:00:09. > :00:17.A woman turned away from a Kent Hospital in the final stages of
:00:17. > :00:21.labour, because it was too full, receives a personal apology. When
:00:21. > :00:25.his head was coming out, we heard that the midwife wasn't coming for
:00:25. > :00:28.me. That was the worst bit. A mother accused of murdering her
:00:28. > :00:29.two young children in Sussex chooses not to give evidence in her
:00:29. > :00:33.defence. Also in tonight's programme:
:00:33. > :00:36.Going up - rail fares on the rise again, and some commuters have had
:00:36. > :00:39.enough of it. We're live at Brighton Station tonight as
:00:39. > :00:43.passengers make their feelings clear.
:00:43. > :00:48.Eyesore or ice-breaker? Police in Kent are told to cover up, but can
:00:48. > :00:51.a bit of body art be a good thing? And sailing sensation - we meet the

:01:05. > :01:09.Good evening. A woman who was refused admission
:01:09. > :01:11.to the new Pembury Hospital when she was in the last stages of
:01:11. > :01:15.labour has received a personal apology from the hospital at her
:01:15. > :01:17.Frant home. Chloe Myers had been booked to have
:01:17. > :01:21.her delivery at Pembury, her nearest hospital, but when she
:01:21. > :01:24.called to let them know she was on her way, she was told that the
:01:24. > :01:33.hospital was full. Now she's made an official complaint and as Peter
:01:33. > :01:36.Whittlesea reports, her MP is offering her his backing.
:01:36. > :01:40.Baby Arthur's journey into the world was so fraught, hospital
:01:40. > :01:46.managers have apologised. Chloe Myers contacted Pembury Hospital as
:01:46. > :01:50.soon as her waters broke. That was the start of a 12 hour ordeal.
:01:50. > :01:54.were told Pembury was full and I was in such pain, I ask for an
:01:54. > :01:58.ambulance, knowing that I was going to have to have my baby at home.
:01:58. > :02:06.With no other options, she dialled for an ambulance or stopped I

:02:10. > :02:15.this baby out. Can you deliver this baby, what happens if it gets
:02:15. > :02:19.trapped? The paramedics expected an emergency midwife would follow.
:02:19. > :02:24.When half a's head was coming out, we heard that the midwife was not
:02:25. > :02:28.coming for May -- offer's. That was the worst bit. A Panorama
:02:28. > :02:33.investigation has revealed other causes for concern. These Kent
:02:33. > :02:37.hospitals had to close maternity services 30 times last year for the
:02:37. > :02:42.new admissions. 18 women were transferred to other hospitals. At
:02:42. > :02:45.Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells Trust, three women were transferred while
:02:45. > :02:50.the hospital carried out its controversial plans to restructure
:02:50. > :02:53.maternity services. Despite living just a few miles from Pembury
:02:53. > :02:58.Hospital, Victoria was told she would have to go to have made
:02:58. > :03:02.strength -- Maidstone. contractions were very painful and
:03:02. > :03:05.very close together. The idea of being strapped on a bed and being
:03:05. > :03:10.whizzed along the country roads to Maidstone, that was really
:03:10. > :03:14.terrifying. Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells Trust has seen an increased
:03:14. > :03:19.in women wanting to use the Maternity Centre in Pembrey, but
:03:19. > :03:25.the trust says there has not been an increase in unplanned home birds.
:03:25. > :03:30.Peter Whittlesea joins us now from Tunbridge Wells. What is a hospital
:03:31. > :03:35.actually doing about this? Maidstone and Trombert Wells Trust
:03:35. > :03:40.is now in a transitional period -- Tunbridge Wells. The alternative
:03:40. > :03:45.Service will not be fully open until September, and before that
:03:45. > :03:48.period, by asking for winter stick with the centre they have been
:03:48. > :03:52.allocated and not switch at the last minute -- they are asking
:03:52. > :03:55.women to stick. They say they have learned lessons from the case of
:03:55. > :03:58.Chloe Myers and standards have fallen below the standards they
:03:58. > :04:01.expected. A mother accused of killing her two
:04:01. > :04:04.young children in East Sussex chose not to give evidence in her defence
:04:04. > :04:07.today. Lewes Crown Court heard that Fiona Donnison was advised by
:04:07. > :04:11.barristers that jurors "may draw inferences" if she did not enter
:04:11. > :04:14.the witness box. The bodies of three-year-old Harry
:04:14. > :04:21.and Elise, who was two, were discovered in two holdalls in her
:04:21. > :04:25.car in Heathfield last January. Jon Hunt reports from Lewes Crown Court.
:04:25. > :04:30.The defence case in Fiona Donnison's trial opened today.
:04:30. > :04:33.Accused of murdering her two children, Harry and Elise, the
:04:33. > :04:38.fortified year-old former City worker decided not to give evidence.
:04:38. > :04:42.Instead, forensic clinical psychologist Dr Amory Clarke told
:04:42. > :04:52.the court about examinations he had made about the defendant earlier
:04:52. > :05:02.
:05:02. > :05:06.this year. Simon Russell Flint, Dr Amory Clarke then described a
:05:06. > :05:11.series of tests he had carried out to try and measure Fiona Donnison's
:05:11. > :05:15.state of mind. On one of the tests, she rated as having close to the
:05:15. > :05:21.highest score on the scale that measured her feelings of guilt, but
:05:21. > :05:26.she blamed Iraq should not have mental health. -- blamed her
:05:26. > :05:29.actions on her mental health. She is to us -- said to have said
:05:29. > :05:33.something was seriously wrong with her. But it comes to deciding
:05:33. > :05:37.whether she is guilty or not guilty of murder, the jury have to decide
:05:37. > :05:41.whether she was suffering from an abnormality of mind that would
:05:41. > :05:43.impair her judgment. She denies murder.

:05:59. > :06:07.increases this evening, calling on the Government not to raise season
:06:07. > :06:10.ticket prices. Season ticket fares to London are
:06:10. > :06:14.due to rise by an average of 21% across the south-east over the next
:06:14. > :06:19.three years. By 2015, commuters from Brighton will be paying �4,215
:06:19. > :06:22.a year. That's a 28% increase on this year's prices, an extra �931
:06:22. > :06:30.on this year's prices. Paul Siegert is at Brighton Station
:06:30. > :06:35.for us now. I can imagine the mood amongst commuters.
:06:35. > :06:38.And yes, some of the commuters that I have spoken to today, you will
:06:38. > :06:42.hear in a moment, some are absolutely furious about the
:06:42. > :06:47.proposed increases. Others say they do not mind paying more money so
:06:47. > :06:50.long as the service improved accordingly. They said they are
:06:50. > :06:55.they are concerned that despite these increases, none of the money
:06:55. > :06:59.would go on improvements. With fares rising four times faster than
:06:59. > :07:06.wages, next year as season-ticket from Brighton to London is set to
:07:06. > :07:11.increase by �226. So today, MPs Simon Kirby came to me to rail
:07:11. > :07:14.protesters as a national petition was launched. I have written to the
:07:14. > :07:18.minister and like everything, there is a balance to be struck between
:07:18. > :07:22.what the taxpayer pays and what the commuter pays, but I would like to
:07:22. > :07:26.see a more efficient travel service, more efficient trains and a better
:07:26. > :07:31.deal for commuters. It is an important issue and we should
:07:31. > :07:37.support them. Brighton has been chosen as one of 40 key commuter
:07:37. > :07:41.stations have to campaign against the rise. Protesters want of
:07:41. > :07:45.ministers to know just how unpopular the fare hikes are.
:07:45. > :07:49.are to stage now where fares are rising four times faster than wages
:07:49. > :07:53.and it is really difficult for people accessing work, and also
:07:53. > :07:56.pushes people back into their cars, with more pollution and congestion.
:07:56. > :08:01.Protesters are calling on the Government to reverse his decision
:08:01. > :08:06.to raise fares by 28% over the next three years, in favour of more
:08:06. > :08:10.affordable increases. But can it is this afternoon had mixed views.
:08:10. > :08:15.is already expensive enough. I think any increases the last thing
:08:15. > :08:19.we need. I have got a young person's rail card, so it doesn't
:08:19. > :08:26.affect me too much. But I don't think it is a good thing, because
:08:26. > :08:33.the services and grade. It will be quite expensive. I commute every
:08:33. > :08:36.day, up and you feel it. A further protests are due tomorrow in
:08:36. > :08:40.Margate and in Eastbourne on August 11th.
:08:40. > :08:43.A harsh reality is that despite increases in the past, trains are
:08:43. > :08:46.busier than ever and fares will keep rising until people vote with
:08:46. > :08:50.their feet. The harsh reality is that the many people who want to
:08:50. > :08:55.live in Brighton at work in London, there is no option but to get the
:08:55. > :08:58.train. We want to know what you think. Are
:08:58. > :09:01.the campaigners right in their call for the Government to reverse its
:09:01. > :09:04.decision to raise rail fares over the next three years, or should we
:09:04. > :09:09.just accept that if we want investment in our railways, fares
:09:09. > :09:12.will have to keep rising? Email us at southeasttoday@bbc.co.uk. Or you

:09:49. > :09:52.forward to keep some of the other centres open. Today's meeting was
:09:52. > :09:57.attended by youth workers and some of the teenagers who could be
:09:57. > :10:00.affected. A media group based in Kent has
:10:00. > :10:03.been referred to the Office of Fair Trading after bidding to take over
:10:04. > :10:06.its rival. The Kent Messenger Group, which produces nearly a dozen
:10:07. > :10:16.newspapers in the county, has made an offer to buy another newspaper
:10:16. > :10:19.group, Kent Regional News & Media. Mark Norman is at the Kent
:10:19. > :10:27.Messenger's headquarters in Larkfield now. Mark, this is quite
:10:27. > :10:30.a shake-up for Kent's newspapers? Yes, it is. It is also hugely
:10:30. > :10:35.important to all of us who have a favourite local paper that we read
:10:35. > :10:41.every week. The KM Group currently and 10 titles, the Kent Messenger,
:10:41. > :10:45.at the Medway Messenger and at the Whitstable Gazette. They are buying
:10:45. > :10:51.Kent Regional News & Media, who have seven titles, largely in East
:10:51. > :10:58.Kent. Interestingly, that News Group was sold off a few years ago
:10:58. > :11:06.as part of a 64.1 �5 million deal. And here they are getting sold off
:11:06. > :11:09.again. They are big figures. What are the
:11:09. > :11:13.risks to jobs and the historic titles themselves?
:11:13. > :11:17.As you say, many of the seven titles are historic. They have been
:11:17. > :11:21.serving the local committees for hundreds of years. It is almost
:11:21. > :11:25.inevitable that some jobs will go and some titles will be lost,
:11:25. > :11:27.because the KM Group will face the same set of problems, how to make
:11:27. > :11:32.money from newspapers when you are struggling to sell them, struggling
:11:33. > :11:36.to get advertising revenue, but your costs are rising? And this
:11:36. > :11:39.will be about cutting costs. A south-east police chief has
:11:39. > :11:42.called for a ban on officers showing tattoos to be lifted
:11:42. > :11:45.because they present an opportunity to break down barriers with the
:11:45. > :11:48.public. New guidelines from Kent Police say
:11:48. > :11:50.that excessive body art should be covered up, but the Chairman of the
:11:51. > :11:54.Kent Police Federation, who represents rank and file officers,
:11:54. > :12:02.says they can be an ice-breaker. Simon Jones has been looking at the
:12:02. > :12:05.debate. Mike Smith has chosen to have his
:12:05. > :12:10.first tattoo where it could easily be covered if his future employer
:12:10. > :12:14.to could dislike to it. Now Kent Police is telling officers they
:12:14. > :12:18.must cover up excessive tattoos. Even though the police Federation
:12:18. > :12:22.says it has never received complaints about them. It begs the
:12:22. > :12:25.question, what is excessive? Officers have said to me,
:12:25. > :12:29.particularly when they are dealing with younger people, that their
:12:29. > :12:32.tattoos can be something of an ice- breaker. This highlights a

:12:48. > :12:53.Offensive tattoos are said to be discriminated, violent,
:12:53. > :12:56.intimidating or rude. Personally, I think having something like a
:12:56. > :13:01.tattoo, which normalises the police force, could possibly make them
:13:01. > :13:06.more approachable and make them seal pup -- seem like normal people,
:13:06. > :13:09.not somebody to be scared of. that they wouldn't change my
:13:09. > :13:13.opinion of that person, no matter what their job. Kent police have
:13:13. > :13:17.told us that there is an expectation that staff and officers
:13:17. > :13:21.maintain a standard of appearance and dressed that is considered
:13:22. > :13:24.professional, smart and approachable when they are on duty.
:13:24. > :13:29.Experts say celebrities like David Beckham have made tattoos more

:18:37. > :18:41.everything has come a long early, the blossom was early, and it all
:18:41. > :18:46.came together and set very well, and the weather has been good for
:18:46. > :18:50.them. Nice and dry, a bit of rain and a bit of sunshine. And with
:18:50. > :18:55.such traditional English apples like this one arriving so early, it
:18:56. > :18:59.means that local growers are better able to compete in our supermarkets.
:18:59. > :19:03.Over the last seven years, we have seen a huge increase in consumer
:19:03. > :19:08.demand for local supplies. The Malta Pauls, that is the
:19:08. > :19:12.supermarkets, have become aware and have wanted to stock more and more
:19:12. > :19:18.English apples. The industry has invested in new orchards and new
:19:18. > :19:23.varieties. Since 2006, 40% more locally grown apples from the farms
:19:23. > :19:28.like this one in Maidstone have been sold to supermarkets. Saving
:19:28. > :19:32.�50 million per year in import. That growing fan base for the

:20:06. > :20:10.So at least if it rains until September, it will be doing the
:20:10. > :20:13.fruit some good. There were some pretty scenes from
:20:13. > :20:16.the cliffs of Thanet over the weekend, as an international fleet
:20:16. > :20:18.of sailing boats made their way to Ramsgate for the annual regatta,
:20:18. > :20:22.which begins today. And this year, the star attraction
:20:22. > :20:30.was a sailor who's not only sailed around the world, not only done it
:20:30. > :20:35.single-handedly - but has done it at the age of 19!
:20:35. > :20:41.You are looking at the youngest sailor ever to have taken a yacht
:20:41. > :20:47.single-handedly around the world. He was 17 years and 164 days old.
:20:47. > :20:56.Today, Mike Parham is an elderly 19-year-old who has come to be a
:20:56. > :21:01.part of Ramsgate week. He is here to inspire people that sailing is
:21:01. > :21:09.not just for the elite. I started saving $1 around seven years old, I
:21:09. > :21:13.was very young and I was given some fantastic advice -- when our was.
:21:13. > :21:17.Hopefully with something like this, we can encourage some others to get
:21:17. > :21:21.out on the water and experience and adventure. He says his next
:21:21. > :21:24.adventure is to fly, he wants to be the first person to sail and fly
:21:24. > :21:29.across the globe single-handed and to be the youngest to have done
:21:29. > :21:33.both. What a man to have that your regatta. Ramsgate week has been
:21:33. > :21:37.dubbed the friendly sailing event. It is certainly one of the most
:21:37. > :21:41.prestigious on this part of the closed. There are boats from
:21:41. > :21:46.Holland and Germany. Lots of local day cruises are giving it their
:21:46. > :21:50.best as well. It is a team effort, we have got nine crew and they have
:21:50. > :21:55.all got jobs and they all sail regularly together, so they know
:21:55. > :22:01.how to do the manoeuvres. They can get heated sometimes, but it is all
:22:01. > :22:04.sorted out in the bar. A harbour and the Waterfront provide a
:22:04. > :22:09.picturesque setting, and the sailing brings with it the
:22:09. > :22:13.following it, he will be spending their money in town. We hope to
:22:14. > :22:18.have about 55 boats for the week, Reading 2 series, one from Monday
:22:19. > :22:24.to Wednesday and one from Thursday to Saturday -- running a two series.
:22:24. > :22:31.But we have fantastic weather. sailing festival for all. But for
:22:31. > :22:38.the out-and-out racers, this is one they want to win, before moving on.
:22:38. > :22:42.They have a lot of sailing to do before the week is out.
:22:42. > :22:45.Books absolutely glorious. But is it set fair for the rest of the
:22:45. > :22:51.week -- it looks. I think today was probably the best
:22:51. > :22:57.day and the rest of the week, light winds but staying dry. Sub not that
:22:57. > :23:00.bad about really glad that it is bad about really glad that it is
:23:00. > :23:05.not as it -- Bath as it was in 1988. In 1988, there was some really
:23:06. > :23:14.hideous hailstorms. In Canterbury, they recorded hailstones the size
:23:14. > :23:19.of golf balls. Throughout the month of July, 23 wet days. Days of rain.
:23:19. > :23:29.So it has not been that bad, and today we have even had some
:23:29. > :23:32.
:23:33. > :23:36.I can only really describe this as an reverse control. -- a reverse
:23:36. > :23:40.control. There is so much moisture in the upper atmosphere that the
:23:40. > :23:44.heat from the aeroplane has meant that the water droplets within the
:23:44. > :23:49.cloud has evaporated, so in a crowd of -- instead of creating cloud,
:23:49. > :23:53.you have a string of a clear sky. Thank you for sending back in,
:23:53. > :23:57.something I have not often seen. For the rest of tonight, it is
:23:57. > :24:00.staying dry and that is the theme for the rest of this week. High
:24:00. > :24:05.pressure and things will stay settled with light winds, but cloud
:24:05. > :24:10.amounts are going to be annoying. We will have quite a bit bad times
:24:10. > :24:15.and overnight tonight, it will stop temperatures falling much lower
:24:15. > :24:19.than 13 or 14. Wherever we do get a clearer skies for longer,
:24:19. > :24:22.temperatures could fall as low as 10 or 11. But nothing else really
:24:23. > :24:27.to report and through tomorrow, very much the same as today. The
:24:27. > :24:32.further west, the best of the sunshine, but overall, there will
:24:32. > :24:37.be more cloud for us all tomorrow, so the temperatures will take a bit
:24:37. > :24:42.of a kicking it, only getting up to 19 or 20 degrees. Not feeling that
:24:42. > :24:46.summary tomorrow, and even as we go into Tuesday night and Wednesday,
:24:46. > :24:50.although we have high pressure and things should stay mostly dry, at
:24:50. > :24:55.the worst being the splash of drizzle occasionally, you want to
:24:55. > :24:58.be way to the west, where the best of the sunshine is. So although on
:24:58. > :25:01.the face of it this looks like a glorious week of weather, the
:25:01. > :25:03.sunshine is a bit stingy and there sunshine is a bit stingy and there
:25:03. > :25:09.will be a lot of cloud. But the drive.
:25:09. > :25:14.That is the story of July. A look at the closing headlines, and
:25:14. > :25:17.Norweb's self-confessed mass- murderer is claiming that he worked
:25:17. > :25:22.with the two underground cells. In a court appearance Behind Closed
:25:22. > :25:25.Doors, he said he wanted to send a signal about what he called a
:25:25. > :25:27.Muslim takeover of Norway and Europe.
:25:27. > :25:31.Apologies have been given to a mother after her local hospital
:25:31. > :25:35.told her she could not be admitted to have her baby, despite being in
:25:36. > :25:39.the last stages of labour. And the launch of a petition
:25:39. > :25:44.against rail fare rises has taken place. We asked you what you think,
:25:44. > :25:49.are campaigners right to object or should we accept it if we want
:25:49. > :25:54.investment in railways? Fares will have to keep up. Paul is still at
:25:54. > :25:58.Brighton station. What have campaign has been saying?
:25:58. > :26:01.Optimistic that they can get the Government to make a U-turn and we
:26:01. > :26:08.know that already, this government has made a couple of high-profile
:26:08. > :26:12.new turns so -- so whether they can achieve it, we will save. But all
:26:12. > :26:17.the Times, the trains are packed and it is that they room-only, why
:26:17. > :26:20.would the Government think about reversing the decision? -- standing
:26:20. > :26:24.room only. Let's take a look at some of the e-
:26:24. > :26:31.mails. We have had lots. Market believes
:26:31. > :26:35.that of the rail company is are only interested been agreed.
:26:35. > :26:40.It is a cheat when trains are always packed and don't run on time.
:26:40. > :26:43.It would be fine of higher fares improved rail travel, but in big
:26:43. > :26:48.business, it is the shareholder that comes first.
:26:48. > :26:50.Liam says that he has to go and get the train to look for work but he
:26:50. > :26:54.can't afford the train prices, which is making looking for work
:26:54. > :26:58.harder. Cynthia Davies says she does not
:26:58. > :27:02.use the train but she would not pay the price that the train companies
:27:02. > :27:05.are asking, and she feels sorry for season-ticket holders. Why keep
:27:05. > :27:09.putting prices up when wages do not go up?
:27:09. > :27:13.Another thing reflected in the e- mails we have been sent is that it
:27:13. > :27:19.will push people back into their cars and onto the road. One, it
:27:19. > :27:23.says that it due to the cost, by daughter does not use the train to
:27:23. > :27:26.get university, she uses the bus, it is much more reliable and
:27:26. > :27:31.cheaper. Do keep your e-mails coming in, we have that Facebook
:27:31. > :27:35.page and we are also on Twitter and we would love to hear from you.
