:00:22. > :00:23.Another migrant camp doubles in size 40 miles from Calais -
:00:24. > :00:30.where charities have been ordered not to give out food.
:00:31. > :00:34.And it's been a lovely day with highs of 17 degrees, but it will be
:00:35. > :00:43.cooler tomorrow. Police confirmed today that human
:00:44. > :00:48.remains found in a Welsh reservoir ARE those of a Kent woman

:00:59. > :01:01.of her murder and jailed - but Michael Bowen never revealed
:01:02. > :01:04.what he'd done with her body. Sandie's daughter Anita Giles
:01:05. > :01:08.says she believes he should still be in jail.
:01:09. > :01:13.Sara Smith reports. A mix of wanting to know
:01:14. > :01:20.what happened to her mum and a tiny fraction of hope
:01:21. > :01:22.that without a body, she might not be gone
:01:23. > :01:24.after all. Obviously I never knew what had
:01:25. > :01:26.happened, only what had been surmised by the court case that
:01:27. > :01:32.the probability was that she was murdered, she was
:01:33. > :01:38.dumped, disposed of, never knowing where,
:01:39. > :01:41.and that is Her mother Sandie
:01:42. > :01:47.was running a B in Folkestone who was working on the channel
:01:48. > :01:54.tunnel construction. His third wife, she went back
:01:55. > :01:57.to live with him in Wales, but in a jealous
:01:58. > :01:59.rage she killed her. He was convicted of her
:02:00. > :02:03.murder a year later and then jailed, but would not
:02:04. > :02:06.say where her body was. Last month, remains were found
:02:07. > :02:08.at a reservoir in Wales. Now, DNA tests have confirmed
:02:09. > :02:14.they were Sandie's. Now her daughter

:02:17. > :02:18.goodbye to her mother. She will bring her ashes home
:02:19. > :02:22.to be scattered in Kent. Normal people lose somebody,

:02:40. > :02:44.constantly... all the time, in the
:02:45. > :02:47.forefront of your mind. Not a day goes by when I didn't
:02:48. > :02:51.think about my mum. Michael Bowen was released
:02:52. > :02:55.on licence two years ago. His victim's daughter says
:02:56. > :02:57.he should have had to give up his dark secret before
:02:58. > :03:02.that was allowed to happen. Sara Smith is live in Cheriton -
:03:03. > :03:05.and Sara, Sandie Bowen's daughter is supporting a campaign
:03:06. > :03:19.for a change in the law... Yes, a campaign called Helen's law
:03:20. > :03:23.which was set up by the famine of Helen McCall from Merseyside who was
:03:24. > :03:27.murdered nearly 30 years ago and her body has never been found. The
:03:28. > :03:32.killer wouldn't say where it was, even after as in this case it was
:03:33. > :03:35.found guilty of murdering and sent to prison. The new law would mean
:03:36. > :03:43.that killers couldn't get parole if they refused to say where the
:03:44. > :03:46.victims are. MPs voted of this in favour in the autumn but it needs a
:03:47. > :03:47.second reading before passed into law.
:03:48. > :03:51.The government has in the last few hours released dozens of pages
:03:52. > :03:53.of correspondence with Surrey council in the ongoing row
:03:54. > :03:56.about an alleged 'sweetheart deal' over plans to raise council tax
:03:57. > :03:59.by 15%. It suggests that a late night
:04:00. > :04:01.conversation between a Surrey MP and a Government Minister may have
:04:02. > :04:06.been instrumental in calling off the referendum.
:04:07. > :04:09.The Prime Minister and the Council Leader David Hodge have both
:04:10. > :04:13.repeatedly denied any special deal was agreed.
:04:14. > :04:18.Our political editor is here with us. Why has the government on
:04:19. > :04:28.Both it and Surrey seem to have a loss of freedom of implications
:04:29. > :04:31.requested. We want to get it all out there. You think that we have
:04:32. > :04:34.learned this evening are that the Treasury and the Department of
:04:35. > :04:38.Health were both approached for Esh cash for Surrey but no joy. There
:04:39. > :04:43.was also letters that seemed to back up the idea of frantic last-minute
:04:44. > :04:46.no negotiations, so the day before, began to budget setting, the letter
:04:47. > :04:51.from the government says to Surrey that it gets that it cannot take any
:04:52. > :04:55.further a scheme that sorry seems to have pinned its Oberon, making it
:04:56. > :04:58.the first Council of its type to call its business rates with the
:04:59. > :05:03.following morning, though, there is a text message sent by Surrey offers
:05:04. > :05:07.to a government official, talking about an unnamed Surrey MP having
:05:08. > :05:12.had a phone call late last night with Sajid Javid, the Minister. In
:05:13. > :05:22.the text seems to indicate that governments are willing to in get
:05:23. > :05:25.funding from 20 team. A shredded as an 18. The government has said that
:05:26. > :05:30.what Surrey was told was that it can apply next year for the scheme when
:05:31. > :05:35.all other councils like it can do, so that is a special deal. Remember
:05:36. > :05:38.that secret recording, though, that earlier in the week? Earlier, the
:05:39. > :05:40.David Hodge Surrey leader said that he would go for a referendum again
:05:41. > :06:09.next year if agreement went on it. now, if the government were to deny
:06:10. > :06:12.Surrey's accusation this year, it was difficult to see how they could
:06:13. > :06:13.do that without causing an even bigger row than they have had this
:06:14. > :06:14.time round. The jury in the trial of a man
:06:15. > :06:18.accused of murdering his ex girlfriend at her home in Portslade
:06:19. > :06:20.have been played a recorded telephone conversation
:06:21. > :06:22.between the two, in which he told Shana Grice and Michael Lane
:06:23. > :06:26.were talking after Lane had taken a key from her home,
:06:27. > :06:29.let himself into her house and gone into her bedroom
:06:30. > :06:32.while she was asleep. Shana was found dead at her home
:06:33. > :06:38.just over a month later. The largest 20mph zone
:06:39. > :06:40.in Kent will be launched in Tunbridge Wells tomorrow
:06:41. > :06:43.to tackle the problem of speeding. The controversial speed limits have
:06:44. > :06:46.already been introduced in other parts of the South East,
:06:47. > :06:49.including Brighton and Ashford. But one council in the North
:06:50. > :06:53.of England is reviewing its scheme after a study suggested the average
:06:54. > :06:56.speed of drivers had only gone down Now, while police maintain
:06:57. > :07:03.a zero tolerance approach to migrants in Calais,
:07:04. > :07:05.another camp is developing 40 miles It's doubled in size in recent
:07:06. > :07:10.months, and has become a magnet for people trying get to Kent
:07:11. > :07:13.via the Channel. 120 migrants are now
:07:14. > :07:17.being turned away Peter Whittlesea has sent this
:07:18. > :07:25.report from the town of Steenvord. On the edge of the motorway this
:07:26. > :07:28.wood is home to around 100 migrants. The camp has been closed twice
:07:29. > :07:31.in the last six months, but when the police leave the many
:07:32. > :07:33.migrants return. The land owner said the French
:07:34. > :07:45.authorities are failing to act. TRANSLATION: I can no
:07:46. > :07:48.longer use the wood, I can't let my children
:07:49. > :07:50.there, I bought land in the countryside so my children could
:07:51. > :07:56.The authorities do what they can but the migrants come in
:07:57. > :08:02.One local charity in says since the Calais Jungle has
:08:03. > :08:06.closed, the number of migrants in area has doubled, and with no
:08:07. > :08:28.official hostels, migrants camp where they can.
:08:29. > :08:30.The increased security and the mayor of Calais's
:08:31. > :08:34.decision to stop charities issuing food, it is to encourage people from
:08:35. > :08:37.staying away Calais but doesn't address the problem that migrants
:08:38. > :08:49.Outside of these zones in the city, we can distribute food but as
:08:50. > :08:51.numbers increase it will become visible, and that is will
:08:52. > :08:59.happen when that critical mass appear back in Calais.
:09:00. > :09:02.Where are we going to feed those people?
:09:03. > :09:09.But back in Britain there is zero tolerance
:09:10. > :09:13.to migrants living in Calais, backed by Dover MP.
:09:14. > :09:15.They need to make sure that the Jungle
:09:16. > :09:19.doesn't reform but that they stop these migrants
:09:20. > :09:21.getting into Calais before they missed the opportunity to get
:09:22. > :09:32.120 migrants are being arrested in Calais each day,
:09:33. > :09:34.charities call for a solution, is not to move it
:09:35. > :09:37.Now it's been a very spring like day,
:09:38. > :09:43.but it's not going to last, is it, Nina?
:09:44. > :09:49.Unfortunately not, we saw 17 degrees in a couple of places today with all
:09:50. > :09:54.of that lovely sunshine around, but tomorrow it will increase the cloud
:09:55. > :09:57.and temperatures will come down. After a taste of spring today it is
:09:58. > :10:02.all change for tomorrow. We will hold out a little bit of hope for
:10:03. > :10:06.Saturday, a return of some of the brighter signs. Through tonight,
:10:07. > :10:10.starting off with clear spells, cloud thickening up, and we see
:10:11. > :10:13.Misty and murky conditions around Sussex coasts. Temperature is in the
:10:14. > :10:17.countryside around 4 degrees, but for most starting at around 5-6.
:10:18. > :10:22.Some early brightness across parts of east Kent, further west to seeing
:10:23. > :10:25.increasing amounts of cloud, cloud bringing with it patchy light rain
:10:26. > :10:29.and drizzle, throughout an afternoon. Sunshine across east Kent
:10:30. > :10:35.could see highs of 13-14 degrees, but with cloudy skies across the
:10:36. > :10:41.afternoon most of us will be pegged at 9-10. A slow start to Saturday,
:10:42. > :10:44.with cloud still around but during the afternoon holes in the cloud
:10:45. > :10:51.brighten up nicely, with some sunny spells developing. Winds from the
:10:52. > :10:56.south as well, lifting temperatures widely, 13-14 degrees, a fee places
:10:57. > :11:00.might just match that 16-17. Things change against terror with Weathers
:11:01. > :11:01.and cloud outbreaks of rain, temperatures back down again on
:11:02. > :11:03.Sunday. The day. On Sunday, cloudier, maybe
:11:04. > :11:16.spots of rain. Good evening, in the spring sunshine
:11:17. > :11:19.we saw temperatures as high as 17.5 Celsius. Not as warm or Sonning on
:11:20. > :11:24.Friday. Still a lot of dry, settled weather in the forecast for the next
:11:25. > :11:28.few days. This was the sunset captured by one of our Weather
:11:29. > :11:31.Watchers. Clear skies there. We have had increasing amounts of cloud
:11:32. > :11:34.moving in from the West. Through the remainder of tonight we will
:11:35. > :11:37.continue to see that cloud across the south-west of England, the
:11:38. > :11:42.Channel Isles, weaving in across Wales, Northern Ireland and western
:11:43. > :11:44.Scotland. Bringing with it some outbreaks of drizzly rain,
:11:45. > :11:49.particularly around the coast and the hills. Further east, clear skies
:11:50. > :11:52.and the coldest temperatures. We are likely to see frost across eastern
:11:53. > :11:55.parts of Scotland by Friday morning. The west of Scotland will see the
:11:56. > :11:58.cloud moving in, bringing spots of light, drizzly rain. A similar
:11:59. > :11:59.picture for Northern Ireland.
