:00:20. > :00:26.The top stories... East Kent has lost more businesses than anywhere

:00:26. > :00:31.else in the last two years. We are live in Chatham with the story of

:00:31. > :00:34.Iman convicted for harassing neighbours. "Bold thinking is

:00:34. > :00:37.needed" - David Cameron gives the strongest endorsement yet of the

:00:37. > :00:47.idea of a Thames Estuary airport. We will bring forward options which

:00:47. > :00:54.

:00:54. > :00:57.will include protocol for a new airport in the Thames estuary.

:00:57. > :01:02.latest artistic addition to Hastings seafront - a one tonne

:01:02. > :01:05.winkle. We'll be live on the seafront. And what a Sport Relief

:01:05. > :01:07.that's over - how I just about managed to complete my swimming

:01:20. > :01:28.found guilty of racially aggravated harassment. Good evening. Research

:01:28. > :01:38.for the BBC shows that is Kent has lost more... The south-east does

:01:38. > :01:45.

:01:45. > :01:49.not do well, we came out bottom for export potential -- Research for

:01:49. > :01:52.the BBC has revealed that parts of east Kent have lost more businesses

:01:52. > :01:55.over the last two years than almost anywhere else in the country.

:01:55. > :01:58.Shepway came third from bottom in the Experian research, with only

:01:58. > :02:01.Hounslow and Knowsley in Liverpool faring worse. The South East as a

:02:01. > :02:03.whole doesn't do much better. We came out bottom for export

:02:03. > :02:06.potential. Second to bottom for Business Champions, that's

:02:06. > :02:10.companies that have potential for high growth. And Dover is the only

:02:10. > :02:12.local authority in the top 50 where the number of businesses has grown.

:02:12. > :02:15.Our Business Correspondent Mark Norman reports. It has been

:02:15. > :02:18.sluggish but the interest we have received is serious rather than a

:02:18. > :02:21.lot of people considering their options, they are more focused on

:02:21. > :02:24.what they want to do. That reflects the fact the research also says

:02:24. > :02:28.Shepway, along with Dave -- Dover and Wilder are in the top five

:02:28. > :02:32.authorities for business start-ups. I have ice-cream which is local

:02:32. > :02:37.made... The around 10% growth in a couple of years. I have always been

:02:37. > :02:42.in a full-time job earning an income that way. I thought why not

:02:42. > :02:47.try to do something different and a bit extra on the side? Do something

:02:47. > :02:50.for myself instead of other people for a change. The research also

:02:51. > :02:57.looked at where growth might come from. What is interesting for the

:02:58. > :03:01.region is it has a high volume in absolute terms of war we referred

:03:02. > :03:06.to as business growth champions, smaller, younger companies with

:03:06. > :03:11.entrepreneurial directors. Companies like this in Brighton,

:03:11. > :03:14.they'd print adverts on almost every bus ticket issued in the UK.

:03:14. > :03:18.This is all we are looking to in the future, to invest in the

:03:18. > :03:23.company so we can Grove, expand, but there is an element of heads

:03:23. > :03:26.down, we have to get on with the job in hand. Growth and developing

:03:26. > :03:34.companies will be key element of the Budget this week delivered by

:03:35. > :03:37.the Chancellor this Wednesday. Later tonight there is a special

:03:37. > :03:44.programme on that our economy hosted by Natalie Graham he joins

:03:44. > :03:48.us from Brighton. It looks like you will be a lively programme. It is.

:03:48. > :03:52.When you get the big political play is in the region and asked them how

:03:52. > :03:56.best to encourage economic growth, we have members of the government,

:03:56. > :03:59.representatives from local councils, businessmen and women from Kent and

:03:59. > :04:04.Sussex and also some of those directly affected by unemployment.

:04:04. > :04:10.One of a more provocative guests is Katy Hopkins, you may remember she

:04:10. > :04:15.was one of Alan Sugar's prospective apprentices a few years back. She

:04:15. > :04:18.argues we should be concrete in over the countryside. 12% of

:04:18. > :04:22.businesses say they are looking for new premises, cannot get hold of

:04:22. > :04:25.them, and they would employ 2004 people if they could. It is all

:04:25. > :04:29.very well to love the countryside and landscape, but the view has

:04:29. > :04:34.changed, the economy is not as it was, we need growth and it is time

:04:34. > :04:40.to change the way we think about the countryside and focus on jobs.

:04:40. > :04:44.You can imagine how the agreement - - the Green MP got on with Katie,

:04:44. > :04:48.tune in later to find out. They run moving moments, too, when we hear

:04:48. > :04:58.from the long for a -- young father who has lost his job and a graduate

:04:58. > :05:02.

:05:02. > :05:12.who cannot find employment two You can catch up with the debate at

:05:12. > :05:20.

:05:20. > :05:22.11:05pm tonight. A Kent teacher who put his German neighbour through "a

:05:22. > :05:25.living hell" blasting out war tunes and performing Nazi salutes has

:05:25. > :05:27.been found guilty of racially aggravated harassment. Geoffrey

:05:27. > :05:30.Butler, from Lower Upnor, subjected Reinhardt Wendt and his wife

:05:30. > :05:33.Catherine to four years of misery by loudly playing and whistling

:05:33. > :05:36.Rule Brittania and the Dambusters Theme. Simon Jones is in Chatham.

:05:36. > :05:39.Mr Butler's campaign against his German neighbours was more than

:05:39. > :05:42.just that, wasn't it? The court also heard he played Out recordings

:05:42. > :05:45.us binges by Winston Churchill, the White Cliffs of Dover, it was so

:05:45. > :05:48.loud that the neighbours could not hear the television. It stemmed

:05:48. > :05:52.from a minor dispute over a bit of land but rapidly spiralled out of

:05:52. > :05:57.control. His neighbours say he has been a nightmare, comparing the

:05:57. > :06:07.experience to water torture. cannot move freely around your

:06:07. > :06:07.

:06:07. > :06:12.house without being attacked verbally, all with cameras, --

:06:12. > :06:19.verbally, or with cameras. It is very difficult living like that.

:06:19. > :06:27.has been hell. It has been really awful, difficult living there,

:06:27. > :06:31.having nightmares, not sleeping. We have just been sold step. The case

:06:31. > :06:35.only came to an end in the last hour or so, what sentence was he

:06:36. > :06:40.given -- so upset. He has been given any restraining order me

:06:40. > :06:43.cannot play loud music, or recordings of speeches, or display

:06:43. > :06:46.threatening behaviour. But his victims said they did not want him

:06:46. > :06:50.to go to jail, they are not after revenge, they just wanted to be

:06:50. > :06:56.able to live a normal life. He was given a conditional discharge

:06:56. > :07:03.meaning he cannot make any further offence over the next three years.

:07:03. > :07:13.In a moment... The exact route of the torch relay through Sussex and

:07:13. > :07:20.

:07:20. > :07:22.The exact street by street route of the 2012 Olympic Torch relay

:07:22. > :07:26.through the South East has been announced today together with the

:07:26. > :07:29.hundreds of people carrying it. The flame arrives here on the July 16th

:07:29. > :07:32.with an overnight stop in Brighton, it will then travel through Sussex

:07:32. > :07:39.and on to Kent and Surrey passing through more than 50 towns and

:07:39. > :07:43.villages over the next four days. Neil Bell joins us from Crowborough.

:07:43. > :07:48.Back in 1948 the torch was carried by fit young men recruited from

:07:48. > :07:52.local athletics clubs. This summer there will be some very special

:07:52. > :07:56.torch bearers. Emma Williams will carry the torch as it passes

:07:56. > :08:00.through Gillingham. Then a set up a charity to help people like her son,

:08:00. > :08:08.Matthew, who has a rare form of epilepsy and was nominated by

:08:08. > :08:15.colleagues. Well, the Olympics are coming to Great Britain! Well! I

:08:15. > :08:18.will be on the torch Bering team, big on a, I am proud to be British.

:08:18. > :08:24.-- torch bearing. I think there will be a party on this House in

:08:24. > :08:27.that day. Eddie Kidd will be a torch-bearer in Lewes. He was

:08:27. > :08:31.famous for daredevil stunt riding and jumping before a serious

:08:31. > :08:41.accident in 1986. Last the he amazed everyone by completing the

:08:41. > :08:45.

:08:45. > :08:50.London Marathon after walking a The biggest thing I have done since

:08:50. > :08:55.jumping the Great Wall of China. Mel will carry the torch in

:08:55. > :08:58.Maidstone. It should not trouble him as he has competed over 80

:08:58. > :09:02.marathons for charity but is thrilled by the prospect --

:09:02. > :09:08.completed. It is wonderful, chuffed to bits to be nominated. Very

:09:08. > :09:16.pleased. I think the day will be fantastic for Maidstone and the

:09:16. > :09:21.I am grateful to have the opportunity. In the space of five

:09:21. > :09:24.days the torch will pass through Brighton to the rural villages of

:09:24. > :09:27.Kent on its way to the biggest show on earth. It is the most iconic

:09:27. > :09:31.symbol of the Games and the delivery of the Olympic flame to

:09:31. > :09:38.the host city has become one of the most important traditions of the

:09:38. > :09:46.Olympic movement. We can go live to Crowborough. It will actually go

:09:46. > :09:49.through there, won't it? Absolutely. We know exactly when, back in

:09:49. > :09:54.November we had a rough idea but now we know it will come here on

:09:54. > :10:02.17th July. It will enter Crowborough at 12:00pm, leave at

:10:02. > :10:11.2pm, and come here at about 12:20pm. You can find out the exact route on

:10:11. > :10:15.Some of the statistics that have come out so just over 50% of people

:10:15. > :10:19.say they will actively get involved when the torch relight comes to

:10:19. > :10:29.their location. It will be busy round here about that time. Thank

:10:29. > :10:39.Log on to your local BBC website to find out when and where the torch

:10:39. > :10:41.

:10:41. > :10:43.will beanie you. -- will be near to The Diocese of Chichester has urged

:10:43. > :10:46.its priests and parishioners to be vigilant about any allegation of

:10:46. > :10:49.child abuse. In a letter, the acting Bishop of Chichester Mark

:10:49. > :10:52.Horsham says every effort is being taken to "root out anyone who is

:10:52. > :10:56.guilty of sexual offences". The letter follows the arrest of two

:10:56. > :11:00.Sussex clergymen for alleged sexual offences against children. A man

:11:00. > :11:03.has been taken to hospital with facial injuries after an attack on

:11:03. > :11:07.Brighton seafront. He was walking with friends on the early hours of

:11:07. > :11:11.Saturday morning when a bottle was thrown in his face after an

:11:11. > :11:16.argument. A 19 year-old man from Brighton was arrested on suspicion

:11:16. > :11:21.of GBH. The jury in the trial of a convicted sex attacker accused of

:11:21. > :11:28.raping a woman two decades ago have heard closing arguments. Antoni

:11:28. > :11:31.Imiela denies rape, indecent assault and another sexual offence.

:11:31. > :11:34.Although we've seen heavy showers over the weekend, the reality is

:11:34. > :11:40.they'll have made little difference to the many ponds and streams that

:11:40. > :11:43.have all but dried up over the last 18 months.

:11:43. > :11:46.Wildlife experts are now warning that many animals and insects are

:11:46. > :11:49.at risk as a result, especially creatures like frogs and newts. Roz

:11:49. > :11:53.Upton has tonights special report. Walking across the dried-out bed of

:11:53. > :12:00.a pond in Tunbridge Wells, it is clear the drought is taking its

:12:00. > :12:03.toll. A very water loving plants here, you would expect there needs

:12:12. > :12:15.rainfall for 10 of the past 17 months. Standing by this pond I

:12:15. > :12:19.would normally expect the water to be above my knees but it feels more

:12:19. > :12:23.like a Bobby puddle. There are several nudes in this deep hollow,

:12:23. > :12:27.they will be spawning soon under the Pont tries out more the

:12:27. > :12:32.offspring could die. A continuing dry spell is forecast and experts

:12:32. > :12:35.warn many more species will be affected towards summer. It will

:12:35. > :12:40.have an impact on all the animals that are dependent on the streams.

:12:41. > :12:44.It could be mammals that come to drink there, frogs, insects, the

:12:44. > :12:49.dragonflies, the butterflies that are so much part of our countryside.

:12:49. > :12:52.There are foxes that commanded the frogs, they will find less to be

:12:52. > :12:58.there, they will get hungry, they will look elsewhere and expect

:12:58. > :13:02.there will be fewer cubs next summer. The burrows of water voles

:13:02. > :13:06.are exposed to predators like stones when streams are dry. The

:13:07. > :13:11.chicks of lapwings and other wading birds already in decline at feed on

:13:11. > :13:14.aquatic insects. If their habitat tries up there for La Vie form,

:13:18. > :13:22.are worried in terms of the impact, we had never seen flows like this

:13:22. > :13:25.at this time of year so we will see changes now when the populations of

:13:25. > :13:28.certain invertebrates which will have an impact on the overall

:13:28. > :13:35.environment of the river. So it is not just a major issue for humans,

:13:35. > :13:38.but for wildlife. In Dover the water is very low. Conservation

:13:38. > :13:46.groups have warned the cumulative effect of dry conditions will be a

:13:46. > :13:51.change in the south-east's This is tonight's top story.

:13:51. > :13:55.Research for the BBC has revealed parts of East Kent have lost more

:13:55. > :14:05.businesses in the last two years than almost anywhere else in the

:14:05. > :14:07.

:14:07. > :14:12.country. Shepway came third. Also tonight, it's one tonne of

:14:12. > :14:16.polished stainless steel wingle. We take a look at Hayes tinges latest

:14:16. > :14:25.artwork. And the biggest haul of Roman coins

:14:25. > :14:29.get cleaned up for public display. David Cameron has given the

:14:29. > :14:32.strongest endorsement yet by his Government of the possibility of an

:14:32. > :14:36.airport in the Thames Estuary. In a keynote speech setting out his

:14:37. > :14:42.long-term vision tor British Transport infrastructure, the Prime

:14:42. > :14:46.Minister said the coalition's aifyailgs yaigs strat fridge would

:14:46. > :14:52.include pros and cons for a new airport. Mr Cameron said bold

:14:52. > :14:58.thinking is needed to make sure the UK doesn't give up its status as a

:14:58. > :15:03.global hub for air travel. For those opposed to a Thames

:15:03. > :15:08.Estuary airport, today was a game- changer. For the first time in a

:15:08. > :15:13.keynote speech, the Prime Minister said it was an option. Yes, this

:15:13. > :15:17.will be controversial. We will need to take decisions for the long-term

:15:17. > :15:20.and we'll bring forward options in our aviation strategy which will

:15:20. > :15:25.include an examination of the pros and cons of a new airport in the

:15:25. > :15:29.Thames Estuary. The Mayor of London had pre- iously described the so-

:15:29. > :15:34.called Boris island proposal as bold. The Prime Minister today

:15:34. > :15:38.exoed those sentiments which is why local politicss were worried.

:15:38. > :15:42.does up the anti-y somewhat. We need to be saying very clearly that

:15:42. > :15:46.there are alternatives. The estuary airport isn't the only option.

:15:47. > :15:50.There are many other alternatives to find an increased level of the

:15:50. > :15:55.passenger movement. That's why so many MPs and councillors have

:15:55. > :15:59.written an open letter to a national new paper saying aircraft

:15:59. > :16:03.using this airport would be 12 times more at risk than from bird

:16:03. > :16:07.strike than any other airport in the UK. Great swathes of

:16:07. > :16:13.countryside would have to be developed and there would be

:16:13. > :16:19.dramatic effects on ex- isting airports. I only have one hub

:16:19. > :16:25.airport. If you want to go with Boris and have an estuary airport,

:16:25. > :16:29.you put under threat 170,000 jobs in the West London economy. It will

:16:29. > :16:35.be devastating. Those who are desperate for regeneration in

:16:35. > :16:39.Medway say an airport could provide an economic boost. There's no

:16:39. > :16:44.public money around. Any regeneration has to come from the

:16:44. > :16:47.private sector. This airport project, if it's ever built, is

:16:47. > :16:52.promising fantastic amounts of regeneration. The Prime Minister

:16:52. > :16:55.talked about a new Victorian era of construction. Opponents say the

:16:55. > :17:05.Victorians didn't care of the environment and an airport would

:17:05. > :17:13.

:17:13. > :17:18.It stands more than six feet tall, weighs the best part of a tonne and

:17:18. > :17:27.from today, is a distinctive new landmark on Hastings seafront. It

:17:27. > :17:33.is a stainless steel sculpture of a huge wingle. Leigh Dyer was

:17:33. > :17:38.commissioned to create it. Made from polished stainless steel,

:17:38. > :17:45.the new addition to Hastings seafront is hard to miss. It is

:17:45. > :17:53.very appropriate. Yes. Very attractive. It's time they had a

:17:53. > :18:00.new winkle. I think it's more or less like a trademark. It is very

:18:00. > :18:03.good. Very in keeping with the old town. It took local sculptor, Leigh

:18:03. > :18:10.Dyer, more than a year to build. With the final touches being made

:18:10. > :18:14.over the weekend. I wanted to capture various bits and pieces

:18:15. > :18:20.that you'd find all over Hastings beach. The obvious thing is the

:18:20. > :18:26.winkle shell. Part of the club. All around the base, there are various

:18:27. > :18:32.bits of equipment they would use. Net needles, floats, rope. This

:18:32. > :18:37.item here is called a fid. They'd use it to open up the ropes when

:18:37. > :18:43.making particular kinds of knots. The piece was commissioned by

:18:43. > :18:48.historic charity the Hastings Winkle Club which helps

:18:48. > :18:55.underprivileged people in East Sussex. Lee wants to come up with a

:18:55. > :19:00.few surprises. When a coin gets put through the slot in there, let's do

:19:00. > :19:07.that shall we. Just rings that bell to encourage kids to give a little

:19:07. > :19:17.bit more. Encouragement to put coins in. For a local sculpture,

:19:17. > :19:22.Leigh wanted to reflect the local marine life. Here we have a halibut,

:19:22. > :19:27.and Skol ops. I can't wait to see it. With these older sculptures,

:19:27. > :19:32.Leigh Dyer has already made his mark in the old town. He wants his

:19:32. > :19:40.new stainless steel wingle to be there for generations to enjoy.

:19:40. > :19:44.Of course they are a rye-based Skol ops. Charlie joins us from Hastings.

:19:44. > :19:49.Leigh Dyer's already got plans for another sculpture? That's right.

:19:49. > :19:52.Leigh was paid around �8,000 for the sculpture. When you think it

:19:53. > :19:57.took him a year and two months to build and you take into account of

:19:57. > :20:03.the cost of tools and materials, did the not -- it is not a fortune.

:20:03. > :20:08.He has to earn a living. His next commission is down the road in

:20:08. > :20:12.Bexhill, due to start in the next few weeks. It is a sheltered

:20:12. > :20:18.seating area in the shape of a dinosaur. Whether it will be as

:20:18. > :20:22.spectacular as the Hastings Winkle, we'll have to wait and see.

:20:22. > :20:28.We will, indeed. Hard to beat a goat wingle.

:20:28. > :20:34.A haul of Roman coins found in Sussex will go on display in

:20:34. > :20:42.Brighton. The collection is worth �40,000.

:20:42. > :20:46.28 95 koips were recovered in total. They are dated between 1 50 and 2

:20:46. > :20:51.68AD. We've been to see the collection, believed to be the

:20:51. > :20:56.biggest ever found in Sussex. Tim Simmons discovered countless

:20:56. > :21:01.rusty nails and coins over the years before unearthing a hidden

:21:01. > :21:05.piste of history. When the coins came out of the ground they were

:21:05. > :21:10.completely covered in clay. You don't find 3,000 Roman coins very

:21:10. > :21:16.often. It may never happen to me again. You do find lots of things

:21:16. > :21:22.of real interest. In this case, real value. The horde was worth

:21:22. > :21:27.just over �40,000. The job of cataloguing them all faulgs to the

:21:32. > :21:37.haul found for the last 75 years. It is really quite special. Some

:21:37. > :21:46.extremery rare indeed. We have only the second known example of a coin

:21:46. > :21:50.of this imperial lady called sarbinia. That coin, along with

:21:50. > :21:55.another, are so rare, they are worth �10,000 for the pair. The

:21:55. > :22:00.cash value will be split between Tim and the landowner where the

:22:00. > :22:07.horde was found. It is an agriculture area, you expect to

:22:07. > :22:12.find rusty nails. To uncover what became 3,000 Roman coins from the

:22:12. > :22:17.third century, wonderful stuff. Despite his big find, Tim isn't

:22:17. > :22:21.hanging up metal deter yet. He believes out there is a stash of

:22:21. > :22:24.treasure from the Battle of Hastings. If we could find that

:22:24. > :22:28.trench, there would be pressure beyond imagination. It is here

:22:28. > :22:33.somewhere. If you're not lucky enough to uncover your own horde,

:22:34. > :22:37.you can see this when it goes on display at the Brighton pafilian

:22:37. > :22:41.museum later this year. In the summerle

:23:10. > :23:14.the lead through Bradley Wright- Phillips. Thompson gifted the Irons

:23:14. > :23:18.a penalty. Crawley Town had to come from

:23:18. > :23:27.behind against Port Vale. A brace from Gary Alexander, including the

:23:27. > :23:32.winner, gave the Red Devils their first win.

:23:32. > :23:34.This fantastic lob was from Jordan Obita mean the Gills are The civil

:23:41. > :23:47.the play-off places. I undertook a bit of a sporting

:23:47. > :23:53.challenge over the weekend. I completed a Sport Relief triathlon

:23:53. > :24:00.challenge across Sussex and Kent. He says triathlon. He only swam

:24:00. > :24:06.around Brighton Pier about three- quarter of a mile. Then claims he

:24:06. > :24:11.cycled 100 miles. Then finished with a ten-mile run. Could it be

:24:11. > :24:21.true? It is 8.00, time to get going. It is a lot rougher than we

:24:54. > :24:58.Essential training athletic food. Cup of tea, two sugars.

:24:58. > :25:02.And then he got back in the car! How are the legs?

:25:02. > :25:06.Surprisingly, not too bad. I'm feeling all right today. I have

:25:06. > :25:09.picked up something of an injury which was yesterday when I put the

:25:09. > :25:13.recycling out and by back went a bit!

:25:13. > :25:18.I hope you made the miss us a cup of tea for Mother's Day?

:25:18. > :25:22.It was a fantastic thing to do. Loads of people came out to say

:25:22. > :25:26.hello. There were lots of people at the Turner contemporary to give me

:25:26. > :25:29.a round of applause at the end. If you want to donate to Sport Relief

:25:29. > :25:33.this year which helps charities in the UK and some of the world's

:26:09. > :26:13.back by Wednesday and Thursday. A little cloudy by Friday.

:26:13. > :26:18.Temperatures still in the mid-teens. The reason for that, high pressure

:26:18. > :26:23.building from the south-west. A bit of fair weather cloud bubbling up

:26:23. > :26:28.into the afternoon. Decent spells of sunshine. Temperatures up to 13
