:00:00. > :00:00.Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to On
:00:00. > :00:09.Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's programme:
:00:10. > :00:12.Exclusion zones for fracking, wildlife and conservation groups
:00:13. > :00:24.want tougher protection for the countryside. If we are going to frat
:00:25. > :00:28.in this country we need a regulatory regime that is fit for purpose. I
:00:29. > :00:31.wouldn't wish this on anyone ` the stabbing victim who had limbs
:00:32. > :00:35.amputated because of an infection. The big clear up at Hambledon `
:00:36. > :00:43.getting rid of 20,000 sandbags but it's what's been left behind. There
:00:44. > :00:47.has been water on the street for so long that there is no algae growing
:00:48. > :00:51.all the way down the side of the pavement. And cruising to a Wembley
:00:52. > :00:58.final ` Gosport prepare for the game of their life. I would label it as a
:00:59. > :01:05.David versus Goliath game but we all know that even can beat Goliath.
:01:06. > :01:10.Fracking should be banned from large swathes of the South. That's the
:01:11. > :01:13.view of a range of wildlife and countryside groups who are worried
:01:14. > :01:16.it could harm threatened species and pollute waterways. They want
:01:17. > :01:19.exclusion zones for our most precious landscapes but there are
:01:20. > :01:22.already plans for test drilling in the South Downs National Park that
:01:23. > :01:32.could involve the controversial shale gas technique. We'll be
:01:33. > :01:35.talking to one of the groups in a moment ` first this report from Joe
:01:36. > :01:38.Campbell. The anti`fracking campaigners have never lacked for
:01:39. > :01:42.emotion. Today's report is meant to replace this passion with hard
:01:43. > :01:45.facts. Those behind it are a world away from protestors like these
:01:46. > :01:50.demonstrating at Balcombe in West Sussex last summer. It's been
:01:51. > :01:53.commissioned by organisations involved in the conservation of the
:01:54. > :01:57.south's chalk fishing rivers, The National Trust and RSPB and sets out
:01:58. > :02:03.to undermine the idea that shale gas is a magic bullet in the fight
:02:04. > :02:05.against climate change. The report makes ten recommendations, including
:02:06. > :02:12.new stricter regulation, ensuring water companies are consulted. In
:02:13. > :02:17.some areas, they could be problems supplying water to both homes and
:02:18. > :02:22.fracking sites. And making the industry pay both for regulation
:02:23. > :02:24.costs and cleaning up after itself. It also makes the case for
:02:25. > :02:27.establishing so`called fracking exclusion zones covering National
:02:28. > :02:29.Parks, National Trust land and other environmentally sensitive areas,
:02:30. > :02:39.some of which already fall within areas where fracking licenses have
:02:40. > :02:42.been granted. The industry may have the backing of Ministers, but it
:02:43. > :02:46.says it's already heavily regulated and controls are far stricter here
:02:47. > :02:55.than the US where Shale Gas has been hailed for boosting the economy in
:02:56. > :02:58.tough times. We note the report, we are studying it at the moment. We
:02:59. > :03:01.are pleased that some of the recommendations we have already
:03:02. > :03:08.implemented in the UK and we welcome ongoing dialogue. Opponents of
:03:09. > :03:11.Fracking like these residents of Fernhurst on the edge of the South
:03:12. > :03:15.Down National Park will take comfort though that they can now point to
:03:16. > :03:22.those same organisations as sharing their concerns.
:03:23. > :03:27.One of the groups involved in today's report is the Angling Trust.
:03:28. > :03:31.A short time ago I spoke to Martin Salter from the Trust. I put it to
:03:32. > :03:35.him that oil and gas is already the most heavily regulated industry in
:03:36. > :03:41.the UK. Of course they would say that. In America they meet all sorts
:03:42. > :03:45.of assurances and yet the fracking industry over the managed to get
:03:46. > :03:52.itself exempted from the clean air and clean water act. We want to
:03:53. > :03:57.learn from experience. This is not a particularly anti`fracking report,
:03:58. > :04:04.it is a pro`wildlife report. We must have a regime that is fit for
:04:05. > :04:08.purpose. The current one is not. One of the problems you have is with the
:04:09. > :04:14.chalk rivers, take the river behind you, there will not be a fracking
:04:15. > :04:20.drill put there surely. I'm afraid there is every possibility there
:04:21. > :04:25.could be. I urge people to read the report that the angling trust has
:04:26. > :04:30.launched today. There is a frightening synergy between where
:04:31. > :04:35.the 161 chalk streams of Britain are and the proposed fracking sites.
:04:36. > :04:39.There is a big overlap here and they are proposing to drill hundreds of
:04:40. > :04:47.wealth into the chalk aquifer, that is very permeable, it could cause
:04:48. > :04:55.untold damage to wildlife. If you take the farm in Dorset near to the
:04:56. > :04:59.Jurassic Coast, that has had little impact on the Biederman. You are
:05:00. > :05:07.talking one drilling site, we are talking 33,000. Some of these are
:05:08. > :05:13.situated in areas of special scientific interest. We say there
:05:14. > :05:16.should be areas which are exempt from fracking where the
:05:17. > :05:21.infrastructure is not capable of taking the vast amount of lorry
:05:22. > :05:25.movements involved in the exercise. This is clearly a technology the
:05:26. > :05:31.government is determined to embrace, we are not saying do not do that but
:05:32. > :05:38.we are saying put the environment first. You just want to get the best
:05:39. > :05:42.deal possible? We certainly want to make sure if we are going to be
:05:43. > :05:47.extracting fossil fuels we except that is likely to happen but it is
:05:48. > :05:56.not done at the expense of our chalk streams and wildlife. It should not
:05:57. > :06:05.be done at the expense of our communities in rural areas that
:06:06. > :06:07.cannot deal with the traffic. An inquest into the death of a
:06:08. > :06:10.Hampshire man whose artificial breathing supply was interrupted has
:06:11. > :06:14.heard claims that the two nurses caring for him had a disagreement
:06:15. > :06:17.over how to use the ventilator. 39`year`old Matt Simmonds was
:06:18. > :06:20.receiving end of life care and died on the day he returned home. Today
:06:21. > :06:23.one of the nurses, who'd faced complaints about her NHS work,
:06:24. > :06:31.defended her actions. James Ingham reports from Winchester. Matt
:06:32. > :06:35.Simmons had a rare terminal condition. He had been discharged
:06:36. > :06:40.from the hospital to receive palliative care at home but he did
:06:41. > :06:45.that same day shortly after two nurses had changed shifts and just
:06:46. > :06:51.after an year Ben Plater had been switched over. The court heard from
:06:52. > :06:55.the night nurse whose clinical reputation has been called into
:06:56. > :07:02.question. She was on sick leave from her NHS job at Poole Hospital when
:07:03. > :07:07.she took on this private work. That followed an earlier suspension and
:07:08. > :07:11.disciplinary after she was found to have administered drugs wrongly on
:07:12. > :07:14.four occasions. She was asked whether this stress would have
:07:15. > :07:26.affected her ability to look after Matt Simmons, not at all, she said.
:07:27. > :07:31.The other nurse said she stood by a statement she gave to please but the
:07:32. > :07:36.two nurses had disagreed about the ventilator as they change machines.
:07:37. > :07:40.She said she remembers the sound of the second ventilator working but
:07:41. > :07:45.analysis of the machine shows it was never switched on after the first
:07:46. > :07:50.ventilator was twitched off, it was only turned on by the night nurse
:07:51. > :07:56.after Mr Simmons the mother noticed something was wrong, by that stage,
:07:57. > :08:00.he was already dead. The manufacturer has concluded his ear
:08:01. > :08:08.supply was interrupted for about an hour, that is backed up by a Home
:08:09. > :08:11.Office pathologist. A man from Sussex has spoken out about the
:08:12. > :08:14.dangers of knife crime after he lost his arms and legs following a
:08:15. > :08:17.stabbing. Ernest Moyo, who's known as Joe, was attacked after a party
:08:18. > :08:21.in Worthing in August 2012. Infection spread throughout his body
:08:22. > :08:24.and his limbs had to be amputated by surgeons in Brighton. He says he
:08:25. > :08:28.wouldn't wish what happened to him on anybody, not even the four men
:08:29. > :08:34.who've been found guilty of grievous bodily harm. He spoke exclusively to
:08:35. > :08:38.our reporter Juliette Parkin. It was not something his fiancee thought
:08:39. > :08:44.she would ever have to do, nurse and gear for her partner of eight years.
:08:45. > :08:51.19 months ago, both their lives changed when Joe was stabbed. I
:08:52. > :08:56.started waking up it by bit and I could see my hands going chart all
:08:57. > :09:02.black. I knew something was going wrong with my legs as well. The
:09:03. > :09:07.attack happened during an argument between two groups of men in
:09:08. > :09:12.Worthing. Joe was stabbed in his stomach and leg and left leading in
:09:13. > :09:19.the street. Surgeons at the hospital fought to save his life. He was not
:09:20. > :09:25.breathing or anything it was the machines that kept him alive. That
:09:26. > :09:36.was not Joel lying there, it was just like, oh my god, really
:09:37. > :09:42.shocked. Sussex Police interviewed Joe in hospital three months after
:09:43. > :09:48.the attack. His condition was so serious it was feared he would die,
:09:49. > :09:52.evidence was critical. Some people do not want to speak to police, they
:09:53. > :09:57.have the entitlement they do not have talk to us. Abel had been
:09:58. > :10:07.drinking, they were very young, it was a very fast`moving incident that
:10:08. > :10:10.happened. It was people what a few seconds of holding a knife or
:10:11. > :10:17.sticking a knife into someone can actually do. Four men will be
:10:18. > :10:21.sentenced for grievous bodily harm next month. Two hospitals which had
:10:22. > :10:24.been at risk of giving poor care to patients have been upgraded, in the
:10:25. > :10:27.latest report by inspectors. The Royal Bournemouth and the Royal
:10:28. > :10:30.Berkshire hospital in Reading have been moved out of the highest risk
:10:31. > :10:33.category by the Care Quality Commission. Our Health Correspondent
:10:34. > :10:38.David Fenton has been looking at the report and he joins me now. So what
:10:39. > :10:41.are we to make of this, are they safer? This report isn't judging
:10:42. > :10:44.safety of hospitals, its judging risk. So, how likely is it that
:10:45. > :10:47.hospital might be doing something wrong? Both those hospitals were on
:10:48. > :10:54.proverbial naughty step last year as being potentially a high risk. You
:10:55. > :10:57.remember there was a big inspection at Royal Bournemouth and quite a
:10:58. > :11:01.damning report but it's worked hard to improve and both it and the Royal
:11:02. > :11:09.Berkshire have been taken out of worst category. In fact Reading
:11:10. > :11:15.hospital has gone from being one of the highest risk, to one of the
:11:16. > :11:19.lowest. Are these real improvements or is this just about statistics? If
:11:20. > :11:23.the improvements aren't real then it's all a big waste of time really.
:11:24. > :11:32.Because that's what it's all about and it does seem to be working. The
:11:33. > :11:35.Mental Health unit Antelope House had a poor report earlier this year
:11:36. > :11:44.because of staffing problems, and that's now improved as well. Safety
:11:45. > :11:49.and quality of care is our priority. We are inspecting our services and
:11:50. > :11:53.looking at how we improve quality of their all the time. We welcome them
:11:54. > :12:00.coming in and supporting as to do that. These improvements will only
:12:01. > :12:06.really matter if the people who use these services feel and see them
:12:07. > :12:15.getting better themselves. Still to come: Drama on the ice brings the
:12:16. > :12:21.Bisons their first silverware in 14 years. A new system for dealing with
:12:22. > :12:25.bullying and abuse cases in the Armed Forces has been described as a
:12:26. > :12:27.whitewash by the campaign group Liberty. It helped represent the
:12:28. > :12:30.family of Bournemouth soldier Anne`Marie Ellement who committed
:12:31. > :12:35.suicide at Bulford Barracks after bullying and the mental impact of an
:12:36. > :12:38.alleged rape. However, the Ministry of Defence says under the new
:12:39. > :12:47.ombudsman system complaints will be handled fairly and effectively.
:12:48. > :12:49.Heavy machinery rolled into the little Hampshire village of
:12:50. > :12:52.Hambledon today to start removing thousands of soggy sandbags. With
:12:53. > :12:56.124 homes flooded in the winter storms, it was among the worst hit
:12:57. > :12:59.communities in the south. The cost of ten long weeks of pumping,
:13:00. > :13:06.defending homes and road closures is thought to have added up to a
:13:07. > :13:16.whopping ?4million pounds. Chrissy Sturt reports. It is a serious
:13:17. > :13:20.clean`up job. Dozens of workmen moved into the picture postcard
:13:21. > :13:25.village today to start the clearance. We have deployed 70,000
:13:26. > :13:29.sandbags in the past few months and put simply, we want them back. We
:13:30. > :13:38.want to take them away for recycling. This woman had meters of
:13:39. > :13:43.pipework and six pumps moving water from her house. There is a massive
:13:44. > :13:49.clean`up going on now, the removal of thousands of sandbags, trying to
:13:50. > :13:55.put their homes back together, carpets and furniture being removed.
:13:56. > :13:59.This is just one of the homes where the dehumidifiers are still working
:14:00. > :14:05.hard. They had sewage water coming in here and it has very badly
:14:06. > :14:09.affected the house. They had to take up carpets in several of the rooms.
:14:10. > :14:14.This houses thousands of years old meaning they will have to put
:14:15. > :14:27.plaster on these walls, the bill is likely to cost ?10,000. There is a
:14:28. > :14:32.?3 million pipe required. But areas do not qualify for flood defence
:14:33. > :14:39.money. After eight trip to Westminster they are still positive.
:14:40. > :14:43.We cannot have half the pipe, it has got to be all pipe running through
:14:44. > :14:46.the length of the village. I remain confident that later this year the
:14:47. > :14:53.bulldozers will move in and start doing the work. Despite the efforts
:14:54. > :14:56.to return to normal here and there are still several road closures in
:14:57. > :15:00.place and there has been water in the streets for so long that there
:15:01. > :15:04.is no algae growing all the way down the sides of the pavements. After
:15:05. > :15:07.months of traffic chaos and long queues through Reading, a major
:15:08. > :15:10.commuter route over the River Thames has reopened this afternoon. It
:15:11. > :15:13.follows temporary repairs to the flood damaged road at Sonning
:15:14. > :15:16.Bridge. The council needs to carry out work, but has come under intense
:15:17. > :15:28.criticism from drivers and politicians for not acting quickly
:15:29. > :15:31.enough. Nikki Mitchell reports. Emergency repairs began this morning
:15:32. > :15:36.saw one carriageway at least could be reopened with temporary traffic
:15:37. > :15:40.lights. It is better late than never for this president who is isolated
:15:41. > :15:47.from her friends and family across the river. She says complaints fell
:15:48. > :15:52.on deaf ears. I got the highways, it is nothing to do with fuzz was the
:15:53. > :15:57.attitude I got. You can understand why we are frustrated, they just did
:15:58. > :16:02.not seem to care. Hopefully after this weekend I shall be able to get
:16:03. > :16:07.out easier. There has been huge political pressure to get this busy
:16:08. > :16:13.commuter route open again. MPs have been inundated by complaints from
:16:14. > :16:17.commuting constituents, from businesses and residents. They, in
:16:18. > :16:22.turn, have been urging Oxfordshire County Council to react more
:16:23. > :16:27.quickly. By the floodwaters have dropped engineers have conceded a
:16:28. > :16:31.temporary fixes adequate for now. There are hopes the government will
:16:32. > :16:36.pay for more permanent repairs so the route will have to be closed
:16:37. > :16:41.again soon. We need to sit down and work out the proper plan for when
:16:42. > :16:46.the road could have permanent repairs to load normal service to
:16:47. > :16:51.resume. We have to balance when the best time for that is, do we wait
:16:52. > :16:57.for school holidays or crack on with that now? The long`term more
:16:58. > :17:09.expensive plan is to raise the road significantly saw it does not get
:17:10. > :17:13.involved with floodwater again. Residents on the Isle of Wight are
:17:14. > :17:19.fighting plans for new housing. A developer tried for a second time
:17:20. > :17:22.for a new application with fewer properties on the original site
:17:23. > :17:29.which was rejected. Our reporter has more. The Isle of Wight Council
:17:30. > :17:34.wants to build more homes in places that already have good facilities
:17:35. > :17:40.like a post office and school. Here, one landowner applied to build
:17:41. > :17:46.89 houses on his land, expanding the village by over 50%. That plan was
:17:47. > :17:54.rejected so he has applied again for 40 homes on the same site. He
:17:55. > :18:01.quickly launched an appeal for a smaller number of homes on the same
:18:02. > :18:07.site. I think we should contribute along with everyone else, if there
:18:08. > :18:10.is a identified local need the majority of the residents here think
:18:11. > :18:16.five or ten houses would be ample over the next five years, it needs
:18:17. > :18:22.to be organic and sustainable, neither of which comes with this
:18:23. > :18:27.planning application. Like macro the council admit houses have to be
:18:28. > :18:31.built but location is critical. We need appropriate development in the
:18:32. > :18:35.right places with the right infrastructure. If the proposed
:18:36. > :18:40.developments do not meet this criteria they should not go ahead.
:18:41. > :18:44.The landowner would not speak to us, it is now going to the council to
:18:45. > :18:54.decide whether his visions for the future or this field become reality.
:18:55. > :19:04.The decision to approve a 175 acre solar farm has faced the judicial
:19:05. > :19:08.review. The solar farm in mapper turn was agreed by the local council
:19:09. > :19:18.in November but local residents will appeal the decision at a meeting in
:19:19. > :19:24.May. Now on to sport. This man knows how to live the high life! It has
:19:25. > :19:33.been a busy week, let's just say that. We will start on the ice. 14
:19:34. > :19:36.years without a trophy, last night Basingstoke Bison ended their
:19:37. > :19:40.drought, by lifting ice hockey's English Premier League Cup. They did
:19:41. > :19:45.it on a dramatic night at Planet Ice in Basingstoke. Tony Husband watched
:19:46. > :19:52.the action unfold. The waiting was finally over. Beating/bisons have
:19:53. > :20:00.some silverware. It seemed destined to have an exciting night. The
:20:01. > :20:08.aggregate score became 5`1 and it seemed like this should be a victory
:20:09. > :20:16.parade from the start. As the night went on that aggregate lead fell
:20:17. > :20:23.away. Their opponents had the 4`2 lead on the night. This goal
:20:24. > :20:33.restored the 2`goal aggregate lead which was enough. We just needed
:20:34. > :20:38.that last goal and we got it, the places rocking. I would not be any
:20:39. > :20:48.rebels tonight, absolutely brilliant. The fans deserved it
:20:49. > :21:00.tonight, we did it the right way. More than 14,000 fans packed into
:21:01. > :21:03.planet ice. Let's hope it is not another On to football, and
:21:04. > :21:06.Bournemouth moved into the top half of the Championship table, with
:21:07. > :21:09.their third straight win. 40 news before another trophy. The success
:21:10. > :21:12.at Blackburn was also their third clean sheet in a row. The Cherries
:21:13. > :21:15.came closest to breaking the deadlock in the first half, when
:21:16. > :21:18.defender Steve Cook's header struck the upright. But midway through the
:21:19. > :21:21.second period, top scorer Lewis Grabban beat former England keeper
:21:22. > :21:25.Paul Robinson, for his fifteenth goal of the season. That lifted the
:21:26. > :21:28.Cherries up to twelfth ` 10 points short of the play off positions. And
:21:29. > :21:31.Reading's young stars celebrated a huge result at the Madejski Stadium,
:21:32. > :21:35.as they knocked mighty Liverpool out of the FA Youth Cup. The Royals
:21:36. > :21:38.Under 18s found themselves 4`2 down in extra time. But in the last
:21:39. > :21:43.seconds, George McLennan levelled at 4`4 to send the game to penalties.
:21:44. > :21:47.And after Liverpool had missed, Reading's Taylor Crossdale held his
:21:48. > :21:50.nerve, as the Royals reached the youth cup semi`finals for the first
:21:51. > :21:56.time in the club's history. They'll meet either Fulham or Huddersfield.
:21:57. > :21:59.Congratulations to them. Great commentary! Gosport Borough's
:22:00. > :22:02.Wembley date is now just over a week away. As part of the build`up,
:22:03. > :22:05.managers and players from both Borough, and opponents Cambridge,
:22:06. > :22:09.got a first glimpse of the FA Trophy, as they took a tour down the
:22:10. > :22:16.Thames to publicise the Final. Lewis Coombes joined them. Cruising along
:22:17. > :22:22.the Thames in the London sunshine, Gosport Borough already feel like
:22:23. > :22:27.they have one. Players have been left pinching themselves. The
:22:28. > :22:32.prospect of policing the famous Wembley graphs. The prospect of
:22:33. > :22:41.Wembley does not happen to many footballers at the top level for as
:22:42. > :22:43.it is incredible to get that chance. Being from the league above,
:22:44. > :22:50.Cambridge are undoubtedly favourites. What an enormous task it
:22:51. > :22:56.will be to play Cambridge but I have labelled it the David versus Goliath
:22:57. > :23:03.game and we all know that David can Goliath. Bike macro they are no
:23:04. > :23:12.hoping to become the lowest ranked team to win it in 20 years. I have
:23:13. > :23:19.done a best man speech and I did all right. The gaffer is the motivator
:23:20. > :23:27.in the team, a few of us will see our things and we will let our
:23:28. > :23:34.football do the talking. It is the biggest game in Gosport's history.
:23:35. > :23:41.It will put us on the football match nationally. I am very proud of the
:23:42. > :23:47.town. Sport will be hoping the sunshine is on them again come the
:23:48. > :23:55.final. Lots more about that next week, that is the week on Sunday. I
:23:56. > :23:59.will be at Wembley for that one. Talking of commentary, that guy from
:24:00. > :24:03.the reading youth team was fabulous. Sometimes passion just
:24:04. > :24:10.comes out. Sometimes you have to let the passion just go. It is
:24:11. > :24:17.fantastic. Now onto the weather. It has been glorious today, one of the
:24:18. > :24:25.warmest days of the week? We peeked at 17 today in some parts of the
:24:26. > :24:27.region. Basking. And what a beautiful selection of photographs
:24:28. > :24:31.again today. A glorious scene from Andy Lyons as the sun rose in
:24:32. > :24:34.Swanage this morning. Hazy skies as the mist cleared over Didcot. Thank
:24:35. > :24:38.you to Becca Collacott for that one. And this photo really captures the
:24:39. > :24:45.springtime feel ` it was taken by Ed Inman at Poole Park. Not all of
:24:46. > :24:51.buyers seeing that beautiful sunshine today. Some of us were
:24:52. > :24:56.stuck with fog for much of the day. That is rolling back in know and we
:24:57. > :25:02.are seeing delays already on the services over to the island. Stay
:25:03. > :25:09.tuned to your local BBC Radio station for travel updates. Tonight
:25:10. > :25:15.the fog will roll in across much of the region. We are expecting some
:25:16. > :25:19.quite dense patches once again. Not everybody seeing the really thick
:25:20. > :25:24.stuff but where we do see it this ability could be reduced to 100
:25:25. > :25:28.metres or less. Through the morning rush hour we do have a yellow
:25:29. > :25:36.weather warning in place once again. That is valid until 11pm. By then
:25:37. > :25:39.most of ours will start to see an improving picture. There will be
:25:40. > :25:46.brighter skies and sunny spells into the afternoon. Coastal areas and the
:25:47. > :25:50.Isle of White could see some of that fog lingering through the day
:25:51. > :25:56.tomorrow but elsewhere we are hoping much of it will lift away. Overnight
:25:57. > :26:01.tonight we will gradually CBeebies pick`up. On Friday night that will
:26:02. > :26:06.happen and we will see less in the way of fog. Generally cloudy with
:26:07. > :26:13.six or seven Celsius the overnight close. For the weekend we have this
:26:14. > :26:19.area of high pressure so things are staying settled once again. We will
:26:20. > :26:22.see a little more cloud around, breezy as well but generally some
:26:23. > :26:28.good brightness on both days and we will see some sunny spells at some
:26:29. > :26:32.point with more in the week of sunshine into Sunday. Generally a
:26:33. > :26:39.dry weekend with warm sunny spells and a little breezy. Brightening up
:26:40. > :26:50.later and staying settled through the weekend. Just to let you know
:26:51. > :26:55.about something they are doing tomorrow. A couple of weeks ago we
:26:56. > :26:59.reported from the scene of the biggest railway landslip in living
:27:00. > :27:03.memory. Creus there have been working around the clock to get
:27:04. > :27:08.things back online and tomorrow we will be back in Botley to see how
:27:09. > :27:12.they are getting on and show you the impressive results. Thank you for
