life after they accidentally revealed his name to the business | :00:21. | :00:31. | |

Good evening. A lawyer who lied to police that he'd been kidnapped to | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
try to escape a drink-driving charge has been jailed for 12 | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
months for attempting to pervert the course of justice. Francis | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
Bridgeman was drunk when he crashed his Range Rover into a telegraph | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
pole near his home in East Sussex last April. | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
He claimed armed men had stolen the car at knifepoint, before | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
kidnapping him in another vehicle. But detectives found CCTV pictures | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
revealing he was unsteady on his feet as he travelled home from his | :01:39. | :01:49. | |
:01:49. | :01:49. | ||
job in the City. John Young reports. Arriving at Lewes Crown Court this | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
morning with his clothes in a back, knowing that this evening he might | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
be in prison, the Oxford educated lawyer who lied to police, judge | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
and jury. Francis Bridgeman's downfall started as he stumbled | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
around looking for a train to take him long after five pints in the | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
city. At the end of his journey, his mistake, climbing into his | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
Range Rover and smashing into a telegraph pole. He then walked home, | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
when the police caught up with him he told them he had been kidnapped. | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
The kidnappers he said it must have crashed the vehicle. When the | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
police found his DNA on the are back, they charged him with | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
perverting the course of justice. hope it send out a very strong | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
message. If people give false information to police it will be | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
investigated. A lot of police time has been wasted on this | :02:45. | :02:53. | |
investigation. In what Hirst this afternoon, at next used on whether | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
a crime of persistent deception deserve to prison. What is it going | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
to achieve? He should have some sort of freedom and some sort of | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
restriction on his way of life. should be given longer because he | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
is meant to represent the law and is not doing so. I think the poor | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
chap has probably suffered enough already actually, he did have to | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
stop -- we do have to stop people lying to the police. The judge had | :03:27. | :03:37. | |
:03:37. | :03:40. | ||
Lying he said was bad enough, but continuing to rely had made it far | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
worse. He concluded by quoting the so well to its -- Sir Walter Scott, | :03:46. | :03:56. | |
or what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive. | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
How did he react? Quite startling scenes. The | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
sentence was being passed and he solely slumped forwards onto his | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
knees and fell into the well of the dock and remained there for several | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
minutes. He was eventually let down to the cells by the court staff. | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
Sussex Police have suggested that throughout his trial he had | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
actually feigned illness, but one thing that was not in doubt is that | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
his wife is seriously ill with cancer. The judge said that he took | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
it into account but with a case like this a prison sentence was | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
inevitable. A Sussex whistleblower who passed | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
on allegations of corruption in Nigeria on condition of anonymity | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
says he's been left in fear for his life after the British Government | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
revealed his identity. Dotun Oloko was subsequently targeted by | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
private investigators, who followed his children to school, after | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
accusing a firm of investing overseas aid in companies suspected | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
of money laundering. The International Development Secretary | :04:54. | :05:03. | |
has apologised unreservedly, as Simon Jones reports. | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
He warned the Government it may have been invested -- investing in | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
corruption. Instead of investigating a report, the people | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
who like accused placed me on their investigation. Dotun Oloko found | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
out every aspect of his own life was placed under investigation. | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
They came to my house, took pictures of me and my family, | :05:32. | :05:39. | |
followed me to my children's school, what is that about? I have not seen | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
-- I cannot see how an investigation into me has anything | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
to do but my children. He gave the Department of International | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
Development a dossier saying that money invested in Nigeria was being | :05:53. | :06:01. | |
handled by money -- by companies suspected of mummery London. This | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
firm and hired a security firm that photographed him at home and his | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
children's school. It department for international development | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
denied there had been a leak. should have find out what was going | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
on. He should have investigated it with more diligence than he did. | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
The department said that it inadvertently sent on the dossier | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
unaware that his name could be found in at the records. It has | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
apologised and reversibly. This organisation in Africa says | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
whistleblowers must be protected. We need to make sure that if anyone | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
comes forward and says there is a problem, we make sure that they are | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
protected right from the start so that we can follow it the right | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
procedures. Without those, families could feel threatened. At some | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
point, I feel I will have to pay the price for what I have done. | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
Retribution. There will be some form of retribution. The company | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
Dotun Oloko has raised concerns about has refuted entirely his | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
allegations and says it knows no reason why his life should be in | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
danger. I understand the Department for | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
International Development has ordered an immediate review. | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
No one was available for interview today that they have made it clear | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
that what happened should not have happened. They have offered an | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
unreserved apology and a sorry for the distress that has been caused. | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
They said that in future whistleblowers must be sure that | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
their anonymity must be protected. Dotun Oloko made it absolute clear | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
that he did not want his name to be revealed, that did happen and he | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
said it has had a devastating affect on his life. | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
In a moment, how our top sportsmen and women are shaping up to | :07:53. | :08:01. | |
represent Britain at the Olympic One of the six footballers arrested | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
in connection with an alleged sexual assault in Sussex has been | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
eliminated from the police enquiry. No further action will be taken | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
against Brighton and Hove Albion defender Tommy Elphick. | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
But the five other footballers arrested yesterday remain under | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
investigation and have been released on bail. They include an | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
England under-21 international, and the son of a Premier League manager. | :08:23. | :08:31. | |
Peter Whittlesea has more. As a club, Brighton and Hove Albion | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
are reduced to being on the Spotlight for matters on and off | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
the pitch, but this is the first time they have hit headlines in | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
this way. For players and one former player have been arrested | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
for allegations of sexual assault, and today their identities were | :08:48. | :08:58. | |
revealed. The most well-known is He has risen through the Segal's | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
squads. Less well-known is George Barker. | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
He has also come up through the youth teams. | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
Then some peel is just 19. Compared with the others, he is a newcomer, | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
having been a former trainee with Chelsea. | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
Tom Rogers -- Anton Rodgers comes from a footballing family. His | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
father Brendan is the boss of Swansea. | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
Finally, Steve Cook, a 20-year-old defender who was on the Seagull's | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
books and tell you joined Bournemouth earlier this month. | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
Legal experts say arrests are in the initial stage of police inquiry, | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
which may or may not lead to charges. The police will follow up | :09:49. | :09:57. | |
any lines of inquiry that perhaps a rise after any interviews. Or | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
perhaps following up evidence or lines of inquiry. This afternoon, | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
Tommy Elphick was eliminated from the police inquiry. The other | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
footballers have been released on police bail until 21st March. | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
A man has been found guilty at Lewes Crown Court today for the | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
murder of a homeless man. 49-year- old Mark Watson stabbed Russian | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
immigrant Alexandre Sokolnikov to death in Eastbourne last February. | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
He'll be sentenced next month. A man's been airlifted to hospital | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
with life-threatening injuries after a collision between a lorry | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
and a car. There've been long tailbacks on the M20, M25 and M26 | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
motorways this evening, after the accident on the coastbound section | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
of the M20 near Maidstone. Kent Police are investigating the crash, | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
and the lorry driver has been arrested. | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
Drivers caught speeding outside two primary schools in Kent were given | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
the choice today between accepting a �60 fine and three points on | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
their licence, or facing questions from the children to explain what | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
they'd done. Several motorists were stopped for | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
speeding outside Barham and Chartham primary schools, near | :11:00. | :11:09. | |
Canterbury including a young woman driving at 38 miles per hour. | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
think if more people who were caught speeding came to speak to | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
the children, it might make them more aware. It is their personal | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
response to your speeding. It makes you feel quite awkward. You do not | :11:22. | :11:29. | |
know how to answer their questions. With the London Olympics just a few | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
months away, Kent tourism bosses are appealing for an army of | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
volunteers to help travellers find their way to the games. The | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
Olympics Minister and Kent MP Hugh Robertson helped launch the search | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
for 300 Kent Games Greeters this afternoon, as our Olympics Reporter | :11:40. | :11:50. | |
:11:50. | :11:50. | ||
Chrissie Reidy explains. atmosphere here is wonderful. | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
People just love to come and sit around. Peter Shore is so | :11:55. | :12:03. | |
passionate about Kent that for the last six max here he he has | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
dedicated to hours to become a Kent greater. With lots more visitors | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
going to descend on the county during the Olympics and Paralympics, | :12:11. | :12:18. | |
the search is on for at 300 more gritters. We want enthusiastic | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
locals who love for their love. It saves the visitor time and money | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
because they can find out within an hour or so what might well take | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
them a day or so to find out on their own. Games gritters will be | :12:32. | :12:40. | |
deployed all over the county. -- gritters. It takes just 10 minutes | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
on the high-speed link to the Olympic Park. It is relatively | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
quiet here today, but come to light thousands of visitors are expected | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
to come through here. Millions of people will be coming through the | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
county, through the ports, through the airport, through the stations, | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
and we want to make sure that their experience is really tip-top. | :13:07. | :13:17. | |
what make ship -- makes an ideal gritter? This is a once-in-a- | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
lifetime opportunity to go to the public and tell everyone why you're | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
so passionate about Kent. As the gateway to the Olympics, it is | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
hoped that the extended welcome will encourage more people to | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
return to the county after 2012. If you're interested in | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
volunteering, you can find out how on our website. And later in the | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
programme we'll hear how our Olympic and Paralympic athletes are | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
preparing, with just over six months to go until the London Games | :13:44. | :13:54. | |
:13:54. | :13:55. | ||
begin. This is our top story tonight. | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
A lawyer who lied to police that he had been kidnapped to try and | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
escape a drink-drive charge has been jailed for 12 months. Francis | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
Bridgeman claimed that armed men stole and crashed his Range Rover. | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
In reality, he had driven it into a telegraph pole. | :14:13. | :14:20. | |
Also intimate's programme. -- tonight's. | :14:20. | :14:28. | |
Commemorating the launch of a And it looks like being a rather | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
nondescript weekend, dry, mild and than a cloudy but will there be any | :14:33. | :14:41. | |
sunshine? Join me later to find out. The naturalist and film-maker Sir | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
David Attenborough is world famous for his commitment to the | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
environment. He's been a high- profile supporter of the | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
controversial new wind turbine at Glyndebourne Opera House near Lewes | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
and was guest of honour at its official opening today. At 70 | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
metres high, it's taller than Nelson's Column, and it's hoped it | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
will produce 90% of the energy Glyndebourne needs, thereby cutting | :15:01. | :15:08. | |
carbon emissions there by half. But local people who opposed the | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
project at a public inquiry say it's an eyesore that has no place | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
on the Sussex Downs. Our Environment Correspondent Yvette | :15:15. | :15:22. | |
Austin has the latest in our Switched On series. | :15:22. | :15:30. | |
The 1, 2, 3... CHEERING. | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
An unusual performance for Glyndebourne's standards, but one | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
it hopes will make its huge difference to the famous opera | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
house's reputation. When the power to improve the estate's | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
environmental credentials -- wind power. With the endorsement of an | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
influential figure. It is a joy to be involved in something working | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
with nature and not against it. Of all other ways of raising the power | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
that we all need for either motor cars or for our houses and so on, | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
this is the most friendly towards the natural world. It took six | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
years to get this far, building finally came after a big campaign | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
against the scheme and even a public inquiry. Some local people | :16:15. | :16:22. | |
still object. Thalamus -- hour society has only ever objected to | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
one and this is the one, we feel it is the wrong combination and will | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
produce very little but its visual impact is very significant. You | :16:29. | :16:37. | |
could see it over quite a different -- distance. But it takes a lot of | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
electricity to run an opera house and Glyndebourne says the Turbine | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
will cut its carbon dioxide emissions by 1,000 tonnes per year. | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
Obviously, there is a balance needed, if you don't want to see | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
them across all of the Sussex Downs but where there are roads and man- | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
made structures, they should put them up. We have a big problem and | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
this, I hope, will encourage others to do likewise. Wind power is of | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
course controversial. The arguments against are that noise, what the | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
turbine is look like and how much they cost. But for Glyndebourne, | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
based say this will supply around 90% of its electricity and will | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
give them an environmentally friendly record and that is why it | :17:16. | :17:25. | |

The clock is ticking for athletes in the south-east hoping to | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
represent Britain at this summer's Olympic and Paralympic Games. | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
On Sunday, you can catch up with the progress of half a dozen | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
competitors from Kent and Sussex in a special Olympic Dreams programme. | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
But Neil Bell can give us a sneak preview now, he is in Chatham. Neil, | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
the tension is really starting to rack up now for our top sportsmen | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
and women. The absolutely, when you get this close to the Games, | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
anything you do and don't do can have a bigger impact on your | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
prospects. Not surprisingly, many of our | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
competitors are heading south for some warm-weather training and we | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
caught up with some. For many competitors, the next few | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
months will be the most important of their sporting lives. | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
Preparation and performance must be timed precisely so they make it to | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
London and then produced their best. Martin Brockman is a Commonwealth | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
Games bronze medallist, keen to improve, so we sent javelin thrower | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
Steve Backley to give him a hand. One question I have to Askew. You | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
are a decathlete, the 10 events, you must be mad. It is a silly | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
idea! I used to just do the high jump, I was quite good, but I just | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
got bored. The problem now for Martin Brockman is how to master so | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
many different events. My coach said to me, you can do the hurdles, | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
the high jump for the pole vault, three of the harder events anyway, | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
so why don't you learn to throw and you could be a good decathlete. I | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
am still learning to throw but it is going well so far. While Martin | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
Brockman's challenge is obvious, Sophia Warner has more difficult -- | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
different obstacles to overcome. This mother of of two has dedicated | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
her life to win a sprint medal at the Paralympic Games, but cerebral | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
palsy makes even the simplest things complicated. Yesterday, even | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
at my age, I hopped up for the first time without holding on and I | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
felt I should have my parents with the! Not even has -- Sofia has | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
given up her job and so has her husband, to help look after the | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
children. And there would be nice and I hope, the door is open for | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
the possibilities and other things could come along but all in all, I | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
hope she is happy. The result of all their dedication and | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
determination will soon be clear with the game's just six months | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
away. You can see more on those stories on the Olympic dreams | :19:48. | :19:57. | |
programme this Sunday at 5pm on BBC One, and it starts at 5pm. Martin | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
has improved his personal best in the javelin and Sophia Warner has | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
shaved one 10th of a second off her best time. | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
Turning to football and Gills fans around here will be hoping the | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
club's recent striker crisis is over. Jo Kuffour looks likely to be | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
fit to face AFC Wimbledon tomorrow, after several weeks out through | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
illness. I bumped into Danny Kedwell garage this morning and he | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
was optimistic he would also be involved in the game, as is his | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
manager. It is all about the pain threshold, really, how much pain | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
you can take in training. If he has no problems, but there is a good | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
chance he could be involved. It will be a late shout on Danny | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
Kedwell. Charlton will be hoping to complete a Sheffield double after | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
beating Wednesday last week, taking on a Sheffield United at the Valley | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
tomorrow. In League Two, Crawley could return | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
to top spot with victory at struggling Plymouth. Scoring goals | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
has been the problem recently, but there's some good news tonight as | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
striker Tyrone Barnett is still with the club, having turned down a | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
move to Championship Blackpool. He should be available for the game. | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
After a traumatic few days off the pitch, Brighton will be looking | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
forward to getting back to business at Peterborough. And it would be | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
the ideal time for former Posh striker Craig Mackail Smith to | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
rediscover his goalscoring touch. The very best of luck to all on our | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
side, it will be interesting to see who is in the Brighton squad | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
tomorrow. Neil, thank you very much. | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
It went on to become one of the most successful albums ever made, | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
but it was to a bunch of fans at the Brighton Dome that 40 years ago | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
in 1972 Pink Floyd first played the songs that went on to be released | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
as The Dark Side Of The Moon. Since then, it's sold 50 million | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
copies, making it the sixth best- selling album of all time in the UK. | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
And it was huge in the States, too, remaining in the US Billboard album | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
chart for an astonishing 741 weeks. An exhibition marking the 40th | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
anniversary of the gig at the Dome has been put together, and our | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
reporter Alex Beard is there. Alex, no-one could have guessed that | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
night the impact that Dark Side Of The Moon would go on to have. | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
No, they couldn't. It was their 8th studio album so they couldn't have | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
predicted how big it got, 50 million copies sold worldwide. When | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
they played the debut here at the Brighton Dome in 1972, it has | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
actually called the Eclipse, it was and remained until 1973 on its | :22:20. | :22:28. | |
official launch. MUSIC: "Money" by Pink Floyd. | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
# Money. # Get away.$$NEWLINE Before we go, | :22:30. | :22:40. | |
:22:40. | :22:40. | ||
It dominated the charts here and in the US. Even the band members move | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
Dark Side Of The Moon was something special. I certainly knew that | :22:44. | :22:54. | |
:22:54. | :22:56. | ||
something quite magical was happening. I remember looking at | :22:56. | :23:06. | |
the final listing and saying, "That is good, that is very good. | :23:06. | :23:14. | |
" at the age of 18, this photographer captured live but on | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
and off the stage. I am very happy with the stills | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
from the Brighton Dome, they were a very early effort from me, my first | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
band shot, I would say, so in spite of the flash not working very well, | :23:29. | :23:36. | |
I thought I caught a candid at Bosnia. The cover of the album was | :23:36. | :23:42. | |
recently voted the best cover of all time, and it was in this for 40 | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
years ago that it was heard live for the first time. | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
But all did not run smoothly. The band's revolutionary sound | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
equipment caused a blackout halfway through the geek. The truth is that | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
it was a load of untested kier, brought in and plug in and it was | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
sort of overload -- gear. It went wrong after half-an-hour and it | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
went wrong on the bass riff of Money, which is the most important | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
piece, really, in the whole thing. Images from the band of that night | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
and throughout their career sit across from their unique album | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
covers, perhaps not as iconic as Dark Side Of The Moon. | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
This exhibition continues for another two months. Some of the | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
visitors today were huge fans, others just curious, but everyone | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
recognises at least one image. Well, we could do with some | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
sunshine over the weekend, will we get any? Michael Fish is with us | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
now. I'll leave that until later. It | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
I'll leave that until later. It will be a nondescript weekend, as I | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
said, and that does mean perhaps a lack of sunshine, but more than | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
that, affair that of cloud around. There is some good news on the way, | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
but it will be windy. We had cloud today, the thickest of the whole | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
country was on the eastern side and it also produced some outbreaks of | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
rain. We had most of the heavier rain to the north but one or two | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
burst came along from time to time, the heaviest in the northernmost | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
parts of Kent and we have just seen some breaking out in East Sussex. | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
It is going to be a cloudy night, increasingly breezy and it will | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
stay cloudy and a bit damp and drizzly from time to time. Not as | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
much rain as one would call a nuisance rain, not even getting the | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
windscreen wipers working, but some spit sunspots every now and again. | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
Temperatures not falling below six or seven degrees. A good deal of | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
ground -- ploughed through tomorrow, or again some rain here and there, | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
and come the afternoon, the chance of a Klinar or two of brightness. | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
It will be a very mild day, temperatures of the 10 of 11, but | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
tempered by the fact that it will be windy. Gusts could get up to 40 | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
mph over the hills and the coast. Tomorrow evening, more of the same, | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
the odd spot of rain, but mostly dry with a good deal of cloud, and | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
temperatures will not fall buried below. The lowest temperatures will | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
be like tonight, six or seven. That is the sort of temperature one | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
would expect in the daytime, let alone at night. The reason, of warm | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
air introduced, a warm front bringing in a warm sector and it | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
felt the cold front comes down, as it does on Sunday, we will stay on | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
the mild side -- until. The wind will spring a round to the South | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
West, bringing air from green land so it will feel very different, and | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
the unsettled team continues as it turns wet and windy on Tuesday. A | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
couple of mild days followed by a couple of chilly days, all of the | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
time windy with strong westerly winds, and that will be reflected | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
in the night-time temperatures, chilly night with some night-time | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
chilly night with some night-time frosts and couple of mild ones as | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
well. Not looking too bad. | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
Just before we go, a quick recap of tonight's top stories: | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
A dissident Republican has been jailed for life for the murder of | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
two soldiers outside a military barracks in Northern Ireland. | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
Another man was cleared of playing a part in the ambush. | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
A lawyer from Sussex who lied to police that he'd been kidnapped to | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
try to escape a drink-driving charge has been jailed for 12 | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
months for attempting to pervert the course of justice. | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
And with the London Olympics just six months away, Kent tourism | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
bosses have launched an appeal for 300 volunteers to help travellers | :27:28. | :27:35. |
