Here, on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Today's main headlines in the South-East: | :00:07. | :00:08. | |
Sussex police release CCTV of a carjacker luring a 72-year-old | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
woman out of her vehicle before stealing it. | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
Moving the mountain - the refuse tip that's blighted | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
the lives of Kent residents for years is finally being cleared. | :00:21. | :00:31. | |
After a wet, mild day, the sunshine is back again for tomorrow. | :00:32. | :00:42. | |
Sussex police are tonight hunting a carjacker who lured a 72-year-old | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
woman out of her vehicle before making his escape in it. | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
The shocking moment at a supermarket in Heathfield was caught on CCTV. | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
She got out of the car after he offered to help her | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
with a leak, then he drove away hitting her on the leg. | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
10:30am in a quiet market town in East Sussex. | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
This 72-year-old woman is about to set off for home | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
in her Ford Focus after some shopping, when she is stopped by | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
He persuades her out of the car, saying her bonnet is leaking. | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
Next thing she knows, he's driving off with it, | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
Thankfully, she was physically relatively unhurt. | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
The knock to the knee, she will be struggling with it. | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
It is obviously, like you say, very callous and she has taken this | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
chap on his best intentions that he was trying to help | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
her and has been conned and had her car stolen as a result. | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
The pensioner was not badly physically hurt, | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
but left shocked and frightened and people in Heathfield | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
who we showed the footage to today were horrified that this could have | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
I think that's cheeky, that he's got the... | :01:43. | :01:51. | |
I think that's terrible, isn't it, in this day and age? | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
I suppose, now that we know, it's trying not to get | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
Nothing ever happens in Heathfield, fortunately. | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
But according to the AA, this is just the latest in a spate | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
The kind of episode that happened here with this woman is the kind | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
of thing that another car might sometimes bump into the back | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
of your car, you then get out of the car and the criminals jump | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
It's worth being alert and if you're suspicious at all dial 999. | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
The man was described by the victim as being in his mid-40s and stocky. | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
Her car was found a few days later abandoned seven | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
Sussex Police hope this CCTV will prompt someone to come forward | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
with information and are advising people to be careful | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
about not getting out of their cars without their keys. | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
Ian, do we know any more about the victim? | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
We know that the victim is 72, she lives locally and that she does not | :03:07. | :03:25. | |
want identity disclosed. However, Sussex Police said the GE is very | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
pleased that the story is being covered this evening and that the | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
CCTV footage is in the public domain and she hopes someone will come | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
forward with information. Physically, we have been told that | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
she is well and she didn't need hospital treatment, but as you can | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
well imagine, she has been very much shaken by what has happened. | :03:48. | :03:48. | |
she has been very much shaken by what has happened. | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
The NHS trust responsible for hospitals in East Kent | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
is to come out of special measures after nearly three years, | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
after an inspection by the health watchdog. | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
It has improved in areas including Accident Emergency, | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
It no longer has any areas rated as inadequate, | :04:00. | :04:08. | |
but the Care Quality Commission says it still requires improvement. | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
Our Health correspondent Mark Norman reports. | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
Joyce has had an MRI scan and is getting a course | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
of antibiotics and she's an example of new systems introduced | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
by the hospital trust, and highlighted by inspectors, | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
which allows the hospital to give patient care more quickly and get | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
them home rather than admit them to a ward. | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
They've seen a decision maker reviewing these | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
patients at the front door, assessing their clinical needs | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
and often trying to help manage their conditions | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
without the need to be admitted into a hospital bed. | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
In the past, inspectors have also strongly criticised the trust | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
for not coordinating their three acute hospital sites. | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
This is how the trust use technology. | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
These are the three hospitals in East Kent. | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
The trust as a total looks at patients coming | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
into Accident Emergency, admitted into patient care, | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
the number of patients who are, perhaps, in a bed who needn't be | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
who could be transferred out, and it's updated minute by minute | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
and used by staff throughout all three hospitals to try and make | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
sure the trust is working as efficiently as possible. | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
So, yes, inspectors have recognised these improvements and even | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
recommended East Kent comes out of special measures. | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
Low staffing levels, patients waiting too long for cancer | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
There's still a long way to go for the trust and we made the trust | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
aware that there are areas in maternity, notably, | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
in terms of their staffing levels, and also with their end-of-life | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
Care Pathway, which is still very early in its implementation. | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
Really, the hard work has been done by thousands of staff right | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
across the organisation and that work will carry on. | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
It's been a huge amount of work so far, but there is a lot more work | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
to do and that work will absolutely carry on so we can provide even | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
better services to patients right across East Kent. | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
Late this afternoon, I witnessed more new ways of working. | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
On-the-ward meetings with various organisations | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
including social care, physios, doctors, and all led | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
And you wanted to say about the care you've had today... | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
Our reporter Peter Whittlesea has been following this story. | :06:14. | :06:25. | |
Despite this news, the trust still has improvements | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
This is a recommendation, so the recommendation is that the come out | :06:28. | :06:40. | |
of special measures, and they will get help with the financial | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
problems, and the winter problems that they have. The number of people | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
going to accident and emergency is ridiculously busy, even on a weekday | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
afternoon. Senior medical staff say this is a significant milestone. It | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
will help recruit and retain staff. They accept there is still work to | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
do but they think that the trust has turned the tide. | :07:04. | :07:04. | |
For the last five years, people on Cornwall Drive | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
in St Paul s Cray have been blighted by an enormous pile | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
Gathered from across Kent, it stood 40 feet tall, | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
with the constant threat of spontaneous fires, foul smells, | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
dust and vermin on the area, but after a long-running legal | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
battle, work to remove the rubbish finally got underway last month. | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
Residents say getting rid of the rubbish feels | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
Our Environment correspondent, Yvette Austin, has | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
Up to 30 lorry-loads a day are being taken away. | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
It's the legacy of Waste4Fuel, recycling company that failed to do | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
what the Environment Agency ordered and went into liquidation. | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
After living with the blight for more than five years, | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
You get a lot of dust still coming up and the smell can be | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
But, anyway, we're happy that i's going, that's the main thing. | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
At its worst, the pile was 40 feet high and 60 feet wide. | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
The owners were taking money for rubbish arriving, | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
but not bearing the cost of its recycling and removal. | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
Local people, like Lesley Easton, campaigned for action. | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
He suffers from breathing problems and says now rats | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
They got in our cupboard, ate all our teabags, sugar, | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
Originally, the pile was estimated to be 20,000 tonnes of rubbish, | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
but knowing what it looked like initially and knowing how | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
much has gone and how much is still to go, | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
there could have been nearer to 30,000 tonnes. | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
It's taken months of negotiation to secure a deal to allow | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
Bromley Council has now taken ownership of the site | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
and the Environment Agency is paying 90% of the ?2.7 million | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
Attention is turning to what will happen to the land, | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
which is green belt and next to a Kent Wildlife | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
We could perhaps have a small education centre here. | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
We have the lakes of special scientific interest directly behind. | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
Somehow work with a charity, a nature-based charity, | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
The clearance was due to finish mid-January, | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
but will probably take longer because of the extent of the job. | :09:19. | :09:27. | |
Charlton missed out on a chance to climb into the top ten | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
We'll have the national weather in a moment. | :09:31. | :09:44. | |
First, here's the forecast for the South-East with Rachel. | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
Good evening. It has been a rather miserable day. We have been seeing | :09:47. | :09:54. | |
brain, lots of cloud but it has been mild, but top temperatures of 11 or | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
12 degrees. I think the brain will 12 degrees. I think the brain will | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
intensify for the first part of this evening, but eventually it does | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
clear and banged that we have clearer skies and temperatures Rudi | :10:07. | :10:07. | |
Voller Norway. It is a chilly the Voller Norway. It is a chilly | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
day on Thursday, loose in rural day on Thursday, loose in rural | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
spots of two or three degrees. So a chilly start and initially there | :10:19. | :10:19. | |
will be missed and fog. Quite a will be missed and fog. Quite a | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
different date tomorrow to today's, we will see decent spells of | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
sunshine, gentle winds. Temperatures by the afternoon of reaching 8 | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
degrees, so down on the values we had today, but much more pleasant | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
feeling afternoon. Into Friday, clearer skies, temperatures falling | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
away to two or three degrees in more rural spots, four or five along the | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
coast. We start the day on a dry note. The winds will be picking up | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
as we had through the day on Friday we will be seeing some rain, top | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
temperatures of 11 or 12 degrees. Towards the Christmas weekend, very | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
windy and mild, but mostly dry. By here is a closer look at the | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
National good for us. Mild by the time we | :11:03. | :11:03. | |
reach Christmas Day. | :11:04. | :11:06. |
