:00:10. > :00:14.As migrants storm the Port of Calais and try to board a ferry,
:00:15. > :00:16.we gain exclusive footage showing them climbing security fencds
:00:17. > :00:27.I'm astonished that the French authorities are not cooperating with
:00:28. > :00:32.us. We're live in the French Port
:00:33. > :00:34.tonight as concerns grow dax by day, and tonight we talk to
:00:35. > :00:37.a woman left terrified when she returned to Kent to find a lan had
:00:38. > :00:41.stowed away in the back of her car. Also in tonight's programme. Thrown
:00:42. > :00:43.off a bus because her toddler was cryhng the
:00:44. > :00:58.mother angry after she and her The Faversham teenager alre`dy
:00:59. > :01:08.famous for game of thrones, becoming an animated hero. And now the latest
:01:09. > :01:15.news, to be precise, an hour late. And, remembering a spike, a crowd
:01:16. > :01:20.gathers to unveil a statue of the legendary Sussex comedian.
:01:21. > :01:23.Exclusive footage taken by BBC South East in Calais shows
:01:24. > :01:31.migrants scaling 5 metre security fencing inside the passport
:01:32. > :01:36.area of the port, where UK`destined trucks wait after having passed
:01:37. > :01:40.The situation has been branded astonishing by Keith Vaz on the
:01:41. > :01:43.Yesterday scores of people `ttempted to board a ferry by
:01:44. > :01:47.the mooring ropes, and the Layor of Calais threatened to shut the port
:01:48. > :01:52.Our Special Correspondent Colin Campbell is in Calais. Tenshons
:01:53. > :02:10.They are, Rob. For years, mhgrants have been trying to get across the
:02:11. > :02:16.Channel to England. Yesterd`y, it came to a head, 80 migrants rushed
:02:17. > :02:21.into the port and tried to board ferries heading to Dover. Non`were
:02:22. > :02:27.successful, the ferries raised their ramps and the migrants were rounded
:02:28. > :02:31.up by police. This port is now under constant threat from migrants are
:02:32. > :02:38.desperate to reach our shords. Pictures that we have gained show
:02:39. > :02:43.precisely how they have been getting in. Sprinting into Calais port
:02:44. > :02:49.issued by French police. Thhs is the moment scores of migrants stormed
:02:50. > :02:56.the terminal. Filmed by a British driver, the footage shows French
:02:57. > :03:02.security overwhelmed. Those who took part say it was an act of
:03:03. > :03:21.desperation we ran across the road to get to the
:03:22. > :03:31.Calais's local authorities `ccept they are being overwhelmed. 50, 60,
:03:32. > :03:36.80 policemen can't stop hundreds of migrants. That is very complicated.
:03:37. > :03:43.It shows they have nothing to lose any more. These migrants ard trying
:03:44. > :03:49.to climb their way into the UK. Happening in a broad daylight it is
:03:50. > :03:54.audacious, and also a significant security breach. Once insidd, the
:03:55. > :04:01.migrants are in a part of the port where trucks have already undergone
:04:02. > :04:06.security checks. We haven't seen this before in a daylight, this is
:04:07. > :04:14.astonishing footage that we need to show to the French and deal with as
:04:15. > :04:20.a matter of urgency. We witnessed six climb the fence. Once inside,
:04:21. > :04:26.migrants search with drugs they can hide beneath. Sometimes lorries
:04:27. > :04:29.moving onto waiting ferries. There are serious questions about
:04:30. > :04:36.security, it is obviously not adequate. Somebody needs to address
:04:37. > :04:41.that issue. 1300 migrants are expected to be in Calais, now it
:04:42. > :04:48.seems there is a more direct route in. Day and night migrants `re
:04:49. > :04:52.attempting to breach this pdrimeter fence. It is a vulnerable area,
:04:53. > :04:57.because the trucks that rest here have cleared customs and ard waiting
:04:58. > :05:07.to board ferries are destindd for the UK. The fence is monitored by
:05:08. > :05:13.CCTV, we also saw sniffer dogs after migrants had gained entry. @t night,
:05:14. > :05:17.we saw migrants gathered in the shadows, playing a game of cat and
:05:18. > :05:24.mouse with police, waiting for an opportunity to climb in. It is not
:05:25. > :05:28.known how many are succeeding. But when caught, we witnessed these two
:05:29. > :05:35.who were released and allowdd to return to the spot. You wanted to
:05:36. > :05:44.England? It yes you climbed the fence? Yes. As numbers swell in
:05:45. > :05:48.Calais, desperation is palp`ble Events in Calais have been
:05:49. > :05:50.escalating in recent months. In May, French police began
:05:51. > :05:52.expelling around 800 migrants from makeshift camps near the port
:05:53. > :05:55.after an outbreak of scabies. They claimed they'd have nowhere
:05:56. > :05:58.else to go and violent clashes at a food distribution centre
:05:59. > :06:01.in August lead to more than 50 And yesterday the Mayor of Calais
:06:02. > :06:05.warned that she would block the port unless Britain does more to control
:06:06. > :06:08.the number of illegal immigrants. Back to Colin in Calais,
:06:09. > :06:11.who's been following this story So we've seen migrants trying to
:06:12. > :06:15.board ferries via the mooring ropes and scaling really
:06:16. > :06:33.high fences. France There doesn't appear to be `ny
:06:34. > :06:37.foreseeable solution to the migrant crisis. The Calais authorithes feel
:06:38. > :06:42.as if they are being let down by the rest of Europe. They believd
:06:43. > :06:48.England, Italy, Greece, Spahn should be doing more to help out. The
:06:49. > :06:54.British government says it hs investing in strengthening security
:06:55. > :06:59.here. It says it has spent ?400 000 on fence security. It has invested
:07:00. > :07:05.in technology to detect stowaways on trucks. The migrants have one goal,
:07:06. > :07:09.to get to the UK soon. They believe they can have a better life in the
:07:10. > :07:11.UK then they can in France, convincing them otherwise it will be
:07:12. > :07:13.a difficult task. Although today's pictures show
:07:14. > :07:15.the new lengths migrants ard risking, the problem has exhsted
:07:16. > :07:18.in the French port for years. Sangatte was opened in 1999, which
:07:19. > :07:20.was designed to hold 900 refugees, The camp was closed in 2002
:07:21. > :07:25.following an agreement betwden But with the mayor threatenhng
:07:26. > :07:29.to blockade the port, tensions Joining us now from Westminster
:07:30. > :07:35.is the Labour Immigrations Mr Hanson,
:07:36. > :07:55.tensions are running high I think we need to look at the
:07:56. > :08:02.long`term issues. The long`term issues are people escaping from war
:08:03. > :08:07.zones, Africa, the Middle E`st. Where people are arriving in Calais,
:08:08. > :08:11.that is the end of the problem. There are people traffickers moving
:08:12. > :08:17.people across Europe, there are porous borders a long way from
:08:18. > :08:25.Cali. We need to work on my European colleagues. `` Calais. Will that
:08:26. > :08:31.just shift the problem? The problem is one that we need to work on with
:08:32. > :08:35.European partners. It is a problem for the UK authorities when people
:08:36. > :08:39.try to enter the UK illegally. It is a problem for the French whdn they
:08:40. > :08:45.are in France illegally, but it is also a problem for the Greeks,
:08:46. > :08:48.Italians and others. We need to deal with the people traffickers, getting
:08:49. > :08:56.money from refugees, charging them a fortune and then dumping thdm in
:08:57. > :09:01.places like Calais. Our report showed pictures of migrants scaling
:09:02. > :09:08.five metre fences in the port, we had the government will put ?50 ,000
:09:09. > :09:13.into that. The mouth Calais once 10 million euros. With Labour spend
:09:14. > :09:22.more on that? `` the mayor of Calais. We need to put resotrces
:09:23. > :09:27.into tackle the issue, we h`ve already put in sniffer dogs, we need
:09:28. > :09:37.to look at how to do that in a more effective way. Thank you, D`vid The
:09:38. > :09:39.issue, is far from over. We will report any issues.
:09:40. > :09:41.Today the situation in Calais was brought frighteningly
:09:42. > :09:43.close to home for a woman who lives near Dover.
:09:44. > :09:46.Sue Taber returned from a cross`channel trip to find that
:09:47. > :10:03.This is the space in the back of a car where a man is believed to have
:10:04. > :10:11.hidden for an hour and a half. Sua Taber travels from Calais `` Sue.
:10:12. > :10:24.But she didn't discover the tollway until she came home. `` stowaway. A
:10:25. > :10:31.man about my height got out of the car, he said or phone, orph`n. I
:10:32. > :10:39.said get away, and he ran. He was in my car the whole time, he could have
:10:40. > :10:45.done anything. Sue believes he speak into her car when her dog's
:10:46. > :10:51.passports were being inspected. It is a silly thing to say, lock your
:10:52. > :10:55.doors, but once you are in the compound, you think you are safe,
:10:56. > :11:00.that is not the case. Kent Police say they found a man who has now
:11:01. > :11:06.been transferred to the Homd Office, for them to take any further action.
:11:07. > :11:11.In recent months, there has been increasing concern about migrants's
:11:12. > :11:20.increasingly desperate attelpts to board vehicles to cross into the UK.
:11:21. > :11:28.In a moment, the woman who lost her sister and nephew in a crash is now
:11:29. > :11:35.demanding safety measures are put in place.
:11:36. > :11:37.A mother with two young children, one only 15`months`old,
:11:38. > :11:41.was forced to get off a bus because the driver said the noise of the
:11:42. > :11:44.Susan Tanner from New Romney says she felt
:11:45. > :11:47.They were on a Stagecoach service to Folkestone
:11:48. > :11:51.Although the company has now apologised, Miss Tanner says it
:11:52. > :12:07.Tommy and his family won't be getting a buzz any time soon after a
:12:08. > :12:15.driver got fed up with his crying as Tommy was coming down with ` cold.
:12:16. > :12:21.The bus driver pulled over the bus and asked if we need a time out He
:12:22. > :12:27.said you need to get off thd bus, I said no, I am fine thank yot, he
:12:28. > :12:33.said I think you need to get off the bus, I turned round to the
:12:34. > :12:38.passengers and asked is my baby disturbing you? No one said nothing,
:12:39. > :12:43.one lady shook her head. I said he is not disturbing anyone else, he
:12:44. > :12:49.said I think he is disturbingly we had to get off the bus. Yet if the
:12:50. > :12:57.child was throwing a tantrul, physically, I would imagine it would
:12:58. > :13:02.be distracting. As for tellhng them to get off the bus, that sedms
:13:03. > :13:07.extreme. Having been a bus driver, I know what it can be like, btt I
:13:08. > :13:13.wouldn't have thrown them off the bus. It public transport. The family
:13:14. > :13:19.are still waiting for a reftnd. One simple thing we can do is hdlp
:13:20. > :13:25.parents when they are out and about. It is as much is not looking at them
:13:26. > :13:30.with a baby is crying because you are irritated by it. This is where
:13:31. > :13:34.Susan and her family had to get off the bus, half an hour from where
:13:35. > :13:38.they live. In a statement, Stagecoach apologised saying what
:13:39. > :13:42.happened was not company policy and that they will take action to make
:13:43. > :13:47.sure it doesn't happen again. I have been in such shock, so much shock, I
:13:48. > :13:55.couldn't believe what was h`ppening to me, I couldn't believe it. Compos

:15:53. > :15:58.The fact that there are no safety measures whatsoever on that bridge,
:15:59. > :16:02.made me think that if something was done
:16:03. > :16:08.when that massive crash happened last year, then my sister and nephew
:16:09. > :16:15.In a statement, the Highways Agency said it would be

:17:41. > :17:41.another wonderful day, will it stay that way throughout the weekend I
:17:42. > :17:45.will have a forecast. Farmers
:17:46. > :17:47.in Kent are celebrating the start of the English apple season, after
:17:48. > :17:49.a disappointing harvest last year. The mild wet winter,
:17:50. > :17:52.followed by an early spring and warm summer, has proved ideal
:17:53. > :17:55.conditions for apple growing. The apple crop is almost
:17:56. > :17:58.a month earlier than last ydar. Growers expect this year to be
:17:59. > :18:00.a record crop with And the South East produces 60%
:18:01. > :18:10.of all the apples grown in Dngland. For the latest in our Food Chain
:18:11. > :18:12.series, our environment correspondent Yvette Austin is in
:18:13. > :18:32.an orchard at Horsmonden in Kent. Indeed, I think you can see how good
:18:33. > :18:38.the apples are this year. This is a gala orchard, one of the nation s
:18:39. > :18:42.favourite varieties. I am told this colour is considered an excdllent.
:18:43. > :18:46.It is not just about the colour it is the taste as well, this warm
:18:47. > :18:51.weather has given them good sugar levels. English apples in abundance,
:18:52. > :18:57.this year's harvest is predhcted to be with the best ever. Yields are
:18:58. > :19:01.up, food is big and they taste sweet. It is a relief for f`rmers,
:19:02. > :19:06.coming up that the wettest winter on record. This was an early ydar and
:19:07. > :19:10.it produced the most magnifhcent crop of apples, look at these, they
:19:11. > :19:17.are beautiful. A great colotr, fantastic size, superb qualhty. You
:19:18. > :19:21.couldn't ask for better. It is a big boost for the UK apple industry as a
:19:22. > :19:27.whole, working hard to repl`ce imported fruit on supermarkdt
:19:28. > :19:31.shelves with locally grown produce. Orchards are evolving, new varieties
:19:32. > :19:36.are being developed. As you can see, we are now going more intensive
:19:37. > :19:42.farming, the height of the orchard is now higher, trees are closer
:19:43. > :19:46.together, really the objecthve is to get excellent colour fruit, quality
:19:47. > :19:53.fruit, but more trees in thd same area. Increasing our yield per
:19:54. > :19:58.hectare. This is a glimpse hnto the future of apple production, a

:20:05. > :20:09.growers. State`of`the`art m`chinery sorting ten tonnes of apples and

:20:23. > :20:28.We do 7000 apples and hour on this machine, all the apples comd into
:20:29. > :20:35.this lane and are sorted for size and quality, ideal for the customer.
:20:36. > :20:40.Coming to the office, you c`n see the computer screen, on the screen,
:20:41. > :20:48.there are images of all the apples. The ultimate aim is a never`ending
:20:49. > :20:53.supply of English apples. Btt for that to happen, farmers havd to grow
:20:54. > :20:57.more so they can store more. All the way through from winter, spring and
:20:58. > :21:02.ran to two summer and next harvest. I am told that all the trees that
:21:03. > :21:07.are being planted over the last decade will lead to a doublhng of
:21:08. > :21:12.the English crop by 2020. For that this is fun to work, we havd two eat
:21:13. > :21:23.more English apples and dem`nd them above foreign imports. We bdtter get
