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