00:07 People can enjoy exploring a 75-foot long model space rocket on Hastings Pier this weekend at a free touring exhibition.
00:14 The model rocket has been docked by the UK Space Agency as part of a captivating exhibition and will be in place over the weekend until September 4.
00:23 It forms part of the Space for Everyone tour.

00:35 Southern Rail is warning its passengers that there will be a limited service today and tomorrow due to industrial action.
00:41 Southern issued a reminder this morning that there will be no Gatwick Express, Great Northern or Thameslink service today.

01:17 A panel of three judges rejected the developers' case, meaning the Council's rejection of the planning application stood.
01:23 The Council said this was the latest defeat after a series of court challenges, but the developer is "continuing to press for permission to build 475 properties on the Green Gap between Worthing and Farring."
