Welcome to South East Today, I'm Polly Evans. And I'm Rob Smith. | :00:06. | :00:09. | |
Tonight's top stories. Two men pleaded guilty to a Kent | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
grandmother's murder in India. Now they've been released without | :00:11. | :00:20. | |
charge. Her family say they just want justice. The could slip road | :00:20. | :00:29. | |
and it, and that was exactly what has happened. Six of our Tory MPs | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
defy David Cameron and rebel over Europe. But is it really an issue | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
for voters in the south east? Also in tonight's programme: High hopes. | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
Tens of thousands of people back a South East charity by trying to | :00:43. | :00:50. | |
stop an X-Factor act making Christmas number one. The gateway | :00:50. | :01:00. | |
to India. 90 years of a memorial to the World War I troops nursed back | :01:00. | :01:07. | |
to health in Sussex. And flying the flag for his team - Fat Boy Slim | :01:08. | :01:17. | |
will be the first act to perform at Brighton's new stadium. Good | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
evening. They'd pleaded guilty to the murder of a Kent pensioner - | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
but tonight, the case against two men accused of kidnapping and | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
beheading Surjit Kaur while she was visiting relatives in India appears | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
to have collapsed. The 67-year-old mother-of-three from Chatham, was | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
killed during a trip to the Punjab earlier this year. Now her family | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
fear they'll never get justice. Alex Beard reports. The family of | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
the murdered woman had hoped the trial would put an end to the | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
horrifying ordeal, but that has not been the case and that while has | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
collapsed. Just don't know what to do next, really. We still haven't | :01:54. | :02:02. | |
got any answers until we get another update. 67-year-old Surjit | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
Kaur was visiting family in the Punjab earlier this year. Seven | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
weeks into the trap, she banished. I days later, had beheaded body was | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
found some 800 miles from where she was staying. Now the two men who | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
pleaded guilty to a killing have walked free, after the trial | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
collapsed in India. Absolutely devastated. As my brother said | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
before, we feared that they could slip through the net, and that is | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
exactly what has happened. trial was in a very remote part of | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
the Punjab, which has made finding out the most basic information very | :02:43. | :02:53. | |
:02:53. | :03:02. | ||
The Indian legal system is on trial internationally to make sure that | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
when somebody is muddled, their killers are brought to account. We | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
will put pressure on the Indian authorities to make sure that | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
justice is done. For the family of Surjit Kaur, the grief is | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
compounded with frustration that nobody has been held accountable | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
for her mother. Alex Beard reporting, and she's live from | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
Baljinder Singh's home town of Gillingham. Alex do we know any | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
more about why this trial collapsed? As you're in that report, | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
the location of the trial and the murder and extending it information | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
difficult. What we know is that the judicial system in in the is | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
different to the one we have here. Despite the guilty plea, there | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
needs to be a full trial. They need to hear from the police and | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
witnesses. We understand that one of the key witnesses has pulled out | :03:51. | :03:58. | |
so the trial as collapse. So the fight for the family here in Kent | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
to see justice for their mother continues. Six Conservative MPs | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
from the south east have given the Prime Minister a political bloody | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
nose, by taking part in their party's biggest ever rebellion over | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
Europe. In total, 81 Tories defied a three-line whip last night to | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
back a motion calling for a referendum on Britain's membership | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
of the EU. Among them, the Kent MPs Mark Reckless, Gordon Henderson and | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
Tracey Crouch, and the Crawley MP Henry Smith. Hove's Mike Weatherley | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
actively abstained, by voting both for and against the motion. | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
Gravesham MP Adam Holloway resigned his position as a ministerial aide | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
in order to rebel. He says he did it to keep the respect of his | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
constituents. Over the last seven years I have wandered around my | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
constituency saying to the good people there that I think we should | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
have a referendum and they should have the chance to make their voice | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
heard, that we should rewire our relationship with the EU, and then, | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
if we had a vote calling for just those things and I vote against it | :04:55. | :05:05. | |
:05:05. | :05:06. | ||
in I'll ridiculous to those people. So that is what I have achieved. | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
The rebels say they're campaigning on behalf of their constituents - | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
but is membership of Europe an issue that really matters to South | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
East voters? We asked people in Sittingbourne if they admired their | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
MP's decision to rebel - or thought he'd taken a stand over the wrong | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
issue. I admire Hull for standing up against the government, trying | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
to get the country back on track for the British people. We have got | :05:26. | :05:36. | |
:05:36. | :05:37. | ||
enough problems in Swale for him to fill up all his diary. I think | :05:37. | :05:44. | |
everybody should have, you know, have their say. I think he should | :05:44. | :05:54. | |
:05:54. | :05:57. | ||
concentrate on getting the regeneration in Swalw -- Swale. | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
That is more important to me at the moment. Well they were talking | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
about the Sittingbourne and Sheppey MP Gordon Henderson, and he joins | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
us live from Westminster. Was there really any point in a rebellion you | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
could never win - almost four times as many MPs opposed the referendum | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
as backed it. I did not look on it as a rebellion. A sector | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
constituents before the election that I would always booked their | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
interests before that of the Government and I would like to feel | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
that I did that. People in Sittingbourne were split, half and | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
half. Some said that there are enough problems to pull your by | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
area, from one day to the next. chap there said about concentrating | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
on economic regeneration. I am doing that. I have done a lot to | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
help encourage investment into our area. But we were not discussing | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
regeneration last night. The debate was on whether we should have a | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
referendum on Europe. That happens in my political life bus-stop I | :06:58. | :07:05. | |
cannot turn my back on the debate that is taking place in Parliament. | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
So this has effectively split the Conservatives down the middle again. | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
It does not matter, splitting the Conservatives. You have got to bear | :07:14. | :07:21. | |
in mind what we were the beating last night. What we were talking | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
about was giving the British people a referendum on whether or not we | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
should stay in Europe and the were debating it because the Prime | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
Minister give a commitment that any petition that was received in | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
Downing Street with over 100 pose and signatures would provoke a | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
debate in Parliament, and that is why we had a debate, and that is | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
what democracy is about. But if you go against the party whip, that | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
damages party unity and makes the Prime Minister look weak. I don't | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
think it damages the party at all. I am more interested in individual | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
MPs, who have to look at themselves in the mirror each morning. I can | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
lick in the manner, because I said long ago that I would push for the | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
referendum on Europe, and that is what I intend to do. -- to note in | :08:15. | :08:25. | |
:08:25. | :08:26. | ||
the mirror. This evening the Government is insisting the result | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
was not a humiliation, with one minister claiming the Conservatives | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
are "united as never before". But others fear there could be trouble | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
ahead for David Cameron. And you can find out more on our Political | :08:36. | :08:46. | |

Editor's blog: Coming up: The autumn weather just gets weirder. | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
Your pictures of a mini tornado off the Sussex coast. More than 60,000 | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
people have joined an online campaign backing a South East | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
charity, aiming to prevent any acts on The X-Factor from claiming this | :09:06. | :09:16. | |
:09:16. | :09:18. | ||
year's Christmas Number One. It follows the decision to name one of | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
the groups on the reality TV show "Rhythmix", despite there being a | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
long-established charity based in Brighton and Tunbridge Wells with | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
the same name. John Young reports. It has the power to create stars, | :09:29. | :09:39. | |
:09:39. | :09:39. | ||
and one of this year's creations, Rhythmix, is in a position to be in | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
this year's Christmas number one. But smells Like teen spirit buying | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
a banner has 60,000 people on Facebook signed up to make any | :09:48. | :09:56. | |
number one this Christmas, raising money for the Rhythmix, the charity | :09:56. | :10:03. | |
that has used the name far past 12 years, which help young people, | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
often be achieved, to learn about music. What has happened is that | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
the publicity we have had has been a public campaign, there of we get | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
in behind us, saying that this is morally wrong and that we want to | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
back this charity because we do not believe in what the X factor is | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
doing, that it is a good way to represent young people. This sort | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
of spoil a campaign has worked before. In 2005, the X Factor | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
winner, 2,000 -- Shane Warne, was Christmas number one. A year later | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
it was Leon Jackson's pot to do the double, next up was Alexandra burka, | :10:44. | :10:51. | |
and then in 2009, Joe Michel be was left stranded at number two, as | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
wage against the machine was propelled to the top spot in his | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
police because of a campaign against him. But not everyone was | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
against the X Factor in the town where the charity has its base. | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
People should treat the X Factor as a competition as a battle fund, and | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
not take things so personal. They should work together. If that | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
charity is for helping young children, they our young girls, in | :11:18. | :11:28. | |
:11:28. | :11:29. | ||
a ban, they should work together. - - a band. It is the listening | :11:29. | :11:39. | |
:11:39. | :11:42. | ||
public who will have the final say. John Young reporting. John, surely | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
the charity should be grateful for all the free publicity they're | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
receiving from this? We have been promised a statement, but it has | :11:48. | :11:57. | |
:11:58. | :12:02. | ||
not come true. They pointed out that the charity never fully | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
registered the name. The charity acknowledges they have got some | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
handy publicity poll this but they just want to carry on, | :12:12. | :12:21. | |
concentrating on they are charity work. Union leaders say a higher | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
percentage of women have lost their jobs through local authority budget | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
cuts here in the South East than anywhere else in the country. New | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
research by the GMB has found that more than three quarters of | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
employees axed by our councils were women, between the first quarter of | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
2010 and the second quarter of 2011. On average, women made up two- | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
thirds of the total in the rest of the UK. Three men have been jailed | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
for murdering a homeless man in Sussex. Craig Palmer's body was | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
found in January in Brighton. John Battams, Mike Zur and Ireneusz | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
Malesza were given minimum tariffs of 15 years behind bars. But a | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
fourth suspect was cleared of murder today at Lewes Crown Court. | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
The future of the struggling cross- Channel ferry company SeaFrance | :12:56. | :13:04. | |
could be decided tonight. A court hearing is taking place in Paris to | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
determine whether to sell all or part of the company, or even to | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
liquidate it. Simon Jones is live in Dover. And Simon, SeaFrance | :13:14. | :13:22. | |
workers are tonight anxiously awaiting the court ruling. | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
SeaFrance Employs 1,000 people, and many of them downed tools and went | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
to protest in Paris today. That means there will be no saint -- | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
ceilings at all between Dover and Calais. Yesterday the European | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
Commission ruled that the planned restructuring of the company could | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
not proceed. There are three of Oz on the table. One of them are | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
values the company for as little as three Euros. But you would be brave | :13:48. | :13:58. | |
:13:58. | :13:58. | ||
to take to the Channel at all today, anyway with this weather! A new | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
scheme offering extra help for the long-term unemployed to set up | :14:01. | :14:09. | |
their own businesses is being promoted in East Sussex. Hastings | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
has some of the most deprived districts in England - and the | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
local MP is calling for anyone who has been claiming jobseekers' | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
allowance for six months to take advantage of the New Enterprise | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
Allowance. Successful applicants will get an allowance worth almost | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
�1,300 over six months. They can then can bid for a loan of up to | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
�1,000 to help with start-up costs. They also get advice from a mentor | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
to help develop their idea. Our Business Correspondent, Mark Norman, | :14:30. | :14:39. | |
has more. You roll up the sugar paste very thinly. Did you crumble | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
it down into layers. This man had always made cakes for friends, and | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
the JobCentre suggested that the start his own business through the | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
new Enterprise Allowance. They go through the business plan to make | :14:52. | :14:59. | |
sure that it is a good idea. They help you out with accounting and | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
things like that. Almost 200 people have applied to the scheme across | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
Sussex and Surrey. They have to have been unemployed for six months, | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
and the scheme is administered through local business | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
organisations. The first than people want to know is well this | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
idea work? Is it going to be feasible? They need some help with | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
the numbers, about whether they are going to sell enough of their | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
products and services. One of the other things people are interested | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
in is Abdulaziz bin Nasser al Saud and financed it, because they have | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
not got much finance themselves. This is one of the projects that I | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
am setting up. It is a booklet that promotes St Leonards on Sea. | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
Catherine has started on this scheme and already has her first | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
paid job. The success for example, she walks, will encourage other | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
people to apply. It is about people creating their own job rather than | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
just going out and looking for a job. This gives an opportunity to | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
go out and try to do things for themselves. Organisers want more | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
young people to come forward with his this ideas, to help create the | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
companies and jobs that will get us out of these difficult economic | :16:17. | :16:26. | |
times. Our top story tonight: The family of a Kent woman murdered in | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
India say they fear they will never get justice, after learning that | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
two men who had pleaded guilty to the crime will not now stand trial. | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
The decapitated body of Surjit Kaur was discovered in the Punjab in | :16:36. | :16:46. | |
:16:46. | :16:46. | ||
April. Also in tonight's programme: Fat boy sings. Albion fan Norman | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
Cook's alter-ego will be the first act to perform at the new Amex | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
Stadium. And there are some interesting weather around at the | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
moment. Want to find out what it means for you? There will be a full | :16:57. | :17:06. | |
forecast at the end of the programme. It's a landmark built to | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
honour Indian soldiers who were wounded in World War One, and | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
nursed back to health on the Sussex coast. Commemorations have been | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
taking place at the Indian Gateway, which was built 90 years ago this | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
week. Millions of people have passed through it since 1921, on | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
their way to visit the Brighton Royal Pavilion. Robin Gibson has | :17:20. | :17:30. | |

tonight's Special Report. It was a day of polished pomp and ceremony. | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
The Maharajah came to Brighton Royal Pavilion, the Hon real gift | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
on the English nation to the townspeople of Britain's famous | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
seaside resort. The Indian Gateway has stood solidly overlooking the | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
gardens, ever since. It was a thank-you from the people of India | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
to the people Brighton for looking after its wounded soldiers. That is | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
what it is all about. It is a thank-you present to the people of | :18:01. | :18:08. | |
Brighton. Today, many people pass by this gateway without much idea | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
of what it symbolises, of the moving story of the Indian soldiers, | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
and the gratitude of the Indian people, for their treatment here | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
and right in. The while pavilion was one of a series of buildings | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
transformed, to treat Indian army casualties arriving from the Great | :18:26. | :18:35. | |
War and France. 12,000 were a year for in Brighton, and just 74 died | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
while being treated here. That was converted into a state of-the-art | :18:41. | :18:49. | |
hospital in just over one week. Two operating theatres, one in what is | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
now the banqueting room, and another just off the main | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
auditorium. Scrupulous detail was given to provisions of Indian men, | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
to make their religious and cultural requirements. Nine | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
different kitchens were set up in the grounds, to cater for Hindus, | :19:08. | :19:17. | |
Muslims, Sikhs, and also for different castes. This to Tory of | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
national gratitude and deliverance from horror of war. And the gateway | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
opens many people's eyes to the bravery of those men from the other | :19:26. | :19:36. | |

Stadium to be built, Fatboy Slim has announced he'll be the first | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
music act to play there with two major gigs next summer. Famously, | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
he's played to tens of thousands of people on Brighton beach in the | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
past - and last night the DJ - also known as Norman Cook - went public | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
with the news on the pitch, in front of thousands of Seagulls | :20:03. | :20:11. | |
supporters. Claudia Sermbezis reports. And it's 10,000 specially | :20:11. | :20:17. | |
made Fatboy flags, Norman Cook emerged on to the pitch to confirm | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
the first ever music gigs at the new stadium. This is the day that I | :20:23. | :20:30. | |
have dreamed about for five years. It is a red boy's dream, to do the | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
opening gig at this fantastic new stadium, the team now playing in | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
the championship. And a celebration of my relationship with right in. | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
That relationship, knitted on the four beach parties Norman Cook has | :20:45. | :20:54. | |
held, since 2001. To have a proper home, where you do not get rained | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
on and electrocuted, and all the nonsense that we had on the beach, | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
so we can build a fantastic production. Norman Cook move to | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
break in 30 years ago and began supporting his local team. Norman | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
has been a fantastic supporter, all the way through. He was there | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
during the difficult times, supported us, campaigned with us, | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
went to Downing Street with the petitions. In every way, he has | :21:22. | :21:30. | |
been a true fan, and he has work very hard. Regain it is about House | :21:30. | :21:38. | |
night, and on Saturday any, Witney Row, it is more police orientated. | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
And probably the perfect gig, in a perfect venue. I have never played | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
a football stadium before. Not one where I am used to sitting in the | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
stands. I am so excited about it. The gigs will be held at the | :21:53. | :22:03. | |
:22:03. | :22:04. | ||
beginning of June, next year. Sadly the excitement did not last into | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
the game itself. Meanwhile, the Brighton and Hove Albion boss Gus | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
Poyet says HE'S the one fans should be blaming after his side lost 1-0 | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
to West Ham at the Amex last night. The defeat, in front of the biggest | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
home crowd of the season, stretches the Seagulls' winless run to eight | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
games, as Neil Bell reports. I'll be in and their supporters are | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
getting used to life in the championship and packed houses at | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
the Amex Stadium. But they have struggled to dominate games and the | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
desire to play passing bit of on the back can occasionally backfire, | :22:32. | :22:42. | |
:22:42. | :22:43. | ||
as it did last night, as Kevin Nolan scored for West Ham. West Ham | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
are very, very good at what they do and we know that. It is | :22:49. | :22:57. | |
disappointing to lose possession in that position. Despite that setback, | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
Brighton battled hard, and leading scorer Craig Mackie will Smith came | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
close to levelling things just before the break. Brighton had been | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
-- lots of possession but failed to create many clear cut chances. | :23:08. | :23:18. | |
:23:18. | :23:18. | ||
Things got worse later in the game when Brighton lost a player to | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
injury. Brechin were not able to equalise, to the frustration of | :23:23. | :23:29. | |
their boss. We got punished for one mistake and that is my | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
responsibility, because I made the team play this way. Sam Allardyce, | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
the Hammers manager, was impressed by his first trip to the Amex | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
Stadium. It is a magnificent venue. The public are supporting them by | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
filling this stadium every week. They have had a great start and I | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
am sure they will go from strength to strength. It is now six weeks | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
since Albion last one again, but the mean just two points off the | :23:57. | :24:07. | |
:24:07. | :24:10. | ||
play-off places. -- won a game. In League One, leaders Charlton travel | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
to Wycombe tonight. The Addicks were in top form at the weekend | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
with a 4-0 win over Carlisle and have the best away record in the | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
division, while Wycombe have only won once at home all season. League | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
Two leaders Crawley Town look likely to be unchanged tonight, and | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
will be hoping to make it seven wins in a row with victory over | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
struggling Dagenham and Redbridge at the Broadfield Stadium. And | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
Gillingham, who have scored 16 goals away from home this season, | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
are looking to add to that tally at Swindon this evening. Victory could | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
lift the Gills into the top three for the first time for almost two | :24:38. | :24:44. | |
months. Now contuning with the weird October weather theme. First | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
a heatwave, and now, apparently, a tornado. Many of you have been | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
sending in your pictures of what is technically a water spout, since it | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
didn't touch land, off the Sussex coast this afternoon by email, | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
facebook and twitter. It happened during a fierce thunderstorm just | :24:57. | :25:05. | |
after 4 o'clock this afternoon. The wind whipping up the sea water and | :25:05. | :25:13. | |
creating the water spout, which lasted for around five minutes. | :25:13. | :25:20. | |
Dozens of you cent in photographs. And we have had hill stones as well. | :25:20. | :25:27. | |
It is witchcraft! It has been a lively day's with a. We still have | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
more dramatic weather to come over the next few hours. We are set to | :25:32. | :25:41. | |
see a more thundery showers. Do keep sending in your with the | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
pictures. We can talk you for exactly what is going on. Quite a | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
lot of cloud around. We do that of wet weather, with it. Towards | :25:51. | :25:57. | |
coastal parts, showers a winter be heavier. Throughout today we had | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
some clear slots, but then lots of cloud. We have seen the results of | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
that. That is going to be a while before that actually clears. | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
Overnight, you can see where the wet weather is. The worst of it, | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
towards the South coast. Those temperatures down on last night, as | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
well, dropping to around seven Celsius. Tomorrow, more thundery | :26:21. | :26:28. | |
showers to come, particularly early in the day. Later, they should we | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
are, and there should be sunshine next in with that wet weather, so a | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
mixture of sunshine and showers. Temperatures down one degree or did | :26:38. | :26:46. | |
they. Round about 15 Celsius. -- on today. By evening that wet-weather | :26:46. | :26:52. | |
should have crept away. Those temperatures dropping to around ten | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
Celsius at their lowest. A little uncertain at the moment exactly | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
what does the is going to bring, but it seems that the wet weather | :27:01. | :27:11. | |
:27:11. | :27:13. | ||
has not far away -- what there is a is going to drink. -- what Thursday | :27:13. | :27:20. | |
is going to bring. Towards the weekend, more cloud cover, but | :27:20. | :27:25. |
