the BBC has revealed that parts of east Kent have lost more businesses | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
over the last two years than almost anywhere else in the country. | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
Shepway came third from bottom in the Experian research, with only | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
Hounslow and Knowsley in Liverpool faring worse. The South East as a | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
whole doesn't do much better. We came out bottom for export | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
potential. Second to bottom for Business Champions, that's | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
companies that have potential for high growth. And Dover is the only | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
local authority in the top 50 where the number of businesses has grown. | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
Our Business Correspondent Mark Norman reports. It has been | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
sluggish but the interest we have received is serious rather than a | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
lot of people considering their options, they are more focused on | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
what they want to do. That reflects the fact the research also says | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
Shepway, along with Dave -- Dover and Wilder are in the top five | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
authorities for business start-ups. I have ice-cream which is local | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
made... The around 10% growth in a couple of years. I have always been | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
in a full-time job earning an income that way. I thought why not | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
try to do something different and a bit extra on the side? Do something | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
for myself instead of other people for a change. The research also | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
looked at where growth might come from. What is interesting for the | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
region is it has a high volume in absolute terms of war we referred | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
to as business growth champions, smaller, younger companies with | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
entrepreneurial directors. Companies like this in Brighton, | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
they'd print adverts on almost every bus ticket issued in the UK. | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
This is all we are looking to in the future, to invest in the | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
company so we can Grove, expand, but there is an element of heads | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
down, we have to get on with the job in hand. Growth and developing | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
companies will be key element of the Budget this week delivered by | :03:26. | :03:34. | |
the Chancellor this Wednesday. Later tonight there is a special | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
programme on that our economy hosted by Natalie Graham he joins | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
us from Brighton. It looks like you will be a lively programme. It is. | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
When you get the big political play is in the region and asked them how | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
best to encourage economic growth, we have members of the government, | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
representatives from local councils, businessmen and women from Kent and | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
Sussex and also some of those directly affected by unemployment. | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
One of a more provocative guests is Katy Hopkins, you may remember she | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
was one of Alan Sugar's prospective apprentices a few years back. She | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
argues we should be concrete in over the countryside. 12% of | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
businesses say they are looking for new premises, cannot get hold of | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
them, and they would employ 2004 people if they could. It is all | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
very well to love the countryside and landscape, but the view has | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
changed, the economy is not as it was, we need growth and it is time | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
to change the way we think about the countryside and focus on jobs. | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
You can imagine how the agreement - - the Green MP got on with Katie, | :04:40. | :04:44. | |

11:05pm tonight. A Kent teacher who put his German neighbour through "a | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
living hell" blasting out war tunes and performing Nazi salutes has | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
been found guilty of racially aggravated harassment. Geoffrey | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
Butler, from Lower Upnor, subjected Reinhardt Wendt and his wife | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
Catherine to four years of misery by loudly playing and whistling | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
Rule Brittania and the Dambusters Theme. Simon Jones is in Chatham. | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
Mr Butler's campaign against his German neighbours was more than | :05:36. | :05:39. | |

loud that the neighbours could not hear the television. It stemmed | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
from a minor dispute over a bit of land but rapidly spiralled out of | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
control. His neighbours say he has been a nightmare, comparing the | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
experience to water torture. cannot move freely around your | :05:57. | :06:07. | |

verbally, or with cameras. It is very difficult living like that. | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
has been hell. It has been really awful, difficult living there, | :06:19. | :06:27. | |
having nightmares, not sleeping. We have just been sold step. The case | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
only came to an end in the last hour or so, what sentence was he | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
given -- so upset. He has been given any restraining order me | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
cannot play loud music, or recordings of speeches, or display | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
threatening behaviour. But his victims said they did not want him | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
to go to jail, they are not after revenge, they just wanted to be | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
able to live a normal life. He was given a conditional discharge | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
meaning he cannot make any further offence over the next three years. | :06:56. | :07:03. | |

The exact street by street route of the 2012 Olympic Torch relay | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
through the South East has been announced today together with the | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
hundreds of people carrying it. The flame arrives here on the July 16th | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
with an overnight stop in Brighton, it will then travel through Sussex | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
and on to Kent and Surrey passing through more than 50 towns and | :07:32. | :07:39. | |
villages over the next four days. Neil Bell joins us from Crowborough. | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
Back in 1948 the torch was carried by fit young men recruited from | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
local athletics clubs. This summer there will be some very special | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
torch bearers. Emma Williams will carry the torch as it passes | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
through Gillingham. Then a set up a charity to help people like her son, | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
Matthew, who has a rare form of epilepsy and was nominated by | :08:00. | :08:08. | |

that day. Eddie Kidd will be a torch-bearer in Lewes. He was | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
famous for daredevil stunt riding and jumping before a serious | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
accident in 1986. Last the he amazed everyone by completing the | :08:31. | :08:41. | |

jumping the Great Wall of China. Mel will carry the torch in | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
Maidstone. It should not trouble him as he has competed over 80 | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
marathons for charity but is thrilled by the prospect -- | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
completed. It is wonderful, chuffed to bits to be nominated. Very | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
pleased. I think the day will be fantastic for Maidstone and the | :09:08. | :09:16. | |
I am grateful to have the opportunity. In the space of five | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
days the torch will pass through Brighton to the rural villages of | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
Kent on its way to the biggest show on earth. It is the most iconic | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
symbol of the Games and the delivery of the Olympic flame to | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
the host city has become one of the most important traditions of the | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
Olympic movement. We can go live to Crowborough. It will actually go | :09:38. | :09:46. | |
through there, won't it? Absolutely. We know exactly when, back in | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
November we had a rough idea but now we know it will come here on | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
17th July. It will enter Crowborough at 12:00pm, leave at | :09:54. | :10:02. | |
2pm, and come here at about 12:20pm. You can find out the exact route on | :10:02. | :10:11. | |
Some of the statistics that have come out so just over 50% of people | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
say they will actively get involved when the torch relight comes to | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
their location. It will be busy round here about that time. Thank | :10:19. | :10:29. | |

its priests and parishioners to be vigilant about any allegation of | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
child abuse. In a letter, the acting Bishop of Chichester Mark | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
Horsham says every effort is being taken to "root out anyone who is | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
guilty of sexual offences". The letter follows the arrest of two | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
Sussex clergymen for alleged sexual offences against children. A man | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
has been taken to hospital with facial injuries after an attack on | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
Brighton seafront. He was walking with friends on the early hours of | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
Saturday morning when a bottle was thrown in his face after an | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
argument. A 19 year-old man from Brighton was arrested on suspicion | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
of GBH. The jury in the trial of a convicted sex attacker accused of | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
raping a woman two decades ago have heard closing arguments. Antoni | :11:21. | :11:28. | |
Imiela denies rape, indecent assault and another sexual offence. | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
Although we've seen heavy showers over the weekend, the reality is | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
they'll have made little difference to the many ponds and streams that | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
have all but dried up over the last 18 months. | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
Wildlife experts are now warning that many animals and insects are | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
at risk as a result, especially creatures like frogs and newts. Roz | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
Upton has tonights special report. Walking across the dried-out bed of | :11:49. | :11:53. | |

toll. A very water loving plants here, you would expect there needs | :12:00. | :12:03. | |

low it will be in trouble. south-east as had below average | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
rainfall for 10 of the past 17 months. Standing by this pond I | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
would normally expect the water to be above my knees but it feels more | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
like a Bobby puddle. There are several nudes in this deep hollow, | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
they will be spawning soon under the Pont tries out more the | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
offspring could die. A continuing dry spell is forecast and experts | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
warn many more species will be affected towards summer. It will | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
have an impact on all the animals that are dependent on the streams. | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
It could be mammals that come to drink there, frogs, insects, the | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
dragonflies, the butterflies that are so much part of our countryside. | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
There are foxes that commanded the frogs, they will find less to be | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
there, they will get hungry, they will look elsewhere and expect | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
there will be fewer cubs next summer. The burrows of water voles | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
are exposed to predators like stones when streams are dry. The | :13:02. | :13:06. | |

are worried in terms of the impact, we had never seen flows like this | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
at this time of year so we will see changes now when the populations of | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
certain invertebrates which will have an impact on the overall | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
environment of the river. So it is not just a major issue for humans, | :13:28. | :13:35. | |
but for wildlife. In Dover the water is very low. Conservation | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
groups have warned the cumulative effect of dry conditions will be a | :13:38. | :13:46. | |

Research for the BBC has revealed parts of East Kent have lost more | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
businesses in the last two years than almost anywhere else in the | :13:55. | :14:05. | |

country. Shepway came third. Also tonight, it's one tonne of | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
polished stainless steel wingle. We take a look at Hayes tinges latest | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
artwork. And the biggest haul of Roman coins | :14:16. | :14:25. | |
get cleaned up for public display. David Cameron has given the | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
strongest endorsement yet by his Government of the possibility of an | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
airport in the Thames Estuary. In a keynote speech setting out his | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
long-term vision tor British Transport infrastructure, the Prime | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
Minister said the coalition's aifyailgs yaigs strat fridge would | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
include pros and cons for a new airport. Mr Cameron said bold | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
thinking is needed to make sure the UK doesn't give up its status as a | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
global hub for air travel. For those opposed to a Thames | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
Estuary airport, today was a game- changer. For the first time in a | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
keynote speech, the Prime Minister said it was an option. Yes, this | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
will be controversial. We will need to take decisions for the long-term | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
and we'll bring forward options in our aviation strategy which will | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
include an examination of the pros and cons of a new airport in the | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
Thames Estuary. The Mayor of London had pre- iously described the so- | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
called Boris island proposal as bold. The Prime Minister today | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
exoed those sentiments which is why local politicss were worried. | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
does up the anti-y somewhat. We need to be saying very clearly that | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
there are alternatives. The estuary airport isn't the only option. | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
There are many other alternatives to find an increased level of the | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
passenger movement. That's why so many MPs and councillors have | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
written an open letter to a national new paper saying aircraft | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
using this airport would be 12 times more at risk than from bird | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
strike than any other airport in the UK. Great swathes of | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
countryside would have to be developed and there would be | :16:07. | :16:13. | |
dramatic effects on ex- isting airports. I only have one hub | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
airport. If you want to go with Boris and have an estuary airport, | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
you put under threat 170,000 jobs in the West London economy. It will | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
be devastating. Those who are desperate for regeneration in | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
Medway say an airport could provide an economic boost. There's no | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
public money around. Any regeneration has to come from the | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
private sector. This airport project, if it's ever built, is | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
promising fantastic amounts of regeneration. The Prime Minister | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
talked about a new Victorian era of construction. Opponents say the | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
Victorians didn't care of the environment and an airport would | :16:55. | :17:05. | |

It stands more than six feet tall, weighs the best part of a tonne and | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
from today, is a distinctive new landmark on Hastings seafront. It | :17:18. | :17:27. | |
is a stainless steel sculpture of a huge wingle. Leigh Dyer was | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
commissioned to create it. Made from polished stainless steel, | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
the new addition to Hastings seafront is hard to miss. It is | :17:38. | :17:45. | |
very appropriate. Yes. Very attractive. It's time they had a | :17:45. | :17:53. | |
new winkle. I think it's more or less like a trademark. It is very | :17:53. | :18:00. | |
good. Very in keeping with the old town. It took local sculptor, Leigh | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
Dyer, more than a year to build. With the final touches being made | :18:03. | :18:10. | |
over the weekend. I wanted to capture various bits and pieces | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
that you'd find all over Hastings beach. The obvious thing is the | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
winkle shell. Part of the club. All around the base, there are various | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
bits of equipment they would use. Net needles, floats, rope. This | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
item here is called a fid. They'd use it to open up the ropes when | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
making particular kinds of knots. The piece was commissioned by | :18:37. | :18:43. | |
historic charity the Hastings Winkle Club which helps | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
underprivileged people in East Sussex. Lee wants to come up with a | :18:48. | :18:55. | |
few surprises. When a coin gets put through the slot in there, let's do | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
that shall we. Just rings that bell to encourage kids to give a little | :19:00. | :19:07. | |
bit more. Encouragement to put coins in. For a local sculpture, | :19:07. | :19:17. | |
Leigh wanted to reflect the local marine life. Here we have a halibut, | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
and Skol ops. I can't wait to see it. With these older sculptures, | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
Leigh Dyer has already made his mark in the old town. He wants his | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
new stainless steel wingle to be there for generations to enjoy. | :19:32. | :19:40. | |
Of course they are a rye-based Skol ops. Charlie joins us from Hastings. | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
Leigh Dyer's already got plans for another sculpture? That's right. | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
Leigh was paid around �8,000 for the sculpture. When you think it | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
took him a year and two months to build and you take into account of | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
the cost of tools and materials, did the not -- it is not a fortune. | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
He has to earn a living. His next commission is down the road in | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
Bexhill, due to start in the next few weeks. It is a sheltered | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
seating area in the shape of a dinosaur. Whether it will be as | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
spectacular as the Hastings Winkle, we'll have to wait and see. | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
We will, indeed. Hard to beat a goat wingle. | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
A haul of Roman coins found in Sussex will go on display in | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
Brighton. The collection is worth �40,000. | :20:34. | :20:42. | |
28 95 koips were recovered in total. They are dated between 1 50 and 2 | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
68AD. We've been to see the collection, believed to be the | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
biggest ever found in Sussex. Tim Simmons discovered countless | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
rusty nails and coins over the years before unearthing a hidden | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
piste of history. When the coins came out of the ground they were | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
completely covered in clay. You don't find 3,000 Roman coins very | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
often. It may never happen to me again. You do find lots of things | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
of real interest. In this case, real value. The horde was worth | :21:16. | :21:22. | |
just over �40,000. The job of cataloguing them all faulgs to the | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
British Museum. -- falls to the British Museum. This is the biggest | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
haul found for the last 75 years. It is really quite special. Some | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
extremery rare indeed. We have only the second known example of a coin | :21:37. | :21:46. | |
of this imperial lady called sarbinia. That coin, along with | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
another, are so rare, they are worth �10,000 for the pair. The | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
cash value will be split between Tim and the landowner where the | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
horde was found. It is an agriculture area, you expect to | :22:00. | :22:07. | |
find rusty nails. To uncover what became 3,000 Roman coins from the | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
third century, wonderful stuff. Despite his big find, Tim isn't | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
hanging up metal deter yet. He believes out there is a stash of | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
treasure from the Battle of Hastings. If we could find that | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
trench, there would be pressure beyond imagination. It is here | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
somewhere. If you're not lucky enough to uncover your own horde, | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
you can see this when it goes on display at the Brighton pafilian | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
museum later this year. In the summerle | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
Now football. It was a mixed weekend for the South East clubs. | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
Brighton endured the long journey to Blackpool but saw their team | :22:46. | :22:56. | |
:22:56. | :22:58. | ||
defeated. Joe Mattock put theal bon -- the Albion in front. | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
Charlton started and finish their game nine points clear. They took | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
the lead through Bradley Wright- Phillips. Thompson gifted the Irons | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
a penalty. Crawley Town had to come from | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
behind against Port Vale. A brace from Gary Alexander, including the | :23:18. | :23:27. | |
winner, gave the Red Devils their first win. | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
This fantastic lob was from Jordan Obita mean the Gills are The civil | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
servant who blew the whistle on immigration faces the sack. And the | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
man provine to be dynamite at restoration. -- just one point off | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
the play-off places. I undertook a bit of a sporting | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
challenge over the weekend. I completed a Sport Relief triathlon | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
challenge across Sussex and Kent. He says triathlon. He only swam | :23:53. | :24:00. | |
around Brighton Pier about three- quarter of a mile. Then claims he | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
cycled 100 miles. Then finished with a ten-mile run. Could it be | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
true? It is 8.00, time to get going. It is a lot rougher than we | :24:11. | :24:21. | |
:24:21. | :24:54. | ||
Essential training athletic food. Cup of tea, two sugars. | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
And then he got back in the car! How are the legs? | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
Surprisingly, not too bad. I'm feeling all right today. I have | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
picked up something of an injury which was yesterday when I put the | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
recycling out and by back went a bit! | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
I hope you made the miss us a cup of tea for Mother's Day? | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
It was a fantastic thing to do. Loads of people came out to say | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
hello. There were lots of people at the Turner contemporary to give me | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
a round of applause at the end. If you want to donate to Sport Relief | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
this year which helps charities in the UK and some of the world's | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
poorest countries go to sportrelief.com and follow the | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
instructions on the screen. On Friday's programme, as the | :25:37. | :25:44. | |
sports relief waebgd gets underway, you can see all my pain and anguish | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
in technicolour. Looking forward to that. | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
It did rain this weekend. But no sign of any more rain at the | :25:52. | :25:58. | |
moment? As is sometimes the way. The week is looking settled. Today | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
a chilly start. Mild through the afternoon. We'll hold on to this | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
mild air. A bit more cloud around tomorrow. The sunshine should be | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
back by Wednesday and Thursday. A little cloudy by Friday. | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
Temperatures still in the mid-teens. The reason for that, high pressure | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
building from the south-west. A bit of fair weather cloud bubbling up | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
into the afternoon. Decent spells of sunshine. Temperatures up to 13 | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
Celsius. In the best of that sunshine feeling pleasant. Through | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
tonight, holding on to clearer skies. Temperatures touching | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
freezing. Cloud thickening from the west. By dawn, temperatures more | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
like 2 and 3 Celsius. A touch of frost. Not as chilly as last night. | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
Tomorrow, a dull start. High pressure's in control. Light | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
westerly winds. Temperatures in double figures. A shade down on | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
today. Highs of 11 or 12 Celsius. Overnight into Wednesday, staying | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
cloudy and settled. A very mild night. Temperatures dropping to | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
lows of 6 or 7 Celsius. Noticeably milder than tonight. For Wednesday, | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
a dull start to the day. Very mild. It brightens up into the afternoon. | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
Temperatures up towards London as high as 14 or 15 Celsius A pleasant | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
feeling day. A very similar story for Thursday. This area of high | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
pressure giving us settled weather pulls north-eastwards. For Friday a | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
little more cloud around. Today was bright and setted. Tomorrow will be | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
a duller picture. Still temperatures 11 or 12 Celsius. The | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
sunshine is back for Wednesday. Thursday duller. Friday, | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
temperatures still mild for the time of year. | :27:36. | :27:41. |
