:00:00. > :00:00.Hello I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's
:00:00. > :00:09.programme: Fighting to keep their jobs ` the
:00:10. > :00:22.spark of a campaign begins to keep shipbuilding at Portsmouth. We have
:00:23. > :00:29.940 direct jobs and up to 2,000 jobs that are directly affected. It
:00:30. > :00:32.is a huge blow to our region. Attempts by Thames water to charge
:00:33. > :00:37.an extra one`off payment to households is rejected. It is very
:00:38. > :00:41.high. I don't even look at the price any more it is what you have
:00:42. > :00:44.to pay. Not another brick in the wall ` the
:00:45. > :00:46.shortage that's holding up housebuilding.
:00:47. > :01:08.And sheep may safely graze, but have they gone too far in this
:01:09. > :01:22.churchyard? A rally to save shipbuilding jobs
:01:23. > :01:25.will be held in Portsmouth tomorrow. It's the first event planned in
:01:26. > :01:28.response to the loss of more than 1,000 jobs at BAE systems. This
:01:29. > :01:38.morning, union officials have been holding meetings to plan further
:01:39. > :01:44.action. The whole drive of the campaign is to impress on people
:01:45. > :01:49.the importance of the shipyard to Portsmouth's local economy and also
:01:50. > :01:56.to impress on people that it may be an easy way out to tried to get rid
:01:57. > :02:02.of 500 years of history, but more importantly, the next 150 years
:02:03. > :02:08.will be affected. The Trades Council is calling on the
:02:09. > :02:13.government to step in, possibly nationalise the shipyards. Five
:02:14. > :02:18.years ago, banks through reckless gambling were bailed out to the
:02:19. > :02:24.tune of billions of pounds. If ever there was a good case for the
:02:25. > :02:28.government intervening, this dockyard is one. The city is proud
:02:29. > :02:34.of its shipbuilding heritage, stretching back half a millennium.
:02:35. > :02:40.These newsreels capture some of the Battleships from the war years. The
:02:41. > :02:49.last complete warship was built in 1967, followed by a third tier
:02:50. > :02:55.pause. Now falls are turning to it apprenticeships, an issue that came
:02:56. > :02:59.up on last night's Question Time. David Cameron has pledged to make
:03:00. > :03:04.apprenticeships the norm for those school leavers who do not go to
:03:05. > :03:10.university. How will close in the shipyards in Portsmouth improve the
:03:11. > :03:16.prospects for young people? Despite a gloomy week of weather, there was
:03:17. > :03:19.one ray of sunshine today ` a promise of ?14 million worth of
:03:20. > :03:32.grants for companies in the shipbuilding supplied chain. We
:03:33. > :03:37.need some financial mitigation. There is a fund to help some of the
:03:38. > :03:46.supply chain restructure the business. But with up to 3,000 jobs
:03:47. > :03:57.jeopardised by these cuts, the ripple effect is expected to last
:03:58. > :04:01.for years. Coming up on Monday evening there's
:04:02. > :04:03.an Inside Out special. In Shipping Out, Robert Hall investigates the
:04:04. > :04:06.background to the decision to stop shipbuilding in Portsmouth, as the
:04:07. > :04:08.people most affected by the decision talk about their futures
:04:09. > :04:11.and their families. That's at 7.30pm on BBC One. That's followed
:04:12. > :04:15.at eight o'clock by a live debate from Portsmouth on BBC Radio Solent,
:04:16. > :04:18.asking whether the South has been sidelined in attempts to appease
:04:19. > :04:20.Scotland, or is the closure was an inevitable decision taken in the
:04:21. > :04:23.nation's interest? If you'd like to be in the audience for that radio
:04:24. > :04:29.debate, please email radio.solent@bbc.co.uk.
:04:30. > :04:32.Nearly 100 jobs will go at an insurance company in Hampshire.
:04:33. > :04:37.Zurich plans to restructure and move part of its operations in
:04:38. > :04:39.Whiteley to Cheltenham. This means that some people working in its
:04:40. > :04:43.claim handling departments will lose their job. The company say the
:04:44. > :04:46.changes are being made to keep operating costs low and are
:04:47. > :04:50.expected to take place in March next year.
:04:51. > :04:53.Households are feeling the squeeze ` energy costs keep going up and
:04:54. > :04:59.wages stubbornly are not following suit. The next planned hike for
:05:00. > :05:13.families looked like water bills, until today. The regulator Ofwat
:05:14. > :05:15.told Thames Water there was no justification for a one`off ?29
:05:16. > :05:19.increase in bills next year. Here's our Business Correspondent Alastair
:05:20. > :05:23.Fee. At a time when the cost of living keeps rising, today a ruling
:05:24. > :05:27.in favour of the consumer. Thames Water wants us to pay more for what
:05:28. > :05:32.comes out of the attack, but for now, that plan has dried up. On the
:05:33. > :05:37.high street customers say they are already paying too much. Very high.
:05:38. > :05:42.I don't even look at the price any more, it is just what you have to
:05:43. > :05:48.pay. If they put the water prices up, that is me done.
:05:49. > :05:50.The average Thames Water household bill is around ?354.
:05:51. > :05:53.The company wanted to add another ?29 ` an 8% rise.
:05:54. > :05:55.Ofwat says Thames costs have increased, but only by about ?7 per
:05:56. > :05:58.household. The regulator says no special price
:05:59. > :06:01.rise is justified as the Utility company is already allowed to put
:06:02. > :06:10.up bills next year by 1.4% above inflation. Thames came forward and
:06:11. > :06:15.they said, as they are entitled to, that there were cost pressures they
:06:16. > :06:20.felt over the five years that were not taken into account when prices
:06:21. > :06:24.were set. We have examined those prices carefully and we don't think
:06:25. > :06:32.there is enough evidence to justify a price increase for 10 so. Thames
:06:33. > :06:37.Water say the rise is necessary to pay for higher environmental agency
:06:38. > :06:41.charges and its bad debts, but it has failed to convince the water
:06:42. > :06:47.regulator how much these issues will cost. The company said it will
:06:48. > :06:56.review to their's decision before deciding on its next step. That
:06:57. > :07:02.could be an appeal, but until then, today's outcome is a rare victory.
:07:03. > :07:05.It may seem an unusual question, but is a shortage of bricks going
:07:06. > :07:08.to strangle the green shoots of recovery in construction? Some
:07:09. > :07:11.builders are having to wait five months for deliveries. During the
:07:12. > :07:13.recession a number of brick making kilns were closed down. Now house
:07:14. > :07:16.building is picking up again, demand is outstripping supply, as
:07:17. > :07:18.Tom Hepworth reports. This builder's merchant yard in`cell
:07:19. > :07:23.Panton is far from full. Most of the bricks are spoken for already.
:07:24. > :07:28.We as a company were literally out of blocks for part of August and
:07:29. > :07:33.September and imported from Belgium and Holland. The shortage has
:07:34. > :07:38.caused difficulties for this company building a respite centre
:07:39. > :07:43.for disabled children. We have been advised by our work surprise that
:07:44. > :07:50.delivery times cannot be guaranteed. So it is a frustration at times
:07:51. > :07:59.because it has a direct impact on resources at `` one side. Currently,
:08:00. > :08:06.planning permission is granted for around 180,000 houses per year. You
:08:07. > :08:11.need 18,000 bricks to build the average three`bedroom house. We
:08:12. > :08:19.would need to 0.5 billion bricks to build them. Production is short of
:08:20. > :08:28.that. Manufacturers are not keen to fire up mothballed factories. The
:08:29. > :08:42.last thing they need to do is use gas or electricity. One solution is
:08:43. > :08:46.prefabs. Inquiries are up by a quarter from builders. There is one
:08:47. > :08:51.factor that might allow manufacturers to catch up ` you
:08:52. > :08:56.can't make bricks in the rain. The idea of crowd`funding has taken
:08:57. > :09:00.the tech world by storm. Thousands of people paying a small amount of
:09:01. > :09:02.money to help create a new product. But in what's thought to be a
:09:03. > :09:05.British first, Portsmouth University is asking a researcher
:09:06. > :09:11.to use crowd`funding to generate their own salary. The University
:09:12. > :09:29.denies it's trying to get research done on the cheap, as our Political
:09:30. > :09:35.Editor Peter Henley now reports. With a new album, lots of fun, but
:09:36. > :09:42.not much money, this duo decided to try a new idea to fund their latest
:09:43. > :09:48.video. They turned to crowd`funding. I found pledging ?10 would get a
:09:49. > :09:55.copy of the DVD. For ?30, you can feature in the film. For ?100, one
:09:56. > :10:02.lucky fan got a private guitar lesson. The if you don't hit the
:10:03. > :10:09.mark, it will go back. It time we thought, this is amazing. Some
:10:10. > :10:17.people invested ?100. I want to get more people into the Greenwich
:10:18. > :10:25.sport of sailing. However this project has early had five backers.
:10:26. > :10:36.The idea of crowd`funding worries be established finance industry.
:10:37. > :10:45.The financial conduct authority is considering regulating crowd`
:10:46. > :10:49.funding. Whether regulation is necessary or whether this is just
:10:50. > :10:53.established lenders protecting their business is a question they
:10:54. > :10:58.are considering at Portsmouth University. There are so keen on
:10:59. > :11:02.the crowd`funding, they are recruiting an academic who will pay
:11:03. > :11:07.their own salary through contributions from the crowd.
:11:08. > :11:11.People are voting with their feet regarding the projects they want to
:11:12. > :11:16.support and don't. We want to understand a bit more about what it
:11:17. > :11:24.is about certain projects that does capture the imagination. This boat
:11:25. > :11:30.project might be one of their studies. The owner has five more
:11:31. > :11:35.days to hit his target. This tour is riding high and thinking about
:11:36. > :11:38.how they can get their crowd of fans involved in their music.
:11:39. > :11:41.And Peter will be back with Sunday Politics on Sunday at 12.25pm after
:11:42. > :11:43.the Cenotaph service. They'll be examining the Portsmouth
:11:44. > :11:57.shipbuilding closure and the issue of care homes.
:11:58. > :11:58.Still to come in this evening's South Today:
:11:59. > :12:01.Preparations for tonight's concert that pays tribute to those who
:12:02. > :12:04.fought in past and present conflicts.
:12:05. > :12:07.Relatives of people buried in a Berkshire churchyard say the
:12:08. > :12:11.decision to use sheep to control the grass and plants is an act of
:12:12. > :12:14.vandalism. Floral tributes have been eaten by the animals with urns
:12:15. > :12:19.and graves damaged as they've foraged for food. But the Church
:12:20. > :12:23.authorities say all they've done is return to a traditional way of
:12:24. > :12:31.caring for the site in the face of rising maintenance bills.
:12:32. > :12:42.The idea of the Lord as the good shepherd may be a familiar one to
:12:43. > :12:45.Christians. It is disrespectful. But the relatives of those buried
:12:46. > :12:47.in this Berkshire church yard never imagined their loved ones would
:12:48. > :12:52.share their final resting place with a rather more literal flock. I
:12:53. > :12:57.was really upset. It bought a lump to my applied. Behind the I have to
:12:58. > :13:03.answer, two uncles and a cousin and the sheep are just wandering all
:13:04. > :13:13.over their graves. The sheep arrived at the behest of the
:13:14. > :13:17.recently retired vicar. In the past a contractor has been employed to
:13:18. > :13:30.keep the grass under control, but there are no funds available. Using
:13:31. > :13:38.the animals, they say, harks back to the past when often sheep might
:13:39. > :13:43.safely graze in churchyards. It was banned of traditional way when it
:13:44. > :13:46.was just a mound of earth and not when people spend a lot of money on
:13:47. > :13:53.gravestones and people still come here to visit. The mess made by the
:13:54. > :13:57.sheep is terrible. Today, some of the sheep were being moved out and
:13:58. > :13:59.the damage they've caused made good. Repairing relationships between the
:14:00. > :14:22.church and local families may be a rather harder task.
:14:23. > :14:25.Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino has been named Premier
:14:26. > :14:28.League Manager of the Month for October. The Argentinian steered
:14:29. > :14:31.Saints to two home wins and a draw at Manchester United during the
:14:32. > :14:34.month and his side moved as high as third in the table on some match
:14:35. > :14:37.days. Saints host Hull City tomorrow at St Mary's, hoping to
:14:38. > :14:44.extend their unbeaten league run to eight games.
:14:45. > :14:51.For many of the region's clubs tomorrow is FA cup first round day.
:14:52. > :14:54.For Portsmouth manager Guy Whittingham it's also a year since
:14:55. > :14:57.he became boss. He's seen the club come out of administration and he's
:14:58. > :14:59.overseeing a steady and cautious rebuilding project under community
:15:00. > :15:10.ownership. I've been to Fratton Park for a chat with him. He put a
:15:11. > :15:15.smile on the faces of Pompey fans 20 years ago and now he is doing it
:15:16. > :15:19.again. It has been a year of change will Guy Whittingham. Massively.
:15:20. > :15:27.With everything that has happened with the club, from being at the
:15:28. > :15:31.lowest point in its history to now coming through to a point where
:15:32. > :15:37.we've got great support, the fans have rallied around us. Not only on
:15:38. > :15:42.the pitch, but ours to still be here, that is a massive achievement.
:15:43. > :15:54.Management inevitably changes someone as well. It is impossible
:15:55. > :15:57.to keep everyone happy. You have to get people to do things you don't
:15:58. > :16:02.want them to do and you have to crack the whip. The City of
:16:03. > :16:08.Portsmouth has had a grim week with job losses in store at the dockyard.
:16:09. > :16:12.It has not gone unnoticed at Fratton Park. There will be support
:16:13. > :16:18.from ours. We want to make sure that the people that have supported
:16:19. > :16:24.us, we support them. People really do rallied round in hard times.
:16:25. > :16:32.Pompey go to Stevenage tomorrow in the FA Cup first round with a six`
:16:33. > :16:37.game unbeaten run behind them. Where ever they try and do, we will
:16:38. > :16:45.be ready for them. The cup has bought some special days and some
:16:46. > :16:48.of those special moments will be sacrificed for long`term stability.
:16:49. > :16:50.It's a big weekend for non league Brackley Town who play in
:16:51. > :16:54.Conference North. They travel to Gillingham tomorrow. It may not be
:16:55. > :16:57.the first time the club have reached round one, but the Gills
:16:58. > :16:59.are the first league side to play them in a competitive match.
:17:00. > :17:02.Salisbury will have hopes of reaching the second round when they
:17:03. > :17:05.host Dartford. Oxford have an home tie, too, along with MK Dons.
:17:06. > :17:09.Two big games in the Championship tomorrow as well. Reading in fifth
:17:10. > :17:12.host Harry Redknapp's QPR who are third. Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe
:17:13. > :17:15.returns to Burnley for the first time since leaving the club to
:17:16. > :17:19.return to the south coast. London Irish are at Newcastle in
:17:20. > :17:22.rugby's LV Cup this weekend. Meanwhile, you may remember we
:17:23. > :17:26.featured the Ball Kids who were being trained in Hampshire for this
:17:27. > :17:29.week's ATP finals in London. Well, they've been hard at work looking
:17:30. > :17:33.after the world's top tennis players on court at the O2. Here's
:17:34. > :17:50.just one of them, India Taylor, who we featured on the programme last
:17:51. > :17:54.month. It's not always a glamourous job.
:17:55. > :17:57.This time next week it will be Children in Need night. South Today
:17:58. > :18:01.will be live from the national motor museum at Beaulieu. This year
:18:02. > :18:04.we have a special theme, James Bond, and I'll have a special presenter
:18:05. > :18:06.for the night to work with. Yes, its Samantha Bond who played
:18:07. > :18:13.Miss Moneypenny in the Pierce Brosnan films. Earlier I caught up
:18:14. > :18:21.with Sam to have a chat about her film career. I began by asking her
:18:22. > :18:26.about her connections to the south. My second job was at the Nuffield
:18:27. > :18:30.Theatre in Southampton and I was there for eight months and did nine
:18:31. > :18:35.plays. I finished that in the summer and the BBC gave me my first
:18:36. > :18:40.television role, which was Maria in Mansfield Park. We shop that in the
:18:41. > :18:46.New Forest. The following summer the BBC cast me in the first ever
:18:47. > :18:50.Miss Marple, which was shot in the New Forest. I thought that what the
:18:51. > :18:55.BBC were going to do. I thought, this is great been an actress. You
:18:56. > :18:59.go to the New Forest for three months in the summer. When it
:19:00. > :19:13.didn't happen, I thought what have I done wrong. The Bond films, they
:19:14. > :19:19.are tiny part in my career `` tiny parts in my career. This behaviour
:19:20. > :19:24.could qualify as sexual harassment. Sunday you will have to make good
:19:25. > :19:33.on your innuendos. You do have a lot of fun and there was a lot of
:19:34. > :19:39.partying that goes with it. What about Danton? It is colossal. I
:19:40. > :19:47.didn't come in until the last episode of the first series. By the
:19:48. > :19:51.time he `` by the time I started shooting, you could feel it. He
:19:52. > :19:59.walked onto the set and you thought, this is a hit. It had a quiet glow
:20:00. > :20:05.about it. You and I can go away on an extended trip somewhere. The
:20:06. > :20:11.baby can be adopted by a childless couple and they are made very happy
:20:12. > :20:18.and the baby is happy, and you are... Well, if not happy, at least
:20:19. > :20:22.free. And the other hit his Outnumbered. That adults try to
:20:23. > :20:28.follow a script and the children make it up as they go along. Is it
:20:29. > :20:33.scary to do that? It was terrifying at the beginning. The little girl
:20:34. > :20:38.was the frightening one. She would come out with things that was so
:20:39. > :20:45.left`field that you couldn't think of anything to say back. Have you
:20:46. > :20:55.ever been a bridesmaid? A couple of times. But never bride? I haven't.
:20:56. > :21:01.Why? I wasn't as lucky as your mummy. I didn't want to say yes to
:21:02. > :21:06.the first man who asked me. When you were money penny, you kissed
:21:07. > :21:20.the James Bond. Or was it like, just between us? It was absolutely
:21:21. > :21:41.lovely!. It took about four`and`a` half hours.
:21:42. > :21:44.On Sunday the nation will once again pay tribute to those who have
:21:45. > :21:47.fallen in past and current conflicts but there will also be
:21:48. > :21:50.acts of remembrance away from the war memorials themselves. Tonight
:21:51. > :21:53.sees the return of the Hampshire Festival of Remembrance which aims
:21:54. > :21:55.to mirror the national event at the Albert Hall. Let's cross to Alexis
:21:56. > :21:58.Green, who is outside Southampton Guildhall. Rehearsals have been
:21:59. > :22:04.ongoing all afternoon. The event starts in around 45 minutes' time.
:22:05. > :22:10.There is a 120 strong choir, military bands will be performing
:22:11. > :22:16.as well. The man directing them joins me now. This festival has not
:22:17. > :22:20.been in Southampton for a while. It has been seven years and we are
:22:21. > :22:26.delighted to be involved in its resurrection. How is it similar to
:22:27. > :22:31.the event at the Albert Hall? We have a band and choir on stage and
:22:32. > :22:44.the event is centred around a concert of commemoration. In ``
:22:45. > :22:50.there was also a service of remembrance. I look after 12 bands
:22:51. > :22:56.and we have bought some of them together to form a band of around
:22:57. > :23:02.60 to perform one cheque `` on stage. There will be military music
:23:03. > :23:16.and we also have the Southampton Philharmonic Choir. Thank you. Well,
:23:17. > :23:20.the seeds are starting to fill up in the Guild Hall. There are 1,000
:23:21. > :23:26.seats that have nearly sold out. If you miss the event, you can tune
:23:27. > :23:34.into BBC Radio Solent for a highlight show. Talking of whether,
:23:35. > :23:40.if you are out and about it is looking pretty good. This weather
:23:41. > :23:43.front brought torrential downpours throughout the course of the
:23:44. > :23:49.morning and in the afternoon. We did have some thunder in that rain,
:23:50. > :23:52.but tonight we will see it move towards the North Sea and
:23:53. > :23:58.temperatures will fall into single figures. We are looking at lows of
:23:59. > :24:03.between four and eight Celsius. A cold start and the risk of frost.
