leading an assault on the man who abused her daughter on the internet. | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
Channel Tunnel chaos for the bank holiday as French workers plan | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
indefinite strike action. We'll have the latest live from the | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Folkestone terminal. Also in tonight's programme. | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
How a treatment for stroke victims being pioneered in Kent could help | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
thousands lead a more independent life. | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
New life through a lens. The Sussex photographer winning prizes for | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
capturing mums in bloom. And a lifetime of service, the 90 | :00:34. | :00:44. | |

year old who's clocked up 72 years Good evening. A mother from Chatham | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
who's admitted taking part in an attack on a teenager has been | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
spared a jail sentence, because he'd been abusing her severely | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
disabled daughter over the internet. Sylvia Hooper went round to | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
Christopher Berwick's house in Chatham with other members of her | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
family, because he'd called her daughter Kim a "cripple" on | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
Facebook. Sylvia pleaded guilty to assault, but a Crown Court judge | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
handed her a conditional discharge because of exceptional | :01:14. | :01:24. | |
:01:24. | :01:25. | ||
circumstances. Jon Hunt reports. Tim Hooper has just turned 21. She | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
has been studying GCSEs at college. Like many people her age, she uses | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
Facebook to keep in touch with friends. One of her former friends | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
used the site to aggressively taught her about her disability. | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
was calling me names, I could deal with that. But he always put | :01:46. | :01:54. | |
something aggressive about it me. He called me a retard. He said, | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
also, that no one would want me because I am always in that thing. | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
By thing, I take it he means the chair. Happily was Christopher | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
Berwick from Chatham. His cruel comments left her depressed and | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
suicidal. Her mother, along with a friend and family, went round to | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
his house and assaulted him. Some people would say, you should never | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
take the law into your own hands. The police should have done their | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
job. To me, the system failed her, what was I meant to do? Mrs Hooper, | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
her son and friend pleaded guilty to assault. During the case, | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
Christopher had called -- the court heard that Christopher had called | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
her a cripple. Judges will always take very seriously any case where | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
someone has taken the law into their own hands. People who do that, | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
bring themselves down to the level of criminals. But you cannot really | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
have a blanket policy of just sending everyone to present in that | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
type of case, you have got to allow for individual circumstance. | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
Kent police say they have no records of any calls from their | :03:09. | :03:19. | |
:03:19. | :03:25. | ||
Kim is backing what her family did. Any parent of a disabled daughter | :03:25. | :03:35. | |
:03:35. | :03:37. | ||
would react in the same way. Any brother would react in the same way. | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
Our reporter John joins us from Chatham. This family could be -- | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
could have expected to get a jail sentence? | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
They pleaded guilty to actual bodily harm, a crime that can | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
attract a sentence up to five years in prison. Christopher Berwick was | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
punched so hard he then left with the imprint of his attacker's wing | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
in his face. Because of the exceptional circumstances, the | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
judge issued sentences of a conditional discharge and community | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
penalties. There are two victims in this case, Kim, abused over | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
Facebook, and Christopher, the Facebook abuser who was punched in | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
the face. He refused to comment today. | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
On BBC Radio Kent's breakfast programme tomorrow, John and Claire | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
will have interviews on this story with the Chairman of the Criminal | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
Bar Association and the chief executive of the charity Beat | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
Bullying. Eurotunnel is facing the threat of | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
strike action over the Bank Holiday weekend after French unions | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
demanded a sharp pay rise. The company says it's suspended taking | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
further return bookings for this coming Saturday, Sunday and Monday. | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
Simon Jones is in Folkestone. Simon, this couldn't come at a worse time | :04:47. | :04:56. | |
:04:57. | :04:57. | ||
for the company. That is right. This weekend is set to be one of | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
the busiest travel weekend of the year. You have got families | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
returning from the summer holidays ahead of the start of the new | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
school year. You have also got people wanted to head over to | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
France to enjoy the long weekend. Eurotunnel is due to carry 100,000 | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
passengers over the bank holiday. The problem is, four unions in | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
France have made a pay increase demand of 8%. The unions say if | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
this not agreed to by Friday, they will begin indefinite strike action. | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
Eurotunnel says it simply cannot meet this demand in the current | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
economic climate. Travel experts say this is a big problem for the | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
company. I fear this will cause some significant damage to the | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
cross-Channel market as a whole. One reason people choose to travel | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
to Calais by ferry or by Eurotunnel is because, frankly, it is a lot | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
more civilised than the airline alternative of. It will disrupt | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
potentially tens of thousands of British holidaymakers returning | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
home. It is going to be a major disruption. What have Eurotunnel | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
said? Eurotunnel is suggesting it will be able to run services as | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
normal, because it is the French workers going on strike. They say | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
the British workers will be able to fill in behind them, driving the | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
trains, and even at manning the terminal in France. I understand, | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
today, there have been emergency meetings taking place in Dover | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
between the ferry companies and port bosses with a plan of | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
introducing extra ferry services of the worst so there -- if the worst | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
scenario emerges is. In a moment: Left to rot, the | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
Kentish farmers warning the plum industry could be killed off by | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
cheap foreign imports. Doctors in Kent are trialling a new | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
treatment that could transform the lives of thousands of patients | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
whose awareness of their left side has been affected by a stroke. | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
150,000 people suffer from strokes in Britain each year. As many as a | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
quarter of them could benefit from the new treatment, which is being | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
funded by a �310,000 grant from the Medical Research Council. Sara | :07:09. | :07:18. | |
Smith has this report. When Stephen suffered a huge stroke | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
more than two years ago, he was left paralysed on one side and in | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
hospital for eight months. Gradually, some movement did return, | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
but one thing remained badly affected. Although his eyes were | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
not damaged, his brain could not recognise anything to his left. | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
it is on my left hand side, my balance is not very good, and I | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
would be forever falling over and I worry about breaking my hips. | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
could only shake on the right hand side, I had to shave the other side. | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
Your tablets, wasn't it, if I put the tablets on his left hand side, | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
he would not be aware they were there. He would not into people, I | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
would be forever apologising, because he would not see them. But | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
it does not look like he cannot see them. But this little machine has | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
made a big difference to Stephen's life. Developed in collaboration | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
between the Kent and Canterbury Hospital and the University of Kent, | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
it delivers a small electric current to the nerve behind the ear. | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
Parties connected to a system which controls balance, and that in turn | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
stimulates the temporal lobe on the damaged right side of the brain, | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
reawakening its awareness of those things on the left. We have seen | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
some significant benefits. So, our goal now is to try and this -- | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
tried this on a much larger people to see if the benefits we have | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
shown in those benefit are more widespread. Simple drawing tests | :08:51. | :08:58. | |
showed just how some much -- just so much people are affected. | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
vision is OK, but his brain is not receiving the left side of the | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
world. But since his treatment, Stephen's left hand world is coming | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
back to him. I have got a mobility scooter, I can go out all the time | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
because I have got more attention to the path -- to my left hand side. | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
The new trial will find that if others can benefit as much. | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
A woman in her 50s has died after being hit by a car in north Kent. | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
The woman suffered fatal injuries during the incident near a | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
McDonald's restaurant on Cobham Terrace in Greenhithe shortly | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
before 7:30 this morning. Police are appealing for witnesses. | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
Police are continuing their appeal for help to identify a man who's | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
been found suffering from complete memory loss. The man, who's in his | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
late 50s to early 60s, claims to have woken up on a beach in Deal in | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
Kent last Wednesday. He then walked into the town's Victoria hospital | :09:51. | :10:00. | |
saying he had head pains and amnesia. | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
CCTV images have been released by the British Transport Police of | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
people they want to talk to after a number of alleged crimes on our | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
railways. They're looking for this man after a woman had her phone and | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
camera stolen on a train between Crowborough and London Bridge. And | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
they want to speak this man after a woman was punched in the face | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
travelling from Brighton to Worthing. And they're searching for | :10:18. | :10:25. | |
these people after a man had his computer stolen at Strood station. | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
A British lorry driver who smuggled more than 6 million cigarettes | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
through Dover has been jailed for four and a half years. 45 year old | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
Colin Beattie was found guilty of evading more than �1 million in | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
excise duty following an investigation by Revenue and | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
Customs. He was caught in 2009 after travelling from Calais by | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
ferry. Two people have been arrested | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
following a fire in Rochester. 13 people were rescued from a block of | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
flats off Gravel Walk in the town just after midnight. A man and a | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
woman were arrested in the early hours of this morning on suspicion | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
of arson with intent to endanger life, and are currently in police | :10:54. | :11:03. | |
custody. Lynda Hardy reports. Back at his block of flats from | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
where been was dragged to safety last night after a fire believed to | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
have started in the ground floor filled the building with smoke. | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
opened my door, and the smoke was that bad it made my eyes scathing. | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
I could not breathe. I opened my front door, saw what happened, shut | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
it, called My neighbour who was ahead the sleeper. I called the | :11:28. | :11:35. | |
fire engine. They were in the -- they were there within five minutes. | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
Residents are not being allowed back here for the foreseeable | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
future, after their home, a place which is now a crime scene. The | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
flats are being boarded up to stop anyone getting in as a police | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
investigation continues and the damage is assessed. We have got | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
Surveyors reviewing the property. The police are treating it as a | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
crime scene so we have to wait for them to give us a cure had to going | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
and carry out any work. Until we have done a thorough assessment, it | :12:07. | :12:14. | |
is premature to see -- say when residents can get back in. | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
safety checks continue, those who live here face another night in a | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
hotel or staying with friends and relatives, uncertain when they will | :12:22. | :12:32. | |
:12:32. | :12:33. | ||
be allowed to return home. It is 6:40pm. A mother from Chatham | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
who has admitted taking part on an attack on a teenager has been | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
spared attendance because he had been so dealing -- abusing her | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
severely disabled daughter over the internet. | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
Also in tonight's programme: 72 years in the job. The 90 year | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
old from Folkestone who shows no sign of work fatigue. | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
And blooming marvellous, the pictures of mums to be that are | :12:54. | :13:04. | |
:13:04. | :13:23. | ||
winning awards for a Sussex It's the height of the British plum | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
season, and in Kent, where half of all English plums are grown, | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
they've got a bumper crop. But tonnes of perfectly good plums | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
could be left to rot because growers say supermarkets are | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
importing cheaper fruit from Europe. The National Farmers Union says it | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
could lead to the end of the British plum industry. Rebecca | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
Barry has the latest in our Food Chain series. | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
Dumped and left to rot. This could be the fate of tons of plums are | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
produced in Kent because farmers cannot sell them to supermarkets. | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
Several growers have not bothered even picking their fruit because | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
there was not a market. They were told they could not sell it, which | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
is a very sad occasion for Kent. We have fantastic plum crops. We are | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
the garden of England but we are not allowed to sell it. Here, the | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
fruit is kept in cold stores. If they do not sell it soon, it will | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
be thrown away. A punnet of Victoria plums like these are | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
produced in Kent will cost supermarkets 65p. They can get them | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
from abroad for as little as 45p. That means of tonnes of crude like | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
this will simply go to waste. Samarkand farmers are even planning | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
to rip up their plum trees to start again with a different crop. -- | :14:41. | :14:48. | |
some Kent farmers. We are at the height of the English plum season. | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
I was in a supermarket yesterday, there were plums from Sweden -- | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
France and Spain but there were no English plums. We have a bumper | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
crop of beautiful British fruit available right now, and consumers | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
are not being given the opportunity to buy British trick. So we went to | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
look for ourselves. Sainsbury's had won a variety of Kent plums, but | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
three others from Spain, France and Portugal. At Tesco, we had Kent | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
plums and also some from Portugal. Is the pressure for a bigger | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
profits squeezing out bigger growers? I do not accept that. | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
There are Kentish plums out there, they are great value, go into the | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
shop and look for them, they are on promotion, buy them and we will | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
sell even more. If not, this could be the picture across Kent, where | :15:39. | :15:49. | |
:15:49. | :15:52. | ||
half of England's plums are grown At 6.30 this morning, as ever, Yve | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
Moore was first to arrive at her office. Some of you may think | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
that's remarkable in itself but when you learn that she is 90 years | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
old, it becomes pretty amazing. Yve has worked for the same legal firm | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
in Folkestone since she was a teenager in the 1930s and 72 years | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
later, she remains a vital and valued member of the team. Robin | :16:10. | :16:18. | |
Gibson reports. She has seen more of these stairs | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
than anyone in the building, because Yve Moore came to work here | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
for just six months in 1939, and she is still holding her own, both | :16:28. | :16:38. | |
:16:38. | :16:43. | ||
at work and on these stairs, 72 She is an important part of the way | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
the office runs. She is still a significant member of our staff. | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
She has got an enormous amount of experience and knowledge which we | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
rely on and draw on every day. So, really, we cannot think of being | :16:57. | :17:04. | |
without her. It keeps me active, rather than, you know, growing like | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
a cabbage! Her story sets the current debate on retirement at 65 | :17:10. | :17:17. | |
or even 70 on its head. I did retire for half a day. Half a day? | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
You actually said, I am retiring? said, I am going to retire, but | :17:22. | :17:29. | |
they said, come back, we wanted to do this and that, and we stayed. | :17:29. | :17:36. | |
Yve is no slouch. By 6:20pm, every day, she sets off down the garden | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
path to walk to work. At 6:30am, she is first to arrive at the | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
office and has done a lot of work before anyone else is even in the | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
building. She has always been one for routine. The young secretary | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
posing in the office garden has matured, in a way, into its heart | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
and soul. She has got a wonderful memory. She has got a good sense of | :17:59. | :18:06. | |
humour. She may be 90, but I think we forget she is 90. Every decade | :18:06. | :18:13. | |
past is greeted with a party. So where will it all again? I will be | :18:13. | :18:22. | |
here until I am chucked out, or can't come in! | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
We have got lots of respect for Yve, I do not know why she does -- I do | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
not know how she does it! Brighton and Hove Albion's great | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
start to the season continued last night as the Seagulls kicked | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
Premier League Sunderland out of the Carling Cup with an extra time | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
victory at The Amex. Charlton will join them in the third round after | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
beating Reading, but Crawley are out after their defeat by Crystal | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
Palace. Ian Palmer reports. Brighton have had some sweet | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
victories of late but this is right up there with the best of them. 90 | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
minutes couldn't separate the Seagulls from Sunderland, so extra | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
time followed. Six minutes later it took the head of the new signing | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
Craig Mackail-Smith to put Brighton into the third round of the | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
competition. The manager Gus Poyet praised his team's performance but | :19:01. | :19:09. | |
warned them not to get ahead of themselves. We need to keep things | :19:09. | :19:16. | |
calm. We have had a dream start. Every week, it is getting better | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
and bigger. At the same time, we do not want to think we are too good. | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
And get a bad result in three or four days. We need to make sure we | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
keep playing like we are. neutrals say Brighton deserved | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
their win. Mackail-Smith coming close with an earlier effort in | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
normal time. Sunderland's best chance came soon after the start. | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
Brighton's unbeaten record continues. The final score 1-0. | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
Charlton are also unbeaten. Their match against Reading ended 2-1 to | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
the Addicks. It's a major scalp given Reading were Championship | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
finalists last year. Paul Benson opened the account after 25 minutes. | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
Jason Euell scored the second after the break. Reading pulled one back | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
to make it a rather nervy end. The final score 2-1. It wasn't a happy | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
evening for Crawley Town. They were beaten 2 nil by Crystal Palace. The | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
Red Devils started well with a number of well crafted attempts but | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
Zaha ensured the night belonged to the home side. Crawley never gave | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
up though. That attitude will serve the League Two side well later in | :20:16. | :20:24. | |
the season. The final score 2-0 to Crystal Palace. | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
And you can see extended highlights of all the Carling Cup matches | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
later tonight on The League Cup Show at 11.30 here on BBC One. | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
East Grinstead striker Ashley Jackson has helped England thrash | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
France to reach the semi-finals of the European Hockey Championships | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
in Germany. Jackson grabbed a hat- trick in an impressive 8-1 victory | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
that sets up a likely clash on Friday against hosts Germany for a | :20:45. | :20:52. | |
place in the final. And good luck to Natalie Seymour from Canterbury, | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
along with her England colleagues, as they take on Netherlands | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
tomorrow in their european championships semi-final. | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
When a pregnant Demi Moore posed naked for the cover of a magazine, | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
it caused a sensation. Since then celebrities including Halle Berry, | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
Monica Belucci and most recently Mylene Klass have all recreated her | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
pose. Now a Sussex photographer who specialises in taking pictures of | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
pregnant women and their newborn babies has been named the South | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
East's Master Photographer of the year. Sarah Tate from Heathfield is | :21:21. | :21:29. | |
now in the running for a national title. Claudia Sermbezis reports. | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
Let's get him in position first so he is nice and comfy. Keep his arm | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
there if you want to. They beat Scott is six days old, but this is | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
his second visit to Serie -- Sarah Tate's studio. Last time, he was | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
not born. Now one of Sarah's images has been chosen as the best in the | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
South East. The pregnancy one, that one just stood out immediately, as | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
soon as I started editing it. The look on her face, the way she was | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
standing was lovely. It is something that I work for every | :22:04. | :22:12. | |
year. So to act to resubmit it, and then, one of the most prestigious | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
judges, a for him to actually pick my images and state some lovely | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
things about them was an ageing -- amazing pulled Judi was eight-and- | :22:21. | :22:29. | |
a-half months pregnant when she decided to have her photo taken. | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
were going to go a week later, and I am glad because I got stretch | :22:34. | :22:40. | |
marks overnight! The fashion for photographing pregnant women took | :22:40. | :22:47. | |
off three it -- 20 years ago after Demi Moore stripped off to show her | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
burgeoning band. I saw them in a magazine, and that is probably what | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
convinced me what it looked like. It was a really iconic image. I | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
think we have got one with Julie, it is a really good shop which will | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
go in our bedroom, because she does not want to show the rest of the | :23:05. | :23:14. | |
House! It will take pride of place. That is lovely, well done. Sarah | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
has also won an award for best children's portrayed with this shot. | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
Now her picture is in the running for the master photographer | :23:25. | :23:32. | |
national finals in October. That is like week -- that is what | :23:32. | :23:42. | |
:23:42. | :23:44. | ||
we like to bring the at 6:30pm, It was quite a great start to the | :23:44. | :23:54. | |
:23:54. | :23:54. | ||
day, -- quite a grey start. Mostly dry, into tomorrow, we will see a | :23:54. | :24:03. | |
heavy rain and light winds. It will be feeling cooler than today. Today, | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
initially we saw some showers first thing. They have been clearing. It | :24:06. | :24:12. | |
has been increased my dry. The weather fronts state well to the | :24:12. | :24:22. | |
:24:22. | :24:29. | ||
Despite the breezes, it has felt a good deal warmer than yesterday. As | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
we move through the first part of the evening, and nice, fine and | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
bright evening. It stays dry into tonight, but the cloud cover will | :24:37. | :24:43. | |
be thickening. We will see rain at first thing tomorrow. Tonight, it | :24:43. | :24:50. | |
stays dry, quite a mild night. Initially, a dry starts to tomorrow. | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
Very quickly, the rain will be spreading across the South East, | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
some heavier pulses of living that. Because the breezes are fairly | :24:59. | :25:09. | |
:25:09. | :25:09. | ||
light, is will not be moving quickly. Temperatures similar to | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
today but feeling cooler under that cement -- unsettled weather. | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
Tomorrow night, that rate will clear up east. -- the rain will | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
clear it east. We will have further rain pushing in it from the south. | :25:25. | :25:34. | |
Some heavier horses. -- some heavy horses. Unfortunately for Festival | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
Friday, it is looking fairly grotty. Take your umbrella as if you were | :25:39. | :25:47. | |
going along. That rain will be clearing, but it will be a dull | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
picture. Sorry about that! The area of low pressure is going to be | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
moving in across the south-east, eventually clearing away. By the | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
time we get to the weekend, high pressure building from the south- | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
west. The Iraq showers on Saturday but increasingly bright on Sunday. | :26:09. | :26:19. | |
:26:19. | :26:22. | ||

wet suit. This week, we are going to Herne Bay. | :26:25. | :26:29. | |

Let's have a look at the headlines. The Libyan capital has seen some of | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
the most intense clashes yet as rebel forces have come under | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
renewed fire of bright -- from diehard supporters of Colonel | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
Gaddafi. A mother from Chatham who admitted | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
taking part on a violent attack on a teenager has been spared a jail | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
sentence because he had been abusing her severely disabled | :27:25. | :27:32. |
