Welcome to South East Today, I'm Polly Evans, and I'm Rob Smith. | :00:02. | :00:05. | |
Tonight's top stories: The Chancellor prepares to announce | :00:05. | :00:08. | |
�30 billion of capital projects, but will the South East see a penny | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
of it? Why an energy company blunder meant | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
this vulnerable man spent the coldest winter in 100 years without | :00:15. | :00:25. | |
:00:25. | :00:29. | ||
heating. It was cold when I was going to bed, yes. | :00:29. | :00:39. | |
:00:39. | :00:40. | ||
Also in tonight's programme: Knitting yarns - we have the tale | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
of a very tall woolly Christmas tree, the biggest in the South | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
East! And check out his Captain Hook! | :00:46. | :00:56. | |

Vanilla Ice takes on Peter Pan in Good evening. The Chancellor is | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
preparing to announce �30 billion of public capital projects tomorrow, | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
but there are fears that none of the major transport building | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
schemes will be in the South East. The huge investment progamme is | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
aimed at getting Britain's economy moving, but a list of 11 possible | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
projects does not include any in Kent or Sussex. The Chancellor will | :01:19. | :01:29. | |
:01:29. | :01:31. | ||
set out a full list in his Autumn Statement tomorrow. | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
This web design company understands good communications. What they | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
don't understand is why the transport links are so bad. Why | :01:39. | :01:49. | |
:01:49. | :01:54. | ||
can't the Government pay for a new relief road? Getting to Bexhill in | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
itself, we have customers there, and it is a nuisance to get there. | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
I am hoping the government pays some attention. There are three | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
major infrastructure projects in the South East that need that | :02:09. | :02:19. | |
government funding. One London �25 million will pay for parts of A21. | :02:19. | :02:26. | |
-- �125 million. And then a larger scale, at �1 billion would build a | :02:26. | :02:34. | |
new Thames crossing. We have got a lot of schemes in Kent that would | :02:34. | :02:44. | |
fit the bill very well. The Thames crossing would be one. It would | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
involve pension fund money and bond if necessary. And in Sussex, road | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
improvement projects are linked to new jobs. | :02:52. | :03:02. | |
:03:02. | :03:03. | ||
The twenty-one corridor is here, right down to Hastings. -- the 821. | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
Tomorrow, the Treasury will publish a full list of projects they want | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
to focus on. Whether or not the Hastings relief road at all a new | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
Thames crossing what -- on that list remains to be seen. | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
And Mark Norman is in Hastings now. Mark, is there much optimism from | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
local MPs about tomorrow's announcement? The short answer is | :03:26. | :03:35. | |
no. We have spoken to two MPs in the past half-hour. One of them | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
told us that she expected to hear something if any of those schemes | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
are on the list. She has not, so that does not look promising. That | :03:44. | :03:53. | |
windowed -- that won't go -- that won't go down well in Hastings. | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
Later in the programme, we'll be looking at what businesses, | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
families, and the young unemployed are hoping for out of the | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
Chancellor's Autumn Statement. A 59-year-old man with learning | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
difficulties was left without heating during the coldest winter | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
for a century because his gas company changed his meter and never | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
made sure he understood how to use it properly. Douglas Carter, from | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
Tunbridge Wells, couldn't top up his gas credit last year because he | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
lost the pre-payment card, and didn't know who to call to get a | :04:18. | :04:28. | |
:04:28. | :04:28. | ||
new one. He was without gas for six months. British Gas has apologised. | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
Douglas Carter is now warm again, and is enjoying his favourite | :04:31. | :04:39. | |
hobby: Music. I like the '60s music. But it is only thanks to a | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
community support officer that his gas supply is back on. She spotted | :04:43. | :04:51. | |
that Douglas looked unwell that and dishevelled. Really cold. I put a | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
coat on, and when I went to bed, I used to go to bed early, and the | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
next morning, if I wanted to shave, I had to put the kettle on. One | :05:02. | :05:12. | |
minute, I was watching TV. Carter had been put on a pre- | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
payment meter by British Gas. come in here, put some money on the | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
card, the card goes in, press the red button, and that will tell me | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
it is working. But he lost his card, and didn't know to court to get the | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
new one. When his credit stop, so did the gas, for six months. We can | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
understand why Douglas may have got into debt with his gas bill, and | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
why the gas bill acted in the way they did, but they should have made | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
sure that Douglas was able to use the meter properly, and he wasn't. | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
Nobody explained it to him, and he was unable to access a gas all of | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
last winter. British Gas said they were sorry they did not recognise | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
Mr Carter's circumstances, and failed to provide him with the | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
service they should expect from them. They would urge any customer | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
with caring responsibilities to make them aware of any special | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
requirements. Each winter, the death-rate among order and far | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
Honourable people increases. Mr Carter's case was resolved | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
thankfully. In a moment: Why low staffing at | :06:23. | :06:33. | |
:06:33. | :06:34. | ||
weekends mean a greater chance of There have long been arguments | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
about the exact location of the Battle of Hastings, but a group of | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
so-called "bio-locators" claim they finally have evidence it wasn't at | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
Battle or Hastings, but near Crowhurst. Using divining rods they | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
say react to magnetic fields, the team claim they can detect buried | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
metal, even bone and blood, and hope to prove they have found the | :06:52. | :07:00. | |
real spot where Harold was defeated by William in 1066. Robin Gibson | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
joins us from Battle, which had a long association with the place | :07:03. | :07:13. | |
:07:13. | :07:14. | ||
where King Harold fell. Robin, is that all now thrown into doubt? | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
don't think they will be checking the history books, and many experts | :07:18. | :07:25. | |
will be going into Battle, as it were. This is where William the | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
Conqueror had the abbey built to celebrate his victory, but nothing | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
significant has been found here, and nothing significant has been | :07:34. | :07:42. | |
found anywhere else. But these buyer locators say that may change. | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
-- by only caters. Bayfield like any other field, or | :07:47. | :07:55. | |
could this be the battlefield where King Harold was defeated in 1066? | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
Tradition says the Battle of Hastings was fought at Battle Abbey, | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
but a camp was claimed that it was set up at Crowhurst. You can | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
condition yourself to find different chemicals or objects, not | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
magic, not supernatural. I have come to meet a group surveyed the | :08:20. | :08:29. | |
site using a divining technique. This is a skill, and it takes | :08:29. | :08:38. | |
practice. As I walk, I hit the keys, and a walk out. They discuss -- it | :08:38. | :08:46. | |
they describe this as an evidence gathering exercise. What we are | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
standing on here it really is the sight of the Battle of Hastings. | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
Nick is the local author, who spent many years trying to establish his | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
theory. He says he has already found some intriguing object in | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
this area. It looks very much like a spear tip of some sort. Difficult | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
to say what it is made of. It is too early to say it is proven, but | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
I think it is due to say that the evidence suggests strongly the time | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
right. The interesting thing is that things are starting to come | :09:20. | :09:28. | |
out of the ground. The locators claimed the area is dotted with | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
anomalies Underground, indicating something major happened here. | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
There was obviously a big Battle here. The field is nearly a mile | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
long, and we know there are large numbers involved, and eventually, I | :09:43. | :09:53. | |
:09:53. | :09:54. | ||
hope, we will be able to say that... I went pre-empted that it is 1066, | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
but we won't know what kind of war it was. They say they have | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
identified what could be defensive lines, and made drawings of what | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
the battlefield may have looked like. Bird until archaeologists dig | :10:07. | :10:17. | |
:10:17. | :10:19. | ||
here, the theory remains a theory. Fascinating stuff to some. What | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
will settle the argument is when archaeologists come and pick the | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
side, and may be uncovered third those men with coat-hangers were | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
there when the true secrets of the Battle of Hastings started to be | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
revealed. Two men have been jailed for a | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
total of nearly 20 years after breaking into a flat in Sheerness | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
and robbing the teenagers who lived there at knifepoint. Matthew | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
Chaytors and David Pay trailed their three victims after first | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
approaching them at a cashpoint and asking for money. | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
A shop owner from Bexhill has been fined �8,000 by magistrates after | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
admitting taping up packets of food that had been gnawed by rats and | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
putting them back on sale. Yogalingam Thavarajah was ordered | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
to pay the fine after environmental health officers found the gnawed | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
bags, along with a dead rat and rat droppings in his Price Cutters shop | :11:05. | :11:15. | |
:11:15. | :11:18. | ||
in London Road. Death rates at three of our | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
hospital trusts are among the highest in the country, with a | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
leading health watchdog identifying weekend staffing levels as a major | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
factor. Darent Valley Hospital in Dartford has one of the lowest | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
levels of senior doctors working in accident and emergency at the | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
weekend. Together with Medway Maritime Hospital and East Sussex | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
Healthcare Trust, it also has some of the worst mortality rates in | :11:34. | :11:41. | |
England. Fall ill at the weekend, and you | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
are more likely to die. Why? Because consultants work 9-5 on | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
weekdays, leaving a junior staff in charge on Saturdays and Sundays. | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
Darent Valley is one of the hospitals were the lowest levels of | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
weekend staffing. Dr Foster says that while more staff cannot be | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
conjured out of the air, better ways of working need to be explored. | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
Hospitals need to think about how they worked together, because not | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
every hospital can be able to provide the optimum standard. We | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
will have to start being honest about what hospitals can and can't | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
do. If there is an area where hospital were not be able to divide | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
a safe service, in these to think about working with other hospitals | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
in the area. When David suffered a stroke on a Sunday earlier this | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
year, the ambulance was at his home very quickly. But confusion over | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
which hospital to take him to mend it was five hours before he was | :12:43. | :12:52. | |
properly seen. He could have died. Fortunately, it wasn't, and they | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
should be qualified staff on all hospitals. It should be any | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
hospital you go to, preferably the nearest, they should be qualified | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
staff to do with the problem. trusts were criticised for | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
mortality rates through the week. Medway, Dartford and East Sussex | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
had higher than expected deaths. All said they are carrying out work | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
to address the concerns, but also that they don't believe there is a | :13:18. | :13:25. | |
problem with the prop -- quality of care. Across the NHS, there has | :13:25. | :13:35. | |
:13:35. | :13:41. | ||
been a remarkable fall in mortality This is our top story tonight: | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
The chancellor is preparing to announce �30 billion of public | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
capital projects tomorrow, but there are fears that none of the | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
major transport building schemes will be in the South East. But a | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
list of 11 possible projects revealed today does not include any | :13:54. | :14:04. | |
:14:04. | :14:05. | ||
in Kent or Sussex. Also in tonight's programme. | :14:05. | :14:15. | |
Possibly the tallest knitted Christmas tree ever. Checkout the | :14:15. | :14:21. | |
hook. I played Captain Hook. Come over here and checking out. | :14:21. | :14:29. | |
What is Vanilla Ice talking about? Find out later in the programme. | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
Tomorrow lunchtime the Chancellor George Osborne will deliver his | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
latest update on the economy in his Autumn Statement. He's expected to | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
offer help to small businesses, explain how he will pay for schemes | :14:38. | :14:48. | |
:14:48. | :14:48. | ||
to tackle youth unemployment and get the housing market moving again. | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
What do you think the Chancellor should be doing here in the South | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
East? When the Chancellor delivers his autumn statement, it will be | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
done against a backdrop of gloomy figures are showing the UK is | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
slipping back into it recession. The Prime Minister prepared the way | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
for bad news. We are behind where we need to be. Deep and difficult | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
recession... Despite their not being much money to spend, the | :15:17. | :15:23. | |
government has announced a fund to help young unemployed to, like | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
Brandon from Hastings he was not currently working or in training. | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
It is ridiculously hard to get anything around here. I have been | :15:32. | :15:41. | |
on jobseeker's for over 18 months. I have never had a job. I do not | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
have the qualifications because I did not do well at school. | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
Yesterday the Chancellor announced a scheme called credit easing to | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
help the banks lend to small and medium-sized businesses. It has | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
been welcomed by a tailor from Brighton. Banks have really got to | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
help small businesses and they have not. They have been taking up to | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
nine weeks to make decisions on loans and there should make those | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
decisions quicker even if it is not a yes, so the company knows that. | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
There may be some relief for hard- pressed families. It is believed | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
the increase in fuel duty due to being creased in the new year will | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
be reduced or postponed which should help car owners like Lisa | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
from Chatham. I need a car because I pack a lot into my day and I find | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
that because the fuel prices have gone up excessively gets beyond a | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
joke. It costs about �65 to fill my tank up now. As expected, rail | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
fares will be capped at 1% above inflation. Even the Chancellor | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
admits that will not be a great cause for celebration for rail | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
users who were still expecting a steep rise. It may be some | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
consolation for commuters and the South East to pay some of the | :16:57. | :17:06. | |
highest fares in the country. And you can read more on the autumn | :17:06. | :17:16. | |

statement on Louise Stewart's blog. The man behind the first hip hop | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
single to top the US charts is not necessarily the first person you'd | :17:19. | :17:27. | |
choose to appear in Peter Pan. More recently he has been on the reality | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
show, dancing on ice. Now he is starring in panto in Chatham. | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
Yes, he will be Captain Hook in Peter Pan. He spends most of the | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
year in Miami but says he has thick of the Sun and has come to enjoy a | :17:43. | :17:51. | |
proper winter. It is one of the most recognisable | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
beats in hip hop and it is synonymous with this man. A I love | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
it, I wrote the song. I think it is fantastic that people still | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
remember it to date. I'm glad they enjoy it. I am very proud. Vanilla | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
Ice was one of the biggest rap stars in the late 80s and early 90s | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
and he still makes music and his latest album came out in August. | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
Problems with drugs and quarrels with his record label led him to | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
focus on other interests for a while. Professional motocross, jet- | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
ski riding, a passion for extreme sports and being a condition it -- | :18:29. | :18:39. | |

contestant in this year's dancing on ice. I had a Prom my eye and | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
concussion and a crazy ride to the hospital. I learned that it is not | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
easy. The ice is hard. Also credited for his return to the | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
spotlight, he ignites it -- he allowed the most recognisable | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
haircuts in pop to use the most recognisable the two. I have | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
nothing bad to say about those guys because any time you're in a room | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
with them you will be laughing. They are funny. Now he is taking a | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
break from Miami sunshine to played Captain Cook in a panto in Chatham. | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
He is a hardcore rap megastar who was a father of two who does a load | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
of charity work for children and is actually a lovely and a decent guy | :19:23. | :19:33. | |
:19:33. | :19:35. | ||

the hook! By D J revolves it! is a -- that is a Tatton remix. -- | :19:46. | :19:53. | |
a Chatham or remix. How on earth did this come to | :19:53. | :19:59. | |
happen? The producers of the panto saw him on dancing on ice and | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
thought he would make a pretty good Captain Hook. Today was the panto's | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
first rehearsal and the show opens one week on Thursday. Than an ice | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
flew in from Miami today so I asked him if he was worried about | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
learning his lines and he told me he was not because he is a rapper | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
and remembering a lot of words is what he does for a living. He told | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
me years looking forward to fly in his whole family over here to spend | :20:25. | :20:35. | |
:20:35. | :20:38. | ||
Christmas in Chatham. I would do that! Who wouldn't? | :20:38. | :20:41. | |

Crawley on saturday but Gillingham were held to their first goaless | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
draw for almost eight months. Neil Bell looks back at the weekend's | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
action. Brighton were a bit short of confidence but they made | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
advantage of some sloppy defending. There was a well-timed run and a | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
powerful header. Surely before half-time there was another | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
stunning header to restore Brighton's advantage. They went | :21:07. | :21:14. | |
back up to 10th. They are just one point of the play-off positions. | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
kept going forward. I think the last 10 or 15 minutes we were the | :21:20. | :21:26. | |
best team to store. Gillingham's game against Brighton it contained | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
few highlights. An early effort that hit the post was their closest | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
they got. We did not earn the right to play today. The ball spent too | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
much time in the air. You have to give Bradford a lot of credit and | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
they came here and a frustrated us. Crawley stormed back at Rotherham. | :21:46. | :21:56. | |
A drive level things out and then they moved level at the top of the | :21:56. | :21:57. | |
table. League One leaders Charlton take on | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
third place Huddersfield Town at the Valley this evening. The | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
Addicks go into the game on the back of a six match winning run, | :22:03. | :22:12. | |
but their opponents are unbeaten in 43 league games. Someone said to me | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
I would make or break a season and this is the 19th game. I am surely | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
will be saying the same thing. Nothing is won or lost in this game. | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
If we put the onus on this game, then that might distract us from | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
the bigger picture which is 46 games. | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
It's 20 foot tall, it's bedecked with 100 metres of garland, it is | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
spangled with more than 200 pom poms. It's the biggest woolly | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
Christmas tree the south east has ever seen. Hundreds of people have | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
helped to knit and stitch the tree at the Burrswood Christian Healing | :22:43. | :22:51. | |
Centre in Groombridge. Ian Palmer has been along to see it. | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
If you have to have a tree -- if you had to hug a tree, you would | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
want it to be this one. Soft on the outside and scaffolding on the | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
inside. It has taken about five hours with the hanging the | :23:04. | :23:11. | |
decorations but the scaffolding to can hour-and-a-half. The idea began | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
here. This woman marshalled all the knitters. I wondered what would | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
happen if nobody knitted leaves a we have been overwhelmed with the | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
support that we have had. It has been fabulous. 300 people got | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
involved in making this tree and they had to knit more than at 2,500 | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
leaves. Two stitch them has taken more than 81 at a worse. The | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
hospital offers post operative and convalescent care. It's a Christian | :23:44. | :23:50. | |
organisation but people from any faith a welcome. There is a lot of | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
love in that tree. People have knitted the leaves with thought and | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
care. We have received all the donations, whether they have been | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
huge bundles from groups or one day be got just one leaf in an envelope | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
that someone had taken a lot of time and trouble to me it. There | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
are two other woody trees in the country and this is thought to be | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
the largest. Visitors are surprised by its appeal. I am very impressed | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
it is very colourful. beautifully made and the colours | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
are lovely and I like the Father Christmases all over it. Visitors | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
can buy gold stars to decorate the tree and raise money for the | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
charity. After the holiday it is thought the fabric could be made | :24:31. | :24:38. | |
into blankets and donated to worthy causes. | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
It is fabulous, isn't it? I am lost for words! | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
You could cuddle it to keep warm because we will need to in the next | :24:46. | :24:56. | |
:24:56. | :24:58. | ||
. It has been increasingly mild but it will stay that way tomorrow. It | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
will be increasingly blustery. At the end of the day there is a bad | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
not the rain spreading eastwards and that will affect us all. High | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
pressure will be in control of things. Last night temperatures got | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
down to freezing for all of us would have widespread frost but low | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
pressure is moving in again from the West and the southerly winds | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
will continue to Pickup. Temperatures are not too bad for | :25:21. | :25:29. | |
the time of year. As we move into tonight, we are holding on to the | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
southerly winds and they continued to strengthen. There will be | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
outbreaks of rain and it will be a mild picture. Temperatures will | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
hardly change from their daytime values. It will really be quite a | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
change from last night. Tomorrow morning will initially be a dry and | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
mild start but as you can see there is a band of heavy rain making its | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
way eastwards. By the end of the day we were all be affected. The | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
morning will be dry and mild but very blustery. The winds will pick | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
up to 30 mph with gusts even stronger than that. The | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
temperatures are above average for the time of the year. Once we have | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
seen is heavier pulses of rain in the south-west breezes, it will | :26:14. | :26:22. | |
feel a bit more call them the numbers suggest. -- cool than the | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
numbers suggest. Through the night there will be further outbreaks of | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
rain. On Wednesday the rain will slowly clear and it will be | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
increasingly dry in the afternoon. It will not stay dry for long. On | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
Thursday there will be heavy rain which would clear by Friday and the | :26:42. | :26:48. | |
increasingly dry and bright. Thank you very much. | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
Before we go, a word about tonight's Inside Out. A former | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
Somalian refugee has gone undercover inside a camp for asylum | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
seekers in Calais. Makeshift tents and abandoned buildings, known as | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
jungles, are used by migrants waiting to cross into the UK | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
illegally. But conditions are such that a charity is supplying them | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
with blankets and medical aid. And you can find out more about the | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
conditions the migrants face and the role played by charities in | :27:10. | :27:18. | |
tonight's Inside Out at 7.30pm here on BBC One. | :27:18. | :27:28. | |
