Hello I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today.

:00:00.:00:00.

In despair ` the talented vholinist who killed herself just days after

:00:00.:00:09.

giving evidence against the teacher who abused her as a child.

:00:10.:00:15.

Living the nightmare ` the flooded out residents of Buckskin,

:00:16.:00:18.

still unable to return home five months on.

:00:19.:00:36.

Share and share alike ` can Bournemouth succeed where others

:00:37.:00:41.

have failed with its car sh`re scheme?

:00:42.:00:43.

And next stop Neverland ` the youngsters thinking happy thoughts

:00:44.:00:46.

as they fly into an ambitiots school production of Peter Pan.

:00:47.:00:51.

It will feel magical becausd not every child gets to fly.

:00:52.:01:06.

The husband of a talented vholinist has told an inquest how his wife

:01:07.:01:09.

sank into despair ` after tdstifying against the teacher who had abused

:01:10.:01:13.

her as a child. Frances Andrade from Guildford, took a drugs

:01:14.:01:17.

overdose soon after giving dvidence at a trial in January last xear A

:01:18.:01:20.

serious case review later found that she had been let down as an adult by

:01:21.:01:24.

mental health services. Davd Guest reports.

:01:25.:01:36.

Frances Andrade was a gifted musician who had experienced a

:01:37.:01:41.

troubled childhood. As a tednager, she was abused by her tutor in

:01:42.:01:50.

Manchester. Frances Andrade had kept that abuse a secret for dec`des

:01:51.:01:56.

Then a friend reported it to the police and Frances Andrade had to

:01:57.:02:00.

confront her past. The man was put on trial in 2013 but within days of

:02:01.:02:05.

testifying against him, Frances Andrade was dead. Her husband,

:02:06.:02:12.

himself a musician, today told an inquest his wife fell into despair

:02:13.:02:16.

because she had had to recall those horrible memories from the past He

:02:17.:02:21.

said that after giving eviddnce his weight had been in a low mood. She

:02:22.:02:27.

said she felt the barrister had attacked her personally. Shd felt it

:02:28.:02:31.

was she who was on trial, and not him. On returning home, his wife had

:02:32.:02:38.

stayed in her bed. He told the inquest that in one morning he found

:02:39.:02:44.

her lying still and cold. She had taken an overdose of medication that

:02:45.:02:50.

had been prescribed for him. She did not live to see her abuser convicted

:02:51.:02:57.

and jailed. The inquest will resume later this week in walking. This is

:02:58.:03:01.

not the first time the case of Frances Andrade has been

:03:02.:03:10.

scrutinised. `` Woking. Hers was a death which could have been

:03:11.:03:16.

prevented, she had been let down by mental health services. Her husband

:03:17.:03:21.

says the trauma of reliving her troubled past was the sole reason

:03:22.:03:22.

for his wife's distress. For most people in the region, the

:03:23.:03:28.

recent fine and warm weather means the storms and the flooding of last

:03:29.:03:31.

winter are now a distant melory But some of those directly affected are

:03:32.:03:34.

still living with the damagd and distress the weather caused. At

:03:35.:03:37.

Buckskin in Basingstoke, more than 80 homes had to be evacuated after

:03:38.:03:40.

being filled with sewage`contaminated water. Nearly

:03:41.:03:42.

five months on, some people are not yet back in their homes and others

:03:43.:03:44.

never will be. Sally, the skip just beyond us

:03:45.:04:05.

here, evidence that this disaster is still not over. As you can see,

:04:06.:04:10.

there are lots of houses whhch remain empty, awaiting work to get

:04:11.:04:14.

them ready for people to move in once more. Work to repair this home

:04:15.:04:24.

was well under way today. She has spent 97 days in a hotel room and is

:04:25.:04:29.

now squeezed into a small btngalow. A return to her own home cannot come

:04:30.:04:36.

soon enough. Hi have done is fight. They have not offered us addquate

:04:37.:04:46.

accommodation. `` all I havd done is fight. I got to the point I could

:04:47.:04:54.

not take any more. It has bden a horrific time for us both. With

:04:55.:05:00.

electrics still and said, they have been relying on generators. It has

:05:01.:05:07.

been hard going. It has been challenging. At no point have we had

:05:08.:05:14.

homes free in the can't for people to move into. Some have been lucky

:05:15.:05:21.

enough to get a temporary home early on. The question is do they want to

:05:22.:05:28.

return to Buckskin? Our main concern is for the children. You want the

:05:29.:05:35.

best for the kids. You want them to be settled in school more than

:05:36.:05:39.

anything. Two of the oldest are struggling to get up early to get to

:05:40.:05:45.

school every day. The two lhttle ones have to get taxis everx day. We

:05:46.:05:51.

were told that the river runs underneath as, so it could happen

:05:52.:06:00.

again. For some residents, doubts loom large. Look at that. Wd asked

:06:01.:06:05.

for this to be cleared and ht still has not been. We had reigned ten

:06:06.:06:10.

dates ago and the car park was starting to flood. `` we had rain

:06:11.:06:22.

ten days ago. They are not maintaining the drains. I h`ve

:06:23.:06:28.

spoken to residents who say they feel they could become victhms to

:06:29.:06:35.

local criminals who are bre`king into their sheds at night to steal

:06:36.:06:36.

the few possessions they have. Government ministers have bden

:06:37.:06:42.

fronting news conferences across the South today trumpeting the

:06:43.:06:44.

allocation of hundred of millions of pounds to local enterprise

:06:45.:06:47.

partnerships in so`called Growth Deals. It'll be spent on projects

:06:48.:06:49.

designed to stimulate busindss and create thousands of jobs and homes.

:06:50.:06:51.

But just how good a deal is it? Our Business Correspondent Alastair Fee

:06:52.:06:55.

has been taking a look. Let's take a look at some of the

:06:56.:07:02.

headlines first. South Hampshire is getting the biggest slice of the

:07:03.:07:05.

cash in the region, ?46 million in this initial wave of funding. In

:07:06.:07:08.

Hampshire, ?15 million will go towards moving and modernishng the

:07:09.:07:13.

Red Funnel ferry terminals hn Southampton and East Cowes. And

:07:14.:07:16.

there's nearly ?20 million for preliminary work on the Stubbington

:07:17.:07:20.

bypass ` to try and ease congestion in Gosport and Fareham. How this

:07:21.:07:23.

money is spent will be decided locally, something that Caroline

:07:24.:07:27.

Dineage, the Conservative MP for This is the money we are all

:07:28.:07:39.

celebrating because it is the end of the culture of Whitehall knows best

:07:40.:07:45.

and giving us the decision`laking into the hands of local authorities.

:07:46.:07:48.

Elsewhere, ?24 million will go to Dorset ` there are plans to improve

:07:49.:07:51.

the Bournemouth Spur Road and access routes to the airport and Poole

:07:52.:07:54.

port. Of the ?44 million allocated to Sussex, there's money av`ilable

:07:55.:07:56.

to ease congestion on the A29 at Bognor and build flood defences in

:07:57.:08:00.

Shoreham. And in Berkshire, there's money for road improvements to

:08:01.:08:02.

benefit business and open up housing developments in Bracknell and

:08:03.:08:04.

Newbury. The Government says these projects will create thousands of

:08:05.:08:07.

new jobs, and breathe new lhfe into the local economy. In the rdgion

:08:08.:08:10.

today was the Business Secrdtary, Vince Cable.

:08:11.:08:21.

There is a pot of money in the order of ?2 billion, for the next

:08:22.:08:33.

financial year, 2015, 2016. This is money which would otherwise have

:08:34.:08:37.

been with central Government and has been handed over to local enterprise

:08:38.:08:41.

partnerships across the country who will decide how they want to spend

:08:42.:08:42.

this money. Today's announcement has of course

:08:43.:08:46.

attracted some scepticism, particularly just how new the money

:08:47.:08:47.

is. Labour's Alan Whitehead, says the Government gives with one hand

:08:48.:08:50.

and takes away with the othdr. Labour has suggested that more money

:08:51.:09:07.

could go to local authoritids and it is giving back some of the loney

:09:08.:09:11.

that was removed by the Govdrnment when the regional development

:09:12.:09:14.

agencies were cancelled a while ago. Most of that money that would have

:09:15.:09:19.

gone into the area still relains unallocated. So it is facing in the

:09:20.:09:22.

right direction but there is a long way to go.

:09:23.:09:23.

Some of the money will be available immediately but most is expdcted

:09:24.:09:27.

later ` with much dependent on private companies, developers and

:09:28.:09:30.

councils. This is being talked about as a revolution in the way our

:09:31.:09:33.

economy is run. Whether it hs will depend in part on how different

:09:34.:09:36.

areas successfully bid for the next wave of money available and what

:09:37.:09:39.

happens to these growth deals after next year's general election.

:09:40.:09:44.

An inquest's started to est`blish how a schoolboy from Salisbtry came

:09:45.:09:48.

to be dragged from his tent and killed by a polar bear. 17`xear`old

:09:49.:09:51.

Horatio Chapple died in 2010 in Norway, on a trip organised by the

:09:52.:09:54.

British Schools Exploring Society. Today the leader of the expddition

:09:55.:09:57.

admitted there were problems with the group's equipment. Four others

:09:58.:09:59.

were hurt in the attack before the bear could be killed.

:10:00.:10:05.

Still to come in this evening's South Today: batting for England `

the rising table tennis star with her sights set on Glasgow.

:10:09.:10:17.

A patient who's gone missing from a secure mental hospital in Bdrkshire

:10:18.:10:21.

is still missing, two days `fter making his escape. 43 year old John

:10:22.:10:24.

Maguire climbed over the wall of Thornford Park Hospital at Crookham

:10:25.:10:27.

Hill near Thatcham at lunchtime on Saturday. He's five foot ten inches

:10:28.:10:29.

tall with a four inch scar on his cheek. People are urged not to

:10:30.:10:33.

approach him as he can be aggressive.

:10:34.:10:42.

A fresh appeal's been made for witnesses after two unprovoked

:10:43.:10:45.

attacks on women in Portsmotth. Last Sunday, a 45`year`old woman was

:10:46.:10:47.

stabbed in the chest as she walked her dog along Ports Creek in Hilsea.

:10:48.:10:51.

A similar incident took place nine days earlier in Southampton Road

:10:52.:10:53.

nearby. Neither woman received life`threatening injuries.

:10:54.:11:01.

A new car sharing scheme is launching in Bournemouth.

:11:02.:11:04.

Backed by the council, drivdrs hire a vehicle by the hour or day.

:11:05.:11:07.

The aim ` to cut congestion and improve the environment.

:11:08.:11:09.

It's for people who need a car only occasionally,

:11:10.:11:12.

or two`car families who want to get rid of the second car.

:11:13.:11:16.

But similar schemes have fahled and the AA says it only makds sense

:11:17.:11:19.

for a small number of very low`mileage drivers.

:11:20.:11:21.

Our Transport Correspondent Paul Clifton reports.

:11:22.:11:31.

I book the car online and simply walk to the car park

:11:32.:11:35.

Then I use this smartcard to swipe the windscreen.

:11:36.:11:37.

There are eight of these in marked bays around the town.

:11:38.:11:46.

I don't need a vehicle myself, so I tend to rely on buses,

:11:47.:11:55.

But for doing the big shop on a weekly or monthly basis,

:11:56.:11:58.

it's more practical for me to hire one of these cars than go bx bus.

:11:59.:12:07.

It is supported by the local council.

:12:08.:12:12.

We have supported the setup of the scheme and then it is

:12:13.:12:15.

So, we have been the catalyst to get it going in Bournemouth.

:12:16.:12:23.

It costs ?3.75 per hour, plus 13p per mile.

:12:24.:12:27.

You can book for half an hour or 10 days.

:12:28.:12:30.

Target users are small businesses, local residents who either do not

:12:31.:12:33.

have a car or would like to be getting rid of a car

:12:34.:12:36.

Or, perhaps a one`car familx who perhaps are thinking thdy

:12:37.:12:39.

Alex also has a smaller schdme in Eastleigh.

:12:40.:12:47.

This company in Winchester folded after just six months.

:12:48.:13:04.

Here is a new scheme where private car owners are money by letting

:13:05.:13:07.

You search online by postcode or car type.

:13:08.:13:11.

The AA thinks this has a bright future.

:13:12.:13:19.

I think car clubs may be expensive for some people because

:13:20.:13:22.

if you do high mileage, the charges made up quickly.

:13:23.:13:24.

It works alright for some, but probably a minority.

:13:25.:13:31.

Car club vehicles are usually small, not much use for collecting

:13:32.:13:34.

furniture from a DIY store or taking holiday luggage to the airport.

:13:35.:13:37.

The AA says it may make sense for low mileage drivers who do

:13:38.:13:40.

It is not going to reduce traffic jams, but it will suit some people.

:13:41.:13:55.

The main road through Wiltshire will close completely in just ovdr an

:13:56.:13:58.

hour's time, and not reopen until tomorrow morning. Several mhles of

:13:59.:14:01.

the A303 are being shut every night this week for resurfacing, between

:14:02.:14:03.

Chicklade and Deptford. Drivers will be sent on a 15`mile long dhversion

:14:04.:14:06.

via Warminster, and they're being warned journeys will take mtch

:14:07.:14:09.

The future of a road on the Isle of Wight that partially collapsed in

:14:10.:14:21.

heavy rainfall is being deb`ted this evening. The landslip happened at

:14:22.:14:24.

Undercliff Drive near Ventnor in February. Large cracks also appeared

:14:25.:14:26.

in houses, forcing a number of residents to move out. Some still

:14:27.:14:29.

haven't returned. The counchl is discussing six possible opthons

:14:30.:14:31.

ranging from permanent clostre, to repairing the damage `

:14:32.:14:33.

Onto sport now. My goodness, what a weekend. Wimbledon, the Tour de

:14:34.:14:59.

France, World Cup, cricket, so much... The Tour de France looked

:15:00.:15:10.

lovely in Yorkshire. Fabulots. It would be great if it came ftrther

:15:11.:15:19.

south. It was reminiscent of the Olympic torch relay. I watched the

:15:20.:15:25.

women's final in Wimbledon. 55 minutes? Very impressive indeed We

:15:26.:15:33.

will need a table tennis st`r in a moment or stop but first other news.

:15:34.:15:36.

Salisbury City fans and offhcials are vowing to fight on desphte the

:15:37.:15:40.

club being thrown out of thd conference this weekend. Salisbury

:15:41.:15:42.

had already been demoted to conference south amid a cash crisis

:15:43.:15:46.

at the Wiltshire club. Now, the league has removed them frol

:15:47.:15:48.

conference south after they say the Whites failed to come up with

:15:49.:15:51.

Bournemouth's record signing Callum Wilson is ready to help the club

:15:52.:15:54.

make a bid for a place in the Premier league.Wilson compldted his

:15:55.:15:57.

three million pound signing on friday night and was at trahning

:15:58.:16:00.

today with the Cherries for the first time before they jettdd off to

:16:01.:16:03.

Austria for a pre season totr. Wilson was Coventry's top scorer

:16:04.:16:06.

last season and arrives aftdr the sale of Lewis Grabban, but does he

:16:07.:16:09.

see himself as a replacement for the departed leading scorer?

:16:10.:16:15.

No. I am not coming in to rdplace anybody, just to score goals. We

:16:16.:16:24.

want to get to the Premiership and I want to be a championship player. We

:16:25.:16:28.

want to take the next step. Southampton defender Dejan Lovren

:16:29.:16:32.

has said in his head he's already at Liverpool, despite Saints ttrning

:16:33.:16:34.

down a bid to make him the third player to move from the south coast

:16:35.:16:37.

to Anfield this season. Lovren's All today's county championship

:16:38.:16:59.

cricket scores are on the BBC website, meanwhile Hampshird were

:17:00.:17:02.

beaten for the 4th time this season in the T20 blast yesterday. Somerset

:17:03.:17:04.

made 155 from their 20 overs and Hampshire fell well short at the

:17:05.:17:07.

Ageas Bowl. In`form batsman James Vince was out for a first b`ll duck,

:17:08.:17:10.

and things took a turn for the worse when Glen Maxwell was run ott, also

:17:11.:17:14.

for a duck, Hampshire were bowled Hopefully, we can go into the Games

:17:15.:18:46.

with a strong attitude. Her parents made the trip to India for xears ago

:18:47.:18:50.

and are relieved this year's event is closer to home. For aspiring

:18:51.:18:58.

athletes, it is a help if mtm and dad are they are. A lot of

:18:59.:19:04.

expenditure and travelling. She does all the tournaments. If there is a

:19:05.:19:12.

medal, you will get some of that... IMac it would be nice. We w`nt the

:19:13.:19:23.

team to do well. Hannah is now number four in the rankings and says

:19:24.:19:31.

it is an unbelievable journdy from being a young girl a decade ago I

:19:32.:19:40.

would not have dreamt of getting to where I am today back then. I have

:19:41.:19:47.

taken every opportunity that I can. I take nothing for granted. I have

:19:48.:19:53.

to work hard and that is wh`t has got me to where I am today. She is

:19:54.:20:02.

good. She got to the quarterfinals this weekend. This is the w`rm up

:20:03.:20:08.

phase and she needs to get ht right for Glasgow. When she was a young

:20:09.:20:16.

player, we spoke to her and it is great to chart the journey.

:20:17.:20:19.

The school exams may be over ` and the holidays are almost herd. But at

:20:20.:20:23.

least one group of schoolchhldren in Portsmouth were still concentrating

:20:24.:20:25.

pretty hard today on their lessons today. And no, it wasn't Maths or

:20:26.:20:28.

English that the students at Mayville High School were working on

:20:29.:20:31.

but flying lessons ` and flxing lessons, where students need to

:20:32.:20:34.

think happy thoughts to hit the heights. It all adds up to ` very

:20:35.:20:37.

special theatrical experience which is unfolding at the King's Theatre

:20:38.:20:39.

in Southsea. Georgina Windsor has been along to watch.

:20:40.:20:52.

the school play. First, the teachers are put through their paces,

:20:53.:21:37.

learning to fly the children across the stage. There are so manx markers

:21:38.:21:41.

you need to look out for and make sure everything is just right. Quite

:21:42.:21:45.

terrifying, but I am sure bx the end of the day we will have it sorted.

:21:46.:21:51.

Across portions, 300 childrdn will perform on this impressive stage

:21:52.:21:55.

full stop eight of those will learn to fly. I am really excited about

:21:56.:22:05.

flying. It is going to feel magical because not every child gets to fly

:22:06.:22:13.

on a harness. It is nerve wracking because maybe our teachers `ren t so

:22:14.:22:16.

good at flying, but I can only hope! When the harness first goes on

:22:17.:22:22.

and you get a feeling of excitement and adrenaline going through you.

:22:23.:22:27.

You're going to fly or the first time, it is amazing! Then when the

:22:28.:22:32.

lift you up for preparation, you get the feeling of, this is going to

:22:33.:22:39.

happen. This is good! For m`ny children at this school, thhs is a

:22:40.:22:43.

once in a lifetime experience, as the school only put on prodtctions

:22:44.:22:47.

on this scale once every five years. But the sky is the limit for them

:22:48.:22:59.

now! They were brilliant, considdring

:23:00.:23:02.

they have not flown before. That show is on this week. Break a leg!

:23:03.:23:13.

Well, don't. But you know what we're talking about. Onto the weather ..

:23:14.:23:21.

I was driving through Dorset this morning and I was in sunshine but

:23:22.:23:25.

half a mile ahead I could sde where the rain started. Very isol`ted

:23:26.:23:27.

showers. Blue skies over Freshwater Bay on

:23:35.:23:38.

Hampshire, by Martin Curtis. Family walking across Sandb`nks in

:23:39.:23:40.

Dorset ` Richard Simpson. A number of showers, as we were

:23:41.:23:54.

talking about. They drifted in from the south`west. There were ` few

:23:55.:24:05.

thunderstorms as well. Some intense downpours. We will tend to see those

:24:06.:24:15.

showers fade away. Temperattres will fall down to eight or nine Celsius.

:24:16.:24:24.

It will become drier as the night progresses. Clear skies for eastern

:24:25.:24:29.

areas but a chance of mist `nd fog patches. Winds will be like, hence

:24:30.:24:38.

the risk of mist and fog. Btt that will clear tomorrow morning. It will

:24:39.:24:42.

start dry but then the showdrs will get going, more likely be ftrther

:24:43.:24:51.
