Welcome to South East Today, I'm Rob Smith.

:00:00.:00:00.

A suspected illegal migrant is found crushed to death

:00:00.:00:07.

We'll be live in Sellindge with the details, and in Calais

:00:08.:00:12.

with the latest on the plans to dismantle the migrant calp there.

:00:13.:00:15.

The family of a man killed by a mental health patient says

:00:16.:00:18.

the trust in charge should have rectified mistakes.

:00:19.:00:25.

They continually made the s`me mistake. If the mistakes were

:00:26.:00:31.

corrected people wouldn't h`ve died needlessly.

:00:32.:00:33.

Also in tonight's programme: A Kent MPs assistant is arrested

:00:34.:00:35.

on suspicion of rape at the Houses of Parliament.

:00:36.:00:37.

Separated at birth, the elddrly twin sisters reunited for the first

:00:56.:01:07.

A suspected illegal migrant has been found dead in the back of a lorry

:01:08.:01:12.

near Folkestone, after apparently being crushed

:01:13.:01:14.

Emergency services were called to the scene at a lorry

:01:15.:01:18.

The vehicle is believed to have travelled to Kent from France.

:01:19.:01:26.

Today's death comes after scores of migrants have been found

:01:27.:01:28.

in lorries in the UK recently, including a group of more than 5

:01:29.:01:31.

in the back of a freezer lorry 10 days ago.

:01:32.:01:34.

This is the moment the emergency services opened up the back of this

:01:35.:01:44.

lorry to find the body of a suspected migrant. The drivdr pulled

:01:45.:01:49.

up at the airport cafe near Folkestone at around 8am thhs

:01:50.:01:53.

morning. The owner of the shte said he seemed pretty stressed. He was

:01:54.:01:59.

asking for the police so I followed him over to find out what the

:02:00.:02:02.

problem was and I didn't know what it was a tall at the time and he

:02:03.:02:07.

asked me to get up into the lorry. I could see a boot stuck in the air

:02:08.:02:10.

and I didn't know if it was a boot or there was a leg attached to it so

:02:11.:02:14.

I moved some magazines and @gassi trousers and that there was a person

:02:15.:02:17.

there but it didn't look to be alive. The lorry was carrying these

:02:18.:02:23.

pallets packed full of thesd Christmas catalogues. According to

:02:24.:02:27.

the owner of the site here the man was hiding between them. It looks

:02:28.:02:32.

like maybe the boxes had shhfted and the magazines were all over him and

:02:33.:02:36.

the boxes as well so it looks like he was crushed. You can really move

:02:37.:02:40.

anything out of the way to get to him. The cause of death is not yet

:02:41.:02:46.

known. Earlier this month 14 illegal immigrants were found at Cl`chan

:02:47.:02:51.

Lane services in a freezer lorry and Surrey Police said they feared they

:02:52.:02:57.

had perished. Incidents involving suspected migrants are not tnusual.

:02:58.:03:01.

We had the Channel Tunnel ndar and we have Dover near and we h`ve had

:03:02.:03:06.

to report to the police on ` number of occasions immigrants walking

:03:07.:03:09.

along the road, immigrants hanging around outside the cafe. It is

:03:10.:03:13.

believed that the lorry tod`y travelled from France and French

:03:14.:03:17.

authorities have said they will close the so-called jungle ligrant

:03:18.:03:21.

camp in Canada by the end of the year. The migrants are taking

:03:22.:03:25.

greater risks now to get across to the UK while the chance, as they see

:03:26.:03:32.

it, is still there. However if there was greater security in the port

:03:33.:03:37.

then this would enable a safer and more secure crossing for thd UK

:03:38.:03:42.

bound hauliers. The company operating the lorry says it is

:03:43.:03:43.

investigating what happened. Charlie Rose is at the lorrx

:03:44.:03:45.

park at Sellindge now. Charlie what more have Kent Police

:03:46.:03:47.

had to say? We can see work is still gohng on on

:03:48.:03:52.

the lorry. What the police had to say this evening?

:03:53.:03:57.

This evening the Kent Policd are saying enquiries are ongoing to

:03:58.:04:01.

ascertain the cause of death and the identity of the man. The me the

:04:02.:04:04.

lorry is being reloaded ahe`d of being moved on tomorrow. Migrant

:04:05.:04:09.

charities in Calais are sayhng that migrants are being forced to take

:04:10.:04:13.

extra risks because of incrdased security in Calais. In the past 30

:04:14.:04:18.

minutes of is stand up therd with two children to lay flowers. She

:04:19.:04:23.

told me it was important for her children to know how lucky they are

:04:24.:04:24.

to live here. The truck that the suspected

:04:25.:04:25.

migrant who died travelled Thousands of migrants have,

:04:26.:04:28.

of course, been gathering in camps in Calais for several years

:04:29.:04:33.

as they try to smuggle Our reporter Simon Jones

:04:34.:04:35.

is at the so-called Jungle camp now. Simon, could the French authorities

:04:36.:04:39.

start dismantling it tomorrow? Well, the police chief here in

:04:40.:04:57.

Calais came to the jungle hhmself and put up notices on some of the

:04:58.:05:01.

shops and businesses that are considered to be illegal, s`ying

:05:02.:05:05.

that they have until tomorrow to get out of them. If that doesn't happen,

:05:06.:05:09.

he said, he could turn up as early as tomorrow and destroy thel. It has

:05:10.:05:13.

been another day of tension here in the jungle and at lunchtime we saw a

:05:14.:05:17.

large number of police officers march right into the centre, a big

:05:18.:05:30.

crowd gathered to see what was going on and then eventually the police

:05:31.:05:33.

officers took away four verx young looking migrants. It is unclear

:05:34.:05:35.

exactly why. There was a cotrt challenge to try and stop the

:05:36.:05:37.

dismantling of the jungle and that failed today and I have spoken to a

:05:38.:05:40.

Chief Administration are here in Calais and ask when the dislantling

:05:41.:05:46.

would begin? The dismantling will take place when we are absolutely

:05:47.:05:51.

sure we have a solution for everyone there. I hope it will happen as

:05:52.:05:54.

quickly as possible but we need to choose the right moment. Well, 4

:05:55.:06:02.

unaccompanied children were taken across the Channel to the UK to

:06:03.:06:08.

yesterday and another 13 today. We have also seen 18 migrants being

:06:09.:06:12.

moved from here to a university where they are going to be `llowed

:06:13.:06:17.

to study elsewhere in Francd and we have also seen families loading onto

:06:18.:06:20.

a coach to be taken to reception centres in other parts of the

:06:21.:06:24.

country. Things are very much gearing up, it appears, for the end.

:06:25.:06:26.

A woman from Sussex says her brother would not have died needlessly

:06:27.:06:29.

if the mistakes of a Sussex mental health trust had been rectified

:06:30.:06:32.

Joe Lewis was stabbed to de`th in Brighton on Christmas Dax

:06:33.:06:36.

His attacker was a patient with the Sussex Partnership

:06:37.:06:40.

Today repeated failings by the trust over many years have been

:06:41.:06:47.

As our Health Correspondent Mark Norman reports the Trust now insists

:06:48.:06:51.

it's making improvements to services.

:06:52.:06:59.

Oliver Parsons was a patient with the Sussex mental health trtst when

:07:00.:07:04.

he stabbed and murdered as Joe Lewis. The case was just ond of ten

:07:05.:07:10.

where trust patients killed someone over a nine-year period. Today's

:07:11.:07:14.

report says Sussex partnership made repeated failings in the wax they

:07:15.:07:18.

handled those cases, somethhng that has infuriated Joe 's familx. It is

:07:19.:07:23.

quite shocking, when you ard told to rectify something you usually go

:07:24.:07:27.

ahead and rectify but they haven't, they have continually made the same

:07:28.:07:32.

mistake. If the mistakes were not corrected then people wouldn't have

:07:33.:07:36.

died needlessly. The mistakds have been criticised in this revhew.

:07:37.:07:42.

Information from family and carers was not used effectively and some of

:07:43.:07:45.

the trust staff did not unddrstand the extent of their powers tnder the

:07:46.:07:49.

Mental Health Act. The trust have made a full apology. Across our

:07:50.:07:55.

organisation and across Sussex our staff make these clinical ddcisions

:07:56.:07:59.

every day and as the report highlights, for examples of the

:08:00.:08:03.

Mental Health Act, these ard tough and difficult decisions bec`use they

:08:04.:08:06.

could result in someone's lhberty being deprived, so they need to be

:08:07.:08:12.

very careful in terms of how the exercise but the report is hndicated

:08:13.:08:15.

to us that we need to think more about our general population and it

:08:16.:08:19.

is something we will be verx focused on. It is very much a step hn the

:08:20.:08:25.

right direction. What we want the NHS organisations to do is learn

:08:26.:08:28.

from their mistakes and be lore open and avoid having a blame culture,

:08:29.:08:32.

but look into what went wrong and what could be changed and what could

:08:33.:08:37.

be done differently. Familids who are being failed are understandably

:08:38.:08:41.

sceptical. They say that unless the NHS learns lessons then othdrs will

:08:42.:08:43.

suffer in the same way that they have.

:08:44.:08:46.

Our Health Correspondent Mark Norman is with me now.

:08:47.:08:49.

It is. They took all the independent investigations into these tdn

:08:50.:08:57.

killings and put them all together and we are looking for themds

:08:58.:09:00.

running through them, looking for mistakes the trust were makhng

:09:01.:09:03.

repeatedly across all of those investigations, and to sum ht up you

:09:04.:09:07.

could say was too much procdss from the trust are not enough talking,

:09:08.:09:11.

particularly talking to the families of their own patients. It is the

:09:12.:09:16.

repetition that is so frustrating. We got an apology from the trust

:09:17.:09:19.

today and they say they will change clinical practices and they say it

:09:20.:09:23.

goes beyond action plans but the trust recognise it is a significant

:09:24.:09:26.

moment in the way they have to move forward and the way they de`l with

:09:27.:09:33.

the serious incidents. Coming up on the programme in a moment:.

:09:34.:09:37.

West Sussex schools tell the government that their ptpils

:09:38.:09:39.

are being short changed by ?44 million.

:09:40.:09:45.

A man who stabbed two peopld to death, and wounded two others,

:09:46.:09:48.

including a 16 year old boy, has told jurors at his murddr

:09:49.:09:52.

trial that he'd been acting in self defence.

:09:53.:09:55.

54-year-old Foster Christian claimed he'd been violently assaultdd

:09:56.:10:00.

in his own room at a shared house on Dickens Road in Canterbury,

:10:01.:10:03.

and didn't remember picking up a large kitchen knife.

:10:04.:10:06.

From Maidstone Crown Court Sara Smith reports.

:10:07.:10:11.

It was an argument between housemates over running the tap when

:10:12.:10:14.

someone else was in their shower that escalated into violencd in this

:10:15.:10:17.

Simon Gorecki, who lived here was stabbed to death, as was his friend

:10:18.:10:21.

who'd been visiting him, Natasha Sadler.

:10:22.:10:23.

Her 20-year-old son and

:10:24.:10:24.

another boy, a 16-year-old were both wounded.

:10:25.:10:29.

Today in court Foster Christian said they had attacked him

:10:30.:10:31.

and all four had come into his room in the house with a knife and he had

:10:32.:10:35.

been holding his own knife to defend himself.

:10:36.:10:38.

The jury also heard that Foster Christian had

:10:39.:10:58.

called a friend who had comd to the house, taken the knife

:10:59.:11:01.

Asked why he had done that he said he had panicked.

:11:02.:11:07.

In cross-examination he is accused of

:11:08.:11:09.

going into attack mode and knifing everyone like coming into the room.

:11:10.:11:31.

Foster Christian denies two counts of murder and two of wounding.

:11:32.:11:40.

Thousands of Eurotunnel passengers are facing disruption and ddlays

:11:41.:11:42.

tonight after rail services through the Channel Tunnel

:11:43.:11:44.

were suspended for four hours because of a power failure.

:11:45.:11:50.

The technical fault caused long queues on the M20 heading

:12:37.:12:38.

The boys, aged six and eight were standing on a path on Medwax Road

Our Political Editor Helen Catt joins us from Westminster.

:13:11.:13:13.

Well, we know that the Metropolitan Police is investigating an

:13:14.:13:27.

allegation of rape which it is claimed took place here in the house

:13:28.:13:31.

of parliament in the early hours of last Friday morning, the 14th of

:13:32.:13:35.

October. They say a 23-year,old man was arrested on Friday on stspicion

:13:36.:13:40.

of rape and has been bailed until mid January pending further

:13:41.:13:44.

enquiries. It is understood that that man is Sam Armstrong, the

:13:45.:13:47.

assistant to Craig Mackinlax. A spokesman for Craig Mackinl`y said

:13:48.:13:53.

he had been made aware of an allegation against a member of staff

:13:54.:13:56.

and he had given permission to police to access his office here at

:13:57.:14:00.

Westminster. He is now monitoring the situation and awaiting further

:14:01.:14:04.

regard to those authorities a spokesman for the House of Commons

some huts that are in reallx bad condition and we need to get rid

:17:14.:17:23.

of them and get proper classrooms where we can actually

really learn in. The Department for Education says it

:17:27.:17:28.

an additional ?930,000 last year. It is consulting on new

single mothers was very different to today, Mary Hunter was put tp for

adoption as a baby. This sulmer she made an amazing discovery at the age

:18:02.:18:06.

of 88, that she actually had a sister. Olive has travelled all the

:18:07.:18:09.

way from Perth to Tunbridge Wells to meet up with her and it was an

:18:10.:18:11.

emotional meeting. Sisters who have just met for the

first time, Mary aged 88 and live now 76. We just fell into e`ch

had a brother or sister the, you see. Mary began delving into her

:18:32.:18:38.

background 15 years ago aftdr receiving her birth certificate

:18:39.:18:42.

Born to a single mother in 0928 Mary was given up for adopthon but

:18:43.:18:47.

aged eight her adoptive mother put her in an orphanage. They wdre very

:18:48.:18:52.

poor and having adopted me, perhaps she couldn't afford to keep me, I

:18:53.:18:55.

don't know, I've never known the reasons. Olive came along 12 years

:18:56.:19:01.

later when their biological mother, Florence, settle down with ` new

:19:02.:19:06.

family. I do wish I'd known, I really do wish I'd known. It might

:19:07.:19:10.

have even made a difference to our lives. I might not have even gone

:19:11.:19:16.

out to Australia if I knew H had to sister here. I feel very upset that

:19:17.:19:22.

we haven't met before because I felt I lost out on a proper childhood. I

:19:23.:19:28.

don't feel I had a real childhood like I the families. Three puarters

:19:29.:19:36.

of the century may have passed but these long lost sisters havd a lot

:19:37.:19:41.

to catch up on. Never too l`te. Never too late. My only regret is

:19:42.:19:50.

that it has taken so long to do so. Now that we have got each other I

:19:51.:19:52.

don't want to let her go! Well, Mary and Olive contacted

of staff is the bar steward. And while the likes of Arsenal have

:20:35.:20:38.

big-name backers such Emirates, Merstham FC are sponsored

:20:39.:20:40.

by their local car body rep`ir shop. Piers Hopkirk is at

:20:41.:20:43.

the club for us now. This is a big deal for Merstham

:20:44.:20:56.

Yes, it is. Just to put it hnto perspective, Merstham have ` home

:20:57.:21:00.

game tonight and they are playing Folkestone in Victor. They `re

:21:01.:21:04.

expecting around 200 people through the gate but in a few weeks' time

:21:05.:21:08.

they will expect ten times that when Oxford United come to town. This was

:21:09.:21:14.

the goal that netted a little Merstham FC the club's first ever

:21:15.:21:17.

appearance in the first round of the most famous cup competition in the

:21:18.:21:23.

world. No sooner had the euphoria settled than the part-timers from

:21:24.:21:26.

Surrey were handed a bigger prize still. Number 34. They have a home

:21:27.:21:37.

tie against Oxford United, tenth in League 1. Calais has no Russian

:21:38.:21:41.

billionaire to call upon and all the staff at the club are volunteers.

:21:42.:21:44.

You won't find a chairman ptffing on a cigar in the boardroom, hd runs a

:21:45.:21:49.

butchers shop. It means absolutely everything, it is what we h`ve been

:21:50.:21:52.

working towards but you nevdr think will happen. Previously we have gone

:21:53.:21:57.

out of the cup very early on and now to reach the first round has given

:21:58.:22:02.

the club such a lift. On thd pitch Reese Hall is a talented midfielder

:22:03.:22:08.

by the wiki as a trainee financial adviser. You are buzzing to get a

:22:09.:22:12.

League 1 team in the first round proper and it is what dreams are

:22:13.:22:19.

made of. The club has -- thd cup has already won Merstham ?30,000 and

:22:20.:22:24.

they will get another 18,000 if they win this match. The potenti`l of a

:22:25.:22:29.

6-figure pay-out is not bad for a club with one paid member of staff.

:22:30.:22:34.

This is what the FA Cup is `ll about and what dreams are made of. You

:22:35.:22:39.

never thought that you could top the achievement from Saturday in beating

:22:40.:22:42.

Airbus fleet and only a few days later here we are, preparing for a

:22:43.:22:49.

really good club in Oxford. It is not just the club that gets a lift,

:22:50.:22:54.

club fever spreads further. To Merstham, being a little village,

:22:55.:22:59.

now we have the chance to show that we are something about a dot on the

:23:00.:23:02.

map, but something a little bit special. So club and town alike will

:23:03.:23:11.

be praying for more of this, as a bit of cup magic beckons for

:23:12.:23:14.

Merstham. The game against Oxford will take

:23:15.:23:17.

place sometime over the weekend of November the 5th, everybody here

:23:18.:23:21.

will be hoping for some firdworks. I am sure they will! Thank xou.

:23:22.:23:24.

Now he shot shot to fame nine years ago on the hit TV programme

:23:25.:23:27.

Any Dream Will Do where he hmpressed the likes of Andrew Lloyd Wdbber

:23:28.:23:30.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

:23:31.:23:33.

And since Lee Mead has a had string of box office West End hits.

:23:34.:23:36.

And next Thursday he's coming to Tunbridge Wells

:23:37.:23:38.

Briohny Williams has been to meet him.

:23:39.:23:45.

This is the moment Lee Mead 's life changed for ever. Merstham! Whittled

:23:46.:23:59.

down from thousands of applhcants he got to play Joseph in the Wdst End.

:24:00.:24:05.

It is the song that made hil famous, but he has carved out a carder

:24:06.:24:13.

beyond Joseph. 15 years of wearing loincloth! That is all you `re, you

:24:14.:24:21.

are just Joseph. But seriously you have another career. I am rdally

:24:22.:24:24.

proud of it. In the concert shows I sing any dream Will do and H am

:24:25.:24:28.

really proud of that period and that show was such a huge platform to do

:24:29.:24:34.

more things. He has gone on to perform in other stage shows and

:24:35.:24:38.

took the leap into television dramas, playing lofty in casualty, a

:24:39.:24:45.

role he would like to revivd. The door is still open. I just needed a

:24:46.:24:48.

year off because I have a d`ughter and I was missing school runs. I

:24:49.:24:53.

also had a chance to do Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and play Dhck Van

:24:54.:24:57.

Dyke for five months. After playing many different characters hd is

:24:58.:25:02.

performing as himself on a TK album tour. Playing leads in musicals and

:25:03.:25:05.

doing TV roles is always grdat fun and a challenge but have yotr own

:25:06.:25:10.

show is your baby really. Hd will be practising at the assembly Hall

:25:11.:25:14.

Theatre in Tunbridge Wells, placing us fond memories. I have sedn shows

:25:15.:25:19.

here and at 19 I did a tourhng production of Joseph and I can

:25:20.:25:22.

remember going for dinner at Tunbridge Wells and passing the

:25:23.:25:25.

theatre over the years and thinking it be really nice to do a show there

:25:26.:25:29.

one day so I am really excited about that. Next week he is.

:25:30.:25:38.

He can sing, can't it? Let's take a look at what the weather is doing in

:25:39.:25:41.

the next few days with Rachdl. What is going to do?

:25:42.:25:45.

It is pretty decent and we will see a lot of dry weather around but it

:25:46.:25:51.

is feeling quite chilly. Early today first thing we had a cold front and

:25:52.:25:54.

it cleared through pretty qtickly but behind it are pretty decent day.

:25:55.:26:00.

A lot of cloud cover around and temperatures several degrees down on

:26:01.:26:04.

the values we had yesterday. Yesterday highs of 17 or 18 but

:26:05.:26:09.

today some places haven't got much above 12 or 13. As we go into

:26:10.:26:15.

tonight initially some scattered showers but for the most part

:26:16.:26:20.

clearer skies. We are going to see temperatures really fall aw`y so

:26:21.:26:23.

overnight lows of seven or 8 degrees. First thing on Wednesday a

:26:24.:26:30.

lot of sunshine around and the area of low pressure stays out to the

:26:31.:26:35.

West -- the east of us and eventually we have scattered showers

:26:36.:26:39.

but for many of us it will stay dry. The area of high pressure to thank

:26:40.:26:43.

for that. A lot of sunshine, feeling chilly. The reason for that is the

:26:44.:26:47.

winds move back to north-westerly direction and they are quitd brisk.

:26:48.:26:52.

Temperatures of 14 or 15 and a similar feel to today. To go from

:26:53.:26:58.

Wednesday to Thursday we will again see clearer skies and overnhght

:26:59.:27:03.

temperatures of seven or 8 degrees. Quite chilly start to the d`y on

:27:04.:27:07.

Thursday. The further east xou are the more likely you are to see a few

:27:08.:27:11.

scattered showers. It will be particularly heavy and on Friday

:27:12.:27:17.

more of the same. As we look towards the weekend the wind goes b`ck to an

:27:18.:27:20.

easterly direction and on S`turday and Sunday we stay mostly dry. For

:27:21.:27:25.

the next couple of days somd really lovely if slightly autumnal feeling

:27:26.:27:27.

weather. It will be all right for thd

:27:28.:27:31.

weekend, that makes a changd. Thank you for that. I will be back with

:27:32.:27:36.

the updater APM and also at 10: 5pm. See later this evening. Goodbye

:27:37.:28:06.
