:00:20. > :00:23.standards of care. I would have thought eating and drinking is
:00:24. > :00:30.something that we should look at a thing, if we can't give this to our

:01:17. > :01:20.Good evening. A Sussex hospital trust is being warned to improve
:01:20. > :01:22.patient care or face prosecution. The Care Quality Commission has
:01:22. > :01:25.ruled that, despite previous warnings, the East Sussex Hospitals
:01:25. > :01:30.NHS Trust is still failing to meet essential standards of quality and
:01:30. > :01:33.safety. Even so, the bosses of Eastbourne District General
:01:33. > :01:39.Hospital and the Conquest Hospital in Hastings say they are confident
:01:39. > :01:47.of making significant progress by the September deadline. Sara Smith
:01:47. > :01:52.reports. Two hospitals, one Trust and a
:01:52. > :01:58.deadline of 2nd September. They have to make urgent improvements in
:01:58. > :02:03.patient care. When we first went in February, we advise the trust of
:02:03. > :02:07.what we had found, and when we went back in April, things had improved.
:02:07. > :02:11.But it still doesn't make the progress that it needs to, so they
:02:11. > :02:16.are on their last warning. Incomplete patient records and
:02:16. > :02:21.assessments are leaving patients at risk, says the commission. If the
:02:21. > :02:25.trust do not sort this within the timetable, services could be
:02:25. > :02:32.reduced. I want it sorted. The residents of Eastbourne deserve for
:02:32. > :02:37.it to be sorted. The trust was warned to make improvement after
:02:37. > :02:40.inspections in February, but just last month Neil Adams's brother was
:02:41. > :02:45.discharged without any recognition of his vulnerability. Robert Adams,
:02:45. > :02:51.who has learning difficulties, had been taken to hospital by ambulance
:02:51. > :02:58.after a collapse. He was extremely vulnerable. He was left to walk
:02:58. > :03:03.home from Eastbourne to Seaford, 15 miles, in a pair of pyjamas. He had
:03:03. > :03:06.no mobile phone. By chance he was found by his nephew. It was also
:03:06. > :03:11.observed that patients did not always receive the help they needed
:03:11. > :03:14.to eat and drink. I would have thought that eating and drinking is
:03:15. > :03:20.something they really ought to look at, and think if they can't do that
:03:20. > :03:23.the patience, we really must be doing something wrong. But the
:03:23. > :03:28.Trust insists it has made improvements, and will continue to
:03:28. > :03:34.do so. We have moved on substantially in the areas they
:03:34. > :03:38.identified, and they have lifted to of the warning notices. They have
:03:38. > :03:44.identified that we have got further to do, but we have already shown
:03:44. > :03:48.that we can do this. And they have until 2nd September to prove that.
:03:48. > :03:51.Sara Smith joins us live from Hastings. What sort of sanctions
:03:52. > :03:55.could the trust be facing? commission says the trust has to
:03:55. > :04:01.make these urgent improvements by the deadline, or they could be
:04:01. > :04:04.fined or even prosecuted. They say the trust is failing to ensure the
:04:04. > :04:10.care and welfare of service users, failing to protect them against the
:04:10. > :04:13.risks of receiving unsafe or inappropriate care or treatment.
:04:13. > :04:18.The chief executive who we just heard from, he has been in place
:04:18. > :04:23.for a year, and he has another two months to turn things around. He
:04:23. > :04:26.has a very angry local MP who will be looking for heads to roll if
:04:26. > :04:29.those improvements are not made. Sara, thank you.
:04:29. > :04:32.Lightning strikes have started fires and caused damage at a number
:04:32. > :04:35.of homes across the South East. A man and woman had to be rescued
:04:35. > :04:38.from a property in Ashford after it caught fire just before two o'clock.

:04:59. > :05:02.quiet residential street now, but lightning struck at the bottom of

:05:32. > :05:36.of the man next door, which is so sad. But it seems to have come down
:05:36. > :05:41.the chimney stack and through the wall. I could smell smoke and
:05:41. > :05:45.burning, and my friend went upstairs to my computer room which
:05:45. > :05:51.was set alight, and it had come from the aerial. It had gone right
:05:51. > :05:56.down to the system. It was terrifying. Mark, what about

:06:49. > :06:51.just two days before he was due to stand trial for the murder of his

:07:22. > :07:28.jour -- the jury chose to flag up in court was that he had been given
:07:28. > :07:33.inadequate mental health support. Also prisoners can be locked up
:07:33. > :07:40.unobserved for too long overnight, especially at weekends. And razor

:07:56. > :08:00.second case of suicide with a razor blade that he had come across.

:09:41. > :09:46.moral issue about whether we should go out on strike, even if we have a
:09:46. > :09:50.very strong point, and leave our children without school that day.
:09:51. > :09:57.But teachers will be making a stand. We wanted a different way of
:09:57. > :10:01.approaching the issue. We are thoroughly concerned and heard by
:10:01. > :10:06.the proposed changes, but at the same time, we feel and understand
:10:06. > :10:09.that there is an obligation that we have towards the children.
:10:09. > :10:14.decided we wanted to make a protest in a different way, and we decided
:10:14. > :10:17.we would put together a letter to send to Michael Gove. We are going
:10:18. > :10:21.to ask our parents if they would be good enough to sign a petition

:10:33. > :10:38.striking, because it would be inconvenient, but I do agree with

:13:29. > :13:34.constantly looking for attention, and we want the dog that will sit

:21:03. > :21:06.professional comic just 18 months ago as a tribute to her late father,
:21:06. > :21:09.who thought she had the gift for making people laugh - and Angela
:21:09. > :21:12.Barnes from Brighton is already getting noticed on the comedy
:21:12. > :21:15.circuit. She's just won the much coveted BBC Radio Two New Comedy
:21:15. > :21:18.Award, which in the past has recognised the talents of Lee Mack,
:21:18. > :21:21.Rhod Gilbert and Alan Carr. Robin Gibson has been to meet her, and
:21:21. > :21:24.joins us now from Brighton. Robin, she's a Kent and Sussex girl
:21:24. > :21:31.through and through, isn't she? I think we will claim her as one of
:21:31. > :21:38.ours. She was a student here in Brighton. She still works here, so
:21:38. > :21:41.no stranger to venues like this one here. She still has a day job here,
:21:41. > :21:51.although after these awards, she may find herself in a lot of demand
:21:51. > :21:51.
:21:51. > :22:00.A giddy moment she still finds hard to accept. She only gave the
:22:00. > :22:05.competition a go at the last moment, with little or no expectations.
:22:05. > :22:08.have still not quite got my head around it. Suddenly around getting
:22:08. > :22:12.offered gigs that two weeks ago I would never have been offered,
:22:12. > :22:17.which is brilliant, and they get to play these clubs are no wanted to
:22:17. > :22:23.play for ages. I am 34, which I was absolutely
:22:23. > :22:26.fine about until I realised I had outlived five Blue Peter dog.
:22:26. > :22:34.worked hard for it, chasing standup dates in front of many... And not
:22:34. > :22:39.so many. She's still a very funny woman. Wherever I go and the
:22:39. > :22:47.country, they love Brighton. It is because we are so optimistic here.
:22:47. > :22:55.We sell buckets and spades. It is a She lives in Brighton and grew up
:22:55. > :23:01.in Maidstone, home turf. I love playing in Kent, because I am from
:23:01. > :23:06.Kent and have jokes about Kent. My dad used to come to all the comedy
:23:07. > :23:11.nights, and he would say, have a go, you do it. I would say no, I am too
:23:11. > :23:17.shy. Then I lost my dad very suddenly a few years ago, and it
:23:17. > :23:21.made me think, I should have just done it. So I signed up to a course
:23:21. > :23:24.in 2009, and six months later I started doing gigs.
:23:24. > :23:29.Some critics said in the male- dominated world of comedy she was a
:23:29. > :23:35.token gesture in the comedy awards final, but she showed them. This is
:23:35. > :23:39.really awesome. Thank you. A really popular winner here tonight. Well,
:23:39. > :23:43.a great talent and a very nice person. We put two in front of a
:23:43. > :23:48.microphone with just as in the room, and I have to say, she did have us
:23:48. > :23:52.in stitches. So, where can you catch up with the homecoming queen?
:23:52. > :23:55.She is in Hastings later this week, and next week back here behind me.
:23:55. > :23:59.So you could come and make your minds up.
:23:59. > :24:03.Thank you very much. Very mean to put her to the test! But she did
:24:03. > :24:06.make them laugh. Staff and pupils at a Kent school are spending the
:24:06. > :24:09.entire day in complete silence. The challenge of teaching 1,000 pupils
:24:09. > :24:12.without speaking at Maidstone Grammar School for Girls was staged
:24:12. > :24:22.to raise money for a new building and to highlight the importance of
:24:22. > :24:25.
:24:25. > :24:35.We could never do that, could we? It wouldn't work here. Now, the
:24:35. > :24:35.
:24:35. > :24:39.weather has been doing dramatic What a difference a day makes.
:24:39. > :24:43.Yesterday, are standing temperatures. Today, a different
:24:43. > :24:49.picture. I have received so many tweeds about the what the weather
:24:49. > :24:54.has been like way you are. It has been a case of short, sharp showers,
:24:54. > :25:04.some of the money 30 seconds but pretty dramatic, and a lot of
:25:04. > :25:08.thunder and lightning. Tonight,, and cooler. We should be seeing all
:25:08. > :25:12.of the thunder and lightning dying out. All of this heavy cloud has
:25:12. > :25:16.now cleared away, but we are still seeing a small amount around. That
:25:16. > :25:20.is going to mean still a few more showers to come, particularly
:25:20. > :25:25.towards Folkestone, but overnight it should be a pretty dry picture,
:25:25. > :25:31.becoming clear for many of us. Temperatures down to about 12
:25:31. > :25:36.Celsius, so quite a bit cooler. Tomorrow we will start to see a
:25:36. > :25:44.little bit of sunshine. Around the middle of the day, the clearest
:25:44. > :25:49.skies will occur, and then it will cloud over again. Those
:25:49. > :25:55.temperatures, only up to 21 Celsius, so quite a lot cooler then
:25:55. > :26:01.yesterday and today. Tomorrow night, cooler once again, a low of about
:26:02. > :26:07.ten Celsius. Clear Sky for most of us, and that will be how things
:26:07. > :26:12.will be over the next few days. High pressure in charge by Thursday,
:26:12. > :26:16.sitting across the south-west of England, but for us and the South
:26:16. > :26:20.East, there will be quite a bit of sunshine, although those
:26:20. > :26:24.temperatures really just not that impressive for this time of year.
:26:24. > :26:30.Yesterday was very hot, but it is a different -- different story for
:26:30. > :26:35.the next few days. There will be a little sunshine around, the odd
:26:35. > :26:38.shower creeping in by the evening. Come Thursday and Friday, a mixture
:26:38. > :26:41.of cloud and sunshine, but the weekend should bring us some
:26:41. > :26:50.writers sunshine, even though temperatures are really not up to
:26:50. > :26:54.much. And that is the weather for Not too bad, but it doesn't seem to
:26:54. > :26:57.know what it is doing. Well, let's recap tonight's top stories. David
:26:57. > :27:00.Cameron has urged thousands of public sector workers not to go on
:27:00. > :27:03.strike on Thursday. In a speech in Birmingham this afternoon, he said
:27:03. > :27:07.the proposed changes to their pensions were fair and essential. A
:27:07. > :27:12.hospital trust in Sussex has been given a warning to urgently improve
:27:12. > :27:15.patient care, or it could face prosecution. The Care Quality
:27:15. > :27:19.Commission has ruled that despite previous warnings Eastbourne
:27:19. > :27:22.District General and the Conquest Hospital in Hastings are still
:27:22. > :27:26.failing inessential standards of safety.
:27:26. > :27:31.And an artist from Canterbury has created an underwater world of
:27:31. > :27:33.concrete sculptures of the coast of Mexico. They include a VW Beetle
