One of the region's most With are back

One of the region's most senior clergy man has launched an `ttack on

the Home Office after five students from Africa were banned frol

entering the country. The church was going to pay for the theological

students to visit SX, but they were refused entry into the UK. The

Bishop of Chelmsford said it is a slur on them and the church. Links

between Kenyan churches and the diocese of Chelmsford date back 40

years. Along number that prhnciple, the students were due here for a

three`week trip to further their studies. But the Home Officd will

not let them in, fearing thdy may not return home. It is nonsdnse We

are going to pay them up from the airport, they will stay in our

homes, we are going to pay them up from the airport, they will stay in

our homes, they are going about their studies and it is an hnsult to

them and I think, is slow on the Church of England and the UK we

should behave in such a petty way. It is an offence against colmon

sense and an offence against justice. Josephine Muriithi is one

of the students, she has a family in Kenya. But her application was

refused and the Home Office were not satisfied she could financi`lly

supported trip and afford to return home. The British Government is

refusing the student's Visa on the basis that they are not going to

come back when everything is very clear. When they see the sttdents

have no income, we all know that students don't have in common. We

have been students ourselves. And today's the refusal on that is very

disappointing. Bishop Stephdn control is right into SX MPs to put

pressure on Government to apply greater discretion for the

individual applications. I do believe it is anybody's intdntion

that this should happen, but the facts seem to be that the Home

Office have outsourced this Visa Works other people and they'll

simply `` there is simple enough common sense, let alone discretion.

Both sides say the students are missed out on such a valuable

educational opportunity and they hope it doesn't happen again. A cold

case investigation into the murder of a nightclub doorman in C`mbridge

18 years ago has been shelvdd by the police. The case was reopendd seven

months ago, but detectives have not had the breakthrough they hoped for.

24`year`old Ian Grant was a body`builder who stood six foot

five. He knew how to look after himself. But in November 1985 his

body was found on land near is home at Cherry Hinton. He had bedn shot

in the head. To look after himself. But in November 1995 his body was

found on land near is home `t Cherry Hinton. He had been shot in the

head. Two is are moved on, fear and intimidation that existed 18 years

ago is no longer there. I'm incredibly optimistic that we will

unlock the truth of this case. The review was spurred by a fresh look

at friends Kevin 's and a new witnesses coming forward. But

despite one arrested Decembdr, statement, the police told the BBC

that murder of Ian Grant and now have a

much push the investigation further at

this stage. When called of hope that it will bring results.

The police and the file British grand B. Nico Rosberg will

start on pole mark the arrival of the Tour de

France in this Cambridge where the third stage of

the store starts off from family fun day in Chelmsford as

micro`Chelmsford ahead of the tour's arrival there. Good dvening.

I'm afraid there is more wet weather to come, holding onto the show so

much of this evening and evdn through the night. They largely

cloudy night with some clear spells and it will be fairly warm, as well.

Tomorrow morning, some showdry rain to the east, in particular `long the

coast there. Showers further inland as well, but western parts will not

be too bad tomorrow morning. We have a much drier, brighter periods

later, but they are short lhved before more showers coming from the

West. Temperatures should rdach about 20, 20 one Celsius tolorrow.

We hold onto that sunshine `nd those showers for much of next wedk with

temperatures in the low 20s. That is it, we return

Good evening. It looks like for most of us the weather will be fairly

similar to what we saw today. The broad themes throughout this

weekend, sunny spells and scattering of showers, but not much evening

sunshine round, I have to say s across south-east England, and
