Welcome to South East Today. Tonight's top stories: Producing | :00:03. | :00:05. | |
just a third of their potential during the coldest December on | :00:05. | :00:10. | |
record - are the windfarms paying their way? | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
Two teenage girls are attacked in Chatham, four men are arrested on | :00:13. | :00:22. | |
suspicion of rape. It is a terrible. Not a nice. | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
Especially walking down at lunchtime. You think, coming past | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
this bit, you wonder if it is safe. Also in tonight's programme : | :00:32. | :00:35. | |

Wood tonight. We are live backstage Good evening. Kent's two offshore | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
wind farms only generated around one third of their total capacity | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
during the coldest December on record, when demand was at a peak. | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
As the world's largest offshore wind farm, Thanet has a total | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
generating capacity of 300 megawatts, enough to power over | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
54,000 homes for a year. Yet in December, production dipped to | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
34.7%. Similarly, the Kentish Flats Offshore Wind Farm, off Whitstable, | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
generated just 34 per cent of its total capacity. Critics say the | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
technology is hugely expensive, but not delivering reliable results. | :01:43. | :01:53. | |
:01:53. | :01:56. | ||
Our environment correspondent has December 2010, snow blanketed the | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
south-east, a big freeze had set in. The price of heating all rocketed | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
and electricity demand rose. As it did so, the wind fell away, it blew | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
harder here than in other parts but even in this prime location, wind | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
power fell. We had extended cold weather, a high pressure systems | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
which, anybody who follows the weather charts no, brings low | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
speeds. Several days, sometimes weeks. In December, the use of coal | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
and gas rose, the fossil fuels so damaging to the environment. Apart | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
from it being warmer, The conditions of December on mimic to | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
today. High pressure, a little wind and no pressure. We pay an extra | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
�44 a year to subsidise renewables. It is good business for the wind | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
farm owners. They will get �780 million back within 10 years. | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
Government figures reveal in act 2010 wind speeds were at their | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
lowest this century and some say the wind patterns are changing. | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
Those in favour are not put off and say it wind is not alone in | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
operating below its maximum potential. No electricity source | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
uses 100% capacity. Last year the average capacity use for all forms | :03:25. | :03:33. | |
of electricity in 2009 was 44%. That is the reality. To meet | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
targets, thousands more wind turbines are planned for the seas | :03:38. | :03:45. | |
over nine years. Some are concerned. Target driven policy, exposes | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
consumers to high costs and may not work well. Even if successful. | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
Ramsgate people have mixed feelings. I think I am happy to subsidise it | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
a little bit, it is not an ideal situation but with any luck they | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
will be more wind next time. long will it take to equal out the | :04:08. | :04:18. | |
energy wasted developing those? I wonder if it is a tick in a box. | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
The wind was back and the power, too. The owners say it together | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
they are expected to generate enough power for 261,000 homes a | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
year. Government says by having a diverse energy makes it can manage | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
the fact some technologies are intermittent. | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
Four men in their twenties have been arrested on suspicion of rape | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
after reports of a serious assault on two teenage girls in Chatham | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
early this morning. A section of Dock Road, by St Mary's Church, was | :04:49. | :04:59. | |
:04:59. | :04:59. | ||
cordoned off to allow crime scene investigators to examine the area. | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
The church in the town centre, in this area to friends say they were | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
sexually assaulted. Police say the women aged 18 claimed they were | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
attacks in the early hours of this morning, the news has caused | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
concern. It is a dangerous place. People have been attacked before | :05:17. | :05:25. | |
here. Yes. How long ago? A few years ago. It is dangerous. | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
Terrible. It is not nice. Especially walking down here at | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
lunchtime, you think, coming past this bit, you don't feel safe | :05:36. | :05:45. | |
sometimes. It is terrible. In a day and age with Sean's it -- CCTV | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
cameras and police presence, it is terrible. Detectives have spent the | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
day with the women to establish the full details. The exact location of | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
the attack is unclear but crime scene investigators cordoned off a | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
wide area this morning from the church at the top to the command | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
House pub by the river. They are linked by a walkway. Police say it | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
four men in their twenties have been arrested on suspicion of rape | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
and die in police custody. -- and are in police custody. In a | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
moment: The race against time to excavate a Roman villa on the edge | :06:22. | :06:30. | |
A merger of East and West Sussex fire services has moved a step | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
closer with the announcement of a public consultation into the plans. | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
It is estimated that merging the services could save around �4 | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
million in management, and back office costs over two years. | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
Feedback from a 12-week consultation will be presented at | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
meetings in December. If agreed, the merger would still go ahead | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
from March 2013. The authority says it is the most effective way to | :06:57. | :07:05. | |
protect the service from public spending cuts. It is to save money | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
mainly. We hope to have a more resilient fire service by joining | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
two authorities together but principally the main aim is to save | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
money because with government cuts rather than cut services if we can | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
cut the management side of things and keep the frontline services | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
intact or improve them, that is the aim. So how many workers could be | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
affected? East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service employs 850 staff, | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
with West Sussex employing more than 1,000. East Sussex has 24 fire | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
stations while West Sussex has 28, serving a total population of 1.5 | :07:37. | :07:47. | |
:07:47. | :07:49. | ||
million. But are people in Sussex comfortable with the idea? I know | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
the government have to make many cuts. I understand it is necessary. | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
But perhaps not when lives are involved. The quirks of being in | :08:03. | :08:11. | |
West Sussex and vice versa, I do not think it is good. The first | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
thing that comes to mind is there will be cuts and job cuts. It will | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
deteriorate. As long as it saves money, there is no problem, as long | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
as they stick to that. Our reporter is at Preston Circus | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
Fire Station in Brighton now. We heard views from the public but | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
what are people who are affected saying? | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
The Fire Brigades Union have been coy today, they have not issued a | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
statement at all. I went to the fire station hair earlier and spoke | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
to one man on shift with his colleagues and he said they are | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
comfortable. They think it is a good thing and believe the | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
management, it is about cutting back room rather than frontline and | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
it will provide a better service. This is about a public consultation | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
beginning officially on Thursday week when the roadshows and public | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
meetings begin and it lasts for 12 weeks. | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
Whether they get the go-ahead for a full merger or not, management of | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
both East and West Sussex services have told us they will be looking | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
to work more closely and share resources in the future in a bid to | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
save money. Six people have been arrested in | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
connection with the murder of a man in Sheerness. 24-year-old Lee | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
Marchington was attacked on June 11th, following a fight in a pub, | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
and died in hospital 11 days later. Officers are planning house-to- | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
house enquiries as part of their investigation. | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
A new compensation scheme for Southeastern season ticket holders | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
has come into force today. The delay-repay system allows commuters | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
to claim a refund for every journey that's delayed by 30 minutes or | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
more. It follows anger from passengers affected by severe | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
winter delays, who were not entitled to a payout because | :09:52. | :10:01. | |
Southeastern met its annual punctuality target by 0.4 %. | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
Army bomb disposal experts were called to Newhaven this afternoon, | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
after a World War Two shell was handed in to the local coastguard. | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
Sussex Police imposed an exclusion zone, and asked residents to stay | :10:10. | :10:18. | |
indoors so the shell could be disposed of safely. | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
It is an archaeological treasure trove that is unearthing valuable | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
information about our ancient history. But a team of experts and | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
local volunteers excavating the remains of a Roman villa in | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
Folkestone are facing a race against time. That is because the | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
villa's remains are perched precariously on the clifftops, and | :10:33. | :10:43. | |
rapidly crumbling into the sea as a The Romans were violent but they | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
did more for us than we can possibly imagine. Before 55 BC, | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
Britain was a collection of communities with no sense of | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
national unity. After their arrival the idea of Britishness was borne. | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
The gateway to our Island was probably first opened here in | :10:58. | :11:06. | |
Folkestone where the head of the Roman Fleet built his residence. | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
is a key to understanding relationships, trade relationships, | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
policy -- politics, culture between Britain and the Roman world. Before | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
Caesar was here in the first century BC and before that. | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
This weekend more than 300 volunteers will join the | :11:22. | :11:30. | |
archaeological dig. The first excavation took place in the 1920's. | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
This is an Iron Age stone, one of thousands manufactured in | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
Folkestone and traded across the south of the UK and across to | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
France, examples in museums in France. These were used for | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
grinding corn. Other volunteers have made important finds. | :11:52. | :12:02. | |
started at the beginning of last year. Within three days I had found | :12:02. | :12:09. | |
some Tupperware. -- some wares. The community is being encouraged to | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
take part in what could be a last chance to discover a piece of | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
history. 50 people turned up to take part, helping with washing the | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
finds and describing to visitors the history of the site and what it | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
is all about. There has been a tremendous response from the | :12:25. | :12:32. | |
community.. On the beach Dr Lesley Hardy sketches the floor plan of | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
the Roman Villa. It's a visual representation of time ebbing away | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
with every Storm, artefacts being lost to another winter, and secrets | :12:37. | :12:47. | |

story tonight: Kent's two off-shore windfarms only generated around a | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
third of their potential capacity during the coldest December on | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
record, when demand for electricity was at a peak. Critics say the | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
technology is hugely expensive, and not delivering reliable results. | :13:13. | :13:22. | |
However, green energy supporters say they're performing as predicted. | :13:22. | :13:30. | |
Also, art made from 9,500 cash till rolls. The sculptures on display in | :13:30. | :13:35. | |

associated with the rolling fields of Provence than the Garden of | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
England. But now lavender grown at Castle Farm near Sevenoaks is | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
attracting buyers from across the Channel. The farm has 55 acres | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
dedicated to lavender, making it the biggest grower in the country. | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
The first crop was planted there in 1998, and last year's harvest gave | :14:04. | :14:14. | |
the biggest yield yet of lavender oil. Ria Chatterjee reports. | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
While the honey bee carries out its job on the lavender, the purple | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
plant itself is proving to be a lucrative job for the owners of | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
Castle Farm. They have over half the million or lavender plants, it | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
has become a tourist attraction. try to give an insight into all | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
things lavender. Varieties, looking after the plants at home in the | :14:37. | :14:44. | |
garden and the oil operations and the uses of the oil, how I can be | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
used in food and perfume and toiletries and candles. There are | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
hundreds of different types of lavender, most are used in people's | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
gardens to look and smell nice. There are only a few varieties used | :14:57. | :15:04. | |
for oil, like the two crops hit, lavender and lavender in. The | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
author is used medicinally and the lavender oil has wide uses. In | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
Sevenoaks they hope the wow factor for customers will mean maximum | :15:13. | :15:20. | |
profits for the farm, a lavender massaged in a lavender field. | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
serene. It is an incredible experience. You know where the oils | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
come from, they are created here. It is made locally. It is all about | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
locality. And then, cooking, cakes and biscuits, jams and ice-cream. | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
And now even a culinary essence they have taken to a cookery school | :15:42. | :15:48. | |

flavour element which is designed so it will go into the taste buds | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
to get a real flavour of lavender coming through. Over the next few | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
weekends, the plants will take centre stage for the lavender | :16:02. | :16:05. | |

spikey landscape constructed from 9,500 cash till rolls we're talking | :16:22. | :16:29. | |
about modern art, of course. It's all on show as part of an | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
extraordinary exhibition of sculpture that opens tomorrow at | :16:31. | :16:41. | |

Eastbourne's Towner Gallery and Things are not what they appear to | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
be. Unless you know it takes quite a while before it dawns on you that | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
this is a landscape made of till rolls, thousands of them. Built by | :17:00. | :17:07. | |
a team of helpers who came in off the street. It has been phenomenal | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
working with the community of Eastbourne who have all come and | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
volunteered time throughout the last five days just to built this | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
place and without them it would not be here. It's been great. | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
Compulsive, obsessive and repetitive, that is what it is | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
called and it refers to how things are made rather than what they | :17:27. | :17:34. | |
becomes. What better way than to celebrate the Eastbourne towers and | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
forged his than with this Bastian made of sugar. What I love about | :17:39. | :17:46. | |
sugar is the sweetness and the sparkle which is magical. It's a | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
beautiful glistening quality, especially when the natural light | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
shines on the sculpture. One of the beauties of it is everything can be | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
on a big scale. These geometric shapes made out of everyday items. | :17:59. | :18:09. | |
:18:09. | :18:09. | ||
In this case, plastic bags. Oh yes, this is a stuffed rat suspended in | :18:09. | :18:19. | |

freefall. Over here, a massive wall which is made of salmon and trout | :18:21. | :18:29. | |
skin tiles. Did I imagine a vague a Roma? On close examination, you see | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
the individual elements and realise how the work was made and the | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
amount of labour that has gone into it. Can possibly made, compulsive | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
viewing and it is a free show which runs throughout the summer. -- | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
compulsively made. Extraordinary. I am not sure about | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
the dead rat. I like the sugar. It's every British athlete's dream | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
to compete at the Olympic Games in your own country. But for one Kent | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
volleyball player the journey to 2012 is proving far from easy. 21- | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
year-old Grace Carter and her team mates have had their funding cut | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
and are using their own ingenuity to ensure they're still able to | :19:08. | :19:17. | |
train. Neil Bell reports. You might not have paid much | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
attention to the Olympic volleyball final but the rest of the world's | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
did. Volleyball is the second highest event watched at the | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
Olympics but until recently it was virtually ignored in this country. | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
The British women's team have made huge strides recently despite | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
having a funding withdrawn. It was too much to give up so we took it | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
upon ourselves to take our destiny in our own hands and raised and get | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
as many people involved as possible to help us to achieve their dreams. | :19:49. | :19:57. | |
So far, we have had amazing support. It has almost been going to plan. | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
At a recent tournament big GB team beat Switzerland suggesting they | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
will be far from disgraced at the London Games. They are doing | :20:05. | :20:12. | |
everything they can to be as good as they can be at the Olympics. Two | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
of the teams in the Paul, we will be capable of beating. If we do and | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
perform in the Olympics will be through to the quarter-finals. Then, | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
one game, one game at home with 15,000 British fans cheering us on. | :20:29. | :20:35. | |
You have a chance of the semi- finals. I am an optimist. Grace | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
Carter's family will be cheering her on in London and few teams will | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
be more deserving of the support. Gillingham football club have | :20:44. | :20:51. | |
announced no fewer than six new signings this afternoon. They | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
include Chris Whelpdale, who's signed from Peterborough after an | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
impressive loan spell with the Gills last season and free-scoring | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
striker and Gills fan Danny Kedwell, who joins from Wimbledon. | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
The squad is looking great. I think we have younger ones stepping up to | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
the plate. Things are looking great. An exciting day. It is a lot of | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
hard work in the summer, we are delighted. | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
Some of the world's biggest pop and rock musicians are gathering in the | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
Kent countryside this weekend, along with tens of thousands of | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
fans. With a line-up including Morrissey, The Eagles and Prince, | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
the Hop Farm festival in Paddock Wood is set to join the likes of | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
Glastonbury and Reading as one the essential music dates of the | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
summertime. The first bands of the three-day event are already | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
performing and our reporter Sara Smith is backstage now. Sara, who's | :21:40. | :21:49. | |
on at the moment? You just missed Bryan Ferry and Brandon flowers but | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
coming up in half an hour is the axe thousands have come especially | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
to see, the Eagles. The festival is four years old and they have | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
incredibly big names over the weekend. | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
They have been gathering since yesterday morning and a few hours | :22:06. | :22:14. | |
ago the music began. They have aimed to make it family- | :22:14. | :22:24. | |
:22:24. | :22:33. | ||
The Eagles headline tonight, fresh from the royal wedding in Monaco. | :22:33. | :22:43. | |
:22:43. | :22:49. | ||
The something more home-grown -- Tomorrow night Morrissey heads the | :22:49. | :22:59. | |
:22:59. | :23:14. | ||
bill and on Sunday the reason the And supporting Prince on Sunday, | :23:14. | :23:24. | |
:23:24. | :23:25. | ||
Tinie Tempah. A mixture of people, a family crowd, kids. The Eagles | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
are in the 60s. 16 year olds to see Brandon flowers. Over the weekend | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
more than 60 bands will play on three stages. Some have come to see | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
a bit of everything, others have been tempted by one or two. | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
Eagles, mainly. We do not live too far away, half an hour. We saw they | :23:44. | :23:53. | |
were playing and we have never seen them before. The sunshine helps. | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
The weather and the people. It should not be too big. It is nice | :23:59. | :24:06. | |
and relaxed. By real a family atmosphere. We went to hard rock | :24:06. | :24:12. | |
and it was horrendous! This is year four of the festival and it is the | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
biggest yet. 10 cc plate -- played earlier. | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
Loads of other hits. I caught up with their founding member and | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
asked him if he enjoyed it. don't want to do obscure album | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
tracks or something you have just written. You want to do what people | :24:32. | :24:40. | |
want. I always think as a regular punter and what would I want to | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
hear? We give the people what they want. You are known for being a | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
song writers there is a difficult that you have to do old songs? | :24:49. | :24:59. | |
at all. People say how many times have you son that and do get fed up | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
with it but I may have signed a lot of times but for this audience I | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
have not Senate. It is fresh because I think how they are | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
listening to have. And we to be a festival goer if you're not | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
performing? I very rarely go to festivals but I suppose the fact | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
we're on the road so much, I am more of a concert goer then | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
festival goer. But still good fun to play. Tremendous, the greatest | :25:26. | :25:33. | |
thing to do. Thank you. The trick for the festival will be | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
getting the balance right between getting the huge names in and | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
keeping the intimate atmosphere everybody here seems to love. | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
It looks great fun. And the other advantage is there not knee-deep in | :25:46. | :25:56. | |
:25:56. | :25:58. | ||
mud. Will it stay away? Wait until you hear the forecast! Today's | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
weather is what we have for the next few days. We get the cloud | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
bubbling up in the middle of the day with highest temperatures. The | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
morning and evening around the coast with the coolest temperatures, | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
but is one we have the most sunshine. Over the weekend, we will | :26:16. | :26:26. | |
:26:26. | :26:26. | ||
find most of the cloud bubbling up, Evening, the clouds disappears and | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
a beautiful evening. Plenty of blue skies. For the next few hours, the | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
clear skies, little bits of patchy cloud but nothing to worry about. | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
Staying dry with temperatures down to 11 or 12. It is not cold but it | :26:44. | :26:51. | |
does call down when the sun sets. Through tomorrow, it starts with | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
plenty of sunshine but when we hit the magic of 15 degrees tomorrow | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
lots more cloud developing. It stays dry but in the middle of the | :27:01. | :27:08. | |
day some cloud. Temperatures up to 19 or 20. Higher than today. A | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
light wind so feeling pretty good. It is not a bad day. If you are | :27:13. | :27:19. | |
heading to the haymaking first will us at Canterbury, it is free to go | :27:19. | :27:28. | |
a long, -- haymaking festival. You can see how the horses cut the hay. | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
Many demonstrations going on and musicians. If you have an event on | :27:32. | :27:37. | |
Sunday, the weather is still looking fine. Saturday into Sunday | :27:37. | :27:42. | |
staying dry, patchy cloud. Temperatures again a little bit | :27:42. | :27:50. | |
higher. Highs of 22 or 23. A fine weekend, beyond that Monday and | :27:50. | :27:56. | |
Tuesday, nothing is changing. For the next four days, staying dry | :27:56. | :28:01. | |
with sunny spells and temperatures were they should be. I am glad it | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
is OK for the horses. Let's recap tonight's top stories. The former | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
head of the IMF, Dominique Strauss Kahn, has been released from house | :28:08. | :28:11. | |
arrest in New York after doubts emerged about the sexual assault | :28:11. | :28:19. | |
case against him. Andy Murray has lost his Wimbledon | :28:19. | :28:28. |
