Hello and welcome to South Today. The top stories: HSBC staff are

:00:08.:00:12.

taken to a football stadium to hear about job losses as the bank

:00:12.:00:15.

becomes the latest firm to cut could -- posts.

:00:15.:00:21.

The harsh reality of tough times. A food Banks sees a four fold

:00:21.:00:26.

increase in demand. I am struggling and just about keeping my head

:00:26.:00:30.

above water. If 50 years since Britain's first

human powered flight, pedal-powered takes one man to the skies again -

just. And the girl with the pearl

ransom. We were told it was far more beautiful than any of the last

:00:48.:00:58.
:00:58.:01:01.

ones. -- eight royal mistress. The 4th set of job losses to hit

:01:01.:01:06.

the South in as many days was announced today. HSBC is to shed up

:01:06.:01:11.

to 200 jobs across the region. It was on Monday that British Gas

:01:11.:01:16.

announced plans to cut 550 jobs at its call centre in the city. The

:01:16.:01:22.

following day, Aldershot IT company EU Plants Ltd -- CSC said it was

:01:22.:01:26.

cutting 640 jobs. Yesterday, the insurance firm Zurich said it was

:01:26.:01:32.

shedding almost 180 jobs in Hampshire, at Whitely and

:01:32.:01:36.

Farnborough. But there were gains, with 200 call-centre jobs with

:01:36.:01:43.

Southern Electric at Havant. Steve is at an HSBC branch for us.

:01:43.:01:47.

It has been one of the worst weeks on record for job losses across the

:01:47.:01:52.

South, with nearly 1000 job cuts being announced in recent days.

:01:52.:01:56.

HSBC's announcement will affect office staff and financial advisers

:01:56.:02:01.

in its branches across the country. HSBC says it is about streamlining

:02:01.:02:06.

systems and cutting costs, but the unions say they are outraged that a

:02:06.:02:14.

bank making big profits is cutting staff. One of the workers arriving

:02:14.:02:18.

for this morning's meeting at Southampton's football stadium said

:02:18.:02:23.

staff had been at respecting -- expecting news about restructuring.

:02:23.:02:26.

As they returned to their office block in the city, but none of the

:02:26.:02:30.

staff wanted to talk about the job cuts they had been told about.

:02:30.:02:38.

Argue able to say anything? comment. But the unions were

:02:38.:02:44.

commenting very forcefully about the announcement. -- are you able.

:02:44.:02:48.

A outrage and disgust at. We believe the job cuts are necessary

:02:48.:02:51.

and in appropriate to a company that it has made billions of pounds

:02:51.:02:57.

of profit. 200 HSBC jobs are at risk across the South. Along with

:02:57.:03:01.

financial advisers' posts in some branches, around 80 jobs are

:03:01.:03:04.

expected to go in the bank's offices in Southampton and

:03:04.:03:09.

Eastleigh. HSBC says some of those affected could be redeployed

:03:09.:03:13.

elsewhere in the bank. One of Southampton's MPs says those being

:03:13.:03:19.

made redundant face a tough struggle to find new jobs.

:03:19.:03:22.

problem in our economy today is not just that people are losing their

:03:22.:03:26.

jobs, but that nothing is being done to create new jobs to replace

:03:26.:03:30.

them. That is why people know that if they lose their jobs at British

:03:30.:03:36.

Gas, HSBC or anywhere else, it is pretty difficult to get a new one.

:03:36.:03:40.

At a job spec in Reading today, the Employment Minister said he

:03:40.:03:46.

believes there are opportunities for people losing their jobs. -- a

:03:46.:03:51.

job there. Any redundancy is painful and difficult. There are

:03:51.:03:55.

opportunities there and you will come through and find a job. You

:03:55.:03:58.

will get into something different or something the same. There is

:03:58.:04:04.

good support. Today's news means four big organisations in the South

:04:04.:04:07.

have announced job losses within four days. These are very tough

:04:08.:04:14.

times for the workers involved and their families.

:04:14.:04:18.

It is the second time in three years that HSBC has announced job

:04:18.:04:24.

cuts. In 2009, 200 jobs went in Southampton. Yesterday's GDP

:04:24.:04:28.

figures showed the UK economy had slipped back into recession but

:04:28.:04:32.

interestingly, those figures are questioned by some economists and

:04:32.:04:36.

business organisations, who say there are some signs the UK economy

:04:36.:04:42.

may well start to grow slowly over the coming months.

:04:42.:04:45.

Around 1800 people were looking for jobs at a recruitment fair in

:04:45.:04:49.

Reading today. The town has weathered the recession better than

:04:49.:04:53.

many places in the region, which is seen as highly important in leading

:04:53.:04:57.

the recovery. There opportunities but also challenges for people

:04:58.:05:04.

looking for work, as Benn reports. I am being made redundant in eight

:05:04.:05:11.

a weeks' time. Basically, I feel lost. That is the truth.

:05:11.:05:16.

hunting is a new and daunting experience for 56-year-old John.

:05:16.:05:20.

I feel a bit intimidated, really. The last eight years, I have done

:05:20.:05:28.

where housework. A you going to take the plunge? -- I have worked

:05:28.:05:36.

in warehouses. They call events like this job speed-skating.

:05:36.:05:40.

We have a warehouse there so we will send the application form out

:05:40.:05:47.

to you. One employee it is using the fare to actively recruit, as it

:05:47.:05:50.

is three months into a �36 million redevelopment of Reading's rail

:05:50.:05:57.

depot. We have a full spectrum of jobs we are looking to recruit four,

:05:57.:06:00.

all the way from entry-level positions to fully qualified site

:06:00.:06:05.

engineers. I was really surprised with the quality of the candidate

:06:05.:06:09.

so I was meeting today. Hopefully we should be able to get some

:06:09.:06:14.

people started. The new train depot is just one example of the big

:06:14.:06:18.

engineering projects that are under way or in the pipeline for the town.

:06:18.:06:21.

It is projects like this that give it a reputation as being recession-

:06:22.:06:28.

proof. But figures from the National Office of Statistics say

:06:28.:06:35.

that 70% of people in the town are unemployed. -- 17%. That means more

:06:35.:06:39.

than 6,000 people are currently out of work here, so is it really a

:06:39.:06:44.

shining example? I don't think any way is recession-proof but there is

:06:44.:06:48.

no doubt the economy here in the Thames Valley, door and the

:06:48.:06:58.
:06:58.:06:59.

proximity to great transport links makes a difference. -- corridor.

:06:59.:07:04.

The government wants to see more job fairs to help people like John

:07:04.:07:08.

but at least he lives in the right place, statistically. There are

:07:08.:07:13.

thousands of people like me. Hopefully as we have paid enough

:07:13.:07:16.

into the government, they will pay us some back.

:07:16.:07:20.

A new figures released by the charity The Trussell Trust showed

:07:20.:07:23.

twice as many people I using food banks compared to the same time

:07:23.:07:29.

last year. -- are using. They rely on donations from the public and

:07:29.:07:33.

supermarkets to provide for people in Severe hardship. One in

:07:33.:07:37.

Eastleigh says it has seen more people asking for food donations

:07:37.:07:40.

because of benefit delays or because they are in eligible for a

:07:40.:07:49.

crisis loan. Craig has come here to feed his family. His wife died

:07:49.:07:52.

suddenly one year ago and he gave up work to look after his three

:07:52.:07:58.

children. People struggle and that is what has happened. I am

:07:58.:08:03.

struggling and just about keeping my head above water. Volunteers say

:08:03.:08:07.

it takes a lot of courage to go to the feedback and ask for help, but

:08:07.:08:15.

more and more people are having to do it. -- goat to the food bank.

:08:15.:08:21.

This food bank at speeds between 15 and 20 families a day. This room

:08:21.:08:25.

will be empty in two weeks. Volunteers say people need to come

:08:25.:08:29.

here because they are not receiving benefits fast enough. We have had

:08:30.:08:36.

people who have had to wait between six and 13 weeks to get benefits,

:08:36.:08:42.

and you cannot live without any money coming in. People come from

:08:42.:08:46.

all walks of life. People who just don't know where to turn.

:08:46.:08:50.

Especially those who have not been on the benefits system before.

:08:50.:09:00.
:09:00.:09:11.

We have fresh veggies... The food is donated by individuals,

:09:11.:09:16.

supermarkets and schools. Badgers are given out by organisations like

:09:16.:09:21.

the Citizens Advice Bureau. Craig was referred by his son's school. -

:09:21.:09:27.

- of vouchers are given out. I can now give my children a proper diet

:09:27.:09:32.

instead of junk food and it lightens the load of the day to

:09:32.:09:37.

date bills. Craig expects to be back next week. He hopes this is a

:09:37.:09:42.

short-term solution, but they need all this food bank shows no sign of

:09:42.:09:48.

ending. Plans to put a tunnels on five

:09:48.:09:53.

acres of Berkshire farm and have been a crew to buy a bombers. EU

:09:53.:09:57.

Plants Ltd wanted to use the tunnels at Manor Farm in

:09:57.:10:05.

Finchampstead to grow plants. -- have been approved.

:10:09.:10:13.

Tomorrow will be another day of sunshine and showers but all eyes

:10:13.:10:23.
:10:23.:10:23.

are looking to the weekend. Wet and windy conditions. -- with Alexis.

:10:23.:10:27.

Plans for a funeral parlour in a residential street in Portsmouth

:10:27.:10:32.

have been rejected by the city council. Southern Co-operative

:10:32.:10:37.

wanted to build a chapel of rest at Tangier Road in Copnor. Planners

:10:37.:10:40.

rejected the application on the grounds it would affect people

:10:40.:10:44.

nearby. The company says it is disappointed.

:10:45.:10:47.

Thames Valley Police are searching for a 15-year-old girl who has gone

:10:47.:10:52.

missing. Stacie Richardson was last seen at her home on Monday 19th

:10:52.:10:56.

April. Police say their parents are extremely worried. She has links to

:10:56.:11:03.

Dorset and Surrey. If you have seen her, contact Thames Valley Police

on 101. More than 10,000 people have

:11:06.:11:11.

visited Southampton's new Sea City Museum in less than two weeks. 1000

:11:11.:11:15.

of those were city residents with free tickets for the attraction,

:11:15.:11:20.

which cost �15 million to build. Researchers at the University of

:11:20.:11:24.

Reading say they have discovered for the first time how blood clots

:11:24.:11:28.

form. They say this new knowledge has the potential to lead to

:11:28.:11:33.

breakthroughs in the treatment of some of the world's biggest killers

:11:33.:11:37.

like heart attacks and strokes. Language schools are warning that

:11:37.:11:41.

the region's economy could lose millions of pounds per year because

:11:41.:11:45.

of a government crackdown on student visas. They say new rules

:11:45.:11:51.

make it more expensive for students outside the EU to X -- to obtain

:11:51.:11:58.

visas and it has already led to a significant drop in numbers.

:11:58.:12:01.

This woman is studying five A- levels and hopes to study economics

:12:01.:12:06.

in the UK. Her visa will allow her to do that but changes to long-term

:12:06.:12:09.

student visas are making it harder for international students to

:12:09.:12:15.

follow in her footsteps. For most of them, they run not even the

:12:15.:12:21.

opportunities to come to the UK and study. The government crackdown on

:12:22.:12:25.

student visas has led to a reduction in applications but

:12:25.:12:29.

according to new research, that could impact on the British economy.

:12:29.:12:34.

According to figures supplied by English UK, foreign language

:12:34.:12:39.

students generate �122 million to the economy of Brighton and Hove

:12:39.:12:46.

each year. In Sussex, the figure is �74.6 million. It is not as the

:12:46.:12:50.

tuition fees but the living costs. They have to live, eat, they spend

:12:50.:12:57.

money extensively on all the things that young students do. But not all

:12:57.:13:01.

language schools are as a reputable. A BBC investigation discovered this

:13:01.:13:05.

man was running a bogus language school in Brighton, helping people

:13:05.:13:11.

to get into the UK using a student visa. It is situations like these

:13:11.:13:15.

that the govern want to clamp down on. One of the big immigration

:13:15.:13:20.

streams his students. -- government want to. If you let them stay on

:13:20.:13:24.

regardless, we would not hit our targets and that is why we are

:13:24.:13:28.

bringing in these restrictions. Language schools say that these

:13:28.:13:31.

reforms are simply turning away good business in a time of

:13:31.:13:38.

It's the dream of dozens of inventors every year who take part

:13:38.:13:41.

in the Bognor and Worthing Birdman events - human powered flight. Of

:13:41.:13:43.

course many of these contraptions never stand a serious chance of

:13:43.:13:47.

making it very far - but now, on the 50th anniversary of Britain's

:13:47.:13:49.

first human powered flight, one engineer is trying to recapture the

:13:49.:13:59.

magic. Tim Muffett caught up with him at the University of Sussex.

:13:59.:14:04.

Ever since the Legend Of Icarus, people have been captivated by

:14:04.:14:10.

human powered flight. Only a handful have achieved it. The first

:14:10.:14:16.

was 50 years ago and to mark the anniversary the BBC have decided to

:14:16.:14:22.

join a handful of people who have successfully taken off due to pedal

:14:22.:14:29.

power alone. Congratulations, it is looking half-built. Let's have a

:14:29.:14:39.
:14:39.:14:52.

quick look at how you got on when Fairly successful although a brief

:14:52.:15:00.

flight. For decades Human powered flight, despite the attempt in 61,

:15:00.:15:06.

is between cartoons and reality. We thought how difficult is impossible

:15:06.:15:11.

and if we can do it with limited time and resources, know the others

:15:11.:15:16.

will say it is not that bad at more people will fly. When I learned

:15:16.:15:22.

what to do what to do in the air, I think we will fly it for longer.

:15:22.:15:25.

People in aviation think it is great and hopefully we have lowered

:15:25.:15:31.

the barrier for entry. Maybe I will take you up on the offer! The

:15:31.:15:37.

University of Sussex have lent them the hall to recreate this and

:15:37.:15:45.

hopefully it will take to this guy is one day.

:15:45.:15:51.

They were brilliant. Let's go on it to the sport.

:15:51.:15:54.

A bigger creditors meeting at Portsmouth. No buyer, soon, no

:15:54.:15:57.

money. Creditors were clinging onto hope at Fratton Park today as they

:15:57.:16:01.

gathered for the second time in two years to hear the latest assessment

:16:01.:16:04.

of the club's woes. I was inside the meeting, along with a colourful

:16:04.:16:07.

cast which represented the club's past- and in all likelihood, it's

:16:07.:16:15.

future too. Two years on from Portsmouth's last meltdown, many of

:16:15.:16:19.

the Senate creditors were at Fratton Park again to see how much

:16:19.:16:24.

more money they would lease. Much of the debt will never be recovered.

:16:24.:16:34.
:16:34.:16:43.

Faced with the doomsday scenario, the former owner and creditor is

:16:43.:16:48.

ready to step in again through his company, but according to

:16:48.:16:54.

representatives. His brother was there but would not comment. They

:16:54.:16:58.

are the only people with the funding to take the club forward

:16:58.:17:04.

into next season. Unless someone else comes out of the wings it does

:17:04.:17:08.

seem they are the front-runners. am only interested in the club

:17:08.:17:14.

being saved but if he comes back, so be it. I would like us to start

:17:14.:17:19.

the season not going too much money. The former chief executive spoke to

:17:19.:17:25.

the meeting acknowledging at no time since 2010 and the birth of

:17:25.:17:30.

the new club had Pompey been self- sustaining. It relies on outside

:17:30.:17:32.

investment which dried up when the last owners went into

:17:33.:17:37.

administration. The bills are rising and the administrators are

:17:37.:17:42.

owed thousands for their work so far. The PFA representing the

:17:42.:17:48.

players have a claim for 26 million for past and future payment.

:17:48.:17:52.

Football at Fratton Park next season? Probably but after have the

:17:52.:17:55.

prize. Trevor Birch also cast doubt on the Portsmouth Supporter's

:17:55.:17:57.

trusts efforts to save the club alone, unless they receive

:17:57.:18:00.

significant backing from wealthy individuals, but they had a boost

:18:00.:18:03.

to their fund raising today Three of Pompey players became signed up

:18:03.:18:06.

members of the trust. From left to right, goalkeeper Jamie Ashdown was

:18:06.:18:09.

joined by Joel Ward and David Norris in joining the scheme which

:18:09.:18:15.

is aimed at producing a community buy out of the club. Bournemouth

:18:15.:18:19.

have announced profits for the year of �1.1 million. Although the

:18:19.:18:22.

league one club revealed a 1.2 million operating loss. That was

:18:22.:18:25.

offset by player sales amounting to 2.3 million. The figures are for

:18:25.:18:30.

the period to June 2011. Just 22 days until the Olympic

:18:30.:18:34.

Torch Relay begins but GB Hockey have already hit the road. The

:18:34.:18:38.

men's and women's squads are based at Bisham Abbey near Marlow. To

:18:38.:18:40.

help promote the sport ahead of London 2012 they're spending

:18:40.:18:43.

eighteen days on the road with "The Big Dribble." It's a chance for

:18:43.:18:48.

fans to meet some of the stars of the game and try out the sport.

:18:48.:18:53.

Yesterday they were in Southampton, and Ed Sherry went along. It's not

:18:53.:18:56.

everyday you can wonder into your local shopping centre and play

:18:56.:19:03.

alongside one of the stars of British sport. We have covered 40

:19:03.:19:13.

cities and are aiming to do 2012, the biggest year for sport. 212

:19:13.:19:17.

kilometres dribbling for hockey. Many people are having a go and it

:19:17.:19:21.

shows how brilliant the event is. They were out in force in

:19:21.:19:24.

Southampton clocking more laps than any other stop on the Big Dribble

:19:24.:19:29.

and a taste of what life could be like after the Olympics. It is a

:19:29.:19:35.

very strange, not something... I find it strange that a hockey

:19:35.:19:38.

family is an incredible sport. This is what's made Alex such an

:19:38.:19:41.

inspiration in the hockey family. GB hasn't official selected the

:19:41.:19:44.

squad for London 2012 yet, but the Reading player's place is virtually

:19:44.:19:47.

assured. The GB women are in good form - coming second in a major

:19:47.:19:50.

international tournament in January. And the sport is looking to

:19:50.:20:00.
:20:00.:20:00.

capitalise on the Olympic publicity. London 2012 is not a moment in time.

:20:00.:20:05.

We do not want to miss the opportunity to miss participation.

:20:05.:20:11.

Young and old alike were certainly inspired. It is an ideal chance to

:20:11.:20:16.

pick up the stick and may be joined in later with a club. It is fun and

:20:16.:20:23.

you get to learn a lot. You get to play against other teams.

:20:23.:20:29.

encourages the children to play. Next year, it will be evident there

:20:29.:20:33.

will be more children wanting to come to the club. The Big Dribble

:20:33.:20:36.

is about creating a legacy for the sport by the time it reaches

:20:36.:20:41.

Trafalgar Square in May the Hockey family will be that much bigger.

:20:41.:20:44.

And tomorrow morning the Big Dribble starts at the Surrey Sports

:20:44.:20:50.

Park in Guildford. It also visits, Reading, Oxford on May 1st.

:20:50.:20:53.

Onto cricket, and batsmen have been moaning about the lack of runs in a

:20:53.:20:56.

very early start to the season. But Warwickshire's batsmen cashed in at

:20:56.:21:00.

Hove today. Centuries for Varun Chopra and Jonathan Trott have

:21:00.:21:02.

helped the visitors at the Ageas Bowl, Hampshire have found wickets

:21:02.:21:12.
:21:12.:21:22.

I have the day off tomorrow. Do I want to know that? Make us feel

:21:22.:21:31.

good. The big build-up for Saints on Saturday.

:21:31.:21:35.

On to the weather, it is not looking good. I have some charity

:21:35.:21:41.

walks over the weekend. It will be touch and go on Sunday. Gale force

:21:41.:21:46.

wind and heavy rain. It is coming from the Bay of Biscay. Wellington

:21:46.:21:52.

boots. Or put on some waders! Warwick captured flooding from the
