:00:14. > :00:17.scenes like these, queuing ambulances outside A

:00:22. > :00:25.The decision to concentrate work in Scotland is now under scrutiny.
:00:26. > :00:28.And the Magpies steal a win from the Seagulls in the battle
:00:29. > :00:43.A Dorset hospital's employed a paramedic to look
:00:44. > :00:50.The pilot scheme at the Royal Bournemouth is designed to allow
:00:51. > :00:53.ambulances to get back on the road rather than being tied
:00:54. > :00:55.up until patients have been admitted to a bed.
:00:56. > :00:57.It's cut average ambulance turnaround times from around
:00:58. > :01:02.This year there's been a ten percent increase in attendances at A and E.
:01:03. > :01:08.Our Health correspondent David Fenton has followed one
:01:09. > :01:15.patient, Iris, who had a fall at home....
:01:16. > :01:20.being seen by Fran, who works in the corridor outside accident and
:01:21. > :01:24.She is here from 12 noon until midnight.
:01:25. > :01:27.She can look after four patients at a time.
:01:28. > :01:31.While Iris is in the corridor with me, I am going to keep an eye
:01:32. > :01:39.Anything I think that is a problem, I can escalate it to the staff
:01:40. > :01:42.Anything she might need, I can request.
:01:43. > :01:45.As long as she is OK, I am happy in the corridor
:01:46. > :01:49.The ambulance crew can leave without having to wait for Iris to
:01:50. > :01:53.We are taking the patient in, managed to hand them
:01:54. > :01:56.over within the 15 minutes target time, which is really good.
:01:57. > :01:58.We will now come clear and head to the next one.
:01:59. > :02:00.Staff here have been looking at new ways
:02:01. > :02:05.like Fran and private ambulances to bring patients in quickly.
:02:06. > :02:07.Back in the corridor and something is wrong.
:02:08. > :02:15.So Fran takes her to resuscitation area.
:02:16. > :02:22.First thing I have done is I have picked up
:02:23. > :02:29.It has happened in just a few minutes but Iris has now been
:02:30. > :02:31.admitted to a hospital bed and she is doing well.
:02:32. > :02:34.Three years ago, Portsmouth was dealt a huge blow with the closure
:02:35. > :02:38.With a lack of new orders, a decision was made
:02:39. > :02:41.But, that strategy is now under scrutiny.
:02:42. > :02:44.And, as Steve Humphrey reports, there's a chance that naval ship
:02:45. > :02:53.A spectacular show celebrated the return of shipbuilding
:02:54. > :02:55.to Portsmouth with the conclusion of HMS Clyde in 2006.
:02:56. > :02:59.but the yard closed in 2014 after sections of the new naval

:03:08. > :03:20.The low number of warships and orders of course
:03:21. > :03:22.leads to problems in production lines and the investment you put
:03:23. > :03:28.Today, the industrialist who was asked by ministers to
:03:29. > :03:31.come up with a new national shipbuilding strategy told MPs
:03:32. > :03:34.poor planning and cost overruns have had a big impact in the past.
:03:35. > :03:36.Sir John Parker said future ships could be
:03:37. > :03:37.built around the country to boost competition.
:03:38. > :03:46.If we can build these ships on time, with a grip on the
:03:47. > :03:48.specification and cost, then we will undoubtedly accumulate
:03:49. > :03:57.Could shipbuilding return to the south?
:03:58. > :03:59.Quite a lot of the facilities still exist.
:04:00. > :04:01.And I think how easily the BAE Systems set up the carrier
:04:02. > :04:06.component programme, that shows you how quickly
:04:07. > :04:13.Unless the politicians say we do want to diversify and spread some of
:04:14. > :04:18.this around the rest of the UK, it will not happen.
:04:19. > :04:20.And will publish its new national shipbuilding strategy in the summer.
:04:21. > :04:23.It said it remained committed to having 19 front-line frigates and
:04:24. > :04:26.Work on the new type 26 frigates will start
:04:27. > :04:29.It is expected that yards around the country, including
:04:30. > :04:33.here in the south, may well be able to bid for work on the follow-up
:04:34. > :04:47.Britain's naval fleet dates back more than a thousand years -
:04:48. > :04:50.and while big ships remain crucial to our defence the future
:04:51. > :04:52.of warfare is likely to be smaller and unmanned.
:04:53. > :04:55.Our Political Editor Peter Henley has looked at the role of drone
:04:56. > :05:09.It flies at 45mph and weighs less than ?2 coin using
:05:10. > :05:13.This is the next generation of military drone.
:05:14. > :05:15.It is being developed by animal dynamics,
:05:16. > :05:18.a spin off country from the Oxford University zoology department.
:05:19. > :05:20.We are making a drone that flaps like an insect does.
:05:21. > :05:23.It has natural suspension, can tolerate
:05:24. > :05:26.high winds and it really goes to the heart of what we are about,
:05:27. > :05:29.looking at how you can derive higher performance and efficiency by
:05:30. > :05:39.Visiting the university, defence secretary Sir Michael Fallon
:05:40. > :05:41.said the armed forces are increasingly at the cutting edge
:05:42. > :05:47.I would like to make it easier for small,
:05:48. > :05:50.to come to defence to bring their ideas,
:05:51. > :05:51.their products, and see if
:05:52. > :05:53.they can be used by the Armed Forces.
:05:54. > :05:56.That has been too slow in the past, too bureaucratic and they
:05:57. > :06:00.have found difficulty getting funding.
:06:01. > :06:02.The Ministry of Defence has announced a Dragons'
:06:03. > :06:04.Den style panel of experts to help provide advice.
:06:05. > :06:06.Also pushing the frontiers of military kits, Tim
:06:07. > :06:08.Peake, an Army major, will join the panel.
:06:09. > :06:11.From the time of the Spitfire onwards, when Britain has faced a
:06:12. > :06:14.hostile threat, we have stepped up technology to answer it.
:06:15. > :06:15.The Ministry of Defence is warning that,
:06:16. > :06:18.in an age of cyber warfare, our best technology experts have an important
:06:19. > :06:23.Because you can be sure that, if we are capable
:06:24. > :06:25.of developing these sorts of weapons, other countries
:06:26. > :06:45.Professor Jim Scanlan from the university of Southampton
:06:46. > :06:48.is an expert in drone technology, he was in Bosham, in West Sussex,
:06:49. > :06:51.I asked him what the next generation of drones might do.
:06:52. > :06:54.Traditionally, in military, they've spoke about applications that are
:06:55. > :07:10.We now referred to the four Ds - dull, dirty,
:07:11. > :07:18.The advantage of having very small drones is
:07:19. > :07:19.you can distribute them, so
:07:20. > :07:21.you can undertake a collective task, for example.
:07:22. > :07:23.So, we talking about new technology and artificial
:07:24. > :07:34.very small, more done units that are potentially cheaper,
:07:35. > :07:37.that are more effective, more liable than a large,
:07:38. > :07:39.It's not just aircraft though, is it?
:07:40. > :07:43.So, there is a very successful company based in
:07:44. > :07:45.Portsmouth called Autonomous Surface Vessels that already make target
:07:46. > :07:48.boats for the Navy but are doing a lot of work in other applications,
:07:49. > :07:54.particularly surveillance, for example.
:07:55. > :08:00.And how did you see the future for these type of vessels?
:08:01. > :08:01.Particularly underwater, minesweeping.
:08:02. > :08:03.It's something that easy to automate and very desirable
:08:04. > :08:06.Often, you can get a better results because you are using
:08:07. > :08:16.things like artificial intelligence and the system doesn't get old.
:08:17. > :08:18.Is there a risk that a more you remove
:08:19. > :08:22.your personnel from your military, the more likely it is that you might
:08:23. > :08:27.take military action because there is less risk to your side?
:08:28. > :08:29.Yes, I think that is a particular danger,
:08:30. > :08:32.and we've seen recently terrorist use of drones, which is a very
:08:33. > :08:43.We have a colleague in the UK, called Noel Sharkey, who
:08:44. > :08:47.does a lot of very useful work on the ethics of drones and when we
:08:48. > :08:48.talk about things like artificial intelligence,
:08:49. > :08:49.making sure drones are
:08:50. > :08:52.given the right set of rules for engagement.
:08:53. > :08:59.Professor Jim Scanlan, thank you very much for joining us.
:09:00. > :09:01.Football and the top two in the Championship went head
:09:02. > :09:06.Brighton were looking to take another big step towards promotion
:09:07. > :09:08.to the Premier League - but it wasn't meant to be.
:09:09. > :09:10.The Seagulls made a good start taking
:09:11. > :09:20.to the ground but got up to fire in his 17th goal of the season.
:09:21. > :09:22.The scoreline remained 1-0 until the 81st minute when Newcastle
:09:23. > :09:25.equalised with this shot from Mohamed Diame.
:09:26. > :09:32.And, the magpies secured themselves three points
:09:33. > :09:33.with Ayoze Perez's goal in extra time.
:09:34. > :09:36.Final score 2-1 - leaving Newcastle two points clear
:09:37. > :09:47.Thats the latest thanks for being there, we'll be back
:09:48. > :09:49.with bulletins in BBC Breakfast tomorrow morning but now here's
:09:50. > :10:03.Yes, very much so. It will turn chilly with a clearing sky, maybe
:10:04. > :10:08.Frosterley countryside and sheltered spots. The of ice around untreated
:10:09. > :10:11.surfaces. Most visible start the day tomorrow on a drying out and
:10:12. > :10:18.temperatures in the countryside to Nigel dropped to freezing. Through
:10:19. > :10:21.because the moral, a sunny start like this morning, cloud increasing
:10:22. > :10:27.quickly and a band of rain looking in from the west. Turning him for a
:10:28. > :10:31.time, like Apache, some dry as well. Which is the moral verisimilitude
:10:32. > :10:38.today, reaching a chilly high of 6-8 C. Gale-force winds tomorrow
:10:39. > :10:42.night, and during the early hours of Thursday morning. Starting Thursday
:10:43. > :10:47.daytime, expecting more sunshine and dry weather as well. Mainly dry
:10:48. > :10:52.during the course of the day, the odd isolated shower is a possibility
:10:53. > :10:57.and Thursday is a pretty breezy day. Tomorrow is the first day of spring
:10:58. > :11:00.in the media world, calendar, it is the 20th of March tomorrow... Some
:11:01. > :11:01.sunny spells is the nicest day of the next view,
:11:02. > :11:12.otherwise chilly and unsettled. Good evening. We are about to head
:11:13. > :11:16.into March, the days are getting longer, but are they getting any
:11:17. > :11:20.warmer? Not really. We will get there in the end, but we will have
:11:21. > :11:25.to be patient, not very springlike at the moment. Some showers
:11:26. > :11:27.scattered around across England and Wales will tend to diminish
