Today's main headlines in the South East... | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Jail for the Bulgarian trafficking gang who smuggled dozens of illegal | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
On the eve of fresh talks, a fresh war of words between the RMT | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
And after a great, called weekend, the sunshine was back again today | :00:15. | :00:22. | |
and it is turning milder this week. Six Bulgarian people-traffickers | :00:23. | :00:40. | |
have been jailed for a total of 35 years for bringing dozens of illegal | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
migrants, including several The gang used vans fitted out | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
with hidden compartments, in what the judge called | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
a "well-organised Look in the side of this van | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
and all appears to be in order, but the doors at the back | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
are actually fake. In this narrow gap | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
between the genuine doors and the pretend ones, | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
migrants had to sit One of the drivers putting garlic | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
bulbs in the floor of his van to try to put sniffer dogs | :01:04. | :01:11. | |
off the scent. It is fair to say this is a highly | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
sophisticated concealment from a well organised organised | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
crime group with capacity However, the nature | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
of the concealment is I think, on these occasions, | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
we are lucky we are not Today, cousins Yordan Donchev | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
and Sashko Georgiev were each given prison sentences of three | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
and a half years. On Friday, Ivan Georgiev | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
was jailed for nine years, Veselin Denikov for seven years, | :01:36. | :01:43. | |
Iliyan Marinov and Georgi Stankov The court heard the smuggling trips | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
were made from Calais and Dunkirk into Dover, | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
and from Hook in Well, this case shows the very | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
extreme lengths that people-traffickers will go | :01:52. | :02:09. | |
to to help people break into the country and that is why | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
it is so important that we work with France to ensure that we tackle | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
the people-traffickers, end their evil trade of modern | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
slavery, and that we make sure that the Calais Jungle does | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
not return this spring. Last year, two men were jailed | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
for smuggling 18 Albanian migrants into the UK when their inflatable | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
boat started sinking. The Home Office insists | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
it is stepping up the battle against the people smugglers, | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
but as we showed last week, many migrants remain in France | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
and are still desperate to get What do we know about the people | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
smuggled into Britain by the gang? Well, 37 in total are mainly from | :02:43. | :03:01. | |
Afghanistan, including several women and children. We have heard from a | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
Home Office 's evening and they have said all are trying to claim asylum | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
in the UK, but it is not yet clear whether any of those claims have | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
been successful. In relation to the two men sentenced today, they were | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
told they received 3000 euros for driving the van but we know that the | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
illegal immigrants will pay a lot more to people smugglers to get | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
across the channel, so these men were quite low down the chain, yet, | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
the judge says nevertheless these men have played an important role. | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
Thank you for that. A police helicopter has been | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
searching tonight for a 55-year-old man who's gone missing | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
from his home near Tonbridge. Charles Young left Brenchley at six | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
o'clock this morning. He was due back by 10am | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
but hasn't been seen since. His car has been found nearby | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
and police say they're increasingly Campaigners calling for lifeguards | :03:48. | :03:49. | |

after Rother District Council's cabinet approved funding | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
of ?51,000 for the service. Seven men drowned off | :03:57. | :03:58. | |

Rohan Ince attacked a nightclub bouncer with a bottle, | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
leaving him with a head injury requiring seven | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
staples, a court has heard. The 24-year-old denies wounding | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
with intent outside the nightclub in Windsor in the early hours | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
of Christmas Day in 2015 Southern rail and the RMT union | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
are set to hold fresh talks aimed at resolving the dispute over | :04:23. | :04:31. | |
driver-only operation which has been Today the union claimed that 1,000 | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
services a year are already running without a second crew member | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
on board, which they claim puts passengers at risk in the event | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
of a crime or an accident. Officials are defiant ahead | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
of tomorrow's talks. What we're trying to do is go | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
there tomorrow in good faith and ensure that there's a second | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
safety-critical person If that doesn't happen, | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
I'm afraid we're back in dispute. Southern managers deny passenger | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
safety is being put at risk. Our reporter John Young | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
is at Haywards Heath Station now... Southern did broker a deal | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
with Aslef recently, how likely is a breakthrough | :05:05. | :05:05. | |
with the RMT tomorrow? It looks as if it could possibly be, | :05:06. | :05:21. | |
rock, for two reasons. Firstly, Dieke announcement on Thursday from | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
Aslef, the other unions involved, more on that shortly. Firstly, the | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
talks tomorrow involving RMT. Nobody I think it is a busy expect a big | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
breakthrough, we heard the call they are from Mr Hedley, very defined. | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
Passengers that I spoke to when I told them the union was meeting for | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
the seventh set of talks, none expected much either. | :05:46. | :05:45. | |
I don't think anything is going to be sorted. | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
Nothing has been sorted so far, so what is to say anything | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
I can't miss my train because I've got lessons. | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
I think it may well do in the end but it will need | :05:57. | :06:05. | |
So, all eyes and then on Thursday. Aslef the other drivers union will | :06:06. | :06:15. | |
announce whether or not they have reached an agreement and other | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
members have voted to approve an agreement with Southern rail. If | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
they have, Southern rail will think they are on to victory. The RMT will | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
hold them below the water line because the drivers in this dispute | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
are so important. In the past, over 100 years, I understand, only twice | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
have Aslef members actually disagreed with their leadership, | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
that is good news for Southern rail but my understanding is that on | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
Thursday meeting is good because, it is expected to be a very tight | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
ballot result coming up. So the dispute is clearly not over yet. | :06:54. | :06:54. | |
Thank you. Biggin Hill has been celebrating 100 | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
years of involvement in aviation today with a very special fly-past, | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
involving a 100-year-old The 13th of February | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
1917 saw Biggin selected as the site for an experimental | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
wireless communications station. During the Battle of Britain, | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
it was a key strategic base for Hurricanes and Spitfires, | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
protecting the skies over Kent In 1974 it became a commercial | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
airport for private Biggin Hill's past and its present | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
flying wing to wing. A Learjet for transporting today's | :07:18. | :07:34. | |
wealthy clientele and a Spitfire, for many, the emblem | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
of Britain's World War II victory. And this airport played a crucial | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
role in that victory It was guarding the southern | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
approaches to London and therefore, it was the first to meet | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
the Luftwaffe and, of course, the Luftwaffe came over this place | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
25 times until there was hardly anything left standing, | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
but it was always operational. Among those celebrating | :08:02. | :08:11. | |
the airport's 100th year, And today he got to fly | :08:12. | :08:12. | |
again in a Spitfire, the aircraft he had been learning | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
to fly in 1940, before an accident The aircraft caught fire | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
and I had to bail out, my parachute did not open properly | :08:20. | :08:28. | |
and I was injured, my right Today's flight alongside a Learjet, | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
a very different scene to that of 1940 when the Battle | :08:32. | :08:41. | |
of Britain raged here. Fighter planes like this one based | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
here at Biggin Hill brought down It was at a heavy price, | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
though, 453 airmen based The role they played has | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
never been forgotten. Neither for Ray has | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
the joy of flying. The RAF has long gone, | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
stopping its last operations The airport's future much | :09:08. | :09:17. | |
more gloss than grit. Sara Smith, BBC South | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
East Today, Biggin Hill. Now let's take a look | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
at the weather for the South East Rachel - it's going to warm | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
up a bit this week? Yes, that is correct. After a cold, | :09:31. | :09:41. | |
cloudy and snowy weekend, all James Nesbitt. We had a bright start but | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
we still have these bitterly cold easterly winds. It is going back in | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
a westerly direction as we speak. Some rain around, particularly for | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
Wednesday, decent spells of sunshine. By Wednesday, highs of 12. | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
Tonight, overnight, because of the winds and despite clear skies, | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
temperatures only dropping to two or three degrees. Again, lots of | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
sunshine during the morning. We lose some of that during the afternoon, | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
more cloud, temperatures creeping up, highs of around 10 degrees. The | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
winds are moving to a South-Easterly direction, still breezy but nothing | :10:17. | :10:24. | |
like the blog North-Easterly winds we had today. Tuesday and Wednesday, | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
very mild. Lots of cloud and potentially some rain at times, just | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
look at these overnight temperatures, seven or 8 degrees and | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
on Saturday, we struggled during the afternoon to reach to days or three | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
degrees. Gary Mabbutt on Wednesday, mostly gyre -- bride during the | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
morning but by the afternoon some light and patchy rain. Temperatures | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
could potentially reach 1112 degrees, wider reaching nine or ten. | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
For Thursday and Friday, this area of high pressure is going to be | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
building in so we should see some spells of whether and a decent | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
sunshine. Temperatures around nine or 10 degrees. Mild overnight. | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
at the weekend it will be mild. Largely dry, perhaps a wind -- windy | :11:01. | :11:07. |
