:00:00. > :00:00.Hello I'm Jo Kent, welcome to South Today.
:00:07. > :00:07.In tonight's programme: Failing the frail -
:00:08. > :00:11.the South's care homes deemed just not good enough.
:00:12. > :00:18.The campaign to get older people back into work.
:00:19. > :00:21.I think life's too short to stand still and it's important to keep
:00:22. > :00:24.moving and to keep looking at the opportunities.
:00:25. > :00:27.Who's the last English person to lift the football World Cup?
:00:28. > :00:33.It's a Jill, and she's from right here in the South.
:00:34. > :00:37.There was a place called Pitt Street in Pompey and my dad
:00:38. > :00:39.used to take us there, my brother and I.
:00:40. > :00:45.Those were my first memories of going to watch the games.
:00:46. > :00:49.The Hampshire company offering a ride of a lifetime,
:00:50. > :01:07."Simply not good enough" - that's the finding of a new report
:01:08. > :01:09.out today which shows that a worrying number of care
:01:10. > :01:13.homes in the South fall below required standards.
:01:14. > :01:16.Figures on care home performance, gathered by the charity
:01:17. > :01:19.Independent Age show that in the South West region,
:01:20. > :01:23.more than one in five homes was rated as "requires improvement"
:01:24. > :01:28.In the South East region, that figure goes up to more
:01:29. > :01:32.In Portsmouth, almost half of care homes fell
:01:33. > :01:37.And other parts of the South weren't far behind.
:01:38. > :01:47.Tom Hepworth is live for us tonight from a care home in Weymouth.
:01:48. > :01:54.As we know, lots of people come down here to the south coast to retire,
:01:55. > :01:58.and in years to come, we might expect to live in a care home like
:01:59. > :02:01.this one. This care home was given a good overall rating by the Care
:02:02. > :02:05.Quality Commission but many are finding things difficult at the
:02:06. > :02:09.moment. Although more people need care, there's less money pay for it.
:02:10. > :02:12.Care homes are taking a financial hit.
:02:13. > :02:15.The weekly cost for a resident with moderate needs here is around
:02:16. > :02:21.If it didn't have private or self-funding residents,
:02:22. > :02:28.70% of this home's costs are staff, and recruitment and retention
:02:29. > :02:37.is a big issue, particularly for people from abroad.
:02:38. > :02:42.It's almost exclusively now staffed by people from overseas, and so I
:02:43. > :02:46.don't know what the plans after that, but that is put in doubt into
:02:47. > :02:50.the mind of these nurses as well. They are thinking, well, if this is
:02:51. > :02:55.the attitude to us in this country, we will go back home. That will be
:02:56. > :02:58.the worst thing that could happen and it's already happening. Every
:02:59. > :03:01.day we wrestle with our rotors, trained nurses.
:03:02. > :03:03.While funding has been cut, care homes are facing
:03:04. > :03:05.more exacting standards, but there are questions
:03:06. > :03:07.about whether the Care Quality Commission's doing
:03:08. > :03:18.They are not supporting managers who are struggling to comply, who want
:03:19. > :03:21.to comply, and they are not actually supporting them and saying, look, if
:03:22. > :03:23.you do it this way, you won't get this result next time.
:03:24. > :03:26.Though care was rated good at all four council-run
:03:27. > :03:27.homes in Portsmouth, the CQC found they
:03:28. > :03:30.required improvement, including Edinburgh House.
:03:31. > :03:33.We did ask the city council for an interview but were told
:03:34. > :03:38.In a statement, it said robust action plans have been put in place,
:03:39. > :03:40.staff will be better supervised and they'll improve
:03:41. > :03:45.the joined-up management of care across the system.
:03:46. > :03:48.But the care worker I spoke to here said it was better run
:03:49. > :03:51.than many of the private homes she'd worked in, and said caring should be
:03:52. > :04:02.There are 18,000 vacancies for people to come and work in social
:04:03. > :04:07.care and health in Hampshire. That means if every single child leaving
:04:08. > :04:12.school with GCSEs this summer went to work in health and social care,
:04:13. > :04:16.they still wouldn't feel all the vacancies. People are paid not good
:04:17. > :04:17.wages. I'm not sure in society we really value them.
:04:18. > :04:20.This is by no means a problem specific to Portsmouth.
:04:21. > :04:24.The number of people over 85 has increased by nearly a third
:04:25. > :04:26.in little more than a decade, and although the Government's
:04:27. > :04:29.increased funding for adult social car by ?2 billion,
:04:30. > :04:31.increased funding for adult social care by ?2 billion,
:04:32. > :04:34.budgets have been cut by more than double that since 2010.
:04:35. > :04:37.Care is costing more and we're all going to have to foot the bill.
:04:38. > :04:40.The detail will be in the Government's green paper due
:04:41. > :04:46.Earlier today, I spoke to Nadra Ahmed, from
:04:47. > :04:48.the National Care Association, which represents care homes.
:04:49. > :04:57.I started by asking her what needed to be done to tackle the problem.
:04:58. > :05:03.I think the situation could improve if we had a very honest discussion
:05:04. > :05:06.about what social care actually means. What we've got at this moment
:05:07. > :05:10.in time is, we're actually looking after people with very complex
:05:11. > :05:16.health care needs, so there should be a health budget that is
:05:17. > :05:19.supporting that. So we didn't, as social care providers historically,
:05:20. > :05:23.look after people who were dying, people with incontinence, people who
:05:24. > :05:27.might have had a stroke and recovering. But that is the norm in
:05:28. > :05:33.social care services now, especially in nursing homes, where we will have
:05:34. > :05:37.feeding and all of that. So these are nursing tasks, but there's no
:05:38. > :05:42.nursing money coming towards us for that. So we've got to look at the
:05:43. > :05:48.tasks and say, we actually defining social care properly? Is it all down
:05:49. > :05:53.to funding? No, we've also got a real problem with recruitment and
:05:54. > :05:59.getting qualified nurses and managers into the sector, and we
:06:00. > :06:06.know today the report says 900 people are exiting the social care
:06:07. > :06:10.workforce. All of that has to be filled, and I don't think we are
:06:11. > :06:14.getting that right, because the image is so poor. We all know
:06:15. > :06:18.councils are very strapped for cash and they don't have the money for
:06:19. > :06:22.social care. How confident are you things can improve unless there is
:06:23. > :06:26.that extra money? They were given extra money but they are using it in
:06:27. > :06:31.a very different way and we were worried about it going to front line
:06:32. > :06:33.staff. I'm not confident local authorities will do the best for the
:06:34. > :06:39.social care provision and I think they will let down users in their
:06:40. > :06:43.communities, the people who have already paid for their care through
:06:44. > :06:46.their taxes and national insurance, and actually local authorities
:06:47. > :06:49.should be holding their heads down in shame when their staff are being
:06:50. > :06:54.paid more than they are prepared to invest in social care. What does all
:06:55. > :07:00.this mean for residents and their families? I think it's an uncertain
:07:01. > :07:03.time. There is some really good provision at there but we've got to
:07:04. > :07:08.be really careful because families have less choice, and we've got to
:07:09. > :07:12.think about that, because homes are closing. The viability issue is a
:07:13. > :07:15.real one and if you've got a poor report that requires improvement,
:07:16. > :07:20.you can't get people into the service because contracts are being
:07:21. > :07:27.withdrawn and then it has an effect on the viability of that business,
:07:28. > :07:29.so this is a very worrying time for those who use our business.
:07:30. > :07:32.It's been revealed that there are almost twice as many unemployed
:07:33. > :07:35.people over the age of 50 in parts of Hampshire than unemployed
:07:36. > :07:38.Now a local MP is working to encourage older jobless people
:07:39. > :07:46.East Hampshire MP Damian Hinds has organised an event in Alton today
:07:47. > :07:50.helping 50-somethings build the contacts and confidence to get
:07:51. > :07:54.back into the workplace or change careers.
:07:55. > :07:58.Figures show that there are 35,000 50-to-64-year-olds registered
:07:59. > :08:07.But Age UK says that these figures might be much higher as many
:08:08. > :08:10.over-50s surveyed say they're retired because they've given up
:08:11. > :08:30.Something I could really wake up and think, how exciting, I'm going to do
:08:31. > :08:34.that. Pennie Hames set up her own
:08:35. > :08:38.gardening business in her 50s. She says the change of direction has
:08:39. > :08:41.changed her life for the better. That's something Jenny
:08:42. > :08:49.would like to find. I am part-time and I'm looking for
:08:50. > :08:53.how I can slightly change my working pattern over the next few years, and
:08:54. > :08:58.I thought this was a good idea, just to see what there is out there.
:08:59. > :09:03.People are leaving the workforce earlier than we did...
:09:04. > :09:06.There are almost a million people not to work in the second half of
:09:07. > :09:10.their career who would like to be in work. We also know there are lots of
:09:11. > :09:13.people who have required -- retired to subsequently regret that
:09:14. > :09:14.decision. From new jobs to retraining
:09:15. > :09:16.and voluntary options, there's no shortage of ideas
:09:17. > :09:19.and inspiration at this event, with speakers like TV MasterChef
:09:20. > :09:26.winner Jane Devonshire. I've been a stay-at-home mum for 18
:09:27. > :09:31.years and it was a difficult situation. You start looking at
:09:32. > :09:34.boards for jobs and nothing seems to be appealing to somebody who's 50
:09:35. > :09:43.plus, and you might have a lot to offer, but what? A careers fair for
:09:44. > :09:48.the over 50s? Surely it's young people they are after. Not at all.
:09:49. > :09:53.We have people at 18 going up to 65, 66 years old. It's having people
:09:54. > :09:57.skills, life skills to deal with people, treat them with humanity and
:09:58. > :10:00.respect. You get a lot back from them.
:10:01. > :10:12.I've been inspired and I hope it shows something to all of us, my
:10:13. > :10:16.friends as well, that there's something for you. If you do
:10:17. > :10:20.something you love, you're going to want to do it really well, and
:10:21. > :10:22.that's rather exciting at this end of life.
:10:23. > :10:24.Pennie Hames ending that report by David Allard.
:10:25. > :10:27.A former scout leader has been jailed for nine years for sexually
:10:28. > :10:31.Paul John Cherrett was sentenced at Bournemouth Crown Court today
:10:32. > :10:33.after pleading guilty to a string of sex offences against boys.
:10:34. > :10:36.The 62-year-old joined the scouting movement in 1972 and had a number
:10:37. > :10:41.of roles in the Dorset area during that time.
:10:42. > :10:44.Police investigating a fire at a tower block in Southampton have
:10:45. > :10:49.Officers say the 28-year-old is still under investigation.
:10:50. > :10:51.Sunday's fire at Redbridge Towers completely destroyed
:10:52. > :10:55.No-one was seriously injured and firefighters managed
:10:56. > :10:58.to prevent the blaze spreading to neighbouring flats.
:10:59. > :11:02.The cause of the fire is not yet known.
:11:03. > :11:11.Still to come on South Today, Alexis is out enjoying the sunshine.
:11:12. > :11:17.It has been a glorious sunny day today but will it be like this for
:11:18. > :11:22.the Easter weekend? Find out very shortly.
:11:23. > :11:25.It's a battle as bitter as anything fought by the rabbits
:11:26. > :11:31.The controversial scheme to build on the landscape which inspired
:11:32. > :11:33.Watership Down has turned a new chapter.
:11:34. > :11:39.The development, near Newbury, originally one of the biggest
:11:40. > :11:42.plans in West Berkshire history, will go ahead but with far fewer
:11:43. > :11:48.By all expectations, this should now be one
:11:49. > :11:51.of the biggest developments in Newbury's history.
:11:52. > :11:56.But there's not a digger, a brickie, even a surveyor insight.
:11:57. > :11:59.But there's not a digger, a brickie, even a surveyor in sight.
:12:00. > :12:02.This development was meant to meet much of West Berkshire's housing
:12:03. > :12:04.need for years to come when it was given the
:12:05. > :12:08.But as you can see, on the surface at least,
:12:09. > :12:14.Always a controversial scheme, campaigners who have rallied
:12:15. > :12:17.to protect the real-life setting for Watership Down say
:12:18. > :12:18.what's happened here, or rather what hasn't,
:12:19. > :12:26.I didn't want this to go ahead in the first place but once planning
:12:27. > :12:29.permission has been given, it's outrageous that these
:12:30. > :12:33.developers and these landowners can sit for five years on this land
:12:34. > :12:44.The falling-out between the developers means one now plans
:12:45. > :12:46.to build around two thirds of the homes they first proposed.
:12:47. > :12:49.Even that's led the council to raise concerns about congestion.
:12:50. > :12:51.The developers say they're working to address those worries.
:12:52. > :12:54.But across town, here near the headquarters of Vodafone,
:12:55. > :12:56.the delays have allowed developers to overturn the council's rejection
:12:57. > :13:03.of their plans for homes on land originally passed over in favour
:13:04. > :13:09.The developers have got the council over a barrel.
:13:10. > :13:12.They can sit and wait until the council concedes to their way...
:13:13. > :13:16.I think people will always say "I told you so".
:13:17. > :13:21.People will always say we didn't listen, and yet we did.
:13:22. > :13:25.I think we took everything into account when we were doing our
:13:26. > :13:28.local plan and we delivered a sound local plan.
:13:29. > :13:34.It seems certain these fields will be developed one day, but when,
:13:35. > :13:40.that's one question no-one can answer with confidence just yet.
:13:41. > :13:43.An investigation has been launched into the death of a man held
:13:44. > :13:44.at an immigration removal centre in Dorset.
:13:45. > :13:47.The 43-year-old man, who has not been identified,
:13:48. > :13:50.died at The Verne, in Portland, on Sunday.
:13:51. > :13:53.His death comes weeks after concerns were raised about the effects
:13:54. > :13:59.of detention on the 500 immigrants being held at the establishment.
:14:00. > :14:02.Firefighters are tonight tackling a heathland and gorse fire
:14:03. > :14:10.covering three hectares of Yateley Common in Hampshire.
:14:11. > :14:15.Hampshire Fire Rescue say they've sent three engines and a landrover
:14:16. > :14:17.from Rushmoor and Yateley to the fire.
:14:18. > :14:20.It's the second time the area has been ablaze in less than a week.
:14:21. > :14:22.It was a violent encounter which lasted seconds.
:14:23. > :14:25.And now a jury will decide whether a young student is guilty
:14:26. > :14:28.of manslaughter after killing a man with just one punch.
:14:29. > :14:31.Ryan Cooper hit fellow Isle of Wight resident Gary Stacey after a night
:14:32. > :14:37.But he claims it was in self-defence after he was accosted
:14:38. > :14:40.The prosecution say it was an unprovoked attack.
:14:41. > :14:49.Ben Moore reports form Winchester Crown Court.
:14:50. > :14:54.Mr justice will be listed the events that led to tragedy in the early
:14:55. > :14:59.hours of Valentine's Day last year. A tragedy that centres around two
:15:00. > :15:03.people from the Isle of Wight, 20-year-old Ryan Cooper and
:15:04. > :15:07.49-year-old Gary Stacey. Ryan Cooper was a law student at Southampton
:15:08. > :15:12.University out with friends after returning to Newport at the weekend.
:15:13. > :15:17.He was rejected from the pub at around 2:30am. Gary Stacey had also
:15:18. > :15:21.been there. But it was on the street just before 4am when the two met.
:15:22. > :15:25.The court was reminded how Ryan Cooper and other witnesses
:15:26. > :15:29.maintained Gary Stacey had threatened to knock him out after
:15:30. > :15:33.confusing him with a different group of people. What is captured on CCTV
:15:34. > :15:40.and not in dispute is that Ryan Cooper punched Mr Stacey. The
:15:41. > :15:45.defence say Ryan Cooper was acting in self defence, trying to ward off
:15:46. > :15:56.a fight. The prosecution says this is a cover-up and lies, after Gary
:15:57. > :16:02.Stacey died after falling to the pavement and receiving a blow to the
:16:03. > :16:07.head and a bleed to the brain. Friends and parents described him as
:16:08. > :16:13.distraught as he handed -- dialled 999 before handing himself in. But
:16:14. > :16:14.after three weeks of evidence, it is up to the jury to decide what
:16:15. > :16:24.happens. A community campaign
:16:25. > :16:26.to save a 105-year-old swimming pool The Arthur Hill Memorial Baths,
:16:27. > :16:29.in Reading, were closed in December after the Borough Council said it
:16:30. > :16:32.would cost ?700,000 to fully repair. Campaigners raised ?10,000 to start
:16:33. > :16:35.up a community interest But last night the council said
:16:36. > :16:39.the plan was not financially viable. The council will instead
:16:40. > :16:52.invest in new facilities Regrettably, the council decided
:16:53. > :16:57.they didn't want to work with the local community to open a local
:16:58. > :17:04.service. I don't feel we need to pack up and go home. There is a need
:17:05. > :17:07.for undertaking leisure and sports activity here, so we are looking to
:17:08. > :17:14.organise some local fitness and sports events at some period on a
:17:15. > :17:19.kind of pop-up basis. Not totally defeated there! We are
:17:20. > :17:26.talking sporting events and fitness clubs! Absolutely.
:17:27. > :17:33.Should be a really big Easter weekend. Could be very good for
:17:34. > :17:38.Brighton. Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday. Possible promotion coming
:17:39. > :17:43.up! Very exciting! And Portsmouth fans, after such a tough time.
:17:44. > :17:47.Promotion is coming, it is just a question of when. But they will be
:17:48. > :17:53.backed by a full house on Friday and then a travelling army of 4000 at
:17:54. > :17:58.Notts County on Monday. They could secure promotion over Easter
:17:59. > :18:02.weekend. 18,000 sell-out for that match. Promotion could come on
:18:03. > :18:06.Monday in the East Midlands at Meadow Lane. Results permitting, of
:18:07. > :18:10.course, but we will keep right across it as we go into the weekend.
:18:11. > :18:13.We stay with Portsmouth to feature the only World Cup winner for
:18:14. > :18:17.England since 1966. Jill Ellis led the United States
:18:18. > :18:20.to women's World Cup glory in 2015. But Jill's life began in Hampshire
:18:21. > :18:23.as the daughter of a Naval officer. A family move to the US
:18:24. > :18:32.would change her life, She's been talking to us from her
:18:33. > :18:38.base stateside. It really is now the global game for
:18:39. > :18:44.women. The level of play has changed dramatically. The athleticism,
:18:45. > :18:47.technique, coaching, attacks. Everything is changing so much,
:18:48. > :18:55.advancing. It's now got a world fan base. The journey for Jo Ellis
:18:56. > :19:00.started in the Hampshire village of cow plane. She lived here till she
:19:01. > :19:05.was 15 and football was always in the family. The memories of those
:19:06. > :19:09.early years and the influence of her football-loving father, John, a
:19:10. > :19:15.Royal Marines Commando, live on. There was a place called Pitt street
:19:16. > :19:20.in Pompey and my dad used to take us there, my brother and me. When the
:19:21. > :19:24.men's game was going on we would go over and usually end up in a fight!
:19:25. > :19:27.Those were my first memories of going to watch the games. Afterwards
:19:28. > :19:32.my dad would take us into the clubhouse and I remember getting a
:19:33. > :19:37.bag of chips and a soda. This is what remains of her field of dreams.
:19:38. > :19:41.The old venue is a retail park in Portsmouth. The family upped sticks
:19:42. > :19:45.in 1980 and went to Virginia, where her dad started a soccer school. She
:19:46. > :19:50.may have become an international manager but such a big job wasn't
:19:51. > :19:54.always the plan. I went to college to play some football and obviously
:19:55. > :19:57.get an education. I never wanted to be a coach. I went on a different
:19:58. > :20:01.tangent and worked in the business world for a couple of years as a
:20:02. > :20:07.technical writer. Got a call to go and do an assistant job at a college
:20:08. > :20:11.and university and I said, guessed, and I took a job and a leap of
:20:12. > :20:17.faith. It's obviously spiralled since there in terms of what I've
:20:18. > :20:22.been able to do. Jill, who was born in 1966, led the US to a World Cup
:20:23. > :20:25.victory and the rear Olympics, and with the women's game growing around
:20:26. > :20:33.the world, competition has become that much harder. -- the Rio
:20:34. > :20:39.Olympics. Does that mean more challenges for the team? Of course.
:20:40. > :20:44.The girl with the can-do attitude. Good story. And I love the way she's
:20:45. > :20:52.retained some of that Hampshire. She talks about. But a bit of American,
:20:53. > :20:56.chips and soda. She means crisps and a drink!
:20:57. > :21:00.Never forgotten her roots. That's brilliant.
:21:01. > :21:07.It's been another lovely day today. Let's take a look at some of your
:21:08. > :21:17.pictures first. This is a lunar halo.
:21:18. > :21:20.And this is in Dorset. That's the rapeseed from the air near
:21:21. > :21:23.Basingstoke. Thank you for your pictures.
:21:24. > :21:28.We are going to get the weather now. We sent Alexis out this evening.
:21:29. > :21:30.She's that Mayflower Park. Making the most of it because I understand
:21:31. > :21:41.it's going to get a bit cloudier? That's right, a bit cloudier over
:21:42. > :21:47.the next few days, but today was lovely, with a high of 16. Elsewhere
:21:48. > :21:53.in land highs of 15. This is the satellite picture from earlier on.
:21:54. > :21:57.We are looking at increasing cloud the most of us overnight, especially
:21:58. > :22:02.during the second part, and that's that swathe of cloud moving
:22:03. > :22:06.eastwards from the Atlantic. The westerly breeze is becoming quite
:22:07. > :22:10.brisk through this evening and will stay so overnight tonight.
:22:11. > :22:15.Temperatures will fall away to around 6-7 degrees in urban areas
:22:16. > :22:19.but possibly down to four or five in the countryside, so a fair amount of
:22:20. > :22:23.cloud by dawn, and a lot cloudier tomorrow than today. Through the
:22:24. > :22:28.morning, temperatures that eight or nine with some brighter spells, but
:22:29. > :22:32.a good deal of cloud. Through the afternoon, with the thickening
:22:33. > :22:36.cloud, we could have the odd spot of rain, being more likely the further
:22:37. > :22:46.north you are. Up in Berkshire, for example. Temperatures reaching 12 or
:22:47. > :22:52.13 Celsius. Tomorrow night, the cloud starts to melt away and the
:22:53. > :22:55.rain eases through the hours of Thursday morning, so turning chilly
:22:56. > :23:01.in the countryside to start Thursday. Temperatures could drop to
:23:02. > :23:08.as low as four or five, but more like six or seven in urban areas.
:23:09. > :23:11.Temperatures around 11-13 each day but there will be some brighter
:23:12. > :23:16.spells and a good deal of dry weather as well. Friday and Saturday
:23:17. > :23:20.possibly the odds of that -- scattered showers. On Easter Sunday
:23:21. > :23:22.and Easter Monday, mainly dry with a good deal of cloud, but some
:23:23. > :23:31.brighter spells. Back to the studio. There are some areas synonymous with
:23:32. > :23:33.the beautiful cars they produce. BMW in Bavaria, Ferrari
:23:34. > :23:35.in Maranello, Ford in Detroit. Tucked away in a Hampshire farm
:23:36. > :23:40.is a project to create a racing car to quicken the pulse of car
:23:41. > :23:42.enthusiasts the world over. BBC South's own petrol-head,
:23:43. > :23:45.transport correspondent Paul Clifton, couldn't resist
:23:46. > :24:02.taking a ride. Take a look at Britain's newest car
:24:03. > :24:08.from a brand-new manufacturer. The Elemental is light, fast and fun.
:24:09. > :24:14.It's also quite expensive. What does ?100,000 by you? Well, it doesn't
:24:15. > :24:17.buy a roof! It doesn't buy doors! And on this car, it doesn't buy a
:24:18. > :24:22.windscreen either. The seats are made of carbon fibre and there's no
:24:23. > :24:27.padding. It's quite awkward to get yourself in! Because you end up with
:24:28. > :24:34.your feet level with your waist, just like you do in a Formula 1 car.
:24:35. > :24:42.But what it does have is performance. 0-60 in well under
:24:43. > :24:48.three seconds. 0-100 in under six seconds. This is essentially a
:24:49. > :24:54.road-legal racing car. The car weighs next to nothing. It is all
:24:55. > :24:59.about aerodynamic downforce. At a small industrial unit hidden away on
:25:00. > :25:03.a Hampshire farm, the next car is nearly ready. 75% of this vehicle
:25:04. > :25:09.comes from within 15 miles of this factory. We've got a lot of very
:25:10. > :25:14.small, very advanced manufacturing capability in this area. There are
:25:15. > :25:20.eight staff and half of them used to work for the McLaren Formula 1 team.
:25:21. > :25:24.It's got racing technology and ideas in it but is still designed to drive
:25:25. > :25:27.on the road. Obviously if you go to track and you haven't got a speed
:25:28. > :25:32.limit, you can really start pushing the car, and is capable of doing
:25:33. > :25:37.things most cars cannot do outside of dedicated racing machines. To
:25:38. > :25:41.reach the luggage space, you have to open the engine cover. You probably
:25:42. > :25:46.wouldn't take this car to the supermarket! Somebody who buys this
:25:47. > :25:50.could equally buy a Ferrari, a Porsche, a McLaren, a Lamborghini.
:25:51. > :25:55.Why would they buy yours? They could buy those cars but this is the only
:25:56. > :25:59.road-going car in the world with anything like the levels of
:26:00. > :26:06.downforce you can generate with this car. The aerodynamics are straight
:26:07. > :26:11.out of Formula 1 prototype arena. We're never going to be a Lotus or
:26:12. > :26:15.an Aston Martin, selling 100 -- hundreds of thousands of cars.
:26:16. > :26:19.That's not our ambition. We are looking at opening up into the
:26:20. > :26:24.American, European and worldwide markets and ultimately selling
:26:25. > :26:31.anything from 40, 50, up to 60 cars a year. This car really belongs on a
:26:32. > :26:36.racetrack. It is perhaps the most bonkers car I've ever driven on the
:26:37. > :26:41.public highway! Paul Clifton, BBC South today, Hampshire.
:26:42. > :26:45.And you can see he's loving every minute of it! Fantastic!
:26:46. > :26:47.Finally, there's a strange new feature that's appeared off
:26:48. > :26:49.the Sussex coast at Lancing in the last week.
:26:50. > :26:51.A digger which was working on a cable trench for
:26:52. > :26:54.the Rampion Offshore wind farm first became stuck and then was swamped
:26:55. > :26:58.A recovery vessel has now arrived with a giant crane
:26:59. > :27:00.but the construction company says it may take weeks to
:27:01. > :27:04.A local paper asked its readers to name the stranded digger.
:27:05. > :27:13.That's all from us this evening! What a way to finish! Thanks for
:27:14. > :27:35.your company tonight. Goodbye. There have never been
:27:36. > :27:37.so many people in work - that's what the Government
:27:38. > :27:39.keeps telling us. But what's the reality of this
:27:40. > :27:43.Tory jobs bonanza? Well, if you're one of the millions
:27:44. > :27:49.of people working on
