Polly Evans. And I'm Rob Smith. Tonight's top stories.

:00:04.:00:07.

Unrepentant, the gang jailed for the killing of a Kent businessman.

:00:07.:00:11.

We promise you this was a general accident. No one had the intention

:00:11.:00:14.

of getting hurt. That's what happens when you come out to be a

:00:14.:00:17.

hero. 36 years prison for the gang members, Julian Gardner's family

:00:17.:00:21.

say it's the only justifiable result. Those now convicted feel

:00:21.:00:24.

they had the right to steal all Julian had worked for, but

:00:24.:00:30.

succeeded in only robbing him of his life.

:00:30.:00:33.

Uncertainty for 570 British Airways staff at Gatwick, facing redundancy

:00:33.:00:38.

or transfer to another company. We'll have the details live from

:00:38.:00:41.

the airport tonight. Also in tonight's programme.

:00:41.:00:44.

Making medical history, the little boy who was kept alive by an

:00:44.:00:48.

artificial heart for 251 days. The hi-tech cocoon that protects

:00:48.:00:51.

babies in the event of a car crash, the brain child of a Brighton

:00:51.:01:01.
:01:01.:01:01.

inventor. Princess Elizabeth joins the well known Fishermen's charity

:01:01.:01:04.

organisation the Winkle Club and is presented with a gold and pelt

:01:04.:01:06.

emblem. And the bizarre story of the Queen

:01:06.:01:09.

and her golden winkles, how Her Majesty became an honorary member

:01:09.:01:19.
:01:19.:01:22.

Good evening. The devastated family of a Sussex businessman who was

:01:22.:01:25.

crushed to death during a burglary have said they will never be

:01:25.:01:29.

released from their sorrow. Julian Gardner's elderly mother today said

:01:29.:01:34.

the guilty verdicts were the only justifiable result. The 52-year-old

:01:34.:01:37.

was killed after he interrupted the gang of professional burglars

:01:37.:01:42.

ransacking property at his farm in Robertsbridge in October 2010. Four

:01:42.:01:47.

of the men were today jailed for 36 years for manslaughter. Alex Beard

:01:47.:01:56.

was in Lewes Crown Court to hear the sentences being handed down.

:01:56.:02:00.

We promise you this was a General Accident. No one was meant to get

:02:00.:02:04.

hurt, that is what happens when you come to be a hairier. A repentant

:02:04.:02:09.

and still protesting their innocence. I am innocent, I have

:02:09.:02:13.

maintained it all the way through because I am innocent. Today seven

:02:13.:02:17.

then what I sentenced for their part in a botched robbery that left

:02:17.:02:22.

52 Old Julian Gardner dead. His 92 year-old mother was in court to

:02:22.:02:28.

hear their sentences passed. Julian was above all a decent man

:02:28.:02:31.

who worked hard all his life. Full before he had the opportunity to

:02:31.:02:38.

sit back and enjoy the results of a lifetime's work, those now

:02:38.:02:42.

convicted feel they had the right to steal all that Julian had worked

:02:42.:02:47.

for, but succeeded only in robbing him of his life. The judge told

:02:47.:02:49.

Brothers' Marcus and Terrance Bristow they had been the prime

:02:49.:02:56.

movers in the burglary in 2010. There were both jailed for 11 years

:02:56.:03:00.

for manslaughter, conspiracy to burgle and pervert the course of

:03:00.:03:04.

Jack this -- justice. Lee Delay and Paul Dunn were sentenced for seven

:03:04.:03:08.

years each. Christopher Leek and Oliver Payne were sentenced to 4.5

:03:08.:03:14.

years and three years respectively. Once the gang fled the scene, they

:03:14.:03:18.

made their way to Terrence Dunn's House, who was sentenced to 18

:03:18.:03:22.

months in prison to conspiracy to pervert the Court of Justice. Back

:03:22.:03:29.

in the village where Mr Gardner lived, there was mixed reaction.

:03:29.:03:34.

is awful. I think the whole system is crazy. It is completely

:03:34.:03:39.

inappropriate for the crime that has been achieved. -- committed.

:03:39.:03:44.

am pleased that it has just gone to a conclusion. He has gone forever,

:03:44.:03:49.

he was sit -- it is six. He was just a friendly man. During

:03:49.:03:53.

sentencing, the judge said a decent, honourable, hard-working family man

:03:53.:03:57.

was killed in a ghastly Manor, doing nothing more than trying to

:03:57.:04:07.

protect his property. The then sentence the seven men to prison.

:04:07.:04:10.

Julian Gardner's family say they will never be released on their

:04:10.:04:18.

sorrow. A three-year-old boy from

:04:18.:04:21.

Gillingham has made medical history after being kept alive for 251 days

:04:21.:04:25.

by an artificial heart, longer than any other child in the country. Joe

:04:25.:04:28.

Skerratt was attached to the machine the size of a small fridge

:04:28.:04:31.

for nine months, while a donor heart was found for him. He's now

:04:31.:04:36.

been allowed home to Medway, as Simon Jones reports.

:04:36.:04:43.

He is a picture of health now, but Joe Skerratt was born with her rare

:04:43.:04:48.

condition that left him with an abnormally large heart. The had to

:04:48.:04:52.

be hats to -- he had to be hooked up to an artificial heart for a

:04:52.:04:56.

record amount of time. He is an amazing chap, he is an amazing

:04:56.:05:01.

character, he never moaned or complained. He was really good and

:05:01.:05:05.

the Berlin heart became an extension of him and he'd got part

:05:05.:05:12.

of it. And without it? We would we would not have him. This is the

:05:12.:05:16.

device that helped him stay alive. Tubes are planted into the main

:05:16.:05:20.

pumping chambers of the heart, which drain blood from one section

:05:20.:05:26.

of the hot and pumps it back into the other. Joe needed to of the

:05:26.:05:33.

devices that beat once a second or 251 days. He did not let it affect

:05:33.:05:37.

him, he just got on with what he wanted to do. Eventually, a

:05:37.:05:42.

transplant was found and Joe knows he has now got a heart or what is

:05:42.:05:49.

just the right size. I have got a new heart now! I have got a little

:05:49.:05:56.

one. A little one? I used to have a big one, now it is a little one.

:05:56.:06:02.

Joe's parents are urging people next time they are at the doctors

:06:02.:06:07.

or online to sign up to the organ Donor Register. There ours

:06:07.:06:11.

currently 7579 people waiting for transplants. To any family that has

:06:11.:06:16.

donated organs, it is the most wonderful thing you can possibly

:06:16.:06:23.

have done, to give an -- give another child a chance. A chance

:06:23.:06:33.
:06:33.:06:33.

Joe is grasping? How is your new heart? New heart is great!

:06:33.:06:37.

Simon joins us from the Medway towns now. What did the doctors say

:06:37.:06:41.

about how he is progressing? Based say they are really delighted with

:06:41.:06:45.

the progress he is making. They have got to know him very well

:06:45.:06:50.

because he spent almost 200 days in hospital in his short life. His

:06:50.:06:53.

consultant says he was very lucky to get a heart transplant, there is

:06:53.:06:58.

a real shortage of organ donors, particularly for children. Many die

:06:58.:07:02.

while they are still on the waiting list. His parents told me that when

:07:02.:07:09.

he got home, he used to beat -- he used to have a grey complexion, but

:07:09.:07:13.

now he is much more rosy. Now he feels a lot warmer as well. When he

:07:13.:07:18.

got Frome -- home, the first thing he wanted was Peter, so I think the

:07:18.:07:25.

recovery is going well! -- pizza. The crushing blow for the Kent

:07:25.:07:35.
:07:35.:07:37.

Whineray, with 1300 bottles of red wine the EU says it cannot sell.

:07:37.:07:40.

A Sussex company has developed a pioneering car seat that cocoons a

:07:40.:07:43.

baby in a protective shell if it's involved in an accident. The

:07:43.:07:46.

Carkoon, as it's known, also protects against fire and flying

:07:46.:07:48.

debris and could be available next year. Its creator, Julian Preston

:07:48.:07:51.

Powers from Brighton, also came up with a motorcycle helmet that cools

:07:51.:07:55.

on impact, acting as an icepack to reduce swelling to the brain after

:07:55.:07:58.

a crash. Ellie Price has been finding out more about his latest

:07:58.:08:08.
:08:08.:08:09.

invention. Last year, there were more than

:08:09.:08:13.

5600 crashes on the roads of Kent and East Sussex. Nearly 900 people

:08:14.:08:18.

were killed or seriously injured. Even wearing a seatbelt, they are

:08:18.:08:20.

chilling as figures for any driver, especially those with young

:08:20.:08:26.

children. Airbag technology has protected adult in car crashes for

:08:26.:08:29.

a long time, but has not afforded children any form of protection

:08:29.:08:34.

whatsoever. Even if a young child is strapped into a forward-facing

:08:34.:08:38.

car crash -- car seat, it is still at risk of serious injuries come as

:08:38.:08:43.

well as being hit by object within the car. In all car accidents,

:08:43.:08:51.

anything in the car moves at the same speed as the car when it is

:08:51.:08:54.

impacted. So an umbrella or bottle of water can come forward and kill

:08:54.:08:58.

a child. We have created a device which completely in sconces the

:08:58.:09:04.

child in a fireproof bubble on impact, which prevents objects on

:09:04.:09:11.

impact and the child's head or body. Did apply -- the device a ploys --

:09:11.:09:20.

deploys in less than a 10th of a second on impact. The seat is also

:09:20.:09:23.

fitted with a system that alerts the emergency services if the

:09:23.:09:26.

shield has been deployed. And automatically gives them the

:09:26.:09:33.

location of where it happens. But at �500, it is not cheap. You will

:09:33.:09:40.

already spend around �200 on a basic seat. �150 for the first

:09:40.:09:47.

stage seat. Hello! No, I would definitely pay that money. Quite

:09:47.:09:51.

painful in the Times at the moment, so probably not at this stage.

:09:51.:09:56.

were recently involved, my wife and I, in a crash, and we believe the

:09:56.:10:01.

airbag saved our lives. If I could afford it, I would invest in one.

:10:01.:10:05.

They will have to wait. The seat will not be on the market until

:10:05.:10:12.

next year. The invention was inspired by the

:10:12.:10:16.

local community there in Brighton? That's right, the inventor Julian

:10:16.:10:20.

Preston Powers told me the idea came from a Sussex fire fighter who

:10:20.:10:24.

approached him and asked him to develop a car seat that could be

:10:24.:10:27.

released quickly from a car in the event of a crash. The idea grew

:10:28.:10:32.

from there. It has gone global. While we were there, Julian recede

:10:32.:10:37.

into the requests from around the world. As we were leaving, --

:10:37.:10:41.

received interview requests. As we were leading, an Australian crew

:10:41.:10:45.

arrived to film them. Hundreds of British Airways workers

:10:45.:10:48.

at Gatwick Airport are to lose their jobs or be transferred to

:10:48.:10:51.

another company under cost-saving plans announced today. 400 staff,

:10:51.:10:54.

including baggage handlers, will see their jobs contracted to an

:10:54.:10:57.

outside company. 170 customer service staff and management

:10:57.:11:06.

support workers are likely to lose their jobs. British Airways says it

:11:06.:11:10.

is trying to become more competitive. The Unite union is

:11:10.:11:14.

calling for no compulsory redundancies, we hope to bring you

:11:14.:11:23.

more on this later in the pro Brett Byrd programme.

:11:23.:11:27.

A man from Kent who's wanted in Portugal for a crime he was cleared

:11:27.:11:30.

of 17 years ago has been told his retrial will take place later this

:11:30.:11:33.

month. Graham Mitchell, who's 49 and from Canterbury, was acquitted

:11:33.:11:36.

in 1995, along with another Briton, of attempting to murder a German

:11:36.:11:38.

tourist in the Algarve. The decision was overturned a year

:11:38.:11:41.

later. The re-trial is set for April 23rd in Portugal and could

:11:41.:11:44.

take place without Mr Mitchell being present.

:11:44.:11:47.

Fans may be shut out of Gillingham FCs game against Swindon Town later

:11:47.:11:50.

this month because of a dispute between the club and Kent Police.

:11:50.:11:53.

Police say the club must pay for officers needed inside the stadium

:11:53.:11:56.

but so far Gillingham have refused to agree the level of security

:11:56.:12:00.

needed. In the meantime the council has taken the decision to ban fans

:12:00.:12:09.

on safety grounds. The historically low interest rates

:12:09.:12:12.

have been great for people with loans and mortgages, but a real

:12:12.:12:14.

headache for those relying on interest from savings to stay

:12:14.:12:17.

afloat. One way some people are trying to improve matters is by

:12:17.:12:20.

pooling their cash with others in an investment club. Each member

:12:20.:12:24.

pays a monthly fee of around �25 and the group then decides how to

:12:24.:12:26.

invest the funds in stocks and shares. There are already an

:12:26.:12:29.

estimated 12,000 clubs in the UK with around 100,000 people members

:12:29.:12:33.

chipping in. And for 60% of them, its their first time dabbling in

:12:33.:12:36.

the stock market. For tonight's special report, our business

:12:36.:12:39.

correspondent Mark Norman has been to see how it works with a club in

:12:39.:12:49.
:12:49.:12:51.

Forest Row in East Sussex. All those in favour of buying

:12:51.:12:57.

�2,000 worth of Bovis? 3, 4, 5, that is a majority. It is 8pm in

:12:57.:13:01.

the evening, we are in a small room next to the bar in a local hotel.

:13:01.:13:04.

The members of this club are reviewing their investment

:13:04.:13:11.

decisions. We bought Domino Printing, and we sold part of Royal

:13:11.:13:16.

Dutch Shell, Rolls-Royce, Wrexham and this was to lock in profits

:13:16.:13:21.

that we had made if we remember. There are some rules, and limit of

:13:21.:13:28.

20 members, accounting systems, and dealing through a broker. We deal

:13:28.:13:31.

through a firm of stockbrokers. Everyone contributes as much as

:13:32.:13:38.

they can, or would like to. The point is to try and make a bit of

:13:38.:13:43.

money, and enjoy ourselves in the process. Surely it would be better

:13:43.:13:47.

to have shares than cash? This group has been investing for some

:13:47.:13:52.

years, members come and go. Some are amateurs, some experienced and

:13:52.:13:56.

some have learned how to use -- learned how to use the computer

:13:56.:14:00.

software. Things like I said, life insurance, they have been a mystery

:14:00.:14:07.

to me. This was a way of trying to find out how it worked. Since the

:14:07.:14:11.

age of 15, I have been interested in the stock market. It was my

:14:12.:14:15.

business and hobby. I am fascinated the charts and figures and things

:14:15.:14:22.

like that. So that is how I do it. Even the experts become members,

:14:22.:14:26.

but advise a little caution. have got to be careful with this,

:14:26.:14:29.

but stocks and shares are only one part of your investments overall.

:14:29.:14:33.

It is not the solution, but it is a method of education and learning

:14:33.:14:37.

about it. With more than 100,000 members, these clubs offer some

:14:37.:14:41.

hope to people who have to live off their savings in times when

:14:41.:14:45.

interest rates are at record lows. Is that enough money to spend four

:14:45.:14:54.

one-day? This is our top story tonight. The

:14:54.:14:57.

family of a Sussex businessman crushed to death during a burglary

:14:57.:14:59.

say they will never be released from their sorrow. Julian Gardner

:14:59.:15:02.

was killed after he tried to stop the gang of professional burglars

:15:02.:15:05.

ransacking property at his farm in Robertsbridge in October 2010. Four

:15:05.:15:09.

of the men were today jailed for a total of 36 years for his

:15:09.:15:11.

manslaughter. Also in tonight's programme. Five

:15:11.:15:14.

games to save the season, Steve Coppell sets out his stall as he

:15:14.:15:17.

takes on the big job at Crawley Town.

:15:17.:15:20.

And the Queen's golden winkles, how Her Majesty has been honoured by

:15:20.:15:30.
:15:30.:15:37.

A year ago, A Kentish wine producer imported two tonnes of grapes from

:15:37.:15:40.

Argentina to make top quality red wine. Now the 1,300 bottles of red

:15:40.:15:43.

are finally ready, and Chapel Down Winery in Tenterden are having to

:15:43.:15:48.

give them away. The wine has been made using Argentinian Grapes to

:15:48.:15:51.

celebrate World Malbec Day. But because the Malbec grapes have been

:15:51.:15:53.

flown in from South America, European legislation means they

:15:54.:15:57.

aren't allowed to sell it. Our environment correspondent Yvette

:15:57.:16:07.
:16:07.:16:08.

Austin has our story update. The finished product. A rich and

:16:08.:16:13.

fruity English red, the first of its kind. 12 months ago, two tons

:16:14.:16:19.

of Malbec grapes arrived at the Chapel Down Winery from Argentina.

:16:19.:16:22.

It was an experiment. Just to make something that no one has ever made

:16:22.:16:27.

before. It is a great opportunity, being able to meet the winemakers

:16:27.:16:31.

and learn the techniques and practise it myself was too old --

:16:31.:16:41.

was a real pleasure. Malbec grapes can only really dry -- broke in

:16:41.:16:49.

France and Argentina, and these techniques were used in England. It

:16:49.:16:56.

has made 1300 bottles, but it cannot be called a wine, and cannot

:16:56.:17:03.

be sold. Bath is one of the words are reduced to -- daft is one of

:17:03.:17:11.

the words are reduced to describe it, Malbec wine is not allowed to

:17:11.:17:18.

be called a wind, it is eight alcoholic beverage. We cannot call

:17:18.:17:21.

it Malbec because we are not allowed to bring it into the

:17:21.:17:26.

country technically. It is because the grapes have come from outside

:17:26.:17:30.

the EU that European law states that the Grid cannot officially be

:17:30.:17:37.

a wine, and it is illegal to sell it. So the bottle's worth about �15

:17:37.:17:47.
:17:47.:17:50.

Five games to save the season, the words today of Crawley town's new

:17:50.:17:52.

Director of Football Steve Coppell. The former England International

:17:52.:17:54.

and Manchester United player has been brought in following the

:17:54.:17:58.

departure of manager Steve Evans. The caretaker manager Craig

:17:58.:18:01.

Brewster remains in charge of the team and Crawley fans have been

:18:01.:18:04.

left wondering if the Red Devils win that third automatic promotion

:18:04.:18:13.

place. Ian Palmer reports. He played at the highest level and

:18:13.:18:17.

to sports fans, needs no introduction, so it comes as a

:18:17.:18:20.

surprise to hear Steve Coppell approached League Two Crawley Town,

:18:20.:18:25.

not the other way round. I do not leave -- live far away, I know the

:18:25.:18:29.

club and the people. I do not really know the team, and they did

:18:29.:18:34.

not know Crayke, but I thought in the circumstances, I could be of

:18:34.:18:38.

some assistance. That is why I called, and that is why ultimately

:18:38.:18:44.

I have ended up here. Steve Evans used his bounce and unique style of

:18:44.:18:48.

football management in Crawley for five years, now he is gone and with

:18:48.:18:51.

the club's 4th in the table the priority is promotion. Any team

:18:51.:18:55.

when the new manager comes in, it is known that they at their game

:18:55.:18:58.

and perform better. They need to impress the new people.

:18:58.:19:03.

In the past, Steve Coppell has managed Crystal Palace and Brighton.

:19:03.:19:07.

He stopped playing at 28 following injury. He says that is why he

:19:07.:19:11.

can't get the game out of his system. I wanted that itch to be

:19:11.:19:15.

scratched, and here I am, 30 years later, still looking to scratch it.

:19:15.:19:19.

One I started playing, the goalkeeper could pick it up and

:19:19.:19:23.

have a walk around his box and ticket whenever he wanted to. The

:19:23.:19:29.

physical demands on the players are demand -- enormous, television has

:19:29.:19:36.

become a massive factor, the media. In years gone by, it was just much

:19:36.:19:39.

of the day and that is it, now it is wall to wall. Crawley hosts

:19:39.:19:45.

Wimbledon on Saturday. The caretaker manager Craig Brewster

:19:45.:19:49.

remains in charge. Will there be a Steve Coppell effect? We will find

:19:49.:19:53.

out in five games. Here are a couple of facts to store

:19:53.:19:57.

away for the pub quiz. Her Majesty The Queen is the only female member
