:00:00. > :00:00.Commonwealth Summit in Sri Lanka. That is all from the BBC News at
:00:00. > :00:22.six. Judgement delayed for Portsmouth 's
:00:23. > :00:30.Mike Hancock. From Iraqi to Newbury.
:00:31. > :00:32.And join us live at the National motor Museum in Beauly for Children
:00:33. > :00:50.in Need across the South. A council inquiry into the conduct
:00:51. > :00:54.of Portsmouth Cabinet member and MP Mike Hancock has been put on hold
:00:55. > :01:00.until after the outcome of a court case. The inquiry has already found
:01:01. > :01:02.that Mr Hancock has a case to answer over allegations that he sexually
:01:03. > :01:05.assaulted a vulnerable constituent but it's delayed deciding what
:01:06. > :01:09.action to take until the High Court has ruled on the same claims being
:01:10. > :01:21.brought in a civil case against the MP.
:01:22. > :01:26.A subcommittee of three Portsmouth councillors had to grapple with
:01:27. > :01:30.differing and expensive legal opinion. Watching the
:01:31. > :01:39.deliberations, be vulnerable constituent who accused Mike Hancock
:01:40. > :01:46.of sexual assault. Mr Hancock didn't attend. The conservative chair
:01:47. > :01:50.wanted to press on and decide if Mr Hancock's alleged behaviour had
:01:51. > :02:00.breached the council 's code of conduct. But the two Lib Dems voted
:02:01. > :02:04.to wait. The reason the panel reached this decision was they were
:02:05. > :02:08.concerned in the case was to proceed, there was a possibility of
:02:09. > :02:15.the panel reaching an inconsistent decision. In September, an
:02:16. > :02:21.independent report compiled for the council concluded that Mr Hancock
:02:22. > :02:25.does have a case to answer. We should be making decisions about
:02:26. > :02:29.this as quickly as possible. This alleged victim is having to deal
:02:30. > :02:37.with this today, and dealing with another blow. The subcommittee was
:02:38. > :02:41.told delaying the case could have serious repercussions, including the
:02:42. > :02:45.possibility of a judicial review. The council also faces a huge risk
:02:46. > :02:50.in terms of damage to its reputation, so I think those views
:02:51. > :02:54.should have been taken into account. Hampshire police requested
:02:55. > :03:02.a copy of the council 's independent report. The barrister says the
:03:03. > :03:07.council should have considered its consideration. It was a big decision
:03:08. > :03:08.for the committee to make. After today's meeting, a spokesman issued
:03:09. > :03:30.a statement: Meanwhile, the complainant told me
:03:31. > :03:41.the council 's decision to delay the healing `` the hearing was
:03:42. > :03:48.disgraceful and disgusting. What's the cost of this to Portsmouth
:03:49. > :03:57.taxpayers? It must be over ?50,000, especially if they have to defend a
:03:58. > :04:02.judicial review. It is very political, this whole situation. You
:04:03. > :04:07.have Conservative and Labour councillors complaining loudly about
:04:08. > :04:16.the cost, but then it is them who wanted to have this enquiry into the
:04:17. > :04:20.first place. It might not come out until September next year, when the
:04:21. > :04:24.High Court could finally get to consider this. The only other fact
:04:25. > :04:30.here is the police have asked to see this report three weeks ago. Why
:04:31. > :04:37.does this leave Mike Hancock, politically? He is not a well man
:04:38. > :04:41.after serious heart problems. He is no longer a Liberal Democrat in
:04:42. > :04:49.Westminster but is locally. He faces a local election in May.
:04:50. > :04:54.A registered sex offender is being hunted by police in Hampshire.
:04:55. > :04:58.64`year`old Phillip Neville has failed to tell police where he is
:04:59. > :05:02.living. He's last known to be staying in the Hook or Basingstoke
:05:03. > :05:04.area but also has links to Bournemouth. Officers say they've
:05:05. > :05:08.carried out extensive enquiries and now appealing to the public to help
:05:09. > :05:11.locate him. One week after Typhoon Haiyan
:05:12. > :05:14.devastated the eastern part of the Philippines, people from across the
:05:15. > :05:19.South are still organising collections and raising funds for
:05:20. > :05:22.those who lost everything. The Filipino community were collecting
:05:23. > :05:26.relief supplies at the Warren Centre in Southampton today as part of a
:05:27. > :05:31.bigger campaign in the region. The collection will be open until next
:05:32. > :05:34.month. Now, you may think that the NHS buys
:05:35. > :05:38.all its medicines from drug companies, but no, it doesn't. In
:05:39. > :05:40.Portsmouth, an NHS "drugs factory" is making thousands of cancer
:05:41. > :05:46.medicines and antibiotics for patients around the country. Its
:05:47. > :05:49.location is a closely guarded secret, but our health correspondent
:05:50. > :05:58.David Fenton was given exclusive access to see what goes on.
:05:59. > :06:04.Here in the heart of Portsmouth, the NHS is making its own drugs. This
:06:05. > :06:12.one is that a cancer patient, all done under strictly controlled
:06:13. > :06:18.conditions. That air is filtered so virtually scrubbed clean and the
:06:19. > :06:26.products are white and placed into a chamber and gassed with a product
:06:27. > :06:32.called hydrogen peroxide. This is one of only if you NHS centres
:06:33. > :06:38.licensed to make and sell drugs. Most of the items made him go to
:06:39. > :06:43.local patients, but not all. We sell product all across the country to
:06:44. > :06:50.other parts of the UK, even in Wales and to many other parts of the
:06:51. > :06:55.region: Oxford, Southampton. Last year, those sales made ?2 million
:06:56. > :07:01.for the local hospital. Not bad that a part of the NHS are very few
:07:02. > :07:05.people have ever heard of. The Ministry of Defence is refusing
:07:06. > :07:08.to give details about the extra ?800 million it's agreed to pay for the
:07:09. > :07:12.Royal Navy's new Portsmouth`based aircraft carriers. It has also
:07:13. > :07:15.declined to say how much public money will be spent, making more
:07:16. > :07:19.than 1,000 Portsmouth shipyard workers redundant. The Ministry says
:07:20. > :07:22.it would be "inappropriate" to give a breakdown of the extra costs
:07:23. > :07:25.before new contracts are signed and that redundancy payments are a
:07:26. > :07:27.confidential matter between them and BAE.
:07:28. > :07:31.Motorists are being warned of long delays as part of the A34 will be
:07:32. > :07:34.closed this weekend and next for maintenance repairs. The work is
:07:35. > :07:36.taking place at a bridge near Beedon. Tonight, the southbound
:07:37. > :07:41.carriageway will be shut between Didcot and the M4 until Monday
:07:42. > :07:54.morning. There's a 70`mile detour for motorway traffic via the M40,
:07:55. > :08:07.A404 and the M4. We are resurfacing and re`waterproofing that brief. We
:08:08. > :08:11.will finish the southbound this weekend. The northbound has to still
:08:12. > :08:18.be done and, weather permitting, we will be doing that next weekend.
:08:19. > :08:21.The children of Iraq are finding an unusual source of support in
:08:22. > :08:23.Berkshire. Years of war and violence in Iraq have created enormous
:08:24. > :08:26.challenges in providing a stable, working education for the children
:08:27. > :08:30.there. Now the Iraqi government are turning to the UK for help, in
:08:31. > :08:33.particular to the ideas of one teacher who, for the last three
:08:34. > :08:36.years, has been swapping his classroom in Newbury for one in
:08:37. > :08:42.Baghdad. They might be teachers in Iraq, but
:08:43. > :08:47.here, they are pupils in the UK to learn firm a man who is changing the
:08:48. > :08:52.way in Iraqi children are taught. It is about the approaches successful
:08:53. > :08:57.here to develop young people as leaders and work with their teachers
:08:58. > :09:03.plan lessons. But then thinking about how that impacts on lessons in
:09:04. > :09:08.maths and science. War and sectarian conflict destabilised education in
:09:09. > :09:14.Iraq. Two years ago, Derek got a call from the British Council. As
:09:15. > :09:22.the head of the sports College, his idea was to swap the classroom for
:09:23. > :09:29.the playground. We started by two schools only, and now we have got 50
:09:30. > :09:37.schools following the same programme. We apply these things
:09:38. > :09:44.with our children and adults and they did it very well. These
:09:45. > :09:49.teachers will now return to Iraq, although, if they are not careful,
:09:50. > :09:53.they might end up with experience of our health service, too.
:09:54. > :09:55.The future of Bracknell Indoor Market is being discussed. The
:09:56. > :09:59.council is consulting on three proposals. Last year, traders
:10:00. > :10:02.expressed fears over the future of the site. Options include leaving
:10:03. > :10:11.the market where it is, relocating it outside or closing it completely.
:10:12. > :10:14.Tonight is the big night for Children in Need. All week, you've
:10:15. > :10:17.been fundraising to improve the lives of thousands of children
:10:18. > :10:20.across the South. Our extravaganza gets underway at Beaulieu Motor
:10:21. > :10:23.Museum where we can join Tony Husband and our wonderful guest
:10:24. > :10:35.presenter for the night, Samantha Bond. Are you looking forward to a
:10:36. > :10:40.night of fun, then? Our wonderful crowd was so loud I missed the
:10:41. > :10:45.question! Something about having a good time. I we going to have a good
:10:46. > :10:49.time tonight? We certainly are. Children in need care. We are here
:10:50. > :10:55.to celebrate the fantastic work Children in Need do and encourage
:10:56. > :11:03.you to donate. Come and have a walk with me because we have a bit of a
:11:04. > :11:10.James Bond theme going on. Wonderful display. 50 vehicles used in 50
:11:11. > :11:21.years of James Bond films. We are all set. You've done After Downton
:11:22. > :11:23.Abbey and the James Bond films, tonight is surely the pinnacle of
:11:24. > :11:25.your career, working alongside someone talented, suave,
:11:26. > :11:30.sophisticated, mysterious. I'm talking Pudsey, of course!
:11:31. > :11:35.Thrilled to be here. I've never done anything like this in my life!
:11:36. > :11:43.You've done a few of these before, so we know what to expect: Chaos,
:11:44. > :11:46.fun, fundraising. You will have a fabulous time. Everybody there has
:11:47. > :11:58.got one name: To raise money for Children in Need. Absolutely. That's
:11:59. > :12:04.the only aim we have all evening. We have got Caitlin and Jacob, who have
:12:05. > :12:08.come from Dorset. We've been making bookmarks that go on the corner of
:12:09. > :12:20.your page. They are all different sorts of animals. They go on the
:12:21. > :12:36.corner of your page like that. How much have you raised? ?44. A
:12:37. > :12:43.fantastic start! How do you? Five. I went round the Common on a bicycle.
:12:44. > :13:07.That took me three miles. That's a long way! I raised ?430. ?436.
:13:08. > :13:15.That's brilliant. Well done. We do all sorts of things. Gardening,
:13:16. > :13:24.making Christmas cards. And some cakes? A tea party for Pudsey. ?166
:13:25. > :13:42.we've raised. I went to Winchester Young Carers,
:13:43. > :13:44.which supports young people who have a caring role in their homes. I met
:13:45. > :14:03.some very inspiring youngsters. I care for my brother, Liam, because
:14:04. > :14:09.he's blind. I care for my dad because he has got epilepsy and my
:14:10. > :14:16.sister who is partially deaf. I care for my mum. A lot of people don't
:14:17. > :14:35.know their carer until they are told. I didn't know I was until I
:14:36. > :14:41.was 12. It makes you think. The support they give is the most
:14:42. > :14:50.amazing you can get. They made me stronger. One of you was saying you
:14:51. > :15:00.suddenly feel sort of mature and you can give things back. If it wasn't
:15:01. > :15:05.for funding from Children in Need, we wouldn't be able to pay for a
:15:06. > :15:13.schools and support coordinator and identify the young people and
:15:14. > :15:20.support them. They are blessed to have this place, to be safe, to be
:15:21. > :15:34.together, to be able to share. I feel immensely humbled. Yes! Lovely
:15:35. > :15:38.to see the Winchester Young carers there, and Sam very touched by what
:15:39. > :15:42.she saw on her visit there. All this week, we have been
:15:43. > :15:50.following DrumA, a group of autistic drummers who will perform here live
:15:51. > :16:02.in a few minutes. Sarah Farmer is down on the stage with them. Let me
:16:03. > :16:06.introduce you to the group. These 17 youngsters have been rehearsing
:16:07. > :16:10.since April. They come from all over the south, and when the group first
:16:11. > :16:16.formed, some had never played the drums or even been on stage. So to
:16:17. > :16:23.be in front of this lovely audience is a pretty big deal. But each of
:16:24. > :16:28.these youngsters has autism. For people on the autistic spectrum,
:16:29. > :16:31.they may find it difficult to be in busy situations and sensitive to
:16:32. > :16:36.loud noises and uncomfortable with people they don't know. And that is
:16:37. > :16:40.what makes this challenge even bigger. They have raised hundreds of
:16:41. > :16:47.pounds for Children in Need, and you, too, can donate tonight. The
:16:48. > :16:53.details are on the screen now, and they have worked really hard for
:16:54. > :16:58.every penny. The conductor has been in charge and has been guiding them
:16:59. > :17:05.through rehearsals. Are they ready tonight? Oh, yes! These guys are
:17:06. > :20:02.poised for the performance of a lifetime. But are you ready?
:20:03. > :20:16.I understand this is also a fundraising activity. Thank you so
:20:17. > :20:27.much. You are wonderful, guys! Amazing. Sensational performance.
:20:28. > :20:35.The adrenaline is running high. Fantastic. You must have realised
:20:36. > :20:46.that about 100 times, but how did it feel to be on stage tonight? It felt
:20:47. > :20:53.epic! Most of them would love to do it all over again. Some people
:20:54. > :20:59.absolutely bursting with pride. If you were moved or amazed, please
:21:00. > :21:10.donate, say thank you by giving to BBC Children in Need.
:21:11. > :21:20.You will be hearing about a lot more throughout the evening. My heart was
:21:21. > :21:30.in my mouth. I just thought they did so well! They were truly great. Well
:21:31. > :21:47.done. A lot of other people are fundraising. Who says dentists don't
:21:48. > :21:52.rock? These dentists dressed as punks. They raised hundreds of
:21:53. > :21:58.pounds guessing how many safety pins they were wearing. They even sold
:21:59. > :22:05.cakes to patients... As long as they brushed afterwards. Spots with the
:22:06. > :22:10.world of the day here. Now, this is what you call customer feedback.
:22:11. > :22:14.Managers at Morrisons put themselves in the firing line. Can't think why
:22:15. > :22:21.this was so popular with staff at the store. These managers are doing
:22:22. > :22:28.their bit, hoping to raise ?1000. I will be in trouble. There was a
:22:29. > :22:35.hairy moment for Marshall as he had his Afro shaved off. Children at
:22:36. > :22:40.this primary school dressed up as superheroes, and there was a
:22:41. > :22:47.superhero effort from sailors at HMS Sultan. They were on the pull.
:22:48. > :22:51.Where's Wally? In north Dorset, of course! This group walking to work
:22:52. > :22:58.wearing the same outfit. What are the chances of that? These two
:22:59. > :23:02.entertained people shopping in Romsey. It's the third year they've
:23:03. > :23:08.done it, and today, they raised just under ?600. Fabulous raise a
:23:09. > :23:31.fundraising! Keep it going. The weather has been kind to us
:23:32. > :23:37.today. If a little chilly. We had clear skies overhead today and it's
:23:38. > :23:40.been pretty chilly. We did eventually see clouds spilling in
:23:41. > :23:46.from the north`west, but in the most part, it has been a pretty fine day.
:23:47. > :23:51.We got clear skies overhead that night as well, so it's going to be a
:23:52. > :23:56.chilly one. We are expecting a widespread frost, and stubborn fog
:23:57. > :24:03.patches as well to content with. It looks like temperatures could get
:24:04. > :24:08.down to freezing in our and cities. A very cold night to come. Very
:24:09. > :24:13.chilly start of the day as well. Those temperatures still hovering
:24:14. > :24:19.around that freezing mark first thing. Fog around as well. That
:24:20. > :24:24.could struggle to lift. Dense fog could well linger late into the
:24:25. > :24:28.morning. Elsewhere, good bright and sunny spells. We will see the cloud
:24:29. > :24:33.spilling from the north`west as the day goes on, so tomorrow's
:24:34. > :24:39.temperatures: Nine or 10 degrees. But generally a fine day. Tomorrow
:24:40. > :24:45.night, we stick with the cloud, and it will be quieter and milder than
:24:46. > :24:49.tonight. Temperatures five or six degrees above freezing, so feeling
:24:50. > :24:55.warmer. But it looks like we have those cloudy conditions to take us
:24:56. > :25:00.into Sunday. Generally, quite a cloudy affair and maybe a little bit
:25:01. > :25:05.of dampness. On Monday, we will see wet conditions. Maybe a touch on the
:25:06. > :25:12.breezy side, but outbreaks of patchy rain coming and going. Monday is the
:25:13. > :25:13.damp day, but by Tuesday, it shows up but it will feel chilly for
:25:14. > :25:39.Tuesday and Wednesday. What a time to forget your driver 's
:25:40. > :25:49.license! Tell us about the James Bond films you're in. The spy that
:25:50. > :26:00.loved me. Diamonds are forever. You only live twice. Three of them. Not
:26:01. > :26:17.bad. Superb films, super tines. And that wonderful voice. Two Bond girls
:26:18. > :26:21.together. Which film are you in? On Her Majesty 's Secret Service, and
:26:22. > :26:25.it's great to be part of the new club with the Queen is our newest
:26:26. > :26:39.member. And thank you for being here this evening. It's been wonderful.
:26:40. > :26:44.We started well. Throughout the evening, Terry Wogan will be hosting
:26:45. > :26:50.the main national show, and we will be here. We are popping up
:26:51. > :27:03.throughout the evening in the main Children in Need show at
:27:04. > :27:07.approximately 7:50, 8:50 and 9:15. Or those details and the number you
:27:08. > :27:12.can get online and donate as well. Give what you can. We are going to
:27:13. > :27:17.leave you with a taste of DrummerA's performance.
