:00:10. > :00:14.who swindled tens of thousands of pounds out of men she met though
:00:14. > :00:20.adverts. People who feel isolated, looking for companionship, they

:01:15. > :01:19.Sussex woman who swindled up to �100,000 out of the men she met,
:01:19. > :01:22.has been jailed for three years. 51-year-old Loraine Upritchard
:01:22. > :01:24.conned her latest victim, elderly widower James Saunders, out of

:01:37. > :01:41.Finally add court late this afternoon, the woman who showed
:01:41. > :01:46.contempt to the lonely men she defended and indifference to the
:01:46. > :01:51.legal system itself. Arranged a Prichard had failed to turn up will
:01:51. > :01:54.send a team yesterday because of a hospital appointment, and failed to
:01:54. > :02:01.turn up at 2pm because she said her letter never arrive. The police had
:02:01. > :02:05.to fetch her. Once she arrived, the judge said, I will say this in none
:02:05. > :02:11.legal language. You are in my view, a wicked, despicable, gold-digging
:02:11. > :02:15.con artist who fleeced money of lonely old men. A pensioner for
:02:15. > :02:18.Eastbourne -- from Eastbourne was an early victim, James Saunders,

:02:37. > :02:43.She coaxed them into loans for medical bills, or simply stole the

:02:47. > :02:50.In 2007 she was given a community order, was jailed later when she
:02:50. > :02:57.broke out order or whilst simultaneously deceiving her next
:02:57. > :03:01.victim, Mr Saunders. It is all too common. Spot the signs, if someone
:03:01. > :03:08.is asking for money early on, if you do not know them, asks someone
:03:08. > :03:13.you trust first. Loraine Uprichard said there was little she could say
:03:13. > :03:22.in her defence, except that she was have -- having medical problems,
:03:22. > :03:25.did eventually plead guilty and realised she must be punished.
:03:25. > :03:29.Is Mr Saunders likely to ever see his money again?
:03:29. > :03:35.Put bluntly, no. This is perhaps the saddest part of this whole case.
:03:35. > :03:39.James Saunders, the 81 year-old gentleman from Haywards Heath is
:03:39. > :03:47.�11,000 out of pocket. She has -- he has sued debts and has had to
:03:47. > :03:53.sell his car. It was discussed whether it compensation order would
:03:53. > :03:56.be appropriate, but the judge said, she herself had no money. The
:03:56. > :03:59.elderly money has lost what he thought was a good friendship and
:03:59. > :04:01.also his savings. A group of Kent politicians are

:04:12. > :04:17.calling on members to protest at several venues this weekend, to
:04:17. > :04:20.encourage shoppers to boycott the tabloid. And tonight a senior

:04:35. > :04:40.The swell of anger is spreading. As the controversy over phone hacking
:04:40. > :04:43.at the News of the World refuses to die down. Please do not buy the
:04:43. > :04:46.News of the world. Here in Whitstable they are planning a
:04:46. > :04:51.boycott of the tabloid, with protests outside newsagents and
:04:51. > :04:55.supermarkets. The message we want to send it is that you can make a

:04:59. > :05:03.Sunday, anyone calling into this newsagent to pick up their weekly
:05:03. > :05:06.copy of the News of the World will be met with protests outside.
:05:06. > :05:10.Organisers say they want to hit the paper where it hurts. I would not
:05:10. > :05:14.buy it after the scandal, I think it is appalling. I don't think I
:05:14. > :05:19.will buy the News of the world again, I can't believe a word they
:05:19. > :05:24.say down. Four people to get together and show there is a
:05:24. > :05:29.protest, it is very good. So what is it all about? In 2007, Clive

:07:45. > :07:50.although it is a different issue, the BSkyB buyout and a phone
:07:50. > :07:55.hacking scandal, there must now be an inquiry. Government sources say
:07:55. > :07:58.they cannot have this pause because if they do, it could leave them
:07:58. > :08:01.open to called of a judicial review from News Corporation. At the
:08:01. > :08:07.moment, the government is saying they will be no pause but calls for
:08:07. > :08:10.an inquiry are inquiring -- increasing. You can find out much
:08:10. > :08:20.more about the phone hacking investigation on the BBC's website.

:08:28. > :08:33.in green and burgundy within two weeks, or face having it taken away
:08:33. > :08:36.from him. There are strict rules on the colouring of the beach huts and
:08:36. > :08:43.a long waiting list for people wanting to have one. Ria Chatterjee
:08:43. > :08:49.is on Hove seafront now. The council are not impressed with the
:08:49. > :08:53.multi-coloured makeover? As you can see, they have actually
:08:53. > :09:00.posted a breach of licence notice on the House -- on the heart itself.
:09:00. > :09:05.It says if the hut had not been repeated and by 4pm next Monday,

:09:10. > :09:14.-- to terminate the licence. Uniform in size and colour, apart
:09:14. > :09:18.from the one which is breaking ranks and causing a bit of
:09:18. > :09:23.controversy. The owner received a letter from the council telling him
:09:23. > :09:28.to spruce up his heart. What they were expecting was a lick of paint,
:09:28. > :09:31.at the very most. So many people down here love it, they think it is
:09:31. > :09:38.an inspiration, they wonder why they can't do the same. It is

:09:48. > :09:55.this. But the council still own the land and lease it to the owner,
:09:55. > :09:58.which means the owner has to stick to the council colour scheme, which
:09:58. > :10:03.is green and dark cherry. It has certainly been grabbing the

:10:22. > :10:26.with all the other beach huts, a soap it has gone over the top. But

:10:30. > :10:36.This is Brighton, it is one known for being out there and different
:10:36. > :10:43.and quirky and unique. That is what Brian is. The council says this --
:10:43. > :10:47.the standard colours blend in with a seascape, so should they change
:10:47. > :10:51.their policy? I think they should, but I believe there are nearly 500
:10:51. > :10:56.of these lovely beach huts. If they open the floodgates, it could look
:10:56. > :11:02.like a load of graffiti at the end of the day. So it seems this beach
:11:02. > :11:06.hut will be relinquishing its rebellious roads and falling in
:11:06. > :11:09.line once again. Geoff says he thinks it would be a
:11:09. > :11:15.shame to paid over this, that it should be preserved. As the owner,

:12:39. > :12:42.June seems to have had the opposite effect on the butterfly population,
:12:42. > :12:44.with numbers significantly down. So far in the south-east it's been an
:12:44. > :12:48.unusual year weather-wise. Springtime was the driest on record.
:12:48. > :12:51.In April just 1 mm of rain fell in some places, less than 10% of the
:12:51. > :12:53.average. But that was in stark contrast to June, which saw 149%

:13:24. > :13:28.But near houses can be a pest and Paul says this year they are
:13:28. > :13:32.thriving. They are nests a much more active at this time of year
:13:32. > :13:36.than we would normally expect. We are getting many more calls, double
:13:36. > :13:41.the number of calls this year than we had in June last year. People
:13:41. > :13:45.are seeing the much earlier, the nests are much larger. Which is why

:14:04. > :14:10.stung it got worse and worse than so now I have to carry medicines I
:14:10. > :14:13.can inject myself in a hurry. Whilst the wasps are busy building
:14:13. > :14:18.on a successful early start due to the dry spring, it is a different
:14:18. > :14:24.story for butterflies. This time last year, there were hundreds of
:14:24. > :14:27.butterflies here. Last year, I it filmed lots of different
:14:27. > :14:34.butterflies, the normal common ones that you see, the Peacock, the
:14:34. > :14:39.little red admiral and the tortoise shell. Have you can see now, there
:14:39. > :14:43.are absolutely... It is like a ghost tone -- ghost town. As for
:14:43. > :14:46.the honey bee, this year has been mixed. There were unprecedented
:14:46. > :14:50.amounts of honey collected at the beginning, but the dry weather and
:14:51. > :15:00.resulting lack of nectar took its toll and resulted in so-called
:15:01. > :15:04.
:15:04. > :15:07.DTB's. -- tetchy bees. People found that there were no stores of honey
:15:07. > :15:15.for the bees to feed on, so they have been having to feed their bees,
