:00:47. > :00:54.And 70 years on ` remembering lives lost when an American

:00:55. > :01:08.He's the multi`millionaire publisher who was knighted

:01:09. > :01:12.Sir John Madejski is both wdalthy and well known but he's not been

:01:13. > :01:16.He's lost more than ?300 million since 2008 and the

:01:17. > :01:19.Reading Football Club chairlan is now in danger of being relegated

:01:20. > :01:23.Sir John will be ranked at 847 when the newspaper publishes

:01:24. > :01:28.An investigation by BBC South has revealed that most

:01:29. > :01:49.Our business correspondent, Alastair Fee has this exclusive report.

:01:50. > :01:58.He is rich and famous. A fl`mboyant character who is generous and has a

:01:59. > :02:03.taste for the high life. In business he is regarded as shrewd and honest,

:02:04. > :02:09.but behind the image these `re tough times for Redding's most

:02:10. > :02:12.recognisable resident. Sincd he made his fortune in printing, Sir John

:02:13. > :02:17.Madejski's interests have bden varied. He became chairman of

:02:18. > :02:25.Redding football club in 1980 and spent millions on the staditm that

:02:26. > :02:35.bears his name. As the UK economy went into decline, so did hhs

:02:36. > :02:39.fortune. He has built up a lixed portfolio of hotels, radio station

:02:40. > :02:43.and property. We have looked at 21 properties he has a share in. Three

:02:44. > :02:50.have gone bust, 17 are making losses and just one is turning a profit.

:02:51. > :02:53.The majorities of the companies he has an interest him has neg`tive net

:02:54. > :02:59.worth. They are worth less now than when he invested in them. There are

:03:00. > :03:04.significant losses. His ventures have included the Sackville property

:03:05. > :03:10.group which reported millions of pounds of loss in 2012. There have

:03:11. > :03:16.been no files since. Redding foot boat club made a loss of ?2.3

:03:17. > :03:20.million last year and there is the hotel and conference centre which

:03:21. > :03:25.turned a corner recording a profit. So how much has Sir John Madejski

:03:26. > :03:31.lost? At its height, the Sunday Times Rich list estimated hd was

:03:32. > :03:39.worth ?400 million. Last ye`r that figure had fallen by 300 million. I

:03:40. > :03:43.have known him for more than a decade and our researchers talked to

:03:44. > :03:48.his advisers each year before we reach our valuation. It is `ll

:03:49. > :03:53.realisable assets we are looking at the market valuation of companies

:03:54. > :04:01.properties. As a businessman, as he lost his touch? He is struggling to

:04:02. > :04:05.balance the books up a moment. He is honest about that, probably thinking

:04:06. > :04:11.at the moment, will I be in the next Rich list rushed to mark it is his

:04:12. > :04:18.investment in property that have been hit hardest. Known as Lr

:04:19. > :04:23.Redding, he had big ambitions for the town. The redevelopment was part

:04:24. > :04:27.of his plans, but in 2011, he pulled out. A look at Sackville properties

:04:28. > :04:34.gives an indication at how luch trouble he is in. Total grotp assets

:04:35. > :04:40.of ?37 million, but that's of 8 million, including 52 mediul pounds

:04:41. > :04:44.owed to Royal Bank of Scotl`nd. We have been unable to establish if

:04:45. > :04:51.that has been paid back. Thd crash in 2008 hit lots of developdrs. I

:04:52. > :04:58.met up with a commercial commentator. Commercial rents in

:04:59. > :05:02.some parts of the country, hncluding the golden corridor, come under

:05:03. > :05:08.pressure still. We are some way of getting a resolution. Companies like

:05:09. > :05:12.Sackville properties have when fitted, but when they are down on

:05:13. > :05:16.their luck and the market slells blood, there is nothing mord

:05:17. > :05:23.unforgiving than commercial developments. This site helps to

:05:24. > :05:29.explain when much of the lost millions went. His printing company

:05:30. > :05:37.was taken over and when it went under he lost ?80 million of his own

:05:38. > :05:47.wealth. It is not known how much Redding football club has cost him.

:05:48. > :05:50.He found a Russian millionahre which went sour. He said he was kden to

:05:51. > :06:00.leave the financial burden behind. It is a concern, because we know the

:06:01. > :06:03.cost of running a full all club is absolutely immense. Of course,

:06:04. > :06:09.people with that sort of money are few and far between. It is critical

:06:10. > :06:17.we find somebody, but the sdarch goes on. Hopes to return to the

:06:18. > :06:21.Premier League with broken when they failed to get into the Premher

:06:22. > :06:25.League. Most people think hd is rich and has lots of money. He h`s never

:06:26. > :06:30.thrown it around, he has always been prudent. But a lot of supporters

:06:31. > :06:38.will want someone to come in and bankroll the club. To compete at

:06:39. > :06:43.this level, you need deep pockets. Where does this leave him? He is

:06:44. > :06:46.still rich but not as comfortably off as he once was. If the

:06:47. > :06:51.commercial property market lakes The Games, that will help but ?300

:06:52. > :06:54.million is a lot to lose, no matter how wealthy you are.

:06:55. > :06:58.South Today approached Sir John Madejski for an interview on three

:06:59. > :07:01.We sent him more than ten detailed questions

:07:02. > :07:05.about his finances, such as whether the RBS bank loan had been repaid.

:07:06. > :07:12.Five people were rescued from flats in Southampton l`st night

:07:13. > :07:16.after a fire started on the fourth floor of the block.

:07:17. > :07:19.60 fire fighters were called to the Northam Estate in South`mpton

:07:20. > :07:23.11 people received treatment at the scene but no one was seriously hurt.

:07:24. > :07:37.The fire, under control and the flats being made safe, but `t its

:07:38. > :07:42.peak, this fire was severe `nd developing. Hampshire Fire Service

:07:43. > :07:47.said it had to be fought aggressively. As the flames spread

:07:48. > :07:51.from a flat to a communal h`llway, people became trapped in thdir

:07:52. > :07:54.homes, seeking safety on thdir balconies. I went to the front door

:07:55. > :08:00.thinking that is where I wotld bleed. I look through the Spice

:08:01. > :08:03.Girls and saw the flames coling across the ceiling and coming to my

:08:04. > :08:07.front door. I close the door behind me and got to the window. Wd banged

:08:08. > :08:13.on the window so the firemen knew we were there. Within five minttes we

:08:14. > :08:20.were out of the property behng taken away from it. The damage was

:08:21. > :08:25.extensive with one flat at ht. The person living here left the front

:08:26. > :08:32.door open as they fled, which meant the fire spread. But other front

:08:33. > :08:35.doors stood up to the flames. What we can see is the differencd closing

:08:36. > :08:40.the door behind you can makd. The properties with the doors closed

:08:41. > :08:47.have limited damage. You ard safer in your flat rather than coling out

:08:48. > :08:54.here. With the clean`up unddr way, residents from five flats bding

:08:55. > :08:54.found temporary accommodation. Investigators are trying to

:08:55. > :09:00.establish how the fire started. Sussex Police are appealing

:09:01. > :09:02.for help in catching a rapist who attacked a wom`n

:09:03. > :09:06.at a cemetery in Littlehampton. The 44`year`old woman had bden

:09:07. > :09:08.sitting on a bench in the cemetery off Horsham Road

:09:09. > :09:11.on the evening of May 3rd. She reported

:09:12. > :09:13.the attack four days later. Detectives say the man was of mixed

:09:14. > :09:18.race, in his early 20s with short dark hair, spoke broken English

:09:19. > :09:28.and was wearing dark clothing. New investment, new jobs,

:09:29. > :09:30.new planes. There was an optimistic outlook this

:09:31. > :09:31.morning from organisers of July's Farnborough Air Show,

:09:32. > :09:34.the industry's showpiece evdnt. Joe Campbell has been getting

:09:35. > :09:47.a preview. Things have gone a long way since

:09:48. > :09:55.these were the state`of`the`art aircraft. The show itself knows it

:09:56. > :09:58.must move with the times. Shmply putting aircraft into the ahr and

:09:59. > :10:03.saying how fantastic it is, is no longer good enough. We have to look

:10:04. > :10:08.around at Goodwood, Silverstone and suchlike, to realise we need to

:10:09. > :10:11.raise the bar. Planes remain the unique selling point but thd public

:10:12. > :10:18.will find extra seating and new presenters using X screen TVs to

:10:19. > :10:23.link into the usual displays. While it has been the aircraft of the past

:10:24. > :10:29.on display here, the big attraction will be the plane of the future The

:10:30. > :10:34.F 35 will make its debut outside the US at the show. It is the fhrst

:10:35. > :10:40.operational aircraft cake double of doing short`stay calf and l`nding.

:10:41. > :10:49.With HMS Queen Elizabeth naling ceremony, the 35 will make hts

:10:50. > :10:52.international debut also in July. One piece of the future has arrived

:10:53. > :10:57.in the shape of new, permandnt exhibition facilities. The

:10:58. > :11:00.developments of facilities on the site which can be used at other

:11:01. > :11:05.times, increases the viabilhty of the airshow. That should link

:11:06. > :11:10.Farnborough and flying for lany years to come.

:11:11. > :11:15.Why the World Cup in Rio will be extra special

:11:16. > :11:21.Next week voters go to the polls for the European elections

:11:22. > :11:25.and tonight we start a serids of features examining how the EU

:11:26. > :11:29.So how is money from Brussels spent locally?

:11:30. > :11:30.We've been looking at a cross`channel project that

:11:31. > :11:34.could help prevent coastal flooding that wouldn't be happening without

:11:35. > :11:37.Researchers are examining old paintings of the Isle of Wight to

:11:38. > :11:41.see how artists have capturdd the coastline over the last 200 years.

:11:42. > :11:43.It's hoped that by studying past changes, better flood plans

:11:44. > :11:48.Ed Sherry has been to meet the Hampshire charity

:11:49. > :11:56.This steel engraving by William Westall from 1838 is called

:11:57. > :12:00.Ventnor from a Hill above the Cove. Ignore the buildings

:12:01. > :12:07.and you can see how over 174 years the cliffs

:12:08. > :12:17.Where we are now is built on past changes, different climate change

:12:18. > :12:24.and different effects. The cash has come from the European development

:12:25. > :12:26.fund. Similar work is being done along northern France, in Bdlgium

:12:27. > :12:33.and in the Netherlands. We have tried to get the types we c`n assess

:12:34. > :12:37.and demonstrate the value of using these tools, covering all p`rts of

:12:38. > :12:43.the coastline in the southern North Sea and English Channel reghon. A

:12:44. > :12:47.database of paintings is behng set up to allow coastal managers and

:12:48. > :12:52.engineers to see how the landscape is changing and help plan coastal

:12:53. > :12:58.development. The work is behng led by the Hampshire `based Marhtime

:12:59. > :13:03.trust and they have received over ?1 million of European funds. We

:13:04. > :13:08.survive on those funds and the European funds are very cord to

:13:09. > :13:12.that. We have a lot of expertise in the UK. Expertise we can sh`re with

:13:13. > :13:17.our European colleagues. Thd charity says the UK as a whole recehves more

:13:18. > :13:21.money from Europe and it paxs in. The funding helps to better

:13:22. > :13:26.understand a common European heritage.

:13:27. > :13:29.Money for that project comes from a huge pot.

:13:30. > :13:32.The EU budget for the next seven years has been

:13:33. > :13:37.The biggest amount of around a third will go on what's called "cohesion".

:13:38. > :13:39.That's funding for countries and regions that are economhcally

:13:40. > :13:42.For the first time the over`ll EU budget was cut

:13:43. > :13:46.The Greens voted against th`t, arguing for a freeze instead,

:13:47. > :13:56.because they were worried about the impact on overseas aid.

:13:57. > :14:06.We have a position as the ntmber`1 on the planet. I think that carries

:14:07. > :14:09.a responsibility, help others. The result of the cut has been we are

:14:10. > :14:14.giving less money to people who need it. I didn't want that to h`ppen. I

:14:15. > :14:18.didn't want people to go hungry There are a number

:14:19. > :14:20.of smaller parties also on the European ballot paper, incltding the

:14:21. > :14:23.Socialist Party who have a full list They're campaigning

:14:24. > :14:41.for what they're calling To claim you can run this in the

:14:42. > :14:42.interests of the people, yot cannot do that, it is based on

:14:43. > :14:47.exploitation. We'll be hearing more

:14:48. > :14:49.from the other parties in the run up There is a full list of European

:14:50. > :14:54.candidates on the BBC website. And on Friday we'll be lookhng at

:14:55. > :14:57.whether hotels across Europd should Hundreds of patients with sdvere

:14:58. > :15:09.depression and anxiety are being offered a new kind of treatlent

:15:10. > :15:12.in Hampshire ` singing in a choir. It's hoped that communal singing

:15:13. > :15:14.will help improve About 400 patients will be offered

:15:15. > :15:17.the therapy, including young mums Our Health Correspondent,

:15:18. > :15:32.David Fenton reports. This is an unusual quiet because

:15:33. > :15:37.most of the people here cannot sing. Or think they can't. Some of the

:15:38. > :15:46.group have mental health problems and they are hoping this will help.

:15:47. > :15:50.We hope it when fits our patients by releasing some of their anxhety and

:15:51. > :15:56.distress, building up their confidence and giving them hope and

:15:57. > :15:58.a sense of purpose. Julie h`d severe depression and anxiety for three and

:15:59. > :16:03.anxiety for three and a half years. She has written poems about it will

:16:04. > :16:08.stop for three months she could not leave her bedroom, let alond the

:16:09. > :16:12.house. I thought I was going to faint, felt as though somebody was

:16:13. > :16:18.strangling me and felt inst`ntly sick. It took over my life. Today,

:16:19. > :16:22.Julie has joined in the chohr and they are getting into the flow and

:16:23. > :16:31.enjoying it. It gets rid of my agitation and anxiousness. Ht

:16:32. > :16:37.releases a lot of energy, strplus energy you have got. They h`ve been

:16:38. > :16:50.practising for an hour and they are just about to start singing.

:16:51. > :17:08.The power of singing certainly makes you feel better. We have had some

:17:09. > :17:12.breaking news? Bournemouth fans might not want to hear about Lewis

:17:13. > :17:19.grab one. They have confirmdd they have accepted a bid from Cardiff.

:17:20. > :17:23.The player only signed a new three and a half year contract in January

:17:24. > :17:28.after turning down a move to Brighton. He scored 22 goals in his

:17:29. > :17:29.first season in the championship. Cardiff have just dropped ott of the

:17:30. > :17:35.Premier League. All of us sports fans are gdtting

:17:36. > :17:38.excited about the World Cup, but one family from Hampshire have

:17:39. > :17:42.a very special reason for bding so. Connor Gardner has been picked to be

:17:43. > :17:45.a flag bearer for England's opening game of the World Cup in Br`zil

:17:46. > :17:48.and all because he selflessly gave up some of his formative ye`rs to

:17:49. > :17:52.care for his mum. I've been to a charity in the

:17:53. > :18:05.New Forest today to find out more. Football dominates his life, but he

:18:06. > :18:09.is off to Brazil on the trip of a lifetime. I am a bit nervous, never

:18:10. > :18:14.been on a flight for this long. I said to him, you have been given the

:18:15. > :18:20.opportunity to be a flag be`rer But he did not leave me. It is this

:18:21. > :18:27.special bond that has brought this World Cup dream alive. His lum was

:18:28. > :18:32.diagnosed with MS a few years ago, and he has been taking care of her.

:18:33. > :18:40.I have stayed in and taken care of her. The honeypot children's charity

:18:41. > :18:47.was there to help him. I usdd to be lonely, I didn't go out bec`use I

:18:48. > :18:50.wanted to help my mum. They have left to me to have free timd. After

:18:51. > :18:54.four years attending their respite centre, it was the charity that

:18:55. > :19:03.nominated him for the prize. Who have you got your hopes up `bout

:19:04. > :19:09.meeting? Steven Gerrard. Wh`t do your friends think about thhs? They

:19:10. > :19:16.don't believe me. Swapping the tranquil of the New Forest for the

:19:17. > :19:20.exuberance of Brazil, is an experience he will never forget He

:19:21. > :19:23.is excited, Hampshire batsman Michael C`rberry

:19:24. > :19:25.says he thinks the change of England coaching staff is a key factor

:19:26. > :19:28.behind him being brought back Carberry was outspoken

:19:29. > :19:31.against the previous regime, criticising a lack of communication

:19:32. > :19:32.when he was dropped from thd team. But after being recalled

:19:33. > :19:36.for the upcoming one`day and T2 series against Sri Lanka,

:19:37. > :19:54.he's delighted that all parties It was me expressing my opinion

:19:55. > :19:56.which I am entitled to. We have had a chat since and the lines of

:19:57. > :20:00.communication have deemed bdtter. I will be playing at the top of the

:20:01. > :20:01.order. It is one of the things they have been looking at and sed how I

:20:02. > :20:08.go again Sri Lanka. Despite another week

:20:09. > :20:10.of rain`affected matches, both Surrey and Hampshire recorddd wins

:20:11. > :20:12.in cricket's County Championship. A century from captain Graele Smith

:20:13. > :20:16.led Surrey to a tricky`lookhng At Hove, plenty of rain and a very

:20:17. > :20:20.flat wicket meant a high`scoring Meanwhile, Hampshire is top

:20:37. > :20:37.held for those who lost thehr lives when an American bombdr crash

:20:38. > :20:42.landed on Chichester 70 years ago. The crew

:20:43. > :20:44.of the plane successfully b`iled out but three civilians were killed

:20:45. > :20:45.including a 14`year`old girl. Relatives of the bomber pilot

:20:46. > :21:05.travelled from the United States The beat 24 Liberator was c`pable of

:21:06. > :21:10.long distances and carrying heavy loads of bombs. Dozens set off

:21:11. > :21:14.across the Channel to one r`ilway yards in central France. Endmy fire

:21:15. > :21:21.up the damage this plane and they aborted their mission. The pilots,

:21:22. > :21:26.Joseph Duncan nursed the pl`ne towards the south coast but a fire

:21:27. > :21:32.broke out on board. It's got worse and got over land and told his crew

:21:33. > :21:38.to bail out. He turned the `eroplane back out to sea and then he left.

:21:39. > :21:44.All ten members of the crew survived but the plane did not crash over the

:21:45. > :21:49.sea. It's damaged engines ttrned it 180 degrees taking it inland. It

:21:50. > :21:55.crashed in the centre of Chhchester on wartime allotments and a laundry

:21:56. > :22:01.filled with workers. I remelber this massive ball of flame. It is a thing

:22:02. > :22:05.you never forget. I remember feeling the heat from the flames as well. I

:22:06. > :22:11.ran home and my mother was running to meet me. We thought it h`d been a

:22:12. > :22:18.bomb dropped. We heard later it had been a crash. There is a short act

:22:19. > :22:22.of remembrance... 70 years on, the events are remembered at thd

:22:23. > :22:28.graveside of 14`year`old mate Granger who had been underw`y to see

:22:29. > :22:34.her mother. This man wrote ` history of the crash and he tracked down the

:22:35. > :22:40.family of the pilot. His son came to represent his father, who is now 93.

:22:41. > :22:48.The British and Americans wdre great friends. They were allies. Ht is the

:22:49. > :22:54.tragedy of the war, I guess. He did what he could. It wasn't enough but

:22:55. > :23:04.yes, he went on to keep fighting. Keep the bad guys back.

:23:05. > :23:19.High pressure is in charge of the weather. We do have some lovely

:23:20. > :23:26.weather pictures sent it. A stroll in the sunshine at Poole
