:00:00. > :00:11.Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme:
:00:12. > :00:12.tributes to Nelson Mandela and personal memories from his friend
:00:13. > :00:17.and bodyguard. Many times he said to people that he
:00:18. > :00:18.is not a saint, not a prophet, just an ordinary man who followed his
:00:19. > :00:32.conscience. Praise from the Prince for the
:00:33. > :00:34.Aldershot soldiers safely back from Afghanistan.
:00:35. > :00:36.A lesson in language ` a pioneering scheme where children learn from
:00:37. > :00:48.each other. And a taste of Yassa ` the Gambian
:00:49. > :01:00.dish that this woman is hoping will hit supermarket shelves.
:01:01. > :01:06.He was a colossus on the world stage but it was his ability to connect
:01:07. > :01:09.with, and better the lives of ordinary people that made him
:01:10. > :01:12.special. That's why people who never knew Nelson Mandela have gathered
:01:13. > :01:16.now for a vigil in Southampton ` one of the many tributes from people
:01:17. > :01:31.here in the South who feel touched by his death. A light for a man who
:01:32. > :01:36.banished the darkness of apartheid. Tonight, Nelson Mandela was honoured
:01:37. > :01:40.at a candlelit vigil in Southampton. I wanted to pay my respects because
:01:41. > :01:47.he is an icon in the world. He is a great inspiration. We are
:01:48. > :01:55.celebrating and are happy to be part of a society that experienced this
:01:56. > :01:58.man. His strength and dignity during a
:01:59. > :02:04.struggle for freedom have touched millions around the world, not least
:02:05. > :02:09.here in the South. This South African man teaches at Bournemouth
:02:10. > :02:14.University. He was at the 1995 Rugby World Cup for the poignant moment
:02:15. > :02:20.when Mandela for a Springbok jersey. This was previously a symbol of
:02:21. > :02:26.apartheid. You really solve the two races
:02:27. > :02:32.accepting each other, but the most significant part was when he left
:02:33. > :02:39.the stadium. It took us ten hours to get home and the distance was
:02:40. > :02:44.probably only for five miles. This woman runs a South African
:02:45. > :02:50.shop. She remembers being a little girl when the free elections took
:02:51. > :02:52.place. There were some in the people voting, they were queueing all the
:02:53. > :02:56.way down the road past my house. It was a hot day. It was great
:02:57. > :03:03.because I could give them water and keep them going. I feel extremely
:03:04. > :03:11.lucky to have been in the country when changes like that where needed
:03:12. > :03:15.and happened. This film tells the true story of a
:03:16. > :03:20.South African woman who forgave the man who ordered the shooting of her
:03:21. > :03:32.daughter. The Berkshire film`maker attributes are ability to forgive to
:03:33. > :03:36.Nelson Mandela's ability and legacy. He had a forgiving spirit in him and
:03:37. > :03:43.it made its mark on South Africa. Of his death has caused much sadness,
:03:44. > :03:48.many of what Nelson Mandela stood for will live on in future
:03:49. > :03:51.generations. People may not necessarily know the
:03:52. > :04:02.historical and Portugal significance of Mandela but they know that this
:04:03. > :04:07.man is very important. Tonight, along with the morning been
:04:08. > :04:13.a celebration of a man who is unlikely to be forgotten.
:04:14. > :04:19.I'm joined now by Chris Lubbey, who was born in South Africa but now
:04:20. > :04:21.lives in Fareham. He was an ANC activist who became Nelson Mandela's
:04:22. > :04:28.personal bodyguard. Thank you for coming in. So many tributes and
:04:29. > :04:36.wonderful words. You had a very intimate relationship with him. He
:04:37. > :04:45.impressed me. He was a man who was a true leader.
:04:46. > :04:52.He believed that South Africa should be free. He was a man who loved the
:04:53. > :05:02.fact that people should live together and bond. He was of course
:05:03. > :05:09.a very charismatic leader. After being imprisoned for 27 years, to
:05:10. > :05:18.say I forgive you was amazing. He was a very humble man, wasn't he?
:05:19. > :05:25.He wrote a letter to your parents. Absolutely.
:05:26. > :05:38.This letter, he said to me one day. He knew that my mother was ill. He
:05:39. > :05:45.took out this letter and said that he had typed it himself. He said
:05:46. > :05:58.that in prison we did not have computers and I had a long time to
:05:59. > :06:04.do it! I was very moved. He was intent on doing this act himself.
:06:05. > :06:12.You worked for him. Did you like him as a person?
:06:13. > :06:18.I loved him as a person, but he was a very disciplined man and laughed
:06:19. > :06:33.discipline and I think that came about after having been through such
:06:34. > :06:40.a struggle. He believed that we, as comrades, should be disciplined. He
:06:41. > :06:54.would ask me: Why are your shoes not polished? How would you sum up your
:06:55. > :07:03.feelings today? I am sad but yet privileged that for the first time
:07:04. > :07:17.in my life I became a human being and I were that to Nelson Mandela.
:07:18. > :07:21.A Government watchdog ` the National Audit Office ` has questioned the
:07:22. > :07:25.potential of enterprise zones to create jobs. The zones are designed
:07:26. > :07:27.to attract companies to areas being redeveloped. When unveiled in 2011,
:07:28. > :07:30.the Government estimated they'd bring 54,000 new jobs nationally.
:07:31. > :07:34.Earlier this year, that was cut by two thirds with an estimated 18,000
:07:35. > :07:36.new jobs at best. Land on the disused Daedalus airfield at
:07:37. > :07:39.Lee`on`the`Solent in Hampshire was made an enterprise zone. That aims
:07:40. > :07:43.to create 650 jobs in the same period, rising eventually to 3,700.
:07:44. > :07:46.But will those jobs ` even more in demand with the loss of shipbuilding
:07:47. > :07:51.in Portsmouth ` actually materialise?
:07:52. > :07:54.There are big expectations for this 82 hectare site. As one of the
:07:55. > :07:57.Government's enterprise zones, it is expected to create hundreds of
:07:58. > :08:00.much`needed jobs. This company has been here for years, long before
:08:01. > :08:06.Daedalus was given its special status.
:08:07. > :08:09.To date it has been slow. I think that next year we will see a
:08:10. > :08:12.definite change. So, some positivity but you're not
:08:13. > :08:14.seeing new companies moving on`site yet?
:08:15. > :08:19.As yet, we're not, but I feel that next year will see a definite
:08:20. > :08:22.change. Enterprise zone status brings lower
:08:23. > :08:25.taxes and grants for businesses to invest and expand. David Cameron has
:08:26. > :08:30.called them trailblazers for growth, jobs and prosperity. But a report
:08:31. > :08:39.out today says that sites like this one have a way to go to achieve that
:08:40. > :08:41.ambition. As well as enterprise zones, local enterprise partnerships
:08:42. > :08:46.and initiatives, like city deals, are all under scrutiny.
:08:47. > :08:49.We've said in a report that the Government needs to plan better how
:08:50. > :08:52.it's going to measure outcomes and evaluate performance. The current
:08:53. > :08:54.structures are not yet able to demonstrate that they are capable of
:08:55. > :09:02.delivering value for money. Enterprise zones were hugely
:09:03. > :09:04.successful under the last Conservative Government. They
:09:05. > :09:08.generated jobs and brought businesses in. But we're right at
:09:09. > :09:12.the early stage at the moment and there's a lot of work to be done to
:09:13. > :09:13.make sure that structures like roadworks and broadband are in
:09:14. > :09:22.place. Few new businesses have moved onto
:09:23. > :09:25.the site of this former naval base but eight firms are currently in
:09:26. > :09:28.negotiations and it is hoped that more will follow.
:09:29. > :09:33.650 jobs will be here on site by 2015. The companies that we are
:09:34. > :09:37.already speaking to will deliver 400 of those jobs. The innovation centre
:09:38. > :09:41.that will start here in partnership with Fareham Borough Council has the
:09:42. > :09:47.potential to deliver further 150, so we're very much on track.
:09:48. > :09:55.Marine Concepts has grown from a workforce of 12 to 55 since the
:09:56. > :09:59.recession. It is a small success story that will need to be repeated
:10:00. > :10:02.several times over if this site is to stand up to Government
:10:03. > :10:14.expectations and make up for the hundreds of jobs lost at
:10:15. > :10:17.Portsmouth's dockyard. "You did your job magnificently".
:10:18. > :10:20.The words of Prince William, who was in Hampshire today to present medals
:10:21. > :10:24.to soldiers who've served in Afghanistan. The Duke of Cambridge
:10:25. > :10:27.is the Colonel of The Irish Gurads, who are based at Mons Barracks in
:10:28. > :10:30.Aldershot. Friends and family of number two
:10:31. > :10:32.company, first Battalion of The Irish Gurads gathered here to watch
:10:33. > :10:36.loved ones receive operational service medals from the Duke of
:10:37. > :10:38.Cambridge, as his standard flew at half`mast in tribute to Nelson
:10:39. > :10:42.Mandela. Hundred and 20 soldiers returned from a six`month tour of
:10:43. > :10:45.duty in Helmand province in October. No one was killed in their unit but
:10:46. > :10:48.they did suffer some casualties. Many guardsmen were involved in
:10:49. > :10:50.training the new Afghan security forces.
:10:51. > :10:53.Most of the guys were very subtly steering the Afghan security forces
:10:54. > :10:56.through their first fighting season in Helmand and the Afghans did a
:10:57. > :10:59.terrific job. Yes, they took casualties, but it is their country
:11:00. > :11:09.and it's quite right that they should be fighting.
:11:10. > :11:12.Operation Herrick also involved disrupting insurgents and the
:11:13. > :11:15.guardsmen carried out operations defined weapons and bomb` making
:11:16. > :11:20.equipment. But they were glad to be home.
:11:21. > :11:24.It's really good to be back with my family and my girlfriend.
:11:25. > :11:26.A little trip to Paris as a 'welcome back'. It's very nice to have him
:11:27. > :11:33.home. We'll try to keep them here as long
:11:34. > :11:37.as we can. I got to meet my family after the
:11:38. > :11:43.parade, which I am really made up with.
:11:44. > :11:59.The Duke left a lasting impression. Many of the guards here are now
:12:00. > :12:03.looking forward to Christmas leave. A woman had to be rescued from her
:12:04. > :12:06.overturned car after she appeared to attempt to drive across Poole's
:12:07. > :12:08.Twins Sails bridge while it was lifting. Firefighters removed her
:12:09. > :12:11.from her Renault Clio which overturned on the bridge. It's
:12:12. > :12:14.believed operators stopped the lifting process after she drove
:12:15. > :12:17.through a barrier. She's not thought to be seriously hurt.
:12:18. > :12:20.Still to come on South Today: a taste of Yassa, the Gambian dish
:12:21. > :12:26.that this woman is hoping will hit supermarket shelves.
:12:27. > :12:30.An oil company has made an application to put an exploratory
:12:31. > :12:33.well in the South Downs National Park. Celtique Energie say it
:12:34. > :12:36.doesn't want to use the controversial fracking technique at
:12:37. > :12:39.this stage but it won't rule it out as a future possibility. Residents
:12:40. > :12:42.in Fernhurst near Haslemere were already aware of the proposal and
:12:43. > :12:44.say they'll now step up their opposition.
:12:45. > :12:48.Martin Knight's home in Fernhurst looks out over the proposed test
:12:49. > :12:51.drill site. The campaign to try and stop it happening today was being
:12:52. > :12:54.planned by him and his neighbours. Boosted by an earlier visit from
:12:55. > :12:58.their local MP, a one`time supporter of fracking who now says it should
:12:59. > :13:01.not happen here. He was too busy to explain his change of heart, but
:13:02. > :13:05.campaigners say this site is different.
:13:06. > :13:08.If this site is successful then there would then need to be further
:13:09. > :13:10.sites across Sussex to make it commercially viable, so that's the
:13:11. > :13:20.end of the Sussex Weald. Martin Knight's home in Fernhurst
:13:21. > :13:40.looks out over the proposed test drill site. Fernhurst will be the
:13:41. > :13:43.only one of the company's sites within the National Park. It is
:13:44. > :13:46.already a planning application lodged with West Sussex County
:13:47. > :13:49.Council for an exploratory well at Wisborough Green. Next year, killing
:13:50. > :13:52.will begin at Broadford Bridge, the only site where the company has
:13:53. > :13:55.pledged not to use fracking. Celtique Energie, the firm behind
:13:56. > :14:01.the plans say they recognise the importance of the National Park. It
:14:02. > :14:09.is what might follow that worries the people in Fernhurst. The gas is
:14:10. > :14:17.in the deep shale. The only way to get at it is through fracking. This
:14:18. > :14:38.is a way of getting their foot in the door.
:14:39. > :14:43.Basingstoke School has come up with a pioneering way to help pupils who
:14:44. > :15:00.do not have English as their first language.
:15:01. > :15:06.Having a mother tongue that's not English need not be a barrier to
:15:07. > :15:09.learning. Fairfields Primary School has developed an interpreter buddy
:15:10. > :15:18.scheme so children can get on better in the classroom and the playground.
:15:19. > :15:21.The translator and their buddy don't necessarily speak the same language,
:15:22. > :15:22.but it's all about using communication skills and personal
:15:23. > :15:32.experience to help the each other. They're not all bilingual, it's
:15:33. > :15:49.about communication skills, the kids are empathetic, patient. Some of
:15:50. > :15:54.them are also bilingual. In this school alone, 27 languages
:15:55. > :15:57.are spoken. The scheme's been so successful it's being rolled out
:15:58. > :16:03.across Hampshire and now 200 pupils are involved, in 30 different
:16:04. > :16:05.schools in the county. Fairfields has seen more and more pupils
:16:06. > :16:09.volunteering to become young interpreters.
:16:10. > :16:18.I read to them or they read to me and I help them with spellings.
:16:19. > :16:26.I thought it would be nice to help them.
:16:27. > :16:27.The idea has now taken off in other parts of the country too, and
:16:28. > :17:03.abroad. Former Crawley Town manager Richie
:17:04. > :17:08.Barker has emerged as the leading contender to be named as
:17:09. > :17:11.Portsmouth's manager. Barker, seen here in the centre alongside Steve
:17:12. > :17:14.Coppell, was among a group of candidates interviewed this week.
:17:15. > :17:16.Others included Oxford boss Chris Wilder, Exeter's Paul Tisdale and
:17:17. > :17:20.former Pompey manager Steve Claridge. Barker left Crawley last
:17:21. > :17:37.week. An official announcement is expected on Monday.
:17:38. > :17:40.It's FA Cup second round weekend and Oxford stayed alive in the
:17:41. > :17:43.competition with a late extra time winner in their delayed replay at
:17:44. > :17:45.Gateshead last night There were just four minutes remaining at the
:17:46. > :17:55.International stadium when Oxford won a penalty.
:17:56. > :18:03.They are going to be strong. I have no doubts about that. They have come
:18:04. > :18:17.down from the Premier League with a good squad. We expect another tough
:18:18. > :18:23.game. We have not been outplayed. We have lost three games this season
:18:24. > :18:37.so far away from home. I want us to play exciting football. It is a
:18:38. > :18:40.balance that you have to get right. It's FA Cup second round weekend and
:18:41. > :18:44.Oxford stayed alive in the competition with a late extra time
:18:45. > :18:47.winner in their delayed replay at Gateshead last night There were just
:18:48. > :18:49.four minutes remaining at the International stadium when Oxford
:18:50. > :18:53.won a penalty. Deane Smalley scored from the spot, to prevent the
:18:54. > :18:55.dreaded shoot out and put Oxford into a second round tie on Monday at
:18:56. > :18:58.Wrexham. Meanwhile Non`league Salisbury City
:18:59. > :19:00.travel to Port Vale tonight hoping to cause an upset against the league
:19:01. > :19:04.one club. And among other ties, Brackley Town
:19:05. > :19:10.hope to keep their FA Cup journey alive on the road at Macclesfield.
:19:11. > :19:13.Southampton will hope to avoid a fourth consecutive defeat in the
:19:14. > :19:15.Premier League tomorrow they host Manchester City at St Mary's.
:19:16. > :19:19.Wednesday's defeat moved Saints down to eighth in the table, courtesy of
:19:20. > :19:21.their excellent autumn run. But injuries are continuing to bite.
:19:22. > :19:24.Victor Wanyama and Nathanial Clyne join Artur Boruc on the treatment

:19:34. > :19:36.cap as England's women beat China in the quarter finals of the World
:19:37. > :19:39.League Hockey finals. A Georgie Twigg penalty gave England a 1`0 win
:19:40. > :19:42.to set up a semifinal against Australia tomorrow evening. Despite
:19:43. > :19:44.the narrow score line, England, who are captained by Reading's Kate

:20:00. > :20:03.27`year`old was a convincing winner of the British trial race, and will
:20:04. > :20:06.be looking to at least improve on his 13th place finish at last year's
:20:07. > :20:10.European event. The Isle of Wight's Jess Andrews and Aldershot's Emilia

:20:29. > :20:49.at your table. Italian, Spanish tapas, Indian curry... Friday is
:20:50. > :20:59.pizza night in our house. What about Gambian? The most common dish is
:21:00. > :21:03.Yassa. You may not know it now, but I've been to meet a Gambian woman
:21:04. > :21:07.who lives in Southampton who believes that could be about to
:21:08. > :21:11.change. It makes me feel really amazing
:21:12. > :21:26.because it has been a really long journey. A friend asked me for a
:21:27. > :21:35.recipe and I thought maybe there is a gap in the market. From biochemist
:21:36. > :21:38.to food producer, this woman has made her way through the challenges
:21:39. > :21:45.of the food industry to make her way onto the shelves of this farm shop.
:21:46. > :21:54.She showed me the secrets of making the Gambian dish, Yassa will stop. I
:21:55. > :22:08.have some scotch bonnet chilies here. You only need very little.
:22:09. > :22:12.Growing up, we used to marinate fish and we were really lucky because my
:22:13. > :22:24.grandma had a big yard and fruit trees will stop.
:22:25. > :22:36.Yassa be an everyday meal? It is like lasagne or holidays in
:22:37. > :22:44.Italy. `` Balinese in Italy. The Yassa is barbecued meat or fish.
:22:45. > :23:00.We need to marinate onions. It is a national dish. We eat Yassa to
:23:01. > :23:09.celebrate any event. Usually when I cook I just throw everything in, so
:23:10. > :23:12.coming up with a marinade means trying to experiment and get all the
:23:13. > :23:20.measurements right. My poor husband had to eat Yassa all year.
:23:21. > :23:32.I had to be to four about my weight, as you can imagine I ate a lot of
:23:33. > :23:48.this stuff! What she has done to develop this project and product is
:23:49. > :23:53.amazing. The lady is the boss! It is a family affair at today's
:23:54. > :24:04.tasting, as she reaches out to more people to expand her business. But
:24:05. > :24:11.then something unexpected happened. I am from Waitrose. Very nice to see
:24:12. > :24:22.you. Would you like an appointment with us? I would love it! We thought
:24:23. > :24:31.this Yassa was fantastic. I had a taste. I will make sure that we get
:24:32. > :24:52.you an appointment. That would be fabulous. Thank you very much.
:24:53. > :25:05.That is amazing. She has now heard from the Waitrose buyers and has a
:25:06. > :25:18.meeting. Good luck to her. Andrew Sykes took this photo of the

:25:32. > :25:42.sunshine today and tonight we had some increasing cloud. Temperatures
:25:43. > :25:49.tonight will not be as chilly as last night. Down to three Celsius in
:25:50. > :25:58.the countryside. There is still a flood warning in force for
:25:59. > :26:04.Shoreham. Tomorrow morning one or two showers are possible. A slightly
:26:05. > :26:22.drier day. A few showers drifting into the West. Temperatures up to 10
