:00:13. > :00:17.residents search for an Nellie Herriot, the 96-year-old woman from
:00:17. > :00:25.Brighton who has been missing for eight days.
:00:25. > :00:31.He lost �120,000 to investment fraudsters based in Sussex. I felt
:00:31. > :00:34.a complete idiot. But just wanted to crawl up into a hole and die.
:00:34. > :00:39.Also tonight: Tributes to the Ashford hairdresser stabbed to
:00:39. > :00:42.death at her salon. Friends say Natalie Esack was strong and
:00:42. > :00:46.beautiful. From Maidstone United to England
:00:46. > :00:51.manager. The unlikely rise off Roy Hodgson.
:00:51. > :01:01.And burning bright for Her Majesty. There will be Jubilee Beacons in
:01:01. > :01:09.
:01:09. > :01:14.More than 60 Sussex Police officers are now involved in a search for
:01:14. > :01:17.96-year-old women missing for the last aid days. Residents have been
:01:17. > :01:27.searching the Whitehawk estate in Brighton looking for Nellie Herriot
:01:27. > :01:28.
:01:28. > :01:31.last spotted on CCTV on 25th April. Her whereabouts are still unknown
:01:31. > :01:38.despite people highlighting her case on Twitter, including
:01:38. > :01:43.celebrities. Our correspondent joins us now. The police are
:01:43. > :01:49.focusing their search on the estate? Yes. Nellie Herriot's last
:01:49. > :01:56.sighting was in a. At the Whitehawk estate where she lived. Police have
:01:56. > :02:06.been asking people who live here to search their gardens and the area
:02:06. > :02:07.
:02:07. > :02:10.surrounding, but they have launched an extensive search today. Nellie
:02:10. > :02:17.Herriot finds it difficult to walk, and finds it difficult to hear. Her
:02:17. > :02:21.family are concerned about her health and safety. It is strange to
:02:21. > :02:26.think in this day and age of communication that she can just
:02:26. > :02:36.evaporate into thin air. It seems strange. We are worried about her
:02:36. > :02:40.well-being. We are desperately fear full. She visited British Home
:02:40. > :02:47.stores cafe on the last day she was seen. Police say they would like to
:02:47. > :02:50.know where she has. It is concerning she has not been seen
:02:50. > :02:54.one week on from when she was reported missing. She suffers from
:02:54. > :03:01.dementia, and she is very frail. She could have got into a difficult
:03:01. > :03:05.state. -- confused state. Dozens of neighbourhood watch schemes have
:03:05. > :03:11.been carrying out door-to-door inquiries. The area they are trying
:03:11. > :03:17.to cover as large. She is part of the community and we are part of
:03:17. > :03:20.the same community. We should be helping each other. The police
:03:20. > :03:27.cannot stretch their resources thus far, so this is our way of helping.
:03:27. > :03:32.Police have being -- been using search dogs in their hunt. Hundreds
:03:32. > :03:37.of people have recirculated a police appeal, including Alan Sugar,
:03:37. > :03:40.John Prescott and Sarah Brown. Nellie Herriot was reported missing
:03:40. > :03:46.six days ago, and police have since received a number of Leeds, of
:03:46. > :03:52.which have not revealed where the 96-year-old might be. Police this
:03:52. > :03:57.evening are urging residents to continue searching the local area.
:03:57. > :04:04.They say they hold the key to finding Nellie Herriot. Tonight the
:04:04. > :04:08.search for her goes on. Thank you. He lost �120,000 and an
:04:08. > :04:12.investment scam. Today a Sussex man has described the gang had targeted
:04:12. > :04:17.him as awful people. Colin Wells was one of hundreds of
:04:17. > :04:21.investors who fell victim to the international operation run from
:04:21. > :04:26.Bexhill and Battle. The couple at the centre of the �4 million fraud
:04:26. > :04:30.were jailed last week. Brian O'Brien was the American
:04:30. > :04:36.brains behind the share dealing business which targeted unwitting
:04:36. > :04:42.investors. But his wife, he persuaded 300 people to hand over
:04:42. > :04:46.�4 million. Colin Wells from Crawley was one of them, and paid
:04:46. > :04:51.�120,000 for the shares they offered. People just say, you have
:04:51. > :04:59.just lost money, it is only Material. It is not, you lose your
:04:59. > :05:09.self-esteem, because of the way they manipulate you. As you start
:05:09. > :05:12.to realise something's wrong, it is training. The scam began here. The
:05:12. > :05:17.couple then moved to this house near Battle. It is owned by someone
:05:17. > :05:22.else now, but when the couple lived here it became the control room for
:05:22. > :05:26.their sophisticated international fraud operation. As well as the
:05:26. > :05:32.supposedly secure company in East Sussex, O'Brien control the company
:05:32. > :05:35.in Limerick and two others in Barcelona. They made cold calls and
:05:35. > :05:40.sold over valued shares in businesses such as an oil and gas
:05:40. > :05:43.business in Toronto. In reality the money was transferred to a Jersey
:05:43. > :05:47.bank account and back to the fraudsters. There was a UK address
:05:47. > :05:53.for them, and a bank account in the UK. All the things people would be
:05:53. > :05:58.wary about where those addresses are overseas. They were well-
:05:58. > :06:03.executed frauds. There is no shame in it. These victims are genuine
:06:03. > :06:08.victims of clever fraudsters. affected me physically, emotionally
:06:09. > :06:14.and mentally. It made me feel very unwell for some time, and I felt a
:06:14. > :06:19.complete idiot. I mean, I just wanted to crawl into a wall and
:06:19. > :06:23.dive. You can see why people commit suicide, I really can. I can
:06:23. > :06:30.understand getting to that stage. It took six years to convict the
:06:30. > :06:35.couple at the centre of the scam. Last week they were both jailed.
:06:35. > :06:45.Colin's name is on a so-called sucker list that fraudsters believe
:06:45. > :06:45.
:06:45. > :06:50.We are joined by David Braithwaite, financial adviser. Thank you for
:06:50. > :06:56.joining us. Natalie referred to the sucker list. There are 70,000 names
:06:56. > :07:01.on it. That is astounding. How widespread is the problem? It is
:07:01. > :07:07.quite widespread. The problem at the moment is when people are
:07:07. > :07:14.looking for increases on their investments. People are naturally
:07:14. > :07:21.more susceptible. And as a nation we are more trusting of people.
:07:21. > :07:24.Given that, how can people avoid falling into the trap? If you are
:07:25. > :07:34.called called at home, offered an investment opportunity and tempted
:07:34. > :07:37.to it, to a -- do not be sucked into it. Call the Financial
:07:37. > :07:46.Services Authority to check the company is legitimate, and do
:07:46. > :07:50.research. But you also have to think, would someone with that good
:07:50. > :07:54.an investment cold call at home? have heard a lot about frauds like
:07:54. > :07:59.this involving overseas companies. It is unusual -- is it unusual to
:07:59. > :08:02.hear about one in the UK? It is more unusual but a lot of people
:08:02. > :08:07.use things like the Royal Mail here to target people through the post
:08:07. > :08:10.because it looks more trusting. And as a nation we are very trusting.
:08:10. > :08:15.We will fall for these things. We have to be more aware of these
:08:15. > :08:19.things, and promoting the fact that these guys have gone to jail is the
:08:19. > :08:23.thing. Thank you.
:08:23. > :08:26.Coming up on the programme, a Sussex stroke victim who says he
:08:26. > :08:35.felt cut-off and abandoned when his physiotherapy support was stopped
:08:35. > :08:38.without warning. Tributes have been paid today to
:08:38. > :08:43.the Ashford hairdresser Natalie Esack who was stabbed to death at
:08:43. > :08:48.her salon. Friends described her as a beautiful, strong per son.
:08:48. > :08:53.She died yesterday morning. Her estranged husband, former Kent
:08:53. > :08:59.police officer, is being questioned on suspicion of her murder.
:08:59. > :09:04.A crime scene filled with floral tributes. Natalie Esack's customers
:09:04. > :09:12.and friends struggling to come to terms with her death.
:09:13. > :09:22.She was a wonderful, beautiful, strong, lovely person in every way.
:09:23. > :09:24.
:09:24. > :09:31.It is just a terrible, tragic loss. It is just awful. She was good at
:09:31. > :09:38.what she did, she was strong. She was everything a woman should be.
:09:38. > :09:43.She was really pleasant and happy. Obviously professional as well. She
:09:43. > :09:49.will be sadly missed. Searches have continued throughout the day at the
:09:49. > :09:53.salon. Natalie Esack's body was removed from their late yesterday.
:09:53. > :09:59.Today a post mortem examination has been taking place. People in the
:09:59. > :10:07.town have felt compelled to bring flowers. She's an Ashford girl. I
:10:07. > :10:11.am from Ashford. It is something nice to do. I knew it. It is sad
:10:11. > :10:16.someone you knew growing up has been taken like that. Natalie
:10:16. > :10:19.Esack's estranged husband Ivan Esack was arrested at 10:40am
:10:19. > :10:24.yesterday in the town. He is a former Kent police officer who has
:10:24. > :10:28.since been working as a football agent.
:10:28. > :10:35.Simon Jones joins us from the salon. What is the latest on the
:10:35. > :10:40.investigation? Mr Esack is being questioned by officers tonight.
:10:40. > :10:45.They have until 10:40pm to decide whether to charge and, to release
:10:45. > :10:49.him ask the court for more time for questioning. Here, throughout the
:10:49. > :10:53.day, flowers have been arriving, and they are growing by they are.
:10:53. > :10:58.One tribute read, you are the best hairdresser I have ever had. One
:10:58. > :11:04.says, you're not just my boss, you were an amazing person. Added a
:11:04. > :11:08.sense of shock at war has happened. A grandfather from Newhaven are set
:11:08. > :11:13.to become the oldest person in the UK to undergo a sex change
:11:13. > :11:19.operation. Ruth Rose, 78, has been accepted for NHS surgery next year
:11:19. > :11:27.at the age of 80. She changed her name from James Rose and start
:11:27. > :11:30.addressing for a time as a woman six years ago.
:11:30. > :11:34.The case against a member of a West Sussex Hunt accused of illegal fox-
:11:34. > :11:40.hunting has been thrown out. A judge ruled there is no case to
:11:40. > :11:42.answer against Jimmy Fox Guild -- Jamie Hawksfield senior, who is
:11:42. > :11:46.joint master of Crawley and Horsham Hunt.
:11:46. > :11:50.A man who admitted bludgeoning a man to death believing he may have
:11:50. > :11:53.been a paedophile has told the court he had a list of 900 men he
:11:53. > :11:56.was investigating for sexual offences.
:11:56. > :12:00.Christopher Hunniset told Lewes Crown Court he drew up the list of
:12:01. > :12:05.people he was going to deal with. He admits -- admits hitting Peter
:12:05. > :12:09.Bick with a hammer or at his flat in Bexhill in January last year,
:12:09. > :12:12.but denies murder. Christopher Hunniset says he
:12:12. > :12:17.medallists containing the names of hundreds of men he was
:12:17. > :12:21.investigating for possible sexual offences. Peter Bick was one of the
:12:21. > :12:31.names. Another was a man described in court as mystery, who
:12:31. > :12:31.
:12:31. > :12:35.Christopher Hunniset so be it -- suspected of abusing girls.
:12:36. > :12:41.He drove to his house, but discovering he had children, he
:12:41. > :12:44.drove back to Hastings. Christopher Hunniset was asked about Peter
:12:44. > :12:49.Bick's death. You bashed his head in with a hammer, that is right,
:12:49. > :12:54.isn't it? Guess, replied Christopher Hunniset. While doing
:12:54. > :12:58.it your intention was to kill him, wasn't it? I intention was to get
:12:58. > :13:02.his hand of my throat. You are not attempting to defend yourself,
:13:02. > :13:05.where you? I do not call itself defines, know.
:13:05. > :13:11.He went on to assert that Christopher Hunniset tailored his
:13:11. > :13:19.entire case. He also repeatedly challenged the 20-year-old during a
:13:19. > :13:29.heated exchange about an alleged rumour that Peter Bick was a
:13:29. > :13:29.
:13:29. > :13:34.And it is now 17 minutes to seven and these in our top stories column
:13:34. > :13:39.more than 60 Suffolk -- Sussex police officers are searching for a
:13:39. > :13:43.96-year-old that has been missing for seven days. They're looking
:13:43. > :13:49.near at the Whitehawk Estate in Brighton. She was last seen on CCTV
:13:49. > :13:56.on April 5th. Also tonight, it all began at
:13:56. > :14:06.Maidstone United, Roy Hodgson started his career in Kent.
:14:06. > :14:07.
:14:07. > :14:11.And while it's the best way as we move into a with the weather?
:14:11. > :14:16.The man from Sussex who suffered a stroke says that he felt abandoned
:14:16. > :14:21.after his physiotherapy was stopped without warning. Mark Belsey says
:14:21. > :14:24.that he only found out that his treatment had finished when he was
:14:24. > :14:29.told that he could buy any equipment off the internet that he
:14:29. > :14:35.needed. The Stroke Association charity say that they want more
:14:35. > :14:42.support for patients to give them the best possible recovery.
:14:42. > :14:47.A taking centre stage with his band, but Mark Belsey's working life as a
:14:47. > :14:53.performer at was cut short when he had a stroke. Now he relies on his
:14:53. > :14:59.wife for even simple tasks. The care that he got in hospital and
:14:59. > :15:05.immediately afterwards was, he says, fantastic. But once he got out, the
:15:05. > :15:12.couple were left struggling. For it a couple of weeks afterwards we had
:15:12. > :15:18.a team that helped us. But after those 12 weeks we were abandoned.
:15:18. > :15:25.They were helping me with my movements and my speech. When they
:15:25. > :15:31.went, they just went and didn't help me. More than one million
:15:31. > :15:36.people in the UK are stroke survivors. They live with their
:15:36. > :15:40.effects of temporary loss of blood to the brain. It is thought that
:15:40. > :15:46.300,000 people have a disability as a result. Today's report says that
:15:46. > :15:50.there is still a problem getting support for long-term recovery.
:15:50. > :15:53.They are being denied the chance to it the best possible recovery. The
:15:53. > :15:59.services are not joined up and they're not getting the right care
:15:59. > :16:03.afterwards. Stroke care in hospitals has been transformed, but
:16:03. > :16:08.here afterwards can be patchy. But can be devastating especially for
:16:08. > :16:14.younger stroke survivors. Many want to get back to work and get back to
:16:14. > :16:19.their family lives. Physiotherapy and other Rehabilitation is
:16:19. > :16:23.necessary. They just need it to be at priority and give it investments.
:16:23. > :16:28.It can be a long and hard journey. Health care professionals say that
:16:28. > :16:38.there is effort going into driving up standards for her care
:16:38. > :16:42.
:16:42. > :16:47.afterwards. And making sure that the care is more joined up.
:16:47. > :16:54.He is the new England manager charged with leading the nation in
:16:54. > :16:59.22012. They are looking for him to save us from 46 years of pain.
:16:59. > :17:03.Roy Hodgson may not be everybody's first choice but he has had a long
:17:03. > :17:07.and illustrious career as a football player and manager. He is
:17:08. > :17:13.one of very few people who have played for at Maidstone United and
:17:13. > :17:20.was their assistant manager. In a sport famous for her neck
:17:20. > :17:24.names, following today's press conference, Roy Hodgson is clearly
:17:24. > :17:31.the chosen one. I am grateful for the chance to be the manager of
:17:31. > :17:37.England. Roy Hodgson has secured that top job in English football.
:17:37. > :17:43.He learnt his trade in Kent. In 1969 he played 20 games for at
:17:43. > :17:48.Tonbridge football club. After that he moved to Gravesend and where --
:17:49. > :17:54.he stayed there until 1971 and then he joined Maidstone United where he
:17:54. > :17:59.was assistant manager. As the player, only avid fans remember him.
:17:59. > :18:05.You could not say he was a brilliant player. It would not be
:18:05. > :18:11.too unkind to say that he was -- it would be unkind to say he was poor
:18:12. > :18:18.it but he was middle of the road. He is better coaching. That rings
:18:18. > :18:23.true at Gravesend also. He is not even mentioned on the club's roll
:18:23. > :18:29.of honour. You have to search local newspaper archives to find out
:18:29. > :18:35.anything about him. Roy Hodgson pleads for Gravesend on 59
:18:35. > :18:41.occasions. His only goal was not impressive.
:18:41. > :18:45.It says that the ball rebounded off in other player and then it it was
:18:45. > :18:49.passed under the body of a slow to dive other player. Nothing to
:18:49. > :18:53.expect that he would be the future England manager. But Maidstone
:18:53. > :19:00.United is where his coaching career started and he is more fondly
:19:00. > :19:03.remembered there. He was a reasonably ordinary player. He was
:19:03. > :19:13.a mid-fielder. He was not outstanding, but a reasonable
:19:13. > :19:21.journey man. So Roy Argent didn't have an illustrious career. -- Roy
:19:21. > :19:30.Hodgson. But we do find him in grassroots football.
:19:30. > :19:37.Reasonably ordinary. Reasonably ordinary, not a spectacular player.
:19:37. > :19:43.Good luck Reuter. Diamond Jubilee night. The skies will be set
:19:43. > :19:47.twinkling with the 1,000 beacons across the county. The deadline for
:19:47. > :19:57.up applications to take part emerges and we have found that
:19:57. > :20:01.
:20:01. > :20:06.there will be more beacons in Kent than anywhere else in the country.
:20:06. > :20:16.Could there be a better setting to light a Royal Peakin than at the
:20:16. > :20:16.
:20:16. > :20:24.head of this? How did it come to be here? The story goes back 110 years.
:20:24. > :20:31.It was dug out of the ground by students in 1992 by the Coronation.
:20:31. > :20:34.We're having a barbecue and a live bands down on the cricket field. It
:20:34. > :20:42.is open to everybody here. And anybody else who wants to come
:20:42. > :20:46.along. We will write it between the hours of 10pm and 10:30pm. From
:20:46. > :20:52.there you should be able to see some of the other beacons dotting
:20:52. > :20:59.the lights -- night sky. Lot Securities have applied. But Kent
:20:59. > :21:07.will have more than any other county. East Sussex will be having
:21:07. > :21:15.57. Considering the history, with William the Conqueror landed here
:21:15. > :21:20.in 1066, that trust was volunteer in the 1890s. That was the decade
:21:20. > :21:25.when Queen Victoria had her celebrations. The whole thing
:21:25. > :21:32.really fell into place. This place had to -- had to be one of the
:21:32. > :21:35.National Beacons. It is the stuff of legend. Over here at Queen
:21:35. > :21:39.Elizabeth the first stood here it took to a project that she had a
:21:40. > :21:45.feeble body of all women but the heart of a lie-in. That was when
:21:45. > :21:51.they were going to Battle with the Spanish Armada. She could see the
:21:51. > :21:57.warning signals across the water. The council rebuilt their peak in
:21:57. > :22:04.in that 1998 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the Spanish Armada.
:22:04. > :22:09.We have let it every year since then. The twinkling finale. It will
:22:10. > :22:15.end the celebration. It is getting close now. We are
:22:15. > :22:21.joined by a reporter at the Medway river. They are literally throwing
:22:21. > :22:25.themselves behind the Jubilee celebrations. The approach here of
:22:25. > :22:29.their maritime heritage. They are having a giant river festival here
:22:29. > :22:36.on the Saturday and on the Sunday attention moves to the cathedral.
:22:36. > :22:40.On the Monday, they are having a beacon festival. Six beacons will
:22:40. > :22:46.be a light. Pretty much wherever you live, there will be something
:22:46. > :22:56.going on during the day. Maybe one of these beacons will be let during
:22:56. > :22:56.
:22:56. > :23:00.the evening also. It looks like he found a dry spot.
:23:00. > :23:05.You can celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee with us in our
:23:05. > :23:13.photo mosaic which will be displayed in the Towner Gallery.
:23:13. > :23:19.It is made up entirely of pictures of you. I have set in at photograph
:23:19. > :23:24.of the Silver Jubilee street party. It reminds me of that occasion then.
:23:24. > :23:27.This photo of my late husband was taken when he played for Eastbourne
:23:27. > :23:34.United and I thought it would be nice to have been included in the
