22/10/2016 South East Today

A far right protest group from America staged its first

demonstration in the UK in Margate today.

The march, which attracted opposition groups, was heavhly

Britain's first White Lives Matter march was met

..but passed through Margatd without serious incident.

The organisers say they want to highlight immigration,

child grooming scandals and what they describe as a genocide

If you look at London, the capital city of our country

Because white people, again, it fits in with whitd

genocide, this has been a white country, it should remain

a predominantly white country and that is not being racist.

There was two arrests - one on suspicion of a public

order offence, another for obstructing the highway.

A large number of police from Kent, Essex and Sussex kep marchers

Margate is a beautifully diverse town, we embrace all people

and that these people are allowed to march here appalls me.

There is no place for divishon, racism and fascism in today's

Kent Police thanked people for ensuring the town remained calm.

People living near a recyclhng centre in Tunbridge Wells

which caught fire this mornhng were told to keep windows and doors

closed as a plume of smoke covered the area.

A bay containing carpets and mattresses was well alight

by the time fire crews arrived at the recycling

The road was shut for the d`y as crews damped down the arda.

A crash involving a minbus `nd a car on the A27 has resulted in heavy

congestion on all roads arotnd Lewes.

It happened earlier this afternoon on the westbound carriagewax

No passengers were in the minbus at the time.

Sussex Police have held thehr first ever dedicated event for melbers

of the Albanian community today to improve trust and dialogte

It comes after high profile court cases in the county

involving Albanian gangs - now the force says they hopd this

Meet the Police event will dstablish a positive dialogue.

Dancing a traditional Albanhan dance side by side with local polhce,

councillors and everyone who has been working in the city to improve

This was very much a day to celebrate Albanian culture

but also about helping Sussex Police to help them.

We understood there was a growing Albanian community within Brighton

and Hove and we were finding it very difficult to speak and engage

with them, and this is around supporting them to increase

the trust and confidence in the community so they can report

Cases like the shooting of an Albanian scaffolder from Kent

in Hove in 2013 and the kidnapping of a drug dealer by a gang

in Brighton have made national headlines and made many Alb`nians

Local people here today said it is important to bring an end

When they see local authorities they see it as a kind of threat

but at the end of the day they do their bit and we do our bit.

Working together we managed to achieve something like this.

It is important because somd people like us are scared of the police

but I think we should communicate with all communities,

not just police, because thdn we can help each other.

This event is the first of hts kind here in Brighton and Hove

but it is very much hoped it will not be the last.

The Albanian community are hnvited to come and meet in the mayor's

parlour to celebrate Albani`n independence day month.

It has not been a bad day on the whole with

We started on a misty note, but that lifted and the low cloud

lifted and we had decent spells of sunshine.

You can see in Kent along the coast

Overnight there is the risk one or two

In the morning, the mist and fog will

lift and we will have some lovely spells of sunshine but we whll

notice an increasing wind developing,

things feel cool, particularly along the east coast.

Into next week we hang onto that easterly breeze

and it will feel chilly with temperatures

A bit more sunshine for Tuesday and Wednesday.

That's all for now. Join us tomorrow evening. Have a good weekend.
