:00:00. > :00:00.and on BBC One, we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.
:00:00. > :00:08.Welcome to South East Today. I'm Rob Smith.
:00:09. > :00:15.And I'm Natalie Graham. Tonight's top stories -
:00:16. > :00:17.The Government blunder which meant pollution levels
:00:18. > :00:19.at the Dartford Crossing was ignored - because it was classified
:00:20. > :00:23.We're live at Dartford with the story.
:00:24. > :00:25.Fresh controversy over the prospective Kent councillors
:00:26. > :00:32.who sold off charitable donations to raise Labour Party funds.
:00:33. > :00:36.I asked her what she wanted on that board and the word charity was
:00:37. > :00:38.clearly absolutely there. A former Sussex soldier is murdered
:00:39. > :00:44.on his safari estate in Kenya - Controversial plans to build
:00:45. > :00:48.on Winnie the Pooh's Hundred Acre Wood -
:00:49. > :00:51.councillors warn they may be forced to accept development
:00:52. > :00:54.in the Ashdown Forest. And how a Facebook plea led
:00:55. > :00:56.to a hundred people turning out for the funeral of a veteran soldier
:00:57. > :00:59.after he died alone It's one of the busiest sections
:01:00. > :01:16.of road in the country - and air pollution levels
:01:17. > :01:19.there regularly exceed the safe limit - but until two years ago,
:01:20. > :01:22.the Dartford Crossing was classified The error means the levels
:01:23. > :01:27.of pollution there have Crucially, it also means
:01:28. > :01:32.the results haven't been passed on to the European Union,
:01:33. > :01:35.which can impose fines when safety The mistake was revealed
:01:36. > :01:40.exclusively to BBC South East by Dartford Borough Council -
:01:41. > :01:42.their Head of Transport has described the
:01:43. > :01:44.revelation as shocking. 50 million journeys are made on this
:01:45. > :01:55.stretch of road every year, the towns closest, Dartford
:01:56. > :01:57.to the south and the Thurrock to the north have some
:01:58. > :02:00.of the highest percentages of deaths due to air pollution
:02:01. > :02:03.in the south-east. In Dartford the council has recorded
:02:04. > :02:06.nitrogen dioxide levels above safe limits for years,
:02:07. > :02:09.and when the town did not appear in the national air quality
:02:10. > :02:11.plan, they were puzzled. We discovered that the road
:02:12. > :02:19.was classed as a rural road and therefore the monitoring figures
:02:20. > :02:23.that they were using for those modelling purposes
:02:24. > :02:26.were incorrect because the road was incorrectly classified.
:02:27. > :02:29.It is quite shocking. It has meant that for years national
:02:30. > :02:32.data on air pollution has not included this incredibly busy
:02:33. > :02:38.stretch of road. Whoever decided there is no pushing
:02:39. > :02:41.around here must be, probably doesn't live in Dartford
:02:42. > :02:46.to be honest. I have two small children
:02:47. > :02:48.and regularly if you leave your you notice that several
:02:49. > :02:51.times a day or week there A roads can count as rural if they
:02:52. > :03:09.are outside urban areas. Jim Sutton lives close
:03:10. > :03:11.to the crossing and is worried that pollution
:03:12. > :03:14.exacerbated his late The air pollution did not
:03:15. > :03:20.help her, she used to say I wish we could move, Jim,
:03:21. > :03:31.I wish we could move. Scientists from kings college have
:03:32. > :03:35.carried out their own monitoring. The pollution which the road is
:03:36. > :03:37.producing everyday with the traffic on it was joined up with pollution
:03:38. > :03:39.coming over from the continent. The Department for the Environment
:03:40. > :03:42.said that the Department for Transport made
:03:43. > :03:44.the classification. The Department for Transport said
:03:45. > :03:46.it was the Department Either way, it has finally been
:03:47. > :03:54.reclassified as urban. Well, Sara is on the approach
:03:55. > :03:56.to the Dartford Crossing now. Sara, this is more than just a mix
:03:57. > :04:06.up over names isn't it? It is because it means the impact of
:04:07. > :04:10.this road on those who live either side of it, and there are lots of
:04:11. > :04:15.them, has never been considered by the government and when levels of
:04:16. > :04:19.pollution go up above those agreed by the EU, there has been no
:04:20. > :04:22.penalty. This on the day that the head of the World Health
:04:23. > :04:28.Organisation described air pollution is one of the most pernicious
:04:29. > :04:31.threats facing global public health. It is disproportionately affecting
:04:32. > :04:32.children and every year, it is linked to hundreds of thousands of
:04:33. > :04:34.deaths of children. And tonight's episode of Inside Out
:04:35. > :04:37.has the full story of how the road was re-classified -
:04:38. > :04:40.and the true picture of pollution at There's fresh controversy tonight
:04:41. > :04:48.over hundreds of pounds of cosmetics that should have gone to needy
:04:49. > :04:51.people but were instead sold by a Labour party
:04:52. > :04:55.member in Ramsgate to help fund her County Council
:04:56. > :04:57.election campaign. BBC South East Today has spoken
:04:58. > :05:01.to one woman who told us she was led to believe the sale was in aid
:05:02. > :05:04.of charity - and says she feels "deceived".
:05:05. > :05:06.The equivalent amount of money raised has now been
:05:07. > :05:09.given to good causes. Our political editor
:05:10. > :05:12.Helen Catt reports. This sale of donated
:05:13. > :05:15.cosmetics in a Ramsgate pub Facebook posts by its organiser
:05:16. > :05:21.Karen Constantine made clear that the money was destined
:05:22. > :05:25.for Labour coffers, but now there are claims that customers
:05:26. > :05:28.of the sale may have thought I asked her what she wanted on that
:05:29. > :05:41.board and the word charity Natalie Garrett was working
:05:42. > :05:45.at the pub during the sale. As a former charity
:05:46. > :05:47.volunteer herself, she said Some of my friends and even some
:05:48. > :05:53.of my family purchased some of the goody bags and a couple
:05:54. > :05:56.of items and again, they feel the same, if they'd known
:05:57. > :05:59.it was for a political party, then it just wouldn't
:06:00. > :06:00.have been supported. Here we are in the warehouse
:06:01. > :06:03.and we were fortunate enough The sale has already caused
:06:04. > :06:10.controversy after it emerged the donations had come
:06:11. > :06:12.from a charity - Food For All. Today, it is one of the good causes,
:06:13. > :06:16.one of the good causes that which happens to be
:06:17. > :06:20.the Labour Party. My name is Jenny and you are looking
:06:21. > :06:23.at our warehouse and hopefully Jenny has since apologised
:06:24. > :06:27.for giving the goods. When contacted by us today,
:06:28. > :06:31.Karen Constantine declined She reiterated that she fully
:06:32. > :06:36.apologised for not knowing the election funding laws
:06:37. > :06:38.regarding charities and had taken immediate steps to make sure
:06:39. > :06:40.that the money raised had gone Labour meanwhile has
:06:41. > :06:45.repeated its statement that the party has not breached
:06:46. > :06:52.electoral law and there is no allegation the party
:06:53. > :06:54.has broken any rules. Natalie says knowing the money
:06:55. > :06:57.is now with charity is rightful and just but she believes it doesn't
:06:58. > :07:01.make up for it The people of Eastbourne vote not
:07:02. > :07:07.to sell parts of the South Downs - so where will the money
:07:08. > :07:30.come from now? The company behind controversial
:07:31. > :07:31.plans to build a new theme park says companies will have to sell up if I
:07:32. > :07:42.cannot agree. London Resort Company Holdings says
:07:43. > :07:44.it intends to submit a planning application for Paramount Park
:07:45. > :07:46.later this year. The attraction will be built
:07:47. > :07:49.on the Swanscombe Peninsula and it is expected to cost around
:07:50. > :07:51.?3.5 billion to build. It's expected to create around
:07:52. > :07:54.27,000 jobs in the area. Charlie Rose has been talking
:07:55. > :08:02.to the new man in charge Disneyland Paris, a huge
:08:03. > :08:07.entertainment resort the likes of which cannot be found in the UK. But
:08:08. > :08:11.this man wants to build a grade one destination theme park twice the
:08:12. > :08:15.size of the Olympic Park with 5000 hotel rooms and a music venue.
:08:16. > :08:16.Businesses in the area fears it means they will be forced off their
:08:17. > :08:20.land. How much will you offer them to make
:08:21. > :08:25.way for your attraction? We are in talks and we
:08:26. > :08:28.meet regularly, and we will be offering them
:08:29. > :08:31.obviously the market related price It will not be the case they will be
:08:32. > :08:37.forced off their land? In terms of that, there is a process
:08:38. > :08:40.with any planning application where either beforehand,
:08:41. > :08:45.before the application is submitted, people can enter into an agreement
:08:46. > :08:49.and in some cases there will be a time where we will purchase
:08:50. > :08:52.their land after the planning And he says that if an agreement
:08:53. > :08:59.is not reached that could mean land having to be bought via a compulsory
:09:00. > :09:02.purchase order, but in return there will be
:09:03. > :09:06.a world-class resort and jobs. There has been a tremendous positive
:09:07. > :09:10.response locally, for reasons which I think are self-evident.
:09:11. > :09:14.We are going to provide jobs, 27,000 jobs and of course
:09:15. > :09:29.many of those jobs will be local. So we think we will be bringing
:09:30. > :09:34.income and also employment into the area. It will bring a lot of jobs to
:09:35. > :09:41.the area. How traffic on the roads will cope is another thing. I'm
:09:42. > :09:45.quite excited about it to be honest. I am a bit worried about the
:09:46. > :09:48.build-up but I understand it is in about four or five years so
:09:49. > :09:55.hopefully with the roads and railways, it should be all right by
:09:56. > :10:00.then. The planning application will be submitted by the end of the year
:10:01. > :10:03.under the outcome of that goes the developers' way, Paramount Park
:10:04. > :10:10.could be opening its doors five years from now.
:10:11. > :10:12.A former British Army officer from Sussex has
:10:13. > :10:15.been shot dead in Kenya. Tristan Voorspuy was killed
:10:16. > :10:17.on Sunday while inspecting a lodge on the ranch he owned.
:10:18. > :10:20.Kenya recently declared a state of national disaster in the area
:10:21. > :10:25.The Foreign Office is warning there has been an increase in armed
:10:26. > :10:27.raids by cattle herders in recent months.
:10:28. > :10:30.Mr Voorspuy grew up in East Sussex and was a pupil
:10:31. > :10:34.at Eastbourne College. He moved to the area of Laikipia
:10:35. > :10:37.in Kenya in the 1980s to set up a luxury safari business.
:10:38. > :10:47.Friends have described him as a true officer and a gentleman. Tristan
:10:48. > :10:52.Voorspuy was shot dead yesterday as he went to check a burned-out lodge.
:10:53. > :10:56.He and his wife years had run a luxury safari company in the
:10:57. > :10:59.northern region of Laikipia, one of the most important conservation
:11:00. > :11:04.areas in Kenya. He was very interested in the affairs of the
:11:05. > :11:08.conservation and how they can connect with the local communities
:11:09. > :11:11.and at times like this when they were in drought, especially, how
:11:12. > :11:15.they could connect to the communities that would need grazing
:11:16. > :11:21.land. It came as a shock that he was killed. He was a former pupil at
:11:22. > :11:25.Eastbourne college, from 1968 to 73. The college told us their thoughts
:11:26. > :11:29.are with his family at this sad time. Tributes have been paid to him
:11:30. > :11:42.across social media. It's thought at least a dozen people
:11:43. > :11:46.have been killed in clashes in Kenya and some officials blamed the land
:11:47. > :11:50.invasions of a severe drought that has made heard is desperate. But it
:11:51. > :11:53.is also alleged this movement of cattle is being encouraged by some
:11:54. > :11:58.politicians to secure votes in the run-up to the election in August.
:11:59. > :12:04.Today, the government said it is doing all it can to protect
:12:05. > :12:13.landowners. Laikipia, I say to you, the police have already arrested...
:12:14. > :12:18.The Foreign Office is offering support to the family of a British
:12:19. > :12:28.national killed in Kenya. One it seems he will be sorely missed.
:12:29. > :12:31.Police are still trying to find the mother of a new-born baby girl
:12:32. > :12:34.who was found dead in Sheerness on the Isle of Sheppey
:12:35. > :12:37.at the weekend. The identity of the child isn't
:12:38. > :12:39.yet known, and neither is the cause of her death.
:12:40. > :12:41.Remnants of a small fire were found at the scene.
:12:42. > :12:43.Officers say they're concerned about the well-being
:12:44. > :12:45.of the child's mother, and are appealing for
:12:46. > :12:50.It's been announced that a controversial scheme to sell off
:12:51. > :12:53.part of the South Downs will not go ahead after residents
:12:54. > :13:01.overwhelmingly voted against it. Eastbourne Borough Council wanted
:13:02. > :13:04.to put 3,000 acres up for sale to cope with budget cuts.
:13:05. > :13:06.75% of those polled said they would rather see cuts
:13:07. > :13:09.Our reporter Leanne Rinne has been following the story
:13:10. > :13:12.and joins us now - Leanne, campaigners are delighted
:13:13. > :13:16.but the council says it has to go back to the drawing board.
:13:17. > :13:20.The Council always made it clear that if they couldn't make the funds
:13:21. > :13:26.from sales of this land, cuts could follow because of a significant
:13:27. > :13:30.reduction from central government which the Council says is crippling
:13:31. > :13:35.them and many local authorities across the south east. They say they
:13:36. > :13:40.need to cut around ?1 million worth, of savings, some of the suggestions
:13:41. > :13:45.put forward is halving the community Grants programme for example or
:13:46. > :13:50.reducing street cleaning services. The Council say they are open to
:13:51. > :13:53.suggestions of different options but say ultimately, the time the budget
:13:54. > :13:58.is made next year, some tough decisions will have been made.
:13:59. > :14:05.The piece of the Ashdown Forest, the home of the much loved Winnie the
:14:06. > :14:10.Pooh, may be at threat from building of thousands of new homes. The
:14:11. > :14:15.Council was told it must build at least 3000 new homes in the next 15
:14:16. > :14:19.years. The planning expect it says the local population is growing and
:14:20. > :14:22.need somewhere to live so the Council must increase its building
:14:23. > :14:28.plans from 800 new homes a year, to more than a thousand.
:14:29. > :14:34.What are you looking for? I'm wondering if you had such a thing as
:14:35. > :14:39.a balloon about you? It's known the world over as the home of literary
:14:40. > :14:43.character Winnie the Pooh. But now, campaigners fear Ashdown Forest
:14:44. > :14:48.could be threatened by a need for more homes for other Sussex
:14:49. > :14:52.residents. It is very important to people and it will affect the way
:14:53. > :14:56.the future of Mid Sussex and all of us who live here for generations to
:14:57. > :15:02.come. It's a battle that has to be fought and has to be won. We have to
:15:03. > :15:06.protect the integrity of Mid Sussex. The District Council has been told
:15:07. > :15:10.by government appointed inspectors that it needs to build 3000 more
:15:11. > :15:16.homes in the next 15 years, than its current target. I think the planning
:15:17. > :15:21.inspector will have to review this number. It is far too high.
:15:22. > :15:25.Everybody accepts the need for more housing but we don't have the
:15:26. > :15:30.infrastructure or the countryside to sustain the level of housing which
:15:31. > :15:33.he is now demanding, it is simply not deliverable. With a growing
:15:34. > :15:37.population and are unmet housing needs sighted in places such as
:15:38. > :15:41.Brighton and Crawley, there are worries not even protected areas
:15:42. > :15:45.will be left untouched. We definitely need more housing. I live
:15:46. > :15:49.not far from here and I can see there are spaces where you could
:15:50. > :15:53.well put extra houses. But to be building it in an area of
:15:54. > :15:56.outstanding natural beauty like this, I think it's absolutely
:15:57. > :16:01.criminal. The housing requirement has not yet been finalised and
:16:02. > :16:04.campaigners will be hoping the decision will be reconsidered,
:16:05. > :16:11.leaving the area a source of inspiration for many years to come.
:16:12. > :16:16.We have a growing population in this area and the planning Inspectorate
:16:17. > :16:24.is recognising that somehow, more housing must be provided? Yes, the
:16:25. > :16:28.housing charity Shelter says England is suffering from huge housing
:16:29. > :16:33.shortage and it desperately needs both national and local governments
:16:34. > :16:37.to prioritise building new homes. It also says that low rates of
:16:38. > :16:41.house-building over several decades have not kept up with increasing
:16:42. > :16:45.demands. Today, the District Council told us the level of new housing
:16:46. > :16:49.that has been suggested by inspectors for this area, has never
:16:50. > :16:54.been delivered by developers in the entire history of Mid Sussex.
:16:55. > :16:57.It's 14 minutes to seven, this is our top story tonight -
:16:58. > :17:00.BBC South East has learned that the Dartford Crossing has been
:17:01. > :17:02.mistakenly classified as a rural road by the Government.
:17:03. > :17:05.It means pollution levels there have been ignored and not passed
:17:06. > :17:07.onto the European Union, which monitors air quality.
:17:08. > :17:09.Dartford Borough Council has described the
:17:10. > :17:22.How a hundred strangers turned out for the funeral of a Sussex war
:17:23. > :17:27.veteran who died alone. And after some decent spousal sunshine today,
:17:28. > :17:30.another fine and dry and mild day tomorrow. The details in the
:17:31. > :17:32.forecast a little later in the programme.
:17:33. > :17:35.If you have a story you think we should be covering
:17:36. > :17:37.on South East Today, we'd like to hear from you.

:17:52. > :17:55.30 years ago today saw the worst maritime disaster in British waters
:17:56. > :17:58.since the Second World War - the capsize and sinking
:17:59. > :18:01.of the Herald of Free Enterprise - a passenger ferry that had just left
:18:02. > :18:04.the port of Zeebrugge in Belgium, bound for Dover.
:18:05. > :18:11.The vessel was about 40% full, and most of its passengers
:18:12. > :18:19.But in an act of what the official inquiry described as
:18:20. > :18:22.staggering complacency - the bow doors hadn't been shut -
:18:23. > :18:26.water rushed in - and it took just 90 seconds for the ship to capsize.
:18:27. > :18:28.For tonight's special report, we've spoken to three people
:18:29. > :18:45.The British ferry disaster off Belgium and hope is fading. I
:18:46. > :18:49.remember seeing newsflash sitting in my front room, hearing something had
:18:50. > :18:53.happened in Belgium and my mum coming into the room and turning up
:18:54. > :18:58.the volume and the blood draining from her face, saying, I think Billy
:18:59. > :19:01.and Mary were on that ship. There were a lot of images from the
:19:02. > :19:05.helicopter of people being winched out and people shivering in
:19:06. > :19:10.blankets. People arriving at the hospitals and we were scouring the
:19:11. > :19:14.images, desperate to see them in the background or on the TV and that was
:19:15. > :19:18.our only information we were getting at that point. They were one of the
:19:19. > :19:24.last couple of people to be recovered from the ship. Below,
:19:25. > :19:33.there was chaos, people clawing and fighting their way out. It was toxic
:19:34. > :19:37.in the cabin. I found a door and it was agreed between the three of us
:19:38. > :19:41.that we opened the door, because we didn't know whether there was water
:19:42. > :19:51.the other side all hopefully fresh air. Luckily it was fresh air and
:19:52. > :19:56.after about seven hours, we could hear somebody getting close to us
:19:57. > :20:03.and we started shouting. Belgian divers came to us and rescued us.
:20:04. > :20:16.They hacked and smashed the strong glass. A priest I know married a
:20:17. > :20:24.couple and the man worked on The Herald of Free Enterprise. His wife
:20:25. > :20:30.was pregnant. He died and the body was brought back to the hospital at
:20:31. > :20:40.Dover where it was put in a temporary morgue and upstairs, the
:20:41. > :20:48.wife was having her baby. The priest at first, didn't like to tell the

:21:31. > :21:34.church, carried in by Brian gibbons, the last man to be airlifted off,
:21:35. > :21:39.and that became a focus for the families who had lost loved ones
:21:40. > :21:44.that night. The most poignant moment in the act of remembrance is when
:21:45. > :21:49.the 193 names of those who lost their lives are read out one by one.
:21:50. > :21:50.And you realise that four and five members of the same family perished
:21:51. > :21:54.that night. James Knowles was a war veteran
:21:55. > :21:57.who lived to the age of 91, but when he died in Eastbourne last
:21:58. > :22:00.year he had no immediate family A hospital chaplain was so upset,
:22:01. > :22:06.he put out an appeal on social media and as a result,
:22:07. > :22:08.100 mourners turned up But it turned out he'd left behind
:22:09. > :22:14.a considerable estate and with no obvious benefactors a team
:22:15. > :22:17.of inheritance hunters set to work Now 50 people are receiving a sum
:22:18. > :22:24.of money they didn't realise they were entitled to.
:22:25. > :22:28.John Young takes up the story. James Knowles never married
:22:29. > :22:31.and had no children, so when he passed away aged 91
:22:32. > :22:35.at the Eastbourne District General Hospital,
:22:36. > :22:38.the chaplain faced a problem. Who would come to the funeral
:22:39. > :22:41.it was his duty to arrange? So he shared his problem on Facebook
:22:42. > :22:44.and eight weeks later it was standing room only
:22:45. > :22:46.at the family chapel I was really surprised the way
:22:47. > :22:52.the whole thing mushroomed. Over 2,000 people shared it
:22:53. > :22:55.on their Facebook sites. And we started getting calls
:22:56. > :22:59.from here, there and everywhere and people from different military
:23:00. > :23:02.units offering to come and put in a guard of honour,
:23:03. > :23:06.that sort of thing. People to bring flags,
:23:07. > :23:09.somebody to play the Last Post. But the funeral is
:23:10. > :23:15.only half the story. Those guests were
:23:16. > :23:18.well-wishers, not relatives. The next challenge was to find
:23:19. > :23:21.whether the older child in this photo was Mr Knowles' elder brother
:23:22. > :23:24.and if so, he would be entitled to an inheritance of over three
:23:25. > :23:27.quarters of a million pounds. A company that investigates
:23:28. > :23:32.inheritances in return for a portion of the money got involved.
:23:33. > :23:35.It was all televised. They established that there had been
:23:36. > :23:38.an elder brother but he had Other relatives were tracked down,
:23:39. > :23:43.including a woman from Herne Bay who's father was a cousin,
:23:44. > :23:47.who had family photos of her own. I discovered I was an heir
:23:48. > :23:51.by finding out from my sister. She telephoned me and said,
:23:52. > :23:55.I've heard from a firm of heir hunters and I was quite shocked
:23:56. > :23:58.because I didn't realise there was anybody in the family
:23:59. > :24:03.that we could inherit from any more. It's not necessarily their fault
:24:04. > :24:07.that they didn't know the deceased or never knew the deceased.
:24:08. > :24:10.Families fall out, they drift apart. But it is nice to be part
:24:11. > :24:13.of the reunification process not just with the money but often
:24:14. > :24:16.we find that people are then getting in touch with each other,
:24:17. > :24:18.going to visit each other and getting to know each
:24:19. > :24:26.other and reconnecting. Re-connections and new discoveries,
:24:27. > :24:30.thanks to the power of internet research and the determination
:24:31. > :24:49.of an Eastbourne vicar not to let Now, shall we take a look at the
:24:50. > :24:55.weather? It's been quite nice today, it's been springlike day we say?
:24:56. > :25:00.There will be some rain around by Wednesday but today has been pretty
:25:01. > :25:05.decent and we initially expected some rain but it stayed to the
:25:06. > :25:08.south. There were a couple of scattered showers and some decent
:25:09. > :25:18.spousal sunshine. It felt quite nice. Top temperatures, eight or 9
:25:19. > :25:23.degrees. We lose the sunshine on... Generally, the trend this week will
:25:24. > :25:27.be increasingly mild. Rain at times particularly on Wednesday but not
:25:28. > :25:33.very heavy. Tomorrow is looking lovely. As we go through tonight, we
:25:34. > :25:37.still have some clearer skies said temperatures fall away and overnight
:25:38. > :25:42.low temperatures two or three degrees in towns and cities. A
:25:43. > :25:46.couple of scattered showers throughout the night but for many of
:25:47. > :25:50.us, a dry night as we start the day tomorrow. We see those scattered
:25:51. > :25:54.showers, easing their weight eastwards. We have a ridge of high
:25:55. > :25:58.pressure so it is a lovely feeling day tomorrow. A bit more sunshine
:25:59. > :26:03.probably in the morning and to the west, eventually, we see some rain
:26:04. > :26:08.tomorrow. It stays dry during the day. Lots of sunshine in the morning
:26:09. > :26:11.and in the afternoon, pretty hazy and temperatures creeping up to
:26:12. > :26:18.eight or nine. Some places will see ten or 11 that see the best of the
:26:19. > :26:21.brightness. From Tuesday, into Wednesday, that cloud cover
:26:22. > :26:24.continues to thicken and will eventually we will see some
:26:25. > :26:30.outbreaks of rain. The wind is picking up and a mild night as a
:26:31. > :26:33.result. Five or 6 degrees overnight. It stays settled as we had through
:26:34. > :26:40.Wednesday and very mild by Wednesday. Temperatures reaching 12
:26:41. > :26:44.or even 14 degrees. There will be some wind and rain, not feeling very
:26:45. > :26:48.pleasant but it stays mild as we go through the day for Thursday and
:26:49. > :26:55.Friday. Quite a lot of cloud around and some rain at times. Friday will
:26:56. > :26:58.be the brighter of the two. The weekend, further outbreaks of
:26:59. > :27:03.rainfall Saturday, increasingly breezy with the more brightness
:27:04. > :27:07.around for Sunday. For tomorrow, it is lovely, finally feeling like
:27:08. > :27:09.spring, it will be wet at times, especially on and Thursday and
