:01:16. > :01:18.Her daughter was stabbed to death in front of her children by her
:01:19. > :01:21.estranged husband. Tonight, the mother of a murdered Sussex woman is
:01:22. > :01:25.calling for a public inquirx into how cases of domestic violence are
:01:26. > :01:30.handled. Cassandra Hasanovic was killed by
:01:31. > :01:33.her husband Hajrudin in 2008. An inquest found Sussex Polhce and
:01:34. > :01:39.the CPS failed to take appropriate steps to safeguard her life. And
:01:40. > :01:41.today, Cassandra's mother Sharon De Souza, along with the domestic
:01:42. > :01:44.violence charity Refuge, sax more women will be murdered becatse
:01:45. > :01:53.they're not getting the protection they're entitled to. Ellie Price
:01:54. > :02:00.reports. The police had been asked bx myself
:02:01. > :02:03.and my daughter for an escort. She was just desperate to get to the
:02:04. > :02:10.safety of the refuge. Sussex police did not send that escort. C`ssandra
:02:11. > :02:15.was dragged out of her mothdr's car and stabbed in front of her two
:02:16. > :02:24.small children. I was the one taking her to the refuge so... I h`ve to
:02:25. > :02:30.live with myself also. Becatse she did not survive that day. It was
:02:31. > :02:35.like a nightmare and obviously, her to release more children, two and
:02:36. > :02:41.four years old, to experience that as well, you know, it was jtst the
:02:42. > :02:44.most terrifying situation. Cassandra's mother believes her
:02:45. > :02:49.daughter's murder was preventable and she wants a full public inquiry.
:02:50. > :02:53.Yesterday, a coroner critichsed police and the crimpers occ`sion

:03:01. > :03:04.We have learned lessons in terms with doing with reports of domestic
:03:05. > :03:06.abuse. Our main priority is to protect life and prevent thdse
:03:07. > :03:13.grounds from happening. Criles like this do keep happening. Reftge says
:03:14. > :03:18.two women are killed every week by current or former partners hn
:03:19. > :03:24.England and Wales. As a charity the support 3000 women and children on
:03:25. > :03:26.any given day. So far, more than 18,700 people have survived a
:03:27. > :03:32.petition in support of Cass`ndra's family, calling on the Government to
:03:33. > :03:35.open a public inquiry. Therd is mounting evidence to suggest that
:03:36. > :03:40.women and children are simply not getting the protection that they are
:03:41. > :03:44.entitled to. Enough is enough. We need the police and CPS and other
:03:45. > :03:47.state agencies to respond appropriately. Had any of those
:03:48. > :03:51.agencies taken a step to help her, she might well be alive tod`y.
:03:52. > :03:56.Sharon says she will not dwdll on that but will instead campahgn in
:03:57. > :04:01.the name of her daughter. H`d she had the chance to live, she would
:04:02. > :04:05.have already discussed with me `` she had already discussed whth me
:04:06. > :04:08.that she wanted to help othdr women with similar experiences and I do
:04:09. > :04:11.know that it is something she would want me to do for her and other
:04:12. > :04:15.woman. A huge 30`foot crack has appeared
:04:16. > :04:19.along the cliff top at Birlhng Gap in East Sussex. It comes just a week
:04:20. > :04:21.after the National Trust revealed the popular coastal attracthon has
:04:22. > :04:26.suffered seven years worth of erosion in just two months.
:04:27. > :04:29.Walkers have been warned to keep away from the cliff edge and the
:04:30. > :04:33.beach remains shut after thd steps leading down to it were dam`ged in
:04:34. > :04:37.the storms at New Year. Our environment correspondent Yvette
:04:38. > :04:41.Austin reports. The ground is simply breaking away.
:04:42. > :04:45.Another section of chalk on our coastline destined to fall. This
:04:46. > :04:49.year's wet winter has caused coastal erosion at Birling Gap to speed up
:04:50. > :04:56.to a level people here think is unprecedented. Rainfall is probably
:04:57. > :05:00.the biggest trigger. It's going into the rock. It's weakening thd rock.
:05:01. > :05:06.We know that chalk reduces hn strength, this will mean solething
:05:07. > :05:09.to everyone, by about 500%. The strength of the rock is weakened by
:05:10. > :05:15.actually having rainfall and water in it. Our isle has been shrinking
:05:16. > :05:20.significantly this winter. Cliff falls like this one at Hasthngs are
:05:21. > :05:25.not uncommon. At Birling Gap, up to five metres has been lost in just
:05:26. > :05:28.two months. We have taken down the section of the cafe, the sun lounge
:05:29. > :05:32.section, because that has got too close to the cliff edge. Storm
:05:33. > :05:35.damage had affected the basd of the steps, so they have become twisted
:05:36. > :05:39.and have been removed by thd council to be repaired. And at the top of
:05:40. > :05:42.the cliff, we've got some cracks forming, which obviously is a
:05:43. > :05:46.potential hazard for future falls. Birling Gap is no stranger to
:05:47. > :05:50.erosion. The old coastguard cottages are being taken one by one. Some
:05:51. > :05:57.local people think defences should be built to help reduce thex speed
:05:58. > :06:01.the sea claims the land frol below. It would be nice to see somdthing to
:06:02. > :06:04.actually keep the area as it is Because otherwise the cottages that
:06:05. > :06:07.we look at over there, the coastguard cottages... They've all
:06:08. > :06:13.got history and they will bd lost for the people after my gendration.
:06:14. > :06:18.But for now, nature is being left to take its toll. And people are being
:06:19. > :06:21.warned to stay away from clhff edges, both above and below.
:06:22. > :06:26.Well, let's cross live to otr environment correspondent Yvette
:06:27. > :06:35.Austin in Birling Gap. Yvette, is this cracked section expectdd to
:06:36. > :06:39.collapse? It is all happening very quickly. You saw in my PC cottage
:06:40. > :06:45.being dismantled. But once stood behind me and was number two.
:06:46. > :06:49.Arrangements are now being lade to dismantle number three, next to it.
:06:50. > :06:54.The problem at Birling Gap, and the clue is in its name, is that we are
:06:55. > :07:01.in a valley. Either side of us, the chocolate is. Here in the v`lley,
:07:02. > :07:05.the soil is much softer and is being afforded much quicker than the chalk
:07:06. > :07:08.cliffs on either side. `` ehther side of us the or chalk cliffs.
:07:09. > :07:11.In a moment: Crunch time for Brighton's council tax plans as the
:07:12. > :07:13.parties wrangle over whether to trigger a referendum for a lajor
:07:14. > :07:22.rise. A woman from Kent, dying from cancer
:07:23. > :07:26.she believes was caused by `sbestos dust on her husbands work clothes,
:07:27. > :07:29.says she wants to see a change in the law to allow patients and
:07:30. > :07:33.doctors to try out new innovative treatments.
:07:34. > :07:36.Mavis Nye from Whitstable this week joined advertising guru Lord Saatchi
:07:37. > :07:39.at the launch of his Medical Innovation Bill, seeking to give
:07:40. > :07:52.medics greater freedom to ptsh the boundaries. Simon Jones reports
:07:53. > :07:58."Dear Mavis, thank you so mtch for yesterday. You are extraordhnary and
:07:59. > :08:02.I take my hat off to you. " A letter of thanks from Lord Saatchi for her
:08:03. > :08:05.campaigning, to a woman who has been told there are no new treatlents for
:08:06. > :08:10.her, five years after being diagnosed. You are facing ddath
:08:11. > :08:16.aren't you? I don't want to die this way. Because you actually rtn out of
:08:17. > :08:20.breath. Mavis's husband worked at the Chatham dockyard in the 195 s.
:08:21. > :08:23.She believes she breathed in asbestos fivers from his clothing,
:08:24. > :08:31.leading to mesothelioma, a lung cancer. For me, it's like I've given
:08:32. > :08:36.her a death sentence. We have discussed this and she says it's,
:08:37. > :08:41.you know, it's not my fault. Neither of us at the time knew about it But
:08:42. > :08:44.it doesn't make it any easidr. This week, having heard Mavis's story,
:08:45. > :08:48.Lord Saatchi invited her to the House of Lords as he launchdd a
:08:49. > :08:54.consultation on plans to give cancer doctors freedom to innovate without
:08:55. > :09:01.fear of prosecution. He lost his wife to cancer. Will this bhll cure
:09:02. > :09:06.cancer? No. But it will encourage the man or woman who will. Being a
:09:07. > :09:10.guinea pig doesn't worry me because it is for the future. So thdrefore,
:09:11. > :09:14.through me, they will learn from the future and they might find ` cure
:09:15. > :09:17.from all that. So I will trx anything. But solicitor Nick
:09:18. > :09:22.Fairweather says he has every sympathy for cancer patients but the
:09:23. > :09:26.bill is misguided. It should take ages to test. And what really
:09:27. > :09:28.concerns me about this is I see the spectre of very vulnerable,
:09:29. > :09:31.desperate people being paraded before committees of doctors for
:09:32. > :09:40.some innovation which one doctor may think is a good thing, one doctor
:09:41. > :09:52.may think it's a bad thing. The Department of Health says it will
:09:53. > :09:57.consider the proposals. Three men have been charged with a
:09:58. > :10:05.total of 53 historic sex offences at a former Kent school for vulnerable
:10:06. > :10:14.children. The trio are accused of abusing children between 1967 and
:10:15. > :10:16.1993. Colwyn Baker, David Hdnnessy and Nigel Putman will appear at
:10:17. > :10:19.Maidstone Magistrates' Court next month.
:10:20. > :10:22.The High Court has ruled th`t Thanet District Council didn't havd the
:10:23. > :10:25.power to impose a temporary ban preventing live animal exports from
:10:26. > :10:28.the Port of Ramsgate. They could now have to pay compensation to the
:10:29. > :10:30.exporters. Council bosses s`y they're extremely disappointed by
:10:31. > :10:33.the ruling, especially given the recent convictions of some of the
:10:34. > :10:36.exporters for animal welfard issues. A major government summit to discuss
:10:37. > :10:40.so`called legal highs, the first of its kind, was hosted today by the MP
:10:41. > :10:43.for Lewes and Home Office Mhnister Norman Baker. It follows rising
:10:44. > :10:52.numbers of deaths linked to the substances in recent years. It is
:10:53. > :10:55.being warned that they can hmitate the effect of heroin. Brighton
:10:56. > :10:58.Medical student Hester Stew`rt, who died after she took the then`legal
:10:59. > :11:01.drug GBL in 2009. Jimmy Guichard from Gravesend died after it's
:11:02. > :11:03.believed he'd taken a legal high last year. This from our political
:11:04. > :11:06.editor Louise Stewart. Kent now has the dubious distinction
:11:07. > :11:09.of having more shops selling so`called legal highs than `nywhere
:11:10. > :11:12.in the country, outside of London. Since becoming home office linister,
:11:13. > :11:15.Norman Baker has pledged to crack down on the vast numbers of
:11:16. > :11:19.psychoactive substances being sold. And today, he held a summit of drugs
:11:20. > :11:22.experts and police to try to tackle their influx. They are actu`lly
:11:23. > :11:26.going to produce some seriots work. I've said to them I want it to be
:11:27. > :11:28.evidence`based and there should be recommendations, no matter how
:11:29. > :11:32.difficult they are for politicians. They should come up with wh`t they
:11:33. > :11:35.think is the right way forw`rd. The number of deaths from psychoactive
:11:36. > :11:38.substances, which can mimic the effect of legal drugs, has hncreased
:11:39. > :11:41.from ten to 68 over a three`year period. `` the effect of illegal
:11:42. > :11:48.drugs. In 2009, Brighton medical student Hester Stewart died after
:11:49. > :11:51.taking the illegal drug GBL. `` the then legal drug. In 2012, two young
:11:52. > :11:54.men in Canterbury, Daniel Lloyd and Hugo Wenn, died after taking another
:11:55. > :11:57.and last year, 20`year`old Jimmy Guichard from Gravesend suffered a
:11:58. > :12:01.fatal heart attack, believed to be linked to taking a legal high. His
:12:02. > :12:10.family have now launched a campaign to try to raise awareness of the
:12:11. > :12:14.dangers posed. Our family h`s been absolutely devastated by wh`t
:12:15. > :12:17.happened. We physically could not describe the pain we go through on a
:12:18. > :12:22.daily basis. These laws need to change. This cannot happen to anyone
:12:23. > :12:25.else. The Home Office has bden looking at models from elsewhere
:12:26. > :12:29.such as Ireland, where a bl`nket ban on new substances has been brought
:12:30. > :12:32.in, and New Zealand where ldgal highs are dealt with as a hdalth
:12:33. > :12:35.issues. Experts here warned the number of deaths has increased
:12:36. > :12:38.because people simply don't know the risks. People face the situ`tion
:12:39. > :12:41.where they are buying compldtely unknown products. Have to ask
:12:42. > :12:44.yourself, would you do that in any other circumstance? Would you buy
:12:45. > :12:47.something and take it withott having a clue what it was that you were
:12:48. > :12:50.taking? Campaigners like Jilmy Guichard's family will now hope that
:12:51. > :12:59.Norman Baker can take the action needed to prevent the furthdr loss
:13:00. > :13:01.of young lives. Wheezes in Westminster.
:13:02. > :13:05.Some people might think tod`y's summit is just another talkhng shop.
:13:06. > :13:11.`` Louise is in Westminster. When are we likely to see action on this?
:13:12. > :13:15.You were right. Successive governments have spoken abott the
:13:16. > :13:19.need to tackle the drug scotrge although it is easy to talk tough,
:13:20. > :13:24.it is not so easy to implemdnt the changes. I put that to Norm`n Baker.
:13:25. > :13:27.I think people will think it is just another talking shop for police
:13:28. > :13:31.officers and medical experts. He refutes that and said they did not
:13:32. > :13:35.come for the free coffee, they came to discuss the problem, get some
:13:36. > :13:37.solutions and he says he wants an action plan on his desk by darly
:13:38. > :13:43.summer at the latest. Thank you.
:13:44. > :13:47.Crunch talks are taking place this evening about plans to raisd council
:13:48. > :13:50.tax in Brighton and Hove. Opposition councillors are set to block any
:13:51. > :13:53.proposed increases however the Green Party wants to put council tax up by
:13:54. > :13:55.4.75%. That would trigger a referendum under new governlent
:13:56. > :13:58.rules. Labour Party councillors in the city
:13:59. > :14:02.want a 1.99% council tax rise, just under the figure that would mean a
:14:03. > :14:06.referendum. While the Conservatives want a council tax freeze. Well our,
:14:07. > :14:10.reporter Piers Hopkirk has been following the meeting at Hove Town
:14:11. > :14:18.Hall and he joins us from there now. Piers, what's been happening there
:14:19. > :14:24.so far? That debate is ongohng. We expect this meeting to be long and
:14:25. > :14:27.we expect it to be heeded. Hn fact, even as councils were arrivhng
:14:28. > :14:32.tonight, they were met by campaigners outside the town hall,
:14:33. > :14:36.eager to bend their ears before they went in. As you heard, the Greens
:14:37. > :14:46.are looking to push through tonight a council tax increase of four point
:14:47. > :14:49.`` 4.7 5%. That would triggdr a referendum. Both the Conservative
:14:50. > :14:53.and Labour groups said they would not support the move. They believe
:14:54. > :15:00.the money is better spent elsewhere. That will release tiny greenbudget
:15:01. > :15:04.plans. We have been very clear in our
:15:05. > :15:07.proposals. The public understand our position. There has been a huge
:15:08. > :15:10.amount of support from the public and the unions and others about our
:15:11. > :15:15.desire to avoid long`term protection for social care. We'll stand by that
:15:16. > :15:22.and see how the night goes. What does this say about thd
:15:23. > :15:25.greens' leadership? I think it shows how fragile it is. They are a
:15:26. > :15:28.minority leadership which mdans that if they want to get anything done,
:15:29. > :15:32.they have to form alliances with Labour and the Conservatives. It
:15:33. > :15:36.looks like tonight they may have failed to do that. This is one of a
:15:37. > :15:41.number of obstacles they have had to overcome recently. There was the
:15:42. > :15:44.then striker, a BBC survey for this programme which suggested that
:15:45. > :15:49.nearly half of people in Brhtain and over dissatisfied with the way the
:15:50. > :15:54.greens were running the council This is the only city in England
:15:55. > :15:57.that is run by the Green Party. It is under a lot of national scrutiny
:15:58. > :16:07.and what goes on there will be a major test of the Green Party's
:16:08. > :16:17.leadership. The time is 6:44pm. Our top story is that the mother of a
:16:18. > :16:20.woman who was murdered due to domestic violence is calling for a
:16:21. > :16:25.review. She says Cassandra would still be alive if the authorities
:16:26. > :16:27.had acted differently in thd months before her daughter was murdered.
:16:28. > :16:30.Also in tonight's programme: Dancing with Fonteyn, magic`l
:16:31. > :16:38.archive of the day a Kent woman performed with the legendarx prima
:16:39. > :16:42.ballerina. I am Denise van Outen. Join me later
:16:43. > :16:45.when I will be telling you `ll about my new one`woman play which is
:16:46. > :16:49.coming to Kent very soon. All this week we've been looking at
:16:50. > :16:52.the impact of the first World War on the people of Kent and Sussdx 1 0
:16:53. > :16:55.years ago. But tonight, we're shifting the focus slightly to a
:16:56. > :16:58.group of people who travelldd thousands of miles to fight on the
:16:59. > :17:02.western front, from India. @nd when it came to treating the wounded the
:17:03. > :17:05.authorities back in Britain set up an extraordinary hospital in
:17:06. > :17:07.Brighton in an attempt to show the empire how well its soldiers were
:17:08. > :17:14.being cared for. Sara Smith reports. King George V and Queen Marx
:17:15. > :17:20.visiting a military hospital in Britain. `` Brighton. But it wasn't
:17:21. > :17:24.just the bravery of the soldiers here which made them the talk of the
:17:25. > :17:27.town. The Royal Pavilion, originally built as a pleasure palace for the
:17:28. > :17:31.Prince Regent, had been turned into a hospital for Indian soldidrs and
:17:32. > :17:35.their arrival here caused qtite a stir.
:17:36. > :17:40.The streets were lined with local people, partly to see what was going
:17:41. > :17:43.on but also to celebrate thd fact that these men had come frol
:17:44. > :17:49.overseas to fight for the British Empire.
:17:50. > :17:55.Today, the pavilion has been painstakingly restored to the
:17:56. > :18:00.splendour of its heyday. In 191 , so, many of its treasures h`d been
:18:01. > :18:03.stripped away. But it's empty spaces would make perfect wards and it
:18:04. > :18:06.would send a message that the British Empire looked after her
:18:07. > :18:10.soldiers, both of their physical and cultural needs.
:18:11. > :18:16.The authorities very quicklx picked up on the story that it had been a
:18:17. > :18:19.former royal palace and werd very keen at promoting the idea back in
:18:20. > :18:23.India that the King had acttally personally given up his pal`ce for
:18:24. > :18:27.the use of his Indian troops. The reality of course was that the
:18:28. > :18:29.pavilion had been sold by the Crown over 60 years before the st`rt of
:18:30. > :18:39.the war. The Eastern touches, it was felt,
:18:40. > :18:43.might make the soldiers feel more at home. And there were less clumsy
:18:44. > :18:49.cultural considerations. Separate kitchens for the various religions,
:18:50. > :18:51.for example. The respect for the different cultures of the Indian

:19:40. > :19:45.taken to the Shah Jahan mospue in Woking to be buried, as it hs in
:19:46. > :19:48.their custom. It was very ilportant for the Indians to know that they
:19:49. > :19:49.were respected and all their religious beliefs were acknowledged
:19:50. > :20:02.by the British. 4000 Indian soldiers were treated at
:20:03. > :20:06.the Royal Pavilion. Operating theatres and wards set up in its
:20:07. > :20:11.opulent spaces. Convalescing soldiers making the most of the

:20:34. > :20:39.The name of Dame Margot Fonteyn is still a byword for the very highest
:20:40. > :20:41.levels of achievement in thd ballet world, arguably the greatest female
:20:42. > :20:45.dancer ever. Now a BBC film showing her `t the
:20:46. > :20:49.peak of her powers in 1959 has been uncovered and is to be televised for
:20:50. > :20:51.the first time since it was first performed.
:20:52. > :20:56.Dancing alongside her in Sldeping Beauty was a young woman from Kent,
:20:57. > :21:01.Prue Wollaston. Now in her 70s, and still a ballet teacher, she's never
:21:02. > :21:12.seen the footage until now. Claudia Sermbezsis has been to meet her
:21:13. > :21:20.This is prudence Rodney, 23, dancing in sleeping beauty. Today, she
:21:21. > :21:31.watched the footage for the first time in more than 50 years. Oh, I

:21:35. > :21:47.I'm sorry. It is wonderful. Thank you so much! Thank you so mtch. It
:21:48. > :21:53.is lovely to show you it. Absolutely, I couldn't belidve it. I
:21:54. > :21:58.thought the technique was going to be awful. I thought... After all
:21:59. > :22:06.those years, dans has progrdssed so much in the last 50 years. That was
:22:07. > :22:12.not bad at all! Sleeping be`uty was filmed as a BBC Christmas special in
:22:13. > :22:19.1959. It starred the greatest dancer of her generation, Dame Margot
:22:20. > :22:23.Fonteyn. Prudence played ond of her fairy godmother 's. She was so
:22:24. > :22:32.demure but modesty was her thing. She was so kind. Gentle also. And
:22:33. > :22:38.yet on the stage, she was brilliant. Her turns were so quick. Her
:22:39. > :22:47.pirouettes where absolutely perfectly placed and quick. And her
:22:48. > :22:52.acting was quite lovely. Now, Prudence runs a ballet school and
:22:53. > :22:57.despite teaching here for 18 years, today was the first time her
:22:58. > :23:03.students found out that thex are my damn ones danced with the l`te great
:23:04. > :23:11.Dame Margot Fonteyn. What do you think? that's really good! Thank
:23:12. > :23:15.you. Are they not lucky?
:23:16. > :23:18.And the full film Fonteyn '49: Sleeping Beauty, introduced by
:23:19. > :23:23.Darcey Bussell, will be on BBC Four on the 7th of March at 8pm.
:23:24. > :23:29.The Denise Van Outen we used to know didn't write plays. She burst onto

:23:35. > :23:44.since then has featured on strictly come dancing and been on thd West

:24:07. > :24:09.with her own show. I am really excited about being in Dartford
:24:10. > :24:12.because I live not too far from there. I have a place in Kent and I
:24:13. > :24:16.know that the audience is going to be up for it. She became a household
:24:17. > :24:21.name in the 90s and has graced the West End stage. It is her appearance
:24:22. > :24:25.on Strictly Come Dancing th`t she describes as liberating. Evdrything
:24:26. > :24:30.about it is great. I came ott of it feeling toned and slender. H learned
:24:31. > :24:34.all of these amazing dancers. It is a brilliant thing to do. Cotld you
:24:35. > :24:38.still do any of the dancers? Think about had a professional partner it
:24:39. > :24:43.would come flooding back but it is not like you can just walk tp to a
:24:44. > :24:48.random guy in the street and ask for a foxtrot.
:24:49. > :24:51.# If it is love you want from me... As a stage now baby, she has grown
:24:52. > :24:57.up in the public eye, something that it is not always easy. Therd has
:24:58. > :25:00.been a lot of attention into my private life which can get difficult
:25:01. > :25:04.at times. When things are pdrsonal to you, you do not want spl`shed
:25:05. > :25:07.across a newspaper but I have them doing it long enough to know that it
:25:08. > :25:12.goes hand in hand with the dog. `` with the job. Due to not re`d
:25:13. > :25:17.everything. I have a nice lhfe without there being a downshde. ``
:25:18. > :25:22.you cannot have everything. Actress, model, ladette, TV

:25:48. > :25:52.Over the next couple of days, we had that rain first things and some hail
:25:53. > :25:58.mixed in with. The odd rumble of thunder and highs of 10 degrees
:25:59. > :26:02.Those westerly winds around 50 mph but not picking up particul`rly
:26:03. > :26:06.overnight but it will turn ` little bit wintry, particularly ovdr high
:26:07. > :26:10.ground. Initially we will bd dry. Perhaps a future risk but from M,
:26:11. > :26:18.we will start to see unsettled weather, perhaps little that wintry
:26:19. > :26:22.over higher ground. `` from 3am A row and wet night. As we go into
:26:23. > :26:25.tomorrow, low pressure is slowly pulling away but throughout the day,
