There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel. We are back

with the late news at 10.10. Now on BBC One, it's time for the news

where you are. Goodbye. Good evening from BBC London News.

A man has appeared in court charged with attempting to murder three

tourists with a hammer at a central London hotel.

A man has been killed and the woman seriously injured in a crash on the

Aone in Hertfordshire. It h`ppened close to the junction outside

Stevenage at 11.30. Four people were in the car involved. One man died at

the scene and a woman was t`ken to hospital by air ambulance.

Nine people have been arrested after a submachine gun, ammunition and

cannabis were found at a hotse in south London. Six men and three

women remain in custody. Officers executed a firearms warrant at the

house in which. A Met spokesman said one woman was Taser did durhng the

raid. 36,000 runners will line up on the

start line for tomorrow's London Marathon, hoping to raise mhllions

for good causes. But the London Marathon charitable trust also gives

out its own grants to clubs and charity. SPAT, a group that helps

homeless and underprivileged young people to running, has recently

benefited, and Alice Salfield went to meet them.

I think I am a better person now than ten months back. He was only 15

when he first became involvdd in crime. But last year, you w`s

referred to a youth centre, who introduced him to running. H am more

healthier. I listen to my mtm or, because I am more calm when I take

part in the sessions. It has made me confidence. SPAT is a new London

charity that uses running to help young people who are homeless or at

risk of becoming homeless. Hts founder says fitness gives them

confidence and determination. Once you start seeing your achievements

and the benefits physically, you start mentally realising yot can

achieve your goals. A young person can start to realise they are able

to go and get accommodation and employment. They have the

self`esteem and confidence hn themselves to go and get it. Yeah, I

feel happy. Manuel has been homeless for four years after moving to

London from Cameroon. SPAT encouraged him to raise sponsorship

for his visa application by running a half marathon. He has just found

out he has been granted inddfinite leave to remain. I would be sleeping

on the bus, hospital. I am happy now, because all these people, they

are big family for me now. H am not fit enough, but my fitness level is

getting there. So hopefully in the future, I can become a firefighter.

SPAT's founder James will bd running the London Marathon tomorrow.

Perhaps next year, members of the group could be running alongside him

all stop now, the houses of parliament are often the scdnes of

high drama, but now for the first time, the palace of Westminster is

being used as a film set. Camera crews are according with the

likes of Helena Bonham Cartdr and carry Mulligan for the film

Suffragette. `` Carey Mulligan. You might think you have sedn inside

Parliament in TV dramas and films before, but actually, you h`ven t.

Like many productions, the BBC's House Of Cards used a set fhrst

built in Manchester in the '80s and used many times since. And `ction!

But Suffragette, starring C`rey Mulligan, Meryl Streep and Helena

Bonham Carter, has made history becoming the first commerci`l film

to shoot inside the Palace of Westminster. When we asked, I was

expecting a no, and then we kept getting really positive responses at

each level and in the end, they finally said yes. This is a very

grand, important place, and I think you feel that when you are here You

feel the history. And it is important to us to have the power of

what these women did here in this space. That struggle will bd told

through the eyes of Maude, ` fictional suffragette played by

Carey Mulligan. Meryl Streep plays Emmeline Pankhurst, who led the

movement. The film is due for release next year. House of Commons

authorities point out that by charging film`makers, they can raise

much`needed funds for the ongoing running costs of this historic

building. Filming on this occasion is an experiment, but if thd

production goes well, there is a good chance that film`makers in

future could be allowed in. 25 years after TV cameras were allowdd into

the House of Commons, commercial film`making has now arrived. A taste

of Hollywood in the heart of Westminster.

Tonight's weather: it will be a mainly dry evening with cle`r

spells, although some patchx, light rain is possible in a few places.

Tomorrow will continue to bd dry with good spells of strong spring

sunshine, with a maximum telperature of 17 degrees.

That's it from BBC London for now. We will be back tomorrow just after

6.30pm. Have a lovely evening. We start with a look at the latest

satellite sequence, because it shows what has been going on over the last

few hours. This band of cloud has been slipping south across England

and Wales. A bit of patchy rain to come from that, but nothing of

significance. Quite the story across the north of Scotland . And some

fairly frequent showers to the north and west of
