:00:08. > :00:10.Welcome to South East Today. Tonight's top stories:
:00:10. > :00:20.A BBC investigation exposes significant inaccuracies in a
:00:20. > :00:21.
:00:21. > :00:25.church report into paedophile priests in Sussex. If I had meant
:00:25. > :00:30.there had been concerns then I would not have let him at minister
:00:30. > :00:35.within the churches. I think the report is completely discredited.
:00:35. > :00:38.There are so many errors that have been illustrated.
:00:38. > :00:41.Also in tonight's programme: Two keepers are mauled by a cheetah
:00:42. > :00:49.at a Kent wild animal park as they attempt to prove how friendly they
:00:49. > :00:57.are. The London Wonderground and other
:00:57. > :01:00.forgotten works of art, the rediscovered genius of Max Gill.
:01:00. > :01:03.And it is the eve of the Open with hundreds of thousands expected to
:01:03. > :01:13.descend on East Kent. And see how Strictly's Len Goodman
:01:13. > :01:21.
:01:21. > :01:24.got on when he played the famous Good evening. It was a report that
:01:24. > :01:26.was supposed to shine a light on child protection failings within
:01:26. > :01:28.the Anglican Church. But an investigation by BBC South East
:01:28. > :01:31.Today can reveal there are significant inaccuracies within the
:01:31. > :01:37.Historic Cases Review conducted by former High Court judge Baroness
:01:37. > :01:42.Elizabeth Butler Sloss. The review was commissioned to assess how the
:01:42. > :01:44.cases of two paedophile priests were handled. But evidence we have
:01:44. > :01:47.unearthed appears to show that two Bishops provided incorrect
:01:47. > :01:57.information to the inquiry. Our Home Affairs Correspondent has the
:01:57. > :01:58.
:01:58. > :02:07.story. It was an inquiry that should have
:02:07. > :02:11.revealed the truth. How he a file priests avoided just us. How a
:02:11. > :02:18.convicted sex offender remained in the ministry. But we found that the
:02:18. > :02:24.report contains significant errors. There are so many errors that had
:02:24. > :02:29.been clearly illustrated by the investigation by the BBC that I
:02:29. > :02:37.think it has lost all credibility. I am not sure what I Camberley. I
:02:37. > :02:45.do not have no if I can believe any of the report. -- can believe. If
:02:45. > :02:52.there are any mistakes, do I believe the rest? I do not know.
:02:52. > :03:00.Rake-off then went on to abuse 10 boys after being first arrested in
:03:00. > :03:02.the 60s. He retired in 1989 after a failed police investigation. But a
:03:02. > :03:09.bishop in Lewis gave him permission to continue with his priestly
:03:09. > :03:15.duties. He told the judge that he was not concern because there was a
:03:15. > :03:21.lack of contact with children. The Reverend accepts that the man was
:03:21. > :03:26.not in good health. But he was still working with three different
:03:26. > :03:31.churches with constant access to children. When I met him in the
:03:31. > :03:36.church he was celebrating and preaching what we call presiding.
:03:36. > :03:41.They were on a Sunday morning, which is the highest attendance,
:03:41. > :03:51.and as I said earlier, there were children present. It was the full
:03:51. > :03:52.
:03:52. > :03:56.works as it were. Another bishop appears to have told the judge but
:03:56. > :04:00.he was still permitted to celebrate communion in the nursing home where
:04:00. > :04:07.he was living. But it was discovered that for a coffin was
:04:07. > :04:13.not living in a nursing home in 1989. The judge heard that he did
:04:13. > :04:23.not go into a nursing home until 2001. But on Valentine's Day 2002
:04:23. > :04:25.
:04:25. > :04:34.he conducted a wedding in Sussex. It was Reverend Duncan Lloyd James
:04:34. > :04:42.who took over for him Hu spot the inaccuracies. -- who spotted the
:04:42. > :04:46.inaccuracies. The judge said that there is no evidence that he was an
:04:46. > :04:55.ministering anywhere other than the nursing home but that is not true.
:04:55. > :05:02.He was not even a in a nursing home in the first days of his retirement.
:05:02. > :05:08.He had retired to a bungalow in East Sussex. It is the same village
:05:08. > :05:18.where fellow paedophile priest Colin Pritchard was living and

:05:58. > :06:04.working but this was not mentioned He told Baroness -- the judge: It
:06:04. > :06:10.would have been game set and match. If the judge had known that this
:06:10. > :06:15.was a previous matter, you have got someone who had already been
:06:15. > :06:20.convicted of a tile sexual offence and was now facing allegations from
:06:20. > :06:28.two other people. -- child sexual offence. That information should
:06:28. > :06:33.have been shared. In May 2001 rate cuts and was asked to fill out a
:06:33. > :06:39.child protection form. It is said that this was the first time he
:06:39. > :06:44.knew of the connection. The judge said that he should have been
:06:44. > :06:49.immediately suspended but it is said that he went into a nursing
:06:49. > :06:53.home in 2001 which is untrue. A decision was taken to continue in
:06:53. > :06:59.the home but with severe restrictions. But that is also
:06:59. > :07:04.untrue as he was not in a nursing home until 2003. What is worrying
:07:04. > :07:10.that -- is that nobody seems informed that he posed a risk,
:07:10. > :07:15.including the priest that took over for him. It would have helped to
:07:15. > :07:20.have known given that I have the responsibility for the Church. I
:07:20. > :07:27.would not have allowed him to minister within the Church that was
:07:27. > :07:33.under my care. The judge identified Bishop Wallis then as negligent in
:07:33. > :07:39.her review but at the time she was on if aware of his blunders. -- she
:07:39. > :07:44.was unaware of his blunders. There were multiple allegations against
:07:44. > :07:47.him and a conviction. For Our Home Affairs Correspondent he
:07:47. > :07:56.joins me now I understand the dioscese now accept that Roy Cotton
:07:56. > :08:02.did not go into a nursing home until 2003? Yes, but they have also
:08:02. > :08:11.revealed that he was officiating on at least two different occasions in
:08:12. > :08:16.Sussex between 1999 and 2002 when he was said to be in a nursing home.
:08:16. > :08:21.We are obviously sending all of the information in our findings on to
:08:21. > :08:25.the judge and are awaiting a response. The bishop has been
:08:25. > :08:30.unavailable for comment today but we were told some days ago that he
:08:30. > :08:36.stands by his recollected account given to the judge. There has been
:08:36. > :08:40.an apology from the Bishop of Chichester? Yes, he told me during
:08:40. > :08:46.an interview in May that Colin Pritchard, who was jailed for
:08:46. > :08:51.abusing boys, had not been in any jails since 2007. We have found
:08:51. > :08:55.that that is untrue. The Bishop of Chichester says that he apologises
:08:55. > :09:01.unreservedly if he said anything that was misleading. The victims of
:09:02. > :09:04.a boy caught and say that they have lost trust in the Bishop and are
:09:04. > :09:07.calling for resignations. In a moment:
:09:07. > :09:15.And end to discards? Small boat fishermen welcome EU plans to end
:09:15. > :09:18.the practice. A father of two toddlers who were
:09:19. > :09:22.suffocated and locked in the boot of their mother's car broke down in
:09:22. > :09:24.court as he described the last time he saw them alive. The bodies of
:09:25. > :09:27.three-year-old Harry and two-year- old Elise were found inside zipped
:09:27. > :09:34.holdalls in Fiona Donnison's car at Heathfield in January last year.
:09:34. > :09:37.She denies murdering them. Paul Donnison told Lewes Crown
:09:37. > :09:40.Court that Fiona Donnison became manipulative, controlling and was
:09:40. > :09:47.out to get him after he ended their relationship and he became
:09:47. > :09:51.petrified at times, not knowing what she was going to do next. But
:09:51. > :09:53.in the days before his children were found dead in the back of Ms
:09:53. > :09:57.Donnison's car, she accused him of assaulting her, resulting in his
:09:57. > :10:01.arrest. It was an allegation he refutes. Paul Donnison told the
:10:01. > :10:04.court that he was released on bail and ordered to have no contact with
:10:04. > :10:11.Fiona Donnison. But on the 24th January he came home to find her
:10:11. > :10:14.and the children in his home. He says he called out the police, they
:10:14. > :10:17.advised him to stay away that night, but they agreed to accompany him
:10:17. > :10:21.into the house,so he could give the children toys he had brought back
:10:21. > :10:24.with him from a recent business trip. Prosecutor Christine Laing QC
:10:24. > :10:27.questioned Paul Donnison about this moment. He broke down as he said,
:10:27. > :10:31."Harry came over in his pyjamas. He wrapped his little arms around me.
:10:31. > :10:34.We hugged. We hugged. I gave him his toy. Fiona was standing two or
:10:34. > :10:37.three feet away. She had a look of absolute evil and hatred on her
:10:37. > :10:45.face. Fiona shooed him back into his bedroom and that was the last
:10:45. > :10:52.time I saw him." Fiona Donnison denies murdering three-year-old
:10:52. > :10:55.Harry and two-year-old Elise. Her trial continues.
:10:55. > :10:57.A woman has appeared in court in Hastings charged with the murder of
:10:57. > :11:00.her three-year-old daughter Lucy more than seven years ago. Lesley
:11:00. > :11:03.Dunford was arrested yesterday after her case was referred to
:11:03. > :11:06.police in 2009. An inquest in January three years ago was halted
:11:06. > :11:13.after a coroner said he couldn't rule out the possibility Lucy had
:11:13. > :11:16.been strangled. A Kent farm has won its battle to

:11:22. > :11:32.Opponents claimed they are damaging the environment and creating a blot
:11:32. > :11:36.on the landscape. Two keepers have been mauled by a
:11:36. > :11:39.cheetah at a wild animal park near Dartford. The big cats at the Eagle
:11:39. > :11:42.Heights Wildlife Park in Eynsford were being filmed by their owners
:11:42. > :11:48.at the time to prove how friendly they were. A fire extinguisher had
:11:48. > :11:58.to be fired in the cheetah's face to subdue it. The park insists the
:11:58. > :11:59.
:11:59. > :12:06.animal was just being hormonal. This is the film that was supposed
:12:06. > :12:10.to prove to the local council how safe the cats are. Here, the camera
:12:10. > :12:17.is have knocked down by one of them, then she jumps in, taking a swipe
:12:17. > :12:22.at the keeper. The recording stops after this. Can you get me the fire
:12:22. > :12:30.extinguisher? De chap that was standing behind him grab it by the
:12:30. > :12:35.scruff of the net. They was -- there was a bit of a battle. One of
:12:35. > :12:42.the man got a big gash across the forehead which could have taken his
:12:42. > :12:46.eyes out. They are very lucky people in my view. Today she was
:12:46. > :12:53.being far more placid but her keepers had to go to hospital for
:12:53. > :12:59.percussion. The bite of a cheetah is about 30 % more harmful than
:12:59. > :13:05.that of a human. Had this have -- had been a dog it would have been
:13:05. > :13:12.much worse. A cheetah is a hunter. At the park they are allowed to run
:13:12. > :13:16.and they say that they are very safe creatures. The council says it
:13:16. > :13:20.is now investigating what happened here. The managers say that in the
:13:20. > :13:25.ideas they have kept the cats they have never had an incident like
:13:25. > :13:31.this. Beekeepers describe what happened as a minor incident and

:15:05. > :15:08.The EU paper agrees, calling discards an unacceptable practice.
:15:08. > :15:12.In the proposals, discards will be stopped and fishermen must land and
:15:12. > :15:15.can sell all edible fish they catch. Their catches will be monitored so
:15:15. > :15:18.the EU can get more reliable data on fishing stocks. And quotas will
:15:18. > :15:21.no longer be set by Brussels but will be decided by governments.
:15:21. > :15:31.This could mean quotas for the inshore fleet could increase or
:15:31. > :15:39.
:15:39. > :15:46.This is a centralised nonsense of having a one size fits all fishing
:15:46. > :15:51.policy that goes through every region. We want to see much more
:15:51. > :15:55.local management and it will be a huge advantage for local fisheries
:15:55. > :15:58.around the southeast of England. Our reporter joins us now from
:15:58. > :16:04.Hastings, which has one of the last beach-based fishing fleets in the
:16:04. > :16:09.South East. How will the reforms effect fishermen there?
:16:09. > :16:13.Fishermen here have been calling for these changes for years. They
:16:13. > :16:18.say that the current quotas are putting people out of business.
:16:18. > :16:23.Even a celebrity chef at got involved. He said it was shameful
:16:23. > :16:27.that people were being forced to dump their fish at sea and it seems
:16:27. > :16:30.that the European Commission is finally taking notice. They say
:16:30. > :16:34.that these changes mean that fishermen can now earn a decent
:16:34. > :16:43.living and profit margins could go up threefold. They also say that
:16:43. > :16:48.there could be a massive increase in dwindling fish stocks. There is
:16:48. > :16:54.a vested interest in protecting the local resources here for future

:18:48. > :18:53.of them so we also do not want to give them away. We think he will

:18:57. > :19:03.public eye. There is such an interest in him. It will not go
:19:03. > :19:09.away. The exhibition opens at the end of next week at the University
:19:09. > :19:15.of Brighton Gallery. They are calling it out of the shadows. They

:19:51. > :19:52.
:19:52. > :20:01.sense of anticipation and excitement this evening.
:20:01. > :20:06.Absolutely. Over 200,000 people are anticipated over the next four days.
:20:06. > :20:12.That is more than at Wembley and the British Grand Prix put together.
:20:12. > :20:16.This is the 14th time that it has been held here on the East Kent
:20:16. > :20:21.links and it promises to be a classic.
:20:21. > :20:27.The final few hours can be pretty tense. Players were busy fine-

:20:52. > :20:59.This is fantastic for myself and the team. Just over a century ago
:20:59. > :21:03.the a only thing rolling around this grassy area was a sheep. Ever
:21:03. > :21:10.the next few days hundreds of millions of people around the world
:21:10. > :21:16.will be captivated by what happens here. -- over the next few days.
:21:16. > :21:25.What is it that brings people here? I like to see how the other guys do
:21:25. > :21:30.it. There are lots of hills. It is fun to see how they do it, moving
:21:30. > :21:34.all over the place. Golf tournaments like this can be
:21:34. > :21:39.bewildering. It is an opportunity to get close to your heroes. But
:21:39. > :21:43.what is the best way to enjoy the unique atmosphere? Pick a few
:21:43. > :21:50.strategic spots and watch the group's come through and move a bit
:21:50. > :21:59.around the golf course. If you have a particular favourite it can be
:21:59. > :22:03.quite enough of us walk to get through. If -- quite a mountainous
:22:03. > :22:10.walk. With the wind blowing it is impossible to predict who will be
:22:10. > :22:16.the next name to be added to the famous claret jug. The first operas
:22:16. > :22:22.will tee off tomorrow morning. -- the first and golfers will tee off
:22:22. > :22:29.tomorrow morning. Admission is �60 for adults and children under 10
:22:29. > :22:38.get in free. These are my top tips. Wear sensible shoes and a jacket.
:22:38. > :22:44.Bring your vernaculars. Take your time. There is plenty to see and do.
:22:44. > :22:50.I might add that you should accept that you will get very wet tomorrow.
:22:50. > :22:55.What happens if you let a brink a mature at least on the finely
:22:56. > :23:00.manicured greens? There is a only one way to find out. Send me along
:23:00. > :23:05.with two players and find out what happens. What happened was this.
:23:05. > :23:15.There we were, walking onto the turf of the championship course.
:23:15. > :23:24.
:23:24. > :23:29.Len Goodman and Jamie Spence and mean. -- and myself. We can all hit
:23:29. > :23:39.the ball as well as Jamie Spence but he does it all the time. Here
:23:39. > :23:44.
:23:44. > :23:49.is my drive off the tee. What a belter. It was actually pretty good.
:23:49. > :23:55.But to be fair there was no real pressure on me. Imagine what it is
:23:55. > :24:00.like to play with thousands of people watching your every move.
:24:00. > :24:06.They give you so much adrenalin that you have to cope with. It is a
:24:06. > :24:11.great feeling to have all of those fans. Fantastic. Len Goodman is a
:24:12. > :24:21.good judge and he is not afraid to express his opinions. Look at that
:24:21. > :24:29.posture. Posture, rhythm, timing. He's got the lot. But even
:24:29. > :24:33.sometimes he finds the game tricky. Not quite what I had in mind.
:24:33. > :24:40.the glory of links golf is that you can always follow up a bad shot
