:00:00. > :00:09.Good evening. The BBC has tonight learned that
:00:10. > :00:15.The North Thanet MP Sir Roger Gale says no deal has been made but the
:00:16. > :00:18.offer has been put forward by a reputable American company. Manston
:00:19. > :00:21.has tonight said it will consider any offer that is credible and
:00:22. > :00:25.viable. There have been concerns the airport would be forced to close
:00:26. > :00:26.after an offer was withdrawn last month.
:00:27. > :00:29.The new potential owners have given and occasionally will accepted due
:00:30. > :00:38.diligence already done. That is one hurdle already taken. Let's hope the
:00:39. > :00:45.legal implications can be dealt with swiftly. I would like to think and
:00:46. > :00:48.you can be struck and the paperwork can be finalised by the end of the
:00:49. > :00:51.month. The father`in`law of a soldier
:00:52. > :00:54.killed in a motorbike accident has called for what he says would be a
:00:55. > :00:57.simple but life`saving improvement to road safety. Corporal Terry
:00:58. > :01:00.Stevenson was making his daily ride home to Hastings from Maidstone
:01:01. > :01:04.Barracks when he came off his bike. It's believed he may have slipped on
:01:05. > :01:08.a manhole cover. Sara Smith reports. For Mike Cutler, it is hard to
:01:09. > :01:11.believe that a soldier who has seen service in both Iraq and Afghanistan
:01:12. > :01:16.should be killed during his regular journey home from work. It is hard
:01:17. > :01:19.to deal with that loss, under those circumstances, thinking of what
:01:20. > :01:26.Terry has done and what he has been through. Corporal Terry Stevenson
:01:27. > :01:32.was an experienced motorcyclist travelling, his inquest heard, well
:01:33. > :01:36.under the 50 mph speed limit. It has been impossible to work out exactly
:01:37. > :01:39.what happened, but it is thought he might have skidded on a manhole
:01:40. > :01:43.cover which had not been treated with a nonslip surface. On most
:01:44. > :01:49.motorways and major roads, they put on a coating over the manhole to
:01:50. > :01:54.make them nonslip. And yet it's the side roads that are the dangerous
:01:55. > :02:01.ones. And bike enthusiasts agree manhole covers are hazards that
:02:02. > :02:04.could easily be dealt with. If the technology is available, why isn't
:02:05. > :02:08.it being used? If it's tested and it is a safer option, even if it is
:02:09. > :02:11.just on a like`for`like replacement basis, and a new manhole cover needs
:02:12. > :02:19.replacing, why isn't it replaced as the safest possible option? Mike
:02:20. > :02:22.Cutler's daughter has been left a widow, his two`year`old
:02:23. > :02:31.granddaughter without a father. A soldier who had seen such dangers
:02:32. > :02:35.overseas killed so close to home. A Kent MP has welcomed the decision
:02:36. > :02:40.to ban the sale of legal highs at more than 20 UK music festivals, but
:02:41. > :02:43.he says they should all be illegal. Some festivals' websites, including
:02:44. > :02:47.T in the Park and Bestival, will go dark for a day tomorrow to highlight
:02:48. > :02:50.the danger of taking drugs. The Canterbury MP Julian Brazier says
:02:51. > :02:56.banning them at festivals is just part of the battle.
:02:57. > :02:59.Football now, and a stoppage time winner which sparked some remarkable
:03:00. > :03:02.scenes was enough to see Brighton Hove Albion through to Championship
:03:03. > :03:07.promotion play`offs for the second successive season. For much of the
:03:08. > :03:13.game, it was rivals Reading who were in pole position until Brighton's
:03:14. > :03:15.late winner. Despite the encouragement of
:03:16. > :03:18.Brighton's 2000 travelling fans, their promotion quest appeared all
:03:19. > :03:21.but over until, with only a couple of seconds to go, they launched one
:03:22. > :03:25.last attack. The celebrations after the strike will go down in Brighton
:03:26. > :03:27.folklore. And, moments later, the dramatic win, coupled with results
:03:28. > :03:35.elsewhere, confirmed their place in the play`offs. There was delight and
:03:36. > :03:38.relief for all involved. Very happy for the players and the fans,
:03:39. > :03:44.because they deserve it. I am very pleased to be their coach. A tense
:03:45. > :03:47.afternoon could hardly have got off to a worse start due to the
:03:48. > :03:51.goalkeeper's fumble, which gave Forest the lead. Brighton's fighting
:03:52. > :03:53.spirit has taken them a long way this season, and Stephen Ward
:03:54. > :03:57.restored hope with a well`taken second`half equaliser. Even so, with
:03:58. > :04:05.Reading drawing, a win for Brighton was vital. And they duly delivered,
:04:06. > :04:08.to give the club a welcome boost. With the momentum now behind them
:04:09. > :04:20.going into the play`offs, Brighton could be difficult to stop. Yes!
:04:21. > :04:22.Let's see how the weather is looking for bank all day Monday.
:04:23. > :04:26.Let's see how the weather is looking for bank all day It is almost like
:04:27. > :04:32.the weather does not notice a bank holiday. What a beautiful weekend it
:04:33. > :04:37.has been. More of the same in prospect tomorrow. Another dry day.
:04:38. > :04:40.For some, even warmer than today. As they go through the night tonight,
:04:41. > :04:47.clear skies. The temperatures will take a tumble. Like the last couple
:04:48. > :04:51.of nights, we will see ground frost, certainly if not an air frost in one
:04:52. > :04:57.or two spots, it will be cold in the countryside and close to freezing.
:04:58. > :05:00.As we start the day, good spells of sunshine and temperatures should up
:05:01. > :05:03.rather quickly under the sunshine. We will see high cloud advancing as
:05:04. > :05:09.we go through the afternoon, just turning their sunshine hazy and
:05:10. > :05:13.quite milky. By the end of the day, perhaps medium level cloud spilling
:05:14. > :05:16.towards us. 17 Celsius easily achievable. We could even get 18 or
:05:17. > :05:20.19 Celsius. Got some rain overnight 19 Celsius. Got some rain overnight
:05:21. > :05:26.into Tuesday and more unsettled as we go through this new working week.
:05:27. > :05:29.If you have a story you think we should be covering on South East
:05:30. > :05:40.today, we would like to hear from you. You can call us on the number
:05:41. > :05:46.on screen. That is all from me. I will be back at 10:15pm tonight.
:05:47. > :05:54.What you can join me. Goodbye. `` hope you can join me.
:05:55. > :06:00.Good evening. Today we have had the sunniest skies in the South whereas
:06:01. > :06:05.in the north it has been quite cloudy. Tomorrow, we switch things
:06:06. > :06:08.around. In the east we will have warm, hazy sunshine. In the west we
:06:09. > :06:09.will have the biggest
