13/02/2017 Inside Out South East

The fishermen on drugs and out any input channel.

That's what we happen got to live with. Yeah gone from a hero

freshman, strong, great man, to a druggie.

We climb aboard the migrant buster Calais.

Would you do in Calais? Try to get to London.

And then you get on this bus? And organ donors have their final

wishes overruled. Is someone has taken the time and

effort to express their wishes by carrying a donor card, no I don't

think anyone have the right to overrule that wedge.

I'm Natalie Graham, with untold stories closer to home. From renters

are these plays, this is Inside Out. Welcome to the programme, which

Out in the channel, some of the Out in the channel, some of the

South East's fishermen are making 11 and often dangerous conditions. But

some of them are dying out at sea is, and the cause is not bad

weather. Another shipping cock for cats, the

heart of the Maritime and coastguard agency.

the weather is the biggest hazard the weather is the biggest hazard

here for fishermen. But BLEEP about to see, this isn't always the case.

This is a fishing boat from New Haven in Sussex. In 2009, I filled

out in the English Channel with her crew for a story about cod fishing

quotas. They're a nice bunch of lads, a close team, used to working

long hours under tough conditions. The boat can still be seen fishing

off the Kent and Sussex coast, but today she's one crew member short.

Darren Brown drowned last June. The drugs and vitamin and cannabis were

found by the Marine accident investigation Branch, hidden in his

bunk. It is an occupation where you need

to be in control of what you're doing. If you take drugs, that

affects the way you behave. It's like driving a car, if you take

drugs and drive a car, there lies madness and disaster.

June the 9th, last year. A rope got tangled around the propeller. Darren

decided he was going to untangle the robot by jumping overboard,

mid-channel. He had no life vest on and no safety rope. He drowned.

Accompany on June, not predict three cold. A bit choppy, but you just

don't expect it to happen like that. He said he would go in. They try to

talk him out of doing it. The fact that he thought he could

jump into this very cold water against a strong tide with a knife,

Tarzan-like, indicated he was perhaps under the influence of them

vitamins at the time. Mark Brown didn't have a clue his

older brother was using drugs at sea. The freshly heard was when

accident investigators told him what they'd found on Darren's bunker.

What was it the investigators found? Because we haven't found Darren's

whole-body com he's lost to the sea. They found amphetamines and I

believe cannabis as well. It's not something I was aware he was doing,

not something even his daughter was aware of. Talking to the people he

was working with, they were unaware as well. But that is what we have to

live with, that he's gone from a good, hero fishermen, to a druggie.

The death of Darren and the discovery of his drugs on the boat

is not an isolated incident. Our research indicates drug use at sea

by young fisherman is now a national problem. The Marine accident

were first to pick up on this were first to pick up on this

worrying trend. In the last to make years, 15% of fishing vessel

accidents have involved drug abuse. There's being clear evidence, to

postmortems or drugs being found on the vessels, that it is being an

issue. People are using drugs at a routine basis at sea. Their job is

dangerous and us as it is, why make it far worse?

SHIPPING FORECAST plays 200 miles up the channel at New

Haven, is the fishing port in Devon. Offshore, a Marine accident recovery

operation is underway. Breaking the water, they scavenger. She capsized

in July 2015, just after 3pm. When it sank, she took with her 33

wrought Shane Hooper, and 22-year-old skipper, Mike Hill. I

went to see his dad, Mickey Hill. At a very young age, he came to see

with me. Loved everything about it. A very good fishermen, I think it

was good to be one of the top ones out there.

They are a fishing family. The dad was at sea, and Mike followed in his

footsteps. Shane worked for the family business too.

Like two brothers. They talked about things, talked about girlfriends and

everything. And I looked at Shane as being like one of my chance, as he

would think I was like his dad, you know?

It was only after Shane's body was recovered, investigators discovered

he had a large quantity of amphetamine in his system.

When he was recovered, it the postmortem revealed he had traces of

amphetamine in his body. The levels indicated he was a wobbly using

amphetamines while he was on board the vessel, or shortly before the

vessel left for sea. -- probably using. Again, evidence that

amphetamines had been used. Was white Michael was a lot younger than

Shane, but he was the skipper. Would he have let Shane on that but

if he had known he was on amphetamine?

No, Michael would have thrown over the side. He was said and vitamin

was a pure man's jog. He would not have let him on that boat. -- poor

man's drug. There is evidence to suggest the use

of drugs at sea as a much larger problem than we had thought a few

years ago. I'm convinced that there years ago. I'm convinced that there

is an issue out there, and that issue needs to be addressed.

SHIPPING FORECAST PLAYS. Emerging out of the gloom, our third

case of drug use is the sinking of the Diamonds of the Shetland Islands

in 2014. Here she is, sitting on the bottom, hold after hitting a rock

just outside Port. One have crew drowned. The other, or skipper, made

it ashore. Both tested positive for heroin on the day of the accident.

The drugs were one of the drivers as to why she had that rock. That led

to the death of the crew. Three separate investigations, and

in each one, strong evidence that drugs have been taken by fishermen,

either before they went out to sea, whilst they were on the water.

It was time to tell behind the statistics. Was drug use by young

freshman more prevalent than anyone had thought? Dave has been a skipper

for 25 years, and has noticed a for 25 years, and has noticed a

shift in values. I would say and about the last ten

years I've noticed it. It seems to be the culture of the youth. Depends

on the drugs, doesn't it? If someone is on amphetamine, you can see

they're quick, impatience, very fast. A similar smoking marijuana,

they tend to be read-died, slow talking, not able to concentrate. I

won't have anyone like that work on my boat, that's where tend to work

alone. So what is amphetamine? And why does

it appear to be the drug of choice for fishermen going to see? The

charity Turning Point specialises in helping people turn off drugs like

and vitamin. Amphetamines are from a group of

drugs that still at the central nervous system. They're drugs that

increase alertness, a sense of wakefulness. For some people, it

increases a sense of confidence. Most jobs, it would be a risk to be

using those kind of drugs. There is a sense that drug-taking

has become a routine rather than an exception. So there are a lot of

indicators coming through that show perhaps the use of drugs is a much

larger problem than we had thought it was.

What can the Government agency that polices are fishing fleet do to stop

the rising number of deaths? We have, as a regulator, a real

responsibility here. Professional seafaring and drug abuse don't mix,

just like driving cars and drug abuse don't mix. We've got to try

and get this consciousness that it is an unsafe practice across a

fishing committees, through families, through seafarers, to the

industry as a whole. Nothing we can make a difference, but we're

protested at a proportionate, measured and sensible way.

The fishermen's mission is just one charity that is gearing up to try

and educate and support the families of fishermen were drug abuse may be

a problem. a problem.

We are putting extra resources into greater training for support staff

on alcohol awareness so they can spot some of the up issues so we can

help. We are also beginning to rot at programme of drug awareness for

fishermen of all ages, but particularly aimed at younger

of the real dangers are fishing of the real dangers are fishing

while taking dangerous substances. Because as you say it is beginning

to show to be a cause of accidents and deaths at sea.

When a fisherman is out at sea, it's is family who are left behind will

stop it's then the Government hopes to reach out to.

It's a task that needs education and help protect the loved ones and

families, the mothers, the girlfriends of the fishermen to

convince fishermen they are taking a huge risk by taking drugs when they

go to see. go to see.

DMS Hemed? Miss them like crazy, every day.

There isn't an hour goes by without thinking where are they? What are

they doing? You look at the stars at night and think, the brightest one

is my son, and that's the way you try to get through things. I tell

you what, you don't know what you've lost until you've lost it.

Glen Campbell reporting. Coming up on Inside Out: What is causing the

shortage of organ donations? I don't want to live every moment

thinking about it my phone rings, it could be a kidney. I don't want to

live like that. Last year, the Jungle name camp in

Calais was cleared, but migrants are coming up with inventive ideas to

attempt to cross the Channel without staying in Calais at all. The latest

involves public transport, as we now report.

Ravaged by fire, makeshift shelters raised to the ground in minutes. The

dramatic end of the migrant camp known as the Kelly Jungle. -- Calais

Jungle. Today, it's deserted. Enter by last year, I stood here and

watched as the Calais jungle burned down. I saw thousands of migrants

been taken to reception centres across France. Charities and are

saying hundreds of migrants have now returned, but they're living in

small camps, hidden from view. But where are they, and what new tactics

are migrants are using to get to Britain? Severity could can set

there? Yes. 20 or 30 people are popping up.

Do you know where they are? Yes.

Would you tell me? No.

those spotted face arrest. But we those spotted face arrest. But we

managed to find a spot in Calais. The house is totally derelict,

there's just one rumour where they're sleeping. If you come

through here, you can see some sleeping bags and blankets on the

floor. Someone has just been woken up. They stay here while they're

trying to get onto lorries into Britain.

Did you live in the old Jungle? Yeah.

How long have you been in Calais? Sense... Since 1st of July.

Last year? 2016? Yeah. I've been an Jungle until the

Jungle closed. But these migrants are the

exception. It's very difficult to stay in Calais without being

arrested. When the Jungle place was cleared, many of you occupants were

made to a camp 25 miles away. This is an area near Dunkirk. The only

place migrants can officially stay. They're free to come and go as they

please, but this is where they're given food and shelter, away from

Calais and the chance to jump onto vulnerable lorries. And yet, they're

still trying to get to Britain. Harmony people here in try to get to

get Britain? We have 300 shelters here. Every

shelter has many people in it. There must be 1500 people. Women and

children, everything. And many others people are trying to

get Britain? Everyone.

Everyone? Whitey risk your life trying get to Britain?

Well, I don't know how to tell you. Watch it we do? You have another

thing to tell us? What do we have to do? Go back to Iraq and either? In

the war and explosions, and the Government steals our money?

Siewert risk your life to get to Britain?

If I die, it's all right for me. I hope to die trying rather than go

back. But they're in a cab in Dunkirk, how

do they get to Calais? The answer is simple, they catch the bus.

What do you do in Calais? You try to get to London? And then you get on

this bus? Yeah, I get on this bus from

Dunkirk. So you've come back from Calais?

What have you been doing there? Try to get lorries?

Yeah. This is the 501 from outside Dunkirk

to Calais. The fair is just 1 euro. When the migrants arrived, they

spent time trying to climb into lorries. If unsuccessful, the

commute back for food and shelter and try again the next day.

I asked the bus driver as I got on if this was normal? She said, yeah,

every night migrants try and catch the bus. But they have a maximum

limit of 30 migrants allowed on the bus. Get me last night, at 60 people

try to get on the bus. -- she told me last night.

They're I've been told the reason why migrants catch the bus is

because if they catch the train they'll be intercepted by police.

Here, they can jump off the bus when they lie, and the police don't know

where they're getting off, and therefore they can do whatever

they're doing anything without being disturbed by the police.

The final stage of their journey is by foot. Disappearing into the

shadows on the outskirts of Calais. Lorry Parks are the main target.

Migrants attempt to break in then stow away on vehicles before they

cross the Channel. When he barks, that means he can smell something.

So the think probably people are hiding in the field the other side

of the fence. When you migrants were catching the

bus in the evening to go to Calais, but what I don't realise is that

they're doing it in broad daylight at lunchtime.

How many people here are coming over to Calais to trying get into

Britain? I cannot say how many people. But I

see sometimes when I come to Calais, the bus is full of refugees to come

to Calais. Just watching the migrants get on

the bus, we're now following it to see where they get off and see what

they do. They walked up here towards the big

Lorry Parks on the outskirts of Calais. Looks like they're waiting

here until the evening, then trying to get on lorries. As we approached,

they ran towards the motorway. So the focus is no longer they bought

itself. Improved security fencing means it's hard to breach. At any

migrants spotted walking the streets face immediate arrest, as we

witnessed for ourselves. The continued police presence has

stopped any new Jungle springing up. But now more and more migrants are

living in a camp that's a commutable distance, using the 501 bus to

Calais. Now, one of the greatest gifts you

can give is to donate your organs after your death. But even if you

decide to become a donor, saving a life is not guaranteed. Emma Thomas

explains. This is Lee. He was the pride and

joy of his mother, Alison. That's Lee on his first day at

Winston Churchill, Branson School in Woking. Very proud mama that day.

That's and Connell, the day he decided to terrorise everyone with a

crab. Full of mischief, as usual. He was very protective of his two

younger sisters. This is their last Mother's Day card that are received

from Lee. Mum, smile if you love me. Sorry.

Just a few months after his 21st birthday, Alison received a phone

call to say her son had been involved in a car crash, and was in

hospital. It was shocking. There were wires

and tubes and machines keeping him alive.

Lee was in a medically induced coma for six days. He didn't respond when

doctors try to bring him around. It was this Sunday morning we were

told that there was no hope for Lee. It was a strange, strange time. You

don't expect to be told your 21-year-old son is clinically dead.

You don't expect to be approached and asked if you'd be prepared to

donate his organs. It's not something we'd ever discussed as a

family. We'd never talked about it, know anyone it had affected. We'd

never even it a thought. never even it a thought.

The decision to donate an organ can make the difference between life or

death. When the decision is made not to

donate, then we know up to nine people on transplant waiting list

may not be transplanted as a result of that.

It's such an thing that somebody would donate to save someone's life,

and I don't even have the words to say thank you, because it's changed

my life. In Kent and here in East Sussex,

there are nearly 200 people waiting for a transplant.

Many people decide they want to donate their organs when they die.

But even when make their wishes known and carry a donor card,

sometimes transplants don't happen. Why is that and what is being done

about it? There is a desperate need for

organs, but some relatives are saying no to donating them, even if

their loved one has said yes, because they can't bear the thought

of them being removed or given to someone else.

In Kent any Sussex, as example, last year, there was 110 people who

received life-saving transplants. But and other side of that, there

were 16 people who died. Alison had a dilemma. Her son wasn't

on the organ donor register. But what do you was approached by the

nursing team, she remembered his little sister had been watching a

children's TV programme about organ donation, and as Lee to take her to

the doctors so she could sign the form.

in her little pink Paris, and I in her little pink Paris, and I

think that one moment was the moment I thought this was what he would

have wanted. So we agreed. I just knew at that time, if Lee was going

to die, I didn't want it all to be a waste.

Lee's organs saved two people's lives. Someone else who is alive

today thanks to a transplant is Jacqui. 20 years ago, she received a

kidney that saved her life. It is meant freedom, to do the

things I want to do. It's liberating. Sealed my boat from

Sweden, around Britain, and I'm about to take it to the Azores now.

But there is bad news, after some 20 years, had donated kidney is

failing. I don't live every moment thinking

about, if my phone rings, it could be a kidney. I don't want to live

like that. The sakes are high. And even that

they've managed to increase the amount of donations, it it's still

not enough. When I caught up with Tracy Gibson, she dug me five

families had recently gone against the wishes of their relatives and

overridden their decision to donate. Numbers seem tiny, but five patients

could potentially gone on to say 45 lives. Debate that in perspective,

in the South East, 16 patients -- sexy patients died waiting for

transplant. Every conversation helps, on the

front line is Jacqueline Kennedy. A specialist nurse walking into tough

situations, this is part of her job. She works in intensive care units

across the savvy space. She is there to support bereaved families and

raise the subject of organ donation. Sometimes there is one member of the

family he will object. In my experience, families will then tend

to support the know rather than the yes.

But is there another way of doing things? In Wales for instance, you

have knocked out system, where it's issue and everyone will donate

unless you make it clear you don't want to. But even though it did make

the difference between life and death, Jackie doesn't think reading

families should have to carry at the wishes of their loved ones, even if

they have signed up to the register. Well, that's their wish. I would

never take that from them, that's their loved ones, it's their

decision. So you would say that even the

kidney became available and the family said no, they would have the

right to say that? I don't think my personal opinion is

relevant there, the opinion is of the people, of the relations of the

person that has died. In hindsight, Alison wishes she had

spoken silly about it, because although she could bear to give away

to give away as other organs, she drew the line at his heart. It is a

decision he regrets. I think it is a waste, he was 21

coming had a healthy heart. Somebody probably died because they didn't

get that. But that another youngster, or a husband or a father.

Alison feels very strongly that families shouldn't be able to

override decisions. Is someone has taken the time and

effort to put their names down on the organ donor register, and

expressed their wishes by carrying a donor card, then no, I don't think

anyone should have the right to override that wish, no.
