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

:00:03.:00:06.

Tonight's top stories. The 12-year-old forced to move away

:00:06.:00:10.

from Sussex by online bullies. Now her father has started a charity to

:00:10.:00:15.

combat the problem. It made me feel like death was the only way out, to

:00:15.:00:18.

be honest. Tests reveal two young men who

:00:18.:00:22.

drowned in Canterbury had taken a so-called legal high.

:00:22.:00:25.

Also in tonight's programme: Clare's death wasn't in vain. The

:00:26.:00:29.

mother of a Kent woman killed by her ex describes her relief on

:00:29.:00:33.

winning her campaign to make stalking illegal. We're live in

:00:33.:00:36.

Downing street with the details. The Buddhist monk who wants to buy

:00:36.:00:42.

Brighton Pier and turn it into a global beacon of peace and love.

:00:42.:00:45.

And providing a platform for the art of sheds, the Sussex man who

:00:45.:00:55.
:00:55.:01:01.

Good evening. The abuse and harassment she received online and

:01:01.:01:04.

in text messages was so extreme that 12-year-old Poppy Freeman

:01:04.:01:09.

considered taking her own life. Even after moving hundreds of miles

:01:09.:01:12.

from her home in Sussex to start a new life, the cyber-bullying has

:01:12.:01:17.

continued. Now her father, Scott Freeman, is setting up a charity

:01:17.:01:19.

from his home in Brighton and as Steve Gaisford reports, is

:01:19.:01:22.

campaigning for a change in the law to ensure online bullies are

:01:22.:01:30.

prosecuted. It made me feel like death was the

:01:31.:01:38.

only way out, to be honest. I remember every single day, coming

:01:38.:01:42.

home and just crying and crying and crying. I was actually quite scared

:01:43.:01:46.

what was going to happen, I didn't know half the people who were

:01:46.:01:49.

giving me death threats. chilling words from a young girl

:01:49.:01:54.

who so nearly through her life away. At the time, Scott Freeman was

:01:54.:01:59.

unaware of the cyber-bullies who were crushing her daughter -- his

:01:59.:02:02.

daughter's confident and pushing her to commit suicide. The only way

:02:02.:02:05.

to describe it was that in her words, she thought that death was

:02:05.:02:11.

the only way out which is tragic for an 11 year-old to feel like.

:02:11.:02:17.

She had 60 negative bits on that bit of feedback to one update on

:02:17.:02:24.

her feet -- Facebook Page, it escalated with death threats,

:02:24.:02:29.

people saying, why don't you kill yourself, we will do it for you.

:02:29.:02:32.

Scott joined forces with a father whose son was secretly tormented

:02:32.:02:36.

whilst playing online games. They have launched a charity offering

:02:36.:02:40.

help and support to victims. They hope the Cybersmile Foundation will

:02:40.:02:46.

be able to help children like Dan's oldest son who was getting bullied.

:02:46.:02:50.

It was getting very bad and he was getting distressed, the site was

:02:50.:02:54.

getting -- the site was very good and the same person had just picked

:02:54.:02:59.

and even up out of thin air, created another profile for the

:02:59.:03:04.

sights and gone on at my son again. Whilst every effort is made to

:03:04.:03:06.

alert parents and children to the dangers of cyber-bullying, there is

:03:06.:03:14.

little that the authorities can do. The police cannot respond to every

:03:14.:03:17.

type of brilliant, if they have got somewhere they can refer victims of

:03:17.:03:26.

this type of crime to, so they can have advice so it does not hate

:03:26.:03:30.

them so deeply, it is a good thing. Far better than restricting young

:03:30.:03:35.

children from using the internet. Social media is growing, that is

:03:35.:03:39.

the world they live in, so to exclude them from that would be,

:03:39.:03:45.

well, the bullies would win. These two fathers would do all they can

:03:45.:03:48.

to stop that happening. Two young men who drowned in a pond

:03:48.:03:51.

in Canterbury had taken a so-called legal high and been drinking,

:03:51.:03:56.

toxicology reports have revealed. The bodies of Hugo Wenn and Daniel

:03:56.:04:00.

Lloyd were found two months ago. They'd taken a substance called

:04:00.:04:09.

methoxetamine, also known as MXE. Our reporter Jon Hunt is live in

:04:09.:04:18.

Canterbury. What can you tell us about this drug? Drug charities

:04:18.:04:25.

described it as a designer drug. It is completely legal. And it is

:04:25.:04:28.

advertised extensively on the internet. It came about in 2010,

:04:28.:04:32.

and has been gaining in popularity ever since. Taking it can cause a

:04:32.:04:37.

variety of symptoms from unconsciousness, muscle relaxing

:04:37.:04:40.

symptoms, hallucinations and euphoria he -- euphoria, but

:04:40.:04:47.

critically it can cause this association and to confusion. The

:04:47.:04:51.

drug charity says mixing Methoxetamine with alcohol is very

:04:51.:04:54.

serious and the Home Office has announced plans to try and ban the

:04:54.:04:58.

drug. The local MP says this case just illustrates why there is so

:04:58.:05:03.

much concern about so-called legal highs. There are lots of different

:05:03.:05:08.

chemicals which will give a so- called legal high, and catching up

:05:08.:05:11.

with them and classifying them takes time. What is needed is a

:05:11.:05:18.

much faster procedure, so when one is identified, it can be banned.

:05:18.:05:25.

What does this latest development mean for the police investigation?

:05:25.:05:29.

Just after Hugo Wenn and Daniel Lloyd's bodies were discovered in

:05:29.:05:33.

the pond in Canterbury in January, they arrested two men. One was

:05:33.:05:38.

released without charge. The second man, a 28 year-old, was released on

:05:38.:05:43.

police bail. He is due to answer bail next week. He was arrested on

:05:43.:05:49.

suspicious of supplying controlled drugs. They say they are no longer

:05:49.:05:53.

treating these deaths as suspicious, it will be up to an inquest to

:05:53.:05:57.

decide how these two yuck -- two young men came to the tragic

:05:57.:05:59.

circumstances. In a moment:

:05:59.:06:02.

Shutting down with the loss of 100 jobs, why Kingsnorth Power Station

:06:02.:06:12.

will stop generating next year. The mother of a young woman who was

:06:12.:06:14.

stalked and then murdered by her ex-boyfriend has won her campaign

:06:14.:06:19.

for a new law to make stalking a criminal offence. After meeting the

:06:19.:06:21.

Prime Minister today, Tricia Bernal, from Tunbridge Wells, said his

:06:21.:06:23.

decision to announce new legislation meant Clare Bernal's

:06:23.:06:29.

death was not in vain. In a moment we'll speak to her live here in the

:06:29.:06:33.

studio. But first Simon Jones joins us live from Downing Street. And

:06:33.:06:40.

Simon, campaigners say it's been a historic day. Victims of stalking

:06:40.:06:43.

and bereaved families came to Downing Street today to hear the

:06:44.:06:49.

Prime Minister described stalking as abhorrent. Last year, there were

:06:49.:06:52.

120,000 victims of stalking, but just 20 stalkers were jailed for

:06:52.:06:56.

more than a year. At the moment, the police have to wait for a

:06:56.:07:02.

suspect to commit another offence such as harassment to take action,

:07:02.:07:06.

but now stalking is set to become a crime in its own right.

:07:06.:07:11.

Today in Downing Street, the culmination of a mother's six-year

:07:11.:07:15.

campaign fought stalking to be taken more seriously. Clare is

:07:15.:07:19.

always with me. And I know that she gives me the strength to continue

:07:19.:07:26.

my work, and I know it was the right thing to do. I feel in a lot

:07:26.:07:31.

of ways that Clare's life has not be lost in vain. As I said, there

:07:31.:07:37.

is still a lot of work to be down. A lot of training. But we are

:07:37.:07:43.

making huge progress and today will go down in history for all of us.

:07:43.:07:47.

This is where Clare Bernal was killed. Her stalker, Michael Pech,

:07:47.:07:52.

had admitted harassing her in August 2005 but was released on

:07:52.:07:56.

bail. That September, he shot her dead before turning the gun on

:07:56.:08:01.

himself. In July 2008, Clare's mother launched a charity to help

:08:01.:08:05.

combat stalking. I don't think we have done enough, listening today

:08:05.:08:09.

to some of the victims of stalking, and to brave women who have lost

:08:09.:08:13.

their daughters to stalkers, come here to Number Ten to talk about it

:08:13.:08:16.

with real passion, who say they want better police training, they

:08:17.:08:19.

want the courts and victim Support to do better and they bought a

:08:19.:08:23.

separate offence so we were really get to grips with what is a serious

:08:23.:08:26.

crime. I don't think we were getting -- we have done enough in

:08:26.:08:30.

the past about want to do better. Powerful testimony for those who

:08:30.:08:35.

know. It destroys your life. I have had to move five times, I became so

:08:35.:08:40.

unwell and was miscarried, I had depression and post-traumatic

:08:40.:08:45.

stress disorder. I am not a weak person but when you are under

:08:45.:08:49.

attack, and that is what stalking is, you are being terrorised by

:08:49.:08:53.

someone and you are made to feel fear for day and night, looking

:08:53.:08:56.

over your shoulder. It is draining and exhausting and a terrible way

:08:56.:09:01.

to live your life. Clare Bernal's mother said her only fault was to

:09:01.:09:05.

see the good in of the body. Campaigners say this is a grade A,

:09:05.:09:10.

-- a great day, but they admit it is only the start and mourn these

:09:10.:09:14.

to be do. There have commenced the PM to take stalking more City, now

:09:14.:09:21.

they need to convince the courts and police to do the same -- to

:09:21.:09:25.

take stalking more seriously. Do you think that if this law had

:09:25.:09:31.

been in place, that Clare's death could have been prevented?

:09:31.:09:38.

Certainly, things were so different then. Where the West Dart? Nobody

:09:38.:09:45.

understood, the police did not, -- where do I start? Right way through

:09:45.:09:52.

the system, no one understood the seriousness of it. Clare thought

:09:52.:09:56.

she was going to the professionals, but the reality was they did not

:09:56.:10:00.

understand stalking. Do you think they understand it more now? The

:10:00.:10:03.

problem seems to be there are laws that can deal with harassment, but

:10:03.:10:08.

people were not taking it seriously enough. Do you feel that has

:10:08.:10:13.

changed? Absolutely. Because this potentially lead meet -- new

:10:13.:10:18.

stalking law will stand alone, stalking is such an individual

:10:18.:10:25.

issue, it is many, many incidents together. They together become

:10:26.:10:31.

something which is really something very sinister. So it needs

:10:32.:10:37.

specialism. Absolutely, and all agencies will now have procedures

:10:37.:10:45.

in place, they will insure that... I am so overwhelmed by today, I

:10:45.:10:49.

cannot tell you, I am still on cloud nine, it has been wonderful

:10:49.:10:54.

to hear the Prime Minister say what he said. He totally understood the

:10:54.:10:59.

problems of stalking. Now everything else will follow. It is

:10:59.:11:03.

very important that we have certain things in place. It is important we

:11:03.:11:10.

have treatment for offenders, we need advocacy for victims. Also

:11:11.:11:14.

greater awareness and training. That is what we are looking for.

:11:14.:11:19.

Thank you so much for coming in. A workman is in a critical

:11:19.:11:22.

condition after suffering a severe electric shock in Hove. The man,

:11:22.:11:25.

who's in his 30s, has been taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in

:11:25.:11:29.

Brighton, after receiving the shock from an underground cable.

:11:29.:11:32.

A mother and daughter from Canterbury have gone on trial at

:11:32.:11:35.

the Old Bailey accused of murder. Don Banfield disappeared in 2001

:11:35.:11:39.

and his body's never been found. His wife Shirley and daughter

:11:39.:11:41.

Lynette have admitted fraud, forgery and conspiracy to pervert

:11:41.:11:44.

the course of justice after continuing to claim his pension,

:11:44.:11:51.

but they deny killing him. Manston Airport in Kent has been

:11:51.:11:55.

put up for sale by its owner, Infratil. Managers recently applied

:11:55.:11:57.

for permission for extra night flights and hope to benefit from

:11:57.:12:01.

increased air traffic generated by the Olympic games. They say

:12:01.:12:09.

business will continue as usual while plans for the sale proceed.

:12:09.:12:13.

A variety of people will be interested in assets such as ours.

:12:13.:12:19.

But airport capacity being under great pressure as we return to

:12:19.:12:23.

economic growth, particularly in South East, we see the argument

:12:23.:12:27.

about Boris Ireland every day, we are part of the solution to that

:12:27.:12:30.

and that is what we are looking for people to invest in.

:12:30.:12:33.

Kingsnorth Power Station is to close in a year's time, with the

:12:33.:12:35.

loss of more than 120 jobs. The coal-powered plant near Rochester

:12:35.:12:38.

was built in the 1970s and the electricity company E.on had hoped

:12:38.:12:41.

to replace it. But their plans have now been scrapped, as our

:12:41.:12:46.

environment correspondent Yvette Austin reports.

:12:46.:12:52.

It has dominated this guy on the who peninsula since the 1960s. A

:12:52.:12:56.

reliable supply of power feeding the National Grid but it burns also

:12:56.:13:01.

feels, and emissions levels do not meet modern standards. -- it burnt

:13:01.:13:08.

fossil fuels. Back in 2008, it was given an allocation of hours to run.

:13:08.:13:12.

By next year, we will have used up the hours so we are have to her

:13:12.:13:21.

seat -- cease power generation. Dion -- E.on announced plans in

:13:21.:13:25.

2062 build a new plant but it was met with controversy. In 2007,

:13:25.:13:30.

Greenpeace occupied the existing station. In 2008, hundreds of

:13:30.:13:34.

people camped near the site in protest. They were conversations

:13:34.:13:40.

with police. And in 2009, activists boarded a ship delivering coal to

:13:40.:13:44.

Kingsnorth. The plans for a king's law two were abandoned later that

:13:44.:13:51.

year, though -- a Kingsnorth two were abandoned, broke E.on said it

:13:51.:13:58.

was down to economic conditions rather than protest. I would not

:13:58.:14:02.

mind moving into an IT role in the power station, but the

:14:02.:14:05.

opportunities are not there for everyone so there is nothing we can

:14:05.:14:09.

do. A number of villagers work in the power station, and some people

:14:09.:14:14.

from the power station go in at lunchtime, and that will have an

:14:14.:14:20.

effect. In 12 months' time, the turbines. Turning. And this great

:14:20.:14:23.

electricity machine which has helped keep our light on for more

:14:23.:14:27.

than three decades which find -- will finally switch off. The money

:14:27.:14:32.

locally, it will be the end of an era. -- for many locally.

:14:32.:14:36.

Our top story tonight. A father from Brighton is campaigning for a

:14:36.:14:40.

change in the law to ensure online bullies are prosecuted. Scott

:14:40.:14:42.

Freeman's also setting up a charity after so-called cyber-bullying led

:14:42.:14:48.

his 12-year-old daughter Poppy to consider suicide.

:14:48.:14:52.

Also in tonight's programme: Mind the gap, stand clear of the

:14:52.:14:55.

doors, we meet the man who wants you to shed your preconceptions

:14:55.:15:02.

about his hobby. And join me as Brighton Pier

:15:02.:15:05.

continues its search for a new owner, but could that be a Tibetan

:15:06.:15:15.
:15:16.:15:16.

Former steel workers who lost their jobs when their company went into

:15:16.:15:18.

administration travelled from Kent to Westminster today to ask MPs to

:15:18.:15:22.

do more to help them. More than 350 people at the Thamesteel plant in

:15:22.:15:27.

Sheerness were made redundant in January. They say it's hard to find

:15:27.:15:29.

new jobs in the current economic climate, as our business

:15:29.:15:39.
:15:39.:15:40.

correspondent Mark Norman reports. They met outside there for more

:15:40.:15:44.

workplace to travel to London. Now claiming benefits, the last few

:15:44.:15:48.

weeks have been tough for all of them. Today they wanted to push MPs

:15:48.:15:54.

to do more to help and find a new owner for Obama. We are hoping the

:15:54.:16:01.

MPs -- a new owner for Thamesteel. We are hoping the MPs will get us

:16:01.:16:06.

back running again. There is a need for jobs on the island, there is no

:16:06.:16:11.

industry or jobs that. If we can keep the pressure on, and tried to

:16:12.:16:16.

get to prospective buyers and tell us how good we are as a work force.

:16:16.:16:21.

That is what we are going to be all about. The plant was closed by its

:16:21.:16:26.

sadly owners in January. Without jobs and salaries, some former

:16:26.:16:31.

workers have had to accept charity food baskets to survive. Local

:16:31.:16:35.

politicians set up a taskforce to try and find a buyer but most of

:16:35.:16:38.

the interest has been from asset strippers. Two hours later, they

:16:39.:16:45.

emerge happy with what has been said. Everything they said, let's

:16:45.:16:50.

just hope they get in there and do it for the workers and the families

:16:50.:16:55.

on the Isle of Sheppey. The local MP reiterate his concern.

:16:55.:17:02.

existing owners, of course, need to get a return on the money, and

:17:02.:17:06.

unless any bid is a high enough, they could be tempted to close it

:17:06.:17:11.

down, it strip it back and ship the plant overseas. That is what we

:17:11.:17:16.

have got to try and persuade them not to do. There is optimism. The

:17:16.:17:19.

administrators have extended the closing date for a sale until 16th

:17:19.:17:23.

March, but no one is kidding themselves. Finding a buyer for

:17:23.:17:33.
:17:33.:17:35.

Remember the good old days, when you pulled up to a petrol station

:17:35.:17:40.

and an attendant filled the tank for you? Well, Deenah Wheeler's

:17:40.:17:44.

been keeping the tradition alive. She's worked as a petrol pump

:17:44.:17:47.

attendant at Bidborough Service station near Tunbridge Wells for

:17:47.:17:51.

the past 36 years. But tomorrow she's finally hanging up her nozzle.

:17:51.:18:01.

For the latest in our My Photo series, this is Deenah's story.

:18:01.:18:08.

much would you like? Fill it up, please. I started in 1960 -- 1910

:18:08.:18:14.

d5. It used to be just petrol, but there were different types, to star,

:18:14.:18:20.

three-star, four-star and five-star. No diesel. The price then was

:18:20.:18:30.
:18:30.:18:30.

probably about 36 pence per gallon. We had a horse in, the person was

:18:30.:18:37.

actually coming to buy something but they had come in on their horse.

:18:37.:18:44.

So I stood there and held this big creature! �20 of unleaded? Yes

:18:44.:18:48.

please. We have lived in the village what it is six years and

:18:48.:18:52.

she has always been here. It is like having a mother here.

:18:52.:18:58.

Everything she does, I don't have to do anything! Today is my last

:18:58.:19:03.

day. Just being able to do something useful and help people,

:19:03.:19:09.

it is just in adorable. -- it is just enjoyable.

:19:09.:19:12.

That was the story behind Deenah Wheeler's photo. And we'd like you

:19:12.:19:15.

to send us your memorable pictures or videos. Send a copy to the

:19:15.:19:17.

or videos. Send a copy to the address on the screen now or email

:19:17.:19:19.

us at [email protected], and your story could feature on the

:19:19.:19:29.
:19:29.:19:30.

For the past nine months, Brighton Pier has been up for sale and now a

:19:30.:19:33.

most unlikely buyer has stepped forward. A Buddhist monk says he

:19:33.:19:36.

hopes to raise the money to buy the famous landmark, and turn it into a

:19:36.:19:39.

centre of worldwide hope and love. He's arranged an auction of artwork

:19:39.:19:43.

this weekend to start raising funds and says the works are valued at

:19:43.:19:52.

about �500,000. John Young joins us from Brighton Pier. This sounds

:19:52.:19:55.

extraordinary! It does, quite extraordinary, but in those nine

:19:56.:19:59.

months, many businesses have come forward from at home and abroad,

:19:59.:20:04.

the owner tell us. But no one saw this coming. A Tibetan monk has put

:20:04.:20:08.

his name forward and I met him this afternoon.

:20:08.:20:13.

It is a symbol of Brighton at it brashest. He is an London-born

:20:13.:20:17.

Tibetan monk who wants to see a gentler peer, pulling in the crowd

going to the city's bore. I truly believe that Britain and Hove have

a whole new future, are joining us, because its peer is happy, smiling,

:20:38.:20:43.

welcoming. And you can help do that? Absolutely said. I am

:20:43.:20:50.

determined. And here is how he plans to start. Kelsang Pawo has

:20:50.:20:55.

got together with an art action near with contacts, and she has

:20:55.:21:00.

come up with things like a signed photograph of the model Kate Moss.

:21:00.:21:05.

A signed painting from Gilbert and George. A raw but -- royal portrait

:21:05.:21:15.
:21:15.:21:15.

artist Barbara Hamilton has provide works. It is good to use art to

:21:15.:21:21.

help reborn art. The artists can help and rebuild the art. There is

:21:21.:21:26.

plenty of it, but the price tag on the peer is thought to be to and �5

:21:26.:21:33.

million, at least. What you say to a -- �25 million. What do you say

:21:33.:21:39.

to people who say this can't be real? I remember the same of Gandhi,

:21:40.:21:45.

first people laugh, then they ridicule you, then you win. They

:21:45.:21:48.

are looking forward to the auction pulled. What is meant to be, they

:21:48.:21:54.

say, will be. The auction is on Saturday on the

:21:54.:22:00.

Grand Hotel, which is operate the West Pier, the derelict one. The

:22:00.:22:03.

people who run that have had a frosty relationship with the other

peer, but they now say debt they wish Kelsang Pawo much-loved!

:22:12.:22:15.

In football, Brighton and Hove Albion left it late once again but

:22:15.:22:18.

they remain the only unbeaten side in the English leagues this year. A

:22:18.:22:21.

last-minute equaliser kept intact the Seagulls' run of 11 games

:22:21.:22:24.

undefeated in 2012. And as Neil Bell reports, it leaves them

:22:24.:22:30.

tantalisingly close to the Championship play-off places.

:22:30.:22:35.

Britain's record in their first season is pretty impressive, it is

:22:35.:22:38.

three months since they last lost at home. It was the visitors

:22:39.:22:44.

Cardiff who went ahead early in the second half. Jem Mason calmly

:22:44.:22:52.

finished from close range. -- Joan Mason. Craig Noone almost joined

:22:52.:22:57.

Cardiff and Ashley Barnes prodded home his 12th goal of the season.

:22:57.:23:03.

90 seconds later, the Albion were behind once more thanks to this

:23:03.:23:06.

magnificent strike from Peter Vincenti and, surely one of the

:23:07.:23:16.
:23:17.:23:17.

best goals seen here so far from stop in the 89's minute, an

:23:17.:23:25.

equaliser, and Gus Poyet is proud of the progress from the club.

:23:25.:23:31.

I thought two years ago, when I got the job, we would be playing

:23:31.:23:35.

Cardiff and there would be 11 players behind the halfway line. If

:23:35.:23:38.

you asked me when I was bottom half of League One if this was going to

:23:38.:23:45.

happen, I would say, you need some mental treatment! Now it is only

:23:45.:23:48.

goal difference that separates the Albion from the promotion play-off

:23:48.:23:51.

places. Exciting times!

:23:51.:23:55.

Men and sheds, we know how well they go together. But I think it's

:23:55.:23:58.

fair to say there are few men who've shown the same sort of

:23:58.:24:01.

devotion to their sheds as John Gardner, from East Sussex. Not

:24:02.:24:04.

satisfied with a humble wooden box, the rail enthusiast has lovingly

:24:04.:24:07.

converted his into a miniature railway station in his garden in

Bexhill. Ellie Price has been to meet him and his long-suffering

:24:11.:24:17.

wife. Every now and then, John Gardiner

can I come aboard? Of course you can! Welcome to my shed. What have

little boys, you go in a full circle, when you get to 60 you go

:25:12.:25:16.

back to your youth. This is what I have always wanted to do. Have a

:25:16.:25:20.

hobby, be involved in train somewhere, and this is a permanent

:25:20.:25:24.

feature of that. The shed took six weekends to build, during which

:25:24.:25:28.

time John's wife thought he had gone off the week -- gone off the

:25:28.:25:33.

rails. But she is happy now. I can join him if I want to, but if I

want peace and quiet, I live in their! The perfect outbuilding

outcome for John and his wife. In case you're worried about her, she

:25:42.:25:50.

has got her own place, her very own garden.

:25:50.:25:53.

He is building a railway all the way around!

:25:53.:26:02.

The rain from earlier in the week feels like a distant memory. Today

was settled, bright and mild, and as bigotry tonight it will be
