Dog owners are being warned they could be prosecuted

:00:00.:00:07.

and their pets shot dead if they allow them to chase sheep.

:00:08.:00:10.

It's lambing season, and farmers across the South East

:00:11.:00:12.

are already reporting cases of sheep worrying.

:00:13.:00:14.

As Jon Hunt reports, one Sussex farmer is counting

:00:15.:00:16.

the cost of an attack which saw 14 of his ewes killed.

:00:17.:00:26.

Two dogs attacked a flock of 200 sheep belonging to Jack Holt,

:00:27.:00:29.

14 ewes died, between them carrying 24 lambs.

:00:30.:00:37.

Two other ewes had already aborted their lambs because of the trauma,

:00:38.:00:44.

and Mr Holt believes that could just be the start.

:00:45.:00:47.

We have had problems before but nothing on this size.

:00:48.:00:49.

I would say the dogs would probably do it again if they got the chance,

:00:50.:00:53.

but it is down to the owners to control them and just

:00:54.:00:56.

The National Farmers Union says livestock worrying costs

:00:57.:01:03.

the industry ?1.2 million a year, with many losses uninsured.

:01:04.:01:10.

If a dog does worry livestock, the owner can be prosecuted

:01:11.:01:12.

and the farmer hasthe right to shoot the dog if it is found

:01:13.:01:16.

85% of the South Downs National Park is farmed, but it is popular

:01:17.:01:22.

The park authority has launched a light-hearted campaign to remind

:01:23.:01:29.

One of our favourite birds in the South Downs is the Skylark

:01:30.:01:35.

and it has its nest on the ground, and dogs can disturb birds

:01:36.:01:38.

by rushing at them and their nests and then the birds will fly off

:01:39.:01:41.

and abandon their young if they are scared.

:01:42.:01:43.

The police are investigating an incident involving Jack Holt's

:01:44.:01:45.

flock, the cost of which currently stands at ?5,000.

:01:46.:01:53.

Nigel Farage has for the first time confirmed his intention

:01:54.:01:56.

in a television interview to stand for election if the seat

:01:57.:02:02.

he contested in the general election becomes available.

:02:03.:02:07.

The UKIP MEP lost to the Conservative candidate

:02:08.:02:09.

Police are investigating allegations of election fraud in South Thanet.

:02:10.:02:14.

Speaking on the Sunday Politics Mr Farage indicated his parliamentary

:02:15.:02:17.

Winning seats in parliament under a first

:02:18.:02:43.

past the post system is not the only way to change politics in Britain.

:02:44.:02:46.

I would like to think I have proved that.

:02:47.:02:48.

More than 100 former Royal Marines bandsmen known as the All Stars

:02:49.:02:51.

will play their last annual concert at Margate's Winter Gardens.

:02:52.:02:53.

The event commemorates the 11 men killed by the IRA bombing

:02:54.:02:56.

The bandsmen have raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity

:02:57.:03:00.

but have now decided it's time to stop.

:03:01.:03:02.

They've long retired from service, and many have not met

:03:03.:03:06.

But within minutes they're bandsmen again.

:03:07.:03:15.

They passed through the Royal Marines School of Music

:03:16.:03:24.

And most have memories of its saddest day.

:03:25.:03:28.

I've heard it go off and of course I did not know

:03:29.:03:31.

what it was and I was driving to Canterbury and it was

:03:32.:03:35.

on the radio and there was ambulances passing me and fire

:03:36.:03:38.

engines and so I thought, this is serious.

:03:39.:03:40.

The annual concert has been taking place every year

:03:41.:03:42.

It began as a way of remembering the 11 who died and to raise money

:03:43.:03:47.

for the disaster fund, but it has gone on to raise around

:03:48.:03:50.

We've got about 800 people coming tonight and it's just

:03:51.:04:01.

It is sad, in a way, but then everything comes to an end.

:04:02.:04:12.

And out of this something else will happen.

:04:13.:04:14.

It will be a moving moment from many in the audience as the bandsmen

:04:15.:04:18.

But it will be proof that even in the face of tragedy

:04:19.:04:22.

Football, and in the Championship Brighton's promotion

:04:23.:04:28.

hopes remain strong following a win against Derby.

:04:29.:04:33.

The Seagulls are level on points with league leaders Newcastle.

:04:34.:04:35.

In League One Josh Wright scored a hat-trick of penalties

:04:36.:04:38.

in Gillingham's 3-2 win over Scunthorpe.

:04:39.:04:40.

Charlton drew 1-all against Walsall thanks to this Tony Watt equaliser.

:04:41.:04:44.

And in League 2 Crawley twice went ahead against

:04:45.:04:46.

And now the weather with Lucy Martin.

:04:47.:04:57.

Yesterday we recorded temperatures of 17.7 Celsius in Kent.

:04:58.:05:03.

Today it clipped back and it was fairly grey.

:05:04.:05:07.

As we move into tomorrow, a return to more mild temperatures.

:05:08.:05:10.

Some sunshine on the way and largely dry.

:05:11.:05:13.

If we put the detail on the map, that rain clearing out

:05:14.:05:16.

towards the east through this evening and overnight.

:05:17.:05:18.

A few clearer spells developing into the early hours.

:05:19.:05:22.

A cloudy start tomorrow but we start to see sunshine building

:05:23.:05:26.

through the morning and temperatures not doing too badly at all.

:05:27.:05:31.

We will see a little bit more in the way of cloud into the late

:05:32.:05:37.

afternoon and evening. I will leave you with the outlook.

:05:38.:05:39.

As we move through the beginning of next week it will stay fairly

:05:40.:05:42.

mild but I think we will see more in the way of cloud.

:05:43.:05:45.

That is all for now. We will be back after 10pm with more. Have a lovely

:05:46.:05:57.

evening. Goodbye for now. Hello, the weather was hit-and-miss

:05:58.:06:09.

today across
