Jakonson on his novel about Donald Trump. Here on BBC One, it's time

for the news Today's main headlines

in the South East: a "failure of doctors" led

to the death of a young mother hours after being

discharged from hospital. A film glorifying a Kent gangster

who was involved in the death of a policeman in Kent

is unforgivable says It has been a fresher day

out there today but we have a good deal of dry and bright

weather for much of the week ahead. The death of a young mother just

hours after being discharged from a Kent hospital was down

to a failure of doctors, Sian Hollands died after A

consultants Darent Valley Hospital failed to identify signs of a blood

clot in her lung - despite ambulance paramedics

having noted chest pains, abdominal pains, and

shortness of breath. Her family say they are shocked

and devastated by the failings. More than 500 days after her death,

Sian Hollands's children were among the family members who came to court

to hear about the devastating I knew in my heart the truth

and today confirmed that We as a family are

absolutely heartbroken. Sian was admitted to the Durrant

Valley Hospital in November 2015, complaining of chest pains

and problems breathing. She had had an ectopic pregnancy

three weeks earlier. But doctors put her symptoms down

to the fact that she had stopped taking methadone

to come off heroin. They did not consider

any alternatives. The conclusion of the

coroner was damning. The death of Sian

Hollands was due to the failures of the doctors to examine,

diagnose and treat her for a Had they done so on the balance

of probability she She was a one in a million sister

and I miss her terribly. All we have left of

her is her children. And I just can't believe

that it does come down to four lines on a piece of paper

of why she is not here. The inquest heard doctors failed

to read notes made by Staff failed to carry out

regular observations have been told she was well

enough to leave hospital. That decision was made

by Doctor Cameron Khan who examined Hours later, she went

into cardiac arrest. The family has listened to the very

difficult evidence that emerged They are shocked and devastated

by the failings that have Sian Hollands was judged,

labelled and ignored. The hospital apologised

to make to Sian's family that she did not get the level

of care she was entitled to. A former colleague of a policeman

killed in the line of duty in Kent says it is unforgivable that

a feature film glorifying one of the men involved is being given

a red carpet release. Brian Reader from Dartford was with

Kenneth Noye when Noye stabbed Detective Constable John Fordham

to death in West Kingsdown in 1985. Tomorrow a film called

The Hatton Garden Job gets its world premiere -

it focusses on the role Brian Reader played as ringleader of the gang

that stole ?25 million in jewels Our Special Correspondent Colin

Campbell has this exclusive report. They were labelled the diamond

geezers, a gang of elderly men who committed

Britain's largest burglary. There's old school

and there's just... An audacious crime,

they ransacked safety boxes escaping with diamonds,

saphires and gold. It has now been turned

into a comedy thriller starring Larry Lamb

who plays Brian Reader. If He was somebody

who had several million pounds stashed away in that vault

and they left it with it, you would If you were somebody

that was watching this film, you would very likely

regard them as heroes. Brian Reader was an arch

villain, he was. This former Kent detective

questions if it is right He really was a perpetrator

with Kenny Noye with killing one of my colleagues,

John Fordham. I cannot forgive them,

either of them and I cannot Both of them were charged

and they both went to court Another former Kent

Police officer told me he feared the film would give

the criminal gang a status But the bottom line is that these

people are ruthless criminals. They spread misery, they cost a lot

of heartache for a lot of people. Actor Phil Daniels plays the role

of Danny Jones who climbed through the hole that had been

bored into the vault. These guys did not use

violence, they were like your mum and dad or your

grandma and your grampa and they went and did it and good luck

to them, most people would think. The film's producers say

they are releasing at this week to mark the second

anniversary of the Hatton Garden heist, while it is likely to satisfy

some cinemagoers, it is already It's emerged that the chief

executive of the troubled rail franchise Southern Rail,

Charles Horton, is being paid very Accounts posted by parent company

Govia Thameslink show that Charles Horton was paid ?495,000

despite the company's profits being down ?15 million

and nearly a third of southern trains were late,

the worst in the country. I think Mr Horton's salary

is an outrageous salary. Commuters who have suffered

Southern for the last couple of years or more have had

an appalling service and would be astonished to find how

much he is earning. I'm joined now in the studio

by our reporter Leanne Rinne. Leanne, criticism from the MP

there and there's been criticism from people we've spoken

to in Eastbourne, so what more has And because they say they do not

discuss individual's pay packet. They have apologised for pure

performance and strike action, that strike action is ongoing. There was

a strike by the RMT on Saturday and Aslef have rejected their second

deal. That is why passengers today felt shocked when they heard the

news about his salary, why is he being rewarded when they are still

Gatwick airport says it wants to be allowed to continue selling alcohol

at all times of the day - and even to under 18s -

despite Sussex Police calling for the law to be tightened up.

A Parliamentary Committee has recommended that the loophole that

allows airports exemptions from the licensing laws should be

closed, after hearing from one airline that reported more than 250

incidents of disruption fuelled by alcohol last summer alone.

A flight is diverted, a drunk passenger arrested and later jailed

At the moment, the Licensing Act which

controls the sale of alcohol doesn't apply once you are airside and that,

says the House of Lords committee set up to scrutinise it,

It can be quite intimidating to see a whole gang of people

board a plane obviously worse for drink and we believe that the

police, the airlines and the retailers should

have the tools to do their job and therefore

The police are being called, those passengers will be arrested.

The committee heard from one airline which suffered hundreds of alcohol

fuelled disruptions last summer and Sussex Police

airside at Gatwick sold alcohol to an under-18 test purchaser.

But ultimately the public needs to understand that you can't

get onto an aircraft when you are drunk or indeed get

As a captain, if somebody walks onto the aeroplane and the

cabin crew have got any concerns, they'll be straight into the cockpit

and they'll say, "Just boarded two people,

you know, not too sure," and straightaway you'll

just ask for security to come and look at them.

Both airport operators and the Home Office say the current

voluntary code of conduct is still the best way forward.

A report from the Lords said it is clearly not working.

Peter Whittlesea is at Gatwick Airport now.

Peter, here's a clash between this report's conclusion

The Home Office minister who gave evidence to the committee said the

voluntary code of conduct was working. The dispute seems to be all

about security. If you impose licensing laws either side you will

have to have enforcement officers that are vetted and can go your

site. Every year hundreds and thousands of people go I -- Here

side so it should not be a problem. The committee wants his rules to be

instituted before the end of the year.

Now let's take a look at the weather for the coming week

with sarah Keith-Lucas - we'll be getting a bit

We will be getting some sunshine but it will be cooling down. High

pressure not far away so things will be dry, but certainly feeling

cooler. A bit of brightness if you have outdoor plants. We have got

clear skies so temperatures will dip down and by early Tuesday,

temperatures are around six or 7 degrees, cold in the countryside.

Plenty of sunshine on Tuesday morning but the Clyde bills in the

afternoon. Temperatures around 13 or 14 degrees. -- the cloud belts.

Wednesday a similar day, a front moving and will introduce more

cloud. Dry again on Wednesday and temperatures similar to Tuesday.

That cold front moves south on Wednesday night and into Thursday.

Cold air in charge towards the end of the week suffered Thursday,

fairly cloudy, temperatures 11 degrees and a similar picture for

Friday. Here is the outlook for Easter

Good evening. Let's cut to the chase the first big holiday weekend of the

year is on the horizon and if you consider last weekend as a taster

for the summer, this weekend is not looking too bad. It will be a bit

cooler, temperatures this week and closer to where they should be at

this time of the year thanks to the north-west breed and the reason for

that, if we look at the jet stream, coming across the Atlantic pushing

from north to south -- north-west breeze. It separates the high

pressure and low price and it allows the northerly airflow to develop. It

means there will be some showers going into Easter weekend but they

will only be a small portion of the weekend wherever you are and there

will be some dry weather and when the sun is out, it is getting

stronger so it will negate some of the chill. Without the sunshine it

will be chilly at night and that is the case tonight, especially in

southern parts with temperatures in the countryside only
