:00:21. > :00:34.He was going on to help othdr people. It is just senseless.
:00:35. > :00:37.We live with the latest. The police officer appearing to

:00:45. > :00:49.Open again by Christmas, th`t is the stated aim of the owners of
:00:50. > :00:53.Eastbourne here. We remember the sacrifices that many women lade

:01:09. > :01:11.A teacher of Aidan Brunger, who was killed while working

:01:14. > :01:16.Aidan who was from Hempstead in Kent, and another man,
:01:17. > :01:19.Neil Dalton, were both stabbed to death after a night out in Borneo.
:01:20. > :01:22.Today, a candlelit vigil was held at the scene of the stabbing.
:01:23. > :01:24.Four men who were arrested xesterday after the death
:01:25. > :01:32.of the medical student have already admitted to the crime.
:01:33. > :01:35.Messages on the flowers laid at the spot where the two friends fell make
:01:36. > :01:38.it clear that local people share the horror over what has happened.
:01:39. > :01:43.Back at home, those who knew Aidan Brunger,
:01:44. > :01:49.such as his former drum teacher are struggling to believe it.
:01:50. > :01:53.He was going on to help other people.
:01:54. > :01:59.I can't believe it has happdned to a young man like that.
:02:00. > :02:04.The news that the four men believed to be responsible have been arrested
:02:05. > :02:08.and have apparently confessdd will be little comfort for those mourning
:02:09. > :02:12.the loss of friends, such as staff and fellow sttdents
:02:13. > :02:19.All of the staff are absolutely devastated.
:02:20. > :02:22.These students have gone out to do their placement
:02:23. > :02:28.I heard about it this morning, we got a staff e`mail.
:02:29. > :02:35.Police are keen to stress that this kind of attack is rare here,
:02:36. > :02:38.and there is no suggestion of the involvement of gangs
:02:39. > :02:48.This is not a premeditated crime, but it occurred under
:02:49. > :02:56.So the people here are friendly but unfortunately this thing happened.
:02:57. > :03:01.All thoughts are with Aidan's family.
:03:02. > :03:04.I have to say, I do not know his family, but I cannot im`gine
:03:05. > :03:10.If you see me like this, what will it have done to them?
:03:11. > :03:13.Today, a candlelit vigil has been held at the location of the attack,
:03:14. > :03:21.uniting two towns and two countries in sorrow.
:03:22. > :03:23.Well, our reporter Sara Smith is outside the Rainham Mark Gr`mmar
:03:24. > :03:34.Sara, many more tributes behng paid today to the two students.
:03:35. > :03:42.Yes, through social media, huge numbers of people have exprdssed
:03:43. > :03:44.their sadness and offered their condolences to the families. People
:03:45. > :03:50.who knew the two men and people who have been moved by what happened.
:03:51. > :03:56.One former teacher said that Aidan's death was a sad loss to the
:03:57. > :04:04.world. A hospital in Borneo where they had just had their placement, a
:04:05. > :04:08.spokesperson said that they are offering counselling to the local
:04:09. > :04:11.students. And they are workhng with the British Embassy to see what they
:04:12. > :04:18.can do to offer support to the families.
:04:19. > :04:21.A fire tore through it just a week ago, leaving part of Eastbotrne s
:04:22. > :04:24.pier severely damaged, but the owners say it could be re`opened by
:04:25. > :04:27.Christmas, as they intend to start work on the wreck immediately.
:04:28. > :04:28.A third of the Victorian structure was damaged
:04:29. > :04:31.in the blaze, but at a meethng the leader of Eastbourne Cotncil
:04:32. > :04:34.and the pier's management announced they want to open the whole
:04:35. > :04:41.Ellie Price reports now from the town.
:04:42. > :04:51.144 years of history up in flames. Eight days on, the tidy up hs well
:04:52. > :04:57.on the way and the peer could even reopen by Christmas.
:04:58. > :05:00.It is not as bad as it looks. Although it will not be rebtilt by
:05:01. > :05:06.the end of the year, I think that you will find that people w`nts to
:05:07. > :05:08.look at what happened. It mhght even boost the numbers of people
:05:09. > :05:16.visiting. A emergency services were fhrst
:05:17. > :05:21.called at 313. The first fire crews arrived a few minutes later. Then 16
:05:22. > :05:25.fire engines were deployed to the scene.
:05:26. > :05:29.The challenge for us was to get the firefighters to the end of
:05:30. > :05:33.Eastbourne Pier said that they could stop it from spreading. Also to use
:05:34. > :05:37.the lifeboats are that we could use their water onto the top of
:05:38. > :05:41.Eastbourne Pier, but also the underside. That was wooden boarded,
:05:42. > :05:45.so what we were fighting thd fire on the top, if I was also spre`ding
:05:46. > :05:48.underneath. It took until the next day to put
:05:49. > :05:53.the fire out, but the owners say that it is thanks to the owners ``
:05:54. > :05:56.the firefighters saving two thirds of it that it will reopen so
:05:57. > :06:00.quickly. That was not the case in Hastings,
:06:01. > :06:06.which for years latest has not reopened. In the West Pier hn
:06:07. > :06:10.Brighton, it was damaged bexond repair. Today, people welcoled the
:06:11. > :06:17.good news. It is great for the people who have
:06:18. > :06:20.worked so hard. Just phenomdnal It is good stuff.
:06:21. > :06:24.I think it is great. It is one of the biggest attractions of
:06:25. > :06:28.Eastbourne. Absolutely fantastic. We love it. It
:06:29. > :06:32.is a great shame to see it like this.
:06:33. > :06:35.As the structural engineers continued their assessment, the
:06:36. > :06:40.police are still investigathng and treating the fire as suspichous
:06:41. > :06:43.Uncertain times for Newhaven as doubts grow about the future
:06:44. > :06:57.A police officer who was filmed punching the face of a shoplifter
:06:58. > :06:59.in Canterbury is not to be prosecuted for assault.
:07:00. > :07:01.The footage shows uniformed officers restraining and repeatedly punching
:07:02. > :07:04.Jack Harbour in the back room of a department store.
:07:05. > :07:13.You may find some the images in Simon Jones' report disttrbing.
:07:14. > :07:20.Detained at Debenhams, this is what happened to the shoplifter Jack
:07:21. > :07:24.Harbour. The officer appears to punch him and he falls to the
:07:25. > :07:30.ground. But PC right will not be prosecuted for assault. Jack Harbour
:07:31. > :07:35.would not talk on camera, btt he said that he wanted something done
:07:36. > :07:39.about it, it was out of orddr. Reasonable forces when a police
:07:40. > :07:46.officer goes to an incident and he is faced with either someond who is
:07:47. > :07:50.threatening or causing any kind of injury to anyone else. He then has
:07:51. > :07:55.to decide what type of four C needs to use to stop that individtal and
:07:56. > :08:02.it has to be that force onlx and nothing above that.
:08:03. > :08:07.The CCTV fails to show what happened in the run`up to the incidents. Jack
:08:08. > :08:13.Harbour said that he snorted but he did not spit at the offices. We
:08:14. > :08:16.showed the footage to a forler constable.
:08:17. > :08:20.It is inconceivable that a lember of the public or me watching this film
:08:21. > :08:25.and looking at it would automatically think that is not just
:08:26. > :08:29.restraining a prisoner. That is not just using powers of restrahnt, that
:08:30. > :08:35.is going over the top in wh`t you are doing. But, as I said bdfore, it
:08:36. > :08:39.is the whole circumstances that we never see that provoke something
:08:40. > :08:43.there that was so serious that the police officer took the acthon that
:08:44. > :08:47.he did. The CPS said that it had carefully
:08:48. > :08:51.reviewed the evidence looking at the use of force. It said that there was
:08:52. > :08:56.not satisfied that there was sufficient evidence to provhde a
:08:57. > :09:00.realistic prospect of conviction. Two other officers have been charged
:09:01. > :09:07.with conspiring to convert the course of justice, it is alleged
:09:08. > :09:10.that they failed to reveal CCTV footage of the incident that took
:09:11. > :09:16.place here. Facing no charges, PC Brett right
:09:17. > :09:20.remains suspended from duty, but that is under review.

:10:53. > :10:59.A picturesque scene in the town but what people here want is a bustling
:11:00. > :11:04.port with a popular ferry sdrvice that is guaranteed to stay.
:11:05. > :11:08.The one thing that keeps Newhaven on the map is the ferry. There is
:11:09. > :11:14.nothing here anymore. It has got to be another hit.
:11:15. > :11:18.Newhaven has had it quite b`d, they are trying to regenerate it, but it
:11:19. > :11:25.really needs to stay here. Opened in 1847, the ferry sdrvice
:11:26. > :11:28.has a long and complicated past It has close several times when
:11:29. > :11:33.companies pulled out and despite it carrying more than 270,000
:11:34. > :11:37.passengers last year, the contract to run it expires at the end of this

:11:43. > :11:46.The French owners of the ferry link here in New Haven are subsidising it
:11:47. > :11:52.to the tune of 20 million etros a year. The company that runs it says
:11:53. > :11:58.that the operational condithons of this line are difficult, but says it
:11:59. > :12:00.will do its best to help secure its future.
:12:01. > :12:05.Now that calls for much mord to be done to save it.
:12:06. > :12:12.For the area itself, it is essential. It is the heart `nd soul.
:12:13. > :12:16.It is here because it is a port For that reason, you need to kedp the

:14:35. > :14:41.the hospital in northern Fr`nce in the summer of 1916. My mothdr was at
:14:42. > :14:47.the hospital as an orderly, because her boyfriend had been killdd and
:14:48. > :14:53.she wanted to do something for the war. She gave up her stage career to
:14:54. > :14:57.go and work in the hospital, having no training whatsoever. She found
:14:58. > :15:02.herself carrying stretchers up flights of stairs, dressing the
:15:03. > :15:08.winded as they came in from the Battle of the Somme and even helping
:15:09. > :15:13.with operations. They were `lmost entirely French, because thd British

:15:18. > :15:24.the leader was a woman. Thex used to ask my mother to sing to thdm. They
:15:25. > :15:29.learnt the words to songs even though they were French. My mother

:15:43. > :15:51.they thanked her for her wonderful service.
:15:52. > :15:56.She got a medal like the troops had. My mother survived the war `nd she
:15:57. > :16:01.had a long and successful acting career, acting alongside Ralph
:16:02. > :16:05.Richardson. The photograph hs important to me because it shows a
:16:06. > :16:11.different side of my mother than the theatrical woman. It shows dnormous
:16:12. > :16:16.bravery, the way that she w`s able to come `` overcome the tragedy in

:17:34. > :17:39.Paralympian was the first to finish. He went down the road the wrong way.
:17:40. > :17:45.I got lost, which was quite funny. I said that I was looking for the road
:17:46. > :17:51.and they said that I was not from around here, I pronounced it
:17:52. > :17:57.incorrectly. That is where H went wrong. The charity was founded by

:18:53. > :18:57.adventure. Some of those taking part are
:18:58. > :19:01.ordinary volunteers, others are professional athletes like Larion
:19:02. > :19:06.Bartoli. Usually when I play sport I am by
:19:07. > :19:10.myself, but we're all trying to help each other. We are different ages

:19:15. > :19:23.Training has already taken them here, all in preparation for the

:20:07. > :20:09.to New York to have her winning script performed before the cream
:20:10. > :20:26.of the US and UK TV industrhes. Oh, yes, of course you did. She was
:20:27. > :20:31.a very attractive girl. Harry Enfield and Paul Whitdhouse,
:20:32. > :20:36.two giants of British comedx. Producing this sketch was
:20:37. > :20:41.Brighton's Izzy Mant, who s`ys it is one of her proudest achievelents.
:20:42. > :20:45.They lost some of people's favourite characters in the show.
:20:46. > :20:49.This was a spin on it when we bought it would be funny to meet their
:20:50. > :20:55.wives, but their wives were also played by Dan themselves. It was
:20:56. > :20:59.very fun to do. Shall we have another one. Shall we
:21:00. > :21:12.wait until the children havd gone? Also standing out our Peep Show
:21:13. > :21:16.I remember it, it was crazy. But now she is turning her hand to
:21:17. > :21:23.writing, and her anonymous script about two female flatmates who
:21:24. > :21:28.struggle to enjoy their one day off a week has won an award. Thdy will
:21:29. > :21:34.have their work played out `t the New York television Festival. That
:21:35. > :21:38.is part of the prize that wd are most excited about.
:21:39. > :21:41.It is so useful to see your script read out loud and actors brhng
:21:42. > :21:45.something to the characters that you never thought with there. I think
:21:46. > :21:50.that we will learn a lot from that. One of the things that they need to
:21:51. > :21:54.get is a network, it is being able to talk to people in the right
:21:55. > :21:59.context. Said that is reallx where the initial idea for the wrhting

:22:06. > :22:10.bringing, her funny family `nd amusing teachers helped bring her to
:22:11. > :22:14.comedy. What makes something funny?
:22:15. > :22:19.That is a difficult question. So many things. Funny characters is
:22:20. > :22:26.usually at the heart of it. People that you believe in who floored and
:22:27. > :22:32.whose floors you identify whth and seeing those people pushed to an

:22:38. > :22:42.And now she is on to the serious business of creating it frol
:22:43. > :22:51.scratch. A talented lady. And today there has
