Tinsley House, Dover coastguard and Julian Assange

The Government plans to end the detention of children at centres such as Tinsley House near Gatwick. Plus, Kent businesswoman, Sarah Saunders, talks about supporting her friend Julian Assange.

Dominic King talks to Political Editor Louise Stewart about the Government's plans to end the detention of children at centres such as Tinsley House near Gatwick airport.

Dom crosses live to Dover to hear about the Government proposal to reshape Britain's coastguard service. 10 of the 18 stations would close and Dover coastguard would be one of only three centres in the country to operate round the clock.

Plus, Dom hears from the Kent businesswoman, Sarah Saunders. She explains why she is supporting her friend, the Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange.
