and Thursday. That's it. Now we join the news

:00:00.:00:00.

teams where you are. Tonight on BBC London: Could Boris

:00:00.:00:10.

Johnson be heading for a Colmons comeback? The Mayor plays down, but

:00:11.:00:13.

doesn't rule out standing again as an MP at the next election.

:00:14.:00:20.

My job is to be the Mayor of the city and I was very lucky... I was

:00:21.:00:28.

very lucky to get elected in 20 8, even more lucky to get back in in

:00:29.:00:33.

2012. It is the most wonderful job in British politics.

:00:34.:00:36.

The sub`letting scam. Fighthng the fraudsters conning councils out of

:00:37.:00:46.

much`needed homes. A lesson in the capital 's growing population, the

:00:47.:00:50.

secondary schools building for a bigger future.

:00:51.:00:55.

Simply out of this world. Wd talk to the London company that helped

:00:56.:00:58.

Gravity win an Oscar for its visual effects.

:00:59.:01:10.

Good evening and welcome to the programme. Could a Commons comeback

:01:11.:01:15.

be on the cards for Boris Johnson? Speculation around the Mayor's

:01:16.:01:18.

political ambitions have long been the talk of Westminster and now the

:01:19.:01:21.

ongoing saga is back in the headlines. While insisting he is

:01:22.:01:24.

fully committed to serving out his term at City Hall, the Mayor today

:01:25.:01:28.

refused to completely rule out a return to Parliament before the next

:01:29.:01:33.

election. And as our political correspondent Karl Mercer rdports,

:01:34.:01:36.

that could pave the way for a challenge to the Tory leadership.

:01:37.:01:42.

These are delicious! It is national apprentice wdek, air

:01:43.:01:51.

turning his hands to a new role in the hospitality industry. `` the

:01:52.:01:55.

Mayor. It is unlikely this hs where his future lies and stop thd papers

:01:56.:02:00.

have been saying he has his eyes on a bigger prize and talk of rivalries

:02:01.:02:06.

with other Tories is growing. It is claimed David Cameron and Gdorge

:02:07.:02:10.

Osborne want him back as an MP ahead of the next election. The mood music

:02:11.:02:15.

from one of the Chancellor's supporters today was fairly clear. I

:02:16.:02:20.

think Boris is absolutely wonderful and I Inc as he has proved, he is

:02:21.:02:27.

pretty good at everything hd has turned his hands to. `` I think

:02:28.:02:31.

Would you like him on board? Of course, there are so many t`lented

:02:32.:02:36.

people in the Tory party and he is a brilliant communicator.

:02:37.:02:40.

This being Mayor a good apprenticeship for being Prhme

:02:41.:02:44.

Minister? My appetite for power has been cluttered by the experhence of

:02:45.:02:49.

being Mayor, it is the most wonderful job and I am getthng on

:02:50.:02:53.

with that. David Cameron could be elected again

:02:54.:02:58.

in 2015 with you as an MP, will that happen? As I have said so m`ny

:02:59.:03:03.

times, my job is to be Mayor of the city, I was very lucky... I was very

:03:04.:03:10.

to get up `` I was very lucky to get elected in 2008, even more lucky in

:03:11.:03:16.

2012. It is the most wonderful job in British politics. The trtth is,

:03:17.:03:21.

he is picking his words cardfully. He says he will carry on behng Mayor

:03:22.:03:26.

until May 20th 16th but he hs being careful not to rule out comhng back

:03:27.:03:33.

to this place in 2015 `` 2006. This afternoon, he was back in Pdrlman

:03:34.:03:40.

Dutch Parliament temporarilx talking to MPs.

:03:41.:03:44.

`` Parliament. I fully expect to see him back in this place in 2015.

:03:45.:03:49.

There will be plenty of seats for him. If he makes the approach, we do

:03:50.:03:55.

not yet know, but it is verx much a matter of when and not if.

:03:56.:04:00.

There are plenty of people who agree. An equal number of hhs

:04:01.:04:04.

opponents who would rather he stays doing this.

:04:05.:04:08.

And there is a precedent for the being both an MP and the Maxor of

:04:09.:04:12.

London. Yes, when Ken Livingstone bdcame

:04:13.:04:17.

Mayor in 2,000, he was a serving Labour MP and did both roles. The

:04:18.:04:21.

difference was he was coming away from the national stage and Boris

:04:22.:04:25.

clearly wants to get back on it He does not want to be seen to have

:04:26.:04:30.

that naked ambition that cotld alienate those who voted hil in and

:04:31.:04:35.

large parts of the Tory party and MPs who would have to vote him on to

:04:36.:04:38.

be Prime Minister if that wdre to follow. The language is

:04:39.:04:44.

interesting. When you ask that direct question, will you stand in

:04:45.:04:50.

2015, there is no direct answer A lot of, don't worry, I will still be

:04:51.:04:53.

Mayor. That is interesting. What do you

:04:54.:04:58.

think he will do? Not a betting man, but if it was

:04:59.:05:02.

with your money, I suspect he would go for a Parliamentary seat of the

:05:03.:05:07.

2015 election. Thank you very much.

:05:08.:05:11.

Coming up later in the programme: We are with the volunteer floodbusters

:05:12.:05:14.

bringing help and hope to homeowners in Surrey.

:05:15.:05:22.

Later this month, Councils `cross London will launch their latest

:05:23.:05:26.

weapon in the fight against people illegally sub`letting counchl homes.

:05:27.:05:31.

It is believed tens of thousands of London tenancies are being `bused.

:05:32.:05:36.

In one instance, a fraudster was discovered subletting more than 20

:05:37.:05:42.

properties. Mark Jordan has been out with the investigators.

:05:43.:05:49.

We forced entry and it was hn poor condition.

:05:50.:05:53.

They discovered the registered tenant of this flat has rettrned to

:05:54.:05:58.

China and was renting it out and collecting rent from 6,000 liles

:05:59.:06:02.

away. Stuart is one hopeful on the council 's 20,000 waiting lhst as

:06:03.:06:07.

they get to grips with fraud. In Southwark, one of the largest

:06:08.:06:11.

housing fraud investigations is closing. A man conned the council

:06:12.:06:16.

out of 23 properties, the epuivalent of a block that size. For hhs

:06:17.:06:20.

friends, family and those whlling to pay.

:06:21.:06:26.

This man audaciously took a job in Southwark 's homeless housing

:06:27.:06:30.

department with not much more than a photocopier and a lot of front, he

:06:31.:06:36.

created fake identities, fictitious children and he comes the council

:06:37.:06:41.

out of 23 properties. These are the fake documents.

:06:42.:06:43.

He got away with it for years until a beefed up fraud team spotted his

:06:44.:06:50.

will drink are simple technhques. `` his will drink and simpld. These

:06:51.:06:57.

children do not exist. They would have a priority need

:06:58.:07:02.

being pregnant. To get higher on the list?

:07:03.:07:07.

Yes, they would have shown somebody 's income, if they have child

:07:08.:07:12.

benefit, to confirm their address will stop and he printed thdm off

:07:13.:07:14.

himself? Absolutely.

:07:15.:07:18.

He pleaded guilty to misconduct in public office and transparent of

:07:19.:07:23.

public are pretty. This has been a lesson and ht has

:07:24.:07:27.

helped us to tackle fraud. Southwark now has scanners to flag

:07:28.:07:34.

up fake documents. It joins seven other London councils who whll share

:07:35.:07:38.

data to stop fraudsters getting a home in each borough.

:07:39.:07:44.

A fraudster `` a fraudster could run half a dozen social homes. The audit

:07:45.:07:49.

commission estimates English councils have lost control of around

:07:50.:07:52.

100,000 properties. This repossession means Stu`rt s

:07:53.:07:58.

family of four now have a home. A lot of genuine people need places.

:07:59.:08:04.

We live in one room, it is cramped, a lot of arguments, there is Mold,

:08:05.:08:10.

this is like paradise in colparison. You can see the full report on

:08:11.:08:14.

housing fraud on Inside Out London tonight at 7:30 here on BBC One

:08:15.:08:20.

Police say two men who were murdered in Leytonstone at the weekend were

:08:21.:08:24.

ambushed in their car by a group of hooded attackers, carrying knives.

:08:25.:08:27.

21`year`old Aaron Carriere `nd 20`year`old Josiah Manful wdre

:08:28.:08:29.

stabbed several times each hn the early hours of Saturday. Police are

:08:30.:08:35.

now examining CCTV footage to investigate what triggered the

:08:36.:08:41.

attack. What happened in the hours, minutes

:08:42.:08:49.

leading up to this attack? Ht is a key part of my investigation, we

:08:50.:08:52.

need to know if there was an incident that caused these lurders.

:08:53.:08:57.

Where did that happen if thdre was one and anyone with information that

:08:58.:09:01.

nature, come forward and spdak to us.

:09:02.:09:05.

Nearly 70 per cent of children have got into their chosen secondary

:09:06.:09:10.

schools for the next academhc year. There has been a small rise in

:09:11.:09:14.

demand for places is the actte pressure on primary schools begins

:09:15.:09:20.

to filter up words. Demand on secondary schools is expectdd to

:09:21.:09:23.

increase over three years, so what schools doing to make space? Marc

:09:24.:09:28.

Ashdown reports. The secondary school population is

:09:29.:09:33.

growing faster than ever. The cute primary shortages will be fdlt here.

:09:34.:09:37.

Ways are being devised to conjure up extra places.

:09:38.:09:43.

This is our fitness room and a changing room because we do not have

:09:44.:09:47.

enough space. Pupils here then have to be taken elsewhere for physical

:09:48.:09:52.

education. The school has outgrown this

:09:53.:09:55.

Victorian building but they do have a solution. A brand`new ?30 million

:09:56.:10:01.

building nearby. The school will move then in three months and this

:10:02.:10:04.

will be the library and learning resource Centre.

:10:05.:10:09.

`` will move in. Eventually, about 1600 pupils will attend the school

:10:10.:10:15.

which only has about 500. It will ease the pressure on places here in

:10:16.:10:19.

Tower Hamlets and local authorities can no longer open new schools, free

:10:20.:10:23.

schools and academies are expected to plug the gap.

:10:24.:10:28.

The clock is ticking on a blooming crisis but schools do not spring up

:10:29.:10:32.

overnight `` looming. This is year three, we have been

:10:33.:10:41.

able to think ahead and plan. We will be in our new building and

:10:42.:10:44.

getting used to be a environment and it will gradually build up rather

:10:45.:10:49.

than suddenly expanding. The government is increasing good

:10:50.:10:52.

school places by tackling underperformance, opening free

:10:53.:10:56.

schools and academies and allowing good schools to expand. A s`fe

:10:57.:11:01.

funding of ?5 billion is behng invested to achieve that. `` they

:11:02.:11:07.

say. The schools examine evdry inch of space in London, it is rtnning

:11:08.:11:11.

out fast and the problem is only going to get worse.

:11:12.:11:14.

And Marc is here now with more details on this year's figures. And

:11:15.:11:17.

how is the picture looking `cross London?

:11:18.:11:19.

This year, just over 80,000 pupils applied for a place at a London

:11:20.:11:23.

secondary school. That is up by nearly five per cent on last year.

:11:24.:11:27.

The pressure then is starting to shift slowly from primaries to

:11:28.:11:29.

secondaries, as children move through the school system. Now, on

:11:30.:11:38.

their application form, pardnts put down up to six preferred schools,

:11:39.:11:41.

not necessarily in the borotgh where they live. This year, 95% wdre

:11:42.:11:47.

offered one of their six preferences. Of course, everyone

:11:48.:11:50.

wants their top pick. This xear the number getting their wish h`s risen

:11:51.:11:53.

slightly. Across the capital, 6 % got that first choice school. That

:11:54.:11:58.

figure does vary depending on where you live. In Bexley, 80% of pupils

:11:59.:12:02.

were allocated their first choice, that is the highest figure hn

:12:03.:12:05.

London. But in Westminster, it was just 58%. The small number who

:12:06.:12:11.

haven't been offered any of their choices will be given an

:12:12.:12:16.

alternative. And, of course, anyone not happy can appeal.

:12:17.:12:21.

Flooded communities along the Thames are continuing the huge cle`r`up of

:12:22.:12:29.

their homes and streets. Well, one area badly affected was Sunbury in

:12:30.:12:32.

Surrey, and over the next fdw weekends, volunteers will bd giving

:12:33.:12:35.

up their time to try and help repair the damage. Let's find out lore from

:12:36.:12:44.

Gareth Furby, who is in Sunbury We have had rain here but the river

:12:45.:12:50.

level is continuing to fall. Various a watermark here showing how high

:12:51.:12:55.

the river got and you can sde how much it has gone down. But the fact

:12:56.:13:01.

this is happening means that the damage is now being exposed and many

:13:02.:13:04.

people here are just glad they have got volunteers prepared to help them

:13:05.:13:13.

sort it out. Cleaning up in Sunbury, the water

:13:14.:13:16.

has gone but left behind is the mess and the mock.

:13:17.:13:22.

That is river silt but it c`n be contaminated with sewage. I will not

:13:23.:13:26.

bite my nails until I have disinfected them.

:13:27.:13:31.

Martin was in luck at the wdekend because help was on the way.

:13:32.:13:36.

I hope you are ready and determined to start cleaning. They are not The

:13:37.:13:42.

Professionals at locals. Determined to sweep away evhdence of

:13:43.:13:46.

this flood. A lot of it is sewage from the river

:13:47.:13:53.

so we are in protective suits and the guys helping are in white suits

:13:54.:13:56.

for contamination. I can smell the December and. And as

:13:57.:14:03.

well is that smell, Roger, 67 and a diabetic, is saying goodbye to many

:14:04.:14:10.

contaminated keepsakes. Photographs and different pdrsonal

:14:11.:14:14.

stuff. You have to smile. Otherwise, you would be crying.

:14:15.:14:21.

We can smile together. Jane is a former headteacher and David works

:14:22.:14:25.

in an embassy. But now they are mocking in and many people `re

:14:26.:14:30.

grateful. It is nice to help out wherd you

:14:31.:14:36.

can. Marvellous, I have nevdr seen anything like it, they are like a

:14:37.:14:42.

team. Then it was on to work on Martin 's house and to say ht made a

:14:43.:14:49.

difference was an understatdment. I love you guys!

:14:50.:14:55.

The people here are sent from heaven. Some of the damage will take

:14:56.:15:00.

more than volunteers to movd and repair, but in Sunbury, teals will

:15:01.:15:06.

be out and working for at ldast the next three wheel can `` the next

:15:07.:15:10.

three weekends. Volunteers tell us they helped out

:15:11.:15:15.

in 12 properties at the weekend but they now think they may be called to

:15:16.:15:21.

around 150 in the next couple of weeks and they say many of these

:15:22.:15:23.

people did not have full insurance. Charlton's new multimillion`ire

:15:24.:15:34.

owners warns he could sell their best players to his other clubs And

:15:35.:15:38.

we will be looking at the London talent that dominated the bhggest

:15:39.:15:45.

night for the film industry. The Oscars.

:15:46.:15:50.

Two former England football managers have dismissed claims by thd former

:15:51.:15:53.

international defender Sol Campbell that he would have been captain of

:15:54.:15:59.

the England team ` if he was white. The former Arsenal and Tottdnham

:16:00.:16:02.

player made the allegations in his new autobiography, as Sara Orchard

:16:03.:16:06.

reports. This was Sol Campbell's onlx goal in

:16:07.:16:11.

an England shirt, better known for his strong and physical presence on

:16:12.:16:15.

the field, he is now making headlines tackling a differdnt

:16:16.:16:19.

footballing issue, now retired with 73 caps to his name he feels he was

:16:20.:16:23.

overlooked for the England captaincy because he was black. I still

:16:24.:16:27.

believe that I was the wrong colour, I think if I was white I thhnk

:16:28.:16:31.

definitely my chances of behng Captain would have been enh`nced.

:16:32.:16:36.

Campbell played for England between 1996 and 2007. He did wear the

:16:37.:16:41.

Captain's armband three timds but believes he could have been skipper

:16:42.:16:47.

for ten years. My performances for England were fantastic. I h`d the

:16:48.:16:52.

stature, the character, the charisma, but obviously I dhdn't

:16:53.:16:57.

have a huge PR machine behind me. However, Campbell's comments

:16:58.:17:03.

published in his oo biography have been disputed `` autobiography. No

:17:04.:17:09.

one from the Football Assochation gave me an impression that H should

:17:10.:17:14.

have ` should not have given the captaincy to him. Beckham bdcame

:17:15.:17:23.

Captain, a PR strategy, that may not be right but that had nothing to do

:17:24.:17:30.

with Sol's colour. Sven`Gor`n Eriksson also dismissed the

:17:31.:17:31.

comments. Staying with football. With the club

:17:32.:17:45.

currently struggling to avohd relegation ` Charlton fans have now

:17:46.:17:48.

been warned that their best players could be sold to Belgian side

:17:49.:17:51.

Standard Liege. That's becatse the new owner, Roland Duchatelet, owns

:17:52.:17:54.

both clubs, along with several others in Europe. Chris Slegg has

:17:55.:17:57.

been to south London and Belgium to find out more about the man in

:17:58.:18:00.

charge at The Valley. From London to Liege. Charlton are part of a

:18:01.:18:04.

European network of clubs, six takes effectively run by the same man

:18:05.:18:13.

Roland Duchatelet. How do you choose your priority? Between five children

:18:14.:18:17.

what is your priority? They are all your priority. That's the rhght

:18:18.:18:22.

attitude. This is the heart of the network. This is home of St`ndard

:18:23.:18:32.

Liege, currently top of the Belgian League. What happens at the Valley

:18:33.:18:36.

could be influenced by what happens here. They have a successful youth

:18:37.:18:43.

academy, Standard Liege. Thd man who runs it. How do you think your job's

:18:44.:18:47.

going to be affected by this relationship with Charlton? When a

:18:48.:18:52.

good player, not good enough for the first team, and he needs sole

:18:53.:18:58.

experience to get some experience he can do it. He can come also to some

:18:59.:19:13.

others. Among those protesthng this day supporter Didier. Why wdre you

:19:14.:19:20.

angry? Roland started selling our best players and brought in players

:19:21.:19:23.

no one really knew. We belidve he had bought the club to make money.

:19:24.:19:27.

There were demonstrations and an explosion, the fans revolted. There

:19:28.:19:31.

were some protests last sumler. Did you learn from that about bding open

:19:32.:19:37.

and honest with fans? Yes, well that's not always easy and, in fact,

:19:38.:19:42.

that was a mistake I made bx being too direct and too open probably.

:19:43.:19:49.

The network is controversial, yet visionary. Charlton fans will hope

:19:50.:19:57.

it leads to a brighter future. You can see more on that story

:19:58.:20:02.

tonight in the first of a ndw series of Late Kick Off.

:20:03.:20:12.

So last night's Oscars was `lso a great evening for British

:20:13.:20:14.

film`making. And with 12 Ye`rs A Slave and Gravity dominating the

:20:15.:20:17.

awards it was also a showcase for the capital's with home`grown

:20:18.:20:19.

talent, as our entertainment correspondent Brenda Emmanus

:20:20.:20:24.

reports. 12 Years A Slave picked up ` total

:20:25.:20:29.

of three awards, Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best

:20:30.:20:36.

Supporting Actress. Steve McQueen became the first black director to

:20:37.:20:42.

be awarded the academy's top prize. An Oscar win is incredibly hmportant

:20:43.:20:47.

to anybody, to whatever part of the creative process they're in. For

:20:48.:20:51.

somebody like obviously Steve McQueen it's a confirmation about

:20:52.:20:56.

what an important artist he is, an important artist of Britain and the

:20:57.:21:02.

world. The big winner was Gravity. Shot at Pinewood and Shepperton

:21:03.:21:06.

Studios it dominated with sdven awards. The success of Gravhty has

:21:07.:21:10.

been celebrated here in central London by the company that can take

:21:11.:21:15.

much credit for its success. 80 of the film is animation and those

:21:16.:21:19.

incredible special effects were created here by Framestore whose

:21:20.:21:23.

expertise contributed to an amazing night for London film talent. As

:21:24.:21:28.

well as Best Director for Alfonso Cuaron, who has lived in thd capital

:21:29.:21:32.

for over 12 years, the spacd epic won almost all of the technhcal

:21:33.:21:37.

categories including Best Sound Editing, Best Cinematographx and

:21:38.:21:47.

Best Original Score. Like a ballet, I was foiling the chore `` H was

:21:48.:21:52.

following the choreography of the characters. The team have already

:21:53.:21:58.

contributed to the success of the Harry Potter franchise, Avatar.

:21:59.:22:04.

Their Oscar win builds on their international reputation. It's the

:22:05.:22:08.

best calling card they could ever have. It's confirmation that they've

:22:09.:22:13.

got some of the best and brhghtest, not just technicians but visual

:22:14.:22:19.

artists, people who can help great film`makers like Alfonso Cu`ron

:22:20.:22:21.

realise their film`making vhsion and that's what it's all about here I

:22:22.:22:25.

think that's why this city's become so important. So a big night in

:22:26.:22:30.

Hollywood serves to shine the light on home`grown talent.

:22:31.:22:35.

Well, as we heard there the London company responsible for the visual

:22:36.:22:38.

effects of the film Gravity was Framestore. Charles Howell from the

:22:39.:22:43.

company joins me now. Congratulations to you and `ll

:22:44.:22:47.

involved. Your colleagues, we have seen them celebrating in LA, can I

:22:48.:22:51.

ask how are you celebrating here? A few of us were down the road in Soho

:22:52.:22:56.

in a bar watching the awards with a few glasses of champagne. How did it

:22:57.:22:59.

feel when you heard the news? It's wonderful. It's a wonderful

:23:00.:23:04.

acknowledgement of our work over the last three`and`a`half years and our

:23:05.:23:06.

dedication to the project. H know that you have been involved in the

:23:07.:23:09.

project right from the beginning, that's more than three`and```half

:23:10.:23:15.

years. As the visual effects producer you worked closely with the

:23:16.:23:18.

director Alfonso Cuaron who won the Oscar for Best Director. Wh`t was it

:23:19.:23:23.

like working with him? He is a very exacting director. Very precise You

:23:24.:23:28.

can't get anything past him. It was very challenging. He pushed us all

:23:29.:23:31.

the way when we were tired, when we thought we couldn't give anx more.

:23:32.:23:35.

He pushed us and pushed us, which was great. I think it shows in the

:23:36.:23:39.

images. Clearly worth it in the end. When you were making the film or you

:23:40.:23:44.

saw the finished product did you know then this was going to be a key

:23:45.:23:50.

point for cinema in terms of technical advancements becatse

:23:51.:23:53.

that's how it's seen, isn't it? We had a feeling but we weren't

:23:54.:23:57.

entirely sure how the film would be received but we were hopeful because

:23:58.:24:02.

we were innovating, creating new techniques, so we hoped it would

:24:03.:24:07.

have the impact that it's h`d. Aside from the amazing visual effdcts did

:24:08.:24:12.

you meet Sandra or George Clooney? Briefly on set during the shoot but

:24:13.:24:16.

didn't have much to do with them, we leave the actors to Alfonso Cuaron.

:24:17.:24:21.

Is it true that you had an `stronaut on site to explain what really

:24:22.:24:25.

happens? Yeah, we had an astronaut spend about a week with us to advise

:24:26.:24:30.

us and look at the script and offer up suggestions so mainly thd film is

:24:31.:24:35.

scientifically accurate but we are aware we have taken libertids in

:24:36.:24:39.

certain areas. We will ask xou about those another time! Charles, thank

:24:40.:24:43.

you very much and congratul`tions to all involved.

:24:44.:24:50.

Time for a check on the weather How is this week looking? It's looking

:24:51.:24:56.

like spring. We tipped into spring this weekend and I was just saying

:24:57.:25:00.

it was until about ten minutes ago a little bit of light still ldft in

:25:01.:25:03.

the sky so the days are getting longer. Today we did have showers

:25:04.:25:08.

and rain to start with, frol a low pressure system tracking slowly

:25:09.:25:11.

eastwards across the south of the UK. Circulating around that were the

:25:12.:25:14.

showers we had this afternoon. We have had reports of largd

:25:15.:25:23.

hailstones across some parts of the home Counties, so the skies were

:25:24.:25:27.

grey at times but those showers are fizzling out now. Through the middle

:25:28.:25:30.

part of this week there's going to be high pressure building in. We

:25:31.:25:33.

have seen precious little of that as we have gone through the winter

:25:34.:25:37.

That will settle the weather down nicely. This evening and we have one

:25:38.:25:41.

or two showers still around, they're going to fizzle out into thd first

:25:42.:25:45.

part of the night and it will become dry then. Clear skies. Once the

:25:46.:25:49.

windfalls lighter we will also have temperatures down to one or two

:25:50.:25:54.

degrees across the Home Counties. The odd spot below freezing, so

:25:55.:25:57.

every chance of a touch of frost into the first part of tomorrow But

:25:58.:26:01.

despite that chilly start there will be brightness first thing tomorrow.

:26:02.:26:04.

That will continue into the afternoon. Generally, by thd

:26:05.:26:09.

afternoon more cloud in the sky and may also be isolated shower here or

:26:10.:26:18.

there. Mid week, Wednesday when high pressure kicks in so lovely sunshine

:26:19.:26:24.

and temperatures could hit 03 C More cloud Thursday and Friday on

:26:25.:26:27.

the outlook because we will have weak weather fronts going through.

:26:28.:26:30.

It's safe to say it's not looking like such a bad week. Almost like

:26:31.:26:36.

spring. Thank you. The main headlinds:

:26:37.:26:42.

Russian officials have issudd Ukrainian forces with an ultimatum

:26:43.:26:46.

to surrender in Crimea. The deadline is tomorrow morning. If thex fail to

:26:47.:26:49.

comply there'll face what's described as a full`scale mhlitary

:26:50.:27:01.

assault. In South Africa, the trial of Oscar

:27:02.:27:04.

Pistorius has begun. The athlete's accused of murdering his girlfriend,

:27:05.:27:07.

Reeva Steenkamp. He claims he killed his girlfriend by mistake, believing

:27:08.:27:09.

she was an intruder. The long`running saga of thd Mayor's

:27:10.:27:12.

future is back in the headlhnes with Boris Johnson refusing to rtle out a

:27:13.:27:16.

return to Parliament before the next election.

:27:17.:27:17.

You can see more on the day's stories on our website. I whll be

:27:18.:27:20.

back later during the 10.00 news. From all of the team here, thank you

:27:21.:27:23.

for watching and enjoy your evening. Bye.
