This is the terrifying moment a man brandishing an axe burst into a shop

in Gravesend and tried to force the 18-year-old cashier

The shop assistant, Havinees, is the owner's son

and his two younger brothers, aged 14 and 15,

I thought he was joking so I started smiling at first.

he wasn't joking and I got really scared.

I was worried he was going to hurt my brothers because he, like,

got the axe up, trying to, like, threaten me.

In all the commotion, one of the brothers was able

to alert their dad who was loading up a van at the back

My son said to me, "Come in, Dad, quickly.

He heard my voice then he ran, opened the door and ran away.

The suspect fled out of this door,

despite the best efforts of a police helicopter

and a dog unit which were called out

Havinees says it is made him feel very vulnerable.

I wasn't before but now I'm, like, thinking

anyone can walk in at any time and then ask for money.

Kent Police say the suspect is white, around 5'7"

Adam Savory was 25 when he died on a trip to Peru in 2012.

The charity set up in his memory is helping a team of sports

Now, Brighton suffered a humiliating defeat in the fourth

They were beaten 3-1 by the non-league side Lincoln City,

In form and focusing on Premiership promotion,

Brighton Hove's FA Cup run took them

The Seagulls started well, a goal from Richard Towell.

But then everything went horribly wrong.

First, a penalty for Lincoln, then the Albion scored an own goal.

The promise of the Imps becoming giant-killers was no longer

a fairy tale when Theo Robinson made it 3-1.

We have to burden that as a club and certainly

But these are tough days and you hope that what you can do

But being taught a lesson by a club

three divisions below Brighton Hove was tough for fans.

I'm a big supporter of Brighton and...

I don't really mind because I think we're going up

Now for a look at the weather with Wendy Hurrell.

This afternoon's rain is clearing away from us now.

It was a rather soggy Sunday after all but it

Some lovely bright skies across the region first thing this

morning, then it clouded over and we got the rain.

It will be a mostly cloudy week, although much milder

East Grinstead could start the day tomorrow

And it will be a similar temperature wherever you're setting

However, there will be a lot of cloud around,

low cloud, misty, murky stuff, particularly up over the Downs,

There won't be much to shift it into the afternoon,

in fact, it might produce us a little bit of drizzle

One or two places tomorrow will get to 10 Celsius and that's a similar

temperature we're going to be seeing this week.

Double figures but under cloudy skies with spells of rain,

if I'm going to pick a day some brighter weather,

That is from us now. We will be back at breakfast tomorrow morning.

Goodbye. Good evening. Very soggy down south

today. A wash-out of the day for some of us. Scotland, northern parts

of England, had sunshine. It's going to be cold. Already is. This is what

is heading our way for the week ahead. We need our brollies out and

it'll turn Wendy later in the week. The rain is clearing. I wouldn't say

necessarily particularly drying out after this rain band boost towards

the east, it'll stay damp but cloudy and murky in the north. Maybe

freezing fog in places. It will be cold in the glands of Scotland. It

could be down to -10 degrees, it's already about -5 or 6 degrees right

now. Monday
