:00:00. > :00:18.Hello. Tonight: The coach hire business which has gone bust owing

:00:19. > :00:22.hundreds of thousands of pounds. Southampton loses out to Liverpool

:00:23. > :00:28.over European funding for a cruise terminal. Worthing council does a

:00:29. > :00:34.deal to get out of the contract with NCP but for how much? I would always

:00:35. > :00:40.say that I would not accept this. It should be in the public domain.

:00:41. > :00:48.Saints introduced their new chairman fresh from Olympic success. I would

:00:49. > :01:00.give a freshness and we will freeze the pitch. No!

:01:01. > :01:04.A major travel broker in the south has gone bust owing almost ?700,000

:01:05. > :01:07.to coach operators. The Berkshire`based Momentum Coach Hire

:01:08. > :01:11.Limited ran a broker website which allowed customers to book travel

:01:12. > :01:14.online with other coach operators. A number of these operators were not

:01:15. > :01:18.paid for the coaches they provided and say they have been left with

:01:19. > :01:24.debts. Rob Powell has been to meet one of those firms affected by the

:01:25. > :01:28.collapse. I have come to an industrial estate

:01:29. > :01:32.to meet a coach operator who Socchi is owed thousands of pounds for

:01:33. > :01:39.journeys she sent vehicles on but was never paid for. I know I am not

:01:40. > :01:42.going to get any money. Business going forward is very difficult at

:01:43. > :01:50.the moment but we are all working to try and go forward. It is just a

:01:51. > :01:55.very big struggle. This operator say the coach company ran up the debt.

:01:56. > :02:00.Momentum would take online bookings and pay the coach operators to

:02:01. > :02:07.provide the vehicles. In January, the firm went past `` bust. They

:02:08. > :02:13.owed almost ?70,000 to coach operators, none of whom will be

:02:14. > :02:17.repaid. Momentum's website is taking bookings because soon after going

:02:18. > :02:22.into administration, another firm bought up all of its ongoing

:02:23. > :02:25.business and took control of the website. Andrew Riley who was a

:02:26. > :02:33.direct of this company was also I `` a direct of the company. I feel very

:02:34. > :02:39.bad that they are carrying on business as usual. The former

:02:40. > :03:02.director told the BBC he regrets any company lost money. He said:

:03:03. > :03:09.Mr Reilly also said customers will be unaffected going forward and that

:03:10. > :03:14.all bookings and deposits will be honoured. The Southhampton charity

:03:15. > :03:20.which works in areas of social deprivation says it has been left

:03:21. > :03:24.?3000 out of pocket. They say a coach cancellation last year forced

:03:25. > :03:30.them to call off a recount `` weekend long hike for a group of

:03:31. > :03:34.students. It was something I was looking forward to an something I

:03:35. > :03:39.could put on my CV. I have been on lots of trips and there has never

:03:40. > :03:45.been an issue before. I didn't believe it at first. It was

:03:46. > :03:51.devastating. It was an opportunity for me to change myself into who I

:03:52. > :03:54.wanted to be. Trading Standards confirmed they had been looking into

:03:55. > :03:58.the company that had to stop its investigation after the firm and

:03:59. > :04:04.demonstration. Horizon says is towards compensation. They said they

:04:05. > :04:11.would give us a refund. We asked for the expenses that they incurred

:04:12. > :04:16.expenses that we received because of the cancellation. We heard nothing

:04:17. > :04:18.from them. Andrew Riley says the coach wasn't available because her

:04:19. > :04:26.rise and didn't pay for the booking soon enough. He has offered a refund

:04:27. > :04:29.of their booking fee but disputes any further compensation is owed.

:04:30. > :04:33.The mother of a terminally ill man who died at home in Hampshire has

:04:34. > :04:36.been telling an inquest about the night of his death. Matt Simmonds,

:04:37. > :04:40.who was 39 and from Chandler's Ford, relied on a ventilator to breathe.

:04:41. > :04:43.The inquest has already heard evidence from a pathologist that he

:04:44. > :04:54.died because his artificial ventilation was interrupted. Briony

:04:55. > :05:00.Leyland was in court. The inquest heard Matt Simmons had a rare

:05:01. > :05:04.genetic disorder. He had been ill since the age of 14. In between

:05:05. > :05:09.operations come he had been able to lead a normal life but by 2011, his

:05:10. > :05:14.health had declined and he was unable to walk or talk and needed a

:05:15. > :05:17.ventilator to breathe. He spent several months at Southampton

:05:18. > :05:22.General Hospital. His mother told the court he wanted to spend his

:05:23. > :05:25.last days and weeks at the family home in Chandlers Ford because they

:05:26. > :05:31.all knew he didn't have much time left. She said on the day he was

:05:32. > :05:35.discharged, she was thrilled to have him home and was looking forward to

:05:36. > :05:38.having some quality time with him. He died later that same day. The

:05:39. > :05:44.nurse who had been looking after him jump on the day said in the evening

:05:45. > :05:49.she changed over his ventilator to another one with the help of the

:05:50. > :05:54.night nurse she said once they had done it, she saw his chest rising

:05:55. > :05:59.and falling and later she went home. Asks if she accepted his death had

:06:00. > :06:07.been precipitated by no ventilation, she said, "I accepted but I don't

:06:08. > :06:10.understand how." His mother said she felt his stillness and passed her

:06:11. > :06:14.hand over the tube that comes from the ventilator and felt nothing

:06:15. > :06:20.coming from it. She called out for the night nurse who felt for a post.

:06:21. > :06:24.She said a nurse stood by the right`hand side of the bed.

:06:25. > :06:29.Something clicked and air started coming through. She said she

:06:30. > :06:32.accepted her son had passed away but asks if she was able to say

:06:33. > :06:48.goodbye, she said, not really, it happens of May.

:06:49. > :06:53.There's been a call in the Commons for more defibrillators in school. A

:06:54. > :06:56.Romsey teenager owes his life to the device after he collapsed at the

:06:57. > :07:00.Mountbatten School last Thursday. His local MP Caroline Nokes raised

:07:01. > :07:03.his case in front of Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg today, at Prime

:07:04. > :07:10.Minister's Question Time. Last Thursday, a pupil collapsed. The

:07:11. > :07:14.only reason why he is alive is because they had a defibrillator.

:07:15. > :07:19.What will you do to encourage more schools have more different

:07:20. > :07:22.narrators? The port of Southampton has lost its

:07:23. > :07:25.fight with Liverpool over European funding for a Merseyside cruise

:07:26. > :07:28.terminal. The south coast port had protested that using public money to

:07:29. > :07:34.build a rival amounted to unfair competition. Our Transport

:07:35. > :07:40.Correspondent Paul Clifton is here. At the end of a long`running battle,

:07:41. > :07:48.Southampton has lost out? Southampton is the overwhelmingly

:07:49. > :07:51.dominant cruise port in Britain. In fact it's the busiest in Europe.

:07:52. > :07:55.Seven years ago, Liverpool opened a small rival but only for day visits.

:07:56. > :07:57.It was built with public money, whereas Southampton is commercially

:07:58. > :08:00.funded. Liverpool later decided to use that for more lucrative

:08:01. > :08:03.turnaround calls, where passengers leave and join a ship. Southampton

:08:04. > :08:06.and other ports objected. They said it was unfair use of public money.

:08:07. > :08:09.European Commission officials have now ruled that the public funding

:08:10. > :08:15.granted to Liverpool is in line with state aid rules. Meanwhile Liverpool

:08:16. > :08:18.Council has agreed to pay back most of a ?9 million UK Government grant,

:08:19. > :08:23.because that was deemed to breach rules. Today, predictably, Liverpool

:08:24. > :08:34.council was delighted and Southampton council thought it was

:08:35. > :08:37.the wrong decision. I am really glad about the court hearing. We don't

:08:38. > :08:41.see it as a battle with Southampton. We feel there is enough

:08:42. > :08:44.in the cruise industry to benefit both cities but we are extremely

:08:45. > :08:51.delighted with the result we have had. We don't think it is fair in

:08:52. > :08:56.Southhampton. The cruise terminal is entirely built on private money and

:08:57. > :08:59.that should be the case for all competing cruise terminals in the

:09:00. > :09:04.UK. What has the European Commission actually said? In its ruling, it

:09:05. > :09:07.decided: The use of the infrastructure would be insufficient

:09:08. > :09:19.to cover the investment costs over a period of 20 years.

:09:20. > :09:29.Why was Southampton so keen to fight this? In cruising terms Liverpool is

:09:30. > :09:33.a minnow. It has 46 cruise calls this year, Southampton has several

:09:34. > :09:40.hundred. It really isn't a threat. But it could be. Southampton is now

:09:41. > :09:46.home to Cunard. But Cunard was a Liverpool company. Next year it will

:09:47. > :09:52.run its first voyage from New York to Liverpool since the 1960s. You

:09:53. > :09:54.can see the commercial attraction. Americans re`tracing the route of

:09:55. > :09:58.their forefathers, the Beatles heritage and so on. Southampton

:09:59. > :10:02.fought this hard, and Southampton lost. But one of the city's MPs,

:10:03. > :10:06.John Denham, said he would consider appealing against the ruling.

:10:07. > :10:18.Still to come in this evening's South Today ` Tony is keeping cool

:10:19. > :10:24.on a day dominated by ice. We will be previewing Basingstoke Bison's

:10:25. > :10:27.final tonight. We will also be hearing from the new chairman of

:10:28. > :10:32.Southampton football club and he knows a little bit about ice hockey

:10:33. > :10:39.or so. `` also. Sussex Police are to start

:10:40. > :10:42.using a controversial unmanned drone. The ?35,000 helicopters will

:10:43. > :10:45.be used in an initial trial in and around Gatwick Airport, the force

:10:46. > :10:48.saying they will help make the county even safer. But civil

:10:49. > :10:51.liberties groups are deeply concerned, worried that the flying

:10:52. > :10:54.video cameras could be used to record and spy on people with one MP

:10:55. > :11:01.branding them sinister and questioning whether they will be

:11:02. > :11:06.safe. They will be gathering film footage and it can be used to ensure

:11:07. > :11:12.any unforeseen activity that goes on and can be monitored. It can be used

:11:13. > :11:15.where the safety of offices is paramount when you can't necessarily

:11:16. > :11:19.deploy police officers. You can check from the air. A senior

:11:20. > :11:22.Worthing Borough Councillor has resigned in protest and asked the

:11:23. > :11:25.police to investigate the handling of the termination of a contract

:11:26. > :11:28.between the council and car park firm NCP. It's believed the council

:11:29. > :11:32.has paid hundreds of thousands of pounds compensation to the car park

:11:33. > :11:36.provider but the two sides have signed an agreement keeping details

:11:37. > :11:47.of the settlement confidential. Sean Killick reports. For the past ten

:11:48. > :11:54.years, NCP has run council car parks. In 2009, a pilot scheme was

:11:55. > :12:00.agreed to reduce parking charges with the Council underwriting NCP's

:12:01. > :12:04.last `` lost income. Now it is not being renewed and there is a battle

:12:05. > :12:10.over how much compensation NCP is due for its losses during the pilot

:12:11. > :12:15.scheme. NCP sued the Council for ?1 million that is before a High Court

:12:16. > :12:18.hearing, the two sides reached an out`of`court settlement believed to

:12:19. > :12:24.be for around ?700,000 but neither party would confirm that sum. They

:12:25. > :12:27.issued a joint statement saying that it was an amicable settlement and

:12:28. > :12:34.that both sides agreed it would remain confidential. That outraged

:12:35. > :12:39.Council cabinet member, Tom, who has resigned from the council in

:12:40. > :12:46.protest. I always said I would not accept a gagging order on this. Why

:12:47. > :12:56.is the money going to NCP? It should be in the public domain. I resigned.

:12:57. > :13:01.Today, there was mixed reaction. I guess the compensation should be

:13:02. > :13:06.paid but as a taxpayer, it is not very good. I agree with him making a

:13:07. > :13:13.stand on principle and resigning. Worthing council should tell us why

:13:14. > :13:14.they have put that amount of money. In a statement, the force told South

:13:15. > :13:34.today: Meanwhile, from April one, charges

:13:35. > :13:38.in the multistorey car parks involved would drop from ?1 70 an

:13:39. > :13:42.hour to ?1 an hour. From a parking row in Sussex to a

:13:43. > :13:46.much happier car parking story along the coast in Dorset. If you've

:13:47. > :13:48.driven into Bournemouth recently, you'll have noticed the

:13:49. > :13:52.multi`coloured building taking shape on the Wessex Way. Decked out in

:13:53. > :13:56.sunshine colours you may be forgiven for thinking it's a piece of art,

:13:57. > :13:58.it's actually a new car park. And it marks the start of

:13:59. > :14:01.multi`million`pound plans to give the resort an economic boost. Chris

:14:02. > :14:13.Robinson reports. The opening of a multistorey car

:14:14. > :14:19.park isn't headline grabbing news. It looks rather boring but when you

:14:20. > :14:28.come outside, its colours are warm and inviting and it has got people

:14:29. > :14:33.talking. It as a vision interest. A lot of car parks are dull and

:14:34. > :14:39.boring. It could cause accidents if people are looking. It might be

:14:40. > :14:49.something to think about. I like it having some, `` some colour. This is

:14:50. > :14:55.the view on the busy Wessex way. The panels offer a ray of light all year

:14:56. > :15:01.round. The car park is in the first completed stage of a ?40 million

:15:02. > :15:05.regeneration stage of the town. Bournemouth is open for business. It

:15:06. > :15:11.is colourful but I don't think that is a bad thing. Car parks need to be

:15:12. > :15:22.something a bit different so we actually attract more people to ask

:15:23. > :15:26.what development is. Opposite our student flats. The new residents

:15:27. > :15:33.move in this autumn. Down the road is more homes. 14 sites are

:15:34. > :15:36.earmarked for development across the town as well as private hotel and

:15:37. > :15:44.leisure developments closer to the seafront. This car park stands out.

:15:45. > :15:48.It sends a great message. It is a bright beacon of development

:15:49. > :15:58.activity. The car park opens to the public from Monday.

:15:59. > :16:06.On to sport and a big night for isotopic `` ice hockey in Hampshire.

:16:07. > :16:10.Basingstoke Bison are hoping to end a long run without silverware in the

:16:11. > :16:14.second leg of the Premier League Cup. And ice hockey is a bit of a

:16:15. > :16:20.theme of Tony's sports spot tonight he's live at Planet ice in

:16:21. > :16:25.Basingstoke. It is the second leg of the Premier League final. Navy ``

:16:26. > :16:30.Basingstoke have a lead. They are getting the ice ready. This machine

:16:31. > :16:35.smooths the ice. Look how fast that is going to be tonight when the

:16:36. > :16:41.teams get out there on to the rink. More on the ice hockey in a moment.

:16:42. > :16:44.It has been an ice hockey Day because I have been to meet a man

:16:45. > :16:59.whose life has been all about ice hockey. Ralph Krueger has just

:17:00. > :17:03.really `` returned from the Olympics and he is now a public face to the

:17:04. > :17:15.Southampton regime. I went to see him earlier. I will bring a

:17:16. > :17:22.freshness and we will freeze the pitch. What I bring is experience in

:17:23. > :17:31.the sports world and an understanding of what they need. I

:17:32. > :17:34.will not in anyway take responsibility or be involved or get

:17:35. > :17:41.in the way. I to create an environment where everybody can

:17:42. > :17:50.concentrate on what they are here to do. He is very different to his

:17:51. > :17:59.predecessor who rarely spoke to the media. One of my biggest walls as

:18:00. > :18:03.chairman will be to create a great platform of communication at all

:18:04. > :18:07.levels, where people can express themselves. It is a major

:18:08. > :18:11.responsibility that I have taken on here, to build those vehicles of

:18:12. > :18:23.communication inside and outside the organisation. A question for fans.

:18:24. > :18:29.If the club for sale? It is not. Catherine is embracing the

:18:30. > :18:34.environment. Soon she has had her presence known, she has been visible

:18:35. > :18:41.in and is coming to games. Can you keep the manager? The answer isn't

:18:42. > :18:45.very sexy. We need to be successful on and off the pitch and we will do

:18:46. > :18:53.everything possible to have the best possible team here together. It is

:18:54. > :18:57.clear he wants to grow Southampton commercially and has an initial

:18:58. > :19:06.opinion on the thorny subject of playing games abroad. If I look at

:19:07. > :19:08.what the NFL playing at Wembley does for the NFL worldwide, it is

:19:09. > :19:17.certainly something that needs to be part of the discussion. One last ice

:19:18. > :19:23.hockey question. Who is your money on tonight? I have to cheer on

:19:24. > :19:29.Hampshire and wish them a really good match that night. I will slide

:19:30. > :19:32.into that environment once in awhile to remember how cold it can be

:19:33. > :19:43.playing the sport that grew up playing. It is called in Basingstoke

:19:44. > :19:45.tonight. The full interview is on the BBC sport website right now. A

:19:46. > :20:03.busy night of football last night. This was the start of a terrific

:20:04. > :20:15.night. It's got even better in the second half with this free kick. It

:20:16. > :20:22.doubled the lead. Nick Blackman weighed `` waded in to make it

:20:23. > :20:31.three. After this folly, the Royals scored three in nine minutes. Leeds

:20:32. > :20:38.came back with two quickfire goals. This header was converted. Austin

:20:39. > :20:45.popped up with the goal of the game. It still finished as a miserable

:20:46. > :20:51.night for Brian McDermott it on the anniversary office sacking.

:20:52. > :20:59.Elsewhere, Portsmouth continued to find goals hard to come by. Chances

:21:00. > :21:07.came and went at Burton Albion. The outcome was a goalless draw.

:21:08. > :21:16.Tonight Bournemouth aim for a third consecutive Championship win.

:21:17. > :21:22.In Racing, a great afternoon for the West Sussex trainer Gary Moore and

:21:23. > :21:25.his family. He saddled the winner of the big race ` the Queen Mother

:21:26. > :21:29.Champion Chase. Sire De Grugy romped to victory with Gary's son Jamie in

:21:30. > :21:32.the saddle ` ahead of the Mick Channon trained Somersby. Great

:21:33. > :21:35.celebrations for the family ` Gary also has a stake in the horse. The

:21:36. > :21:41.other owners, who include a hairdresser, a sweet salesman, and a

:21:42. > :21:47.plumber, were pretty pleased too! 14 years since any silverware for

:21:48. > :21:56.Basingstoke Bison 's. Tonight, they could lift a trophy in the cup

:21:57. > :22:01.final. Here is the thoughts of Doug Sheppard. We are confident. We are

:22:02. > :22:09.in a pretty good spot here. We are hoping to carry that on tonight. 4`1

:22:10. > :22:16.up and how much of an advantage is that? You have to approach the game

:22:17. > :22:25.and we will approach it like it is goalless. We have been pretty strong

:22:26. > :22:32.at home all year. Our fans have got behind us. We want to reverse that

:22:33. > :22:36.form. It has been a long time since you have got some silverware. What

:22:37. > :22:42.will it be like to lift the trophy tonight? Our fans have been

:22:43. > :22:48.unbelievable and have always got behind us. No nerves? We are not

:22:49. > :22:55.nervous. We are pumped up and ready to go for it. They want to hang

:22:56. > :23:01.another pennant next to that one. We will have the result at 10:25pm.

:23:02. > :23:08.Now to the weather. It has been glorious. Long may it continue.

:23:09. > :23:27.A stunning shot of a Red Kite and stunning blue skies too.

:23:28. > :23:31.We have had some beautiful sunshine and tonight, we can expect clear

:23:32. > :23:42.skies for a time but dense, patchy fog is working its way in. We start

:23:43. > :23:46.with those clear spells. A fine day. We may see a touch of frost early on

:23:47. > :23:54.as temperatures head down to three Celsius. The fog and mist starts to

:23:55. > :23:59.spill in and by the early hours, we can expect some dense, patchy fog.

:24:00. > :24:02.Some spots could well have some problematic travel disruption first

:24:03. > :24:09.thing tomorrow through the morning rush`hour. Stay tuned to your BBC

:24:10. > :24:16.local radio station. We have that fog to around ten o'clock in the

:24:17. > :24:20.morning. Eventually it is set to shift and we are left with bright,

:24:21. > :24:27.sunny skies once again. There will be some cloud around at times. It

:24:28. > :24:33.feels pleasant with highs of 40 Celsius. Plaques along the coast a

:24:34. > :24:43.little bit of sea mist. Looking ahead to tomorrow, it is a repeat

:24:44. > :24:51.performance. Visibility is an issue through the course of tomorrow

:24:52. > :24:58.night. We see clear skies for a time and then the fog spills back in. We

:24:59. > :25:02.may see some problematic fog at times on Friday morning. Through the
