Dame Kelly Holmes believes sporting mentors can help turn them around.

And latest TV comes to Brighton but does this local alternative have the

vision to succeed? It comes

after a coroner recorded a verdict of accidental death in the case

of Captain Ben Babington`Browne, who died when a Canadian Forces

helicopter crashed during take off. An investigation

into the crash found the helicopter was overweight and had reduced

performance in the heat. Captain Babington`Browne,

from Maidstone, died when the Canadian Forces helicopter he was

a passenger in crashed while taking Speaking after today's hearing, his

mother said the helicopter was inappropriate. This was the case of

the wrong helicopter for this particular mission. It was

underpowered and dangerously overloaded. More experienced pilots

would have known this and acted accordingly.

An official Canadian report into the crash, published in 2012,

concluded that an intense dust ball was created

The pilot flying suffered a loss of situational awareness

The investigation found that the training provided to

the pilot flying was insufficient for dealing with such a situation.

Just can build up very, very quickly. It involves the airframe

and there are techniques that we lead `` that we need to use in order

to clear the dust. Captain Babington Browne had

volunteered for the six month tour of Afghanistan and worked

in the headquarters of NATO's a gifted leader,

a man with the world at his feet. He set himself endless challenges

and was a dedicated officer who loved his job in the Army. He

achieved more in his short life than most can manage in a lifetime. I am

privileged to have been his mum. A board of enquiry conducted by the

Canadians made 19 recommendations following the crash. The Canadian

authorities did not attend the hearing, nor respond to the

coroner's finding. And Jon is outside the

Archbishop's Palace in Maidstone The Canadian authorities haven't

been fully cooperative, have they? That is right. The coroner said

today that the Canadian authorities were moving at a glacial speed in

responding to his requests for information. He told the inquest

that it took them more than a year to come back to him, a delay that

said `` that he said added significantly to the burden on the

family. When they did come back to him, they were refusing to allow any

witnesses to the crash to attend the inquest and wouldn't even identify

them, meaning there were lots of an item `` unanswered questions about

what had happened. Hundreds

of treasure hunters have descended on Folkestone beach tonight

in a bid to get their hands on one ?10,000 worth of the precious metal

has been hidden by German artist, And the best bit is,

if you find a bar, you can keep it. The artistic stunt is part

of the launch The catch is that the artist has

also buried lump metal as well. Let's go live now to Robin Gibson,

who's on the beach. Robin, this is really getting

major attention now, isn't it? Look at this. Let me take you on a

360 degrees view of Folkestone beach. It is crawling with people

tonight. They have really responded to the idea that there is ?10,000

worth of gold in this speech. This is what has happened. What a day it

has been. Was there ever an art show to match this? It has produced

crowds of people intent on finding treasure on the beach. I have got my

shovel so I am here to win big. Any luck yet? Not yet. I am digging

here. It is the idea of a Burling artist and those lucky enough to

find a bar of gold can keep it. The price of gold is going up and down

like a yo`yo, so maybe it well be worth more by the time it has been

found. We will never know whether all the gold has been found or not

because people won't say. Gold digging has overhung everything

hours today as part of the cultural festival. This is another one of the

art installations. I came across the idea and thought that one person

will be here every day of the camp. A ride in a wind powered lift. It

will be a popular attraction, nestling in the peace of a railway

bridge. And here is an eco`garden. It is a completely authentic hop

garden. We have got authentic hop garden poles and this stringing is

an antique form of stringing hops. Yoko Ono, John Lennon's widow, has

divided a flag on top of the grand hotel but nothing can quite matched

the gold. Can we be absolutely sure people are looking for genuine gold?

I don't think they will be disappointed. If they are, there

will be a huge number of people disappointed. The organisers are

adamant this is for real. That there are 30 bars of gold buried somewhere

on this speech. Like you are varied intent. What is going on? Are you

absolutely sure there will be gold? I hope so. How long have you been

digging? Either an hour. We are hoping to find gold. Have you been

looking for gold? Yes but we haven't found any yet. There is a huge hole

over here. These two guys over here, I have been absolutely

amazed. Using to be setting off for France. We are building a moat

around the town. Are you hoping to find some gold? It is a consumer

society and I am skint, so fingers crossed at claymation muck it is a

fantastic atmosphere and everyone is hoping to get lucky. `` so fingers

crossed! If you strike gold, please let us know:

Coming up in a moment, a footballer knocked unconscious but the

ambulance did not turn up for over an hour.

Beers over how the service is coping with demand. `` fears.

Sussex Police have been left baffled by the discovery

of a huge quantity of stolen items and weapons in a pond.

More than 850 pieces were found, including handguns,

knives and a machete in the woodland pond in Worthing.

Police are forensically examining the weapons recovered

in a bid to see if they have been used in crimes and are hoping to

Finders keepers, so the old adage goes, and so this dog thought when

he emerged with what seemed to be a jacket and cuff links. He just

jumped in. Head under, fetching what I thought was a jacket. I don't know

whether it was a bad or something and he came out with a box with cuff

links in it. After his discovery, police divers had their turn. Police

believe this call has come from at least eight burglaries across the

county over the last year. These would have been the region, chucked

unceremoniously into the pond. This could be a dumping ground for

criminals, after handguns, knives, a machete and even a bayonet were

found. Some of the weapons may have been used in crime but that is

something we need to follow up. We will send some of the weapons to be

forensically examined. Everything has been cleaned and forensically

examined and some things have already been identified. Whilst they

may not be worth a huge amount, they could be worth something very

important sentimentally and they may wish to thank the dog.

An easyJet plane carrying 157 passengers had to make

an emergency landing at Gatwick Airport earlier after smoke

The Airbus aircraft, which was en route from Liverpool to

Naples, touched down safely at Gatwick around 7.20 this morning.

Passengers have since completed their journey to Italy.

Police say an inmate who went on the run from a Kent open prison

23 year old Liam White ` who's serving a sentence

for robbery ` left Standford Hill on the Isle of Sheppey on Monday

A man who set up booby traps to protect a cannabis factory at

his Kent home is starting a prison sentence of two years and 10 months.

When police officers raided 35 year`old Christopher Rappoport's

property in Hawkhurst last year they found more than a kilo

South East Coast ambulance staff need extra support in order to keep

the service running safely. The service is receiving an extra 150

calls a day compared to last year. As the figures were released, it

emerged that a footballer knocked unconscious had to drive himself to

hospital later because the ambulance took more than an hour to turn up.

Back at home recovering after having his face smashed in a football

match. We clashed heads, apparently, and I landed on his

knee, so I was concussed and my nose or ring with blood. Later, we

discovered that my cheekbone and nose were broken. He says he was

unconscious for 20 minutes or so. An ambulance was called. The ambulance

didn't show and my mum had to drive me in my car. The ambulance service

said: Some people might say you could wait

for an ambulance. It was not a critical injury. I think that's why

they rang the ambulance saying, it is just in fashion and facial

injuries, but when I got to hospital it was a lot more dangerous than

they thought. Since January, the ambulance service has been receiving

annexed to 130 `` 150 calls compared to last year each day. We are saying

you need to look at the resourcing, make sure you have enough trained

ambulance crews, not from the private sector. We need to make sure

there is an increase in ambulance crews to provide the service for the

Southeast. The ambulance service says that immediate amulets

responsible always be assigned to serious cases. It says it will also

advise people to make their own way to accident and emergency if

appropriate. Thousands of young children across

the south`east could miss out on free nursery places at a time when

the government is introducing 15 hours of free childcare for families

earning less than ?16,000 a year. A freedom of information request has

revealed that Kent has one of the biggest shortfalls of nursery places

in the country. Nationally, an extra 260,000 children will be eligible

for free childcare. In Kent, an extra 1100 places are needed to meet

the demand. In East Sussex, there could be 471 children with no

nursery place. Nurseries say they are already under pressure, with

some having a six`month waiting list for two`year`olds. There is a huge

waiting list already. We have been here three years and we are at full

capacity already. We are ring 70 Six Place nursery school. Not all places

are struggling. West Sussex has a surplus of places. Similarly,

families and Medway should find a nursery space, with 1100 spare

places. But there aren't very many spare places in Brighton, just six.

Charities say there is a lack of funding from the government which is

impacting on parents lives. We have basically been given the thumbs

down. No places until he is three. I would like to return to work but I

can't because I have nowhere for him to go and I can't afford private

childcare. I am joined now by Mr Leeson. Is

there a danger that you are about to let down hundreds of children from

poorer backgrounds? No, we have got a target to provide 6500 laces for

two`year`olds who are eligible under this scheme and there are 5400

places. The demand that we have has not yet exceeded the supply. We are

keeping place with all of the `` we are keeping pace with all of the

places needed and we have an extra 1000 places becoming available in

September and October, so I am confident we can provide every

eligible to your old with a free nursery place as we go into the

early autumn. How long will it take to provide those places, this comes

into force on Monday, so parents would have hoped those places would

already be open and available. At the moment, we have got a bit of

surplus. We have got 82% of the 6500 places and only 79% of those have

been taken up. But when this starts on Monday, 82% is not 100%, so there

will be lots of children without places on Monday. We are not aware

at the moment of any family who have approached us for a place that

cannot have a free nursery place for their two`year`old. Any family which

is concerned it cannot find a place should contact Kent county council

straightaway and I guarantee that we will find them the free nursery

place they are untitled two. Thank you.

The government scheme comes into force next week. As well as Kent

county council, East Sussex county council says it will make up the

shortfall by September next year. It is 6:45pm. A current has ruled a

verdict of accidental death after a soldier from Maidstone died in

Afghanistan. Canadian `` a Canadian forces helicopter that he was a

passenger in went out of control. Also tonight, a new way of looking

at Brighton and Latest TV promises that if you make it, they will show

it. And dry or more rain out of the sky?

Almost one fifth of people who have never had a job and dropped out of

education believe they will never be able to find work. That is the

shocking finding of a survey carried out by the Dame Kelly Holmes trust.

But she believes those youngsters can turn their lives around three

sport. She has been paring some of them up with mentors.

Jake has been looking for work since he was 16. He is now 22. I have

never had a job. Why is that? Lack of GCSEs. Have you turned down any

jobs? Would you take lower paid jobs? I would but I have not been

offered any. There are 108,000 young people in the south`east not in

education, employment or training. 18`year`old Charlie is also from

Margate but hopes things will be different. He is now providing for

his girlfriend and two`year`old son as he trains to be a plasterer. He

is being mentored by a former Olympic athlete. I had no confidence

and didn't know what I wanted to do and the Dame Kelly Holmes course

gave me the confidence to go out and look for something to do. With

athletes, they go through what everyone else goes through. You have

hard times and good times and you have do adjust yourself to where you

want to be. The 10th anniversary of her double Olympic gold gives Kelly

Holmes the chance to say young people and athletes can learn from

each other. I spent my whole early days feeling as if I wasn't as good

as anyone else, sitting outside the classroom with everything going over

my head. I didn't think I was achieving until my PE teacher came

to me and said, Kelly, you are a great runner, you could be really

good at something but you must bakers and believe in yourself. That

is the very ethos she says young people need to succeed in the

workplace. Within the last hour, a new type of

local TV service has launched in Brighton and Hove, promising

dedicated TV for the city. Called Latest TV, it is funded in part by

the government and the BBC. John Young is an Brighton now. They have

set themselves quite a task, haven't they? They certainly have, on a 24

hours a day seven days a week. They broadcast on free view Channel

eight. Today, it was the turn of Brighton to go live. They have been

waiting four years for this moment. The news and entertainment service

based in a club, with a newsroom that turns back into a bar by night.

This afternoon, 18 you sensed just wanted to get on air. On the sports

desk they said they were very positive. We are really proud. There

is a real buzz about the place. It has been a long time coming. We have

been doing stuff on line for years `` online for years and we have been

building up towards this day. In a city like Brighton, soundproofing

near a studio can be a problem, but they say they understand this as

they also understand local businesses. Local businesses need

another outlet to present themselves on TV in an affordable way. London

and Grimsby are two of several that have launched already with Maidstone

and Tunbridge in the pipeline but viewing figures in London have not

been promising. The more local information there is, these more

citizens will be engaged. The reality is that has been difficult

to get people to watch. Much more difficult than people hoped it would

be. It wait to be for everyone, we know that, but we feel there is an

appetite in Brighton to have local people on board. We put that to test

at the pub over the road. Because the news coverage is quite broad, it

is nice to see things that are opening `` happening in UI in town.

It is interesting to hear about that. That is one happy viewer. The

presenters, producers and advertisers will be hoping she is

the first of many. It is all about numbers. Evidence today showing what

the problems could be. The local newspaper has recently lost 13% of

their readership. The people at Latest TV will be hoping that is

because they want their news on TV. Earlier in the programme, we told

you that hundreds of people have gone down to Folkestone beach in the

hope of striking gold because a German artist has buried ?10,000

worth of gold in the sand there. And it is a case of finders keepers

but the catches as well as the gold bars, he has buried lumps of metal.

Our reporter is there. Has anyone struck gold yet? Well, we haven't

heard the cry go up but everyone is extremely happy at the moment. We

have children with buckets and spades, mums and dads with garden

spades and people with metal detectors. Everyone is still the

king but we haven't had that cry of gold just yet. That is in line with

what the organisers have said. They may never know if this gold is found

because people may want to keep it to themselves. As Robin got his

metal detector down there? Perhaps he has stashed it all

himself. You know he we are only two thirds of the way through the year,

we are already at 100% of our reign for greater. I think it is high time

we got some high pressure. It looks like that is on the cards. As we

head towards the weekend, I think the low pressures will be pushed off

towards the north and high pressure will build over us, particularly in

the south of England and we will see the weather improving. It will not

be wall`to`wall sunshine but we will see the weather settling down and

becoming drier and brighter, with sunny spells as well. Mostly dry,

hopefully. There are a few crafty showers out there at the moment, but

many of us will have a dry evening. After a mostly dry day, a few

splashes offering out there but most places will have a dry night. The

main feature tonight is the wind. It is really picking up. Overnight

tonight it will increase to 20 or 25 mph. If you have fruit trees, you

might want to head out and pick some. Otherwise they will be plucked

off the trees by the strong winds. The winds will remain with us

tomorrow. A very breezy Friday but it should be mostly dry, with sunny

spells and temperatures up to 20 or 21 degrees. After that, into

tomorrow evening, we have a drizzly duo coming through. Not bringing us

too much rain but some places are already online for having the most

wet August since 1917. Hopefully that weather front tomorrow when

much more than a few millimetres on it. After Saturday, the weather

settles down. That is all. See you tomorrow.

Go away if you don't me to speak to you like that!

Most schools exclude disruptive pupils.

I ain't putting up with this any more.

But one school takes them in and promises five GCSEs.
