Lofty ambitions for Brighton's seafront as the council approves | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
plans to borrow ?36 million to build the i360. | :00:45. | :00:53. | |
Can't I just have one morning without you making a fuss? | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
Making a drama of things. The former EastEnders star on a mission to help | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
her pupils build confidence and self`esteem. | :01:02. | :01:09. | |
Good evening. A man who lost his ?25,000 redundancy payment on | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
high`stakes betting machines is tonight joining calls for them to be | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
banned. Speaking exclusively to BBC South | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
East, Martin Power from Ramsgate said it was like being addicted to a | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
drug. Campaigners claim gamblers in Kent and Sussex lost more than 65 | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
million on fixed`odds betting terminals last year. However, | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
bookmakers insist the machines are not in themselves addictive, and are | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
bringing in new regulations to help combat problem gambling. | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
After losing his job, Martin Power time and redundancy money on his | :01:45. | :01:53. | |
hands. On a bad day, he would lose ?1200 in a single session. To be | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
dragged in for a crack cocahne hit, I found it uncontrollable. When your | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
money has gone, you can not wait to get on it gain. You cannot sleep, | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
you go home and you are thinking of getting it back again the ndxt day, | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
but it does not work that w`y. The machines and largely to bet ?10 in | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
22nd. The Campaign for Fairdr Gambling claims and gamblers lost | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
?30 million last year. In Stssex, the loss is 29 million. Hotspots | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
include Medway, Barnet and Brighton. This is what happens when you allow | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
casino gaming in accessible areas, you speak them up and make ht a | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
solitary activity on a machhne, and people can stake up to ?200 every 20 | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
seconds, a lot more than anx other fruit machine. The maximum stake | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
needs to come down to ?2 of. The machines can provoke strong | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
reactions. The industry says the scale of losses is being | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
exaggerated, based on crude estimate. Most people bet ?7 55 and | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
play for 20 minutes. You have to keep it in perspective, we have 8 | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
million customers, the majority that safely and responsibly. Martin Power | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
is in no doubt. Get rid of them completely, they are as dangerous as | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
any drug or any addiction. Hf it works you and you are not brave | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
enough to stop, you will end up with nothing. Martin knows some will say | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
he has got himself to blame, but he wants temptation taken away from | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
others. Why has Martin Power decided to | :03:47. | :03:47. | |
speak out now? This is one of the many bookmakers | :03:48. | :03:59. | |
that he used to frequent, btt not any more, because he has now got a | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
voluntary ban from every bookies in Thanet. He is speaking out not | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
because he wants sympathy, but because he wants to warn others The | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
kids say they have introducdd a new code, you can set a maximum level of | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
what you want to spend or the length of time you want to play. Btt Martin | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
wants to see reduced steaks or even a ban. Tonight, the governmdnt is | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
indicating it does not plan to go down that route. | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
Police in Sussex are investhgating a series of racist tweets sent to a | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
female politician in Brighton. Purna Sen, who lives in the city `nd is | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
Labour's parliamentary candhdate for the Brighton Pavilion seat, was | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
repeatedly abused on the social`networking site Twitter last | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
week. Campaigners have renewed calls for tougher laws to protect victims | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
of online abuse. She shares comments and ide`s on | :04:48. | :04:59. | |
social networking sites, but last week, bonus and found herself the | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
subject of a barrage of rachst tweet from a stranger. The person told her | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
that she should go back to her own country, questioned why she was | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
still here and her right to remain in the country. You put your head | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
above the parapet and you go into public life, you expect somd people | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
to attack you, and as a brown skinned person, that is going to be | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
part of what I am going to face but it does not make it pleasant. You | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
expect it, but you feel, my goodness, is this still going on? | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
Celebrities and politicians are targets. Jonathan Ross's wife | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
deleted her account this wedk after he became the target of abusive | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
messages. Two people were j`iled in January after sending a femhnist | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
writer death threats by Twitter The MP for Walthamstow received rape | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
threats, leading to increashng pressure on the side to revhew its | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
procedures for reporting abtse. There should be more legisl`tion, we | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
believe that social media ottlets should produce an external `udit to | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
measure the cyber`bullying. What happened as a result, and what | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
action was taken. That should be publicly available. The MP has taken | :06:20. | :06:28. | |
steps to stop further tweet from the same account. The police ard | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
investigating. The identity and whereabouts of the offender is not | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
straightforward online. Those who have fallen victim feel mord should | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
be done. The harm, hurt and pain it causes should not be belittled, I | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
would not advocate anybody `ccept this sort of abuse. | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
In a moment. Blazing a trail for the new | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
apprenticeship scheme, our ferry companies welcome the latest | :06:53. | :06:53. | |
initiative. In an effort to tackle childhood | :06:54. | :07:05. | |
obesity, Medway Council is to start a public consultation over proposals | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
to ban takeaways opening ne`r schools. The area has one of the | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
highest rates of obesity in the country, more than one in fhve | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
ten`year`olds are classed as obese. After the idea was first mooted a | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
year ago, the council wants to know what residents thing about tsing | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
planning laws to stop new ottlets opening within 400 metres of | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
schools. A lunchtime takeaway for thdse | :07:28. | :07:40. | |
pupils, but soon, schools could find themselves surrounded with `n | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
exclusion zone, banning new fast food outlets. Not a great idea, we | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
should be able to make our own decisions, and it will not be | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
helpful for local businesses. The only people who are allowed are our | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
age, you are old enough to decide what you should eat. The owners will | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
lose out on revenue, and we will lose out on our chip shop! The | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
proposed move comes after it emerges 20% of children in Medway are obese. | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
Planning policy could be altered to make it harder to put new t`keaways | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
near schools or in places whth an already high volume of fast food | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
shops. Medway Council will `pprove a month`long public consultathon on | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
the idea. Where there is a great entity of fast food outlets close to | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
schools, there is a greater incidence of obesity. We wotld not | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
consider consulting on it if we did not think it would work. Kings | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
Rochester is yards from the town's High Street. It is an interdsting | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
idea, you look at most teen`gers, they are capable of making choices | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
for themselves. Prohibition very rarely works. It is an extrdme | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
measure. If the pupils are lature enough, they can make the ddcisions | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
themselves. Whether it is the right thing to do to focus on restricting | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
businesses rather than educ`ting young people first and stopping them | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
from eating the wrong things is a question. Medway Council insists the | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
measure would be just one p`rt of ongoing efforts to tackle the issue | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
of obesity. The public now look set to have their say. | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
You've spent the day in Medway, what have the takeaway businesses there | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
had to say about this? They consider themselves to be the fall gty is in | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
this debate. I have spoken to the Federation of Small Businesses in | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
Kent, they think that proposals like this Draconian. They urged the | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
council to remember positivd impact that these businesses have on the | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
High Street, the money they generate and the jobs that they create. The | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
council are adamant this will have an effect, it will reduce obesity, | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
and they compare it to publhc of campaigns like the smoking ban and | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
seat belts. A powerful Parliamentary colmittee | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
says Sussex Police made a sdrious mistake when it issued an MP and | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
former minister with a warnhng notice relating to a speech he made | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
in the House of Commons. Thd Commons Privileges Committee found the force | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
to be in contempt of Parlialent for issuing a Police Information Notice | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
to the East Worthing and Shoreham MP Tim Loughton, who told the committee | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
the force's actions had caused considerable stress. | :10:26. | :10:36. | |
There has been a long enquiry, it has taken up a lot of time `nd | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
taxpayers' resources, and the police have been found in serious breach of | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
parliamentary privilege, a serious right to make sure that MPs can go | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
about their job without fear or favour. There are serious qtestions | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
to be answered, I hope therd will be a review. | :10:55. | :10:56. | |
A 21`year`old man has been `rrested at Gatwick Airport on suspicion of | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
receiving terrorist training abroad. The suspect was held after he got | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
off a flight from Istanbul this afternoon. He was held on stspicion | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
of an offence under Section Six of the Terrorism Act. | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
The controversial multi`million`pound i360 project for | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
Brighton seafront has been given the green light. In the last hotr, | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
councillors agreed to doubld the amount of money they want to borrow | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
from the Government. Planning permission for the 600`foot`tall | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
tower was given seven years ago but the project hit the buffers when a | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
major private backer pulled out last autumn. | :11:28. | :11:35. | |
We would not have done this if we did not think this was a very good | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
option. My view is that the financial risk is greater if we did | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
nothing, because the structtres are coming to the end of their life we | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
have got a repair bill, this is the only option on the table th`t will | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
generate money. This looks as if it is actu`lly | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
going to happen, when are wd likely to see the i360 being built? As far | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
as the developers and counchllors are concerned, this was the last | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
hurdle, they hope that work will get under way in the next three months | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
and that the tower will be open by June 2016. What was agreed today was | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
a loan of ?36 million from ` central government pot, administered by the | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
council. They hope it will bring up to ?25 million the local economy, | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
humming from the estimated 750, 00 visitors it is expected to bring in | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
every year. But the scheme still has its critics. Yes, it was voted | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
through here in the council chamber and our ago, it split the | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
Conservative group and the Labour Party are posted. They disptte that | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
the visitor numbers can be maintained. Even if it is money | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
coming from the central govdrnment, they say, it is still taxpaxers | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
money that is at risk. This is our top story tonight. | :12:58. | :13:06. | |
A man who lost ?25,000 on hhgh stakes betting machines has joined | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
calls for them to be banned. Martin Power said it was like being | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
addicted to a drug. Campaigners say gamblers here lost more than six to | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
?5 million on fixed odds betting terminals last year. | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
Also in tonight's programme. Charlton are one victory aw`y from a | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
Wembley semifinal, two victories away from the FA Cup final. | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
Later, I will tell you about my new drama courses here in Kent. | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
If you have a story you think we should be covering on South East | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
Today, we'd like to hear from you. You can call us on 0845 300 37 7, | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
or send us an e`mail to [email protected]. Wd are | :13:44. | :13:46. | |

Ferry companies in Kent are welcoming an announcement that ship | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
ratings, doing roles in enghneering, navigation, catering and others | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
will be included as one of the Governments Trailblazer | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
apprenticeships. It's billed as a new kind of apprenticeship training | :14:05. | :14:06. | |
to meet standards required by employers. Last year, half ` million | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
people started an apprenticdship. That's up more than 200,000 on a | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
couple of years ago. The Government hopes that by 2018 all new | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
apprenticeships will be Trailblazers. | :14:18. | :14:32. | |
A young man learning his tr`de on an apprenticeship scheme aboard a | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
cross`channel ferry. In this case, the teacher is also his father. It | :14:39. | :14:47. | |
is an easier way to learn, people learning in the classrooms `re not | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
doing the job, but if you are doing the job, you will be better at it. | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
In this job, you need to be hands`on, you cannot learn hn a | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
classroom. You need to be ott here with the crew that you are working | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
with. This is one of the colpanies offering Trailblazer | :15:08. | :15:15. | |
apprenticeships. I am trainhng to become an able seaman. He w`s at | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
Downing Street today with the Chancellor, he talked about the new | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
scheme. This is the employers getting involved with us, s`ying, | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
this is what you need, which means a lot to the apprentices, you know | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
what you are learning is relevant to the jobs that you are doing. | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
Apprenticeship schemes are ` great alternative to college, not | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
everybody wants to go to college, this is an agility to get into a | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
career for life, to learn a new skill and to get yourself onto a | :15:48. | :15:57. | |
fantastic career. Brandon hopes the apprenticeships will help hhm | :15:58. | :15:59. | |
achieve his dream of captaining a ferry within a decade. The | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
government hopes it will increase the quality of apprenticeshhps and, | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
as they put it, but employers in the driving seat. | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
Over the last few years, a fishmonger's in East Sussex has been | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
steadily building its reput`tion for providing really good fish. Now all | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
the hard work put in by Veasey and Sons in Forest Row could be | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
recognised with a national `ward. They pride themselves on getting the | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
freshest produce they can, `nd judges, including the formidable | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
MasterChef critic Charles C`mpion, have short listed them for BBC Radio | :16:33. | :16:34. | |
4's Food Retailer of the Ye`r. They are sticking their nosds into | :16:35. | :16:49. | |
this fishy business, the judges are here from BBC Radio 4 to sed whether | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
these young sons should be named food retailer of the year. One of | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
those who will decide is Ch`rles Campion from MasterChef, he thinks | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
this fishmonger 's is doing a great job, as he believes we have a tricky | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
relationship with seafood. Hn our hearts, we crave having it battered | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
or as a fish finger. It is ` pity, properly prepared fish is one of the | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
great treat. We know we shotld be eating better things, this hs a | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
better thing. That is why fhshmonger 's are imported. Easy and Sons has | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
become an institution here. But the successful business has been far | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
from immune to the recent b`d weather. Fewer fish being c`ught | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
means higher prices. Increases of between 30 to 40%. The less there is | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
of one Fish, the more peopld will pay at market, which dictatds our | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
price. People noticed a price rise, but they were understanding. | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
Sometimes, my husband will say, wow, and I say, divide that by two or | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
four, if we are having people for a meal, it is no more expensive than | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
meat. The business has its own boat, but the bad weather h`s | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
limited its days at sea, and the boat is currently out of thd water. | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
Since Christmas, it has been hard to get a decent amount of a regular | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
supply of fish, the prices have gone up, because we have been having to | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
purchase fish from Iceland `nd Norway. The only way is up, things | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
are going to get better. Thd good weather lifts the spirits, `nd if it | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
continues, it will help the business. A food award would not | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
help's not hurt, either. And you can hear more about the | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
judges' visit on BBC Radio 4's You And Yours programme on Frid`y, after | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
midday. She's the former EastEnder whose | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
on`screen death was one of the programme's most talked`abott | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
storylines for years. Now, Cheryl Fergison, who played Heather Trott, | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
is putting her Albert Squard experiences to good use, setting up | :18:55. | :18:56. | |
her own drama school in Kent. What can I get you? She bec`me a | :18:57. | :19:15. | |
household name playing Heather Trott, but today, Cheryl Fergison | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
was being upstaged by the ptpils here. I'd used to be on East | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
Enders, accessible to those less well off. I | :19:23. | :19:58. | |
would live to give those pl`ces free to people who can not afford to go. | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
At the moment, I am tweeting like mad, I cannot tell you, to try and | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
get companies on board and individuals who would like to | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
sponsor a dog person for a week `` sponsor a young person. I al from a | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
family who cannot afford expensive courses, and this would givd me a | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
lot of help. This student ndeds an extension on her feminist poetry | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
essay. Cheryl has got some `dvice for the next generation of stars. Be | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
prepared to be knocked down 90% of the time and be prepared to get up | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
again and say, I will go to the next audition, and I will keep going I | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
will find out what it is yot want, and I will give it to you. She is | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
still putting smiles on facds. Kent's golden girl Lizzy Yarnold, | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
who won Britain's only gold medal at the Winter Olympics, has bedn | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
granted an open`top bus par`de in her honour. The parade for the | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
25`year`old skeleton athletd will take place on Friday 21st M`rch | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
beginning in Sevenoaks and dnding in her home village of West Kingsdown. | :21:08. | :21:14. | |
And after Lizzy was given the honour of flag bearing at the Wintdr | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
Olympics closing ceremony, the South East is to get another flag bearer, | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
this time at the Paralympic Games in Sochi. 15`year`old Millie Knight, | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
who is Britain's youngest`ever Paralympian, will carry the flag at | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
the opening ceremony tomorrow. The visually`impaired Canterburx | :21:30. | :21:31. | |
schoolgirl will be competing in the skiing. | :21:32. | :21:40. | |
This morning, I was told I had a meeting, I was not sure what it was | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
about at all. I thought, and I in trouble? I was in the meeting and | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
they were like, as you might be aware, the opening ceremony is | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
tomorrow, and we would like you to be our flag bearer. It was `mazing! | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
Quite a facial expression! Charlton Athletic are just one | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
victory away from a Wembley semifinal, ` and two wins from the | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
FA Cup final itself. Over 5,000 fans, many from the South E`st, will | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
be going to Sheffield United on Sunday for their quarterfin`l tie. | :22:09. | :22:17. | |
The shorts were back here and the commentators less passionatd, | :22:18. | :22:24. | |
perhaps, but Charlton's 1947 FA Cup success remains a high point. The | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
trophy retains its indefinable magic to this day. I am frightened to | :22:29. | :22:36. | |
touch it! There is a big gale to negotiate before we can talk about | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
Wembley or the semifinals. Ht is a tough game. But I think it hs a | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
wonderful competition, I always have done. People of my age and older, | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
you grew up on that game, the showpiece game of the season. The | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
Charlton players have struggled for much of this season and are aware | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
how important victory on Sunday would be. It would be huge. This | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
club has been through the mhll in the last five, ten years, coming out | :23:04. | :23:11. | |
of the Premier League and down to League One. We are on the w`y back | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
now, and it would be a reward to all the fans for their loyalty. It is 67 | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
years since Charlton last triumphed in the FA Cup final. It still | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
matters, but only if they avoid relegation. I would not want to see | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
Charlton go down under any circumstances, that includes the | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
cup. I was there in 1947, I was 16. I enjoyed it, although it w`s not a | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
brilliant game. It is an important cup, definitely. It is big, | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
moneywise. We realise that. But at the moment, we are down the bottom | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
of the league, and these gales have to be put in hand. It may bd some | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
time before Charlton win thd cup again, but a trip to Wemblex is | :24:01. | :24:08. | |
definitely on the cards. You would not have thought this a | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
few weeks ago, but we have had the hottest day of the year so far, and | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
it has been a really lovely. Sunny, warm, dry. | :24:17. | :24:18. | |
Yes, we were the warmest pl`ce in the country. We saw 15.5 degrees in | :24:19. | :24:30. | |
Gravesend. All of us have h`d sunshine and a warm afternoon. The | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
warmest temperature of the xear so far. Over the next couple of days, | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
cloud around tomorrow, but hnto next week, this area of high pressure. | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
That means we will see lots of welcome dry weather, very w`rm | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
sunshine, some frosty starts, but by the afternoon, it will be clear blue | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
skies. Earlier, lots of cle`r blue sky. A bit more cloud cover as we | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
went through the afternoon, but on the whole, it has been very pleasant | :25:01. | :25:01. | |
indeed. The wind picked up a little bit As | :25:02. | :25:17. | |
we go into tonight, initially, clearer skies, we start to see a bit | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
more cloud cover towards thd early hours of tomorrow morning, but | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
mostly, we stay dry. It is puite a mild night. The temperatures hold up | :25:25. | :25:32. | |
along the coast. As we start the day tomorrow, cloud cover, and ` week | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
weather front, which clears. Behind it, high pressure builds, whth some | :25:38. | :25:45. | |
clearer skies. Quite a mild and cloudy start tomorrow, the rain is | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
patchy and light, clearing through by the afternoon. Behind it, quite | :25:50. | :25:51. | |
similar temperatures to tod`y. The south`westerly breeze. @s we go | :25:52. | :26:06. | |
from Friday over into Saturday, the clearer sky again. The tempdratures | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
are not particularly cold. Ht holds up along the coast. As we start | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
Saturday, a bit more cloud cover around, but the high pressure is | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
going to build, and by the afternoon, lots of sunshine. The | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
wind is often as well. The temperature could reach 15 or 1 | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
degrees. A clearer sky means that as we go into Sunday, it is a cold | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
night. As we go through the day on Sunday, lots of sunshine from the | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
word go. It will be a warm `t a warm day than Saturday. Potentially a bit | :26:43. | :26:50. | |
of cloud from Sunday into Monday, but as we head through the week | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
lots of sunshine, a cold st`rt to the day, but lots of sunshine, it | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
will be warm. You cannot argue with that! | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
The top national and local stories. Theresa May has announced a public | :27:06. | :27:13. | |

A Kent man who lost ?25,000 on high stakes betting machines has joined | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
calls for them to be banned. Martin Power said it was like being | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
addicted to a drug. In an effort to tackle childhood | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
obesity, Medway Council will start a public consultation over proposals | :27:34. | :27:35. | |
to ban takeaways from opening near schools. | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
