:00:10. > :00:12.Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's
:00:12. > :00:15.programme: A coroner calls for changes to the
:00:15. > :00:25.law after three elderly people die in separate fires without working
:00:25. > :00:25.
:00:25. > :00:29.smoke alarms. If it's heartbreaking for them to think that if not for
:00:29. > :00:35.the small cost of the smoke alarm that death could have been
:00:35. > :00:38.presented fulsome -- prevented. And w hear for the first time from
:00:38. > :00:41.Reading's new Russian owner who tells us he will be able to build
:00:41. > :00:48.on the club's success. We think we can become the top 10 club Inter
:00:48. > :00:51.nationally. For Isle of Wight farmers call for more
:00:51. > :00:54.of their milk to be sold on the island instead of supermarkets
:00:54. > :00:57.importing it. And how to be a knight and do it right. Just how
:00:57. > :01:07.easy was it for 15th century nobles to settle their differences with
:01:07. > :01:10.
:01:10. > :01:13.cold steel? A coroner has called for a change
:01:13. > :01:18.in the law to ensure vulnerable people living in private rented
:01:18. > :01:21.accommodation have working smoke detectors. Penny Schofield made the
:01:21. > :01:25.comments after the deaths of three elderly people in West Sussex in
:01:25. > :01:30.two years. In September 2010 a 64- year-old woman died after a fire at
:01:30. > :01:34.her home in Penstone Park Lancing. Her smoke alarm had no battery. In
:01:34. > :01:39.March this year a 65-year-old-man died in Gratwicke Road Worthing.
:01:39. > :01:43.Again there was no working smoke detector. Later that month, there
:01:43. > :01:45.was a similar incident in Selsey in which an 87-year-old man died. The
:01:45. > :01:49.coroner said tougher measures are needed to ensure detectors were
:01:49. > :01:52.wired to the mains. However, private landlords and the
:01:52. > :02:02.Government said they had concerns over the costs of such a move.
:02:02. > :02:02.
:02:02. > :02:05.Roisin Gauson is in Selsey for us tonight.
:02:05. > :02:08.Three deaths. Three letters asking for a change in the laws governing
:02:08. > :02:12.smoke detectors. The most recent was penned following the death of
:02:12. > :02:15.87-year-old Trevor Barwick. He died in a fire in the ground floor flat
:02:15. > :02:18.of the building just behind me. This morning I spoke with
:02:18. > :02:22.firefighters who were called to the scene. They remember one clear
:02:22. > :02:32.image. They entered the flat and found the smoke detector hanging
:02:32. > :02:36.
:02:36. > :02:39.from the ceiling. Its batteries were nowhere to be seen. Penny
:02:39. > :02:44.Schofield has resided over three inquests which she says it could
:02:44. > :02:50.have been avoided. In at least two of the three cases, it is quite
:02:50. > :02:55.clear that the individuals tried to escape the fire but it was just too
:02:55. > :02:59.late. There is great public awareness around smoke detectors,
:02:59. > :03:03.but it is not filtering through to those who really need this
:03:03. > :03:07.protection. Therefore I feel that that responsibility should be taken
:03:07. > :03:16.off the individual and put with the person who is renting the property
:03:16. > :03:21.out. 65-year-old Peder Leicester died in a blaze at his home. He is
:03:22. > :03:29.one of three pensioners to lose his life ever an 18th month period in a
:03:29. > :03:32.fire. None of them had working smoke detectors. Now pressure is
:03:32. > :03:38.mounting on the Government to give tenants a fighting chance of
:03:38. > :03:43.escaping before it is too late. have a moral obligation to save
:03:43. > :03:47.people. We would like to think that the landlord would have a moral
:03:47. > :03:50.obligation to look after their talent and it is just one small
:03:50. > :03:55.thing they could do, putting in smoke alarms, and we would support
:03:55. > :03:59.any legislation that would assist that are happening. Firefighters
:03:59. > :04:05.will come and carry out free home safety checks and make of
:04:05. > :04:12.honourable people a priority, but this coroner wants Lem Lords to be
:04:12. > :04:18.accountable by law. -- once landlord to be accountable by law.
:04:18. > :04:21.I have seen so many family is devastated by the loss of their
:04:21. > :04:30.loved one and it is difficult for them to dig -- deal with the fact
:04:30. > :04:33.that the death could have been prevented.
:04:33. > :04:36.The Department for Communities and Local Government were unable to put
:04:36. > :04:39.anyone up for interview today, but in a statement Minister Andrew
:04:39. > :04:42.Stunnell said too many laws and regulations would force up rents
:04:42. > :04:44.for tenants and it was important to get the balance right. Building
:04:44. > :04:47.regulations already require all new dwellings to have smoke alarms
:04:47. > :04:56.hard-wired in, and as a result, they say accidental fire deaths
:04:56. > :05:04.have halved in the last 20 years. So what's the view of private
:05:04. > :05:10.landlords about a possible change in the law? They do not want any
:05:10. > :05:17.laws brought am that say that smoke detectors have to be hard-wired in.
:05:17. > :05:23.-- brought in. They want to see batteries that last up to 10 years.
:05:23. > :05:29.The battery device is very quick and chip -- cheap to fit. A wired
:05:29. > :05:36.in one requires an electrician and a Certificate of once it is
:05:36. > :05:46.finished. It is much more involved. As an interim or even a prominent
:05:46. > :05:51.City Jewett -- Samaria, there should be a tenure battery life. --
:05:51. > :05:57.tenure battery life. The coroner says that no matter how long a
:05:57. > :06:06.battery lasts, they can still be taken out, and the hard wiring law
:06:06. > :06:10.would reduce significantly the chances of that happening.

:06:18. > :06:21.owner of a Premier League club, with a supermodel wife and a father
:06:21. > :06:30.who is a Russian tycoon. In his first major television interview he
:06:30. > :06:35.told me about his plans for the future of Reading Football Club.
:06:35. > :06:39.And an official handover from the old regime to the new. The football
:06:39. > :06:45.club has been built up, and now comes the challenge to build
:06:45. > :06:49.further on the success. We really think we can become the top 10
:06:49. > :06:53.clubs in the UK financially, in terms of what Reading would make
:06:53. > :06:59.generally. They is this football club a plaything were a serious
:06:59. > :07:07.business venture? You cannot look at it and the other way. It is a
:07:07. > :07:11.business. -- you cannot look at it in any other way. You have to look
:07:11. > :07:16.after it. For me, I guess it is the age where you want to grow things
:07:16. > :07:23.and create something, so for me, the creation is something bigger
:07:23. > :07:33.and it makes me enthusiastic and it is really driving it will stop he

:08:03. > :08:13.manager? The business part, yes I can boss people around a little bit,
:08:13. > :08:18.but in terms of the Football part of its, I will have a similar

:08:30. > :08:38.tomorrow, what of the inevitable comparisons with Roman Abramovich?
:08:38. > :08:44.I do not think there is anything to compare, to be honest. He has been
:08:44. > :08:54.around for a number of years and we are just starting. The last half a
:08:54. > :09:00.year was good for everybody. I just hope we can keep going. Thank you
:09:00. > :09:07.very much for talking to us. Thank you very much. And you will be able
:09:07. > :09:15.to see a more detailed interview tonight on the BBC's Board website.

:09:18. > :09:20.South killed in Afghanistan were repatriated through RAF Brize
:09:20. > :09:22.Norton in Oxfordshire today. 26- year-old Lieutenant Andrew
:09:22. > :09:25.Chesterman of 3rd Battalion the Rifles came from Guildford, and

:09:42. > :09:44.An outbreak of the stomach bug E- coli among children at a nursery in
:09:44. > :09:47.Basingstoke has caused the local authority to launch an
:09:47. > :09:50.investigation as to how it occurred. Kiddi Caru in Beggarwood has
:09:50. > :09:53.voluntarily closed after two children fell ill and another had a
:09:53. > :09:56.suspected case of the illness. All three are now recovering. There is
:09:56. > :09:59.no evidence the nursery is the source of the infection. Deep
:09:59. > :10:04.cleaning is being carried out, and it will reopen as soon as
:10:04. > :10:08.environmental health officers say they are happy with its condition.
:10:08. > :10:13.Still to come in this evening's South Today: We'll look at how the
:10:13. > :10:17.Bank Holiday weekend weather is shaping up. And if you think it is
:10:17. > :10:27.a warm in shorts and T-shirts, be prepared to battle it out here in
:10:27. > :10:29.
:10:29. > :10:32.the Isle of Wight in full armour. The family of an 85-year-old great-
:10:32. > :10:34.grandmother murdered in her home in Southampton have described the
:10:34. > :10:37.death as "extremely cruel" and a "pointless act" against an elderly
:10:37. > :10:40.and defenceless woman. Delia Hughes died after suffering several blows
:10:40. > :10:41.to her head. Two people arrested on suspicion of murder continue to be
:10:41. > :10:44.questioned, as Chris Robinson reports.
:10:44. > :10:47.Described as having a heart of gold, this is great-grandmother Delia
:10:47. > :10:52.Hughes. The 85-year-old was discovered inside her flat in
:10:53. > :10:56.Southampton's affluent Ocean Village on Saturday evening. She
:10:56. > :11:01.had suffered several blows to the head. Originally from Blackpool,
:11:01. > :11:04.Mrs Hughes has lived in Southampton for 17 years. Today, her devastated
:11:04. > :11:14.family paid an emotional tribute to the woman they described as the
:11:14. > :11:15.
:11:15. > :11:25.kindest person anyone could wish meet.
:11:25. > :11:31.
:11:31. > :11:34.Two neighbours who lived above Mrs Hughes' flat in Atlantic Close have
:11:34. > :11:36.been arrested on suspicion of her murder. It's been revealed they are
:11:36. > :11:38.37-year-old Tim Tritta, who was arrested on Sunday, and his
:11:38. > :11:41.pregnant 29-year-old girlfriend, Crystal O'Dell, who was detained
:11:41. > :11:43.yesterday. Detectives have been given an extra 24-hours to question
:11:43. > :11:53.Mr Tritta. Meanwhile, the search for evidence, including the murder
:11:53. > :11:54.
:11:54. > :11:57.weapon, continues. Passenger aircraft have made 28
:11:57. > :11:59.emergency landings in the last two years because they were running low
:11:59. > :12:02.on fuel, according to the Civil Aviation Authority. They included a
:12:02. > :12:04.full emergency at Southampton and two Virgin Atlantic flights to
:12:04. > :12:11.Gatwick that had to switch to another airport. Our Transport
:12:11. > :12:15.Correspondent Paul Clifton is here. This sounds unusual.
:12:15. > :12:17.When a plane is running low on fuel, the pilot warns air traffic control
:12:17. > :12:20.and it is given immediate priority over other aircraft to land.
:12:20. > :12:22.According to the Civil Aviation Authority, 28 incidents in two
:12:22. > :12:25.years include an Embraer jet diverted to Southampton. When it
:12:25. > :12:30.couldn't land at once it declared a Mayday, that's a full emergency,
:12:30. > :12:33.because fuel was so low. Two Virgin Atlantic flights coming
:12:33. > :12:37.in to land at Gatwick in January were affected by bad weather. They
:12:37. > :12:40.were delayed and low on fuel, and had to transfer to Stansted to land
:12:40. > :12:44.more quickly. Don't planes have to carry enough fuel to cope with
:12:44. > :12:47.things like blocked runways and bad weather? Often, like the Virgin
:12:47. > :12:52.planes, the cause is a diversion to another airport because of bad
:12:52. > :12:56.weather. It's up to an aircraft captain how much fuel he takes on
:12:56. > :12:58.board. Legally, pilots entering British airspace have to carry
:12:58. > :13:01.enough fuel to complete their journey, plus enough in reserve to
:13:01. > :13:10.allow them to reach an alternative airport, plus enough to allow for
:13:10. > :13:19.30 minutes circling before being However, adding more fuel adds more
:13:19. > :13:22.weight, and therefore more fuel is burned, costing more money.
:13:22. > :13:25.Aviation is having a very tough time in the current economic
:13:25. > :13:31.climate and the pilots' union says crews are under pressure to keep
:13:31. > :13:35.costs down as far as possible. airline might have an aggressive
:13:35. > :13:41.your policy, but the risk of that can be low if other airlines do not
:13:41. > :13:46.have that policy, if they are carrying more reserved fuel. If the
:13:46. > :13:51.aircraft is able to push the other airplanes out of the way, that we
:13:51. > :13:55.have a knock on effects and if the other good things have low fuel
:13:55. > :14:00.situations, it can be an escalating issue. A spokesman for Virgin
:14:00. > :14:10.Atlantic said that the fuel management procedures exceed all

:14:16. > :14:26.total number of a fuel related images he endings in the two years
:14:26. > :14:29.before that was slightly higher. When you do your shopping, do you
:14:29. > :14:32.ask the question, whereabouts has the milk come from? Well, dairy
:14:32. > :14:35.farmers on the Isle of Wight are urging consumers to do just that.
:14:35. > :14:38.And here's why. Here's a pint of milk produced and sold on the
:14:38. > :14:42.island. Here's one produced on the mainland and shipped over to the
:14:42. > :14:45.island. The farmers say 80 % of the milk they produce is shipped off
:14:45. > :14:48.the island on ferries at the same time as milk from the mainland is
:14:48. > :14:55.imported. Briony Leyland reports on the campaign to urge consumers to
:14:55. > :15:00.think local. Justin Birch is a man with a plan
:15:00. > :15:08.and he needs to be. With current milk prices, he reckons he loses
:15:08. > :15:12.about 5p for every litre is cows produce. His hope is that
:15:12. > :15:18.processing and selling all of the Isle of Wight smelled close to home
:15:18. > :15:21.will give a vital boost to the island's farmers. The problem at
:15:22. > :15:28.the moment is there is a lot of cheap milk that is coming over and
:15:28. > :15:33.it has a lot of the discount stuff that the supermarkets is selling.
:15:33. > :15:40.That needs to be ousted and then our milk can sit alongside the
:15:40. > :15:44.supermarket standard milk. The island without dairy cows would be
:15:44. > :15:49.quite a big place. That is what could happen if we keep getting
:15:49. > :15:53.milk coming in from the mainland. At the moment there are 15 dairy
:15:53. > :16:03.farmers and this time next year there could be seven. Test go is
:16:03. > :16:05.
:16:05. > :16:11.the only -- Tesco is the only supermarket to stock local milk.
:16:11. > :16:14.have got to give the public in the supermarkets the opportunity to
:16:14. > :16:18.make a choice about whether they buy milk from the island or from
:16:18. > :16:23.the mainland. They probably believe that most of the milk in the
:16:23. > :16:29.supermarkets is Ireland milk. the major supermarkets have stores
:16:29. > :16:33.on the Isle of Wight. -- most off. Some say they are willing to talk
:16:33. > :16:43.to farmers but others stress they say they -- that they are ready do
:16:43. > :16:46.
:16:46. > :16:50.He farmers have been handing out these cards, asking supermarkets to
:16:50. > :16:54.take in local milk. I would like to say that most of the milk comes
:16:54. > :17:03.from local farmers but I very much doubt it. What you pay a few extra
:17:03. > :17:11.pence a litre? Definitely. It keeps the money on the island. By paying
:17:11. > :17:14.extra your supporting the local farmers and that, that is fine.
:17:14. > :17:18.Dairy farmers feel like an endangered breed. The hope on the
:17:18. > :17:27.island is that the support from shoppers and supermarkets, they can
:17:27. > :17:32.look forward to a more secure future. We are still recovering
:17:32. > :17:36.from the local -- wonderful success of the Olympics and now we are
:17:36. > :17:40.looking forward to the Paralympics. Our expectations are going to be
:17:40. > :17:50.just as high. I think it could be a famous year for a Paralympic
:17:50. > :17:52.
:17:52. > :17:55.athletes. -- for our Paralympic athletes.
:17:55. > :17:58.It was where Team GB claimed their first gold of the 2012 Olympics,
:17:58. > :18:01.and now the Paralympic rowing team are hoping they can repeat that
:18:01. > :18:04.success at Eton Dorney in the next few weeks. The team are hotly
:18:04. > :18:07.tipped medal favourites and have been training hard ahead of their
:18:07. > :18:09.events at the Paralympics. Today Emma Vardy watched them in action
:18:09. > :18:13.at the lake in Caversham. Training with an audience as the cameras
:18:13. > :18:18.were allowed in one more time. For make, this will be his first
:18:18. > :18:23.Paralympics. He only got into a boat just over two years, taking up
:18:23. > :18:29.rowing after losing his legs in an explosion while serving with the
:18:29. > :18:32.army in Afghanistan. It is an emotional three years from
:18:32. > :18:38.virtually serving in Afghanistan and being in hospital to crawling
:18:38. > :18:42.back to full health and recovery. This is a reward for that. Near it

:18:47. > :18:51.caught with the belief that his injuries would not stop him taking
:18:51. > :18:56.part in sport. I set out very early on with the determination and the
:18:56. > :19:00.attitude that this was not going to change how I approach to life. If
:19:00. > :19:07.anything it was going to drive me on to achieve and two more in my
:19:07. > :19:13.life. Meanwhile, and the four man boat, this woman from Oxford is the
:19:13. > :19:20.voice driving the screw on. She is an able-bodied athlete chosen for
:19:20. > :19:27.this mixed crew. I remember thinking, what can they do? The
:19:27. > :19:35.difference is that I can still demand as much as I was on an able-
:19:35. > :19:41.bodied crew. One of the reasons Britain's paralympic growers are
:19:41. > :19:51.such contenders, it is because of this centre here. Many of the
:19:51. > :19:52.
:19:52. > :19:57.athletes will train here. Becoming AGB Roller is demanding. You sort
:19:57. > :20:00.of have to give up some things but you gain so much. Her team has
:20:00. > :20:05.already proven in their category they are the boat to beat, having
:20:05. > :20:15.won at the world champion just last year. Now they are hoping next
:20:15. > :20:17.could be Paralympic gold. Tomorrow night we'll have the goals
