:01:10. > :01:15.Good evening. A Kent MP has tonight accused the owner of Manston Airport
:01:16. > :01:20.of "corporate vandalism" following an announcement that the site will
:01:21. > :01:23.close next week. Bosses say that they've "failed to find a viable
:01:24. > :01:27.alternative" to shutting Manston, but North Thanet MP Sir Roger Gale
:01:28. > :01:31.insists that an offer to buy the airport was both viable and
:01:32. > :01:34.credible. It's believed to be losing around ?10,000 a day and employs
:01:35. > :01:44.around 150 staff. Our news correspondent, Mark Norman, who
:01:45. > :01:48.broke the news today, now reports. A cargo plane landing at Manston
:01:49. > :01:53.this morning, possibly one of the last planes to use this historic
:01:54. > :02:00.runway before its closure next week. The owners told the staff this
:02:01. > :02:06.morning. It is very sad. A lot of people's livelihoods, a great shame.
:02:07. > :02:11.Staff are very disappointed. We thought offers were going then, what
:02:12. > :02:19.did they say about that? Apparently the offer was not credible. It is
:02:20. > :02:25.horrible. We got told later on. It is disgraceful. It has put the
:02:26. > :02:30.massive fleet safety impact upon the Hall of Kent. After two bits from
:02:31. > :02:34.the same company where rejected, a row has erupted between the company
:02:35. > :02:40.who own Manston who refused those of us, and the local MP who supports
:02:41. > :02:45.those beds. Given those circumstances, someone who says she
:02:46. > :02:49.wants to sell and is able to do so and another person who wants to buy,
:02:50. > :02:54.negotiations were taking place and if the airport was to close under
:02:55. > :02:58.these circumstances I would say that this corporate vandalism. After the
:02:59. > :03:03.yesterday's bid was rejected, the owners told us someone associated
:03:04. > :03:09.with the offer had consistently failed to substantiate proposals. To
:03:10. > :03:12.stay `` to D`day said in absence of other options the airport was going
:03:13. > :03:28.to be closed. As the two sides wrote, campaigners
:03:29. > :03:33.vowed to fight on. We will fight to reopen it if it does cause and we
:03:34. > :03:37.will not let this be made into anything but an airport. We believe
:03:38. > :03:43.that something can be done, it is not the end of the story, although
:03:44. > :03:51.it may look like it. But argue are fighting a campaign trying to find a
:03:52. > :03:54.bed, the relative is that the owners of Manston Airport believe they have
:03:55. > :03:56.not been given a credible or viable offer and the report will close a
:03:57. > :04:04.week on Thursday. Well, we can cross live now to Mark
:04:05. > :04:11.Norman who's in Maidstone. Why have there been problems getting the deal
:04:12. > :04:14.to go through? Here is someone with four or ?5 million and someone who
:04:15. > :04:20.wants to sell an airport, but unfortunately it is a much more
:04:21. > :04:23.complicated transaction. The bidders had met a number of offers
:04:24. > :04:27.previously which were all rejected with the final rejection yesterday
:04:28. > :04:33.so it has all gone wrong and we have a number of people who are angry and
:04:34. > :04:36.upset, not least the staff and the unique union today talked about this
:04:37. > :04:40.belief, shock and anger and the formal grievance procedure against
:04:41. > :04:44.the owners. Kent County Council on the sidelines, they now have to talk
:04:45. > :04:48.about a viable plan for jobs and have raised concerns about the
:04:49. > :04:52.economic regeneration for East Kent. I cannot see I knew offer coming
:04:53. > :04:58.along for the time being, Manston Airport well shot a week on
:04:59. > :05:01.Thursday. And later in the programme we'll be
:05:02. > :05:05.looking at the history of the airport and its place in the life of
:05:06. > :05:08.East Kent. The retrial has begun of a man
:05:09. > :05:11.accused of murdering his partner in Margate nine years ago. Dean
:05:12. > :05:14.Williams, now 51, strangled Mary Malkin in January 2005. He denies
:05:15. > :05:16.murder, but has admitted manslaughter, by reason of
:05:17. > :05:26.diminished responsibility. Jon Hunt reports.
:05:27. > :05:31.Mary Malkin was strangled to death in a flat in Margate by her partner
:05:32. > :05:37.Dean Williams. The following day he called police to tell them she was
:05:38. > :05:41.dead. This is Dean Williams he said. He said police had to break in and
:05:42. > :05:50.that she was dead. And another called the police operator asked,
:05:51. > :05:56.Dean Williams has pleaded not guilty to murder but guilty to
:05:57. > :05:59.manslaughter, has the fence will see he was suffering from alcohol
:06:00. > :06:04.dependency syndrome and suffered brain damage which impaired his
:06:05. > :06:08.mental responsibility, but the prosecution told the court Mr
:06:09. > :06:11.Williams was just a violent drunk. The jury was told that the Dean
:06:12. > :06:13.Williams had he has the fence will see he was suffering from alcohol
:06:14. > :06:15.dependency syndrome and suffered brain damage which impaired his
:06:16. > :06:17.mental responsibility, but the prosecution told the court Mr
:06:18. > :06:20.Williams was just a violent drunk. The jury was told that the Dean
:06:21. > :06:22.Williams had a history of violence against women. It is claimed he had
:06:23. > :06:25.been violence towards his former partner and there are allegations
:06:26. > :06:27.that he had tried to suffer Mary Malkin before. At the time of her
:06:28. > :06:34.cabin, he was on bail having been charged for an assault on her just
:06:35. > :06:47.weeks later. Prosecuting, it was said colon ``...
:06:48. > :07:00.The trial is expected to last two weeks.
:07:01. > :07:16.We will look at how the closure of Manston Airport brings a century of
:07:17. > :07:19.aviation at this age to an end. A controversial company that's
:07:20. > :07:22.created a 14,000`tonne tower of recycling waste just a few yards
:07:23. > :07:25.from people's homes has been in the High Court today. Waste4Fuel
:07:26. > :07:28.collects rubbish from across the South East. The Environment Agency
:07:29. > :07:31.has taken them to court for allegedly failing to comply with an
:07:32. > :07:34.order to remove all flammable waste from the site near Orpington. Our
:07:35. > :07:42.reporter Ellie Price is at the High Court now. Ellie, I understand the
:07:43. > :07:46.court heard it's a big fire risk? The judge was told that the fire
:07:47. > :07:53.service had been called 13 times over the period of 12 months and
:07:54. > :07:58.that had cost the Fire Service ?300,000 not to mention the rest of
:07:59. > :08:04.the cost to the environment and the locals. It was said that it was
:08:05. > :08:08.prone to spontaneous fires and therefore there should be fire
:08:09. > :08:11.breaks. While the court accepted that some effort had been made to
:08:12. > :08:15.make that happen, they said not enough had been done to make that
:08:16. > :08:19.happen and are there for a bigger fires were more likely and they were
:08:20. > :08:28.difficult to put out. The company, Waste4Fuel, they were accused of
:08:29. > :08:30.ignoring an order to remove combustible materials and limit the
:08:31. > :08:35.amount of waste coming in wildly sorted out the problem.
:08:36. > :08:42.Local residents from the area were also in court. Well, Polly, the site
:08:43. > :08:45.itself is right next to a residential area and local people
:08:46. > :08:51.told us last week they were worried about safety, pollution as well as
:08:52. > :08:55.the smell of the site. The court heard studios at the other 12,000
:08:56. > :09:02.tonnes of waste at the site and the local banks `` locals think that was
:09:03. > :09:07.too much. The case will continue over the next few days.
:09:08. > :09:11.A group of eight teenagers have been giving restraining orders after
:09:12. > :09:16.making the life of an elderly couple health. CCTV footage, the gang
:09:17. > :09:20.including one girl as young as 13 banging on Windows and getting an
:09:21. > :09:30.apron store. All eight admitted harassing the pensioners at
:09:31. > :09:33.Folkestone magistrates' court. A new security scanner is being
:09:34. > :09:36.trialled at Gatwick Airport, which may eventually allow passengers to
:09:37. > :09:39.bring larger volumes of liquid on board planes. At the moment
:09:40. > :09:42.passengers can only carry liquids in 100ml containers. The new machine
:09:43. > :09:45.uses lasers to scan the contents of bottles and can tell the difference
:09:46. > :09:48.between water and liquids which could be used to make bombs. The
:09:49. > :09:51.trial will last two years. Concerns about the impact of any
:09:52. > :09:55.takeover of Pfizer by Astra Zeneca have been raised in the commons by
:09:56. > :09:58.South Thanet MP Laura Sandys. She sought assurance from the government
:09:59. > :10:10.that the remaining Pfizer jobs on the Sandwich site would be safe. She
:10:11. > :10:13.played a constructive role when the redundancies were announced and
:10:14. > :10:17.despite the large job losses, there is still a significant presence on
:10:18. > :10:23.the site to which she refers and indeed, the securing of that
:10:24. > :10:25.continued presence which is a substance are one and the
:10:26. > :10:33.decision`making would be a key part of any future discussion we have
:10:34. > :10:36.with the company. Mental health services in Kent and
:10:37. > :10:40.Sussex are among the most stretched in the England with new figures
:10:41. > :10:43.showing a huge rise in the number of people being sent to a different
:10:44. > :10:46.county for urgent treatment, up elevenfold. Figures obtained by the
:10:47. > :10:50.BBC show that three years ago, 20 people had to leave Kent for
:10:51. > :10:54.treatment ` the latest figure is now 334. In Sussex, three years ago, 28
:10:55. > :10:57.patients were sent to other parts of the country, but last year that
:10:58. > :11:03.number had risen to 227. Health bosses say it's a deep rooted,
:11:04. > :11:06.complex problem. One of the reasons that we believe we are seeing
:11:07. > :11:10.extensive lengths of stay in hospital which means we're having to
:11:11. > :11:14.use beds out of area because our own beds are full is because people do
:11:15. > :11:19.not have access to the support and the committee that they are just too
:11:20. > :11:22.and therefore they are having to stay Well, this follows two recent
:11:23. > :11:25.cases we've highlighted on our programme: in hospital Lisa Inkin
:11:26. > :11:29.killed herself in West London in April 2013 ` her mother claims she
:11:30. > :11:31.may have survived if she'd had access to mental health treatment
:11:32. > :11:34.closer to home in Medway. Whilst the work at the alternatives.
:11:35. > :11:37.Kirsty Clark from Sittingbourne was told she might have to travel to
:11:38. > :11:41.Brighton for treatment when there was a bed crisis ` her father says
:11:42. > :11:43.her journey to hospital in Dartford is already too far.
:11:44. > :11:46.And sending patients to different trusts for treatments is expensive,
:11:47. > :11:51.costing our health trusts ?6.1 million last year.
:11:52. > :11:54.Well, our reporter John Young has been looking at the figures and
:11:55. > :11:58.joins us now from Sussex Partnership Trust's offices in Hove. John, it
:11:59. > :12:05.seems this news is causing some tension politically?
:12:06. > :12:11.It certainly does, Rob, I have been speaking to people today and the
:12:12. > :12:14.problems are loud and clear. The image of mental health problems,
:12:15. > :12:18.there is a stigma attached, the people who run it will say there is
:12:19. > :12:22.a stigma and that means the money will likely go to cancer charities
:12:23. > :12:26.or those supporting the health of children. There is also a conflict
:12:27. > :12:29.with government policy, the government wants communities and
:12:30. > :12:34.voluntary groups to help out so that people do not have to go to
:12:35. > :12:38.hospitals and the first place but charities and councils are
:12:39. > :12:44.struggling because of cuts. Firstly, many people with mental health
:12:45. > :12:47.problems use social housing and are on benefits and there have been
:12:48. > :12:52.changes to both of those with the likes of the bedroom tax, call it
:12:53. > :12:58.what you will. A cocktail of problems, the government and the NHS
:12:59. > :13:01.are trying to solve them. The Care and Support Minister,
:13:02. > :13:04.Norman Lamb, has told the BBC that it's "unacceptable" if patients have
:13:05. > :13:06.to travel "hundreds of miles" for treatment.
:13:07. > :13:09.Some health bosses and charities on the ground, though, say part of the
:13:10. > :13:21.problem is the reorganisations the government itself has introduced.
:13:22. > :13:25.Our top story, a Kent MP has accused the owner of Manston Airport of
:13:26. > :13:28.corporate vandalism after an announcement that the site will
:13:29. > :13:33.close next week. Bosses say they have failed to find a viable
:13:34. > :13:36.alternative to shutting Manston. Sir Roger Gale says an offer to buy the
:13:37. > :13:43.airport was both viable and credible.
:13:44. > :13:47.Coming up call on people moving into conservative areas are more likely
:13:48. > :13:50.to become police themselves regardless of their background.

:14:21. > :14:25.Today marks the 20th anniversary of the opening of the Channel Tunnel
:14:26. > :14:29.with celebrations both here and in France. It went a huge ?4 billion
:14:30. > :14:32.over budget, and has had to survive a major fire and the threat of
:14:33. > :14:41.bankruptcy. But it is now regarded as a success ` last year carrying an
:14:42. > :14:45.extraordinary 20 million people. But, even so, there are those who
:14:46. > :14:47.question if it has ever brought the economic regeneration to Kent that
:14:48. > :14:52.was promised. Ian Palmer has tonight's special report.
:14:53. > :14:57.The moment it became more than just a pet dream. Engineers from opposite
:14:58. > :15:02.sides of the Channel join Britain on the continent for the first time
:15:03. > :15:07.since the ice age. The channel was opened by Her Majesty since then
:15:08. > :15:12.millions of people have passed through since its inauguration 20
:15:13. > :15:15.years ago. It is a great achievement, we have had tough
:15:16. > :15:22.times, we have had financial difficulties, but the Conall has
:15:23. > :15:26.always been a great success. The Transport Minister for France
:15:27. > :15:30.attended the ceremony at the headquarters of Eurotunnel. After
:15:31. > :15:33.the speech, he praised the Anglo`French team and told the BBC
:15:34. > :15:40.both countries were stronger because of the pelmet went. It is a great
:15:41. > :15:46.opportunity for both of our countries. It is a success story,
:15:47. > :15:51.above all it is the way both of our economies have come closer and work
:15:52. > :15:55.more effectively. The past 20 years the tunnel is the successful
:15:56. > :15:59.realisation of what has been dreamt about for centuries. The Channel
:16:00. > :16:03.Tunnel is recognised as being perhaps one of the seven wonders of
:16:04. > :16:09.the world, the most important civil engineering project over the past
:16:10. > :16:16.100 years. This exhibition is in recognition of that achievement.
:16:17. > :16:20.Building work began in 1987, by the time the Conall open for business,

:16:27. > :16:32.optimistic and they do was crippled by future debt. Two days ago it
:16:33. > :16:36.began making a profit. Critics say it has failed to deliver on its
:16:37. > :16:40.promises and a report by the Institute of economic affairs says
:16:41. > :16:45.it has failed to regenerate East Kent as much as was predicted. It
:16:46. > :16:51.has underperformed in terms of the rest of the UK with problems in
:16:52. > :16:56.Thanet with double employment levels around 61%. This was not the view of
:16:57. > :17:03.those gathered in France or the view of the local MP for Folkestone and
:17:04. > :17:08.height. It has led to more business investment, great job creation that
:17:09. > :17:12.we would have otherwise have seen and a rise in wages and that comes

:18:11. > :18:15.Created from prime agricultural land during the First World War, Manston
:18:16. > :18:21.became an airfield in 1916. Now it appears it will fail to reach its
:18:22. > :18:30.centenary, but it has used setbacks as intruders before. It was used to
:18:31. > :18:36.begin with but then it became a bit dangerous. Purely on the basis that
:18:37. > :18:40.they did not have time to adjust so the RAF wanted to move away, it was
:18:41. > :18:44.used mainly for planes that were in trouble and to rearm and refuel.
:18:45. > :18:49.They wanted to close the airport but they left it open so that people
:18:50. > :18:56.around there did not feel they had been left. 60 years on that is what
:18:57. > :19:00.has happened. And the 1950s the Americans were based at Manston 40
:19:01. > :19:06.years, they brought a transatlantic glamour to the squalor of Kent in
:19:07. > :19:12.the midst of the Cold War. The Americans were spending a lot of
:19:13. > :19:17.money in the town at the time. Around ?1 million per month. They
:19:18. > :19:23.were very popular with the local female population because they had
:19:24. > :19:28.more money than our boys that. For that reason a lot of girls married
:19:29. > :19:33.Americans and went back to America. Some of them come over in the summer
:19:34. > :19:38.to see the irregulations. Holidays in Spain were no longer the preserve
:19:39. > :19:42.of the jet set and by the 70s and 80s the big boys of Heathrow and
