:03:41. > :03:45.Pollsters say UKIP's performance will be pored over.
:03:46. > :03:47.If we look at their support as a whole, they do take votes from
:03:48. > :03:51.all the parties, but it is clearly the Conservatives who are stffering
:03:52. > :03:56.the most ` around about a third of UKIP's current support is coming
:03:57. > :04:03.And voters will now judge M`rk Reckless's aim ` to cut immhgration
:04:04. > :04:13.We've been out in Rochester and Strood finding out how people there
:04:14. > :04:21.Two days ago you said you wdren t defecting and quite frankly,
:04:22. > :04:27.And while I might be tempted to vote UKIP next time, I'm not going
:04:28. > :04:30.to vote for him because if xou've done it once, you'll do it `gain.
:04:31. > :04:34.He is under a great illusion if he thinks people are going to go
:04:35. > :04:39.I think there's a feeling of betrayal and I think that people
:04:40. > :04:45.It is not who, you know, his legal constituents have voted
:04:46. > :04:48.for, so I don't think that's particularly good.
:04:49. > :04:51.Doesn't bother me at all. I don t follow politics.
:04:52. > :04:57.His points are fair, he said if Conservatives would have done what
:04:58. > :05:01.they said they were going to do he wouldn't have had to defect to UKIP.
:05:02. > :05:07.I would vote for him because he's now gone to UKHP
:05:08. > :05:10.for the plain fact that it's a big step forward and I thhnk he is
:05:11. > :05:15.going to help us positively all the way through the next few years.
:05:16. > :05:24.Mark Reckless joins us now live from Strood.
:05:25. > :05:26.You've been accused of being dishonourable, of lying to
:05:27. > :05:31.colleagues about your intentions, of misleading your constitudnts
:05:32. > :05:38.how can they trust you to continue to be a good MP?
:05:39. > :05:44.Well, because I'm having a by`election. That is the re`lly
:05:45. > :05:48.crucial point. Listening to some of the ladies just then, I agrde with
:05:49. > :05:53.the sense of what they are saying. I think it only applies when xou have
:05:54. > :05:58.an MP ` and this always been the case before ` who switches party and
:05:59. > :06:01.continues to represent the same constituents in a different party
:06:02. > :06:05.and doesn't give them a say. I understand why people would be
:06:06. > :06:09.angry. People who voted for me ` I believe many people voted for me
:06:10. > :06:13.because of my record in somd of the campaigns I fought on. Some people
:06:14. > :06:17.locally voted for me becausd I had a Conservative label and that is why
:06:18. > :06:20.it is important that I have a by`election so I'm honest whth my
:06:21. > :06:24.electorate, so they get to decide what type of person is reprdsenting
:06:25. > :06:31.them. Then they can look at my record, look at what I say. Do they
:06:32. > :06:34.want to support me as UKIP or do they prefer to vote for somdbody who
:06:35. > :06:39.has a Conservative label? T`lking about being honest to your
:06:40. > :06:43.constituents, when did you start speaking to UKIP? How long have you
:06:44. > :06:46.been saying you will honour your commitments to the Conservatives
:06:47. > :06:52.whilst having talks with UKHP members? You can never disctss these
:06:53. > :06:59.things in advance. The slightest whiff to the Conservatives that I
:07:00. > :07:04.was thinking of joining UKIP, all the negative attacks you have seen
:07:05. > :07:08.them releasing, that would have happened back then. Rather than
:07:09. > :07:11.explaining the positive reasons you would have seen some of the negative
:07:12. > :07:15.attacks we have seen over the last day or two. I want to fight a
:07:16. > :07:20.positive campaign and focus on the local issues. That is why I'm
:07:21. > :07:27.campaigning in Strood. The big issue has been traffic congestion. A lot
:07:28. > :07:31.of people saying it takes two hours to get into work. We have a bus lane
:07:32. > :07:38.down there and hardly any pdople use it. Let's open it up to traffic so
:07:39. > :07:46.people can get to work, spend more time productively or with their
:07:47. > :07:50.families. Let's... People nded to get to work. Let's go back to some
:07:51. > :07:53.of the things you have been talking about. You are a die`hard
:07:54. > :07:58.Euro`sceptic, you made it clear that Europe was one of the key issues in
:07:59. > :08:02.your decision to defect. Last month, you argued that only the
:08:03. > :08:05.Conservatives could offer an in`out referendum on Europe. Were xou
:08:06. > :08:10.mistaken? Were you not tellhng the truth? Well, the Conservatives are
:08:11. > :08:14.offering a referendum, but ly concern is it won't be a fahr,
:08:15. > :08:18.straight in`out referendum that I want. The reason for that is the
:08:19. > :08:22.Prime Minister is going to pretend to renegotiate our membershhp of the
:08:23. > :08:26.EU, just like Harold Wilson did he will come back and the others will
:08:27. > :08:30.work with him and they will say things have changed, it will be much
:08:31. > :08:35.better, I have got this, we will do that, you may not like the DU, but I
:08:36. > :08:40.have renegotiated and it is good for Britain. People won't know hf that
:08:41. > :08:43.is true, but he hopes he can fool enough of the people for a small
:08:44. > :08:47.period of time to win that vote and we will not have another vote for a
:08:48. > :08:51.generation. We need that vote to be on fair terms and we saw in Scotland
:08:52. > :08:56.how important it is for fair terms and it must be that we get that
:08:57. > :09:00.straight in`out referendum so people can vote for an independent Britain.
:09:01. > :09:03.On another point, in terms of the impression that you are givhng
:09:04. > :09:08.people and giving a fair impression, UKIP has been proud to boast that it
:09:09. > :09:12.is this anti`establishment party, you have been the face of the
:09:13. > :09:16.establishment for four years. The more MPs that defect, the ldss UKIP
:09:17. > :09:21.can claim that, can't they? Well, I don't know how long it takes to
:09:22. > :09:28.become part of the establishment. I fought my seat here, it was
:09:29. > :09:40.previously called the Medwax seat for ten years, I trampled the
:09:41. > :09:44.streets and I have always tried to represent people, to get local
:09:45. > :09:48.issues solved and to try and keep the promises I make at election
:09:49. > :09:52.time. I don't want to be part of the establishment. People are fdd up
:09:53. > :10:01.with Westminster politics. They want politicians who keep their word OK.
:10:02. > :10:05.I joined UKIP to keep my promises to voters here. Thank you.
:10:06. > :10:07.Our political editor Louise Stewart joins us from
:10:08. > :10:15.Some interesting stuff from Mark Reckless, saying the Prime Linister
:10:16. > :10:21.wants to fool voters over an EU referendum. What is the feeling
:10:22. > :10:24.about his defection, partictlarly the timing of it at the Conservative
:10:25. > :10:30.Party Conference? There is ` real sense of anger here. When the first
:10:31. > :10:33.defection happened, the Conservatives were taken by
:10:34. > :10:37.surprise. This time around, they are fighting back. They want to take to
:10:38. > :10:41.fight to UKIP. He has been branded a liar by the Party Chairman Grant
:10:42. > :10:45.Shapps. He said he lied, he lied and he lied again. They want to show him
:10:46. > :10:50.as a man that cannot be trusted but there are still rumours that other
:10:51. > :10:57.MPs may try and defect to UKIP. UKIP sources say to me possibly North
:10:58. > :11:01.Kent MPs. One name that keeps being mentioned is Gordon Henderson, he
:11:02. > :11:05.contacted me today and said that he wasn't surprised by Mark Reckless's
:11:06. > :11:09.defection but he wasn't looking to himself and he didn't know of others
:11:10. > :11:13.who were. It has to be said that there is a caveat with that,
:11:14. > :11:17.obviously, as Mark Reckless said. If you are going to defect, yot will
:11:18. > :11:18.not publicly announce it beforehand. Others may be thinking twicd because
:11:19. > :11:31.of the reaction here. Thank you Half a dozen of Europe's best
:11:32. > :11:32.golfers will turn their attdntion to the World Matchplay Championship in

:11:36. > :11:39.puppy trade, where unscrupulous vets are faking dogs' passports,
:11:40. > :11:42.is operating in the South E`st. Both Eurotunnel and P ferries say
:11:43. > :11:46.they've seen a huge increasd in the numbers of dogs coming into

:12:11. > :12:14.animal being brought into the UK has to have a pet passport, showing
:12:15. > :12:19.where it is fold, how old it is and `` where it is from, how old it is
:12:20. > :12:25.and how many vaccinations it has had. The rules were relaxed to make
:12:26. > :12:28.it easier for holiday`makers to bring animals into the country.
:12:29. > :12:30.Those rules are now being exploited. I have been to France to find out

:12:37. > :12:40.designer puppies. These vans have been monitored by
:12:41. > :12:50.the authorities for months. The puppies inside have travelled

:13:55. > :13:59.dogs aren't what they appear. Our concern is that that thdre are
:14:00. > :14:04.unscrupulous vets in Europe who are signing dogs as having had `ll
:14:05. > :14:08.the correct procedures, they've followed the Pet

:19:04. > :19:08.What makes her achievement really remarkable is that she is still
:19:09. > :19:27.The winner is... It's not strprising she looks a bit stunned. Shd has
:19:28. > :19:35.just won a major talent competition to have her jewellery designs sold
:19:36. > :19:40.at Topshop. As you can see, it took me by surprise and they edited very
:19:41. > :19:44.nicely out the chunk of swe`ring I did afterwards! Now her necklaces,

:19:56. > :20:02.architecture. The London skxline is all about glass, especially The
:20:03. > :20:04.Shard. I wanted something that was glass`like, reflective, almost
:20:05. > :20:13.something that could distort clothes. Her concepts of having such

:21:01. > :21:05.terms with it now? No. Maybd I have but I don't ` it still feels if I
:21:06. > :21:14.read something about the collection, it still feels outside myself. That
:21:15. > :21:17.is nice for her! Yeah, it still feels very alien, but incredible. An

:21:48. > :21:57.Lucinda Adam went to find out more.
:21:58. > :22:07.Do you know your house dancd from your crump? It doesn't mattdr. You
:22:08. > :22:10.don't have to be an expert to enjoy the energy of this show. People can
:22:11. > :22:15.expect something different, something that they haven't seen
:22:16. > :22:20.before. Our aim is to give them something inspirational. Set in
:22:21. > :22:25.modern Tokyo, it is a story of five young troublemakers whose lhfe of
:22:26. > :22:29.gang fighting is turned arotnd by a motivational kung fu teacher all
:22:30. > :22:34.portrayed in dance. From th`t, you see a transition. You see a
:22:35. > :22:38.metamorphosis within them whth regards to their movement and
:22:39. > :22:43.attitude. It brings that belief and that aspiration to life on stage.
:22:44. > :22:47.You might not think you are familiar with their work, but do you remember

:23:03. > :23:06.from the beginning to the end. The opportunity to see that grow and
:23:07. > :23:11.turn into what it was ` I w`tched it on TV and it was awesome. London may

:23:19. > :23:21.it? Taking it to some regions which may not have seen hip`hop d`nce it
:23:22. > :23:25.will be inspirational for the young people as well as for their parents
:23:26. > :23:31.and anyone else who comes to watch it to say OK this is another way of
:23:32. > :23:42.showing theatre. The show comes to Brighton Dome next week.

:24:42. > :25:01.Like the Ryder Cup, golfers will be playing against each othdr,
:25:02. > :25:06.There is an ebb and flow to these matches and this golf coursd, the
:25:07. > :25:08.playing lends itself to the crowd being able to move freely bdtween
:25:09. > :25:10.different holes and catch up on different matches as they move on.
:25:11. > :25:12.It's a great atmosphere bec`use of that.
:25:13. > :25:14.For non`golfers as well, it is an easy format to follow.
:25:15. > :25:16.People know they are watching a match and somebody is winning

:25:18. > :25:19.Previous tournaments like the European Open have been

:25:22. > :25:26.The spectator galleries herd are natural, they were designed
:25:27. > :25:28.from the offset, so there's great viewing places where you can watch

:25:33. > :25:34.There has been some great golf played here over the last couple

:25:38. > :26:01.Didn't September do well? It is It is going to be mostly dry, still
:26:02. > :26:05.feeling pretty warm. Early fog first thing. The odd shower potentially
:26:06. > :26:09.during the morning, but mostly we stay dry. Wednesday, we will be
:26:10. > :26:13.seeing some outbreaks of rahn. We are dry for Thursday. Look what is
:26:14. > :26:16.heading our way as we head towards the weekend. The winds are really
:26:17. > :26:20.picking up. Some heavy rain by the time we get to Saturday. It is a
:26:21. > :26:23.cold front. Also, it will bd heralding some much cooler `ir, so
:26:24. > :26:27.the winds are going to be noticeable, they will be picking up
:26:28. > :26:32.from a south`westerly direction We will see rain at times. And it will
:26:33. > :26:38.feel markedly cooler. We will get to that in a moment. For today,
:26:39. > :26:43.temperatures are still feelhng warm for the time of year. Highs of 8,
:26:44. > :26:47.19 degrees. Normally, we wotld expect them to be around 16 or 7.
:26:48. > :26:51.Into tonight, we will hold on to that cloud and clearer skies. Where
:26:52. > :26:56.you see the clearer skies, we will see some mist and fog patchds
:26:57. > :27:00.forming. It will be staying mild. Temperatures only dropping to 1 or
:27:01. > :27:04.15 degrees. So, quite overc`st as we start the day tomorrow. Any mist and
:27:05. > :27:07.fog will be quite stubborn to clear. Potentially, one or two showers
:27:08. > :27:11.during the morning. Mostly for us, it will be a settled picturd. That
:27:12. > :27:15.rain staying to the west of us. Quite a bit of cloud cover during
:27:16. > :27:18.the morning. By the afternoon, we have fairly light winds, so where
:27:19. > :27:23.you see the sunshine, it will be feeling pleasant. Temperatures again
:27:24. > :27:28.perhaps 18 or 19 degrees. So, as we head through tomorrow night, it
:27:29. > :27:31.stays settled. Quite a bit of cloud cover around. Where you see the
:27:32. > :27:35.clearer skies, more in terms of mist and fog. Wednesday, we have showers.
:27:36. > :27:39.Thursday is mostly settled. The winds will really pick up for Friday
:27:40. > :27:46.and heavy rain by then. New month, new weather! Thank you. Before we

:28:01. > :28:03.houses are being maintained. In one flat, the programme found a front
