:01:29. > :01:33.the company Waste4Fuel Ltd had planned to ship the estimatdd 2 500
:01:34. > :01:37.tonnes of processed rubbish at the dockside to waste`to`energy
:01:38. > :01:41.incinerator plants in Europd. It's the the same company that, as
:01:42. > :01:44.we're recently reported, already has a 40`foot mound of waste collected
:01:45. > :01:47.from across the South East towering over residential homes in
:01:48. > :01:51.Orpington. But the export
:01:52. > :01:53.in Chatham hasn't happened, and that waste is now classdd as
:01:54. > :01:56.unlawful. Our environment correspondent,
:01:57. > :02:11.Yvette Austin, Awaiting disposal, this hugd heap of
:02:12. > :02:16.bales piled high is waste, processed for burning to generate energy. But
:02:17. > :02:20.it has been waiting on the dockside for over a year now and somd of the
:02:21. > :02:25.white plastic wrapping is splitting, spilling contents onto the ground.
:02:26. > :02:29.The bales were due to be exported to waste`to`energy plants abro`d, but
:02:30. > :02:34.so far, Waste4Fuel Ltd, who brought it here, has not moved it. The
:02:35. > :02:37.Environment Agency says if waste like this is stored in a dockside
:02:38. > :02:42.for more than three months without a permit, it is illegal and lhke the

:03:02. > :03:02.estimated at more than ?2 mhllion. It could make my father go bankrupt.
:03:03. > :03:05.We would have nothing. We were told, if you close those
:03:06. > :03:08.gates, it is your responsibhlity. I said, my father had nothing to do
:03:09. > :03:10.with that, he has entered into an agredment in
:03:11. > :03:13.good faith and is lending ott his land, and they have not
:03:14. > :03:28.policed it. And there is more waste at Chatham
:03:29. > :03:31.Docks, pile after pile. The bales stacked high and many also split
:03:32. > :03:39.open. These belong to a different company, Street Fuel Ltd, which also
:03:40. > :03:42.exports processed wasteful burning. The Environment Agency is
:03:43. > :03:45.investigating whether the company is also breaching its environmdntal
:03:46. > :03:49.permit. Complaints have been made by local residents about a boulder of
:03:50. > :03:51.Wales over the summer and they want action taken to reduce it.
:03:52. > :03:52.This stockpile is growing. It is a problem.
:03:53. > :03:55.You can see the rubbish that blows over the place,
:03:56. > :03:57.we have grass coming out of the bales.
:03:58. > :03:59.It blows over the environment and attracts flies.

:04:11. > :04:17.and we are just saying to them, help us here, as you have bdfore.
:04:18. > :04:25.Street Fuel Ltd says the buhld`up has been caused by the late
:04:26. > :04:28.cancellation of a cargo ship you to operating difficulties. The problem
:04:29. > :04:36.has been compounded by the reduction of a transfer of waste to Etrope by
:04:37. > :04:40.lorries. The Company also s`ys it is minimising flies and famines and
:04:41. > :04:44.re`wrapping split bags. It hs not unusual for waste to be sent abroad,
:04:45. > :04:54.the export of processed rubbish from the UK has risen dramatically in
:04:55. > :05:00.recent years. In 2011, more than 2500 tonnes were exported. Hn 2 12,
:05:01. > :05:07.the figure rose to 890,000, and last year, it reached more than 0.5
:05:08. > :05:10.million. Some in the waste hndustry said the way to help avoid build`ups
:05:11. > :05:16.of rubbish would be to invest more in incinerator plants here, where
:05:17. > :05:20.rubbish is burned to generate electricity and heat for local
:05:21. > :05:22.communities. If it is being sent overseas, we will never havd the
:05:23. > :05:29.incentive to build UK infrastructure. On the conthnent,
:05:30. > :05:34.the integrate the plants into the local municipality. The acttally get
:05:35. > :05:36.the benefits of the energy `nd the heat. That is one reason whx there
:05:37. > :05:41.is more demand in the winter for is more demand in the winter for
:05:42. > :05:45.this exported fuel. And it hs no consolation for the likes of
:05:46. > :05:46.Genevieve Foster and her father whose lives remain blighted by
:05:47. > :05:47.rubbish. Well, let's cross live to Chatham
:05:48. > :05:50.and speak to Yvette Austin. What's the next step in this process
:05:51. > :06:00.of clearing this abandoned waste? Well, Street Fuel insists the
:06:01. > :06:04.problem is temporary and th`t lorry exports services will be back to
:06:05. > :06:08.normal by the end of the month. But a replacement ship will be sent in
:06:09. > :06:14.the first week of next month. In the meantime, residents, the colpany and
:06:15. > :06:19.other people will concerned `` company concerned will work together
:06:20. > :06:23.to improve matters. I have spoken to a former Director and current
:06:24. > :06:26.Director of Waste4Fuel Ltd, both cannot shed any light on wh`t is
:06:27. > :06:31.going to happen to the abandoned waste at Chatham, silly question
:06:32. > :06:34.hangs over who will shift it, and when. `` so, a question.
:06:35. > :06:37.The UKIP leader Nigel Faragd has for the first time confirmed he
:06:38. > :06:40.does want to stand in Thanet South in next year's General Election
:06:41. > :06:42.After months of speculation, Mr Farage said that he had put
:06:43. > :06:45.himself forward for selection in hustings that will take place
:06:46. > :06:49.A local party member revealdd that Mr Farage was on the shortlhst

:06:54. > :06:55.Our political reporter Ellid Price is in Thanet for us now.
:06:56. > :07:02.Ellie, you've been speaking to Mr Farage?
:07:03. > :07:12.Yes, he told me he was planning to throw his hat into the ring to be
:07:13. > :07:15.selected as a candidate. He said he would need the local party here to
:07:16. > :07:27.pick him out of eight candidates, but he must have a hope of winning
:07:28. > :07:31.that selection process. You do not have to be in rocket sciencd to work
:07:32. > :07:37.out that in constituencies like Thanet, Folkestone, Portsmotth,
:07:38. > :07:41.Plymouth, we do like to be beside the seaside. There are reasons other
:07:42. > :07:46.than the seaside why the UKHP leader would want to stand in Thandt South.
:07:47. > :07:51.The party got the most votes here at the local `` local elections and Mr
:07:52. > :07:56.Farage had already said he wanted to stand in his home county. Today the
:07:57. > :08:03.local party wasted no time campaigning in the constitudncy We
:08:04. > :08:07.are very democratic in the party. We have this antarctic selection
:08:08. > :08:12.system, and because of wherd we are, we have over 24 UKIP MEPs. We have
:08:13. > :08:17.people from other parties as well that have never stood beford here.
:08:18. > :08:21.Nigel Farage as her party of practice when it comes to standing
:08:22. > :08:27.in general elections. In 2001, he stood in Excel. 2005 was thd first
:08:28. > :08:34.time he tried for the Thanet South seat. In the last election, he ran a
:08:35. > :08:41.high profile and non`successful campaign against John Bercow. Polls
:08:42. > :08:46.have been conducted in Thandt that recently suggested they are if
:08:47. > :08:49.anything marginally ahead. Whatever to combat that it is pretty much a
:08:50. > :08:55.fight between the three main parties, so he clearly has ` chance.
:08:56. > :09:03.We will have to see what happens. It is a good idea. In terms of his
:09:04. > :09:08.support in this town. I think they are all liars. I do not think he
:09:09. > :09:13.will do any good. I don't know why he wants to stand here, he should go
:09:14. > :09:24.to a big city. I think it would be a good thing. We need a changd,
:09:25. > :09:26.definitely. Nigel Farage saxs he has a good chance of winning thd
:09:27. > :09:34.candidacy, but insists with UKIP members, nothing is ever for
:09:35. > :09:40.certain. To burrow his own analogy, hf he
:09:41. > :09:45.doesn't get selected, it cotld cause a political earthquake. The Labour
:09:46. > :09:51.Party said it does not distract them from their message to voters and the
:09:52. > :09:57.Conservative candidate said he was as surprised by the decision that he
:09:58. > :09:58.was surprised and said it could herald eight months of friendly

:10:19. > :10:22.is now completely full, meaning many are now living rough, in thd area
:10:23. > :10:26.known as the migrant 'jungld'. In an exclusive report, our home
:10:27. > :10:29.affairs reporter, Rebecca Whlliams, spoke to several women who told her
:10:30. > :10:32.that they're willing to risk their lives for the freedom

:10:58. > :11:04.husband, they will reap you. They rape a lot of women, and thdy are
:11:05. > :11:10.beating us, with the childrdn. We have a lot of problems. Who is

:11:21. > :11:24.route, they pass through thd volatile landscape of Sudan, then on
:11:25. > :11:29.to Libya and Italy. But thehr sights are set on Dover, because England,
:11:30. > :11:31.they say, is unlike other countries, a place of relighous
:11:32. > :11:36.freedom with a good education system. They claim many fridnds and
:11:37. > :11:43.family have already settled here. There are a lot of people who go to
:11:44. > :11:50.London, so they are telling us it is a free country, so, we need to go
:11:51. > :11:53.there. This is the only shelter for female migrants, and I have been
:11:54. > :11:58.granted exclusive access to film inside. 50 women live here, some
:11:59. > :12:05.have children, some are pregnant. There are so many women but not
:12:06. > :12:10.enough room for them in the single shelter provided. So, many `re now
:12:11. > :12:16.sleeping rough, alongside the men in what is known as the jungle. This is
:12:17. > :12:20.bad, but not as bad as what they have left behind in their own
:12:21. > :12:27.country. Some probably might have gone through a bit of prosthtution
:12:28. > :12:33.to pay for the trip. There `re an increasing number of teenagdrs Hill

:12:53. > :12:56.investigation revealed many hide on the axles of lorries crossing the
:12:57. > :13:00.border. Competition is fierce and the women in Calais told me they
:13:01. > :13:03.wait or might this is their opportunity. But the Home Office
:13:04. > :13:11.insists it is tackling illegal immigration. It is important that
:13:12. > :13:17.Italy, Greece and Spain provide asylum to cases of this sort. If
:13:18. > :13:23.they don't, France should grant asylum. What made women in Calais
:13:24. > :13:28.say many of the fans have already reached Dover illegally, hidden in

:21:14. > :21:17.charges around the world, btt tolerance is not always in
:21:18. > :21:25.abundance. I am very sorry to hear she has given in to the lie that she
:21:26. > :21:31.is a homosexual. My songs are being sung in churches, those words pay my
:21:32. > :21:34.rent and it has been made clear to me through messages that because I
:21:35. > :21:39.am no identifying as gay, pdople will stop using them in churches so
:21:40. > :21:43.I will stop getting royaltids. It is a tough choice, but an important
:21:44. > :21:48.one. It does seem to have encouraged young Christians who are get to see
:21:49. > :21:55.that it is possible to be g`y and Christian, that it is not stch a
:21:56. > :21:58.huge clash. So I think she has said that has been the most positive
:21:59. > :22:09.thing to come out of it. Whhle Vicky lived in Nashville, home has always
:22:10. > :22:12.been Canterbury. They told ts daily at school that girls really can
:22:13. > :22:17.dream about being whatever they want to be in life, and taking all ``
:22:18. > :22:26.taking on the world with cotrage and confidence. So it really helped me
:22:27. > :22:30.to be sure that I would. SINGING Vicky says she will stay in the
:22:31. > :22:38.church and hopes to change `ttitudes from within.
:22:39. > :22:40.Football, and all the South East's top teams
:22:41. > :22:43.are in action this weekend, with three playing at home for
:22:44. > :22:44.the first time in the Leagud this season.

:22:48. > :22:50.home defeat, with time runnhng out to add to their squad.
:22:51. > :22:52.Chris Solly could make his first start of the season
:22:53. > :22:55.Also in the Championship, Charlton take on Wigan.
:22:56. > :22:57.In League One, Crawley Town, who have won both their opening games
:22:58. > :23:06.of the season, play Swindon Town, and Gillingham take on Yeovhl.
:23:07. > :23:09.It could be Kent's answer to Stonehenge ` a 'sacred' path
:23:10. > :23:11.that may have led to a 6000`year`old henge has been discovered
:23:12. > :23:16.The ceremonial gathering pl`ce in the village of Iwade

:23:20. > :23:21.and is formed of a pair of ring ditches.
:23:22. > :23:24.Evidence suggests the outer ditch may have orhginated
:23:25. > :23:28.in the Neolithic period, and been later transformed in the Bronze Age
:23:29. > :23:40.Charlie Rose has been discovering more.
:23:41. > :23:47.A high`tech view of an ancidnt ceremonial gathering place.
:23:48. > :24:00.Archaeologists could hardly believe what they had uncovered. I thought,
:24:01. > :24:03.wow! Just over here, to my right, we have fuel systems which are you
:24:04. > :24:11.living. As far as I'm aware, nowhere else in the South East of England
:24:12. > :24:16.has anything like this. Doctor Wilkinson and his team were called
:24:17. > :24:20.here just before the constrtction of new homes. We are just entering the
:24:21. > :24:27.outer circle of this partictlar sacred monument. That particular
:24:28. > :24:35.one, this outer ring is new Lessig, dated by the pottery which we found.
:24:36. > :24:39.`` Neolithic. So we are now actually inside the Neolithic henge. It has
:24:40. > :24:45.been compared to Stonehenge in Wiltshire. We are getting to grips
:24:46. > :24:53.with the archaeology, the prehistoric archaeology of Kent
:24:54. > :24:58.which is fantastic. So, we lay not like all these houses going up in
:24:59. > :25:01.the landscape. It will not be long before homes are built here, now the

:25:09. > :25:14.them. Fascinating.
:25:15. > :25:18.I went for an early`morning run today, and it was a distinctly
