missing. That's all from the BBC News at Six - so it's goodbye from | :00:00. | :00:18. | |
doors for the last time. Once you have worked here, you do | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
not want to work anywhere else. It has been a dramatic day, with an | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
emergency landing, and of bid and many people hoping that somehow it | :00:29. | :00:43. | |
can be saved. Also, the biopic of Turner, set in | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
Margate, filmed in Chatham, making waves in France, we speak to the | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
star. If you are the only person that ever | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
unstuck the dishwasher... Having a moan in Tunbridge Wells, | :00:59. | :00:59. | |
the grumpy old women are on tour. Good evening, it is now shot, at | :01:00. | :01:19. | |
5pm, these doors opened for the last time to allow staff to come out, to | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
an extraordinary greeting among 150 people, who came to this airport on | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
the east coast of Kent to say goodbye to a place that has had a | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
strong impact on the area for the last century. Purchased by Ann Gloag | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
last year for ?1, it has struggled to make ends meet. It was announced | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
a few weeks ago that a consultation into the closure had been started, | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
today that process came to a close, as people were asked to clear their | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
desks and leave. It has been an extraordinary situation, there are | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
rumours flying around as to what is going on. What cannot be denied, the | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
airport is shot. Dash`mac closed. The end of the airport was a hugely | :02:04. | :02:18. | |
emotional moment, the staff left the terminal building, together for the | :02:19. | :02:26. | |
last time. It is really emotional, the support is incredible. You do | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
not want to work anywhere else. Once you have worked here, you do not | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
want to work anywhere else. It is so sad, it does not need to happen. | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
They go on about airport expansion, you have got a perfectly good | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
airfield, it is crazy. There had been time for one last emergency | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
landing. This pilot had to divert here with engine trouble, the | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
passenger a former Easterners actor. We have just had an emergency | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
landing, I do not know where we are. Where are we? Apparently, it is | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
closing. We would have ended up in the drink. Thank you for being | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
open. For those who do not know, the Civil Aviation Authority licence was | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
handed back today. Munster will not be able to handle emergency landings | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
animal. Until the last minute, the unions had wanted that licence | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
extended. We believe that there are firm bidders in the wings. One | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
company has but two in, there is another potential bidder there, but | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
they do not want to do anything if they believe the licence will be | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
switched off and there will be no further work here. It does not | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
closing their operation, if the closing their operation, if the | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
airfield is licensed for operation, the gauche nations continue for | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
bidders. As staff face an uncertain future, many are angry at the way | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
that they have another job. Less that they have another job. Less | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
than 15% of staff have got a job to go to. Only 3% would not want to | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
come back if they had the chance. The only commercial planes left | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
flying here are ones at 30,000 feet. Its future as a commercial airport | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
apparently over. Everybody else has already | :04:24. | :04:38. | |
disappeared off, because it has been such an emotional day. Absolutely. | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
We have got a family of staff that have lost their jobs, some of them | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
might be saying goodbye to each other for the foreseeable future. | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
Highly emotional. What happens now with the airport? It is shot, you | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
are campaigning to keep it open, but the door is not open. We are going | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
to keep on fighting, as long as we think there is a chance to get it | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
back open. The Americans have put another bid in, we need to find out | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
why Ann Gloag has rejected it. Why is she rejecting it? What is her | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
motive? Can Munster make a profit? Absolutely. I would bet my mortgage | :05:23. | :05:32. | |
on it, 100%. I can prove it. As he was saying, this has been a day of | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
high emotion, but a lot of people who have been associated with the | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
airport for decades have had an emotional impact. | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
It is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I cannot believe | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
somebody would be so heartless as to close us down. Those words sum up | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
the feelings of everyone who lost their job today. Her husband set up | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
the flying club for nothing. It is devastating. I cannot describe how I | :06:05. | :06:15. | |
feel. I cannot eat or sleep. Without a licensed runway, the company had | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
to move their planes before 5pm today. We have got 50 years left on | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
our lease, but we cannot use the runway. It is over. Also over for | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
the staff at the airport, some had spent their whole careers here. I am | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
going through chemotherapy, I am not going to get another job at the | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
moment. That gets me through it, going to work. I do not know. It is | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
watering hole of Battle of Britain watering hole of Battle of Britain | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
pilots, staff will come here to mark the end of an historic link with | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
aviation. It has hit home, the jobs are going to be lost, the people we | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
have had in today, lots of people from the airport having food, it is | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
devastating for the area. Today, people tried to put on a brave | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
face, but the tears told the real story. | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
We have repeatedly asked if we could speak to Ann Gloag, the owner, or to | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
representatives of the airport. They have consistently said they would | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
not make any comment on this issue. If you would look at more reaction | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
and analysis, you can go to the website. There will be more reaction | :07:42. | :07:50. | |
on BBC Radio Kent tomorrow morning. I will be back later in the | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
programme to take more of a look at the history of what this place | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
means. A teenage robber who viciously | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
attacked pensioners in their own homes in a string of attacks across | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
Kent has been jailed for ten and a half years. The attacked three | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
elderly victims, including an 89`year`old. She has been speaking | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
to our reporter, you may find some to our reporter, you may find some | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
of the images in the report disturbing. | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
All I remember is lying on my back, unconscious, and my neighbour tells | :08:24. | :08:33. | |
me I was without teeth and glasses, there was blood coming from | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
everywhere. She was left with a fractured nose and eye socket and | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
injuries consistent with being repeatedly kicked after the violent | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
beating on her and her husband in their own home. The 18`year`old who | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
attacked him, taking ?60, as well as assaulting another pensioner, is now | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
facing over ten years behind bars. He has gone into these addresses, he | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
has finally attacked all three victims, they have all had | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
life`threatening injuries, and he has left them for dead. I am | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
frightened to open the front door. She says the attack has worsened her | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
husband's failing health map and affected her deeply. | :09:14. | :09:21. | |
Two men from Kent have pleaded guilty to stealing hundreds of | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
thousands of pounds worth of rare artefacts from wrecks of the Dover | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
illegally kept bronze cannons from illegally kept bronze cannons from | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
the wreck of a 19th`century British the wreck of a 19th`century British | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
merchant ship. It is the first time the Maritime Coastguard Agency has | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
brought a positive vision like this. | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
Raiders of the lost wrecks, the men pleaded guilty to 19 offences of | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
taking historic artefacts from sunken ships. This was one man | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
posing with one of his trophies, a 200`year`old can and he found off | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
Dover. In all, six cannons were taken from a ship heading to India | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
in 1809. The pair also bought up crockery, dozens of pristine bottles | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
more than a quarter of ?1 million. more than a quarter of ?1 million. | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
This is above and beyond your average diver, this is a Coast of | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
systematic and long`term recovery of large scale material, using | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
underwater cutting equipment and explosives. The men left court | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
claiming the law will smack smack the law was unclear. Should have | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
been done two years ago? The waters off the coast are littered with | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
wrecks, but anything taken must be declared to the authorities within | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
28 days, something the men in this case failed to do. They will be | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
sentenced in July. This case a warning to any diver that Britain's | :10:56. | :11:04. | |
laws extend to the sea floor. It is exactly a week until polls | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
open for the European elections, across the Southeast political | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
Today, we hear from the Independence Today, we hear from the Independence | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
from Europe party about why they think they deserve your support. | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
Instead of creating peace, there is turmoil, we have recession, and | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
bureaucracy. The EU imposes rules and regulations on the British | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
people that compromise 28 nations, so it is clear, one size fits none. | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
But for us, we are at the top of your ballot paper. | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
There is in`depth coverage of the European elections and information | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
about the other parties on the website. | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
The health watchdog nice has called for an end to the postcode lottery | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
of fertility treatment. It follows the case of a woman who was refused | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
funding for her eggs to be frozen before she undergoes chemotherapy | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
that could leave her infertile. NHS bosses refused to pay, even though | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
people in other parts of the country get funding. She says she now hopes | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
that others will not be put through the same ordeal that she has faced. | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
Suffering from the bowel condition Crohn's disease come next week | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
Lizzie will become one of the first in the country to be treated for it | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
with a bone marrow transplant and chemotherapy. Health bosses in | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
Thanet refused the ?4000 to freeze Thanet refused the ?4000 to freeze | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
her eggs. Now, the health watchdog says the postcode lottery must end. | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
I am pleased they have issued this statement saying that people should | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
be offered this treatment. It is really stressful to take the NHS to | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
court, it is the last thing you want to do when you are sick. I hope that | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
women will not have to go through this. She did this month get her | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
eggs frozen, but only after a private clinic did it for free. We | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
are lagging behind the rest of Europe in what is funded by | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
government, it has been a long time coming, and I hope this is the final | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
step towards getting it implemented. Thanet commissioning group's new | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
policy of continuing to refuse funding was declared unlawful by the | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
High Court last month. It is still considering the implications. NICE | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
is determined that the treatment is available for those who need it. | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
One of our most high`profile landowners is calling on the | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
government to do more to help manage the spread of the disease dashed my | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
back. He says must `` more money must be put into replanting existing | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
woodlands. The disease first emerged in 2012, research found that Kent if | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
the worst hit county in the UK, with East Sussex second. The latest | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
statistics revealed three quarters of all ashtrays in the south`east | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
could be affected in the next four years. The forestry commission has | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
issued guidance on how to deal with the problem. | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
Managing our woodland in the wake of ash dieback, the disease has arrived | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
this year here, and a new approach must be taken to preserve the other | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
tree species and what lies beneath them. We are on a side that was | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
coppice to 15 months ago, a mixed plantation, and we can see the | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
effects of the disease on this stock. The machine is removing not | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
the diseased trees, they will remain for monitoring purposes, but | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
Sycamore, an invasive species are not originally from Britain. It | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
casts a dense shade, it is a heavily seeding species, so what we are | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
worried about is it is shading out ancient woodland flora. The advice | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
is to replant areas with native species, but estate owner says | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
government funding to do this has been cut. Without that, we are going | :15:12. | :15:21. | |
to see perhaps in ten years the woodland will virtually be devoid of | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
light, and without light, there is no biodiversity. The government says | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
it is working to protect our woodlands, it is funding trials to | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
test for disease resistance. These trees were planted just over a year | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
ago, very lush, the infection is half a mile to our left, it is a | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
matter of time before the spores get blown here. Ultimately, the aim is | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
to find a tree that can survive the disease. | :15:53. | :16:01. | |
This is the top story. A last`ditch offer to buy Manston | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
Airport has been rejected as the airport closed its doors for good | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
this evening. There were tears as workers expressed their dismay. 144 | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
staff finished for the last time today. | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
Also, Mr Turner, the biopic of the painter who loved Kent, debuts, we | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
will stick to the director and the star. | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
After another sunny day, will it stay this way for the weekend? | :16:31. | :16:40. | |
The closure of Manston Airport marks the end of almost a century of | :16:41. | :16:49. | |
aviation there. In 1916, it opened as a Royal Navy station, with early | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
by planes flying from the airstrip. During World War II, played a key | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
role in the defence of Britain, with Spitfires and Hurricanes based | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
there. It closed as an RAF base and opened as a civil aviation airport. | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
We can go back, this really is the end of an era? It would appear to be | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
so. When you joined me earlier, I was outside the terminal building, | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
which was opened 20 years ago, behind us here, part of the | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
airfield's history, they got from the Second World War. How | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
significant in British aviation history is this place? You have got | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
100 years of aviation history swept away. It was a Royal Navy will air | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
Station in the great War, and when the Royal flying Corps and the Royal | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
Navy joined together, and became an RAF base. Between the wars, it was | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
expanded, and it played a great part during the Battle of Britain, as did | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
the other Kent airport. And in the Cold War, as well close to the | :18:02. | :18:09. | |
potential theatre? Yes, that was during the jet even, but its main | :18:10. | :18:17. | |
purpose was to defend England. It is a sad day for you. Absolutely. Our | :18:18. | :18:25. | |
business correspondent, you have been following this all the way | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
through, all of the twists and turns, can we say why this deal | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
cannot go through, why Ann Gloag will not accept a bid? I have heard | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
this question so often, it is annoying and frustrating for the | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
protesters, they wanted to put Ann Gloag and Riveroak in a room. If | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
they could have done that, they might have got a deal. She was not | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
willing to negotiate, so we do not have a deal. It is fair to say that | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
this is not the end of the story, although today the airport has | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
closed, I have a feeling we will be back for more. | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
As the artist who described Thanet is having the loveliest skies in all | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
of Europe, the coastline inspired many of Turner's works and cemented | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
him as one of our greatest artists. A new film about him is premiering | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
in France this evening, and we have the report. | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
Sir John Sergeant! Turner! It is Mike Leigh's most expensive and | :19:32. | :19:41. | |
visually stunning film to date, we would expect no less for this, the | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
bio pic of Turner. It focuses on the last 25 years of his life, his time | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
in Margate and the relationship with his landlady. He is obviously a | :19:52. | :20:00. | |
great artist, you can research for a million years, but it does not make | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
him happen in front of the camera, you still have to create a | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
characterisation. You have to breathe flesh and blood into web. | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
More than 100 of his works were inspired by the East Kent coast. His | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
legacy lives on at the gallery in Margate. He said, the light above | :20:20. | :20:30. | |
Barnett, where market is, is amongst the most beautiful in Europe. He had | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
never been to the rest of the world, so he meant the world. There is | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
quite a buzz about the film here, it is the fifth time in competition for | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
Mike Leigh, he previously won in 1996. A win for Turner would be | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
another reason to celebrate Margate, and one of its cultural great. With | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
Mr Turner, Mike Leigh has every chance of repeating the success he | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
had with `` in 1996. People came here for the painters, for the | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
light, they put the festival here for that, and Margate is as ready | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
and in its light is here, so it is not that far. Good morning. Good | :21:17. | :21:26. | |
morning. We placed it in the anteroom. The film has been | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
described as a passion project for Mike Leigh, it seems appropriate | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
that our most submitted artist should be brought to life by one of | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
the greatest storytellers of our generation. | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
Those tough critics giving it the thumbs up. Yes, they are difficult | :21:44. | :21:52. | |
critics. You look at the opening film, Grace of Monaco, it was panned | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
by the critics, but this one has got the thumbs up. We could not be more | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
proud. If Turner was here today, this view is not quite Margate, but | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
it might inspire one of his paintings. | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
They have been moaning for nearly ten years, now the EU are back on a | :22:13. | :22:22. | |
new tour. Jenny eclair is back in the line`up, she will talk about | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
greying hair and sagging rias. They are on tonight in Tunbridge Wells. | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
What can we expect from the show? It is all about the unspoken joy of big | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
pants and things like that, a lack of good manners, and Olympic | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
masterclass in whingeing about the set of the world, and it began ten | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
years ago, it started off as a Christmas TV special, but it was so | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
popular, they turned it into a series, then it became a live show. | :22:53. | :23:00. | |
If you are the only person in your house that ever on stacks the | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
dishwasher... You are a grumpy old woman! The Perrier award winner, | :23:07. | :23:16. | |
jenny eclair! I feel like the first blonde in space! You may also like | :23:17. | :23:24. | |
to know that Patricia Mills is a hopeless alcoholic with a string of | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
Ripley relationships. How do you clean dead flies off your flapper? | :23:32. | :23:40. | |
What? I would try bleach, I would debate in bleach. I must the off! | :23:41. | :23:50. | |
You are one of the writers of the show, what makes you a grumpy old | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
woman? I was quite young, it started ten years ago, I got asked to do the | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
TV version, and I thought, how grumpy and my? This is a natural fit | :24:02. | :24:05. | |

third tour. Susie is a veteran, I have done all of the tours. Ahmed | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
Wellcome? Very welcome, we love men in the audience. They start off with | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
their arms folded and they end up rocking in the aisles. What is the | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
joy of great big pants? You have to come and see the show, because they | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
are demonstrated, and all three of us can fit into them, and we still | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
look sexy, so that is a triumph. We have to be careful about what we say | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
on live TV, because people are eating their tea. There is a reason | :24:49. | :24:58. | |
why big pants can save your life. Putting the picture of what we say | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
to people's minds is not what they want to hear! The show starts at | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
8pm. Allegedly, we are heading for a | :25:09. | :25:10. | |
heatwave! We have some fair weather cloud | :25:11. | :25:18. | |
earlier, but it has been staying dry, and bright. For tomorrow, the | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
temperatures will be climbing. Earlier, some fair weather cloud, | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
but for the most part, it was dry and bright. A fairly light breeze, | :25:29. | :25:36. | |
so it felt quite warm for the time of year. Tonight, any cloud will be | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
melting away but stopped with clearer skies and lighter winds, we | :25:43. | :25:50. | |
will see some mist and fog forming. A call start, and any mist and fog | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
will burn back quickly. For tomorrow, more of the same, clear | :25:55. | :26:01. | |
blue skies, and by the afternoon, the temperatures might tip over into | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
20 or 21. As we head towards the weekend, it will stay settled. | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
Through tomorrow night, more of the same. For Saturday and Sunday, | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
temperatures of 20 or 21, lots of sunshine. | :26:17. | :26:20. | |

on May the 22nd. even though that would wreck | :26:55. | :27:02. | |
the recovery and destroy jobs. The Conservatives | :27:03. | :27:10. | |
are now openly flirting with exit. | :27:11. | :27:14. |
