The family of a surgeon from Streatham, captured in Syria, call | :00:13. | :00:20. | |
on the government to act. The Foreign Office and William Hague | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
have abandoned my brother, they have left into the walls, the Syrian | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
government. `` him to the wolves. Dr Abbas Khan's brother tells us why | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
he fears the surgeon's life is in real danger. | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
Also tonight: 25 years after the Clapham rail crash, survivors and | :00:40. | :00:41. | |

Child's play. The Mayor goes back to school, to announce more funding for | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
nursery places. Ratty! | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
And, back on stage. Sir Tony Robinson treads the boards in a | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
musical production of The Wind In The Willows. | :01:00. | :01:08. | |
Good evening. A surgeon from south London, | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
imprisoned in Syria, claims he's not only been tortured, but he's also | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
been forced to inflict beatings on others. Dr Abbas Khan, from | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
Streatham, had flown to the Middle East to help with the humanitarian | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
crisis last year. He was arrested within days, but has never been | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
charged with an offence. His family here say they're angry at the UK | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
government's response, saying the Foreign Office have left Dr Khan "to | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
the wolves". Divya Talwar has been looking into what's happened. | :01:39. | :01:51. | |
Doctor Abbas Khan packing medical supplies just before going into | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
Syria last year. He then went into the war`torn city of Aleppo to help | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
civilians caught up in the conflict. He was arrested within hours by the | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
Syrian regime. His family in Britain lost all contact with him to six | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
months. Doctor Khan's mother left the South London family home to | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
track down her son in Syria. She managed to find him in prison in | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
Damascus, weighing just five stone, barely able to walk. When my mother | :02:21. | :02:31. | |
first found him, he was very depressed. He said he had suicidal | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
thoughts. He felt very lost and alone which I am sure he would. It | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
is a real possibility, a real possibility he may harm himself. The | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
BBC has seen copies of two letters Doctor Khan gave his mother to pass | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
to William Hague. In the first, he describes his torture in custody: | :02:49. | :02:58. | |
In his most recent letter can he describes his declining mental | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
health full the family say they have made | :03:02. | :03:10. | |
repeated requests to discuss the case directly with William Hague. | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
But have yet to meet him. We are very disappointed in his reaction. | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
If the Foreign Office and William Hague... They have abandoned him. | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
In response, the Foreign Office said: | :03:25. | :03:40. | |
Doctor Khan is still being held without charge, and the family are | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
trying to stay hopeful he will still be able to return to his wife and | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
young children. With me is Dr Afroze Khan, Dr Khan's | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
brother. With the greatest respect, Dr Khan | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
would have known the risks attached with going out to Syria. He is | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
accused of entering the country without a visa. | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
The Syrian government isn't giving any visas into the areas which | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
require medical help. He decided to go anywhere. | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
He is a doctor. He was on the border regions treating people. He was told | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
with news coming across there was a shortage of doctors. Did he have | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
your support when he went, without a visa? I did not know at the time. If | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
I was in his position and I had the skills available to help people who | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
are just across the border, then I would think the same, I can do a | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
small procedure and save someone's life. That is the thinking we had `` | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
which would have gone through his head. We have heard the dangers he | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
is in perhaps because of depression. How great is that risks | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
to his life? A great risk. He has been in detention for over 12 | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
months. No charges have been levelled against him. He does not | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
know when he will be released. He has told us in letters and through | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
communication with my mother when she has met him that he has had | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
suicidal thoughts. There is a real possibility he may harm himself. You | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
are critical of the British government who have cut off | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
diplomatic ties with Syria. What do you expect them to do? | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
I know there is no direct diplomatic relations with the Syrian | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
government. But other governments like the Germans, Italians and | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
French, have had better dozens released very quickly, and have | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
expedited that released through diplomatic pressure at the highest | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
level. The British government is using a piecemeal and lethargic | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
approach to my brother's case. Which is why he is still there. | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
Stay with us this evening, as there's plenty more to come, | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
including: Planning permission denied. | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
A London academy has failed in its bid to build a boarding school in | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
the South Downs for deprived pupils from the capital. | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
It's 25 years since the Clapham rail crash which left 35 people dead, and | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
hundreds injured. It happened during the morning rush hour when a | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
commuter train ploughed into the back of another. Today, survivors, | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
and those who'd lost loved ones, came together for a memorial service | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
to pay tribute to those who died. Sonja Jessup's report starts with a | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
reminder of how news of the crash was broadcast on the BBC. | :06:50. | :06:57. | |
Just after 8am this morning, as the rush hour in London was at its peak, | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
two commuter trains carrying more than 1000 passengers collided. 36 | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
people are now known... All hell was let loose. It was like | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
being in the washing machine, being spun round and around. Lee Middleton | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
was in the front courage of the train which ploughed into the back | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
of the 7:18am to Waterloo. The people sitting behind him and in | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
front of him were killed. I was pinned to the bottom of the carriage | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
with a big iron bar which came across and pinned me down. I | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
thought, it's curtains now. He was pulled from the wreckage by fire | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
fighters. 35 others died. So long as we live, they too shall live. Today, | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
survivors and families who lost loved ones gathered to remember | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
them. 25 years have passed, but for many the anniversary is still | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
painful. Sometimes, it is helpful, sometimes | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
it is not. We thought we would do the big one. Sorry. Nicola lost her | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
uncle. I heard there was a train crash. As I found and spoke to my | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
dad, he said Ray was on it and we were waiting to hear. It took two | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
days for us to find out they had found him and he was dead. It was an | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
eerie silence in the scene. People were trapped between | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
carriages, seating, penned in. Passenger Marilynne Robinson was in | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
such shock, she got out of the train and went to work. It was only later | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
when a policeman told what had happened, that it finally sank in. | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
He walked up to me and said I looked dishevelled. I said I needed a | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
copy, I had been in a train crash. He said the one where the people | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
died. I collapsed. I couldn't walk. The official accident report found | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
faulty wiring was to blame, a rail worker had one day off in 13 weeks. | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
93 recommendations were made, including a limit on working hours. | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
An awful lot has changed since that tragedy, with the signalling has | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
done, the training of staff. It is now the safest railway in | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
Europe. By any measure. We are not complacent, there is more we still | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
want to do. So many here, today was not about blame, but remembering | :09:27. | :09:27. | |
those they had lost. The clap and well crashed 25 years | :09:28. | :09:42. | |
ago today. `` the Clapham rail crash. | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
Two men have appeared in court, after heroin worth ?40 million was | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
found in a Jaguar, in Romford. Detectives from the National Crime | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
Agency say nearly 200 kilograms of the drug was hidden inside the car's | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
bumpers, wheel arches and dashboard. 32`year`old Noman Qureshi from | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
Bradford, and 34`year`old Israr Khan from Luton, have been charged with | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
conspiracy to supply heroin. The average London salary fell by | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
more than 2% last year, to ?41,500. While salaries in the country as a | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
whole rose by 0.5%. But the figures from the Office of National | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
Statistics show Londoners are still out`earning the rest of England. The | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
average wage across the country is ?27,000. | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
Several London boroughs have the best performing primary schools in | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
the country, according to the latest exam results. The performance is | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
measured on new literacy and numeracy targets set by the | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
government. Over 60% of ten and 11`year`olds achieved average or | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
above`average scores in every borough, except in Enfield, Waltham | :10:34. | :10:34. | |
Forest and Barking and Dagenham. Many parents find it difficult to | :10:35. | :10:46. | |
get childcare in London because of the huge expense involved. The | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
result: We have fewer working mothers in the capital than anywhere | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
else in the country. So, to help create more spaces for children at | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
nursery, which could help with childcare, every London borough is | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
being given ?250,000. But will that be enough to make a difference? | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
Helen Drew reports. Playtime in Peckham before getting | :11:07. | :11:19. | |
down to business and announcing funding for London councils to | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
increase nursery places. Three and four`year`olds get 15 hours free | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
childcare week. But, at the moment, that doesn't always help parents. | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
Half of London childcare places are in schools which mean they are often | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
only open 9am to 3pm. If you work, those hours just aren't long enough. | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
The new funding from the Department for Education is designed to help. | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
We want more to open from 8am until 6pm so parents can pay for extra | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
hours or take their 15 hours free in more convenient time slots, maybe | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
over three days so it can be combined with a part`time job. It | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
will help because I am a working mum. 9am to 5pm. It makes it highly | :12:05. | :12:12. | |
to pick up the kids later. It is about time, to invest in education. | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
Now I have to finish work at 2pm to pick them up. If they finish at 6pm, | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
I can finish at 5pm. That would be brilliant, I love the idea. It is | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
however only a one off amount of ?8 million. It won't replace the | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
funding which has been lost since 2010 in cuts to the local authority. | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
In London, families have some of the highest childcare costs in the | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
world. Compared to elsewhere in the UK, many families don't have | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
extended families because they have moved from within the UK `` UK or | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
overseas. It sounds like a drop in the adoption `` ocean. It is a | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
recognition of the problem. Women want to be able to work but can't | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
find the child care they need. It is a crucial stumbling block for the | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
London economy. The government is changing free childcare next year to | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
incorporate even more to`year`olds from low income families. While | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
critics welcomed the funding, they say London's problems with nursery | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
places is likely to get worse. A south London academy has failed in | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
its bid to build a boarding school in the South Downs for deprived | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
pupils from the capital. The Durand Academy had planned to bus teenagers | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
from Lambeth to the school near Chichester. The idea had government | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
backing, with ministers saying it was "innovative". But the South | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
Downs National Parks Authority today refused to grant planning | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
permission. Chris Rogers has been following the story, and joins me | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
now. This isn't just a set`back for one school, this is a set`back for | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
the government? That is right, a big setback for a | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
very big scheme by the government. They are offering to invest in any | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
solid business plan that is school comes up with that can provide the | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
kind of education children from deprived that grounds can only dream | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
of. Durand Academy wanted to build Britain's first free boarding school | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
in a beautiful 25 acre site in Sussex in a national park. Paid for | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
by the profits of the school is already very successful private | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
enterprise with an additional ?70 million from the Department of | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
education. They would take 600 pupils there every week and back at | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
the weekend. Planning application was turned down today mainly over | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
concerns over the impact on the local environment. Planning officers | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
said there was a fine balance between that and the improvements to | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
buildings already on site, and opportunity for a brilliant | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
education for those pupils. There have been other concerns. We have | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
reported on a letter written by MP Margaret Hodge claiming the | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
government hadn't asked enough questions about the Academy | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
proposals. She wrote to the National audit office which looked at the | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
proposal and discovered they haven't looked at the long`term running | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
costs of the Academy. This is what the executive head of the Academy | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
told us at the time. We have been working hard with the | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
Department for months now, we were asked to look at our figures. We | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
have done it time and again. We feel we have a seven year projection | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
which is really strong. A comment earlier this year, what | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
has the reaction been from school and government today? Michael Gove | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
publicly supported this proposal and even visited the school in Lambeth | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
and met some of the pupils who would benefit. Even wrote to the planning | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
officers giving support to the scheme. A bizarre one sentence | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
statement from the Department of education saying, we continue to | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
support this initiative which would provide a unique educational | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
opportunity for inner`city children. The Academy said it remains their | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
firm intention to proceed with the project, but considering all the | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
options available. There is more to come, including, we | :16:11. | :16:21. | |
meet Matilda, she is full of water, barley and yeast. She is rather hot | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
and is the latest addition to London's distillery scene. It's the | :16:27. | :16:35. | |
first night of The Wind in the Willows. I'm in it, and I'll tell | :16:36. | :16:43. | |
you all about it in a bit. They're the only one of London's top`flight | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
teams never to have won a rugby union's Premiership, but new owners | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
took charge of London Irish today saying they hope to turn the club | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
into one of the most successful in Europe. Their arrival was marked by | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
the signing of a leading player and talk of a possible move to a new | :17:00. | :17:08. | |
stadium. The team in emerald green where Connor oh Shah once ran in the | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
tries and Clive Woodward took some of his first steps in coaching. This | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
is the spiritual home of London Irish. # Today, is all about trying | :17:19. | :17:25. | |
to build a brighter future rather than looking back at the past. We | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
are passionate London Irish supporters. We are making this | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
investment on the basis of a strong business case. These men lead the | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
consortium which now owns London Irish. They have already made their | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
presence felt today, much to the delight of the Director of Rugby | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
Brian, Smith with the signing of a World Cup winner. He is a big man, | :17:50. | :17:57. | |
he can play tighthead and lose head. It's very significant day. We are | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
delighted and excited about the future. Heading the consortium is | :18:01. | :18:08. | |
Mick Cossan Chairman of the company that has sponsor London Irish for | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
the last three years. We want to bring the club back to the top of | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
the rugby world and take the branding globally around the world. | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
That's what London Irish will be to us. Is it just a coincidence this | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
takeover happened a week after Brentford got planning permission | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
for their new stadium. Will you have talks about them about a possible | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
ground share? I think everyone is allegedly speaking to Brentford. We | :18:41. | :18:49. | |
are contracted to the stadium to 2 2020`2025 season. With all the | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
support we have, the people around us, the people that we want to bring | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
with us on this, it will be a fabulous journey. Big plans and bold | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
ambitions to bring the team nicknamed the exiles back in from | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
the cold. Gin has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity recently | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
partly helped by the change in the law which has allowed London 's | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
micro distillers to supply pubs an bars across the capital. A company | :19:24. | :19:32. | |
in Battersea has decided to bring another spirit back to the capital, | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
whiskey. It hasn't been produced here for more than 100 years, well, | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
that was the case until this morning. At 7.00 am this still | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
produced London's first drop of whiskey in more than a century. We | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
are looking for a little bit of fruitiness. We want to see the | :19:51. | :19:57. | |
potent stuff subsiding and clean out. We are looking for the malt, a | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
little bit of chocolate, orange. This is the only distillery in the | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
capital to be awarded a license to make spirits, unlike the | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
manufacturer of gin, which involves adding flavour to alcohol, whiskey | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
has to be made from scratch. This is mill barley, we feed it in, the | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
barley drops in while we feed in hot water. The hot water extracts the | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
sugars from the barley. We run the barley hot water mixture over to our | :20:26. | :20:33. | |
fermenters. We add yeast. We transfer from there to Matilda our | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
whis ski still and we end up with the spirit. Has enjoyed a recent | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
surge in the number of micro`distillers. The question is, | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
how good are the products? I would say the quality which we are getting | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
from the small distillers these days is extremely high. The people who | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
are setting them up have done their research. They have studied and read | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
the books, asked experience distillers what to do. The knowledge | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
of making great spirits is out there. Today's little moment of | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
excitement was just the beginning of a waiting game. This has to age in a | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
barrel where it will get its golden colour, by the way. It will be | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
Christmas 2016 before anyone gets to taste it. What a year it has been | :21:20. | :21:29. | |
for the man who became famous for playing Blackadder's dogsbody, | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
Baldrick. Tony Robinson was knighted in the Queen Queen's Birthday | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
Honours list, now Sir Tony has decided to leave television for a | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
while to try the London stage for the first time in years. What made | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
him want to do it? It's a production of The Wind in the Willows. Here | :21:48. | :21:58. | |
comes Rattie. Rattie and friend in the much`loved production of The | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
Wind in the Willows. This time out of its usual home and onto the | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
Duchess Theatre Stage for its first commercial transfer. Tony Robinson | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
steps into the role of the author, Kenneth Graham. Is it a tale you | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
have had personal relationship with, that you have much loved? I won an | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
award from the ducks ditty that comes from The Wind in the Willows, | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
I was 10. I had read the book by then. When I left drama school it | :22:29. | :22:37. | |
was about the same play I was in. `` the first play I was ever in. It | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
keeps coming back to me. Long successful television career has | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
meant the role of narrator is the first time for Tony treading the | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
boards for 16 years. I was surrounded by theatre. My parents | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
and my grandparents generation were terribly influenced, not just by | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
straight theatre, but by music hall. There wasn't a great divide in those | :23:03. | :23:11. | |
days, they would see everything. His much`loved character, Baldrick, in | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
Blackadder, is one of many career successes that contributed to the | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
actor receiving a knighthood in the Queen's Birthday Honours this year. | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
First of all, we didn't know it was going to be the success it was. It | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
could have been another of those shows that you put your heart into | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
and nobody watches. What was different was the calibre of people | :23:31. | :23:38. | |
I was working with. Nobody knew who Stephen Fry or the rest of them were | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
in those days. I was working with people at the top of their game. | :23:43. | :23:53. | |
Tony's popularity in the West End theatre transfer is hoping to bring | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
in new audiences. Before the weather, a message for our many | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
viewers in Surrey. From today you can tune into your local radio | :24:05. | :24:10. | |

weather: There is milder weather on the way. It hasn't arrived quite | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
yet, a chill evening. It's foggy too across parts of Essex, Kent and | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
Sussex. It's no surprise to find that that is where the lowest | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
temperatures are at the moment, just to the east and to the south of | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
London. Temperatures will rise tonight, the fog will disappear as | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
the breeze freshens, the cloud will thicken up with rain moving in from | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
the west by dawn. Temperatures will start at around five Celsius, we | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
will end the night with temperatures not far away from 10 degrees. The | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
milder weather will move in towards us over night tonight. It will bring | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
rain. You can expect wet weather during the morning. It will be with | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
us for the early rush. We should see things drying up and brightening up | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
from around about late morning. Lunchtime, that is when temperatures | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
are likely to pop`up to a mild 11`12 Celsius. Having said that there is a | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
another spot of rain heading in towards the afternoon that will be | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
with us for the evening rush. The rain should clear away tomorrow | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
night. The skies will clear and the breeze will ease a touch. The for | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
some of us, it will get cold enough for a touch of frost on the grass on | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
Saturday morning. Saturday, a dry day, a good deal of sunshine to look | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
forward to for the start of the weekend. More rain heading our way | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
on Saturday night. That should clear away quite quickly on Sunday | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
morning. However, it is going to leave quite a lot of cloud around. | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
Sunday will be a cloudier day than Saturday. Some rain coming our way, | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
bringing us milder weather by day, but still cold enough for a touch of | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
frost on the grass at night. Thank you. Before we go, let us have a | :26:34. | :26:40. | |
reminder of the main news headlines: Bond Aviation, the company which | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
operated the helicopter that crashed into a pub in Glasgow nearly a | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
fortnight ago has temporarily grounded 22 aircraft of the same | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
model in the UK. The judge in the trial of two former personal | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
assistance of Nigella Lawson and Charles Saatchi has told jurors to | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
ignore complimentary remarks made about the TV cook made by David | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
Cameron. The Prime Minister's office won't comment on the judge's | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
remarks. A surgeon from south London, imprisoned in Syria, claims | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
he is not only being tortured, but has been forced to beat others. Dr | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
Abbas Khan from Streatham flew to the area to help with the | :27:19. | :27:21. | |
humanitarian crisis, despite being arrested he has never been charged. | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
25 years since the Clapham rail crash which left 35 people dead and | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
hundreds injured. Today, survivors and those who lost loved ones came | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
together for a memorial service to pay tribute to those who died. That | :27:36. | :27:41. | |
is it. I hope you can join me during the 10.00pm news on BBC One, good | :27:42. | :27:43. | |
night. | :27:44. | :27:47. |
