:00:04. > :00:10.Welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme: A Southampton nurse is
:00:10. > :00:14.disciplined after handing a vulnerable patient a razor blade.
:00:14. > :00:24.More than 100 agency workers are laid off amid fears over the future
:00:24. > :00:30.of shipbuilding in Portsmouth. The fact that those people are losing
:00:30. > :00:34.their jobs today shows the uncertainty of the future of the
:00:34. > :00:37.naval base and shipbuilding in the country in general.
:00:37. > :00:39.We'll have a special report on fracking from America, as a firm
:00:39. > :00:43.seeks permission to continue exploratory drilling in West Sussex.
:00:43. > :00:45.And grappling with self defence — an international jujitsu competition is
:00:45. > :00:51.held in Hampshire for the first time.
:00:51. > :00:54.Last year it was on the bright lights of Las Vegas, this year it is
:00:54. > :01:07.here. Join me later. A Southampton mental health nurse
:01:07. > :01:11.has been cautioned for handing a patient a razor blade which she then
:01:11. > :01:14.cut herself with. Katherine Quinn was working in the Antelope House
:01:14. > :01:17.Mental Health unit when the incident took place. A disciplinary hearing
:01:17. > :01:22.in London today found that she was still fit to keep practising as a
:01:22. > :01:26.nurse. Our reporter Rob Powell was there and joins me now from London.
:01:26. > :01:29.Rob, what happened? Well, Katherine Quinn, a mental
:01:29. > :01:33.health nurse who had been practising in Southampton, admitted giving a
:01:33. > :01:40.patient a razor blade while on shift in May 2011 and allowing her to
:01:40. > :01:43.self—harm with it. The woman, who can only be referred to as patient
:01:43. > :01:47.A, had been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and
:01:47. > :01:52.had a history of self—harming. So why did she do it?
:01:52. > :01:55.Well, Quinn's line manager at the Antelope House Mental Health Unit
:01:55. > :01:59.told the hearing that she had said she was trying to do her best for
:01:59. > :02:02.the patient and that she was aware of other trusts that had policies
:02:02. > :02:05.that allowed therapeutic self—harming. The panel today
:02:05. > :02:10.decided that since 2011, Quinn had taken on extra training and
:02:10. > :02:13.supervision at work. And that an incident like this was highly
:02:13. > :02:15.unlikely to happen again. For this reason, it only issued her with a
:02:15. > :02:17.caution. Do we know anything more about this
:02:17. > :02:20.hospital? Well, an inspection carried out by
:02:20. > :02:23.the Care Quality Commission in August 2011, shortly after this
:02:23. > :02:24.incident, identified concerns with patient care plans at the unit. It
:02:24. > :02:52.said: And how have charities reacted to
:02:52. > :02:55.this? Today we spoke to the mental health
:02:55. > :03:02.charity Sane. This is what they said.
:03:02. > :03:07.We are waiting for very strong guidelines, which haven't yet
:03:07. > :03:14.appeared. In the meantime, it is the patient that counts. Someone who is
:03:14. > :03:21.so disturbed that the only way forward is to release that pain, as
:03:21. > :03:31.somebody said to me once, I cut in order to breed. You can take away
:03:31. > :03:35.their way of coping with severe distress.
:03:35. > :03:38.What has the NHS Trust said about this? Well, Southern Health NHS
:03:38. > :03:40.Foundation Trust had no—one available for an interview but in a
:03:40. > :04:01.statement said: Work has started on a new rail
:04:01. > :04:05.operations centre which will bring 500 jobs to Basingstoke.
:04:05. > :04:08.It's one of three being built by Network Rail in the South, with
:04:08. > :04:12.others at Didcot and Three Bridges. The centre will also train 300 rail
:04:12. > :04:18.staff at a time. Our Transport Correspondent, Paul Clifton,
:04:18. > :04:24.reports. A rundown disused car parked beside
:04:24. > :04:30.the railway. It has look like this for years but not for much longer.
:04:30. > :04:34.Work started this morning on a new control centre which will run on all
:04:34. > :04:42.trains from London Waterloo to the south coast. It will enable much
:04:43. > :04:46.more reliable, safe, cost—effective signalling and an additional
:04:46. > :04:52.training facility for all 6000 of our employees. There will be a
:04:52. > :04:57.training centre and space for 500 staff and 300 trainees.
:04:57. > :05:04.The jobs will be new to Basingstoke but not many will be new posts. Most
:05:04. > :05:09.will relocate from other sites. Bill—mac the jobs coming into the
:05:09. > :05:18.site will get hairy benefits to the town.
:05:18. > :05:22.Network Rail is a really important local employer and the effects for
:05:22. > :05:29.the local economy will be significant.
:05:29. > :05:34.12 sites will replace all 800 signal boxes nationwide. Three Bridges and
:05:34. > :05:38.Didcot will be the others in the South.
:05:38. > :05:44.This multimillion pound scheme is just one of many. Hot on the heels
:05:44. > :05:52.of Waitrose and John Lewis coming to the scene, it shows that this town
:05:52. > :06:01.is changing. This centre will control all trains
:06:01. > :06:13.coming from London to the south coast and as far over as Exeter.
:06:13. > :06:16.Energy company Cuadrilla has begun removing equipment from Balcombe as
:06:16. > :06:20.it no longer plans to frack there and Sussex Police is winding down
:06:20. > :06:23.its operation in the village after two months of protests. However, the
:06:23. > :06:26.Government is still keen on fracking and Energy Minister Greg Barker is
:06:26. > :06:29.in the States on a fact—finding mission. Our reporter Fiona Irving
:06:29. > :06:31.travelled with him and sent this report from Pennsylvania.
:06:31. > :06:36.The collared black gold and since fracking started here in
:06:36. > :06:45.Pennsylvania in 2007, there has been a rush to drill. —— they call it
:06:45. > :06:55.black gold. This is what they are drilling into 1.5 miles below our
:06:55. > :07:02.feet. We below the ground water and
:07:02. > :07:07.anything we need worry about. It has certainly busted some of the myths I
:07:07. > :07:14.was worried about. But those worries feel very real for those living in
:07:14. > :07:21.the countryside. People are worried about water
:07:21. > :07:32.pollution and concreting the countryside. It is not safe. They
:07:32. > :07:36.have continued to rack up violations.
:07:36. > :07:44.It is a dinosaur which refuses to lay down and die. Their day is over.
:07:44. > :07:51.This is 19th century energy. Coal and gas, fossil fuel.
:07:51. > :07:59.But the energy company says that it is safe and it is a pure US
:07:59. > :08:04.desperately needs. Under my feet, what they are drilling into is
:08:04. > :08:11.thought to be 500 trillion cubic feet of gas reserves.
:08:11. > :08:17.It has read to an American Revolution, falling unemployment and
:08:17. > :08:31.low energy prices. The government won't face is that Mac want a slice
:08:31. > :08:43.of this action. Are it could play it the role in combating climate
:08:43. > :08:52.change. If it is half as polluting as coal, it could bring down
:08:52. > :08:58.emissions globally. The arguments on both sides of the fracking debate
:08:58. > :09:02.play out regularly in Pennsylvania. With only exploratory drilling so
:09:02. > :09:08.far in Balcombe, those arguments are yet to reach their full force in the
:09:08. > :09:11.UK. Well, large tracts of land in the
:09:11. > :09:14.South which energy companies are eyeing up, in the hope they might be
:09:14. > :09:17.suitable for fracking, are also traditional Tory strongholds. That
:09:17. > :09:20.poses some big questions for David Cameron ahead of the Conservative
:09:20. > :09:24.Party conference which starts this weekend. Our political editor, Peter
:09:24. > :09:37.Henley, asked him if he'd been influenced by the protest in Sussex.
:09:37. > :09:42.There are some people who literally do not want any form of fuel to be
:09:42. > :09:50.discovered if it has got carbon in eight and I think they are being
:09:50. > :10:01.incredibly frustrating and naive —— carbon and it. They are so opposed
:10:01. > :10:05.to any form of carbon —based electricity that they cannot bear
:10:05. > :10:13.it. I think they are being very stubborn and wrong. Some concerns
:10:13. > :10:17.are coming from conservative areas. Are you listening to your grass
:10:17. > :10:24.roots? I am. I think there needs to be
:10:24. > :10:32.generalist payments to local areas, possibly up to £10 million per well
:10:32. > :10:41.to say that communities can really benefit from this resource. Can I
:10:41. > :10:49.ask about UK and Nigel Farage? Is there a possibility that he is more
:10:49. > :10:55.in touch with the grassroots than you are?
:10:55. > :11:02.I don't think so. We have had to make very difficult decisions. My
:11:02. > :11:06.message is that it is worth it if we complete the job and bring a
:11:06. > :11:11.recovery for everybody and show that if you work hard and do the right
:11:11. > :11:16.thing, we are on your side. If you focus on the big task of turning the
:11:16. > :11:26.country round, that is what we want. And Peter will be back with Sunday
:11:26. > :11:30.Politics on Sunday at 11am. More children are being adopted in
:11:30. > :11:36.the South. The numbers have increased since 2009, following a
:11:36. > :11:41.shake—up of the system which had been criticised for being slow.
:11:41. > :11:44.Still to come in this evening's South Today: We're at the World
:11:44. > :11:49.Jujitsu Championship which is being held in Andover.
:11:50. > :11:57.It is the art of self defence and it doesn't matter how big or small you
:11:57. > :12:00.are. Join me later in the programme. It's been confirmed today that 115
:12:00. > :12:05.agency workers at the BAE shipyard in Portsmouth have been laid off.
:12:05. > :12:12.Many were employed through the Fareham—based Matchtech employment
:12:12. > :12:16.company. There has been uncertainty at the future of shipbuilding in the
:12:16. > :12:19.city since last year when BAE began a review of its warship business
:12:19. > :12:28.across the UK. Steve Humphrey is with me now. Steve, why are these
:12:28. > :12:32.jobs going now? This is all to do with the lack of
:12:32. > :12:36.orders for new warships — both export orders and UK MoD orders. The
:12:36. > :12:48.agency staff had been involved in building three corvettes for Royal
:12:48. > :12:51.Oman Navy. It was a quite a decent—sized export contract but the
:12:51. > :12:54.work is coming to an end. 115 agency workers have been told they are no
:12:55. > :12:57.longer required. BAE says the contract workers were from a variety
:12:57. > :13:00.of trades including mechanical fitters, painters and joiners.
:13:00. > :13:03.And there has already been a question mark hanging over the long
:13:03. > :13:05.term future of shipbuilding in Portsmouth.
:13:05. > :13:08.Yes, last year BAE announced a review of its three warship building
:13:08. > :13:12.bases — the one in Portsmouth and two on the Clyde in Scotland. The
:13:12. > :13:15.review was launched because of the downturn in warship orders. The
:13:15. > :13:18.yard's biggest contract at the moment is for sections of the Navy's
:13:18. > :13:22.second aircraft carrier, HMS Prince of Wales. That work in Portsmouth
:13:22. > :13:25.will begin to wind down in 2015. BAE currently employs 3,200 of its own
:13:25. > :13:27.staff at the naval base in Portsmouth of which 1,300 are
:13:27. > :13:31.involved in shipbuilding. Today, unions repeated their calls for a
:13:31. > :13:39.decision to be made about the future of the UK's warship building
:13:39. > :13:43.industry. There does need to be a decision
:13:43. > :13:47.about how shipbuilding is going to be configured in this country going
:13:47. > :13:54.forward. Government clearly need to be part of making that decision but
:13:54. > :13:57.we recognise there is a question over Scottish independence which may
:13:57. > :14:02.be inhabiting that. But the longer it goes on, the more likely we are
:14:02. > :14:07.to see people losing their jobs. So, Steve, what is BAE saying today?
:14:07. > :14:09.Well, today, BAE issued a statement about the decision to lay off the
:14:09. > :14:25.115 agency workers. It says: Meanwhile, the employment company
:14:25. > :14:42.Matchtech has said it will be working with the people involved to
:14:42. > :14:45.try to identify new opportunities. Cycling campaigners say a new bridge
:14:45. > :14:48.across the River Thames in Berkshire, designed especially for
:14:48. > :14:50.those walking or cycling, will be hopelessly inadequate to cope with
:14:50. > :14:53.demand. Reading Borough Council has robustly defended the crossing which
:14:53. > :14:57.will link Caversham and Reading. Nikki Mitchell reports.
:14:57. > :15:06.It seems few cyclists are willing to risk cycling on the roads in this
:15:06. > :15:16.area. The Newbridge will connect with the main roads by Reading
:15:16. > :15:26.station. People can't walk. It's a good idea. It would be much easier.
:15:26. > :15:38.It will be built at a cost of £21 million.
:15:38. > :15:46.They believed the design is hopelessly inadequate. If you're
:15:46. > :15:50.going to get hundreds of cyclists and pedestrians using the bread at
:15:50. > :15:54.the same time then it is really important that the cyclists have
:15:54. > :16:06.their own space and pedestrians have their own space. But the council
:16:06. > :16:14.says that if cyclists know they are sharing the bread with people on
:16:14. > :16:19.foot, they will slow down. There are 50 similar bridges that
:16:19. > :16:30.have been built in the last ten years around England and none have a
:16:30. > :16:34.sacred segregated facility. It will work extremely well and proved to be
:16:34. > :16:40.very popular. The plans for this iconic structure and the sensitivity
:16:40. > :16:45.of its location will be reviewed in detail later this year.
:16:45. > :16:48.Andover is playing host to around 100 of the globe's top jujitsu
:16:48. > :16:50.competitors as the World Championships take place. The
:16:50. > :16:56.martial art involves opponents grappling, throwing and striking
:16:56. > :17:05.each other. Alexis Green has been watching them in action and is live
:17:05. > :17:09.at the event. Jujitsu is all about self defence
:17:09. > :17:17.and it doesn't matter how big or how small you are, it's great for all
:17:17. > :17:20.ages. The World Championships are taking place and today we learned
:17:20. > :17:27.all about the technique of grappling.
:17:27. > :17:35.Jujitsu was originally used by the Samurai soldiers in Japan, fighting
:17:35. > :17:40.each other on horseback with swords. Once they lost their weapon, they
:17:40. > :17:44.had to adapt, which is what today's sport is all about. The word jujitsu
:17:44. > :17:53.can be translated to mean gentle art. There are rules, even so
:17:53. > :18:03.competitors can kick or even choke each other. You are fighting for
:18:03. > :18:11.points so you need control when you're doing standing up the rose.
:18:11. > :18:21.But you're not too draw blood because we are not at war with
:18:21. > :18:29.anybody. England are favourites to win but
:18:29. > :18:38.not if the Canadians can help it. Our intention is to leave with the
:18:38. > :18:43.gold. For me it is interesting to practice in an international
:18:43. > :18:46.competition so I hope it will help me win.
:18:46. > :18:56.Five countries, one gold medal. The grapple for gold is on.
:18:56. > :19:01.That was about grappling but to tell us all about the other techniques is
:19:01. > :19:17.the director of the sport in England. You are six levels higher
:19:17. > :19:27.than a black belt, that's amazing. They are showing kicks and punches.
:19:27. > :19:36.Carla and Neal, I mean Chris, are doing some throws. It is the place
:19:37. > :19:42.to be. Can people come and watch? Yes, it is £10 for the day and
:19:42. > :19:54.tomorrow is the big team event. England can win! Are you ready? How
:19:54. > :20:03.was that? Very impressive. Tom this year with
:20:03. > :20:10.the sport. Do you fancy a go at that?
:20:10. > :20:16.I'm not sure. I think I heard the crunch of bones when he went down!
:20:16. > :20:19.A crowd of more than 6000 saw England's women thrash Turkey 8—0 in
:20:19. > :20:23.their World Cup qualifier at Fratton Park. Toni Duggan opened the scoring
:20:23. > :20:25.in the first minute and went on to score a first—half hat—trick. It
:20:25. > :20:27.follows England's 6—0 win against Belarus at Bournemouth. Let's have a
:20:27. > :21:03.look at the goals. That's a tour of Bengal and England
:21:03. > :21:09.have six. She scores and England have eight
:21:09. > :21:13.goals. You have to go back to 2007 since we
:21:13. > :21:18.saw more than eight goals in a game at Fratton Park, when Pompey beat
:21:18. > :21:21.Reading 7—4 in the Premier League. Now, Southampton will look to build
:21:21. > :21:25.on their victory at Liverpool last week. Saints host Crystal Palace at
:21:25. > :21:28.St Mary's and will be hoping for their first Premier League win at
:21:28. > :21:32.home since the end of March. Rickie Lambert scored twice the last time
:21:32. > :21:35.the clubs met. And one Saints legend is tipping him to be on the plane to
:21:35. > :21:44.Brazil should England qualify for the 2014 World Cup.
:21:44. > :21:48.What he has done has been phenomenal. There's not too many
:21:48. > :21:57.players who made their England debut after the age of 30, especially
:21:57. > :22:01.taking that career path. He has a hero in Southampton and rightly so.
:22:01. > :22:04.He has enough quality to make a difference at international level.
:22:04. > :22:07.In the Championship, on—loan Saints striker Billy Sharp goes straight
:22:07. > :22:09.into the Reading squad for their game against Birmingham. Bournemouth
:22:09. > :22:15.host Blackburn and Brighton travel to Ipswich.
:22:15. > :22:20.MK Dons host Stevenage and Swindon travel to Preston in League One. In
:22:20. > :22:27.League Two, Portsmouth travel to York and Oxford head north as well
:22:27. > :22:30.to Hartlepool. Commentary, as you'd expect, on your BBC Local radio
:22:30. > :22:35.station and we'll have highlights here on Monday.
:22:35. > :22:38.The basketball season gets underway this weekend in the BBL and Surrey
:22:39. > :22:44.United begin this season's campaign under new ownership. Earlier this
:22:44. > :22:48.month, the Surrey Sports Park and London United took over the
:22:48. > :22:52.franchise based in Guildford. It's meant a third name change in as many
:22:52. > :23:04.years but also access to a supply of talented young players.
:23:04. > :23:12.Alan Hansen once said that she cannot win anything with kids.
:23:12. > :23:20.Manchester United proved him wrong and Surrey United wants to do the
:23:20. > :23:34.same. They have their pick of local young players. We want to get
:23:34. > :23:40.players on scholarships. That should eradicate the issue of salaries. I
:23:40. > :23:46.wouldn't say we will go for cheap players, we will go for young up and
:23:46. > :23:51.coming players. We can act this 19—year—old hopes exposure in the
:23:51. > :23:55.top flight will boost his international career and knows what
:23:55. > :24:02.the motivation playing at this level can be for youngsters.
:24:02. > :24:15.Everybody is hungry. They all wanted. 12 of the students
:24:15. > :24:24.live together into student houses in Whickham. The manager is just hoping
:24:24. > :24:29.they do not come down with the flu. They are considering entering a side
:24:29. > :24:37.in one of the French regional leagues. But can they improve on
:24:37. > :24:43.last year's fourth—place? You can win things with young players. Alan
:24:43. > :24:50.Hansen was wrong. We can win with the kids. They start at home
:24:50. > :24:52.tomorrow. Couple more brief lines for you:
:24:53. > :24:55.Hampshire Cricket have signed all—rounder Matt Coles on a
:24:55. > :24:58.permanent deal from Kent and Portsmouth boxer Ebonie Jones lost
:24:59. > :25:01.her semi final on a split decision in the Women's Junior World Amateur
:25:01. > :25:04.Boxing Championships in Bulgaria. The 15—year—old has claimed the
:25:04. > :25:20.bronze medal though. Such a beautiful start to
:25:21. > :25:30.from one contact sports to another because Alexis is at the world
:25:30. > :25:43.jujitsu Championships. I want to see how you're getting on.
:25:43. > :25:53.I just bet that one move because my back is hurting a little!
:25:53. > :26:03.Let us look at the satellite picture from early on. The clouds broke up
:26:03. > :26:09.nicely to give highs of 19 Celsius. Tonight, the cloud will gather in
:26:09. > :26:21.places and there may be some showers. It will be cooler in the
:26:21. > :26:26.north of the region. There is still the chance of a shower tomorrow but
:26:26. > :26:33.most places will be dry during the morning. That risk of showers
:26:33. > :26:38.increases in the afternoon. They could be heavy in places, maybe even
:26:38. > :26:54.thundery, but there will be sunshine. Through the course of
:26:54. > :27:03.tomorrow night, patchy cloud once again. The majority of places
