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

:00:05.:00:07.

Tonight's top stories. Jail for the lonely hearts conwoman

:00:07.:00:10.

who swindled tens of thousands of pounds out of men she met though

:00:10.:00:14.

adverts. People who feel isolated, looking for companionship, they

:00:14.:00:20.

were easy victims, unfortunately. Kent politicians target the News of

:00:20.:00:22.

the World over phone hacking allegations, organising protests to

:00:22.:00:28.

urge a boycott of the paper. Also in tonight's programme:

:00:28.:00:31.

Repaint it or lose it, the council ultimatum to the man who's given

:00:31.:00:36.

his beachhut a psychedelic makeover. We'll be reporting live from Hove

:00:36.:00:39.

seafront. CSI High Halden, the Kent company

:00:39.:00:48.

that's importing real American police cars. Bagpuss was wide awake.

:00:48.:00:51.

And the co-creator of that saggy old cloth cat, Peter Firmin, is

:00:51.:01:01.
:01:01.:01:08.

given the freedom of the city of Good evening. She lured men in

:01:08.:01:12.

through lonely hearts adverts in order to steal their money. A

:01:12.:01:15.

Sussex woman who swindled up to �100,000 out of the men she met,

:01:15.:01:19.

has been jailed for three years. 51-year-old Loraine Upritchard

:01:19.:01:22.

conned her latest victim, elderly widower James Saunders, out of

:01:22.:01:24.

thousands of pounds by telling the 81-year-old she was awaiting

:01:24.:01:34.

probate to be granted on her late aunt's estate. John Young reports.

:01:34.:01:37.

Finally add court late this afternoon, the woman who showed

:01:37.:01:41.

contempt to the lonely men she defended and indifference to the

:01:41.:01:46.

legal system itself. Arranged a Prichard had failed to turn up will

:01:46.:01:51.

send a team yesterday because of a hospital appointment, and failed to

:01:51.:01:54.

turn up at 2pm because she said her letter never arrive. The police had

:01:54.:02:01.

to fetch her. Once she arrived, the judge said, I will say this in none

:02:01.:02:05.

legal language. You are in my view, a wicked, despicable, gold-digging

:02:05.:02:11.

con artist who fleeced money of lonely old men. A pensioner for

:02:11.:02:15.

Eastbourne -- from Eastbourne was an early victim, James Saunders,

:02:15.:02:18.

was annexed. Police believe there could have been many others are too

:02:18.:02:28.
:02:28.:02:33.

embarrassed to come forward. Her The more she had in mind was money.

:02:33.:02:37.

She coaxed them into loans for medical bills, or simply stole the

:02:37.:02:43.

Czechs. What is more, the court heard, she would not stop doing it.

:02:43.:02:47.

In 2007 she was given a community order, was jailed later when she

:02:47.:02:50.

broke out order or whilst simultaneously deceiving her next

:02:50.:02:57.

victim, Mr Saunders. It is all too common. Spot the signs, if someone

:02:57.:03:01.

is asking for money early on, if you do not know them, asks someone

:03:01.:03:08.

you trust first. Loraine Uprichard said there was little she could say

:03:08.:03:13.

in her defence, except that she was have -- having medical problems,

:03:13.:03:22.

did eventually plead guilty and realised she must be punished.

:03:22.:03:25.

Is Mr Saunders likely to ever see his money again?

:03:25.:03:29.

Put bluntly, no. This is perhaps the saddest part of this whole case.

:03:29.:03:35.

James Saunders, the 81 year-old gentleman from Haywards Heath is

:03:35.:03:39.

�11,000 out of pocket. She has -- he has sued debts and has had to

:03:39.:03:47.

sell his car. It was discussed whether it compensation order would

:03:47.:03:53.

be appropriate, but the judge said, she herself had no money. The

:03:53.:03:56.

elderly money has lost what he thought was a good friendship and

:03:56.:03:59.

also his savings. A group of Kent politicians are

:03:59.:04:01.

organising protests outside retailers selling the News of the

:04:01.:04:03.

World in a targeted campaign against Rupert Murdoch's newspaper

:04:03.:04:07.

group, as the police investigate allegations of phone hacking. The

:04:07.:04:09.

local Labour Party group in Canterbury and Whitstable is

:04:09.:04:12.

calling on members to protest at several venues this weekend, to

:04:12.:04:17.

encourage shoppers to boycott the tabloid. And tonight a senior

:04:17.:04:20.

Sussex MP urged the Government to suspend the planned NewsCorp

:04:20.:04:30.
:04:30.:04:30.

takeover of BSkyB while the police investigate. Rebecca Barry reports.

:04:30.:04:35.

The swell of anger is spreading. As the controversy over phone hacking

:04:35.:04:40.

at the News of the World refuses to die down. Please do not buy the

:04:40.:04:43.

News of the world. Here in Whitstable they are planning a

:04:43.:04:46.

boycott of the tabloid, with protests outside newsagents and

:04:46.:04:51.

supermarkets. The message we want to send it is that you can make a

:04:51.:04:55.

difference as individuals, do not buy the News of the world.

:04:55.:04:59.

Sunday, anyone calling into this newsagent to pick up their weekly

:04:59.:05:03.

copy of the News of the World will be met with protests outside.

:05:03.:05:06.

Organisers say they want to hit the paper where it hurts. I would not

:05:06.:05:10.

buy it after the scandal, I think it is appalling. I don't think I

:05:10.:05:14.

will buy the News of the world again, I can't believe a word they

:05:14.:05:19.

say down. Four people to get together and show there is a

:05:19.:05:24.

protest, it is very good. So what is it all about? In 2007, Clive

:05:24.:05:29.

Goodman, run editor at the News of the World, and Glenn Mulcaire,

:05:29.:05:33.

private investigation -- private investigator, were jailed for

intercepting phone messages. After repeated criticism of the police

:05:37.:05:41.

inquiry, the met announced in the investigation this year. In April,

:05:41.:05:44.

the News International admitted liability in a number of cases

:05:45.:05:48.

involving celebrities. This week it has emerged murdered schoolgirl

:05:48.:05:53.

Milly Dowler's were smells made have been hacked, along with stones

:05:53.:05:57.

-- a voice mails may have been hacked, along with victims of the

:05:57.:06:04.

seven hat -- 7/7 attacks, the so murders and Milly -- Madeline

:06:04.:06:13.

This Kent-based former News of the World journalist is defending the

:06:13.:06:16.

paper. I would estimate at least 10% of the population have hacked

:06:16.:06:21.

into someone's own. Conceivably your broth and may have seemed --

:06:21.:06:24.

hacked into yours to see if you're having an affair, it is so easy to

:06:24.:06:30.

do. With several major advertisers considering withdrawing support, it

:06:31.:06:37.

seems the surge of disapproval is trickling down to consumers.

:06:37.:06:41.

Our political Editor his life for us in Westminster. I understand

:06:41.:06:45.

more significant developments this evening, Sussex MP Nicholas Soames

:06:45.:06:51.

is calling for specific action? That right. A very lively debate

:06:51.:06:57.

here in the Commons this afternoon, and the Mid Sussex MP, that

:06:57.:06:59.

Conservative member for Mid Sussex Nicholas Soames, he is urging the

:06:59.:07:03.

government to take a pause, as he put it, before going any further

:07:03.:07:06.

with proceeding with News Corporation's bid to take over

:07:06.:07:12.

BSkyB. Would not due process also include now, given that there is

:07:12.:07:18.

clear evidence of serious criminality on the part of some

:07:18.:07:23.

people at News International, off in any event without necessarily

:07:23.:07:28.

referring to the Competition Commission, to calling a Paul's

:07:28.:07:38.
:07:38.:07:38.

pending further evidence? What impact will this integration have?

:07:38.:07:42.

You heard there, Tim Luckhurst, a professor of journalism say,

:07:42.:07:45.

although it is a different issue, the BSkyB buyout and a phone

:07:45.:07:50.

hacking scandal, there must now be an inquiry. Government sources say

:07:50.:07:55.

they cannot have this pause because if they do, it could leave them

:07:55.:07:58.

open to called of a judicial review from News Corporation. At the

:07:58.:08:01.

moment, the government is saying they will be no pause but calls for

:08:01.:08:07.

an inquiry are inquiring -- increasing. You can find out much

:08:07.:08:10.

more about the phone hacking investigation on the BBC's website.

:08:10.:08:20.
:08:20.:08:22.

In a moment: Find out why the dry The owner of a beach hut on Hove

:08:22.:08:25.

seafront painted in psychedelic colours has been told to repaint it

:08:25.:08:28.

in green and burgundy within two weeks, or face having it taken away

:08:28.:08:33.

from him. There are strict rules on the colouring of the beach huts and

:08:33.:08:36.

a long waiting list for people wanting to have one. Ria Chatterjee

:08:36.:08:43.

is on Hove seafront now. The council are not impressed with the

:08:43.:08:49.

multi-coloured makeover? As you can see, they have actually

:08:49.:08:53.

posted a breach of licence notice on the House -- on the heart itself.

:08:53.:09:00.

It says if the hut had not been repeated and by 4pm next Monday,

:09:00.:09:05.

they will proceed to serve notice determining the licence.

:09:06.:09:10.

-- to terminate the licence. Uniform in size and colour, apart

:09:10.:09:14.

from the one which is breaking ranks and causing a bit of

:09:14.:09:18.

controversy. The owner received a letter from the council telling him

:09:18.:09:23.

to spruce up his heart. What they were expecting was a lick of paint,

:09:23.:09:28.

at the very most. So many people down here love it, they think it is

:09:28.:09:31.

an inspiration, they wonder why they can't do the same. It is

:09:31.:09:38.

cheerful, it is bright. It is very bright and very Hove. Abbey cut

:09:38.:09:43.

like this would set you back about drug �1,000. -- a beach hut like

:09:43.:09:48.

this. But the council still own the land and lease it to the owner,

:09:48.:09:55.

which means the owner has to stick to the council colour scheme, which

:09:55.:09:58.

is green and dark cherry. It has certainly been grabbing the

:09:58.:10:03.

attention of people passing by. doors are wonderful, multi-

:10:03.:10:05.

coloured doors. I think it's something like this were to go on

:10:05.:10:12.

and everybody got the idea, it would look a bit odd. Everyone who

:10:12.:10:16.

bought one at all rents one knows they have to keep it in keeping

:10:16.:10:22.

with all the other beach huts, a soap it has gone over the top. But

:10:22.:10:26.

it looks very nice, it would look lovely every -- somewhere else.

:10:26.:10:30.

This is Brighton, it is one known for being out there and different

:10:30.:10:36.

and quirky and unique. That is what Brian is. The council says this --

:10:36.:10:43.

the standard colours blend in with a seascape, so should they change

:10:43.:10:47.

their policy? I think they should, but I believe there are nearly 500

:10:47.:10:51.

of these lovely beach huts. If they open the floodgates, it could look

:10:51.:10:56.

like a load of graffiti at the end of the day. So it seems this beach

:10:56.:11:02.

hut will be relinquishing its rebellious roads and falling in

:11:02.:11:06.

line once again. Geoff says he thinks it would be a

:11:06.:11:09.

shame to paid over this, that it should be preserved. As the owner,

:11:09.:11:15.

he is free to sell it, so he's thinking of putting it on eBay.

:11:16.:11:19.

You can always painted differently on the inside!

:11:19.:11:22.

A man has been jailed after he admitted swallowing 101 packets of

:11:22.:11:25.

cocaine and attempting to smuggle them through the port of Dover. 47-

:11:25.:11:28.

year-old Kingsley Nwaneku from London was sentenced to eight and a

:11:28.:11:31.

half years in jail. The packets weighed 1.27 kilos and had a street

:11:31.:11:36.

value of �280,000. Figures released by a health

:11:36.:11:39.

watchdog have revealed Medway NHS has one of the worst records for

:11:39.:11:43.

patients suffering from bedsores. Using NHS data, the research

:11:43.:11:49.

company Dr Foster found Medway NHS was the second worst in the country.

:11:49.:11:51.

The hospital challenged the findings saying the figures didn't

:11:51.:11:53.

distinguish between hospital- acquired bedsores and those

:11:53.:11:58.

acquired by patients treated at home.

:11:58.:12:01.

The Trust running Kent's newest hospital says there's been a big

:12:01.:12:06.

demand from expectant mothers wanting to use its maternity unit.

:12:07.:12:09.

Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust says it's opening an extra

:12:09.:12:13.

room in the delivery suite at Pembury Hospital in Tunbridge Wells.

:12:13.:12:15.

A similar facility in Maidstone will be closed. Campaigners are

:12:15.:12:17.

fighting to keep consultant-led maternity services in the county

:12:27.:12:29.

town. Homeowners across the south-east

:12:29.:12:32.

are being plagued by unusually high numbers of wasps this year, with

:12:32.:12:36.

the dry spring weather giving the insects a flying start. But the wet

:12:36.:12:39.

June seems to have had the opposite effect on the butterfly population,

:12:39.:12:42.

with numbers significantly down. So far in the south-east it's been an

:12:42.:12:44.

unusual year weather-wise. Springtime was the driest on record.

:12:44.:12:48.

In April just 1 mm of rain fell in some places, less than 10% of the

:12:48.:12:51.

average. But that was in stark contrast to June, which saw 149%

:12:51.:12:53.

more rainfall compared with the monthly average. Our environment

:12:53.:13:00.

correspondent Yvette Austin has this report.

:13:00.:13:05.

A hole in the ground, a perfect nest site for wasps. Each time you

:13:06.:13:11.

get stung by a wasp, it gets worse. One sting can make your hand double

in size, if you get stung on the neck, you can stop breathing.

:13:15.:13:20.

are good for the garden, helping pollination and eating green fly.

:13:20.:13:24.

But near houses can be a pest and Paul says this year they are

:13:24.:13:28.

thriving. They are nests a much more active at this time of year

:13:28.:13:32.

than we would normally expect. We are getting many more calls, double

:13:32.:13:36.

the number of calls this year than we had in June last year. People

:13:36.:13:41.

are seeing the much earlier, the nests are much larger. Which is why

:13:41.:13:45.

Jane has called in the pet controllers. She is allergic to

:13:45.:13:50.

vesting and for her, just one is life-threatening. The first time, I

:13:50.:13:54.

came out in great wields come a could not breathe, the mother and -

:13:54.:13:59.

- my mother rushed me to doctors and I was injected. Each time I was

:14:00.:14:04.

stung it got worse and worse than so now I have to carry medicines I

:14:04.:14:10.

can inject myself in a hurry. Whilst the wasps are busy building

:14:10.:14:13.

on a successful early start due to the dry spring, it is a different

:14:13.:14:18.

story for butterflies. This time last year, there were hundreds of

:14:18.:14:24.

butterflies here. Last year, I it filmed lots of different

:14:24.:14:27.

butterflies, the normal common ones that you see, the Peacock, the

:14:27.:14:34.

little red admiral and the tortoise shell. Have you can see now, there

:14:34.:14:39.

are absolutely... It is like a ghost tone -- ghost town. As for

:14:39.:14:43.

the honey bee, this year has been mixed. There were unprecedented

:14:43.:14:46.

amounts of honey collected at the beginning, but the dry weather and

:14:46.:14:50.

resulting lack of nectar took its toll and resulted in so-called

:14:51.:15:00.
:15:01.:15:04.

DTB's. -- tetchy bees. People found that there were no stores of honey

:15:04.:15:07.

for the bees to feed on, so they have been having to feed their bees,

:15:07.:15:15.

they do not normally have to do that. Scientists look upon the Look

:15:15.:15:20.

North -- the like of wasps and bees as important indicators to what is

:15:20.:15:23.

happening in the environment, they will look at this year with

:15:23.:15:29.

interest. The top story tonight. A Sussex

:15:29.:15:32.

woman who conned hundreds of thousands of pounds out of elderly

:15:32.:15:38.

men she met through lonely hearts ads has been jailed for three years.

:15:38.:15:46.

Loraine up Prichard told 181 year- old victim she was waiting for

He's widely remembered in Brighton and elsewhere as a colourful,

:16:30.:16:34.

loveable royal rogue. A collection of larger than life George IV

:16:34.:16:39.

characters dating back to the 1700s portray him as just that. The

:16:39.:16:43.

images on show in Brighton Museum are part of a request by the former

:16:43.:16:46.

government minister Lord Baker who's a bit of a fan. Robin Gibson

:16:46.:16:56.
:16:56.:17:07.

It was a time when offences Against the State were still punishable by

:17:07.:17:11.

death. But looking at these, you get the impression that even a

:17:12.:17:16.

royal like George was allowed to have no secrets, and openly mocking

:17:16.:17:20.

him was fair game. I think they have a tumour but also an

:17:20.:17:26.

intelligent about them, and give a very complex image of the political

:17:26.:17:32.

and social life in the Regency era -- I think they have a humour. It

:17:32.:17:38.

is a good image of George, but it is sometimes very rude. None of his

:17:38.:17:42.

blushes were spared, his many affairs, his squandering of public

:17:42.:17:49.

money and his flamboyant of Scottishness. -- his flamboyant

:17:49.:17:57.

foppish this. He bought up every caricature of himself, and every

:17:57.:18:02.

edition, to prevent them from being distributed. They are hugely

:18:02.:18:05.

sought-after today. These pictures came from the private collection of

:18:05.:18:11.

Lord Baker who has written a book about what he sees -- as extreme

:18:11.:18:16.

paparazzi, and he should know as a former government minister. Various

:18:16.:18:22.

targets are depicted as vomiting, urinating, defecating, spitting,

:18:22.:18:26.

everything. There are bare bottoms and bare breasts. It is very

:18:26.:18:33.

explicit. There was no censorship. In France, there was censorship,

:18:55.:18:59.

issues here that have never gone away. Freedom of information,

:18:59.:19:03.

intrusiveness, privacy. All the things we remember George for, it

is amazing the super injunction is As all-American...

:19:21.:19:26.

We were shocked to their! We were so shocked.

:19:26.:19:29.

From the Dukes of Hazzard to Hill Street Blues to NYPD Blue, American

:19:29.:19:33.

cop cars have always held something of a fascination for us over here.

:19:33.:19:36.

Bigger, flashier, noisier than any motor you'll find on The Bill. Now

:19:36.:19:39.

a Kent company is offering the chance for people to live out their

:19:39.:19:42.

fantasy of driving a real American police car by selling real American

:19:42.:19:52.

police cars. Caroline Feraday has been to see them.

:19:52.:19:56.

As all-American as the hamburger. The Ford -- the Ford Police

:19:56.:20:00.

Interceptor, a cop car, not exactly what you expect to find in the

:20:01.:20:04.

heart of the Kent countryside where this company is importing and

:20:04.:20:08.

restoring them. They have been used by sheriffs, state troopers, the

:20:08.:20:13.

police over their. And inside you have the genuine light consols, the

:20:13.:20:19.

PA systems, they do not just look good, they sound good. They have

:20:19.:20:23.

100 visible air horns. The lights all work on them. They are

:20:23.:20:28.

incredible cars to here as well as look at. I have found a really good

:20:28.:20:38.
:20:38.:20:44.

You have got to get used to sitting on the wrong side, but it is

:20:44.:20:48.

automatic, easy to drive, and you do not have to put your foot on the

:20:48.:20:53.

accelerator much to feel there is a lot of poker on the bonnet. Before

:20:53.:21:00.

0.6 litre engine, to be exact, -- a 4.6 litre engine, and in theory it

:21:01.:21:05.

could run on ethanol and therefore cooking oil. From Beverly Hills Cop

:21:05.:21:15.

Later on tonight, it will start to tickle the far west of the region.

the majority of us, it will be dry overnight. Still breezy with cloud

most of us are seeing more rain, on and off, mostly on rather than off.

Lots of showers, some had become a three tomorrow. Still quite gusty

Sunny spells, the wind will be lighter, and temperatures will be

starting to creep above average. Rain for the next couple of days
