Good evening. for the news where you are.

:00:07.:00:10.

As we heard on the News at Ten tonight - for 18 months,

:00:11.:00:13.

people in west Sussex have been waiting to find out

:00:14.:00:15.

what went so horribly wrong at Shoreham Airshow that lead

:00:16.:00:18.

Sussex Police are now reviewing the Air Accident Investigations

:00:19.:00:24.

Branch report and the coroner has set a new date of 20th June

:00:25.:00:27.

That day in August 2015 left eleven families and a town devastated.

:00:28.:00:31.

Today Juliette Parkin went to speak to residents in Shoreham.

:00:32.:00:43.

Remembering those who lost their lives. The tragedy of August 2015

:00:44.:00:50.

will forever be part of this Shoreham community but today at

:00:51.:00:56.

least some answers. I think in the light of today's report, I think the

:00:57.:01:01.

response would be sadness with a mixture of anger. There's an element

:01:02.:01:10.

of anger. And given that do you think the airshow should retire and?

:01:11.:01:14.

My personal opinion is I don't think it will. I think we very quickly

:01:15.:01:20.

need of response from the police as to whether there will be a

:01:21.:01:24.

prosecution and if not it needs to be very transparently and fully

:01:25.:01:27.

explain to do everybody and after that the coroner can get on with her

:01:28.:01:31.

important work and the families can get some sort of closure. As the

:01:32.:01:36.

report findings were revealed today, people in the town gave us the

:01:37.:01:42.

reaction. It has confirmed people's worries about the airshow because

:01:43.:01:46.

they have always been there. I've got a feeling there won't be another

:01:47.:01:51.

in Shoreham. I can't see it happening because it brings the

:01:52.:01:57.

memories back again. It is still an everybody's minds and even the

:01:58.:02:03.

football teams still carry the memory of people affected. Among

:02:04.:02:08.

them, Worthing United. Two of their players died in the crash on their

:02:09.:02:13.

way to a match. Who would have thought that an aircraft involved in

:02:14.:02:18.

the display would crash? Absolutely unheard of and shouldn't have been

:02:19.:02:21.

allowed because he shouldn't have been flying over that road. We we

:02:22.:02:28.

have their names on our kit and they will always be remembered by us as

:02:29.:02:33.

great footballers and brilliant friends. Shortly after the disaster

:02:34.:02:37.

at the toll bridge became a focal point for an outpouring of emotion

:02:38.:02:40.

from the surrounding community and beyond. One local artist was so

:02:41.:02:46.

moved by what he saw he turned his grief into art. What touched me was

:02:47.:02:53.

the community coming together. I wanted to paint a picture that I

:02:54.:02:59.

could give to everybody involved. Such a feeling of love and support

:03:00.:03:01.

for all those who have lost friends and relatives. The town has

:03:02.:03:08.

gradually recovered. Obviously life has to go on. In response to the

:03:09.:03:13.

report the Shoreham year show organisers said it had been an

:03:14.:03:17.

important part of the community of 26 years. They said they had always

:03:18.:03:21.

worked hard to make sure the event was safe and successful and said the

:03:22.:03:26.

report will require further analysis and reflection. People here were

:03:27.:03:30.

divided on its future. This community it seems will never forget

:03:31.:03:35.

what happened here. The victims and their families very much in people's

:03:36.:03:36.

hearts and minds today. Eastbourne residents have been

:03:37.:03:40.

voting on a controversial scheme The borough council wants to put

:03:41.:03:42.

3,000 of the 4,000 acres of down land that it owns,

:03:43.:03:47.

up for sale as farms to raise But there have been

:03:48.:03:50.

protests against the plan. Head teachers of primary

:03:51.:03:57.

and secondary schools in East Sussex have united to campaign

:03:58.:04:00.

for more funding. They say budget cuts could mean

:04:01.:04:01.

shorter school weeks The county is also looking

:04:02.:04:04.

at joining with West Sussex, Essex and Cornwall heads

:04:05.:04:07.

in an attempt to secure more We are looking at cuts to the

:04:08.:04:28.

student experience, whether that is curriculum pastoral support to

:04:29.:04:30.

extracurricular activities right across the board. They will have to

:04:31.:04:37.

look at provisions that are the cause of great pride for students

:04:38.:04:38.

and parents. She claimed she needed oxygen

:04:39.:04:39.

to breathe and a wheelchair to go outside, but former civil servant

:04:40.:04:42.

Lisa White was enjoying luxury cruises with her husband funded

:04:43.:04:44.

by a ?152,000 benefit fraud. Investigators found footage

:04:45.:04:47.

of Mrs White dancing around the cafe Today she sobbed in court

:04:48.:04:49.

as she was jailed for 18 months - her husband got a nine

:04:50.:04:53.

month suspended sentence. This footage shows Lisa White

:04:54.:04:55.

singing and dancing. But qualifying for ?115

:04:56.:05:16.

of benefits each week, she'd told the council she couldn't

:05:17.:05:18.

walk without a stick. And needed an oxygen tank

:05:19.:05:20.

to regulate her breathing. She even told them she couldn't

:05:21.:05:22.

lift kitchen equipment, but was running a cafe

:05:23.:05:25.

in Broadstairs and I'm amazed she didn't get caught

:05:26.:05:26.

a lot sooner, to be honest. Although living and working

:05:27.:05:48.

in Thanet, she claimed she shared a council house with her mother

:05:49.:05:58.

in south London. Greenwich Council became suspicious

:05:59.:06:08.

because her husband, who is also her carer,

:06:09.:06:10.

was registered at an Surveillance carried out by fraud

:06:11.:06:12.

investigators proved conclusive. Her husband Andrew White was found

:06:13.:06:15.

guilty of aiding and abetting, but one former neighbour claims

:06:16.:06:17.

Mrs White had been very ill. She certainly deserved to be

:06:18.:06:20.

supported, and the reason they bought this in the first

:06:21.:06:22.

instance is that he thought Mrs White was jailed for 18 months,

:06:23.:06:25.

her husband received Will be here in a moment

:06:26.:06:29.

with the national weather forecast but first let's get the picture

:06:30.:06:37.

in the South East Good evening. A wet start for the

:06:38.:06:51.

day, a drier picture in the afternoon, first thing some rain and

:06:52.:06:53.

it brightens up by the afternoon. Feeling mild. Wet and windy by

:06:54.:07:02.

Sunday. We eventually see some scattered band that time is heavy

:07:03.:07:05.

and thundery showers. Overnight temperature as a result only

:07:06.:07:12.

dropping to around 6-7. Wet first thing but very quickly we see the

:07:13.:07:15.

rain eased eastwards and behind it some sunshine. The wind eases off

:07:16.:07:20.

and by the afternoon the temperature reaching a height of 9-10. As I

:07:21.:07:26.

mentioned, not blasting and at times wet and windy. Here is the outlook

:07:27.:07:29.

and a closer look Good evening, mixed fortunes this

:07:30.:07:41.

weekend. Today we saw a fair share of rain. This is the view one of our

:07:42.:07:47.

weather watchers in Doncaster. Not particularly inspiring. This weekend

:07:48.:07:51.

there will be some rain, but some of us will get away with a dry start.

:07:52.:07:58.

This is the satellite and a lovely day in northern Scotland. But cloud

:07:59.:08:06.

and rain and thunder and lightning in this area. Our main area of rain

:08:07.:08:14.

is stuck across Northern Ireland and Scotland. Some snow over higher

:08:15.:08:21.

ground. And windy. Four or five degrees in Glasgow and

:08:22.:08:22.
