:01:46. > :01:49.shipping container, the priority was to make sure they got medical
:01:50. > :01:50.attention, but throughout the day the focus has shifted to the police

:02:08. > :02:09.when this ship was being unloaded By the time they were found, they
:02:10. > :02:15.were desperate to attract attention. Members of staff who were starting
:02:16. > :02:21.to dismantle the cargo and unload, heard screaming and banging noises,
:02:22. > :02:29.so that started to raise the alert. Staff at the port very quickly
:02:30. > :02:35.breached the container door and found these 35 people

:02:41. > :02:42.and initial treatment, they were taken to three hospitals,
:02:43. > :02:45.the largest number here to Basildon, Police say they believe they are
:02:46. > :02:50.from the Indian subcontinent, but until they can be interviewed
:02:51. > :02:53.through interpreters, they won't know
:02:54. > :02:56.where their journey began, and it's not clear how they came
:02:57. > :03:00.to be inside a shipping container. The conditions were very difficult,
:03:01. > :03:04.I can't comment on how much room there was in there
:03:05. > :03:07.compared to the number of people, we believe they were at least
:03:08. > :03:12.12 hours in the container. Ambulances remained at the port
:03:13. > :03:15.for much of the day as other containers from the ship
:03:16. > :03:18.was searched as a precaution, A few of those being treated in
:03:19. > :03:23.hospital may be kept in overnight for observation, but police say

:09:50. > :09:52.is about freedom and justice. It is an examplar,
:09:53. > :09:56.a model of democratic conduct. And I'm not sure if Mr Abbott
