South Today. In tonight's programme...

:00:12.:00:15.

Unbelievable and worrying - an investigation into a school art

:00:15.:00:18.

lesson where blades were left for children to cut themselves.

:00:18.:00:21.

Jelly on the belly - the screening procedure which could save the lives

:00:21.:00:23.

of thousands of men every year goes nationwide.

:00:23.:00:27.

On hunger strike - why a Dorset woman is supporting the cause of a

:00:27.:00:37.

man in Guantanamo Bay she has never met.

:00:37.:00:41.

He has become a mean like a sort of proxy, virtual son, and I am in

:00:41.:00:48.

agony for him. And join me in Cowes where the wind

:00:48.:00:56.

and rain met the sailors on the A private school on the

:00:56.:00:58.

Hampshire-Dorset border is being investigated over claims that pupils

:00:58.:01:03.

were allowed to cut themselves with blades during an art lesson. The

:01:03.:01:05.

Ringwood Waldorf School describes itself as an alternative independent

:01:05.:01:09.

school which allows "an artistic and practical element to flow into all

:01:09.:01:17.

the lessons". The female teacher who took the class has resigned ahead of

:01:17.:01:22.

a disciplinary hearing. The school says this was an isolated incident.

:01:23.:01:28.

Our reporter, David Allard, joins me now.

:01:28.:01:31.

Just what are these circumstances around this?

:01:31.:01:35.

There were 23 pupils in an art history lesson, all in their

:01:35.:01:40.

mid-teens. We understand they were being taught about artists who would

:01:40.:01:44.

paint using their own blood. Some pupils then went on to use blades to

:01:44.:01:47.

cut themselves in the class. This happened on March 19th this year.

:01:47.:01:51.

The teacher was suspended two days later. The school says she had acted

:01:51.:01:53.

independently without their knowledge. It wasn't until 25th

:01:53.:01:57.

April, five weeks after the lesson, that it was reported to the

:01:57.:02:01.

Department for Education. They have described this as a deeply worrying

:02:01.:02:04.

allegation and sent the School Inspection Service to investigate.

:02:04.:02:09.

That is the body that inspects independent schools. We are

:02:09.:02:15.

expecting their report to be published in the near future. In the

:02:15.:02:21.

meantime, the teacher herself has resigned.

:02:21.:02:25.

What has the They refused to give us an interview but issued a statement

:02:25.:02:29.

through a PR company - they said... School said about this? -- what has

:02:29.:02:39.
:02:39.:02:45.

the school said about this? They But in an email to parents yesterday

:02:45.:02:50.

they go further. They say the teacher jeopardised the welfare of

:02:50.:02:53.

some of our older students, that she showed a deeply disappointing lack

:02:53.:02:56.

of professional judgement, but also that each child was given individual

:02:56.:03:00.

and appropriate support. One parent told me this was a unbelievable

:03:00.:03:08.

thing to have happened. We have heard about another school

:03:08.:03:14.

where pupils have had access to bleeds.

:03:14.:03:20.

Yes, earlier this year pupil at Unstead Park School was given access

:03:20.:03:24.

to disposable razors and left on her own to self harm. The policy was

:03:24.:03:27.

dropped when staff raised concerns with Surrey County Council. As we

:03:27.:03:37.
:03:37.:03:46.

say, that was unconnected to the activists, including some

:03:47.:03:49.

celebrities, have been on hunger strike in protest at the treatment

:03:49.:03:52.

of the last British resident in Guantanamo Bay, Shaker Aamer. They

:03:52.:03:56.

are calling on Barack Obama to make good his promise to close the camp.

:03:56.:04:00.

A grandmother from Dorset is the latest person to have taken up the

:04:00.:04:02.

cause. Ben Moore reports from Pentridge, near Cranborne.

:04:02.:04:06.

A welcome meal. Margaret Owen, who is nearly 82, has just broken a week

:04:06.:04:08.

long fast. All for a man she's never met.

:04:08.:04:11.

He is a few months younger than my youngest son and he has in the last

:04:11.:04:15.

week... I hope you don't think I am being soppy or sentimental, but it

:04:15.:04:20.

is true, he has become to me like a sort of proxy virtual son, and I am

:04:21.:04:24.

in agony for him. Shaker Aamer has been in Guantanamo

:04:24.:04:30.

over a decade. His wife and children still live in the UK. It has been

:04:30.:04:34.

:04:34.:04:44.
:04:44.:04:50.

public with what he knows about the Margaret was a human rights lawyer

:04:50.:04:55.

and kept a blog of her hunger strike. She joins celebrities such

:04:55.:04:58.

as comedian Frankie Boyle and 72-year-old actor Julie Christie in

:04:58.:05:06.

refusing to eat for this cause. I was not irresponsible, I called my

:05:06.:05:11.

GP and pulled him what I was doing, and he said as long as you drink

:05:11.:05:16.

water - not lots and lots, but frequent sips - he was fine with it.

:05:17.:05:22.

Margaret vows to keep on fighting to ensure Shakar Aamer's release. For

:05:22.:05:32.
:05:32.:05:36.

her there's no lack of appetite for this cause. A screening programme

:05:36.:05:39.

for a life-threatening condition which kills thousands of men a year

:05:39.:05:42.

is being rolled out across the country after successful trials in

:05:42.:05:46.

the South. They are given ultrasound scans of the main artery from the

:05:46.:05:50.

heart to see if there is swelling which could lead to what is known as

:05:50.:05:53.

an aneuryism. Men are six times more likely than women to get these.

:05:53.:05:57.

6,000 a year die from the condition. So far, 20,000 men over 65 have been

:05:57.:06:01.

scanned in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Here's our health

:06:01.:06:02.

correspondent, David Fenton. Peter Cummings has an aortic

:06:02.:06:08.

aneurysm that you can see here. The artery has bulged out by a few

:06:08.:06:13.

millimetres and is being measured by ultrasound.

:06:13.:06:18.

I measure the aorta, measure the diameter, most are a normal size.

:06:18.:06:21.

Occasionally we can see it widening on the screen and we measure it at

:06:21.:06:27.

its widest point. The scans are simple and quick and

:06:27.:06:34.

take just take -- ten minutes. They could save many lives. Colin needed

:06:34.:06:36.

major surgery after his ultrasound detected a potentially

:06:36.:06:41.

life-threatening aneurysm. It has been likened to living with a

:06:41.:06:46.

ticking time bomb. Obviously you are unaware of it, but once you know you

:06:46.:06:49.

have the condition it is very difficult to live with that

:06:49.:06:55.

knowledge. Colin is now fine. one of thousands of men who has been

:06:55.:07:01.

screened in the last two years. Using ultrasound to spot aneurysms

:07:01.:07:05.

was pioneered in Chichester more than ten years ago but recent pilot

:07:05.:07:09.

studies in Hampshire, West Sussex and across Dorset have helped prove

:07:09.:07:16.

its worth. Rupture of an aneurysm can be catastrophic. For the

:07:16.:07:20.

screening programme to be a success we want to see 80% of the men we

:07:20.:07:24.

went it -- invite come to the clinic and have the screening done. In the

:07:24.:07:31.

first year we had 79%, and the second 83%, and there is every

:07:31.:07:35.

indication this year we will see even more. The scans cost the NHS

:07:35.:07:40.

�27. The pilot scheme was so successful it is being rolled out

:07:40.:07:50.
:07:50.:07:56.

nationally where it is hoped it "People will die, ships will be

:07:56.:07:59.

lost, that's the deal. Go to it." The words of Admiral Sir Sandy

:07:59.:08:03.

Woodward, leader of the Falklands Task Force, who has died at the age

:08:03.:08:06.

of 81. Today the Prime Minister was among those paying tribute. Admiral

:08:06.:08:09.

Woodward, from Bosham, was a naval leader known for his strong opinions

:08:09.:08:12.

and who commanded respect from sailors, politicians and the public.

:08:12.:08:15.

Chris Robinson reports. Portsmouth in 1982 - the naval Task

:08:15.:08:18.

Force setting off on its 8,000 mile journey to the South Atlantic. The

:08:18.:08:22.

Royal Navy's front-line commander, Sandy Woodward. Was a man of blunt

:08:22.:08:32.
:08:32.:08:35.

words who could get the job done. I remember him saying it will not be

:08:35.:08:39.

easy, we will not give up and if I don't make a mistake most of us will

:08:39.:08:44.

get home. I thought that was very honest.

:08:44.:08:48.

Born John Foster Woodward, but known to all as Sandy, he joined the Royal

:08:48.:08:51.

Navy aged 13 and later became a submarine commander before taking

:08:51.:08:54.

leadership of the Task Force. He was praised for his powerful and

:08:54.:08:57.

clear command, the Prime Minister describing him as a truly courageous

:08:57.:09:00.

and decisive leader. Retired Rear-Admiral Chris Parry was park of

:09:00.:09:03.

the initial Task Force. He remembers a man of strong opinions.

:09:03.:09:08.

I don't think he was everybody's cup of tea, he was not that

:09:08.:09:12.

approachable, he was very distant at times and did not suffer fools

:09:12.:09:16.

gladly. In fact, I would say he did not suffer people gladly. But what

:09:16.:09:21.

we have to say is that he won the war. He made all the right

:09:21.:09:24.

decisions, he took the risks come out when the political pressure was

:09:24.:09:30.

really one he was able to withstand it and went through to the end. --

:09:30.:09:33.

when the pressure was really on. was Admiral Woodward who wanted to

:09:33.:09:36.

torpedo the Argentine ship the Belgrano because of the threat he

:09:36.:09:43.

believed it posed to British forces, Even after his retirement, Admiral

:09:43.:09:47.

Woodward remained one of the Navy's greatest advocates.

:09:47.:09:52.

He spoke of his fears relating to cuts.

:09:52.:09:56.

If you lower your guard, people will think they can get away with it. If

:09:56.:09:59.

the new carriers don't come forward the Navy will be completely

:09:59.:10:08.

different from what it was in 1982, markedly less capable.

:10:08.:10:14.

Tributes in remembering Admiral Sandy Woodward, who has died.

:10:14.:10:17.

Still to come this evening, much-needed rain for the gardens, is

:10:17.:10:23.

there more on the way? We have had intense rainfall today,

:10:23.:10:33.
:10:33.:10:42.

but the week is not a wash-out. We signed a �37 million technology deal

:10:42.:10:45.

with BT to link up their computer systems. Surrey, Hampshire and

:10:45.:10:48.

Thames Valley say it will save them money by combining their spending

:10:48.:10:56.

power. As budgets get squeezed, many public bodies are bulk buying. But

:10:56.:11:00.

councils are also facing calls to spend more of their money with small

:11:00.:11:04.

firms in their area. So do they go for the discount, or shop local?

:11:04.:11:06.

Here's our political editor, Peter Henley.

:11:06.:11:10.

Salisbury's historic Guildhall, and in front of shining white granite

:11:10.:11:14.

pedestrian area. The whole of the marketplace is being resurfaced at a

:11:14.:11:20.

cost of �3.2 million with stolen from China. When restaurant owner

:11:20.:11:23.

Steve went how far they had gone to get the granite he could not believe

:11:23.:11:31.

We have a quarry 40 miles down the road in one direction and the

:11:32.:11:36.

Cotswolds and the other direction, why not use local store and two the

:11:36.:11:42.

initial cobbles were changed after complaints from the use -- disabled

:11:42.:11:45.

users. What is wrong with tarmac? To bring

:11:45.:11:50.

all this stone from China is ridiculous. It may be cheaper but it

:11:51.:11:55.

is public money, it should be supporting British jobs. The Chinese

:11:55.:12:02.

granite is a far cry from the sandstone Salisbury is used to.

:12:02.:12:08.

Designers felt it would be too soft to last. The council says they

:12:08.:12:17.

usually use businesses in Wiltshire, has been looking into why local

:12:17.:12:20.

firms are not able to get orders from the councils and have

:12:20.:12:25.

discovered it is not just down to cost. Local authorities in

:12:25.:12:28.

particular seem to use config you did tendering processes that small

:12:28.:12:35.

businesses cannot afford to go through. -- seem to use complicated

:12:35.:12:38.

tendering processes. In Surrey, they have switched from

:12:38.:12:41.

single contract is to managing a panel of local suppliers.

:12:41.:12:48.

The question is whether it will cost more in the long run or less.

:12:48.:12:55.

Peter is with me now. We all love a discount, clearly councils do, too.

:12:55.:12:58.

It is worth checking those costs. The National Audit Office was

:12:58.:13:02.

working out how much is spent on different things. For example, a

:13:02.:13:08.

pack of paper -1 council was paying �6, another was being �14 for the

:13:08.:13:13.

same thing. Economies of scale can bring big benefits, as we saw with

:13:13.:13:18.

that reduction in a massive phone bill, �37 million over seven years.

:13:18.:13:24.

But BT, they felt, was the only company they felt could deliver that

:13:24.:13:27.

economy of scale. Where does that leave smaller companies who could

:13:27.:13:33.

really do with a bit of help at the moment? And do you have any --

:13:33.:13:37.

hidden costs? That Chinese granite - if it puts a few tourists off

:13:37.:13:42.

visiting Salisbury because it doesn't feel it is the place they

:13:42.:13:46.

want, you have lost money. You have to square the circle, because you

:13:46.:13:51.

have to get value for money but you also have to help the local economy.

:13:51.:13:56.

It is possible to do both? Probably, if you rewrite the contracts.

:13:56.:13:59.

Great things into smaller chunks, don't make small businesses run

:13:59.:14:03.

through the same it's as big ones for tendering, because they cannot

:14:03.:14:07.

do it the same way. Surrey county council has been doing this by

:14:07.:14:10.

offering a package of smaller contracts rather than just one big

:14:10.:14:14.

one. And Hampshire gets local schools to have local apple juice,

:14:14.:14:19.

and maybe that saves money along the line. If you spend it locally, the

:14:19.:14:29.
:14:29.:14:29.

money stays in the local area and maybe costs are lower in the future.

:14:29.:14:33.

A man has been charged following a stabbing in Reading on Wednesday.

:14:33.:14:35.

21-year-old Justin Tyler, of no fixed address, is charged with

:14:35.:14:39.

wounding with intent. It is in connection with an incident in Gun

:14:39.:14:42.

Street, where a 23-year-old man was seriously injured. Four other people

:14:42.:14:46.

have been released on police bail. ? A teenager from Gosport has pleaded

:14:46.:14:50.

guilty for his part in an attack which put a man in a coma after he

:14:50.:14:53.

asked a group of youths to stop making noise outside his flat.

:14:53.:14:56.

19-year-old Brandon Fisher, of Old Road in Gosport, admitted unlawful

:14:56.:14:59.

wounding at Portsmouth Crown Court today. The attack on Andrew Toseland

:14:59.:15:02.

in August last year left the 49-year-old from Forton Road unable

:15:02.:15:06.

to walk and needing care for the rest of his life. Fisher will be

:15:06.:15:10.

sentenced next month. Samuel on Strong, who carried out the assault,

:15:10.:15:12.

will also be sentenced. -- Armstrong.

:15:12.:15:15.

Parents with children at the Stanbridge Earls School near Romsey

:15:15.:15:18.

have been told the school should open in September, despite the

:15:18.:15:22.

failure to secure a takeover. The school has faced huge criticisms

:15:22.:15:26.

since a tribunal found it failed to protect a girl who says she was

:15:26.:15:30.

raped by a fellow pupil. The BBC has seen a letter to parents today in

:15:30.:15:33.

which the headteacher stressed that if a takeover can't be reached the

:15:33.:15:36.

school will have to close. Customers of South East Water are

:15:36.:15:40.

being asked how they would like to use technology to communicate with

:15:40.:15:44.

the company. The firm wants to know if people would use live web-chats,

:15:44.:15:47.

smart phones or social media to get hold of information about their

:15:47.:15:50.

water supply. The survey also asks customers how they would like bill

:15:50.:15:56.

increases and decreases to be It has been called a national

:15:56.:16:00.

treasure, but to what extent should the modern world be allow to intrude

:16:00.:16:03.

on the New Forest? The National Park Authority is examining how to

:16:04.:16:07.

protect the traditional look and feel of the area. New guidelines

:16:07.:16:11.

have been published to advise on everything from the type of fencing

:16:11.:16:15.

home owners should use, to the length of grass in a paddock. But,

:16:15.:16:18.

as Ed Sherry reports, some are worried that recommendations could

:16:18.:16:25.

This panorama near Hyde shows exactly what is unique about the New

:16:25.:16:35.
:16:35.:16:39.

Forest, and why everyone agrees it Voice is a New Forest campaign group

:16:39.:16:44.

with over 400 members. It is down to personal choice. I really don't

:16:44.:16:47.

think the national park authority have any business telling people

:16:47.:16:52.

what they can or can't have in their dwelling. It is not fear and it is

:16:52.:16:58.

not right. -- it is not fair. Some want more done. Like Bill Dow,

:16:58.:17:01.

who has been a local councillor for 30 years.

:17:01.:17:05.

We are able to enjoy it ourselves, but I would love to think that is

:17:05.:17:09.

going to be here for many generations to come. We are only

:17:09.:17:12.

custodians, we're looking after it for future people to come here and

:17:12.:17:19.

get enjoyment from it. This has echoes of a much wider row

:17:19.:17:22.

in 2008, when more detailed planning documents covering a wider range of

:17:22.:17:24.

issues were first published. This action plan covers everything from

:17:25.:17:28.

tidying up road signs and verges to placing litter bins in wooden boxes.

:17:28.:17:32.

It is private properties that prove a sticking point. Home owners are

:17:32.:17:35.

advised to install sympathetic boundaries, like this hedge, and

:17:35.:17:42.

avoid large panels, iron gates or lighting in front gardens.

:17:42.:17:45.

We cannot stop people putting up fences or security lights, they can

:17:45.:17:49.

do all of that without planning permission. These are not planning

:17:49.:17:53.

documents, they are advisory committee 's guidance. If you look

:17:53.:17:58.

behind me you can see some buildings fronting onto the open forest. The

:17:58.:18:01.

hedgerows, those are the sorts of things we are suggesting should be

:18:01.:18:08.

kept, rather than replaced with boarded fencing.

:18:09.:18:15.

In sport, Cowes Week is the world's largest sailing regatta, thousands

:18:15.:18:22.

take part. This evening, it is looking very becalmed behind you. A

:18:23.:18:27.

little flattering of the flags, but it has been lively today. How were

:18:27.:18:33.

your sea legs? I am fine, don't worry about that. I

:18:33.:18:39.

don't do too much sailing, but in the Olympics, going out on those

:18:39.:18:44.

ribs every day, it gets you used to the feel of sailing. I will tell you

:18:44.:18:49.

more this evening as it goes on. It is pretty calm now, there was a lot

:18:49.:18:53.

of rain earlier today, that was the main issue, rather than the swell

:18:53.:18:58.

and choppy water. Let's talk about the football, it was the first

:18:58.:19:02.

weekend of the football league this weekend. I want to show you an image

:19:02.:19:06.

which was really powerful from Saturday. This is Fratton park and

:19:06.:19:06.

Saturday. This is Fratton park and Saturday. This is Fratton park and

:19:06.:19:09.

it is after Portsmouth

:19:09.:19:15.

Portsmouth fans finally declaring the club is ours. Pompey is in the

:19:15.:19:19.

hands of the fans. What did we learn from this first weekend in the

:19:19.:19:25.

football league? If you are of Pompey fine, probably quite a bit.

:19:25.:19:29.

Some fans arrived five hours before kick-off, such was the anticipation

:19:29.:19:36.

of a new dawn at the club know owned by fans.

:19:36.:19:41.

-- now owned. Promotion from league two will not be a formality. In the

:19:41.:19:47.

space of four minutes, Oxford pounded around with goals from Deane

:19:47.:19:52.

Smalley and Alfie Potter. It got worse for Pompey with the

:19:52.:19:58.

captain seeing red. Pompey's capital one cup opponents

:19:58.:20:03.

tomorrow began their campaign with a win. This thunderbolt was the winner

:20:03.:20:07.

against Charlton. The boss was delighted but hinted he needs more

:20:07.:20:16.

firepower up front with only three recognised strikers.

:20:16.:20:25.

Former Reading favourite Tabb never scored but it only took six team

:20:26.:20:29.

minutes to do so for Ipswich. This strike came from Danny Guthrie. It

:20:29.:20:34.

was the first time Reading have won their opening fixture in seven
