00:02 - Hello and welcome to Kentonite live on KMTV.
00:29 I'm Sophia Akin and here are your top stories
00:32 on Monday the 18th of March.
00:35 Upper limit of safe,
00:37 Medway Hospital exposing patients to radiation
00:40 due to out of date machine.
00:42 - And I'll be outside Medway Maritime Hospital
00:45 with all the details.
00:47 - On the rise, Kent teens urged to get MMR jabs
00:50 following a national increase in measles cases.
00:54 - We saw how quickly the COVID pandemic spread
00:57 and MMR is just as contagious, if not more,
01:01 especially among young people.
01:03 - Down but not out,
01:05 Gillingham narrowly miss out on points grab with home draw.
01:09 - We're disappointed,
01:10 but we'll take the point of removal.
01:13 We've got seven games to go.
01:14 (upbeat music)
01:17 - First tonight, an out of date radiology machine
01:27 at Medway Hospital has been exposing patients
01:30 to the upper limits of safe radiation.
01:33 The hospital are investing nearly 2 million pounds
01:35 into a newer replacement model due to its defects,
01:39 causing diagnoses to take longer
01:41 and therefore exposing patients to more radiation.
01:44 The Medway NHS Foundation Trust says
01:46 the machine will be safe to use within stringent guidelines
01:50 and that patient safety is the priority.
01:52 Oliver Leder de Sacks joins us live
01:54 from outside the hospital.
01:56 Now, Oliver, what's led to this current situation?
01:59 - So the machine is quite old, as you heard, out of date,
02:05 and it's been facing loads of faults and breakdowns.
02:07 And due to its age,
02:08 it's quite difficult to get replacement parts.
02:11 They're having to use a second hand part at the moment,
02:13 which leads to all sorts of defects.
02:14 For a sense of how old it is,
02:16 it still works on Windows XP
02:19 and it has an end of life certificate already issued
02:22 all the way back in 2020.
02:23 So quite an old machine.
02:25 And these defects mean that patients
02:27 are having to be under the machine longer to get diagnosis
02:31 'cause the imaging software isn't quite where it should be.
02:34 This means they're getting exposed to more radiation
02:36 and that means that they're going to be monitored.
02:38 It is still within the upper limit of safe radiation,
02:42 but it is a risk that they don't say
02:45 can go on for much longer.
02:47 - What are the hospital doing to address this problem?
02:54 - So the hospital have committed to the 2 million pounds
02:56 that are required to get a new machine.
02:59 They say they will come in later this year in the summer.
03:02 And they say that patient safety is the priority here.
03:06 And this new machine could actually improve patient safety
03:10 at this hospital.
03:11 It could improve the diagnosis
03:12 of things like prostate cancer.
03:14 These machines are really good for diagnosing cancer
03:19 in a way that doesn't actually invade
03:23 on the patient's safety.
03:24 There's no need for open surgery,
03:26 no need to go to the emergency room
03:28 for when you get diagnosed using these machines.
03:31 So hopefully it will improve things at the hospital,
03:33 but for the time being,
03:35 they're gonna have to use this old machine
03:37 within a tight timeline until the summer
03:42 when this new machine will likely be put into effect.
03:45 - Oliver, thank you for joining us.
03:48 We'll keep updated with that story.
03:50 Now, a suspect has been charged with murder
03:53 following the death of a man near Faversham.
03:55 On Saturday, 33-year-old William Cosier
03:58 from Well Lane in Canterbury was charged with murder
04:01 and possession of a knife in a public place.
04:04 Three other men have been bailed pending further investigation
04:06 and two others have been released without charge.
04:09 Following the incident on Wednesday evening,
04:11 police had multiple areas in the centre of the village
04:14 cornered off following reports of a stabbing.
04:17 A man in his 30s was pronounced dead near the scene.
04:20 Police are still appealing for anyone with information
04:22 to get in touch.
04:23 Now, measles months rubella vaccination rates in Kent
04:29 are below the 95% the World Health Organisation advise
04:33 is needed to prevent measles outbreaks.
04:35 Despite the county's rates being above the national average,
04:38 children and teenagers are being encouraged
04:40 to get their jabs at the Heathside Centre in Maidstone.
04:44 The clinic comes as Kent County Council Health Chief
04:47 look to boost immunity figures of MMR in Kent,
04:50 as James Hill reports.
04:52 Measles, mumps and rubella vaccines
04:56 are being rolled out across Kent at catch-up clinics
04:59 as children and teenagers can now turn up on weekends
05:02 to get their vaccines.
05:04 The catch-up clinics come as Kent County Council
05:06 looks to boost the number of children
05:08 and teens with MMR vaccinations.
05:11 The NHS Immunisation Service is working to cover
05:14 all children aged up to 19 in Kent and Medway,
05:17 ensuring that they are protected for life
05:19 against these diseases.
05:21 - So we're here at Heathside Clinic today.
05:23 We have a clinic offering all vaccines.
05:26 However, we are focusing on the MMR at the moment.
05:29 So all children are being offered a catch-up vaccine,
05:34 usually about one year,
05:36 and then just before they start school.
05:39 We need to make everybody aware how important it is.
05:42 We saw how quickly the COVID pandemic spread,
05:46 and MMR is just as contagious, if not more,
05:49 especially among young people.
05:51 - The weekend catch-up clinics have been popping up
05:54 as the number of children in Kent and Medway
05:56 getting their MMR vaccines have dropped significantly,
05:59 falling well below the target needed to eradicate measles.
06:02 The percentage of children aged five in Kent
06:04 with their first vaccinations sits at 92.1%,
06:08 and at 89.7% for Medway,
06:11 while only 84.6% and 79.7% have had their second dose.
06:16 This puts the percentage of MMR vaccine uptakes
06:20 at some of the lowest levels in a decade.
06:22 Health security officials explained back in 2020
06:26 that COVID-19 would cause a significant drop
06:28 in the number of parents getting their children immunized
06:31 with MMR vaccines.
06:33 But with the shackles of lockdown long gone,
06:36 immunization nurse Fran Pemann now says
06:38 that clinics see students
06:40 that would rather get the vaccinations
06:41 in the comfort of their loved ones
06:43 as opposed to the usual school environment.
06:46 - We go into school to do, obviously, the vaccinations,
06:50 and sometimes those children are poorly,
06:53 so they're not at school, obviously,
06:56 or they're on a school trip,
06:58 or even they might be nervous and a bit anxious
07:00 about having a vaccine done and in a school.
07:03 - Clinics like this one at the Heaveside Centre in Maidstone,
07:06 one of 26 separate locations around Kent,
07:09 are giving out MMR vaccinations
07:11 until Saturday the 18th of May.
07:13 - It's really important, these clinics.
07:15 We obviously offer from half-past eight
07:18 to sort of half-past three,
07:19 so anything that can fit in with people's times.
07:22 We also do clinics in the summer holidays
07:24 and Easter holidays.
07:25 - The push to get children vaccinated
07:28 will reduce the amount of measles, mumps,
07:30 rubella outbreaks across Kent.
07:33 James Hill, KMCV.
07:35 - Next tonight, parts of Maidstone Town Centre
07:38 were shut off after an unknown substance
07:40 was reportedly thrown at four police officers.
07:43 Ambulance crews, firefighters,
07:45 and hazardous response paramedics were called to the scene,
07:48 and a man's been arrested in connection with the incident.
07:51 Abbey Hook joins me in the studio now with more.
07:54 Abbey, what more can you tell us about this?
07:55 - Well, just to say, before I give too much detail,
07:58 we do have some footage of the response.
08:00 It was quite large, as you can see on the screen here,
08:01 so there are some flashing images,
08:03 the sheer amount of emergency crew there.
08:06 And it's all because, as you said there, Sophia,
08:08 an unknown substance being reportedly thrown
08:10 at four police officers.
08:12 Knight Rider Street was closed in both directions
08:15 in Maidstone Town Centre.
08:16 Now, this was last night on Sunday.
08:19 You can see some of that police response there,
08:21 as I mentioned.
08:22 A man has since been arrested.
08:24 Residents were stopped from entering Lily Smith House,
08:26 the block of flats where the incident was.
08:28 Hazardous response paramedics,
08:30 as well as the fire, police,
08:31 and ambulance crews arrived on the scene.
08:33 And it's understood blue tarpaulin was put up outside
08:37 so that officers could be decontaminated.
08:40 You can see it there.
08:41 Police say they were called shortly after 5.15pm
08:44 to report a man was damaging property at a home
08:47 in Knight Rider Street, the one that was closed off.
08:51 - And what have the emergency services said about this?
08:54 - Well, I contacted the police today,
08:56 and they've advised me that they'll be updating us tomorrow,
08:58 so nothing as of today.
09:00 A spokesperson has previously said,
09:02 on arrival at the address,
09:03 four police officers had an unknown substance
09:06 thrown at them, as we know,
09:07 and were treated at the scene.
09:08 A man was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage
09:11 and assaulting emergency workers,
09:13 and has been taken into custody.
09:15 Witnesses also said that paramedics were seen
09:17 with specialist respiratory sort of gear on.
09:21 They reported seeing a man being led away in handcuffs too.
09:25 And just a line from the ambulance service,
09:27 they confirmed that crews attended the scene,
09:29 checked and treated officers,
09:31 and that one was actually taken to a local hospital
09:33 for further checks.
09:35 Kent Fire and Rescue Service said that they were called
09:38 at 5.53 p.m. to assist Kent Police in Knight Rider Street.
09:42 Two fire engines attended,
09:44 as well as a hazardous materials unit.
09:47 And as of this morning, one police car remained on the scene,
09:50 but of course, more from Kent Police tomorrow.
09:53 - Abby, thank you for bringing us those details.
09:56 Now, getting more police on the streets,
09:58 supporting Gravesend businesses
09:59 and restoring Eurostar services to Kent.
10:02 All priorities of Kent County Council's
10:04 Leader of the Opposition, Dr. Lauren Sullivan.
10:07 In an exclusive sit-down interview,
10:09 Dr. Sullivan, who is also Gravesham's
10:11 Labour parliamentary candidate, discussed all this and more.
10:15 Here's a clip from the interview
10:16 with more of this to come throughout the week.
10:19 - How do you think things will play out in Kent
10:21 whenever this election happens?
10:23 - It all depends on when it's gonna be.
10:25 It depends, there's so many variables at the moment.
10:27 I'm talking to so many people on the doorstep,
10:30 and a lot of people are just genuinely undecided.
10:33 I mean, we hope for the best.
10:36 - It's a non-committal answer, isn't it?
10:38 - No, so-
10:39 - Will you take the 97 seats, do you think?
10:41 - I mean, I hope so.
10:42 I mean, the route to government runs through Kent,
10:46 and I think that's really important.
10:49 You need at least four seats in Kent.
10:51 We need to have that representation
10:53 so that we get the best deal for Kent and the South East,
10:57 'cause I think we are key players
11:00 in the national stage in Kent.
11:01 We have so many national challenges,
11:05 so we need to make sure that there is representation
11:08 from Kent in government or in parliament.
11:11 - There's a very broad statement
11:13 on your website at the moment.
11:14 I'm sure it will be edited in future
11:16 as you start to specify things.
11:18 But in your aspirations for Gravesham,
11:21 government should invest in our schools,
11:23 our highways, our childcare, children's centres,
11:24 libraries, leisure facilities, parks, open spaces.
11:27 It's quite the shopping list, isn't it?
11:29 - Yeah.
11:30 - Do you think it's realistic to kind of be thinking
11:32 government should invest in all of these things?
11:34 Can we expect investment across our public sector like that?
11:38 - I would argue that that's the role of the local MP
11:42 is to call for this very investment.
11:45 - Well, that's going to be airing next Monday evening
11:47 at 6.30pm straight after Invicta Sport.
11:50 I'll see you after this short break for more Kent news.

15:06 - Hello and welcome back to Kentonite live on KMTV.
15:18 Now more than 50 vehicles were stopped by Kent Police
15:20 at the weekend amid a countywide crackdown
15:23 on anti-social driving.
15:25 It follows recent reports of speeding, excessive noise
15:28 and the endangering of other road users.
15:31 Dispersal orders were also put in place across
15:33 Tunbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Medway.
15:36 During the operation, five vehicles were seized
15:38 for either having no tax or insurance
15:40 and five drivers were arrested on suspicion of driving
15:43 under the influence one has since been charged.
15:46 And the owner of a water sports park near Sandwich
15:49 says there won't be any nightly raids
15:51 after he's been given permission
15:52 to hold more evening events.
15:54 Wayne Cooper's White Mills Wake and Aqua Park
15:56 won't be allowed to play music later than 11 p.m.
15:59 and will only hold three events a year.
16:02 You can see here exactly what one of those events looks like.
16:06 Residents have been complaining about the noise
16:07 in previous years with one saying it turned into a rave.
16:11 Mr. Cooper says the site will full abide
16:13 by the rules this year with the first event,
16:15 a European water sport competition planned
16:17 for the end of June.
16:18 Time now for your pick of the papers,
16:21 taking a look at what's making the headlines
16:23 in Kent's newspapers, online and radio.
16:26 Earlier I was joined by Kristen Hawthorne
16:28 to talk about potholes in Dover making residents angry
16:31 and a woman reunited with her baby scan photos 12 years on.
16:35 Well, my first story is that residents
16:38 in West Hoogham near Dover are frustrated
16:40 as they call for road repairs after multiple cars
16:43 get damaged in the floods and potholes.
16:45 A delivery driver has gotten stuck in the floods
16:48 and a Mercedes owner even had his vehicle written off.
16:53 As well, you know, there's estimated
16:56 to be about 90 potholes in the village
16:58 and the Pothole Action Group in the area
17:01 has seen more than 25 instances of damage to the vehicles.
17:05 Kent County Council spokesman states
17:08 that the teams will be out in eight acres
17:10 to carry out pothole blitz works
17:12 and to maintain the roads and fix them
17:14 for hopefully a long time, longer time than previously.
17:17 Well, we've all been a victim to a pothole,
17:19 so good to hear the council's doing something about that.
17:21 Your next story, something to do with a dog?
17:23 Yes, this is the dog that has been introduced
17:26 to St. Catherine's Primary and Nursery School.
17:29 This dog was introduced after they had
17:31 their recent Ofsted investigation in 2017,
17:35 which recommended that the school needed improvement.
17:37 Since this dog has been brought in,
17:39 the school has been raised from needing improvement to good.
17:43 This is the second highest grading possible
17:44 and some inspectors even noticed
17:46 some outstanding aspects of the school,
17:48 including behaviour, development and leadership.
17:51 The school offers a swimming pool, an art studio
17:54 and a sensory room where the students can go
17:56 if they're feeling a bit down or anxious in any way.
18:00 The dog can also give them a visit.
18:02 The report said that pupils are joyful
18:04 and proud of their aspirational and welcoming school.
18:06 They feel safe, special and valued.
18:08 Oh, I would have loved a dog when I was at school, would you?
18:11 Yeah.
18:11 Would have been amazing.
18:12 Right, tell us about your final story tonight.
18:15 So my final story is quite an interesting one.
18:17 This is a woman who got her handbag stolen
18:20 from her home, her kitchen 12 years ago.
18:23 On Monday the 11th of March,
18:26 Sheila Gibson, who was a litter picker in the area,
18:30 found Jean's bag and inside the bag,
18:34 she found house keys, lanyard,
18:38 full purse and driving licence
18:40 and was able to use the name on the cards
18:42 to contact the woman on social media.
18:44 The car keys were the only things missing from her bag
18:49 and after the initial incident in 2012,
18:52 police said the thief likely wanted to steal her car
18:55 and after she made the accommodations to stop that,
18:57 he never returned.
18:58 So, and in the bag,
19:00 there was baby photos of her son as well.
19:03 So she was very glad to get those back.
19:05 I'm sure she was glad to have all those back.
19:06 Kristen, thank you.
19:07 What a range of stories you brought us there.
19:09 Thank you very much.
19:10 Thank you so much.
19:11 Now, don't forget, you can keep up to date
19:13 with all your latest stories across Kent
19:15 by logging on to our website, kmtv.co.uk.
19:18 There you'll find all our latest reports,
19:20 including this one about International Women's Day
19:23 being celebrated in Kent earlier this month.
19:26 Celebrating women across Kent.
19:29 Today, more than a hundred gathered
19:31 from all across the county to commend important women
19:35 and those making a difference.
19:37 Kent's Lord Lieutenant joined to raise awareness
19:40 on violence against women and girls.
19:43 We have a long way to go
19:44 and there've been some pretty appalling reports today
19:48 about sexism and misogyny in big organisations.
19:53 And of course, the prevalence of domestic abuse.
19:56 It's hidden behind closed doors
19:58 and most people don't realise what's going on.
20:00 We need to do what we can to stop it
20:05 and to support women where we can.
20:07 This International Women's Day event
20:09 has gathered women from all across Kent
20:11 here to have some really important discussions
20:13 about what else needs changing in today's society.
20:17 We empower women and we encourage them
20:20 to join different activities that we run at Diversity House
20:25 just to empower them in terms of feeling belonging
20:29 in any sector of society, whether education, community.
20:34 While the gender pay gap has decreased over time,
20:39 figures from the ONS show it still stands at 14.3%
20:44 as of November last year.
20:46 It's a little bit higher than it was last year.
20:48 If we go back some years ago, it was 7.7%,
20:51 so it goes up and down
20:53 and it's not really closing, in my view.
20:55 It definitely needs to reduce
20:57 and we've seen some organisations,
20:59 I know recently, Medway Council,
21:01 they reported their lowest gender pay gaps this year.
21:04 So some organisations are doing really well,
21:06 but we have to be intentional about these things.
21:08 They're not just gonna close on its own.
21:10 And for some, it's about taking bigger strides
21:13 in raising awareness of some of the challenges facing women.
21:17 Every 10 minutes, one woman is diagnosed
21:20 with breast cancer across the UK.
21:23 So every two years after my darling friend passed,
21:26 I decided I was gonna do a Treks across the world
21:29 and raise vital funds, awareness.
21:32 So I'm actually off trekking the jungles of Sumatra.
21:35 On the 6th of September, lots of people look at me
21:38 and they go, "Oh, do you do trekking?"
21:40 I'm like, "Yeah, as long as I've got false eyelashes,
21:42 I'm all right." (laughs)
21:44 Today, we look back at some of the milestones
21:47 women from across Kent have achieved,
21:49 but also look ahead to the steps left to take
21:53 in ensuring equality is achieved for all.
21:56 Sophia Akin for KMTV on International Women's Day.
22:00 Now in sport, Gillingham's hopes of returning
22:04 to the League Two playoff places
22:05 were put on hold at the weekend
22:07 as the Medway team drew one all with Grimsby Town.
22:10 Just over 6,000 fans watched on at Priestfield
22:13 as Stephen Clements' side narrowly missed out on a win.
22:16 It comes just a few days after nine of his players
22:18 reported being taken ill.
22:20 Well, ahead of a brand new episode
22:21 of KMTV's sports show Invicta Sport,
22:24 our reporter Bartholomew Hall joins us now.
22:26 (upbeat music)
22:30 Bartholomew, Gillingham really could have done
22:38 with a win over the weekend.
22:39 - Yeah, you're absolutely right.
22:41 It's now four games without a win for Gillingham.
22:44 And whilst it's not as many losses as four,
22:47 it'll be especially gutting for some fans
22:49 who were expecting them to win,
22:51 especially against a team that's as low down
22:54 in the League Two table as Grimsby,
22:56 compared to some of their opposition as of late
22:58 who have been much further up in the table.
23:00 And it was a really close one.
23:02 A few close misses in the second half
23:05 could have turned the whole game around.
23:08 - George Lapsley managed to equalise in the first.
23:10 We'll hear from him in just a few moments' time,
23:13 but let's first hear from the Gillingham manager
23:15 who was less than pleased with the result.
23:18 - Obviously, I'm very disappointed
23:20 that we haven't won the game.
23:22 I expected us to win the game
23:23 like I expect us to win every game.
23:25 And that's what we set out to do.
23:27 But we haven't taken our chances
23:31 and that's not just having to go to the strikers.
23:33 They're falling to lots of different players
23:35 and we haven't put them away.
23:36 So I'm disappointed,
23:38 but we'll take the point and move on.
23:40 We've got seven games to go.
23:41 - Now, Stephen Clements also spoke after the match
23:47 about the sickness.
23:49 You'll remember last Thursday,
23:50 I was here telling you that six of Gillingham's players
23:53 had fallen ill during the week.
23:55 Well, that number has actually increased to nine
23:57 by the time of kickoff.
23:58 He also mentioned that a couple of his players
24:00 hadn't actually eaten anything before the game.
24:03 So he had a lot of positives to say about his team.
24:05 He said he was really proud of them in the dressing room
24:08 for getting through and not losing the game overall.
24:11 And he also mentioned that they'd made a few extra chances
24:14 that he hadn't seen in previous games.
24:16 And that's something as well that George Lapsi,
24:18 who of course scored the equaliser, noted as well.
24:20 Let's hear from him.
24:21 - Didn't actually train Thursday
24:23 'cause so many of the team had it.
24:25 So yeah, just one training session
24:26 between Wimbledon and this game to get ready for that.
24:29 But sometimes that's better
24:30 'cause it is literally just go out there and fight
24:32 and that's all we did today.
24:34 It's probably one of the first times in a dual shirt
24:36 we've gone one nil down.
24:37 But I thought the way we started the game,
24:39 I still believed we'll get a chance here.
24:41 I think I had a chance before they scored.
24:42 So you've got to just keep believing
24:44 that the next one's gonna come.
24:45 And yeah, luckily it did for us though.
24:48 - Of course, plenty more sporting news
24:51 coming throughout the evening with Invictus Sport.
24:52 Tell us what's to come.
24:53 - Yeah, absolutely.
24:54 It'll be Abbey on the sofa this evening.
24:56 We'll have plenty more football.
24:58 Dartford versus Maidstone, a roundup of that game,
25:00 that local Kent derby, which was quite a fiery one.
25:03 People know about that.
25:04 It's been going around on social media.
25:05 And we'll also be talking about Kent Martial Arts Club
25:08 that's about to take part in a national tournament
25:11 in London.
25:12 And we'll also be looking back at that film
25:15 that was made about the first British woman
25:17 to swim across the channel.
25:19 - Sounds very exciting.
25:20 Well, before we go to Invictus Sport,
25:22 we're just gonna take a look at the weather.
25:24 (upbeat music)
25:33 - It's going to be a dry but cloudy evening.
25:35 Lows of nine in Tambridge Wells,
25:37 10 degrees up in Chatham with some light winds.
25:40 Staying cloudy but dry tomorrow morning,
25:42 getting slightly warmer as well.
25:44 13 degrees in North Kent,
25:46 getting a little bit drizzly down in Tambridge Wells
