:00:21. > :00:31.And it was the warmest days of winter so far, with highs of 18. The
:00:32. > :00:40.risk of wintry showers by Friday. Golf's most prestigious tournament -
:00:41. > :00:43.the Open Championship - will be returning to Kent in 2020,
:00:44. > :00:47.and businesses leaders predict it will have a huge impact
:00:48. > :00:50.on the local economy. One of the world's biggest
:00:51. > :00:52.sporting events, when it last came to Sandwich it
:00:53. > :00:56.drew crowds of 180,000. It's projected that the 2020
:00:57. > :00:59.tournament will generate ?100 million, and with a potential
:01:00. > :01:02.global audience of more than 500 million households,
:01:03. > :01:22.it's a huge showcase for Kent. This is what it is all about.
:01:23. > :01:27.Crowds, the cameras and the greatest names in the game of golf. Royal St
:01:28. > :01:33.George 's regarded among the very best courses in the land has once
:01:34. > :01:37.again attracted golf 's oldest championship to the Kent coast. This
:01:38. > :01:40.fan or a tourist provider in San at fan or a tourist provider in San at
:01:41. > :01:46.or around the county, because this is an opportunity for people to use
:01:47. > :01:51.a sport as a means of bringing more money into the economy. The Open has
:01:52. > :01:55.history here. It has been 14 times already. First in 1894 and most
:01:56. > :02:01.recently in 2011. But it is an honour not taken lightly. It will be
:02:02. > :02:06.a great challenge. It is a big project over the next one half
:02:07. > :02:10.years, July 20 20. This place, the course will be ready. We have got a
:02:11. > :02:15.fantastic natural resources Brilliant course but it will need
:02:16. > :02:18.work and then we can host they are near and the infrastructure gets
:02:19. > :02:22.bigger every year. Crowds get bigger every year and we hope will continue
:02:23. > :02:26.to do so. But any town of summit itself, there are memories they
:02:27. > :02:30.experienced the cars and crowds but not the money. I think a lot of the
:02:31. > :02:35.shops actually did not benefit from the golf because people had to sort
:02:36. > :02:40.of walk into sandwich, which is quite a long way from Saint Georges.
:02:41. > :02:46.six, seven hours a day travelling to six, seven hours a day travelling to
:02:47. > :02:51.get to watch a few words of golf, so there was conjecture about that. But
:02:52. > :02:54.as a golfer, it is great! That is why behind the scenes I have been
:02:55. > :02:56.intense negotiations over travel arrangements and local
:02:57. > :02:57.infrastructure before the go-ahead was given.
:02:58. > :03:05.because this really will be a global event, won't it?
:03:06. > :03:10.It certainly is. Think Wimbledon, the World Cup, Formula one, you are
:03:11. > :03:15.talking a global television audience of potentially hundreds of millions
:03:16. > :03:21.of people. All eyes focused on those 650 acres of hallowed links turf at
:03:22. > :03:23.Saint Georges. It is a lot of pressure on organisers to get
:03:24. > :03:27.everything just right for players and visitors but pressure to make
:03:28. > :03:32.sure that Thanet and Kent benefit as well. Last time, tourism so to 3%,
:03:33. > :03:34.an extra ?77 million for the local economy. This time they are aiming
:03:35. > :03:36.to break 100 million. ?4 in every ?10 spent
:03:37. > :03:39.by the NHS in Sussex hiring mental health nurses
:03:40. > :03:40.from agencies goes directly
:03:41. > :03:41.to recruitment companies, The Sussex Partnership NHS Trust
:03:42. > :03:45.will spend more than ?6 million Almost 2.5 million
:03:46. > :03:52.of that is spent in agency fees. It's admitted it has an urgent need
:03:53. > :03:56.to recruit and train more staff. Our Health Correspondent
:03:57. > :03:59.Mark Norman reports. This trust has spent ?6 million this
:04:00. > :04:02.financial year on agency nurses, and a huge proportion of that money
:04:03. > :04:08.went straight to the agency. ?6 million, it is
:04:09. > :04:10.a big sum, isn't it? And you worked out how much
:04:11. > :04:14.of that is for agency fees? What could you be
:04:15. > :04:24.doing with that money? Recruit more nurses,
:04:25. > :04:27.improve patient care. Is it frustrating to know that much
:04:28. > :04:31.money is just going on fees? I believe that money would be better
:04:32. > :04:35.spent on patient care, It is a relationship many think
:04:36. > :04:41.is critical to making people well again
:04:42. > :04:44.as quickly as possible. we cannot do the therapeutic things
:04:45. > :04:49.that we want to do with patients. Get them out, get them
:04:50. > :04:52.back into the community. It also leaves the patients
:04:53. > :04:56.feeling unsafe. You know, they think,
:04:57. > :04:58."Oh, what can I do today They are flexible, can cover
:04:59. > :05:06.vacancies and sickness at short The answer to the problem -
:05:07. > :05:11.to recruit more staff. And once you have got them,
:05:12. > :05:14.make sure you keep them. The pictures are for the trust's
:05:15. > :05:16.national recruitment campaign But with London so close,
:05:17. > :05:19.with its higher wages, So, there will be
:05:20. > :05:24.fast-track promotion But this is a much more structured,
:05:25. > :05:28.co-ordinated approach And unfortunately, with every
:05:29. > :05:34.hospital and mental health trust it is a problem that
:05:35. > :05:46.will not be solved quickly. The train drivers' union Aslef
:05:47. > :05:48.is set to hold fresh talks with Southern Rail tomorrow,
:05:49. > :05:51.in an attempt to resolve the ongoing It follows last week's ballot
:05:52. > :05:55.of drivers, which turned down a deal struck between union
:05:56. > :05:58.bosses and Southern. Well, our reporter Chrissie Reidy
:05:59. > :06:03.is at Three Bridges station now. Chrissie, the two parties have
:06:04. > :06:21.already spent a long time talking - Well, last time of the 11 days of
:06:22. > :06:25.talks very much involved the TUC, whereas this time there are just two
:06:26. > :06:28.parties involved, Adelaide and Southern. They will meet at a secret
:06:29. > :06:31.location tomorrow to see whether between the two of them they can
:06:32. > :06:32.make some sort of progress. And Chrissie, there's been anger
:06:33. > :06:34.from the RMT over a letter
:06:35. > :06:49.sent to its members? There has. The letter that was sent
:06:50. > :06:52.from Sovereign to RMT members has angered the RMT because it talks
:06:53. > :06:58.about should members decide they choose to go on strike again, they
:06:59. > :07:01.could be a breach of contract, that additional sanctions could apply and
:07:02. > :07:05.that staff should think very carefully before going on strike.
:07:06. > :07:08.That relates to planned strikes on Wednesday set to start at midnight.
:07:09. > :07:10.And you can keep up to date with the latest travel

:07:16. > :07:18.at the conditions unaccompanied children are living in

:07:24. > :07:25.Charities say hundreds of young people have returned

:07:45. > :07:47.Some young people who had been moved to centres across France
:07:48. > :07:50.when The Jungle was shut have now returned after they
:07:51. > :07:55.say their requests to be transferred to the UK were turned down.
:07:56. > :07:57.This camp in Dunkirk is home to around
:07:58. > :08:04.Officially, there should be no unaccompanied children here,
:08:05. > :08:07.but the charities say since the start of the year
:08:08. > :08:08.they have alerted the authorities
:08:09. > :08:11.to 97 who are calling this home.
:08:12. > :08:16.How can you have small kids living in conditions like this?
:08:17. > :08:20.You know, you see that little girl up here
:08:21. > :08:23.and you think these kids are at such risk.
:08:24. > :08:26.Since The Jungle was closed, going up in flames,
:08:27. > :08:29.750 children have been brought to the UK.
:08:30. > :08:32.Next month, the government is ending the so-called Dubs scheme
:08:33. > :08:35.which allowed some of the most vulnerable children with no family
:08:36. > :08:39.It says it was encouraging them to make
:08:40. > :08:42.perilous journeys, leaving them vulnerable to traffickers.
:08:43. > :08:45.Instead, it will resettle 20,000 refugees,

:09:26. > :09:28.Now let's take a look at the weather in the South East
:09:29. > :09:30.for the next few days with Rachel Mackley.
:09:31. > :09:42.Positively springlike! We saw temperatures comfortably around 17
:09:43. > :09:47.or 18 degrees. Very mild, warmest day so far this winter. We stay mild
:09:48. > :09:50.for the next couple of days. Rain at times and it is turning really
:09:51. > :09:55.chilly Thursday and into Friday, with the risk of one or two wintry
:09:56. > :09:59.showers by Friday. Overnight tonight, we stay very mild.
:10:00. > :10:03.Overnight temperatures of around ten or 11 degrees, higher than the
:10:04. > :10:07.values we would normally expect during the afternoon at this time of
:10:08. > :10:11.year. Mild and initially wet. We have got this becoming weather
:10:12. > :10:14.front. Try by the afternoon, is not much brighter. Temperatures
:10:15. > :10:18.tomorrow, still miles for a time of year but of course down on the
:10:19. > :10:23.values we have had today. 12 or 13 degrees are high for tomorrow.
:10:24. > :10:27.Westerly wind staying with us and from Tuesday into Wednesday it is a
:10:28. > :10:32.amalgamate. Some drizzle at times a day good deal of cloud. Overnight
:10:33. > :10:35.lows of around nine or 10 degrees. Initially dry for Wednesday but
:10:36. > :10:37.there will be outbreaks offering. Once again by the afternoon
:10:38. > :10:43.temperatures should comfortably be at around ten or 11 degrees. The
:10:44. > :10:47.shift that we are expecting to see is really as we go from Wednesday
:10:48. > :10:52.over into Thursday. There is a steep area of low pressure, it is bringing
:10:53. > :10:55.heavy rain and the winds will be back to a north-westerly direction.
:10:56. > :10:59.We started to feel cold as we head to the deeper Thursday and over into
:11:00. > :11:00.Friday there is the risk of one or two wintry showers. Here is the
:11:01. > :11:02.outlook for us in the south east. little milder, but it will be a wet
:11:03. > :11:12.start and it will brighten up later. As you have just seen, after a day
:11:13. > :11:15.in which some of you have been shedding the layers, you will be
:11:16. > :11:18.putting them back on for the rest of this week. Big changes ahead, all
:11:19. > :11:24.down to where the air has been coming from. Today, it originated in
:11:25. > :11:27.the Caribbean, hence the name tropical maritime air. Temperatures
:11:28. > :11:30.peaked at 18 degrees. But later this week, the winds go to the
