Airbourne is back with the donations buckets doing the rounds. Welcome to | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
South East Today, I'm Chrissie Reidy. And I'm John Young. Tonight's | :00:08. | :00:15. | |
top stories. Bragging with his friends about life in prison. The | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
man who held a mother and child at knife—point is disciplined over his | :00:20. | :00:27. | |
Facebook page. What must it feel like for this man's victims? From | :00:27. | :00:35. | |
this... To this. Hastings Pier is opening up again — but how realistic | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
are the plans for its future? We're on the Sussex coast tonight to find | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
out. Also tonight, up to 1,000 protesters are expected to gather in | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
Balcombe tomorrow as the campaign for exploratory drilling shows no | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
sign of slowing down. Celebrations or commiserations, as thousands of | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
students received their A—Level results today, we'll have a full | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
round—up. And join the live later when you can see mine of these | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
beauties looping the loop with the rest of the Red Arrows high end the | :01:01. | :01:13. | |
sky above Eastbourne. —— high in the sky. Good evening. A man from Kent | :01:13. | :01:29. | |
who was jailed for threatening a mother and daughter at knife point | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
is facing disciplinary action tonight, after he apparently boasted | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
online about his life behind bars. His Facebook page has now been taken | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
down. Sonny Barker, who's from Canterbury, is believed to have | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
uploaded photos to his online profile and bragged of an easy life | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
at a young offenders' institute. A local MP has called for a full | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
investigation into whether mobile phones are being smuggled into Kent | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
prisons. Rebecca Williams reports. Pictured from his prison cell, it is | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
believed these inmates posted imagist Facebook, glorifying life | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
inside. But mobile phones are banned in prison and Kent MP says that they | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
should face charges. This makes a mockery of the criminal justice | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
system and you can only imagine what it must feel like for this man's | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
victims. There should the strongest possible consequences flowing from | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
this, and his 50% remission should disappear and he should serve his | :02:12. | :02:21. | |
full sentence. Sonny Barker was jailed for eight years for | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
aggravated burglary. On Facebook, he in another post, he said he was very | :02:22. | :02:37. | |
close to getting caught and was going to get rid of his phone. | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
Spokesperson today said that it is a criminal offence to have a mobile | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
phone in prison and that any inmate found with one would be dealt with, | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
severely. The BBC has learned that both men are in the segregation unit | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
of the prison and have lost the right to wear their own clothes. If | :02:55. | :03:03. | |
you see people posting pictures like that, it shows it does not mean that | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
much to them being sent to prison. There are people going in and out | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
and prison is not working, in its present state. This is not the first | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
time prisoners have managed to access banned items behind bars. In | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
2010, it was revealed prison officers were burning thousands of | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
pounds smuggling mobile phones into prisons. Hundreds were seized in | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
Kent and Sussex. This has been a relatively recent entries, but the | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
prisons are taking all kinds of security steps in order to prevent | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
contraband entering prisons, and equally, have provided some | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
facilities equally, have provided some | :03:43. | :03:51. | |
mobile phones are not necessary. It is not yet known how the inmates at | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
Rochester gained access to banned items but they will face a | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
discipline that three hearing at the prison in the next few days. —— | :03:58. | :04:09. | |
disciplinary hearing. They say that they are introducing a tough new | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
resume into prisons and are serious about action on this. The minister, | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
Chris Grayling, is said to be furious. Both men now have no access | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
to television 's and will have visiting rights reduced. The maximum | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
sentence for bringing a mobile phone into prison is two years. Separate | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
to this, they will have a disciplinary hearing deciding | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
whether there sentences should be increased by 42 days. After years of | :04:36. | :04:46. | |
neglect and a catastrophic fire, the bolts were finally broken on the | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
gates of Hastings Pier this morning to signal the start of a £14 million | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
restoration. A compulsory purchase order means the Victorian structure | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
is now owned by the local authority. The "People's Pier", as one | :04:58. | :05:06. | |
councillor put it today. When it's fully opened, it's hoped 45 jobs | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
will be created — ten of them apprenticeships, the council | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
estimates it'll generate £1.2 million for the local economy, and | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
attract 325,000 visitors in the first year. Juliette Parkin is at | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
the pier now. Juliette. It has been a significant day for people in | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
Hastings, and for those who have fought for years to get this pier up | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
and running again. It has been like a noose around the neck of the town | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
for years, but that has finally been broken. The chains are private | :05:31. | :05:40. | |
ownership broken, with pier return to the people. It has taken years of | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
fundraising, campaigning and leave, and now the dream of reopening | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
Hastings Pier has become a reality. To have the pier restored raises the | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
vitality of the town and we hope that it will encourage people to | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
come and invest on Hastings seafront because it has a huge economic | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
benefit as well as a cultural benefit. The campaign to restore it | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
suffered a blow in 2010 when fire destroyed 95% of the upper | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
structure. Few people believe that it could rise from the ashes but the | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
council and enthusiasts secured £11.4 million from the Heritage | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
lottery fund and this brought the pier back. How did Hastings get to | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
the point where the West Pier in Brighton has failed to? It is about | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
community action, starting with a group of community activists, people | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
saying, we need help, this is what we are going to do, and they were | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
like terriers. Much of the money will go towards renovating the great | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
two listed substructure, building a new visitor centre, and turning the | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
existing pavilion into a restaurant. What do people in Hastings want to | :06:50. | :06:59. | |
see on their pier? It'll be good to have a Brighton Pier, in Hastings. | :06:59. | :07:07. | |
Just like Brighton. Just to walk around it and enjoy it. Hastings | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
needs a lot of things but anything that brings more tourism and more | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
things for the local community to do, that would be superb. There will | :07:15. | :07:23. | |
be lots of facilities on here, not just for visitors but also for | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
residents. Once one of the busiest on the south coast, the pier was | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
opened in 1872 as part of the Victorian seaside boom and became a | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
focal point for two was and entertainment. Now, it is hoped that | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
by spring 2015, this tarnished old lady can regain her status. It is | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
hoped that many of the reconstruction jobs will go to local | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
people and Wendy's case are finally removed, people will be able to | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
learn about the heritage of the pier. It was built in the same era | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
as the West Pier in Brighton, and both have suffered fire and neglect, | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
but it is hoped that in two years time, there will be something on | :08:07. | :08:20. | |
this pier for everyone. Coming up: Hundreds of eels are mistakenly | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
killed in the River Stour. The Environment Agency admits it might | :08:23. | :08:34. | |
be their fault. Up to 1,000 more protesters are expected to gather in | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
Balcombe tomorrow and over the next few days, as the campaign against | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
exploration for oil shows no sign at all of losing steam. The campaign | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
"No Dash for Gas" say they're determined to keep up the pressure | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
against fracking in the area, even though the energy company Cuadrilla | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
has announced it's very unlikely to go into full fossil fuel production | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
there. Our Business Correspondent Mark Norman has more. The camp at | :08:53. | :09:02. | |
Balcombe is growing. Protesters lined the roads for hundreds of | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
yards. Many more will travel from across the UK to join in a week—long | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
anti—fracking camp. Tomorrow, dozens, possibly hundreds of | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
protesters will take part in this Reclaim the Power event. It. At the | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
railway station before moving down to the Cuadrilla drilling site. The | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
plan is for a mass of people to congregate at Balcombe station and | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
we expect diverse tactics. We will provide training that some of the | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
locals have asked for, in direct action and other protest tactics. | :09:40. | :09:47. | |
history of this type of action. Last October they shut down the | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
Nottingham power station. In Sussex they say that they will run creative | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
acts of civil disobedience and offer direct action training to | :09:55. | :10:02. | |
protesters. People recognise we cannot go on with our lives as it | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
is, there was no end to energy consumption and car use. We have to | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
say no, we have to stop all of these terrible activities which are | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
creating climate change. For the drilling company Cuadrilla, however | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
many people turn up, the protests can only be allowed to go so far. In | :10:19. | :10:26. | |
terms of protest, we respect the right people protest peacefully, but | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
what is important for us is the safety of our people and the safety | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
of the protesters themselves and the public. If the protesters do things | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
that endanger themselves and the public then we hope that the police | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
stepped in and stop that. The company seems not to be taking any | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
chances. It has been putting in place improved security fencing, | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
ahead of the arrival of the protesters. There will be full | :10:51. | :10:58. | |
coverage of the march tomorrow from Balcombe on BBC where Sussex and on | :10:58. | :11:08. | |
our programme here. —— BBC radio Sussex. Crime on Kent's railways | :11:08. | :11:19. | |
appears to be on the rise — bucking the national trend. Figures obtained | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
by BBC Radio Kent show that over the last 12 months more than 3,500 | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
crimes were logged at Kent stations — a 10% increase on the previous | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
year. Southeastern trains says the rise is down to the fact that more | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
people are reporting crime. The jury in the case of a man from Gillingham | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
accused of killing a father of five has retired to consider its verdict. | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
Paul Scott died following an altercation after a night out with | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
his family in February. Robert Alderman, a 22—year—old barman, | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
denies murder and an alternative count of manslaughter. The | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
Environment Agency has admitted one of its policies to protect our | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
rivers may have backfired, with many eels on the River Stour in Kent | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
being killed by mistake as a result. It's launched an investigation into | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
its own weed cutting programme on the river's banks. Under European | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
law, eels are protected, and as our Environment Correspondent, Yvette | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
Austin, now explains, the agency may now have to rethink its policy | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
altogether. Once a common sight in rivers, European eels are no | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
appetite did species with the numbers having plummeted in recent | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
decades. The environment agency weed cutting programme on the River Stour | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
is doing nothing to help their plight. I came to see how much of | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
the weeds had been cut, and the pontoon across the river to | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
the weeds as it came through, they had scooped it all out, and the | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
problem is that as the weeds flow down, eels go into the weeds and | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
they scoop those out as well and drop them on the bank in the huge | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
pile, and the trouble is, they are trying to get back to the river in | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
30 degrees of hot sun and they are being boiled alive. That is where I | :12:50. | :12:56. | |
found them all dead. About five or six large ones, the rest of them | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
small ones, what we call bootlaces, which realistically are the ones | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
coming upstream to repopulate the rivers and lakes in the country, and | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
these are the ones that have just died. The environment agency has | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
watched an investigation, with the concern being that what has happened | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
here has happened on other stretches of river that have been cleared. If | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
one of them died will have to completely review the maintenance | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
regime. If it means that we have to have more people here sifting | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
through the weed, and putting eels ack, that is exactly what we will do | :13:34. | :13:48. | |
in future. —— eels back. That we'd will eventually end up in cancer | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
brie, will block structures and could cause significant flooding | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
through the city centre. —— in Canterbury. The environment agency | :13:58. | :14:06. | |
says that it will prosecute anyone who breaks the law governing the | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
protection of eels. Ironically, it could be the environment agency that | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
is facing prosecution this time. Our top story tonight: A man from | :14:12. | :14:24. | |
Kent who was jailed for threatening a mother and daughter at knife point | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
is facing disciplinary action tonight, after he apparently boasted | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
about his life behind bars. Sonny Barker, who's from Canterbury, is | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
believed to have uploaded photos to his online profile and bragged of an | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
easy life at a young offenders' institute. Also in tonight's | :14:37. | :14:44. | |
programme: Just 12 months after his debut at the London Olympics, we | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
speak to the Dartford sprinter with his sights set on the World | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
Championships in Moscow. And after a mostly dry but muggy day, we have | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
some heavy rain on the way. Join me later for the forecast. If you have | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
a story you think we should be covering, we would like to hear from | :14:59. | :14:59. | |
you. It's that day in August which many | :14:59. | :15:31. | |
teenagers — and their parents — have been nervously awaiting: A Level | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
results day. Here in the south—east, it's emerged that some universities, | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
like Sussex, have been offering cash incentives to attract the brightest | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
students. Not all our councils have totted up the figures yet — but | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
Brighton and Hove this afternoon declared that more than half of | :15:44. | :15:45. | |
grades achieved by its students declared that more than half of | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
in the A—star to B range. Kent said its results were up "significantly". | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
Medway said they have had the best results ever. We have two reports | :15:52. | :16:00. | |
tonight — Alex Beard reports from the Marlowe Academy in Ramsgate, but | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
first this report from Ian Palmer at Sussex Downs College in Eastbourne. | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
The doors to new world of opportunity open for students in | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
Eastbourne. Vanessa is going to Cambridge, and her sister is going | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
to university in London. I am very pleased. I won't really proud of how | :16:14. | :16:21. | |
I did and how love that work paid off. I want to study history and | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
politics and go into something in future to do with one of those too. | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
The A Level pass rate at Sussex Downs College is 98%. Staff say that | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
students still want to go to university, in spite of the | :16:38. | :16:44. | |
increased costs. What has changed with the introduction of tuition | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
fees is that students are thinking more carefully about their choices | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
and some of them are looking at where it is going to take them. | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
Hannah wants to study medicine. I have done work experience in | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
hospital and have volunteered in a nursing home, weekly, and for my gap | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
year, I will be working part—time as a health care system. Competition | :17:07. | :17:14. | |
for the best students is fierce. Sussex University offers a £1000 | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
cash incentive to young people coming through clearing with three | :17:17. | :17:27. | |
As in science subjects. That in Victor Grammar School in Kent these | :17:27. | :17:36. | |
triplets managed to get mine A—star grades between them securing them | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
all places at Oxbridge. Students were celebrating at Marlowe | :17:42. | :17:55. | |
Academy, success in A Level and B Techs. This has taken a year—long | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
all my friends, it has been long—winded, but I finally did it. | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
For many, their results that will mean that they can go on to | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
university, but others will choose to go buy a different route. I don't | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
think that university is the meet. Maybe a couple of years, but not | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
now. I have got a job at a care home. Not everyone got the results | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
they wanted, but the Academy has seen something of a turnaround. | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
Marlowe Academy came out special measures at the of last month. This | :18:28. | :18:35. | |
time last year, only 55% of students taking three A Levels | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
time last year, only 55% of students that has risen this year, to 79%. | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
The grades will reflect on two years of hard work and a chance to | :18:43. | :18:51. | |
consider the possibilities ahead. You can find out more about results | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
from across the region on our news websites. | :18:55. | :19:04. | |
The sun came out just in time to please the crowds in Eastbourne | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
today, as the town's annual air show got under way. It continues until | :19:09. | :19:19. | |
Sunday. There's been a bit of turbulence in the past few years, | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
after an attempt to charge people for the first time, five years ago, | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
backfired. This year, once again, the show is free, but that means | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
buckets doing the rounds to raise donations. Claudia Sermbezis has | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
spent the day in Eastbourne. Claudia, the tricky issue of funding | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
crops up each year, doesn't it? Yes, it does. Last year, they raised | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
£30,000 from the nations and have a collection buckets around, hoping to | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
raise even more, and they even have sponsors. You can see that we have | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
got the dog display, the Essex dog display team, here, as well as air | :19:51. | :20:00. | |
exhibits. The skydivers have not been able to jump because of the | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
weather, with the cloud being too low, and before the red arrows were | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
due to fly, the sky cleared to this beautiful blue sky, and then the red | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
arrows flew in and it was the most amazing scene. It is this skill, | :20:13. | :20:19. | |
precision and expertise that spectators have been waiting to see, | :20:19. | :20:28. | |
with the Red Arrows flying over Eastbourne seafront. Chris does not | :20:28. | :20:36. | |
fly the planes, he fixes them. We can do the full display, a rolling | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
display of their as clown, and a flat display for low cloud, the only | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
display team in the world that can change the display halfway through, | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
so we are fingers crossed and confident that we can do everything | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
we possibly can to get on display day that we are here. The planes | :20:53. | :21:00. | |
have been looping the loop at Eastbourne Airborne for 20 years. | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
Stella is a wing walker, and this is the show from her point of view. It | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
is like an amazing roller—coaster. It is very windy and it can get | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
chilly at times but you are working hard during your display, waving to | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
everybody on the beach, so it is really good fun. If you loved | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
roller—coaster is, you would love wing walking. The show is free, but | :21:20. | :21:30. | |
over the years it has had problems. In 2008 organisers charged £5 entry | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
fee and the airshow made loss. In 2009, the fee was dropped with | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
warnings that it could be the last show because of lack of funding. It | :21:38. | :21:45. | |
is good value for money in terms of a marketing exercise for Eastbourne, | :21:45. | :21:52. | |
and it is a cost to Eastbourne Council of £78,000, which is less | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
than buying an ice cream powder ratepayer. Seeing Red Arrows up on | :21:58. | :22:06. | |
it the air, it makes me proud to be British. And it is hoped that, if | :22:06. | :22:12. | |
the weather can stay fine, 6000 people will wonder to the edge of | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
the seat, to stand and stare at the skies above. —— the edge of the | :22:15. | :22:23. | |
sea. The dogs are off —— there they go. And if you want to watch the | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
airshow, you can stream it live on the Internet and watch it from | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
anywhere in the world. If you fancy yourself as a bit of a Maverick or | :22:32. | :22:49. | |
Goose, you can watch Top Gun on the Western Lawns on Saturday night. He | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
was the fresh faced teenager from Kent who burst onto the scene at | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
London's Olympics — and only just missed out on a chance to take on | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
Usain Bolt in the 100 metres final. Now, 12 months on, he's back. Adam | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
Gemili's still only 19, and this year the medals in his sights are at | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
the World Championships in Moscow, where he's running in the sprint | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
relay and the 200 metres. The heats start tomorrow — Neil Bell's been | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
weighing up his chances. What an atmosphere for young air show. He is | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
the quickest teenager that Britain has ever produced, winning a dozen | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
medals at age—group championships over the past two seasons. The | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
highlight of his eventful career so far, when he missed out on the 100 | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
metres final at the Olympics in London by a fraction of a second. It | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
was such a good experience. The memories of sitting down and having | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
lunch with the biggest stars in sport, that will never be taken away | :23:42. | :23:50. | |
from me. Usain Bolt was there. It was quite overwhelming but I loved | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
it. Although Adam Gemili has made his biggest impact in the 100 | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
metres, he will become beating in the 200 metres in Moscow and is | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
looking forward to the challenge. —— he will be competing. You don't have | :24:01. | :24:12. | |
just 100 or the 200 specialists, they are very versatile, so that is | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
what I am trying to do at a young age, to get that fitness and | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
experience, and as I mature, hopefully, I can take that into the | :24:19. | :24:25. | |
championships. He had his picture taken with Sprint legends Asafa | :24:25. | :24:32. | |
Powell and Tyson Gay, who have both failed drug test recently. I just | :24:32. | :24:38. | |
try to keep myself to myself and do my own thing. And just try and work | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
forward in that way, in that sense, and whatever happens externally, | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
that is external, but when you are on the start line, you have got to | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
focus on your racing, and we will see lots of other guys coming up and | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
making the finals, with new faces that we did not see last year. At | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
the world championships we are going to see a lot of surprises. Sprinters | :25:00. | :25:07. | |
do not speak until the mid to late 20s, but, at 19, Adam is competing | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
at the highest level and this fast improving. —— sprinters do not | :25:12. | :25:22. | |
peak. And the weather, looking good in Eastbourne this evening, but what | :25:22. | :25:31. | |
else is happening? Earlier today, lots of cloud around, some outbreaks | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
of light, patchy rain and drizzle and it got warm and humid, so | :25:37. | :25:44. | |
temperatures feeling warm in the sunshine. Those south—westerly winds | :25:44. | :25:51. | |
picking up to around 15 miles an hour. Plenty of sunshine this | :25:51. | :25:57. | |
evening, the dry with clear skies, initially. | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
Then we will see that rain tomorrow. Overnight, temperatures remaining | :26:02. | :26:11. | |
muggy, so another uncomfortable night. Initially dry tomorrow. | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
Rather than seeing this rain arriving, some of it will be heavy | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
before it clears and brightens up by the end of the afternoon. Behind | :26:20. | :26:27. | |
that front, it will feel fresher, as it slowly tracks eastwards. We will | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
see outbreaks of rain and heavy cloud cover with temperatures colder | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
by the afternoon. High temperatures of around 18, 19 Celsius. Then it | :26:37. | :26:48. | |
starts, breaks in the cloud with sunshine, but for the most part, | :26:48. | :26:55. | |
grey, overcast and damp. Overnight into Saturday, we have clearing | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
skies, with temperatures dropping to around 15 Celsius. We start the day | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
on Saturday dry and bright, but there was heavy rain going over into | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
Sunday and when that queers, we have a drier picture for Sunday. Lots of | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
sunshine by the afternoon on Saturday, but this rain moving in by | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
Sunday, likely to prove heavy, as we can see from the isobars. Then | :27:19. | :27:27. | |
decent temperatures on Sunday with high temperatures of 21, 22, and the | :27:27. | :27:33. | |
odd, isolated shower, with high pressure building. Thank you very | :27:33. | :27:45. | |
much. That is it from us for now. I will be back at 10:25pm. From the | :27:45. | :27:46. |
