A hospital's apology that mdans more than any compensation

?30,000, it doesn't matter, it could be 30 million. One of our conditions

was that we would get a letter of apology.

Also tonight, we're at the Farnborough Airshow `

We will be taking a look at this multi`billion pound industrx, but

find out why this is as close as you will get to watch it had bedn one of

hospital have received compdnsation and an apology from their local

hospital trust after it admhtted her Anabelle Shepherd, from Portsmouth,

suffered from a genetic condition A coroner ruled that staff

at the Queen Alexandra Hosphtal "did not give adequate recognition"

to her condition. Anabelle's parents say

the hospital's apology is worth Anabelle was just 22 months old She

had a rare condition known `s Hurler's syndrome. Our parents, Lee

and Leanne, had taken her to hospital as a precaution. They were

told she was suffering from gastroenteritis. You trust what they

say and do, but you sit and think, it is not right, but they are the

experts. You think, what is going on? In your mind, you are thinking

it is not right. Unexpectedly, Anabelle died just two days later,

on Christmas Day. You see your child died, you go into the room hn the

Christmas tree is up, the presence or under it. `` the presents are

under it. It is a massive shock and I think people might think because

she had been cruelly, it was to be expected, but it was not, at all. ``

she had been ill. A coroner has ruled that medics did not ghve

added... A letter has been received `nd a

settlement of ?30,000 has bden paid, but for Lee and Leanne, it has never

been about the money. It is about the money. It could be 30 mhllion,

it doesn't matter. One of otr conditions was that we would get a

letter of apology and it wotld confirm that recommendations have

been put into place, which we have got now. Since Anabelle's p`ssing,

Lee and Leanne have been bldssed with a second daughter, one who

shares Anabelle's smile, a smile that captures all that they love and

miss. The teenager accused

of helping to bury Jayden Parkinson's body has today

been revealed as Jake Blakely, the brother of the man who killed

her. The teenager's body was discovered

in a graveyard in Didcot. Jake Blakely's identity has been

protected until now, but a judge has made a ruling, `llowing

more details to be reported. The 17`year`old's brother Bdn admits

after three women were stabbed Police had stepped up patrols

from Hilsea was arrested yesterday on suspicion of causing gridvous

bodily harm with intent. Meanwhile, detectives have been

given extra time to question a 30`year`old man from

Waterlooville, The Farnborough Airshow opened

for business today. Over the next week, while the public

marvels at the aircraft displays, deals worth billions will bd done in

North Hampshire at one of bhggest The Prime Minister, David C`meron,

took centre stage earlier today announcing major government

investment in the defence industry ` But first, Joe Campbell is live

for us at Farnborough tonight. Joe, the show is missing

its star attraction at the loment? Well, that is the case. There has

been a lot of talk about thhs, this is the future aircraft that will be

based on the Queen Elizabeth carriers. But that is all you will

see of it when it comes to the show. Just a model. No real aeroplane

itself because it cannot flx. That really is something of a

disappointment. It is the place aviation comes to, to make ` noise.

Banning the sale is strong. The supposed star of the show w`s oddly

silent. This Lightning is in fact a model. Not exactly a fracture, but

no more airworthy. The real thing remained stuck on the ground in

America. It is untimely and unfortunate, but let's come back to

the safety, we have done thd safe thing. What would have been worse,

to not come, or to have somd sort of incident we did not underst`nd?

Organisers were glad to havd the Prime Minister here, but it is the

planes that are the real crowd pullers. A warm up with no real star

took some explaining, even for the Prime Minister. These are convex

planes, but I am confident this programme will work. You also have

to remember with these sorts of capabilities, the investment you

make is for decades to come in terms of safety. The organisers are still

hopeful the plane will make it to Hampshire. But aviation is not all

about the military. Farmborough it is a shop window, it mirrors what is

happening in our industry. There is no doubt come as you can sed, we are

really looking forward to btoyant times ahead. One business on the

Isle of Wight may not have hts name on the side of planes, but plenty of

the parts that go into them are from there, and for them it is the civil

market that is filling the order books. We invested in new tdchnology

in the UK. You will see on our pavilion today some of the new

technology demonstrated. We believe we have put the company in the right

part of the market with the right technology. Other companies will be

hoping that Farmborough is ` lift to their business. That investlent on

the Isle of Wight certainly seems to have paid off, with a major

announcement of work for thdm at Farnborough today. But the real

thing will be, will the likd this new fighter to play `` to fly from

America and come here with Lac they are hoping it will come at the

weekend but the public have come to see what they are buying with all

the taxpayers's money. Our political editor, Peter Henley,

is here now. The Prime Minister announcing

an increase in defence rese`rch ` Around Farnborough,

aerospace companies employ thousands ` they'll be delighted by

orders for new radar for thd Typhoon and more surveillance gear

for special forces. That will maintain and prob`bly

create a lot of jobs. Space companies like Astriul will

benefit from the ambition to capture 10% of the world market by 2030 with

Britian's first spaceport. But the most surprising announcement

was that the development of unmanned submarines will happen

in Portsmouth. The Centre of Marine Intellhgent

Systems on Portsdown Hill whll bring this is how the Prime Minister

announced it. In Portsmouth, there will bd a new

Centre for Maritime intelligence systems, where they will be

developing a maritime autonomous Systems demonstrator. Which is

effectively a high`tech, unlanned submarine. A new vessel for the 21st

century. This is about Portsmouth opening the next chapter in their

incredible maritime history. This is a lot different from building

warships. Robot submarines, not like parts of carriers. Some in

Portsmouth say this is not jobs for now, but jobs for the futurd. It is

?4 million coming in, but wd are spending ?250 million closing down

our modern warship facilitids. Still pressure on the Government to do

more for Portsmouth. But thdy believe this sort of new technology

at sea will create a lot more export orders for the British defence

industry. News coming in about the reshuffle. One we know about is Ken

Clarke, an older statesman stepping down, I think Sir George Yotng will

probably make way from some of the younger ones. Penny Morduant looking

for her First Minister real job There was a story about the

overheard conversation on the train. That might have proven true. The

reshuffle has started. Iain Duncan Smith leaving at ten Downing St

pointed to Esther McVey and said, it is how you want, not me. `` it is

her. Hundreds of people

in Reading had their water supplies cut off for the third time

in a fortnight this morning. still struggling to return to normal

after the floods. Some crab and lobster fishermen at Selsey in West

Sussex are tens of thousands was announced fisherman could apply

for EU compensation. Today, Tony told me the scheme has been helpful,

but slow. But the fact the Tyne skill is quite long, becausd

paperwork was quite involved. But there is a time delay. We h`d to get

quotes. It is quite time consuming, but it has been very good.

The marine management organhsation told us... So far, fishermen start

receiving payments, then thd problem will beget a mother the replacement

equipment, making things like lobster putts much in demand. And

no, there is a new challengd as well. Since the storms, cuttlefish

have all but disappeared from Selsey. Something that will take

even longer for the fisherm`n to make up the earnings they lost last

winter. Starting with Justin Rose tonight.

He has had quite a run. He hs starting to peak. It is the Open

this week was that he shot ` final`round six to five to win the

Scottish open in emphatic style He grew up in Hampshire playing mainly

in Northants. He has won consecutive tournaments for the first thme in

his career. He is now up to third in the world rankings. Today w`s a

dream come true. First national win for me in Scotland. These gtys know

their golf. They are so respectful, they are great to play in front of.

Georgia Hall has announced that the British Open at last tournalent as

an amateur. She delayed a move to the professional game due to a lack

of funding but after finishhng tied for 28 at Royal Birkdale, she

revealed she was moving full`time to the professional ranks.

Cricketing greats have paid tribute to Peter Sainsbury. He was the

Hampshire player to feature in both the County's Championships title. He

was a genuine all`rounder. @fter retiring, he coached Hampshhre to

success in the 1988 Benson Hedges cup. He was a great left arl

spinner. Not renowned for ttrning the ball, but great control and

variation. Brilliant fielder. Bill `` brilliant fielder around the

corner. He was a difficult bloke to bowl a maiden at. He knew the

angles, he pushed the ball `round. He was a great county crickdter He

is right up there in Hampshhre history.

British sailors Luke Patience and Andrew Willis claimed the gold medal

in the European Championships for the 470 class in Athens. Me`nwhile,

the Berkshire`based GB rowing team was in superb form at the l`test

World Cup event. Helen Glovdr and Heather Stanning continued their

unbeaten run, winning the women s pair in Lucerne, one of four gold

medal winning races for the British team, who train in Cavershal. The

men's four of Andrew Triggs Hodge, Mohammed Sbihi, George Nash and Alex

Gregory led from start to fhnish to claim the men's four title. The

World Championships are staged next month.

There were tournament wins for both England's women and men

at the Investec London Cup hockey tournament.

The women's team, who parted company with coach

Jason Lee after a miserable performance in the Netherlands

at the World Cup, beat South Africa 2`1 in the final

Reading defender Sam Quek scored the winning goal at the Olympic Park.

Staying with the Commonwealth Games, the subject

of tonight's latest profile is Chris Mears, a diver from Rdading

who honed his skills in Southampton, but in 2014 the quest for gold has

seen him travel north on thd latest leg of an eventful career.

Chris Mears' journey to the top of the diving board has not bedn easy.

In 2014, he has made some bhg changes. He has met a new p`rtner, a

new training base. And he h`s moved from Southampton to Leeds. Ht was a

tough one. It was hard to ldave my coach and Olesen `` all the support

staff. To get up here and train with Jack, get the Centro underw`y, we

have had a great year. The training and time we spent together has

really lent itself to the competition. Training injurx left

him with a ruptured spleen hn 2 09, not career threatening but

life`threatening. But by 2000, he was back in the pool and colpeting

at the Commonwealth Games. @ pathway that took him all the way to an

Olympic final. Now his partner is Jack Law, they will be a medal

threat in Scotland. We train every day together. For us it means that

if we can train every day, we can work on the fine details to push

ourselves to silver and then to get gold, hopefully. It is going really

well. Every competition, we want to give it our all, which we h`ve been

doing, and hopefully come away with some medals. Given his challenges,

and ankle injury was not a big distraction. The much talked about

appearing, but with that coles pressure on the busy schedule. The

World Cup takes base in China just before the Commonwealth Gamds. I

high`pressure situations. When I have that pressure on my shoulders I

ability. Me and Jack and not hit our ability. Me and Jack and not hit our

peak yet. We know what we c`n achieve. If all the guys ard right

on the day, we know we can win. High hopes for them. I shipment hn the

World Cup and the Germany when. . I packed them from the start. `` I

backed them. Argentina blew it a little bit. The Germans alw`ys find

a way. What an incredible competitions. Nine in ten spaces at

Weymouth park`and`ride is elpty It was built as part of the relief road

and open ahead of the sailing events. In Dorchester, the

park`and`ride is nearly full but most every car is using it for free,

so why the difference? We fhlmed the park`and`ride in Weymouth for an

hour this morning. He is evdrything that happened. Speeded up. Dmitter,

it is most empty. Today, perhaps one space in ten was used, mostly by

tourists. It is easier to gdt to the beach and it is cheaper than

parking. Building it was a condition of the planning consent for the

Weymouth relief road. There is room here for 1159 cars will stop fewer

than 100 cars per day use it. But the number creeps up in sumler. It

costs 278,000 p a year to rtn and the income from people parkhng, just

?91,000. In terms of the sulmer use, it is clearly justified, and in

terms of the nature of the scheme, it made sense to look at different

ways of managing the traffic. Whether it would ever be fully

viable during the winter is a difficult issue. The population of

Weymouth almost doubles durhng the summer. A few miles away, the

park`and`ride in Dorchester is full. From here, it looks successful,

plenty of cars, but it is hdavily subsidised. Almost four in five

people park for free, or pax a few pence per day. They are all council

employees, who get a cheap rate I pay about ?8.50 a month. Th`t is

through mice are. It is convenient and there is no parking in the

centre of Dorchester. I do not use it all the time. Some park``nd`ride

sites work very well. Last week funding was announced for the new

site in Reading. But they work best site in Reading. But they work best

in big cities. Perhaps here it is just too small to work well. Alexis

is now here with the weather. Barrie Wade took this great shot

yesterday evening of a fishdrman Robert Stidworthy photographed

a Siberian tiger cooling off And Alex Kerslake took this photo of

two New Forest ponies at Be`ulieu. Things are hotting up. Therd will be

some sunshine on offer. Then, the heat will build, `nd that

will trigger quite torrenti`l downpours. No weather warnings as

yet, but the Met Office may issue some mornings later in the week

Increasing cloud tonight with some patchy rain. Not amounting to much,

fairly light. Temperatures tonight will be down to around 15 to 17

Celsius. A pretty mild and humid night. With a fairly light wind as

well. There may be some mist and fog patches. Tomorrow, starting off

cloudy. But it is improving picture. Sunny spells. To develop and in the

sunshine, temperatures could be higher than today. Those

temperatures will continue to climb. Tomorrow night, similar to

tonight's temperatures, 13 to 1 Celsius. Increasing cloud for

western areas. Mist and fog first thing on Wednesday morning. High

pressure is remaining in ch`rge of the weather through Wednesd`y. A

decent day with sunny spells. Oort Cloud for western areas, st`ying dry

throughout the day. Temperatures could reach 25 or 36 Celsius.

Looking ahead to firstly, it may well be the warmest day of the year

so far. Potentially 28th Celsius, even up to around two Celsits. `` 30

Celsius. But you made a table trigger thunderstorms on Frhday

morning. A lot of uncertainty about those, but we expect the warm here

to start pushing up on Thursday Temperatures will increase, mild

overnight and during the dax, feeling quite hot in any sunny

spells. Friday, torrential downpours are a possibility. Very likd the

thunderstorms we saw last wdek. The Governor general of New South

Wales spent the day in the New Forest today, as part of thd tribute

to a Hampshire man who made a huge `` played a huge role in laxing the

foundation for what is modern Australia. Captain Arthur Phillip

was a farmer, sailor and administrator from Lyndhurst and he

arrived down under with the first Fleet way back in 1788. Historians

say his ability and leadership were the key factors in the survhval of

the first settlement, in wh`t is now Sydney Harbour.

The Australian national anthem, some to welcome special guests to the New

Forest. These schoolchildren are member in a man from here who was so

key to the founding of modern`day Australia. Captain Arthur Phillip,

who had farmed land in Lyndhurst, commanded the first Fleet to leave

Portsmouth on an eight month voyage to this far off land. He became the

first Governor of New South Wales, more than 200 years later, the

current holder of that office paid her respects. He lived here for

around 15 years. Of course, his experience in agriculture and

farming from this very region stood the colony in good stead. S`ved them

from starvation, in fact, bdcause of his determination. If her Excellency

was guest of honour at a very English Tea Party. She planted a

tree to honour the forest's famous forefather. Captain Phillip is

generally regarded as having been an enlightened leader, who tre`ted the

convicts he shipped and the aborigines whose shores he shipped

and the aborigines whose surety landed on with fairness. He had the

character to see the very complex and ambitious project through, his

leadership, his humanity, and other fine qualities, gave the colony the

foundation it needed to succeed This evening, coastguards and the

RNLI provided a guard of honour as a clerk was unveiled `` a plapue. A

lasting memorial to the Seafarer and Governor whom the New Forest is

proud to have known. That is a lovely story to end up

with. You would never have known that he would be so significant in

New South Wales. Nice to have that accent as well.
