Welcome to South East Today. I'm Rob tonight. That is all from us,

:00:00.:00:08.

Welcome to South East Today. I'm Rob Smith. And I'm Natalie Grah`m.

:00:09.:00:11.

Tonight's top stories: He s`ys it's now the number one political issue `

:00:12.:00:15.

Nigel Farage, the UKIP leaddr and South East MEP, speaks out on

:00:16.:00:16.

immigration. We face the prospect of the largest

:00:17.:00:20.

migratory wave that has ever come to this country, and we have three

:00:21.:00:23.

political parties who are not prepared to do anything abott it.

:00:24.:00:32.

21 years after Claire Tiltm`n was stabbed, a man appears in court

:00:33.:00:35.

charged with her murder. Also in tonight's programme: the

:00:36.:00:42.

class B drug that has been blamed for a rise in violence in prison.

:00:43.:00:47.

The brothers killed in action in the First World War ` and the chance

:00:48.:00:50.

discovery that will see thehr portraits reunited after a century.

:00:51.:00:55.

It was all darkness except for my brother.

:00:56.:00:57.

And the cheeky chappie Jason Manford takes to the stage in Sussex,

:00:58.:00:59.

battling his first world problems. Good evening. The South East MEP and

:01:00.:01:14.

leader of the UK Independence Party has told his party's Spring

:01:15.:01:16.

Conference that immigration has now become the number`one issue in

:01:17.:01:20.

British politics. Nigel Far`ge also warned that the UK cannot h`ve its

:01:21.:01:24.

own immigration policy and remain a member of the European Union.

:01:25.:01:29.

It comes as we can exclusivdly reveal that one Conservativd MP in

:01:30.:01:33.

Kent is to hold a referendul in his constituency on whether or not to

:01:34.:01:38.

stay in the EU. In a few molents, I'll be talking to Nigel Farage `

:01:39.:01:42.

but first this from our polhtical editor, Louise Stewart.

:01:43.:01:49.

An enthusiastic welcome frol Nigel Farage as he meets the partx

:01:50.:01:52.

faithful at their Spring Conference. His message is that UKIP

:01:53.:01:57.

is a party on the march. He said immigration had become the number

:01:58.:02:01.

one issue in politics, and only UK IP could battle. Della mac `s things

:02:02.:02:09.

go as badly as I think they well, we face the prospect of the largest

:02:10.:02:13.

migratory wave that has ever come to this country, and we have three

:02:14.:02:18.

political parties who are not prepared to do anything abott it. Is

:02:19.:02:23.

the message that seems to rdsonate, particularly in the south`e`st where

:02:24.:02:26.

voters are concerned about the of immigration. Yet the limit on it,

:02:27.:02:31.

don't you? You can't let anxone coming. Because we are so close to

:02:32.:02:39.

France, it has been a probldm with a lot of illegal immigrants. They

:02:40.:02:44.

should be allowed to come as long as they are working. Even consdrvatives

:02:45.:02:52.

admit it is a big issue. Now a MP has decided to take the UKIP on He

:02:53.:02:57.

wants to take on a referendtm. I believe the British people, starting

:02:58.:03:04.

tomorrow, deserve to have a chance to say to have a closer union with

:03:05.:03:08.

Europe or for Britain to be an independent country? Experts want

:03:09.:03:14.

tackling UKIP halon is riskx. We see that the Conservatives are trying to

:03:15.:03:19.

deal with things by trying to outdo UKIP. That is allowing them to say,

:03:20.:03:25.

we will not do that, like the go home then. It was the ideal

:03:26.:03:31.

opportunity for UKIP to say that is awful. We want something else. UKIP

:03:32.:03:36.

is planning to pull off the biggest shock by winning in the European

:03:37.:03:42.

elections. Nigel Farage is now under pressure to deliver it.

:03:43.:03:49.

We're hoping to be joined bx Nigel Farage later in the programle.

:03:50.:03:54.

A man has appeared in court via videolink charged with the lurder of

:03:55.:03:57.

a teenager in Kent 21 years ago 45`year`old Colin Ash`Smith is

:03:58.:04:00.

accused of stabbing 16`year`old Claire Tiltman in an alleyw`y in

:04:01.:04:02.

Greenhithe. Our home affairs reporter, Rebecca Williams, reports.

:04:03.:04:05.

She was stabbed to death in Greenhithe two decades ago. Now a

:04:06.:04:08.

man has been formally chargdd with Claire Tiltman's murder. Colin

:04:09.:04:12.

Ash`Smith appeared in court today via video link from high security

:04:13.:04:16.

Belmarsh Prison. During the 10`minute hearing, he spoke only to

:04:17.:04:19.

confirm his name, age and l`st known address. His parents watched on from

:04:20.:04:24.

the public gallery, which w`s completely full. Many members of

:04:25.:04:28.

Claire Tiltman's family and her friends were also present. Ht was in

:04:29.:04:33.

an alleyway in Greenhithe that Claire was killed in 1993. She had

:04:34.:04:38.

taken a short cut to a friend's house, and was wounded more than 40

:04:39.:04:42.

times. It is one of Kent Police s longest`running unsolved cases. You

:04:43.:04:48.

may have seen or even be thd man that several people saw on various

:04:49.:04:51.

parts of the hill. Over the years, there have been numerous appeals for

:04:52.:04:54.

people to come forward with information relating to the

:04:55.:04:57.

incident. Claire's parents, who were crucial to keeping their datghter's

:04:58.:05:02.

memory alive, died a few ye`rs ago. In court today, there was no

:05:03.:05:05.

indication as to how Colin @sh`Smith would plead, and he made no bail

:05:06.:05:10.

application. He has been told to appear at Maidstone Crown Court for

:05:11.:05:13.

a preliminary hearing on Monday morning.

:05:14.:05:24.

In a moment: The last of thd Eastbourne pleasure boats ` and the

:05:25.:05:27.

campaign to raise ?500,000 to save them.

:05:28.:05:35.

A sharp rise in violence at a Kent prison has been linked to the use of

:05:36.:05:41.

a class B drug among inmates. There have been two stabbings in the past

:05:42.:05:44.

year at Blantyre House, a resettlement prison near Gotdhurst.

:05:45.:05:49.

It was once called a "jewel in the crown of the prison service", but

:05:50.:05:52.

the latest report from Her Lajesty's Inspectorate of Prisons comds just

:05:53.:05:55.

months after Blantyre House was heavily criticised by volunteers who

:05:56.:05:58.

carried out their own separ`te inspection. Lucinda Adam reports.

:05:59.:06:10.

Spices cheap to buy and our hard to detect. A synthetic cannabis with

:06:11.:06:16.

effects has been blamed with an increase in violence. Your Lac both

:06:17.:06:22.

prisoners and staff told us that spices were not available in prison.

:06:23.:06:26.

I don't think there is any doubt about that, although it does not

:06:27.:06:29.

sure up in normal testing mdthods. So individual use is quite difficult

:06:30.:06:35.

to detect. It was a cause of bullying and violence in thd prison,

:06:36.:06:38.

so was traded in causing difficulties. Agutter spies were

:06:39.:06:41.

found inside the prison thrde times in six months, but the extent of its

:06:42.:06:47.

use is impossible to record. Experts admit they know little about the

:06:48.:06:52.

drug, which was only band in 20 9. The effects of being dramathc. We

:06:53.:06:56.

know it can lead to a psychotic episode. It can lead to increased

:06:57.:07:01.

violence. Serious self harm, attacks on other people using it. There are

:07:02.:07:04.

not many other drugs we know can cause that sort of massive `dverse

:07:05.:07:09.

reaction. Four years ago, when Inspector of prisons did his last

:07:10.:07:13.

inspection, he said this prhson was a jewel in the crown of the prison

:07:14.:07:18.

system. Now he said that problems with drugs and violence could see

:07:19.:07:23.

the work deteriorate. Local MP Greg Clark visited the prison to raise

:07:24.:07:27.

his concerns. There is worrhed that if it declines any further, it will

:07:28.:07:31.

that ethos and that reputathon, so I hope that the governor takes this

:07:32.:07:36.

matter seriously, as well as the prison service. We hope thex will

:07:37.:07:41.

look carefully at what is going on. Today, the prison services says it

:07:42.:07:46.

takes the use of drugs seriously and presses for the most serious charges

:07:47.:07:48.

across anyone caught using or dealing. The prison is still

:07:49.:07:54.

considered a good prison, btt new drugs like spice mean difficult new

:07:55.:07:59.

challenges. A Church of England priest who was

:08:00.:08:02.

jailed last year for sexually abusing young children has had his

:08:03.:08:05.

application for release on compassionate grounds rejected.

:08:06.:08:08.

Canon Gordon Rideout, who worked in Eastbourne, was jailed last May for

:08:09.:08:12.

ten years. It's understood that he had recently been admitted to

:08:13.:08:14.

hospital. One of his victims described it as "an obvious ploy to

:08:15.:08:23.

manipulate the system". Work will begin on removing the

:08:24.:08:26.

barriers from the Dartford Crossing this autumn. Increased charges ` up

:08:27.:08:30.

to ?2.50 for cars ` paid on the internet or over the phone will

:08:31.:08:33.

begin in October as a new barrier`less system is phasdd in.

:08:34.:08:36.

The scheme, designed to easd congestion, is expected to be

:08:37.:08:39.

completed in June next year. The parents of a two`year`old girl

:08:40.:08:43.

who had a large clump of hahr pulled out while playing with a tox train

:08:44.:08:46.

are warning other parents to be aware of the dangers. Lily

:08:47.:08:51.

Brokenshire was playing with the toy at home in Crawley when the incident

:08:52.:08:54.

happened. The manufacturers say that the warnings are already explained

:08:55.:08:57.

on the instructions. Ellie Price reports.

:08:58.:09:02.

Playing with her toy train `gain, but two`year`old Lily Brokenshire

:09:03.:09:08.

family watching her every move. Last time she played with it, thhs

:09:09.:09:12.

happened. She picked it up, as you do, put it towards her hair, and the

:09:13.:09:20.

motorised toy clips in their hair and took big of her out. Shd

:09:21.:09:25.

squealed, and she was holding the train with her in it. If it happened

:09:26.:09:31.

to me, I would've gone ment`l. Just go through primary, so won't be nice

:09:32.:09:36.

with people saying what thex do nowadays.

:09:37.:09:41.

The toy manufacturer has apologised and sister takes child safety

:09:42.:09:43.

seriously. It says there is a leaflet in the packaging whhch once

:09:44.:09:46.

about playing with the train near hair, body and clothes. Toys! Toys!

:09:47.:09:55.

These things happen. The dalage is done if you don't let children

:09:56.:09:59.

experience some element of risk because they don't grow up with

:10:00.:10:04.

those risk assessment skills. It is important not to overreact to freak

:10:05.:10:09.

accidents and over protectable done. Wye the manufacturer says the toy is

:10:10.:10:14.

suitable for one`year`olds. Lily Brokenshire family says it hs hard

:10:15.:10:19.

to stop children from putting toys in their hair. They hope thdir hair

:10:20.:10:25.

will grow back. But she has found other things to play with.

:10:26.:10:31.

This is our top story tonight: Nigel Farage, leader of UKIP, told his

:10:32.:10:34.

party's spring conference that immigration is still the nulber`one

:10:35.:10:41.

political issue. Adjusting his party's Spring conference, he said

:10:42.:10:47.

the UK can't have its own immigration policy and stay in the

:10:48.:10:49.

European Union. And one Conservative MP, Mark Reckless, MP for Rochester,

:10:50.:10:53.

has told this programme he hs to hold a referendum on whether or not

:10:54.:10:57.

Britain should leave the EU. Also in tonight's programme: I'm Jason

:10:58.:11:02.

Manfred, and later in the show, I will tell you about my new show

:11:03.:11:07.

which comes to Hastings tomorrow. After an overcast and wet d`y, is

:11:08.:11:11.

there anything brighter for the weekend? To emulating the programme

:11:12.:11:17.

that the cast. `` join me l`ter the forecast.

:11:18.:11:22.

Every picture tells a story, as the saying goes, and a striking portrait

:11:23.:11:26.

of a British Army Officer of World War I on show at the Jerwood Gallery

:11:27.:11:30.

in Hastings certainly bears that out. But a chance discovery last

:11:31.:11:32.

year uncovered the extraordhnary fact that the painting has `

:11:33.:11:36.

brother. And together, they tell a moving tale of a family both brought

:11:37.:11:39.

together ` and divided ` by the outbreak of the First World War

:11:40.:11:41.

Robin Gibson explains. Could he be anything other than an

:11:42.:11:51.

English officer of the First World War? A young, pink face in ` uniform

:11:52.:11:58.

that hangs too large, a gun that looks too big. The camouflage

:11:59.:12:06.

greens, browns and golds st`nd out. The story is outstanding and

:12:07.:12:14.

surprising. He came from, fascinatingly, an Anglo`Gerlan

:12:15.:12:16.

family, a family that had Gdrman origins, came to live in England,

:12:17.:12:27.

and became British. In 1916, it was painted, and he was killed shortly

:12:28.:12:35.

afterwards. We know the young man was killed so soon after gohng to

:12:36.:12:39.

France. He never saw his own portrait. The artist was Alfred

:12:40.:12:42.

Wolmark, whose self portrait also hangs at the Jerwood. The phcture of

:12:43.:12:47.

Norman Kohnstamm lingers in the memory. But his great niece had

:12:48.:12:51.

something more surprising to show me. We obviously know about this

:12:52.:12:56.

portrait, because this one has stayed in the family. At Madeleine

:12:57.:13:01.

Bunting's London home, they have a second portrait of a brother. The

:13:02.:13:06.

astonishment in the family last summer when my aunt happened to be

:13:07.:13:10.

in Hastings and went to the Jerwood Gallery and found a portrait saying

:13:11.:13:16.

"Norman Kohnstamm". She phoned up the whole family. She told ts all

:13:17.:13:21.

and it was absolutely extraordinary. We had no idea there was a second

:13:22.:13:26.

portrait. Photographs seem to make it clear that this picture hs of

:13:27.:13:31.

elder brother Norman Kohnst`mm. They think the Jerwood picture is his

:13:32.:13:37.

younger brother, Jack. They were the sons of very prosperous bushnessmen

:13:38.:13:42.

in London. Jack was the tearaway. He was the flamboyant character. They

:13:43.:13:49.

had been raised as English gentleman here, where their German`Jewish

:13:50.:13:51.

father was in business. The First World War was a bad time for German

:13:52.:13:55.

families on the home front. They faced intimidation, riots,

:13:56.:14:00.

incarceration. The Kohnstamls were close to the German side of the

:14:01.:14:06.

family. Jack was sent to a boarding school in Germany, where thd family

:14:07.:14:10.

had come from, and he was in Heidelburg at the outbreak of the

:14:11.:14:13.

First World War, where he w`s esconced in a huge network of German

:14:14.:14:17.

cousins and aunts and uncles. But both brothers could not wait to

:14:18.:14:20.

enlist to fight for English king and country. Jack was killed within

:14:21.:14:25.

weeks of going to the front. He was 18. His German cousin, Rudolph, was

:14:26.:14:31.

killed facing him at the Battle of the Somme. Norman was also killed in

:14:32.:14:41.

France in 1918. A third Kohnstamm, Jeffrey, was spared. He was stood

:14:42.:14:45.

down waiting for a ship to France the day the war ended. Limit These

:14:46.:14:57.

two young men have continued to inspire, and that is a wonddrful way

:14:58.:15:01.

in which memory continues. Here we are, 100 years after the evdnt, and

:15:02.:15:04.

these young men's lives are still shaping and influencing ours. But

:15:05.:15:09.

now their story is out, there is one thing we can do for them. The two

:15:10.:15:14.

brothers, parted by death, `re to be reunited by art. The family and

:15:15.:15:20.

gallery are hoping to displ`y them side`by`side ` the German`English

:15:21.:15:22.

gentleman who died for King and country.

:15:23.:15:43.

We're going to go back to otr top story for a moment. Nigel F`rage has

:15:44.:15:52.

been telling his party's Spring conference that immigration has

:15:53.:15:55.

become the number one issue in British politics. We had hoped to

:15:56.:16:00.

speak to you earlier, but I understand we had technical

:16:01.:16:02.

difficulties. Thank you for being with us. What convinces you now that

:16:03.:16:10.

immigration is the number one issue, rather than the economy, jobs or

:16:11.:16:16.

education? It's interesting. Ever since the war, the economy has been

:16:17.:16:19.

the main issue upon which pdople voted. It is not any more. Since

:16:20.:16:25.

2004, when we opened the door to eastern Europe on an uncondhtional

:16:26.:16:29.

basis, people have seen changes in the community is unlike anything I

:16:30.:16:34.

could ever have imagined. The community in which you live, whether

:16:35.:16:38.

you recognise it or feel part of it, that matters more than whether you

:16:39.:16:44.

are earning another ten pounds or ?15 a week. Community, sensd of

:16:45.:16:49.

identity, these are the isstes in British politics. I do know of you

:16:50.:16:53.

heard about the Eurosceptic MP and his announcement that he will hold a

:16:54.:16:57.

referendum in his constituthon on the EU. He is stealing thunder,

:16:58.:17:03.

isn't he? Your Mac he is a good chap. He's in the House of Commons

:17:04.:17:08.

and has lots of opinions, hd is just in the wrong party. If what Mark

:17:09.:17:15.

does by holding a referendul is to increase UKIP's folks, I will thank

:17:16.:17:20.

him. Will you not stand agahnst him in the general election? We're not

:17:21.:17:24.

thinking about that. This is not a fringe splinter of the Consdrvative

:17:25.:17:30.

Party, this is a vibrant, organic political party. Two thirds of our

:17:31.:17:34.

voters don't come from the Conservative Party. In 84 d`ys, we

:17:35.:17:39.

fighting a European election, we are fighting to win and come first, we

:17:40.:17:43.

intend to cause an earthquake in British politics, and if we succeed,

:17:44.:17:47.

we will go into the 2015 eldctions with a realistic can to bring people

:17:48.:17:51.

into Westminster. You say you're wanting to do, mainstream p`rty but

:17:52.:17:56.

by putting immigration rights front and centre of everything th`t you

:17:57.:17:58.

were talking about, isn't there a danger of making the party `ppear to

:17:59.:18:03.

still be a one issue party `nd stirring up antiforeigner fdeling is

:18:04.:18:08.

at attracting people who have a little England mentality? Your Mac

:18:09.:18:13.

will use to talk about, the European union are making 70% of our laws, I

:18:14.:18:18.

was accused of being a one trick pony. You still say we are ` one

:18:19.:18:23.

trick pony. By definition, we can't be. We're not anti`immigrathon,

:18:24.:18:28.

we're not anti`immigrant in any way at all, and we will have many

:18:29.:18:32.

members of ethnic communitids standing as UKIP candidates in

:18:33.:18:35.

elections coming up on late 20 seconds, the same day as thd euros

:18:36.:18:38.

this year, but we believe there needs to be a level of control,

:18:39.:18:43.

control in numbers, control of people coming into this country

:18:44.:18:45.

Sensible countries like Australia make a decision that will this

:18:46.:18:50.

person benefit our society or not? What we have done is open the door

:18:51.:18:53.

unconditionally to southern and eastern Europe, and the figtres we

:18:54.:18:56.

had yesterday showed that l`st year, there was a 40% incre`se in

:18:57.:19:02.

net migration to Britain. I'm sorry, that is unacceptable. Thank you very

:19:03.:19:08.

much for being with us. Thank you. I'm sure we will hear more of him

:19:09.:19:10.

before may. They've been described as all that's

:19:11.:19:13.

left of 200 years of pleasure boating in Eastbourne. But today,

:19:14.:19:16.

the Southern Queen and the William Allchorn lie unused and

:19:17.:19:19.

deteriorating on the beach there. Now a campaign's been launched to

:19:20.:19:22.

raise ?500,000 to get the 60`year`old boats back to sda again.

:19:23.:19:24.

Charlie Rose has more. Back in the '50s, pleasure boating

:19:25.:19:28.

was a popular past time in Eastbourne, with scores of boat

:19:29.:19:35.

licences working off the co`st here. She was originally built for Sayers

:19:36.:19:39.

Bros. Today, things couldn't be more different. These are the only two

:19:40.:19:44.

left, and they represent all the families, all the hundreds of boats

:19:45.:19:47.

that used to ply their tradd between the Redoubt Fortress and thd Wish

:19:48.:19:53.

Tower. This is it. This is `ll we have left of all that history. That

:19:54.:19:59.

engines and an overhaul of the entire structure, all to brhng back

boats. Since then, he says the recession put an end to the

:20:19.:20:21.

business, and vandalism has also taken its toll. I think we've only

:20:22.:20:26.

got, really, another year, before they deteriorate to a point where

:20:27.:20:30.

there is nothing we will be able to do. It will be such a shame. We ve

:20:31.:20:34.

had, obviously, interest in other areas, but to me, it is verx

:20:35.:20:37.

important that they stay in Eastbourne, and to Lloyd as well,

:20:38.:20:41.

for us to carry on with the pleasure boats. Everybody loves them, and it

:20:42.:20:48.

is so important. This is thd William Allchorn back in the heyday of

:20:49.:20:52.

pleasure boating. Now, Jason and Lloyd say they need to raisd

:20:53.:20:55.

?500,000 to bring both vessdls back to shipshape condition, and cruising

:20:56.:20:56.

on the Sussex seas. That would be nice. Tomorrow is the

:20:57.:21:14.

first day of spring, as far as the Met Office is concerned, but

:21:15.:21:17.

amazingly, Crawley Town will play their first home league gamd of the

:21:18.:21:19.

year tomorrow. Earlier this week, the club has

:21:20.:21:22.

sacked its head groundsman `fter being forced to postpone thdir last

:21:23.:21:26.

five home games due to the state of the pitch. Neil Bell joins ts from

:21:27.:21:31.

their ground. It's raining `t the moment, isn't it? Absolutelx. It has

:21:32.:21:37.

been a lucky. The club say that s Matt Moss had been made redtndant as

:21:38.:21:40.

part of their ongoing cost`cutting programme, but with the Football

:21:41.:21:43.

League launching an investigation into the state of the pitch here,

:21:44.:21:47.

it's no great surprise the club has taken some action. This was six

:21:48.:21:51.

weeks ago ` it got worse th`n that. The good news is tomorrow's game

:21:52.:21:54.

with Peterborough has passed an inspection, giving Reds fans the

:21:55.:21:57.

chance to see former hero M`tt Tubbs in action. He has been in great form

:21:58.:22:05.

recently. He's scored four goals in the last three games, but of course

:22:06.:22:09.

they have all been away frol home. Brighton loan signing Jesse Lingard

:22:10.:22:12.

could go straight into the team for tomorrow's trip to Millwall. The

21`year`old striker has joined the Seagulls from Manchester Unhted on a

:22:19.:22:21.

fingers crossed, the Championship play`off semifinals and fin`l.

:22:22.:22:26.

Brighton is a great club. Looking to get in the play`offs as well.

:22:27.:22:29.

Hopefully if we can make thd play`offs, that will be a bhg step

:22:30.:22:33.

up as well for Brighton and for my career.

:22:34.:22:38.

In the other league fixtures, Charlton, who have won their last

:22:39.:22:42.

couple of games, face a tough trip to Championship leaders Leicester.

:22:43.:22:44.

While in League One, Gillingham who have lost their last two gales, are

away at Bristol City. Best of luck to all of our sides, and thd

coming up that I need to tell you about. She was already worrhed. It's

in Afghanistan. Straightawax, little tear in her eye. "What, for the

troops?" LAUGHTER. Not proud of it. I said, "No, it's for Al`Qadda,

Hastings, so what first world problems do you think peopld in

:23:59.:24:04.

Hastings have? I'm looking forward to finding out. Each place hs

different. Some people do gdnuinely look at it as if it's a council
