the minimum wage, pension obligations and pressure | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
from the regulator mean homes cannot afford to run on the fees | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
that local authorities are prepared to pay. | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
The government need to put more money into social care, | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
I think there will be more and more providers who will be looking | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
at the bottom line and thinking, "This is just not sustainable." | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
Challenged about social care funding today, the Prime Minister said | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
she recognised there are pressures and said more money is being | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
This is an issue that has been ducked by governments for too long. | :01:59. | :02:03. | |

A man has died after being hit by a car in Swanley. | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
The 29-year-old was walking on Maidstone Road near the junction | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
with Hockenden Lane just after 10 o'clock last night. | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
He was struck by a silver Renault Clio. | :02:50. | :02:51. | |

Police and the coastguard were called to the M2 | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
A helicopter and divers were involved in the search | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
and the footpath between Junctions 2 and 3 was closed for several hours. | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
It is expected to resume in the morning. | :03:13. | :03:16. | |

Southern Rail insists 705 of its trains will run and a full | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
service will resume on Tuesday. The union says Southern needs | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
to "engage" with them, to deal with safety issues. | :03:29. | :03:37. | |
The RSPCA say a dog is "lucky to be alive" after she was abandoned | :03:38. | :03:45. | |
in sub-zero temperatures in Kent. The spaniel, thought | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
to be about a year old, was discovered on Wednesday, | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
surrounded by frozen faeces in a field on Snodland Road | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
in Birling, having been thrown over a six-foot fence. | :03:53. | :03:54. | |

are trying to find those responsible, | :03:58. | :03:58. | |
Now, we can catch up on the weather, with Elizabeth Rizzini. | :03:59. | :04:09. | |
It was a very cold start to the day today. | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
Minus 7 Celsius degrees in some of our more rural spots. | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
Most of us were cheered up by blue skies and sunshine. | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
The fog, however, is coming back overnight. | :04:23. | :04:23. | |
In rural areas, we are talking about minus 5-6 Celsius. | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
This time, though, there is a Met Office yellow warning | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
It could possibly cause some travel problems tomorrow. | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
Poor visibility on many of the roads and it will be very dense in places. | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
Quite slow to lift and clear in many places. | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
Possibly just brightening up as we head into the afternoon. | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
It will be dry, but feeling cold, too. | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
Top temperatures of just 3-4 Celsius, for the most part. | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
The fog could return on Tuesday morning. | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
It will stay dry, but rather chilly, for the rest of the week. | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
We are back with updates during Breakfast tomorrow morning | :04:58. | :05:00. | |

Good evening. If you are dreading the trudge back to work in the | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
morning I'm not going to help matters. There is the prospect of | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
nasty, freezing fog over the next couple of days. Quite localised but | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
tricky out there on the roads. Disruption possible. Check out your | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
