:00:10. > :00:12.Good afternoon. A row's broken out over whether a politician in the
:00:13. > :00:16.House of Lords, who's chairlan of the fracking company that w`nts to
:00:17. > :00:19.extract shale gas in Sussex, used his influence inappropriately. The
:00:20. > :00:23.Green MP for Brighton Pavilhon, Caroline Lucas, who was arrdsted at
:00:24. > :00:26.the site last summer, says Lord Browne was wrong to meet thd
:00:27. > :00:30.Environment Secretary last June Lucinda Adam has our report.
:00:31. > :00:33.Anti`fracking protesters including MP Caroline Lucas made clear their
:00:34. > :00:40.objections to Cuadrilla's drilling in Balcombe last summer. Now it has
:00:41. > :00:42.been revealed the fracking company's chairman Lord Browne, who also
:00:43. > :00:48.advises the government, called an urgent meeting with Environlent
:00:49. > :00:52.Secretary last June. Caroline Lucas thinks that was inappropriate. It
:00:53. > :00:56.looks as if he is influencing decisions. Looks like he is making
:00:57. > :01:01.meetings happen much quicker than they would otherwise. He has got the
:01:02. > :01:04.Environment Agency coming in looking like they are going to speed up a
:01:05. > :01:08.consultation process to the interest of Cuadrilla. It just smacks of far
:01:09. > :01:12.too much corporate lobbying, corporate influence over decisions
:01:13. > :01:15.of government. The meeting hncluded a discussion of Cuadrilla's planning
:01:16. > :01:17.permission with the County Council and the length of consultathon
:01:18. > :01:23.required to obtain European waste permits. Today, DEFRA said ht was
:01:24. > :01:26.not unusual from ministers to meet with senior people from companies
:01:27. > :01:32.like Cuadrilla, and Lord Browne said any meetings had taken placd in an
:01:33. > :01:35.appropriate way. Caroline Ltcas and four other Balcombe protestdrs go on
:01:36. > :01:42.trial on Monday to face charges of breaching public order.
:01:43. > :01:49.A cyclist has died in an accident with a car in Kent. It happdned just
:01:50. > :01:52.after four o'clock this morning on the Old Thanet Way, near Chdstfield.
:01:53. > :01:56.The 30`year`old man, who thd police say is from the Ashford are`, died
:01:57. > :01:59.at the scene. A woman has bden arrested on suspicion of catsing
:02:00. > :02:03.death by dangerous driving. Police have appealed for anyone who may
:02:04. > :02:07.have seen a blue Peugeot 206 in the area at the time to contact them.
:02:08. > :02:11.In the early hours of this lorning, the collision occurred. I would like
:02:12. > :02:14.to speak to anyone that saw the blue Peugeot being driven in the local
:02:15. > :02:17.area and leaving the Herne Bay Area and travelling on the old Thanet
:02:18. > :02:21.Way. Manston Airport CAN be saved. That's
:02:22. > :02:24.the message from the leader of Kent County Council this weekend. We
:02:25. > :02:27.revealed on Thursday that the airport in East Kent could close
:02:28. > :02:29.within three weeks. But spe`king to Julia George on tomorrow's Sunday
:02:30. > :02:33.Politics programme, Councillor Paul Carter says he believes that could
:02:34. > :02:37.be avoided if the right support is offered quickly.
:02:38. > :02:39.I have always said it is ond of the biggest potential drivers of
:02:40. > :02:42.increasing significantly employment in East Kent and East Kent needs
:02:43. > :02:50.more employment opportunitids, so enormously sad. We need to work with
:02:51. > :02:53.the new owners and the government. Football and in the Championship,
:02:54. > :02:58.Brighton lost 2`0 at home to Ipswich and remain outside of the play`off
:02:59. > :03:02.places. Meanwhile Charlton lost 3`0 to Burnley with another blow in
:03:03. > :03:05.their campaign to avoid reldgation. And it wasn't much better in League
:03:06. > :03:10.One, Gillingham were beaten 3`1 by Crewe and Crawley, who travdlled to
:03:11. > :03:14.Oldham, were defeated 1`0. Now the weather.
:03:15. > :03:19.Hello, good evening. It has been a day of sunshine and showers today.
:03:20. > :03:23.We will see something very similar into tomorrow too. The showdrs
:03:24. > :03:27.rumbling along for a while before it turns drier into the second half of
:03:28. > :03:31.the night. The wind dropping down a touch. Watch out for icy stretches
:03:32. > :03:37.on roads and pavements into tomorrow morning along with the rural frost.
:03:38. > :03:41.Overnight lows into single figures. A chilly start to the day tomorrow.
:03:42. > :03:44.Another day of sunny spells with some showers. The wind will change
:03:45. > :03:49.direction from a north`westdrly so you will see the heavier showers
:03:50. > :03:55.towards northern areas. Somd good spells of brightness and sunshine in
:03:56. > :03:58.between. Still a brisk wind and temperatures, below average for this
:03:59. > :04:03.time of year, not as mild as last Sunday. Highs of eight or nhne
:04:04. > :04:08.degrees Celsius, perhaps ten degrees you're the south coast. That is 50
:04:09. > :04:11.Fahrenheit. As the skies cldar on Sunday night, a widespread frost to
:04:12. > :04:13.start the working week. Mostly dry on Monday, unsettled on Tuesday and
:04:14. > :04:24.Wednesday. Before we go, join us next week if
:04:25. > :04:29.you can, when our correspondent Colin Campbell has a special series
:04:30. > :04:34.of reports looking at the ddsperate measures that migrants take to cross
:04:35. > :04:38.the Channel to Kent. This is the approach to the ferry terminal. We
:04:39. > :04:43.have seen scores of migrants, they have been quite brazenly trxing to
:04:44. > :04:46.break into the trucks. Under constant attack from all
:04:47. > :04:50.directions, the driver is s`y there is little they can do. You think,
:04:51. > :04:55.will they fall underneath the lorry, will they try to get in the back of
:04:56. > :04:59.the lorry? You do not know what they will do.
:05:00. > :05:03.More on that on the programle on Monday and Tuesday at 1:30pl and
:05:04. > :05:23.6:30pm, from everyone here today, good evening.
:05:24. > :05:34.The Wind a lot showers around at the moment, still hale and thunder too.
:05:35. > :05:38.As we turn the wind north-westerly, these areas will bear the brunt of
:05:39. > :05:45.the showers overnight. A chilly night, a touch of frost in rural
:05:46. > :05:49.areas. A few showers first thing. Sunshine too. Cloud will bubble up
:05:50. > :05:53.and showers will develop in England and Wales. The main focus in the
:05:54. > :05:57.afternoon is an eastern areas. Across Wales and the south-west
:05:58. > :06:03.very few showers all day. The north-westerly wind lines the
:06:04. > :06:05.showers up in the afternoon. East Anglia and parts of Lincolnshire and
