Families have been gathering today to protest at plans

:00:00.:00:15.

for an incinerator to be built in a West Sussex town.

:00:16.:00:18.

Locals in Horsham say the plant would bring traffic congestion

:00:19.:00:21.

and pollution to the area and have a chimney

:00:22.:00:22.

Residents coming together in protest at a plan they believe

:00:23.:00:32.

At an existing waste facility site north of Horsham,

:00:33.:00:41.

Brittania Crest Recycling Limited propose to build a new recycling,

:00:42.:00:45.

recovery and renewable energy plant for commercial and industrial waste.

:00:46.:00:48.

The company said it would create jobs, provide enough electricity

:00:49.:00:53.

to power a small town and reduce both landfill and use

:00:54.:00:56.

It is the visual impact we are concerned about.

:00:57.:01:03.

A massive, ugly incinerator in amongst the countryside,

:01:04.:01:07.

it will be as big as Big Ben, so way above the tree

:01:08.:01:11.

canopy and the noise, because it is day and night

:01:12.:01:15.

operations, and obviously the HGV movement, which again contributes

:01:16.:01:17.

But I think the major concern is it will blight this area

:01:18.:01:21.

A local councillor says he is most concerned about emissions.

:01:22.:01:26.

I think there has not been enough research into the long-term

:01:27.:01:30.

implications of such systems yet to be clear.

:01:31.:01:32.

And Public Health England are producing report,

:01:33.:01:37.

hopefully in the spring, and I am wanting this to be deferred

:01:38.:01:40.

South Today has contacted the company but there

:01:41.:01:43.

People have until January 19th to submit their views

:01:44.:01:47.

An outbreak of bird flu has been confirmed

:01:48.:01:57.

Nine dead swans have tested positive for the H5N8 strain of the disease -

:01:58.:02:03.

a virus that's considered a very low risk to public health.

:02:04.:02:06.

The Swannery has said the welfare of its birds

:02:07.:02:10.

The site is currently closed for the winter and is not due

:02:11.:02:17.

The Government recently extended an avian flu order,

:02:18.:02:25.

requiring domestic birds to be kept indoors and away from wild species,

:02:26.:02:28.

An armed-forces charity in the south says it has a solution

:02:29.:02:35.

to the growing number of military veterans living rough

:02:36.:02:38.

Help 4 Homeless Veterans wants to convert spare shipping

:02:39.:02:41.

containers into homes - similar to these in London.

:02:42.:02:44.

It estimates it would cost ?10,000 to convert a container.

:02:45.:02:48.

The charity says a lack of affordable housing

:02:49.:02:50.

has seen an increase in veterans seeking help,

:02:51.:02:52.

and it has approached the Veterans Minister to ask

:02:53.:02:54.

for military sites where it could place the container homes.

:02:55.:02:57.

And I'm hoping that he will actually come back to us and give us a piece

:02:58.:03:01.

of land where we can pay a peppercorn rent on this so we can

:03:02.:03:04.

Bovington Camp would be ideal because I know of an area

:03:05.:03:09.

where there used to be temporary accommodation which would perfectly

:03:10.:03:12.

A 17-year-old boy has been arrested for attempted murder and grievous

:03:13.:03:22.

bodily harm after a stabbing in Bournemouth last night.

:03:23.:03:24.

Police were called to Ashley Road in Boscombe, where a man,

:03:25.:03:28.

His injuries though are not thought to be life threatening.

:03:29.:03:34.

The Hampshire sailor Alex Thomson is closing the gap on the leader

:03:35.:03:37.

in the Vendee Globe round-the-world race.

:03:38.:03:38.

Thomson is currently in second place but has set a new race record

:03:39.:03:41.

for the time taken to travel from Cape Horn to the Equator -

:03:42.:03:44.

beating the previous record by 14 hours.

:03:45.:03:46.

That's put him back in contention and he's now just

:03:47.:03:49.

Tomorrow the BBC is broadcasting a special Question Time-style debate

:03:50.:04:01.

on the on-going crisis on our railways.

:04:02.:04:03.

That's tomorrow evening at 7.30 here on BBC One -

:04:04.:04:05.

And now the weather with Holly Green.

:04:06.:04:14.

It is fairly murky through tonight with low cloud sinking down giving

:04:15.:04:18.

Some rain in the mix as well but the breeze

:04:19.:04:23.

A murky start tomorrow but as that breeze continues

:04:24.:04:29.

Come the afternoon outbreaks of rain, a few live bursts

:04:30.:04:34.

possible and some strong winds accompanying that.

:04:35.:04:36.

These are top temperatures but it turns chilly

:04:37.:04:38.

Windy at times for this week, especially from Wednesday,

:04:39.:04:44.

and turning colder from Thursday and by that stage we have the risk

:04:45.:04:47.

of something a little bit or wintry across the hills.

:04:48.:04:50.

Our next updates are in BBC Breakfast.

:04:51.:04:55.

Good evening. Rain around for all of us over the next 24-hour. Then it

:04:56.:05:18.

will turn colder later on this week. There will be frost and some snow

:05:19.:05:23.

around. I must stress this cold spell will be nothing out of the

:05:24.:05:26.

ordinary and nothing in comparison to the severe cold that other parts

:05:27.:05:31.

of Europe have experienced over the last few days. A wet start today for

:05:32.:05:36.

Northern Ireland and Scotland. Wet and windy. The rain will head its

:05:37.:05:40.

way southwards and eastwards across the UK during the course of the day.

:05:41.:05:44.

Turning up across the southern and eastern areas. Not a nice end to the

:05:45.:05:51.

day. Heavy bursts of rain in the south-east and east Anglia in the

:05:52.:05:54.

afternoon that this is three

:05:55.:05:56.
