Good evening. Three men havd been arrested on suspicion of murder | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
following a fatal stabbing hn Kent. A 20`year`old man from London died | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
in Folkestone last night, after he was found in the street with stab | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
wounds. Charlie Rose joins us from the | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
scene. Police and forensic teams have been busy there throughout the | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
day, Charlie. Yes. Behind me is where the | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
20`year`old man was stabbed yesterday evening. Police tdams have | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
been coming and going all d`y as they try and piece together what | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
happened last night with essential forensic work. | :01:42. | :01:50. | |
Binns, pavements and cars. Police teams were leaving no stone | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
unturned. They searched for clues to help detectives piece together what | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
happened last night. The arda was cordoned off after a 20`year`old man | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
was found with stab wounds which proved fatal. Police were lhving # | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
or people living nearby witnessed the aftermath. I came out to see | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
what was going on. The police told me to go back in the house `nd lock | :02:20. | :02:28. | |
all the doors. This road is a nightmare. There is | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
always fights I heard on thd news it was a murder. | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
The victim was started betwden pm and 7:30pm. Fresh information from | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
the police has revealed that the victim was transported to a nearby | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
road pretty was cheated by `mbulance staff. Three men have since been | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
arrested. `` treated by ambtlance staff. | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
Does it surprise you this h`s happened to Mark not really I moved | :03:07. | :03:15. | |
down here from London. I do not want to detract from the great place that | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
the donors. At the moment many people hdre are | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
worried as police continue their search for clues. | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
Those three arrested men ard aged 18, 19, and 20. They are all from | :03:28. | :03:35. | |
the London area. The priority for detectives is to find out what they | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
were doing in Folkestone last night. The lease have been carrying out the | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
lease have been carrying out door`to`door enquiries to fhnd | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
people who may have seen wh`t has happened here. `` police have been | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
carrying out. Now some breaking news. Within the | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
last hour the Sports and Eqtalities Minister Helen Grant has cole under | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
fire for saying more women should be encouraged to take up sport by | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
participating in "feminine" activities. | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
The Kent MP told reporters that women worried about feeling | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
"unfeminine" should look at taking up ballet, gymnastics, cheerleading | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
or roller`skating. Our Political Editor Louise Stewart | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
is here in the studio. Louise, this is causing real controversy tonight. | :04:10. | :04:18. | |
The story has just broken. Ht is an interview she has given to the daily | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
Telegraph. There has been a huge reaction on social media. Is quoted | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
as saying there are some wonderful sport which you can do to a higher | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
level and that those partichpating look radiant and feminine. Ballet, | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
cheerleading, roller`skating. That has ignited a reaction. One reaction | :04:40. | :04:48. | |
is that it is wrong to suggdst that women get involved with sports to | :04:49. | :04:59. | |
look girly. Another view is that it is worrying that the sports and | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
equality minister with make these comments. Another response hs that | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
someone has never felt and feminine playing football. A bit of ` | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
reaction to this article. What is Helen Grant herself saying | :05:14. | :05:25. | |
about this? The one gold medal in Sochi has been | :05:26. | :05:34. | |
won by Lizzy Yarnold. The Mhnister said she was trying to say there is | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
a gender gap between boys and girls taking up sport and that nedds to be | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
closed. In a moment: Floodproofing xour home | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
does work says a family who were flooded repeatedly in the 90s ` but | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
escaped serious damage this time around. | :05:53. | :06:04. | |
More than 40 Church leaders ` including the Bishop of Rochester | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
and the Bishop of Chichester ` have signed an open letter condelning | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
Government welfare reforms. They claim "punitive" benefht | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
changes have left families suffering food and fuel poverty, forchng them | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
to choose to "heat or eat". And they say politicians have a | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
"moral imperative" to do more to control food prices and protect poor | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
people from hunger. But the Government has defended its welfare | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
changes ` with David Cameron saying ministers have a "moral mission to | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
return people to work from ` life of dependency on the state. | :06:34. | :06:42. | |
In the past welfare payments have gone up quicker than wages, the | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
people who actually paying for that system. That removes the incentive | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
for work and create huge discrepancies. It is right that the | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
government looks at helping everybody with the cost of living. | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
That means cutting taxes, not just bigger hand`outs for a select few. | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
Church leaders say the growth of food banks is evidence that more and | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
more families are unable to afford to eat. | :07:08. | :07:08. | |
According to the Trussell Trust charity, there are almost 400 food | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
banks across the UK. Last ydar they gave free food to over 346,000 | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
people including almost 127,000 children. | :07:16. | :07:26. | |
We get some very desperate stories. People do not want to admit the | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
position. . They are embarr`ssed or scared. They do not like thd idea of | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
coming to a food anchor that ultimately they need good food on | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
the table. The Bishop of Rochester, Jales | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
Langstaff, is one of 27 Anglican bishops who've signed the ldtter | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
urging the Government to take action. | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
It's unprecedented for so m`ny Church leaders to launch an attack | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
on the Government. Should it be the job of the Church to critichse | :07:55. | :08:02. | |
welfare policy? What we are concerned about is the | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
effect. We pick up to our congregations across the cotntry and | :08:07. | :08:16. | |
through organisations like the food banks what is going on on the | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
ground. The reality is that on the ground there are people who are | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
going without food. People `re finding themselves having to resort | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
to places like food banks. These are not necessarily people who `re | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
living on benefits 100%. Often they are people on low wages. | :08:34. | :08:44. | |
You want the Government to fund food banks, many of them backed by | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
Christian organisations, but shouldn't it be the role of the | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
Church to provide charity? It is that if government wants to | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
help one way is to make surd that food banks operate. At the loment | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
they rely on charity funds which is fine but one way which Church and | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
state can work together is by enabling this to happen. Already | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
government agencies refer pdople to food banks. They are making use of | :09:15. | :09:23. | |
them. The government says it will take | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
time to make the benefits sxstem more efficient. One of the results | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
of that should either it will have access to their benefits more | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
quickly and therefore access to more quickly. You must support that? The | :09:33. | :09:40. | |
fact that the benefits systdm needed reforming is not under just it. It | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
was incredibly complex. There were bits that worked against other bits. | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
Nobody could see their weekly. The desire to simplify the systdm is | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
laudable. If government can achieve its aims of our unified system that | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
would be great. But moving from one system to another is what c`uses | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
problems. One of the things we are concerned about are those pdople who | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
seem to be falling through some of the gaps while system is behng | :10:10. | :10:23. | |
changed. A former soldier from Kent who has | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
been given a life sentence hn Democratic Republic of Congo is the | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
victim of a judicial murder, according to his mother. Joshua | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
French, who grew up in Marg`te, has been convicted of killing hhs best | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
friend in prison. But legal experts say he's suffered a miscarrhage of | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
justice. The Foreign Office says it's "very concerned about his | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
welfare". And his mother believes he can't survive much longer in prison | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
there. John Young reports. Sentenced in an African courtroom to | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
life in prison on charges ddscribed by supporters today as absurd and | :10:48. | :10:56. | |
trumped up. His mother spokd to BBC radio Kent. It is very diffdrent to | :10:57. | :11:06. | |
what we find in the West. The prosecutor has been screaming at the | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
top of his voice, obscenitids, and abuse, everything you can think of. | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
It would never have been allowed in Western courts. I can only call this | :11:21. | :11:30. | |
court case judicial murder. It is not the first time Joshua | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
French has been sentenced in African court. An earlier hearing is he | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
shares the dock with the very friendly is now accused of killing. | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
In the first hearing is both men were sentenced to death aftdr a | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
driver was shot dead. The appeals. At a retrial of the convicthons and | :11:49. | :12:00. | |
detonated as were upheld. L`st August Tjostolv Moland was found | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
dead in his cell. Joshua Frdnch was found guilty. | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
The reason the earlier death sentences were not carried out is | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
that the Congo has currentlx suspended all death sentencds. That | :12:16. | :12:27. | |
may change. He has harmed hhmself. He has not been able to see a Dr. He | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
has not had the right medic`tion. The Foreign Office says it hs | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
monitoring the situation. Trade union leaders with thd GMB say | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
they're heading closer to a dispute with Medway Council over pl`ns for a | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
pay freeze for staff. The union says it's equivaldnt to an | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
18 per cent pay cut in real terms. But the council says the pl`ns being | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
voted on tonight to change salaries and pay grades will create ` fairer | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
system. A man who pointed a loaded gun at | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
Sussex Police officers has been jailed for six years. Nathan Martin, | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
who's 26, threatened to shoot officers sent to a disturbance at | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
his former girlfriend's house in Hailsham in October. | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
A man from Broadstairs has been given a ?100 fine for urinating on a | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
war memorial. David Skinner, who's 47, was charged with outraghng | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
public decency following thd incident in Margate last wedk. | :13:21. | :13:28. | |
A couple whose house was flooded four times in 14 months in the 990s | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
managed to hold back the water this winter, after taking action to | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
flood`proof their home. Sue and Gary Chalkley, from East Peckham near | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
Tonbridge, invested in plastic membranes around the property, pumps | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
and flood gates. Today the Government has announced | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
details of grants that will be available from April to help fund | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
similar flood protection work, as Peter Whittlesea reports. | :13:50. | :13:58. | |
Home owners who flooded in recent weeks will be keen to see the | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
details of the government rdpair grant. This was Sue Chalklex 's | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
house over Christmas. But bdcause of flood resilience measures she | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
escaped the water with neglhgible damage. This pet was dug out after | :14:13. | :14:31. | |
the second big flood. `` thhs bit. Elevated electrics were paid for by | :14:32. | :14:42. | |
the insurers. Investing in leasures to reduce the risk of being hit by | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
flooding and to minimise thd impact of flood can have is the wax | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
forward. If you do this it can be the difference between getthng | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
affordable insurance and not. We have got polythene that comds up to | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
here, goes down 18 inches and then 18 inches out. | :15:01. | :15:10. | |
They say all the flood meastres came to less than half the amount the | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
government is offering ten our grant so it is worth investigating. | :15:14. | :15:22. | |
It will save an awful lot of idle. There is nothing worse than having a | :15:23. | :15:30. | |
flood in your house. They urge others to look at flood | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
prevention measures. A court's heard evidence today from | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
a girl who says she was inappropriately touched by ` man who | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
was later found murdered on a beach on the Isle of Sheppey. It's alleged | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
a group of men lured Gary Pocock to the seafront to punish him for | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
assaulting the teenager. His badly beaten body was found in Lexsdown | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
last August. Four men and a teenage boy deny murder. Simon Jones is at | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
Maidstone Crown Court. Simon, the jury saw the girl's recorded video | :16:01. | :16:10. | |
evidence today. They saw several hours of footage. | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
It was recorded by the police in the days after the death of Garx | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
Pocock. The girl at times bdcomes visibly upset as she describes what | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
she says happened to her. Gary Pocock beaten to death with a | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
small bats amid claims he h`d molested girl the court has heard. | :16:31. | :16:45. | |
Today the jury saw footage of a girl who said she was touched by Gary | :16:46. | :16:52. | |
Pocock on four occasions. She would try to stop him. She told the police | :16:53. | :17:00. | |
the first time it happened she thought it might be like a bad team. | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
`` bad dream. have extremely overreacted when he | :17:07. | :17:22. | |
had heard about the girls claims and organised the death of Gary Pocock. | :17:23. | :17:35. | |
All the accused deny murder. The young girl said she first became | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
aware of body had been round dead on the beach when she came across it on | :17:43. | :17:52. | |
a ABC website. `` E BBC Kent website. | :17:53. | :18:02. | |
This is our top story tonight. Three men have been arrested after a | :18:03. | :18:13. | |
man was found dead in a strdet. And the option that spreads `` that | :18:14. | :18:25. | |
sheds light on Lewis Carroll 's And a postbox is sprayed gold | :18:26. | :18:36. | |
overnight. With a dramatic decline in wild | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
flower meadows and two of their species already extinct it's a bad | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
time to be a bumblebee. Now scientists are warning of a new | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
threat to the already beleaguered insects. Research carried ott in | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
Kent and Sussex has found that diseases carried by commerchal | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
honeybees are spilling over into wild bumblebee populations. Our | :18:52. | :18:52. | |
Environment Correspondent Yvette Austin has tonight's Special Report. | :18:53. | :19:02. | |
Foraging on a favourite flower at this nature reserve. In recdnt | :19:03. | :19:11. | |
decades their numbers have been in decline. Loss of habitat is a key | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
threat. New research suggests a parasite and apply this is `ffecting | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
them. The virus will make them deformed. They cannot fly. They | :19:26. | :19:32. | |
cannot forage for food. Bumblebees have small colony sizes. If some of | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
those workers buy it can affect the life of the colony. | :19:39. | :19:46. | |
The research was carried out by a university. Scientists have found | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
that the diseases are spillhng over N to the wild from honeybees. We are | :19:50. | :19:57. | |
concerned about this becausd bumblebees are in decline. They are | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
being impacted by a number of different threats. It is worrying | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
that there is a potential ndw direct. All of these things could | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
the acting together to drivd down wild populations. We need to think | :20:10. | :20:18. | |
about these potential threats. Experts are concerned. Our food | :20:19. | :20:26. | |
security relies on them. Thdre are three types of bees that pollinate | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
different crops and flowers. They start to decline the effecthveness | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
of pollination will decline as well. We may see the cost of our food | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
starting to rise. Experts are working on winnhng back | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
species that have been lost from the new day. | :20:49. | :20:59. | |
Charles Dodgson is most famous for creating the fantasy world of Alice | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
in Wonderland under the pen name of Lewis Carroll. But the Victorian | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
clergyman wasn't only interdsted in writing. | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
He also had a passion for photography and, it would sdem, the | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
Sussex seaside town of Eastbourne. Now a rare photo taken by Dodgson is | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
up for auction as Juliette Parkin reports. | :21:19. | :21:35. | |
Has literature has delighted adults and children alike for generations. | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
It has inspired many adaptations of his most famous work. A star`studded | :21:40. | :21:52. | |
cast paid homage to Lewis C`rroll's story in this blockbuster. | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
That he had another side. An intensely shy man who felt will | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
scamper double behind the ldns. `` who felt most comfortable bdhind the | :22:06. | :22:16. | |

creativity. It is not known how much involvement Lewis Carroll h`rd in | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
the taking of the photograph that it was believed to have been shot in a | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
studio in Eastbourne in the early 1880s. | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
It was the scene and fresh `ir that is true Lewis Carroll to Eastbourne | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
and inspired his keen interdst in photography. It became a favourite | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
holiday destination. He camd here so often that the town put up ` blue | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
plaque to mark where the author often stayed. | :22:48. | :23:02. | |
Lewis Carroll's stories havd made him world`famous, but it sedms it | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
was not what he wanted. Having his name identified leets | :23:06. | :23:16. | |
Helen pointed out by strangdrs. `` identified led him to be pohnted out | :23:17. | :23:18. | |
by strangers. Designed to evil memories of the | :23:19. | :23:31. | |
seafront that he loved, the photograph goes on sale next month. | :23:32. | :23:47. | |

The Royal Mail came in for ` bit of stick earlier this week, for saying | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
they had no plans to create a golden postbox in West Kingsdown, the home | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
village of our winter Olymphc champion Lizzy Yarnold. Well, | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
they're going to have to do something about it now ` because a | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
person, or persons, unknown have gone and spray painted a postbox | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
there gold overnight. Vandalism Or well meant direct action? Ndil Bell | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
has the story update. This is probably not the | :24:18. | :24:19. | |
transformation that the loc`ls were hoping for. | :24:20. | :24:20. | |
Local residents are being encouraged to use this box to send thehr | :24:21. | :24:30. | |
congratulations to Lizzy Yarnold. It has had ten letters postdd. It is | :24:31. | :24:34. | |

idea. And there is support on sochal | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
media. official paint job was mixed. What | :25:05. | :25:30. | |
do you think? Royal Mail should be ashamed. They should hang their | :25:31. | :25:43. | |
heads in shame. This box will move around the | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
village for the next couple of weeks before being presented to Lhzzy | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
Yarnold. There's gold postbox looks set to be | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
