:00:18. > :00:21.Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's
:00:21. > :00:24.programme... Shock on the island as the man
:00:24. > :00:27.behind the Ecoisland company is found dead at home.
:00:27. > :00:30.Banking in Bavaria — what the Germans can teach us about local
:00:30. > :00:32.banking and supporting a community. In a small town, a bank must be
:00:32. > :00:35.friendly. When convenience calls — cafes let
:00:35. > :00:38.customers use their toilets even if they aren't spending a penny.
:00:38. > :00:54.From handbags to hit man — the musical that charts murder at the
:00:54. > :00:58.Gucci fashion house. David Green, the founder of the Ecoisland company
:00:58. > :01:02.has been found dead at his home on the Isle of Wight. The organisation
:01:02. > :01:05.was set up to make the island energy self sufficient, but last week the
:01:05. > :01:10.company went into voluntary liquidation. Hampshire Police have
:01:10. > :01:16.confirmed that Mr Green was arrested on suspicion of fraud last Thursday.
:01:16. > :01:18.His death has shocked many on the Island. Our Home Affairs
:01:18. > :01:20.Correspondent, Alex Forsyth, has been following developments and
:01:20. > :01:24.joins me now. Mr Green had a vision to make the
:01:24. > :01:26.Isle of Wight a flagship of sustainability, using green
:01:27. > :01:30.technology like solar panels and a biomass plant to deliver power. He
:01:30. > :01:34.founded a community interest company to deliver this project — Ecoisland
:01:34. > :01:37.— but it ran into financial problems and last week went into voluntary
:01:37. > :01:40.liquidation. Today police said Mr Green has been found dead at his
:01:41. > :01:46.home in Gurnard on the Isle of Wight. A postmortem is due to be
:01:46. > :01:49.carried out, but his death is not being treated as suspicious.
:01:49. > :01:51.There was a police investigation following the liquidation of
:01:51. > :01:54.Ecoisland. What more do we know about that?
:01:54. > :01:57.The Isle of Wight council said last week it appeared approximately
:01:57. > :02:00.£115,000 of government funding for the Ecoisland project is unaccounted
:02:00. > :02:02.for and referred the matter to police. Hampshire Police have
:02:03. > :02:09.confirmed Mr Green was arrested last Thursday on suspicion of fraud. Now
:02:09. > :02:12.he has been found dead and the police have, as is standard,
:02:12. > :02:17.referred themselves to the IPCC, the police watchdog, who will examine
:02:17. > :02:20.events surrounding his death. What's been the initial reaction?
:02:20. > :02:23.Clearly there are some questions around financial elements of the
:02:23. > :02:26.Ecoisland project, likely to be answered in time, but right now the
:02:26. > :02:33.overwhelming response from people on the Island is one of shock and
:02:33. > :02:36.sadness. On internet sites like the On the Wight blog and Facebook,
:02:36. > :02:39.people are talking about Mr Green's kindness and commitment to the
:02:39. > :02:42.Island. He was a local man who before Ecoisland was involved in a
:02:42. > :02:45.sailing charity based in Cowes for 20 years. Many, including the
:02:45. > :02:50.Island's MP Andrew White, are saying this is a sad day and that thoughts
:02:50. > :02:57.are very much with his friends and family. They have paid tribute to
:02:57. > :03:01.him and offered their condolences. Thank you very much. An inquest in
:03:01. > :03:04.Dorset has decided that the poor condition of a fishing boat
:03:04. > :03:07.contributed to its sudden sinking and the deaths of its three crew.
:03:07. > :03:11.The Purbeck Isle went down off Portland in May last year and today
:03:11. > :03:13.experts catalogued a string of faults with the vessel, which
:03:13. > :03:16.included a rotting hull and overloading. The jury ruled that the
:03:16. > :03:27.deaths were an accident. James Ingham reports.
:03:27. > :03:30.This was a tragedy that every fishing town dreads, three men
:03:30. > :03:34.losing their lives on a boat which had been working the waters off
:03:34. > :03:39.Weymouth for years. But as the inquest in Dorchester heard, it was
:03:39. > :03:41.the state of that board that contributed to their deaths.
:03:41. > :03:44.The Purbeck Isle set out on what should have been an ordinary day at
:03:44. > :03:49.sea. Its crew were moving parts from
:03:49. > :03:57.winter fishing grounds nearshore to deeper water. Skipper David
:03:57. > :04:01.McFarlane and his two crew members, Jack Craig and Robert Prowse died
:04:01. > :04:06.when they were laying pots as the boat sank. Jason Scorer's body has
:04:06. > :04:13.never been found. Today, the families —— Robert Prowse's family
:04:13. > :04:18.was never found. Today the families were in court to hear that the board
:04:18. > :04:20.was in a poor condition and heavily loaded. The Marine Accident
:04:20. > :04:26.Investigation Branch said parts of the wooden hull were rotted. A
:04:26. > :04:31.liferaft had been stored incorrectly so it did not automatically inflate
:04:31. > :04:36.as intended. When the Purbeck Isle sank quickly, the crew stood little
:04:36. > :04:39.chance of surviving. The accident shocked the tight—knit fishing
:04:39. > :04:43.community in Weymouth, where the crew were well—known and liked.
:04:43. > :04:48.Other fishermen are determined to avoid that a tragedy happening
:04:48. > :04:53.again. We have a lot to learn from this report. I think the industry
:04:53. > :04:56.has to move forward with better health and safety requirements. It
:04:56. > :05:00.will upset a lot of people, but if every boat that sets seal comes back
:05:00. > :05:05.at the end of the day with everyone on board, that is a better job
:05:05. > :05:08.done. The coroner expressed his sympathies as the jury ruled that
:05:08. > :05:13.the young men died as a result of a tragic accident.
:05:13. > :05:16.There were strong emotions in court today as the verdict was read out.
:05:16. > :05:20.The grandfather of one of the crewmen shouted out that if the boat
:05:20. > :05:24.had not been at sea then his grandson would still be alive. But
:05:24. > :05:28.no one has been blamed for this accident, so the best that he and
:05:28. > :05:33.other family members can hope for is that safety at sea improves as a
:05:33. > :05:37.result of their deaths. James, thank you.
:05:37. > :05:41.A new community bank for Hampshire could be opening its doors within
:05:41. > :05:45.two years. The ambition is to lend money locally to those who need it
:05:45. > :05:50.and offer a better service than its high street rivals. The UK used to
:05:50. > :05:55.have local banks but they were lost. They still exists in Germany. ——
:05:55. > :05:58.they still exist in Germany. Our Business Correspondent, Alastair
:05:58. > :06:01.Fee, has been to Bavaria with one of the people leading the charge for
:06:01. > :06:04.new local banks, Southampton University's Professor of Banking,
:06:04. > :06:08.Richard Werner, to see how they work.
:06:08. > :06:14.These German businesses have one thing in common — bank they can
:06:14. > :06:21.trust. In a small town, a bank must be friendly. I think you can really
:06:21. > :06:25.rely on the bank. This is lower Bavaria, where the beers are bigger
:06:25. > :06:36.and the economy is strong. Richard Weller, professor of banking at
:06:37. > :06:41.Southampton University grew up here. —— Richard Werner. These are not for
:06:41. > :06:44.profit banks that lend locally. During the recession the increased
:06:45. > :06:48.lending. Germany has a network of local banks built on relationships
:06:48. > :06:52.with people. We know our customers and they know
:06:52. > :06:54.as personally, we know the business, we know their history and Fino
:06:54. > :07:03.hours. This is our success. —— and a zero
:07:03. > :07:05.hours. Beer has put Bavaria on the map.
:07:05. > :07:11.This is one of the biggest employers.
:07:11. > :07:14.For generations, the Count's family has built a relationship with the
:07:14. > :07:17.bank to ensure a steady flow of money. In the last few years when we
:07:17. > :07:23.needed money quickly it was no problem to ask our bank,
:07:23. > :07:28.Raiffeisenbank, to get the money quickly. They knew the family, they
:07:28. > :07:32.knew the character, they are very conservative and that is why we
:07:32. > :07:36.could get it without a problem. From start—up to local employer it took
:07:36. > :07:40.two days for this delegation to get the money needed to go. He is
:07:40. > :07:46.employing local employees, so everyone is benefiting. You think
:07:46. > :07:49.this type of business here would have received the same support in
:07:49. > :07:57.the UK? I think it is clear it would not have.
:07:57. > :08:00.The Sparkasse Landau are the most well—known of local banks come up
:08:00. > :08:08.ranch in almost every town and village. —— a branch in almost every
:08:08. > :08:12.turn. When the big banks stopped lending,
:08:12. > :08:17.they even increased their lending at that time. During the crisis, we
:08:17. > :08:21.forced the credit in this time and our business customers could
:08:21. > :08:27.continue to work. They could invest, there was no trouble. And
:08:27. > :08:31.the money was available for all, no matter how small the business. I
:08:31. > :08:41.have a friend on the other side. He helped me. He understands me he is
:08:41. > :08:45.not a gangster. Banking is actually very simple and the ingredients are
:08:45. > :08:51.all there in the UK. You just need to set up these local banks that
:08:51. > :08:55.offer credit for local communities. It seems the Germans have more
:08:55. > :08:58.reason to celebrate than most Europeans, and it is tradition that
:08:58. > :09:01.has got them where they are today. This has been going on for
:09:01. > :09:10.generations and, just like it, the beer is still flowing and the banks
:09:10. > :09:14.in the towns are still lending. Alistair enjoying his beer there.
:09:14. > :09:17.Years now in the studio. We've just seen how the local banking network
:09:17. > :09:20.supports small business. What about customers like you or I?
:09:20. > :09:23.Today I received an email from Pauline who lives in Northern
:09:23. > :09:28.Germany, who told me how it works for her. She has an account with her
:09:28. > :09:32.local Sparkasse bank. As a private customer it's the level of personal
:09:32. > :09:35.service that appears to be the real strength for her. That means a
:09:35. > :09:39.representative can be phoned or emailed directly, and customers get
:09:39. > :09:42.a quick response. Also the attitude to personal debt in Germany is
:09:42. > :09:46.interesting. Borrowing is much different. The use of credit cards
:09:46. > :09:51.is much lower, and those bills tend to be fully cleared every month. Of
:09:51. > :09:54.course, over the credit card bills can roll from month.
:09:54. > :09:58.Of course, Germany also has big national banks — how do these banks
:09:58. > :10:01.fit in? —— over here. There are big banks like Deutcherbank and
:10:01. > :10:03.Commerzbank, but these tend to have much bigger customers, like the big
:10:03. > :10:06.energy companies and major industrial firms in Germany.
:10:06. > :10:11.So it's a different focus, which is why the local banks have had such
:10:11. > :10:14.success. It is important to remember that those big banks in Germany
:10:14. > :10:20.reduced lending during the downturn, just like they did here, while the
:10:20. > :10:24.small banks increased their loans. What hurdles would a similar network
:10:24. > :10:27.of banks here face? That challenge here would be
:10:27. > :10:31.building up that trust between bank and customer that we saw in Germany
:10:31. > :10:37.and initially would be missing for a new local bank in Hampshire.
:10:37. > :10:45.Politicians across all the parties are interested in this subject. Of
:10:45. > :10:48.course, it is Labour who say they would actively looked at
:10:48. > :10:54.reintroducing a network of regional banks, should they get into power.
:10:54. > :10:57.Thank you very much. Still to come in this evening's South Today...
:10:57. > :11:05.She's paralysed from the shoulders down and training to raise money for
:11:05. > :11:10.a spinal injuries charity. A man has been jailed for life for the murder
:11:10. > :11:15.of a mother of three from Berkshire. She was found strangled
:11:15. > :11:19.in Robin Hood cops on June the 3rd. She was a Nepalese national whose
:11:19. > :11:24.husband was part of the Royal Gurkha Rifles regiment. Today, 30—year—old
:11:24. > :11:31.Glen John Elson from the area pleaded guilty to murder and
:11:31. > :11:34.attempted rape. Vandals are thought to have caused
:11:34. > :11:43.£6—700,000 worth of damage, writing off three light aircraft that were
:11:43. > :11:49.rammed repeatedly with a stolen 4x4. Joe Campbell reports. Former British
:11:49. > :11:57.Airways jumbo jet pilot Peter Ford was removing anything of value that
:11:57. > :12:01.remained in his pride and joy — this vintage 1950s Cessna aeroplane as it
:12:01. > :12:07.was vandalised overnight. The aim was obviously right. They came with
:12:07. > :12:11.a four—wheel drive, pushed the aircraft into the back of the barn
:12:11. > :12:16.here and then came again and, as you can see, this wing strut which keeps
:12:16. > :12:20.the wing on normally, has completely broken and snapped the wing off,
:12:20. > :12:27.then pushed it further into the building, which the wing tip in. It
:12:27. > :12:32.is a write—off. Other pilots were today dropping in to see the damage
:12:32. > :12:36.and offer sympathy to beat and the owners of the other two planes
:12:36. > :12:40.smashed up here. Staff here on the estate were
:12:40. > :12:45.alerted shortly before 7am this morning. After reports that a number
:12:45. > :12:49.of animals had escaped onto the nearby Afour. When the team to
:12:49. > :12:52.investigate, they found a gate had been forced open and further down
:12:52. > :12:59.the track on the airfield they found this.
:12:59. > :13:04.We're pretty sure they were in after hours after us —— after here is, not
:13:04. > :13:07.just coursing but driving the animals over, running them over.
:13:07. > :13:13.That is what it started as and it has turned into this damage we have
:13:13. > :13:14.here. 29—year—old man is tonight under arrest in Abingdon after being
:13:14. > :13:25.detained by Valley police. A bit of a personal question for
:13:25. > :13:29.you. How many times have you been caught
:13:29. > :13:32.short when out and about, only to be told your not allowed to use a pub,
:13:32. > :13:35.or a shop's toilet because you're not a paying customer? In
:13:35. > :13:39.Portsmouth, many premises are opening up their loos to all and
:13:39. > :13:42.sundry. It is part of a scheme to make up for the closure of
:13:42. > :13:46.council—run toilets to save money. Rob Powell has more.
:13:46. > :13:49.Welcome to the people's pretty. This is a community toilet inside a
:13:49. > :13:54.Southsea cafe, but anyone can use it, not just paying customers. It is
:13:54. > :13:59.good for us, they come in and use the toilet, they will usually buy
:13:59. > :14:03.your drink something, take a can or whatever, but even if they don't, it
:14:03. > :14:09.is fine. It is good to have the community with all the toilets
:14:09. > :14:12.shouting. 12 of these community toilets have opened in Portsmouth
:14:12. > :14:16.and they all have this sign in the window. Community toilets are part
:14:16. > :14:21.of the council pushed to save money on spending a penny. 12 facilities
:14:21. > :14:25.across the community will close, 12 and stay open and two will start
:14:25. > :14:29.charging 20p a visit. The council say it will shave 20,000 bones of
:14:29. > :14:34.the public toilet budget but not everyone is happy. We used to sit
:14:34. > :14:39.here and people come here all day long trying to get into those
:14:39. > :14:45.toilets. I see men at my age who need the toilet. I think it will get
:14:45. > :14:49.people started to weep behind trees and do things anywhere, because
:14:49. > :14:53.there are no toilets. I am not concerned, but with baby changing
:14:53. > :14:57.iamb, sometimes you have to — in there. If it means paying 20p and
:14:57. > :15:02.getting a clean toilet it better than having them not closed down.
:15:02. > :15:05.But the council says some closures are unavoidable. The council cannot
:15:05. > :15:08.afford all the services we had in the past but what we can do is to
:15:08. > :15:12.work with those other places, shops, pubs, community centres, that
:15:12. > :15:18.are happy for people to use their toilets. The hope is that more
:15:18. > :15:29.businesses will join the community toilet scheme, saving the council a
:15:29. > :15:31.pretty penny in the process. Not related to that, here is Tony
:15:31. > :15:47.husband, fresh from his holiday. From pilots to sport!
:15:48. > :15:53.I got a text saying we are in the championship! We have had such a
:15:53. > :15:58.good end to the season. Few would bet
:15:58. > :16:04.it is all set up beautifully here at Wimborne Road.
:16:04. > :16:08.The fans might not have lifted a trophy for a change last night, but
:16:08. > :16:14.they may have seen the pivotal race at this grand final. Signs of nerves
:16:14. > :16:19.were unsure even in heat one. Jason Doyle burst through the tapes and
:16:19. > :16:23.eliminated from the race. It in a bold pool to set out into an early
:16:23. > :16:30.lead from which they would never be caught. —— it enabled Poole. Greg
:16:30. > :16:36.Hancock as wowed speedway fans over the years. The advantage reached 14
:16:36. > :16:40.point after seven heats, when Birmingham rider Dani Keane turned
:16:40. > :16:46.over. The experience of Hancock in the Poole line—up is confident it by
:16:46. > :16:51.these daredevil spirit of Darcy Ward, providing a maximum return on
:16:51. > :16:59.the night. Poole rammed home the advantage late on, a final score of
:16:59. > :17:04.57—36 giving them a huge lead going into next Monday's second leg. They
:17:04. > :17:08.are odds—on for what would have been considered as a prized title win
:17:08. > :17:12.earlier in the season. Yes, all being well I will go up to
:17:12. > :17:16.Birmingham next Monday for the second leg. Good luck to the Isle of
:17:16. > :17:22.Wight riders as they raced the second league of their —— second leg

:20:05. > :20:09.ago. I broke my neck in two places and I had a fracture of the hip. I
:20:09. > :20:16.broke several ribs and had a collapsed lung and I broke my left
:20:16. > :20:22.wrist, as well. With no movement in her hands, legs or torso, every
:20:22. > :20:27.stroke is an achievement. Jan is able to do around 115 eight —— she
:20:27. > :20:34.was able to do 115 lengths per hour, no she is up to 160. Although the
:20:34. > :20:40.training is going well, I won and a half—mile swim will push Jan to her
:20:40. > :20:44.limits. She needs to do 200 lengths, so it will be an extra 40 in a
:20:44. > :20:50.similar space of time, so she will have to work really hard. For name
:20:50. > :20:54.—— Jan all the hard work is about to pay off as she is well on her way of
:20:54. > :20:59.reaching her goal. And very Best of luck, Jan.
:20:59. > :21:09.Evita, Les Miserables and Fiddler on the Roof. They are famous musicals
:21:09. > :21:14.which were inspired by real events. There may soon be another to add to
:21:14. > :21:17.the list — a production based on the contract killing of the head of a
:21:17. > :21:20.powerful Italian family. Its not the Mafia but the Gucci fashion house
:21:20. > :21:24.and the 1995 murder of Maurizio Gucci arranged by his ex—wife.
:21:24. > :21:26.There's a premiere of the work this weekend in London and it's by
:21:26. > :21:30.Hampshire composer Marcos D'Cruze, who joins me now.
:21:30. > :21:34.We have a glamorous couple, divorce, hit man, murder, a psychic adviser —
:21:34. > :21:40.it is all there, but how did you find out about the story? I had a
:21:40. > :21:46.very good friend who said to me, you are standing on the spot where
:21:46. > :21:50.Maurizio Gucci was shot. I said, you are confused, that is verse actually
:21:50. > :21:55.in Miami. He said, no, right here, I googled it, formed by co—writer and
:21:55. > :21:58.said, I have a great idea for a musical. The murder of Maurizio
:21:58. > :22:03.Gucci. He said that is either the best idea I have heard or the worst.
:22:03. > :22:10.Here we are. It has all the drama of what I would say is an opera. Yes,
:22:10. > :22:14.old school. It is of the —— female Othello, Carmen, all those great
:22:14. > :22:18.stories and it was a great opportunity to write some passionate
:22:18. > :22:26.music. You have is composed some music, haven't you? That is my take,
:22:26. > :22:30.Flamenco is my job and I wrote most of it on the guitar. We should say
:22:30. > :22:35.US is using a net, you are not singing in it, are you? You have the
:22:35. > :22:42.stars doing that. Let's listen and see what this is all about.
:22:42. > :22:54.Oh, Mrs Gucci. You excelled as Mrs Gucci you amazed
:22:55. > :23:05.us all. Oh, Mrs Gucci.
:23:05. > :23:08.How you blazed, Mrs Gucci. We are just waiting for the sound.
:23:08. > :23:18.View crashing the ground. A little taste of it there. It is
:23:18. > :23:24.interesting how you raised the money for this, you did what we called
:23:24. > :23:27.crowdfunding. How did this work? We developed the platform that we
:23:27. > :23:35.raised the money on. We have done everything from the ground. It was
:23:35. > :23:39.done at a studio was that was a converted tractor shed. We rehearsed
:23:39. > :23:43.the whole thing there. The crowdfunding idea is that people
:23:43. > :23:47.give money because they like the idea and presumably they will get a
:23:47. > :23:51.ticket to the event? They have is that, but then we also have some
:23:51. > :23:57.very gifted actors who have a fan following. Julia Thurston, who plays
:23:57. > :24:01.Patricia, brings a fan base. It is because of the loyal followers be
:24:01. > :24:06.managed to attract people. We should explain that on Sunday it is a
:24:06. > :24:10.concert, not a musical. You are hoping for something big from this
:24:10. > :24:15.concert, ardent you? What we want to be able to do is present the show
:24:15. > :24:19.and its best form, and that is a concert at the moment because we
:24:19. > :24:22.don't have the budget for a full—blown production. We would like
:24:22. > :24:26.a producer to come along. An impresario.
:24:26. > :24:28.Do you think you will get someone on Sunday?
:24:29. > :24:33.I don't know about Sunday, but we already have people sniffing.
:24:33. > :24:38.We have someone on Broadway and someone on the West End. I cannot
:24:38. > :24:43.say, but they are there already. We are talking millions of pounds, are
:24:43. > :24:48.we not? Millions. Fingers crossed we could
:24:48. > :24:51.see Mrs Gucci. Thank you for coming. We can tell you very quickly it will
:24:51. > :24:57.be premiered on Sunday at the arts Theatre in London. Good luck with
:24:57. > :25:01.that. We might go to the West End! Onto the weather, Alexis is here.
:25:01. > :25:05.It has been lovely to be. Yes, the last of the warm weather

:25:34. > :25:38.before the slide back to the seasonal average. We will see patchy
:25:38. > :25:41.rain tonight, showers or rein in the initial forecast but it will become
:25:41. > :25:46.drier through the second part of the night with clear spells, as well.
:25:46. > :25:52.Temperatures will fall to around 12 or 13 Celsius, the last of the mild

:26:03. > :26:05.increases in the afternoon. Temperatures will only rise to
:26:05. > :26:09.around 15 or 16 Celsius. These are average temperatures for the time of

:26:18. > :26:21.could be some showers at times before it becomes dry with clear

:26:37. > :26:40.or four Celsius. —— 548 Celsius is the law. There is a risk of some
:26:40. > :26:45.pockets of frost but the wind should keep that I'd be in most places.
