Welcome to South East Today, I'm Rob Smith.

:00:00.:00:07.

A lorry driver's footage of Calais migrants trying to jump onto

:00:08.:00:15.

vehicles crossing the channdl ` hauliers call for better protection.

:00:16.:00:17.

We're live in Dover with the details.

:00:18.:00:20.

A Kent woman claims her war veteran father died in agony becausd an NHS

:00:21.:00:24.

I would have killed my own father before he went into hospital if I

:00:25.:00:37.

had known what he would go through. Her nine`year`old son died

:00:38.:00:39.

from a previously undiagnosdd nut allergy ` now Emma Wileman's

work up for auction And on the eve of the commonwealth games, we take a

:00:49.:00:53.

look at our strongest medal hopes. New footage of migrants' shocking

:00:54.:01:09.

attempts to break into moving vehicles approaching the

:01:10.:01:14.

port of Calais has been reldased, as lorry drivers crossing the Channel

:01:15.:01:17.

launch a campaign demanding better One the approach to the port of

:01:18.:01:39.

Calais as the lorries slowdown, the migrants moved in. It is not long

:01:40.:01:42.

before they have got the door open. To managed to get in, the others,

:01:43.:01:48.

working as a team, help thel up and then ensure the doors get shot. The

:01:49.:01:52.

driver who took this Vidic says it is escalating.

:01:53.:01:58.

It is horrific, just the amount of people wandering about, swarming

:01:59.:02:01.

over the lorries. If you were on your own in a vehicle, and xou have

:02:02.:02:05.

not seen anything like that before, you would find a terrifying.

:02:06.:02:09.

Our investigation in March showed how some immigrants were prdpared to

:02:10.:02:14.

climb onto axles in attempts to try to get into Britain. The recent

:02:15.:02:20.

closure of the makeshift calps in Calais has made things worsd,

:02:21.:02:23.

according to drivers. They have started a petition calling on the

:02:24.:02:27.

Home Office to get the French to sort out security. Industry

:02:28.:02:31.

representatives say there is room for improvement.

:02:32.:02:35.

We would like more understanding between the French government and UK

:02:36.:02:37.

government. We would like more resources going into the border

force. At one point in the footage, some of

:02:43.:02:46.

the migrants are almost hit. We showed it to the Dover MP.

:02:47.:02:53.

It is a real concern. You w`nt to see free movement of traffic through

:02:54.:02:57.

the European Union. It is clear that the free movement of goods hs being

:02:58.:03:02.

inhibited by these people. But some say the migrants are not

:03:03.:03:06.

doing this likely. We are seeing people who ard

:03:07.:03:10.

desperate, who often don't see food from day`to`day and don't h`ve

:03:11.:03:14.

shelter, and feel they have nothing to lose are resorting to thdse

:03:15.:03:19.

desperate measures. Drivers say the daily battld will go

:03:20.:03:21.

on. Simon what response has there

:03:22.:03:24.

been from the Home Office? The petition from lorry drivers

:03:25.:03:36.

demanding the Home Office does something has now reached more than

:03:37.:03:41.

2000 signatures. Lorry drivdrs say they want potential fines rdduced if

:03:42.:03:46.

still ways are found in the lorries as they say the situation is simply

:03:47.:03:51.

out of control. The Home Office say they have bolstered securitx and

:03:52.:03:58.

they insist lorry drivers do have an important role to play themselves.

:03:59.:04:03.

In the past few months I have been to Calais several times mysdlf to

:04:04.:04:07.

see the situation, and desphte an apparent crackdown by the French

:04:08.:04:10.

authorities, it seems the shtuation shows little sign of improvhng.

:04:11.:04:15.

A Kent woman claims NHS staff failed to manage her dying father's pain,

:04:16.:04:19.

and when she complained, a nurse threatened to get sdcurity

:04:20.:04:21.

Joanne Fowler says her 93`ydar`old father was left screaming

:04:22.:04:25.

in agony and she considered killing him herself to end his suffdring.

:04:26.:04:32.

War veteran Frank Foster was admitted to the Tunbridge Wdlls

:04:33.:04:34.

The Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust has commissioned `n

:04:35.:04:39.

independent review to deterline if there were any failures in his care.

:04:40.:04:44.

Joanne Fowler recorded the sound of her father's pain, and her requests

:04:45.:04:58.

to nurses to get him more medication. Frank Foster, a World

:04:59.:05:12.

War II veteran, was deaf and blind. As his daughter's pleas to the

:05:13.:05:15.

nurses to help them became lore desperate and angry, one of them is

:05:16.:05:32.

hired to ask her to leave the war. I was angry, because my father was

:05:33.:05:36.

in pain, and there was something that could be done. In hosphtal

:05:37.:05:40.

today, no man, woman or child should have to be screaming in pain.

:05:41.:06:03.

In a statement, the trust s`id: Helen Mickey is medical dirdctor at

:06:04.:06:09.

a hospice that carers for the terminally ill. She would not

dictates that they should bd a quick reassessment we're existing pain

:06:18.:06:19.

medication ceases to give stfficient relief.

:06:20.:06:25.

The nurses or health care professionals should report back to

the medical staff very quickly that you do what they were using was not

:06:45.:06:47.

relief, but his daughter dods not think it was enough. He was

:06:48.:06:50.

eventually sedated but died less than a week later. Mrs Fowldr says

:06:51.:06:56.

the whole family was, ties by the experience and would have done

:06:57.:06:58.

anything to end his apparent suffering.

:06:59.:07:03.

My son came in and said, " Lum, can't we do something?" That is how

:07:04.:07:12.

bad his pain was, the nurses saw that. I promise you, I would have

:07:13.:07:16.

killed my own father before he ever went in hospital if I had known what

:07:17.:07:22.

he was going to go through. My dad should not have suffered like this.

:07:23.:07:24.

That was Joanne Fowler, from Tunbridge Wells,

:07:25.:07:26.

Jon, Mrs Fowler has now made a formal

:07:27.:07:31.

She has. The Trust has been in touch with her and they do plan to meet.

:07:32.:07:45.

The hospital's chief nurse has told us that they are very, very sorry

:07:46.:07:50.

that Mrs Fowler's experiencd of her late father's here did not leet the

:07:51.:07:54.

high standards that they ard committed to. They say that the

:07:55.:07:58.

independent review will aim to see the facts, and they claim they will

:07:59.:08:01.

not hesitate to take action should that prove necessary. We know that

:08:02.:08:05.

Mr Foster was receiving pain medication. No doubt the qudstion

:08:06.:08:09.

for this review will be whether that was at all times appropriatd given

his rapidly changing condithons Coming up, and you campaign to

:08:42.:09:06.

Wileman had no idea what wotld happen next.

:09:07.:09:12.

He went to the back door so that he could breathe better. I went up

:09:13.:09:19.

behind him to help them with his asthma pump, and he fell back into

my arms, blue. And he was gone. You never regained consciousness after

that. That is how quick it hs. Why might have suffered an `llergic

:09:31.:09:34.

reaction to nuts after eating a bowl of cereal.

:09:35.:09:38.

Why hadn't I known this before? I knew all about his asthma and how to

:09:39.:09:43.

treat it, but why did not about this as well?

:09:44.:09:52.

After setting up at charity, she is now visiting schools across the

country celebrity Doctor Hilary Jones.

:09:56.:10:00.

The campaign is about testing people who have asthma and whose sxmptoms

:10:01.:10:04.

are deteriorating and becomhng more severe, or people who have had

:10:05.:10:08.

severe allergic reactions in the past.

:10:09.:10:12.

Expense in Brighton and elsdwhere are looking at other methods such as

:10:13.:10:17.

certain genetic tests, to try to identify children before thdy have

:10:18.:10:21.

problems. It can be quite difficult to pick up

:10:22.:10:25.

children who have got severd underlying allergies, it can be

:10:26.:10:28.

very, very difficult to pick that up, particularly when the child has

:10:29.:10:33.

not had a severe reaction bdfore. The question really is, is there a

:10:34.:10:38.

way of picking these things up beyond just taking the history?

:10:39.:10:44.

A life cut short, but lasting legacy of saving many others.

:10:45.:10:50.

Budget cuts of up to ?90 million are likely to

:10:51.:10:53.

be necessary to balance the books at East Sussex County Counchl

:10:54.:10:55.

The authority's already redtced spending by ?89 million over

:10:56.:10:59.

But a new report considered by councillors today says ftrther

:11:00.:11:06.

cuts are likely, if the Govdrnment continues to reduce its funding

:11:07.:11:09.

UKIP is the most popular party among voters in Thanet South,

:11:10.:11:13.

according to a new poll, with many pundits predicting that

:11:14.:11:15.

the party's leader Nigel Farage will choose to stand there

:11:16.:11:18.

The poll, by the Conservative Party donor

:11:19.:11:23.

Lord Ashcroft, suggests that UKIP support has risen by five pdrcentage

An area twice the size of a new Thames Estuary airport

:11:26.:11:31.

would be needed to replace habitats affected by its construction,

:11:32.:11:35.

according to a new report from the British Trust for Ornithology.

:11:36.:11:38.

It also claims finding a suhtable area would be challenging,

:11:39.:11:41.

Earlier this month the Government's airport commission said

:11:42.:11:46.

a hub airport off the North Kent coast would pose a "considerable

New research shows Thanet lost more tourism jobs than almost anxwhere

else in the country in recent years, a major new campaign to attract

:11:58.:12:04.

Londoners down to the coast has been launched this week.

:12:05.:12:07.

With the opening of the Turner Contemporary Gallery a couple

:12:08.:12:10.

of years ago, a rash of restaurants and boutique hotels have opdned up

:12:11.:12:14.

in Margate ` but will they be enough to reverse decades of decline?

:12:15.:12:17.

Paddy O'Connell joins us live from Minnis Bay, near Margate.

:12:18.:12:25.

The idea was if you want thd world to come to Thanet, take Thanet to

:12:26.:12:34.

the world. Retook a beach htt and put it in one of the world's busiest

:12:35.:12:39.

railway stations. When you `re in your hot studio looking herd, the

:12:40.:12:45.

case makes itself. But I fotnd out directly at St Pancras this morning,

:12:46.:12:50.

there are people on this pl`net who have never heard of Kent. How about

:12:51.:12:55.

Thanet? I haven't heard of that.

:12:56.:12:59.

Margate? I haven't heard of that.

:13:00.:13:05.

This lady, who is wearing a very French top, she might actually be

:13:06.:13:08.

French, and they are asking for information about Kent. When you

:13:09.:13:12.

look here, it is not very surprising.

:13:13.:13:17.

We only started yesterday and had a great response from the public. They

:13:18.:13:22.

were all coming up very intdrested. As you can see, the beach htts are

:13:23.:13:25.

beautiful. Will this bring people to Kdnt?

:13:26.:13:30.

I think people don't realisd Kent has so much going on. We have

:13:31.:13:34.

fantastic ages. People flocked here from all over

:13:35.:13:38.

the world, but how to make them go to Kent? May be this fact c`n pull

:13:39.:13:44.

them in. Tourists helped buhld the Kent coast, but how do you lake them

:13:45.:13:53.

help everybody? Tourists don't just see the golden sands, the CV dark

:13:54.:13:56.

alleyways, and all the benefits don't necessarily flow to local

:13:57.:14:01.

people. When he grows up, whth his future be better if there are more

:14:02.:14:04.

tourists coming here? I don't know. But at the molent I

:14:05.:14:09.

think the future will be very bleak around here because there w`s

:14:10.:14:12.

nothing for them to do. If you were a tourist, would you

:14:13.:14:15.

come to Margate? Not know. Never.

:14:16.:14:22.

It got a lovely beach down there, they could make it look likd

:14:23.:14:26.

Blackpool. This hotel is open all year, fully

:14:27.:14:34.

booked, employing 36 people. The story of despair is changing,

:14:35.:14:37.

every week there is something new in the papers about what is happening

:14:38.:14:40.

here, and it is an exciting place to be.

:14:41.:14:46.

Some say just a posh hotel `nd a new art gallery does not mean bdnefits

:14:47.:14:50.

for everyone. This is an argument they have heard in murky fotr

:14:51.:14:54.

years. Put all the rhetoric aside, when you are faced with a bdautiful

:14:55.:15:00.

evening like this, you could talk for hours or you could just enjoy

:15:01.:15:07.

it. It is coming up to 6:45pm.

:15:08.:15:19.

Shocking footage has been rdleased showing migrants breaking into

:15:20.:15:27.

lorries to try to make it to Dover. Inspiring generations of yotngsters

:15:28.:15:31.

to get covered in blue, the effects artist who is auctioning his life's

:15:32.:15:35.

work. And other glorious sulmers day, and it will be more of the same

:15:36.:15:40.

tomorrow I might join me later for the forecast.

:15:41.:15:43.

A patch the size of a sticking`plaster is about to be

:15:44.:15:46.

tested by the NHS, as a new way of monitoring a patient's heart`rate,

:15:47.:15:49.

It follows successful trials at a private hospital in Brhghton.

:15:50.:15:55.

Independent experts say the system could free nurses up

:15:56.:15:58.

from their routine checks, allowing them to spend more quality

:15:59.:16:00.

Adam Brimelow has tonight's special report.

:16:01.:16:05.

A routine check for vital shgns like temperature and heart rate

:16:06.:16:09.

Regular updates, often everx four hours, are a key part of care

:16:10.:16:12.

and safety in hospitals, but patients can deteriorate between

:16:13.:16:15.

This private hospital in Brhghton has been trialling a batterx`powered

:16:16.:16:25.

patch that updates informathon on some of the vital signs dvery

:16:26.:16:29.

couple of minutes, issuing an alert if there is a problem.

:16:30.:16:33.

It doesn't replace routine checks, but it does ease some

:16:34.:16:36.

It gives us a bit more time with patients when we know that some

:16:37.:16:43.

Without this monitor, you are constantly thinking,

:16:44.:16:47.

"what is happening in the ndxt room? I should go and check them".

:16:48.:16:51.

But knowing that this is on and works well, you are abld to

:16:52.:16:54.

It is just a bit more relaxhng on the nursing side knowing that

:16:55.:17:00.

It gives me reassurance that there is some equipment looking

:17:01.:17:07.

I think when the nurse is whth you, her mind is perhaps a bit more with

:17:08.:17:15.

you, rather than thinking about what is going on in the other rooms.

:17:16.:17:18.

This is what continuous monhtoring looks like in the NHS at thd moment.

:17:19.:17:21.

It is extremely expensive, very restrictive for patients,

:17:22.:17:23.

and there needs to be a nurse here all the time to keep

:17:24.:17:27.

With this patch, it is so small and light patients

:17:28.:17:32.

They are less likely to devdlop complications, and that means they

:17:33.:17:38.

are likely to recover more puickly and go home sooner,

:17:39.:17:41.

This British`designed patch lasts five days, long enough

:17:42.:17:52.

It is being developed to provide more information on blood pressure

:17:53.:18:03.

and oxygen levels, and experts say it has great potential for ` lot

:18:04.:18:07.

This could have a use in the emergency department and

:18:08.:18:14.

from the emergency care phase right through the first couple of days

:18:15.:18:17.

in hospital when the patient is more liable to deteriorate.

:18:18.:18:20.

It also has potentially an application for looking `fter

:18:21.:18:22.

patients in their own home because we can observe them remotelx rather

:18:23.:18:25.

The patches are about to be tried out in thd NHS,

:18:26.:18:32.

Trusts. The Royal College of nursing says that anything that helps pick

:18:33.:18:38.

up deterioration has to be ` good thing, and says it is still vital to

:18:39.:18:41.

ensure there are enough staff with the right skills in every w`rd.

:18:42.:18:44.

That was Adam Brimelow, reporting from Brighton.

:18:45.:18:46.

And there's further reaction to the pros and cons

:18:47.:18:48.

of the new patches from medhcal professionals on our websitd:

:18:49.:19:07.

In more ways than one he was the model artist. He designed m`ny of

:19:08.:19:20.

the illustrations on the boxes of air strikes models.

:19:21.:19:24.

Now he is putting some of hhs original paintings and drawhngs for

:19:25.:19:30.

auction. Our reporter has bden to look at his top`flight colldction.

:19:31.:19:47.

Airfix planes have topped m`ny children's wish lists, and the

:19:48.:19:51.

artist on the packaging was just as desirable, much of it paintdd by Roy

:19:52.:19:57.

Cross. Some of it had rather crude artwork

:19:58.:20:01.

on the top, and I thought I could do better than that. I wrote to the

:20:02.:20:05.

firm looking for new work and told them I thought I could do bdtter.

:20:06.:20:09.

They hired him immediately. Roy went on to do all the artwork on the

:20:10.:20:15.

boxes in Airfix's prime, thd 19 0s and nineteen seventies.

:20:16.:20:19.

I must have done several hundred pieces of artwork.

:20:20.:20:25.

His love of planes started when he was young.

:20:26.:20:30.

As a boy, my mother take me to the Hendon airshows. We saw these

:20:31.:20:36.

beautiful biplanes zipping `round and older pilots in posh whhte

:20:37.:20:40.

suits. Roy has decided to auction off

:20:41.:20:44.

nearly all his Airfix work. He has a famous fan who he hopes maybe it.

:20:45.:20:52.

I would save up for ages to buy one small model, and I would be sad when

:20:53.:20:55.

I finished it because I would have to save up to buy another.

:20:56.:21:01.

Roy has finally decided to tidy away his paintbrushes.

:21:02.:21:06.

I have done 70 years of artwork so I think that is enough.

:21:07.:21:11.

His collection is expected to fetch ?20,000 at auction in Countx Durham

:21:12.:21:18.

on Thursday. What a lot of memories!

:21:19.:21:21.

You have become all nostalghc! Onto football, and Brighton and Hove

:21:22.:21:25.

Albion's star striker Leonardo Ulloa has joined Premier League ndwcomers

:21:29.:21:30.

appearances for the Seagulls, has signed a four`year deal even though

:21:31.:21:33.

Brighton had said they were The Commonwealth Games get tnderway

place in Glasgow, and almost 30 competitors from here in thd

South East will be taking p`rt. Last night we featured one

:21:46.:21:49.

of our strongest medal hopefuls ` the Sussex middle`distance runner

Charlie Grice. But, as Neil Bell reports,

:21:53.:21:54.

he's not the only South East athlete Over the next 11 days, thousands of

athletes from 71 countries will compete in 17 sport at more than a

London Olympics and once ag`in face some of the sport's biggest names,

:22:31.:22:32.

It is interesting competing for England rather than GB, so ht will

be nice to compete against Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, that

:22:38.:22:42.

would be fun. Among the other medal hopeftls will

:22:43.:22:48.

be the shooters Charlotte Kdnwood and Steve Scott. Charlotte was just

:22:49.:22:51.

15 when she won her first Commonwealth Games gold, and then

:22:52.:22:58.

defended it in 2006. Steve picked up in the ` gold in Delhi.

:22:59.:23:03.

Obviously coming away with the gold medal meant a lot. Along with my

:23:04.:23:12.

team`mate. In terms of reprdsenting the country it is amazing.

:23:13.:23:16.

The Commonwealth was the first big event I went to, so it is vdry

:23:17.:23:20.

special. I love going to thd Commonwealth Games. It is stch a

:23:21.:23:25.

great atmosphere, and so frhendly. I always have a great time up there,

:23:26.:23:30.

and so far I have always done quite well so I am hoping that continues.

:23:31.:23:35.

In total, 14 hockey players from the south`east will be hoping to build

:23:36.:23:39.

on recent international success and are looking forward to the ledia

:23:40.:23:43.

attention. This is something I have always

:23:44.:23:46.

aspired to playing, and it hs so good is to feel part of a whder

:23:47.:23:50.

team, all here to try to do our best.

:23:51.:23:56.

You can get behind everyone competing at all sports in the

:23:57.:23:59.

Commonwealth, and it does h`ve that Olympic feel to it. Obviously it is

:24:00.:24:03.

very important for us to do well in every tournament, but this one

:24:04.:24:07.

especially civil. These are the friendly games, and

:24:08.:24:10.

for many of the south`east's competitors, they could be

:24:11.:24:11.

memorable, to. Our reporter Hamish Marshall is live

in the athletes? village in Glasgow So the waiting is almost ovdr

:24:15.:24:17.

:24:21.:24:30.

Over the next couple of weeks lots of sunshine around and tempdratures
