industry. We are

:00:00.:00:11.

Good evening. Friends of a cancer patient who died on Boxing Day say

:00:12.:00:20.

he may have survived if an ambulance had arrived sooner. Ben Horne who

:00:21.:00:23.

lived in Surrey collapsed in Portsmouth. Two friends who found

:00:24.:00:26.

him called an ambulance and gave him first aid. But he died before

:00:27.:00:29.

paramedics turned up ` 22 minutes after they'd first called 999. Rob

:00:30.:00:34.

Powell reports. Ben Horne came to Portsmouth on Christmas Eve. He was

:00:35.:00:37.

being treated for colon cancer and wanted to spend Christmas with

:00:38.:00:40.

friends. Friends who on Boxing Day found him collapsed in his hotel

:00:41.:00:47.

room ` and called 999. After 20 minutes, his breathing stopped and I

:00:48.:00:53.

shouted to Richard to find out where the ambulance was. Richard called

:00:54.:00:57.

again and a paramedic arrived. But Ben had already died. South Central

:00:58.:01:00.

Ambulance Service says the call was initially categorised as amber ` as

:01:01.:01:04.

Ben was still breathing. It was only upgraded to red after the second

:01:05.:01:10.

call. The service says an ambulance arrived one minute after the second

:01:11.:01:14.

call and 22 minutes after the first. They added that Boxing Day was very

:01:15.:01:24.

easy and re`sources were given when they could. He could have been here

:01:25.:01:40.

sooner. I am upset, annoyed, angry. They should have been with him at

:01:41.:01:46.

that time. It is not a case of we might or might not have saved him,

:01:47.:01:58.

he was left. That is not fair. Five people have been arrested by police

:01:59.:02:01.

investigating the death of Joromie Lewis ` who died after drinking

:02:02.:02:04.

juice contaminated with cocaine. Joromie Lewis, who was 33, worked

:02:05.:02:07.

for an import company in Southampton. He took a sip from a

:02:08.:02:11.

bottle that was part of a consignment from the Caribbean. He

:02:12.:02:14.

became immediately ill and died soon after. Many of our big retail

:02:15.:02:23.

centres are reporting healthy business before and after Christmas

:02:24.:02:26.

with more people shopping than in the past two years. It seems the

:02:27.:02:29.

sales have been a big draw including at The Oracle in Reading where Joe

:02:30.:02:33.

Campbell reports for us. Outside the weather may have been grim but after

:02:34.:02:37.

a buffeting by the economic storm retailers here finally seem to be

:02:38.:02:40.

facing a better outlook. You bought as soon as you walked through the

:02:41.:02:44.

door, did you not? Yes. My Pandora charm. We thought we might as well

:02:45.:02:49.

get in there now, there are still bargains. Visitor numbers were up 2%

:02:50.:03:00.

on Friday compared to last year. Bournemouth's Castle Point, saw a 3%

:03:01.:03:04.

rise in footfall year on year for the start of its sales. Today has

:03:05.:03:10.

been fantastically busy. We had a record day for the year with over

:03:11.:03:16.

95,000 people. But a chill wind whistles through the more exposed

:03:17.:03:21.

parts of the retail sector. The big problem in the High Street is how

:03:22.:03:25.

many have been out to browse and then go home to buy. You do not even

:03:26.:03:32.

need to go home these days, with the increasing use of mobile phones like

:03:33.:03:36.

these. You can buy it there and then, but not from these stores. The

:03:37.:03:41.

internet casualties are there to see. But here too there's a new

:03:42.:03:45.

found optimism like this business opening up in a shop that's stood

:03:46.:03:48.

empty for two years. I think times are getting better now from what

:03:49.:03:55.

they were before. Especially in Reading, it did go quiet a few years

:03:56.:04:00.

ago, but there is a lot of development going on here. And such

:04:01.:04:07.

start`ups will be sweet news to those planning a route back to

:04:08.:04:13.

better times. A new system trialled on trains in Sussex could save rail

:04:14.:04:17.

companies money. Like combining a sat nav with an economy setting on a

:04:18.:04:20.

family car, the gadget advises drivers how much power to use to

:04:21.:04:24.

arrive on time more efficiently. As our Transport Correspondent Paul

:04:25.:04:26.

Clifton reports, it could also be used as a spy in the cab. Leaving

:04:27.:04:30.

London Bridge, heading south. Steve Bull is testing a new piece of kit.

:04:31.:04:39.

In the corner of the cab is the advisory system which tells how he

:04:40.:04:45.

should drive to reach the next station on time. It is a bit like a

:04:46.:04:54.

spy in the cab. It means the train company can compare drivers and see

:04:55.:05:00.

who drives most efficiently. The system is built in Germany with

:05:01.:05:05.

software from hungry and run by a company from Wiltshire. If you are

:05:06.:05:09.

looking at a train that would normally be on time, you can save in

:05:10.:05:16.

excess of 10% on fuel savings, and then you have to think about the

:05:17.:05:21.

carbon savings. First Great Western already has a similar system.

:05:22.:05:27.

Heading from Reading into London Paddington, this train is very late

:05:28.:05:37.

so the equipment is not working. It advises drivers about times for

:05:38.:05:40.

their journeys, that is what it comes down to. It saves costs on

:05:41.:05:47.

fuel and wear and tear on the train, and ensures we have the right

:05:48.:05:52.

passengers. On the way away here, it is still a new idea. If the

:05:53.:05:56.

projected energy saving is correct, it will pay for itself in two years.

:05:57.:06:02.

It was a full weekend for the south's football teams ` but not a

:06:03.:06:05.

particularly impressive bunch of results. Roger Finn has the round`up

:06:06.:06:08.

from the Premiership and the Championship. In the Premier League,

:06:09.:06:14.

Southampton went to Everton and fell behind after just nine minutes when

:06:15.:06:19.

Seamus Coleman fired a goal home. Late in the second half, Saints

:06:20.:06:25.

brought on as substitute and within a few minutes he produced a

:06:26.:06:28.

long`range shots which completely fooled the Everton keeper. But just

:06:29.:06:34.

three minutes later, Everton were back in front. The final score:

:06:35.:06:44.

Everton to, Southampton one. The manager believes things are going

:06:45.:06:50.

well. TRANSLATION: Yes, we are very happy with the progress the team

:06:51.:06:55.

have made. The way the team have changed since I took over, we have

:06:56.:06:57.

been here a year, they have progressed as we wanted them to.

:06:58.:07:05.

Reading lost their third consecutive game when they were beaten 3`0 at

:07:06.:07:11.

Middlesbrough. Nigel Adkins described the team's performance as

:07:12.:07:17.

not acceptable. Bournemouth earned a point at home to Ipswich. A goal was

:07:18.:07:26.

scored 16 minutes to time with the final result in 1`1. Let's see

:07:27.:07:33.

there's any respite from the wet and windy weather. Yes, I bit by breeder

:07:34.:07:38.

before the next spell of wet and windy weather arrives with us. This

:07:39.:07:42.

evening will be largely dry and we will have clear spells overhead. As

:07:43.:07:47.

the night goes on, the cloud will build and we may see some showers on

:07:48.:07:52.

the south coast. We will see some patchy outbreaks of rain tomorrow

:07:53.:07:55.

morning and temperatures will be four or five degrees. The band of

:07:56.:08:01.

rain will arrive tomorrow morning and whizzes through but it will

:08:02.:08:04.

bring some heavy downpours and strong, gusty winds. One or two

:08:05.:08:12.

showers possible but some good sunny spells and highs of ten or 11

:08:13.:08:18.

degrees. For your New Year's Eve celebrations, not looking too bad. A

:08:19.:08:20.

handful of showers but blustery conditions. Thank you very much,

:08:21.:08:27.

that is all from us, we are back later on. Goodbye.

:08:28.:08:39.

Another day off strong winds, heavy rain and flooding. At least things

:08:40.:08:45.

are quiet at the moment. The rain has cleared off and the wind is

:08:46.:08:50.

lighter. There might be some ice in Scotland, but through the night, the

:08:51.:08:56.

wind picks up, lifting temperatures, but more heavy rain pushing in. The

:08:57.:09:01.

rain band is not quite a significant us today, but it will leave surface

:09:02.:09:06.

water flooding. Some heavy bursts clearing Northern Ireland by first

:09:07.:09:12.

light. It reaches the east coast by the time we get to lunchtime, after

:09:13.:09:17.

a few morning showers. The wind is falling lighter, easing down from

:09:18.:09:22.

the gusty nature. A bit of sunshine through the afternoon. The

:09:23.:09:27.

temperature is a bit higher than they should be at this stage of the

:09:28.:09:28.
