Good evening. late news at 11pm.

:00:10.:00:10.

There have been demands today for more help for homeless people

:00:11.:00:14.

here in the south-east after a rough sleeper was found dead in a

:00:15.:00:17.

The man, who was in his 40s, was discovered on Christmas Eve.

:00:18.:00:23.

But as the local council is asked to do more,

:00:24.:00:25.

It says it doesn't have the funds to give any extra help.

:00:26.:00:30.

Chatham High Street was much busier when his body was found

:00:31.:00:41.

Now there are calls for the council to improve the way it

:00:42.:00:45.

looks a homeless people in the very cold weather.

:00:46.:00:47.

Medway Council currently has severe weather protocol which effectively

:00:48.:00:50.

kicks in after three days of forecast of sub zero situations.

:00:51.:00:54.

We have seen this year when it was sub-zero,

:00:55.:00:57.

sub-zero and one Celsius, and the protocol didn't kick in,

:00:58.:01:03.

According to the Kent homeless charity Porchlight,

:01:04.:01:12.

the number of people sleeping rough in the county has almost

:01:13.:01:15.

doubled in the past year, with the number of under

:01:16.:01:17.

25-year-olds who are homeless tripling.

:01:18.:01:18.

It is thought to be similar picture in Sussex, with 144 rough

:01:19.:01:21.

Medway Council says it is constrained by how

:01:22.:01:25.

The national protocol is three days of cold weather.

:01:26.:01:32.

If we actually dealt with it we could intervene,

:01:33.:01:35.

for example, after one day, but what it would mean

:01:36.:01:37.

is we would have to pay the entire cost of those interventions

:01:38.:01:43.

and that is quite expensive, and we just do not have

:01:44.:01:46.

the resources at a time when our money is being so much

:01:47.:01:49.

As for the man who died on Christmas Eve, the cause

:01:50.:01:55.

A family is having to find another home after a fire destroyed much

:01:56.:02:03.

of their bungalow in Minster on the Isle of Sheppey.

:02:04.:02:06.

The fire at the back of the building in Highfield Road quickly

:02:07.:02:09.

The owners were out at the time but are now having to find

:02:10.:02:13.

The fire is believed to have been accidental.

:02:14.:02:16.

A man's appeared in court, accused of deliberately

:02:17.:02:18.

26-year-old Daryll Rowe was arrested in Brighton

:02:19.:02:21.

He failed to answer bail, but after being arrested

:02:22.:02:24.

again he appeared before Newcastle Crown Court,

:02:25.:02:28.

where he was charged with seven counts of causing

:02:29.:02:31.

grievous bodily harm, and one count of

:02:32.:02:34.

Three shotguns and luxury watches were among items stolen from a home

:02:35.:02:42.

They were taken from a property in Nightingale Road in Allington off

:02:43.:02:46.

Football - and although there was a narrow 3-2 defeat for Crawley

:02:47.:02:56.

at Leyton Orient yesterday, the other south-east

:02:57.:02:58.

Charlton boss Karl Robinson celebrated his first win thanks

:02:59.:03:09.

to a neat finish from teenager Ademola Lookman and a

:03:10.:03:11.

stoppage-time goal from Gillingham's Baily Cargill earned them

:03:12.:03:14.

Meanwhile, Brighton and Hove Albion moved back to the top

:03:15.:03:21.

of the Championship following a comfortable 3-0 win

:03:22.:03:23.

The victory lifts the Albion two points clear of rival Newcastle

:03:24.:03:28.

and stretches their unbeaten run to 17 games, as Neil Bell reports.

:03:29.:03:34.

Another big crowd at the Amex came full of the expectation

:03:35.:03:36.

and the Albion players clearly had a spring in their step

:03:37.:03:39.

following an excellent run, masterminded by boss Chris Hughton.

:03:40.:03:41.

Brighton began positively and went ahead following some sublime skill

:03:42.:03:46.

and a wonderful strike from Sam Baldock, followed by some

:03:47.:03:51.

equally impressive celebrations from his team-mates.

:03:52.:03:56.

Brighton continued to dominate but had to wait until the second

:03:57.:03:58.

half to increased their lead, a rash challenge on Stevens allowed

:03:59.:04:03.

Glen Murray to calmly score from the penalty spot for his 13th

:04:04.:04:06.

A clumsy challenge from QPR skipper Onuoha saw him sent off with more

:04:07.:04:13.

Perhaps it was inevitable Brighton's third came

:04:14.:04:23.

He celebrated his excellent strike by holding aloft

:04:24.:04:26.

a picture of his father, who died shortly before Christmas.

:04:27.:04:28.

Brighton rarely came under pressure, but when they did keeper

:04:29.:04:31.

David Stockdale came to their rescue.

:04:32.:04:34.

The Albion's brilliant run shows no sign of ending,

:04:35.:04:36.

and automatic promotion to the Premier League

:04:37.:04:40.

Well, that's it from me, the national weather forecast

:04:41.:04:47.

shortly, but first let's get the picture in the south-east

:04:48.:04:50.

Good evening. It was a very cold this morning. We have had plenty of

:04:51.:05:01.

sunshine throughout the day and that will change through the night and

:05:02.:05:06.

for the next few days as Falkirk becomes an issue. The Met office

:05:07.:05:11.

have eschewed the weather warning -- as the Falkirk becomes an issue.

:05:12.:05:17.

Through the night and we will see clear skies at first and

:05:18.:05:21.

temperatures will fall away but as the fog starts to develop the hover

:05:22.:05:25.

around freezing first thing tomorrow. A murky start and much of

:05:26.:05:32.

that mist and fog is quite stubborn, taking until around lunchtime and

:05:33.:05:38.

then it lets into low cloud. A grey afternoon. Temperature is similar to

:05:39.:05:45.

today. Things are very settled at the moment and we stick with the dry

:05:46.:05:51.

weather with high round but that fog reforms on Wednesday night so

:05:52.:05:55.

Thursday will again be quite difficult for travelling first thing

:05:56.:06:00.

and will lead to a cloudy and cold day. The outlook shows

:06:01.:06:06.

Good evening. It's a wintry night out there. Temperatures as low as

:06:07.:06:12.

minus three in one or two places already. For some of us the frost

:06:13.:06:16.

never shifted all day long. This shot was taken in Somerset. Tonight,

:06:17.:06:25.

some frost free places in Scotland. Fog will develop as we work through

:06:26.:06:30.

the night. It becomes wide spread. That's the issue in the morning,

:06:31.:06:33.

disruption certainly possible with a lot of people on the move. Check out

:06:34.:06:38.

local radio stations for the latest updates. Warnings in force from the

:06:39.:06:44.

Met Office. Parts of south-west Wales and England seeing early

:06:45.:06:46.

sunshine. Generally a lot of freezing fog around, which will be

:06:47.:06:50.

hard to shift through the day, as we'll see in a moment. The odd

:06:51.:06:54.

pocket of frost further north. Temperatures higher in Northern

:06:55.:06:57.

Ireland and Scotland. Drizzly rain across the western Highlands.

:06:58.:06:59.
