Welcome to South East Today, I'm outlook is mixed. Thank you. | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Welcome to South East Today, I'm Polly Evans. And I'm Rob Smhth. | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
Tonight's top stories. Could it be terminal news for | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
Manston ` as an offer to bux the troubled airport is withdrawn? The | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
offer was withdrawn at 7am. After six people die in recent wedks | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
trying to smuggle themselves into the UK, pressure grows on | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
politicians in France to cr`ck down on the situation. We'll havd the | :00:30. | :00:45. | |
latest on the situation, live. Also in tonight's programme: The | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
Kent Police worker with an hncurable condition who says she was sacked | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
because of ill health, but denied a pension in case she recovers. Record | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
breaking quadraplegic sailor Hilary Lister joins us to celebratd her | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
latest historic achievement ` crossing the Indian Ocean. @nd she | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
didn't know she was pregnant; the Kent woman who went in to hospital | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
with back pain and went homd with a baby boy. I drank and smoked | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
everyday. I ate all of the wrong foods. | :01:08. | :01:21. | |
Good evening. Hopes of keephng Manston Airport open have bden dealt | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
a severe blow, after an offdr to buy it as a going concern was whthdrawn. | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
It means up to 150 jobs rem`in at risk after the owners announced it | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
was "financially unviable". Last week a letter was sent to its owner | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
Ann Gloag, who co`founded the Stagecoach Group, offering to buy | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
the airport. But this morning staff were told that the unnamed potential | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
buyer had withdrawn their offer There are no more passenger flights | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
scheduled after the 9th of @pril. Simon Jones reports. | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
Workers told this morning a potential deal to save Manston had | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
been withdrawn. Very disappointed. Because, of course, that always | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
gives hope. The offer was whthdrawn at 7am. We have been in a | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
consultation meeting, and the issue has been raised. We have bedn | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
talking about a number of options. We have a further meeting ndxt | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
Thursday. This lunchtime, representatives for the current | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
owner cancelled a planned mdeting with the local MP, who is at | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
fighting to keep Manston opdn. I am saddened that the company does not | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
feel they are able to meet with this. `` with us. In politics, you | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
continually have to fight things which superficially by feel like | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
lost causes. I am not a quitter I do not believe in throwing hn the | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
towel. There may come a timd where if it closes, we have to look at the | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
plan B, and that is water under the bridge. Until that time comds, I | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
remain hopeful. The 45 day consultation into the airport's | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
possible closure started last month. The offered to buy Manston was | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
tabled last week, but today, many feel hope is lost. In your opinion, | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
is this the end for Manston is unable? `` as an airport? It | :02:59. | :03:11. | |
certainly looks like it. All of the speculation has been damaging for | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
staff. I think with the frehght operators that they would bd pulling | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
out, KLM pulling out, I think this is possibly the end. This couple but | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
in a flight in June, and cale to the airport looking for answers, but | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
found only uncertainty. It hs disappointing. If it all falls flat. | :03:25. | :03:35. | |
A packed public meeting at the weekend showed the strength of | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
feeling. Some feel there is still a hope. A lot of people have different | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
ideas about multimillionaird owners. Sometimes, they are eccentrhc | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
people, they are sometimes very particular, in what they like and | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
what they don't like. Somethmes it is not a financial argument. It | :03:48. | :03:59. | |
might be whim. I think Manston can attract eight serious contender Is | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
it possible? We shall wait `nd see. Tonight, time is running out to stop | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
the sun setting on Manston. Simon is light at Manston now. Some gloomy | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
predictions some optimism. Hs this the end? The harsh reality hs that | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
tonight, there are no firm offers on the table, but the big situ`tion | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
under consideration is why things have gone wrong. I understand there | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
was a big difference in the amount of money offered, and the v`lue | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
being put on the airport by the current owners. Tonight, we have a | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
bizarre situation where it `ppears that the owners are no longdr | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
prepared to speak to the MP trying to broken the deal. He thinks that | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
they are continuing his interventions to be tiresomd. For | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
politicians, this is a diffhcult situation. Today plough on, or do | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
they simply accept defeat and turn their attention to what happens to | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
the airfield here in the future Talk of houses, but also much | :05:06. | :05:15. | |
opposition against that. Wotld`be illegal migrants will continue to | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
risk their lives trying to dnter Dover unless the French authorities | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
in Calais tighten their sectrity. That's the message tonight from Mark | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
Reckless MP, a member of thd Commons Home Select Committee. His get tough | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
message comes as the Deputy Mayor of Calais is reported to be prdparing | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
to launch a major crackdown on migrants attempting to enter Britain | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
illegally. Last week we exclusively highlighted how a number of migrants | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
had died as they made desperate attempts to enter the port of Dover. | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
Peter Whittlesea reports from Calais. | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
Balancing on the axle of a lorry. The desperate measures taken were | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
filled by BBC south`east. Kdnt MP is now calling on the French | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
authorities to take action before more lives are lost. We need to | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
secure the border, because the worst thing to do is to let down our | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
guard, because if it was possible for these refugees or asylul seekers | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
to come through more easily, that would attract more, including to put | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
more lives at risk. When thd Prime Minister saw the footage, hd said | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
the government was cutting down on illegal migration. Whether ht is | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
putting the cap on migrants, whether we police the ports properlx, we are | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
taking all the steps. It is a major concern for me. In Calais, they | :06:36. | :06:47. | |
claim migrants take greater risks because this centre is closhng. The | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
only way to go to Britain is to board a lorry or a boat in Calais, | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
or a train. If they do it in a hurry, there is no preparathon. It | :07:02. | :07:11. | |
is a risk. Off`camera, one ligrant told me he was caught by a sniffer | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
dog. He says he tries to eat stowaway. A harder line tow`rds the | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
encampments might be. The French authorities have allowed Syrians to | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
camp here because they are fleeing a war`torn country. Many are viewed as | :07:28. | :07:37. | |
economic migrants, and so they have no problems pulling down thdir | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
camps. That would be welcomdd by some in Calais. It does not add | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
anything to Calais, and we travel a little bit further on, and we saw | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
more encampments, so it is not so good. I do not like immigrants. This | :07:50. | :08:03. | |
video was filmed. Politicians are being asked to tackle the ctrrent | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
situation in France. It was our exclusive footagd of | :08:06. | :08:22. | |
migrants riding on the axles of UK bound trucks and chasing after | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
vehicles that reignited concerns and debate over illegal immigration from | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
Calais. According to the authorities in the French city, at least 10 | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
migrants a week are reaching the UK by concealing themselves on trucks. | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
One French charity says since 2 02, there have been two hundred migrants | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
killed trying to get to the UK. And the BBC has discovered five migrants | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
have been killed in the last two months alone. | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
It is shocking footage you have been showing on the programme, btt it | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
shows the incentives that pdople have to come to the UK, and it shows | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
that there is a huge economx in the UK where you can find work | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
illegally. There are family ties. It shows that the UK is a huge blow for | :08:58. | :09:06. | |
people round the world to come here. Our Special Correspondent Colin | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
Campbell joins us live from Dover. There's been quite a reaction to | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
your reports. David Cameron has of course commented on the det`ils of | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
our investigation, an attempt to defend the policy to deter hllegal | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
immigration into the UK. Thd transport minister has met with some | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
hauliers who is disappointed that who are disappointed with what is | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
going on. It has ended up on the front page one national newspaper. | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
We do not know if any conversations are taking place between thd British | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
government and the French authorities. We have had thd | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
opportunity to speak to the deputy mayor of Calais. The local | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
authorities in Calais were dlected, and now they are keen to do sunny to | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
prevent the migrants talk `` jumping up on the tracks in the town. `` the | :09:58. | :10:06. | |
trucks. The getting there is calling for more police to alleviatd the | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
situation in Calais. He said the government over there is not doing | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
enough, and he will call for tough action. | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
In a moment, she worked for the top department in the Met. She hs now | :10:17. | :10:27. | |
suing the Met for sexual dissemination. `` discrimin`tion. | :10:28. | :10:38. | |
A former Kent Police worker claims she has been left struggling | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
financially after the force failed to give her a pension in case her | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
incurable condition suddenlx improved. Maxine Difford who suffers | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
constant pain from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome ` a condition similar | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
to arthritis, was sacked by Kent Police on the grounds of ill health. | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
The 40`year`old says she was told in July last year that her application | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
for a pension had been declhned on the grounds the independent expert | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
who assessed her had said she might recover by the time she is 65. | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
Nafisa Sayani has more. Living in pain. For Maxine Difford, | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
this can be excruciating. It's down to a chronic condition, for which | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
there's no cure. And it's mdant she's had to stop working. Ht's not | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
at all what I wanted. I've `lways worked. I've always wanted to work. | :11:20. | :11:29. | |
That's obviously changed. I can t walk, I can't put any presstre | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
through the leg at all. I c`n't even take my little boy to the p`rk. It's | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
completely changed. Maxine was dismissed from her job here in the | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
Kent Police control room dud to ill`health. But after an independent | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
medical assessment, she says she's been told she won't be able to claim | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
her pension ` because there's a chance she could recover before | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
retirement age. Complex Reghonal Pain Syndrome is a condition where a | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
person develops a persistent burning pain in one of their limbs, often | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
triggered by an injury. The skin can become very sensitive, and dven the | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
slightest touch or change in temperature can provoke intdnse | :12:05. | :12:13. | |
pain. It's not known why thhs happens, but if left untreated, the | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
pain can spread to other parts of the body. Maxine says her | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
condition's likely to get worse And at the moment, without her wage | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
bringing in two thirds of the family's monthly income, thdy're | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
financially stretched. I've lost four stone in weight, because of the | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
stress. I worry every day as to whether we're going to be able to | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
keep the house, whether we're going to have to move. The pension scheme | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
itself didn't take into account the potential for people to go off | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
unwell at an earlier age and so therefore it's a dilemma for the | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
trustees, because they've got to balance their investment of the | :12:51. | :12:52. | |
scheme against the potential for somebody to gain from an advanced | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
benefit at an earlier stage. In a statement Kent Police claims it has | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
no discretion around regulations outlined in the Local Government | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
Pension policy and can't ovdrturn the decision. Maxine is on ` high | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
dose of painkiller, to make day`to`day living bearable. And | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
meanwhile, she says she needs to keep fighting the ruling. | :13:10. | :13:30. | |
The `` and elderly man has been arrested for driving the wrong way | :13:31. | :13:32. | |
on the A27. A 24`year`old woman from Gillingham | :13:33. | :13:45. | |
has appeared in court chargdd with the murder of a professional | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
gambler. 24`year`old Leonie Granger is accused of killing poker player | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
Mehmet Hassan last month. She appeared via video link at the Old | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
Bailey with co`defendants Nhcholas Chandler and Kyrron Jackson from | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
South East London, who are `lso charged with murder. This is our top | :13:57. | :14:04. | |
story tonight. Hopes of keeping a Kent airport open has been dealt a | :14:05. | :14:13. | |
severe blow. 150 jobs have been placed at risk after the | :14:14. | :14:15. | |
announcement that Manston ahrport could close. The unnamed backer had | :14:16. | :14:23. | |
withdrawn their offer. Also in tonight's programme, the Kent woman | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
who thought she had a bad b`ck, but ended up having a baby. She said | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
that she had no idea she was pregnant. We have had high pollen | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
and pollution counts. I will be able to tell you why later on. | :14:37. | :14:49. | |
When she discovered sailing eleven years ago, Hilary Lister's life | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
transformed dramatically. Hhlary's quadriplegic and can only move her | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
head ` but she can control ` boat using straws in her mouth ` and by | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
doing that, she's made sporting history. Hilary was the first | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
quadriplegic to sail across the Channel and the first disabled woman | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
to sail solo around Britain. Last week, she set another record by | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
crossing the Indian Ocean. We'll be talking to her in a moment but first | :15:11. | :15:25. | |
let's see Hilary in action. I need more fast. | :15:26. | :15:37. | |
I went down to a tiny lake just outside Canterbury, and within 0 | :15:38. | :15:46. | |
seconds of being on a wayfarer, I had fallen in love with it. It is | :15:47. | :15:53. | |
just incredible. That feeling of utter freedom, the ability to move | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
around, go where I want, whdn I want. It is the equivalent of an | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
able`bodied person being able to fly. | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
Hilary Lister is with here with us. How long did that trip take? Just | :16:14. | :16:26. | |
nine days! Have you recoverdd? Absolutely. What does it do to you? | :16:27. | :16:38. | |
Coping with life generally? You have two sale at night, and with two of | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
you, you have to work a six`hour shift in the morning, and in the | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
evening, ED three hours shifts. I was first up and got six until 2, | :16:49. | :16:58. | |
and my colleague got 12 till six. It was not too bad. There were moments | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
when I wish I had gone down below when I hadn't, and most of ht, I | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
just slept on deck. I understand that you also had encounter with a | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
flying fish. Yes! It hit me right in the face! About three in thd | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
morning. It was a bit of a shock, but they do not try and esc`pe, they | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
just lie in your lap with the wings out. We're not talking about the | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
comforts of home. You are e`ting food that we have here. You're | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
talking to us about it earlher. It is not the nicest tasting food. It | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
is not. That stuff, which is self eating, is pretty good. But the | :17:38. | :17:45. | |
rehydrated things can vary hugely. What is with your favourite? | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
Probably the vegetable currx. That is my favourite. I am definhtely | :17:53. | :18:01. | |
never going back to meatballs! Do you miss it? What is going through | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
your mind? I just love the freedom of being out on the water, so | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
everybody else was getting dxcited about seeing land again. But you do | :18:14. | :18:21. | |
miss some things. I was desperate for vegetables when I got home! Are | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
you planning something for that Is that it now? Have you achieved an | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
ambition? No, we are going to do something else next year, which is a | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
longer sail. Then hopefully, something the following which will | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
be even longer. It is about pushing the boundaries, as always. Xou must | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
get a great buzz from the rdaction. You have been given all sorts of | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
things by the people you encounter. We have this glassed dagger about | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
this ``. It is beautiful. It was given to me by the Royal wotld `` | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
Royal guard school. It is about 80 years old, the necklace. It is pure | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
silver and gold. The idea is that he would wear it against your heart, | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
and the box opens. You put ` tiny bit of the Koran inside. It has been | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
a pleasure to speak to you. Thank you. Let's move on to footb`ll. | :19:24. | :19:34. | |
Brighton drew, keeping their play`off hopes alive, Charlton won | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
and Crawley lost. Neil Bell has the round`up. | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
Charlton knew it was a great time to play Leeds whose players weren't | :19:45. | :19:46. | |
paid last week following thdir stalled takeover. The Addicks took | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
the lead shortly after the break when Reza Ghoochannejhad scored an | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
excellent first goal in English football. | :19:53. | :19:52. | |
Charlton knew it was a great time to play Leeds whose players However in | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
stoppage time Diego Poyet, son of former Brighton boss Gus, conceded a | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
penalty, but Ross McCormack's spot kick was well saved by Ben Hamer to | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
lift Charlton three points clear of the drop Zone. Brighton's g`me at | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
Blackburn was action packed and having not scored for three matches | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
the Albion took the lead early on with David Rodriguez scoring his | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
first goal for the club but shortly after that the highly rated Jordan | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
Rhodes reacted smartly diverrting Cairneys free kick in from close | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
range and just before half time Blackburn went in front when Cairney | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
finished really confidently from an acute angle. After the break | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
Brighton levelled things up when skipper Gordon Greer got on the end | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
of Lua Lua's corner. All th`t good work seemed to be undone whdn a | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
Rhodes penalty restored the home sides lead but there was sthll time | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
for Stephens to head home Lhngard's cross to move the Albion to within | :20:35. | :20:35. | |
three points of the play`offs. In League One, a clumsy challenge in | :20:36. | :20:54. | |
the box allowed Crawley to dnd their goal drought thanks to Clark's | :20:55. | :20:56. | |
first`half penalty but desphte bossing the game it was Port Vale | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
who scored next courtsey of a stunning shot from Knott from | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
outside the area shortly after the break, and then with six minutes to | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
go Loft's speculative effort crept agonisingly in to make it four | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
defeats on the spin for the Reds. When she woke up on a arm... | :21:13. | :21:24. | |
She had unbearable pain, and her mother at call an ambulance. They | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
did not have an unhappy endhng, the cost paramedic dropped the bombshell | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
that the 20`year`old was in labour. She unexpected gave birth to a | :21:38. | :21:48. | |
little boy! She's a size ten mother who did not know she was prdgnant | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
until half an hour before she gave birth. Everything they say not to do | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
when you're pregnant, I havd done. I went out, nights out, I went to the | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
festival. I smoke. I ate all the wrong foods. I worked. This is | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
Sophie getting ready for a night out with friends. She is eight lonths | :22:07. | :22:14. | |
pregnant. Her flat tummy on show for all to see. This remarkable story | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
begins in November last year, when Sophie came to this hospital | :22:20. | :22:21. | |
claiming back pain and stom`ch cramp. She was given two injections, | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
once the pain I want to help her sleep, and then she was told to go | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
home again. At home, the pahn continued. Man called an ambulance. | :22:30. | :22:39. | |
`` her mother called an ambtlance. On the way to Ashford, Sophhe's | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
water broke. I was out of the seat belt, and I said, I think she's | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
having a baby! She said, no, I'm not! I need to go to work! Those | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
were her first words. Her exes popped out of her head. You are Dad | :22:51. | :23:01. | |
was following in a car behind. When the blue light started flashing he | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
began to fear the worst. Thd doctor said she had a bug. I thought it was | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
really serious. I thought she was dying. When I slung the car in the | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
disabled bay, she said that her daughter had gone. I nearly | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
fainted! 15 minutes later, baby Thomas was born in accident and | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
emergency. I did not even h`ve a chance to maternity. I was hn A E. | :23:24. | :23:31. | |
There were 12 nurses or doctors cheering and clapping. She says | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
there will not be a number two for at least ten years. At least she | :23:36. | :23:42. | |
doesn't have to worry about getting her figure back! | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
As surprises go, it is a prdtty big one! The weather now. It is all | :23:50. | :23:54. | |

ease, so we have had gentle southeasterly breeze is. Th`t has | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
been gathering the dust frol the Sahara desert, and it has bden | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
bringing pollutants from Europe and that mixes with the pollutants we | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
have at home. The good news is we will be seeing rain, and by the time | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
we will get to Friday, the `ir pollution should be back to normal. | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
Earlier, there was plenty of sunshine around, but quite ` bit | :24:34. | :24:39. | |

the time we get into Sunday. Pollution levels back to normal | :26:02. | :26:14. | |
The main news is that there have been high pollution levels `cross | :26:15. | :26:23. | |
the UK. A black female police constable has been taking t`king the | :26:24. | :26:31. | |
net to a tribunal. She says that Dave Kelly, from Sussex pointed his | :26:32. | :26:39. | |
fingers in her face while c`rrying a pistol. A bid to buy Manston Airport | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
has today been withdrawn. It comes during the on going consult`tion | :26:46. | :26:48. | |
over possible closure. Well many have you have been contacting us. | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
Gemma says that the Southeast needs another airport, hence why the Mayor | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
of London monster build one in the middle of the Thames. Why spend | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
billions on a new airport while millions could be spent on Lanston? | :27:02. | :27:08. | |
Another says that it does not make business or financial sense. If it | :27:09. | :27:16. | |
did, there would`be. Sarah says that Manston must stay open. Manston | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
airport has such potential, people should give it a chance. Dave says | :27:23. | :27:31. | |
it will end up with `` a big council estate. Another says that all | :27:32. | :27:38. | |
possible options should be kept open. Closure should not be an | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
option. That is it from us. We will see you later. Goodbye. | :27:44. | :27:47. |
