Welcome to South East Today I'm Bryony. I'm rob Smith.More backing | :00:07. | :00:16. | |
for fracking. The Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, gives his | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
cautious support. It will not solve all the energy problems of this | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
country, it might, it can play a role to keep people's bills stable | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
and low. Vulnerable children are being placed in potentially | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
dangerous situations. The new plan to prevent children from being sent | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
from London to Kent's deprived seaside towns. We are live in Thanet | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
with the story. Also tonight: Years of feeling ignorant and under | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
confident. The mother campaigning for symptoms of dyslexia to be | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
better recognised. The 19—year—old Afghan and his Foster family | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
celebrating after he was given leave to stay in the UK. I always found | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
that things got trickiest when you are off your feet. Comedy gold and | :00:57. | :01:06. | |
still going on her 90th birthday. A new exhibition is opened in honour | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
of Dora Bryan. Good evening. On the eve of the | :01:07. | :01:21. | |
start of his party's conference, the Liberal Democrat leader, and keg | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, has gone further than ever before in | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
backing the controversial process of fracking. Nick Clegg told this | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
programme that so long as safeguards are put in place to minimise the | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
impact then, considering their potential economic benefits, he | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
would welcome fracking as part of our energy mix. The anger felt over | :01:38. | :01:45. | |
fracking has found a focus here. protests have led to dozens being | :01:45. | :01:53. | |
arrested, including the Green MP Caroline Lucas. The Liberal Democrat | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
Energy Secretary has warned of the dangers of a dash for gas. His party | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
leader spoke out in support of fracking. We shouldn't just ignore | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
the whole technology and put a complete taboo on it and say there | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
should never be any fracking. It will not solve all the energy | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
problems of this country. It might and it can play a role m in what I | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
would call a mixed array of different ways of producing energy | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
to keep people's bills stable and low. Doesn't play out well with your | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
supporters in places like Sussex? Well, look, if you are in a | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
community where you are dead set against what is happening locally, I | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
understand this provokes strong feelings. Most people in the country | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
at large accept that we've got to wean ourselves off this over | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
reliance on polluting, imported oil and gas from other parts of the | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
country where the price goes up—and—down because of international | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
price changes which then affect people's bills. Liberal Democrats | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
coalition partners, the Conservatives, have always been more | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
supportive of plans to frack, which they say could help secure future | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
energy supplies and drive down bills. The Energy Minister is going | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
on a fact—finding trip to America next week where a fracking boom is | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
underway. Over the summer there has been a huge amount of hysteria in | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
the UK over fracking. I want to cut through the shouting and see for | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
myself what works, what doesn't, where is it effective and where we | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
need to think carefully about the environment. I will talk to the | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
people who have it in their community. Here in the UK, the | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
public in the US is divided. I don't think the public in Britain | :03:32. | :03:47. | |
are aware of how many wells this will involve in it gets the green | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
light. It's an explore Tory well. This is symbolic, Balcombe. We are | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
talking about thousands and thousands and thousands of wells. | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
There will be environmental damage done no, question about it. Even the | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
industry itself will accept that. Liberal Democrats meet for their | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
annual conference this weekend. Backing from the leader may do | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
little to win over some of the party's grassroot supporters. Louise | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
is alongside me in the studio. It's a controversial issue. How difficult | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
is this for Nick Clegg politically? Very difficult for Nick Clegg, isn't | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
it? The Conservatives have always been much more up for fracking, if | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
you like. The Liberal Democrats have shied away from it. Many in the | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
party, including the Energy Secretary, believe it's the wrong | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
way to go. They say it risks causing damage to the environment. Now that | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
he is saying that he cautiously welcomes it, he could back fracking | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
as part of the future energy supply. He has to walk that tightrope of | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
trying to keep his coalition partners onside and not alienating | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
grassroots supporters. An area like Sussex where they have only two | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
Liberal Democrat MPs in the south—east by backing fracking they | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
could lose a lot of support ahead of the next general election. Thank you | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
very much. The MP for Thanet, Laura Sandys sand, a has said today that | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
some looked after children in her constituency have been placed in a | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
"potentially dangerous situation" by people who are supposed to be caring | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
for them. Laura Sandys has welcomed a move by the Education Secretary to | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
ensure that vulnerable children are not being place into homes miles | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
away from their families, which is a particular issue in seaside resorts | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
such as Thanet. Figures last year showed 1200 looked after children | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
were moved to Kent from 95 different local authorities. The numbers are | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
highest in Thanet, where 243 of the children were sent. Simon Jones is | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
there tonight, why is it happening? I'm in Cliftonville, this is the | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
main shopping street, off it are many residential streets with large | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
houses which can be ra bought extremely cheaply. Some have been | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
bought by people wanting to set up childrens homes. Others have been | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
bought by agencies wanting to set up sex offenders and paedophiles. For | :06:16. | :06:31. | |
vulnerable children to be cheek by jowl with problem environments. It's | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
dangerous. What we should be doing is putting them in the safest | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
environment we can possibly find. That is our responsibility. The | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
London councils could be putting these children in danger? I think | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
they could be. This man spent many years in care. He repeatedly | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
suffered abuse. I tried running away. I was classed as a problem | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
child I wanted to run away from the situation. I called the police. What | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
did the police do? They brought me straight back. Social workers never | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
believed what was going on. In Cliftonville feel it's not a | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
suitable place for vulnerable children. If I had a kid, I'd move | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
away. I wouldn't say it was a good area at all. It's a nice place. At | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
the same time, I don't think so, we have a high percentage of | :07:19. | :07:27. | |
paedophiles here. Really, have the children and get rid of the | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
paedophiles. Moved from Manchester. I like it here. My kids are happy | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
where they are. The Government announced Ofsted would only allow | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
new homes to be opened in safe areas. And those in less safe areas | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
must demonstrate they can protect children. Senior council officials | :07:44. | :07:52. | |
must approve out of area placements. There are too many councils placing | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
children many miles away from home in childrens homes. They are plating | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
children with foster carers. At long last I'm hopeful we will see action | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
to require authorities to place children as close to home as | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
possible except by exception to protect them. The MP brought the | :08:11. | :08:20. | |
Education Secretary, Michael Goef, to Cliftonville to show him one | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
particular street we have been asked not to identify where you have | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
several childrens homes and where it houses paedophiles. That may have | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
influenced his decision today to describe the situation of children | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
being sent from London to Kent as "indefensivable." Thank you. Coming | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
up: The terrifying manned flying bomb that the Germans never got the | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
chance to use. Restored and on display at the Southern Model | :08:50. | :08:59. | |
Airshow this weekend. A mother from East Sussex is calling for more | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
training for teachers so they can better recognise the symptoms of | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
dyslexia. It took four years for Shereen Bower's son, Bradley, to be | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
diagnosed. She ended up having to pay privately for him to be tested. | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
Those years of feeling unconfident and even ignorant now mean the | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
12—year—old is too afraid to go to school. The tests, how did you find | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
the tests? This mother battled for four years to get her son's dyslexia | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
recognised by the authorities. Bradley finds it difficult to read | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
and write. The 12—year—old no longer likes going to school. I asked him | :09:36. | :09:43. | |
why it's so hard attending class? I don't want to embarrass myself. | :09:43. | :09:51. | |
Bradley was screened by a special needs teacher at primary school. | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
Nothing was picked up. After years of asking for help, his mother paid | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
£450 to an educational psychologist to test her son. Within 24—hours | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
Bradley was diagnosed as being severely dyslexia. The worst part | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
for me is knowing all along that no matter how much I asked for help, I | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
didn't get it. How much he suffered because I can't imagine what he must | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
have gone through in every subject, not being able to understand what | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
was put in front of him. How hard... No wonder he made himself sick. No | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
wonder he gave himself migrains about going to school. In a | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
statement Bradley's school said: He is having a great deal of | :10:36. | :10:57. | |
difficulty reading for comprehension. He would have | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
difficulty reading work sheets. His spelling would be deeply irregular. | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
He would feel bad about the work he produced, even if he managed to | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
produce any. A lot of teachers aren't trained to spot dyslexia in | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
the classroom. It gets missed. We are trying to campaign hard for | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
teacher training to include a component about dyslexia so teachers | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
are equipped to spot the signs in the classroom. Armed with her | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
independent diagnosis, she wants her son to go to a special needs school | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
where she says Bradley can begin to catch up on the four years of | :11:36. | :11:44. | |
education he has lost. An airgun attack, which left a cat blind and | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
with pellets embedded in his body, has been described as "owl wardly | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
and vicious" by animal welfare experts. Billy, a two—year—old | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
stray, was found with severe injuries in Lingfield in Surrey. | :11:58. | :12:05. | |
X—rays showed he had at least four pellets in his skull and a number of | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
others in his body. A veterinary officer said it was remarkable the | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
animal survived the attack. The Government's being urged to give the | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
go hayed to the bewildered of the main rail route between Kent and | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
East Sussex. Did the Ashford to Hastings line was closed for nine | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
weeks last year while maintenance work took place on the Ore Tunnel. | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
The Conservative MP for Hastings, Amber Rudd, told the Commons that | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
the track should be upgraded. Three men who carried out a spate of | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
burglaries and robberies in Kent have been jailed for a tote l a —— | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
total of 30 years. Jeremy Waller and Anthony Wood and George Dunn from | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
Marden carried out two burglaries and two robberies in less than | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
two—days in January this year. In one case a woman was threatened with | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
a large knife and pulled to the floor by her hair while the men | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
stole jewellery from her. The family of 69—year—old Chatham woman who | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
vanished without trace from a busy street more than a week ago say they | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
are distraught and electrification by her disappearance. Harjit Chaggar | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
has not been seen since she visited a doctor's surgery a few minutes | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
walk from her home. The family have made another emotional appeal for | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
help in finding her. Every day we are just thinking something will | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
come up. Something... We will get a lead as to where she might be. That | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
hasn't happened. I think the longer it keeps going on, the more and more | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
frantic we are getting. Her family describe her as a confident person | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
who has lived in Chatham for 40 years. There is no way she could | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
have got lost after going to an Asian women's group and this | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
doctor's surgery. She was captured on CCTV cameras and then suddenly | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
disappeared. She carried on down Luton Road. Gone into the hotel | :14:05. | :14:15. | |
globe food shop and walked to Luton Archers. She is caught at Maplin | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
Stores, that was the last we saw Archers. She is caught at Maplin | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
her. Have helped the family to piece together her last movements. It's so | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
out of character. If she is going to go anywhere, it's well planned. We | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
know where she is going to go and who she would be with. This is | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
just... It's such a mystery that nobody has seen her. The police | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
believe someone must have and that nobody has seen her. The police | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
could provide a vital clue to her whereabouts. Peter is in Chatham. | :14:45. | :14:54. | |
What is the next step? The police are worried about Mrs Chaggar's | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
welfare. Her bank accounts haven't been accessed —— accessed since she | :15:01. | :15:08. | |
went missing. The police are also appealing for information saying | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
anyone who saw her after 4.00pm on September 2nd should contact them | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
saying even insignificant pieces of information could be important and | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
provide a vital lead so they can find her. Thank you. Our top story. | :15:20. | :15:29. | |
The Liberal Democrat leader and Deputy Prime Minister has gone | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
further than ever before in backing the controversial process of | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
fracking. Nick Clegg told this programme that so long as safeguards | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
are put in place to minimise the impact he would welcome fracking as | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
part of our energy mix. Also tonight: You're hurting me.BAFTA | :15:42. | :15:50. | |
and Olivier for a career spanning decades. The new exhibition | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
dedicated to Sussex actress, Dora Bryan. This weekend is looking wet | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
and windy. Join me later in the programme for the details. | :16:00. | :16:08. | |
Naj Hashimi fled Afghanistan after the Taliban had killed his father | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
and brother. He ended up living with a Foster family in Kent, passed 13 | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
GCSE's and place cricket for his local club side. Last year, his new | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
found stability was thrown into turmoil, when he turned 18, the | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
Government told him he had to return to Afghanistan. After a long | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
campaign Naj has now been told he can stay. We have been to meet him | :16:31. | :16:40. | |
for tonight's story update. He fled the Taliban and left his family when | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
he was 14 years old. Now 19, Naj Hashimi says he has another family | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
here in Kent. For more than two years, he has been battling to stay | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
in the UK. This morning, he got some good news. It was amazing. I | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
couldn't believe it when the solicitor phoned me up and said, | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
"you won the appeal. The judge allowed you you to stay in this | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
country. He thinks you should be allowed to stay in this country." I | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
was jumping around like crazy. I didn't know. It was so exciting for | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
me. He arrived in the UK illegally in 2009 and spent four years living | :17:19. | :17:26. | |
with a Foster family. He was told he would be deport deported in March. | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
He was granted a temporary reprieve on the 21st. Legal proceedings | :17:31. | :17:37. | |
began. His application was initially rejected because Afghanistan was | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
seen as a safe place. I do think generally we should be looking to | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
get people back to Afghanistan and to reestablish a life there. It was | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
his relationship with his Foster family and particularly his Foster | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
brothers that helped him win his appeal. My sons are quite young. | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
Four years of a young person's life is a lot. They have grown... They | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
are brothers. Suddenly, to lose a brother, and they can see no good | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
reason for it, would be very traumatising and they wouldn't | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
understand it. A keen sportsman, Naj wants to go to university and teach | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
PE. This country gave me so much. I want to give it back to them. It's | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
not just about my life, it's about giving back to this country as well. | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
That's the thing I want to do. For the last four years this country has | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
given me so much. He has a nervous two week wait to see if the Home | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
Office will (inaudible) the ruling. As the Second World War drew to a | :18:35. | :18:51. | |
close, the Germans developed a terrifying new weapon of mass | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
destruction, a manned V1 rocket bomb to be used to target high profile | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
buildings like Buckingham Palace. They were never actually used. | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
Almost all of them have been destroyed. This weekend, at the | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
Southern Model Airshow, one of the few that has survived is going on | :19:08. | :19:08. | |
display. They were feared and hated flying | :19:08. | :19:25. | |
bombs which came from nowhere and felony where. —— fell anywhere. This | :19:25. | :19:43. | |
would have been still more deadly, a piloted V1, deadly for its victims, | :19:43. | :19:51. | |
deadly, presumably, to its crew. The idea was that they could hit a | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
pinpoint target as opposed to being random, as with a normal V1. The | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
pilot could aim them at a target and bail out. You have a sideways | :20:01. | :20:08. | |
opening canopy. If you opened that at 450mph, the first thing you hit | :20:08. | :20:18. | |
is the jet pipe. Operation Crossbow drama advertised tests of the weapon | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
flown by the German test pilot. Today, there are six left in the | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
world. This one was saved from the scrap heap. They only realised what | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
they had after taking the rusty remains apart. That is where the | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
explosives? Two fuses.What are these? That is used as a sight. It | :20:37. | :20:44. | |
folds down. This is the shackle, which is attached to the under | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
underside. This bomb was launched from underneath an aeroplane. That | :20:49. | :20:56. | |
is all that held it on? Yes.This War Museum has had the bomb | :20:57. | :20:58. | |
restored. They say You're hurting me. What is this? A | :20:59. | :24:26. | |
ring. I can see it's a ring. Dora Bryan herself knew hard times. She | :24:26. | :24:36. | |
turned this hotel into flats and it cost her and her husband a fortune. | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
Dora suffered her own fair share, it has to be said. What is incredible, | :24:40. | :24:48. | |
despite all the setbacks she was able to rise above everything. What | :24:48. | :24:54. | |
will it mean to your mother? A lot. Some of the photographs she won't | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
have seen for ages. She will be over the moon. Dora Bryan is used to | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
going down memory lane. Tonight, Dora Bryan, this is your life. | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
Tonight, perhaps, more than 50 years later, something similar. | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
She is fabulous. Happy birthday, Dora. Love that pink outfit as well, | :25:13. | :25:22. | |
those feathers. Now, the weather: How is it looking, wet? The weather | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
is less exciting. Lots of rain over the weekend. There will be dry | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
weather around particularly for Saturday afternoon. As we go into | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
Sunday the winds will pick up. We have a wet afternoon particularly. | :25:35. | :25:39. | |

will be a wet picture as we head over into Saturday. Temperatures | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
widely dropping to around 10 or 11 degrees. As you start the day on | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
Saturday it will be overcast and wet. It is an improving story. The | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
rain will be clearing its way eastwards. By the afternoon it will | :26:25. | :26:32. | |
feel chilly. Top temperatures of 14—15 degrees. There may be breaks | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
in the cloud cover. We might see a little bit of sunshine. There will | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
be cloud around and a chance of one or two lighter showers. The winds | :26:41. | :26:53. | |

tricky rush—hour. Tuesday, cool with outbreaks of rain. Over the weekend | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
itself the best chance of brighter weather will be Saturday afternoon. | :27:29. | :27:34. |
