Hello and welcome to the programme. Trump. Here on BBC One, it's | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Hello and welcome to the programme. The top stories... A woman has been | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
arrested after this fire in a high-rise block of flats. A top | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
tourist attraction or in poor taste? The replica Titanic causing waves. | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
And from 24 Celsius yesterday to a cooler 15 Celsius today. I will have | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
the rest of the week byes-mac weather for you shortly. -- I will | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
have the rest of the week byes-mac weather. | :00:36. | :00:36. | |
Police are questioning a woman on suspicion of arson after a fire | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
at a high-rise block of flats in Southampton yesterday evening. | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
The fire at Redbridge Towers completely destroyed | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
No-one was seriously injured and firefighters managed | :00:44. | :00:52. | |
to prevent the blaze spreading to neighbouring flats. | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
Fanned by the wind, the blaze on the 12th floor | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
of Redbridge Towers in Southampton took hold quickly, just before | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
When I came out, there was flames coming out | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
of the windows, paper coming out, glass smashed everywhere. | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
When the windows went out, it went boom. | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
The woman living in the flat where the fire broke out fled | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
50 firefighters were sent from Southampton, | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
A lot of people were panicking, trying to get out of the building | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
while our firefighters will try to get in. | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
They were looking to make an attack both internally, | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
using breathing apparatus, but also making an attack | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
externally, using our aerial ladder platform. | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
Fire crews managed to stop the blaze spreading | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
Other than smoke inhalation, there were no injuries. | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
This morning, a joint investigation team from fire | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
Tonight, a 28-year-old woman from Southampton has been charged | :01:47. | :01:59. | |
with "arson with intent to endanger life". | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
As the fire crews on the ground were acutely aware, it's just days | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
since the seventh anniversary of the blaze at another Southampton | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
tower block, Shirley Towers, which claimed the lives | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
of firefighters Alan Bannon and Jim Shears. | :02:10. | :02:10. | |
With the advent of the tragic incident at Shirley Towers, | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
this was always going to tug at some heartstrings in Southampton. | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
Also with the crews here, certainly the Southampton crews, | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
it really does strike a chord with them. | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
So they are always going to be nervous of an incident like this, | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
but they are well-trained, very, very professional, | :02:24. | :02:24. | |
That was Briony Leyland with that report. | :02:25. | :02:41. | |
Well, our reporter, James Ingham, is with me now. | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
James, thankfully, no-one was hurt yesterday, but the fire does bring | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
back memories of the fatal fire at Shirley Towers? | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
In fact, firefighters from the station that Jim Shears | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
and Alan Bannon worked at were called to this latest fire. | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
Some of those attending yesterday would have been | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
Alan Bannon's sister Lin has today posted on Twitter another call | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
for all tower blocks to be fitted with sprinklers. | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
That was suggested by the coroner at the men's inquests. | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
In Southampton, that will be done in some but not all towers. | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
The City Council is fitting them to three blocks which have layouts | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
like Shirley Towers, where flats extend | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
This complex layout made it harder to bring the Shirley | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Just over ?1 million was allocated for that work more than two years | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
ago and work was due to have begun in autumn 2015, but we've learnt | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
today that only preparatory has taken place with installation | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
One expert I've spoken to this evening says | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
Our hope would be that eventually, all the blocks would be sprinklered. | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
And I do know that other councils around the country, | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
such as in Tyneside, London, East Sussex, | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
Leeds and areas like that, are retrofitting sprinklers | :03:45. | :03:53. | |
into their high-rise blocks as and when they are able to do so. | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
The council says all its flats are designed to contain | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
a fire within its walls, adding, "It must be stressed that | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
all of the buildings are safe at the moment, | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
and this is about making them even safer." | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
It gets a lot of advice from Hampshire Fire | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
and Rescue Service, which told us, "We will continue to work closely | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
with Southampton City Council on the retrospective changes | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
to its buildings and give our full support to their significant | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
Yesterday's fireball again focus minds on this issue as the council | :04:22. | :04:35. | |
begins its improvement works. -- yesterday's fire will again focus | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
minds. A project to create a full-size | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
replica of the Titanic at a theme park in China has upset relatives | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
of those on board the doomed liner. Its Chinese backer was at a meeting | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
of the British Titanic Society in Southampton this weekend to try | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
and convince them otherwise. But as the ship remains a grave | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, some believe Titanic II | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
is in poor taste. Our transport correspondent | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
Paul Clifton reports. 105 years after it sank | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
during its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
work is well under way. The replica will be complete | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
in two years' time. It will become a static tourist | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
attraction on a river in south-west China, | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
700 miles from the sea. The Chinese have come | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
to the British Titanic Society's TRANSLATION: Yes, Chinese people | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
are very interested in this project and the Titanic, | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
especially in terms I am doing everything | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
in my power to make this thing look like the original, | :05:35. | :05:44. | |
so we are going to hopefully use Jean Legg's father was | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
an 18-year-old steward on board Those sights and sounds stayed | :05:48. | :05:56. | |
with him until the end of his days. I think if he knew this | :05:57. | :06:05. | |
was being replicated, I think he would be turning | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
in his grave. But a former captain of both QE2 | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
and Queen Mary 2 approves. What is special to me | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
about the Titanic replica is this will help to perpetuate the memory | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
of those who lost their lives. The Chinese are fascinated | :06:16. | :06:23. | |
with the Titanic story. Eight Chinese passengers | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
travelled in steerage. Their story will now become | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
a tourist attraction It's an illness which is | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
on the increase among students and teenagers, | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
yet medical experts say awareness A vaccine is freely available | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
to all school leavers but last year in the South, | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
fewer than a third took it up. One woman from Hampshire, | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
who was left severely disabled after contracting a rare strain | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
of meningitis, is now urging other Jemma developed meningitis halfway | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
through her law degree. She spent a year in hospital | :06:56. | :07:12. | |
and lost her independence. I was in an induced coma for three | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
weeks while the swelling went down. I was on a ventilator | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
for three and a half months. I pretty much had to learn | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
to do everything again, from moving my limbs, | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
speaking, talking, eating... All of those things you learn when | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
you are little, I had to relearn. In the three years since | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
she was diagnosed, a vaccine has There are five different strains | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
of bacterial meningitis, Meningitis B is the most | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
widely recognised - babies are immunised against it | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
from eight weeks. But meningitis W is the most | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
common among teenagers, In Dorset, Hampshire | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
and the Isle of Wight, cases of meningitis W increased | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
from 22 six years ago The total number of people who died | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
rose from five to at least But fewer than a third of young | :08:01. | :08:10. | |
people leaving school have been immunised, | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
despite the dangers. Parents are really scared | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
of meningitis, they know all about it and bring children | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
to hospital really quickly. But we know that young people, | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
teenagers and college students, They often come to hospital later | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
because they just think they have The best way to not get meningitis | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
is to be vaccinated. People say to me, well, | :08:28. | :08:36. | |
I am fit and healthy, I don't think it is going to happen | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
to me, but I was exactly the same. I was fit and healthy, | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
there was no reason why I got it, I was just the unlucky one that | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
did get it. That's all from the South Today | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
news team this evening. We're back tomorrow with bulletins | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
in BBC Breakfast and there's more Now for our regional | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
weather forecast. Yes, good deal of sunshine this week | :08:56. | :09:09. | |
and dry weather as well. The weather for the week ahead is mainly dry | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
this week, patchy rain at times but it will be quite light. During the | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
rest of the week, temperatures are average. Over the Easter weekend, | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
well, a little dry weather as well. Overnight tonight, under clearing | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
skies, temperatures in the countryside could fall as low as two | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
Mac Celsius. These are values in towns and cities. We could have | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
patchy frost first thing tomorrow. Chilly start, especially in the | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
countryside but lots of sunshine. Very much like today," was up | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
through the day. Particularly the further north and east you are. | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
Elsewhere, sunny conditions, temperatures reaching a high of 13 | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
or 14 Celsius, very similar to what today's temperatures were. There | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
will be a breeze tomorrow and it will continue tomorrow night. Patchy | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
cloud arrives in the early hours of Wednesday morning. That is all the | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
change from Wednesday, it will be Claudio during their course of the | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
day. Temperatures overnight at seven or eight. Quite a bit of cloud on | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
Wednesday, brighter spells here and there. It will be quite easy and we | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
could see a mix of mainly white rain with a weather front moving | :10:18. | :10:19. | |
southwards across the region. Temperatures on Wednesday upturn in | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
12 or 13. Thursday, more sunshine, mainly dry, winds are lighter. | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
Thursday is a mirror image to Friday because you will see a lot of dry | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
weather on Friday, brighter spells here and there, temperatures | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
reaching a high of 12-13 C. Later on Friday, mainly after dark, there | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
could be patchy rain. That will push in through Friday evening and | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
overnight into Saturday. Saturday, we could have the odd scattered | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
shower with a lot of dry weather as well. Over the bank holiday weekend, | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
Good Friday, mainly dry, showers on Saturday, dry on Easter Day and | :10:59. | :10:59. | |
Easter Monday. Good evening. Let's cut to the chase | :11:00. | :11:13. | |
the first big holiday weekend of the year is on the horizon and if you | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
consider last weekend as a taster for the summer, this weekend is not | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
looking too bad. It will be a bit cooler, temperatures this week and | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
closer to where they should be at this time of the year thanks to the | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
north-west breed and the reason for that, if we look at the jet stream, | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
coming across the Atlantic pushing from north to south -- north-west | :11:36. | :11:37. |
