:01:52. > :01:54.there is only one joke in town - but it is becoming harder
:01:55. > :01:56.to laugh at. And they've said that if you're
:01:57. > :01:58.planning on travelling this festive season,
:01:59. > :02:01.then it's best to take emergency They are all too used to booking
:02:02. > :02:07.artists who do not make it But quite honestly it is not a joke
:02:08. > :02:15.any more, it isn't a joke. We can laugh so much,
:02:16. > :02:18.but when it comes to affecting people's lives and livelihoods,
:02:19. > :02:23.then that is not a joke. At the University of Chichester
:02:24. > :02:26.they have been looking at the impact of the strikes in terms of lost GDP,
:02:27. > :02:30.the value of goods and services produced
:02:31. > :02:33.as a measure of the economy. We went to the Office
:02:34. > :02:36.for National Statistics, and used their figure
:02:37. > :02:41.of GDP per employee. That works out at around
:02:42. > :02:46.about ?61,500 per annum. We used an average working year
:02:47. > :02:51.of 230 days, and that comes out At the highest level,
:02:52. > :03:00.the total impact per strike day is probably 9.5 million
:03:01. > :03:04.at a conservative level, and perhaps as high as 11 million

:03:21. > :03:25.of people to move products from the warehouse onto vehicles
:03:26. > :03:28.and out to customers. When we've got limited
:03:29. > :03:31.staff here, obviously, that productivity is reduced,
:03:32. > :03:35.so we're trying to do the same amount of volume
:03:36. > :03:38.of work with less people, long-distance drivers have seen
:03:39. > :03:50.a boost in trade, but it is at the expense of local people left
:03:51. > :03:54.stranded by the strikes. People tend to usually get the train
:03:55. > :03:58.down to Gatwick from here, and where there's no trains on that
:03:59. > :04:02.day, they've booked their holidays months ago, and then
:04:03. > :04:05.they've had to sort of, at the last minute, phone us to say
:04:06. > :04:09.there is no trains tomorrow, Nine times out of ten we can fit
:04:10. > :04:16.them in, but we have had the odd occasion where we just haven't
:04:17. > :04:19.got the availability. One of the biggest concerns is
:04:20. > :04:23.that it reduces the attractiveness of this region as a place to do
:04:24. > :04:26.business, so the risk is that investment is discouraged
:04:27. > :04:30.and ultimately goes elsewhere. What it's highlighting
:04:31. > :04:32.is that there is very infrastructure, so for example,
:04:33. > :04:37.with the rail going out, that knocks out connection,
:04:38. > :04:41.puts pressure on to the road network, and the road network
:04:42. > :04:45.is failing as well, and so that is saying to people, there is not

:05:19. > :05:23.productivity suggests it has cost the economy
:05:24. > :05:27.around ?300 million. It is likely to be much higher,

:06:54. > :06:56.detrimental effect not just on businesses, but also on parking
:06:57. > :07:03.restrictions. At the moment it is free to stay in
:07:04. > :07:07.Steyning, just get a cardboard clock and put it on your dashboard. But
:07:08. > :07:12.soon this will end. Horsham District Council has a ?4 million backhoe in

:07:19. > :07:23.like this for free. From April it will cost 75p per hour, locals can
:07:24. > :07:28.buy a ?12 pass, that lets them park all year round.
:07:29. > :07:32.It might not sound a lot of money but if you just want a pint of milk,
:07:33. > :07:36.you're not ready use the car parks, you're going to park on the side of
:07:37. > :07:39.the road. It will kill three or four businesses, those go and you lose
:07:40. > :07:43.another couple, and that is how high-street die.
:07:44. > :07:48.Would you pay 75p to parking for an hour?
:07:49. > :07:55.If we had to but I'd rather not. It's about frequency, it will be
:07:56. > :07:59.less than ten minutes. If I want to pop in for a bit of
:08:00. > :08:04.shopping, then 75p I would not complain about.
:08:05. > :08:06.I would say that is fairly cheap, it has the perks of having free
:08:07. > :08:10.parking, one of the reasons why we came.
:08:11. > :08:14.Next spring, the new machines will not take coins, so local people will
:08:15. > :08:18.have to swap this for this. The District Council says it does not

:08:24. > :08:26.exception. The people here say they are just being Scrooge.
:08:27. > :08:28.Across the UK, more than 6,000 people -
:08:29. > :08:31.including 150 children - are hoping for a call that
:08:32. > :08:33.They're all waiting for an organ donation.
:08:34. > :08:36.But a shortage means many people die before they get
:08:37. > :08:39.Now the parents of a three-year-old boy from Hampshire are encouraging
:08:40. > :08:42.people to sign up to the organ donor register as they prepare
:08:43. > :08:45.to celebrate a Christmas they feared they'd never see.
:08:46. > :08:52.Elliott is looking forward to Christmas with all his heart.
:08:53. > :08:58.Donated by a family at their time of immense grief, now
:08:59. > :09:03.We have never dared look ahead to another Christmas,
:09:04. > :09:06.and now this close, we are finally just allowing ourselves to look
:09:07. > :09:08.ahead, and when you're in this journey, it is the little things
:09:09. > :09:11.that you realise the most important, and Christmas I think
:09:12. > :09:16.I just can't wait to wake up in the same house
:09:17. > :09:18.on Christmas morning, because we haven't been able to do
:09:19. > :09:21.that for the past two years because Elliott has
:09:22. > :09:25.Elliott was born with a disease that meant his heart
:09:26. > :09:30.For 14 months, a mechanical heart pumped his blood for him,
:09:31. > :09:37.We saw the heart patients get their gift of life, their call.
:09:38. > :09:42.So when it did come, it was just utter shock and disbelief,
:09:43. > :09:45.and there was the excitement initially but more or less
:09:46. > :09:47.straight after that, our thoughts went to the donor
:09:48. > :09:50.family that, in their darkest hour, they had made the decision to gift
:09:51. > :09:56.But not everyone who needs a new organ will get one.
:09:57. > :10:00.Which is why we are being encouraged not just to agree to donate
:10:01. > :10:03.after our death, but to join the donor register to
:10:04. > :10:09.Every day in the UK three people die because there aren't enough organs
:10:10. > :10:12.available for them to receive the transplants they need.
:10:13. > :10:16.There are 6500 people actively waiting today,
:10:17. > :10:19.waiting for that call that means that their lives will be changed
:10:20. > :10:24.and safe, and that's why we need people to basically stop faffing
:10:25. > :10:27.around, and join the organ donor register.
:10:28. > :10:30.If more of us do that, then more people like Elliott
:10:31. > :10:35.Hopefully he'll be able to do what any other child does,
:10:36. > :10:38.he gets to go to play school, gets to go to the park,
:10:39. > :10:42.gets to cause mischief and mayhem at home, just living
:10:43. > :10:48.It's something you can never say thank you enough for,
:10:49. > :10:56.because it has changed our lives and it has saved Elliott's life.

:11:57. > :12:01.in the square in Portsmouth has been growing rapidly over the past hour
:12:02. > :12:06.or so. People are riding all the time, with things like bedding,
:12:07. > :12:11.clothes, food, toys, essentials of life for the people over in Syria.
:12:12. > :12:16.There is a huge queue of cars waiting to off-load more supplies.
:12:17. > :12:20.It really is absolutely amazing. As you mentioned, this has been
:12:21. > :12:26.organised by the grassroots charity Don't Hate, Donate. This is
:12:27. > :12:32.incredible? It really is. Portsmouth is
:12:33. > :12:37.fantastic. How important is it to get these aid
:12:38. > :12:41.supplies over to Syria? It is essential, this is life-saving
:12:42. > :12:45.essential aid. We have got lots of medicine, food, clothing,
:12:46. > :12:50.everything. This is desperately needed. How long
:12:51. > :12:55.will it take to get the people that you're collecting these things for?
:12:56. > :12:59.Between 2-3 weeks to get it inside Syria.
:13:00. > :13:03.Do you have a network to deliver it once it is in Syria?
:13:04. > :13:08.Yes, we have sent tonnes of aid already. The path to get it
:13:09. > :13:13.distributed inside Syria is well-established.
:13:14. > :13:17.Thank you, people have got until 8pm this evening 's get more supplies to

:13:43. > :13:49.and told me about what he has seen and heard.
:13:50. > :13:57.I've been very much in a city at war. It is a city divided, West
:13:58. > :14:01.Aleppo, the government-controlled area, where most of the citizens
:14:02. > :14:05.live, and life is pretty normal that apart from the war has been
:14:06. > :14:10.constantly bombarded from the rebels on the East. Then you have East
:14:11. > :14:15.Aleppo, I have been travelling to several districts that have just
:14:16. > :14:19.been liberated by the Syrian Army. The scenery around there is
:14:20. > :14:24.shocking, the districts are utterly devastated. These are some of the
:14:25. > :14:32.pictures that we are seeing on television here. There is a mixture,
:14:33. > :14:36.L bombarded, and most of the devastation is actually on street to
:14:37. > :14:41.street battles. Why did you go out there?
:14:42. > :14:45.I went to see what is really happening on the ground, to meet the
:14:46. > :14:49.people and to hear voices. They are coming with horrific stories of what
:14:50. > :14:53.has been going on in East Aleppo, what they have experienced at the
:14:54. > :14:57.hands of the rebels... Do they still have hope?
:14:58. > :15:02.They have hopeful stop you see in the eyes of the people who have come
:15:03. > :15:06.out, they are delighted to be out and say. In the reception centres
:15:07. > :15:10.they are being given free food, free medical care and accommodation, they
:15:11. > :15:14.are saying, thank God they are out of that situation. Even what is
:15:15. > :15:19.remarkable, even in some of these destroyed streets, you are seeing
:15:20. > :15:22.bulldozers already clearing away the rubble, some of the families want to
:15:23. > :15:26.go back to their homes and start living within them.
:15:27. > :15:30.So even though the chaos are still going on, there is becoming some
:15:31. > :15:34.order, and he would say that this is a city and a people trying to
:15:35. > :15:39.recover? Yes, this huge trauma. And yet the
:15:40. > :15:44.people are determined to recover. It has been remarkable and inspiring to
:15:45. > :15:47.see. Even now, people are saying we want to go back to our homes. Even
:15:48. > :15:55.the shelves but we have there. We want to go and try and make rebuild
:15:56. > :15:58.the city. There is a hope for the end to the violence, and that is the
:15:59. > :16:00.most important thing people are really keen to have.
:16:01. > :16:09.Thank you very much indeed. Let's move on to sport. We are going
:16:10. > :16:15.to look ahead to Tokyo 2020, aren't we? A new sport?
:16:16. > :16:25.You know how you're seeing sports presenters drive you up the wall?
:16:26. > :16:26.I don't say that! Climbing, you are going to be
:16:27. > :16:29.fantastic! At the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo
:16:30. > :16:32.a new sport will be on show. Climbing is a sport gaining
:16:33. > :16:34.in popularity, with training centres popping up across the South
:16:35. > :16:36.for all ages. One of them - the Climbing Project
:16:37. > :16:39.in Poole - has been celebrating its third birthday and invited
:16:40. > :16:42.new recruits for taster sessions. The Climbing Project is a hidden
:16:43. > :16:51.gem, based in an old sports centre that went bust nine years ago,
:16:52. > :16:54.it has been transformed There are sessions to learn
:16:55. > :17:04.parkour, circus skills, and taekwondo, but the main hall
:17:05. > :17:08.is devoted to climbing. The climbing has been
:17:09. > :17:10.sort of word-of-mouth, we have now got a big base of people
:17:11. > :17:14.who have never climbed before, and they have heard about it
:17:15. > :17:17.through friends, and then they have And now they use it
:17:18. > :17:21.as their alternative to a gym, because it is a bit more sociable,
:17:22. > :17:24.it is a bit more fun, A myriad of different hand and foot
:17:25. > :17:29.holds give the climber at every Climbing is a co-ordinated sport,
:17:30. > :17:33.but it's also a sport that Celebrating their third birthday,
:17:34. > :17:37.professional climber Leah Crane has come to give
:17:38. > :17:41.a masterclass in bouldering. I think that bouldering is probably
:17:42. > :17:44.the easiest inlet to climbing that somebody who is completely
:17:45. > :17:47.new to the sport can have. You essentially walk in a room full
:17:48. > :17:51.of very friendly people that are all trying to do the same thing,
:17:52. > :17:54.which is to get to the top of the wall, and everybody
:17:55. > :17:57.is there to help each other, and it is just a really nice vibe
:17:58. > :18:00.within bouldering walls. Climbing is definitely a very
:18:01. > :18:10.male dominant sport. My motto in climbing is try to be
:18:11. > :18:14.a strong as a but climb like a girl, and in that I mean that as long
:18:15. > :18:17.as you can have a really good technique, which, generalising,
:18:18. > :18:19.women do more than men because they are weaker,
:18:20. > :18:22.so they have to find different ways to get up the wall than just pulling
:18:23. > :18:25.themselves up with their arms. And if you can have the best of both
:18:26. > :18:28.worlds, you're really It is the best training
:18:29. > :18:31.facility in the area, so when it is cold and wet outside,
:18:32. > :18:34.it provides the ideal facility. I think it's brilliant,
:18:35. > :18:36.because it enables my daughter to just have a play and see
:18:37. > :18:40.if she likes it or not. The future looks good
:18:41. > :18:48.for the Climbing Project. With the addition of climbing
:18:49. > :18:50.into the 2020 Olympics, sites like this should
:18:51. > :18:53.see their numbers grow. Hopefully, with its going to be
:18:54. > :18:56.in the 2020 Olympics, it will mean that climbing actually
:18:57. > :18:59.get more funding, more support. Climbing walls like this might get
:19:00. > :19:02.more support in terms of getting more children on there,
:19:03. > :19:05.kids programmes, and so that there is definitely more options
:19:06. > :19:09.and opportunities for people to really progress in their climbing
:19:10. > :19:18.and get the support they need. Hampshire sailor Alex Thomson says
:19:19. > :19:20.he's entering a critical period of the Vendee Globe

:19:41. > :19:44.able to come to me now, and the guys behind me are three
:19:45. > :19:47.or four days behind me, so it's a bit weird, but now
:19:48. > :19:52.is the time where I need to be the most careful and make sure
