:00:03. > :00:06.Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme.
:00:06. > :00:11.A major trauma centre in Southampton to treat the most
:00:11. > :00:14.seriously ill, but what will be the impact on other hospitals?
:00:14. > :00:23.Anger and humiliation - disabled sailor Geoff Holt tells us how he
:00:23. > :00:28.became a victim of discrimination. I just never in my life have been
:00:28. > :00:31.so violated, I felt dehumanised as a human being. Remembering the
:00:31. > :00:38.Falklands invasion and the huge task force that set sail from
:00:38. > :00:45.Portsmouth. I hope it never happens again, but that we would still be
:00:45. > :00:55.able to be that prepared. And find out later why I'm here in
:00:55. > :00:56.
:00:56. > :00:59.A new way of treating patients involved in the most serious, life
:00:59. > :01:02.and death emergencies is being introduced across the South today.
:01:02. > :01:06.Instead of being taken to their nearest hospital, patients will be
:01:06. > :01:08.taken to major trauma centres instead. Here in the South, these
:01:08. > :01:11.will be located at the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford, St
:01:11. > :01:20.George's in London, Southampton General Hospital and the Royal
:01:20. > :01:22.Trauma units at local hospitals, for example Poole General in Dorset,
:01:22. > :01:24.or St Richard's Hospital in Chichester will treat less serious
:01:24. > :01:32.injuries and stabilise some patients before they're transferred
:01:32. > :01:42.Our Health Correspondent David Fenton is at Southampton General
:01:42. > :01:43.
:01:43. > :01:48.Hospital. Killyvalley. As a major trauma centre, this emergency
:01:48. > :01:53.department is going to be seeing about 100,000 cases every year, but
:01:53. > :01:58.it is also now going to be seeing the most serious, life-threatening
:01:58. > :02:04.cases, from a road accident, from acts of violence, and also from
:02:04. > :02:07.balls, across the south of England. The last time Ricky was here, he
:02:07. > :02:13.was in a coma for four weeks. He had severed the main artery from
:02:13. > :02:18.his brain in a motorbike crash. was a massive head injury, that was
:02:18. > :02:23.the main injury, I had a few other injuries, but the main one was a
:02:24. > :02:29.broken back in three places, compound fracture in my leg, broken
:02:29. > :02:33.pelvis, nose, ruptured spleen. Apart from that, I was OK! But it
:02:33. > :02:40.was no joke at the time. Ricky survived because he was seen
:02:40. > :02:42.quickly by a team of brain injury specialists. The important thing is
:02:42. > :02:46.patient get to a centre that can provide all the care that they need,
:02:46. > :02:50.as fast as possible to stop historically, patient have gone to
:02:50. > :02:54.their local hospital, where there injury to exceed the capabilities
:02:54. > :02:57.of those hospitals. The hospital has to recognise that and then
:02:57. > :03:02.resuscitate the patient and then moved into a centre like
:03:02. > :03:07.Southampton. From today, most cases of life and death injury in the
:03:07. > :03:12.south will come here, and it is hoped, more will survive. Basically,
:03:12. > :03:17.what has been shown his Desire time critical decisions, so we need our
:03:17. > :03:20.radiological colleagues to do the scans, all in one place at one time.
:03:20. > :03:24.All those time critical interventions can be made for the
:03:24. > :03:29.patient's benefit. They would double the number of resuscitation
:03:29. > :03:33.bed can take on more nurses, a consultant and surgeons, and their
:03:33. > :03:37.aim will be more patient flown in by air ambulance, which is paid for
:03:37. > :03:42.by charity. At it is good and bad about it means the government
:03:42. > :03:47.cannot top sliced the funding, but it is the ultimate in patient
:03:47. > :03:53.choice. If the patient doesn't want it, they will not fund it. But they
:03:53. > :03:57.are always popular charities. new trauma centre is now up and
:03:57. > :04:02.running. But it will take some patients away from other hospitals,
:04:02. > :04:05.and not everyone is happy about that. Just talking about the air
:04:05. > :04:12.ambulance, I understand it has landed there at Southampton while
:04:12. > :04:16.we have been on air? It has, about five minutes ago, we saw the air
:04:16. > :04:20.ambulance coming in, landing on the new helipad, which they have just
:04:20. > :04:25.built as part of this major trauma centre, to get patients here
:04:25. > :04:32.quickly. A patient, a 15-year-old man was brought in here after a
:04:32. > :04:35.very strong road accident -- a 15- year-old man. I have to say, they
:04:36. > :04:41.might have been complaints about this, particularly about its effect
:04:41. > :04:46.on other hospitals, notably Queen Alexandra in Cosham, where they are
:04:46. > :04:49.likely to treat fewer serious patients as a result. Those
:04:49. > :04:53.complaints have come from politicians in the area, from all
:04:53. > :04:57.of the main political parties, who have been making this point today.
:04:57. > :05:03.I spoke to Councillor Peter Edgar today. People are now worried that
:05:03. > :05:10.there is going to be a consultation on A&E in Southampton General, that
:05:10. > :05:14.they will have to come at long distances, Chichester, Gosport,
:05:14. > :05:17.Southsea, all the way to Southampton, when an ambulance
:05:17. > :05:21.driver or paramedic makes a decision that they may have a head
:05:21. > :05:27.injury, and people are very worried that this could lead to a run-down
:05:28. > :05:31.of in -- of the super hospital. Despite those complaints, I think
:05:31. > :05:35.the feeling here is that there will be longer journeys for patient,
:05:35. > :05:39.there may be fewer patients for of hospitals, but the patients who do
:05:39. > :05:42.come here have a much better chance of survival.
:05:42. > :05:45.The disabled yachtsman Geoff Holt has been speaking of his anger and
:05:45. > :05:48.humiliation after being prevented from boarding a train on the Isle
:05:48. > :05:51.of Wight. Geoff, who's been in a wheelchair since a swimming
:05:51. > :05:54.accident, says he was eventually allowed to board - but not before
:05:54. > :06:01.being injured by the metal ramp used to help disabled travellers
:06:01. > :06:07.onto the train. South West Trains and British Transport Police have
:06:07. > :06:10.both launched investigations. Bob Everett reports.
:06:10. > :06:13.Geoff Holt won the respect of people across the country by
:06:13. > :06:19.sailing single-handed around Britain, despite his disability. He
:06:19. > :06:23.followed that by sailing across the Atlantic and becoming a disability
:06:23. > :06:27.sports ambassador. Ocean's haven't stopped him, but he says at the
:06:27. > :06:34.behaviour of a guard on board the train which runs along Ryde Pier
:06:34. > :06:38.almost did. He said, not on the train, I said I had a right to, he
:06:38. > :06:44.very begrudgingly got the ramp at, which is only a small device anyway,
:06:44. > :06:48.and threw it out the train door. It bounced off the platform, hit my
:06:49. > :06:53.leg, I can't feed it, because I am disabled, but that makes it even
:06:53. > :06:58.worse, some times. Because you are paralysed Klyuka to be a little
:06:58. > :07:03.stock British Transport Police are investigating. The train operator
:07:04. > :07:07.issued a statement, saying they were horrified by the events he
:07:07. > :07:17.described a man made clear that electric wheelchairs are welcome.
:07:17. > :07:26.
:07:26. > :07:31.The final insult was when he said, quite loudly, that I was going to
:07:31. > :07:37.delay the train and everybody on it. When I got to the other end. I
:07:37. > :07:43.never in my life have been so violated, I felt dehumanised as a
:07:43. > :07:48.human being. There were docks on the train, filthy dogs, that had
:07:48. > :07:52.been on a walk, and they were allowed on, but I wasn't, because
:07:52. > :07:56.of who I am, because I do so in journalism, because I write for
:07:56. > :08:00.magazines, I have made a career for myself, I'm prepared to speak out.
:08:00. > :08:03.I am not prepared to accept discrimination at any level against
:08:03. > :08:06.any body. Tributes have been paid to the
:08:06. > :08:10.runner who died after collapsing at the finishing line of the Reading
:08:10. > :08:14.half marathon yesterday. Ged Clarke was 39 and a keen athlete who'd
:08:14. > :08:18.been running a Twitter campaign to get people exercising. Joe Campbell
:08:18. > :08:21.reports. It began like so many previous
:08:22. > :08:27.races - half sporting event, half party. But this half marathon was
:08:28. > :08:30.to end in tragedy for runner. Ged Clarke. The father of two worked
:08:31. > :08:34.for a civil engineering firm in Reading, but away from the office
:08:34. > :08:37.was a keen runner an also coached teenage son Jake's football team.
:08:37. > :08:40.While the hot weather took it out of some competitors, though who
:08:40. > :08:48.knew Ged through his running never doubted his ability to take on the
:08:48. > :08:52.21km course round the town. He had been training for the half marathon,
:08:52. > :08:57.and he had also been training for the triathlon, which he was doing
:08:57. > :09:01.as part of Sport Relief just a week or so ago. He had put in all the
:09:01. > :09:05.right training. It is just an absolute tragedy that a man so
:09:05. > :09:10.young, so fit, he was nervous about doing the run, not because he
:09:10. > :09:13.wasn't -- was afraid, but because he wanted to finish the race and
:09:13. > :09:16.get back home. The 39-year-old's death was felt far beyond those
:09:16. > :09:19.taking part. His wife Estelle and children were taking consolation
:09:19. > :09:27.today from messages on twitter which he'd used to promote the idea
:09:27. > :09:30.of a midday run through his 12 o'clock club for desk bound workers.
:09:30. > :09:36.Janine, before heading off herself this lunchtime, was planning to
:09:36. > :09:40.hold a minutes silence in his memory. Everybody is in shock, they
:09:40. > :09:44.cannot believe that this big- hearted man has gone so quickly.
:09:44. > :09:47.One minute there, and ins, he has got. And among other midday runners,
:09:48. > :09:57.a sadness that one who'd done so much to promote this sport here
:09:57. > :10:00.would no longer be there to offer words of encouragement.
:10:00. > :10:03.A robber who dressed as Elvis Presley and wore other disguises as
:10:03. > :10:05.he held up bookmakers across the south, has been sent to prison for
:10:05. > :10:08.life. 53-year-old Martin Reilly started his series of raids in
:10:08. > :10:11.Sussex and was always armed with an imitation handgun or knife. Today
:10:11. > :10:14.it emerged Reilly committed the offences while out on licence from
:10:14. > :10:19.a previous life sentence following similar armed robberies in the
:10:19. > :10:22.1990s. Sean Killick reports. This is how Martin Reilly looked
:10:22. > :10:27.last October, but this was him in disguise, three months earlier,
:10:27. > :10:32.when he tried to rob a bookmaker's in Hove. He looked up the lone male
:10:32. > :10:37.member of staff, but fled empty- handed. Four days later, dressed
:10:37. > :10:42.like Gulbis as he rubbed Ladbrokes in Brighton. -- like Elvis. The
:10:42. > :10:47.next club, he adopted a different disguise as he rode at Ladbrokes in
:10:47. > :10:54.working. Three weeks later, he left his face uncovered at Ladbrokes in
:10:54. > :10:57.Portsmouth. In another rave, security videos and covered his
:10:57. > :11:01.face. The court was told that all the betting staff had suffered from
:11:01. > :11:05.mental anguish and that several were still suffering even now.
:11:05. > :11:09.Statement from the victims were read to the court, who reported
:11:09. > :11:15.problems with sleeping, self- confident, and several said they
:11:15. > :11:19.were too scared to be on their own, either at work or at home. His
:11:19. > :11:23.three-month series average to come across Sussex, Hampshire, Essex,
:11:23. > :11:28.Bedfordshire and London. The he has clearly employed a number of
:11:28. > :11:33.disguises come he was trying to hide his identity. Fortunately for
:11:33. > :11:38.us, Ladbrokes themselves have some very good CCTV, and were able to
:11:38. > :11:42.identify him at a very early stage, unfortunately, it took so well to
:11:42. > :11:46.catch him but that was more to do with his transient nature.
:11:46. > :11:52.judge said he was going to have to serve 12 years before being
:11:52. > :11:55.eligible for parole. Will people were injured after two
:11:55. > :12:00.buses collided in Southampton. Hampshire police said no one was
:12:00. > :12:09.seriously hurt after the single- decker vehicles crashed -- 12
:12:09. > :12:12.people were injured. Still to come in this evening's
:12:12. > :12:16.South Today: Alexis Green runs the race of her life inside the Olympic
:12:16. > :12:24.stadium. It is so amazing coming into the stadium. There are over
:12:24. > :12:26.20,000 people here, it is The 30th anniversary of the
:12:26. > :12:29.Argentina invasion of the Falkland Islands is being remembered across
:12:29. > :12:36.the South today, by the thousands of military personnel and civilians
:12:36. > :12:42.who played a part in the re-capture of the islands. Steve Humphrey is
:12:42. > :12:45.in Portsmouth, from where many ships in the Task Force set sail.
:12:45. > :12:47.Yes, the Argentinean invasion sparked off some frenetic activity
:12:47. > :12:55.here in Portsmouth and in Southampton to prepare the Task
:12:55. > :12:59.Force for action in the South Atlantic. A few days later on April
:12:59. > :13:05.5th 1982 - thousands of people were here to wave goodbye to the ships
:13:05. > :13:08.heading to the Falklands - and to wish them good luck. It's a
:13:08. > :13:18.conflict that still arouses strong feelings. Today, I've been talking
:13:18. > :13:18.
:13:18. > :13:22.to people in Gosport. I hope it never happens again but we could
:13:22. > :13:28.still be banned prepared. From what we read about, possibly we would
:13:28. > :13:34.not be able to do it again. We were believing that we have done a good
:13:34. > :13:38.job. They are very patriotic air. They are coming down from the other
:13:38. > :13:44.quite and down to the Falklands and everybody turned up to see them
:13:44. > :13:48.depart and to come back. Well, altogether some 20,000 men were
:13:48. > :13:58.sent to the South Atlantic to re- capture the islands. The war lasted
:13:58. > :13:58.
:13:58. > :14:03.a total of 74 days. There was little a small detachment of
:14:03. > :14:09.marines could do to resist Argentina's invasion on April
:14:09. > :14:13.Second, 1982. But in Britain, there was a swift response.
:14:13. > :14:19.government has decided a task force will set sail as soon as all
:14:19. > :14:24.preparations are complete. -- complete. They were leading a task
:14:24. > :14:30.force out of Portsmouth Harbour. As luck would have it, 20 ships were
:14:30. > :14:38.ready in the Atlantic on exercises, commanded by this Rea at will, now
:14:38. > :14:45.living in Chichester. -- Admiral. We had 48 hours' notice to go to
:14:45. > :14:50.war. But we had a big group of ships one-third of the way down
:14:50. > :14:57.there and that was a help with timing. Also at sea, Chris Parry
:14:57. > :15:03.from Portsmouth. This armed helicopter observer had just
:15:03. > :15:10.published the diary he kept in 1982. What was remarkable was that in
:15:10. > :15:13.three hours of being shaken, I was in my overalls and we were flying
:15:13. > :15:19.alongside the ships and transferring ammunition, storage
:15:19. > :15:24.and personnel. 255 British servicemen died in the battle to
:15:24. > :15:30.liberate the Falkland Islands and more were injured. John from
:15:30. > :15:36.Gosport suffered severe burns while saving -- saving on HMS Sheffield.
:15:36. > :15:43.This destroyer was hit by a missile on a 4th, 1982. Members of the crew
:15:43. > :15:48.were killed, 20 of them. I covered my face with my hands and ran to
:15:48. > :15:54.port side. As I was climbing up I could see the skin falling off the
:15:54. > :16:02.back at my hand. I got through to the deck and from there I made my
:16:02. > :16:06.way forward and some people helped me. The conflict ended with the
:16:06. > :16:13.Argentinian surrender in June 1982 but the war of words over the
:16:13. > :16:18.Falklands has never stopped. Royal Navy have confirmed that HMS
:16:18. > :16:23.Dauntless will leave on Wednesday for a six-month deployment to the
:16:23. > :16:33.South Atlantic. They say the timing, almost exactly 30 years after the
:16:33. > :16:36.
:16:36. > :16:39.task force left is purely a BBC Radio Solent will be live at
:16:39. > :16:43.the Round Tower in Portsmouth on Thursday with a special programme
:16:43. > :16:48.commemorating the day the task force left the city. A new state of
:16:48. > :16:53.the art park has an open for young people in and around Hampshire. It
:16:53. > :16:58.has been funded by the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund as part of a
:16:58. > :17:02.programme to help the families of servicemen and women. They believe
:17:02. > :17:09.they should support people at home as well as serving on the front
:17:09. > :17:16.line but think the two go hand in hand. This games area sits on the
:17:16. > :17:20.Park estate. 140 houses filled by men and women working at the Royal
:17:20. > :17:25.Air Force. Today is the opening but the families have been giving it a
:17:26. > :17:30.trial run. Before this, they did not have a focal meeting point.
:17:30. > :17:33.When parents go on tour, especially with two parents serving, it is
:17:33. > :17:36.frustrating for the children because they think that they are
:17:36. > :17:41.missing out because they have not got their parents at have to move
:17:41. > :17:46.every couple of years and do not have friends or very long. This
:17:46. > :17:50.makes a big difference. I come here nearly every day and you can meet
:17:50. > :17:57.up with other friends and talk about problems and be there for
:17:57. > :18:04.them. It is not a complete distraction. It is my birthday.
:18:04. > :18:09.This is the second time of my dad has gone away. It cost �200,000 to

:18:29. > :18:34.supporting people at home and that is the bedrock of what we do abroad.
:18:34. > :18:39.The benevolent fund is providing a facility to keep families happy. We
:18:39. > :18:44.rely on their support for what we are doing. They seem pleased by the
:18:44. > :18:54.investment. A small way to relieving some of the strainer on
:18:54. > :18:54.
:18:54. > :19:01.RAF parents at home and people on Sport. Six games left! Exciting,
:19:01. > :19:05.isn't it? As exciting as ever and Southampton will not have one of
:19:05. > :19:11.their top strikers, out for the season because of foot surgery.
:19:11. > :19:16.This is what happened at the weekend. We are watching
:19:16. > :19:23.Southampton and Reading had the top of the Championship. Anton
:19:23. > :19:30.Zingaravitch here. 1-0 behind. What a comeback at Upton Park. Kaspars
:19:30. > :19:38.Gorkss with the equaliser. It ended 3-1 after a penalty by Ian Harte in
:19:38. > :19:43.the second half. But then it became 4-2. It was a fantastic result for
:19:43. > :19:48.the Royals. Southampton surrendered a poor defeat at Blackpool. His
:19:48. > :19:52.penalty saved and they conceded themselves. Stephen Dobbie with a
:19:52. > :19:59.double and Ian Evatt with a header. Jason Roberts of flying at the
:19:59. > :20:03.moment. As soon as I have come to the club, that is the way that they
:20:03. > :20:07.have been preparing for every game hands doing that is a positive but
:20:07. > :20:15.it is just three points and will not been anything if we get a
:20:15. > :20:25.negative result in the next game. Reading could go top on Friday if
:20:25. > :20:26.
:20:26. > :20:29.they beat Leeds. So let's start the round up with Brighton's crucial
:20:29. > :20:34.point against play off rivals Middlesbrough. There was not much
:20:34. > :20:40.between them at the stadium. The visitors got in front just past the
:20:40. > :20:49.hour. The teams and players must be brave in the final weeks and this
:20:49. > :20:56.play was just that with a diving header. -- player. They were pretty
:20:56. > :20:59.dangerous as well. The Portsmouth boss is pleased to be based in
:20:59. > :21:04.Southampton on Saturday had hoped it will be a good stage to bounce
:21:04. > :21:11.back from their defeat against Burnley. Level after David Norris
:21:11. > :21:16.but Burnley run away with it in the second half. Charlie Austin backed
:21:16. > :21:20.a hat-trick in 16 minutes as Portsmouth slumped. Almost
:21:20. > :21:25.dominated long periods against Yeovil in League One. But they had
:21:26. > :21:31.to settle for a draw. Crawley fought out a draw with Burton
