: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
