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. |
