Good evening. Detectives ard tonight hunting three men who ran off after | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
smashing a suspected stolen car at high speed into the front of a house | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
in Sussex. A fourth man has been arrested. He was trapped in the car | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
in Portslade, near Brighton, this afternoon, and had to be cut free by | :01:30. | :01:38. | |
firefighters. A dramatic scene in a quiet street | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
in old Portslade. Just after lunchtime a car crashed into the | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
front room of this house. You can see the bullies markers on the road | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
where they have highlighted with the vehicle travelled. We understand | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
that it hits the wall and spun, then debris from the wall hit thd first | :01:56. | :02:04. | |
house, and then the vehicle ended up in the front room of number six I | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
was walking back from the shop, and I saw the car screaming down, it was | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
veering off the road. Then `ll of a sudden, it ploughed into th`t house. | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
I rushed up to have a look. There were a couple of police cars up | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
there, and they were pulling the guy out of the car. It was quitd bad. He | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
looked all right, finally enough, but they obviously took him out put | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
him on the floor, and he was on a stretcher. This lady was living in | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
the house and was sitting in the front room. Her son was consoling | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
her, they were to shake in to talk to us. About 1:15pm this afternoon, | :02:38. | :02:46. | |
officers became aware of thd vehicle travelling at an excess spedd. They | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
try to stop the vehicle, and it made from the officers and was a short | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
pursuit ended up in the vehhcle losing control and striking the | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
buildings, as we can see. There are some minor injuries, we're still | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
trying to trace one of the people involved in this incident, but | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
thankfully, no serious injuries The precise circumstances are bding | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
investigated and the issue hs being handled by the IPCC. | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
Mark Norman is an Portslade, it is lucky that nobody was seriotsly | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
injured. Absolutely. That investigation by the IPCC, ht is a | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
matter of routine, officers investigating what happened in that | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
pursuit. But the luckiest pdrson, that lady sitting in her front room | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
was completely unscathed. Hdr son said she wasn't even cut by flying | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
glass. The officers made an arrest and they remain at the scend down | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
the road investigating what exactly happened in this very dramatic | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
incident. Thank you. The Afghan president Hamid Karzai | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
has offered to write to the mother of a Sussex soldier killed hn | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
Helmand Province, expressing his sorrow at her son's death. Ht | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
follows a newspaper story in which he was quoted saying that foreign | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
troops had brought only murder to Afghanistan. He went on to say that | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
it would have been better if British troops had never gone there. Jacqui | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
Janes, from Hove, whose son Jamie was killed in 2009, has acctsed Mr | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
Karzai of "spitting on his grave". Charlie Rose reports. | :04:19. | :04:29. | |
When Jackie was made aware of the Commons, she took it as an hnsult, | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
not only to her son, who was killed in Afghanistan, but also to the 446 | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
other British soldiers who have lost their lives in the country. Now a | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
statement released by the President's office says that he has | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
immense sympathy for the people who lost their lives and wants to send a | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
letter of condolences. You have insulted my son from such a massive | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
height, not just my son, evdry one of them. Please, no, keep your | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
letter. She says that this latest turn of events has reopened old | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
wounds. Her son was killed hn 2 09 on control in Western Helmand. Soon | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
after, she received a letter of condolence from the Prime Mhnister, | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
Gordon Brown, which containdd several spelling mistakes. Hn August | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
of 2012, she called for an dnquiry after claiming that several of her | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
son 's body parts had gone lissing. What went through your mind when you | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
heard these comments? I felt insulted, I felt that he max as well | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
have, and spat on the graves of 447 very brave British servicemdn, | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
really. The president is about to hand over and step down, thd rumour | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
is that he is going to try to be the first president in Afghanistan to | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
stay in the country and try to settle their peacefully. To do that, | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
he is trying to set out fees that he thinks will be acceptable under a | :06:07. | :06:14. | |
success of regime. If he st`ys in Afghanistan, Jackie may nevdr have | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
the opportunity to confront him I would like him to know what it is | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
like to go and kiss your chhld could buy and what you see is not what you | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
gave to his country to help his people. `` kiss your child Cabaye. | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
Since Britain first sent troops to Afghanistan in 2001 there'vd been | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
447 British deaths. Part of the total of 3417 deaths among `ll NATO | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
forces. But in the last six years alone almost 15,000 Afghan civilians | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
are estimated to have been killed and our Correspondent David Loyn in | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
the Afghan capital Kabul saxs that's why Hamid Karzai has been | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
increasingly critical of thd war there. | :06:57. | :07:07. | |
There is a huge sort of grotndswell of opinion that the president is | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
riding the wave of, of concdrn about the number of civilian casu`lties. | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
Last year was the largest ddath toll in Afghanistan in terms of civilian | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
casualties, very few British soldiers died last year will stop | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
that is because they have not been fighting as much as they were. The | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
Afghan army is fighting and many civilians have been dying, `nd many | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
of them have died from air `ttacks from the international commtnity. So | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
there is a groundswell of opinion here that foreign troop 's have not | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
brought the results that thdy wanted. And that is, of course, seen | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
by families in Britain as in gratitude, and it is seen bx many in | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
the British government as in gratitude, so bad feeling | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
increasingly between Presiddnt cars I and the nations that come to help | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
him. `` between President H`mid Karzai and the nations that come to | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
help them. Coming up, and 84`year`old from Kent | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
tells us how she confronted a violent robber who broke into her | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
home. A revolutionary form of heart | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
treatment has been pioneered in Eastbourne today by injecting a tiny | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
heart monitor directly into a patient's chest. The implic`tions | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
are huge, because it's estilated that 2.3 million people in the UK | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
have coronary heart disease in the UK. 200 a day die of heart | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
complications. More than 22,000 people have heart monitors fitted | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
every year to help diagnose problems. Traditionally that's | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
involved an operation under general anaesthetic. But the new system is | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
much simpler and could eventually be performed by GP's under loc`l | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
anaesthetic. Helen Drew has our exclusive report. | :08:52. | :09:03. | |
Good afternoon, how are you? And irregular heartbeat means that David | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
has two take care. I always cycle, and if I do have an attack, when I | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
am riding my bike, that can be quite Matic and can stop me, it c`n slow | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
me down. I feel very unwell. This afternoon, David became the first | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
person in the south`east to have an injectable heart monitor to keep an | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
eye on his condition. It took place at Eastbourne district General | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
Hospital. The site monitor hs the size of some of the ones typically | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
used at the moment, where is the one that David is getting is a lot | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
smaller, barely the size of a couple of matchsticks. This takes just two | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
minutes and instead of a full on operation, a tiny incision hs made | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
and the monitor is put in in a similar way to an injection. Once | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
inside, the device gets to work It sits close to the heart and is | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
programmed to listen to the hard problems of that particular patient. | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
If that defect occurs, the device is triggered and sends a recording to a | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
small box in the patient's house. That box since the recording through | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
satellite to the medical professionals where it can be | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
immediately assessed. Often, symptoms occur when they ard not in | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
hospital and they are out doing something else and they cannot | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
capture the traces. In this instance, we can monitor thd | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
patient's 24/7, and if they have a problem, they can let us know, and | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
if there is a problem they `re unaware of, we can let them know. | :10:32. | :10:43. | |
And the verdict of the patidnt, awake throughout? Most of the time, | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
I did not feel anything, so I is early recommended. It is just on | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
trial at the moment, but it is expected that it can be performed by | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
GPs in the future without the patient having to go to hospital. | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
The Kent Police and Crime Commissioner Ann Barnes has hit back | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
at criticism of a mobile police unit for people in rural areas. Ht's | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
emerged that there's been ldss than one visitor per stop on average at | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
the so`called police contact points. They've made more than 1,500 stops, | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
but attracted only 1,300 visitors. Ann Barnes says there was no cost in | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
buying them and they providd a police presence in local | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
communities. 30 firefighters have been t`ckling a | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
house fire today near Dartford. It started this morning in the roof of | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
the house in Farningham and six fire engines were sent to the scdne at | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
its height. The cause is now under investigation. 30 firefightdrs have | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
been tackling a blaze at a house in Dartford. | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
An Army bomb disposal team has been sent to woodland in Tunbridge Wells | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
to investigate reports that an unexploded bomb's been found. They | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
were called to Brokes Woods off Powdermill Lane this afternoon, and | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
have cordoned the area off. South East commuters are facing | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
severe disruption on the rahlways and the underground tonight and | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
tomorrow. The wet weather's caused landslips that have closed the rail | :11:58. | :11:59. | |
line between Battle and Robertsbridge and a 48`hour tube | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
strike in protest at planned ticket office closures is due to bdgin at | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
nine o'clock tonight. In a moment, we will speak to Tom | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
had words in London, but first, Lucinda Adams is in Hastings. | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
Lucinda, the bad news is, another storm is on the way? Yes, more heavy | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
rain coming and winds of up to 0 mph, which will bring more lisery | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
for the commuters, I'm afrahd. From 11pm tonight and into the rtsh hour | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
tomorrow, southeastern will operate a blanket 40 mph speed restriction | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
across the network, expect on the high`speed services, which will | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
cause disruption and delays. They say it is necessary because the bad | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
weather well increase the rhsk of fallen trees, flooding and further | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
landslips and trains have to go slower, so stopping distancds are | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
shorter if the driver spot they has erred. `` spots a has erred. | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
Tom Edwards joins us from Great Portland Street Tube station in | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
central London. What impact will the tube strike have on South E`st | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
commuters tonight and tomorrow? It is not looking good for comluters | :13:10. | :13:11. | |
from Kent. If you look one of the main lines that they use, the | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
Jubilee line runs 32 trains per hour, it will be down to 12 trains | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
per hour, so it would be extremely easy, and obviously, that whll have | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
a knock`on effect on other services like the bus services. Also, some of | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
these lines will not run into the centre of town, some of the stations | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
will be closed, so it is not looking good for the commuters coming into | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
London tomorrow. Tom Edwards in London and Ltcinda | :13:42. | :13:43. | |
Adam in Hastings, thanks. And to keep up to date with the | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
latest weather and travel shtuation, you can tune in to your loc`l BBC | :13:48. | :13:51. | |

An 84`year`old woman who confronted a robber in her own home has | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
described him as "scum of the earth". Rose Overland was hht in the | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
face and suffered broken ribs during her ordeal in Leysdown on the Isle | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
of Sheppey. She was rescued by members of her family coming round | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
for Sunday lunch, who held the intruder down until the polhce | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
arrived. He's now been jaildd for eight years, as Simon Jones reports. | :14:17. | :14:24. | |
It began with a knock at thd door, a scruffy man asking to sign ` | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
petition. She said no, and next thing he climbed through thd window. | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
I said to him, what do you want I did swear, but I will not swear | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
here. He said, I want money, I said you have come to the wrong house. | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
But with that, he pushed me onto the sofa and demanded that he w`nts | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
?1000. I said, well, so do H! He went on and on, and he snatched the | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
rings off my fingers and thd earrings, but the intruder did not | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
stop there. After holding hdr down and smashing open a box to reveal | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
?300 of savings, the intruddr then dragged her into the bedrool. He | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
threw a jaw at her, it fractured ribs. I said, you are wasting your | :15:18. | :15:25. | |
time. With that, he hit me. And I said, big man hating and | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
84`year`old, aren't you? Wh`t do you think of him? Scum of the e`rth She | :15:31. | :15:40. | |
was rescued by her family, her grandchildren held him down. The | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
next thing, he was on the grass at the front. The police descrhbed his | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
behaviour as cowardly and disgusting. She will not st`y here | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
on her own. She is more nervous than she was, she is very nervous, she | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
keeps the door unlocked mord than she used to. She is more conscious | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
now of who she answers the door to. But Rose says she would not hesitate | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
to confront an intruder agahn. This is our top story tonight.. | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
Detectives are hunting thred men who ran off after smashing a suspected | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
stolen car into the front of a house in Sussex, following a high`speed | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
car chase. A fourth man has been arrested. He was trapped in the car | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
in Portslade this afternoon, and had to be cut free by firefightdrs. | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
Also in tonight's programme... How millions in fines imposed after a | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
banking scandal could now hdlp veteran soldiers in the south east. | :16:41. | :16:44. | |

Clooney's latest film stars Camber Sands. | :16:48. | :17:02. | |
A campaign to save bingo halls from closure by cutting the amount of tax | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
they have to pay is being b`cked by two Kent MPs. Mark Reckless and | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
Laura Sandys are backing thd Boost Bingo campaign, which is calling for | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
the tax cut amid concern th`t bingo halls are closing at the rate of one | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
a month, with the loss of htndreds of jobs. Our Political Editor Louise | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
Stewart has tonight's Speci`l Report. | :17:24. | :17:36. | |
Eight and five, 85. At this bingo hall, they watch their numbdrs | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
carefully waiting for a full house, but the bingo Association w`rns that | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
when it comes to taxes, the numbers do not add up, simply. | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
Bingo halls' profits are taxed at 20%, compared with a 15% rate for | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
bookmakers. And 12% on the price of a lottery ticket. The industry is | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
warning the higher tax rate is costing jobs. We need to modernise | :17:55. | :18:05. | |
facilities, we need to grow our facilities. We need to provhde our | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
customers with a modern leisure offer, and to do that, we nded to | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
invest, and at the moment, the current tax regime does not allow us | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
to do that. Bingo has changdd a lot since it was played on Brighton | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
Pier. The smoking ban and the rise on online sites have contributed to | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
the fall in the number of vdnues, but the local MP believes that the | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
higher tax has not helped. H do not see how it should be taxed `t a | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
higher rate. The people that you get in the local bingo halls in Thanet, | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
you know their families, thdy are older people, they are not what you | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
would call heavy gamblers in anyway whatsoever! The atmosphere hsn't | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
like that at all. That is a sentiment played by these players. | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
It is a gambling, whatever xou do it is gambling, the bookies, bhngo so | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
why should bingo be twice as much as everything else? People will not | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
coming to be a big plaza th`t kind of thing. Yes`macro people will not | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
come into bingo because of that sort of thing. The government saxs that | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
bingo makes an important contribution to many communhties, | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
but at a time when there ard lots of cuts, reducing bingo duty would have | :19:27. | :19:36. | |
to be seriously considered. Up to ?40 million raised in bank | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
fines is to go towards helphng war veterans in the South East. The | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
money from Libor fines, which were imposed on banks for illegally | :19:45. | :19:46. | |
fixing their lending rates, will help charities build new holeless | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
hostels and half`way houses for veterans who've fallen on h`rd | :19:50. | :19:57. | |
times. Piers Hopkirk reports. When John's side began to f`il, the | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
former RAF chef from Polegate feared that his life would degener`te also. | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
The charity blind veterans TK gave him new aims. They take you in, they | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
show you how to do all of the things that you imagine you cannot do. And | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
then they kick you out again afterwards, with so much confidence, | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
that it is quite remarkable. And it is charities like this that are set | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
to cash in. The veterans Minister announces the new fund on a tour | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
today. The money taken from the fines handed edge to bankers for the | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
so`called LIBOR scandal. Thd reputation for bankers has been | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
damaged, so out of that naughtiness, something really good comes out of | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
it is, something which is vdry good news for everybody. What has been | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
dumped as the naughty bankers fund has been given to veterans groups | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
across the region and each can read for a slice of the ?40 millhon. Mark | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
from Seoul team was an engineer in the Royal choral singer rulds. He | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
lost his sight in an accident at work. The charity gave him back his | :21:07. | :21:14. | |
appetite for life. When surd this will make a massive difference in | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
its own right, but you can `lways say that you can do more. They can | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
always do more. This Royal dngineer was given accommodation herd at the | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
age of 96 as. People come hdre on holiday and there is a bar, the | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
error is... It is a much better placed than an old peoples home | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
where you find old ladies shtting down half asleep all the tile. With | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
a new dedicated fund born to the sins of the city, it is hopdd a new | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
generation of veterans can be helped to take on the battles that they | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
face when they leave the military. Onto football, and Gillingh`m are | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
hoping for a rare away win `t bottom club Stevenage this evening. Gills | :21:59. | :22:04. | |

Port Vale at the weekend, which means a start for in`form striker | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
Adebeyo Akinfenwa who scored twice in Saturday's 3`2 win. | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
He's one of the biggest namds in Hollywood. But even George Clooney | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
needs a helping hand to makd a movie and he called on East Sussex for | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
help on his latest project. Scenes from his new World War II fhlm The | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
Monuments Men were filmed at Camber Sands, and gorgeous George raised | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
temperatures even higher last summer when he stayed in Rye. Mark Sanders | :22:31. | :22:40. | |
has more. The Nazis had been stealing art out | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
of Warsaw, Paris... We need to find what is missing. It was signed by | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
Roosevelt. It is a movie with tastes are cast, monuments men is `bout an | :22:53. | :22:59. | |
Allied unit trying to save cultural treasures in the dying days of the | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
Second World War. But the bhggest names in Hollywood had a little help | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
from Sussex, camber Sands of all places has a supporting rold in the | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
movie. It features as one of the Normandy beaches and George Clooney | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
stormed ashore here just close to Ponton 's holiday park. I think that | :23:15. | :23:23. | |
went well. The local film offers that have to arrange the shoot at | :23:24. | :23:25. | |
first did not realise he wotld be coming. I was told we were waiting | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
for the director, and they just named him as George, and I said | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
George who? They said Georgd Clooney, of course! So, when he | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
came, shook my hand, it was something that I will treastre for | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
ever, actually. Nearby in the right, they were consumed by Mania last | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
summer as George Clooney st`yed here during filming. The general public, | :23:53. | :24:03. | |
there was a fantastic buzz hn town, and obviously, the bar was like | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
bigger dilly circus will stop Matt Damon walking the streets whth a | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
baseball hat, people were not quite sure if it was him or not and were | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
turning around. It was quitd funny. The Monuments Men has been ` labour | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
of love for George Clooney, he stars, corroded and directed the | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
film. It is based on an amazing fascinating true event. Camdra | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
sounds and George Clooney are not often spoken of in the same | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
sentence, so what true into this location. `` camber Sands. Ht was | :24:38. | :24:45. | |
very difficult to match the location anywhere else, the other matches | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
were further north, which is not somewhere we wanted to travdl. Its | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
proximity to London was good. The wealth of the other locations we | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
could find in the area was good also. It will also feature hn a new | :24:56. | :25:03. | |
movie about Dickens, so we light be grown accustomed to seeing this | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
golden beach on the big scrden. Why does that not ever happdn where | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
I live? ! It is only George Clooney down the road! Now, the weather | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
Turning wet and windy. As they go into tonight, the wind will pick up. | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
Outbreaks of heavy rain. Warnings from the Met Office that cost the | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
wind could reach up to 70 mph on the south coast. Problems assochated | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
with that with travel disruption and potentially, or flooding. And on the | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
south coast, some large wavds. By contrast, relatively settled earlier | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
today. This is what is headhng our way, but relatively settled with | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
sunshine also. That cover in the afternoon, and top temperattres of | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
eight agrees. Increasingly windy, the wind picking up to 25 mph. | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
Stronger gusts, and that will continue into tonight. Some heavy | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
rainfall. Inland, average whnd speeds of 25 to 30 mph. The | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
unsettled weather means temperatures staying relatively mild dropping to | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
five degrees or six degrees. For Wednesday, unsettled with lots of | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
cloud cover. Heavy, persistdnt rainfall through the afternoon and | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
certainly not a pleasant dax. Average wind speeds of 30 mph with | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
gusts on the south coast. 50, 6 , possibly 70 mph. Very blustdry | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
inland with temperatures re`ching eight or nine degrees. Signhficantly | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
colder than that, it will fdel. Outbreaks of rain then in the night, | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
the wind will ease off, still blustery, and then another | :26:51. | :26:52. | |
relatively mild night with temperatures not much below are than | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
the daytime values. `` not luch lower. The heavy rain through the | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
week, warnings from the Met Office, we could see up to 20 millilitres of | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
rain `` millimetres of rain. Hopefully, I dry picture for | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
Thursday, this rain pushing away quicker than expect that, so a wet | :27:14. | :27:20. | |
and windy day. Nine, 10 degrees feeling much colder than th`t. | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
Eventually, clearing through on Friday with more warnings for heavy | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
rainfall during the morning. Heading for the weekend, more unsettled | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
Friday looking mostly dry. The rain is not what we need! We had | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
enough of it now. We are back at 8pm and 10:24pm. | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
Have a lovely evening, goodbye. | :27:42. | :27:44. |
