:01:19. > :01:21.national in the country. Thd jihadist, known as Abu Sulehman
:01:22. > :01:24.al`Britani, caused a massivd explosion at a prison in Aldppo last

:01:57. > :02:02.armoured truck towards a pldasant last week where it's detonated in
:02:03. > :02:09.massive explosion. It freed up to 300 inmates from the pleasant. It is
:02:10. > :02:14.very concerning that the suhcide bomber last Thursday appears to be
:02:15. > :02:20.from this part of Sussex. I think the UK government architect to seek
:02:21. > :02:24.to prohibit all but official travel to Syria as a result. It is not the

:03:41. > :03:46.counterterrorism unit to further their enquiries. Reliable sources

:03:55. > :03:59.and that his family still lhve in the area. They say he went to Syria
:04:00. > :04:03.as a volunteer aid worker. They were not clear that rate when he had gone
:04:04. > :04:08.but they said that no one h`d heard from him since. Police say that

:05:24. > :05:26.have not seen something likd this already because of the full whether
:05:27. > :05:32.we have been softening. I stppose we will see more in the future. The
:05:33. > :05:36.exact cause is not clear, hhghways agency inspectors are at work trying
:05:37. > :05:39.to term and how much the we`ther was to blame but they are also looking
:05:40. > :05:42.to see whether there could be any kind of structural or geological
:05:43. > :05:46.problem. It is believed that was bec`use when
:05:47. > :05:52.the family car disappeared hnto a single at high Wycombe earlher this

:12:34. > :12:38.wrong was when they discovered his home open with a bustle of water and
:12:39. > :12:44.a half eaten meal later that morning. It is very difficult
:12:45. > :12:50.because we can't get closurd on this and nobody can accept, it is such a

:12:59. > :13:02.It is likely that he is going to be severely handicapped for thd rest of

:16:19. > :16:22.only to reinstate it, both for the defence purposes but also for
:16:23. > :16:28.immunity purposes. I said I want something with a sea view. He found
:16:29. > :16:34.something for me. Does living this close to the beach worry hil? Saints
:16:35. > :16:41.to be honest, the agency guxs out there, they are moving the shingle
:16:42. > :16:44.around an awful lot. I am not quite sure how often, I think a couple of
:16:45. > :16:47.times a year it needs to be done. At the moment the do it almost
:16:48. > :16:52.constantly so I think it is reasonably safe. He said hopefully.
:16:53. > :16:56.The Sussex coast has been b`ttled for more than a month. In J`nuary
:16:57. > :17:04.there was a spectacular cliff fall in Hastings. Home I got! And one

:17:12. > :17:17.The environment agency insists the beach the ability to defend the town
:17:18. > :17:21.in the 1980s is working. We have a very strong concrete sea wall and a
:17:22. > :17:25.large shingle beach in front. We have lost some material as ` result
:17:26. > :17:29.of the storm which is a sign of the defence is having worked as we need

:18:29. > :18:33.everything. In the movie thd journey starts in Normandy, in real life it
:18:34. > :18:39.was camber Sands and tonight was the UK premiere. It was not just that I
:18:40. > :18:42.was trying to destroy, he w`s not trying just only to kill evdryone
:18:43. > :18:47.and take their land, he was trying to destroy their culture and ensure
:18:48. > :18:51.they did not exist. George Clooney has become part of modern ctlture
:18:52. > :18:57.and was mobbed by fans when he stayed during the filming. His
:18:58. > :19:01.co`stars said they had a grdat time on location. When you get into an
:19:02. > :19:04.ensemble like this and you `re working about two days per week it
:19:05. > :19:08.is really fun. We all just kept remaining one another to smdll the
:19:09. > :19:13.roses and appreciate the fact that we were in a really great movie with
:19:14. > :19:19.a director who was great and had everything under control and we just
:19:20. > :19:23.laughed a lot, basically. I seem to have stepped on a landmine. Why
:19:24. > :19:37.would you have done something like that? It is just the spirit of
:19:38. > :19:44.everyone, everyone was very respectful towards each othdr, we
:19:45. > :19:51.appreciated each other. I w`s very grateful to be cast in this film,

:22:06. > :22:08.it's about a few old people who are dinosaurs not really keeping
:22:09. > :22:11.up`to`date with the game. It does seem extraordinary that somdthing so

:23:32. > :23:36.the dogs trust means the bundles of fire after athletes competing in
:23:37. > :23:40.Russia. We knew the time of year coming up and because she is a husky
:23:41. > :23:44.cross we thought that would be a great way of getting the public
:23:45. > :23:48.attention, both on the dogs we have here and getting into the spirit of
:23:49. > :23:53.the Olympics as well. Mum w`sn't left out either, found wanddring
:23:54. > :24:00.around Canterbury she has bden given the name of Sochi after the Russian

:24:32. > :24:35.the store to it here but we have so far is rain. These Olympic stars
:24:36. > :24:41.will be ready for their new homes in three weeks time, but beward, they
:24:42. > :24:48.are probably going to be quhte big. Each of them has put on one kilo in
:24:49. > :24:52.the past seven days. It is ` dogs life and looks like it might be
:24:53. > :24:59.downhill all the because mul has a new home. And it won't be long
:25:00. > :25:03.before her puppies have one, too. They are just lovely! Let's check on
:25:04. > :25:14.the weather. It is going to stay very wet and
:25:15. > :25:17.windy over the next couple of days, particularly for tomorrow, dxpect

:26:00. > :26:05.or eight degrees. That has been fuelling a good site cooler than
:26:06. > :26:11.that. Tonight the wind will strengthen and this is what we will
:26:12. > :26:14.see tomorrow. The blustery `nd cold night so we could see those showers
:26:15. > :26:18.turning when the over higher ground. Temperatures dropping to
:26:19. > :26:21.around one or two degrees, lopping below freezing, probably. The touch
