:00:09. > :00:25.Welcome to the programme. A sombre homecoming. The bodies of five

:00:26. > :00:33.soldiers are repatriated. Another embarrassment for the UK

:00:34. > :00:41.Independence party. Lifting off into a row. Should balloon releases the

:00:42. > :00:46.band? Marine experts say they are being harmful to wildlife. It has to

:00:47. > :00:51.be stopped. It has to be made illegal. From the military to

:00:52. > :01:09.delivering parcels and even pizzas. We take a look at the rise of the

:01:10. > :01:12.drone. In a little over six months, the British military operations in

:01:13. > :01:15.Afghanistan will end but today there was another reminder of the cost in

:01:16. > :01:18.human terms. The bodies of the five servicemen killed in last week's

:01:19. > :01:28.helicopter crash were repatriated to the UK. Family, friends

:01:29. > :01:32.Family, friends and strangers paid their respects to Captain Thomas

:01:33. > :01:34.Clarke, Warrant Officer Spencer Faulkner, Corporal James Walters,

:01:35. > :01:38.Lance Corporal Oliver Thomas and Flight Lieutenant Rakesh Chauhan.

:01:39. > :01:40.Four of the men were from RAF Odiham near Basingstoke. Let's join Steve

:01:41. > :01:49.Humphrey who's at the memorial garden in Carterton, close to RAF

:01:50. > :01:53.Brize Norton. Thousands of people turned up here at Brize Norton late

:01:54. > :01:58.this afternoon to take `` to play their respects to the five

:01:59. > :02:02.servicemen who were killed in that dreadful helicopter crash in

:02:03. > :02:05.Afghanistan 12 days ago. There were colleagues from the RAF and the

:02:06. > :02:13.intelligence corps, and of course, their relatives and friends. Many

:02:14. > :02:22.flowers were placed on the hearses. Amongst the many people here were

:02:23. > :02:28.the families and relatives of a flight officer who was based here.

:02:29. > :02:35.He was incredibly passionate that the RAF, and he was heavily

:02:36. > :02:39.involved, and he just dreams of being in the RAF and serving his

:02:40. > :02:53.country. We are glad that he could do that. His death has had all had

:02:54. > :02:59.an affect on lots of people. He was due to come back in ten days, so he

:03:00. > :03:05.was quite young, and it has been shot, but the same time, I think

:03:06. > :03:10.everybody knows that he knew the risks, and he willingly chose to

:03:11. > :03:14.serve in the RAF. He was at peace with his decision, and we have just

:03:15. > :03:19.proud of him. Pride is the emotion that comes through. There are so

:03:20. > :03:25.many positives to focus on with him, and I think that is what we are

:03:26. > :03:31.trying to do. Also hear today was Roger Williams, the Welsh MP. His

:03:32. > :03:35.research, Oliver Thomas, an intelligence specialist, he was one

:03:36. > :03:41.of the five servicemen who were killed in that helicopter crash. He

:03:42. > :03:45.was now standing young man. He was very popular for all the right

:03:46. > :03:50.reasons. His fathering me up on Sunday morning, and while I believed

:03:51. > :03:56.him, I could not contend it. When he was telling the truth. I could not

:03:57. > :04:02.understand it. There were killed in the helicopter crash. Do we know

:04:03. > :04:08.what went wrong? No, we don't. It happened 11 days ago, involving a

:04:09. > :04:14.Lynx helicopter. Eight full Ministry of Defence investigation is

:04:15. > :04:19.underway. They have described it as a tragic accident. They say it was

:04:20. > :04:29.caused by a technical problem and not by hostile fire.

:04:30. > :04:34.A UKIP council candidate is in the spotlight after posting a comment on

:04:35. > :04:37.Facebook that he "felt like stabbing someone". Matt Ellery, who is

:04:38. > :04:40.standing for Basingstoke and Deane council, also branded local women as

:04:41. > :04:43."pug ugly". It's another social media embarrassment for the party in

:04:44. > :04:46.a town where they hoped to make gains in this month's elections. Joe

:04:47. > :04:50.Campbell reports. It is a corner of Hampshire where

:04:51. > :04:54.you can thought their policies might go down well. But the online views

:04:55. > :05:04.of this UKIP candidate seem to have changed all that. We showed the

:05:05. > :05:10.comments to local electors. It is not nice at all. It is quite scary,

:05:11. > :05:16.actually. What would you do if I told you he was standing for the

:05:17. > :05:22.Council? It is quite stupid. The young man is a candidate for UKIP in

:05:23. > :05:28.the elections. In this area? Brighton Hill. That is terrible.

:05:29. > :05:32.Basingstoke bases its major offices here in the South. But despite its

:05:33. > :05:40.support in the opinion polls, the party lacks the organisation quite a

:05:41. > :05:49.need a major player. That perhaps explains why he has been responding

:05:50. > :05:53.to a series of issues. After ten o'clock at night, people say things

:05:54. > :05:56.that they regret. The BBC has attempted to contact him, but has

:05:57. > :05:59.not received a response. It does seem that officials here in

:06:00. > :06:04.Basingstoke were aware of his presence on social media. But they

:06:05. > :06:10.were assured it was a private matter, and he makes no reference to

:06:11. > :06:16.UK on his Facebook postings. `` the UK Independence party. They said

:06:17. > :06:19.they were tried to get him to tone down his thoughts. That brought a

:06:20. > :06:29.angry response from political opponents. His views about women are

:06:30. > :06:33.unbelievably derogatory. It is not a silly matter. It is a very important

:06:34. > :06:37.matter. It does not excuse the matter at all. He is standing for

:06:38. > :06:42.public office. The party has asked, Who really runs Britain? In

:06:43. > :06:44.Basingstoke, the view may be will they ever get a chance to run the

:06:45. > :06:57.town? Five year old twin girls are at the

:06:58. > :07:00.centre of a court battle because the egg donor who made their births

:07:01. > :07:03.possible is fighting for shared custody. Usually egg donors have no

:07:04. > :07:07.legal status as parents. In a case, first heard at Portsmouth county

:07:08. > :07:10.court the donor argues she helped to bring up the children for the first

:07:11. > :07:17.few years of their lives and should be given parental responsibility.

:07:18. > :07:20.Briony Leyland has more details. Yes, we can't identify those

:07:21. > :07:23.involved for legal reasons but the court heard after being in a

:07:24. > :07:28.relationship for more than a decade one woman donated eggs to another.

:07:29. > :07:32.Twins were born in 2008. The birth mother of the twins says they had

:07:33. > :07:35.ceased to be in a relationship before the babies were born and were

:07:36. > :07:39.simply living together as close friends; the woman who donated the

:07:40. > :07:42.eggs ` the genetic mother ` says that the relationship continued

:07:43. > :07:45.until 2012 when she moved out. The birth mother has since entered into

:07:46. > :07:49.a civil partnership and she and her partner have parental responsibility

:07:50. > :07:52.for the twins. But the woman who was the donor wants that parental

:07:53. > :07:55.responsibility too? Yes, her argument is that she helped to care

:07:56. > :07:59.for the twins during their early years and is their genetic mother.

:08:00. > :08:02.She and the birth mother agreed that she could have contact with the

:08:03. > :08:09.children but she wants more than that ` shared residency which would

:08:10. > :08:14.give her the rights of a parent. And that's being decided by the court?

:08:15. > :08:18.Portsmouth County Court ruled against the donor, but the Court of

:08:19. > :08:20.Appeal has said the case should be looked at again. Experts say it

:08:21. > :08:24.highlights the changing ways families are formed ` they say

:08:25. > :08:32.people going into these kind of agreements often don't think through

:08:33. > :08:36.the legal implications. A lot of people do not know what they are

:08:37. > :08:41.entering. If you donate an egg, you are not considered to be the mother

:08:42. > :08:46.of the child, despite the fact you are and genetically related to the

:08:47. > :08:51.child. You are not the child's mother. We have no rights at all. A

:08:52. > :08:55.lot of people are going into the arrangements with their eyes

:08:56. > :08:58.closed, not realising that. Those involved have been urged to reach

:08:59. > :09:01.agreement to avoid a further hearing ` the appeal court said it was sad

:09:02. > :09:09.to see childhood slipping away whilst energy is devoted to adult

:09:10. > :09:13.wrangles and to litigation. A threat to the environment or a

:09:14. > :09:16.load of hot air? Well, the cruise company Cunard has abandoned plans

:09:17. > :09:19.to release 10,000 balloons following claims that it could harm marine

:09:20. > :09:22.wildlife. The release was part of birthday celebrations for the Queen

:09:23. > :09:25.Mary Two liner but Cunard has become the latest organisation to bow to

:09:26. > :09:26.pressure over what campaigners call "legal littering". Ed Sherry

:09:27. > :09:39.reports. She may have had fireworks for her

:09:40. > :09:43.maiden voyage. But there won't be any balloons at Mary's tenth

:09:44. > :09:54.birthday. Cunard's plans were deflated after pressure from social

:09:55. > :09:59.media. This is a sticky mess of rubber. You would not want to be an

:10:00. > :10:03.animal eating any of these. These years and years old. We are the only

:10:04. > :10:09.direct threat that nature has. We are the spanner in the works. We are

:10:10. > :10:14.already treating this see as a dustbin. For the last ten to 15

:10:15. > :10:21.years, we have seen little levels triple on beaches. In September last

:10:22. > :10:29.year, we recorded over 1100 balloons and balloon pieces. That is just

:10:30. > :10:33.from one weekend. It's thought over 70 per cent of the worlds sea birds

:10:34. > :10:36.have plastic of some kind in their stomachs. But the balloon industry

:10:37. > :10:43.says that isn't down to them. The fact that you find balloons wrapped

:10:44. > :10:50.brown bird is because they are carelessly let go by the general

:10:51. > :10:56.public. That is insignificant to the way that affected the balloons...

:10:57. > :11:01.Six years ago Portsmouth banned mass balloon release from council land,

:11:02. > :11:09.campaigners now want other local authorities to do the same.

:11:10. > :11:11.Still to come, how much do you know about drones? We will look at how

:11:12. > :11:22.people are using them. A support group in Portsmouth for

:11:23. > :11:26.the families of drug addicts says too many relatives are suffering in

:11:27. > :11:29.silence. The city is estimated to have more than 1,200 opiate and

:11:30. > :11:32.crack cocaine users, the fifth highest in the south east. The

:11:33. > :11:35.Rebound Carers Group says shame stops many families getting help and

:11:36. > :11:38.advice. Together with the police and council it's helped bring to the

:11:39. > :11:42.city a play telling the true story of the devastating effects drugs had

:11:43. > :11:49.on a family from Berkshire. Sean Killick reports.

:11:50. > :11:51.You have pushed me to the edge, I am finished with you, completely

:11:52. > :11:55.finished. It's one of the forgotten side`effects of drugs, the damage to

:11:56. > :11:58.the addict's family. But it's been highlighted in this play, "Mum, Can

:11:59. > :12:02.You Lend Me Twenty Quid?", by a woman from Twyford whose son killed

:12:03. > :12:04.himself ten year ago in despair at his heroin addiction. Another

:12:05. > :12:07.mother, whose son has repeatedly been imprisoned due to his drug

:12:08. > :12:14.addiction, explained to South Today the strain on her family. I was

:12:15. > :12:18.panicking all the time and desperate for help but didn't know where,

:12:19. > :12:22.where to go for help. I just felt I couldn't talk to any of my close

:12:23. > :12:26.friends and family because there's a lot of people who'll judge you

:12:27. > :12:33.whether they know you or not and I felt I kind of needed to protect my

:12:34. > :12:37.family from this. One former addict who lives in Portsmouth told me how

:12:38. > :12:47.even the most loving son or daughter can't see the damage they are doing

:12:48. > :12:51.to their family. The main priority of my lovers to take the drugs.

:12:52. > :12:55.Because the draw of the drugs was so strong they were kind of my main

:12:56. > :12:59.priority in my life, to take more drugs, so my family came down the

:13:00. > :13:02.list of priorities in my life. It's only now since I'm in recovery that

:13:03. > :13:06.I've seen other families that are still suffering with their children

:13:07. > :13:09.that I realised kind of what I put my family through. Estimates suggest

:13:10. > :13:12.there are more than 1,200 opiate and crack cocaine users in Portsmouth,

:13:13. > :13:15.and the authorities say they are now putting more emphasis on families.

:13:16. > :13:18.The support people need to build their confidence, build their social

:13:19. > :13:21.skills, education, training, get back into employment does need much

:13:22. > :13:25.longer and much more support around a number of areas and involving the

:13:26. > :13:29.family is key to that. Meanwhile, over the past two years the play

:13:30. > :13:31."Mum, Can You Lend Me Twenty Quid?" Has been performed more than 50

:13:32. > :13:35.times in community centres, re`habilitation units and prisons

:13:36. > :13:39.and is now set to spread its message overseas too. He knew I loved him

:13:40. > :13:42.right up to the end, he knew that he was loved.

:13:43. > :13:45.A former Surrey Police chief inspector has been jailed for a

:13:46. > :13:48.series of fraud offences targeting high street stores. Tanya Brookes

:13:49. > :13:51.was condemned by a judge for bringing "shame" on the police

:13:52. > :13:54.service, using her position to con shops and businesses out of

:13:55. > :13:57.thousands of pounds. She was convicted of more than 30 counts of

:13:58. > :13:59.fraud in total and jailed for two`and`a`half years at Winchester

:14:00. > :14:01.Crown Court. For decades the historical

:14:02. > :14:05.importance of this building behind me has been largely forgotten. Now

:14:06. > :14:07.it's a casino. But it used to be Southampton's main railway station.

:14:08. > :14:09.Today it's significance was officially recognised, as our

:14:10. > :14:15.Transport Correspondent Paul Clifton reports.

:14:16. > :14:18.Marking the significance of a once important building. Southampton

:14:19. > :14:21.Terminus was the main railway centre in the city. Here it is in 1899.

:14:22. > :14:25.Before lorries replaced trains, almost everyone and everything

:14:26. > :14:31.passed through here. The station was badly bombed in 1941. Here it is the

:14:32. > :14:41.day after the station closed in 1966. Soon, it fell into disrepair.

:14:42. > :14:47.Almost 70 years ago, but Moody worked at the station. When I

:14:48. > :14:55.started working, we had four horse drawn vehicles. Even in 1946. Here's

:14:56. > :14:59.the station can be today. Eight former southwestern Hotel stood at

:15:00. > :15:07.the end of the platforms. For 30 years, it was the home of BBC South.

:15:08. > :15:11.Until then, good night. Our first programmes were broadcast from here.

:15:12. > :15:15.Just one track remains, heading through lock gates. Originally, this

:15:16. > :15:18.is where the passengers would have arrived and disembarked in order to

:15:19. > :15:24.join one of the transatlantic liners, including the Titanic.

:15:25. > :15:29.Southampton docks once had ten railway stations. The flying boat

:15:30. > :15:34.had their own platforms. Today, they have all gone. But there is now a

:15:35. > :15:44.reminder of the way things used to be.

:15:45. > :15:52.We are going to swiftly move on to the sport. They missed out on the

:15:53. > :16:04.play`offs, Reading. There will be a lot of changes before they kick off

:16:05. > :16:06.again in August. Four players have been released. That includes Jobi

:16:07. > :16:18.McAnuff. All of the players contracts have

:16:19. > :16:26.been expired and will not be renewed. Former Southampton and

:16:27. > :16:29.England defender Wayne Bridge has announced his retirement. Bridge

:16:30. > :16:32.starred for Southampton in their successful era under Glenn Hoddle

:16:33. > :16:35.and Gordon Strachan and was part of the England world cup squad which

:16:36. > :16:39.went to Japan and South Korea in 2002. He later moved to chelsea and

:16:40. > :16:42.towards the end of his career he's featured for Brighton and this

:16:43. > :16:56.season, Reading. Now a persistent knee injury means he's hanging up

:16:57. > :16:59.his boots. Southampton will resume talks with

:17:00. > :17:02.boss Mauricio Pochettino after this weekend's final league game against

:17:03. > :17:04.Manchester United as they seek to secure their manager's long term

:17:05. > :17:08.future. Pochettino has steered Saints to their highest ever Premier

:17:09. > :17:10.League points total, but his success has brought inevitable attention

:17:11. > :17:13.from other clubs. The club's executive Director Les Reed told

:17:14. > :17:17.last night's Late Kick Off that after the United game, talks would

:17:18. > :17:19.be a priority. As soon as that game is out of the way on Sunday, we will

:17:20. > :17:24.sit down and continue our discussions that we have been having

:17:25. > :17:28.all stop it is not like we have been doing anything about it, but we

:17:29. > :17:32.respected the fact that he wanted to focus. He wanted to achieve these

:17:33. > :17:40.record points, and focus on the games are nothing else. Sussex and

:17:41. > :17:47.Lancashire are involved in a low scoring game at Old Trafford. Sorry

:17:48. > :17:51.are struggling against Kent, with second innings wickets running out,

:17:52. > :18:03.Kent will only have a small target. When the Wright Brothers invented

:18:04. > :18:06.the aeroplane in 1903, most people had no idea just how much it would

:18:07. > :18:09.change our world. Now aviation is changing, with the removal of the

:18:10. > :18:13.pilot. Drones have already changed the face of war. Now they're getting

:18:14. > :18:17.smaller and cheaper, and we could see a lot more of them in our skies.

:18:18. > :18:21.Tom Hepworth has the first of a series of special reports, taking a

:18:22. > :18:36.closer look at drones and what they might mean for us here in the south.

:18:37. > :18:39.This is Tiranis. The most advanced combat aircraft ever built by a

:18:40. > :18:43.British engineer. But look closely, and you will not see a fighter

:18:44. > :18:46.pilot. It could eventually become the known. It was developed here in

:18:47. > :18:49.Farnborough with software that would allow you to choose targets and

:18:50. > :18:53.defend itself against enemy aircraft. A plane invisible to radar

:18:54. > :18:57.that can act autonomously. The army has been flying armed drones in

:18:58. > :19:01.Afghanistan since 2008. The MoD will not reveal how many people they have

:19:02. > :19:08.killed, but over 50,000 hours, they have released 450,000 laser`guided

:19:09. > :19:15.bombs. `` 450. That has saved British lives. Opponents say joined

:19:16. > :19:19.by conflicts more likely. It is too easy to use them, and they could

:19:20. > :19:23.reduce the threshold of going to war. If you do not have any body

:19:24. > :19:27.bags going home, and as I said, no one wants to see our young people

:19:28. > :19:31.being killed in warfare, but if we do not have the threat of body bags,

:19:32. > :19:37.it is all too easy to get into conflicts. Right now, the Army are

:19:38. > :19:43.testing watchkeeper drones over Salisbury Plains. The MOD bought 54.

:19:44. > :19:47.It has cost the taxpayer ?850 million. The army said that it has

:19:48. > :19:50.no plans to arm them. They can carry weapons. The government has ordered

:19:51. > :19:58.1000 new lightweight missiles that can be fired from drones. While the

:19:59. > :20:01.big money goes on research, the technology and know`how eventually

:20:02. > :20:05.filters out to civilian use. You can pick one up for as little as ?50

:20:06. > :20:09.from one supermarket. More sophisticated drones like this one

:20:10. > :20:11.are already widely used in film and photography, capturing shots of this

:20:12. > :20:18.winter's flooding that would not have been able to get a few years

:20:19. > :20:22.ago. It is early days, but drones are now being used commercially.

:20:23. > :20:25.Amazon said it would like to use drones to deliver parcels. But can

:20:26. > :20:35.we expect the pizza delivery man to be put out of a job by drones? At

:20:36. > :20:40.the moment, it is a publicity stunt. The big thing is about where is the

:20:41. > :20:43.risk? He had keep it in your visual line of sight at all times. If

:20:44. > :20:46.you're doing aerial work, and flying close to people, or vessels of

:20:47. > :20:49.properties, you need permission. Two months ago, we saw the first

:20:50. > :20:55.prosecutor for flying drones illegally in the UK. `` posture

:20:56. > :21:00.Police themselves are starting to use them. This is being trialled by

:21:01. > :21:03.Sussex police at Gatwick airport. It is giving an overview of training

:21:04. > :21:10.exercises, and it controls feels close to the runway. `` it controls

:21:11. > :21:13.fields. If drones are used more widely, it could do more. Where

:21:14. > :21:17.traffic accidents, flood and emergency divorces, something like

:21:18. > :21:21.that. They will give a view from the air that I was on the ground can't
