:00:00. > :00:13.Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme.
:00:14. > :00:17.The son of a woman who died at the Orchid View Care Home calls for a
:00:18. > :00:26.public inquiry into the neglect and abuse there. We have got a company
:00:27. > :00:31.that viewed the residents as a cash machine.
:00:32. > :00:33.Welcome to winter ` lightning, torrential rain and flooding sweeps
:00:34. > :00:37.across the South. His hands saved the lives of
:00:38. > :00:46.thousands ` memorial tributes to a pioneering children's heart surgeon.
:00:47. > :00:51.He supported you reading a normal life.
:00:52. > :00:53.And top of the poppies ` the girls aiming for number one as they raise
:00:54. > :01:13.money for the poppy appeal. The son of a woman who died at the
:01:14. > :01:17.Orchid View Care home in West Sussex has called for a public inquiry into
:01:18. > :01:20.what went on there. A coroner ruled last week that institutionalised
:01:21. > :01:23.abuse and neglect contributed to the death of Margaret Tucker, and four
:01:24. > :01:26.other elderly people. It's also emerged that two managers criticised
:01:27. > :01:29.at the inquest, and subsequently taken on by the home's new owners,
:01:30. > :01:46.Care UK, have now left their positions. This report from Rebecca
:01:47. > :01:58.Williams. They viewed the residents as a cash machine. Her son said she
:01:59. > :02:15.received a number of unexplained bruises. I went to the funeral home
:02:16. > :02:24.and promised I would get answers. Part of me wanted to halt the
:02:25. > :02:34.funeral and call the police. What do you do? On Friday a coroner ruled
:02:35. > :02:51.that Margaret was one of five residents who died as a result of
:02:52. > :03:00.the key date received. `` the care. Southern Cross does not provide the
:03:01. > :03:10.care. Is the review going far enough? It is a step in the right
:03:11. > :03:21.direction. Orchid View closed in 2011. We intend to run a root and
:03:22. > :03:28.branch review. We will look at what has happened in this case. The
:03:29. > :03:46.building has now reopened with a different name by a new company.
:03:47. > :03:54.Russell says he is satisfied with the verdict but he has and answered
:03:55. > :03:58.questions. So how did you sleep last night? The
:03:59. > :04:07.South was treated ` if that's the word ` to a dramatic lightning
:04:08. > :04:10.storm. It made for spectacular pictures as it moved across
:04:11. > :04:13.Hampshire and Sussex, and these are some of your memorable images. With
:04:14. > :04:16.the lightning, came torrential rain and high winds. It caused flash
:04:17. > :04:19.floods, uprooted trees, and forced the abandonment of a league football
:04:20. > :04:22.match. And though there were no reports of injuries, the lightning
:04:23. > :04:25.left at least one home badly damaged. Steve Humphrey reports.
:04:26. > :04:28.Flashes of lightning lit up the sky repeatedly ` as storm clouds rolled
:04:29. > :04:31.across the region. It was spectacular ` and the thunder and
:04:32. > :04:35.lightning was accompanied by strong winds and heavy rain. One bolt from
:04:36. > :04:38.the sky struck the Hampshire home of a retired engineer ` who was once
:04:39. > :04:42.involved in building satellites that were sent into space. 72`year`old
:04:43. > :04:45.Allan Burgess was in the jacuzzi at the local gym when he was told his
:04:46. > :05:00.house at Shirrell Heath near Shedfield was on fire. I don't know
:05:01. > :05:08.what the chances of getting hit by lightning are. One in a million the
:05:09. > :05:12.fact it did this a night of damage is an eye opener.
:05:13. > :05:24.10,000 jazz records and much personal memorabilia has been
:05:25. > :05:29.destroyed. Photograph Amble `` photograph albums. I have lost all
:05:30. > :05:34.those memories. Dozens of memorable images of the storm were captured by
:05:35. > :05:37.South Today viewers. Many reckoned it was the biggest and longest
:05:38. > :05:40.lasting electrical storm for many years. The heavy rain caused
:05:41. > :05:45.flooding in the centre of Winchester. And there was deep water
:05:46. > :05:47.on the roads and on an industrial park in Chichester.
:05:48. > :05:50.Amongst the most intense downpours was this one in Portsmouth. At
:05:51. > :05:53.Fratton Park, the match between Portsmouth and Wycombe was
:05:54. > :06:02.eventually abandoned. The tunnel leading to the dressing rooms filled
:06:03. > :06:08.with water. You could see the thunder and lightening gathering
:06:09. > :06:17.above the ground. The heavens just opened. Today as Fratton Park
:06:18. > :06:20.started drying out, people here started wondering what the weather
:06:21. > :06:24.holds in store for the thousands who'll compete in the Great South
:06:25. > :06:29.Run ` which takes place in the city on Sunday.
:06:30. > :06:33.More on the weather with Alexis later in the programme ` more of
:06:34. > :06:36.your pictures too. And just to say that Inside Out will be looking at
:06:37. > :06:38.the region's wild weather next Monday.
:06:39. > :06:41.Police in Hampshire say they are increasingly concerned for the
:06:42. > :06:44.welfare of a girl who went missing from her home in Ringwood at the
:06:45. > :06:47.weekend. But their investigation is more complicated than a conventional
:06:48. > :06:50.missing person search ` the girl concerned is a Vietnamese teenager
:06:51. > :07:02.who was illegally trafficked into the UK. Laura Trant reports.
:07:03. > :07:11.She escaped the poverty of her home for the promise of Europe. She was
:07:12. > :07:17.working in Southampton before being put in the care of social services.
:07:18. > :07:25.She had been staying with foster parents but went missing on Saturday
:07:26. > :07:30.morning. She may be looking for refuge. What are your biggest fears?
:07:31. > :07:44.She may fall into the hands of somebody who will treat her badly. A
:07:45. > :07:50.charity says 550 children were trafficked in and out of the UK last
:07:51. > :07:58.year. Of those more than 100 came from Vietnam. Some are flown into
:07:59. > :08:26.the UK but most come in lorries from Russia and the cheque Republic. ``
:08:27. > :08:31.Czech Republic. It is not known how long this person
:08:32. > :08:36.was in the UK but police say she does not speak much English and does
:08:37. > :08:42.not have any money. Police are appealing for anybody with
:08:43. > :08:45.information to contact them. Plans to bring in a private firm to
:08:46. > :08:48.clean The Royal Surrey County Hospital could face a legal
:08:49. > :08:51.challenge after managers failed to put the contract out to tender. The
:08:52. > :08:54.?12 million deal with firm, Medirest, will see 200 staff
:08:55. > :09:05.including porters and receptionists as well as cleaners, transferred out
:09:06. > :09:09.of the public sector. They may not be doctors or nurses
:09:10. > :09:14.that the staff here on reception at the public face of the NHS. In
:09:15. > :09:19.future, if the hospital gets its way, they will no longer be employed
:09:20. > :09:27.by the NHS, but transferred to a private contractor. They joined the
:09:28. > :09:31.NHS to serve the public. They do not want to work for a private,
:09:32. > :09:35.profit`making company. Our experience of privatisation is that
:09:36. > :09:40.it leads to lower morale and good services. One of the key things you
:09:41. > :09:49.lose is control. Porters, receptionists, and cleaners, well be
:09:50. > :10:01.outsourced. The hospital denies it is breaking the rules. Everyone is
:10:02. > :10:07.affected by change. We had some changes last year. We looked at the
:10:08. > :10:11.options. It is not just a case of picking on the porters at the
:10:12. > :10:16.cleaners. In any case we are going to protect their terms and
:10:17. > :10:20.conditions. The hospital says the savings will amount to 400,000
:10:21. > :10:24.pounds per year, money that will be desperately needed as it tries to
:10:25. > :10:28.recruit more nurses and improve its intensive care units.
:10:29. > :10:33.But the worry is that cutting corners in some areas could in the
:10:34. > :10:42.long`term cost the hospital and patients dear.
:10:43. > :10:45.The skipper of a yacht which collided with an oil tanker in the
:10:46. > :10:49.Solent during Cowes week 2011 has told a court he didn't take
:10:50. > :10:51.unnecessary risks in the run up to the incident. Roland Wilson denies
:10:52. > :10:55.contravening maritime regulations. He said his yacht was on a safe
:10:56. > :10:58.course, but before the collision the tanker made an unexpected manoeuvre.
:10:59. > :11:04.The prosecution claim Mr Wilson cut it too fine. His defence team said
:11:05. > :11:07.the tanker was travelling too fast. They said it was an accident in
:11:08. > :11:10.which no`one was seriously hurt, and a prosecution was not proportionate.
:11:11. > :11:14.Still to come in this evening's South Today: A miracle recovery for
:11:15. > :11:20.the former Saints footballer who was fighting for his life just weeks
:11:21. > :11:27.ago. I was very close to dying. There were decisions that had to be
:11:28. > :11:30.made which I cannot comprehend. Former patients, distinguished
:11:31. > :11:33.surgeons from across the world and hospital staff gathered at Romsey
:11:34. > :11:39.Abbey today to pay tribute to a true unsung hero. Outside the medical
:11:40. > :11:44.profession, James Monro was little known. Yet his skills as a heart
:11:45. > :11:49.surgeon saved the lives of thousands, including many children.
:11:50. > :11:51.He was one of the key figures behind the world`renowned children's heart
:11:52. > :12:08.unit at Southampton General Hospital. Briony Leyland reports.
:12:09. > :12:19.The crowds were not for a celebrity. " EU 's James Monro built
:12:20. > :12:37.a pioneering reputation. `` N 30 years James Monro.
:12:38. > :12:41.He did not just treat the problem or the issue. He supported you in
:12:42. > :12:51.leading a completely normal life. He helped me get into university. He
:12:52. > :13:03.also came to my wedding they see me and was extremely supportive to my
:13:04. > :13:10.family. People will not appreciate now that children's heart surgery
:13:11. > :13:15.was in its infancy when James Monro started. To get all children through
:13:16. > :13:24.these complex operations and for them to live was a remarkable
:13:25. > :13:30.achievement. The service heard how he was totally dedicated to his
:13:31. > :14:00.job. You was also a devoted father to his children.
:14:01. > :14:04.He was an amazing technician. He was an important man. Everybody loved
:14:05. > :14:24.him. We were fortunate to have him. James Monro died of prostate cancer
:14:25. > :14:29.in August. He had retired in 2004 able to look back on a career that
:14:30. > :14:39.had saved and changed thousands of lives. I asked him did he miss it.
:14:40. > :15:03.He said he did not. He puts down his scalpel on his 65th birthday. He
:15:04. > :15:07.felt he had done enough. Portsmouth's game never made it to
:15:08. > :15:17.the second half thanks to the extraordinary storm at Fratton Park.
:15:18. > :15:24.This was the scene pre match as the game kicked off in dry conditions.
:15:25. > :15:28.By the time Wycombe took the lead the rain was falling, and already
:15:29. > :15:34.the pitch was very wet. Billy Knott with the goal and the slide.
:15:35. > :15:38.Portsmouth equalised right on half time, Patrick Agyemang pouncing from
:15:39. > :15:41.close range. With the conditions worsening the referee Lee Collins
:15:42. > :15:52.consulted both managers, but play continued for another few minutes.
:15:53. > :15:56.But it was apparent from these pictures just before the whistle for
:15:57. > :15:59.half time went that the conditions were unplayable. Just after the
:16:00. > :16:02.players went off for half time more lightning was seen in the sky, and
:16:03. > :16:14.then Fratton Park was subjected to sweeping wind and rain as the match
:16:15. > :16:17.was officially postponed. England's cricketers fly out later
:16:18. > :16:20.for this winter's tour of Australia and the Ashes series. Hampshire
:16:21. > :16:23.batsman Michael Carberry will be among the party. Another fine season
:16:24. > :16:27.with the bat has earned the opener his place. Also on the plane former
:16:28. > :16:28.Hampshire team mates Chris Tremlett, now with Surrey, and Kevin
:16:29. > :16:31.Pietersen. Now to the remarkable story of the
:16:32. > :16:34.former Southampton academy player who grew up playing alongside the
:16:35. > :16:37.likes of Gareth Bale and Theo Walcott but whose recovery from a
:16:38. > :16:41.life threatening illness is being described as a miracle by doctors.
:16:42. > :16:44.In August, Kyle Critchell who was playing for Weymouth Football Club,
:16:45. > :16:48.was diagnosed with a condition known as Severe Sepsis. Months of
:16:49. > :16:52.rehabilitation lie ahead, but Kyle is on the road to recovery and he's
:16:53. > :17:09.given his first interviews to the BBC's Laurence Herdman.
:17:10. > :17:18.In 2005 precautions can sign up to the youth team. But eight years
:17:19. > :17:24.later he faced his darkest hour. I went to a training game. I had a
:17:25. > :17:44.sore back. The pain was terrible. We called the paramedics. They gave me
:17:45. > :17:53.a lot of pain relief. Sepsis is accounts for 37,000 deaths in the UK
:17:54. > :18:02.every year. Very quickly he became dangerously
:18:03. > :18:09.ill. I asked my partner and brother a few questions regarding am I
:18:10. > :18:19.dying? Doctors prepared his family for the worst. He was in hiding
:18:20. > :18:28.tendency unit. It was a case of whether he should go into life
:18:29. > :18:44.support. They tried three different believing machines. `` believing.
:18:45. > :18:53.They were not expecting me to make a full recovery. It has to be a minor
:18:54. > :18:59.miracle. I am so happy to see I have come through it and hopefully I can
:19:00. > :19:04.live my life normally. Football means everything to Kyle but whether
:19:05. > :19:19.he resumes at playing spell remains to be seen. Now the focus is to get
:19:20. > :19:29.well and raise awareness of sepsis. It is our wonderful story. As a
:19:30. > :19:37.teenager he kept an appeal out of the academy team. `` Gareth Bale.
:19:38. > :19:40.Two Hampshire schoolgirls have been chosen to perform on the British
:19:41. > :19:44.Legion's first ever charity single ` and it means they'll be singing in
:19:45. > :19:47.front of the Queen at the Festival of Remembrance in November. Alice
:19:48. > :19:49.Milburn from Southsea, and Florence Ransom from Petersfield competed
:19:50. > :19:56.against 1,000 other young hopefuls to become part of a five`strong girl
:19:57. > :20:00.band. Their single will go on general sale on November the 10th,
:20:01. > :20:07.but let's hear some of it for the first time.
:20:08. > :20:26.They sing in the hope we will remember them. It reminds you of
:20:27. > :20:29.them. You are singing for them. Florence is the daughter of navy
:20:30. > :20:34.officer from Petersfield. But she's also part of a five girl band, has a
:20:35. > :20:44.record deal and will sing in front of royalty at the Festival of
:20:45. > :20:48.Remembrance. I do say to myself, I am ten years old and I am recording
:20:49. > :20:56.an album and I am going to sing in front of the Queen. Not many people
:20:57. > :21:00.get to do that. She'll also be joined by 13`year`old
:21:01. > :21:03.Alice from Southsea. Like Florence, she was chosen after an X
:21:04. > :21:14.Factor`style talent`spotting competition by the Royal British
:21:15. > :21:17.Legion. Every word the girls sing is
:21:18. > :21:20.personal, because only children whose parents or siblings are in the
:21:21. > :21:34.Armed Forces could enter the competition. Military children are
:21:35. > :21:50.part of the military culture. They do not ask to be. They support
:21:51. > :21:57.people who have served four hours. `` people who have served for all of
:21:58. > :22:01.us. And on the day Alice and Florence
:22:02. > :22:04.stand up to sing in front of the Queen, millions of people will be
:22:05. > :22:13.supporting, watching and remembering.
:22:14. > :22:20.The single is called The Call (No Need To Say Goodbye). You can hear
:22:21. > :22:32.it on the one show immediately after this.
:22:33. > :22:37.Here is the weather. Not uncommon to have a thunderstorm
:22:38. > :22:51.at this time of year. It was an active band of
:22:52. > :23:05.thunderstorms. It was similar to the storm we had on Saturday and Sunday.
:23:06. > :23:08.Is there more of this to come? On Sunday night we could have more
:23:09. > :23:12.storms. Fork lightning captured by Will
:23:13. > :23:16.Evans from Mudeford Quay in Dorset. This shot of the lightning over Ryde
:23:17. > :23:20.on the Isle of Wight was taken by Steve Wright. And Charlotte Sloman
:23:21. > :23:30.who is aged 14 took this photo as the sky lit up in Hedge End.
:23:31. > :23:41.One or two showers. Most places stayed dry. The winds will stay dry
:23:42. > :23:57.tonight. Still the possibility that temperatures will fall away. I
:23:58. > :24:03.called start to the day tomorrow. Winds will increase from the
:24:04. > :24:16.Southeast. Most places will stay dry. Still a pleasant day. I dry
:24:17. > :24:22.start tomorrow night. A band of rain pushing up from the South.
:24:23. > :24:31.Temperatures stay miles despite the cloud and the rain. A wet start to
:24:32. > :24:41.the day on Friday. The front will move North and East words. Strong
:24:42. > :24:56.south`westerly winds. Some showers hit and miss. We will see sunny
:24:57. > :25:00.spells for the rest of the week. Through the course of the week it
:25:01. > :25:13.will stay and settled. We are expecting rain at times. Friday and
:25:14. > :25:32.very wet start to the day. The Southwest. Wet and windy on Sunday.
:25:33. > :25:36.Now, what can you do with a pumpkin? But what you might not think of
:25:37. > :25:39.doing is using it as a boat. But that's just what Dmitri Galitzine,
:25:40. > :25:43.who's an artist, did in Portsmouth today in one of the most bizarre
:25:44. > :25:46.world record attempts you're ever likely to see. And tomorrow, he's
:25:47. > :25:50.hoping a pumpkin will carry him even further ` all the way across the
:25:51. > :25:52.Solent in fact. Sean Killick watched his record attempt.
:25:53. > :26:04.This giant pumpkin is not our goal. This giant pumpkin is about. `` is a
:26:05. > :26:20.brought. This man wants to set a new world record.
:26:21. > :26:27.It is impressive. He set of two beat this three`minute target time. He
:26:28. > :26:35.paddled his pumpkin as if he were being chased I ghosts. He soon
:26:36. > :26:49.crossed the line but was less than three minutes? Two minutes .3
:26:50. > :27:01.seconds. It was great. Pretty tiring. I practised yesterday. We
:27:02. > :27:16.went on a straight line this time. I am worried about ten.
:27:17. > :27:25.Tomorrow he will attempt his next challenge. To cross the Solent. But
:27:26. > :27:34.for now he is happy to celebrate success with pumpkin soup.
:27:35. > :27:40.That is what we will be talking about tomorrow.
:27:41. > :27:42.Good luck. Let us hope he does not sink.
:27:43. > :27:46.Good night.
