:00:14. > :00:18.who terrorised his ex-girlfriend and her family.
:00:18. > :00:21.Stalking destroys lives and we need to take it seriously.
:00:21. > :00:25.Safety fears. Ferries forced to move out of Weymouth after cracks
:00:25. > :00:28.are found in the harbour wall. The nine-year-old boy who died from
:00:28. > :00:35.a reaction to nuts. His mother campaigns for more awareness about
:00:35. > :00:40.allergies. I do not want any parent to go
:00:40. > :00:44.through that because it is horrible. It never leaves you. Ice will

:00:59. > :01:04.reveal even more about stone-age He has been described as a
:01:04. > :01:08."narcissistic psychopath". Al Amin Dallah from Brighton has been found
:01:08. > :01:10.guilty of arson and harassing his ex-girlfriend. The jury at Lewes
:01:10. > :01:15.Crown Court heard how the 42-year- old targeted his former
:01:15. > :01:18.girlfriend's parents, setting fire to their home. Eventually armed
:01:18. > :01:22.police arrested him as he tried to reach his former partner in
:01:22. > :01:31.hospital by impersonating a doctor. Mark Sanders has been following the
:01:31. > :01:39.case and is live outside court tonight. Mark?
:01:39. > :01:42.What started as a romance ended what lies been put in danger. Al
:01:42. > :01:48.Amin Dallah stopped his ex- girlfriend and set fire to work her
:01:48. > :01:52.mother's home. This is a chilling case of a man out of control.
:01:52. > :01:58.This is Al Amin Dallah stalking his ex-girlfriend in the hospital where
:01:58. > :02:04.she worked. He is masquerading as a doctor. He is later arrested on a
:02:04. > :02:08.ward by armed police. They found weapons in his car.
:02:08. > :02:13.Alison Hewitt, a trainee doctor, had been living with him in
:02:13. > :02:18.Brighton. When she broke off the relationship in 20th November 10 he
:02:18. > :02:22.started a campaign of harassment against her and her family.
:02:22. > :02:26.A private investigator has her under 24 hour surveillance and
:02:26. > :02:30.decent anonymous and malicious letters to her employers and her
:02:30. > :02:37.mother's neighbours. I want to thank the police to have
:02:37. > :02:42.kept my family and myself alive. Stalking destroys lives and we need
:02:42. > :02:52.to take it seriously. If it is not me, it will be somebody else
:02:52. > :02:59.tomorrow. Maybe even yourself. The man, seen here in his native
:02:59. > :03:08.Canada, was arrested last year but while he was on bail he became more
:03:08. > :03:13.sinister. He bought weapons like this crossbow and a pistol. He had
:03:13. > :03:16.a banner specially adapted the Soviet, the police believe, he
:03:17. > :03:21.could hold someone prisoner after capturing them.
:03:21. > :03:27.We think he would have gone on to kidnap and possibly murder Alison
:03:27. > :03:32.and perhaps her parents as well. , while Frene Al Amin Dallah tried
:03:32. > :03:37.to burn down the family home in this Buckinghamshire village. He
:03:37. > :03:44.also started a fire at a police station. Police feared he would
:03:44. > :03:50.hunt down Alison's parents while they were on holiday here. They
:03:50. > :03:56.were airlifted to the mainland and put in a safe house. He made his
:03:56. > :04:01.way to the hospital in Haywards Heath where Alison was to find her.
:04:01. > :04:04.It was a mercy, the trial heard, but he was arrested by armed police
:04:04. > :04:14.before he could commit more serious crimes.
:04:14. > :04:18.It has been a horror film. A horror movie. Very difficult. I had to
:04:18. > :04:24.leave court this morning because it is still something I find too
:04:24. > :04:30.painful. I ask that those currently involved
:04:30. > :04:36.in debating stalking and harassment laws look at this case. It is yet
:04:36. > :04:41.another example of how important it is that harassment laws are updated.
:04:41. > :04:49.Now convicted, Al Amin Dallah, described as a narcissistic
:04:49. > :04:55.psychopath can no longer terrorise the woman he claimed to have loved.
:04:55. > :05:00.He will be sentenced care in April. He faces a significant jail term.
:05:00. > :05:04.The family thanked the police and the prosecutor. As far Alison
:05:04. > :05:07.herself come after the case ended she said she was just relieved it
:05:07. > :05:10.was all over. Let us talk to Tracey Morgan who
:05:10. > :05:16.has been a victim of stalking and is now a campaigner for greater
:05:16. > :05:21.protection. You heard Alison Hewitt say that
:05:21. > :05:28.stalking should be taken more seriously. In Europe pinion, how
:05:28. > :05:33.serious is it been taken? Sadly, it is down to look as to
:05:33. > :05:36.what response victims get from the different agencies involved.
:05:36. > :05:41.What is our attitude to people being stopped?
:05:41. > :05:47.There are two issues here. One is about tightening up the law and the
:05:47. > :05:54.other is about changing attitudes. It is still very much, you know,
:05:54. > :06:00.pale light hearted issue with some people. Even last week I saw a
:06:00. > :06:04.comment in a paper about our com -- are complain first law reform
:06:04. > :06:09.saying that we are criminalising a normal part of breaking up. To me,
:06:09. > :06:14.that says it all. We have to look at it as murder prevention, as
:06:14. > :06:18.shown by this horrific case. A recent report concluded there was
:06:18. > :06:25.an urgent need for an offence of stalking which many people might
:06:25. > :06:30.think that there was already an offence. There is not, is there?
:06:30. > :06:34.An act was brought in in 1997 to deal with stalking and harassment
:06:34. > :06:44.cases but it is such a broader law but the turn stalking is not in
:06:44. > :06:45.
:06:45. > :06:50.there. It has captured much more minor crime, trivialised a lot a
:06:50. > :06:57.minor cases of harassment. Serious cases like my own and this case
:06:57. > :07:01.would have been considered under a comparison of boundary disputes.
:07:01. > :07:04.Thank you very much for talking to us this evening.
:07:04. > :07:06.Hampshire police authority has agreed to buy a building in
:07:06. > :07:09.Winchester for a new police headquarters. The authority spent
:07:09. > :07:13.�9 million on a new headquarters site in Chandler's Ford four years
:07:13. > :07:15.ago but it has never been used. Now just part of that site will be
:07:15. > :07:19.developed and the rest sold, along with the existing headquarters site
:07:19. > :07:22.in West Hill Winchester. The money will help pay for the new building.
:07:22. > :07:25.Condor Ferries is moving all its sailings from Weymouth to Poole
:07:25. > :07:28.because of safety concerns about the port. The company, which sails
:07:28. > :07:33.to the Channel Islands, says there are problems with the structural
:07:33. > :07:36.integrity of the ferry pier. So to tell us more here is our transport
:07:36. > :07:45.correspondent Paul Clifton. What does this mean for the business and
:07:45. > :07:50.the passengers? It will be very disruptive. Condor
:07:50. > :07:57.Ferries is contacting everybody but on sailings from Weymouth to the
:07:57. > :08:04.Channel Islands and telling them to head to Poole instead. Far Condor
:08:04. > :08:10.Ferries, this is a huge headache. It stores and refuelling depots are
:08:10. > :08:16.in Weymouth. Most of its employees live in that area. Suddenly the pot
:08:16. > :08:22.is effectively closed. Tell us more about the problem.
:08:22. > :08:27.It is serious. It is about the structural integrity of the ferry
:08:27. > :08:31.berth. The engineers are not sure report is safe. Divers inspected
:08:31. > :08:36.the harbour wall and found cracks beneath the waterline where the
:08:36. > :08:40.vessel walls up. The surface has also dropped and cracks have
:08:40. > :08:45.appeared there as well. There will be one more sailing on Friday and
:08:45. > :08:50.then it will be closed. It could be close for weeks and months and with
:08:50. > :08:55.their Olympic sailing events happening close by, this is urgent
:08:55. > :09:00.business. On the other hand, offer Poole along the close -- for Poole
:09:00. > :09:03.along the coast, this is business for a quiet support.
:09:03. > :09:06.A Hampshire dairy farmer's decision to wear a red hat and bulky
:09:06. > :09:08.clothing as he approached his bull may have led to his death, an
:09:08. > :09:11.inquest her today. 58-year-old Ian Rook from Cranfield near
:09:11. > :09:14.Petersfield died after being charged at by the animal in
:09:14. > :09:21.November 2010. A jury decided Mr Rook died as the result of an
:09:21. > :09:26.accident. Rachel Canter has the details.
:09:26. > :09:32.Ian Rook was born on his farm and had become a respected dairy farmer.
:09:32. > :09:38.He spoke to this farmer -- used by to this programme on several
:09:38. > :09:45.occasions. Very nice. Very genuine. A country
:09:45. > :09:50.person. A spade was a spate. A good farmer. He did well at ploughing
:09:50. > :09:55.matches. He approach to the bowl because it
:09:55. > :10:00.was snorting loudly. He tried to calm it but he was tossed in the at
:10:00. > :10:05.and the bold charged at home. Onlookers do sticks to try to make
:10:05. > :10:10.it stopped. He died in hospital from severe chest injuries
:10:10. > :10:14.afterwards. A court decided to bet his death was an accident.
:10:14. > :10:19.The court heard how he was an experienced farmer who had kept
:10:19. > :10:24.balls for many years. His wife said he was sometimes scratch it behind
:10:24. > :10:28.the ears to calm it down. On this day he was wearing a lot of heavy
:10:29. > :10:33.clothing and a red fleece hat because of the cold. She said she
:10:33. > :10:37.felt the ball simply did not recognise him.
:10:37. > :10:44.Ian Rook was very well known throughout the Hampshire farming
:10:44. > :10:47.community and will be sorely missed. A health and safety investigation
:10:47. > :10:50.found that he had taken sensible safety measures to minimise the
:10:50. > :11:00.risks. Anti-cuts protesters gathered
:11:00. > :11:03.
:11:03. > :11:05.outside Southampton City Council this afternoon as the local
:11:05. > :11:08.authority met to set its budget. During the meeting councillors
:11:08. > :11:10.agreed that council tax would be frozen. The authority says it has a
:11:10. > :11:18.�40 million shortfall but campaigners argue the council
:11:19. > :11:22.should use its own savings to avoid making cuts.
:11:22. > :11:27.Across the South lots of local people are being asked to take on
:11:27. > :11:36.roles that were previously taken on by the councils. How realistic is
:11:36. > :11:41.it to Ascot on pay people to fill the gap? We have been to visit a
:11:41. > :11:46.community centre in Crawley. Mention the big society here and
:11:46. > :11:50.you will get short shrift. This toddler group has set up by local

:12:12. > :12:17.disappearing because of council cuts, the people behind the toddler
:12:17. > :12:21.group have had to set -- have had to step a in.
:12:21. > :12:26.They show at the local MP around today but they are concerned that
:12:26. > :12:31.in the past local officials have just had a wall words and no
:12:31. > :12:36.actions. It is only now we have the cameras here that local politicians
:12:36. > :12:41.are taking us seriously. Communities know best what they
:12:41. > :12:44.need. Not everyone is convinced people
:12:44. > :12:52.can be left entirely to their own devices.
:12:52. > :12:56.The state cannot do everything. It does not always do everything well.
:12:56. > :13:01.It is important that people get in for 10 per just on their own
:13:01. > :13:06.initiative. When you take �4 million out of a
:13:06. > :13:11.service, it is not realistic to expect citizens to make a bad shot
