00:00 Hi, my name is Simon Sussex-Warden and today's top story is from Arrondon County for Friday, October 13th.

00:07 A lucky dad of two has won the keys to a beautifully renovated cottage in Devon worth over £2m,

00:12 as well as £1,000 in cash as part of a campaign that has raised £1.7m for Macmillan Cancer Support,

00:18 the charity that supported his late father.

00:20 Simon Williams, 41, has won the latest Omaze Pound House draw,

00:25 a five bedroom property set amidst enchanting woodland that borders Dartmoor National Park.

00:29 The house comes mortgage free with all stamp duty and legal fees covered

00:33 and Simon is free to either live in the house, rent it out or sell it to become a cash multi-millionaire.

00:39 As Simon decides to rent it out, local estate agents estimate that the property

00:43 could achieve a long-term monthly rental value of almost £3,000 a month.

00:48 Families in the Eastbourne area can now access a range of support services under one roof

00:53 as two new family homes have opened their doors.

00:56 Sian Morton Devon has shared the latest of 11 family hubs East Sussex County Council has opened this year,

01:01 giving access to a host of professionals.

01:04 Visitors to the two hubs can get support and advice from midwives, health visitors,

01:08 early communication support workers, early years practitioners, community engagement coordinators

01:13 and early help key workers, while activity sessions will give children, parents and carers

01:17 the chance to socialise and support their children's needs and development.

01:22 And finally, police are appealing for witnesses to an incident that happened at a protest event held in Sussex.

01:28 Counter-terrorism policing South East has launched an investigation focusing on a speech

01:32 made by a woman at the protest on Sunday October 8th following the recent attacks by Hamas on Israel.

01:38 On October 12th, a 22-year-old woman from Brighton has been arrested in connection with this investigation

01:50 Police officers would like to speak to anyone who attended the protest event,

01:53 and in particular anyone who might have video footage of the protest and speech.
