00:02 - Good evening and welcome to Kentonite live on KMTV.
00:27 I'm Abbey Hook, here are your top stories on Wednesday
00:30 the 14th of February.
00:32 Save our subjects, thousands signed petition
00:35 to protect humanities at University of Kent.
00:39 - These are very important subjects
00:40 that need to continue to be taught.
00:41 Without them, East Kent would become a cold spot
00:44 in their provision.
00:46 - Kent's small businesses are suffering.
00:48 Inflation stays at 4%, but experts say
00:52 that's far from perfect.
00:53 - If small businesses make up 99% of the economy,
00:57 and if they go under, you don't have an economy.
00:59 - And match made in Hive, Portland Park celebrates
01:04 17th anniversary of two monkeys on Valentine's Day.
01:08 - We put them together,
01:09 and they've been inseparable ever since.
01:11 - First tonight, more than 10,000 people
01:23 have signed a petition from a University of Kent professor,
01:27 calling for courses to be saved from cuts.
01:30 It comes as a 30-day consultation has been opened
01:32 by the university to close a range of subjects,
01:35 including journalism, anthropology, and art history.
01:39 The university says it's because of financial challenges
01:42 higher education is facing right across the UK.
01:45 But what does this mean for those students and staff
01:48 that it could impact?
01:49 Well, Oliver Leder de Sacks has been speaking to some.
01:52 - 11,000 signatures and counting.
01:55 That has been the response to Alvise Sforza Tarabocchio's
01:59 petition to save arts, humanities, and social sciences
02:03 at the University of Kent in just the week it has been up.
02:07 Alvise is the head of the School of Cultures and Languages,
02:12 where all the subjects are at risk of being closed
02:15 due to the university's financial difficulties.
02:18 - These are very important subjects
02:19 that need to continue to be taught.
02:21 Without them, East Kent would become a cold spot
02:23 in their provision.
02:25 Students from, for instance, deprived backgrounds
02:29 wouldn't have access to our subjects
02:33 unless they commute a long distance.
02:36 This is narrowing instead of widening participation,
02:39 one of the civic missions of the university and the sector.
02:42 - But it's not just modern languages
02:45 that could potentially be on the chopping block.
02:47 Comparative literature, philosophy, art history
02:51 are all potentially being phased out.
02:53 And for some anthropology students,
02:55 this helps spur them into action.
02:58 - We love anthropology, we love the department,
03:00 we love the lecturers, so we're really sad
03:02 that it was being considered.
03:04 Also really concerned for our futures,
03:06 what this could potentially mean for us.
03:09 Tyler and I are both graduating this year,
03:11 but it doesn't look good to be graduating
03:13 from a department that has been closed down.
03:16 - Yeah, and I was just really shocked.
03:18 Like, it came as a big surprise,
03:20 'cause just, I know how much of an impact
03:25 this department has across the country
03:26 and kind of internationally as well.
03:28 - The students say they are worried
03:30 what the potential closures could mean
03:33 for education in Kent.
03:35 - A lot of us actually looked at going
03:37 to Russell Group Universities to study anthropology,
03:39 yet so many students which have come here
03:41 chose Kent over places like Durham
03:43 because of the unique course that this place,
03:46 you know, that this course provides.
03:48 - Of all the universities that do degree similar to this,
03:50 I'm most from a Russell Group.
03:52 So Kent really supplies, you know,
03:54 access to students who may be not getting A*, A*, A*.
03:57 But, you know, at the end of the day,
03:58 we're the only university in Kent
04:01 that does evolutionary biology or anything like that.
04:03 And, you know, in Charles Darwin's own home county,
04:06 it's pretty shocking to not be studying it here.
04:09 - The University of Kent have stressed to KMTV
04:11 that these are all proposals at this stage.
04:14 In a statement, a spokesperson for the university said,
04:17 "Like many in the sector, we are responding
04:19 to a number of financial challenges,
04:22 including fixed tuition fee, rising costs,
04:25 and changes in student behaviour.
04:27 As part of this, we are exploring changes
04:30 to our size and shape to ensure we are well-placed
04:32 to grow in priority areas in the future.
04:35 None of the proposed plans being discussed
04:37 would impact current students' ability
04:39 to graduate or complete their courses.
04:41 And as with any proposed organisational change,
04:44 we will do everything we can
04:46 to minimise the impact on their studies."
04:49 With protests across campus imminent,
04:51 the future for humanities at the University of Kent
04:54 is far from certain.
04:56 Oliver Leeder, The Sacks, reporting for KMTV.
04:59 - And of course, we'll bring you more
05:01 on that protest next week as well.
05:04 Now, small companies in Kent are struggling,
05:06 according to the Federation for Small Businesses.
05:08 It comes as inflation stayed at 4% in January,
05:11 which means prices are no longer rising as fast as wages.
05:15 It's because of a rise in the cost
05:16 of gas and electricity costs.
05:18 I spoke to Tim Aker from the FSB earlier
05:21 and started by asking him to explain
05:23 what this means for the county in particular.
05:26 - Well, an inflation rate of 4% is double
05:29 the Bank of England's target of 2%.
05:31 And that means that prices will, on the whole,
05:34 go up by 4% on average,
05:36 which puts pressure on businesses, pressure on consumers.
05:39 And what we're seeing on the streets of Kent
05:42 is a business confidence crisis
05:43 and a consumer confidence crisis.
05:45 We poll our members every quarter
05:47 to gauge their profits, their revenue,
05:50 and how they think business is doing.
05:52 And each quarter has shown a dip in confidence.
05:55 Match that with a consumer crisis
05:57 where people have much less disposable income to spend,
06:00 and it's a toxic mix.
06:03 - And of course, you demonstrating there
06:04 and explaining how businesses are concerned,
06:06 but what are some of the things they're telling you?
06:08 Just how concerned are they?
06:10 I mean, our audience will be watching this this evening,
06:13 thinking we know that there are issues,
06:15 we know that businesses are struggling,
06:16 but just how bad is it?
06:18 - A lot will depend on the budget.
06:20 If the government decide to increase the VAT threshold,
06:23 that will be a relief for lots of hospitality businesses
06:26 are interested in that.
06:28 There needs to be significant income tax cuts
06:30 to put more money in people's pockets.
06:32 People are cutting back, they're cutting back on luxuries,
06:35 they're not going out as much.
06:36 I'd be interested to see today
06:37 whether people are actually going out
06:39 or getting a takeaway and dining in
06:41 and cutting back that way.
06:42 So we will see how it pans out,
06:45 but the budget is the last chance
06:47 for the government to really turn it around and stop.
06:49 What some people would say
06:51 is a terminal decline of our high streets.
06:53 - And you mentioned there dining out
06:54 and obviously restaurants, businesses,
06:56 part of that taking a hit.
06:57 What's the biggest sector here in Kent,
07:00 this county in particular,
07:01 what's that suffering with the most?
07:03 - We're seeing a lot of stress and strain on hospitality.
07:07 And I don't think that's just confined to Kent.
07:10 There's some relief with the business rates relief
07:13 that is only for another year.
07:15 So a lot of businesses are worried about that.
07:17 I mean, what business plans only a year ahead?
07:19 You're looking three, five, 10 years
07:21 that they normally plan for.
07:22 So there's a lot of concern with that.
07:24 And the local authorities as well,
07:26 they're putting the vice-like grip on the high streets
07:29 by racking up their parking charges,
07:31 which is a big disincentive.
07:32 It says, well, we're not open for business.
07:34 And they've got to realize that this short-term thinking
07:39 where they think, all right,
07:40 we're going to put parking charges up,
07:41 we'll get a few more coppers in the bank.
07:43 Well, that's not going to work
07:44 because you're driving people away.
07:46 And when the businesses go bust,
07:48 there's a business rates you're not getting.
07:49 So they really need to rethink.
07:51 Central government needs to rethink
07:53 and local government needs to rethink as well.
07:55 - Where do you think the money should come from
07:57 to help these businesses?
07:58 What's realistic here?
07:59 - Well, there's of course the realistic,
08:03 the local authorities and the government
08:05 have got to decide to put businesses first.
08:07 The government did some in the budget.
08:09 You know, they named drop the Federation of Small Businesses
08:12 and made some improvements,
08:13 but they've got to realize that small businesses
08:15 make up 99% of the economy.
08:18 And if they go under, you don't have an economy.
08:20 - Well, now it's time to catch up
08:23 on the latest health headlines
08:25 with KMTV's health expert, Dr. Julian Spinks.
08:35 Julian, thank you very much for joining us today.
08:37 Every Wednesday, of course.
08:38 Now, firstly, experts are saying ultra processed foods
08:41 should be clearly labeled.
08:42 There's an issue with mainly meat alternative products.
08:46 They're falling into the sort of wrong category.
08:48 They're coming up as green when they perhaps should be
08:50 maybe the amber, orange color or red.
08:52 Can you explain that for us?
08:54 - Yes, we're increasingly understanding
08:56 that ultra processed food,
08:57 food that's gone through a lot of processes
09:00 is generally not as good for you as starting from scratch.
09:04 The problem goes that people tend to think that,
09:08 for example, vegetarian meat and other products
09:12 such as gluten-free food is automatically healthy,
09:15 although a lot of it is ultra processed
09:16 and it's high in sugar and high in fat and so on.
09:19 So the idea is being open about it
09:21 the same way as we've had nutritional labeling
09:23 saying how much fat and sugar you've got in food.
09:25 - Do people actually look at the labels?
09:27 In your experience as a GP in particular,
09:30 are people looking at them?
09:31 Are they taking notice?
09:33 - I hate to say it, but normally only when people
09:35 are on a diet to lose weight
09:36 or if you're like me and you're diabetic
09:38 where you do get used to reading them.
09:40 But we do want people to actually take notice about that
09:43 because sometimes just comparing a couple of products,
09:45 you can see one is significantly healthier than the other.
09:48 - And if we move on to another health headline,
09:51 for the past week or so now, this has been the discussion,
09:55 Alzheimer's Research UK are saying that
09:57 patients can't access two new drugs.
09:59 These are two new, really improved drugs
10:02 that are gonna make such a difference to a lot of patients,
10:05 which I'm sure you can explain in more detail,
10:07 but they can't access them because the NHS is unprepared.
10:11 - Yes, and there's a problem with the drugs.
10:13 The drugs are effective,
10:14 but they have to be used early in the disease
10:16 and they only work for Alzheimer's disease.
10:19 So what happens is we need to get early confirmation
10:22 that the person has that type of dementia.
10:24 That involves having a special scan.
10:26 We do not have the capacity to do that,
10:28 which means that people are tended to be picked up
10:30 later on when it's too late to use the drug.
10:33 So it needs a lot of work to be able to introduce
10:36 the drugs into the NHS.
10:38 If we're gonna get the best out of them way too late,
10:40 it doesn't make any point really giving them that drug.
10:43 - And the problem, it seems, is that we have these two drugs
10:46 that could help, could help a lot of people early on,
10:48 but the longer we wait, they miss that opportunity.
10:51 But also it seems to speak more to an issue
10:55 of creating this medical innovation
10:57 that's not in time within NHS to keep up.
11:01 - It's a very common thing these days,
11:02 the innovations go faster than the NHS can change.
11:06 And obviously to suddenly put on extra capacity,
11:08 have more scanners and so on, you can't do it immediately.
11:11 And finance, I'm afraid, also plays a factor
11:14 so that unfortunately we can't afford
11:15 to do a lot of this stuff.
11:17 - Is there any way anybody can go on a trial
11:19 for this drug very quickly?
11:20 Is there any way people watching this
11:22 that are thinking, I would like this
11:23 if they're impacted by Alzheimer's,
11:25 is there anything they could do?
11:26 - At the moment it's not easily accessible.
11:28 And actually we're still working a lot on the initial trials
11:31 to see how best to introduce it.
11:33 It will come along, but not gonna be for a year or two.
11:36 - Okay, Julian, thank you very much
11:37 for keeping us up to date.
11:39 Now it's time for a very short break,
11:42 but coming up, it's the day of love for many.
11:44 But is there too much pressure on the celebration?
11:46 Certainly not for a pair of monkeys in Hive.
11:49 Find out why after the break.
11:50 See you then.

15:04 - Hello there and welcome back to Kentonite live on KMTV.
15:17 Now a horse racing fixture that was set to take place
15:20 at Charing Point has been cancelled
15:22 following the death of a jockey at the course.
15:25 Keegan Kirkby died when his horse ran into the fence
15:28 after refusing to go over one of the jumps
15:31 early at the start of the month.
15:32 The event has been called off as the investigation continues
15:36 into the circumstances that led to the 25 year old
15:39 losing his life.
15:40 The point to point authority says it is not a reflection
15:43 on the course itself or the team that runs the fixtures.
15:46 They also say they did everything they could
15:48 on the day of the incident
15:50 and the family are raising money online.
15:52 I think they've raised more than 50,000 pounds now.
15:56 Now from cards to chocolate to bouquets of roses,
15:59 many will of course be celebrating Valentine's Day
16:03 but others in Kent just aren't that bothered.
16:05 Many feel the pressure, some feel lonely,
16:08 but some are taking time to enjoy being with loved ones.
16:11 But what do you think?
16:12 We've been asking people in Rochester.
16:15 - I think it's really important to not chase it
16:18 as like the biggest thing in your life
16:20 and to sort of have it on the sidelines
16:23 'cause if it is too big of a thing
16:24 then it becomes your whole life.
16:26 But when the option comes around to, you know,
16:28 enjoying someone else and spending time with them,
16:30 I think Valentine's Day is a wonderful thing
16:32 'cause love is a great thing to have.
16:34 - I used to but not anymore really now.
16:36 - Well, there's a real problem with loneliness at the moment.
16:39 There's a lot of single people who have a lot of trouble
16:42 either making friends, they're not...
16:44 And this time of year, I can imagine,
16:47 probably compounds that problem.
16:48 So yes, I think it's very overblown.
16:51 - I think it's overhyped
16:53 and there's a lot of pressure on people to do it
16:56 but if you ignore that pressure...
16:58 I mean, you know, we're not gonna go out
17:00 and buy thousands of roses or things
17:03 that are overly inflated price-wise
17:06 but I think it's quite a good thing to be able to do,
17:09 to celebrate.
17:11 - I don't celebrate it but I'm very, very much aware of it.
17:13 I don't think you can avoid it.
17:15 - But love is certainly in the air for this couple.
17:21 Today marks Clyde and Tolkien's 17th anniversary.
17:25 They're howler monkeys and live at Portland Reserve in Hithe.
17:29 Now, happily enjoying their retirement together,
17:32 I wondered what the secret behind such a long
17:34 and successful relationship for a monkey was.
17:37 Jamie Robertson, head of primates at the park,
17:39 gave me the insight earlier on.
17:42 - I think it's down to our male Clyde.
17:45 He is very patient, very loving.
17:48 So even when she's in a grump with him,
17:51 he's just totally devoted.
17:52 He just follows her around.
17:54 And then when she sits still,
17:55 he just sort of comes up and cuddles her with his tail
17:57 and he's just always there for her.
17:59 - So sweet.
18:00 How and why were they partnered?
18:01 Why did they make such a good match?
18:03 - Well, Tolkien was born here
18:07 and when it was time for her to leave her family group,
18:09 we tried to find a male for her.
18:12 So the stud book, which controls the genetic diversity
18:15 of the species, he recommended Clyde.
18:19 He was actually born in Singapore
18:21 and came all the way from Singapore.
18:22 So he's very exotic.
18:24 So we put them together
18:25 and they've been inseparable ever since.
18:28 - And as a keeper, as someone that I imagine
18:30 watches and observes these animals every day,
18:33 it must be incredible to watch
18:34 how they emotionally support each other.
18:36 Were you surprised by seeing that?
18:38 - Yeah, I mean, they can be sometimes quite difficult to mix.
18:44 Just like humans, a lot of time they need
18:46 to fancy their partner,
18:48 especially the ones that stay together for their whole lives.
18:52 So yeah, it was nice to see,
18:53 especially as I've known Tolkien from birth,
18:56 to watch her grow up from a baby into an adult
18:59 and then to become a mum herself
19:01 and to have Clyde always there next to her, supporting her.
19:03 It's been very special.
19:05 - How the monkeys themselves, the species,
19:07 are endangered, I believe,
19:09 been that way for more than 20 years.
19:12 Why is that?
19:12 And what as a park are you doing
19:14 to try and contribute to keeping them alive in the wild?
19:19 - It's mainly for the howlers,
19:22 just trying to get a good genetic diversity in captivity
19:26 so that when we get to the point
19:27 where we can start to reintroduce them back into the wild,
19:29 we have a good, healthy population.
19:32 But it's also about educating the public
19:35 about all animals that have become endangered
19:37 and getting them to support the zoo,
19:40 both financially and in other ways.
19:43 So yeah, it's all about trying to get, education-wise,
19:47 and a good population that we can then look to
19:50 to repopulate the wild.
19:52 - And it's Clyde and Tolkien's relationship
19:54 that's the star of the show today on this day in particular.
19:57 But I wondered about your relationship with them.
19:59 Obviously, you were mentioning how you've known Clyde
20:01 since the very beginning, all them years ago.
20:04 But what's it like as a keeper?
20:05 How close can we get as humans to these,
20:08 this species and animal in particular?
20:10 Do you try and keep a distance to keep them more wild?
20:12 - For a lot of them, yes.
20:15 We try and take a step back,
20:18 because a lot of them potentially will go back to the wild.
20:21 So you don't want them too humanized.
20:23 With Tolkien, it's, like I say, I've known her since birth.
20:28 She's always actually preferred humans,
20:31 especially to our own family.
20:33 So when she was a baby and firstborn,
20:36 she was the first child that her parents had.
20:40 So she had no brothers and sisters to play with.
20:41 So she always used to play with her keepers.
20:44 And even from that early age,
20:47 she's now very friendly towards us.
20:49 So although we do try and keep a healthy distance,
20:51 she's very much wants to come over and say hello to us
20:54 every time we go and see her and feed her.
20:56 - Well, congratulations to those two there.
21:01 So, so sweet, those pictures there.
21:03 Well, it's time for us to take a quick look
21:05 at the weather forecast now.
21:13 Well, your Valentine's evening looking pretty miserable.
21:15 If you're heading out, take an umbrella.
21:17 Rain right across the county.
21:19 But tomorrow morning, temperatures of 14 in North Kent,
21:22 some sun between the clouds and staying nice and dry.
21:25 The afternoon, much of the same,
21:26 between 12 and 14 degrees, a little wind.
21:30 Nothing too much.
21:31 But enjoy the dry weather while it lasts.
21:33 Rain on Friday and on Sunday too.
21:37 (upbeat music)
21:40 - Now, don't forget, you can keep up to date
21:50 with all your latest stories across Kent
21:53 by logging onto our website, that's kmtv.co.uk.
21:57 There you'll find all our reports, including this one,
21:59 about a silent disco at Canterbury Cathedral.
22:04 (crowd cheering)
22:07 Backstreet Boys from the back of Canterbury Cathedral.
22:19 No silent prayer, but a sold out silent disco
22:23 in one of the UK's most prominent religious buildings.
22:27 The 90s themed party will welcome 3,000 people
22:31 across four sessions this week.
22:33 But it's caused a stir in the Christian community,
22:36 not only here in Kent, but right across the pond,
22:39 hitting headlines in the New York Post.
22:42 Peaceful protesters gathered outside on the opening night,
22:46 concerned that the birthplace of English Christianity
22:49 isn't being preserved.
22:51 - It's going to see a rave inside of there tonight.
22:56 Alcohol is going to be served and music,
22:59 that is the very opposite of holy, profane,
23:00 is going to be played.
23:02 And frankly, I was quite horrified to see
23:05 that the Church of England, the Dean of the Cathedral
23:07 and the Archbishop were giving the okay on this.
23:11 It's definitely going to bring people
23:12 into the church tonight,
23:13 but they will not be here on Sunday morning.
23:16 - In fact, the Dean of Canterbury has drawn
23:18 on a religious comparison for the event,
23:21 saying the Bible celebrates the gift of dancing
23:23 with King David, adding that it will be appropriate
23:26 to and respectful of the Cathedral.
23:29 It's categorically not a rave in the nave, he says,
23:33 but it is aimed at drawing a younger generation
23:36 of worshippers in.
23:38 It's part of a series of silent discos taking place
23:41 in cathedrals and historic buildings
23:43 around the UK and Europe.
23:45 Next stop's in Chester.
23:47 But with another night of spiced up service at the Cathedral,
23:51 ♪ You'll see what I want ♪
23:53 the wannabe ravers here, others hope the blessed building
23:56 will of course continue as the county's hub
23:59 for Christianity.
24:01 Abbey Hook for KMTV in Canterbury.
24:04 ♪ You really, really wanna zig-a-zag ♪
24:07 - Looks like so much fun every time as well.
24:09 And straight after the break,
24:11 we have another episode of Kent on Climate.
24:13 Producer Oliver joins me in the studio now.
24:16 What's coming up on tonight's episode?
24:18 - Well, there's no better way to enjoy Valentine's
24:20 than curled up on the couch watching Kent on Climate.
24:24 And we have a great show lined up.
24:26 We have Rubbish Poole coming in.
24:28 Kieran Poole is what he also does.
24:32 He designs these amazing canvases on pool tables
24:36 made of litter and rubbish.
24:37 He's on a one-man mission to tackle littering.
24:41 It's not rubbish and pool, it's amazing pool.
24:45 He even made a great Mona Lisa canvas.
24:51 He is really incredible.
24:52 Our reporter Gabriel went down earlier to speak to him.
24:55 So there'll be a full package as you can see on screen.
24:57 Look at the amazing work he's doing.
25:00 I couldn't do that.
25:01 I'm not sure you could as well, Abby.
25:03 - Oh, don't knock it to you.
25:04 You've tried it, Ollie.
25:05 You don't know.
25:06 Maybe I could do it with him.
25:07 It's incredible.
25:08 I imagine you can't play while on the pool table.
25:11 And it's interesting that he's done it on a pool table.
25:14 - Yeah, you have to ask him about that.
25:18 I'm not sure what inspired that,
25:20 but it is definitely an inspired choice.
25:23 - Probably the surname.
25:24 What else is coming up on Kenton Climate?
25:26 - Well, we're also going to hear a little bit more about blue tongue in the county.
25:30 Obviously a major issue for agricultural sector here in Kent.
25:35 There's been a control zone in the region.
25:37 It has had impacts on farmers here in Kent.
25:41 So we'll be hearing a little bit more about what that means for farmers.
25:44 There's also a few other things lined up.
25:47 We saw it earlier this week, but dolphins in the River Medway.
25:52 Incredible. And also talking of mammals in Kent,
25:56 we'll be looking back to last year when you met some lovely seals in Pegwell Bay.
26:01 I'm very excited to look back on those.
26:03 - That was always one of my favourite reports and favourite trips out here at KMTV.
26:07 That was amazing. Lots of species and wildlife being brought to the coast.
26:10 It'd be good to discuss more on Kenton Climate.
26:12 And of course, another starring from those two monkeys there, Clyde and Torquion.
26:20 So cute.
26:20 Olly, thank you for giving us all the details.
26:22 Lots to come in Kenton Climate right after the break.
26:26 Well, you've been watching Kentonite live on KMTV.
26:29 There's more news made for Kent just throughout the evening with our 8pm news bulletin as well.
26:33 But of course, stick around. Don't go anywhere.
26:35 We have a brand new episode of Kenton Climate right after the break.
26:39 I'll see you then.
