:00:07. > :00:10.John Young. And I'm Chrissie Reidy. Tonight's top stories. Drilling has
:00:10. > :00:18.now begun at the site in Balcombe, where protesters have gathered for a
:00:18. > :00:28.ninth day. A former soldier who lost �750,000 to online gambling says the
:00:28. > :00:28.
:00:28. > :00:33.government needs to put pressure on the industry. I've gone from being a
:00:33. > :00:36.director of a financial services company to losing it all. A new look
:00:36. > :00:40.for roadworkers in East Sussex. Helmet cameras to catch out
:00:40. > :00:43.motorists who drive dangerously. Equestrian ecstasy. One year on from
:00:43. > :00:49.a golden Olympics, international competitors go head to head at
:00:49. > :00:59.Hickstead. The sound of a gentler age, the unique harp workshop taking
:00:59. > :01:13.
:01:13. > :01:16.finally started today after a week of protests at the West Sussex
:01:16. > :01:19.village of Balcombe. Protestors have held a minutes' silence to mark the
:01:19. > :01:22.moment. Today, as the anti-fracking protests entered their ninth day,
:01:22. > :01:26.two more people were arrested as they tried to prevent lorries
:01:26. > :01:34.entering Cuadrilla's site. Sara Smith has been monitoring today's
:01:34. > :01:39.developments. Each lorry arriving at the site has received a similar
:01:39. > :01:43.welcome. This time, though, it wasn't just shouting but a direct
:01:43. > :01:49.clash between protesters and police. A man and a woman were arrested for
:01:49. > :01:54.assaulting police officers, to the furious the crowd. The day had
:01:54. > :02:03.started on a very different note. The news that drilling had begun
:02:03. > :02:07.prompted a minutes silence. On the site, work was finally underway. The
:02:07. > :02:11.search for oil is just stage one. It's a long way off any decisions
:02:11. > :02:17.over whether or how to bring it to the surface being made. We are
:02:17. > :02:21.drilling a six inch hole in the ground. I do want to put it in that
:02:21. > :02:24.context because it sometimes gets overblown that this is a massive
:02:24. > :02:30.engineering operation. That will take a month or a month and a half
:02:30. > :02:34.to complete. If we find oil, we will test that oil and see what rate it
:02:34. > :02:39.flows that. At the camp, numbers have been swelled by protest
:02:39. > :02:44.supporters from the Northwest. Lancashire is the only county in the
:02:44. > :02:48.UK with fracking has taken place so far. We are showing support here. We
:02:48. > :02:54.are hoping that when the time comes for the rich to come a Lancashire,
:02:54. > :02:58.some of these nice people here will come and support us. Manuel is able
:02:58. > :03:02.to dash-macro boll Comte resident. feel very strongly that our village
:03:02. > :03:09.is going to be turned into an industrial site. I don't think
:03:09. > :03:12.people realise just what it entails. Cuadrilla's attempts to assure
:03:12. > :03:18.people their plans will pose no threat were providing much-needed
:03:18. > :03:21.fuel, falling here on deaf ears. The company behind all this, Cuadrilla,
:03:21. > :03:25.first courted controversy when it started fracking for gas in the
:03:25. > :03:29.north-west. What exactly have they done so far in Sussex? Today they
:03:29. > :03:33.started test drilling for oil which they know is there - it was found
:03:33. > :03:37.during exploration in the 80s. They say that if they find a significant
:03:37. > :03:41.amount of oil that they can't raise by conventional drilling, they may
:03:41. > :03:50.apply to frack for it. This would mean a new planning application from
:03:50. > :03:56.West Sussex County Council, which could take at least nine months. The
:03:56. > :04:02.company are not expecting to find any gas - it's all about oil. Now
:04:02. > :04:06.the drilling has begun, what other protest is planning to do? They say
:04:06. > :04:10.they are going to stay. They store have an important message to get
:04:10. > :04:14.across to Cuadrilla and to the government. More tents have been
:04:14. > :04:19.arriving and being pitched here during the day. Despite the scenes
:04:19. > :04:23.you saw earlier, those clashes and arrests, these protests have largely
:04:23. > :04:27.been very passionate but very peaceful as well. For Cuadrilla,
:04:27. > :04:31.they have started drilling today but behind schedule, later than they
:04:31. > :04:35.planned. They've asked for an extension to their licence. That was
:04:35. > :04:38.due to run out in September, but they say they want to continue their
:04:38. > :04:45.exploration works now they've started the job, they want to get it
:04:45. > :04:49.done. A former city high flyer has today urged people to be aware of
:04:49. > :04:51.online gambling, after he lost his wife, his children and his job over
:04:51. > :04:55.his addiction. In all, Justyn Larcombe, who lives near Tonbridge,
:04:55. > :04:58.reckons he's lost �750,000. He decided to speak to this programme
:04:58. > :05:06.to put pressure on the industry and, as Robin Gibson reports, remind the
:05:06. > :05:10.public how badly it can go wrong. He is a former soldier who has served
:05:10. > :05:16.his country. The story of his downfall is simple but
:05:16. > :05:23.all-too-familiar. Gambling has completely changed everything I do.
:05:23. > :05:27.I've gone from being a director of a financial services company, quite
:05:27. > :05:33.successful with a nice wage and nice house and cars and what everyone
:05:33. > :05:39.else would see as success, a beautiful wife and 2-macro boys, to
:05:39. > :05:43.losing it all. It didn't take long, he didn't need high street bookies.
:05:43. > :05:47.You could bet online whenever he liked, at home, sometimes in the day
:05:47. > :05:51.and sometimes in the middle of the night. He became more desperate as
:05:51. > :05:54.his losses mounted. And when he thought he'd run out of things to
:05:54. > :05:59.sell, he remembered his military ceremonial sword will stop he'd
:05:59. > :06:04.planned to leave it to his sons. cried when I left the antiques shop
:06:04. > :06:09.because it hurt. But I'd spent the �200 within probably 2-macro hours
:06:09. > :06:11.that afternoon. It was everything. Gambling had become my life. It was
:06:11. > :06:16.a complete fabrication because those people around me didn't actually
:06:16. > :06:20.know what I was doing. The online gambling industry has been blamed
:06:20. > :06:25.for destroying lives and families. Justyn Larcombe says there should
:06:25. > :06:30.now be a one-stop shop, an online register, so if someone signs
:06:30. > :06:35.themselves up to self exclude, it shouldn't be allowed onto a gambling
:06:35. > :06:39.website again. Charities agree. really important to have the self
:06:39. > :06:44.exclusion mechanism that works. But the government has an opportunity to
:06:44. > :06:47.change that with its new bill, by providing this one-stop shop for
:06:47. > :06:51.self exclusion. We do keep an open mind about these things and are
:06:51. > :06:54.always happy to try new initiatives. But gambling is an
:06:54. > :06:59.activity that comes with risks associated and we'd be the first to
:06:59. > :07:01.accept that. The question then is, what are the right tools and
:07:01. > :07:06.mechanisms to provide the maximum number of protections for the
:07:06. > :07:09.maximum number of people? He says the government should now force the
:07:09. > :07:19.industry to police itself, developing its own systems to deter
:07:19. > :07:20.
:07:20. > :07:24.gambling addicts. Before too many other families lives are ruined. In
:07:24. > :07:27.a moment, cutting down the number of scenes like this. Calls for speed
:07:27. > :07:33.limits to be reduced on country roads, from a woman who survived a
:07:33. > :07:36.smash. Roadworkers in East Sussex are to wear helmet cameras in an
:07:36. > :07:40.attempt to catch motorists who drive dangerously. The county council says
:07:40. > :07:44.the move is designed to protect the workers, and any evidence of bad
:07:44. > :07:53.driving, such as using mobile phones or speeding, will be handed to the
:07:54. > :07:57.police. He's been working for highways for the past decade but in
:07:57. > :08:01.the last be years, Lee says he faces physical and verbal abuse from
:08:01. > :08:05.motorists on a regular basis. That's why he's happy to wear a head
:08:05. > :08:09.camera. I don't think we should have to go this far but it's the way
:08:09. > :08:13.we've got to go now, it's not fair on the workforce. It's good they are
:08:13. > :08:17.protecting us and realise something has got to be done about it. East
:08:17. > :08:21.Sussex county council says it's been forced to ask workers to wear
:08:21. > :08:25.cameras because this year they're been ten reported incidents of
:08:25. > :08:29.assault. Of those, three have ended in successful prosecutions and a
:08:29. > :08:35.further three are about to go to court. Only yesterday we had one of
:08:35. > :08:40.our guys who mans the road closure, he had his feet driven over. It's
:08:40. > :08:45.not acceptable. We will not accept that. We're working with the Sussex
:08:45. > :08:48.Police and will prosecute people. Cyclists have used head camera is to
:08:48. > :08:52.highlight dangerous driving. In situations where there are no
:08:52. > :08:56.witnesses, footage can be crucial in securing prosecutions. But critics
:08:56. > :09:06.are concerned about a surveillance society. I'm amazed people have to
:09:06. > :09:06.
:09:06. > :09:11.go round with recording devices in their hearts. Dash-macro they have
:09:11. > :09:17.to because they are being threatened. I'm not a big fan of the
:09:17. > :09:20.surveillance society these days. It's a sad comment will stop I'm not
:09:20. > :09:26.worried about it in this instance, no. I think there's a lot of
:09:26. > :09:31.aggravation on the roads which is unnecessary. The council says the
:09:31. > :09:36.head cams are to improve the safety of workers and won't be used to
:09:36. > :09:39.police parking offences. A 19-year-old man and a 16-year-old
:09:39. > :09:43.girl have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a petrol
:09:43. > :09:47.station manager, from West Kingsdown in Kent, was run down by suspected
:09:47. > :09:51.fuel thieves. Lekshmanan Ashok Kumar was carried half a mile down the
:09:51. > :09:55.road on the bonnet of a car when he tried to stop the driver from
:09:55. > :10:00.leaving without paying for fuel on Wednesday. He's now no longer in a
:10:00. > :10:03.critical condition in hospital. A man charged with the murder of
:10:03. > :10:06.Michael Polding, from Sussex, has pleaded not guilty to his murder at
:10:06. > :10:10.Lewes Crown Court. Ricardo Pisano also denied GBH but admitted
:10:10. > :10:19.preventing his burial. Mr Polding's decomposing body was discovered in a
:10:19. > :10:22.flat in Kemp Town in Brighton last July. A family doctor from Swanley
:10:22. > :10:25.in Kent has pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a string of
:10:25. > :10:28.patients and taking intimate pictures at his GP practice. Dr
:10:28. > :10:32.Barend Delport had 500,000 indecent images on his computer when he was
:10:32. > :10:36.arrested at his home in Eynsford. Our reporter Jon Hunt joins us from
:10:36. > :10:46.outside the surgery in Swanley now. Jon, how were Dr Delport's crimes
:10:46. > :10:48.
:10:48. > :10:52.discovered? Police learned about these crimes when the mother of a
:10:52. > :10:56.female child contacted them to say that Doctor Delport had taken
:10:56. > :11:01.intimate photographs of her when she'd only come in to complain of a
:11:01. > :11:05.stomach ache. He was arrested at his home and detectives there discovered
:11:05. > :11:11.this huge stash of photographs, some downloaded off the Internet, some
:11:11. > :11:15.taken during medical examinations. Today, he pleaded guilty to 26
:11:15. > :11:20.offences, which included three counts of indecent assaults on
:11:20. > :11:24.children, and 12 counts of taking indecent images of children. Dr
:11:24. > :11:30.Alison Milroy is from NHS England. You were involved in this
:11:30. > :11:34.investigation. This was a monumental breach of trust. Speaking as a GP
:11:34. > :11:38.myself, and someone that works at NHS England, trying to make sure
:11:38. > :11:41.that the GPs give the best possible care they can, I'd like to say we
:11:41. > :11:47.are devastated by what this individual doctor has done. His
:11:47. > :11:51.behaviour was unacceptable. I'm sorry to anybody who has been harmed
:11:51. > :11:54.by his behaviour. I'd like to say a big thank you to anybody who came
:11:54. > :11:59.forward, most particularly to the mum who raised the very first
:11:59. > :12:03.concern with the police. If anybody has concerns about their care from
:12:03. > :12:07.Dr Delport, there's a confidential NHS helpline. I believe the number
:12:07. > :12:11.will be on your website. I will give details in a moment. What issues
:12:11. > :12:15.does this phrase about the taking of photography during medical
:12:15. > :12:19.examinations? The positive things that have come out of the
:12:19. > :12:24.investigation that we've started things like we've developed a policy
:12:24. > :12:30.for medical photography in general practice, which has already been
:12:30. > :12:34.shared with the GPs in Kent and Medway. It makes it clear to GPs
:12:34. > :12:38.what is appropriate to photograph and the proper way to do it. But in
:12:38. > :12:42.addition, if there are concerns that come out of the investigation about
:12:42. > :12:50.the way that GPs are supervised, we will make sure this is shared with
:12:50. > :13:00.the NHS as a whole. As we heard, there are details on our website if
:13:00. > :13:07.
:13:07. > :13:10.you've been affected by this case or host its biggest ever Pride event
:13:10. > :13:13.with over 100,000 people expected to join the celebrations. It's 40 years
:13:14. > :13:17.since Brighton's first gay pride march in 1973 and some would like to
:13:17. > :13:26.see the political message of the 70s still to play a prominent part.
:13:26. > :13:29.Juliette Parkin reports. Pride is proud of its past. Fuelled by what
:13:29. > :13:33.was regarded as homophobic legislation of the Thatcher years,
:13:33. > :13:39.the gay community in Brighton marched for their rights in the
:13:39. > :13:42.early 90s, and some feel the event has lost a key message. P stands for
:13:42. > :13:47.pride but it also stands for politics as well. People think
:13:47. > :13:52.that's a dirty word, but we are in a country where the Queen is the head
:13:52. > :14:02.of Commonwealth, and 41 out of 54 of those countries, homosexuality is
:14:02. > :14:03.
:14:04. > :14:09.illegal there and in 2-macro it's a capital offence. This is a gay pride
:14:09. > :14:15.march in London in 1979. It was the first UK city to host the event.
:14:15. > :14:19.Brighton saw a sore dash-macro minority take to the streets in 73.
:14:19. > :14:23.Today the event is much bigger and more flamboyant, so has it become
:14:23. > :14:31.more party than protest? It's not just about a party, it's a
:14:31. > :14:35.celebration. We've had two weeks of arts and film, history, walks, we've
:14:35. > :14:41.had an exhibition at the library. With thousands expected on the city
:14:41. > :14:46.'s streets, policing Pride is a major operation, this year involving
:14:46. > :14:53.over 200 officers. It's been very difficult. It really has stretched
:14:53. > :14:58.what is going on in Balkan. That said, if somebody needs a police
:14:58. > :15:06.officer they will get one. They are setting up today ahead of tomorrow's
:15:06. > :15:12.event. But the party comes with a price tag, and this year it is
:15:12. > :15:18.expected to be around �500,000. Ticketing the event in recent years
:15:18. > :15:22.has helped raise funds and control numbers. It is hoped Pride's past
:15:22. > :15:24.will not stop the party. Juliette is at Madeira Drive, where the parade
:15:25. > :15:28.starts tomorrow. Juliette, we're expecting lots of colour and
:15:28. > :15:33.celebration tomorrow, but some are hoping there will be more to it than
:15:33. > :15:37.that. That's right. This stretch of sea front is expected to be packed
:15:37. > :15:42.with people, not only taking part in the parade but also those who come
:15:42. > :15:45.down to watch. Nobody is saying I don't have fun and don't enjoy the
:15:45. > :15:50.party, they are saying that Brighton is such a liberal city, that is
:15:50. > :15:52.something to be celebrated. But campaigners are saying, let's not
:15:52. > :15:57.forget those communities across the world who don't enjoy such freedom,
:15:57. > :16:02.where it's still illegal to be gay. There will be a political message
:16:02. > :16:12.during the parade in support of gay in Russia who are currently
:16:12. > :16:12.
:16:12. > :16:15.experiencing depression. Our top story tonight. Energy company
:16:15. > :16:18.Cuadrilla has started drilling at the site in Balcombe as
:16:18. > :16:22.anti-fracking protesters gathered for a ninth day. Two people were
:16:22. > :16:32.arrested as scuffles broke out between campaigners and the police.
:16:32. > :16:54.
:16:54. > :16:58.Still to come Drdot-macro we watch a Kent woman who had to be cut out of
:16:58. > :17:01.her car after another vehicle slammed into the back of her on a
:17:01. > :17:05.rural road is backing a campaign to reduce the speed limit through her
:17:05. > :17:08.village. Becky Dunster has joined more than 500 other villagers to try
:17:08. > :17:11.and reduce the speed limit between Matfield and Brenchley. At the
:17:11. > :17:14.moment it's the national limit of 60mph. Last year, more than 1,200
:17:14. > :17:18.people died on rural roads in the UK. That's nearly double the number
:17:18. > :17:21.who died on urban roads. But despite the high number of deaths on rural
:17:22. > :17:31.roads, urban roads have three times more accidents. Rebecca Williams has
:17:31. > :17:35.tonight's Special Report. It was a lucky escape. Becky Dunster had just
:17:35. > :17:38.parked outside her house when another car crashed into her. Her
:17:38. > :17:43.head smashed through the windscreen, and she is now calling for a change
:17:43. > :17:47.to the road speed limit, along with fellow residents. I didn't know if I
:17:47. > :17:53.was going to get out of the car. I didn't know if that was it, because
:17:53. > :17:58.I was so trapped. I was bleeding everywhere. I just didn't think I
:17:58. > :18:01.was going to survive it. When the accident happened on this country
:18:01. > :18:08.road in Matfield, where more than 500 residents have signed a petition
:18:08. > :18:12.to change the speed limit from 60 mph to 30 or 40 mph. I think the
:18:13. > :18:16.drivers themselves are confused. Suddenly changes to 40 and then it
:18:16. > :18:26.goes back to 30. There's so many examples of that throughout Kent and
:18:26. > :18:29.
:18:29. > :18:32.Sussex. Last year in Kent there were over 4000 collisions, 50 people died
:18:32. > :18:35.and 474 were seriously injured. But it would seem you are more likely to
:18:35. > :18:37.have a fatal accident on a rural road man in an urban area. That's an
:18:37. > :18:42.issue the government is addressing. Last year they outlined proposals to
:18:42. > :18:46.change speeds and country roads from 60 to 40 mph. However, in January it
:18:46. > :18:51.was decided that any decision should be made at local level, with the aim
:18:51. > :18:55.of ensuring country roads are safe. They can be narrow, twisting, there
:18:55. > :18:59.can be hills with lots of blind spots. Drivers can think because
:18:59. > :19:03.there's less traffic and because it's a beautiful place to be that
:19:03. > :19:07.it's actually a lot safer than it is. Drivers really do need to think
:19:07. > :19:11.about their speed on rural roads. Kent county council insist they do
:19:11. > :19:21.all they can to keep road users safe. They say fatalities have
:19:21. > :19:28.
:19:28. > :19:38.fallen significantly in recent years. It's a heavenly sound often
:19:38. > :19:42.
:19:42. > :19:45.thought of with being part of an ancient age. It's an ancient
:19:45. > :19:49.instrument, harps were used 4000 years ago in ancient Persia, but
:19:49. > :19:52.they're still in demand today. And if you want to buy one, chances are
:19:52. > :19:55.it might be made at Godstone in Surrey, where the country's only
:19:55. > :19:59.pedal harp manufacturers have just taken on a couple of new
:19:59. > :20:05.apprentices. If it sounds like this and looks like thisdot-macro then it
:20:05. > :20:15.was most likely made here in Godstone. They are the only UK
:20:15. > :20:21.
:20:21. > :20:24.manufacturers of the pedal harp. price of a harp has come down
:20:24. > :20:30.enormously. Some Victorian hops, you could have bought a small village
:20:30. > :20:35.for the price of them! They aren't the cheapest of instruments to take
:20:35. > :20:39.up, it's true, but making them as a craft that takes years to learn,
:20:39. > :20:44.something one of the apprentices understand all too well. It's been
:20:44. > :20:50.difficult. When you are young you think you can do it but there's a
:20:50. > :20:55.lot to it. I make the bodies of the instruments. The bodies similar to
:20:55. > :20:59.an acoustic guitar. It is where the sound is produced. That sound is
:20:59. > :21:02.perhaps more familiar in an orchestra, but one of their hearts
:21:03. > :21:11.made it into mainstream music as it took to put stayed with the band
:21:11. > :21:15.Florence and the machine. And it's a complicated bit of kit. It is made
:21:15. > :21:22.up of around 2000 pieces of metal that take up to 12 weeks for the
:21:22. > :21:26.team to make and can cost upwards of �10,000. Despite their cost, the
:21:26. > :21:30.team receive a steady order for the instruments, which has allowed them
:21:30. > :21:40.to train up two apprentices, so the skills needed to make a pedal harp
:21:40. > :21:44.are not lost. It makes you want to fall asleep but we've got a crack on
:21:44. > :21:47.with some sport now. Love it or hate it, we're up and running again. The
:21:47. > :21:50.new football season begins in earnest this weekend with all four
:21:50. > :21:53.of the south east's clubs in action tomorrow. Neil Bell joins us from
:21:53. > :21:57.Chatham. Neil, there was high drama when the Gills were promoted as
:21:57. > :22:07.League Two champions in May, what are their prospects up in League
:22:07. > :22:09.
:22:09. > :22:13.optimism around these parts, and they are the return of strikers Cody
:22:13. > :22:16.Macdonald and the big man, Adebayo Akinfenwa, they struck up a great
:22:16. > :22:19.understanding three seasons ago. On paper it seems like a great idea to
:22:20. > :22:23.reunite them and, while Cody Macdonald has had a couple of quiet
:22:23. > :22:27.years, big Bayo was in impressive form last season with 17 goals for
:22:27. > :22:33.Northampton Town. And 31 now, gone away and scored a lot of goals. I've
:22:33. > :22:37.got a bit more experience to pass on to the younger strikers. I'm looking
:22:37. > :22:40.forward to this season, it should be fun. Elsewhere in League One,
:22:40. > :22:42.Crawley Town take on cash strapped Coventry City. While in the
:22:42. > :22:44.Championship, Charlton Athletic travel to newly promoted
:22:44. > :22:50.Bournemouth. After a summer of intrigue and rumour, Brighton fans
:22:50. > :22:55.will be delighted to get back to action. Tomorrow's trip to Leeds
:22:55. > :23:01.will be new head coach Oscar Garcia's first competitive fixture.
:23:01. > :23:07.I'm very excited to go there, to start there. I would prefer to start
:23:07. > :23:11.here with all the fans playing at home but we have to play against all
:23:11. > :23:16.the teams in the championship. We have two start there and will play
:23:16. > :23:21.there. This time last year, millions of people were celebrating the
:23:21. > :23:24.success of our equestrian team at London 2012. Many of those medal
:23:24. > :23:27.winners, together with most of the rest of the world's best
:23:27. > :23:30.competitors, are at Hickstead in Sussex. Indeed, this afternoon our
:23:30. > :23:40.show-jumping team competed in this country for the first time since
:23:40. > :23:41.
:23:41. > :23:45.winning gold. Lovely weather, huge crowds and some superlative riding
:23:45. > :23:49.from a variety of British competitors made London 2012 one of
:23:49. > :23:54.the most memorable Olympics ever for our home-grown horse men and women.
:23:54. > :24:00.Today, many of them were at Hickstead, the UK's premier
:24:00. > :24:03.equestrian centre. You hear a lot from the foreign guys who are here,
:24:03. > :24:07.it's nicely old-fashioned, a lot of traditional things are happening
:24:07. > :24:12.here and it's a completely different show to Rotterdam or other places.
:24:12. > :24:17.It's got its own character, the ring is unique in itself. The crowds are
:24:17. > :24:22.great here. We love coming here. Many of today's competitors are
:24:22. > :24:27.Hickstead regulars but, remarkably, Olympic hero Scott Brush has never
:24:28. > :24:33.competed in Sussex before. He's very impressed. You don't get too many
:24:33. > :24:40.grass rings now, with the way the weather can affect it. It's really
:24:40. > :24:43.hard to keep it perfect. I must say, if you do get a grass rings that is
:24:43. > :24:47.well maintained and looked after, it is the best service for horses to
:24:47. > :24:54.jump on. There's no doubt attendances this weekend will have
:24:54. > :24:57.been boosted by last summer's success. When we went up to the
:24:57. > :25:02.Olympic Park, seeing the smiles on the faces of the kids, they were
:25:02. > :25:07.loving it. You can't buy that, you can't create that in a classroom,
:25:07. > :25:12.the NHS can't deliver that sort of medicine. That, for me, was very
:25:12. > :25:17.special. It didn't really hit me properly until the parade in
:25:17. > :25:20.London, where so many of the placards just said thank you.
:25:20. > :25:24.seems very likely there will be more British success to cheer over the
:25:24. > :25:28.next couple of days. Plenty of top-class sporting action this
:25:28. > :25:31.weekend. Kent and Sussex cricketers are in action, the show-jumping at
:25:32. > :25:41.Hickstead and the football. Take your pick. We need some decent
:25:41. > :25:48.yesterday. Yesterday turned out to be the warmest day in August we've
:25:48. > :25:53.had since 2003. Today we managed to reach the mid-20s. Canterbury got up
:25:53. > :25:58.to 26 Celsius. On the flip side, Brighton struggled to get to 22. A
:25:58. > :26:02.bit of a south-westerly breeze around today as well. That continues
:26:02. > :26:06.through the weekend. It gets quite a bit stronger tomorrow. It will be
:26:06. > :26:11.cooler over the weekend but the main picture will be sunshine and showers
:26:11. > :26:15.will stop tonight, we've got a fair amount of showers left in clusters.
:26:15. > :26:18.Not all of us will see those. There should be some sunny spells all the
:26:18. > :26:26.way through this evening. Temperatures down to about 15 or 16
:26:26. > :26:29.tonight. Somewhat cooler than last night. In the middle of the night
:26:29. > :26:33.those showers will clear away and we are left with some remnants of
:26:33. > :26:37.cloud. Tomorrow we have further bands of showers moving in through
:26:37. > :26:41.the morning. Again, not all of us will have those. There's a fair
:26:41. > :26:45.amount of sunshine around tomorrow, so it could be quite pleasant. The
:26:45. > :26:52.showers move off in the afternoon, leaving us with a pleasant
:26:52. > :26:56.afternoon. Temperatures only just reaching the low 20s. The
:26:56. > :27:00.south-westerly breeze really picks up tomorrow. We're looking at the
:27:00. > :27:04.breezy day along the Dover Straits. Tomorrow night we've got a fair
:27:04. > :27:10.amount of cloud through the night, but it should be largely dry. Cooler
:27:10. > :27:15.again, temperatures down to 14 or 15. Sunday, it should remain largely
:27:15. > :27:19.dry. Monday, we've got quite a wet day ahead, some rather heavy rain is
:27:19. > :27:24.on the cards. It should start to clear from the south-west. Tuesday,
