Good evening. for the news where you are.

:00:00.:00:08.

The parents of a teenage girl who died in hospital say they can't

:00:09.:00:11.

grieve properly because mistakes made by staff mean they don't

:00:12.:00:14.

19`year`old Georgina Weaver was admitted to the East Surrey Hospital

:00:15.:00:19.

in Redhill with debilitating headaches,

:00:20.:00:22.

Georgina Weaver was studying animal care and wanted to be a vet.

:00:23.:00:30.

Her two dogs are now a daily reminder for her family

:00:31.:00:33.

Georgina suffered severe headaches for several years and was rushed

:00:34.:00:37.

Within a week, her life support machine was switched off.

:00:38.:00:42.

The ICT unit was in tears because it affected everybody on the ward.

:00:43.:00:49.

Because they said it was so unusual to have a young adult

:00:50.:00:53.

Georgina had a suspected brain condition called

:00:54.:00:58.

but the exact cause of her death couldn't be established because

:00:59.:01:03.

It's an unusual condition in that the brain, in effect,

:01:04.:01:09.

And, so, part of the brain is lodged in the hole from which

:01:10.:01:16.

The hospital has since apologised for delaying

:01:17.:01:21.

the postmortem and says the staff involved no longer work there.

:01:22.:01:25.

Tomorrow would have been Georgina's 20th birthday.

:01:26.:01:41.

Her parents are building a memorial garden for her.

:01:42.:01:44.

But they say failings in her daughter's care have

:01:45.:01:46.

A box stuffed with razor blades and a jar of coffee that contained

:01:47.:01:54.

dirty cat litter have been handed into a food bank in West Sussex.

:01:55.:01:57.

Volunteers made the discovery at the Burgess Hill Community Food

:01:58.:02:00.

Bank, which is based at St John's Church in the town.

:02:01.:02:03.

They've reported the incident to the police.

:02:04.:02:07.

Almost six months after the worst flooding in a decade, an agreement's

:02:08.:02:10.

been made to spend ?38 million improving flood defences in Kent.

:02:11.:02:15.

But the Environment Agency and Kent County Council still have to

:02:16.:02:19.

get approval for the investment, as Lynda Hardy reports.

:02:20.:02:24.

It was the Christmas to forget in parts of Kent.

:02:25.:02:26.

Today, as they're still drying out in Yalding,

:02:27.:02:31.

It's as millions of pounds of funding is discussed that could

:02:32.:02:37.

see a new early warning system in Yalding, and the life flood barrier

:02:38.:02:41.

The people who are flooded are still out of their homes, or, like me,

:02:42.:02:49.

living upstairs with no kitchen, and no furniture downstairs.

:02:50.:02:54.

And that isn't reasonable for people to expect for people to put

:02:55.:02:59.

It all depends upon the money, whether it is actually delivered.

:03:00.:03:06.

So, these agreements, in principle, are all fine and large, and, yes,

:03:07.:03:09.

if the project actually comes to pass, I believe it will help us.

:03:10.:03:15.

One particular thing we are talking about today is

:03:16.:03:17.

the improvements we are making to our flood warning service.

:03:18.:03:20.

So, we've had quite a lot of feedback to say flood warnings

:03:21.:03:23.

people received didn't always help them to understand their risk,

:03:24.:03:26.

what was going to happen, and help them take appropriate action.

:03:27.:03:29.

Meanwhile, how the money to prevent future flooding

:03:30.:03:31.

like this will be spent, and exactly where, is still to be decided.

:03:32.:03:39.

Princess Anne has been to Dungeness to officially name

:03:40.:03:42.

The Morrell is the first of a new generation of lifeboats

:03:43.:03:47.

designed to help the crew reach casualties in shallow waters.

:03:48.:03:49.

It's hoped hundreds of lives will be saved by the boat's

:03:50.:03:52.

There was a fair amount of cloud around spoiling

:03:53.:04:05.

We hold onto the cloud for most of the night, but it should be dry,

:04:06.:04:12.

though, with the odd spot of rain, here and there.

:04:13.:04:15.

Many of us will have a dry night, though.

:04:16.:04:17.

And a warmer night, too, than last night.

:04:18.:04:19.

With the cloud, we've got temperatures down to

:04:20.:04:23.

For tomorrow, there is still a fari amount of cloud around, but much

:04:24.:04:28.

So, many more breaks in that cloud allowing

:04:29.:04:33.

Again, many of us will have a dry day tomorrow.

:04:34.:04:39.

But temperatures really quite healthy.

:04:40.:04:40.

We're looking at highs of 19, 20 Celsius in some parts, so quite

:04:41.:04:44.

Enjoy that warmth in that sunshine because on Monday things go downhill

:04:45.:04:49.

Well, that is it from us for now. We will be back same time tomorrow. In

:04:50.:05:01.

the meantime, enjoy your weekend. Hello. So far, so good. Most of us

:05:02.:05:17.

have had a dry start of the weekend. Some of us will be turning wetter

:05:18.:05:21.

tomorrow. For that change we look to the far north-west of the UK.

:05:22.:05:25.

Overnight into western Scotland, thicker cloud. Patchy hybrids of

:05:26.:05:28.

rain moving in. Some of that reaching Northern Ireland late in

:05:29.:05:32.

the night. Elsewhere, dry. Where you are clear, you will see some patchy

:05:33.:05:36.

mist and fog developing. Temperatures just over a single

:05:37.:05:39.

figures. There will be a different look to the weather across the

:05:40.:05:42.

western side of the UK. Western coast 's of England and Wales, so

:05:43.:05:46.

much sunshine today. More cloud around, maybe a hint of drizzle. In

:05:47.:05:51.

the evening we will start to see our bricks of rain. Central and eastern

:05:52.:05:54.

England will see a fair amount of morning sunshine. Southern and

:05:55.:05:59.

eastern Scotland, a dry start. For Northern Ireland and western

:06:00.:06:02.

Scotland, not just goal, but rampant places to begin the day. Easier when

:06:03.:06:06.

you have rain, the temperature held down. There will be low is in the

:06:07.:06:10.

rain, especially in Northern Ireland. In the afternoon we'll see

:06:11.:06:15.

more in persistent rain and heavy burst is in western

:06:16.:06:16.
