Good evening, I'm Tom Hepworth, you're watching South Today. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
A cry for help that wasn't heard, an inquest into the tragic tale | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
of Marion Munns who fell from a motorway bridge. | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
Rail unions call for renationalisation after being | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
quizzed by MP's over the Southern dispute. | :00:16. | :00:24. | |
And this week it is set to turn milder, high pressure will dominate | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
and it will be mainly dry. The weather for the week ahead will come | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
shortly. The troubled NHS mental health | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
trust, Southern Health, was under renewed scrutiny today, | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
as an inquest began into thd death Marion Munns fell to her de`th | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
from a motorway bridge on the M 7. Her family say she was becoling | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
increasingly distressed and didn't Our health correspondent, | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
David Fenton, reports. Over four months last year, | :00:50. | :00:58. | |
Marion Munns's behaviour became She drank water obsessively, | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
she talked to birds, she shouted out numbers, | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
she became lethargic and withdrawn. But when she saw Southern | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
Health doctors, she said Her daughter Kim told the inquest | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
one psychiatrist offered to assess Mrs Munns but only over the phone | :01:15. | :01:23. | |
and she was shocked. Giving evidence at the inqudst, | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
the family said there had bden no plan of care for Mrs Munns | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
and that they had been existing week by week as her behaviour became more | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
and more erratic and worrying. On the night of November thd 12th, | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
Mrs Munns became so agitated at home that she had to be pinned | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
to the ground, while her falily Mrs Munns went to this bridge over | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
the M25 and and then fell The pathologist said | :01:47. | :01:58. | |
she would have died immediately Blood tests showed she had not taken | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
any of her anti-psychotic mddication On the night she died, | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
the family rang Mrs Munns' care worker only to be told | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
that the office was closing Now we are going to be hearhng | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
from that care worker tomorrow, along with psychiatrists | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
and other Southern staff. They will be giving evidencd | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
at the inquest in Winchester and almost certainly they whll be | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
cross-examined by the David Fenton, BBC South Tod`y, | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
at Southern Health headquarters Representatives from two rahl unions | :02:36. | :02:45. | |
got a grilling from MPs tod`y, over the long running strikd action | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
on Southern Railway. The industrial action | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
started back in April, The dispute centres on changing | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
the role of guards and making Unions say they have serious | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
concerns about safety. Passengers have suffered months of | :03:02. | :03:13. | |
delays and cancellations and seven more strike days are planned | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
for November and December. At a meeting of the Transport Select | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
committee, the RMT union called for a face to face meeting | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
with the rail minister The Southern Rail dispute h`s led | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
to months of delays and disruption and there have been calls | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
for the franchise to be So what are the prospects | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
of resolving the dispute? That was the first question from MPs | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
on the Commons Transport Colmittee One union leader said | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
it was all about ensuring a safe service and he called | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
again for a meeting with the government of Southern | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
Rail. What I cannot understand is why MPs | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
who represent constituents, Southern constituents, | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
are prepared to accept less for their constituents | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
than what we have got in Scotland, what we have got in Great Wdstern, | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
what we have got on the east coast. The ball is firmly in the DFT's | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
hands and court and I am hoping they will work with us | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
because we put some solutions One MP who uses Southern tr`ins | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
regularly says he is often turfed off the train because of st`ffing | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
problems and that can be unsafe In exceptional circumstances | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
when it is safe to operate the train as it is on 40% of the network, | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
I want to go home rather I do not think it is safe for people | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
to get off the train and not be able Your issue about safety | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
to me is gamesmanship. I put it to you that what this comes | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
down to is if your members `re not critical to the operation of that | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
train, then all of a sudden, when you call a strike, | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
it does not make any differdnce The MP said the dispute | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
is all about union power not safety. The union said Southern was proof | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
that rail privatisation has been a spectacular | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
failure for passengers. Mark Coles, BBC South | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
Today, Westminster. A devolved 'super council' | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
for Hampshire is a step closer tonight, after the Isle of Wight's | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
cabinet gave the go Portsmouth and Southampton have | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
already said they want to h`ve Supporters say it could be worth | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
nine hundred million pounds in government grants over the next | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
thirty years at a time when councils The Isle of Wight council | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
rejected the plan last week, but tonight the island's exdcutive | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
over-ruled that decision. Patients at Prospect Park | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
psychiatric hospital in Reading were left without heating or hot | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
water over the weekend Family and friends of patients say | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
they're angry action wasn't taken They've told BBC South their loved | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
ones were having to go to bed fully clothed, | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
and had to take cold baths. The Berkshire Health NHS Fotndation | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
trust says a replacement part wasn't available over the weekend but it's | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
now been fixed. A pilot, who won acclaim | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
for her solo flying adventures has been stripped of an award | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
amid doubts about whether she Tracey Curtis-Taylor dubbed herself | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
the 'Bird in a Biplane', and undertook two big challdnges | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
flying from Cape Town to Goodwood and later | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
from Farnborough to Sydney. Three years ago Tracey Curths-Taylor | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
flew 10,000 miles across But this weekend the Light @ircraft | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
Association confirmed that lembers voted to rescind a prestigious | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
trophy for solo flying. The row began after a key tdam | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
member Sam Rutherford claimdd Miss Curtis-Taylor only flew a small | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
part of the journey solo. He told the BBC that on that basis, | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
he had advised her not to accept Tracey Curtis-Taylor is a cdlebrated | :06:53. | :06:56. | |

but on her website says... Solo means what it says, | :07:07. | :07:33. | |
you are the only person in the cockpit, so, if the flight | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
is half an hour and you're the only Equally, 7000 hours flying `round | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
the word is also solo. There is no legal | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
minimum to call it solo. The legal definition means xou have | :07:45. | :07:47. | |

built so visitors can The restoration should give | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
the building, which was vishted by King Henry VIII a number | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
of times, a new lease of life. So we know that everyone le`rns | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
about Tudors at school so, Henry VIII, that iconic historical | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
figure, we want to make surd that we preserve this buildhng | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
because it has been here for over 500 years and we want to make sure | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
that people learning about the Tudors in years to come | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
will be able to walk in the footsteps of when Henry came | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
here with Anne Boleyn. That's the latest thanks | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
