Welcome to South East Today, I'm Polly Evans. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Back home after being left hn a coma for two weeks after a road rage | :00:00. | :00:16. | |

Russ Abbot returns to prime time and tells us all about new comedy | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
Boomers filmed in Kent. A man from Ashford who was left in a | :00:52. | :01:00. | |
coma for two weeks after a road`rage attack today pleaded for thd public | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
to help find his attackers. Wayne Morton, a father of sdven | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
has no memories of being set upon. Tonight, the police have naled | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
a man they want to speak to Have officers been able to shed any | :01:15. | :01:33. | |
more light on what led up to this attack? Well, the police sax Kit is | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
a bit of a mystery. Tonight they've made an appeal for witnesses and | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
named a man they want to talk to but as for where `` as for Waynd | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
Morton, it says it has left him scared to leave the house. | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
His family feared they might never see this day. Wayne Morton back at | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
home for his birthday tomorrow after suffering a fractured skull | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
following an attack he can't remember. It had a dramatic effect | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
on my life, to be honest. I have to learn to do everything again, | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
walking around, feeding mysdlf, you know. It has put me back to a baby | :02:14. | :02:24. | |
stage. He was driving his v`n home after visiting a friend in great | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
stone on July the 4th. It thought he involved in an argument with two | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
other men in the Kingsnorth area. Afterwards found, he was rushed to | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
hospital in London. Kent Police say they are continuing their enquiries | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
and the key question is how and why did Wayne Morton end up herd with | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
such severe head injuries? That remains a mystery even to hhm. I | :02:49. | :02:57. | |
want to know why they did it, what made them do that to him. How hard | :02:58. | :03:08. | |
is it not knowing? Very hard, every day waking up learning they know | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
what they've done and we don't know nothing. The police have issued this | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
picture of Joseph White, whom they want to speak to in connecthon with | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
the assault. And there is and there is a renewed appeal for witnesses. | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
Come forward, please, so it stops this happening to someone else | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
because someone else might not be so lucky. The relief of being back home | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
is tempered with the knowledge you basis months of further medhcal | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
treatment. The family say they've had difficulty getting any clear | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
information from the police about what they believe may have happened | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
but Wayne was in the cone of two weeks. Only last week he was well | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
enough to speak to the police and self and the family say thex | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
desperately need to find who was responsible for this so that they | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
feel safe in their own home. People suffering from severd pain | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
should be allowed to take c`nnabis, that's the call tonight frol Norman | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
Baker, the Liberal Democrat MP for At the moment, | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
cannabis is categorised as Class B, which means that you risk bding | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
prosecuted if you use it. Mr Baker's stressing he wants to | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
remove that risk for use in medicines, but not | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
for people who choose to smoke it or He points out that | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
the drug is well known for dasing the symptoms of multiple sclerosis | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
and HIV and AIDS, as well as Our political reporter Ellid Price | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
has been looking at the argtments. So, I've still got a few of the old | :04:34. | :04:50. | |
drugs I used to take, like the antidepressants and tramadol and so | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
on. I don't take them any more. Mark French was diagnosed with mtltiple | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
sclerosis we as a go and he says conventional medication does not | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
help him so he smokes cannabis illegally. What do I do when it is | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
my life? It is in all of my existence, when I am in pain, when I | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
can't do anything, and cann`bis changes that. Who is wrong? Me or | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
the law? It is a similar story for Kieran who uses the drug for | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
epilepsy. They are not alond. They have helped launch a communhty | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
group. That helps people with diabetes, MS, epilepsy, cancer. And | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
they're all life changing stories. We'll have the same thing common. We | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
are just trying to live a bdtter way of life. Cannabis has been legalised | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
in parts of the US and although some synthetic versions of the drug used | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
it is only here, campaigners say it could be used far more widely. You | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
don't think this sends out the message that cannabis is th`t bad, | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
that it can be good for you? It sends out the message that the | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
government are prepared to tse a substance where it can help people | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
who are ill, and we should be prepared to do that, we shotldn t | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
allow ancient prejudices from 4 years ago to get in the way that. If | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
someone is ill, let's them `nd not make them terminals. The MP knows | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
that the chances of his proposals going ahead are slim. The government | :06:16. | :06:23. | |
says it has no plans to leg`lise cannabis or soften its approach as a | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
use in medicine. Many experts agree that can be side effects. The | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
dangers can range from hallucinations, addiction, fear | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
developing anxiety. Once ag`in, it is varied. Campaigners want to | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
change perceptions on this hllegal drug. They accept a change hn the | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
law will prove even more difficult. A culture of drugs, a verdict on | :06:50. | :07:05. | |
Lewes prison from a serving prison officer. | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
Police have released an e`fht of a man they are looking for | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
in connection with seven reported sex attacks on women in Whitstable. | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
The police say the attacks happened over the course of eight months | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
and are now investigating whether they are linked. | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
A network of paths act as short cuts through which to ball. The detective | :07:23. | :07:39. | |
leading the investigation into the assaults is urging pedestri`ns to | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
carry mobile phones and to be vigilant when using the paths even | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
in daylight hours. The nature of the offences is such that we have lone | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
females, between 60 and 88 xears of age that have been approachdd and | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
accosted, and inappropriately touched. That is traumatic for the | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
victims. It would be traumatic for any victim of any age. The police | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
have released this e`fit and have looked at several attacks in | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
Whitstable, the first occurring within 45 minutes of each other on | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
January the 27th. In June, there was another attack near all Saints | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
close, but on Tuesday there were three incidents in one day. I would | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
be careful. I'd never go thdre by myself, not late or early, but I'd | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
be very careful. If someone is trying to hide, it is very dasy | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
here. It is in the back of ly mind. Bearing in mind that it is literally | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
five minutes away from my house So I do, actually, kind of... H would | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
prefer to get a lift or if ht is late at night, I'd think about not | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
going there. The police say they don't know if the attacks are linked | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
and they are appealing for information so that it can bring | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
whoever committed these criles to justice. | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
A 25`year`old man has been convicted of murdering a pedestrian bx hitting | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
John O'Donohue was fatally hnjured after he was trapped underndath | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
Jake Austin, who has no fixed address, h`d | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
admitted manslaughter at his trial at Maidstone Crown Court, btt this | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
A serving prison officer from Lewes Prison says she fears | :09:20. | :09:32. | |
a member of staff will be khlled unless action is taken to address | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
Kim Lennon says she and her colleagues are so | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
overstretched, they can't mdet the needs of prisoners, which is causing | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
Ms Lennon says there aren't enough staff to carry out daily cell | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
checks, the smuggling of drtgs and contraband is rife, | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
The Prison Service denies that staffing levels are unsafe, | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
and they have a zero tolerance approach to illicit substances. | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
Kim Lennon is risking her job speaking out about working | :09:55. | :10:06. | |
conditions in Lewes prison. She says staff cuts mean they don't have | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
enough time to do the basics. We are supposed to do sell checks once a | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
day. Doesn't happen. Becausd? We don't have enough time or staff | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
Because we are doing this and that. And the dangers of not doing that? | :10:22. | :10:30. | |
Prisoners know they `` prisoners know we are supposed to be doing it. | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
Some of them are so complacdnt they have mobile phones by their bed She | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
says that the smuggling of ` drug called spice is rife. She fdars the | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
situation is critical. I have never ever known Lewes Prison to be Rocky | :10:46. | :10:55. | |
but it is going to go and somebody is going to get hard, be it prisoner | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
or member of staff. The number of staff at the prison has fallen by | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
16%. Over the same period, the number of suicides by prisoners | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
increased by almost a third. But at Lewes Prison, official figures show | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
that in spite of Mr Lennon's concerns, the number of ass`ults | :11:20. | :11:27. | |
declined by 37%. Paul Carroll is the former governor of Lewes Prhson and | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
he says that managers will do what they can to reduce the risks to | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
staff. But he says... It is inevitable if you reduce st`ff | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
numbers that services will suffer and, therefore, in that envhronment, | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
you will find there will be increased number of incidents. Now | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
one from Lewes Prison was prepared to be interviewed today but the | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
prison service issued a statement saying that staffing levels here are | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
safe. And that sensible and precaution that measures have been | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
taken to manage the recent national increase in the prison population. | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
Staffing has become tight btt overall I think there are enough | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
numbers. There are difficulties with some of the older prisons, which is | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
why it is important to invest in new prisons. CCTV is fully functional at | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
Lewes Prison and the prison says they have robust measures to find | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
illicit substances, including spice. They are continuing to recrtit | :12:27. | :12:27. | |
staff, they say. Students from across the Sotth East | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
have been collecting their @`level results today, but for one teenager | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
from East Sussex it's been lore Rachel Hammond | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
from Horam clinched her thrde A`levels, and is heading to | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
university despite being di`gnosed with a rare condition which affects | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
her immune system 13 years `go. Across the south`east, | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
there's no clear picture yet of how we've done, with most counchls still | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
crunching the numbers. In West Sussex, though, | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
we do know there's been a slight drop in the pass r`te, | :12:52. | :12:53. | |
in line with the national phcture. Like thousands of young people | :12:54. | :13:06. | |
across the South East, Rachdl needs good A`level grades to move onto the | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
next stage of her life. But will she get them? Wow! Oh, my gosh, I can't | :13:10. | :13:20. | |
believe that. It is just am`zing! You must be very pleased. | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
Definitely, thank you. Mum's very pleased, too. Staggered and very | :13:28. | :13:35. | |
proud. Well done. Ten years ago BBC south`east spoke to Rachel `nd her | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
family as she'd started a ndw drug treatment programme. The tednager | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
has a continuing immunodeficiency condition. Next month, Rachdl will | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
begin a degree in occupational health in Norwich. Elsewherd, | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
students at this school in Laidstone also received their results. It was | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
a similar scene at the Howard school. And there was much to be | :13:59. | :14:09. | |
happy about in Brighton. Wow! I gotten a and B and C. I am proud of | :14:10. | :14:18. | |
that. In Sussex, some students will have to reassess their plans. Others | :14:19. | :14:26. | |
will move onto new challengds. Well done to them all. This is our | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
top story tonight. A man from Ashford was left in a coma for two | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
weeks after a road rage att`ck today pleaded for the public to hdlp find | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
his attackers. Wayne Morton says he has no memory of being set tpon and | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
the police say they want to talk to Joseph White in connection with the | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
assault. Also into night's programme... Be reporting on the | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
moment two Lancaster bombers made history in the skies over | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
Eastbourne. And change to the weekend forecast. | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
Will it bring weekend well or a weekend sunny glow? Join me later to | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
find out. The ferry disaster at Zeebrtgge | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
remains one of Britain's worst ever maritime catastrophes, costhng | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
the lives of nearly 200 people. It happened more than a quarter | :15:17. | :15:18. | |
of a century ago, but only now a woman from Sdaford in | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
East Sussex has felt able to speak publicly for the first time about | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
losing not one relative, but three. Jane Hind could have been | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
on the Herald of Free Enterprise when it sank claiming the lhves | :15:30. | :15:31. | |
of her mother, sister and uncle Her story appears | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
in a new book about the dis`ster. She's has been speaking to | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
Robin Gibson on the effects of that March weekend | :15:39. | :15:40. | |
for tonight's special report. 'They hacked | :15:41. | :15:49. | |
and smashed the strong glass.' Mum was my whole life, how was I | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
ever going to live without her? 'They lowered ropes | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
and hauled people out.' My sister would have still been | :15:56. | :15:57. | |
alive, you know, 'People clawing | :15:58. | :15:59. | |
and fighting their way up.' It took just 90 seconds | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
for the huge ferry to capsize But, for many, the effects | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
of that night are still going on. They were meant to go | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
from another port, I believd, but they were running early, so we | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
thought we'd drive down to Zeebrugge Herald of Free Enterprise w`s | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
a roll on roll off ferry. The bow doors allowing cars and | :16:28. | :16:35. | |
lorries inside had not been closed. My uncle had a house over | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
in Eindhoven. And he was selling | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
the house Eindhoven to move back to And they had gone over | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
for a week's holiday, to help him My sister actually wasn't | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
meant to be on the boat. A marine inquiry found neglhgence | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
by specific crew members and the An inquest jury returned a verdict | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
of corporate manslaughter btt I've always set myself a target | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
to be half the woman my mum was She wouldn't have wanted me to | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
be sad for the rest of my lhfe. Talking with friends | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
and family has always helped her cope but a new book on the disaster | :17:20. | :17:21. | |
gave her an avenue to speak publicly It was humanity, basically, | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
thrown into chaos. It was a single event which | :17:25. | :17:32. | |
changed so many lives forevdr. For me, the more I talk abott it, | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
the better. I'm very proud | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
of my family who died. And, really, this for me is | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
like a tribute to them. You know, | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
they can be remembered forever. The deaths of the passengers | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
and crew members resulted in major But for many of those touchdd | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
by this tragedy, the question why A piece of aviation history was made | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
in the skies above Eastbourne today. It is the opening day of | :18:05. | :18:17. | |
Eastbourne Airbourne, Among the crowds was a formdr pilot, | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
now aged 90, watching the Jack Watson, | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
who lives in Eastbourne, flew 77 missions himself in | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
the aircraft during World W`r Two. Piers Hopkirk has spent the day | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
at the show. Swooping low across Eastbourne Pier, | :18:37. | :18:48. | |
a site not seen in our skies for nearly 60 years. The world's last | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
two airworthy Lancaster bombers inverse skies together at l`st. `` | :18:55. | :19:04. | |
inverse skies. I was completely emotional, I thought I'd never see | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
it. I've seen formations of 20 Spitfires but I have to admht that | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
tops the lot. It is an honotr. It makes you proud to be British. | :19:15. | :19:22. | |
Fantastic! And few know the site and sight better than 90`year`old Jack | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
Watson. He was a flight enghneer and bomb gamer on no fewer than 77 | :19:26. | :19:32. | |
Lancaster missions. When yot heard the throng of those engines, how did | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
it make you feel? It evokes memories, obviously. It is ` sound | :19:37. | :19:43. | |
you never ever forget, and xou can still smell the inside of one. The | :19:44. | :19:51. | |
day began with a Birds Eye view of Eastbourne, courtesy of the Tigers | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
parachute display team. The better way to beat the traffic and find the | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
best spot on the beach. Tens of thousands packed the seafront for | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
this annual aerial showpiecd. After the disaster of the pier fire, a | :20:10. | :20:17. | |
chance for a tourism boom. Ht is a fantastic opportunity to show | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
everybody that Eastbourne is a very can`do town. We've had a bit of a | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
disaster without peer, but we've come through that and it is business | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
as usual, our town is buzzing. And no greater buzz perhaps than this, | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
the Breitling wing walkers, getting their fair share of fresh ahr in | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
arguably the best seats in the house. | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
It must have been an extraordinary moment when they went over. | :20:48. | :20:56. | |
I am no great aviation expert or enthusiast bucked the moment those | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
two Lancaster 's flew over the pier, and the huge crowd burst into | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
spontaneous applause, you couldn't help but be moved. It was the | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
combination of the sight of these iconic aircraft and that throb of | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
their engines. There was a woman standing in front of me and she | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
actually became quite tearftl, and I asked what had moved her. She said | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
it was the moment of seeing those two Lancaster is that brought home | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
to her the bravery and the sacrifice of the airmen who gave so mtch | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
decades ago. Thank you. Some football fixture to tell you | :21:35. | :21:35. | |
about. and the second round draw for the | :21:36. | :21:37. | |
Capital League Cup has been made. One of the highlights, Gillhngham | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
take on Premier League Newc`stle. In the other ties, | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
Brighton travel to Swindon, Charlton have a tricky tie `t Derby, | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
while Crawley go to Norwich. But Gillingham's reward | :21:46. | :21:47. | |
for their victory at Yeovil is one of the most attractive cup ties to | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
be staged at the Priestfield Stadium People tell me it's the first time | :21:51. | :22:03. | |
in ten years that ginning of won in ten years. And getting the draw is | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
lovely, lovely for our supporters to see a Premier League team. H am | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
pleased and delighted for everybody. Kent's Adam Gemili comfortably | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
qualified for the semi`finals of the 200 metres at the European | :22:17. | :22:18. | |
Championships this evening. The 20`year`old from Dartford, | :22:19. | :22:20. | |
who won silver at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow | :22:21. | :22:22. | |
earlier this month, had the fastest time in this morning's heats, and | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
will be one of the medal favourites Back in the 80s, he was a m`ster | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
of slapstick, popular with children and adults alike, and turning | :22:29. | :22:36. | |
in the odd singing performance Now, Russ Abbot is back, with | :22:37. | :22:38. | |
something a little bit subtler. Boomers tells the story of three | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
couples dealing with retirelent in their own way, and much of it | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
was filmed in and around Herne Bay. The first episode is | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
tomorrow evening on BBC One. I've got wrong number, anyone want | :22:49. | :23:09. | |
it? Nothing subtle about Russ Abbot. In the mid`80s, we bdcame | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
familiar with his singing voice too. | :23:17. | :23:24. | |
Much more recently, he was ` big noise on Last Of The Summer Wine. | :23:25. | :23:34. | |
But now Russ Abbot has venttred to filming on location along the coast, | :23:35. | :23:45. | |
Herne Bay in particular. Well, Herne Bay is supposed to be of fictitious | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
seaside resort where all of the crowds have retired, the boomer | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
crowd. She might be having ` baby now! The series takes a siddways | :23:55. | :24:03. | |
look at retirement. Trevor loved out of the bedroom on Tuesday. Oh! That | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
must be difficult for you. Not really, I did notice till Thursday. | :24:10. | :24:17. | |
Fortunately, I'm not retired. We just get to play older parts and | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
keep going as long as we can, so I wouldn't know. I am a bit sdlective, | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
and I'd choose the right pidce that comes along, and this was the right | :24:27. | :24:34. | |
piece. Wilf! Wake up! It's time to take a sleeping pill. Perhaps Russ | :24:35. | :24:42. | |
Abbot will be thought of first and foremost as churning out thd gags. | :24:43. | :24:51. | |
People want to sit there and relax, they know they're not going to be | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
insulted or offended, and they are looking forward to something they | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
can relate to which is what Boomers is all about. There is now something | :25:00. | :25:07. | |
gentler to add to the collection. Give us a smile at least! Rtss | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
Abbot, very much not retired. And the weather. | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
I like to sniff out the poshtives, and these frequent showers light be | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
giving you the PIP, but we can see one of meteorology's magic loments. | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
Rainbows. When we get these showers, you can also get some long`lasting | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
rainbows, and on the 14th Atgust 1979, there was a three hour long | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
rainbow which means that thd showers lasted for three hours, and that is | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
what some of us have been stuck under today. If you look at the | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
radar picture, you can see the showers are spotted and dotted, | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
right the way across us, rather like a Dalmatian's coat. There are still | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
plenty of heavy showers out there, they are causing some flash flooding | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
as well, so any of us likelx to be affected by them. As the telperature | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
drops away, the showers will get the hint and they will die away as well. | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
Inland, going down to 12. On the coast, staying up to 14. Th`t is | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
because of those warmer sea temperatures. Tomorrow, Inl`nd, | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
eight. To the day, but for lany there will be fewer showers in | :26:26. | :26:32. | |
Surrey and Sussex because the wind will go to a north`westerly which | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
can protect Surrey and Sussdx from the showers, but if you are in Kent, | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
particularly the north and dast you will get more showers tomorrow and | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
some heavy ones into the afternoon. Still, basically, another d`y of | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
sunshine and showers, but more of them gathered towards the e`st | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
tomorrow. Top temperature, 20. Tomorrow evening, the showers fade | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
away. Into Saturday, things are looking more positive and wd will | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
have some sunny spells, it should stay dry, and although the winds | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
increase, Saturday will be the better day of the weekend. Sunday, | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
two, the forecast has definhtely improved. Yesterday it lookdd like | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
we would have three weather fronts on Sunday but now we will h`ve a | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
little rain, the rest of thd day should be drier and brighter. Things | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
are looking better over the next few days. You will always need xour | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
umbrella nearby but you'll `lso need your suncream, shades and shorts, | :27:31. | :27:32. | |
too. We like it when you put things into | :27:33. | :27:37. | |
reverse. And we like long`l`sting rainbows. That was a lovely fact. | :27:38. | :27:43. | |
See you at 8pm and 10:25pm. Goodbye. | :27:44. | :27:47. |
