:01:40. > :01:41.Now these aren't the emergency ambulances, but those
:01:42. > :01:45.which take people to and from hospital because of a medical need.
:01:46. > :01:47.In the months since E`Zec took over from the

:02:05. > :02:11.E`Zec said many of the problems were because the NHS in Dorset had
:02:12. > :02:16.underestimated the amount of work when it awarded them the contract.
:02:17. > :02:22.We've learned that in June the NHS handed over an extra ?2 million to

:02:27. > :02:31.meeting all the required standards, apart from failing to have suitable

:02:34. > :02:35.But what about the patients themselves?
:02:36. > :02:39.Well, the ones the CQC spoke to said the service had improved but some

:04:01. > :04:06.The point about this being a young offender institution which is now
:04:07. > :04:10.accept in older adults is key to what a lot of this report is about.
:04:11. > :04:14.What it is saying is that now you have got sophisticated and interest
:04:15. > :04:18.professional criminals mixed in with young offenders who, it claims, are
:04:19. > :04:22.vulnerable. It said it has led to an increase in bullying and drugs and
:04:23. > :04:27.the dealing of drugs. I have been speaking to one of the report's
:04:28. > :04:31.writers. She told me because it was used to being a young offender
:04:32. > :04:35.institution, it does not have the workplace training that older adults
:04:36. > :04:39.many inmates are spending too long many inmates are spending too long
:04:40. > :04:43.locked in their cells. Earlier I spoke to Elizabeth who is from the
:04:44. > :04:48.Independent Monitoring Board which stand volunteers into prisons to
:04:49. > :04:53.check on conditions. Certainly the prison is really struggling to cope
:04:54. > :05:00.with the changes. The government have done huge changes very, very
:05:01. > :05:05.quickly and we have lost a lot of staff and the staff that have stayed
:05:06. > :05:08.with the eyes are really under pressure to deliver the regime.
:05:09. > :05:15.There is a terrible lack of activity. We have become an adult
:05:16. > :05:20.prison as well as a young offender prison and we just have not got the
:05:21. > :05:24.industry for the adults. At the moment there are far too many men
:05:25. > :05:26.drugs, the Prison Service has said drugs, the Prison Service has
:05:27. > :05:28.in response that they will not be in response that they will not be
:05:29. > :05:32.tolerated and searches including those with specially trained dogs
:05:33. > :05:36.will take place to find them. Prosecutions to follow if necessary.
:05:37. > :05:40.It has trumpeted the idea that this is a restart in jail where inmates
:05:41. > :05:43.are meant to be closer to home prior to release, rebuilding ties with
:05:44. > :05:47.their families and stopping them coming back into prison again. The
:05:48. > :05:52.report's authors said it is all well and good but in practice the weedy
:05:53. > :05:56.services organised, Dorset people are not in Dorset prisons, they are
:05:57. > :05:59.going to neighbouring counties, to Hampshire and Devon. The chairman of
:06:00. > :06:02.the board told me she was not against any of these ideas in
:06:03. > :06:04.principle, they might work in the end but they are not working now.
:06:05. > :06:07.It's the news thousands of drivers and dozens of businesses in the

:06:30. > :06:33.Our reporter Charlotte Stacey is by Whitchurch Bridge this evening.
:06:34. > :06:35.Charlotte, by the time it reopens the bridge
:06:36. > :06:43.would have been closed for nearly a year, what impact has that had?
:06:44. > :06:50.It has had a huge impact. The bridge was the work, the word was only
:06:51. > :06:52.meant to take a few months, the idea was that by doing the repairs
:06:53. > :06:59.overwinter the bridge would be ready by summer but that has not happened.
:07:00. > :07:01.There has been bad weather and setbacks which has caused delays but
:07:02. > :07:07.hopefully the bridge will not be shot for too much longer. This was
:07:08. > :07:11.Whitchurch Bridge in April. I know it should have been finished but
:07:12. > :07:14.flooding last Christmas meant that workers had to down tools in the
:07:15. > :07:19.middle of the project. Work stopped for four months. The job was
:07:20. > :07:23.originally scheduled for six months but the work has now taken nearly
:07:24. > :07:26.double that time. Their next crossing is about a ten mile
:07:27. > :07:31.diversion from here, before the bridge was closed about 6000
:07:32. > :07:35.vehicles per day would go down this road to cross the River Thames.
:07:36. > :07:39.Since it has been closed, it has had a big impact on businesses here. We
:07:40. > :07:44.are down by about 20% over the last one year. When we were first told it
:07:45. > :07:47.was going to be six months it was bad enough and we thought we might
:07:48. > :07:53.not make it, then they told us it would be another six months. It was
:07:54. > :07:56.frightening. We have just worked our way through it, done extra
:07:57. > :08:02.deliveries for our customers. And offered other services. Walking bags
:08:03. > :08:07.across two cards. Anything we can do to help the customers. To keep them
:08:08. > :08:12.coming into the village. Work is not taking longer, it is also costing
:08:13. > :08:16.more. The final bill will be more than ?6 million, that is 2 million
:08:17. > :08:24.more than the initial budget. The company says it is doing everything
:08:25. > :08:28.it can. We said all along we regret the inconvenience caused to local
:08:29. > :08:32.people and bridge users. We are very pleased that we can give a date and
:08:33. > :08:36.it is in the timescale we set in March. The company says it is up to
:08:37. > :08:41.the utilities companies to make sure the job is done on time. If all goes
:08:42. > :08:47.to plan, it should be reopened at the end of next month. Drivers will
:08:48. > :08:51.probably wait to see it to believe it, there have been a number of
:08:52. > :08:55.reopening dates announced at this year, all of which have been pushed
:08:56. > :08:58.back. The companies we have spoken to here today say they are confident
:08:59. > :09:00.once the bridge does reopen, customers will return.

:10:53. > :10:57.would break. I was trying to go as fast as possible to make sure I
:10:58. > :11:02.didn't embarrass anybody. Was its relief when it did break?
:11:03. > :11:05.Definitely. The unit cheers for patients with severe breathing
:11:06. > :11:11.problems such as asthma and pneumonia. Until now it has been
:11:12. > :11:15.housed on a cramped corridor but is now in a brand`new purpose`built
:11:16. > :11:19.unit and will cure for more patients. There are nine beds

:12:14. > :12:16.A field, Bank Holiday rain, and lots of vehicle movements in a short

:12:24. > :12:27.It was difficult yesterday, we managed to get everything in and

:12:31. > :12:33.public car parks are OK because they have not been used until this
:12:34. > :12:38.morning so things are pretty good. We had to do some work on the
:12:39. > :12:42.entrances of the car park but as I said, the game has not been touched
:12:43. > :12:44.since we have been on site so it is not looking too bad.
:12:45. > :12:48.Once on site, the engines are the star attraction.

:15:21. > :15:24.The technology has got smaller and more reliable but we can only
:15:25. > :15:27.have one`way communication at a time and if someone else is talking on

:16:15. > :16:18.These spaces are there to stop these transmissions
:16:19. > :16:23.Right, but that would suggest that those spaces can't be used
:16:24. > :16:25.for anything because they will interfere with the TV signal.
:16:26. > :16:33.One of the problems with Wi`Fi is, how does it get through to that

:17:43. > :17:48.We don't talk a lot about Oxbridge cricket but they are involved in a

:17:54. > :17:55.extra time goals ` last night's Capital One Cup football had its
:17:56. > :17:58.fair share of excitement and drama. Depending on where you're
:17:59. > :18:00.watching us, here's what unfolded Swindon and Brighton served up a six
:18:01. > :18:07.goal cracker at the County Ground A hint of what was to come was
:18:08. > :18:12.provided when this humdinger Well worth a whipping your shirt
:18:13. > :18:18.off for. Straight after half`time, Louis
:18:19. > :18:21.Thompson levelled for Swindon. 1`1 after 90 minutes,
:18:22. > :18:28.four goals followed in extra time. The Seagulls got put back
:18:29. > :18:31.in front before Jake Forster`Caskey But Forster`Caskey was given
:18:32. > :18:46.a second chance from the spot, the same result, sealing Albion's
:18:47. > :18:51.path into round three. I think they played some
:18:52. > :18:57.good stuff tonight. Southampton's win at Millwall
:18:58. > :19:04.was notable for three firsts. Saints were on their way when
:19:05. > :19:06.Jack Cork headed Recent Italian import Graziano Pelle

:19:58. > :20:03.for their long trip to Humberside. So those winning teams go into
:20:04. > :20:06.tonight's third round draw, which will include the likes of Manchester
:20:07. > :20:09.City, Chelsea and Arsenal, who all Bidding to join them are Portsmouth,

:20:34. > :20:36.that record is under huge that record is under huge threat this
:20:37. > :20:41.evening as his lead to outfit face Stoke here at the Britannia, a

:20:46. > :20:49.round and they come into the game on a four match winning streak during

:23:09. > :23:10.we may see one or two showers tomorrow but it is an improving
:23:11. > :23:14.picture through the morning. Increasing cloud in the afternoon

:24:12. > :24:15.an improving picture because high pressure is starting to build in
