:01:22. > :01:23.claims doctors failed to diagnose her pancreatic

:01:26. > :01:28.Elizabeth Parker from Faversham says her inoperable condition

:01:29. > :01:31.was only spotted when she was taken to hospital in extreme pain.

:01:46. > :01:55.Elizabeth Parker this week began arranging her own funeral.

:01:56. > :02:10.For the last two nights when we go to bed we just cry and hold

:02:11. > :02:14.I can't believe it because because it is so...

:02:15. > :02:19.I feel the world is turning but we have no part in it,

:02:20. > :02:25.Mrs Parker says it took too long to diagnose

:02:26. > :02:29.She first visited her GP practice in September last year when

:02:30. > :02:33.She declined an endoscopy because she has a sensitive gag reflex.

:02:34. > :02:38.During four further visits to her GP she was referred for an ultrasound

:02:39. > :02:41.test the following month and stomach x-rays and they all proved

:02:42. > :02:48.inconclusive and the ultrasound did not detect the cancer.

:02:49. > :02:50.It wasn't until January this year when

:02:51. > :02:53.she visited an emergency clinic and blood tests showed she

:02:54. > :02:56.She visited a private hospital for a CT scan,

:02:57. > :03:02.after which she was given 3-6 months to live.

:03:03. > :03:04.Mrs Parker is not certain earlier diagnosis could

:03:05. > :03:10.Certainly I would have had more warning of what was to come and then

:03:11. > :03:12.I would have had longer time to spend with my family

:03:13. > :03:17.One cancer charity says pancreatic cancer can

:03:18. > :03:31.You do hear stories of people going back

:03:32. > :03:33.and forth to the doctors and waiting for time

:03:34. > :03:34.to get different scans and

:03:35. > :03:36.things before they can get that diagnosis.

:03:37. > :03:38.Delays like this mean pancreatic cancer can advance quite

:03:39. > :03:40.quickly and by that stage it is often too

:03:41. > :03:44.she won't be around one enough to see her four-year-old grandson grow

:03:45. > :03:58.Mrs Parker has battled cancer once before, John? Yes, she has been in

:03:59. > :04:01.remission for 18 years after being successfully treated for

:04:02. > :04:05.non-Hodgkin's lymphoma but this cancer took four monster diagnose

:04:06. > :04:11.after she was presented to the GP with pain, weight loss and

:04:12. > :04:20.knowledge. -- four months to diagnose. The pancreas was obscured

:04:21. > :04:26.and a test was inconclusive and she refused the Invesco -- endoscopy --

:04:27. > :04:32.endoscopy because she has a sensitive gag reflex. Pancreatic

:04:33. > :04:37.cancer is hard to diagnose and a charity says only 8% of patients are

:04:38. > :04:42.diagnosed early enough to have a reasonable chance at survival.

:04:43. > :04:44.Kent and Surrey's Motorsport legend John Surtees has

:04:45. > :04:48.Uniquely, Surtees was a world champion in both Formula One,

:04:49. > :04:51.He'd been admitted to hospital in London in February

:04:52. > :04:59.Born in Tatsfield near Biggin Hill in 1934, he was one of the most

:05:00. > :05:03.In 2015 he bought the Buckmore Park circuit near Rochester,

:05:04. > :05:05.after setting up a foundation in memory of his son Henry,

:05:06. > :05:09.who was killed in a freak accident, racing at Brands Hatch.

:05:10. > :05:15.Piers Hopkirk reports on an extraordinary life and legacy.

:05:16. > :05:19.Hot favourite after wins in 1958 and '59, number

:05:20. > :05:28.John Surtees was a unique breed of sporting hero.

:05:29. > :05:31.The only man to have won the Grand Prix World Championship

:05:32. > :05:35.An achievement yet to be surpassed in more than half a century.

:05:36. > :05:38.It is a hammer blow for me and for British

:05:39. > :05:42.He is undoubtedly one of the greatest people ever lived

:05:43. > :05:48.The son of a motorbike dealer, he won his first race aged 17.

:05:49. > :05:55.A glittering career on two wheels followed, climaxing perhaps

:05:56. > :05:57.with his hat-trick of Isle of Mann TT wins.

:05:58. > :05:59.Is this your life ambition now achieved?

:06:00. > :06:04.I don't set out with definite ambitions, I just try

:06:05. > :06:11.In his Ferrari, John Surtees, number seven, going like a bomb

:06:12. > :06:15.and eventually leading the ten cars that are still in the race.

:06:16. > :06:18.In 1961 he switched the cars and won the Formula 1 crown

:06:19. > :06:22.He was the only man to cross over from bikes to cars and I think that

:06:23. > :06:25.just gives a very positive sign to people that anything is possible.

:06:26. > :06:35.What John Surtees did, it was inspiring.

:06:36. > :06:37.When his racing days were over, motorsport

:06:38. > :06:45.It was the basis of his business in Edenbridge, and in 2015 he bought

:06:46. > :06:54.His later life was touched by tragedy.

:06:55. > :06:56.His son Henry was killed in a freak accident at Brands Hatch.

:06:57. > :07:01.It prompted the creation of the Henry Surtees

:07:02. > :07:04.John Surtees was awarded a CBE last year and he remains

:07:05. > :07:06.a motorsport legend, with a permanent place

:07:07. > :07:13.By the time I was retiring I still had not probably

:07:14. > :07:17.reach my absolute peak, but I have achieved my main ambition

:07:18. > :07:23.is because the most important thing I have to do in life is not satisfy

:07:24. > :07:33.John Surtees had strong connections with the south-east,

:07:34. > :07:35.and tributes to what he did here, and around the world

:07:36. > :07:46.He really was something of a hero and the tributes reflect that. The

:07:47. > :07:51.sports minister said, devastating news about John Surtees, a real

:07:52. > :07:56.national and local hero. Damon Hill tweeted, we have lost a truly great

:07:57. > :08:02.motorsport legend. The most touching tribute came from his family who

:08:03. > :08:06.said, he said set a real example of someone who kept pushing themselves

:08:07. > :08:09.at their peak and one who continued fighting until the very end.

:08:10. > :08:11.And you can see more reaction and leave your tributes

:08:12. > :08:13.to John Surtees at our live page bbc.co.uk/kent

:08:14. > :08:28.Coming up, patience is a virtue and one can GP surgery believes they

:08:29. > :08:34.have found a way of cutting the choose to speak to a doctor.

:08:35. > :08:38.The neighbour of a young woman who was brutally murdered

:08:39. > :08:41.in Portslade has told the jury how they heard arguing and glass

:08:42. > :08:43.being smashed in the house a few weeks before the killing.

:08:44. > :08:46.The body of Shana Grice was discovered in August last year.

:08:47. > :08:49.Her throat had been cut, and the bedroom set on fire.

:08:50. > :08:51.A former boyfriend, Michael Lane, denies her murder.

:08:52. > :08:55.John Young reports from Lewes Crown Court.

:08:56. > :08:57.A picture emerged today of turbulent relationships in Shana Grice's life,

:08:58. > :09:03.According to a friend, the defendant, Michael Lane,

:09:04. > :09:07.had been pestering her with texts after their relationship ended,

:09:08. > :09:12.and on another occasion he pulled her hair during a row.

:09:13. > :09:18.A neighbour then described overhearing a late-night row

:09:19. > :09:22.at her house about three weeks before her death, when she heard two

:09:23. > :09:25.male voices and a female voice and then smashing glass,

:09:26. > :09:26.before seeing the other ex-boyfriend,

:09:27. > :09:31.A few nights later she saw Shana Grice kicking and shouting

:09:32. > :09:34.at him as she was taken from the property in an ambulance.

:09:35. > :09:37.The court then heard from an older friend of the defendant,

:09:38. > :09:39.a lay preacher, who used to drink with him from time

:09:40. > :09:48.On the morning that Shana Grice's body was discovered,

:09:49. > :09:52.he saw him out walking and waved to him but the defendant did not

:09:53. > :09:54.wave back and appeared to move away quickly.

:09:55. > :10:00.But the defendant did then sent him a friendly text

:10:01. > :10:04.That same morning the neighbour heard a female shout from next

:10:05. > :10:08.A couple of hours later she saw a man wearing a high-vis

:10:09. > :10:10.vest over his bare chest outside the house.

:10:11. > :10:14.Five days after that a police officer saw the defendant running

:10:15. > :10:17.into a field carrying a pair of white trainers which

:10:18. > :10:23.The right shoe carried Shana Grice's blood.

:10:24. > :10:36.This is the third day of the case, how long is it expected to last?

:10:37. > :10:42.The judge suggested to the jury it could last until the last week of

:10:43. > :10:47.March and interestingly at the beginning of the case he explained

:10:48. > :10:52.to the jury what was lying ahead and said, do not be worried and did not

:10:53. > :10:56.get fed up if it is overwhelming at the beginning. He said a trial is

:10:57. > :11:00.like a jigsaw and the picture emerges over time. He said please

:11:01. > :11:05.avoid reaching conclusions until you hear all the evidence. Next year we

:11:06. > :11:12.will hear more from the prosecution and then the defence make their case

:11:13. > :11:13.after that and explain why in the a few Michael Lane is not the killer

:11:14. > :11:19.of Shana Grice. -- in their view. A teacher from Faversham has been

:11:20. > :11:21.charged with child grooming. James Hope, who's 38,

:11:22. > :11:23.is Assistant Head of Kent County Council's Virtual School

:11:24. > :11:25.for children in care. He was arrested in

:11:26. > :11:27.September last year. He's due to appear at Maidstone

:11:28. > :11:29.Magistrates Court next month. Police have charged a 34-year-old

:11:30. > :11:32.with murdering a man whose body was found in a public car park

:11:43. > :11:45.as from the effects of a fire. Dean Lewis, of no fixed address,

:11:46. > :11:50.has been charged with his murder. For more than 70 years,

:11:51. > :11:53.the Goodwin Sands off Dover have been the final resting place

:11:54. > :11:55.of scores of RAF heroes who gave their lives defending

:11:56. > :11:58.the nation in the Battle of Britain. Now the battle to preserve

:11:59. > :12:02.their remains is turning Dover Harbour Board is proposing

:12:03. > :12:05.to dredge almost four million tonnes And today a marine organisation

:12:06. > :12:15.backed by a 13,000 signature petition says the site,

:12:16. > :12:17.five miles offshore, Our Environment Correspondent

:12:18. > :12:28.Yvette Austin reports. The minister of defence said

:12:29. > :12:32.disturbing the final resting place of military personnel should not be

:12:33. > :12:36.allowed. The Goodwin Sands, a series of

:12:37. > :12:40.famous sandbanks created by the tide in the Straits of Dover. The skies

:12:41. > :12:45.above them would filled with action during the Battle of Britain. Many

:12:46. > :12:50.airmen from both sides lost their lives when their planes were shot

:12:51. > :12:57.down. That is the conservation zone and that is long strip is the

:12:58. > :13:02.proposed dredging area. There is a controversial plan to dredge the

:13:03. > :13:06.Sands and campaigners are unhappy. There is about 60 planes and eight

:13:07. > :13:09.the people we know just from the Battle of Britain and that is the

:13:10. > :13:15.final resting place and we should leave them alone -- 80 people. It is

:13:16. > :13:21.around ten miles long and four miles wide and at low tide -- low tide

:13:22. > :13:26.much is exposed and on a sunny day they can be seen from the shore. As

:13:27. > :13:31.the tide rises they disappear and become a hidden hazard for ships and

:13:32. > :13:38.their crew. It is estimated since records began in 1298 some 2000

:13:39. > :13:45.ships have been wrecked here with thousands of sea men losing their

:13:46. > :13:49.lives and now a 16 page legal document has been submitted to the

:13:50. > :13:54.Defence Secretary Colin for the whole of the area to be designated

:13:55. > :14:00.as a controlled area -- calling for the whole area, so more ships and

:14:01. > :14:07.aircraft located there will be fully protected. 1p to feel commercial

:14:08. > :14:12.interests are ruining the game -- 1p to feel. And the impress of the

:14:13. > :14:17.ex-service men and families and the fact it is a war grave is kind of

:14:18. > :14:24.being overlooked. Dover Harbour Board says it is vital to its ?250

:14:25. > :14:28.million plan to transform the area and there will be increased cargo

:14:29. > :14:32.handling space, you marina and waterfront. It will be the

:14:33. > :14:35.Government Medina Maritime organisation that will decide

:14:36. > :14:37.whether or not the dredging can go ahead.

:14:38. > :14:40.Our top story tonight: A Kent woman who's been told she has less

:14:41. > :14:42.than six months to live, claims doctors failed

:14:43. > :14:45.to diagnose her pancreatic cancer, despite her being seen

:14:46. > :14:49.Elizabeth Parker from Faversham says her inoperable condition

:14:50. > :14:52.was only spotted when she was taken to hospital in extreme pain -

:14:53. > :15:02.From Led Zeppelin to Pink Floyd, meet the man who created album

:15:03. > :15:05.covers for some of the biggest bands in the world.

:15:06. > :15:10.And the weekend is one of two halves, sunny and mile on Saturday

:15:11. > :15:13.and wet and windy on Sunday. The details later in the programme. --

:15:14. > :15:28.sunny and mild. One GP in surgery in Kent has

:15:29. > :15:32.introduced a new system would they say they can guarantee patients will

:15:33. > :15:37.speak to a doctor on the day they need one. Latest figures show the

:15:38. > :15:41.average waiting time is currently two weeks for an appointment and in

:15:42. > :15:47.2015 more than 17,000 patients in Kent had to fight a new surgery

:15:48. > :15:52.because several had closed across the county, in Sussex four surgery

:15:53. > :15:55.is closed. Kingsnorth medical practice say they are found a way to

:15:56. > :15:57.relieve the pressure and have been talking to our reporter for

:15:58. > :16:05.tonight's special report. Doctor Jim Kelly is calling back

:16:06. > :16:10.one of his patients. They called this morning wanting

:16:11. > :16:12.an appointment but were happy to wait for a call-back

:16:13. > :16:14.from a senior GP. The fact that you have got

:16:15. > :16:17.a bit of extra pressure This practice believes no one

:16:18. > :16:21.should see a doctor about speaking to a doctor

:16:22. > :16:23.on the phone first. They took 104 calls today

:16:24. > :16:30.from patients and were able to offer She would have been happy with that

:16:31. > :16:35.because she would not have had to come over to our practice,

:16:36. > :16:38.we would have been happy because she wouldn't be coughing and spluttering

:16:39. > :16:41.over other patients, who potentially have got immunodeficiency and might

:16:42. > :16:44.be sat in the waiting area and would Everyone wins and the NHS wins

:16:45. > :16:48.because it has taken three minutes People often

:16:49. > :16:55.struggle to get a GP Many surgeries are closing

:16:56. > :16:59.and many GPs are retiring or We did a survey last

:17:00. > :17:02.year that showed that GP waiting times are up to two weeks

:17:03. > :17:06.for the first time ever and patients are struggling to find appointments

:17:07. > :17:11.because of general pressure on practices and there is not enough

:17:12. > :17:17.GPs, for a start, and patient But people's experiences

:17:18. > :17:20.of getting a GP You've got to phone at 8:30am

:17:21. > :17:26.and you pick the phone up and phone and you get the

:17:27. > :17:33.engaged sound for ages. I have just had my blood test

:17:34. > :17:42.and I can't fault them. Not for myself but for

:17:43. > :17:44.the kids I always get an emergency but for

:17:45. > :17:46.myself they will just get a doctor to ring

:17:47. > :17:48.you Doctors at Kingsnorth

:17:49. > :17:50.practice tell me by spending ?25 per patient

:17:51. > :17:53.on this call-back wider NHS ?250 per patient

:17:54. > :17:56.and they are currently presenting Emily Young has

:17:57. > :18:11.been described as "Britain's greatest living stone

:18:12. > :18:14.sculptor," and today an example of her latest work has

:18:15. > :18:20.been unveiled in Kent. The scultpure in the grounds

:18:21. > :18:23.of Godinton House near Ashford has been chosen to replace two classical

:18:24. > :18:25.statues stolen from As Ian Palmer reports,

:18:26. > :18:49.she specialises in the soft human There is a new centrepiece here at

:18:50. > :18:57.Doddington Hall. It is stunning. I very much like it. We think it looks

:18:58. > :19:02.quite Roman. She is very peaceful and still and I think it is amazing

:19:03. > :19:08.to think she will be here forever. She is now in her final position and

:19:09. > :19:12.that is great. It was crafted by Emily Young, often described as

:19:13. > :19:17.Britain's greatest living stone sculptor. On the single rock is

:19:18. > :19:21.beautiful, to my archive. Every single piece of stone has something

:19:22. > :19:26.amazing going on in it, just the material. And you really do not know

:19:27. > :19:33.what you will get until you polish it up and suddenly you see, such as

:19:34. > :19:38.this one, she has these lovely rings. Five years ago to statues

:19:39. > :19:42.were stolen from here and were never recovered. Soon after the task of

:19:43. > :19:51.replacing them began and the local MP is one of the trustees at

:19:52. > :19:55.Godinton House. We need to look forwards and I hope in several

:19:56. > :20:01.hundred years' time people will still be looking around here and

:20:02. > :20:07.people will seek not only marvellous woodcarving and furniture from the

:20:08. > :20:10.15th century but also marvellous 21st-century sculpture. Godinton

:20:11. > :20:16.House is 700 years old and has been in the hands of just two families.

:20:17. > :20:20.The aim is to keep this tranquil corner of Kent for people who love

:20:21. > :20:25.historic houses and the gardens. I want anybody to look at that and

:20:26. > :20:31.say, that is a face. Anybody who ever lived on earth, and also in any

:20:32. > :20:36.place on earth. That is billions of people and I want every single one

:20:37. > :20:38.of them to be able to see something very simple and very strong and

:20:39. > :20:49.beautiful. Universal and timeless. Brighton and Hove Albion take

:20:50. > :20:52.another step towards their aim of Premier League promotion

:20:53. > :20:54.as they take on Derby this evening. The Seagulls are currently in second

:20:55. > :20:56.place in the Championship, With 10 games left in the season

:20:57. > :21:00.for Brighton promotion to the Premier League

:21:01. > :21:06.could bring the club Our reporter

:21:07. > :21:11.Juliette Parkin is at Juliette, how are the fans feeling

:21:12. > :21:29.with 10 games to go? Cautious, and that is the best way

:21:30. > :21:33.to sum up the atmosphere tonight. It is pretty wet and there is not much

:21:34. > :21:41.just yet to lift the spirits, particularly after a seesaw week

:21:42. > :21:46.after going from defeat to victory. Fans here are very hopeful this

:21:47. > :21:47.could finally be their year, but many simply do not yet dare to

:21:48. > :21:50.dream. Get your commemorative
