:00:03. > :00:08.Welcome to South East Today, I'm Rob Smith.
:00:08. > :00:11.And I'm Natalie Graham. Tonight's top stories: calls for a Sussex
:00:11. > :00:20.bank worker to be jailed after she hacked into the account of a sexual
:00:20. > :00:22.assault victim. For maximum fine is �5,000. But really isn't good
:00:22. > :00:26.enough for when the people accessing a confidential
:00:26. > :00:29.information. -- that really isn't good enough.
:00:30. > :00:32.Stabbed by someone he knew, the 71- year-old man found dead in his home.
:00:32. > :00:37.Simon Jones reports live from the scene in Gravesend.
:00:37. > :00:40.Also in tonight's programme: the third rail stays, no government
:00:40. > :00:46.money will be made available for overhead power cables in the South
:00:46. > :00:49.East, despite last winters chaos. A passport back in time, this
:00:49. > :00:54.footage rediscovered in a church clear-out.
:00:54. > :01:04.He is in the 100 Club, the record- breaking runner who has completed a
:01:04. > :01:07.
:01:07. > :01:13.century of marathons in less than two years.
:01:13. > :01:16.Good evening. A bank worker who hacked into the financial records
:01:16. > :01:18.of a sexual assault victim should have been jailed for her truly
:01:18. > :01:21.shocking actions, according to the senior official in charge of
:01:21. > :01:24.protecting our privacy. Former Barclays cashier Sarah
:01:24. > :01:27.Langridge has been fined �800 for repeatedly looking up the woman's
:01:27. > :01:30.details while her husband was on trial for a violent sexual assault
:01:30. > :01:37.in Haywards Heath. The customer was the woman he had attacked. Juliette
:01:37. > :01:42.Parkin reports. Free from court, the wife of a sex
:01:42. > :01:47.attacker and a woman who, while working as a bank cashier,
:01:47. > :01:51.illegally access to her husband's victims' personal Banksy tells. Her
:01:51. > :01:56.punishment has led to calls -- for calls for much tougher sentences.
:01:56. > :02:01.We would have liked a higher fine but the court raises all the
:02:01. > :02:09.circumstances. In future, we are keen that the possibility of a jail
:02:09. > :02:13.sentence is available. It was while she was employed here, at Barclay's
:02:14. > :02:17.Bank in Haywards Heath, that Sarah Langridge viewed the victim's
:02:17. > :02:21.personal bank details on eight separate dates over eight months,
:02:21. > :02:27.including the period of her husband's trial. She claimed she
:02:27. > :02:30.was trying to build a picture of the woman who had accused him.
:02:30. > :02:36.Simon Langridge was jailed for the attack which happened two years ago
:02:36. > :02:39.and has since been released. Neighbours in his quiet close did
:02:39. > :02:45.not want to speak on camera today but told us they were shocked to
:02:45. > :02:49.hear that Sarah has been before the courts in relation to her husband's
:02:49. > :02:55.victim. They spoke of a pleasant young couple, who were planning to
:02:55. > :02:59.start a family. The family have since moved away. Their victim said
:02:59. > :03:03.the sexual attack left her traumatised, frightened and
:03:03. > :03:07.depressed. I never leave my house that night, she added, and am
:03:08. > :03:14.scared of the dark. A harrowing experience, punishable by prison
:03:14. > :03:17.but the debate rumbles on over sentencing for violation of privacy.
:03:17. > :03:21.For some time, the information commissioner has said they ought to
:03:21. > :03:26.be the possibility of a prison sentence for breaches of the Data
:03:26. > :03:31.Protection Act. Interfering with people's confidential data can be
:03:31. > :03:38.serious. Parliament was prepared to allow for a two-year sentence but
:03:38. > :03:42.that was put on hold in 2008 after pressure from the press. The Home
:03:42. > :03:47.Secretary could introduce a prison sentence for an offence like this
:03:47. > :03:51.are very easily. Barclay's Bank told us the security of customer
:03:51. > :03:56.data is their highest priority and confirmed that Sarah Langridge no
:03:56. > :04:02.longer works there. Tonight, some are questioning her right to
:04:02. > :04:06.freedom. Friends of a pensioner who's been
:04:06. > :04:08.stabbed to death at his home in Kent say the loss of a quiet,
:04:08. > :04:11.gentle man has left them devastated. The 71-year-old, who's been named
:04:11. > :04:14.locally as Terry Wotton, was murdered last night in Gravesend
:04:14. > :04:23.and our reporter Simon Jones is live at the scene. What more do we
:04:23. > :04:27.know about this, Simon? Police and paramedics were called
:04:27. > :04:32.here at about 11pm yesterday night but could not save the pensioner.
:04:32. > :04:36.All day today, at his home, we seemed officers coming and going,
:04:36. > :04:41.looking to try to find out exactly what happened. Tonight, a 47 year-
:04:41. > :04:46.old man is in police custody on suspicion of murder.
:04:46. > :04:54.Hunting for clues to the stabbing of a pensioner in his own home. To
:04:54. > :05:04.the disbelief of those -- those who knew Terry Whatton. A quiet, gentle,
:05:04. > :05:07.
:05:07. > :05:11.working person. It is devastating. I'm choked. I'm surprised. If I
:05:11. > :05:16.just don't know. -- I just do not know. It has caught the by
:05:16. > :05:20.surprised. Officers believe he did know his attacker. They've been
:05:20. > :05:25.carrying out house-to-house inquiries, breaking the news to
:05:25. > :05:34.many of his neighbours. We have seen them coming and going, walking
:05:34. > :05:38.the dog. It is shocking. Absolutely shocking. On your doorstep. You do
:05:38. > :05:46.not hear a thing. That is the worst bit, not hearing anything and then
:05:46. > :05:54.finding out. Out of my bedroom window, you can see his house. It
:05:54. > :05:58.is quite close to come. -- to home. A post-mortem was taking place this
:05:58. > :06:02.afternoon. Detectives from the Serious crime director at still
:06:02. > :06:07.have in custody a 47 year-old man. He will be questioned on suspicion
:06:07. > :06:10.of murder. I think the house-to-house
:06:10. > :06:14.inquiries, as well as looking for information, are also designed to
:06:14. > :06:18.reassure local people. Police are stressing they are not looking for
:06:18. > :06:28.anyone else and asking that if anyone heard or saw anything
:06:28. > :06:31.
:06:31. > :06:35.suspicious between 10pm and 11pm last night, to contact them.
:06:35. > :06:45.Our wine makers predict that the disappointing summer could leave a
:06:45. > :06:54.
:06:54. > :06:57.sweet taste after all. MPs on the influential Transport
:06:57. > :07:01.Commons committee have recommended scrapping the third rail and
:07:01. > :07:04.replacing it with overhead cables. To night, ministers have ruled that
:07:04. > :07:11.out, saying it would be prohibitively expensive.
:07:11. > :07:15.-- tonight. This happens every year. As soon as
:07:15. > :07:20.we get some snow, it comes to a complete halt. Waiting for about an
:07:20. > :07:24.hour and a half and still nothing. No announcements since I've been
:07:24. > :07:28.here about what is happening so it is not great. I would like to be
:07:28. > :07:32.angry but I'm past caring now. was another winter and the south-
:07:32. > :07:35.east so rail network ground to a halt. The cause of much of the
:07:35. > :07:39.problems was icing on the third rail, the line that powers the
:07:39. > :07:42.trains. A group of MPs looking for solutions recommended the third
:07:42. > :07:47.rail be replaced by a better system but today, the government refused
:07:47. > :07:51.to back such a project. It is a very important issue but it is a
:07:51. > :07:54.long-term one. It would be quite expensive so we will have to give
:07:54. > :08:01.careful consideration before we can give any commitment. Last year's
:08:01. > :08:04.weather disruption cost the UK economy �1.6 billion. 2500 miles of
:08:04. > :08:08.railway in the south-east is electrified via the third rail
:08:08. > :08:12.system. The cost of replacing it is unknown but it is estimated to be
:08:12. > :08:17.in for the billions of pounds. Whilst we had significant
:08:17. > :08:21.disruption last winter, and there was a cost associated with that,
:08:21. > :08:25.the actual cost of what is effectively re-engineering and in
:08:25. > :08:29.some cases replacing bridges and making changes to tunnels is
:08:29. > :08:33.significant. Cheaper solutions are being considered. Network Rail has
:08:33. > :08:37.been installing heaters on some sections of the federal and will
:08:37. > :08:41.extend that further across the network by this winter. One
:08:41. > :08:45.passenger group believes this will divert money away from higher
:08:45. > :08:49.priorities. Passengers are going to be paying more over the next three
:08:49. > :08:56.to five years for their tickets and their commuter. What is important
:08:56. > :09:00.is that passengers see tangible benefits, more punctual trains.
:09:00. > :09:04.Passengers want a seat on a train and so longer trains is what
:09:04. > :09:08.passengers once now. Whatever the solution to the problem, experts
:09:09. > :09:15.believe -- I agree, it will never completely eliminate disruption
:09:15. > :09:18.caused by extreme weather. Rebecca Barry joins us live from
:09:18. > :09:25.Tonbridge station. I dare say commuters will be disappointed to
:09:25. > :09:31.hear this. What is being done the to make the network or robust?
:09:31. > :09:34.more robust. Network Rail say they are installing special heating
:09:35. > :09:40.stems which powers the trains to stop it freezing over like it did
:09:40. > :09:44.last winter. They say that could reduce the number of delays by 80 %.
:09:44. > :09:49.They are also building two new snow treatment trains to help clear the
:09:49. > :09:52.tracks and finally, south-east and insist they have now improved their
:09:52. > :10:00.website so passengers are kept better informed this time, so there
:10:00. > :10:03.is not a repeat of the frustration felt by many here last winter.
:10:03. > :10:06.Detectives have been given more time to question a Maidstone man
:10:06. > :10:09.arrested on suspicion of murder, following the deaths of a 20-year-
:10:09. > :10:12.old mother and her baby in a house fire in Chatham. Melissa Crook and
:10:12. > :10:15.her 15-month-old son Noah died in the fire on Saturday. Her father
:10:15. > :10:19.and brother remain in hospital with serious injuries. Four people have
:10:19. > :10:23.been arrested in connection with the deaths.
:10:23. > :10:26.Four men have been released on bail following a ram raid at a Kent
:10:26. > :10:29.village newsagents. Two vehicles were used to break in to the shop
:10:29. > :10:32.in Bearsted near Maidstone, and a cash machine was stolen. A 19-year-
:10:32. > :10:42.old from Maidstone and three others in their 20s from Longfield and
:10:42. > :10:43.
:10:43. > :10:46.Sevenoaks were arrested on Friday. The Olympics Minister will who lose
:10:46. > :10:49.his seat if a shake-up of electoral boundaries are approved. The
:10:49. > :10:53.political map of the county would be redrawn to make all
:10:53. > :10:57.constituencies the same size. Hugh Robertson would be a high-profile
:10:57. > :11:02.casualty with his father Shum and Mid Kent constituency abolished
:11:02. > :11:07.altogether. -- father Shum. Clearly that is disappointing for me
:11:07. > :11:11.personally. My seat is a part of Kent, I was brought up in
:11:11. > :11:16.Canterbury. I've lived there all my life. On a personal level, it is
:11:16. > :11:20.disappointing. Set against that, this is a policy I support. There
:11:20. > :11:30.are big changes planned for Sussex as well. Of Becks hills borders
:11:30. > :11:32.
:11:32. > :11:41.will change. In... An entirely new constituency would be created. The
:11:41. > :11:45.Liberal Democrat Transport Minister and Lewes MP Norman Baker could
:11:45. > :11:48.face a fight to hold onto his seat, under plans to create a new
:11:48. > :11:52.constituency called Lewes and Brighton East. Today there was a
:11:52. > :11:59.mixed reaction. This constituency is quite compact, quite good. It
:11:59. > :12:06.has got a county town and rural areas. It is a good combination. It
:12:06. > :12:12.is in liberal, progressive area. provides a quality in terms of
:12:12. > :12:22.voter numbers and so it is a sensible idea. Lewis and East
:12:22. > :12:29.Brighton are fundamentally different. -- Lewes. I feel this
:12:29. > :12:31.might be idiocy. Let's cross live to our political editor. This would
:12:31. > :12:35.be the biggest shake up of our electoral boundaries in a
:12:35. > :12:42.generation. What's the thinking behind it?
:12:42. > :12:46.It is to make constituency size much more even. They would have
:12:46. > :12:50.around 76,500 constituency each. At the moment, places like Brighton
:12:50. > :12:57.has a much greater Gordon Lishman than the neighbouring areas. They
:12:57. > :13:01.will now merge parts to form a new constituency. The other reason is
:13:01. > :13:07.to save some money. Basically around �12 million a year would be
:13:07. > :13:09.saved by reducing the number of MPs from 650 to 600. These are only
:13:09. > :13:15.consultations of the mother. The Boundary Commission wants to know
:13:15. > :13:18.what you think. They will put out a formal report in 2013. It shows
:13:18. > :13:21.they will be a lot more jostling between MPs coming up to the next

:22:50. > :22:59.getting through lots of clothes. am very grateful to my girlfriend,
:22:59. > :23:05.Rachel Smith. She has a unswervingly... She has run 25
:23:05. > :23:10.marathons with me. She has done endless washing. I have entire
:23:10. > :23:16.drawers full of clothes and they get... Am glad you didn't bring
:23:16. > :23:22.those in. Are you glad to have finished now?
:23:22. > :23:27.No, I've got two more this weekend and five more next week. I had a
:23:27. > :23:32.feeling he was going to say that. Good luck. The weekly trudge around
:23:32. > :23:34.the supermarket is not usually the most inspiring experience. But for
:23:35. > :23:38.designer Kate Jenkins, everything from fishfingers, to a bag of flour,
:23:38. > :23:40.can spark the imagination. The Brighton-based artist has
:23:40. > :23:50.knitted a whole shop's worth of ingredients for her latest
:23:50. > :23:59.
:23:59. > :24:04.exhibition in London. As Sara Smith Andy Warhol may have painted cans
:24:04. > :24:09.of soup, Kate Jenkins has knitted purse. Along with sausages, tinned
:24:09. > :24:14.fish and chips, each piece is hand- stitched to make a mouth-watering
:24:14. > :24:21.display. She originally started her will and works of art with
:24:21. > :24:25.attention to her fashion business. I didn't have any advertising
:24:25. > :24:30.budgets so I thought I would use my hands and do something that with
:24:30. > :24:38.interest people who would not normally be into knitwear or
:24:38. > :24:41.fashion. The art took over. Now she spends more time on crafts and her
:24:41. > :24:48.work is being exhibited in his London gallery. What I love about
:24:48. > :24:52.her work is the fact that you can see the hard work in them. Fur is
:24:53. > :24:58.months and months of her making these pieces. -- Ferrar months and
:24:58. > :25:02.months. They make you laugh and there is a sense of fun. The humour
:25:02. > :25:06.for Kate is as important as the handicraft. It is beautiful and has
:25:06. > :25:13.a little twist. It is not just about a piece of crocheted food, it
:25:13. > :25:18.has an extra thing. There is usually a visual joke. Kate is not
:25:18. > :25:24.the only one to make my team into an art form. These residents
:25:24. > :25:30.knitted their own village. Someone stitched a whole life size living
:25:30. > :25:33.room. One company give the royal wedding this one the makeover.

:25:50. > :25:53.I cannot give you a knitted weather forecast but I can offer you some
:25:53. > :25:58.better weather. There were some blustery showers around but mostly
:25:58. > :26:03.it has been dry. Those showers are fading away. Tonight stays dry and
:26:03. > :26:06.tomorrow it will be a lovely, settled day. Plenty of sunshine for
:26:06. > :26:11.assault. Staying dry and those winds are finally easing off as
:26:11. > :26:15.well. Today, the south westerly winds were up to 25 mph. Guests
:26:15. > :26:18.were stronger than that. This band of showers moving across the south-
:26:18. > :26:25.east through this afternoon, Clearing as we move into the
:26:25. > :26:31.ceiling. The best of any brightness, today getting up to 19 degrees.
:26:31. > :26:34.That is a 66 in Fahrenheit. Plenty of late-evening sunshine. We are
:26:34. > :26:38.holding on to the clear skies overnight. Temperatures will
:26:38. > :26:42.reflect that, getting down to around 10 degrees. Tomorrow, we got
:26:42. > :26:46.higher pressure building from the south-west. It is going to be dry
:26:46. > :26:51.with plenty of sunshine. Very little changes as we move through
:26:51. > :26:55.the day. It will be settled, warm and bright. More clout bobbing up
:26:55. > :27:05.through the afternoon but that will not affect the brightness too much.
:27:05. > :27:09.Those wins will finally he's off. - - those winds will finally he's off.
:27:09. > :27:12.Without those blustery showers, it will be feeling warmer. As we move

:27:16. > :27:26.skies. The temperatures are pretty cold compared with what we've been
