Welcome to South East Today, I'm Polly Evans. | :00:02. | :00:05. | |
And I'm Rob Smith. Tonight's top stories. 10 years jail for the | :00:05. | :00:11. | |
mastermind of a multi million pound cannabis ring in Kent. | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
We're live in Dover where two of three cannabis factories was | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
discovered. The chancellor comes to Kent to | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
announce that the Pfizer site WILL be an Enterprise Zone - but who | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
will take it on? Also in tonight's programme. | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
Thousands of pounds raised, but eight years on, a family say | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
they're still waiting for the bereavement room they were promised | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
at Eastbourne Hospital. Tales of bravery - the Kent police | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
officers who saved a woman from drowning in her car are among | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
others rewarded for their work. And 60 sensible things to celebrate | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
turning 60 - the Kent woman whose wish list means finding excitement | :00:45. | :00:54. | |
:00:55. | :01:02. | ||
Good evening. It's one of the biggest ever cannabis seizures Kent | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
Police have ever made. Three factories discovered in Dover, | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
Whitstable and Wootton, together capable of producing two-and-a-half | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
million pounds' worth of drugs each year. Today a Whitstable | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
businessman, John Read, was jailed for 10 years for organising the | :01:15. | :01:23. | |
criminal enterprise. Simon Jones reports. | :01:23. | :01:30. | |
This is what Canada's with a street value of �1 million looks like. | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
1443 cannabis plants being grown. One of three locations discovered | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
run by the same gang. In two of them, four Vietnamese people lived | :01:41. | :01:48. | |
there to attend the plants. It is equal to being one of the largest | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
discovered in this county. What you think about seen so many plants | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
like that? It was incredible. I have seen many during my service, | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
certainly, that is the largest I have seen personally, and to be in | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
such a large premises built with the cannabis plants, it is quite | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
something. Jailed for conspiring to produce the plants, John Read sort | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
out locations tubing uncertainty owners. In 20th April 10, cannabis | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
was found at industrial units in Coombe Valley Road in Dover. The | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
following month, another one was raided. This building and | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
Whitstable was leased from the supermarket, Tesco, next door. The | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
front of it was partitioned off and avenue of respectability was given. | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
But unknown to locals, behind it was a cannabis farm with thousands | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
of plants discovered. Earlier this year, an investigation by this | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
programme showed how dangerous varieties of cannabis were being | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
grown in Kent and Sussex with chemicals that cause psychotic | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
episodes. One worker said getting this hall of the streets was a good | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
thing. We have the younger ones getting started at 13, 14 years old | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
and they are missing school. Their intention spans are dropping. -- | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
attention. A second man, 70-year- old Roger Coombs from Crawley, was | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
given a suspended sentence for perverting the course of justice. | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
He was not knowingly involved in the production of cannabis. The | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
police say the war goes on. Simon Jones is live in Dover and we | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
understand police are looking for others that were involved in the | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
operation? John Read was described as the | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
organiser but he was not the mastermind. That man is still at | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
large and the Kent police are still investigating. The number of | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
cannabis farms and in Kent has come up to 100 compared to 70 in the | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
previous years. The police say they are winning the drugs war saying | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
that they have 15 Class A drug dealers and he spurned jailed for a | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
total of 30 years following a recent operation. -- dealers in | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
Eastbourne. Coming up in a moment, Crawley | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
notch up another win, we have all of the football news. | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
The Pfizer site at Sandwich HAS been named as one of the | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
Government's 11 new Enterprise Zones, as exclusively revealed on | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
BBC South East Today last night. Both the Chancellor and Minister | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
for Science travelled to East Kent to make the announcement. The new | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
enterprise zone aims to retain a focus on life sciences, | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
pharmaceutical and bio-tech industries. Our business | :04:47. | :04:54. | |
correspondent Mark Norman was at this morning's announcement. | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
The Chancellor was being shown around the Pfizer facility this | :04:57. | :05:05. | |
morning. Pfizer will leave 300 staff from the end of next year, | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
but now this site is a new enterprise zone. I know how bleak | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
it was a few months ago and how difficult things were for the local | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
workforce. I hope we can see a brighter future. Enterprise zone | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
status means companies that move here will not have to pay rates for | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
five years and will benefit from relaxed planning rules and tax | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
breaks as well as fast broadband. It should make the site more | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
attractive to investors and negotiations to sell the property | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
are going well. It is the desire to sell this site to a single buyer | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
and to interest investors and other businesses to come here and we are | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
making good progress. The formal announcement this morning was | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
welcomed by local politicians and representatives. We have the | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
crucial elements in place for economic growth in this area. | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
all sides agree the site and then use their own need to be marketed | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
globally to make this work. We have got all have the right ingredients, | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
low rates, probably companies that would like to acquire this with a | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
reduced rent facility, we now need to make this happen. There are | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
people that think an enterprise zone is not such a bright idea. | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
was bold for a purpose and I think it will only be suitable for that | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
purpose, because I cannot see any body taking it in units. What will | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
they do with it? Nobody knows what will happen to it. Pfizer brought a | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
lot of their staff with them, and that is what they do, they don't | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
employ local people here. Enterprise zones did not work in a | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
1980s, the money they spend was wasted and the jobs were taken from | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
somewhere else, so they will have to work hard to make it work that | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
had this time. It is everyone's intention to work | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
hard to find a buyer for the site and get new tenants for the newest | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
enterprise zone in the country. Enterprise Zones aren't a new idea. | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
The Conservatives set up dozens under the Thatcher and Major | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
governments, including in North Kent. In the '80s and '90s, | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
Enterprise Zones were focused on physically regenerating and | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
rebuilding disused industrial sites, such as in Gravesend where they | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
turned a former paper mill into what's now the Imperial Business | :07:23. | :07:30. | |
Estate. So how are these different? The new zones are aimed at keeping | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
existing sites, and the type of work carried out there, in | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
operation. But critics say Enterprise Zones don't bring long- | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
term investment, and are especially unsuitable for locations like the | :07:41. | :07:50. | |
Pfizer site. If the enterprise zone in five years' time, have the | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
incentive expires, will the new company's stake? The answer is no, | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
unless something gives them a lasting reason to stay in the place. | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
So how do others working in similar fields to Pfizer feel about the | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
programme? There is no doubt that they will have their challenge as | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
big as it is very remote. Over a period of time, the Government well | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
sort those issues out in terms of being able to get there. Let's have | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
a look at the positive side, this is all about preserving employment, | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
good jobs and high skills bases for Kent as a whole. | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
Mark Norman joins us now live from the new Kent Discovery Park. Mark | :08:32. | :08:41. | |
lots of excitement at the Pfizer site, but there are concerns. | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
A lot of hurdles to get over, Pfizer have to sell the site, but | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
there is an indication they have spoken to an international company | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
that buys and runs songs parks like this, what a new purchase or would | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
have to fill up with tenants that would take advantage of the | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
facilities here and the local partnership needs to make sure | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
those companies come from outside the region and that this enterprise | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
zone doesn't suck the life blood out of the economy locally. This is | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
good news today, but there are a lot of its, butts and babies. | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
Figures from The Work Foundation suggest that of the jobs created in | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
the old Enterprise Zones, only 20% could be classed as new jobs - with | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
the rest coming from company relocations and displaced workers. | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
With today's unemployment figures showing a national rise in | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
unemployment, the Pfizer site will be seen as a real test of the | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
government's pledge that Enterprise Zones will help create jobs. | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
A man who carried out a string of armed robberies across Kent and | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
East Sussex has been sentenced to nine years in prison. 48-year-old | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
William Hayton, who's from Tunbridge Wells, was also found | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
guilty of supplying class A drugs. He carried a sawn-off shot gun | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
which he'd load in front of staff to show it was real. | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
The family of Andy Ruck, one of the group leaders mauled by a polar | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
bear in the Arctic last month, have thanked medical staff. They've | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
issued a statement from their family home in Saltdean, near | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
Brighton, revealing that Mr Ruck has suffered permanent damage to | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
his eyesight, but is slowly improving in hospital, and was | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
reading in bed this morning. They put his recovery down in part to | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
his experience as a boy scout. Campaigners fighting the planned 8% | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
rise in rail fares have been joined by one of their local conservative | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
MPs. Government regulations will see rises of 3% above the retail | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
price index but Chatham MP Tracey Crouch, believes that another 3% | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
rise is unfair on south east commuters. I have a different | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
stance to the Government because that think it is important that the | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
hard pressed south-east commuters will have not seen improvements in | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
their services despite paying more than other parts of the country for | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
their railway services, deserve, I think, a fairer price than they | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
already get. A couple from Eastbourne who raised | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
�7,000 for their local hospital after their daughter was stillborn | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
say they want their money back because it hasn't been spent. | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
Monica and Aidan made the donation eight years ago for a special | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
bereavement room to be created at the District General Hospital. The | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
couple say they don't believe the NHS has any intention of carrying | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
out their wishes - something the hospital denies. Natalie Graham | :11:04. | :11:14. | |
reports. She now has three healthy children, | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
but Monica's eldest daughter was stillborn at 35 weeks nine years | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
ago. The family raised �7,000 race bezel room at the maternity | :11:26. | :11:34. | |
hospital in Eastbourne. -- a special room. Many years later, the | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
rumours still not been built. have no respect for us, they did | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
not build the broom, because it was not gaining for themselves. As time | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
goes by, it hurts more and more. The future of the maternity | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
services in Eastbourne has been in doubt over the years since the baby | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
died, but the trust is adamant the bereavement room will be created in | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
the unit. Nobody was available for interview today but the hospital | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
said this project will cost �53,000 in total, a lost more than | :12:06. | :12:16. | |
:12:16. | :12:26. | ||
originally anticipated. -- lot more. It is a case of too little too late. | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
If our money is not enough for them and they have the money there to do | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
a bereavement room, then please, do it, we will support you, but not | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
with our money. We have waited nine years. It is not fair that 10 years | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
later we still had nothing to show for the fund-raising efforts. | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
Because the money was a charitable donation, it is unlikely it can be | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
returned, but the family are hoping to make a formal request so they | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
can spend the money on an alternative project to support | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
bereaved parents. The top story tonight: 10 years | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
jail for the mastermind of a cannabis ring caught growing drugs | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
worth more than two and a half million pounds a year. John Read | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
from Whitstable organised the construction of three so-called | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
"factories" in East Kent. Kent Police say it was one of the | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
biggest ever cannabis seizures they've ever made. | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
Also in tonight's programme: Reviving our wildflower meadows. | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
The Sussex project banking on seeds to restore native species. | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
Not asking for much - the Kent woman celebrating her 60th doing 60 | :13:30. | :13:40. | |
:13:40. | :13:45. | ||
They all say that they were just doing their duty, but today 37 Kent | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
police officers have been given awards for their outstanding | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
conduct. Among them, two constables who saved a woman from drowning in | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
a submerged car. Also receiving awards, two members of the public | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
who bravely helped a man dying from his wounds after he'd been shot and | :13:58. | :14:07. | |
run over. Fiona Irving reports. It has been as low recovery, but | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
these men had the reason that she has made it this far. -- is slow | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
recovery. When her car crashed into a lake last year she was 20 minutes | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
underwater until she was pulled free. I could not get the door open, | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
so I went to the back of the car and managed to get in through the | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
passenger side door behind the driver. And then diving under the | :14:30. | :14:37. | |
water, and managed to get her seat back so that she could be freed. | :14:37. | :14:46. | |
Thank you seems too small a word. They do an incredible job. They are | :14:46. | :14:56. | |
:14:56. | :14:56. | ||
very brave. Extremely brave. They are putting their lives at risk in | :14:56. | :15:04. | |
every situation that the deal with. Also receiving awards today, the | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
men that attended the scene. This man was run-down and his brother | :15:09. | :15:17. | |
was shot in the leg. This family gave first aid to them, while the | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
chaos continued around them. There was fighting, I remember, and | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
somebody burnt at heart that blew up. It was pretty lively. All of my | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
face was covered in blood. I was trying to hold part of his face and | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
head together. It was not nice at all. But we did it for around 40 | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
minutes. It was a horrific time. The man died from his injuries and | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
last year, three people were convicted of murder. Today, John | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
and Michael were recognised for keeping their cool under | :15:52. | :16:02. | |
:16:02. | :16:05. | ||
Until the 1930's, farming methods allowed a huge range of different | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
species to happily flourish in our fields and meadows. But in the 70 | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
years since, 98% of our wildflower meadows have disappeared, putting | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
the very future of some of our native species at risk. Now a | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
pioneering project is under way to re-establish some of those farming | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
methods from the past, at Kew's country garden in Sussex. Our | :16:24. | :16:32. | |
environment correspondent Yvette Austin reports. | :16:32. | :16:39. | |
Ailing pet hate, but this is no ordinary long grass. -- harvesting | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
behave. This is how our traditional environment would be before the | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
Second World War. I can count at least six different wild flowers | :16:50. | :16:56. | |
growing there. What we do with the grass, we gather it to prepare for | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
the winter food. If you think about these beat the murders, they are | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
not just a pretty face, they were here for important economic reasons. | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
There is lots of grass available now, but as the winter goes on, we | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
will need this grass and the sheep will open up patches in the grass | :17:15. | :17:25. | |
:17:25. | :17:27. | ||
to allowed the seeds to germinate. We cursed is experimenting with | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
different ways to create Meadows. Last year, seed was collected from | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
an important site near Battle. Bennett was brought here were we | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
saw trial plots. This year, they flourished. And they're going | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
further by growing some tricky flowers separately to be used | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
diversity in the south-east. It is amazing how much seed you can | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
harvest in a small bed. There are about 160 plants here but we can | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
collect up to a million seats here from this one patch. The key issue | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
is that we know where all of these wild species had been collected | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
regionally and many of them have been collected locally and the | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
south-east. This is the habitat that we know well. The flowers we | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
have growing here are a good example of this. Their fans | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
nationally and in some areas, more abundantly than others. -- they | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
have found nationally. There are few places we can harvest the seed | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
from. So by growing local seats here we can bump up the amount of | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
seed available for habitat restoration in the south-east. | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
will go to commercial growers with the ultimate aim of bringing back | :18:44. | :18:52. | |
the natural grasslands. Football and Charlton's positive | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
start to the season continued with a two-nil away win against | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
Colchester, but Gillingham missed out on three points, conceding an | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
injury-time equaliser at Barnet. Elsewhere two goals from Matt Tubbs | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
helped Crawley beat Southend 3-0. Charlie Rose has all the action | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
from last night. Maybe it's the players, maybe it's | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
the opposition, or perhaps it's the team huddle. Whatever it is, | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
something's going right for Charlton this season. Even their | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
set pieces end up falling at their feet. Leaving the opposition with | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
their backs to the wall. And when the pressure's on, mistakes are | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
made. And this midfield blunder by Colchester was a costly one. | :19:27. | :19:34. | |
Bradley Wright-Philips never looked And the combination of this good | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
cross and some poor marking allowed him to make it two. Colchester's | :19:38. | :19:46. | |
keeper then had to be at full It was looking like three wins out | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
three for Gillingham when Danny Spiller scored in the opening | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
minutes against Barnet, and that lead lasted well in to the second | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
half until this header made it one- a-piece. Soon after they were | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
inches away from going behind. Just look at this. Off one post. And | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
then the next. But the Gills hit back emphatically with this 30-yard | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
strike from Jack Payne. But the agony was yet to come. Four minutes | :20:11. | :20:20. | |
into injury time and a free kick. If you want to know how to deceive | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
a goalkeeper, Dean Howell provided a fine example against Southend | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
last night. It set up a strong second half for Crawley. Pressure | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
brought about a penalty - with Matt Tubbs making it count. Southend had | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
their chances but a second for Tubbs sealed a strong victory for | :20:34. | :20:43. | |
Brighton and Hove Albion will be looking to make it three wins out | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
of three in The Championship against Cardiff tonight. The | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
Seagulls will be without the striker Will Buckley - who scored | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
twice on his debut against Doncaster. He's out for two weeks | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
with a hamstring injury. Kazenga LuaLua could return from injury | :20:54. | :21:03. | |
however. 60 dreams for 60 years. But for one | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
woman it's not the outrageous that she's searching for. Rather Lesley | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
Evans from Sittingbourne is finding excitment in the everyday. To | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
celebrate her impending 60th birthday, she decided to set | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
herself 60 "sensible things" to do. The list includes driving a | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
forklift truck, riding a tandem, and going to the races. And today | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
Folkestone Racecourse had their very own surprise for her. Peter | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
Whittlesea reports. Tonight is the first time Lesley | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
Evans has ever been Horseracing. She was invited to Folkestone | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
because going racing was on her list of 60 things to do it in her | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
60th year. Because her goals were so achievable and because she is a | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
school librarian, the list has been dubs, 60 sensible things. And she | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
is loving every minute of it. think it's absolutely gorgeous and | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
I have had an amazing piece of news that they have named a race after | :21:55. | :22:02. | |
made which is fantastic! Had to define that out? Cade, were invited | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
me to, just seen the Daily Telegraph article, she showed me | :22:08. | :22:18. | |
:22:18. | :22:20. | ||
the race card and there I am! 3! Four. Five on the shoulder. Six, | :22:20. | :22:27. | |
five and one. This after one, she was learning to tick tack. But the | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
media has gone mad over summer for a slightly mundane things to do. | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
Everyone has been queuing up to help her complete the list. Next on | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
the list! What about that one?! Why did riding a tandem naked and your | :22:44. | :22:53. | |
list? I have ridden an ordinary bike and I have written a tricycle. | :22:53. | :23:02. | |
-- why did riding a tandem make it onto your list. I heard that he | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
wanted to go Horseracing and I knew that she lived in Sittingbourne and | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
I got in touch with her and she was very excited and said she would | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
love to come. With a beekeeping, karaoke, eating squirrel already | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
ticked off, she has yet to do a handful of things. It is brilliant. | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
I have read the enjoyed it. It has been fantastic. And the children at | :23:26. | :23:33. | |
school have enjoyed it. It has been funds. It has enabled me to do a | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
lot of the things I wanted to do. She still wants to good will | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
Ireland and visit a prison cell, but this year, she would be | :23:43. | :23:53. | |
:23:53. | :23:59. | ||
enjoying the sport of kings. An extraordinary list! She has | :23:59. | :24:09. | |

Plenty of cloud around today, not a lot of sunshine. Some patchy, light | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
rain and drizzle which clears through tonight. A dry start | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
tomorrow. The rain, never too far away, sinking to the south into the | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
afternoon. Plenty of cloud around, some patchy, light rain and drizzle. | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
A light, north-easterly breeze with a clear field two things. | :24:30. | :24:37. | |
Temperatures not too bad. 21 degrees. 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
reason for that, we have a weather front which is pushing from the | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
south-west at the moment. Moseley today we have seen cloud cover and | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
patchy light rain and drizzle, but nothing to write about. That will | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
clear to the first part. Still holding on to plenty of cloud. As a | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
result, a mild night with temperatures in double figures and | :24:59. | :25:05. | |
not much below 13 or 14 degrees. Tomorrow, initially dry for a time. | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
You can see this problem that will bother us, this weather front with | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
heavy rain. At the moment, staying well for the north of us for much | :25:15. | :25:22. | |
of the day. Check the latest forecast. For much of the day, it | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
will be dry with brightness along the south coast. By the rush hour, | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
some heavy downpours particularly the further west and north you go. | :25:32. | :25:38. | |
Top temperature tomorrow, 20 degrees, 68 Fahrenheit. The North | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
East to be breeze reaching 15 to 20 mph. That rain will clear through | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
tomorrow night and increasingly dry and were clearer skies. Under the | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
clear skies, temperatures of around ten degrees, so slightly fresher | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
for tonight. Into Friday, high pressure, so increasingly settled, | :25:59. | :26:06. | |
warm and bright. Some thundery showers for Sunday. A top | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
temperature of 26 degrees. Not too bad in the sunshine. | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
bad in the sunshine. Thank you. | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
The weather held out in Broadstairs and Eastbourne for the first two of | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
our Festival Friday series and we're hoping for more of the same | :26:18. | :26:26. | |
in Bexhill later this week. When the sun shining and the | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
summary is in full swing there is nothing better than getting out to | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
the seaside. That is what we have got planned every Friday in the | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
month of August. We are entering the festival spirit by going on the | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
road to join you at some of the biggest summer celebrations across | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
the south-east. We will be on location live every festival Friday | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
and we would love you too, and enjoyed a fund. | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
We'll be live at Bexhill's De La Warr Pavilion this Friday, and at | :26:56. | :27:04. | |
the Herne Bay Festival on the 26th. Let's get to recap of the main | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
headlines, and the Prime Minister has praised the quarter were handed | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
out of sentences for some of those involved in the writing last week. | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
Concerns were raised about the severity of some of the jail terms. | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
There is a ten-year jail term for the Whitstable organiser of a | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
cannabis ring growing drugs worth almost two-and-a-half million | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
pounds a year. And zoning in an Pfizer, the | :27:28. | :27:33. |
