00:02 - Good evening and welcome to Kentonite Live on KMTV.
00:27 I'm Abbey Hook, here are your top stories on Thursday,
00:30 the 21st of September.
00:32 It could have been started deliberately.
00:36 Fundraising efforts pour in
00:37 after fire destroys football team's equipment.
00:41 - And I'll be here live with the latest
00:43 as this suspected arson attack costs a community thousands.
00:48 - Not so rosy anymore.
00:50 Is the Garden of England under threat
00:52 from becoming unsustainable?
00:55 - So the supermarkets are sticking to their model
00:58 of paying suppliers less whilst charging the consumer more.
01:02 - Raising vital funds,
01:03 Kent MP celebrates with Tunbridge Group
01:06 as they prepare to walk 100 kilometres in Normandy.
01:10 - It's fantastic to have this support from our community
01:13 for a fantastic charity
01:15 and to remember some amazing people
01:16 that did something that saved us all only 80 years ago.
01:19 (upbeat music)
01:24 (fire crackling)
01:27 - First tonight, a fire which tore through
01:31 the equipment hut of a football club in Tenterden
01:34 is believed to have been started deliberately
01:36 according to Kent Fire and Rescue Service.
01:39 Rolvenden Tigers Football Club
01:41 says they're having to start again from scratch
01:43 after losing everything.
01:45 But now the local community has rallied around the club
01:48 raising more than 5,000 pounds
01:50 to help the club get back kicking.
01:52 Well, joining me on the line now live from Tenterden
01:55 is our reporter Bartholomew Hall.
01:56 The damage behind you, Bartholomew, it's pretty bad.
02:00 - Absolutely, Abby, you can see just how bad the damage
02:05 has been caused here by that fire.
02:07 I'm told thousands of pounds of equipment
02:10 belonging to the Rolvenden Tigers
02:13 has been destroyed practically overnight.
02:16 Just to give you a bit of context,
02:17 I'm standing in a playing field
02:19 in the Rolvenden countryside at the moment,
02:22 and it's here where 80 children meet weekly
02:25 to play football and to train.
02:28 Now, we heard from Kent Fire and Rescue Service
02:30 earlier in the week.
02:32 They told us that on Wednesday morning,
02:34 they attended with one fire engine to put out this fire,
02:38 and that they believe the fire was caused intentionally.
02:41 So we are talking about a potential arson attack
02:45 on this football club.
02:46 And to put things into perspective,
02:48 just two days before the fire was put out
02:50 on Wednesday morning, children as young as five
02:52 were playing in this very field.
02:55 Now, that's what we know from Kent Fire and Rescue Service
02:58 at this time.
02:59 From Kent Police, they told us
03:00 that they have opened an investigation
03:02 and that they're looking at a time period
03:04 between 8 p.m. when the club and the organizers here
03:07 left the field on Monday and 7 a.m.
03:11 when the fire was eventually put out on Wednesday morning.
03:14 Now, to talk a bit more about this,
03:16 I'm joined by Ezio, the club chairman here.
03:18 Thank you very much for joining us.
03:20 The reason why I'm bringing you in now
03:22 to talk about that time period
03:23 is because you've sort of moved on as a club now
03:25 from asking for donations, which have been very successful,
03:28 but to ask for sort of more information
03:30 from those in the community that might have CCTV footage.
03:33 Can you tell me about that?
03:34 - Yes, sir.
03:35 We've had the outreach from the local community
03:38 and local football clubs in surrounding areas
03:40 been fantastic, which we really appreciate.
03:43 But as you say, we're looking now
03:45 for a bit of support by the local community
03:47 in terms of if anyone had seen anything,
03:50 regardless of how small it may have been,
03:52 any camera doorbell footage, any sort of CCTV,
03:57 anything like that, or passes by,
04:00 anything that people have got
04:03 that they may be able to sort of forward on
04:04 to allow the police to sort of continue their investigation
04:07 and find who's caused all the damage, really.
04:10 - But talking about the community,
04:13 they have been fantastic to you so far.
04:15 The last time I looked today,
04:16 your GoFundMe page had about 5,000 pounds raised.
04:19 How much will that go towards replacing the equipment?
04:22 Will you be able to replace it all?
04:24 - Yeah, it will go, it will help massively.
04:28 I mean, the costs just associated
04:29 with the toilet that's been damaged
04:32 and the stuff inside, it will definitely help.
04:35 It's gonna go a long way to replacing
04:40 sort of the cabin itself and sort of the inside of it,
04:43 but it will help.
04:45 - Of course, just finally then, really quickly,
04:47 what's gonna happen next Monday?
04:49 Will you be back, just in a couple of words?
04:51 - Yes, hopefully.
04:52 We have games that we're gonna try
04:53 and get on for the weekend,
04:54 and hopefully be back here Monday to train again.
04:56 - All right, thank you very much for joining us.
04:57 So, and of course, as this investigation continues,
04:59 we will keep you up to date here.
05:02 - Bartholomew, thank you very much
05:03 for bringing us the latest there.
05:05 Next this evening, the food industry
05:07 is one of the biggest sectors in Kent,
05:09 employing 18,000 people and making around 10%
05:13 of all business in the county.
05:15 But it's in a time of crisis.
05:16 Inflationary pressures, Brexit, war in Ukraine,
05:19 and shoppers opting for cheaper products rather than local.
05:23 There is hope, though, according to the Eastern Ark Consortium
05:26 who met in Canterbury yesterday.
05:28 But serious challenges lie ahead, they say.
05:30 Well, our reporter Gabriel Morris
05:32 was at the event yesterday.
05:33 - Kent is known as the Garden of England.
05:37 According to the county council,
05:39 16,000 people are employed in the sector.
05:43 But the industry says they're under threat.
05:45 James Smith runs a fruit farm near Maidstone.
05:49 He was at the Eastern Ark Conference
05:50 calling for shorter supply chains
05:52 between farms and supermarkets.
05:55 - So the supermarkets are sticking to their model
05:57 of paying suppliers less whilst charging the consumer more.
06:01 What I'm advocating is actually
06:03 becoming truly vertically integrated
06:05 so we have our own retail.
06:07 That way we control all of the costs
06:10 and we can enjoy the benefits of that
06:12 by keeping all of those at that margin in our business.
06:15 - Consumer price index unexpectedly eased this week,
06:20 particularly fuelled by a slowing down of the rate
06:23 that some food and drinks cost.
06:25 The industry, though, are reporting many issues,
06:28 particularly in the last few years,
06:29 with Brexit, the pandemic, and war in Ukraine.
06:34 - Fuel has a huge impact because they need it
06:36 in order to do everything from kind of powering or heating,
06:40 if it's a food or if it's a livestock,
06:42 all the way through to processing any of the food,
06:44 through to even their supply chain to get it to them.
06:46 A lot of people are bringing in their fertilizer,
06:48 are coming in from overseas.
06:49 That has an impact on the cost of everything.
06:51 Fuel underpins all of that,
06:52 and then when we're needing to heat things
06:54 or keep something stable, it's even more of an impact.
06:56 - The consortium brings together three universities.
07:00 - And the idea behind it is to do three things.
07:02 One is to encourage collaborations,
07:04 particularly around research.
07:06 The one is to develop a positive research culture,
07:08 so share training, do mentoring, and so forth.
07:11 And the third is about advocacy,
07:13 so making sure that the voice of our region
07:15 and our universities is heard on a national scale.
07:19 - Well, the food is going down a treat
07:21 at this conference today, and this is what it's looking at,
07:23 food in a time of crisis,
07:25 looking at what goes into our everyday foods,
07:28 connecting the industry with academia,
07:30 and seeing how farmers across the Southeast
07:32 can be more sustainable going forward.
07:35 The consensus here is it's a race against time
07:38 to make the industry more sustainable,
07:41 and getting people to shop more local,
07:43 but not everyone can afford that.
07:46 - And I think a big thing is,
07:47 if you give the local supermarkets their own autonomy
07:50 to sort out what's happening in their own local community,
07:54 that would go a big way,
07:54 rather than somebody sitting at head office
07:56 telling them how they need to operate with their customers.
07:59 It's a different way of thinking, I think.
08:02 - The Southeast faces huge challenges going forward,
08:06 but for a rosy future,
08:08 farmers will hope that these come into fruition.
08:11 Gabriel Morris for KMTV in Canterbury.
08:14 - Next tonight, a surprise to homeowners in Kent.
08:18 The Bank of England has kept interest rates at 5.25%.
08:22 It had been expected to raise the base rate to 5.5%
08:26 following 14 consecutive increases since 2021.
08:31 Inflation has fallen in recent months,
08:33 and the bank think it will continue to do so,
08:35 despite rising fuel prices.
08:37 So what does today's decision mean for homeowners,
08:40 and could it lead to interest rates coming back down?
08:43 I spoke to Medway estate agent Tom Dix,
08:45 and started by asking how good news this actually is.
08:49 - A lot of bad news recently,
08:51 so yeah, some good news is always welcoming.
08:54 I think it all comes down to people's confidence out there,
08:57 and sort of what news stories they are reading.
08:59 So yeah, to have some good news is positive,
09:03 and I think it will install a lot more confidence
09:05 in home movers and also homeowners with mortgages as well.
09:09 - And what does it mean for those mortgage rates,
09:12 and for those homeowners as well?
09:14 Could this potentially be a temporary stability?
09:18 Could we see it go back up again?
09:20 I mean, we've seen it go up 14 times in a row since 2021.
09:23 So is it just temporary?
09:27 - Well, yeah, there's always a risk of it going up again,
09:31 but for mortgage rates,
09:33 we have seen mortgage rates begin to steadily reduce
09:37 over the last three to four weeks.
09:39 So it seems as if some of the lenders saw this coming,
09:43 and they predicted that,
09:44 as they have started to bring some of their rates down,
09:47 not across all of their products,
09:49 but on more specific products.
09:52 So yeah, I think they will continue to do so,
09:55 and hopefully they'll continue to do so
09:57 throughout the rest of the year.
09:59 - And there were some arguments to raise it
10:01 to that 5.5% that was predicted.
10:03 So why do you think it's been kept at this level?
10:06 Does it sort of reflect that we're completely in the clear?
10:10 - I think obviously it's all relative to inflation.
10:13 That's obviously what they base it on.
10:15 Obviously, inflation has come down,
10:18 and that's what they base that decision on.
10:21 And obviously, the mortgage lenders,
10:22 they will base their mortgage rates
10:25 in a three, four, five months' time
10:28 based on what they borrow their money for at the moment.
10:32 - And this all reflects on the housing market.
10:35 Particularly, what's the housing market looking like
10:37 for us here in Kent and Medway?
10:39 - At the moment in Kent and Medway,
10:43 Medway specifically in the areas that I operate in,
10:47 we seem to be in a little bubble
10:49 in comparison to the rest of the UK.
10:51 So obviously, there's been a lot of negative news stories
10:54 about house prices coming down.
10:56 I think the buyers see the Medway towns
10:58 and the Kent area as a desirable place to live.
11:01 We've got a lot of amenities, a lot of good transport links.
11:06 And yeah, we can be in London within sort of an hour,
11:10 down by the coast in an hour.
11:12 And there's lots of links over into Europe,
11:14 and the schools are very good locally.
11:16 So I've personally seen a very good level of interest
11:21 in terms of buyers activity in the market.
11:24 So yeah, there hasn't really been much of a downturn
11:27 from what I've seen.
11:29 Sellers need to be a little bit more realistic
11:31 in terms of pricing their properties,
11:33 but a good property at good price is getting snapped up
11:36 still with multiple viewings
11:38 and also multiple offers as well.
11:40 - It's now time for a very short break,
11:42 but coming up, we find out what makes someone a finfluencer.
11:46 It's all to do with a crackdown
11:48 on those using social media platforms
11:50 to promote investment.
11:51 See you in a few minutes.

15:04 - Hello and welcome back to Kentonite live on KMTV.
15:15 Police are investigating the death of a man
15:17 who was found at a golf club near West King's Down.
15:21 Officers were called to the London Golf Club
15:23 at around 3 p.m. on Monday, the 4th of September.
15:26 They've confirmed it's a body of a 35-year-old
15:29 and it was found within a lake on the site.
15:31 A post-mortem has now taken place
15:33 and police are not treating the death as suspicious.
15:38 Next tonight, the MP for Tunbridge and Morling
15:40 has been speaking about how the importance
15:42 of teaching about World War II.
15:44 The ex-servicemen joined three others
15:46 at the Tunbridge pub this afternoon
15:48 as the five of them prepare to head to Normandy
15:51 at the start of next month.
15:52 They'll be trekking 100 kilometers across the beaches
15:56 where the Allied forces landed during the Second World War.
15:59 It's hoping to raise thousands of pounds for charity.
16:02 Well, Sophia Akin went along to meet them earlier today.
16:05 In around two weeks time,
16:06 six men from Tunbridge will be on their way to Normandy
16:10 to take part in a huge feat,
16:12 three of which kicked off celebrations today
16:15 at a nearby pub.
16:16 They'll be doing an 100-kilometer walk over five days,
16:20 walking across Normandy's beach
16:22 where the Allied forces would have landed in 1944.
16:26 And this is all to raise money for veterans.
16:29 Including those who would have fought in the Second World War,
16:32 some of whom were related to those in the Tunbridge group.
16:35 Well, we're off to Normandy to commemorate
16:39 the great generation that went to Normandy in 1944
16:44 and defeated Hitler.
16:46 And at the same time,
16:48 we're also raising money for the Army Benevolent Fund
16:52 or the soldiers' charity.
16:53 The Army Benevolent Fund looks after my daughter
16:56 when my son-in-law was killed in Afghanistan.
16:58 So I kind of feel it's payback time.
17:01 And what about you?
17:02 Yes, I grew up next to Sandhurst,
17:04 always involved with the Army.
17:06 And it's a great charity,
17:09 so I want to put some work back for the guys
17:11 that have given part of their lives or whatever to the cause.
17:16 Joining for today's celebration was local MP
17:19 and ex-serviceman Tom Tugendhat.
17:22 Well, it's certainly true that we've got to teach people about it,
17:26 but we've also got to see it for ourselves.
17:27 And I think that's one of the things that this takes us to,
17:30 because these guys are going to look at the battlefields,
17:32 look at the sites, look at Pegasus Bridge,
17:34 look at those moments where young men,
17:36 and they were by and large young men,
17:38 had to take extraordinary decisions
17:40 at very, very short notice that risked their lives
17:43 and sometimes sadly cost their lives.
17:44 So remembering why young men took those decisions
17:47 is incredibly important for shaping the way we think
17:50 about our present and our future.
17:52 The launch of the Grand Hike was kicked off
17:54 at the Kentish Rifleman,
17:56 which also has links to the armed forces.
17:59 Originally the pub was called the Red Lion.
18:01 In the mid-1800s we then changed the name.
18:04 The name was changed to the Kentish Rifleman,
18:06 which we believe was basically through
18:08 being a militia recruiting post,
18:10 so something just to give a bit more of a link
18:13 to recruiting local people into the local militia.
18:16 Before the group heads off to Normandy,
18:17 they're going to try and make one last push
18:19 to raise a bit more money for charity.
18:21 So far they've raised £10,000,
18:23 but they're hoping to raise at least £15,000.
18:27 And all this money raised goes towards a charity
18:29 which provides lifetime support for veterans
18:31 and their families as well.
18:33 Starting tomorrow they've got a fundraiser here
18:35 at this pub where they're hoping to get a little bit closer
18:37 to that goal of £15,000.
18:40 Sophia Akin for KMTV in Tunbridge.
18:43 Next tonight, some politicians across Kent
18:46 are worried for businesses,
18:48 with the Prime Minister overhauling some green policies.
18:51 The government will now delay a ban on new diesel
18:54 and petrol vehicles to 2035.
18:57 It was previously 2030.
18:59 But this has been met with criticism
19:00 by climate change campaigners.
19:02 Rishi Sunak says this will give people time
19:04 to make consumer-driven choices,
19:07 rather than being politically forced
19:08 to switch to an electric car.
19:11 Well, earlier today we spoke with Labour councillor Alastair Brady.
19:16 They're crying out that they need stability
19:17 throughout England.
19:20 Internationally, do we really want business
19:23 to come and invest in our country?
19:24 Yes, we do.
19:25 If we keep on changing the goalposts,
19:27 how are they going to have a clear plan?
19:30 I'm sure a lot of car companies had emergency meetings
19:33 straight after that to look at their vision
19:35 and their priorities,
19:37 and it's just completely unclear.
19:38 So it's unworkable and it shouldn't be happening
19:41 in a civilised society.
19:43 Now, Kent, academic from the London Academy of Trading,
19:46 says there's a crackdown on those using social media platforms
19:49 to promote investment.
19:51 They're known as finfluencers
19:53 and there's been a reported rise in them.
19:56 But there are concerns they have no knowledge in finance.
20:00 The cost of living crisis is driving individuals
20:02 to seek other ways to make income.
20:05 Well, what needs to be done?
20:06 Well, joining me on the line now is Paddy Osborne.
20:08 He's from the London Academy of Trading,
20:10 as I mentioned earlier.
20:11 Paddy, thank you so much for joining me this evening.
20:14 Tell us, for those who don't know,
20:17 it's a new word that's come in.
20:18 We've heard of influencers, but what's a finfluencer?
20:22 Okay. So a finfluencer is basically a financial influencer.
20:25 And the definition is a person who,
20:28 by virtue of their popular online status,
20:31 can influence financial decision-making process
20:33 of other people through promotions
20:35 or recommendations on social media.
20:37 So basically what they're doing is they're using
20:39 their celebrity status to entice followers
20:42 to invest in stocks or crypto or whatever,
20:46 and they're going to get an undisclosed compensation.
20:49 They aren't required to have any qualifications or expertise.
20:53 They are not regulated by a regulator.
20:56 And so although there are obviously some of these
20:58 finfluencers who have experience and have knowledge
21:00 about finance, there are many who don't.
21:03 Why have we seen such a rise in them?
21:07 Well, it's interesting.
21:08 I think the demand has pushed it as well
21:11 and there's money to be made.
21:13 So these people will make a lot of money from this.
21:15 If they promote a particular investment,
21:18 there are regulated companies who will use finfluencers
21:21 to promote their own product
21:23 and then they will be paid a commission
21:24 on every time anyone signs up.
21:26 So there's a lot of money to be made from that side
21:28 and there's also a lot of demand.
21:31 We did some research and 21% of adults in the UK
21:35 are influenced in their financial decisions by social media.
21:39 And the real stunning stat really is that for 16-
21:42 to 34-year-olds, it is 49%.
21:45 So basically one in two under 35s will use social media
21:50 to make their financial decisions.
21:52 This for me was quite a stunning number.
21:54 We've even seen this week quite topical,
21:56 the online safety bill being passed.
21:58 So is there anything like that?
21:59 Is there anything being done to tackle,
22:02 I suppose, these finfluencers?
22:04 And what I suppose, could you call it a scam?
22:09 I'm sure some people, some of the finfluencers
22:13 would be urging on sort of the scam end of things
22:16 and some are the very kosher end of things.
22:19 So there's a big range of quality in there.
22:22 But the thing is that none of them need to be regulated.
22:25 So what needs to happen, I think, is the regulators
22:27 need to take a firm grip on this.
22:30 They need to be firm and strong and act on it.
22:32 Now, they have a difficult job because a lot of these
22:35 finfluencers are abroad, hidden, online somewhere,
22:39 hard to access.
22:40 So that makes the job difficult in the first place.
22:43 But at the moment, we've got the FCA adding some guidelines.
22:47 There we go.
22:47 There's a few guidelines.
22:48 It's not going to make any difference to these people
22:50 or any difference to the people who are the audience.
22:54 They're trying to work with the ASA
22:56 to try to let people know, be aware of these potential scams.
23:01 Be aware of the dangers of these finfluencers
23:04 because they don't have qualifications and expertise
23:06 that will generally give you a good result.
23:09 So they're trying to make people aware of it.
23:12 But I think regulators need to do more.
23:15 There are certain regulators who've done –
23:17 they've been fining people.
23:19 I think Kim Kardashian was fined over a million dollars
23:22 for touting unlawfully a crypto security.
23:26 It's certainly a really fascinating conversation.
23:29 I'm afraid we've run out of time, Paddy.
23:30 But thank you so much for explaining that to us
23:33 and diving into it a bit more.
23:34 Thank you for your time.
23:36 Now let's take a very quick look at the weather.
23:38 [Music]
23:44 Looking fairly wet and rainy this evening.
23:47 Lows of 11, highs of 13.
23:50 Tomorrow morning a bit brighter than it has been today.
23:53 A few clouds towards one side of Kent,
23:56 but looking fairly bright.
23:57 Friday afternoon a little bit of rain by Maidstone,
24:00 but a mix of sun and cloud for the afternoon elsewhere.
24:03 And the next few days look like this.
24:05 Saturday and Monday, lovely bright sunshine,
24:07 fairly warm. Sunday a bit drizzly.
24:10 [Music]
24:18 Now, straight after Kent Tonight
24:19 is another episode of Kent Film Club,
24:21 where guests reflect on the films
24:23 which have meant the most to them over the years.
24:26 Joining me in the studio to discuss tonight's episode
24:28 and all things film, as we do every Thursday,
24:30 here's Chris Deasy joining me now.
24:32 It's my favourite part of a Thursday, Chris.
24:34 What have you been up to?
24:35 What have you been watching this week?
24:37 I've watched so many films from different genres.
24:39 There's a lot of horror out at the moment.
24:41 Halloween's coming up, maybe it's that.
24:43 There's a new Exorcist film, of course,
24:45 with the original actress, Ellen Burson, in it.
24:47 That's coming out in just a few weeks' time.
24:49 But yeah, anything from gangster films
24:50 to a very odd film actually set in Chile,
24:53 which sort of has this whole relationship
24:55 between the Chilean former president, Augusto Pinochet,
24:59 and Margaret Thatcher.
24:59 It's one of the most surreal movie premises
25:01 that you've ever seen, which suggests that, you know,
25:04 all these funny things go on in the world involving vampires
25:06 and tries to make political statements out of that.
25:08 I think it's what film does really well sometimes,
25:10 taking you somewhere you're not expecting to go.
25:14 You know, a lot of films that are violent,
25:15 with Halloween coming up,
25:16 why do we watch these sort of films?
25:18 Quite like these conversations we have.
25:19 I never know it's going to end up,
25:20 and it always ends up somewhere interesting.
25:22 And what I want to ask you this week,
25:23 we talk about what you've been watching,
25:24 what you like, what are the best hits.
25:26 What's probably the worst film you've watched,
25:28 or a film that you've watched and been disappointed
25:30 or surprised that actually it's not what you thought it would be?
25:33 Oh, that is a really good question,
25:34 because I don't normally walk out of films.
25:36 I suppose sometimes there may be sort of more sort of war films
25:38 or something where I'm watching it thinking,
25:40 gosh, this is taking me all sorts of places.
25:42 Who's on which side?
25:43 Do I know the historical background?
25:44 That happens sometimes.
25:46 I've seen some very lame rom-coms sometimes.
25:47 What do you think? I've seen this all before.
25:49 But sometimes it is unexpected.
25:51 Jojo Rabbit is a film that I saw in two different cinemas,
25:54 one with a very young audience with sort of lots of teenagers,
25:57 and then in a more art house environment,
25:59 and I had a completely different take from the film.
26:01 So I came away thinking,
26:02 why did this film get all these Oscar nominations?
26:04 Saw it a second time and thought it was a really moving film.
26:06 So the environment matters.
26:07 And that's something that you do a lot.
26:09 You analyse what people think watching the film.
26:11 We haven't got long left at all.
26:13 What's coming up tonight? Little snippet.
26:15 So we've got Paul March-Russell, who's a sci-fi editor.
26:18 Interestingly, none of his films are sci-fi based.
26:21 I wish I'd asked him about that.
26:23 But he's choosing some amazing films, including Barbie,
26:25 which of course came up last week as well,
26:27 including, I'll give you a clip, a clue,
26:30 two very, very big Hollywood classics,
26:32 Casablanca and The Apartment.
26:34 So it's an absolute must-see.
26:35 Oh, wow. A lot to be looking into.
26:37 Thank you very much for joining me, Chris.
26:38 Thanks, Abi.
26:39 And if you want to hear more from Chris,
26:41 stick around just a few minutes' time,
26:42 an episode of Kent Film Club.
26:43 But that's all from me and the Kent Tonight team.
26:45 Bye-bye.
