:00:44. > :01:03.another man from the Newbury area have been convicted of using one
:01:04. > :01:06.of the UK's biggest dating websites to trick women out of nearly
:01:07. > :01:09.a quarter of a million pounds. One victim handed over more than
:01:10. > :01:11.?174,000 to a man she met online
:01:12. > :01:16.at the match.com website. In fact he was a bogus profile
:01:17. > :01:26.made up by the scammers. Another man and a woman were
:01:27. > :01:43.acquitted. Police say the scam preyed on women
:01:44. > :01:48.emotionally. Like a quarter of ?1 million was handed over. They had
:01:49. > :01:54.all been members of match.com, looking for partners. They were
:01:55. > :02:01.targeted by fraudsters who created fake profiles of men. Women handed
:02:02. > :02:09.over sums between ?4000 and ?10,000 in most cases, one woman handed over
:02:10. > :02:13.?174,000. Much of the money was laundered through banks in Southsea.
:02:14. > :02:18.The Crown Prosecution Service says it will use the law to try to claw
:02:19. > :02:22.back the money but in many cases this is not about money but about
:02:23. > :02:25.women losing their dignity and their confidence.
:02:26. > :02:27.Dating websites have increasingly become a target for scammers,
:02:28. > :02:30.preying on people seeking relationships.
:02:31. > :02:33.Sarah`Jane Johnson from Haselmere in Surrey became a victim after she
:02:34. > :02:47.She lost ?300, but was close to sending the fraudsters thousands.
:02:48. > :02:56.She believes dating sites should do more to one people about scammers.
:02:57. > :03:05.He was a nice man, he looked nice, he had a good job, he was sensitive,
:03:06. > :03:10.in touch with his feelings, communicating on quite a deep
:03:11. > :03:16.emotional level. It seemed perfect but these photos were stolen, used
:03:17. > :03:19.by scammers to create a character with a story that Sarah`Jane
:03:20. > :03:25.believed. Within a couple of weeks I felt that
:03:26. > :03:31.I was developing feelings for this person, I was really entranced by
:03:32. > :03:37.his voice, it was very deep, almost hypnotic, lovely French accent. He
:03:38. > :03:40.weaved a complex story. He said he was in charge of a large
:03:41. > :03:46.construction project in South Africa and needed to pay taxes so he would
:03:47. > :03:51.be paid by the government for his work before returning to the UK.
:03:52. > :03:56.Then came the first gentle request for money. Sarah Janes sent ?300 but
:03:57. > :04:04.there was pressure for more and every time she became wary his calls
:04:05. > :04:11.and e`mails true her back in. E`mails like this one. I had a dream
:04:12. > :04:16.last night about us. I saw you on the pier and the wind was blowing
:04:17. > :04:20.through your hair and your eyes held the fading sunlight. I gently
:04:21. > :04:26.touched your cheek. I know this is the moment I have been waiting for
:04:27. > :04:34.and I pray it never ends. I was pulled back in again. Sarah`Jane was
:04:35. > :04:39.close to sending ?13,000 until a friend sent her aid blog full of
:04:40. > :04:46.similar stories and she finally realised she had been conned. I
:04:47. > :04:50.spent two days crying a lot of the time. I was really upset and then I
:04:51. > :04:56.felt really angry that somebody had chosen to do this to me. Sarah`Jane
:04:57. > :04:58.says she will never try online dating again. She wants others to
:04:59. > :05:02.learn from her mistakes. In a statement about the court case,
:05:03. > :05:19.match.com told us... In response to Sarah Jane's
:05:20. > :05:40.concerns the company added... The luxury car maker Rolls`Royce has
:05:41. > :05:42.tonight announced a big expansion It's to build
:05:43. > :05:47.a new technology centre in Bognor Regis, a stone's throw from its main
:05:48. > :05:52.production plant at Goodwood. It'll employ 200 people but only
:05:53. > :05:55.a handful will be new jobs. The Bognor unit will be
:05:56. > :05:58.in an area that could become an enterprise zone, offering incentives
:05:59. > :06:01.to the companies based there. Let's cross live to our Business
:06:02. > :06:04.Correspondent Alastair Fee who's The first cars rolled
:06:05. > :06:20.off the production line in 2003. For all its success, what they don't
:06:21. > :06:23.have at Goodwood is room to expand. That issue has now been solved,
:06:24. > :06:33.at a new site eight miles away. It has been a closely guarded secret
:06:34. > :06:39.but finally Rolls`Royce today confirmed its plans for the future.
:06:40. > :06:43.This is a significant development and the local area as well, it
:06:44. > :06:49.reinforces our commitment to the area and I am delighted that you all
:06:50. > :06:55.came here to share the great news, not only for us but also for the
:06:56. > :06:59.area. No change in its headquarters or the county it calls home, but it
:07:00. > :07:06.has found a location for a large new centre. The plan is growing and we
:07:07. > :07:13.needed to free up some space to give us freedom to grow even further.
:07:14. > :07:23.People and customer demand more and more bespoke content with
:07:24. > :07:28.Rolls`Royce. On the northern side of Bognor Regis, covering 30,000 square
:07:29. > :07:33.metres, Rolls`Royce is building a new technology and logistics centre.
:07:34. > :07:37.It will be bigger than four football pitches and they will not be making
:07:38. > :07:43.cars here but it will play an important part of its business.
:07:44. > :07:48.There will be a distribution centre for new cars and a workshop for car
:07:49. > :07:53.preparation. The choice of location means that Rolls`Royce is likely to
:07:54. > :07:59.be the first major company to take advantage of plans for a new
:08:00. > :08:04.enterprise zone. It is a major boost to our bid to become an enterprise
:08:05. > :08:10.zone but the mere fact that Rolls`Royce is investing so much
:08:11. > :08:15.money, producing a facility three quarters of that at Goodwood, in
:08:16. > :08:21.future will hopefully encourage a lot of companies. Rolls`Royce
:08:22. > :08:26.started in 1906 and became the choice of the rich and famous. The
:08:27. > :08:34.British company was finally bought by BMW, and they relocated to West
:08:35. > :08:44.Sussex. Rolls`Royce has seen a record 33% rise in sales. 2014 has
:08:45. > :08:48.been its West year yet. `` best. None of the employees knew of the
:08:49. > :08:52.announcement until this afternoon. It is pretty impressive, it will
:08:53. > :08:56.open up a lot of jobs for other people and hopefully we can expand.
:08:57. > :09:04.Good access to the new site will be critical. Two infrastructure sites
:09:05. > :09:11.are run the way and they are both designed to reduce congestion. More
:09:12. > :09:17.than 200 people will be based at the technology and logistics centre,
:09:18. > :09:22.which is expected to open in 2016. David Myers is from the Bognor Regis
:09:23. > :09:28.regeneration board. What do you hope will be the knock`on effect of this
:09:29. > :09:31.announcement? We are very excited to have Rolls`Royce in Bognor Regis and
:09:32. > :09:37.we think the knock`on effect will be important. The enterprise initiative
:09:38. > :09:42.we set up is going to attract new businesses into the town and we are
:09:43. > :09:50.very hopeful that there will be other motor sector businesses on the
:09:51. > :09:56.back of this. Surely to incentivise new businesses you are going to need
:09:57. > :09:59.the enterprise zone status. We are very confident it will happen but
:10:00. > :10:05.the government is still making up its mind, but we have very good
:10:06. > :10:09.structure within the Regis, just under 100 acres of land available
:10:10. > :10:15.for industrial abutment, and we believe that will offer companies
:10:16. > :10:26.are a lot of advantages to come into Bognor Regis very quickly.
:10:27. > :10:28.A boost for employees today at Goodwood and hopefully a new chapter
:10:29. > :10:32.in the fortunes of Bognor Regis. As you may have heard, the Duke and
:10:33. > :10:35.Duchess of Cambridge say they're delighted with the news they're
:10:36. > :10:37.expecting their second child. The news that Prince George will be
:10:38. > :10:41.getting a baby brother or sister was welcomed in Bucklebury,
:10:42. > :10:51.the Berkshire village where Kate I hope she keeps better health this
:10:52. > :10:58.time because she was quite poorly with Prince George. I think they are
:10:59. > :11:03.fantastic parents and, yeah, another little baby. It is good news for the
:11:04. > :11:06.village of course, people are thrilled around here. Lovely!
:11:07. > :11:08.Still to come in this evening's South Today...
:11:09. > :11:13.Could Portsmouth pull off a giant killing and beat Manchester to
:11:14. > :11:29.Ashya King is tonight in Prague hospital of planned proton beam
:11:30. > :11:35.treatment, after a legal order which had made him a ward of court was
:11:36. > :11:38.removed. Denby was taken from Southampton General Hospital earlier
:11:39. > :11:52.this week and doctors had questioned the benefit of the proton therapy.
:11:53. > :11:56.`` Ashya was taken. We have seen a war of words between Southampton
:11:57. > :12:01.General Hospital and the clinic in Prague over this proton beam
:12:02. > :12:05.therapy, whether it is really necessary. The doctors here say it
:12:06. > :12:09.will not do Ashya any harm but equally it will not do anything they
:12:10. > :12:12.could do with their normal radiotherapy.
:12:13. > :12:16.There was no benefit in Ashya's case for proton radiotherapy.
:12:17. > :12:19.We do not say it was unacceptable treatment.
:12:20. > :12:23.In Ashya's case, with the type of tumour that he has,
:12:24. > :12:29.because we need to irradiate the spinal cord and most of the
:12:30. > :12:30.brain because of the tumour, the advantages you would get from proton
:12:31. > :12:43.radiotherapy are not as great. Is this just the hospital trying to
:12:44. > :12:47.defend itself? I think there is a point in that but also generally
:12:48. > :12:53.medically they think they are in the right word in the last half an hour
:12:54. > :12:58.they say they wish Ashya well in Prague and I hope he makes a full
:12:59. > :13:09.recovery. He is over there and likely to start therapy soon.
:13:10. > :13:15.That is their treatment of choice and according to current knowledge
:13:16. > :13:30.it should spur some of the effects of treatment .
:13:31. > :13:35.I understand Portsmouth City Council is writing to the family to ask
:13:36. > :13:42.about their schooling ` because classes went back this week and
:13:43. > :13:45.those children are still abroad. Clearly exceptional circumstances,
:13:46. > :13:47.but the council wants to know they are not losing out
:13:48. > :13:49.and may even be sending some home education packs out, if they can get
:13:50. > :13:52.an address for them. Police are continuing to question
:13:53. > :13:54.two people about the murder of a mother`of`five who was stabbed
:13:55. > :13:57.to death on a New Forest farm. The body

:15:02. > :15:07.teams, life guards and helicopters, will be run from here. Unlike older
:15:08. > :15:13.centres, from here you can't see the sea. You can barely see daylight.
:15:14. > :15:20.Does that really matter? Air`traffic controllers at Swanwick can't see
:15:21. > :15:25.aeroplanes. Today good communications is all about
:15:26. > :15:29.computers. So the old Coast Guard base at Lee on the Solent will close

:15:53. > :15:56.applied for voluntary redundancy. The national coastguard agency has
:15:57. > :16:01.not brought a lot of the staff with them and that is a lot of experience
:16:02. > :16:05.that will not be transferred to this new centre and that will affect
:16:06. > :16:09.ultimately operations in the future. This place was built as a fire
:16:10. > :16:17.service headquarters but it was never used for that. Since 2008 it
:16:18. > :16:21.has stood empty, rented by government at ?120,000 a month. I
:16:22. > :16:26.suspect this is to do with money. It is not all to do with money. To be
:16:27. > :16:33.fair, it did not need modernising, if that is the word, but I think
:16:34. > :16:38.they modernised too far. Nearly 50 coastguards will work it, increasing
:16:39. > :16:46.to 100 in a year's time, combination of national control Centre and the

:18:47. > :18:49.The depot's new ?1 million natural gas station has been paid for
:18:50. > :18:57.We find Reading is a great place to trial new ideas
:18:58. > :19:01.because it is willing to take on that risk and innovation and we want
:19:02. > :19:11.other cities across the UK, who can also access funding if they choose,
:19:12. > :19:13.to take a look at what is happening here.
:19:14. > :19:15.There are 34 such buses and all are now in service.

:20:09. > :20:12.enormous capacity for providing gas for road vehicles other than buses.
:20:13. > :20:15.This is ultimately a commercial venture `
:20:16. > :20:21.But with taxis converting too it seems the commitment to go green
:20:22. > :20:45.There is a lot of emphasis on the future generation of players for
:20:46. > :20:48.England and Portsmouth in football. Portsmouth stepped up

:20:52. > :20:55.for not only the title, but over ?1.5 million of Sport England money
:20:56. > :20:58.to spend on developing the game. As I discovered earlier,
:20:59. > :21:00.Portsmouth is going all out to win. Pompey is a name synonymous with
:21:01. > :21:15.both a city and its football club. It is worn in Naas, Pompey. It is
:21:16. > :21:23.not just put all, it is Pompey football. How can we give it up
:21:24. > :21:26.after all these years? When you talk about Pompey you don't know whether
:21:27. > :21:38.you are talking about the city or the football club. The blues, we are
:21:39. > :21:40.the best in the land! Or we were. The spirit of the fans was clear to
:21:41. > :21:41.see. Today was all about making it
:21:42. > :21:43.official and becoming Sport ?1.6 million will be awarded to
:21:44. > :22:07.invest in the grassroots level For that kind of money we should
:22:08. > :22:12.have a big impact on the game. We live it and we breathe it and for
:22:13. > :22:16.that to be recognised elsewhere would be fantastic. We would be able
:22:17. > :22:22.to do all of the projects we wanted to do for year. Manchester and
:22:23. > :22:27.Nottingham are also in the running. The decision will be made next week.
:22:28. > :22:32.As for Pompey, we all know what they are looking for. And if they win
:22:33. > :22:39.they will hold the title for two years. The ultimate goal is to find
:22:40. > :22:43.the next generation of talent. They performed well off the pitch
:22:44. > :22:49.but not quite as well on it. They were beaten 2`0 at Burton Albion.
:22:50. > :22:57.They fell behind after just two minutes, the manager criticising

:23:54. > :23:59.well, London Welsh got heavily beaten in the opening fixtures of
:24:00. > :24:03.the season, and London Irish were narrowly beaten.
:24:04. > :24:17.It is only the beginning of the season. Now the weather, Alexis is
:24:18. > :24:18.here. We have an area of high pressure well established over the
:24:19. > :24:40.UK. It was a misty and murky start in
:24:41. > :24:47.some places and the mist and fog tonight could be more dense than in
:24:48. > :24:51.other areas. Clear skies means temperatures will fall away in the
:24:52. > :24:58.countryside into single figures, seven or eight Celsius. Ten to 13 in
:24:59. > :25:02.the towns and cities. A cooler, fresher feeling night than last
:25:03. > :25:09.night. Temperatures similar each night this week, cooler in the
:25:10. > :25:12.countryside. Lots of sunshine initially tomorrow and as the day
:25:13. > :25:18.wears on we will see a lot more cloud in eastern areas. West is best
:25:19. > :25:24.for the sunshine, with a high of 21 Celsius. Slightly cooler along the
:25:25. > :25:29.south coast with the breeze. Through the course of tomorrow night it
:25:30. > :25:33.stays right again under clearing skies. Temperatures falling away the
:25:34. > :25:40.single figures in the countryside. A low of 11 to 14 in the towns and
