Welcome to South East Today, I'm Bryony MacKenzie. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
And I'm John Young. Tonight's top stories: Remembering Dylan, lost at | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
sea off Sussex. And flowers for Bethany, killed as she slept in | :00:14. | :00:21. | |
Kent. The human cost of the storm. Bethany Freeman will never be | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
forgotten. She contributed so much to this community. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
We're live from Edenbridge this evening. | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
Still without power after the storm. Some homes may have to wait till the | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
end of the week. Also in tonight's programme: Friend | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
or foe? Why nature experts are now encouraging us to embrace the urban | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
fox. Stitching the conscience into her | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
collection ` designer Zandra Rhodes on her campaign to promote ethical | :00:45. | :00:45. | |
fashion. Instantly recognisable, but he only | :00:46. | :00:59. | |
got paid ?12 for it. We speak to the man who wrote the bass line for one | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
of Lou Reed's most famous songs. Good evening. In both Kent and | :01:03. | :01:16. | |
Sussex today, young people have been remembering two friends they have | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
lost. Around 50 young people gathered on Newhaven Beach this | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
afternoon in a vigil to remember Dylan Alkins, the 14`year`old boy | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
swept out to sea on Sunday and now presumed dead. Balloons were | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
released and flowers thrown into the sea. | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
In Kent, more than 7,000 people joined a Facebook page in tribute to | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
17`year`old Bethany Freeman, who was killed when a tree fell on the | :01:37. | :01:46. | |
caravan she was sleeping in. Her mother said that the family was | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
absolutely devastated. Jon Hunt has our report. | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
Friends saying schoolboy taken by the waves. Dylan | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
Alkins is missing presumed dead after being swept out to sea. On the | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
spot on the beach where he disappeared, his classmates and | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
teaching staff were trying to come to terms with what had happened. He | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
was a good mate to me. Like a brother. He would come round my | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
house, we would play fight. An amazing boy, so full of character. | :02:26. | :02:35. | |
Devastated. It is so emotional. I am glad everyone has come together to | :02:36. | :02:43. | |
do him proud. His friend was with Dylan just 30 minutes before the | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
tragedy. I heard on the news that he was swept out by a wave. But as I | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
thought about it, it broke my heart. Young Dylan was lost in rough seas | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
as the weekend storm approached. In spite of searches at sea and on | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
local beaches today, the teenager has not been found. The storm also | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
took another young life from the south`east, 17`year`old Bethany | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
Freeman died when a tree fell on the static caravan she was sleeping in. | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
At her school in Tunbridge Wells today, they described her as a | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
dedicated and committed student. She was such a wonderful girl, so | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
generous with her time. She would look after other girls in the | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
community struggling with work or friendships. She just... There are | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
no words to sum her rap. She was an outstanding pupil in every way. `` | :03:43. | :03:51. | |
some her up. She helped out the PE department and helped younger | :03:52. | :03:59. | |
pupils. Her friends paid tribute on Facebook. She was the biggest | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
hearted person I have the pleasure of calling my friend. So loved by | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
everyone around her and so followed with easy as for all she did. Urine | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
always willing to help out with anything, no matter what it was. Her | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
mother thanked the emergency services for their efforts in | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
attempting to save her. This evening, flowers have been laid | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
at Edenbridge Hockey Club where Bethany Freeman played. Jon Hunt | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
joins us from there now. Jon, sport was her biggest passion. | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
Yes, she was not just into hockey, she was into cricket, netball and | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
athletics as well. Here at the hockey pitch where they are training | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
tonight, they have been laying tributes to her. This says, you will | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
be sorely missed on and off the pitch. Another one, I know you will | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
be giving them what for up there. Tonight is the first time the club | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
has got together since this tragedy on Monday and I'm joined by some | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
members of the team. You are all getting together, she really touched | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
everyone, she was very popular. Yes. Especially with the hockey | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
club. She helped the youngsters along. Marvellous girl. Tell me | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
about her character. Could be feisty, competitive. I love that. It | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
is great. It is how you should be. And she coached a lot of the young | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
ones. Encouragement, coaching. We have got a couple of 15`year`olds | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
and she is marvellous with them. They both put tributes on Facebook. | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
Sophie, you remember her for the journeys to away games. She would | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
come up with silly stories in the car and it would all be fun, | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
laughing, singing along to the radio. Always a good time. Very | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
sorely missed. You must have been heartbroken to hear the news. We all | :06:01. | :06:08. | |
were. It will not be the same. I wish you all very well. She would | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
have wanted you to play hard so I know you will... I wish you well in | :06:13. | :06:23. | |
dealing with this. I know the team will be playing this weekend and | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
they will be wearing black armbands and probably there will be a | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
minute's silence for Bethany as well. | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
36 hours after yesterday morning's storm, several thousand homes are | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
still without power tonight with the problems stretching across our | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
region. This evening, the company in charge | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
of fixing the power said that the vast majority of homes have been | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
reconnected, but admitted that some may have to wait until the end of | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
the week. Mark Sanders has our report. | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
This is the front line in the fight to get the lights back on. The power | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
line was brought down by a beech tree during the storm. It is one of | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
many that buckled to the elements. There was a power line running from | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
one side of the garden to the other which is pinned under all of this | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
tree. The tree surgeon is unable to do anything until such times as the | :07:11. | :07:19. | |
power people come and turn the electricity off so that he can clear | :07:20. | :07:29. | |
the rubble. It is back to basics at this home near upfield. He has been | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
without power since early yesterday. I expected it to come | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
back yesterday afternoon. We have the wood burner and a gas hob. Nine | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
times are bit boring. Just candles. No TV or anything like that. `` | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
night times. Hundreds of pounds worth of food is going to waste in | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
the freezer. All of the meat has been ruined. ?300 worth of pork. | :07:59. | :08:13. | |
40,000 homes were left without power. The UK power network says | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
that around 7000 homes remain without power and it is working as | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
fast as possible to restore it. The energy company has received 157,000 | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
calls to its helpline from people in the south`east and east of England. | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
We have teams working day and night to restore supplies as quickly as | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
possible. We expect a large chunk of the supplies to be restored today. | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
They are the most difficult challenging ones where we have lines | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
down and polls broken. The main aim is to repair the lines and polls and | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
get the power back on as quickly as possible. They say they have six | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
times the usual number of engineers on duty, like these dealing with a | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
blackout yesterday. But there will be households in the southeastern | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
night that are likely to remain left in the dark. `` in the South East | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
tonight. Accused of forcing women migrants to | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
work as prostitutes. trafficking trial gets under way in | :09:19. | :09:28. | |
Hove. A councillor from Thanet claims he's | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
been spied on by the police for two years because he's campaigned | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
against live animal exports. Ian Driver has obtained records kept | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
about him by the Metropolitan Police. | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
He's told this programme he believes the information comes from a | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
national extremism database and he's described the monitoring as a crazy | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
waste of money. Simon Jones reports. Suspecting police were taking | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
pictures of him and his car at protests, he asked what information | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
they were holding on him. 22 entries believed to be fully domestic | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
extremism database. `` to be from the domestic extremism database. It | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
felt like someone had got hold of my life and there was someone watching | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
me. A weird feeling. Until I got this document, I did not believe | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
things like this happen. He has been a leading protester in the fight | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
against live animal exports. The database notes he calls himself | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
provocative. It records he set up a Facebook page which has led to him | :10:29. | :10:36. | |
being contacted by animal rights protesters. He wants to know how | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
much it has cost police to monitor his activities relating to the port | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
at a time when police budgets are being squeezed. We want the small | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
amount of re`forces that police forces around the country have to be | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
used properly, to target people that are threat `` the small amount of | :10:55. | :11:03. | |
money that police forces around the country have. The Met Police says | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
collating evidence is vital for preserving order. The majority of | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
protesters are peaceful, extremists engaged in crime and disorder to | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
further their campaign and try to mask their activities by associating | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
with legitimate campaigners. The police have a duty to protect the | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
public and I believe these databases are essential to make sure that we | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
get a wider picture when investigating crime or potential | :11:32. | :11:39. | |
incidents where the public need protecting. Are you an extremist? I | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
have been called a lot of things in my time but never an extremist. The | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
police say it is about allowing everyone to campaign peacefully. | :11:49. | :11:59. | |
Police investigating the murder of a grandmother in Chatham are trying to | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
track down the drivers of seven different vehicles captured on CCTV | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
in the area on the day she disappeared. Harjit Chaggar was last | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
seen alive on Monday, second September, in the area of Magpie | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
Hall Road in the town. The vehicles were all on the road at 4pm on that | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
day. Three men have been charged with her murder. | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
It's emerged that the failed ferry company Transeuropa which operated | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
out of Ramsgate had run up debts of more than ?18 million, far more than | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
originally thought. The Belgian firm went into administration in May, | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
leaving Thanet District Council with a bill of over ?3 million and owing | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
Ostend Port ?2.4 million. It's now been discovered Transeuropa also | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
owed its fuel supplier ?12.5 million. | :12:35. | :12:43. | |
The jury has been sworn at Hove Crown Court for the start of a human | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
trafficking trial that's due to last up to eight weeks. Mate Puskas, | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
Victoria Brown, Zoltan Mohacsi and Peter and Istvan Toth are alleged to | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
have trafficked women into the UK to work as prostitutes. Rebecca | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
Williams has been in court and joins us now. Rebecca, what more was said | :12:57. | :13:04. | |
there this afternoon? As you say, this is a trial about alleged | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
trafficking and prostitution. There are five defendants in this case, | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
two of those happen to be brothers and will be tried in their absence | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
but they will still get legal representation. The judge told the | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
jury not to speculate as to why they will not be in court, but instead to | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
try all of the defendants on the evidence they hear. All five | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
defendants are charged with trafficking women into the UK for | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
sexual exploitation and trafficking women within the UK for sexual | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
exploitation. All five deny the charges and tomorrow the prosecution | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
will set out its case first thing in the morning. Thank you very much. | :13:47. | :13:54. | |
The image of foxes in towns and cities has taken a bit of a | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
battering recently, following some high`profile stories of foxes being | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
found in houses, some even attacking small children. | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
But animal experts at the University of Brighton are hoping to show how | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
foxes can co`exist with us in built up areas and in a unique experiment | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
have been tracking two families of foxes in the city. Ian Palmer | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
reports. An audacious wild animal. Depending on your viewpoint, it is | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
either a fantastic creature or a cunning predator. How much do we | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
know about them? A collaboration between the BBC and Brighton | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
University aims to extend our knowledge. One Fox family is from a | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
suburban area and the other Fox family is from an inner`city area | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
which has a lot more challenges to the foxes. We are hoping to compare | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
and contrast the behaviour of the fox families and follow them through | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
the autumn into the winter and spring and see what happens to them. | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
This is the first time this state tracking technology has been used on | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
any British animal. The fate of this study will depend on this tracking | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
technology. The autumn is a crucial time for the creatures creatures | :15:05. | :15:06. | |
with carbs eager to leave the pack and create a group of their own. `` | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
with Cubs. Not everyone likes the fox. This mother in London described | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
how a fox attacked her twin daughters while sleeping in an | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
upstairs bedroom. 11 years ago, a newborn was allegedly attacked. | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
Scientists say such attacks are. If a foxes being fed in a garden, it is | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
more likely to be there. Foxes should not be in courage to close to | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
houses and foxes should not be in courage by hand feeding. The word | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
fox brought a mixed reaction in Chatham. I have never found a | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
nuisance. You hear the noise is. Children do not understand but you | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
explain it is a fox and it is fine. In a group, they are troublemakers. | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
On the own, they are OK. They are quite pretty to see. I have had them | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
come in my house. They come down the garden during the day. The study | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
will follow the families into the New Year. It is hoped the project | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
could reveal how man and the little red beast are currently cohabiting | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
in our towns and cities. Peter Whittlesea has been following | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
this story and joins us from Chatham now. Peter, not everyone finds foxes | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
appealing, do they? Many people like seeing them but others find them a | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
nuisance and are worried about them attacking pets especially if they | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
keep chickens, rabbits or guinea pigs. The noise is one common | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
complaint. The fact some of them dig up gardens. And also they will stop | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
at nothing to break into rubbish bins. Pest control officers in Kent | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
has said in recent years they have had an increasing number of people | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
who are trying to seek a humane solution to fox problems. | :16:57. | :17:03. | |
We want to know what you think. Do you see urban foxes as a menace or a | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
welcome part of our towns and cities? You can email us or join the | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
debate on our Facebook page or you can tweet us. | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
And you can see more about the urban fox on Autumnwatch. The new series | :17:17. | :17:27. | |
starts tonight at 8pm on BBC Two. This is the top story: Around 50 | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
young people have gathered on Newhaven beach individual to | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
remember Dylan Alkins, the 14`year`old boy swept out to sea on | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
Sunday and presumed dead. In Kent, 7000 people joined a Facebook page | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
in tribute to the 17`year`old Bethany Freeman killed when a tree | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
fell on the caravan she was sleeping in. # Take a walk on the wild side. | :17:52. | :18:03. | |
Also in tonight's programme: One of the most memorable bass lines in | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
rock ` we speak to the Sussex musician who penned Lou Reed's hit. | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
Today has been much calmer. Tonight, clear skies and it is chilly. Join | :18:10. | :18:24. | |
me later for the forecasts. With her trademark pink hair and | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
just as brightly`coloured clothes, the fashion designer Zandra Rhodes | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
who was born in Dartford isn't easily ignored. Now she's using her | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
high profile to champion ethical fashion. She's been to India to | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
visit the people who grow and stitch the cotton used in her latest | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
collection. She spoke to our reporter Sara Smith. | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
It is a long way from the studio where most of her collections are | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
made. After an invitation from an ethical fashion pioneer, Zandra | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
Rhodes agreed to create a new line of clothing to show you can | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
manufacture overseas in a fair, safe and sustainable condition. To go to | :18:58. | :19:05. | |
India and actually see the cotton plants, see how the farmers were | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
advised on seeds and everything like that and realise how small and hand | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
to mouth it is and that the farmers need to be helped in the sense that | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
they help them build wells and schools for their children. The new | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
collection could not be more timely. In April, more than 1000 people died | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
when a clothing factory in Bangladesh collapsed. Conditions | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
there had been a `` had been appalling, making cheap throwaway | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
fashion for a Western market. The fashion Museum next door to Zandra | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
Rhodes's London studio, they monitor the consumption of our clothes. | :19:50. | :19:56. | |
People want cheap fashion. The people are also interested in | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
planning purchasing, where it is coming from and the story behind it. | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
The collection with People Tree maybe just eight gesture, but Zandra | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
Rhodes says ays it I Rho | :20:12. | :20:12. | |
Rhodes says it is a gesture worth It's one of those pieces of music | :20:13. | :20:52. | |
that rumbles around in your head and now, there's a new twist on it. Walk | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
On The Wild Side was a huge hit for the American rock singer Lou Reed, | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
who died on Sunday. The Velvet Underground frontman who | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
was from Ditchling in East Sussex died on Sunday at the age of 71. Now | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
Herbie Flowers, the session musician behind that distinctive sound, has | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
been talking to our reporter Chrissie Reidy. | :21:10. | :21:20. | |
# Walk on the wild side. Instantly recognisable, Walk On The Wild Side | :21:21. | :21:27. | |
has the mother of all baselines. It may be about New York, but the | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
musician who created the sound was from leafy Sussex. # Hitchhiked the | :21:32. | :21:40. | |
way across the USA... # David Bowie told me, we have got this guy from | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
the Velvet Underground coming over. As all students chilly studio | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
musicians do, they get to the studio first. Lou Reed was asleep on the | :21:52. | :22:04. | |
bench `` as all studio musicians do. Mick Ronson said it is a bar of C | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
and a bar of letter F and Lou Reed sang some of the lyrics roughly. I | :22:10. | :22:17. | |
played a bar of C and that was it. In the 70s, Herbie Flowers was a | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
jobbing musician. I thought it would be nice to add a base above. I did | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
it in two bits which actually meant I got double money. I did two | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
parts. This is what it would sound like. | :22:36. | :22:46. | |
During the three`hour studio session, he also recorded another | :22:47. | :22:54. | |
classic. # I am glad I spent it with you # Such a perfect day # You just | :22:55. | :23:05. | |
keep me hanging on. I am really proud to have got to work for Lou | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
Reed. Magical. Walk On The Wild Side is still as | :23:08. | :23:24. | |
popular with audiences today. Little did Herbie Flowers know that his | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
unforgettable baseline would become such a legend. | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
I define anyone at home not to be singing that. | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
In my head for the rest of the evening. | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
Well, the clocks have gone back, November's around the corner and | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
that means Children In Need is coming up. | :23:44. | :23:45. | |
And here's one way you can help raise money. And it doesn't involve | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
anything like sitting in a bathtub of baked beans. # We are raising | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
money using macro on November the 13th. # It is for charity. # We are | :23:57. | :24:09. | |
waving our fee # We cannot charge them. We would if we could. We are | :24:10. | :24:19. | |
not allowed to. No, it's not free, but it should be | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
good. A one`off night of comedy and music in aid of Children In Need | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
hosted by Rob at the Trinity Theatre in Tunbridge Wells on Wednesday, | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
13th November. The tickets cost ?13 and ?10 of that goes straight to the | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
charity. You can get your tickets online or by calling the box office | :24:38. | :24:39. | |
on 01892 678 678. A bit of a nip in the air. | :24:40. | :24:50. | |
It is going to be quite a blustery picture into Thursday. Rain at times | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
as well. Earlier today, one or two showers in the morning. Moving | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
through pretty quickly. By the afternoon, clear blue skies. | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
Temperatures rather chilly. These are the sorts of values we expect at | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
this time of year but several degrees down on the sorts of | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
temperatures we have been seeing recently. The winds have eased off. | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
But it has still been a breezy picture. Tonight we will hold onto | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
the clear skies. It will be quite chilly. Temperatures into single | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
figures widely. The winds easing. The clear skies mean a lovely bright | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
start tomorrow. Plenty of sunshine during the morning. From the | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
afternoon, the cloud will thicken from the West with one or two | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
showers around as well and temperatures very similar to today. | :25:43. | :25:50. | |
Highs of around 13 or 14 degrees. The south`westerly breeze is staying | :25:51. | :25:53. | |
pretty light. Tomorrow night, more cloud around and increasingly | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
unsettled. Look at the temperatures. Only dropping to 13 or | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
14 degrees. Many places holding up to daytime values. A wet and mild | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
start to Thursday. The isobars are starting to squeeze. The | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
south`westerly winds pretty brisk. Temperatures not rising too much. It | :26:15. | :26:22. | |
stays rather wet as we go into Friday as well. Temperatures a | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
little bit milder as a result. Rather breezy. Into the weekend, wet | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
and unsettled as well. A bit of a mixed bag. | :26:31. | :26:33. | |
It is October. Back to one of our earlier stories, | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
the debate about urban foxes. The Autumnwatch programme has been | :26:38. | :26:40. | |
looking into the issue and filmed some very revealing pictures and | :26:41. | :26:43. | |
we've been asking you whether you see foxes as a friend or foe. | :26:44. | :26:52. | |
Lots of you getting in touch. Lots of you are friends of the foxes. | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
This is one example. They have as much right to be here as we do. I | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
know people who are more vermin. We keep destroying their habitat to | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
make way for housing, where else are they supposed to go? | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
This is another view. Feeding them makes them dependent. They are wild | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
animals. Treat them as such and give them the respect and distance they | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
deserve. Karen says they have more right to | :27:19. | :27:24. | |
be here. Live in harmony. Against a different view. I have no | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
problem with foxes but the people arise when people feed them. They | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
are wild animals, they should be left to find their own food. | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
Sue says, we are living in their territory, it puts a different | :27:39. | :27:44. | |
perspective on things. Lots of people saying we are inhabiting | :27:45. | :27:47. | |
wherewith they live. We need to get rid of them. Bring | :27:48. | :27:53. | |
back fox hunting is one suggestion. Leave foxes alone! A quick thank you | :27:54. | :28:01. | |
for your comments. The closing headlines: Feeling the heat, the | :28:02. | :28:06. | |
bosses of the top five energy companies face MPs' questions about | :28:07. | :28:12. | |
profits. They blame rising costs for bigger bills. | :28:13. | :28:18. | |
I am back at 10:25pm. Join me then. Good night. | :28:19. | :28:23. |
