Welcome to South East Today, I'm Polly Evans. | :00:03. | :00:06. | |
And I'm Rob Smith. Tonight's top stories. Sussex Police raid shops | :00:06. | :00:08. | |
selling smuggled cigarettes, the day after our exclusive report | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
showed the extent of the trade. We'll be reporting live from | :00:12. | :00:22. | |

cigarettes worth thousands of pounds have been seized in police | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
raids on shops in Sussex and six people have been arrested. It comes | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
after BBC South East Today exposed a widespread illicit trade in | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
Hastings and St Leonards. Our Home Affairs Correspondent Colin | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
Campbell was given exclusive access to the operation and joins us live | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
in Hastings. Colin, a significant amount of illicit tobacco has now | :01:16. | :01:26. | |
:01:26. | :01:31. | ||
been taken off the streets. Yes, 140,000 fake cigarettes, many | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
packets of smuggled hand-rolling tobacco. The police estimate this | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
has a street value of around �30,000. It was due to be sold over | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
the counter in Hastings and in St Leonards. If that had happened, it | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
would have cheated the Government of about �25,000 in lost tax | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
revenue. It has been bagged up and would be used as evidence. | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
It was a large police operation targeting shopkeepers that | :01:56. | :02:06. | |
:02:06. | :02:06. | ||
illegally sell smuggled tobacco. Behind locked doors, officers found | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
what they were looking for. Boxers of counterfeit cigarettes. It is a | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
substantial find. Hastings is only part of a small picture, and this | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
is a national organised criminal activity. Quite frankly, it is an | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
insignificant amount compared to the trade, the illegal trade that | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
is happening across the country. Selling smuggled cigarettes over | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
the country yesterday, we exposed the scale of the listed tobacco | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
trade in Hastings and St Leonards. It is costing the Government | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
billions and affecting law-abiding businesses. You're not just a tax | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
cheat. You are doing legitimate to newsagents at of business by | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
selling these, do you understand that? No. The shopkeepers we | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
brought these from a made no comment. Two of the shops featured | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
in our investigation were today raided. Police and trading | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
standards have had these shops under investigation for the last | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
three months, and like us, they have carried out covert purchasers | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
of smuggled, illicit tobacco. Six people were arrested today. In the | :03:15. | :03:22. | |
boot of a car of one of those detained, more smuggle tobacco. A | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
bigger problem is the sale of smuggled and counterfeit tobacco in | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
Hastings and St Leonard? In the last few months, and the new | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
investigation as well, it shows that it has been growing, so it is | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
time to act on it and stop it from getting any bigger. The police hope | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
the operation and feature crackdowns will severely disrupt | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
the sale of smuggled tobacco, sending a message that it will not | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
be tolerated. Two shops were closed down today | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
during the raids, because they breached fire regulations. Six | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
people are being questioned in connection with this operation this | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
evening, which Sussex police believe is just the start of a very | :04:06. | :04:16. | |
:04:16. | :04:26. | ||
long campaign. Welcome to South East Today, I'm | :04:26. | :04:36. | |
:04:36. | :04:38. | ||
This week's eviction at Dale Farm have questioned were people should | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
be moved to in the future. New housing estates should be required | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
to provide pictures alongside new homes. They would have better | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
access to services and for the community at large, certainly, if | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
the planning system actually brings the travelling community back into | :04:56. | :05:03. | |
the fold, where they do not need to break the law, it would help in | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
terms of the level playing field. mixed reception in this new | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
community. It would be dreadful for the people that own their houses | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
here, from a devaluation point of view, from the mess. I cannot say | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
how I am agreeing with it. But I can understand that they need | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
somewhere to go. That should be allocated spot for them so that the | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
Dale Farm situation doesn't happen again. No plans for any traveller | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
pictures on this new development in Sittingbourne, but the councillor | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
says that his idea got the go-ahead, it would not be caravans turning up, | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
he would envisage modern mobile chalets that would not be as a | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
place on housing development. a fantasy idea. It is totally | :05:49. | :05:59. | |
:05:59. | :06:01. | ||
unrealistic. I do not think they will buy into a gypsy ghetto on the | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
side of their estate. It is also not in the interest of the | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
travelling community. Travel a group say it could prevent sites | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
turning up like this one here. more investigation -- integration, | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
than on the periphery of society where we were put, because most | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
traveller sites are in the middle of nowhere. Not in amongst society | :06:23. | :06:33. | |
:06:33. | :06:50. | ||
at all. They hope is it could stop another Dale Farm are rising. In a | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
moment. A rich crop of British apples and pears at the National | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
Fruit Show, but how do farmers persuade supermarkets to sell | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
local? Four South East MPs have signed a | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
motion calling for a referendum to be held on UK membership of the EU. | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
All three main parties have told their MPs to vote against the | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
motion. The MP for Crawley - Henry Smith, Tracey Crouch the MP for | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
Chatham and Aylesford, Sittingbourne and Sheppey's Gordon | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
Henderson and the member for Rochester and Strood Mark Reckless | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
have indicated they may defy their leadership and vote in favour on | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
Monday. Well we've been in their constituencies to gauge reaction | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
there. We cannot be isolated as a nation. | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
We have to accept there is a big world out there and we have to | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
accept it. I would prefer to be out of bed and have more control of our | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
destiny. We are in debt because of other countries. I think it is | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
better that we pull away from it than stay in it. We should just be | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
left alone. If you look at it now, Greece, it is all part of the euro, | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
and they are in worse trouble than we are. We should get some of the | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
powers back that our taken away and a daily basis. It is an issue there | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
needs to be made by the people and not by politicians, personally. | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
We're joined now from Westminster by one of the MPs who's signed the | :08:04. | :08:12. | |
motion, Mark Reckless. Are you resurrecting an old argument that | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
the Euro-sceptics lost? It is not me resurrecting it, we had a | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
petition signed by hundreds of thousands of people. For the first | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
time, we are seeing Parliament debating what the public want. We | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
had a meeting earlier in the weekend it was decided that the | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
major issue that we were being pressed to consider by the public | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
was the issue of the EU, and whether we should stay part of | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
Europe as it has become, or if we should become an independent | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
country trading with Europe but the governing ourselves. That is | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
dangerous territory for the Tories because infighting over Europe | :08:50. | :08:57. | |
eerie told the party apart in the 90s. -- nearly tore the party apart. | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
My constituency sent me to Westminster to represent their | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
interests, and in particular, to take decisions and make laws, and | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
it is right that those decisions over your viewers lives should be | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
made by people that they elect and can call to account. What interests | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
me is that if in fact you say that you're representing your | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
constituents interests and other MPs are as well, why are so few | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
were few putting your head above the parapet? The better of Taj | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
Group only has 10 MPs as members. There are many more than that, | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
there are 60 Conservatives that supported this motion and many | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
other colleagues will be consulting constituents over the weekend and | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
debating and listening to colleagues on Monday. They will | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
make a decision. When we went into Europe first, it was presented as a | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
common market. We were told there would be political sacrifice but | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
economic benefit, but now, with the euro, that has been a disaster and | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
we're paying �20 billion a year for the privilege of having other | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
countries make laws for us. We should decide these things at | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
Westminster and if people do not approve of these things, they | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
should be able to try out the politicians that make them. We | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
should decide issues for our constituents and not be told how to | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
vote by the whips or anyone else, and I would be doing the right | :10:18. | :10:25. | |
thing for my constituents and voting to have a referendum so that | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
Fagin decided rather than the politicians at Westminster. Thank | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
you. Our political editor Louise Stewart | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
joins us now. Louise, how significant do you think it is that | :10:34. | :10:41. | |
these south east MP's look like they might rebel? It is significant, | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
David Cameron is taking the rebellion seriously because he is | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
talking tough and he has warned that government members that defy | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
the party line and do not vote with the party will lose their | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
government jobs. He has said that it will probably be a three-line | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
whip, we have not had it confirmed yet. What this means is that MPs | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
that do not vote with the Government lose the Government | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
favour if you like, and with it, any chance of the future promotion, | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
so people take quite a big risk putting their head above the | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
parapet here. Why is David Cameron so worried? This is not binding, so | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
if they did lose, they would not have to have a referendum, but | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
because Europe is such a divisive issue for the Conservatives, and | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
the fact four MPs in the south-east have said they would defy the | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
Government, it is an issue that spits the party and he will want to | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
quash any rebellion from avoiding that happening? | :11:38. | :11:48. | |
:11:48. | :11:56. | ||
And you can get more details on the website. Verdicts of misadventure | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
after two boys died in a fire in Eastbourne. The two boys were found | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
huddled together in a camp that they had made. Their mother was | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
recovering from a drinking session was told by a coroner to date, they | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
did not die because of neglect, and her actions came nowhere near to | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
unlawful killing. Two people arrested in connection | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
with a collision on a level crossing in Kent have been released | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
on bail. The early morning service from Ramsgate to London hit an | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
abandoned car in Cliffs End yesterday. Four people were on | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
board but no one was hurt. The incident led to delays on the rail | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
network. The man and the woman, both in their 40s will be | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
questioned again on the 15th December. | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
A man from Kent has had to have part of his leg amputated after | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
completing a walk in his sister's memory. Peter Morris, from | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
Gillingham in Kent, had been trying to raise the profile of murder | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
victims' families. A diabetic, his blisters became infected with | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
gangrene, and his right foot has now been amputated. His sister | :12:55. | :13:05. | |
:13:05. | :13:06. | ||
Claire Morris was murdered by Malcolm Webster in 1994. The 150 | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
mile walk wasn't such a choice, it was a compulsion. I felt I had no | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
choice, I so much wanted to do it. By has no regrets. Obviously, I | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
would like to have two legs, who wouldn't, but I cannot have that, | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
that is the way it is. I have ended up in this situation, and if I had | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
to do it again, I would do it again. The husband and daughter of a woman | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
who tried to claim one and a half million pounds in compensation by | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
exaggerating her injuries after she was hit by a Brighton bus have been | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
given suspended prison sentences. Sherihan Brooks and her father | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
Nabil Tadrous, seen here at the front, were sentenced for making | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
false and dishonest statements describing Thereza Daoud from Hove | :13:44. | :13:52. | |
as a 'virtual cripple'. Our reporter Claudia Sermbezis is in | :13:52. | :13:59. | |
Brighton now, Claudia, how was it discovered the family had lied? | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
was described as a grossly disabled, rack of four-woman, by her husband | :14:04. | :14:13. | |
and her daughter. -- wreck of a woman. In 26 months, private | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
investigators secretly filmed her dancing at her daughter's wedding, | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
Howard shopping and at the hairdresser's. This all began on | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
this stretch of road in Brighton back in 2005 when she was hit by a | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
bus. It has never been disputed that she did receive a serious head | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
injury, what has been disputed is a recovery. The family described her | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
as a virtual cripple, not so, say the courts. | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
Our top story tonight. Thousands of pounds worth of cigarettes have | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
been seized in police raids on a number of shops in Sussex today. | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
Six people have been arrested and two shops have been closed down. It | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
comes after BBC South East Today exposed a widespread illicit trade | :14:52. | :15:01. | |
in Hastings and St Leonards. Also. The best of British racing | :15:01. | :15:04. | |

Despite bumper harvests, growers of apples and pears say they are still | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
finding it difficult to sell enough of their produce to British | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
supermarkets. The current market share of UK apples is 40%. The | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
target is to raise it to 50%. This year's harvest of UK apples is up | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
8% on last year. For the latest in our Food Chain series, our | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
Environment Correspondent, Yvette Austin reports from the final day | :15:44. | :15:51. | |
of the National Fruit Show at Detling. | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
A showcase of English apples and pears, a huge range of varieties, | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
old and new, taking the stand in a display of colour and beauty. | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
have got lots of different cooking apples, beautiful red shiny apples, | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
we use them quite quickly from the tree, so they are not many | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
available for commercial sales. These are two different colours | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
here, the darker ones are rare type that our local to the show. These | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
are new apples that have only been available in the shop for four | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
years, but in the last year, this has been voted the tastiest Apple. | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
While they are celebrating the harvest, they believe that more | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
work can be done to get English apples rather than foreign apples | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
into the shopping bags. Base-rate increase in the fair share means | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
more investment in markets. �1 a bag is a good way of getting fruit | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
in front of the consume her in good condition. But as we store it more, | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
we need a higher retail price to justify the storage, cost of | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
storage and to enable reinvestment in more orchards going forward. | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
They also like more new varieties to extend the season. These are a | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
brand new variety, this is carefully timed, because it is | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
available from mid- August through to the first week of September, | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
picking off the tree. We will pick the red ones that are ready, put | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
them straight into market, then go again when the next ones arrive, | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
and then towards the middle of September, we start putting them | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
into cold storage. They will be in the shops up to Christmas. These | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
trees have been empty for over a month. It is an exceptionally early | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
variety and distinctively sweet. It is right is like this that farmers | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
say will help them to reach their 50 % market share target. | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
Maidstone's Museum is set in an Elizabethan Manor House in the | :17:51. | :17:58. | |
middle of town. When the trustees wanted to extend the building to be | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
able to show more of their collection they had a choice. | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
Either try and blend in to the existing brickwork - or boldly go | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
all modern. They chose modern - and the new �3.7 million addition has | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
been variously described as "revolutionary" and "a carbuncle". | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
Lynda Hardy reports. You certainly will not miss this | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
building easily, and there is a mixed reaction to the museum's new | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
cold front. I do not like it at all, it is not in character with the | :18:26. | :18:33. | |
building. I like a blend of old and modern together. A bit too bold and | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
out there and two gold for my liking. The idea of differentiating | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
the old and the new is great, so the principle is fantastic. Those | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
behind the refurbishment hope any controversy its new for SAD has | :18:46. | :18:53. | |
covered will simply have to attract more visitors. -- its new front has | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
created. The gallery they do opened in 2009, that controversial Gallery | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
in Hastings due to open next year and the Turner Contemporary in | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
Margate that opened in May, that has already exceeded its annual | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
target for a visitor numbers. of the areas we are looking to | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
generate is the visitor economy. We have a really good heritage area | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
and this is just part of it. More space inside also means more | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
exhibits will be brought out of storage. This is a very special | :19:25. | :19:32. | |
item. This is the thigh bone of a dinosaur. The first fossil skeleton | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
to be found ever in the world was found in Maidstone. We blathered on | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
display in a short time. Another of the exhibits that visitors will see | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
for the first time in this new museum is this in mind metre-long | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
Solomon Islands can do. It has never been shown before because | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
they did not have the space. It opens next week and will be fully | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
functional next March, hoping to have been the regeneration of this | :19:59. | :20:06. | |
town. -- to help in the regeneration. | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
I don't mind it! I would like to see it in the flesh. | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
I'm not getting involved! Many of the UK's best young racing | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
drivers were at Buckmoor Park today to take part in a Henry Surtees | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
Charity Race. A minute's silence was held at the event for Dan | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
Wheldon the British driver who died in America at the weekend as Neil | :20:25. | :20:35. | |
:20:35. | :20:38. | ||
Bell reports. Just over two years ago Henry | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
Surtees died in a freak accident. His father had gathered many of the | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
country's best young drivers, certain that the sport is safer now | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
than it ever was. Motorsport today with the date allergy debt has been | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
involved and is continually evolving is fantastically safe. | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
There has been vast changes since the days that I raced when you're | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
sitting in between three fuel tanks. If he went off the road, it was | :21:08. | :21:15. | |
just as likely that it went bang. Even so, accidents still happen. A | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
British driver died last weekend after crashing at 200 mph. He was a | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
graduate of Bob Moore Park and the drivers at the event today held a | :21:24. | :21:33. | |
minute's silence for them. You're doing 230 mph, and you're literally | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
touching, let alone close, you're testing at that speed. It was a | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
freak accident that happened. It was a freak accident and it can | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
happen anywhere, it happens all the time, so we have to accept that and | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
understand that is part of it. It is part of what makes it exciting. | :21:52. | :21:59. | |
Proceeds from this race will go to the Henry Surtees Foundation. The | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
drivers were all keen to support it. It is a really good cause and | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
people do it because it is him and everyone knew who he was. It is | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
great to get everyone together again and it is a really good vibe. | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
The sport is thrilling, the rewards potentially huge, but tragedy could | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
quite literally be just around the corner. | :22:21. | :22:31. | |
:22:31. | :22:32. | ||
We have still got the cold air at the moment, the weather at their, | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
it is quite difficult to move away all the cold weather that is there. | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
The first half of tonight is where we have this cold air like last | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
night. The temperatures are getting close to freezing. The clear skies, | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
the light wind, temperature is getting to their minimum nattered | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
the usual time of four or five am, probably around 3am when we will | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
get temperatures down to-one or minus two degrees. It would be a | :23:02. | :23:12. | |
:23:12. | :23:12. | ||
frosty evening and a frosty night. We have got a little bit of good | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
news overnight and tomorrow night with the peak of the meteor shower | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
happening. You will need to be looking out at the whole sky, as | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
much as possible between midnight and 5am. That is when the peak of | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
it happens. The reason is, every time at this time of the year, the | :23:28. | :23:35. | |
most famous of the comments, we tend to go into its orbit. -- the | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
famous of the connects. The debris is the size of a grain of sand but | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
it travels at 41 miles per second and that burns up as it hits the | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
atmosphere. That creates a shooting star. That is tonight and tomorrow | :23:51. | :23:59. | |
night. We have got some clear skies, probably several per hour, so not a | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
major meteor shower. The cloud was started pushing and then, and | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
tomorrow, Keddy picture, that is when the wind will pick up to a | :24:08. | :24:15. | |
south-westerly. Tomorrow, the south-westerly wind will mean | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
things are a bit milder, feeling less cold, but bringing in the | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
cloud with it. Typically when you get the south-westerly, you get | :24:24. | :24:33. | |
moisture in from the Atlantic. Possibly some showers. There will | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
be some sunny spells through tomorrow and the temperatures | :24:36. | :24:43. | |
reaching 12 or 13 degrees. Tomorrow evening, a chance of some clear | :24:43. | :24:53. | |
:24:53. | :24:56. | ||
skies and may be that Meacher a share, but into satyr. -- but into | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
Saturday, the wind will pick up. Temperatures reaching 18 and 19 | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
degrees on Sunday, but as always, it doesn't last for ever, as soon | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
as we get into next week, some breezy, cloudy conditions on Monday, | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
hanging on to the cloud for Tuesday and this band of rain likely to | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
affect us later on Tuesday afternoon, that is when we were | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
likely see the next band of rain. I can't believe I'm saying this, yet | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
again, to us the end of October, please do not put your barbecues | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
please do not put your barbecues away just yet! | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
Thank you. Is it worth staying up for the meteor shower? | :25:36. | :25:43. | |
Definitely. This is a good one to lookout for. | :25:43. | :25:53. | |
