Prison officers are underpaid and would be better off | :00:11. | :00:25. | |
working in warehouses - that's what a Kent MP has told | :00:26. | :00:25. | |
the Prisons Minister today after inmates at HMP Swaleside took | :00:26. | :00:26. | |
The prison on the Isle of Sheppey has been branded | :00:27. | :00:27. | |
'dangerous' in the past, with inspectors saying staff | :00:28. | :00:28. | |
Swaleside prison three days before Christmas 2016. | :00:29. | :00:42. | |
The chant, no face, no case, suggesting prisoners | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
Potential weapons on display, reports of a fire lit. | :00:45. | :00:54. | |
Nobody was injured and most of the prison was kept under control. | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
One of the triggers was thought to be | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
when prisoners discovered they would be locked up | :01:00. | :01:00. | |
in their cells longer than expected over Christmas. | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
Prisoners start to escalate in violence and get-together. The | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
prison staff would have realised they were outnumbered and the | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
situation was becoming volatile. They know the prisoners | :01:12. | :01:20. | |
well and can generally calm them down using polite | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
persuasive techniques. The local MP praised | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
the staff today, It is more advantageous for a prison | :01:28. | :01:28. | |
officer to go and get a job in a warehouse where | :01:29. | :01:37. | |
they will earn more money. They need to papers and others | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
is what they are worth. The starting salary | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
for a prison officer A relative of three inmates | :01:44. | :01:44. | |
said today that the prisoners human rights | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
were not being respected. A report in July concluded | :01:49. | :01:49. | |
that too many prisoners 69% of them felt | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
unsafe and the use of Last night's incidents | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
have echoes of 12 hours of rioting in Birmingham just | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
a week ago and at Bedford and Lewis The Home Office said no extra prison | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
officers had been sent to HMP Swaleside as a result, | :02:06. | :02:23. | |
but experts detect a trend. For those of us that work | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
in the sector, we have been expecting disturbances such | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
as this for some time as conditions have worsened over | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
the last few years. The Ministry of Justice know the | :02:35. | :02:44. | |
problem. With seems like last night appearing on the television and the | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
MP saying wages are too low, it makes the job even less attractive. | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
There's anger among residents in the village of Yalding | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
who say government action to protect their homes against | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
During Christmas 2013, flooding devastated this part of Kent. | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
?2.4 million of government money will go to flood | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
defences in the village but they say it's not enough. | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
An anniversary they would rather forget. | :03:06. | :03:23. | |
In the New Year, the environment agency says they | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
will do a survey for every home at high risk of flooding and that | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
residents will have ?7,500 to spend on protecting their homes. | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
This is actually part of the flood defence. | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
We have got these for all three of the outside doors here. | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
The money could be used to install measures | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
like these, measures many residents already have in place. | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
The bottom metre of bricks were treated with | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
We have valves which stop the effluent coming out of the | :03:48. | :04:01. | |
downstairs loo and into the kitchen sink. | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
For many residents remembering the flood three years | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
ago, they are realistic about the future. | :04:06. | :04:06. | |
If you are going to make a property resilient, it is going to | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
flood anyway, so you need to make it properly resilient, not piecemeal, | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
and ?7,500 per property is not going to go very far. | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
The government had announced a flood defence scheme | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
back in 2014, but in August, residents were told that simply | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
wouldn't work and instead it would be more effective to shore up houses | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
Despite disappointment in the village about the sums | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
available, the environment agency insists their plans will make a | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
There are other things we can do, looking at whether we | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
build small embankments or walls around communities as well, ensuring | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
communities are as resilient as possible. | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
We need to look at ways to keep the power on if there is a | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
Thankfully, residents here are confident these images will not | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
be repeated this Christmas but they are less positive about the future. | :04:55. | :05:05. | |
A video's emerged of another senior official at rail union | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
the RMT calling for an "overthrow of capitalism" to create | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
This time it was the Senior Assistant General Secretary Steve | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
Hedley who made the comments on 'Russia Today' last month. | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
Our union, it is very clear in our rule book, we're renowned | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
antagonistic relationship with the bosses. We want to overthrow | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
capitalism and create a socialist society. We want to make life easier | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
for everybody. Well it comes after 8 months | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
of disruption and strikes on Southern rail over the role | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
of the guard. One MP has called the comments | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
"a disgrace", saying the view It's extraordinary that somebody who | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
claims to represent working people in the United Kingdom decides to go | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
on Russian television to admit that what is actually doing is holding | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
300,000 people hostage now consultant. | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
And finally, a Yuletide yarn to set the scene for Xmas Eve. | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
Sightseers from across Kent are heading to Herne Bay | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
to see their woolly wonders - the town's post boxes - | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
This year, the number of knitters making seasonal stetsons and festive | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
fezzes has more than doubled, ensuring this Christmas post | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
That's it from me, the national weather forecast in a moment, | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
but first let's get the picture in the South East | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
Good evening. If you bet on a white Christmas I'm afraid it isn't | :06:25. | :06:36. | |
looking good. Yes, we stay very windy, with storm Barbara to the | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
west of us, but particularly by Christmas Day, it is very barmy. We | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
could even see 15 degrees by the afternoon. Three tonight, initially | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
we have that band of rain. That clears three thanks to the strength | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
of those winds. Behind it, clearer skies and temperatures drop to four | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
or 5 degrees. We are staying frost free because of the winds. It will | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
be bright but very cold as we start Christmas Eve. For us, a dry and | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
actually quite sunny day. By the afternoon, highs of eight or 9 | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
degrees. Yes, it stays blustery throughout the day. Look at this as | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
we go from viscous -- from Christmas Eve to Christmas Day. We have a warm | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
front bringing some cloud and outbreaks of rain but the | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
temperatures will not change from daytime police. Starting at eight or | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
9 degrees big day? Christmas Day. It will stay | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
mild and temperatures could reach 14, 15. He is down bet that the | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
national picture. It will be more northern parts of | :07:37. | :07:46. | |
the UK that see the worst of the weather. Another storm is developing | :07:47. | :07:55. | |
in the Atlantic. This will turn into Storm Connor. This cloud has wrapped | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
around storm Barbara. It brought gusty winds in the West. Some | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
localised flooding in Scotland early on and the strongest winds in the | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
north of Scotland approaching 80 miles an hour. The amber window | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
warning from the Met Office is about to expire. It remains windy | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
overnight. In Scotland and Northern Ireland there will be frequent heavy | :08:21. | :08:21. |
