The quiet dignity of Muslims leading a service of hope

and solidarity with the victims of the London terror attacks.

If you stay quiet, say nothing, then people only hear the negative

messages and voices which are around everywhere.

The crippling cost of petty crime and its impact

Why this woman's sounding off about cinema chains and the lack

I have to go and watch it on that day and that time and if I don't go,

And we'll hear the story behind a full-size caravan made

It was a show of quiet dignity and of solidarity with the victims

While Westminster paused for today's service of hope and reconciliation,

members of the Muslim community here in the South gathered

with people from all faiths, as a mark of respect,

and to demonstrate their absolute rejection of terrorism.

Joe Campbell was at the event, in Newbury.

They marched partly in silence but the message was loud and clear. We

are British but we are British Muslim and we live in this country,

loved by their rules and regulations of the land. They still have it

tends to meet everybody. This event may have been organised by new's

Moslem community can they claim it was open to all. People came from

all sections of the time. Buyers coming out this week and being vocal

about it, that we are united, we condemn the act of violence and we

pray and our thoughts are with the victim's family, that is the message

we want to send out to comfort those -- to confront the others that are

in the media and other places. We pray for those in the Westminster

attack, from -- for the family, friends and colleagues of those

killed. Outside the town Hall, Muslim and Christian prayers.

Flowers from those of all faiths and none. If the -- if the intention was

to divide communities, the clear objective of today's march was to

show that Shearer, they failed. We, in this community, a community that

is changing, more trips are people coming to live here, we are

determined to understand and be one community, to be tolerant. And then,

two weeks to the minute, a time to remember. The crowd hushed but

speaking with one voice. The current terror threat in the UK

is rated as "severe", which means an attack

is highly likely. In Guildford today, the second

of two special events was held to help businesses prepare

for the worst IF something This from our home affairs

correspondent, Peter Cooke. Nice, Berlin, London,

but where next? This morning, more than 100 people

from Guildford's business community were told how they could stop

it being them. The counter-terrorism workshop

was organised the town's Business Crime Reduction Partnership

before the attack in You don't know where it is great to

happen. It doesn't have to be an iconic location. The idea is to

teach and today, to plan and prepare.

This is one of hundreds of similar events run by the South East Counter

Terrorist Unit since it was set up in 2009.

But what should people be looking out for?

Terrorists will visit the scene they are targeting somewhere. It is about

asking unusual questions, trying to seek information that you wouldn't

normally be in the public domain. Just really working out with the

vulnerable points are of an EDS are the to attack it.

She realises the training could help save lives in the future.

Definitely very informative. It is something that is not impossible or

probable to have it happen in Surrey or Guildford itself. I took all the

court away from it today and I getting it will be transferring it

to my staff and it's made us more aware that it is something that can

happen at any moment. The threat of terrorism

in the South remains very real, In 2015 a Reading couple,

Mohammed Rehman and Sana Ahmed Khan, were jailed for plotting to bomb

locations in London. The security services remain

concerned about the changing Vehicles have been the weapon of

choice in recent incidents. Any future attacks from the radicalised

or disaffected could strike anywhere. Whilst not wishing to

alarm, this training was about training and preparing our

businesses and communities for that potential reality.

To keep themselves safe, convenience stores around

the country are spending around ?4,000 per year, fitting CCTV,

security doors, bollards and even employing security guards.

But this does not always lead to a prosecution and the body that

Linda Dean is a film buff but because she's deaf,

sometimes the first time she can see a new release is when it comes out

Not every film is shown with subtitles in the cinema

and you can wait for weeks if they are.

I'd like to be relaxed about my social life and go

spontaneously where I want to go, when I feel comfortable,

without having to think, oh, I have to go and watch it on that

day at that time - and if I don't go, I'm going to miss it.

And I must say, some of that time I've actually been to the cinema

at Basingstoke or other locations and I've been told there

is a subtitle showing and actually, it's not subtitled, so I've

travelled all that way for nothing and that's even more disappointing.

There's no point in me having a choice, there's no equality.

So, I do feel like I'm discriminated against.

Linda is in Newbury with her friend Victoria to see what films

There are just a handful on with subtitles this week,

They don't have any awareness of the shows for next week,

no information on the website is clear enough, so I think

probably more training is needed for staff members.

They project subtitles onto lenses, meaning deaf people can watch any

film without having subtitles appear on the screen.

Similar technology's already in use in the US and Australia.

How much reputationally, how much benefit would that be?

In terms of their general business brand but also

You'd have deaf people just going to that cinema chain.

So, I almost feel that they're not taking advantage of a great

opportunity that's right in front of them.

Until things change, Linda and some of the 11 million

They have to recreate the experience at home.

Earlier, I spoke to doctor Roger Wicks, who's director

of policy at the charity Action on Hearing Loss, and I asked him

if cinemas are obliged to offer subtitles.

Yes, under the Equality Act, all providers of services

reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities.

For cinemas, this means hearing loops and it means subtitles.

So is this an issue where you regularly hear complaints?

One in six people have hearing loss and many of them regularly use

subtitles on television and in the cinema.

It's a regular source of complaint, films put on with subtitles

at difficult times of the day and not being advertised at all.

There is huge demand for subtitles in cinemas.

In Tom's report, we saw somebody wearing glasses that project

the subtitles but only the wearer is seeing those.

Is technology the answer, do you think?

It is definitely part of the long-term solution, yes.

The UK Cinema Association is working hard with us on different technical

solutions and glasses, so-called invisible technology,

where the subtitles are only visible to the person wearing glasses,

Definitely talk to your cinema, manager when you want subtitles

available when you watch films, that is really helpful.

As part of our season previews, it's time to head to Sussex,

With new chief executive Rob Andrew at the helm,

there's a steely determination about Sussex.

We can compete on all fronts. We want promotion this year. We want to

of South African's Vernon Philander, Stiaan Van Zyl and David Wiese

While Laurie Evans from Warwickshire It was important to us to add some

senior players but also some batters, and someone who can ball.

The pre-season has gone well and I think we just want to get going,

really. Club Stalwart Michael Yardy has

taken over as batting coach. While someone just starting to make

a name for himself is young Having toured well with

way of getting children to improve their maths

and English skills. A tournament's being held

in West Sussex this evening where youngsters compete

in a version of the sport that's geared-up to help

with their academic results. For this afternoon only, this is the

version of the Crucible. This is the first snooker tournament they have

had year. 50 children and for local schools taking part. The trophies

are here, ready to go. A quarter and the semifinals are going on. Here's

a flavour of today's action. I just love playing people and the

game and just the concentration, because some people think it's

boring but actually think it's great fun because it gives you something

to do every now and again. Habitually fun. It's something

different. It is something we're not used to seeing in skills. We see Ed

on television and four children the stage, they think, I would like to

go go at. My first night is on table one. They

are raiding the rating to go. Yes. Are you feeling confident? Yes. I am

feeling good about it. I feel like I can get to the semifinals. It all

looks great fun, doesn't it? But there is a next -- and educational

side to it as well. Stephen runs the after school snooker club. Tell

others about functional snooker. That is based on helping the

children with their education and it helps them with their mathematics

and the literature, dear social skills. For example, we have

numbered balls here, we have some traction, addition and we have teams

and all the Red Bulls are numbered one to ten. And it just helps them.

You have had some great results with children who aren't so great with

their numeracy, haven't you? We have had amazing results, especially with

people who don't learn very well traditionally or people with

disabilities moral learning disabilities and they really take to

it, especially, as I say, the different way of learning commented

that structured classroom environment. Just briefly, it is

very popular in Asia, but not so much year after its 1980s heyday.

Are you trying to spot future talents as well? We certainly are.

I'm sure we've seen some future world champion to you. We're working

very hard to draw the game. We have this programme and the functional

snooker programme and we are working on snooker skills. I have to stop

you there. Although this is the first tournament, there are already

plans to make it an annual event. Now, not all road users are fans

of the humble caravan but a very special one has just gone on show

at the National Motor Yes, what makes this full size

caravan unusual is that it's made out of Lego bricks,

lots of them. It also has working lights,

and running water. The world-record breaking

construction took 12 model-makers from Hampshire over 1,000 hours

to build, and they've incorporated Sarah Farmer's been to take a look

and she's there for us now. Hello. Have a look at this for a

world record breaker. 215,000, 158 books have gone into this build of a

life-sized replica caravan. It has all the comforts as well. A cup of

tea, toast, freshly cut flowers, Leeds, running water and the works.

Dan Connolly is from the team behind this project. Tellers a little bit

about why you decided to do this. Apart from everybody loves Lego, the

idea was to support freedom of leisure vehicles and the old days

you can go on. The concept of caravanning has evolved over the

years. The idea behind it was to challenge ourselves. We had 12

difficult -- dedicated experts, over a thousand man-hours to build this

replica. The detail is absolutely fascinating. Thank you for joining

us. Well, it is here at the National motor Museum through the holidays

can drop the a touch but steering clear of the menace when we saw last

night. Until tomorrow morning, we get off to a bright start to the

day. We will see temperatures of around eight Celsius as people are

getting up, but it looks like we'll have some sunny spells. More cloud

in the picture than have had through the course of today. Tomorrow

afternoon, temperatures up to 12 Celsius but we could see those

temperatures nudging up to the Celsius.

Can make you want again tonight, but there will be cloud. Temperatures

reflect that, with the cloud, seven or eight Celsius, and they will fall

lower if we had the brakes on the cloud. Looking ahead to the

remainder of this week, dizzy promising few days ahead, so for

Friday, yes, it will be cloudy at pains but who will start to see some

get a change in that wind direction. It looks as if we will have some
