Hello. In tonight's programme... news teams where you are.

Hello. In tonight's programme... Multiple failures that put patients

at risk. The damning report into health care on the Isle of Wight is

published. It is a lack of focus on quality and there was a problem in

the trust. Many staff told us it was stressful working there. The trust

has been put into special measures. Tonight I'm on the island to find

out what went wrong and how it's going to be put right. Also, six

years for one punch. A law student is jailed but killing a father. We

will never get over it. There is still a big hole in the family. The

end of the road the Dorset's daredevil army display team. Find

out why some of the big hitters of women's world rugby are here.

Health care on the Isle of Wight was formally put into special

measures today after a scathing report by the Care Quality

Commission, details of which have been revealed for the first time.

It tells of patients put at risk from faulty

electrical equipment and broken beds.

Ambulance staff were bullied, and an ambulance station left open,

with vehicles unlocked and the keys inside.

The Accident and Emergency Department didn't have

And the leadership from board level down failed staff and patients.

The Trust has apologised to patients and promised to make things right.

Our Health Correspondent David Fenton is on the Isle

And David the Trust knew this was coming?

Everyone knew this was coming. It is still a shock. This is one of Bill

worst CQC reports I have seen and it gives me no pleasure to see that.

Inside the hospital, people are working very hard to help patients

but this is a very bad reports. Things need to change and they need

to change quickly. Stuart Clements has a serious heart and lung problem

and finds breathing difficult. Gardening can cause a problem. I

continue when they have this breathlessness and it limits what I

can do in one go. Bastia his wife rushed him to A where he spent 13

hours on a trolley in a corridor. -- less year his wife. In one sense I

was appalled because I felt here were people who were being

incredibly kind to me, who seemed to be very efficient and professional

in the way they were working, but it was quite clear that the hospital as

a whole did not have the capacity to deal with me, even though I was

pretty ill. Failings in the health care were laid bare in today's

report. Mental health patients were put at risk, leaders failed to act

and staff were bullet. It is far too prevalent in the NHS, the bullying

of staff. The NHS is short of good stuff. What we don't hear about is

how difficult the staff find it to work on some of the clinical areas.

This was true in the Isle of Wight. As they treat their staff well, how

can they find the right staff? For the trust, there was no place to

hide. I would like to apologise to patients population and staff for

our organisation and give my commitment to turn things around. We

have already started and know what we need to do and we will get this

organisation back into a respectable condition as soon as we can. These

problems will not be easily solved but solved, they must be for the

sake of patients and everyone on the island.

David, what has been the reaction there? Staff here are stunned. One

of them told me it was like feeling bereaved almost. They are very upset

and there have been big meetings going on. 300 staff have been

involved. In some ways, this could be a good thing. And maybe a chance

to look honestly out what they do and turn corner. How was the trust

going to get out of this mess? They need to do a lot. They are talking

about bringing more doctors over from Southampton and Portsmouth to

run clinics. There is a lot of things that need to be done. The

first thing is to find an interim Chief Executive. There will be no

quick fix. It will take 12 to 18 months before the problems get

sorted out. Thank you very much. A law student's been sentenced

to six years for killing a father of ten on the Isle of Wight

with a single punch. Gary Stacey died when he fell

and injured his head after being hit by 21-year-old Ryan Cooper

on a night out in Newport. Our reporter James

Ingham was in court. James, Cooper had claimed that he

threw the punch in self defence? He told police that Gary Stacey had

threatened him when he approached But the jury didn't believe him

and found him guilty of manslaughter As the judge delivered his sentence,

he told Cooper that he too "This was not an act of self

defence at all," he said, "that's one of a number of lies

you've told to cover up your guilt." Ryan Cooper was until this

afternoon on bail - he's continued his University

studies since this attack, and during this trial

walked to court each day. But tonight he's behind bars,

perhaps contemplating the words "I'm sure you would take back

those two seconds if only You have to suffer

the consequences". And for Gary Stacey's

family, of course, those He was a lovely man and wanted to go

out and have a good night and it was his last and it wasn't fair. It is a

lasting impact. I don't think any of us will get over it. We will learn

to live with it and get on with our lives but there is still a hole in

the heart of the family and everyone is deeply affected by this. It will

never be the same at all. The judge said that alcohol had

played a part in this case? Ryan Cooper had drunk

vodka excessively - he was so drunk that he was earlier

that night thrown out of a bar. The police who worked on this case

want what happened that night last A poor decision can have life

changing consequences both for Ryan Cooper and Gary Stacey's family. We

would urge that people know their limits and realise in that very

short period of terrible decision-making, it can lead to a

waste of a life. The judge said this

was a very sad case. For Ryan Cooper, a young man who had

looked forward to a good future. But it was sadder he said

for Gary Stacey and his family. Cooper will spend half his six

year sentence in jail - The joint Thames Valley

and Hampshire roads policing unit has seen an increase of more

than 10% in the number of incidents it's had to deal with since 2013

according to figures obtained by BBC Between 2013 and 2014 the unit

attended more than 44,000. Two years later, that figure had

risen to nearly 49,000, an increase That's despite having around 20%

fewer officers than when the joint Here's our Home Affairs

Correspondent Peter Cooke. Five years after Hampshire

and Thames Valley's Road Policing Units merged,

their officers are busier than ever. More than 50 posts were lost

when they joined forces in 2012 Those still working are attending

around 940 incidents a week, often Traffic officers also deal

with regular emergency calls We have the A34 to the Hampshire and

Oxfordshire border and the rest of the road network in that area. It is

a huge area with not very many of us.

Traffic officers also deal with regular emergency calls

as well as responding to accidents and reckless drivers.

We are prosecuting you for failing to wear a seat belt. You do not have

to say anything but it may harm your defence.

But officers say they're worried about how efficient

They are being spread ever so thinly. Just like every other police

officer across the UK. This is the direct consequence to the cuts that

we faced. Both forces say they're

focused on making sure they have the resources

and specialist capabilities in the right locations at peak

times to meet demand. But with further cuts feared

and more motorists on our roads the unit's are likely

to remain stretched. Gatwick Airport claims its policy

Aslef. A new NHS mental health service has

been launched specifically catering ?9 million will be spent over

the next three years, offering specialised treatment

and support for conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder,

themselves have helped to shape the new service,

as Allen Sinclair Matt Stoodley now runs his own

business, repairing horse boxes. But for decades he struggled

in silence with the psychological after-effects of serving

as an engineer in the Royal Navy Since leaving the service in the mid

1980s he'd been quick to anger, Both he, and the people

he was closest to, were suffering. It's been known under various

different names as shell shock, What went on at the Falklands, it

just built up. Matt lost a number of friends

and comrades during the Falklands conflict, and his own ship,

HMS Glasgow, was Just three years ago,

he finally sought help from the South Central veterans

Service and with counselling from experts trained to deal

with military personnel he's finally been able to face up to and accept

the trauma he'd suffered. Mentally, it is incredibly tiring

and evokes every emotion you could possibly have. It peels it back like

the ale -- layers of onion and it works.

The support Matt and many others received has now been refined

and rebranded as the NHS Transition, Intervention and Liaison service.

This expanded service is open to people before

Hopefully it allows a more effective partnership with the Ministry of

Defence and allows a seamless transition of care from the Ministry

of Defence into the National Health Service. The big step is to go

forward and say to somebody, "I need help." Nobody can push you into

doing it. It is life changing, absolutely life changing.

With the women's rugby World Cup just around the corner,the England

team have been in our part of the world today for a training

session and it's also been a chance for them to inspire some players

Well Kris Temple is there tonight as well - so,

It's a big year for Women's Rugby, with the World Cup taking

place this summer just across the water in Ireland.

The preparations that England are ongoing. They are among the

favourites to win the World Cup. They are taking their training

sessions into the community. Train hard, play hard. The England's

women's team are subscribers. They were playing in front of supporters

and may have added a few extra percent. This is a red session and

we work really hard. That is probably the hardest sessions that

you will ever see. Great to have the support here and gives us the extra

kick in training. It is good to see all the girls that want to be where

we are and even the little boys. For the onlookers, it was a chance for

the England stars. Me and my twin sister, briny, we were the only

girls in the team. They progressed into the older teams. They are part

of the England Grand Slam when. England are defending champions. It

will be tough with the Irish crowd. It is good practice. Everyone is

watching every nation, no matter what game they play. We have to keep

an eye on everyone. Many more red session like these will ensure

another success. Along with the training session,

some of the England girls are helping out with the Basingstoke and

18 session. Tell us how Basingstoke got involved with hosting England.

One of the England coach has got in touch with us and they wanted a

southern base for the England ladies and stop they asked us if we would

do it and we said yes. What does it do for the young players? It is

incredible. It means they can look out there and see their ambition

turned into reality. It is real for them and they can see it and touch

where they want to be. How fast has the game grown in Basingstoke here?

It is like an accelerated evolution. We have gone from nothing and we

have five of our girls playing for Premiership clubs. We have some

girls in the England under 20s and we can't wait for the next step.

Thank you for having us here today. We wish England the best over the

course of the summer. The prospective new owner

defying stunts, feats of balance and acrobatics -

and all of this You may well have seen

the White Helmets in action - but sadly the end of the road

is in sight for the army display team, which is based

at Blandford Forum in Dorset. It's being disbanded later this

year, after nine decades Abby Newbery went to

see them in training. They have been jumping, holding on

tight and surviving than 90 years. But that the White Helmets, It Is

The End Of The Road. It is their last season before the team is

disbanded. They are such a good group of guys and the team work and

effort they put in is brilliant. To lose them is such a shame. Sun-macro

I don't want to fall off a lot. You end up with a lot of bangs and

scrapes and it does hurt every time. While this will be the last season

for the display team, they still need two more members to complete

the squad for the summer. Today is their final test performing in front

of family and friends. Now the family say they want to show the

more modern ways they communicate. These represent the former

communication days when we used dispatch riders. Communication now

is electronic and the army must move with those times. The Royal Court is

a sophisticated organisation now. After the summer, they will go back

to their regular posts with the Army bringing 90 years of history to a

close. I'm sure they will be missed. I've

seen them in action. Alexis is here for the weather. You have had

another lovely day. We have had some great pictures.

Some amazing pictures from last night. The full moon rose yesterday

morning. These pictures were taken around the region. The moon doesn't

always appear to be pink but the title is derived from the Native

American tradition of naming full moons.

Through the course of tonight, we are expecting increasing cloud. The

cloud may produce rain but today we have some glorious sunshine. The

weather front stayed in the Midlands and we have the lovely sunny spells.

This was in Berkshire. We have some lovely conditions on Bournemouth

beach. This was looking West. Overnight tonight, we will see

increasing cloud during the early hours of tomorrow morning and

sunlight and patchy rain. A lot of dry weather and one or two clear

spells. Temperatures overnight tonight could drop as low as five

Celsius. Urban areas, seven Celsius. More cloud in the sky than today.

There will be one or two brighter spells. Temperatures could reach 14

Celsius. We are expecting highs of 12 Celsius. A lot cooler than today.

Further cloud tomorrow night and some outbreaks of rain will start

arriving Good Friday morning. Tomorrow night, temperatures will

drop layer -- lower. Quite a damp day on Good Friday. It is probably

one of the most unsettled days of the bank holiday weekend. Outbreaks

of light and patchy rain and some dry interludes. One or two brighter

spells. Cooler air behind it following by an occluded front.

Things will start to brighten up at the weekend because of this area of

high pressure and we are hopeful that some bright and sunny spells.

More cloud than sunshine over the Easter weekend. Tomorrow, a fair

amount of cloud, light drizzle in the morning. Staying dry daylight

areas and the wind will be light. The Good Friday, some outbreaks of

light and patchy rain. Brighter spells for Saturday and Easter

Sunday and Easter Monday looking pretty good. We could have the odd

isolated shower but dry weather over the bank holiday weekend.

It is a daring stunt that was made famous by the great

escapologist Harry Houdini - getting out of a strait-jacket

whilst upside down and suspended high in the air.

Today Portsmouth based magician Dan Churchley took on the same

challenge for charity, more than 300 feet up

Magician Dan Churchley is one of the few people who can say

he's in his comfort zone in a straitjacket but today

he was testing his abilities in a way and a place he's never done

before - preparing to escape the jacket more than 300 feet

The biggest challenge for me today is being upside down for that amount

of time. I'm going to be pivoted so I should spend five minutes upside

down. I'm a bit worried about a head rush. We normally as what they have

the breakfast when we're checking sound levels. What did you have?

Today, I kept alive because there is some poor people at the bottom.

Dan took on the challenge in memory of his friend, Daniel Bryant,

Money raised will go to the charity Clic Sargent which supported Daniel

and his family clip The stunt was made famous by Harry Houdini

Thereon that many people that would dangle upside down for many people.

-- there aren't that many. The stunt was made

famous by Harry Houdini who first performed it

in Kansas City in 1915. More than 100 years on,

the stunt still has It took Dan just one minute and 51

seconds to break free - the man who was gently lowered back

down to earth has no plans I could people -- hear people

cheering me on and I didn't expect that. I'm really glad I did it. I

don't think I'll do anything that crazy again.

It turns my stomach just looking at it. That is it from us this evening.

There is a new summary at eight o'clock and we will be back at

10:30pm. Have a lovely evening, goodbye.
