Tonight, how Londoners are paying tribute to Nelson Mandela. Many have | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
laid flowers and candles in his memory. He stood for something and | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
ethos of what he was about not only changed South Africa but it changed | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
the world. And look up this morning and I've thought there had been a | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
death. I thought I should wear a `` I thought should wear black, but | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
this is the rainbow nation. I thought should wear black, but this | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
is the rainbow nation. I'm wearing blue, red, yellow and whatever | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
colour I can find. We will be live at South Africa house, where people | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
are gathering for a vigil to pay respects. | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
Plus Ken Livingstone tells us how Mandela played a crucial role in | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
bringing the Olympics to London. Also coming up, a special report . | :00:48. | :00:57. | |
Could London learn from Seville's cycle safety scheme? | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
And I will have the latest on the storms, plus the weekend prospects | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
and a look ahead to next week's weather. Join me for the forecast | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
later in the programme. Good evening. Londoners had been | :01:08. | :01:22. | |
paying tribute to Nelson Mandela, thanking him for his legacy and | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
describing him as a man who changed the world. The former South African | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
president visited the capital and number of times, thanking the city | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
for its support for anti`apartheid campaigns. Flowers and candles have | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
been laid and his statue at Parliament Square. Books of | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
condolence have been opened at Westminster Abbey and South Africa | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
house, where a the near Mack's message saluted an aunt who brought | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
people together through the power of forgiveness and love. | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
Nelson Mandela was no stranger to London. In 1962, before the trial | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
which sentenced him to 27 years in prison, he toured the capital to | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
drum up support from some pathetic British leaders. Denis Healey was | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
his political guide. I was asked by a friend of his, Mary Benson, a | :02:12. | :02:19. | |
nurse during the war, to introduce him to few games though. He wanted | :02:20. | :02:29. | |
to meet you. `` Hugh Gainesville. Mr Mandela's commitment and judgement | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
changed the country peacefully but cemented his reputation as a global | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
figure that people today wanted to pay tax to. I thought of them this | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
morning. This is the rainbow nation. I am in wearing blue, red, yellow, | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
whatever colour I can find. The ethos of what he is about, it not | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
only changed South Africa, but the world. To come out with that | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
humanity and forgiveness, it is fantastic. It teaches the world what | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
we should be like. His visit to Brixton in 1996 is now part of | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
London folklore. It not only turned heads, for those who were there, it | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
changed minds. His visit to Brixton enabled us to start thinking | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
differently. You cannot fight your way out of problems every day. You | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
have to think of another strategy. And he came and United Brixton. | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
Nobody else has achieved that. By coming to Brixton, we see how | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
somebody who has been at the heart of overcoming the biggest atrocities | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
that the human condition can injure, who comes here as an | :03:36. | :03:43. | |
examples of `` as an example of the vocal these that people can | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
overcome, to inspire the communities that are there. There was a rainbow | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
of people, of all different backgrounds and all different | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
generations. Waiting for this guy to arrive. Being massively inspired by | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
him. Today, the current London Mayor paid his tribute to the | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
transformational power of the man his people called Madiba. I am from | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
the generation that grew up in admiration of Nelson Mandela. It is | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
unquestionably true that in my party, all over the last 50 years, | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
there were people who took a different line. They would now say | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
that they were wrong and that his plane. Mandela's presence will | :04:27. | :04:35. | |
remain in the capital with our memories and statues. Above all, the | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
one who stands, facing parliament, were once he stood undreamed of an | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
apartheid free South Africa before embarking on a long march to | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
freedom. Nelson Mandela's strong connections | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
with London. In a moment we will cross to South Africa square, where | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
a vigil is being held. `` South Africa House. But Assad Ahmad is at | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
Parliament Square. Many different tributes here, flowers at the foot | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
of Nelson Mandela's statue, candles being lit and messages of support. | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
So many things. But one thing you do not get an idea here is of the | :05:20. | :05:28. | |
tribute of tears. Skiers who have rolled `` tears that have rolled out | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
of the men and women here, who have come here to remember the man who | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
was a symbol of all these things. Among the cards, this one, saying, | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
you were a member of my family that are never met. My grandparents told | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
me great things about this person, a peaceful man, striving for equality | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
always. Today, the world grieves. That sums up how so many people are | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
feeling tonight as they come to lay flowers. You have come here to lay | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
flowers, where have you come from? I have come from south`east London. We | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
wanted to pay respects to Nelson Mandela. I felt I needed to be here | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
to pay my respects. He has had such an impact on my life and wanted to | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
be here with everyone else, friends and family, just to honour him. | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
Where have you come from, madam? Brookstone. I'm here with my | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
grandkids and my daughter. And why have you come? Because he spread the | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
love. He draws you to him because he has a lot of love. And they always | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
say that love conquers hate. I will leave you to lay your flowers. This | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
is not the only place in London were tributes have been paid. Down the | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
road, at South Africa House, a vigil is taking place. And there, we can | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
join my colleague. There are hundreds of people here | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
for the vigil this evening outside South Africa House. For the vigil | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
began, people have been coming throughout the day to pay their | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
respects. We have heard from the mayor, who was here earlier, as was | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
David Cameron. South Africa House played a focal feature in the | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
anti`apartheid movement of the 1970s and 1980s. And that movement started | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
in the capital. The Springboks came to Twickenham | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
but the police were there. They came by motorbike and horse. 500, ready | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
to deal with the anti`apartheid demonstrators threatening to smash | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
the South Africa players to. London in 1969, ten years after the | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
anti`apartheid movement was born. One of the biggest demonstrations | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
against the South African regime that this country had ever seen. | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
Jeers from the rugby enthusiasts and booze and whistles from the | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
demonstrators. `` cheers from. For years, anti`apartheid protesters | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
gathered outside the South African Embassy in London. For ten years, | :07:54. | :08:01. | |
people lined the street. We used to have a headquarters for the ANC, | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
Mandela's party, here in London. It was bombed by agents of South | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
Africa. We were denounced as being in favour of a Communist state. | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
Actually, all Mandela wanted was equality. This is garish Street | :08:19. | :08:27. | |
North in Camden, where the boycott movement was first founded. `` Gow | :08:28. | :08:35. | |
Street North. It started in humble beginnings, when exiles met in | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
London to form the boycott movement to campaign against South African | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
goods. Many future African leaders were based in London. In a sense, it | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
was natural that London would become the focal point of the struggle | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
against apartheid internationally. # Free Nelson Mandela... | :08:54. | :09:03. | |
# I'm begging you. In 1994, what started as a protest song became an | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
anthem. The man who wrote it is still a musician in London. | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
It was played inside football stadiums in South Africa. It was | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
amazing to see that on the news because it was the only place that | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
black people were allowed to congregate. The United Democratic | :09:23. | :09:31. | |
front used to play at and the ANC used to make speeches in the | :09:32. | :09:41. | |
football stadiums, amazingly. The song proved a centrepiece of the | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
Mandela concert for years later in Wembley. London sending a message of | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
`` anti`apartheid message around the world. | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
Christabel Gurney was part of that message for years, running the | :09:55. | :10:02. | |
anti`apartheid news. The main impetus to the change in South | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
Africa was, of course, the people inside the country who rose up in | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
the 80s and the Africa National Congress. But I think that the | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
collapse of apartheid was helped by the sanctions campaign. Badges and | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
banner headlines made in London were not in vain, it seems. | :10:20. | :10:28. | |
We heard in that report from someone who was the vice`chair of the | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
anti`apartheid movement in the 1980s and 1990s. Someone else who was part | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
of that movement joins me now. You met Mr Mandela? I did. We were | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
invited to breakfast at Buckingham Palace. When he came to Britain | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
after being released, he asked to meet with the Archbishop, to say | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
thank you to him and to the British people and to the anti`apartheid | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
movement, for the role they played in freeing him and ending apartheid. | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
It was unbelievable. What was he like thematic and cannot describe. | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
`` what was he like? I cannot discredit. He was very low`key. It | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
was like having breakfast with your grandfather. It was the five of us | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
around a table having a conversation. He asked me fire was | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
hungry, if I was on a diet. I'd just could not eat! It was amazing. He | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
was understated, he had so much gravitas. `` if I was hungry. But | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
not arrogant at all. Very down`to`earth. Very. Just like a | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
private breakfast with your grandad. Thank you. That vigil is going on | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
until just after 7:30pm this evening. It is a 95 minute vigil, to | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
mark the 95 years of Nelson Mandela's life. | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
From Trafalgar Square, thank you both. | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
With me now, two people who knew Nelson Mandela, his `` his | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
goddaughter, Tanya von Ahlefeldt, and Sharon Grant, the widow of one | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
of London's first black MPs, who Mr Mandela visited here in the 80s. | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
They give are coming in, both of you. Tanya, you had a connection | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
with him, even though you had not met him during childhood. My father | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
was actually one of the ten accused at his trial. I was in my mothers | :12:20. | :12:28. | |
womb at the time. Just before I was born, my father passed a note to | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
Nelson Mandela, to say, further to some of the more dubious boasts that | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
he has held, would he do the honour of being godfather to their child. | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
And he passed a note back down and said that the honour would be all | :12:44. | :12:51. | |
his. What does it feel like, having someone as iconic as Nelson Mandela | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
as your godfather? Obviously, it is the most extraordinary honour. It is | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
something I am mixed really proud of. Sadly, my father died young, but | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
we were always brought up with the ethos that Madiba exuded. We wanted | :13:07. | :13:14. | |
to keep that, going forward. And was that your experience? I know that | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
your husband was with Reverend Jesse Jackson, the David Nelson Mandela | :13:18. | :13:25. | |
was freed. `` the day Nelson Mandela was freed. What did your husband say | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
about that date two it was probably the most important day in his life. | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
`` about that day? It was probably the most important day in his life. | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
It was the day that he and so many others had been campaigning for for | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
so long. The fact that it happened was amazing. The fact that he was | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
able to be there on the day, as Madiba what to freedom, I think he | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
was pretty much blown away by it. And he was in the City Hall in Cape | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
Town in the middle of quite considerable chaos at the time. And | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
both he and Jesse Jackson and his wife were virtually mobbed by the | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
crowd. I think Jesse got into difficulty. I think is wife's | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
clothes were torn. At the crowd opened and let him through the cos | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
they thought that he was the leader of the movie at the time. Such was | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
the attraction and charisma of this man. But he also went out of his way | :14:31. | :14:38. | |
to support the black community here. `` the leader of Namibia. When he | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
came, he made a point of not just contacting those activists but he | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
did come to visit black communities in London and elsewhere. He made a | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
point of identifying with the struggles that were going on here. | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
Around the Stephen Lawrence issue and many others, red stop and | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
search, which was a huge issue. `` around stop and search. He had no | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
shame in identifying himself with those issues domestic way. Tanya, | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
much has been said about his charisma, making people feel at | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
ease. `` domestically. What was your first meeting with him like? He was | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
exactly that. It was the most extraordinary thing. And being at an | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
event that he was supposed to be at, the 40th anniversary of the | :15:27. | :15:34. | |
cease`fire, and he was not present. At the end of the event, we were | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
taken to water Cicely's house and he was there. The reason he was there | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
was because Walter was feeling really. He watched it on TV with | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
Walter Rather than going their full stop I was introduced to him. `` | :15:49. | :15:56. | |
rather than going there. Full. Full I wasn't used to him. He bear hugged | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
me and said, how wonderful to meet you. I said, I think it is the other | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
way around! I mean, what an amazing man. In amongst all these incredible | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
icons that were there with me. He actually wanted to sit and talk to | :16:11. | :16:18. | |
me and hear about my life. We have seen lots of people in London | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
wanting to pay their respects and thank him. This was a man who spent | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
almost a third of his life in prison, fighting injustice. Do you | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
think people much younger in London are where of how much of a force for | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
change he was? I think we still have a job to do, those of us who are | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
getting on a bit, to ensure that young people do understand, how many | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
pressures there are young people today, in times gone by, they were | :16:50. | :16:57. | |
much greater. There are lessons to be learnt about how one copes with | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
that and what tax dicks one uses `` what tactics one uses to address | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
these issues that still exist. We have a job to do in trying to use | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
the example of Mandela to encourage and educate our younger citizens in | :17:16. | :17:24. | |
London. Thank you both for coming. Coming up later: A full sports | :17:25. | :17:32. | |
round`up, including how Premier League clubs will pay tribute to | :17:33. | :17:42. | |
Mandela this weekend. In other news, a South London man | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
convicted for his part in the "honour" killing of a 20`year`old | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
woman from Mitcham has been sentenced to eight years in prison. | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
Dana Amin was found guilty of preventing the lawful and decent | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
burial of Banaz Mahmod. The Iraq Eclipse woman was strangled in 2006 | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
by Rose Tibbs who disapproved of her boyfriend. Her body was buried in a | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
suitcase in Birmingham. Four relatives have already been jailed | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
for the murder. A former Essex police woman who | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
failed to properly investigate a rape allegation and then told the | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
claimant it had been dropped has been jailed for four months. Hannah | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
Notley from Benfleet pleaded guilty last month to a charge of misconduct | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
in a public office. Essex police they they are waiting for | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
recommendations from the independent lease complaints commission. BBC | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
London understands that a key adviser to Boris Johnson is to | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
recommend changes to street design and to the law to make cycling | :18:38. | :18:39. | |
safer. The tamari, who is on the Mayor's | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
design advisory group, has been gathering evidence from 40 cities | :18:46. | :18:47. | |
around the world. Like many cyclists, Peter Murray | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
thinks London is a dangerous place. I cycle as though everybody is out | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
to kill me. But unlike many, he may be able to do something about it. | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
The big roads are really dangerous. Because Peter Murray is a leading | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
expert on city design, and serves on the mayor's design advisory group. | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
He is also a passionate long`distance cyclist who has been | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
collecting evidence about the cycling provision in every city he | :19:15. | :19:21. | |
has cycled through. Copenhagen, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Cincinnati, | :19:22. | :19:29. | |
Chicago. Cannes, Lyon, Paris. So we joined Peter Murray on his final | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
city visit before he reports to the mayor's cycling adviser, to Seville, | :19:34. | :19:45. | |
in Spain. It is interesting to see what happens when we come up to this | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
junction. And he has a personal reason to be interested in | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
junctions. His friend and fellow architecture expert, Francis | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
Golding, was killed in London last month. Francis Golding was cycling | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
straight on at a junction not dissimilar to this. He was killed | :20:03. | :20:10. | |
when a coach turned left. But in Seville, they do things differently. | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
The cyclists are taken off the road. They share the pavement with the | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
pedestrian. It means the cyclists are then separated from vehicles and | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
are less likely to be knocked over and killed. If this had been in | :20:26. | :20:36. | |
place, it would definitely have saved his and many other people's | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
lives. Peter Murray says in just six years, Seville has spent around ?30 | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
million on its cycle network, and London could learn from it. This is | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
a part of what the Americans call road dieting, semi`circular concrete | :20:48. | :20:49. | |
sections which are obviously plugged into the roadway. We have come right | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
the way across town, and we have been on a protected route the whole | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
way. In London just in the last few weeks, there have been six people | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
killed. Of course, London's streets are generally narrower, and this | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
Seville cyclist told us some motorists still don't pay enough | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
attention to the cycle routes when they meet the road. I think it is | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
not safe, because the mentality of the driver in Seville must change. | :21:16. | :21:23. | |
So, after cycling through 40 cities, what will Peter Murray be | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
recommending London should do? People changing their behaviour | :21:29. | :21:30. | |
through information, changing their behaviour through the law and then | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
changing their behaviour through infrastructure. We need to have a | :21:34. | :21:41. | |
radical change in the quality of infrastructure. The mayor has the | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
money to do that, and the sooner he can implement it all, the better. Is | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
he just chasing rainbows, or will Boris Johnson think it is a vision | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
worth pursuing? We will find out in the coming months. | :21:54. | :22:06. | |
Let's turn to the sport now, with events this weekend also paying | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
tribute to Mandela. That is right. A minute's applause | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
will be held at Premier League matches this weekend in tribute to | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
former South African president Nelson Mandela, who died yesterday. | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
Ahead of Arsenal hosting Everton on Sunday, Gunners manager Arsene | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
Wenger praised Mandela's capacity to inspire the sporting world and | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
beyond. He is a huge example for everybody, not only in sport, but | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
worldwide. For me, for his huge democratic attitude and for his | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
capacity of forgiveness. Saracens rugby players will wear | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
back on bands for their Heineken Cup match at Italian side Zebre tomorrow | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
as a tribute to Mandela. The club 's Chief Executive is South African | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
Edward Griffiths. He was CEO of the South African rugby union during the | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
1995 World Cup, a tournament the host nation won, with Mandela | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
wearing the famous Springbok jersey to present the cup to captain | :23:10. | :23:18. | |
Francois Pienar. It has been a mixed 24 hours for | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
Brentford fans. They could be set to lose their popular manager Uwe | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
Rosler to Wigan. Benford 's owners have given the FA Cup holders | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
permission to speak to Rosler, who led the team to last season's | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
play`off final. But there was good news for the club late last night, | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
when they got the go`ahead to build a new stadium. Hounslow Council | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
approved plans for a 20,000 seat venue at Lionel Road. | :23:43. | :23:50. | |
Three youth football teams from Arsenal, Tottenham and West Ham have | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
been chosen to travel to Ypres in Belgium to represent the Premier | :23:55. | :23:56. | |
League and learn about the First World War. Before leaving, the teams | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
have had history lessons about the men from their clubs who fought and | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
died in the Great War. They will visit museums and cemeteries as well | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
as attending a last post ceremony at the Menin Gate. On Sunday, they will | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
also play against other youth teams from Europe. Words cannot describe | :24:13. | :24:23. | |
being able to witness such a monumental event to come together | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
and celebrate by playing football. Football has wrought us together, | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
and it shows what great things it can do. | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
That is all the sport. Now the weather. As far as that | :24:37. | :24:48. | |
flood risk is concerned, it is good news, because the flood risk should | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
be receding over the next few days. But during the next 24 hours, keep | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
an eye on the situation in Essex. It will be a cloudy weekend, but mostly | :25:00. | :25:07. | |
dry. It will probably feel a little less cold than it has felt today. | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
Tonight, the cloud will continue to thicken. If you are out and about | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
overnight, you might feel a few drops of drizzly rain on that | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
breeze. But with all that cloud above us, itch not be as cold as | :25:27. | :25:36. | |
last night. Temperatures are not quite low enough for frost. You will | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
be really unlucky if you have frost on the grass. Tomorrow, although we | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
have quite a bit of cloud, it will brighten up from time to time. | :25:46. | :25:54. | |
Temperatures will not be far off 10 Celsius, 50 Fahrenheit. As soon as | :25:55. | :26:02. | |
it gets dark, the clouds thicken up and once again, tomorrow night, | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
there was likely to be drizzly rain from time to time. Sunday should be | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
dry. The skies will look a bit like that, with temperatures in double | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
figures. We might even make 11 Celsius in London. Next week, not | :26:18. | :26:32. | |
much is changing. The outlook is mostly dry. It will turn cloudy. | :26:33. | :26:42. | |
Temperatures will recover a bit. You might get a bit of frost and for | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
that night. Before we go, a reminder of the | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
day's headlines. There have been tributes from around the world to | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
Nelson Mandela, who has died at the age of 95. The prime minister joined | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
those signing a book of condolence at other figure house in London. The | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
Queen said he had worked tirelessly for the good of his country. | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
Hundreds of Robert Es have been flooded across the east coast of | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
England. A clean`up operation has begun in Boston in Lincolnshire, | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
where flood offences were breached. In Norfolk, a number of properties | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
fell into the sea after a cliff collapsed. And a Royal Marine filmed | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
executing an injured Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan has been | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
given a life sentence for his murder. | :27:28. | :27:28. | |
Sergeant Alexander Blackman was told he will serve at least ten years in | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
risen . That is it for now. I will be back | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
with the latest during the ten o'clock News. From all of us on the | :27:38. | :27:40. | |
team here, good evening. | :27:41. | :27:44. |
