:00:05. > :00:09.Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's
:00:09. > :00:18.programme: Bottom of the pile. An academy in
:00:18. > :00:21.Poole is the worst in the country in GCSE league tables. We only had
:00:21. > :00:24.these young people for eight months of a ten-year learning experience
:00:24. > :00:27.and although we did our best, unfortunately it
:00:27. > :00:30.Mental illness and pressure to renovate their home, triggers that
:00:30. > :00:34.led this man to kill his wife. Hollywood's special effects help to
:00:34. > :00:37.map out the key to how to play the piano.
:00:37. > :00:47.And best foot forward, the new footpath that will lead eventually
:00:47. > :00:54.
:00:54. > :00:58.Secondary school league tables have revealed a large gap between the
:00:58. > :01:01.best and worst performing areas across the South. While Hampshire
:01:01. > :01:05.is near the top of the table for GCSE performance, Southampton and
:01:05. > :01:08.Portsmouth remain towards the bottom. The opening of St Aldhelm's
:01:08. > :01:13.Academy in Poole was supposed to mark a turn around for pupils of
:01:13. > :01:23.the failing Rossmore Community College. But the league tables show
:01:23. > :01:26.
:01:26. > :01:31.a drop in results, making it the worst performing school in England.
:01:31. > :01:38.In most of the schools across the south there are a lot of factors
:01:38. > :01:41.that contribute to their exam performance. In most of our schools
:01:41. > :01:44.in the South, well over half the pupils get five good GCSEs
:01:44. > :01:49.including English and Maths. But here at St Aldhelm's Academy in
:01:49. > :01:53.Poole just 3% of pupils got five GCSEs above grade C. Across the
:01:53. > :01:57.rest of Poole and in neighbouring Bournemouth the figure was 57%. The
:01:57. > :02:07.head here says work is already underway to improve its performance.
:02:07. > :02:11.It only became an academy in 2010. We are the worst in the country.
:02:11. > :02:15.There is nothing that we can do to change that. Unfortunately we only
:02:15. > :02:20.had these young people for eight months of a ten-year learning
:02:20. > :02:24.experience and although we did our best, unfortunately it was not good
:02:24. > :02:28.enough. The important thing about change, if it is going to be
:02:28. > :02:36.sustainable and worthwhile, is that it takes time and eight runs is not
:02:36. > :02:40.a lot of time. The pupils here at the Academy say
:02:40. > :02:44.they are already signs of changes. Those students that got those
:02:44. > :02:48.grades only had eight months with the Academy and so could not
:02:48. > :02:52.benefit from what we are getting. The teachers have been a lot more
:02:52. > :02:56.supportive. We have more 1-1 sessions and talk about our
:02:56. > :03:06.strengths and weaknesses. I started of getting these and sees when I
:03:06. > :03:09.came here and now where mainly on bees.
:03:09. > :03:12.Let's look in more details about the differences in exam performance
:03:12. > :03:14.here in the South. Top of the class is Wokingham with over 67% of
:03:14. > :03:17.pupils getting those five good GCSE's. Hampshire, Bracknell Forest,
:03:17. > :03:20.Dorset and West Sussex have also performed well. Those with room for
:03:20. > :03:23.improvement include some of the big conurbations - Reading, Brighton &
:03:23. > :03:28.Hove, Southampton and Portsmouth. You'll notice that 10% gap between
:03:28. > :03:32.Reading and Portsmouth. So, how do schools improve? Well, I've been to
:03:32. > :03:35.one in Fareham where a new head and her team have brought about some
:03:35. > :03:45.big changes and achieved a 63% pass rate, a huge increase on what it
:03:45. > :03:52.
:03:52. > :03:59.was a few years ago. All of you are capable of getting a
:03:59. > :04:03.staff. The head teacher and her team have been leading a education
:04:03. > :04:07.revolution. When she arrived at the school in Fareham, she said the
:04:07. > :04:10.school and's performance was stagnating and now it is soaring.
:04:11. > :04:15.you look at what is happening in the classroom and teaching and we'd
:04:15. > :04:19.have done a lot of work with Hampshire. We have changed the way
:04:19. > :04:24.we are tracking students. We personalise the curriculum. As a
:04:24. > :04:31.result, we put together a system of interventions, from opening the
:04:31. > :04:38.school on Saturdays to one-to-one tuition. When the head teacher took
:04:38. > :04:44.charge a just a few pupils were getting good marks. Now it is 63%.
:04:44. > :04:48.We get pushed more. We get pushed to develop our ideas. It helps us a
:04:48. > :04:51.lot. There is a lot less tolerance of bad behaviour and it is what
:04:51. > :04:55.really well. After a big improvement over the past year,
:04:55. > :04:57.everyone is working hard for even better results this summer.
:04:57. > :05:00.So, as Nadine and her team in Fareham have shown, rapid
:05:00. > :05:05.improvements are possible. And that's something the head here at
:05:06. > :05:09.St Aldhelm's will be hoping to replicate.
:05:09. > :05:12.A court has heard how a man killed his wife after he felt under
:05:12. > :05:15.pressure from renovating a house in West Sussex. William Allen, who's
:05:15. > :05:18.67, stabbed his wife Linda to death while she slept at their rented
:05:18. > :05:20.home in West Chiltington. He pleaded guilty today to
:05:20. > :05:28.manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility and he'll
:05:28. > :05:33.be held at a secure mental health unit.
:05:33. > :05:38.William Allen and his wife were described in court as a close and a
:05:38. > :05:41.devoted couple. In June last year he killed her at the home they were
:05:41. > :05:44.renting. William Allen was suffering from and continues to
:05:44. > :05:49.have severe mental illness. What appears to have triggered the
:05:49. > :05:52.attack on his wife is the pressure of building work on my house near
:05:53. > :05:56.by they were going to move into. William Allen had tried to manage
:05:56. > :05:59.the project himself but felt he could not cope. When William Allen
:05:59. > :06:03.was interviewed by police about what happened he said he felt the
:06:03. > :06:07.pressure from the delays and the problems with the renovations. That
:06:07. > :06:12.pressure built up and when he woke in the night, he decided to kill
:06:12. > :06:16.his wife and himself. He beat and stabbed to Linda while she slept
:06:16. > :06:20.and then winded himself. A few hours later he called the police to
:06:20. > :06:23.tell them what he had done. It is implausible to think that over a
:06:23. > :06:29.building project and his concern over the management of that project
:06:29. > :06:34.that this tragic event has resulted. But that appears to be the case. As
:06:34. > :06:39.the court has heard this morning, at the time Mr Allen was suffering
:06:39. > :06:43.from a depressive illness with psychotic episodes as well. Linda's
:06:43. > :06:48.brother was in court to hear William Allen at deny murder but
:06:48. > :06:51.admits manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
:06:51. > :06:55.be at it reassured about the fact that she did not suffer. She was
:06:55. > :07:01.sleeping and then passed away. That is the way he would have wanted it
:07:01. > :07:07.as well as myself. She was very, very happy for 42 years of marriage
:07:07. > :07:13.and I cannot take that away from him. He made a very happy. At -- I
:07:13. > :07:16.am just so sad it has ended that this. There is a hospital order on
:07:17. > :07:20.William Allen as well as a restriction order which means the
:07:20. > :07:23.Ministry of Justice will determine his release date at rather than at
:07:23. > :07:25.the hospital. A court's heard a police tape
:07:25. > :07:32.recording in which the former Portsmouth Manager, Harry Redknapp,
:07:32. > :07:34.said he was totally disorganised and couldn't fiddle his taxes.
:07:34. > :07:37.Redknapp, who's on trial for tax evasion with the club's former
:07:37. > :07:40.Chairman Milan Mandarich, also told officers that an accountant ran his
:07:40. > :07:46.life. Redknapp insisted he wrote like a two-year-old and couldn't
:07:46. > :07:49.spell. Both men deny the charges. First Capital Connect, Southern and
:07:49. > :07:54.First Great Western trains have all come near the bottom of a national
:07:54. > :07:57.list for passenger satisfaction. The news comes as South West Trains
:07:57. > :08:02.and Network Rail announce a joint plan to tackle problems, including
:08:02. > :08:10.cable theft and an increase in the number of suicides. Our transport
:08:10. > :08:13.correspondent Paul Clifton is here to explain.
:08:13. > :08:16.We're used to seeing First Capital Connect on the naughty step as one
:08:16. > :08:19.of the poorest performing train operators. Today it has been joined
:08:19. > :08:24.by First Great Western and by Southern in the bottom five train
:08:24. > :08:27.operators in the country. Though, to be fair, they are only a whisker
:08:27. > :08:30.below the national average. Today's independent survey of tens of
:08:30. > :08:37.thousands of passengers found that most people - 57% - think their
:08:37. > :08:46.tickets are poorer value for money now than they were six months ago.
:08:46. > :08:50.The advice from the passenger watchdog is simple. Back to basics.
:08:50. > :08:53.Focus on performance. Focus on getting the trains on time. Focus
:08:53. > :09:00.on telling people what is happening when things go wrong. Those are the
:09:00. > :09:03.key factors driving passenger satisfaction and disadvantage -- so
:09:03. > :09:05.this at its -- dissatisfaction. Some delays are outside the
:09:05. > :09:08.industry's control. This happened at Brockenhurst today, a lady drove
:09:08. > :09:11.onto the railway line, apparently mistaking it for the entrance to a
:09:11. > :09:15.car park. It took two hours to remove the vehicle, disrupting
:09:15. > :09:19.thousands of passengers. South West Trains has seen a sharp drop in
:09:19. > :09:24.performance. That is partly due to a doubling in the number of
:09:24. > :09:28.suicides on the tracks. In the last year there were 44. And there has
:09:28. > :09:31.been a five-fold increase in the number of thefts of signal cable.
:09:31. > :09:40.Today the train company and Network Rail announced a joint plan to
:09:40. > :09:44.tackle their problems. The biggest single change we have seen is the
:09:44. > :09:48.cable theft damage in the last year. That is an increase from the year
:09:48. > :09:52.before. We have to work hard to improve the performance of the
:09:52. > :09:53.trains and track just to standstill where we have these other things
:09:53. > :09:57.happening. But performance has been getting
:09:57. > :10:00.better. A few years ago one train in four arrived late. Now there's a
:10:00. > :10:02.remedial action plan because one train in ten is late. And that's
:10:02. > :10:08.partly because of the passenger survey. No train operator can
:10:08. > :10:18.afford to be seen on the naughty step at the bottom of the table.
:10:18. > :10:19.
:10:19. > :10:21.Thank you very much. Still to come in this evening's

:10:24. > :10:27.inspired to write as she lives at the home of one of our great
:10:27. > :10:30.novelists. An attempt by Liverpool to compete
:10:30. > :10:32.against Southampton for cruise ship turnaround visits have been dealt a
:10:32. > :10:36.blow by the government. Liverpool's cruise terminal was built with �20
:10:36. > :10:39.million of public money. They offered to repay �5 million in
:10:39. > :10:43.return for being able to compete with private ports. But the
:10:43. > :10:46.shipping minister, Mike Penning, says that's not enough.
:10:46. > :10:50.The Labour Party are to return to Brighton for their party conference
:10:50. > :10:53.next year. Brighton & Hove Council say they expect the event to inject
:10:53. > :11:01.�20 million into the local economy and bring more than 8,000 delegates
:11:01. > :11:04.to the city. The party last held its conference in Brighton in 2009.
:11:04. > :11:07.Scores of vans have brought the centre of Hove to a standstill as
:11:07. > :11:11.traders staged a protest outside the town hall over rises in parking
:11:11. > :11:16.charges. The Green-run city council wants to increase permits and on-
:11:16. > :11:26.street parking charges as it tries to balance the books. But traders

:12:01. > :12:06.listening to the traders. They have tried to bargain with a sum we are
:12:06. > :12:09.not here to be bargained with. Shopkeepers are always worried that
:12:09. > :12:13.a rise in on-street parking charges will make out of town retail parks

:20:15. > :20:22.February 9. You cannot knock the enthusiasm of the girls and the
:20:22. > :20:26.programme. The four goals we're working with are very enthusiastic.
:20:26. > :20:36.They're trying to soak up all the information and knowledge that they
:20:36. > :20:38.
:20:38. > :20:41.can. If tomorrow, we're with the Time for another in our series of
:20:41. > :20:43.Living the Dream and this week, we meet an all-American girl whose
:20:43. > :20:46.passion for English literature has brought her from Arkansas to
:20:46. > :20:48.Casterbridge. PhD student Jacqueline Dillon
:20:48. > :20:51.visited Thomas Hardy's house because she's writing a thesis
:20:51. > :20:55.about his work. She went as a tourist, but ended up
:20:55. > :21:05.moving in. Sarah Farmer left the Madding Crowd far behind and headed

:21:10. > :21:18.Among the few features of agricultural England which retain
:21:18. > :21:27.an Appearance little modified by the lap of centuries, the expansive
:21:27. > :21:33.downs which fill a substantial area of each county. Thomas Hardy lived
:21:33. > :21:43.here in Dorset and of course, he it was known as the famous author. But
:21:43. > :21:46.
:21:46. > :21:54.he was originally an architect. He resigned this date. Jacqueline only
:21:54. > :22:00.came to study English literature, but ended up living here. I was
:22:00. > :22:04.living in London before and trying to write a thesis, but felt
:22:04. > :22:14.according to come here. I felt it was not right to be writing it in
:22:14. > :22:15.
:22:15. > :22:24.London. I had to be here! It was amazing. I was so surprised to be
:22:24. > :22:29.offered Thomas Hardy's housed by the National Trust. When I first
:22:29. > :22:36.moved and I could not bring myself to even read his books because I
:22:36. > :22:44.was so embarrassed. But I now have the opposite feeling. This was his
:22:44. > :22:51.first study, which would later become his bedroom. He wrote his
:22:51. > :22:56.favourite novel in this room. The hustle and bustle of the visitors
:22:56. > :23:00.has dye it down, I will be able to write in peace and quiet and feel
:23:00. > :23:08.an evocative sense of everything that has gone on before. I have
:23:08. > :23:17.also slept in this room, like Thomas Hardy. Did you sleep in his
:23:17. > :23:25.bed? A I slept in the same place. Do you feel the spirit of Thomas
:23:25. > :23:30.Hardy here? At I do. A lot of people say that. And I do not feel
:23:30. > :23:34.any sort of negative energy. I just have a reverence for everything
:23:34. > :23:44.that has happened here. You can just look out there and imagine
:23:44. > :23:48.
:23:49. > :23:56.Thomas Hardy in the garden. What is a light at night? It creaks and
:23:56. > :24:01.groans! I thing that is the house talking. But you're getting the
:24:01. > :24:07.same angles and views and things of things that he would have seen. You
:24:07. > :24:13.get the same sense of nature. I get the sense that I am a visitor, but
:24:13. > :24:22.I am able to see the world through his IEA's. After the thesis, I am
:24:22. > :24:26.going to stick around for a good while longer. Jacqueline, a very
:24:26. > :24:28.lucky girl to live there. Next week, we meet an artist who is
:24:28. > :24:31.definitely going places. Clementine Nuttal works from a
:24:31. > :24:34.studio at home. She has developing a reputation as one of our finest
:24:34. > :24:37.up and coming stone sculptors. She took me to see her latest piece,
:24:37. > :24:47.which was commissioned and is on show at St George's Chapel at
:24:47. > :24:49.
:24:49. > :24:59.Windsor. Quite something. I look forward to that. On to the weather
:24:59. > :25:00.
:25:00. > :25:03.Yes, it was the sunny day, but there were showers as well.
:25:03. > :25:05.It was a sunshine and shower day. Bob Kent captured the wet apron in
:25:06. > :25:08.the sunny spells at Shoreham Airport. Rob Forrester-Addie took
:25:08. > :25:11.this photo of the Ringwood and Fordingbridge Footpath Society
:25:11. > :25:14.braving the showers to walk from Abbots Well to Ogdens. And John
:25:14. > :25:24.Moore took this photo of mother and son rugged up in Warfield in
:25:24. > :25:25.
:25:25. > :25:34.It will be a chilly night to come. These horses will need the robes on
:25:34. > :25:44.tonight. Tonight, there will be a few showers of first. The sky will
:25:44. > :25:50.clear, so there you can do your star spotting, Sally. Temperatures
:25:50. > :25:55.in our towns and cities overnight down to two or three degrees
:25:55. > :26:00.Celsius, freezing in the countryside. Sunny spells initially
:26:00. > :26:05.tomorrow Cork, but then the showers get going and the cloud increases
:26:05. > :26:12.from the West as the afternoon progresses. Temperatures struggling
:26:12. > :26:16.to rise above six or seven degrees Celsius. Tomorrow night, the
:26:16. > :26:20.showers will fade away and there will be a few clear spells, of
:26:20. > :26:26.which mean temperatures will plunge even further in the countryside,
:26:26. > :26:33.down to freezing in certain sports. Only a couple of degrees war mark
:26:33. > :26:39.in the cities. Freezing fog it is a possibility on the start on
:26:39. > :26:48.Saturday. Sunday is a decent day, and despite it being called. There
:26:48. > :26:54.is a lot of sunshine on offer. As you see, this rain band is coming
:26:54. > :26:58.in on Sunday, pushing across the country from the West. There is a
:26:58. > :27:04.lot of uncertainty to this weather front as to whether it will
:27:04. > :27:14.actually produce snow and to it will affect most. The weather front
:27:14. > :27:21.lasts into Monday, so a one paid day for many of us. So, showers
