One we This put Gatwick on the table as the

:00:00.:00:22.

only deliverable option that remains.

:00:23.:00:24.

One of the biggest hospital trusts in the country is put in spdcial

measures because of "serious failures" in patient safety.

:00:28.:00:29.

We'll be asking the chief executive what is being done about it.

There will be no airport in the Thames Estuary but Gatwhck has

:01:01.:01:08.

made it on to the final shortlist for airport expansion, battling it

:01:09.:01:11.

out with Heathrow as to where an extra runway will be built.

:01:12.:01:15.

The Airports Commission announced its final shortlist this morning,

:01:16.:01:19.

and for people on the Isle of Grain campaigning against Boris Johnson's

:01:20.:01:22.

estuary airport, the news is being welcomed.

:01:23.:01:24.

But as our Political Editor Louise Stewart reports, the Mayor of London

:01:25.:01:27.

After years of speculation `nd controversy over whether a new four

:01:28.:01:42.

runway hub airport should bd built here, in the Thames Street, the

:01:43.:01:45.

airports commission has now ruled it out. The risks of the project are

:01:46.:01:51.

immense. There is the challdnge of moving a huge airport, becatse

:01:52.:01:55.

Heathrow would have to closd, 7 miles across a major city, loving

:01:56.:02:00.

the staff etc, which we think is awe`inspiring as a project. There

:02:01.:02:07.

are severe environmental heroes ` hurdles to overcome. Also, the costs

:02:08.:02:12.

are very large. Today, camp`igners have celebrated the decision which

:02:13.:02:15.

they have spent years fighthng. They say they are still not taking

:02:16.:02:18.

anything for granted. Absolttely delighted. I think we should feel

:02:19.:02:27.

sorry for those people that live around Gatwick and Heathrow. For

:02:28.:02:31.

them, the battle goes on. I'm not even sure that the bottle. For us.

:02:32.:02:35.

In a few years time, it will raise its head again. Today's announcement

:02:36.:02:41.

brings an end to decades of uncertainty. The first proposals

:02:42.:02:46.

were made in the 1940s. In the 1970s, the government planndd a new

:02:47.:02:51.

airport of the Essex coast but it was abandoned. Then, Alan proposal

:02:52.:02:57.

was thrown out in 2003. A jtdicial review was launched in 2004.

:02:58.:03:03.

Conservationists see the effect could be devastating. Those 300 000

:03:04.:03:07.

birds that come here would have been displaced and I think the

:03:08.:03:11.

populations would have been decimated. That is why it w`s

:03:12.:03:15.

completely unacceptable and unsustainable. But the schele wasn't

:03:16.:03:19.

without its supporters. You've got to think of the unemployed `nd the

:03:20.:03:24.

younger people. It would have brought work to them. I can

:03:25.:03:28.

understand people with their views of not building. All the wildlife

:03:29.:03:33.

and everything. But you've got to think of the future. And thd

:03:34.:03:36.

decision is clearly a major setback for the Mayor of London Borhs

:03:37.:03:41.

Johnson but he is undeterred. It will become obvious that if you want

:03:42.:03:46.

a hub and you cannot keep expanding Heathrow, you're going to h`ve to go

:03:47.:03:53.

back to that option. It took in 120 years to build a tunnel. Thhs thing

:03:54.:03:57.

will take a while. It is cldar a hub airport will not be built in the

:03:58.:04:02.

Thames estuary. What is not clear is how the government will resolve the

:04:03.:04:04.

UK's lack of core capacity. And Louise is in Westminster

:04:05.:04:08.

for us now. Louise, so how much longer do

:04:09.:04:10.

our politicians need to makd a This long`running saga is not going

:04:11.:04:19.

to end any time soon becausd we know the commission isn't going to report

:04:20.:04:23.

back until after the next gdneral election. Business is becomhng

:04:24.:04:28.

increasingly frustrated. I think this is such a political hot potato

:04:29.:04:32.

that no politician wants to firmly back any scheme because it risks

:04:33.:04:37.

alienating voters. So they've put it off until after 2015. Even then

:04:38.:04:42.

whoever forms the next government is not bound by the commission's

:04:43.:04:50.

findings. The final decision will be made by the politicians who hold the

:04:51.:04:53.

power base here. So the Davies Commission has

:04:54.:04:55.

rejected the idea of a Now the spotlight turns fully

:04:56.:04:57.

on Gatwick. A second runway at the Sussdx

:04:58.:05:00.

airport is one of three proposals that will be

:05:01.:05:04.

considered, alongside with creating a third runway at Heathrow, or

:05:05.:05:07.

extending one of the existing ones. Our reporter Mark Sanders is

:05:08.:05:10.

at Gatwick. Mark,

:05:11.:05:11.

what's been the reaction thdre? Gatwick says it has the strongest

:05:12.:05:26.

case to expand and this is now just a straight fight between thhs

:05:27.:05:32.

airport and Heathrow. Boris airport has been discounted. If a sdcond

:05:33.:05:40.

runway is recommended, therd will no doubt be strong opposition. We must

:05:41.:05:43.

decide on the location of the runway and decide on the infrastructure,

:05:44.:05:49.

roads and... Are you looking at the future? This is what Gatwick wants,

:05:50.:05:54.

a second runway to the south of the existing one. The UK's

:05:55.:05:57.

second`biggest airport is now looking to take on its biggdst

:05:58.:06:03.

rival. This now becomes a ddbate where we will either see an

:06:04.:06:06.

additional runway at Gatwick or Heathrow. The advantages of

:06:07.:06:10.

Gatwick, the only deliverable solution, is it will ease the

:06:11.:06:15.

pressure on Heathrow, freeing up spare hub capacity at Heathrow while

:06:16.:06:20.

enabling Gatwick to grow. G`twick says it can build an extra runway

:06:21.:06:25.

for just under ?8 billion, half the cost of one at Heathrow, it claims.

:06:26.:06:30.

Although a legal agreement leans no second runway can be built before

:06:31.:06:34.

2019 at Gatwick, the airport says a new runway could be ready bx 20 5.

:06:35.:06:40.

But one group opposed to Gatwick expanding says a second runway is

:06:41.:06:47.

not needed, nor wanted. Certainly, we've got a fight on our hands. The

:06:48.:06:51.

Gatwick area conservation c`mpaign has existed for 40 years or so. We

:06:52.:06:54.

have defeated three previous attempts and we can defeat this

:06:55.:06:59.

fourth one as well. The ide` of building a new runway in thd

:07:00.:07:02.

overcrowded Southeast is a nonsense. Gatwick claims getting a

:07:03.:07:05.

second runway would deliver more economic benefits that expansion at

:07:06.:07:11.

Heathrow. It means more jobs. These were some of the views we found

:07:12.:07:18.

Where else are they going to put it? Heathrow is big enough, isn't it?

:07:19.:07:23.

Other than that, you've got to go to Stansted. I think it's a good idea.

:07:24.:07:28.

I think the locals probably are against it and I can understand

:07:29.:07:31.

that. If you live under the flight path, it is not pleasant. Btt it is

:07:32.:07:40.

bound to be economically better It's bound to be good for the local

:07:41.:07:45.

economy, all the hotels and shops in the area. This is where any second

:07:46.:07:49.

runway at Gatwick would be built. Now the airport's claim it should be

:07:50.:07:55.

chosen will have to stand up to student Jenny ` scrutiny.

:07:56.:08:02.

Heathrow claims in effect G`twick isn't the job to become a m`jor

:08:03.:08:07.

international hub airport. Ht's a sign perhaps the intense lobbying

:08:08.:08:10.

and competition there will be over the next few months between Gatwick

:08:11.:08:15.

and Heathrow as they tried to influence the final recommendation.

:08:16.:08:17.

Well, we want to know what you thhnk.

:08:18.:08:19.

Is it the correct decision to dismiss the idea of an airport in

:08:20.:08:22.

the Thames estuary, increashng the possibility of a two`runway Gatwick?

hospitals after the critical inspection of the William H`rvey

can. Sometimes they don't. They miss things. It's important. I don't

:09:47.:09:52.

think this hospital can do that The regulator has acted after a recent

:09:53.:09:56.

inspection by the Care Qualhty Commission. It found patient safety

was affected by low staffing levels at the hospitals. Concerns were

raised about bullying. Formdr answer patient care and quit in June as a

:10:10.:10:15.

brilliant. It kept me alive for 33 years. I have every faith in them.

:10:16.:10:21.

But management and the link between the management and staff has fallen

:10:22.:10:25.

down. I have argued with thd trust over some of the performancd results

:10:26.:10:30.

and they haven't listened. The trust says it is in the process of

:10:31.:10:35.

recruiting 69 extra nurses `nd taking on more surgeons. It is

:10:36.:10:39.

drawing up an action plan that it will see it removed from spdcial

:10:40.:10:44.

measures as quickly as posshble In a statement, the current governors

:10:45.:10:50.

talk of their surprise and disappointment at the Care Puality

:10:51.:10:52.

Commission's very negative 's findings, claiming its ratings are

:10:53.:10:59.

misleading in several areas and the evidence is limited. Many p`tients

:11:00.:11:03.

today praised the treatment. My experience here is very good. I had

cancer. I had to halve the kidney taken away. This is my third year.

Chief Executive of the East Kent Thank you for being with us this

evening. It's a serious sittation verse. It's absolutely damnhng

criticism. A concerning divhde between management and staff,

findings over concerns over staff harassment and bullying,

:12:34.:12:36.

insufficient numbers of appropriately trained staff. Damning

:12:37.:12:42.

stuff. Good evening. First, can I say that along with most of the rest

:12:43.:12:46.

of the NHS, particularly in Kent, we've seen large increases hn the

:12:47.:12:50.

number of patients coming to us We recognised that as a trust `nd we

:12:51.:12:55.

have put in place recruitment campaigns and funded additional ?3

:12:56.:12:59.

million worth of nurses. 55 of those nurses are now already in posts

:13:00.:13:09.

since the queues... We've h`d difficulties retaining some of our

:13:10.:13:14.

consultants. We've recruited for new surgical consultants. These go a

:13:15.:13:17.

long way to addressing some of the issues which the CQC were rhghtly

:13:18.:13:21.

concerned about in relation to staffing levels and safety

:13:22.:13:24.

associated with that. It gods a long way to addressing some of those

:13:25.:13:29.

issues but it doesn't go a long way to addressing issues such as

:13:30.:13:33.

bullying and harassment. It says the staff engagement score is alongst

:13:34.:13:36.

the worst 20% of trusts in the country and that staff are contacted

:13:37.:13:44.

directly on numerous occasions. You are the man in charge of th`t

:13:45.:13:51.

culture. Yes and that is of concern to us. We've been meeting whth staff

:13:52.:13:55.

and asking them why they fedl that and what exactly they would wish to

:13:56.:14:01.

see done differently. I think there is undoubtedly a view among our

:14:02.:14:04.

staff applications within the trust could be a lot better. They don t

:14:05.:14:09.

always understand why some of the priorities of the trust, whhch are

:14:10.:14:14.

driven towards providing good care, rapid access to patients and so on,

:14:15.:14:18.

impact them in the way it does. But I would say that the key CQC's

:14:19.:14:24.

report highlighted the very high quality delivered across all eight

:14:25.:14:29.

areas they inspected in all three of our hospitals and that we rdmain a

:14:30.:14:32.

hospital with a 20% lower mortality rate than the average of England,

:14:33.:14:40.

with very good infection control procedures and excellent outcomes in

:14:41.:14:46.

our surgery. The patient experience and the impact of the treatlents

:14:47.:14:49.

have been positive in this hospital for a number of years and rdmain so.

:14:50.:14:58.

Briefly and finally, all thhs has been happening on your watch. Are

:14:59.:15:05.

you considering your position? Well, I had already announced the fact I

was retiring from personal reasons was retiring from personal reasons

:15:10.:15:11.

in the spring, before the CPC came. The trust is already in the process

:15:12.:15:15.

of looking for a new chief executive. That recruitment process

:15:16.:15:18.

will hopefully bring a new person in to run the trust from January of

Farage "has had words with Janice" and say he accepted that shd very

Joseph Williams is on trial charged with attempted murddr,

Conor Huntley had only moved into the slap the day before he was

attacked. The defendant was already living here and there was a sparing.

:17:12.:17:16.

It was said in court that they were not obvious flatmates. , Huntley

:17:17.:17:20.

wore women's clothes and was openly gay. The other man had made

:17:21.:17:25.

disparaging remarks about g`y people. On the morning after their

:17:26.:17:30.

flatshare started, Williams ran 909, telling the police operator, I don't

:17:31.:17:34.

know how to say this but he is dead in my flat. Asked who was ddad, he

:17:35.:17:39.

said, I don't know his name but I did it. The operator asked, what

:17:40.:17:43.

have you done that makes yot think is you've killed him? Willi`ms

:17:44.:17:47.

replied, I hit him on the hdad with a hammer in his sleep. But when

:17:48.:17:54.

police arrived,, Huntley was still alive. The jury was shown the exact

:17:55.:17:57.

type of hammer used. He was struck so hard it had become embedded in

:17:58.:18:03.

his skull. Joseph Williams `dmits carrying out the attack but denies

it was attempted murder. Thd trial continues tomorrow.

first day at school, she wasn't tested enough and her blood sugars

:18:53.:18:57.

plummeted. When I collected her she was in a hyperglycaemic state. When
