:00:00. > :00:08.Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.
:00:09. > :00:11.Good evening - I'm David Allard with the news in the south.
:00:12. > :00:15.It's an NHS Trust in trouble - and today its chief executive quit.
:00:16. > :00:19.Karen Baker is standing down as leader of the Isle
:00:20. > :00:22.of Wight NHS Trust - two weeks after concern
:00:23. > :00:25.was raised it could be put into special measures -
:00:26. > :00:28.and just days before the Care Quality Commission
:00:29. > :00:33.The Trust says Ms Baker won't be getting a severance payment.
:00:34. > :00:35.Earlier I asked our health correspondent David Fenton
:00:36. > :00:42.Well, it's clearly about the report that's due out in 12 days' time.
:00:43. > :00:45.She has seen it, I haven't, but I can tell you it's
:00:46. > :00:51.In fact, I think the Trust is going to get a bit of a slating.
:00:52. > :00:54.The CQC criticises hospitals and Trusts all the time and the chief
:00:55. > :00:59.When they do resign, that is where the leadership
:01:00. > :01:08.Now, we don't know if that's what the CQC are saying
:01:09. > :01:12.but Karen Baker seemed to allude to that in her resignation letter
:01:13. > :01:15.when she talked about the Trust needing a new pair of eyes to look
:01:16. > :01:23.What does this say about the state of health services on the island?
:01:24. > :01:27.Things have been pretty bad for a while here, actually.
:01:28. > :01:30.Back in December 2016, mental health services
:01:31. > :01:37.Then in January 2017, operations were cancelled from this
:01:38. > :01:41.hospital and many patients moved to the mainland.
:01:42. > :01:44.Just this March, an Improvement Director was put in to help
:01:45. > :01:52.We've been on the island today talking to patients
:01:53. > :01:55.about what they think of the services.
:01:56. > :01:58.I suffer from clinical depression and anxiety and borderline
:01:59. > :02:04.I have a complete and utter total lack of confidence.
:02:05. > :02:07.I know that there are problems everywhere in the NHS,
:02:08. > :02:10.but I think that they do a marvellous job.
:02:11. > :02:13.I can't criticise it at all, not for me and not for my family.
:02:14. > :02:16.I wouldn't choose to go to St Mary's.
:02:17. > :02:22.When I've been to the hospital, all the staff have been amazing.
:02:23. > :02:25.And the children's ward is just so lovely.
:02:26. > :02:30.I just think the staff are amazing. It's just the funding, maybe.
:02:31. > :02:34.One of the strange things about the island is that
:02:35. > :02:37.all of the health services here - the ambulance, the hospital,
:02:38. > :02:41.emergency department, mental health, community care -
:02:42. > :02:49.And the CQC has been in to look at every one of those areas.
:02:50. > :02:53.I think there could be something like 13 different reports coming out
:02:54. > :02:57.but I think it's going to be mental health services that they are really
:02:58. > :03:02.looking closely at and that come in for the most criticism.
:03:03. > :03:06.David Fenton in Newport, thank you very much.
:03:07. > :03:10.The pilot of a plane that ditched into the sea off Sussex yesterday
:03:11. > :03:14.says the engine cut out at an altitude of about 400 feet.
:03:15. > :03:18.Ian Perry swam to shore with his passenger, after the light
:03:19. > :03:21.aircraft came down shortly after take-off from
:03:22. > :03:25.Insurance assessors have been examining the plane today.
:03:26. > :03:28.A quarter of children are falling behind in their first year
:03:29. > :03:30.at school, because nurseries don't have enough qualified teachers.
:03:31. > :03:34.That's according to a study by Save the Children,
:03:35. > :03:36.who are calling on the Government to ensure all nurseries have
:03:37. > :03:40.qualified early years staff. But while parents welcome the idea -
:03:41. > :03:43.they're also concerned they'll be the ones to pay for it.
:03:44. > :03:50.Love, laughter and learning - that's the ethos behind
:03:51. > :03:56.The activities here are supported by qualified teachers to get
:03:57. > :04:00.a good start in key areas like maths and English.
:04:01. > :04:04.But a new report by Save the Children has revealed that
:04:05. > :04:06.generally, struggling toddlers aren't getting
:04:07. > :04:12.As a result, one in four is falling behind in the first year of school.
:04:13. > :04:15.I think it's very important for all our staff to
:04:16. > :04:18.have an underpinning knowledge of children's development
:04:19. > :04:22.so that they can tune in to children, but I think
:04:23. > :04:25.they need to have a holistic approach.
:04:26. > :04:29.What's most important for children is for them to have warm,
:04:30. > :04:32.affirming relationships with their carers and teachers.
:04:33. > :04:35.A quarter of parents surveyed said they were worried their child would
:04:36. > :04:42.Half were concerned about sending their child to nursery
:04:43. > :04:46.without a qualified teacher and three quarters believed
:04:47. > :04:49.it was the government's responsibility to ensure
:04:50. > :04:53.there were teachers in all nurseries.
:04:54. > :04:56.But that would require a major recruitment drive to find another
:04:57. > :05:00.3,200 nursery teachers across our region.
:05:01. > :05:03.The shortage is being blamed on the fact nurseries are already
:05:04. > :05:06.struggling with recruitment costs and other funding pressures,
:05:07. > :05:09.so those likely to foot the bill are the parents.
:05:10. > :05:12.I think they're highly qualified as it is and they take really good
:05:13. > :05:17.I've got two children in nursery at the moment.
:05:18. > :05:21.But I do pay a lot of money, so if we have more qualified people
:05:22. > :05:23.in nursery settings, would that put up the price
:05:24. > :05:26.and would I be happy to pay for it? I'm not sure.
:05:27. > :05:28.Dr Jo Blanden from Portsmouth recently published a study that
:05:29. > :05:32.found children with access to teachers only performed slightly
:05:33. > :05:39.Our point is that they're really quite small -
:05:40. > :05:42.the effects you find in these types of studies compared to the other
:05:43. > :05:44.kinds of differences between children, say,
:05:45. > :05:46.between rich and poor children. These effects are very small.
:05:47. > :05:49.When it comes to learning, all the studies conclude
:05:50. > :05:52.that the early years are the most important and that everyone involved
:05:53. > :06:01.When you've got a job you love, it's hard to give it up.
:06:02. > :06:04.Which is why 93-year-old hairdresser Kathleen Privett from Portsmouth
:06:05. > :06:08.has put off that moment - until today.
:06:09. > :06:10.After an incredible 72 years in the family salon,
:06:11. > :06:14.Kathleen's finally hanging up her scissors.
:06:15. > :06:20.It isn't just like ordinary business, if someone comes
:06:21. > :06:24.in and buys something and goes out, it's a much more personal
:06:25. > :06:28.contact than that. I shall miss it.
:06:29. > :06:32.And of course we wish Kathleen a long and happy retirement.
:06:33. > :06:39.Now Sam's here with the weather - do you still fancy forecasting at 93?
:06:40. > :06:47.I call that Executive youth! April arrives tomorrow and we did some
:06:48. > :06:52.traditional April fair. Some cloudy skies and showers as we go through
:06:53. > :06:56.tonight. Over the coming hours, we will CDs showers moving in from the
:06:57. > :07:02.south west. Some places remaining dry but under the cloudy skies, damp
:07:03. > :07:06.conditions and eight Celsius. Tomorrow, we keep those showers but
:07:07. > :07:09.also some bright spells and the showers will become more widespread
:07:10. > :07:15.as we go through the day. They could be heavy and there could be some
:07:16. > :07:20.thunder and hail. In the brightness, 14 Celsius is the top temperature.
:07:21. > :07:24.Sunday, high pressure building so a more settled day and some good sunny
:07:25. > :07:28.spells. It will feel pleasant. Looking ahead to the start of the
:07:29. > :07:32.week, high pressure with us for Monday, sunny spells to enjoy.
:07:33. > :07:36.Coming next, the national weather forecast.
:07:37. > :07:44.Hello. There the weekend is here and Sunday looks like being the better
:07:45. > :07:47.day of the two. We're going to start the weekend, a new month, with
:07:48. > :07:52.sunshine and April showers. Those fade away overnight. Saturday night
:07:53. > :07:57.could be chilly. It points to a fine day on Sunday. This picture was
:07:58. > :07:58.taken by a weather watcher to end the day in Dundee. This one
