:01:20. > :01:22.for very serious injuries after being mauled and bitten
:01:23. > :01:24.by a pit bull-type dog. The girl, who's is being named
:01:25. > :01:26.locally as Victoria, is believed to be about 18 months
:01:27. > :01:29.old and was attacked in Chatham Victoria was flown to a London
:01:30. > :01:33.hospital after reports that she was pulled away
:01:34. > :01:35.from the dog by up to six people before armed police
:01:36. > :01:37.shot the animal dead. Tonight, a neighbour
:01:38. > :01:39.told our reporter Jon Hunt that the same dog had "pinned down"
:01:40. > :01:53.her toddler son just 24 hours before According to witnesses, the dog was
:01:54. > :01:58.on a lead with a young teenage girl in this children's play park when it
:01:59. > :02:04.set up on the toddler. I can't get her face out of my head, that little
:02:05. > :02:10.girl. She was all blue and she wasn't even breathing properly. Then
:02:11. > :02:17.I kind of Sather up a bit she made this tiny little... It wasn't even a
:02:18. > :02:24.cry, just a little sound. They were saying, come on, but she weren't...
:02:25. > :02:33.She was shaking and her lips were blue. The dog repeatedly picked her
:02:34. > :02:38.up by her head. I just saw the child running and the dog, with the
:02:39. > :02:44.child's head in its mouth. I ran down to see what I could do. Very
:02:45. > :02:50.little. People already took her around to the side and she was
:02:51. > :02:55.bleeding and I saw a puncture wound. The dog was shot twice and killed by
:02:56. > :03:02.armed police. They say it was to ensure public safety. It scratched
:03:03. > :03:09.me. It pushed him to the floor -- floor. Three Roger Ali was jumped on
:03:10. > :03:14.by the dog on Friday. He was screaming. He was literally on top
:03:15. > :03:18.of him but I think the screaming was annoying the dog. When the owner got
:03:19. > :03:26.him off him I picked him up and the dog jumped up at me. It wasn't
:03:27. > :03:32.interested in me but him. On Sunday in an unconnected case police shot
:03:33. > :03:37.dead two pit bull type dogs that attacked a man in Bolton. The
:03:38. > :03:40.39-year-old man was arrested for allowing the dogs to be dangerously
:03:41. > :03:45.out of control. Laws have been strengthened in an attempt to
:03:46. > :03:50.encourage responsible dog ownership. It means there's more is
:03:51. > :03:56.prosecutions or punishments for offenders. It has not led to in any
:03:57. > :04:02.discernible increase or decrease in incidence. In Chatham earlier police
:04:03. > :04:05.searched the flat as part of their investigations into yesterday's
:04:06. > :04:11.incident and left with bags of evidence. The step -- toddler is
:04:12. > :04:12.still being treated for very serious injuries but her condition is no
:04:13. > :04:14.longer life-threatening. It is thought the attack was carried
:04:15. > :04:17.out by a pit bull crossed with a Staffordshire bull terrier
:04:18. > :04:19.which is not specifically banned. The official Dangerous Dogs Act

:05:00. > :05:03.at ten past five yesterday, 16 minutes before the young girl was
:05:04. > :05:07.attacked, they received a call from a member of public from the flats
:05:08. > :05:12.here warning them that a dog was pulling its handler around in the
:05:13. > :05:16.park. Officers say they were in the process of arranging for a patrol
:05:17. > :05:19.when they received a subsequent call that the young girl had been badly
:05:20. > :05:25.injured. They said the earlier call hadn't said that dog behaved
:05:26. > :05:32.dangerously and wasn't a dangerous breed and was in fact on N-Gage. A
:05:33. > :05:33.teenager and man arrested yesterday, was still in custody along with the

:06:37. > :06:44.of three further fly-tip suspects. The covert footage was recorded over

:06:48. > :06:56.a local council tip. Well, pretty sick really
:06:57. > :07:00.but not much we can do. It's at the entrance
:07:01. > :07:10.road to a derelict pub near Herne that has become
:07:11. > :07:14.a notorious fly-tip hotspot. 74 tonnes of general

:08:07. > :08:09.those who dump waste, who the council says they'll pursue,

:24:32. > :24:39.trying to fix my guitar and stuff. Isaac would tell stories and that's
:24:40. > :24:44.now become part of our set. If you're not already eight Slave 's
:24:45. > :24:49.fan that's the point of the festival. We have artists from all
:24:50. > :24:55.genres from all across the globe. You can find things you've never a
:24:56. > :25:02.heard of before. It all gets underway on May the 18th.
:25:03. > :25:07.Over the weekend, 450 artists will converge on the city to perform at
:25:08. > :25:11.one of 35 different venues which will be taking part.
:25:12. > :25:18.Thanks very much indeed. Apologies for the sound problems
:25:19. > :25:19.there. It was a beautiful evening in
:25:20. > :25:32.Brighton but will it last? Yes. By the weekend, temperatures
:25:33. > :25:44.could be reaching 22 or 23 degrees. Earlier there was a good deal of
:25:45. > :25:48.sunshine. Much of that... Much of us have clear blue skies. Feeling
:25:49. > :25:53.lovely and the high pressure is to thank for that will stop its days
:25:54. > :25:59.with us for the next couple of days. Staying largely dry with decent
:26:00. > :26:05.styles of sunshine. It will get warmer as the winds return to a more
:26:06. > :26:09.southerly direction. Tonight, we will see some fog and mist in
:26:10. > :26:19.places. Overnight temperatures in single figures. A bit chilly as we
:26:20. > :26:25.start the day on Thursday. We still have a northerly airflow so it won't
:26:26. > :26:29.be wall-to-wall sunshine but a bright day and decent spells of
:26:30. > :26:36.sunshine throughout the day. In the afternoon, top temperatures of 13
:26:37. > :26:44.degrees. Light wind but still a northerly airflow. Into Friday, we
:26:45. > :26:53.expect to see some fog and mist practice. Similar temperatures to
:26:54. > :26:57.tonight. High pressure will be around on Friday with decent styles
:26:58. > :27:04.of sunshine and temperatures will creep up. The reason is the area of
:27:05. > :27:10.high pressure which picks up a southerly airflow. Temperatures
:27:11. > :27:16.today were around 12 or 13 degrees. Towards the weekend we could see
:27:17. > :27:19.highs of 22 or 23 degrees for Saturday and Sunday. It will be
:27:20. > :27:25.lovely as we look towards the weekend. Variable amounts of cloud
:27:26. > :27:30.cover over the next couple of days but lots of dry weather.
:27:31. > :27:39.A wonderful taste of spring! That's it from me and our team tonight.
:27:40. > :27:42.I will be back later at eight o'clock and 10:25pm so I hope you
:27:43. > :27:55.can join me then. I buy. CHILD: This is
:27:56. > :28:04.a major scientific breakthrough. Hello. It's All Round to
