worth up to ?2000. That is all from us, it is goodbye | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
from me and on BBC One we go to the news teams where you are. Tonight on | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
BBC London News. Change your rules so Boris can battle for the | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
leadership without becoming an MP, a plea to the Tories from the Mayor's | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
father. He will have done eight maybe 10 years as Mayor of London. | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
That should stand him in good stead. We will look at the party rules and | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
how realistic it is to change them. Also tonight: The Met's mass | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
shredding of documents into police corporation. It's emerged a | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
lorry`full was destroyed. Using volunteers for medical trials. | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Health bosses call for more to come forward to help save lives. Plus... | :00:41. | :00:50. | |
Licenced to thrill. The largest collection of 007's cars goes on | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
show in London. A very good evening to you. First | :00:53. | :01:09. | |
tonight, today we have been given the first suggestion that the Mayor | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
would consider battling for the leadership of the Conservative Party | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
from outside the Commons. Boris Johnson's father wants the rules to | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
be changed so the Mayor could stand for leader without becoming an MP, | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
if David Cameron stands down after the next general election. Stanley | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
of London would "stand him in good of London would "stand him in good | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
stead" to become a future Prime Minister. If he's hungry for the top | :01:34. | :01:42. | |
job in politics, Boris Johnson has always stopped short of saying so. | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
My appetite for power, as everybody knows, has been completely glutted | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
by the experience of being Mayor. It's the most wonderful job anybody | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
can have. Stanley Johnson wants party rules changed to allow elected | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
Tories from outside the Commons, London 's Mayor perhaps to run for | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
leader. The only pool where the Tories can fish in is the limited | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
pool of current MPs in the House of Commons. Are there not other | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
possible candidates? Candidates like Johnson Junior. It's tough job being | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
Prime Minister. Very tough job. Obviously if the ball came loose | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
from the back of the scrum, which it won't... It might? Of course it | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
would be a great, great thing to have a crack at. It's not going to | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
happen. Do you think he would be a good Prime Minister though? Heaven | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
knows. Heaven knows. I mean, this is a job which you grow into. Now, you | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
could say, isn't he going to be a bit old? You could say that. I mean | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
we have had some very young Prime Ministers. I think maturity may | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
count here. He will have done eight maybe ten years as Mayor of London. | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
That should stand him in good stead. Easy to see why Boris Johnson might | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
not want to fight his way in there to wait it out on the backbenches. | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
Will those who have already secured their seat in parliament be prepared | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
to change the rules? I suspect the general view is that the present | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
procedures, having been agreed, at least in terms of choosing who will | :03:21. | :03:29. | |
stand as candidates, works well. So what game are the Johnson's playing | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
here. Stanley told me he hasn't been put up to this by his son, not | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
everyone is convinced. The Johnsons are a clan, a dynasty, Boris doesn't | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
have a faction in parliament. He doesn't have a ready group of | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
supporters to do this kind of work for him. They work as a pack. It's | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
absurd to say they don't have chats over the Sunday roast or glass of | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
wine. The Mayor's office wouldn't comment on Mr Johnson's | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
intervention. It will fuel speculation about the Mayor's | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
ambition. It's one of the strongest indicators yet that a Team Boris is | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
emerging. We can cross to Tim Donovan in Westminster. What do you | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
read into Stanley Johnson suggestion that the rules should be change to | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
accommodate his son? Is the touching sentiment of a proud father? I | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
haven't heard from anybody who thinks it's a serious option at this | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
stage, or it is being thought of in any any way or being planned for. It | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
gives you an idea, a flavour, of the kind of thing some Conservatives, | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
activists in particular could say and ask for if the Conservatives | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
don't well in next year's election. I think it also reveals a kind of | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
frustration in the father as well as the son, that things perhaps are not | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
moving smoothly. There is not a clear path here for him to become | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
either the leader or thus Prime Minister. He is where he is, the | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
Mayor of London. There will be a who ha if he chooses to come back in in | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
2015. It's not immediately apparent how this will work, at this stage. | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
In a sense, this sort of Team Boris, is this a sign of things to come | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
between now and the general election? It's possible. I think | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
there will be speculate being fuelled over the next few months. I | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
think it is definitely fair to say that among the Conservative top | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
brass it is potentially seen as destabilising the longer Boris | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
Johnson doesn't clarify his intentions. From Boris Johnson's | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
point of view, of course, I don't think he has much intention of doing | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
that, why should he. As long as there are journalists asking him | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
what his intentions are, he will be quite happy not to answer the | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
question. Thank you. Stay with us. Plenty more ahead this evening, | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
including residents plagued by sewage in a Berkshire town call on | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
the boss of Thames Water to give up his bonus. | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
Campaigners are calling for tougher measures to stop female genital | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
mutilation or FGM, as it's known. Thousands of girls in the capital | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
are thought to be affected by the practicement they want suspected | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
victims to be referred to the police, but some experts say that | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
could prevent them from coming forward. As Tarah Welsh explains in | :06:37. | :06:44. | |
the first of her two special reports on FGM. It was done at my | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
grandmother's house. I got there. There was lots of people. I thought | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
we were having a party. I was thrown to the ground. I had this other lady | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
who was a friend of family. She sat on me to prevent me from struggling. | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
Then the cutter came into the room. As I was laying there, just | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
struggling, fighting for my life. That is how I felt. I just couldn't | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
breathe. I just couldn't do it any more. I can never describe the pain. | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
It's not something I have any words for. This woman's story is difficult | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
to hear, but harder for her to tell. She is sharing it at City Hall to | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
try and prevent the practice because what happened to her will be done to | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
little girls from our city this year. In France they have succeeded | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
in prosecuting and convicting 200 people and striking off no fewer | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
than 12 doctors, we have done nothing like it. It has been illegal | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
here for almost 30 years, there is yet to be a prosecution. Now doctors | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
will be forced to record every person they come across that has | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
been mutilated. The Mayor says they should also be telling the police. | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
The woman who set up one of the first FGM clinics in London says we | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
muss not punish victims. In terms of recording, that is fine. In terms of | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
reporting all women to the police, or social services, I think we still | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
need to look very carefully into that. Communities know this goes on, | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
but it is something that is kept secret. Often, you only find out | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
that a woman has had it done when she goes to give birth. Now the | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
concern is when this reporting becomes law, women will be too | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
scared to use the NHS. Reporting a victim is not actually a bad thing. | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
You are saving the child. You are giving them the support they need, | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
the medical support, the psychological support. You are also | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
preventing it moving onto the next generation. Everyone here today | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
agreed the only way to completely stop this is education. Ending | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
something that has been practiced for thousands of years could take | :08:54. | :09:02. | |
more than a generation. And tomorrow evening Tarah will be looking at the | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
results of a BBC London investigation into FGM in the | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
capital. Ahead of that, you can tune into our radio station, BBC BBC | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
London 94.9 where they will be discussing the results. A woman has | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
died at a swimming pool in North London. Lifeguards at the Swiss | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
Cottage Leisure Centre tried to save the 64`year`old who visited the pool | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
regularly, but attempts to resuscitate her were unsuccessful. | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
Measures to make new lorries safer for cyclists have been backed by the | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
European parliament. It's hoped the more rounded cab design will reduce | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
a driver's blind spot, improving their view, especially important for | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
cyclists and pedestrians in busy years. The changes could be | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
mandatory for all new lorries in eight years' time. Fresh details | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
have emerged about the mass shredding of documents relating to | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
police corruption in the Met. A source has told the BBC a lorry load | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
of papers, photographs and videos were destroyed back in 2003. Our | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
correspondent is outside Scotland Yard for us this evening. Alice. The | :10:05. | :10:12. | |
material shredded came from a top secret investigation into possible | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
police corruption started back in 1993. It came to light because of | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
Lord Ellison's report into the Met's handling of the Stephen Lawrence | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
murder investigation as part of that probe it became clear there were | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
documents missing and the Met admitted that a number of documents | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
were shredded over a two`day period in 2003. Now, we have since found | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
Ouattara that included documents, but also photos and videos. That | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
amount of material amounted to a lorry`load of material, that is | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
according to a source who has spoken to the BBC. How unusual is it for | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
any material to be shredded? Well, we have been told apparently it's | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
unlikely it could have been shredded in order to free up storage space or | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
to comply with data protection rules or anything like that. Former | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
officers and staff with experience of record breaking who have spoken | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
to the BBC have not ruled out an innocent explanation. They described | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
record`keeping at the Met as chaotic. They have said that the | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
mass shredding was disturbing, bizarre and suspicious. Now for its | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
part the Met says it has little detail on the circumstances that led | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
to the shredding or the exact documents destroyed. And there is | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
ongoing work to find out what exactly happened. It's unlikely to | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
bolster the reputation of the Met at the moment. There is a public | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
inquiry that's going to happen into police corruption. So we may well | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
find out what was shredded and why in the not too distant future. Many | :11:48. | :11:55. | |
thanks. London's health bosses are urging more people to volunteer for | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
medical trials. They say it will help bring new treatments forward | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
more quickly and help boost the medical industry in the capital. | :12:03. | :12:12. | |
This is Steven's lunch break. It's not quite the usual middle of the | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
day affair, Steven is taking part in a medical trial, he is one of | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
thousands to pass through the clinical trials unit at hospital | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
every year. I come in during lunch. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to | :12:30. | :12:38. | |
do. This was pretty simple. The biggest part is contributing to | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
clinical research and medical studies in general. Brian Reid is | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
living with bone cancer, his wife too is about to start cancer | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
treatment. This jazz musician is also part of medical trials firstly | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
when he had prostate cancer and he is helping with tests for scanning | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
for the disease. How did he feel when they asked him to take part? I | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
assumed they knew what they were doing. I thought it was the best | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
option. The other option would have been chemotherapy, that is why I | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
decided to go for the trial programme. London's health bosses | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
want more people to follow that lead. The capital, they say, should | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
be the capital of clinical trials the world over. Good, they say, for | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
patients and for London's growing life sciences industry. It has a | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
population of eight million, very diverse population, it has a single | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
health service. If we can't get it right, I don't know anywhere in the | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
world that can. We need to tap it, bring it together and co`ordinate it | :13:42. | :13:50. | |
better so it can be fully realised. For that to happen you need more | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
people like Steve to give up their lunch breaks and more. There's been | :13:55. | :14:12. | |
fierce criticism of plans to lower the speed imimwill it on part of the | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
M3 from this summer. Under the proposals there would be 6 o 0mph | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
speed limits for 12 hours. The Highways Agency is also consulting | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
on plans to introduce similar limits on a section of the M4. Motorists | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
have concerns. I think you need the hard shoulder. If everybody was | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
aware and complied it would work way. It won't ease the traffic up, | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
no way. The M4's will be 32 miles long. It will cost up to ?900 | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
million. The hard shoulder will be used in rush`hour and managed by | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
over head signs and cameras. The The Highways Agency say it is will cut | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
the morning commute. With the smart motorway we will be running on the | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
hard shoulder. There will be emergency refuge areas about every | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
two`and`a`half kilometers. We believe 50% of the traffic will be | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
able to get there when they do have an emergency. On the M3 the hard | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
shoulder is to be turned permanently into a fourth traffic lane. With a | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
60mph speed limit. Without it, pollution will soon breach local air | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
quality limits. Motoring organisations though fiercely oppose | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
the plan. Most of the pollution is coming from the heavy vehicles, the | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
lorries, which themselves run at 60mph anyway. They won't have to | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
slow down, the cars will have to slow down, yet they are the cleaner | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
vehicles amongst the motorway traffic. It seems a bit ironic to | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
invest all this money in the motorway and have to screw the speed | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
limit down. Work on the M3 starts this summer, with the M4 following | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
in 2021. As the authorities look to squeeze more capacity out of the | :15:55. | :16:02. | |
region's roads. Still to come tonight: Chelsea against Galatasaray | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
in the Champions League. Didier Drogba returns to Stamford Bridge | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
tonight. Jose Mourinho says one day he could be back for good. | :16:15. | :16:28. | |
Residents in Maidenhead are calling for the annual bonus of the chief | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
executive of Thames Water to be withheld until sewage problems in | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
the area have been resolved. Effluence has spilled into roads and | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
homes in Waltham Saint Lawrence. Since Christmas, the company says | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
it's made huge efforts to rectify the situation. Gareth Furby reports. | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
It could be the perfect commuter village. One of Berks's finest, | :16:52. | :17:01. | |
except for one thing. Sewage. Here it formed a foul smelling Moat, | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
surrounding the Goodman's home. Ironically perhaps named Paradise | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
cottage. I have always wanted to have a motor around my house but not | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
full of sewage. The house is surrounded by four foot of | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
excrement. The sewage levels have fallen that traces are easy to find. | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
The smell has not gone away. Nine inches deep and it ran up to about | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
here. It was quite horrible. This man is a sculptor but his garden was | :17:34. | :17:41. | |
hardly a place to enjoy. His opinion of Thames Water? We give them lots | :17:42. | :17:51. | |
of money and all we get is loads of (BLEEP). A councillor is now calling | :17:52. | :18:03. | |
on the chief executive fall `` to forego his annual bonus until the | :18:04. | :18:05. | |
problem is sorted out. It would be outrageous if we got a bonus | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
equivalent to what he got last year, which he got ?400,000. Thames | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
Water said it would not commenting that the chief executive should | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
forego his bonus. It said the sewage network had been overwhelmed by the | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
wettest winter on record and the pumping station was working well. | :18:25. | :18:33. | |
The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall officially opened | :18:34. | :18:35. | |
Chelsea Children's Hospital today. There's some flash photography | :18:36. | :18:37. | |
coming up in the following pictures. The Royal couple greeted a number of | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
young patients and their parents during a tour of the facility, which | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
cares for more than 75,000 children a year. They also had a go at | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
operating the hospital's "da Vinci" robot, the UK's first surgical arm | :18:49. | :18:57. | |
dedicated to babies and children. When I heard Prince Charles and the | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
Duchess were coming, I thought they will just be in the hospital. I did | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
not realise they would actually come in! So me and my friends were quite | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
shocked when he came through the door. | :19:15. | :19:26. | |
Tonight a Chelsea legend returns to Stamford Bridge for the first time | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
since leaving the club. Striker Didier Drogba who once helped them | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
win the Champions League will now try be trying to knock them out of | :19:33. | :19:34. | |
the competition with his current team Galatasaray. Chris Slegg is | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
outside the stadium ahead of the game. So mixed feelings for the | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
fans? Chelsea fans arriving with a mixture | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
of excitement and nerves. They have seen Didier Drogba the score so many | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
goals. It is the first time they have arrived here not wanting him to | :19:55. | :20:02. | |
score. They have a boisterous backing tonight. | :20:03. | :20:21. | |
It is to happen one day. When, I don't know. As a player, as a | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
coach, as an ambassador. When a person represents so much to a club | :20:30. | :20:37. | |
and when a club represents so much to do a person, he has to come back. | :20:38. | :20:46. | |
Clearly a lot of affection for him and a lot of noise going on. If you | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
can hear me, what do Chelsea have to do to get through? Chelsea just | :20:50. | :20:56. | |
about have the upper hand thanks to Fernando Torres' away goal in Turkey | :20:57. | :21:05. | |
a couple of weeks ago. Any winner will be in the Chelsea tonight but | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
it won't be easy against the Turkish champions. Chelsea are well placed | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
to become the first, and unless Manchester United overcome their | :21:16. | :21:17. | |
deficit tomorrow night, they will be the only English club through to | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
this year 's champions league quarterfinals. Either way I am | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
getting the idea it is going to be noisy. | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
They are as much a part of the Bond films as a vodka martini, shaken not | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
stirred of course. This week the largest collection of James Bond | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
vehicles goes on show at the London film museum. It includes classics | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
like the Aston Martin DB5 from Golden Eye and the more recent | :21:46. | :21:47. | |
motorbikes used in Skyfall. Emma North went to take a look. There are | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
the girls and gadgets, of course. But without the cars, boats and | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
bikes, James Bond would be nothing. To have so many vehicles together, | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
including the bikes last seen on the rooftop of Istanbul, is quite | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
something. Gathered in what looks like the world's most expensive car | :22:10. | :22:16. | |
park, everybody got a view of the new show, including a husband and | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
wife team who have cornered the market. On You Only Live Twice I was | :22:21. | :22:34. | |
a ninja. I have been a stunt double. I have been in Live And Let Die. I | :22:35. | :22:45. | |
was riding a motorbike as well. There are lots of gadgets, used for | :22:46. | :22:54. | |
all kinds of chases. You are lucky to be alive. London is the natural | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
home for many of these exhibits. This BMW driven by Piers Brosnan, | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
wasn't in hamburg, it was filmed in Brent Cross. Not all of the cars can | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
be here, because not all of them made it. Three of these Aston | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
Martins will roll down a hill and 18 BMWs were wrecked so badly for one, | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
single sequence, they had to come home in carrier bags. James Bond | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
needs a car that is reliable and pushed to its limits and still do | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
the job. It sounds like you are after a family hatchback? His life | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
depends on its own it has to be reliable. You think you are dealing | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
with the most modern technology there is, and you are so you do | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
adapt everything to suit that. The show opens to the public on Friday. | :23:49. | :23:55. | |
We cannot afford to lose that list. Get there by any means you choose. | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
I might have to get a better look at that car. Now we can get the | :24:00. | :24:01. | |
weather. It rained today for the first time | :24:02. | :24:14. | |
in two weeks. Tomorrow will probably be the best day of the week, | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
certainly the warmest and the sunniest. But we saw some sunshine | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
eventually today. Started off sunny and then we lost it a bit because of | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
the week weather front going through. We did one or two showers | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
going through as well. Then we see a return to the clearer weather behind | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
it in the late afternoon. There will be some cloud around but towards | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
dawn, most of that will have cleared away. But the wind is staying | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
moderate, coming in from the west or north west direction. That means it | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
will not be freezing as we go through the night, it will keep the | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
air nicely stirred up. We're looking about five or six Celsius and in | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
central London, seven or eight degrees. It means we will start the | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
day tomorrow with plenty of clear skies. It looks like it will be a | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
lovely day tomorrow. Bit of a breeze lowing and Matt will pick up in the | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
afternoon. Coming in from south westerly direction so every chance | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
it will feel warm in the afternoon. Away from the breeze and the | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
sheltered spots, 15 or 16 degrees in Hertfordshire and into Essex. 18 or | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
19 degrees in isolated spots in London. More cloud creeping into was | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
the end of the day and overnight. Then it turns more unsettled. This | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
is the picture for Thursday night. This weather front giving us the | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
first substantial rain we have had for a couple of weeks. That'll clear | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
through on Friday morning but there is every chance it will come back in | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
and push rain towards us throughout the day on Friday. We will have a | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
lot at the outlook, but I think it will change as we go through the | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
week. Hazy sunshine to start with on Thursday. A breezy day all in all. | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
It should stay dry at the dark and then we will have the rain from the | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
cold front. It should clear away leaving us with some bright weather | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
but that could change and we could have a wet day on Friday. It will be | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
cooler for the weekend and a breeze blowing as well. Not like the last | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
two Sundays, two Sundays, basically. | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
We still can't complain. Let me read the headlines: The government has | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
announced new measures to help people with the cost of childcare | :26:36. | :26:42. | |
for every 80p parents pay into a childcare account, it will hand over | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
an extra 20p. President Putin has signed a treaty | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
paving the way the Crimea to become part of Russia. He says he has no | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
plans to annex more of Ukraine and warns Western powers their sanctions | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
would have no effect. The Malaysia and government says | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
more than 2 million square miles of territory meted the searched hunting | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
for the missing passenger jet. 26 countries must cooperate if the | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
surge is to be successful. Boris Johnson's father says the | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
Conservative Party should change its rules so the mayor can stand for the | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
leadership without becoming an MP. Details have emerged about the mass | :27:24. | :27:31. | |
shredding of documents by The Met. A source has told the BBC a lorry load | :27:32. | :27:37. | |
of documents, papers and photographs were destroyed in 2003. | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
I will be back with the late news at 10:25pm. Thanks are watching and do | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
have a lovely evening. | :27:46. | :27:47. |
