:00:11. > :00:13.Good afternoon. As several flood warnings remains in place across the
:00:14. > :00:16.South East, and with more stormy weather on the way, farmers on the
:00:17. > :00:23.Romney Marsh are complaining that not enough has been done to maintain
:00:24. > :00:25.the area properly. Some farls in the area have suffered ruined crops
:00:26. > :00:28.waterlogged fields and clogged waterways. The Environment @gency
:00:29. > :00:31.says it's putting in extra pumps but severe weather and high watdr levels
:00:32. > :00:37.have prevented it from carrxing out planned desilting work.
:00:38. > :00:42.I think there could be a case for using the money a bit better than
:00:43. > :00:46.they do. If they get togethdr with the local farmers' unions and the
:00:47. > :00:49.drainage boards and get up ` list of priorities for the work that is
:00:50. > :00:53.considered priority work and get on with that for a start. Maintenance
:00:54. > :00:57.has got to be high priority. We ve got a good system here in place it
:00:58. > :01:00.just needs looking after and maintaining.
:01:01. > :01:03.The Southeastern train servhce between Battle and Robertsbridge is
:01:04. > :01:06.not expected to resume until the last week of February. The line was
:01:07. > :01:09.closed following two landslhps due to the recent bad weather.
:01:10. > :01:13.Replacement bus services ard currently running to replacd trains
:01:14. > :01:17.between the two stations. Ndtwork Rail say they are bringing hn 1 ,000
:01:18. > :01:21.tonnes of stone to rebuild the embankment at Whatlington Vhaduct,
:01:22. > :01:25.one of the landslip sites. Three of the South East's ldague
:01:26. > :01:27.clubs will be in action this afternoon and hoping for victory
:01:28. > :01:29.after some recent disappointing results, while Crawley's gale
:01:30. > :01:36.against Brentford has been called off because of a waterlogged pitch.
:01:37. > :01:40.Neil Bell reports. In the Championship, just one win in
:01:41. > :01:44.their last five games has ptt a dent in Brighton's promotion hopds. They
:01:45. > :01:47.go into today's game in ninth place, seven points off the play`off
:01:48. > :01:50.places. Hopefully a return to home turf and victory over Doncaster
:01:51. > :01:54.Rovers will provide the victory they need. Charlton's form is evdn more
:01:55. > :01:58.disappointing with just one win in the last 11 league games. They take
:01:59. > :02:01.on Birmingham at the Valley with the worst goal`scoring record in the
:02:02. > :02:04.division and must hope the likes of Johnnie Jackson can recover their
:02:05. > :02:07.goal`scoring touch. Gillingham's away form has been disappointing and
:02:08. > :02:10.they will be looked for an improvement at Carlisle with much
:02:11. > :02:14.depending on inform striker Cody McDonald.
:02:15. > :02:17.That is an area that we are really concentrating on because as much as
:02:18. > :02:20.we've got important home matches against teams down there with us,
:02:21. > :02:28.we've got to help ourselves get a bit of space by getting somd away
:02:29. > :02:34.wins. So that is in our thotghts, without a doubt.
:02:35. > :02:43.Time for the weather. Good afternoon. I'm afraid there's
:02:44. > :02:46.more restless weather to cole in the days ahead and The Met Office have
:02:47. > :02:50.got a yellow warning in place for both rain and wind for Kent and
:02:51. > :02:55.Sussex until six o'clock tolorrow morning. This afternoon, less in the
:02:56. > :02:58.way of sunshine and more in the way of these showers and it will be
:02:59. > :03:04.getting heavier perhaps with some hail and thunder in there. Those
:03:05. > :03:08.strong south`westerly winds really kicking on later on in the day with
:03:09. > :03:13.gusts of 60, maybe up to 70 miles per hour on the exposed are` of the
:03:14. > :03:21.coastline. The showers getthng heavier through the night as well.
:03:22. > :03:28.Tomorrow, we have another whndy day ahead of us with more of those heavy
:03:29. > :03:31.showers once more. Tonight we're looking at 10`15 millimetres of rain
:03:32. > :03:36.and, obviously, any rain isn't welcome at the moment. Mond`y, the
:03:37. > :03:45.winds die down a little but, Tuesday, The Met Office havd another
:03:46. > :03:47.weather warning for rain. If you have a story you think we
:03:48. > :03:56.should be covering, do get hn touch. Asset for the moment. We will be
:03:57. > :04:12.back just after 7pm. evening. -- the winds will ease
:04:13. > :04:17.Good afternoon. It is yet another stormy day to day with heavy rain
:04:18. > :04:21.around and very strong winds. The Met office has issued an amber
:04:22. > :04:26.warning for the strong winds. They could be disruptive and damaging.
:04:27. > :04:30.This is the latest in a string of storms that we have seen this
:04:31. > :04:36.winter. For southern England, this looks like one of the wettest
:04:37. > :04:40.winters for 250 years. Scotland saw the wettest December 4/100 years.
:04:41. > :04:46.Low pressure well in charge of things at the moment, drifting
