And we will ask why so many more people over the age of 65 are | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
And you're watching Saturday. Coming getting married these | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
And you're watching Saturday. Coming up, light at the end of the tunnel | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
for southern commuters. The drivers union and management hammer out a | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
fresh deal. And carry on cruising, more people are taking a cruise than | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
the average age is coming down. Can the meeting capitalise further on a | :00:23. | :00:23. | |
booming industry? Hampshire Police have questioned | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
a 64-year-old man from Southampton as part of an investigation | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
into historical abuse in football. The man who cannot be | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
named for legal reasons has been interviewed | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
by officers under caution. Our reporter Anjana Gadgil | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
has more details. Hampshire Police confirmed | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
it was investigating historical abuse in football | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
in November last year. Now the force says it has questioned | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
a 64-year-old man from Southampton. The man, who attended voluntarily | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
for questioning earlier this week, has been interviewed under caution | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
in a police custody suite. In a statement today the force said | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
this was part of a significant and complex investigation | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
being undertaken by specialist officers from Hampshire's | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
major crime team. Since last year, forces | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
across the country have launched investigations into historical abuse | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
in football and hundreds of alleged Hampshire Police says | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
it is still encouraging victims of any abuse to contact the force | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
or the NSPCC. A new deal to end a dispute by train | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
drivers has been agreed between Southern Railway | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
and the Aslef union. Six days of strike action | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
in recent months have How hopeful should | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
the most beleagured passengers We're basically back | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
to where we were a month ago. Remember then, on that occasion, | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
Southern Rail's parent company Govia Thameslink Railway reached | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
an agreement with the union over the issue making drivers responsible | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
for safety on trains and changing the role of guards, only to see | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
drivers unexpectedly reject a deal brokered | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
by their own union. The margin wasn't large, | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
55% against, and the two sides have been talking ever since to find | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
a way of bringing a majority GTR director Andy Bindon said | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
he was pleased with the deal and hoped it would end, | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
in a statement adding, "It's been an extraordinarily | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
difficult period for passengers, staff and the regional economy | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
and we are glad we've found a way What details have emerged | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
about the revised agreement? But it's likely to include further | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
improvements to CCTV monitoring systems drivers use when closing | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
the train doors. The dispute is over GTR's decision | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
to turn guards into on-board supervisors and give responsibility | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
for opening and closing Some of Southern's | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
300,000 passengers gave I don't know if I believe it. They | :02:56. | :03:10. | |
have said so many times they are doing this and that and they don't | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
keep their promises. We are all fed up. I think all parties should sort | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
it out, months ago. I'm not feeling hopeful but fingers crossed, I hope | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
that people like me who have been waiting, I cannot get a hold my | :03:29. | :03:29. | |
breath. What is the timescale | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
for next developments? Members will be balloted | :03:33. | :03:33. | |
on the proposals. The result of the vote will be | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
announced on three April. Passengers will be crossing | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
their fingers that this time the deal will be strong | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
enough to stick. Worth adding, the separate | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
year-long strike by guards Some encouraging news | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
for the port of Southampton. The number of people taking cruise | :03:46. | :03:55. | |
holidays is up again, Almost half the two-million British | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
people who now cruise choose Our transport correspondent | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
Paul Clifton reports Our love affair with | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
cruise ships is thriving. The British cruise industry has | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
grown by 50% in ten years. The last new ships were P's | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
flagship Britannia, named by the Queen, and the latest | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
offering from Royal Caribbean, which brings one of the world's | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
biggest ships for the summer season. But the number of people who choose | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
to start their holidays from a British port, | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
usually Southampton, is rising three times faster | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
than the number who fly off Almost two million British | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
holiday-makers And the average age | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
is getting a little younger - Royal Caribbean in particular has | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
spent billions on ships that Southampton-based P Cruises | :04:53. | :05:11. | |
has done much the same. And we are taking more | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
foreign holidays as Partly cruising is about paying | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
in Stirling, no need to worry about Partly it is about | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
avoiding increasingly And partly it is about | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
value for money. I think we are seeing | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
some holidays decisions made around the Valley of the lb, | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
and we are seeing people who might travel to Europe may be trading down | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
in the length of time they would go for, so they will still | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
spend the same amount I think what cruises | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
allow people to do is budget ahead, they know | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
what they're going to pay | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
for the holiday, items they might want, | :06:03. | :06:03. | |
their insurance, drinks, so they can A cruise costs typically | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
?70 to ?90 a day, that is about the same | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
as a But you get meals and | :06:12. | :06:12. | |
entertainment included. Southampton has two thirds | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
of the cruise market. Each time a large ship | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
docks it pumps ?2 million into the regional economy, | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
firms supplying food and drink, taxis, coaches | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
and hotels all benefit. Earlier I asked professor | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
John Fletcher from Bournemouth University, how the south | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
could further capitalise on an industry that's predicted | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
to grow by nearly a third over To some extent it is linking | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
the destinations along the south coast around Southampton | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
so that they are more visible when people | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
are arriving, either to go on their cruise ship, when they return from | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
their cruise, so if they want to stay and go and explore other areas | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
around the southern region. With the low-level of | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
the pound as it is at the moment, are we starting to see | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
people from abroad flying over to Yes, there is an element of | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
that. We should be capitalising on that | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
while we can because a lot of the things that fuel the cruise | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
ships including fuel will suffer inflation pressures precisely | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
because of the fall in the pound, so you would expect prices | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
to go back up again, so there will be a window | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
of opportunity where prices are Should Southampton be | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
worried about Liverpool? One of the attractions | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
of Southampton would be the add-on when people come over | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
to do their shopping in London, particularly visitors from | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
the Middle East, they can do their shopping and they may come down | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
to Southampton to go But they should be worried | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
in terms of the competition of the smoothness, the quality | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
of the experience of cruise ship passengers, because we are all | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
after the same market. Where do you see the future | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
of the cruise industry going? They are trying to capitalise | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
and capture some of that ?1 trillion spending from the millennials around | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
there, so you see cruise ships now with neighbourhoods, | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
sporting activities, they become the This is really interesting | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
for the south, because if they can attract | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
the younger audience, these are precisely the sort of people | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
who will explore farther around the south coast and come out | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
to Bournemouth, New Forest, or over towards Portsmouth, so by attracting | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
younger people they are likely Reading's carnival | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
will return this year. The event attracts more than 10,000 | :08:46. | :08:55. | |
people but hasn't taken place for three years | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
because of a lack of Now a new team has been | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
awarded financial support from the National Lottery | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
to bring it back in May. There's a lot of history stored | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
in Reading and there's a lot of passion and feeling that's | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
attached to Carnival. It's something that belongs | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
to our communities that we're inviting everybody | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
into and opening out. So we're really proud | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
to be hosting it. And we're really | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
looking forward to it. That's how its looking tonight, | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
thanks for being there. We'll be back with bulletins | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
tomorrow in bbc breakfast. But first here's Alexis | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
with your weather forecast. we are very foggy out there, in many | :09:31. | :09:48. | |
places. The blog is moving inland along the coast and it is quite | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
thick. A lot of mist and fog overnight, a lot of clout as well. | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
Clear skies initially for many places particularly not Berkshire | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
will have clear skies do much of the night, then the clout and fog will | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
increase and temperatures will fall away to around seven or eight | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
Celsius, so quite a mild night. A grey day tomorrow, contrast to the | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
sunny conditions of the day. One to brighter spells also to the | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
afternoon the chance of light rain. A lot of dry weather as well, | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
temperatures were reached a high of ten or 11 Celsius. Tomorrow evening | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
and overnight, a cold front moves to Andy at the hide it will be a lot | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
fresher, we gusty the wind increases because of Friday. Bright and sunny | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
start on Friday, but downhill quickly with strengthening westerly | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
wind and outbreaks of rain arriving through Friday afternoon. There was | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
stay with us to enter Saturday. To do the weekend it turned on saddle, | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
after a spell of dry weather over the last few weeks. Tomorrow we will | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
have a lot of clout, one or two brighter spells and highs of 11 | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
Celsius, rain arriving later on been. The outlook, rain around, if | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
it stays dry I will be surprised. Here is Nick with the national | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
headlines. For large parts of Wales and England | :11:08. | :11:23. | |
there was blue sky and warmth. Warmest day of the year, a clumsy | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
way of saying the UK had | :11:29. | :11:30. |
