Welcome to South East Today, I'm Rob Smith. I'm Natalie Graham. Tonight's

:00:09.:00:12.

top stories: Jailed for fracturing his newborn baby's skull ` the Kent

:00:13.:00:16.

man who had previously assaulted a four`month`old girl.

:00:17.:00:25.

This is a three`week`old child who is skull has barely formed. This

:00:26.:00:32.

could easily have been a murder. Cover up ` the Sussex MP demanding

:00:33.:00:35.

action against lads' mags on supermarket shelves. We're live in

:00:36.:00:38.

Hove with the story. Also in tonight's programme: The

:00:39.:00:40.

miracle escape of the toddler crushed against a wall by a car, but

:00:41.:00:46.

suffering only minor injuries. The second coming of Peter Taylor `

:00:47.:00:49.

unveiled as Gillingham's manager following the shock departure of

:00:50.:00:52.

Martin Allen. Hello, girls! The T`shirt designed

:00:53.:00:56.

to give everyman a six`pack and the Chatham businessman who has

:00:57.:00:57.

developed it. Good evening.

:00:58.:01:13.

A Kent father who fractured the skull of his newborn son has been

:01:14.:01:16.

sentenced to seven years in prison. Brian Calcutt, from Maidstone, was

:01:17.:01:19.

found guilty of Grievous Bodily Harm with Intent on his 25`day`old son,

:01:20.:01:25.

Logan. The boy, who has now recovered, suffered bleeding on the

:01:26.:01:28.

brain consistent with being hit with force. Calcutt had a previous

:01:29.:01:33.

history of child abuse after being found guilty of assaulting a

:01:34.:01:35.

four`month`old girl in 1999. Fiona Irving reports.

:01:36.:01:42.

His son could not have been more honourable. Ryan cult cut was

:01:43.:01:48.

looking after his newborn when he lost his temper. He hit him with

:01:49.:01:54.

such force that he fractured his skull and cars leading on his

:01:55.:01:59.

breathing. This is a three`week`old child who skull had barely formed.

:02:00.:02:07.

Quite easily this could have been a murder. I am pleased to say the

:02:08.:02:13.

child has made good progress, but it could have been such a different

:02:14.:02:14.

story. The judge said: Brian Calcutt had a previous

:02:15.:02:42.

conviction for assaulting a four `month`old girl in 1999. In that

:02:43.:02:48.

case he give the baby black eyes and bruising and Deborah finger marks

:02:49.:02:51.

around your neck. The judge said he believed he posed a significant risk

:02:52.:02:57.

to children. Social services are under the Spotlight at the moment

:02:58.:03:00.

after chapters were missed to help young Daniel P. A serious case

:03:01.:03:11.

review is also under way after this child was killed by his mother in

:03:12.:03:21.

Bradford. Logan was not known to the social services. They can only work

:03:22.:03:30.

with people when an issue has been raised and is a concern. It would be

:03:31.:03:34.

reasonable for children's services to come knocking on doors just to

:03:35.:03:41.

see if people had had families. They don't have the resources to do that

:03:42.:03:45.

in any case. Logan has made a full recovery. His father, he was trusted

:03:46.:03:51.

to look after his son, is now beginning his seven`year sentence.

:03:52.:03:56.

So called lads' mags should be covered up on supermarket shelves in

:03:57.:03:59.

a bid to combat growing aggression and violence towards women,

:04:00.:04:01.

according to the Sussex MP Caroline Lucas. The magazines, such as Nuts,

:04:02.:04:06.

Zoo and Loaded, often feature models in bikinis on their cover. In a

:04:07.:04:12.

Commons debate tomorrow, Caroline Lucas will call

:04:13.:04:14.

take action against the magazines. Rebecca Williams is in Hove for us

:04:15.:04:19.

now. Rebecca, her campaign is gaining some momentum? That's right.

:04:20.:04:29.

Three of the so`called lads mag publishers had agreed to tone down

:04:30.:04:32.

the images that the use and the magazines. Tesco's says they will be

:04:33.:04:37.

selling a `` selling them to anyone under eight team. Lads mags have

:04:38.:04:50.

existed for decades. Three of them have now agreed to produce more

:04:51.:04:56.

modest covers. Campaigners say that doesn't go far enough. It gives a

:04:57.:05:01.

message to people that this sexualisation of women is normal and

:05:02.:05:05.

acceptable. There is a link between that kind of attitude to women and a

:05:06.:05:09.

range of other issues around aggression to women, violence to

:05:10.:05:18.

women. Following a recent campaign, Tesco has said it will not display

:05:19.:05:23.

lads mags on the top shelf three can only see their title. Plans to tone

:05:24.:05:28.

down magazine content have received a mixed reaction in Brighton. If

:05:29.:05:32.

they banned them it would be stupid, really. I don't think they

:05:33.:05:40.

should be banned, but maybe have a bit more information rather than

:05:41.:05:44.

just eight years. I think they should be covered up. Out of the

:05:45.:05:51.

view of children. Back in June Caroline Lucas was reprimanded for

:05:52.:05:54.

wearing this T`shirt during a parliamentary debates. It was part

:05:55.:05:58.

of the campaign to ban Page three models. Now she has turned attention

:05:59.:06:04.

to family friendly retailers who she thinks should look again at how they

:06:05.:06:08.

market these magazines. If they really want to be family friendly

:06:09.:06:13.

retailers we do need to have this in places like Tesco's. They are

:06:14.:06:18.

regulated by their staff, their publishers and the people who sell

:06:19.:06:23.

them, the supermarkets and retailers like WH Smith. There are closely

:06:24.:06:28.

monitored and everyone is happy apart from our small group of

:06:29.:06:33.

fundamental `` fundamentalist feminist. This decision today by

:06:34.:06:42.

Tesco's follows an announcement either cooperative supermarkets.

:06:43.:06:47.

They told the publishers of these magazines to put them into sealed

:06:48.:06:51.

rights they would be taken off the jails. Jodie Marsh has criticised

:06:52.:06:59.

the lads mag campaign, saying it is hypocritical, saying they were good

:07:00.:07:04.

fun and it is only snobs that have a problem with them.

:07:05.:07:08.

In a moment, China crisis? The Kent apple`grower whose unique twist on

:07:09.:07:09.

snacks are pirated in the Far East. Greenpeace is planning a legal

:07:10.:07:19.

challenge against fracking in the hope that it will put an end to the

:07:20.:07:23.

controversial method of extracting gas from rock. The campaign group

:07:24.:07:27.

said it was hoping to set`up a series of no`go areas across

:07:28.:07:29.

England. A Government review has concluded fracking is safe if

:07:30.:07:35.

adequately monitored. Anti`fracking protests were held in the summer in

:07:36.:07:38.

the West Sussex village of Balcombe, from where our correspondent Paul

:07:39.:07:46.

Siegert reports. The rates wire security are still

:07:47.:07:52.

here. This site in bulk is now pretty much deserted. If Greenpeace

:07:53.:07:57.

gets the airway, that aside will stay. They are moving to the courts

:07:58.:08:01.

to try to stop fracking. They want to stop fracking companies being

:08:02.:08:10.

able to drill without permission. We need to have skipped the conditions

:08:11.:08:13.

are therefore safe racking. There are numerous reports from America

:08:14.:08:17.

centre have been issues and problems with the hazards from fracking.

:08:18.:08:24.

There is no need for Greenpeace did take any legal action. The law is

:08:25.:08:29.

clear that if you own your home you own the land on which your home sits

:08:30.:08:35.

and that goes a long way down. That is not the end of the story. If you

:08:36.:08:39.

could stop people drilling and do your home, there would be no

:08:40.:08:42.

underground trains running in London, no coalmines, no gas pipes.

:08:43.:08:51.

A government review has said that fracking is safe. Anti`fracking

:08:52.:08:57.

protesters set up camp in bulk in July, delaying the drilling. At the

:08:58.:09:01.

end of September the company left the sites. Today, Greenpeace

:09:02.:09:07.

launched a legal challenge against fracking. Today there are just a

:09:08.:09:15.

handful of campaigners still on site as the protest turned into a vigil.

:09:16.:09:20.

Though still here welcomed the news. It is brilliant news. You need some

:09:21.:09:29.

day with a bit of muscle to challenge the government so it is

:09:30.:09:33.

good to have them on board. As a resident I feel very strongly

:09:34.:09:37.

against any sort of fracking. I am worried about the health of their

:09:38.:09:41.

children, the environment. I am delighted some of up to them.

:09:42.:09:45.

Although the company have pulled out of the site, Greenpeace will be

:09:46.:09:50.

hoping that if the legal action is successful than the company return.

:09:51.:09:54.

They will also be hoping that the government follows the French

:09:55.:09:58.

government which has put in a complete and on fracking. `` ban on

:09:59.:10:07.

fracking. Over 3,500 children aged 17 and

:10:08.:10:10.

under were held overnight in police cells across the South East last

:10:11.:10:13.

year. A report from the Howard League for Penal Reform showed that

:10:14.:10:17.

most of those were in Kent, where an average of 38 children were detained

:10:18.:10:20.

every week in 2011. Sussex Police held over 1,5000 under`18s. The Kent

:10:21.:10:23.

force says more recent figures show the number of detained children is

:10:24.:10:27.

falling. Sussex police say the action they take on young people is

:10:28.:10:33.

always proportionate to the offence. Police have increased night`time

:10:34.:10:36.

patrols after reports of a man wearing a horror mask causing alarm

:10:37.:10:43.

in Canterbury. Female students said they had been approached and in some

:10:44.:10:46.

cases, followed and grabbed by a suspicious man. Extra plain`clothed

:10:47.:10:49.

and uniformed officers are being deployed around Christ Church

:10:50.:10:51.

University and the City Centre. Two children narrowly escaped death

:10:52.:10:54.

this morning when a buggy was crushed against a wall by a car. It

:10:55.:10:59.

happened in Gravesend. The children, one described as a toddler, were

:11:00.:11:02.

rushed to hospital after the incident which involved two cars,

:11:03.:11:05.

but, amazingly, they only suffered minor injuries. Wel,l let's cross

:11:06.:11:10.

live to the scene and speak to our reporter Simon Jones. Simon, what

:11:11.:11:51.

more do we know? The buggy was squeezed in between the wall and the

:11:52.:11:55.

back of the car. The lady who was pushing the buggy

:11:56.:11:58.

to kick the buggy as the car had come in and she managed to make the

:11:59.:12:05.

buggy not get as it would have done. How are the children doing this

:12:06.:12:14.

evening? They have now been released from hospital. I understand the

:12:15.:12:20.

toddler suffered a bump to the back of the head. I spoke to one of the

:12:21.:12:25.

drivers involved. He said he was simply relieved that no one had been

:12:26.:12:31.

killed. He was here did this afternoon as his vehicle was being

:12:32.:12:36.

towed away. Neighbours have described this as a very dangerous

:12:37.:12:40.

junction and they want action taken to try to prevent anything like this

:12:41.:12:43.

happening again. This is our top story tonight: A man

:12:44.:12:47.

from Kent who fractured the skull of his newborn son had a previous

:12:48.:12:50.

conviction for assaulting a four`month`old girl. Brian Calcutt

:12:51.:12:54.

was jailed for seven years at Maidstone Crown Court. He was found

:12:55.:12:57.

guilty of Grievous Bodily Harm against his 25`day`old son, Logan,

:12:58.:13:00.

who has now recovered from his injuries.

:13:01.:13:05.

Also in tonight's programme: The greatest collection of dodo

:13:06.:13:08.

memorabilia in the world in a home in Battle.

:13:09.:13:17.

Tomorrow looks much drier and brighter, but the rain isn't quite

:13:18.:13:24.

done with us yet. Join mediator with the full forecast.

:13:25.:13:28.

If you have a story you think we should be covering on South East

:13:29.:13:34.

Today, we'd like to hear from you. You can call us, send us an email,

:13:35.:13:38.

we are on Facebook or you can tweet us.

:13:39.:13:46.

Last year we brought you the story of a Kent fruit farm which, instead

:13:47.:13:51.

of selling its produce to supermarkets in the UK, was choosing

:13:52.:13:55.

to sell abroad. Perry Court Farm in Ashford now sells their air`dried

:13:56.:13:58.

fruit crisps around the world and, as part of the BBC's week examining

:13:59.:14:01.

our trade with China, Alex Beard looks at how that business decision

:14:02.:14:11.

is working out for the company. Tapping into the emerging Chinese

:14:12.:14:16.

market with an air dried apple crisp. This is a Bramley apple. It

:14:17.:14:23.

has a bit of a bike to it. This is our biggest seller in China at the

:14:24.:14:30.

moment. Charlie has sold internationally. Exporting to China

:14:31.:14:34.

has proven profitable. It wasn't long before his recipe was copied. I

:14:35.:14:40.

am not that naive. I always thought there was a chance somebody could

:14:41.:14:45.

come along and do something similar. I was surprised by the speed of it.

:14:46.:14:49.

Within a couple of months, Chinese apple crisps were coming back over

:14:50.:14:55.

to the UK, which is surprising. They can really get things done quickly.

:14:56.:15:00.

The British equivalent is still in demand and this farm shift 150,000

:15:01.:15:07.

bags to China every few months. It is business deals like that of the

:15:08.:15:10.

Chancellor is trying to promote on his current tour. I want Britain and

:15:11.:15:20.

China to take a big step together. It will be great for jobs and

:15:21.:15:24.

investment in Britain, which is my primary responsibility. China is the

:15:25.:15:30.

world 's biggest importer. The British apple crisp died only make

:15:31.:15:35.

up a tiny fraction of this, but for Terry Court farm it is helping to

:15:36.:15:41.

expand. Charlie said it was a steep learning curve, but it has given him

:15:42.:15:43.

the confidence to start negotiating with retailers back on home soil.

Peter Taylor has been announced as the interim manager of Gillingham

:16:07.:16:11.

Football Club, following the shock termination of Martin Allen's

:16:12.:16:16.

contract last night. The Gills have had a poor start to the season,

:16:17.:16:20.

failing to win any of their first ten games. It marks a dramatic

:16:21.:16:23.

return for Peter Taylor, who oversaw Gillingham's first`ever promotion to

:16:24.:16:26.

the second tier of league football back in 2,000. Our sports reporter

:16:27.:16:34.

Neil Bell has more. There are a few people in football

:16:35.:16:38.

with more experience than Peter Taylor. An accomplished player, he

:16:39.:16:42.

has coached and managed a wide variety of teams often with success.

:16:43.:16:49.

He died in Chillingham into The Championship in 2,000. Two years

:16:50.:16:52.

later he led Brighton to promotion. He is in dude disappointing spells

:16:53.:16:58.

at Bradford and Barry. He replaced Martin Allen. He was unable to

:16:59.:17:07.

replicate a success of last season. Following the defeat on Saturday,

:17:08.:17:10.

the German decided of change was necessary. It is one of the most

:17:11.:17:17.

difficult positions I have had to make in football. It was a very

:17:18.:17:23.

difficult day for me yesterday. I think the problem is we have been

:17:24.:17:28.

watching closely how the team has been performing and the spirit

:17:29.:17:34.

around about the, and I don't think it was a happy dressing room and I

:17:35.:17:40.

didn't see much improvement. Because of hishis%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%his%%%%%%%

:17:41.:17:41.

didn't see much improvement. Because of his popularity, not all fans

:17:42.:17:44.

believe that Peter Taylor is the right choice. He inherited a

:17:45.:17:53.

brilliant team. A lot of the credits sugar down to that the inherited

:17:54.:17:58.

team. Since then he has had a mixed record at different clubs around the

:17:59.:18:02.

world. I think most telling fans they did was a brilliant spell, but

:18:03.:18:06.

they do want to spoil the memory of that. Martin Allen Pozner brief

:18:07.:18:12.

spell was rarely dull. His successor will bring a much more calm approach

:18:13.:18:16.

to the job. Well, Neil Bell joins us from

:18:17.:18:19.

Chatham. They do say in football never go back and this is the second

:18:20.:18:23.

time Paul Scally has looked for a familiar face as his manager. What

:18:24.:18:31.

goes around comes around. I think the chairman is looking for a period

:18:32.:18:37.

of stability after a Martin Allen Pozner front foot forward approach

:18:38.:18:41.

to the job. Five of the next seven games are at home. Peter Taylor is a

:18:42.:18:49.

safe pair of hands for what could be an awkward period for the club.

:18:50.:18:58.

Maybe history will repeat itself! There has been good news for a

:18:59.:19:02.

number of the South East's top athletes today, but disappointment

:19:03.:19:04.

for a former World Championship medalist. Dartford sprinter Adam

:19:05.:19:11.

Gemilli, who continued the fine form he showed at last year's Olympics,

:19:12.:19:14.

receives the top level of funding for the next year. Despite a poor

:19:15.:19:17.

season, Canterbury's 400 metres specialist Jack Green will get relay

:19:18.:19:20.

funding, but, after almost a decade at the top, middle distance runner

:19:21.:19:23.

Lisa Dobriskey misses out after battling with injury and illness.

:19:24.:19:28.

The dodo is, famously, dead. The large flightless bird was discovered

:19:29.:19:31.

on the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius in the 16th century. It

:19:32.:19:34.

took its name from the Portuguese word for fool, mocked by European

:19:35.:19:38.

colonialists for its apparent lack of fear of man. Within 100 years the

:19:39.:19:41.

dodo had been hunted to extinction. But while it has gone, it is

:19:42.:19:44.

certainly not forgotten, especially by Ralph Whistler, who has spent

:19:45.:19:47.

decades amassing the worlds largest collection of dodo art and

:19:48.:19:50.

memorabilia at his home in Battle. Juliette Parkin has more.

:19:51.:20:11.

Deep in the heart of Sussex, the world 's biggest shrine to her dead

:20:12.:20:24.

bird, the Dudu. `` Dudu. It is fun. It rings a smile to most people. If

:20:25.:20:31.

you are a collector you like to collect almost anything. . I am very

:20:32.:20:42.

fond of that little one down there, which I got in a London art fair.

:20:43.:20:52.

This is a macro to. It is a lonesome road. The macro to remains a source

:20:53.:21:02.

of fascination for most pages. This animation instead teach a younger

:21:03.:21:11.

audience about indigenous species. Sadly, all the remains of this bird

:21:12.:21:26.

is our expose. These are bones from Mauritius. They are one of the few

:21:27.:21:35.

remaining debts of the accrued two left in the world. If only the

:21:36.:21:42.

ill`fated macro to have fled here. With 800 tributes, it is certainly

:21:43.:21:50.

not forgotten here! A magnificent obsession.

:21:51.:21:56.

Now we know full well that men can compete with women when it comes to

:21:57.:22:00.

being vain. For those of us who feel there might be room for improvement,

:22:01.:22:03.

there's good news. Thanks to Ash Bhunnoo, a businessman from Chatham,

:22:04.:22:06.

you can now buy a Funkybod Muscle Top. It's a bra for men, designed to

:22:07.:22:14.

disguise your moobs, or man boobs, and enhance your torso. Ian Palmer

:22:15.:22:21.

has been finding out more. It is called the funky body T`shirt.

:22:22.:22:27.

It gives the wearer the appearance of a Welton body. My friend is ten

:22:28.:22:35.

times the size of me and he has got one. The T`shirt is the brainchild

:22:36.:22:47.

of Ash Bhunnoo. Hundreds of people about the product online. 90% of our

:22:48.:22:54.

sales are in the USA. Recently we have been selling quite a lot to

:22:55.:23:01.

around Europe. Neither it seems that China, mainly Hong Kong, have caught

:23:02.:23:06.

onto the products and it is selling really well out there. We took the

:23:07.:23:12.

T`shirt onto the High Street. It feels like I am beefed up. It is

:23:13.:23:20.

good. That is the seething girls. I don't like to deceive girls. You can

:23:21.:23:34.

look like that, or not, it is fine. It looks like I have been going to

:23:35.:23:43.

the gym. I much of those? ?30. That is a bit excessive! If your man

:23:44.:23:50.

boobs need a lift, help is out there. Remember to break yourself

:23:51.:23:55.

with the potential look of disappointment when you take off the

:23:56.:24:06.

garments! `` brace yourself. I'm not wearing one!

:24:07.:24:17.

There is some more rain in the forecast, I'm afraid. Earlier today

:24:18.:24:26.

there was quite a bit of cloud cover and with that some heavy showers

:24:27.:24:30.

around as well. Temperatures are not too bad for the time of year. Still

:24:31.:24:40.
