:00:00. > :00:07.A suspected illegal migrant is found crushed to death
:00:08. > :00:12.We'll be live in Sellindge with the details, and in Calais
:00:13. > :00:15.with the latest on the plans to dismantle the migrant calp there.
:00:16. > :00:18.The family of a man killed by a mental health patient says
:00:19. > :00:25.the trust in charge should have rectified mistakes.
:00:26. > :00:31.They continually made the s`me mistake. If the mistakes were
:00:32. > :00:33.corrected people wouldn't h`ve died needlessly.
:00:34. > :00:35.Also in tonight's programme: A Kent MPs assistant is arrested
:00:36. > :00:37.on suspicion of rape at the Houses of Parliament.
:00:38. > :00:40.Separated at birth, the elddrly twin sisters reunited for the first

:00:56. > :01:07.now Lee Mead is bringing his own album on tour.
:01:08. > :01:12.A suspected illegal migrant has been found dead in the back of a lorry
:01:13. > :01:14.near Folkestone, after apparently being crushed
:01:15. > :01:18.Emergency services were called to the scene at a lorry
:01:19. > :01:26.The vehicle is believed to have travelled to Kent from France.
:01:27. > :01:28.Today's death comes after scores of migrants have been found
:01:29. > :01:31.in lorries in the UK recently, including a group of more than 5
:01:32. > :01:34.in the back of a freezer lorry 10 days ago.
:01:35. > :01:44.This is the moment the emergency services opened up the back of this
:01:45. > :01:49.lorry to find the body of a suspected migrant. The drivdr pulled
:01:50. > :01:53.up at the airport cafe near Folkestone at around 8am thhs
:01:54. > :01:59.morning. The owner of the shte said he seemed pretty stressed. He was
:02:00. > :02:02.asking for the police so I followed him over to find out what the
:02:03. > :02:07.problem was and I didn't know what it was a tall at the time and he
:02:08. > :02:10.asked me to get up into the lorry. I could see a boot stuck in the air
:02:11. > :02:14.and I didn't know if it was a boot or there was a leg attached to it so
:02:15. > :02:17.I moved some magazines and @gassi trousers and that there was a person
:02:18. > :02:23.there but it didn't look to be alive. The lorry was carrying these
:02:24. > :02:27.pallets packed full of thesd Christmas catalogues. According to
:02:28. > :02:32.the owner of the site here the man was hiding between them. It looks
:02:33. > :02:36.like maybe the boxes had shhfted and the magazines were all over him and
:02:37. > :02:40.the boxes as well so it looks like he was crushed. You can really move
:02:41. > :02:46.anything out of the way to get to him. The cause of death is not yet
:02:47. > :02:51.known. Earlier this month 14 illegal immigrants were found at Cl`chan
:02:52. > :02:57.Lane services in a freezer lorry and Surrey Police said they feared they
:02:58. > :03:01.had perished. Incidents involving suspected migrants are not tnusual.
:03:02. > :03:06.We had the Channel Tunnel ndar and we have Dover near and we h`ve had
:03:07. > :03:09.to report to the police on ` number of occasions immigrants walking
:03:10. > :03:13.along the road, immigrants hanging around outside the cafe. It is
:03:14. > :03:17.believed that the lorry tod`y travelled from France and French
:03:18. > :03:21.authorities have said they will close the so-called jungle ligrant
:03:22. > :03:25.camp in Canada by the end of the year. The migrants are taking
:03:26. > :03:32.greater risks now to get across to the UK while the chance, as they see
:03:33. > :03:37.it, is still there. However if there was greater security in the port
:03:38. > :03:42.then this would enable a safer and more secure crossing for thd UK
:03:43. > :03:43.bound hauliers. The company operating the lorry says it is
:03:44. > :03:45.investigating what happened. Charlie Rose is at the lorrx
:03:46. > :03:47.park at Sellindge now. Charlie what more have Kent Police
:03:48. > :03:52.had to say? We can see work is still gohng on on
:03:53. > :03:57.the lorry. What the police had to say this evening?
:03:58. > :04:01.This evening the Kent Policd are saying enquiries are ongoing to
:04:02. > :04:04.ascertain the cause of death and the identity of the man. The me the
:04:05. > :04:09.lorry is being reloaded ahe`d of being moved on tomorrow. Migrant
:04:10. > :04:13.charities in Calais are sayhng that migrants are being forced to take
:04:14. > :04:18.extra risks because of incrdased security in Calais. In the past 30
:04:19. > :04:23.minutes of is stand up therd with two children to lay flowers. She
:04:24. > :04:24.told me it was important for her children to know how lucky they are
:04:25. > :04:25.to live here. The truck that the suspected
:04:26. > :04:28.migrant who died travelled Thousands of migrants have,
:04:29. > :04:33.of course, been gathering in camps in Calais for several years
:04:34. > :04:35.as they try to smuggle Our reporter Simon Jones
:04:36. > :04:39.is at the so-called Jungle camp now. Simon, could the French authorities
:04:40. > :04:57.start dismantling it tomorrow? Well, the police chief here in
:04:58. > :05:01.Calais came to the jungle hhmself and put up notices on some of the
:05:02. > :05:05.shops and businesses that are considered to be illegal, s`ying
:05:06. > :05:09.that they have until tomorrow to get out of them. If that doesn't happen,
:05:10. > :05:13.he said, he could turn up as early as tomorrow and destroy thel. It has
:05:14. > :05:17.been another day of tension here in the jungle and at lunchtime we saw a
:05:18. > :05:30.large number of police officers march right into the centre, a big
:05:31. > :05:33.crowd gathered to see what was going on and then eventually the police
:05:34. > :05:35.officers took away four verx young looking migrants. It is unclear
:05:36. > :05:37.exactly why. There was a cotrt challenge to try and stop the
:05:38. > :05:40.dismantling of the jungle and that failed today and I have spoken to a
:05:41. > :05:46.Chief Administration are here in Calais and ask when the dislantling
:05:47. > :05:51.would begin? The dismantling will take place when we are absolutely
:05:52. > :05:54.sure we have a solution for everyone there. I hope it will happen as
:05:55. > :06:02.quickly as possible but we need to choose the right moment. Well, 4
:06:03. > :06:08.unaccompanied children were taken across the Channel to the UK to
:06:09. > :06:12.yesterday and another 13 today. We have also seen 18 migrants being
:06:13. > :06:17.moved from here to a university where they are going to be `llowed
:06:18. > :06:20.to study elsewhere in Francd and we have also seen families loading onto
:06:21. > :06:24.a coach to be taken to reception centres in other parts of the
:06:25. > :06:26.country. Things are very much gearing up, it appears, for the end.
:06:27. > :06:29.A woman from Sussex says her brother would not have died needlessly
:06:30. > :06:32.if the mistakes of a Sussex mental health trust had been rectified
:06:33. > :06:36.Joe Lewis was stabbed to de`th in Brighton on Christmas Dax
:06:37. > :06:40.His attacker was a patient with the Sussex Partnership
:06:41. > :06:47.Today repeated failings by the trust over many years have been
:06:48. > :06:51.As our Health Correspondent Mark Norman reports the Trust now insists
:06:52. > :06:59.it's making improvements to services.
:07:00. > :07:04.Oliver Parsons was a patient with the Sussex mental health trtst when
:07:05. > :07:10.he stabbed and murdered as Joe Lewis. The case was just ond of ten
:07:11. > :07:14.where trust patients killed someone over a nine-year period. Today's
:07:15. > :07:18.report says Sussex partnership made repeated failings in the wax they
:07:19. > :07:23.handled those cases, somethhng that has infuriated Joe 's familx. It is
:07:24. > :07:27.quite shocking, when you ard told to rectify something you usually go
:07:28. > :07:32.ahead and rectify but they haven't, they have continually made the same
:07:33. > :07:36.mistake. If the mistakes were not corrected then people wouldn't have
:07:37. > :07:42.died needlessly. The mistakds have been criticised in this revhew.
:07:43. > :07:45.Information from family and carers was not used effectively and some of
:07:46. > :07:49.the trust staff did not unddrstand the extent of their powers tnder the
:07:50. > :07:55.Mental Health Act. The trust have made a full apology. Across our
:07:56. > :07:59.organisation and across Sussex our staff make these clinical ddcisions
:08:00. > :08:03.every day and as the report highlights, for examples of the
:08:04. > :08:06.Mental Health Act, these ard tough and difficult decisions bec`use they
:08:07. > :08:12.could result in someone's lhberty being deprived, so they need to be
:08:13. > :08:15.very careful in terms of how the exercise but the report is hndicated
:08:16. > :08:19.to us that we need to think more about our general population and it
:08:20. > :08:25.is something we will be verx focused on. It is very much a step hn the
:08:26. > :08:28.right direction. What we want the NHS organisations to do is learn
:08:29. > :08:32.from their mistakes and be lore open and avoid having a blame culture,
:08:33. > :08:37.but look into what went wrong and what could be changed and what could
:08:38. > :08:41.be done differently. Familids who are being failed are understandably
:08:42. > :08:43.sceptical. They say that unless the NHS learns lessons then othdrs will
:08:44. > :08:46.suffer in the same way that they have.
:08:47. > :08:49.Our Health Correspondent Mark Norman is with me now.
:08:50. > :08:57.It is. They took all the independent investigations into these tdn
:08:58. > :09:00.killings and put them all together and we are looking for themds
:09:01. > :09:03.running through them, looking for mistakes the trust were makhng
:09:04. > :09:07.repeatedly across all of those investigations, and to sum ht up you
:09:08. > :09:11.could say was too much procdss from the trust are not enough talking,
:09:12. > :09:16.particularly talking to the families of their own patients. It is the
:09:17. > :09:19.repetition that is so frustrating. We got an apology from the trust
:09:20. > :09:23.today and they say they will change clinical practices and they say it
:09:24. > :09:26.goes beyond action plans but the trust recognise it is a significant
:09:27. > :09:33.moment in the way they have to move forward and the way they de`l with
:09:34. > :09:37.the serious incidents. Coming up on the programme in a moment:.

:10:30. > :10:31.Today in court Foster Christian said they had attacked him
:10:32. > :10:35.and all four had come into his room in the house with a knife and he had
:10:36. > :10:38.been holding his own knife to defend himself.
:10:39. > :10:58.The jury also heard that Foster Christian had
:10:59. > :11:01.called a friend who had comd to the house, taken the knife
:11:02. > :11:07.Asked why he had done that he said he had panicked.

:17:03. > :17:06.on and it doesn't work, In education things like having
:17:07. > :17:13.brilliant teachers and after-school At the front of our school we have
:17:14. > :17:23.some huts that are in reallx bad condition and we need to get rid
:17:24. > :17:26.of them and get proper classrooms where we can actually
:17:27. > :17:28.really learn in. The Department for Education says it
:17:29. > :17:30.has protected school budgets and awarded West Sussex
:17:31. > :17:32.an additional ?930,000 last year. It is consulting on new
:17:33. > :17:57.funding formula that it In 1928 when Britain's attitude to
:17:58. > :18:01.single mothers was very different to today, Mary Hunter was put tp for
:18:02. > :18:06.adoption as a baby. This sulmer she made an amazing discovery at the age
:18:07. > :18:09.of 88, that she actually had a sister. Olive has travelled all the
:18:10. > :18:11.way from Perth to Tunbridge Wells to meet up with her and it was an
:18:12. > :18:24.emotional meeting. Sisters who have just met for the
:18:25. > :18:28.first time, Mary aged 88 and live now 76. We just fell into e`ch
:18:29. > :18:31.other's arms and cuddled each other. It was so wonderful. I have never
:18:32. > :18:38.had a brother or sister the, you see. Mary began delving into her
:18:39. > :18:42.background 15 years ago aftdr receiving her birth certificate
:18:43. > :18:47.Born to a single mother in 0928 Mary was given up for adopthon but
:18:48. > :18:52.aged eight her adoptive mother put her in an orphanage. They wdre very
:18:53. > :18:55.poor and having adopted me, perhaps she couldn't afford to keep me, I
:18:56. > :19:01.don't know, I've never known the reasons. Olive came along 12 years
:19:02. > :19:06.later when their biological mother, Florence, settle down with ` new
:19:07. > :19:10.family. I do wish I'd known, I really do wish I'd known. It might
:19:11. > :19:16.have even made a difference to our lives. I might not have even gone
:19:17. > :19:22.out to Australia if I knew H had to sister here. I feel very upset that
:19:23. > :19:28.we haven't met before because I felt I lost out on a proper childhood. I
:19:29. > :19:36.don't feel I had a real childhood like I the families. Three puarters
:19:37. > :19:41.of the century may have passed but these long lost sisters havd a lot
:19:42. > :19:50.to catch up on. Never too l`te. Never too late. My only regret is
:19:51. > :19:52.that it has taken so long to do so. Now that we have got each other I
:19:53. > :19:55.don't want to let her go! Well, Mary and Olive contacted
:19:56. > :19:57.us about their story. And if you have a story you think
:19:58. > :20:00.we should be covering on South East Today,
:20:01. > :20:11.we'd like to hear from you. A non-league football
:20:12. > :20:14.team from Surrey will be hoping for a bumper payday
:20:15. > :20:16.after being drawn at home in the first round of the F@

:20:39. > :20:40.big-name backers such Emirates, Merstham FC are sponsored
:20:41. > :20:43.by their local car body rep`ir shop. Piers Hopkirk is at
:20:44. > :20:56.the club for us now. This is a big deal for Merstham
:20:57. > :21:00.Yes, it is. Just to put it hnto perspective, Merstham have ` home
:21:01. > :21:04.game tonight and they are playing Folkestone in Victor. They `re
:21:05. > :21:08.expecting around 200 people through the gate but in a few weeks' time
:21:09. > :21:14.they will expect ten times that when Oxford United come to town. This was
:21:15. > :21:17.the goal that netted a little Merstham FC the club's first ever
:21:18. > :21:23.appearance in the first round of the most famous cup competition in the
:21:24. > :21:26.world. No sooner had the euphoria settled than the part-timers from
:21:27. > :21:37.Surrey were handed a bigger prize still. Number 34. They have a home
:21:38. > :21:41.tie against Oxford United, tenth in League 1. Calais has no Russian
:21:42. > :21:44.billionaire to call upon and all the staff at the club are volunteers.
:21:45. > :21:49.You won't find a chairman ptffing on a cigar in the boardroom, hd runs a
:21:50. > :21:52.butchers shop. It means absolutely everything, it is what we h`ve been
:21:53. > :21:57.working towards but you nevdr think will happen. Previously we have gone
:21:58. > :22:02.out of the cup very early on and now to reach the first round has given
:22:03. > :22:08.the club such a lift. On thd pitch Reese Hall is a talented midfielder
:22:09. > :22:12.by the wiki as a trainee financial adviser. You are buzzing to get a
:22:13. > :22:19.League 1 team in the first round proper and it is what dreams are
:22:20. > :22:24.made of. The club has -- thd cup has already won Merstham ?30,000 and
:22:25. > :22:29.they will get another 18,000 if they win this match. The potenti`l of a
:22:30. > :22:34.6-figure pay-out is not bad for a club with one paid member of staff.
:22:35. > :22:39.This is what the FA Cup is `ll about and what dreams are made of. You
:22:40. > :22:42.never thought that you could top the achievement from Saturday in beating
:22:43. > :22:49.Airbus fleet and only a few days later here we are, preparing for a
:22:50. > :22:54.really good club in Oxford. It is not just the club that gets a lift,
:22:55. > :22:59.club fever spreads further. To Merstham, being a little village,
:23:00. > :23:02.now we have the chance to show that we are something about a dot on the
:23:03. > :23:11.map, but something a little bit special. So club and town alike will
:23:12. > :23:14.be praying for more of this, as a bit of cup magic beckons for
:23:15. > :23:17.Merstham. The game against Oxford will take
:23:18. > :23:21.place sometime over the weekend of November the 5th, everybody here
:23:22. > :23:24.will be hoping for some firdworks. I am sure they will! Thank xou.
:23:25. > :23:27.Now he shot shot to fame nine years ago on the hit TV programme
:23:28. > :23:30.Any Dream Will Do where he hmpressed the likes of Andrew Lloyd Wdbber
:23:31. > :23:33.Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
:23:34. > :23:36.And since Lee Mead has a had string of box office West End hits.
:23:37. > :23:38.And next Thursday he's coming to Tunbridge Wells
:23:39. > :23:45.Briohny Williams has been to meet him.
:23:46. > :23:59.This is the moment Lee Mead 's life changed for ever. Merstham! Whittled
:24:00. > :24:05.down from thousands of applhcants he got to play Joseph in the Wdst End.
:24:06. > :24:13.It is the song that made hil famous, but he has carved out a carder
:24:14. > :24:21.beyond Joseph. 15 years of wearing loincloth! That is all you `re, you
:24:22. > :24:24.are just Joseph. But seriously you have another career. I am rdally
:24:25. > :24:28.proud of it. In the concert shows I sing any dream Will do and H am
:24:29. > :24:34.really proud of that period and that show was such a huge platform to do
:24:35. > :24:38.more things. He has gone on to perform in other stage shows and
:24:39. > :24:45.took the leap into television dramas, playing lofty in casualty, a
:24:46. > :24:48.role he would like to revivd. The door is still open. I just needed a
:24:49. > :24:53.year off because I have a d`ughter and I was missing school runs. I
:24:54. > :24:57.also had a chance to do Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and play Dhck Van
:24:58. > :25:02.Dyke for five months. After playing many different characters hd is
:25:03. > :25:05.performing as himself on a TK album tour. Playing leads in musicals and
:25:06. > :25:10.doing TV roles is always grdat fun and a challenge but have yotr own
:25:11. > :25:14.show is your baby really. Hd will be practising at the assembly Hall
:25:15. > :25:19.Theatre in Tunbridge Wells, placing us fond memories. I have sedn shows
:25:20. > :25:22.here and at 19 I did a tourhng production of Joseph and I can
:25:23. > :25:25.remember going for dinner at Tunbridge Wells and passing the
:25:26. > :25:29.theatre over the years and thinking it be really nice to do a show there
:25:30. > :25:38.one day so I am really excited about that. Next week he is.
:25:39. > :25:41.He can sing, can't it? Let's take a look at what the weather is doing in
:25:42. > :25:45.the next few days with Rachdl. What is going to do?
:25:46. > :25:51.It is pretty decent and we will see a lot of dry weather around but it
:25:52. > :25:54.is feeling quite chilly. Early today first thing we had a cold front and
:25:55. > :26:00.it cleared through pretty qtickly but behind it are pretty decent day.
:26:01. > :26:04.A lot of cloud cover around and temperatures several degrees down on
:26:05. > :26:09.the values we had yesterday. Yesterday highs of 17 or 18 but
:26:10. > :26:15.today some places haven't got much above 12 or 13. As we go into
:26:16. > :26:20.tonight initially some scattered showers but for the most part
:26:21. > :26:23.clearer skies. We are going to see temperatures really fall aw`y so
:26:24. > :26:30.overnight lows of seven or 8 degrees. First thing on Wednesday a
:26:31. > :26:35.lot of sunshine around and the area of low pressure stays out to the
:26:36. > :26:39.West -- the east of us and eventually we have scattered showers
:26:40. > :26:43.but for many of us it will stay dry. The area of high pressure to thank
:26:44. > :26:47.for that. A lot of sunshine, feeling chilly. The reason for that is the
:26:48. > :26:52.winds move back to north-westerly direction and they are quitd brisk.
:26:53. > :26:58.Temperatures of 14 or 15 and a similar feel to today. To go from
:26:59. > :27:03.Wednesday to Thursday we will again see clearer skies and overnhght
:27:04. > :27:07.temperatures of seven or 8 degrees. Quite chilly start to the d`y on
:27:08. > :27:11.Thursday. The further east xou are the more likely you are to see a few
:27:12. > :27:17.scattered showers. It will be particularly heavy and on Friday
:27:18. > :27:20.more of the same. As we look towards the weekend the wind goes b`ck to an
:27:21. > :27:25.easterly direction and on S`turday and Sunday we stay mostly dry. For
:27:26. > :27:27.the next couple of days somd really lovely if slightly autumnal feeling
:27:28. > :27:31.weather. It will be all right for thd
:27:32. > :27:36.weekend, that makes a changd. Thank you for that. I will be back with
:27:37. > :28:06.the updater APM and also at 10: 5pm. See later this evening. Goodbye
