:00:10. > :00:16.Hello, welcome to South Today. Tonight: It is not clear he intended
:00:17. > :00:23.to take his own life. A verdict on a mentally ill man who was found
:00:24. > :00:29.hanged after writing a farewell note to his mother. I will never get the
:00:30. > :00:33.answer that I won. Football chairman defends his club after a local
:00:34. > :00:38.newspaper claims it has a problem with hooligans. A piece of history
:00:39. > :00:46.goes under the hammer. The German warship Bell which spent decades as
:00:47. > :00:50.a garden ornament. I found it in the Bush and saw the name and thought it
:00:51. > :00:57.was something special. # This is my fine tuning ahead of
:00:58. > :01:10.the Wembley appearance as Gosport prepare for the biggest day of their
:01:11. > :01:13.lives. Mental health chiefs in Portsmouth
:01:14. > :01:17.say a series of improvements have been carried out since a patient was
:01:18. > :01:19.found hanged in the grounds of a hospital. Stephen Hipkins was a
:01:20. > :01:23.voluntary patient in the mental health unit at St James' Hospital.
:01:24. > :01:26.Today Coroner David Horsley recorded a narrative verdict saying Stephen
:01:27. > :01:29.was a disturbed and distressed young man. But, from the evidence, the
:01:30. > :01:32.coroner could not say that Stephen had deliberately taken his own life.
:01:33. > :01:42.Steve Humphrey was at the inquest and joins us from Portsmouth. Steve.
:01:43. > :01:46.Yes, in his closing comments, the Portsmouth corner used that telling
:01:47. > :01:57.phrase, describing Stephen Hipkins as a disturbed and distressed young
:01:58. > :02:02.man. The coroner said that he could not say that Stephen Hipkins had
:02:03. > :02:06.intended to take his own life. It was here in the grounds of St James'
:02:07. > :02:10.Hospital in Portsmouth that Stephen Hipkins's body was found. The
:02:11. > :02:16.28`year`old had been depressed, drinking heavily and was self
:02:17. > :02:23.harming. He left a note saying, sorry, mum, that it has to be this
:02:24. > :02:27.way, I cannot deal with life any more. He was a voluntary patient at
:02:28. > :02:32.St James' Hospital, free to go home at any time. He managed to leave the
:02:33. > :02:38.hospital with no risk assessment when doors to the assessment centre
:02:39. > :02:44.were locked. The family spoke to reporters. I thought the verdict was
:02:45. > :02:48.OK but I never got the answer I was looking for which was how he got out
:02:49. > :02:55.to take his own life. They could not give me that answer because they did
:02:56. > :03:02.not know. I think it is a bit late now to put those security systems
:03:03. > :03:07.in. It would have prevented this happening. The inquest heard that
:03:08. > :03:13.following Stephen Hipkins's death, the NHS trust commissioned to
:03:14. > :03:20.reports into the security and care and treatment of Stephen Hipkins.
:03:21. > :03:23.Some recommendations were made. We can confirm that all recommendations
:03:24. > :03:27.in that plan had been implemented, and we have carefully considered the
:03:28. > :03:31.conclusions of the coroner today. On the half of the NHS trust, we would
:03:32. > :03:36.like to offer our condolences to family and friends. The improvements
:03:37. > :03:41.made at the hospital since Stephen Hipkins's death included making
:03:42. > :03:47.fences hire and improving clinical risk assessment. In his closing
:03:48. > :03:52.remarks, the Portsmouth coroner said, everything that can be done
:03:53. > :03:58.has been done. Stephen Hipkins's mother, Tina, said she hopes that no
:03:59. > :04:02.other family has to go through what she has been through over the last
:04:03. > :04:05.few years. Thank you. A regional newspaper has apologised after
:04:06. > :04:07.publishing an article linking the Hillsborough stadium tragedy with
:04:08. > :04:10.football hooliganism. The Reading Chronicle made the comment as it
:04:11. > :04:17.suggested Reading football club had big problems with hooligan fans. Its
:04:18. > :04:21.claims have been refuted by the owner of the club which has now
:04:22. > :04:30.banned the paper from the stadium. Joe Campbell reports. This is the
:04:31. > :04:35.image most people have. It is, though, a sham, according to one
:04:36. > :04:41.local newspaper. Fighting and Nazi salutes, evidence that things often
:04:42. > :04:49.turn ugly, say the Reading Chronicle. I have been here for five
:04:50. > :04:54.years and never seen anything. I am not sure I believe that, I have not
:04:55. > :05:00.seen anything. A need to apologise to the Reading fans and Reading
:05:01. > :05:03.football club. The article makes a link between hooliganism and the
:05:04. > :05:12.Hillsborough disaster, leading to fans on social media to condemn the
:05:13. > :05:13.Reading Chronicle. Club chairman has fired a broadside at the Reading
:05:14. > :06:10.Chronicle, meant to suggest that there was a
:06:11. > :06:16.link between hooliganism and what happens at Hillsborough, offering an
:06:17. > :06:19.unreserved apology. For fans closer to home, angered by the suggestion
:06:20. > :06:28.that football violence is still alive and well here, there was
:06:29. > :06:35.nothing. Can putting ex`offenders into a boxing ring help them stay
:06:36. > :06:40.away from crime? Portsmouth boxing Academy was visited today by Justice
:06:41. > :06:44.Secretary Chris Grayling. He came to see a programme today that helps
:06:45. > :06:52.offenders turn their lives around. Out of jail, and in the boxing ring.
:06:53. > :06:55.After being caught in a cycle of drug related crime, Gabriel was
:06:56. > :06:59.referred to the Heart of Portsmouth boxing club by Hampshire Probation.
:07:00. > :07:08.I had to break away from the people I knew. I needed to embrace positive
:07:09. > :07:17.people. They believed in me and have shown me love. They show me respect
:07:18. > :07:22.and dignity. One of the safest places in the world is a boxing
:07:23. > :07:25.club. You will not get any bullying or people mouthing off here. Soon
:07:26. > :07:27.most probation work with offenders will be handed over to private
:07:28. > :07:31.companies. Today Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said the reforms will
:07:32. > :07:38.mean more schemes like this will be offered to offenders who previously
:07:39. > :07:43.were left to their own devices. In a future, probation work taken on by
:07:44. > :07:49.the private sector will work under a payment by resources system. Schemes
:07:50. > :07:52.like this stands to be rewarded. But critics are worried this won't work,
:07:53. > :07:59.and nearly a third of Hampshire's probation chiefs have chosen to
:08:00. > :08:03.leave the service. It is simply having an element of performance
:08:04. > :08:06.related pay. It is saying that we will pay you the full amount when
:08:07. > :08:12.you get the job done, and we want to see results at the end of it. We are
:08:13. > :08:16.structuring a system which is not about reducing absolute levels of
:08:17. > :08:19.reoffending, but it is reducing the levels of crime as well. Currently
:08:20. > :08:26.more than a quarter of offenders re`offend within a year. The
:08:27. > :08:29.government needs the success at this club to be replicated on a much
:08:30. > :08:32.wider scale. Emma Vardy, BBC South Today. Military personnel from the
:08:33. > :08:35.south have been decorated for their bravery in the latest round of
:08:36. > :08:39.honours. From surviving a suicide bomb attack and still giving crucial
:08:40. > :08:42.first aid to others, to saving a sinking ship in freezing waters, the
:08:43. > :08:49.Queen's Commendation for Bravery recognises outstanding
:08:50. > :08:53.contributions. Frankie Peck reports. It was a daring rescue mission to
:08:54. > :08:57.stop 200 tonnes of diesel leaking into the sea off the Devon coast.
:08:58. > :09:02.Chief Petty Officer Neal Horsley stepped aboard the sinking tub and
:09:03. > :09:07.spent hours working in shoulder height freezing water. It was
:09:08. > :09:14.sinking quickly after it had been hit by a larger vessel. It was quite
:09:15. > :09:18.scary because you think, there was a lot of water here, how much is in
:09:19. > :09:26.the engine room? Will we have to get off quickly? Sinead Dodds was
:09:27. > :09:31.commended for her bravery after she was badly hurt in a suicide bomb
:09:32. > :09:36.attack in Afghanistan. The 21`year`old gave life`saving aid to
:09:37. > :09:43.two comrades also injured. I was unconscious, I woke up and there was
:09:44. > :09:46.a pain in my ears. I heard the casualties screaming and that is
:09:47. > :09:53.when I knew I had to get up and do something. Charlie Locklear and Bob
:09:54. > :09:57.Sunderland, both based in Hampshire, have also been commended. They were
:09:58. > :10:02.in an RAF Chinook when they came under fire. Bob Sunderland was hit
:10:03. > :10:09.by flying shrapnel. Despite this and severe damage to the helicopter,
:10:10. > :10:14.Charlie Locklear still managed to land and recover the aircraft back
:10:15. > :10:19.to base. The effectiveness of the enemy in the area, the degrading
:10:20. > :10:24.systems on the aircraft, all made a difficult situation, but we worked
:10:25. > :10:27.our way through it as a crew. The Queen's Commendation for Bravery is
:10:28. > :10:31.awarded to those who have shown exceptional courage in the line of
:10:32. > :10:39.duty. 117 personnel have been commended in the latest honours.
:10:40. > :10:42.Still to come in this evening's South Today... You're all good
:10:43. > :10:45.sports ` and you've been doing your bit for charity ` we see some of
:10:46. > :10:53.your Sport Relief fundraising moments. It's often easy to forget
:10:54. > :10:58.about what's lying around our homes ` but if you look closely enough you
:10:59. > :11:06.may just uncover a piece of history. For more than 70 years an iron bell
:11:07. > :11:09.sat in a garden. It turns out that it belonged to a German warship
:11:10. > :11:13.which played an important part in the first attack on British soil in
:11:14. > :11:17.World War One. The story ends in Southampton but started 100 years
:11:18. > :11:31.ago off the North East coast. Chris Robinson reports. When German
:11:32. > :11:37.battleships attacked Britain in December 1914, the coastal town of
:11:38. > :11:42.Hartlepool took a direct hit. The shelling killed more than 100
:11:43. > :11:46.people, injuring hundreds more. Violet was a seven`year`old girl at
:11:47. > :11:50.the time. She was interviewed by the BBC for a recent documentary. I went
:11:51. > :11:59.upstairs and looked out the bedroom window. I could see the flashes. I
:12:00. > :12:06.thought they were going to come and take us, and kill us. One of the
:12:07. > :12:09.ships was this vessel. It fought in the Battle of Jutland but after the
:12:10. > :12:17.war was sunk when the German fleet surrender. She was submerged until
:12:18. > :12:23.1938 when she was raised and sold for scrap. Locked away in storage in
:12:24. > :12:28.Southampton, this is the ship's Bell. It spent 70 years sat in a
:12:29. > :12:36.garden. It was only when other items were looked at to be auctioned was
:12:37. > :12:43.its history being told. Having found it in a brush, I thought, this is
:12:44. > :12:52.something special. `` rush. I was not sure, but I and did some
:12:53. > :12:59.research. How significant is this? Very significant. There are very few
:13:00. > :13:06.of these Bell is left in existence. I know of one other. The Dell will
:13:07. > :13:17.be auctioned tomorrow and is expected to fetch ?5,000.
:13:18. > :13:20.The music and fashion industries are still reeling from the news earlier
:13:21. > :13:23.this week that Mick Jagger's girlfriend L'Wren Scott had been
:13:24. > :13:26.found dead. Fellow Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood has Tweeted that all
:13:27. > :13:29.their thoughts are with Mick and L'Wren's family. The band are
:13:30. > :13:32.currently on tour, something which has been a trademark of their long
:13:33. > :13:36.musical career. Five decades ago, the Rolling Stones were just making
:13:37. > :13:40.their way in the industry. And they were making their way across the
:13:41. > :13:50.Solent to play on the Isle of Wight. Alex Dyke looks back on that event.
:13:51. > :13:53.1964, it is the birth of pirate radio. Goldfinger is the latest
:13:54. > :14:03.James Bond film. The Beatles had just completed then you single. The
:14:04. > :14:07.Rolling Stones played... Brighton Pavilion? Tickets went on sale on
:14:08. > :14:15.the 23rd of vibrate for the two shows here at the Pavilion. They
:14:16. > :14:22.were a brand`new chart band. `` February. By the time they played
:14:23. > :14:25.here, they were playing their version of Not Fake Away. Limousines
:14:26. > :14:32.were not on the cards for the Rolling Stones. They arrived in
:14:33. > :14:44.Cortina. Security was stretched... All 12 of them. New `` was it the
:14:45. > :14:49.huge deal that we all think it was, or was it another chart band
:14:50. > :14:53.visiting the island? It was probably the first chart band to visit the
:14:54. > :15:01.island. I think the only bands I had seen previously were Tommy Steele,
:15:02. > :15:08.and I saw the Shadows play in Portsmouth. The Rolling Stones
:15:09. > :15:20.played two shows here, and they decide to stay all the way over
:15:21. > :15:24.here, at the Rye Castle. The person who was here at the time thought it
:15:25. > :15:27.would be a good idea to get the word out that the Rolling Stones were
:15:28. > :15:30.staying here. They put lots of adverts up. What happened? You can
:15:31. > :15:39.guess. Tell me about this photograph. That is the Pavilion, is
:15:40. > :15:44.it not? This is Brian Jones? Yes. And that is Mick Jagger. Funnily
:15:45. > :15:48.enough, the Rolling Stones did return to the Isle of Wight. It was
:15:49. > :16:00.not until 2007, but this time, it was a little bit to get! `` a little
:16:01. > :16:08.bit bigger! I am excited about the sports tonight. I'm excited because
:16:09. > :16:14.Tony might sing. No, I could not compete with these guys! I thought
:16:15. > :16:23.you were joining in! I was never one for the punk rock. It is a big
:16:24. > :16:26.weekend, though. It is one of those occasions where the whole town
:16:27. > :16:30.rallies round. It will be a great day at Wembley. Gosport Borough's
:16:31. > :16:33.players had a look around Wembley today as they prepare to face
:16:34. > :16:37.Cambridge United in Sunday's FA Trophy final. It'll be one of those
:16:38. > :16:40.days where a town goes eerily quiet as more than 12,000 fans follow the
:16:41. > :16:51.team to the national stadium. And the backing is already noisy.
:16:52. > :16:57.# This is my town. This is my town. The song is Gosport town. This is a
:16:58. > :17:04.local band appearing on BBC Radio Solent today, celebrating Gosport's
:17:05. > :17:09.first trip to Wembley. It is a tradition that has been lost with
:17:10. > :17:13.all the big clubs. We going back to the 1970s and 1980s, where our are,
:17:14. > :17:20.and we are trying to revive the cup final song. We have joined in, and
:17:21. > :17:25.we are sticking our boot in as well. It is good for our community. The
:17:26. > :17:31.band and Gosport fans know that they are the underdogs against Cambridge
:17:32. > :17:42.United. But that is music to the ears of the manager who is returning
:17:43. > :17:49.to Wembley after leaving Wimborne. We can go out and play without fear.
:17:50. > :17:54.The expectation is on Cambridge's shoulders, and so it should be. We
:17:55. > :17:59.are looking to get back in the league. Bertini used Reading's
:18:00. > :18:06.training ground today. This man knows a bit about winning at
:18:07. > :18:12.Wembley, and at Cambridge. It was a great day, against Cambridge. If the
:18:13. > :18:20.great Lakes to play football. If we lose, the memories are soured, so it
:18:21. > :18:28.is important we go there and win it. On Sunday, 12,000 travelling fans
:18:29. > :18:41.will be there with them. Go, Gosport! My town! This is my town!
:18:42. > :18:47.You can sing! Do you know what? The whole song is on the BBC Sport
:18:48. > :18:52.website. Without Tony! It is worth listening to! Gosport's players will
:18:53. > :18:55.be at Wembley tomorrow to watch the rugby fixture between Saracens and
:18:56. > :18:59.Harlequins. It's big day for Gosport Borough and for BBC Radio Solent
:19:00. > :19:02.this Sunday. Former Portsmouth striker Steve Claridge, who's played
:19:03. > :19:05.for both Gosport and Cambridge, joins Kris Temple and the team for a

:20:05. > :20:11.could make his debut on loan from Sheffield Wednesday. And we'll round
:20:12. > :20:13.up all the weekend's football, plus have an emotional interview with

:20:44. > :20:53.going to get cold. It certainly is. There is going to be an eight degree

:21:07. > :21:16.Robert Stidworthy took this photo of two Canada Geese in the sunshine at
:21:17. > :21:20.Titchfield Haven. So, let's talk about the weather. We have a
:21:21. > :21:26.contrast in temperatures from last weekend. Last weekend, 18 Celsius.
:21:27. > :21:37.This weekend, nine or 10 degrees. You will need those thermals if you
:21:38. > :21:43.out and about. Tonight, we will have some showers. They will drift in
:21:44. > :21:46.from the West and will be some torrential downpours at times, but
:21:47. > :21:50.they will clear in the second part of the night. We may have winter we
:21:51. > :21:55.showers over the Chilterns and Cotswolds. Maybe a dusting of snow
:21:56. > :21:59.here, but it is likely to fall as rain or hail. Temperatures dropped
:22:00. > :22:07.to two or three Celsius. A chilly start tomorrow morning, and the
:22:08. > :22:09.showers will get going once again. A wintry element across Oxfordshire,
:22:10. > :22:15.but elsewhere it will fall as rain or hail. I am not ruling out
:22:16. > :22:19.lightning or funder. A high of eight or nine Celsius. `` funder. ``
:22:20. > :22:29.funder. With winds fairly light, there is a
:22:30. > :22:33.risk of a touch of frost first thing on Sunday morning. Similar
:22:34. > :22:37.temperatures to tonight with lows of 23 Celsius. We are expecting some
:22:38. > :22:43.showers to start the day on Sunday, but Sunday should be an improving
:22:44. > :22:47.picture with a slight ridge of high pressure building in from the south.
:22:48. > :22:51.It will turn more settled in the afternoon, and thence they settled
:22:52. > :22:55.into Monday. This area of low pressure will bring rain in on
:22:56. > :22:59.Tuesday. Let's talk about the weekend because we are expecting
:23:00. > :23:07.some wonder we showers tomorrow. We could have some lightning with that
:23:08. > :23:16.`` thundery showers. A cloudy start to Monday, but a very chilly start,
:23:17. > :23:19.and the risk of a hard frost. A Lexus, thank you. A big night
:23:20. > :23:23.tonight, of course. Running, pedalling, climbing, swimming...
:23:24. > :23:26.Whatever the feat of physical endurance, someone's almost bound to
:23:27. > :23:30.have had a go in aid of BBC Sport Relief today. Thousands of poor and
:23:31. > :23:33.disadvantaged people in the UK and around the world will benefit
:23:34. > :23:35.greatly from what's grown into a hugely enjoyable sporting spectacle.
:23:36. > :23:39.Let's see what people around the South have been doing, starting with
:23:40. > :23:49.a not so mild mannered maths teacher in Berkshire. There was no sign of
:23:50. > :23:53.Mr Dennis' altar ego drawing this maths lesson this morning. It is
:23:54. > :24:00.something he had kept hidden from his students until now.
:24:01. > :24:06.# What does not kill you makes you stronger! This maths teacher by day
:24:07. > :24:16.is a weekend wrestler. Eddie Dennis is a pro. I am a bit more nervous
:24:17. > :24:19.than other shows. I am quite exposed, and it shows a different
:24:20. > :24:27.part of your personality and your life to the kids. Sport Relief is as
:24:28. > :24:33.good a time as any. He helps to boost fundraising efforts by ?2000.
:24:34. > :24:38.The teacher is nothing without respect, but Willie ever live this
:24:39. > :24:44.down? It is great, it is quality because not many teachers do it. I
:24:45. > :24:48.thought he was going to throw the other person into the audience! I
:24:49. > :24:57.definitely will not be doing my homework now! This is my break time.
:24:58. > :25:14.I would get changed quickly and go back to the GCSE maths lesson.
:25:15. > :25:18.Here's a cool teacher, definitely. This primary school in Littlehampton
:25:19. > :25:29.sang their hearts out for Sport Relief. In Southampton, they
:25:30. > :25:42.splashed and laughed their way to the finish line. Children from the
:25:43. > :25:49.school mixed with Rio's hopefuls in 2016. It makes you more aware of
:25:50. > :25:55.what is going on around the world. It was a great day to hop, skip and
:25:56. > :26:02.jump on this beach. Pupils from this primary school took part. Today was
:26:03. > :26:07.not reserved for the young. Elderly residents, volunteers and staff from
:26:08. > :26:15.a care home walked more than a mile along the seafront, collecting many
:26:16. > :26:21.smiles from passers by. They got on their hands and knees at this
:26:22. > :26:27.school. 940 human wheelbarrows were completed for charity. I am so
:26:28. > :26:33.tired! Your hands and wrists really hurt. It is really good and makes
:26:34. > :26:37.people know that people want to do something about it. It is really
:26:38. > :26:45.good. The aim for this year was to cycle, swim or do anything, and that
:26:46. > :26:51.is exactly what people did. Well done to all of you. All that money
:26:52. > :26:56.going to great causes. The programme kicks off straight after this
:26:57. > :27:05.programme, with all sorts of fun things to night. Dell `` there is
:27:06. > :27:17.also the first play of England's World Cup song. Give as a burst!
:27:18. > :27:24.# This is my... You did not join in! You promised you would join in!
:27:25. > :27:27.Bye`bye.
