:00:05. > :00:07.Hello I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's
:00:07. > :00:12.programme: Police officers will have to plug
:00:12. > :00:16.the gap in Olympic security left by G4S.
:00:16. > :00:19.A bitter pill to swallow for some NHS staff who could face cuts in
:00:19. > :00:23.pay. Electrifying the line could get
:00:23. > :00:32.freight off roads, but will it be a shock for passengers with rising
:00:32. > :00:37.fares? And after a huge crowds followed the torch this weekend,
:00:38. > :00:47.today it has made its way into Sussex where 10,000 people will see
:00:47. > :00:50.the cauldron it here in Hove. Police from three forces in the
:00:50. > :00:55.South are being drafted in to fill the gaps in Olympics security after
:00:55. > :00:58.the private firm, G4S, failed to provide enough staff. Officers in
:00:58. > :01:02.Dorset, Surrey and the Thames Valley will step in to help keep
:01:02. > :01:07.Olympic venues in their regions safe. In Dorset, the military are
:01:07. > :01:14.also on patrol at sailing venues after G4S staff failed to show up.
:01:14. > :01:19.Our Home Affairs Correspondent has the story.
:01:19. > :01:23.In less than two weeks, Weymouth and Portland will be packed with
:01:23. > :01:27.spectators here to see Olympic sailing. Soon, the main venues are
:01:27. > :01:32.due to be lockdown meaning they have been searched and security
:01:32. > :01:37.stepped up, but Dorset Police Federation so there has been a
:01:37. > :01:42.shortfall in staff from G4S, the private firm contracted to do this.
:01:42. > :01:48.On Sundays they say just 40% of the plan work force have shown up.
:01:48. > :01:52.We should not have to use the army, but through it route falls and
:01:52. > :01:57.ability to fulfil its contractual obligations, the army has been
:01:57. > :02:03.called in by the government. military already had a central role
:02:03. > :02:06.in the operation. HMS Bulwark will be offshore throughout, but the
:02:06. > :02:11.Ministry of Defence confirmed they are taking on extra work to make up
:02:11. > :02:14.the shortfall left by G4S. We are getting on with the job of working
:02:14. > :02:19.with them as they will still provide a significant number of
:02:20. > :02:25.guards was security so we will continue to work with them to
:02:25. > :02:29.insure we can provide the security that we need. Dorset police are
:02:29. > :02:33.also supplying officers' to plug the gaps that Olympic sites, but
:02:33. > :02:37.because Weymouth council employed are different contractor, security
:02:37. > :02:43.elsewhere in the town will not be affected. Thames Valley Police have
:02:43. > :02:47.been called Arne on the Berkshire border and in Surrey, extra
:02:47. > :02:52.officers were drafted into Cycling venues. The force says that from
:02:52. > :02:56.today they are no longer affected by the problems at G4S. G4S say
:02:56. > :02:59.they hope to have enough personnel to relieve all police in coming
:02:59. > :03:02.days. Thousands of NHS staff in the South
:03:02. > :03:06.West could be facing pay cuts after a group of Hospital Trusts got
:03:06. > :03:09.together to put forward a cost cutting plan. The consortium of 20
:03:09. > :03:12.hospitals includes Poole, Bournemouth and Salisbury. In a
:03:13. > :03:15.leaked document, pay cuts of up to 5% have been proposed for doctors,
:03:15. > :03:18.nurses and other staff, although the lowest paid workers would be
:03:18. > :03:22.exempt. One suggested option is to sack staff who refused to accept
:03:22. > :03:31.new lower pay contracts. These were the views of people outside Poole
:03:31. > :03:35.hospital. They are stretched, stress and
:03:35. > :03:40.overwork as it is. They are trying to do the best work they can with
:03:40. > :03:44.the conditions at the moment. I think that would make matters worse.
:03:44. > :03:50.They probably have their own families to support. The jobs these
:03:50. > :03:56.people do in hospitals are amazing. It is really wrong. You don't see
:03:56. > :03:58.MPs or bankers taking pay cuts. As service like the NHS which is vital
:03:58. > :04:01.for the community and country should not be cut.
:04:01. > :04:04.A little earlier I spoke to Joanne Kaye, the South West Regional
:04:04. > :04:07.Secretary for UNISON, the union representing many health workers. I
:04:07. > :04:15.began by asking her why pay shouldn't be cut in areas with a
:04:15. > :04:21.lower cost of living? It will be people working in front line
:04:21. > :04:25.services to patients, people working on 247 shifts that will be
:04:25. > :04:31.most affected. Some of the work that we have done show that around
:04:31. > :04:35.80% of patient contact is done by the lowest-paid staff on bands 1-4.
:04:35. > :04:40.It is likely it will be the lowest paid most badly affected by
:04:40. > :04:45.proposals. The trust themselves are saying that, if this is the case
:04:45. > :04:48.and it has to go through and they have got to reduce costs, one way
:04:48. > :04:54.of doing it is cutting pay otherwise it means cutting jobs,
:04:54. > :04:59.doesn't it? Their last year's figures show that the trust over
:04:59. > :05:03.all art �62 million in the black. Many of them have turned around
:05:03. > :05:07.serious financial positions to being in a better place. They have
:05:07. > :05:11.done that by working with staff in the trust to make sure they are
:05:11. > :05:16.efficient. The problem is, they may lose the goodwill of staff that
:05:16. > :05:21.will allow them to make efficiency savings which means services to
:05:21. > :05:27.patients would be affected. Isn't it fair to say that pay has got to
:05:27. > :05:31.affect cost of living? Hasn't a pay cut to reflect that and the public
:05:31. > :05:36.sector? The South West does not have a lower cost of living than
:05:36. > :05:41.the south-east. Families are struggling and there cut to cost-
:05:41. > :05:46.of-living could send them over the edge. These 20 trusts that have got
:05:46. > :05:51.together are clearly stelae in their resolve, aren't they? Yes, so
:05:51. > :05:55.are we. Trade unions that represent workers across the NHS are
:05:56. > :05:58.determined to defend conditions and defend patients.
:05:58. > :06:00.Meanwhile one social services department is working out how to
:06:00. > :06:03.recover from the consequences of cutting pay. Southampton Council
:06:03. > :06:06.has admitted it lost more than a third of children's services staff
:06:06. > :06:10.during last year's industrial dispute. Today they held an open
:06:10. > :06:20.day to try to fill the vacancies. Our Political Editor Peter Henley
:06:20. > :06:20.
:06:20. > :06:25.reports. Good social workers are not easy to
:06:25. > :06:29.find. The open day in Southampton was popular with graduates, but
:06:29. > :06:33.they have a shortage of experienced that. Social workers were among
:06:33. > :06:38.those on strike last year after a pay cut Conservatives said would
:06:38. > :06:43.protect jobs. Many left for more money in neighbouring authorities.
:06:43. > :06:48.It is unfortunate we have had so many at once. In the last six to 12
:06:48. > :06:53.months we have lost more staff then we would like. We have been able to
:06:53. > :06:59.replace those of valuable agency workers, but that has left us with
:06:59. > :07:03.30% of our posts vacant. After the Baby P case, schools and charities
:07:03. > :07:07.are being extra careful dealing with youngsters. Councils are
:07:07. > :07:12.struggling dealing with up to a third more referrals.
:07:12. > :07:16.Local authorities need experience staff most and they don't hesitate
:07:16. > :07:20.to pay more to poach the staff they need.
:07:20. > :07:24.This open day was Southampton's way of fighting back, getting
:07:24. > :07:28.applicants from as far away as Manchester and York. They usually
:07:28. > :07:33.think it is child-protection taking children away, but it is completely
:07:33. > :07:37.different. You are working with emotions, vulnerable people I want
:07:37. > :07:41.to deliver the best service. This department has a majority of social
:07:41. > :07:50.workers with less than two years' experience. They believe that by
:07:50. > :07:56.hiring the latest graduates they can build a fresh, new team.
:07:56. > :08:02.It is 11 days to go until the start of the Olympic Games. As we have
:08:02. > :08:07.seen, that athletes have started to arrive at venues. The Olympic Torch
:08:07. > :08:15.Relay carries on, this is a 59 and it has moved from Hampshire into
:08:15. > :08:19.his Sussex. Tony Husband is waiting for it now.
:08:19. > :08:25.Day 59 and the crowds keep coming to see this remarkable Olympic
:08:25. > :08:29.Torch Relay. Look at the same here tonight. Normally home to Sussex
:08:30. > :08:36.County Cricket Club, they have had great seems bound Leah celebrating
:08:36. > :08:41.cricketing success. Tonight the hometown boy is, the result kicks
:08:41. > :08:46.ass and a -- entertaining the crowd. A local woman from Worthing is
:08:46. > :08:50.going to be lighting the cauldron. The day started with the torch in
:08:50. > :09:00.Hampshire, took in cultural landmarks and the famous old
:09:00. > :09:03.
:09:03. > :09:08.football stadium. The Lord Mayor dance, children sang
:09:08. > :09:13.and the Olympic torch started its journey in the hands of John
:09:13. > :09:18.Jenkins. He has been supporting the club here for half a century. What
:09:18. > :09:23.was going through your mind? don't know, I think my mind was
:09:23. > :09:29.blank. The rain was not doing the runners any favours as a torch
:09:29. > :09:34.headed to Petersfield. Then down the A27 to Midhurst where Susan her
:09:34. > :09:41.bed enjoyed well deserved cuddles. Bennett was on to Petworth with
:09:41. > :09:45.hundreds of cheering youngsters. A young carer, Ryan, carried the
:09:45. > :09:51.torch into the sculpture park. first I didn't realise how big it
:09:51. > :09:55.was unknown nearer to the moment I felt very proud and very lucky.
:09:55. > :10:00.former chairman of the sports charity created his own living
:10:00. > :10:06.sculpture. In Chester, there were big crowds and more dancing and
:10:06. > :10:11.some very happy torch bearers. sea of people was incredible.
:10:11. > :10:17.Absolutely brilliant. The streets were lined. I have never smiled and
:10:18. > :10:23.had so many people say hello. It was brilliant. In bulk the Regis,
:10:23. > :10:28.the torch was carried by Sally Gunnell. There were huge and
:10:28. > :10:33.enthusiastic crowds and Arundel and plenty of cheers for Claire Forbes
:10:33. > :10:40.from Crawley who lost both her legs after contracting meningitis. It
:10:40. > :10:48.might have been a wet day, but it has not dampened the Olympic spirit.
:10:48. > :10:51.Plenty of rain in Hove today but the crowd ignoring that. Robin
:10:51. > :10:55.Cousins figure-skating gold medallist, one of the last torch-
:10:55. > :10:58.bearer us today, will hope Elysee the cauldron it later in the
:10:58. > :11:03.programme. We will join you then.
:11:03. > :11:05.Billions of pounds will be invested in the south's railways. An
:11:05. > :11:07.electrified link from Southampton to the Midlands could transform
:11:07. > :11:10.passenger services. It could also dramatically decrease the amount of
:11:10. > :11:12.freight on the roads. And there's more. Our Transport Correspondent,
:11:12. > :11:15.Paul Clifton, is here. Talk us through the details.
:11:15. > :11:18.What we're getting is an electric rail spine the length of the
:11:18. > :11:21.country. We already knew the diesel Great Western line would be
:11:21. > :11:23.electrified. Today we learned the busy route from Southampton to the
:11:23. > :11:29.Midlands would be electrified too. Including the disused east-west
:11:29. > :11:32.route from Oxford. A new link from the west into Heathrow is confirmed.
:11:32. > :11:38.This opens up a huge range of options for passenger journeys from
:11:38. > :11:40.the south. It could also pave the way for a steady increase in
:11:40. > :11:45.freight going by rail from Southampton docks, taking lorries
:11:46. > :11:55.off the roads. It is all due to happen by 2019 which is, of course,
:11:55. > :12:01.well past the next general election. It is five to seven years away. If
:12:01. > :12:05.it is fully electrified maybe that will mean a move away from diesel
:12:05. > :12:09.to electric and that time frame. think it shows the government is
:12:09. > :12:13.intent on doing major projects that a lot of people in industry have
:12:13. > :12:15.been saying for many years is needed.
:12:15. > :12:17.The government says the money will come from above-inflation fare
:12:17. > :12:20.increases and from as-yet unspecified savings in the railway.
:12:20. > :12:23.Now the platforms at Waterloo station will be made longer as well,
:12:23. > :12:25.to take longer commuter trains. And there's a suggestion that all
:12:25. > :12:31.electric third rails across southern England, could eventually
:12:31. > :12:37.be replaced with overhead wires. For that, every train would have to
:12:37. > :12:40.be modified. Add that to the work underway already at Reading, and
:12:40. > :12:43.new intercity trains there, and we are looking at billions of pounds
:12:43. > :12:48.in this region. A transformation of the railway and genuinely very
:12:48. > :12:50.exciting. A decision on a wind farm on the
:12:51. > :12:55.Isle of Wight will be made by councillors tonight. Planning
:12:55. > :12:58.officers have recommended a refusal. They say putting turbines at Wellow
:12:58. > :13:01.will have too great an impact on the landscape, and on the people
:13:01. > :13:05.living nearby. But the developer, Infinergy, says it is a suitable
:13:05. > :13:13.location. Still to come in this evening's

:13:22. > :13:26.own song. A year-long pilot scheme to protect
:13:26. > :13:29.women from partners with a violent history starts in Wiltshire today.
:13:29. > :13:34.It's become known as Clare's Law - after Clare Wood, a woman who was
:13:34. > :13:39.killed by a former boyfriend. Wiltshire is among four places to
:13:39. > :13:43.put the new law into practice. The Home Office says each week two
:13:43. > :13:46.women are killed by partners and ex-partners.
:13:46. > :13:51.The first results of the 2011 census show that the population of
:13:51. > :13:56.South East England grew by more than 7% in a decade. It remains the
:13:56. > :13:59.largest region in England with over 8.5 million people. The South West
:13:59. > :14:02.now has more than five million residents. Christchurch still has
:14:02. > :14:06.the greatest proportion of people over retirement age - it's 30% of
:14:06. > :14:11.the people who live there. Once again, Portsmouth is the most
:14:11. > :14:14.densely populated city outside London.
:14:14. > :14:17.Plans have been revealed for a new outdoor events arena on
:14:17. > :14:21.Bournemouth's waterfront. It would be built on the site occupied by
:14:21. > :14:23.the former IMAX cinema. The borough council says the arena could be
:14:23. > :14:28.used for everything from extreme sports to performances by the
:14:28. > :14:38.Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. Members of the public have until
:14:38. > :14:38.
:14:38. > :14:43.the 10th of August to give their views on the scheme.
:14:43. > :14:46.Earlier than normal because we are awaiting the arrival of the torch
:14:46. > :14:52.at the cricket ground and Alexis is here.
:14:52. > :14:56.It has been a bit wet for the torch, but there is a hint that we might
:14:56. > :14:59.see summertime next week. High pressure building in.
:14:59. > :15:01.Robert Stidworthy captured a yacht and crew leaving Ocean Village in
:15:02. > :15:09.Southampton under grey skies. And Loraine Pitt took this photo of
:15:09. > :15:12.two woodpeckers enjoying the rain two woodpeckers enjoying the rain
:15:12. > :15:20.in Three Legged Cross in Dorset. The torch journey this morning did
:15:20. > :15:24.have a damp start and a few places. Actually, this ferrets were highly
:15:24. > :15:30.and tonight the showers will fade away. We will see coastal fog and
:15:30. > :15:36.hilltop mist over the South Downs. A mild night to come with a low of
:15:36. > :15:40.14 to 16 Celsius. Tomorrow is a better day despite murky conditions
:15:40. > :15:49.first thing. We may have drizzle in places, but it should stay dry for
:15:49. > :15:54.most of us. In the sunshine there will be a high of 21 Celsius.
:15:54. > :16:01.Better news for the torch which starts out here tomorrow it should
:16:01. > :16:07.be a dry start with cloud around. What can we expect tomorrow night,
:16:07. > :16:12.it it is a repeat performance of tonight. A dry night for most of us
:16:12. > :16:16.with showers around. There is a band of rain did the West with
:16:16. > :16:21.another mild night to come. Wednesday, that is when the weather
:16:21. > :16:26.front will whisk its wake Eastwards Clearing of to the Continent. It
:16:26. > :16:31.should be an improving picture with Shell was dotted about. Longer
:16:31. > :16:36.spells of rain at times and thundery showers possible on
:16:36. > :16:39.Thursday. By Friday it is hoped that high pressure will build in
:16:39. > :16:44.from the Atlantic meaning that Friday will start wet, but it will
:16:44. > :16:50.improve as the day wears on. Sunshine by the end of the day and
:16:50. > :16:56.the wind remains light. Here is a summary. Murky conditions tomorrow
:16:56. > :17:00.morning, sunny spells by that afternoon and a warm day to come.
:17:00. > :17:06.Wednesday will see a few showers dotted about with longer spells of
:17:06. > :17:11.rain. Thundery showers on Thursday, a damp start on Friday that an
:17:11. > :17:15.improving picture. Thank you very much for that. In a
:17:16. > :17:19.moment we would join Tony in Hove as the last runner comes into like
:17:19. > :17:22.the cauldron. Dani Sinha has been keeping an eye
:17:22. > :17:24.on the social media sites and she joins us know. So, what have people
:17:24. > :17:28.been talking about today? Rain dominating most of your
:17:28. > :17:34.conversations online today. This was the soggy scene in Bognor
:17:34. > :17:38.Regis. Just look how much rain there was. So much so the cameraman
:17:38. > :17:43.had to stop to wipe his lens. And the weather wasn't much better in
:17:43. > :17:45.North Bersted. Plenty of waterproofs and umbrellas on show
:17:45. > :17:52.there. As always, people of all ages came
:17:52. > :17:55.out to welcome the torch. These are pupils from the City of Portsmouth
:17:55. > :17:56.Girls' School who were up early in Portsmouth to line the route.
:17:56. > :17:59.Portsmouth to line the route. Students from Midhurst Rother
:17:59. > :18:02.College came out in force too, armed with their flags. And the
:18:02. > :18:05.rain didn't seem to put off staff and patients at Midhurst Community
:18:05. > :18:07.Hospital who enjoyed seeing the torch go past their area.
:18:07. > :18:11.Well, considering the weather has been pretty appalling, it's amazing
:18:11. > :18:17.to see these crowds in Arundel. I think this probably rivals crowds
:18:17. > :18:21.we've seen before. And a multi- storey car park in Worthing was a
:18:21. > :18:25.favourite vantage point among spectators. Let's get a flavour of
:18:25. > :18:28.your tweets again mainly focusing on the weather.

:19:27. > :19:34.cities on the South coast. Rachael Canter has some of the highlights.
:19:34. > :19:37.A jam-packed weekend of sightseeing. Huge crowds in Christchurch and the
:19:37. > :19:44.noisy reception in Brockenhurst before heading to the Isle of Wight
:19:44. > :19:54.for a ride on the chairlift. Three Newport with Sheila Ingram. It is
:19:54. > :19:58.absolutely fantastic. 1, 2, 3! Spectators were in fine voice at
:19:58. > :20:04.Osborne House. Before Ellen McArthur delivered the torch back
:20:04. > :20:09.to the ferry. It was a real honour to hold that because it is a bigger
:20:09. > :20:15.Olympic emblem. A huge welcome in Southampton where 12 year-old Kyle

:21:13. > :21:19.little better about legacy because that is so important for the
:21:19. > :21:23.Olympic Games. It was a special day for two schools today. Arundel
:21:23. > :21:31.Church of England School and St Philip's primary school. They had
:21:31. > :21:38.their moment to shine in Sussex. From the playing field, in the art
:21:38. > :21:43.room, during history lessons and music classes. The Olympics are
:21:43. > :21:48.everywhere at this school and today the torches in town. Every child
:21:48. > :21:52.has been excited because they have been inspired by topics at school.
:21:52. > :21:57.They are looking forward and learning from it. Anticipation has
:21:57. > :22:02.been building for weeks. I think lots of people will be cheering,
:22:02. > :22:12.lots of happy faces. For how quiet to be singing on the day is really
:22:12. > :22:21.
:22:21. > :22:25.The song is called aspire to inspire. It is kind of like you are
:22:25. > :22:35.going for your goal in life and how you will spread your wings and try
:22:35. > :22:49.
:22:49. > :22:53.It is getting closer and we can bring it before 7pm. The last
:22:53. > :23:00.torch-bearer is making their way and we will give you live pictures
:23:00. > :23:03.in a moment. Let's have one more torch-bearer story. Chris Lynch was
:23:03. > :23:08.a policeman and missed his Sussex five years ago. He threw himself
:23:08. > :23:18.into the local community wanted to set up a youth club, but did not
:23:18. > :23:35.
:23:35. > :23:41.have a venue so he and his friends I was a policeman for 30 years the
:23:41. > :23:47.move down here about five years ago. I am going to be a torch-bearer, it
:23:47. > :23:53.is fantastic. I was nominated by my colleagues in the youth forum for
:23:53. > :23:58.my work with the youth bus. We wanted premises and that is still
:23:58. > :24:04.the long-term aim, but out of the blue found this burst so we drove
:24:04. > :24:11.it down and the prisoners decorated it as you see. There are lots of
:24:11. > :24:21.provisions for games and they do lots of craft. We get 8-13 year-old
:24:21. > :24:27.son they are great. They love it and are willing to help.
:24:27. > :24:32.Another torch-bearer, Amy Wilton, a girl who was diagnosed with
:24:32. > :24:36.diabetes and Hastie inject insulin four times a day. It did not stop
:24:36. > :24:42.her bouncing back in life. She is going to college in September and
:24:42. > :24:52.she was chosen as a youth ambassador for a diabetes charity.
:24:52. > :24:55.
:24:55. > :25:01.She had a very special moment and here is her story.
:25:01. > :25:07.There are diabetes Research Foundation asked my dad to do a
:25:07. > :25:13.speech about having a child with type 1 diabetes. I was 12 at the
:25:13. > :25:20.time and I said, if you are talking about me, why can't I say it? So
:25:20. > :25:24.they were happy for me to do the speech myself. I was fortunate in
:25:24. > :25:29.2090 be the only UK diabetic to go to the children's Congress in
:25:29. > :25:33.Washington DC. We were invited to the White House and President Obama
:25:33. > :25:39.showed his support and why more funding needs to be set aside for
:25:39. > :25:44.research. Basically, everything you eat you have to do a blood test
:25:44. > :25:50.before and work out the correct ratio of insulin to the amount of
:25:50. > :25:55.carbohydrate. If I go art I have to think, do I have snacks, tablets,
:25:55. > :26:01.my insolent and my phone to contact my parents. My mum nominated me. I
:26:02. > :26:09.am running in Midhurst on 16th July. I am nervous and excited because I
:26:09. > :26:16.am clumsy, but it should be fantastic. Aymes big moment came
:26:16. > :26:21.today. Let's take a look at her running with the torch. You can see
:26:21. > :26:29.the crowds really turned out. Wonderful stuff. Look at the smile
:26:29. > :26:33.on her face. Lovely fair Amy. Good luck and she moves on to college.
:26:33. > :26:37.The music is rolling and I think we might have a torch bearer on the
:26:38. > :26:47.way. Let's look down in the corridor and I'm hoping we can see
:26:48. > :26:49.
:26:49. > :26:59.our final torch-bearer of the day. Then she is. This is Karen West.
:26:59. > :27:03.
:27:03. > :27:09.Karen is from Worthing and she is a nursing sister. She looks after
:27:09. > :27:15.cancer patients. She is making her way down in front of a packed crowd
:27:15. > :27:20.at the County Ground in Hove. Look at that scene. Superb stuff. She
:27:20. > :27:27.will get on the stage and we will have a countdown. I tell you what,
