Families of elderly residents at two Sussex care homes say | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
they are angry and disgusted after being told they're closing. | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
These are the second and third homes in St Leonards | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
that the New Century Care company has shut in less than a year, | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
blaming the national funding climate. | :00:20. | :00:22. | |

Last March the same company closed the home she used to live in and her | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
family is disgusted. 95-year-old Alice has dementia and her daughter | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
says she will struggle with the change. Chicago anything for | :00:59. | :01:02. | |

Linda used to be a manager with the company and says the minimum wage | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
pension obligations and pressure from the regulator mean homes can | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
not afford to run on the fees that local authorities are prepared to | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
put more money into social care, put more money into social care, | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
that's the bottom line. I think more and more providers would be looking | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
at the bottom line and thinking, this is just not sustainable. | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
Challenged about social care funding, the Prime Minister said she | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
recognised there are pressures and recognised there are | :01:56. | :01:56. | |
said more money is being made said more money is being made | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
available. This is an issue that has been backed by governments for too | :02:02. | :02:05. | |

Saint Leonards, relatives tell me finding new homes is already proving | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
difficult. It's just a shame because there isn't anywhere in Hastings, a | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
lot of the homes are for, it could be judgmental to her health and it's | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
very worrying. The county council said it would explore all potential | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
alternatives to putting the homes and will be making contact with the | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
families affected. A man's died after being hit | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
by a car in Swanley. The 29 year old was walking | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
on Maidstone Road near the junction with Hockenden Lane just after 10 | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
o'clock last night. He was struck by a | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
silver Renault Clio. Police are appealing for anyone who | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
saw what happened to contact them. Police and the coastguard have spent | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
the afternoon searching for a man who jumped off a motorway bridge | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
into the River Medway. Emergency services were called to | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
the M2 near Rochester this morning. A helicopter and divers | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
were involved in the search and the footpath between junctions | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
two and three was closed The search has been | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
called off for the night From our point of view, with | :03:06. | :03:20. | |
temperatures as they are in the water, we have suddenly hours we | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
think a body can be retrievable and hopefully can carry out | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
resuscitation. We had gone beyond that time now, so the colleagues | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
will not carry on the search. Southern rail has called on the RMT | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
union to suspend tomorrow's strike The operator says 70 | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
percent of its trains will run on Monday and a full | :03:41. | :03:52. | |
service will resume on Tuesday. The union - which is striking over | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
the role of the conductor and who operates the doors - | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
says Southern needs to "engage" with them | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
to deal with safety issues. The RSPCA say a dog is "lucky to be | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
alive" after she was thrown over a six foot fence and abandoned | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
in sub zero temperatures in Kent. The spaniel, thought | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
to be about a year old, was discovered on Wednesday | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
surrounded by frozen faeces in She's now recovering at an RSPCA | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
centre and animal inspectors are trying to find those responsible | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
plus a new home for her. Football now and Gillingham have | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
secured their first point of this year with a thrilling draw | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
against League One The Blades' Billy Sharp opened | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
the scoring at Bramall Lane. They were later pegged back | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
by Josh Wright who scored a quick double for the Gills - | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
his first goals since October - before Kieron Freeman | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
