:00:00. > :00:45.The distraught family appealing for the return of 11 puppies stolen from
:00:46. > :00:48.their home in Kent. Curly from Coronation Street tells
:00:49. > :00:57.us why he's planning to open a dry pub for recovering alcoholics in
:00:58. > :01:01.Sussex. It is an idea for which I am prepared to die.
:01:02. > :01:11.And we talk to the Sussex man who wrote the screenplay for the film
:01:12. > :01:20.about Nelson Mandela's life. Good evening. An organised criminal
:01:21. > :01:22.gang, including a woman from Brighton, which trafficked scores of
:01:23. > :01:26.vulnerable women into the Southeast for sex has been found guilty in a
:01:27. > :01:31.unanimous verdict at Hove Crown Court.
:01:32. > :01:34.The group installed the young Hungarian women in brothels and
:01:35. > :01:37.hotels across Kent and Sussex. One was told she'd be killed if she
:01:38. > :01:39.didn't continue to work as a prostitute. Piers Hopkirk was in
:01:40. > :01:44.court. On the face of it they were a
:01:45. > :01:49.seemingly respectable young couple but on reality `` in reality
:01:50. > :01:54.Victoria Brown and Mate Puskas were running a prostitution ring.
:01:55. > :01:59.Exploiting poor and vulnerable women from Hungary and bringing them to
:02:00. > :02:04.the south`east as sex workers. Joanne Welsch helped to support some
:02:05. > :02:09.of the victims. It is hard to envisage how human beings could
:02:10. > :02:14.treat other human beings in such a callous and disrespectful way,
:02:15. > :02:21.essentially it seems the gang had no thought whatsoever for the women and
:02:22. > :02:27.just treated them as a way to get money and have a satisfying
:02:28. > :02:32.lifestyle on the back of their misery. Victoria Brown had worked at
:02:33. > :02:36.a PA in an engineering firm in Brighton and she was described as
:02:37. > :02:40.the logistical organiser of the operation. Her former partner and
:02:41. > :02:48.her partner in crime organised transport, hotels and clients, along
:02:49. > :02:52.with a co`defendant, Zoltan Mohacsi and Istvan Toth and Peter Toth.
:02:53. > :02:58.Today all five were convicted of conspiracy to traffic women into the
:02:59. > :03:02.UK for sexual exploitation. Creating profiles on a UK contact website
:03:03. > :03:06.very brought over at least 53 women putting them to work at hotels near
:03:07. > :03:11.Gatwick and brothels across Kent and Sussex including one in Margate. I
:03:12. > :03:17.became aware of a steady stream of men coming to and from the ground
:03:18. > :03:22.floor flat next door and it carried on all day, relentlessly, two or
:03:23. > :03:27.three at a time, just waiting to get in. The gang creamed off the cash
:03:28. > :03:30.and profited from the misery of the women they brought here and they
:03:31. > :03:34.have had their sentencing adjourned until tomorrow.
:03:35. > :03:37.Well, Piers joins us now from Hove. Piers, the authorities believe this
:03:38. > :03:44.was clearly a highly organised international conspiracy? Yes, this
:03:45. > :03:48.was prostitution on an almost industrial scale, facilitated by the
:03:49. > :03:52.age of the Internet, gone are the days of prostitutes working on
:03:53. > :03:57.street corners, supervised by pimps, instead this gang created online
:03:58. > :04:02.profiles for the prostitutes and manned a sort of switchboard of
:04:03. > :04:06.mobile phones linking up clients with prostitutes in brothels or
:04:07. > :04:13.hotels. We know these women were working across Kent and Sussex and
:04:14. > :04:17.as far west as Bristol and as far east as Norfolk so the police say
:04:18. > :04:21.that given the scale of that, the five people convicted today may have
:04:22. > :04:25.only been a part of this criminal conspiracy.
:04:26. > :04:28.Well, in an exclusive investigation BBC South East Today has tracked
:04:29. > :04:31.down a man wanted in Britain and named in court as an alleged
:04:32. > :04:35.co`conspirator in the case. The gang trafficked 50 Hungarian women in
:04:36. > :04:38.their teens and 20s. The Home Office believes the true
:04:39. > :04:41.number is likely to have been significantly higher, though. Some
:04:42. > :04:43.of the women were threatened with violence. Others were blackmailed
:04:44. > :04:45.and intimidated into working as prostitutes. Our Special
:04:46. > :04:49.Correspondent Colin Campbell travelled to Hungary as part of his
:04:50. > :04:50.investigation. His reports contains subjects that some viewers may find
:04:51. > :05:09.upsetting. Rural Hungary, gripped by poverty,
:05:10. > :05:14.it is from these desperate streets that scores of women were recruited
:05:15. > :05:22.and then trafficked to Kent and Sussex. How many men would you have
:05:23. > :05:26.two C? In one day, five. This is one of the many, she was advertised as
:05:27. > :05:30.fresh meat and flown to England with the understanding she would work in
:05:31. > :05:36.a mass large parlour. Instead she says she was confined to a hotel
:05:37. > :05:42.room and effectively kept as a sex slave. All the time I had to call
:05:43. > :05:46.and ask if it was OK to go to the shop and he would say no because a
:05:47. > :05:51.client was coming. Victoria Brown collected the money she earned and
:05:52. > :05:56.Mate Puskas exploited her. You try to leave England and he exploited
:05:57. > :06:01.you? He took my passport so there was no chance to leave England
:06:02. > :06:04.without the passport. He was also taking your money? Others were
:06:05. > :06:13.beaten, blackmailed and even threatened with death. At the heart
:06:14. > :06:21.of this criminal conspiracy was the exploitation of young and vulnerable
:06:22. > :06:25.women. Distributing condom is to prostitutes enabled a pest
:06:26. > :06:29.backstreet, one Hungary in charity told me that sex trafficking is an
:06:30. > :06:33.issue being left in the shadows. These people who are living under
:06:34. > :06:37.segregated circumstances are excluded from basic social services
:06:38. > :06:41.such as education and health services. They are becoming the
:06:42. > :06:49.victims of trafficking. Young women like this who were abused by their
:06:50. > :06:53.traffickers. She was locked into the room and they were there and they
:06:54. > :07:00.used drugs and they raped her and spit on her after that and they
:07:01. > :07:03.laughed at her. It is poor communities in the south of the
:07:04. > :07:09.country that Mate Puskas and others preyed on. A mother with six
:07:10. > :07:12.daughters, this woman told that many teenage girls had left her
:07:13. > :07:17.neighbourhood to work overseas as prostitutes. It is the promise of a
:07:18. > :07:21.better life overseas that has lowered many of the young women from
:07:22. > :07:25.rural Hungary in villages like this one into the clutches of people
:07:26. > :07:29.traffickers. Those that I have spoken to here say that it is
:07:30. > :07:32.poverty and lack of job opportunities which are the causes
:07:33. > :07:40.of prostitution in villages like this one. This leader told me that
:07:41. > :07:43.most women go overseas because they need to own money to for their
:07:44. > :07:48.families but it is the traffickers that get rich. It is thought that
:07:49. > :07:52.these brothers made ?20,000 a week and then there are others that the
:07:53. > :07:58.police want to track down like this man who is distinctively tattooed
:07:59. > :08:01.with three X is on his neck and he is involved with the trafficking
:08:02. > :08:05.gang and he has been described as an aggressive man who terrorised
:08:06. > :08:10.women. My investigation led me to a small village on the Hungary in/
:08:11. > :08:17.Romanian border. Do you know where he lives? Locals show me where he
:08:18. > :08:25.was at home? You have been to England? Two hotels in England?
:08:26. > :08:35.Hotels, yes. With women? Do you take women to England? No understand. He
:08:36. > :08:39.did not want to show his face on camera. Although he is named as a
:08:40. > :08:42.co`conspirator in this case he says he knows nothing about the
:08:43. > :08:46.trafficking of prostitutes to the UK and does not know any of the people
:08:47. > :08:51.involved. This woman says she escaped with help from her boyfriend
:08:52. > :08:55.but many like her continue to come to the UK, trafficked by criminals
:08:56. > :09:00.who exploit, control and degrade them for financial gain.
:09:01. > :09:03.Well, the gang are due to be sentenced tomorrow and on tomorrow's
:09:04. > :09:05.programme we'll have a second exclusive report from Hungary
:09:06. > :09:09.focusing on the victims rescued from sex trafficking and what's being
:09:10. > :09:13.done to combat the problem. In a moment: I'm very sorry.
:09:14. > :09:26.Gatwick's boss apologises for the Christmas chaos at the airport.
:09:27. > :09:30.100 officers could go under further cuts to Kent Police's budget
:09:31. > :09:35.according to the new Chief Constable. Alan Pughsley, speaking
:09:36. > :09:38.for the first time since taking the job yesterday, says he faces tough
:09:39. > :09:49.challenges ahead. Our Political Reporter Ellie Price has more. Our
:09:50. > :09:55.new Chief con has not stopped smiling since the day he was offered
:09:56. > :09:59.this job. The task ahead for the new Chief con is no laughing matter. As
:10:00. > :10:06.deputy for the last four years, you have seen the consequences of ?53
:10:07. > :10:11.million of budget cuts. One of his first jobs as the chief is to make
:10:12. > :10:15.more. The ?20 million will not all be police officers or police staff.
:10:16. > :10:19.I will take as much of that money out of non`people savings as I
:10:20. > :10:24.possibly can but it will impact at the end of a couple of years with
:10:25. > :10:27.less staff. How many? We are still working through it but my guess
:10:28. > :10:34.would be about 100 police officers in the next couple of years. That on
:10:35. > :10:39.top of the jobs that has already gone. His predecessor admitted that
:10:40. > :10:42.changes would have to be made. We will struggle to deliver the service
:10:43. > :10:47.in the way that we currently do. At the moment we go to every crime, as
:10:48. > :10:51.you know, can we afford to do that in the future? Possibly not. Is it
:10:52. > :10:58.realistic to hope that the level of service will remain the same with
:10:59. > :11:03.potentially at least 100 fewer officers and then savings around the
:11:04. > :11:10.edges? And Barnes said this morning that the forces already efficiency
:11:11. > :11:14.down so there is no slack to take. No, there is not. The promise I have
:11:15. > :11:18.to give is that we will do our very best to deliver the best service
:11:19. > :11:22.that we possibly can. If we reduce demand and use technology better and
:11:23. > :11:25.we designed the model so we are more embedded without communities then
:11:26. > :11:30.that will give us the best optimum chance of keeping the service as it
:11:31. > :11:34.currently is. I have two reduce the demand on my officers. They are
:11:35. > :11:47.creaking at this current moment in time. They are working so hard to
:11:48. > :11:50.deliver a quality service. If I take more officers out or more staff out
:11:51. > :11:52.and I do not reduce their workload, the mathematics do not work out. We
:11:53. > :11:55.have to to do things differently. People are worried about the number
:11:56. > :12:00.of police officers we are losing. We have lost 1200 people in the last
:12:01. > :12:06.few years and we will lose at least another 100 or maybe 150. You cannot
:12:07. > :12:10.police Kent in the 21st century with the same resource levels that we had
:12:11. > :12:16.in the 1980s. The force says that national catch `` natural wastage
:12:17. > :12:19.expends why they have opened recruitment but overall numbers will
:12:20. > :12:22.almost certainly go down. Well, let's cross live to Police
:12:23. > :12:26.Headquarters and speak to Ellie Price. Ellie, what else did the new
:12:27. > :12:31.Chief Constable have to say? He spoke about his relationship with
:12:32. > :12:35.and Barnes, the Police Commissioner in Kent and his boss who he says he
:12:36. > :12:40.is looking forward to working with. He spoke broadly about the role of
:12:41. > :12:43.the commission and said it had improved policing as well as the
:12:44. > :12:46.accountability of top police officers and made it more honest
:12:47. > :12:50.wherein the past abbey bureaucratic. I asked him about the issue of
:12:51. > :12:54.immigration and he said he had no specific concerns here in the county
:12:55. > :13:01.but it was something he would continue to monitor. Thank you very
:13:02. > :13:06.much indeed. You can hear a full interview with the chief can on the
:13:07. > :13:09.breakfast show tomorrow morning. The Police and Crime Commissioner
:13:10. > :13:12.for Sussex has denied that crime figures are being fiddled. Katy
:13:13. > :13:15.Bourne, who was giving evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee,
:13:16. > :13:18.was challenged by MPs over whether officers are misreporting crimes to
:13:19. > :13:22.meet targets. Sussex has recorded a reduction in crime in recent years.
:13:23. > :13:25.A man's been charged after two police officers were stabbed while
:13:26. > :13:32.on duty in Folkestone. The officers were attempting to issue a warrant
:13:33. > :13:35.and both needed stitches. Robert Jones, who's 39 and comes from St
:13:36. > :13:39.Michael's Street has been charged with two counts of grievous bodily
:13:40. > :13:41.harm with intent. He's been remanded in custody until later this month.
:13:42. > :13:44.Network Rail have officially opened their new operating centre in
:13:45. > :13:47.Sussex. The building in Three Bridges will become one of 14
:13:48. > :13:50.planned across the country and will coordinate railway operations in
:13:51. > :13:52.Sussex. Network Rail say they'll work alongside colleagues from
:13:53. > :13:56.Southern and First Capital Connect to improve services and facilities
:13:57. > :13:59.for passengers. A family from Kent is appealing for
:14:00. > :14:02.the return of 11 golden retriever puppies stolen from their farm in
:14:03. > :14:05.Ashford. Mark and Julie Kennedy discovered the dogs, which are
:14:06. > :14:10.valued at ?800 each, had been taken when they checked on the litter this
:14:11. > :14:14.morning. The family are now worried that if
:14:15. > :14:19.the puppies aren't given the right treatment, they could die. Simon
:14:20. > :14:24.Jones met the family this morning. These are the puppies that were
:14:25. > :14:29.taken during the night, just weeks old and from two separate litters
:14:30. > :14:33.born to the family's two pet dogs. They were possibly stolen for sale,
:14:34. > :14:37.ransom or breeding. They still needed their mums. They are not
:14:38. > :14:40.ready to go yet. The dogs are devastated and they keep running
:14:41. > :14:44.around and looking and I do not know we `` I do not know what we are
:14:45. > :14:48.going to do. The thieves broke down this door to get into the puppies
:14:49. > :14:53.and the family are convinced they were taken to order and this was not
:14:54. > :14:57.something they found by chance. What is concerning is that only a few of
:14:58. > :15:01.the puppies were microchips and vaccinated. Their first vaccination
:15:02. > :15:06.is very important because obviously if they meet any other dogs, any
:15:07. > :15:12.people or go to any strange land, farmland, they will be liable or
:15:13. > :15:17.able to catch any diseases, anything that puppy can go down with. Dog
:15:18. > :15:23.theft is on the increase in Kent with 87 reported cases last year,
:15:24. > :15:27.double the previous year. It is easy to sell a cute looking dog,
:15:28. > :15:30.particularly puppies. Some of them are actually taken for working
:15:31. > :15:35.purposes so we have seen a huge increase in the theft of working
:15:36. > :15:39.dogs in the last year or so. It is financial. Other items were stolen
:15:40. > :15:43.from the farm but the family say it is the puppies that are
:15:44. > :15:46.irreplaceable. This is our top story tonight: An
:15:47. > :15:49.organised criminal gang that trafficked scores of vulnerable
:15:50. > :15:52.women into the south`east for sex has been found guilty, in a
:15:53. > :15:55.unanimous verdict at Hove Crown Court.
:15:56. > :15:59.The group installed the young Hungarian women in brothels and
:16:00. > :16:04.hotels across Kent and Sussex. They'll be sentenced tomorrow.
:16:05. > :16:08.Also in tonight's programme: It was the role that drove him to drink,
:16:09. > :16:15.now the actor who played Curly Watts wants to open an alcohol free pub in
:16:16. > :16:19.Brighton. After another day of squally
:16:20. > :16:22.showers, the good news is it is a dry start to the day tomorrow but it
:16:23. > :16:31.will not stay that way. Join me later for the forecast.
:16:32. > :16:33.The Chief Executive of Gatwick apologised today as he explained the
:16:34. > :16:36.unprecedented delays that left hundreds of passengers stranded at
:16:37. > :16:40.the airport on Christmas Eve. Stewart Wingate told MPs he was very
:16:41. > :16:43.sorry for the chaos caused when floods knocked out power at the
:16:44. > :16:48.airport, forcing the closure of one terminal and cancelling 67 flights.
:16:49. > :16:52.Well, let's cross to Westminster and speak to our reporter Mark Sanders.
:16:53. > :16:55.Mark, we heard today for the first time about how little warning
:16:56. > :17:04.Gatwick said it had about the flooding. Well, Gatwick was prepared
:17:05. > :17:09.for high winds but it did not expect the river to flood. The chief
:17:10. > :17:13.executive revealed today that at 4:15am on Christmas Eve Gatwick was
:17:14. > :17:16.given just half an hour's notice that the river would flood and it
:17:17. > :17:22.was that flooding that caused so much disruption. It was a chaotic
:17:23. > :17:26.Christmas Eve at Gatwick with flooding causing power failures in
:17:27. > :17:30.the North terminal. Flights were cancelled and delayed but the travel
:17:31. > :17:33.plans of many passengers were ruined. We arrived and there was no
:17:34. > :17:37.information on the board said to wait for half an hour before there
:17:38. > :17:41.would be more information that continued for six or seven hours.
:17:42. > :17:45.Eventually we got called to a gate and we arrived at big eight and then
:17:46. > :17:52.they told us that there were no buses to take us to the plane. MPs
:17:53. > :17:54.wanted to know what went wrong and how the airport dealt with
:17:55. > :17:58.distressed passengers. We are hearing people left for 12 hours
:17:59. > :18:02.with no heating and just one hot drink and one toilet for thousands
:18:03. > :18:07.of people. It seems that your communication just collapsed. The
:18:08. > :18:11.boss of Gatwick said he was very sorry for what had happened but the
:18:12. > :18:14.airport had worked hard to get people onto flights by the South
:18:15. > :18:20.terminal but it acknowledged there had been failings. We fell short but
:18:21. > :18:24.we did so in trying to get as many of our passengers to our Christmas
:18:25. > :18:27.destinations as we possibly could. On any other day we would have
:18:28. > :18:35.cancelled significantly more flights earlier in the day. The power was
:18:36. > :18:38.out for about 35 hours and of the 238 surge or departures 67 were
:18:39. > :18:44.cancelled. Gatwick has offered compensation in the form of shopping
:18:45. > :18:47.vouchers to those passengers whose flights were cancelled. Gatwick is
:18:48. > :18:52.conducting its own enquiry into why things went so badly wrong. The
:18:53. > :18:56.issue of a second runway at Gatwick was raised at the hearing with one
:18:57. > :19:01.MP suggesting that the chaos seen at Christmas had damaged the case for a
:19:02. > :19:05.potential second runway at Gatwick. The chief executive replied there
:19:06. > :19:08.was still an exceptional case for a second runway at Gatwick. Not an
:19:09. > :19:13.easy couple of weeks for the airport.
:19:14. > :19:16.Thank you very much. In Coronation Street the character
:19:17. > :19:20.Curly Watts was often seen drinking in The Rovers with his on`screen
:19:21. > :19:25.wife Racquel. But in reality the actor who played him, Kevin Kennedy,
:19:26. > :19:28.was heavily dependant on alcohol. Kevin's now been sober for more than
:19:29. > :19:32.a decade. He's moved to Brighton and told us he now he wants to give
:19:33. > :19:41.something back by setting up a dry bar in the city for others in
:19:42. > :19:46.recovery. Rebecca Williams met him. Hello. Hello, can I get you a
:19:47. > :19:51.drink? He became a household name playing Curly Watts in Coronation
:19:52. > :19:55.Street but off`screen Kevin Kennedy grew increasingly dependent on
:19:56. > :19:59.alcohol. He has now been sober for 16 years and has decided to set up a
:20:00. > :20:07.dry bar in his new home town of Brighton. It will be SA plays for
:20:08. > :20:12.people to go, people in recovery and people not in recovery. `` a safe
:20:13. > :20:16.place. They can enjoy an evening without any pressure. It will also
:20:17. > :20:21.debunk a lot of myths about recovery and any secrecy that might surround
:20:22. > :20:25.it. The idea was inspired by a similar dry bar that opened in
:20:26. > :20:29.Liverpool in 2012. Kevin and his wife who also had a drink and drugs
:20:30. > :20:36.problem plan to employ former prisoners and those who have been in
:20:37. > :20:40.long`term recovery. We want to give opportunities for those people to
:20:41. > :20:43.get re`educated and retrained. In our communities we need places that
:20:44. > :20:48.people can get free educated. Recovery is just the tip of an
:20:49. > :20:53.iceberg. Once you get into recovery, it is then what. This man knows how
:20:54. > :20:58.difficult recovery can be. He went for a top job as a national
:20:59. > :21:03.broadcaster to Livingston `` living on the streets of home. He wishes
:21:04. > :21:06.similar help was available when he needed it. Alcoholism is a very
:21:07. > :21:10.lonely business. You feel as though you are the only person suffering
:21:11. > :21:14.from it so too have had a place like this where I could have gone along
:21:15. > :21:18.and said that I do this and I have a quarter of a bottle of vodka to get
:21:19. > :21:22.the day going and am I alone? I would have felt a lot of community
:21:23. > :21:29.and fellowship I think in a pub like that. Curly Watts, I used to do a
:21:30. > :21:32.paper ran for you. From the cobbles of Coronation Street to the bright
:21:33. > :21:36.lights of Brighton, Kevin and Claire Hope that venture will be up and
:21:37. > :21:40.running in the next few months. It's a daunting prospect to make a movie
:21:41. > :21:42.about an iconic figure in history. So imagine how the Sussex
:21:43. > :21:47.screenwriter William Nicholson felt when he was asked to put words into
:21:48. > :21:50.the mouth of Nelson Mandela. William, who lives near Lewes, has
:21:51. > :21:55.spent the past 16 years working on Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, which
:21:56. > :21:58.was released on Friday. He's written plenty of other Hollywood
:21:59. > :22:02.blockbusters ` including Les Mis, Gladiator and Shadowlands. We'll be
:22:03. > :22:12.chatting to him in a moment but first let's take a look at his
:22:13. > :22:21.latest work. Do you always accept lifts from strangers? You are not a
:22:22. > :22:35.stranger. You are Nelson Mandela. This is your final warning! I am not
:22:36. > :22:42.breaking any laws. Something has to change. For 15 years we have been
:22:43. > :22:45.talking peace and nonviolence. If the Blacks take over, the country is
:22:46. > :22:50.finished. What is it that you personally want? I have beautiful
:22:51. > :22:55.children and a beautiful wife and I want them to walk free in their own
:22:56. > :23:03.land. The situation on the streets is out of control. The accused are
:23:04. > :23:07.responsible for acts of sabotage with the intention of overthrowing
:23:08. > :23:12.the government. Nelson Mandela, do you plead guilty or not guilty? It
:23:13. > :23:16.is not buy but the government that should plead guilty. Well, William
:23:17. > :23:21.Nicholson joins us now. You spent 16 years working on this
:23:22. > :23:27.film and the night of the premier was the night that the death of
:23:28. > :23:31.Nelson Mandela was announced. It was completely surreal. I was in the
:23:32. > :23:33.Royal Gallery, the place where the royal family were and they were
:23:34. > :23:37.sitting in front of me and then as the film ended there was this
:23:38. > :23:40.scuffling and people started getting up and I did not know what they were
:23:41. > :23:44.doing because I thought it was not polite to leave when the credits
:23:45. > :23:48.were rolling and then I was told that he had just died. His daughters
:23:49. > :23:55.had been in the cinema and I looked around and they had gone. I did not
:23:56. > :24:01.even ever know if this movie would get made and then finally we made it
:24:02. > :24:04.and then he died. You made it very clear that you did not want it to be
:24:05. > :24:10.about him as a saint, you wanted it to be about him as a role model and
:24:11. > :24:13.about his infidelities and his wife and his failed managers. If you
:24:14. > :24:16.watch tell the story of someone's life, why bother if they are an
:24:17. > :24:20.angel and they are not a real person. Film is all about engagement
:24:21. > :24:25.and identification with the characters. Even if it is about a
:24:26. > :24:37.real person you have to engage. Reality is imperative. Anybody's
:24:38. > :24:41.life that you tell, there will be a dark side of it. Of course that had
:24:42. > :24:44.to be there. This is also a journey, it is a man who grows and changes
:24:45. > :24:47.and that is what is so moving. You went to Robben Island and you met
:24:48. > :24:50.the family but you never got to meet the man himself? I was supposed to
:24:51. > :24:54.meet on my first trip but then I had a car crash and I could not made him
:24:55. > :24:57.but then after that I felt I did not want to meet him because you have to
:24:58. > :25:02.create a character for a film, it is only 2.5 hours and the more you know
:25:03. > :25:07.about the real person the more you struggle so I thought, why do I not
:25:08. > :25:11.read everything and talk about him with all the people that knew him
:25:12. > :25:16.and create the guy for the movie. Also, you are putting words in his
:25:17. > :25:20.mouth and that is slightly awkward! Well, people think that... Of
:25:21. > :25:24.course, I have made it all up. How does anybody know what he said to
:25:25. > :25:28.Winnie when they were courting and falling in love and imprisoned. We
:25:29. > :25:32.do not know. That is my job to make it all up. To be honest, the
:25:33. > :25:36.speeches are very constructed for the film because the real speeches
:25:37. > :25:41.go on for four hours. You cannot just edit them. In the end it is an
:25:42. > :25:47.act of dramatic imagination. Where do you go from here? Well, I do many
:25:48. > :25:51.things, I write novels as well. I have just written a movie about the
:25:52. > :25:55.discovery of Tutankhamen. I have to tell you, this is the most thrilling
:25:56. > :25:59.thing I have ever done. Many of us look forward to seeing very much.
:26:00. > :26:01.Thank you very much. Now it is time to have a look at the
:26:02. > :26:03.weather and we Now it is time to have a look at
:26:04. > :26:06.have another night of wet stuff to come?
:26:07. > :26:10.That is right. Another night of heavy rainfall. We had squally
:26:11. > :26:13.showers around today and we have rain tonight and tomorrow but the
:26:14. > :26:17.good news is that over the next couple of days the trend is for
:26:18. > :26:21.things to quieten down. We have more dry weather and the wind will ease
:26:22. > :26:30.off. It will feel cooler `` older by Friday. At the weekend the wind will
:26:31. > :26:40.ease off. Temperatures have been quite mild. Tonight there is more
:26:41. > :26:43.heavy rain and strong wind on the south coast but the rain will move

:26:49. > :26:52.tomorrow as you can tell from the isobars. The wind will continue to
:26:53. > :26:57.ease off and it will not be staying dry but you're in daylight hours we

:27:03. > :27:07.degrees. The wind has really eased off. Tomorrow night we have further
:27:08. > :27:10.heavy rain and all of us will see it heavy rain and all of us will see it

:27:19. > :27:21.the ridge of high pressure that we have been talking about as we go
:27:22. > :27:23.into Thursday. The rain will clear through quickly. Temperatures only
:27:24. > :27:26.dropped to eight or nine degrees. Finally the ridge of high pressure
:27:27. > :27:29.that we have been talking about as we go into Thursday. The rainbow
:27:30. > :27:32.clear out of the way and we have a. More rain around but in the weekend
:27:33. > :27:36.it looks settled. High pressure will build.
:27:37. > :27:42.Roll on the weekend! That is it from all of us.
:27:43. > :27:43.I will be back with all the news this evening. From all of us
:27:44. > :28:10.goodbye. A tenth of a second
:28:11. > :28:13.could be the difference
