:00:00. > :00:00.News at Six, so it's goodbye from me, and on BBC One we now join the
:00:07. > :00:12.Hello, I'm Laura Trant. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme:
:00:13. > :00:19.An increase in people being diagnosed with HIV ` especially
:00:20. > :00:25.among older women. I was bedridden, fed with drip is, they were giving
:00:26. > :00:29.me blood. I was totally reliant on staff for everything.
:00:30. > :00:32.New evidence ` a fatal flat fire in Littlehampton is now being treated
:00:33. > :00:36.as arson and murder. Cutting funds aimed at helping those
:00:37. > :00:38.who are cut off ` the bus budgets being slashed.
:00:39. > :00:48.And he stood against Napoleon, but now a tree planted by the Duke of
:00:49. > :00:51.Wellington has finally fallen. It is actually an honour to be at
:00:52. > :00:55.the top of those trees because the viewer is fantastic. It is a great
:00:56. > :01:07.shame that the trees have to come down.
:01:08. > :01:10.There has been an increase in the number of people diagnosed with HIV
:01:11. > :01:12.across the South. Reading, Southampton, Bournemouth and
:01:13. > :01:16.Portsmouth have all seen a rise in the number of those living with the
:01:17. > :01:19.condition between 2011 and 2012. Figures from Public Health England
:01:20. > :01:26.show that there was a 10% increase in people living with HIV in
:01:27. > :01:30.Reading, to 325 people. Southampton saw an 8% rise to 310. In
:01:31. > :01:35.Bournemouth, there was a 4% increase in those living with HIV, to 335.
:01:36. > :01:41.The rise in Portsmouth was smaller, 2%, up to 215. One of the biggest
:01:42. > :01:53.rises in those newly diagnosed was among older women. Tom Hepworth has
:01:54. > :01:58.this exclusive report. Anna is 62. After her marriage broke
:01:59. > :02:02.up she met a man on holiday in the Caribbean. She began a relationship.
:02:03. > :02:08.On one visit her boyfriend collapsed. The doctor came to visit
:02:09. > :02:12.and said, are we treating you for anything in this hospital? And then
:02:13. > :02:18.I heard him say, they are treating me for aids. I cannot really
:02:19. > :02:23.complain how I felt. It was like my stomach was going to fall out of me.
:02:24. > :02:25.People with HIV are living longer thanks to advances in treatment.
:02:26. > :02:29.But, increasingly, older people are being diagnosed, particularly women.
:02:30. > :02:36.Ten years ago, just over 100 women over the age of 50 were diagnosed as
:02:37. > :02:42.HIV positive in the South East. By 2011 that number had risen to over
:02:43. > :02:45.500, an increase of 394%. And it's still going up. In 2012 more than
:02:46. > :02:58.600 women over 50 were diagnosed with HIV, a rise of 19% in just 12
:02:59. > :03:06.months. I just went into denial. And nursed her partner and how shortly
:03:07. > :03:10.before she died `` he died. Once back home she became ill and spend
:03:11. > :03:19.three months in hospital. I was bedridden, fed with drip, there are
:03:20. > :03:30.giving me blood `` drip. If they had not caught you sooner? I would have
:03:31. > :03:35.died. We can treat almost everything that a person with HIV can get, but
:03:36. > :03:44.presenting late means that it is harder to treat. Often they do not
:03:45. > :03:51.respond. Older people are also less likely to take her test. People over
:03:52. > :03:54.the age of 50 are having sex and there is nothing wrong with that.
:03:55. > :03:59.When the challenge comes up is when people are not having protected sex
:04:00. > :04:04.or using condoms consistently. If you do not see yourself as at risk,
:04:05. > :04:08.because there has in a focus on young people, people might not
:04:09. > :04:15.understand that they are also at risk. Hannah's family has no idea
:04:16. > :04:21.that she is HIV positive, but she has told her son. Are used to say to
:04:22. > :04:25.myself, just let me see him go through school and become a man, he
:04:26. > :04:31.will be OK then. That was all I wanted. Database to the generation
:04:32. > :04:42.targeted by this government campaign in the 1980s remains the same.
:04:43. > :04:45.Three months after a man died in a fire at a block of flats in
:04:46. > :04:48.Littlehampton, detectives have said they are looking for his murderer.
:04:49. > :04:51.When 24`year`old Terry Davies died in the blaze on September 12th it
:04:52. > :04:55.was initially blamed on an electrical fault. But it has now
:04:56. > :04:58.emerged that white spirit was used to start the fire at South Parade.
:04:59. > :05:02.Sussex Police are appealing for help to find his killer. Katy Austin
:05:03. > :05:07.reports. As the block of flats was wrecked by
:05:08. > :05:12.flames, one man was tracked inside `` trapped. Terry Davies was found
:05:13. > :05:16.in the morning of the 12th of September once all of the other
:05:17. > :05:23.residents had been removed to safety. He died from the effects of
:05:24. > :05:27.breathing in smoke. It was initially thought that night call fault blamed
:05:28. > :05:32.the store caused the fire, but now they have found that white spirit
:05:33. > :05:37.was used and it is therefore now a murder enquiry. Police are
:05:38. > :05:41.struggling for Leeds. We have a lot of investigative lines of enquiry at
:05:42. > :05:46.the moment and we're hopeful that all of them you something. At this
:05:47. > :05:51.time we're keeping an open line, are keen for people to come and give us
:05:52. > :05:56.information. It is an absolute tragedy that this young man has
:05:57. > :05:59.died. I was speaking to his mother this morning, the family are
:06:00. > :06:04.heartbroken. We need to hear from the local community, somebody know
:06:05. > :06:06.something about this. This was not an accident, someone has
:06:07. > :06:11.deliberately set fire to this building and killed this man.
:06:12. > :06:15.Meanwhile, an internal investigation is being run into the Fire and
:06:16. > :06:21.rescue service that night, and why it took so long to find Terry
:06:22. > :06:27.Davies. The printout scene made the rescue operation, located and very
:06:28. > :06:31.lengthy. `` don't doubt seen. There are now appealing for any witnesses
:06:32. > :06:35.who might find the person responsible for the death of a
:06:36. > :06:38.popular young man to justice. And people with information can
:06:39. > :06:46.contact Sussex Police by telephoning 101 and quoting Operation Annexe.
:06:47. > :06:48.They're meant to reach cut`off communities, providing vital
:06:49. > :06:51.transport to hospitals and shops. But now subsidised bus routes are
:06:52. > :06:54.losing the council support they depend on. That's the claim of a
:06:55. > :06:58.report released today by the Campaign for Better Transport, which
:06:59. > :07:02.has singled out the South as an area where bus budgets are being trimmed
:07:03. > :07:06.the most. Rob Powell reports. David and Gwynne Wallace depend on
:07:07. > :07:10.the number ten bus to get from their home in Totton to Southampton
:07:11. > :07:18.General Hospital. But now the firm that runs it wants to cancel the
:07:19. > :07:21.route. There is no point having a bus pass if there are no buses to
:07:22. > :07:28.use it on. But it is only the one route that we are campaigning about,
:07:29. > :07:32.and our opinion that is the most important route. I am not driving at
:07:33. > :07:34.the moment and don't have to ask other people to take me to the
:07:35. > :07:38.hospital for my appointment. First Hampshire says the number ten only
:07:39. > :07:42.has ten passengers on board at any one time, meaning it loses money on
:07:43. > :07:45.the route. And this is where local authorities often come in. Supported
:07:46. > :07:47.buses are subsidised by councils and go to the unprofitable areas
:07:48. > :07:50.generally avoided by bus companies. But new research suggests these
:07:51. > :07:53.services are having their funding cut. Something the report's authors
:07:54. > :08:02.have said is pushing the nation's bus network into crisis. Without
:08:03. > :08:04.these bus services it will be much more difficult for the government to
:08:05. > :08:09.get people off welfare and into work, they will be paying more right
:08:10. > :08:14.in terms of social services, visiting old people. It will be more
:08:15. > :08:17.difficult to get young people access to training, colleges, education,
:08:18. > :08:21.and so on. In rural Dorset, around a third needs to be saved from the
:08:22. > :08:24.?2.8 million bus`subsidy pot by April next year. The County Council
:08:25. > :08:28.said some routes will have to go, but only ones that are not heavily
:08:29. > :08:31.used. Similar cuts here in urban Southampton, but a different result.
:08:32. > :08:36.42% came off the bus budget going into April this year. But next to no
:08:37. > :08:45.routes have been affected as the bus companies are picking up the slack.
:08:46. > :08:50.It works first Southampton because we are dense urban area with a dense
:08:51. > :08:55.population which means that we can support bus networks quite well,
:08:56. > :09:00.while in your `` whilst in rural areas it will have a much more
:09:01. > :09:05.catastrophic effect. Back in Totton, David and Gwynne are left waiting.
:09:06. > :09:08.Hampshire County Council is looking at alternatives to the seemingly
:09:09. > :09:11.doomed number ten bus route and has until January fourth to save it. Rob
:09:12. > :09:15.Powell, BBC South Today. A man has been sentenced to life in
:09:16. > :09:18.prison for killing a pensioner in Portsmouth. 87`year`old Stanley
:09:19. > :09:21.Carter was found dead at his home in Wimmering in September. The
:09:22. > :09:24.prosecution said a thief had duped his way in by pretending to be
:09:25. > :09:27.examining leaking pipes. Mr Carter was attacked after he became
:09:28. > :09:29.suspicious of the man. Today at Winchester Crown Court, 49`year`old
:09:30. > :09:39.Stephen Cowdrey pleaded guilty to murder.
:09:40. > :09:42.A group of residents have walked all the way from Surrey to personally
:09:43. > :09:46.hand in a petition to The Queen, asking for her help. Campaigners
:09:47. > :09:48.from Farnham want to remove the town from Waverley Borough Council's
:09:49. > :09:52.area. Instead Farnham would become a unitary authority, which will let
:09:53. > :09:55.them run their own affairs, as they did until 40 years ago. More than
:09:56. > :09:56.10,000 signatures have been collected.
:09:57. > :10:00.We have a compelling case for unitary authority status in order to
:10:01. > :10:05.unite the geographical community around Farnham, which is very clear
:10:06. > :10:12.from the addresses and locations in which people have supported and
:10:13. > :10:15.signed our petition. Still to come in this evening's

:10:20. > :10:23.planted by the Duke of Wellington is brought down, branch by branch.
:10:24. > :10:26.Work is under way to build a flyover for trains in Reading to ease the
:10:27. > :10:30.region's biggest rail bottleneck. It's more than a mile long, and it's
:10:31. > :10:37.a key element of the ?950 million project to transform the Great
:10:38. > :10:39.Western Main Line. The route is currently suffering from poor train
:10:40. > :10:45.performance. Our transport correspondent Paul Clifton has been
:10:46. > :10:48.to see the work in progress. The notorious Reading bottleneck.
:10:49. > :10:51.These trains are stuck, because in the distance a slow freight train is
:10:52. > :11:00.crossing the tracks in front of them. Delays here ` and they are
:11:01. > :11:02.frequent ` have knock`on effects as far afield as Bournemouth,
:11:03. > :11:07.Birmingham and Bristol. The solution is this... Work is well under way on
:11:08. > :11:10.a two kilometre long viaduct just west of Reading station. Today,
:11:11. > :11:21.drilling for the last few sections is being finished. The flyover is
:11:22. > :11:25.taking shape. From the top of the new viaduct you can see the existing
:11:26. > :11:30.railway and just say that here, where the new line is being built,
:11:31. > :11:33.trains will be running across here in just over a one`year's times.
:11:34. > :11:36.This is what it will look like, beside the Reading Festival site and
:11:37. > :11:40.with new links connecting the line to Basingstoke at the bottom of the
:11:41. > :11:50.picture. 250 people are working on this project. Over Christmas, that
:11:51. > :11:54.number will increase to 1,000. This will make an enormous difference. We
:11:55. > :11:57.are standing on the bottleneck to the west of Reading which causes
:11:58. > :12:00.considerable difficulties at the moment and we're going to end at
:12:01. > :12:04.separating our mainline trains from freight trains and from those trains
:12:05. > :12:08.running from the north to south. That gives us the chance to run were
:12:09. > :12:12.trained and reduce disruption. Train punctuality in the Thames Valley is
:12:13. > :12:15.currently the worst it has been for years, because Network Rail has
:12:16. > :12:35.missed every performance target. This should make a big difference.
:12:36. > :12:38.Hundreds of jobs could be created in Worthing after a global
:12:39. > :12:40.pharmaceutical company announced it is investing ?200 million to advance
:12:41. > :12:42.its manufacturing and science sectors.
:12:43. > :12:45.Glaxo Smith Kline says some of the money will go towards upgrading
:12:46. > :12:48.several sites across the country, including this one in Worthing.
:12:49. > :12:51.1,000 people currently work here, making ingredients for medicines
:12:52. > :12:53.which are supplied to more than 150 countries.
:12:54. > :12:56.Students are being warned to avoid signing contracts in a hurry during
:12:57. > :12:59.the annual rush to secure private housing. Some students begin looking
:13:00. > :13:02.for accommodation in November for the following October. Southampton
:13:03. > :13:05.University's Student Union says many feel pressured by letting agents to
:13:06. > :13:08.make decisions quickly, which can leave them with poor accommodation
:13:09. > :13:11.and high fees. Agents are being asked to change their approach, but
:13:12. > :13:25.as Chrissy Sturt reports, they say they're simply meeting demand.
:13:26. > :13:29.Picking up the keys to your student pad should be an exciting moment,
:13:30. > :13:33.but not for Eva. She felt pressured by a letting agent into making a
:13:34. > :13:35.decision, and was stung for a high fee. I wouldn't one anyone to go
:13:36. > :13:39.through that, really, I do not think it is rate for students. People talk
:13:40. > :13:43.about the hosting lifestyle but you have got enough going on with your
:13:44. > :13:47.degree. You already have to choose your housemates that you want to
:13:48. > :13:49.live with for a year and actors quite a difficult decision. If
:13:50. > :13:54.everyone is pressuring you to do that by November, it is ridiculous.
:13:55. > :13:57.Now estate agents are being asked by Southampton University Student Union
:13:58. > :14:00.to sign up to pledges to make the letting experience a good one. They
:14:01. > :14:04.include promises not to rush students into signing up, to be
:14:05. > :14:13.upfront about charges, not to hand out leaflets on campus. In a lot of
:14:14. > :14:18.other markets and places where people are letting housing this
:14:19. > :14:21.would not be acceptable. Letting agents are taking advantage of the
:14:22. > :14:25.fact that students will have never signed for a house before. If we can
:14:26. > :14:31.educate students to understand what their rights are then this would not
:14:32. > :14:33.be acceptable. They would not be paying this much money for the kind
:14:34. > :14:36.of quality of housing they are getting. But some lettings agencies
:14:37. > :14:41.say commercial realities lie behind the current scramble for property.
:14:42. > :14:46.At the end of November we have had to students coming in for our
:14:47. > :14:50.property west. As a free`market agent then we are just responding to
:14:51. > :14:59.the demand. Of the customer comes in and wants to see what properties we
:15:00. > :15:02.have we are not going to say no. Eva happily settled now, but doesn't
:15:03. > :15:06.want others to go through what she did. Chrissy Sturt, BBC South Today.
:15:07. > :15:09.With A departments facing the annual winter surge, Reading has
:15:10. > :15:13.become the latest community here in the South to try to intercept some
:15:14. > :15:16.of those who end up there after overindulging at the weekend. It's
:15:17. > :15:18.launching a bus`based treatment centre backed by a range of
:15:19. > :15:23.organisations including the Council, NHS and police. Joe Campbell
:15:24. > :15:26.reports. Many weekend revellers are familiar
:15:27. > :15:31.with the Knight bus. This one will not get you home after an evening of
:15:32. > :15:37.excess in Reading, but for some it could be an equally welcome sight.
:15:38. > :15:40.The pilot scheme won with St John's ambulance last year saw 26 patients
:15:41. > :15:46.who would otherwise have gone to AMD treated on board `` onto A It is
:15:47. > :15:52.no surprise that the new vehicle on display today will be staffed in
:15:53. > :15:57.part by South Central ambulance service. Having this resource in the
:15:58. > :16:04.tents... Town centre, which is obviously a peak area, it enables
:16:05. > :16:07.the team here to decide if the patient's need help and then it
:16:08. > :16:12.allows us to treat the patients that need help the first time at the
:16:13. > :16:18.right time. Reading is not the first place to implement town centre care.
:16:19. > :16:21.It is not just the health service that sees their value in dealing
:16:22. > :16:26.with rather different crowds on the streets at night. If we have
:16:27. > :16:30.somebody that we arrested then we normally have to take them to
:16:31. > :16:35.hospital. We can take them to the bus and they can be treated there.
:16:36. > :16:42.On Friday Saturday night, they can be treated faster than a four hour
:16:43. > :16:49.wait. This bus will be out on the streets of Reading in the next few
:16:50. > :17:02.weekends. From 2014, it will become a regular feature every Friday and
:17:03. > :17:05.Saturday night. On to sport, and we've got lots of

:19:53. > :19:59.But that was a big sobering experience. It is something I am
:20:00. > :20:03.definitely going to learn from. Great Britain's Lutaylo Muhammed won
:20:04. > :20:08.bronze in London. He is not seeded at this event and the pair avoided
:20:09. > :20:14.each other. Whether they meet on the maps now depends on Saturday's
:20:15. > :20:19.results. It was not Lutaylo Muhammed's fault, it was everyone
:20:20. > :20:23.behind the scenes, I have nothing against him. If that fight happens,
:20:24. > :20:38.it happens. There will only be one winner and it will be me. Georgia
:20:39. > :20:41.Barnes is also competing. I am also very excited to get the wild card.
:20:42. > :20:52.It is an honour, a great opportunity. Georgia Barnes content
:20:53. > :20:56.two share the common goal of the 2016 Olympics. The challenges they
:20:57. > :21:02.face to get there are very different.
:21:03. > :21:05.Round`the`world sailor Mike Golding heads the nominations for this
:21:06. > :21:07.year's prestigious Yachtsman of the Year Award, awarded by the Yachting
:21:08. > :21:10.Journalists Association The Warsash sailor became the first person ever
:21:11. > :21:13.to complete three Vendee Globes, when he finished sixth this year.
:21:14. > :21:19.70`year`old Jean Socrates from Hampshire also made the short list.
:21:20. > :21:23.Meanwhile, Isle of Wight teenager Natasha Lambert is on the short list
:21:24. > :21:25.for Young Sailor of the Year, after her cross`Channel charity trip.
:21:26. > :21:27.Ringwood's Milo Gill Taylor is also nominated.
:21:28. > :21:30.Great Britain's top rowers are preparing to head north for their
:21:31. > :21:34.gruelling winter fitness trials, ahead of a busy 2014 season. This
:21:35. > :21:37.was the scene this morning in the freezing fog at the Redgrave`Pinsent
:21:38. > :21:40.Lake in Caversham, the base for the GB team. The whole squad will
:21:41. > :21:47.undergo testing in Lincolnshire at the weekend, rowing both against
:21:48. > :21:51.team`mates and against the clock. It is just a way of seeing how
:21:52. > :21:54.things are going. Realistically we will all is quiet there and see how
:21:55. > :21:59.we are travelling, how we are feeling, how we're going. It is when
:22:00. > :22:04.we go into peers, that is when it gets faster. Gruelling winter
:22:05. > :22:11.fitness trials, the least of my priority.
:22:12. > :22:14.For almost 200 years it has provided one of Dorset's stately homes with
:22:15. > :22:20.the historic link to the victor of the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. But
:22:21. > :22:24.then a cedar tree planted by the first YouGov Wellington on the
:22:25. > :22:28.grounds of Kingston Lacy is being felled. Lott has set into the tree
:22:29. > :22:31.and the National Trust says that the work that was begun today is sad but
:22:32. > :22:37.necessary. It is a view that has changed very
:22:38. > :22:45.little in 200 years, a view that the Duke of Wellington knew very well.
:22:46. > :22:50.William Banks honoured the iron Duke five planting a cedar tree on the
:22:51. > :22:55.grounds. A rule which was usually reserved for royalty. He had saved
:22:56. > :22:59.us from Napoleon, rescued Europe from the hell of republicanism. It
:23:00. > :23:03.is difficult to appreciate how deeply Wellington, like Nelson, was
:23:04. > :23:16.held in the highest esteem as a hero of England. Nearly two centuries on,
:23:17. > :23:23.Wellington's cedar stands tall. Today the Duke's tree and two others
:23:24. > :23:29.surrendered, at the hands of the team sent into felled these noble
:23:30. > :23:33.trees. You can see the problem, the cedar, which should be this pale
:23:34. > :23:36.colour, the dark area is diseased wood and the problem is that that
:23:37. > :23:41.will only spread and make the trees really unstable. Felling these fast
:23:42. > :23:48.trees in one goal would be too damaging for the parkland. Instead,
:23:49. > :23:52.the tree surgeons go slowly, branch by brand. Normally you would only do
:23:53. > :23:56.one or two big trees a week, you would mix it in with some smaller
:23:57. > :24:02.jobs on the domestic side of things. But obviously with this job, you are
:24:03. > :24:05.here until it is done. It is an honour to be at the top of those
:24:06. > :24:10.trees because the view is fantastic. It is a great shame that the trees
:24:11. > :24:15.have to come down, but they have had their time, unfortunately. Though
:24:16. > :24:21.this is the end for the Duke's cedar, the link will survive.
:24:22. > :24:36.Saplings taken from seeds will soon be planted.
:24:37. > :24:38.Onto the weather forecast now. Many people had to scrape their
:24:39. > :24:41.windscreens this morning, much colder than it has been of late. And
:24:42. > :24:46.foggy, which has caused major problems.
:24:47. > :24:53.And as you know, the air cools and water droplets form. One way to get
:24:54. > :25:03.rid of August increase the temperature, with freezing fog to
:25:04. > :25:06.day that did not happen. We did not have the dry air we expected from
:25:07. > :25:11.France. The third one is the wind increasing, the winds were very
:25:12. > :25:18.late, so it lingered for much of the day. Rob Kent captured the sun
:25:19. > :25:20.rising through the mist at Thorney Island this morning. Salisbury
:25:21. > :25:23.Cathedral was just visible through the fog from Old Sarum Airfield
:25:24. > :25:27.photographed by Cliff Sims. And the sun did come out today in some
:25:28. > :25:29.places, this is Barton on Sea by Joe McCarthy.
:25:30. > :25:31.The fog will make a return with a vengeance in some areas through the
:25:32. > :25:40.course of the night. Could be quite dense in a few
:25:41. > :25:45.places, pockets of frost is well in the clearing skies. Mist and fog
:25:46. > :25:54.feature of tonight's weather. Parts of Berkshire, eastern parts of
:25:55. > :25:58.Berkshire, Surrey, , `` west Sussex, Buckinghamshire. During the early
:25:59. > :26:06.hours we are expecting the winds to increase. That will help to lift the
:26:07. > :26:15.fog into will `` into low cloud and areas. Tomorrow morning the fog may
:26:16. > :26:19.linger first thing and the list will be slow to clear. Ltd brightness
:26:20. > :26:23.tomorrow, not as much sunshine as we saw a and the risk of the odd spot
:26:24. > :26:27.of rain for northern and western areas. Most places will stay dry but
:26:28. > :26:32.rarely warm temperatures for the time of year, highs of 10`11
:26:33. > :26:36.Celsius. That trees should help to shift the cloud and left the nest
:26:37. > :26:39.into low cloud. Tomorrow night we will have further cloud increasing
:26:40. > :26:43.and outbreaks of rain edging their way in from the west through the
:26:44. > :26:49.early hours of the morning. Some heavy burst with that rain, kept

:26:58. > :27:04.staying mild. You can see the weather front, some heavy bursts on

:27:08. > :27:11.living in from the west. There will be some drier periods in between
:27:12. > :27:22.those rain bands. The rains will increase as well . Perhaps 30 mph

:27:32. > :27:35.further rain on Sunday. Some more of that fog on the way, I
:27:36. > :27:40.would rather that it was crisp and dry. That is all from us.
:27:41. > :27:44.There will be in news summary at eight o'clock and a bulletin at
