on the BBC hit show. Good evening. Anders Breivik is the | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
anti-Islamic gunman who massacred 77 people in a horrific shooting | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
spree and bomb attack. Tonight, the Kent family of one of his victims | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
says that his actions have left him angry and devastated. Reverend Paul | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
Kirby, the senior chaplain at East Kent Hospitals, says the Norwegian | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
gunman who is on trial for mass murder including shooting dead his | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
nephew, is evil. Reverend Kirby says today's testimony proves how | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
misguided Anders Breivik is. Away from the drama of the | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
courtroom in Oslo, in Dover today, a quiet moment of contemplation for | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
Ben and -- Bendik Ellingsen, shot six times. The agony of waiting and | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
the uncertainty. Eventually we got the news, which we were dreading, | :02:02. | :02:12. | |
:02:12. | :02:14. | ||
that he was one of those shot in the cafe. So, it was a roller- | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
coaster of emotions. Bendik Ellingsen had a summer job at the | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
Government buildings targeted by Anders Breivik where eight people | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
were killed. His family initially thought he was fine as he was at | :02:26. | :02:33. | |
the time at an Ireland youth camp. That was the second target. -- an | :02:33. | :02:41. | |
island you can. TRANSLATION: I do not recognise this court. You have | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
your mandate from political parties supporting multiculturalism. | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
Breivik said his actions were based on goodness, not evil. When you see | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
the pictures, what do you make of it all? Icy a very, very misguided | :02:55. | :03:04. | |
man. And someone who, I think, is evil. Anders Breivik today called | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
his attack spectacular, saying he would do it again. Tonight, Paul | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
Kirby said he was not surprised by such language. Some families in | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
Oslo have left the court, finding the testimony to much. Bendik's | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
family decided not to attend. remember soon after the shooting, | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
saying to his father, I do fear -- how do you feel about Breivik? He | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
said, I feel absolutely nothing. They is that sense of numbness, | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
even now, as the country and individuals come to terms with what | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
has happened. Anders Breivik acknowledges the acts committed, | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
but does not accept criminal responsibility. | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
Kent Police dramatically called off the search for human remains in a | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
garden in Kent, less than 24 hours after it began. Police started | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
digging up the garden in Tunbridge Wells after a tip-off that a young | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
woman may have been buried there in the 1950s. This morning, the | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
forensic investigation team were pulled away from the scene without | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
finding anything. Colin Campbell is in Tunbridge Wells for us now. This | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
all came to an end very quickly. The police never really knew how | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
long the search was going to take. They did stop this morning at nine | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
o'clock. Nothing has been found, it was believed that a crime had | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
occurred. They say they have now been left with more questions than | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
answers. Other family members say it has been a waste of time and say | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
it has caused a great deal of upset for many people. | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
It was feared that a young female was buried here in the late 1950s | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
after a possible crime. After a detailed search, police revealed | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
this morning that they had found nothing. This is the area where | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
police concentrated their digging, as you can see, it is now a muddy | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
patch. In the 1950s, there was a pond here and police had to remove | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
all the earth covering it to look underneath. Relief for some family | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
members who used to live here. They plot their father was being | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
unfairly implicated. He would not hurt a fly. Absolute sheer | :05:16. | :05:26. | |
fabrication. My dad was my life, I loved him. Other members of the | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
same family appear to recall a girl called Llodra, mysteriously | :05:30. | :05:38. | |
disappearing one night. The police were contacted. It has left the | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
older members of the family to remember the terrible things that | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
happened that night. A whole bunch of new questions. If the girl is | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
not in the garden, but where is she? The is morning, the tenants of | :05:54. | :06:01. | |
number 48 returned home after being put up in a hotel. 50 years. They | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
could have been there but fortunately, they are not. They say | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
the investigation has let them traumatised. You find yourself | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
going through the absolute spectrum of emotions. There is not a high or | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
low, and anger, fear or worry, everything can you can imagine has | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
gone on, in my own head and my children's. To be told there is | :06:25. | :06:34. | |
nothing there,... It has opened up more emotions in a different aspect. | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
The police say they have concluded their investigation and insist they | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
acted incredible intelligence. They say they acted on information for a | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
number of people. They say they had only one option, to carry out a | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
search in the back garden. They say they did that as quickly as they | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
possibly could. With as little impact as possible. | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
Coming up. The Dean of Canterbury Cathedral joins the chorus of | :06:59. | :07:08. | |
disapproval against plans for a so- called heritage tax. | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
A Sussex woman who called her GP surgery for advice over the PIP | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
breast implants scandal says she will never set foot inside it again | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
after staff there accidentally left a string of insult on her answer | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
phone. Aimi Veness, who is from Cooden Beach, says she was shot | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
when she heard herself referred to as "an old dog". The former model | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
is now planning to transfer to another doctor. The surgery has | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
apologised. It was not what she expected to | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
here in an answerphone message from her doctor's surgery. She is a | :07:45. | :07:55. | |
:07:55. | :08:01. | ||
I got two minutes of people tackling, laughing and making fun | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
of someone. I thought, surely that is not me. I replayed it, it was | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
definitely me. A was absolutely shocked. I was really embarrassed | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
and upset. I did not to look at -- anyone about it. She called the | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
surgery when she became worried about her breast implants following | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
the recent PIP scare. After seeing her GP, she was left the message a | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
few days later. It was not until that evening when she had had a | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
couple of glasses of wine, she told us what had happened. I was shocked. | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
Aimi Veness says the answerphone message has put her off coming back | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
to her local doctor's surgery here. In a statement, NHS Sussex said it | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
had apologised to her for what it understood to be a very distressing | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
incident, and it was carrying out an investigation. The receptionist | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
or whoever you are, you have to do what people a little bit more | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
professionally. It is wrong, what they did. She is now looking to | :09:02. | :09:10. | |
transfer to a different surgery. A 14-year-old boy has been charged | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
with manslaughter after the death of a teenager in Sussex. Connor | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
Saunders was punched during an attack in Rottingdean on Saturday | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
night. He died later in hospital. A 14-year-old and 13-year-old | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
arrested and suspicion of murder have been bailed until next month. | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
An inquest into the death of -- of the Sea Cadet has heard how he | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
unclipped his harness to help another cadet. Jonathan Martin from | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
Shadoxhurst fell to his death from a training ship in the Solent tears | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
ago. He slipped while moving along the Reading -- the rigging of the | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
Royalist. A retired priest re-arrested by | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
Sussex Police yesterday on suspicion of sexual assaults on | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
young people has been arrested on bail -- released on bail until June. | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
Canon Gordon Rideout from Eastbourne is accused of carrying | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
out 13 sexual assaults during the late 1960s and 1970s in Sussex and | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
Hampshire. A second priest, Robert Coles, has been re-interviewed | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
about allegations that he sexually assaulted three young men in the | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
1970s and 1980s. Five years after the Dungeness A | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
atomic power station start generating electricity, the find a | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
flask of spent nuclear fuel has been moved from the side. Engineers | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
have been carrying out at decommissioning process and the | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
removal of the spent uranium is a significant milestone in cleaning | :10:32. | :10:41. | |
up the side. -- the site. Tactic in this giant steel cube, a | :10:41. | :10:51. | |
final load. More than 100 fuel rods are inside. They uranium which | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
powered his power station during the 1960s. Taking the fuel way | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
following the shut down in 2006 has been a major challenge. We shut | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
down over five years ago. In reality, more than 50% of the fuel | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
has come out in the past year. The shift Cruz, the management team | :11:08. | :11:17. | |
have turned around a record month- on-month. Tremendously proud of | :11:17. | :11:26. | |
everybody here. Another typical windswept day in Dungeness. Some of | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
these people have put their lives into this power station. A job well | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
done. Planned in the 50s, built in the | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
1960s, the aim was to provide cheap electricity by harnessing the atom | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
for peaceful purposes. Criticise and condemned as a fearful risk, | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
not wet taking by some. After those who spend their careers standing on | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
top of a nuclear reactor, and there is a striking sense of pride, | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
almost affection. When we were at full power, it was a fully | :11:59. | :12:06. | |
operational power station. It was a great place to be. Do I allow | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
handed over to someone else and they can knock it all down. It is | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
not quite as simple as that, the decommissioning process will go on | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
for years and so will jobs. But there is no doubt this is the end | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
of an Era. It is sort of my second home. My dad started working for | :12:26. | :12:35. | |
London Electricity Board, so once the London station close, he | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
relocated to Dungeness. When it reaches the end of the line at | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
Sellafield, 99% of the radioactive hazard fuel has been removed, saved | :12:44. | :12:52. | |
unsecure, but still controversial. -- safe and secure. | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
Dungeness A started generating power in 1965 and the plant was | :12:57. | :13:04. | |
retired in 2006. At his final closure in five years' time, it | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
will mean the loss of around 400 highly-skilled jobs and that, says | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
the local council, will have a significant negative impact on the | :13:12. | :13:22. | |
:13:22. | :13:31. | ||
Here, it is a bigger problem than it does for for Pfizer in east Kent, | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
we could get to a situation are reduced our people were retired | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
down here, and not young people and a mixed economy. Meanwhile, the | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
neighbouring Dungeness B nuclear power plant continues - capable of | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
supplying power for over 1.5 million homes. However, that is | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
also scheduled to be decommissioned in 2018. Together, the plants | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
account for 8% of all employment in the Romney Marsh area. Our reporter | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
Peter Whittlesea is in Dungeness for us now. Peter, the impact on | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
the area is being described in some quarters as "worse than Pfizer" in | :13:59. | :14:06. | |
East Kent. The reason people are saying that as that once these | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
power plants are shut down the jobs will be gone for good and it is | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
unlikely anything will be built instead because this is an area of | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
special scientific interest. Local residents say that there is nothing | :14:19. | :14:26. | |
to attract the next generation to the area. It has been the main | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
employer for the last 30 years, has been the power station. My two | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
children are off to university and unlikely to get a job in the area, | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
probably likely to work in London because there are no jobs. There | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
are small businesses like ours, which is fine, small shops with one | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
or two people in the shop, but the power station brings customers all | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
year round. The council realises there is a problem and have drawn | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
up an action plan. They wants a business up to be set up, transport | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
links improved, and power-station workers to be retrained. They want | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
the Government to reconsider putting environmental issues to one | :15:05. | :15:13. | |
side and to build another reactor, here. Despite the government ruling | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
in 2010 that there will not be a Dungeness C power station built, | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
the idea still lingers on, with Folkestone and Hythe's MP Damian | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
Collin's still pressing for a third generation nuclear plant on the | :15:22. | :15:30. | |
The Dean of Canterbury Cathedral has accused the Chancellor of a tax | :15:30. | :15:37. | |
raid on the nation's heritage. In an open letter to the government, | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
25 cathedral deans have made their feelings known on the changes to | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
VAT rules for restoring listed buildings. At Canterbury, they fear | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
it could mean major delays to a multi-million pound programme to | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
repair and preserve the medieval building. Lynda Hardy reports. | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
Shrouded in an scaffolding, parts of the cathedral, in danger of | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
collapse. Such work around the world image-building is costing | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
tens of millions of pounds, paid for through fund raising, and could | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
see -- could soon cause potentially a nurse of thousands more with | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
government plans to impose a VAT on restoration work on Cathedrals and | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
judges. With the large amount of work we're doing on the cathedral | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
itself on the other Asian buildings run the precincts, it will have a | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
major impact. We do most work as renovation, restoration and | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
conservation and that is where the VAT as we do it most. The cathedral | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
faces a bill of more than �50 million for restoration including | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
�1.5 million on the great south window, in addition to the �18,500 | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
each day that it costs to run the cathedral. What Neville work is | :16:46. | :16:55. | |
going on. It is up to all of us to support it. -- wonderful work. | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
put on VAT on it is quite ridiculous. The Treasury said that | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
the VAT change would remove anomalies in the system and that | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
grants are available for work on places of worship that are listed | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
but it is another blow for the cathedral that is fearing that it | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
is struggling to meet running costs, and the prospect of new taxes on | :17:15. | :17:25. | |

charitable donations. Our top story tonight: Family of one of the | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
victim's of the Norwegian mass killer Anders Breivik say his | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
actions have left them angry and devastated, and that they believe | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
Breivik is "pure evil". The Reverend Paul Kirby is senior | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
chaplain at East Kent Hospitals. His nephew, Bendik Ellingsen, was | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
just 18 when he was killed, along with 76 others, in a sustained gun | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
and bomb attack last summer. Also in tonight's programme: Welcome to | :17:46. | :17:56. | |

he's unable to move. He's met with the head of the Commission, Lord | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
Falconer, and told him he feels the law has given up on him, and left | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
him to suffer. Our political editor Louise Stewart has tonight's | :18:32. | :18:42. | |

Special Report. Hello, I'm Tony Nicklinson... Tony Nicklinson Can | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
only move and speak with the aid of his wife, Jane, and that means he | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
is unable to take his own life and he was a doctor to be able to help. | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
A commission on assisted dying said there was a strong case for it when | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
someone was terminally ill but for someone to just take the runway for | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
be a step too far. You can take your or one life and the Commission | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
thinks you should be assisted to do so, but you should never be in a | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
position where there is a lawful means of being killed by somebody | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
else. 58-year-old Tawny previous will lead an active life and was a | :19:23. | :19:27. | |

Tony Nicklinson Said he was that defies his questions had been | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
answered after meeting with Lord Falconer. On the questions of one | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
person killing another, he sees dangers when I do not. I believe | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
that the law as many grey areas, and requires qualification. | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
Green Party leader says that this law must only apply to the | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
terminally ill. If a you imply that people with disabilities have | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
leaves that are some are not worth living, that is a danger, but we | :20:10. | :20:20. | |
need to be able to address cases like that off Tony Nicklinson. | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
Falconer says that Wells the has sympathy for Tony, and others like | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
him, it would be too risky to bring about a situation where it becomes | :20:30. | :20:40. | |
legal for one person to kill another. You've seen the Knitted | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
Royal Wedding. We've had the Knitted Brighton Pavillion - to | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
scale. Now watch the Knitted Olympics, complete with athletes | :20:46. | :20:56. | |
:20:56. | :20:59. | ||
made of wool. The cuddly tribute is the brainchild of a Sussex animator. | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
With 101 days to go to the start of the games, it's time for "The | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
Olympknits". Alex Beard has been to meet its creator. Now, that is what | :21:08. | :21:15. | |
I call running. This Olympic netted animation was a painstaking process | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
that took animator, Alan Baker, many hours to make. I had to insert | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
wires and to their limbs to get their limbs to move, and washers, | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
under their feet, then put magnets under the wash his, then standing | :21:29. | :21:36. | |
on metal plates, so it was tricky and time-consuming. Olympknits was | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
created by Brayton pattern cutter, Laura Long, who saw it as a chance | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
to combine two things that she was passionate about. I have created my | :21:47. | :21:55. | |
own that it Olympics so that I can see it for myself. An anonymous | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
netter cover it appear at Saltburn with an array of competitors. This | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
is not the first time that Allen has ventured into the world of | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
topical knitted animation either. He was behind the biggest netted | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
wedding of last year. Whilst you should recognise some of those | :22:12. | :22:19. | |
characters, this time, a striker had to be taken not to create | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
something that resembled Olympic merchandise because that is tightly | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
controlled by the games themselves. We had to be careful not to mention | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
the Olympics or showed any of the logos or any of the Stella | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
McCartney costumes. Allen admits to some impersonation when it comes to | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
one character. My voice-over was based on a merger of Desmond Lynam | :22:41. | :22:48. | |
and Alan Partridge! It is not really what I would call sport. | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
you fancy winning goal without breaking sweat, on your marks, get | :22:52. | :23:02. | |

set, knit! That is brilliant. Genius! Topical knitting! Two of | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
the South East's teams are in action this evening. Brighton will | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
be hoping to bounce back from their 6-0 drubbing at West Ham at the | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
weekend, when they take on mid- table Watford at the Amex Stadium | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
this evening. The Seagulls are five points off the promotion play-offs. | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
Meanwhile, Crawley Town will be looking to get back into the | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
automatic promotion spots tonight. They're aiming for a home win | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
against Northampton, who are enjoying a resurgence under their | :23:29. | :23:36. | |
new manager, Aidy Boothroyd. It's the singing talent show with a | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
difference - the expert judges can't see the contestants before | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
they've decided if they're any good. And Kirsten Joy from Maidstone | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
certainly convinced Jessie J that she's has got "the Voice". And now | :23:47. | :23:57. | |
:23:57. | :23:58. | ||
she's impressed our reporter Chrissie Reidy as well. The blind | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
edition is the most unique part of the process. The only thing that | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
matters is the voice, and they are trying to impress some of the | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
biggest names in the music business. For 25-year-old Kirsten Joy from | :24:12. | :24:20. | |
Maidstone, it was an agonising wait. What I love about your voice is | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
that there has so much that we can do with it. It was amazing. I had | :24:25. | :24:35. | |
:24:35. | :24:40. | ||
the biggest smile on my face. She was smiling at me, too. It was... # | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
Forget about the price tag. excited is she to have one of the | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
most exciting and successful pop stars Amman, Jessie J, as a mentor? | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
I think, it is just such a privilege that she rated me as a | :24:59. | :25:08. | |
:25:09. | :25:15. | ||
singer. And the world goes bang, bang, bang... A already a backing | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
singer and member of a gospel choir, Kirsten insists she is ready to | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
perform to a bigger audience. is hard to get you out there, you | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
need a platform to take you to the next level, to show people who you | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
are, and there are so many people work there, trying to do the same | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
thing, so I thought, this looks like a really incredible show. | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
weekend, it is the battleground, whatever the outcome, Kirsten hopes | :25:41. | :25:48. | |
that it will be just the beginning. It is exciting. She was singing | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
that downstairs in the studio. Michael Fish is here with the | :25:52. | :26:01. | |
weather wearing a fish-themed tie. Weather Wise, it is ironic. Just as | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
we're talking about drought, the Met Office has issued a yellow | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
warning for possible local flooding with 15 mm of rain possible tonight | :26:09. | :26:15. | |
and tomorrow, as well as gale-force winds. That looks like continuing | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
through the rest of this week and into the weekend. It is due to his | :26:20. | :26:28. | |
low pressure that is sitting close to us. All those showers search of | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
getting around it, coming our way, from time to time. We have a very | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
active front, that gay boys lots of heavy rain and gale-force winds, | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
and following on behind, lots of showers but as far as Kent and East | :26:40. | :26:48. | |
Sussex are concerned, there is something of a break at the moment. | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
At three or 4 o'clock in the morning, we have some heavy rain | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
sweeping up from the English Channel and the wind picking up at | :26:55. | :27:01. | |
the same time. There is some good news. Even though it will be mild, | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
with no frost, it will be a wet start tomorrow, with General rain | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
giving way to heavy showers might. It is known to remain windy and | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
cool. The best temperature, around nine Celsius. Showers will continue | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
to rumble on through the evening and tomorrow night. Those showers | :27:21. | :27:25. |
