:05:24. > :05:28.they had been messed up for so long, to me it seems trivial at ldast And
:05:29. > :05:34.it is really good to see thd trains back. It would lead good if they can
:05:35. > :05:39.run it I suppose. There has been so much disruption. Any chance of this
:05:40. > :05:44.being resolved? I hope so, H can't understand what it is all about
:05:45. > :05:48.really. The dispute rumbles on just as we head into winter and hf the

:07:02. > :07:05.under a false identity in the South East for 30 ye`rs,
:07:06. > :07:09.after he had infiltrated thd IRA, and passed on sensitive information

:07:13. > :07:17.at his flat near Broadstairs. Our Special Correspondent Colin
:07:18. > :07:22.Campbell has the story. I knew my life expectancy
:07:23. > :07:29.wasn't very, very long. Living in constant fear
:07:30. > :07:31.of assassination by the IRA, Raymond Gilmour kept his trte
:07:32. > :07:36.identity a closely guarded secret. Paranoia is your best friend,
:07:37. > :07:38.I wouldn't even open In death we can show his face,
:07:39. > :07:48.captured on camera four years ago. I could have been shot by a soldier,
:07:49. > :07:52.I could have been shot by IRA, On Thursday his body was discovered

:08:09. > :08:14.slept with a gun under In case the IRA found
:08:15. > :08:20.out who he was. He infiltrated the IRA at the height
:08:21. > :08:23.of the troubles in Northern Ireland risking his life to feed information
:08:24. > :08:27.to the British security services. He went on to become a supergrass
:08:28. > :08:30.witness which forced him to live the rest of his life under
:08:31. > :08:34.a false identity. Raymond Gilmour lived a secret life
:08:35. > :08:40.here in Kent for more than 30 years. When I interviews him,
:08:41. > :08:43.he told me that he had saved many But he also claimed that his former

:09:05. > :09:09.was he abandoned by the sectrity He was very useful to them,
:09:10. > :09:16.but he was more than a commodity and legitimate questions must now
:09:17. > :09:21.be asked and answered. No response from the Home Office,
:09:22. > :09:24.a hero to some and a traitor to others, it is suspected
:09:25. > :09:27.that he died from natural c`uses, his family are awaiting

:09:40. > :09:42.with Sarah Keith-Lucas - its going to start getting chilly

:10:03. > :10:06.office, dense patches, if you're travelling, do take care. That mist
:10:07. > :10:10.and fog is already with us, it will come more dense through the
:10:11. > :10:13.remainder of the period and it should stay dry, reasonably mild
:10:14. > :10:18.with cloud and fog and tempdratures around about 8 degrees or. Through
