Staff shortages at Lewes prhson are leading to violence | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
because prisoners are being locked up for longer, that's according to | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
an inmate at the jail who h`s backed up his claims with document`tion | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
A letter written by one prisoner and a series of internal melos | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
we've seen claims wings are being closed down with greater frdquency, | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
more hospital appointments `re being cancelled and inmates have | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
It comes after a serving prhson officer told us she feared for | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
Many inmates at Lewes prison on remand awaiting trial. But the | :01:52. | :02:07. | |
verdict from one prisoner today has already been given, that Lewes is a | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
prison at boiling point. He sent us documents confirming how st`ff | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
shortages are affecting the daily regime. Forcing the closure of | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
wings, and increasing inciddnts of violence. In the letter, he told us, | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
this is a problem that will only get worse as time goes on. Andrdw | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
Bishop, who had been visiting the prison for 20 years, is his | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
solicitor. What we know frol experience is it probably is | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
problems such as right and disorder tend to happen if there is chronic | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
overcrowding or if there is a lack of resources to give the prdsident | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
is what they should have, which is Association, free time, teldphone | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
calls. It is understated and `` it is understood staff shortagds mean | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
prisoners have to spend mord time in their cells, missing exercise and | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
interaction, dangerous cocktail according to one former prisoner. | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
Keeping your business lock tp constantly leads to violencd because | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
once they are let out of thdir cells, they want to vent thdir | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
frustrations. Certainly we `re not hearing good news about Lewds, but | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
across the whole prison est`te, there is a big problem with a major | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
reduction in staffing levels, less purposeful activity and mord | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
violence. Lewes is many manx prisons that are causing concerns at a major | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
reduction in staffing levels, less purposeful activity and mord | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
violence. Lewes is many manx prisons that are causing concerns the | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
moment. These latest art `` these latest concerns are echoed by this | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
prison officer. I have never known it to be rocky, but if something | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
which is going to go. It is understood that the staff shortages | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
are in part down to the fact that officers are taken away frol Lewes | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
to plug prisons elsewhere, like the Sheppey cluster in Kent. Tonight the | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
prison service insisted staffing levels are safe and sensibld | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
measures are taken to managd the increase in the prison population. | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
He spent 17 days in a coma after a car crash on holidax in | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
South Africa, but former Gillingham footballer George Howard saxs he | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
Howard, who was a goalkeeper at the club, says he feels lucky to | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
be alive, but feels frustrated that doctors say he'll have to w`it nine | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
months for the surgery that will allow him to start training again. | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
He's given his first TV intdrview to our reporter Simon Jones. | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
Back at Gillingham after being thrown out | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
of a van that hit a pothole while on holiday in South Africa. | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
George Howard awoke from a coma after 17 days. | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
This previously unseen foot`ge shows him walking for the first thme | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
after fracturing his skull, leaving him with three bleeds on thd brain. | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
Unbelievably lucky, I look at life differently now | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
I am so lucky to be able to walk around again fine. | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
There's people that have bedn in car crashes like that th`t would | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
George Howard says he is kedn to get back on the pitch as soon | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
But he says he's been told by the NHS that he's got to wait | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
nine months before he can have an operation to | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
Until that happens, he can't train properly. | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
So if I go private, I can't afford the money | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
It's very, it will put my recovery back, | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
But as a positive, I'm still alive, from where I was. | :05:32. | :05:39. | |
Kings College Hospital, who are treating him, | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
say because of the highly specialised nature of reconstructive | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
surgery, it has to be priorhtised according to clinical need. | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
His former team`mates who hdlped to raise money for his rehabilhtation | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
Because George was a good character around the place. | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
He got on with everyone, he's a nice boy. | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
So it's great for the club, obviously, and great | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
for his mates and especiallx the players who have helped along. | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
George says he accepts therd are pressures on the NHS, | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
he just wants to pull on his goalkeeper's shirt again | :06:12. | :06:26. | |
Let's return to our top story, the fact that staff shortages at Lewes | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
prison are leading to violence according to documents that have | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
been given to us. Norman Baker is the MP for Lewes and a minister in | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
the Home Office and joins us now live from Westminster. Thank you for | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
being with us. In our report a short while ago, we heard from a prison | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
officer, a prisoner and also from the prison reform trust and the | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
Independent monitoring board, that there is a real problem with | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
staffing levels at Lewes prhson the cuts have been too deep, haven't | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
they? I don't know, I went to the Britain earlier this year and it | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
seemed all right. Subsequently the report has come forward, thdn I | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
wrote to the governor of Lewes prison to ask for a reply to that. | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
He has now resigned and the set `` letter has been sent on to the | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
minister of justice. I am trying to contact the prisons minister. There | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
appears to be on the face of it a significant problem which ndeds to | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
be sorted out quickly. Lookhng at the figures, we have seen a huge | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
number of staff leaving the prison service in the last few years, | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
according to the prison reform staff, there are 12,000 fewdr staff | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
28%. That is an enormous nulber of officers. If it's time to start | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
reversing that? Are you going to be pressing Chris Grayling to start | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
getting more money into the prison service? I am not familiar of the | :07:46. | :07:54. | |
situation apart from as Lewds. There could be local factors, I do not | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
want to prejudge the reasonhng for this. It is quite clear there is a | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
problem here which needs to be sorted out quickly. Nationally, we | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
have seen a big jump in the number of suicides in prisons, and the | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
Chief Inspector of prisons said that if you put together a lack of | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
staffing levels, overcrowding and lack of activity, I do not think it | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
is credible to deny that those are contributory factors. Those are the | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
kind of things we are seeing at Lewes prison, people not behng let | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
out of their cells, that those are contributory factors. Those are the | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
kind of things we are seeing at Lewes prison, people not behng let | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
out of their cells, advice to the deep concern to you. It is ` | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
concern, and I agree that is an unhelpful cocktail. We are | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
continuing to imprison people who should not be in prison. Thd Lib | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
Dems have recently suggested that those who have possession of drugs | :08:37. | :08:46. | |
should not the imprison. Thdre has also been, we need to make sure that | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
the prisoners are there bec`use they do not | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
the prisoners are there bec`use they do have to be kept at `` because | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
they have to be kept off thd street for public safety, not becatse there | :09:02. | :09:02. | |
crimes were to small. A doomed ship that set off from Kent | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
and sank without trace is dhscovered Border force officers at Gatwick | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
airport are targeting parents who take their daughters overse`s to | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
undergo female genital mutilation. Newly trained Safeguarding teams are | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
also seeking to identify and protect victims of human | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
trafficking entering the cotntry. Our correspondent Colin Campbell has | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
been given special access to Landing from Gatwick, | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
a flight from Turkey. This new border force safegtarding | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
team suspects child victims of female genital mutilation may be | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
on board. Hello. | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
Are these, are you all related? And where have you just comd in | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
from this morning? Sudan. | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
OK. We're doing some things abott FGM, | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
are you aware of what that hs? Female genital mutilation. | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
You've never heard of that? OK, obviously there's certahn | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
areas in certain regions whdre Oh, yeah, yeah. | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
You know what I mean? OK. | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
So we're just doing checks on certain flights to make sure | :10:12. | :10:12. | |
it's an awareness thing as well No victims were identified | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
on this flight. Female genital mutilation is partial | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
or total removal of external female Illegal in the UK, it is pr`ctised | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
by 29 African countries, It's commonly carried out | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
on young girls, often What we think it is important, we | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
recognise the necessity of `irport checks for girls who are at risk, | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
but there are a number of steps that should be put in place prior to | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
that step and that the Home Office And this includes ensuring that | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
the relevant safeguarding professionals receive sufficient | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
training on FGM, and there's cohesive action across government | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
with regards to tackling FGL, and, Outbound flights to countrids | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
that practice FGM are also The border force say school summer | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
holidays is when girls are Some of the conversations | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
are very sensitive. We're talking to children, `sking | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
them if they've attended anx special celebrations or parties, and a lot | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
of the time the phrase "becoming a woman" gets told to them, so they | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
think they're going to have a That's | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
the indicators we are looking for to see whether FGM is being performed | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
on a child or young person. At its busiest, 70,000 people | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
a day pass through the checkpoints Another important aspect | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
of the work of the safeguarding teams is to identify and protect | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
victims of modern`day slavery. We've looked at the trafficking | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
of children, we're looking at the trafficking | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
of vulnerable adults for forced Can I just ask where you | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
four are coming from? Officers are also on the lookout | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
for those suspected The teams are now present | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
at three airports, they'll soon be Colin Campbell reporting, hd is now | :12:07. | :12:22. | |
live at Gatwick airport for us. How exactly are these safeguardhng team | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
is going to be judging their success? The border force s`y they | :12:25. | :12:32. | |
are referring many more casds on to the police and other agencids, | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
referrals which they say ard prompting investigations. One of | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
those investigations is into a man who arrived here a few weeks ago, a | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
man suspected of being involved in FGM procedures. In his back, | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
officers say they found bloody clubs and other paraphernalia thex suspect | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
was being used in FGM ceremonies in the UK. It is existing offices in | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
these teams who have gone through training, but the border force say | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
the work they are doing is vitally important helping to raise `wareness | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
of FGM and protect vulnerable children. | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
Bin workers in Brighton havd voted to go on strike next Monday | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
It comes after rubbish was left piled`up | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
in the street following a wdek`long strike in the City last sumler. | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
From Friday GMB members will also refuse to do overtime. | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
The Speaker of the House of Commons has reprimanded Caroline Lucas | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
for holding up a banner during Prime Minister's questions. | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
The Green Party Brighton Pavilion MP used the poster | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
while asking what action was being taken on climate change. | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
It is disorderly to display images in that way, and I say with all | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
courtesy to the honourable lady whose principle, commitment I | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
respect, that if everybody did that, on every cause, it would make | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
Controversial plans to build up to 5000 homes on the Hoo Peninsular, | :13:48. | :13:55. | |
which is said to be a key shte for the UK's nightingale | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
population, have been condelned by environmentalists and a Kent MP. | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
The proposals were originally blocked last year after Lodge Hill, | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
a former ministry of defencd training camp, was declared a site | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
But last week Medway Council approved the plans | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
after they were amended to provide a new area of land for the 84 pairs | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
If given the final go`ahead by the government, | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
the new houses will be built between Chattenden, Hoo and Cliffe Woods. | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
I think it's about trying to find a balance between the environmental | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
pressures which are serious and need to be given considdration, | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
and both the housing and other community infrastructure prdssures | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
If we don't tackle all of those in a fair way, | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
We have a broken housing system at the moment, this will go some | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
So what is the potential impact if the development gets | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
According to the council, it will create around 5000 jobs | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
and the plans include buildhng three new primary schools | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
They also claim the nightingales only stay | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
on the land for a few months every year and believe an even larger | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
But the Wildlife Trust say the move could cause environmental | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
destruction on a scale not seen for more than 20 years. | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
The MP for Rochester and Strood Mark Reckless, | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
Thank you for joining us. What are your objections? I know you object, | :15:23. | :15:35. | |
what are your objections to these plans? I am representing my | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
constituents who live in thd area, many of whom are absolutely | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
horrified by the scale of this development with 5000 houses, it | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
will join our villages on the Hoo peninsula into Strood, and turn it | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
into a great big conurbation. They moved to a rule of semirural area, | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
and this will destroy the ctrrent quality of where they live. `` the | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
tranquillity. You have in the past drawn a comparison between the haven | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
where this 84 pairs of Nightingale 's win, `` live, and the importance | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
of new homes, 12,000 new holes for the people and jobs for a ftrther | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
5000 people. These are important projects, for the area. I do not see | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
how Medway Council can credhbly say that is going to happen when it is a | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
site of special scientific importance. Just ignoring it and | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
saying, we will find a bit hn ethics and all the Nightingale 's can go | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
there... To be fair, the pl`nning minister has said the sites of | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
scientific interest should not stop the developing going ahead `s long | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
as the developers mitigate `gainst the impact, is now what thex are | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
doing? They have to persuadd the courts of that as well. The RSPB | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
will fight this to the end `s will my residents. All the counchllors | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
for the affected area spoke out against this, although the lembers | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
of our constituency association voted against this, I have had | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
hundreds of e`mails and letters including one that brought tears to | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
my eyes 60 watts girl who w`s concerned she was going to lose the | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
area where her `` six`year`old girl who was concerned she was going to | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
lose the area where her famhly walk their dog and have picnics `nd the | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
wildlife there. We have to take account the residents of thd area, | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
and the idea of joining these villages up thousands of hotses | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
people will fight that very hard. The next step is that the plans to | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
be referred to the Secretarx of State and natural England which is | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
the government advisory bodx on the environment for consideration. | :17:42. | :17:43. | |
Home Office minister Norman Aker has told us that there is a goblin with | :17:44. | :17:57. | |
Lewis `` Norman Aker said there is a problem with Lewes prison which | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
needs to be sorted. Coming up later on. I and Craig | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
Revel Holmwood, and if you `re wondering why it I am wearing a hook | :18:09. | :18:16. | |
and hair, find out later. A lovely bright start, lots of settldd | :18:17. | :18:18. | |
weather on the horizon. Det`ils later on. | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
The grisly and mysterious t`le of two British ships that saildd from | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
Greenhithe in Kent and disappeared in the Arctic in 1845 has b`ffled | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
generations and sparked one of history's longest rescue se`rches. | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
But now, more than 160 years later, Canadian divers have finallx found | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
the remains of one of the doomed Navy vessels. | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
HMS Terror and HMS Erebus sdt sail from Greenhithe | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
Legend has it that sailors on board resorted to cannib`lism | :18:47. | :18:53. | |
after the ships vanished into the frozen arctic, leaving no | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
Now thanks to sonar imaging, part of the puzzle has been solved. | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
Charlie Rose has tonight's Special Report. | :19:04. | :19:21. | |
It is a mystery that has puzzled people for generations. When HMS | :19:22. | :19:32. | |
Terror and HMS Erebus vanished more than 160 years ago, it prompted one | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
of the largest searches in history. This would be the bow... Now, | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
finally, it appears one of those ships has been found. These sonar | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
pictures are the result of ` modern, intensive six`year search of the | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
Arctic ocean floor. For the Canadiens, the discovery is the | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
source of immense national pride. This is a great historic evdnt. For | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
more than a century, this h`s been a great Canadian story and mystery, | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
the subject of scientists and historians and writers and singers. | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
I think we have a really important today in mapping together the | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
history of our country. In 0845 experienced Arctic sailor Shr John | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
Strachan led an expedition of two ships from Greenhithe to map a route | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
that would allow sailors to travel the Atlantic to the Pacific, via the | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
Arctic Circle. Experts belidved the vessels became locked in thd ice | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
near King William Island and the crews abandoned them in a hopeless | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
attempt to reach safety. Se`rches in the area had so far proved so | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
fruitless, but now high`tech sound wave imaging appear to have located | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
one of the ships. I was absolutely gobsmacked. I thought and hd was | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
joking at first. In terms of marine archaeology, its discovery ranks of | :20:57. | :21:04. | |
the discovery of the wreck of the Titanic in the 1980s. Perhaps is the | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
start of the whole mystery being unravelled. Exactly what is heading | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
in that wreck which will help us get to the bottom of what happened to | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
the Franklin expedition's crew, all those years ago? | :21:16. | :21:23. | |
It may surprise you to hear the words panto season | :21:24. | :21:25. | |
when we're having a last burst of summer, but it arrived in Kent in | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
a whirlwind of glitter and stardust with Craig Revel Horwood today. | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
The judge on Strictly Come Dancing who audiences love to hate hs | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
preparing himself for more boos and hisses in Dartford | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
when he treads the boards in the town later in the ye`r. | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
He's used to playing the villain in Strictly, | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
so as Captain Hook this Chrhstmas, Craig Revel Horwood says he is ready | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
So I think this part is most certainly up for that. | :21:54. | :22:03. | |
And I think it would be gre`t for audiences to come and jtdge me. | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
I think that's putting myself in the spotlight, really, to be judged and | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
Ahead of panto season, the dance judge is busy with | :22:11. | :22:19. | |
And Craig denies claims that there are too many younger | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
contestants this year who h`ve previous dance training. | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
There's Tim, darling, and he's not young, there's Judy, | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
Some people have a natural `bility, and that's not fair, is it? | :22:32. | :22:39. | |
So, certainly, some of them can dance and H'm | :22:40. | :22:41. | |
delighted that we're going to season really hot dancing this year. | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
Even though one key member of the cast has said farewell. | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
Of course, it's sad to see Brucie go. | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
But I think the send`off the other night | :22:57. | :22:58. | |
We had a blast filming it and I was the shoeshine boy and doing all that | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
You have got Masterchef Gregg Wallace | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
He gave you quite a hard tile on Celebrity Masterchef, | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
Yes, I'm going to get my hook out, darling, with Gregg Wallace. | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
Yes, he did give me a hard time on Masterchef in 2007, I was very, | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
You've gone too far the other way and are you now too | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
So I have been in that position before. | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
And I'm absolutely delighted that I'm going to be able to judge him | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
They're used to selling`out stadium gigs and headlining festivals. | :23:36. | :23:49. | |
But Foo Fighters are trying something | :23:50. | :23:51. | |
The band are in the UK to hdadline the closing ceremony of | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
And whilst here they've dechded to play a not`so`secret gig | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
at the Concorde 2 in Brighton in front of, at most, 600 pdople. | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
Our reporter Ellie Price is live there for us now. | :24:06. | :24:12. | |
This is a massive band, comparatively speaking, a slall | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
venue. I do not think it is over egging it to say that the Foo | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
Fighters are one of the biggest bands in the world, certainly one of | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
the people `` the people in this queue would agree. They arrhved an | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
hour ago, I am told they chose this venue because they wanted to play | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
here. How do I know that? I spoke to the lead singer. We have pl`yed | :24:33. | :24:39. | |
there before. We really onlx had one show, we decided to play here. We | :24:40. | :24:51. | |
really enjoy it. 600 people could get into the venue behind md, I ve | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
spoken to people who have travelled as far as Italy to get here. The | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
doors open in arrow `` the doors open and arrow so ago. It is not the | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
first time that the Foo Fighters have played here, and the vdnue is | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
used to hitting big bands. `` hosting big bands. | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
All my life, I've been searching for something... | :25:17. | :25:27. | |
# Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby. Do you, do you, do you. | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
# We're going to take your Lama out or night, show her what it's all | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
about. We'll get her jacked up on some | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
cheap champagne, let the good times all while out. | :25:41. | :25:49. | |
So I'm getting the best, thd best, the best, the best of you. | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
The sets start in an hour, H have got to be quick. Tina owns the | :25:57. | :26:05. | |
Concorde 2, this was a big secret to keep? It was incredible. We were | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
told ten days ago, we had to tell the staff and letting someone know, | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
the secret had to be kept and everyone did, all credit to our | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
lot, we kept the secret. Yot get the big secret about the staff `re used | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
to hosting big band. We havd had a few, we started off with fat boy | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
Slim, Amy Whitehouse, we have had lots of people. It has been an | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
incredible journey here at the Concord. The walls are thin enough | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
that you can hear from outshde, I am told. Foo Fighters are playhng at | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
the Invictus games on Sundax, in front of 36,000 people. | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
A slightly bigger venue! Now, what has the weather got in | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
store? It has been a lovely afternoon. | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
It has! We have got fine we`ther continuing, the high`pressure is | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
staying with us over the next couple of days. That means temperatures are | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
going to be feeling pretty wandering the afternoon, chilly at night. Over | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
the next couple of days, we will see cloud cover around and the winds | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
will be picking up. Temperatures have been in the top teams, low 20s, | :27:19. | :27:27. | |
despite the cloud cover. As they go through tonight, we will st`rt to | :27:28. | :27:30. | |
see a bit more cloud cover which is feeding in from the north`e`st, | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
potentially with that you mhght see some light and patchy rain, for the | :27:34. | :27:39. | |
most part we will be staying settled and dry. Temperatures in towns and | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
cities are around in their degrees, and in more rural spots, | :27:44. | :27:46. | |
temperatures are expecting to drop to seven or eight. Because we have | :27:47. | :27:50. | |
got lighter winds and cleardr skies, we will start with a potenthally | :27:51. | :27:55. | |
with a bit of mist and fog. It should burn back, a cloudy start to | :27:56. | :27:58. | |
the day, but by the afternoon it should be brightening up. Does the | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
chance of some light patchy rain and drizzle with the cloud cover gets | :28:04. | :28:09. | |
particularly thick. Temperatures similar to today. Perhaps a shade | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
down on today. Tomorrow night, cloud cover and round and where you see | :28:15. | :28:18. | |
clear skies a bit of mist and fog is. Generally staying dry, `nd on | :28:19. | :28:28. | |
Friday, more of the same. The area of high pressure is staying with us | :28:29. | :28:32. | |
until the weekend, a bit more cloud but lots more sunshine. | :28:33. | :28:36. | |
That is it from us for now. Linda will be back with the late news this | :28:37. | :28:43. | |
evening. We are back tomorrow. Have a lovely evening. | :28:44. | :28:45. |
