:00:07. > :00:10.Welcome to South East Today, I'm Rob Smith.
:00:11. > :00:12.And I'm Natalie Graham. Tonight's top stories.
:00:13. > :00:15.Coming to create a better future, we have an exclusive report from
:00:16. > :00:24.Romania asking what kind of migrant workers might want to come here from
:00:25. > :00:28.next month. I will go to England in order to save enough money to buy
:00:29. > :00:30.house or a piece of land. I will do anything, even manual labour.
:00:31. > :00:34.We'll be talking live to Nigel Farage, the leader of the UK
:00:35. > :00:40.Independence party and South East MEP. She was told she might die from
:00:41. > :00:41.the superbug, the woman who says a pair of copper pyjamas saved her
:00:42. > :00:44.life. Also in tonight's programme.
:00:45. > :00:47.He'll be back, Ed Miliband comes to Crawley, vowing to win back lost
:00:48. > :00:51.voters. Medals of a hero up for sale, left
:00:52. > :00:54.for dead in the horror of Passchendaele, the Sussex soldier
:00:55. > :00:57.who went on to serve with distinction in the Second World War.
:00:58. > :01:01.The busiest town for Christmas shopping online. If the bright
:01:02. > :01:03.lights of Brighton struggle to compete, can any of our high streets
:01:04. > :01:14.keep going? Good evening.
:01:15. > :01:18.Experts in Romania say the South East shouldn't fear a mass influx of
:01:19. > :01:26.migrants next month when its citizens will be free to travel to
:01:27. > :01:29.the UK to work. Critics argue potential immigrants will be
:01:30. > :01:33.attracted by the benefits they might be able to claim here. But some
:01:34. > :01:36.migration specialists in Bulgaria and Romania say their countries
:01:37. > :01:41.might suffer a brain drain of their brightest and best workers. Our
:01:42. > :01:45.special correspondent Colin Campbell has been to Romania's second city to
:01:46. > :01:56.find who is planning to come, and whether there will be a Romanian
:01:57. > :02:01.exodus. This is Cluj`Napoca, Romania's
:02:02. > :02:06.second`largest city, Transylvania's cosmopolitan capital. In a hidden
:02:07. > :02:19.corner of this EU city, there is extreme poverty.
:02:20. > :02:30.But amongst the squalor and dirt, there is hope that a better life can
:02:31. > :02:36.be obtained elsewhere. An unemployed labourer, a father of two, a proud
:02:37. > :02:42.Roma gypsy, this man says that if he has to, he will walk to England. He
:02:43. > :02:47.believes it's the only opportunity has create a future for kids
:02:48. > :02:51.children. TRANSLATION: I will go to England in order to save enough
:02:52. > :02:56.money to buy a house or a piece of land. I'm willing to do anything,
:02:57. > :03:01.even manual labour. There are 500 Roma gypsies living in this
:03:02. > :03:05.shantytown. It's one of a number in Cluj`Napoca, but in just a few
:03:06. > :03:11.months time, this place will be demolished. The people living here
:03:12. > :03:15.have got no idea where they could go. Local government say they will
:03:16. > :03:19.do their best to rehouse this community. Unemployment might force
:03:20. > :03:24.them to move further afield. How many people in this community know
:03:25. > :03:31.about England? How many people here would like to go to England?
:03:32. > :03:34.TRANSLATION: This community leader told me many here want to go to
:03:35. > :03:41.England. A country where you can earn money. A university city, the
:03:42. > :03:47.highly skilled here are also looking to England for work opportunities.
:03:48. > :03:52.This woman is a pharmacy student. I speak English pretty well. The
:03:53. > :03:59.language would not be a problem for me. And I would like to try a new
:04:00. > :04:05.place, a different place from Romania, for a couple of years,
:04:06. > :04:10.maybe. This trainee doctor told me he will go to England when he
:04:11. > :04:16.qualifies. If you are being educated here, shouldn't you stay in Romania
:04:17. > :04:21.and use your skills here? That would make sense. But the working
:04:22. > :04:30.conditions for doctors in Romania are not the best. We don't get paid
:04:31. > :04:35.very well. England has much better opportunities. Another graduate,
:04:36. > :04:40.this 27`year`old has just quit his job working in a hotel. He flies to
:04:41. > :04:45.England on Friday. His wife is already working in the UK. I always
:04:46. > :04:52.liked England. It was my dream to work there. What would you be trying
:04:53. > :04:59.to do when you get there? To work in the same field as I was working in
:05:00. > :05:04.Romania, in a hotel. The green light to work but some Romanian experts
:05:05. > :05:10.say there will be no invasion, no wave of mass migration. I don't see
:05:11. > :05:15.the UK comes as a prime destination, put it like that. It is an important
:05:16. > :05:20.destination for a brain drain, so talented people will go to the UK,
:05:21. > :05:27.but not a large labour migration to the UK.
:05:28. > :05:33.Music, free food and national pride, yesterday, Romania celebrated
:05:34. > :05:41.unification after the First World War. In less than a month, they will
:05:42. > :05:43.gain a new freedom within the EU. Freedom many here believe could have
:05:44. > :05:49.the power change lives. Colin joins us from Cluj`Napoca. The
:05:50. > :05:58.big question of course, the big unknown, is how many Romanians will
:05:59. > :06:02.actually come to England. Well, it depends who you talk to but
:06:03. > :06:09.experts, academics, politicians in Romania and the UK suggest figures
:06:10. > :06:14.between 10,000`50,000 Romania over the next 45 years a year. I have
:06:15. > :06:18.been here in Cluj`Napoca in the north`west of Romania for the last
:06:19. > :06:21.three days and many people I've spoken to say they want to come to
:06:22. > :06:25.the UK to work because they believe the working conditions, the wages
:06:26. > :06:29.and the job opportunities are better in the UK. It will be difficult for
:06:30. > :06:36.some because the average monthly wage here is ?200. It will be
:06:37. > :06:40.difficult for them to make their way to the UK. Interestingly, England is
:06:41. > :06:44.not the number one destination. That remains to be Italy and Spain. That
:06:45. > :06:48.could possibly change over the next year or so.
:06:49. > :06:58.We're joined by Nigel Farage MEP, leader of UKIP. Thank you for being
:06:59. > :07:01.with us. You are deeply worried about the number of Romania and
:07:02. > :07:07.Bulgaria 's who might come over to the UK but the reality is nobody
:07:08. > :07:11.knows how many will. What we do know is that in 2004 the government told
:07:12. > :07:16.us that an extra 13,000 people a year would come from Poland and the
:07:17. > :07:21.other former Communist Party is that joined the European Union. We said
:07:22. > :07:26.that figure was rubbish. Over a million have come unsettled. We are
:07:27. > :07:30.talking today about Romania and Bulgaria. Countries even poorer,
:07:31. > :07:35.countries that are even more corrupt than those countries that joined in
:07:36. > :07:40.2004. It is a fairly good, intelligent estimates that at least
:07:41. > :07:42.a quarter of a million people will come to Britain from those countries
:07:43. > :07:47.over the course of the next five years. The County Council has
:07:48. > :07:54.estimated there will be a total of 8600 people coming to Kent, at a
:07:55. > :08:00.cost of some ?3 million. That is a much smaller number, isn't it? It is
:08:01. > :08:04.a different situation to 2004. If Kent County Council alone are
:08:05. > :08:09.prepared to admit that up to 8,000 might come, multiply that across all
:08:10. > :08:14.the different counties and towns, and you reach a very large figure. I
:08:15. > :08:18.hear this academic argument that they will go to Spain, they will go
:08:19. > :08:23.to Italy, because linguistically those countries are closer. Remember
:08:24. > :08:27.this ` we made the wise decision of not joining the Eurozone and our
:08:28. > :08:31.economy, although not brilliant, is a darn sight better than that in the
:08:32. > :08:35.Eurozone. If you are a doctor in Romania, you can earn more money
:08:36. > :08:40.working as a minicab driver in this country, and if you come here from
:08:41. > :08:44.Romania and you've got two kids back in Bucharest, the child benefit
:08:45. > :08:52.alone that you can claim it is worth more than you will earn doing menial
:08:53. > :08:56.job. Logic says large numbers will come. We have from people who are
:08:57. > :09:00.very highly skilled and competent. If they come over to the UK, they
:09:01. > :09:06.won't be looking for minicab jobs, but highly proper skill highly paid
:09:07. > :09:11.jobs. They will be positively contributing to the economy. It will
:09:12. > :09:14.be a combination. We will get some very good skill highly trained
:09:15. > :09:18.people that will come to Britain and that will constitute a brain drain
:09:19. > :09:23.coming from Romania and Bulgaria. We will also get a large number of
:09:24. > :09:27.people who are unskilled workers who will take jobs, jobs, frankly, that
:09:28. > :09:33.British people should do. But, the real worry, because of the exclusion
:09:34. > :09:36.of the Roma communities in those countries, they haven't got jobs,
:09:37. > :09:41.they haven't got anywhere decent to live, what we will also get is a
:09:42. > :09:47.criminal wave coming to this country. That's kind of language is
:09:48. > :09:54.dangerous, isn't it? A criminal wave, that is setting up potential
:09:55. > :09:59.trouble. In Victorian England, we got rid of Fagin and the pickpocket
:10:00. > :10:03.gangs. And now in London 92% of crimes are being committed by
:10:04. > :10:08.Romania 's. There have been 27,000 Romania arrest in the space of the
:10:09. > :10:12.last five years, and because we are members of the European Union, we
:10:13. > :10:15.are powerless not just stop criminals coming to Britain, we
:10:16. > :10:22.haven't even the power to put them away. Everyone wants to brush this
:10:23. > :10:28.under the carpet, but this matters. Let me put one more statistic back
:10:29. > :10:33.to you. 17% of British nationals receive benefits. 7% of non`UK
:10:34. > :10:35.nationals receive benefits. There is far less a bigger problem with
:10:36. > :10:42.benefits than is initially perceived. Of course there are more
:10:43. > :10:45.Britain is in percentage terms that claim benefits because we have
:10:46. > :10:49.people living in this country who are disabled, who have got mental
:10:50. > :10:54.illness problems, and, by definition, are not mobile and stay
:10:55. > :10:58.in this country. I would welcome skilled foreign workers coming to
:10:59. > :11:02.Britain from all over the world on a work permit. But every single one of
:11:03. > :11:07.them should have health insurance, and nobody should be able to claim
:11:08. > :11:12.unemployment benefit, housing benefit, child benefit, or any other
:11:13. > :11:16.form of benefit until they've been here for five years and paid into
:11:17. > :11:19.the system. Nigel Farage, thank you for being with us.
:11:20. > :11:22.Tomorrow, we'll be looking at the potential social impact of Romanian
:11:23. > :11:24.and Bulgarian migration in the South East.
:11:25. > :11:28.In a moment, the trial begins of two women accused of murdering a Kent DJ
:11:29. > :11:35.in a planned and sustained knife attack.
:11:36. > :11:42.A mother who contracted MRSA after giving birth says her life was saved
:11:43. > :11:45.by a pair of copper pyjamas. At first, the super bug couldn't be
:11:46. > :11:54.brought under control after Gemma Wilby from Caterham had a caesarean
:11:55. > :11:58.section. Within days of wearing the copper infused pyjamas, her
:11:59. > :12:03.condition improved, tickly. The doctors say they are now planning a
:12:04. > :12:10.medical trial to see if other patients can benefit. A cocktail of
:12:11. > :12:15.drugs and even maggot therapy made no difference to the huge wound gem
:12:16. > :12:19.will be had developed until she says her friend suggested she tried
:12:20. > :12:22.copper infused pyjamas. I was feeling really down, I couldn't
:12:23. > :12:27.leave the house because the infection nurse was coming in, the
:12:28. > :12:31.wound smell, it was painful, struggling to pick up my baby. With
:12:32. > :12:36.the pyjamas, it cut the recovery time, I was better by Christmas,
:12:37. > :12:40.when they told me it was going to be a year. A BBC science show recently
:12:41. > :12:46.demonstrated how copper displays superbug that a link would own for.
:12:47. > :12:49.If we look what happens on copper after five minutes, you see the
:12:50. > :12:53.difference. The company behind the copper infused clothing say that
:12:54. > :12:58.also helped treat an underarm infection in another patient. There
:12:59. > :13:02.is no bacteria that can live on copper. It stands to reason that if
:13:03. > :13:08.we put it in clothing, socks, bedding, pyjamas, it will kill any
:13:09. > :13:14.bacteria. Medics at Croydon hospital are planning further tests saying
:13:15. > :13:17.there are overwhelmed by the potential benefits. They could
:13:18. > :13:23.minimise infection at a national and possibly global level. Talking of
:13:24. > :13:27.the need to evaluate these products in controlled clinical trials.
:13:28. > :13:32.Because MRSA can be spread so easily in the community, it can represent a
:13:33. > :13:38.real burdens the health care services, so there is an enthusiasm
:13:39. > :13:46.to try to test anything that could help potentially bring cases down.
:13:47. > :13:49.Copper does kill the MRSA bug, so it would help it from spreading in the
:13:50. > :13:53.first instance, and if she had already been treated with
:13:54. > :13:59.antibiotics, the two things have a cumulative effect. It is unlikely
:14:00. > :14:03.indeed. They might have given the patient peace of mind, but I don't
:14:04. > :14:07.think it would've done much. But Gemma believes she could be a
:14:08. > :14:10.pioneer in the long battle against superbugs.
:14:11. > :14:14.Police are appealing for help after a teenage girl was raped in
:14:15. > :14:18.Brighton. They've released images of a man they'd like to speak to after
:14:19. > :14:27.the 19`year`old victim was dragged into a flat near Norfolk. Her
:14:28. > :14:33.attacker is described as being of Middle Eastern descent, stocky and
:14:34. > :14:36.aged between 30 and 40. Two women slashed the throat of a
:14:37. > :14:39.man with learning difficulties, and then claimed he tried to rape them,
:14:40. > :14:43.a court heard this afternoon. Michael Kerr's body was found in a
:14:44. > :14:46.car in Capel`le`Ferne near Dover. Alicia Davis and Charlotte Coulson,
:14:47. > :14:50.who are both 22, are accused of killing the 30`year`old DJ in April.
:14:51. > :14:59.Paul Siegert is at the Old Bailey now. What more can you tell us about
:15:00. > :15:06.the proceedings today? The man was 30, he had learning
:15:07. > :15:14.difficulties, and on the day in question, he paid Alicia for sex.
:15:15. > :15:19.Both women found themselves back in his car, and Charlotte claim she was
:15:20. > :15:23.on the back`seat and woke up to find Michael trying to rape Alicia. The
:15:24. > :15:27.two women say they found a knife on the floor of the car and stabbed him
:15:28. > :15:32.11 times in the neck and throat to stop the rate continuing. Sarah
:15:33. > :15:35.White horse from the prosecution told the court that the accounts
:15:36. > :15:46.given by mistake as and this course and...
:15:47. > :15:51.The prosecution went on to say that the friends are killed and is would
:15:52. > :15:55.back it up along with a series of text messages sent between the two
:15:56. > :16:08.women who were in the time. The text messages said...
:16:09. > :16:18.The two women both deny murder, the case is expected to last four weeks.
:16:19. > :16:21.The Labour Party suffered catastrophic losses in the last
:16:22. > :16:25.general election. Left with no MPs in the region and all. The Labour
:16:26. > :16:27.leader Ed Miliband has been meeting apprentices at a nursery in West
:16:28. > :16:35.Sussex and pledging further support for them if his party wins the next
:16:36. > :16:44.election. He has vowed to put red back into the blue map. Our
:16:45. > :16:48.political editor reports. Getting down with the kids, the
:16:49. > :16:52.Labour leader Ed Miliband came to caterpillars Nursery in Crawley to
:16:53. > :16:55.highlight the importance of apprenticeship schemes in helping to
:16:56. > :16:58.build a strong economy. A Labour government would say to companies
:16:59. > :17:02.that if you want a major government contract, you've got to provide
:17:03. > :17:07.apprenticeships. It is why we say that if you want to bring in skilled
:17:08. > :17:10.worker from outside the EU, you've got to provide apprenticeships. And
:17:11. > :17:16.it would say to the young people that there is a future, a high
:17:17. > :17:19.waged, high skilled future for you. These apprentices have benefited
:17:20. > :17:25.from the existing government scheme but would welcome more support. We
:17:26. > :17:28.get paid minimum wage, but most apprenticeships are only paid ?2 50
:17:29. > :17:32.an hour, which needs to be changed. It needs to be advertising that
:17:33. > :17:36.people actually know what apprenticeships there are out there.
:17:37. > :17:41.But it's not just young peoples futures Ed Miliband is worried
:17:42. > :17:46.about. It is his own party's. Labour had seven MPs in Kent and five in
:17:47. > :17:50.Sussex in 2005. In 2010, they were wiped off the map and currently
:17:51. > :17:54.don't have a single MP here. He is determined to change that. Crawley
:17:55. > :17:59.is one of your target seats. Is this you gearing up early saying, we know
:18:00. > :18:12.we've got work to do? I'm going to be here a lot right across the
:18:13. > :18:15.region, talking that Labourmessage, how we can make a difference to the
:18:16. > :18:17.country. We've got really important things to say to people who are
:18:18. > :18:19.worried about train fares, child care, energy bills. That is where
:18:20. > :18:22.labour is. Talking about issues that matter to people. Some people might
:18:23. > :18:26.say he's wasting his time in the South East, but if you didn't use
:18:27. > :18:30.this `` to this, he would be accused of being lazy. Labour strategists
:18:31. > :18:36.are saying to themselves, we will not get many here. But all we have
:18:37. > :18:39.to do is get our basic boat out and we've got the election in the bag.
:18:40. > :18:46.The next election might be 18 months away, but they's visit means that
:18:47. > :18:50.the South East will be a crucial battle ground in the next election.
:18:51. > :18:53.This is our top story tonight. Experts in Romania say the South
:18:54. > :18:57.East shouldn't fear a mass influx of migrants next month when its
:18:58. > :19:00.citizens will be free to travel to the UK to work. Critics argue
:19:01. > :19:04.potential immigrants will be attracted by the benefits they might
:19:05. > :19:06.be able to claim here. But some migration specialists in Bulgaria
:19:07. > :19:09.and Romania argue their countries might suffer a brain drain of their
:19:10. > :19:15.brightest and best workers. Also in tonight's programme. Had you
:19:16. > :19:20.done yours? How Brighton is the busiest shopping city in the South
:19:21. > :19:24.East not on the high street. And after a quiet and dull start, things
:19:25. > :19:25.will turn brighter but significantly colder as we go through the week.
:19:26. > :19:46.Join me later for the forecast. Robert Collie served in both world
:19:47. > :19:50.wars. He took part in Passchendaele in 1917 and was left for dead on a
:19:51. > :19:55.pile of corpses. A doctor happened to notice a famed twitch and search
:19:56. > :19:58.`` saved his life. He went on to serve in the Second World War and
:19:59. > :20:04.married a nurse. Their son is now selling his medals at auction. Peter
:20:05. > :20:07.Whittlesea reports. These medals tell the story of a
:20:08. > :20:13.military career that spanned two world wars and Robert Collie's acts
:20:14. > :20:17.of bravery. It is a story he recounted to his son of his
:20:18. > :20:22.extraordinary survival in Flandersand field that highlights
:20:23. > :20:28.the horrors of war. He was shot in the stomach, thrown on the mode of
:20:29. > :20:34.dead bodies, and an Indian Doctors Sorkin to which, he was pulled out
:20:35. > :20:39.and he recovered. He went back into the trenches. By this stage, Robert
:20:40. > :20:43.Collie had fought at the Battle of the Somme and Ypres. By all
:20:44. > :20:47.accounts, he was a tough Scotsman who joined the Army as a private
:20:48. > :20:51.soldier, ending his career as a major after fighting in the Second
:20:52. > :20:58.World War. His medals are now being auctioned in Eastbourne. He had to
:20:59. > :21:01.fight through both world wars, and to have mentioned dispatches in both
:21:02. > :21:10.world wars and to get an MBE during the wars, it is unique. It will go
:21:11. > :21:14.into the hands of a very serious private collector, I think. During
:21:15. > :21:19.the two world wars, Robert Collie was posted to India where he became
:21:20. > :21:22.heavyweight boxing champion and an accomplished billiard player. He
:21:23. > :21:29.carried the scars of trench warfare all his life. He said he was jolly
:21:30. > :21:35.lucky to live. He suffered from hernia life after that because his
:21:36. > :21:39.stomach was shot up. He says he wants his father 's medals to go to
:21:40. > :21:40.a good home so this extraordinary story of survival is never
:21:41. > :21:55.forgotten. It's Cyber Monday and if you're not
:21:56. > :21:58.watching this, or more likely while you are watching this, then the
:21:59. > :22:01.chances are you might be hunched over your laptop or tablet ordering
:22:02. > :22:05.your Christmas presents online. It's been revealed Brighton and Hove is
:22:06. > :22:08.the busiest in Kent and Sussex for online shopping. Mark Sanders is in
:22:09. > :22:14.the city tonight. Brighton is known for its huge variety of shops, so
:22:15. > :22:20.this is something of a surprise? I think it is a pricing, especially
:22:21. > :22:23.when you consider a specially in tonnes of online, Brighton and Hove
:22:24. > :22:26.Albion is busier than the West End of London. Those festive fingers are
:22:27. > :22:29.busy right now as we move into the peak period tonight for online
:22:30. > :22:33.shopping. People are clicking their way
:22:34. > :22:36.towards Christmas. In Brighton and Hove, it is an increasing trend to
:22:37. > :22:41.go online rather than on the high street. The Royal Mail puts the city
:22:42. > :22:44.among the top ten places in the country for online shopping. And it
:22:45. > :22:54.is top of the table in the South East. Online. Why is that? Easy. You
:22:55. > :22:57.can get everything you want. Browse at night when the mood takes you.
:22:58. > :23:04.You look on your laptop, but what about getting out and getting in the
:23:05. > :23:13.Christmas mood? You make it sound healthy! It should be, should let?
:23:14. > :23:20.How will you do it? Online? Usually send my daughter. It's the easiest
:23:21. > :23:25.way. So, the third way. Getting somebody else to do it. One business
:23:26. > :23:29.organisation is stressing to note that even the smallest independent
:23:30. > :23:33.retailers are having to invest in an online presence. What we are seeing
:23:34. > :23:37.is those retailers that are surviving, not being taken down by
:23:38. > :23:42.the recession, those that have bought him into this clicks and
:23:43. > :23:48.mortar. They have got an online presence as well as a shop on the
:23:49. > :23:55.high street. In a digital age, it might seem easier to send Santa and
:23:56. > :23:59.e`mail rather than a letter. Amazon is developing unmanned drones
:24:00. > :24:05.to deliver packages. The idea of Santa Claus coming down the chimney
:24:06. > :24:09.this Christmas sounds positively old school.
:24:10. > :24:12.It is a changing world, isn't it? The weekend's football now. A bit
:24:13. > :24:15.disappointing. It was a disappointing weekend for
:24:16. > :24:19.the south east's leading teams with just two goals and one point between
:24:20. > :24:22.them. The only good news was that point was good enough to extend
:24:23. > :24:25.Brighton's unbeaten run and, as Neil Bell reports, the Albion's equaliser
:24:26. > :24:28.at Bournemouth was a bit special. Brighton found themselves a goal
:24:29. > :24:33.down midway through the first half thanks to this powerful low shot.
:24:34. > :24:36.Once again, they showed their battling qualities and picked up a
:24:37. > :24:42.deserved point courtesy of this folly. It leaves Brighton two points
:24:43. > :24:51.of the play`off places. We deserved more. We kicked the ball, we had the
:24:52. > :24:57.ball, and we played much better in the second half. Charlton's
:24:58. > :25:01.indifferent season continued. This was enough to give Ipswich all three
:25:02. > :25:07.points. Only one, chilling were overwhelmed at Rotherham after this
:25:08. > :25:17.goal. Then there was a second. And they found themselves 3`0 down when
:25:18. > :25:21.Ben Pringle scored from distance. Rather rum restored their lead
:25:22. > :25:29.thanks to a fierce finish. Crawley appeared on course for another
:25:30. > :25:33.goalless draw until this header. With the new manager, possibly John
:25:34. > :25:40.Gregory, to be appointed tomorrow, Reds fans will be hoping that there
:25:41. > :25:43.goal drought will be over. Gillingham ladies came out on top in
:25:44. > :25:47.yesterday's top of the table clash with Brighton, winning 3`0. And the
:25:48. > :25:50.highlight of today's draw for the FA trophy sees lowly Whitstable Town
:25:51. > :25:53.take on 2008 winners Ebbsfleet United.
:25:54. > :25:58.Now, we don't often do happy birthday, but tonight we are making
:25:59. > :26:02.an exception for the longest living man in Sussex. He's been celebrating
:26:03. > :26:13.his birthday today. He is 106 years old. Reginald sprang, born in 1907.
:26:14. > :26:18.The suffragettes were arrested after storming the Houses of Parliament.
:26:19. > :26:22.He has been entertained by his local mayor. Reginald says he puts his
:26:23. > :26:25.long life down to an active life as a boy. Happy birthday. Well, what is
:26:26. > :26:36.the weather doing? A relatively mild for Reginald's
:26:37. > :26:39.birthday. We do get to see a bit of sunshine by the end of the week, and
:26:40. > :26:46.there will be some snow around as well. Even for us, we could see the
:26:47. > :26:51.odd wintry shower. Earlier, lots of cloud cover around, grey and dull
:26:52. > :26:54.start to working week. Highs of eight or nine, not particularly
:26:55. > :27:01.mild, just about getting into double figures. Going through tonight,
:27:02. > :27:04.still plenty of cloud around, particularly through the first part
:27:05. > :27:09.of tonight. Temperatures staying above freezing. A frost free night.
:27:10. > :27:12.More cloud in the beginning of the night. We have some clearer skies
:27:13. > :27:16.and with the lighter winds, some mist and fog patches forming,
:27:17. > :27:21.temperatures dropping to three or four. Still high pressure around
:27:22. > :27:27.tomorrow morning. The mist and fog will linger, seven by the afternoon
:27:28. > :27:32.we might see some rain and drizzle, but lots and lots of cloud cover
:27:33. > :27:37.with temperatures struggling. Highs of six or seven. Still very light
:27:38. > :27:39.winds from the westerly direction. Through tomorrow night, another
:27:40. > :27:47.cloudy night. Mostly staying frost free, temperatures staying above
:27:48. > :27:51.freezing, lows of two or three. Mist and fog on Wednesday, initially
:27:52. > :27:59.dry. We have this weather front, behind it much cooler breezes. It
:28:00. > :28:04.will start to feel very much cooler and colder as we get into Thursday.
:28:05. > :28:07.By Friday, temperatures struggling to get above three or four. There is
:28:08. > :28:16.a risk of some wintry showers on Friday. It is getting closer!
:28:17. > :28:20.Christmas is coming! Yes, we will get the rain, won't we? I will be
:28:21. > :28:25.back with the late bulletin. For now, goodbye.
