:00:33. > :00:36.Wish you were here? Brighton has been savouring the sunshine and the
:00:37. > :00:40.city has been buzzing, more people out of this weekend has been great
:00:41. > :00:47.for business. It is a welcole boost for early season, we don't normally
:00:48. > :00:52.get this kind of boost this early. The good weather has been vdry good
:00:53. > :00:55.for us, we are doing a lot lore than usual, it has been an awful winter
:00:56. > :01:01.and we heart `` we hope things will pick up. The South East has been
:01:02. > :01:05.sparkling in the sunshine. Ht is not just the coast but has had the good
:01:06. > :01:13.weather, inland people have been enjoying be out doors as well after
:01:14. > :01:20.a miserable winter. I am done for the weekend, visiting my girlfriend.
:01:21. > :01:37.It is nice to get out, have the sun on your face and sit on the beach.
:01:38. > :01:46.It is here drinking weather. `` beer. It is expected the fine
:01:47. > :01:50.weather will extend into thhs coming week.
:01:51. > :01:53.A Chatham father who went mhssing with his young son yesterdax evening
:01:54. > :01:56.is still missing, even though the 14`month`old has since been found
:01:57. > :02:00.safe and well. Mark Henry D`llas was last seen in the Wakefield Road area

:02:20. > :02:21.Police are hunting two men following an early morning robbery at a
:02:22. > :02:35.newsagent's in Chatham. Says it supports the propos`ls for
:02:36. > :02:37.the Weald of Kent Grammar in Tonbridge. Last year the Edtcation
:02:38. > :02:40.Secretary, Michael Gove, told the school they could not extend into
:02:41. > :02:43.Sevenoaks, as they were single`sex and the proposed annexe was mixed.
:02:44. > :02:46.One of the stumbling blocks was that you had a single sex school putting
:02:47. > :02:52.forward a proposal for a coeducational annex. Clearlx this
:02:53. > :02:57.would deal with that. There is a great need for more selective school
:02:58. > :03:02.provision in West and and it is a huge anomaly that Sevenoaks does not
:03:03. > :03:06.have a grammar school of its own. Charlton's FA Cup hopes havd been `
:03:07. > :03:09.after a 2`0 defeat away to Sheffield United this afternoon. It w`s a

:03:17. > :03:22.league this season. 5000 fans made the march north to
:03:23. > :03:26.the steel city, defying the travel problems caused by the earlx
:03:27. > :03:31.kick`off, in hope of cheering Charlton to a third cup semhfinal.
:03:32. > :03:36.After a first half deadlock which proved how much was at stakd,
:03:37. > :03:42.Charlton's dreams were an done in three minutes of second half mayhem.
:03:43. > :03:51.This is off target strike triggered this response to the Blades. `` from
:03:52. > :04:01.the Blades. Charlton's pain was doubled moments later, the keeper
:04:02. > :04:05.wrong`footed by this deflected shot. A huge disappointment for everybody
:04:06. > :04:10.connected with Charlton. It was a big opportunity for both te`ms and
:04:11. > :04:16.sadly we could just not takd it A lot of fans came up north and sadly
:04:17. > :04:28.we just couldn't give them what they wanted. Chris Powell and his charges
:04:29. > :04:31.are now left to contemplate the Championship.
:04:32. > :04:34.In the rest of the weekend's football action, Brighton drew `1
:04:35. > :04:38.at home to Reading. The Albhon were helped by an own goal from Reading's
:04:39. > :04:40.captain, Chris Gunter, in the first half, but failed to score
:04:41. > :04:43.themselves. Elsewhere it was good news for Gillingham in their South
:04:44. > :04:45.East derby against Crawley, Charlie Lee scoring the only goal of the
:04:46. > :04:57.game in the last few minutes. It has been a lovely day today with
:04:58. > :05:03.lots of sunshine around and some very high temperatures, just shy of
:05:04. > :05:07.21 in grade `` in Gravesend today. Overnight it will stay dry, lots of
:05:08. > :05:12.clear skies and temperatures between five and seven. As we start the
:05:13. > :05:20.working week it is dry, right, some spells of sunshine through the
:05:21. > :05:24.morning but clouding over. Southern coastal areas will see the same sort
:05:25. > :05:28.of temperatures as today but on the eastern coast you might start to
:05:29. > :05:33.feel this north`easterly wind kick in with a different feel to things
:05:34. > :05:38.and not as much sunshine either Some more sunshine into next week,
:05:39. > :05:42.high pressure in charge, so some settled weather. It will st`y dry
:05:43. > :05:48.but not quite the same amount of sunshine. Variable cloud at times
:05:49. > :05:54.and possibly some quite chilly, even frosty nights.
:05:55. > :05:58.That is it for the moment. We will be back with your late update at
:05:59. > :06:18.around 10:15pm. Aggro in good and Wales had warm
:06:19. > :06:22.weather today with the hotspot Gravesend in Kent.
:06:23. > :06:26.For Scotland and Ireland, your weather will improve this week. It
:06:27. > :06:31.wasn't there today with the cloud. Some rain in Northern Ireland
:06:32. > :06:36.pushing across more of Scotland and the next few hours. This weather
:06:37. > :06:42.front is moving south overnight but by the end of the night is nothing
:06:43. > :06:46.more than a bit of cloud. Behind it, skies clear by the end of the
:06:47. > :06:51.night in Scotland and Northern Ireland, so a touch of frost, patchy
:06:52. > :06:55.ice and fog. Tomorrow brings a complete reversal of fortunes. The
:06:56. > :06:59.northern half of the UK will be sunny once any patchy fog clears
:07:00. > :07:04.away. Not much warmer numerically but in the sunshine, it will feel
:07:05. > :07:08.warmer, whereas much of England and Wales will be cloudy and cooler
:07:09. > :07:14.compared to today, especially along the North Sea coast, with cloud and
:07:15. > :07:15.a brisk north-easterly wind. Where we saw 19 degrees today, it
