:01:22. > :01:25.East, Martin Power from Ramsgate said it was like being addicted to a
:01:26. > :01:28.drug. Campaigners claim gamblers in Kent and Sussex lost more than 65
:01:29. > :01:34.million on fixed`odds betting terminals last year. However,
:01:35. > :01:38.bookmakers insist the machines are not in themselves addictive, and are

:04:33. > :04:35.Police in Sussex are investhgating a series of racist tweets sent to a

:04:48. > :04:59.of online abuse. She shares comments and ide`s on
:05:00. > :05:04.social networking sites, but last week, bonus and found herself the
:05:05. > :05:11.subject of a barrage of rachst tweet from a stranger. The person told her
:05:12. > :05:14.that she should go back to her own country, questioned why she was
:05:15. > :05:21.still here and her right to remain in the country. You put your head
:05:22. > :05:25.above the parapet and you go into public life, you expect somd people
:05:26. > :05:30.to attack you, and as a brown skinned person, that is going to be
:05:31. > :05:36.part of what I am going to face but it does not make it pleasant. You
:05:37. > :05:40.expect it, but you feel, my goodness, is this still going on?
:05:41. > :05:47.Celebrities and politicians are targets. Jonathan Ross's wife
:05:48. > :05:51.deleted her account this wedk after he became the target of abusive

:06:02. > :06:06.threats, leading to increashng pressure on the side to revhew its
:06:07. > :06:12.procedures for reporting abtse. There should be more legisl`tion, we
:06:13. > :06:17.believe that social media ottlets should produce an external `udit to
:06:18. > :06:19.measure the cyber`bullying. What happened as a result, and what
:06:20. > :06:28.action was taken. That should be publicly available. The MP has taken
:06:29. > :06:32.steps to stop further tweet from the same account. The police ard
:06:33. > :06:36.investigating. The identity and whereabouts of the offender is not
:06:37. > :06:41.straightforward online. Those who have fallen victim feel mord should
:06:42. > :06:46.be done. The harm, hurt and pain it causes should not be belittled, I
:06:47. > :06:50.would not advocate anybody `ccept this sort of abuse.
:06:51. > :06:52.In a moment. Blazing a trail for the new
:06:53. > :06:53.apprenticeship scheme, our ferry companies welcome the latest
:06:54. > :07:05.initiative. In an effort to tackle childhood
:07:06. > :07:08.obesity, Medway Council is to start a public consultation over proposals
:07:09. > :07:14.to ban takeaways opening ne`r schools. The area has one of the
:07:15. > :07:18.highest rates of obesity in the country, more than one in fhve
:07:19. > :07:22.ten`year`olds are classed as obese. After the idea was first mooted a
:07:23. > :07:25.year ago, the council wants to know what residents thing about tsing
:07:26. > :07:27.planning laws to stop new ottlets opening within 400 metres of
:07:28. > :07:40.schools. A lunchtime takeaway for thdse
:07:41. > :07:42.pupils, but soon, schools could find themselves surrounded with `n
:07:43. > :07:48.exclusion zone, banning new fast food outlets. Not a great idea, we
:07:49. > :07:53.should be able to make our own decisions, and it will not be
:07:54. > :07:57.helpful for local businesses. The only people who are allowed are our
:07:58. > :08:03.age, you are old enough to decide what you should eat. The owners will
:08:04. > :08:09.lose out on revenue, and we will lose out on our chip shop! The
:08:10. > :08:14.proposed move comes after it emerges 20% of children in Medway are obese.
:08:15. > :08:18.Planning policy could be altered to make it harder to put new t`keaways
:08:19. > :08:24.near schools or in places whth an already high volume of fast food
:08:25. > :08:28.shops. Medway Council will `pprove a month`long public consultathon on
:08:29. > :08:33.the idea. Where there is a great entity of fast food outlets close to
:08:34. > :08:38.schools, there is a greater incidence of obesity. We wotld not
:08:39. > :08:43.consider consulting on it if we did not think it would work. Kings
:08:44. > :08:48.Rochester is yards from the town's High Street. It is an interdsting
:08:49. > :08:52.idea, you look at most teen`gers, they are capable of making choices
:08:53. > :08:58.for themselves. Prohibition very rarely works. It is an extrdme
:08:59. > :09:03.measure. If the pupils are lature enough, they can make the ddcisions
:09:04. > :09:06.themselves. Whether it is the right thing to do to focus on restricting
:09:07. > :09:11.businesses rather than educ`ting young people first and stopping them
:09:12. > :09:17.from eating the wrong things is a question. Medway Council insists the
:09:18. > :09:22.measure would be just one p`rt of ongoing efforts to tackle the issue
:09:23. > :09:25.of obesity. The public now look set to have their say.
:09:26. > :09:32.You've spent the day in Medway, what have the takeaway businesses there
:09:33. > :09:37.had to say about this? They consider themselves to be the fall gty is in
:09:38. > :09:43.this debate. I have spoken to the Federation of Small Businesses in
:09:44. > :09:50.Kent, they think that proposals like this Draconian. They urged the
:09:51. > :09:53.council to remember positivd impact that these businesses have on the
:09:54. > :09:57.High Street, the money they generate and the jobs that they create. The
:09:58. > :10:01.council are adamant this will have an effect, it will reduce obesity,
:10:02. > :10:05.and they compare it to publhc of campaigns like the smoking ban and
:10:06. > :10:08.seat belts. A powerful Parliamentary colmittee
:10:09. > :10:11.says Sussex Police made a sdrious mistake when it issued an MP and
:10:12. > :10:16.former minister with a warnhng notice relating to a speech he made
:10:17. > :10:19.in the House of Commons. Thd Commons Privileges Committee found the force
:10:20. > :10:22.to be in contempt of Parlialent for issuing a Police Information Notice
:10:23. > :10:25.to the East Worthing and Shoreham MP Tim Loughton, who told the committee
:10:26. > :10:36.the force's actions had caused considerable stress.
:10:37. > :10:41.There has been a long enquiry, it has taken up a lot of time `nd
:10:42. > :10:45.taxpayers' resources, and the police have been found in serious breach of
:10:46. > :10:48.parliamentary privilege, a serious right to make sure that MPs can go
:10:49. > :10:54.about their job without fear or favour. There are serious qtestions
:10:55. > :10:56.to be answered, I hope therd will be a review.
:10:57. > :10:59.A 21`year`old man has been `rrested at Gatwick Airport on suspicion of
:11:00. > :11:03.receiving terrorist training abroad. The suspect was held after he got
:11:04. > :11:07.off a flight from Istanbul this afternoon. He was held on stspicion
:11:08. > :11:09.of an offence under Section Six of the Terrorism Act.
:11:10. > :11:12.The controversial multi`million`pound i360 project for
:11:13. > :11:18.Brighton seafront has been given the green light. In the last hotr,
:11:19. > :11:21.councillors agreed to doubld the amount of money they want to borrow
:11:22. > :11:24.from the Government. Planning permission for the 600`foot`tall
:11:25. > :11:27.tower was given seven years ago but the project hit the buffers when a
:11:28. > :11:35.major private backer pulled out last autumn.
:11:36. > :11:39.We would not have done this if we did not think this was a very good
:11:40. > :11:43.option. My view is that the financial risk is greater if we did
:11:44. > :11:49.nothing, because the structtres are coming to the end of their life we
:11:50. > :11:55.have got a repair bill, this is the only option on the table th`t will
:11:56. > :12:00.generate money. This looks as if it is actu`lly
:12:01. > :12:05.going to happen, when are wd likely to see the i360 being built? As far
:12:06. > :12:09.as the developers and counchllors are concerned, this was the last
:12:10. > :12:12.hurdle, they hope that work will get under way in the next three months
:12:13. > :12:19.and that the tower will be open by June 2016. What was agreed today was
:12:20. > :12:24.a loan of ?36 million from ` central government pot, administered by the
:12:25. > :12:30.council. They hope it will bring up to ?25 million the local economy,
:12:31. > :12:35.humming from the estimated 750, 00 visitors it is expected to bring in
:12:36. > :12:41.every year. But the scheme still has its critics. Yes, it was voted
:12:42. > :12:44.through here in the council chamber and our ago, it split the
:12:45. > :12:48.Conservative group and the Labour Party are posted. They disptte that
:12:49. > :12:53.the visitor numbers can be maintained. Even if it is money
:12:54. > :12:57.coming from the central govdrnment, they say, it is still taxpaxers
:12:58. > :13:06.money that is at risk. This is our top story tonight.
:13:07. > :13:09.A man who lost ?25,000 on hhgh stakes betting machines has joined
:13:10. > :13:14.calls for them to be banned. Martin Power said it was like being
:13:15. > :13:19.addicted to a drug. Campaigners say gamblers here lost more than six to
:13:20. > :13:22.?5 million on fixed odds betting terminals last year.

:14:00. > :14:04.will be included as one of the Governments Trailblazer
:14:05. > :14:06.apprenticeships. It's billed as a new kind of apprenticeship training
:14:07. > :14:11.to meet standards required by employers. Last year, half ` million
:14:12. > :14:15.people started an apprenticdship. That's up more than 200,000 on a

:14:18. > :14:32.apprenticeships will be Trailblazers.
:14:33. > :14:38.A young man learning his tr`de on an apprenticeship scheme aboard a
:14:39. > :14:47.cross`channel ferry. In this case, the teacher is also his father. It
:14:48. > :14:50.is an easier way to learn, people learning in the classrooms `re not
:14:51. > :14:56.doing the job, but if you are doing the job, you will be better at it.
:14:57. > :15:00.In this job, you need to be hands`on, you cannot learn hn a
:15:01. > :15:07.classroom. You need to be ott here with the crew that you are working
:15:08. > :15:15.with. This is one of the colpanies offering Trailblazer
:15:16. > :15:18.apprenticeships. I am trainhng to become an able seaman. He w`s at
:15:19. > :15:25.Downing Street today with the Chancellor, he talked about the new
:15:26. > :15:32.scheme. This is the employers getting involved with us, s`ying,
:15:33. > :15:35.this is what you need, which means a lot to the apprentices, you know
:15:36. > :15:39.what you are learning is relevant to the jobs that you are doing.
:15:40. > :15:43.Apprenticeship schemes are ` great alternative to college, not
:15:44. > :15:47.everybody wants to go to college, this is an agility to get into a

:16:16. > :16:19.Over the last few years, a fishmonger's in East Sussex has been
:16:20. > :16:24.steadily building its reput`tion for providing really good fish. Now all
:16:25. > :16:27.the hard work put in by Veasey and Sons in Forest Row could be
:16:28. > :16:30.recognised with a national `ward. They pride themselves on getting the

:16:33. > :16:34.MasterChef critic Charles C`mpion, have short listed them for BBC Radio
:16:35. > :16:49.4's Food Retailer of the Ye`r. They are sticking their nosds into
:16:50. > :16:53.this fishy business, the judges are here from BBC Radio 4 to sed whether
:16:54. > :16:57.these young sons should be named food retailer of the year. One of
:16:58. > :17:01.those who will decide is Ch`rles Campion from MasterChef, he thinks
:17:02. > :17:06.this fishmonger 's is doing a great job, as he believes we have a tricky
:17:07. > :17:12.relationship with seafood. Hn our hearts, we crave having it battered
:17:13. > :17:15.or as a fish finger. It is ` pity, properly prepared fish is one of the
:17:16. > :17:20.great treat. We know we shotld be eating better things, this hs a
:17:21. > :17:26.better thing. That is why fhshmonger 's are imported. Easy and Sons has
:17:27. > :17:29.become an institution here. But the successful business has been far
:17:30. > :17:35.from immune to the recent b`d weather. Fewer fish being c`ught
:17:36. > :17:42.means higher prices. Increases of between 30 to 40%. The less there is
:17:43. > :17:46.of one Fish, the more peopld will pay at market, which dictatds our
:17:47. > :17:51.price. People noticed a price rise, but they were understanding.
:17:52. > :17:57.Sometimes, my husband will say, wow, and I say, divide that by two or
:17:58. > :18:02.four, if we are having people for a meal, it is no more expensive than
:18:03. > :18:07.meat. The business has its own boat, but the bad weather h`s
:18:08. > :18:11.limited its days at sea, and the boat is currently out of thd water.
:18:12. > :18:16.Since Christmas, it has been hard to get a decent amount of a regular
:18:17. > :18:20.supply of fish, the prices have gone up, because we have been having to
:18:21. > :18:26.purchase fish from Iceland `nd Norway. The only way is up, things
:18:27. > :18:30.are going to get better. Thd good weather lifts the spirits, `nd if it
:18:31. > :18:34.continues, it will help the business. A food award would not
:18:35. > :18:38.help's not hurt, either. And you can hear more about the

:21:23. > :21:25.this time at the Paralympic Games in Sochi. 15`year`old Millie Knight,
:21:26. > :21:29.who is Britain's youngest`ever Paralympian, will carry the flag at
:21:30. > :21:31.the opening ceremony tomorrow. The visually`impaired Canterburx
:21:32. > :21:40.schoolgirl will be competing in the skiing.
:21:41. > :21:44.This morning, I was told I had a meeting, I was not sure what it was
:21:45. > :21:50.about at all. I thought, and I in trouble? I was in the meeting and
:21:51. > :21:54.they were like, as you might be aware, the opening ceremony is
:21:55. > :21:58.tomorrow, and we would like you to be our flag bearer. It was `mazing!
:21:59. > :22:01.Quite a facial expression! Charlton Athletic are just one
:22:02. > :22:04.victory away from a Wembley semifinal, ` and two wins from the
:22:05. > :22:08.FA Cup final itself. Over 5,000 fans, many from the South E`st, will
:22:09. > :22:17.be going to Sheffield United on Sunday for their quarterfin`l tie.
:22:18. > :22:24.The shorts were back here and the commentators less passionatd,
:22:25. > :22:28.perhaps, but Charlton's 1947 FA Cup success remains a high point. The
:22:29. > :22:36.trophy retains its indefinable magic to this day. I am frightened to
:22:37. > :22:40.touch it! There is a big gale to negotiate before we can talk about
:22:41. > :22:45.Wembley or the semifinals. Ht is a tough game. But I think it hs a
:22:46. > :22:51.wonderful competition, I always have done. People of my age and older,
:22:52. > :22:55.you grew up on that game, the showpiece game of the season. The
:22:56. > :22:58.Charlton players have struggled for much of this season and are aware
:22:59. > :23:03.how important victory on Sunday would be. It would be huge. This
:23:04. > :23:11.club has been through the mhll in the last five, ten years, coming out
:23:12. > :23:15.of the Premier League and down to League One. We are on the w`y back
:23:16. > :23:21.now, and it would be a reward to all the fans for their loyalty. It is 67
:23:22. > :23:26.years since Charlton last triumphed in the FA Cup final. It still
:23:27. > :23:30.matters, but only if they avoid relegation. I would not want to see
:23:31. > :23:36.Charlton go down under any circumstances, that includes the
:23:37. > :23:44.cup. I was there in 1947, I was 16. I enjoyed it, although it w`s not a
:23:45. > :23:50.brilliant game. It is an important cup, definitely. It is big,
:23:51. > :23:54.moneywise. We realise that. But at the moment, we are down the bottom
:23:55. > :24:00.of the league, and these gales have to be put in hand. It may bd some
:24:01. > :24:08.time before Charlton win thd cup again, but a trip to Wemblex is
:24:09. > :24:12.definitely on the cards. You would not have thought this a
:24:13. > :24:16.few weeks ago, but we have had the hottest day of the year so far, and
:24:17. > :24:18.it has been a really lovely. Sunny, warm, dry.
:24:19. > :24:30.Yes, we were the warmest pl`ce in the country. We saw 15.5 degrees in
:24:31. > :24:33.Gravesend. All of us have h`d sunshine and a warm afternoon. The
:24:34. > :24:39.warmest temperature of the xear so far. Over the next couple of days,
:24:40. > :24:44.cloud around tomorrow, but hnto next week, this area of high pressure.
:24:45. > :24:50.That means we will see lots of welcome dry weather, very w`rm
:24:51. > :24:55.sunshine, some frosty starts, but by the afternoon, it will be clear blue
:24:56. > :25:00.skies. Earlier, lots of cle`r blue sky. A bit more cloud cover as we
:25:01. > :25:01.went through the afternoon, but on the whole, it has been very pleasant
:25:02. > :25:17.indeed. The wind picked up a little bit As
:25:18. > :25:20.we go into tonight, initially, clearer skies, we start to see a bit
:25:21. > :25:24.more cloud cover towards thd early hours of tomorrow morning, but
:25:25. > :25:32.mostly, we stay dry. It is puite a mild night. The temperatures hold up
:25:33. > :25:37.along the coast. As we start the day tomorrow, cloud cover, and ` week
:25:38. > :25:45.weather front, which clears. Behind it, high pressure builds, whth some
:25:46. > :25:49.clearer skies. Quite a mild and cloudy start tomorrow, the rain is
:25:50. > :25:51.patchy and light, clearing through by the afternoon. Behind it, quite
:25:52. > :26:06.similar temperatures to tod`y. The south`westerly breeze. @s we go
:26:07. > :26:12.from Friday over into Saturday, the clearer sky again. The tempdratures
:26:13. > :26:18.are not particularly cold. Ht holds up along the coast. As we start
:26:19. > :26:22.Saturday, a bit more cloud cover around, but the high pressure is
:26:23. > :26:26.going to build, and by the afternoon, lots of sunshine. The
:26:27. > :26:33.wind is often as well. The temperature could reach 15 or 1
:26:34. > :26:38.degrees. A clearer sky means that as we go into Sunday, it is a cold
:26:39. > :26:42.night. As we go through the day on Sunday, lots of sunshine from the
:26:43. > :26:50.word go. It will be a warm `t a warm day than Saturday. Potentially a bit
:26:51. > :26:56.of cloud from Sunday into Monday, but as we head through the week
:26:57. > :27:00.lots of sunshine, a cold st`rt to the day, but lots of sunshine, it
:27:01. > :27:05.will be warm. You cannot argue with that!
:27:06. > :27:13.The top national and local stories. Theresa May has announced a public
:27:14. > :27:16.enquiry into undercover polhcing in response to a damning review of the
:27:17. > :27:21.original Stephen Lawrence mtrder investigation.
:27:22. > :27:24.A Kent man who lost ?25,000 on high stakes betting machines has joined
:27:25. > :27:28.calls for them to be banned. Martin Power said it was like being
:27:29. > :27:33.addicted to a drug. In an effort to tackle childhood
:27:34. > :27:35.obesity, Medway Council will start a public consultation over proposals
:27:36. > :27:40.to ban takeaways from opening near schools.
:27:41. > :27:45.We will have the late bulletin. We will see you tomorrow. Goodbye.
