Welcome to South East Today, I'm Polly Evans. And I'm Rob Smith. | :00:05. | :00:10. | |
Tonight's top stories... Families of soldiers killed in | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
afghanistan contact the police, concerned their phones may have | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
been hacked by the News of the World. | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
All 380 families have been three enough already. It should not | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
happen, it is despicable. The Bishop of Chichester announces | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
his retirement just weeks after admitting mistakes which left | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
children vulnerable to paedophile priests in Sussex. | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
Also in tonight's programme... An ASBO for the goose-stepping | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
pensioner from Sussex who hurled racist abuse at neighbours. | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
We're live with the details in Hove. Kent and Sussex show off their | :00:43. | :00:50. | |
colours at the Hampton Court flower show. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |

Commons favourite curry house in St Leonards. | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
Good evening. Families of South East soldiers killed in Afghanistan | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
have instructed the police and solicitors to investigate claims | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
that they may have had their phones hacked by a newspaper. The mother | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
of Guardsman Jamie Janes, who was from Sussex and was killed on foot | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
patrol in 2009, says she is very concerned to hear that her phone | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
could have been targeted by the News of the World. | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
And the parents of Corporal Oliver Dicketts, who was from Kent and | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
died in 2006, have called the situation disgusting. According to | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
reports in several newspapers, personal details of bereaved | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
relatives were found in the files of the private detective who | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
intercepted voicemail messages for the tabloid newspaper. Rebecca | :01:39. | :01:49. | |
:01:49. | :01:51. | ||
The death of Oliver Dicketts shattered his family. He was killed | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
when an RAF plane exploded in Afghanistan. Nearly five years on, | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
his parents say they were getting their lights back on track, but now | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
it - fresh paint. News that they could have been the victims of | :02:05. | :02:13. | |
phone hacking. The -- fresh pain. | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
The news last night, at that relatives of dead soldiers could be | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
involved in the News Of The World scandal, left him stunned. | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
It was a double take. I suddenly realised, that could be as. I was | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
revolted by the whole thing, I don't see how anyone could want to | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
do that to all the families, who have been through a hell of a lot | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
over the last five years. Every day this week, there have | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
been shocking new allegations. On Monday, there were reports that the | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
paper hacked into the mobile phone of Milly Dowler. On Tuesday, the | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
families of 7/7 victims and relatives of Holly Wells and | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
Jessica Chapman were told they could be on the list. And today | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
there were revelations that police officers were paid by News of the | :03:00. | :03:10. | |
:03:10. | :03:15. | ||
World. One mother, who hit the headlines | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
after the Prime Minister spelt her son, Jamie Janes's name wrong, also | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
was a victim. To be honest, I hope they get what | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
they deserve. No matter what went on between me and Gordon Brown at | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
the time, that was just in the weeks after my son had been killed. | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
This Sunday, the News Of The World will roll-off the press for the | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
last time, but MPs are still calling for action. | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
There has to be an investigation into the allegations and the people | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
involved. That carries on whether the News of the World is still | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
trading were not. Oliver Dicketts's family has asked | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
the police to investigate whether they are involved. There is talk of | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
compensation, but this family say that life goes on. | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Rebecca Barry is live in Horsmonden where the Dicketts family live. | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
Rebecca, what now for the Dicketts family? | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
It is fitting that I am standing beside the war memorial | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
commemorating the lives of those killed in the first and Second | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
World War has, because the News of the World was a very public | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
supporter of the Armed Forces. Because of that paper, or one | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
bereaved family is feeling fresh anguish. They have instructed their | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
of solicitor to find out if they bear on that list of people who had | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
had their phones hacked into. As you have heard, the News Of The | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
World will close after the Sunday, and that baby some satisfaction to | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
those who wanted to boycott the paper like those I met in | :04:45. | :04:55. | |
:04:55. | :04:56. | ||
Whitstable yesterday, but until then, the full extent of the | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
scandal -- until a full extent is exposed, many family see it will | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
not be able to rest. And many of you have been | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
commenting on our Facebook page about this story. We will read out | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
some of your comments later on in the programme. And of course you | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
can find out much about the phone hacking investigation on the BBC's | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
website and on our local radio The Anglican Bishop who last month | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
apologised for mistakes which left children vulnerable to paedophile | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
priests has announced he'll retire in April next year. The Diocese of | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
Chichester says Bishop John Hind's resignation is not unexpected. Our | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
Home Affairs Correspondent, Colin Campbell has the story. | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
The event was a poignant reminder... The Rt Rev Dr John Hind has served | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
11 years as the Bishop of Chichester. He said in a statement | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
he would miss the parish and people of the diocese Fredy much, but | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
needing the age of 67 feels the time is right for a new dish up to | :05:55. | :06:03. | |
takeover. -- a new Bishop to take over. | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
Two priests abuse a number of children in the 1970s and 1980s, | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
including Phil Johnson, targeted as a boy in Eastbourne. | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
When I initially heard the Bishop had announced his resignation, I | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
thought we had finally got somewhere and some that taking | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
responsibility for all of the appalling mistakes made at the | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
diocese, but then I found out that he is just retiring next year, and | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
it is not really a resignation at all. | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
The Baroness's report was highly critical of senior clergy, and also | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
said there was a failure to lead from the top. In May, Bishop John | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
Hind told me he excepted big mistakes had been made. | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
We are deeply and profoundly sorry for what happened and ashamed on | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
behalf of the church community. These things should never happen in | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
society, but particularly when they happened in the context of the | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
church, where people should feel safe and trusting and have their | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
Cuban dignity respected, it is doubly awful. | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
The Church says the Bishop's retirement announcement has nothing | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
to do with mistakes that left children vulnerable to paedophile | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
priests. He will step down in April next year. | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
Colin Campbell joins us live in the studio. As you said, the diocese | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
denies this announcement from the Bishop of Chichester has anything | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
to do with the child protection failings, but this comes at a time | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
when you're investigations are continuing. | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
Yes, the Church denies there is any connection between the announcement | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
today and that the child abuse scandal. The Bishop did not have to | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
retire until he was 70 years old, but over the last few weeks I have | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
been looking into claims there are significant inaccuracies in the | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
report commissioned by Bishop John Hind to get to the truth regarding | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
what was happening John Cotton and Colin Pritchard. There are | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
inaccuracies and the stakes within this report. I am trying now to | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
find out how this happened. -- and mistakes within this report. | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
In a moment... It's not champagne, its merret - | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
the Sussex vineyard campaigning for British sparkling wine to be | :08:16. | :08:23. | |
renamed after the Englishman who The Royal Bank of Scotland is being | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
criticised over plans to close an elderly care home in Kent. The | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
family of Lucy Clancey say they were told two weeks ago that she, | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
along with her fellow residents, would all have to leave the home in | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
Canterbury. It is one of three owned by the RBS Foundation, a | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
charity which provides homes for pensioners of the bank. More than | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
400,000 people in the UK live in care homes. It is estimated that | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
half of those over 65 can expect to pay out �20,000 in care costs | :08:50. | :09:00. | |
:09:00. | :09:04. | ||
before they die, but for one in 10 Following a review published on | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
Monday, there are recommendations that costs should be capped at | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
�35,000. Our political editor, Louise Stewart, reports. | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
82-year-old Lucy has lived at the care home in Canterbury for the | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
past six years. She expected to spend the rest of her days there, | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
but two weeks ago, she and her fellow residents were handed a | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
letter by the owners giving them three months' notice. | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
She is familiar with this place, she likes the place, she is | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
familiar and the people are fantastic, and finding anywhere as | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
good as this, I do not know. We never thought we would have to look. | :09:40. | :09:49. | |
The home is one of three owned by the RBS Foundation, who offer at | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
two accomplices to pensioners of the bank. Experts warned that it | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
could seriously affect health moving patients. | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
It can actually be quite life- threatening for them to change | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
their surroundings. In a statement, RBS said the | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
trustees had been concerned about continued financial losses and low | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
occupancy rates within the three care homes. They went on to say | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
they will continue to do everything possible to support them to read | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
the process. The oldest resident here is 101 | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
years old, the youngest in their eighties. They all now have to face | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
finding new homes by September or face being evicted. | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
There is a complete and utter absence of openness and | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
transparency, that is out raging, absolutely out raging, RBS | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
pensioners throughout the whole country. I am very concerned about | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
my mother who has been here seven years. She is 94 and has dementia. | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
If we cannot find a place for her within three months she will be | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
served with an eviction notice, and that is a disgraceful way to treat | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
a woman of 101. With the dull not report looking | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
into how we fund care in the longer term, the residents here face are | :11:09. | :11:17. | |
pressing problem in the short term Sussex Police are renewing their | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
appeal for help tracing a man in connection with two sex attacks in | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
Brighton. Posters are being put up in the Kemp Town area of the city. | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
It follows an attack on a 26-year- old woman in Park Street and | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
another on a 36-year-old woman in Upper Rock Gardens in June. | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
Kent County Council has been found guilty of maladministration over a | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
grammar school admissions panel described in an official report as | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
being hopelessly muddled. The local government ombudsman also found | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
several counts of maladministration against the admissions panel at | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
Tunbridge Wells Girls Grammar school last year. The situation was | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
so bad the ombudsman advised the school to never use one of Kent | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
An 80-year-old Sussex woman who hurled racist and homophobic abuse | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
at her neighbours in Hove has been given an anti-social behaviour | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
order. Brighton magistrates heard Edna Beck ranted at Polish | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
residents and a gay couple. Well let's cross to Brighton and our | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
reporter Sara Smith. Sara, I understand on one occasion Ms Beck | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
was seen goose-stepping behind a visitor and performed a Nazi salute | :12:16. | :12:25. | |
There is quite a list of some of the things she did. She was | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
shouting abuse at people, throwing bottles out of windows, setting off | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
fire alarms, scribbling on other people's paused, and apparently | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
goose stepping around visitors to the other flats and performing Nazi | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
salutes and shouting slogans. The Nat says seem to be a recurring | :12:42. | :12:52. | |
:12:52. | :12:56. | ||
theme, two of the neighbour' -- neighbour's children were terrified | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
of her. She had warnings from the council and from the police. In the | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
end, the magistrates here in Brighton imposed this ASBO. | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
What difference are they hoping it will make? | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
It will give a list of things she cannot do, actions that perhaps | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
could not individually be prosecuted, but on the whole have | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
made up this anti-social behaviour. If she breaks those conditions she | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
could face a fine or even go to prison. She has said she has issues | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
with alcohol and saw her behaviour as a jolt, but certainly the | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
neighbours have not been laughing and found it intimidating over the | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
years, and they will be waiting to see if the ASBO makes any | :13:37. | :13:46. | |
difference at all. Gridlock on Kent's roads, not | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
terrorism, is the biggest threat to the success of London 2012. That is | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
the view of a county emergency planner who believes that thousands | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
of spectators will flock to Ebbsfleet because journey times by | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
rail to the Olympic stadium are under 10 minutes. Peter Wittlesea | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
has out more. The Olympics are described as the | :14:00. | :14:09. | |
great show on earth. But to get to London 2012, many spectators from | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
Southern England and mainland Europe will travel through Kent. | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
The quickest route to the Stadium is by train from Ebbfleets station. | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
If this becomes the preferred choice it is feared the road | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
network will struggle to cope. Congestion, rather than terrorism, | :14:24. | :14:25. | |
is the main concern of Kent's Olympic planners. | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
I think it would be naive to suggest we can solve traffic | :14:28. | :14:35. | |
congestion. There cannot be another lane to the Btrue or the M2 built | :14:35. | :14:45. | |
in such a short time. -- the A2. We have to try to make sure we keep | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
Kent moving as best we can. It is believed the risk of | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
congestion in North Kent during the Olympics could be so acute that | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
tolls on the Dartford crossing could be suspended to easy traffic | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
flow around the M25 and M2. Ebbsfleet will become an Olympic | :14:56. | :15:04. | |
transport hub. With trains every five minutes during peak times. But | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
Highspeed One says it will cope with passenger demand. | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
We have a trains every hour in the shuttle service to St Pancras. We | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
up that could well trains per hour during what we know our busy | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
periods when people are exiting the games and when events finish at the | :15:21. | :15:29. | |
end of the day. We know that people use eggs laid for car parking, we | :15:29. | :15:39. | |
:15:39. | :15:41. | ||
have over 5,000 spaces. -- Ebbsfleet. | :15:41. | :15:48. | |
For Olympic emergency planners, this would be a nightmare. Kent's | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
Olympic team says it is their job to think the unthinkable to ensure | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
the county play its part in the success of London 2012. | :15:54. | :16:02. | |
Still to come... Broke his at the burning issue in | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
Parliament? Britain's best curry house - a restaurant in St Leonards. | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
And it has been mild and windy today, but not as wet as expected. | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
Does that mean the rain has saved itself for tonight and tomorrow? I | :16:17. | :16:27. | |
:16:27. | :16:28. | ||
will let you know in ten minutes' If you buy a bottle of sparkling | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
wine, chances are you will ask for champagne. But a Sussex vineyard is | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
starting a campaign for English sparkling wine to be known instead | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
as merret. Why? Well, the French claim that Champagne was invented | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
in 1697 by the monk Dom Pierre Perignon. Since 1891, only | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
sparkling wines made in the Champagne region using his methods | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
can bear the Champagne name. But there are those who believe the | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
method of producing its characteristic fizz was actually | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
invented by the Englishman Christopher Merret 35 years earlier. | :16:52. | :17:02. | |
:17:02. | :17:09. | ||
It looks like champagne, it pours like champagne, and to most of us | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
it probably tastes like champagne, too, but by law it has to be called | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
English sparkling wine. Let's do away with that clumsy title, says | :17:18. | :17:25. | |
this vineyard owner, and collared merret, instead. -- and call it | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
merret. It is believed it is named -- it is | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
called after the man believed to have invented the technique in 1662, | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
Christopher Merret. He published the paper in 166230 | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
years before Dom Perignon went to champagne. He describes how they | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
were drinking sparkling, effervescent wine. We presented | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
that to the Royal Society. There is plenty of evidence. Dr | :17:57. | :18:06. | |
merret paints a lively picture. Our wind uses large quantities of | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
sugar and molasses to make them brisker and sparkling... | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
So the idea goes, why not make merret a badge of honour for | :18:16. | :18:21. | |

The rock comes from the Cretaceous period. We had selected all the | :20:16. | :20:25. | |

Parliament this week, perhaps the most spicy debate took place in the | :21:46. | :21:55. | |
House of Commons restaurant last night. 12 finalists chosen from | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
curry houses right across the country battled it out in the | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
Commons restaurant to win the prestigious award for best South | :22:00. | :22:04. | |

Fresh produce, a unique family recipes, are loyal family of | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
customers who nominated this unassuming backstreet restaurant | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
for our national award. It is about real food. It is not bought in | :22:55. | :23:02. | |
sources, it is real. Most of these dishes I have never eaten anywhere | :23:02. | :23:08. | |
else, they are unique. The chef was the first woman ever | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
to compete in the parliamentary kick-off, and her signature dish | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
scored the most guests faults from the judges of MPs and celebrities. | :23:18. | :23:26. | |
Very happy! I can't believe that this Currie got the winner. I am so | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
happy. She is not actually the restaurant | :23:30. | :23:39. | |
group, she is a proper or made South Indian cook. My customers | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
feeling this is their own kitchen. It was the local MP who alerted the | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
host to this hidden gem of Hastings. It is always nice to have someone | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
who has made a tremendous effort having that quality organise, | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
although there will be some people in the community that will be | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
furious with me for letting out the secret that it is the best in the | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
country. And it has the award to prove it. | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
And I am delighted to say that I have the award here with this | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
evening. It looks pretty breakable, so I am a little nervous holding it, | :24:13. | :24:19. | |

More showers pushing through come up there have not been quite as | :25:06. | :25:14. | |
many, or as generous with the rain, but there will be some showers, | :25:14. | :25:21. | |
some quite heavy with showers. Some places could stay totally dry, but | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
we have quite a few showers at the moment, staying windy overnight | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
with temperatures down to dwell Celsius or 13 Celsius. Into | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
tomorrow, but again like today, some places goodness them entirely. | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
I think the morning is the best chance of getting that rain. By the | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
afternoon, the showers quickly blown out of the wave. We will even | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
see some sunshine and temperatures likely double the average. The main | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
feature over the next few others will be the winds, gusting up to 40 | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
mph through tomorrow. A very windy day for all of us. But, hold on to | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
your hats for a wedding, because Steve and Catherine are getting | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
married, congratulations to you. By the afternoon it should be dry and | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
sunny, but should be very windy. The winds will stay with us Until | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
Saturday, and we could get some heavy rain moving in on Friday | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
night into Saturday, but that is uncertain at the moment. By the | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
time we get to Saturday and Sunday, we will start to see the sunshine | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
