:00:13. > :00:13.And I'm Rob Smith. Tonight's top stories.
:00:14. > :00:16.The Home Secretary pledges to do more to tackle sexual exploitation,
:00:17. > :00:17.following our exclusive investigation into so
:00:18. > :00:27.2,500 jobs are set to come to Bluewater

:01:34. > :01:37.nowhere to go. Adverts offering free accommodation with sex as payment.
:01:38. > :01:42.Our investigation has prompted calls for action to be taken across the
:01:43. > :01:46.UK. I'm extremely concerned, horrified, Ashley to read the report
:01:47. > :01:49.is a member refers to and the Minister for Housing has written to
:01:50. > :01:54.the website concerned that posted these adverts, asking them to take
:01:55. > :01:57.action. Today the Home Secretary told me that she cared deeply about
:01:58. > :02:05.this issue. In a statement, she said... She says that protecting
:02:06. > :02:10.women and girls and tackling exploitation are both key government
:02:11. > :02:14.priorities. Despite the reaction to our investigation, more adverts are
:02:15. > :02:21.appearing on craigslist every single day. Last week, this one on East
:02:22. > :02:24.Grinstead offering accommodation to a passive female partner to attend
:02:25. > :02:29.adult parties. One in Canterbury was posted this morning aimed at
:02:30. > :02:35.Aviemore student on a friends with benefits basis. And one in
:02:36. > :02:39.Sittingbourne offering in exchange for sex four times a week and basic
:02:40. > :02:42.help with the upkeep of the house. These adverts show a bigger problem
:02:43. > :02:46.in this country which is that there is just not enough affordable
:02:47. > :02:51.housing for young people who have no roast ago, and too often, young
:02:52. > :02:55.people have to take some desperate measure to find a roof for the
:02:56. > :03:00.night. One Southeast politician says that he will raise the issue as a

:03:05. > :03:07.general election and I intend to do everything I can do drag an answer
:03:08. > :03:10.out of the government, before the election. We haven't got time to
:03:11. > :03:12.wait until after the election because vulnerable young people are
:03:13. > :03:18.being put at risk right now because of these websites. We need an answer
:03:19. > :03:21.now. We have approached craigslist several time for comets but have had
:03:22. > :03:31.no response. One landlord who didn't want to go on camera defended his
:03:32. > :03:36.ardour, saying... -- defended his advert. Charities out that this
:03:37. > :03:42.could be addressed as soon as this summer. -- charities hope that.
:03:43. > :03:45.A mother broke down in tears in court today as she described
:03:46. > :03:47.how she tried desperately to save her two-year-old daughter's
:03:48. > :03:49.life after she had taken the heroin substitute methadone.
:03:50. > :03:51.Frankie Hedgecock died after swallowing the drug
:03:52. > :03:53.which her mother had left out in the sitting room
:03:54. > :04:02.Lucy King, who's 39, denies manslaughter by gross
:04:03. > :04:05.Piers Hopkirk has been at Maidstone Crown Court today
:04:06. > :04:16.Lucy King took to the witness stand and told the jury that she had been
:04:17. > :04:26.a long-term methadone user and that a long-term methadone user and
:04:27. > :04:26.ordinarily, she would go to the ordinarily, she would go to the
:04:27. > :04:27.pharmacy and take the drug under close

:04:30. > :04:34.a friend and buying pop-up doses of the drug and taking it at home. In
:04:35. > :04:37.June 2015 she said that one evening, she had full back-up with methadone,
:04:38. > :04:43.with a view to taking up the following morning, but when that
:04:44. > :04:46.morning arrived she saw that the cup was empty and realised that
:04:47. > :04:49.two-year-old Frankie had taken it, with, of course, fatal consequences.
:04:50. > :05:00.She admits that she panicked. She says she tried to make frankly sick,
:05:01. > :05:05.but that hadn't worked. It had been very distressing, so she had stopped
:05:06. > :05:08.that. She said as time progressed, Frankie was nationally showing any
:05:09. > :05:14.signs of being sick and she started believing that she perhaps had not
:05:15. > :05:18.taken the drug at all. But, then, a couple of hours later, Frankie
:05:19. > :05:22.actually stopped breathing and she broke down in tears as she described
:05:23. > :05:27.how she had tried to resuscitating. Frankie was taken to hospital, but
:05:28. > :05:35.she died a few short hours later. Lucy King denies the charges against
:05:36. > :05:39.and the case continues. In a moment, after the murder of Shana Grice,
:05:40. > :05:41.Sussex Police introduce specialist training for officers to help them
:05:42. > :05:48.recognise stalking. The South East's biggest shopping
:05:49. > :05:51.centre is to expand, Bluewater in Dartford has been given
:05:52. > :05:57.planning permission for five separate extensions to the main
:05:58. > :05:59.shopping centre, Our reporter Simon Jones
:06:00. > :06:04.joins us live now Simon, what else do
:06:05. > :06:18.the plans include? Bluewater already occupies a huge
:06:19. > :06:23.amount of their former quarry behind me. If you are a regular shopper
:06:24. > :06:27.there you will know that doing a circuit of the place can take quite
:06:28. > :06:30.a long time, and it is going to get even bigger. Under these plans some
:06:31. > :06:36.of the buildings are going to be demolished. Others are going to be
:06:37. > :06:42.rebuilt. There are plans to move the lake. Interestingly, they are not
:06:43. > :06:46.actually going to add to the car parking spaces. Some raised eyebrows
:06:47. > :06:51.about that. And we are not sure which new retailers may come in.
:06:52. > :06:55.What have the management at Bluewater had to say about this?
:06:56. > :07:00.They say they are pleased the planning application has been
:07:01. > :07:03.approved. They want to continue to add to a continuing -- compelling
:07:04. > :07:07.customer experience. There has been some concerns raised by neighbouring
:07:08. > :07:11.councils fear that this place already has the monopoly and a
:07:12. > :07:12.detrimental affect on the town centres, and also, concern about how
:07:13. > :07:18.traffic in the area will cope. Sussex Police still needs
:07:19. > :07:21.to do more to recognise the crime of stalking according
:07:22. > :07:23.to the county's Police Crime Commissioner,
:07:24. > :07:25.as it emerged that more than 200 people had reported the offence
:07:26. > :07:27.last year, with a sharp
:07:28. > :07:28.increase towards Christmas. An investigation is already
:07:29. > :07:30.underway into the force's treatment of Shana Grice,
:07:31. > :07:36.a young woman from Portslade who was killed by her
:07:37. > :07:38.stalker last summer. As John Young now explains,
:07:39. > :07:40.Sussex Police has now become one of the first forces in the country
:07:41. > :07:43.to bring in specialist training
:07:44. > :07:46.for its officers. Shana Grice is a name that
:07:47. > :07:49.haunts Sussex Police. More than five times she told them
:07:50. > :07:52.that Michael Lane was stalking her and on one occasion, she told her
:07:53. > :07:55.she was wasting their time. Today the county's Police
:07:56. > :07:58.and Crime Commissioner admitted to the BBC that the force's response
:07:59. > :08:01.to stalking in general, as she put it,
:08:02. > :08:04."wasn't what it should be". I think it's very
:08:05. > :08:05.difficult for police officers to understand in the first
:08:06. > :08:08.instance the severity of the crime of stalking because, often,
:08:09. > :08:10.incidents are reported in isolation and what we want to see
:08:11. > :08:14.is police officers actually joining up
:08:15. > :08:16.the dots and understanding that this
:08:17. > :08:18.is about a pattern of abuse. So, in a training centre
:08:19. > :08:20.in Worthing today, The training is
:08:21. > :08:27.organised by a stalking victim herself, who now runs
:08:28. > :08:30.courses to raise awareness. It's extremely encouraging,
:08:31. > :08:32.and they are engaging And that's the whole point
:08:33. > :08:38.of what we're doing. We need to increase
:08:39. > :08:40.the communication And to get people to
:08:41. > :08:44.thoroughly understand what There is plenty of evidence that
:08:45. > :08:47.it's a real problem. This man is pretending to be
:08:48. > :08:50.a hospital doctor in Haywards Heath A stash of weapons
:08:51. > :08:55.was later found in his van. The singer, Lily Allen, helped
:08:56. > :08:57.campaigners by talking publicly about the moment a man
:08:58. > :09:00.who harassed her for seven years It's far too frequent
:09:01. > :09:05.that we hear stalking victim say to us that they had
:09:06. > :09:09.reported it to the police but they The police have said, well,
:09:10. > :09:13.come back when he does something or "he may just go away",
:09:14. > :09:16.or that doesn't sound very serious. The research we've
:09:17. > :09:18.released this week really does underline how
:09:19. > :09:27.very serious this is. The research has led to a list of
:09:28. > :09:33.tell-tale signs, hanging around outside the house, to the more
:09:34. > :09:36.bizarre, rearranging furniture in a victim's garden, or falsely
:09:37. > :09:40.reporting a victim to social services for bad parenting. They can
:09:41. > :09:44.also say I have told them to stop and ask them know, and that is
:09:45. > :09:49.therefore stalking. That is the message I would get across today. We
:09:50. > :09:53.should be really clear about what is wanted and unwanted. And if you do,
:09:54. > :09:59.Sussex Police are now promising that they will listen more and future.
:10:00. > :10:01.Our reporter John Young joins us now from Brighton.
:10:02. > :10:03.John, you saw the training in action today.
:10:04. > :10:12.Not the front-line staff who might pick up the phone if you call them,
:10:13. > :10:17.or if you attend a police station like this, but those able helping
:10:18. > :10:21.the victims of stalking, the experts to deal with people we know how the
:10:22. > :10:24.problem. The idea is that those people getting this extra training
:10:25. > :10:28.will spread the word to the people you might report it to at a police
:10:29. > :10:32.station or on the phone and, as a result, the culture of the force
:10:33. > :10:36.will change. That is the idea, and the next few months and year or so
:10:37. > :10:42.will show whether it is working. An inquest into the death
:10:43. > :10:45.of a 16-year-old boy at a Kent jail has heard how a prison officer
:10:46. > :10:48.who couldn't find him decided and didn't return to his cell
:10:49. > :10:51.for 18 minutes. Daniel Adewole, who suffered
:10:52. > :10:53.from epilepsy, was later found unresponsive at Cookham Wood
:10:54. > :10:55.prison in Rochester. Officer Philip O'Neill said
:10:56. > :10:57.he hadn't considered The former Liberal Democrat Business
:10:58. > :11:05.Secretary, Sir Vince Cable, has urged his party not to field
:11:06. > :11:07.a candidate in Brighton Pavilion, where the Green MP Caroline Lucas
:11:08. > :11:10.is seeking re-election. Mr Cable says he's told the local
:11:11. > :11:14.party to back Ms Lucas who he described as a
:11:15. > :11:16."good, progressive MP" when they hold
:11:17. > :11:20.a meeting on Wednesday. The current Lib Dem candidate
:11:21. > :11:21.has told us he would be
:11:22. > :11:24.willing to stand down. In a moment we'll be speaking
:11:25. > :11:26.live to Vince Cable. First, this was the reaction
:11:27. > :11:27.from people in the Brighton Pavilion
:11:28. > :11:40.constituency today. I understand the need for alliances.
:11:41. > :11:45.I think people will vote with common sense in the end. Nothing in
:11:46. > :11:49.politics is going to surprise us, in this day and age. Does really bother
:11:50. > :11:53.me? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If they decide to go
:11:54. > :11:58.that way that is up to them. Let's talk to the former
:11:59. > :12:00.Business Secretary Vince Cable who joins us now from south
:12:01. > :12:02.West London where's he's campaigning
:12:03. > :12:04.to get back into Parliament. Why are you supporting
:12:05. > :12:07.Caroline Lucas? The Conservatives lost
:12:08. > :12:09.Brighton Pavilion 20 years ago There's no real prospect
:12:10. > :12:26.of a pro-Brexit Tory I thought it was the right thing to
:12:27. > :12:30.do. Caroline is one of those MPs with whom I think myself and my
:12:31. > :12:36.colleagues have a great deal in common. A very strong line in
:12:37. > :12:38.opposing the hard Brexit the government is pursuing,
:12:39. > :12:43.environmental values, support for voting reform, all of those things.
:12:44. > :12:46.And it isn't part of any central agreement or anything of that kind.
:12:47. > :12:52.I think it was the right thing to do, and I think our members in
:12:53. > :12:57.Brighton think it is the kind of gesture we can have with parties
:12:58. > :13:02.where we have a strong, common view. Presumably you are getting something
:13:03. > :13:09.in return, maybe a local deal. Are they helping you out in Eastbourne
:13:10. > :13:13.and in Lewes, the seat she lost two years ago? There was no quid pro
:13:14. > :13:20.quo. I thought it was the right thing to do. And hoping that
:13:21. > :13:23.like-minded people, Green supporters and others will support others in
:13:24. > :13:28.Eastbourne and in Lewes and elsewhere. That is down to them. I
:13:29. > :13:33.am not trying to plan some agreement from the top. Our party operates
:13:34. > :13:36.very much from the grassroots. This was from other party members and
:13:37. > :13:44.supporters, and they will form their own view. The kind of gesture I have
:13:45. > :13:47.made might well be interpreted in different ways across the country
:13:48. > :13:52.and it is the kind of politics people want to see instead of narrow
:13:53. > :13:56.tribalism. Is it about money? You have limited resources. Everyone is
:13:57. > :13:58.scamming to get candidates and campaigns organised. This would
:13:59. > :14:05.enable you to focus resources on other Sussex seats. That wasn't
:14:06. > :14:09.actually part of my thinking. I just go back to the point I said at the
:14:10. > :14:16.beginning. I thought it was the right thing to do. With Caroline
:14:17. > :14:19.Lucas Beeney force were good. The same as my colleagues did in the
:14:20. > :14:22.coalition in terms of supporting environmental issues, setting up a
:14:23. > :14:25.green investment bank which has now been trashed by the Conservative
:14:26. > :14:31.government and, I think it's very important that we stand together to
:14:32. > :14:38.fight them. So Vince Cable, thank you very much for joining us. -- Sir
:14:39. > :14:40.Vince. You can follow the election campaign
:14:41. > :14:43.over the coming weeks - and find out more about
:14:44. > :14:45.the candidates on our Radio stations Kent, Sussex and Surrey

:14:56. > :15:00.Secretary and Hastings NPR Barat says that tackling sex for rent is a
:15:01. > :15:03.key government priority, following Alex Lees investigation. Questions
:15:04. > :15:14.are set to be raised in Parliament this week. Also tonight, a restored

:16:21. > :16:22.sprayed quite a lot, so we lose a sprayed quite a lot, so we lose a
:16:23. > :16:25.lot of plants, losing one of the areas where they are not sprayed as
:16:26. > :16:28.much with herbicide. Conservationists say that even these
:16:29. > :16:32.last havens are increasingly under threat as many councils cut back
:16:33. > :16:35.grass verges early in the year, not giving plants enough time to sow

:17:25. > :17:28.Spiked Rampion, only grows in Sussex. It is not yet in flower this
:17:29. > :17:34.year. East Sussex County Council says it had by many wild flower
:17:35. > :17:38.verges and they are constantly designating more. We put up marker

:18:33. > :18:44.A simple moving moment which has happened here each weekday from 90
:18:45. > :18:49.years. The ringing of the bell from HMS Canterbury, a cruiser in the
:18:50. > :18:54.Great War, is followed by the turning of a page from the book of
:18:55. > :18:57.life. It records the names of soldiers from the Queen's Own Buffs
:18:58. > :19:07.who fell in the first and second world Wars and other conflicts. I
:19:08. > :19:12.marched down the hill from the barracks down to this chapel to turn
:19:13. > :19:16.the page in May 1957, and here we are, 60 years on, about to do the
:19:17. > :19:21.same thing. The colours have all been cleaned, where they can, and it
:19:22. > :19:28.is a remarkable day, to see open again. The Queen's Own Buffs were
:19:29. > :19:31.originally the East Kent Regiment amalgamated in the 60s with the
:19:32. > :19:35.Royal West Kent Regiment. The chapel and ceremony was their special place
:19:36. > :19:38.of remembrance, until it was closed to allow restoration of parts of the

:19:43. > :19:45.the cathedral for a few months and here we are seven years and nine
:19:46. > :19:51.months later and the last piece of the jigsaw is back in its own in

:21:06. > :21:10.There is lots to celebrate. There is a great atmosphere here tonight with
:21:11. > :21:16.players and fans arriving in the last hour. There is, as you say,
:21:17. > :21:20.lost to celebrate such a successful season. There could be a double
:21:21. > :21:25.celebration tonight. If Newcastle lose tonight, they are currently
:21:26. > :21:28.second in the table, then the seagulls could be crowned the league
:21:29. > :21:31.winners. We'll be showing highlights of the season tonight and as

:21:47. > :21:51.Norwich. Despite the 2-0 defeat, they could secure the championship
:21:52. > :21:59.title if Newcastle lose tonight. After getting promoted, it was
:22:00. > :22:03.almost a holiday, the atmosphere was really nice and it was a special

:22:16. > :22:20.Vale did them a favour on Tuesday night, but if it goes to the final
:22:21. > :22:23.game, Gillingham might need to beat Northampton town, who are managed by
:22:24. > :22:31.Justin Edinburgh, the man sacked as Gillingham manager in January. A
:22:32. > :22:36.number of awards are being handed out tonight, including Player of the
:22:37. > :22:48.Year. I'm delighted to be joined by a player who won that award last
:22:49. > :22:53.year. Thank you for joining us. For everyone of us, the players, it is
:22:54. > :22:57.to achieve more in the team, but the hard work we did all season is
:22:58. > :23:02.coming in now. And probably the fans are going to vote for Player of the
:23:03. > :23:06.Year. For us, now, what we achieve like a team is the most important
:23:07. > :23:10.thing, but obviously it is nice winning this evening to pick this
:23:11. > :23:16.trophy up. It is something special. And I am happy for every one of the
:23:17. > :23:19.players because we did have an unbelievable season and we achieved
:23:20. > :23:23.something so special. So I want to say congratulations to the winner,
:23:24. > :23:27.because everyone deserves this trophy this evening. Sum up what it
:23:28. > :23:32.means to be promoted to the Premier League. It is a great achievement
:23:33. > :23:38.for this club. Something special. We really enjoyed every moment. We
:23:39. > :23:43.still have some more to do to win the league, but it is like a dream
:23:44. > :23:48.for us, and something big for us, for the players. Thank you so much
:23:49. > :23:50.for joining us this evening. There could be a double celebration
:23:51. > :23:57.tonight. That really would be a dream tonight. They are going to
:23:58. > :24:10.have a good evening, anyway, aren't they? It is turning nice and cold at
:24:11. > :24:13.the end of the football season. It is going to get cooler over the next
:24:14. > :24:19.couple of days. Earlier, it was quite a bright start. And overnight
:24:20. > :24:23.temperatures should not be too bad but we have a cold front heading our
:24:24. > :24:29.way and behind that is some much cooler air conditions from the
:24:30. > :24:32.North. For the first half of this evening there will be some rain. It
:24:33. > :24:37.passes through really quite quickly. Behind it, we have clearer skies.
:24:38. > :24:43.Temperatures falling away. A little bit below freezing in rural spots.
:24:44. > :24:49.Hovering at one or 2 degrees in towns and cities. It is chilly with
:24:50. > :24:55.a frosty start for Tuesday. Holding onto that cold, northerly wind. We
:24:56. > :24:59.start the day dry, with more cloud around and one or two scattered
:25:00. > :25:04.showers, potentially do some hail mixed in. Lots of sunshine, a chilly
:25:05. > :25:09.start, temperatures by the afternoon reaching highs of around 10 Celsius.
:25:10. > :25:17.Feeling much cooler. The reason for that, those northerly winds, ticking
:25:18. > :25:22.up at around 10-15 mph. On Tuesday, into Wednesday, we have the
:25:23. > :25:25.scattered showers and it will be very chilly with temperatures in
:25:26. > :25:31.rural spots hovering around freezing and around two or three Celsius
:25:32. > :25:37.around the coast. Sunshine and showers throughout the day. We still
:25:38. > :25:41.have this northerly airflow. Temperatures at around 10 Celsius,
:25:42. > :25:45.still feeling cooler, and on Thursday, eventually a warm front
:25:46. > :25:48.means what warmer conditions. A chilly start and lots of sunshine by
:25:49. > :25:55.the afternoon, and some scattered, wintry showers. We don't want Frost!
:25:56. > :26:00.Before we go, let's take a look at the closing headlines. France's
