00:02 - Hello and welcome to Cancer Night live on KMTV.
00:25 I'm Sophia Akin and here are your top stories
00:27 on Friday the 27th of October.
00:30 Fighting for justice, 75 years on,
00:33 Kent children of the Windrush generation
00:35 speak out on the discrimination they faced.
00:38 - People still don't quite accept
00:43 that black people have been here for generations.
00:48 - A brutal attack, man pleads guilty to manslaughter
00:52 in Canterbury car park murder trial.
00:55 Development disaster, Whitstable residents
00:58 challenge controversial new building.
01:01 - In my years of professional work, 35 years,
01:05 I actually haven't seen anything like that before.
01:07 - And who you gonna call?
01:09 Kent paranormal investigator reveals his spooky findings.
01:13 (upbeat music)
01:16 (upbeat music)
01:18 - First tonight, Kent descendants
01:28 of the Windrush generation are speaking out
01:30 on their experiences of racism
01:32 that they faced in the past 75 years.
01:35 They came to the UK from the Caribbean
01:37 with a promise to find work and rebuild Britain
01:40 after the second world war.
01:42 But some were met with a hostile reception.
01:44 And during Black History Month,
01:45 communities are marking the contribution
01:47 those who came to the UK have made
01:49 to Kent's cultural, social and economic life.
01:52 After the second world war,
01:55 hundreds embarked on the Empire Windrush
01:58 to England from the Caribbean
02:00 to help rebuild a post-war Britain.
02:02 And 75 years on,
02:04 children of the Windrush generation living in Kent
02:07 are looking back at their troubled experiences
02:10 of living here.
02:11 Claudette moved here at 13 with her brother
02:14 and described it as a culture shock.
02:17 - I was the only black child in my class at the time.
02:21 So it was quite difficult.
02:23 They've never seen black children.
02:26 So they didn't know anything about the Caribbean.
02:28 They just assumed that I didn't speak English,
02:31 but English was the only thing I spoke.
02:33 The other children, they weren't very welcoming,
02:36 let's say that.
02:37 You were teased all the time.
02:40 No one wanted to play with you during the break time.
02:45 Lunchtime in the dining room was quite difficult
02:49 because I didn't really like the food.
02:52 The food was quite alien to me.
02:55 - Nadia came to the UK with her mother
02:57 when she was just a toddler.
02:59 Even at a young age,
03:00 she remembered sleeping in a bunker on the ship here.
03:03 - You know, people still don't quite accept
03:08 that black people have been here for generations.
03:13 I know that I've experienced racism, yeah,
03:19 in applying for jobs, in trying to get promotion.
03:24 I know I might not be able to prove or describe it, yeah,
03:30 but I know, I know what I've experienced.
03:34 I've had to work maybe three times as hard
03:38 to be in a position in my career.
03:43 - Nadia and Claudette met
03:45 through the North Kent Caribbean Network in Gravesend.
03:48 It encourages communities to meet up
03:50 and is also a place to find support.
03:53 - It's mainly about providing the information
03:55 and actually highlighting just how crucial
03:57 that generation was to the development
04:00 of the Britain that we know today.
04:01 But what a lot of people haven't managed
04:03 to really realise in the past
04:05 was that link towards the establishment of the NHS,
04:09 the transport services and links within the UK,
04:12 and the fact that it was that generation
04:13 that came here specifically to work in those industries
04:17 that helped to rebuild the country
04:19 after the Second World War.
04:20 So it's been really important that we showcase that
04:23 and we highlight those contributions.
04:25 - In a response to the treatment that many faced
04:27 when coming across on the Empire Windrush,
04:30 a Home Office spokesperson said,
04:32 "The whole of government remain absolutely committed
04:34 "to righting the wrongs of the Windrush scandal.
04:37 "Extensive support is in place
04:39 "to help people access the Windrush compensation scheme.
04:42 "Already, we have paid or offered
04:44 "more than 79 million pounds in compensation
04:47 "to those affected, and we continue to make improvements
04:50 "so people receive the maximum award
04:53 "as quickly as possible."
04:55 75 years on, descendants of the Windrush generation
04:58 say society has come a long way,
05:01 but they say more needs to be done in achieving equality.
05:04 - The change ought to be that people
05:08 have a better understanding that the people who are coming
05:13 aren't all, right, illegal immigrants,
05:17 because that's the attitude.
05:18 That seems to be the attitude.
05:20 - Well, it's nice that we have a month
05:23 that we can celebrate Black History Month in October,
05:27 and also we should take away from that
05:30 and continue to build on that,
05:32 because one day we might not have a Black History Month,
05:37 and it won't be needed, it won't be necessary,
05:41 and I look forward, I hope it's in my lifetime,
05:44 that one day we will not need to have a Black History Month,
05:48 that Black History will be part of everyday history
05:52 and not just a month in October.
05:59 - Next tonight, a man has pleaded guilty
06:01 to the manslaughter of Guy Malbec,
06:03 who was allegedly murdered in a Canterbury car park
06:05 on Easter Sunday earlier this year.
06:07 Sabantu Sabanda appeared at Canterbury Crown Court today
06:11 as the trial into the brutal and sustained attack continues.
06:14 The 51-year-old was sleeping rough
06:16 in the Castle Street car park
06:18 and was found dead on Easter Monday.
06:20 Gabriel Morris joins me on the sofa now
06:22 with some further details.
06:23 Gabriel, what more can you tell us about this case?
06:25 - Well, the former trainee financial advisor
06:27 pleaded guilty to manslaughter,
06:30 to the manslaughter of Guy Malbec today
06:32 at Canterbury Crown Court.
06:34 Sabantu Sabanda of Albert Street, Whitstable,
06:38 appeared at Canterbury Crown Court today
06:41 for the manslaughter of Guy Malbec,
06:43 who you can see on the screen now.
06:45 It's the murder trial of the 51-year-old,
06:48 alleged murder on Sunday, April 9th, Easter Sunday.
06:52 He was found with severe head and facial injuries
06:56 plus fractured ribs.
06:59 Mr Malbec was a disabled man and a trained barrister,
07:03 but at the time he was sleeping rough
07:06 and at Castle Street car park in Canterbury.
07:10 The prosecution alleged Mr Sabantu
07:13 was the main perpetrator,
07:15 but there are three other men alleged
07:18 to have some involvement in this case.
07:21 It's worth noting they pled not guilty to manslaughter,
07:25 but all of the men were in touch
07:28 and did know each other prior to the incident.
07:32 But for Mr Sabantu, he maintains his denial
07:35 that he did not intend to cause Mr Malbec
07:38 to die or sustain injuries.
07:39 This afternoon, it's understood
07:41 that Mr Malbec was giving evidence to the court
07:44 and it's worth following Kent online
07:45 for more details on that over the weekend
07:48 and the trial does continue.
07:50 - Okay, well, thank you.
07:50 As you said, the trial continues.
07:51 We'll keep up to date with that as the story unfolds.
07:55 Next, thousands of pounds have been raised
07:57 after a fire at Rhodisham Primary School near Sittingbourne.
08:01 Fire crews spent two hours on Thursday evening
08:03 fighting the flames, which badly damaged the school's roof,
08:06 which was being repaired during half term.
08:08 Four fire engines were sent to the scene
08:10 where a crane was also called.
08:12 Kent Fire and Rescue Service say
08:14 that no injuries have been reported
08:15 and that the cause isn't yet known.
08:17 A fundraising page has been set up
08:19 for the school in the hours since
08:21 and has already reached more than 2,700 pounds.
08:25 (pages rustling)
08:27 Next tonight, residents in Whitstable say
08:29 they're frustrated at a new building development
08:31 that they say is reminiscent of the Titanic
08:33 in their back gardens.
08:35 Initial plans for the development were agreed to years ago,
08:38 but the building that has since been built
08:40 is far different to what was expected,
08:42 though the building's owners say they're now doing
08:44 what they can to put things right, as Jamie Levy reports.
08:49 - It's what the residents are calling the Titanic
08:51 at the end of their garden.
08:52 These were the initial plans submitted
08:54 for this development in Whitstable,
08:55 which were agreed to years ago,
08:57 but what has since been built is far different
09:00 to what locals were expecting.
09:02 - It's totally in stark contrast to the original plans.
09:06 And because of the huge contrast,
09:09 it's had a huge impact on the residents here.
09:13 They've lost light because there's no setbacks,
09:16 so there's far less light coming in.
09:19 Privacy, look at it, it's overlooking their gardens.
09:22 There's residents that haven't been able
09:23 to sit in their gardens since this has been built.
09:25 So something drastic has to be done,
09:27 whether that is it being knocked down completely,
09:30 whether it's being partially knocked down,
09:31 and it needs to look like the original plans.
09:35 - In 2019, the UK government set out a housing target
09:38 of 300,000 new homes per year.
09:40 And although a government report recently revealed
09:42 that this was unlikely to be met,
09:44 new housing developments have been a topic of contention
09:47 across the county for some years.
09:49 Though for this specific development,
09:51 it's been argued that the housing itself isn't the issue,
09:54 but the manner in which it's being developed.
09:56 - It doesn't really work because of the way it affects
10:00 the neighbors, the visual effect it has on the neighbors,
10:05 its scale, its massing, and its materials.
10:08 And this has been a prime motivator
10:10 for all the residents here to actually sort of fight it.
10:14 In my years of professional work, of 35 years,
10:18 I actually haven't seen anything like that before,
10:20 which is that it's got this far.
10:21 - Now, many questions could be asked
10:23 about how a development like this one
10:25 could be allowed to go off plan so much.
10:27 Well, the local council's planning committee says
10:29 that this development could have been overlooked.
10:32 - Obviously, the planning department is,
10:35 I think it's fairly well known that it's under-resourced.
10:37 And most of the time, we do stop things like this.
10:40 We will come out and inspect it.
10:41 Maybe this one just sort of dropped through the net, really.
10:45 - In a statement, one of the owners of the buildings,
10:47 Oliver Yule, told KMTV that they had been advised
10:50 to make variations to the buildings early last year.
10:53 He said once building had commenced,
10:54 Building Control, a 10-year build warranty company,
10:57 and a banks monitoring surveyor
10:58 checked the developments regularly.
11:01 Once the variation plans were refused in December,
11:03 they met regularly with an architect
11:05 and the council to reach a solution.
11:07 They are now making new proposals
11:08 to accommodate the residents' concerns.
11:10 He added, had they known they'd be in the situation today,
11:13 they would have never taken the professional advice
11:15 in the first place to make the initial variations.
11:18 Canterbury City Council have confirmed
11:19 it's considering options around enforcement.
11:23 Jamie Levy for KMTV.
11:24 - Time for us to take a quick break now,
11:27 but coming up, we'll be speaking to somebody
11:28 from the Kent Paranormal Investigation,
11:31 who say they've seen hundreds of ghosts over the years,
11:34 fitting in time for Halloween.
11:35 As well as that, we've been asking members of the public
11:37 what they make of the new plastic-free poppies.
11:40 They're aiming to make them all paper-free by 2025.
11:44 All that and more coming in the next few minutes.
11:46 See you then.

15:06 - Hello, and welcome back to Kentonite, live on KMTV.
15:15 Now, residents in Canterbury say the closure
15:17 of a major route is causing absolute carnage,
15:19 with an ambulance among the vehicles
15:21 that have been stuck in standstill traffic.
15:24 Side roads have become gridlocked,
15:26 as motorists have been trying to find a way
15:28 in and out of Canterbury,
15:29 as the A28 at Winsheep was shut.
15:32 It comes after the key road was shut on Wednesday afternoon
15:34 for emergency gas works amid ongoing repairs
15:37 to the network, which have taken place this month.
15:40 A statement from Kent Highway says,
15:41 "Warn motorists to expect delays,"
15:43 whilst gas operator SGN says, "It's still too soon
15:46 "to say how quickly the urgent repairs will be complete."
15:49 Now, Aylesford's Royal British Legion factory
15:52 has been busy making millions of poppies
15:54 as they launch this year's Poppier Pill,
15:56 but this year with a slight twist.
15:58 The poppies are completely plastic-free,
16:00 being made solely from paper.
16:02 There are still some plastic ones in distribution,
16:04 as they're using up old stock,
16:06 but they aim to be completely plastic-free by 2025.
16:09 So we asked people in Chatham their thoughts.
16:12 - I think that's a lot better,
16:13 where what we've got over warming
16:15 being quite a significant thing nowadays.
16:18 I think having every little helps
16:20 in terms of just recycling and all that.
16:23 For me, it symbolizes my granddad
16:26 who fought in the war back in World War II,
16:29 and remembering his legacy back then.
16:32 - Do you reuse your poppy?
16:34 - Yes, I do actually, yes, yes.
16:37 And it says peace in it,
16:39 the white poppy with peace in it.
16:41 - I mean, I can understand,
16:42 'cause people just wear the poppies,
16:44 and then they just throw them away.
16:47 - Now let's take a look at the forecast for the weather.
16:50 Will it be the weather for Halloween activities
16:52 this weekend?
16:53 Let's take a look.
16:54 (upbeat music)
16:59 (bell dings)
17:01 Well, it's looking pretty rainy and miserable.
17:03 Maybe not the night for any outdoor Halloween activities.
17:06 Rain across the board.
17:08 Little bit of sunshine tomorrow,
17:09 12 and 13 degrees across the board,
17:12 but mostly pretty rainy.
17:14 Staying rainy throughout the afternoon,
17:16 getting a little windier as the day goes on.
17:18 Got fairly warm in North Kent,
17:21 and that rain is sticking around
17:23 until early next week as well.
17:25 14 degrees mostly throughout the week.
17:27 (upbeat music)
17:30 (bell dings)
17:34 Yeah, don't forget about those clocks going back.
17:39 And now, do you believe in ghosts?
17:41 Have you ever seen one?
17:42 Well, a group of paranormal investigators in Kent
17:44 say they've found hundreds.
17:46 Locations such as Pluckley and Bluebell Hill
17:49 are some of the locations in the county
17:51 known for their paranormal activity.
17:52 Simon Lupton from Kent Paranormal Investigation
17:55 says there has been an increase in recent years
17:57 in the number of paranormal activities
17:59 that have been found in Kent.
18:01 And he joins me in the studio now.
18:03 So Simon, perfect in time for Halloween.
18:06 Tell us a little bit about some of these ghosts.
18:09 It might be a little bit creepy to some viewers,
18:11 but tell us a little bit about some of the work you do
18:13 and some of these ghosts you've been finding in Kent.
18:16 - So basically, we go out and,
18:19 me, myself, I'm sensitive to spirit.
18:23 Places like Pluckley, also you've got Bluebell Hill,
18:28 and we go and investigate with some of the equipment
18:32 that we've got on the table
18:33 that we will probably be showing you in a minute.
18:36 And just try and find answers, really,
18:39 to many questions out there to do with the paranormal.
18:43 - So tell me a little bit, briefly,
18:44 about what some of this kit does.
18:47 - Well, as I said, I'm sensitive to spirit.
18:51 So when you're filming,
18:54 'cause we do some filming as well,
18:57 you can't show on film what I'm experiencing.
19:00 So for the viewers at home,
19:02 what we try to do is show what might be there.
19:06 So typical example, we have a cat ball.
19:09 You put that on the floor,
19:13 and then you ask spirit, if there's any spirits around,
19:16 can you make that light up?
19:17 And a great piece of equipment
19:20 that sits with the cat ball
19:22 is something called an EDI meter,
19:25 which has temperature, and it also has vibration.
19:30 And the only reason for the cat ball to go off
19:32 is a temperature change or vibration.
19:35 So if you've got the EDI meter next to it,
19:37 and that's not going off, but the cat ball is going off,
19:39 then you've got to ask the question,
19:42 how can you explain that?
19:44 - Now there are going to be some people
19:45 that are a little bit sceptical about this.
19:49 I guess what would you say to those people
19:51 that are a little bit sceptical about believing in ghosts?
19:55 - My wife is sceptical herself.
19:58 So she comes out and she tries to debunk everything,
20:01 and we try to debunk stuff as well.
20:03 But when you have stuff that comes to you
20:08 that you really can't explain,
20:10 and I'll give you a very quick example.
20:12 We was at a home,
20:14 because we do get asked to go to Hazes sometimes,
20:18 and I received a name.
20:21 I asked the client if this was someone
20:23 that lived here in the past,
20:25 and she said, "No, never."
20:27 One of the people that was with me,
20:29 so one of my paranormal investigators,
20:31 she goes on that ancestry.com,
20:34 and the very next day, she looks at Ancestry,
20:37 and she couldn't wait to ring me,
20:39 and she said, "You can't believe this.
20:41 "That name that you pulled out last night
20:43 "was a name of the old couple
20:48 "that used to live there,
20:50 "of their daughter that passed many years prior."
20:53 So how can you explain that?
20:56 - Well, Simon, thank you for joining us today.
20:59 Yeah, thanks.
20:59 Interesting to find out a little bit about the work you do,
21:01 especially if you say that interest has gone up recently.
21:04 Thank you, Simon.
21:04 - Thank you.
21:06 - Now, don't forget,
21:07 you can always keep up to date
21:08 with all of your latest stories across Kent
21:10 by logging onto our website, kmtv.co.uk.
21:13 There you'll find all our latest reports,
21:15 including this one,
21:16 where our reporter, Bartholomew Hall,
21:18 went to try and find some ghosts for himself
21:20 in Tunbridge Castle.
21:21 Tunbridge Castle is the centerpiece
21:24 of the medieval West Kent town that it's named after.
21:27 Now, for one night in November,
21:29 members of the public are invited
21:30 to explore its ghostly reputation.
21:33 Described by some paranormal experts
21:39 as Kent's most haunted spot,
21:42 the Motten Bailey site has been around for about 950 years.
21:46 I caught up with Tim Brown,
21:47 who is currently on a ghost hunting tour with his team,
21:50 the Paranormal Intelligence Gathering Service,
21:52 or PIGS for short.
21:54 The PIGS have been hosting ghost hunts
21:56 in the South East and Channel Islands since 2006,
21:59 using specialist equipment such as trigger objects
22:02 and instrumental transcommunication devices.
22:04 - Wow. - There you go.
22:07 - That was so clear.
22:08 - What we found is that when stuff does happen
22:10 at Tunbridge Castle over the years,
22:11 there is consistency along the lines of that,
22:14 in the basement area, there was some consistent experiences.
22:18 In what we call the tunnel area,
22:21 we've got some quite interesting data there,
22:24 which again has been consistent over a few investigations.
22:27 Is Tunbridge Castle haunted?
22:29 For the believer, absolutely.
22:32 For the skeptic, come and find out for yourself, I'd say.
22:36 - One true believer is Liz.
22:38 She's one of Tunbridge Castle's tour guides
22:40 who told me about her own experiences of ghosts
22:42 when working at the site.
22:44 - So I've always had sort of thoughts
22:47 that there could certainly be something,
22:50 but when I came to the castle here,
22:53 it was confirmed really, which is understandable
22:56 when you think of the history and the times
22:59 and the number of people that came
23:01 to unfortunate deaths really, and lived in the castle,
23:06 but then they accepted it all, didn't they?
23:07 So it was a way of life.
23:10 - And echoes of that way of life can still be seen now.
23:13 These gaps in the floor are known as murder holes,
23:16 designed to ambush any potential attackers underneath.
23:19 And these faces carved into the stonework
23:21 are thought to be members of the Clare family,
23:24 left to watch over those who pass through their family home
23:27 for what would become almost a millennium.
23:29 So do ghosts really exist?
23:31 Well, not just at Tunbridge Castle,
23:33 but across the Kent County,
23:34 there are plenty of ghouling hotspots
23:37 that both spirit skeptics and true ghost believers
23:40 can test out for themselves with their own investigation
23:43 and just maybe might come back with an answer.
23:46 Bartholomew Hall for KMTV in Tunbridge.
23:51 - Very scary report from Bartholomew Hall there.
23:57 And he joins me now to talk to me very briefly
24:00 about that report,
24:00 but also about the sport what's to come tonight.
24:03 So yeah, the stories you're covering now are very different
24:06 from the stories you were covering last Halloween,
24:08 aren't they?
24:08 - They're quite different, yes.
24:10 No, that was quite a fun report.
24:12 Going out to Tunbridge and talking about
24:14 all the sort of ghostly happenings
24:15 that have been there over the years.
24:17 But yes, no, firmly onto sport nowadays.
24:20 - Yeah, so tell me what's to come tonight.
24:22 - Yes, we've got quite an interesting Invictus sport
24:23 coming up just after the break.
24:25 We're gonna be talking about flag football.
24:28 Now, if you haven't heard of flag football,
24:30 it's much in the same vein of American football,
24:33 but there's no contact.
24:34 You use flags.
24:36 Essentially, you might've played tag rugby
24:37 when you were at school with those sort of tags
24:38 that hang from the waist.
24:40 Instead of tackling, it's all about pulling the tags
24:42 and that's how you tackle.
24:44 And it's played on a much smaller field
24:47 than American football.
24:48 But the interesting thing is that it's just been added
24:50 to the Olympics as one of the five new sports,
24:53 including, you're gonna test my memory here,
24:55 cricket, squash, lacrosse.
24:58 Those are some of the sports that have been added
25:01 to the 2028 Olympics alongside flag football.
25:04 And we've got a small community here in Kent.
25:06 We'll be speaking with the Thanet Mustangs,
25:08 who we visited last week at one of their training sessions.
25:11 And they're gonna be right here talking all about
25:12 the wonders of their sport.
25:14 - And you've been doing the sports show
25:16 for quite a few months now.
25:17 What would you say is some of the highlights
25:20 of covering sports so vastly across the county?
25:23 - Well, I have to say my favorite part of Invictus sport,
25:25 which we do every single week, is action replay.
25:28 And we've got action replay coming up today.
25:29 As you know, you helped out making it this week.
25:31 - I did.
25:32 - So you take my little cameo there.
25:33 But yeah, action replay is our segment every week.
25:36 We invite people from across the county
25:38 to take part in the show, share clips and pics
25:41 of them taking part in sport, whether it's something,
25:44 you know, them learning how to ride a skateboard,
25:46 or riding, you know, playing darts,
25:49 or going out and completing a marathon,
25:51 or a big fundraiser.
25:52 We really want to see it.
25:54 So just a quick message for anybody
25:55 that does sport in the county.
25:57 You can absolutely take part in Invictus sport
26:00 and in action replay.
26:01 Send in your clips and pics to sport@kmtv.co.uk,
26:06 or of course on our social media as well, @KMTVKent.
26:09 - Yeah, always looking for more clips, aren't you?
26:11 And some of our reporters have even got involved
26:13 and sent in some of their sporty clips.
26:15 I think I'm probably the least sporty reporter there is.
26:18 - Well, we actually have our partners over at Kent Online,
26:20 our sister publication.
26:22 They got in touch this week and they've shared a clip
26:25 of them playing a famous pub game,
26:26 which originates here in Kent.
26:27 - How exciting.
26:28 Really looking forward to seeing that.
26:29 You'll be joining us straight after the break.
26:31 You've been watching Kent Tonight live on KMTV.
26:34 More news made for Kent just throughout the evening,
26:36 starting with Invictus Sport,
26:38 all the latest sports news straight after the break.
26:41 Have a lovely weekend.
26:42 Both of you, we'll see you very soon.
