:00:06. > :00:09.South Today. In tonight's programme: Public
:00:09. > :00:17.services face a further squeeze. We gauge reaction to the cuts here
:00:17. > :00:20.in the South. We were told that it would be
:00:20. > :00:23.hard-fought local governor, and it has been hard again, and guess what,
:00:23. > :00:26.had again today. Taking delivery of their flagship
:00:26. > :00:28.and showing off the South's expertise - a special ceremony in
:00:28. > :00:34.Portsmouth for the Oman Navy. Protesting to keep a facility afloat

:00:55. > :00:58.The cuts were never in any doubt, but just what will today's Spending
:00:58. > :01:01.Review mean for us here in the South? Chancellor George Osborne set
:01:01. > :01:06.out his plans for cutting another �11.5 billion from public spending
:01:06. > :01:09.today. And with just a few exceptions, such as the Health
:01:09. > :01:15.Service, most sectors of public life will face cuts. Today's overall
:01:15. > :01:18.announcement will be followed in the next few days with specific detail.
:01:18. > :01:21.But many organisations here in the South such as councils and police
:01:21. > :01:26.forces are already working out what it means for them, their staff, and
:01:26. > :01:29.their services. In a moment, we'll be getting political reaction to
:01:29. > :01:38.today's Spending Review. But first, Briony Leyland has been gauging
:01:38. > :01:42.reaction to it. Southampton city Art Gallery is one
:01:42. > :01:45.of the best places to see a heart in the South, but these days, you can't
:01:45. > :01:52.see it after three o'clock on a weekday. Council cuts mean reduced
:01:52. > :01:57.opening hours. I would expect a normal art gallery for a city of
:01:57. > :02:01.this time to be at least open from nine o'clock in the morning to five
:02:01. > :02:06.o'clock at night. Dack times at the act gallery are just one example of
:02:06. > :02:11.cuts which have seen 200 posts going at Southampton Council. The leader
:02:11. > :02:16.says that 10% reduction and ends today will put jobs at risk and
:02:16. > :02:19.services under strain. It is profoundly disappointing. It is to
:02:19. > :02:23.-- disappointing to me and my staff and will be disappointing to the
:02:23. > :02:28.people we represent. Whilst we are here to protect front-line services
:02:28. > :02:33.as best we can, this will have a real impact on them. All that in the
:02:33. > :02:36.Conservative run Bournemouth, there is optimism that front-line services
:02:36. > :02:44.can be protected. But the message to the Chancellor is that he can't keep
:02:44. > :02:49.taking and keep expecting ten holes to deliver. It does seem that local
:02:49. > :02:52.councils have taken the biggest hit. They do talk about the net effect
:02:52. > :02:56.being substantially less than 10%, but we will have to wait and see
:02:56. > :03:01.what that means. Anti-cuts campaigners say councils could do
:03:01. > :03:04.more to stand up to the Government. They need to put much more pressure
:03:04. > :03:11.on the Government to stop your steady programme, whether that is
:03:11. > :03:17.housing, benefits or whatever. -- austerity programme. Police forces
:03:17. > :03:25.face cuts to. He Chancellor's figure of around 6% is more than feared,
:03:25. > :03:31.but still hardly welcome news. Suri and Hampshire police both talk to
:03:31. > :03:35.the -- talk today about how decisions having to be made.
:03:35. > :03:39.public have the Chief Constable and let them know what they want from
:03:39. > :03:47.the police. What do they want the police not to do? Something has to
:03:47. > :03:50.give. There is no Mac -- there is no more slack in the system.
:03:50. > :03:57.planned cuts will take many organisations into uncharted waters
:03:57. > :04:03.as they think hard about the best way to face the future.
:04:03. > :04:05.We will have some -- that some people from across the South. Let's
:04:05. > :04:08.have some reaction from Westminster. Political editor Peter Henley was in
:04:08. > :04:13.the House of Commons today as the Chancellor made his statement, and
:04:13. > :04:16.afterwards sent us this report. This was a very political Spending
:04:17. > :04:20.Review, making decisions for a period after the next election and
:04:20. > :04:24.putting Labour on the spot. There were also real decisions which will
:04:24. > :04:31.make an impact on people's lies. With me are two MPs from the South
:04:31. > :04:37.of England. -- people 's lives. This may -- this renegotiation of
:04:37. > :04:40.contracts for the MoD, will that mean jobs have to go? No, there have
:04:40. > :04:46.been no announcements on that today. I am optimistic about Portsmouth's
:04:46. > :04:50.future. We have had an increase in the equipment budget spend and more
:04:50. > :04:55.money for the Armed Forces. Portsmouth has a very bright future.
:04:56. > :05:00.We will have 200,000 tonnes of warship in that harbour. It is all
:05:00. > :05:05.to be cheery about. George Osborne said money would continue for
:05:05. > :05:11.funding the Armed Forces, talking about them getting increases every
:05:11. > :05:18.year. That won't happen in local Government. Taking away public
:05:18. > :05:21.sector increases? Indeed. The cuts are coming above the cuts already in
:05:21. > :05:29.local Government funding, and that will mean a very bleak future in the
:05:29. > :05:33.immediate future for local funding overall. That will very impact how
:05:33. > :05:37.Southampton local Government is able to continue to run the very basic
:05:38. > :05:42.services that we rely on. This is asking local governance to do the
:05:42. > :05:49.dirty work of national Government, isn't it? Local governor can do
:05:49. > :05:53.more. In Portsmouth, the opposition groups, our councils didn't even get
:05:53. > :05:59.to see the budget. They couldn't comment on and on what they thought
:05:59. > :06:02.could happen. We have seen recently that there is other money out there.
:06:02. > :06:07.Tomorrow there is a big announcement on infrastructure projects. We have
:06:07. > :06:11.money available to spend the local enterprise partnerships over the
:06:11. > :06:16.cause of the next Parliament. You have got to create real jobs and
:06:16. > :06:20.grow the private sector. For every job in the public sector, we growing
:06:20. > :06:24.three in the private sector. That is what will get this country back on
:06:24. > :06:29.track. Everybody knows the difference between realising and
:06:29. > :06:35.asset making and make it work. The trouble is, what the Chancellor has
:06:35. > :06:38.done over the last three years is simply close the country down. Of
:06:38. > :06:43.course, that has meant the economy has bumped along the prop -- the
:06:43. > :06:49.bottom. We need to do more to get is investing and getting assets
:06:49. > :06:53.working. More jobs have been created since we have been in Government.
:06:53. > :06:59.Yes, we will hear more details from the Liberal Democrats, from Danny
:06:59. > :07:03.Alexander, about exactly where that infrastructure money will be spent.
:07:03. > :07:07.To find out how today's Spending Review might affect you, go to the
:07:08. > :07:10.BBC website. A Winchester woman who died in
:07:10. > :07:12.hospital eight days after giving birth to triplets had a previously
:07:12. > :07:15.undiagnosed heart condition. 34-year-old Isabel Mason gave birth
:07:15. > :07:21.to healthy triplets at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in March
:07:21. > :07:25.last year. An inquest in Winchester today recorded a verdict of death by
:07:25. > :07:29.natural causes. Four people have been jailed for
:07:29. > :07:32.life for the torture and murder of a homeless man in Southampton. Jamie
:07:32. > :07:38.Dack's body was discovered by firefighters. He had been dumped in
:07:38. > :07:43.a bin which had then been set alight. Tom Hepworth is with me now.
:07:43. > :07:46.Remind us of what happened. Jamie Dack met Lee Nicholls at the
:07:46. > :07:51.Patrick House Hostel, and through him, Donna Chalk, Ryan Woodmansey
:07:51. > :07:55.and Andrew Dwyer-Skeats. They held Jamie captive in this one-bedroomed
:07:55. > :08:01.flat and stole his laptop, hoping to sell it so they could go to a rave
:08:01. > :08:05.in Bournemouth. They also took his cashpoint card and tortured him to
:08:05. > :08:08.get his PIN number. He was attacked with baseball bats, bottles and
:08:08. > :08:12.knives before being tied up, gagged and locked in a wardrobe while they
:08:13. > :08:18.went out. They returned the following day and stabbed him to
:08:18. > :08:21.death to stop him going to police. Then they put him his body in a bin,
:08:21. > :08:26.covered him in petrol, and set it on fire. How long will his killers
:08:26. > :08:28.serve in prison? A long time. They were sentenced to a total of more
:08:28. > :08:31.than 120 years. In many circumstances, the minimum term
:08:31. > :08:36.someone convicted of murder serves is 15 years, with a reduction for
:08:36. > :08:39.pleading guilty. Lee Nicholls did so, but he'll serve 34 years, Donna
:08:39. > :08:49.Chalk will serve 25 years, Ryan Woodmansey received 30 years, and
:08:49. > :08:54.Andrew Dwyer-Skeats was sentenced to 32 years in prison. How unusual is
:08:54. > :08:57.that? Under Crown Prosecution Service guidelines, a minimum term
:08:57. > :09:00.of 30 years reflects a crime of particular seriousness. The judge
:09:00. > :09:03.has to take into account aggravating factors like intending to interfere
:09:03. > :09:07.with the course of justice, sadistic conduct and the mental or physical
:09:07. > :09:11.suffering inflicted on the victim. A man has been remanded in custody
:09:11. > :09:13.after appearing in court accused of killing a man at a house party in
:09:13. > :09:16.Newbury. Simon Velvick, who is 41, is charged with murdering
:09:16. > :09:20.42-year-old Mark Campbell. A post-mortem examination revealed
:09:20. > :09:25.that he died as a result of a brain haemorrhage. The defendant is due to
:09:25. > :09:28.appear again at Reading Crown Court in September. Nearly 1,000 lives a
:09:28. > :09:31.year are being saved by new NHS trauma centres like the one at
:09:31. > :09:35.Southampton General Hospital. The centres are designed to treat
:09:35. > :09:38.seriously injured patients involved in major accidents. Southampton is
:09:38. > :09:42.now the major trauma centre for the South and has dealt with more than
:09:42. > :09:45.230 life and death cases in its first year. Many were brought to the
:09:46. > :09:49.hospital by air ambulance which can now land at a new helipad on the
:09:49. > :09:52.site. Still to come in this evening's

:10:01. > :10:03.We meet the bobsleigher putting in the hard work to regain her fitness.
:10:03. > :10:06.Sussex Police are investigating claims of assault against an elderly
:10:06. > :10:09.resident at a care home that has since been shut down in
:10:10. > :10:12.controversial circumstances. The privately-owned Oakhurst Grange, in
:10:12. > :10:19.Crawley, was closed by BUPA after West Sussex County Council withdrew
:10:19. > :10:22.more than 50 residents because of concerns for their wellbeing. Today,
:10:22. > :10:28.a damning report from the Care Quality Commission found a series of
:10:28. > :10:35.failings including dehydrated residents being ignored by staff.
:10:35. > :10:42.Jon Hunt reports. An appalling catalogue of failure at
:10:42. > :10:46.a private run care home, where even the basic care needs were not met.
:10:46. > :10:52.These are very fundamental, basic things. Nutrition, the hygiene, the
:10:52. > :10:57.dignity. All of those things are fundamental to the delivery of good
:10:57. > :11:00.care. It is unacceptable. It is an acceptable to the public, it is
:11:00. > :11:06.unacceptable to care providers that are responsible and doing the job
:11:06. > :11:10.properly. That should never be allowed to happen. The CQC report
:11:10. > :11:16.reveals that a resident was found incontinent of faeces and their
:11:16. > :11:18.bedlinen was heavily soiled. The catheter bag was absolutely filled,
:11:18. > :11:24.a clear indication inspectors say that it had not been checked for
:11:24. > :11:28.hours. Iran to told inspectors be found their family member in bed at
:11:28. > :11:35.12:30 p.m. And they were soaked up to the chest in union. There were
:11:35. > :11:41.serious reports back in 2009 showing that poor care and most of all most
:11:41. > :11:44.inadequate staffing throughout the period. There is really no excuse
:11:44. > :11:49.not to have done something very dramatic to improve the state of the
:11:49. > :11:52.people in that home much earlier. The council began moving residents
:11:52. > :11:56.from the home two weeks ago because of serious concerns about their
:11:56. > :12:04.safety. The bar, which runs the home, and instead was causing it. --
:12:04. > :12:08.Gipper. The report is the first time the true extent of the offences have
:12:08. > :12:15.come to light. Lease and investigating a member of staff for
:12:15. > :12:19.assault. We identified the problem quickly. The council removed their
:12:19. > :12:28.residents from the home very swiftly. They looked to address the
:12:28. > :12:32.problem straightaway. BUPA said they worked hard to improve the home, but
:12:32. > :12:36.despite their efforts, they are sorry to say that they did not meet
:12:36. > :12:39.expectations of their residents. There were fireworks in Portsmouth
:12:40. > :12:44.today as the Royal Navy of Oman took delivery of the country's new
:12:44. > :12:48.flagship. The corvette Al Shamikh is one of three ships built by BAE
:12:48. > :12:52.Systems at the city's shipyard as part of a �400 million contract. The
:12:52. > :12:56.big export deal has helped sustain jobs at the yard where workers are
:12:56. > :13:06.waiting to find out if it will remain open in the long term. Steve

:13:22. > :13:28.contract to build the Corvette when it took over DVT shipyard in

:13:35. > :13:42.for. Very proud. The 85 strong crew will now undergo training in the UK

:14:00. > :14:03.-- PIII Corvettes in Portsmouth. We're still working through that
:14:03. > :14:05.with the Ministry of Defence. It is a very complex subject and important
:14:05. > :14:12.that we find the right solution for the Government, Navy and the
:14:12. > :14:16.company. BAe would like many more contracts like this one. But with
:14:16. > :14:21.many more nations no choosing to build their own warships, or work
:14:21. > :14:24.like this is very difficult to come by. The company says a growing part
:14:24. > :14:34.of its business is in supplying ship designs and engineering expertise to
:14:34. > :14:36.
:14:36. > :14:42.countries around the world. A life-size bronze sculpture of a
:14:42. > :14:47.polar bear skeleton has been stolen in Wiltshire. The figure, worth more
:14:47. > :14:54.than �15,000, was taken on Monday night. It was collated -- created by
:14:54. > :14:58.a local sculptor to highlight the plight of polar bears.
:14:58. > :15:04.Footprints are all that remains of this half tonne bronze bear. It took
:15:04. > :15:07.three years to make but vanished overnight. It is very shocking. We
:15:07. > :15:13.weren't expecting this to happen. You just don't expect someone to
:15:13. > :15:16.steal something as large as this, and also have a Littlemore
:15:16. > :15:21.sensitivity. We're guessing the people that took this didn't realise
:15:21. > :15:27.what this exhibit what the sculpture, was all about.
:15:27. > :15:30.sculpture is a centrepiece of the campaign to save polar bills. The
:15:30. > :15:34.skeleton is sealed and a ten tonne block of ice and they poured beer is
:15:35. > :15:37.sculpted. As the statue melts in full public view, the skeleton in
:15:37. > :15:44.the pool of water are all that remains. Least say this no
:15:44. > :15:51.opportunist crime. Due to the size and weight of the sculpture, we
:15:51. > :15:57.suspect that the device was used in order to rip the sculpture from its
:15:57. > :16:01.moving -- its moving and remove it. These kind of sculptures are often
:16:01. > :16:04.sold as scrap and melted down from a scrap value. We need the help of the
:16:04. > :16:09.members of the public to locate the sculpture and do -- return it to its
:16:09. > :16:14.owners. The sculptor is abroad, but he has told the BBC he is
:16:14. > :16:19.devastated. The concept came to him as he spent time with Inuit in the
:16:19. > :16:26.Arctic. A statue has been displayed in six issue # cities around the
:16:26. > :16:30.world. This is not the end for the project. There are two identical
:16:30. > :16:35.sculptors, but there are thousands of miles away. One is in Canada and
:16:35. > :16:39.one is in Australia. The original mould has been destroyed, so to make
:16:39. > :16:49.a replacement from scratch would be a great expense to the project.
:16:49. > :16:50.
:16:50. > :16:52.is worth over �50,000. Far more than its scrap value. It's powerful
:16:53. > :16:56.environmental message is worth far more than scrap value, so we are
:16:56. > :17:01.very seen to keep -- seed come back us. Please have appealed for
:17:01. > :17:05.witnesses, but this investigation reflects the fate of the polar bear
:17:05. > :17:08.in the wild. Time is of the essence. A demonstration has been held
:17:08. > :17:10.against the closure of a hotel in West Sussex designed for blind
:17:10. > :17:15.people. About 80 protestors, including some guests, gathered
:17:15. > :17:19.outside the Russell Hotel in Bognor Regis. As well as blind visitors,
:17:19. > :17:22.the hotel is used by other disabled guests and local swimmers use the
:17:22. > :17:29.pool. The charity selling the hotel says the money from the sale will
:17:29. > :17:33.help people who have lost their sight. Mark Sanders reports.
:17:33. > :17:38.They don't want this much loved hotel to close. Visitors and locals
:17:38. > :17:43.alike. This man has been coming to the Russell Hotel for the last nine
:17:44. > :17:52.years. Is part of a group of 15, friends from the British Polio,
:17:52. > :17:55.fellowship. We came here after a hotel in Worthing closed, because it
:17:55. > :17:59.has wheelchair accessible rooms. It is ideal for people with
:17:59. > :18:06.wheelchairs, it is ideal for blind people. What alternative do you
:18:06. > :18:11.have? None.The hotel was designed with blind people in mind, but other
:18:11. > :18:21.disabled guests stay here and local swimmers use the pool. It is a
:18:21. > :18:29.bereavement for us. We swing here -- we swing here and it is a tremendous
:18:29. > :18:32.sort of company and camaraderie. There is a lot of love here. The
:18:32. > :18:37.hotel has been sold to another charity. It will become a care home
:18:37. > :18:41.for the disabled. The charity said the Russell had the fewest blind
:18:41. > :18:45.visitors out of all so tells, and the money from the sale will help
:18:45. > :18:49.blind and partially sighted people. For those people coming to our hotel
:18:49. > :18:55.for a long time, it will be a real wrench. They will be disappointed
:18:55. > :19:00.and anxious about if and when they can have holidays and someone else.
:19:00. > :19:04.We didn't make the decision lightly. The new owners say they will look at
:19:04. > :19:14.whether local swimmers can have access to the pool here, but has a

:19:14. > :19:22.hotel, Russell is due to close. To sport now. It is lovely, hot and

:19:40. > :19:44.is going on up the road from Reading in Bisham Abbey, home to the

:20:00. > :20:06.British bobsleigher. Olympic hopes rest on successful recovery from an
:20:06. > :20:09.injury at this rehab unit, a special centre for elite athletes. I had an
:20:09. > :20:15.operation that could have made me miss the season. I would have felt I

:20:19. > :20:24.meant we got three sleds for the women, which is the first time it
:20:24. > :20:28.has happened. Paula had her knee surgery in May. The rehab consists
:20:28. > :20:33.of 14 sessions every five days. Sessions which are to sort will get

:24:43. > :24:46.Wardley from Gosport. We had her in here. This Saturday in Jersey, 41
:24:46. > :24:51.miles round. I understand she is just a few minutes away. She has to

:24:56. > :25:01.She could finish while we're on a or indeed while we are fair. Good luck

:25:17. > :25:22.Yacht Club this morning. George Yacht Club this morning. George
:25:22. > :25:26.Andrews sent that one in. More good sunshine to come, but a
:25:26. > :25:31.little bit of rain in the forecast. We have a fairly dry night ahead.
:25:31. > :25:37.Any showers will fizzle out and we're left with the skies clearing.
:25:37. > :25:41.That cloud will break apart. One or two pockets of missed, particularly
:25:41. > :25:45.in real sports. For the most part, a quiet night with temperatures of 11
:25:45. > :25:49.and 12 degrees. Tomorrow morning, there could be a little bit of
:25:49. > :25:55.missed first thing. That is likely to lift away and we should see
:25:55. > :25:59.brightness LA on. Again, much like today, cloud thickening up. We start
:25:59. > :26:06.to see a front arriving from the West. This will bring thick cloud
:26:06. > :26:09.and spits and spots of light rain and drizzle. Eastern parts,
:26:09. > :26:14.particularly across the course, seeing some decent brightness. That
:26:14. > :26:20.band of rain will work its way from the West through the afternoon and
:26:20. > :26:23.evening. Tomorrow night, there will be patchy rain. Yes, a bit of
:26:23. > :26:28.respite and perhaps a few breaks from that dream, but we will see
:26:28. > :26:33.rain into the early hours of Friday morning. Temperatures are likely to
:26:33. > :26:37.be around 12 or 13 degrees. We have got that band of rain. We have got
:26:37. > :26:40.that cleaving through into the course of Thursday night. A bit of
:26:40. > :26:47.respite for another one arrives on Friday. A soggy start to Friday
:26:47. > :26:51.morning. Friday's and improving picture. It looks like we will start
:26:51. > :26:56.with wet weather, but it will brighten up. In western parts, we
:26:56. > :27:00.should see decent sunny sparks -- sunny spells into the afternoon.
:27:00. > :27:04.Eastern areas may brighten up as well. Taking a look ahead to the
:27:04. > :27:10.coming days and weekend, tomorrow, not looking too bad to start, but
:27:10. > :27:13.clouding over. That dampness arrives late in the day. Dan start to
:27:13. > :27:17.Friday, but in improving picture with brightness at times. The
:27:17. > :27:24.weekend, though, positive. We're looking one. Possibility of a little
:27:24. > :27:28.rain, yes. But pretty decent. I can tell you that Anna Wardley,
:27:28. > :27:37.have just been told, she is five minutes away from the finish line.
