:03:01. > :03:04.scene on Thursday morning. This afternoon, police announced it may
:03:05. > :03:09.have been started deliberately. Since the fire, it has emerged many
:03:10. > :03:14.of the traders were unable to get insurance. I think it is absolutely
:03:15. > :03:18.devastating that someone would want to, and destroying such an iconic

:03:24. > :03:28.These people have got families, they have got mortgages, they have got

:03:36. > :03:42.the peer in the hours before the fire started. The town is already
:03:43. > :03:46.devastated by the sad news, but if it has been started deliberately,
:03:47. > :03:51.that is pointless and stupid at the start of the summer season. It is a
:03:52. > :04:01.very sad indictment on the type of people who go on peers `` who go on
:04:02. > :04:04.pier. This evening, the area remains closely guarded as investigators try
:04:05. > :04:09.to work out what happened. Just to pick up on that point I made about
:04:10. > :04:13.photos, on Wednesday this whole area was packed with visitors and
:04:14. > :04:16.holiday`makers and what is key to the police investigation is all the
:04:17. > :04:20.videos and photos that were taken on Wednesday. They may play a crucial
:04:21. > :04:25.part in evidence in this investigation. The police want to

:05:00. > :05:06.Obviously it is terrible to see the devastation that did take place from
:05:07. > :05:13.the fire, the twisted and burnt metal, and the fact the pier has to
:05:14. > :05:16.be shut for a period, but actually the Fire Service did an amazing job
:05:17. > :05:20.with the RNLI and others to save two thirds of the pier.
:05:21. > :05:24.Very brave firefighting, brilliantly organised, a great policing
:05:25. > :05:27.operation, and now you can see the whole town pulling together to work
:05:28. > :05:33.There was also a chance to meet the firefighters whose effort saved
:05:34. > :05:37.around two thirds of the piers's structure.
:05:38. > :05:39.It is a great honour for him to actually come
:05:40. > :05:43.down to Eastbourne, a sleepy little town as we call it, and actually
:05:44. > :05:46.for him to come down and appreciate the work that we have done.
:05:47. > :05:48.The pier is of phenomenal sentimental value to
:05:49. > :05:54.the town and to the country, so the pressure is on, when you get that.
:05:55. > :05:58.Historically piers tend to go all the way when they go.
:05:59. > :06:02.To stop it, to leave a large proportion in use and to make the
:06:03. > :06:09.Today, the government also pledged ?2 million to support traders
:06:10. > :06:13.and businesses on the pier affected by the fire.
:06:14. > :06:16.That, in addition to eight and a half million pounds that is
:06:17. > :06:18.going to ten other coastal towns including Brighton,
:06:19. > :06:26.which will share a ?400,000 pot to build a new tourist hostel.
:06:27. > :06:28.While Eastbourne reels from the suggestion that
:06:29. > :06:32.the fire may have been started deliberately, there was a degree
:06:33. > :06:39.of optimism from the Prime Minister that renovation work could start.
:06:40. > :06:41.It is privately owned but what is your hope
:06:42. > :06:45.My hope is that they will rebuild and rebuild rapidly.
:06:46. > :06:58.The owners of the pier, I spoke to this morning, that is certainly
:06:59. > :07:00.their intention, they operate other piers around the country,
:07:01. > :07:04.they have of this they got to check the structure of the pier, it is a
:07:05. > :07:09.listed and grade two listed building so it needs to be rebuilt
:07:10. > :07:27.in a proper way, but every sign of that is the intention and
:07:28. > :07:34.so we don't have to wait years and years for a new pier.
:07:35. > :07:35.The Prime Minister's sentiments surely shared
:07:36. > :07:40.Let's cross back to Eastbourne and speak to the town's
:07:41. > :07:44.Can I ask for your reaction to the news that the fire could have
:07:45. > :07:52.I think if it is true, and remember it is still under investigation it
:07:53. > :07:57.is either accident or arson, if the disaster, I am disgusted, but we
:07:58. > :08:03.won't let it change the way that we do things. Since this tragedy has
:08:04. > :08:08.happened, in Eastbourne we love our pier, and if someone did this, then
:08:09. > :08:13.shame on them, I am not interested in them, what I am interested in is
:08:14. > :08:18.our pier and the fact that in Eastbourne we care about our town
:08:19. > :08:20.and our community. You must be delighted to see the Prime Minister
:08:21. > :08:27.and the Chancellor in constituency today offering ?2 million for
:08:28. > :08:34.regeneration? I was. I cheered a meeting with the firefighting
:08:35. > :08:39.office, and I had the Chamber of Commerce there might be Eastbourne
:08:40. > :08:42.hospitality Association, the council, the Prime Minister and the
:08:43. > :08:47.Chancellor, so I was very direct and I asked about the money, I asked
:08:48. > :08:50.when we would get it, will we be in charge of how we spend it, and to be
:08:51. > :08:55.fair I think the Chancellor in particular was slightly
:08:56. > :08:59.uncomfortable, but he agreed that he would get it to us as soon as
:09:00. > :09:04.possible and that it is for the council to know what to do with it.
:09:05. > :09:09.I am keen on using a lot of that money on marketing our message. That
:09:10. > :09:14.is that in respect of this tragedy, we are still open for business, we
:09:15. > :09:15.want more visitors to come, we are a lovely town, and we are ready and
:09:16. > :09:22.waiting for you to visit. Thank you. We'll have more on this story later
:09:23. > :09:25.on in the programme and of course you can tune into the
:09:26. > :09:28.BBC Sussex who will be covering this all evening and we have full
:09:29. > :09:31.coverage on our website also. Preparations for the day pride
:09:32. > :09:40.festival in Brighton. It's emerged that police may have
:09:41. > :09:43.made a series of blunders in the case of Jayden Parkinson,
:09:44. > :09:47.the 17`year`old girl brought up in Folkestone who who was strangled
:09:48. > :09:50.and found buried in a graveyard Five officers from
:09:51. > :09:54.Thames Valley Police are now being investigated over whether they could
:09:55. > :09:58.have done more to protect her before she died, and whether they
:09:59. > :10:02.twice released her killer on bail because different teams
:10:03. > :10:04.weren't communicating properly. Jayden Parkinson's disappearance
:10:05. > :10:09.made national headlines last December as the focus turned to
:10:10. > :10:13.the graveyard in which Ben Blakeley, her ex`boyfriend, had hastily
:10:14. > :10:17.buried her strangled body. But today,
:10:18. > :10:20.the focus has fallen on what the police may have known about the
:10:21. > :10:24.risk he posed before he killed her. This is
:10:25. > :10:26.a live missing persons enquiry. We do not know where Jayden is
:10:27. > :10:29.at the moment. That was Thames Valley Police
:10:30. > :10:32.speaking eight days after Jayden went missing, but it now seems the
:10:33. > :10:36.police may have had far more clues The five officers who are under
:10:37. > :10:41.investigation tonight are being Jayden's family had already been
:10:42. > :10:47.in touch with them about threats What had the police done
:10:48. > :10:52.with that information? A few hours after Jayden was
:10:53. > :10:55.reported missing, Blakeley was questioned by the police,
:10:56. > :10:58.but about a separate offence, Did the officers who made that
:10:59. > :11:06.decision even realise that Jayden One week later, Blakeley was
:11:07. > :11:12.arrested on suspicion of kidnapping, The IPCC are now investigating
:11:13. > :11:17.whether that was because the police still hadn't
:11:18. > :11:23.realised how serious this case was. When Blakeley was given
:11:24. > :11:26.a life sentence earlier this week, it was all too much for some
:11:27. > :11:28.of Jayden's family. We will never be able to find
:11:29. > :11:31.an ounce of forgiveness This was the reaction of
:11:32. > :11:40.Thames Valley Police. Since the beginning
:11:41. > :11:42.of the police investigation, he has treated the whole process
:11:43. > :11:45.with complete contempt. He has lied and attempted
:11:46. > :11:49.to deceive the police. The force are now having to ask
:11:50. > :11:52.whether they also unwittingly In a statement today,
:11:53. > :11:56.they said it would be inappropriate to comment on an ongoing
:11:57. > :12:00.investigation, an investigation they themselves requested as soon

:13:19. > :13:23.question time for the Prime Minister. Today, he took a chance to
:13:24. > :13:29.put his idea into practice in Hastings. The Sussex seat is seen as
:13:30. > :13:38.key for the next elections, our political editor has more. It was a
:13:39. > :13:43.relaxed Ed Miliband who met potential voters in Hastings this
:13:44. > :13:45.afternoon, but despite the hot temperatures and ice creams
:13:46. > :13:56.all`round, Mr Miller band decided not to join. Don't worry, I didn't
:13:57. > :13:59.eat it, in case you were a Labour supporter, you might have been
:14:00. > :14:06.worried. The last time the liberal leader was photographed eating, the
:14:07. > :14:09.opportunity backfired on him. He told the Hastings audience that he
:14:10. > :14:16.has what it takes to become the next Prime Minister. People can be turned
:14:17. > :14:20.off by politics because they think we care more about style than
:14:21. > :14:24.substance, well, I care about how we change things in this country, and
:14:25. > :14:27.frankly whether there is a good photo is not going to change things
:14:28. > :14:32.for the people of Britain. Ed Miliband has been dogged by negative
:14:33. > :14:37.comments about his image, and he tried to answer his critics last
:14:38. > :14:41.week. You know and I know that I am not from central casting. You can
:14:42. > :14:48.find people who are more square`jawed, more chiselled, who
:14:49. > :14:58.look less like Wallace. That didn't work out too smoothly, either. You
:14:59. > :15:01.have clearly bitten somebody there. Commentators say that highlighting
:15:02. > :15:06.his own faults is a high risk strategy. His ratings are similar to
:15:07. > :15:10.William Hague, who never became Prime Minister when he was leader of
:15:11. > :15:15.the opposition, and ultimately it boils down to what Ronald Reagan
:15:16. > :15:19.said, a few work explaining, you're losing. But do the people of
:15:20. > :15:23.Hastings think he looks like a Prime Minister `Mark I haven't seen the
:15:24. > :15:30.substance yet. I would like to believe in him. It just comes across
:15:31. > :15:37.as a bit of the same old, I am afraid. I bought a Labour because my
:15:38. > :15:43.family have always voted Labour. A few are a worker, you vote Labour.
:15:44. > :15:49.What does a Prime Minister look like? Are his policies right, that
:15:50. > :15:53.is a different question. Ed Miliband's message, he is not a
:15:54. > :15:57.politician from central casting is. He hopes this new message will help
:15:58. > :16:01.him to target new voters in Hastings and across the country. We can now
:16:02. > :16:06.speak to our correspondent in Hastings. Three heavyweight
:16:07. > :16:13.politicians in the same area on the same day. Is this because of the
:16:14. > :16:17.election? You would be forgiven for thinking it is just around the
:16:18. > :16:21.coroner, but it is still nine months away. Politicians have all been told
:16:22. > :16:25.to get out and connect with the public, and that is exactly what
:16:26. > :16:33.they have been doing. Ed Miliband has been in Hastings several times
:16:34. > :16:38.before. It is a key marginal seat. The Conservative MP here has a very
:16:39. > :16:46.small majority. It is seats like this one that Ed Miliband must win
:16:47. > :16:51.if he is to become Prime Minister. Sussex Police say the fire which

:17:47. > :17:59.memorial arch in the town which is preparing for a Royal visitor.
:18:00. > :18:06.The war is never forgotten here. Those who lost their lives are here
:18:07. > :18:11.inscribed, along with those from World War II. I wonder how many
:18:12. > :18:15.people read this inscription, which talks about the soldiers which
:18:16. > :18:18.passed through, soldiers from the Empire and across the world. A few
:18:19. > :18:24.had stood here during the war, you would have seen dozens of men in
:18:25. > :18:28.columns coming from the barracks over there to the east, down the
:18:29. > :18:34.promenade, and descending the hail to the pier, where they would board
:18:35. > :18:40.ships for the French and Belgian battlefields. Here is the story of
:18:41. > :18:43.one soldier, Siegfried Sassoon who is also a famous poet and his
:18:44. > :18:50.diaries are now online for the first time. Saturday the 1st of July,
:18:51. > :18:57.1916, last night was cloudless and still. The bombardment went on
:18:58. > :19:01.steadily. The air vibrates with an incessant din, the whole earth
:19:02. > :19:08.shakes and rocks and props. This is as close as it gets to Siegfried
:19:09. > :19:12.Sassoon's life as a soldier. His war diaries describing life in the
:19:13. > :19:19.trenches, some still bearing the dirt from the Battle of the Somme.
:19:20. > :19:24.If we lift the pages away, traces of mud in the corner where the binding
:19:25. > :19:28.has lifted up and you can see the groups, traces of mud inside the
:19:29. > :19:34.binding. We assume that this is from the Somme battlefield. In another
:19:35. > :19:39.journal, wax from a candle as the soldier scribbled away at night. You
:19:40. > :19:48.get a sense of him working away at that page, they and then. To have
:19:49. > :19:53.the artefact, they are in the physical form and the physical mark
:19:54. > :19:56.of the battle itself, it is extremely exciting. The experience
:19:57. > :20:02.is much more palpable for us, isn't it? Yes, and I think in the
:20:03. > :20:05.digitised version that still comes over, you can still get a sense of
:20:06. > :20:11.the experience that he's going through. Here in this picturesque
:20:12. > :20:16.part of Kent, this is the house where Siegfried Sassoon was born and
:20:17. > :20:20.where he grew up. He went to the Western front in 1915 as an
:20:21. > :20:25.enthusiastic soldier, but before long, he developed an opposition to
:20:26. > :20:34.the war, Britain down in hit his declaration. He said that the war
:20:35. > :20:43.had become a war of aggression. A soldier, a poet, whose passion for
:20:44. > :20:50.Patrick Dawson turned sour. `` for patriotism. They have let us have a
:20:51. > :20:53.quick look in here, I want to just show you the memorial, and tell you
