:00:08. > :00:16.top stories: No more adverts for payday loan companies - a Kent
:00:16. > :00:20.council says it may consider a blanket ban.
:00:20. > :00:24.People just have not got the money to be paying that and then it puts
:00:24. > :00:27.more pressure on them to pay it, how deep a? Then they get another loan
:00:27. > :00:30.to pay that. Police investigate how a 25-year-old
:00:31. > :00:34.man died after he was ejected from a nightclub.
:00:34. > :00:37.We'll have the latest from our reporter who's in Deal this evening

:01:07. > :01:13.
:01:13. > :01:16.the odds to survive a terrible Good evening. There are calls
:01:16. > :01:19.tonight for a Kent council to ban all adverts for payday loan
:01:19. > :01:23.companies. It could also see Medway Council blocking people accessing
:01:23. > :01:26.such companies' websites in public libraries.
:01:26. > :01:30.The Labour group believes billboards and bus shelters displaying payday
:01:30. > :01:34.loan adverts sends out the wrong message. It comes after Plymouth
:01:35. > :01:44.became the first council in Britain to ban payday loan ads. Simon Jones
:01:45. > :02:02.
:02:02. > :02:08.has this report. We have a technical problem with
:02:08. > :02:14.that at the moment. We can cross over to Simon who will be reporting
:02:15. > :02:18.in Chatham for us. So, clearly this has been suggested because of what
:02:18. > :02:24.has already gone on in Plymouth, but I believe not everyone is convinced
:02:24. > :02:28.that a ban would be affected? The leader of the council says he is
:02:28. > :02:32.certainly going to look at this idea, but he says he needs to talk
:02:32. > :02:36.to his legal team about whether this ban could be effective.
:02:36. > :02:43.The idea is to ban posters from the area and also other issues that
:02:43. > :02:47.would. People getting onto these websites in local libraries. The
:02:47. > :02:52.citizens advice bureau say they are not convinced by the idea because
:02:52. > :02:56.many people access websites from their homes or from their phones.
:02:56. > :02:59.They are not convinced that a ban will achieve anything and that is
:02:59. > :03:05.the big issue. What happened in Plymouth has only just been
:03:05. > :03:09.introduced, so at the moment there is no data to suggest whether it'll
:03:09. > :03:14.be effective. It can be difficult to take on these firms. The Archbishop
:03:14. > :03:20.of Canterbury said he would like to see one of the payday firms taken
:03:20. > :03:23.out of existence by competition, but then he discovered the very next day
:03:23. > :03:26.that the Church of England had indirectly invested in that very
:03:26. > :03:29.firm. Three nightclub bouncers have been
:03:29. > :03:32.interviewed by police over the death of a man who collapsed after being
:03:32. > :03:36.ejected from a Kent nightclub. The 25-year-old was found slumped on
:03:36. > :03:46.the pavement outside Rivals Nightclub in Deal. Well let's cross
:03:46. > :03:47.
:03:47. > :03:51.to Deal and our reporter Piers Hopkirk. Piers what more do we know?
:03:51. > :03:57.The nightclub was hosting a big night on Saturday called Break
:03:57. > :04:01.ology, a night that attracts hundreds of revellers. At around
:04:01. > :04:05.quarter past midnight, in the early hours of Sunday morning, police and
:04:05. > :04:10.paramedics were called here after reports that a man had collapsed
:04:10. > :04:14.after being ejected from the club. He was taken to the Queen
:04:14. > :04:20.Elizabeth, the Queen Mother Hospital in Margate, but he died a short
:04:20. > :04:24.while later. At this stage we do not know his name, his identity. The
:04:25. > :04:30.police have just told us he is 25 years old and he is from Margate,
:04:30. > :04:35.however flowers have been left here and there is a note on one bunch of
:04:35. > :04:41.flowers paying tribute to Michael. The words on it say, you had a heart
:04:41. > :04:47.of gold, we will always remember you, we will always love you.
:04:47. > :04:54.What is the latest on the men who were arrested?
:04:54. > :04:58.Well, three men have been arrested, they are aged 25, 38 and 44
:04:58. > :05:02.respectively. They are all doormen here. They were initially held in
:05:02. > :05:07.custody, but that lunchtime they were released on bail pending
:05:07. > :05:11.further enquiries. They have been asked to return and face further
:05:11. > :05:16.questions in November. In terms of the investigation, we expect a
:05:16. > :05:20.post-mortem to happen. That will try to establish exactly how this man
:05:20. > :05:23.died. It will help police as they continue to piece together exactly
:05:23. > :05:27.what happened. In a moment the spectacle, the glitz
:05:27. > :05:36.and glamour of top class yacht racing in Kent as the Ramsgate
:05:36. > :05:39.regatta gets underway. A Sussex boy who's mother tried to
:05:39. > :05:42.prevent him from having radiotherapy for a brain tumour has been speaking
:05:42. > :05:46.about it publicly for the first time.
:05:46. > :05:49.Neon Roberts is now eight - he did eventually have the treatment, but
:05:49. > :05:54.only after a High Court judge ruled he should do so despite his mother's
:05:54. > :05:57.wishes. Sally Roberts, a New Zealander living in Brighton, had
:05:57. > :06:06.described the treatment as "barbaric and plain torture". Rebecca Williams
:06:06. > :06:12.has more. When Neon Roberts was diagnosed with
:06:12. > :06:17.a brain tumour last year, his mother failed in a bid to stop him having
:06:17. > :06:22.radiotherapy. The story made headlines across the country. Ten
:06:22. > :06:28.months on and the eight-year-old has spoken out for the first time.
:06:28. > :06:37.made a bed for me on the couch and I got to watch movies. I had to stay
:06:37. > :06:44.at home for about ten days and then go back there. Even when you think
:06:44. > :06:49.the worse, you don't think it could be that bad. I just remember staring
:06:49. > :06:55.at a computer screen with a scan of his head. I remember the tumour
:06:56. > :06:59.taking up a large portion of the screen. On the 25th of October, Neon
:07:00. > :07:05.had an operation to remove the tumour. Between the third and six of
:07:05. > :07:09.December, Sally Roberts and Neon went missing. They were found safe
:07:09. > :07:15.and well and a few weeks later High Court judge ordered another
:07:15. > :07:20.operation should go head. That was against the wishes of Neon 's mother
:07:20. > :07:25.who described radiation as barbaric and plain torture. Everyone loves to
:07:25. > :07:33.think that doctors can have almighty powers and heal us and do the right
:07:33. > :07:36.thing by us and that they really care, but I beg to differ. To be in
:07:36. > :07:40.such a high-profile case at a difficult time can't be good for the
:07:40. > :07:44.family, but I think it does raise the profile of brain tumours because
:07:44. > :07:51.it is very misunderstood. It is the largest killer of children after
:07:51. > :07:54.leukaemia. We need more drugs with less side effects to treat children.
:07:54. > :07:58.Neon is now halfway through chemotherapy and his hair is growing
:07:58. > :08:02.back and he is gaining strength. His family described him as an
:08:02. > :08:11.inspiration. Police are appealing for witnesses
:08:11. > :08:12.after a 24-year-old woman was raped under Brighton pier in the early
:08:12. > :08:13.hours of Saturday morning. The woman had spent the evening with her
:08:13. > :08:16.sister at the Oceana Nightclub in the city, but after leaving the club
:08:16. > :08:24.she became separated from her and was attacked by a man who then ran
:08:24. > :08:27.off towards the Brighton Wheel. A deal bringing to an end the risk
:08:27. > :08:31.of more disruption over bin-collections in Brighton & Hove
:08:31. > :08:34.has been signed today. A week long pay dispute in June led to huge pile
:08:34. > :08:38.of rubbish building up in the city's streets. The council has now agreed
:08:38. > :08:40.a better pay deal, in return for more collections on bank holidays
:08:40. > :08:42.and weekends. While the Sussex village of Balcombe
:08:42. > :08:45.has been making national headlines with protests against fracking and
:08:45. > :08:49.the idea that prospectors might find oil underground, people in one
:08:49. > :08:53.picturesque Dorset village say they wonder what all the fuss is about.
:08:53. > :08:57.Corfe Castle has had Europes largest onshore oil field on it's doorstep
:08:57. > :09:01.for decades. Our Correspondent Mark Norman has been there to ask people
:09:01. > :09:10.about the impact its had on their lives - and found very few seem
:09:10. > :09:15.aware if fracking has ever gone on there or not.
:09:15. > :09:18.The village of Corfe Castle in Dorset, 350,000 visitors per year
:09:18. > :09:22.and largely maintained by the National trust. Compare the peace
:09:23. > :09:28.and quiet here with the events in bulk over the last two weeks. They
:09:28. > :09:33.trip is against demonstrators, tranquillity against frayed
:09:33. > :09:40.tempers. Hard to imagine that Europe's largest onshore wind farm
:09:40. > :09:44.is two miles away. I drove out there. It has one environmental
:09:44. > :09:48.awards and currently produces 16,000 barrels of oil per day. Perhaps,
:09:49. > :09:55.crucially, it has not fractured the ground to get the oil and in the
:09:55. > :10:05.statements, the company said fracking restraints to extensive
:10:05. > :10:09.hydraulic fracturing. The company themselves admit their
:10:09. > :10:12.oilfield is in one of the most environmentally sensitive areas of
:10:12. > :10:16.the UK. With such a large site on their doorstep, you would imagine
:10:16. > :10:23.the people in the village of Corfe Castle would have a problem with
:10:23. > :10:28.that, but it seems that they don't. The local bakery opens early and
:10:28. > :10:37.often serves workers from the oil company. I don't really notice it at
:10:37. > :10:40.all. It is so well covered under the trees, you don't notice it.
:10:40. > :10:47.Keeping the village presentable is critical, but does having an
:10:48. > :10:54.oilfield deter visitors? It does not affect us at all. It has no effect
:10:54. > :11:00.on the environment. During the time it has been here it has provided a
:11:00. > :11:06.lot of employment. At the moment there are about 100 direct employees
:11:06. > :11:13.working in the site and 250 indirect jobs, which is good. And the sort of
:11:13. > :11:19.issue that has been raised elsewhere has not occurred here. That issue is
:11:19. > :11:23.fracking, but of course it remains to be seen if quadrille find oil or
:11:23. > :11:26.if they need to use fracking to get it out of the ground or if Sussex
:11:26. > :11:31.residents would be happy with an oilfield like this one without the
:11:31. > :11:33.fracking. The Government says efforts to
:11:33. > :11:37.eradicate bovine tuberculosis from Britain are being stepped up from
:11:37. > :11:46.today. In addition to planned badger culling in the worst affected areas
:11:46. > :11:50.- bordering counties will now face tougher controls.
:11:50. > :11:54.There is a pocket of infection in East Sussex. We want to make sure
:11:54. > :11:59.that we deal with that in due course and we want to stop it spreading
:11:59. > :12:03.into the north of the county or into West Sussex. That is one of the
:12:03. > :12:07.reasons we are implementing the measures we are doing today, so that
:12:08. > :12:10.we can contain it as far as possible and deal with it in terms of
:12:10. > :12:13.eradication. Police investigating the murder of a
:12:14. > :12:16.man on a beach on the Isle of Sheppey are widening their search
:12:17. > :12:19.for information to London. The body of 34-year-old Gary Pocock was
:12:19. > :12:23.discovered on the beach near the Little Groves caravan site last
:12:23. > :12:26.Wednesday. Last night his family held a vigil where he was found.
:12:26. > :12:28.Three people arrested in connection with his death have been released
:12:28. > :12:32.without charge. 40 kilos of cocaine have been seized
:12:32. > :12:35.by Border Force officers in Dover after a cargo ship was searched at
:12:35. > :12:38.the port last week. The drugs which had a potential value running into
:12:38. > :12:48.millions of pounds were found on board a ship carrying bananas from

:12:53. > :12:57.Curaco. The owners of forward picked from Kent are celebrating her
:12:57. > :13:05.miraculous recovery. There is no record of an animal surviving such
:13:05. > :13:14.an ordeal before. She was taken for a walk when she became impaled on a
:13:14. > :13:17.stick that pierce through her heart. A punctured heart and the fighting
:13:17. > :13:26.spirit. When three-year-old Priscilla the whip it went for a
:13:26. > :13:30.walk near her home, she returned with life-threatening injuries.
:13:30. > :13:37.the way back, Priscilla let out a horrendous scream. She was running
:13:37. > :13:43.in the Woodlands and so we panicked, trying to see where she
:13:43. > :13:48.had got to. She came back to us. Under closer investigation, we went
:13:48. > :13:54.down to touch her and my father noticed she had split her chest and
:13:54. > :13:58.there was a big wind. Collapsed on the path, Priscilla was in clearly a
:13:58. > :14:02.bad state. Her owner was so controlling -- concerned that she
:14:02. > :14:10.would not make it to the out of hours veterinary practice that she
:14:10. > :14:14.watched her for miles away. She has had an astounding recovery. The
:14:14. > :14:21.wounds are still healing, but the most recent scan shows her heart
:14:21. > :14:27.appears to be virtually back to normal.
:14:27. > :14:31.This just approaching quarter to seven and this is our top story:
:14:31. > :14:36.Adverts for payday loan company should be banned in Medway towns
:14:36. > :14:40.according to an opposition councillor. Tristan council is also
:14:40. > :14:47.causing on Medway Council to block people from accessing the website in

:14:50. > :14:55.United by tragedy - how the Fishwives Choir came together in
:14:55. > :14:59.sussex to record their fundraising single.
:14:59. > :15:05.And if you are hoping to do stargazing tonight, good news, we
:15:05. > :15:15.have clear skies. If you have a story you think we
:15:15. > :15:22.
:15:22. > :15:25.should cover, we would like to hear Now, it has the spectacular backdrop
:15:25. > :15:28.of Ramsgate Harbour and a plethora of bars and restaurants in the town.
:15:28. > :15:32.Ramsgate Week, the annual sailing regatta of Royal Temple Yacht Club
:15:32. > :15:37.is truly the friendly alternative to Cowes Week.
:15:37. > :15:39.The regatta was launched in 1898. This year, 52 yachts are competing.
:15:39. > :15:49.Involving 600 competitors from across Europe as Peter Whittlesea
:15:49. > :15:52.
:15:52. > :15:58.reports. Yacht racing is competitive, so even before the
:15:58. > :16:04.regatta had begun, rivalry started. We are great friends and great
:16:04. > :16:10.rivals. They are both similar sized boats. It will be nip and tuck
:16:10. > :16:16.between the two of us. There are other people here, you know. Just
:16:16. > :16:21.enough to beat them, one second will do. I think we have nine crew today.
:16:21. > :16:26.As they take to the water, tactics are different. It is youth versus
:16:26. > :16:36.experience. With the race underway, the sea is calm, but the wind is
:16:36. > :16:39.
:16:39. > :16:43.light. We are in the lead at the moment. There are two races, the
:16:43. > :16:48.cruiser class going on inshore waters and out there are the fast
:16:48. > :16:56.boys, quite far out to sea. It is out here where local rivals
:16:56. > :17:01.are battling for position. Ex-waves with their younger crew
:17:01. > :17:06.were in the lead, but the letter were hot on their heels.
:17:06. > :17:11.These are the faster boats, but yacht racing is like golf. They are
:17:11. > :17:20.all handicapped so it is a level playing field. Today was very much
:17:20. > :17:27.warmer, with intermittent wind conditions costing crews places.
:17:27. > :17:32.have probably got, about, A1 and the two. Those conditions mean there

:18:16. > :18:26.motives for making this fundraising venture?
:18:26. > :18:27.
:18:27. > :18:32.They certainly do. They like to -- they don't want to only remind us of
:18:32. > :18:42.the perils out at the, they also want to revitalise part of a lost
:18:42. > :18:52.
:18:52. > :19:01.fishing culture, singing. Here is themselves fishwives and, in some
:19:01. > :19:06.cases, widows. It has helped a lot. It has made everyone more aware
:19:06. > :19:11.about what could happen at sea. I think everybody knows what could
:19:11. > :19:21.happen, but don't want to think about it. Hearing everyone's stories

:19:57. > :20:04.in awareness of how dangerous it is to be a fisherman. People don't
:20:04. > :20:14.realise the price paid for their fish and chips. They have chosen to

:22:29. > :22:38.Brighton 's first only game of the season could hardly have begun
:22:38. > :22:44.better. Ideal conditions and an early goal. However, it was not long
:22:44. > :22:47.before things went wrong. Chris Martin stabbed home an equaliser and
:22:47. > :22:54.moments into the second half, he struck again to leave the Albion 's

:22:59. > :23:06.to repeat their midweek cup win. It was middlebrow who grabbed the only
:23:06. > :23:11.goal midway through the second half. It is a 44 game season now and we
:23:11. > :23:17.have to look at it that way. 20 of points and a long way to go, but you
:23:17. > :23:22.breathe easier when you see points on the table. Chilling are looking
:23:22. > :23:28.for their first point and first goal and found themselves 3-0 at
:23:28. > :23:34.Wolverhampton by half-time. The home side added a fourth after the break,
:23:34. > :23:39.but the duelling boss refused to blame his defence. If anyone makes a
:23:39. > :23:43.mistake it is all of us, me included. Never put it down just two

:24:20. > :24:25.That is the good news, yes. We have clear skies, the only downside is it
:24:25. > :24:27.might be chilly. You can wrap up warm tonight.
:24:27. > :24:32.The cloud will clear and we have The cloud will clear and we have
:24:32. > :24:37.clear skies throughout the night, perfect. Gazing. The only thing is
:24:37. > :24:40.that temperatures will be cooler than recently, so wrapped up warm.
:24:40. > :24:46.The rest of the week will turn warm and muggy. We have warm front

:24:56. > :25:06.Temperatures not too bad, in the best of the brightness we have had

:25:19. > :25:26.cooler temperatures and recently. Lows of ten or 11 degrees, in rural
:25:26. > :25:31.spots, perhaps down to nine degrees. Lots of sunshine tomorrow. So we

:26:13. > :26:20.16 degrees. As you start the day, nothing too bad. A fairly decent
:26:20. > :26:25.morning. Why the afternoon, more cloud cover. Perhaps you would do
:26:25. > :26:31.well if you see highs of 20 or 21 degrees. Thursday, a warm front
:26:31. > :26:39.passage through. Rain to start the day but temperatures start to
:26:39. > :26:42.recover. Highs of around 23 degrees. A bright start on Friday. Cold by

:27:04. > :27:09.that some firms have been recruiting workers directly from countries with
