:01:00. > :01:03.Good evening. It's the eternal flame that has symbolised the
:01:03. > :01:06.Olympic Games from their beginnings. But today its 70-day, 8,000 mile
:01:06. > :01:09.journey was almost brought to an abrupt end when a 17-year-old youth
:01:09. > :01:16.was wrestled to the ground by police after he allegedly tried to
:01:16. > :01:19.grab the Olympic Torch in Kent. The torch began day 63 of its journey

:01:22. > :01:27.thousands of people welcoming the flame and the bearers who carried

:02:32. > :02:37.year-old youth. It was over in a matter of seconds, a big contrast
:02:37. > :02:42.to the rest of the 63rd day of Torch bearing. The journey had
:02:42. > :02:47.started in Maidstone. The crowds were out to see the flame pass
:02:47. > :02:52.through the streets and make a stately glide on the River Medway.
:02:52. > :02:57.The old city streets in Rochester were packed. This girl was running,
:02:57. > :03:02.she was holding the torch, and the flames were all flowing through the

:04:11. > :04:13.So, let's recap on today's route. It set off from Mote Park in
:04:13. > :04:18.Maidstone this morning, passing through Gillingham, Rochester,
:04:18. > :04:22.Gravesend, Brands Hatch, Sevenoaks, and Godstone. And finally leaving
:04:22. > :04:25.our part of the south-east at Blenchingly. Well, our reporter
:04:25. > :04:28.Chrissie Reidy is live in Maidstone back where it all began at
:04:28. > :04:35.breakfast time this morning. They're making a day of it,
:04:35. > :04:39.Chrissie, with a big party this evening for the torchbearers.
:04:39. > :04:44.They are. The Olympic flame may have left early this morning, but
:04:44. > :04:49.the sporting theme continues this evening. It's in the form of a one-
:04:49. > :04:57.mile road run, got under way at 6:15pm, so people have already been
:04:57. > :05:01.coming back in. At 7:30pm, there is a one mile Open swim. Now, you
:05:01. > :05:06.carried the torch yesterday. How does doing this run compare? It is
:05:06. > :05:12.longer! We only run for about 400 metres. But the experience
:05:12. > :05:19.yesterday was incredible. Tell me about it. You are a police officer,
:05:19. > :05:24.you've run 21 consecutive marathons. Yes, 21 consecutive London and 83
:05:24. > :05:29.into total. So, you got recognised for that. That and through work as
:05:29. > :05:32.well. And it was nice to be no one waited. You said you questioned why
:05:32. > :05:36.you were there when you were running at yesterday's. I think
:05:36. > :05:40.some of us do. You look at the other people on the bus and you
:05:40. > :05:44.read the stories and you hear what they've been through and the
:05:44. > :05:50.adversity they have dealt with, and it is very humbling and it is only
:05:50. > :05:53.very natural to wonder why. Thank you. I mentioned the swim, and to
:05:53. > :06:00.would you expect to find? Duncan Goodhew. What is happening with
:06:00. > :06:04.this swim? There is 150 mad people. Are you jumping into the mad way?
:06:04. > :06:09.am staying nice and dry. They just running a mile, the first time they
:06:09. > :06:13.have done it, some of them. I was talking to one of them, swimming
:06:13. > :06:18.breaststroke, might take a while! They will be raising money for
:06:18. > :06:20.charity. Lovely to talk to you. While the celebrations continue
:06:20. > :06:23.here, I will hand back to the studio.
:06:23. > :06:26.Well, let's cross live to the capital and Westminster where our
:06:26. > :06:29.Sports reporter Neil Bell is waiting for the Olympic torch to
:06:29. > :06:37.make a spectacular entrance. Neil, what can we expect now it's so
:06:37. > :06:39.close to its final destination? It will be taken to a whole new way
:06:39. > :06:43.level. The Olympic flame will arrive at
:06:43. > :06:45.Tower Wharf in front of the Tower of London where a Royal Marine
:06:45. > :06:48.Commando, carrying the flame in lantern, will abseil 180ft from a
:06:48. > :06:52.Royal Navy Sea King helicopter at 8pm on Friday, July 20th. Two
:06:52. > :06:54.torchbearers will then carry the flame around the Tower of London
:06:54. > :06:57.where they will be welcomed by the Mayor of London Boris Johnson. The
:06:57. > :07:00.flame will then be handed to General the Lord Richard Dannatt
:07:00. > :07:03.Constable of the Tower of London, where it will remain overnight. The
:07:03. > :07:06.torch will spend its final week in London being carried by 982
:07:06. > :07:09.torchbearers around 200 miles of the capital's streets. As an
:07:09. > :07:12.estimated nine million people have cheered on the relay to date, large
:07:12. > :07:20.crowds are expected to line the streets. Lots of people working in
:07:20. > :07:23.the South East can have a chance to see the flame, then. Everyone will
:07:23. > :07:27.have plenty of opportunity to have a look at it before the opening
:07:27. > :07:30.ceremony in a week's time. And you can still get involved with the

:09:23. > :09:29.on the ground to have been doing all this very hard work, with those
:09:29. > :09:33.cutbacks, inevitably, there will be some rising rates of teenage

:09:38. > :09:44.it away. I am back in education now. If I could have the same kids but

:11:36. > :11:41.administration last year. But the service has deducted �780 from that
:11:41. > :11:49.sum because Mr Hudson didn't claim Jobseekers Allowance. Jon Hunt met
:11:49. > :11:51.him this morning. He thought he was helping the
:11:51. > :11:54.Government by not claiming jobseeker's allowance when he was
:11:54. > :11:59.made redundant last year but little did Terry Hudson know the
:11:59. > :12:04.Government would penalise him for that decision. I am lost for words.

:12:08. > :12:14.and age people not claiming benefits are fined that amount of
:12:14. > :12:17.money. Mr Hudson's problems began when the company he worked for in
:12:17. > :12:22.Canterbury went into administration and he was laid off without any
:12:22. > :12:26.notice. This meant he was eligible to claim for compensation from the
:12:26. > :12:29.insolvency service for the 12 weeks pay he should have received but
:12:29. > :12:33.because he didn't sign on at the Jobcentre, since he was weeks away
:12:34. > :12:38.from his retirement, the Insolvency Service deducted the jobseeker's
:12:38. > :12:44.allowance he could have climbed from his compensation payout, a
:12:44. > :12:49.total of �780. Ridiculous. It was the Government that won twice. They
:12:49. > :12:53.haven't paid out money and find me for not claiming benefit.
:12:53. > :12:59.Citizens Advice Bureaux says problems like this are, no. We have
:12:59. > :13:01.many people who come in and have problems with the Jobcentre or the
:13:01. > :13:07.Department for Work and Pensions, particularly when they have lost
:13:07. > :13:10.employment. The benefit system at present is very complicated.
:13:10. > :13:14.Insolvency Service says the courts have determined that employees must
:13:14. > :13:18.mitigate the loss, including claiming jobseeker's allowance, and
:13:19. > :13:24.deductions are made for any income and employee receives or could have
:13:24. > :13:28.received. This is made clear on their claim forms. Unfortunately,
:13:28. > :13:35.because Mr Hudson didn't make his claim until three months after his

:14:17. > :14:21.into the wild. The pine marten almost died out 100 years ago due
:14:22. > :14:24.to a combination of hunting and loss of habitats. Today, around
:14:24. > :14:28.4,000 survive, mostly in Scotland but it's thought there are fewer
:14:28. > :14:35.than 100 in the rest of the UK. Our Environment Correspondent Yvette

:14:39. > :14:43.The only wildlife centre in a country where the pine marten has a
:14:43. > :14:50.breeding programme. At three months old, he is out and
:14:50. > :14:56.about and keen to explore. Now, we will have to be careful because
:14:56. > :15:06.he's got quite a bite on him, this fellow. And, of course, they are
:15:06. > :15:07.
:15:07. > :15:10.quite shy. In the wild, they live in such atmospheres, alone, and you
:15:10. > :15:15.would never see them in why old. This is an exciting time for the
:15:15. > :15:20.Wildlife Trust. Today is a momentous day, the first day on his
:15:20. > :15:25.own without mum. He is a little bit nervous. But he is a fantastic
:15:26. > :15:31.animal. It's incredibly difficult to breed these animals. This place
:15:31. > :15:37.is unique, the only place trying to do so, and in more than 10 years of
:15:37. > :15:41.trying, this is only the second baby that has been born. The idea
:15:41. > :15:46.is to release them into the wild in the South East. This one, along
:15:46. > :15:50.with others, that would be caught and brought down from Scotland,
:15:50. > :15:59.their last stronghold in you care. There are some wonderful evidence
:15:59. > :16:02.that shows we can we introduce pine martens. So we are hoping this
:16:02. > :16:08.little trap here will become the first of many to be released in the
:16:08. > :16:12.wild. Whilst gamekeepers might be concerned about a reintroduction as
:16:12. > :16:17.pine martens are predators, others say they will help balance Major.

:16:28. > :16:31.When a film director and a writer decided to make a journey by water
:16:31. > :16:35.from Hastings to the Olympic site in London, they could have chosen a
:16:35. > :16:41.number of options. Canoe, barge, sailing boat. Instead they went for
:16:41. > :16:45.this. A pedalo in the shape of a swan. It caused, as you can imagine,
:16:45. > :16:48.quite a reaction from those who saw it. And now, a film of that journey
:16:48. > :16:54.has been released and premieres tonight. Sara Smith has been to
:16:54. > :16:59.meet the director. It is a bizarre but somehow
:16:59. > :17:05.compelling sight. A huge fibreglass one bobbing along the coast of
:17:05. > :17:11.Hastings. How often is it you see swans out head? Not often. You're
:17:11. > :17:17.the first. Edith was chosen from the flock which provides ride by
:17:17. > :17:22.the sea, not on it. Her task was to carry writer Ian Sinclair and
:17:22. > :17:27.Andrew Kotting to London. We climbed aboard in her current home,
:17:27. > :17:35.an exhibition of -- in honour of the journey. We named her after
:17:35. > :17:43.Eden -- Eden swan neck who died in the Battle of Hastings. There was a
:17:43. > :17:51.female presence around this, that was the idea. From Hastings to Rye
:17:51. > :17:57.where Edith and her cargo headed inland. The film entwines chats
:17:57. > :18:04.with those they passed and guest paddlers with readings and archive.
:18:04. > :18:08.How close to Rochester? 10 miles. The landscape is the central
:18:08. > :18:15.character followed by Edith, and you have got two old codgers
:18:15. > :18:21.witness in it. Up rivers and canals, through dark sand over land. Andrew
:18:21. > :18:26.always in his suit. Edith taking to her new role workers want to water.
:18:26. > :18:30.About six months before the journey, we went out on to the channel and
:18:30. > :18:37.we tracked one across the beach, and we knew what was going to work.
:18:37. > :18:43.It was wonderful to think that this idea was going to work. We will be
:18:43. > :18:48.coming underneath the Golden Gate Bridge briefly. Over. Correction,
:18:48. > :18:54.the Dartford Bridge. Next stop, the Olympic village, and the journey
:18:54. > :18:57.had taken a month. The dream to ride the White Swan made a reality.
:18:57. > :19:03.Well, our reporter Sara Smith joins us from Hastings, the home town of
:19:03. > :19:09.Andrew Kotting. I take it he won't be attempting to do this again?
:19:09. > :19:14.Can I say, he had but -- much better weather than this. It was
:19:14. > :19:18.sunshine all the way. Edith has retired, she has done her work. She
:19:18. > :19:22.is on exhibition at the moment and then there is a buyer who wants to
:19:22. > :19:26.put her on permanent exhibition somewhere where she can be admired
:19:26. > :19:33.by the nation. He got the idea looking out of the window of his
:19:33. > :19:36.house. He saw the pedalos in Swan Lake, and he decided that would be
:19:36. > :19:46.the perfect way of getting you to the Olympic site in London. He did
:19:46. > :19:55.that trip, and Swandown is the story of that journey.
:19:55. > :19:58.She is working there could cool look. -- she is working that look.

:20:01. > :20:03.taking charge of Crawley Town, the club's manager Sean O'Driscoll has
:20:03. > :20:06.left the club to manage Nottingham Forest. O'Driscoll is leaving
:20:06. > :20:08.without taking charge of a single competitive game at Crawley. The
:20:08. > :20:12.club's director of football, Steve Coppell, and coach Craig Brewster
:20:12. > :20:15.will manage first team affairs for the time being. Some Crawley fans
:20:15. > :20:19.are hoping that Gareth Southgate who resigned from the FA today may
:20:20. > :20:23.be in the running to replace O'Driscoll.
:20:23. > :20:26.Tens of thousands of bike fans will be at Brands Hatch over the weekend
:20:26. > :20:31.for the latest rounds of British Superbikes Championship. The
:20:31. > :20:34.current leader is Lingfield's Tommy Hill. It will be the first he has
:20:34. > :20:44.raced over the Grand Prix circuit since his stunning victory to take
:20:44. > :20:45.
:20:45. > :20:50.the title last October. It is the local track for me. I can pop home,
:20:50. > :20:55.have a nice bath. This is where I won the Championship last year. It
:20:55. > :20:59.was an amazing day for me. So to come back here, hopefully we can
:20:59. > :21:01.relive that moment this weekend and do it again.
:21:01. > :21:04.Cricket, and Sussex wicketkeeper Matt Prior has played the
:21:04. > :21:07.outstanding innings for England on the second day of the first Test at
:21:08. > :21:10.the Oval. The South African bowlers dominated the day but Prior offered
:21:10. > :21:20.spirited resistance making sixty and helping England to a first
:21:20. > :21:22.
:21:22. > :21:27.innings total of 385. Let's go back to Maidstone. Our report it is
:21:27. > :21:31.still at the torch relay. Maidstone put a lot of thought into the
:21:31. > :21:36.legacy after all of this year, haven't they?
:21:36. > :21:41.They have and somebody that knows about sporting legacy is this man,
:21:41. > :21:48.John Williams. You carried the torch through Chatham yesterday
:21:48. > :21:56.because I believe you've probably run a few marathons in your time.
:21:56. > :22:06.have run 380 fear of -- 385 marathons and I have got over 700
:22:06. > :22:06.
:22:06. > :22:11.medals for different lengths races. I have been running since 1989.
:22:12. > :22:16.With Adam Fermin, he asked me to run the first Manchester Marathon
:22:16. > :22:21.in 1983 and I have been running ever since. That is no mean feat,
:22:21. > :22:27.but that -- how does that compare to carrying the torch? It was
:22:28. > :22:34.fantastic. Nothing compared with it. I have run London Marathon 21 times
:22:34. > :22:43.and it didn't compare. This was a brilliant. Lovely to meet you. From
:22:43. > :22:45.one torch-bearer to another... 19- year-old Chi-Mun Wong nursed her
:22:45. > :22:48.grandmother with cancer and was then diagnosed with it herself.
:22:48. > :22:51.Despite the illness, she's won a place studying fashion at
:22:51. > :22:56.university and she carried the torch today through her hometown of
:22:56. > :23:04.Rochester. I am exhilarated, so happy about it. So much support, it
:23:04. > :23:09.was amazing. I'm so proud I did it. The first thing I saw was my mum. I
:23:09. > :23:18.got off the bus, and it was amazing energy from the crowd. Ice -- as
:23:18. > :23:23.soon as I saw them, I wasn't I was like, come on, hurry up, I
:23:24. > :23:29.want it to be my turn. In the middle, I decided to have a walk,
:23:29. > :23:34.to milk it a little bit more. When I was 16, I had cancer. She thought
:23:34. > :23:39.I was really brave row of the whole process and when I was 13, by
:23:39. > :23:47.grandmother was terminally ill with cancer, and a help to look after
:23:47. > :23:51.her. My mum thought I deserved it. -- I helped to look after her. I am
:23:52. > :23:55.definitely not going to sell the torch on the bay. It is a once-in-
:23:56. > :24:00.a-lifetime opportunity and I will never get it again. I am very proud
:24:00. > :24:07.and I will remember this moment for the rest of my life.
:24:07. > :24:10.Chi-Mun Wong carried her torch earlier today, not yesterday. It
:24:10. > :24:20.has been an incredible week and am sure a memory they will take with
:24:20. > :24:22.Now, let's have a look at the weather. You have a smile on your
:24:22. > :24:28.for his. I enjoyed preparing for graphics
:24:28. > :24:32.today. Let me show you what's happening. This is the weekend.
:24:32. > :24:37.These are the oranges and colours building over the South of the UK
:24:37. > :24:43.and the temperatures are going to rise. This is the weekend. Warm.
:24:43. > :24:48.But look at that, by midweek, temperatures up to 28 degrees.
:24:48. > :24:52.Something we haven't seen for a while. Around the coast, a little
:24:52. > :24:56.bit on the breeze side. This evening, plenty of showers around
:24:56. > :25:00.in the South East, but the showers will be easing as we go through the
:25:00. > :25:05.course of the evening, so you can see these dark blue colours and
:25:05. > :25:09.that downpour in Hastings, but it is hit and miss, so some of us
:25:09. > :25:14.sussing sunshine. Look at the showers go away into the early
:25:14. > :25:19.hours of Saturday morning. There are still end the tour but of
:25:19. > :25:26.showers left. This is when we say goodbye to the showers, off you go
:25:26. > :25:30.for a while. This is the weekend had line. Warm and sunny. Not hot.
:25:30. > :25:34.Saturday, then. First thing, Canterbury and Eastern parts of
:25:34. > :25:43.Kent, still some showers, but by the time we get to the middle of
:25:43. > :25:50.the day, mostly cold omelette land with modest horrors. -- with modest
:25:50. > :25:55.highs. Sea breeze around the coast make it look a little bit on the
:25:56. > :26:00.fresh side. Monday, most of us go back to work, but has getting up to
:26:01. > :26:06.25. I will show you the outlook once again. Here it is. Believe it
:26:06. > :26:12.or not, up to the high 20s. I feel like I am dreaming!
:26:12. > :26:15.We may not have had the weather this week, but what a week. It is
:26:15. > :26:21.you that has made the story what it has become.
