Police patrols are continuing tonight in Shoreham by Sea

in West Sussex to reassure the public - after a 23

year old man was arrested there in the hours of this morning

in connection with the Manchester bombing.

One neighbour has told us that he was a Libyan man

who was taking flying lessons at the airport nearby.

Lucinda Adam has spent the day in the area.

In the middle of the night counterterrorism police raided

a flat here above a clothes boutique and a hair salon in the high

The owner of the hairdresser believes she knows

I remember he once came in, had his hair done, and then he left.

Training to be a pilot, and I asked him, "Hey,

He said yeah, he was learning to be a pilot.

Mia Watson was woken by the raid as she slept in an adjoining flat.

Yeah, we were staying here last night.

Well, I just kind of heard crashing, banging, loads of police outside.

I'd just woken up so it was all a bit like "Wow" to me.

Sam Schiffer came home from his night shift to find

I had just finished work, on my way home, getting ready

to grab some clothes to go to my girlfriend's house,

Did you know the guy in the other flat?

Only in passing, like a normal neighbour would.

Walked past him - "Hello, how are you doing?"

The 23-year-old man, who is thought to be Libyan,

I think it really does bring it home for everybody.

You know, this is not just something that is localised.

This is an issue we have as a country, and that is why these

investigations are live and ongoing, and they're happening very quickly.

It's a week since suicide bomber Salman Abedi killed 22 people,

many of them young children and teenagers, and injured 116,

as they left the Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena.

It's been a fast-moving investigation with many arrests,

Shock, it such a long way from Manchester. Very surprised because

it's quite a quiet little town here. Brighton, I could have

understood, but not Shoreham. Obviously you think the things

are going to be concentrated on the area where this particular

incident took place, or other centres that perhaps

you see on the news like Luton and obviously London,

maybe Birmingham, but not Detectives are continuing to search

the flat and remove evidence. The investigation into the worst

terror attack in the UK since the London bombings has today

moved more than 250 miles south Kent's Police and Crime Commissioner

is calling for an urgent review of Kent Police's handling

of what appeared to be A Jewish family from London say

they were playing on Minster beach on the Isle of Sheppey on Sunday

when they were assaulted by a gang of youths who hurled stones

at them and shouted abuse. The assault was reported

to the police, but the caller left the scene and the police decided

there was no further risk. British Airways have told us

all their flights at Gatwick Airport Their reassurance follows

the chaotic scenes over the weekend when their computer system crashed,

leaving passengers stranded at There's been another warning today

to dog-owners to keep their animals A sheep farmer from Kent has become

the latest whose story we've reported in recent months

to discover his animals have been attacked -

this incident resulted in three dead and eleven injured sheep at the Four

Winds Farm at Chiddingstone. You may find some of the pictures

in Simon Jones report upsetting. Their injuries too

graphic to show in full. Other sheep have bite marks

and puncture wounds, left clinging The sheep are so helpless,

and they've got no real defence apart from just running,

and when they get a big dog or a couple of dogs chasing

after them, really There is a public footpath

that runs through the middle of it, but farmers were

alerted at around half past eight yesterday evening, and witnesses

believe there may have been more The uninjured sheep are being

moved to another field. The farmers reported

the attack to the police. It's not the dogs -

it's the owners' problem. They've just got to be responsible

for their dogs, whether they're out on a footpath or at home,

and just make sure they can't escape from their property,

and are kept on a lead As these sheep are nursed back to

health, the National Farmers Union says thousands of sheep and cattle

die as a result of injuries Livestock-worrying

costs the industry more Dog owners could face prosecution

and be sued for compensation. An eyewitness who was on the beach

when five men died in one afternoon at Camber Sands last summer says

he thinks it will be safer now that lifeguards are on hand

to offer swimmers advice. Tristan Court runs the Kitesurf

centre in Camber - he's been talking to our reporter

Jessica Banham. There are now four lifeguards

keeping the main beach at Camber Sands safe,

and as a kitesurfing instructor Tristan Court is also used to giving

people advice about the water. He believes the lifeguards

will perform a vital role. Education is definitely the key,

and I'm sure 95% of the lifeguards' jobs will be educating people before

they go out into the water, just making them aware

of possible potential dangers. Tristan was at the beach last summer

when five men lost their lives. Just a month before

two men had also died. Today, holiday-makers

welcomed the guidance When we arrived here in the morning

the tide was very low and they guided us to

the safest part of the beach. I think it's good that you have

lifeguards cause of the incident Not that long ago we had to make

an announcement advising people to come back,

come in close, because ADVERT: Everyone who falls into cold

water has the same instinct. The RNLI has also launched

a water safety campaign, urging people to float rather

than fight if they find The charity says it the tide

at Camber that can be a problem. As you've seen today,

the tide rushes in really quick, With the sandbanks and the sand

bars, it means the tide comes in and cuts round the back,

so it makes little islands that On a busy day this beach can attract

thousands of people, but Rother District Council say

historically there have been very After last summer's tragedies

they decided that the additional They hope they'll prevent

any similar tragedies An inquest into last

summer's death is expected There were lively clashes

between some of the South East's leading politicians this evening,

as members of the main political parties went head to head

in our general election debate With ten days to go,

the panellists faced questions from the audience and discussed key

topics such as the NHS, No it doesn't. People aren't paying

their way. Your company is not paying their way. With all revenue

is cut, it attracts more investment. Put it down to zero then.

And you can see the debate between all five candidates

in our election special tomorrow here on BBC1 at 10.45.

Let's hope for something quieter tonight.

That's it from me - but here's Georgina with tonight's

It was certainly a lively weekend, things are quietening down a little

for the week ahead. First of all, is going to be staying fairly warm

during the daytime but we will have some cooler nights, particularly in

the next couple of nights. Might be a relief to some and are mainly dry

week when we get to Friday when things change a little. Tonight

there are still a few showers working their way off the coast,

many of us will have a dry but cloudy night tonight. Temperatures

down to 13 or 14 and some mist and fog patches developing. That cloud

thins a little as we head towards the morning but still quite a cloudy

day ahead tomorrow. Watch out for the isolated showers although they

are the exception as opposed to the rule. The wind will be felt along

the coast. The temperatures might only get 15-17, elsewhere we could

see up to 20 Celsius and at the end we see some sunshine as the cloud

breaks up. Wednesday is looking like a fine day, lots of sunshine and a

bit of sea mist coming in. Temperatures up to 21 and on

Thursday we are seeing some sunshine although maybe a little bit on the

hazy side on Thursday. You can see those temperatures always up their

21-22d but Friday we are seeing, after a bright sunny start, a lot of

rain coming in in the afternoon. Let's have a look at the outlook for

the next few days. Hello. There I think we've seen the

back of the thunder storms now. Over the next few days, our weather will

start to come in from the Atlantic. We'll draw down fresher air from the

North West. Recently, we've been drawing up humid air from the south,

from the near continent. Of course, it all went bang in the early hours

of this morning. Some tremendous thunder storms, a rattling and

liting up the skies in the south-east. Since then, it's not

been as stormy. A few storms over the near continent. It's been bursts

of rain across the UK. And a lot of cloud too. Quite low cloud in places

as well. Quite a poor day, for example, here in Buxton in

Derbyshire. A lot of cloud still around. It is turning drier. All

these down pours are tending to work their way northwards and eastwards,

out into the North Sea. It's turning drier. It's still quite warm and

humid,
