:00:17. > :00:20.Tonight's top stories. Could it be terminal news for
:00:21. > :00:23.Manston ` as an offer to bux the troubled airport is withdrawn? The
:00:24. > :00:26.offer was withdrawn at 7am. After six people die in recent wedks
:00:27. > :00:29.trying to smuggle themselves into the UK, pressure grows on
:00:30. > :00:45.politicians in France to cr`ck down on the situation. We'll havd the
:00:46. > :00:48.latest on the situation, live. Also in tonight's programme: The
:00:49. > :00:52.Kent Police worker with an hncurable condition who says she was sacked
:00:53. > :00:54.because of ill health, but denied a pension in case she recovers. Record

:01:08. > :01:21.everyday. I ate all of the wrong foods.
:01:22. > :01:27.Good evening. Hopes of keephng Manston Airport open have bden dealt
:01:28. > :01:31.a severe blow, after an offdr to buy it as a going concern was whthdrawn.
:01:32. > :01:34.It means up to 150 jobs rem`in at risk after the owners announced it
:01:35. > :01:38.was "financially unviable". Last week a letter was sent to its owner
:01:39. > :01:41.Ann Gloag, who co`founded the Stagecoach Group, offering to buy
:01:42. > :01:44.the airport. But this morning staff were told that the unnamed potential
:01:45. > :01:47.buyer had withdrawn their offer There are no more passenger flights
:01:48. > :01:50.scheduled after the 9th of @pril. Simon Jones reports.
:01:51. > :01:55.Workers told this morning a potential deal to save Manston had
:01:56. > :01:58.been withdrawn. Very disappointed. Because, of course, that always
:01:59. > :02:01.gives hope. The offer was whthdrawn at 7am. We have been in a
:02:02. > :02:05.consultation meeting, and the issue has been raised. We have bedn
:02:06. > :02:11.talking about a number of options. We have a further meeting ndxt
:02:12. > :02:13.Thursday. This lunchtime, representatives for the current
:02:14. > :02:18.owner cancelled a planned mdeting with the local MP, who is at
:02:19. > :02:22.fighting to keep Manston opdn. I am saddened that the company does not
:02:23. > :02:28.feel they are able to meet with this. `` with us. In politics, you
:02:29. > :02:31.continually have to fight things which superficially by feel like
:02:32. > :02:35.lost causes. I am not a quitter I do not believe in throwing hn the
:02:36. > :02:40.towel. There may come a timd where if it closes, we have to look at the
:02:41. > :02:45.plan B, and that is water under the bridge. Until that time comds, I
:02:46. > :02:51.remain hopeful. The 45 day consultation into the airport's
:02:52. > :02:54.possible closure started last month. The offered to buy Manston was
:02:55. > :02:58.tabled last week, but today, many feel hope is lost. In your opinion,
:02:59. > :03:11.is this the end for Manston is unable? `` as an airport? It
:03:12. > :03:14.certainly looks like it. All of the speculation has been damaging for
:03:15. > :03:17.staff. I think with the frehght operators that they would bd pulling
:03:18. > :03:21.out, KLM pulling out, I think this is possibly the end. This couple but
:03:22. > :03:24.in a flight in June, and cale to the airport looking for answers, but
:03:25. > :03:35.found only uncertainty. It hs disappointing. If it all falls flat.
:03:36. > :03:38.A packed public meeting at the weekend showed the strength of
:03:39. > :03:41.feeling. Some feel there is still a hope. A lot of people have different
:03:42. > :03:43.ideas about multimillionaird owners. Sometimes, they are eccentrhc
:03:44. > :03:47.people, they are sometimes very particular, in what they like and
:03:48. > :03:59.what they don't like. Somethmes it is not a financial argument. It
:04:00. > :04:05.might be whim. I think Manston can attract eight serious contender Is
:04:06. > :04:12.it possible? We shall wait `nd see. Tonight, time is running out to stop
:04:13. > :04:20.the sun setting on Manston. Simon is light at Manston now. Some gloomy
:04:21. > :04:25.predictions some optimism. Hs this the end? The harsh reality hs that
:04:26. > :04:30.tonight, there are no firm offers on the table, but the big situ`tion
:04:31. > :04:33.under consideration is why things have gone wrong. I understand there
:04:34. > :04:39.was a big difference in the amount of money offered, and the v`lue
:04:40. > :04:43.being put on the airport by the current owners. Tonight, we have a
:04:44. > :04:46.bizarre situation where it `ppears that the owners are no longdr
:04:47. > :04:52.prepared to speak to the MP trying to broken the deal. He thinks that
:04:53. > :04:55.they are continuing his interventions to be tiresomd. For
:04:56. > :05:01.politicians, this is a diffhcult situation. Today plough on, or do
:05:02. > :05:05.they simply accept defeat and turn their attention to what happens to
:05:06. > :05:15.the airfield here in the future Talk of houses, but also much
:05:16. > :05:18.opposition against that. Wotld`be illegal migrants will continue to
:05:19. > :05:21.risk their lives trying to dnter Dover unless the French authorities
:05:22. > :05:24.in Calais tighten their sectrity. That's the message tonight from Mark
:05:25. > :05:28.Reckless MP, a member of thd Commons Home Select Committee. His get tough
:05:29. > :05:31.message comes as the Deputy Mayor of Calais is reported to be prdparing
:05:32. > :05:35.to launch a major crackdown on migrants attempting to enter Britain
:05:36. > :05:38.illegally. Last week we exclusively highlighted how a number of migrants
:05:39. > :05:41.had died as they made desperate attempts to enter the port of Dover.
:05:42. > :05:47.Peter Whittlesea reports from Calais.
:05:48. > :05:53.Balancing on the axle of a lorry. The desperate measures taken were
:05:54. > :05:57.filled by BBC south`east. Kdnt MP is now calling on the French
:05:58. > :06:01.authorities to take action before more lives are lost. We need to
:06:02. > :06:06.secure the border, because the worst thing to do is to let down our
:06:07. > :06:10.guard, because if it was possible for these refugees or asylul seekers
:06:11. > :06:18.to come through more easily, that would attract more, including to put
:06:19. > :06:23.more lives at risk. When thd Prime Minister saw the footage, hd said
:06:24. > :06:27.the government was cutting down on illegal migration. Whether ht is
:06:28. > :06:35.putting the cap on migrants, whether we police the ports properlx, we are
:06:36. > :06:47.taking all the steps. It is a major concern for me. In Calais, they
:06:48. > :06:54.claim migrants take greater risks because this centre is closhng. The
:06:55. > :07:01.only way to go to Britain is to board a lorry or a boat in Calais,
:07:02. > :07:11.or a train. If they do it in a hurry, there is no preparathon. It
:07:12. > :07:18.is a risk. Off`camera, one ligrant told me he was caught by a sniffer
:07:19. > :07:24.dog. He says he tries to eat stowaway. A harder line tow`rds the
:07:25. > :07:27.encampments might be. The French authorities have allowed Syrians to
:07:28. > :07:37.camp here because they are fleeing a war`torn country. Many are viewed as
:07:38. > :07:41.economic migrants, and so they have no problems pulling down thdir
:07:42. > :07:45.camps. That would be welcomdd by some in Calais. It does not add
:07:46. > :07:49.anything to Calais, and we travel a little bit further on, and we saw
:07:50. > :08:03.more encampments, so it is not so good. I do not like immigrants. This
:08:04. > :08:05.video was filmed. Politicians are being asked to tackle the ctrrent
:08:06. > :08:22.situation in France. It was our exclusive footagd of
:08:23. > :08:24.migrants riding on the axles of UK bound trucks and chasing after
:08:25. > :08:27.vehicles that reignited concerns and debate over illegal immigration from
:08:28. > :08:31.Calais. According to the authorities in the French city, at least 10
:08:32. > :08:34.migrants a week are reaching the UK by concealing themselves on trucks.
:08:35. > :08:38.One French charity says since 2 02, there have been two hundred migrants
:08:39. > :08:42.killed trying to get to the UK. And the BBC has discovered five migrants
:08:43. > :08:44.have been killed in the last two months alone.
:08:45. > :08:49.It is shocking footage you have been showing on the programme, btt it
:08:50. > :08:53.shows the incentives that pdople have to come to the UK, and it shows
:08:54. > :08:57.that there is a huge economx in the UK where you can find work
:08:58. > :09:06.illegally. There are family ties. It shows that the UK is a huge blow for
:09:07. > :09:09.people round the world to come here. Our Special Correspondent Colin
:09:10. > :09:12.Campbell joins us live from Dover. There's been quite a reaction to
:09:13. > :09:19.your reports. David Cameron has of course commented on the det`ils of
:09:20. > :09:22.our investigation, an attempt to defend the policy to deter hllegal
:09:23. > :09:27.immigration into the UK. Thd transport minister has met with some

:09:41. > :09:42.We do not know if any conversations are taking place between thd British

:09:48. > :09:51.opportunity to speak to the deputy mayor of Calais. The local

:11:39. > :11:42.completely changed. Maxine was dismissed from her job here in the

:15:38. > :15:46.I went down to a tiny lake just outside Canterbury, and within 0
:15:47. > :15:53.seconds of being on a wayfarer, I had fallen in love with it. It is
:15:54. > :16:00.just incredible. That feeling of utter freedom, the ability to move

:16:14. > :16:26.Hilary Lister is with here with us. How long did that trip take? Just

:16:39. > :16:42.Coping with life generally? You have two sale at night, and with two of
:16:43. > :16:48.you, you have to work a six`hour shift in the morning, and in the
:16:49. > :16:58.evening, ED three hours shifts. I was first up and got six until 2,
:16:59. > :17:01.and my colleague got 12 till six. It was not too bad. There were moments
:17:02. > :17:06.when I wish I had gone down below when I hadn't, and most of ht, I
:17:07. > :17:13.just slept on deck. I understand that you also had encounter with a
:17:14. > :17:18.flying fish. Yes! It hit me right in the face! About three in thd
:17:19. > :17:21.morning. It was a bit of a shock, but they do not try and esc`pe, they
:17:22. > :17:28.just lie in your lap with the wings out. We're not talking about the
:17:29. > :17:32.comforts of home. You are e`ting food that we have here. You're
:17:33. > :17:37.talking to us about it earlher. It is not the nicest tasting food. It
:17:38. > :17:45.is not. That stuff, which is self eating, is pretty good. But the
:17:46. > :17:52.rehydrated things can vary hugely. What is with your favourite?

:18:14. > :18:21.everybody else was getting dxcited about seeing land again. But you do
:18:22. > :18:25.miss some things. I was desperate for vegetables when I got home! Are
:18:26. > :18:31.you planning something for that Is that it now? Have you achieved an
:18:32. > :18:35.ambition? No, we are going to do something else next year, which is a
:18:36. > :18:41.longer sail. Then hopefully, something the following which will
:18:42. > :18:48.be even longer. It is about pushing the boundaries, as always. Xou must
:18:49. > :18:52.get a great buzz from the rdaction. You have been given all sorts of

:20:02. > :20:04.lift Charlton three points clear of the drop Zone. Brighton's g`me at
:20:05. > :20:08.Blackburn was action packed and having not scored for three matches
:20:09. > :20:11.the Albion took the lead early on with David Rodriguez scoring his
:20:12. > :20:14.first goal for the club but shortly after that the highly rated Jordan

:20:18. > :20:20.range and just before half time Blackburn went in front when Cairney
:20:21. > :20:23.finished really confidently from an acute angle. After the break
:20:24. > :20:27.Brighton levelled things up when skipper Gordon Greer got on the end
