Welcome to South East Today, I'm Bryony MacKenzie. And I'm Rob Smith. | :00:05. | :00:12. | |
Tonight's top stories. She thought she was going to die — a victim of | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
domestic violence urges others to speak out before it's too late. I | :00:15. | :00:24. | |
just thought that he was doing all he could to hurt me and I thought he | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
was going to kill me. Not safe for staff or patients — evidence from | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
the manager at a Sussex care home where there were 19 unexplained | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
deaths. We've got the latest from the inquest in Horsham. | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
Also in tonight's programme: The fight to control Margate's historic | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
Dreamland theme park goes to the Court of Appeal. | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
Filling in the gaps — the council workers who painted short yellow | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
lines between parked cars. Still got the spikes — but using | :00:49. | :00:57. | |
them on snow. The discus thrower who could now have a shot at the winter | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
Olympics. Good evening. A woman who was | :00:59. | :01:11. | |
viciously attacked by her boyfriend during a night out, dragged by the | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
hair and repeatedly punched says she was convinced she was going to die. | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
As her attacker begins a six year jail sentence, Litisha Henry from | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
Chatham has spoken out to urge other victims of domestic abuse not to | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
suffer in silence. But tonight, the Kent Police and Crime Commissioner | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
Ann Barnes has admitted it's taking too long to get offenders to court. | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
You may find some of the images in Simon Jones' report distressing. | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
A couple of hours after this picture was taken, Franklin White left | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
Letisha Henry looking like this. I don't remember how many times he | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
punched me but I remember repeatedly being punched. I fell to the ground | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
twice. He dragged me along by my hair and I physically couldn't get | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
up. I was in pain all over. I just thought he was doing all he could to | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
hurt me and I thought it was going to kill me. It was after leaving | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
this club that Franklin White set upon her wrongly accusing her of | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
seeing someone else. She was initially fearful of telling the | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
police the truth about what he had done until officers reassured her. | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
There are high profile campaigns to get victims to come forward but | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
Kent's police commissioner says it could take months for cases to come | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
to court. They have taken a lot of courage to do this, so let's try and | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
fast—track them through the criminal justice system. There will always be | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
delays in the court process. We have to manage that process as best as we | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
can. We have a special worker looking at domestic violence to | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
ensure they safe. We keep our communication with the victim all | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
the way through to the end and beyond. Letisha Henry is in no doubt | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
about what she feels her attacker. Hopeful, the pain that he has caused | :03:18. | :03:26. | |
me and my family. Hatred is, I hate him. Do you feel people should speak | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
out? Definitely. Speak out and the police will help you. Her message is | :03:34. | :03:44. | |
victims should not feel alone. The manager of a Sussex care home where | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
there were a string of unexplained deaths says elderly residents were | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
not safe because there insufficient staff. An inquest is | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
investigating 19 deaths at the Orchid View care home in Copthorne, | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
near Crawley. This afternoon, former manager Meera | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
Reed, from Tunbridge Wells, denied tampering with evidence or giving an | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
order that documents should be shredded. Our Home Affairs | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
Correspondent Colin Campbell joins us from Horsham, where the inquest | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
is taking place. Was Meera Reed an experienced manager Colin? Meera | :04:10. | :04:20. | |
Reed have been a qualified nurse but had never been in charge of a care | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
home for the elderly until she was made a manager of Orchid View in | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
Copthorne in Crawley. He was a brand—new care home and she was | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
given the job of getting it up and running but also employing other | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
staff. During her evidence today culture claimed she was given very | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
little guidance and culture claimed she was given very | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
training from senior managers. Meera Reed said she had no training in | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
setting up a care home for the elderly but was put in charge of | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
Orchid View in 2009. She says she lacks the support from her | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
employers. She was asked by the coroner if the ratio of staff to | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
residence Southern Cross had in his budget was too low? | :05:05. | :05:18. | |
The inquest is examining the unexplained deaths of 19 residence | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
at home. Jean halfpenny's family believe she was —— Edi because she | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
was given the wrong medicine whilst staying there. They say that she | :05:30. | :05:42. | |
ordered the shredding of documents belonging to Jean Halfpenny after | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
she died. She was asked if hand written medical notes were written | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
to cover up an overdose given to her. They placed their mother into a | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
care home because they thought that was the best place for her and she | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
would be care for —— cared for properly. As it happens, it seems | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
she wasn't cared for at the standard they were expecting. Meera Reed said | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
she was unable to investigate the death because she was too busy. | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
Meera Reed says the company forbid her from hiring staff at times of | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
staff shortages. She had to beg people to come to work at the care | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
home. The inquest is expected to last two to three weeks and will | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
resume on Friday. last two to three weeks and will | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
In a moment the former Bishop of Rochester appeals for Pakistan to do | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
more to protect Christians after 80 die in a terrorist bombing. | :06:39. | :06:47. | |
The fight to control Margate's historic Dreamland theme park has | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
been taken to the Court of Appeal today. The derelict site has been | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
awarded to Thanet District Council under a compulsory purchase order | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
scheme, but the previous landowners want that decision to be reversed. | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
They say the council will not be able to afford to re—open the site | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
as a heritage park, filled with vintage attractions. | :07:08. | :07:18. | |
This is Dreamland today. The looters have been hard at work but the only | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
other people making money out of the place seem to be the lawyers. The | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
battle is over who could make the best of it. Developers with plans | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
for rides and housing or the council which plans inherited theme park. | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
Dreamland closed ten years ago and was sold two years later. In 2008, | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
the listed scenic Railway was a target of an arsonist —— an arson | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
attack. Now the council has taken it over. Now all parties are back at | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
the Court of Appeal to see if that order should stand. It will be worth | :07:53. | :08:01. | |
it. It is a gaping hole in the middle of Margate seafront. It has | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
been that way for a decade now and something needs to be done. It has | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
been a long haul but it is worth it. The Dreamland trust would look at | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
the scheme. They say the plans don't add up and the money is just not | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
there. Same—macro the local authority is spending in a way they | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
don't understand and we don't think their plans are safe financially. | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
The key is at the end of the day, market has to be regenerated and | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
they need the schemes that can ensure. For more than 80 years, | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
Dreamland was at the part of Margate, the tourist destination. | :08:38. | :08:45. | |
The old pleasure park does need a regenerating. The council says the | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
only way to kick—start that work is taking it from the developers by | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
force. We have lost patience with them. The council cross—party has | :08:55. | :09:04. | |
taken the decision that we needed to take control of the situation and | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
that is what we have done. Whatever side wins the fight, it is hoped | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
Margate won't lose out. Sara joins us live from the Court of Appeal. | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
What happens if the previous owners win their case? | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
The site has been handed over to the council and handed over to the | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
Dreamland trust which will implement those plans. They say they have a | :09:28. | :09:38. | |
better chance of succeeding. If another company loses this bed, they | :09:38. | :09:49. | |
could get... The judges today have preserved their judgement so we | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
won't get the decision for several weeks to come. | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
Detectives investigating the discovery of one of Britain's | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
largest cannabis factories have released an image of a man they want | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
to question. 6,000 plants, with a street value of up to £4 million | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
were found last month inside a former county council building in | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
Dartford. Kent Police want to speak to a 37—year—old Italian known as | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
Stefan Nardi who may also use other names. | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
The Green MP for Brighton Pavilion has been charged with breaching a | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
police order and obstructing the highway during anti—fracking | :10:21. | :10:22. | |
demonstrations. Caroline Lucas arrested last month in the West | :10:22. | :10:30. | |
Sussex village of Balcombe. She'll appear before magistrates in | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
October. The national leader of the Fire | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
Brigades Union joined striking firefighters on a picket line in | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
Brighton this afternoon, during a walk—out over pensions. Firefighters | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
in Kent, Sussex and Surrey took part in industrial action from midday | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
until 4pm, claiming the Government's planned changes will put safety at | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
risk. But some MPs say it's the unions who are leaving the public in | :10:50. | :10:59. | |
danger. It is an emergency service and people's lives may depend on it. | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
It is unreasonable that there should be other back—up to replace them if | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
they decide to read —— withdraw their labour. They have had a | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
reasonable deal from this government. Piers Hopkirk joins us | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
live in Brighton. At 4pm this afternoon, the pickets | :11:14. | :11:25. | |
packed up, the firefighters returned to their stations here and across | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
Kent and Sussex and they returned to work but not so in Surrey. Their | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
firefighters were told not to come back to work until tomorrow and they | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
were docked a day's jefe going on strike. Their roles were taken over | :11:39. | :11:47. | |
by private contractors. —— they were docked a day's pay. Do you believe | :11:47. | :11:54. | |
you have public support today given that you weren't answering their | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
cause? Yes, we do. People were hooting their horns and people | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
wanted to talk and take leaflets and wanted to sign petitions. We had | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
good public support. Many people would say that you are being offered | :12:09. | :12:16. | |
a very generous pension deal, amongst the best in the public | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
sector. Are you being greedy given the state of public finances? That | :12:18. | :12:25. | |
is an unfair claim by government. Most of the firefighters are on the | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
skin that closed in 2006. The government knew the costs would | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
escalate scheme but six years later they made another grab it. They have | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
introduced a new scheme the 20 15th that is totally unworkable. They | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
have got their figures wrong and the retirement age wrong. They need to | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
go back to the drawing board and get back to talking to us. You called | :12:46. | :12:57. | |
this a shot across the bells have you the right to make a full | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
dispute? We have full dispute. The firefighters walked out and are | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
prepared to fight for their pension scheme. | :13:05. | :13:12. | |
As you see there, the search goes on for a resolution. The entrepreneur | :13:12. | :13:23. | |
Lord Sugar has lost his fight to recover legal costs from a former | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
winner of his hit TV show, the Apprentice. Stella English from | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
Whitstable took the businessman to an industrial tribunal | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
Some of the lines long. The local council says | :13:30. | :14:07. | |
contractors will return within a fortnight to fill in the gaps. | :14:07. | :14:14. | |
Puzzled and perplexed by the yellow lines that appeared in the middle of | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
the night. Residents wondered why the council would paint lines that | :14:19. | :14:26. | |
are just 52 inches long. They were here at night. There were cars | :14:26. | :14:33. | |
parked in the place. They have gone over drains which is ludicrous. I | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
don't know what else to say. I have never seen anything by —— so | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
shocking. How do they compare with others. Two years ago in Brighton, | :14:44. | :14:51. | |
lines measuring 36 inches were painted. They were the smallest | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
double yellow lines measuring 31 inches. The shortage —— the shorters | :14:56. | :15:04. | |
are from nine years ago. No one was available for comment today but they | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
did say they carried out this work on behalf of Kent county council. | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
They said they are unable to request motorists not to park in an area | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
when work is due to stop parents picking up their children whether | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
yellow lines have been painted things working around vehicles is a | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
stupid policy. It is pathetic. They could have done it with a single | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
line. Horrendous. They should put signs up to stop people from parking | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
there. It is ridiculous. Either do the whole lot or none. Swale Borough | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
Council says it will be back within two weeks to finish the job which | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
begs the questions from residents, wouldn't it have been easier and | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
cheaper to do the job properly in the first place. ——? | :15:52. | :16:00. | |
This is our top story tonight: A woman who was viciously attacked by | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
her boyfriend during a night out says she was convinced she was going | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
to die. As her attacker begins a six—year jail sentence, Litisha | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
Henry from Chatham has spoken out to urge other victims of domestic abuse | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
not to suffer in silence. Also in tonight's programme: | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
Painstaking restoration — one of the biggest collection of Victorian | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
glasshouses in the country gets a make over in Kent. | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
A change of discipline, a change of season and a change of Olympics. The | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
discus thrower now looking for a medal in bobsleigh. | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
If you have a story you think we should be covering on South East | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
Today, we'd like to hear from you. The former Bishop of Rochester, Dr | :16:37. | :16:56. | |
Michael Nazir—Ali, has urged the Pakistani government to do more to | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
protect the country's Christian minority. It follows a terrorist | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
attack at a church there on Sunday that killed at least 80 worshippers. | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
Tonight, Christians at an East Sussex charity with close ties to | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
the church in Peshawar say their thoughts and prayers are with the | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
victims and their families. Ian Palmer has tonight's Special Report. | :17:16. | :17:26. | |
Murdered for being a Christian in Pakistan. Last Sunday to suicide | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
bombers detonated their devices outside the Anglican Church in | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
Peshawwar leaving pounds without children, children without parents | :17:35. | :17:46. | |
and entire families wiped out. This man works for the Christian charity | :17:46. | :17:54. | |
here. Charity workers say the 60—year—old is very lucky to have | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
escaped with his life. He said he heard a blast and he was putting on | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
his shirt. The blast knocked him off as feat. There were two blasts and | :18:04. | :18:12. | |
he said when he came out, I quote, he said he couldn't speak. He said | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
there were bodies everywhere, women, children, body parts, half of my | :18:17. | :18:24. | |
congregation is gone. The atrocity in Pakistan is the latest bloody | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
attack against Christians in recent times. Christians in Syria had to | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
take refuge from mortar attacks a few weeks ago. Christians in Egypt | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
were also targeted by extremists. In Nigeria, declaring your Christian | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
faith can mysteriously damage your welfare. The former Bishop of | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
Rochester, Dr Michael Nazir—Ali says Christians and other minorities | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
should be protected like Muslims were in the Balkans in the 1990s. | :18:51. | :18:59. | |
The question now is will there be some international protection for | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
Christian and other minorities in the Middle East? I think there is a | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
very strong case for this now. It is great that they were protected in | :19:06. | :19:14. | |
the north of Iraq, but who is going to protect the Christians? Today the | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
Archbishop of Canterbury has also added his voice. He says those | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
killed in the blast in Pakistan should be treated as martyrs. The | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
rhetoric, a reminder to those expressing one's faith can carve at | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
a heavy price. —— can come at a heavy price. | :19:33. | :19:41. | |
If you think of a commercial greenhouse these days, then gigantic | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
industrial sheds spring to mind, all science and technology, where plants | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
are drip fed nutrients and the last thing you need is a spade. But there | :19:49. | :19:58. | |
is a place in Kent keeping an older tradition alive — that of the | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
Victorian Glasshouse — where they do grow plants in actual soil. Claudia | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
Sermbezis has been to the Walled Nursery at Hawkhurst, where they're | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
working hard to keep the old buildings in use. | :20:09. | :20:21. | |
These 13 glasshouses once grew exotic fruits. Melons, peaches, | :20:21. | :20:34. | |
grapes, fruits the Victorian owners could boast about. The lady of the | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
house would come into the Coronation house. This is where they grew cut | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
flowers for the house. It was quite the norm for the Lady of the house | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
to come in and tell them she was wearing a rose coloured dress. The | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
woman would have to find flowers to match the lady's dress. Charles | :20:50. | :20:58. | |
Guenther bought the estate in 1804 and he had a keen eye on food and | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
created one of the best—known brands. —— 1904. Charles Guenther | :21:02. | :21:18. | |
employed nine men. Surplus food and flowers went to the local hospital. | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
Today this is the most important glasshouse. This starts planned —— | :21:22. | :21:29. | |
start off here from seeds or plant. It gives you an insight into | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
culture and the importance of horticulture for the Victorians and | :21:32. | :21:40. | |
into the present day. They are unique. If we don't save these, no | :21:40. | :21:47. | |
one else is going to. Free and open to the public, for the glasshouses | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
to survive, they need to earn their keep. They are very fragile and you | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
can't ignore them. You constantly need to be prior —— repairing them. | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
It's glasshouse earns their keeper because we felt them up with plants | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
which we grow here and the revenue from that goes back into the | :22:05. | :22:13. | |
glasshouses. The Davis family are working hard for them to be | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
remembered and admired, not to be left to rot. | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
18 months ago Tonbridge athlete Dave Coleman was dreaming of a place at | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
the London Olympics throwing the discus. | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
The 27—year—old narrowly missed out but in a dramatic twist of fortune, | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
he's now in with a great chance of making the Bobsleigh team for the | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
Winter Olympics in Russia. Lifting huge weights is nothing new | :22:32. | :22:44. | |
for Dave Coleman. He spent most of the last decade building up his | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
strength to further discuss. Now his aim is to propel a sled down a | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
slope. He jumped at the opportunity to give the bobsleigh ago. I am | :22:53. | :22:59. | |
terrified. There is nothing you can do or say or anything that will | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
prepare you for the GeForce, the speed, the timings, breathing, all | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
sorts. It is quite an addictive thing. You want to do more and more | :23:09. | :23:17. | |
and go quicker. This time last year, he was teaching at a school and now | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
he will try to impress in the upcoming World Cup season. | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
Same—macro we always ask how he is getting on. You always think it is | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
somebody else but we have seen them on TV and it is somebody that we | :23:30. | :23:39. | |
know. Dave isn't the only athlete making a successful conversion to | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
the bobsleigh. Craig Pickering, the crawly sprinter, has always made | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
this —— has also made the switch. —— P Crawley sprinter. It is a weird | :23:49. | :24:01. | |
situation to be in. He is a rival competing for the same spot. He —— | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
it is a mentally tough thing to be doing. A few more sessions here and | :24:06. | :24:16. | |
then it is off to the snow and ice. He is a strong lad. | :24:16. | :24:24. | |
Now for a look at the weather. We have some heavy rain on the way. | :24:25. | :24:42. | |
Today, there was a little bit of brightness and the temperatures are | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
still above average for this time of the year. We have these | :24:45. | :24:54. | |
southeasterly breezes with us. There is the chance that you could see the | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
odd isolated shower. Most of us could be staying dry. It is a dull | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
story out there. There will be some outbreaks of rain but many of us | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
stay dry overnight. Temperatures staying in double figures. Another | :25:08. | :25:17. | |
mild nights. Tomorrow, it is rather overcast. We have high pulling | :25:17. | :25:26. | |
away. It is not bringing you much in terms of rain but there is more | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
cloud around. We might start to see some breaks in the cloud that there | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
is still plenty of it around and temperatures are feeling fresher. | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
Tomorrow, highs of 18 Celsius. That is around average for the time of | :25:39. | :25:46. | |
year. As we go through tomorrow evening, we have some clearer skies | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
for a time. There is quite a bit of cloud cover. Overnight temperatures | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
dropping to 30 and Celsius. Some places will see temperatures are | :25:56. | :26:05. | |
around 50 Celsius. There is a weather front pushing up from the | :26:05. | :26:12. | |
south—west. —— temperatures are around 15 Celsius. It will feel | :26:12. | :26:22. | |
fresher with some sunshine around. Temperatures are around average for | :26:22. | :26:23. | |
the weekend. Let's recap tonight's top stories. | :26:23. | :26:33. | |
The Labour leader Ed Miliband is standing firm on his promise to | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
freeze gas and electricity prices for 20 months if he winds the next | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
election, insisting it's not an attack on business. —— if he wins | :26:39. | :26:49. | |
the next election. A woman who was viciously attacked | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
by her boyfriend during a night out says she was convinced she was going | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
to die. Litisha Henry from Chatham has spoken out to urge other victims | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
of domestic abuse not to suffer in silence. Simon Jones is in chat | :27:00. | :27:09. | |
tonight. How has the force responded tonight? The police are sympathetic. | :27:09. | :27:15. | |
Ann Barnes says drink—driving cases can be dealt with by the courts in | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
under a week and she feels domestic violence cases are allowed to drag | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
on and occasionally the victims decide not to go forward. Her case | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
took around six months and she was happy with how she was dealt with | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
and the piece argues in her case on their own YouTube channel to | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
persuade others to come forward. I will be back at 1025. Goodbye. —— | :27:38. | :27:43. | |
