The threat of legal action against a Kent council leader | :00:00. | :00:21. | |
by the company wanting to reopen Manston Airport. | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
Is the NHS prejudiced against obese people? | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
We hear from the Sussex woman who says she was | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
forced to go private for life-saving weight-loss surgery. | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
I was bloated out with water retention and it was causing my | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
other organs to fail. The driver of a lorry that brought | :00:42. | :00:49. | |
down a bridge on the M20 And the man in the mummy - | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
how 21st-century technology is unlocking 3,000-year-old | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
mysteries at a castle in Kent. South-east politicians have called | :00:57. | :01:08. | |
tonight for migrants in northern France to be relocated far | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
from the Port of Calais after a huge fire destroyed a camp housing 1,500 | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
people near Dunkirk. Wooden huts were reduced to ashes | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
after the fire last night, which followed a large-scale fight | :01:21. | :01:29. | |
between Afghan and Kurdish migrants. Riot police were called in and at | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
least 10 people have been hurt. There had been concern that this | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
camp was becoming increasingly unstable and ruled by people | :01:36. | :01:43. | |
traffickers from The authorities had | :01:44. | :01:44. | |
planned to shut it down. The flames might well have | :01:45. | :01:53. | |
done that job for them. Big trouble happened | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
with the Afghan people and Kurdish. Afghan people, first time, | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
attacked Kurdish with a knife. Well, it is an eerie atmosphere | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
here in the camp today. The fires are now out, | :02:02. | :02:10. | |
but you can still smell What people used to call home is now | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
largely reduced to ashes. The police ushered out any migrants | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
who turned up today. Hundreds of migrants have been | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
given temporary shelter But charities are warning | :02:22. | :02:37. | |
that many have already What they were doing | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
here, which was trying Do you think it is | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
going to get worse? You know, I mean, it | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
was bad here anyway. The closure of the Calais Jungle | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
camp last October cost the numbers In February, we discovered migrants | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
from Dunkirk where making nightly attempts to smuggle themselves | :03:03. | :03:11. | |
into Kent using public And last month, five migrants | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
were injured in clashes at Dunkirk. What this does is it puts | :03:14. | :03:23. | |
more than 1000 migrants, all of them desperate, | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
on the streets, around That means danger | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
for our lorry drivers. The French authorities say | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
that they are now trying to persuade the migrants to go | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
to secure shelters. We need to round them | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
up and get them back I think it is in the interests | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
of Dover and Calais that we work together to ensure that the | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
Dover-Calais trade route is And charities point out | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
that the people who lived here have Lawyers for RiverOak - | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
the company that's hoping to reopen Manston Airport in East Kent - | :03:56. | :04:06. | |
are threatening legal action against the leader | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
of Thanet District Council, It follows an e-mail he sent | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
to fellow councillors claiming that Belize, | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
where one of RiverOak's key investors is based, | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
is a "major money-laundering country" linked to the illegal drugs | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
trade and human trafficking. Peter Whittlesea has | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
our exclusive story. It might have closed by the company | :04:24. | :04:34. | |
RiverOak, that plans to reopen Manston Airport, is threatening to | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
sue the leader of Thanet District Council following comments he made | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
regarding the company's financial interest in Central America. In an | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
e-mail to a local resident and copy to 35 members of panic counsel, | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
Chris Wells Road, Belize is one of 14 Caribbean nations named by the US | :04:53. | :05:01. | |
as a money-laundering country, with transactions from international Mac | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
to traffic in. And it is a shipment point for marijuana, cocaine and | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
human trafficking is a concern. Campaigners say that they are | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
shocked and reputable company trying to create employment in Thanet has | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
been written about in this way. The allegations that RiverOak have | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
something to do with unobscured country in South America is an | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
extraordinary thing to say about apparently respectable organisation | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
that has been trying hard for years to get a fair hearing. RiverOak's | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
legal team have written to Chris Wells to demand an unqualified | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
withdrawal of the allegations and an apology. Confirmation that you will | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
recuse yourself from the involvement of any decision of Thanet District | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
Council relating to the Manston Airport site. And payment of a | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
significant sum in damages for the damage to the company's reputation. | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
No, no comment at all. That was Chris Wells' response today. When | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
elected as Ukip's first council leader, G promise to keep Thanet | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
council out of the headlines. We will see what happens when we adopt | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
a more calm approach and doing things, and we could find that | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
Thanet council becomes less the object of people's attention and | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
more the object of admiration because they simply get on with the | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
job. But critics say that when it comes to Manston Airport, the | :06:31. | :06:31. | |
council has not got the job done. We can cross live to | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
Peter Whittlesea who's in Manston. Peter, what have RiverOak | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
had to say today? RiverOak said that they gave Chris | :06:39. | :06:46. | |
Wells a deadline of 5pm this evening to meet the demands he would face | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
legal action. They have said he has not tonight corrected these | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
libellous allegations but he has asked for extra time. The | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
interesting thing is what happens next. Chris Wells does not defend | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
this, then what his political opponents say is he will become a | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
lame duck council leader because he will not be able to make crucial | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
decisions when it comes to Manston Airport. If he does defend it, I | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
understand these claims against him personally, not the council, so that | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
the question is, does he have enough cash to fight a legal battle against | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
a big company? Because we all know that legal battles can be expensive. | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
Peter, thank you very much. The World War II scrapbook | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
revealing what school life Medical experts have accused the NHS | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
of prejudice against obese patients and even turning some away | :07:32. | :07:44. | |
for surgery they desperately need. Last year, obesity was a factor | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
in more than 33,000 hospital admissions in Kent, Surrey | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
and Sussex - that's a 15% And it's estimated that | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
obesity-related treatment costs the NHS more than | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
?5 billion each year. Tonight, as Charlie Rose reports, | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
one woman from East Sussex, who was forced to pay privately | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
for weight-loss surgery, has said she would have died | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
without the treatment. 52-year-old Karen, from Eastbourne, | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
had her gastric bypass It is where the digestive | :08:16. | :08:28. | |
system is re-routed past But the numbers of NHS surgeries | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
are falling and Karen felt that she had no option but to pay | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
for her treatment herself I was bloated out with water | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
retention and it was causing my Some view obesity | :08:46. | :08:58. | |
as a lifestyle issue. Others see it as a disease that | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
needs specialist treatment. Since April 2013, national policy | :09:03. | :09:10. | |
stipulates that patients undergo a diet and lifestyle programme | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
for two years called Tier 3 services Don't think I could have | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
taken the risk, going I don't think I could | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
have waited that long. In the UK, severe obesity rates have | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
trebled over the last three years and type two diabetes has seen | :09:25. | :09:33. | |
a similar rise. But in the last five years, | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
the number of bariatric operations in the south-east, | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
those are procedures such as fitting a gastric band | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
or performing a gastric bypass, It might be that there is a bit | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
of prejudice out there. It might be that people | :09:46. | :09:55. | |
do not feel this sort of treatment is not only | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
worthwhile, but deserved. Do you think there is any prejudice | :09:58. | :10:06. | |
within health care professionals? Unfortunately, I have to say, | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
yes, I think there is. This is surgery to improve | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
health ? diabetes, blood NHS England says that decisions | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
are informed by best evidence and national | :10:14. | :10:21. | |

evening on BBC Two. A long-awaited decision | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
on the location of a new Thames Crossing linking Kent and Essex | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
is expected tomorrow. Highways England has been | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
recommending a new tunnel east of Gravesend, but ministers have | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
also been considering another The decision follows the largest | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
ever public consultation Gatwick Airport claims its policy | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
on disruptive passengers is working, with fewer incidents reported | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
in 2016 compared It comes after a Parliamentary | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
report said the sale of alcohol to holidaymakers jetting off | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
on early-morning flights should be restricted | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
because of an increase in rowdy The airport says it has a strict | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
policy of not serving alcohol to passengers unable | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
to prove their age. Police officers attending incidents | :11:23. | :11:26. | |

down a footbridge over the M20 in Kent last year has denied causing | :11:39. | :11:58. | |
serious injury by dangerous driving. The incident last August saw 170 | :11:59. | :12:01. | |

forcing a motorcyclist to throw himself from his bike, | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
breaking three ribs. Sara Smith reports from | :12:07. | :12:07. | |
Maidstone Crown Court. Two lorries crushed, | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
a motorcyclist in hospital and a footbridge destroyed | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
by the impact. The low-loader carrying a dumper | :12:12. | :12:12. | |
truck and excavator had been travelling London-bound | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
when the bridge was struck But the whole motorway had to be | :12:16. | :12:16. | |
closed while the remaining structure Today, lorry driver Alan Austin | :12:17. | :12:20. | |

of them and will be back here early The motorcyclist was | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
Jim Shaw from Thamesmead. He explained from his hospital bed | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
where he was being treated for broken ribs how | :12:51. | :12:52. | |
the scene unfolded. The bridge was coming down, almost | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
like in slow motion to start with. Because it is eating | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
its way through the lorry, But then it tore away | :13:03. | :13:04. | |
from the other side. As that came down, | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
it was a matter of throw the bike The footbridge itself | :13:09. | :13:10. | |
had been empty. But on the busy bank holiday | :13:11. | :13:20. | |
weekend, the closure The motorway was closed for a second | :13:21. | :13:22. | |

on South East Today, we'd like to hear from you. | :14:06. | :14:07. | |

There are just over three weeks to go, until we go to the polls | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
in county council elections across the South East, | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
and today the Ukip leader Paul Nuttall said he is expecting | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
these elections to be the "most difficult" the party | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
In 2009, there were no Ukip councillors elected | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
in Kent, Sussex and Surrey But four years later, the party won a total | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
Enough to make it the second-largest party and official opposition | :14:46. | :14:55. | |
against the Conservatives. Our political editor Helen Catt | :14:56. | :14:56. | |
is in Cliftonville, near Margate. Helen, Thanet has come | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
to be seen as something For Ukip comment yes. In 2013, they | :15:00. | :15:16. | |
won seven seats here in Thanet. It was wet night of Irish chose to make | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
his Parliamentary run in 2015, so this area does not have just | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
political importance but symbolic importance. A lot of trains eyes | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
will look here. I caught up with the man in charge of that future, | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
Parliament when he was canvassing today. It was a quieter affair than | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
the sum of former Ukip readers that it is. Palme d'Or on his first trip | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
to Thanet chose Broadstairs. They will represent the community and put | :15:47. | :15:54. | |
the community needs first, and opposed to any building on green | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
belt across the south-east. The Southeast has a huge problem with | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
the number of people in the south-east. We need to keep Ukip on | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
the pitch because we add the guard dogs of Brexit. Ukip gained almost | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
40 seats across the region in 2013. It went on to win the European | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
elections the week after, and take control of Thanet District Council. | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
But in recent months, several power and profile members have quit, | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
raising questions over the party's future relevance. I do not know what | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
the future will be and others will speak for themselves, but for my own | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
part, I wish ex-colleagues well. We have achieved our joint objective of | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
winning a vote to get out of the EU. On the doorstep this morning, a vote | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
of confidence. Ukip did get help to get is out of the EE you, but there | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
are many other things that Ukip can do to help ring Brexit further on. | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
Do you think there is still a role for them? Very much. These people in | :16:59. | :17:06. | |
Cliftonville went entirely sure. I think they have achieved what they | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
set out to and I have not heard any more. Anything Althea wanting to | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
achieve. I do not think they are as relevant as they were before. There | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
are other things happening in the world at the moment. If people stick | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
to their guns and say they will stick with it no matter what, they | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
should be all right. These will probably be the most difficult local | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
elections we will face before 2020. There ran no illusions there, we | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
know where we stand on this, but we are confident we will get Ukip | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
councillors serving their communities well. By the way, these | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
elections could be crucial in what comes next for Ukip. It is no | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
challenge to underestimate for a party to win elections while still | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
being in transition itself. Paul Nuttall told me the party is there | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
to make sure to reason it walks the walk on Brexit, but it is not a | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
single issue party. Trying to get some traction on the policies it has | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
an social care, rail, that will be a challenge for them, too. We will be | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
talking to Labour, the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats before | :18:15. | :18:18. | |

children down to visit the shelters, and when we really discovered | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
the book of paintings, we thought it would be lovely to put | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
these together in some way, partly so the primary school | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
children could enjoy them and have But actually, also, | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
so that we could give Miss Keen's paintings a wider audience, | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
which is what I think they deserve. Her full story remains undiscovered, | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
but Miss Keen's way of making sense of life during war in a school | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
in Kent will be cherished forever. Since the 1950s, Chiddingstone | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
Castle in Kent has been harbouring a mystery dating back over 3,000 | :20:57. | :21:07. | |
years, the lid of an ancient Egyptian coffin, and until now, | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
no-one has been able to say But thanks to the latest | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
scanning technology, experts are actually able to reveal | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
the name of the man It is beautiful, and spellbinding, | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
in an eerie sort of way. It was made as the last resting | :21:24. | :21:37. | |
place for an Egyptian man But it is a coffin lid, | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
something we tend not But say the word "mummy", | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
and our imagination let's rip. It is a very important object, | :21:47. | :21:53. | |
and for our visitors, I think it is probably the most | :21:54. | :21:55. | |
popular object with visitors. You just walk up the stairs, | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
you do not expect to see something like this, | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
so beautiful up here. Its exact origins remain | :22:02. | :22:03. | |
undiscovered, and though it is marked with hieroglyphs, | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
no-one knew the name That is until a group of visitors | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
from the British Museum came round. They knew what they were looking | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
for and they flashed their cameras and they thought that they could see | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
hieroglyphs that they That is where the name is, yes, | :22:20. | :22:21. | |
running down that middle plank. The foot of our mummy was scanned | :22:22. | :22:28. | |
by experts using a technique called It still doesn't look much, | :22:29. | :22:41. | |
but it seems to have done the trick. The camera, which has a greater | :22:42. | :22:49. | |
sensitivity than the human eye was able to pick up very fine | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
remains of pigments that spelled out the hieroglyphs | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
of this person's name. Irethorru is, in fact, | :22:58. | :22:59. | |
a relatively common name So here is Irethorru, | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
the man in the mummy, if you like. And as the ancient Egyptians | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
believed, to speak the name of the dead person was to give | :23:12. | :23:13. | |
them life eternal. And that is just what is | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
happening in this case. A life-after-death story remembered | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
by people of the future, in a place and a cold climate | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
he could never have imagined. Robin Gibson, BBC South East | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
Today, Chiddingstone. Incredible what they can reveal with | :23:30. | :23:38. | |
technology. We started off today with a | :23:39. | :23:56. | |
beautiful sunrise at Broadstairs, all calm and lovely with clear | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
skies. That led to sunshine. Temperatures have climbed to around | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
14 Celsius inland. It has been a touch cooler around the coast as we | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
would expect. If we look at the satellite picture, new can see how | :24:13. | :24:14. | |
much of the country has been enjoying clear skies. Across the | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
north, there is more clout. These will bring a lot more clout towards | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
us, but not a huge amount of rain. Qui risk eyes to the night and it | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
will turn chilly just like last night. We could get down to three | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
Celsius. For most places, we are starting at around six Celsius. Good | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
spells of sunshine around the morning. Weather front is moving its | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
way south, so thickening up the cloud. Later on, there is a small | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
chance we will catch a shower or two, especially parts of North Kent. | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
Through the afternoon, is temperatures will be similar. 14, 15 | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
Celsius. You will see it is a cold front. Not a huge amount of rain on | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
it, but it will bring cloud as it heads across into Thursday night. | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
Occasional showers, not everyone will see them. Certainly would not | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
rely on them. As we start Thursday morning, six, seven Celsius. Once | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
the weather friend has cleared away, we're back to dry weather with good | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
spells of sunshine. The cold front will introduce some cooler air | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
throughout Thursday, so even with sunshine, we are looking | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
temperatures of around 11 Celsius. As far as Easter is concerned, | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
settled, a little bit on the club decided. Possible showers. Does not | :25:40. | :25:47. | |
look too bad does it? Thank you very much, Nina. | :25:48. | :25:48. | |
Before we go, let's recap tonight's top stories. | :25:49. | :25:50. | |
British calls for additional sanctions against Russia to force | :25:51. | :25:52. | |
it to withdraw support for Syria's President Assad | :25:53. | :25:54. | |
have been rejected by G7 foreign ministers. | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
The High Court has ruled that doctors can withdraw life support | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
from a baby with a rare genetic condition, against | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
And south-east politicians have called tonight for migrants | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
in northern France to be relocated far from the Port of Calais, | :26:11. | :26:13. | |
after a huge fire destroyed a camp housing 1,500 people near Dunkirk. | :26:14. | :26:21. | |
We can cross over to Dunkirk now to our reporter. Do we know what is | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
going to happen to the hundreds of migrants living in the camp there? | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
1500 migrants call this place their home. The police are still here | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
tonight stopping any of them returning. I think the authorities | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
will try to disperse the migrants to centres across France, like when | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
there was the closure of the Calle jungle. But some may not want to go. | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
The front runner in the French presidential election has joined the | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
debate. His team say that France is increasingly acting as bodyguards | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
for the UK and that many to be discussed during Brexit. That is it | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
for us from this evening. We will have updates in our late Litton at | :27:07. | :27:08. | |
10:25pm. There have never been | :27:09. | :27:35. | |
so many people in work - that's what the Government | :27:36. | :27:37. | |
keeps telling us. But what's the reality of this | :27:38. | :27:39. | |
Tory jobs bonanza? | :27:40. | :27:43. |
