Welcome to South East Today. Tonight's top stories. 1.6 million

:00:08.:00:11.

people's private details have been dumped in a landfill site by a Kent

:00:11.:00:21.
:00:21.:00:21.

NHS trust. It is 1.6 million individuals, addresses, dates of

:00:21.:00:29.

birth, G P number and NHS number. It should not happen. The tragic

:00:29.:00:33.

case of a Sussex woman who was killed by mouthwash in a dentist's

:00:33.:00:39.

surgery. And have you heard the one about the controversial comedian

:00:39.:00:44.

and the Archbishop? What happened when Frank Skinner Matt Dr Rowan

:00:44.:00:50.

Williams. New powers in the fight today's crime. Sussex Police are

:00:50.:00:56.

getting on their motorised bikes. And why turn and I -- Adolf Hitler

:00:56.:01:06.
:01:06.:01:10.

are on show in Margate as examples of teenage art. It has emerged the

:01:10.:01:14.

private details of more than 1.5 million people were dumped at a

:01:14.:01:20.

landfill site by a Kent NHS Primary Care Trust. It happened after ACT

:01:20.:01:25.

with the details was left in a Cabinet that was lost in an office

:01:26.:01:32.

move. The information of 1.6 million people has been put at risk.

:01:32.:01:42.

The disk contained names, addresses, and dates of birth. Thousands of

:01:42.:01:48.

pieces of confidential data about every one of us is kept by agencies,

:01:48.:01:52.

including the health service and financial institutions. The Data

:01:52.:01:57.

Protection Act was brought into reassure the information was kept

:01:57.:02:04.

secure, but it is useless when the data ends up in a landfill site.

:02:04.:02:10.

bomb 0.6 million individuals. Addresses, dates of birth of -- it

:02:10.:02:15.

is 1.6 million. This should not happen. Moving from premises to

:02:15.:02:21.

premises in the NHS. We have to have better control of data.

:02:21.:02:25.

Information Commissioner explained what went wrong. He said when

:02:25.:02:28.

planning the office move, the security it was considered and it

:02:28.:02:33.

was deemed appropriate to store it in the filing cabinet. It was found

:02:33.:02:39.

the team was not up-to-date with training at had not access to

:02:39.:02:45.

relevant guidance on disposing the CD. If you work somewhere like that,

:02:45.:02:49.

you would expect people to know those kinds of things should not

:02:49.:02:55.

happen. I do not want people to know what I am suffering from.

:02:55.:03:00.

is not the first time data has been lost. Campaigners say the latest

:03:00.:03:06.

incident shows procedures are too lax. This mistake has been made

:03:06.:03:10.

time and time again. The response we get is that they will teach

:03:10.:03:16.

staff how to properly deal with data protection. And we have shown

:03:16.:03:20.

it is a response after the fact as opposed to a preventative measure.

:03:21.:03:25.

The trust admits the breach was unfortunate but says the data was

:03:25.:03:35.
:03:35.:03:37.

not current. They stress they have increased security since. They are

:03:37.:03:43.

using encryption to prevent other breaches. Our reporter joins us.

:03:43.:03:49.

Why is this data considered so important. Information like this,

:03:49.:03:53.

according to NHS sources, they say names and addresses on their own on

:03:54.:03:58.

not important. When you combine it with patient numbers it is a

:03:58.:04:03.

different matter. You could phone the hospital and quote the number.

:04:03.:04:07.

They might ask a security question like a date of birth and you could

:04:07.:04:12.

potentially access the medical records. This information is almost

:04:12.:04:19.

a decade old. If you look at figures published by the Medway and

:04:19.:04:25.

Kent County Council, the population is 1.6 million. It looks like the

:04:25.:04:29.

trust could have lost personal information of everyone living in

:04:29.:04:39.
:04:39.:04:50.

Kent. A Sussex woman who died after being given a mouthwash at a dental

:04:50.:04:55.

surgery. Staff fail to recognise she was suffering from an allergic

:04:55.:05:00.

reaction. She had everything to live for the

:05:00.:05:04.

inquest heard. Despite mild learning difficulties, Sacha

:05:04.:05:11.

Rumaner had many friends and things were on the up. Her death was

:05:11.:05:15.

described as catastrophically fast. The effect on the family was

:05:15.:05:21.

devastating. The verdict brings a long awaited explanation to the

:05:21.:05:27.

tragic death of an exceptionally kind young woman. Nothing can heal

:05:27.:05:31.

the loss. Her family hope the recommendations the coroner made

:05:31.:05:37.

will lead to better understanding and management of allergies. It was

:05:37.:05:41.

here at this dental clinic where she was treated for pain after

:05:42.:05:47.

having a tooth removed. And and to set it was used commonly found in

:05:47.:05:51.

mouthwash., she turned pale, she slumped back in the chair,

:05:51.:05:58.

unconscious. The dental team failed to recognise she was suffering from

:05:58.:06:02.

an allergic reaction and missed an opportunity to give adrenalin. The

:06:02.:06:08.

coroner added that the speed of her death was overwhelming, making

:06:08.:06:15.

survival unlikely. Fatalities from this antiseptic are rare. It is

:06:16.:06:20.

used to disinfect. It is a common chemical used in dentistry. It is

:06:21.:06:28.

rare we have this sort of thing happen. Today, the NHS says that

:06:28.:06:37.

patient safety was a priority. They said patients' safety and

:06:37.:06:41.

procedures and will be looked at in the light of comments. Her death

:06:41.:06:46.

was unexpected and unintentional, said the coroner. She added it was

:06:46.:06:52.

a tragedy and lessons must be learned. Our reporter is at the

:06:52.:06:58.

dental clinic. What other recommendations did the coroner

:06:58.:07:05.

give? Three areas were highlighted for improvement. First, to the NHS

:07:05.:07:08.

Trust to review policy on resuscitation and to make sure

:07:08.:07:15.

equipment is available. And to ambulance staff, to make sure that

:07:15.:07:22.

staff recognise this sort of shock. And finally to make sure the

:07:22.:07:27.

potential impact of the antiseptic is recognised so that adrenalin can

:07:27.:07:34.

be given more promptly. In a moment, touchdown for the

:07:34.:07:44.
:07:44.:07:46.

public inquiry into a �25 million plan to expand Lydd Airport.

:07:46.:07:52.

It is not the most likely pairing. Tonight, the Archbishop of

:07:52.:07:58.

Canterbury has invited a man known for his comedy. Frank Skinner, it

:07:58.:08:03.

to interview him in front of a live audience. The aim is to engage

:08:03.:08:08.

people with Christianity. He denies it is dumbing down the church. Our

:08:08.:08:14.

reporter is there. It sounds like an unusual evening.

:08:14.:08:16.

In it will be interesting conversation. Dr Rowan Williams

:08:16.:08:22.

makes no apology. He sees it as a way that the Church engages in

:08:22.:08:27.

conversations people have in daily lives. I am sure Frank Skinner will

:08:27.:08:31.

be as opinionated as usual, but I wonder if he will tone down his

:08:31.:08:37.

jokes. It has struck me that the elephant man does not look like an

:08:37.:08:47.

elephant. If anything, he looks like fresh ginger. Frank Skinner, a

:08:47.:08:53.

comedian known for his laugh of swearing, stand up and strong views.

:08:53.:08:57.

Elton John is incredibly happy to be a father at 64. It will be nice

:08:57.:09:03.

not to have to worry about the difficult teenage years! Tonight,

:09:03.:09:08.

he will be in conversation with the Archbishop of Canterbury at a

:09:08.:09:15.

special event at Canterbury Cathedral. Have you seen Frank

:09:15.:09:22.

Skinner's shows. He is a modern comedian. I have met him a couple

:09:22.:09:28.

of times and we have chatted about a range of things. Some might say

:09:28.:09:34.

he is an unusual person to invite to the cathedral. All the more

:09:34.:09:37.

reason for inviting him. It would be very sad if the Church always

:09:37.:09:42.

spoke to predictable people. He has a religious faith and that is

:09:42.:09:47.

important to remember. It is not as if we are doing something

:09:47.:09:56.

ludicrously outrageous. You have been closely following the events

:09:56.:10:05.

in Wales. I have. The events are taking place close to the village

:10:05.:10:10.

where I grew up. I come from a family where most of my father's

:10:10.:10:16.

relatives were down the mines. It brings a lot of memories of a long

:10:16.:10:25.

history of disaster. That old saying, there is blood on the coal.

:10:25.:10:29.

The industry has cost a lot of people their lives. For my

:10:29.:10:34.

generation, we thought it was a thing of the past. This reminds us

:10:34.:10:39.

it is a dangerous profession. They take risks in their profession and

:10:39.:10:45.

they deserve our deepest sympathy. There were rumours in the press

:10:45.:10:49.

about your future and whether you might be considering wanting to

:10:49.:10:56.

resign before your time is due. Is there any truth in that? I do not

:10:56.:11:00.

have a decision to announce, when I do I will announce the decision. I

:11:00.:11:06.

do not want to be the President of the next Lambeth Conference. I have

:11:06.:11:11.

done one. That will be 2018. Between now and then I will think

:11:11.:11:17.

about it. I asked him if he had achieved everything he had wanted

:11:17.:11:22.

during his time. He said he had not. He said keeping the church on the

:11:23.:11:30.

map of British society was a job that was never ending. People have

:11:30.:11:34.

arrived, waiting for the event, in conversation between Frank Skinner

:11:35.:11:40.

and Dr Rowan Williams, it gets under way in an hour. A pedestrian

:11:41.:11:47.

has died after being hit by a lorry in Dover. It happened on A20 in the

:11:47.:11:52.

Samphire Hoe area. A third person has died as a result

:11:52.:11:58.

of a house fire in Chatham. Melissa Crook and her baby son died on

:11:58.:12:04.

Saturday. Her father, aged 49, died of his injuries in East Grinstead

:12:04.:12:09.

today. Three people, Danai Muhammadi, Farhad Mahmud and Emma

:12:09.:12:15.

Smith will appear at Maidstone Crown Court in November.

:12:16.:12:21.

A mother has been spared jail for threatening a schoolboy with a

:12:21.:12:26.

baseball bat over bullying allegations. Natasha he even

:12:26.:12:31.

Dartford said she was frustrated after her son's school failed to

:12:31.:12:39.

act. In court she was told that she -- her four children would not be

:12:39.:12:46.

deprived of their mother. The mother decided to take matters

:12:46.:12:51.

in her own hands and confront the bodies on the school bus. As I got

:12:51.:12:58.

out, I got the baseball bat from my pocket to let them know I had got

:12:58.:13:04.

it. I did not wave it around. said she had eight meetings with

:13:04.:13:08.

this call to sort the problem, but to no avail. Some people might say

:13:08.:13:17.

it was extreme? I do understand that. As a parent, you cannot sit

:13:17.:13:22.

back and let your child suffer. was arrested and found herself in

:13:22.:13:26.

the dark at Maidstone Crown Court. The judge said she was extremely

:13:26.:13:31.

stupid and she was given a suspended six-month sentence.

:13:31.:13:36.

act of desperation, she has a criminal record and the bullies are

:13:36.:13:40.

no doubt operating and it does not seem that the school is either

:13:40.:13:45.

willing or capable of dealing with it. The police have not dealt with

:13:45.:13:49.

it. It forces parents to take a vigilante action when they feel no

:13:49.:13:56.

one is there to help them. I did not want her to do it. I feared she

:13:56.:14:02.

would go to prison. She did not. Some charities say it is no

:14:02.:14:06.

surprise parents a push to the limit. It is a difficult call to

:14:06.:14:12.

make. I feel the judge needed to show that we cannot tolerate

:14:12.:14:19.

violence as a society. Nobody would speak to me on camera from the

:14:19.:14:24.

academy, but they refute the allegations made by the mother.

:14:24.:14:29.

They say it is a happy school and an improved school over the past

:14:29.:14:33.

few years. They said if bullying had come on, peoples would have

:14:33.:14:38.

been expelled. Her son is now attending another school and doing

:14:38.:14:42.

well. Sussex Police claimed then you use

:14:43.:14:47.

of technology is providing a crime- fighting success. The latest

:14:47.:14:52.

innovation is two electric bicycles. They might not have the glamour of

:14:52.:14:57.

high-speed motorbikes, but one has been instrumental in the arrest of

:14:57.:15:07.
:15:07.:15:08.

an offender. These motorcycles might have worked

:15:08.:15:13.

in California, in Sussex, they try a more environmentally friendly

:15:13.:15:18.

approach. They might not be designed for high-speed chases, but

:15:18.:15:24.

back tree power can be effective. When this Sergeant heard the call

:15:24.:15:28.

for an assault on a shopkeeper, he was miles away. He set off, putting

:15:28.:15:34.

the bike to the test. I came up by the hill. It was probably four

:15:34.:15:41.

miles. Before I knew where I was, I was in Hailsham, and the call came

:15:42.:15:47.

he had come running around the corner. It was great, I was there

:15:47.:15:52.

and I saw the man coming up around the corner and he was 20 yards away.

:15:52.:15:59.

The batteries can take the bike up to 15.5 miles per hour. It gives

:15:59.:16:04.

officers a break on the hills and it is cheap to run. It is a rural

:16:04.:16:08.

district. We struggle to get out to communities we serve. The bikes

:16:08.:16:15.

allow us to get out quicker. They help us to patrol the area better.

:16:15.:16:21.

The bikes were bought by a partnership, and if the trials

:16:21.:16:25.

continue to be a success, they could be introduced across the

:16:25.:16:34.

county. The top story. It emerged the

:16:34.:16:38.

private details of more than one- and-a-half million people were

:16:38.:16:41.

accidentally dumped at a landfill site by a Kent NHS Primary Care

:16:42.:16:45.

Trust. It happened after a CD containing details was left in a

:16:45.:16:48.

filing cabinet lost in an office move.

:16:48.:16:58.

Also, slow progress. The project to protect a tiny rare snail. And the

:16:58.:17:02.

teenage artists who include David Hockney and Adolf Hitler have come

:17:02.:17:11.

to Margate. After seven months of hearings, the

:17:11.:17:15.

public inquiry into plans to expand an airport in Kent has closed. The

:17:15.:17:19.

owners of Lydd Airport promise a jobs boost, but opponents say it

:17:19.:17:23.

would be an environmental disaster. If given permission, �25 million

:17:24.:17:27.

would be invested in the airport, with an extension to the runway and

:17:27.:17:31.

a new terminal, which would handle up to half a million passengers the

:17:31.:17:41.

year. If final decision rests with the government. -- a final decision.

:17:41.:17:45.

This is a small rural town. Businesses have to work hard to

:17:45.:17:50.

make ends meet. Business might not be booming, but it has an airfield

:17:50.:17:54.

with ambitions of becoming an international airport that could

:17:54.:18:00.

change that forever. We are next to the site for the proposed new

:18:00.:18:04.

terminal that would extend from here to about where the lighting

:18:04.:18:10.

stand is. The airport wants to extend the runway more than 200

:18:10.:18:13.

metres and build a terminal to handle half a million passengers a

:18:13.:18:18.

year flying to European holiday destinations. We need to replace

:18:18.:18:23.

this old Fifties building and also extend the runway so that it can

:18:23.:18:30.

take the aircraft of choice of most of the carriers, which is the

:18:30.:18:35.

Boeing 737 and Airbuses. But there has been a sustained campaign

:18:35.:18:39.

against the proposal, which groups arguing their case at the public

:18:39.:18:45.

inquiry. It is among some of the most protected habitats. It is

:18:45.:18:51.

beside a major nuclear power station. It isn't right beside

:18:51.:18:58.

military ranges. On environmental grounds and safety grounds and need

:18:58.:19:03.

grounds, that is the basic tenet of our objection. It takes no more

:19:03.:19:07.

than 20 minutes to get across the Channel. There is a history of

:19:07.:19:13.

people choosing Lydd Airport to fly to Europe. In the 1960s, it carried

:19:13.:19:17.

hundreds of thousands of passengers to satisfy the demand for cheap

:19:17.:19:22.

foreign holidays. We had a policy of stacking them high and selling

:19:22.:19:32.
:19:32.:19:32.

them low! That is what it was. The numbers went up enormously.

:19:32.:19:37.

planning inquiry has come to an end. The inspector will put his

:19:37.:19:47.
:19:47.:19:51.

recommendations in front of the minister in the next few months.

:19:51.:19:57.

A �48,000 project is under way to safeguard A-star tiny snails. The

:19:57.:20:01.

shining ram's horn snail has suffered a catastrophic decline in

:20:01.:20:10.

the past 60 years. The areas involved are Lower Stour Marshes

:20:10.:20:18.

and Pevensey in East Sussex. An abundance of wild life. It is

:20:18.:20:23.

scooped from a ditch near Canterbury. The unusual marshy,

:20:23.:20:28.

silty conditions and ideal habitat, particularly for one rare form of

:20:28.:20:34.

snail. We have two kinds of snail, ones like this, which are that

:20:34.:20:41.

shape, and the flat ones. They are the ram's horn snail, which we are

:20:41.:20:46.

particularly interested in. These snails are normal, except one of

:20:46.:20:54.

those that is rare, that little one. That is the shiny ram's horn snail.

:20:54.:21:00.

It is thought to exist in just four locations in England. It is victim

:21:00.:21:06.

to pollution and habitat destruction. Have you found many?

:21:06.:21:12.

Yes, in a particular bit over there we found 53, which is unusual. We

:21:12.:21:20.

have only found one, two, in a lot of ditches. We were surprised to

:21:20.:21:28.

find so many. In the laboratory, they are studying the

:21:28.:21:30.

characteristics and likes and dislikes with the aim of boosting

:21:30.:21:36.

their numbers in the wild. We will take a small group from outside and

:21:36.:21:41.

bring them in to find the perfect conditions for them to grow in and

:21:41.:21:47.

reproduce that so that many generations and then take those

:21:47.:21:51.

generations outside into a habitat we can control and from there take

:21:51.:21:56.

them to the field. The work is more than just an effort to save the

:21:56.:22:02.

snail. If we can save it, we will save species associated with this

:22:02.:22:09.

rare habitat that you do not find very much across Kent. The work

:22:09.:22:15.

should ensure safe havens for the snail.

:22:15.:22:20.

An animal sanctuary has condemned pranksters for painting a donkey

:22:20.:22:28.

with separate strike its. Staff at the trust in Uckfield found that

:22:28.:22:34.

the donkey had been painted, but he is none the worse for his ordeal.

:22:34.:22:40.

It is a busy weekend of football. Brighton and Hove Albion will be

:22:40.:22:45.

looking for three wins in a rare as they take on Leicester City.

:22:45.:22:50.

Charlton hope to extend their 100% away record when they play Rochdale.

:22:50.:22:54.

Crawley Town are at home to Bradford and Gillingham travel to -

:22:54.:23:00.

- travel to Hereford. The Turner Contemporary opens its doors with

:23:00.:23:05.

the new show this weekend and features works by 94 artists,

:23:05.:23:11.

including David Hockney, Andy Warhol, Peter Blake and Turner. The

:23:11.:23:14.

centre hopes to continue its impressive opening months, with

:23:14.:23:24.

visitor numbers exceeding all estimates. The show takes the title

:23:24.:23:34.
:23:34.:23:34.

from an Oscar Wilde quote, "there is nothing in the world but youth".

:23:34.:23:40.

What is useful? What can we learn from it? -- What is it about being

:23:40.:23:48.

useful? There has been a lot in deep media about young people.

:23:48.:23:53.

There are conflicting opinions about young people, certainly in

:23:53.:23:57.

response to the recent events. We were already aware that young

:23:57.:24:03.

people had been something young people -- that the media had

:24:03.:24:10.

fixated on. There is a booming rendition of the Smiths from all

:24:10.:24:16.

over the world. And a stage jacket worn by David Boughey. They Peter

:24:16.:24:26.
:24:26.:24:26.

Blake Self Portrait, -- David Bowie. We held a schools competition in

:24:26.:24:31.

Kent and asked people to respond to the theme. We had 450 entries and

:24:31.:24:36.

four winners have their work in the exhibition alongside Turner and

:24:36.:24:43.

Andy Warhol. And here are four watercolours painted by Turner

:24:43.:24:48.

himself in Margate and Thanet when he was 11 years old. Since April,

:24:48.:24:56.

more than 225,000 people have visited the Turner Contemporary.

:24:56.:25:03.

The business model had hoped for 156,000 in the first year. It is

:25:03.:25:08.

visitors and they make a real difference to Margate's fortunes.

:25:13.:25:18.

They have called on names such as the Victoria and Albert Museum and

the Tate Gallery. The Turner Contemporary is on the cultural map.

:25:26.:25:31.

Over the next three months, BBC Radio Kent will feature interviews

:25:31.:25:37.

with some of the artists in that exhibition. There is a lot of

think it will stay. I am afraid not. It is just about

:25:45.:25:53.

to change. Overnight, not as cold as last night. Once again, we are

:25:53.:25:59.

seeing a build-up of cloud cover. Today, it was very lovely, as you

:25:59.:26:04.

even the beginning of next week is looking miserable. It is not just

the story of a miserable weekend and then waking up on Monday to

glorious sunshine. It is going downhill. Even though, by the

beginning of next week, it is a beginning of next week, it is a
