The mayor of Calais threatens to blockade the port,

:00:11.:00:21.

unless the UK does more to help with the illegal migrant problem.

:00:22.:00:24.

We'll be getting live reacthon to the threat live from Dovdr.

:00:25.:00:26.

A couple left injured and traumatised by the Sheppey

:00:27.:00:28.

crossing crash say that a ydar on, and nothing has changed.

:00:29.:00:31.

The care home forced to close after inspectors raised concerns

:00:32.:00:34.

The Norwegian sailors who fought alongside

:00:35.:00:37.

their British counterparts hn World War Two are honoured in Dovdr.

:00:38.:00:41.

Actress Jenny Seagrove tells us about her play about a radio plays,

:00:42.:00:46.

The mayor of Calais has thrdatened to block the French port if Britain

:00:47.:01:05.

does not do more to help control the rising number of migrants

:01:06.:01:08.

Natacha Bouchart said her chty was being "taken hostage"

:01:09.:01:13.

Her threat has been describdd as 'barmy and illegal',

:01:14.:01:18.

with ferry operators saying it would create chaos in cross`Channdl

:01:19.:01:20.

The mayor in Calais says thd English are not listening to concerns about

:01:21.:01:42.

what is happening. She feels the best way to get on the action will

:01:43.:01:47.

be to block the port, and she wants a new centre for migrants. The aim

:01:48.:01:54.

is to show `` shuts down thd squats so there are fewer migrants

:01:55.:01:59.

arriving. In the past, it h`s largely been fishermen who blockaded

:02:00.:02:04.

in Natacha Bouchart over protests over migrants.

:02:05.:02:17.

`` blockaded in Calais. It will harm over and it will harm our local

:02:18.:02:24.

economies. The recent tearing down of makeshift migrant camp in Natacha

:02:25.:02:31.

Bouchart has not settle the issue. A blockade of Natacha Bouchart will be

:02:32.:02:35.

very damaging to our business and cross Channel trade generally. `` a

:02:36.:02:42.

blockade of Calais. The shedr number of migrants running around now has

:02:43.:02:46.

reached an all`time high, and what is needed is a political solution to

:02:47.:02:51.

try and stem the flow, stem the tide of people trying to get into return

:02:52.:02:58.

from the port of Calais. Kexnote watchers from `` I do not think they

:02:59.:03:06.

are doing enough. I cannot see what blockade he the port is going to do.

:03:07.:03:11.

It is such a massive problel, there is no simple pseudo` `` solttion.

:03:12.:03:19.

What about a blockade? Posshbly Both countries would suffer. It

:03:20.:03:26.

works both ways. There are calls for an international solution. We have a

:03:27.:03:31.

lot of sympathy with them. H prefer to think this is a cry of hdlp ``

:03:32.:03:36.

for help from the mayor. I `m not sure which legal basis she would

:03:37.:03:40.

have to close the port. How seriously are politicians

:03:41.:03:46.

on this side of the Channel taking The Home Office would not comment on

:03:47.:04:00.

it directly tonight, but thdy did point out that last week, the Home

:04:01.:04:04.

Secretary met her French cotnterpart and they agreed to do more to work

:04:05.:04:11.

closely to look at the issud of migration in Calais, and thdy are

:04:12.:04:16.

considering sending over te`ms to convince migrants that Brit`in is

:04:17.:04:21.

not the promised land. But Natacha Bouchart has gone on Twitter and

:04:22.:04:27.

Natacha Bouchart and see for himself Natacha Bouchart and see for himself

:04:28.:04:33.

the situation. Less like ``, to Calais.

:04:34.:04:38.

I think there is a growing realization tonight that thhs is not

:04:39.:04:45.

just a problem for France or Britain, it is one that needs an

:04:46.:04:46.

international solution. Let's cross live to Paris

:04:47.:04:50.

and speak to our Why has

:04:51.:04:53.

the mayor made this threat now? I think she has been putting on the

:04:54.:05:03.

pressure for some time now, both on Britain and also on the central

:05:04.:05:07.

government in Paris to do more to help with the costs of managing this

:05:08.:05:13.

situation and ten three macro. She acknowledged that her threats to

:05:14.:05:16.

close the port would be illdgal if she carried it out, so this could be

:05:17.:05:21.

a threat designed to raise `wareness rather than an imminent acthon that

:05:22.:05:26.

she is looking to take. So hf it is just a threat, where do things

:05:27.:05:32.

proceed from here? At the moment, there are plans being talked about.

:05:33.:05:37.

The mayor has confirmed that the Interior Minister is looking at

:05:38.:05:41.

plans to open some kind of centre. Both sides say it will be something

:05:42.:05:48.

like eight day care centre, somewhere where the migrants can

:05:49.:05:53.

have a shower and some food, and an overnight facility for women and

:05:54.:05:56.

children, so it is hoped th`t that will help stem some of the problems

:05:57.:05:59.

that we are seeing at the moment. How Scotney Castle is renov`ting

:06:00.:06:01.

the 600`year`old wallpaper. A Kent woman says she has been left

:06:02.:06:13.

physically and emotionally traumatised by the Sheppey Crossing

:06:14.:06:15.

crash, and that a year 150 vehicles were involved hn the

:06:16.:06:18.

incident in thick fog on thd bridge. It was one of the biggest road

:06:19.:06:25.

accidents ever seen in the TK. Gill Hudson says her sufferhng is

:06:26.:06:28.

made worse because she still doesn't know

:06:29.:06:34.

if a safety review is going to be Police said it was a miracld no`one

:06:35.:06:44.

was killed. As drivers tried desperately to avoid hitting each

:06:45.:06:49.

other in a pile`up banning the entire `` the entire crossing. I

:06:50.:06:55.

cannot explain how loud it was and how dreadful it sounded, thd

:06:56.:07:01.

screaming and shouting. Among those hurt was this woman. One ye`r later,

:07:02.:07:06.

she is still injured and is seeking treatment for post traumatic stress

:07:07.:07:11.

disorder. A started feeling sick, I was sick, and I was bringing up

:07:12.:07:17.

quite a bit of blood, and I realised something was quite seriously wrong,

:07:18.:07:20.

and it turned out by had ruptured my esophagus, so that has been ongoing

:07:21.:07:26.

for the last year. The biggdst ever pile`up in the South East h`ppened

:07:27.:07:31.

in heavy fog with visibilitx down to just 20 yards. 150 vehicles were

:07:32.:07:36.

involved in a series of crashes which lasted for over ten mhnutes.

:07:37.:07:41.

No`one was killed but 35 people were taken to hospital, eight with

:07:42.:07:45.

serious injuries. A police investigation found the fog was a

:07:46.:07:49.

major factor, but evidence has suggested that some motorists were

:07:50.:07:53.

not driving appropriately for the conditions. In the past fivd

:07:54.:07:58.

minutes, I noticed a Laurier got into difficulty climbing thd

:07:59.:08:00.

southbound carriageway of the crossing, and as a result, `ll of

:08:01.:08:05.

this traffic has been brought to a virtual standstill, and for a wild,

:08:06.:08:09.

people have been asking for new safety measures 23 but in place

was so proud to be a Sheppex resident and have something like

:08:43.:08:48.

that, but now it brings the light `` mice out of me. The Departmdnt for

Transport said an ongoing investigation into the accident in

changes. On Friday, BBC Radio Kent whll

has been forced to close, amid concerns about it wasn't safe

for its residents. The Care Quality Commission found

:10:25.:10:26.

that treatment at Agape House in Chatham was not planned

:10:27.:10:29.

and delivered in a way that was intended to ensure

:10:30.:10:30.

people's safety and welfare. It also claims one person,

who died in 2013, Ellie Price joins us live

:10:34.:10:35.

from Chatham now. Ellie, a damning report,

:10:36.:10:39.

but it's unusual Yes, it really is unusual. Tonight,

:10:40.:10:49.

the CQC issued a statement saying that it did not take closurd lightly

:10:50.:10:54.

and it would always try to work with providers to encourage improvement

:10:55.:10:57.

but that it wanted to send ` strong public message that it would take

:10:58.:11:01.

action if care and welfare were at stake. That said, this is the second

:11:02.:11:06.

time that a care home has bden closed in less than a month. Just a

:11:07.:11:11.

few weeks ago, two other holes were closed, leading to concerns among

:11:12.:11:16.

critics that this is part of a wider issue of funding of adult social

:11:17.:11:20.

care, and that some care holes simply cannot afford to provide the

:11:21.:11:23.

care and services they should be. This has been a crisis in c`re for

:11:24.:11:28.

quite some time because of the funding regime from the loc`l

:11:29.:11:32.

authority, and what worries me is, when we see these in the prdss, we

:11:33.:11:35.

have to be careful that we understand what has caused these

:11:36.:11:40.

services to close, and is it because they are not funding them? There

:11:41.:11:46.

have been some changes to the way care homes will be scrutinised. The

:11:47.:11:53.

Association of care homes so that could lead to disruption and

:11:54.:11:57.

uncertainty and the closure of homes. I am told that in thd case of

:11:58.:12:01.

the Agape House, there were seven residence there, and the last two it

:12:02.:12:06.

out today, but all have found alternative accommodation.

remember, weather it is the Navy or the Air Force, if you are involved,

:15:19.:15:22.

and it is important to remelber we were the lucky ones, we camd back,

:15:23.:15:29.

so it is my duty, we should remember those who did not come back. We

:15:30.:15:33.

could not do what we do in the Navy without the support of the Norwegian

:15:34.:15:39.

Navy standing next to us and providing the support that people

:15:40.:15:44.

sometimes forget about, which helped us in conflict and in peacekeeping

:15:45.:15:51.

times as well. Today, long`term allies remembered yesterday's

:15:52.:15:56.

sacrifices. The memory of all those who served his cat `` isn't cast

:15:57.:16:02.

here in stone. Scotney Castle,

:16:03.:16:10.

set in almost 800 acres of Kentish parkland near Wadhurst,

:16:11.:16:12.

is regarded as one of the prettiest Bits

:16:13.:16:15.

of it date back to the 14th century, although the main house was built

:16:16.:16:18.

the year Victoria became Quden. But as you can imagine, keeping such

:16:19.:16:21.

a place up to scratch can bd a real headache, even something as simple

:16:22.:16:24.

as replacing faded wallpaper over a staircase becomes a major project,

:16:25.:16:27.

as Claudia Sermbezsis explahns. This is the house that an

:16:28.:16:48.

architectural historian inhdrited in 1952. His wife loved it, saxing it

:16:49.:16:54.

had a marvelously happy atmosphere, but she did not like the interior

:16:55.:17:02.

design, especially the staircase. The walls displayed strange weapons,

:17:03.:17:10.

taxidermy, there was even a gigantic decomposing boa constrictor on the

:17:11.:17:15.

landing, so she acquired thhs wallpaper from a friend of theirs,

:17:16.:17:18.

and this glorious gold pattdrned paper, and it is at that pohnt. .

:17:19.:17:25.

Over the years, the wallpapdr was damaged by the light streamhng in

:17:26.:17:31.

from the enormous windows. Ht is hoped that all of the renov`tion

:17:32.:17:37.

work needed will cost ?13,000, and Scotney Castle will be restored to

:17:38.:17:44.

the way it was intended. I think it will cost more than ?13,000. I would

:17:45.:17:50.

come back to have a look at it once it has been renovated. I cannot

:17:51.:17:53.

believe so much money was spent on wallpaper. That is amazing!

:17:54.:18:08.

Betty likes this wallpaper. It is quite a striking gold design. We're

:18:09.:18:14.

hoping that when it is restored people will get the feel of what she

:18:15.:18:18.

enjoyed about it and the detail and design. A French company has been

:18:19.:18:25.

commissioned to recreate thd design, and a specialist will be nedded to

:18:26.:18:28.

take down the original wallpaper to archive it.

:18:29.:18:34.

Football now and the opporttnity of a Wembley final is a step closer for

:18:35.:18:37.

two of our teams after succdssfully negotiating the first round

:18:38.:18:40.

Crawley beat Cambridge Unitdd 2`nil, and Gillingham enjoyed

:18:41.:18:45.

An injury hit Crawley town had an uneventful first half, but hn the

:18:46.:19:01.

second half, the luck began to turn. One goal was disallowed, but an own

:19:02.:19:09.

goal from Richard Tait put Crawley ahead. The manager of the Rdds says

:19:10.:19:17.

that although their score should have been higher, he was sehzed with

:19:18.:19:20.

their efforts. Good to see Charles getting on the score sheet. He has

:19:21.:19:26.

gotten very close in some of the games he has been involved hn. They

:19:27.:19:34.

really deserve it. It was a great performance. We head a few people

:19:35.:19:40.

missing, obviously. We head a few that are carrying knocks. They are

:19:41.:19:48.

all carrying some kind of injury. Gillingham went ahead early in their

:19:49.:19:56.

trip to Stephen H. The visitors held on throughout the second half, even

:19:57.:20:03.

when they were reduced to tdn men. A late challenge was given a xellow

:20:04.:20:08.

card. Mist opportunities in the second half, and Gillingham but

:20:09.:20:11.

there place in the next round. The first black British Armx officer

:20:12.:20:20.

and first black professional footballer, who came from Kdnt,

of commemorations of the centenary Second Lieutenant Walter Tull grew

:20:51.:20:52.

with troublesome children, but now Jenny Segrove is turning her

:20:53.:20:54.

hand to something a bit mord retro. She's joining up with the actor Tom

:20:55.:20:58.

Conti at Brighton's Theatre Royal to perform in a stage play abott three

:20:59.:21:01.

murder mystery radio plays very rarely heard since they werd written

:21:02.:21:04.

in the 30s, 40s and 50s. It is a treat for the years as well

:21:05.:21:18.

as the eyes. I have had a rdally interesting afternoon behind the

:21:19.:21:23.

stage door. This is unusual. This is a stage play about three radio

:21:24.:21:28.

plays. They were written in the 30s, 40s and 50s, and this one is all

:21:29.:21:34.

about years. Usually, when xou interview the stars, you have a

:21:35.:21:38.

polite chat somewhere comfortable, but not this afternoon. First, I'm

:21:39.:21:43.

it the dogs who are a part of the show, and something at the heart of

:21:44.:21:51.

the play. For this afternoon, I am going to be your sound effects

:21:52.:21:55.

artist and I am going to talk you through a few of these props.

:21:56.:22:02.

Goodness me! Walking on gravel! And, heavens above, this is the sound of

:22:03.:22:09.

grass. Here, we head a class that gets smashed. And a murder hs

:22:10.:22:19.

committed. It involves a cabbage. This play about three radio plays,

:22:20.:22:24.

Agatha Christie through and through, depends on the sound effects, a fark

:22:25.:22:31.

cry from the straight talking barrister. `` a far cry. I told you,

:22:32.:22:38.

John, I am not sure how I fdel. For me, the fine is inventing three

:22:39.:22:43.

different people with my vohce. That is great fun, and like a musical

:22:44.:22:47.

piece, sitting in with the sound effects, it really is like ` little

:22:58.:23:00.

the ladies. I will make your dream come true. An earlier success saw

:23:01.:23:05.

her in the countryside of the north, but Jenny told me the South East is

:23:06.:23:11.

her real home. My parents bought a house in Sussex and my aunt lived in

:23:12.:23:20.

Bowling Green, so I used to come to Brighton. We get the best atdiences

:23:21.:23:27.

here! There are real theatrd people here, absolutely. Which brings us

:23:28.:23:32.

back to that on stage cabbage. I am not going to describe who or why,

:23:33.:23:38.

however, this gets whacked will stop `` wax. In this whodunit, you hear
