I'm Rob Smith. And I'm Bryony MacKenzie. Tonight's | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
top stories: A school sends the wrong six—year—old pupil to the | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
doctor's with another child's grandfather — an investigation has | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
begun. We're live outside the school in | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Gillingham tonight. Firefighters are still being put at | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
unnecessary risk. Unions say lessons have not been learned, despite the | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
deaths of two officers at a fireworks factory. We feel there are | :00:32. | :00:38. | |
still weaknesses. They have not improved. | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
Also in tonight's programme: You will get the money when I have got | :00:45. | :00:51. | |
the money. Either way, you will pay. 20 months jail for the loan shark | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
caught preying on single mums in Kent using threats and intimidation. | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
Going home for the first time in her life — the little girl whose | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
condition means she could die every time she falls asleep. | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
And sketching from nature — the rarely—seen landscapes of Turner and | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
Constable go on show side—by—side. Good evening. An urgent | :01:06. | :01:25. | |
investigation into safety has been launched at a Kent primary school | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
after staff handed over the wrong child to another pupil's grandfather | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
for a medical appointment. The pensioner took the six—year—old | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
girl from the Napier Community Primary in Gillingham to the | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
doctor's and back again, not realising the child wasn't his | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
granddaughter. Our social affairs correspondent Yvette Austin is at | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
the school. Extraordinary situation, Yvette. They're now reviewing their | :01:44. | :01:54. | |
child safety procedures there. In a word, yes. This came to light when | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
the child who was wrongly taken out of school went home and showed her | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
parents a bottle of liquid paracetamol. The name on the bottle | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
was not hers. Home time today and the school was making doubly sure | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
all of the children were leaving with the right adults. A gaping hole | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
in its safeguarding policy revealed when on juice take a grandfather | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
picked up a child he thought was his granddaughter —— when on Tuesday. | :02:24. | :02:32. | |
They had the same name but it was ridiculous and the grandfather not | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
to notice... A bit weird. Surely the grandfather would now through his | :02:36. | :02:44. | |
own grandchild was? It is worrying but you just hope it is not your | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
child. I do not want to put the school down because it is a good | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
school. I understand from my granddaughter's mother that | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
grandparents now have to have a note of permission to take to the school | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
to make sure they are the right person. The grandfather took the six | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
—year—old child from the primary school. She travelled with him by | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
bus to the GP practice a mile away where she was prescribed liquid | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
paracetamol. She was then returned to the primary school. When the | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
mistake was revealed, the school launched an enquiry. It is a serious | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
incident and we have to ensure nothing like this happens again. It | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
raises the whole issue about the procedure when children are left out | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
of school. The school has now e—mailed parents saying letters are | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
required from them to authorise anyone else to pick up their | :03:38. | :03:45. | |
children. Experts wonder why a system like this was not in place. | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
Schools have strict agreements with parents and carers about who should | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
pick up children and young children from schools so it is puzzling. In a | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
statement, the headteacher said safeguarding procedures are being | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
reviewed to ensure it does not happen again. This begs the question | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
as to how the grandfather did not realise he was with the wrong child. | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
I understand the school did ask the child whether the man was her | :04:16. | :04:28. | |
grandfather and she said, yes. He does have poor eyesight. It does | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
also present the question as to how she ended up being prescribed liquid | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
paracetamol. What she will? That will be the subject of an NHS | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
enquiry. Extraordinary story. —— was she | :04:36. | :04:54. | |
ill? Firefighters in East Sussex are | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
still being put at unnecessary risk because of a lack of training and | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
resources, their union has claimed. The Fire Brigades Union says East | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
Sussex Fire and Rescue Service has not made progress in protecting | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
front line officers, despite the deaths of two firefighters in an | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
explosion at a fireworks factory almost seven years ago. Geoff Wicker | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
and Brian Wembridge died at Marlie Farm near Lewes in 2006. The fire | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
and rescue service is adamant tonight that lessons have been | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
learned. Juliette Parkin reports. This is the last footage they | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
retired firefighter took. He arrived at Marlie Farm as they cameraman. He | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
died not long after unfolding disaster in a massive | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
explosion. A retained firefighter also died. Today the Fire Brigades | :05:28. | :05:35. | |
Union says lives are still being put at risk. The judge was clear on the | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
areas that the Fire and rescue service fails on. They failed on | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
planning, they failed on training and execution of the incident. They | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
failed an evacuation. All of these areas, we feel there are still | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
weaknesses. They have not improved and moved on. Firefighters were | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
called to the blaze at Marlie Farm in December, 2006. Three years on, | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
the owners of the fireworks factory were jailed for the manslaughter of | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
the Fire officers. Earlier this year, their families successfully | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
fought for compensation. A High Court judge heard of failures in the | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
evacuation process and they lack of training and equipment. —— lack of. | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
The fire service are adamant lessons have been learned and say concerns | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
are not being expressed by front line officers. If I go to fire | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
stations, and I have visits and talk to staff, they are not raising those | :06:35. | :06:42. | |
concerns. We have breathing apparatus training, road accident | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
training, over recent years, we have invested in training because it is a | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
demanding and challenging role. It is not in my interest to try to do | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
anything other than the best for my firefighters. Insurers for the Fire | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
servers have begun an appeal process against paying on the station. Many | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
in the community feel it is time to draw a line under events. It has | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
gone on for seven years. That has caused uncertainty and for the | :07:11. | :07:18. | |
families it means closure has not been reached. The fire service say | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
they will never forget what happened and union says it should always mind | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
them of the need to their own. —— always remind them. | :07:26. | :07:38. | |
In a moment, Paris Brown's recruitment as Kent Police Youth | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
Commissioner was robust, transparent and well run says an independent | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
review. So why did it all go wrong? A loan shark who preyed on | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
vulnerable single mothers in North Kent has been jailed for 20 months | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
for illegal lending, money laundering and perverting the course | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
of justice. Julian Douglas was collecting loans worth £115,000 at | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
extortionate rates of interest when he was arrested in May. It follows | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
an undercover investigation on this programme in which we exposed the | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
threats and intimidation he subjected his clients to. Jon Hunt | :08:05. | :08:17. | |
has the details. This is Julian Douglas formed by BBC | :08:17. | :08:26. | |
South East Today in 2008. When the journalist repeatedly defaulted on | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
his loan, Douglas came knocking. Following our investigation, the | :08:28. | :08:46. | |
Office of Fair Trading investigated the loan shark. The Crown Court | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
heard today that he stopped trading in 2009 and Julian Douglas picked up | :08:50. | :08:58. | |
the business. He had 24 clients, many of them single—parent mothers | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
living in north Kent. The typical loan was £1000 of which they would | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
have to pay back double. I think people do not know where to turn. | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
They feel alone. Often they are too embarrassed or ashamed because they | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
think people will judge them and think it was a daft thing to do. | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
Really, somewhere like the Citizens Advice Bureau, we have seen it all | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
before. Douglas was arrested in May and pleaded guilty. He has been | :09:26. | :09:33. | |
jailed for 20 months. The recorder of Croydon told Douglas he had been | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
engaged in this shabby and insidious trade of a loan shark, profiting | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
from these straightened and vulnerable members of this society. | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
People he said who had barely two pennies to rub together. He | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
described the amounts repayable on these loans as mind—boggling. But he | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
gave Douglas a third off his sentence because of his early guilty | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
plea. There was no evidence that Douglas was ever intimidated or | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
threatening but the judge said his clients were often caught in | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
spiralling debt that they had no chance of escaping from. | :10:07. | :10:18. | |
A Kent —based soldier shot in Afghan who went on to carry on hand to hand | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
combat has been awarded the Military Cross. The man from the Royal Gurkha | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
Rifles has been recognised for his courage after the attack on the | :10:29. | :10:36. | |
patrol base. He is one of over 100 service personnel included in the | :10:36. | :10:45. | |
latest honours list. A gardener from East Grinstead who | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
raped a woman at a cemetery in the town has been jailed for 15 years. | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
27—year—old Tyrone Carr attacked the woman at the Mount Noddy Cemetery | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
June. An independent review into the way | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
Kent's first Police and Crime Youth Commissioner was recruited has | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
concluded that the process was robust, transparent and well run. | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
Paris Brown was appointed in April by the county's Police and Crime | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
Commissioner Ann Barnes. But within days, Kent Police launched an | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
investigation into racist and homophobic comments she'd posted on | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
Twitter before taking up the post. And after just a week in the job, | :11:11. | :11:18. | |
the Sheerness teenager stood down. I think it is a very limited report in | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
the sense that it says the process by which Paris Brown was appointed | :11:22. | :11:29. | |
was entirely sensible and robust. It is possible for a process to be | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
sensible and still to lead to a foolish decision. When that | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
happens, one has to ask about the judgement of the human beings | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
involved. Our home affairs correspondent Colin | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
Campbell joins us in the studio. Colin, MPs described the whole | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
affair as a fiasco and an example of maverick decision—making. And yet | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
this report says the recruitment process was good. It does. The | :11:47. | :11:54. | |
report was however commissioned by the police and crime commission of | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
herself. It was completed by the University of Central Lancashire and | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
it continues the selection process was robust, transparent and very | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
well—designed and well—run and exceeded the high standards expected | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
of any public body. The appointment of Paris Brown and the discovery | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
subsequently of the comments she had made on social networking sites was | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
a huge story and it prompted some criticism of and Barnes for failings | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
in the way the teenager was vetted for the role. This report does | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
appear to vindicate the commission of any wrongdoings. | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
No—one checked Paris Brown's use of social media before she was | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
appointed. Will that change for future recruitment? The vetting | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
process was undertaken by the police and not the Commissioner's office. | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
But Kent police do not carry out routine social media checks on | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
applicants. The Commissioner has said that she did not ask for social | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
network vetting to be done and be forced. —— and the force did not | :12:55. | :13:05. | |
advise it should be done. She takes full responsibility for it. Will | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
there be advanced checks in the future? I think that will be the | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
case. A man charged with the murder of his | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
baby daughter has been remanded in custody at Lewes Crown Court. | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
27—year—old Mark Sandland from Hastings is accused of killing baby | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
Aimee—Rose who was just six weeks old when she died. John Young | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
reports. Arriving for the legal process to | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
begin in earnest. Today was always going to be about the logistics of | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
the case against Mark Sandland, not the facts of the case . What is | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
known is that his infant daughter was injured in an incident on the | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
5th of November last year. She died four days later in hospital. Her | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
father was arrested two days after that. At an earlier hearing, Mark | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
Sandland gave his address as a flat above this pub in Hastings. The | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
incident itself took place at his former home in Saint Leonards. The | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
hearing lasted about 20 minutes. There was no application for bail. | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
It was about setting a timetable. Mark Sandland was told he must | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
return to the court on the 10th of January. If he denies the charges, | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
the trial will begin at the end of April. | :14:16. | :14:24. | |
This is our top story tonight: An urgent safety investigation has been | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
launched at a Gillingham primary school after staff handed over the | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
wrong child to another pupil's grandfather for a medical | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
appointment. The pensioner took the six—year—old girl from the Napier | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
Community Primary to the doctor's and back again without realising the | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
child wasn't his granddaughter. Also in tonight's programme: Turner | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
and Constable — our two greatest landscape artists side—by—side in | :14:44. | :14:55. | |
Kent. Just in time for the weekend, we | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
have some dry and settled weather. Join me later for the forecast. | :15:01. | :15:13. | |
A new wave of immigrants settling in Kent could cost the county council | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
millions of pounds a year according to a new report. Kent County Council | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
predicts that over 8,500 Bulgarians and Romanians could come to Kent | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
over the next five to ten years, once restrictions on where they can | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
live and work are lifted on first January. It estimates annual costs | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
of £3.1 million because of the extra demand on local services, with | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
health costs accounting for more than half of that sum. But | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
nationally, it's predicted that immigrants from the two countries | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
could generate £70 million a year through work and paying taxes. Kent | :15:39. | :15:51. | |
is having to content with a 1% growth every year in its population. | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
We are now going to have potentially an increase in the number of | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
Romanians and Bulgarians choosing to come to the country. There is not a | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
lot we can do. The government promised some regulation which is | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
not going to come in in time. The new report predicts there'll be | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
particular pressure on county council departments such as | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
education and social services. It predicts nearly 400 new primary age | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
children coming into Kent, creating the need to provide more school | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
places. And the authority will prepare for greater demand on child | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
protection and translation services in the county. We have already got | :16:26. | :16:33. | |
too much youth unemployment. We have already got the wages of many | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
skilled people driven down. Pressure on primary schools. Problems with | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
waiting times that the emergency departments. It does not make sense | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
to have another big influx into Kent. Our political editor is in | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
Dover. These figures have come from the county council but ministers say | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
they do not know how many people will come to Britain. The government | :16:55. | :17:02. | |
has refused to put a figure on it. They cannot give credible numbers | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
for how many may come in and decide to settle here. Kent county council | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
say they need the figures in able to provide the services. One of the | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
concerns is that although many of the migrants will be of working age | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
and paying taxes, that will benefit the economy nationally and not | :17:21. | :17:28. | |
locally. The government say they are looking very closely at what it is | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
that is attracting migrants from places like Bulgaria and Romania to | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
come and settle here in the south—east. | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
The new report and the potential impact of new immigration in Kent | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
will be formally discussed at a Kent County Council meeting in ten days' | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
time. A two—year—old from Kent who suffers | :17:43. | :18:02. | |
from a rare disorder that means she's in danger of stopping | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
breathing every time she falls asleep is preparing to go home from | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
hospital for the first time in her life. Maisie Harris has been on a | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
ventilator at Great Ormond Street in London ever since she was born. But | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
after years travelling up and down from Gillingham to visit her, her | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
parents are finally preparing to bring her home. Fiona Irving | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
details. As she plays with her lead though, you can hear in the | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
background the reassuring kiss of the ventilator —— with her toys. | :18:25. | :18:32. | |
Just weeks away from turning three, she is heading home. For the first | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
time in her life. We are excited and happy. We never thought it would | :18:38. | :18:45. | |
happen. We thought it was a bad situation. You have just got to | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
believe in yourself. She suffers from a genetic disorder. It is a | :18:50. | :18:58. | |
rare form of central nervous system failure where the brain does not | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
send the right messages to her lungs to tell her to breathe. Her | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
condition is complicated by the fact she also has an air race disease | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
meaning that her respiratory tracts do not hold their shape properly. As | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
she gets older, she copes better. She is bigger. It is a lot of | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
waiting. She has to grow so that her lungs get bigger and her airways get | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
stronger. Hopefully over time she will need less ventilation and we | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
can start taking it away from her. As she was so small, she needed more | :19:32. | :19:40. | |
help. When Maisie was one, doctors were concerned she would never go | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
home. Advances in technology, that means that her respirator is easier | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
to manage. The batteries last six hours. She can always go out and be | :19:50. | :20:01. | |
on this. The other ones were not as good and mobile as this one. Today | :20:01. | :20:08. | |
the nurses threw a party for her, a celebration of the start of her new | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
life. What will it mean for you? We can be a family. Maisie will be | :20:14. | :20:22. | |
discharged on Monday. Amazing. | :20:22. | :20:39. | |
Behind every tale of sporting success there is someone who did a | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
lot of the hard work but received very few of the plaudits. We're | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
talking about Sports Unsung Heroes — the coaches and groundkeepers who | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
make our clubs tick. In a moment we'll let you know how you can make | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
a nomination South East Sports Unsung Hero. But first, Kent's | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
former GB and Olympic hockey star Mel Clewlow has been telling Neil | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
Bell about her unsung hero. He has travelled the world playing hockey | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
for Great Britain and has appeared in Olympic and Commonwealth Games | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
and is still a regular in the team which currently heads the top | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
league. She admits much of her success is down to the many | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
volunteers who dedicate much of their spare time to doing almost | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
anything. She is one of the infamous dinner ladies on a Saturday, 830 in | :21:20. | :21:30. | |
the morning, they make the hot food and the sandwiches. Back again on | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
Sunday morning for the hockey when you have 200 juniors here. All of | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
them are voluntary. That is probably one of the reasons why the hockey | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
club has been so successful. A player, official and now sandwich | :21:45. | :21:54. | |
maker. I have great pride in the club. We have come a long way from | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
when we first started on the grass pitch with one team. I get an | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
enormous sense of pride when they come back and say they have won. Why | :22:04. | :22:11. | |
do I do it? I enjoy it. And I like to give something back to the sport | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
that gave me so much enjoyment over the years. The success of the club | :22:15. | :22:22. | |
's owes much to the skill of those involved but also the selfless hard | :22:22. | :22:29. | |
work of those behind the scenes. If you want to nominate a sporting | :22:29. | :22:33. | |

The deadline for entries is the 16th of October. | :22:47. | :22:58. | |
Onto football, and Brighton and Hove Albion's star striker Leo Ulloa has | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
been ruled out until December, after undergoing surgery for a broken | :23:01. | :23:09. | |
foot. The 27—year—old, who's scored four goals in eight games this | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
season, has had a metal screw inserted in his foot. | :23:12. | :23:30. | |
When it comes to painters, they are household names. Constable, Turner | :23:30. | :23:40. | |
and others. Landscapes by the famous trio form the backbone of a new | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
exhibition in Margate. But there is a modern twist. It opens to the | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
public tomorrow. We have been along for a preview. | :23:49. | :24:04. | |
It is an exhibition of Turner and his contemporaries. They were | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
radical in their day. In a post—French Revolution period, | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
painting a pub in a picture was seen as a powerhouse of the people, a | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
risk but one that Turner was prepared to take. A working—class | :24:17. | :24:26. | |
bloke trying to make his way in an aristocratic world, he has slipped | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
something in that has a bit of an edge to it. This is even more | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
radical. This is extraordinary. Other European artists painted | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
skies, but they did it later. None of them did it with the degree of | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
scientific observation. Abstract art from Constable Chris Patten how does | :24:46. | :24:54. | |
a hell Marge to a whole host of —— abstract art from Constable? It is | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
what my landscape is. If I was a painter, maybe I would paint it. | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
What I do is I take these things and I reassemble them in a way and then | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
I create these are the landscapes within the gallery that you might | :25:10. | :25:19. | |
encounter things on a beach. When it comes to the audio guide, there is | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
not one. It is classical music. In the guidebook, there is very little | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
information. It is deliberate. The gallery once you to think for | :25:28. | :25:37. | |
yourself. —— wants. We have tried to encourage people to come and look | :25:37. | :25:45. | |
and use their eyes. There is some information but there is not perhaps | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
as much information as for some of our exhibitions. The concept is | :25:49. | :25:58. | |
being free from an information overload allowing you to focus and | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
feast your eyes on the art. Time now for a look at the weather. | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
Is it going to be a for the weekend. High—pressure | :26:06. | :26:20. | |
building. Warm unsettled. The temperature is above average for the | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
time of year —— warm and settled. Hefty downpours earlier. | :26:25. | :26:32. | |
Temperatures holding up. South—westerly breeze is. Mild but | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
breezy. 15 to 20 miles an hour. They will ease off. Some mist and dense | :26:38. | :26:45. | |
fog as we start the day tomorrow. Several degrees down on last night. | :26:45. | :26:53. | |
Staying in double figures though. It will feel cooler tomorrow but high | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
pressure will build. Mist and fog will be burnt away. Sunshine by the | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
afternoon. Temperatures and little bit down on today. But feeling | :27:03. | :27:12. | |
warmer. The winds have really eased off. They settled and warm | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
afternoon. Tomorrow night, more of the same. Staying dry. Missed and | :27:15. | :27:23. | |
dense fog patches forming. Overnight temperatures of ten or 11 degrees. A | :27:23. | :27:30. | |
cool start to Sunday. We will stay settled. Rain to the north of us. | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
Into the new week, the good news is that the area of high pressure will | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
be staying. A settled start to Monday. Temperatures above average | :27:38. | :27:43. | |
for the time of year. As we go into Tuesday, it is looking to be | :27:43. | :27:48. | |
settled. It will feel fresher and the chance of rain midweek. Over the | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
next couple of days, looking pretty lovely. Temperatures in the top | :27:52. | :27:58. | |
teams. It is likely to be brighter on Sunday —— top teams. A lovely | :27:58. | :28:05. | |
weekend. That is just the news we need. | :28:05. | :28:15. |
