00:00 Hey there, Connor Gormley, I'm a trainee reporter for Sussex World here, and this is our daily
00:04 news bulletin where I run you through all of our top stories from across both East and
00:09 West Sussex today. A coroner's court has called for urgent changes to national guidelines
00:14 following the conclusion of an inquest yesterday. The court investigated the death of two-week
00:18 old Orlando Davis, who passed away as a result of a brain injury sustained during pregnancy.
00:23 The coroner concluded that Orlando's mother, Robin Davis, from Stenning, developed a condition
00:28 called hyponatremia during the pregnancy and clinical professionals did not know enough
00:32 about it to save her son's life. Claiming Orlando's death was simply one too many, the
00:38 coroner is calling for plan for changes to guidelines to help ensure midwives are better
00:42 prepared in future. In lighter news, towns in Sussex and Surrey have been named some
00:48 of the best to live in in the country by the Sunday Times. The full guide to the best places
00:53 to live went live online earlier today, and an abridged version will be available in print
00:59 on Sunday. It's the biggest guide they've ever produced as far as I know, with a real
01:03 focus on towns, with a palpable sense of community over towns with big names and even more expensive
01:10 houses. Wadhurst, Hove and Farnham in Surrey have all made the list, so it's well worth
01:16 checking out. Finally, a Channel 4 documentary which claims to present the raw and real sides
01:22 of after dark policing is set to return to our screens later this month. Night Coppers
01:27 was filmed in Brighton and Hove over the summer and focuses on the lives of police officers
01:31 and staff as they battle to keep our streets safe. That's all from me for the moment, but
