Welcome to South East Today. Tonight's top story. A former Kent | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
Police officer claims police investigating the M25 road rage | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
murder in 1996 were put at risk by leaks to the News of the World. | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
Lorries packed on the M20. Weeks of delays. What next for Operation | :00:22. | :00:29. | |
Stack? Also in the programme is as the last ever space mission | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
launches we talk to Piers Sellers about the end. The Kent magician | :00:35. | :00:42. | |
that dreamed up a new act that could land him up in Las Vegas. And | :00:42. | :00:50. | |
20 years on, it is still perfect. How you too can visit the real | :00:50. | :01:00. | |
:01:00. | :01:02. | ||
locations made famous by The Good evening. A former senior Kent | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
detective says that leaks of information to the News of the | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
World about a murder investigation her was running may have put his | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
officer at risk. Nick Bidis was investigating the murder of Steven | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
Cameron in 199. He clay claims the News of the World named their chief | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
suspect, Kenneth Noye, before it had become public knowledge. He | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
believes police officers were being paid for that and other information. | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
1996. A murder on an M25 slip road. 21-year-old Steven Cameron had been | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
stabbed to death. Detectives suspected Kenneth Noye was | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
responsible and while that information had been shared with | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
Interpol and the Met police, it wasn't public knowledge. The former | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
head of Kent CID beliefs someone in the police leaked that fact and | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
other information to the News of the World. There were leaks, and | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
definitely there were people who were telling the media, making | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
phone calls to the media, and giving them information. Do you | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
think they they were receiving money forthat? No doubt they were | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
receiving something. If it wasn't something, it was favours. I don't | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
know, we never got to the bottom of it. Not only did the world's action | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
potentially let Kenneth Noye know police were on to him, it is | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
claimed it put officers at risk. were putting officers into | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
dangerous situations, don't forget. Kenneth Noye was a known killer. | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
What I didn't need was publicity about that. The vast majority of | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
journalists respected that, and were co-operative. But the News of | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
the World weren't. The police are investigating allegations the News | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
of the World paid officers for confidential information. In 2003, | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson editors of sunand News of the World | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
respectively were asked by MPs about that very subject. We operate | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
within the code and the law. If there is public interest, the same | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
holds for private investigators, is illegal for police officers to | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
receive payment. But a former News of the World journalist who won a | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
tribunal against the newspaper says claims about payment to police and | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
hacking of voice mail messages may just be the start of it. So far it | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
has been centred round voice mails and messages,, they went further | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
and could obtain people's medical records. People's financial | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
statement, they could get their iet miceed phone bills which they did | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
with Rio Ferdinand once. Criminal investigations and two public | :03:34. | :03:42. | |
enquiries into how the News of the World operated are under way. John, | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
have Kent Police have had anything to say about these ail | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
investigations, that information was leaked during their | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
investigations? Yes, they have. But first we really should point out | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
that Nick Bidis isn't saying that these leaks came from within Kent | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
Police. In fact at that time, he says, both Interpol and the Met | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
police knew that Kenneth Noye was their suspect. So the leak could | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
have come from anywhere. Kent Police say they have a zero | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
tolerance towards this sort of thing, and anyone who compromises | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
and investigation by leaking information to the press could face | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
serious disciplinary, if not criminal action as a result. Thank | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
you. And later in the programme, we will hear from the Bishop of | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
Rochester about how he hopes that the News of the World scandal will | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
be a turning point in press history. It has seen the M20 turned into a | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
giant lorry park, leading at times to weeks of delays and frustration | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
for drivers in Kent. Operation Stack is a problem the authorities | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
have struggled to resolve. A today a meeting has taken place to | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
discuss other options to manage the backlog of traffic on the M20 when | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
cross-Channel sailings are disrupted. Between April last year | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
and May this year op operation stack had to be implemented three | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
times. The year before the lorrys were parked on six different | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
occasions and between r between 2008 and 2009 it was put into force | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
ten time, including the longest ever implementation of Operation | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
Stack, which lasted for nearly three weeks. Operation Stack is a | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
police and multi-agency response to congestion caused at the ports. | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
What that means for us if you track back 2008 it cost �2 million to put | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
it on. Every time I do that, on behalf of Kent Police, it means I | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
am committing resources to doing that, when we put it on we move | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
officers from local policing officers out to the motorway to be | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
able to put it on. So what from the options? Kent County Council wants | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
to build a lorry park at Aldington. Earlier this year they were dealt a | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
blow after the Government announced it wouldn't pay for it. The | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
Campaign to Protect Rural England has suggested an ambitious plan to | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
build a lorry park in the sea off the Kent coast but reclaiming land | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
at Dover. The MP for Folkstone & Hythe has suggested a network of | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
smaller scale parks alongside the M20. I think something we will take | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
to ministers is whether there should be a review of a lot of the | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
planning rules that have ruled certain sites out this is a piece | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
of national infrastructure so maybe we should look at national planning | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
guidelines and see if that can speed the process up and bring into | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
play other parking sites. business correspondent was at the | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
meeting and he is in Dover for us now. Mark, did anything specific | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
emerge from this meeting today?. think three main points. One is | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
this idea that planning regulations could help create a permanent lorry | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
park or a number of temporary ones to relieve the problems. Secondly, | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
once any strikes or bad weather is over, it is how do we get it on to | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
the ferries as past as -- fast as possible. How do you pay for | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
Operation Stack? And this idea that perhaps foreign hauliers could be | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
charged, a tax for that, and a number of ideas round that are in | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
front of Government at the moment. Really, those are the three main | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
points. Thank you. Representatives from the group that met today will | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
be pressurising the Department of Transport for a decision, they plan | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
to meet again before the end of the year. Coming up in a moment. The | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
Open starts next week. How our local boys are preparing for the | :07:19. | :07:29. | |

Now today saw the final launch of a space shuttle from the Kennedy | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
Space Center at Cape Canaveral in Florida. It will be the 135th and | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
last mission o of the 30yeerd year programme. Aus naught Piers Sellers | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
was there to watch Atlantis take off. He joins us live now from | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
Florida. Pierce, good of you to be be with us. You have flown in three | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
shuttle missions. You must have had some mixed emotions today. I did. I | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
did. I was very glad to see a safe and successful launch of my | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
favourite shuttle. And it is a tribute to everybody here they have | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
managed to get it more or less on time. Maybe just over a minute late. | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
Did you have your heart in your mouth a bit, when the clock stopped | :08:16. | :08:23. | |
at 31 seconds, thinking, perhaps it is not going to go off today? | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
could imagine the moans in the cockpit. This happened a few times | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
we have stopped at 31 seconds, and you know, generally that it is for | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
the day, because it is too little time to sort it out. The ground | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
team fixed it and moved back into the count. You have been in space | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
and there aren't many people who can say that. What does it feel | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
like launching in the shuttle? is quite a ride. When you launching | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
you get this huge push in your back and then everything in the cockpit | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
is thrashed round, it's a very rough ride for the first two | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
minutes. You look out the window and the sky goes from tpwhrue black | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
quickly and as you go out of of the atmosphere, you get mashed back in | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
your seat for another six minutes, more and more pressure on your body, | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
up to 3G, right up to eight-and-a- half minutes, at which point you | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
are going five miles a second, which is very fast. That the point | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
the main gins cut off and you go from being pushed into your seat to | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
zero G. Everything is floating. Thank you for being with us. Thank | :09:28. | :09:36. | |
you. A man from Kent and his wife have been sentenced in connection | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
with Europe's biggest illegal veterinary medicine visit. Ronald | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
Meddes and his wife Regine Lansley sold unauthorised medicines from | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
warehouses in Kent and Belgium. The trade netted more than �6 million | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
and the scam came the light after customers -- customs made large see | :09:53. | :09:59. | |

Olympic spectators have gone on sale. Tickets are designed to be | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
flexible to allow passengers to change the time they return, should | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
an event be rescheduled. Two Sussex police officers who risked their | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
lives after an explosion at a fireworks factory have been | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
rewarded for their courage. Sergeant Dan Pitcher and PC Dave | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
Upjohn were called to the Ringmer fireworks fire in 2006. Both men | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
pulled a seriously injured man to safety, as the factory was about to | :10:28. | :10:35. | |
explode. We weren't expecting anything else to happen, so very | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
proud. Likewise, and as I said, our thoughts go out to especially in | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
this instance to the family of the two firefighters that died as a | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
result of the fireworks factory, and without a doubt we are humbled. | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
The Bishop of Rochester, one of the most senior figures in the Church | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
of England has said that he hopes revelations surrounding the News of | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
the World will lead to a change in the way the press operates. In the | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
public's demands for salacious stories. The Right Reverend James | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
Langstaff is calling on the public and newspaper editors to think | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
again about the type of stories they run and the methods they use | :11:09. | :11:17. | |
to get them. Our social affairs correspondent reports. Expose says | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
and gossip. Crime and tragedy. It is all there in the tabloids but | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
the closure of the News of the World is leading to some people | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
hoping there will be an effect on the newspapers and society. A move | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
towards less of a hung foretabloid- style scandal Some of the anguish | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
and scandal over the present situation is that it is vulnerable | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
people it seems who have been targeted, who have had their phones | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
hacked. And that, if society begins to react against that, that could | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
be something good. But the News of the World became the biggest | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
selling Sunday paper because people liked its exclusive, revelations | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
insider knowledge and style. Only how some journalists got their | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
scoops it is argued is what should change For nearly 170 years the | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
world was the world's most successful newspaper. It gave the | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
British public the entertaining, light-hearted titillation they want | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
on a Sunday. That is good. We shouldn't want to stop that. We | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
should, however, want to stop newspapers doing things which are | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
immoral and illegal. People today mostly thought there would be | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
little change. Obviously there is thicks going on in the background, | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
that like obviously you don't see every day and whatever, and it has | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
brought it out in the open, but yeah, it's going on everywhere | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
isn't it. It doesn't matter to me. It is just a comic any way isn't it. | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
Who cares? I think it is disgusting what has happened, you know, them | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
getting into phones and things like that. I don't think it is right. | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
But I do think it will change people's minds about papers now. | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
probably won't change. It will make no difference. I will blow over and | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
something else will happen, so, it won't be the last of it. Everyone | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
wants it to change. It will be sales figures which ultimately | :13:11. | :13:21. | |
:13:21. | :13:23. | ||
It is just gone 6.40. The former senior Kent Police officer says | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
leaks to the News of the World may have put officers at risk. Nick | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
Bidis who was investigating the M25 road rage murder in 1996 claims | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
that the paper named their chief suspect, Kenneth Noye, before it | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
had become public knowledge. Also in the programme. The Kent magician | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
who has dreamed up a new plan for getting to Las Vegas. We will talk | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
to Richard Bellars in the studio. Still larking round. How you can | :13:50. | :14:00. | |
:14:00. | :14:02. | ||
visit the locations of the Darling Buds of May 20 years on. Six months | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
ago he tried to trick the legendary American illusionists Penn and | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
Teller on their programme Fool Us but he narrowly failed. So he is | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
brave or foolish to give it another go tomorrow in a bid to be their | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
support act in Las Vegas. In a moment he will explain why he is | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
doing it again and how his trick came to him in a dream. Please | :14:28. | :14:36. | |
welcome from Tunbridge Wells Richard Bellars. My skills in the | :14:36. | :14:43. | |
art of brainwash. Against your Poker Face. Go back to one and | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
repeat that process. Look at that card. Remember the card. Close your | :14:48. | :14:58. | |
:14:58. | :15:01. | ||
eyes and close the deck. Have you got one in your mind? In a nice | :15:01. | :15:10. | |
loud voice which card are you thinking of. Ten of hearts. No way! | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
Richard is with us now. Why, why did you want do it again? It was | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
more to gain the respect from my peers really. Going on and not | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
fooling them to that extent was not embarrassing but I knew I could do | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
better. So you have dreamed up a trick I kind of, it was, haunting | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
me a bit the last one, so I had some dreams where I was dreaming up | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
a routine, and woke up and figured I had to make it a reality. 1.00 in | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
the morning, scribbling ideas and it came together. Like all the best | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
practising noefrs things you started small, didn't you. I was | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
this big when I started! In height as well as, you were going to show | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
us. Yes, this thing. This is the first trick you learned I loved | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
sweets as a kid. I never used to buy cards, I used to buy sweets. | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
The idea is, we will do it on this one. Pop it on there. The idea if | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
you close your hand round that band to make a fist and I put this on | :16:11. | :16:18. | |
this side of the band, there is technically no way past your hand | :16:18. | :16:25. | |
or through the band. Houdini used to get out of locks and escape from | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
just about anything. How did do you that? That was the first trick I | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
learned as a kid. I did it at school. Got more sweets. So it is | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
all about the sweets You do it if your own hand. You see as you rub | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
it, it vanish completely. Hang on, where has it gone? Look at that. | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
He's good. He's good. You are a dab hand at card trick, because I know | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
you brought your pack along. We were so impressed last time, that | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
we want to see some more. Yeah, sure. Last time I did a trick, you | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
picked a card and I found it and stuff. That is the standard way. | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
I'm going to try a different way this time. Normally you would take | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
one out and hide it. This is different. I am going to spread | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
them out. Look at a card. Once you have seen it look back up but keep | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
a Poker Face on. So pick a card. Look, see and come back up. Both of | :17:20. | :17:28. | |
you. OK. Got one. Yeah. I am going try and get both. Yours is red, | :17:28. | :17:37. | |
yes? Let me finish or black. Yourzs red. Yes. I am getting confused. It | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
was one of the higher cards. A diamond. Was it a picture card. | :17:41. | :17:50. | |
King of diamonds. Yours was black, yours is a lower one. A club. Yes | :17:50. | :18:00. | |
:18:00. | :18:01. | ||
Really low. Two Two? It was. There is no two of clubs. Hang on, what | :18:01. | :18:08. | |
has he done with them? So, Penn and Teller, you want to get to Las | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
Vegas, do you think what you have done this time is going to take you | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
there? I have a better chance, because I wrote it from scratch. It | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
is not something they could have seen before, they can work it out. | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
They are clever guys but I have given myself the best chance. | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
luck, tomorrow night. We will be watching. Now, over the weekend | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
many of the competitors at the year's Open Golf will begin to | :18:31. | :18:38. | |
arrive in Kent. Joining the world's best professionals will be two | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
local golfers looking at their first chance to take on the likes | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
of Rory McIlroy. Andy Smith has never practised so hard before. He | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
knows the next few days could change his life forever. A few | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
months ago his career appeared over, a serrys you operation forced him | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
to stop playing. His sponsor pulled out and he started doing odd job, | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
but a friend paid for him to try to qualify and he set off with a bag | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
of borrowed clubs. What happened next surprised almost everybody | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
Matt in the shop here rang me, in Greece and said, "Have you heard?" | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
I said what is going on. He said "Andise got through." We fell to | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
pieces. Andy will travel down on Sunday, determined to enjoy every | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
moment I am probably there because I had no expectations this time and | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
didn't know what was going to happen. So it is just, a seriously | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
good feeling. Francis is equally as excited by the prospect of Micking | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
with the world's best player, especially as he will do so almost | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
literally on his doorstep. His father owned a golf club near the | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
course. Last week I was there, and I thought I was pretty much done, | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
come back this week and I thought "Blimey they have done loads more." | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
It is very busy. The Open has thrown up unlikely winners. Ben | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
Curtis was almost unknown when he lifted the title in 2003. Andy and | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
Francis I know they are unlikely to emulate him but being there will be | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
the high light of their golfing lives. It is getting close. I am | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
excited. 20 years ago this summer, pop -- Pop and Ma Larkin and their | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
brood of children appeared on our screens in The Darling Buds of May. | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
The series was more popular than Eastenders and Coronation Street | :20:26. | :20:34. | |
when it aired in 1991. It was predomnandly filmed in the village | :20:35. | :20:44. | |
of Pluckley. Today a new visitor centre has been opened. It was set | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
in an idyllic rural Kent of the 1950s. HB Bates wrote the novel | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
which inspired the series, a series produced by his son. Bates moved to | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
Kent with his wife and was looking for inspiration for a novel, when | :20:58. | :21:06. | |
he stopped outside a village shop to buy sweets. Quick, quick! Hand | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
them round. No extra licks on the way! Out of the shop came this | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
extraordinary family, with ice- creams and crisps and so on, and | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
they piled into this great big blue truck and disappeared on the | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
horizon. That was his first and only glimpse of the Larkin family, | :21:23. | :21:29. | |
as he called them. That was his inspiration, that was his starting | :21:29. | :21:36. | |
point. Roger lived with his parent tons farm used as the Larkin family | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
home. After three years of filming, he became very friendly with the | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
cast. David Jason restores old motorcycles so we had something in | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
common. I was restoring an old car at time with my father, he used to | :21:50. | :21:59. | |
come down, and say "You haven't done much to it this time" or say | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
"Wow a lot of progress this time." The farm was used as one of the | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
major location and it was outside this building here that Charlie | :22:09. | :22:19. | |
:22:19. | :22:19. | ||
first laid eyed on Mariette. Hello. I spot yod first. Now a trail is | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
encouraging people to visit. The tour will take do you Larkin's farm, | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
the pub where they drank and the church where they got married. | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
hope visitor also come and do The Darling Buds of May trail and see | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
some of those places, but at the same time enjoy some of the new | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
things that we can offer today, and relive perhaps some of that lovely | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
romantic period captured in the TV programme. The trail will be | :22:48. | :22:56. | |
available to download from Kent on 15th July. But what we need is | :22:57. | :22:58. | |
15th July. But what we need is glorious sunshine. Lara? Yes at the | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
time on a Friday night the pressure is really on to tell you something | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
exciting. Don't get me wrong, the weeged isn't looking bad, it is | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
just not particularly thrilling. Tonight, it will be a wet picture, | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
but after that things are clearing up. A lot of cloud cover round | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
though. As you can see, today there has been a fair bit of cloud. You | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
will have seen that by looking out your window, but we are seeing | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
clearer spots, so this evening pleasant evening sunshine, the next | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
couple of hours are looking all right. After that there is trouble | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
on its way. As you can see here, a bit of shadow along the south coast. | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
Now that is where we see the next weather system creep in from the | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
Continent. With it, there will be some rather heavy rain, | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
particularly round coastal parts, up to 25 millimetres falling. But | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
by the time most of us are awake, that rain should have stopped. It | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
is remaining mild, both temperatures down 12 degrees. | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
Tomorrow morning, still a few showers in the wake of that rain, | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
they could be heavy and thundery, but after that, just quite a lot of | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
cloud cover. Temperatures tomorrow getting up to about 21 degrees at | :24:07. | :24:14. | |
their highest. The odd shower still not far away, so Surrey and east | :24:14. | :24:21. | |
sus -- Sussex could see a somehow ur. It will be breezy there as well. | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
Generally, just a rather cloudy picture. Now, by tomorrow night, | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
any of those showers should have crept away, a fair bit of cloud | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
cover, meaning overnight those temperatures not dropping too low. | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
Down to about 12 degrees, and Sunday, well, it is going to be | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
rather cloudy picture. High pressure, setting out in the | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
Atlantic, that means things are generally dry, a bit of wet weather | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
in the north, but here it will be a drier picture, not a huge amount of | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
sunshine but the temperatures remaining constant over the next | :24:51. | :24:58. | |
few days and enjoy the dry weather because by Tuesday it is looking | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
wet again. Let us look at the main headline. The former editor of the | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
News of the World Andy Coulson has been arrested by police | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
investigating the allegations of phone hacking. Tonight the Bishop | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
of Rochester has said that he hopes the public will think again about | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
the types of stories they want. Lots of you have been e-mailing us. | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
One says "We get the journalism we deserve, because people do keep | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
buying these trashy paper, and enjoy the scandal, the stories and | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
the dirty details. The tabloids were invented in the Victorian era, | :25:33. | :25:43. | |
:25:43. | :25:43. | ||
it is your enthuse yusm that pushes journalists to go too far." "It is | :25:43. | :25:52. | |
a seven situation -- sensation list and morally corrupt industry." I | :25:52. | :25:59. | |
believe Joe Public is to blame. "People have obviously been willing | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
to buy the News of the World because it has been the best | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
selling Sunday paper, so a lot of people are getting the journalism | :26:06. | :26:10. |
