Bryony MacKenzie. And I'm Rob Smith. Tonight's top stories. Six different | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
plans for a Thames Estuary airport, but no massive expansion at Lydd or | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
Manston - we talk to the Chairman of the Airports Commission. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
Thousands of cancer patients and expectant mums have to wait for | :00:19. | :00:29. | |
vital scans because of a new computer system. Somebody has to | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
take responsibility for what is going on with all of these patients. | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
Also in tonight's programme... Sussex and England cricketer Monty | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
Panesar is fined by police for urinating over a nightclub bouncer. | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
We're live at the club where it happened. | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
Gone and possibly forgotten - the funeral directors left with hundreds | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
of unclaimed ashes appeal for them to be collected. | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
Rebuilding a dream - how steam railway fans are putting an historic | :00:51. | :01:01. | |
:01:01. | :01:07. | ||
railway line back on route maps. Good evening. | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
Six different plans to build a massive hub airport in the Thames | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
Estuary have been submitted to the man charged with looking at airport | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
capacity in the UK. Speaking to this programme tonight, Sir Howard Davies | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
revealed that he thought it highly unlikely Lydd or Manston will play a | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
significant part in any expansion plan, however he did think they | :01:24. | :01:31. | |
would have a role to play. Sir Howard says some of the proposals | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
he'll be looking at are "imaginative and thoughtful," while others are "a | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
bit far fetched". Ellie Price has more. | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
His final decision could shape UK aviation, as well as the landscape | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
of the south-east. If Sir Howard Davies decides the UK has an airport | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
capacity problem, the solution will not be from small airports like | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
Manston or Lydd. It is highly unlikely either of those would be a | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
candidate for the major hub airport of the sort we have been discussing. | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
One does need to look at the role these smaller airports can play in | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
the total picture. But frankly, I do not think we are going to seek four | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
runways at Lydd. Arriving for the commission's consideration are a | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
number of proposals in the south-east. Gatwick's plans for a | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
second runway that they say could more than double the number of | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
passengers they can handle. Boris Johnson's two proposals for a North | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
Kent hub airport near the Thames Estuary. And Manston's suggestion | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
that it could act as a reliever airport from London. They are among | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
25 proposals and come up against those for an expansion of Heathrow | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
and Stansted. Although we don't have any principal objections to a new | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
airport, private investors do stand ready to invest in all of the | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
south-east's existing airports and what they need is certainty about | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
the future and the government's position. But others say there is no | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
need for any more capacity in this airport area, hub or otherwise. | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
There is no evidence of the growth of the economy in the south-east | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
suffering for the last few decades. One of the things is an overheated | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
south-east, and a sluggish north, and I would like to see far more | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
attention paid to evening out the economy. The Commission will release | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
a short list of preferred options later this year. The final | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
recommendations will not come until 2015, after the next general | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
election. Well earlier I spoke to Sir Howard | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
Davies and asked him whether the answer to airport capacity was a hub | :03:32. | :03:40. | |
airport off the North Kent coast. I think that the argument about a | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
hub may be a little overstated. I do not think anybody is denying that | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
you need an airport which can provide connections and transfer | :03:50. | :03:57. | |
traffic, and which pulls together then routes and puts the passengers | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
together onto a thick route. Nobody is going to deny that you need that | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
capacity. The issue is, how much do you need and will the future growth | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
of aviation be in those old networks that the national airlines have | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
traditionally provided, or will it be in the low-cost carriers, who | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
focus on point-to-point? Your decision-making will continue to be | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
highly scrutinised. Boris Johnson has said that an airport on the Isle | :04:28. | :04:37. | |
of Grain would serve a trivial population in comparison to | :04:37. | :04:47. | |
:04:47. | :04:48. | ||
Heathrow. Are the concerns all equally weighted? We have set out | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
what we call sifting criteria. consulted on them and showed how we | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
were planning to take a balanced approach to looking at things that | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
were buildable, the practicalities of it, issues like safety, the | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
health of the local population, the climate change dimension. We | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
consulted on the criteria that we are going to use. I won't hide from | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
the fact that at the end, you're going to have to reach a balance. | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
Moving on to Gatwick, another airport that features highly in our | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
part of the south-east, they want to expand, could that be a viable | :05:24. | :05:34. | |
solution? I think it would be unlikely to be instead of a hub, in | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
that I think you would certainly still need one airport which made | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
connections between flights in the way that Heathrow now does. The | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
issue is, where is the growth in the future going to come? Is it going to | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
be in that kind of network airline operation? Or is it going to be in | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
point-to-point traffic of the kind that Gatwick and Stansted specialise | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
in at the moment? That was Sir Howard Davies, the | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
Commissioner for the new Airports Commission. | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
Our business correspondent Mark Norman is in Chatham in Medway. | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
Mark, that part of the world could be significantly impacted by airport | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
expansion in the South East. Some frank assessments there from Sir | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
Howard Davies? The Department for Transport tell us that there are | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
currently 118 million passenger movements every year, and they said | :06:30. | :06:40. | |
:06:40. | :06:42. | ||
that number will go up 2032 204 million and by 2050, 200 94 million. | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
-- 294 million. Do we need a brand-new hub airport? Would it be | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
on the River Thames? There are six different proposals on his plate as | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
King whether or not we should build this Thames Estuary airport. Should | :06:55. | :07:05. | |
:07:05. | :07:06. | ||
it be a second runway at Gatwick? That would create 30 million | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
passenger movements. What he said today he was ruling out Manston as a | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
hub airport. They never asked for that. They talked about being a | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
believer airport, taking on low-cost carriers and more freight. While we | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
may never see super jumbos at Manston, we might have an idea of | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
what Sir Howard Davies is thinking about. | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
East Kent Hospitals Trust has tonight apologised after it emerged | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
cancer patients and expectant mothers are having to wait up to six | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
weeks for vital scans and x-rays because of problems with a new | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
computer system. A dedicated call centre set up to deal with the | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
problem has already received 2000 calls of complaint this week alone. | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
The chief executive of the trust says he's trying to find a solution | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
with the company which provides the technology. Peter Whittlesea | :07:51. | :07:59. | |
reports. Leslie says her GP referred her for | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
an urgent lung scan. Three weeks and numerous calls to the hospital | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
later, she had not even be given an appointment. She was so worried | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
about her health, she went private. It showed a significant problem. | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
GP got the results of that scan at eight o'clock the following morning. | :08:16. | :08:23. | |
She phoned me and she has now given me a referral to a chest specialist. | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
The delays started after hospitals introduced a new system for x-ray | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
and scan results at the beginning of July. Two weeks later we reported | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
the story of a man who was among patients waiting up to a month for | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
x-ray results. A hotline was set up to do with the backlog and receives | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
2000 calls in the first week. The hospital trust said the outsourced | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
system is not working properly. have contractual arrangements which | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
I cannot discuss, but to the extent that they have let us down, we will | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
look for a wee dress and make sure the taxpayer is not paying the cost | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
of the contingency measures. -- redress. The company which installed | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
the computer system says it is working closely with the hospitals | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
to resolve the situation. One MP says that accompany has got to get | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
its act together. The staff are doing their utmost, but they are | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
becoming overwhelmed. There is no doubt about that. The staff can only | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
do what they can do in 24 hours in a day. This is down to the company, | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
the Company responsible has to get this right. As far as I can see, | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
they appear to be in breach of contract. Leslie fears other urgent | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
referrals like hers might have slipped through the net. These | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
computer delays can be affecting patient health. | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
Peter Whittlesea is at the Kent and Canterbury Hospital now. What more | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
have patients there had to say this evening? Patients are saying the | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
situation here is chaotic and the delays are impacting on pregnant | :09:55. | :10:02. | |
women who are due there are 12 week scan. -- there are 12 week scan. The | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
hospital says it is dealing with cases in two to three days and it | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
has drafted in extra staff and put on additional clinics to deal with | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
the backlog. Staff here are livid that this computer system is not | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
working. I have heard of cases where radiographers and admin staff have | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
cancelled their holidays and are coming in at weekends to deal with | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
this backlog. There is a sense of anger that they are having to do | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
this to bail out a private company that has not delivered. | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
Coming up... The row over rubbish in wielding, with 9000 homes saying | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
they have been missed of the collection for weeks. -- missed off. | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
The Sussex and England cricketer Monty Panesar has been fined by | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
police for urinating on bouncers outside a nightclub in Brighton. | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
It's believed the 31-year-old spin bowler had been asked to leave the | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
Shooshh club this weekend after complaints from some female | :10:55. | :11:05. | |
:11:05. | :11:10. | ||
clubbers. Our reporter John Young is in Brighton for us now. | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
This has developed as quite a story. By lunchtime, Monty Panesar | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
had made an apology and no denial. This is a really popular cricketer | :11:19. | :11:28. | |
with the public, playing for Sussex and also England in the Ashes | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
squad, but not selected to play at the weekend, which is why he was in | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
the nightclub in the small hours of Monday morning. He had a few drinks | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
and was causing problems with some and who were unhappy, so he was | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
asked to leave. He was not happy and then things kicked off. He went up | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
the stairs, along the street, and then urinated on to the bouncer in | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
Neath. He was furious and chased after Monty Panesar. They ran along | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
the road to a takeaway. The police were called and he was fined �94 | :12:02. | :12:11. | |
drunk and disorderly behaviour. �90 four drunk and disorderly behaviour. | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
That is pocket money to him. That is not enough. It is not discouraging | :12:17. | :12:24. | |
others. We spend a lot of time trying to give these guys good role | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
models and teach them the rights and wrongs and it makes life harder when | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
they say that he did this or that, and it is almost childish behaviour | :12:32. | :12:40. | |
to see this in the news. How have Sussex County Cricket club | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
responded? They have issued a statement saying | :12:42. | :12:49. | |
they are taking it very soon see. They say he is a talented cricketer | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
and with that there are challenges. They say it will be decision time | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
next week, and we will know then if Monty Panesar is in that squad. | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
Around 3,000 homes in Kent have had their water supply cut off after | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
three water mains burst. Residents in Ticehurst, Hurst Green, | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
Roberstbridge and Mountfield have been affected. Some say they've been | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
without water for over 24 hours. South East Water says that two of | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
the water mains have already been repaired and that people in the area | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
may have low water pressure for a time. | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
Dozens of retired Gurkhas from Kent have been involved in a protest | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
about pay and conditions outside the Ministry of Defence today. The | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
former members of the Gurkha Regiment, who now train new | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
recruits, are angry about proposed changes to the terms and conditions | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
of their jobs with the defence contractor, SERCO. They are also | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
balloting on industrial action. Sussex Police say they are preparing | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
for an increase in the number of protesters against oil exploration | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
in Balcombe next week. They say several hundred campaigners from the | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
group Reclaim the Power are planning to join the demonstration. 100 | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
officers a day are at the site and the force says it's constantly | :13:55. | :14:02. | |
reviewing its resources. It says it has cost �73,000. | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
A man on trial in connection with the murder of his friend had said he | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
would shoot anyone who threatened his home, a court heard. Kevin | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
McKinley was shot outside a house in Dartford in February. Lewis | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
Wickenden is charged with possessing a firearm and assisting an offender, | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
his girlfriend, with murder. Sara Smith reports. | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
Kevin McKinley had come to this street last February to sort out an | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
argument with a friend, jurors heard today. It ended up with him shot | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
dead, his friend facing charges, his friend's partner accused of murder. | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
Today, the man who had driven him to the house and witnessed the | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
aftermath was giving evidence. Marley Booth said that friend, Lewis | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
Wickenden, told him on an earlier occasion he had been threatened by | :14:46. | :14:56. | |
:14:56. | :15:14. | ||
an armed gang at his home and police Kevin McKinley had been involved in | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
threatening Lewis and that he had gone round to sort things out | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
between them. But later it was said that he probably knew there would be | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
a fight. The court heard that Lewis Wickenden's partner, Michaela | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
Sargent, met Kevin McKinley outside the house. She was armed with a | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
shotgun which she pointed at his head. When he turned away she | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
lowered the gun and says it went off by accident, causing the lethal | :15:34. | :15:44. | |
:15:44. | :15:48. | ||
wound. The jury will have to decide if it was an accident or murder. | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
Residents in East Sussex said they are angry and frustrated their bins | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
and recycling have not been collected for over a month. Around | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
9000 homes have missed a connection and some people have complained | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
about maggot infestations. The contract for bin collections and | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
recycling in the district had recently been given over to a new | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
company. Every day I come out to spread the | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
maggots. It is quite disgusting. These are in double bags and the | :16:18. | :16:24. | |
maggots keep on appearing. maggots, the smell, the rubbish | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
piled high. In this picturesque corner of East Sussex, the residents | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
have not had their bins collected for over a month and they are angry. | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
We are fed up with it. I do not know what the solution is. I am just | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
doing it with a spray and still cannot stop them. It is revolting. | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
We try and keep asked tight shot and it got to the stage for their work | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
maggots crawling up and down the outside of the bin. Two weeks ago, | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
waste collection was fully taken over by a new company. They have | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
fewer trucks and fewer refuge to collectors, but they say they are | :17:05. | :17:13. | |
having teething problems. They have apologised to customers. Because | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
they are not using the old stuff they do not know where to pick up | :17:16. | :17:23. | |
from. The district council say the contract is saving them three | :17:23. | :17:30. | |
quarters of �1 million a year, but currently those efficiency savings | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
are not particularly efficient. There are 65,000 households in the | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
district. So far, 9600 have not had their rubbish collected in the last | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
two weeks. It is saving and it will be a better service, but they are | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
not supplying that and we have responsibility for that and we are | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
working towards that. It will be a better service and saving the | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
taxpayer 's money. Residents say right now, they just want to see | :17:55. | :18:04. | |
their household waste go. The top story tonight... | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
The man charged with looking at airport capacity in the UK, Sir | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
Howard Davies, has told this programme it's "highly unlikely" | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
Lydd or Manston will play a significant part of any expansion | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
plan, although they could still have a role to play. No fewer than six | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
different plans have been submitted for a Thames Estuary airport. | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
Also in tonight's programme... Not the end of the line - the | :18:25. | :18:33. | |
historical steam railway track making a modern day comeback. | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
It has been eight ales sunshine and showers. Tomorrow, much more | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
sunshine. -- a day of sunshine and showers. | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
Two East Sussex funeral directors have joined forces to launch an | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
unusual appeal, calling on local people to come forward and collect | :18:48. | :18:54. | |
the remains of their loved ones. Bexhill's Douglas Mercer & Son, and | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
Hastings-based Banfield & Pomphrey, both long established funeral | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
directors in the area, say many relatives never collect the remains. | :19:02. | :19:09. | |
In total, 124 sets of ashes have been left unclaimed. Many of the | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
remains have been at the funeral directors' for 20 years or more. And | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
the oldest set has been there for over 40 years, since 1971. Claudia | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
Sermbezis has tonight's special report. | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
We come from dust, we returned to dust. A frequent phrase at a | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
funeral, but for more than four decades, these ashes of all ages, | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
young and old, have remained in a sort of limbo, unclaimed and | :19:36. | :19:43. | |
uncollected. People move, it can be too painful, people can pass away. | :19:44. | :19:52. | |
There are a number of cremation urns we hold for families until such time | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
as they want them want to do something with them. Douglas Mercer | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
& Son and Banfield and Palfrey in Hastings have 124 earns between | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
them. The oldest remains are from 1971. They are trying to contact any | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
relatives so they can be scattered, interred, or kept at all. We are | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
always humbled that people let us look after their loved one when they | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
pass away. It is a continuation of that. We are just the custodians. We | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
are humbled we are able to do that. We would rather families have them, | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
if they do so wish. Martin has been driving a hearse for three years. He | :20:32. | :20:41. | |
believes part of the problem is death was not get discussed much. | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
People often do not know what their mum or dad wanted. That can lead to | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
heartache for people while they try and sort it out. We hope it gets | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
people talking about their future wishes. The funeral directors will | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
keep hold of the Ashes if no one comes forward, but it is hoped the | :20:58. | :21:08. | |
:21:08. | :21:11. | ||
appeal will mean that everyone will finally be laid to rest with family. | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
The dream of rebuilding the old railway line running all the way | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
from Tenterden in Kent to Robertsbridge in Sussex has taken a | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
major step to being realised. Enthusiasts who took over the line | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
years after it closed in the 1950s have restored the track and run | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
steam trains from Tenterden as far as Bodiam. Now, the first half mile | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
of track coming the other way, back from Robertsbridge, is nearing | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
completion. And as Robin Gibson reports, its sent hopes soaring that | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
the missing three miles could be finally be completed, and complete a | :21:41. | :21:51. | |
:21:51. | :22:07. | ||
track that was last used more than It is a waiting game... This is | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
where they are making a stand to win the West. The unconquered western | :22:13. | :22:23. | |
:22:23. | :22:25. | ||
end of the line. It began coming back from Tenterden in the 1960s. | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
There has been a volunteer presence since the 1990s. It has been the | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
ambition, the dream, to get back to Robertsbridge and remake the | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
connection with the national railway. Passenger services were cut | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
in 1954, and the last freight trains departed in 1961. Thanks to | :22:43. | :22:50. | |
enthusiasts, today the much loved steam trains are back. Well, to a | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
point. There is always a way. You always want to go a bit further and | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
do a bit more. The grass is always greener, isn't it? It has taken the | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
Kent and East Sussex Railway the best part of 50 years to get to | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
hear, the middle of nowhere, the end of the line for an hour. But for how | :23:11. | :23:19. | |
much longer? The precious new half mile of track coming all the way -- | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
the other way has got them thinking. It is a glimpse of the future. Can | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
you put a time frame on it? That is a difficult question to answer. I | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
think we are looking at around five years. There are a number of bridges | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
to cross and roads as well, literally, to cross before the Kent | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
and the Sussex real weight reaches Robertsbridge. Next month, the | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
rather Valley Railway will have a steam train on the line to get | :23:47. | :23:54. | |
steamed up a bag what might just be the beginning of the end of the | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
line. -- steamed up about. Football now, and only one of the | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
south east's teams made it through to the second round of the Capital | :24:05. | :24:12. | |
One Cup last night. There were plenty of thrills and spills and one | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
particularly embarrassing home defeat. Neil Bell reports. | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
Most Albion supporters thought this would be a formality against the | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
team who were in Conference South two years ago. Ashley Barnes put | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
Brighton in front. The game changed in the second half, when a challenge | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
left the Newport captain with a broken leg and saw the Albion | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
defender sent off. With less than ten minutes to go, a header from | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
Danny Crow took the game into extra time. And a solo effort from another | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
sub, Washington, to serve a famous upset, although Brighton will appeal | :24:43. | :24:53. | |
:24:53. | :24:54. | ||
against the red card. He went to the ball. It was a 50-50 challenge. It | :24:54. | :25:02. | |
was unlucky for the Newport player. A 4-0 win over Oxford saw Charlton | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
Athletic qualify from round two, with Simon Church scoring twice. Two | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
goals from Micky Adams couldn't prevent Crawley going down 4-3 after | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
extra time in a cup tie at League two Cheltenham, Harrison scoring the | :25:13. | :25:23. | |
:25:23. | :25:25. | ||
winner six minutes from time. And Gillingham failed to repeat last | :25:25. | :25:35. | |
:25:35. | :25:39. | ||
season's victory over Bristol city, Lots of disappointment. It is early | :25:39. | :25:45. | |
days! We have got some decent weather | :25:45. | :25:52. | |
news. It will be warm. Today, there was cloud and rain. Over the next | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
couple of days, it is not bound right. We will see more rain, | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
particularly on Friday. There is sunshine, and temperatures feeling | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
warm for the time of year. The area of low pressure gave us cloud | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
pressure and outbreaks of rain. Temperatures not too bad for the | :26:12. | :26:20. | |
time of year. There were highs of around 21 or 22 degrees. The breezes | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
will ease of tonight and the showers ease as well. It will be dry and | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
cool. Temperatures in low double figures and in rural spots dropping | :26:30. | :26:36. | |
down to single figures. Clearer skies with mist and hill fog | :26:36. | :26:46. | |
forming. We have got the ridge of high pressure to thank for that. | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
Tomorrow, a settled picture, perhaps one or two showers by the afternoon. | :26:50. | :26:56. | |
For the most part, staying dry with decent spells of sunshine. | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
Temperatures around 21 or 22. Lighter winds as well. So tomorrow | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
night, clearer skies initially and more cloud cover with outbreaks of | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
patchy rain and drizzle first thing on Friday. The weather front players | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
out of the way first thing on Friday. By the afternoon it | :27:15. | :27:23. | |
brightens up. For the weekend, Saturday it looks to be pretty good | :27:23. | :27:28. |
