There are calls today for more help for homeless people | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
here in the South East, after a rough sleeper | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
was found dead in a high street shop doorway in Chatham. | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
The man, who was in his 40s, was discovered on Christmas Eve. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
But as the local council is asked to do more, | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
it says it doesn't have the funds to give any extra help. | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
Chatham High Street was much busier when his body was found | :00:33. | :00:41. | |
Now there are calls for the council to improve the way | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
it looks a homeless people in the very cold weather. | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
Medway Council currently has severe weather protocol which effectively | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
kicks in after three days of forecast of sub zero situations. | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
We have seen this year when it was sub-zero, | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
sub-zero and one Celsius, and the protocol didn't kick in, | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
According to the Kent homeless charity Porchlight, | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
the number of people sleeping rough in the county | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
has almost doubled in the past year, with the number | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
of under 25-year-olds who are homeless tripling. | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
It is thought to be similar picture in Sussex, | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
with 144 rough sleepers in Brighton alone. | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Medway Council says it is constrained | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
The national protocol is three days of cold weather. | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
If we actually dealt with it, we could intervene, | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
for example, after one day, but what it would mean | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
is we would have to pay the entire cost of those interventions | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
and that is quite expensive, and we just do not have | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
the resources at a time when our money is being so much | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
As for the man who died on Christmas Eve, | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
the cause of his death is not yet known. | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
A family is having to find another home after | :02:00. | :02:01. | |

The fire at the back of the building in Highfield Road | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
but are now having to find alternative accommodation. | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
The fire is believed to have been accidental. | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
A man has appeared in court accused of deliberately | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
26-year-old Daryll Rowe was arrested in Brighton earlier this year. | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
He failed to answer bail but after being arrested again, | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
he appeared at Newcastle Crown Court where he was charged | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
with seven counts of causing grievous bodily harm | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
and one count of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm. | :02:41. | :02:49. | |
Three shotguns and luxury watches were among items stolen from | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
a home near Maidstone on Christmas Eve. | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
They were taken from a property in Nightingale Road in Allington | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
Police are appealing for information. | :02:57. | :03:11. | |
Football now, and Brighton and Hove Albion have | :03:12. | :03:13. | |

Goals came from Sam Baldock, Glenn Murray | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
The victory lifts the Albion two points clear of rivals | :03:23. | :03:25. | |

In a moment we'll have the national weather forecast, but first let's | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
It is turning chilly out there already. The problem is going to be | :04:05. | :04:17. | |
fog, by dawn, quite widespread and thick. The Met Office have issued a | :04:18. | :04:21. | |

tomorrow morning. It Torphichen up. Temperatures will not feel as low as | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
last night but still, a frosty start, hovering round about | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
freezing. A cold, grey and murky start tomorrow, and much of that | :04:37. | :04:44. | |
mist and fog just lifting into low cloud, giving a very grey day with | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
any brightness limited and top temperatures of six Celsius. When we | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
