:00:01. > :00:08.Hello, I'm Sally Taylor welcome to Friday's edition of South Today.
:00:08. > :00:12.The top stories tonight. As crime falls one Chief Constable
:00:12. > :00:16.warns further cuts could damage the force's ability to respond. My job
:00:16. > :00:20.is to protect the people of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
:00:20. > :00:23.The risks are going up. As Brighton attempts to turn this
:00:23. > :00:27.site into a permanent home for travellers, critics claim it's
:00:27. > :00:34.unnecessary. Not the End of the Pier show. Why people in Worthing
:00:34. > :00:37.think theirs is the icing on the cake. It has always been the place
:00:37. > :00:41.to get away from your troubles and watch the world go by.
:00:41. > :00:47.And the race for the Premier League hots up, Tony Husband is live at St
:00:47. > :00:54.Mary's as Southampton face Reading. It is the match of the season
:00:54. > :01:04.tonight. Southampton against Reading. One of them could lift the
:01:04. > :01:07.
:01:07. > :01:09.The ability of police to respond to crime will become more difficult as
:01:09. > :01:15.budget cuts begin to bite, the chief constable of Hampshire and
:01:15. > :01:18.Isle of Wight Police said today. Alex Marshall was speaking as new
:01:18. > :01:21.figures showed crime had dropped over the past year. He said the
:01:21. > :01:26.force has had to juggle how it used its specialist departments when
:01:26. > :01:29.faced with three separate murders in less than a week. Steve Humphrey
:01:29. > :01:34.has been looking at how the crime figures have come down - despite
:01:34. > :01:39.substantial cuts, Steve. In the past two years Hampshire
:01:39. > :01:42.Police has had to cut its budget by �36 million pounds. Around 400
:01:42. > :01:47.civilian and 200 police officers' jobs have been cut - mainly by not
:01:47. > :01:49.filling vacant posts. But despite the cuts the number of front line
:01:49. > :01:55.officers has been protected with 2,200 involved in responding to
:01:55. > :01:59.emergencies and neighbourhood policing. It's against that
:01:59. > :02:03.background that the latest crime figures have been released. They
:02:03. > :02:06.show that overall crime is down three per cent. There have been
:02:06. > :02:13.reductions in almost all areas including robbery, car crime and
:02:13. > :02:16.burglary. Violent crimes are also down by 1,500 to 30,000 a year. So
:02:16. > :02:23.what do people in the Portswood area of Southampton think about the
:02:23. > :02:28.service they're getting from the police?
:02:28. > :02:34.There is a more than enough police on patrol. I think they are too
:02:34. > :02:40.many. I never see them in Southampton. Especially where they
:02:40. > :02:46.have the police station. I think they are efficient and they are
:02:47. > :02:50.very visible. A I do not feel safe at all, especially after dark.
:02:50. > :02:54.Those different views on the police come as the force in Hampshire gets
:02:55. > :03:00.to grips with the realities of operating with fewer people.
:03:00. > :03:05.Recently they have launched a three murder investigations. We have been
:03:05. > :03:10.stretched across that period, the Easter period is quieter in other
:03:10. > :03:13.areas of policing. It has allowed us to move resources from some
:03:13. > :03:18.parts of the business to deal with those incidents where people have
:03:18. > :03:25.lost their lives. Throughout the cutbacks, the shoe Constable has
:03:25. > :03:29.managed to protect the frontline. Officers patrolling in Gosport this
:03:30. > :03:34.afternoon. He is working harder and smarter with new technology
:03:34. > :03:39.designed to keep him out of the office and on the street. Before we
:03:39. > :03:44.were returning to the station to do the paperwork which could take up
:03:44. > :03:50.to two-thirds of the shift. The mobile data technology allows us to
:03:50. > :03:55.stay out and I anticipate around 95% of the time is out and about
:03:55. > :04:00.visible to the public. The Chief Constable excepts -- excepts the
:04:00. > :04:05.risks. He wants to offset that with greater use of technology and
:04:05. > :04:10.sharing resources and expertise with neighbouring forces. You use
:04:10. > :04:14.the word risks, is one risk that if you have to continue making
:04:14. > :04:23.cutbacks crime levels will go up and you might not be able to
:04:23. > :04:27.respond in the way you want? Yes, they are included in the risks and
:04:27. > :04:32.burglary was going up six months ago, my people worked their socks
:04:32. > :04:36.off to make sure burglary came down and they succeeded. I also worry
:04:36. > :04:41.about the people who work for me, there are few of them, they work
:04:41. > :04:46.incredibly hard, long hours and are feeling the strain. Over three
:04:46. > :04:50.years, they have to make another �18 million worth of cuts leaving
:04:50. > :04:52.the chief constable with a tough decisions to make.
:04:52. > :04:56.A man's being questioned by detectives investigating the
:04:56. > :05:00.discovery of a body in a burnt out car in Hampshire. They now know the
:05:00. > :05:03.victim was dead before the car was set on fire, down an isolated lane
:05:03. > :05:06.in Chilworth near Southampton. The man's body was found on the back
:05:06. > :05:11.seat and the driver's door was open. Police have launched a murder
:05:11. > :05:15.inquiry. David Allard reports. He was a young man, in his 20s and
:05:15. > :05:18.he was already dead when the car was set on fire down this country
:05:18. > :05:21.lane. That much police have established, since fire crews were
:05:21. > :05:30.called to Chilworth Drove at 1 o clock on Tuesday morning by
:05:30. > :05:38.residents who heard an explosion. We are appealing to people who may
:05:38. > :05:46.have seen something. You can access and numbered areas from here, but
:05:46. > :05:49.Lords would, Bassett and Rownhams are reachable from this area.
:05:49. > :05:55.road has reopened but there are still signs of what happened on
:05:55. > :05:59.Tuesday morning. You can see scorch marks from the car set on fire and
:05:59. > :06:02.a bar of the Chard leaves of the overhanging trees. And squashed
:06:02. > :06:06.into the mud, this is all that's left of the car. Still, police say
:06:06. > :06:09.it was a silver two-door Mercedes C200 CDI like this. It was seen in
:06:09. > :06:13.the Shirley area of Southampton on Monday night and was registered
:06:13. > :06:21.locally - though police won't say if it was stolen. They're also
:06:21. > :06:27.looking through CCTV gathered from places like the Chilworth Arms pub.
:06:27. > :06:30.This is a quiet road, and not many people come up and down. To think
:06:30. > :06:38.anybody could do something like that to another human being is
:06:38. > :06:43.beyond belief. We have arrested a 23-year-old from Southampton but I
:06:44. > :06:48.stress this is early days of a complex murder investigation and I
:06:48. > :06:53.am confident as things unravel further arrests will be made.
:06:53. > :06:56.Identifying the murder victim is expected to take some time.
:06:56. > :06:59.Plans to build a business park that could provide up to 2,000 jobs near
:06:59. > :07:02.Havant have been submitted. Portsmouth City Council wants to
:07:02. > :07:07.put offices and an hotel on council land at Dunsbury Hill Farm next to
:07:07. > :07:10.junction three of the A3. It says the development will help boost the
:07:10. > :07:15.local economy. Havant Council should decide whether to approve
:07:15. > :07:17.the plans by July. A public meeting has just started
:07:17. > :07:21.in Brighton to discuss a controversial new site for
:07:21. > :07:25.travellers. The Green run city council plans to create a permanent
:07:25. > :07:28.traveller site on the edge of Brighton. But the organiser of
:07:28. > :07:32.tonight's meeting, the Conservative MP for Hove, says there's no need
:07:32. > :07:40.for the site and he's also accused the Greens of being soft on illegal
:07:40. > :07:45.traveller camps. Mark Sanders reports.
:07:45. > :07:50.It has happened before and again. Travellers pitched up in Hove last
:07:50. > :07:56.year and this month there was another unauthorised camp. The
:07:56. > :08:03.residents have had enough. We have had little problems, problems of
:08:03. > :08:07.general hygiene, let's not go into detail. And noise. There was a near
:08:07. > :08:11.by it one night. Dealing with travellers is a sensitive subject
:08:11. > :08:16.and tonight's meeting centres on plans for permanent site on the
:08:16. > :08:22.outskirts of the city. The council plans an extension to the existing
:08:22. > :08:27.legitimate transit site. It would create 16 permanent pitches.
:08:27. > :08:31.will ease the problem, it will not solve it but we do have a
:08:31. > :08:36.responsibility to provide a permanent site. Other authorities
:08:36. > :08:42.have done it all ready. We have a responsibility for the education
:08:42. > :08:47.and health of travellers. I do not see why the tax payer should fund a
:08:47. > :08:50.lifestyle which says we will put you in an area of a stand or
:08:50. > :08:56.Natural Beauty when you can buy a plot of land and do normal planning
:08:56. > :08:59.procedures. The council expects the site to be funded by a grant of
:08:59. > :09:03.�1.7 million from central government. The residents would
:09:03. > :09:10.have the same responsibilities as residents of other housing.
:09:10. > :09:14.should let people integrate, paid council tax, they should pay the
:09:14. > :09:21.council tax and water rates, they are happy to do that. We have to be
:09:21. > :09:26.given the opportunity to do it. Although the council proposals --
:09:26. > :09:30.proposes a permanent site, it is up to the national park authority to
:09:30. > :09:33.decide whether it can be developed. After two exceptionally dry winters
:09:33. > :09:37.it's hardly surprising that water levels in some of our rivers are
:09:37. > :09:40.extremely low. But there's another reason that the River Kennet in
:09:40. > :09:43.Berkshire is in trouble. That's because it's also a major source of
:09:43. > :09:47.drinking water - millions of gallons are pumped out to supply
:09:47. > :09:49.homes and businesses in Wiltshire. WWF - the wildlife charity - says
:09:49. > :09:55.the licences allowing water companies to take from rivers are
:09:55. > :10:02.hopelessly out of date - and change is urgently needed. Allen Sinclair
:10:02. > :10:05.reports. As it flows into Reading today, the
:10:05. > :10:07.River Kennet is low and sluggish, but it's not just two winters of
:10:07. > :10:12.below average rainfall that have caused this river's health to
:10:12. > :10:15.decline. Way up stream this is one of the main sources of drinking
:10:15. > :10:24.water for Swindon and abstracting or pumping out vast quantities of
:10:24. > :10:27.water there, is having a huge impact further downstream. We've
:10:27. > :10:30.already seen a number of fish killed in the top part of the
:10:31. > :10:35.Kennet, but all the way along the river, low flows can start to
:10:35. > :10:38.change the nature of the eco system if they're there for a long time.
:10:38. > :10:41.It affects everything in the river, from the smallest bug to the
:10:41. > :10:44.biggest fish. Water pumped from the Kennet at Axford is vital for
:10:44. > :10:47.Swindon - but the rules introduced nearly fifty years ago mean water
:10:47. > :10:52.companies can carry on pumping, even if the source river is
:10:52. > :10:54.critically low. This is an issue that is across the board in terms
:10:54. > :10:58.of water levels, and it's been exacerbated obviously by drought,
:10:58. > :11:00.so I think the sensible thing to do is look at legislation, and
:11:00. > :11:02.hopefully we'll then find a solution which works for the
:11:02. > :11:09.twenty-first century, rather than something which worked for the
:11:09. > :11:15.nineteen sixties. Thames Water insists recent weather, not its
:11:15. > :11:18.activities, is the primary cause of the current problem. Equally our
:11:18. > :11:21.abstraction from the river doesn't help and we recognise that. We
:11:21. > :11:24.agree with the environment agency with their plans, to reduce
:11:24. > :11:31.abstraction from Axford - we've got a plan to do that, and in the
:11:31. > :11:35.coming years that will be delivered. Meanwhile all involved are
:11:35. > :11:38.reminding us to do our bit and avoid wasting water.
:11:38. > :11:42.The RNLI has drawn up plans to bring future production and
:11:42. > :11:45.maintenance of its all-weather lifeboats to its Poole headquarters.
:11:45. > :11:49.The facility will be built on land adjacent to Holes Bay creating 90
:11:49. > :11:51.jobs if the council gives its approval. Initially costing �11.2
:11:51. > :12:01.million, the charity says in-house work could save just under four
:12:01. > :12:01.
:12:01. > :12:04.million pounds each year. Now have a look at these pictures. Home
:12:04. > :12:09.movie of the coronation celebrations for King George the
:12:09. > :12:12.sixth shot in Portsmouth in May 1937. A project called Portsmouth:
:12:13. > :12:19.Family Histories on Film is looking for any archive from the city at an
:12:19. > :12:23.event tomorrow. It takes place at the Aspex gallery in Gunwharf Quays.
:12:23. > :12:29.People are being asked to donate film in exchange for a DVD copy.
:12:29. > :12:31.Some of the footage will be screened in June.
:12:31. > :12:34.Onto sport and this season's promotion race in the football
:12:34. > :12:38.league has thrown up many big encounters but they don't come much
:12:39. > :12:41.bigger than tonight at St Mary's. Southampton meet Reading, both
:12:42. > :12:51.sides gunning for a place in the Premier league, let's join Tony
:12:52. > :12:59.
:12:59. > :13:05.live at the ground, Tony, how A both of these sites can see the
:13:05. > :13:11.door of the Premier League in the distance. They know a -- they know
:13:11. > :13:19.they are within a knocking distance. St Mary's will have a great
:13:19. > :13:24.atmosphere. Reading will have 2,500 up but end of the ground and
:13:24. > :13:29.Southampton occupy the rest of the stadium. Let's look at some of the
:13:29. > :13:36.keys to the game. The sides are sitting the first and second in the
:13:36. > :13:41.table. The team to worry about his West Ham. Six points behind so West
:13:41. > :13:46.Ham could never get back into it. Reading have got to home games
:13:46. > :13:53.after this, Southampton on the road next week. The keys to victory for
:13:53. > :13:58.the teams, Rickie Lambert scored 30 goals this season, the
:13:58. > :14:04.championships leading scorer. He scored at Crystal Palace to keep
:14:04. > :14:14.his side top of the table. Tonight, they are up against the best
:14:14. > :14:20.
:14:21. > :14:28.defence in the championship, Alex If I just think this is another
:14:28. > :14:33.game where we go there with two teams. One is into opposition, we
:14:33. > :14:38.go there prepared and ready. I am looking forward to playing in front
:14:38. > :14:44.of a great crowd. Best two teams playing each other on Friday night?
:14:44. > :14:49.They are a lot of good teams in this decision -- this division.
:14:49. > :14:53.These are the most consistent teams. We will do what we have to do to
:14:53. > :14:57.prepare. Rickie Lambert is one of their players. He has done
:14:57. > :15:03.fantastically well this season. They have a consistent run of games.
:15:03. > :15:08.That is why they are with us at the top of the division. That first
:15:08. > :15:13.question to Brian McDermott was, is this a critical game? But managers
:15:13. > :15:20.take it one game at a time. These guys will not give me any cliches.
:15:20. > :15:26.Here is the former Reading captain and the former Southampton manager.
:15:26. > :15:33.The last 15 features, they have won 13 and drawn one. They have 40
:15:33. > :15:38.points out of 45. It is a good record. Can they be relaxed coming
:15:38. > :15:44.here tonight? They will have fans behind them. But most of this crowd
:15:44. > :15:48.will cheer on the home team. Brian McDermott is very relaxed. The
:15:48. > :15:51.players are just going about their business. It is just another game.
:15:52. > :15:56.That is a philosophy. That is all Brian has been doing. People
:15:56. > :16:01.concentrate on this, and they look forward to the next one. Dave, we
:16:01. > :16:05.saw what happened at Crystal Palace. What is the character of this team?
:16:05. > :16:09.They have tremendous character. They have been there all season, of
:16:09. > :16:14.the top. The manager has done an excellent job. He has kept his feet
:16:14. > :16:18.on the floor. The players have a great belief, a great spirit in the
:16:18. > :16:22.dressing room. They are scoring goals. Both these young managers, a
:16:22. > :16:27.new breed, they have done very well. Both managers keep their feet on
:16:27. > :16:31.the floor, they do not get carried away. One game at a time, that has
:16:31. > :16:39.been their example. They are doing an excellent job. We look forward
:16:39. > :16:42.to listening to you on BBC local radio. Thank you.
:16:42. > :16:45.Brighton could play a big part in the promotion race this weekend,
:16:45. > :16:48.and boost their own hopes of reaching the play-offs. Albion's
:16:48. > :16:51.defeat against Reading on Tuesday was their second in a row. It has
:16:51. > :16:54.left them outside the top six, and tomorrow, they are at third-placed
:16:54. > :17:04.West Ham. Albion midfielder Alan Navarro admitted this week the team
:17:04. > :17:04.
:17:04. > :17:08.would be devastated to miss out on the top six. Brighton have had such
:17:08. > :17:11.a good run in their first season in the Championship.
:17:11. > :17:13.At the other end of the table, Portsmouth could be relegated to
:17:13. > :17:16.League One tomorrow. They are at fellow strugglers Doncaster. Pompey
:17:16. > :17:19.must win to stand any chance of staying up after Tuesday's loss
:17:19. > :17:23.against Millwall. But if Bristol City better their result, Michael
:17:23. > :17:28.Appleton's men will officially be down.
:17:28. > :17:31.Crawley Town host Wimbledon tomorrow. Town are two points
:17:31. > :17:33.outside the automatic play-off places and Craig Brewster is in
:17:33. > :17:36.caretaker charge after Steve Evans' departure. Steve Coppell will watch

:17:59. > :18:06.the season because of the weather. They have been playing. Hampshire
:18:06. > :18:13.are 147 for 7. We moved to the capital. Lords, Middlesex were
:18:13. > :18:23.bowled out -- bowled out by a Surrey. In Liverpool, going well
:18:23. > :18:23.
:18:23. > :18:33.for Sussex against a Lancashire. They were bowled out for 124.
:18:33. > :18:34.
:18:34. > :18:43.Sussex, all out. 85 for four. Good luck to everyone are running at the
:18:43. > :18:46.Brighton marathon this weekend. As I am sure you are aware, this
:18:46. > :18:50.weekend is the centenary of the sinking of Titanic and the 1997
:18:50. > :18:53.movie has been re-released in 3D in cinemas. One of the Hollywood stars
:18:53. > :18:56.of the film, Bernard Hill, has been to Southampton to work with us on a
:18:56. > :19:03.special documentary. While he was here I spoke to him about that
:19:03. > :19:11.project and what it was like to work on the James Cameron film.
:19:11. > :19:15.was great. It was great fun. Other people did not have such fun, James
:19:15. > :19:21.Cameron is a tricky man. I'd had a great time. The documentary you
:19:21. > :19:27.have made, about the Titanic 100 years on, what effect has it had a
:19:27. > :19:32.new? We all know about Titanic. Most people do. It is not just
:19:32. > :19:40.about a romantic story on a ship that sank. It is not just about a
:19:40. > :19:45.ship that hit an iceberg. It is about the people who worked on
:19:45. > :19:50.board. They were real people and have a value. They had a massive
:19:50. > :20:00.value, obviously, to their families. They were the only breadwinners. I
:20:00. > :20:00.
:20:00. > :20:05.am here at these birds. Titanic was too big for a single berth. --
:20:05. > :20:12.births. Tell me what it was like when you walked there. Are there
:20:12. > :20:17.was a ship their, a container ship. It was probably the same height. It
:20:17. > :20:23.was painted differently. That could be Titanic, I thought. They came
:20:23. > :20:31.along here. That section is really good in the documentary. By really
:20:31. > :20:41.got into it. I imagined this huge thing, like a street longship,
:20:41. > :20:44.
:20:45. > :20:48.going by a full stop have you enjoyed making it? Yes. It is about
:20:48. > :20:54.the people who died on Titanic and their relatives, their mothers,
:20:54. > :21:04.their wives, their children, who suffered because of that. As soon
:21:04. > :21:08.as they hit the water, they stopped paying. How important is this for

:21:12. > :21:17.documentary, if it goes further than just a BBC South, it will
:21:17. > :21:23.achieve a greater value, because it will be a source of great sadness

:22:27. > :22:29.suffered almost every calamity it is possible to imagine. But it is
:22:29. > :22:35.still standing, and this year sees its 150th anniversary. Yesterday
:22:35. > :22:41.people gathered to kick off the celebrations.
:22:41. > :22:47.It is a celebration of a slice of seaside life. For 150 years, people
:22:47. > :22:52.have been walking on water in Worthing.
:22:52. > :22:57.I have lived in Worthing all my life. Reading Pier is the best bit.
:22:57. > :23:00.You always come here for fun. You can get away from your troubles. It
:23:00. > :23:03.is the best place to watch the world go by.
:23:03. > :23:07.Worthing's pier opened in 1862. It was the 13th to be built in England
:23:07. > :23:11.and it has not had much luck. During its life, the pier has been
:23:11. > :23:14.blown away, burnt down and blown up. In 1913, much of the pier was swept
:23:14. > :23:24.away in a storm. It was repaired, but in 1933, fire ravaged the
:23:24. > :23:28.
:23:28. > :23:32.structure. Holidaymakers helped stop the flames spreading. He they
:23:32. > :23:35.assisted the firefighters. And in in 1940 part of the pier was

:23:43. > :23:47.survived into the 21st century. is iconic. It is the best assets we
:23:47. > :23:50.have in Worthing. It is a really fun place to be, especially in the
:23:51. > :23:55.nice weather. I think it is brilliant. There is always
:23:55. > :23:57.something going on and it is lovely to come and sit down here in the
:23:57. > :24:00.evening. People's holiday habits have
:24:00. > :24:04.certainly changed since this place first opened. But today, even after
:24:04. > :24:12.so many piers have been lost, it is still an attraction. The pier has
:24:12. > :24:22.been a fixture of Worthing life, as much as the English weather.
:24:22. > :24:26.
:24:26. > :24:32.We could do with a few more on well as through the weekend. Gradually,
:24:32. > :24:36.the showers will ease. It is worth bearing in mind we have a low level
:24:36. > :24:41.yellow warning to the west of Southampton. That is for some
:24:41. > :24:44.potentially heavy showers through the next hour or so. I think as we
:24:44. > :24:51.head through the remainder of receiving, the showers will
:24:51. > :24:56.gradually fade away in the most part. But is one exception. For us,
:24:56. > :25:02.largely south of the M4 corridor will see showers. Tonight, much
:25:02. > :25:06.cloudier than last night. But not as cool. Temperatures will be four
:25:06. > :25:11.degrees. It looks like tomorrow will get off to a damp start. Quite

:25:15. > :25:19.the east as we go through the course of the day. If you draw a
:25:19. > :25:23.line from the Isle of Wight to Bristol, we are looking at showery
:25:23. > :25:26.conditions to the South West. Further north, there will be
:25:26. > :25:32.brighter skies. Temperatures could reach 11 degrees. Overnight
:25:32. > :25:36.tomorrow, things will dry out. The cloud will peel back and we will
:25:36. > :25:43.look at clear skies. It's a much cooler night to come. Damages will

:25:49. > :25:56.freezing. A Touch of Frost into the start of Sunday. A bright and crisp
:25:56. > :25:59.start. Generally dry day. Do make the most of the dry and bright
:25:59. > :26:04.conditions because, as you can see, we have some active fronts coming
:26:04. > :26:09.in from the Atlantic, bringing us some wet and windy conditions as we
:26:09. > :26:17.head through the working week. Here is your outlook. The not too bad
:26:17. > :26:20.through the weekend, a little cold. Tonight we will leave you with a
:26:20. > :26:24.taste of a special song written to mark the 100th anniversary of the
:26:24. > :26:27.loss of the Titanic. Swim To The Star is sung by the American folk
:26:27. > :26:31.singer Peggy Seeger, a member of probably one of the most famous
:26:31. > :26:34.folk music families in the world. This is part of a ballad written by
:26:34. > :26:44.Peggy Seeger and her son Calum MacColl which has been specially
