Keep up-to-date online. That's all from

:00:00.:00:00.

Tonight, on BBC London News. ASBOs for terrorists and extremists. New

:00:00.:00:20.

proposals from a task force set up by the Prime Minister. We think it's

:00:21.:00:22.

right we should consider what further steps should be taken. Some

:00:23.:00:34.

critics say these moves could actually make it more difficult to

:00:35.:00:37.

monitor potential terrorists. Also tonight: What next for the Olympic

:00:38.:00:45.

Park? The Mayor wants a new science and culture hub. The device fitted

:00:46.:00:48.

by surgeons at the Royal Free Hospital which could avoid the need

:00:49.:00:52.

for liver transplants. Plus, Colin Firth plays a former prisoner of war

:00:53.:00:55.

in his latest film. We talk to him live on the red carpet.

:00:56.:01:03.

Hello and good evening. London knows all too well the dangers of violent

:01:04.:01:12.

extremism. Earlier this year, after the killing of soldier Lee Rigby,

:01:13.:01:16.

the Government set up a special task force to look at what more can be

:01:17.:01:19.

done to combat radicalisation, today it released its findings. They

:01:20.:01:23.

include proposals for new powers to tackle hate preachers and to block

:01:24.:01:29.

extremist websites. There are warnings that the approach could

:01:30.:01:31.

drive those attracted to militant ideologies further underground. This

:01:32.:01:34.

report by our home affairs correspondent, Guy Smith, contains

:01:35.:01:40.

some flash photography. Violent extremism is one of the biggest

:01:41.:01:44.

threats facing London and indeed the UK. It is both highly complex and

:01:45.:01:49.

unpredictable. How to tackle it has been the focus of a five`month

:01:50.:01:54.

Government investigation. The Prime Minister set up a task force after

:01:55.:01:59.

the killing of a British soldier in Woolwich in May. Far`reaching

:02:00.:02:05.

measures were proposed covering schools, universities, prisons,

:02:06.:02:11.

extremist websites and to stop hate preachers from spreading extremist

:02:12.:02:17.

views. They plan to use an order like an ASBO. It is about

:02:18.:02:21.

challenging all of those approaches, supporting communities, supporting

:02:22.:02:25.

more moderate voices. Where there are those that are aspousing hatred,

:02:26.:02:31.

division, actually challenging democracy, we think it is right we

:02:32.:02:34.

should consider what further steps should be taken, perhaps through

:02:35.:02:37.

preventative orders, that is something that we are considering.

:02:38.:02:42.

Another idea involved targeting extremists websites. The Government

:02:43.:02:46.

aims to work with internet companies to restrict terrorism material

:02:47.:02:51.

online. One think`tank, working to counter extremism here in Britain,

:02:52.:02:54.

broadly welcomed the plans, but had reservations. Obviously, there is a

:02:55.:02:58.

huge problem of extremist content online. It's better we tackle and

:02:59.:03:06.

engage this content with counter extreme measures, not by shutting

:03:07.:03:11.

down the debate. Which is technically very difficult to do.

:03:12.:03:15.

The Government wants Muslim chaplains in prisons to have

:03:16.:03:19.

one`on`one sessions challenging the views of some of the most dangerous

:03:20.:03:27.

terrorists. In universities they are reemphasising the need to restrict

:03:28.:03:34.

extremist preachers a platform. We should encourage free speech to

:03:35.:03:37.

challenge the ideas of those you don't agree with and win the

:03:38.:03:42.

argument. You don't do that by creating martyrs and doing the work

:03:43.:03:46.

for terrorist recruiters by giving the appearance of scapegoating

:03:47.:03:50.

particular communities. The Prime Minister, who is currently in China,

:03:51.:03:56.

has reportedly said he wants these proposals implemented and see an end

:03:57.:04:02.

to hate preaching in Britain. Guy is with me now. How are these proposals

:04:03.:04:06.

going down? We have had a mixed response. As you just heard, there

:04:07.:04:11.

are concerns around freedom of speech and some people think that

:04:12.:04:17.

these proposals are a bit vague. Broadly speaking, many people are

:04:18.:04:21.

thinking the Government actually is hitting the right targets. We have

:04:22.:04:24.

known for a long time that radicalisation happens in

:04:25.:04:29.

universities, prisons and mosques. We have tough legislation. The

:04:30.:04:32.

question is whether these new plans will make a real difference. As you

:04:33.:04:37.

just heard the minister saying, the aim is to support moderate voices,

:04:38.:04:42.

to support communities, but take on the terrorists. The Prime Minister

:04:43.:04:45.

has said that the Government shouldn't shy away from tackling

:04:46.:04:50.

extremism just because of cultural sensitivities. Many thanks. Lots

:04:51.:05:00.

more to come, including. She was a Gold`winning hero of the London

:05:01.:05:03.

Games. Now, Charlotte Dujardin gets ready for the highlight of the

:05:04.:05:21.

equestrian calendar. It's part of the Government plan for easing the

:05:22.:05:24.

housing crisis, freeing up offices to be converted into houses even if

:05:25.:05:28.

the local authority objects. Now, four London councils have taken the

:05:29.:05:31.

Government to court saying the new law is endangering jobs and will

:05:32.:05:34.

lead to lower quality housing. Warren Nettleford has this report.

:05:35.:05:36.

Bianca owns this sign language company in Islington providing

:05:37.:05:40.

translators and other services to businesses. All was going well until

:05:41.:05:44.

they were forced to move at short notice. They were based in this

:05:45.:05:48.

office block on the Holloway Road. The owners took advantage of a new

:05:49.:05:52.

law which allows them to convert office buildings into flats, that is

:05:53.:05:56.

without the council's permission. We had to move very quickly. We were

:05:57.:06:03.

given one to two weeks. Big affect on the company because I had set up

:06:04.:06:10.

courses, plans. Since May this year, when the law came into force, #50s

:06:11.:06:16.

schemes have been approved in Islington alone. There is a cost.

:06:17.:06:22.

Around 11,000 square meeters in office space has been lost.

:06:23.:06:28.

Islington Council say it is equates to 1,000 jobs. Charities are being

:06:29.:06:38.

eevict so it can be converted into residential property. We have a

:06:39.:06:42.

strong policy where we say 50% of all new housing should be

:06:43.:06:46.

affordable. As it doesn't go through the planning system, none of it is

:06:47.:06:52.

affordable. It has been sat there for a number of years. If we had

:06:53.:06:57.

gone through the traditional planning process it would have taken

:06:58.:06:59.

a number of years to convert the building into a residential

:07:00.:07:03.

building. It has taken eight weeks. We will have new homes by June next

:07:04.:07:08.

year. The Government say this new law is intended to create

:07:09.:07:10.

regeneration and boost economic growth. It's the Meted of creating

:07:11.:07:15.

growth which separates the Government from Islington and three

:07:16.:07:22.

other London councils. A judgment is expected from the High Court. A new

:07:23.:07:31.

vision for the future of the Olympic Park has been revealed. The Mayor

:07:32.:07:33.

wants to establish a major scientific and cultural hub near the

:07:34.:07:37.

Aquatics Centre and today the V and University College London said

:07:38.:07:39.

they were committed to establishing bases there. Ayshea Buksh reports.

:07:40.:07:46.

It was a spectacular start to an incredible Games for London. What is

:07:47.:07:48.

happening now on the Olympic Park? Well, as well as the sports venues

:07:49.:07:53.

there are plans for a cultural and academic hub, two well`known

:07:54.:07:56.

institutions have already expressed an interest. The V A, an

:07:57.:08:01.

internationally renowned museum and research centre and University

:08:02.:08:04.

College London, one of the world's top universities. At the moment this

:08:05.:08:08.

part of the Olympic Park is closed to the public. This is the land that

:08:09.:08:12.

has been set aside for this new project, over here is where the V

:08:13.:08:17.

A hope to have their new museum. Across the other side of the

:08:18.:08:22.

Aquatics Centre, just south of the Orbit is where UCL hope to have a

:08:23.:08:34.

new campus. Plans to building next to the Olympic Park collapse last

:08:35.:08:40.

year. Why can they get it together this year? We are looking for this

:08:41.:08:45.

cluster, this hub of higher education and cultural organisations

:08:46.:08:48.

to come together. We think it's attractive to UCL, the impediments

:08:49.:08:55.

they had before don't exist on the sites we had before. Do you mean

:08:56.:09:03.

local people? No. We are talking about the phasing. We will work with

:09:04.:09:06.

the local communities to make sure we can fully project the importance

:09:07.:09:11.

and the usefulness that UCL will bring in terms of local skills and

:09:12.:09:15.

jobs and we are extremely committed to working with those local

:09:16.:09:19.

communities. Locals and other Londoners will have to wait though

:09:20.:09:23.

for more exact plans. Both public and private money will be needed to

:09:24.:09:27.

complete the project. It is hoped building work will begin in 2016.

:09:28.:09:36.

Those proposals were unveiled as part of the so`called National

:09:37.:09:39.

Infrastructure Plan. What else in it was of interest to London? Let's

:09:40.:09:42.

cross to our political editor, Tim Donovan, who's at Westminster. Tim,

:09:43.:09:50.

enlighten us? Not a huge amount. A guarden bridge across the Thames,

:09:51.:09:55.

plans for one. The Government said it would put ?30 million towards the

:09:56.:10:00.

expected ?150 million cost of this. It equates to the amount of money

:10:01.:10:04.

that the people would get back constructing it, what they had to

:10:05.:10:08.

pay for VAT and so on. The rest of the money will come from private

:10:09.:10:13.

donations and TFL. Money to refurbish the railway station at

:10:14.:10:17.

Gatwick. Money going into a study looking at improving rail routes

:10:18.:10:21.

from the south to Heathrow. That, as you can imagine, is not something

:10:22.:10:25.

that the Mayor's office were particularly keen to welcome, given

:10:26.:10:29.

they don't see a long`term future for that airport there anyway. There

:10:30.:10:34.

anything for cyclists given the recent focus on road safety? No. It

:10:35.:10:38.

wasn't expected. Neither is anything expected tomorrow in the Autumn

:10:39.:10:41.

Statement. New evidence today that it is not really the issue of how

:10:42.:10:44.

many money there is going into cycling, what is happening to that

:10:45.:10:49.

money. How it is being spent at the moment. Papers going to Transport

:10:50.:10:53.

for London Board next week indicate a sixth of the budget for

:10:54.:10:58.

improvement, capital improvements on the roads, including cycling, ?60

:10:59.:11:02.

million won't be spent this year. That is a sensitive issue when

:11:03.:11:06.

people have been clamouring for improvements. There are delays with

:11:07.:11:13.

the cycle super highways and the cycle hire scheme. They are trying

:11:14.:11:18.

to assemble the best experts in the country to improve designs and it

:11:19.:11:21.

takes time in terms of planning. Is this problem with spending on

:11:22.:11:25.

infrastructure, Tim, confined to cycling? Not according to these

:11:26.:11:31.

latest figures. ?170 million will not be spent this year. A tenth of

:11:32.:11:36.

that budget. It is sensitive, as I indicated yesterday, when we were

:11:37.:11:39.

talking about fares, people are not going to be prepared, or happy to be

:11:40.:11:43.

paying year`on`year fare increases when they find out that the money is

:11:44.:11:47.

not going out the door. So there are delays or rephasing as Transport for

:11:48.:11:52.

London puts it, to Tube projects and so on. These delays to cycle

:11:53.:11:57.

projects. Tim, from Westminster, thank you. Michael Beckett was a

:11:58.:12:18.

former alcoholic whose life has been transformed by a new device being

:12:19.:12:21.

tested on patients with liver disease. Doctors at the Royal Free

:12:22.:12:24.

Hospital say they hope it could avoid people needing a transplant

:12:25.:12:28.

and even allow the liver to recover. Gareth Furby has the story. Michael

:12:29.:12:31.

Beckford was a heavy drinker with cirrhosis of the liver. It left him

:12:32.:12:33.

with a hugely swollen stomach, caused by a build`up of fluid. I had

:12:34.:12:36.

the normal comments about, "are you pregnant? When is it due, is it

:12:37.:12:39.

twins?" Now, he is a different man. It is because a tiny pump has been

:12:40.:12:45.

implanted inside his abdomen This removes the fluid, making it easier

:12:46.:12:52.

for his liver to heal. He was at the Royal Free Hospital today where the

:12:53.:12:55.

divorce is being tried. He is said to be the first to try it in the

:12:56.:12:59.

country and has nothing but praise. It's been amazing that I have gone

:13:00.:13:06.

from being this close to having a liver transplant to having a

:13:07.:13:11.

different lifestyle near enough. We will take you off the transplant

:13:12.:13:17.

list, is that OK? With 4,000 people a year dying in the UK from

:13:18.:13:22.

cirrhosis the device will have a clinical trial involving 60 patients

:13:23.:13:27.

across Europe. So far so good. We have had a few complications which

:13:28.:13:33.

we will describe in the clinical trial. We don't know if it's

:13:34.:13:38.

device`related or natural history of the disease. We need to do a

:13:39.:13:42.

controlled clinical trial to be sure we can separate the disease from the

:13:43.:13:46.

device. Michael Beckford's liver is healing. His appearance is back to

:13:47.:13:51.

normal. Soon the pump will be removed. Along with giving up

:13:52.:13:54.

drinking alcohol, it may just have saved his life. A 15`year old girl

:13:55.:14:07.

has been arrested in connection with the murder of a teenager in north

:14:08.:14:10.

London. 17`year`old student Joshua Folkes was fatally stabbed in the

:14:11.:14:13.

chest outside a flat in Palmers Green in the early hours of

:14:14.:14:16.

yesterday morning. Detectives are appealing to his friends and the

:14:17.:14:19.

local community to help find his killers. Still to come tonight: What

:14:20.:14:25.

is happening people, it's me Tinchy Stryder. Find out why I'm in East

:14:26.:14:29.

London, where I grew up. Don't miss that. He stars in the real`life

:14:30.:14:33.

story of a British soldier who becomes a prisoners of war. The I

:14:34.:14:37.

will talk to Colin Firth about his latest film The Railway Man.

:14:38.:14:48.

The police officer at the centre of the so`called plebgate row is to sue

:14:49.:14:53.

the former Cabinet minister, Andrew Mitchell for libel. PC Toby Rowland

:14:54.:14:56.

was involved in a heated confrontation with Mr Mitchell at

:14:57.:14:59.

the gates of Downing Street last year. Emma North's been following

:15:00.:15:13.

this. Remind us about this? Mr Mitchell was told he couldn't ride

:15:14.:15:17.

his bicycle through the gates of Downing Street. A row enSued it was

:15:18.:15:21.

the contents of this row which caused all the fuss. Mr Mitchel

:15:22.:15:25.

claims he said to the police officers, "I thought you guise were

:15:26.:15:30.

exposed to (BLEEP)

:15:31.:15:36.

help us." The Toby Rowland said Mr Mitchel's language was much more

:15:37.:15:43.

robust. Mr Mitchel admits swearing at the police officers he doesn't

:15:44.:15:47.

deny that he used those exact words. That is the short background. Let us

:15:48.:15:56.

bring ourselves up`to`date. Mr Mitchel is suing the Sun. He accused

:15:57.:16:02.

PC Rowland's of lying. He challenged him to repeat the words under oath

:16:03.:16:11.

in court. PC Rowland's is suing Andrew Mitchell for libel. It will

:16:12.:16:14.

now be a battle of reputations that will be played out in the courts.

:16:15.:16:27.

Thank you for that update. The Duke of Cambridge joined in a game of

:16:28.:16:30.

volleyball at a sports centre in west London today. The Prince looked

:16:31.:16:34.

a little lost as he tried out his skills, but laughed and joked with

:16:35.:16:37.

young people at the event. The scheme in White City trains under

:16:38.:16:40.

24`year olds ` many from disadvantaged social backgrounds `

:16:41.:16:45.

to become qualified sports coaches. Her triumphant showing at London

:16:46.:16:48.

2012 made Charlotte Dujardan one of the faces of the Games. Further

:16:49.:16:52.

success in 2013 has seen her nominated for the prestigious

:16:53.:16:56.

Sportswoman of the Year Award. Chris Slegg has been to meet the Gold

:16:57.:16:59.

medallist who helped bring the dancing horses of dressage to a new

:17:00.:17:01.

audience. COMMENTATOR: Britain has got another

:17:02.:17:14.

Gold. What a performance. With two Gold medals in dressage at London

:17:15.:17:19.

2012, Charlotte Dujardin was one of the stars of last year's Olympics.

:17:20.:17:25.

This morning, the World Number One was back in the capital, riding with

:17:26.:17:33.

officers of the Household Cavalry in Hide Park. It's different to what

:17:34.:17:40.

I'm used to. No pressure, having a real easy stroll around the park.

:17:41.:17:44.

Today served as gentle preparation for one of the highlights of the

:17:45.:17:48.

equestrian year, the International Horse Show at Olympia. Given the

:17:49.:17:53.

year you have had, your confidence must be sky high? I'm really, really

:17:54.:17:59.

confident. It's probably one of the biggest competitions I love. I look

:18:00.:18:04.

forward to it every year. It's just the ultimate kind of dream to ride

:18:05.:18:12.

at Olympia. Charlotte Dujardin won Olympic Gold an this year's Olympic

:18:13.:18:20.

Championship. I complete abroad a lot on him. The British crowd don't

:18:21.:18:24.

see him that often. He is a special horse. We have a great partnership.

:18:25.:18:28.

I been training him since he was four. We have grown such a great

:18:29.:18:32.

connection and partnership. Tomorrow, the 28`year`old could be

:18:33.:18:40.

crowned Sportswoman of the Year. It's a huge honour to be a part of

:18:41.:18:55.

that. To be recognised and you know, I just want to thank everybody who

:18:56.:19:00.

is voting. 2012, wasn't bad, Charlotte Dujardin hopes 2013 ends

:19:01.:19:11.

well too. Let's hope so. In football, Fulham's new boss will

:19:12.:19:14.

take charge of his team for the first time tonight as they play host

:19:15.:19:18.

to Tottenham in the Premier League. Rene Moolensteen has replaced Martin

:19:19.:19:21.

Jol who was sacked after five league defeats in a row. Moolensteen had

:19:22.:19:24.

two spells at Manchester United as part of Sir Alex Ferguson's back

:19:25.:19:28.

room staff. He only arrived at the west London club last month as a

:19:29.:19:30.

coach. It's a far cry from his role as Mr

:19:31.:19:39.

Darcy. Colin Firth's latest film sees him as a prisoner of war in a

:19:40.:19:43.

Japanese camp during World War II. The Railway Man is based on a true

:19:44.:19:46.

story. Our entertainment correspondent, Brenda Emmanus, is at

:19:47.:19:53.

the premiere in Leicester Square. I certainly am. M.th railwayman is a

:19:54.:20:03.

powerful story survival love and redemption. Before Colin enlightens

:20:04.:20:18.

us, here is a clip. `` The Railway Man. He is alive, I know where he

:20:19.:20:23.

is. He won't have a clue you are coming. This is what you're going to

:20:24.:20:29.

do, isn't it? I'm afraid the museum is closed. I'm surprised you don't

:20:30.:20:36.

recognise me. Lomax. I'm asking the questions, you answer. I did not

:20:37.:20:45.

expect you to be alive. Colin joins me now having been pulled away from

:20:46.:20:53.

his signing of fans. Is it fair to say this takes the story of when

:20:54.:20:58.

they return after the war the emotional and physical impact of

:20:59.:21:02.

that? I think it's a very different telling of that period of history. I

:21:03.:21:11.

think that from what I have understood from people who were on

:21:12.:21:16.

that railway, it doesn't really represent their experience. This is

:21:17.:21:22.

an attempt to, I think, you know really deal with it head on. Yes, it

:21:23.:21:28.

is to do with the aftermath. I think that the suffering that was endured

:21:29.:21:33.

by the people there didn't end with the war. I think also it addresses

:21:34.:21:40.

the fact there were a lot of secondary casualties, wives,

:21:41.:21:43.

children and other people who have to deal with the damage. We have

:21:44.:21:48.

seen some of the veterans of the Death Railway attending the

:21:49.:21:51.

screening this evening. Their story is rarely told. Is that one of the

:21:52.:21:55.

motivations for you, is that what you found interesting? It is one of

:21:56.:22:01.

the things that drew me. Something that was not only so terrible, on

:22:02.:22:07.

such a scale I think that it really is quite mind`boggling that it's not

:22:08.:22:11.

something we study in schools. It's not something that we see regular

:22:12.:22:19.

expressed through film. You know, most of the World War II films are

:22:20.:22:23.

about the European wars. They don't necessarily shy away from the

:22:24.:22:28.

horrors, there are an awful lot of adventure films told. We are running

:22:29.:22:36.

out of time, Eric Lomax died while the film was being edited. He wasn't

:22:37.:22:43.

able to be here. Thank you very very much. You pokerful story. To you

:22:44.:22:48.

both, thank you. Something very different. How's this for a school

:22:49.:23:01.

music lesson? Sixth formers at a new academy in Stratford, who've been

:23:02.:23:04.

set the task of coming up with a school anthem, have been given a

:23:05.:23:08.

helping hand by none other than east London rapper Tinchy Stryder.

:23:09.:23:11.

Chobham Academy opened in September in the newly created East Village

:23:12.:23:14.

next to the Olympic Park. Helen Drew has been finding out more. Students

:23:15.:23:19.

rehearsing their new school song here at Chobham Academy under the

:23:20.:23:23.

watchful eye of Tinchy Stryder. It's the launch of the east village

:23:24.:23:27.

artist and residents programme which will see various artists creating

:23:28.:23:32.

work in the area. It means a lot to this East Ender to be involved. When

:23:33.:23:36.

I was growing up in East London the opportunities weren't there for us,

:23:37.:23:41.

like. That. There are so many options for them now. I make music.

:23:42.:23:45.

When I was growing up I couldn't just go to a studio or have a school

:23:46.:23:50.

where they have studios. To know it's here in East London. It's

:23:51.:23:53.

great, an amazing thing to happen. Chobham Academy is part of London's

:23:54.:23:58.

newest neighbourhood, the East Village, which is part of the

:23:59.:24:01.

athletes' village from last year's Olympics. The idea today is to try

:24:02.:24:05.

and create a cultural legacy. The change in this area of East London

:24:06.:24:09.

is being felt by these sixth`formers. London now, after the

:24:10.:24:12.

Olympics, everything is about opportunities for children, for the

:24:13.:24:16.

youth. That is what is happening. Really good opportunity. Great

:24:17.:24:19.

platform to start off at. The fact he is from East London really makes

:24:20.:24:25.

you think, I can do it. I can progress to be what I want to to be.

:24:26.:24:28.

Has had a great time working with them. The whole bouncing ideas, what

:24:29.:24:33.

I like about them is that there wasn't offended. They all had their

:24:34.:24:37.

own talents and skills. We combined it. It was good. Other musicians,

:24:38.:24:43.

poets, artists and writers will come to Strafford over the next year to

:24:44.:24:47.

help build the cultural legacy that started with a song.

:24:48.:24:55.

Wet and windy weather on the way. We will escape the worst of it this

:24:56.:25:07.

time round. No sign of it at the moment out there. It is quiet, it is

:25:08.:25:11.

clear and it is cold, widespread frost is developing. That will be

:25:12.:25:16.

down on the grass. It might turn misty for a time over night tonight.

:25:17.:25:23.

As the breeze freshens it will blow mistiness away. A few places air

:25:24.:25:30.

temperatures will get close to freezing. For many of us they will

:25:31.:25:36.

stay above zero. Tomorrow a bright, breezy, but chilled start to the

:25:37.:25:40.

day. As the breeze freshens up it will blow more and more cloud across

:25:41.:25:45.

us. It will get quite gusty by the afternoon. We are looking at a top

:25:46.:25:52.

temperature of 10`11 Celsius. Just in time for tomorrow evening's rush

:25:53.:25:56.

the wind will drive rain across the London area. Now, the gusts for most

:25:57.:26:02.

of us tomorrow will be around 40mph to 50mph. Up across the Home

:26:03.:26:06.

Counties to the north of London there will be damaging gusts of

:26:07.:26:11.

60mph. Further north there are strongest gusts hitting 70mph,

:26:12.:26:17.

80mph, even stronger than that in place. That is the reason for the

:26:18.:26:22.

Amber weather warning. There will be travel trouble. Make the most of the

:26:23.:26:26.

travel service on radio and online. The strong winds will push a lot of

:26:27.:26:31.

water dow the North Sea. There will be an increased risk of some coastal

:26:32.:26:35.

flooding in Essex and Kent. You might want to keep an eye on that.

:26:36.:26:39.

Things should calm down on Friday. Even with the sunshine, it will

:26:40.:26:43.

still feel cold in the wind. Over the weekend, the cloud will be back

:26:44.:26:46.

and it won't feel quite so cold. Thank you very much. A reminder of

:26:47.:26:56.

the day's headlines: The celebrity chef, Nigella Lawson, has admitted

:26:57.:26:59.

in court that she took cocaine, but denied she was an addict. She said

:27:00.:27:03.

it happened during a very difficult time in her relationship with former

:27:04.:27:08.

husband, Charles Saatchi. The jury in the Lee Rigby murder trial heard

:27:09.:27:13.

that one of the alleged killers showed no regret or remorse. Michael

:27:14.:27:17.

Adebolajo criticised British politicians and said he was upset

:27:18.:27:21.

about the deaths of people in Muslim lands. The Home Secretary has been

:27:22.:27:24.

setting out proposals on how the Government plans to tackle

:27:25.:27:28.

extremism. They include new powers to combat hate preachers as well as

:27:29.:27:32.

extremist material on the internet. That is it from us for now. Alex

:27:33.:27:41.

Bushill will be back with the latest from the London newsroom at 10.25pm.

:27:42.:27:46.

From all the team here, thanks for watching and have a lovely evening.
