:00:33. > :00:35.After a dull start, it brightened up this afternoon, with more sunshine
:00:36. > :00:54.The family of a cyclist killed in Kent in 2010 say they've suffered
:00:55. > :00:58.years of distress and anguish trying to get to the bottom of the botched
:00:59. > :01:02.An earlier Serious Case Review had found that Kent Police officers
:01:03. > :01:06.failed to fully investigate the crash, but pages had been
:01:07. > :01:09.redacted which revealed the force breached their duty
:01:10. > :01:13.Having seen the full report, tonight Marc Dunk's family

:01:22. > :01:25.Christine and Tony Elson are finally given the full picture
:01:26. > :01:32.of the mistakes of Kent Police made during their investigation.
:01:33. > :01:35.It's taken two years, well, six years in all to get this.
:01:36. > :01:38.Six years of distress, worry, concern at why
:01:39. > :01:45.All we wanted to know is how my son died.
:01:46. > :01:49.Now we find the investigation was totally flawed.
:01:50. > :01:52.Seen exclusively by this programme, the first half of a serious case
:01:53. > :01:57.review, which until now had been withheld, describes how
:01:58. > :02:01.important files were lost, and how this damages the integrity

:02:24. > :02:29.A coroner recorded a verdict of accidental death.
:02:30. > :02:33.But the part of the serious case review published two years ago found
:02:34. > :02:35.that were missed opportunities in the police investigation,

:02:40. > :02:46.Tony and Christine went to a tribunal after several attempts
:02:47. > :02:57.to get the driver's blood test results failed.
:02:58. > :02:58.Kent Police viewed their requests as vexatious,
:02:59. > :03:02.The force accepted that the full serious gets reviewed did not
:03:03. > :03:05.Now it's a matter of making somebody accountable so it doesn't
:03:06. > :03:10.Even now, they say that it's vexatious in the eyes of the IPCC.
:03:11. > :03:12.For data protection reasons, they have been denied access
:03:13. > :03:18.Kent Police said they now accept part of a serious case review
:03:19. > :03:23.These parts included findings that while officers could have done
:03:24. > :03:25.more in their enquiries, it was unlikely this
:03:26. > :03:28.would have changed the outcome of the investigation.
:03:29. > :03:34.Ultimately, the family want an apology and a full investigation
:03:35. > :03:42.A man who had part of his ear bitten off and bleach squirted in his face

:04:02. > :04:03.There's confusion in UK Independence Party tonight
:04:04. > :04:06.after the chairman of the Kent branch of the party told
:04:07. > :04:08.South East Today he'd had resigned his post after criticising
:04:09. > :04:15.However it now seems that Richard Palmer is now
:04:16. > :04:22.It comes in the wake of the county council elections
:04:23. > :04:25.when Ukip was completely wiped out of councils in the South East.
:04:26. > :04:26.Our reporter Piers Hopkirk is in Sittingbourne,
:04:27. > :04:29.where Mr Palmer is set to be the party's candidate
:04:30. > :04:36.Peirs, this all seems very extraordinary - what's going on?
:04:37. > :04:43.It increasingly looking like one of the shortest political resignations
:04:44. > :04:48.in history. Richard Palmer had appeared on a BBC Sunday politics
:04:49. > :04:53.south-east yesterday, and made some very strident criticism of his party
:04:54. > :04:57.leader, Paul Nuttall. Criticism is so strong that he felt he really
:04:58. > :04:59.ought to stand down from his position, which he did. This exactly
:05:00. > :05:05.what he said yesterday. Do you think Paul Nuttall,
:05:06. > :05:07.the leader of Ukip, completely ruined this election
:05:08. > :05:09.for hard-working local I think we should have a different
:05:10. > :05:25.leadership team at the top. Some tough words about. What
:05:26. > :05:29.happened next? Paul Nuttall heard of his resignation, so he rang up
:05:30. > :05:35.Richard Palmer and tried to dissuade him. He told him Ukip is a party
:05:36. > :05:40.that allows dissent, so you're not duty-bound to stand down and resign.
:05:41. > :05:44.I spoke to Richard Palmer tonight. He told me he was very pleased to
:05:45. > :05:50.talk to Paul Nuttall, that he would take some time to reflect. But he
:05:51. > :05:56.said he would now more than likely continue as Kent's Ukip chav. -- as
:05:57. > :06:01.Kent Ukip's chair. Well, you can find out more
:06:02. > :06:03.about the election on our website. A full list of candidates standing
:06:04. > :06:06.will be announced once nominations A mural by the high profile graffiti
:06:07. > :06:11.artist Banksy that has recently appeared in Dover is drawing huge
:06:12. > :06:13.attention in the town. It depicts the flag
:06:14. > :06:15.of the European Union, with a workman chiselling off one
:06:16. > :06:17.of the stars. Previous wall art works by Banksy
:06:18. > :06:20.have been sold for hundreds Scaling new artistic heights
:06:21. > :06:24.for Dover, from the moment the mural was attributed to the mysterious
:06:25. > :06:27.Banksy, it became an instant People stepped up to
:06:28. > :06:32.have their photos taken. Not only is it supremely artistic,
:06:33. > :06:37.if anything stops people in the street these days
:06:38. > :06:40.from looking at their telephone and not communicating with each
:06:41. > :06:45.other, that's got to be good. For Banksy to pay us a visit and put
:06:46. > :06:49.such a piece here, it's fantastic. God knows Dover needs
:06:50. > :06:55.a few of those. You can look at it whether he's
:06:56. > :07:01.thinking about whether the EU should start to break up,
:07:02. > :07:03.because that first star that's being broken is us,
:07:04. > :07:06.that's got to be us. Or whether he's thinking about,
:07:07. > :07:09.well, you know, really should we be Or whether we should stay
:07:10. > :07:14.as one complete community. His art always provokes
:07:15. > :07:22.a reaction, and he's no One of Banksy's most famous pieces,
:07:23. > :07:28.Two Policemen Kissing, was painted on a pub wall
:07:29. > :07:32.in Brighton in 2004. In August 2010, he claimed
:07:33. > :07:35.responsibility for a work that appeared on a beach in Saint
:07:36. > :07:37.Leonards. A a few days later, a mural
:07:38. > :07:40.of his was ripped from a shipping And this painting was returned
:07:41. > :07:47.to Folkestone last year after a legal battle over
:07:48. > :07:50.who owned it. So could his latest work
:07:51. > :07:53.have a stellar value? I mean, I remember famously
:07:54. > :07:58.that they tried to advertise a house for sale, and it just wouldn't go
:07:59. > :08:01.off the market. And when a Banksy mural went
:08:02. > :08:04.up on the side of it, they advertised it as a mural
:08:05. > :08:07.by Banksy with a house And the house when for, you know,
:08:08. > :08:11.probably almost double And that situation could well
:08:12. > :08:16.be repeated in Dover, as the mural was painted on the side
:08:17. > :08:24.of a derelict amusement arcade. Well our reporter Jessica Banham has
:08:25. > :08:26.also been following this So do we now know
:08:27. > :08:39.who owns the building? We have managed to track down a
:08:40. > :08:42.member of the family who have confirmed to us they own the
:08:43. > :08:47.building. They have run several businesses and own property in East
:08:48. > :08:51.Kent for years, including at one point Dreamland. Interestingly, they
:08:52. > :08:57.are the same family involved in the legal dispute over the Folkestone
:08:58. > :09:01.Banksy. One member of the family has spoken to an art dealer, who
:09:02. > :09:05.believes this work could go for up to ?1 million. He said the building
:09:06. > :09:09.was due to be demolished, but he will talk to the local council about
:09:10. > :09:12.what could be done to save it in the future.
:09:13. > :09:14.Now lets take a look at the weather for the south east
:09:15. > :09:18.Rachel - any sign of some sunshine soon?
:09:19. > :09:22.Some sunshine tomorrow and eventually towards the end of the
:09:23. > :09:27.week temperatures pick up. That goes hand-in-hand with some rain. A
:09:28. > :09:32.cloudy start. It brightened by the afternoon, still quite cool. The
:09:33. > :09:36.breeze this afternoon. There has been some brightness around. Through
:09:37. > :09:40.the week, by Thursday and Friday there will be some rain around,
:09:41. > :09:46.temperatures creeping up. Tonight by contrast we will be staying dry and
:09:47. > :09:50.clear. Really, temperatures potentially dropping as low as two
:09:51. > :09:54.or three degrees, holding up to around five or six in towns and
:09:55. > :10:00.cities, always milder along the coast. Brightness from the start
:10:01. > :10:06.tomorrow, by the afternoon more fair weather cloud. Still the call
:10:07. > :10:10.north-easterly breeze, but the winds easing. Temperatures slightly cooler
:10:11. > :10:15.along the coast, 11 or 12. Further west picking up to around 13,
:10:16. > :10:22.possibly 14 degrees. Into Wednesday, clearer skies, temperatures really
:10:23. > :10:25.quite similar to tonight, two three degrees, holding up in towns and
:10:26. > :10:30.cities to around five or six. Lots of sunshine starting Wednesday, and
:10:31. > :10:34.by the afternoon a similar story. The area of high pressure stays with
:10:35. > :10:38.us, then reluctantly south for our weather as we had through the day on
:10:39. > :10:42.Thursday. And indeed for Friday as well. We will see outbreaks of
:10:43. > :10:47.rainfall poster, but more persistent rain through the day on Friday.
:10:48. > :10:51.Towards the weekend as well, further outbreaks of rain but temperatures
:10:52. > :10:57.eventually are going to be creeping up. Highs by Saturday and Sunday
:10:58. > :11:02.around 15 degrees. Over the next couple of days, lots of dry weather,
:11:03. > :11:03.it feels cool, but rain by Thursday. Here is the outlook
:11:04. > :11:09.will become drier and feel warm. Now the National forecast.
:11:10. > :11:18.Good evening. A quiet day on the weather front but we still managed
:11:19. > :11:22.to have some huge contrasts in the weather. This was a beautiful
:11:23. > :11:30.picture from Cumbria, blue skies and crystal clear blue skies in Argyll
:11:31. > :11:36.and Bute but closer to the north coast, it sends shivers down your
:11:37. > :11:38.spine! Chilly and cloudy all along that cost this bank of cloud that
