News at 6.00pm. For this evening, it's goodbye are from me, on BBC One | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
In tonight's programme: we | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
A city says sorry ` Southampton s failings led to widespread child | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
The sad reality is that Southampton City Council, | :00:10. | :00:17. | |
and I apologise on behalf of them for it, failed these childrdn. | :00:18. | :00:22. | |

One little girl covered in more than 90 bruises. | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
A family of children sexually abused. | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
Two little brothers killed by neglect. | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
Today, Southampton City Council apologised for failings | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
which could have prevented this suffering, these deaths. | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
Three serious case reviews were published today, outlining | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
a shocking catalogues of fahlings between 2006 and 2012 by thd city's | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
Our home affairs corresponddnt Emma Vardy reports. | :01:34. | :01:50. | |
These brothers died three months apart. A six`year`old girl was found | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
with drugs in her system and 90 bruises. And a family of seven | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
children were taken into care after being sexually abused by thdir | :02:02. | :02:10. | |
father. I apologise on behalf of the Council for it. We filled these | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
children and nothing can be done to change that now. The opporttnities | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
have been missed. What we are desperately trying to do is to take | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
the opportunity to make surd no further children are placed in any | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
greater risk. Southampton Chty Council says it has made ch`nges to | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
the way it's Children's Services are run. There are less temporary staff | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
and lower case loads. It has taken a huge overhaul. But there ard still | :02:45. | :02:55. | |
two more serious case reviews to be published. Questions over why it | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
took so long for the problels to be addressed. | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
Well, since those cases, Sotthampton City Council has appointed | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
What guarantee can you give your now that this will not happen again I | :03:09. | :03:28. | |
would like to personally apologise on behalf of the Council for the | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
feelings in the tragic deaths of the children and the harm caused to the | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
others. I think it has been my role to ensure that improvements have | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
been put in place. For example, when I first came into place, half of the | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
social workers were agency staff. Today, nine out of ten are permanent | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
employees. So can you guarantee this won't happen again with the new | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
people? I don't think you c`n guarantee it won't happen again but | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
my responsibility is to minhmise the risk. Were you shocked by this? You | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
have a background in this job. Where you shocked by what was going on or | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
what wasn't going on? If yot read this serious case reviews, xou can't | :04:25. | :04:33. | |
feel to be distressed. I thhnk what is important is that I take | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
responsibility for improving the service in future. I think dverybody | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
is distressed and I'm sure people watching tonight are. Where you | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
shocked that it wasn't pickdd up and nothing was done? I was personally | :04:47. | :04:57. | |
shocked but I must use the opportunity to improve servhces for | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
the children of Southampton. An example is that you will sed from | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
the serious case review that officials did not communicate | :05:06. | :05:14. | |
effectively. We have brought forward a safeguarding hub so professionals | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
can share information and share information about risks. Two | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
children died from neglect, sexual abuse, 90 bruises... Why hasn't | :05:28. | :05:36. | |
anyone been disciplined? Understanding the point of the | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
serious case review, which hs difficult to understand, is making | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
sure we learn the lessons. Has anyone been disciplined or loved | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
from their post? We have bedn able to implement a completely ndw senior | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
management team. We now havd a workforce that is permanent. I | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
appreciate that. I just need to challenge you on this. Will anyone | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
be disciplined? If I felt the need to, I would. We need to enstre that | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
we performance manage our staff and that is as true as it is for us as | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
It is now six days, almost to the hour, that | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
a nurse called Rui Li left Poole Hospital at the end of her shift. | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
This evening, detectives continue to interview | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
Our reporter Joe Campbell is in Poole. | :06:40. | :06:46. | |

quiet suburb has come as a shock to many in this quiet suburb. Dveryday | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
I saw her. She was doing solething in the garden and was always very | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
nice. I thought she was much younger than watching was. She lookdd | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
young. What has it been likd adding this news? Very sad. She had a nice | :07:55. | :08:02. | |
reputation. People like her. I can't imagine anybody killing her, but | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
obviously somebody has. Polhce have been busy at this garage and | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
Boscombe. `` in Boscombe. This afternoon, specialist teams with | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
sniffer dogs arrived. They had been searching woodlands behind the house | :08:21. | :08:33. | |
as they hunt for Rui Li continues. A 16`year`old man remains in custody. | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
In the last few minutes, police teams have gone into the woods | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
behind me. Rui Li's teenage daughter is being comforted by familx or use | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
on staff. It was hard who r`ised the alarm. | :08:49. | :08:51. | |

property ladder thanks to the Help To Buy mortgage guarantee scheme. | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
Figures released by the Tre`sury show that 482 sales in the | :09:17. | :09:19. | |

Still to come in this evening's South Tod`y: | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
In full bloom ` Chichester Cathedral celebrates with | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
Each day, families in the South are affected by road accidents. | :10:16. | :10:23. | |
In 2012, there were more than 900 accidents | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
in Dorset, 1800 in West Sussex, and more than 3000 in Hampshire | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
But statistics don't convey the whole story. | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
Evey Staley was ten years old when she was killed in | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
Today, families gathered on the island, to set up a new charity to | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
support victims and highlight the dangers of this everyday tr`gedy. | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
20 months ago, Evey and her parents were | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
As they pulled out of the driveway, the car was hit at speed | :10:55. | :11:02. | |
Evey was in the back and died instantly. | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
Life stopped for us on that day in August 2012. | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
This is very much why we want to start this charity, | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
to stop this happening to other families on the island. | :11:16. | :11:24. | |
Evey's tragic loss and the crumpled remains | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
of the family car have alre`dy been used by Hampshire Police | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
Now the family wants to build on this work. | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
Today, the first steps in setting tp a road | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
Anne and Melvin Campbell were at today's meeting. | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
They lost their son in a car accident 13 years `go. | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
Not a day goes by where you do not think of them. | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
I think they are very brave, because I couldn't have dond it | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
You are in a state of shock for years afterwards. | :11:59. | :12:11. | |
Police are supportive of the charity and will work with | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
It is not just us through drink`driving that have | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
It is multiple other familids on the Isle | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
of Wight that have been affdcted by people's standard of driving | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
That's something we want to address and educate people on. | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
There is no name or logo for the charity yet. | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
But today's families are already united in a single aim, | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
and that's to get every single driver on the island thinking more | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
about safety every time thex get behind the wheel. | :12:45. | :12:54. | |
Do you trust them to look after your money? | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
Do you trust them to protect you from fraud? | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
And if you are targeted by scammers, do you trust | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
Well, it's been claimed tod`y that a fraudulent bank account, set up | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
to scam thousands of pounds from unknowing members of the public | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
was allowed to remain open for ten days after first being reported | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
Ten days ago, teacher from Hampshire received a call. The person on the | :13:16. | :13:31. | |
end of the line weren't that his had been compromised and he shotld | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
transfer his money. They evdn offered on a cruise as a reward I | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
knew that no bank gives of loney. I knew for certain that it was a | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
scam. Peter reported at an dxpected their account to be closed. A BBC | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
reporter tried to pay ?1 into the account. It was only ten daxs later | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
that the account had been frozen. Please serious `` Barclays say the | :13:57. | :14:10. | |
combat fraud with technologx. Jenny from Christchurch transferrdd over | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
?60,000. I thought they would give Jenny Ecole. `` the call. Whth the | :14:16. | :14:30. | |
line still connected, I answered the call. I really could not believe | :14:31. | :14:40. | |
that I had fallen victim to this. I didn't want to go out. I felt | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
ashamed and stupid. Jenny eventually got her money back but hopes more is | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
done to protect others. We `re working closely with phone providers | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
to change this. Luckily for Peter, he spotted the scam and can afford | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
Much of the South's wildlifd was really set back by the long wet | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
For this week's Finn's Country, Roger has been hearing | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
After years of dramatic decline their numbers had been recovering. | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
I reckon that's one of the best views in Southern Dngland. | :15:21. | :15:32. | |
For many years, a group of people have been working | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
to turn that entire area into a huge wildlife haven. | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
Right beside the busy railway line from @rundel | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
It's a nature reserve, one of many here, and is managed | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
I'm being given a tour by Mike Russell. | :15:57. | :16:06. | |
He trained in law but he gave it up 30 years ago to work with whldlife. | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
People know it as mayblossol, but it is actually hawthorn. | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
Mike is setting traps for voles to see how many there are and how they | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
are faring, because they ard a vital food for barn owls. | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
This area was very flooded last year, and so the voles moved away, | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
so barn owl numbers have dropped over the last two years. | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
They used to be common in the first half of the 21st Century. | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
In the second half, when agriculture started to intensify, | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
plus losing barns and hedgerows they were losing habitat. | :16:44. | :16:45. | |
The good news is that the r`vages of the winter don't seem to have had | :16:46. | :17:07. | |
a lasting effect on many other creatures. | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
We've lost so much of our wdtland and this is a great place for | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
so many species of bird, especially in winter when it floods. | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
But you get all sorts of wildlife here. | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
There are all sorts of bushds and scrubs around. | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
This is a sedge warbler, recently arrived from Afric`. | :17:24. | :17:25. | |
This is his courtship song and has territorial song. | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
He is marking his territory from the others. | :17:29. | :17:42. | |
Mike, I know this is the Sussex Wildlife Trust, but there is | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
Arun is a wonderful area for wildlife, but in the past it | :17:46. | :17:53. | |
We are working with our partners at the RSPB and Arun Wetland Trust | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
as part of the Living Landscape project. | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
It is to connect patches of land so that wildlife has | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
the ability to colonise and create a self`functioning ecosystel. | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
In a sense, the wildlife can look after itself | :18:13. | :18:14. | |
instead of being heavily managed by organisations like us. | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
South Today viewer Mick Janner captured this rare footage of a barn | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
The hope is that, as the Living Landscapes project progressds, this | :18:24. | :18:31. | |
You get wonderful light on this reserve. | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
It is a great place to see them swoop over the grass | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
Roger Finn there, really enjoying his job. | :18:41. | :18:54. | |
Now you may remember that, over the last few weeks, Roger has | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
been showing us some of the tools he has found at the Rural Life Centre, | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
in Farnham, and challenging us to guess what they are. | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
Here he is with a reminder of last week's item, and the answer. | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
A log of wood with spikes on the bottom to hold it in place. | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
Then a blade here, and a groove down the side. | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
That is a spill, a little t`per that you use for lighting fhres | :19:17. | :19:39. | |
Oxford`based London Welsh are now within touching distance | :19:40. | :19:45. | |

Owais Shah will remain with the Royals for the remainder | :20:33. | :20:39. | |

of which was due to be against his old club Essex tomorrow. | :20:44. | :20:51. | |
Kevin Peterson will play for Surrey tomorrow night against Middlesex. | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
If you've travelled to the Hsle of Wight by car or ferry | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
during the last few years, you may well have noticed a charity | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
Southampton's Gus McKechnie set himself a target | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
of cycling 50,000 miles while the ferry sailed back and forth | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
Today, for the last 100, Gus, who has cerebral palsy, | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
was on dry land at the ferrx terminal to complete his ch`llenge | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
raising money for several charities in the past three and a half years. | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
Effectively, there is a distance of twice around the equator. | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
Having a disability, I don't think I would ever have got that far. | :21:26. | :21:40. | |
Well done, Gus! A fantastic effort. He has raised thousands for | :21:41. | :22:09. | |
charity. Get well soon, look sure. High pressure starts to build | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
tomorrow, but there is the risk of one or two thundery downpours. | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
Possible thunderstorms overnight, the Met office have a yellow warning | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
in force. Heavy rain is expdcted until 10:00pm, which could cause | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
localised flooding. Shoppers will ease through the night and we will | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
see one or two clear spells, but there is a lot of cloud | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
across`the`board. Mild tempdratures overnight, with lows between 11 and | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
13 Celsius. The winds fairlx light and variable. High pressure will | :22:48. | :22:56. | |
build towards the North tomorrow. We start with patchy rain or drizzle in | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
the morning. That will break in the afternoon to allow for sunshine and | :23:02. | :23:09. | |
