:00:06. > :00:09.Tonight's top stories: Rated inadequate - the Marlowe
:00:09. > :00:14.Academy, once heralded as the future for education, gets a
:00:14. > :00:20.damning Ofsted report. At the bottom of the line, children are
:00:20. > :00:22.being failed miserably. A small step on a long road - the
:00:22. > :00:29.wife of a paralysed Kent man welcomes an MP's debate about
:00:29. > :00:32.changing the law on assisted dying. Also in tonight's programme:
:00:32. > :00:36.As the sun shines and the hosepipe ban looms, sales of water butts
:00:36. > :00:39.rocket by 200%. As the south east's gardeners prepare to battle the
:00:39. > :00:43.drought, we're live at Brighton's Royal Pavilion.
:00:43. > :00:52.The Sussex B&B that lets you get really close to nature, but if you
:00:52. > :00:55.don't like heights, you "wooden" like it.
:00:55. > :01:05.And we meet the new stars of Strictly, Pasha and Katya, as they
:01:05. > :01:12.
:01:12. > :01:15.take their talents on tour in Kent. Good evening. It was heralded as
:01:15. > :01:18.the future of education when it opened in 2005, but one of Kent's
:01:18. > :01:20.flagship academy schools has been put in special measures after a
:01:20. > :01:25.damning inspection by Ofsted. The Marlowe Academy in Ramsgate has
:01:25. > :01:28.been given an overall rating of inadequate. The quality of teaching
:01:28. > :01:37.is also described as inadequate. And the school's capacity for
:01:37. > :01:40.sustained improvement is also branded inadequate.
:01:40. > :01:44.A �30 million investment designed to replace the Ramsgate School,
:01:44. > :01:50.which was dubbed the worst in the country. But now the Academy itself
:01:50. > :01:55.is in special measures. It is very worrying. My children are doing
:01:55. > :02:02.well here, but it makes me wonder wave they would be if the school
:02:02. > :02:06.was doing better. The exam results worry me. But my son has only just
:02:06. > :02:11.started, and he has a few years until he starts his exams.
:02:11. > :02:15.Hopefully, things will pick up by then. The Ofsted report published
:02:15. > :02:19.today related to an inspection in November and says the academies
:02:19. > :02:23.failing to give its pupils an acceptable standard of education.
:02:23. > :02:27.Those responsible for leading, managing or governing the school
:02:27. > :02:31.are not demonstrating the capacity to secure the necessary improvement.
:02:31. > :02:38.Too much teaching fails to support effective learning because
:02:38. > :02:44.expectations are low. It is an absolute shambles and a disgrace.
:02:44. > :02:48.At the bottom of the line, children are being failed miserably. It is a
:02:48. > :02:52.challenging area. The proportion of pupils with special educational
:02:52. > :02:56.needs or disabilities is three times the national average. Those
:02:56. > :03:00.eligible for free school meals is double the national figure. Pupils
:03:00. > :03:03.from ethnic minorities make up one in ten of the intake, but the
:03:03. > :03:09.school insists that the situation has changed since the November
:03:09. > :03:15.inspection. I am disappointed, particularly as the Ofsted
:03:15. > :03:21.inspection took place in November, just two months after we brought
:03:21. > :03:25.him a senior management team with a group of advanced skills teachers
:03:25. > :03:30.to accelerate the progress we were making. Unfortunately, Ofsted were
:03:30. > :03:35.not able to take account of the new team we brought in because they had
:03:35. > :03:39.not had enough time to have effect. If Ofsted came again to the school
:03:39. > :03:46.now that we have got new management, we have a better rating than
:03:46. > :03:49.previously. It has its faults at times, but it caters for every one.
:03:49. > :03:54.The performing arts department has given me so much confidence.
:03:54. > :03:58.Without it, I would not be as confident as I am. The inspectors
:03:58. > :04:01.were back this week. The school is confident that their next report
:04:01. > :04:04.will be very different. And Simon Jones is at the Academy
:04:04. > :04:12.now. Simon, this is all a very far cry from the optimism when the
:04:12. > :04:15.Marlowe opened? When the Academy opened, there was an emphasis on
:04:15. > :04:20.vocational subjects, but then the government said it wanted all
:04:20. > :04:23.schools to concentrate on more academic subjects. The school
:04:23. > :04:27.accept that they were slow to change, and that is why they have
:04:27. > :04:32.fallen down the league tables. Also slow has been the length of time it
:04:32. > :04:36.took to get this report published, some four months. That is because
:04:36. > :04:40.of wrangling behind the scenes between the academy and Ofsted. The
:04:40. > :04:43.school are very unhappy about when this inspection took place. The
:04:43. > :04:47.report does make clear that things are getting better, but the big
:04:47. > :04:50.question is what would happen if things do not improve quickly
:04:50. > :04:54.enough. We put that to the government, but because the
:04:54. > :04:58.academies are so new, this is uncharted territory. The government
:04:58. > :05:01.says it will be prepared to take further action. But what that will
:05:01. > :05:04.be is unclear. A former Cranbrook rugby player who
:05:04. > :05:08.is paralysed from the neck down and has locked-in syndrome has welcomed
:05:08. > :05:10.a debate in the Commons on assisted dying. Today's motion, supported by
:05:10. > :05:14.the Brighton Pavilion MP Caroline Lucas, argued that prosecuting
:05:14. > :05:24.those who help a loved-one to die - at their request - may not always
:05:24. > :05:32.
:05:32. > :05:35.be in the public interest. This was not to condone suicide.
:05:35. > :05:39.Tony, who is paralysed and has locked-in syndrome, meaning he
:05:39. > :05:43.cannot speak, watched today's debate in the Commons with keen
:05:43. > :05:47.interest. Two weeks ago a judge ruled that he should be able to
:05:47. > :05:51.proceed with his right to die case. The former rugby player has been
:05:51. > :05:54.paralysed since suffering a stroke seven years ago. Currently, if he
:05:54. > :05:58.is helped to die, those who assist him could be charged with murder.
:05:58. > :06:03.The debate today in the House of Commons is a step in the right
:06:03. > :06:13.direction, albeit a very small step. It is nothing like what we are
:06:13. > :06:16.after. But any debate is good for us. This afternoon, MPs helped --
:06:16. > :06:20.held the first assisted suicide debate in the chamber since 1970.
:06:20. > :06:23.It comes after the Director of Public Prosecutions published new
:06:23. > :06:26.guidelines which said any decision over whether to prosecute someone
:06:26. > :06:30.should take account of their motivation and whether they stood
:06:30. > :06:34.to gain financially. The Green Party leader says there should be
:06:34. > :06:40.greater discretion. The essence of the advice is to give dying people
:06:40. > :06:44.the ability to live. It is the knowledge that they have control
:06:44. > :06:48.over when they die that allows them to live more fully and for longer.
:06:49. > :06:53.But critics say they should be very wary of changing the law. When
:06:53. > :06:56.people are killed and very vulnerable to influence fourfold by
:06:56. > :07:02.family, friends and particularly those providing care for them, it
:07:02. > :07:06.is only too easy for them to be persuaded either actively or
:07:06. > :07:10.passively that they would be better off dead. MPs will vote on whether
:07:10. > :07:14.they support the new guidelines. Campaigners say it is a positive
:07:14. > :07:18.move, but does not go far enough, as the government has no plans to
:07:18. > :07:21.change the law when it comes to assisted dying.

:07:43. > :07:45.honoured at St James's Palace. With a drought declared and
:07:46. > :07:50.hosepipe bans looming, gardeners are making plans to cope in the
:07:50. > :07:55.months ahead. Retailers have seen a 200% increase in demand for water
:07:55. > :07:59.butt sales in the south east compared to last year. That's well
:07:59. > :08:03.above the national average. There's also been a surge of interest in
:08:04. > :08:08.drought-resistant plants. Our reporter is live in Brighton for us
:08:08. > :08:16.now. Does that mean people are accepting the need for a hosepipe
:08:16. > :08:21.ban? Not everybody. One poll out today says a fifth of people are
:08:21. > :08:25.planning to take no notice of it. And the majority of people would
:08:25. > :08:30.not shop their neighbour if they saw them using a hosepipe. We are
:08:30. > :08:35.only days away from the ban coming in on April 5th, next Thursday,
:08:35. > :08:38.brought in because of this incredible spell of dry weather. It
:08:38. > :08:43.is the second driest year on record in the south-east. But at least
:08:43. > :08:48.that increase in the number of water butts being sold, 207 % up
:08:48. > :08:52.here, will be some comfort to the water companies. We are pleased to
:08:52. > :08:56.see sales of water butts going up, because that means our customers
:08:56. > :09:01.will be using rainwater for their gardens as opposed to tap water.
:09:01. > :09:05.That will help us get through the drought far more easily,
:09:05. > :09:11.particularly through the summer months. What about public spaces
:09:11. > :09:14.like Brighton Pavilion? Can they be kept green? Some of the water
:09:15. > :09:18.companies have been consulting on how far the ban should go. The
:09:18. > :09:23.general rule seems to be that public spaces like this will not be
:09:23. > :09:28.allowed to be watered. They will be left to go brown. The same goes for
:09:28. > :09:33.golf courses, bowling greens and tennis courts. The level of the
:09:33. > :09:39.reservoirs is so low at the moment that keeping the grass green is a
:09:39. > :09:42.very low priority. The exception to the rule will be sports venues that
:09:42. > :09:45.are hosting national or international events. And of course
:09:45. > :09:48.in this year, I wonder why that would be.
:09:48. > :09:51.A school exchange programme in East Grinstead has been brought to a
:09:51. > :09:54.halt over fears of illegal immigration. The visas of sixth

:10:00. > :10:03.A young woman's been left with a fractured jaw during a mass fight
:10:03. > :10:06.in Brighton over the weekend. The 21-year-old was treated at the
:10:06. > :10:10.Royal Sussex Hospital after the fight, which took place in the
:10:10. > :10:16.early hours of Saturday morning. Three men and two women were
:10:16. > :10:19.arrested on suspicion of affray. The Independent Police Complaints
:10:19. > :10:22.Commission has said it is not now investigating how a man fell onto
:10:22. > :10:24.the tracks at Brighton railway station last week. The man, who was
:10:24. > :10:27.airlifted to hospital, had spoken to Sussex Police officers earlier
:10:27. > :10:31.that day, but the Commission says they have no concerns about the
:10:31. > :10:33.conduct of the officers involved. People should have a greater say
:10:33. > :10:36.about what is built in their community and where, and the
:10:36. > :10:38.Government says that new changes to the planning guidelines, with a
:10:38. > :10:42."presumption in favour of sustainable development", will
:10:42. > :10:47.allow more homes to be built at a time when the South East faces a
:10:47. > :10:49.chronic shortage of housing. But environmental campaign group
:10:49. > :10:52.Friends Of The Earth say the changes will unleash "a building
:10:53. > :11:02.free-for-all". The Government, however, is adamant that the
:11:03. > :11:03.
:11:03. > :11:05.countryside will still be protected from over-development. This
:11:05. > :11:08.national policy planning framework will help build the homes the next
:11:08. > :11:13.generation needs. It supports growth to allow employers to create
:11:13. > :11:16.the jobs our constituents need. It protects what we hold dear in our
:11:16. > :11:19.matches countryside and the fabric of our history. It does so by
:11:19. > :11:22.taking power away from remote bodies and putting it into the
:11:22. > :11:25.hands of the people of England. The Government says the new
:11:25. > :11:28.guidelines will give local residents a greater say in how
:11:28. > :11:34.decisions are taken in their area. Ringmer, near Lewes, is one of 17
:11:34. > :11:38.areas in the country that have been piloting part of the guidelines.
:11:38. > :11:41.At first glance, Ringmer might not seem to be at the heart of the
:11:42. > :11:46.national planning debate, but for almost a year, it has been part of
:11:46. > :11:49.a government pilot scheme as part of the new planning regime. Local
:11:49. > :11:53.people, asked to draw up a neighbourhood plan as to how much
:11:53. > :11:58.and where they want development in the village. A neighbourhood plan
:11:59. > :12:04.would have statutory powers and it would effectively regulate the
:12:04. > :12:07.planning for the area. There is a planning process. That will do a
:12:07. > :12:11.lot of the work. But the neighbourhood plan will make the
:12:11. > :12:14.development more acceptable to local people. But it has taken nine
:12:14. > :12:18.months so far, and the local authorities expected to be at least
:12:18. > :12:23.a year before the detail is decided in winner. Planning guidance has
:12:24. > :12:30.been condensed into 50-odd pages by the coalition. Experts are cautious.
:12:30. > :12:40.We have had over 1000 pages of policy, which as of today has all
:12:40. > :12:44.essentially been thrown in the bin. It will take time for landowners,
:12:44. > :12:47.developers, concerned locals and local authorities to get their head
:12:47. > :12:52.round the new policy framework. coalition want medal of planning to,
:12:52. > :12:56.as they put it, welcome growth and give local people a real voice.
:12:56. > :12:59.Environmental campaigners have used their voice to welcome many of the
:12:59. > :13:04.changes the Government have introduced, but also to express
:13:04. > :13:10.some caution. It is still weak on giving priority to developing
:13:10. > :13:11.brownfield land before greenfield land. Since 1995, there has been a
:13:12. > :13:19.preference for developing previously developed land in towns
:13:20. > :13:23.and cities. There is a reference to brownfield land being encouraged to
:13:23. > :13:27.be developed, but it is a lot weaker than we want it. Rimmel will
:13:27. > :13:30.continue to develop its neighbourhood plan as it copes with
:13:30. > :13:37.the new government policy presumption in favour of
:13:37. > :13:41.sustainable development. Our top story tonight: one of
:13:41. > :13:45.Kent's flagship academy has been put into special measures following
:13:45. > :13:49.a damning inspection by Ofsted. The Marlowe Academy in Ramsgate has
:13:49. > :13:54.been given an overall rating of inadequate.
:13:54. > :13:58.Also coming to light: they are live on tour. We meet the new stars of
:13:58. > :14:02.Strictly, Pasha and Katya. And when will this unbroken

:14:46. > :14:55.These three men, two of them from Sussex, have spent years making it

:15:17. > :15:22.here we have an aerial view of the cemetery. Or you can scroll around
:15:22. > :15:25.the area to see what it is like. Around 1.7 million people died
:15:25. > :15:27.serving the realm during both world wars. Their remains and headstones
:15:27. > :15:30.are scattered in every corner of the globe. Bruce Caldwell, Mike

:15:57. > :15:58.
:15:58. > :16:05.in France. I researched where the cemetery was an found the location

:16:41. > :16:46.realise that not everybody knows where their loved one is buried or
:16:46. > :16:50.commemorated. Through our records, you can find out the exact cemetery,
:16:50. > :16:55.plot, a row, grave number of that location and then physically visit
:16:55. > :16:58.it. It is difficult to put a price on the importance of a family
:16:58. > :17:07.member being able to physically go and touch the grave of their loved
:17:07. > :17:12.one. Countless hours have gone into finding these cemeteries, 19,000 in

:17:26. > :17:29.It won't suit you if you suffer from a fear of heights, but a new
:17:29. > :17:33.B&B in Sussex is offering guests some rather unusual accommodation
:17:33. > :17:36.in a treehouse. The business is the latest venture for two brothers
:17:36. > :17:46.from Kent who've built treehouses around the world for clients which
:17:46. > :17:47.
:17:47. > :17:52.include hotels and schools. This is part of the experience. You
:17:52. > :17:55.have to go across the rope bridge. It is a bit Indiana Jones-esque,
:17:55. > :17:58.perfect way to come into a tree house.
:17:59. > :18:03.It was first built as an office, but now Simon Payne has decided it
:18:03. > :18:07.is time to share his tree house in Wadhurst. The main feature has to
:18:07. > :18:14.be the tree coming straight through the middle, and the beautiful view
:18:14. > :18:19.it outside. And the tree is a live. Yes, it comes straight through and
:18:19. > :18:25.in the summer, you get green leaves growing from it. It really sets the
:18:25. > :18:31.scene. It is the focal point and makes you feel rustic and at home.
:18:31. > :18:35.The great outdoors. The tree B&B sits on his parents' farm. Simon's
:18:35. > :18:40.father is not surprised that his sons never grew out of climbing
:18:40. > :18:45.trees. Our children were born and grew up in Kenya. They spent most
:18:45. > :18:51.of their time outside, so they were always thinking of games and things
:18:52. > :18:55.to do. And he has managed to adapt that to this country. Some experts
:18:55. > :19:00.think it is creative thinking like this that will bring tourists to
:19:00. > :19:05.the south-east. They are looking for value for money and adventure
:19:05. > :19:13.and a break from their urban existence. So people who are
:19:13. > :19:16.offering unusual things like tepees are able to offer what the
:19:16. > :19:21.consumers are looking for. Simon's business came from humble
:19:21. > :19:27.beginnings. This is what is left of his first tree house. We were in
:19:27. > :19:30.our early teens. You can see we were not afraid of heights. Now the
:19:30. > :19:34.company is involved in projects across the country and the rest of
:19:34. > :19:38.Europe. He says customers like sustainable building and the chance
:19:38. > :19:41.to be a child again. Now cricket - it's been another

:21:50. > :21:57.a moment, but first here's a You nailed that! Expressive, fluid
:21:57. > :21:59.and musical. You act a bit like a movie star. I loved it.
:21:59. > :22:09.Well, our reporter is inside Tunbridge Wells Assembly Hall
:22:09. > :22:15.theatre now. Charlie, tonight's the opening night of the tour? Yes, it
:22:15. > :22:23.is the first show of 35 shows in 39 days. Quite a tight schedule by any
:22:23. > :22:28.standards, but they still managed to find some room for us tonight.
:22:28. > :22:36.Jonah Rimmel, here are Pasha and Katya. -- joining me now. He will
:22:36. > :22:42.be exhausted with so many shows? yeah, we will see. Well, we will
:22:42. > :22:46.get used to that. We love it. This is our job, to be able to perform
:22:46. > :22:52.on a theatre floor. It is incredible. Tell me what the show
:22:52. > :22:57.is about? The show is about all types of dancing. It tells the
:22:57. > :23:02.story of each type of dance, from salsa to tango to everything you
:23:02. > :23:06.would see on Strictly and more, with our little twist on it. Away
:23:06. > :23:12.from the show, on Friday, you did something special for Sport Relief,
:23:12. > :23:16.Pasha, dancing under water. What was that lie? Crazy. It was an
:23:16. > :23:23.unbelievable experience. Never tried anything like that, but I
:23:23. > :23:26.would do it again. What an amazing thing to do for a great cause.
:23:26. > :23:33.way they set up a stage underwater, who could have thought it would
:23:33. > :23:37.happen? It did look incredible. And away from the stage for you, Katya,
:23:37. > :23:44.you have been involved in movies. You danced with Antonia banned
:23:44. > :23:50.their us at one stage? Yes, I did some acting and one of the films
:23:51. > :23:55.was with him. I was very blonde. Now I am a brunette. But it was an
:23:55. > :24:03.amazing experience as a 19-year-old to be working with him and Richard
:24:03. > :24:09.Gere and Jennifer Lopez. It taught me a lot. I know you will be
:24:09. > :24:14.showing us what to expect tonight. Please show some of your wonderful
:24:14. > :24:23.news. If you can't get to Tunbridge Wells tonight, they are also coming
:24:23. > :24:27.to Dartford, Chatham and Burgess What a beautiful couple.
:24:27. > :24:32.They would not let me interview them in case I scared them. Now for
:24:32. > :24:36.a check on the weather. It is lovely hair, but it is getting
:24:36. > :24:43.chilly now. I was going to say there were two sides to the
:24:43. > :24:48.forecast, but there are now four sides to it. Firstly, we crucially
:24:48. > :24:52.need this rainfall and I can't see any rain in the next week. Secondly,
:24:52. > :24:58.lots of people are loving all this sunshine, and that is staying put
:24:58. > :25:03.for the next few days. But point number three is that if you are a
:25:03. > :25:08.hayfever sufferer, the pollen count is very high at the moment and will
:25:08. > :25:12.stay that way for the next few days. And if your TV reception is looking
:25:12. > :25:17.wonky, that is not your TV on the blink, it is to do with the
:25:17. > :25:21.pressure being so high at the moment. Until the pressure stars to
:25:21. > :25:26.reduce, we will see the squiggly reception continuing. Which of the
:25:26. > :25:31.four will be winning in the next few days? Definitely the sunshine.
:25:31. > :25:35.If you have been loving it, we will have lots of warm, sunny weather
:25:35. > :25:41.and staying dry for the next few days. The change will be a foot as
:25:41. > :25:46.we go into the weekend, which is when we get cooler and cloudier
:25:46. > :25:51.just in time for Saturday and Sunday. Speaking of cooler
:25:51. > :25:58.temperatures, for the next few hours we will have clear skies. The
:25:58. > :26:01.temperatures do not so much tumble as nosedive. They will get back
:26:01. > :26:06.down close enough to freezing to give some places a grass frost by
:26:06. > :26:10.the end of the night. Maybe some mist as well. But that will clear
:26:10. > :26:18.away quickly tomorrow and we will be left with beautiful sunshine.
:26:18. > :26:26.Clear skies again and temperatures getting up to 19 or 20, maybe 21
:26:26. > :26:29.degrees, but a bit cooler around the coast. Tomorrow evening, the
:26:29. > :26:33.same as this evening, with the clear skies and temperatures
:26:33. > :26:38.dropping rapidly. Another chilly night tomorrow night, followed by
:26:38. > :26:42.another warm and sunny day for Thursday. On Friday, we might see
:26:42. > :26:46.some cloud trickling in from the east and temperatures therefore not
:26:46. > :26:49.so high, but the change for all of us will be coming along at the
:26:50. > :26:54.weekend. The high pressure moves westwards and we will get more
:26:54. > :26:58.cloud. The temperature will drop. For the rest of the week, sunny and
:26:58. > :27:02.warm. For the weekend, cloudy and cooler.
:27:02. > :27:05.Always the way. To night's top stories: it could
:27:05. > :27:08.happen again - an official report says half a million forgotten
:27:08. > :27:12.families hold the key to last summer's riots.
:27:12. > :27:15.His says young people from those families lacked a stake in society
:27:15. > :27:19.and had nothing to lose when the rioting started.
:27:19. > :27:22.In the south-east, a school once heralded as the future of education
:27:22. > :27:26.has been put into special measures after a damning inspection by
:27:26. > :27:28.Ofsted. Marlowe Academy has been given an overall rating of
:27:28. > :27:32.inadequate. Under a former Cranbrook rugby
