rest of the week. Thank you. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Tonight on BBC London News: Living in fear of their own children. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Figures reveal nearly 2,000 parents were violently attacked in just one | :00:11. | :00:19. | |
year. I was very frightened at certain points. You know, it was a | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
case of what do I do? I didn't know where to turn to get the help. | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
Charities are calling for more support for vulnerable families | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
Also tonight: The Mayor increases London's Living Wage, but will any | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
more of the capital's employers adopt it? | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
Caught on CCTV. Five London boroughs tackle illegal parking on the school | :00:40. | :00:40. | |
run. And, set in stone. How recipients of | :00:41. | :00:48. | |
The Victoria Cross will also have a permanent honour in their home town. | :00:49. | :01:02. | |
Figures reveal that hundreds of parents across the capital are | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
living in fear of their own children. A study by Oxford | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
University found that there were nearly 2,000 cases of violence in | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
just one year. And charities say many more incidents of this nature | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
go unreported. Our Home Affairs Correspondent, Guy Smith, has more | :01:22. | :01:22. | |
details. When the physical abuse started, he | :01:23. | :01:34. | |
couldn't see what he was doing. What sort of things was he doing to you? | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
Punching, kicking. Breaking stuff in the house. She's talking about her | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
son. She says it started after his grandparents died when he was ten | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
and for the next four years she became a victim of his anger. At | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
times, fearing for her life. I was very frightened at certain points. | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
You know, it was a case of, what do I do? There was nowhere to turn to | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
get the help. Why were you feeling so frightened? Because you never | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
knew what the next step would be, how far the violence would go. It's | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
a problem that often remains a family secret, but a recent study | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
shows that in London, there were more than 1800 reported cases of | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
teenagers committing violence against their own parents in just | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
one year. Most suspects were male, the majority of victims were women. | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
The research also showed it could reflect any family `` affect any | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
family although half of the parents were unemployed. What we found were | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
a wide range of different factors and pathways that could lead to | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
this, which included things like previous experience of domestic | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
violence, but also things like substance abuse, learning | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
difficulties, mental health problems will stop quite a wide range of | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
different issues `` mental health problems. . Joe runs a mental health | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
charity begins counselling to many families. He says parents are | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
reluctant to report the violence of the child to the police. These are | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
parents who have gone to the far extreme of calling the police | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
because no parent wants their child reported to the police, so I think | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
the issue is bigger than we think. It is to boost subject, mainly | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
hidden and redressed. Parents have feelings of guilt and shame that | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
they have somehow failed. That means it is difficult to seek help, and | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
when parents do there is little support out there for them. Coming | :03:39. | :03:47. | |
up later: The Tottenham Hotspur manager is under fire for allowing | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
his goalie to play on after being knocked unconscious on the pitch. | :03:52. | :03:59. | |
The London mayor has announced that the living wage in London will rot | :04:00. | :04:13. | |
`` rise by 25p to ?8. The aim is to encourage companies to give | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
employees in the capital a better standard of living, by paying around | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
?2.50 an hour more than the minimum wage. But it's not compulsory for | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
businesses, and campaigners say workers simply can't afford to live | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
in London on anything less. Here's our Political Correspondent, Karl | :04:26. | :04:26. | |
Mercer. Since March, Lacey Green has been | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
pulling pints, and pulling in whats called the London Living Wage. Her | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
bosses are the first pub group to sign up to the scheme that pays its | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
workers above the legal minimum. sign up to the scheme that pays its | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
workers above the legal minimum. It means Lacey is earning about ?2 50 | :04:40. | :04:40. | |
means Lacey is earning about ?2.50 an hour more than she would. Quite a | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
big difference. I can afford to do things with my son and do things at | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
the end of the week, and things like that. You feel appreciated at work, | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
especially being in a pub, and everybody thinks you are on minimum | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
wage and they try to talk down to you. You think, no, I am on minima | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
`` living wage, actually. This morning, Lacey swapped the bar for | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
the stage, speaking at the event where the mayor announced that | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
London's living wage was going up to ?8.80. Do what the 432 businesses in | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
London have already done, pay up, pay the living wage to your | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
employees, they won't regret it, and above all, you won't regret it | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
either. He may be a big fan of the living wage. Not so big though, that | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
he wants it to be compulsory. It helps with the loyalty of staff, | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
productivity. If you went down the coercion route, you would take away | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
the attractiveness of the scheme. I think, frankly, it is moving fast | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
now. You are seeing many more companies taking it up. Still too | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
few, but the message I want to take to the CBI this afternoon is that | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
they should do even more. Some businesses too, say paying the | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
living wage can be harder when the economy isn't booming. We think most | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
of this thing is about a balance between the competitiveness of the | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
business and instructions from above. There are so many business | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
regulations within employment law and employment tax that all of these | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
changes make it hard for a business to operate. We are not asking for | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
anyone who does not have the money to pay this, but if they have the | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
money, this is serious, it is a moral choice, but as Boris says, | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
money, this is serious, it is a moral choice, but as Boris says it | :06:24. | :06:23. | |
moral choice, but as Boris says, it is a good business choice. The | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
business case is as strong as the moral case. Around 20,000 Londoners | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
will see their wages go up as a result of today's announcement. So | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
far, just over 200 firms are signed up in London. More than half a | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
million workers in the capital, though, don't get the living wage | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
it. Lacey is still very much in the minority. The Mayor of London has | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
just finished addressing business leaders at the CBI in London and | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
once plans to expand Heathrow to be ruled out by the government's | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
airport commission by Christmas Tom Edwards has been listening to his | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
speech and joins us now. We have heard the message from the mayor | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
before. What is different this time? Very broadly, we have heard it | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
before, but there might be a slight change in language. The expansion in | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
Heathrow, the mayor says, is undeliverable and politically | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
toxic. Strong words there. He previously called the delay | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
nonsensical. But now he wants the airport commission to rule out the | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
expansion of Heathrow by Christmas, which is a slight change. He made | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
the pitch to the CBI and this is what he had to say. The answer must | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
be to locate that hub elsewhere. what he had to say. The answer must | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
be to locate that hub elsewhere To be to locate that hub elsewhere. To | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
move Heathrow, liberate an area the size of Kensington and Chelsea, the | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, which could provide homes | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
for 180,000 people and 40,000 jobs in all manner of high`tech business | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
and industry. It is flat nonsense to say that such a move would cripple | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
the West London economy which, after all, flourished in the prewar period | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
and for centuries before aviation even existed. How does this double | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
vision of redeveloping Heathrow on one hand and building a new airport | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
in the east of London, how did that go down? The reaction was pretty | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
muted from the CBI. This idea of moving and airport to the east of | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
London does not go down well with businesses in and around Heathrow, | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
and the local councils there. If you go to the people of Kent, a lot of | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
people there do not like the idea of where the airport could end up. This | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
is what they had to say earlier. It is what they had to say earlier. It | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
is not like their is nothing around the area and it is empty. Those are | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
the situations and implications of placing the airport. They have to be | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
seriously considered before just going ahead with it. It is 50/5 . If | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
going ahead with it. It is 50/50. If you live here, it's a bad thing but | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
you live here, it's a bad thing, but are outside of the village it's a | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
chance for a job. But there are kids living there, going to school down | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
the road and that. For the London area might be the last row of the | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
dice to get the estuary airport into consideration by the Davis committee | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
but there's a long way to go between having an idea and something which | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
is a practical, workable solution which will be used by the airlines. | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
A continuing debate. What happens now? We will get the interim report | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
in the next month, and I think Heathrow, I will be amazed if it's | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
not that. We will get one recommendation from the Davis | :09:32. | :09:32. | |
committee after that. A man from south`west London has | :09:33. | :09:41. | |
pleaded guilty to stealing a Poppy Day appeal came from a garage in | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
Richmond. Leon Cowley, who is 3 and Richmond. Leon Cowley, who is 31 and | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
unemployed, admitted using scissors to cut the donation box away from | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
the till while the manager was distracted. He will be sentenced | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
next week. Up to 63,000 children in London will spend this Christmas | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
either homeless or in temporary accommodation, according to the | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
charity Shelter. An investigation showed many families are now living | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
in cramped conditions, with several people sharing one room. London | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
councils say cuts in government funding mean there's not enough in | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
their budgets to pay for better homes. | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
Thames Water is rolling out a scheme to install water meters at all of | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
the properties it serves, starting in Bexley next year. Around 30% of | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
Thames Water customers are already on meters, but the company wants all | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
its homes to have them by 2030. It says the new "smart meter" will help | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
households save water, but admits some could face increased bills. | :10:34. | :10:43. | |
Using CCTV to catch parents who park illegally during the school run | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
That's what five councils in the capital have decided to trial. | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
Cameras will film car number plates and give the information to councils | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
to issue fines. And as Helen Drew reports, it's getting a mixed | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
reaction. OK, you are looking for people who | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
are parking over driveways. Clipboards at the ready. These | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
ten`year`old son learning about the safety implications of parents | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
illegally parking on yellow lines as part of the school run. Jot down the | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
registration number and what they have been doing. CCTV type cameras | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
who will film the parents and record their number plates are being | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
trialled by five councils in London according to the manufacturers of | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
the technology. One of the councils is Enfield, and this headteacher is | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
in favour. We understand that parents work and may need to get | :11:37. | :11:38. | |
somewhere in a hurry, but five minutes to park down the road and | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
walk could save a life. Have we got the blue one parked over the drive? | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
I think it will persuade those last few to listen to us and think that | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
if they won't think about the children, they might think about | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
being reported in fine. London has more collisions involving cars near | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
schools than anywhere else in the UK according to charities and car | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
insurance research. So what the parents think about introducing the | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
cameras? I think it's a good idea. It's dangerous for the children. | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
It's very hard, because I've got four children, so the drop`off is | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
hard. Some say it is another money making scheme by councils, | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
especially in London where parking fines of up to ?130. I think it's | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
fines of up to ?130. I think it s too easy for the councils to rest `` | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
dress up revenue generation as road safety. Road safety is an emotive | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
subject and nobody wants to see children hurt at schools. The | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
government is also against the plans, saying it wants to stop the | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
use of CCTV cameras for parking enforcement. Enfield Council says it | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
is committed to improving road safety for all pedestrians, | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
especially children walking to and from school. The trial runs until | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
the end of the month when they will evaluate the success. The company | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
behind the camera is says to London councils are currently in the | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
process of buying the technology permanently. | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
Tottenham have defended their decision to allow their goalkeeper | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
to continue playing after he was knocked out on the pitch. Hugo | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
Lloris lost consciousness after a collision with another player | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
yesterday but insisted on playing on. The game's world governing body | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
says it may have breached their guidelines. But the Football | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
Association says it's not launching an investigation. Chris Slegg has | :13:21. | :13:29. | |
the story. This was the moment Hugo Lloris was | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
left with an injury that could have been much more serious. The knee of | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
the Everton player striking his forehead. After receiving lengthy | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
treatment on the pitch, Lloris was about to be substituted but he | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
insisted he wanted to keep playing and his manager allowed him to. | :13:46. | :13:53. | |
Obviously it was a difficult moment for us to take but he seemed very | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
assertive at the time to continue and it shows great character and | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
personality. It is a decision that drew immediate criticism from a head | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
injury charity. They should stop defending the indefensible and make | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
sure this never happens again, and the FA needs to introduce a very | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
strict protocol that if somebody is injured in that way, that they | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
immediately leave the pitch and have a proper assessment. The FA has no | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
plans to investigate Tottenham's conduct. But FIFA says the club may | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
have acted against its guidelines. Their Chief Medical Officer said... | :14:31. | :14:46. | |
Tottenham released a statement today which they said `` in which they | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
said Lloris was only allowed to resume playing after examination by | :14:54. | :15:02. | |
the club's medical expert. After an assessment was carried out the club | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
was totally satisfied he was fit to continue playing. Doctor Ralph | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
Rogers was one `` once a pitch side doctor for Chelsea. By asked him his | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
opinion. I would definitely have put my foot down and that goalie would | :15:19. | :15:19. | |
not have come back on the pitch If not have come back on the pitch If | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
I knew he was knocked unconscious. There was just no way. This season | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
other player was forced to sit out for five days after being concussed | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
after the other player was allowed to continue following this incident. | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
Hugo Lloris is safe and well. Football will be healthier, too, if | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
Football will be healthier, too if it draws up clearer guidelines. | :15:44. | :15:51. | |
Still to come... I'll be meeting the design of this | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
paving stone, which will commemorate all those given the Victoria Cross | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
for bravery during World War I. And that giant conveyor belt in the | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
sky, the Jetstream, is right across the middle of the UK this week. Find | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
out what that means for the weather in the forecast later. | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
Next, could it be a way of revitalising high streets hit by the | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
downturn? Lewisham has made an empty shop available to people who want to | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
start a restaurant but can't afford permanent premises. It's also | :16:23. | :16:24. | |
encouraging other councils across the capital to follow suit, as | :16:25. | :16:33. | |
Gareth Furby reports. It is a common sight on many London | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
high streets. But now Lewisham Council thinks it has a plan to | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
bring the shutters back up. Once a week, this empty shop will be turned | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
into a temporary restaurant. And it is also a chance for people to try | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
out a new business venture. I lost my job six weeks ago. I love | :16:57. | :17:03. | |
cooking. So, Mark and his partner Karen had a go at running a | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
restaurant. Even though it hardly had a kitchen. We are not Michelin | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
Star chefs. We are used to cooking in humble kitchens. I like a | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
challenge. Outside, cat foot was closing down for the night. Inside, | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
the pressure was on. We have an hour and 20 minutes. I think once they | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
have everything on the table, I will feel better. A lack of dishes means | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
a dash to the Pound shop... 's eco`blue we did not have enough | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
glasses so we had to improvise. And then a starter goes missing. I had | :17:44. | :17:52. | |
it around the corner but somebody dropped it. In the end, it works out | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
just fine, with delighted diners paying ?25 a head. Really, really | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
tasty food. Fresh food. Lovely. And wine. The cooks who took over the | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
empty shop pay just ?900 a night rental and Lewisham Council wants | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
other boroughs to pick up this idea. We have far too many empty shop | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
units and it is a way of keeping high streets alive, although we may | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
forfeit a very small amount of rent, and the benefits are much | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
wider to the area. It will all happen again next weekend. And, who | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
knows, it might soon come to another high street near you. | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
The Victoria Cross is the highest military honour for acts of bravery, | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
and just 14 have been awarded since the Second World War. From now on, | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
those receiving the medal will also be honoured with a commemorative | :18:45. | :18:46. | |
paving stone in their home town. paving stone in their home town | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
And, as Sarah Harris reports, it's a London architect who came up with | :18:50. | :18:51. | |
the winning design. The moment the winning design was | :18:52. | :19:05. | |
announced at a ceremony in central London. The paving stone will | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
commemorate hundreds of acts of bravery during the First World War | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
at next year's 100th anniversary of its upstart. Each slab will carry | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
the name of the soldier awarded the Victoria Cross and be laid down in | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
their hometown. These people performed extraordinary feats of | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
heroism and usually the common thread was `` the common soldier was | :19:29. | :19:36. | |
somebody in the middle of no`man's`land bringing them back, | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
overseeing overwhelming odds and deciding to take them on to save | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
their friends. More than 700,000 British soldiers lost their lives in | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
the war that was meant to end all wars. From the start in 1914, the | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
most incredible acts of bravery were recorded. Lance Sergeant Johnson was | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
awarded the Victoria Cross for twice saving members of his unit from | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
ambushes in Iraq in 2004. Even for a man this brave, the heroism in World | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
War I is or inspiring. I cannot imagine. I'd get goose bumps when | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
you mention World War I. I can't imagine what the men and women have | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
been through. Now, we are in armoured fighting vehicles. And it | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
is tough. And these men and women on foot, bayonets, charging to the | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
enemy. I can't imagine what that was like. The designer is London | :20:37. | :20:46. | |
architect Charlie McKee. The paving slab can be scanned to find out more | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
about those on it. Maybe it will get damaged as it is walked on but the | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
prompts are as important. The first paving stone will be laid in | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
Willesden Green, North London next August. | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
The Chelsea Hotel was once New York's tallest building, but it was | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
its legendary residents, rather than its structure, which cemented its | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
place in history. During the '60s and '70s it was home to the likes of | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
Bob Dylan, Andy Warhol and a young Madonna. Now a new production | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
opening at the Riverside Studios pays homage to the venue's | :21:22. | :21:23. | |
glittering past, as our arts correspondent, Brenda Emmanus, | :21:24. | :21:24. | |
reports. Lana Delray's cover version of | :21:25. | :21:44. | |
Leonard Cohen's ballot Chelsea Hotel number two, recording his brief | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
relationship with Janis Joplin. He was one of the many famous residents | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
at the Hotel which, for decades stood at the hub of New York's | :21:52. | :22:00. | |
bohemian life. It is now the inspiration behind this dance | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
company's latest production. Was it fun to work on? It was amazing fun. | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
We could do ten shows. Anyone could. It is just incredible. We did masses | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
and masses of research, and when we went into the studio, we almost | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
forgot all of it and we just let it kind of infiltrate because of what | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
we know. The loves, lives in dramas of those who stayed in Chelsea have | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
contributed to its legacy. Musicians, writers, actors and | :22:32. | :22:40. | |
musicians have made it their home. It has inspired movies, books and | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
songs from Andy Warhol, Joni Mitchell and Patti Smith. Through | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
dance, live music, film and narrative, it takes us on a 70 | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
minute journey through several stories, some real, some not, that | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
include the lives of the iconic hotel's famous inhabitants. What we | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
are doing with the show is not really telling a single narrative. | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
We are not telling the story of Dylan Thomas. We are not telling the | :23:09. | :23:16. | |
story of Andy Warhol or Jack Carroll back. But we are kind of taking | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
moments from their histories, from their writings and from what we know | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
about the hotel and we are trying to create the atmosphere of the place. | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
For the dancer Rosalyn, the multi`arts approach to the telling | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
of this story helps to broaden the show's appeal for those too young to | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
be familiar with the hotel's past. The older generation know about | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
these people who are maybe being these characters, or for the younger | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
generation, it is such a mix of dance and it is theatre and there is | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
live music. I think people who love music will come and see the show and | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
just be ready excited by it. Chelsea hotel is at the Riverside studio and | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
not suitable for the under 16 's. It's that time of the evening for a | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
look at the weather, with Wendy What does this week have in store? | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
If you imagine the Jetstream bringing us all this weather, it is | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
sitting right over us, so it is going to be very changeable, | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
extremely active with lots of low pressure around as we go through the | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
next few days. A bit less chilly. Today in the breeze it was quite | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
cool out there. As we go through this evening, now the sun has set, | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
we are going to have temperatures dropping like a stone, down to | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
around three degrees north of London. The second part of the night | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
will see cloud gathering with rain moving in as well. Before that, even | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
a touch of frost. Some of the rain in the early hours could be a bit on | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
the heavy side before it starts to fizzle out as we go through the | :25:03. | :25:03. | |
second part of tomorrow morning. second part of tomorrow morning | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
Come the afternoon, it will be drying out nicely with really nice | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
sunshine spells and temperatures at around 11 or 12 degrees. A bit of a | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
breezy afternoon. As a result, for Bonfire Night proper, there will be | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
a breeze blowing. It will be clear and dry overhead and a bit on the | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
chilly side. Temperatures, again, falling to single figures tomorrow | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
night as well. Wednesday, an interesting situation. That conveyor | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
belt brings us low pressure systems across the Atlantic with a web `` | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
weather front right across us through the afternoon on Wednesday | :25:44. | :25:45. | |
overnight into Thursday as well. It overnight into Thursday as well It | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
does mean we could get quite a lot of rain with a possibility that we | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
will have a warning out for that. It will be falling on saturated ground, | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
of course. Just about a dry, bright start for Wednesday but the rain | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
comes in on some of it will be a bit on the heavy side. That will spend | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
most of Wednesday afternoon, evening and night with us. Eventually it | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
will move away on Thursday. Thursday, fairly cloudy with some | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
bright sunny spells here and there with temperatures getting to 12 | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
degrees. The next one will come through on Friday with bits and | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
pieces of rain as well. So a changeable week. | :26:28. | :26:29. | |
A reminder of the main headlines: A manhunt is still under way tonight | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
for a terror suspect who disappeared on Friday. Detectives for Scotland | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
