00:02 - Good evening and welcome to Kent Tonight, live on KMTV.
00:26 I'm Abbey Hook, here are your top stories
00:28 on Monday the 20th of May.
00:30 Kent reacts to cover up, Whitstable Man speaks out
00:33 as findings of infected blood inquiry revealed.
00:37 - Part of me just wanted to hide away.
00:39 And generally I'm quite an open sort of person,
00:43 but I suddenly found this dirty secret
00:46 that I had to live with.
00:47 - Going red in Medway, from today,
00:49 drivers will be fined for stopping on five roads.
00:53 - The idea behind it is purely
00:54 to improve people's journey times
00:56 and reduce congestion on our major artery roads.
00:59 - Medway's next Russ Cook, young footballer,
01:02 takes on 50K ultra marathon for charity.
01:05 - I saw a guy called Russ Cook, the hottest guy,
01:08 basically running the length of Africa.
01:10 And I just thought to myself,
01:11 if he's doing 50 kilometers a day,
01:13 surely I can do 50 kilometers just once.
01:25 - First tonight, a man from Whitstable,
01:27 infected with contaminated blood decades ago,
01:30 says that a long awaited inquiry into the scandal
01:33 won't be the end of their fight.
01:35 In the 1970s and 80s, tens of thousands of people
01:38 across the UK were infected with HIV and hepatitis C
01:41 after they were given contaminated blood,
01:44 with families and victims fighting for justice
01:47 throughout the years since.
01:48 Now an inquiry established in 2017
01:50 has released its findings today,
01:52 saying there's been repeated failings and coverups
01:55 from successive governments and the NHS.
01:58 Oliver Leader to SAC's reports.
02:00 - Roger Newman was just 16
02:02 when he was diagnosed with HIV alongside his brother.
02:06 A haemophiliac, Roger was just one of nearly 30,000 infected
02:10 with blood contaminated with diseases
02:13 such as hepatitis C in the 1970s and 80s
02:17 as part of NHS treatment.
02:19 - You know, part of me just wanted to hide away.
02:23 And generally I'm quite an open sort of person,
02:26 but I suddenly found this dirty secret
02:28 that I had to live with
02:29 and always sort of try and hide from other people.
02:34 And I was, yeah, my world felt completely shattered,
02:39 not just because I, even at that age,
02:42 I kind of thought I'd never be able to have children,
02:46 I'll never be able to do all those things that I wanted to do
02:49 and the absolute dread and terror
02:53 of becoming ill with AIDS was, you know,
02:58 just hard to put into words.
02:59 - The scandal was one of the worst in the history of the NHS.
03:02 Of many infected like Roger,
03:04 they said for decades that health bodies in the government
03:07 attempted to cover up the facts.
03:09 It was only in 2017 then Prime Minister Theresa May
03:12 opened a UK-wide inquiry following intense pressure
03:16 from campaigners who have fought for justice for decades.
03:19 Now after seven years,
03:21 the inquiry's findings have been revealed
03:24 and they say there has been a cover-up
03:25 by successive governments and the NHS.
03:29 - Doctors, blood services and successive governments
03:32 did not put patient safety first.
03:35 They lost sight of what was known
03:38 about the risks of viral infections from blood.
03:41 Doctor Knows Best was such a strong belief
03:46 that health departments did not issue guidance
03:49 to curb the unsafe use of blood and blood products.
03:52 - The report highlights the deliberate destruction
03:54 of documents to save face and to save expense,
03:58 as well as the lack of any meaningful apology
04:01 and a failure to warn patients
04:03 of the associated risk with their treatments.
04:06 The government is expected to announce
04:07 a compensation package of more than £12 billion.
04:11 But when I spoke to Roger ahead of the report,
04:15 he was not confident in the government.
04:17 - I don't have any trust or faith in the government, really.
04:22 I think that, I think this isn't gonna be
04:25 the end of the campaign.
04:26 I think that we will still be fighting,
04:29 I would imagine, for some years to come
04:31 in terms of those, you know, parts of our community
04:36 that have not had fair justice.
04:39 - For Roger and many others,
04:41 the inquiry is not the closing chapter for this scandal,
04:45 but the beginning of the next one.
04:47 Oliver leads the sacks for KMTV.
04:50 - Well, Oliver joins me in the studio now.
04:53 Oliver, a tragic story for many thousands, in fact,
04:56 right across the UK, not just here in Kent.
04:58 Just try and explain to us the significance of this.
05:01 - I think the fact that it's a 2,000-page report
05:04 that was released earlier today
05:06 kind of encapsulates how much this meant
05:09 to people across the country.
05:11 I mean, around 700 people were involved
05:14 in the consultation process,
05:15 providing evidence to the inquiry,
05:18 dating back all the way to the 1970s.
05:21 That's when people with haemophilia
05:23 and other blood-threatened diseases
05:25 were given infected blood.
05:27 A new clotting agent called Factor VIII and Factor IX,
05:32 they were donated human blood plasma
05:34 to fulfill those deficiencies,
05:36 and the batches were contaminated by US companies
05:40 by pooling too much blood from poor sources
05:43 such as prisons, and it led to thousands of people dying,
05:48 around 3,000 people with HIV, for example,
05:51 as well as people getting infected with HIV as children,
05:55 such as Roger in Whitstable,
05:58 and it has impacted across Kent as well,
05:59 Sevenoaks, Ashford, and of course,
06:03 Maidstone, where Roger grew up.
06:06 And just before the programme,
06:08 the Prime Minister actually appeared in the Commons
06:10 to apologise, in a three-point apology,
06:12 for the failings of the government and of the NHS.
06:16 - This is a day of shame for the British state.
06:20 Today's report shows a decades-long moral failure
06:24 at the heart of our national life,
06:27 from the National Health Service to the Civil Service,
06:30 to ministers and successive governments,
06:33 at every level, the people and institutions
06:36 in which we place our trust.
06:38 - Well, I actually spoke to a Kent MP today
06:42 about this, and Rosie Duffield, Roger Newman's MP
06:46 in Whitstable, she's a Canterbury MP,
06:48 and she wants to see compensation given to the victims
06:52 by the end of this parliamentary session.
06:54 She says that the £12 billion that we've heard rumoured
06:59 from the Sunday Times should be given as soon as possible
07:03 to the victims of this scandal.
07:05 - I mean, what you've got to remember is the stigma
07:08 that was attached, constituents like Roger,
07:11 who were teased and bullied and found life pretty difficult,
07:16 because there was so much not known,
07:19 and people didn't understand what was going on,
07:22 and just getting recognised and acknowledged
07:26 is the key thing.
07:28 But because it has had such a huge financial,
07:31 devastating impact, those people and their families
07:35 all also deserve financial compensation.
07:38 And I think it needs to be before the summer recess
07:41 of Parliament, if we can possibly do that.
07:43 - That was Oliver joining us with all those details,
07:46 and of course, MP Rosie Duffield there.
07:48 Now, from today, drivers stopping on five roads
07:51 in Medway could receive a £70 fine.
07:54 Double yellow lines in several of Medway's roads
07:56 will now turn red, with cameras monitoring those
07:59 not sticking to the rules.
08:00 The so-called red routes aim to ease congestion
08:03 and stop illegal stopping.
08:05 Well, our reporter, Sophia Aitken, joins me now
08:06 with more details.
08:07 Sophia, what can people expect from today?
08:10 - Well, anyone who's been driving round Medway
08:11 for the past few weeks may have already noticed
08:13 that some of the once double yellow lines
08:16 have been replaced with double red lines.
08:19 Now, people may be wondering what the main difference is
08:22 with this.
08:23 Well, the main difference is you can't stop
08:25 under any circumstances, whereas with double yellows,
08:28 you could stop to load or unload.
08:30 Now, drivers will be fined for stopping along these routes
08:34 in five parts of Medway.
08:36 So, parts of Corporation Street, Star Hill in Rochester,
08:40 the Brook and Best Street, which are both in Chatham,
08:44 and the A2 Rainham High Street.
08:46 Now, in a minute, you'll also see some of the restrictions
08:49 that come with this scheme.
08:50 It also comes with cameras.
08:52 There'll be ANPR cameras tracking those who aren't
08:55 sticking to the rules.
08:56 Anyone caught breaking the rules could be fined £70.
09:00 Although, for the first six months
09:01 that this is being rolled out,
09:03 those who are caught stopping illegally
09:06 will just receive a warning to begin with.
09:09 This has raised concerns from businesses,
09:11 particularly in Rainham, whose delivery drivers
09:13 often stop along that A2 Rainham High Street.
09:16 As you know, Albie, you were there last year
09:18 talking to some of these businesses.
09:20 But there are specific loading and delivery bays
09:24 where drivers can stop, as well as disabled bays.
09:27 So, that might provide some comfort to the businesses.
09:29 Well, we can see these red routes
09:31 you're seeing at the moment,
09:32 those are actually from Brighton.
09:33 So, if you're familiar with Brighton,
09:36 you'll know it's going to look exactly the same as this
09:38 and following similar rules.
09:39 We actually spoke to Tristan Osborne,
09:41 the cabinet member from Medway Council,
09:43 who's been leading this,
09:44 and asked, was this the only option?
09:47 Now, are there other things we could look at?
09:48 Absolutely.
09:49 I think an integrated public transport network
09:51 is also really important.
09:52 And there will be some proposals coming forward
09:55 from the council on that over future months
09:57 around how we can better improve that.
09:59 We're looking at cycle lanes as well in Medway.
10:01 We've already made that announcement
10:02 to try and encourage people out of their car,
10:04 onto bicycles and other forms of transport.
10:07 And of course, we've introduced school streets
10:09 to try and reduce the amount of people
10:11 who are taking cars to school in the mornings.
10:13 So, obviously, we've heard from Tristan Osborne there,
10:16 who's been leading this scheme,
10:17 as you said, Sophia, at the council.
10:20 But what's the actual purpose of the scheme?
10:22 What are they really trying to get at the heart at?
10:25 Well, the main reasons they're doing this
10:27 is to stop people from illegally stopping along the road.
10:31 As you know, with double yellows, as I said before,
10:33 you can stop to load or unload,
10:34 but some people, they say,
10:35 are sort of taking advantage of these rules.
10:37 But it's also to stop congestion
10:39 where people are perhaps illegally parking.
10:41 It's leading to a backlog of other cars
10:43 not being able to pass in a safe way.
10:46 But Red Roots was actually first suggested late 2022,
10:50 and it went through quite a few rounds
10:52 of public consultations.
10:53 So now four of the five roads,
10:55 which will be part of this Red Roots scheme,
10:58 had public consent.
11:00 The fifth one is still going ahead
11:03 as it was agreed in the council.
11:05 But as well, if you are a blue badge holder,
11:08 you can still pick up somebody if you have a blue badge.
11:12 And as well, people may be comforted to know,
11:14 especially in Raynham, if you are in Raynham,
11:15 there's plenty of parking that people can use.
11:19 And there are also designated drop zones
11:20 for those businesses who are concerned.
11:22 Well, Sophia, thank you for those details
11:23 affecting everybody driving around Medway.
11:26 We know how busy it can get around this area in particular.
11:29 It'll be interesting to see how that develops
11:30 over the next few weeks.
11:31 Sophia, thank you very much.
11:32 Thank you.
11:33 Now it's time for a very short break.
11:35 Coming up, we have lots more news
11:37 coming from right across the county,
11:39 but in particular, Bartholomew Hall will be here
11:41 with the sports and a young man
11:43 who's been inspired to run 50K.
11:47 See you in a minute.

15:02 - Good evening and welcome back to Kent Tonight
15:12 live on KMTV.
15:13 Now to sports and on the biggest night of boxing,
15:16 a Chatham teen has been very successful.
15:19 And a runner is looking to take on
15:20 his biggest challenge yet,
15:22 all inspired by the very famous hardest geezer
15:25 that we all know now, Russ Cook.
15:27 Ahead of a brand new episode of Invictus Sport,
15:29 here's Bartholomew Hall.
15:30 (upbeat music)
15:34 - Well we start at Taunton where Kent have suffered
15:42 a second defeat in this year's county championship
15:44 with eight wickets to Somerset.
15:47 59 run partnership from Grant Stewart and Jaden Denley
15:50 helped set Somerset's final target to 189,
15:54 but it just wasn't high enough
15:55 in today's final innings before lunch.
15:58 It comes after England international Zach Crawley
16:00 scored his highest ever score for the county on Sunday
16:02 at 238.
16:04 Next up for Kent is back home to host Essex at Canterbury
16:07 before their first T20 blast fixture
16:09 at the end of the month.
16:11 Chatham boxer Moses Italma has claimed
16:15 his first professional title
16:17 by defeating Germany's Ilya Menchev.
16:20 The new intercontinental heavyweight champion
16:23 was fighting on the undercard of the undisputed clash
16:26 between Tyson Fury
16:27 and Alexander Usyk in Rydia on Saturday night.
16:31 Besting his opponent in the second round
16:33 by technical knockout,
16:34 Italma now extends his unbeaten record to nine wins.
16:37 David Haye is the latest former world champion
16:40 to compliment the medway team,
16:41 describing him at the weekend as a future world champion.
16:45 Tunbridge Wells' Freya Black has won her first major medal
16:49 on the road to the 2024 Olympics.
16:52 The sailor who turns 23 later this month
16:55 battled through tough conditions
16:56 alongside partner Saskia Tidy
16:58 as they aim for their perfect time before Paris 2024.
17:02 Last run out at the World Championship in Lanzarote,
17:05 the pair finished 14th
17:06 and Black, who paused her studies at Exeter University
17:09 in preparation for Marseille,
17:11 will be looking forward to improving on
17:13 later at the Olympics.
17:14 And finally, inspired by the hardest geezer Russ Cooke's
17:20 run across the length of Africa,
17:22 medway junior footballer Zach Wells
17:24 is preparing to take on a 50k ultra marathon challenge
17:28 across all five of medway's towns.
17:30 Raising money for the British Heart Foundation,
17:32 Zach says it could be the toughest challenge yet,
17:35 which he's aiming to complete in just six hours.
17:38 We caught up with him earlier to see how preparations were going.
17:41 Training has probably been three runs a week
17:44 for four or five months now,
17:46 as well as fitting in training on a Wednesday for football
17:49 and playing on a Saturday.
17:50 So it's been pretty non-stop.
17:51 The days that are meant to be rest days
17:53 are actually football and the football rest days are running.
17:57 So it's been non-stop, but it's going well.
18:00 I'm looking forward to it.
18:03 Depending on the weather,
18:05 it may be a little bit slower than my target of around six hours,
18:10 but also adding in the adrenaline and being buzzing to do it,
18:14 it might be a little bit quicker than that.
18:17 Bartholomew, what's coming up in Invictus Sport then tonight?
18:20 Well, you'll hear more from Zach there.
18:22 Of course, we had a full interview with him.
18:23 You'll be in the seat this evening.
18:25 It was quite an interesting chat with him,
18:27 obviously inspired by Russ Cook there.
18:30 It was interesting.
18:30 It's nice to see.
18:31 Yeah, in his run across the whole length of Africa,
18:34 he was doing 50k in a day.
18:37 Zach will be taking that on in the space of just under six hours,
18:41 he says it will be his aim.
18:42 So it's quite a difference though of a place to run across.
18:45 I'd rather be in Africa than Medway,
18:47 but I suppose Medway probably be easier.
18:49 Yeah, definitely.
18:50 It'll be interesting to see how he gets along.
18:51 What else?
18:52 Of course, we've got some football today.
18:53 We've got an interview with the Canterbury City manager,
18:55 Dan Lawrence, talking about the season
18:58 and what it looks like going into the summer.
18:59 Bartholomew, thank you very much.
19:02 Now, people in Kent are being warned about the resurgence
19:05 of Asian hornets after almost 60 were spotted last year,
19:08 most sightings being in our county of Kent.
19:11 The invasive species was spotted 108 times on record
19:14 in the country since 2016.
19:16 The National Bee Unit said it destroyed 72 nests
19:20 in 56 locations last year, most of which were in Kent,
19:24 as you can see there.
19:25 Though Asian hornets pose no greater threat to humans
19:27 than the UK's native species,
19:29 they really endanger honeybees, insect pollinators,
19:33 and the beekeeping industry has suffered too.
19:35 The government's urged anyone who may have spotted
19:37 an Asian hornet to report it on its website
19:40 or through the Asian Hornet Watch app.
19:43 And if that's not enough bee news,
19:45 a retired engineer in Maidstone has found himself
19:47 with a swarm of them,
19:49 and he's actually set on keeping them.
19:52 The bees swooped into Mr. Freighter's house
19:54 last Friday afternoon on the bin here,
19:56 made themselves at home.
19:58 He's since called for help from the mid-Kent beekeepers
20:01 to contain the swarm and actually look for a new hive
20:04 to resettle them.
20:05 Mr. Freighter's added that he's looking forward
20:07 to his accidental new hobby.
20:09 And what a day to celebrate, then, on World Bee Day.
20:12 It's, in fact, World Bee Day today,
20:14 so there's your bee news.
20:16 Now, don't forget you can keep up to date
20:17 with all your latest stories on our website,
20:19 kmtv.co.uk.
20:21 There you'll find all our reports,
20:22 including this one about a Medway business
20:25 that may have to move if regeneration plans
20:27 go ahead for Chatham Docks.
20:29 It's future unclear with aging infrastructure.
20:35 The landowner of Chatham Docks says it's time for change
20:38 and has proposals for redevelopment.
20:41 Planning permissions submitted to the local council
20:43 could see these still works being turned
20:46 into a business park.
20:47 And a short trip down a river is this tugging company.
20:51 They say the end of Chatham Docks
20:53 would impact their operations.
20:56 This is the last bastion, really, where we can be.
20:59 And we've got businesses in Holland.
21:02 It might well be that we just decide
21:04 we can't do it here anymore,
21:05 and that would be a great shame.
21:08 Without businesses like this,
21:10 the super sewer in London would not have been built.
21:14 It's as simple as that.
21:15 Or it most certainly wouldn't have been built
21:16 without huge disruption of places like Chatham Dock
21:19 and businesses just like this one.
21:22 Bear in mind, for every tonne of CO2e
21:24 that we put up in the air, every tonne kilometre,
21:28 road puts out nine, rail puts out 1.9.
21:32 Currently, planning is only for a small section of the docks,
21:35 but a master plan by Peel Waters would see land here
21:38 being turned into hundreds of homes, offices
21:41 and outdoor spaces.
21:43 It adds huge amounts of benefits to Medway.
21:47 We think it will triple the amount of jobs
21:49 that's on the current site.
21:51 It'll create a much better environment
21:53 because the moment you face the dock wall,
21:55 we've got a beautiful water basin there,
21:57 about 20 acres, opens up the river,
22:00 connects St Mary's Island to the site.
22:03 So you can actually, if you're living on St Mary's Island,
22:05 at the moment, you're faced with heavy manufacturing,
22:08 literally on your doorstep.
22:10 These proposals have been nothing but controversial.
22:14 Last week, nearly 100 protesters came out
22:17 against the regeneration plans.
22:19 But all progress has been stalled
22:21 as Medway Council deferred their planning decision last week,
22:25 following legal challenges.
22:27 Look, I wanted to try and find a solution
22:29 where we protect every job we can,
22:32 but I've got a priority, which is delivering the local plan.
22:36 This application we're talking about today
22:37 doesn't necessarily change any of that in one sense,
22:41 but I want to make sure that we get this application
22:44 as with every application that comes through to Medway Council
22:47 determined in the appropriate manner.
22:50 Of course, there are some challenges with that.
22:51 We're going through the legal process,
22:53 which we're now having to do,
22:55 and it will come back to committee in due course
22:57 when we've gone through those legal challenges.
22:59 It's unclear when that vote will now take place.

23:06 And here's a story from Sophia Akin
23:08 about a campaign against bus cuts.
23:11 Folkestone residents say for the past eight months,
23:14 catching a bus has been difficult to say the least.
23:17 Stagecoach axed or reduced 11 of its East Kent bus services
23:21 in September, including five in Folkestone.
23:24 And one of the founders is disabled,
23:27 so getting the bus is his main mode of transport.
23:30 Well, I had a surgery appointment Wednesday morning,
23:34 and I had to pay £5.80 to get a taxi to the surgery.
23:38 And as a pensioner, I have no way of getting any extra income.
23:42 I can't generate extra funding.
23:44 That one day axed these things,
23:46 they say that they've got the passengers with a heart,
23:50 but then they really don't.
23:51 Him and co-founder Keith want bus services
23:54 to be back in public ownership, like it is in Manchester.
23:58 We need to subsidise it in some way
24:00 to allow people just to have a social life,
24:03 not just a social life, to live.
24:05 But we know this is a long campaign.
24:06 It's not going to go change tomorrow.
24:08 We're going to keep on campaigning,
24:10 and we won't stop campaigning
24:11 until we get a publicly run bus service.
24:13 For some I've spoken to in Folkestone today,
24:15 they don't have a car, or some are disabled
24:18 and they can't drive, or for some,
24:19 they'd simply rather get the bus
24:21 because it's a little bit cheaper
24:22 and better for the environment.
24:23 So for those people, they're concerned to hear
24:26 there's a reduced service because they rely on the buses
24:29 to get from A to B.
24:30 Well, not everybody wants to drive in any way,
24:32 we're supposed to be lowering emissions, aren't we?
24:35 They're providing services to the cricket match.
24:38 We can't get to the hospital without having three buses now
24:41 in Kent and Canterbury Hospital.
24:43 That's ridiculous.
24:43 I use my car, but I'm getting to the age now
24:47 when I really can't afford to run a car.
24:50 Sometimes you can wait for nearly a half an hour
24:53 before the bus turns up,
24:55 and then when it does turn up,
24:56 there's two or three together.
24:58 A KCC Labour councillor says the government
25:01 has cut council's funding,
25:03 making it harder for KCC to subsidise bus services.
25:06 The government have been cutting back
25:09 all of the funding that actually comes down to Kent County.
25:13 We have to pay for this bus service
25:16 and the government has stopped us.
25:18 The Department for Transport said KCC is receiving
25:21 nearly £40 million to improve local bus services.
25:25 This is in addition to £1 million every year since 2014.
25:29 Stagecoach said there are fewer people travelling on buses
25:32 and less often than before the pandemic.
25:35 With this and higher operational costs,
25:37 it said difficult decisions had to be taken,
25:40 but it will continue to work with KCC.
25:42 Locals in the seaside town have certainly got wheels in motion
25:46 for their campaign,
25:47 but now they want to see the wheels on their buses
25:50 back in motion,
25:51 as they hope to see more of their bus services restored
25:54 and in the hands of the public.

26:00 Well, now for the weather.
26:06 Tonight is looking quite calm,
26:08 only sparse clouds to the east of the county,
26:10 11 degrees throughout.
26:13 Tomorrow morning going to be cloudy,
26:15 a bit warmer overall between 14 and 15,
26:17 no sunshine in sight,
26:19 but the afternoon's going to be slightly warmer,
26:21 a bit of sun, but that rain coming down
26:23 right across the county,
26:24 highs of 18.
26:26 And here's the rest of the week,
26:27 the outlook, light rain on Wednesday and Thursday,
26:30 sunny by Friday.
26:32 That's all we've got time for.
26:40 See you soon. Bye-bye.
