:00:00. > :00:11.Hello, I'm Sally Taylor, welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme.
:00:12. > :00:16.Guilty, the gang which trafficked scores of women to the south for
:00:17. > :00:22.prostitution. It's hard to envisage how human beings could treat other
:00:23. > :00:28.human beings in such a callous and disrespectful way. Rebuilding the
:00:29. > :00:34.defences, the work to hold back the sea in Sussex. To live here is a
:00:35. > :00:38.dream come true that is turning into a nightmare. Ensuring Fovant's
:00:39. > :00:45.famous regimental badges are known to a new generation. And, to boldly
:00:46. > :00:58.go, thousands gather to look to the sky as Stargazing returns.
:00:59. > :01:03.An organised criminal gang, including a woman from the south,
:01:04. > :01:06.who trafficked scores of vulnerable Hungarian women into the country for
:01:07. > :01:12.sex has been found guilty at Hove Crown Court. The group installed the
:01:13. > :01:17.young women into brothels and hotels in Bournemouth, Southampton, Sussex
:01:18. > :01:20.and Kent. One was told she'd be killed if she didn't continue to
:01:21. > :01:28.work as a prostitute. Roger Finn reports. Victoria Brown from
:01:29. > :01:31.Brighton was the only British member of the five`strong gang. She was
:01:32. > :01:34.described in court as the logistical organiser of the operation. Her
:01:35. > :01:36.former partner and partner in crime, Mate Puskas, organised transport,
:01:37. > :01:42.hotels and clients, along with co`defendant Zoltan Mahaxi and
:01:43. > :01:45.brothers Peter and Istvan Toth. Today, all five were convicted of
:01:46. > :01:50.conspiracy to traffic women into the UK for sexual exploitation. Joanne
:01:51. > :01:55.Welsh helped support some of the victims. They were deceived and
:01:56. > :02:00.coerced by the gang and were left with the very little control over
:02:01. > :02:03.their daily lives. That's likely to have long`term psychological
:02:04. > :02:09.consequences `` consequences for which the women will need ongoing
:02:10. > :02:14.support. The Creating profiles for them on a UK contact website, the
:02:15. > :02:17.gang brought over at least 53 women. They came in via Gatwick Airport and
:02:18. > :02:21.were put to work at brothels and hotels right across the south. It's
:02:22. > :02:26.hard to envisage how human beings could treat other human beings in
:02:27. > :02:31.such a callous and disrespectful way. Essentially, it seems the gang
:02:32. > :02:38.had no thought what so ever for the women and just treated them as a way
:02:39. > :02:45.to get money and to have a satisfying lifestyle on the back of
:02:46. > :02:48.their misery. It was from here, in the desperate poverty of rural
:02:49. > :02:51.Hungary, that scores of women were recruited then trafficked to
:02:52. > :02:54.southern England. A BBC reporter tracked down one of the victims who
:02:55. > :03:05.has now returned to Budapest. How many men would you have to see? In
:03:06. > :03:09.one day, five. Leila is one of the many. She was advertised as fresh
:03:10. > :03:11.meat, flown to England with the understanding that she'd be working
:03:12. > :03:15.in a massage parlour. Instead, she says she was confined to hotel rooms
:03:16. > :03:18.in Brighton, Gatwick and across Kent. Effectively, kept as a sex
:03:19. > :03:26.slave. All the time I have to go to the shop. Maybe he said, "no"
:03:27. > :03:29.because come the client. Victoria Brown collected the money she earnt.
:03:30. > :03:33.Mate Puskas controlled and exploited her. You tried to leave England, he
:03:34. > :03:37.stopped you? Yes. He take my passport. How can I come? No chance
:03:38. > :03:43.to leave England without passport. He was also taking your money? Yes.
:03:44. > :03:46.Others trafficked from here were beaten, blackmailed, even threatened
:03:47. > :03:51.with death. It's claimed that some of the gang made ?20,000 a week.
:03:52. > :03:55.Leila says she's returned to college, but many like her continue
:03:56. > :03:59.to come to the UK, trafficked by criminals who exploit, control and
:04:00. > :04:02.degrade them for financial gain. But today some of those involved in this
:04:03. > :04:08.misery must now face the consequences. They'll be sentenced
:04:09. > :04:15.tomorrow and could face up to eight years in jail. Roger Finn for BBC
:04:16. > :04:21.South Today. Many parts of the south are affected by floodwaters despite
:04:22. > :04:26.far less rain today than in previous days. High winds and heavy seas
:04:27. > :04:28.battered parts of West Dorset this afternoon. Three severe flood
:04:29. > :04:33.warnings, including one here at Chiswell, have since been
:04:34. > :04:36.downgraded. Homes in Hampreston near Wimborne have been cut off by
:04:37. > :04:40.several feet of floodwater for more than a week. Pumps are struggling to
:04:41. > :04:45.remove heavy rains and run off from nearby fields. In Pagham, repair
:04:46. > :04:50.work got underway after the coastline was battered by the wind
:04:51. > :04:56.and rain at the weekend. Brand new ?600,000 sea defences were damaged,
:04:57. > :05:04.as Sarah Farmer reports. As day breaks teams work to repair the sea
:05:05. > :05:08.defences at Pagham. On Sunday, the beach was closed as a section of the
:05:09. > :05:14.shingles slipped into the water. The We are losing meters of beach at a
:05:15. > :05:19.time. You know, it, the rate it goes is staggering. We don't sleep at
:05:20. > :05:25.night. Especially when the tide is high. There are 3.3 million tonnes
:05:26. > :05:31.of water surging through this channel every day. The landscape is
:05:32. > :05:35.changing. This shingle behind me is moving closer, narrowing that
:05:36. > :05:39.channel, the water is really eating away at the bank. The Riverment is
:05:40. > :05:42.now in place protecting the properties to some extent,
:05:43. > :05:46.neighbours here are asking ` is it enough? Whatever is needed is not
:05:47. > :05:52.going to be just sticking plaster, it's going to be work that will
:05:53. > :05:56.last. It's not been allowed to be built properly because they'd run
:05:57. > :06:00.out of rocks from what the original plan was. It's not long enough
:06:01. > :06:06.either. That is why they have had to fill in here where there isn't any
:06:07. > :06:09.for the people. The council are working with the Environment Agency
:06:10. > :06:14.and other organisations to protect the area. They're not making any
:06:15. > :06:18.promises. I cannot give residents guarantees that we can protect these
:06:19. > :06:23.forever. At the same time, we will do our best to do what we can to
:06:24. > :06:30.protect house and home. Residents look to the future for a long`term
:06:31. > :06:34.solution, small mercies for now at least the homes are safe. The storms
:06:35. > :06:37.before and after Christmas would have taken the beach away if it
:06:38. > :06:46.wasn't for what they have done, our houses wouldn't be here now. We will
:06:47. > :06:51.have a detailed weather forecast later in the programme. A severe
:06:52. > :06:53.weather warning has been lifted at Iford on the
:06:54. > :06:56.Bournemouth`Christchurch border. River levels have fallen, but
:06:57. > :06:59.residents at the Iford Bridge Home Park, which first flooded on
:07:00. > :07:03.Christmas Day, are being advised not to move back for the time being.
:07:04. > :07:06.Homeowners were allowed onto the park to retrieve possessions this
:07:07. > :07:09.morning, but Bournemouth council says people should wait for the all
:07:10. > :07:14.clear before they return permanently. More rain forecast
:07:15. > :07:19.overnight means parts of Surrey are again on floodwatch. In preparation
:07:20. > :07:22.there have been moves to try and stop several rivers breaking their
:07:23. > :07:25.banks, including the River Wey in Guildford. Many businesses and shops
:07:26. > :07:27.there have still not reopened after being flooding over Christmas. Now,
:07:28. > :07:32.some state`of`the`art methods are being used to stop it happening
:07:33. > :07:36.again. Ben Moore reports. When the floodwaters are up, so are the
:07:37. > :07:41.defences in Guildford. This is the frontline in Surrey's defence
:07:42. > :07:45.against the River Wey. For the first time, temporary pop`up flood
:07:46. > :07:49.barriers are in place. These are tried and tested. They might look
:07:50. > :07:54.flimsy, they have been thoroughly tested. They are used in other parts
:07:55. > :07:57.of the country. In fact, these came down from East Anglia over the
:07:58. > :08:01.weekend. We have no concerns about the fact they will be able to deal
:08:02. > :08:05.with the situation. As well as the barriers, the Environment Agency is
:08:06. > :08:11.using one of its lesser spotted assets to monitor River levels. This
:08:12. > :08:19.unmanned drone boat is called the Arc. Underneath the Arc boat is a
:08:20. > :08:22.special censor that measures the philosophy of the floodwater passing
:08:23. > :08:26.under the boat. That allows the Environment Agency to know how full
:08:27. > :08:30.this river is. It's critical to the work that we are doing really to be
:08:31. > :08:35.able to improve our forecasts. It also enables us to design capacities
:08:36. > :08:38.of various different defences we might build in the nurture. The
:08:39. > :08:43.reason state`of`the`art flood defences have been used here is that
:08:44. > :08:46.stakes are high. This was Guildford High Street over Christmas. Despite
:08:47. > :08:53.their names, some businesses and shops are still not open, and trade
:08:54. > :09:00.is taking a hit. The fact that we need, once this is all over, to
:09:01. > :09:04.reexamining `` reexamine how flood warnings work and where we establish
:09:05. > :09:10.our own sensors on the bridges so we can take our own action and are not
:09:11. > :09:14.necessarily completely reliant on other agencies. Flood levels will
:09:15. > :09:16.peak on Thursday in Surrey. The defences are in place, it's hoped
:09:17. > :09:26.they will hold. Gatwick has been criticised by MPs
:09:27. > :09:29.this afternoon for the way it handled disruption caused by the bad
:09:30. > :09:33.weather. The airport cancelled more than 100 flights on Christmas Eve
:09:34. > :09:36.when flooding led to power cuts. Thousands of passengers were
:09:37. > :09:40.stranded and police had to be called in to maintain order. Our transport
:09:41. > :09:47.correspondent, Paul Clifton, is here. What have the MPs been saying?
:09:48. > :09:51.They have been asking why Gatwick cancelled the flights during heavy
:09:52. > :09:54.rain when the runway led open. That throwed flooding. You can see it
:09:55. > :09:58.beside that runway. That resulted in a loss ever power in the North
:09:59. > :10:03.Terminal. Many thousands of passengers could not check`in. The
:10:04. > :10:09.airport's boss was summoned by MPs on the House of Commons Transport
:10:10. > :10:12.Committee. He said "sorry." Passenger information and comfort
:10:13. > :10:14.must be a priority. I give an undertaking to the committee that
:10:15. > :10:18.the airport will make any further investment we need to make in this
:10:19. > :10:22.area. The there is never a good time for something like this to happen. I
:10:23. > :10:26.recognise Christmas Eve is probably the worst time. Passengers were
:10:27. > :10:32.stranded for most of the day. Thousands had to be put up in hotels
:10:33. > :10:38.for Christmas? Absolutely. We have pictures taken bypassen injuries of
:10:39. > :10:44.the chaos that resulted at the terminal. They had to bus all the
:10:45. > :10:49.passengers to their planes back at the North Terminal. They had four
:10:50. > :10:54.buses available for this. Ease easyJet alone had 11,000 passengers
:10:55. > :10:58.waiting with 32 planes ready to take off. After waiting all day,
:10:59. > :11:04.passengers were getting cross and the police were called in. The
:11:05. > :11:08.police asked all of our staff to vacate the North Terminal baggage
:11:09. > :11:11.reclaim because of the hostility and the public order consequence that is
:11:12. > :11:16.might prevail. That is why you wouldn't see any of our staff on
:11:17. > :11:19.customer service desks past 11.00pm in the evening. The police took our
:11:20. > :11:23.leaflets and literature, which is part and parcel of our performance
:11:24. > :11:28.in disruption, they did the distribution of that work. There was
:11:29. > :11:32.a similar flooding at a power sub station at Gatwick last October?
:11:33. > :11:45.Yes. On that occasion the impact was not quite so severe. The River Mold
:11:46. > :11:49.runs under the runway. . The M23 motorway was partly blocked. The
:11:50. > :11:54.airport wasn't alone in having significant problems. Gatwick is
:11:55. > :11:58.lobbying hard to build a second runway across the floodplain at the
:11:59. > :12:05.moment. This incident won't be a positive influence on that, will it?
:12:06. > :12:09.Paul, thank you very much. Still to come in this evening's South Today,
:12:10. > :12:12.Alex Dyke is looking to the skies The family of a Bournemouth man, who
:12:13. > :12:15.it's believed disappeared wearing no clothes, have appealed for him to
:12:16. > :12:18.come home. We are going stargazing. It's all very exciting. We will
:12:19. > :12:39.boldly go where no man has gone before ` as long as it's not too
:12:40. > :12:43.cloudy! The family of a Bournemouth man who it's believed disappeared
:12:44. > :12:48.wearing no clothes has appealed for him to come home. Aaron Fiveash, who
:12:49. > :12:51.is 36, went missing from his parents' house in Southbourne early
:12:52. > :12:55.yesterday morning. Police say he was in a confused state. Despite a land
:12:56. > :12:59.and air search, there have been no sightings of him. We need your help
:13:00. > :13:03.to find him. Thank you. House building is on the rise. Latest
:13:04. > :13:07.figures show that the UK construction industry grew by 2.2%
:13:08. > :13:10.last autumn. It's seen as a key indicator of economic growth. One of
:13:11. > :13:16.the reasons why is the number of jobs it creates. A study at Reading
:13:17. > :13:19.University concludes that for every home built, two people are employed.
:13:20. > :13:22.Our business correspondent, Alastair Fee, has been to Newbury to assess
:13:23. > :13:29.the impact of the town's racecourse development. It's among the most
:13:30. > :13:36.talked about new developments in the south. 1,500 homes surrounding
:13:37. > :13:40.Newbury's racetrack, each new build is also bringing with it employment.
:13:41. > :13:44.At reading University they have studied the impact of new homes, the
:13:45. > :13:50.conclusion that every new house creates two jobs for the duration of
:13:51. > :13:52.a year. The equation is much talked about and often`repeated by
:13:53. > :13:56.Government ministers keen to get the country building. Because of these
:13:57. > :14:02.extra jobs that stimulates demand and it helps us to grow and recover
:14:03. > :14:06.from the recession we've had. It is also important to remember it's not
:14:07. > :14:10.just the homes themselves, but the people who move into the homes that
:14:11. > :14:15.have good economic effects. Most of those people would be in employment.
:14:16. > :14:18.A lot of them will be in very skilled employment. It brings money
:14:19. > :14:23.into the local economy. It's not just direct jobs on site as many as
:14:24. > :14:27.two jobs are believed to be created in the supply chain. What is harder
:14:28. > :14:31.to establish is the lasting impact on the community. It's a difficult
:14:32. > :14:34.analysis to carry out. Instinctively, here at Newbury we
:14:35. > :14:38.know there could be 4,000 people living on this development. They
:14:39. > :14:42.will use all of the local facilities, the local shops, the
:14:43. > :14:49.local leisure facilities and thereby creating new jobs. It's difficult to
:14:50. > :14:54.quantify that. Officials figures say the project will create 1700
:14:55. > :14:59.full`time construction jobs and 55 apprenticeships. They believe the
:15:00. > :15:03.development will lead to 70 new retail and 110 leisure jobs. In the
:15:04. > :15:07.long`term what might happen is it will encourage employers to come
:15:08. > :15:10.into the area and then that is really what we're looking for as a
:15:11. > :15:16.business community, is sustainable growth and then that could have a
:15:17. > :15:21.real big impact on jobs in Newbury and West Berkshire area. It will
:15:22. > :15:25.take 10 years to complete the Newbury racecourse development. It's
:15:26. > :15:29.estimated 4,000 people will live there. To get the full economic
:15:30. > :15:31.benefit the town has to get them spending and working locally. . It
:15:32. > :15:44.mitt `` working locally. Police chiefs
:15:45. > :15:47.from two of the South's police forces have today denied crime
:15:48. > :15:50.figures are being "fiddled". The Chief Constables and PCCs of Sussex
:15:51. > :15:53.and Thames Valley have been giving evidence to the Home Affairs Select
:15:54. > :15:57.Committee. Both areas have recorded a reduction in crime in recent
:15:58. > :15:59.years, and they were challenged by MPs over whether officers are
:16:00. > :16:01.misreporting crimes to meet targets. I cannot operate effectively
:16:02. > :16:05.protecting the public, in terms Thamesle valley, unless I understand
:16:06. > :16:09.what crime is happening where. It's absolutely in my interests to make
:16:10. > :16:13.sure that crime is accurate `` accurate. It's an issue of public
:16:14. > :16:17.trust. We need the public to trust the police. To trust us to tell the
:16:18. > :16:23.truth in the witness box in court, to trust us to record crime
:16:24. > :16:26.accurately. A charity in Wiltshire has been awarded thousands of pounds
:16:27. > :16:29.from the Heritage Lottery Fund. The Fovant Badges Society maintains the
:16:30. > :16:32.regimental badges that were carved into the chalk downs above the
:16:33. > :16:37.village of Fovant by the soldiers of those regiments. Ena Miller has been
:16:38. > :16:45.finding out how the money will be spent.
:16:46. > :16:56.It was their duty to go to war. This is their legacy. We don't really
:16:57. > :17:00.know why they built those badges in the first place. Some of the
:17:01. > :17:05.soldiers that returned here, wounded, we actually believe they
:17:06. > :17:09.constructed the first damage in 1916, that they wanted to make a
:17:10. > :17:19.mark on the hillside to say, we were here. Or that we even existed. I
:17:20. > :17:24.live where these 20,000 soldiers where, so I'm part of the community
:17:25. > :17:31.that these soldiers lived in and, therefore, I feel it's important
:17:32. > :17:36.that keep those damages in a good condition `` badges in a good
:17:37. > :17:40.condition as a memorial to them. ?8,400 grant from the Heritage
:17:41. > :17:43.Lottery Fund will help the Fovant Badges Society put their paper
:17:44. > :17:51.archive on`line. It will create an education section for children in
:17:52. > :17:55.Wiltshire. Richard hopes it inspire children to see the damages for
:17:56. > :17:59.themselves. They are such physical things, I think, I hope, together
:18:00. > :18:05.with the knowledge they have, get some feeling why it's important to
:18:06. > :18:10.keep the badges on that hillside for future generations. They really are
:18:11. > :18:16.impressive from the air. Do you remember on Sally's Journey I saw
:18:17. > :18:20.them with that Tiger moth. Slightly better weather. That coming
