Prison staff were forced to retreat to safety when inmates

:00:10.:00:14.

went on the rampage at an East Sussex jail.

:00:15.:00:16.

Cells and offices were damaged in the disorder at Lewes Prhson

:00:17.:00:19.

The disturbance was brought to an end by a national response unit.

:00:20.:00:26.

The Ministry of Justice says the prison is secure,

:00:27.:00:30.

but the Prison Officers Association plan to take action nationally

:00:31.:00:34.

this week to highlight concdrns about safety in prisons.

:00:35.:00:36.

Just after 7am, prison officers gathered outside the Lewes Prison

:00:37.:00:42.

while specialist officers entered the jail.

:00:43.:00:45.

They were there to restore order after what was described as a

:00:46.:00:48.

serious disturbance, which apparently began

:00:49.:00:51.

when staff tried to put prisoners back into their cdlls

:00:52.:00:55.

Those prisoners refused to go away and started showing violent and

:00:56.:00:58.

Staff felt under fear, so they retreated

:00:59.:01:02.

to a place of safety and

:01:03.:01:04.

then, once the wing was evacuated of staff,

:01:05.:01:06.

the prisoners went on the

:01:07.:01:07.

rampage and started to destroy offices and furniture, and some

:01:08.:01:11.

prisoners that were locked behind the cells started

:01:12.:01:14.

Over the past two years, safety concerns about

:01:15.:01:21.

Lewes Prison have been raisdd by both prisoners and prison staff.

:01:22.:01:24.

I have never, ever known Lewes Prison to be rocky.

:01:25.:01:32.

It's something and it is going to go.

:01:33.:01:34.

The causes of yesterday's vholence are not yet known.

:01:35.:01:37.

The prison will be on a restricted regime today and families

:01:38.:01:39.

have already been on social media saying their visits have

:01:40.:01:42.

You can see the contractors' vehicles

:01:43.:01:44.

They've been brought in to love prisoners involved in the

:01:45.:01:47.

incident to other prisons around the UK.

:01:48.:01:50.

The Ministry of Justice told us that prisoners involved would

:01:51.:01:52.

On Wednesday of this week, the Prison Officers Association will

:01:53.:01:58.

take action across the country to highlight their concerns about

:01:59.:02:01.

An investigation is underwax following a suspicious fire

:02:02.:02:09.

Emergency services were called to St James's primary school

:02:10.:02:15.

on the Isle of Grain just after 1am this morning.

:02:16.:02:18.

Eight fire engines tackled what the Fire Service descrhbed

:02:19.:02:20.

Fire crews spent most of thhs morning damping down the scdne.

:02:21.:02:25.

A man has been arrested in Brighton after a two-hour

:02:26.:02:32.

The 26-year-old climbed scaffolding in Bartholomew Square

:02:33.:02:35.

He was said to be in a distressed state, threatening to harm himself

:02:36.:02:42.

The area was cordoned off and a trained police negoti`tor

:02:43.:02:47.

was used to try to talk the man down.

:02:48.:02:51.

He was arrested on suspicion of burglary and causing

:02:52.:02:54.

As pressure mounts on the Government to take more child

:02:55.:02:58.

migrants from Calais, councils in the South East say

:02:59.:03:00.

they won't be able to cope with the cost of finding them a home

:03:01.:03:03.

Kent has already taken 1,400 unaccompanied children

:03:04.:03:05.

and the County Council's le`der says resources are at breaking point

:03:06.:03:08.

However, some politicians s`y the situation in Calais is ` crisis

:03:09.:03:10.

and we must do more this side of the Channel.

:03:11.:03:27.

Although I have sympathy with the issue around

:03:28.:03:29.

press the Government around the funding, it seems to me

:03:30.:03:33.

that there has to be more albition, more

:03:34.:03:35.

courage, really, from counchls across this country to make sure

:03:36.:03:37.

that we are stepping up to the plate to help people who are absolutely

:03:38.:03:41.

Football now, and it was mixed fortunes for our teams that

:03:42.:03:45.

were in action this weekend as Jane Witherspoon now reports

:03:46.:03:50.

The goal that gave Glenn Murray his hat-trick.

:03:51.:03:52.

It helped Brighton extend their unbeaten championship

:03:53.:03:54.

run to nine games as they thrashed Norwich 5-0 at the Amex Stadium

:03:55.:03:57.

It means the Seagulls remain second in

:03:58.:03:59.

the league, still three points behind Newcastle.

:04:00.:04:02.

Chesterfield's Dan Gardner was unfortunate to see a 27th minute

:04:03.:04:04.

It was a late headed winner from Charlton's

:04:05.:04:13.

sub Lee Novak after a Holmes cross that gave the only

:04:14.:04:16.

goal of the game for the League 1 clash.

:04:17.:04:18.

Gillingham's long run withott a win continued as they

:04:19.:04:20.

lost 2-1 in their away match through Fleetwood Town.

:04:21.:04:23.

David Ball put the home teal ahead midway through the

:04:24.:04:26.

first half but Jake Hessenthaler levelled early in the second.

:04:27.:04:28.

The final goal of the match from substitute Ashley Huntdr,

:04:29.:04:31.

An impressive first-half display from Carlisle

:04:32.:04:37.

earned them a 3-1 win over Crawley town.

:04:38.:04:40.

A late fightback in the second half wasn't enough, though.

:04:41.:04:47.

Let's take a look what the weather has in store for us now

:04:48.:04:52.

It was a misty, foggy the start of the day and

:04:53.:05:00.

that mist and fog was reallx quite slow to clear for some areas.

:05:01.:05:03.

It did brighten up, particularly towards

:05:04.:05:05.

the south, and we even got some sunshine, too.

:05:06.:05:07.

More sunshine on offer as we

:05:08.:05:08.

A rather misty, mild start to the day again

:05:12.:05:13.

Most of the rest of the week is going to stay dry.

:05:14.:05:16.

It will turn colder from Tudsday and Wednesday onwards.

:05:17.:05:18.

Overnight tonight, staying dry with just a

light wind and temperatures in some of the more rural sports cotld get

Locally, a chilly start to the day tomorrow.

:05:24.:05:26.

There will be more mist and fog patches forming as well.

:05:27.:05:29.

Not quite as dense as it was this morning, but still some disruption

We will see some sunshine around as well.

:05:42.:05:43.

It will feel milder tomorrow with top temperatures up to

:05:44.:05:46.

Now, if you're trick or treating tomorrow, you whll

:05:47.:05:51.

be treated to a dry and mild evening, and then it will ttrn much

:05:52.:05:54.

Good evening. It has been a mild and a bit of a murky day. A lot of mist
