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 | :13:22. | :13:26. | |

And a music lesson with a difference, the is linking students | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
get in a visit from the National Youth Orchestra. `` the Islington | :13:39. | :13:46. | |

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. | |

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. | |

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. | |

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... # | :28:15. | :28:18. |
