:01:14. > :01:17.Good evening. The Archbishop of Canterbury has today signalled that
:01:17. > :01:20.he will support calls for a full public inquiry into child sex abuse
:01:20. > :01:23.in the Church of England. It comes as the Bishop of Chichester said
:01:23. > :01:26.many more victims of abuse have now come forward. Speaking at The
:01:26. > :01:28.General Synod, the Right Reverend Doctor Martin Warner commended BBC
:01:28. > :01:31.South East Today for helping to expose failings surrounding the
:01:31. > :01:34.sexual abuse of children by Church of England clergy. Our Home Affairs
:01:34. > :01:44.correspondent, Colin Campbell, who's led that investigation from the
:01:44. > :01:46.
:01:46. > :01:51.start, reports. These are Church of England clergy
:01:51. > :01:56.who have been jailed for child abuse in Sussex. Others have been
:01:56. > :02:01.convicted, some exposed publicly as paedophiles. The full extent of the
:02:01. > :02:09.abuse within the Church of England remains unclear. How we respond is a
:02:09. > :02:13.massive challenge. So, you will support an independent public
:02:14. > :02:21.enquiry? That was one line in the statement. If they wanted.What they
:02:21. > :02:30.want, they will get. Those abused as children said they are encouraged by
:02:30. > :02:40.the comments. What the victims once is a proper full independent public
:02:40. > :02:40.
:02:40. > :02:46.enquiry with full legal powers. That is can be sanctions against people
:02:46. > :02:49.who don't tell the truth or who are in contempt. Yesterday the Church of
:02:49. > :02:56.England endorsed an apology by the Archbishop of Canterbury for sexual
:02:56. > :03:02.abuse by Anglican priest in Sussex. We did not acknowledge the wrong
:03:02. > :03:09.done and we protected the institution at the expense of the
:03:09. > :03:18.person abused. The apology follows a church led investigation into
:03:18. > :03:23.feelings in the dioceses of Chichester. In April this year,
:03:23. > :03:28.Doctor Martin Warner admitted that child abuse had in the past been
:03:28. > :03:33.covered up. A month later, the church investigation identified
:03:33. > :03:42.dreadful feelings in child protection in Sussex church is.
:03:42. > :03:46.Across Sussex, new victims continue to come forward. It has been very
:03:46. > :03:50.demanding on our safeguarding staff. Many more people have come forward.
:03:50. > :03:53.It is very important but at this stage the story is told. They then
:03:53. > :04:03.saved it is very important but at this stage the story is told. They
:04:03. > :04:07.
:04:07. > :04:09.can save the UN way the full -- they say night it is important that the
:04:09. > :04:12.full story comes out. I'm joined now by Ed Thornton from
:04:12. > :04:17.the Church Times newspaper. Mr Thornton, how significant a
:04:17. > :04:23.statement is this from the Church? They are very significant. It was
:04:23. > :04:29.unanimously agreed that the church had apologised unfailingly for its
:04:29. > :04:35.problems. The mood at the debate was very sombre. The Archbishop of
:04:35. > :04:40.Canterbury called it agonising at times and high in adequate it
:04:40. > :04:46.safeguarding failures had been. It is also important that the church is
:04:46. > :04:50.taking action. This safeguarding besiegers will be toughened up,
:04:50. > :04:53.bringing in new roles and legislation to make sure that
:04:53. > :05:00.processes are reviewed, and bishops are given more powers to sustain --
:05:00. > :05:08.to suspend priest suspected of abuse. This is what Dr Martin Warner
:05:08. > :05:16.had to say to the synod about the investigation. I would like to
:05:16. > :05:18.commend the works of Colin Campbell, the journalist, whose
:05:18. > :05:27.working has been fearless. I would like to commend the other
:05:27. > :05:33.survivors. What is your reaction to that? I would agree with him in
:05:33. > :05:38.paying tribute to be busy side. They had carried out vital work. It is
:05:38. > :05:46.shameful for the charge that it required this kind of journalism to
:05:46. > :05:49.uncover what was needed to be uncovered. Hopefully in future, the
:05:49. > :05:56.church will be transparent and besiegers would be at that will be
:05:56. > :05:59.in place. How is this situation in Sussex being viewed across the rest
:05:59. > :06:03.of the country? Are you looking at dioceses across the country and
:06:03. > :06:07.examining their child protection systems? Absolutely. The judges
:06:07. > :06:12.reviewing its child protection policies. It used this report to
:06:12. > :06:16.draw lessons for the whole Church. People were saying yesterday that
:06:16. > :06:20.safeguarding training in their own diocese wasn't adequate. People have
:06:20. > :06:30.the message know that they do have to raise their game on this, that it
:06:30. > :06:36.is vitally important. It has shaken a lot of people up and it is
:06:36. > :06:39.realised might have to be at the top of the agenda for the church.
:06:39. > :06:42.An inquest into the death of a schoolboy has heard how he cried out
:06:42. > :06:45.before he was fatally hit by a Land Rover outside his school near
:06:45. > :06:48.Crawley. 13-year-old William Avery-Wright was crossing the road
:06:48. > :06:51.on his way to Worth School's rugby field last November when the
:06:51. > :06:53.incident happened. The boy's parents are suing the school, claiming
:06:53. > :06:57.teachers should have supervised him crossing the road. They are also
:06:57. > :06:59.angry that the school announced the news of his death on its website
:06:59. > :07:08.before his father had been informed. Our news correspondent Paul Siegert
:07:08. > :07:15.reports. One macro was a teenager he excelled
:07:15. > :07:21.at most sports. On the 30th of the member 2000 -- 2000 and love --
:07:21. > :07:25.2011, when he tried to cross this route, he was head by a white Land
:07:25. > :07:30.Rover. Although he was airlifted to hospital, she died from his
:07:30. > :07:34.injuries. Today we heard from the driver of that white Land Rover. He
:07:34. > :07:38.told the inquest he was driving along the road at about 40 miles an
:07:38. > :07:43.hour when Williams stepped in front of his car. He had no chance to
:07:43. > :07:47.stop. The court heard that the speed limit was 60 and that he did not
:07:47. > :07:51.face any charges. Much of the Saddam was taken up with discussions over
:07:51. > :07:54.exactly what the policy of the school was crossing the road. The
:07:54. > :07:59.deputy headteacher told the inquest that pupils are regularly told they
:07:59. > :08:03.could not cross the road unless they were supervised. Several statements
:08:03. > :08:06.read out from pupils contradicted this. The people saying that they
:08:06. > :08:12.understanding was that they could cross the road unsupervised as long
:08:12. > :08:20.as they took due care. Asked by the solicitor representing the family of
:08:20. > :08:24.the dead boy, if they were running late, what would he expect the boys
:08:24. > :08:34.to do. He said he would accept at expected them to be later go to
:08:34. > :08:36.
:08:36. > :08:46.In a moment: No more scrabbling for cash when you cross at Dartford, but
:08:46. > :08:52.
:08:52. > :08:55.the new charging system could cost the taxpayer millions of pounds.
:08:55. > :08:57.One of country's oldest windmills has been vandalised after graffiti
:08:57. > :09:01.was scrawled over much of the structure. The damage appeared late
:09:01. > :09:08.last night on the Smock Mill, a 200-year-old landmark on the edge of
:09:08. > :09:13.the village of Rottingdean, near Brighton. John Young has more.
:09:13. > :09:21.For 211 years it has watched over its village, survived lightning,
:09:21. > :09:27.wind and arson. Absolutely shocked. Why would somebody do that in such a
:09:27. > :09:31.lovely village? It is horrible that people would want to do fear
:09:31. > :09:37.something as beautiful as that. As Windmill school, it has stories to
:09:37. > :09:42.tell. One of the most recognisable in the world, it is claimed. It is
:09:42. > :09:48.unmissable as you drive east out of Brighton, the symbol of a Sussex
:09:48. > :09:53.village. Yet last night that the -- a resident of that village almost
:09:53. > :09:56.caught the culprits. I recognised it was graffiti. I looked outside to
:09:56. > :10:02.see a vacancy anyone. Just as I was looking, two heads popped up from
:10:03. > :10:12.behind the wall. I rushed out through here and in the meantime
:10:12. > :10:17.they had run up the side of the wall and grind here. They got away, not
:10:17. > :10:25.before leaving Denmark elsewhere. Two men in their late teens or early
:10:25. > :10:35.20s, at high speed in a mini. It was the talk of the village today.
:10:35. > :10:36.
:10:36. > :10:42.pure vandalism. We spend a lot of money keeping this monument nice. It
:10:42. > :10:48.matters because at the faces one of the major sites here. You can see
:10:49. > :10:54.the windmill from miles around. parish council hoped to have the
:10:54. > :10:56.graffiti removed in the next couple of days.
:10:57. > :10:59.A 47-year-old man has been arrested by Metropolitan Police in connection
:10:59. > :11:01.with racist comments sent to a former Gillingham Football player on
:11:02. > :11:04.a social networking site. Threatening messages were sent to
:11:04. > :11:07.Mark McCammon who won a tribunal against Gillingham last year over
:11:07. > :11:15.racial victimisation. The man has been released on bail pending
:11:15. > :11:18.further enquires. A meeting is being held tonight in
:11:18. > :11:22.Sevenoaks to discuss plans for what would, in effect, be the first new
:11:22. > :11:25.grammar school in 50 years. Weald of Kent Grammar in Tonbridge is
:11:25. > :11:29.presenting its plans for a satellite school to parents in the Sevenoaks
:11:29. > :11:32.area. Kent County Council signed an agreement in March with Maidstone's
:11:32. > :11:38.Invicta Grammar School to run the annexe, but Weald of Kent announced
:11:38. > :11:41.a rival bid last month. The Conservative MP for Crawley,
:11:41. > :11:43.Henry Smith, has written to Sussex Police asking them to investigate
:11:43. > :11:47.whether there have been any irregularities in the way Labour
:11:47. > :11:50.parliamentary candidates in the South East have been selected. It
:11:50. > :11:53.comes less than a week after the Labour leader, Ed Miliband,
:11:53. > :11:56.instructed his party to hand over evidence to police in Scotland, in
:11:56. > :11:59.response to claims that the Unite union tried to fix the result of a
:11:59. > :12:01.candidate selection in Falkirk. Our political reporter Ellie Price joins
:12:01. > :12:11.us now from Brighton, where Labour have just selected two candidates
:12:11. > :12:17.
:12:17. > :12:22.for the next General Election. Ellie.
:12:22. > :12:25.Crawley is 450 miles away from Falkirk, yet the MP there says what
:12:25. > :12:30.allegedly happened in the Scottish consistency is closer to home than
:12:30. > :12:34.he is comfortable with. Although the Labour candidate for Crawley will be
:12:34. > :12:39.selected until Sunday, he said some of the same practices that happened
:12:39. > :12:46.in Scotland could be happening here. There are a number of constituencies
:12:46. > :12:50.in Sussex and East Sussex were Labour are selecting. Crawley there
:12:51. > :12:55.is a big Unite union office, therefore I think it is worth
:12:55. > :13:03.shining a light onto the Labour selection process just to make sure
:13:03. > :13:08.that wrongdoing is not going on in their selections in Sussex.
:13:08. > :13:18.Miller bunts was in full on Friday, and he said that Falkirk was a
:13:18. > :13:22.
:13:22. > :13:29.one-off. Over in Hove, the prepared -- preferred union candidate was
:13:29. > :13:34.Simon Burgess, but he lost out. This is a right that is likely to go on
:13:34. > :13:36.into the next general election. They focus on these marginal seats, and
:13:36. > :13:41.all political parties will be looking to score points off one
:13:41. > :13:44.another. Our top story tonight: The
:13:44. > :13:48.Archbishop of Canterbury has today signalled that he will support calls
:13:48. > :13:50.for a full public inquiry into child sex abuse in the Church of England.
:13:50. > :13:53.His announcement comes as the Bishop of Chichester commended BBC South
:13:53. > :14:03.East Today for helping to expose failings surrounding child sex
:14:03. > :14:05.
:14:05. > :14:09.abuse. Also in tonight's programme: I'm at
:14:09. > :14:15.the local tennis club in Tunbridge Wells, whether people have been
:14:15. > :14:22.inspired by British champion. Everybody is out and about enjoying
:14:22. > :14:24.the sunshine, but is it set to last? Find out in my forecast later.
:14:24. > :14:27.An investigation by BBC South East Today can exclusively reveal that
:14:27. > :14:30.plans for the current Dartford Crossing to introduce a cash-less
:14:30. > :14:33.charging system could cost millions of pounds in unpaid tolls by foreign
:14:33. > :14:36.drivers. Last year, more than 50 million vehicles used the bridge and
:14:36. > :14:46.the tunnel. The crossing generates more than �40 million in profit
:14:46. > :14:48.
:14:48. > :14:50.every year, money which goes to the Treasury. From October next year,
:14:50. > :14:53.the barriers will be removed and drivers will be charged
:14:53. > :14:56.electronically. The Highways Agency says it will improve congestion but
:14:56. > :14:58.it could cost more than �200 million in unpaid charges over the next
:14:58. > :15:08.decade. Our Business Correspondent Mark Norman has tonight's special
:15:08. > :15:10.
:15:10. > :15:14.report. It is a huge cash cow generated
:15:14. > :15:19.millions of pounds, but it also gets heavily congested. In October next
:15:19. > :15:23.year of the barriers will do, and you free flow system will be
:15:23. > :15:33.introduced that everyone agrees will ease congestion. Drivers will pay
:15:33. > :15:33.
:15:33. > :15:36.electronically. Would you see no people stopping and paying at the
:15:36. > :15:41.barrier, those barriers will be removed and the charge will be
:15:41. > :15:47.collected remotely. Number recognition cameras will check
:15:47. > :15:50.vehicles against the records kept at the DVLA. Hi Will foreign lorry
:15:50. > :15:53.drivers pay? Some motoring organisations say they will slip
:15:53. > :16:00.through the net and that will cost the Treasury millions of pounds
:16:00. > :16:06.every year. The high wage -- the highways agency reckons 70% of
:16:06. > :16:16.people won't pay. That is about 3.5 million people. Statistics show that
:16:16. > :16:22.foreign drivers are twice as likely not to pay, the majority at HDD --
:16:22. > :16:29.it's cheap the drivers. That would come up to �210 million of lost
:16:29. > :16:34.revenue. We know from experiences that nine payment of congestion
:16:34. > :16:41.charge and parking fines is a real issue with foreign vehicles. The
:16:41. > :16:46.situation will be far worse for the highways agency, given the high
:16:46. > :16:51.volumes, particularly in the Dartford area. It is an issue and we
:16:51. > :16:56.will be putting in place arrangements through our service
:16:57. > :17:01.provider to detect overseas vehicles and we will have to put in place a
:17:01. > :17:06.European debt recovery agency. Simply chasing the death is not the
:17:06. > :17:12.solution, according to the RAC. there is a penalty charge for UK
:17:12. > :17:18.drivers, there must be one for foreign drivers. It needs to be
:17:19. > :17:23.levied somewhere. If that is nine at Dover, so be it. So, free-flowing
:17:23. > :17:28.might solve the problem of congestion, but it will create
:17:28. > :17:38.another. It is a problem the new Thames crossing might inherit, if it

:20:31. > :20:34.other ideas, a choice between taking it up, or taking it on. His
:20:34. > :20:37.paintings are some of the most valuable and sought after in the
:20:37. > :20:40.world but few are aware that some of John Constable's most acclaimed
:20:40. > :20:43.works originated in a studio in Brighton. Constable produced around
:20:43. > :20:46.200 paintings in and around his studio in the city at a phenomenal
:20:46. > :20:49.rate. Sometimes he churned out a fresh work every couple of hours.

:21:11. > :21:16.reports. The Brighton beach, painted in 1824.
:21:16. > :21:22.The chain Pier in Brighton, 1827. This was a time when Constable was
:21:22. > :21:27.at his most productive and adventurous. It was all happening
:21:27. > :21:33.here, in what he called his painting room in Brighton. It has been a
:21:33. > :21:40.mystery since 1850, no one knew where it has been. Lots of senior
:21:40. > :21:47.art historians, none of them have been able to work it out. It has
:21:47. > :21:52.been a great privilege to be able to find out. It was John Constable's
:21:52. > :21:55.great-grandson who had the honour of unveiling a blue plaque to mark his
:21:56. > :22:04.seaside retreat. Constable thought it would help ease his wife's to
:22:04. > :22:10.bridge Eleusis. Because Mariah was not well, initially he took up to
:22:10. > :22:18.Hamstead to get out of the map of London, which was very dirty at the
:22:18. > :22:25.time. He used to bring the family dying here to get the sea breezes,
:22:25. > :22:30.and make her feel better. The hey we was being sent to Paris at the time
:22:30. > :22:34.he came to Brighton and many of his works from the painting room also

:22:56. > :23:06.that kind of shadow over you. A good thing to live under and, hopefully,
:23:06. > :23:15.
:23:15. > :23:18.it will spur us on to create masterpieces. As you are probably
:23:18. > :23:21.aware, Andy Murray has done what no British man has done in 77 years,
