in England and Wales earned more than ?100,000 I so it's

:00:00.:00:00.

in England and Wales earned more so it's goodbye from me, and on BBC

:00:00.:00:00.

One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.

:00:00.:00:12.

Tonight on BBC London News. A warning that the spread of

:00:13.:00:14.

tuberculosis in the capital is reaching epidemic levels, as a

:00:15.:00:17.

strain of the disease becomes resistant to drugs. Unlike the rest

:00:18.:00:22.

of Western Europe, where TB rates have been declining, in the UK they

:00:23.:00:27.

have been increasing almost every year for the last 25 years.

:00:28.:00:30.

There are now calls for compulsory screening for new arrivals to the

:00:31.:00:32.

UK. Also tonight: Fines for thousands of

:00:33.:00:35.

motorists and cyclists. The Met reveals the results of its campaign

:00:36.:00:43.

to make London's roads safer. I'm here in Henley by the River Thames,

:00:44.:00:48.

after the river burst its banks. Although communities along the river

:00:49.:00:52.

are used to flooding, they say they haven't seen anything like this for

:00:53.:00:55.

over a decade. And as the BBC's Stargazing Live

:00:56.:00:58.

returns to our screens, we meet some of those leading the way in space

:00:59.:00:59.

exploration. Good evening and welcome to the

:01:00.:01:13.

programme. London could be on the cusp of a tuberculosis epidemic.

:01:14.:01:16.

That's the warning from health experts tackling a highly infectious

:01:17.:01:19.

form of the disease which has mutated, and is becoming resistant

:01:20.:01:24.

to medication. Around 3,500 Londoners were diagnosed with the

:01:25.:01:28.

disease in the last year. One leading doctor has called for

:01:29.:01:31.

migrants to be screened for TB before they are allowed into the

:01:32.:01:40.

country. Marc Ashdown has the story. For the past two months, 62`year`old

:01:41.:01:48.

Alex has been held in isolation at the University College Hospital. He

:01:49.:01:52.

has a highly infectious mutation of TB which is drug resistant and me,

:01:53.:01:58.

ultimately, prove fatal. It is a very nasty one. They say they have

:01:59.:02:06.

run out of drugs to treat me with. That's how bad it is. Alex has

:02:07.:02:12.

multidrug resistant tuberculosis, which is a disease of the lungs.

:02:13.:02:17.

Occasionally, we are unable to get rid of drug resistant TB from

:02:18.:02:20.

patients because the drugs just do not respond to `` because the

:02:21.:02:26.

bacteria just do not respond to the drugs we have available.

:02:27.:02:30.

In the past year, 3500 Londoners have been diagnosed with the

:02:31.:02:35.

disease. In boroughs like new and evening, infection rates are

:02:36.:02:39.

virtually identical to developing countries like Nigeria and Ghana. In

:02:40.:02:45.

London we are seeing the emergence of drug resistance across the board.

:02:46.:02:50.

One in ten cases are resistant to at least one of the drugs. In fact, the

:02:51.:02:55.

number of TB resistant cases is rising so rapidly, there is concern

:02:56.:03:00.

London's hospitals may soon be unable to cope. Back in the 1960s

:03:01.:03:05.

there were dozens of mobile screening units around London,

:03:06.:03:09.

trying to eradicate TB from our streets. Today this is the only one.

:03:10.:03:15.

It is a very, very busy service. Its green is a very, very busy service.

:03:16.:03:20.

Its greens 10,000 people a need for more. `` it screens. We are

:03:21.:03:24.

struggling to cope. The pathogen is winning. Scientists believe many

:03:25.:03:30.

cases come from abroad. One leading expert says if people were screened

:03:31.:03:37.

before they were allowed into the country, it would not be enough.

:03:38.:03:44.

Some people do not have symptoms but they are at risk of developing

:03:45.:03:49.

full`blown TB. One professor has devised a test that can detect the

:03:50.:03:56.

dormant TB. We asked the Department of Health why the government has

:03:57.:03:59.

failed to control the disease in London. They said:

:04:00.:04:09.

As infection rates rise, there are fears that unless efforts to tackle

:04:10.:04:16.

the disease are stepped up, our city will soon be facing an epidemic of

:04:17.:04:23.

drug resistant TB. How concerned should we be? The vast

:04:24.:04:30.

majority of cases of TB are treatable and curable, but you have

:04:31.:04:34.

to take some quite strong drugs, and once diagnosed, you have to take the

:04:35.:04:38.

full course. That's the problem here, vulnerable people don't always

:04:39.:04:42.

do that, and perhaps spread the disease as well. This new screening

:04:43.:04:47.

test is important in diagnosing latent TB. Many believe that those

:04:48.:04:52.

coming into the country should be screened. This government action in

:04:53.:04:57.

the spring will include some kind of government awareness campaign, to

:04:58.:05:01.

try to do stigmatise the idea of being screened. It is very simple,

:05:02.:05:06.

very effective and very important. The government has to positively

:05:07.:05:09.

engage with people coming into the country to head off what is a

:05:10.:05:12.

growing problem. Thank you. And the full report from Marc is

:05:13.:05:16.

coming up in just under an hour, on Inside Out London here on BBC One at

:05:17.:05:19.

7:30pm. Lots more to come, including...

:05:20.:05:28.

Transport for London says it wants to increase the trend to trash the

:05:29.:05:33.

congestion charge by 15%. I will have all the details and the

:05:34.:05:39.

reaction from motorists. Almost 14,000 fines have been given

:05:40.:05:42.

to both drivers and cyclists as part of a six`week police operation

:05:43.:05:45.

following a series of deaths on the capital's roads. The scheme was

:05:46.:05:50.

launched in November after six cyclists were killed in two weeks.

:05:51.:05:54.

Police say it's already improved safety and will now be extended. Our

:05:55.:05:58.

transport correspondent, Tom Edwards, has the details.

:05:59.:06:10.

Operation Safeway was the Mayor's response to six cycling deaths in a

:06:11.:06:16.

14 day period. It targeted all road users at one six Six Rd junctions to

:06:17.:06:22.

try to get them to bathe the law. `` 160 Six Rd junctions. The Met says

:06:23.:06:30.

it has changed people's behaviour. It hasn't changed my behaviour. Do

:06:31.:06:36.

you think it has changed some cyclists' saviour? May be the more

:06:37.:06:42.

reckless ones. At each junction, you see plenty of police around. You see

:06:43.:06:50.

them riding a lot more proper. Has it had an impact? It is too soon to

:06:51.:07:00.

tell. Offices at junctions gave out just over 13,800 fixed penalty

:07:01.:07:06.

notices. Of those, over 9700 word to motorists. Many were for using a

:07:07.:07:11.

phone while driving. Just over 4000 tickets were given out to cyclist

:07:12.:07:18.

's. Of those, 1200 worth red lights. Part of the upper oration is to give

:07:19.:07:25.

cyclists safety advice on high viz jackets and helmets. `` part of the

:07:26.:07:31.

operation. We noticed changes in behaviour very quickly, and by week

:07:32.:07:35.

four we were not issuing as many fixed penalty notices as

:07:36.:07:40.

previously. Driving this morning, I came along the embankment and

:07:41.:07:44.

cyclists were wearing helmets and high visibility clothing. There have

:07:45.:07:50.

also been 200 arrests for offences like assault and dangerous driving.

:07:51.:07:54.

The operation will now be extended for a week, but the Met says you can

:07:55.:08:05.

expect to see similar in the future. The conversion of the Olympic

:08:06.:08:08.

Stadium into a new sports venue has moved a step closer. The

:08:09.:08:11.

construction firm Balfour Beatty has been awarded a ?154 million contract

:08:12.:08:14.

for the permanent conversion of the stadium. It'll be used for the 2015

:08:15.:08:17.

Rugby World Cup, before becoming the new home of West Ham United in 2016.

:08:18.:08:21.

The work is expected to create 400 jobs.

:08:22.:08:26.

There are plans to increase the congestion charge from ?10 to ?11.50

:08:27.:08:29.

Transport for London is consulting on the 15% rise, saying it would

:08:30.:08:33.

bring in millions of pounds a year, which could be reinvested in the

:08:34.:08:40.

capital's transport infrastructure. But critics argue it's just a

:08:41.:08:43.

money`making exercise. Katharine Carpenter's been looking at the

:08:44.:08:46.

proposals and joins us now from Central London. Last week it was

:08:47.:08:55.

train passengers who found out they were going to have to pay more for

:08:56.:08:59.

their fares. Today it was drivers, who were told they could be paying

:09:00.:09:04.

more to come into Central London. Transport for London says it needs

:09:05.:09:08.

to increase the congestion charge so it remains a deterrent for people

:09:09.:09:12.

driving in the capital, but others have dismissed this as a revenue

:09:13.:09:16.

raising exercise. Looking at the figures, the standard congestion

:09:17.:09:23.

charge is due to go up from ?10 to ?11.50. There would also be a ?1 50

:09:24.:09:29.

increase to ?10 50, and if you forget to pay on the day, there will

:09:30.:09:36.

be an increase to ?14. Transport for London says it hasn't put its prices

:09:37.:09:42.

up since 2011, and it says the ?84 million raised by this over the next

:09:43.:09:47.

few years will be ploughed into improving London's trance bought

:09:48.:09:50.

infrastructure, but drivers were not impressed today. It is outrageous.

:09:51.:09:57.

What do they do with the money they raise from it? The congestion

:09:58.:10:03.

charge, but there is still loads of congestion. Boris Johnson is taking

:10:04.:10:10.

the mix. It has come at the wrong time with the financial situation

:10:11.:10:13.

the way it is. People are struggling to pay their bills. We did want to

:10:14.:10:19.

put some of those points to Transport for London. Despite

:10:20.:10:24.

repeated requests, they wouldn't put anybody up for interview today. We

:10:25.:10:29.

heard from the head of the AA, who said that the congestion charge has

:10:30.:10:32.

nothing to do with congestion and everything to do with cash.

:10:33.:10:36.

Ultimately, the final decision on this will be up to Boris Johnson,

:10:37.:10:40.

when the consultation ends in the middle of March. A survivor of the

:10:41.:10:46.

77 London bombings is calling on other Muslim bombers to protect

:10:47.:10:51.

their children from the threat of online extremists. Sajda Mughal from

:10:52.:10:56.

Haringey was a passenger on one of the two trains attacked by

:10:57.:11:01.

terrorists in July 2005. She believes that educating mothers will

:11:02.:11:05.

help prevent similar tragedies in the future.

:11:06.:11:10.

Dozens of planned terrorist attacks have been thwarted, but some, like

:11:11.:11:16.

the London bombings in 2005, and more recently the murder of a

:11:17.:11:20.

British soldier, have got through. This woman survived the explosion on

:11:21.:11:26.

the Piccadilly line train in which 26 people were killed. Sajda Mughal

:11:27.:11:31.

is the author of a new report into radicalisation on the Internet. She

:11:32.:11:35.

believes mother like herself need to educate themselves on the dangers of

:11:36.:11:40.

online extremism. It could have been prevented, had some of the mothers

:11:41.:11:44.

of the bombers been guided or were assisted in terms of the knowledge

:11:45.:11:47.

and the dialogue they could have got involved in with their sons. Her

:11:48.:11:55.

research of 302 Muslim women in London found that 92% of them were

:11:56.:11:59.

unclear on what online radicalisation meant. Many were

:12:00.:12:04.

under `` 100% were unaware that their children could be radicalised

:12:05.:12:08.

on the Internet. The majority had no idea what the content of pictures on

:12:09.:12:13.

the Internet was. This expert on countering political violence

:12:14.:12:17.

believes it is important parents get involved. To be a suicide bomber,

:12:18.:12:23.

you have to be 100% certain. If you have 10% doubt, that will stop you

:12:24.:12:29.

from doing it. These mothers from Haringey are learning about

:12:30.:12:32.

computers. A six week training programme will start this month on

:12:33.:12:36.

how they can become guardians of the web. These videos do exist online.

:12:37.:12:45.

As opposed to trying to prevent children from looking at these

:12:46.:12:49.

videos, it is possible to get mothers to take this leading role

:12:50.:12:54.

within the family, and just engage with their children. The Internet is

:12:55.:12:58.

not the only tool used to radicalised and recruit the

:12:59.:13:03.

vulnerable. Prisons, universities, mosques and training camps, here and

:13:04.:13:08.

abroad, have played their part. This report is suggesting that parents,

:13:09.:13:13.

and in particular mothers, have an important role in safeguarding their

:13:14.:13:21.

children against extremism. Stilt again: Millwall a former

:13:47.:13:50.

south`west England has been facing the worst of the floods today, and

:13:51.:13:54.

people living along the Thames have also been badly hit by the rising

:13:55.:13:59.

waters this past week. Alex Bushill has spent the day in one Riverside

:14:00.:14:02.

community in Berkshire where they are used to dealing with the effects

:14:03.:14:06.

of flooding, he is on Henley`on`Thames, how is it

:14:07.:14:11.

looking? The rain keeps coming, and there is

:14:12.:14:14.

a little bit of service flooding which you might be able to hear if I

:14:15.:14:19.

splosh about. It is not as bad here as in other parts of the country

:14:20.:14:21.

which have been so battered by storms, but spare a thought for

:14:22.:14:26.

those upstream in the communities by the river who might be used to

:14:27.:14:31.

flooding, but one particular, I caught a lift to a part of the

:14:32.:14:35.

village which resembles more of a swamp.

:14:36.:14:43.

This is what the residents of war grave mean when they say cruise

:14:44.:14:47.

control, driving rain has left properties here deluged in four feet

:14:48.:14:55.

of water. Access is only by the most amphibious vehicles or a pair of

:14:56.:15:02.

trusty waders. The majority of the houses here are adapted to cope with

:15:03.:15:05.

these conditions, the houses are raised on stilts, but for those that

:15:06.:15:09.

are not, this has been a disaster. For the rest of the community, as

:15:10.:15:14.

adaptable as they are, they say it is as bad as anything they can

:15:15.:15:19.

member since 2003, and they are finding improvised ways of getting

:15:20.:15:21.

in and out. This should be a private plane with

:15:22.:15:26.

a concrete drive, not a canoe obstacle course. For these two,

:15:27.:15:31.

enough is enough. Just getting in and out, the currency by getting a

:15:32.:15:37.

little bit dangerous now, you feel like you will get swept over. The

:15:38.:15:40.

last couple of days, they have been coming down at night to get in and

:15:41.:15:46.

out. Not much fun in the dark. Most of the houses are OK inside. But

:15:47.:15:50.

forget 4x4 is, one by one the evidence are evacuating their

:15:51.:15:55.

homes. It is just a case of getting everyone in and out safely, moving

:15:56.:15:59.

the kids out now because they have school tomorrow. We will go to

:16:00.:16:04.

relatives nearby. Others are leaving because of medical needs, albeit

:16:05.:16:09.

reluctantly. I need my toe dressed every day, and I have to come out

:16:10.:16:14.

and stay out until I can get back. How worried are you about this? We

:16:15.:16:19.

are quite happy to be removed for days at a time, we have as much food

:16:20.:16:23.

as we need, and more importantly, I suppose, drinks! A little liquid

:16:24.:16:31.

Courage may be needed. This southern corner of Barger is doing the best

:16:32.:16:34.

it can, but for a community well used to flooding, this is proving a

:16:35.:16:40.

huge challenge, keeping their heads above water. `` Berkshire. I am

:16:41.:16:54.

afraid to say that we have got heavy rain forecast overnight and again

:16:55.:16:59.

tomorrow, but Wendy will have a full weather forecast later in the

:17:00.:17:05.

programme. It might not be the weather.

:17:06.:17:10.

Gazing, but the BBC's Stargazing Live returns to our screens

:17:11.:17:17.

tomorrow. `` not the weather for stargazing. The UK's space sector is

:17:18.:17:21.

thriving, contributing just over ?9 million to the economy, and as

:17:22.:17:27.

Ayshea Buksh reports, some of its leading figures are based here in

:17:28.:17:31.

London and the south`east. This satellite spacecraft is worth

:17:32.:17:35.

nearly ?50 million. It is set to be launched into space next year, and

:17:36.:17:40.

it will be used for monitoring environmental disasters such as

:17:41.:17:43.

floods and earthquakes. Perhaps surprisingly, it is being made at an

:17:44.:17:47.

industrial park on the outskirts of Guildford in Surrey. This is the

:17:48.:17:52.

assembly and testing all were each spacecraft is built and meticulously

:17:53.:17:56.

examined before being launched, and I am wearing this to minimise the

:17:57.:17:59.

impact of dust and dirt on the incredibly sensitive and expensive

:18:00.:18:05.

satellite components. The company employs around 500 people from 26

:18:06.:18:11.

countries. It is part of the UK's burgeoning space industry, and its

:18:12.:18:14.

chief executive believes it will continue to grow in importance. The

:18:15.:18:19.

whole world today revolves around taking full advantage of space

:18:20.:18:23.

assets, and more can be done, the telecommunication systems,

:18:24.:18:25.

navigation systems around the world, and also our ability to be able to

:18:26.:18:30.

do significant signs for the future and expand our knowledge of the

:18:31.:18:35.

human race is dependent on space. I am going to open the Dome now...

:18:36.:18:39.

Professor Richard Nelson is head of the astronomy unit at one of the

:18:40.:18:44.

country's leading research centres, and he believes amateur stargazers

:18:45.:18:48.

are playing a vital role in space exploration. There is an enormous

:18:49.:18:53.

amount of astronomical data generated by ground`based and

:18:54.:18:56.

space`based telescopes, and one of the new things is that the general

:18:57.:19:01.

public can contribute to that by accessing online, using the

:19:02.:19:04.

technology in their own living rooms or bedrooms to actually contribute

:19:05.:19:09.

to scientific discoveries. So weather you are an amateur

:19:10.:19:14.

astronomer or part of a multi`million pound spacecraft

:19:15.:19:16.

company, the sky at night offers a host of opportunities.

:19:17.:19:24.

You can join in exploring the night sky, BBC Stargazing Live starts

:19:25.:19:27.

tomorrow night at eight o'clock over on BBC Two.

:19:28.:19:32.

Now, some sports news, Sara Orchard is here, breaking news in the last

:19:33.:19:35.

15 minutes. I am sorry to say it is not good

:19:36.:19:39.

news if you are an Arsenal England football fan. Anyone who was at the

:19:40.:19:45.

North London derby will remember that Theo Walcott was stretchered

:19:46.:19:48.

off the pitch after he jarred his knee. We have had confirmation from

:19:49.:19:51.

the Arsenal website that it is an anterior cruciate ligament injury,

:19:52.:19:55.

which means he will be out for six months, the best of the Premier

:19:56.:19:59.

League season, and more importantly for the wider fan base, that

:20:00.:20:03.

includes the World Cup in Brazil. Disappointing for him.

:20:04.:20:07.

I get elsewhere Millwall have a new manager.

:20:08.:20:11.

They have been without a manager since Boxing Day when Steve Lomas

:20:12.:20:15.

was sacked. Today they confirmed Ian Holloway will be the new manager, he

:20:16.:20:19.

has signed a two and a half year deal. He stepped down as Crystal

:20:20.:20:23.

Palace manager back in October. It had been confirmed that he will be

:20:24.:20:27.

taking charge of the team when they play Huddersfield Town on Saturday.

:20:28.:20:32.

Millwall is just one place above the Championship relegation zone.

:20:33.:20:36.

West Ham have made a statement about the manager.

:20:37.:20:39.

A lot going on today! We are going to pull on the heartstrings, because

:20:40.:20:45.

this was the picture of a very young fan who was very upset after the

:20:46.:20:48.

West Ham match when they lost 5`0 at the weekend at Nottingham Forest.

:20:49.:20:53.

More on him in a second, but because of the troubles that West Ham are

:20:54.:20:57.

in, the club issued a statement, calling a vote of confidence, saying

:20:58.:21:02.

they are backing Sam Allardyce in an open letter, saying they believe he

:21:03.:21:04.

has the ambition and desire to bring success to the club. These were the

:21:05.:21:09.

thoughts of a former striker. I am sure there will be people saying it

:21:10.:21:13.

is the kiss of death, the dreaded vote of confidence we have seen so

:21:14.:21:16.

many times over the years, but it is important the club backs him. You

:21:17.:21:22.

cannot get a vote of confidence and then lose the next three or four or

:21:23.:21:25.

five games on the trot. It was wrong to backing for the short`term, but

:21:26.:21:30.

it still comes back to what I keep saying, they must get results.

:21:31.:21:34.

There was a result for that little boy I mentioned, off the back of him

:21:35.:21:39.

becoming a bit of a star, he has been invited to join the board of

:21:40.:21:43.

directors at Upton Park for a match of his choosing, hopefully he is a

:21:44.:21:48.

little happier with that. It was not your average music lesson

:21:49.:21:52.

at the Highbury Grove School in North London today, some teenagers

:21:53.:21:54.

who have just started playing a musical instruments got the chance

:21:55.:21:58.

to play in an orchestra with some of the most talented musicians in the

:21:59.:22:01.

country. Sarah Harris went to hear the first performance.

:22:02.:22:08.

OK, see if you can follow the music as they play this through... He's

:22:09.:22:12.

used to conducting some of the most talented young musicians in the

:22:13.:22:16.

country, but today at Highbury Grove School in north London, he was

:22:17.:22:19.

introducing orchestra music to students who have only just started

:22:20.:22:28.

learning an instrument. He chose Katy Perry's Roar, one that most of

:22:29.:22:33.

the teenagers might already know. I like the Katy Perry song, I thought

:22:34.:22:39.

it was a strange choice, because it was pop, but the way they split it

:22:40.:22:45.

up into parts, like violin and cello, I think it was really good.

:22:46.:22:50.

Were you surprised at how good it sounded? I was very surprised,

:22:51.:22:54.

because the whole group came together and worked as a community.

:22:55.:23:01.

Each member of the National Youth Orchestra men told some of the

:23:02.:23:04.

students, taking them through the basics and getting them ready for a

:23:05.:23:09.

recorded performance. It is really rewarding, actually, because you can

:23:10.:23:14.

see that they really want to learn. They just need kind of the impetus

:23:15.:23:18.

from somebody who has got experience with it.

:23:19.:23:23.

Nearly 700 pupils at this school have tuition on a musical

:23:24.:23:26.

instrument, and there are benefits in class according to the teachers.

:23:27.:23:33.

The fact that they have to learn responsibility, they need to

:23:34.:23:36.

practice as part of a group, and if you have not done that, you let the

:23:37.:23:42.

others down. After taking tips from the best, the final performance was

:23:43.:23:49.

one the students could be proud of. Now, let's get a check on the

:23:50.:23:53.

weather with Wendy Hurrell, lots to talk about.

:23:54.:23:58.

Low`pressure system after low`pressure system, we are not out

:23:59.:24:05.

of the woods just yet, yet another weather warning for rain, heavy

:24:06.:24:08.

showers to come through tonight into tomorrow, and then more persistent

:24:09.:24:13.

heavy rain for Tuesday night into Wednesday. We will look at that in a

:24:14.:24:16.

minute. The radar picture shows the rain as it comes through in the

:24:17.:24:21.

showers that we have had. Grouped together in two bands that have been

:24:22.:24:24.

following the flow of the wind direction, as blustery

:24:25.:24:30.

south`westerly, gusting up to 40 mph and falling on saturated ground.

:24:31.:24:36.

This is the Floodline number. All the information you need is, of

:24:37.:24:40.

course, there, and there are still problems at there, as we heard from

:24:41.:24:44.

Alex earlier. There will be further heavy showers overnight, a rumble of

:24:45.:24:49.

thunder, intense downpours on and off through the night. There will be

:24:50.:24:53.

spells when it will be quieter with a bit of a clear sky, but

:24:54.:24:57.

temperatures not falling too far, seven or eight degrees, the wind

:24:58.:25:00.

keeping up, and a suggestion that any early hours there will be heavy

:25:01.:25:04.

showers around including the rush hour period as well. Go carefully on

:25:05.:25:08.

the roads, there will be a fair amount of spray around, I should

:25:09.:25:13.

think. The heaviest of the showers at first, becoming fewer and further

:25:14.:25:16.

between through the afternoon, and slowly you sense that the breeze is

:25:17.:25:20.

easing back as well, but during the showers the winds will be gusting

:25:21.:25:24.

once again. Temperatures on the mild side through this week, 9`11d

:25:25.:25:28.

throughout tomorrow afternoon, but we have got those showers coming

:25:29.:25:31.

through, and they are going to cause problems, possibly more localised

:25:32.:25:36.

flooding. As Will this, this is a problem, a weather front that should

:25:37.:25:40.

be sitting over the continent, but there is a chance that it will push

:25:41.:25:45.

up, another wave coming up on Wednesday into Thursday, persistent

:25:46.:25:48.

and heavy rain on those waves. We do need to watch those. While the

:25:49.:25:53.

outlook is looking quite hopeful, and by day they should be decent

:25:54.:25:56.

spells of sunshine, at night there is A Sting In The Tale if that

:25:57.:26:00.

weather system does pulse up, as we think it will. Wednesday night into

:26:01.:26:04.

Thursday, some rain around, it does start to calm down, and the breeze

:26:05.:26:10.

will be a little bit lighter. We should be drying out a bit as we go

:26:11.:26:14.

through the latter part of the week, also cooling off as well. We have

:26:15.:26:18.

got yet more rain to come, and we will keep you posted, of course.

:26:19.:26:23.

Now for the main news headlines: George Osborne has set out plans for

:26:24.:26:31.

another ?25 billion of spending cuts if the Conservatives win the next

:26:32.:26:34.

election. The Chancellor says that half the proposed savings would come

:26:35.:26:39.

from the welfare budget. Jimmy Savile's victims are calling

:26:40.:26:42.

for a single inquiry into how he managed to evade justice. They claim

:26:43.:26:47.

the current multiple investigations will not answer the key questions

:26:48.:26:51.

about how Savile operated. The Environment Agency is warning

:26:52.:26:55.

that people in Dorset and Oxfordshire should remain prepared

:26:56.:26:58.

for significant flooding and more flooding is expected on the Somerset

:26:59.:27:02.

Levels. And London could be on the cusp of a

:27:03.:27:06.

tuberculosis epidemic, that is the warning from health experts tackling

:27:07.:27:09.

highly infectious form of the disease which has mutated and is

:27:10.:27:14.

becoming resistant to medication. That is it, I will be back later

:27:15.:27:17.

during the ten o'clock news, but from everyone on the team, whatever

:27:18.:27:21.

you are doing, have a lovely evening, bye`bye.

:27:22.:27:54.

TOM: # And if there's anybody left in here

:27:55.:28:14.

# That doesn't want to be out there... #
