:01:18. > :01:21.Good evening. The estranged wife of the paralysed former motorbike stunt
:01:21. > :01:23.rider Eddie Kidd has been given a five-month sentence for assaulting
:01:24. > :01:27.him. Samatha Kidd, who's from Seaford in East Sussex pleaded
:01:27. > :01:29.gulity to beating the 54-year-old star, who uses a wheelchair, over a
:01:30. > :01:36.four-month period. The judge told Samatha Kidd the sentence reflected
:01:36. > :01:42."the severity of the abuse of trust and power".
:01:42. > :01:47.Perceiving, Samatha Kidd is getting ready to spend the first night
:01:47. > :01:51.behind bars for punching, slapping and throttling her husband Eddie
:01:51. > :01:57.Kidd on four separate occasions. would like to say this has been a
:01:57. > :02:01.particularly sad case from the outset but I am especially pleased
:02:01. > :02:05.that Samatha Kidd has admitted her wrongdoings and has been brought to
:02:05. > :02:15.justice. Last summer, Samatha Kidd cheered Eddie Kidd on as he carried
:02:15. > :02:17.
:02:17. > :02:23.the Olympic flame through Lewes. But she furiously beat him, tried to
:02:23. > :02:33.strangle him and had to be pulled off by a witness who described the
:02:33. > :02:34.
:02:34. > :02:38.paralysed Eddie as... In 1929 he jumped 80 foot across an Essex
:02:38. > :02:43.railway bridge and in 1993 he jumped across the great Wall of China.
:02:44. > :02:46.During his career, he made more than 10,000 jumps and appeared as a stunt
:02:46. > :02:52.double in films including James Bond films but his life changed for ever
:02:52. > :02:56.when he suffered serious injuries in a crash in 1996. Since then, he has
:02:56. > :03:00.raised thousands of pounds for charity including walking the London
:03:00. > :03:06.Marathon in 50 days. Today, the court heard how Eddie Kidd was also
:03:06. > :03:15.verbally abused by his wife. It is just as important as physical abuse
:03:15. > :03:21.and it adds up to a grim picture. There is a bigger picture here. It
:03:21. > :03:24.shouldn't happen but it is all too common. The judge said he had to
:03:24. > :03:30.sentence from the highest guidelines because this was repeated violence
:03:31. > :03:35.on a Honourable disabled man who Samatha Kidd did not shy away from
:03:35. > :03:38.assaulting. The defence team described Samatha Kidd as a victim
:03:38. > :03:42.also, somebody who could not cope with the deterioration of her
:03:42. > :03:44.husband of three years but the judge said the assaults would have left
:03:44. > :03:48.Eddie Kidd feeling powerless and alone and she must serve a prison
:03:48. > :03:51.sentence. A garage manager from Kent is
:03:51. > :03:55.fighting for his life tonight after he was carried half a mile down the
:03:56. > :03:58.road on the bonnet of a car when he tried to stop the driver from
:03:58. > :04:01.leaving the forecourt without paying for fuel. Lekshmanan Asokkumar was
:04:01. > :04:04.seriously injured at the Texaco service station at West Kingsdown
:04:04. > :04:07.near Sevenoaks which he runs with his wife. Our reporter Simon Jones
:04:07. > :04:17.is there. The police really are throwing a lot of effort into
:04:17. > :04:20.
:04:20. > :04:23.finding this car driver? Yes, this happened yesterday afternoon just
:04:23. > :04:27.after 2pm. The manager became suspicious about a black car which
:04:27. > :04:33.had arrived on the forecourt, there was a man and a woman inside, it
:04:33. > :04:36.took around �40 of fuel and then he went to talk to them and was hit and
:04:37. > :04:45.carried right down the road. Tonight, bosses are offering a
:04:45. > :04:48.�5,000 reward for information leading to a conviction. This is
:04:48. > :04:53.Lekshmanan Asokkumar on the bonnet and then he was left for dead. A
:04:53. > :04:56.popular manager of a garage, this was him last year filmed with his
:04:57. > :05:02.wife. I think they are the lowest below and hopefully somebody will
:05:03. > :05:06.see this on the news and in the papers and know who these people are
:05:06. > :05:10.or maybe they will get a guilt complex because at the end of the
:05:10. > :05:14.day, they could've killed my husband, the father of his two
:05:14. > :05:17.children and I think it is despicable. People who know him say
:05:17. > :05:22.they are not surprised he challenged the driver trying to get away
:05:23. > :05:25.without paying. Vic Reeves shock, horror. 15 years in this particular
:05:25. > :05:32.industry, I have never come across the likes of this before,
:05:32. > :05:37.thankfully. Our thoughts are with the thoughts and directors and his
:05:37. > :05:41.wife Judy and himself, we have for a speedy recovery. It is not clear
:05:41. > :05:45.whether he fell off my crappy car or whether he was pushed off but the
:05:45. > :05:49.police reaction to what happened is clear. The driver of that vehicle
:05:49. > :05:52.had ample opportunity to stop. The length of the journey between the
:05:53. > :05:59.service station and where he was thrown off is significant.
:05:59. > :06:03.Consequently, inevitably the consequences are that he would
:06:03. > :06:07.sustain serious injuries. Garage owners are advised not to risk their
:06:07. > :06:10.own safety when confronted with suspected fuel thieves but everybody
:06:10. > :06:16.is shocked at the length is one driver was prepared to go to to get
:06:16. > :06:20.away. This happened at a busy time of the afternoon so the police are
:06:20. > :06:25.appealing for witnesses to come forward. Last year, the number of
:06:25. > :06:31.people driving off without paying from garages in Kent rose up to
:06:31. > :06:37.2000, perhaps a sign of the economic times. Nobody expected would happen
:06:37. > :06:40.here yesterday no matter how keen they are to deal with the problem.
:06:40. > :06:45.In a moment, how Kent could have been deliberately flooded in the
:06:45. > :06:49.1980s to prevent London being swamped by a tidal surge.
:06:49. > :06:52.An inquest into the death of a soldier from Kent - and the second
:06:52. > :06:55.person to be awarded a Victoria Cross in Afghanistan - has found
:06:55. > :06:59.that he was unlawfully killed by enemy attack. Lance Corporal James
:06:59. > :07:08.Ashworth, who was 23, died as he came under attack, trying to protect
:07:08. > :07:16.his team in Helmand province last year.
:07:16. > :07:21.As Lance Corporal James Ashworth pro cover, -- broke cover, he was hit by
:07:21. > :07:27.a bullet. Today his family were in court to hear the coroner's verdict
:07:27. > :07:37.of unlawful killing. James passed away doing a job he loved. At times
:07:37. > :07:40.it was hard but he experienced one of her friends. Then Nick named for
:07:40. > :07:45.him that when the nickname for him was Jimmy and I know they miss him
:07:46. > :07:49.as much as we do. He was killed by his own grenade as he served in
:07:49. > :07:56.Afghanistan. In May, he was posthumously awarded the Victoria
:07:56. > :08:01.Cross. The country's hires reward -- highest reward. A coroner ruled that
:08:01. > :08:08.he was unlawfully killed. His family collected his gallantry award in
:08:08. > :08:11.May, only the second soldier to be awarded the Victoria Cross in the 12
:08:11. > :08:20.year conflict in Afghanistan. His father spoke ahead of collecting the
:08:20. > :08:24.award. Model -- we have a lot of pride but it brings back a lot of
:08:24. > :08:30.grief as well so it will be an extremely difficult day but it will
:08:30. > :08:32.be a proud day. He is thought of everyday by all of us. Lance
:08:33. > :08:40.Corporal Ashworth's commanding officer said he was the bravest
:08:40. > :08:42.Plans drawn up by one of Britain's leading architects to redevelop
:08:42. > :08:45.Folkestone seafront have been agreed by councillors. Sir Terry Farrell's
:08:45. > :08:48.designs were commissioned by the local businessman, Roger De Haan.
:08:48. > :08:58.They include up to 1,000 new homes, business space and sports facilities
:08:58. > :09:01.on a 23-hectare site. People leaving Gatwick on Ryanair
:09:01. > :09:05.flights are unwittingly spending a little longer in the skies to save
:09:05. > :09:08.on fuel bills. To make up for a drop in profits, the airline's adding two
:09:08. > :09:15.minutes to one-hour flights. Deputy chief executive Howard Millar denied
:09:15. > :09:19.the extra time would significantly lengthen journeys.
:09:19. > :09:21.It's official - Brighton and Hove City Council does make the most
:09:21. > :09:25.profit from parking charges outside London, according to figures from
:09:25. > :09:28.the RAC Foundation - �14 million - though the council says it's nearer
:09:28. > :09:30.�13 million. Traders and visitors have long complained about the Green
:09:30. > :09:33.council's deliberate policy of high parking charges, though many
:09:33. > :09:42.residents have welcomed it. Our political reporter Ellie Price joins
:09:42. > :09:47.us from Brighton now. This seems like a huge amount of money.
:09:47. > :09:50.does. We are talking about a profit made on top of the parking
:09:50. > :09:55.operations are parking tickets, fines and residence permits. You may
:09:55. > :10:00.remember earlier in the week there was a case where a counsellor in
:10:00. > :10:07.north London was found to have used parking illegally to supplement the
:10:07. > :10:13.budget. They must not do that but it has come as little consolation to
:10:13. > :10:17.those who say that these are ruining their livelihoods. Resident of
:10:17. > :10:21.visitor, parking in Brighton and Hove is not cheap. But the news it
:10:21. > :10:26.is quite such a moneyspinner has angered those who think it is bad
:10:26. > :10:32.for business. It limits what customers can spend and they come
:10:32. > :10:37.here and so about 30 or 40% of it is taking up by parking charges. So it
:10:37. > :10:43.is less money for the local economy. And for some, the glorious weather
:10:44. > :10:49.was overshadowed by the parking meter. Absolutely disgusting. I live
:10:49. > :10:52.in London and have just paid �10 for four hours. Taking my elderly mother
:10:52. > :10:58.to the sea, I have to drop at the top, she does not have to disable
:10:58. > :11:01.past but she is elderly. �10 is a lot of money. It is not a green
:11:01. > :11:07.issue, it is not green to keep people moving around looking for
:11:07. > :11:13.parking spaces. It is a crazy situation. It is expensive but I
:11:13. > :11:18.really think something has got to be done to actually reduce the amount
:11:18. > :11:23.of cars that are coming into the city. Come down to Madeira Drive
:11:24. > :11:29.next to the seafront and parking for the whole day, that will cost �15.
:11:29. > :11:38.And it is charges like that that other and the council �14.4 million
:11:38. > :11:45.last year, an increase of 23% from 2009. The reality is the area is a
:11:45. > :11:50.popular place and we think lots of people have come here. And while
:11:50. > :11:55.many of them come by train or on the buses, a good number drive so we
:11:55. > :11:59.have to try to manage the impact of that in terms of the impact on the
:11:59. > :12:02.road network and the availability of parking. It is fine for local
:12:02. > :12:06.authorities to operate a parking policy and get money out of it. It
:12:06. > :12:10.is not fine or even legal for them to raise money in that way in order
:12:10. > :12:15.to fund their general expenditures. The City Council here say they are
:12:15. > :12:21.ploughing all the revenue back into other transport improvements like
:12:21. > :12:25.buses. And encouraging parking of a different, green kind. I should say
:12:25. > :12:29.that on the evidence we saw today, it has not stopped people coming to
:12:29. > :12:33.the city and parking. We have trouble finding a space ourselves.
:12:33. > :12:38.But the anger is coming from people who feel they need to use the cars
:12:38. > :12:42.in the city and are being used to fund the council when it is not
:12:42. > :12:45.It's emerged that Government officials thought of deliberately
:12:45. > :12:48.flooding parts of Kent in the early 1980s to prevent central London from
:12:48. > :12:51.being swamped by a tidal surge. Official papers have revealed that
:12:51. > :12:54.gates for the Thames Barrier, that were under construction, had been
:12:54. > :12:57.delayed by a strike, causing fears the capital could be left
:12:57. > :13:07.unprotected. Sara Smith joins us live from the Thames Barrier in
:13:07. > :13:12.
:13:12. > :13:16.London. This sounds extraordinary? It does sound extraordinary. The
:13:16. > :13:20.Government, thinking the unthinkable. Before the barrier he
:13:20. > :13:24.was built, they were thinking of letting flood waters devastate Kent
:13:24. > :13:31.or London. The archives show that it would be major political and
:13:31. > :13:35.economic hub for the Government, not to mention a logistical nightmare.
:13:35. > :13:40.1953 and a huge tidal surge along the east coast leaves 43,000 people
:13:40. > :13:45.homeless and more than 300 dead. Nearly 30 years later, there were
:13:45. > :13:50.fears of a similar type, this one threatening London. So this was the
:13:50. > :13:54.plan - to protect the city. The only problem, the Thames barrier had not
:13:54. > :13:59.been finished. The great steel gates which would hold back the tide were
:13:59. > :14:02.stuck in the north-east because of a dockyard strike. It was time to
:14:02. > :14:06.consider a secondary plan. And it was today at the National archive
:14:06. > :14:12.Centre that the Plan B was revealed. Discussions at the highest level of
:14:12. > :14:16.government, considered letting Kent floods to save the capital. They
:14:16. > :14:21.talk about the possibility of explosives being used on certain
:14:21. > :14:24.reaches of the Thames in order to deliberately make it burst its banks
:14:24. > :14:31.and then that water might be diverted into Kent and Essex in
:14:31. > :14:33.order to save London and the city. Without such a plan and before the
:14:33. > :14:43.Thames barrier was built, London could only brace itself for
:14:43. > :14:46.flooding. The Thames can only hold so much. A sudden surge tide and
:14:46. > :14:53.London could be flooded. If you live, work, or travel in London,
:14:53. > :14:57.make sure you know the flood drill. Ask for details now. They would move
:14:57. > :15:03.the buses to the higher ground, warned people not to sleep in the
:15:03. > :15:12.basements, they called it the flood drill. Now when the surge tide
:15:12. > :15:17.approaches, the barrier gets into action. These were mock-ups, but
:15:17. > :15:22.today the nightmare for Kent was revealed which was at least
:15:22. > :15:27.considered for a possible alternative. In fact, the barrier
:15:27. > :15:32.was finished by the end of 1982. No flood, no need to sacrifice London
:15:32. > :15:41.or Kent and today, you can go and several years without it being used
:15:41. > :15:46.or it can be used to dozens signs -- two dozen times in a year.
:15:46. > :15:51.These are the top stories tonight: The estranged wife of the paralysed
:15:51. > :15:57.former motorbike rider Eddie Kidd has been given a five-month sentence
:15:57. > :16:00.for assaulting him. The judge told Samatha Kidd, who's from East
:16:00. > :16:02.Sussex, that the sentence reflected "the severity of the abuse of trust
:16:03. > :16:06.and power". Also in tonight's programme: how far
:16:06. > :16:11.would you travel to taste the best fish and chips? A Brighton chippy is
:16:11. > :16:18.drawing customers from as far away as China.
:16:18. > :16:22.Will this hot weather continue? Two emulator to find out. -- join me
:16:22. > :16:26.later to find out. For more than a week now, a small
:16:26. > :16:28.village in Sussex has found itself at the centre of an international
:16:28. > :16:32.row over oil production and we've brought you some extraordinary
:16:32. > :16:37.pictures. If the company behind it hoped the protests in Balcombe would
:16:37. > :16:39.soon die away, they've been sorely disappointed. Today, four more
:16:39. > :16:48.people were arrested. Our environment correspondent Yvette
:16:48. > :16:53.Austin has today's developments for Moved to the side. They ate and
:16:53. > :16:59.tensions are running high and the test drilling for oil could
:16:59. > :17:03.beginning at any time now. Holding up lorries, carrying equipment, that
:17:03. > :17:08.is their main aim. The police are trying to clear their way. One woman
:17:08. > :17:12.ended up on the floor and was treated for minor injuries. It was a
:17:12. > :17:14.much calmer atmosphere earlier this morning when the protesters felt
:17:14. > :17:23.they had the upper hand. They blocked the entrance to the site.
:17:23. > :17:27.The protesters have brought in this decommissioned fire engine at
:17:27. > :17:31.6:40am. There are two protesters chained to the steering wheel, two
:17:31. > :17:36.more inside and two on the roof and they are standing firm. They are
:17:36. > :17:40.having difficulty getting one door off so I have a feeling that we will
:17:41. > :17:46.be here for a while. We have food and water and we can stay as long as
:17:46. > :17:50.possible. A week might be optimistic we want to delay this process for as
:17:50. > :17:53.long as possible. It did not last a week. Mid-morning and four
:17:53. > :18:01.protesters are cut free by police with specialist equipment and
:18:01. > :18:11.arrested. this test drilling goes ahead, it
:18:11. > :18:20.
:18:20. > :18:27.will lead to a wave of fracking. testing does involve some flaring if
:18:27. > :18:32.there is gas, which are not expecting to find it but again it is
:18:32. > :18:39.shielded. But the protests entered a new level. Many children from
:18:39. > :18:44.Balcombe came to hear stories by a top political cartoonist. If the
:18:44. > :18:48.company who are drilling here does this test well, the chances are they
:18:48. > :18:51.can do it all over Sussex so I think it is something we should all be
:18:51. > :18:56.concerned about. The fire engine may have been towed away but protesters
:18:56. > :19:00.will no doubt be thinking now more ways to block work here.
:19:00. > :19:06.That report by Yvette Austin and she joins us live now from Balcombe. Any
:19:06. > :19:12.news on when the test drilling will start? What is lined up for the
:19:12. > :19:15.ninth day? It has entered a pre-drilling phase. In the equipment
:19:15. > :19:20.has gone in to be assembled and it is now being tested. Some changes
:19:20. > :19:25.may have to be made but it suggests that we are close to that test
:19:25. > :19:28.drilling. Tempers were afraid more today when the lorries began
:19:28. > :19:37.arriving again. The protesters now in their heart of hearts they cannot
:19:37. > :19:40.stop this drilling that they have succeeded in delaying it.
:19:40. > :19:48.And you can find out much more about both sides of the argument on
:19:48. > :19:51.fracking by logging on to the BBC's website.
:19:51. > :19:54.A unique collection of paintings, sketches, pottery and sculptures are
:19:54. > :19:58.up for auction this weekend. Not that surprising, perhaps until we
:19:58. > :20:01.tell you who the artist is behind them. It's the artist and comedian
:20:01. > :20:05.Vic Reeves, best known, perhaps, for his appearances on "Shooting Stars"
:20:05. > :20:08.but he was having a clear-out of his home in Kent, so now they're up for
:20:08. > :20:18.grabs. And as our reporter Robin Gibson explains, there's a final
:20:18. > :20:24.
:20:24. > :20:31.twist. The auction is in a railway You are entering the world of the
:20:31. > :20:35.artist Jim Moir, also known as Vic Reeves. A small fraction of the art
:20:35. > :20:41.he has been working on over many years. This is how he started out
:20:41. > :20:45.and it is still how he sees himself. I do a lot of artwork in many forms
:20:45. > :20:52.but this lot goes back about ten years. I don't count the years.
:20:52. > :20:57.began in art, didn't you? Yes, I went to art school. I consider it
:20:57. > :21:04.all art. Acting, painting, making pots, it is all art works in its
:21:04. > :21:14.various guises. A one off artist in a one-off auction. Having it in a
:21:14. > :21:17.
:21:17. > :21:21.railway station seems very Vic years? I keep going back to it. It
:21:21. > :21:26.will never be finished but somebody has bought it now. But I did say I

:22:52. > :22:56.old quarry which means it is surrounded by chalk cliffs which are
:22:56. > :23:03.ideal for Peregrine Falcons. Why have you brought me to this
:23:03. > :23:08.spot? This is their home range, where this particular Falcon is
:23:08. > :23:14.sheltered and so sheltered that the male and female can rear their young
:23:14. > :23:22.in relative safety and security. What sort of behaviour are we seeing

:25:03. > :25:08.steady stream of Chinese visitors coming into the restaurant and we
:25:08. > :25:13.could not work out why we are getting so many Chinese. It is due
:25:13. > :25:17.to one of the most famous chefs in China, who ate a meal and was so
:25:17. > :25:23.impressed he wrote a review online. That has been getting lots of hits,
