:00:14. > :00:17.Good afternoon. Hundreds of people have attended a meeting in Dast Kent
:00:18. > :00:22.called to rally opposition to the proposed closure of Manston Airport.
:00:23. > :00:25.It was announced last week that a consultation is underway to close
:00:26. > :00:36.the Thanet business, with the loss of 144 jobs. Local residents and
:00:37. > :00:39.airport workers were at Acol Village Hall to hear an anonymous bty`out
:00:40. > :00:43.remains on the table but thdre's no deal as yet. I think we need it for
:00:44. > :00:46.our local area to take us into Europe. It's an area of deprivation.
:00:47. > :00:52.There are no jobs around here. They want to close that.
:00:53. > :01:00.And Co Council has been criticised... The delay meant the
:01:01. > :01:03.four`year`old spent nearly ` year living with different foster
:01:04. > :01:09.parents. The judge said the case had caused enormous concern. Not only
:01:10. > :01:14.was this little boy unnecessarily separated from his father and his
:01:15. > :01:19.family in Latvia, but it also has cost the council taxpayer a huge
:01:20. > :01:24.amount of money in payment hn foster care and also, because of the breach
:01:25. > :01:28.of duty of Kent County Council, they are now going to be liable to a
:01:29. > :01:32.claim for compensation. A gay couple from Brighton have
:01:33. > :01:35.become one of the first to legally marry in Britain. Andrew Wale and
:01:36. > :01:38.Neil Allard tied the knot jtst after midnight, when the legislathon came
:01:39. > :01:42.into force. They're also thd first couple to ever marry in the music
:01:43. > :01:49.room at Brighton's Pavillion. Our reporter Charlie Rose was there
:01:50. > :01:54.12 minutes past midnight and the words they had been longing to hear.
:01:55. > :02:02.Legally married. Congratulations to you both! It's extraordinarx that we
:02:03. > :02:08.are able to do this in this country, in this town which is
:02:09. > :02:12.broad`minded and exclusive `` inclusive. We hope it is a sign of
:02:13. > :02:17.other places in a world which aren't so lucky. This today has bedn the
:02:18. > :02:20.pinnacle of my career in registration. No day will h`ve a
:02:21. > :02:26.better this. Civil partnerships were introduced
:02:27. > :02:30.in 2005 but Andrew and Neil are among the first same`sex cotple to
:02:31. > :02:35.get married as soon as the law allowed him to. The take`up of civil
:02:36. > :02:41.partnership was much higher than the government anticipated so wd can see
:02:42. > :02:45.they were popular. It didn't stop demands for full equality, full
:02:46. > :02:50.access to marriage. We can see it as a useful stepping stone but probably
:02:51. > :02:54.not the long`term solution. And as the happy couple began their married
:02:55. > :03:03.life, it was clear they had found happiness.
:03:04. > :03:09.Good afternoon. It is a bit of a treat for the weekend as we continue
:03:10. > :03:13.with this rather hazy sunshhne but also that onshore breeze. Not
:03:14. > :03:17.necessarily beach weather as it will be a couple of degrees cooldr along
:03:18. > :03:22.the coast. Plenty of sunshine and feeling much warmer than recently
:03:23. > :03:26.with highs of 16 or even 17 Celsius. Towards this evening, it will be a
:03:27. > :03:31.largely clear night inland. More in a way of mist and fog along the
:03:32. > :03:35.coast. Some of that mist will spread inland towards dawn with
:03:36. > :03:41.temperatures down to eight or nine Celsius. Tomorrow, a similar day.
:03:42. > :03:48.Slightly warmer. Temperaturds tomorrow could get up into the high
:03:49. > :03:53.teens. For the beginning of next week, it begins with milky sunshine,
:03:54. > :03:57.becoming wetter in the middle of the week.
:03:58. > :04:08.We are back just after 60 2pm. Until then, goodbye.
:04:09. > :04:15.Good afternoon. The clocks go forward by one hour tonight, British
:04:16. > :04:19.Summer Time begins. Hard to believe that this was the scene exactly one
:04:20. > :04:23.year ago in North Wales when we were in the grip of one of the coldest
:04:24. > :04:27.springs for many a decade. A different story this weekend, of
:04:28. > :04:30.course, with warm air wafting up from the near continent, and under
:04:31. > :04:34.clear skies the temperatures soaring. It is not clear everywhere,
:04:35. > :04:40.we have a lot of cloud further north and west, and with a damp start
:04:41. > :04:41.across some areas, that cloud is thinning and trickling
