needed to take urgent action to keep residents at Fairfield Manor

:01:13.:01:17.

and Woodlands safe. It found a lack of suitably

:01:18.:01:21.

skilled staff and poor leaddrship. But staff and relatives say

:01:22.:01:24.

the homes haven't been given enough Mrs Ward was told last Frid`y that

:01:25.:01:45.

her husband, who is 95, must leave Woodlands by next Friday. It is not

:01:46.:01:52.

fair. I find it horrendous `nd in humans. I feel like he is jtst like

:01:53.:01:57.

a suitcase and they have just dumped him. You think it is in hum`n? Yes.

:01:58.:02:03.

Neighbouring Fairfield Manor was closed down on Monday. One woman who

:02:04.:02:08.

had lived there for 16 years was made out with less than a d`y's

:02:09.:02:12.

notice after the Care Quality Commission took urgent action. I

:02:13.:02:16.

think we should have had more warning. It was ridiculous. The Care

:02:17.:02:21.

Quality Commission said it found a serious lack of suitably skhlled

:02:22.:02:26.

nursing staff at both homes. Through leadership and issues identhfied

:02:27.:02:30.

were serious enough to placd people at significant risk of harm. One

:02:31.:02:38.

man, whose aunt midday todax, said that practices were failing. The

:02:39.:02:42.

paperwork was not always up to date. How much she had had for brdakfast,

:02:43.:02:47.

whether she had been to the toilet, things like that. Some say that the

:02:48.:02:51.

home should be given more thme. There have been times when not

:02:52.:02:55.

enough staff have been on, H think staff would agree with that. But my

:02:56.:03:00.

mother has advanced Parkinson's and they have been incredibly c`ring.

:03:01.:03:05.

The managing company said that they were surprised by their Card Quality

:03:06.:03:11.

Commission's actions. The l`test inspection of Woodlands was on the

:03:12.:03:17.

3rd of July. On the 15th of August, the report demanding improvdments

:03:18.:03:20.

was published, but unions s`y that it was the day before that 47 staff

:03:21.:03:28.

were told that their jobs would go. These actions will exacerbate the

:03:29.:03:33.

problem. The Care Quality Commission accepts that there will be ` people

:03:34.:03:37.

but says that it had to act. `` up evil.

:03:38.:03:39.

One of the ways that the government is attempting to

:03:40.:03:41.

improve the care of the elddrly and to prevent more closures of care

:03:42.:03:44.

homes is with the Care Act, which was introduced earlier this year.

:03:45.:03:47.

The coalition believes it whll bring the most significant reforms of care

:03:48.:03:50.

Giving people more informed choices about health and social card.

:03:51.:03:54.

And there will be changes to the way that the Care Quality Commission

:03:55.:03:57.

They will send questionnairds to owners asking them

:03:58.:04:03.

if they think they need to hmprove areas of care and they will talk to

:04:04.:04:07.

It is going to be focusing lore on what people who receive the service

:04:08.:04:16.

are doing. It should be a bdtter experience. The inspectors have been

:04:17.:04:20.

trained into that new methodology, so the paperwork element is already

:04:21.:04:25.

going to be done, and they will also have the opportunity to givd homes

:04:26.:04:30.

chances to get better, and hf they continue to fail there will be

:04:31.:04:36.

fines. Well, Simon Jones joins us

:04:37.:04:37.

live now from Broadstairs. Simon, the homes there say

:04:38.:04:40.

attracting staff is a major problem. The owners say that what happened

:04:41.:04:53.

here illustrates a wider problem. They say they are desperately trying

:04:54.:04:56.

to take on more nursing staff to ease problems, even raising wages,

:04:57.:05:00.

but they say that they are competing with the nearby hospital, which is

:05:01.:05:04.

also taking on staff and thdy see it as a battle they could not win. The

:05:05.:05:10.

result is that 23 residents have already been made from this home, it

:05:11.:05:14.

has shut. And more residents will be used from this other one. The care

:05:15.:05:20.

quality mission says that it is the thing up `` that it is strengthening

:05:21.:05:28.

the project. The County Council has a number of residents who h`ve

:05:29.:05:32.

embraced year. They say thex will work with the provider to ensure a

:05:33.:05:34.

dignified transfer. UKIP Leader Nigel Farage wants

:05:35.:05:37.

the government to block the return of UK nationals who have

:05:38.:05:39.

gone to fight for Islamic State He says the UK citizenship should

:05:40.:05:42.

be stripped from militants who Our political editor Louise Stewart

:05:43.:05:47.

reports. an international manhunt continues

:05:48.:06:11.

to try to identify the Kelldr of the international journalist who was

:06:12.:06:17.

murdered. The UKIP leader Nhgel Farrar says that it is time to take

:06:18.:06:21.

tough action against people who pose a threat to Britain. If thex are

:06:22.:06:28.

purely rotation passport holders, the difficulty that we have is that

:06:29.:06:33.

the conventional human rights says that we are not able to strhp them

:06:34.:06:36.

of it. This is so important for the safety of our communities that

:06:37.:06:41.

perhaps the time has come to see two Strasberg, I am sorry, but H am not

:06:42.:06:44.

going to have these people back in Britain. Why would someone take

:06:45.:06:55.

their passport and citizenship away? It is not a good thing as a human

:06:56.:07:00.

being. I do not think that they should lose their passports, they

:07:01.:07:06.

should have their own rights. As many as 500 people from the UK may

:07:07.:07:10.

have gone to fight in Syria and Iraq. This man died and debris when

:07:11.:07:14.

he drove a truck bomb into this prison. And this 18`year`old from

:07:15.:07:20.

Brighton died in Syria after going with two brothers to fight `gainst

:07:21.:07:31.

President Assad. I think th`t this is an unworkable idea. They can say

:07:32.:07:35.

whatever he wants, but it m`y not be by not. It is like a gimmick to

:07:36.:07:40.

attract votes. Those people who go there in the first place, they have

:07:41.:07:45.

no intention of coming back. David Cameron returned from his holiday,

:07:46.:07:51.

but has since resumed it. Nhgel Farage says that Parliament should

:07:52.:07:57.

be recall. I personally belheve strongly that this issue, and the

:07:58.:08:04.

question of whether we should be arming the Kurds are not shdep be

:08:05.:08:09.

discussed on the floor of the House of Commons `` should be. It is not

:08:10.:08:13.

good enough for us still to be on holiday with his things going on.

:08:14.:08:19.

Now the more pressing issue is to identify the journalist's thller.

:08:20.:08:24.

Bringing him to justice could be a much more complex issue.

:08:25.:08:27.

And he joins us from Westminster now.

:08:28.:08:32.

How practical is it for the government to be able to revoke

:08:33.:08:40.

someone's passport? It can be done, it can be done for someone with dual

:08:41.:08:46.

nationality. And those who have in getting indefinite leave to remain,

:08:47.:08:49.

the government can tell thel they are no longer a British cithzen

:08:50.:08:53.

What they cannot do is prevdnt someone with only British

:08:54.:08:58.

citizenship from returning home because they would be stateless The

:08:59.:09:03.

government changed the law last year so that they could take awax the

:09:04.:09:16.

passport of anybody`` anyond whose activities could endanger those in

:09:17.:09:17.

Britain. Now, if you have teenagers `t home,

:09:18.:09:34.

you won't need me to tell you it More often than not,

:09:35.:09:38.

a day of tension, But in the wake of the recent GCSE

:09:39.:09:40.

exam shake`up students were warned this year that results could be

:09:41.:09:45.

mixed. There is a suggestion that

:09:46.:09:52.

nationally we will see some decline. Intended as looking as though there

:09:53.:09:57.

is some turbulence in the fhgures and that will be reflected here as

:09:58.:09:59.

well. Overall, though, it appears that

:10:00.:10:00.

results this year have stood up The proportion of GCSEs awarded a C

:10:01.:10:02.

or higher has risen But figures also show large swings

:10:03.:10:05.

in English and maths results. Piers Hopkirk has been to one school

:10:06.:10:09.

in Sussex to see how they f`red After a summer of uncertainty, the

:10:10.:10:36.

waiting was finally over. Fhve A`star and three A. I am re`lly

:10:37.:10:43.

happy. I am really happy, I worked hard to revise and get all of the

:10:44.:10:50.

exams done but it has paid off. For the students, it was a moment they

:10:51.:10:55.

were prepared to share. That is quite exciting. A`star, A`star,

:10:56.:11:07.

A`star. I am quite happy with that. This year the regulator warned both

:11:08.:11:11.

schools and students that they would be greater volatility in results

:11:12.:11:14.

because of a shift in emphasis from coursework to final exams. But at

:11:15.:11:24.

the school results were on the up, with many people getting five A`star

:11:25.:11:31.

or more. The difficulty has known cole in

:11:32.:11:36.

with the students have performed well, they should be proud of

:11:37.:11:41.

themselves. Early indications suggest that

:11:42.:11:44.

Sussex was in line with the national average, it comes after criticism

:11:45.:11:49.

from Ofsted that the County Council needed to accelerate the pace of

:11:50.:11:54.

improvements. We want to ensure that every child wants to go to ` school

:11:55.:11:59.

which is judged to be good or outstanding, and from that basis

:12:00.:12:02.

every child goes on to achidve their full potential. The indicathons from

:12:03.:12:08.

the 2014 result is that the tide is turning. Results will be collated in

:12:09.:12:14.

the coming days to see how these pupils come here with their

:12:15.:12:17.

contemporaries countrywide. GCSE pupils received

:12:18.:12:24.

their final grades today. The exams are a challenge

:12:25.:12:26.

for all children ` but for those with special needs, some subjects

:12:27.:12:29.

can be even more demanding. Autistic children can vary

:12:30.:12:31.

in their educational abilithes There are around 400 autisthc

:12:32.:12:33.

schoolchildren in Kent who 189 of them go to Laleham G`p School

:12:34.:12:37.

in Margate. And today more than 70%

:12:38.:12:44.

of their GCSE pupils were celebrating a grade C or above

:12:45.:12:47.

in maths and science, and almost Results day at the school, `nd a

:12:48.:13:05.

pleasing one for the pupils. I got a C in maths, B in science, in

:13:06.:13:27.

technology C. That is a relhef. A great A formats. That is brhlliant.

:13:28.:13:31.

If these grades are enough then I will be going to sixth form in

:13:32.:13:37.

September. Here, maths and science is one of the strongest are`s, with

:13:38.:13:42.

more than 70% of pupils gaining a C or above. We are very lucky that the

:13:43.:13:51.

classes can be small. We have also been careful how we have select the

:13:52.:13:56.

examinations for our pupils. They have got a really good attitude to

:13:57.:13:59.

learning and I have encouraged them that they can do really well, as

:14:00.:14:03.

opposed to making them think that they cannot achieve higher grades.

:14:04.:14:08.

School children with autism often struggle as they do not recdive the

:14:09.:14:13.

correct care and education. You have all done so well. It is schools such

:14:14.:14:17.

as this one which helps to stop them from being sidelined. It helps to

:14:18.:14:22.

challenge the assumption th`t children with special needs cannot

:14:23.:14:26.

achieve academically. This proves that they can. They now havd the

:14:27.:14:30.

best chance of flourishing `s they head towards adult life.

:14:31.:14:41.

Two workers at Gatwick here `` Gatwick Airport have been arrested

:14:42.:14:45.

by police investigating stolen goods. At 22`year`old man and a

:14:46.:14:53.

46`year`old woman are being questioned on suspicion of theft.

:14:54.:14:58.

A 36`year`old man has been `rrested on suspicion of killing

:14:59.:15:00.

a dog`walker after an allegdd row over their pets in Bexhill.

:15:01.:15:03.

Peter Morley was walking his dog in Turkey Road

:15:04.:15:05.

when it is believed it was `ttacked by two canines on July 20th.

:15:06.:15:08.

He suffered a head injury during a row with the owner of the

:15:09.:15:12.

Proposals to move a Canterbtry grammar school to Herne Bay have

:15:13.:15:20.

today been rejected because it would be too expdnsive.

:15:21.:15:22.

Barton Court Grammar School will remain on its existing site

:15:23.:15:25.

The head teacher of the school had suggested the move would solve

:15:26.:15:31.

the lack of grammar provision in Herne Bay and Whitstable.

:15:32.:15:35.

Two care homes in Broadstairs have been ordered by inspectors to close.

:15:36.:15:39.

The Care Quality Commission says it was essential,

:15:40.:15:42.

in order to keep residents `t Fairfield Manor and Woodlands safe.

:15:43.:15:47.

But staff and relatives say the homes haven't been given enough

:15:48.:15:49.

On a mission from God to make congregations laugh ` the South East

:15:50.:15:59.

After a cool week there is rain and also air. Join me later for the

:16:00.:16:13.

details. 27 years ago a mum of four from Kent

:16:14.:16:18.

had the opportunity to stagd a ballet she'd created at

:16:19.:16:22.

Sadler's Wells. The runaway success of the

:16:23.:16:23.

production led Jill Tookey to create It soon became the

:16:24.:16:27.

National Youth Ballet. Tonight they will be premiering

:16:28.:16:32.

their latest work at the Stag Theatre in Sevenoaks bdfore

:16:33.:16:35.

a gala performance in London. Claudia Sermbezis went

:16:36.:16:37.

along to rehearsals. This is Little Red Riding Hht with a

:16:38.:17:00.

difference. `` Riding Hood. Set in the 1950s it features a rebdllious

:17:01.:17:05.

young girl who needs a jeans teen inspired rebel in the woods. ``

:17:06.:17:16.

James Dean. It is a new version of the classic story. You know

:17:17.:17:21.

straightaway that I do not look like the classic character. She hs a lot

:17:22.:17:25.

older and it is a new take on things. It is really cool to play.

:17:26.:17:31.

Every year ballet dancers aged between eight and 18 audition across

:17:32.:17:37.

the UK. 120 are chosen for one year only and perform at a professional

:17:38.:17:44.

level. It was all started bx this woman, who still keeps all of the

:17:45.:17:47.

costumes and props in a converted dearly. I was a young child when I

:17:48.:17:54.

went to my first audition. H wrote a children's book, when was m`rried

:17:55.:18:00.

with four children. To the `mazement of my family it was publishdd. I

:18:01.:18:04.

thought that this would makd an incredible ballet. The succdss of

:18:05.:18:11.

her work led to the creation of the National Youth Ballet, and the

:18:12.:18:17.

success of stars like this lan. Time magazine has described him `s the

:18:18.:18:20.

world's most popular living dance maker. My first big full`length

:18:21.:18:30.

ballet was for the National Youth Ballet. He has meant for me and

:18:31.:18:39.

helped me to grow as an arthst. There she was part of a widdr

:18:40.:18:42.

programme tonight, including classical pieces which introduced

:18:43.:19:09.

the youngest dancers to Moz`rt. Cool thanks Tom

it is a family of photograph deceiver. Tessa is 70 and stars

:19:15.:19:25.

alongside her daughter in these new fashion photographs. They h`d the

:19:26.:19:33.

idea of doing a mother and daughter campaign. I said yes, it was fine to

:19:34.:19:40.

use my daughter. You have bden a photographer yourself, tell me about

:19:41.:19:45.

that? I used to food graph lodels all of the time. `` photo graph In

:19:46.:19:54.

my early days I was a fashion for geographers. She is the wifd of the

:19:55.:20:02.

UKIP treasurer. We have done a great work on the

:20:03.:20:07.

house and the gardens. As a matter of fact, we open tomorrow. The

:20:08.:20:18.

family live at this castle, but Tessa is battling a rear disease. I

have a theory and of cancer. They are doing a trial on two new drugs.

:20:27.:20:32.

I am only the ninth person hn the UK to be eligible for a trial. The mum

:20:33.:20:41.

and daughter were part of three different couples chosen. Wd all

:20:42.:20:50.

grew up in the 1960s, so we are a punchy generation. We do not want to

:20:51.:20:53.

be left out of the limelight when we are older. Facing 70 with style

:20:54.:21:03.

Church sermons aren't normally associated with laugh`out`loud

:21:04.:21:04.

comedy, but one vicar in Kent thinks perhaps they should

:21:05.:21:07.

be, and is getting tips on how to deliver the perfect punch lhne.

:21:08.:21:10.

The Reverend Ravi Holy from St Gregory and St Martin's Church in

:21:11.:21:13.

Wye has been on a stand`up course, run by a comedian exclusively

:21:14.:21:16.

Tonight he's taking a step further by performing a gig in London.

:21:17.:21:26.

Jane Witherspoon is there for us now.

:21:27.:21:30.

This congregation in Wye is about to hear a sermon with a differdnce

:21:31.:21:33.

because the vicar has been learning how to be a stand`up comedi`n.

:21:34.:21:45.

Yes, he's been working that one into his set.

:21:46.:21:50.

Sometimes people are so preoccupied with the fact that

:21:51.:21:52.

I'm Mr Holy the vicar, they don t even notice the Italian connection.

:21:53.:21:55.

I'm assuming you all got the "ravioli".

:21:56.:22:04.

Back in Kent, Ravi's jokes have got churchgoers giggling.

:22:05.:22:07.

It's like the other old jokd ` I used to be conceited,

:22:08.:22:10.

I think it's a very good way to put something

:22:11.:22:14.

I'm not here to make people laugh, at the end of the day I'm hdre to

:22:15.:22:21.

deliver what is quite a serhous and life`changing message.

:22:22.:22:34.

Are born entertainer with no shortage of material for his next

:22:35.:22:44.

service. We're joined now by Ravi Holy. Thank

:22:45.:22:47.

you for joining us. You look very calm. No first night nerves? I am

:22:48.:22:57.

prepared. I am hoping it will be as much fun to do as it has bedn to

:22:58.:23:01.

prepay. Why did you decide to do this? Obviously it is a way of

:23:02.:23:08.

attracting a new congregation, but mated raise a few eyebrows hn your

:23:09.:23:15.

original congregation? They are used to make cracking jokes, I h`ve done

:23:16.:23:19.

it since I started preaching nine years ago. I believe that you can

:23:20.:23:25.

always improve. When I heard about this course, learning comedx

:23:26.:23:29.

techniques for Vickers, I thought that it was definitely for le. I did

:23:30.:23:34.

it to improve my preaching. The man who runs it is so enthusiastic about

:23:35.:23:38.

comedy that I got completelx infected with the idea that actually

:23:39.:23:43.

this is something that anyone can do and arguably it is something that

:23:44.:23:47.

everyone should do. So I thought, I will have a go. What is the worst

:23:48.:23:51.

that will happen? Everyone will laugh at me! Can you give us an idea

:23:52.:23:58.

of how you will work these jokes into your sermons? Again, I have

:23:59.:24:05.

been doing that increasinglx for the last nine years. Most of my

:24:06.:24:08.

parishioners enjoy that, maxbe some do not, but I personally believe

:24:09.:24:13.

that humour is an effective communication tool, and that is what

:24:14.:24:17.

I am trying to do, communic`te as effectively as I can. Use a few

:24:18.:24:24.

jokes, and maybe I will we get even better at doing that. Do yot think

:24:25.:24:27.

it will bring some more youngsters through the doors? Win that is not

:24:28.:24:36.

really why I am doing it. I hope that it will mean that everx sermon

:24:37.:24:39.

that I preach, whether it bd on a Sunday morning, at a wedding, or

:24:40.:24:44.

another situation, will be lore engaging, more relevant. Though

:24:45.:24:51.
