:00:00. > :00:15.Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme:
:00:16. > :00:18.Constantly in pain ` a rise in the number of children treated for
:00:19. > :00:29.arthritis and doctors warn many more could be undiagnosed. She will keep
:00:30. > :00:34.going until the pain becomes too much and then she will get on her
:00:35. > :00:40.hands and knees. She has attempted to crawl across a car park before.
:00:41. > :00:43.Just seven minutes to view one the wonders of the world ` is the new
:00:44. > :00:47.Stonehenge visitors centre feeling the strain? Superslow delivery for
:00:48. > :00:53.superfast broadband ` the prize for a Hampshire village that still
:00:54. > :01:00.hasn't fully arrived. We were used as a PR exercise by BT to promote
:01:01. > :01:04.their service. And it hasn't been delivered. And a blast from the past
:01:05. > :01:15.` a forerunner of today's electric cars built on the Isle of Wight.
:01:16. > :01:20.There's been a three`fold increase in the number of very young children
:01:21. > :01:23.being treated for arthritis by specialists in the South. Although
:01:24. > :01:29.it's a disease normally associated with older people, as many as one
:01:30. > :01:32.child in every thousand will get it. 500 children in Hampshire and Dorset
:01:33. > :01:36.have been diagnosed, some as young as 12 months old. It causes
:01:37. > :01:39.crippling pain, and sometimes blindness. Southampton General
:01:40. > :01:46.Hospital has seen children's appointments jump to more than a
:01:47. > :01:49.thousand a year. Now there's a campaign to raise awareness ` not
:01:50. > :01:53.just among parents but GPs too. Here's our Health Correspondent,
:01:54. > :01:58.David Fenton. Bella needs massages every day, injections every week and
:01:59. > :02:04.pain killers to keep her walking. She's three years old and has
:02:05. > :02:10.arthritis. She will keep going until the pain becomes too much. And then
:02:11. > :02:13.she will get down on her hands and knees. She has crawled across,
:02:14. > :02:17.attempted to crawl across the car park before because she's not wanted
:02:18. > :02:27.to admit that she's in pain, but the pain is obvious.
:02:28. > :02:37.Last year Bella spoke about her illness for this hospital film.
:02:38. > :02:41.Despite struggling to walk with her badly swollen joints, it took
:02:42. > :02:45.doctors five months to dying know her condition. I felt we were just
:02:46. > :02:50.being pushed away. I was just being patted on the head and nodded at, I
:02:51. > :02:54.was a paranoid parent. I had one say to me they couldn't see anything
:02:55. > :02:58.wrong with her. It referring to it just being me, when I think her knee
:02:59. > :03:04.was double the size. It was obvious there was something going on.
:03:05. > :03:08.Bella's not alone, these children have arthritis too and they have
:03:09. > :03:17.used art to show what it's like. It basically means trying to deal with
:03:18. > :03:23.your joints. And I have it and you have to do injections and they
:03:24. > :03:27.really hurt. They're talking a lot about how much pain they're in.
:03:28. > :03:33.They're talking a lot was mentioned about what they cannot do. So there
:03:34. > :03:36.was many words written on the picture and they had big crosses
:03:37. > :03:41.through it. It emphasised how limited they can be with this
:03:42. > :03:44.disease. For children who are being treated, the prospects are good.
:03:45. > :04:04.Bella's now getting better and walking more than she has ever done.
:04:05. > :04:08.People surrounded by flood water in a village by the River Thames are
:04:09. > :04:11.calling for the government to review plans for a new gravel pit and
:04:12. > :04:14.landfill site, which they fear could make any future flooding worse.
:04:15. > :04:17.Proposals to extract more gravel from fields near Sonning have been
:04:18. > :04:19.approved. But the fields are currently covered in flood water.
:04:20. > :04:22.Nikki Mitchell reports. Gravel has been extracted here for decades.
:04:23. > :04:25.That is why there are so many lakes here. But the next phase is worrying
:04:26. > :04:30.people as the proposed site is currently under water. We bought our
:04:31. > :04:34.houses knowing the water would come around them and we don't have a
:04:35. > :04:38.problem with that. What we don't to see is it being made worse for
:04:39. > :04:44.somebody else's profit at our expense. If you take gravel and sand
:04:45. > :04:47.out, which drains water well, and replace it with something that
:04:48. > :04:54.doesn't, floods will increase. A lot of rubble from building sites is
:04:55. > :04:59.recycled. The material that can't would be buried here and the fields
:05:00. > :05:02.would be restored. Oxfordshire's planners approved the application,
:05:03. > :05:08.but want the Government to make sure they're not going against national
:05:09. > :05:15.regulations which suggested landfill should not be in a flood zone. There
:05:16. > :05:19.are assessments being done, but they're being done by different
:05:20. > :05:25.companies who have different results. I think this needs to go to
:05:26. > :05:30.the Secretary of State. The company said it acknowledged the concerns,
:05:31. > :05:34.but is confident the works will not increase the flood risk and the
:05:35. > :05:37.Environment Agency has reached the same conclusion. This will affect
:05:38. > :05:56.thousands o' of people. No one wants to see the area closed because of
:05:57. > :06:00.flooding any more than it is already. The recent storms have seen
:06:01. > :06:03.a dramatic increase in the amount of rubbish being washed up on the
:06:04. > :06:06.South's beaches. In Dorset around 100 volunteers have taken part in a
:06:07. > :06:10.major clear`up of Chesil beach ` after it was covered in debris
:06:11. > :06:13.including a dead cow. They're angry that the local council didn't act
:06:14. > :06:16.more quickly to clear`up the beach themselves. The actress Alexandra
:06:17. > :06:20.Bastedo, who lived in Chichester and was best known for her role in the
:06:21. > :06:23.TV sci`fi series the Champions, has died at the age of 67. She was also
:06:24. > :06:26.an animal rights campaigner and founded the ABC Animal Sanctuary
:06:27. > :06:29.near Pulborough. The charity announced that she died on Sunday
:06:30. > :06:33.afternoon after a long illness and said she will be sadly missed by
:06:34. > :06:45.those who knew her and worked with her. There have been problems at the
:06:46. > :07:13.new Stonehenge visitor centre. Around one in three comments is
:07:14. > :07:17.critical of Stonehenge. The road to Stonehenge ` up to 5,000 people a
:07:18. > :07:21.day head to the new visitor centre, which opened just before Christmas.
:07:22. > :07:28.The weekend result ` an overflowing car park and a very long wait to get
:07:29. > :07:36.in. The system here of transporting people to Stonehenge is extremely
:07:37. > :07:40.inefficient. It doesn't work. We spent about an hour here waiting
:07:41. > :07:44.back and forth and we spent exactly seven minutes out of an hour and
:07:45. > :07:49.half that we were here on site at Stonehenge. Visitors ride in
:07:50. > :07:55.trailers behind a Land Rover to reach the stones. But there aren't
:07:56. > :07:59.enough to meet demand. Buses have been hired to carry people the mile
:08:00. > :08:02.and a half to the stones. They share the road with people who prefer to
:08:03. > :08:05.walk. We will have more buses arriving to enhance and supplement
:08:06. > :08:10.the service that we are offering at the moment. On one busy day as the
:08:11. > :08:14.car park overflowed, English Heritage simply closed the gates,
:08:15. > :08:20.with traffic backing up on near by roads. It is appalling and you know
:08:21. > :08:27.it was foreseen by local people, but you know they didn't want to listen.
:08:28. > :08:30.There is no doubt the new visitor centre is an improvement on the
:08:31. > :08:34.outdated huts beside the stone circle, but these are more than
:08:35. > :08:37.teething troubles. English Heritage will have to get more people to the
:08:38. > :08:59.stones more quickly before the really big numbers of people arrive
:09:00. > :09:03.in spring. The citizens advice bureau said it is dealing with more
:09:04. > :09:06.people struggling with pay day loans. There are questions about
:09:07. > :09:19.whether new government regulations for lenders will curb the worst of
:09:20. > :09:22.the practices. People come to us, they come us to when they're in
:09:23. > :09:26.crisis. It's when those pay day loans have stacked up. They probably
:09:27. > :09:30.have more than a handful of pay day loans, they may ?6,000, ?10,000 on
:09:31. > :09:34.pay day loans at an interest rate of you know 1,000% and where are people
:09:35. > :09:38.going to get to the end of that? They can't. Inside Out will have the
:09:39. > :09:51.full story and we see people stranded by the swollen River
:09:52. > :09:55.Thames. The body of a man has been found in Fareham. A 41`year`old
:09:56. > :10:00.woman has been arrested in connection with the death. The house
:10:01. > :10:09.was cordoned off while a forensic examination took place. Still to
:10:10. > :10:16.come: Maybe it is an old wreck, but it has had its moment. And this
:10:17. > :10:28.battery`powered car designed on the Isle of Wight. It was decades ahead
:10:29. > :10:32.of its time. A shmpshire town that was promised superfast broadband
:10:33. > :10:38.three years ago says BT still hasn't got them all connected. The town won
:10:39. > :10:43.a competition called the race to infinity run by BT. Despite beating
:10:44. > :10:53.other towns, many people are still waiting for a fast internet
:10:54. > :10:56.connection. Outside Whitchurch, Paul runs a photography business and
:10:57. > :11:01.there is no shortage of work, but it is on the return from the job that
:11:02. > :11:07.his problems begin. He needs the internet, it is so slow the process
:11:08. > :11:14.can take hours. It is painfully slow, it is intermittment. We do our
:11:15. > :11:19.wedding alup withes `` albums on line and the speed sois that slow I
:11:20. > :11:24.have had to leave them uploading over night. The town should be an
:11:25. > :11:29.example for others. It entered and won a competition run by BT called
:11:30. > :11:33.the race for infinity. The prize ` superfast broadband for all. But the
:11:34. > :11:39.celebrations soon came to an end, three years on and that promise
:11:40. > :11:44.still hasn't arrived. Then the pub was the centre of the campaign. We
:11:45. > :11:51.were promised faster broadband for all the premises in the exchange
:11:52. > :11:58.area. It is awfully frustrated. We were used as a PR exercise by BT to
:11:59. > :12:03.promote their service and it hasn't been delivered. The roll out
:12:04. > :12:09.stalled, deadlines were missed and some estimate that 20% of homes and
:12:10. > :12:13.businesses are still in the internet slow lane. BT says the majority of
:12:14. > :12:18.homes do have access to superfast broadband and that these cabinets
:12:19. > :12:24.will soon have the whole town connected and it will investigate
:12:25. > :12:28.any issues and said it will meet with residents in the coming weeks.
:12:29. > :12:33.Online speed tests confirmed just how bad the service for some still
:12:34. > :12:39.is. Connections can be as low as one or two megabits per second. In
:12:40. > :13:08.theory a Superfast package would be up to 70. Until that is available,
:13:09. > :13:12.the frustrations will continue. The most senior officer at the Isle of
:13:13. > :13:15.Wight council is set to have his pay cut by more than ?10,000. The
:13:16. > :13:18.authority has already scrapped the role of Chief Executive and other
:13:19. > :13:21.changes to senior management and services are planned in the drive to
:13:22. > :13:25.save money. Funding cuts isn't the only major issue the council is
:13:26. > :13:28.having to deal with. Laura Trant reports. In times of austerity it no
:13:29. > :13:31.surprise the Isle of Wight Council is making savings. But it's the
:13:32. > :13:35.Managing Director who will be next in line to tighten his belt. Dave
:13:36. > :13:39.Burbege has taken on extra duties and faces a pay cut of more than
:13:40. > :13:41.?12,000 from his ?123,000 salary. If our MD can bring his salary down
:13:42. > :13:48.below 100,000, then so can others and they can move forward. The
:13:49. > :13:54.council has a large budget gap and proposed areas of saving are cutting
:13:55. > :14:00.down on senior managers and removing free car parking and reducing
:14:01. > :14:03.residential care for older people. The council has another pressing
:14:04. > :14:06.problem ` the Island's schools. With some of the lowest GCSE results and
:14:07. > :14:09.the worst level of secondary school pupil absences in the country,
:14:10. > :14:14.Hampshire County council has been brought in to run Children's
:14:15. > :14:17.Services. A council report describes its schools as in a "parlous state"
:14:18. > :14:19.Children's outcomes were temporarily damaged by the recent schools
:14:20. > :14:21.reorganisation Schools felt abandoned because of council
:14:22. > :14:24.failings And an infusion of people is needed to energise the system,
:14:25. > :14:37.along with stringent improvement targets. My nephew has started
:14:38. > :14:42.school and is coming along well. But it does worry you. It is my
:14:43. > :14:46.grandchildren now, but I'm as concerned for them as I was for my
:14:47. > :14:55.own. And very poor. My daughter goes to one that is classed as good. But
:14:56. > :15:00.the secondary school, if I was to choose one, I would struggle. Today
:15:01. > :15:03.the council's employment committee recommended to approve the managing
:15:04. > :15:06.Director's pay cut. It's expected that ` along with numerous other
:15:07. > :15:26.cuts will be rubber stamped in February. Recents fear that floods
:15:27. > :15:31.could result in additional homes in their area. The area which is less
:15:32. > :15:35.prone to flooding is already being targeted by visitors. Our
:15:36. > :15:41.correspondent is at a public meeting there. Ress dents angry at this idea
:15:42. > :15:47.aren't they? `` residents. Yes, hundreds are expected here for a
:15:48. > :15:52.parish council meeting to here Llan plans for `` ` plans for 600 new
:15:53. > :16:06.homes. They fear a decision could result in many hundreds more. Arun
:16:07. > :16:10.district council last week agreed 580 new homes will be built in the
:16:11. > :16:14.district in the next 15 years. It was originally proposed 1,000 would
:16:15. > :16:16.be built on the West Bank of Arun at Littlehampton and 2,000 other would
:16:17. > :16:19.go. But recent flooding of those areas caused councillors to rethink
:16:20. > :16:22.the precise allocation. That's caused anxiety in the areas where
:16:23. > :16:29.there is less of a flood risk. They're worried their quota could
:16:30. > :16:33.now be increased. There is a fear that that might very well happen,
:16:34. > :16:37.yes. Where are the houses that were going to be built in the flooded
:16:38. > :16:39.area now going to be built? And we may well find ourselves
:16:40. > :16:46.disadvantaged in that respect. Tonight developers will be outlining
:16:47. > :16:48.plans for 600 new homes. Residents fear added pressure on
:16:49. > :16:51.infrastructure specially roads, but the council says development can
:16:52. > :16:55.bring benefits too. We are looking to see how we can use new
:16:56. > :16:58.development which we have to provide for to help deliver some of those
:16:59. > :17:01.improvements that people would like to see. The existing bypass was
:17:02. > :17:10.actually funded by development itself. So there is a good example
:17:11. > :17:14.of what can be achieved. Well the developers who will make the
:17:15. > :17:19.presentation here say their plan will bring benefits, including jobs,
:17:20. > :17:24.open spaces and infrastructure. The meeting starts in the next hour and
:17:25. > :17:31.I will report on it in our programme at 10.30 tonight. Thank you. And now
:17:32. > :17:39.sport and Tony is here and we start with boxing and great success. Yes
:17:40. > :17:49.Ebony Jones is off to Serbia for another event and got another gold
:17:50. > :17:53.medal. She is a star to watch for the future. Jones is celebrating
:17:54. > :17:56.more international success in the ring. The teenager from Heart of
:17:57. > :17:59.Portsmouth boxing club won gold at the European Nations Cup, beating an
:18:00. > :18:02.opponent from Russia in the final. It's Ebonie's latest success after a
:18:03. > :18:05.gold at the European championships last year and a bronze medal at the
:18:06. > :18:08.world championships. Southampton fans saw more speculation about
:18:09. > :18:11.their left back Luke Shaw in the Sunday papers yesterday, one report
:18:12. > :18:15.said Manchester City were bidding ?30 million for him. Last week a
:18:16. > :18:17.source told me Shaw was highly unlikely to go anywhere anytime
:18:18. > :18:23.soon. Another Saints star Adam Lallana got the winner against West
:18:24. > :18:26.Brom on Saturday. Adam Lallana scoring the only goal and handing
:18:27. > :18:34.his mum a very public happy birthday greeting. Onto the football league
:18:35. > :18:43.action and we start with Portsmouth's trip to Oxford.
:18:44. > :18:48.Enjoying your time? Ritchie Barker would be enjoying it more if they
:18:49. > :18:55.could get more victories. Pompey kept a clean sheet, but they're just
:18:56. > :19:03.one point above the Football League trap door. Chances at a premium. At
:19:04. > :19:07.It is at times not our job to entertain other people's fans, but
:19:08. > :19:13.to grind out results and become more difficult to beat and do the right
:19:14. > :19:19.things. Nigel Atkins kept smiling even with Reading's season
:19:20. > :19:26.threatening to unravel. But they're back after beating Watford. They
:19:27. > :19:33.have made a bid for Hull's Jack Hobbs. A fig FA cup tie was in the
:19:34. > :19:40.players mind at Wigan, Bournemouth undone by the cup holders. The boss
:19:41. > :19:48.said it was an un`Bournemouth like display. The second goal Fortune
:19:49. > :19:55.didn't get hold of his shot and Ward helped it in. And there was nothing
:19:56. > :19:57.the keeper could go about Gomez's third. Several local sailors
:19:58. > :20:02.featured prominently amongst the podium finishers at the pre`Olympic
:20:03. > :20:05.regatta in Rio's Guanabara Bay. Lee`on`Solent's Alain Sign and Dylan
:20:06. > :20:07.Fletcher took gold in the 49er class, their victory came after
:20:08. > :20:10.complaints from several sailors about the unhygienic water
:20:11. > :20:17.conditions, and debris in the bay leading to problems in races. Giles
:20:18. > :20:20.Scott won in the Finn. And Lymington's Nick Thompson took
:20:21. > :20:23.silver in the laser. Aldershot Farnham and District runner Emilia
:20:24. > :20:26.Gorecka made a terrific debut to her senior cross country career on
:20:27. > :20:31.Saturday at the Great Edinburgh Run event. The 19`year`old finished
:20:32. > :20:35.third in the women's 6 kilometre run, she had held second placed for
:20:36. > :20:39.much of the event before her legs tired near the finish. Charlotte
:20:40. > :20:46.Purdue was 5th. In the men's 8 kilometre race Andy Vernon from
:20:47. > :20:51.Fareham was second. Well done to them and not bad weather up there.
:20:52. > :21:01.Where was that bay? I think we will be saying it a lot. Better get used
:21:02. > :21:04.to that. Did you know that cars were once manufactured on the Isle of
:21:05. > :21:08.Wight. Forty years ago, the concept of a small, battery powered city car
:21:09. > :21:11.was revolutionary. The car passed its safety tests with flying
:21:12. > :21:14.colours, but after four years the business collapsed. In the first of
:21:15. > :21:16.three reports about the south's forgotten car makers, our Transport
:21:17. > :21:23.Correspondent Paul Clifton looks at a car that was ahead of its time.
:21:24. > :21:27.The electric Enfield 8000. If you've not heard of it before, don't worry.
:21:28. > :21:40.Most people haven't. Even on the Isle of Wight, where it was designed
:21:41. > :21:43.and built. But in the 1970s it featured on the children's programme
:21:44. > :21:51.Blue Peter. Cars like this may be the answer to towns and cities of
:21:52. > :21:58.future. It's given me many years of service. Today Barry owns three of
:21:59. > :22:02.them. Why do you keep three of these cars? Because I love them. When I
:22:03. > :22:07.was in the town I had a lead coming through the window to the back of
:22:08. > :22:13.it. To plug it in and go? Yes. It has done less than 6,000 miles?
:22:14. > :22:20.Kilometres. Oh, it iskph teshgs it hasn't been very far? No. A team of
:22:21. > :22:26.12 people made the car in this old hangar that once stood beside Cowes
:22:27. > :22:33.airport. The electricity council ordered 60 cars, which had a top
:22:34. > :22:39.speed of 48mph. The Queen Mother tried one. Well... Hidden at the
:22:40. > :22:45.back of Barry's garage is one of the early models. Well! My goodness. A
:22:46. > :22:51.blast from the past. John designed and built it. It was very
:22:52. > :22:57.aerodynamic, which was important. And the whole formula, the whole
:22:58. > :23:02.concept was very advanced, as you might say. The first five cars were
:23:03. > :23:07.built on the island. After a strike by the workers, production was moved
:23:08. > :23:14.to a Greek island and the cars were shipped back to Cowes forfeiting
:23:15. > :23:22.out. But this car had the similar problems as today's electric cars.
:23:23. > :23:27.It cost twice as much as a mini and its range was less than 60 miles.
:23:28. > :23:35.Just over a hundred cars were built and a handful remain. This one has
:23:36. > :23:41.seen better days. They also made this car, a luxury saloon. Only one
:23:42. > :23:48.was built. Barry owns this one too. When you left this project, what
:23:49. > :23:54.else did you do? I became a deck chair attendant! And then? Well, one
:23:55. > :24:01.day I was on the deck chair, yes yes, any way, I designed Fuss 2,
:24:02. > :24:09.which brought the world land speed record back to Britain. John's
:24:10. > :24:15.design reached 650mph. But the Enfield 8,000 was way ahead of its
:24:16. > :24:23.time, paving the way for today's electric city cars. A great looking
:24:24. > :24:27.car. Tomorrow we are are going to look at what was called the scout
:24:28. > :24:35.car. You might know about that. It was before the First World War and
:24:36. > :24:41.made in Salisbury. Paul is loving this series. On to the weather. What
:24:42. > :24:43.is it looking like? Well it is unsettled, some rain, was some
:24:44. > :25:00.sunshine as well and ice. Raymond's dog is getting ready for
:25:01. > :25:05.the next bout of rain. Alan took this photograph of tufted ducks on
:25:06. > :25:11.the lake. We had some beefy showers today and tonight further showers
:25:12. > :25:15.associated with that, some quite gusty wind and even some thunder and
:25:16. > :25:22.hail. Once the showers disappear, there the risk of ice on untreated
:25:23. > :25:27.surfaces. So the showers could be heavy and thundery, pushing in from
:25:28. > :25:34.the South West. Moving east. Eastern areas holding on to the ground and
:25:35. > :25:41.`` cloud and rain. And there is a Met Office yellow warning in force
:25:42. > :25:44.for icy stretches on untreated roads. Temperatures tonight down to
:25:45. > :25:48.two Celsius in towns and city, but down to freezing in the countryside.
:25:49. > :25:54.So there may be a frost first thing in parts of Dorset and ice with mist
:25:55. > :25:57.and fog patches. The mist and fog patches may struggle to lift during
:25:58. > :26:03.the morning. But they will clear, as will the rain in the east and the
:26:04. > :26:07.cloud and we will see some sunny spells developing. In fact a pretty
:26:08. > :26:10.decent day, probably the best day of the working week with temperatures
:26:11. > :26:15.up to five to eight Celsius. The winds light tomorrow as well.
:26:16. > :26:20.Tomorrow night we see further rain. Not amounting to much. Patchy rain
:26:21. > :26:24.and maybe some hill fog as well, with taechltds `` temperatures down
:26:25. > :26:27.to three to eight Celsius. The winds pick up speed on Wednesday and that
:26:28. > :26:38.is due to a weather front pushing in from the west. A gusty wind is
:26:39. > :26:44.expected with wind gust of 30 to 40mph. Inland up to 20mph. The rain
:26:45. > :26:48.band lingering for much of the day on Wednesday and clearing overnight
:26:49. > :26:51.into Thursday. So it will be a soggy and windy day on Wednesday. Here is
:26:52. > :26:55.your outlook for the rest of the week. A lot of sunshine tomorrow
:26:56. > :26:59.after a damp start in the east and an improving picture and on
:27:00. > :27:04.Wednesday we see a lot of rain and strong winds. Further showers, could
:27:05. > :27:13.be thundery for Thursday and fry. `` Friday. Thank you. More at 8 and 10.
:27:14. > :27:22.25. Tomorrow in sport. A big FA Cup tie, because the winners play
:27:23. > :27:24.Liverpool, born mouth play Burton. Join us tomorrow. Good night.
