Welcome to South East Today. I'm Rob Smith. | :00:04. | :00:10. | |
And I'm Polly Evans. Tonight's top stories. More than 100 jobs under | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
threat in Dover as SeaFrance is put into liquidation. So why are French | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
workers celebrating? As youth unemployment reaches the | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
million mark, the Shadow Chancellor visits Kent and asks what is the | :00:20. | :00:30. | |
:00:30. | :00:32. | ||
Government's plan for jobs? We had a plan, the Chancellor should | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
listen to our plan for jobs and growth. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
Also in tonight's programme: Four more charge points for electric | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
cars in Brighton - but why are so few people using them? | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
It's a tall order - we meet the men repainting the Dungeness famous | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
lighthouse. Going from strength to strength, by | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
the skin of its teeth - refusing to give up the ghost. Happy 400th | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
birthday to the book that changed the English language - the King | :00:53. | :01:03. | |

James Bible. Good evening. The cross channel | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
ferry operator SeaFrance has been put into liquidation, after a court | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
in Paris rejected two bids to buy the company. It means 135 Dover- | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
based employees will be made redundant, and their ferries | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
between Kent and Calais will stop running at the end of January | :01:18. | :01:25. | |
unless a new buyer can be found. However, French workers were | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
actually celebrating the ruling today, saying it gives them more | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
time to raise the 50 million euros they need to give them a chance to | :01:31. | :01:39. | |
buy the company. Peter Whittlesea reports. | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
Police and minibus after police minibus, the threat of workers | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
scuttling the ferries has taken very seriously in Calais. These | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
ships were going nowhere, but at midday, SeaFrance was given a | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
reprieve with the French Court rejecting an offer St approved bid | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
would have to be submitted by December. The unions in France were | :02:05. | :02:13. | |
happy with this. The first time, the cut-off point was nearly half | :02:13. | :02:23. | |
:02:23. | :02:24. | ||
of the jobs and we were not convinced at all that the 460 | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
others would remain for a long time. Despite the reprieve, the police | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
remained. It was reported more than 1,000 officers were on standby in | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
Calais. The police presence start its here. Every car going end was | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
stopped and we spotted 20 mini buses full of riot police. To give | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
you an idea of security, a few seconds after we got out of the car, | :02:49. | :02:58. | |
we. By customs officers and asked to produce a passport. French | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
unions are asking to buy out the company, but British workers say | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
they do not care who buys the company as long as they keep their | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
jobs. I do not have a preference, we would all like to be employed, | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
but we want a solid future going forward and not constant | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
uncertainty every year. It is estimated the co-operative would | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
have to raise at least 50 million euros to have any chance of buying | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
SeaFrance. Financial experts think this is unlikely. I would imagine | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
like everyone else in the euro-zone, the appetite to lend money to a | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
business which is currently failing would be pretty slim. | :03:38. | :03:47. | |
The French workers celebrated the ruling today in Calais, but with | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
just six weeks left to save their jobs, the celebrations could be | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
premature. Peter Whittlesea with that report, | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
and he joins us live from Dover. There were no sailings today? | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
and as a result, the lorries are building up on the and 50. They are | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
trying to deal with the congestion problems. Now, the problem in Dover | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
is what will happen to those 135 people that work for SeaFrance | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
here? The French unions say the new way to safeguard those jobs is to | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
back a buyout plan. They will not comment on them claims, but | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
industry experts say, was going to lend money to workers who | :04:32. | :04:39. | |
threatened to scuttle their own ships? Coming up: How donations to | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
Pudsey are beating the bullies. With new figures out today showing | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
that youth unemployment has continued to rise across the | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
country, Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls came to Chatham to visit the advice | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
service Connexions. The number of 16 to 24 year olds out of work has | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
risen to just over a million, which is the highest since records began | :04:59. | :05:09. | |
:05:09. | :05:15. | ||
19 years ago. Our political editor Louise Stewart has this report. | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
On the day unemployment amongst 18 to 24 year-olds reached a record | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
high, the Shadow Chancellor came to Chatham to meet young people | :05:24. | :05:32. | |
getting CV and interview skills advice. The latest unemployment | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
figures array further blow to these young people a few miles away in | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
Maidstone, many of the have struggles to find work since | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
leaving school. I left school three years ago and went to college for | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
one year, and after that, I went looking for jobs everywhere like | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
pound land, different places like that, I gave in as many CVs as | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
possible and it is so difficult because they do not even replied. | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
It is very difficult, because outside, there is nothing, and | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
everywhere is closed. It is very difficult to find work in this | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
country. Am doing an apprenticeship ended his seeming a lot easier to | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
make his CV and you get more confidence to go out and get work. | :06:15. | :06:22. | |
The total has gone up to 6%, reaching 276,000 in the region. The | :06:22. | :06:31. | |
picture is similarly bleak are -- among the young with 1.0 2 million | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
people out of work. The challenge for young people in coastal towns | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
of the south-east where the unemployment level is higher is to | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
make sure that we give young people the best possible start to get into | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
those employment opportunities that are available. There is no doubt | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
there is a challenge persuading the employers to take out somebody | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
without experience. Through work experience and through the matching | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
service available, we try to get young people into an environment to | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
show employee has the potential that they have. One such scheme is | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
this one in Kent. We changed the strategy, rather than a scattergun | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
approach, we get them to find work experience with employers that | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
offer what they are looking for and it gives the personal touch and | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
employers are much more willing to take them on at the end of the day. | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
The Government says it has already taken on an initiative to get | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
people into work, but that is little consolation for those | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
dropping to find a job. A little earlier I spoke with the | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
Shadow chancellor Ed Balls and put it to him that the first time youth | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
unemployment had reached the million mark had actually been in | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
2009, under the then Labour government. | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
Before the global financial crisis, we had to lower youth unemployment | :07:47. | :07:55. | |
that we inherited in 1997. We had the financial crisis and then the | :07:55. | :08:04. | |
deficit at Kurds and. On the figures that I can see, that had | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
risen to 748,000 by 2004, well before the global crisis and that | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
was consistently high through to the end of the Labour | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
administration. You have got to measure that as a percentage of the | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
overall population, the fact is, the number of young people was | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
growing during that period. The overall level had come down, but it | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
then went up in the global crisis, but we acted with the future jobs | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
funds to get opportunities for young people. That was abolished, | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
the Government was trying to go faster with death as a true | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
reduction and now unemployment is rising to record levels, be the | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
high for young people, women and men, and having excuses or blaming | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
Labour in the past or the euro-zone, that is not responsible government. | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
They are in charge, they have got it wrong, they need to act, we had | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
a plan, that is the only way to get the deficit down, and I say to | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
people in Kent, there is a plan, we have got a plan. | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
Ed Balls, the Shadow Chancellor talking to me earlier - and you can | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
see the whole interview on our website, bbc.co.uk/kent. Our | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
political editor is here now, and Ed Balls say the Government needed | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
to change course to promote growth? Yes, that is the message from the | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
opposition, from Labour. Unemployment is always a hot potato, | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
bad news for the Government when it rises, but it clearly with the | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
young people and with women where it has done this now, but it is | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
worth noting that although unemployment has rivers in in the | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
south-east will be 6% in the last three months, it is lower than the | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
same time last year and still the lowest in the whole country. -- | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
unemployment has risen in the south-east. | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
And later in the programme we'll be examining how authorities are using | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
apprenticeships to tackle the problem of youth unemployment. | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
A man is accused of inciting looting in Hastings through his | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
Facebook site after posting a message saying he would be stealing | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
things for his young daughter. 27- year-old Nathan Sinden was arrested | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
during the height of this summer's riots when police were alerted to | :10:08. | :10:18. | |
:10:18. | :10:18. | ||
his Facebook page. Sarah Smith reports. | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
These were the pictures on our TV screens in August. Rioting and | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
looting in London that spread around the country leading police | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
officers anxious it would not happen in their area. Against this | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
backdrop, Neath in Sind and took to his computer. He wrote on his | :10:36. | :10:46. | |
:10:46. | :10:58. | ||
Facebook Page, let's start a riot In response to this message, he | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
said that. He told the court he had just been joking when he wrote | :11:02. | :11:09. | |
those lines. He said he had not been encouraging people to go out | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
and take part in disorder, to burble premises as accused, he had | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
just been messing around. A police officer told the court that these | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
messages and others like it had caused most shops and businesses in | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
the area to close early that night and that uniform officers were | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
deployed to the town centre as rumours of trouble circulated. He | :11:31. | :11:41. | |
:11:41. | :11:46. | ||
denies encouraging anyone to go looting. | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
Four new recharging points for electric cars have been installed | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
on the streets of Brighton and Hove - in addition to the four that were | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
installed at the start of last year. Drivers can recharge their vehicle | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
for free for a trial period, but there are concerns about the | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
numbers of people taking up the scheme. Our Environment | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
Correspondent Yvette Austin joins me now from Brighton. | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
If you have ever seen one of these before, this could be that filling | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
station of the future. �130,000 of money from Europe and the City | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
Council has been spent on providing aid of these. The money, it does a | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
lot, I know, but people are increasingly the way for word, but | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
the electricity from them has not been attracting as many people as | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
they would like, even though it is free. | :12:27. | :12:35. | |
You open up this hatch and you have two sockets, one is to have a fast | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
charge and the other one is for an ordinary charge. No more petrol | :12:39. | :12:46. | |
pumps, this new electric car says 60 to �70 a week in fuel costs. | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
This costs virtually nothing to run because the electricity is free | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
from these points. I have solar panels that tone, so it is also | :12:54. | :13:04. | |
free bear. I spend about �400 every month and diesel for other cars I | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
have got, but I do not do that now. In a city like Brighton with air | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
pollution problems, and emissions free car seems like the way forward. | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
These points produce power on tap, but the city council is | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
disappointed with the uptake of just 22 cars using them. Any new | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
initiative always takes a while to take off, but we would like more. | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
22 is a good start. The slow start may be because the average cost of | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
an electric car is nearly �30,000, one-third more expensive than a | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
normal ones. Begin take up to 10 hours to fully charged and it lasts | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
for just 100 miles, inevitably, views are mixed. I am in favour of | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
saving the ozone layer and whatever else, it is a good idea. You could | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
spend five hours driving up and then have to charge after the | :14:02. | :14:10. | |
charge goes out. It would work in Brighton. If you're not in Brighton | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
and there are no charge., what is the electric car version of a | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
petrol can? I have a generator that I had used about 12 times in the | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
last four months as an emergency supply. This is when the post has | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
not been available. It seems we cannot do without petrol just yet. | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
So, you can charge up here, go to London, charged there and get back, | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
also you can go to hide where there are some points and get back, but | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
it is a few and far between. The Government needs to invest in a | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
wide range of a network of these so that people can use the money where | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
they go. Thank you. | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
This is our top story tonight. Ferry operator SeaFrance has been | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
put into liquidation after a French court rejected two bids to buy the | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
company. More than 130 jobs in Dover are now under threat and | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
their ferries could stop running at the end of January, unless a new | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
buyer is found. Also in tonight's programme - | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
straight up, its a makeover. Dungeness Edwardian lighthouse gets | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
a new coat of paint. The book that's taken root and | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
turned the world upside down - how the King James Bible changed the | :15:16. | :15:26. | |
:15:26. | :15:27. | ||
The unemployment figures out today have been depressing reading - | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
especially for those aged between 16 and 24. Over the years there | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
have been a raft of ideas on how to get this age group into work. In | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
the '70s there was the Youth Opportunities Programme or YOPS. In | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
the '80s, Margaret Thatcher replaced YOPS with YTS or the Youth | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
Training Scheme. Then the last Labour government introduced the | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
Future Jobs Fund - scrapped in March this year. Now the coalition | :15:50. | :16:00. | |
:16:00. | :16:00. | ||
government's big idea is The Work Programme backed by many local MPs. | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
Apprenticeships lead to proper jobs and do my own constituency where we | :16:04. | :16:10. | |
did a campaign recruiting people, we got 181 people. I spoke to one | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
of the training providers, Sussex Downs College, and they said they | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
were getting 91 % conversion rate for all of their hospitality | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
apprenticeships. That means that most of their apprentices went into | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
full-time employment. government has also been pushing | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
apprenticeship schemes. Our reporter Charlie Rose has been in | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
Bexhill to see how youngsters have set up their own business as part | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
of their apprenticeship. 17-year-old Chris Evans is one of | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
their team young apprentices that got together and set up a business | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
here in Bexhill by being trained in IT skills. Until this scheme | :16:45. | :16:52. | |
started last month, he had been unemployed for one-and-a-half years. | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
By was looking all the time I was unemployed and that some response, | :16:55. | :17:02. | |
but I didn't get anywhere. Then I came here, and I got work | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
straightaway. One area involves selling unwanted items on the | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
internet for York will be bothered to not want to do it themselves. -- | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
local people who do not want. get a profit from it after the fees | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
had been paid. The training is funded by the Government, and a | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
local company employs the apprentices to run the new business. | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
The young people here are working very hard to achieve not Tony a | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
success now and profit now, but actually create jobs for the future. | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
What would you do if you're not doing this scheme? I would probably | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
be jobless. I don't know. Nationally, the jobless total has | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
had a record high, but the plan for the sin apprentices in Bexhill is | :17:47. | :17:57. | |
:17:57. | :17:58. | ||
to continue bucking the trend. There is more information on the | :17:58. | :18:08. | |
:18:08. | :18:10. | ||
It began helping mariners to navigate the English Channel back | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
in 1904. It's endured two world wars and it's believed the | :18:13. | :18:21. | |
Luftwaffe. Now a team of builders and decorators are helping restore | :18:21. | :18:30. | |
the Kent landmark. This is the Dungeness lighthouse. But it's not | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
just a ladder and paint job, as Chrissie Reidy reports. | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
It has been a long time coming, but after 15 years, the Dungeness | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
lighthouse is being finally restored. We will get through about | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
1.4 tonnes of paint on this lighthouse, putting four coats on. | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
Two coats are waterproof to protected from the elements and | :18:54. | :19:00. | |

gone there, they have all been bullied, and I tell them what it is | :22:49. | :22:56. | |
like for me, and then I say most of the ways that I learned, all of the | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
strategies. And that is how I dealt with the bully. It is like they had | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
