:00:08. > :00:10.Welcome to South East Today. Tonight's top stories.

:00:10. > :00:20.A week to improve services - the new Tunbridge Wells Hospital is

:00:20. > :00:24.warned over the standard of patient care in Accident and Emergency.

:00:24. > :00:26.We'll be speaking live to the area's MP, Greg Clark.

:00:26. > :00:32.Sex offenders are being freed from Maidstone Prison without effective

:00:32. > :00:35.treatment for their behaviour, says the Chief Inspector of Prisons.

:00:35. > :00:39.Also in tonight's programme: Hundreds turn out for the funeral

:00:39. > :00:43.of Canterbury musician Hugo Wenn, who drowned last month.

:00:43. > :00:47.It's controversial, but what would the benefits be? We take a look at

:00:47. > :00:57.the business case for Boris Island. And the Eastbourne man who took up

:00:57. > :01:00.

:01:00. > :01:02.painting in his retirement - in grand style.

:01:03. > :01:05.Good evening. Kent's newest, state- of-the-art hospital isn't meeting

:01:05. > :01:10.essential standards of patient care in its Accident and Emergency

:01:10. > :01:14.department. That's the view of the independent regulator, the Care

:01:14. > :01:16.Quality Commission. It carried out an unannounced inspection of the

:01:16. > :01:21.Tunbridge Wells Hospital at Pembury and found patients left on trolleys

:01:21. > :01:25.due to lack of beds and inadequate staffing levels. It's been told

:01:25. > :01:33.that if it does not make immediate changes, it will face censure.

:01:33. > :01:38.Katherine Downes reports. Margaret has to walk with the flame

:01:38. > :01:47.now, she kept herself in a fall last November and was taken to

:01:47. > :01:53.Pembrey for treatment. They took me into a at side room and I lay there,

:01:53. > :02:00.still on the trolley, from 5 o'clock tea time until 3 o'clock in

:02:00. > :02:07.the morning before they even put me into a bed. I was in terrible pain

:02:07. > :02:12.but they did not give me a drink or anything to eat. Margaret was not

:02:12. > :02:15.the only patient to suffer in the hospital. The care quality

:02:15. > :02:22.commission inspectors in January found serious problems in accident

:02:22. > :02:27.and emergency. We found people were waiting far too long for care. Some

:02:27. > :02:31.needed to be Tricia and urgently and that was not the case. --

:02:31. > :02:35.treated urgently. They did not have sufficient staff to cope with the

:02:35. > :02:41.numbers of people coming through their doors. Since that visit the

:02:41. > :02:44.hospital say they have made immediate changes. We have been

:02:44. > :02:51.working hard to enforce more nurses and doctors and help improve

:02:51. > :02:54.patient care. Why was that not in place to start with? We had more

:02:54. > :03:04.patience than we expected coming through the doors which has been a

:03:04. > :03:05.

:03:05. > :03:09.problem. We have to increase staff more than anticipated. Now more

:03:09. > :03:13.staff are called in at busy times and patience are reviewed every two

:03:13. > :03:17.are us to try to minimise the time they spend in accident and

:03:17. > :03:20.emergency. The Trust have been told that if they do not act quickly

:03:21. > :03:23.then action will be taken against them.

:03:23. > :03:26.So what exactly is the Care Quality Commission? It's an independent

:03:26. > :03:29.regulator set up to check whether hospitals, care homes and care

:03:29. > :03:31.services are meeting government standards of quality and safety.

:03:31. > :03:33.They make unannounced inspections and when standards aren't being met

:03:33. > :03:41.they can issue fines, stop admissions and, in the worst cases,

:03:41. > :03:42.suspend or cancel a care service's registration. At the Tunbridge

:03:42. > :03:47.Wells Hospital in Pembury, inspectors found patients visiting

:03:47. > :03:49.A and E had to wait "far too long for attention". They found the unit

:03:49. > :03:55.appeared to be understaffed and were told doctors and nurses

:03:55. > :03:57."struggled on busy days" to treat patients properly. And on the day

:03:57. > :04:04.inspectors visited, three ambulance crews were waiting in a corridor,

:04:04. > :04:09.as there were no beds for their patients in the major injury unit.

:04:09. > :04:14.What did patience there today think of the service go smack the service

:04:14. > :04:19.is excellent, the ladies are very nice and service was brilliant.

:04:19. > :04:24.think it has been fine, she is quite happy but just a bit bored

:04:24. > :04:31.sitting there. I think the staff are good and helpful. No problem

:04:31. > :04:33.with waiting times? It was efficient for stock --. We are

:04:33. > :04:42.joined live now from Westminster by Greg Clark the Conservative MP for

:04:42. > :04:45.Tunbridge Wells. This is a brand new hospital, what is your reaction

:04:45. > :04:50.to the news that accident and emergency is failing to provide

:04:50. > :04:54.adequate care? Well it is disappointing, we have one of the

:04:54. > :04:59.finest hospitals in the country and we need the best organisation in

:04:59. > :05:04.the country. It is not acceptable that people should be kept waiting

:05:04. > :05:09.even for four hours, which is the standard. But to be kept waiting

:05:09. > :05:13.longer than that if you are in pain is not good enough. This programme

:05:13. > :05:17.first reported problems with staffing back in October so why has

:05:17. > :05:23.it taken so long for anything to be done? That is a good question and

:05:23. > :05:29.it goes beyond that because one of the problems over the years we have

:05:29. > :05:33.had has been long waiting times in accident and emergency. And it is

:05:33. > :05:39.disappointing that a problem that happened before has been imported

:05:39. > :05:42.into the new hospital. I think the management needs to get a grip of

:05:42. > :05:46.it and we need to have the standard of organisation that matches the

:05:46. > :05:51.standard of facilities that we have. But does it come down to money

:05:51. > :05:57.because the Trust said that it remained under cash pressures duty

:05:57. > :06:01.-- due to the impact of additional costs. It is completely

:06:01. > :06:08.unacceptable to keep people waiting in accident and emergency, people

:06:08. > :06:13.in pain, in a state of anxiety and stress. If there's one thing a

:06:13. > :06:16.hospital least to do it is to treat people who coming in an emergency

:06:16. > :06:21.efficiently and well. So that is not acceptable. If the management

:06:21. > :06:25.think they cannot afford to provide a decent standard of care they

:06:25. > :06:29.should come and talk to me and fellow MPs and we will see the

:06:29. > :06:34.health secretary to get to the bottom of that. They have not said

:06:34. > :06:38.that to me so I can only assume it is a matter of organisation. Will

:06:38. > :06:42.you be seeing their health secretary about this the Ismat

:06:42. > :06:47.Ogilby visiting the management of the hospital. I spoke yesterday to

:06:47. > :06:50.the chief-executive and he assured me that steps were in place and the

:06:50. > :06:56.situation was much better than in January. He mentioned that people

:06:56. > :07:00.would be a check every two hours but I think they should see someone

:07:00. > :07:08.murdered retrained every hour if they are kept waiting to make sure

:07:08. > :07:14.that they are not deteriorating and are being given some sustenance.

:07:14. > :07:20.Because even for hours, I do not find that acceptable. It needs to

:07:20. > :07:25.improve quickly. The care Equality Commission today said they would be

:07:25. > :07:26.making further spot checks of the hospital in the near future for.

:07:26. > :07:29.Maidstone Prison has been criticised for significant

:07:29. > :07:31.shortcomings in the way it deals with sex offenders. The Chief

:07:31. > :07:35.Inspector of Prisons says sex offenders are being released from

:07:35. > :07:42.the jail without their behaviour being "effectively challenged." Our

:07:42. > :07:46.Home Affairs Correspondent Colin Campbell has the story.

:07:46. > :07:50.Maidstone prison is a specialist centre for sex offenders. The

:07:50. > :07:54.report today reveals that owns an unacceptably limited number of

:07:54. > :08:00.treatment places available to inmates here with around 100

:08:00. > :08:06.waiting to participate in treatment programmes. You're dealing with a

:08:06. > :08:09.group that are very dangerous and hard to deal with. But the very

:08:09. > :08:13.fact that they're not going through that programme and are being

:08:13. > :08:17.released on the street, that concerns me greatly because part of

:08:17. > :08:24.that programme is risk assessment, whether they're line will to

:08:24. > :08:27.reoffend. -- liable. The Chief Inspector of Prisons said in his

:08:27. > :08:31.report that too many prisoners were being released back into the

:08:31. > :08:35.community without their behaviour been effectively Challenge. He said

:08:35. > :08:40.or wrote sex offender programmes are not a panacea The Doog at least

:08:40. > :08:43.reduce the risk that an individual will reoffend and this shortage was

:08:43. > :08:49.as significant concern for stock it is extremely disappointing to hear

:08:49. > :08:55.this because these courses are the first point of contact in actually

:08:55. > :08:59.challenging the sex offender's thought patterns and behaviour. Dr

:09:00. > :09:02.Clare was brutally raped in 2007, her attacker had been released from

:09:03. > :09:08.prison the day before and had taken part into treatment programmes

:09:08. > :09:15.whilst in jail. I think other programmes which to Challenge their

:09:15. > :09:18.behaviour or to be considered, such as those offered by mediation

:09:18. > :09:23.services concerning restorative justice were the victim has the

:09:23. > :09:27.chance to meet the offender. Housing almost 500 sex offenders,

:09:27. > :09:31.officials say they plan to provide more treatment programmes at

:09:31. > :09:37.Maidstone next year. Although criticised, the prison was also

:09:37. > :09:45.praised for its innovative work with challenging the offenders will

:09:45. > :09:50.stop -- with challenging offenders. Coming up, or why the Conservatives

:09:50. > :09:55.and party -- and Labour Party could team up in Brighton to stop the

:09:55. > :09:57.Green Party raising council tax. Hundreds of people have attended

:09:57. > :10:02.the funeral of Hugo Wenn, the 17- year-old who drowned last month in

:10:02. > :10:05.a pond in Canterbury. His was one of two bodies discovered in the

:10:05. > :10:11.water. The police investigation is continuing. Today Hugo's parents

:10:11. > :10:17.said their hearts were broken. Simon Jones reports.

:10:17. > :10:23.So many wanted to say farewell that they spilled out of the Church.

:10:23. > :10:29.Described by his parents as a boy he enjoyed every waking moment.

:10:29. > :10:35.amazing person, you never saw him without a smile on his face. Just

:10:35. > :10:40.an incredible person who influenced everyone. It breaks my heart. I

:10:40. > :10:47.miss him a lot. He was a dear friend of mine and everyone is

:10:47. > :10:52.going to miss him. I have been crying since 7 o'clock this morning.

:10:52. > :10:57.The body if you go was found in his pond along with fellow musician

:10:57. > :11:01.Daniel Lloyd. Two families left devastated. Our Hearts are broken

:11:01. > :11:06.it and our lives have changed for ever. Memories of Hugo will remain

:11:06. > :11:10.with us always. You go's parents made a point during the service of

:11:10. > :11:14.venting the police for the way they handled the investigation into the

:11:14. > :11:21.death of their son. An investigation that is very much on

:11:21. > :11:24.going. Police are awaiting the results of toxicology tests. At 28

:11:24. > :11:34.year-old arrested on suspicion of supplying controlled drugs is on

:11:34. > :11:35.

:11:35. > :11:39.police bail. The funeral of Daniel Lloyd will take place on Saturday.

:11:39. > :11:44.He was a well-known busker in Canterbury. A lot of the buskers

:11:44. > :11:49.are going to put together a commemorative album to remember in

:11:49. > :11:52.that way. A celebration of lives cut short.

:11:52. > :11:55.An elderly woman has died in a house fire in Herstmonceux in East

:11:55. > :11:59.Sussex. Firefighters were called to the lady's home around two o'clock

:11:59. > :12:02.yesterday afternoon. She was rescued, but died at the scene in

:12:02. > :12:12.West End. The cause of the fire is being investigated but is not

:12:12. > :12:12.

:12:12. > :12:14.thought to be suspicious. After months of wrangling,

:12:14. > :12:17.councillors have been gathering in Brighton this evening for what's

:12:17. > :12:19.turning out to be one of the most controversial budget meetings in

:12:19. > :12:22.the south-east in years. They're about to decide whether Brighton

:12:22. > :12:32.and Hove will be the only major council to increase tax this year.

:12:32. > :12:32.

:12:32. > :13:13.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 41 seconds

:13:13. > :13:16.John Young is at the Town Hall now. other county council or unitary

:13:16. > :13:18.authority in the south-east has decided to avoid raising council

:13:18. > :13:25.tax by accepting �3 million from the government. Why don't the Green

:13:25. > :13:30.party in Brighton and Hove want take up this offer? That is right,

:13:30. > :13:35.many councils are expected to do just that. But the council here say

:13:35. > :13:41.that it is a poisoned chalice. If you have 3 billion this year then

:13:41. > :13:45.you will not have it next year and that will make for UN prudent

:13:45. > :13:54.budgeting. But the Greens have the problem that they are a minority.

:13:54. > :13:57.If the Tory and Labour parties gang up then it will not go through.

:13:57. > :13:59.In the next 24 hours or so, Kent businessman Christopher Tappin will

:13:59. > :14:01.be landing in Texas after failing in his efforts to avoid extradition.

:14:01. > :14:03.He's accused by American prosecutors of conspiring to export

:14:03. > :14:13.batteries for use in Iranian missiles. If he's found guilty he

:14:13. > :14:15.

:14:15. > :14:19.could spend up to 35 years in prison. Sara Smith reports.

:14:19. > :14:23.Tonight could be Christopher's last night at home for a long time.

:14:23. > :14:30.Talking to me last week he told me of his fears as his extradition

:14:30. > :14:36.fight ended in failure. I'm 65 now into the fire was to serve 35 years

:14:36. > :14:41.I would be 100 years old by the time I come back. They're not too

:14:41. > :14:46.many people reach 100. You have to be philosophical about that kind of

:14:46. > :14:50.thing. I may never come back to my own country again. A shipping agent

:14:50. > :14:53.before retirement, he is accused of helping organise the import of

:14:53. > :14:58.batteries to Holland. He said he thought they were for the car

:14:58. > :15:02.industry. The American agents who set up a sting operation say he

:15:02. > :15:07.knew this was their actual destination - Iran, where there

:15:08. > :15:11.would be used for arms. He will now have to face the charges in an

:15:11. > :15:16.American court. Tomorrow morning he is to report to the police station

:15:16. > :15:22.at Heathrow and will be taken by US air marshals on a scheduled flight

:15:22. > :15:27.to Texas. Once there he will go to prison until a bail hearing. It is

:15:27. > :15:32.a process David Birmingham knows all about. He spent seven months in

:15:32. > :15:42.an American prison after the collapse of Enron. One of the

:15:42. > :15:43.

:15:43. > :15:47.problems with the American justice system is it is enormously

:15:47. > :15:52.difficult because there is disproportionate are deep in the

:15:52. > :15:55.sentencing between a plea bargain and losing a child. Christopher

:15:55. > :16:04.fought extradition through the British courts, now it is the Texan

:16:04. > :16:10.courts which will decide his fate. I am joined by John cats, and

:16:10. > :16:14.extradition lawyer based in America. Went Christopher reaches taxes he

:16:14. > :16:20.will be held in custody. Is there any realistic possibility that he

:16:20. > :16:24.will be bailed? Well the judge may say he has to stay in the western

:16:24. > :16:32.district of taxes but we have GPS to raunchy to make sure he does not

:16:32. > :16:38.clean. -- technology. That would be part of my apartment to the judge

:16:38. > :16:42.to get their will. Well we heard in the report from David Birmingham

:16:42. > :16:46.who has been through the extradition process himself. He

:16:46. > :16:51.says most people are pressured into making a plea bargain rather than

:16:51. > :16:57.spend years waiting for trial. Is that likely in this case can smack

:16:57. > :17:03.there will be a police officer and efforts to see if he wants to make

:17:03. > :17:09.a plea bargain. But he has took co- defendants who have already been

:17:09. > :17:12.convicted and they did not get terrible sentences. I do not know

:17:12. > :17:17.where he is in the playing field compared to them that that could be

:17:17. > :17:23.used as leverage in the plea- bargaining process. One of the

:17:23. > :17:28.defendants and think got two year sentence through a plea-bargain.

:17:28. > :17:33.The other pleaded not guilty and got community service. And just to

:17:33. > :17:38.put this in a wider context, there has been anger in his country about

:17:39. > :17:43.the extradition rules to America, it is seen as one-sided. I don't

:17:43. > :17:48.know if many people in America are following it, but I have been

:17:48. > :17:56.following the story and think it is a manufactured situation, it was

:17:56. > :18:00.all fake, prepared by the FBI. It is a waste of American resources

:18:00. > :18:05.and financial resources and a waste of America has no good will with

:18:05. > :18:07.the UK. A PE teacher has been jailed for 16

:18:07. > :18:12.months for sending sexually explicit texts and messages online

:18:12. > :18:14.to two teenage girls. 29-year-old Joe Cornwall, who taught at Angley

:18:15. > :18:19.School in Cranbrook, has also been banned for life from working with

:18:19. > :18:26.children. Alex Beard joins us from outside the school now. Alex, the

:18:26. > :18:30.judge was quite damning in sentencing.

:18:30. > :18:35.Well he rejected the key to impose a community order or suspended

:18:35. > :18:39.sentence because the judge believed that Joe Cornwall had unresolved

:18:39. > :18:45.motivations for his sexual activity. Cornwall was a 29 year-old Peter

:18:45. > :18:50.ejit who worked at the school in Cambrook. Into a dozen the 9th he

:18:50. > :18:54.made Facebook messages and text messages with the 16 year-old girl.

:18:55. > :18:58.Those messages became more and more explicit over time but he never

:18:58. > :19:02.match that girl nor the other 16 year-old girl whom he shared text

:19:02. > :19:07.messages with. He admitted three charges of causing Oran citing a

:19:07. > :19:11.child to engage in sexual activity by a person in a position of Trust

:19:11. > :19:16.over a period of 14 months. Today in court he was sentenced to 16

:19:16. > :19:23.months in jail, 10 years on the sex offenders' register and banned from

:19:23. > :19:28.working with children for life. Our top story tonight: The newest

:19:28. > :19:33.hospital in Kent has been given a week to improve care in its

:19:33. > :19:36.accident and emergency department. An inspection of by the care

:19:36. > :19:42.Equality Commission found breaches in the standards of patient care.

:19:42. > :19:45.Also in tonight's programme: He only took up painting when he

:19:46. > :19:52.retired, now he is working his way through all the greats.

:19:52. > :19:54.And how long it will the warm spell last?

:19:54. > :19:59.Local MPs met the Transport Secretary today to voice their

:19:59. > :20:01.concerns over plans for a new airport in the South East. They

:20:01. > :20:06.include an airport on the Isle of Grain, expansion of existing

:20:06. > :20:08.airports, and a new airport in the Thames Estuary, dubbed Boris Island.

:20:08. > :20:11.A feasibilty study for Boris Island says 540,000 extra flights will be

:20:11. > :20:21.needed in the South East, even if more runways are added at Gatwick

:20:21. > :20:23.and Heathrow. That equates to 70 million passenger journeys a year.

:20:23. > :20:27.A new four runway hub airport could handle around 150 million

:20:27. > :20:31.passengers a year. Last week we reported on the campaign against

:20:31. > :20:39.the airport. Tonight, our Business Correspondent Mark Norman looks at

:20:39. > :20:43.some the economic arguments in favour.

:20:43. > :20:47.They are making industrial fibre glass prow that's at his factory in

:20:47. > :20:52.Medway. They hoped to expand internationally and take on more

:20:52. > :20:55.staff. So the directors to understand the environment will

:20:55. > :21:00.sensitivities but they also understand the argument for a new

:21:00. > :21:04.airport. If you look at the Thames Valley and how the infrastructure

:21:04. > :21:08.has grown and how businesses have developed in that area because

:21:08. > :21:12.there close to an international airport, and then you look at North

:21:12. > :21:20.Kent, there is a case to be answered. And that view is echoed

:21:20. > :21:28.by others in the business it -- the business community. There's huge

:21:28. > :21:32.discussion over a third river crossing and also we need road,

:21:32. > :21:41.rail and airport infrastructure. Feasibility studies have already

:21:41. > :21:46.been done for the so-called Boris Ireland. Behind me some of the
