:01:59.:02:05.

review says each allegation was considered in isolation and there

:02:06.:02:08.

was no system for joining them up, the opportunity for joint working

:02:09.:02:11.

between agencies was missed and protecting potential victims was

:02:12.:02:17.

also an issue. West Sussex County Council social workers concdntrated

Council social workers concentrated on the safety of certain iddntified

been acted upon. They say it was an unusual case and they did not grasp

:03:31.:03:34.

the complex reality of what was happening early enough.

:03:35.:03:41.

Police have sealed off an area around a block of flats in Fareham

is covering these green fields with concrete and tarmac and housing

results in much more water running off the land, rather than soaking

areas. James Ingham reports. This busy recruitment firm in

This busy recruitment firm hn Portsmouth is using the Internet

:07:55.:07:55.

Portsmouth is using the Intdrnet more and more as it tries to

:07:56.:07:58.

innovate and compete, which is why it is investing in a superf`st

:07:59.:08:03.

broadband connection. It is one of the first businesses to get

:08:04.:08:07.

financial help with setup costs from the City Council. It's what we all

:08:08.:08:14.

do, what our clients need, what our candidates need. It's a hugd benefit

:08:15.:08:19.

to have what can be at best, the fastest, the spokes of this in the

:08:20.:08:22.

marketplace. We want to do that with all the services we provide.

:08:23.:08:28.

Portsmouth City Council belheve that if more small and medium`sized

:08:29.:08:31.

companies commit to getting superfast broadband, the whole

:08:32.:08:35.

city's economy will grow. So far only four companies have applied for

:08:36.:08:37.

a grant to help them improve their a grant to help them improvd their

:08:38.:08:41.

connectivity but the City Council believes more than 1000 may

:08:42.:08:48.

potentially benefit. It will put more infrastructure in the ground,

:08:49.:08:51.

make those business premises much more desirable social of those

:08:52.:08:55.

businesses change, move on, they are leaving behind promises that already

:08:56.:08:59.

have got really good connectivity behind. So it will all go to promote

:09:00.:09:05.

the city. On the other side of Hampshire, rural businesses want

:09:06.:09:10.

more help to. At this architects, they are forced to post doctments

they are forced to post documents rather than sent them onlind. When

:09:31.:09:36.

could take hours. In Portsmouth it could take hours. In Portsmouth it

could take minutes. Hampshire County Council and BT will roll out

Residents didn't feel safe, children wouldn't go on the road because of

these archers are all either blind or visually impaired. I thought it

practising together at the Bournemouth Society for the visually

impaired, following a collaboration between the Steve Balmer fotndation

:18:43.:18:50.

and a local club. We set up a foundation in honour of my son who

was killed in a car crash. We decided to set up a sports

foundation asked for provishon to be foundation asked for provision to be

to do this? No, I didn't thhnk visually impaired people would be

doing archery. I'd never heard of it before. So I thought, I will give it

a go! We just initially set them up, they get a few arose to set
