I'm Rob Smith. The pensioner who died after | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
doctors treated the wrong lung. His family claim | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
Ashford's William Harvey Hospital It should not happen, let's be | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
honest. They've is no excuse for it. An exclusive interview with the | :00:17. | :00:26. | |
woman left fearing for her family's safety after her neighbour's dog | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
attacked her while she slept. A ?250 million plan to sweeten | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
the locals as Gatwick bosses go on a charm offensive over plans | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
for a second runway. We'll be live | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
at the airport with the details. How endangered short`haired | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
bumblebees seem to be thriving And Steve Backley's perfect fusion | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
of sport and science are recognised The family | :00:44. | :00:55. | |
of a Kent pensioner who died after hospital doctors treated the wrong | :00:56. | :01:12. | |
lung say they don't believe lessons A coroner has ruled that | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
Jim Chandler lost his life needlessly at the | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
William Harvey Hospital in Ashford, after a catalogue of failings led | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
to his right lung being treated, Jim Chandler died five days after | :01:23. | :01:42. | |
being admitted to hospital. Treatment on the wrong long caused | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
it to collapse. At the time it was something we could not comprehend. | :01:48. | :02:01. | |
`` wrong lung. There was no excuse for it, I appreciate they are busy | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
people. A doctor in his notes wrote down the wrong lung affected and | :02:10. | :02:18. | |
another field to check an X`ray. The way he passed away, you do not | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
expect his life to end like that. It was ultimately the wrong lung but | :02:25. | :02:34. | |
some of the treatment, the expert witnesses think it was the wrong | :02:35. | :02:42. | |
treatment anyway. Systemic errors were found stating a series of | :02:43. | :02:51. | |
failures led to the cause of death. It is something that should never | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
happen in a hospital. Unfortunately, the doctor in | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
question did not check carefully enough which she was meant to be | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
doing the procedure on and proceeded to operate on the wrong lung, | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
leaving both badly damaged. In a statement, they apologised for the | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
mistakes in care, saying they have taken steps to attempt to reduce the | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
risks, with all procedures of this sort now undertaken by two members | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
of staff. It has only ever been our intention to prevent this happening | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
in the future. And the family now want convincing that things really | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
have changed. What have the family had to say about the Doctor Who | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
carried this out? They say the do not feel any anger but feels she has | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
been left out `` let down by colleagues and managers. Since the | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
death, the family have met medical staff on three separate occasions | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
and have each time be left with more questions than answers and have yet | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
to see proof that things really have changed. We wanted the hospital to | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
come on the programme tonight to reassure the family and other | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
patients but they refused and would not let us into the hospital. They | :04:21. | :04:29. | |
say all records have to be checked now but they also have to be correct | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
in the first place. A Kent mother says she's been left | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
fearing for her family's safety, after a neighbour's dog broke | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
into her garden and attacked her Rachael Potter from Strood had to be | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
treated in hospital Rachel Potter says she was | :04:39. | :04:56. | |
sunbathing in the garden half asleep one hard neighbour's dog broke | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
through. I helped panting and opened my eyes and the dog was jumping | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
towards my face. As I stood up it bit into my arm. She said she fought | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
the dog off and went to hospital. The family says the police came 24 | :05:17. | :05:25. | |
hours after she phoned. It has turned our lives upside down. It is | :05:26. | :05:34. | |
now affecting our working lives and we want the dog to be taken away and | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
we feel the police have not helped us. Tough new penalties for dog | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
attacks were introduced in May. Allowing a dog to cause injury can | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
be punished by five years in prison. There is no longer any distinction | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
made between an attack on a public place or one on private property. If | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
your dog has entered a person, the maximum prison sentence is now up to | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
five years. There is an unlimited fine and compensation and as far as | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
the dog is concerned, a presumption that the dog shall be destroyed | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
unless you can prove it is not a danger. The Staffordshire bull | :06:17. | :06:24. | |
terrier cross was playful and calm today, and her owner says she must | :06:25. | :06:36. | |
have been startled. I have done my best to make sure he is not running | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
wild and this situation, if I had known there was a hole in the fence | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
I would not have allowed the dog into the garden, and would have | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
spent the whole summer making sure he cannot get through at all. Kent | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
police say they have the power to seize a dog immediately if out of | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
control in the presence of officers and if this is not the case, it can | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
be seized at a later time. Jon, what's the latest | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
on the police inquiries? Kent police say they have spoken to | :07:07. | :07:19. | |
both the victim and the dog's owner, and we have interviewed Mrs Smith | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
under caution but say enquiries are ongoing. She says that have dogged | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
the way it did because her neighbour was waving her arms around and | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
screaming when the dog was found. She says her dog is not vicious and | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
as good grandchildren but she accepts it is possible her dog may | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
be taken away and potentially destroyed. | :07:47. | :07:48. | |

Managers at Gatwick Airport have sank announced plans to invest more | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
than ?250 million in local jobs, housing and noise compensation | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
if they're given permission to build a second runway. | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
It's the latest initiative in their ongoing campaign to be allowed | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
The Government has appointed an aviation commission to look into | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
the future of UK runway capacity, as our Environment Correspondent | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
Managers at Gatwick are campaigning hard for permission to expand, | :08:18. | :08:29. | |
The busiest single runway in a report in the world. ?256 million | :08:30. | :08:45. | |
pledged to help ease local community concerns. A second runway would | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
stretch out before a second runway would stretch out before me. There | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
is also a light industry around here and 160 homes would have to face | :08:58. | :09:07. | |
compulsory purchase. There has been consultation with local people and | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
the airport wants to be seen to be listening to concerns. We have made | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
a few changes to reflect what people have said and in particular we have | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
added to the pledges already made to make sure people sharing the | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
benefits. Among the pledges, ?46 million for community | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
infrastructure. Owners of homes that need to be demolished will receive | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
25% above the market rate. The ?50 million noise compensation fund, but | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
campaigners say that is not enough. If you look at two runways, they | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
will make substantially more profits and the impact of that will be felt | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
by the shareholders and not by the local community, and it is us that | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
sufferers. There still seems to be mixed views over way a third runway | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
should go. It creates jobs and an influx of people and can be | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
positive. Stansted is 20 minutes from where I live! I travel in this | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
area regularly and it is wide open space. It is a good place to build | :10:20. | :10:28. | |
an airport. Gatwick says if it gets the go`ahead the second runway could | :10:29. | :10:29. | |
be built by 2025. Managers claim a second runway | :10:30. | :10:37. | |
at Gatwick is the quickest and cheapest option, but Heathrow's | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
bosses say a third runway's needed there to ensure Britain has | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
a large hub airport, capable of serving the highest possible | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
number of worldwide destinations. Campaigners opposed to that, | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
including the Mayor of London Boris Johnson, continue to lobby | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
for a new four`runway Thames Estuary All three options are being | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
considered by the Government`appointed | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
aviation commission, which will make a final decision | :10:57. | :10:57. | |
after the next general election. Any airport will half to put | :10:58. | :11:18. | |
investment in and will create new jobs, but Keith Lowe has a stronger | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
case in terms of the wider economic impact. `` Heathrow. It helps the UK | :11:23. | :11:33. | |
create and maintain a pre`eminent position. | :11:34. | :11:35. | |
So, Yvette, you've spent the day at Gatwick Airport. | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
Do they hope the financial package they have come up with will improve | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
Yes. Gatwick is determined to be a good neighbour because in the past | :11:42. | :11:56. | |
plans for a second runway have been met with fierce opposition. Back in | :11:57. | :12:04. | |
1989, an agreement was signed that no new runway would be built before | :12:05. | :12:12. | |
2015. The airport says a new runway would bring a massive boost to the | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
UK economy and 120,000 jobs, more than a new runway at Heathrow, so | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
the airport hopes that today's package will help convince the | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
commission that even though this is a big national plan, local people | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
and the environment are being taken into consideration. | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
We'll find out this autumn whether the Thames Estuary airport | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
remains on the Aviation Commission's shortlist, | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
But a final recommendation on where any new South East runways | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
should be built will not be put to the Government until next year. | :12:46. | :12:49. | |

28 people, from four different countries, were found in Calais, | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
hidden in the back of a lorry that had crossed the Channel from Dover. | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
They've now been returned to the UK but could be removed | :13:30. | :13:32. | |

When it opened in 1926, Brighton's Open Market was one of | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
But since the 1970's it's suffered a gradual decline. | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
Tonight, though, there are hopes that it can be | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
restored to its former glory as part of a multi`million pound | :13:52. | :13:53. | |
The market's seen investment in new stalls, workshops, | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
Our Business Correspondent Mark Norman joins us live from Brighton, | :13:57. | :14:06. | |
and, Mark, this is as much about the local community | :14:07. | :14:08. | |
It is, because when estate agents tell us it is about location, this | :14:09. | :14:26. | |
is a great location. We are near one of Brighton's most popular public | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
parks. There is a busy road and Brighton railway station. This is | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
about creating a busy place that is good for the community and for | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
businesses. This family have been selling fruit and veg here through | :14:41. | :14:49. | |
good and not so good times. This is the third incarnation of the market | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
I have worked on. The original one was in 1948 and they knocked down | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
and built another one in a strange shape. The family believe this is | :15:01. | :15:10. | |
the incarnation will boost the entire area. Brighton council handed | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
over the freehold to a community interest Company to run the | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
Newmarket and development was funded by one of the UK's largest housing | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
associations. We believe this will help transform the wider road and | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
area which is important for the Brighton and Hove Albion city | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
council. The nearby London Road has already benefited from being part of | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
the pilot scheme, and it is hoped this more tangible investment will | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
benefit all involved. Historically, people have passed through to get to | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
the station and the town centre, so probably thousands if not | :15:58. | :16:26. | |
have to attract more tenants and offer customers something different | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
but traders believe it is an encouraging start. We walked about | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
50 yards down the road to the back of the Brighton Open Market and we | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
can see the social housing, with the idea that people can live and work | :16:42. | :16:42. | |
here. It's probably the most important | :16:43. | :18:15. | |
post`mediaeval ship in England that we know of, one of only three built | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
under Cromwell in the late 17th The flagship of the fleet, | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
it was on its way from Chatham to Gravesend to pick up | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
Admiral Sir John Lawson, with his family, friends and other guests on | :18:30. | :18:37. | |
board. They were planning to greet | :18:38. | :18:39. | |
the Admiral. But the ship never reached | :18:40. | :18:41. | |
the Admiral because somehow the gunpowder on board was ignited and | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
a huge explosion split her in two. Marine archaeologists are | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
searching for artefacts. They have already retrieved pipes | :18:49. | :19:04. | |
and pots as well as ammunition Strong tides and bad visibility | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
because of all the sediment. For the first 45 minutes, it is very | :19:08. | :19:17. | |
black and you cannot see But the sediment has | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
also saved this ship. When organic remains settle | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
into the mud, they become preserved in an inorganic environment | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
which does not allow marine Lack of creatures means | :19:29. | :19:30. | |
good archaeology. Divers can only reach the wreck | :19:31. | :19:39. | |
when the tide is perfect, and now part of it has been exposed, | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
it is starting to disintegrate which They have no intention to raise | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
the wreck, only the artefacts on board, but instead it will be | :19:46. | :19:53. | |
preserved for future generations to He's one of the finest athletes | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
and Olympians this country's ever produced, and today, | :19:57. | :20:14. | |
the feats of Kent javelin thrower Steve Backley have been recognised | :20:15. | :20:16. | |
with an honorary degree. A former European gold medallist | :20:17. | :20:18. | |
and world record holder, he 's been honoured by the University | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
of Greenwich, and he spoke to our reporter Peter Whittlesea following | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
the ceremony at Rochester Cathedral. As soon as he burst onto the world | :20:25. | :20:42. | |
stage, he became a poster boy for British athletics. A decade after | :20:43. | :20:50. | |
retiring, Britain's greatest javelin thrower has received an honorary | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
degree. The highlight was sustaining a performance across 20 years. I was | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
still ranked 12 years later number one in the world, and what a rate | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
most highly was the ability to come back again and again. He won many | :21:10. | :21:19. | |
medals including seven olds. He broke the world record on seven | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
occasions and was the only British athlete to win gold medals at three | :21:25. | :21:32. | |
consecutive Olympic Games. He knows it is a time, the Commonwealth | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
Games, when talent can shine through. Adam Gemili is on form. We | :21:40. | :21:51. | |
talk about delivering under pressure and he can do that in abundance. | :21:52. | :21:59. | |
Steve Backley also had to cope with injuries, something Mo Farah will be | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
dealing with after having had to pull out today. He has put his body | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
under immense pressure and if he feels there is a need, that is how | :22:12. | :22:20. | |
it is. Steve Backley chose this over last night's opening ceremony in | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
Glasgow but tonight he will have a front`line seat as a commentator in | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
what he describes as one of the world's greatest sporting | :22:31. | :22:31. | |
spectacles. And sticking with the sporting | :22:32. | :22:33. | |
theme, competitors from the South East have been in action on | :22:34. | :22:35. | |
day one of the Commonwealth Games. Sian Honnor from Canterbury | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
skippered the women's fours to a comfortable 21`11 victory over | :22:39. | :22:40. | |
Canada in the lawn bowls. And the England women's hockey team | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
got off to a good start, after a hard`fought victory over | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
Wales, the winner coming from Nicola It is always nice to get on the | :22:47. | :23:05. | |
scoresheet. It was the first game and we can be nervous but I thought | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
we got a great result to start us on our way. | :23:10. | :23:10. | |
The England men's hockey team, with eight players from Kent | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
and Sussex, begin their campaign against Trinidad this evening. | :23:14. | :23:15. | |
They're hoping to top their group to avoid meeting favourites Australia | :23:16. | :23:17. | |
Britain's rarest bumblebees appear to be thriving on the Romney Marsh | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
in Kent, as part of a programme to reintroduce them to the UK. | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
The short`haired bumblebee became extinct here in 1988, | :23:26. | :23:26. | |
but queens from overseas have been brought to Dungeness to try to | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
As we reported in 2012, the first attempts were hampered | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
by cold weather, but conditions this year are proving ideal. | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
Jane Witherspoon has our Story Update. | :23:36. | :23:50. | |
It is the news that has got UK a college aid experts in a bus. The | :23:51. | :24:01. | |
short`haired bumblebees are back. We have had workers are emerging in the | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
last week because usually there are only ten in the first generation so | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
that suggests that there is more than one colony. Two years ago, | :24:16. | :24:23. | |
Queen bees were brought over from Sweden and the new sightings and | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
evidence they have finally nested. This will have an effect on | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
pollination on many of our flowers and agricultural crops. This is the | :24:34. | :24:45. | |
perfect natural habitat for the bumblebee. Two thirds of the UK's | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
wild flower species are found here meaning an abundance of food. It can | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
also mean why six of the seven most rear species can be found here. We | :24:59. | :25:05. | |
need enabling farmers to help us out. It is starting to happen and we | :25:06. | :25:13. | |
are seeing bumblebees reappearing. They'd still a lot work to be done | :25:14. | :25:22. | |
and not just from the bees. What a glorious day and looks set to | :25:23. | :25:24. | |
last! It has been warmer this week but | :25:25. | :25:36. | |
tomorrow, temperatures still in the mid`20s. Some showers late on | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
tomorrow with lots of sunshine around for us again with some wind. | :25:43. | :25:51. | |
Elsewhere, highs of 28 Celsius, very warm and Brighton. Temperatures only | :25:52. | :25:59. | |
dropping to around 17 Celsius tonight, remaining humid. Some cloud | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
cover around as we start the day tomorrow but again, lots of sunshine | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
and we eventually see some sharp showers, again fairly light, with | :26:09. | :26:15. | |
temperatures around 22 Celsius. Again, elsewhere as high as 29 | :26:16. | :26:24. | |
Celsius. Through tomorrow night, much more of the same with the | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
temperatures being widely in the mid teens. One or two showers around but | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
for the most part starting Saturday off pretty dry, with some scattered | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
showers and after rain on the Sunday, turning fresher. Lots of | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
sunshine again on Saturday with temperatures rising. A lovely | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
afternoon but this cold front means rain for a time and high`pressure | :26:55. | :27:01. | |
building, so increasingly settled and temperatures in the mid`20s. | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
Over the next couple of days, lots of sunshine on offer particularly | :27:08. | :27:08. | |
for Saturday afternoon. That's it from us for now and we | :27:09. | :27:20. | |
will be back tomorrow, goodbye. | :27:21. | :27:23. |
