Brighton Pride

Police say they are looking for a 14-year-old Crawley girl who went missing after visiting Pride in Brighton on Saturday.

Georgia Holder was last seen in the area of The Level around 6.20pm. It is thought that she was in the company of two male friends, possible called Ollie and Reagan, along with a younger girl.

Georgia is described as white, 5' 4", of slight build with with very long curly dark brown hair, hazel eyed and with a ring through her bottom lip, piercing to her right eyebrow, numerous piercings to her ears and wearing large, hooped earrings.

At the time she disappeared, she was wearing a white top, black jeans, pink cardigan and blue heels.

She may still be in the company of the boys. 'Ollie' is described as white, 6', slim, with short brown hair, bad teeth and wearing a blue T-shirt. He had a scrape on the right side of his lower back. 'Reagan' is white, 5' 2", slim with short brown hair and wearing a white T-shirt.

Police say Georgia is extremely vulnerable due to her age. If you know of her whereabouts or see her, please call 101 quoting serial 1342 of 01/08.

Police investigating a bomb scare at Brighton's Pride event at the weekend say it could be linked to a similar device - found in the car park of the city's Marina last month.

The annual parade had to be held back for an hour and a half, following the discovery of a suspect package placed near the start of the route in Hove on Saturday.

Today police said they're investigating whether or not the devices were being used as pin-hole cameras to take photos. Andy Dickenson reports.

A bomb hoax which forced a major gay pride march to drop its new high profile route was deliberately designed to disrupt the event, Sussex Police said.

Specialist officers carried out a controlled explosion on the "suspect package", discovered on Brighton seafront shortly before the Brighton and Hove Pride parade was due to start.

Organisers had a planned a new "high profile" route for 2015 along the city's popular coastline but after a delay of more than an hour and a half were forced to resort to their former route.

Chief Superintendent Nev Kemp said:

A bomb scare delayed the start of Brighton Pride by over an hour today. The opening parade had to be re-routed after the discovery of a suspect package on the seafront. It was safely blown up by army bomb disposal experts. Pride is celebrating its 25th anniversary, and organisers say there's a record turnout of around 200,000 people. Malcolm Shaw reports.

Delays on both sides of the Channel caused by the Calais crisis are costing the Kent economy around £1.5 million a day, the county council estimates.

This figure includes lost revenue to tourist attractions such as Leeds Castle, but not the cost to other authorities such as the police and highways which implement Operation Stack.

Meanwhile, the UK logistics industry is losing around £750,000 a day because of Operation Stack, according to the Freight Transport Association (FTA).

FTA Deputy Chief Executive James Hookham said: "This is the country’s GDP and export standing still in these horrendous queues caused by the situation in Calais."

The operation has been implemented on 24 of the past 40 days, largely due to problems with migrants in France and ferry strikes.

Kent Police have extended Operation Stack to cover five junctions of the M20 as heavy freight traffic and disruption at Calais continue to cause delays.

The motorway closure will now run between junctions 8 and 13, affecting the coastbound traffic.

Tourist and local traffic is being diverted onto the A20 from Junction 8 at Hollingbourne to allow backed-up freight traffic to park on the coastbound carriageway of the M20. Channel Tunnel-bound traffic can then rejoin the M20 at junction 11.

Police had earlier said that the problems were being exacerbated by freight drivers trying to bypass the queues on the M20 by joining the domestic traffic.

More migrants attempted to reach Britain from Calais via the Channel Tunnel on Wednesday night, a day after a man was crushed to death under a truck.

Hundreds of migrants, some seemingly as young as 13 or 14, gathered for a third night along the fence to the freight terminal at Coquelles.

Around 15 were seen climbing through a hole in the wire before using clothes to help them jump over the first of two fences.

French police arrived in riot vans and rounded up some of the migrants, while three or four ran towards parked lorries.

Hundreds of migrants have continued to clash with the authorities in their bid to gain access to cross-channel terminals in Calais.

Groups of migrants have been seen walking along the motorway in Calais this evening.

ITV News captured video footage of numerous groups, carrying plastic bags full of belongings, climbing over motorway barriers and making their way across the busy stretch of road:

Prime Minister David Cameron has defended his Government against claims its action in response to the Calais migrant crisis is "too little too late" in dealing with "foreseeable" problems on both sides of the Channel Tunnel.
