Welcome to South East Today, I'm Polly Evans. And I'm Rob Smith. | :00:04. | :00:06. | |
Tonight's top stories. An extra �22 million for Kent's | :00:06. | :00:12. | |
children's services, as the council announces 400 job cuts. We'll be | :00:12. | :00:14. | |

to travel by train. It keeps going up and up and they have to stop and | :00:37. | :00:42. | |

should be going down. -- fares. Lives of the rich and famous; the | :00:49. | :00:52. | |

Good evening. Multi-million pound cuts at Kent County Council will | :01:05. | :01:12. | |
see hundreds of jobs go, services cut and efficiency savings made. | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
But one department - children's services - will be given �22 | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
million of extra money to try and sort out the problems of the last | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
two years. The department has previously come in for severe | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
criticism from OFSTED and opposition politicians for failing | :01:23. | :01:30. | |
vulnerable children. This criticism began following the death of a 25- | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
day-old baby in Tunbridge Wells, who had been slammed against a | :01:33. | :01:41. | |
table by her father. Our Correspondent Mark Norman reports. | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
The last two years have been a catalogue of disasters for Kent | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
County Council children's services department. In 20th March 10, | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
Christopher Selma and killed his baby daughter. The case review said | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
opportunities to protector had been missed. In December last year, | :02:00. | :02:08. | |
OFSTED found the protection inadequate. Earlier this year, the | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
government's at options experts said the council had lost its grip | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
and the deterioration should have been noticed. While cuts have been | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
made across the county council, children's services will receive | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
more money to sort out the mess. What we are seeking to do it over | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
the next few years is to reduce the need for children to come into care | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
in the first place. That require substantial investment. We are also | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
investing in adoption so that we can get children into stable and | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
loving families at the first opportunity. Families like that a | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
hard to find. This woman has fostered for the last six years. | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
You get paid per child and you look after them and they support you | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
through everything. They give you the equipment you need to look | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
after them. Today, the council say they are looking for more like | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
Sharon. They want the number to fall from 3000 to around 1000. It | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
is not easy. London boroughs are poaching fostering families and a | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
number of children could go up according to last month's report, | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
which could prove difficult. We're hoping for a sea change in society | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
and that we can say that local authority should getting quicker | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
and remove children sooner. He believes the figures will continue | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
to arise. The council are desperate to avoid | :03:34. | :03:42. | |
another Christopher Silman case but it is hoped that increasing money | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
will make a difference. Mark Norman is live in Tunbridge | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
Wells, where Christopher Sellman was living when he killed his baby | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
daughter, Tiffany. Do the council feel they are now on top of the | :03:51. | :03:59. | |
problems at children's services? think so. They have another OFSTED | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
inspection in the New Year where the ball to get inadequate berating | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
and then an outstanding making up in a couple of years' time. The | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
need to get the numbers of children down and it is enormously difficult. | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
Tower Hamlets are recruiting for foster-parents and dark for Derby | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
North Kent which makes it difficult for the local authority to find | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
their own foster-parents, but they say this money will help as the aim | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
for an outstanding rating. Now as we've heard, Kent County | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
Council is having to make savings of almost �100 million from its | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
budget next year - that's �33.5 million more than originally | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
identified. The county has a budget of �2.2 billion for the next | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
financial year, a cut of �97 million on this year. It will mean | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
an estimated 400 jobs having to go next year - the second round of a | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
total of 1,500 jobs being cut by the council over four years. Kent | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
County Council says the cuts are bigger than anticipated because of | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
rising costs, a reduction in its grant from central government, and | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
extra spending on some services. But they say they will protect the | :05:01. | :05:10. | |
majority of frontline services. We have to continually modernise | :05:10. | :05:17. | |
and innovate in a way that extracts yet more value from the money. I | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
believe that given a fair wind and the co-operation of the public | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
agencies, we can deliver improved frontline services in many cases, | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
with substantially less public money. Kent County Council's | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
spending plans also include an extra �22 million on children's | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
services. �89 million on adult social care. Another �89 million | :05:37. | :05:46. | |
for economic development and housing. | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
Kent County Council says it's having to make these savings partly | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
because of the cuts to government funding - how much are they having | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
to save overall? They say that local government was the area | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
hardest hit by central government cuts, which is correct. They have | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
to save around 28% of their budget over the next four years, which is | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
a saving of �324 million. They say that to say that I do like that, it | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
cannot be done by salami-slicing. They have to fundamentally | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
restructure the way in which they deliver services. How are they | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
hoping to achieve that? At the time of cuts, they received around �50 | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
million extra which was to go directly into health care. The | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
reason for this was the growing elderly population and they want to | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
identify the appropriate people earlier before they have to want a | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
hospital. Another caveat is the number of children needing care. | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
They're putting extra money into that. They say they want to reduce | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
the number to 1000 what after children in Kent. Annual report out | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
today says the number of children needing foster care has risen for | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
the fifth consecutive year, so it will not be easy to achieve. | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
Kent County Council says it hopes 75% of the savings will be made | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
through efficiencies, with other ideas, such as encouraging | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
community groups to take over the running of services such as | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
libraries being explored. And you can also find out more about this | :07:19. | :07:29. | |

story on our Political Editor's blog. | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
A Kent businessman accused of trying to export missile parts to a | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
van and takes his fight against extradition to the US to the High | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
Court. -- Iran. A 20-year-old soldier has appeared | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
in court charged with attacking teenager Mohammed Bourner as he | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
walked home from a party in Bexhill. Ashley Dacosta is accused of | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
grievous bodily harm. The incident happened after 15-year-old Mo | :07:53. | :08:03. | |
Bourner attended a beach party at nearby Glyne Gap. | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
Ashley the Costa was brought to court today accused of being | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
responsible for a crime that has been in the headlines now far more | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
than seven weeks. Late on the night of 28th October, Mo Bourner left | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
the beach party. It was alleged he was punched once by the soldier, | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
falling to the ground and hitting his head on a car bonnet. Six days | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
later, he emerged from a coma but could not recognise his parents. | :08:28. | :08:37. | |
Last Thursday evening, the case was on Crimewatch. | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
He is a really lovely boy - kind, such a beautiful young man, looking | :08:43. | :08:51. | |
forward to life. This morning, Ashley de Costa said | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
nothing in court other than confirming his name, age and | :08:53. | :09:02. | |
address. The purpose for today's hearing was not for a pleading of | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
guilty or not guilty but for the magistrate to decide whether it is | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
reasonable for him to remain in custody. His barrister did not ask | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
for him to be released so it remained a foregone conclusion. He | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
will remain in custody until his next appearance in March. | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
A Kent MP has called for an independent review into the case of | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
a man who served 25 years in jail for a gangland shooting he claims | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
he didn't commit. Paul Cleeland, who is 67, was jailed in the 1970s | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
for shooting gangland leader Terry Clark. He was released from prison | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
in 1998. Mr Cleeland's MP, Conservative MP Damian Collins, | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
questioned the reliability of forensic evidence presented at the | :09:42. | :09:52. | |
:09:52. | :09:54. | ||
original trial. It seems obvious to me that they | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
had an unreliable expert witness. There were grave problems with his | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
evidence which will surely cast doubt on every other trial at which | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
he has given evidence. Eurostar passengers planning to | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
travel to Belgium over the next two days will have their plans | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
disrupted because of industrial action. A 24-hour strike is due to | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
start in Belgium tomorrow night, meaning services will start and | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
finish at Lille. There will be a limited coach service to Belgium, | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
but Eurostar says it will allow free ticket exchanges for travel on | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
a different day. Rail passengers in the South East | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
will face average fare rises of up 6% in the New Year - above the rate | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
of inflation, but less than the train companies had wanted. A | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
ticket from Ramsgate to London will actually rise by a fraction over 6%, | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
taking the cost for a standard annual season ticket to �4,640 and | :10:39. | :10:47. | |
for a high-speed season ticket to �5,556. Commuters in Brighton will | :10:47. | :10:54. | |
pay 5.6% more, taking an average season ticket to nearly �3,400. | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
Those travelling to the capital from Folkestone will have an | :10:56. | :11:05. | |
increase a shade under 6%, a �300 rise. | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
Said to be Kent's most expensive season-ticket come the new year. | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
Ramsgate to London on a high-speed train will set you back �5,500 a | :11:14. | :11:21. | |
year. Some people fear this is pressing them off the railway. | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
keeps increasing and we have to stop and think what people's wages | :11:26. | :11:33. | |
are. Wages are not increasing so fares should go down. We're herded | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
on like cattle in the morning and that paying extortionate amounts | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
for it. They're going to push people offered it and back onto the | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
roads and more traffic jams. they would increase their service | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
by 6%, I would be amazed. The train companies are able to increase | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
season and peak ticket by 1% above the inflation rate of 5% recorded | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
back in July. It is appalling for passengers that this new year will | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
bring real hardship for those who will have to find hundreds of | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
pounds extra to pay for their welfare. The train company would | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
not be interviewed today saying they felt the spotlight should be | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
on other a operators to but they thought the taxpayer subsidy for | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
railways was being reduced. The insisted some of their real prices | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
were actually being frozen. understand that it is tough times | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
for many people but the background to this is that the government have, | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
over a number of years, had a policy of shifting the amount of | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
support for the rail industry away from taxpayers and on to passengers. | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
It may be of little comfort but some things could have been worse | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
for commuters. The plan was for an 8% increase until the Chancellor | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
ruled it out in his Autumn Statement. | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
The number of sheep killed in an attack in a farmer's field at | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
Wrotham Hill in Kent has risen to 16. We reported yesterday that 15 | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
had died - many of them were pregnant. It's thought someone | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
drove into the field in a Land Rover and mowed them down. One | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
sheep was taken to a veterinary surgery in Battle last night but | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
had to be put down because of a broken shoulder. The police are | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
continuing with their investigations. | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
A Barnsley football fan who shouted homophobic abuse at Brighton | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
supporters leaving the Amex stadium has been cautioned by police for | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
using threatening words or behaviour. The incident happened | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
after the match on the 6 of November. The 18-year-old man from | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
Bromley was arrested by Metropolitan Police and bailed to | :13:32. | :13:42. | |

An official opening date has been set for the new Jerwood Gallery in | :13:46. | :13:54. | |
Hastings. -- Hastings. It will open on 17th March. The paintings will | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
be on public display for the first time and the gallery is part of a | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
�9 million redevelopment of the old town. | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
A retired Kent businessman accused of trying to export parts for | :14:07. | :14:16. | |
Iranian missiles has appeared in court today. Christopher Tappin | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
claims she always thought he was exporting car batteries to the | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
Netherlands. He could be extradited to the USA. If he wants to prove | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
his innocence, why does he not just go to America and stand trial? | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
He is worried he will not get a fair trial and could spent many | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
years behind bars waiting for a trial. So today was not about | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
proving his innocence but showing why he believes he should not be | :14:43. | :14:49. | |
extradited. Today was just the latest stage in Christopher | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
Tappin's battle against extradition. Legal arguments over the nature of | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
the charges, and the involvement of undercover American agents, will | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
now be considered by High Court judges. Whether the 65-year-old was | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
involved with the illegal export of batteries for use in Iranian | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
missiles is not their concern. Only whether it is right for him to be | :15:13. | :15:20. | |
taken overseas for trial. The last 20 months have been | :15:20. | :15:27. | |
devastating because of the uncertainty. I wish we could get an | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
outcome. Obviously one which would be beneficial to myself. But it is | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
the dragging on process which could go on, and is going on, for a long | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
period of time. The allegations are that he | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
organised shipping papers for hawk missile batteries. In 2010 he was | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
arrested at dawn in his home at Kent. A district judge rejected his | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
case earlier in the year that extradition should be blocked. The | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
legal team today argued that he had been the victim of a trap. They | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
claim that the company who asked him to ship the batteries and | :16:06. | :16:13. | |
claimed they were for the Dutch car industry was a fake one, set up by | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
American customs. Mr Taplin says he would gladly face trial but with | :16:18. | :16:24. | |
all the witnesses based here this country is the only fair location | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
for that trial. He will be waiting until the New Year at least. But | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
the Americans are determined he should face trial in the United | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
States. They say that the alleged offences broke their laws. If he | :16:38. | :16:46. | |
does go and is found guilty he could face up to 35 years in jail. | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
Our top story: more cuts have been announced by Kent County Council. | :16:51. | :16:57. | |

This time last year, Kent teenager across Wilson was a keen table- | :17:45. | :17:51. | |
tennis player who had a most -- mystery medical condition. The | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
diagnosis of a rare genetic disorder was a blow. But now he is | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
eligible to join the Paralympic squad and now the 16-year-old is on | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
course for a place at London 2012. For years he struggled to play the | :18:06. | :18:12. | |
game he loves before being diagnosed with M e d, a genetic | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
condition which limits his movements. But he now trains and | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
plays full-time with the UK Paralympic squad. | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
I never trained and played as much as I did until I joined the | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
Paralympic team. It has been a brilliant experience. | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
He hopes to emulate another outstanding Kent youngster who | :18:36. | :18:43. | |
played in the Beijing Paralympics. He has a great passion for the game. | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
He talks about the sport all the time, watches videos, plays as much | :18:48. | :18:54. | |
as he can. It is a passion he has had for years. It would be amazing | :18:54. | :19:01. | |
if he got to 2012. He now trains five days per week, | :19:01. | :19:07. | |
six hours per day. His remarkable progress includes a silver medal at | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
the European Championships. This time last year, where was he? | :19:13. | :19:20. | |
Now he is ranked No. 8 in the world. I wish him all the best. | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
Ross will find out in May if he has made the squad and is already | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
thinking about 2016. But he knows that could be in jeopardy if his | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
condition deteriorates. I could get kicked out of the squad | :19:34. | :19:44. | |
:19:44. | :19:53. | ||
or never make it to 2016. So it be He is one of Britain's most | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
successful portrait photographers. He has taken shots of rich and | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
powerful figures from Richard Branson to Margaret Thatcher. Now | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
two of his pictures have been bought by the National Portrait | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
Gallery. Our reporter went to meet Mark Harrison in his Tunbridge | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
Wells studio. He has photographed them all. | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
Before I take a picture of anybody I have a quick look on line and see | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
what has already been done. Then I try to find another angle which | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
gives us a little more in sight. I like my pictures of Richard Branson. | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
We managed to crack it. Getting a subject to relax and drop | :20:36. | :20:44. | |
their guard is not always easy. Some subjects are very difficult. | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
Very charming, but very difficult. It was almost as if Al Gore had | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
been briefed by the CIA not to give everything away. I tried everything | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
including meaning across and grabbing his shoulders but he just | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
would not give anything away. So that is one where maybe I did not | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
succeed. His latest project focuses on those | :21:08. | :21:18. | |
:21:18. | :21:18. | ||
who have been awarded distinguished medals by the array F. | :21:18. | :21:28. | |

When you normally think of new born lambs it is normally springtime. | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
But for a charity in Maidstone it has been different. Just yesterday, | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
Dandeliom Time had an unexpected and early Christmas delivery. Meet | :22:14. | :22:21. | |
Rudolf the lamb. Just 24 hours old. She surprised her owners by being | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
born before Christmas. An unexpected arrival which has | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
delighted everybody who works at the Dandeliom Time charity. | :22:31. | :22:41. | |
:22:41. | :22:42. | ||
This is very rare. They are normally born in the spring. It is | :22:42. | :22:49. | |
a lovely surprise. They thought the alarm was may also | :22:49. | :22:56. | |
called it Rudolf but on closer inspection, she is female. But they | :22:56. | :23:06. | |
:23:06. | :23:08. | ||
decided to stick with the name. She is a hit with the youngsters. | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
Without her white and black she looks like he's a bra. She is cute | :23:12. | :23:22. | |
:23:22. | :23:32. | ||
and fantastic. -- with white and black, she looks like a zebra. | :23:32. | :23:42. | |

I stroked her father. It feels soft. -- fur. | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
Staying with cute animals, there is just six days to go until Christmas | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
Day and you're probably itching to rip open present. You are not the | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
only ones. Look at these capuchin monkeys at Port Lympne Wild Animal | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
Park. They were given their own presence, wrap top boxes of | :24:04. | :24:12. | |
bandanas and nuts. What a commotion! The head keeper says it | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
is not only a special treat for them, but it also helps keep their | :24:17. | :24:27. | |
:24:27. | :24:31. | ||
And now the weather. Good evening. A crisp December day. Staying dry | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
with decent spells of sunshine. Further rain on the way this | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
evening. A wet but mild start tomorrow. The rain will eventually | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
clear and it will be a dry afternoon but it will state dull. | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
Low-pressure still in control. Fairly breezy for us all. The | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
clouds have been beckoning ahead of a warm front which we will see | :24:58. | :25:08. | |
:25:08. | :25:13. | ||
tonight. -- thickening. A slightly chilly feel to the weather. Rain | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
slowly spreading east winds mean a damp night. Temperatures however | :25:19. | :25:27. | |
average, ranging between three and six degrees. The rain will linger | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
until tomorrow morning but eventually cleared and leave behind | :25:31. | :25:38. | |
cloud. Wind from a north-westerly direction around 50 mph. What is | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
notable is that tomorrow's temperatures will be in double | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
figures. To put that into context, normal for the time of year is | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
around eight Celsius. And last year we did not get up a bar of one | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
Celsius very often. So the weather is certainly mile for the time of | :26:00. | :26:09. | |
year. It will continue as we move and to tomorrow night. It will stay | :26:09. | :26:17. | |
mild and cloudy for Thursday. Particularly into the afternoon. | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
Temperatures still in double figures. There will be a change as | :26:22. | :26:29. | |
we move into Friday. A cold front will spread eastwards. Behind that, | :26:29. | :26:38. | |
the air will be cooler. By the time of the Christmas weekend | :26:38. | :26:48. | |
:26:48. | :26:57. | ||
temperatures will be noticeably Chile again. -- child. -- chilly. A | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
