Growing calls for the Clacton MP to call a by-election | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
after he leaves Ukip and goes independent. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
He was elected as a Ukip MP, and he's no longer Ukip. | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
Therefore he should go back to the people and see | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
Andrew McVicar - a convicted murderer on the run, | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
The police warn people not to approach him. | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
I'm in Southend with one of the country's | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
longest serving managers, celebrating his fourth anniversary. | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
And I'm here in Bedfordshire where five family portraits are returning | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
First tonight, growing calls for another by-election in Clacton, | :00:38. | :00:54. | |
after the local MP once again decided to leave the party | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
Douglas Carswell announced his decision over the weekend - | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
he resigned from Ukip and will now sit as an independent. | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
Back in 2014 he left the Conservatives for Ukip - | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
This time he doesn't think that's necessary, | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
but members of his old party disagree. | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
Here's our political correspondent Andrew Sinclair. | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
This is a critical time for a party which has in the past commanded | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
Four years ago its tally of county councillors dramatically went | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
from two to 33 across Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex. | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
In the European elections it polled 34.5% | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
of the vote in the east - higher than anywhere | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
In the last general election its share of the vote | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
But over the last few months the party's been arguing | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
about what its role should be now that we're leaving the EU - | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
to lose its only MP does nothing to help. | :01:54. | :02:03. | |
When Douglas Carswell left the Conservatives in 2014 he thought it | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
right to call a by-election. So now that he is moving again should there | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
be another one in Clacton? No, as he is not standing for another party I | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
don't see why. Your personal people voted for you as a Ukip member, you | :02:20. | :02:29. | |
got to have a by-election. He's not going to back us so I think we | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
should maybe have someone else. He is a traitor. That is what many in | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
the local party think so that is why the clamour for a by-election has | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
grown. Today it was taken up by the big guns. We put considerable | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
resources into getting him elected to you is ago. It was the Ukip | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
tickets that got him in. He has decided he doesn't want to be Ukip | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
any more and he should put himself in front of his constituents or | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
bosses as he calls them to CFE has done the right thing. We will write | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
to every house in Clacton and see if they want a by-election and if more | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
than 20% do we will just find out how honourable Mr Carswell is. By | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
law he doesn't have to call a by-election. He argues this time | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
things are different. He is not taking on another party's believes | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
he's just going to be himself and sit as an independent. I'm not | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
saying I'm going to submit myself to the whip of a new party. If I was to | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
make that transition them quite rightly I would need the permission | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
of the electorate. But I'm saying I don't have a whip or rather I have | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
70,000 whips. They are the local people of Clacton. But all this is a | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
gift to the other parties on the day that campaigning for the local | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
elections began. Hopefully now this will spark the people of Clacton to | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
wake up and realise that Ukip are dead in the water. Ukip have never | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
really been a serious political party, they've always been a protest | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
movement. Now they have no members of Parliament I think that | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
underlines the point. They are subdividing and subdividing and who | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
knows? It might get some cohesion somewhere. The problem to Ukip is | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
that it isn't just happening in Clacton. Last week its leader on | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
Norfolk County Council resigned. Its leader in Suffolk went a few months | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
ago. Most of the county council is in Essex are not planning to stand | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
again. Ukip has often surprised at elections and may do so again but | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
this has been a weekend it will want to forget. | :04:30. | :04:30. | |
Patrick O'Flynn is one of the Ukip MEPs for this region, | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
and is also Chief Policy Adviser for the party. | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
Earlier this afternoon I asked him if he thinks | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
I think that's very much to be led by the people, the electors of | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
If there's an overwhelming demand then I would | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
have thought Douglas, a keen democrat, would listen to that. | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
What do you think it says about the state of | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
Ukip at the moment that he feels it necessary to leave? | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
I don't really think it's about the state of Ukip. | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
I think, with Douglas, he very much came to Ukip | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
He feels, yes, we won the referendum, and he sees the | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
triggering imminently of Article 50 as the moment of victory. | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
I'm rather less trusting than he is of | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
Theresa May, you know, and the Conservative Party. | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
Yes, formally, they've adopted the Brexit position, | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
but I think we do need a party such as Ukip to be the guard-dog | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
of Brexit and to hold them to account. | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
The state of Ukip is fine at the moment, is it? | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
Even though we're having trouble on Norfolk | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
County Council, Suffolk County Council and Essex County Council? | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
Well, look, I think no one can doubt that we've got a round of County | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
elections coming up which will be the most difficult local elections | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
that Ukip faces between now and 2020 and the general election, | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
and I would expect were we to break even that would be a fantastic | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
result, but we are braced for some degree of net losses. | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
When I was speaking to Douglas Carswell, he appeared to | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
sound as if he was going to rejoin the Conservative Party. | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
I mean, we'll see when the election comes. | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
It would be a very interesting 3-way fight in Clacton | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
between independent Douglas Carswell, Conservative and Ukip, | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
So I don't know whether that will be the case or whether it | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
be Douglas Carswell - Conservative candidate. | :06:23. | :06:23. | |
I mean, I'm clearly not in control of that. | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
Do you think that he was prepared to call a by-election when he joined | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
Ukip because he thought he could win, and now he is not | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
prepared to have a by-election because he thinks he would lose? | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
I thank him for the contribution he made to the run up | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
to the referendum and the course of the referendum. | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
I really can't speculate about motives. | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
Do you think he would lose if there was a by-election now? | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
I think Douglas Carswell has a very strong political brand in Clacton. | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
I think if there was a by-election now | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
and he was standing as an independent and Ukip were standing | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
and Conservatives were standing it would be interesting and lively, | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
and you'll excuse me from having put a lot of effort into the | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
Stoke-on-Trent Central by-election recently, | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
if I don't regard such a prospect with unalloyed enthusiasm. | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
It would be hard work and it would be a close 3-way race. | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
Patrick O'Flynn, thank you very much. | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
A man is on the run tonight - wanted in connection | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
Detectives say they urgently need to speak to Andrew McVicar | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
after a botched robbery at Hullbridge near Southend | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
Police describe him as dangerous, and have confirmed he served time | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
for killing another man in Dunstable when he was 15 years old. | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
This is the drive in Hull bridge. Eight days ago there was a robbery | :07:47. | :08:01. | |
here. One of the victims was injured and died two days later. Andrew | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
MacVicar is thought to have been involved. At the moment he is | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
certainly Essex Police's most wanted. They want you to take a very | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
good look at the picture you are about to see, and if you spot him | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
police want you to let them know. But whatever you do, don't approach | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
him. Police say he is dangerous and could be armed. He is 33 now but | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
when he was just 15 he attacked a stranger with a broken bottle. His | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
victim led to death. He is on the run after a robbery in Essex. Police | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
want the public to help find him. We be very grateful if they could look | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
at his picture, keep their eyes open for him, if they see him please call | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
999, do not approach him. We will catch up with him and I would say to | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
him, if you are watching this, hand yourself in. The robbery happened on | :09:01. | :09:09. | |
March 19. A group of friends were confronted by a gang wearing | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
balaclavas. A 57-year-old was pushed over, hit his head on a low wall and | :09:14. | :09:22. | |
died two days later. The man has family connections in Luton and | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
police say he was seen there at the weekend. | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
Let's give you a fuller description. Five foot nine. He has Scottish | :09:28. | :09:36. | |
accent. He has tattooed on his forearms Reading honour and pride. | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
He is stocky, it looks like he is into body-building. If you have seen | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
him call police on 101 or Crimestoppers on oh 800 555 111. And | :09:47. | :09:56. | |
police urge him if he is watching this, to hand himself in. | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
An inquest has heard how a patient with schizophrenia ran out | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
of medication while in the care of a local mental health trust. | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
42-year-old Neil Jewell from Norwich | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
died from a heart attack at a psychiatric intensive care unit | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
It's been revealed that the East Anglian Air Ambulance Which is based | :10:08. | :10:15. | |
in Norwich and often has Prince William as the pilot | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
came within half a second of a mid-air crash with a drone. | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
This is the East Anglian air ambulance. | :10:21. | :10:29. | |
A few months ago it faced its first near miss with a drone. | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
On board were two pilots and three paramedics. | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
Prince William, who's been a pilot for the charity for | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
All our staff are really important to us. | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
We've got some incredibly highly trained pilots. | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
We've got some of the best doctors and | :10:45. | :10:46. | |
paramedics that you can find anywhere. | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
But if there were an incident where a drone hit one of | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
our aircraft, it could cause serious damage and it could cause | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
potentially loss of life and of course | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
The near miss happened at 1900 feet over the skies of London. | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
It had just airlifted an injured boy from Basildon to hospital. | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
The drone was half a second from impact. | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
It was so close that the paramedic sitting in the seat could see it out | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
It had four blades, it was dark in colour and it had two lights, | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
and it was too small to be picked up by radar but large enough | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
The pilot assessed the risk of collision as high. | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
You're looking at a drone that probably weighs five or six kilos. | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
If that did hit the front of the aircraft there | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
is a good chance it would go through the Perspex. | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
That sort of weight coming at you at 120, | :11:34. | :11:35. | |
130 knots, which is 150 miles an hour, in a worst case it would | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
actually seriously injure or possibly kill somebody on the front | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
This drone footage was filmed by a professional operator. | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
He says a lot of the regulations are just common sense. | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
It's busy airspace, it was near a heliport, | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
so they really shouldn't be flying near there at that height. | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
They should be further than 50 metres from people and property | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
The operator of the drone which nearly | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
crashed into the air ambulance has never been caught. | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
The Civil Aviation Authority says anyone | :12:09. | :12:10. | |
flouting the rules could face up to five years in prison. | :12:11. | :12:25. | |

And from the margins to the mainstream - | :12:29. | :12:31. | |

Imagine being told your son has a disease that affects only five | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
people in the world, then being told there | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
is nothing more doctors can do to save his life. | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
That's what happened to one family from Norfolk. | :12:50. | :12:51. | |
Callie Blackwell has now written a book about their ordeal, | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
and admitted she even turned to cannabis oil to try | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
Amazingly, Deryn - who's now 17 - is now well. | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
In a minute, we'll speak to him and Callie, after this | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
This was Deryn in 2013. Diagnosed with leukaemia and a rare cell | :13:06. | :13:23. | |
cancer. Admitted to an end of life hospice, even planned his own | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
funeral. We were going to get the ashes and put some of it in a | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
firework, some of it in a Canon, and the rest would be chucked off a | :13:35. | :13:43. | |
mountain in Greece. After chemotherapy and bone marrow | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
transplants he was given days to live. His mother turned to something | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
in secret, cannabis oil to ease his pain. But something happened. His | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
condition improved and his sores healed. One professor thinks more | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
research is needed. Our own research suggests you can get the opposite | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
effects if you are not careful. So self-medication is quite risky and I | :14:07. | :14:14. | |
don't advocate it. Cannabis is a class B drug. Possession can mean | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
five years in prison. The Conservative Government argues it | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
damages mental and physical health. At 28 states in America have | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
legalised it for medical use, and in Europe so have Germany, Italy, the | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
Netherlands and Spain. It is an ingredient in a medicine for MS, | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
made by a pharmaceutical company in Cambridge. There have been instances | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
of scammers selling people fake preparations that don't contain any | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
active ingredients whatsoever. Sometimes it doesn't even show up or | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
even worse you could be buying something containing something | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
harmful could poison you. Now Deryn has recovered his mother has written | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
a book. She has chosen to be open, as she wants answers. | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
I'm thrilled to say that Deryn is here, looking very well. How are | :15:08. | :15:17. | |
you? I'm very well. It's an incredible position to be and now | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
after all you have been through, to see Deryn like this. Can you believe | :15:22. | :15:29. | |
it? Sometimes. It feels incredibly surreal, if I'm honest. We had 70 | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
times over the years where we were promised he was getting better and | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
then he would deteriorate further than we could believe he would. It | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
was a roller-coaster ride. I'm starting to believe this actually | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
could be for some time now rather than could go wrong at any moment. | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
But the threat of cancer returning is still at the back of my mind. But | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
for the time being he is as well as I have seen him for a very long | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
time. Fantastic. And you've talked about this decision to give him | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
cannabis oil, which I know was an agonising one for you. What were you | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
so worried about yourself? Obviously, the implications, I knew | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
I was looking at five years, he was looking at five years for taking it | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
and me a longer one forgiving it to him. I was terrified that social | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
services would get involved. I have younger son as well so I was worried | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
they would turn up and take him away from me. So not only was I scared of | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
losing my son to the failed transplants and all of these | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
infections, I was afraid I would lose all my children to the | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
authorities. But at the stage he took it it was palliative at that | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
point. You thought he was dying. Everybody thought he was. You don't | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
go to a hospice for a holiday. The consensus was he was dying. I had | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
filled in all the do not resuscitate forms. Every ounce of care other | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
than palliative had been taken away. We were waiting for him to die. The | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
doctors said it was a case of wait and see. And now we have to make the | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
point that none of it is proven, but you want to start a debate. | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
Absolutely. A debate and research into this will stop it had an effect | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
on him and it could have an effect on others. That is all I want to | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
see. This needs to come out, talks and discussions need to be had, and | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
we need to be serious about this. Meanwhile, Deryn, you want to be a | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
very good chef. Yes, I do. It's ironic, really. But yes. And you are | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
looking to the future with great optimism. It's wonderful to have you | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
both here. Thank you both for telling us your story. Come in and | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
do some food for us! In football, manager Phil Brown | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
celebrated four years in charge of Southend United by beating | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
Wimbledon on Saturday. He described it as the perfect | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
anniversary present .. Which keeps them in | :18:06. | :18:07. | |
the play-off positions. He's now one of the country's | :18:08. | :18:09. | |
longest serving managers ... And he has Southend aiming for | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
a second promotion in three seasons. Tom Williams went to | :18:13. | :18:14. | |
see him at training. He's been in football 40 years, | :18:15. | :18:16. | |
the last four spent very Phill Brown's as passionate, | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
as energetic as ever, and once again his team's fighting | :18:20. | :18:27. | |
for promotion, which looked a long Having started the season | :18:28. | :18:29. | |
so poorly, and I mean that, it's been | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
probably the biggest challenge of my career | :18:34. | :18:34. | |
to turn it round, you know, when you're | :18:35. | :18:35. | |
in a relegation zone, you're in a Never at any one stage did he say | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
I was close to losing my job. And for a manager to stand | :18:40. | :18:47. | |
here and say that the chairman would support me that much | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
is a rarity in today's game. Brown's also managed Derby | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
and Preston but he made his name at Hull, guiding them to | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
the Premier League and keeping them Some saw him as a gamble, | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
he's proved to be an inspired Has the club made the progress you'd | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
have hoped for during If we got promotion twice | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
in four-year is and also play-offs on three occasions | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
and that's a recipe for success. There's something | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
happening, then I've been building a football club or trying | :19:21. | :19:21. | |
to build a football club with foundations and infrastructure in | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
the background, aided and abetted, more importantly, by a chairman | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
who's thinking the same way. He marked his fourth | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
anniversary with victory at Wimbledon - | :19:33. | :19:34. | |
Southend's third in a row. They're in the play-offs | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
with seven to play. He obviously feels very enthusiastic | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
about his team spirit, and he wants And that's one thing that we've | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
definitely got in abundance here. He is determined to get back up | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
into the high league is himself and, as a team and as individuals, | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
we need to go with that and we're We want to make sure that we get | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
this club back into the championship where we feel | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
as though it could be. The commercial deals come, | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
the better cars come, the better lifestyle comes, | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
more money, etc, etc. Of course it's an exciting time | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
but there is still, as I say, a lot Right now all the hard | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
work's paying off. He'll do his best to get | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
them up - his players Two reports now on two very | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
different art exhibitions. Graffiti at a venue in Suffolk | :20:22. | :20:31. | |
more usually associated with classical music, | :20:32. | :20:33. | |
and 300-year-old portraiture It's a new exhibition looking | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
at some of the most influential But we start with Wrest Park | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
near Bedford, where five portraits have returned home more than a 100 | :20:46. | :20:52. | |
years after they were sold. Moving is always stressful, | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
but ensuring the safe arrival of 300-year-old works of | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
art is an expert job. This company delivers fine art | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
around the country - hanging, The imposing gaze belongs to Henry, | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
first Duke of Kent, who inherited It was his vision | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
to lay out the formal gardens and carry out all sorts | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
of interesting features, woodland walks, waterways and canals, | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
and the wonderful baroque pavilion So this is him commemorating | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
the work that he had done to create the garden | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
and landscape that we see today. The canvases have hidden clues | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
to celebrate his horticultural work. The obelisk behind him, a statue | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
revealed next to his small son, his daughter delicately tending | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
a citrus tree. The house where Henry first Duke | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
of Kent made all those The stunning mock | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
French chateaux behind me was actually built | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
much later, in 1839. But Henry's gardens survived | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
and were added to throughout The portraits returned | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
to the library where they used Sold to a private collection 100 | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
years ago, they were inherited by former University Challenge host | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
Bamber Gascoigne and brought back by 150 hours spent on cleaning | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
this painting alone. He had an incredibly dirty dark | :22:17. | :22:25. | |
varnish - very, very brown. In fact, so brown that | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
you couldn't actually see his blue robe, | :22:32. | :22:33. | |
and we were able to remove those natural resin | :22:34. | :22:35. | |
varnish layers and then we revealed these amazing bright colours again, | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
and now he's back on the wall For the first time in | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
a century the public will be able to visit these | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
wonderful paintings. 40 years ago it would have been | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
dismissed as vandalism. Now, thanks to people | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
like Banksy, most people now An exhibition celebrating some | :23:02. | :23:03. | |

marginalised art form is being In the 1980s Errol Donald | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
was spray-painting walls in There was a sense that | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
what we were doing was purely negative and there was no sort | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
of positive connotations around Yes, there was an element | :23:36. | :23:37. | |
of criminality around it, because it was just totally foreign | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
to the British public. a public space was not | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
as familiar as it is now. But 34 years later, 35 years | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
later, it's a global From the margins to | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
the mainstream, the exhibition celebrates some of the most | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
influential graffiti artists of the It's a wonderful celebration | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
of the skills of artists that are continuing techniques | :24:03. | :24:12. | |
and traditions that have been handed down the generations, | :24:13. | :24:14. | |
and it's wonderful to explore these works | :24:15. | :24:16. | |
and For example, this work | :24:17. | :24:18. | |
here by the artist known as Shoe, who is celebrating the illuminated | :24:19. | :24:25. | |
manuscripts of a thousand years ago, but bringing it bang up-to-date | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
into a contemporary work of art. The exhibition, entitled | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
Masters Of Invention runs And if you thought graffiti | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
is something new, think again. This spray-painted | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
hand was created in a cave in Borneo, nearly | :24:43. | :24:44. | |
40,000 years ago. Now we had a beautiful weekend of | :24:45. | :25:02. | |
weather, didn't we? Is it going to carry on? It was a pretty bad start | :25:03. | :25:15. | |
the morning but as it went on we started to see the sunshine getting | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
to burning a lot of the cloud a wave. Things brightened up for most | :25:21. | :25:31. | |
of us. For most of us because a big difference between temperatures. | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
Over the last few hours a lot of the remaining characters cleared. But a | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
lot overnight night we will see a lot of it coming back and probably | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
some mist or fog reforming in places. Under clear skies it is | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
going to be a very chilly one. We are looking at close of maybe two or | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
three Celsius and with light winds that is low enough for frost in | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
places. Tomorrow this little feature is moving towards us. We start with | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
mist and fog in places but unlike today it should clear more readily | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
and then we should have a dry morning with some spells of | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
sunshine. By the afternoon wide we are expecting some showers. These | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
could be anywhere and they could be heavy and thundery as well. | :26:13. | :26:20. | |
Temperatures with highs of 18, but in the best of the sunshine we could | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
perhaps get to 20. That's well above the average ten or 11 we should be | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
seeing at this time of year. We'll finish the day with a scattering of | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
showers. That is Tuesday. On Wednesday the tail end of this front | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
gives us a cloudy start with maybe some patchy rain. But on the whole | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
it looks like a dry day but not quite as warm. Temperatures still | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
above average and it looks like the rate should stay away. Towards the | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
end of the week the weather influenced by this weather system | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
has some uncertainty but a cold front should pass through during | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
Friday. Thursday should be fine and dry with some spells sunshine most, | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
and again we could have temperatures possibly higher than these, up to | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
about 20. But as the cold front moves through Friday it will likely | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
introduce wet weather, but that should clear into the North Sea and | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
we should see brighter conditions behind it with some showers. That | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
sets us up for next weekend. Saturday with a good scattering of | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
showers, some possibly heavy or thundery. Sunday looking largely | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
fine and dry. That's pretty good isn't it. We'll | :27:34. | :27:41. | |
see you tomorrow night. Good night. | :27:42. | :27:46. |
