Welcome to South East Today, I'm Rob Smith. | :00:05. | :00:07. | |
And I'm Polly Evans. Tonight's top stories: | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
They may have to sell their home - the parents facing a bill of tens | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
of thousands to fly their seriously injured son back from Bali. It's | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
like the most awful nightmare, you know. You know... I just want | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
Richard home. We are live in Westminster asking what the Foreign | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
Office can do to help. The primary school pupils | :00:29. | :00:32. | |

Good evening. The parents of a man from Kent | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
seriously injured in a motorbike accident in Indonesia say they may | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
have to sell their home in order to get him back home. Richard Plummer | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
is still in a coma in a hospital in Bali. His pregnant girlfriend is | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
with him. But his travel insurance had lapsed | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
- and Richard's parents Eric and June Plummer have already spent | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
more than �20,000 in medical bills. They could end up having to pay | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
another �100,000 to have him flown home. Lynda Hardy reports. | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
The pain of her son's situation is clear. It is like the most awful | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
nightmare, you know. You know... I just want Richard home. | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
After first travelling there two years ago, Richard returned to Bali | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
from a visit home to Maidstone in February, back to his pregnant | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
Indonesian girlfriend. But discovered two weeks ago | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
unconscious by the roadside after a motorbike accident, he's now in a | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
coma, stranded in a local hospital in the country, without travel | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
insurance. It's so far cost his parents over | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
�7,000 in medical bills, �15,000 for a medical air fare to a | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
specialist hospital in Singapore - an option which eventually fell | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
through - and they now face a bill of �96,000 to repatriate their son | :02:22. | :02:32. | |
:02:32. | :02:41. | ||
If there is an option, it is selling the house. To be quite | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
honest, I don't know. I haven't got an option. I am 75, there are not | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
many people going to have blown me much money at the age of 75. It is | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
going to have come to the stage where I can't pay any more -- and | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
loaned me money. What will happen to Richard, I don't know. Whether | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
they will just ceased to treat him, I don't know. | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
Richard had let his travel insurance lapse, after apparently | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
failing to renew it due to a lack of money. As this case highlights, | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
medical bills, if you fall seriously ill while abroad, can be | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
horrendous. As can the cost of getting someone back to the UK in a | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
specially adapted air ambulance. Tens of thousands, even hundreds of | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
thousands of pounds. It is this risk alone that makes travel | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
insurance essential for anyone travelling overseas. His parents' | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
local MP is now trying to help the couple to travel out to Indonesia | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
to see their son in hospital. have been with the family for much | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
of the weekend and it is a dreadfully sad situation, although | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
they are brave, strong people and they want their son home. The | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
response to the local community has been absolutely amazing ended less | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
than 48 hours, we have raised �4,500 to get Mr and Mrs Plummer | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
and their son on a plane to go and see Richard and when they are there, | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
they will assess the situation and determined what we need to either | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
get Richard home or getting to the better facility in another country. | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
-- get him. Meanwhile, the family have set up a | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
website to appeal for donations to help raise what seems to them like | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
an unachievable amount of money to bring Richard home. | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
Lynda Hardy joins us live now from Westminster. We heard in your | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
report that the family's MP is helping. Is there anything more the | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
Foreign Office can do? Well, Helen Grant, who as you heard | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
in my report, the MP for Maidstone, told me that she and the family are | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
liaising with the foreign office but they will not pay to repatriate | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
Richard. She did say however that they were providing consular | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
assistance out in Bali in the form of an Indonesian interpreter who is | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
contacting the hospital and translating medical report back to | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
the family in Kent. Tomorrow, Eric and June Plummer and their eldest | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
son will fly out to Indonesia to see Richard in hospital. While they | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
are there, efforts will continue back here to try and get Richard | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
home, despite the cost. Parents at a Kent school are | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
fighting to save one of their teachers from being deported. Kylie | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
Wheatley from Canada has been teaching on the Isle of Sheppey for | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
two years. But when she tried to prolong her | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
stay at West Minster Primary School, the Home Office said her visa | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
couldn't be extended and she'd have to go. Simon Jones reports. | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
Protests at the school gates, to try and save a teacher who will | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
leave the country on Sunday. I am devastated, to be honest. I know it | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
is going to be an emotional roller- coaster. I want to stay, it is not | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
ready my choice at all, I would rather continue my life here -- if | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
not really. She has three degrees from Canada, but that, it seems, is | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
not enough. When we found dead, we were really upset and I don't think | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
it is fair that she has to go -- found out. She is one of the top | :06:04. | :06:12. | |
teachers. We feel Robb, considering she has already been here two years. | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
Before she taught me, I didn't believe in myself and I was one | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
year behind. But now she has stepped into my education, I am one | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
year ahead of what I am supposed to be. I really don't want her to go. | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
Kylie Wheatley came here on what is called a youth mobility visa, which | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
allowed her to work for two years. Now that time is up, the UK Border | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
Agency says the only option is for her to return to Canada. She can | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
apply from there to come back to England, but she says she has been | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
told that because it is a different kind of visa, her qualifications | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
she has used for the past two years will not be significantly | :06:56. | :07:03. | |
recognised. Their ideas to give British people a chance rather than | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
relying on people from abroad. have to abide -- make sure that we | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
can make a realistic problems too young school leavers. | :07:11. | :07:17. | |

In a moment: Celebrating a successful open in Sandwich after | :07:35. | :07:45. | |
:07:45. | :07:51. | ||
Darren Clarke's win at his 20th Sundeep was just 22 when she was | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
terribly scarred, after acid was thrown in her face in an apparently | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
random attack. It was feared she would lose her right eye after the | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
incident near her home in Kenya. But her uncle, who lives in Britain, | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
put her in touch with the pioneering McIndoe Surgical Centre | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
at East Grinstead, in Sussex, and over the last six years they have | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
rebuilt her face - and helped rebuild her life. Sara Smith has | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
been to meet her. Sundeep had been in the car with | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
her father when somebody threw acid over have. That person has never | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
been identified and she has never found out why she was attacked. Her | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
eyelids, her top lip and part of her nose burnt away. The rest of | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
her face and her shoulders and chest were terribly scarred. | :08:35. | :08:42. | |
first time I saw it, it was a shock. It was really upsetting. It felt | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
like the world was coming to an end. There was no hope that I would get | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
better. Everything felt like it has gone in a second. For had she | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
stayed in Kenya, she would almost certainly have lost her sight | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
plummeted. But her case was taken on by surgeons at McIndoe Surgical | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
Centre in East Grinstead. More than 30 operations later, the results | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
were clear. She needed operations on her upper eyelids, surgery to | :09:15. | :09:22. | |
her neck, and subsequently to her upper lip and to her hair, to try | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
and expanded, because she had a large bald patch. The -- expand it. | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
They have done an amazing job and I feel really lucky that I got them | :09:32. | :09:40. | |
to treat me and help me to reach this far. It makes me feel like I | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
still can live like a normal person. Just that, going back to work and | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
marrying her fiance. She admits while in hospital, he was good -- | :09:51. | :09:58. | |
he was going to tell her it was over. Good times and bad times, why | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
can't we be together? It never came across my mind that I would say | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
that. Because she is the same person? Yes. While the medical | :10:07. | :10:14. | |
staff gave their time for free, the rest was pay for by a a McIndoe | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
Surgical Centre support group and Sundeep's family. Now they are | :10:17. | :10:27. | |
:10:27. | :10:28. | ||
trying to raise more to continue the surgery. | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
A friend of a woman accused of murdering her two young children | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
told Lewes Crown Court today that she had seemed "nervous" when she | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
saw her a day earlier, but that nothing she did made her concerned | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
for the youngsters' welfare. The bodies of three-year-old Harry and | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
two-year-old Elise Donnison were found in the boot of a car near | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
their former family home in Heathfield in January last year. | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
Fiona Donnison denies two counts of murder. | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
A conman nicknamed "Champagne Charlie", who is believed to have | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
tricked people out of more than �11,000, may be in Brighton, | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
according to Sussex police. The man offers people bottles of Bollinger | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
at a bargain price, but when they hand over cash, he never returns. | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
The man has the name "Sharon" tattooed on his forearm. | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
It is claimed that cuts to Border Agency staff are allowing some | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
lorries to pass through Calais without undergoing sufficient | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
checks for illegal immigrants. The Immigration Services Union says the | :11:16. | :11:19. | |

The Bishop of Tonbridge has entered the assisted dying debate. The | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
Right Reverend Dr Brian Castle says "society has forgotten the art of | :11:50. | :11:58. | |
dying". He also says many people are no longer willing to submit to | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
the mystery of death. The comments are in response to a | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
BBC documentary which showed a man taking his own life at the so- | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
called Swiss suicide clinic, Dignitas. Ian Palmer reports. | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
He believes in an afterlife, but the Bishop of Tonbridge feels some | :12:10. | :12:18. | |
of us are not treating this life with enough respect. So often, we | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
have forgotten that death is a mystery. We often treated a bit | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
like an ordinary everyday event, and it is something so much more | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
mysterious and significant. I and 62 and I was diagnosed with | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
Alzheimer's three years ago -- I am. Terry Pratchett wants assisted | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
dying to be legalised in this country. The author followed a man | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
with motor neurone disease to Swizterland. The last moments of | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
Peter Smedley's life were shown on British television. Although he | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
didn't watch the programme, the documentary prompted the Bishop of | :12:48. | :12:56. | |
Tonbridge to write a letter to the Church Times. I think that we live | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
in a society which tries to encourage us to try and control | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
everything we do from the moment we get up until the moment we go to | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
bed. And it is encouraging us to think we can control everything. | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
Ultimately, death is something we cannot control, and I think that | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
what the assisted suicide debate tries to do and what clinics like | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
Dignitas try to do is show us that we can control death. We may be | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
able to control the moment of death, but we cannot control the process | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
of dying. But Jon Bray disagrees. His son | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
Simon died last month. The father of two endured months of pain. Mr | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
Bray says Simon wanted to end his life in Swizterland but wasn't | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
strong enough to make the trip. had the necessary drugs to put him | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
down, and I was too frightened to use them. Subsequently, I learned | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
from my GP that in fact, they would not have worked, because if he was | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
so full of morphia. But I felt very guilty that I couldn't help him in | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
his hour of need, because he was a lucky boy. -- lovely. | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
Two men - two arguments,disunited over death. Both had the courage to | :14:07. | :14:16. | |
speak out. Will the nation follow A Maidstone couples so they may | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
have to sell the house in order to get their son home from Indonesia. | :14:21. | :14:27. | |

Families in an East Sussex town struggling with their shopping | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
bills are being offered free food. The food bank in Eastburn is the | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
first in the South East but is one of 117 in the country. Between them | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
last year they fed 61,500 people. That is a rise up of 50% on the | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
previous year. In tonight's special report, we met the people who say | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
the food bank is an invaluable service. | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
Daniel is 16 and living in a hostel for young homeless people. Without | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
the food bank, he would have gone hungry. His benefit payments have | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
been delayed so he does not have enough money for food. It is so | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
simple. You just get referred there. They are so nice there. They give | :15:40. | :15:48. | |
up their own time to give you the whole -- to give you the food. | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
donated food is collected from schools, churches and supermarkets. | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
In the last few weeks, they have stockpiled almost a one-ton. Some | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
people have brought carrier bags full of stuff. It has been quite | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
amazing. The people who had been receiving the food, they have been | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
so grateful. It has been amazing. In a lot of instances they have | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
nowhere else to time. This is the first food bag in the South East | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
outside London. Another is planned for the Medway towns. The food is | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
stored here and sorted into boxes like these. Each box contains three | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
days' worth of food. It is designed to be quick and helpful. If the | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
adventurers are distributed by health visitors and parents' | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
support -- parent support advisers. The EC demand here is huge. | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
significant number of the family is that we are working with our | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
suffering real financial hardship. It is really good to know that | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
there is an organisation that is devoted to getting some real | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
practical help for these families. Daniel is returning to college in | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
September and eventually is hoping to join the Army. Until then, the | :17:03. | :17:13. | |

Malibu, Bondi, Broadstairs, at the names of the world's great surfing | :17:19. | :17:25. | |
beaches just chip off the tongue, do they not? Perhaps this that | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
coast does not have quite the same international cachet but people | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
have been surfing here for a long time. | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
They were first inspired by the sound of the Californian beach boys | :17:38. | :17:48. | |
:17:48. | :17:59. | ||
and an exhibition celebrating this Meet the Beach Boys. Bronzed, up | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
bare-breasted, this is the 1960s and the surf is up along the east | :18:05. | :18:13. | |
coast. East coast of Kent, that is. Et it was the music of the Beach | :18:13. | :18:23. | |
:18:23. | :18:26. | ||
Boys. It is the magic of the waves and meeting your friends and all | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
the things that go with it. That whole complex of lifestyle. | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
Interaction of surfboards, music, the beach, fashion and going into | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
sour. This is the story of the pioneering at surfers of Thanet, | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
told in pictures, music and of course through their surfboards. | :18:49. | :18:57. | |
This is the first surfboard that came to Kent. Yes. In 1966. Being | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
seen driving around with this on the roof was so cool! People could | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
not understand, they thought we were just showing off. But we had | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
discovered some awesome serve nearby and suddenly everyone around | :19:11. | :19:21. | |
:19:21. | :19:27. | ||
Some people who make their way here will be surprised to find that | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
there is a surfing theme here. They are calling it the Bechtel and that | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
will be the way that many people remember it out there. -- the Big | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
Chill. We all share the same experiences. Freezing water cold | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
wind, chilblains! There is something about the surface. They | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
were all smiling then and gathering round today, they still seem to | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
have the last laugh. Brave or crazy? | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
Freezing rains, it sounds like the Open! | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
Speaking of which, it may have read a lot but it was most certainly not | :20:09. | :20:18. | |
at damp squid -- squib. Darren Clarke one of the title at his 20th | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
attempt. Our correspondent has been there | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
all way through and is still there. He is with two people who have | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
their own reasons were smiling. It is hard to believe that just 24 | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
hours ago this stand was jam-packed with people waiting to celebrate | :20:34. | :20:44. | |
with Darren Clarke. That is where he picked up the Claret Jug. Many | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
people watched some wonderful golf and endured some terrible weather, | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
but by common consent this was one of the most wonderful open | :20:50. | :21:00. | |
:21:00. | :21:17. | ||
I have never done anything anywhere near as good as this. It is just | :21:17. | :21:26. | |
incredible. I have loved it. I have been to every Open since 1981 that | :21:26. | :21:36. | |
:21:36. | :21:41. | ||
they have had down here. It is We have time that today and my | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
friend who is with me has gone back to the Bar because he has had | :21:45. | :21:52. | |
enough. I will plonk myself tenure for an hour to and see our goal. -- | :21:52. | :22:02. | |
:22:02. | :22:06. | ||
down here. I was hoping that if I was hit by anyone's ball, it should | :22:06. | :22:16. | |
:22:16. | :22:23. | ||
Fish it -- the support that you have shown me has helped me to | :22:23. | :22:30. | |
stand here, so to you all, thank you so, so, much from all my heart, | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
thank you. For Darren Clarke it was a fairy-tale but there were plenty | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
of other wonderful stories as well. This man qualified from one of the | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
local clubs. It was incredible. You cannot put into words how it felt | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
out there. They cried watching you and applauding your moves and | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
family and friends what you, it was just incredible. And it has | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
revitalised a golfing career? Massively. I have got sponsorship | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
and I'm going out to the States later in the year to try and | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
qualified for the PGA tour. I hope to have a good year next year. | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
you have impressed some American golfers. Yes. I have played a | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
couple of practice rounds with them. One let me stay at his house. He is | :23:20. | :23:28. | |
also going to pay for me to go out to the States. David, at great | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
golfing success. Commercially? We know that the last Open produced an | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
economic impact of around 100 million times. I do not think we | :23:36. | :23:43. | |
will be far from that this weekend. The shops were beamed all over the | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
world. This is the close as part of the country to northern Europe so | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
we expect holidaymakers and tourists to come here. Thank you | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
very much. It could be 10 years before it returns but in the | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
meantime we have some terrific memories. | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
He is only three months old and has been born at a zoo in East Sussex. | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
He is a Madagascar and black lemur, they are very rare. He has just | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
started to come down off his mother's back to explore. | :24:20. | :24:28. | |
Claiming to mum. The orderly of faith, but then back to claim to | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
mum. Here are some vital stats. He was born in April and his favoured | :24:34. | :24:41. | |
foot, despite what you see here, is peer. It is plain. That is all he | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
is interested in. He goes around the other lemurs to try end Errity | :24:46. | :24:56. | |
:24:56. | :25:20. | ||
them and have a good time. -- Black lemurs usually carry their | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
children for up to six months. He is now a two-month old and he is | :25:25. | :25:31. | |
getting increasingly confident. His dad came to this to -- to this do | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
from Tunis the app and his mum from Portugal, as part of the European | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
endangered species programme. Here though, life is good. Dad is at | :25:42. | :25:50. | |
hand to fend off the masses Welsh he puts up his own fight for food. | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
-- whilst he puts up his own fight. He is almost as cute as Michael | :25:56. | :26:06. | |
I have found our summer. The trouble is that is 1000 miles away | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
and it is not coming away. Today, we had a giant swirling Catherine | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
wheel across the country. Loads of cloud and showers sweeping around. | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
That is an area of low pressure. That will drift away northwards in | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
the next few hours, at the weather will hardly change it will be cool | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
and sherry. Hardly anything is going to change for the last at -- | :26:33. | :26:40. | |
rest of the week. -- cool and showery. Moore low-pressure will | :26:40. | :26:49. | |
come in from the south-west. That will trigger some heavy rain. We | :26:49. | :26:55. | |
have had a fair number of showers. They will keep going into the | :26:55. | :27:02. | |
evening. Those showers will continue through the evening, they | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
will fade away in the early hours so that most places will have a try | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
end to the night. Actually might also, temperatures down to 11 | :27:12. | :27:20. | |
degrees in some places. A chilly night. There could be the odd heavy | :27:20. | :27:25. |
