Hello, good evening, I'm Tom Hepworth. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Coming up on South Today: The private units making | :00:07. | :00:08. | |
money for our hospitals, but is it at the expense | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
The fly-tippers targeting the New Forest, leaving potentially | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
hazardous waste in the National Park. | :00:17. | :00:28. | |
Health managers at the South's hospitals are increasingly investing | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
in facilities for private patients as a way of plugging | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
At Southampton General, it generated ?5 million while the QA | :00:35. | :00:44. | |
Hospital in Portsmouth treated 1,000 private patients. | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
Our health correpondent, David Fenton, sent this report | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
from a new private unit opening at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital. | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
An empty bed, and you don't see many of those in NHS | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
hospitals, but this bed is for private patients only. | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
Within the unit, we have four ensuite bedrooms fully | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
equipped with satellite TVs, and we have a treatment room | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
All of the proceeds of any private practices undertaken | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
here at the Bournemouth private clinic all goes back | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
into the NHS to fund equipment, staffing, facilities. | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
So every single penny comes back into the NHS. | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
And this treatment room I'm very, very proud of. | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
This unit will treat about 800 patients a year - | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
He is on a trial drug that's not available on the NHS. | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
I think they've done an amazing job with not just myself | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
But having that private opportunity as well, | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
if you can get the money and the funding, like myself, | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
It may sound strange, treating private patients | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
inside public hospitals, but it's a way of bringing | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
much-needed cash into the NHS - ?4 million for this hospital alone. | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
This is about offering local people a choice between NHS | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
What we know is that there are still a significant number | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
of people that actually want private care. | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
And the first private patients will begin arriving next week. | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
Well, I asked the chief executive whether he could really promise that | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
NHS patients would not suffer because of the work that's | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
No NHS patient should be displaced as a consequence of the private | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
So no delays, no problems, no lack of staff, anything like that? | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
No, what we've seen over the years, actually, is our private services | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
OK, finally, what are you going to spend the money on? | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
So what we are going to do is we are going to buy more | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
state-of-the-art equipment and kits that will enable us | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
to provide a wider range of services to NHS patients. | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
This is becoming big business now for many, | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
many hospitals in the NHS and I think they believe that, | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
as long as the money goes back into the NHS to help patients, | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
David Fenton, BBC South Today in Bournemouth. | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
A law student's gone on trial for the killing of a father of ten | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
on the Isle of Wight with a single punch. | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
Gary Stacey died from brain injuries after a night | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
21-year-old Ryan Cooper denies manslaughter, | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
The jury at this trial have been told there's no dispute that | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
a punch killed this man, Gary Stacey. | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
But they'll have to decide whether Ryan Cooper threw that | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
punch in self-defence, as he claims, or whether, | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
as the prosecution say, he was spoiling for a fight. | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
Outlining their case, the prosecution said Cooper had | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
recently split from his girlfriend and got together with friends | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
at his parents' house, where they got drunk. | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
He also used drugs, which he told friends about in a Facebook message. | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
I just did the biggest line of cocaine," he wrote. | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
A little later, he messaged, "I feel like I'm invisible." | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
The group went to a bar and continued drinking heavily. | :04:16. | :04:26. | |
Cooper posted another message, saying, | :04:27. | :04:27. | |
"Mate, the Isle of Wight is so different. | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
Later, in this street, Cooper and his friends | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
were approached by Mr Stacey, who they'd had some | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
The jury was shown CCTV footage of the moment | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
We're not able to broadcast these pictures, but they show | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
He fractured his skull, sustaining brain damage. | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
The following day, Cooper told friends that Mr Stacey | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
had threatened him, swearing and shouting. | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
In police interviews, he said Mr Stacey had come | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
"He looked like he was going to hit me," he told police, | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
"so I just jabbed him to get him away." | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
He said he punched him in self-defence. | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
The trial is expected to last two weeks. | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
Fire crews have spent most of the evening at the scene | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
of a blaze at a school in West SussexT. | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
The fire, at the Weald secondary school in Billingshurst, | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
The leisure centre next door was evacuated. | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
It's thought the fire started in a ground-floor classroom. | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
Serial fly-tippers who've dumped hazardous waste on the New Forest | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
have been accused of putting people and animals at risk. | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
The National Trust says cleaning up the waste, | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
which includes asbestos, will cost thousands of pounds. | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
It's one of the most beautiful parts of the New Forest and a site | :05:57. | :06:05. | |
But Furzley Common near West Wellow has become a dumping | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
Time and again, household rubbish, building materials and even | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
dangerous asbestos has been tipped on this National Trust land. | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
Everybody likes to walk around in it. | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
You've got animals and everything wandering around here, dog walkers. | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
And to leave hazardous materials here, it is | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
What on earth do these people think they are doing? | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
I don't know where people are coming from, to think it is OK to dump it | :06:32. | :06:43. | |
in a place like this. There are sharp edges | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
and goodness knows what. Furzley Common isn't | :06:48. | :06:48. | |
the only part of the forest A big pile of old tyres was also | :06:49. | :07:00. | |
left on National Trust land at Linwood on the western side | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
of the forest. In the last week alone, | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
we have had over four different fly-tipping incidents | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
in the last seven days. I would estimate that has cost us | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
?3000 in National Trust charitable funds, which could be | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
spent on conservation. In 2017 alone, we are up to 15 | :07:14. | :07:21. | |
separate incidents of fly-tipping. Across the south of England, | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
fly-tipping is on the rise. Last year, there were | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
nearly 38,000 cases, Back on the New Forest, | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
there are calls for greater vigilance by residents | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
to catch those responsible. The district council says it's | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
working with the National Trust to investigate the recent | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
series of incidents. So what action can councils take | :07:45. | :07:52. | |
to catch the fly-tippers? David Allard is at Damerham | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
in the New Forest tonight. This is another village that's | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
seen its fair share of fly-tipping. The local authority | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
is New Forest District Council. They told me they used to use mobile | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
CCTV cameras at fly-tipping hotspots But there's been a change | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
in the law - the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
or RIPA. It now means, if councils | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
want to use CCTV to monitor suspected criminal activity, | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
they have to apply to a magistrate and prove the action | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
is reasonable and proportionate. So people in this village decided | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
to gather evidence themselves. It's very difficult for individuals | :08:29. | :08:43. | |
or parish councils to actually Local authorities have got powers | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
to do so although obviously You find that individuals will have | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
to comply with various regulations about how the images are stored, | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
where they are accessed, who's got access to them | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
and obviously have to supply copies Of course, parish councils | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
are made up of volunteers. Many simply won't have the time | :09:06. | :09:18. | |
or resources to do that. So the main plea tonight | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
from people in Damerham, New Forest District Council | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
and the National Trust Report any cases of suspected | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
fly-tipping because, as we've heard, it's costing thousands to clear up - | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
money that could be spent on far That's the latest, | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
thanks for being there. We're back with bulletins in BBC | :09:38. | :09:45. | |
Breakfast tomorrow morning, but now here's Alexis | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
with your weather forecast. Rain is on the cards overnight. Many | :09:48. | :10:00. | |
light and patchy and mild. Temperatures in most areas remaining | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
in double figures. These are the values in urban areas but in the | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
countryside lows of eight Celsius. Patchy rain will be with us first | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
thing. And through the morning, the rain will ease and we will see | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
brighter skies. Still a fair amount of cloud. Temperatures will reach a | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
high of 14 Celsius for any prolonged periods of sunshine, a high of 16 | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
Celsius, very similar to the day's temperatures. Cloud and outbreaks of | :10:31. | :10:41. | |
rain on Thursday, the weather front pulls away and move northwards. We | :10:42. | :10:43. | |
will start to see brighter skies to the course of the day, possibly hazy | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
sunshine, but it will feel warm. We drag up that mild an through Spain | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
and France and temperatures on Thursday could reach a high of | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
17-18 C, the warmest day of the week. Through Friday, temperatures | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
fall back to the seasonal average. The chance of rain at times. Cloud, | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
bright ASBOs tomorrow and Thursday. of year. This stay tuned for the | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
national weather forecasts with John Hammond. | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
Good evening. Your parents might have told you once that life 's not | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
fair and they were right. He is the proof. Over the next few days some | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
of us will enjoy some lovely sunshine, temperatures in the low | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
20s. It will feel like early summer. For others, quite a lot of rain | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
around and it will feel like late March. This is showers earlier on | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
today and dampness this evening in the West Country and Wales. That is | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
heading north eastwards. A different sort of night. A lot of cloud | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
around, quite damp and misty in places. Cloud cover will prevent | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
temperatures falling much at all. A much milder my than we have seen | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
recently. Except for the North of Scotland, but elsewhere in double | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
figures. It will be a Graeme Murty start of the day for most | :11:54. | :11:54. |
