:06:46. > :06:48.being with us. In our report a short while ago, we heard from a prison
:06:49. > :06:51.officer, a prisoner and also from the prison reform trust and the
:06:52. > :06:57.Independent monitoring board, that there is a real problem with
:06:58. > :07:01.staffing levels at Lewes prhson the cuts have been too deep, haven't
:07:02. > :07:05.they? I don't know, I went to the Britain earlier this year and it
:07:06. > :07:08.seemed all right. Subsequently the report has come forward, thdn I
:07:09. > :07:14.wrote to the governor of Lewes prison to ask for a reply to that.
:07:15. > :07:18.He has now resigned and the set `` letter has been sent on to the
:07:19. > :07:21.minister of justice. I am trying to contact the prisons minister. There
:07:22. > :07:25.appears to be on the face of it a significant problem which ndeds to
:07:26. > :07:28.be sorted out quickly. Lookhng at the figures, we have seen a huge
:07:29. > :07:31.number of staff leaving the prison service in the last few years,
:07:32. > :07:38.according to the prison reform staff, there are 12,000 fewdr staff
:07:39. > :07:43.28%. That is an enormous nulber of officers. If it's time to start
:07:44. > :07:45.reversing that? Are you going to be pressing Chris Grayling to start
:07:46. > :07:54.getting more money into the prison service? I am not familiar of the
:07:55. > :07:57.situation apart from as Lewds. There could be local factors, I do not
:07:58. > :08:00.want to prejudge the reasonhng for this. It is quite clear there is a
:08:01. > :08:05.problem here which needs to be sorted out quickly. Nationally, we
:08:06. > :08:08.have seen a big jump in the number of suicides in prisons, and the
:08:09. > :08:12.Chief Inspector of prisons said that if you put together a lack of
:08:13. > :08:16.staffing levels, overcrowding and lack of activity, I do not think it
:08:17. > :08:19.is credible to deny that those are contributory factors. Those are the

:27:00. > :27:05.It has! We have got fine we`ther continuing, the high`pressure is
:27:06. > :27:09.staying with us over the next couple of days. That means temperatures are
:27:10. > :27:14.going to be feeling pretty wandering the afternoon, chilly at night. Over
:27:15. > :27:18.the next couple of days, we will see cloud cover around and the winds
:27:19. > :27:27.will be picking up. Temperatures have been in the top teams, low 20s,
:27:28. > :27:30.despite the cloud cover. As they go through tonight, we will st`rt to
:27:31. > :27:33.see a bit more cloud cover which is feeding in from the north`e`st,
:27:34. > :27:39.potentially with that you mhght see some light and patchy rain, for the
:27:40. > :27:43.most part we will be staying settled and dry. Temperatures in towns and
:27:44. > :27:46.cities are around in their degrees, and in more rural spots,
:27:47. > :27:50.temperatures are expecting to drop to seven or eight. Because we have
:27:51. > :27:55.got lighter winds and cleardr skies, we will start with a potenthally
:27:56. > :27:58.with a bit of mist and fog. It should burn back, a cloudy start to
:27:59. > :28:03.the day, but by the afternoon it should be brightening up. Does the
:28:04. > :28:09.chance of some light patchy rain and drizzle with the cloud cover gets
:28:10. > :28:14.particularly thick. Temperatures similar to today. Perhaps a shade
:28:15. > :28:18.down on today. Tomorrow night, cloud cover and round and where you see
:28:19. > :28:28.clear skies a bit of mist and fog is. Generally staying dry, `nd on
:28:29. > :28:32.Friday, more of the same. The area of high pressure is staying with us
:28:33. > :28:36.until the weekend, a bit more cloud but lots more sunshine.
:28:37. > :28:43.That is it from us for now. Linda will be back with the late news this
:28:44. > :28:45.evening. We are back tomorrow. Have a lovely evening.
