:00:00. > :00:00.Hello and welcome to South Today, I'm Laura Trant.
:00:00. > :00:09.What now for passengers as drivers on Southern Rail defy their union
:00:10. > :00:15.The scheme helping violent offenders once they are
:00:16. > :00:20.And, a double blessing - the operation that saved
:00:21. > :00:36.the lives of these twins when they were still in the womb.
:00:37. > :00:39.It was almost all over, but it seems there's no end in sight
:00:40. > :00:41.to the long running dispute at Southern Rail.
:00:42. > :00:47.They've rejected a deal to end a series of strikes which have
:00:48. > :00:51.The union held 11 days of talks with the company.
:00:52. > :00:54.It reached a deal and recommended it to drivers.
:00:55. > :01:01.Here's our Transport Correspondent, Paul Clifton.
:01:02. > :01:06.The prospect of a deal with drivers was a rare ray of sunshine
:01:07. > :01:08.for passengers, who endure the poorest performing rail
:01:09. > :01:15.Tonight, that ray of sunshine has gone out.
:01:16. > :01:21.The drivers have rejected a key principle in specific circumstances,
:01:22. > :01:24.they were being asked to operate the doors when a second member
:01:25. > :01:30.For example, when a conductor becomes ill or arrives late.
:01:31. > :01:34.In particular, they were unhappy of the quality of the CCTV cameras
:01:35. > :01:44.Julia Parkin spoke to one driver who did not want to be identified.
:01:45. > :01:46.I think our union don't realise the strength
:01:47. > :01:49.of feeling the drivers have, that we are prepared
:01:50. > :01:55.The concerns we have is that eventually someone will get
:01:56. > :02:00.The driver won't see them on the cameras,
:02:01. > :02:03.which are very poor at the moment and we'll end up in court.
:02:04. > :02:06.And as soon as we move, those camara images go off.
:02:07. > :02:09.So if anyone has run from somewhere to try and get on the train
:02:10. > :02:12.and slipped between the platform, we will not see them.
:02:13. > :02:14.What is the way to get this network running again
:02:15. > :02:18.and running efficiently for the benefit of passengers?
:02:19. > :02:21.Get in that second person to check that it is safe
:02:22. > :02:30.A separate dispute involving conductors is still on.
:02:31. > :02:34.The RMT met the company earlier this week, but made no progress.
:02:35. > :02:37.So a 29th strike day will be held next Wednesday.
:02:38. > :02:41.Southern expects to run four out of five trains.
:02:42. > :02:43.But the drivers' dispute is effectively now back on as well.
:02:44. > :02:46.For passengers, it's like turning the clock back two months.
:02:47. > :02:50.But I don't think Aslef will strike just yet.
:02:51. > :02:54.It will go back to the company and will ask for a slightly better deal.
:02:55. > :02:56.Both the union and the company were taken by surprise
:02:57. > :03:04.And the union leaders will want to talk before they walk.
:03:05. > :03:10.Paul Clifton, BBC South Today, Chichester station.
:03:11. > :03:13.It works with some of Hampshire's most violent offenders
:03:14. > :03:26.The Violent Offender Intervention Programme has run for almost 10
:03:27. > :03:28.years and claims to have successfully stopped hundreds
:03:29. > :03:30.of people from re-offending, but it can't continue
:03:31. > :03:32.after the programme's main source of funding was withdrawn.
:03:33. > :03:35.It's a decision that comes down to the local police
:03:36. > :03:37.and crime commissioner, as our home affairs correspondent
:03:38. > :03:42.I was literally self-harming, I was overdosing, I threatened
:03:43. > :03:48.In trouble with police since he was a teenager,
:03:49. > :03:52.Lesley had four spells in jail over a decade.
:03:53. > :03:55.Someone would start on me and I would say, "come on then.
:03:56. > :04:00.And if they had weapons, I would just grab anything
:04:01. > :04:03.I could get a hold of, like a crowbar or something.
:04:04. > :04:05.So basically, I was very out-of-control.
:04:06. > :04:08.He was in a downward spiral and could not see a way out.
:04:09. > :04:14.Jack Briggs, an ex-special forces man now runs the Violent Offender
:04:15. > :04:19.Intervention Programme for Hampshire which is about to lose its funding.
:04:20. > :04:26.People that are generally referred to as are the most difficult
:04:27. > :04:29.People that are generally referred to us are the most difficult
:04:30. > :04:32.to handle and represent the highest risk of harm to the community.
:04:33. > :04:34.He has helped me with keeping out of prison, got me
:04:35. > :04:41.They need a seamless service that works for them when they are also
:04:42. > :04:43.in prison to ensure there is not a large gap that exists
:04:44. > :04:48.The number of violent and sex offenders being monitored
:04:49. > :04:51.in the community after leaving prison has risen by
:04:52. > :04:56.Figures released by the Ministry of Justice, showed there are more
:04:57. > :04:59.than 70,000 people under supervision in England and Wales.
:05:00. > :05:03.Last year 15% of violent and dangerous offenders managed
:05:04. > :05:06.in the community were returned to custody for a breach
:05:07. > :05:10.The Hampshire Police and Crime Commissioner,
:05:11. > :05:15.Conservative Michael Lane, told us that he is supporting other
:05:16. > :05:18.projects through grants totalling ?1.7 million,
:05:19. > :05:21.and that money has been allocated to achieve maximum impact
:05:22. > :05:26.He said some organisations will be disapopinted,
:05:27. > :05:29.but he is looking for other ways to help.
:05:30. > :05:33.Now the project which changed Lesley's life, must now find other
:05:34. > :05:35.funding to continue, or it will come to an end.
:05:36. > :05:43.There are questions about the future of Guildford cathedral as it's plans
:05:44. > :05:45.to sell off land to raise funds have failed.
:05:46. > :05:49.The trustees of Guildford cathedral say there is no plan B to save it
:05:50. > :05:54.after it lost a housing application, which could have secured its future.
:05:55. > :05:57.The cathedral wants to sell off nine acres of land it owns
:05:58. > :06:01.But, last night, the plan was rejected by councillors.
:06:02. > :06:07.It costs over ?1 million a year to run.
:06:08. > :06:09.It's a delicate and risky operation carried out on babies
:06:10. > :06:12.when they're still in the womb, but a family from Dorset say it
:06:13. > :06:20.Sarah and Dan Maund's sons, Sebastian and Henry had 48 hours
:06:21. > :06:22.to live when medics realised they had twin-to-twin
:06:23. > :06:28.Only 10% of twins have the condition and it can only be treated
:06:29. > :06:38.At 20 weeks I started getting pain, and then we had the devastating news
:06:39. > :06:40.at 22 weeks that they had something called twin-to-twin
:06:41. > :06:54.We did not know whether they would survive.
:06:55. > :06:57.Sarah was rushed to hospital in London, both her twins
:06:58. > :06:59.were in immediate danger and surgeons had 48 hours
:07:00. > :07:07.Henry and Sebastien shared one placenta in Sarah's womb,
:07:08. > :07:10.which meant they were not getting enough blood, and this
:07:11. > :07:15.This is rare, only 10-15% of twins suffer from twin-to-twin transfusion
:07:16. > :07:21.syndrome and need laser surgery to save their lives.
:07:22. > :07:23.The blood vessels that connect the babies are connecting them
:07:24. > :07:28.in an uneven fashion, so the treatment is to put
:07:29. > :07:32.a tiny telescope in, it is about two millimetres
:07:33. > :07:35.in diameter, and through that we can identify the blood vessels that join
:07:36. > :07:38.the two placentas and using an even smaller laser that goes
:07:39. > :07:44.through the same telescope we can block the vessels that connect
:07:45. > :07:49.But now one Hampshire-based charity is leading the campaign to make more
:07:50. > :07:51.of us, including hospitals, are aware of TTTS.
:07:52. > :07:54.From their base in Aldershot, they have helped create a register
:07:55. > :08:00.Individually they may see a couple of dozen cases each year,
:08:01. > :08:04.and by bringing this data together and this knowledge,
:08:05. > :08:07.they will have a far broader, more in-depth picture
:08:08. > :08:10.of what is successful and where they might be able to make
:08:11. > :08:15.changes to improve outcomes in the future.
:08:16. > :08:18.Back in Dorset, and Sarah and Dan are now looking to their future.
:08:19. > :08:21.We are just very lucky we have the two boys and we take
:08:22. > :08:27.We do as much as we can when we get a chance to take them out
:08:28. > :08:35.The same goes for Henry and Sebastian.
:08:36. > :08:38.They are waving goodbye to a troubled first few years.
:08:39. > :08:44.It was once the fastest car in the world.
:08:45. > :08:47.Now, 90 years after breaking the world land speed record,
:08:48. > :08:50.the Sunbeam 1000 is to be restored by a team of engineers in Hampshire.
:08:51. > :08:54.In 1927, driven by Major Henry Segrave, the car reached more
:08:55. > :08:58.than 203 miles an hour, at Daytona Beach in Florida.
:08:59. > :09:01.The vehicle is now on display at the National Motor Museum
:09:02. > :09:06.in Beaulieu, but its two engines are severely corroded.
:09:07. > :09:12.Work's now starting to rebuild them and it's hoped the Sunbeam can run
:09:13. > :09:18.And one quick bit of football news tonight.
:09:19. > :09:20.Southampton has completed the signing of the Uruguayan
:09:21. > :09:23.The 29 year-old defender has previously won a host of trophies
:09:24. > :09:28.with Barcelona and most recently with Juventus.
:09:29. > :09:29.He's joined Saints on a short-term contract
:09:30. > :09:34.That's all from the South Today news team this evening.
:09:35. > :09:37.We're back tomorrow with bulletins in BBC Breakfast and there's more
:09:38. > :09:59.It has been. But there will be rain and it could linger for Northern and
:10:00. > :10:05.western areas through the night. It will start to dry out and the skies
:10:06. > :10:10.were clear to the south-west allowing fog and mist patches to
:10:11. > :10:15.form. With the light winds, the mist and fog might be slow to clear
:10:16. > :10:20.tomorrow morning. But once it does we could see some sunny spells. More
:10:21. > :10:27.cloud than we have seen today, so hazy sunshine at times. Ten to 11
:10:28. > :10:32.Celsius. Winds are liked from the West or south west. Tomorrow night,
:10:33. > :10:35.it is a repeat performance. Clouding over, the chance of rain here and
:10:36. > :10:41.there and maybe mist and fog patches to stop the weekend. After a cloudy
:10:42. > :10:45.start, things will improve. Some bright spells to have. Ahead of this
:10:46. > :10:49.weather front that will arrive Saturday evening into the early
:10:50. > :10:54.hours of Sunday morning, may produce some rain. Not amounting to too
:10:55. > :10:59.much, but Sunday might start on a damp node. As we look to the
:11:00. > :11:01.weekend, it stays mild with temperatures in different figures.
:11:02. > :11:05.Cloud around forthcoming weekend. Here is Nick
:11:06. > :11:10.Miller with a resume of the National weather picture.
:11:11. > :11:13.Hello, rain for some of us today although it won't make much of a
:11:14. > :11:14.dent in the dry winter so
