goodbye from me and on BBC One, we now join the BBC's news teams where

:00:00.:00:00.

Welcome to South East Today, I'm Polly Evans.

:00:00.:00:07.

An ordinary afternoon that turned to horror ` the mother of

:00:08.:00:14.

Mary Shipstone talks publicly for the first time about how her

:00:15.:00:17.

I saw her father with a gun in his hand and he fired it twice.

:00:18.:00:38.

And the British lorry drivers planning

:00:39.:00:40.

to blockade Dover in protest over the migrant situation in Calais

:00:41.:00:42.

We'll be live at the Kent port with the details.

:00:43.:00:45.

Also in tonight's programme, the shadow chancellor calls for an end

:00:46.:00:47.

to "dither and delay" over `irport expansion in the South East.

:00:48.:00:50.

Marking 25 years since the Deal IRA bombing ` the families of the dead

:00:51.:00:53.

Meet five special people who will remind you what makes us hulan.

:00:54.:01:03.

And the internet series abott five Brighton friends with learnhng

:01:04.:01:05.

difficulties, chosen by Opr`h Winfrey to air on her TV network.

:01:06.:01:15.

The mother of a seven`year`old girl who was shot and killed by her own

:01:16.:01:21.

father has revealed tonight that she was the victim of domestic violence.

:01:22.:01:24.

Lyndsey Shipstone, her son and her daughter, Mary, werd housed

:01:25.:01:27.

An investigation is underwax into how her ex`husband camd to find

:01:28.:01:34.

Lyndsey Shipstone chose to speak to BBC South East Today about the

:01:35.:01:40.

events of that day and how she hopes her daughter's memory will live on.

:01:41.:01:52.

It was just an ordinary day. Mary had come home from school. She was

:01:53.:02:00.

holding her violin. We walkdd to the house. As soon as I put my front

:02:01.:02:08.

door key in, there was a terrible bang behind me. I turned rotnd and

:02:09.:02:12.

Mary was on the ground. That was when I saw her father with the gun

:02:13.:02:18.

in his hand, pointing at Mary's head and he fired it a second tile.

:02:19.:02:24.

Speaking publicly for the fhrst time, Lyndsey Shipstone describes

:02:25.:02:27.

the moment her daughter was shot and killed by her own father. I thought

:02:28.:02:33.

somebody had run up to us and burst an enormous balloon. I turndd around

:02:34.:02:38.

and I was cross, thinking someone had played a trick on us. When I

:02:39.:02:43.

lived down, I couldn't understand why Mary was on the ground. I was

:02:44.:02:48.

screaming for help and I was telling the neighbours who were calling the

:02:49.:02:54.

police that he had a gun. And Mary had been shot. Mary was takdn to

:02:55.:02:56.

Kings College London but in London Kings College London but in London

:02:57.:03:01.

but died the next day. Her father, Yasser Alromisse, is believdd to

:03:02.:03:04.

have taken his own life momdnts after the shooting. Can you have any

:03:05.:03:10.

idea at all of what motivatdd such action? There was no indication that

:03:11.:03:19.

he would murder his daughter. He gave the impression in court that he

:03:20.:03:24.

was a loving father who wanted to love her and to see her. Today, it

:03:25.:03:29.

emerged that Lindsay and her family had been the victims of domdstic

:03:30.:03:34.

violence at the hands of Yasser Alromisse. I was living elsdwhere

:03:35.:03:45.

and to two various reasons, my address had been disclosed when it

:03:46.:03:51.

wasn't supposed to be, so for safety reasons, we were moved by the local

:03:52.:03:57.

authority. We were moved to Northiam, which was supposed to be a

:03:58.:04:04.

more Private address. So we were happy to move to Northiam. But while

:04:05.:04:10.

investigations surrounding Lary s death continue, Lindsay told of the

:04:11.:04:17.

family's pain. You can't describe the horror that I have felt, that we

:04:18.:04:22.

have felt, losing my preciots daughter. I hoped that she would

:04:23.:04:28.

survive and I really wanted her to. Even if she had been disabldd, I

:04:29.:04:34.

would have cared for her for the rest of her life. But it wasn't to

:04:35.:04:39.

be and I was just left with this feeling that I wanted something good

:04:40.:04:42.

to come out of the horror of Mary's death. Lindsay took the dechsion to

:04:43.:04:49.

donate Mary's organs, a movd which has benefited five other chhldren. I

:04:50.:04:54.

thought it would be a way of Mary living on in these children in some

:04:55.:05:01.

small way. And that was a great comfort to know that other children

:05:02.:05:11.

would survive three Mary. A memorial fund has been set up as a tribute to

:05:12.:05:16.

Mary. The fund will help other children to share her love of music.

:05:17.:05:21.

Her mother says she wants the memory of her little girl to live on. She

:05:22.:05:26.

has had her life snatched away from her so cruelly when there w`s so

:05:27.:05:33.

much promise. But I would lhke people to remember her little

:05:34.:05:36.

smiling face. She was such ` happy child. I think that's the mdmory

:05:37.:05:45.

that the people he knew her well have.

:05:46.:05:48.

Piers, the investigation into Mary Shipstone's death is ongoing.

:05:49.:05:53.

I understand there are two key parts to the investigation. The police are

:05:54.:06:07.

trying to understand how Yasser Alromisse came to get hold of the

:06:08.:06:11.

gun and, secondly, trying to understand how he was able to track

:06:12.:06:16.

down his estranged wife and their family. I also understand that

:06:17.:06:19.

information from East Sussex county council and from Sussex Polhce will

:06:20.:06:23.

be passed to the safeguarding children board. It will look at that

:06:24.:06:28.

information and determine whether any mistakes have been made in this

:06:29.:06:32.

case and, if so, they may consider what is called a serious case

:06:33.:06:33.

review. Thank you. Threats by a group

:06:34.:06:37.

of lorry drivers to blockadd the Port of Dover in protest

:06:38.:06:39.

at illegal migrants trying to cross the channel have been condelned by

:06:40.:06:42.

the Freight Transport Assochation. A group calling themselves

:06:43.:06:44.

Support The Calais To Dover Truckers claim they'll hold

:06:45.:06:47.

the demonstration on Saturd`y. Around 2000 migrants have g`thered

:06:48.:06:49.

at Calais Police say any blockade of the Kent

:06:50.:06:52.

port as part Scores of migrants desperatd to get

:06:53.:07:11.

to England, and all`too`famhliar sight in Calais and every mhgrant

:07:12.:07:18.

found on board a truck once back in the UK, the driver faces a heavy

:07:19.:07:25.

fine. The chance of a ?2000 per person fine, it is a big problem. I

:07:26.:07:31.

can't afford to pay that personally, even though the last thing H want to

:07:32.:07:36.

do is bring people here. If you slow down at a roundabout, they will jump

:07:37.:07:41.

in the back of a truck. You don t want to stop at traffic lights

:07:42.:07:44.

because they are there, jumping into the truck. The French must `sk

:07:45.:07:53.

themselves one question, whx do know `` why do they not stay in France,

:07:54.:08:03.

Belgium, the Netherlands? The answer is simple. They say they will form a

:08:04.:08:12.

protest blockade this weekend. The protest is pushing for more security

:08:13.:08:18.

of Borders fire a campaign group on Facebook but some say it is not the

:08:19.:08:25.

answer. We understand some of the drivers think they are being used as

:08:26.:08:31.

scapegoats in this situation and they are having to take out loans to

:08:32.:08:36.

pay fines, and we understand their frustration, but we do not think

:08:37.:08:39.

action here. Kent police sax they action here. Kent police sax they

:08:40.:08:45.

are aware of the planned blockade on Saturday and they are liaishng with

:08:46.:08:50.

the port to ensure it is a peaceful protest. Chrissy, more migr`nts have

:08:51.:08:57.

been found in the back of a lorry on the M25 today? Holly, 13 suspected

:08:58.:09:04.

illegal migrants were found jumping out of the back of the lorrx and

:09:05.:09:10.

running down the hard shoulder of the M25 this morning. Those 13 were

:09:11.:09:15.

arrested but the driver of the lorry had left the scene before the police

:09:16.:09:18.

arrived, probably because hd feared he would get a fine, becausd

:09:19.:09:22.

regardless of how many checks they do between Calais and Dover, any

:09:23.:09:27.

migrant found on board the truck, the driver faces a fine of tp to ``

:09:28.:09:34.

a fine of up to ?2000. One chap told me today that his colleague had to

:09:35.:09:39.

take out a loan in order to pay the fine. Kent police said that they

:09:40.:09:45.

welcome a peaceful protest but that blocking the highway is an offence

:09:46.:09:48.

and they will take action where necessary. Coming up in a moment,

:09:49.:09:57.

1400 souls were lost on this day 100 years ago. We remember thosd killed

:09:58.:09:59.

in a German torpedo attack. Relatives of 11 Royal Marind

:10:00.:10:03.

musicians killed by the IRA 25 years ago have attended a

:10:04.:10:06.

memorial service today, marking the The ceremony was led by a vhcar who

:10:07.:10:09.

lost her brother in the att`ck. It took place in the memori`l garden

:10:10.:10:15.

created on the site of the barracks Remembering their comrades `nd their

:10:16.:10:44.

friends 25 years on. On this site on the morning of the 22nd of September

:10:45.:10:50.

1980 nine, 11 men lost their lives in an IRA bombing. They werd all

:10:51.:10:54.

musicians, members of the Royal Marines brand `` band. Todax, they

:10:55.:11:01.

gathered to remember those who had their lives cut short. We pride

:11:02.:11:08.

ourselves on recognising th`t we are one big family and it has affected

:11:09.:11:15.

the families of these peopld for the last 25 years. Although it hs the

:11:16.:11:19.

25th anniversary, it is the same for them each day. The bomb had been

:11:20.:11:25.

placed under a sofa and a rdcreation room of the Royal Marines School of

:11:26.:11:31.

music, killing many and injtring many more. One of those killed, was

:11:32.:11:37.

this gentleman and his family said it left a huge hole in their lives.

:11:38.:11:45.

Sometimes you are prepared for the length of the longevity of

:11:46.:11:50.

somebody's life and that was taken away. They were just voluntders

:11:51.:11:55.

what can we say? What can wd do There were over 100 people `t this

:11:56.:12:02.

small garden in Deal to datd, a sign that 25 years on, this tragddy has

:12:03.:12:08.

not been forgotten. It was ` horror for everybody worldwide. Nobody

:12:09.:12:13.

could understand why this ndst `` unnecessary and tragic loss of life

:12:14.:12:20.

had happened. There was a mdmorial concert on the seafront earlier this

:12:21.:12:23.

summer. For the families who lost loved ones 25 years ago, thdy know

:12:24.:12:30.

that their memories live on free music.

:12:31.:12:33.

A man who drove his girlfridnd's car onto the racetrack at Brands Hatch

:12:34.:12:36.

Jack Cottle from Wadhurst, seen here in the grey top, is charged with

:12:37.:12:40.

He was arrested after footage was posted online

:12:41.:12:44.

in June, showing the Volksw`gen Polo being driven onto the circuit

:12:45.:12:46.

The 22`year`old has been released on bail, banning him

:12:47.:12:50.

from entering Brands Hatch or attending any motorsport evdnt.

:12:51.:12:53.

He's due to appear before Maidstone Crown Court next lonth.

:12:54.:13:01.

The family of a man who is due to board a flight for the Philhppines

Fred Buenavista left the cotntry of his birth aged four.

:13:09.:13:11.

His mum and two half sisters have British citizenship but he s

Thousands have signed a pethtion to try to keep him in the UK.

:13:15.:13:22.

A court has been hearing how a 93`year`old woman from Hastings

:13:23.:13:25.

had around ?29,000 stolen from her bank account by her cleaner.

:13:26.:13:29.

Opening the case at Hove Crown Court, the prosecution

:13:30.:13:31.

alleges that Noreen Kelly stole money and clothes from Mari`

:13:32.:13:34.

Walbrin, who is partially shghted, between January 2008 and June 2 13.

:13:35.:13:37.

The jury was shown a number of cheques written to the ddfendant

:13:38.:13:40.

Juliette Parkin was at Hove Crown Court.

:13:41.:13:46.

Juliette, what else was the court told?

:13:47.:13:55.

Outlining the case, the prosecution told the jury how Noreen Kelly had

:13:56.:14:02.

been employed by Maria Walbrin. She cleaned for her initially and then

:14:03.:14:05.

also did some shopping and banking for her. The court heard thd

:14:06.:14:10.

93`year`old described as independent but frail, she had suffered an `` a

:14:11.:14:15.

broken hip and her eyesight was poor. In July 2003, have falily

:14:16.:14:22.

became concerned from her b`nk statements about the amount of

:14:23.:14:25.

checks she had been writing and called the police. By and l`rge the

:14:26.:14:30.

police said the checks were written out to the defendant, amounting to

:14:31.:14:40.

almost ?29,000. Noreen Kellx denies stealing the money, saying that she

:14:41.:14:44.

paid the checks into her bank account and gave the money back to

:14:45.:14:49.

Maria Walbrin as a form of tax avoidance. The case continuds.

:14:50.:14:51.

The Shadow Chancellor, Ed B`lls has called for the decision on how

:14:52.:14:54.

to increase airport capacitx in the South East to be taken puickly

:14:55.:14:56.

Speaking to the Labour Partx conference in Manchester,

:14:57.:15:00.

Mr Balls said if his party wins the next dlection

:15:01.:15:02.

it will end the "dither and delay" over large infrastructure projects.

:15:03.:15:11.

Whatever the outcome of the how Davies review into export c`pacity,

:15:12.:15:17.

we must resolve to finally lake a decision on airport capacitx in

:15:18.:15:22.

London and the south`east, dxpanding capacity while taking into `ccount

:15:23.:15:24.

the environmental impact. No more the environmental impact. No more

:15:25.:15:29.

kicking it into the long gr`ss, but taking the right decisions for

:15:30.:15:30.

Britain's long`term future. Our political editor Louise Stewart

:15:31.:15:35.

is at the Labour party confdrence Louise, the issue of aviation

:15:36.:15:38.

capacity may be being raised at the conference, but it doesn't bring us

:15:39.:15:42.

any closer to a decision dods it? That is right, Rob. This is such a

:15:43.:15:53.

politically contentious isste that none of the parties want to nail

:15:54.:15:57.

their colours to the mast bdfore the next general election, so none will

:15:58.:16:02.

say which option they preferred Ed balls said a decision must be taken

:16:03.:16:06.

quickly after the general election. The Davies commission has s`id that

:16:07.:16:12.

there needs to be a new runway in the south`east by 2030. He has laid

:16:13.:16:16.

out three options and a second runway at Gatwick is one of them.

:16:17.:16:21.

Earlier, I spoke to the chidf executive of Gatwick and he told me

:16:22.:16:25.

why he thinks it is the best option. We are delighted that we ard at the

:16:26.:16:28.

centre of this debate because we think we are the obvious option It

:16:29.:16:32.

will result in competition `cross the market, affordable fares and it

:16:33.:16:38.

will also mean we have a manageable environmental impact and we are

:16:39.:16:42.

leading on that front two. He says it is such an important isste that

:16:43.:16:47.

he will go to all the party conferences this year to lobby the

:16:48.:16:50.

main parties because we do not know who will form the next government

:16:51.:16:55.

and whoever it is, they will make the decision on where a new runway

:16:56.:16:58.

will be built. The mother of a seven`year`old girl

:16:59.:17:02.

who was shot and killed by her own father has revealed tonight that she

:17:03.:17:05.

was the victim of domestic violence. Lyndsey Shipstone was housed

:17:06.:17:08.

in Northiam in Sussex My name is Sam and I am 22 xears

:17:09.:17:27.

old. I live in Brighton with my housemate.

:17:28.:17:29.

The Specials ` how an internet series about five Brighton friends

:17:30.:17:31.

is set to be broadcast across America, thanks to Oprah Winfrey.

:17:32.:17:38.

And there is a slightly fresher feel to the weather but still pldnty of

:17:39.:17:43.

sunshine. Please join me later. On this day 100 years ago,

:17:44.:17:48.

more than 1400 sailors lost their lives when three warships wdre

:17:49.:17:51.

torpedoed during World War One. The three cruisers from one

:17:52.:17:53.

of the Navy's key bases, Ch`tham, were sunk in less than an hour

:17:54.:17:56.

by a German U`boat. It was one of the worst losses in

:17:57.:18:00.

British naval history, many of the Today, relatives

:18:01.:18:03.

of those who died attended ` special ceremony to mark the centen`ry

:18:04.:18:08.

of the disaster in Chatham. Mark Sanders has tonight?s

:18:09.:18:12.

special report. More than 1400 poppies fallhng

:18:13.:18:28.

silently, each one for a life lost 100 years ago today. This sdrvice

:18:29.:18:32.

was to remember those who dhed when three Royal Navy warships wdre sunk.

:18:33.:18:41.

They were on patrol of the Hook of Holland when they were torpddoed by

:18:42.:18:49.

a submarine. Within 90 minutes, 1490 men wear dead. When you havd lost

:18:50.:19:01.

your husband, there is nothhng that can replace that and the chhldren

:19:02.:19:06.

tried to help her but with very little money. They all had to find

:19:07.:19:11.

work. My mother was working when she was 13 to try to help to support her

:19:12.:19:19.

mother. The ships were from the Chatham port division. 1400 people

:19:20.:19:32.

lost their lives, 1200 of whom came from the Chatham port divishon, so

:19:33.:19:36.

this is very much a service to remember those who died and the

:19:37.:19:42.

families affected. The loss of the three ships represents one of the

:19:43.:19:49.

Navy's darkest days. The Roxal Navy losses perhaps overshadowed at times

:19:50.:19:59.

by the fighting on land. Thd War at Sea has tended to be lost to sight

:20:00.:20:05.

and that was perhaps becausd it happened out on the water, lany

:20:06.:20:11.

miles from land, out of sight. The names here stand for the many who

:20:12.:20:16.

died and for those here tod`y, the passing of one century does not

:20:17.:20:17.

diminish the loss. The Specials is a British wdb series

:20:18.:20:31.

about five friends with learning disabilities in Brighton, all made

:20:32.:20:34.

in the producers' spare bedroom The series was shown to

:20:35.:20:37.

Oprah Winfrey and now it's been It is all thanks to be in e`sy as of

:20:38.:20:58.

the producers of game of fr`mes `` game of thrones.

:20:59.:21:06.

It is a huge show, a multi`award`winning fantasy drama, a

:21:07.:21:10.

phenomenon unlike any other TV drama series. It was one of the show's

:21:11.:21:22.

producers who spotted The Special, a show about five people with learning

:21:23.:21:38.

disabilities who know British TV company wanted. Oprah Winfrdy has

:21:39.:21:40.

now broadcast The Specials `cross America. Meet five special people

:21:41.:21:48.

who will remind you what makes us human. We had only now saying that

:21:49.:21:57.

Oprah loved it and what appdals is that this can be watched by anyone

:21:58.:22:04.

who likes watching entertaining TV. Right now, America is watchhng Sam

:22:05.:22:07.

walking down the stairs `` the stairs in his underpants. What did

:22:08.:22:14.

you think when you found out that The Specials was going to bd shown

:22:15.:22:21.

on TV in America? I was feeling happy. All the time. The hotse was

:22:22.:22:29.

set up by hilly's parents who cannot believe their daughter is now on

:22:30.:22:35.

American TV. Our first reaction was, oh my gosh, because Oprah Whnfrey is

:22:36.:22:39.

such an iconic figure and so influential that we were just

:22:40.:22:45.

overwhelmed. I think as well, it is important, the reason we agreed to

:22:46.:22:51.

do this for us personally, hs to get the message out that guys lhke this

:22:52.:22:55.

can live independent lives. With presence from the American networks

:22:56.:23:00.

and a feature in one of America s biggest magazines, the housdmate

:23:01.:23:04.

feel their show really has that special something. `` the housemates

:23:05.:23:08.

feel. Despite giving 110%

:23:09.:23:12.

for the full 90 minutes, thd South East's top teams failed to lake much

:23:13.:23:15.

of an impression over the wdekend. Indeed, none of our four le`gue

:23:16.:23:18.

sides managed a victory and only one managed to find the back of the net,

:23:19.:23:21.
