Welcome to South East Today. Tonight's top stories. | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
A week to improve services - the new Tunbridge Wells Hospital is | :00:10. | :00:20. | |
warned over the standard of patient care in Accident and Emergency. | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
We'll be speaking live to the area's MP, Greg Clark. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Sex offenders are being freed from Maidstone Prison without effective | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
treatment for their behaviour, says the Chief Inspector of Prisons. | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
Also in tonight's programme: Hundreds turn out for the funeral | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
of Canterbury musician Hugo Wenn, who drowned last month. | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
It's controversial, but what would the benefits be? We take a look at | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
the business case for Boris Island. And the Eastbourne man who took up | :00:47. | :00:57. | |
:00:57. | :01:00. | ||
painting in his retirement - in grand style. | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
Good evening. Kent's newest, state- of-the-art hospital isn't meeting | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
essential standards of patient care in its Accident and Emergency | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
department. That's the view of the independent regulator, the Care | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
Quality Commission. It carried out an unannounced inspection of the | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
Tunbridge Wells Hospital at Pembury and found patients left on trolleys | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
due to lack of beds and inadequate staffing levels. It's been told | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
that if it does not make immediate changes, it will face censure. | :01:25. | :01:33. | |
Katherine Downes reports. Margaret has to walk with the flame | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
now, she kept herself in a fall last November and was taken to | :01:38. | :01:47. | |
Pembrey for treatment. They took me into a at side room and I lay there, | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
still on the trolley, from 5 o'clock tea time until 3 o'clock in | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
the morning before they even put me into a bed. I was in terrible pain | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
but they did not give me a drink or anything to eat. Margaret was not | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
the only patient to suffer in the hospital. The care quality | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
commission inspectors in January found serious problems in accident | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
and emergency. We found people were waiting far too long for care. Some | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
needed to be Tricia and urgently and that was not the case. -- | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
treated urgently. They did not have sufficient staff to cope with the | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
numbers of people coming through their doors. Since that visit the | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
hospital say they have made immediate changes. We have been | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
working hard to enforce more nurses and doctors and help improve | :02:44. | :02:51. | |
patient care. Why was that not in place to start with? We had more | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
patience than we expected coming through the doors which has been a | :02:54. | :03:04. | |
:03:04. | :03:05. | ||
problem. We have to increase staff more than anticipated. Now more | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
staff are called in at busy times and patience are reviewed every two | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
are us to try to minimise the time they spend in accident and | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
emergency. The Trust have been told that if they do not act quickly | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
then action will be taken against them. | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
So what exactly is the Care Quality Commission? It's an independent | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
regulator set up to check whether hospitals, care homes and care | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
services are meeting government standards of quality and safety. | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
They make unannounced inspections and when standards aren't being met | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
they can issue fines, stop admissions and, in the worst cases, | :03:33. | :03:41. | |
suspend or cancel a care service's registration. At the Tunbridge | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
Wells Hospital in Pembury, inspectors found patients visiting | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
A and E had to wait "far too long for attention". They found the unit | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
appeared to be understaffed and were told doctors and nurses | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
"struggled on busy days" to treat patients properly. And on the day | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
inspectors visited, three ambulance crews were waiting in a corridor, | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
as there were no beds for their patients in the major injury unit. | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
What did patience there today think of the service go smack the service | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
is excellent, the ladies are very nice and service was brilliant. | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
think it has been fine, she is quite happy but just a bit bored | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
sitting there. I think the staff are good and helpful. No problem | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
with waiting times? It was efficient for stock --. We are | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
joined live now from Westminster by Greg Clark the Conservative MP for | :04:33. | :04:42. | |
Tunbridge Wells. This is a brand new hospital, what is your reaction | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
to the news that accident and emergency is failing to provide | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
adequate care? Well it is disappointing, we have one of the | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
finest hospitals in the country and we need the best organisation in | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
the country. It is not acceptable that people should be kept waiting | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
even for four hours, which is the standard. But to be kept waiting | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
longer than that if you are in pain is not good enough. This programme | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
first reported problems with staffing back in October so why has | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
it taken so long for anything to be done? That is a good question and | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
it goes beyond that because one of the problems over the years we have | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
had has been long waiting times in accident and emergency. And it is | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
disappointing that a problem that happened before has been imported | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
into the new hospital. I think the management needs to get a grip of | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
it and we need to have the standard of organisation that matches the | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
standard of facilities that we have. But does it come down to money | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
because the Trust said that it remained under cash pressures duty | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
-- due to the impact of additional costs. It is completely | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
unacceptable to keep people waiting in accident and emergency, people | :06:01. | :06:08. | |
in pain, in a state of anxiety and stress. If there's one thing a | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
hospital least to do it is to treat people who coming in an emergency | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
efficiently and well. So that is not acceptable. If the management | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
think they cannot afford to provide a decent standard of care they | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
should come and talk to me and fellow MPs and we will see the | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
health secretary to get to the bottom of that. They have not said | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
that to me so I can only assume it is a matter of organisation. Will | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
you be seeing their health secretary about this the Ismat | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
Ogilby visiting the management of the hospital. I spoke yesterday to | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
the chief-executive and he assured me that steps were in place and the | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
situation was much better than in January. He mentioned that people | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
would be a check every two hours but I think they should see someone | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
murdered retrained every hour if they are kept waiting to make sure | :07:00. | :07:08. | |
that they are not deteriorating and are being given some sustenance. | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
Because even for hours, I do not find that acceptable. It needs to | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
improve quickly. The care Equality Commission today said they would be | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
making further spot checks of the hospital in the near future for. | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
Maidstone Prison has been criticised for significant | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
shortcomings in the way it deals with sex offenders. The Chief | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
Inspector of Prisons says sex offenders are being released from | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
the jail without their behaviour being "effectively challenged." Our | :07:35. | :07:42. | |
Home Affairs Correspondent Colin Campbell has the story. | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
Maidstone prison is a specialist centre for sex offenders. The | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
report today reveals that owns an unacceptably limited number of | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
treatment places available to inmates here with around 100 | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
waiting to participate in treatment programmes. You're dealing with a | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
group that are very dangerous and hard to deal with. But the very | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
fact that they're not going through that programme and are being | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
released on the street, that concerns me greatly because part of | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
that programme is risk assessment, whether they're line will to | :08:17. | :08:24. | |
reoffend. -- liable. The Chief Inspector of Prisons said in his | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
report that too many prisoners were being released back into the | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
community without their behaviour been effectively Challenge. He said | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
or wrote sex offender programmes are not a panacea The Doog at least | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
reduce the risk that an individual will reoffend and this shortage was | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
as significant concern for stock it is extremely disappointing to hear | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
this because these courses are the first point of contact in actually | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
challenging the sex offender's thought patterns and behaviour. Dr | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
Clare was brutally raped in 2007, her attacker had been released from | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
prison the day before and had taken part into treatment programmes | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
whilst in jail. I think other programmes which to Challenge their | :09:08. | :09:15. | |
behaviour or to be considered, such as those offered by mediation | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
services concerning restorative justice were the victim has the | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
chance to meet the offender. Housing almost 500 sex offenders, | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
officials say they plan to provide more treatment programmes at | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
Maidstone next year. Although criticised, the prison was also | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
praised for its innovative work with challenging the offenders will | :09:37. | :09:45. | |
stop -- with challenging offenders. Coming up, or why the Conservatives | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
and party -- and Labour Party could team up in Brighton to stop the | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
Green Party raising council tax. Hundreds of people have attended | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
the funeral of Hugo Wenn, the 17- year-old who drowned last month in | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
a pond in Canterbury. His was one of two bodies discovered in the | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
water. The police investigation is continuing. Today Hugo's parents | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
said their hearts were broken. Simon Jones reports. | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
So many wanted to say farewell that they spilled out of the Church. | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
Described by his parents as a boy he enjoyed every waking moment. | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
amazing person, you never saw him without a smile on his face. Just | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
an incredible person who influenced everyone. It breaks my heart. I | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
miss him a lot. He was a dear friend of mine and everyone is | :10:40. | :10:47. | |
going to miss him. I have been crying since 7 o'clock this morning. | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
The body if you go was found in his pond along with fellow musician | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
Daniel Lloyd. Two families left devastated. Our Hearts are broken | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
it and our lives have changed for ever. Memories of Hugo will remain | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
with us always. You go's parents made a point during the service of | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
venting the police for the way they handled the investigation into the | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
death of their son. An investigation that is very much on | :11:14. | :11:21. | |
going. Police are awaiting the results of toxicology tests. At 28 | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
year-old arrested on suspicion of supplying controlled drugs is on | :11:24. | :11:34. | |
:11:34. | :11:35. | ||
police bail. The funeral of Daniel Lloyd will take place on Saturday. | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
He was a well-known busker in Canterbury. A lot of the buskers | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
are going to put together a commemorative album to remember in | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
that way. A celebration of lives cut short. | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
An elderly woman has died in a house fire in Herstmonceux in East | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
Sussex. Firefighters were called to the lady's home around two o'clock | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
yesterday afternoon. She was rescued, but died at the scene in | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
West End. The cause of the fire is being investigated but is not | :12:02. | :12:12. | |
:12:12. | :12:12. | ||
thought to be suspicious. After months of wrangling, | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
councillors have been gathering in Brighton this evening for what's | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
turning out to be one of the most controversial budget meetings in | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
the south-east in years. They're about to decide whether Brighton | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
and Hove will be the only major council to increase tax this year. | :12:22. | :12:32. | |
:12:32. | :12:32. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 41 seconds | :12:32. | :13:13. | |
John Young is at the Town Hall now. other county council or unitary | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
authority in the south-east has decided to avoid raising council | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
tax by accepting �3 million from the government. Why don't the Green | :13:18. | :13:25. | |
party in Brighton and Hove want take up this offer? That is right, | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
many councils are expected to do just that. But the council here say | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
that it is a poisoned chalice. If you have 3 billion this year then | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
you will not have it next year and that will make for UN prudent | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
budgeting. But the Greens have the problem that they are a minority. | :13:45. | :13:54. | |
If the Tory and Labour parties gang up then it will not go through. | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
In the next 24 hours or so, Kent businessman Christopher Tappin will | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
be landing in Texas after failing in his efforts to avoid extradition. | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
He's accused by American prosecutors of conspiring to export | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
batteries for use in Iranian missiles. If he's found guilty he | :14:03. | :14:13. | |
:14:13. | :14:15. | ||
could spend up to 35 years in prison. Sara Smith reports. | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
Tonight could be Christopher's last night at home for a long time. | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
Talking to me last week he told me of his fears as his extradition | :14:23. | :14:30. | |
fight ended in failure. I'm 65 now into the fire was to serve 35 years | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
I would be 100 years old by the time I come back. They're not too | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
many people reach 100. You have to be philosophical about that kind of | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
thing. I may never come back to my own country again. A shipping agent | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
before retirement, he is accused of helping organise the import of | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
batteries to Holland. He said he thought they were for the car | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
industry. The American agents who set up a sting operation say he | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
knew this was their actual destination - Iran, where there | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
would be used for arms. He will now have to face the charges in an | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
American court. Tomorrow morning he is to report to the police station | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
at Heathrow and will be taken by US air marshals on a scheduled flight | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
to Texas. Once there he will go to prison until a bail hearing. It is | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
a process David Birmingham knows all about. He spent seven months in | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
an American prison after the collapse of Enron. One of the | :15:32. | :15:42. | |
:15:42. | :15:43. | ||
problems with the American justice system is it is enormously | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
difficult because there is disproportionate are deep in the | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
sentencing between a plea bargain and losing a child. Christopher | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
fought extradition through the British courts, now it is the Texan | :15:55. | :16:04. | |
courts which will decide his fate. I am joined by John cats, and | :16:04. | :16:10. | |
extradition lawyer based in America. Went Christopher reaches taxes he | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
will be held in custody. Is there any realistic possibility that he | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
will be bailed? Well the judge may say he has to stay in the western | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
district of taxes but we have GPS to raunchy to make sure he does not | :16:24. | :16:32. | |
clean. -- technology. That would be part of my apartment to the judge | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
to get their will. Well we heard in the report from David Birmingham | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
who has been through the extradition process himself. He | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
says most people are pressured into making a plea bargain rather than | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
spend years waiting for trial. Is that likely in this case can smack | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
there will be a police officer and efforts to see if he wants to make | :16:57. | :17:03. | |
a plea bargain. But he has took co- defendants who have already been | :17:03. | :17:09. | |
convicted and they did not get terrible sentences. I do not know | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
where he is in the playing field compared to them that that could be | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
used as leverage in the plea- bargaining process. One of the | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
defendants and think got two year sentence through a plea-bargain. | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
The other pleaded not guilty and got community service. And just to | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
put this in a wider context, there has been anger in his country about | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
the extradition rules to America, it is seen as one-sided. I don't | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
know if many people in America are following it, but I have been | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
following the story and think it is a manufactured situation, it was | :17:48. | :17:56. | |
all fake, prepared by the FBI. It is a waste of American resources | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
and financial resources and a waste of America has no good will with | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
the UK. A PE teacher has been jailed for 16 | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
months for sending sexually explicit texts and messages online | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
to two teenage girls. 29-year-old Joe Cornwall, who taught at Angley | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
School in Cranbrook, has also been banned for life from working with | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
children. Alex Beard joins us from outside the school now. Alex, the | :18:19. | :18:26. | |
judge was quite damning in sentencing. | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
Well he rejected the key to impose a community order or suspended | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
sentence because the judge believed that Joe Cornwall had unresolved | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
motivations for his sexual activity. Cornwall was a 29 year-old Peter | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
ejit who worked at the school in Cambrook. Into a dozen the 9th he | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
made Facebook messages and text messages with the 16 year-old girl. | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
Those messages became more and more explicit over time but he never | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
match that girl nor the other 16 year-old girl whom he shared text | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
messages with. He admitted three charges of causing Oran citing a | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
child to engage in sexual activity by a person in a position of Trust | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
over a period of 14 months. Today in court he was sentenced to 16 | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
months in jail, 10 years on the sex offenders' register and banned from | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
working with children for life. Our top story tonight: The newest | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
hospital in Kent has been given a week to improve care in its | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
accident and emergency department. An inspection of by the care | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
Equality Commission found breaches in the standards of patient care. | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
Also in tonight's programme: He only took up painting when he | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
retired, now he is working his way through all the greats. | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
And how long it will the warm spell last? | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
Local MPs met the Transport Secretary today to voice their | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
concerns over plans for a new airport in the South East. They | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
include an airport on the Isle of Grain, expansion of existing | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
airports, and a new airport in the Thames Estuary, dubbed Boris Island. | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
A feasibilty study for Boris Island says 540,000 extra flights will be | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
needed in the South East, even if more runways are added at Gatwick | :20:11. | :20:21. | |
and Heathrow. That equates to 70 million passenger journeys a year. | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
A new four runway hub airport could handle around 150 million | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
passengers a year. Last week we reported on the campaign against | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
the airport. Tonight, our Business Correspondent Mark Norman looks at | :20:31. | :20:39. | |
some the economic arguments in favour. | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
They are making industrial fibre glass prow that's at his factory in | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
Medway. They hoped to expand internationally and take on more | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
staff. So the directors to understand the environment will | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
sensitivities but they also understand the argument for a new | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
airport. If you look at the Thames Valley and how the infrastructure | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
has grown and how businesses have developed in that area because | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
there close to an international airport, and then you look at North | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
Kent, there is a case to be answered. And that view is echoed | :21:12. | :21:20. | |
by others in the business it -- the business community. There's huge | :21:20. | :21:28. | |
discussion over a third river crossing and also we need road, | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
rail and airport infrastructure. Feasibility studies have already | :21:32. | :21:41. | |
been done for the so-called Boris Ireland. Behind me some of the | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
large gas containers used by the National Grid on the Isle of Grain. | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
There's a lot of industrial activity already here but a lot of | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
the economic arguments about the new airport and the need for extra | :21:55. | :22:03. | |
runway capacity are arguments that had been made in London. To have a | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
new hub airport in the Thames estuary would be transformative of | :22:06. | :22:12. | |
the area. In the wake of the changes that would come about, | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
there would be more jobs, higher income per head and greater | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
opportunities for young people and future generations. It is those | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
perceived benefits that will have to be balanced against the | :22:23. | :22:33. | |
:22:33. | :22:40. | ||
environmental impact of the new airport. | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
For most people the idea of having a Van Gogh or a money hanging on | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
your walls would just be a pipe dream. But if you go to a certain | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
house in Eastbourne you could be forgiven for thinking you had | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
stumbled into an art gallery. All the work of one man, who only took | :22:59. | :23:07. | |
up art as a hobby after his retirement. | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
This picture sold earlier this month for �160 million. George | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
rig's coffee is not worth that much, but he took great pride in the sale | :23:17. | :23:27. | |
:23:27. | :23:29. | ||
of the original. -- copy. It was like winning the lottery! | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
George took up painting in retirement. He told himself and | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
found he had a particular talent for copying masterpieces. Do you | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
think you have improved on the original? Not really, Lowry was a | :23:44. | :23:50. | |
one-off painter. He could create a figure out of a couple of | :23:50. | :23:58. | |
brushstrokes. This is the birthday card someone sent me and I thought | :23:58. | :24:08. | |
:24:08. | :24:29. | ||
He has always been talented. When we first met he was doing Mickey | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
Mouse and goodness knows what. I think they are masterpieces. These | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
days ill health has slowed down his rate of production but George has | :24:42. | :24:51. | |
plans to copy another masterpiece buried soon. -- very soon. | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
Sports news, Lizzie Yarnold from Sevenoaks has been competing in the | :24:54. | :25:02. | |
Bob Skeleton World Championships in Lake Placid. The 23 year-old is | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
already junior world champion in her first year in the sport. After | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
today she is currently 4th in the standings. | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
Brighton and Hove Albion were held to a goalless draw last night by | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
Championship rivals Hull City. Hull, who kept a club-record sixth | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
straight league clean sheet, saw Cameron Stewart hit the bar. | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
Brighton, who lost 6-1 to Liverpool on Sunday, watched Craig Mackail- | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
Smith shoot straight at Vito Mannone. And another draw, this | :25:23. | :25:25. | |
time at Crawley. Scott Neilson's second-half equaliser helped | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
Crawley close the gap on the League Two promotion places to three | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
points with a draw against Morecambe. Crawley hit the bar | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
before Andrew Fleming's put the visitors ahead. Danny Carlton | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
missed a breakway chance to extend Morecambe's lead and was made to | :25:37. | :25:47. | |
:25:47. | :25:56. | ||
pay by Neilson's long-range drive. Recognise this? It's the sun! | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
T-shirts and ice creams in the park in Maidstone today. We've basked in | :25:59. | :26:09. | |
:26:09. | :26:12. | ||
temperatures we normally get in May. temperatures we normally get in May. | :26:12. | :26:19. | |
Is it going to last? Count that as a bit of a one-off. | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
Temperatures got up to 17 degrees across the South East today which | :26:24. | :26:30. | |
is not only what we get at the end of May but has also been the | :26:30. | :26:36. | |
warmest day for us since October 12th last year. But it has been the | :26:36. | :26:43. | |
warmest February date for 14 years. Tomorrow is not quite so warm but | :26:43. | :26:50. | |
still at around 15 or 16 degrees. The but around the coast it was not | :26:50. | :27:00. | |
:27:00. | :27:04. | ||
quite so warm, with that wind coming in off the sea. So you need | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
to get inland to enjoy the best of the temperatures tomorrow. But we | :27:09. | :27:16. | |
once again have to get rid of the cloud first. But that cloud tonight | :27:16. | :27:25. | |
will mean mild temperatures of the nine or 10 degrees overnight. But | :27:25. | :27:31. | |
this sun is getting its strength at this time of the year. But | :27:31. | :27:39. | |
temperatures just out a couple of degrees on today. Tomorrow evening, | :27:40. | :27:45. | |
we have the next cold front coming in, pulling things of a touch for | :27:45. | :27:52. | |
the weekend. And as we go to Saturday, a cloudy start and | :27:52. | :27:58. | |
hopefully brighten up for the afternoon. Sunday likely to be the | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
better date of the weekend but temperatures still above average | :28:01. | :28:08. |
