:00:00. > :00:14.In tonight's programme: A double whammy for the Isle of Wight -
:00:15. > :00:17.hundreds of operations are cancelled at St Mary's Hospital and some
:00:18. > :00:22.patients are sent to an independent unit to clear the backlog.
:00:23. > :00:28.Here at Saint Mary 's they have cancelled all day surgery at the
:00:29. > :00:31.last three weeks because they are so busy and running out of bed.
:00:32. > :00:33.Meanwhile, the island's two leading councillors step down -
:00:34. > :00:36.they say they won't act as agents of austerity.
:00:37. > :00:41.In a sense we are just dying a slow death here on the Isle of Wight and
:00:42. > :00:46.short of government intervention I fear that is the course we are.
:00:47. > :00:48.Also tonight: Powered by cow waste - Reading's methane-fuelled
:00:49. > :00:51.And riding high, the Dorset biker celebrating a British first
:00:52. > :01:05.I'm really drained, physically and emotionally but I'm so happy and it
:01:06. > :01:18.is a dream come true for me. Almost all routine surgery
:01:19. > :01:21.on the Isle of Wight has been cancelled since before Christmas
:01:22. > :01:22.because emergency patients BBC South has learned that more
:01:23. > :01:36.than 260 operations have been Some patients have had to be sent to
:01:37. > :01:51.Southampton to get their treatment done on time.
:01:52. > :01:53.With a rapidly ageing population putting increasing
:01:54. > :01:55.pressure on social care, and major cuts in NHS budgets ahead,
:01:56. > :01:58.the system is facing huge challenges over the next few years.Our
:01:59. > :02:00.Health Correspondent David Fenton is at St Mary's Hospital tonight.
:02:01. > :02:02.David, just how bad are things there?
:02:03. > :02:06.I'm going to start with some good news, today for the first time in
:02:07. > :02:08.three weeks they have been able to do some day surgery because they
:02:09. > :02:11.have been cancelling pretty much everything, including some cancer
:02:12. > :02:18.cases since before Christmas and the problem is the beds are full of
:02:19. > :02:22.emergency patients. 267 cancelled operations, they won't catch up on
:02:23. > :02:26.them so they are now sending some patients to an independent treatment
:02:27. > :02:32.centre run by a private company for the NHS at no extra cost. It cost
:02:33. > :02:37.exactly the same as the NHS, on exactly the same contract and
:02:38. > :02:44.payment method so patients can choose to come to us were rather
:02:45. > :02:50.than waiting. We cancel very few operations.
:02:51. > :02:55.The problem here at St Mary's Hospital is that it is not so much
:02:56. > :02:59.treating the patients, it is finding somewhere to put them.
:03:00. > :03:08.This hospital is full and there are 31 emergency cases on their way in.
:03:09. > :03:13.It's been really busy here. From Christmas Day onwards, it's been
:03:14. > :03:18.busier than I think many of us have remembered it. Over time with got
:03:19. > :03:22.better at dealing with surges in capacity, and in spite of that we've
:03:23. > :03:26.had very large numbers of patients into the hospital and really
:03:27. > :03:31.struggled to get patients out as well. Many patients are elderly,
:03:32. > :03:39.this man has a heart condition and lives on his own but he stopped
:03:40. > :03:44.taking his medication. I'm not a charity person, I never have been.
:03:45. > :03:51.It's easy to say you are taking them when you're not. Age UK found him at
:03:52. > :03:57.home with no heat, light, no food and no money. It is not uncommon to
:03:58. > :04:07.hear similar stories to this, people without food and light. We saw one
:04:08. > :04:11.gentleman home alone, with no money on his mobile phone and not able to
:04:12. > :04:18.top it up. If we hadn't seen him, we don't think it would be here. Where
:04:19. > :04:22.previously would have done more low-level support, shopping and
:04:23. > :04:25.befriending, we are really now going out and keeping people fired and
:04:26. > :04:32.warmth and making sure they can get through day to day. The older we
:04:33. > :04:37.get, the more we cost the NHS. The average 20-year-old costs the NHS
:04:38. > :04:42.about ?900 per year, for someone in the mid-50s that's doubled to almost
:04:43. > :04:49.?2000 per year and by the time we reach 85 it has risen to nearly
:04:50. > :04:55.?8,000 per year. It all adds up to a financial time bomb for the NHS,
:04:56. > :05:00.that now needs to save ?2.2 billion in the south. We will see GP
:05:01. > :05:04.surgeries closing because there's a lot of them, they cost a lot to run
:05:05. > :05:11.and many are running out of money. We will see hospitals closing, and
:05:12. > :05:15.A merging. None of which would be popular, but neither would the
:05:16. > :05:18.alternative - and NHS that runs out of money.
:05:19. > :05:25.You mention in your film they have got to save at least ?2 billion in
:05:26. > :05:28.the south, how will they do that? They are already working on plans to
:05:29. > :05:31.manage that over the next three years but let me give you some
:05:32. > :05:38.figures to show you the scale of what's ahead. Hampshire and the Isle
:05:39. > :05:45.of Wight needs to save ?577 million, Sussex and Surrey, 653 million, and
:05:46. > :05:49.Dorset ?229 million of savings but that is in the future. The crisis
:05:50. > :05:54.now for this hospital and many others is how to deal with this
:05:55. > :05:58.surge of patients they are seeing, emergency patients, but also how to
:05:59. > :06:01.get them out of the hospital that don't need to be there but cannot go
:06:02. > :06:04.because there isn't the proper social care. David, thanks very
:06:05. > :06:06.much. And you can see more on the crisis
:06:07. > :06:10.in Isle of Wight Care on Inside Out The crisis in healthcare is just one
:06:11. > :06:15.of many battles being fought The Leader and Deputy Leader
:06:16. > :06:19.of the Isle of Wight Council stepped down today in what they say
:06:20. > :06:21.is a coordinated effort to highlight the island's
:06:22. > :06:23.struggle with austerity. In a statement, Jonathan Bacon
:06:24. > :06:25.and Steve Stubbings said party politics and ego were being put
:06:26. > :06:28.before the concerns of islanders. Our political editor
:06:29. > :06:32.Peter Henley's with me now. They say they were frustrated
:06:33. > :06:44.with government cuts and growing demand but also frustration
:06:45. > :06:47.that they were trying to do politics in a different way and found
:06:48. > :06:49.they couldn't get central The independents took control
:06:50. > :06:54.from the Conservatives Quite a sweep, winning
:06:55. > :06:59.20 seats in one go. They were promising to put
:07:00. > :07:05.people before politics. Now they're saying politics has
:07:06. > :07:10.beaten them, and with four months left before the elections,
:07:11. > :07:12.half the Cabinet have handed back their jobs suggesting
:07:13. > :07:20.someone else take over. It would only be someone wedded to
:07:21. > :07:26.the Government's austerity agenda that could, I presume, with any real
:07:27. > :07:30.dignity or honesty carry through these policies and for me is not
:07:31. > :07:33.possible. I don't believe in them and I think people are being really
:07:34. > :07:35.damaged by what's going on and a lot of those people are people I really
:07:36. > :07:37.care about. They accept they may be
:07:38. > :07:41.accused of being cowards. In fact the Conservative group also
:07:42. > :07:44.says they've failed in their duty, and Labour called it an abdication
:07:45. > :07:47.of responsibility, but they say it would be dishonest to keep taking
:07:48. > :07:54.decisions they don't believe in. They are also pressing central
:07:55. > :07:58.government to give more powers to a locally elected mayor, what's
:07:59. > :08:06.happening there? It was part of the plan to take more local control.
:08:07. > :08:19.I do believe the Government are still focused on locally elected
:08:20. > :08:22.mayors, and they have a right to talk about the investment we need.
:08:23. > :08:29.So does it look like the island won't be part of this?
:08:30. > :08:36.We will know on Wednesday who is taking charge at a new meeting and
:08:37. > :08:40.the Portsmouth and Southampton leaders have booked a place on the
:08:41. > :08:43.ferry to see who it is. Thanks very much.
:08:44. > :08:47.The family of a man killed by a van driver who'd been using his phone
:08:48. > :08:50.to send a text message say they're outraged he's been allowed
:08:51. > :08:51.to appeal against his nine-year prison sentence.
:08:52. > :08:54.Lee Martin was cycling on the A31 near Bentley in August 2015
:08:55. > :08:57.when he was hit by a van travelling at 60 miles an hour.
:08:58. > :09:00.Christopher Gard was sentenced to nine years for causing death
:09:01. > :09:03.He'd already been convicted of using his phone eight times
:09:04. > :09:06.at the wheel, but magistrates had allowed him to keep his licence six
:09:07. > :09:10.weeks earlier after he said his livelihood depended on it.
:09:11. > :09:19.He's taken my brother 's life, he's robbed us of Lee Martin and he is
:09:20. > :09:23.replaceable and this bloke is now trying to weasel his way out of it.
:09:24. > :09:28.I want there to be justice for my brother and also, you know, what
:09:29. > :09:31.kind of signal does it send out if the sentences reduced?
:09:32. > :09:34.An inquest has heard no-one will be prosecuted over the death
:09:35. > :09:36.of a soldier from West Sussex in a "friendly fire" incident
:09:37. > :09:40.Lance-Corporal James Brynin from Shoreham died during an operation
:09:41. > :09:42.in Helmand Province after being shot by a colleague.
:09:43. > :09:44.The inquest was adjourned last year amid concerns his death may
:09:45. > :10:04.Once Corporal James brining was carrying out work in Central Helmand
:10:05. > :10:08.on October 2013, 22 years old when he died. An inquest opened in March
:10:09. > :10:14.last year attended by his parents. It heard evidence from Lance
:10:15. > :10:18.Corporal Kelly, who said he'd mistaken James foreign insurgents
:10:19. > :10:23.and described how he'd come under fire and believed he saw an
:10:24. > :10:27.insurgent close by. He fired four or five rounds in quick succession,
:10:28. > :10:33.four minutes later he said that when I heard a man down screaming in my
:10:34. > :10:37.ear. In court he accepted he had shot James. After six days the
:10:38. > :10:42.inquest was halted amid concerns there may have been a homicide
:10:43. > :10:46.defence. At the start of today's proceedings, the coroner told the
:10:47. > :10:52.court that the service prosecuting authority had held an internal
:10:53. > :10:56.review, together with evidence from the first six days of the inquest.
:10:57. > :11:02.It decided there was insufficient evidence of a homicide, therefore
:11:03. > :11:07.the coroner 's inquest but now resume. James' family were told that
:11:08. > :11:11.decision last November. The court heard evidence the shooting has had
:11:12. > :11:17.a profound effect on Mark Kelly, who had broken down in tears in an
:11:18. > :11:21.interview with the Household Cavalry. He said to have learned
:11:22. > :11:24.from his mistakes and will be considered for future deployments.
:11:25. > :11:27.The inquest hearing will continue tomorrow.
:11:28. > :11:30.A girl who was born with brain damage at Poole Hospital nine years
:11:31. > :11:32.ago has been awarded more than seven ?7 million compensation.
:11:33. > :11:35.The child suffered near total oxygen starvation in the later stages
:11:36. > :11:40.Poole Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has admitted being fully
:11:41. > :11:42.liable for the injuries, which left her physically disabled.
:11:43. > :11:44.It's apologised and agreed to pay her a lump sum,
:11:45. > :11:53.plus annual payments to cover the cost of her care.
:11:54. > :12:00.Stay with us for the weather forecast with Alexis.
:12:01. > :12:08.After a soggy start of the week, the forecast is mainly settled. Sunny
:12:09. > :12:11.spells at time, a cold spell and mainly dry.
:12:12. > :12:13.A high-tech airborne radar system that'll be the eyes and ears
:12:14. > :12:16.of the Navy's new Portsmouth based aircraft carriers has finally got
:12:17. > :12:24.The way decisions about the Crowsnest radar have been made
:12:25. > :12:27.has come in for criticism from the National Audit Office.
:12:28. > :12:29.But today in Portsmouth the government announced
:12:30. > :12:31.the ?269 million project is going ahead, helping to secure
:12:32. > :12:49.The Royal Navy's big new aircraft carriers will need plenty of
:12:50. > :12:54.protection. With radar equipment on board and in the sky providing early
:12:55. > :12:59.warning of incoming threats. Now the Ministry of Defence is going ahead
:13:00. > :13:04.with the project to fit the latest Crowsnest radar system to Merlin
:13:05. > :13:07.helicopters like these. Looks over the horizon, looks out
:13:08. > :13:13.long-distance, looks high and back covers the gaps. It's a big
:13:14. > :13:17.contract, ?269 million. The Government had faced strong
:13:18. > :13:21.criticism over delays to the project, but today on board HMS
:13:22. > :13:25.dragon in Portsmouth, the message from the minister was positive.
:13:26. > :13:29.Obviously really important to get these things right and it's a really
:13:30. > :13:33.good news announcement today. It's going to sustain almost 200 jobs
:13:34. > :13:37.here in the South. But you would accept that if ministers had got to
:13:38. > :13:42.move on in terms of the positive decision-making, we could have been
:13:43. > :13:45.here a lot earlier? Innovation is really important and we do sometimes
:13:46. > :13:49.have to make adjustments during the procurement process to make sure we
:13:50. > :13:53.have the right cutting edge capability. The Navy is confident
:13:54. > :13:58.the new system will be up and running, and with crews trained by
:13:59. > :14:03.the time the first the aircraft carrier becomes operational in 2020.
:14:04. > :14:07.We accelerated the programme to meet those dates. At the moment we are
:14:08. > :14:12.looking slightly ahead of the carrier requirements so it's looking
:14:13. > :14:17.good. The contract is a boost for industry. It will secure 80 posts in
:14:18. > :14:22.Crawley and another 60 here in have and where they are using the latest
:14:23. > :14:32.technology to make the new system is easy to use as possible. -- in
:14:33. > :14:34.Havant. Altogether 30 of the Navy's Merlin helicopters will be modified

:14:43. > :14:45.months of strikes, has launched It comes amid a new row
:14:46. > :14:54.about whether the drivers' union has changed its attitude to what's
:14:55. > :14:56.called Driver Only Operation. Our Transport Correspondent
:14:57. > :14:59.Paul Clifton is here. Well, Sally, let's
:15:00. > :15:11.see what's on offer. Govia Thameslink Railway,
:15:12. > :15:14.Southern's parent company, wants maintain a constant pool
:15:15. > :15:16.of 200 drivers in training. That's for a four-day
:15:17. > :15:19.week, doing 35 hours. And most drivers work a fifth day
:15:20. > :15:22.as voluntary overtime, Most train operators
:15:23. > :15:26.rely on that overtime. Drivers earn more, and companies can
:15:27. > :15:30.employ fewer people, But an overtime ban by the drivers'
:15:31. > :15:38.union is biting hard on Southern. Even on days with no strike,
:15:39. > :15:41.like today, it means around one Now, let me remind you of
:15:42. > :15:59.something the drivers' Our view is that in the increasingly
:16:00. > :16:07.longer trains in particular, we've got 1100 people, and nobody on the
:16:08. > :16:09.train to serve the critical role to say it is unsafe.
:16:10. > :16:11.Rail magazine has uncovered a letter, signed by Mick Whelan,
:16:12. > :16:14.in which he agrees to run precisely that sort of train.
:16:15. > :16:18.Aslef agrees to drive and operate 12 car DOO trains, it says.
:16:19. > :16:20.The newest, longest trains, carrying the most people,
:16:21. > :16:24.of the type used on Southern and Gatwick Express.
:16:25. > :16:29.Aslef says it has opposed driver-only operation for 15 years.
:16:30. > :16:33.Yet six years ago, here it is signing up to more of it,
:16:34. > :16:40.The union says it was honouring an extension
:16:41. > :16:46.But clearly here it was accepting drivers should do what it now calls

:17:06. > :17:08.But some campaigners say it's been a long time coming and parts
:17:09. > :17:27.Having one big route will hopefully join all those cycle lanes into a
:17:28. > :17:30.cycle network and that's what cyclists really need because you're
:17:31. > :17:34.not just travelling down one road from most journeys, you're going to
:17:35. > :17:36.be travelling halfway across town and you need a route that will take

:18:22. > :18:26.gas double-decker bus, powered by a sustainable form of the gas fuel,
:18:27. > :18:31.and the source comes from cow waste, their bedding, food stock and other

:18:59. > :19:03.and cleanest ones available. It also has some devices you may have not
:19:04. > :19:09.seen in the past such as free 4G Wi-Fi and coat hooks. It's also got
:19:10. > :19:18.a mobile phone charger, you simply take it out of its case, plug it
:19:19. > :19:23.into your phone and leave it to charge whilst you are on the go.
:19:24. > :19:25.It's got some great things on there and it's exciting that it is

:21:49. > :21:51.Earlier today we had this update as he attempts to catch pre-race
:21:52. > :22:01.It's about trying to get as close to our man as possible and I'm
:22:02. > :22:05.struggling a little bit at the moment, not catching him as much as
:22:06. > :22:09.I would like. I'm struggling a little bit with the steering. I have
:22:10. > :22:15.some play in the steering system which basically means when I get to
:22:16. > :22:20.high speeds, the boat becomes a little bit uncontrollable. So I've
:22:21. > :22:25.had a few very near accidental jibes. It is still all to play for.
:22:26. > :22:29.We will have to see what happens but one thing you can count on, I'm
:22:30. > :22:32.going to fight until the end. We are with you, Alex, all the way until

:22:35. > :22:36.Claude Puel described his side's loss at Burnley this
:22:37. > :22:37.weekend as incredible. Southampton failed to take a string
:22:38. > :22:40.of chances and paid the price when Joey Barton's free kick beat
:22:41. > :22:43.Fraser Forster 12 minutes from time. It was Southampton's fourth
:22:44. > :22:45.consecutive Premier League defeat and they're down to 13th
:22:46. > :22:48.in the table. Here's the key headlines from
:22:49. > :23:00.the rest of the weekend's football. 19 months after signing, Tyrone
:23:01. > :23:04.Minks made his first start for Bournemouth but it was a day to
:23:05. > :23:08.forget. It started well enough, Ryan Fraser going over in the box in the
:23:09. > :23:17.first minute, Stanislas converting from the spot. Eddie Howe criticised
:23:18. > :23:25.for his team selection in the FA Cup, he now says there's everything
:23:26. > :23:29.to for. The unfortunate Mings deflected in Hull's third.
:23:30. > :23:33.Right and suffered their first defeat since September and the
:23:34. > :23:37.manager held his hands up. They are down to second now in the
:23:38. > :23:43.championships. It was the chaplain show at Fratton
:23:44. > :23:47.Park. They got three points despite chaplain missing this first half
:23:48. > :23:53.penalty. He would soon make amends bow, lurking at the far post to turn
:23:54. > :24:00.in Carl Baker's deflected effort. The goal of the game not, Gavin
:24:01. > :24:04.Massey picks his spot into the far corner. But chaplain got the winner
:24:05. > :24:05.and Portsmouth are fourth in the league to table.
:24:06. > :24:08.Finally from me, congratulations to Britain's oldest living Olympian
:24:09. > :24:10.who's celebrating his 100th birthday today.
:24:11. > :24:12.This is Bill Lucas, from Cowfold in West Sussex.
:24:13. > :24:13.He's in the striped top, running in the 5,000 metres
:24:14. > :24:19.He didn't make the final though, which he blames
:24:20. > :24:26.That's because he'd been due to run in 1940 and '44,
:24:27. > :24:31.but the Games were cancelled and he was called up to the RAF.
:24:32. > :24:39.He said the key to a long life is a whiskey every evening. We have the
:24:40. > :24:43.weather for the week ahead. Yes, a little bit cold at times through the
:24:44. > :24:46.course of the week with perhaps a little bit of frost.
:24:47. > :24:49.Sue Cheney captured the grey conditions whilst walking her dog

:24:54. > :24:56.And Chris Proudfoot took this picture of the low tide
:24:57. > :25:05.Quite a grey day with outbreaks of rain at times but the weather ahead
:25:06. > :25:09.is on improving picture. It should be mainly dry through most of this
:25:10. > :25:14.week with temperatures struggling on Sundays. High pressure remains in
:25:15. > :25:18.charge of the weather, it should be mainly dry. The possibility of some
:25:19. > :25:25.frost overnight tonight and also on Wednesday morning. We may have a
:25:26. > :25:30.frost first thing tomorrow, milder temperatures for western parts and
:25:31. > :25:34.we are looking at loads of freezing. A cloudy start to western areas
:25:35. > :25:38.tomorrow but the cloud will start to be nibbled away by the sunshine.
:25:39. > :25:44.Sunny spells making an appearance, more cloud through the latter part
:25:45. > :25:48.of the afternoon. Otherwise it is going to be a lovely, sunny day with
:25:49. > :25:54.temperatures reaching as high as seven Celsius so in some parts it
:25:55. > :25:59.will feel chilly. More so overnight and under the clear skies the
:26:00. > :26:03.temperatures will plunge to minus forced Celsius in the countryside.
:26:04. > :26:14.Light winds to start Wednesday, and there will be a frost. In some
:26:15. > :26:16.places only reaching a high temperature of four Celsius. More
:26:17. > :26:20.cloud in general on Thursday, we will have this weather front across
:26:21. > :26:24.the country. High pressure still dominating the weather through much
:26:25. > :26:32.of the week. Thursday, temperatures will reach around seven Celsius, and
:26:33. > :26:36.a similar scenario also on Friday. We are expecting a good deal of
:26:37. > :26:40.cloud but Thursday and Friday should be mainly dry. Where the cloud is
:26:41. > :26:46.thickest we should have the odd spot of drizzle. Temperatures on Friday
:26:47. > :26:51.reaching age Celsius, so more mild than tomorrow and Wednesday. High
:26:52. > :26:57.pressure remains in charge of our weather, it should stay mainly dry
:26:58. > :27:03.at the weekend, staying generally cloudy.
:27:04. > :27:09.Looking at the weather, Alex Thompson the Gosport sailor is doing
:27:10. > :27:13.something like 30 knots, we should look at the weather forecast for him
:27:14. > :27:19.to see what will happen. And we heard him talking there, dramatic
:27:20. > :27:22.stuff and the whole interview is on our Facebook page. That's it from
:27:23. > :27:26.us, more tomorrow. Good night.
