Welcome to South East Today. I'm John Young. And I'm Polly Evans. | :00:03. | :00:06. | |
Tonight's top stories. The creator of Fireman Sam is | :00:06. | :00:09. | |
detained at Gatwick Airport and accused of racism for a joke about | :00:09. | :00:17. | |
a Muslim woman's headscarf. It seems crazy I was in a high- | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
security area and there is someone with her face covered. It doesn't | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
add up. We're live with reaction at the | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
Sussex airport tonight. Nine more cases in the South of | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
England of the virus that is killing lambs across Europe. | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
Also in the programme. The GP's surgery that may close | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
within months and the critically ill patients who aren't happy. | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
Meet Hogar and meet his mate, Zizi. But will they do what the animal | :00:43. | :00:53. | |
keepers in Ashford are hoping they will do? My wife and I are glad to | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
visit... A play on words. The King's Speech | :00:57. | :01:07. | |
Good evening. The creator of a popular children's TV programme has | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
criticised security at Gatwick Airport, after he was detained for | :01:09. | :01:16. | |
allegedly making racists remarks about a veiled Muslim woman. David | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
Jones, who is a retired fireman and creator of the children's character | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
Fireman Sam, was detained at the Sussex airport after he questioned | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
why the Muslim woman's religious headwear was not removed and | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
checked, yet he was asked to remove his scarf. Mr Jones, who lives in | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
Portugal, told our reporter that he is seriously considering legal | :01:33. | :01:42. | |
action. Back home in Portugal after what | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
David's Jones described as a nightmare. His observation about a | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
passenger being screened in front of him by security set of events he | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
could not have predicted. I had an scarf because it was cold. I put it | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
in front of me while some body with their face completely covered its, | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
and I simply said to the security guard, I wonder if this scarf, if | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
it was covering my face, what it would happen. He said you're not | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
allowed to say that. He was separated from his daughters and | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
questioned by security and British Airways staff and finally police by | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
making -- for making a potentially racist remark. They suggested that | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
if I was to say it I can understand how the Muslim woman could perhaps | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
be worried about what I said, that would might -- that might be enough. | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
I was forced to agree with something I did not really agree | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
with. This was perhaps over reaction on both sides. I have been | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
tempted to ask, why me, when I have been stopped at airports. On one | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
occasion I asked why it was me and nobody else. If it was done in a | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
sensitive manner, and the officials explained why it is us they have | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
stopped and nobody else, that would go a long way to keep the peace | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
between the two asides. David's career was in the fire service but | :03:21. | :03:31. | |
:03:31. | :03:33. | ||
he found his inspiration for the cartoon character Fireman Sam. He | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
wonders how things have got so out of control. I grew up in a country | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
that had freedom of speech. I was told that the security guard had | :03:44. | :03:51. | |
suggested I was I was a drunken old person, which is what she said, | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
which is weird because I do not drink I have never smoked a | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
cigarette in my life. He is exploring the legal options. He | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
says he has a lot of work with a novel due to be published shortly | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
and charity work for the military, he would prefer to stay in Portugal | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
unless absolutely necessary. We can go to our reporter at | :04:18. | :04:26. | |
Gatwick. What more have the airport authorities said? | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
Gatwick have confirmed there is an investigation into the detention of | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
Mr Jones. They say official protocol was closely followed and | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
there was no requirement for the female passenger to remove her | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
religious headwear. They said the lady passed through security | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
without setting off an alarm and that is why he was not searched -- | :04:49. | :04:57. | |
she was not search. Mr Jones was said to be detained after any by | :04:57. | :05:05. | |
officer said he was offended by the comments made. In the era in which | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
we live in now the simple advice is to avoid any jovial comment or | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
action that could be misconstrued. It is not likely to be tolerated by | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
airport staff. In the case of Mr Jones, he almost missed his flight. | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
It is very stressful. People are anxious. They might make what they | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
think is a harmless joke, but please do not. Whatever you say, | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
whether it is a reference to passengers, the possible presence | :05:36. | :05:45. | |
of a weapon, is a bad idea. Although David Jones apologised and | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
continued his journey it might not be the end of the matter. He has | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
put in an official request to view the security footage they say shows | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
a Muslim security worker working in close proximity to wear the comment | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
was made. In a moment, Sussex's South Downs | :06:03. | :06:11. | |
receive half a million pounds to protect and restore the landscape. | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
The Government has today confirmed that nine more farms in the south | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
of England have reported cases of the Schmallenberg virus. The animal | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
virus highlighted on South East Today earlier this year causes | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
miscarriages and birth defects in livestock. The Schmallenberg virus | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
has mostly been discovered in sheep, but it has also affected a small | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
number of cattle. So far, 15 cases have been reported in East Sussex. | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
There have been 13 in Kent, seven in West Sussex, including one in | :06:37. | :06:47. | |
:06:47. | :06:49. | ||
cattle, and two cases in Surrey. Now the season is under way, more | :06:49. | :06:56. | |
cases of the virus are coming to light. Stillborn and deformed lambs | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
are the key indicator and farms are suffering, such as the shepherd who | :07:00. | :07:07. | |
did not want to identify his farm. We expected about 50 lambs. Either | :07:07. | :07:17. | |
they have been deformed, come out dead, or not materialised. Many | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
will not be there. That will have a serious impact when we do not come | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
to sell them. Farmers like Julian are keeping a close eye on their | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
flock. -- Julian. She hopes that those animals delivered later in | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
the season will be free of the virus. Most have large flocks. In | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
Sussex, we will have farms with up to 5000 sheep. It is worrying. This | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
is where their income is made. They do not have an alternative | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
enterprise such as arable. Sheep have been infected by images that | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
have come from the Continent. The scale of the impact in the UK is | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
not yet known. There is uncertainty because we do not know how many | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
farms will be affected. Relatively few at the moment. We do not know | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
how many animals they will lose. On the Continent, we have seen between | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
5% and 50% losses. If it stayed at the lower level, the impact would | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
be relatively low, but more than they would like. Farmers are being | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
vigilant. It is only now they are discovering if their flock has been | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
affected. They generally do not insure their sheep and there is no | :08:37. | :08:47. | |
:08:47. | :08:47. | ||
compensation on offer. They have to bear the cost of losses. | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
Did checked his have charged the former health care worker after in | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
inquiry of claims that hundreds of people in Medway were treated by a | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
woman who posed as a registered nurse without being qualified. The | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
woman who is 47 is charged from -- with deception and fraud. | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
The owners of a pub in Kent, which had chilli in the fridge that was | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
25 days old, have been fined almost �6,000 for a string of food hygiene | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
offences. Environmental Health officers took these pictures during | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
a routine inspection at the Anchor and Hope in South Ash Lane in Ash | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
in February last year. Virgin Atlantic's head office in | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
Crawley has received more than 3,000 applications for 500 jobs | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
since the airline announced its cabin-crew recruitment drive | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
earlier this month. The company has allocated extra staff to cope with | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
the demand. The new jobs will be based at Gatwick and Heathrow | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
airports. Seven British ski-resort workers, | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
including a 21-year-old from Crowborough, are claiming victory | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
following a six-day protest after being sacked. They had been | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
refusing to leave their chalet since Tuesday, demanding the wages | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
they say they are owed. The company, Ski the 3V, said it cannot comment | :09:55. | :10:02. | |
because the situation is in the hands of its legal team. | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
Critically ill patients in Kent fear they'll lose their doctor | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
after a row between the GP and local health bosses. Signs have | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
been posted on the door of the Marlowe Park Medical Centre in | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
Strood saying it could close at the end of March. Let's cross to Peter | :10:15. | :10:23. | |
Whittlesea who is in Medway. I understand the local MP is now | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
involved. That is right, the Conservative MP | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
has been holding meetings because there are concerns 3500 people | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
could be left without a doctor. He said he has been acting as a go- | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
between between the surgery and the Primary Care Trust and wants to | :10:42. | :10:50. | |
find a resolution. They are painkillers for my | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
arthritis. Colin has a chronic lung condition and arthritis. He says | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
his local surgery is a lifeline and claims he will not be able to get | :11:00. | :11:08. | |
treatment he requires if it closes. If it closes, what will we do? It | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
will take a doctor three to four hours to get here. More would | :11:13. | :11:23. | |
happen in the meantime,? Patients were alarmed when they saw the | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
notice that the surgery would close. The doctor says he is being forced | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
out through changes to his contract. We are disappointed that it has | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
refused to allow the practice to continue to provide medical | :11:38. | :11:46. | |
services from 2012. I have asked them to reconsider the decision as | :11:46. | :11:53. | |
a priority. The primary care trusts said it had worked hard to maintain | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
a service to patients and had offered the doctor an 18 month | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
offered the doctor an 18 month extension but he had failed to | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
agree. The trust said patients will be contacted if the decision is | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
be contacted if the decision is be contacted if the decision is | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
made to move health services. Patients say they want to stay put. | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
I am not interested. The trust and practice should have organised this. | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
There are over 3000 people who will be left without a doctor. What will | :12:19. | :12:27. | |
they do? How will they be treated? Patients say time is running out | :12:27. | :12:34. | |
before there is an impact on health. They have been complications with | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
the renewal of the -- with the trust. The trust says that patients | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
will be informed and if the practice closes they will be | :12:44. | :12:54. | |

Tonight's top story: The creator of children's TV | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
character Fireman Sam has complained about being detained for | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
an hour at Gatwick Airport, after he made what he says was a joke | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
about a Muslim woman's religious headwear. David Jones was asked to | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
remove his scarf at security but he questioned if he'd have had to | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
remove it had it been around his head. | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
Also in tonight's programme: Limbering up for a right royal play | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
- the King's Speech switches from screen to stage in Sussex. | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
And after all that sunshine at the weekend, where has it gone? Find | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
out later with me, whether it will be rain or shine, windy all fine | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
for the rest of the week. If you have a story you think we | :13:31. | :13:41. | |
:13:41. | :13:54. | ||
should be covering on South East The South Downs is to get hundreds | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
of thousands of pounds from the Government to help protect many of | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
its pathways and wildlife habitats. The Government has announced 12 new | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
nature improvement areas that will get a share of �7.5 million to | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
create wildlife havens and restore habitats. The South Downs National | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
Park will get over �500,000 of the money to safeguard endangeredchalk | :14:13. | :14:22. | |
downland. Chrissie Reidy has tonight's special report. | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
Recognised for its outstanding beauty, the South Downs stretches | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
almost 100 miles, from Eastbourne to Winchester. Rich in chalk and | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
vital to rare and endangered wildlife, it is one of 12 areas | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
that has been awarded just over �500,000 from the Government to | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
help restore wildlife havens, restore habitat and encourage local | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
still embrace what is on their doorstep. It will allow us across | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
to whole length of the National Park, from Eastbourne to Winchester, | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
to work with the farming community to direct funding into areas which | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
we can develop for wildlife, enriched the areas, enriched the | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
grass lands, so it because -- becomes a much richer habitat. | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
While preserving endangered species like the Duke of Burgundy butterfly | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
is a big part of the project, bringing Conservation and those who | :15:14. | :15:21. | |
live and work on the land closer together is key. The one, then. | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
Come on. The South Downs is a farming | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
landscape. It is the product, really, of generations of farmers. | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
It is very important that the National Park works with the | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
farmers to ensure that we continue to preserve this wonderful | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
landscape. And it is a landscape which supplies water to millions in | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
Sussex, so linking the environmental benefits of this bid | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
are crucial. What this national improvement area hopes to do is | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
linked the wildlife with the services we get from the | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
environment, particularly water. If you have a high quality environment, | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
the water that percolate through the soil will be higher quality at | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
the cost of treatment will be lower. So as well as being of cultural | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
benefit, there is some hard currency attached in getting the | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
environment right. It is early days yet as to how this money will be | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
spent, but safeguarding this precious landscape for generations | :16:18. | :16:28. | |
:16:28. | :16:32. | ||
Staff at an animal sanctuary in Kent are hoping they'll soon be | :16:32. | :16:39. | |
able to breed the world's most endangered species of big cat. So | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
far, things are encouraging - a pair of Amur leopards have started | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
mating at the Wildlife Heritage Foundation near Ashford. | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
There are only 30 of the animals left in the wild in Russia's Amur | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
Valley, so conservationists are hoping these two will have cubs. | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
They were put in the same enclosure for the first time after a long | :16:55. | :17:03. | |
wait for the female to come into season. Natalie Graham reports. | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
Theirs is an arranged marriage. Hogar was brought to Kent from a | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
zoo in a chap -- Czech Republic so he can mate with Xizi. They have | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
been in neighbouring enclosures for a few months, getting used to one | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
another. But the decision to put them in together has to be timed | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
perfectly. If she is not in season, they could fight, and even killed | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
each other. It has taken months of watching and waiting but the time | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
is now right for them to get together. | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
We are about to open up the division, what are you hoping will | :17:35. | :17:44. | |
happen? Well, everything and nothing. It's one of these things | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
where you don't want them to totally ignore each other. You want | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
a level of aggression shown by the male, because he has got to prove | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
himself. She will hopefully tease him a little bit. Ultimately, what | :17:53. | :18:01. | |
we want to do is we want to start the mating process. She did not | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
hesitate to enter the enclosure. After that, things happened rather | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
quickly. There we go. She just presented herself to him. And now | :18:10. | :18:20. | |
:18:20. | :18:20. | ||
So what is happening now? She is starting to roll around, and what | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
that does it increases the chance of conception. So this is good? | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
it absolutely positive. Time is running out for the ABBA a leopard, | :18:31. | :18:37. | |
so the pressure is really on these two -- the Amur leopard. If they | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
have healthy and balls, the offspring could be taken from Kent | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
to Russia to a protected reserve in the ABBA Aire Valley where they | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
belong. belong. | :18:47. | :18:54. | |
Earth What beautiful creatures. And on tonight's Inside Out, you | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
can also find out how baby tigers at the same sanctuary got on when | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
they had their first taste of snow. I think we know the answer to that | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
one. That's at 7:30pm here on BBC One. | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
That comes with a cute animal warning! | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
Football now and it was wins all round for our three league teams at | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
the weekend. But Brighton's victory over Ipswich | :19:12. | :19:22. | |
:19:22. | :19:25. | ||
was arguably the most impressive, of promotions alive. The FA Cup and | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
Liverpool aside, Brighton remain unbeatable in the championship | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
season this year. Craig Mackail- Smith started the goal first after | :19:32. | :19:39. | |
90 minutes. That goal fest. Ashley Barnes secured all three points | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
with two goals of his own. They now lie tantalisingly close to the | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
play-off zone. I have not tried to buy a one-way. I'm trying to buy | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
full bore using the quality of our players and while you do that, | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
taking advantage of the opposition, taking advantage of the opposition, | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
taking advantage of the situation, and when you play like that, you | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
can always make decisions on the pitch and sort out games that look | :20:03. | :20:13. | |
:20:13. | :20:15. | ||
of their own destiny. 13 points between them and their place. Their | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
nearest rivals Sheffield United to have two games in hand, so it is | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
still tight, but the record crowd at the Valley could be forgiven for | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
dreaming of Championship football next season. Chris Robinson and | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
Bradley Wright-Phillips with the goals. | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
In League Two, Simon King's diving header means Gillingham have now | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
scored four points from two matches, more than their previous six put | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
together. Danny Kedwell's penalty sealed the win at Torquay, that | :20:44. | :20:51. | |
really answered the Priestfield And tonight, Crawley are away at | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
Shrewsbury hoping to consolidate on their League Two promotion chances. | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
The film took �250 million at the box office and now the stage | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
version is about to hit Brighton. The King's Speech is the story of | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
George VI's struggle with a stammer during the 1930s. | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
Millions of movie-goers have been moved by the narrative, but did you | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
know the film was originally written as a play? Ian Palmer is | :21:16. | :21:26. | |
live outside the Royal Theatre. The writer was born in Surrey? | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
Yesterday, just a few miles west of way you are. -- yes. He moved to | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
the United States as a young boy before becoming a writer. He began | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
writing The King's Speech in 1982 but didn't been issued because the | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
Queen Mother said it was too upsetting and personal and asked | :21:41. | :21:50. | |
him to stop -- didn't finish it. He began rewriting it after her death, | :21:50. | :22:00. | |
:22:00. | :22:17. | ||
He was the reluctant king. A man who had greatness thrust upon him. | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
The story of King George VI's battle with a speech impediment has | :22:21. | :22:30. | |
:22:31. | :22:37. | ||
become a worldwide hit on the big It was originally written as a play. | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
Actors Joss Ackland and Emma Fielding play George V and the | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
Queen Mother. If you are a Republican, effectively Britain was | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
helped through the second world war by a maverick Australian a speech | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
therapist. I think it is a great production and there are some | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
really wonderful performance is in it and I am not just saying that | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
because I am in it. Bertie, or George VI as he became known after | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
his brother's abdication, was a war time monarch. The country looked to | :23:03. | :23:10. | |
him for leadership. For the intensely private man, that meant | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
public speaking. His idea of a living hell. | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
The play is more political than the film. Joss Ackland remembers the | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
1930s well. As a young man, he demonstrated against the Fascists | :23:18. | :23:27. | |
on the streets of London. At school, I had a ganged, which was there to | :23:27. | :23:34. | |
protect the Jews at school. -- a gang. A lot of Jews were coming | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
over from Germany, of course, and believe me, it was pretty dicey at | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
that time. The play's writer David Siedler won an Oscar for the Best | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
Original Screenplay. At the time, he described his astonishment at | :23:47. | :23:55. | |
the film's runaway success. There was no idea of cinema, of coming to | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
America. Oscars? No thought of that whatsoever. So when some people say | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
this was deliberate Oscar bait, I start to giggle hysterically, | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
because it was the last thing on my mind. The revolving stage allows | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
the cast to change pace in an instant. The King's Speech is a | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
story that appeals to the masses. What's more, it's all true. And the | :24:16. | :24:25. | |
audience just can't get enough. For an added note of the voracity, | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
many of the notes used by the speech therapist Lionel Logue, the | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
Australian, were incorporated into the film and of course, the play, | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
about to go on stage behind me. So what you are seen on stage is | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
actually a Jew -- true representation of what happened at | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
the time. Art is history and history is art. | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
And it has a fabulous cast, thank you very much. | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
Two days left of February, what has it got in store? | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
it got in store? Cloudy, I'm afraid! For those of | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
you who get a little kick out of pressure charts like this, I don't | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
you two do, we are going to be seen a high-pressure situation over the | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
next few days, which many of you will know at certain times of the | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
year, we can get heat waves, warm, sunny days, staying dry with light | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
winds, but not always. At this time of year in particular, with sea | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
temperatures been low, still 89 degrees and with the moisture in | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
the air, when we get cloud, it can stick around for days -- eight or | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
nine degrees. That can be the situation we will find ourselves in. | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
The high pressure keeping pigs pose the dry but also fairly cloudy and | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
mild -- keeping things mostly dry. So cloudy but mild for the rest of | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
the week. I have said mainly dry because another weather front is | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
speaking through this evening. The next couple of hours will turn | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
quite damp. It is certainly very cloudy at the moment and if we take | :25:55. | :26:01. | |
it away, you can see how close the rain is, about an hour away to the | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
north-west of us and will be moving across. It is very light, more of a | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
cruiser than a bruiser, just a couple of millimetres of wet | :26:09. | :26:15. | |
weather, damp overnight and certainly still very mild. It will | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
be cloudy and murky but mild start tomorrow and we have got this | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
situation where fairly cloudy day, but if we get some of that | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
brightness, the air is going to boost the temperatures, getting up | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
to 14, 15, maybe 16 if we do get the sunshine, but on the whole, a | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
cloudy day and particularly around the south coast, temperatures only | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
just into double figures. Hopefully some sunshine for many others in | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
places over the next few days, but again overall, a cloudy picture | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
with some high pressure trapping the cloud. Tomorrow evening, fairly | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
misty and Becky in places, but Wednesday, possibly a better chance | :26:55. | :27:01. | |
of getting their sunny breaks, so temperatures way above average, way | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
above average, 16 degrees, if we get the sunshine. No change for | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
Thursday, the Battle of cloud continues and temperatures once | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
again very mild. But much has changed in through the week, we | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
have that rain in the next couple of hours, fairly light, and then | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
the next few days, mostly cloudy and staying dry and I think | :27:20. | :27:26. | |
Wednesday, the sunshine they just went out, giving us 15 or 16 | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
went out, giving us 15 or 16 degrees. That may just when out. | :27:28. | :27:32. |
