Welcome to South East Today, I'm Natalie Graham. And I'm Rob Smith. | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
Tonight's top stories: What do the plans for airport expansion in the | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
South East mean for you? A huge new airport off the Kent coast is still | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
on the table as the commisshon on the table as the commission | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
reveals its proposals. We h`ve on the table as the commisshon | :00:26. | :00:26. | |
reveals its proposals. We h`ve the chance to make our case and we can | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
argue the costs and the environmental impacts. Most people | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
cannot believe they are even thinking about it. It is a beautiful | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
close to live. And Gatwick is on the short list | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
with plans for a second runway south of the existing one. We'll be | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
getting the latest reaction from our reporters live at Gatwick, the Isle | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
of Grain and Westminster. Also in tonight's programme: A | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
dubious honour for K Collegd ` it's become the first in the country to | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
be stripped of some powers hn a new government crackdown. | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
A message from Muamba ` he tells the Albion's youth squad to start | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
looking for a career outsidd football. | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
And the uplifting story of the 91`year`old woman who goes to the | :01:01. | :01:19. | |
gym three times a week. Good evening. People who live in | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
North Kent and near Gatwick Airport face the possibility of years of | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
disruption and protest with both sites under consideration as the | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
government looks to expand airport capacity. The independent commission | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
investigating additional runways in the South East has short`listed | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
Gatwick for expansion, leaving the door open for a huge new hub airport | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
on the Isle of Grain. In a moment we'll hear reaction from Gatwick, | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
but first, let's cross to our environment correspondent Yvette | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
Austin, on the Isle of Grain. What is the feeling there tonight? | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
You can see behind me the Grade I listed Norman church. | :01:59. | :01:59. | |
If the airport plans for the Isle listed Norman church. | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
If the airport plans for thd Isle of If the airport plans for the Isle of | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
Grain are given the go`ahead, it would have to be moved. A question | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
mark hangs over the graveyard and 2,000 residents would have to leave. | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
They thought they would havd learned They thought they would have learned | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
today what lies ahead, but instead the uncertainty continues. Boris | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
Island may be scrapped, but world renowned architect Lord Foster's | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
plan is still in the frame. If a new airport is to be built, | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
plan is still in the frame. If a new airport is to be btilt it | :02:24. | :02:23. | |
If a new airport is to be built, it will be built here on the Isle of | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
Grain. It is not on the short list, but neither is Norman Foster 's plan | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
for aid for we runway hub being ruled out. The costs are very high | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
and the environmental obstacles are difficult to rule out, but on the | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
other hand we have not been able at this point to satisfy ourselves that | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
they cannot be overcome or that the costs may be justified if you think | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
about the general `` benefits. We have a chance to make our case | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
and we can argue about the costs and the environmental impacts. People | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
can weigh up both options. If you can weigh up both options. If you | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
want a hot airport you eithdr got can weigh up both options. Hf you | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
want a hot airport you eithdr got to Heathrow or the new solution. | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
Original estimates put Norman Foster's plan at ?50 billion | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
although he said it would bd less. It can handle 150 million passengers | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
It can handle 150 million p`ssengers each year with high`speed rail | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
It can handle 150 million passengers each year with high`speed r`il links | :03:21. | :03:20. | |
each year with high`speed rail links capable of carrying 300 passengers | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
each day. Local residents tonight had this to say... | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
It will cost them a lot of money had this to say... | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
It will cost them a lot of loney to move the gasworks apart from the | :03:32. | :03:32. | |
move the gasworks apart frol the houses. There is a lot of industry | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
that they will have to do away with. If they were going to do it, they | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
would have done it by now. There are a lot of jobs possibly. Most people | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
cannot believe they are even thinking about it. It is a beautiful | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
place to live. The environmdnt, the boards, everything. | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
But others say it would regenerate the area, bringing jobs and | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
prosperity. A hub airport in North Kent would bring untold benefits | :04:05. | :04:05. | |
prosperity. A hub airport in North Kent would bring untold bendfits for | :04:06. | :04:05. | |
Kent would bring untold benefits for up to 500,000 people when it is | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
built in a few years time. The fact is we desperately need it. The | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
campaign on both sides will continue. Residents will hope for an | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
early decision next year. So next year more studies will be | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
done to establish whether Lord Foster's plan as a credible one to | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
be included in the short list will stop that should be done by next | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
autumn and will not delay the publishing of the final report due | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
after the next general election So while there's still uncertainty | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
over whether a hub airport on the Isle of Grain will make the | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
commission's short`list, a second runway at Gatwick Airport has | :04:43. | :04:43. | |
commission's short`list, a second runway at Gatwick Airport h`s been | :04:44. | :04:44. | |
runway at Gatwick Airport has been confirmed as one of the proposals | :04:45. | :04:45. | |
being considered. Our business being considered. Our busindss | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
correspondent Mark Norman's at Gatwick Airport. Mark, bossds there | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
Gatwick Airport. Mark, bosses there must be pleased. | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
Yes, but let's remind ourselves why we're here. Howard Davies has | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
accepted the prediction that passenger numbers will double by | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
2050, meaning airports like Gatwick be full by 2030. So he has to find a | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
solution and Gatwick believe that solution is a second runway here. | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
Now that they have made the short`list, one of the directors | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
here told me today that the prospect of a second runway here now feels | :05:19. | :05:28. | |
real. For the bosses of Gatwick this is | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
good news. They have made it onto the short list and while respecting | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
an agreement is not to build a new runway before 2019, the airport | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
believe they can provide the additional runway capacity that Sir | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
Howard says we need. We would love to be constructing in the e`rly part | :05:45. | :05:54. | |
of 2020. This is how a second runway might look. A futuristic vision and | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
beyond. Opponents living next to any second runway do not share that | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
vision. We are going to have second runway do not share that | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
vision. We are going to havd 30 to vision. We are going to have 30 to | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
40,000 new people moving into a new area with new homes required, | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
schools, education, doctors and a hospital. It will all be horribly | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
congested and people do not want that. On the line lime green where | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
homes and businesses will only be metres from a second runway, Opinium | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
and ends next. At the moment it is not good because they will have to | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
get rid of some of the housds and get rid of some of the houses and | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
for the residents it will not be good. There should be a second | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
runway at Gatwick. What would it do for the town? It would do a lot for | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
the town and the whole of Crawley. It could bring more people hnto the | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
It could bring more people into the town but it will come over towards | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
my direction, so if it affects me I will say no. Any second runway would | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
impact businesses on the county's largest industrial estate, but many | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
companies you're relying on the Crooks Eto'o to the airport. I | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
believe that if things happdn, it would be nice to see them happen | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
would be nice to see them h`ppen quicker, perhaps rather than waiting | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
five or ten years. The airport needs to be expanded. The airport's | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
commission will do more work on all the options before delivering water | :07:23. | :07:23. | |
Howard Davies' disgrace as a robust Howard Davies' disgrace as ` robust | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
final recommendation to government and the summer of 2015. Of course, | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
Gatwick wants to be that robust recommendation. Local MP Henry Smith | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
said he will continue to talk to the airport about mitigating ag`inst | :07:41. | :07:41. | |
said he will continue to talk to the airport about mitigating against any | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
impact any second runway will have on the tone of Crawley. | :07:45. | :07:45. | |
So, we know there could be ` on the tone of Crawley. | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
So, we know there could be a second So, we know there could be ` second | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
runway at Gatwick or a brand`new airport in North Kent, but ` number | :07:50. | :07:50. | |
airport in North Kent, but a number of other options have now bden | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
of other options have now been definitely ruled out. The so`called | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
"Boris Island" proposal, for a floating airport in the Thales | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
Estuary off North Kent, has sunk without a trace. It was judged to be | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
too complex and too expensive to be viable. And there's no placd | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
too complex and too expensive to be viable. And there's no place on the | :08:06. | :08:05. | |
viable. And there's no placd on the Davies Commission short`list for | :08:06. | :08:06. | |
Lydd Airport near Folkestond, or Davies Commission short`list for | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
Lydd Airport near Folkestone, or for Lydd Airport near Folkestond, or for | :08:09. | :08:08. | |
Manston Airport in Thanet. That's Manston Airport in Thanet. That's | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
disappointed those campaigners fighting for the expansion of our | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
smaller regional airports. We are talking about a much growing | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
market, we are looking at a doubling the number of the passenger journeys | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
in the United Kingdom over the next few decades and the role for | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
additional capacity and specialist capacity. Manston Airport is the | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
fourth`largest freighter airport in the UK so we are already thd filling | :08:41. | :08:41. | |
the UK so we are already the filling parts of this role. | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
Our political dditor Louise Stewart joins us from Westminster. Louise, | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
this review will do nothing to end the huge political row over airport | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
expansion. Absolutely not. We have no clear way forward today and | :08:57. | :08:57. | |
no clear way forward today `nd people may be disappointed by that. | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
Sir Howard Davies looked at seven options in the Thames Estuary. He | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
has come forward with one option at Gatwick of another runway and an | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
option looking at two kings of expansion at Heathrow. He has | :09:13. | :09:13. | |
option looking at two kings of expansion at Heathrow. He h`s not | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
expansion at Heathrow. He has not ruled out a new hub airport on the | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
Isle of Grain, but it has to be said, it looks like an outside | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
option because it is much more expensive than the other proposals. | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
He will not rule on that until next year. | :09:28. | :09:35. | |
It will be a long`time before any runways are actually built? | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
Absolutely, even if they were to get the go`ahead, Gatwick could not | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
start building until 2019 anyway. What has happened today is still | :09:44. | :09:51. | |
uncertainty for those living in Kent and Sussex but as for the politics, | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
politicians have welcomed this report with the Lib Dems against | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
politicians have welcomed this report with the Lib Dems ag`inst the | :09:59. | :09:58. | |

of direct control of its st`ffing of direct control of its st`ffing | :10:57. | :10:59. | |

administered college status with immediate effect. It's the first | :11:06. | :11:06. | |
college in the country to bd immediate effect. It's the first | :11:07. | :11:08. | |

comes after it was rated inadequate comes after it was rated in`dequate | :11:10. | :11:20. | |

financial meltdown running up debts of ?16 million with its fivd | :11:25. | :11:26. | |
of ?16 million with its five campuses set to be broken up. | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
Obviously it is bad but as long as I get my degree that is all I care | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
about. If I go out to the workplace and I cannot find a job bec`use I | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
have not been taught properly `` then I will have a problem. The | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
classes are too bed and there is only one teacher. Other people need | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
help at times, it is unbelievable. Ofsted found the college had easily | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
suffered from the net managdment and suffered from the net managdment and | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
uncertainty over the future existence of the college is severely | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
affecting the experience of learners. Teaching, learning and | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
assessment are deemed inadepuate. The government has concluded that it | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
does not believe the existence governments as the capacity and | :12:15. | :12:17. | |

that changes are urgently ndeded. We that changes are urgently ndeded. We | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
have put K College into a administered status which means that | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
we are taking a direct grip on it from Westminster in order to turn it | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
around. Despite protests last year, 160 staff have been made redundant | :12:34. | :12:38. | |

details. Fabrice Muamba is the footb`ller who | :16:47. | :16:46. | |
Fabrice Muamba is the footballer who came back from the dead. For 75 | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
minutes paramedics fought to revive him on the pitch after he suffered a | :16:50. | :16:51. | |
him on the pitch after he stffered a cardiac arrest. Today he was | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
speaking with young players at Brighton and Hove Albion's | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
development squad, offering them an insight into planning for a life | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
away from football, whether they make it as a professional or not. | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
Neil Bell has tonight's special report. This was the first time | :17:06. | :17:15. | |
Fabrice Muamba had touched the ball and months. Less than two years ago | :17:16. | :17:17. | |
and months. Less than two ydars ago he was a Premier League regular and | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
he was a Premier League regtlar and then out of the blue his career was | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
over. All of a sudden I heard this bank. I had heart failure. He | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
suffered a massive heart attack during an FA Cup tie at Tottenham | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
Hotspur. He admits proper attention and some luck saved his life. After | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
months of treatment, him made an emotional farewell to the game he | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
loved and now hopes to perstade younger players to think about a | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
light John Souttar ball. I'd enjoy speaking to younger players because | :17:54. | :18:00. | |
when I came to England I did not know how to speak to people and let | :18:01. | :18:02. | |
them know that they can do lore know how to speak to people and let | :18:03. | :18:04. | |
them know that they can do more. You them know that they can do more. You | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
can achieve more after your career. There are several local plaxers | :18:11. | :18:12. | |

and told that it was all over. I and told that it was all over. I | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
took a lonely walk onto my to tell them which was one of the worst | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
quotes I have ever done. Back in 1992, half a dozen Manchester United | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
1992, half a dozen Manchestdr United teenagers from the same youth team | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
including David Beckham went on to become household names. Today's | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
including David Beckham went on to become household names. Tod`y's crop | :18:49. | :18:48. | |
become household names. Today's crop at Brighton now that football theme | :18:49. | :18:56. | |
is very elusive. When we first started we only thought about | :18:57. | :18:56. | |
started we only thought abott playing football. But everyone knows | :18:57. | :19:04. | |
what can happen and you can retire and need another back`up plan. They | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
loved football and with luck it will be the life, but it is no longer the | :19:10. | :19:20. | |

people more than half her age to shame, but at the age of 91, Daphne | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
Bernard visits the gym three times shame, but at the age of 91, Daphne | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
Bernard visits the gym thred times a week, and does a full work out, | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
including lifting weights. Jane Witherspoon went to meet the | :19:32. | :19:32. | |
Witherspoon went to meet thd grandmother from Eastbourne to find | :19:33. | :19:34. | |
out just how she stays so energetic. Age is just a number for Daphne | :19:35. | :19:55. | |
Bernard. At 91 she still visits her local gym three times each week. | :19:56. | :19:57. | |
Bernard. At 91 she still visits her local gym three times each week For | :19:58. | :19:57. | |
local gym three times each week. For her exercise as a way of life. It is | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
in your mind. You think should I or in your mind. You think should I or | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
should I not? You must be fhrm in your mind. You think shotld I or | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
should I not? You must be firm about should I not? You must be fhrm about | :20:09. | :20:08. | |
it and do it regularly. If you do it and do it regularly. If xou do | :20:09. | :20:16. | |
not use it, you will lose it. Daphne Bernard was in her late 20s when | :20:17. | :20:25. | |
gymnasiums looked like this. Well the equipment may have changed, her | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
attitude to fit this has not. She says growing up during the war and | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
eating a healthy diet keeps fighting fit. My father was a sergeant in the | :20:35. | :20:45. | |
Army and he was a good example. I was always good at sports as well at | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
school. I do not know if it is perhaps in my blood. Staff at the | :20:51. | :20:55. | |

perhaps in my blood. Staff at the gym full support her legs fdlt. I | :20:58. | :20:59. | |
cannot believe it, it is so inspiring. She is a fine example of | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
someone who is stress`free without any worries and powers throtgh. I | :21:04. | :21:11. | |
have a 20 minute walk home, a cool down as they say, I slow down but I | :21:12. | :21:23. | |
do not stop. It's only a week or so to go until | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
Christmas and everywhere the lights are going up, the trees are being | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
decorated and people are st`rting to get into the festive spirit. For | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
high street traders it's one of the most important times of year, but | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
there is one part of Kent where they're not yet feeling the sparkle. | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
Piers Hopkirk has been investigating. You're in Tunbridge | :21:41. | :21:42. | |
Wells at the moment, and the investigating. You're in Tunbridge | :21:43. | :21:44. | |
Wells at the moment, and thd lights Wells at the moment, and the lights | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
are shining brightly there. The lights have not arrived from China, | :21:48. | :21:49. | |
lights have not arrived frol China, is that correct? Well, when you | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
think about Christmas lights you think about proper illumination to | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
light up the high street but in Whitstable that is far from the case | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
with the Christmas lights h`ving gone missing. | :22:06. | :22:17. | |
Across the South East, streets are bathed in the elimination of | :22:18. | :22:19. | |
Christmas lights, from the traditional ones to the stream. | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
Christmas lights, from the traditional ones to the strdam. At | :22:24. | :22:23. | |
this spot in Eastbourne it is not this spot in Eastbourne it hs not | :22:24. | :22:28. | |

really nice and we often cole here. Christmas is very special. | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
Everywhere appears to be whhpped up Everywhere appears to be whipped up | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
for Christmas. Everywhere apart from Whitstable. The Christmas lhghts | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
this year are not so much low wattage as no wattage. There is | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
wattage as no wattage. Therd is still the Christmas feel and a lot | :22:47. | :22:48. | |
of the local shops have tried to put of the local shops have tried to put | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
up decorations. It would have been better had the lights been tp and I | :22:53. | :22:56. | |

better had the lights been tp and I am disappointed being a local. The | :23:00. | :23:00. | |
children are wondering wherd the whites have gone. You cannot tell | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
them that no one has paid for them or they are stuck on a boat. The | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
Chamber of Commerce bought them in this year from China, the problem is | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
they have been put on the slow boat and instead of lighting up the town, | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
we are sitting on the dock 's. It would have been perfect if we could | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
have had the lights here in time for every December. We would have been | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
able to do it relaxed and get the able to do it relaxed and get the | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
lights up and people would have said that is brilliant. Now we are in a | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
situation where people are `sking situation where people are `sking | :23:34. | :23:34. | |
where the lights have gone and why where the lights have gone `nd why | :23:35. | :23:36. | |
the order them from China. It is where the lights have gone and why | :23:37. | :23:38. | |
the order them from China. Ht is a bit frustrating. Late arriving | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
bit frustrating. Late arrivhng parcels are everyone's worst | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
nightmare at Christmas. At least Whitstable has a festive story to | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
trawl the lot. I spoke to Brighton earlier and she tells me th`t the | :23:53. | :23:54. | |
earlier and she tells me that the lights have travelled as far as | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
Felixstowe Custom's House and the whole they will be delivered and top | :24:02. | :24:10. | |

plans for a massive new four`runway airport on the Isle of Grain in | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
North Kent. The Davies Commission's interim report has short`listed | :24:48. | :24:49. | |
three other proposals: One for a second runway at Gatwick, and two to | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
expand Heathrow. David Lewes has commented on | :24:53. | :24:54. | |
Facebook saying that everyone knows it has got to go to Heathrow or | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
Gatwick and that we should get on with it and that all this mocking | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
around is making us a laughing around is making us a laughing | :25:01. | :25:01. | |

so long for any decision to be made. Let us build a new runway at | :25:09. | :25:12. | |

wants a bigger airport at M`nston, wants a bigger airport at Manston, | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
