:00:07. > :00:15.Coming up: The courageous actions of a Dorset MP who battled to save the
:00:16. > :00:19.life of the policemen killed in the Westminster terror attack.
:00:20. > :00:25.A record fine for a water company after more than 1 billion litres of
:00:26. > :00:30.raw sewage was pumped into the River Thames. And why have only half the
:00:31. > :00:34.passengers and title to Southern Railway compensation apply for it?
:00:35. > :00:36.-- entitled to The Bournemouth East MP,
:00:37. > :00:41.Tobias Ellwood, is being hailed a hero tonight for his actions
:00:42. > :00:43.to try and save the life of a policeman killed
:00:44. > :00:46.in the Westminster terror attack. The former soldier attempted to give
:00:47. > :00:49.the officer mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and stem the flow
:00:50. > :00:51.of blood from his wounds after he was stabbed
:00:52. > :00:57.in New Palace Yard. Our political editor Peter Henley
:00:58. > :01:12.sent this from behind the security the story around Tobias Ellwood, for
:01:13. > :01:18.'s office minister, is a remarkable -- is a remarkable one. A captain in
:01:19. > :01:22.the Royal Marines, he was walking on his way to vote in the House of
:01:23. > :01:28.Commons and walked the wrong way from the way he was supposed to and
:01:29. > :01:34.so the injured policeman. He performed CPR, try to stem the
:01:35. > :01:39.bleeding until the medics arrived. He carried on for 15 minutes or so.
:01:40. > :01:45.Tobias Ellwood lost his own brother in the Bali terrorist attacks some
:01:46. > :01:50.years ago. I've known him since he was before an MP. He has been
:01:51. > :01:55.involved in a few have I go incidents and is the one person who
:01:56. > :02:00.would -- is the one person you would rely on to get involved in a
:02:01. > :02:06.situation like that. We all crouched down behind the
:02:07. > :02:12.pillars and then got very quick instructions to head back towards
:02:13. > :02:18.portcullis house. At which point, my good friend Tobias Ellwood marched
:02:19. > :02:23.in a fashion in the opposite direction. I knew he had a mission
:02:24. > :02:28.in mind and it was about helping the chap, the police officer, who was
:02:29. > :02:32.injured. The house will be sitting tomorrow,
:02:33. > :02:37.business at usual. Hopefully tourists will still be coming here
:02:38. > :02:42.because, whatever motivation there is this person, they were trying to
:02:43. > :02:44.disrupt normal life but normal life will go on.
:02:45. > :02:46.Tonight, extra police officers are on hand at main railway stations
:02:47. > :02:48.in the south after today's events in London.
:02:49. > :02:50.British Transport Police say it's to offer reassurance
:02:51. > :02:52.rather than in response to a specific threat.
:02:53. > :02:58.Dozens of students from the region were caught up in today's events
:02:59. > :03:00.at Westminster whilst on tours of Parliament, as part
:03:01. > :03:03.One school in Hampshire left the Houses of Parliament
:03:04. > :03:05.just moments before today's attacks began.
:03:06. > :03:14.These school children were among dozens visiting Parliament today
:03:15. > :03:24.Schools including East Preston School from Littlehampton
:03:25. > :03:27.and Northmead Junior School in Guilford were all on trips
:03:28. > :03:30.One school that had been there just moments before today's attack
:03:31. > :03:32.was The Kings School from Winchester.
:03:33. > :03:45.We were very close. We didn't see or hear the incident but had just got
:03:46. > :03:48.on to coach and were within a few metres of it.
:03:49. > :03:50.For most of the day, the Palace of Westminster
:03:51. > :03:58.meaning MPs from the south were kept inside.
:03:59. > :04:04.I've just left Westminster after an incredibly difficult day. A shocking
:04:05. > :04:12.incident of terrorism. I was coming across to vote towards the fountain
:04:13. > :04:16.and had been told that there were shots heard and he had to leave
:04:17. > :04:20.immediately. I rushed down the embankment, picked up my shoes and
:04:21. > :04:22.ran, warning other people to get away as far as they could.
:04:23. > :04:24.This evening, the British Transport Police said extra officers would be
:04:25. > :04:26.in place at railway stations, including Southampton Central
:04:27. > :04:29.and around the south of England to offer reassurance to passengers
:04:30. > :04:37.Tonight at Romsey Abbey, prayers were said to remember those
:04:38. > :04:40.Whilst this attack happened in London,
:04:41. > :04:44.the ripples of what happened ran far deeper.
:04:45. > :04:47.The director of Thames Water has apologised and admitted it failed
:04:48. > :04:56.in its responsibility to the environment after it was
:04:57. > :04:58.fined ?20 million for polluting the River Thames.
:04:59. > :05:01.The company admitted pumping nearly one and a half billion litres
:05:02. > :05:03.of sewage into the river in incidents in Berkshire,
:05:04. > :05:08.The Environment Agency described it as one of the worst pollution
:05:09. > :05:21.The river was black, grey, very smelly, there was dead fish.
:05:22. > :05:24.More than a billion litres of untreated sewage were released
:05:25. > :05:27.into the River Thames and its tributaries
:05:28. > :05:40.After receiving a record fine at Aylesbury Crown Court, Thames Water
:05:41. > :05:43.said it has invested millions in new equipment since the offences.
:05:44. > :05:45.There have been sweeping, far-reaching changes
:05:46. > :05:51.That has included more people, more and better systems
:05:52. > :05:59.The court case followed a three-year investigation
:06:00. > :06:07.The scale was enormous and the pattern of offending was disturbing.
:06:08. > :06:12.It was not because there had been new conditions and permits by us,
:06:13. > :06:16.it was because basic equipment, screens and pumps were not
:06:17. > :06:29.Thames Water has paid for new fencing to keep cattle away
:06:30. > :06:34.Highly irresponsible that such a large company with such
:06:35. > :06:37.large profit margins are polluting our waterways.
:06:38. > :06:45.The judge described Thames Water's failings
:06:46. > :06:49.as diabolical and disgraceful and entirely foreseeable.
:06:50. > :06:55.He said all the problems were avoidable by any competent
:06:56. > :06:59.Local environmental groups welcomed the fine but, as the countryside
:07:00. > :07:01.recovers, their message is that Thames Water simply did not
:07:02. > :07:05.do its job and must change its ways for good.
:07:06. > :07:09.Half the passengers entitled to compensation for poor service
:07:10. > :07:16.on Southern Railway have failed to claim it.
:07:17. > :07:18.Almost 43,000 Southern Railway season ticket holders have
:07:19. > :07:21.so far received a total of ?10 million of compensation.
:07:22. > :07:30.Here's our transport correspondent Paul Clifton.
:07:31. > :07:36.The government announced a one-off compensation deal for Sutherland
:07:37. > :07:44.passengers in December. The aim was to help those who have endured
:07:45. > :07:49.months of disruption. Due to engineering work, inadequate service
:07:50. > :07:56.from Britain's poorest performing train company and strikes. 84,000
:07:57. > :08:06.season-ticket holders are eligible. So far just under 43,000 claims have
:08:07. > :08:09.been processed. Almost half those passengers who could claim
:08:10. > :08:13.compensation either have not bother at or are not aware of what they can
:08:14. > :08:18.claim. I've had the letter saying that I'm
:08:19. > :08:22.due a compensation amounts on my annual season ticket and I followed
:08:23. > :08:26.the instructions but nothing has come through yet.
:08:27. > :08:32.It is not easy, that is why I never claim. The process takes longer than
:08:33. > :08:36.the train is always delayed. I would rather have an operator that
:08:37. > :08:41.can run the trains as they should be run. It is very frustrating and it
:08:42. > :08:44.does affect your life. Annual season ticket holders are
:08:45. > :08:54.entitled to four weeks of free travel. Quarterly, weekly and
:08:55. > :08:56.monthly ticket holders can get back the equivalent.
:08:57. > :09:00.A student nurse who was treated for leukaemia as a child is now
:09:01. > :09:02.working on the wards at Southampton General,
:09:03. > :09:11.alongside the nurse who looked after her 15 years ago.
:09:12. > :09:13.Clara Markavitch was given a 40% chance of survival
:09:14. > :09:17.After years of treatment she is now pursuing her dream of becoming
:09:18. > :09:31.She looked at me and then she that everyone else and she was like, I
:09:32. > :09:37.know you. And I was like, know you. And I hadn't seen and so long and we
:09:38. > :09:42.had a big hug and were shaking. I showed her photos I had on my phone.
:09:43. > :09:44.It was amazing. You can keep up to date on the BBC
:09:45. > :09:48.news channel and online. We will be back with bulletins
:09:49. > :09:50.in BBC Breakfast tomorrow morning, but now here's the weather
:09:51. > :10:08.with Sam Fraser. We had a showery theme today and it
:10:09. > :10:12.will continue tonight. You can see that band of rain moving east to
:10:13. > :10:16.west throughout the night. It is the same rain that moved west to east
:10:17. > :10:22.today. It is coming back to haunt us. Under the cloudy skies,
:10:23. > :10:27.temperatures will return to about five Celsius by dawn. It is a dull
:10:28. > :10:31.and damp start tomorrow morning although the showers start to move
:10:32. > :10:36.off and things brighten up quite quickly with some sunshine perhaps
:10:37. > :10:39.breaking through the afternoon. We are going to keep those showers
:10:40. > :10:45.along the coast for much of the Day, I'm afraid. There will be a keen
:10:46. > :10:51.easterly wind which will take the edge off as temperatures. On Friday,
:10:52. > :10:55.that stubborn area of low pressure is set to feed fresh showers and for
:10:56. > :10:59.a time but high pressure begins to sink side so it will be a more
:11:00. > :11:09.settled picture It certainly was a pretty wet day
:11:10. > :11:10.across parts
