:00:00. > :00:07.Welcome to South East Today, I'm Bryony MacKenzie.

:00:08. > :00:10.And I'm John Young. Tonight's top stories.

:00:11. > :00:13.New questions tonight over maternity services in Kent and Sussex, as a

:00:14. > :00:22.birthing unit that's meant to represent the future closes its

:00:23. > :00:26.doors. I had to leave within three hours of having a baby, in the

:00:27. > :00:35.middle of the night. He risked his life infiltrating the

:00:36. > :00:38.IRA. It was pretty startling. We reveal the letter suggesting he's

:00:39. > :00:40.been abandoned by the NHS. Also in tonight's programme: Serving

:00:41. > :00:44.you from 150 miles away. Calls for two local councillors who

:00:45. > :00:49.now live in Lincolnshire to stand down.

:00:50. > :00:52.A royally exciting visitor, the Queen tours parts of Sussex for the

:00:53. > :00:56.first time in six years. We're live in Lewes where the Queen

:00:57. > :00:57.has been today. Madness spreads as their musical

:00:58. > :01:14.comes to a street in Brighton. Good evening.

:01:15. > :01:16.There are fresh questions tonight over maternity service reforms

:01:17. > :01:20.across Sussex and Kent after it's emerged that a birthing centre that

:01:21. > :01:24.NHS bosses championed as the way forward has now been forced to close

:01:25. > :01:27.its doors temporarily. The Crowborough Birthing Unit is used by

:01:28. > :01:31.expectant mothers from both Sussex and West Kent who want to avoid

:01:32. > :01:35.going into hospital. But it may now be closed on and off for some time

:01:36. > :01:43.because the midwives are needed to work in Hastings instead. Claudia

:01:44. > :01:49.Sermbezis has been gauging reaction. He does not have a name yet, but

:01:50. > :01:52.this little boy is six days old and was born at Crowborough in the

:01:53. > :01:58.centre, even though when his mother turned up she was told it was shut.

:01:59. > :02:02.But her labour was too advanced so the midwives helped her to give

:02:03. > :02:05.birth and then told her to leave. After giving birth I had to leave

:02:06. > :02:11.within three hours of having a baby in the middle of the night so it was

:02:12. > :02:16.pretty startling. It was very upsetting. I was expecting to have

:02:17. > :02:23.my baby, recover in a decent time frame and hopefully get are rest

:02:24. > :02:27.before returning home, not in the middle of the night, sort of

:02:28. > :02:32.bewildered really and still in shock of what had happened. Today the

:02:33. > :02:38.centre was unexpectedly closed again at 8am. It will reopen on Monday

:02:39. > :02:43.morning for all services but only for seven days. They're after

:02:44. > :02:47.absolutely nobody seems to know. I had a frantic call last night from

:02:48. > :02:50.someone who is affected and I understand the staff were told at

:02:51. > :02:54.the end of the working day yesterday. They have been offering a

:02:55. > :02:59.superb service and cannot understand why their world has been turned

:03:00. > :03:04.upside down. East Sussex health care NHS Trust says the midwives were

:03:05. > :03:09.needed at the conquest Hospital. The trust say they are short of staff in

:03:10. > :03:14.Hastings partly due to sickness and annual leave. Here in Crowborough,

:03:15. > :03:21.at the birthing centre, on average for women a week have their baby and

:03:22. > :03:24.anyone due to have their baby this weekend has been told to contact

:03:25. > :03:27.their midwife. I appreciate for individual areas and people in

:03:28. > :03:31.particular localities find this distressing because it is their area

:03:32. > :03:34.but we as midwives have to look at the whole service across the whole

:03:35. > :03:41.area and making sure we provide services as safely as we possibly

:03:42. > :03:45.can for each area. Molly was born at the centre and her mum is hoping to

:03:46. > :03:49.go back and have her second in January and is worried it will be

:03:50. > :03:54.closed. Instead of a ten minute journey down the road I will be

:03:55. > :04:02.having a 30 minute journey to either Eastbourne or Haywards Heath, and if

:04:03. > :04:06.any complications arise at Eastbourne I would be in Hastings

:04:07. > :04:12.which is an hour from my family, which is a long way. Next year there

:04:13. > :04:14.will be a public consultation around all the maternity services in East

:04:15. > :04:17.Sussex. A former secret agent who

:04:18. > :04:20.infiltrated the IRA has been told the NHS can no longer treat his

:04:21. > :04:24.deteriorating mental health issues. Raymond Gilmour, who's lived in the

:04:25. > :04:27.South East under a false identity for 30 years, passed on information

:04:28. > :04:33.about IRA military activities in the 1980's, and claims he saved many

:04:34. > :04:37.British lives. NHS Doctors accept he suffers from a

:04:38. > :04:41.wide range of mental health problems, but want MI5 to take

:04:42. > :04:45.responsibility for his care. He says he feels as if he been cast adrift,

:04:46. > :04:53.left in limbo to suffer in silence. Our Special Correspondent Colin

:04:54. > :04:57.Campbell has this exclusive report. A former secret agent who

:04:58. > :05:02.infiltrated the IRA, Raymond Gilmour says he is desperate for health. ``

:05:03. > :05:07.help. I have been brought to my knees. I have nothing left to lose.

:05:08. > :05:11.For many years he fed secret information about paramilitary

:05:12. > :05:15.operations to security services. A supergrass witness, he earned itself

:05:16. > :05:20.a IRA death sentence and is living the rest of his life under a false

:05:21. > :05:25.identity. He now suffers from a wide range of serious mental health

:05:26. > :05:30.problems. I have not had psychiatric help for over a year and a half and

:05:31. > :05:34.the longer I go without help, the worse it gets. For five years he has

:05:35. > :05:38.been under the care of the NHS in the south`east but at the beginning

:05:39. > :05:44.of the month his consultant sent this letter. He says that any

:05:45. > :05:48.involvement with Mr Gilmore would be subject to risk of security

:05:49. > :05:53.exposure. He said a decision has been made to discharge him back into

:05:54. > :05:56.the care of MI5 to guarantee his safety and ensure any issues

:05:57. > :06:04.relating to his confidentiality are strictly year two. I have been cast

:06:05. > :06:08.adrift. There are not many like me in my situation. It is an

:06:09. > :06:16.impossibility to deal with someone like me in the NHS. He has heard

:06:17. > :06:21.nothing from MI5. Given the background of this case, there is a

:06:22. > :06:23.compelling case that he should continue to receive assistance and

:06:24. > :06:28.help for his psychiatric and care needs and I hope that MI5 are

:06:29. > :06:32.listening and they recognise their responsibility. This is an appalling

:06:33. > :06:36.message for people who are prepared to help in the intelligence

:06:37. > :06:40.gathering network. One mental health charity says it reveals a wider

:06:41. > :06:45.problem in the NHS. Many are facing stringent cutbacks and have two

:06:46. > :06:51.ration their treatment. They cannot provide long`term psychotherapy and

:06:52. > :06:58.they cannot safely treat people who may pose a risk. Raymond Gilmour

:06:59. > :07:02.former partner says he needs some help now. He needs someone or a body

:07:03. > :07:09.of people who can understand the past. He needs to talk about the

:07:10. > :07:16.past, which he doesn't and he needs help. Denied mental health care and

:07:17. > :07:23.reliant on medication, Raymond Gilmour says he has been left to

:07:24. > :07:27.suffer in silence. The key question is what has the

:07:28. > :07:31.response been from the authorities? In the last hour the Home Office

:07:32. > :07:37.have told me it has been the policy of successive governments not to

:07:38. > :07:41.comment on intelligence matters. There are a small number of people

:07:42. > :07:46.in the NHS who know about this case but no one has come back to me. His

:07:47. > :07:52.MP, who we cannot name because it would reveal where he lives within

:07:53. > :07:55.the south`east has told me that the issues surrounding his care are

:07:56. > :08:01.being battered back and forth between the NHS and MI5. Thank you

:08:02. > :08:04.very much. In a moment: The wartime leader from

:08:05. > :08:09.Kent remembered on Capitol Hill by the great and the good of

:08:10. > :08:13.Washington. Two married councillors from Kent

:08:14. > :08:17.are being urged to resign after moving to a village more than 150

:08:18. > :08:21.miles from the ward they represent. Alan and Jean Willicombe, the former

:08:22. > :08:23.mayor and mayoress of Swale, say they plan to continue representing

:08:24. > :08:26.their constituents even though they now live in Lincolnshire.

:08:27. > :08:29.Opposition councillors say the couple's position is untenable

:08:30. > :08:32.because they continue to claim individual annual allowances of more

:08:33. > :08:45.than ?4,500 and will be out of touch with the people they are paid to

:08:46. > :08:50.serve. Jon Hunt has more. This is the warlord in

:08:51. > :08:54.Sittingbourne, Kent, now being represented by two counsellors based

:08:55. > :08:59.in Lincolnshire. The decision by Allen and Jean Willicombe to move to

:09:00. > :09:03.Spalding last week has not gone down terribly well here. They should not

:09:04. > :09:08.remain councillors. If they are up there they do not know what is going

:09:09. > :09:12.on here. It is disgusting, if councillors represent the area, they

:09:13. > :09:18.should live in the area. If they move away, how can they understand

:09:19. > :09:23.what is going on. The couple moved from Sittingbourne to Lincolnshire

:09:24. > :09:27.150 miles away because their household quicker than they expected

:09:28. > :09:30.and their money goes further there than it does in Kent. The couple did

:09:31. > :09:34.not want to give a television interview but they send me an e`mail

:09:35. > :09:39.saying that they will be attending what meetings they can in the near

:09:40. > :09:44.future but they will not be travelling `` claiming travel

:09:45. > :09:48.expenses. They think they can continue to represent their ward

:09:49. > :09:52.effectively by telephone and letter. People with issues want you to visit

:09:53. > :09:58.them straightaway. You cannot do that from Lincolnshire. You will be

:09:59. > :10:02.out of touch with local people. Can they be effective councillors when

:10:03. > :10:07.they live hundreds of miles away? I believe they can. 75% of what we do

:10:08. > :10:12.as local councillors is done either by e`mail or over the phone. Quite

:10:13. > :10:18.bluntly, people would not know whether I was talking to them from

:10:19. > :10:24.my office here in the warlord or my office at Swale Council or my office

:10:25. > :10:29.at County Hall. You must concede it is not ideal. It is not a perfect

:10:30. > :10:39.situation. They have served 24 years on the council between them and they

:10:40. > :10:42.do not plan to resign. Four men from the south`east to control the drugs

:10:43. > :10:47.supply network across the region have been jailed for a total of 24

:10:48. > :10:52.years. In one of the biggest seizures of the kind in Kent Police

:10:53. > :10:56.caught the gang red`handed as they unloaded cannabis resin worth around

:10:57. > :11:02.?5 million. More than ?5,000 has been donated to

:11:03. > :11:07.the chosen charity of a marathon runner who died after collapsing in

:11:08. > :11:12.Ireland. Ricky Savage was 27 and was taken to hospital after suffering a

:11:13. > :11:13.suspected heart attack on Monday. He was raising money for the British

:11:14. > :11:16.Heart Foundation. Kent Fire and Rescue Service is

:11:17. > :11:19.warning people against having bonfires or fireworks tomorrow ahead

:11:20. > :11:22.of planned strike action. Members of the Fire Brigades Union will take

:11:23. > :11:25.industrial action tomorrow evening between 6.30 and 11.30 and also on

:11:26. > :11:29.Monday from 6.00am to 8.00am. Kent Fire and Rescue say they will be

:11:30. > :11:43.answering 999 calls, but not running a normal service.

:11:44. > :11:47.Crowds braved today's wet weather to welcome Her Majesty The Queen and

:11:48. > :11:50.The Duke of Edinburgh on a royal visit to East Sussex. The Queen came

:11:51. > :11:53.to Falmer, Newhaven and Lewes, where she had lunch at one of the

:11:54. > :11:56.country's most famous breweries. Well, our reporter Chrissie Reidy

:11:57. > :12:00.has been following the royal tour. Just a few hours ago you would not

:12:01. > :12:05.have been able to move on this bridge in the heart of Lewis.

:12:06. > :12:11.Hundreds and hundreds of well`wishers turned out in the hope

:12:12. > :12:15.of capturing a glimpse of the Queen. She was at that brewery and having

:12:16. > :12:24.lunch and having a tour, just one of the places she looked at on her

:12:25. > :12:28.whistle stop tour of East Sussex. Fashionably dressed in pink, it was

:12:29. > :12:32.all smiles from the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh as they arrived in

:12:33. > :12:38.New Haven. The weather may not have been up to scratch but the

:12:39. > :12:47.well`wishers did not mind. It is the first time in my life that I can

:12:48. > :12:52.tell my students `` tell my children that when I was pregnant I went to

:12:53. > :12:57.see the Queen. What about your curtsy? I have been practising but

:12:58. > :13:02.it is quite hard with trousers on. We are on our lunch break and we are

:13:03. > :13:11.down here to see the Queen. First up for inspection was a family run

:13:12. > :13:22.business. We are honoured in a small town like this. It is absolutely

:13:23. > :13:27.fantastic. Her Majesty also found time to speak to the lifeboat crew

:13:28. > :13:31.who searched for missing teenager Dylan Alkins on Sunday night. She

:13:32. > :13:36.was interested what we did on the actual day so I explained to her

:13:37. > :13:39.that I was coordinating the whole rescue with the lifeboats, the

:13:40. > :13:45.helicopter and the search teams I had on the ground. Then it was off

:13:46. > :13:51.to a news hostel `` youth hostel. Then a tour of the oldest

:13:52. > :13:55.independent brewery in Sussex. Her Majesty actually pressed abrupt and

:13:56. > :14:00.in the brewhouse to initiate the map showing of a brew of Elizabethan ale

:14:01. > :14:03.which was a brew we originally did for her coronation and we have

:14:04. > :14:08.brewed ever since so it was very fitting that she was able to do that

:14:09. > :14:12.and we are very grateful that she did. After lunch the party headed

:14:13. > :14:19.off to Falmer where an archive centre got the royal approval. As

:14:20. > :14:22.Sussex rolled out the red carpet, there was a buzz in the air. Many

:14:23. > :14:27.say they will remember this day for a long time. Today was one of those

:14:28. > :14:32.occasions where it does not matter who you are or where you are from,

:14:33. > :14:37.everyone came together to celebrate this royal occasion. Apart from the

:14:38. > :14:41.inclement weather this morning I don't think anyone was disappointed.

:14:42. > :14:45.Thank you very much. This is our top story tonight: There

:14:46. > :14:47.are fresh questions tonight over maternity service reforms across

:14:48. > :14:51.Sussex and Kent after a birthing centre that NHS bosses championed as

:14:52. > :14:53.the way forward was forced to close its doors temporarily.

:14:54. > :14:56.The Crowborough Birthing Unit has shut because staff are needed in

:14:57. > :15:08.Hastings. Also in tonight's programme: Our

:15:09. > :15:13.House comes to your street. That is if you are in Brighton.

:15:14. > :15:17.Madness the musical goes on to. If you are trick or treating tonight

:15:18. > :15:27.there are blustery showers around and you could stay dry fingers

:15:28. > :15:31.crossed. He was the wartime leader whose face

:15:32. > :15:35.will soon adorn the five pound note, but today a bust of Sir Winston

:15:36. > :15:38.Churchill was unveiled at the US Capitol in Washington before a crowd

:15:39. > :15:40.that included the leaders of Congress and his grandson, the

:15:41. > :15:43.Sussex MP Nicholas Soames. The unveiling comes 50 years after

:15:44. > :15:48.Churchill, whose family home was in Kent, was granted honorary US

:15:49. > :15:53.citizenship. But there were family links to America well before then.

:15:54. > :15:57.His mother, Jennie Jerome, was born and raised in New York. And this

:15:58. > :15:59.isn't the first time the Prime Minister has been recognised in

:16:00. > :16:04.He has a United States Navy destroyer named after him, the USS

:16:05. > :16:12.Winston S Churchill. Our Political Editor Louise Stewart has tonight's

:16:13. > :16:19.Special Report. Winston Churchill was the best

:16:20. > :16:23.friend the United States ever had. The Speaker of the US house of

:16:24. > :16:29.representatives pays tribute to Britain's wartime Prime Minister.

:16:30. > :16:33.Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of history's true love stories, between

:16:34. > :16:38.a great statesman and a nation that he called the great Republic. These

:16:39. > :16:43.special relationship between the United States and the UK began with

:16:44. > :16:48.Winston Churchill and it has enjoyed to the present day. Churchill's

:16:49. > :16:52.grandson and MP for mid Sussex swapped Westminster for Washington

:16:53. > :16:56.to attend the ceremony. It is not just that Americans love Churchill

:16:57. > :17:00.but Churchill loved America and they know that. He came here for the

:17:01. > :17:05.first time when he was 20 and he had a 60 or 70 year love affair with

:17:06. > :17:10.America. I have not come here asking for money. There is no secret that

:17:11. > :17:15.the Americans admire Winston Churchill and John Kerry took the

:17:16. > :17:20.opportunity to pay tribute to him. This man was an original, in every

:17:21. > :17:26.respect. When he was invited to the White House to stay for a week, he

:17:27. > :17:30.stayed for months. Churchill's other great love was his home in Kent

:17:31. > :17:36.where he lived for four decades. His links with the US stretch back even

:17:37. > :17:39.further. His mother was an American US `` and American heiress and he

:17:40. > :17:44.maintains strong bonds with the US throughout his life. My grandfather

:17:45. > :17:50.would be very proud that his head could be in such a great pantheon.

:17:51. > :17:55.The special relationship has come under strain. When Barack Balmer

:17:56. > :17:59.became president he removed a Winston Churchill bust from the

:18:00. > :18:05.White House but that relationship has been strengthened again. Winston

:18:06. > :18:11.Churchill returns to the United States Capitol. Just as the statue

:18:12. > :18:20.of Lincoln stands outside of Parliament, this bust removes the

:18:21. > :18:24.ties between our peoples. Music was provided by Roger Daltrey who is

:18:25. > :18:29.based in Sussex and he was thrilled to be at the ceremony. It really is

:18:30. > :18:34.an honour to be here. I try to choose songs that reflected the

:18:35. > :18:40.man's views and reflected where we are in society now. The last word

:18:41. > :18:51.must go to Churchill himself. Here we are, together, defending all that

:18:52. > :18:55.to free men is dear. They were one of the most prominent

:18:56. > :18:59.bands of the 70s and 80s. And they have sung on the roof of Buckingham

:19:00. > :19:02.Palace for the Queen's Jubilee celebrations. Now a musical about

:19:03. > :19:05.the ska band Madness, called Our House, is due to open in Brighton

:19:06. > :19:09.next week. Well, our reporter Caroline Fereday has been along to

:19:10. > :19:14.meet one of the lead members of the group and she joins us live now from

:19:15. > :19:21.Brighton. I bet that is a lively assignment.

:19:22. > :19:25.Yes, it is a fun show where you can sing along in your head. When it

:19:26. > :19:31.first opened it won an award for the best new musical and they hope to

:19:32. > :19:36.follow up on that respect `` success. Earlier on I met up with

:19:37. > :19:46.the man who penned some of the most famous songs of Madness. They set

:19:47. > :19:51.the sound of a generation and their music has lived on to be the

:19:52. > :19:54.soundtrack of celebrations for all ages. Now the man behind some of

:19:55. > :19:59.their biggest songs says he is looking forward to his music

:20:00. > :20:05.reaching another new audience. Every time I see it I get a bit tearful.

:20:06. > :20:10.Some of is quite emotional. It sounds really corny but it is our

:20:11. > :20:14.songs that are being used for something else than what they were

:20:15. > :20:21.written for. We did not write them thinking we would have a musical one

:20:22. > :20:26.day. But come your songs do have a story to them, though. There is

:20:27. > :20:31.always a narrative to the song. Yes, they are usually little stories

:20:32. > :20:38.about people or events or things. This one is a story of good versus

:20:39. > :20:44.bad and it is set in Camden Town. He admits he has had his own fair share

:20:45. > :20:47.of ups and downs with the band. You are out of Madness for a bit and

:20:48. > :20:54.then you were back in again, what happened there? It was health

:20:55. > :20:59.reasons. I was sick of them. There was a certain period of my life when

:21:00. > :21:03.I moved to Brighton. I had left the band and I moved to Brighton. Back

:21:04. > :21:06.in the band he joined them last year when they played at the Olympics

:21:07. > :21:12.closing ceremony and the Jubilee celebrations. You were always a bit

:21:13. > :21:16.antiestablishment and then you were on the top of Buckingham Palace. I

:21:17. > :21:20.don't think we were antiestablishment. If they ask you,

:21:21. > :21:26.they are the firm, aren't they? If you don't do it, you get in trouble!

:21:27. > :21:32.So he is staying out of trouble and in Madness and hoping the show will

:21:33. > :21:36.bring the house down. The show opens next week on Monday and it is in

:21:37. > :21:40.Brighton all week. If you are anything like we have been all day,

:21:41. > :21:44.once you have heard the songs, they get in your ear and go over and over

:21:45. > :21:48.and over. We can sing them all night now. I think we will. Thank you very

:21:49. > :21:52.much indeed. 100 years of history was brought

:21:53. > :21:54.bang up to date today with the unveiling of state`of`the`art new

:21:55. > :21:57.information panels on the Chatham Naval Memorial. The memorial bears

:21:58. > :22:03.the names of thousands of sailors from the Medway Towns who lost their

:22:04. > :22:07.lives in the two world wars. Now, if you want to find out more about the

:22:08. > :22:13.people who died, you simply need a smartphone as Ian Palmer explains.

:22:14. > :22:22.A battleship grey day for a battleship grey memorial. Each panel

:22:23. > :22:26.here at Chatham's Naval Memorial carries information about the

:22:27. > :22:31.cemetery. Scan your mobile phone and you can find out more. It allows

:22:32. > :22:35.people to access more information than we have room to display here.

:22:36. > :22:40.It is very easy to use your mobile phone to pick this up. You can

:22:41. > :22:43.download the information about the people who are commemorated here,

:22:44. > :22:51.the relatives, take it away and read it at your leisure, out of the rain

:22:52. > :22:54.at home. This man was a carpenter 's mate. Despite being outgunned the

:22:55. > :23:00.ship held off a German cruiser for three hours, allowing the convoy it

:23:01. > :23:06.was protecting to escape. His sacrifice is one of four stories

:23:07. > :23:11.recorded. I was told about my uncle Tom and I was named after him. I was

:23:12. > :23:16.told that he wasn't Ostler at Woolwich Arsenal before the war,

:23:17. > :23:24.working with horses. He joined at the outbreak of the war and joined

:23:25. > :23:28.the ship. We have information including audio clips are describing

:23:29. > :23:33.their experiences and photos and letters as well. What we hope is

:23:34. > :23:38.that will really help people to engage on a human and personal level

:23:39. > :23:42.with the people that we commemorate here at Chatham. The panels at

:23:43. > :23:46.Chatham are one of 500 being set up around the world in time for the

:23:47. > :23:55.centenary of the First World War. Success will be judged on whether

:23:56. > :24:00.they inspire a new generation. What a great project, but such a wet

:24:01. > :24:05.day in Chatham. It was grey and overcast. A lot of

:24:06. > :24:09.umbrellas around. Earlier today we had several bands of rain moving

:24:10. > :24:14.eastwards. A good deal of other around. It has always felt chilly as

:24:15. > :24:19.well. Temperatures are down from where they have been recently but it

:24:20. > :24:24.is average for the time of year. Just look at the winds, in Dover it

:24:25. > :24:29.is still about 25 miles an hour so those brisk winds are taking the

:24:30. > :24:33.edge of the temperatures. If you are trick or treating tonight there is a

:24:34. > :24:37.chance there could be a blustery and hefty shower but fingers crossed we

:24:38. > :24:40.should stay mostly dry in the first part of this evening. Further

:24:41. > :24:47.outbreaks of rain as we had through the night. It is a grey and overcast

:24:48. > :24:52.picture. Temperatures only dropped to about 12 degrees so barely

:24:53. > :24:55.dropping from daytime values in many places. Relatively mild as we start

:24:56. > :25:01.the day tomorrow but there is still a warning out about the risk of

:25:02. > :25:06.heavy rain. During the morning outbreaks of light rain and it will

:25:07. > :25:14.mostly be cloudy and dry. As we get through the afternoon the rain will

:25:15. > :25:19.turn heavy and persistent. Temperatures hold art, 12 or 13

:25:20. > :25:26.degrees, it will feel good side cooler. The wind will pick up a

:25:27. > :25:30.little as well. As we go over into Saturday the rain intensifies for a

:25:31. > :25:36.time. It clears to the east and you start the day on Saturday mostly

:25:37. > :25:40.dry. The temperatures only dropped to around 10 degrees. A bit lower in

:25:41. > :25:45.rural spots. We will see brightness as we start the weekend. The wind

:25:46. > :25:50.will be particular is strong on Saturday. Rain at the weekend,

:25:51. > :25:54.particularly on Sunday but it will always feel chilly. Sunshine as

:25:55. > :26:01.well. We expect it first thing on Saturday. And other band of rain and

:26:02. > :26:04.hopefully it will be drier as well. If you are planning a bonfire and

:26:05. > :26:08.some fireworks it is worth remembering it will be a windy

:26:09. > :26:14.picture and winds could pick up. There will be some rain and it will

:26:15. > :26:17.feel pretty chilly as well. As we go into Sunday there will be further

:26:18. > :26:22.outbreaks of rain and there is a warning of the risk of heavy

:26:23. > :26:27.rainfall. As we head into the new week the rain stays with us. It is

:26:28. > :26:33.drive for a time on Monday and wet and windy on Tuesday. A mixed bag

:26:34. > :26:37.but pretty wet. Before we go, news of a very special

:26:38. > :26:50.event we are hosting here next month.
