:02:00. > :02:04.Today, officers and friends six staff have come in and out of the
:02:05. > :02:09.flat as the search for clues goes on. This area has become solething
:02:10. > :02:15.of a focal point for the colmunity, as they try to come to terms with
:02:16. > :02:21.the crime with two teenagers at its core. Elizabeth Thomas was 07, a

:02:37. > :02:41.grandchildren at her school. It is sad. Tragic that two young people,
:02:42. > :02:52.one who has lost their life, and I am afraid... It is just terrible.
:02:53. > :02:58.Very sad. Jessica was a forler pupil at Oxted School where Elizabeth

:03:06. > :03:09.I might not have known who ht happened to but it is respectful to

:03:21. > :03:25.Probably a lot of people upstairs are wondering if they are s`fe in
:03:26. > :03:34.their own home. Students were told of the tragedy this morning. An
:03:35. > :03:38.assembly was held as news w`s broken to children. Counsellors were on
:03:39. > :03:42.hand to offer support. The headteacher said they were deeply

:03:48. > :03:52.For those students trying to come to terms with sadness and loss, the

:04:04. > :04:10.detectives will want answerhng and one of those involves Elizabeth and
:04:11. > :04:16.her movements. They will ask what she was doing in Oxted on a Friday
:04:17. > :04:20.night during a school week when she lives in West Wycombe. Was she, as
:04:21. > :04:25.some have suggested, living here while going to school locally, or
:04:26. > :04:32.commuting from home? They whll seek to establish that. The other person
:04:33. > :04:38.involved is a 16`year`old boy. Do we have any more information about
:04:39. > :04:43.Tim? As a 16`year`old, he is granted, by law, anonymity. We
:04:44. > :04:49.cannot reveal his name. We know he is being held at a secure hospital.
:04:50. > :04:56.As and when police will be `ble to question him, we do not know. The
:04:57. > :04:59.Medway Maritime Hospital, which has been put into special measures
:05:00. > :05:02.because of high patient death rates, has tonight apologised after it was
:05:03. > :05:05.revealed that the accident `nd emergency department ran out of
:05:06. > :05:08.space to treat patients earlier this month. The problems led the clinical
:05:09. > :05:12.director to consider the department unsafe. The hospital has now
:05:13. > :05:17.announced a ?5 million redesign to try to make radical improvelents.
:05:18. > :05:24.Simon Jones reports. Under pressure. On the 4th of

:05:32. > :06:01.patients arrived needing a BDA care with no available spaces in this

:06:28. > :06:31.40 commission made in and announced inspection of AMD. It has it has
:06:32. > :06:38.been a poor experience to rdcognise that. We have been trying to improve
:06:39. > :06:40.the safety for our patients. Can you guarantee the assay? Absolutely We
:06:41. > :06:52.have more doctors and nurses then next year. There it is currdntly
:06:53. > :06:56.dealing with 90,000, and th`t number is rising. Today, the trust said it
:06:57. > :07:03.would spend ?5 million reorganising and extending AMD to providd a much
:07:04. > :07:05.better service. I went round the Casualty department last Wednesday,
:07:06. > :07:09.and it is still very camp, dven though there is a new units were
:07:10. > :07:13.receiving patients. I can understand where that money needs to bd spent,
:07:14. > :07:20.and I think 5 million it's partly the least of it. Key sections are
:07:21. > :07:25.due to be completed by next winter. Simon Jones is live for us now.
:07:26. > :07:27.Simon, when is the Care Quality Commission going to report back on
:07:28. > :07:37.the progress that the hospital has been making? They are due to report
:07:38. > :07:41.back in a matter of weeks. This inspection was not announced, it
:07:42. > :07:45.looks at cleanliness and care of patients. It took place on New
:07:46. > :07:51.Year's Eve. The hospital sahd it was very busy and they say candhdly it
:07:52. > :07:55.has been a difficult winter. They are bracing themselves for further
:07:56. > :08:01.criticism. They are keen to stress death rates are coming down and the
:08:02. > :08:07.number of nurses and consultants is going up and they say that come next
:08:08. > :08:14.winter, A will look different in terms of structure and the treatment
:08:15. > :08:18.of patients. Coming up in a moment. Kent's politicians go to Westmisnter
:08:19. > :08:28.to press for more cash for the the clean`up. East Sussex Countx Council
:08:29. > :08:31.is looking at plans to cut lore than a 100 jobs, cut front`line services,
:08:32. > :08:37.and increase council tax. Along the proposals it's looking at is putting

:08:58. > :09:03.council tax. It is considerhng spending less on some services and
:09:04. > :09:07.some jobs may go. We do not want to raise council tax more than we need
:09:08. > :09:13.to. We would be lies hard`pressed people have suffered enough. The
:09:14. > :09:18.simple fact is they also nedd public services they can be proud of and
:09:19. > :09:22.that do the job. The county council is thinking of putting up council
:09:23. > :09:26.that do the job. The county council is thinking of putting tax by 1 45%,
:09:27. > :09:33.or 1.95%, although it stresses it might also be frozen. The tween 100
:09:34. > :09:42.and 150 jobs could be cut. Ht is considering cuts to departmdnts In
:09:43. > :09:48.those departments spending light be down 7%. The council is thinking of

:10:05. > :10:08.good job keeping it down thd four years but in these days of
:10:09. > :10:14.austerity, though thank you. 2% will not make much difference. Lhke
:10:15. > :10:21.everything, everything goes up. I hope they do not, or I will be

:12:16. > :12:17.for more money to help with the clean`up after last month's
:12:18. > :12:20.devastating floods. Although an emergency fund has been set up, Paul
:12:21. > :12:31.Carter told the Floods Minister Brandon Lewis it is not enotgh.
:12:32. > :12:37.Local government is taking ` massive cut in its grant to fund local
:12:38. > :12:41.government services. And exceptional additional expenses beyond our
:12:42. > :12:45.control is difficult to handle in difficult times, which is why we
:12:46. > :12:50.expect the government to be pragmatic. It's estimated the cost
:12:51. > :12:53.of the floods in the South Dast could be close to ?100 millhon. The
:12:54. > :13:02.government has made ?7 millhon available to affected counchls to
:13:03. > :13:05.help cover those costs. But on Friday, residents in Yalding ` one
:13:06. > :13:09.of the worst`affected places in the country ` called for ?50 million to
:13:10. > :13:13.be spent on protecting their village in future. The government s`ys it is
:13:14. > :13:16.confident it is doing enough to help with the clean`up operation. I think
:13:17. > :13:21.there is a good package of support put in place but as I have said to
:13:22. > :13:24.authorities, if they have something that is different, to talk to us and
:13:25. > :13:29.I have no doubt they will do that for their community should they need
:13:30. > :13:33.to. Our political reporter has followed this story. Is this likely
:13:34. > :13:39.to escalate into a row betwden the government and local councils? Not
:13:40. > :13:44.yet, I am told the meeting was attended by people listening to each
:13:45. > :13:50.other and learning lessons. There were representatives from
:13:51. > :13:55.councils in Kent, such as from areas such as Tom Bridge. The councils are
:13:56. > :14:00.not paying for all the clean`up but the parts they are responsible for
:14:01. > :14:04.will cost them. And Paul Carter said it comes at a time when budgets are
:14:05. > :14:09.squeezed. He wants it to be easier to claim money from the emergency
:14:10. > :14:14.fund. He said the extra ?7 lillion, while welcome, he said it whll not
:14:15. > :14:18.cover all of it. The ministdr said he will go away and think about it.
:14:19. > :14:22.But this has the potential to get nasty councils think they are
:14:23. > :14:29.picking up a disproportionate amount of the bill. Councils from Surrey
:14:30. > :14:33.and Sussex will also have shmilar meetings with the Floods Minister
:14:34. > :14:39.within the next few weeks to voice their concerns. The top story. A

:18:49. > :18:52.is very important that we also remember that similar things have

:19:25. > :19:29.Tonight, we will be reflecthng on Sudan and the situation happening

:23:26. > :23:32.Church. He finished with pinpoint accuracy. They travelled to

:24:01. > :24:06.to go, the home side went ldvel The celebration showed just what it
:24:07. > :24:11.meant. The weather was a bit fruitx at the

:24:21. > :24:25.There were cats thrown into the air, but not in our region. We have

:25:37. > :25:43.Temperatures are not too bad for the time of the year. The wind hs not
