There are calls tonight for the Government to step tp border

security in the South East after footage emerged

of what appears to be a grotp of migrants getting out of the back

Maria Caulfield, the MP for Lewes and Newhaven, wants to see

Only yetserday four suspected migrants

were found in a separate incident in Bridge near Canterbury.

Climbing out of a truck onto a busy motorway,

this footage appears to show four or five people, believed

to be suspected migrants, getting out of the back door

of this lorry near the Dartford Crossing.

The man who filmed it told le what he saw.

The driver of the lorry in front of us come out of his cab,

went to the rear, undone security locks on the rear of his vehicle

and started ushering out some people.

I mean, you certainly hear `bout it on the news and you see it

in the newspapers, but it comes as a surprise

Incidents like these are becoming a familiar tale.

Last year, in Rochester, a viewer filmed these extraordinary

pictures of what appears to be a group of illegal immigrants

being smuggled into Kent inside cars on the back of a transporter lorry.

Earlier this month, 24 people were found in the back of a freezer

Only last week, I reported on the story of a suspected migrant

who was found dead in a lorry near Folkestone.

Now one south-east MP said she is calling on the Government

I'm very shocked to see those pictures and it corroborates

with what some of my residents have been telling me

I have the Port of New Haven in my constituency and I have had

reports of residents saying they are seeing people

I'm taking it very seriouslx because we've got immigration rules

in this country that need to be followed for everyone's sakd,

not just residents of the country, but also the migrants

because they are often at the hands of people trafficking

It's not known if this latest incident has anything to do

with the ongoing dismantling of the migrant camp in Calahs,

police believe there are still around 100 childrdn there.

Their plight was raised in the Commons today by another

Meanwhile, the company which operates the lorry

said its driver passed all controls and scanners,

and believes the people may have got on during the ferry crossing.

Kent Police said no trace of the suspected migrants w`s found.

The Home Office said it has launched an investigation.

Brighton's i360 has been officially opened by the Duke of Edinbtrgh

The attraction has had a nulber of technical problems since it

started taking paying custolers in August, but today's

His report includes some fl`sh photography.

The sun came out and so did the crowds.

The 95-year-old Duke may hilself have been behind schedule btt

Above all, his journey, his flight went smoothly.

A relief to the organisers, all too aware that three

times in five days last month, people became trapped in pods

when oversensitive safety sensors locked the doors.

Shortly before he met the Dtke, I asked the architecht how `nxious

Some minor issues were solvdd very quickly in the early days btt it

How undermining were those issues for sales?

I don't think they really affected sales very much

at all in the end, we did 100,0 0 visitors in the first 25 daxs.

It has taken a long time to reach this point.

Brighton residents came up with something very similar.

50 years later, after much heated debate,

work got underway backed by the council.

Those surprise that the man sent to represent the council

at today's reception was thd head of economic development.

It is something that was entered into, there were conflicting

discussions as to whether wd should enter into this or not,

but now it's here and we've got to push it and make sure it works.

For the crowd who turned out today to see the Duke, the

economic reason was hardly a priority, they just wanted to see

It's nice to see him, especially in our city.

I quite like the wildly inappropriate things

The closest we came to that was a gentle

ribbing from the Duke, saying the tower had opened

to the public 12 weeks before he opened it himself.

A controversy-free day, and that's how everybody wanted it.

Scientists have confirmed that what looked like a brown pebble

found in Sussex more than a decade ago is in fact the first known
