A charity says GPs need better training.

I was so desperate. I think I would have died, of honestly.

Portsmouth launches bid to become UK City of Culture. Rain is expected

tonight and tomorrow, which could create surface water. I will have

the details shortly. Family doctors need better training

to deal with patients That's the call from one charity

which supports sufferers. More than 1.5 million people

in the UK are affected And there are more deaths

from these conditions The charity Beat says three out

of ten people with an eating disorder do not receive a referral

from their GP to a mental health Anjana Gadgil has been talking

to a woman from Hampshire who struggled to get

the help she needed. A few years ago,

I was looking at it. Natasha was diagnosed with anorexia

by her GP when she was 18 but was not offered any support

and became dangerously underweight. I didn't have a period

for about three or four years. She calorie-counted all her food,

even weighing lettuce, but she knew she was mentally ill

and wanted to get better. I went to two GPs who weighed me

and said, at that point, I was told I was only

slightly underweight Eventually, she met a GP

who understood and referred her to a specialist unit,

but the charity Beat The referral criteria can be limited

by a weight measure, The severity of eating disorders

cannot be measured by a BMI It needs to be measured

by what they are, which is The Royal College of GPs said

it is simply not true that GPs are not trained to identify

and treat patients As with all other aspects

of mental health, eating disorders are included

in the comprehensive GP curriculum. This video was made

by Elizabeth McNaught, Now a junior doctor, she said

there was insufficient training. Throughout five years at medical

school, we only got two Obviously, I am a junior doctor

at the moment and I don't know what training the future holds,

but two hours in five years It got to the point where

I could not cope on my own. Natasha feels that she was lucky

to get the support when she did. I no longer knew what

healthy eating was. And I was so desperate,

I actually think I would have died. Natasha Faithfull

ending that report. And there's more information

about eating disorders It's now 18 months since a vintage

jet crashed onto the A27 during the Shoreham Air Show,

killing 11 men on the ground. Tonight, the families of those

who died have been shown the final conclusions of the official report

into the cause of the crash. The Air Accident Investigation

Branch will publish The pilot, Andy Hill, who survived

the crash, is still under A 15-year-old boy has been arrested

on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm

at a school in Southampton. A second boy was treated in hospital

after what's believed to have been a fight between two teenagers

at the Oasis Academy Mayfield. Police seized what they describe

as a "bladed article", Portsmouth has submitted a bid

to become the UK City The city is best known for its rich

naval heritage but has a growing It's certainly in the spotlight this

year and enjoying millions of pounds The home of the historic

dockyard, the America's Cup The self-proclaimed "great waterfont

city" now wants to become Winning this title brings

in millions of pounds of investment and regeneration

for the winning city. At least 3 million is guaranteed

by the Heritage Lottery Fund. But what does Portsmouth have

that its competitors don't? I just love it and I wouldn't

live anywhere else. Some come for the America's Cup,

of course, and some come So we're beginning to get more

of a reputation and I think to build on those things,

to bring people into Portsmouth and see what we can

offer to the nation. It would be a really good

opportunity to do that. It's not the first time that

Portmsouth has eyed up this prize. It previously teamed up

with Southampton to become Our view is that we feel we have

such a lot to offer in the city. To be able to regenerate those areas

would be just wonderful. And, of course, this

would help immensely. 11 other cities are fighting

for the prize, too. Portmsouth will be hoping that 2021

will be the city's time to shine. Chrissy Sturt is live for us

tonight in Portsmouth. The early indications suggest that,

yes, they are. Hull is experiencing something of a renaissance and the

figures speak for themselves. There has been ?1 billion worth of

investments or far and 60 million pounds boost to the city so far.

Visitor figures have been at an all-time high and they have

attracted important artists and exhibitions along with the likes of

West End musicals. They have made much of their role as a major port

and had this advice for Portsmouth. What I would say to Portsmouth

and what we learned, an awful lot of the world's history

was made on your waterfront and your communities were shaped

by what happened on your waterfront. And it's about celebrating that

and really projecting just what Portsmouth did and what Hull

has done for the world. Portsmouth must really no nail down

the details of that bed. We will hear in December which the winning

city is. -- the details of that bid. A row is brewing in Gosport over

the number of dogs a person should The Borough Council plans to impose

a limit of four by introducing a public space protection

order, or PSPO. That's the same type of measure used

to ban the drinking of alcohol or anti-social behaviour

in a public place. Elsewhere in the South,

very few councils actually set a limit on the number of dogs that

can be walked by one person. Though Adur in West Sussex has

set a maximum of six, Gosport Council claims the measure

will help deal with those who fail But there's anger amongst

some walkers and owners, Nushka, Buddy, Storm,

Mowgli and Polly, heading out on one But the pack may soon

have to be split up, with council plans to cut the number

of dogs that one person's allowed I'm quite upset because it feels

like the many are being I make a point, yes,

I've got five dogs, it doesn't mean They are very good dogs

and I do make sure I clean It's a walk in the park

for these five. But she's worried the change

could hurt her business. It's going to mean more petrol

costs, which means I'm going to have to increase the prices,

which I don't want to do. And then, obviously,

I won't get the clients because it is going to be too

expensive for them. Government guidance says the maximum

number of dogs per handler Well, I'm a dog owner

and I would have trouble walking with six dogs,

to be honest. I know of dog walkers

who walk half a dozen dogs What would you say to someone

who says you are interfering too We would rather everyone acted

in a responsible manner, but unfortunately, there are those

in the minority that always cause Anyone breaking the new rules

could face a ?100 fine. Jessica Parker, BBC
