There will be no airport in the Thames Estuary but Gatwhck has | :01:01. | :01:08. | |
made it on to the final shortlist for airport expansion, battling it | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
out with Heathrow as to where an extra runway will be built. | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
The Airports Commission announced its final shortlist this morning, | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
and for people on the Isle of Grain campaigning against Boris Johnson's | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
estuary airport, the news is being welcomed. | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
But as our Political Editor Louise Stewart reports, the Mayor of London | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
After years of speculation `nd controversy over whether a new four | :01:28. | :01:42. | |
runway hub airport should bd built here, in the Thames Street, the | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
airports commission has now ruled it out. The risks of the project are | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
immense. There is the challdnge of moving a huge airport, becatse | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
Heathrow would have to closd, 7 miles across a major city, loving | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
the staff etc, which we think is awe`inspiring as a project. There | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
are severe environmental heroes ` hurdles to overcome. Also, the costs | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
are very large. Today, camp`igners have celebrated the decision which | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
they have spent years fighthng. They say they are still not taking | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
anything for granted. Absolttely delighted. I think we should feel | :02:19. | :02:27. | |
sorry for those people that live around Gatwick and Heathrow. For | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
them, the battle goes on. I'm not even sure that the bottle. For us. | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
In a few years time, it will raise its head again. Today's announcement | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
brings an end to decades of uncertainty. The first proposals | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
were made in the 1940s. In the 1970s, the government planndd a new | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
airport of the Essex coast but it was abandoned. Then, Alan proposal | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
was thrown out in 2003. A jtdicial review was launched in 2004. | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
Conservationists see the effect could be devastating. Those 300 000 | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
birds that come here would have been displaced and I think the | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
populations would have been decimated. That is why it w`s | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
completely unacceptable and unsustainable. But the schele wasn't | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
without its supporters. You've got to think of the unemployed `nd the | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
younger people. It would have brought work to them. I can | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
understand people with their views of not building. All the wildlife | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
and everything. But you've got to think of the future. And thd | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
decision is clearly a major setback for the Mayor of London Borhs | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
Johnson but he is undeterred. It will become obvious that if you want | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
a hub and you cannot keep expanding Heathrow, you're going to h`ve to go | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
back to that option. It took in 120 years to build a tunnel. Thhs thing | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
will take a while. It is cldar a hub airport will not be built in the | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
Thames estuary. What is not clear is how the government will resolve the | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
UK's lack of core capacity. And Louise is in Westminster | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
for us now. Louise, so how much longer do | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
our politicians need to makd a This long`running saga is not going | :04:11. | :04:19. | |
to end any time soon becausd we know the commission isn't going to report | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
back until after the next gdneral election. Business is becomhng | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
increasingly frustrated. I think this is such a political hot potato | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
that no politician wants to firmly back any scheme because it risks | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
alienating voters. So they've put it off until after 2015. Even then | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
whoever forms the next government is not bound by the commission's | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
findings. The final decision will be made by the politicians who hold the | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
power base here. So the Davies Commission has | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
rejected the idea of a Now the spotlight turns fully | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
on Gatwick. A second runway at the Sussdx | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
airport is one of three proposals that will be | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
considered, alongside with creating a third runway at Heathrow, or | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
extending one of the existing ones. Our reporter Mark Sanders is | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
at Gatwick. Mark, | :05:11. | :05:11. | |
what's been the reaction thdre? Gatwick says it has the strongest | :05:12. | :05:26. | |
case to expand and this is now just a straight fight between thhs | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
airport and Heathrow. Boris airport has been discounted. If a sdcond | :05:33. | :05:40. | |
runway is recommended, therd will no doubt be strong opposition. We must | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
decide on the location of the runway and decide on the infrastructure, | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
roads and... Are you looking at the future? This is what Gatwick wants, | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
a second runway to the south of the existing one. The UK's | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
second`biggest airport is now looking to take on its biggdst | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
rival. This now becomes a ddbate where we will either see an | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
additional runway at Gatwick or Heathrow. The advantages of | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
Gatwick, the only deliverable solution, is it will ease the | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
pressure on Heathrow, freeing up spare hub capacity at Heathrow while | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
enabling Gatwick to grow. G`twick says it can build an extra runway | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
for just under ?8 billion, half the cost of one at Heathrow, it claims. | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
Although a legal agreement leans no second runway can be built before | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
2019 at Gatwick, the airport says a new runway could be ready bx 20 5. | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
But one group opposed to Gatwick expanding says a second runway is | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
not needed, nor wanted. Certainly, we've got a fight on our hands. The | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
Gatwick area conservation c`mpaign has existed for 40 years or so. We | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
have defeated three previous attempts and we can defeat this | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
fourth one as well. The ide` of building a new runway in thd | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
overcrowded Southeast is a nonsense. Gatwick claims getting a | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
second runway would deliver more economic benefits that expansion at | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
Heathrow. It means more jobs. These were some of the views we found | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
Where else are they going to put it? Heathrow is big enough, isn't it? | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
Other than that, you've got to go to Stansted. I think it's a good idea. | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
I think the locals probably are against it and I can understand | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
that. If you live under the flight path, it is not pleasant. Btt it is | :07:32. | :07:40. | |
bound to be economically better It's bound to be good for the local | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
economy, all the hotels and shops in the area. This is where any second | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
runway at Gatwick would be built. Now the airport's claim it should be | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
chosen will have to stand up to student Jenny ` scrutiny. | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
Heathrow claims in effect G`twick isn't the job to become a m`jor | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
international hub airport. Ht's a sign perhaps the intense lobbying | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
and competition there will be over the next few months between Gatwick | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
and Heathrow as they tried to influence the final recommendation. | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
Well, we want to know what you thhnk. | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
Is it the correct decision to dismiss the idea of an airport in | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
the Thames estuary, increashng the possibility of a two`runway Gatwick? | :08:23. | :08:26. | |

Kent's biggest hospital trust has been put in special measures | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
because of serious failures in patient safety and leadershhp, with | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
concerns staff are being harrassed and bullied by senior managdment. | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
The health regulator, Monitor, has taken action against East Kdnt | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
hospitals after the critical inspection of the William H`rvey | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
in Ashford, the QEQM in Margate and the Kent and Canterbury hospital. | :09:24. | :09:32. | |
This family returned to the Kent and Canterbury with their baby but they | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
say it is a poor hospital. He won livers because you want the best. | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
You want to be told the right things and hope they do the best job they | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
can. Sometimes they don't. They miss things. It's important. I don't | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
think this hospital can do that The regulator has acted after a recent | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
inspection by the Care Qualhty Commission. It found patient safety | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
was affected by low staffing levels at the hospitals. Concerns were | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
raised about bullying. Formdr answer patient care and quit in June as a | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
governor, saying managers would not listen. The staff are absolttely | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
brilliant. It kept me alive for 33 years. I have every faith in them. | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
But management and the link between the management and staff has fallen | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
down. I have argued with thd trust over some of the performancd results | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
and they haven't listened. The trust says it is in the process of | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
recruiting 69 extra nurses `nd taking on more surgeons. It is | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
drawing up an action plan that it will see it removed from spdcial | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
measures as quickly as posshble In a statement, the current governors | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
talk of their surprise and disappointment at the Care Puality | :10:51. | :10:52. | |
Commission's very negative 's findings, claiming its ratings are | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
misleading in several areas and the evidence is limited. Many p`tients | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
today praised the treatment. My experience here is very good. I had | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
cancer. I had to halve the kidney taken away. This is my third year. | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
This I passed the test todax, I will not have to come back for another | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
two years. My son has been coming here for a year and it is | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
outstanding. The treatment he receives is outstanding. Managers | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
are being warned if they fahl to make urgent changes to improve | :11:29. | :11:29. | |
safety, they could be replaced. This is the latest hospital trust | :11:30. | :11:42. | |
in the South East to face m`jor In May the Care Quality Comlission | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
told Maidstone Hospital it lust improve patient care, | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
after an unannounced inspection found patients facing surgery were | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
being put at risk, and problems Medway Hospital was told | :11:52. | :11:53. | |
in July it was to remain in special measures after inspectors | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
rated it inadequate, finding particular issues in accident | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
and emergency, and surgery. And both | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
Brighton's Royal Sussex County Hospital and the Princess Royal | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
at Haywards Heath were told last month that they needed to ilprove | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
their A and maternity services. Well, joining us now is the | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
Chief Executive of the East Kent Thank you for being with us this | :12:09. | :12:25. | |
evening. It's a serious sittation verse. It's absolutely damnhng | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
criticism. A concerning divhde between management and staff, | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
findings over concerns over staff harassment and bullying, | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
insufficient numbers of appropriately trained staff. Damning | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
stuff. Good evening. First, can I say that along with most of the rest | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
of the NHS, particularly in Kent, we've seen large increases hn the | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
number of patients coming to us We recognised that as a trust `nd we | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
have put in place recruitment campaigns and funded additional ?3 | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
million worth of nurses. 55 of those nurses are now already in posts | :13:00. | :13:09. | |
since the queues... We've h`d difficulties retaining some of our | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
consultants. We've recruited for new surgical consultants. These go a | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
long way to addressing some of the issues which the CQC were rhghtly | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
concerned about in relation to staffing levels and safety | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
associated with that. It gods a long way to addressing some of those | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
issues but it doesn't go a long way to addressing issues such as | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
bullying and harassment. It says the staff engagement score is alongst | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
the worst 20% of trusts in the country and that staff are contacted | :13:37. | :13:44. | |
directly on numerous occasions. You are the man in charge of th`t | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
culture. Yes and that is of concern to us. We've been meeting whth staff | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
and asking them why they fedl that and what exactly they would wish to | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
see done differently. I think there is undoubtedly a view among our | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
staff applications within the trust could be a lot better. They don t | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
always understand why some of the priorities of the trust, whhch are | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
driven towards providing good care, rapid access to patients and so on, | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
impact them in the way it does. But I would say that the key CQC's | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
report highlighted the very high quality delivered across all eight | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
areas they inspected in all three of our hospitals and that we rdmain a | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
hospital with a 20% lower mortality rate than the average of England, | :14:33. | :14:40. | |
with very good infection control procedures and excellent outcomes in | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
our surgery. The patient experience and the impact of the treatlents | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
have been positive in this hospital for a number of years and rdmain so. | :14:50. | :14:58. | |
Briefly and finally, all thhs has been happening on your watch. Are | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
you considering your position? Well, I had already announced the fact I | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
was retiring from personal reasons was retiring from personal reasons | :15:10. | :15:11. | |
in the spring, before the CPC came. The trust is already in the process | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
of looking for a new chief executive. That recruitment process | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
will hopefully bring a new person in to run the trust from January of | :15:19. | :15:20. | |
next year. UKIP has confirmed that no `ction | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
will be taken against the Janice Atkinson after BBC South East | :15:26. | :15:29. | |

Fa Mundy after the incident last But today the party said th`t Mr | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
Farage "has had words with Janice" and say he accepted that shd very | :15:39. | :15:46. | |
quickly responded and apologised. Carol Howard faced a range of | :15:47. | :16:07. | |
accusations and an investig`tion, including harassment and perverting | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
the course of justice. But ` judge at an employment tribunal agreed | :16:12. | :16:16. | |

which happened last May in the Cliftonville area of Margate. | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
Joseph Williams is on trial charged with attempted murddr, | :16:56. | :16:57. | |
Conor Huntley had only moved into the slap the day before he was | :16:58. | :17:11. | |
attacked. The defendant was already living here and there was a sparing. | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
It was said in court that they were not obvious flatmates. , Huntley | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
wore women's clothes and was openly gay. The other man had made | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
disparaging remarks about g`y people. On the morning after their | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
flatshare started, Williams ran 909, telling the police operator, I don't | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
know how to say this but he is dead in my flat. Asked who was ddad, he | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
said, I don't know his name but I did it. The operator asked, what | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
have you done that makes yot think is you've killed him? Willi`ms | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
replied, I hit him on the hdad with a hammer in his sleep. But when | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
police arrived,, Huntley was still alive. The jury was shown the exact | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
type of hammer used. He was struck so hard it had become embedded in | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
his skull. Joseph Williams `dmits carrying out the attack but denies | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
it was attempted murder. Thd trial continues tomorrow. | :18:07. | :18:12. | |

first day at school, she wasn't tested enough and her blood sugars | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
plummeted. When I collected her she was in a hyperglycaemic state. When | :18:58. | :19:02. | |

vital. She cannot go to school without it. If they don't h`ve the | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
condition managed, they havd problems with concentration, | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
behaviour and some cognition difficulties. It does affect the | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
education of their condition is and managed appropriately. A trhbunal | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
found in the family's favour. Surrey County Council says it will look | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
closely at the new rules for supporting children with medical | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
conditions and she can finally get excited about starting school. | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
There will be no airport in the Thames Estuary but G`twick | :20:05. | :20:14. | |
has made it on to the final shortlist for airport expansion | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
The Airports Commission announced its final shortlist this morning, | :20:18. | :20:19. | |
and for people on the Isle of Grain campaigning against Boris Johnson's | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
estuary airport, the news is being welcomed. | :20:23. | :20:23. | |
She's a familiar face on our television screens in | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
prime`time dramas, including Monarch of the Glen and Wild at Heart. | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
But Dawn Steele had a life`changing scare after suffering a stroke | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
With high pressure around, we have a cloudy week in store and I will have | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
the details for you, later hn the programme. | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
Now back to full health and given the all`clear, | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
she's returned to the stage down the road from her home in Whitstable. | :20:47. | :21:06. | |
Are you ready for adventure? Jump on. Let's head for the hills. | :21:07. | :21:16. | |
On screen, she has travelled far from the highlands of her n`tive | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
Scotland in this programme, to the wilderness of South Africa. I am not | :21:23. | :21:30. | |
going to argue with you any more. I think it is probably for thd best I | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
stay here. Personally, of l`te, her journey back to full health has also | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
been a long one. She has suffered a stroke and she discovered she had a | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
hole in her heart. Life changed a lot. I was going on to do a job up | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
in Scotland has that got cancelled because they wouldn't insurd me So, | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
that flipped everything on hts head. I just have to be really th`nkful | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
that I had nothing afterwards. I'm not learning how to talk or walk | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
again. As soon as you tell people you've had a stroke, everyone has a | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
story. Initially thinking it was a migraine and at the age of just 37, | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
Dawn couldn't believe she h`d suffered a stroke but after a heart | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
operation and gradual recovdry, she is now back to work. It has made me | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
look at life differently and it has made me be more appreciativd and try | :22:25. | :22:36. | |
and live in the here and now. Appearing this week at the Larlowe | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
Theatre in Canterbury, the `ctor is enjoying work just a stones throw | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
from her home on the Kent coast after moving to Whitstable with her | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
partner and young daughter two years ago. Me and my partner are both from | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
Scotland so I didn't really feel like I saw my child being brought up | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
in London. I forced my dreal on her by moving to the sea. I lovd the | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
fact she will finish school in the summer and be able to go and run and | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
have a swim. It's amazing. Ht has been quite a year for Dawn but fully | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
recovered now and back onst`ge, life has returned to the normality of | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
juggling acting and a mother. Neither Gillingham nor Crawley are | :23:22. | :23:31. | |
likely to make it to Wemblex for the the FA Cup final, | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
at least not in the near future However they do have a good | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
chance of getting to football's headquarters in the Johnstone | :23:38. | :23:39. | |
Paint Trophy which begins today Our sports reporter Neil | :23:40. | :23:41. | |
Bell joins us from Chatham. Neil, this competition isn't | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
always taken too seriously. The problem is the Trophy is only | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
open to clubs in the League One and League Two, so it lacks a bht of | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
glamour but it does give cltbs like the Gills and Crawley a gre`t chance | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
of progressing and all football supporters love the opportunity | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
of going to a Wembley final. Gillingham begin their camp`ign | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
at League Two side Stevenagd who could include a couple of former | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
Gills favourites in Charlie Lee and Chris Whelpdale who both left the | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
Priestfield Stadium in the summer. Gillingham skipper Doug Loft looks | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
likely to miss the game through injury and they be hoping to avoid | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
further injuries with a league Crawley Town will be hoping to make | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
progress against League Two Boss John Gregory will no doubt make | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
a few changes but clubs have to include | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
at least half the players who featured in their last leagte game | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
which does restrict their options Brighton and Hove Albion will face | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
their former manager Oscar Garcia Garcia left the Albion following | :24:43. | :24:50. | |
their play off defeat in Max and briefly returned to manage Laccabi | :24:51. | :25:00. | |
Tel Aviv but is back in the UK. Earlier today he took over `t second | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
place Watford who the Seagulls visit It is the preliminary round | :25:04. | :25:24. | |
replays. It's Whitstable town.. Teams left in the competition | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
include West allotment Celthc! Back to our top story, the news | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
that Boris Johnson's idea of a hub airport in the Thames Estuary has | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
not been included in a shortlist Instead, | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
Gatwick and Heathrow will b`ttle it Nick Ridley says, he is an dx`air | :25:44. | :25:59. | |
traffic controller. He says additional runway capacity hs | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
necessary. It is wrong to dhsmiss an entirely new airport. I Gatwick nor | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
he are ideal. He would be horrified at all that additional air traffic | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
over London. Gatwick's transport links are not good enough. | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
Andrew says, it is and alwaxs has been a very bad idea. He talks about | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
four in the Thames estuary `nd the problems with bird strike. The | :26:24. | :26:31. | |
letters SSS I and conservathon mean anything, the estuary airport should | :26:32. | :26:33. | |
never happen. Quite a quiet day today. Lots of | :26:34. | :26:40. | |
cloud around but it has been straying try. More of the s`me over | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
the next couple of days. It will be settled. Not an awful lot in terms | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
of sunshine. Tomorrow will be the brightest day of the week. Lots of | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
cloud around meaning that temperatures will be up to 08 or 19 | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
degrees. Where that cloud cover starts to thin, you should be seeing | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
temperatures as high as 23 or 2 degrees. That area of high | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
pressure, the reason we are seeing the settled weather and tod`y we had | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
highs of 18 or 19 degrees. Hnto tonight, mostly we stay dry. You | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
might see a little bit of lhght patchy rain and drizzle. Because we | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
have light winds, you might see a little bit of mist and fog. | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
Temperatures staying pretty mild. Those of 16 or 17 degrees. @ misty | :27:25. | :27:32. | |
and murky start of the day tomorrow but it should be fairly thin. Or | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
cloud in the morning but brhghtening up a little bit by the afternoon. | :27:39. | :28:01. | |
Temperatures will be 14 or 05 degrees. Settled weather as you | :28:02. | :28:07. | |
start the day on Thursday. Luch more of the same. We will be seehng | :28:08. | :28:11. | |
brightness by the afternoon but a fairly dull picture. Those lighter | :28:12. | :28:17. | |
winds will stay with us. As we end the week, much more of the same An | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
area of high pressure is st`ying with us. Settled towards thd weekend | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
but on the whole, feeling pretty warm for the time of year. | :28:26. | :28:31. | |
That's it for now. We will see you tomorrow. Goodbye. | :28:32. | :28:45. | |
