That's all from the team here in Glasgow. | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
Good evening. You can | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
There's been a dramatic surge in the number of sexual abuse cases | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
Figures obtained exclusively by BBC South East reveal that | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
Kent Police logged more than 2,000 cases ` that's a rise of 56% ` | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
It's thought the increase follows high profile cases of abuse carried | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
Tonight, one man who was abused as a child says that the recent publicity | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
High profile abusers being exposed for the crimes. Days rarely going by | :00:34. | :00:53. | |
without offence is hitting the headlines. It is giving victims more | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
confidence to come forward. Two years ago this man was still keeping | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
the abuse he suffered aged nine a secret from everyone. Now, having | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
sought help, he is speaking on television. People are now feeling | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
more confident that they can come forward and disclose their | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
experiences without fear of being chastised by society or being | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
treated as some sort of private because they are starting to realise | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
that it is not their fault. These paedophiles are very clever people. | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
Figures obtained by us show that Kent Police recorded more than 2,200 | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
sexual offences in the past financial year. That is compared | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
with more than 1,400 the year before. | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
In Sussex just over 1,500 serious sexual offences were logged last | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
year, an increase of 24% on the previous year. | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
Increased reporting has seen referrals to support services go to. | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
This facility has seen the number of people they are helping almost | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
double in the last year. There is so much publicity | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
surrounding sexual assault these days that people can either not | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
escape from it any longer, so perhaps things that have been boxed | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
up for many years are now refusing to stay boxed, but also | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
significantly I think people feel that they have `` will be heard and | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
believed. The offences of the likes of Jimmy | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
Savile and others have shocked the country. And seeing justice being | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
done has empowered more survivors to break their silence. `` but seeing | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
justice being done. A jury has been shown dramatic CCTV | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
footage of the moment before a Portuguese man was attacked | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
and left with serious head injuries 23`year`old Daniel Palmer, | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
who's from the town, Joao Esteves was found | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
in an alleyway. Lord Howard, the former MP | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
for Folkestone and Hythe and one time Conservative Party leader, has | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
today launched a campaign to reduce the number of terminally ill people | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
dying in hospital, saying they should instead be allowed to | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
"die with dignity" in their own Around 250,000 people die | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
in hospital each year, Lord Howard wants to reduce that | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
number by a fifth, or 50,000 people, which he believes would not only | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
lead to better targeted care, Our political editor Louise Stewart | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
reports. Hospital wards like this should be | :03:25. | :03:48. | |
the last resort at the end of somebody's life, not the first, | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
according to Lord Howard. He is now leading the help for | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
hospices campaign which wants to work with the NHS to help terminally | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
ill people who want to leave the wards. For many people who die in | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
hospital at the moment there is no clinical need for them to be there. | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
They need palliative care, and hospitals at their to cure and | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
mend, not `` they are not really great at palliative care. So we | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
think it would be better if it could be arranged for people who want to | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
die at home or in a hospice to do so. | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
Figures suggest more than 80% of the public would prefer to die at home | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
or in a hospice, but only a fifth of hospital sites have access to | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
face`to`face palliative care every day. The campaign is calling for | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
half ?1 million to fund it `` fund six pilot schemes. | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
If they wish to die at home or in a hospice that should be able to | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
happen for them, but we need the right resources in the community. If | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
this is a case of saving the NHS are a lot of money, Iniesta be | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
redirected so that those people get the support they need `` it needs to | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
be. Many elderly people also back the | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
right to choose. Given the choice I would prefer to stay at home if I | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
have the care. If you have a carer at home, `` if you don't have a | :05:22. | :05:30. | |
carer, the hospice is the thing. They should be able to choose for | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
their last remaining years. Lord Howard says he would like to | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
spend his final days at his home in Kent. He hopes this campaign will | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
help many others to have a choice when it comes to the end of their | :05:45. | :05:45. | |
life. Almost 500 motorists were | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
breathalysed last month during a crackdown | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
on drink`driving by Kent police. Additional patrols stopped anyone | :05:51. | :05:51. | |
they suspected of driving under In total 156 people were arrested | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
for drink`drive related offences. Faversham and | :05:55. | :06:05. | |
Mid Kent MP Hugh Robertson, who left his position in the Foreign Office | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
in last week's government reshuffle, Two other former ministers | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
are also set to be knighted. The Prime Minister's been accused | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
of undermining the system by using The company that owns | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
a 20,000 tonne mountain of waste that towers over local homes could | :06:17. | :06:25. | |
be about to go into administration. Waste4Fuel stores rubbish | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
from several councils across Kent With temperatures getting close to | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
30 Celsius this summer, people living in the shadow | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
of the waste site say As temperatures rise, tempers saw. | :06:35. | :06:56. | |
This rubbish site looms over the houses. They were here first, and | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
their inhabitants have had enough. Total nightmare. We have loads of | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
dust blowing up, we have pollution of the lorries backing down, and we | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
have flyers, the odd rat running around. And the pile keeps igniting | :07:15. | :07:25. | |
and catching alight. The site is operated by Waste4Fuel, | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
which has been taken to court over this more than once. Earlier this | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
month the Environment Agency tried to get them to reduce the rubbish | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
here, but the High Court dismissed the case. All that stands is an | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
enforcement notice stopping them bringing more waste onto side. We | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
understand the frustrations, and we are doing everything we can to make | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
sure that Waste4Fuel take responsibility for the situation | :07:53. | :07:53. | |
they have created. That is unlikely though, | :07:54. | :08:19. | |
rubbish. Nobody seems to be able to help us | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
in any way. This afternoon the area's MP had a meeting with the | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
Environment Agency. He says the Environment Agency is | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
being grossly complacent, and the site is to be closed once and for | :08:33. | :08:40. | |
all. `` needs to be closed. | :08:41. | :08:49. | |
It stays very similar over the next | :08:50. | :08:51. |
