:01:55. > :01:59.in another school hall and three year groups who would normally leave
:02:00. > :02:04.school to get lunch had to remain in their classrooms. I am angered and
:02:05. > :02:09.frustrated. There is absolutely no getting away from the fact it has
:02:10. > :02:13.been a very difficult day and certainly having that number of
:02:14. > :02:20.people illegally on your ground is very annoying. And worrying? Very,
:02:21. > :02:22.yes. The school said it did not tell periods immediately what was
:02:23. > :02:26.happening because it focused on child safety but the lack of
:02:27. > :02:31.information cause concern for some parents. To get messages from my son

:02:41. > :02:46.they can do he said we can go to the toilet if there are four of us. You
:02:47. > :02:51.were worried? Yes, I was. By 5pm the travellers began to go and they were
:02:52. > :02:56.served with a notice which required them to leave immediately. The

:03:06. > :03:11.impact this has on the students, many of whom are taking exams and
:03:12. > :03:14.saw any disruption to that is unacceptable and I am glad Sussex
:03:15. > :03:18.Police acted quickly to move them on. I tried talking to the
:03:19. > :03:21.travellers as they left, one told me they would not have set up camp

:03:33. > :03:39.They are still leaving and it is taking some time for some of the
:03:40. > :03:43.people to return to the site. They have returned, hooked up the
:03:44. > :03:48.caravans and complying with the requirement to leave. It would
:03:49. > :03:53.appear the traveller I spoke to earlier did not want to appear and
:03:54. > :03:57.give me an interview but he did say they are now moving to Scotland. He
:03:58. > :04:01.said they had been at a party locally and he complained he said

:04:18. > :04:19.that is usually deadly - for almost a decade is finally
:04:20. > :04:22.in remission, after an experimental Mavis Nye from Whitstable had
:04:23. > :04:25.already been through four rounds of chemotherapy
:04:26. > :04:27.after being diagnosed in 2008. She was told there were no more
:04:28. > :04:30.treatment options left when she was offered the chance
:04:31. > :04:32.to go on the trial. Two years later, there
:04:33. > :04:35.is no sign of the cancer, and she says it feels
:04:36. > :04:39.like she is back with the human race, where she had
:04:40. > :04:42.felt she was dying. Our health correspondent
:04:43. > :04:47.Mark Norman has more. Around eight years ago Mavis Nye
:04:48. > :04:50.was told she had just three months to live
:04:51. > :04:51.after being diagnosed She underwent four years
:04:52. > :04:57.of chemotherapy, and after each I couldn't walk, I had

:05:04. > :05:10.at Chatham Dockyard in the 1950s. Mavis believes she inhaled asbestos
:05:11. > :05:13.dust when washing his clothes. Mesothelioma is frequently
:05:14. > :05:15.a death sentence. It's a cancer that typically
:05:16. > :05:18.develops in the lining of the lungs, It can take up for 30 years
:05:19. > :05:26.to emerge and we are seeing a spike in numbers -

:05:39. > :05:45.financial compensation here than any other part of the UK,
:05:46. > :05:48.and over a 10-year period almost Mavis and Ray had all but given up
:05:49. > :05:53.hope of beating the cancer when Mavis took part
:05:54. > :05:55.in a clinical trial. She finished that trial last
:05:56. > :05:57.June and, remarkably, I could walk again,
:05:58. > :06:02.I was getting my strength back and gradually I would come back
:06:03. > :06:05.into the human race, Incredibly good news
:06:06. > :06:08.for Mavis and her family, and all the more remarkable
:06:09. > :06:11.as when we spoke to her three years ago she expressed her desire to help
:06:12. > :06:14.find a cure, any cure. The scientists conducting this trial
:06:15. > :06:22.are now moving to a third and final stage based on that success
:06:23. > :06:25.and they are recruiting more The science tells us in theory this
:06:26. > :06:30.could work so we will undertake this trial and hopefully that evidence
:06:31. > :06:37.will be used to make the decision whether all our future patients
:06:38. > :06:40.in the setting of failed in terms of previous treatments,
:06:41. > :06:44.should have immunotherapy We are very excited
:06:45. > :06:54.about immunotherapy as a new area of cancer research, and being able
:06:55. > :06:57.to harness the power of the body's own immune system and turn
:06:58. > :07:01.that against cancer. Mavis says she owes her life
:07:02. > :07:04.to the NHS and she hopes the new trial will bring hope
:07:05. > :07:06.to others suffering And lets be clear -
:07:07. > :07:23.a clinical trial should not Of course it should not. It might
:07:24. > :07:27.give doctors a opportunity to see how we can treat a particular
:07:28. > :07:31.disease in the future and patients may benefit from a future treatment
:07:32. > :07:36.but it may be no better or worse than what we have had. Many patients
:07:37. > :07:41.end trials like this have exhausted all treatment avenues and patients
:07:42. > :07:45.often have -- may have to give up its future of time to take part in
:07:46. > :07:51.clinical trials. But what is potentially so exciting is it helps

:13:20. > :13:24.I think grammar schools are the complete antithesis
:13:25. > :13:28.of everything I believe that education should be for and about.
:13:29. > :13:33.I believe education is about young people
:13:34. > :13:36.and parents choosing a school, it is not about a school

:14:18. > :14:25.Bryony, grammars is huge issue this election?
:14:26. > :14:34.Absolutely. In 2015 that there was a practical radio silence on grammar
:14:35. > :14:38.schools and David Cameron's Conservatives said they were not
:14:39. > :14:42.very interested in expanding grammars and then the school was
:14:43. > :14:48.allowed to build an annex down the road and now these have become key
:14:49. > :14:54.issues for the parties, especially the Conservatives and Labour. The
:14:55. > :14:57.other big issue is funding and the Conservatives yesterday announced ?4
:14:58. > :15:02.billion, Labour said ?5 billion and the Lib Dems have said ?7 billion
:15:03. > :15:07.more funding for schools if they are elected. We are still to hear from

:15:43. > :15:46.And today we have thunder and lightning and many finish with
:15:47. > :15:52.sunshine. Does not bode well for the weekend? I will tell you later in
:15:53. > :15:54.the fourth cast. -- does that bode well?
:15:55. > :15:58.As the First World War raged in 1916, a film was shown in halls
:15:59. > :16:02.It was the first time cameras had been sent into the trenches,
:16:03. > :16:04.and revealed the horror of the Battle of the Somme.
:16:05. > :16:06.It's said some people fainted as they watched.
:16:07. > :16:08.One of the pioneer cameramen was Geoffrey Malins,
:16:09. > :16:12.On Sunday his silent film will be accompanied by a live
:16:13. > :16:14.orchestra at the showing at St Mary in the Castle.
:16:15. > :16:22.Robin Gibson has tonight's special report.
:16:23. > :16:33.They're simple, stark and shocking, even today, after 100 years of news
:16:34. > :16:35.documentaries and feature films which tell the same story.
:16:36. > :16:42.The Battle of the Somme was a first for the British public.
:16:43. > :16:45.In August was its first public screening, 1916.
:16:46. > :16:49.And within six weeks of its release something like 50% of the then UK
:16:50. > :17:02.Geoffrey Malins, who came from Hastings, was the most prominent
:17:03. > :17:16.His silent film was accompanied by an orchestra or piano
:17:17. > :17:22.The Imperial War Museum commission this new score as it restored
:17:23. > :17:29.I was involved with the restoration of the film back in the mid 2000s.
:17:30. > :17:36.And I obviously knew about Malins and the fact
:17:37. > :17:39.he was born in Hastings, and I thought at some point it
:17:40. > :17:42.would be fitting to bring it back to his hometown.
:17:43. > :17:45.So it will be a unique moment on Sunday, when the restored version
:17:46. > :17:51.of the film plays in the period surroundings of St Mary
:17:52. > :17:53.in the Castle to the sound of the Hastings Sinfonia.
:17:54. > :17:58.Our conductor is to play with a click track so the music is
:17:59. > :18:02.We can't be playing explosions seconds behind the film.
:18:03. > :18:04.So I know our conductor has been practising a lot
:18:05. > :18:26.in his garden in London, trying to get it exactly right.
:18:27. > :18:30.We know the great film-maker never returned home here to the town
:18:31. > :18:36.But after 100 years, his greatest achievement is coming
:18:37. > :18:52.home to be seen and heard in the way was intended.
:18:53. > :18:57.The newly-rebuilt Hastings Pier is celebrating its one year
:18:58. > :19:03.anniversary this weekend - an extraordinary year which has seen
:19:04. > :19:05.the pier nominated for a prestigious architectural award,
:19:06. > :19:08.seen 350,000 visitors and played host to numerous events.
:19:09. > :19:12.But the pier costs just under ?800,000 a year to run.
:19:13. > :19:15.A large chunk of that money goes towards replacing 2,000 nuts
:19:16. > :19:19.and bolts each year - as they become worn down by the sea.
:19:20. > :19:22.All of that money is raised entirely voluntarily by 5,000
:19:23. > :19:26.Chrissie Reidy joins us from Hastings -
:19:27. > :19:36.Chrissie this is a huge amount of money to raise every year.
:19:37. > :19:40.Are the trustees of the pier confident it can be found?
:19:41. > :19:48.Bullock, getting the pier to point it is financially viable is a tall
:19:49. > :19:52.order and trustees today told me there have been teething problems
:19:53. > :19:57.but it is effectively a new business that relies solely on public
:19:58. > :19:59.donations. Trustees estimate it will be four years until the pier is self
:20:00. > :20:15.funding. Risen from the ashes Hastings Pier
:20:16. > :20:21.has been brought back to life. It is a pier for the people paid for by
:20:22. > :20:25.the people, costing ?800,000 each year to keep afloat it has been a
:20:26. > :20:29.challenging first 12 months. When that's not some things have worked
:20:30. > :20:34.very well, others not so well and know we have a plan in place for a
:20:35. > :20:38.format your project were we will make it completely self funding. You
:20:39. > :20:52.get around 100 days a year to make it a money to fund 365 days. It is
:20:53. > :20:56.more of a venue than most peers and visitors have visited but it is a
:20:57. > :21:00.20,000 nuts and bolts underneath holding it together. The sea is
:21:01. > :21:06.dissolving it and saw that as 20,000 nuts and bolts and we will have to
:21:07. > :21:10.check close. Who, apart from the Victorians, would be crazy enough to
:21:11. > :21:16.build a structure in such a corrosive environment that could be
:21:17. > :21:20.subject to an earthquake 's 365 days of the year? Built mostly using a
:21:21. > :21:27.lot of lottery funding, the pier was about breaking the mould. It needed
:21:28. > :21:33.reinvention, it had become obsolete. In effect, the previous 19th-century
:21:34. > :21:38.model had reached the end of its, it had reached itself by date. Voted
:21:39. > :21:44.pier of the year age a few months ago has not disappointed. The
:21:45. > :21:50.building you can see behind me is very important and it fits very
:21:51. > :21:55.well. It is what Hastings is about, blank canvases for everyone to work

:22:00. > :22:04.concerts and tea dances and you meet lots of lovely men and women who let
:22:05. > :22:09.their partners -- they met their partners here so I think we should
:22:10. > :22:12.have some more tea dancing! The weather may not have been in the
:22:13. > :22:17.mood for celebration but the people's the pier has a bright
:22:18. > :22:22.future. If you have never been here it
:22:23. > :22:28.really is vast different, a vast, venue space. When it comes to
:22:29. > :22:33.encouraging people onto the pier it means they can think outside the
:22:34. > :22:39.box. It got pier of the year if you months ago and is up for another
:22:40. > :22:42.war, the equivalent of the Oscars in the architectural world. They will
:22:43. > :22:49.find out in the next few months -- up for another award.
:22:50. > :22:52.From the Museum of Modern Art in New York to the Tate -
:22:53. > :22:55.British artist and Turner Prize nominee Simon Patterson's work has
:22:56. > :22:57.featured in some of the world's most famous collections.
:22:58. > :23:00.His most known work is his map of the Stars, The Great Bear,
:23:01. > :23:03.a re-imagining of the famous London Tube map, with famous names
:23:04. > :23:06.He's now behind the new exhibition at the De La Warr Pavilion
:23:07. > :23:10.in Bexhill - his first solo show in the UK for almost a decade,
:23:11. > :23:12.and made with the help of Bexhill Sailing Club.
:23:13. > :23:15.and made with the help of Bexhill Sailing Club.
:23:16. > :23:33.Using the sea of Bexhill as a blank canvas seascape is the artistic
:23:34. > :23:37.spectacle which looks set to draw clouds to the De La Warr Pavilion
:23:38. > :23:42.pavilion this Saturday. We have smoked bones with different coloured
:23:43. > :23:45.smoke and the idea of that is we let them off so the detainees go between
:23:46. > :23:50.the smoke and the smoke is different colours and it will be out very
:23:51. > :23:56.interesting and fascinating spectacle -- the boats go between
:23:57. > :24:01.them. It features an anthology of work from Turner prize nominee Simon
:24:02. > :24:07.Patterson. It gives a nod to local fraudsters, charlatans and
:24:08. > :24:12.fantasists including Charles Dawson, and Grey owl, the top name of
:24:13. > :24:18.Hastings born Archibald Laney who passed himself off as a Native
:24:19. > :24:23.American. Making art, sometimes the way everyone thinks of artists as
:24:24. > :24:26.charlatans but they are not. The problem is artists often struggle
:24:27. > :24:31.much more with what is the value of what they do, what is the purpose,
:24:32. > :24:37.what is the function of it? The show takes the visitor on a mini safari
:24:38. > :24:40.through pavilion using drawings, sculptures, photographs and video.
:24:41. > :24:46.In keeping with the travel theme this is one of the highlights, the
:24:47. > :24:52.Yuri Gagarin count. It symbolises his expeditions as an astronaut.
:24:53. > :25:00.What is the significance of the kites? It is more about the idea of
:25:01. > :25:07.sculpture and naming an object. To nail the name on the wall is a
:25:08. > :25:11.ridiculous exercise. So if you fancy exploring the
:25:12. > :25:13.unusual you can take a safari at the De La Warr Pavilion until the 3rd of
:25:14. > :25:25.September. Looks rather lovely. Well, what will
:25:26. > :25:33.be whether to? Georgina is with us. The weekend is not looking too bad.
:25:34. > :25:37.We have all sorts, thunder, hailstorms, lightning. But it looks
:25:38. > :25:47.much better for the weekend. Let's look at some of our weather watcher
:25:48. > :25:51.pictures. Very grey sky, I imagine it is actually raining in that
:25:52. > :25:55.picture. Later in the day in the late afternoon we started to see
:25:56. > :26:01.blue sky coming through and many finishing the day with some late
:26:02. > :26:06.sunshine. Thank you for those pictures and keep those coming in.
:26:07. > :26:10.As we head through tonight, most of the showers should clean away and we
:26:11. > :26:19.are left with clear spells, still a favourite of cloud through the
:26:20. > :26:24.night. -- fear come out. If you're an early bird tomorrow it
:26:25. > :26:28.is likely to be chilly frosting, some showers but they are pretty
:26:29. > :26:32.isolated so you could miss them all together and lots of sunshine.
:26:33. > :26:39.Sunshine and showers tomorrow but you may have a dry day. A bit more
:26:40. > :26:45.breezy tomorrow also. That drops off through Saturday night and a further
:26:46. > :26:50.quiet night, largely dry and quite good for stargazing. Sunday and lots
:26:51. > :26:55.of sunshine, looking largely dry, a lovely day to get out and about with
:26:56. > :26:58.temperatures reaching 18 Celsius and a lot less breezy as well so quite
:26:59. > :27:05.pleasant on Sunday. I want to quickly showed you the temperature
:27:06. > :27:10.is what it is Monday's temperatures that are of most interest and we
:27:11. > :27:14.could see them reaching the low 20s. A bit more closely on Monday but
:27:15. > :27:16.still pretty warm start to the week. We like lots of sunshine over the
:27:17. > :27:21.weekend! Before we go - here's Natalie Graham
:27:22. > :27:33.with the details of our special It is a political battle over
:27:34. > :27:38.security, trade and immigration. It is a battle over the future of the
:27:39. > :27:42.NHS. And it is a battle over how to fund and run our schools.
:27:43. > :27:49.Politicians from the main five parties will be fighting it out here
