:03:06. > :03:10.Mr Lane told the court he was in a state of shock.

:03:11. > :03:12.Worried that he might be implicated, he threw away some of

:03:16. > :03:20.He said today, I didn't know what to do

:03:21. > :03:25.and I didn't want to get the blame for it.

:03:26. > :03:28.By this stage, it was really too late to tell anyone.

:03:29. > :03:30.Mr Lane denied stalking Shana but did admit

:03:33. > :03:36.Today, the court heard that police had been contacted about

:03:40. > :03:45.In February 2016, Michael Lane was warned

:04:01. > :04:07.For that, he was given a formal police caution.

:04:08. > :04:22.The Medway Maritime Hospital has come out of special measures,

:04:23. > :04:24.almost four years after being branded the worst hospital

:04:25. > :04:26.in the country because of the high rate of patient deaths.

:04:27. > :04:29.The Care Quality Commission says significant improvements in quality

:04:30. > :04:32.and safety have been made at the hospital in Gillingham

:04:33. > :04:44.but it says the trust still requires improvements.

:04:45. > :04:46.The Brighton Half Marathon has become mired in controversy

:04:47. > :04:49.after it emerged this year's course was 146 metres short.

:04:50. > :04:52.The winner of the event last month says it's left her angry and upset,

:04:53. > :04:55.because it put her place as an elite entrant in the

:04:56. > :05:09.Finishers at this year's Brighton Half Marathon, but despite their

:05:10. > :05:14.efforts, it would appear they didn't go quite the distance.

:05:15. > :05:20.Some predict the race was about 150 metres short.

:05:21. > :05:24.Yes, some people aren't that bothered, and, to be

:05:25. > :05:26.honest, if you're enjoying yourself, an extra 100

:05:27. > :05:28.metres isn't that much of a big deal.

:05:29. > :05:30.But for a lot of people, it does make a difference.

:05:31. > :05:33.For top athletes, like Eleanor Davies, who won the

:05:34. > :05:35.women's race in a course record and personal best.

:05:36. > :05:37.Qualifying her for early entry into the London

:05:38. > :05:47.I've been training in Ethiopia for three weeks before it.

:05:48. > :05:50.I targeted that race in particular to do a fast half

:05:51. > :05:51.marathon and now that result doesn't mean anything.

:05:52. > :05:54.It means as much as a multi-terrain half marathon.

:05:55. > :05:56.We broke the news to amateur runners

:05:57. > :06:05.It's not cheap, so I feel possibly a bit short-changed.

:06:06. > :06:09.Starting on Madeira Drive, the Brighton Half Marathon

:06:10. > :06:14.course takes in many of the city's key sites.

:06:15. > :06:21.It's alleged that the easterly turn point

:06:22. > :06:22.at mile four was not adjusted after changes

:06:23. > :06:25.Event organisers, the Sussex Beacon, a

:06:26. > :06:28.local charity, said they are working with UK athletics to investigate

:06:29. > :06:31.Not a major issue for many fun runners,

:06:32. > :06:40.but for elite athletes, potentially a career changing mistake.

:06:41. > :06:44.In an and well, that's it from me. Let's take a look at the weather

:06:45. > :06:53.forecast with Rachel. After a week of spring, it's

:06:54. > :06:58.starting to get a bit cooler and cloudy. Heading into the weekend,

:06:59. > :07:02.not a wash-out but rain at times. Cloud, but brightness around at

:07:03. > :07:07.times. Further outbreaks of rain, overnight temperatures dropping to

:07:08. > :07:11.6-7dC Woolston generally heading to the weekend, it will be breezy. Lots

:07:12. > :07:17.of cloud around particularly during Saturday morning, outbreaks of lies,

:07:18. > :07:25.patchy rain. Temperatures down on the values we have seen recently. 19

:07:26. > :07:29.Celsius earlier in the week, for Saturday, 12-13dC. Staying mild into

:07:30. > :07:30.Sunday and a very similar picture for Sunday. Here's the

:07:31. > :07:37.it is rather breezy. Now for the national outlook.

:07:38. > :07:46.It was quite a wet day across many northern and western parts of the

:07:47. > :07:50.UK. This was the view in Lancashire not so long ago. For the weekend we

:07:51. > :07:55.are looking to see further rain, all coming from the west, so the further

:07:56. > :07:58.east you are, it should be drier. It will be quite a windy weekend for

:07:59. > :08:02.all parts. The radar from earlier today showing quite a bit of rain

:08:03. > :08:07.across the North and west. The only rain across the East has been light

:08:08. > :08:13.and patchy, but heavy bursts further west. The satellite sequence shows

:08:14. > :08:17.cloud over the UK at the moment. Plenty more cloud over the Atlantic,

:08:18. > :08:24.and it's heading our way, most of it rain bearing. Tomorrow night, still

:08:25. > :08:25.wet for most areas. Snow over the hills of
