Good afternoon. The coastgu`rd and on BBC One, time for the news | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Good afternoon. The coastgu`rd and the local council are warning | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
visitors to stay away from the cliff edge at Birling gap, after ` series | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
of falls in the cliff face over the last week. On Tuesday, the | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
especially high tide caused a severe fall in the chalk cliffs after a 30 | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
foot crack appeared. A high number of tourists are predicted to visit | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
the area this weekend because of the warm weather. Mark Sanders reports. | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
Some people are prepared to risk it all to get close to the edgd and | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
another person went beyond the safety tape just to take a picture. | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
All this near the spot wherd a massive section of cliff gave way a | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
few days ago. There's still some people who are perilously ndar and I | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
would plead with them, please keep back from the edge, because it is | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
not just themselves that thdy're putting at risk. The Nation`l Trust | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
has put out a warning to kedp people away from the edge, because many | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
more visitors are expected to come to Birling gap during the good | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
weather to see how the coast is being reshaped. We have comd down to | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
see all the erosion. We havd heard about it. People said it was very | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
dramatic. As much has come down in about six weeks as generallx takes | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
seven years, so the difference is quite stunning. But there's nothing | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
we can do, it's nature and that s the way it's going to be. The RNLI | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
is also urging anyone venturing out to any beach next to cliffs to be | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
cautious. If they're down on the beach and there is a rockfall, look | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
out, they're going to be in serious trouble. And that doesn't jtst | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
happen on the Birling gap or the Beachy Head area. That can happen | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
anywhere along the coast. As we know, along the years there have | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
been lots of rockfalls and sadly life has been lost. At Birlhng gap | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
the advice from National Trtst is for people to stay at least five | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
metres away from the cliff ddge Police are continuing their search | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
for a missing Tonbridge man, whose family fear is dead. Kent Police are | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
using radar equipment on thd River Medway after divers failed to find | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
anything yesterday. 25`year`old Kieron Knowlden hasn't been seen | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
since he left a bar after a night out with family and friends a week | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
ago. Police and fire crews have been investigating a chemical sphll on | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
Dover's seafront. A lorry w`s involved in a crash with a car just | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
before 1 o'clock this lunchtime and the blue substance was leakdd. | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
Firefighters used breathing apparatus to clear it up. They say | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
there's no danger to the public The winter storms that hit the country | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
caused the greatest loss of trees in a generation in some areas `ccording | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
to the National Trust, with two sites in the South East badly | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
affected. Specimen trees were damaged or blown over at both | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
Scotney Castle in Kent and Nymans in Sussex. Woodlands, parks and gardens | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
cared for by the trust have seen the worst damage in two decades. The | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
Kent skiing guide Charlotte Evans has helped partially`sighted | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
paralympian Kelly Gallagher to sixth place at her first event at the | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
Winter Olympics. The pair mhssed out on a medal place in the womdn's | :02:55. | :02:57. | |

for the town's rugby club, will both start in the penultimate Six Nations | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
match. Confidence is high in the group and whoever we play, whoever | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
comes off the bench, we've tsually got a good pack out on the field. As | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
ever, evolving from the Irish game, we need to look to gain domhnance. | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
Our scrum creaked a bit and I struggled with the hook of the ball, | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
so there is still things to work on and improve. Football and Brighton | :03:34. | :03:46. | |
got off to a good start agahnst Reading. After that the vishtors | :03:47. | :03:54. | |
managed to equalise. Gillingham and Crawley are level at 0`0. It has | :03:55. | :04:01. | |

seen plenty of sunshine tod`y and tomorrow too there will be `nother | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
glorious spring day for most of us. Tonight it will be clear and dry and | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
that breeze will continue. So it will keep any frost at bay. | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
Temperatures down to five Cdlsius inland. So plenty of sunshine | :04:23. | :04:30. | |
tomorrow. Wall to wall sunshine in many case. We have got that | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
southerly breeze, so coastal areas will stay cool. Temperatures up to | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
16 degrees. Maybe even highdr than that. So feeling very warm hn the | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
sunshine. The sunshine will continue into next week. But there whll be | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
variable amounts of cloud and it will feel cooler. | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
match. -- they are very dusty. Some patchy drizzle to the west of Wales. | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
For the rest of England and Wales, mainly clear skies, but a patchy fog | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
