Good evening. Commonwealth Games closing ceremony,

:00:08.:00:09.

A fare`evader who was caught after not paying nearly ?43,000 in

:00:10.:00:13.

He was discovered having used his Oyster card to pay for a journey by

:00:14.:00:23.

The asset manager paid the money back to Southeastern

:00:24.:00:26.

Unmasked, the mystery man who for years avoided paying his full rail

:00:27.:00:35.

fare. Widely reported as 44`year`old Jonathan Burrows. Only when he was

:00:36.:00:39.

caught at the end of last year by a ticket inspector did he then repay

:00:40.:00:43.

the tens of thousands of pounds he owed. The fair if they'd avoided

:00:44.:00:49.

paying ?42,500 for his tickets by getting on here at Stonegate where

:00:50.:00:54.

there are no ticket gates. He then travelled on to London Bridge and

:00:55.:00:58.

changed platforms to cannon street, where, by using his Oyster card, the

:00:59.:01:03.

journey only cost him a third of what it should have done for his

:01:04.:01:08.

daily commute. It is an awful lot of money, yeah, and, like I say, that

:01:09.:01:14.

went on for some time, so calculating, really. It wasn't very

:01:15.:01:18.

honest, and especially if you manage to pay it off... I'm on my minimum

:01:19.:01:26.

wage so I don't get why he couldn't pay. The man dubbed Britain's

:01:27.:01:32.

biggest rail fare dodger had to avoid publicity by quickly repaying

:01:33.:01:37.

the huge debt but instead the high`flying executive has apparently

:01:38.:01:41.

lost his City job and British Transport Police say they are now

:01:42.:01:42.

investigating. Services have taken place at

:01:43.:01:44.

War Memorials across the South East to commemorate 100 years

:01:45.:01:47.

since the outbreak of World War I. The Defence Secretary Michael Fallon

all`day event on the harbour. There were more medals

:02:47.:02:51.

for competitors from the South East on the final day

:02:52.:02:53.

of the Commonwealth Games. Not for the first time in recent

:02:54.:02:56.

years, it was East Grinstead's Ashley Jackson who delivered

:02:57.:02:59.

the final blow, and the reaction of his team`mates clearly showed just

:03:00.:03:02.

how much that bronze medal meant. Jackson had twice put England ahead

:03:03.:03:05.

from short corners, He then gave England

:03:06.:03:07.

the advantage in the penalty shoot`out, and together

:03:08.:03:10.

with some good work from the keeper, Brighton badminton player

:03:11.:03:13.

Heather Olver and partner Chris Langridge had to settle for

:03:14.:03:17.

silver in the mixed doubles final, One of the highlights

:03:18.:03:20.

of an excellent weekend for South East athletes was another

:03:21.:03:26.

great run from Dartford sprinter Usain Bolt ultimately proved too

:03:27.:03:30.

strong but Adam and the English quartet were delighted

:03:31.:03:35.

by their silver medals. We gave the baton to the guy

:03:36.:03:39.

on the fourth leg but the Jamaicans were ahead with Usain Bolt running,

:03:40.:03:43.

so, yeah, not much you can do, but to come home with

:03:44.:03:48.

my second medal is really positive. 20`year`old Charlie Grice will

:03:49.:03:54.

have learned much from his race. And England women's hockey team,

:03:55.:03:57.

six players from the south`east, were seconds away from one

:03:58.:04:03.

of the Games big shocks and victory over Australia

:04:04.:04:06.

before losing in the shoot out. But thoroughly deserved

:04:07.:04:10.

their silver medals, too. Good evening. I'm always conscious

:04:11.:04:40.

that the gardens are desperate for some rain, not just the showers we

:04:41.:04:44.

have seen in recent days. There is some of the forecast for later on

:04:45.:04:49.

but for tomorrow, a lot of dry weather around with warm sunshine as

:04:50.:04:54.

well. Possibly the risk of a stray shower tonight. And, as you can see,

:04:55.:05:00.

we have an onshore breeze along the coast which will continue as we go

:05:01.:05:04.

through the day tomorrow. 13 or 14 typically in the towns and possibly

:05:05.:05:08.

cooler in the countryside. Fresher than it has been. Tomorrow, looking

:05:09.:05:12.

at a lot of warm sunshine with the risk of a few showers as we go

:05:13.:05:15.

through, those drifting along the south coast, and a couple inland as

:05:16.:05:19.

we go through the afternoon. But many places will stay dry tomorrow

:05:20.:05:23.

with good skills of sunshine and highs possibly a notch down on

:05:24.:05:30.

today. `` good spells. Things turn more unsettled as we go through this

:05:31.:05:34.

week, so Tuesday running the risk of showers with more on Wednesday as

:05:35.:05:38.

this frontal system crosses the UK, and then waiting in the wings, this

:05:39.:05:44.

area of low pressure coming in for Thursday. That means things will

:05:45.:05:47.

turn more unsettled with more of a risk of showers as we progress

:05:48.:05:51.

through the week. By Thursday, we could be talking about longer spells

:05:52.:05:54.

of rain. That is it from us. Good night.

:05:55.:06:08.

Good evening. Some of us have had a sunny weekend but for others it has

:06:09.:06:14.

not stopped raining for the last couple of days, you can see where on

:06:15.:06:17.

the satellite picture, big swell of cloud, dominating things. Torrential

:06:18.:06:24.

storms, if you see the coverage, you can see how much rain there has

:06:25.:06:28.

been, that has caused issues. Thunder and lightning thrown in as

:06:29.:06:32.

well. This area of storms moves north out of Glasgow but this clutch

:06:33.:06:36.

of heavy downpours pushing into the south-west of Scotland, we will have

:06:37.:06:39.

to keep an eye on that for the closing
