:00:08. > :00:12.Welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme: More jobs misery in the
:00:13. > :00:15.region as a Hampshire`based chemicals company becomes the third
:00:16. > :00:19.manufacturer in three days to cut the workforce.
:00:20. > :00:27.Battle lines are drawn as unions fight to keep shipbuilding in
:00:28. > :00:31.Portsmouth. This campaign will be robust, strong and what ever it
:00:32. > :00:35.takes. The pensioner with autism who's
:00:36. > :00:42.chosen to live in her car as she fights the council for a home. They
:00:43. > :00:45.certainly do not choose to be like this. I just want to be settled. And
:00:46. > :00:59.three steps to heaven. The Saints are marching into the England squad
:01:00. > :01:03.for the next two internationals. A bad week for jobs in the south got
:01:04. > :01:05.worse today. For the third day running, another long`established
:01:06. > :01:08.manufacturing company has announced major job losses. Polimeri Europa
:01:09. > :01:12.has made synthetic rubber for the motor industry at Hythe near
:01:13. > :01:18.Southampton for more than 50 years. It will shut next year, leaving up
:01:19. > :01:21.to 300 jobs at risk. Our Business Correspondent is in Hythe for us
:01:22. > :01:31.tonight. This is a very difficult week for those working in
:01:32. > :01:39.manufacturing in the south. What a week for job losses. Let me
:01:40. > :01:42.recapture. On Tuesday a pharmaceutical company announced
:01:43. > :01:47.that 500 jobs were at risk in Horsham and yesterday the
:01:48. > :01:54.devastating news in Portsmouth off the end of shipbuilding. Now in
:01:55. > :01:59.Hythe just outside of Southampton 300 jobs at risk at Polimeri Europa
:02:00. > :02:04.where they make synthetic rubber used in tyres. The company has been
:02:05. > :02:08.here for 50 years. They blame a decline in the European market and
:02:09. > :02:16.increased manufacturing in Asia. None of the workers were prepared to
:02:17. > :02:20.talk to me on camera but one email. They have said that working lives
:02:21. > :02:24.are ruined, they have spoken of sleepless nights and a tragedy for
:02:25. > :02:33.the families that rely on these jobs. The local MP has given his
:02:34. > :02:36.reaction. It is a hammer blow and I must stress I have not been
:02:37. > :02:41.contacted either by the company or the workforce but judging by what
:02:42. > :02:46.has been said, well over 100 people at least will lose their jobs and
:02:47. > :02:50.there will be knock`on effects for the supply chain. It isn't a bad
:02:51. > :03:01.news and we must have huge sympathy with the workforce `` it is really
:03:02. > :03:05.bad news. The company have Scottish connections. Should we read anything
:03:06. > :03:09.into that? We have heard that shipbuilding will continue in
:03:10. > :03:15.Scotland and cease in Portsmouth. There is a Scottish manufacturing
:03:16. > :03:20.link here. Despite closing this plant, they will increase
:03:21. > :03:24.manufacturing in Grangemouth in Scotland. A Scottish coincidence
:03:25. > :03:28.perhaps but certainly very bad news here on the south coast for business
:03:29. > :03:31.and jobs. While workers in Hythe were
:03:32. > :03:34.digesting the news of impending job losses there, in Portsmouth the
:03:35. > :03:38.campaign to keep shipbuilding in Hampshire was intensifying. Over
:03:39. > :03:41.1,000 jobs are to go at BAE Systems in the dockyard. While the political
:03:42. > :03:46.debate rages on, unions are preparing to challenge those job
:03:47. > :03:53.losses. Our reporter is in Portsmouth tonight.
:03:54. > :03:57.Sold down the river. That's the front page here in Portsmouth today,
:03:58. > :03:59.a reference to the fact that some feel Portsmouth jobs have been
:04:00. > :04:07.sacrificed for Scottish votes ahead of next year's referendum. So, a
:04:08. > :04:17.furious reaction from the local paper, as you might expect.
:04:18. > :04:24.Grey skies over Portsmouth, matched with a subdued mood over the city.
:04:25. > :04:29.The uncertainty of everything, they have no money, just as Christmas is
:04:30. > :04:39.coming. It is not good. How would you summarise the mood? Not nice.
:04:40. > :04:48.They have made the decision and it is done now. UKIP have sensed an
:04:49. > :04:52.opening here with one local councillor warning that Portsmouth
:04:53. > :04:56.will become no more than a museum city with its industry stripped
:04:57. > :05:02.away. What it means is Portsmouth is going to be like Liverpool, it
:05:03. > :05:09.trades entirely on its history. Portsmouth will be the same. This is
:05:10. > :05:15.what defines Portsmouth. It is a shipbuilding city and once we lose
:05:16. > :05:20.that relative of `` we lose everything. The GMB starts talks
:05:21. > :05:26.tomorrow about what action they could take. We want to be
:05:27. > :05:33.proactive. We do not want to damage our reputation or prospects but we
:05:34. > :05:37.will do what ever it takes. The north Portsmouth MP tried to lift
:05:38. > :05:39.the gloom in a rallying cry for the shipyards to shift its sights
:05:40. > :05:46.towards landing commercial contracts. She says five companies
:05:47. > :05:50.are interested in moving into the yard. I want to keep shipbuilding
:05:51. > :05:53.here but we have to build an industry that wants to build ships,
:05:54. > :05:59.not just provide services to them, and if we have to grade in `` being
:06:00. > :06:03.in the wider sector to retain that skills base, then that is what we
:06:04. > :06:07.need to do, and I am determined that is what we are going to do. I think
:06:08. > :06:13.we could become the maritime heart of the UK and we have to carve out
:06:14. > :06:16.that vision for the city. There is a widespread sense that ending
:06:17. > :06:21.shipbuilding will affect not just the city but the county and the
:06:22. > :06:27.country. I wonder in the strategic sense that we are losing capacity.
:06:28. > :06:31.We need to keep capacity in this country. It is important. I am not
:06:32. > :06:38.sure it is being looked at as closely as it should have been.
:06:39. > :06:45.Social media is going to play a role in all this now. 50,000 people have
:06:46. > :06:47.clicked onto a page. There's a Facebook group called "Save
:06:48. > :07:17.Portsmouth Dockyard". There are also two petitions running
:07:18. > :07:29.online aiming to try to make the government rethink its position.
:07:30. > :07:32.A man has appeared in court charged with two counts of manslaughter
:07:33. > :07:35.following the death of two teenage girls in a road collision in
:07:36. > :07:39.Gosport. Sam Etherington, who's 20 and from Gosport, was remanded in
:07:40. > :07:41.custody, and is due to appear at Winchester Crown Court tomorrow.
:07:42. > :07:44.Police were called following the incident in Ann's Hill Road on
:07:45. > :07:47.Sunday morning. Jasmine Allsop, 14, died at the scene and her
:07:48. > :07:53.16`year`old friend Olivia Lewry died later in hospital.
:07:54. > :07:56.The government's nuclear watchdog is putting Berkshire's two nuclear bomb
:07:57. > :08:03.factories under increased scrutiny, because of their hazardous
:08:04. > :08:06.operations and ageing facilities. The Office for Nuclear Regulation
:08:07. > :08:08.says the Atomic Weapons Establishments in Aldermaston and
:08:09. > :08:22.Burghfield will be given "increased regulatory attention" for at least
:08:23. > :08:32.two years. The nuclear weapons factories are
:08:33. > :08:37.always under scrutiny, whether from antinuclear campaigners or various
:08:38. > :08:40.different regulatory bodies. The AWT was given a formal warning by the
:08:41. > :08:47.Environment Agency after unusually high levels of radium were found in
:08:48. > :08:51.a stream. A court highlighted safety lapses when a fire broke out at the
:08:52. > :08:56.site. Last year structural defects were found in one of its ageing
:08:57. > :09:00.buildings and normal operations had to be temporarily suspended. Now
:09:01. > :09:06.they have been placed near the top of the priority list with so`called
:09:07. > :09:13.enhanced regulatory attention. Only Sellafield has been ranked higher.
:09:14. > :09:18.That is special measures. I think that their safety performance should
:09:19. > :09:23.be better. The company's performance is level, it has flat plains, not
:09:24. > :09:27.improving, and I think the regulator and all of us think that it should
:09:28. > :09:32.be getting better. The report states that both sides to meet the safety
:09:33. > :09:36.standards required and it acknowledges that a huge amount of
:09:37. > :09:41.construction work is underway to rebuild maintenance plans. The
:09:42. > :09:44.company said its rebuilding programme is one of the largest and
:09:45. > :09:50.most complex in the UK defence industry. Given the complexity and
:09:51. > :09:55.uniqueness of the challenges it faces, the priority to report rating
:09:56. > :10:07.is appropriate. It stresses delivering safe operations here is
:10:08. > :10:10.the top priority. Still to come: The Saints are
:10:11. > :10:17.marching into the England team. Three players will be in the squad
:10:18. > :10:20.for the next two internationals. A disabled pensioner from Gosport
:10:21. > :10:24.says she's been forced to live in her car for the last four months
:10:25. > :10:29.because the local council cannot find her a suitable home. Su Seymour
:10:30. > :10:39.is 62 and has autism. The council says it's offered her homes nearby
:10:40. > :10:45.but she has rejected them all. I need a home where I can make
:10:46. > :10:51.myself a cup of tea or whatever. For Sue and her dog, this has been home
:10:52. > :10:56.since July in this car. I do not choose to be like this. I just want
:10:57. > :11:00.to be settled. She sleeps on the front seat ready to drive off at any
:11:01. > :11:05.point. Some drunks got on the car and one of them had a bottle and he
:11:06. > :11:10.wanted me to take him somewhere, but I just drove off. She lost her home
:11:11. > :11:14.in 2011 when her husband died and she was evicted from rental
:11:15. > :11:18.accommodation for months ago. She has been on the council waiting list
:11:19. > :11:22.for three and a half years but her autism means she has to live in a
:11:23. > :11:26.specific part of Gosport and cannot cope with shared accommodation or a
:11:27. > :11:31.shelter. Gosport Borough Council says she is insisting on being
:11:32. > :11:36.placed in a small area whether or nor free homes but it says it has
:11:37. > :11:41.offered her property is five minutes drive away. She has had the authors
:11:42. > :11:47.which are near to where she wants to be. They have all been two`bedroom
:11:48. > :11:51.offers because we recognise her medical condition and that she needs
:11:52. > :11:56.family or carers to stay. All three have been rejected. Sue says the
:11:57. > :11:59.council is not acknowledging her mental health needs and that moving
:12:00. > :12:06.would lead to heart having meltdowns. Having to move house and
:12:07. > :12:09.moving out of an area where you normally left, out of your support
:12:10. > :12:16.structures, the community that now you, can be extremely disruptive and
:12:17. > :12:21.lead to additional difficulties. If I move out of the area I would have
:12:22. > :12:26.to change GP again which I could not cope with. I need to be any familiar
:12:27. > :12:31.area and that is when I have to help that come and stay with me. For
:12:32. > :12:34.Sue, the wait goes on. Five men have been jailed after they
:12:35. > :12:37.were found with thousands of pounds worth of Class A drugs in
:12:38. > :12:41.Southampton. Some of the men were caught after the taxi they were
:12:42. > :12:44.travelling in was stopped by police. Inside they found two golf ball size
:12:45. > :12:48.wraps containing heroin and cocaine. ?16,000 worth of illegal substances
:12:49. > :12:51.was subsequently recovered. The prosecutions were part of Hampshire
:12:52. > :12:57.Police's Operation Fortress drugs crackdown.
:12:58. > :13:01.The UK would be "foolish" not to adopt the process of fracking.
:13:02. > :13:05.That's the view of a US energy expert who has spoken to the BBC
:13:06. > :13:08.ahead of addressing a group of MPs in the Commons today. Chris
:13:09. > :13:11.Faulkner, who is nicknamed the "Frack Master" in America, visited
:13:12. > :13:15.Balcombe in Sussex, the scene of huge protests at the possibility of
:13:16. > :13:28.the controversial process being used there.
:13:29. > :13:32.Test drilling at Bolcom, most protesters gone. Visited by a man
:13:33. > :13:38.from the United States who is known as the Phrack master. In Texas where
:13:39. > :13:44.I live, underneath universities and beneath homes and buildings, what we
:13:45. > :13:48.have got here is at least an open area. There has been no fracking in
:13:49. > :13:53.Sussex yet but the idea brought out the protesters in the summer, top of
:13:54. > :14:00.the concerns water contamination. The key thing is the contamination
:14:01. > :14:05.of the water. You have to wonder whether the conditions are therefore
:14:06. > :14:10.safe fracking to take place. If the process was flawed, if we were
:14:11. > :14:14.contaminating drinking water, there would be massive issues in the
:14:15. > :14:21.United States Coast to Coast with contamination. There have already
:14:22. > :14:24.been problems with earth tremors. Are the protesters right to worry?
:14:25. > :14:33.There were faults where they were fracking. They made a mistake by
:14:34. > :14:38.doing it there. Yes, they will admit they made a mistake by fracking
:14:39. > :14:43.there. If you look at the one and a half million we have been using in
:14:44. > :14:48.the United States, we have set the layers of cement, three layers of
:14:49. > :14:57.steel pipe, and then we drill down 3000 or 4000 metres, that is where
:14:58. > :15:04.fracking occurs. Fracking `` to say that it contaminates water is
:15:05. > :15:09.foolish. Some say that the oil is shallower and the rocks might not
:15:10. > :15:12.remain stable. We have three major faults in this village alone. Those
:15:13. > :15:18.can be used as conduits and bring up the gases from the bottom up to the
:15:19. > :15:26.surface and it would be very unhealthy. There is a natural
:15:27. > :15:31.resource beneath the UK. If it were to be extracted it would give you 50
:15:32. > :15:34.years worth of energy. All this week we have been seeing
:15:35. > :15:38.some of the projects that have benefited from your donations to
:15:39. > :15:40.Children in Need. The projects we support help children in all sorts
:15:41. > :15:47.of ways, sometimes confronting uncomfortable issues. One such
:15:48. > :15:50.project is the Southampton Rape Crisis Centre which helps over 40
:15:51. > :15:55.children a week in coming to terms with sexual abuse. A counsellor at
:15:56. > :16:04.the project came to the studios to tell me how they support these
:16:05. > :16:09.youngsters. The young people come to us because they have experienced an
:16:10. > :16:13.unwanted sexual experience. We work with young people from the age of 11
:16:14. > :16:17.upwards, young men and women. We will offer them an assessment just
:16:18. > :16:22.to make sure we are offering them the right service and then we can
:16:23. > :16:28.offer them one`to`one counselling, or we can offer them group therapy.
:16:29. > :16:34.How difficult is it for them to come to you and talk about it? It can be
:16:35. > :16:37.extremely difficult. They can be incredibly reluctant. We have to
:16:38. > :16:42.make sure we form a good relationship with them. And support
:16:43. > :16:49.them. When they turn up, it is such a brave thing for them to do and we
:16:50. > :16:57.realise that. How do these horrific experiences make you feel `` make
:16:58. > :17:00.them feel? They have problems with relationships, with family and
:17:01. > :17:04.friends, they have trust issues, they often feel very guilty or
:17:05. > :17:11.ashamed, often they are self harming as a coping strategy, they can feel
:17:12. > :17:15.suicidal or have attempted suicide. Many different problems. We see a
:17:16. > :17:21.lot of young people who have been abused within the family and also by
:17:22. > :17:28.peers. Children in need has helped you, how? It has given us the means
:17:29. > :17:32.to employ specialist counsellors who can work with these young people, it
:17:33. > :17:37.has helped us to employ an outreach worker so the outreach worker can go
:17:38. > :17:41.out and work with these people who cannot get into the service, and we
:17:42. > :17:45.have started up a young people's creative arts group, because it is
:17:46. > :17:50.important for young people to suit meet people who have gone through
:17:51. > :17:53.similar experiences and see what coping strategies they have. What
:17:54. > :17:59.would you like these youngsters to take away with them? We want to be
:18:00. > :18:04.able to give them a chance in the future to be able to get back into
:18:05. > :18:07.education, to make them feel worthwhile, their self`esteem can be
:18:08. > :18:11.really low. We want them to be able to get on with their lives and also
:18:12. > :18:25.make the best of what the future holds. I am so pleased that you have
:18:26. > :18:33.received the help. They are doing so much great work
:18:34. > :18:42.and it is all thanks to you. Children in Need helps many
:18:43. > :18:49.children. A report tonight begins on the Isle of Wight.
:18:50. > :18:52.The activity centre gives teenagers with physical and learning
:18:53. > :18:55.disabilities the chance to improve their balance, coordination and also
:18:56. > :19:07.get an appreciation of the great outdoors. Children in Need have
:19:08. > :19:17.donated dozens of pounds. `` hundreds of pounds. Lacking in
:19:18. > :19:20.coordination, mobility, and gaining an appreciation of the environment.
:19:21. > :19:24.It would be nice to see them able to carry on and do things after the
:19:25. > :19:32.project. We have been able to get them into clubs and things. It makes
:19:33. > :19:40.a big difference. You often hear teenagers say, there is nothing for
:19:41. > :19:44.us to do, but this group puts on sports like badminton and activities
:19:45. > :19:47.like camping. It is not just something to do, it can build
:19:48. > :19:54.self`confidence and has a really positive impact. What we support is
:19:55. > :20:03.not as obvious as other organisations. We have 9800 children
:20:04. > :20:05.and our purpose is to build up their confidence so we can help them
:20:06. > :20:11.improve those skills that they need to manage their lives better. I was
:20:12. > :20:16.quite shy, I never had much confidence. I did not think of
:20:17. > :20:21.myself the way I am today because I am quite outgoing. I did not think I
:20:22. > :20:25.could have as many friends as I have now. We are very grateful for the
:20:26. > :20:38.money that was donated, without that these guys would miss out. The
:20:39. > :20:40.Elizabeth Foundation supports more than 50 families of children with a
:20:41. > :20:49.range of hearing impairments. As well as group activities they can
:20:50. > :20:53.also offer one`to`one sessions. We feel really lucky to have been given
:20:54. > :21:04.just over ?73,000 by children in Need. It is making a real difference
:21:05. > :21:08.for their language development and they're listening development and
:21:09. > :21:11.they are leaving us with nearly age`appropriate if not
:21:12. > :21:16.age`appropriate language skills. We never thought he would be going to
:21:17. > :21:23.mainstream school, which he will be in September, all thanks to everyone
:21:24. > :21:28.here. Thank you. We will have plenty more tomorrow,
:21:29. > :21:36.including finding out who the presenter is. I will be interviewing
:21:37. > :21:41.her. If you are a Southampton football
:21:42. > :21:51.fan, this is great days. Three players called up to the Roy Hodgson
:21:52. > :21:55.squad. Lallana, Lambert and now Rodriguez. It's the first time
:21:56. > :21:59.Southampton have had three players named in an England squad since
:22:00. > :22:02.1986, when Shilton, Wright and Danny Wallace were in the late Bobby
:22:03. > :22:05.Robson's squad. It's play like this, Lallana to Lambert to Rodriguez,
:22:06. > :22:08.against Fulham at St Mary's last month which has earned them a call
:22:09. > :22:11.up for the friendlies against Chile and Germany as boss Roy Hodgson
:22:12. > :22:15.starts preparations for next year's World Cup finals in Brazil.
:22:16. > :22:19.Rodriguez has scored four goals this season while Lallana and Lambert
:22:20. > :22:32.have also starred as Saints have hit the top six. I could not believe it.
:22:33. > :22:42.Was it in your mind this might come along? I don't know. I just relief
:22:43. > :22:45.August on my club game. I just need to work hard and keep myself
:22:46. > :22:50.grounded and focus on that and if it comes, it comes, and it has come and
:22:51. > :22:54.I am delighted. I still cannot believe it.
:22:55. > :22:58.Meanwhile only Rodriguez featured in a much changed Saints side which
:22:59. > :23:00.went out of the Capital One Cup last night at Sunderland. Southampton
:23:01. > :23:04.squandered a good chance before half time when Gaston Ramirez fired wide.
:23:05. > :23:09.Sunderland took the lead when Phil Bardsley got the final touch from a
:23:10. > :23:11.goalmouth scramble. The game was effectively decided four minutes
:23:12. > :23:17.from time when Seb Larsson slotted home. Saints did get one back, Maya
:23:18. > :23:25.Yoshida with a header two minutes later, but it wasn't enough and a
:23:26. > :23:38.much changed team was out. Happy for the performance. Good
