:03:37. > :03:42.again and again across Wiltshire. So my advice to drivers is to make sure

:03:48. > :03:52.abide by the rules. Angela once Jamie's crash to the -- bikes to be

:04:11. > :04:16.drivers safer? In a few weeks' time, the government
:04:16. > :04:18.will publish plans to change the driving test and make it tougher.
:04:19. > :04:25.Two out of three deaths for young people come from road traffic
:04:25. > :04:29.accidents, that is higher than road -- drink, drugs or crime. They are
:04:29. > :04:35.calling for a minimum of a one-year learning period which is likely to
:04:35. > :04:40.be at the centre of the new policy. But what about the elements favoured
:04:40. > :04:44.by insurers? A night-time driving curfew, a ban on newly qualified
:04:44. > :04:50.drivers carrying young passengers and zero tolerance on alcohol. For
:04:50. > :04:55.many young drivers, those ideas are not attractive. For 18-year-old
:04:55. > :05:01.Georgia Sacre from Farnham, the driving test was a passport
:05:02. > :05:07.independence. I have gained a lot more jobs because of driving. My dad
:05:07. > :05:13.always used to have to pick me up. I had to rely on them. Just about
:05:13. > :05:17.everyone agrees, the driving test is not fit for purpose. Four in ten
:05:18. > :05:22.drivers crashed in the six months after they passed their test. A
:05:22. > :05:30.large proportion of those happen at night. But George does not like the
:05:30. > :05:33.idea of a curfew on the driving. mum doesn't live with me. She might
:05:33. > :05:39.become ill and if there was an emergency, I would not be able to
:05:39. > :05:44.get to her. Georgia has a black box data recorder as part of her car
:05:44. > :05:49.insurance. Her insurer has 750 million miles of data to draw from
:05:49. > :05:53.and thinks a night-time curfew is pointless. In the young person's
:05:53. > :05:58.mind, that means that they have to get home by 11 and they might rush
:05:58. > :06:02.to get home. They are going to drive anyway and that means there are lots
:06:02. > :06:07.of young, inexperienced road users at the time -- at the same time on
:06:07. > :06:13.the road is trying to get home. is out of line with the rest of the
:06:13. > :06:16.insurance injury -- industry, which backs a curfew. Tom McCluskey is a
:06:16. > :06:20.student at Bournemouth University and he thinks better training before
:06:20. > :06:26.the test would do more than imposing restrictions on people who pass it.
:06:26. > :06:34.If you're curfew is 4:11pm, it's 10:30pm, a 45 Minute Drive home,
:06:34. > :06:39.there will be a tent agent speed. I think if people have the right
:06:39. > :06:44.attitude in the first place, they should not need a curfew. In a
:06:44. > :06:48.curfew, more than three out of four young drivers oppose a curfew.
:06:48. > :06:55.Almost all of them are against restrictions on carrying passengers.
:06:55. > :06:59.But most agreed with stricter limits on alcohol. Not carrying passengers
:06:59. > :07:03.in cars is not particularly enforceable and also includes people
:07:04. > :07:07.who may have children or need to carry passengers for other reasons,
:07:07. > :07:12.perhaps for work, from going about their business and using the car for
:07:12. > :07:17.the reason why they got their driving licence in the first place.
:07:17. > :07:23.Interesting to hear what the young people feel, but realistically, many
:07:23. > :07:26.of them likely to come into effect? What with fewer traffic police on
:07:26. > :07:32.the roads, these will be difficult to enforce. And students doing
:07:32. > :07:36.late-night shifts would need to be exempt from a curfew. Who would have
:07:36. > :07:40.to prove whether a driver is coming home from working at a pub or just
:07:40. > :07:45.coming home from the pub? A ban on passengers would have to exclude
:07:45. > :07:50.immediate members of the family. Who would have to prove that? But the
:07:50. > :07:58.debate is no longer about whether the driver -- the driving test must
:07:58. > :08:03.change, it is about how tough the rules change will have to be.
:08:03. > :08:06.The governor of whingers to prison which has recently been named as one
:08:06. > :08:11.of the three worst jails in the country has already implemented a
:08:11. > :08:15.plan, he says. A survey earlier this year showed that half the inmates
:08:15. > :08:18.felt unsafe and drugs were available. The prison has been given
:08:18. > :08:24.the lowest possible rating which means it is overall performance is
:08:24. > :08:28.of serious concern. When inspectors came to call at
:08:28. > :08:32.Winchester prison last October, their verdict was damning. The gel
:08:32. > :08:34.was neglected and drifting, performance had sharply
:08:34. > :08:40.deteriorated. -- in the jail was neglected. Winchester prison has
:08:40. > :08:45.just been named as one of the country's worst three jails. The new
:08:45. > :08:49.governor says the prison is facing up to its problems. The prison then
:08:49. > :08:52.was not in a good place. There were staff shortages which meant that
:08:52. > :08:58.prisoners were not unlocked which meant by default that they were
:08:58. > :09:04.unhappy. I think, if I reflect back from then to now, we are in a much
:09:04. > :09:08.healthier position. We have a good staffing group. What about drugs?
:09:08. > :09:14.The way we handled and dealt with drugs coming into the prison last
:09:14. > :09:19.year was not good enough? --. My drug rate is much better, and
:09:19. > :09:24.prisoners who test possible -- prisoners who test positive for
:09:24. > :09:28.taking drugs is down. Prison groups except that changes have been made
:09:28. > :09:33.but there is still concern about what happens when they leave the
:09:33. > :09:37.prison behind. The prison is still failing the community and the
:09:37. > :09:42.taxpayer who pay for it because the majority of the people will come out
:09:42. > :09:46.onto the streets and commit another crime. The governor said that the
:09:46. > :09:49.prison is working hard on cutting reoffending rates using this
:09:49. > :09:54.resettlement unit. One inmate has lost count of the number of times he
:09:54. > :09:59.has been inside for burglary but he says the help he has received has
:09:59. > :10:04.changed his attitudes. I have had enough of the revolving circle. It
:10:04. > :10:10.is not me any more. I am motivated, I can do anything I put my mind to
:10:10. > :10:14.do. Whereas in the past, I would not have done that. Now, I can.
:10:14. > :10:19.governor may be sure Winchester is moving in the right direction. His
:10:19. > :10:24.challenge is to convince those beyond the prison. So can you
:10:24. > :10:28.guarantee next time you are tested you will be going up? I can't
:10:28. > :10:31.guarantee anything. Prisoners change from day-to-day. But I can say that
:10:32. > :10:35.if inspectors came in today, I think they would see this as a far better
:10:36. > :10:45.prison than they did this time last year. The governor of winter to

:11:18. > :11:21.to support the campaign. The men train army recruits around the UK.
:11:21. > :11:24.They claim Serco wants to make them redundant, then re-employ them on
:11:24. > :11:27.zero hours contracts with no guaranteed shifts or work pattern.
:11:27. > :11:31.They're now considering strike action. Serco say they are committed
:11:31. > :11:36.to resolving the dispute. problem we are facing is that they
:11:36. > :11:39.can say that they don't have work but we cannot say to our landlord
:11:39. > :11:43.that we don't have money. They can say that they don't have a job but
:11:43. > :11:49.we cannot have two our children that we don't have a meal. That is the
:11:49. > :11:55.problem. Let's be clear from the start, their motive is not finance
:11:55. > :11:59.their motive is that they have been promised and guaranteed something we
:12:00. > :12:09.take people on trust. For that to be broken is a significant thing for
:12:10. > :12:27.
:12:27. > :12:32.these guys and that is why they are resorting to that. John Lewis relies
:12:32. > :12:36.on the Romsey Good Neighbour scheme to take him to work. They rely on
:12:36. > :12:40.volunteers and unless people come forward, they struggle. It makes all
:12:40. > :12:48.the difference to my life. The only alternative for me would be taxis
:12:48. > :12:55.and they are expensive. I can't afford that. They are a life-saver.
:12:55. > :12:59.They take me to hospital. We given support. They are on bail that they
:12:59. > :13:01.are on their own, less of them have lost their spouses. Just being with
:13:02. > :13:06.them in hospital which is difficult for them when they're older really
:13:06. > :13:12.helps them. The Romsey Good Neighbour scheme has clocked up
:13:12. > :13:18.miles. They have taken 840 people to 4000 appointments in the last few
:13:18. > :13:25.years. More than one third of volunteers are in their 80s,
:13:25. > :13:31.including John Hensman. Anyone who volunteered to spend a few hours
:13:31. > :13:35.doing this is a big help and it saves having to turn are so many of
:13:35. > :13:43.the old people down. It makes you feel as if somebody is interested in
:13:43. > :13:49.you. It is just a great help. good neighbours lost 12 drivers last
:13:49. > :13:56.year. If they can replace them, they could guarantee the future of the
:13:56. > :13:59.service. A charity advice line in Berkshire
:13:59. > :14:03.says it has seen a huge surge in the number of older people calling it
:14:03. > :14:06.for financial help. Age UK Berkshire says the calls it's getting about

:14:21. > :14:25.A statue in the honour of somebody that the first person to have
:14:25. > :14:32.powered flight in Britain has been unveiled. Samuel Franklin Cody took
:14:32. > :14:38.off from Farnborough, and in 1908 for a flight which lasted 30
:14:38. > :14:44.seconds. He died in a plane crash 100 years ago at the same spot.
:14:44. > :14:47.The old showman can still pull in a crowd. Hundreds watched as Samuel
:14:47. > :14:54.Franklin Cody's statue was unveiled in Farnborough. The American-born
:14:54. > :14:58.man came to Britain as a wild West performer, doing trick shooting. But
:14:58. > :15:03.he developed a fascination with flying and he made the first powered
:15:03. > :15:07.flight in Britain in 1908. A very flamboyant character, full of life
:15:07. > :15:12.and somebody who was prepared to take risks and do things and push
:15:12. > :15:16.the boundaries. So, for me, it feel special to be a direct descendant of
:15:16. > :15:21.his. Farnborough is where he did his flying and it is also where his luck
:15:21. > :15:27.ran out. He died 100 years ago today when his aircraft broke up in
:15:27. > :15:32.midair. It is extraordinary that an American showman cowboy shirt in
:15:32. > :15:36.effect be a pioneer of British aviation? It is. When you look into
:15:36. > :15:42.the history, nobody could quite believe it at the time. That worked
:15:42. > :15:48.to his advantage. He was very forthright, he had a terrific vision
:15:48. > :15:50.and great capability. A self-taught engineer. The statue is outside the
:15:50. > :15:57.Farnborough Air Sciences Trust Museum. The organisation is
:15:57. > :16:01.determined that Cody's Cheeseman 's should be recognised. This is long
:16:01. > :16:07.overdue. This man made a tremendous contribution to British aviation.
:16:07. > :16:12.You have to be a remarkable man to do what he did. And Apache
:16:12. > :16:21.helicopter did a fly past in Cody's honour. He was a pioneering aviation
:16:21. > :16:25.and his was a life that was fuller, richer and faster than most.
:16:25. > :16:30.We have been following the statue back from the beginning. Good to see
:16:30. > :16:34.it in its place. Chris Temple has all the sport.
:16:34. > :16:43.Early days in the football season. There were mixed fortunes in the
:16:44. > :16:48.Capital One cup last night. The fortunes of Bournemouth and for
:16:48. > :16:52.-- Portsmouth have turned in contrasting did directions. They
:16:52. > :17:00.were in the same division last season but ended up at different
:17:00. > :17:03.ends. The Portsmouth goalkeeper was called into action early on. One
:17:03. > :17:13.goal was ultimately enough for Bournemouth in a school -- a
:17:13. > :17:13.
:17:14. > :17:17.scoreline which flattered a Portsmouth team. If we are
:17:17. > :17:22.ultra-clinical of ourselves, we could have created more clear cut
:17:22. > :17:31.chances and taken some goals. But we had a to do and we wanted to go up
:17:31. > :17:35.in the tie. Overall, it was good to be tightened up on a few things but
:17:35. > :17:44.disappointing because we lost. Cherries join Redding and
:17:44. > :17:51.Southampton in tomorrow's draw. Swindon have made a verbal offer

:21:00. > :21:06.well. We have come out a little bit ahead, and during the race starts,
:21:06. > :21:11.we can create a gap in the traffic to ferries -- to get very safely in
:21:12. > :21:16.and out. Do you have to tell people to get out of the way? Quite often.
:21:16. > :21:22.We use hand signals, slowdown, peel away blue lights on the top the
