:00:10. > :00:13.the Chancellor gives it Government backing.
:00:14. > :00:16.And the former chief executhve of Southern Health admits the death
:00:17. > :00:27.of this woman in its care was preventable.
:00:28. > :00:29.Associated British Ports has announced it plans a major dxpansion
:00:30. > :00:35.The Dibden Bay development across Southampton water
:00:36. > :00:39.would effectively double thd size of the port.
:00:40. > :00:41.The Chancellor of the Exchepuer visited the docks today and gave
:00:42. > :00:47.Associated British Ports recently announced a ?50 million invdstment.
:00:48. > :00:55.No, Tom, the chief executivd of ABP said they're short of space
:00:56. > :00:58.back there at the docks, and there's only so many
:00:59. > :01:00.multi-storey car parks to store cars for export you c`n
:01:01. > :01:03.They're actually having to turn business away.
:01:04. > :01:06.It's not just about cars but containers too,
:01:07. > :01:08.and space is available on rdclaimed land across Southampton Watdr
:01:09. > :01:14.The economic benefits wouldn't just be felt with more jobs at the docks,
:01:15. > :01:16.but back through the supply chains and supporting businesses.
:01:17. > :01:19.In a post-Brexit economy, Britain is looking beyond Etrope -
:01:20. > :01:24.a market Southampton alreadx does much of its business with.
:01:25. > :01:27.This is a long-seas port, supporting British exports,
:01:28. > :01:30.not primarily to Europe but to the rest of the world,
:01:31. > :01:33.so it is going to play a very key role in the future.
:01:34. > :01:38.In strategic terms, I would support the development of this port.
:01:39. > :01:41.The last time ABP wanted to do this, it was rejected -
:01:42. > :01:49.An application to develop Dhbden Bay by ABP 12 years ago was rejdcted,
:01:50. > :01:54.Friends Of The Earth have told us tonight the development
:01:55. > :01:56.would destroy internationally and nationally important
:01:57. > :01:59.There's great concern among people living nearby this would represent
:02:00. > :02:01.an increasing industrialisation of the New Forest, as infrastructure
:02:02. > :02:03.like road and rail links would be necessary.
:02:04. > :02:06.This time there won't be a local planning inquiry, though,
:02:07. > :02:08.as it would be considered as a national infrastructure project -
:02:09. > :02:15.the Secretary of State would make the decision.
:02:16. > :02:17.There'll be more reaction and analysis on BBC Radio Solent's
:02:18. > :02:25.A coroner has criticised Southern Health for failing
:02:26. > :02:28.a woman under its care, who was severely depressed `nd fell

:02:34. > :02:40.Our health correspondent David Fenton reports.
:02:41. > :02:43.Marion Munns was a very ill woman, and she was let down
:02:44. > :02:46.by Southern Health, not because people did not care
:02:47. > :02:49.but because they did not do what they should have done.
:02:50. > :02:51.I think her death could have been prevented.
:02:52. > :02:56.So many professionals believed what my mum was saying,
:02:57. > :02:59.when actually that wasn't the right way to look at it,
:03:00. > :03:06.On November 12 last year, Mrs Munns called a family mdeting.
:03:07. > :03:12.She had to be pinned to the ground while her daughter called the police
:03:13. > :03:18.But she managed to escape and she fled into the night.
:03:19. > :03:21.She came to this bridge over the M27.
:03:22. > :03:25.She climbed over the railings and then fell to her death on the road.
:03:26. > :03:29.It was a night her daughter will never forget.
:03:30. > :03:33.I have to live with that im`ge of my mum on that last incident
:03:34. > :03:41.Well, my mum said that she'll haunt me the rest of my lifd.
:03:42. > :03:46.In reality, it wasn't my mul, but it is still very, very hard
:03:47. > :03:49.In his narrative verdict, the coroner Graham Short sahd
:03:50. > :03:55.Firstly, there was no proper care plan for Mrs Munns.
:03:56. > :04:00.Secondly, her condition wasn't reviewed as it should have been
:04:01. > :04:05.And finally, there was no crisis plan for when things went wrong
:04:06. > :04:11.Southern Health said today ht agreed with the coroner's findings.
:04:12. > :04:15.It has since made comprehensive changes to the way it
:04:16. > :04:19.looks after older people with mental health problems.
:04:20. > :04:27.He said, Mrs Munns death should be a wake-up call to Southern Health.
:04:28. > :04:30.In a development tonight, it's emerged the family was sent
:04:31. > :04:32.a letter by the former chief executive of the Trust,
:04:33. > :04:36.Katrina Percy, admitting Marion Munns needn't have dhed.
:04:37. > :04:39.She wrote, your mother's de`th could have been prevented
:04:40. > :04:46.Southern Health has consistdntly said it's trying to improve the way
:04:47. > :04:48.it deals with patients and their families.
:04:49. > :04:52.Some of them met with managdrs today to discuss a new report looking
:04:53. > :04:56.Many were sceptical, and Steve Humphrey
:04:57. > :05:02.I thought it was extremely inappropriate that you would even
:05:03. > :05:05.say that you might have adddd to our group as a family whdn you
:05:06. > :05:09.We are all, myself personally and all of us, incredibly sorry
:05:10. > :05:12.It's been a torrid 12 months for Southern Health -
:05:13. > :05:14.two chairmen and the Chief Executive have gone.
:05:15. > :05:18.Today, as the verdict in the Marion Munns case
:05:19. > :05:20.was delivered, some of the other families whose loved ones h`ve died
:05:21. > :05:24.while in Southern Health's care were meeting the Trust's
:05:25. > :05:30.Maureen Rickman, whose sister died back in 2011,
:05:31. > :05:33.gave this reaction to today's comment by the coroner that
:05:34. > :05:39.Mrs Munns' case should act as a wake-up call to the Trtst.
:05:40. > :05:41.How many wake-up calls does the trust actually need?
:05:42. > :05:47.Again and again we keep hearing that things are going wrong
:05:48. > :05:49.at Southern Health and still we are hearing the same old story.
:05:50. > :05:56.Today the families were told what the Trust is doing
:05:57. > :06:00.Ian Hartley's son Edward didd while being looked after by a carer
:06:01. > :06:07.For us, I think this is encouraging but as I say, we have yet
:06:08. > :06:11.to see tangible action, and that is what we hope
:06:12. > :06:16.A new report commissioned by the Trust is strongly crhtical
:06:17. > :06:25.of its relationship with falilies, saying things went wrong because...
:06:26. > :06:40.Our main concern is the fact the culture won't change
:06:41. > :06:44.if some of the, shall we sax, long-standing directors
:06:45. > :06:50.The Trust has said the latest report makes difficult reading -
:06:51. > :06:52.and the interim chief executive has said,
:06:53. > :06:56."and we are committed to doing things better."
:06:57. > :07:03.Secret files have been obtahned by the BBC which contain new clues
:07:04. > :07:06.as to how four people were wrongly convicted of the Guildford
:07:07. > :07:12.Gerry Conlon, along with his co-defendants,
:07:13. > :07:15.served 15 years in jail before the convictions were quashed.
:07:16. > :07:21.Here's our home affairs correspondent, Emma Vardy.
:07:22. > :07:26.In October 1974, bombs rippdd through two Guildford pubs.
:07:27. > :07:29.Five people were killed and many more injured.
:07:30. > :07:33.Police were under huge pressure to apprehend the IRA
:07:34. > :07:36.bombers responsible for these Surrey attacks.
:07:37. > :07:43.The police and the army camd in and kicked the door in.
:07:44. > :07:46.In front of his sister, who was then 14, Gerry Conlon
:07:47. > :07:52.We were an ordinary Catholic family, growing up on the Falls Road.
:07:53. > :07:58.There was no way that Gerry Conlon was involved in any bombs,
:07:59. > :08:00.because Gerry Conlon was not in the IRA.
:08:01. > :08:03.The accused were brought to court from the police stations
:08:04. > :08:13.The Guildford Four were found guilty and sentenced to life in prhson
:08:14. > :08:14.But in 1989, their moment of redemption came.
:08:15. > :08:16.The Court of Appeal overturned their convictions,
:08:17. > :08:23.I've been imprisoned 15 years for something I didn't do!
:08:24. > :08:25.For something I didn't know anything about!
:08:26. > :08:29.The case shattered confidence in the British legal system.
:08:30. > :08:32.The Guildford Four claimed they had been set up by corrupt police.
:08:33. > :08:37.An inquiry into the wrongful convictions was carried out
:08:38. > :08:41.But more than 700 files from Sir John May's
:08:42. > :08:46.findings remained private, embargoed by the Government.
:08:47. > :08:51.Now a freedom of information request by the BBC has succeeded in securing
:08:52. > :08:57.For the first time, they show some members of the inquiry refused
:08:58. > :09:02.to accept that Gerry Conlon had not been a member of the IRA,
:09:03. > :09:05.and the papers refer to polhce intelligence from the time
:09:06. > :09:09.of the arrest which was never tested in court.
:09:10. > :09:12.They give us an indication that some of the problems that wd had -
:09:13. > :09:16.the persistent attempt to try to re-convict
:09:17. > :09:20.the Guildford Four was still going on.
:09:21. > :09:24.It has to matter, because if it does not matter, we live in a society
:09:25. > :09:30.You know, what the British Government has done,
:09:31. > :09:39.42 years later, I'm still not getting answers.
:09:40. > :09:42.There are now renewed calls for all 700 files to be placed
:09:43. > :09:52.We'll be back with bulletins in BBC Breakfast,
:09:53. > :09:59.but now here's Alexis with your weather.
:10:00. > :10:06.Thank you. Tonight we are looking at the possibility of mist and fog
:10:07. > :10:11.patches but not as widespre`d as last night. Patchy fog with clear
:10:12. > :10:15.skies and also light winds. In the countryside, temperatures could drop
