:00:58. > :01:03.Hampshire-Dorset border is being investigated over claims that pupils
:01:03. > :01:05.were allowed to cut themselves with blades during an art lesson. The
:01:05. > :01:09.Ringwood Waldorf School describes itself as an alternative independent
:01:09. > :01:17.school which allows "an artistic and practical element to flow into all
:01:17. > :01:22.the lessons". The female teacher who took the class has resigned ahead of
:01:23. > :01:28.a disciplinary hearing. The school says this was an isolated incident.
:01:28. > :01:31.Our reporter, David Allard, joins me now.
:01:31. > :01:35.Just what are these circumstances around this?
:01:35. > :01:40.There were 23 pupils in an art history lesson, all in their
:01:40. > :01:44.mid-teens. We understand they were being taught about artists who would
:01:44. > :01:47.paint using their own blood. Some pupils then went on to use blades to
:01:47. > :01:51.cut themselves in the class. This happened on March 19th this year.
:01:51. > :01:53.The teacher was suspended two days later. The school says she had acted
:01:53. > :01:57.independently without their knowledge. It wasn't until 25th
:01:57. > :02:01.April, five weeks after the lesson, that it was reported to the
:02:01. > :02:04.Department for Education. They have described this as a deeply worrying
:02:04. > :02:09.allegation and sent the School Inspection Service to investigate.
:02:09. > :02:15.That is the body that inspects independent schools. We are
:02:15. > :02:21.expecting their report to be published in the near future. In the
:02:21. > :02:25.meantime, the teacher herself has resigned.

:02:53. > :02:56.some of our older students, that she showed a deeply disappointing lack
:02:56. > :03:00.of professional judgement, but also that each child was given individual
:03:00. > :03:08.and appropriate support. One parent told me this was a unbelievable
:03:08. > :03:14.thing to have happened. We have heard about another school
:03:14. > :03:20.where pupils have had access to bleeds.
:03:20. > :03:24.Yes, earlier this year pupil at Unstead Park School was given access
:03:24. > :03:27.to disposable razors and left on her own to self harm. The policy was
:03:27. > :03:37.dropped when staff raised concerns with Surrey County Council. As we

:03:47. > :03:49.say, that was unconnected to the activists, including some
:03:49. > :03:52.celebrities, have been on hunger strike in protest at the treatment

:04:21. > :04:24.is true, he has become to me like a sort of proxy virtual son, and I am
:04:24. > :04:30.in agony for him. Shaker Aamer has been in Guantanamo

:05:17. > :05:22.water - not lots and lots, but frequent sips - he was fine with it.

:05:36. > :05:39.her there's no lack of appetite for this cause. A screening programme
:05:39. > :05:42.for a life-threatening condition which kills thousands of men a year
:05:42. > :05:46.is being rolled out across the country after successful trials in
:05:46. > :05:50.the South. They are given ultrasound scans of the main artery from the
:05:50. > :05:53.heart to see if there is swelling which could lead to what is known as
:05:53. > :05:57.an aneuryism. Men are six times more likely than women to get these.
:05:57. > :06:01.6,000 a year die from the condition. So far, 20,000 men over 65 have been
:06:01. > :06:02.scanned in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Here's our health
:06:02. > :06:08.correspondent, David Fenton. Peter Cummings has an aortic
:06:08. > :06:13.aneurysm that you can see here. The artery has bulged out by a few
:06:13. > :06:18.millimetres and is being measured by ultrasound.
:06:18. > :06:21.I measure the aorta, measure the diameter, most are a normal size.
:06:21. > :06:27.Occasionally we can see it widening on the screen and we measure it at
:06:27. > :06:34.its widest point. The scans are simple and quick and
:06:34. > :06:36.take just take -- ten minutes. They could save many lives. Colin needed
:06:36. > :06:41.major surgery after his ultrasound detected a potentially
:06:41. > :06:46.life-threatening aneurysm. It has been likened to living with a
:06:46. > :06:49.ticking time bomb. Obviously you are unaware of it, but once you know you
:06:49. > :06:55.have the condition it is very difficult to live with that
:06:55. > :07:01.knowledge. Colin is now fine. one of thousands of men who has been
:07:01. > :07:05.screened in the last two years. Using ultrasound to spot aneurysms
:07:05. > :07:09.was pioneered in Chichester more than ten years ago but recent pilot
:07:09. > :07:16.studies in Hampshire, West Sussex and across Dorset have helped prove
:07:16. > :07:20.its worth. Rupture of an aneurysm can be catastrophic. For the
:07:20. > :07:24.screening programme to be a success we want to see 80% of the men we
:07:24. > :07:31.went it -- invite come to the clinic and have the screening done. In the
:07:31. > :07:35.first year we had 79%, and the second 83%, and there is every
:07:35. > :07:40.indication this year we will see even more. The scans cost the NHS
:07:40. > :07:50.�27. The pilot scheme was so successful it is being rolled out
:07:50. > :07:56.
:07:56. > :07:59.nationally where it is hoped it "People will die, ships will be
:07:59. > :08:03.lost, that's the deal. Go to it." The words of Admiral Sir Sandy
:08:03. > :08:06.Woodward, leader of the Falklands Task Force, who has died at the age
:08:06. > :08:09.of 81. Today the Prime Minister was among those paying tribute. Admiral
:08:09. > :08:12.Woodward, from Bosham, was a naval leader known for his strong opinions
:08:12. > :08:15.and who commanded respect from sailors, politicians and the public.
:08:15. > :08:18.Chris Robinson reports. Portsmouth in 1982 - the naval Task
:08:18. > :08:22.Force setting off on its 8,000 mile journey to the South Atlantic. The
:08:22. > :08:32.Royal Navy's front-line commander, Sandy Woodward. Was a man of blunt
:08:32. > :08:35.
:08:35. > :08:39.words who could get the job done. I remember him saying it will not be
:08:39. > :08:44.easy, we will not give up and if I don't make a mistake most of us will
:08:44. > :08:48.get home. I thought that was very honest.
:08:48. > :08:51.Born John Foster Woodward, but known to all as Sandy, he joined the Royal
:08:51. > :08:54.Navy aged 13 and later became a submarine commander before taking
:08:54. > :08:57.leadership of the Task Force. He was praised for his powerful and
:08:57. > :09:00.clear command, the Prime Minister describing him as a truly courageous
:09:00. > :09:03.and decisive leader. Retired Rear-Admiral Chris Parry was park of
:09:03. > :09:08.the initial Task Force. He remembers a man of strong opinions.
:09:08. > :09:12.I don't think he was everybody's cup of tea, he was not that
:09:12. > :09:16.approachable, he was very distant at times and did not suffer fools
:09:16. > :09:21.gladly. In fact, I would say he did not suffer people gladly. But what
:09:21. > :09:24.we have to say is that he won the war. He made all the right
:09:24. > :09:30.decisions, he took the risks come out when the political pressure was
:09:30. > :09:33.really one he was able to withstand it and went through to the end. --
:09:33. > :09:36.when the pressure was really on. was Admiral Woodward who wanted to
:09:36. > :09:43.torpedo the Argentine ship the Belgrano because of the threat he
:09:43. > :09:47.believed it posed to British forces, Even after his retirement, Admiral
:09:47. > :09:52.Woodward remained one of the Navy's greatest advocates.
:09:52. > :09:56.He spoke of his fears relating to cuts.
:09:56. > :09:59.If you lower your guard, people will think they can get away with it. If
:09:59. > :10:08.the new carriers don't come forward the Navy will be completely
:10:08. > :10:14.different from what it was in 1982, markedly less capable.
:10:14. > :10:17.Tributes in remembering Admiral Sandy Woodward, who has died.
:10:17. > :10:23.Still to come this evening, much-needed rain for the gardens, is
:10:23. > :10:33.there more on the way? We have had intense rainfall today,
:10:33. > :10:42.
:10:42. > :10:45.but the week is not a wash-out. We signed a �37 million technology deal
:10:45. > :10:48.with BT to link up their computer systems. Surrey, Hampshire and
:10:48. > :10:56.Thames Valley say it will save them money by combining their spending
:10:56. > :11:00.power. As budgets get squeezed, many public bodies are bulk buying. But
:11:00. > :11:04.councils are also facing calls to spend more of their money with small
:11:04. > :11:06.firms in their area. So do they go for the discount, or shop local?
:11:06. > :11:10.Here's our political editor, Peter Henley.
:11:10. > :11:14.Salisbury's historic Guildhall, and in front of shining white granite
:11:14. > :11:20.pedestrian area. The whole of the marketplace is being resurfaced at a
:11:20. > :11:23.cost of �3.2 million with stolen from China. When restaurant owner
:11:23. > :11:31.Steve went how far they had gone to get the granite he could not believe
:11:32. > :11:36.We have a quarry 40 miles down the road in one direction and the
:11:36. > :11:42.Cotswolds and the other direction, why not use local store and two the
:11:42. > :11:45.initial cobbles were changed after complaints from the use -- disabled
:11:45. > :11:50.users. What is wrong with tarmac? To bring
:11:51. > :11:55.all this stone from China is ridiculous. It may be cheaper but it
:11:55. > :12:02.is public money, it should be supporting British jobs. The Chinese
:12:02. > :12:08.granite is a far cry from the sandstone Salisbury is used to.
:12:08. > :12:17.Designers felt it would be too soft to last. The council says they
:12:17. > :12:20.usually use businesses in Wiltshire, has been looking into why local
:12:20. > :12:25.firms are not able to get orders from the councils and have
:12:25. > :12:28.discovered it is not just down to cost. Local authorities in
:12:28. > :12:35.particular seem to use config you did tendering processes that small
:12:35. > :12:38.businesses cannot afford to go through. -- seem to use complicated
:12:38. > :12:41.tendering processes. In Surrey, they have switched from
:12:41. > :12:48.single contract is to managing a panel of local suppliers.
:12:48. > :12:55.The question is whether it will cost more in the long run or less.
:12:55. > :12:58.Peter is with me now. We all love a discount, clearly councils do, too.
:12:58. > :13:02.It is worth checking those costs. The National Audit Office was
:13:02. > :13:08.working out how much is spent on different things. For example, a
:13:08. > :13:13.pack of paper -1 council was paying �6, another was being �14 for the
:13:13. > :13:18.same thing. Economies of scale can bring big benefits, as we saw with
:13:18. > :13:24.that reduction in a massive phone bill, �37 million over seven years.
:13:24. > :13:27.But BT, they felt, was the only company they felt could deliver that
:13:27. > :13:33.economy of scale. Where does that leave smaller companies who could
:13:33. > :13:37.really do with a bit of help at the moment? And do you have any --
:13:37. > :13:42.hidden costs? That Chinese granite - if it puts a few tourists off
:13:42. > :13:46.visiting Salisbury because it doesn't feel it is the place they
:13:46. > :13:51.want, you have lost money. You have to square the circle, because you
:13:51. > :13:56.have to get value for money but you also have to help the local economy.
:13:56. > :13:59.It is possible to do both? Probably, if you rewrite the contracts.
:13:59. > :14:03.Great things into smaller chunks, don't make small businesses run
:14:03. > :14:07.through the same it's as big ones for tendering, because they cannot
:14:07. > :14:10.do it the same way. Surrey county council has been doing this by
:14:10. > :14:14.offering a package of smaller contracts rather than just one big
:14:14. > :14:19.one. And Hampshire gets local schools to have local apple juice,
:14:19. > :14:29.and maybe that saves money along the line. If you spend it locally, the
:14:29. > :14:29.
:14:29. > :14:33.money stays in the local area and maybe costs are lower in the future.
:14:33. > :14:35.A man has been charged following a stabbing in Reading on Wednesday.
:14:35. > :14:39.21-year-old Justin Tyler, of no fixed address, is charged with
:14:39. > :14:42.wounding with intent. It is in connection with an incident in Gun
:14:42. > :14:46.Street, where a 23-year-old man was seriously injured. Four other people
:14:46. > :14:50.have been released on police bail. ? A teenager from Gosport has pleaded
:14:50. > :14:53.guilty for his part in an attack which put a man in a coma after he
:14:53. > :14:56.asked a group of youths to stop making noise outside his flat.
:14:56. > :14:59.19-year-old Brandon Fisher, of Old Road in Gosport, admitted unlawful
:14:59. > :15:02.wounding at Portsmouth Crown Court today. The attack on Andrew Toseland
:15:02. > :15:06.in August last year left the 49-year-old from Forton Road unable
:15:06. > :15:10.to walk and needing care for the rest of his life. Fisher will be
:15:10. > :15:12.sentenced next month. Samuel on Strong, who carried out the assault,
:15:12. > :15:15.will also be sentenced. -- Armstrong.
:15:15. > :15:18.Parents with children at the Stanbridge Earls School near Romsey
:15:18. > :15:22.have been told the school should open in September, despite the
:15:22. > :15:26.failure to secure a takeover. The school has faced huge criticisms
:15:26. > :15:30.since a tribunal found it failed to protect a girl who says she was
:15:30. > :15:33.raped by a fellow pupil. The BBC has seen a letter to parents today in
:15:33. > :15:36.which the headteacher stressed that if a takeover can't be reached the
:15:36. > :15:40.school will have to close. Customers of South East Water are
:15:40. > :15:44.being asked how they would like to use technology to communicate with
:15:44. > :15:47.the company. The firm wants to know if people would use live web-chats,
:15:47. > :15:50.smart phones or social media to get hold of information about their

:16:04. > :16:07.on the New Forest? The National Park Authority is examining how to
:16:07. > :16:11.protect the traditional look and feel of the area. New guidelines
:16:11. > :16:15.have been published to advise on everything from the type of fencing
:16:15. > :16:18.home owners should use, to the length of grass in a paddock. But,
:16:18. > :16:25.as Ed Sherry reports, some are worried that recommendations could

:16:39. > :16:44.Forest, and why everyone agrees it Voice is a New Forest campaign group
:16:44. > :16:47.with over 400 members. It is down to personal choice. I really don't
:16:47. > :16:52.think the national park authority have any business telling people
:16:52. > :16:58.what they can or can't have in their dwelling. It is not fear and it is
:16:58. > :17:01.not right. -- it is not fair. Some want more done. Like Bill Dow,
:17:01. > :17:05.who has been a local councillor for 30 years.
:17:05. > :17:09.We are able to enjoy it ourselves, but I would love to think that is
:17:09. > :17:12.going to be here for many generations to come. We are only
:17:12. > :17:19.custodians, we're looking after it for future people to come here and
:17:19. > :17:22.get enjoyment from it. This has echoes of a much wider row
:17:22. > :17:24.in 2008, when more detailed planning documents covering a wider range of
:17:25. > :17:28.issues were first published. This action plan covers everything from
:17:28. > :17:32.tidying up road signs and verges to placing litter bins in wooden boxes.
:17:32. > :17:35.It is private properties that prove a sticking point. Home owners are
:17:35. > :17:42.advised to install sympathetic boundaries, like this hedge, and
:17:42. > :17:45.avoid large panels, iron gates or lighting in front gardens.
:17:45. > :17:49.We cannot stop people putting up fences or security lights, they can
:17:49. > :17:53.do all of that without planning permission. These are not planning
:17:53. > :17:58.documents, they are advisory committee 's guidance. If you look
:17:58. > :18:01.behind me you can see some buildings fronting onto the open forest. The
:18:01. > :18:08.hedgerows, those are the sorts of things we are suggesting should be
:18:09. > :18:15.kept, rather than replaced with boarded fencing.
:18:15. > :18:22.In sport, Cowes Week is the world's largest sailing regatta, thousands
:18:23. > :18:27.take part. This evening, it is looking very becalmed behind you. A
:18:27. > :18:33.little flattering of the flags, but it has been lively today. How were
:18:33. > :18:39.your sea legs? I am fine, don't worry about that. I
:18:39. > :18:44.don't do too much sailing, but in the Olympics, going out on those
:18:44. > :18:49.ribs every day, it gets you used to the feel of sailing. I will tell you
:18:49. > :18:53.more this evening as it goes on. It is pretty calm now, there was a lot
:18:53. > :18:58.of rain earlier today, that was the main issue, rather than the swell
:18:58. > :19:02.and choppy water. Let's talk about the football, it was the first
:19:02. > :19:06.weekend of the football league this weekend. I want to show you an image
:19:06. > :19:06.which was really powerful from Saturday. This is Fratton park and
:19:06. > :19:09.Saturday. This is Fratton park and Saturday. This is Fratton park and
:19:09. > :19:15.it is after Portsmouth
:19:15. > :19:19.Portsmouth fans finally declaring the club is ours. Pompey is in the
:19:19. > :19:25.hands of the fans. What did we learn from this first weekend in the
:19:25. > :19:29.football league? If you are of Pompey fine, probably quite a bit.
:19:29. > :19:36.Some fans arrived five hours before kick-off, such was the anticipation
:19:36. > :19:41.of a new dawn at the club know owned by fans.
:19:41. > :19:47.-- now owned. Promotion from league two will not be a formality. In the
:19:47. > :19:52.space of four minutes, Oxford pounded around with goals from Deane
:19:52. > :19:58.Smalley and Alfie Potter. It got worse for Pompey with the
:19:58. > :20:03.captain seeing red. Pompey's capital one cup opponents
:20:03. > :20:07.tomorrow began their campaign with a win. This thunderbolt was the winner
:20:07. > :20:16.against Charlton. The boss was delighted but hinted he needs more
:20:16. > :20:25.firepower up front with only three recognised strikers.
:20:26. > :20:29.Former Reading favourite Tabb never scored but it only took six team
:20:29. > :20:34.minutes to do so for Ipswich. This strike came from Danny Guthrie. It
