Political shock waves as the US President fires the director of the | :00:00. | :00:00. | |

Losing the Towner Gallery would be a disaster for Eastbourne say | :01:00. | :01:16. | |
campaigners, as the council announces it s going to halve | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
It will leave the gallery with a ?300,000 hole in its budget. | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
Gallery bosses say that is "catastrophic" for them, | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
The council says it is having to deal with "brutal" funding | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
cuts from government, and is having to find | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
As Eastbourne 's gallery faces cuts campaigners are calling for a | :01:39. | :01:57. | |
rethink saying making savings of ?300,000 a year have crippling | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
impact on arts and culture. They're going to have to cut their | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
exhibitions severely and cut about half the staff. If you think you're | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
going to see a lot of lovely exhibitions you will see them | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
because they will be able to afford them. As its budget has been | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
squeezed Eastbourne Council says it has to cut costs. This is one of the | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
most exciting exhibitions the towns had. David Dimbleby is the chair of | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
the Towner and his son has joined the campaign to save future funding. | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
It is a front-line service in my mind. It brings in tourists and | :02:36. | :02:46. | |
tourists go to shops and cafes and spend money. Galleries rely on | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
different funding streams but the Towner relies on cash from the | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
borough council 's. Between 2015 and 2018 Turner contemporary and Margate | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
will receive 1.7 million from the arts Council. The Delaware division | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
will get 1.5 million in the same period yet Towner will receive just | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
over ?1 million from the arts Council. That would disappoint quite | :03:13. | :03:24. | |
a few people if it was cut to the. I agree with that up to a point. I can | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
see why they are doing it. They have to draw people in and that is the | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
only way they can do it. But Eastbourne Borough Council has | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
confirmed as yet no final decision on funding has been made. | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
Peter, so although these plans aren't final, the council says it | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
The council has been looking at various ways it can try and make | :03:47. | :03:57. | |
some money, trying to sell off some farmland but that was rejected so | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
the latest proposal is to cut the ground here at the Towner. It has | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
hit back tonight saying for every pound invested it brings to pounds | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
ten back to the local economy. They attract 145,000 people every year so | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
cutting their grant would be completely counter-productive. | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
Prosecutors say the case against the South Thanet Conservative | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
candidate Craig Mackinlay remains open, while their investigation into | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
The Crown Prosecution Service said no criminal charges are to be | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
brought against Conservative MPs elsewhere in the country | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
but a decision on whether to prosecute Craig Mackinlay | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
Our Political Editor Helen Catt has the details. | :04:32. | :04:45. | |
Craig McKinley is tonight the only Conservative candidate who still | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
doesn't know if he will face criminal charges over spending at | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
the last general election. Earlier prosecutors said they would not take | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
action against a number of MPs who were visited by the Conservative | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
battle bus. It's in the lap of the gods now. It's in the hands of the | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
CPS. I am told from a legal point of view it all hinges on the word | :05:08. | :05:15. | |
knowingly. The MPs did not knowingly realise the battle bus was coming | :05:16. | :05:28. | |
and it wasn't part of the expenses. In 2015 the spending limit was just | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
over ?15,000. Mr McKinlay declared expenses of just under that. That | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
queries were raised over a 15 under half thousand pound hotel bill paid | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
by the National party at the Royal Harbour Hotel in Ramsgate. An | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
investigation found some of those who stayed they had helped Mr | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
McKinlay's campaign. The investigation has two prove intent | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
and prove to an extent wilful intent whereas the Electoral Commission, | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
all they do is have to show that things have been misfiled. Kent | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
Police investigation has only recently been passed to the CPS. It | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
is for that reason the CBS says the case remains under consideration. | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
And Helen is in Broadstairs for us now. | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
Has Mr Mackinlay said anything about this yet? | :06:18. | :06:26. | |
He has not commented on any of today's developments but has | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
previously said he has done nothing wrong. He does also have the backing | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
of his local Conservative Association and he is intending to | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
go forward with the standing as the candidate so we're not expecting any | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
change before close of nominations tomorrow. The CPS has also been | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
saying today that no influence should be taken from the fact they | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
have not made a decision. Newson from Ukip that the chairman the Kent | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
branch has resigned after resigning and unreasoning on Monday. It was | :07:02. | :07:09. | |
all a bit will he wanted but he has resigned as the chair. Richard | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
Palmer. Not over the comments he made about Paul Nuttall. He says he | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
just needs a rest. He will not be standing as the party candidate in | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
Sittingbourne and Shetty because they are not going to stand any | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
they're. They don't want to split the Brexit vote. What will be | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
interesting tomorrow when those nominations come out is whether it's | :07:34. | :07:34. | |
happening anywhere else. In a moment: The boy who must | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
live in the dark helping others to see the light, | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
raising money for fellow sufferers A murder investigation has been | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
launched after the death of a man Razvan Sirbu's body was discovered | :07:46. | :07:56. | |
in the Looze Valley Conservation A post mortem's concluded he died | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
from blunt force trauma The 21-year-old had been | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
living in a tent nearby. We would like to appeal for any | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
witnesses to come forward in the location of Chisbrook Meadow | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
between 4pm on Saturday afternoon And also for anybody else who has | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
any information whatsoever about this vicious murder to come | :08:19. | :08:27. | |
forward and speak to us. Piers, what else have | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
the police had to say? They have told us that Razvan Sirbu | :08:32. | :08:47. | |
was a Czech national who came to the UK last October. During that time he | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
had been sleeping rough and he had only come here last Friday so less | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
than 24 hours before his murder. It's understood he had been sleeping | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
living in a tent in the woodland that you can see their behind me. | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
This is the second murder of a homeless person in Kent in the last | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
human sand earlier today I spoke to the Chief Executive of the homeless | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
charity torchlight and said that homelessness was on the increase and | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
that attacks on homeless people were commonplace. People who sleep rough | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
report violence on a daily basis. The vulnerability comes from | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
somebody who has not got anywhere to live, probably haven't got any | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
support next works and is exacerbated by mental health issues. | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
You have somebody who is incredibly vulnerable who attracts the worse in | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
our society. Flowers and other tributes have been left here at the | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
murder scene. One read this, so sorry this community let you down | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
but we didn't stop to ask if you needed help. | :09:55. | :10:02. | |
Eddison Miller from Kingsnorth is a normal, boisterous 6-year-old | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
He has a very rare genetic condition that means he can never | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
go outside in daylight without extreme UV protection. | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
Known as XP, it means his skin can't cope with ultra violet light at all, | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
even some light bulbs can cause a reaction. | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
Only one in a million people have XP, and there is no known cure. | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
Exposure to the sun causes painful blistering burns on the skin | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
Eddison's parents are fundraising to help other families cope | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
with the difficulties, but say with the right | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
support, people with XP can live a normal life. | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
Edison is a bubbly six-year-old who like most boys his age | :10:34. | :10:42. | |
But to go outside during the day he has to be protected | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
He sometimes gets teased by other children and the mask makes it | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
difficult for others to hear him properly. | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
They have to keep making me repeat it. | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
When Edison was diagnosed at 13 months his parents were devastated, | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
but quickly resolved to make his life as normal | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
We flip our time over so in the summer we let them sleep | :11:09. | :11:16. | |
long periods during the day so we can be out until two or three | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
in the morning in the park and at the beach and playing. | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
During term time when he's got to be bright eyed and bushy tailed | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
for school obviously he can't do that. | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
The local community helped the family build an indoor garden | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
or play area for Edison so that he could do indoors | :11:33. | :11:34. | |
I've got a climbing frame, a sandpit. | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
I've got a slide and a treadmill which I sometimes go on. | :11:41. | :11:48. | |
We have special film on all of our windows and that | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
filters UVA and UVB from coming into the house so it means we can | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
His school has had to have the same film applied so he can move freely | :11:56. | :12:03. | |
Edison's mum has formed a charity, the Teddington Trust, | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
that helps children with XP around the world learn about | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
the condition and helps improve their quality of life. | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
Edison hopes to be a scientist when he is an adult or maybe even | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
a scuba diver where the sun's rays can't affect him. | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
His parents are protecting him from all exposure to ultraviolet | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
light now to increase his chances of a long and fulfilling life. | :12:26. | :12:37. | |
With just under a month to go until we're being asked to cast our | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
votes in the General Election, the parties are keen | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
to show what they would do were they to be in power. | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
But what would you do if you were in power? | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
Well, we asked a group of teenagers in Heathfield | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
What changes would they make if they were PM for the day? | :12:51. | :13:09. | |
Let's sort out the vote and give it to 16 and 17-year-olds. I would | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
scale back the nuclear programme and spend it on the NHS. Schools need | :13:17. | :13:24. | |
more funding. Some schools have had to trot seven A-level subjects which | :13:25. | :13:32. | |
limits choices. From the issues which affect them now to decisions | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
they weren't able to vote on. If we want to start the next generation | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
from making the same mistakes 16-year-olds should be allowed to | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
vote. People have been voting blindly under the influence of fake | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
news. We can't let people fled in because it's not going to work. But | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
we should help the sole we should let thousands in. But wrecks it is | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
happening. The deal is being hammered out so it's back to the | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
priorities at home. I would increase funding for the NHS because I | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
believe it is something we rely on day by day but we neglected. I would | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
work on issues regarding the environment to help secure our | :14:24. | :14:31. | |
future for our future children. The potential future Cabinet members and | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
perhaps Prime Minister have spoken. You can see more in our PM | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
for the day series on our Facebook page and ahead of next month's | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
General Election we're hosting a special Question Time style | :14:44. | :14:46. | |

of our election debate. Our top story today. The Towner | :14:59. | :15:11. | |
Gallery in East one could have its budget have as of the council tries | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
to save money. The gallery says it will struggle to keep going. | :15:16. | :15:17. | |
Also in tonight's programme: Sailing therapy. | :15:18. | :15:19. | |
The seaman taking MS sufferers out on his boat to help | :15:20. | :15:21. | |
It has been a glorious afternoon with temperatures in the top teams. | :15:22. | :15:32. | |
Heavy showers for tomorrow but it's James McGee. I will have the details | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
in the forecast. When it comes to World War Two | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
heroes, we think of leaders But what about those | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
who risked their lives running into no-man s land evacuating | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
the wounded from the front line? In 1940 William Earl | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
from Shoreham in Sussex joined On Friday he'll be celebrating his | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
102nd birthday, Oh darling I am getting so tired of | :15:53. | :16:17. | |
it all. Yet I do carry on somehow. Knowing that the day will come when | :16:18. | :16:26. | |
I shall return home to you. In 1940 William Earl had to leave the love | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
of his life Mary to join the field and villains in the medical corps. | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
Today reading the letters he sent home makes the memories of the | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
brutality of war come flooding back. I suppose the most horrible part of | :16:42. | :16:55. | |
any battle. Allied forces advanced rapidly following the landings in | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
Italy in 1944. But soon the Germans had back, there are forces greatly | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
outnumbered the Allied defenders and there were considerable losses of | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
life. You could be talking to your colleague next you and the next | :17:13. | :17:20. | |
minute you would be wrapping his body in a blanket. You lived second | :17:21. | :17:39. | |
by second. People were being killed, shells bursting, rifle fire. You | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
cannot explain it to any B. Over the past seven years his friend has | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
become his biographer. Using the National Archives to researches | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
stories. Then from the Italian campaign of often been pushed to one | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
side because it became a backwater after the D-Day landings. I feel | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
that the cabbage and bravery and commitment they showed needs to be | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
brought to the fore and this story needs to be told. The love letters | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
may tatty but Williams loves Mary still strong. She and his comrades | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
are immortalised in his memoirs. A sailor from Brighton is launching | :18:17. | :18:27. | |
a challenge to take sixty five adults with Multiple Sclerosis | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
on a week long sailing mission. Robert Munns believes that sailing | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
can help people with MS The condition affects around one | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
hundred thousand people in the UK, including the organiser who says | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
he was inspired by his own experiences of sailing | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
with the condition. Our Health Correspondent Mark | :18:43. | :18:43. | |
Norman has this report. A diagnosis of multiple sclerosis | :18:44. | :19:06. | |
presents challenges. Sailing a 45 foot yacht presents challenges. But | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
the two together and rather than challenge it can be life changing. | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
MS impacts on life. But you have got to do things. You have to keep | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
getting out there. This is one way you can demonstrate you can do | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
something new. It doesn't hold you back. This was the video of this | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
first sailing trip last summer. In a few days' time 65 people will sail | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
along the Croatian coast. The man organising the trip as MS and he | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
wants others to have the same experience heeded when he first got | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
Aqua about after his diagnosis. People arrive scared and they are | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
inflexible physically and in their mindset and you see that blooming | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
and easy confidence blooming and you see a sense of pride and | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
achievement. Before you know it you've got sailors. Walking up and | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
down the boat itself on moving water is a marvellous exercise for people | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
with MS because we will have balance issues. It gave me hope and it gave | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
me confidence. Yes I can still do things and challenge myself. I can | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
still have an advantage -- adventure. 100,000 people in the UK | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
have MS, it damages the central nervous system and symptoms usually | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
start when people are in their 20s or 30s. They are hoping to change | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
the perception of the illness and are looking for more people to take | :20:43. | :20:44. | |
part in future challenges. A young mental health patient has | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
today agreed to meet the chief executive of the mental health trust | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
in Kent to try and help Earlier this week we turned | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
Sophie Goldsmith's story into a special animation to coincide | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
with Mental Health Awareness Week. Sophie, who's 23 and from | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
Whitstable, has been struggling to get the help she needs | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
after several attempts It was seen by the head | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
of the mental health trust who sent a letter to Sophie admitting | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
she knows changes are needed. I think it's really good that they | :21:13. | :21:24. | |
watched it and got in touch and decided action needs to be taken. | :21:25. | :21:25. | |
But actions speak louder than words. Well, one of the country's | :21:26. | :21:33. | |
best known mental health ambassador is Roby Wax, | :21:34. | :21:35. | |
who's bringing her Frazzled Mindfulness evening | :21:36. | :21:37. | |
to Tunbridge Wells tonight. We'll be speaking to her in just | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
a minute, but first, At night I can't sleep | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
but at the wheel of a spinning car, I just want to stuff | :21:44. | :22:04. | |
her until she's fat. You thought you had to go | :22:05. | :22:26. | |
to a nut house about this. You are betting how dumb or smart | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
you think your partner is. Well our reporter Claudia | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
is at the Assembly Theatre in Tunbridge Wells where Ruby Wax | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
is appearing tonight and Claudia, Ruby certainly isn't shy | :22:41. | :22:42. | |
about putting mental Ruby wax is about to go on stage and | :22:43. | :22:58. | |
her show is not really a traditional stand-up. There is a lot of | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
discussion with the audience and it's going to start in half an hour | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
so thank you very much for speaking to us. How would you describe your | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
show? I love Bill Bryson and he takes a subject that is riveting and | :23:15. | :23:22. | |
spins it with comedy. So I take the idea of how your mind works and why | :23:23. | :23:29. | |
we get these critical thoughts and why in evolution something went very | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
wrong and it's not our fault that we live in the 21st-century and we | :23:35. | :23:42. | |
can't take it all in. So it's comedy but underneath I think people are | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
laughing and then you can push information down their throats. | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
There has been a lot of discussion about mental health recently. What | :23:52. | :24:02. | |
do you think could be done more to help people who are struggling? | :24:03. | :24:10. | |
We're talking about is if it's another planet, it's like saying | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
either teeth clean? Everybody is struggling at this moment. There is | :24:16. | :24:23. | |
no actually normality. We shouldn't stand. Fix yourself before you save | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
the planet. We need to understand how a mind works. Little kids should | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
understand when they don't do well in the exam but because there brains | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
can take that much pressure. They have to know where you're tipping | :24:41. | :24:56. | |
point is. Thank you so much. You are on at 7:30pm tonight and there are | :24:57. | :24:57. | |
still a few tickets left. Rachel, is the weather going to | :24:58. | :25:06. | |
continue in this lovely vain? A glorious afternoon and highs of | :25:07. | :25:21. | |
18. The clear skies we saw earlier stay with us as we go through | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
tonight. Temperatures falling away in moral spots. Early tomorrow | :25:25. | :25:31. | |
morning we will see a pushing up from the south and temperatures will | :25:32. | :25:39. | |
pick up. As we had through the morning we will see some scattered | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
showers and potentially some thunder and maybe even some hail. By the | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
tail end of the afternoon temperatures reach highs of 19 or 20 | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
degrees. Quite a different feel to today. A bit more cloud but also | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
some sunshine. From Thursday into Friday we're going to see cloud and | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
heavy rain. Overnight temperatures of just 11 or 12 degrees. So heavy | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
rain on Friday and that will clear. Temperatures once again reaching | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
highs of around 18 or 19 degrees. Try for a time on Saturday but | :26:20. | :26:21. | |
turning wet by Sunday. That is it for us for the moment. I | :26:22. | :26:33. | |
will be back with the late news. Goodbye. | :26:34. | :26:38. |
