ended. And | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
The MP for Rochester and Strood Mark Reckless, has today announced | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
that he's leaving the Conservative Party to join TKIP | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
at the UKIP party conferencd in Doncaster. | :00:22. | :00:31. | |
It is a decision I make from optimism. | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
A decision that is born of belief that Britain can be better | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
and of my knowledge of how the Westminster parties hold us back, | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
but also of my belief in the fresh start UKIP offdrs. | :00:43. | :00:51. | |
This was the reaction in his constituency today. | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
and he is probably one of the last people | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
I would have thought would do such a thing as th`t. | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
I think at the end of the day | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
I am very surprised and a little sad. | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
I deeply disapprove of both the Conservative party | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
and UKIP, so I am not reallx very bothered which of them have him | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
Well, our political reporter Louise Stewart joins us now. | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
Was this? That a surprising was this? | :01:20. | :01:34. | |
People in the constituency where taken by surprise. There have been | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
rumours circulating Westminster for some time that he might defdct | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
because he is very good fridnds with the MP who defected a coupld of | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
weeks ago. I asked him a cotple of weeks ago and he denied it `nd in a | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
statement, his Conservative Party Chairman said today that he ask him | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
48 hours ago and he gave assurances that he was not looking to defect. | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
One of the most remarkable things is that UKIP have now claimed to | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
conservatives and nobody has known about it until it has happened. | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
How damaging is this? Very. Mark reckless has triggered a | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
by`election in his constitudncy He has a comfortable majority of around | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
10,000. UKIP could have thehr 1st MPs at Westminster in a couple | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
weeks, which would be a hugd coup for Nigel Farage but damaging for | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
David Cameron. The Catholic Bishop of Brighton has | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
resigned. In a statement, the Bishop, whose diocese covers for the | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
grants, said he had been unfaithful to his promises as a Catholhc priest | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
but said his actions not illegal and did not involve a minor. | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
A demonstration in support of lorry drivers, | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
which claimed it would blockade the Port of Dover, | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
has passed peacefully, according to police. | :02:50. | :02:50. | |
Around 50 people attended the march near the port, | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
due to a row over migrants trying to cross the channel from Calahs. | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
But many of those involved had come for political reasons | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
and were not lorry drivers themselves. | :03:01. | :03:14. | |
There were jubilant scenes on Eastbourne's fire damaged pier | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
today, as it re`opened to the publhc. | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
The main ballroom of the listed Victorian strtcture | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
But almost two months on, traders have moved back in and hundreds | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
It is right for the traders, but also the public, who have got a | :03:31. | :03:46. | |
tremendous interest in what happened and wanted to see what work is | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
taking place and also the d`mage. As they go down the walkways, they will | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
see that. Let's take a look at what the | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
weather has in store. Well, a pleasant day today | :03:55. | :03:57. | |

more chilly than last night. and some rather impressive | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
temperatures, As we head into the beginning | :04:14. | :04:23. | |
of next week, there is the threat of showdrs on | :04:24. | :04:32. | |
Monday afternoon and Wednesday, but things settle down towards the | :04:33. | :04:34. | |

tomorrow. Good evening. A stagnant September | :04:58. | :05:20. | |
weather story continues. Today has been no exception. Rather quiet but | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
fairly cloudy. There have been some breaks across East Anglia with | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
temperatures up to 22 this afternoon. We could see some clearer | :05:30. | :05:33. | |

cloudy and breezy into the North West with a weak weather front | :05:41. | :05:44. | |

could be rain. Temperatures holding in double figures elsewhere. We | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
start tomorrow with a misty and murky start in the | :05:55. | :05:55. |
