Now the BBC's nude teens where you are. Goodbye. `` news teams. | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Tonight, on BBC London News. Tributes are paid from across the | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
political spectrum to Bob Crow, the controversial union leader who died | :00:22. | :00:30. | |
at the age of 52 of the. We look at Bob Crow's legacy for London. Also | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
tonight. A police officer who repeatedly punched a suspected | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
shoplifter is given a community sentence. Children in the capital | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
are eating too much salt. Research shows much of it comes from bread | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
and kcereal. The only place in Britain you can get a degree in | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
circus skills. Good evening. Tributes have been | :00:53. | :01:11. | |
paid from across the political spectrum to Bob Crow, the leader of | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
the RMT union who died suddenly this morning at the age of 52. The | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
combative figure polarised opinion, some saw him as a passionate leader | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
who fought effectively for his members' welfare and rights, others | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
as a left`wing radical who too often tried to bring London to a halt | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
through strikes on the Tube. Let's go live to our transport | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
correspondent, Tom Edwards who is at the RMT headquarters in Euston. Tom. | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
Yes. Flowers have been left here outside the door at the | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
headquarters. These offices have been shut for most of the day. The | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
news came through at about 10.00am. When it did, it was a huge shock. | :01:50. | :01:57. | |
Outside the union headquarters the news hit hard. It's believed the | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
RMT's general secretary, Bob Crow, died of a heart attack this morning. | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
Bob's death leaves a massive gap in the lives of everyone who was | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
fortunate enough to know him and represents a huge loss to the trade | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
union and labour movement, both in this country and internationally. | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
Specifically, for the RMT members Bob left with stun `` led with | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
stunning success. At Covent Garden, Tube workers paid their respects. He | :02:26. | :02:33. | |
did a lot for our staff and got us a lot of benefits and things, pay wise | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
whatever. One of them things. This is what he was most well`known for. | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
Bob Crow started on the Tube at the age of 16. An East Londoner, he rose | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
quickly through the union ranks. We are staying out until we get the | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
just deal these people deserve. The successful candidate was Bob Crow. | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
By 2002 he had worked up to general secretary of the RMT. I'm proud and | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
privileged to have fought side by side with Bob Crow. You hoe know he | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
was respected by employers and loved by his members. Because he always | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
did what he could to get the best possible deal Del for them. A very | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
shrewd negotiator. Someone it will be frankly difficult to replace. Bob | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
Crow used strikes to defend his member's pay and conditions. Most | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
recently, his union walked out over ticket office closures. This is what | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
passeners injuries made of the news. Sometimes he made me angry. Then | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
other times you think, here is somebody who actually sort of is | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
passionate about what they believe in. Very sad. I think he helped his | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
workers and I think he was a very good union representative. He may | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
have done it in ways that people didn't like, that was his way. I'm | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
sorry Bob, there is a table to be sat round by you and your team. We | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
can't do it while you put a gun to your head. You are putting a gun... | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
A few weeks ago he clashed with the Mayor Boris Johnson, he was | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
criticised by some media. Even if they disagreed with the strikes, | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
transport bosses and Mayors respected him. What I admired was | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
his defence of what he thought of as his members' views. His members' | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
interests. Bob Crow fought and his redcressor, they had a fight to say | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
you will not run the Tube by a breaking the backs of our people. | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
They will have a decent wage and pension. I wish that had happened | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
for all the working`class jobs that had been squeezed. Commentators say | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
he was a shrewd operator. Although he was divisive. He knew just how to | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
use the muscle the union had, particularly in a city where it | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
depends so much on the Underground. He knew exactly how to use the | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
threat of strikes in order to get endlessly improved terms and | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
conditions. We are making it quite clear that the dispute have just | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
seen in London will be like a vacar's tea party if they attempt... | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
In a recent interview he was typically unapologetic about | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
objecting to driveless Tube trains. Today even his opponents called him | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
"a fighter and a man of character." Joining me now is transport | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
commentator, Christian Wolmar, who is seeking to be Labour's candidate | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
for the next Mayoral elections. Welcome to you. Most people would | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
know him as the face of Tube strikes in London. How did you see him and | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
remember him I think he was a very canny negotiator. He represented his | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
members' interests, as Boris Johnson said. And, he was much more than the | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
kind of firebrand bully boy that is being presented. He is charming. He | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
was, above all, very clever at m nip lating the media. Do you think he | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
was perhaps too good a negotiator. He heard the endless strikes, | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
holding Londoners to ransom Assad some would see it? There wasn't that | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
many strikes. He galvanised his members so they supported a ballot | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
for industrial action. There were very few strikes at the end of it. | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
He was a good negotiator. If he sometimes did too well, that wasn't | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
his fault. It was the fault of managers on the other side of the | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
table too ready to give in to him. To those who don't know the figure | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
or the name back crow, what is his legacy for London, do you think? I | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
think he will be a hard act to follow. Basically, he was seen, | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
interestingly enough, by Transport for London as relatively moderate. | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
And, I think the problem will be that ` People will be surprised to | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
hear that? People will be surprised to hear that. The unions mighting | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
throw up someone who is more ready to go on strike. Bob could cut a | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
deal. That was something said to me by someone inside Transport for | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
London. That is a danger that perhaps the person who succeeds him | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
would be more extreme? Absolutely. And, what ` what has to happen is | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
that the managers at Transport for London must have the strength to | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
stand up to that and not kind of allow themselves to be bullied. On | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
the other hand, the union needs somebody like Bob who represents the | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
members. Something that we heard a lot of today, we heard Tom Edwards | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
mention it there, people didn't always agree with him, certainly, | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
they did respect him? Everybody respected him. Indeed, everybody | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
liked him. There are hypocritical right`wing commentators saying what | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
aened on the other handerful chap he is. Most people who came across him | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
thought he was a charming guy, a nice guy, and genuine. Let's not | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
forget of course our thoughts are today with his family and friends. | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
Christian Wolmar, thank you very much for joining us. Thank you. | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
Absolutely. Plenty more ahead tonight. Including: In Europe to | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
attract foreign investors. Is the Mayor fuelling the capital's | :08:03. | :08:03. | |
property boom? Children in the capital are risking | :08:04. | :08:16. | |
heart problems and strokes in later life by eating too much salt ha is | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
what a study of around 300 youngsters in London has found. | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
Researchers at Queen Mary University are saying children are eating an | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
unhealthy amount of salt on a daily basis much comelinging from `` | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
coming from breads and cereals. Ed held up as the most important meal | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
of the day. Not one you would think of adding salt to. Researchers have | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
found there is plenty already lurking in Sophie's rice puffs and | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
toast. We try to limit the amount of salt in the food that we prepare | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
yourselves. `` ourselves. When we are buying ready processed foods in, | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
to discover they have more salt than we would put in our food if we made | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
the food ourself`, comes as a a shock. What if after breakfast | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
Sophie had a sandwich for lunch, two more pieces of bread then maybe | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
sausages and beans for tea. About eight to nine grams a day, which is | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
way above what a child of that age should be eating. That's six grams. | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
That is the maximum amount anned a ument should `` adult should eat in | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
the day. It was found that 70% ate more than | :09:30. | :09:39. | |
the recommended amount. Teenagers were the worst offenders, consuming | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
7.6 grams a day. The study found that a third of children salts came | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
from bread, or breakfast cereals. If we can get children to not each so | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
much salt, if you fewer of them will go on in later life to develop high | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
blood pressure and won't need to take drugs or die from a stroke or | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
heart attack unnecessarily. They are unnecessary causes of death. We can | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
prevent them. How do we stop our children from getting so much salt? | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
What do we feed them instead? The researchers say the only way to | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
escape from this hidden salt is to avoid packaged foods, stop eating | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
out, and prepare all meals from scratch using fresh, raw | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
ingredients. Not an easy task. So the pressure is on the food | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
companies to get rid of the salt. They say they are cutting the amount | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
in many of their products, but for now it's up to the parents to | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
monitor what goes into the lunchboxes. A policeman who | :10:36. | :10:43. | |
assaulted a suspected shoplifter repeatedly punching her in the head, | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
has been sentenced to a community order. The officer was caught on | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
camera assaulting the woman at a store on Regent Street. Sonja Jessup | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
joins us from Westminster Magistrates' Court. What other | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
details do you have? Well, this all happened at the Uniqlo store on | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
Regent Street. November 2012, PC James Kiddie had been called there | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
after a security guard stopped a suspected shoplifter. A 30`year`old | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
woman called Sarah Reed. Kidd told the court she snarled at him and | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
bitten imhad on the finger and claimed she had the AIDS virus. The | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
court was shown CCTV pictures. They show him talking to her, everything | :11:26. | :11:33. | |
calm. He grabs her. He grabs her by the hair. Pulls her to the floor and | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
punches her several time in the head. He leans on her neck until the | :11:38. | :11:49. | |
backup arrives. He sentenced to 150 hour community order. What did the | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
judge said? She accepted that Sarah Reed had been difficult and | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
aggressive. The court was told she was a drug addict and later | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
convicted of shoplifting. Judge Roscoe said she understood his | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
reactions were: As a Kidd has been ordered to pay more | :12:06. | :12:17. | |
than ?500 in costs. He has been suspended from the Met. Todayer. The | :12:18. | :12:26. | |
Commissioner said, there is no place in the Met for officers who do not | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
uphold our values. Many thanks. The brother of a man from Crawley, | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
thought to be Britain's first suicide bomber, in Syria, has spoken | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
exclusively to the BBC describing his brother as "a hero." Abdul | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
Waheed Majid hasn't been seen since a lorry packed with explosives was | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
driven into a Syrian jail last month. His brother says he made the | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
ultimate sacrifice to save the Syrian people. | :12:53. | :13:00. | |
His journey began in Crawley but it ended thousands of miles away when | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
he got behind the wheel of this truck and became the first British | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
person to carry out a suicide arming in Syria. Now his brother has spoken | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
exclusively to the BBC. He said his family believe that Majeed was | :13:17. | :13:27. | |
trying to release prisoners. My brother was not a terrorist but a | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
hero. He made the ultimate sacrifice to save the Syrian people. This `` | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
suicide attack happened over a month ago. Majeed was named a few days | :13:38. | :13:46. | |
later. Then a few days later the Sussex MP took to the floor of the | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
House of Commons asking what was being done to tackle radicalisation | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
in places like Crawley. We need to go beyond the strategy so far to try | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
and tackle extremism and we need to support communities better to | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
identify where people may be at risk of radicalisation. So did a man with | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
a steady job become radicalised? As a younger man, he had attended talks | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
by a banned group. Its leader claimed Majeed regularly drove him | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
to meetings in Crawley. Some of the men in that circle were later | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
convicted in a massive MI5 and police operation which thwarted plot | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
to blow up targets including Bluewater shopping centre in Kent. | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
Majeed was never implicated in that plot. They say he had left the group | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
behind but is actions in Syria have triggered alarm back home. There has | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
been its reaction the brothers' `` the brother's claims in Crawley. | :14:49. | :14:56. | |
Probably in his mind he was a hero and another people's it wasn't. His | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
family say they are still trying to come to terms with his death. My | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
brother was not a terrorist. He was a hero. He was not a threat to the | :15:07. | :15:15. | |
British public and never has been. You can see more on that report on | :15:16. | :15:27. | |
Newsnight tonight at 10.30. Now we heard Boris Johnson paying | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
tribute to Bob Crow earlier. The Mayor was speaking to us in Cannes, | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
where he's attending Europe's largest property fair to attract | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
foreign investors. His opponents claim he's fuelling the capital's | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
housing bubble. But Boris Johnson says he's struck a deal with | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
developers which is good for Londoners. Our political editor, Tim | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
Donovan, sent this report. It is where developers meet | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
investors on the French Riviera and where some come because they are | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
interested in buying a bit of London. The man accepted today that | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
foreign buyers may have pushed prices to higher in some prime | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
locations though not, he said, in the capital as a whole. And he | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
brought news that about 60 developers had agreed not to market | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
properties abroad first in future. They will stop any practice of | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
marketing homes abroad in advance and they will suggest all such homes | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
should be offered first or at least simultaneously with the home market. | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
Critics said it was hardly more than a gesture and some property experts | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
here wondered whether it might drive investment away. We need to be | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
careful. The overseas market is an important part of London developers. | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
Without that we might see issues with people coming forward. He came | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
for less than a day but some have questioned whether he should come at | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
all. His predecessor used to come here as well. He was partial, too, | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
to a tall building. But according to his critics, he is a little too at | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
home with developers and foreign investors. Protesters had criticised | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
his courting foreign developers and property buyers. Don't sell our | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
city. It is for Londoners, not foreign investors. But other London | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
councils see this as a place to do business. Hounslow are proposing to | :17:18. | :17:27. | |
redevelop and of the town centre. You are saying you have to come here | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
to broker a deal with an English developer? That is how it works. You | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
are going to get more developers here than you would read in your | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
whole career. He said today you can't stick fingers up at | :17:42. | :17:43. | |
international investors but needed to harmless `` harness the | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
confidence to get more affordable homes long`term. Do you not worry | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
that you are letting down a generation of Londoners? On the | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
contrary. We are attracting the investment that is going to lengthen | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
London's leader of the financial, commercial and cultural capital of | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
the world, but also enable people who at the moment can't afford to | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
live in London to be able to get the home that will help them to live | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
near their place of work. Others may question it but he says | :18:19. | :18:20. | |
international confidence in London has rarely been higher, and now we | :18:21. | :18:28. | |
need to keep the money rolling in. Still to come tonight: After | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
Charlton sack their manager, could Italian giants AC Milan be providing | :18:32. | :18:43. | |
his replacement? The only place in Britain where you | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
can earn a degree in circus has been officially recognised as a place for | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
excellence by the government. The centre in Hoxton, which helped train | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
some of the acrobats who took part in the Olympics' opening ceremony, | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
wants to make circus performances a mainstream art form. Sophie | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
Hutchinson has this report. For a quarter of a century, | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
tightrope walkers and trapeze artists have been trained here in | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
east London. But today the school known as Circus capital Micro space | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
got new billing. Today is really exciting. Circus takes its rival | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
place alongside opera, ballet, theatre, or those other forms that | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
have national states. The Culture Secretary, not unfamiliar with life | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
in the circus, albeit a political one, came to launch the | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
organisation's new name. The school has trained more than 50,000 | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
students and even offers a degree in Circus arts. You have to know where | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
all of the balancing points are. You can control what is going on in the | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
rest of your body. What is the teaching I hear? The teaching has | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
been absolutely crucial. But you must have to be inquiry flexible? | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
You need to be really strong as well. This is what a normal day's | :20:05. | :20:15. | |
study looks like air. You can see the great skill and concentration | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
that is needed. That is partly why I decided not to go upon the trapeze | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
but just to stand very still on this spot. But this is not just a bit of | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
fun. Circus is now a billion`dollar business. The National Centre says | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
it students have an almost 100% employment rate after graduation, | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
and in this climate that is certainly a hard act to follow. | :20:40. | :20:51. | |
Turning to football now, and, following this morning's news that | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
Charlton sacked their manager, they already have a new one. Our sports | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
reporter, Sara Orchard, is here to tell us more. | :20:57. | :20:58. | |
Clearly a busy day. It came after just 8am confirmation that Charles | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
and has sacked Chris Powell. He had been at the Valley since January, | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
2011. He had led them to promotion from league one in 2012. But this | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
season they are at the bottom of the championship and lots of rumours in | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
recent weeks that he had fallen out with the new owner. Yes, following | :21:18. | :21:25. | |
that news he had been sacked, just in the last few hours, confirmation | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
that another Belgian is in charge. What do we know about the new | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
manager? We understand he has been at the training ground today | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
agreeing his contract. He does now the owner. He comes from AC Milan, | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
where he has been working as a technical director there with their | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
academy. He has had two spells as leader of the Belgian club. He does | :21:53. | :21:59. | |
have links with Jose Mourinho off the was invited to join up with his | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
Real Madrid coaching team for a spell in 2011. `` after he was | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
invited. And a quick word on Arsenal, who have a huge game | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
tonight. It is massive. They are away in the Champions League. It is | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
the second leg against Bayern Munich. They are 2`0 down and Bayern | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
Munich are a team averaging three goals a game this season. The | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
massive task, but Arsene Wenger fancy their chances. At the moment | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
they are the team that is of course full of confidence. They are doing | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
well. But we had a great opportunity to do it. I am confident that | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
mentally we will be ready to play at our best. To see if Arsenal can pull | :22:50. | :23:05. | |
it off, the kick`off is at 7.45. Let's return now to our top story, | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
the sudden death of union leader Bob Crow. Our transport correspondent, | :23:10. | :23:11. | |
Tom Edwards, is outside the RMT headquarters. | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
Lots of tributes today from right across the political spectrum. Ed | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
Miliband said I didn't always agree with him politically but I always | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
respected the tireless commitment to fighting for the men and women of | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
his union. Network Rail's Mark Hanna said he possessed a deep | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
understanding of the rail industry and his contribution to it was | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
significant. The CBI General Secretary said we have often | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
disagree on employment relations but Bob Crow was a committed advocate | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
for his members. I interviewed Bob Crow about ten days ago. He was | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
typically abrasive and unapologetic about driverless tube trains. He | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
said we're not having it. The world of London transport has lost a big | :23:58. | :24:06. | |
player tonight. Time now for a check on the weather | :24:07. | :24:07. | |
with Wendy. Time now for a check | :24:08. | :24:19. | |
Hopefully! Well, if you can see me... We have got decent conditions | :24:20. | :24:27. | |
to end today. Tomorrow there is going to be something a bit quicker | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
end that. It will be sunnier soon as we go through the day tomorrow. This | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
was the satellite picture from today. It showed the picture quite | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
well. We were shrouded in cloud as we went through the first part of | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
the day. Towards the afternoon, this huge hole was ripped in the middle | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
of it. We had a bright end to the day. Tomorrow is going to be a | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
repeat of that. We started this even in with those clear skies. For the | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
first part of the night, the temperature will fall back quickly. | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
If you are a bit further south tonight, you make hang on to a bit | :25:03. | :25:09. | |
more cloud. `` you may hang on. It is into Essex and Bucks that we are | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
likely to see clear skies through the night. Temperatures will be down | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
to about three Celsius. Elsewhere, loads of about four or five. There | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
could be frost in the most sheltered spots. Also some murky bits first | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
thing, particularly over the Chilterns and the downs. Through the | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
second part of the morning, and especially into the afternoon, we | :25:35. | :25:36. | |
will once again see some sunshine breaking through. The wind will be | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
light. It is coming in again, more easterly direction. That means | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
tempters will be highest further west. The heat of the city is taking | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
temperatures up to around 15 degrees west of London. You can see hints of | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
cloud and some sea fog creeping in towards the end of the day. That is | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
going to come through and maybe cause a bit of problem first thing | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
on Thursday morning. It could cause on transport disruption because | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
there will be some fog around. It looks like it is go to clear and | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
give us some sunshine in the afternoon. `` it is going. The | :26:08. | :26:15. | |
outlook is for age riot, settled spell to continue. The cloudy icon | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
`` the cloudy icons are pessimistic. The same goes for the start of the | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
weekend. Temperatures could be heading up a bit higher than that in | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
a few places but they will be more of a breeze springing up. | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
of Good to see you, when the! A recap | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
now. Tributes from across the political | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
spectrum have been paid to Bob Crow. The RMT union leader died suddenly | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
this morning at the age of 52. The Co`op Group is facing further | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
turmoil following the sudden resignation of its chief executive. | :26:46. | :26:48. | |
Euan Sutherland, whose multi million`pound salary was leaked at | :26:49. | :26:50. | |
the weekend, claimed the organisation had become | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
ungovernable. Investigators searching for the | :26:57. | :26:58. | |
missing Malaysian Airlines plane say the two men who boarded using stolen | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
passports were probably Iranian asylum seekers, not terrorists. | :27:02. | :27:08. | |
The brother of a man thought to be Britain's first suicide bomber in | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
Syria has described his brother as a hero. Abdul Waheed Majeed hasn't | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
been seen since a lorry packed with explosives was driven into a Syrian | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
jail. And a police officer who assaulted a | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
suspected shoplifter has been sentenced to a community order. PC | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
James Kiddie was caught on camera repeatedly punching the woman at a | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
store on Regent Street. More on the day's stories on our | :27:32. | :27:34. | |
website. Alex Bushill will be back with our late news. From me and the | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
team here, thanks for joining us and have a good evening. | :27:40. | :27:48. |
