Tonight's top stories: Eastbourne Hospital maternity services will be

:00:00.:00:15.

permanently downgraded, NHS bosses decide, despite a bitter public

:00:16.:00:18.

campaign against it over thd last eight years. We'll be live hn

:00:19.:00:21.

Eastbourne and Westminster with the details and reaction.

:00:22.:00:24.

Friends describe the death of a teenager in a fire in Margate as

:00:25.:00:27.

devastating. A man is arrested on suspicion of manslaughter. @lso in

:00:28.:00:35.

Such a lovely lad and a good boy. He really was.

:00:36.:00:43.

Attacked by a gang and left with serious head

:00:44.:00:45.

injuries, but the victim cl`ims Kent Police failed to take action. Rare

:00:54.:01:07.

It's been confirmed within the last 90 minutes that

:01:08.:01:19.

Eastbourne Hospital's maternity services will be downgraded.

:01:20.:01:22.

The announcement follows eight years of campaigning to try to kedp

:01:23.:01:25.

a full range of consultant`led services there.

:01:26.:01:28.

Instead, East Sussex NHS managers have confirmed there will bd just

:01:29.:01:31.

one specialist unit, in Hastings, with midwife`led units

:01:32.:01:35.

Mark, hospital bosses say this decision will make mothers

:01:36.:01:43.

and babies safer, but local campaigners are equally convinced it

:01:44.:01:47.

It was a very emotional meeting here in Eastbourne. One mother and

:01:48.:02:01.

campaigner was in tears durhng the meeting as she made her ple` to

:02:02.:02:06.

health bosses to keep consultant led maternity services in Eastbourne.

:02:07.:02:10.

Another campaigner during the meeting made this plea to the health

:02:11.:02:14.

bosses. You literally have people 's lives in your hands. This woman gave

:02:15.:02:22.

birth in a car. She was travelling from Eastbourne to Hastings because

:02:23.:02:25.

she needed the expertise of a consultant. No health bosses have

:02:26.:02:30.

agreed to temporarily switch consultant led maternity services

:02:31.:02:32.

from Eastbourne to Hastings will be permanent. It is headlined this ``

:02:33.:02:42.

renders. They do not understand it. I think they would say they are

:02:43.:02:46.

acting in the public interest. They can say that all they like. They

:02:47.:02:50.

will deny that it does not come down to money. It does. It always does.

:02:51.:02:56.

This ultimately is what the story is about, how best to ensure b`bies

:02:57.:03:02.

like Rory are safe. His mother says complications during heart labour in

:03:03.:03:07.

Eastbourne, with no consult`nt, she was transferred to Brighton. She is

:03:08.:03:12.

adamant Eastbourne needs a consultant led service. It hs vital.

:03:13.:03:18.

We are the fastest growing town in the county and there are so many

:03:19.:03:23.

babies being born. Schools have to go and it is crazy to take `way the

:03:24.:03:27.

place where they are born and children are treated. NHS bosses

:03:28.:03:31.

claim the changes make mums and babies safer. They say under the old

:03:32.:03:39.

system with consultants shared, there were 17 serious untow`rd

:03:40.:03:43.

incidents ever 4000 births. Since he switched last year to consultants

:03:44.:03:46.

and Hastings and a midwife only unit in Eastbourne, that figure has come

:03:47.:03:50.

down to five incidents per 4000 births. Campaigners in Eastbourne

:03:51.:03:56.

have been fighting for years to stop the town's maternity servicds being

:03:57.:04:01.

downgraded but today they lost. This is the best decision we could have

:04:02.:04:07.

come up with today. A lot of campaigners would disagree. One

:04:08.:04:11.

woman was in tears. This is extremely distressing. We h`ve to

:04:12.:04:14.

look at the circumstances and understand why they have happened

:04:15.:04:17.

and learn from those experidnces where learning is needed. These are

:04:18.:04:21.

the minority, the absolute linority. A tiny percentage of people give

:04:22.:04:26.

birth outside a hospital. Hdalth officials did agree to keep open the

:04:27.:04:31.

birthing centre controlled but campaigners in Eastbourne h`ve

:04:32.:04:35.

failed to get what they want. The clinical commissioning groups which

:04:36.:04:38.

made this decision acknowledged publicly it was a difficult decision

:04:39.:04:42.

to make but they believe it is the right one for East Sussex. They

:04:43.:04:46.

believe having a single consultant led maternity unit in Hastings will

:04:47.:04:51.

improve Haitian safety. `` patient safety. This is part of a whder

:04:52.:05:00.

programme across East Sussex and the wider country. Pitkennedy's

Hastings. Campaigners have claimed that NHS managers are delibdrately

:05:16.:05:18.

trying to downgrade hospital services in Eastbourne. We can go

:05:19.:05:22.

live to Westminster to speak to the Lib Dem MP for the town, Stdphen

:05:23.:05:29.

Lloyd. Thank you for joining us This has been a difficult ddcision

:05:30.:05:34.

for NHS managers to make. It has taken place over eight years.

:05:35.:05:38.

Basically it will leave constituents safer. Why would you continte to

:05:39.:05:45.

oppose it? It has been diffhcult. I am sure it has been. I have been

:05:46.:05:49.

involved in this from the beginning, even before I was

:05:50.:05:54.

elected. I am incredibly disappointed with the decishon. Let

:05:55.:05:58.

me explain why. People who do not live in our area may not be aware of

:05:59.:06:07.

the quite deplorable road ndtworks. Even with the blue light, it can

:06:08.:06:12.

take on average 45 minutes. I public transport, up to two hours. The

:06:13.:06:16.

situation on transport was the reason we first won this in 200

:06:17.:06:22.

when the last Secretary of State said they must be consultant led

:06:23.:06:25.

maternity in both sites bec`use of the infrastructure. At todax's

:06:26.:06:31.

meeting, one of the doctors acknowledged that the transport

:06:32.:06:33.

infrastructure was just as bad. However... However, under btdget

:06:34.:06:42.

constraints, which we have to admit there are, there is a belief that it

:06:43.:06:46.

is better to have this one consultant led unit where there are

:06:47.:06:50.

senior clinicians available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, r`ther

:06:51.:06:54.

than being spread more thinly across two bases with staff shortages.

:06:55.:07:01.

Every unit and hospital must be judged on its particular situation.

:07:02.:07:06.

I come back to the transport infrastructure. In Hastings and

:07:07.:07:10.

Eastbourne, it is deplorabld. Now, I and my campaign team, supporters and

:07:11.:07:17.

colleagues actually have profound doubts of the figures around safety

:07:18.:07:22.

compared to now as they werd before. Frankly, some of those safety issues

:07:23.:07:26.

could have been avoided if senior managers at the hospital at it in

:07:27.:07:30.

place what the independent panel actually asked all those ye`rs ago.

:07:31.:07:36.

Really disappointing decision. This has been an eight`year battle. You

:07:37.:07:42.

have said that yourself. Wh`t do you do now? Isn't it time that xou said,

:07:43.:07:47.

OK, let's work with NHS man`gers to make the best of it? There hs a

:07:48.:07:52.

meeting of the scrutiny comlittee on the 10th of July who have the

:07:53.:07:55.

ultimate sign off. They had a meeting looking at the constltation

:07:56.:07:58.

and I have to tell you that the vote was almost 6`5. `` only lost. If

:07:59.:08:08.

more councillors had joined my colleagues in asking for thhs to be

:08:09.:08:11.

revealed to the Secretary of State, we would not be here. But wd have a

:08:12.:08:15.

meeting on the 10th of July. I will be making one for the plea, Asil

:08:16.:08:22.

colleagues. What I want is something that serves the people Eastbourne.

:08:23.:08:28.

The previous interview reminded us that this does not make sense. We

:08:29.:08:32.

have to find a way through this and away that suits both parties.

:08:33.:08:37.

A man's been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter following the death

:08:38.:08:40.

of a teenager in an explosion at a gas cylinder company in Thanet.

:08:41.:08:43.

18`year`old Jarrad Swan died yesterday at Adams Gas Ltd,

:08:44.:08:45.

Friends have paid tribute to "a lovely lad" and say everxone who

:08:46.:08:51.

He was popular and known for his cheeky smile. He had been working

:08:52.:09:07.

since he left school just two years ago. Friends left flowers and cards

:09:08.:09:12.

to remember the 18`year`old outside the Margate business wiki dhgestive

:09:18.:09:26.

business where he worked. She would give anything to everyone. He would.

:09:27.:09:32.

His former school paid a glowing tribute. He was well liked by all

:09:33.:09:38.

and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family who must be

:09:39.:09:43.

devastated. Fire crews despdrately try to save the teenager as after he

:09:44.:09:48.

was rescued from an explosion at the gas plant. Neighbours reported

:09:49.:09:54.

hearing loud bangs before an explosion broke out. These loud

:09:55.:09:58.

bangs shook the room. There was quite a lot of smoke and a bad

:09:59.:10:04.

smell. It looked quite bad. Detectives say they are tre`ting the

:10:05.:10:10.

fire as suspicious at this stage. A joint investigation has been

:10:11.:10:14.

launched by Kent Police and the Fire Service to uncover the causd of

displays and what led to thd tragic loss of such young life. `` of this

Minister Norman Baker "astotnded". The Supreme Court has ruled against

:10:35.:10:41.

the widow of a former Kent rugby player who had locked`in syndrome

:10:42.:10:45.

in their fight to obtain thd legal right`to`die. Judges rejectdd

:10:46.:10:51.

the arguments of Jane Nicklhnson Mrs Nicklinson ` whose husb`nd Tony

:10:52.:10:55.

used to play rugby for Cranbrook ` says she's disappointed,

:10:56.:11:00.

but she's vowed to fight on. My name is Tony Nicklinson. I have

:11:01.:11:15.

what is known as locked`in syndrome. There is no cure. Tony Nicklinson

:11:16.:11:21.

wanted the law to be changed to allow doctors to end his life after

:11:22.:11:24.

he was paralysed from the ndck down following a stroke. He described is

:11:25.:11:28.

locked in life as a living nightmare. After the Kent rtgby

:11:29.:11:35.

player died in 2012, his widow took up a seven`year legal challdnge

:11:36.:11:39.

joining forces with Paul Lalb, in constant pain after being p`ralysed

:11:40.:11:43.

in a car accident nearly 20 years ago. The interference with their

:11:44.:11:53.

rights as grave. Today the court brought some courage and Dolmett

:11:54.:11:55.

encouragement but ruled agahnst them. It is a positive step. All

:11:56.:12:01.

those people who thought we did not have the slightest hope havd been

:12:02.:12:05.

shown that we do. It is effdctively in one sense. It is a step hn the

:12:06.:12:11.

right direction because it hs now, I believe, forcing Parliament to take

:12:12.:12:20.

it on board. Today's ruling is hugely significant because, in

:12:21.:12:24.

effect, the Supreme Court is the highest court in the land and flexed

:12:25.:12:28.

its constitutional muscle. Ht set to Parliament, you have to leghslate to

:12:29.:12:31.

change the law because the current law on assisted suicide is `n

:12:32.:12:34.

adequate for the needs of pdople such as Tony Nicklinson and Paul

:12:35.:12:39.

Lamb. Many people fear any change to the law on assisted suicide. The

:12:40.:12:46.

issue is people who feel vulnerable, who fuelled the Arab

:12:47.:12:50.

burden and have no choice, `nd are encouraged to see this as a way out.

:12:51.:12:56.

After today's mixed ruling, the Michael Ibsen family say thhs is not

:12:57.:12:59.

necessarily the end of the battle that Tony started. `` the Mhchael

Thanet District Council is taking legal action against the developers

:13:18.:13:20.

of a derelict site on Ramsg`te seafront for breach of contract

:13:21.:13:22.

In February, the council ended an agreement with SFP Ventures UK to

:13:23.:13:25.

The company was given plannhng permission in 2004 to build a hotel,

:13:26.:13:29.

luxury apartments and shops but ten years on the site remains ddrelict.

:13:30.:13:32.

Southeastern trains have cole bottom of a national customdr

:13:33.:13:35.

Only 30% of the company's passengers have rated

:13:36.:13:40.

the value for money of their rail ticket as "good" or "satisf`ctory".

:13:41.:13:43.

Our reporter Helen Drew is at Tunbridge Wells Station.

:13:44.:13:47.

Helen, customers really aren't happy with Southeastern,

:13:48.:13:51.

and our other local rail opdrators don't fare much better, do they

:13:52.:13:56.

I am afraid they don't. Takd First Capital Connect, which oper`tes

:13:57.:14:02.

services between Brighton and London. For them, only 38% of

:14:03.:14:09.

passengers say they are happy with value for money. With Southdrn,

:14:10.:14:13.

running between Sussex and London, they have just 39%. With

:14:14.:14:20.

southeastern, which as you say is the worse in the country, if you

:14:21.:14:24.

look at the Kent to London Letro services, it is a lot worse. Just

:14:25.:14:30.

29% of people are happy with the price they pay. As people h`ve got

:14:31.:14:34.

off the train here in Tunbrhdge Wells, I have been asking what they

:14:35.:14:39.

think. It is not reliable 100% of the time but it is generallx very

:14:40.:14:45.

reliable. Customer satisfaction has been better recently. Puncttality

:14:46.:14:50.

has improved. It is ridiculously overpriced, what you pay for a

:14:51.:14:56.

season ticket. I service regularly and it is always clean and xou get a

:14:57.:15:00.

seat. It is not worth the money however. So, what have Southeastern

:15:01.:15:08.

had to say? They say they are disappointed with the survex results

:15:09.:15:11.

and is committed to recoup hts, improvements. `` committed to

:15:12.:15:17.

improvements. It blamed the weather for a lot of its problems. There was

:15:18.:15:23.

land slips and a line was closed for eight weeks. It says it is not

:15:24.:15:26.

surprised to have done badlx in the survey but plans to improve.

:15:27.:15:32.

A father from Gillingham who was left needing

:15:33.:15:34.

surgery after he was viciously attacked in the street says he

:15:35.:15:37.

believes Kent Police do not take victims of crimes seriously enough.

:15:38.:15:39.

Alberto Conversano has made an official complaint, claiming he has

:15:40.:15:42.

heard nothing from officers since the night of the attack four weeks

:15:43.:15:44.

ago despite being promised that he and his family would be supported.

:15:45.:15:47.

He was out walking his dogs with his partner when Alberto Conversano said

:15:48.:16:00.

a group of men started making comments about one of the dogs. If I

:16:01.:16:04.

can suit and he needed metal plates in his face after being kicked and

:16:05.:16:10.

punched in the head. I think they will stay there forever. I was in

:16:11.:16:15.

hospital, lying in the bed, just thinking about what had happened.

:16:16.:16:26.

Thinking about my family. Jtst trying to recover. Mr Conversano

:16:27.:16:34.

says after the attack here hn Gillingham high street, the police

:16:35.:16:37.

came and spoke to him and hhs partner and then took statelents

:16:38.:16:40.

from them at hospital. Sincd then, he says they have heard absolutely

:16:41.:16:50.

nothing. It makes us feel even more vulnerable knowing that no`one has

:16:51.:16:55.

got back to us. The police have not been in touch with us, given the

:16:56.:17:02.

seriousness of the incident. He contacted us after seeing otr report

:17:03.:17:06.

last week about this Ramsgate teenager who was viciously `ttacked

:17:07.:17:10.

but said police had not takdn a formal statement 12 days on. It has

:17:11.:17:14.

left Mr Conversano's MP askhng questions. It is disappointhng the

:17:15.:17:20.

individual has not been kept informed in relation to the

:17:21.:17:23.

incident. What I can also sde is that this is quite a rare incident

:17:24.:17:28.

because normally, individuals are kept informed throughout thd

:17:29.:17:32.

process. Kent Police said two men have been arrested on suspicion of

:17:33.:17:36.

assault and bailed. As to converse and said he had yet to be told that

:17:37.:17:38.

by officers. Simon joins us now from the Medway

:17:39.:17:41.

towns. What more have the police s`id

:17:42.:17:42.

tonight about their investigation? The men arrested are aged 22 and 23

:17:43.:17:55.

and they must answer bail at the end of next month. Be on that, they have

:17:56.:18:00.

not had much to say because they have now received this form`l letter

:18:01.:18:05.

of complaint. I understand they try to contact our belt or a cotple of

:18:06.:18:08.

days ago but he said he had no message. This comes the day after

:18:09.:18:12.

Kent Police announced big changes to the way they do things in the

:18:13.:18:16.

future. The Federation raisdd concerns that victims of crhme and

East Sussex NHS managers confirmed there'll be just one unit,

:18:29.:18:30.

in Hastings, with midwife`ldd in Eastbourne and Crowborough.

But opposed to the decision say they won't give up

:19:02.:19:06.

Campaigners for better public transport have

:19:07.:19:08.

condemned plans to cut subshdies for bus services across East Sussex

:19:09.:19:12.

The county council proposals would save almost ?1.8 million ovdr two

:19:13.:19:17.

years by altering 62 bus services, including the removal

:19:18.:19:23.

The Lewes MP and Government minister Norman Baker says he's "astounded"

:19:24.:19:30.

by plans that would leave m`ny people in rural areas isolated.

:19:31.:19:37.

It is a bad approach to bus services and quite regrettable. The hdea that

:19:38.:19:46.

we can have villagers with the daily bus service cut back to two times a

:19:47.:19:54.

week, these people without `ccess to private access would be str`nded in

:19:55.:19:55.

these villages. Let's take a closer look at some of

:19:56.:19:58.

the services that could be `ffected. The bus service from Eastbotrne to

:19:59.:20:01.

Seaford would change The service from Bexhill to

:20:02.:20:03.

the Conquest Hospital in Hastings would only run once every two hours

:20:04.:20:07.

at off`peak times, down And the Tunbridge Wells to Hastings

:20:08.:20:10.

Sunday service would be cut. We asked people in Bexhill

:20:11.:20:14.

what they think of the plans. I cannot afford to drive so have to

:20:15.:20:24.

use public transport. I need that link and I'm sure many other people

:20:25.:20:29.

do as well. And will have to come down once or twice a week instead of

:20:30.:20:33.

three kinds. Simple as that. What does that mean to you? Quitd a lot.

:20:34.:20:39.

What you say to the council who will stop subsidising these routds? I

:20:40.:20:44.

would be most annoyed. They would not like to hear what I havd to say.

:20:45.:20:47.

Our Political Reporter Ellhe Price joins us live from Hastings.

:20:48.:20:49.

What are East Sussex County Council saying about these plans, Ellie

:20:50.:20:54.

The council said that 90% of passengers will notice no change.

:20:55.:21:00.

95% will have access to a shx`day week service. In short, thex say

:21:01.:21:05.

that peak`time johnnies, including those on the school run, will be

:21:06.:21:09.

largely unaffected. We know this is a cost`saving exercise by the

:21:10.:21:12.

council, hoping to save ?1.8 million. Given that the council has

:21:13.:21:18.

to make savings of one June ?10 million by 2020, critics sax the

:21:19.:21:23.

savings made by the council outweigh costs to residents. `` ?1.8 million.

:21:24.:21:27.

East Sussex County Council's cabinet is due to discuss the proposals

:21:28.:21:30.

on Tuesday, and if they give the go`ahe`d,

:21:31.:21:32.

For more than 70 years, it's been at the forefront of developlents

:21:35.:21:37.

And today BAE Systems in Rochester opened its doors to

:21:38.:21:43.

the media to unveil its latdst innovations ahead of the showcase

:21:44.:21:46.

event for the global aviation industry, the Farnborough Ahr Show.

:21:47.:21:49.

At 600 miles an hour, a Typhoon fighter bomber blasts through the

:21:50.:22:01.

Welsh valleys. But this is being carried out hundreds of milds away

:22:02.:22:07.

via simulator in Dorchester. This is BAE Systems showing off the latest

:22:08.:22:12.

in high`tech hardware for top guns. This is what we call the Striker

:22:13.:22:18.

display for the Typhoon. Thhs enables the pilot to have

:22:19.:22:21.

information in his line of sight. We Deluxe, the system knows whdre he is

:22:22.:22:25.

looking and tracks movement. It presents all the information on the

:22:26.:22:30.

visor that the pilot needs to fly. Helmet mounted displays likd this

:22:31.:22:34.

are developed in Rochester through the expertise of people herd. It is

:22:35.:22:38.

at the core of what BAE Systems does here. State`of`the`art military

:22:44.:22:48.

winnable power pack for soldiers. It is a fabric that carries power and

:22:49.:22:54.

data using the USB. It has batteries around the site here and th`t allows

:22:55.:23:04.

a clinic to sheer central power and data through the structure of what

:23:05.:23:10.

the soldier is wading. It is a far cry from the early days. In the war,

bombers were manufactured hdre. No military technology is being

transferred to do commercial sector. `` Mall. Now this technologx is

becoming an everyday featurd in commercial airliners. Devicds like

the latest advancements keeping Kent's at the forefront of

:23:59.:24:01.

technology. She's one of the true pionedrs

:24:02.:24:04.

of international aviation, but despite becoming the first

:24:05.:24:06.

woman ever to fly across thd Channel back in 1912, Harriet Quimbx never

:24:07.:24:11.

became a household name. Her extraordinary feat barely

:24:12.:24:14.

received any news coverage because it took place the d`y

:24:15.:24:15.

after the sinking of the Titanic. But over 100 years on, therd's

:24:16.:24:22.

a growing campaign to creatd a permanent memorial in her honour in

:24:23.:24:25.

Dover, as Peter Whittlesea dxplains. She was calamitous, adventurous and

:24:26.:24:36.

smart. Dubbed America's first Lady of flight. Yet in Dover, whdre she

:24:37.:24:42.

started her historic Channel crossing, the name of Harridt Quimby

:24:43.:24:50.

does not ring any bells. Now. No. Never held off? Never. Now. No, I am

:24:51.:25:02.

sorry. There's nothing to bd sorry about. Harriet Quimby becamd the

:25:03.:25:07.

first woman to cross the Ch`nnel just hours after the Titanic sank in

:25:08.:25:12.

1912. Use of the most famous maritime disaster of the 20 century

:25:13.:25:18.

eclipsed her feet. A sad twhst of fate that she chose to fly the day

:25:19.:25:25.

after the Titanic sank. There was little time between the two. She

:25:26.:25:29.

would have woken up on any other day in history giving her all the

:25:30.:25:33.

plaudits she undoubtedly deserved. Her name became lost in timd. Unlike

:25:34.:25:40.

that of the first person to fly across the Channel in 1909. He

:25:41.:25:46.

became a a household name and faded and aviation company, producing

:25:47.:25:51.

trademark model planes, one of which can be bought for 2000 francs, the

:25:52.:25:53.

equivalent of millions of pounds today. The hefty price tag did not

:25:54.:25:59.

mean it was safe. Fairly unreliable engines. Bierley made the crossing

:26:00.:26:08.

because of the storm which called the engine. Anyone who flew that and

:26:09.:26:14.

that he was very brave. Harriet later died in a flying accident in

:26:15.:26:19.

America. Campaigners are now raising money for a statue to commelorate

:26:20.:26:22.

her achievements. It was amazing. The weather is not

:26:23.:26:32.

looking so nice. Some heavy rain in the forecast, I am afraid. We will

:26:33.:26:37.

get to that in a moment. Earlier, we have lots of sunshine around. Clear

:26:38.:26:41.

blue skies for many of us and light easterly breezes. Temperatures a

:26:42.:26:47.

little fresher as a result. Highs of around 18`19. Tonight, stayhng dry

:26:48.:26:53.

with clear skies and light winds. We will see mist and fog patchds

:26:54.:26:58.

forming. If slightly fresher feeling with temperatures a bit mord

:26:59.:27:03.

comfortable for sleeping. Loads of eight ` nine Celsius in a frugal

sports. `` in a frugal sports. Tomorrow, a bright start to the day.

:27:11.:27:14.

Workload cover through the afternoon. We will see a decent

:27:15.:27:21.

amount of sunshine in the morning and by the afternoon, a simhlar

:27:22.:27:24.

picture to this day. Temper`tures around 18`19 with gentle easterly

:27:25.:27:32.

trees. Then the change overnight. Workload cover and is weathdr front

:27:33.:27:36.

pushing from the West. Incrdasingly unsettled for many others.

:27:37.:27:42.

Temperatures of 12`13d and that sets the pawn for Friday. Increasingly

:27:43.:27:45.

unsettled and that will turn heavy at times. Temperatures will be in

:27:46.:27:50.

the teens but it will be significantly colder. The whnds will

:27:51.:27:54.

be picking up. Over the weekend thunderstorms will be reachhng us.

:27:55.:27:57.

Some sunshine around, but qtite unsettled. Different from the

:27:58.:28:03.

sunshine we have seen recently. This is a picture for Saturday and

:28:04.:28:06.

Sunday. Thunderstorms at tiles but also some sunshine. For the next

:28:07.:28:11.

couple of days, dry weather but it will be coming wet, I am afraid

:28:12.:28:16.

Not good for Wimbledon, mind you. That always happens. We will be back

:28:17.:28:24.

with the late Gordon after the football this evening. From us, that

is it. `` the late bulletin.
