Welcome to South East Today, I'm Rob Smith. And I'm Polly Evans. | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
Tonight's top stories. A former police officer is arrested on | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
suspicion of stabbing his wife to death at her Kent hair salon. We're | :00:14. | :00:17. | |

The torment of internet trolls - the family left devastated by | :00:20. | :00:29. | |
abusive messages on a tribute site to their dead daughter. | :00:29. | :00:37. | |
This is the last thing that we need as a family. Evil people like this | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
St such wicked things. Also in tonight's programme. A | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
visit from the Commander-in-Chief of the Gurkha's - Prince Charles | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
reviews the troops at Folkestone barracks. After the wettest April | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
on record, still our reservoirs aren't full. How do other countries | :00:48. | :00:56. | |
cope with harvesting rainfall? I would like to hear the sound of a | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
goat doing an impression of Frank Sinatra. | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
And it's all out of his head - we chat with Paul Merton as he returns | :01:04. | :01:14. | |

Good evening. A former Kent police officer has been arrested on | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
suspicion his estranged wife to death at her hair salon in Ashford. | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
Ivan Esack is tonight being questioned on suspicion of the | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
murder of Natalie Esack in Ashford High Street. Friends tonight said | :01:28. | :01:35. | |
she was a lovely person, Simon Jones reports. | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
It was shortly after the salon opened for business that Natalie T | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
Stack was stabbed to death. People nearby heard a commotion but could | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
only look on in horror. I heard some screaming coming from what I | :01:50. | :01:58. | |
then realised was the hairdresser's. But the next thing was someone must | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
have phoned the police because everyone Ben arrived. Natalie Esack | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
was in her 30s and well known in Ashford High Street by other | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
business owners. She always had a smile on her face and she was | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
always pleasant and polite. She just got on with her business. | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
shocking is it to hear what has happened? Very shocking, you do not | :02:24. | :02:33. | |
expect things like that. And not someone being stabbed to death, it | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
is a shock. The cordon is in place around the house where Ivan Esack, | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
her husband, lives, a short drive from the town centre. He was a | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
former Kent police officer. It is believed he and his wife were no | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
longer living together. Neighbours have spoken of their shock. She was | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
quite quiet, she -- he was more the chatty one. To hear that she has | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
been killed, what you make of it? It is just awful. The hunt for | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
clues around the salon is continuing. Sniffer dogs have been | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
brought in and the police have been on guard all day. People here are | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
shocked that this could happen at the start of the day in a bustling | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
town centre. That was Simon Jones reporting, and | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
he joins us now from Ashford High Street. What we know about Ivan | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
Esack? He's 38 years old, I understand he left Kent police a | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
couple of years ago and set up a website where he now describes | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
himself as a football agent. The website also refers to the fact | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
that she used to be a police officer. He is registered to the | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
same address as the hairdressing salon. People have told me that | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
Natalie arrived for work smiling as usual, no one had any idea of the | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
terrible events that were due to happen. | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
The mother of a teenage girl from Maidstone who died in February says | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
her memory has been attacked by a so-called internet troll. Amanda | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Slann died from leukaemia. Days after her funeral, abusive photos | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
and messages were posted on her Facebook memorial site. It comes | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
after another Kent family who's daughter's memorial page was | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
targeted say the law must be changed to help prosecute people | :04:14. | :04:23. | |
who carry out the online attacks. Fiona Irving reports. | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
Amanda Slann died of leukaemia just two months ago. Days after her | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
funeral, a Facebook tribute site in her memory was attacked. Someone | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
started posting abusive comments on the site. One of the comments he | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
put was that Amanda was a disease, her cancer was a disease and she | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
was spreading it. And he was glad that she was dead for that. They | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
also started posting offensive images. To target dead children and | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
their parents and family and friends, some people are really | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
sick. Absolutely sick. I did not think there were people that evil | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
around. It is sadly a story that Trevor and Beverly Porter know too | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
well. Their daughter Charlotte died aged 17 in 2010. She died from | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
deep-vein thrombosis. Just a year after her death a tribute site set | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
up in her memory was also attacked. Someone posted messages pretending | :05:22. | :05:31. | |
to be her. He has destroyed memories. Last September in a | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
ground-breaking case, Sean Duffy was convicted of posting malicious | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
Communications to Facebook tribute sites. He was not convicted of | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
abusing Charlotte's side but later confessed to it. He was jailed for | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
18 weeks. Then maximum sentence that this offence carries his six | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
months ended you plead guilty, 17 weeks. We have a life sentence to | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
serve every day. But Charlotte and Amanda's parents want to see the | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
law changed to make it easier to find and prosecute those who hide | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
behind the internet to abuse people's memories. | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
We're joined from Brighton by Scott Freeman who set up the Cybersmile | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
Foundation, a charity which offers support to people affected by | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
online hate campaigns, after his daughter was bullied online. Mr | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
Freeman, what sort of impact did this bullying have on your | :06:22. | :06:32. | |
:06:32. | :06:34. | ||
daughter? My daughter, it happened over a period of eight months, and | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
at its worst she was getting 16 negative bits of feedback on her | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
Facebook. She had strangers who got involved saying, why do you not | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
kill yourself, or they would do it for her. It affected everything, | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
her attendance at school, her eating, her socialising. Just a | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
devastating effect. It seems to be a growing problem, what can be done | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
to catch the internet troll? police have ways to track internet | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
addresses but they only get involved if there are serious | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
threats. Until there is a real deterrent, through the legal system, | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
people will continue to do it. government says legislation does | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
exist under the Communications Act and they have bought hundreds of | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
prosecutions. Do you think that that is not enough? It is not | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
enough. It is common now and affects one in three children. It | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
is just not enough, no. There needs to be a deterrent otherwise it will | :07:37. | :07:45. | |
keep happening. Coming up, of why the Olympics | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
could spell disaster for summer for smaller airfields. - just some of | :07:51. | :08:01. | |
:08:01. | :08:02. | ||
fire. A Hastings man has told the court | :08:02. | :08:10. | |
that he interrogated a man to get him to confess to being a | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
paedophile. Christopher Hunnisett killed 57-year-old Peter Bick in | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
Bexhill in January 2011. Our Home Affairs Correspondent, Colin | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
Campbell reports. Whilst both men were in the bedroom | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
Christopher Hunnisett said he tied a lace around the neck of Peter | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
Bick and then try to interrogate him. He said, he passed out a bit | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
and I had a camera by the side of the bed. He said he was trying to | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
get Peter Bick to confess to being a paedophile, but things went wrong. | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
He acknowledged the Peter Bick managed to get one hand free and | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
grabbed him around the throat. He said, I hit him to get his hand off | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
me but it got tighter and I hit him more times. Christopher Honey said | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
told the court he used military truck -- strategies to try to track | :09:08. | :09:15. | |
down paedophiles. The prosecution say it is no evidence that Peter | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
Bick was a paedophile. Christopher Hunnisett denies murder but excepts | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
causing Peter Bick serious bodily harm, acting with diminished | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
responsibility. A 21-year-old man has been arrested | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
on suspicion of murder after a fatal stabbing at a Brighton flat. | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
Police were called to the flat in Norfolk Square yesterday evening | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
after a report that the 40-year-old male occupant had been stabbed. | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
Lord Alan Sugar has tweeted his support in the search for a missing | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
Brighton pensioner. Nellie Herriot, who is 96 and has Alzheimers, was | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
last seen on a bus in the city last Tuesday. Police have released CCTV | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
images of her taken the weekend before she disappeared. | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
A Kent flying school says it could be badly hit by flying restrictions | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
imposed for the Olympics. The restrictions will be in place from | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
the 14th of July to the 12th of September, when a "prohibited zone" | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
will stop all flights over London, except to or from Heathrow, RAF | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
Northolt and London City Airport. Aircraft may apply to fly within a | :10:13. | :10:21. | |
wider restricted zone, if they adhere to strict guidelines. | :10:21. | :10:29. | |
Chrissie Reidy reports. Around 150 airfields will be | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
restricted during the Olympic Games. Medway Microlights say that with no | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
guarantee they will be able to fly at their busiest time of the year, | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
they could go out of business. have made it so that it is a rum | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
deal, we cannot operate correctly. I have said to them, of what would | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
they do if they lost their pay packet for five weeks? To keep the | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
London skies free of any suspicious aircraft, the Ministry of Defence | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
has implemented strict airspace restrictions around Olympic venues. | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
Anyone wanting to fly in a restricted zone needs a transponder | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
which gives all aircraft and identification code. As a role | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
microlight and gliders do not have them. Anyone who wants to die it | :11:13. | :11:21. | |
also has to submit a flight plan. - - wants to fly. The available slots, | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
only so many people can fly at one time, so those slots will not be | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
given to us. We have asked for a compromise which would offer | :11:30. | :11:37. | |
give us a compromise because they know there is not the airspace. | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
This training exercise using RAF typhoons should give you some idea | :11:39. | :11:48. | |
of the measures being taken to through. The government says it is | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
taking no risks. We have to deliver a safe and has secured games and | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
the threat from the air is very stadium itself there will be | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
winners and losers amongst the business community. But for the | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
authorities in charge of security, the bottom line is to deliver a | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
safe Olympics. They're about to be deployed to | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
Afghanistan for the third time and today soldiers from the Royal | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
Gurkha Rifles met their Colonel in Chief, the Prince of Wales. | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
Prince Charles visited the Sir John Moore Barracks in Folkestone, as | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
part of a tour of Kent. The Prince is also President of The National | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
Trust, and his trip to the county also took in Knole House near | :12:25. | :12:33. | |
Sevenoaks. Peter Whittlesea reports. A Ghurka welcome fit for offence. | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
As Colonel in-Chief of regiment, the Prince of Wales's visit to | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
Folkestone was seen as a morale- booster for those soldiers | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
preparing for Afghanistan. As the brigade of Gurkhas is set to be | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
scaled back in the budget cuts, the royal seal of approval was seen by | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
many to highlight the important role that the Gurkhas played in a | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
British Army. He wanted to know where the men | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
were going in Afghanistan and when they were going. I had to explain | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
that there will be quite split up. The plan appears to be changing, it | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
seems that they may be scattered amongst other battalions. A 20 | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
minute helicopter ride linked to a subject close to the Prince's heart. | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
Defence of the realm and defending national heritage. Emergency | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
repairs about to start at Noel house in Sevenoaks. As President of | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
the National Trust, the Prince is passionate about preserving the | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
past from the elements as well as woodworm. I think he was quite | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
surprised at the extent of the damage and he is quite | :13:37. | :13:44. | |
knowledgeable about these things. I think she was interested to see the | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
Beatles and did not expect to see what they look like, he found it | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
interesting. We want to raise its profile and put it in its rightful | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
place as one of the palaces of England. So the -- to have the | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
Prince coming has been fabulous. The Prince winners conservation | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
techniques that will safeguard the building was my future. -- | :14:06. | :14:15. | |
Our top story tonight. A former police officer is under arrest on | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
suspicion of the murder of his hairdresser wife, who was stabbed | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
to death at her Ashford shop. Also in tonight's programme. | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
Warming up for the 46th Brighton Festival - we'll fill you in on | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
this year's highlights. And he's the king of improv - but | :14:29. | :14:39. | |
:14:39. | :14:40. | ||
we'll be chatting to Paul Merton Despite the South East being | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
declared officially in drought, we've seen one of the wettest | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
Aprils on record. Up to 40 millimetres fell across the region | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
over the weekend. And around 120 millimetres has fallen during April. | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
Over the weekend, South East Water says capacity at reservoirs did | :14:55. | :15:02. | |
rise. For example, Ardingly's stocks rose by 3% to 67%. But how | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
do other countries cope with managing their water stocks during | :15:05. | :15:15. | |
:15:15. | :15:16. | ||
shortages? Tonight we have three reports from around the world. | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
Here in sunny Australia and they have had problems with traits and | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
water supplies for centuries. They get to drought every 14 years or so. | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
The biggest problem is that 70% of the rain falls and the North and | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
some tips end of the population live in the south. They have | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
movement of water across the country. They have a huge system of | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
aqueducts and tunnels which moos water around South Eastern | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
Australia. It has been successful but the problem is it is getting | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
old and cannot keep up with population growth. So they have | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
gone in for desalination plants, making drinking water from sea | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
water. But they are expensive to build an expensive to run. | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
Ironically, all of this comes on the very day that the Australian | :16:09. | :16:16. | |
government has officially declared an end to correct in Australia. | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
They have done that in part because of rain for that has been incest | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
and in the past two years because of the West and a system in the | :16:24. | :16:31. | |
western Pacific. Think Spain, and perhaps you think | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
of the hot, dry South where thousands of British people go on | :16:35. | :16:42. | |
holiday. But parts of north-west Spain are as wet as England. The | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
key to getting water to everyone is an elaborate network of dams where | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
water is diverted from the wetter regions to the drier parts of the | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
country. If you have a long coastline then you can build a | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
large number of desalination plants, another reason why this arid | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
country has not had a hosepipe ban in several years, up because a lot | :17:05. | :17:11. | |
of water it is treated and then re- used on places like golf courses. | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
Here in India, and rainwater harvesting is becoming popular and | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
widespread. Because of its large population and pressure on natural | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
resources, levels of ground water are dipping rapidly. This is | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
despite the fact that during the monsoon months many parts of the | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
country expects heavy rainfall, but most of the water goes to waste. | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
Now it is mandatory in many cities and states to incorporate rainwater | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
harvesting techniques when commissioning new building projects. | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
For instance here in Delhi, and number of buildings as well as | :17:48. | :17:55. | |
private residences have rainwater harvesting techniques. What they do | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
essentially is used a network of pipes to divert water into a large | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
storage tanks and the ground and then the water is treated and | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
released into the ground. And here, despite the wettest April | :18:07. | :18:15. | |
on record there are no plans to end the current restrictions. | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
He's been a feature of Friday night telly for decades and it's fair to | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
say Paul Merton is one of the nation's favourite comedians. But | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
while he started his illustrious career in stand-up and | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
improvisation, he hasn't actually done a stand-up tour for 12 years. | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
But now he's taking a new stage show around the UK, promising to | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
expose the "bizarre workings of his brain". Tonight it's in Tunbridge | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
Wells. In a moment we'll be hearing from Paul, first here's a reminder | :18:41. | :18:50. | |
of his work. As I stared into the mouth of the ravenous beast I could | :18:50. | :18:56. | |
see in the background and Angel by genetically pointing north. I'd | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
like to have my own theme tune as well. One thing we should all have | :18:59. | :19:06. | |
one. What would your speed? I would like the sound of broken glass | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
followed by a high-pitched female voice saying, or leave it, Dave, | :19:10. | :19:17. | |
he's not worth it. You will bestow, you'll be in the red and white | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
stripes. I'll be Birmingham. revenge a recreate they gave them | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
that if we have to take the stake team off altogether. We have | :19:28. | :19:38. | |
:19:38. | :19:39. | ||
bullied them in such ways so that you can't move them anyhow. Well, | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
we caught up with Paul Merton a bit earlier, ahead of tonight's show | :19:43. | :19:50. | |
and asked him why he'd taken such a long break from stand-up. | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
A lot of time when I talk I do improvisational shows which are | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
quite easy in the sense that you don't have rehearsals or props or | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
costumes or technical rehearsals. That is quite fun but about two or | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
three years ago I made a couple of documentaries about Hollywood and I | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
love the whole idea of working with material and getting the chance to | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
hone staff. That is what I wanted to do in a live theatre environment | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
and revisits staff night after night to try and improve it. At the | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
course you do not have a director show a chink in your ear. Though | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
sometimes that might tell because it would save me making the same | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
mistake night after night! You're working with your wife, is that | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
wise? Yes, I think it is much better than not working with each | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
other because on a 50 date tour you're travelling all round the | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
country. Instead of getting home at 2am to somebody you have not seen | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
all day, we are together. And you write stuff together. The us, we do. | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
It is a happy working partnership as well as a sort of marriage. | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
show is called Jonathan Pope. Is it all about the workings of your | :21:04. | :21:13. | |
brain? -- it is called out of my head. It is about the things that | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
occur to us, what makes us laugh, how important a sense of humour is | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
to general mental health. There are songs in it, there are sketches, a | :21:23. | :21:29. | |
bit of magical effects, a mixture of things. Are you going to | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
improvise at all in it, would you change it as you go along? Things | :21:32. | :21:40. | |
do change. Over 50 date tour stitches change, new lines cumin, | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
occasionally if somebody forget the line we just ad lib our way out of | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
it. There is always the chance to do something new every night. | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
would love to talk to prolong the but we have run out of time. Good | :21:54. | :22:02. | |
luck with the show this evening. Football now, and it was a | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
disappointing weekend for the South East's top clubs. Brighton, | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
Charlton and Gillingham all drew and Crawley Town's hopes of back- | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
to-back promotions received an unexpected blow with a 3-0 home | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
defeat to Hereford. Despite that, the Reds will go into next | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
Saturday's final game of the season in third place. The 46th Brighton | :22:18. | :22:24. | |
Festival gets under way in a few days. The annual event is worth | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
millions of pounds to the local economy as thousands of people | :22:27. | :22:36. | |
visit the city. Ian Palmer is there for us. Howard found stock | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
preparations? Very advanced, but there is always | :22:40. | :22:47. | |
much more to do. That helped with the bars around the city. This is | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
the 46th festival for Brighton. For many it marks the beginning of the | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
entertainment season. It is that time again. Brighton festival is | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
much heralded, much supported and much loved. One of the questions we | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
are asking is the idea that if you could write a message and put it in | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
a bottle and sending out to sea, what would you put on the message? | :23:09. | :23:16. | |
It is called a sea of waves walk. The voices are served up by a smart | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
phone app. We asked people to walk from the seafront to the marina and | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
asked them to pick about distance and time and the sea and our | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
relationship to it. The sea is in front of you know. When I was here | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
last the sea was bustling with people dock. Letters ground | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
ourselves a moment. Over the next few weeks, thousands will come to | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
Brighton. The chief executive says 2012 will be a great year. We kick | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
off with an incredible first weekend. The children's parade | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
starts and this year is bigger than ever with some 5000 children coming. | :23:54. | :24:02. | |
Vanessa Redgrave put League that parade. The offering from Danny | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
O'Donoghue is at mixture between Brighton and the Italian city of | :24:06. | :24:16. | |
:24:16. | :24:17. | ||
Palermo. We could somehow make a collision of these places. Some | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
artists are more prepared than others, but be in no doubt that | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
when the time comes they will be ready. | :24:25. | :24:33. | |
David Batchelor is the lead artist of a scheme where parties shown in | :24:34. | :24:43. | |
:24:44. | :24:43. | ||
residential houses. The children's parade starts here on Saturday. | :24:44. | :24:53. | |
It has been a lovely day today, but I am afraid so. It will not | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
surprise you that this April has been the wettest on record for the | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
UK. There is a weather warning paid for heavy rain and strong winds | :25:03. | :25:09. | |
through tonight. We expect between 20 and 30 mm of rain. Eventually | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
the rain will clear three tomorrow. Increasingly driver still clouded | :25:15. | :25:25. | |
:25:25. | :25:29. | ||
by the afternoon. Temperatures with highs of around 18 degrees. The | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
increasingly unsettled as we go through tonight. Very wet and windy. | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
As a result, it will be mild. Temperatures staying in double | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
figures. A wet and windy start to the day tomorrow. The band of rain | :25:44. | :25:51. | |
slowly clears northwards. A tricky rush hour. The wind swinging back | :25:51. | :25:57. | |
to a south-westerly direction. Plenty of cloud around and a little | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
bit of sunshine on the south coast. Temperatures still not too bad for | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
the time of year. It stays dry three tomorrow night. Plenty of | :26:07. | :26:13. |
