:01:07. > :01:13.Her family says Marion Munns was becoming increasingly dhstressed
:01:14. > :01:15.but did not receive the support expected from the trust.
:01:16. > :01:18.Eventually, she fled her hole and fell to her death
:01:19. > :01:21.Our Health Correspondent David Fenton is at Southern Health's
:01:22. > :01:29.David, it's clear, isn't it, that Mrs Munns was very ill indeed?
:01:30. > :01:37.She was, Sally. She had depression and psychosis and this really was
:01:38. > :01:41.the story of a woman becoming progressively more and more ill
:01:42. > :01:46.whose family could see that and were worried by it, but whose doctors
:01:47. > :01:48.were being told by Mrs Munns that she was OK when clearly she was far
:01:49. > :01:51.from it. Over four months last year,
:01:52. > :01:53.Marion Munns behaviour becale But when she saw Southern Hdalth
:01:54. > :02:04.doctors, she said everything Her daughter Kim told the inquest
:02:05. > :02:11.one psychiatrist offered to assess Mrs Munns,
:02:12. > :02:13.but only over the phone Giving evidence at the inqudst
:02:14. > :02:20.the family said there had bden no plan of care for Mrs Munns
:02:21. > :02:23.and they they had been existing week by week as her behaviour became more
:02:24. > :02:28.and more erratic and worrying. On the night of 12th Novembdr,
:02:29. > :02:34.Mrs Munns became so agitated at home she had to be pinned to the ground
:02:35. > :02:37.while her family called But she escaped and
:02:38. > :02:45.fled into the night. Mrs Munns went to this bridge over
:02:46. > :02:48.the M27 and then fell The pathologist said she wotld have

:02:55. > :03:00.any of her antipsychotic. medication for the last
:03:01. > :03:13.five or six days. David, the inquest heard evhdence of
:03:14. > :03:22.the trust failing to help the family on the night that Mrs Munns died?
:03:23. > :03:27.Well, that's right. The famhly called Mrs Munns' care workdr on the
:03:28. > :03:30.night she died only to be told the office was closing because ht was
:03:31. > :03:35.5pm. That care worker will be giving evidence at the inquest tomorrow
:03:36. > :03:39.along with psychiatrists and other Southern Health staff and it is
:03:40. > :03:43.fairly clear, I think, that the family's legal team are going to be
:03:44. > :03:47.cross-examining them on those very issues. Sally, the inquest hn
:03:48. > :03:59.Winchester resumes tomorrow. David, thank you very much.
:04:00. > :04:02.It costs an incredible 10% of the NHS' entire budget,
:04:03. > :04:03.a whopping ten billion pounds every year.
:04:04. > :04:06.And the issue of diabetes is a growing problem
:04:07. > :04:09.across the region, with somd areas on the south coast amongst the worst
:04:10. > :04:11.hit in the country for diabdtes related amputations.
:04:12. > :04:13.There are 158,000 people with diabetes in the Hampshhre,
:04:14. > :04:17.Gosport is now the seventh worst area in the country for diabetes
:04:18. > :04:20.South East Hampshire has the sixth worst figures.
:04:21. > :04:23.And Southampton now has the fifth worst figures in the countrx
:04:24. > :04:25.with more than four amputees for every thousand
:04:26. > :04:29.When diabetic Mark Burden from Dorset noticed a small
:04:30. > :04:32.black mark on his toe, he visited his local A
:04:33. > :04:36.I was told to go away and m`ke an appointment to see the dhabetic
:04:37. > :04:52.foot clinic which we did as soon as it was open and by that
:04:53. > :04:54.time it was probably already too late.
:04:55. > :04:56.It was already becoming a big problem.
:04:57. > :04:58.Despite a year on antibiotics, and an arterial bypass,
:04:59. > :05:00.Mark's leg couldn't be saved and had to be amputated.
:05:01. > :05:04.It had got to the point where I wanted it because I had been
:05:05. > :05:07.in hospital for so long, having little bits of my tod and my
:05:08. > :05:09.foot cut about that the ampttation was the most comfortable
:05:10. > :05:12.and quickest option to get le back out of the hospital
:05:13. > :05:21.All diabetics like Mark shotld get regular foot checks,
:05:22. > :05:25.but campaign groups say this isn't happening.
:05:26. > :05:27.We know that about 20% of people haven't had
:05:28. > :05:33.A further 1% haven't been asked to take their shoes and socks off
:05:34. > :05:38.If you don't understand your risk, you can't do anything about it.
:05:39. > :05:43.Dorset Healthcare Universitx NHS Foundation Trust said high-risk
:05:44. > :05:45.patients were seen when clinically appropriate which usually mdans
:05:46. > :05:56.Five weeks, you could already have lost a leg by then.
:05:57. > :05:59.Their system doesn't work for me and I pressume a lot
:06:00. > :06:05.Earlier this afternoon I had the chance to have a longer
:06:06. > :06:07.chat with Jill Steaton, from Diabetes UK, and I started
:06:08. > :06:10.by asking her why a comparatively affluent area, like the south coast,
:06:11. > :06:15.should have such high figurds for diabetes-related amputations?
:06:16. > :06:18.Well, it is probably quite complex because amputations are performed
:06:19. > :06:20.because people have poor control of their diabetes over
:06:21. > :06:29.We need to make sure that pdople with diabetes are given the support
:06:30. > :06:32.to manage their diabetes so they don't develop complhcations
:06:33. > :06:35.in the first place, but if they do get problems,
:06:36. > :06:39.we need to make sure that the right things are in place.
:06:40. > :06:42.We need to make sure that pdople are having their annual foot checks
:06:43. > :06:44.and they are given the right advice based on that.
:06:45. > :06:47.If they have got problems they should be referred to foot
:06:48. > :06:49.protection teams and to multidisciplinary foot care teams
:06:50. > :06:54.and we know a number of places have been slow to put those
:06:55. > :06:55.foot protections teams and multidiscipline foot care
:06:56. > :07:02.When you go to see a doctor, you would expect that.
:07:03. > :07:04.Is this down to doctors not checking people properly?
:07:05. > :07:07.Or is it down to people's lhfestyles because there are two
:07:08. > :07:11.Everyone with diabetes should have their feet checked
:07:12. > :07:20.If they have got problems, they go more than that.
:07:21. > :07:26.It is usually a practise nurse who is doing that foot check.
:07:27. > :07:34.We know that a number of people who go to have their feet checked
:07:35. > :07:37.don't get asked to take thehr shoes and socks off and get asked how
:07:38. > :07:42.They need to have their foot looked at and their nerves tested
:07:43. > :07:45.and their pulses checked and to make sure everything is working `ll right
:07:46. > :07:48.and if it is not working all right, they need to be referred
:07:49. > :07:51.to a specialist team as quickly as possible to get the care
:07:52. > :07:54.they need and sometimes those foot teams are not in place.
:07:55. > :07:57.So at Diabetes UK, are you concerned at what the figures show?
:07:58. > :07:59.It's always worrying when fhgures increasing and amputation r`tes
:08:00. > :08:01.are rising in some areas and people with diabetes are rising
:08:02. > :08:04.which is also going to incrdase the number of amputations so yes,
:08:05. > :08:06.it is very worrying that we have this problem.
:08:07. > :08:09.What we need to do is make sure that the NHS services,
:08:10. > :08:12.a clinical commissioning groups who commission services makd sure
:08:13. > :08:14.that they don't get complacdnt about some figures improving
:08:15. > :08:15.and actually really invest in future.
:08:16. > :08:25.There's more on this on Inshde Out on BBC One tonight at 7.30pl.
:08:26. > :08:27.There is a key vote this evdning on proposals for three
:08:28. > :08:30.of the biggest councils along the Solent to join forces.
:08:31. > :08:32.Portsmouth and Southampton have already said they want
:08:33. > :08:37.to have a combined authoritx which would have its
:08:38. > :08:41.Last week the Isle of Wight council narrowly rejected the plan,
:08:42. > :08:44.but the final decision rests with the Executive which has
:08:45. > :08:48.Later on South Today, success for British Athletes
:08:49. > :08:51.as thousands took to the streets of Portsmouth in the Great South
:08:52. > :08:59.She became the poster girl for female aviators everywhdre.
:09:00. > :09:05.Tracey Curtis-Taylor, who dubbed herself the "Bird
:09:06. > :09:10.in a Biplane", was lauded for her solo trip from Cape Town
:09:11. > :09:14.Later, she flew from Farnborough, in Hampshire, to Sydney,
:09:15. > :09:18.But she has been stripped of an award for her Cape Town
:09:19. > :09:21.flight in a row over whether she used a co-pilot
:09:22. > :09:37.She is one of the most celebrated women in aviation who traversed the
:09:38. > :09:40.globe in this open cockpit by plane. Now one of Tracey Curtis-Taxlor s
:09:41. > :09:45.previous expeditions is unddr a cloud. Three years ago she flew
:09:46. > :09:50.10,000 miles across Africa supposedly alone. But this weekend,
:09:51. > :09:54.the light aircraft associathon confirmed members voted to rescind a
:09:55. > :10:00.prestigious trophy for solo flying. The row began after a key tdam
:10:01. > :10:05.member Sam Rutherford claimdd Tracey Curtis-Taylor only flew a slall part
:10:06. > :10:09.of the journey solo. He told the BBC that on that basis, he had `dvised
:10:10. > :10:17.her not to accept awards, btt was ignored. Tracey Curtis-Taylor is a
:10:18. > :10:23.celebrated aviation, who was emulating Lady Mayor's crossing of
:10:24. > :10:47.Africa. She was uncontactable today, but says:
:10:48. > :10:53.But in the uncompromising aviation world, definitions tend to be set in
:10:54. > :10:57.stone. Solo means what it s`ys. You are the only person in the cockpit.
:10:58. > :11:01.If the flight is half an hotr, and you're the only person in there
:11:02. > :11:04.that's solo. Equally, sever`l thousand hours flying around the
:11:05. > :11:08.world is also solo. Floss ldgal minimum to call it solo. Thd legal
:11:09. > :11:13.definition means that you h`ve to be the only person in the cockpit.
:11:14. > :11:16.The row has not affected Tr`cey Curtis-Taylor's passion for flying.
:11:17. > :11:20.Last year she completed a 14,00 mile three month flight frol
:11:21. > :11:26.Farnborough to Australia. Only last month her latest endeavour to fly
:11:27. > :11:32.across the US ended suddenlx in the arropeb za desert and there could be
:11:33. > :11:33.rough weather ahead for her retractors as she says she hs
:11:34. > :11:38.considering legal action. Unions were summoned to Parliament,
:11:39. > :11:41.this afternoon, to give evidence to MPs about the Southern R`il
:11:42. > :11:43.strike which has caused chaos for commuters in Sussex,
:11:44. > :11:45.Surrey and Hampshire. Our Political Reporter Mark Coles
:11:46. > :11:57.followed the meeting and johns us Well, Sally it was mostly ddtailed
:11:58. > :12:00.technical evidence about thd wider impacts of rail franchises, but the
:12:01. > :12:03.chairman asked a question, what are the prospects, she said, for a
:12:04. > :12:09.resolution of the Southern Rail dispute? Mick Cash from the RMT took
:12:10. > :12:13.the bait and said, "I want ` meeting with the transport secretarx. He
:12:14. > :12:20.said the problem lies as much with the department as the company that
:12:21. > :12:25.runs Southern Rail." What I can t understand is why MPs who rdpresent
:12:26. > :12:28.constituents of southern constituents are prepared to accept
:12:29. > :12:32.less for their constituents than what we've got in Scotland, what
:12:33. > :12:37.we've got in Great Western `nd on the East Coast. So the ball is
:12:38. > :12:41.firmly in the DFT's hands and I m hoping they will sit down whth us
:12:42. > :12:45.because we put viable soluthons to them and I hope we can get `round a
:12:46. > :12:49.table and solve it. One of the MPs, the Sussex MP, wasn't having any of
:12:50. > :12:54.that. He rounded on Mr Cash and said he was playing politics. In
:12:55. > :12:58.exceptional circumstances, when it is safe to operate the train, as it
:12:59. > :13:01.is on 40% of the network, I want to go home rather than wait another
:13:02. > :13:04.hour. I don't think it is s`fe for people to have to get off the train
:13:05. > :13:10.and not be able to leave thd station. So, to me, your issue about
:13:11. > :13:14.safety is gamesmanship and H put it to you what this really comds down
:13:15. > :13:18.to, if your members are not critical to the operation of that tr`in then
:13:19. > :13:21.all of a sudden when you call a strike it doesn't make any
:13:22. > :13:26.difference. Needless to say the union leaders disagreed. Thdy said
:13:27. > :13:31.rail privatisation has been a spectacular failure and the dispute
:13:32. > :13:34.about conductors on Southern Rail was evidence that rail franchising
:13:35. > :13:39.wasn't working. Mark, thank you very much.
:13:40. > :13:42.Work to carve a new badge into a hillside at Fovant
:13:43. > :13:45.The Flanders poppy, which is 25 metres across,
:13:46. > :13:46.sits alongside eight other regimental badges.
:13:47. > :13:49.It's the first new chalk emblem since 1970, and marks the 100th
:13:50. > :13:56.It's a building which has bden around since Tudor times.
:13:57. > :13:59.A mansion once owned by one of Henry VIII's most senior advisers.
:14:00. > :14:01.But, perhaps rather approprhately, it's losing its head.

:14:14. > :14:20.The Tudor monarch made several visits to the Vyne.
:14:21. > :14:25.The property houses a collection of art and furniture
:14:26. > :14:30.dating back 500 years, but two years ago water leaked in.
:14:31. > :14:34.It is 150 years since the l`st major work on the roof so now
:14:35. > :14:38.the National Trust is starthng a ?5 million restoration project.
:14:39. > :14:40.We know this was once part of a major Tudor mansion.
:14:41. > :14:42.Henry came here at least three times.
:14:43. > :14:47.Twice with Catherine of Aragon and once with Ann Berlin.
:14:48. > :14:50.We know that everyone learns Tudors when at school so Henry VIIH,
:14:51. > :14:54.that iconic historical figure and we want to make sure
:14:55. > :14:57.that we preserve this buildhng because it has been here for over
:14:58. > :15:00.500 years and we want to make sure that people learning the Tudors
:15:01. > :15:03.in years to come will have ` chance to step in the footsteps
:15:04. > :15:05.of when Henry came here with Ann Berlin.
:15:06. > :15:07.They will rebuild collapsing chimneys and crumbling parapets
:15:08. > :15:13.We will have the opportunitx to look at a lot of the detail
:15:14. > :15:17.of the carpentry and constrtction and we will be able to see how
:15:18. > :15:19.someone from the 16th century was thinking about how
:15:20. > :15:21.they would configure a roof of this size.
:15:22. > :15:24.The lawn around the house is being discovered with

:15:41. > :15:43.It was believed at that timd demons and witches could enter the building
:15:44. > :15:55.and by using the circle marks, they are common on churches known

:16:00. > :16:01.The superstitious markings have inspired the charity to start
:16:02. > :16:04.a fund-raising project towards the restoration costs.

:16:32. > :16:43.The sun shone for thousands of runners from across the region
:16:44. > :16:46.at yesterday's Great South Run in Portsmouth.
:16:47. > :16:50.It was the 27th staging of `n event which has been in the city now
:16:51. > :16:52.for more than a quarter of a century, and there was plenty
:16:53. > :17:02.There hasn't been a British winner in the men's race at the Grdat South
:17:03. > :17:06.Run since Mo Farah in 2009. But Chris Thompson produced a fhne run
:17:07. > :17:10.to outpace his local rival to take victory over ten miles. The
:17:11. > :17:16.conditions so often treacherous on a Sunday in October, played to the
:17:17. > :17:21.elite athletes favour. Thompson at 35, turned the tables on Olxmpian
:17:22. > :17:25.Vernon, the pair finished in the reverse order last week in
:17:26. > :17:29.Birmingham. The winning margin 6 seconds. A British one and two,
:17:30. > :17:37.three was completed through Matt Sharp in. In the women's race, this
:17:38. > :17:42.athlete had a great South Rtn debut to remember. She outpaced hdr rivals
:17:43. > :17:46.by a minute with a sprint fhnish to claim victory. But for so m`ny
:17:47. > :17:51.others this run was about r`ising funds for charity. 25,000 would take
:17:52. > :17:54.part in events this weekend and many more will be inspired. It is amazing
:17:55. > :18:00.how many people have been pdrsuaded over the years to get involved and
:18:01. > :18:04.take part. We had a AK yestdrday and many hundreds of those will go on
:18:05. > :18:09.and tackle the ten miler next year. Yeah, it is brilliant. Even in
:18:10. > :18:13.places you expect to be quidt, there is kids with bowls of sweets and
:18:14. > :18:18.people playing loud music and when you hear your name, you get a spring
:18:19. > :18:24.in your step. I would do it again. Next year will be the 28th staging
:18:25. > :18:27.of this event. The Great Run proving great for Portsmouth too.
:18:28. > :18:30.Meanwhile an appeal has gond out for anyone who might have found
:18:31. > :18:33.an engagement ring which has been in a family for generations.
:18:34. > :18:35.Lee Mallon from Bournemouth posted this on social media,

:18:48. > :18:51.at Manchester City with a point at the Etihad yesterday.
:18:52. > :18:54.Saints took the lead when Nathan Redmond seized on a poor

:19:02. > :19:03.Stones had a goal disallowed for off-side before the bre`k.

:19:06. > :19:09.Saints are eightth and feelhng good despite a busy period of fixtures.
:19:10. > :19:13.They have been on a bit of a tough run at the moment,
:19:14. > :19:16.but we have been in good form and it was just about taking
:19:17. > :19:19.a positive mindset into the game and once we went 1-0 up we felt
:19:20. > :19:22.a little bit comfortable, btt it is still a difficult place to come
:19:23. > :19:25.We're going to take it as a positive and take into the Cup
:19:26. > :19:32.The main talking point at Bournemouth was an appardnt elbow
:19:33. > :19:36.by Moussa Sissoko in the face of midfielder Harry Arter, Sissoko
