combat for the first time. That's all from the BBC News. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Tonight on BBC London: Gathering video evidence. Hundreds of | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
Metropolitan Police officers are fitted with cameras attached to | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
their uniform. This gives an opportunity to have a victimless | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
prosecution. We can take the evidence and put it before a court. | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
But some civil liberty campaigners say the strategy is open to | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
corruption. Also tonight: Abu Hamza tells a US | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
court he's not a radical and says he's worked with MI5 to keep London | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
safe. A bumper year for London's tourism | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
trade with a record number visiting the capital last year. Nearly 17 | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
million tourists visited, spending billions of pounds. I'll have more | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
on the capital's top attractions. Good evening. Hundreds of police | :00:49. | :01:04. | |
officers have been equipped with portable cameras attached to their | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
uniforms. Scotland Yard says the state`of`the`art gadgets will help | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
the force deal with stop`and`search operations and cases of violence. | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
It's also hoped the technology will bring speedier justice for victims | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
and improve trust in the force. But some civil liberty campaigners say | :01:23. | :01:31. | |
the cameras are open to abuse. A warning that this report from | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
Matthew Prodger has some disturbing scenes. | :01:35. | :01:43. | |
Police responded to a report of domestic violence. The evidence from | :01:44. | :01:56. | |
a police body camera is undeniable. Your children are here? At your | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
mother's. The attacker pleaded guilty and his victim was spared the | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
further ordeal of attending court. Sometimes victims are so terrified | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
they feel unable to take forward the prosecution. It enables a victimless | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
prosecution. We can take the evidence and put it before a court. | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
And what is important for me, as you will see in that footage, you will | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
see the terror. This scheme will establish our effective body cameras | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
can be. Officers say they have boosted the number of guilty pleas | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
and helped to avoid costly trials. A similar exercise in California also | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
found that police officers fitted with cameras were less likely to use | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
force and complaint against the police dropped by to B `` 88%. If a | :02:41. | :02:49. | |
criminal knows there is recorded evidence of their wrongdoing, they | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
are more likely to plead guilty early. If somebody knows they are | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
being filmed, they are less likely to be violent. Camera use will focus | :02:57. | :03:06. | |
initially on reports of violence and stop and search. Video will be | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
stored for a month and then deleted unless it is needed for evidence in | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
a prosecution or complaint. Police in Lambeth have been trying out a | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
different body camera to carry out an independent record searches on | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
the street, a flash point for animosity between police and the | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
public. But there are concerns that police could abuse their power to | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
stop and start recording. Clearly there is a risk that if an officer | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
recognises a situation is arising and does not want it recorded, then | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
that officer can turn the camera off. If that does happen and | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
evidence is not created, then the Met Police have got to crack down on | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
that very hard. The Met predicts that in London alone ten to 20,000 | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
body cams will eventually be in use. And many more across the UK. | :03:56. | :04:04. | |
Stay with us, as there's lots more to come on tonight's BBC London | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
including: Protecting London from flooding. The Thames Barrier | :04:07. | :04:07. | |
celebrates its 30th year. Lawyers for the radical Muslim | :04:08. | :04:20. | |
cleric Abu Hamza have claimed he secretly worked with MI5 to keep the | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
streets of London safe. The cleric has been giving evidence at his | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
trial in New York on 11 terrorism charges. Our home affairs | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
correspondent Guy Smith has this report. | :04:33. | :04:42. | |
For many years, he was the face of Britain's battle against extremism. | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
Abu Hamza, a radical Muslim cleric, was jailed in the UK for inciting | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
murder and racial hatred. Two years ago, he was extradited to the United | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
States and now faces 11 terrorism charges there. In a New York | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
courtroom, he repeatedly denied his part in the kidnapping of Western | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
tourists in Yemen in 1998, a plot to set up a jihadist training camp in | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
Oregon, and calling for holy War in Afghanistan. The court has also been | :05:11. | :05:22. | |
told about claims he secretly worked for British intelligence agency MI5 | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
to keep the streets of London safe. Abu Hamza's lawyer claims he was a | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
moderating influence within the Muslim community, seen here around a | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
decade ago preaching outside the Finsbury park mosque in North | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
London. The defence wants to introduce documents from Scotland | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
Yard, showing how he cooperated with police to calm tensions and help | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
release hostages. At the US judge has ruled that evidence | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
inadmissible. The version Abu Hamza is presenting to an American court | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
is very different to the one he was accused of here, that of running a | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
global terror network from this mosque in Finsbury Park. Claims of | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
him working with British intelligence will only go to the all | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
conspiracy theories about why he was able to preach hatred in the UK for | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
so long. Meanwhile, Abu Hamza told the court his life story, of how he | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
started out on the wrong side of morality, running a strip club in | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
Soho, but then turned to Islam. He said he had been a member of the | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
royal Society of Engineering and also worked at Sandhurst, the | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
military Academy in Surrey. Abu Hamza's testimony is expected to | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
last until next week. He has already spent eight years in prison in the | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
UK. If found guilty this time of aiding terrorism, he faces life in | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
jail in the USA. Police are still questioning the | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
violent armed robber known as the Skull Cracker who has been | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
recaptured in London after squandering from an open prison in | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
Kent. Michael Wheatley was arrested in Tower Hamlets yesterday hours | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
after allegedly robbing a villain society at Sunbury`on`Thames. | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
The mother of a teenager who was stabbed to death has bagged for help | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
in finding his killers. `` begged for help. The teenager was stabbed | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
to death on Tuesday in Feltham. His mother has said she is in | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
unimaginable pain and has asked for witnesses to come forward. | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
It's been a bumper year for London's tourism trade. Around 17 million | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
people visited the capital last year. That's a record number with | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
tourists spending more than ?11 billion. We can get more on this | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
from Helen Drew who's at one of our most popular attractions. | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
I am at Trafalgar Square and just behind me is the National Gallery, | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
the second most visited tourist attraction not just in London but in | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
the UK. They saw just over 6 million visitors last year and say this | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
could have been because of exhibitions including Turner and | :07:59. | :08:10. | |
Monet. The only place with more visitors was the British Museum. Of | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
course there are many other sites as well. History, culture and heritage. | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
London has a huge amount of tourist sites and they are attracting more | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
visitors than ever before. 16.8 million foreign visitors came to | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
London last year, an increase of 9% in 2012. And they spent more than | :08:33. | :08:40. | |
?11 billion. Every place we have visited has been magnificent and the | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
people are magnificent. We have had a wonderful time. It is attractive | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
with a lot of monuments. Beautiful, very beautiful. Wonderful, except | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
for the weather. We are from Florida. One of the most visited | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
sites as the Tower of London, with 2.5 million visitors last year. One | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
of the biggest attractions of coming to London is the enduring interest | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
in heritage, especially royal heritage. We are kind of popular | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
again, and we have always been successful with inbound visitors, | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
but at the moment we are one of the must see parts of a visit to this | :09:15. | :09:23. | |
amazing capital city of ours. Small businesses can also benefit, like | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
this cafe close to the Tower of London. Tourists come here on their | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
way to Tower Bridge. So of course we see a lot of tourists coming here. | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
And the impact of tourism is felt far wider than just these sites. The | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
great thing about a rise in tourism is that it equals a rise in jobs. | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
All that foreign currency flowing in will provide jobs, especially for | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
young people from Bromley, Bexley, Redbridge, those areas that do not | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
necessarily access financial services at the Stella and the jobs | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
market, they can find volume jobs with a good wage. `` the Stella | :10:00. | :10:09. | |
end. London seems to be the only city where visitor numbers have | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
increased since the Olympic Games. Their hopes are it will continue. | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
The highest number of visitors come from America and the biggest | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
increases from the emerging markets, like China. If you would | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
like to know who spends the most in London, an average American tourist | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
spends ?700. The average Chinese visitor ?3500. What an amazing | :10:31. | :10:42. | |
difference. Thank you very much. The Green Party currently only has | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
to councillors in London and one MEP. Today they launched their | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
campaign to change all that. They say they want to curb bankers' | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
bonuses, improve air quality and make a London living wage | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
compulsory. Party Leader Natalie Bennett has been speaking to our | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
political correspondent Karl Mercer. The weather does not respect | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
political whim, just ask the Green party. Timing, as they say, is | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
everything. Huddled beneath a tree, this was the launch of the London | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
campaign, a wet affair with spirits and dampened. After the rain comes | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
the sunshine so let's go out and make some sunshine. Thank you. The | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
Greens have one MEP at the moment and two members of the London | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
Assembly but they are looking to improve and this time round they are | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
fielding their biggest number of candidates for the town hall | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
elections. There are 1800 councillors in London and you just | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
have two. We do and that was a significant fall from 2010 but we | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
have strong campaigns. Candidates in Camden and Lewisham have strong | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
campaigns and so does Islington. Haringey and Lambeth are looking | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
strong. We are the party of real change, the party offering different | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
ideas. Recent polling has seen the Green party edging upwards and they | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
are talking about beating the Lib Dems in the European vote and they | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
are talking tough on banking bonuses. We have a banking sector | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
that is fuelling our problems are not solving them. Would you be happy | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
to see the bankers upped sticks and moving? Anyone who does not want to | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
pay any tax and is threatening to leave, my reaction is that he | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
favours that way. Fairly blood? Exactly. `` blunt? If you are making | :12:21. | :12:32. | |
a lot of money, it is not because of individual brilliance. That income | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
comes from the society. Businesses will not necessarily agree with that | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
or with plans to make a living wage compulsory. One of the things we | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
have to do, which is for the good of London and the rest of the country, | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
is that we have a problem with regional development policies. Eight | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
out of ten new jobs created since 2010 have been in London. That is | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
not ultimately for the good of London. We need an all England and | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
all Wales economy, and Scotland, that London is part of. We don't | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
want to concentrate everything in London. That will not win you folks | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
in London. Spreading out the economy. I think people fully | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
understand that if we proffered the North and the Midlands, we're | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
impoverishing all of us as a community. `` if we impoverish the | :13:22. | :13:30. | |
North. King's College hospital, the largest | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
liver disease centre in Britain, has carried out a record number of | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
transplants over the last year, accounting for a quarter of all | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
transplants in the UK. Rice has been fuelled partly by an increase in the | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
number of donors coming forward. `` the increase has been fuelled. Tracy | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
knows she is one of the lucky ones. These pictures tell the story. Until | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
only a few months ago, she was gravely ill with an inherited liver | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
disease. Thanks to an emergency transplant, her life has been | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
transformed. Since my operation, I feel amazing. I can get out and I am | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
not in pain. I was in discomfort before and I did not want to go | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
anywhere. I still get tired, but I am not as tired as I was. Not in | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
pain like I was. She was treated at King's College hospital, one of the | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
country's leading liver transplant centres. And in the last year they | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
have helped more people than ever before. 220 patients had successful | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
operations, an increase of 25%. The more transplant we can do, the | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
better it is, because of the less people dying on the waiting list. As | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
a doctor we have always had this terrible problem of people getting | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
listed, thinking their life will be saved, then not being transplanted | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
and dying. It is terrible for us but much more terrible for the patients | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
on the list. Just ten days after being placed on emergency transplant | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
list, Tracy got a phone call. I was really shocked. They told me the | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
ambulance would be there in 20 minutes and I needed to have | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
breakfast and get ready. The thought of eating at that time just was not | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
going to happen. That and expect a call has given Tracy what she wanted | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
most of all. Hope. She is now back at work. 90% of those that receive a | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
liver transplant at Kings live for more than five years and doctors are | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
keen for more of us to become organ donors. | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
It is a terrific team at the hospital. It has been quite a year | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
for the Thames Barrier in Woolwich. It has just had its busiest period | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
in history after an unusually wet winter. It proves that 30 years to | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
the day since it officially opened, the barrier remains effective at | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
protecting London from flooding. I want to congratulate all of those | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
responsible for this great feat of engineering. It was strange, | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
brilliant and beautiful. The pushing of a Britain that showed that London | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
was ambitious. Nowadays they are not ones for a big show. The birthday | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
was not privately with a cup of tea and slice of cake. And for the | :16:20. | :16:28. | |
celebratory ways `` raising, they worked slowly to not create waves. | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
We always have to work with the tide. We are just waiting at the | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
moment. The barrier was built in response to the 1953 floods which | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
claimed the lives of 300 people, a third of whom lived in the Thames | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
estuary. It enables scientists to predict with complete accuracy what | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
effect the sea will have on the structure. Gradually sciences taming | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
the waters to work for man. What they chose was simple and adaptable. | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
3500 tonne plates, rotating slowly. From their vantage point in the | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
middle of the river, the people who work here have watched London | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
expand. My name is Bill and I have been here since 1984. What has built | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
up is mainly apartments on the North side. Canary Wharf as well. We | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
actually watched the tower being built from the barrier. Canary Wharf | :17:19. | :17:26. | |
has been built since we came here. It has worked its hardest this year. | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
We have used the barrier 50 times in a three`month period this winter. | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
Out of a grand total of 174, that means it has got busier. Given what | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
has sprung up around it, the barrier no longer seem strange. Questions | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
have now been asked about its life span and there is work being done to | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
find a replacement. Slowly but steadily the barrier plans to shield | :17:54. | :18:03. | |
London for three decades more. The gift, , from Sir Michael and Lady | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
Hinz, is the biggest single donation it's been dashed back as been | :18:10. | :18:18. | |
received in its history. Angelina Jolie is as much known for her | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
humanitarian work as for her acting. But tonight she's back in London | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
promoting her new film Maleficent. Before we catch up with her, let's | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
see a clip of the film where Jolie plays the villain in the story of | :18:29. | :18:41. | |
Sleeping Beauty. Well, well. I shall bestow a gift on the child. Before | :18:42. | :18:51. | |
the sun sets on her 16th birthday, she will fall into a sleep like | :18:52. | :19:01. | |
death. Angelina Jolie is as much known for her humanitarian work as | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
for her acting. Various costumes used in the film are being exhibited | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
at Kensington Palace, which is where our entertainment correspondent, | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
Brenda Emmanus caught up with the star of the film. We celebrate the | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
costumes and props of this Disney offering. A host of celebrities and | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
designers are expected this evening to join the cast, joining me now, | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
looking magnificent as Maleficent, is Angelina Jolie. How exciting was | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
to explore the villain of this true Disney classic? It was great fun, a | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
dream. I've loved her since I was a kid. She's wonderfully wicked and | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
really a great deal of fun to play. Once I got... I was nervous at first | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
that I would do it right and pay respects to the original, then once | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
I got my horns on and decided to just try to entertain and be as open | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
as possible, I had a great time. Is it true you found this one of the | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
most difficult, challenging the most emotional roles? I did, the story is | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
emotional. It's a proper film, it has all the different elements that | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
make for a great film and complex characters. I was really nervous | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
because you can't do this halfway. I'm not a theatre actress and as a | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
film actress you keep things inside and are quite cool about it. She has | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
to be big and loud and funny, and I don't do funny. To really kind of | :20:28. | :20:36. | |
play it up, that little bit camp and a bit wild, it was something that | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
was a little frightening for me because I hadn't done it and I | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
wasn't sure I would do it right. You also wore the executive producer hat | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
in this film. How much are you enjoying being behind the camera as | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
well as in front? I love directing. Is it just another personal | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
challenge? As an actor, you come in and out. You come in, do your part | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
and are aware of the whole story but you... You're not handling every | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
aspect of it. When you direct, it's two years of your life where you get | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
to study this period of history and these people and you really get to | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
know the crew. You really become a family in a very different way. The | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
actors do a bit, but you kind of stay back and in your character. As | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
a director, you get to be a member of the team. You are here tonight | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
celebrating a very exciting project, it's out on May the 28th. Some | :21:32. | :21:41. | |
breaking news, the football Association has announced that | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has been fined ?10,000. It follows | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
comments made by him about referee Mike Dean, and the referee's chief, | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
following Chelsea's match against Sunderland last month. | :21:54. | :22:01. | |
It's thoroughly miserable. It looks like it will be a bit better | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
tomorrow but as we head into the weekend, it looks like it will be | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
pretty unsettled. We had a lot of rain around today, particularly this | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
morning's heavy bursts. A slow improvement in the afternoon, it | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
became a bit lighter. The picture from earlier, some of the heaviest | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
rain moved through just before lunchtime. Some rain left in its | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
wake, we may see some glimmers of brightness towards western areas | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
before the day is out. Most of the rain eventually clearing up through | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
the course of the night. For most, the night should be dry bar the odd | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
bit of rain across the far North. The temperatures will keep up. | :22:41. | :22:48. | |
Tomorrow, a better looking day. Writer, breezy, there will be a few | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
showers around, particularly in the morning. We have a few heavier ones | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
around northern and eastern parts. Eventually they push away and we see | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
plenty of sunshine through the afternoon. Maybe the odd shower, but | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
most places should stay dry. Quite different to today. That will impact | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
on the temperatures. Up to 19 sources across some sheltered | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
eastern parts of the city. The evening commute looks like being a | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
fine, dry one, too, with lovely spells of sunshine. If you cast your | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
mind back to last weekend, high`pressure, lots of sunshine. | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
It's looking far more unsettled, low`pressure, rain at times and | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
pretty windy. This is the picture for Saturday morning. Quite wet and | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
windy. The heavy rain pushing eastwards. Then some heavy, blustery | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
showers moving in from the West, maybe containing a bit of hail and | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
under. But in between that there will be some sunshine. That is how | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
it's looking for Saturday. On Sunday there will be a few showers will | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
store maybe a degree or so cool as we head in towards the start of next | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
week. It will be cooler and we will see West, north`westerly winds. | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
Still a few showers. It is set to stay unsettled. | :24:07. | :24:15. | |
Women soldiers in the British army could be allowed to serve on the | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
front line for the first time. A review of whether women should be | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
allowed to fight in close combat has been brought forward. Barclays has | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
said it's to cut 19,000 jobs by 2016. Just under half of them will | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
be in the UK this year. The bank is drastically reducing its investment | :24:33. | :24:39. | |
division. The Nigerian President has said the kidnapping of more than 200 | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
schoolgirls is a turning point in the battle against extremists. | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
Britain, the United States and France have joined the rescue | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
effort. Metropolitan Police officers are to start wearing cameras on | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
their uniforms, which will capture evidence at crime scenes. 500 | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
devices are being given to officers in ten London boroughs, as part of a | :24:58. | :25:05. | |
trial. And lawyers for the radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza have claimed | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
that he secretly worked with MI5 to keep the streets of London safe. The | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
cleric has been giving evidence at his trial in New York on terrorism | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
charges. That's it. I'll be back later during the 10 O'Clock News on | :25:16. | :25:22. | |
BBC One. But for now, on behalf of everyone on the team, have a very | :25:23. | :25:24. | |
good evening. No-one would have believed, in the | :25:25. | :25:52. | |
first years of the 21st century, that Britain's affairs were being | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
watched and scrutinised With the help | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
of our three political parties, who lie to the British public | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
about their intentions, minds immeasurably | :26:06. | :26:08. | |
more bureaucratic than ours slowly and surely drew | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
their plans against us. smashing our democracy | :26:13. | :26:25. | |
and destroying our laws... | :26:26. | :26:30. |
