaulted a pensioner at a park in Maidstone.
:08:41. > :08:47.He was picked out in an identity parade by his 67 year-old victim.
:08:47. > :08:52.DNA evidence linked him to the rapes in Brighton. Make no mistake,
:08:52. > :08:55.Michal Tejkowski it is an extremely dangerous man. He has raped two
:08:55. > :09:00.women and sexually assaulted another in a period of just three
:09:00. > :09:04.months and we are delighted to have caught him to ensure that he stops
:09:04. > :09:10.reoffending again and is now behind bars for a long time. Michal
:09:10. > :09:15.Tejkowski was found guilty on all charges at Lewes Crown Court. The
:09:15. > :09:18.judge sent him to prison for 18 years. In sentencing, the judge
:09:18. > :09:23.told him that his actions and caused devastating effects both
:09:23. > :09:27.physical and emotional for his victims. He is shown not a shred of
:09:28. > :09:33.remorse are any spark of human compassion. He was a thoroughly
:09:33. > :09:36.dangerous man. The three victims took the stand at his trial. The
:09:36. > :09:40.detective who led the investigation said today that he and his team
:09:40. > :09:44.were humbled by the courage and strength of the women in giving
:09:44. > :09:46.evidence against their attacker. Four teenagers have been arrested
:09:46. > :09:50.on suspicion of criminal damage following attacks on buses in
:09:50. > :09:53.Bournemouth. The Yellow Buses were damaged and windows smashed while
:09:53. > :09:56.passengers were on board. The council now says it won't be
:09:56. > :09:59.evicting any tenants caught, as previously stated. The boys have
:09:59. > :10:03.all been released on bail. Yellow Buses say it will reinstate the
:10:03. > :10:06.service in West Howe this evening. Still to come in this evening's
:10:06. > :10:10.South Today: As we've seen a lot extreme weather around the country,
:10:11. > :10:16.Alexis has a detailed forecast for the south.
:10:16. > :10:21.The winds in the south have been strong gusting up to 56 mph. This
:10:21. > :10:23.is Brighton this afternoon, where there were gusts of 46 mph. The
:10:23. > :10:30.heavy rain and strong winds will continue this evening and tonight.
:10:30. > :10:32.I'll have more details later in the programme.
:10:32. > :10:37.Gatwick has stepped up preparations to ensure flights can land and take
:10:37. > :10:41.off safely in snow and ice. Last year flights were grounded in
:10:41. > :10:44.severe weather. The airport has now doubled its snow clearing fleet and
:10:44. > :10:54.claims it can clear as much snow as Oslo airport, which one of Europe's
:10:54. > :11:00.
:11:00. > :11:02.snowiest cities. A report by the National Housing Federation claims
:11:02. > :11:04.an entire generation has been locked out of the housing market
:11:04. > :11:06.across much of the south. Chichester has been named the least
:11:07. > :11:09.affordable place in the region. The average house price is nearly 20
:11:09. > :11:12.times the average local income. South Buckinghamshire came third in
:11:12. > :11:15.the list. The fight to stop 2,000 homes being
:11:15. > :11:19.built on farmland near Winchester is on again, two months after the
:11:19. > :11:22.plans for Barton Farm were thrown out by the Secretary of State.
:11:22. > :11:25.Councillors will discuss plans to build on the land this evening.
:11:25. > :11:28.More than a thousand people signed a petition against the proposed
:11:28. > :11:30.development. But Winchester City Council says while the specific
:11:30. > :11:39.application by Cala Homes was rejected, Barton Farm is still a
:11:39. > :11:41.preferred site. We're staying here and we're
:11:41. > :11:44.continuing to provide tremendous economic benefit to everybody in
:11:44. > :11:49.Southampton. This was the emphatic statement from Peter Shanks,
:11:49. > :11:51.president and managing director of Cunard Line today. He was eager to
:11:51. > :11:58.reassure people that despite removing the name Southampton from
:11:58. > :12:06.its fleet, Cunard isn't looking to base its luxury liners elsewhere.
:12:06. > :12:11.Chrissy Sturt reports. Two months ago Cunard scrapped the
:12:11. > :12:14.name Southampton off its fleets. Since then local businesses and
:12:14. > :12:19.politicians have been questioning the commitment of the company to
:12:19. > :12:24.the city. One of Southampton's MPs is demanding a meeting with the
:12:24. > :12:29.Cunard president to clarify the situation. So does Cunard regard
:12:29. > :12:33.Southampton as the Home Park -- home port? I can reassure everyone
:12:33. > :12:39.that Southampton is the base for the Cunard Line. Our Britishness
:12:39. > :12:45.will live on for ever. But moving with the Times, we also want to
:12:45. > :12:49.offer weddings at sea. We have had tremendous interest in that. But we
:12:49. > :12:53.can reassure everyone of the economic benefit that would bring
:12:53. > :12:57.to the region and that will continue. Today the Queen Mary was
:12:57. > :13:02.showing off her lavish new look. Some of the lucrative contracts to
:13:02. > :13:09.update the furnishings have been one locally. A reminder of why the
:13:09. > :13:13.connection is so prized. The market is a demanding one with regulars
:13:13. > :13:18.expecting to see new carpets and colours in their favourite ships,
:13:18. > :13:22.making the Updates an endless process. So how long did it take to
:13:22. > :13:29.refit all pectin hundred cabins? Amazingly, less than two weeks.
:13:29. > :13:33.Only 12 days in a German dry dock. But why not here? With a ship this
:13:33. > :13:38.size we need to take it out of the water and there is not a dry dock
:13:38. > :13:42.large enough to do that in the UK. A lot of our British engineers and
:13:42. > :13:47.designers did most of the actual work in the cabins. So we get the
:13:47. > :13:50.British work but we can only do it in Germany. Parts of the industry
:13:50. > :13:56.have been struggling during the economic downturn but cruising
:13:56. > :14:02.seems pretty much recession-proof. On board the ship there will be
:14:02. > :14:09.2500 people on every trip, paying on average �3,000. The crews today
:14:09. > :14:19.was again fully booked. Even this suite - with an eye-watering price
:14:19. > :14:22.
:14:22. > :14:29.tag of �12,000 per person, per week. Did I notice her slipping in and
:14:29. > :14:39.little cocktail?! Now all we have all this brought to
:14:39. > :14:39.
:14:39. > :14:43.light. There was a Football League board meeting and the parent
:14:43. > :14:47.company of Portsmouth had gone into administration. There were
:14:47. > :14:53.discussing a possible points deduction for Portsmouth. But the
:14:53. > :14:56.club is still waiting to hear if that is likely to be imposed. No
:14:56. > :14:59.decision was taken today. At 34 and blighted by an Achilles
:14:59. > :15:01.injury which saw him miss virtually a year in the game, the career of
:15:01. > :15:05.Hampshire all-rounder, Dimitri Mascarenhas, could have been
:15:05. > :15:08.written off. But this season he battled back to rediscover his form.
:15:08. > :15:17.Today, he was rewarded with a two year extension to his contract,
:15:17. > :15:22.which will also see him resume his captaincy of the Twenty20 side. He
:15:22. > :15:29.spent his playing life with Hampshire, signing in 1996 aged 18.
:15:29. > :15:33.He is the longest service -- longer serving player in the county.
:15:33. > :15:38.never wanted to leave so from that perspective, it is great. We have
:15:38. > :15:43.some great youngsters and hopefully I can help with their development.
:15:43. > :15:48.They have been highs and lows. He was part of the Hampshire team to
:15:48. > :15:52.lift the trophy in 2005 and was made captain in 2008. The year
:15:52. > :15:56.later he led Hampshire to victory in the Lord's final against Sussex
:15:56. > :16:01.in the Friends Provident Trophy. But a series of the Achilles
:16:01. > :16:06.injuries meant that he played just half a match all season in 2010.
:16:06. > :16:11.But this summer he had a dramatic return to form. It has been a tough
:16:11. > :16:16.yet -- Tapia with injury. The club wanted to see if I could get
:16:16. > :16:24.through but a has proved my wife. His Hampshire career to date has
:16:24. > :16:28.seen him play 460 matches. He has made eight centuries and 48 1/2
:16:28. > :16:32.centuries and has taken 772 wickets. The announcement today insures it
:16:32. > :16:35.is not over yet. After Saturday's game, he called it
:16:35. > :16:37.the worst decision he's seen in many a year. And now it seems
:16:37. > :16:40.Reading manager, Brian McDermott, was absolutely right in that
:16:41. > :16:42.assessment. It's emerged the referee from Saturday's game
:16:42. > :16:45.against Blackpool has admitted his offside decision, in disallowing
:16:45. > :16:54.Simon Church's early goal was the wrong call and has offered an
:16:54. > :16:57.apology to Reading. Very disappointing. There was a
:16:57. > :17:04.gold incident which was blatantly on side and we could have had a
:17:04. > :17:08.penalty. We have been let down as far as the officials are concerned.
:17:08. > :17:12.It is a good thing, the referees need to come out and say that. It
:17:12. > :17:18.is one of those things. It was the wrong decision and they know that
:17:18. > :17:20.now. We can move on from that. The Royals have a sell out game
:17:20. > :17:23.against West Ham on Saturday - we'll look ahead to that tomorrow.
:17:23. > :17:25.To sailing now and the World Championships in Perth. Things are
:17:25. > :17:27.really hotting up in the Finn class. Weymouth's Giles Scott is in second
:17:27. > :17:31.place with triple Olympic gold medallist Ben Ainslie from
:17:31. > :17:33.Lymington in third. There are four more races to go before the medal
:17:33. > :17:36.race on Sunday. Weymouth windsurfer, Bryony Shaw, has slipped from
:17:36. > :17:38.second to fourth following her three races today, while in the
:17:38. > :17:40.men's 470, Luke Patience and Stuart Bithell - who are also Weymouth
:17:40. > :17:50.based - are second overall despite their worst race yet, where they
:17:50. > :17:54.
:17:54. > :18:01.capsized and placed 28th. But of course that is their worst
:18:01. > :18:05.result and they can discount that. Their second overall still. But
:18:05. > :18:07.that is not the biggest sports news of the day.
:18:07. > :18:15.It all happened today by email. The first of our torchbearers were
:18:15. > :18:17.announced. I bet there's a few excited people tonight, Jo?
:18:17. > :18:22.Some of our most inspiring people have been rewarded with the chance
:18:22. > :18:25.to carry the Olympic Torch. It will arrive in in our region on July the
:18:25. > :18:31.9th next year. The torch will travel through more than a hundred
:18:31. > :18:32.towns and cities including Weymouth, Brighton and Reading.
:18:32. > :18:38.Roisin Gauson has been in Bournemouth meeting a school-girl
:18:38. > :18:45.who's proving to be a real Olympic inspiration.
:18:45. > :18:52.In scenes that seems like this will be coming to a street near yellow -
:18:52. > :19:01.- near you. The Olympic torch will travel to many destinations in the
:19:01. > :19:07.South before making its way to London. Today it becomes a human.
:19:07. > :19:17.And it is incredibly exciting to think these people standing over
:19:17. > :19:21.there will be carrying an Olympic torch.
:19:21. > :19:29.Alice type from Bournemouth and was one of the lucky people to get the
:19:29. > :19:39.e-mail today. It was amazing. I did not believe it. Then we had another
:19:39. > :19:43.phone call and I just thought, this is brilliant. Alice is a swim or
:19:43. > :19:48.the trains for mordant 15 hours a week. Her regime is only just got
:19:48. > :19:55.back on track. She spent 18 months and a wheelchair following an
:19:55. > :20:02.operation on a club foot. parents are proud of their children
:20:02. > :20:08.but she's just having a really hard time with surgery and it has been
:20:09. > :20:11.quite bleak at times. But for her, this has been a wonderful plus to
:20:11. > :20:17.all the negatives she has experienced. She thoroughly
:20:17. > :20:21.deserves it. Back in the water, Alice wasted no time regaining her
:20:21. > :20:26.form. Within two weeks she was selected for the UK school games
:20:26. > :20:33.and now she is training for the Paralympics and the team trials in
