rescuers reach the victims of You're putting lives at risk. That | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
is the one in tonight from the umber and service after it revealed | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
a shocking catalogue of emergency call-outs which were anything but | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
emergencies. 999 crews have been called to incidents such as a | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
broken fingernail. There was a social -- so-called patient who | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
wanted a light bulb changing and someone who wanted them to help him | :01:16. | :01:25. | |
find anything remote control. Because the ambulance is dispatched | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
as soon as the call was received, by the time they have established | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
it is not an emergency, it is often too late and the paramedics on the | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
scene. The service says that West's vital funds under spreading lies of | :01:37. | :01:47. | |
:01:47. | :01:51. | ||
those in real need in danger. -- is putting lives of those in real need. | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
Every day at the control centre here in Otterbourne they receive | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
999 calls that no right-minded person would regard as an emergency. | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
Every day, up ardour -- paramedics out on the streets realise far too | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
late that the service has been completely abused. You have had a | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
staple going to hand? Individuals completely abuse our service. | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
not injured but I have no credit on my phone. This film shows the day- | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
to-day frustrations shown by paramedics here in the south. | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
Between January and October last year, South Central Ambulance | :02:34. | :02:44. | |
Service attended 1235 hoax calls. 41 % of the patients they attended | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
did not need to be taken to hospital and many did not need an | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
ambulance and the first place. Each of those calls cost �257 on average, | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
and every time a crew was called to a hoax, it means they're not | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
available for a genuine emergency. There are only so many it Ambler's | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
is available at one given time, and if someone needs and emblems very | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
quickly and an ambulance is the potion he does not have an | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
emergency requirement, there was going to be but a late response. -- | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
there is going to be a delayed response. There are numerous | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
examples of where they have been called in appropriately. In the | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
worst scenario, someone could die. But is hugely upsetting for our | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
staff because someone who could have been helped by their training | :03:31. | :03:40. | |
is not going to have that opportunity to be saved. | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
ambulance service insists they do not want put off people calling | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
about a real emergency, but they do hope it might make some stop and | :03:47. | :03:57. | |
:03:57. | :04:00. | ||
think before they darn 999. -- dial 999. This place is busy around the | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
clock and it is worth stressing that the ambulance service does not | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
want put off anyone from making calls. It is just those very | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
obvious abuses that they are hoping to stamp out with this new campaign. | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
There is a real fear that paramedics could be wasting their | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
skills when there is a real emergency just down the road. | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
A man has died after the lorry he was driving smashed into a series | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
of parked cars in Brighton. The gas mains and the road were damaged and | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
six homes were evacuated because of the risk of explosion. Sussex | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
Police has started an investigation. Police are trying to establish what | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
caused the collision here. It was at around 1130 this morning that | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
this sorry crashed into a series of parked cars. The driver, a 62-year- | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
old man from Ashford, was taken to the nearest hospital in Brighton, | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
but he died. The gas mains in the street were also damaged and | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
because of the risk given explosion, six homes were evacuated as a | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
precaution. This lorry smashed into the white camper van which smashed | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
into two other cars. Then the ambulance turned up. We were all | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
shocked. We have been stuck out here for the last couple of hours, | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
I can't get in my house. The Fire and Rescue Service says although | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
there was a ghastly, a windy day helped insure their gas did not | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
build up around the incident. Gas engineers have been on site since | :05:39. | :05:48. | |
the crash. The leaking gas has been reduced substantially. It is now | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
just a case of recovering the vocals. Sussex Police asking anyone | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
with information to contact them. The Prime Minister David Cameron | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
has said 2012 will be it a vital but difficult year for the British | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
economy. He was in Berkshire this morning visited one of the county's | :06:06. | :06:13. | |
biggest employers, Waitrose. He presented them with a big society | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
award -- a Big Society award. Our political editor reports. He said | :06:20. | :06:30. | |
:06:30. | :06:34. | ||
he had come to light the fire of Onto para -- of Onto parent Merrill | :06:34. | :06:42. | |
ship. He visited Waitrose to present them with a Big Society | :06:42. | :06:49. | |
wood. The company is taking on new apprenticeships as it opens 25 | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
stores. Everybody needs to do more at a time when the countries in | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
great difficulty. It is important that we all lend a hand and we try | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
to get ourselves out of his difficult economic times. I would | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
like the United Society, united communities where Waitrose trades, | :07:06. | :07:13. | |
not fragmented. The supermarket is celebrating be 10 % increase in | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
December sales. 300 lorries a day come through this depot, but they | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
admit not everyone can afford their prices. Labour for the government | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
has to do more to help those on low and middle -- middle income has. | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
They say they should be targeting those on higher rates of pay, there | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
is getting bonuses. Staff here are proud of their volunteering | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
opportunities, but away from the partnership, many will ask, how can | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
we pay for all this? The government is determined to show that some | :07:40. | :07:48. | |
businesses can do well in difficult times. An utterly appalling crime, | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
the words of a judge as he fed -- sentenced three men for an arson | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
attack on a mosque in Sussex. Joshua Morris, James Everley and | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
James Smith set fire to the building in Haywards Heath. They | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
wanted revenge after they were refused alcohol at in nearby garage. | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
Joshua Morris, James Everley and James Smith had committed a drunken | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
crimes before, but the arson was their most serious. They had been | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
refused alcohol at a nearby garage. It was a revenge attack. The | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
cashier on duty that night was from the local Muslim community and he | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
told the group that it was too late for him to sell them any alcohol. | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
They reacted angrily and became abusive and they also stalled two | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
containers of paraffin. They used it to start a fire at the mosque -- | :08:38. | :08:48. | |
:08:48. | :08:49. | ||
they also stole. Luckily, the fire alarm for a cup the man upstairs. - | :08:49. | :08:58. | |
- it woke up the man upstairs. worried they were going to attack | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
again, but it is just one of those things that has happened. It will | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
not happen again. It cost over �4,000 to repair the damage. Today, | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
they were each sentenced to three years for the arson. All of our | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
communities have the right to go about their daily lives without the | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
fear of hate crime. We work in partnership with the committee to | :09:19. | :09:27. | |
make sure we have those links that when something does happen, we can | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
investigate it probably. The judge said it was an utterly appalling | :09:31. | :09:40. | |
crime. Strong winds have left hundreds of | :09:40. | :09:47. | |
homes without power and trains cancelled. 125 passengers who | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
boarded the Commodore Clipper have spent a day at sea air after it was | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
unable to dock due to be weather. In working and, masonry fell from | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
the town's council officers forcing a number of nearby roads to close. | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
In Berkshire, engineers have worked throughout the day to try to | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
restore power to hundreds of properties after lines were damaged, | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
and it has been a serious -- similar problem in South Wiltshire. | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
Power should be back on this evening. | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
Still to come in this evening's South Today: The Paralympic hopeful | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
swapping the bright lights of London for the peace of the Dorset | :10:22. | :10:30. | |
countryside. All this week, we have been looking | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
at the lives of people with Asperger's, the kind of autism. | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
They may struggle to find work or make long-term relationships. But | :10:39. | :10:49. | |
:10:49. | :10:53. | ||
in the last of our series, we meet a large -- a woman from Dorset. | :10:53. | :11:00. | |
is carnival day for Victoria and Matt. She is going as the Olympic | :11:00. | :11:09. | |
torch. I have got flame in my hair, S Barclay hands and I am all in | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
white. Victoria has Asperger's, and much has to erects and OCD. They | :11:14. | :11:24. | |
:11:24. | :11:28. | ||
have been together for four years. -- Tourette's. You get the odd few | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
people who look at you strangely, but most don't. Today, they will be | :11:34. | :11:43. | |
looked at by 100,000 people. maddened a lot of people with | :11:43. | :11:50. | |
Asperger's are quite bothered by the chaotic environment. Victoria | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
was diagnosed with as Berger's very young. In school, she didn't make | :11:55. | :12:03. | |
friends -- but Asperger's. I didn't see friends as an important thing | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
to keep. It is an introvert condition, so you end up thinking | :12:09. | :12:19. | |
:12:19. | :12:21. | ||
sorely about yourself. When we link it, it will be like that. Now, she | :12:21. | :12:31. | |
:12:31. | :12:40. | ||
has much, but how do they cope? -- she has at matt. -- Matt. We work | :12:40. | :12:50. | |
:12:50. | :12:53. | ||
together without conditions. Time ways, sometimes I can be late. I | :12:53. | :13:02. | |
thought it was that way. In the afternoons, Victoria Works here. | :13:02. | :13:10. | |
She serves up 200 people a day. I've got to ask them if they want | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
bags and if they need them packed. Victoria has had a lot of support | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
because she was diagnosed early. Not everyone is so lucky. I think | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
that is the problem, that a lot of people have with this condition, | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
because councils are finding money tight. Getting a diagnosis is like | :13:31. | :13:41. | |
:13:41. | :13:44. | ||
getting blood out of the stone. carnival has begun. This year, the | :13:44. | :13:54. | |
:13:54. | :13:56. | ||
writ has changed and Victoria doesn't like it. -- the route. This | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
year, they're just going in one direction. It seems silly. But matt | :14:02. | :14:12. | |
:14:12. | :14:18. | ||
is not bothered. Relief fund. -- it really fun. Undoing all kinds of | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
sports. A victory has worked hard to find her place in society. -- | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
Victoria has worked hard. I'm happy that I have been able to have both | :14:29. | :14:36. | |
of my parents living together with me. That definitely makes me feel | :14:36. | :14:46. | |
:14:46. | :14:50. | ||
happy, but they need to keep people And join us tomorrow night, when | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
we'll be discussing some of the issues raised this week in David | :14:54. | :14:55. | |
Fenton's special reports on Asperger's. | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
The cruise ship Oriana is sailing into the Solent right now at the | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
start of a three-month world cruise. And despite the economic climate, | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
there are still plenty of people willing to part with at least | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
�9,000 for the privilege. Unlike almost every other part of the | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
holiday industry, the cruise business is still expecting to grow | :15:11. | :15:20. | |
this year, although more slowly than before. | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
Taking on stores for a three-month cruise. Oriana is one of six ships | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
leaving Southampton to go round the world in the next week. Between | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
them they will carry 10,000 passengers. It is nice to get away | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
from the English weather. There are so many places we want to see, we | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
thought we would do it in one go. Something I have always wanted to | :15:41. | :15:49. | |
do. I name this ship, Oriana. years ago, the Queen and named the | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
first Southampton cruise ship of the modern era. Now, midway through | :15:53. | :16:03. | |
:16:03. | :16:03. | ||
her life, Pollyanna has had a major refit. -- Oriana. It is a long time | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
to take some time off. A study partly funded by the port find that | :16:08. | :16:15. | |
each call by a large cruise ships brings �2,500 of business into | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
Southampton. 3,500 jobs. But cruising is a nationwide business. | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
So, the study found that the Southampton industry generates | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
16,000 British jobs directly, and indirectly, 29,000 people depend on | :16:30. | :16:37. | |
it. The market in the UK for cruises has grown by ten to 12% | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
power and then in the last ten years. We are expecting a little | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
growth in 2012. One British person in ten now cruises. This evening, | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
Oriana is on her way to see. She will be gone for 97 days, with | :16:51. | :16:59. | |
passengers paying at least �9,000 each to go around the world. | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
Rescue dogs have been used for some time in disaster zones to help | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
locate victims. We've often seen specialist units such as that from | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
Hampshire Fire and Rescue flying out to earthquakes to help. Well, | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
there's a new piece of technology that could be used by rescue dogs | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
searching for people. And to show it off, I'm delighted to welcome to | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
the studio Robin Furniss from Hampshire Fire and Rescue, his dog | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
Byron, and Grant Notman from technology company Wood and Douglas | :17:21. | :17:30. | |
:17:31. | :17:33. | ||
based in Tadley in Hampshire. Byron seems to be very happy. | :17:33. | :17:40. | |
Anything could happen in the next ten minutes! Grant, cameras on dogs | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
are nothing new. What is new with this technology? The new part is | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
that this radio signal will go through a number of substances, | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
currently brick, metal, plasterboard, whereas in the past | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
Medea's have failed and you lost the picture. So you can imagine in | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
a search operation, you would like to see what is going on in a | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
collapsed building. So you can get right into the building, send the | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
dog in, and it is the live picture coming up. How is that changing | :18:12. | :18:20. | |
what you do? We put the dogs in where we cannot, so we are sending | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
the dogs in, and we do not know what the dog is looking at, and the | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
beauty of at the camera is that we can see any hazards that are there. | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
We might be able to see the casualty there as well. Shall we | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
see what happens? Fingers crossed! So we have the camera attached at | :18:39. | :18:46. | |
the top, and Byron is going to be sent off now. He is going to find... | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
Have we put anything in the studio? He has gone straight to it. Has he? | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
What has he got? We are seeing the camera in the top left of the | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
screen. There is the man, he has found him. What can you now do, | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
once you have got the dog to the casualty? We can talk to the | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
casualty as well, reassure the casualty, let them know we are | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
coming in to get them. The beauty of the camera is that we have got a | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
picture of the casualty, and we can see if they are trapped, how they | :19:21. | :19:31. | |
:19:31. | :19:31. | ||
are trapped. Can you talk to in the dock? We can, but this is still new. | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
The police have been using this for evidence gathering situations, drug | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
searches, so they can identify people through the video, and also | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
the ambulance people are considering it for roadside | :19:42. | :19:50. | |
emergencies. Bomb-disposal also. is very happy! It is a fantastic | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
piece of kit. Are you going to be using this in the future for real? | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
Obviously there are all sorts of implications, costs, but it would | :19:59. | :20:06. | |
be nice to use it. Thank you, by then, and thank you, gentlemen. Who | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
needs rehearsals? If you're keen on swimming, then | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
I've got a date for your diary. Between April 27th and 29th, the | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
BBC is helping to organise one of the biggest community swimming | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
events ever held in Britain. It's the Swimathon, and this year it's | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
part of the Big Splash campaign, designed to encourage everyone to | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
discover the joys of their local pool. | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
A couple of famous faces at his leisure centre in Portsmouth. The | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
Olympian Katy Sexton and the Paralympian Lauren Steadman, there | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
for the regional launch of the annual Swimathon weekend. The | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
Swimathon has grown since it began 25 years ago. There were 100 pulls | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
back then, last year there were 500, but this year it will be bigger | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
than ever. 650 Paul's are taking part. Anyone | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
can join in, you simply choose a pool choose a time of the weekend, | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
and shoes and distance, anything up to one mile, 64 lengths. It is a | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
great way to get everyone from all walks of life into swimming, and | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
get them active. You can swim as an individual or in a team. The aim is | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
to raise money for Murray Curie Cancer Care and Fox board relief. | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
But it is all so to spread the joy of swimming. -- has brought relief. | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
Swimming is an escape from reality. When I am in the pool it is just me, | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
and if people could get more into swimming this weekend, they would | :21:35. | :21:41. | |
realise just so much of an escape it is, it is a pressure relief. | :21:41. | :21:51. | |

27th April and 29th. The sea is blue, and the letter is | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
blue, and so we his Portsmouth. New owners, we have been telling you | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
about this week. Portsmouth manager Michael Appleton | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
is hoping that the club's new owners will have a viable plan for | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
the next few years. The ambitious coach gave up his job | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
at West Brom to move to Portsmouth in November, only for a financial | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
crisis to ensue. New owners are on the way, we're told - and Appleton | :22:24. | :22:32. | |
has his fingers crossed this time. There has been a lot of talk about | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
the five-year plan, and joking apart it would be nice to know if | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
we had some owners, and some owners who were here for the long run. | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
A big fire Cup run for Portsmouth this weekend we will preview that | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
tomorrow night. -- fire Cup run. She's the country girl who thinks | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
of sheep to relax before big races. But in nine months' time, Bethy | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
Woodward could be one of the biggest names in UK athletics. The | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
19 year-old from Dorset is a world champion, and at this year's | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
Paralympics will be a favourite for gold. I went to meet her for our | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
second look at the women from the South who could be the stars of | :23:10. | :23:17. | |
2012. When you go up to London you feel a | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
bit stuffy, but you come down here, and there is actually bear in the | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
world. For Bethy, this form is more or | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
less horror. It is also an escape from the pressures building up to | :23:31. | :23:38. | |
2012. I have always been -- our and 19 and have all -- only been doing | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
this for under a year. So you do not know until you get there. | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
The 19-year-old has cerebral palsy, affecting one half of her body. But | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
it has never held her back. When I was younger my parents did not | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
reiterate to me that I was disabled, and the All was pushed it do things, | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
like I was abseiling off cliffs at the age of two and three and doing | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
crazy stuff with my parents. I think I got the identity of not | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
being disabled. In January last year, the she | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
became world champion. I kept my pace going, and make -- went all | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
the way down the home straight in a good pace. But that was one of the | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
toughest races in my life, and you can see on video, I am saying, get | :24:26. | :24:34. | |
me over the line! There are still needs to be | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
improvement. On the day, it is split seconds. But it is etched in | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
our minds, 8th September 1920 12. 237 days till the Paralympic | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
opening ceremony. By the time the Games end, this is one teenager who | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
could well be a household name. am proud to say I am disabled, and | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
doing what everybody else is doing in the Paralympics, and pushing | :25:00. | :25:08. | |
themselves to the next goal. Tomorrow night, synchronised | :25:08. | :25:18. | |

day. Sue Morley captured the rough The National weather Centre at | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
Portland Bill had gusts of up to 70 mph today. Even in land areas, | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
gusts in excess of 45-50 mph. The winds will die down overnight | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
tonight, but that means very chilly temperatures. More widespread frost | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
is possible, and with these showers drifting south and eastwards, there | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
is the risk of ice. Temperatures in towns and cities will get to around | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
three to five Celsius, but down to freezing in the countryside. With | :26:07. | :26:11. | |

stretches on untreated roads and pavements. Tomorrow morning will | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
start cold and sunny, increasing cloud during the afternoon, but it | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
should stay dry through the day, and with lighter winds we should | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
expect a high of 9-ten Celsius. Tomorrow night, more cloud in the | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
sky, meaning temperatures will be milder than tonight. Showers | :26:37. | :26:42. | |

Temperatures down to around 79 Celsius. For Saturday daytime, we | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
may start some areas on a damp note, but it is an improving picture. Any | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
rain will skirt off, so lovely conditions throughout the afternoon, | :26:58. | :27:04. | |
