:01:54. > :01:56.from the local school came here to pay their perspectives,

:01:57. > :01:58.having the difficult task of explaining to their own children

:02:06. > :02:08.lost a mother. The boys come to

:02:09. > :02:10.our after-school club. I think there's real shock

:02:11. > :02:13.and sadness for the family. As I understand it,

:02:14. > :02:16.they're a very close family. But I'm sure people will gather

:02:17. > :02:18.around them, will want to show support in their time when it's

:02:19. > :02:25.appropriate, in a way that can bring real comfort and support,

:02:26. > :02:29.that in a small community that's Eyewitnesses visiting Battle

:02:30. > :02:36.from Oxfordshire explained what happened after the car

:02:37. > :02:42.was in collision with the family, and how they tried

:02:43. > :02:44.to comfort the three children while their parents

:02:45. > :02:46.were receiving medical treatment. It's so sad for the poor boys,

:02:47. > :02:49.because they were being so brave He was really trying

:02:50. > :02:52.to hold it together. And yeah, it's just so awful

:02:53. > :03:00.that they lose their mum. She was grabbing me,

:03:01. > :03:07.then she'd wake up, and the only thing she was asking

:03:08. > :03:10.for were her kids and her husband. And today, the police have

:03:11. > :03:12.renewed their appeal for witnesses. We have a duty now to the coroner

:03:13. > :03:15.and the family to establish exactly what happened and what went

:03:16. > :03:21.wrong yesterday afternoon. And we, as part of the enquiry,

:03:22. > :03:25.will talk to the driver in due course, and also to any witnesses

:03:26. > :03:27.who saw what happened yesterday afternoon,

:03:28. > :03:29.which will include taking It's believed the father

:03:30. > :03:39.of the family is well enough to leave hospital and will be

:03:40. > :03:42.reunited with his children tonight. Peter, what's the latest

:03:43. > :03:55.on the investigation? Throughout today, police officers

:03:56. > :04:00.have been in Battle continuing the investigation. It mainly hinges on

:04:01. > :04:03.what happened to the car, and they are asking anyone that saw it before

:04:04. > :04:08.the collision to contact them immediately. The police also say

:04:09. > :04:11.tonight that the driver of that car remains in hospital, but she will be

:04:12. > :04:14.interviewed as soon as she's released from hospital. OK, Peter.

:04:15. > :04:18.Thank you. A Sussex man accused

:04:19. > :04:20.of murdering his former girlfriend has told a jury he lied repeatedly

:04:21. > :04:23.to police after her death because he was scared, and panicking

:04:24. > :04:28.about being blamed for killing her. 19-year-old Shana Grice was found

:04:29. > :04:31.dead at her home in Portslade, near Brighton,

:04:32. > :04:35.on August 25th last year. He throat had been cut

:04:36. > :04:37.and her bedroom set on fire. Michael Lane, who denies murder,

:04:38. > :04:39.has been giving evidence at Lewes Crown Court,

:04:40. > :04:43.as Lucinda Adam reports. Michael Lane has admitted he lied

:04:44. > :04:48.repeatedly during seven police interviews continuously

:04:49. > :04:53.changing his story about where he was and what he was doing

:04:54. > :04:56.on the morning of Shana's murder, eventually admitting

:04:57. > :04:58.he had gone to her house, Asked why it was better to lie,

:04:59. > :05:02.he said he was scared of being blamed, and panicked

:05:03. > :05:04.because his behaviour in the months preceding her

:05:05. > :05:19.death didn't look good. He's admitted fitting a tracker to

:05:20. > :05:24.her car and stealing a key to her back door, which he used to gain

:05:25. > :05:29.entry. Asked whether his actions amounted to stalking, Mr Lane

:05:30. > :05:33.replied, "I suppose, yes". He said he went to her house that morning to

:05:34. > :05:37.tell her not to contact him again because it would mess with his mind.

:05:38. > :05:43.Persecuting barrister said, you carefully planned the killing of

:05:44. > :06:00.Shana Grice. Mr Lane replied no. Michael Lane was seen buying a can

:06:01. > :06:04.of petrol the night before Shana Grice's body was found in her

:06:05. > :06:12.bedroom, and petrol was used to start the fire. Michael Lane told

:06:13. > :06:14.police told the court the petrol was spilled in his car.

:06:15. > :06:19.Lucinda joins us now from outside Lewes Crown Court.

:06:20. > :06:27.We have heard about the clothes Michael Lane was wearing that day.

:06:28. > :06:31.He was caught on CCTV that morning wearing a white T-shirt and grey

:06:32. > :06:38.shorts. He later went home, showered and changed. Those clothes were

:06:39. > :06:41.disposed somehow, but he says he left the clothes at home and can't

:06:42. > :06:45.understand why police haven't found them in searches of his property.

:06:46. > :06:48.Michael Lane denies murder, has finished giving his evidence and

:06:49. > :06:51.that concludes the evidence of the trial. Tomorrow, the defence and

:06:52. > :06:55.prosecution barristers will give closing speeches, the judge's

:06:56. > :06:56.summing up, and the jury will be sent out first thing on Wednesday

:06:57. > :07:00.morning. A bone marrow donor

:07:01. > :07:03.is found for a Kent man after an international search,

:07:04. > :07:25.as doctors call for more Asian There is a call for a change in sex

:07:26. > :07:30.offenders, the man that sent the pictures to Darcy Wells was put on

:07:31. > :07:34.the register the two years, but his name has now been removed. He's also

:07:35. > :07:39.changed his name by deed poll. Staff at MP Gareth Johnson is calling for

:07:40. > :07:41.the rules to be tightened to prevent offenders from attempting to get

:07:42. > :07:44.jobs working with children in the future.

:07:45. > :07:51.Tucked away out of you, a box of trophies gathering dusk. Memories

:07:52. > :07:56.too painful for the sideboard downstairs. Darcy Wells used to be

:07:57. > :08:01.proud of her trophies. Now the contents of this box conjures up

:08:02. > :08:06.just bad memories. He was the assistant manager for the under 12

:08:07. > :08:10.is. He was a person I looked up to before all this started. As you do,

:08:11. > :08:18.you look up to your coach, and you want to do well. Darcy from Kent has

:08:19. > :08:22.just turned 18 and wants to talk openly about sexual harassment she

:08:23. > :08:25.suffered as a young football player. It's very important for sex

:08:26. > :08:30.offenders to be on the register for life. Two years is not long enough

:08:31. > :08:35.at all. So what happened to Darcy Wells? In 2010, Darcy left the

:08:36. > :08:39.Arsenal youth squad and joined Chelsea, based here in Cobham,

:08:40. > :08:44.Surrey, which is when she attracted the attention of her coach Shane

:08:45. > :08:49.Hughes. He used to tell me he loved my legs when I was wearing shorts in

:08:50. > :08:54.training. Soon the comments turned to inappropriate photos on her

:08:55. > :08:58.mobile. He was half naked, he had underpants on with his hand down his

:08:59. > :09:05.trousers. What did he say when he saw you next? Did you like the

:09:06. > :09:10.photo? How old were you? 12. The inappropriate

:09:11. > :09:19.the inappropriate photos left her distressed. She would be on the bed,

:09:20. > :09:27.and she would say she didn't want to go. In 2013, Shane Hughes was placed

:09:28. > :09:31.on a sex offenders register. The offence was listed as incitement to

:09:32. > :09:36.engage in sexual activity with a minor, 12. He resigned from Chelsea.

:09:37. > :09:42.In 2015, Shane Hughes came off the sex offender register. Last March,

:09:43. > :09:46.he changed his name by deed poll. There we had someone who was working

:09:47. > :09:51.at a football club, having some kind of influence over a Child, abusing

:09:52. > :09:55.that situation, encouraging that child to take part in sexual

:09:56. > :09:59.activity, and yet, the only consequence from that was a caution

:10:00. > :10:03.and being placed on the sex offenders register for just two

:10:04. > :10:07.years. I think most people would say that doesn't adequately reflect the

:10:08. > :10:13.seriousness of what that person did. Darcy hopes her experience can help

:10:14. > :10:17.other youngsters in sport. If anyone, if someone asks for pictures

:10:18. > :10:22.from you, or if they are trying to talk to you in a way that you know

:10:23. > :10:27.is wrong, speak to someone. Don't bottle it all up. Glenn Campbell for

:10:28. > :10:31.South East Today. You can see the full story tonight

:10:32. > :10:35.on Inside Out on BBC1 at 7:30. Govia Thameslink, the parent company

:10:36. > :10:37.of Southern Railway, has offered to meet the RMT

:10:38. > :10:39.union for new talks if they suspend

:10:40. > :10:41.industrial action. The union, which represents guards,

:10:42. > :10:45.has planned another day of strike action on April 4th over

:10:46. > :10:47.driver-only operated trains. Talks have been offered for the same

:10:48. > :10:56.day if the action is called off. A man from Seaford remains

:10:57. > :10:58.in a critical condition The 23 year old was riding

:10:59. > :11:04.a motorbike in Station road in Berwick yesterday

:11:05. > :11:06.when he collided with a Land Rover, suffering serious injuries.

:11:07. > :11:14.The driver of the car was not hurt. The universities of Brighton

:11:15. > :11:16.and Sussex have launched an investigation following

:11:17. > :11:22.what they call "shocking A series of sports matches

:11:23. > :11:29.yesterday. A number of students taken

:11:30. > :11:31.to hospital after objects were thrown into the crowd

:11:32. > :11:34.and on to the pitch, it's understood the behaviour

:11:35. > :11:35.included misogynistic, Police are studying CCTV and want

:11:36. > :11:44.to talk to anyone who was injured The sports teams weren't involved,

:11:45. > :11:50.it was mainly drunken fans that got too caught up in it, I guess. It

:11:51. > :11:55.ended up with bottles being thrown. I had to duck from one, and it

:11:56. > :11:58.narrowly missed me. But it was a bit of a shock, because I had never

:11:59. > :11:59.experienced anything like that before.

:12:00. > :12:00.Amanda Akass joins us from Falmer now.

:12:01. > :12:15.There were hundreds of people here yesterday on the sports pitches at

:12:16. > :12:18.the University of Sussex's campus. They had come for a local rivalry

:12:19. > :12:21.match between the University of Sussex and the University of

:12:22. > :12:25.Brighton as part of a whole sports day that is held every year, all

:12:26. > :12:30.kinds of different sporting events held, but it was at the rugby that

:12:31. > :12:33.the problems began. The atmosphere became increasingly aggressive,

:12:34. > :12:36.abusive language was used, a few flares were thrown onto the pitch.

:12:37. > :12:42.There was some kind of pitch invasion, and then we understand

:12:43. > :12:46.that the referee and the organisers of the event decided it was too

:12:47. > :12:50.dangerous, so they decided to cancel the match at half-time.

:12:51. > :12:55.Unfortunately, that did seem to lead to even more aggression between the

:12:56. > :12:59.two sides, we have seen pictures of university flags being burnt, and

:13:00. > :13:01.bottles were thrown. A number of spectators were hurt, and were

:13:02. > :13:05.treated by first aiders at the scene. A number were taken to

:13:06. > :13:12.hospital. Then the police were called, who arrest someone on

:13:13. > :13:18.suspicion of holding a knife. Extraordinary scenes, what have the

:13:19. > :13:22.universities had to say? Both universities, the vice chancellors

:13:23. > :13:25.have issued a joint statement basically condemning it, saying it

:13:26. > :13:30.is disgraceful behaviour. Anyone investigating, and anyone found to

:13:31. > :13:33.be taking part will be punished severely. The organisers of the

:13:34. > :13:37.event said they did have a thorough risk assessment and it will be

:13:38. > :13:38.looking alongside university security teams to work out what

:13:39. > :13:48.happened. Amanda, thank you. A 37-year-old mother

:13:49. > :13:58.of three young boys has died after a car crashed

:13:59. > :14:00.into her as she was walking Her husband is in hospital

:14:01. > :14:04.with head injuries, their children are being cared

:14:05. > :14:10.for by their aunt and uncle. A rare woodcarving that belonged to

:14:11. > :14:12.Anna Cleves is on display at Hever Castle. What does it tell us about

:14:13. > :14:12.the After a butt and windy start to the

:14:13. > :14:22.week, the warm A man from Whitstable who has a rare

:14:23. > :14:31.bone marrow disorder has finally found a donor

:14:32. > :14:37.after an international appeal. BBC South East Today spoke

:14:38. > :14:40.to Yevi Ilangakoon last month, about his desperate serach

:14:41. > :14:42.for a suitable donor. Yevi is originally from Sri Lanka -

:14:43. > :14:44.but only a small percentage of registered bone marrow donors

:14:45. > :14:47.in the UK are Asian. Every day in the UK 70 people

:14:48. > :14:52.are diagnosed with blood cancer. And 69% of patients

:14:53. > :14:55.who are from a white north European But that falls to just 20%

:14:56. > :14:58.for those from a black, Charlie Rose has

:14:59. > :15:14.tonight's story update. Yevi new that the chances of finding

:15:15. > :15:19.a perfect bone marrow match for him were slim. But now, against all

:15:20. > :15:23.odds, his doctors reveal the news he and his family were desperate to

:15:24. > :15:29.hear. She was shocked that there was a match. Such a good match. My

:15:30. > :15:37.daughter was seeded slightly behind me. The previous time was when I was

:15:38. > :15:42.diagnosed, and I was told, every time you come to my room, I start

:15:43. > :15:47.crying. Then I looked, and she was bawling her eyes out because she was

:15:48. > :15:54.happy that they had a 100% match. Yevi was diagnosed seven years ago.

:15:55. > :15:58.It is a rare disorder that prevents the normal production of red blood

:15:59. > :16:01.cells. Years ago, he was told that the condition had become aggressive,

:16:02. > :16:07.prompting a worldwide search for a bone marrow donor. We are in

:16:08. > :16:15.Germany, Poland, and we are moving into India. Charities like this one

:16:16. > :16:19.are recruiting people from ethnic backgrounds to register as donors.

:16:20. > :16:23.If we look at the population in the UK, there are 60 million people, and

:16:24. > :16:26.only 1.14 million are on the UK blood stem cell register. If you

:16:27. > :16:35.start to break it down into different ethnic groups, the South

:16:36. > :16:40.Asian population, there are less people on the register. So it is

:16:41. > :16:43.quite tough for them. So far, Yevi is one of the lucky ones, but the

:16:44. > :16:47.next step is for the donor to be fully checked and then a long and

:16:48. > :16:55.tricky road lies ahead. It's only after five years that they would be

:16:56. > :17:02.able to say that a person after a transplant is 100% fewer would. And

:17:03. > :17:06.that percentage is around 55%. The identity of the donor hasn't been

:17:07. > :17:11.revealed, but if all goes according to plan, the transplant is scheduled

:17:12. > :17:17.for May. Charlie Rose, BBC South East Today, which the ball.

:17:18. > :17:21.Geoffrey Blaine is 94 years old now but when he was 16

:17:22. > :17:27.he lied about his age, pretending to be two years older

:17:28. > :17:30.so that he could join the army and fight in the Second World War.

:17:31. > :17:32.He only just survived, as a Japanese prisoner of war

:17:33. > :17:36.Three months ago Geoffrey's home in Rolvenden was burgled.

:17:37. > :17:39.His medals were stolen and so were those of his father

:17:40. > :17:44.Today, the Royal British Legion presented Geoffrey with a new set

:17:45. > :17:47.of medals during a special ceremony to honour his bravery and service.

:17:48. > :17:54.Geoffrey Blaine was 16 when he went off to fight.

:17:55. > :17:57.He was taken prisoner in Singapore in 1942.

:17:58. > :18:02.You was used for slave labour, clearing up Singapore

:18:03. > :18:11.from the war debris, you know, burying the dead

:18:12. > :18:13.and working as slave labour for the Japanese.

:18:14. > :18:14.Geoffrey was kept prisoner for three years.

:18:15. > :18:20.We were starving, and if we didn't do enough work, we got punished.

:18:21. > :18:24.We got punished for all sorts of things.

:18:25. > :18:28.Geoffrey has lived here for 71 years and is a well-known and respected

:18:29. > :18:35.He'd gone away for Christmas when burglars broke into his home

:18:36. > :18:38.and stole not only his medals from the Second World War,

:18:39. > :18:41.but the ones his father had been awarded in World War I.

:18:42. > :18:43.Today, dozens of people gathered in the village church to see

:18:44. > :18:46.Geoffrey honoured for his service and presented with new medals.

:18:47. > :18:54.And say, for your tomorrow, we gave our today.

:18:55. > :19:02.It's really sad that people don't know what he went

:19:03. > :19:08.Actually going going to war, he should get a medal

:19:09. > :19:14.The Royal British Legion was unable to replace the medals Geoffrey's

:19:15. > :19:15.father was awarded during World War I.

:19:16. > :19:21.Police are still investigating and trying to find those who took them.

:19:22. > :19:24.I don't think they realise what they were doing.

:19:25. > :19:25.They were opportunists, taking items of small value,

:19:26. > :19:28.and if they see this, I hope that they might feel

:19:29. > :19:31.inclined to tell the police where the medals might be found.

:19:32. > :19:34.For Geoffrey, wearing the medals is a symbol of pride,

:19:35. > :19:36.not just for him, but the people who he fought alongside.

:19:37. > :19:39.It's wonderful to have them back, you know, and to sort of feel

:20:01. > :20:06.The Riders held an early lead but struggled to stay in touch

:20:31. > :20:32.she remains a significant figure in British history,

:20:58. > :21:07.Natalie, what it tells us is their marriage may have been short lived,

:21:08. > :21:11.but with Anne of Cleve's agreeing to the annulment, she was sadly,

:21:12. > :21:19.because it turned out she became a very healthy woman. I'm here to

:21:20. > :21:25.welcome you to what is yours. Your Majesty is very gracious. Anne of

:21:26. > :21:28.Cleve's was married to Henry VIII for just six month, making her the

:21:29. > :21:38.shortest reigning queen of his six wives. After their divorce, she was

:21:39. > :21:45.rewarded. She died at Chelsea Palace aged just 42. Any remnant of a Tudor

:21:46. > :21:50.royal palace is rare in itself, because in the middle of the

:21:51. > :21:53.17th-century, Cromwell's troops ransacked the palaces to remove

:21:54. > :21:58.precisely this kind of thing, the evidence of royal ownership. It's

:21:59. > :22:06.not like the roughly hewn hope we think of when we think of. But she

:22:07. > :22:11.is the Queen's sister in title, and she resides in interiors of

:22:12. > :22:13.opulence, and this single panel gives us a real tangible sense of

:22:14. > :22:29.the craftsmanship she knew. This is part of a set of wooden

:22:30. > :22:33.panels, but this one is by far the more interesting of them all because

:22:34. > :22:41.of the monogram, which of course would be very personal to her. I

:22:42. > :22:46.think acquiescing to Henry's will and agreeing to divorce was a very

:22:47. > :22:52.sensible outcome. Henry was very generous with her after that,

:22:53. > :22:57.maintaining I high status at court. She was a wealthy woman. As part of

:22:58. > :23:00.that annulment settlement, she was endowed with Hever Castle where this

:23:01. > :23:06.incredible piece of history will go on display. Hever Castle is famous

:23:07. > :23:10.for Anne Boleyn, but Anna Cleves, another of Henry VIII's wives, she

:23:11. > :23:16.lived here, too. To have something of hers to display at Hever Castle

:23:17. > :23:19.is huge for us. It's a rare insight into what some describe as Henry

:23:20. > :23:25.VIII's most successful queen, and you can see it from Wednesday.

:23:26. > :23:30.It really does illustrate the whole time she was in England, this was

:23:31. > :23:34.the level of opulence she got used to. Thank you very much.

:23:35. > :23:49.Tomorrow, the sunshine is back but it stays breezy. A good deal of

:23:50. > :23:53.cloud. In the afternoon, it turned wet as well. The rain we saw is a

:23:54. > :23:58.cold front. Through the next couple of days, much cooler air,

:23:59. > :24:03.temperatures overnight again getting close to freezing. During the day,

:24:04. > :24:07.doing well to get much out of single figures. Chilly for the next couple

:24:08. > :24:12.of days, there will be sunshine but scattered and heavy showers at

:24:13. > :24:16.times, too. For tonight, the rain we had this afternoon clears. Behind

:24:17. > :24:21.it, clear skies develop, temperatures for the most part

:24:22. > :24:26.staying around 2-3 degrees. It stays breezy. For the most part, frost

:24:27. > :24:32.free, but a chilly start to the day for Tuesday. Why the afternoon,

:24:33. > :24:36.breezy, eventually during the afternoon, one or two scattered

:24:37. > :24:40.showers, but for many of us, a dry and bright, breezy day. Temperatures

:24:41. > :24:46.around average for the time of year, but fresh with the wind. Highs of

:24:47. > :24:51.nine or ten. As we head through tomorrow night, initially clear

:24:52. > :24:55.skies, and towards the early hours of Wednesday morning, the cloud

:24:56. > :25:00.cover thickens, head of rain that will be seen on Wednesday.

:25:01. > :25:06.Temperatures milder as a result. This is the picture for Wednesday,

:25:07. > :25:09.lots of blue on the map, wet and windy, temperatures in single

:25:10. > :25:15.figures. Further outbreaks of rain as we head through the day on

:25:16. > :25:19.Thursday. Friday is a dryer picture. Towards the weekend, good news if

:25:20. > :25:24.you miss the sunshine. The high pressure builds again. As we look at

:25:25. > :25:28.Saturday and Sunday, breezy, but temperatures recover. Once again, it

:25:29. > :25:33.should be in the low to mid teens. In the next couple of days, wet at

:25:34. > :25:37.times, breezy, but hang on in there, Friday and the weekend is coming.

:25:38. > :25:43.And finally as we featured on Friday, the 'forces sweetheart'

:25:44. > :25:45.Dame Vera Lynn has been celebrating her 100th

:25:46. > :25:49.For the last 60 years Dame Vera has called Sussex and the town

:25:50. > :25:51.of Ditchling her home, today she has been

:25:52. > :25:55.To mark the centenary, photographs of the singer have been

:25:56. > :25:58.projected onto the white cliffs of Dover and celebrations have been

:25:59. > :26:02.She's loved by generations of soldiers and civilians

:26:03. > :26:05.across the country for her tireless efforts to lift the spirits

:26:06. > :26:11.And many of you have been getting in touch with us today

:26:12. > :26:21.Ana Frappell sent us this photograph of when she met Dame Vera Lynn

:26:22. > :26:26.The singer presented her with first prize in the fancy dress competition

:26:27. > :26:35.Mavis Nutman has also got in touch on social media to say

:26:36. > :26:38.during World War II and he always spoke of you with great

:26:39. > :26:41.Thank you so much and have a lovely day."

:26:42. > :26:47.While Jo Hanchett said "A real favourite of my Mum

:26:48. > :26:48.who was evacuated during World War II.

:26:49. > :26:51.I hope you enjoyed the Birthday Party in your

:26:52. > :26:58.we will leave you with some pictures of Dame Vera

:26:59. > :27:02.Happy Brithday Dame Vera from all of us.

:27:03. > :27:59.The 24-year-old man has been charged with murder.

:28:00. > :28:01.You made sure an innocent man is charged!

:28:02. > :28:03.What gives you the right to say that he's innocent?

:28:04. > :28:11.If police wrongdoing is part of this, I want to know.
