asked month, nearby Hastings failed to win millions in investment from | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
the government. Earlier this year, the Saga group opened a centre in | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
the town with the creation of 800 jobs. Will today's announcement | :01:05. | :01:12. | |
boost the fortunes of Bexhill? is fantastic news for local jobs. | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
There is not much employment here. It is positive. Probably not enough | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
to make a difference. Everybody needs jobs, especially young people | :01:22. | :01:29. | |
like me. A lot of people work there. It might low unemployment here. | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
to an increase in customers, there will be an extra 140 chances to | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
find a job here in the new year. A man has been charged with the | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
attempted abduction of a 12-year- old girl in St Leonards. It is | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
after the girl was approached and allegedly grabbed by a man in a car | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
on Eversfield Place yesterday morning. 45-year-old Raymond Paul | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
Slack, of St Leonards, has been bailed to appear at Lewes Crown | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
Court in April. Just a quarter of 999 calls | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
received by Kent Police in the last year were genuine emergencies. | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
Figures released under the Freedom of Information Act show the force | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
received more than 260,000 emergency calls in the period 2010 | :02:05. | :02:14. | |
to 2011. But only 67,000 required an immediate response. The Home | :02:14. | :02:17. | |

number 101. Star For Gillingham Football Club | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
have expressed relief that police have dropped an investigation into | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
alleged racist abuse by the manager towards Crawley Town manager Steve | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
Evans. It was said to have taken place after the teams met on Boxing | :02:41. | :02:50. | |
Day. Five bookings and two sending as | :02:50. | :02:58. | |
off. It was a robust if not a very festive clash. But what followed | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
was a claim of a racially aggravated comment, which could | :03:02. | :03:10. | |
spark more unwelcome debate. In a statement today, Gillingham said | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
they were aware of the unfounded allegation made by a member of | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
staff at Crawley Town football club, but they were prepared to defend | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
the club and manager Andy Hessenthaler. They said they were | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
disappointed that the allegation has been made and put in the public | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
domain. Over the past few months, allegations of racism in football | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
have dominated the back pages and now the front pages. Last month, | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
the Fifa President said that racism should be settled with a handshake | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
after the game. The England captain John Terry is facing a racially | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
aggravated public order charges. And another player was banned for | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
eight matches after an incident. Tonight, Sussex Police said the | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
original complainant did not want to take matters further and the | :04:05. | :04:14. | |
case has been dropped. An ancient yew tree has amazed | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
experts at Wakehurst Place in Sussex. Nobody had paid much | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
attention to the tree, but experts say it dates to 1391 and the | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
discovery has rewritten the garden's history. | :04:31. | :04:40. | |
A symbol of immortality and rebirth. The yew tree's colour in winter | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
gives hope at a time that the landscape is brown. The collection | :04:45. | :04:53. | |
of trees here is renowned, but the yew trees have a new importance. | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
This one dates back to 1620 and is a clue to what lies a few yards | :04:57. | :05:05. | |
away, the jewel in the ground. landscape architect said those | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
trees are in a straight line. I have not notice. The challenge is | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
how to find out how old they are. There is a technique, the age of | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
trees, and it looks at the annual rings and how far apart they are. | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
This one goes back to 1391. discovery of such an old tree has | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
effectively rewritten the history of Wakehurst Place. It's was a | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
shock and revelation. We are in a flat part of the garden. When we | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
did archaeology, I can tell you we are six feet above the normal soil | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
level. I imagined that was done by manual labour in Elizabethan times, | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
to know it was 200 years before his startling. It seems the way curse | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
family built themselves a landscape gardener earlier than thought -- | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
the family resident at Wakehurst Place. I found in old archive | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
photographs in the 1950s, an old tree, and I will stop you on this | :06:14. | :06:22. | |
lot. It is just about here. -- this spot. We thought the garden should | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
be celebrated for the plant collectors in the 19th century. We | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
now think this is a rare example of a garden 600 years earlier. It is | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
just unlocking the key to the past. More history is yet to come. | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
More history is yet to come. We can check the weather. | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
It has been cloudy and mild. The rain will clear tonight. It will be | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
back tomorrow. We are holding on to the winds, but it is mild for the | :06:56. | :07:03. | |
time of year. We had a cold front spreading eastwards. You can see | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
the isobars. The winds have been breezy for everybody. The | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
temperatures are still in double figures. They are well above | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
seasonal averages. Clear skies, but despite the temperature staying | :07:19. | :07:28. | |
mild, initially, a dry start, but it will not stage dry for long. We | :07:28. | :07:36. | |
are holding on to the winds. Up to 25 miles per hour. Temperatures | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
might be one degree down on today. And the rain will stay in to | :07:42. | :07:46. |
