:00:07. > :00:12.Hello and welcome to South Today, I'm Sally Taylor. Tonight, a third
:00:13. > :00:16.of those living with eating disorders say they are not getting
:00:17. > :00:22.the help they need. A charity says GPs don't have the right training. I
:00:23. > :00:28.was so desperate, I actually think I would have died, honestly. Five
:00:29. > :00:33.dogs, one walker and the local council. Join us for the shaggy dog
:00:34. > :00:37.story in Gosport. A lick of paint and a brush up, the house where Jane
:00:38. > :00:42.Austen lived prepares to celebrate the novelist's life. And the
:00:43. > :00:47.country's oldest partially sighted cricketer tells us why playing the
:00:48. > :00:50.game keeps her young. I have a great retirement because I don't do any of
:00:51. > :00:51.the things I ought to do like ironing or dusting or any of those
:00:52. > :01:00.things! Family doctors need better training
:01:01. > :01:03.to deal with patients That's the call from one charity
:01:04. > :01:09.which supports sufferers. More than 1.5 million people
:01:10. > :01:11.in the UK are affected And there are more deaths
:01:12. > :01:16.from these conditions The charity Beat says three out
:01:17. > :01:24.of ten people with an eating disorder do not receive a referral
:01:25. > :01:27.from their GP to a mental health In a moment, we'll hear from a GP
:01:28. > :01:33.about this issue, but, first, Anjana Gadgil has been talking
:01:34. > :01:36.to a woman from Hampshire who struggled to get
:01:37. > :01:40.the help she needed. Said this is why a claim into it,
:01:41. > :01:46.years ago, I was looking at it. Natasha was diagnosed with anorexia
:01:47. > :01:49.by her GP when she was 18 I didn't have a period
:01:50. > :02:07.for about three or four years. She calorie counted all her food,
:02:08. > :02:14.even weighing her lettuce, but she knew she was mentally ill and wanted
:02:15. > :02:19.to get better. I went to GPs who weighed me and at that point, said
:02:20. > :02:22.I'd slightly increased my weight. I was told I was only slightly
:02:23. > :02:28.underweight and just needed to eat more. Eventually, she met a GP who
:02:29. > :02:32.understood and referred her to a specialist unit but the charity Beat
:02:33. > :02:37.says her story is typical, with three in ten people not receiving a
:02:38. > :02:44.referral from their GP and half saying their GP's care was poor. The
:02:45. > :02:48.referral criteria can be limited by weight measure which we know should
:02:49. > :02:52.not happen. The severity of eating disorders cannot be measured by a
:02:53. > :02:56.BMI or a number on the scale. It needs to be measured by what they
:02:57. > :03:00.are which are serious mental illnesses. The Royal College of GPs
:03:01. > :03:02.said it is simply not true that GPs are not trained to identify and
:03:03. > :03:07.treat patients with eating disorders. As with all other aspects
:03:08. > :03:13.of mental health, eating disorders are included in the compressive GP
:03:14. > :03:18.curriculum. Got to the point where I couldn't cope on my own. Natasha
:03:19. > :03:24.feels she was lucky to get support when she did. I no longer knew what
:03:25. > :03:25.healthy eating was. I was so desperate, and I actually think I
:03:26. > :03:32.would have died. Earlier, I spoke to
:03:33. > :03:35.Dr Elizabeth McNaught. She suffered an eating
:03:36. > :03:37.disorder as a teenager Now, aged 25, she's written a book
:03:38. > :03:40.about her experience. I began by asking her how she first
:03:41. > :03:46.got access to treatment. So, I was incredibly
:03:47. > :03:49.fortunate that when I was 14, my mum took me to the GP and we had
:03:50. > :03:52.a mixed experience with the GP. But what was crucial
:03:53. > :03:55.is that she made a referral that day to the mental health services
:03:56. > :03:58.and I got involved with those. Regarding where I am now,
:03:59. > :04:01.I'm actually very open in saying 11 years later, I wouldn't say I've
:04:02. > :04:04.recovered and that's because I did not get effective
:04:05. > :04:08.talking therapy early enough. And that referral is
:04:09. > :04:11.clearly crucial, isn't it? So it must be worrying when you hear
:04:12. > :04:17.things like there are three in ten people who go to their GP for help
:04:18. > :04:20.who are not being referred. I think that's a combination
:04:21. > :04:24.of education for GPs and for health care providers to know how crucial
:04:25. > :04:28.that early intervention is. We know from research and recent
:04:29. > :04:31.studies that early intervention Do you think it is down to training
:04:32. > :04:46.as far as GPs are concerned, and not understanding
:04:47. > :04:48.what they are confronted by? How much training were you given
:04:49. > :04:52.in your study of medicine So, throughout five years at medical
:04:53. > :04:55.school, we only got two Obviously, I am a junior doctor
:04:56. > :04:59.at the moment and I don't know But two hours out of five years
:05:00. > :05:04.is simply not adequate. So you would say that GPs need more
:05:05. > :05:06.training in this field? Eating disorders are on the increase
:05:07. > :05:11.and they have such a high morbidity and mortality that we need to be
:05:12. > :05:16.reflecting that in our training. When they go there, they want help
:05:17. > :05:21.at that time and we hear so many stories of the delays and they get
:05:22. > :05:23.worse and terrible, tragic What should change apart
:05:24. > :05:26.from early intervention? We need to be educating health
:05:27. > :05:29.professionals as a whole, not just GPs, not just doctors,
:05:30. > :05:34.but nurses, health care assistants. We need to be educating
:05:35. > :05:36.everyone so they can pick up the early signs and symptoms
:05:37. > :05:39.and what to do about it. We also need to be working
:05:40. > :05:42.with the government to improve the services that we provide,
:05:43. > :05:45.to reduce waiting times and get And just to finish, very
:05:46. > :05:49.briefly, what role does It is often, people's eating
:05:50. > :05:55.disorders often feel like it is just them suffering
:05:56. > :05:58.and it is just their Eating disorders affect the whole
:05:59. > :06:03.family and we need to be educating family and supporting them
:06:04. > :06:05.through this journey. Dr Elizabeth McNaught,
:06:06. > :06:07.thank you very much. And, there's more information
:06:08. > :06:10.about eating disorders A man has been found
:06:11. > :06:16.guilty of murdering his girlfriend with a lump hammer
:06:17. > :06:19.at their flat in Bournemouth. 50-year-old James Augustus John
:06:20. > :06:23.D'Arcy killed 38-year-old Hayley at the bedsit flat they shared
:06:24. > :06:28.in Derby Road. A post-mortem examination found that
:06:29. > :06:30.Hayley Dean suffered A 15-year-old boy has been arrested
:06:31. > :06:38.on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm,
:06:39. > :06:40.after a serious incident at a school A second boy is being treated
:06:41. > :06:44.in hospital after what's believed to have been a fight between two
:06:45. > :06:47.teenagers at the Oasis Police say they have
:06:48. > :06:50.seized a "bladed article", Officers say they are working
:06:51. > :06:56.with the school to ascertain An inquest has heard that
:06:57. > :07:02.a Southampton man was stabbed to death after he stormed
:07:03. > :07:05.into a flat with a sawn-off shotgun 49-year-old Michael Freshwater
:07:06. > :07:09.was found dead in the flat The three dealers were held
:07:10. > :07:14.over his death but never The coroner today gave
:07:15. > :07:19.a narrative verdict, stating Mr Freshwater died
:07:20. > :07:23.from a stab wound to the chest. There's a row brewing in Gosport
:07:24. > :07:26.over the number of dogs one person The Borough Council's
:07:27. > :07:30.proposing to cut the current It claims the measure will help
:07:31. > :07:36.deal with those who fail But there's anger amongst some
:07:37. > :07:40.dog walkers and owners, Nushka, Buddy, Storm,
:07:41. > :07:46.Mowgli and Polly, heading out on one But the pack may soon
:07:47. > :07:53.have to be split up, with council plans to cut the number
:07:54. > :08:00.of dogs that one person's allowed I'm quite upset because it feels
:08:01. > :08:04.like the many are being I make a point, yes,
:08:05. > :08:12.I've got five dogs, it doesn't mean They are very good dogs
:08:13. > :08:17.and I do make sure I clean It's a walk in the park
:08:18. > :08:22.for these five. Dog walker Lisa comes well-prepared.
:08:23. > :08:25.I've got lots and lots of poo bags. But she's worried the change
:08:26. > :08:27.could hurt her business. It's going to mean more petrol costs
:08:28. > :08:30.which means I'm going to have to increase the prices which I don't
:08:31. > :08:36.want to do. And then obviously,
:08:37. > :08:37.I won't get the clients because it is going to be too
:08:38. > :08:40.expensive for them. Government guidance says the maximum
:08:41. > :08:43.number of dogs per handler But it's up to individual councils
:08:44. > :08:47.to set actual limits. So is Gosport barking
:08:48. > :08:52.mad or leading the way? Well, I'm a dog owner
:08:53. > :08:55.and I would have trouble walking with six dogs,
:08:56. > :08:58.to be honest. Four is a more manageable group
:08:59. > :09:01.because it only takes one dog, even if it's not their pack,
:09:02. > :09:04.to be aggressive. I know of dog walkers
:09:05. > :09:07.who walk half a dozen dogs What would you say to someone
:09:08. > :09:15.who says you are interfering too As a council, we need to control
:09:16. > :09:20.what can and can't be done. We would rather everyone
:09:21. > :09:26.acted in a responsible manner but unfortunately,
:09:27. > :09:28.there are those in the minority that always cause problems
:09:29. > :09:32.for the majority. Anyone breaking the new rules
:09:33. > :09:35.could face a ?100 fine. Jessica Parker, BBC
:09:36. > :09:41.South Today, Gosport. Plans for nearly 100 homes
:09:42. > :09:44.in Sonning Common near Reading have Campaigners said granting permission
:09:45. > :09:49.would have been a betrayal, because only 26 homes at the site
:09:50. > :09:53.were included in the village's neighbourhood plan, voted
:09:54. > :09:56.through by residents last year. Developers have been refused
:09:57. > :10:15.permission to build 95 After today's glorious sunshine,
:10:16. > :10:17.there's a scent of spring in the air but sadly, that's going to be washed
:10:18. > :10:32.away with the arrival of rain. Hampshire and Sussex Police have
:10:33. > :10:34.both been judged to "require improvement" in a report
:10:35. > :10:36.by Her Majesty's The forces have been told they need
:10:37. > :10:40.to raise standards on keeping people It says it's "unacceptable" that
:10:41. > :10:43.two-thirds of Hampshire's investigations into domestic abuse
:10:44. > :10:45.don't progress, because the victim Sussex was found to be
:10:46. > :10:48."inconsistent" in the quality Portsmouth has been named as one
:10:49. > :10:56.of 11 locations that has submitted a bid to become the UK City
:10:57. > :11:06.of Culture for 2021. The city is of course most well
:11:07. > :11:09.known for its rich naval heritage. And how can it beat off
:11:10. > :11:13.competition from the likes Edward Sault is live
:11:14. > :11:15.at Gunwharf Quays. Ed, this isn't the first time
:11:16. > :11:29.Portsmouth has thrown Portsmouth and Southampton joined
:11:30. > :11:32.forces in the past to become UK cities of culture the 2017 but
:11:33. > :11:37.unfortunately, it was not meant to be and they did not make the short
:11:38. > :11:40.list, Hull and Leicester battled it out instead. Portsmouth have
:11:41. > :11:41.regrouped and they want to go it alone in 2021 and they are pretty
:11:42. > :11:44.convinced they can make a go of it. Do you think you can
:11:45. > :11:46.win it this time? If you're not in it,
:11:47. > :11:50.you can't win it anyway, can you? So our view is that we feel we have
:11:51. > :11:54.such a lot to offer in this city. We have got huge
:11:55. > :11:57.areas of deprivation. To be able to regenerate those areas
:11:58. > :11:59.would be just wonderful. And of course, this
:12:00. > :12:02.would help immensely. Of course, this is something that
:12:03. > :12:05.brings in millions of pounds ?3 million alone is guaranteed
:12:06. > :12:10.by the Heritage Lottery fund. So what's Portsmouth got
:12:11. > :12:19.that its competitors don't? I've been asking people in the city
:12:20. > :12:21.today. I think they've got
:12:22. > :12:23.a great football club. And you can tell by the fan base
:12:24. > :12:29.what it's all about, really. Massive naval history, military
:12:30. > :12:30.history, beautiful Guildhall, I can't put it in words.
:12:31. > :12:35.I just love it! Some came for the America's Cup,
:12:36. > :12:41.of course, and some come for Victoria's festival,
:12:42. > :12:43.so we're beginning to get more of a reputation and I think
:12:44. > :12:46.to build on those things, to bring people into Portsmouth
:12:47. > :12:48.and see what we can offer to the nation, well,
:12:49. > :12:51.to the world, it would be a really Well, Hull is the
:12:52. > :12:54.current title holder. At the beginning of this year,
:12:55. > :12:57.they had a huge fireworks display to celebrate the start of their year
:12:58. > :13:00.as City of Culture. Hull's had over ?1 billion
:13:01. > :13:09.of investment as a result. But what has Portsmouth got to do to
:13:10. > :13:11.win? They had this piece of advice from Hull earlier.
:13:12. > :13:13.What I would say to Portsmouth and what we learned,
:13:14. > :13:16.an awful lot of the world's history was made a new waterfront
:13:17. > :13:19.an awful lot of the world's history was made on your waterfront
:13:20. > :13:22.and your communities were shaped by what happened on the waterfront.
:13:23. > :13:25.And it's about celebrating that and really projecting just
:13:26. > :13:28.what Portsmouth did and what Hull has done for the world.
:13:29. > :13:31.And I'm sure that Portsmouth will want a piece of Hull's success.
:13:32. > :13:42.11 cities vying for the prize which will be narrowed down to two.
:13:43. > :13:46.Portsmouth will be keeping their fingers crossed that they finally
:13:47. > :13:48.make the short list. Back to you. Ed, thank you and good luck to
:13:49. > :13:49.Portsmouth. It was the place where she wrote
:13:50. > :13:52.or revised all of her novels. Jane Austen lived in a red
:13:53. > :13:54.brick house in Chawton in Hampshire for eight years,
:13:55. > :13:56.until shortly before For her fans, the house -
:13:57. > :14:03.now a museum - has always offered a glimpse into the kind
:14:04. > :14:05.of life she led. But now, as the bicentenary
:14:06. > :14:07.of her death is marked, the interior has been recreated
:14:08. > :14:10.to make it even more authentic. James Ingham is live
:14:11. > :14:14.at the house now. It is quite something to be standing
:14:15. > :14:20.in the very room where one of our most cherished authors
:14:21. > :14:29.penned her great works, This is the table where Jane Austin
:14:30. > :14:35.were dashed down to and right after breakfast every day, novels like
:14:36. > :14:40.Pride And Prejudice. The house has been a museum since the 1940s but is
:14:41. > :14:42.still revealing its secrets. Tiny fragments of Regency wallpaper
:14:43. > :14:47.founded out of the way corners in the house have allowed curators to
:14:48. > :14:49.reinterpret the interior and these little fragments tell a fascinating
:14:50. > :14:55.tale about the life of the Austin family. -- Jane Austen's family.
:14:56. > :14:57.Specialist decorators and restorers have been working hard
:14:58. > :15:01.to refurbish Jane Austen's home, paying close attention to detail.
:15:02. > :15:05.This wallpaper has been recreated by architectural historians,
:15:06. > :15:08.based on what was left of the original, but it
:15:09. > :15:16.There was a motif in this one which they could not make sense of.
:15:17. > :15:19.And after some puzzling, they realised that there
:15:20. > :15:29.was a manufacturing fault in this paper.
:15:30. > :15:31.This meant it was probably a second, and cheaper.
:15:32. > :15:33.Wallpaper was an expensive and heavily-taxed luxury
:15:34. > :15:37.There was a missing detail, which meant the paper
:15:38. > :15:41.There's a central motif that looks a bit like a little spider.
:15:42. > :15:45.That was meant to have a rosebud there.
:15:46. > :15:48.The person who was hanging the paper didn't have that to go on.
:15:49. > :15:52.If it had been there, he would have understood immediately
:15:53. > :15:59.To commemororate the bicentenary, the museum also has
:16:00. > :16:09.These are two of the treasures, a gold and turquoise ring, and this.
:16:10. > :16:13.The three-volume first edition of Pride And Prejudice,
:16:14. > :16:27.And she described her first bound copy as "my own darling child".
:16:28. > :16:33.Pictures have been hung on the walls this afternoon and overseeing all
:16:34. > :16:37.that is the curator, Mary, who joins me again now. Tell me a bit more
:16:38. > :16:41.about your plans to celebrate the bison centenary. It is a very
:16:42. > :16:44.important year for the Jane Austin community and the museum. We are
:16:45. > :16:48.delighted with the way the houses looking after two months of
:16:49. > :16:53.redecorating. But we have got plans to do much more in the future. After
:16:54. > :16:57.we have raised the money. This year, we have launched Jane's Fund, a big
:16:58. > :17:02.public appeal for the funds that will allow us to undertake vital
:17:03. > :17:06.repairs, and we will then roll out the redecoration through the house.
:17:07. > :17:10.It is such an old house, I imagine there's a lot of structural work to
:17:11. > :17:14.do as well as decoration. It is, there's a lot of work in different
:17:15. > :17:17.areas of the house and it is a grade one listed building so it needs to
:17:18. > :17:23.be done very carefully. Thank you for joining us. The house reopens
:17:24. > :17:28.after two months tomorrow at 10:30am. I'm sure everyone here is
:17:29. > :17:30.ready for an influx of guests keen to see some of the changes that have
:17:31. > :17:34.been made. And Chawton is just one
:17:35. > :17:40.of the locations in the south which will be celebrating
:17:41. > :17:47.Jane Austen's life and work I'm sure you know all the others.
:17:48. > :17:49.And it has a nice tea room. I've been there, very recently. You
:17:50. > :17:54.know all the best tearooms.
:17:55. > :18:01.And where they serve the best cake. Tony is here with the sport. In a
:18:02. > :18:04.moment, we will meet our 85 Rod cricketer, Jean. I'm looking forward
:18:05. > :18:08.to that. A great character who embodies what community sport is all
:18:09. > :18:11.about. But first, Wembley last weekend and more coming.
:18:12. > :18:13.Oxford United have booked another trip to Wembley.
:18:14. > :18:16.They'll play Coventry on April 2nd in the Checkatrade Trophy.
:18:17. > :18:21.The competition was controversial this season as for the first time,
:18:22. > :18:23.Premier League and Championship sides could field Under-23 teams.
:18:24. > :18:26.It led to some farcical moments in the early rounds but ultimately
:18:27. > :18:28.two lower league clubs are in the final as
:18:29. > :18:35.The sweet sound of the final whistles. Oxford United are still in
:18:36. > :18:40.the hunt for promotion from League 1, but they already have a date at
:18:41. > :18:45.Wembley in their diaries. They came through a tricky semifinal at Luton,
:18:46. > :18:49.a scrambled effort from Phil Edwards and a deflected shot from Marvin
:18:50. > :18:53.Johnson put the visitors firmly on course for a second successive trip
:18:54. > :18:56.to the National Stadium. I must admit, it's different to last year,
:18:57. > :18:59.it is a fantastic feeling to get there. Last year was more, probably
:19:00. > :19:06.getting there than actually thinking, what we were going to do
:19:07. > :19:09.once we were there. This year, we've got the opportunity to play another
:19:10. > :19:15.showcase final. Now we want to go ahead and win it. It was a nervous
:19:16. > :19:19.night as the Hatters refused to roll over. Isaac Vassell reduced the
:19:20. > :19:23.deficit and then former Oxford striker Danny Hylton equalised with
:19:24. > :19:26.just eight minutes to go. The tie looked set for penalties but
:19:27. > :19:31.United's Magic Johnson still had something left in the box of tricks.

:24:53. > :24:57.come the pies! Not yet. Lovely blue sky overhead
:24:58. > :25:01.today but tonight we are looking at the arrival of rain. Clear skies
:25:02. > :25:05.initially so the first part of the night, temperatures at their lowest,
:25:06. > :25:08.and they will start to rise by Dawn. The cloud and rain will arrive and
:25:09. > :25:11.it could be heavy at times in the early hours of the morning. There
:25:12. > :25:16.will be a wet rush-hour drive to work. Temperatures falling to a mild
:25:17. > :25:21.five, to seven Celsius. Quite a soggy start to tomorrow. The rain
:25:22. > :25:24.slowly but surely moving northwards. The wind will pick up with the
:25:25. > :25:27.rainfall and it will clear eastern part of the region in the afternoon
:25:28. > :25:31.but through parts of Dorset and Wiltshire, still the likelihood we
:25:32. > :25:34.will see rain during the afternoon, mainly light and patchy with the odd
:25:35. > :25:37.moderate burst and the front still lingering through part of
:25:38. > :25:42.Oxfordshire and gusty shared through the latter part of tomorrow
:25:43. > :25:45.afternoon. Highs of 9-11. A wet end to the day for many other rain
:25:46. > :25:49.showers will continue during the early hours of the morning on
:25:50. > :25:54.Saturday. But drying out by Dawn on Saturday so dry start to the
:25:55. > :25:58.weekend. Lowes tomorrow night of 7-8. The breeze coming in from the
:25:59. > :26:01.south, drawing in milder air from the near continent. A cloudy day on
:26:02. > :26:06.Saturday in general. There will be the odd shower and low pressure
:26:07. > :26:08.starts to slowly pull away. That may bring one or two scattered showers
:26:09. > :26:11.but for the bulk of the day it should be mainly dry and we will see
:26:12. > :26:17.some bright or sunny spells, possibly more clout than sunshine
:26:18. > :26:20.and there will be some rain. Saturday night in the early hours of
:26:21. > :26:25.Sunday morning. Saturday is probably the best day of the weekend. Taking
:26:26. > :26:28.a look ahead to the rest of the week and into next, Friday, tomorrow,
:26:29. > :26:31.rain at times which could be heavy for the rush-hour drive to work. The
:26:32. > :26:34.winds will pick up with the rainfall. Saturday mainly cloudy
:26:35. > :26:39.with some bright spell through the day, the risk of the odd isolated
:26:40. > :26:43.shower. Quite soggy on Sunday with rain at times which could be heavy
:26:44. > :26:48.and places. And the chance also some thunderstorms tomorrow night. Sally?
