still trapped. We can now join the BBC's news teams | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
where you are. Tonight on BBC London: He groomed teenage girls on | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
Facebook but escaped jail. Now Timothy Storey's sentence could be | :00:13. | :00:20. | |
reviewed. Inciting children to obscene sexual activity and abusing | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
children, to see that person walk free and receive are a | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
rehabilitation order is an acceptable. And the plans for | :00:35. | :00:44. | |
education in the capital. Plus ?50,000 for the family of a | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
murdered man for their battle against police corruption. | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
And from the National to Broadway. Acclaimed director Richard Eyre | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
tells us why he's still scared of the critics. | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
Good evening. A sex offender from South London, who walked free from | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
court after being convicted of grooming hundreds of children, could | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
have his sentence reviewed. 34`year`old Timothy Storey from | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
Peckham has been described by police as every parent's nightmare after | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
being found guilty of posing as a teenager to contact girls aged as | :01:18. | :01:25. | |
young as 12. He wanted them to send explicit pictures of themselves on | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
Facebook. The case has now been referred to the Attorney`General for | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
review, as Nick Beake reports. He created a fake Facebook profile | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
using an old photograph of himself. He claimed he was a teenager, single | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
and interested in girls. In fact, every one of his 700 friends was | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
female. He sent hundreds of messages and persuaded some as young as 12 to | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
send sexually explicit photographs of themselves. Its real name is | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
Timothy Storey, not 18 but 34 years old. Now a convicted paedophile but | :02:04. | :02:11. | |
spared prison. The prospect of a predator inciting children to | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
obscene sexual activity, abusing children, to see that person walk | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
free and receive a rehabilitation order, is just an acceptable. He | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
also pleaded guilty to making indecent images on his laptop and | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
his mobile phone. But rather than a custodial sentence, he was placed on | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
a three`year sex offenders programme. The Metropolitan Police | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
detective who led the investigation into Timothy Storey described him as | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
every parent's worst nightmare, abusing and exploiting girls over | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
the internet. He also thought that he had targeted more victims and he | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
urged them to come forward. Charities say that this case once | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
again shows how important it is for parents to talk to their children | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
about what they are doing online. Be really clear if they are ever | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
concerned that they can speak up on something will be done. And don't | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
make threats like if you do this, we will stop your usage. One of the | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
things that gets in the way of children and young people speaking | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
up if they think they will lose their mobile phone or their ability | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
to be on Facebook. It is about being open and having a discussion. It is | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
not just about problems but day`to`day use. Former BBC presenter | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
Stuart Hall's sentence for indecent assault against girls was doubled | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
last year by Court of Appeal judges. Now that Government's top lawyer, | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
the Attorney`General, will decide if Timothy Storey's sentence is unduly | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
lenient and should be increased. What are the chances of the sentence | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
being overturned? We spoke to the Attorney`General's office today and | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
they could give us figures for the year 2012. They received 435 | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
complaints about sentences that had been passed and in the end 73 were | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
increased. So it is about one in six. If you look at the sentencing | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
guidelines for this particular offence, the eight counts that | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
Timothy Storey pleaded guilty to, it is causing or inciting sexual | :04:19. | :04:28. | |
activity with a child, and the maximum sentence is 14 years. We | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
asked for the judge's sentencing remarks but they have not been | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
forthcoming unfortunately. Generally speaking longer custodial sentences | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
for that kind of offence are usually when there has been physical contact | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
with the victim. In Timothy Storey's case it was grooming, it | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
was abuse online. He did not meet his victims but nonetheless there | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
will be a careful examination of his crimes, his offences, and they will | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
be keen to make sure the punishment fits the crime is. I know you are | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
following this case closely. Thank you for that. | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
Next week European elections are being held and they are seen by some | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
as a barometer of the way Londoners feel about the impact of the EU on | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
the capital. We have been gauging whether Europe is seen as being good | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
or bad for business here and in turn good or bad for Londoners. London's | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
Eurovision is different from much of the country. Warmer and more | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
positive. That is according to most opinion polls. There is just not so | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
much anger. If we are not part of Europe, we have isolated ourselves | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
and what is the point of that? It needs to be reformed to reduce waste | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
and bureaucracy but Richard beats sorted out. I would rather be part | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
of Europe than just this tiny island with crab weather. I do feel | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
European and I think it is important to be part of Europe. Not separate | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
from it. Is Europe good for business in the capital? I have come to | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
Perivale in the borough of Ealing, the electoral ward with the highest | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
population of Polish born people anywhere in London. The shop signs | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
tell the story and so do the flags. One in seven people living here is | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
Polish and where people live, businesses cluster. Miroslav owns | :06:13. | :06:21. | |
this supermarket since coming here a decade ago right when Poland first | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
joined the EU. He has also set up a building firm and set up a paint | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
shop. Work is everything. It is good because we are in the EU. Can you | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
see yourself going back to Poland now? No way. Why not? My life is | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
here. House, business. Round the corner, we visit this family run | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
firm making double glazing. And a recent directive they have had to | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
ensure their products conform with new European standards. They found | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
it a bit tiresome and time`consuming but they nearly gave up | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
manufacturing altogether several years ago because they could not | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
find skilled staff. Until, that is, Eastern European newcomers arrived. | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
The blessing was the new European employees who started coming in. Did | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
they save the planet? I would almost say that, yes. It saved the decision | :07:15. | :07:22. | |
of stopping manufacturing. On the day we are here, a German engineers | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
on`site service in German equipment while nearby Polish workers use | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
Belgian software to operate an Italian machine soaring through | :07:30. | :07:37. | |
British aluminium. It is easy for people to move around, easy for | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
engineers to come and service the machines. We have bought a lot of | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
machinery from European suppliers and we have certainly benefited. The | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
benefits of the European Union far outweigh the costs to us as a | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
business. Back on the Perivale shop Parade is a print business where the | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
owner bemoans the EU paperwork involved even in paper. The | :08:00. | :08:08. | |
standards are so high. We have to follow European laws. And an EU exit | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
could not come soon enough. We should be independent. It would give | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
a bit benefit of our own. It would be tough in the beginning but late | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
on it would be OK. Meanwhile Miroslav says he will certainly be | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
party that one them. In a city more party that one them. In a city more | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
happy than most about being part of a bigger place. | :08:35. | :08:43. | |
One of the parties standing in the European elections next week is | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
called no To EU. They are putting up eight candidates and want to see an | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
immediate referendum. The European Union has become a monster. We are | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
getting the central bank and the European Commission dictating | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
policies on austerity to Britain and the other 28 members. That is | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
leaving to mass unemployment and a collapse in our living standards. We | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
think it is time that we had a vote and got out the British people can | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
decide what economic and political policies they want in this country | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
for themselves. The family of a man who was murdered | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
in a car park in South East London over 25 years ago are to receive | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
?50,000 for, as City Hall says, bringing to light failings of the | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
Metropolitan Police. Private investigator Daniel Morgan was | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
discovered in Sydenham with an axe in his head in 1987. It's thought he | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
was on the verge of exposing police corruption. The Mayor, Boris | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
Johnson, says he'd now like to see the murder investigation reopened. | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
Our home affairs correspondent Guy Smith has been speaking to Mr | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
Morgan's brother about this latest development. | :09:47. | :09:55. | |
It is one of the country's most notorious unsolved murders. Daniel | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
Morgan was killed in this pub car park in third and in 1987, just | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
before he was about to expose police corruption. `` in Sid and. An axe | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
was found embedded in his head. It is accepted the subsequent murder | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
investigation was also thwarted by corruption. Daniel's family has | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
fought for justice for three decades. Financial recognition, I | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
think it is ridiculous. Today London's Mayor revealed in a | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
document that ?50,000 would now be paid to the family in recognition of | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
the general social benefits brought about by their efforts in bringing | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
to light the failings of the Metropolitan Police service. | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
Daniel's brother was not impressed with the financial gesture. | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
Insulting, derisory, pitiful. Abusive almost. Why? Well, we have | :10:45. | :10:54. | |
had to be doing the job of the authorities for 27 years. Five | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
separate police inquiries have failed to identify the killers. In | :10:59. | :11:07. | |
2011, an Old Bailey trial collapsed because three supergrass witnesses | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
were deemed unreliable. His brother has told me that the former police | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
authority in charge of scrutinising the Met Police has already paid the | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
family ?125,000, still just a fraction of the cost incurred over | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
decades of seeking justice. Meanwhile, he was not happy with Mr | :11:24. | :11:33. | |
Green Howards, and wrote to Boris Johnson that he disappointed him | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
greatly with his ignorance of what they were dealing with. Why we | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
brought up the words corruption and cover`up, he was utterly and | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
completely unaware. `` when we brought up. He said I don't know | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
anything about corruption when we met him. Today a City Hall spokesman | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
said Boris Johnson was impressed with the Morgan family and was keen | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
to help and would reopen a criminal investigation into the murder if new | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
evidence was found. Something his deputy was also pushing for. | :12:05. | :12:12. | |
Unemployment in London has dropped to its lowest level in five years. | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
Just over 330,000 people are out of a job. That's a decrease of 0.9% on | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
last year's figure. A UKIP MEP has had a brick thrown | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
through his window at his home in East London. Gerard Batten said he | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
suspected it was part of an attempt by political opponents to intimidate | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
UKIP candidates ahead of next Thursday's European elections. | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
Police are investigating the incident and have told the MEP | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
they'll step up patrols on his street. | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
An explosion on Chancery Lane this afternoon is said to have been | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
caused by a small electrical fire underneath the pavement. The UK | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
Power Networks said dozens of customers experienced an | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
interruption to their power supply. No one was injured but last year the | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
Health and Safety Executive expressed concern that Londoners | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
were at risk of being killed in one of a growing number of pavement | :12:59. | :13:12. | |
explosions. After creating a chain of successful | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
schools in and around London, Lord Harris of Peckham has welcomed ideas | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
for Ofsted getting powers to inspect entire academy chains and not just | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
individual schools. The multi`million pound Tory donor told | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
BBC London that all academies should be more transparent about their | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
finances. We went to meet him. I am proud of all the schools when I see | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
them improved. As Lord Harris tells it, this all happened by accident. | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
Margaret Thatcher asked him to take over a failing school and he now | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
runs 29 with ten more about to open. What is good about it? The teachers | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
are really helpful. All new schools are academies with more freedom over | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
budgets, curriculum is and staffing. It has led to criticism that they | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
lack transparency. Should everybody open up their books? Definitely. We | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
always have. If you cannot make a failing call better, then we will | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
give it back to the local authority and we don't anticipate giving any | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
back. `` if we cannot make a failing school better. Ofsted says they | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
should be able to investigate whole chains and not just individual | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
schools. We don't mind what they want to do. We have been in chains | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
and we have changed it. We have been outstanding and they have changed | :14:35. | :14:36. | |
the rules and we have been outstanding and we are doing an | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
excellent job to give children a better education. The results that | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
he has achieved are on the whole impressive but Harris academies have | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
attracted controversy for a number of sometimes hostile takeovers. At | :14:49. | :14:58. | |
this school in Tottenham 90% of parents voted against the change. | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
Ask those 90% what they think today, nine months later. They speak with | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
their feet. Nearly 600 parents want their children to go to that school. | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
But if you did not want us to take over last year. Round the corner, | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
there were safeguarding concerns after this secretly filmed footage | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
of children being restrained. It did not worry me. It concerned me. | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
Ofsted have been in since and they have said if you have two children | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
fighting each other and you are straining them and pulling them | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
apart... There are ways of restraining them. If two people are | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
hitting each other what can you do but hold them back? Has there been a | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
disciplinary? Has anyone moved on? Nobody at the time. This is the | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
situation. Do you want schools that are failing with people fighting all | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
the time and just let them fight and expel them and put them on the | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
streets? We don't do that at Harris. We want to teach them. Which brings | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
them to the question of who does the teaching. Coalition policy is that | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
formal qualifications are not needed but Lord Harris disagrees. We want | :16:00. | :16:16. | |
to get an excellent teacher as well as a Teach First teacher and get | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
them working together. He says he is happy to work with politicians of | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
any colour. Still to come... | :16:25. | :16:35. | |
He is one of our most successful directors and we are at home with | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
Richard Eyre, talking about his latest production in the West End, | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
why the arts are important, and what he plans to do next. | :16:45. | :16:54. | |
A campaign has been launched to encourage pupils from east London to | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
consider careers virtually on their doorstep in Tech City. The area | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
around Old Street Roundabout is now home to the largest cluster of | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
digital businesses in Europe. Alice Bhandhukravi has been to a school in | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
Bethnal Green to see how the students there could benefit. | :17:07. | :17:16. | |
This is the next generation of coders, programmers and web | :17:17. | :17:18. | |
designers. For the time being they are still pupils at school, but some | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
have already had a taste of what the technology companies down the road | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
to and from many, it has whet their appetites. We have got to work with | :17:28. | :17:35. | |
coders and designers and it got me involved and inspired me. I built my | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
first computer when I was ten. I am currently building another one. I | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
would love to give everything a try. Technology is evolving and nowadays | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
everything you are doing involves technology. Traditionally, | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
technology companies have had to look further and further afield to | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
recruit the right people. Now the idea is to look at what is on the | :17:57. | :18:06. | |
doorstep. They are resilient, intelligent and article at and | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
they're what to make a success of their lives. The aim is to build a | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
website to connect schools and students with the needs of some of | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
the most cutting edge comp knees in the country. You could get a very | :18:17. | :18:25. | |
fast`moving technology cluster and areas around it that are deprived. | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
We want to make sure that these two communities can grow together and | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
are connected. This is the hub of Tech City will stop it is home to | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
thousands of technology start`ups. They are all looking for the best | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
people. A lot of the challenges are solved by a very niche group of | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
people and if we can widen that to girls and people from different | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
backgrounds that would be great for the whole economy. Connecting Tech | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
City, as the project is called, needs to raise at least ?50,000 to | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
get the website started. It is counting on public donations to pay | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
for it through crowd funding. The West will be down to matching up the | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
success stories of the present with the success stories of the future. | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
Very exciting prospects around there. | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
The YMCA are backing a scheme which sees flat back homes built in | :19:22. | :19:30. | |
factories to tackle the housing crisis. This is a studio apartment | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
made for one person and dozens of them will be in place by the end of | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
the year. Each unit costs about ?30,000. | :19:40. | :19:41. | |
One of the country's leading theatre, film and television | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
directors is using his expertise for a new West End show which first | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
opened on Broadway 60 years ago. Richard Eyre is directing the The | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
Pyjama Game, and as the production opens, he's arguing that the | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
Government should spend less on weapons and defence and more on | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
making us all feel happy. Here's our entertainment correspondent, Brenda | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
Emmanus. Fellow union members, we're off! It | :20:08. | :20:16. | |
was the first musical he ever heard, now Richard Eyre is directing The | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
Pyjama Game, which is transferred to the West End. She played it over and | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
over and over again. It is launched in my memory. I have always nurtured | :20:28. | :20:40. | |
a desire to relive that memory. The director is one of the most | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
respected in the business with a string of awards affirming his | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
success. Despite his remarkable achievements he does confess to the | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
fact that he still worries about critics. I resent it, because I do | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
think, at my age, am I still worrying about it? It is approval, | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
you seek approval. On the other hand, if I didn't feel that, why | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
would I go on doing that? He took over as to Rector of the National | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
Theatre in 1987 when there was a prevailing feeling amongst the | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
critics that the arts were doomed. `` took over as director. There is a | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
feeling now that we are experiencing a renaissance. It is incredibly | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
lively. Just in the number of productions and the diversity of | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
productions and the amount of talent that's emerged. We have a new | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
Culture Minister in place, what should be the priority? I am always | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
amazed at how governments are so willing to spend money on weapons of | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
destruction, or what is called, sorry, defence, and not willing to | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
spend money on weapons of happiness, which is what all | :21:53. | :22:01. | |
cultural activities are. Film projects have also consumed | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
Richard's time. He is working on another next year, along with an | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
opera and a play. Downtime is rare but pleasurable. Do you trigger a | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
beer and watch soap operas? Not maybe soap opera, but maybe a box | :22:15. | :22:24. | |
set of The Killing or Breaking Bad, it is heaven. The Pyjama Game is | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
running at the Shaftesbury Theatre. I bring you good news for the | :22:31. | :22:43. | |
weather. It is going to get even better. We have seen the back of the | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
cold air, it is being pushed away. Instead we saw temperatures getting | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
up to 19 degrees. Over the next few days, even into the weekend, | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
temperatures will get even higher. We could be in the mid`20s this | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
weekend. Sunshine at times. Cloud around and because of that there may | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
well be chilly nights for a while. There is cloud coming down from the | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
north`west. All we have seen two day is just some fair weather cumulus | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
cloud. No sign of any storms. Overnight, spot the cloud, as there | :23:19. | :23:26. | |
is not going to be much at all. It could be quite chilly. In rural | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
areas, it will not be too far above freezing first thing will stop one | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
or two short lived mist and fog patches to the east of London, which | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
will not last long. A bright and sunny start. By the end of the | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
morning, the cloud comes from the north. There will be more than | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
today. Sunshine at times, but even though we have more clout we have | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
got this warmer air. Temperatures will be higher. About 21 Celsius in | :23:51. | :23:58. | |
London. On Friday, quite bright and sunny, Chile perhaps, Fairweather | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
cloud developing and spreading out a little bit. `` Chile perhaps. High | :24:03. | :24:10. | |
pressure is going to be with us for quite some time, even into the | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
weekend. There might just be one or two showers if it gets warm enough | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
on Saturday. The big changes are coming from the north`west. The | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
weather front not reaching us just yet. With high`pressure around you | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
will find the temperatures will continue to climb and over the | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
weekend it will feel particularly warm. We are looking at those | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
temperatures continuing to climb and looking ahead to Friday, Saturday | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
and Sunday. Some sunshine around with high cloud on Sunday to the | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
north and west of London. What a terrific forecast! | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
Before we go tonight, let's remind ourselves of tonight's main news | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
headlines. Three days of national mourning has | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
been declared in Turkey after more than 200 miners were killed in an | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
explosion and fire at a coal mine in the west of the country. A further | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
190 are thought to be still trapped inside. | :25:00. | :25:00. | |
Unemployment has fallen to its lowest level for five years ` down | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
to 6.8%. When it comes to interest rates, the Governor of the Bank of | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
England, Mark Carney, suggested they're likely to remain low for | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
some time. The number of Romanian and Bulgarian | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
nationals working in the UK since employment restrictions were lifted | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
in January has fallen. The figure has dropped by 4,000 since the last | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
quarter. The teenager, Stephen Sutton, whose | :25:25. | :25:26. | |
blog about his terminal cancer attracted hundreds of thousands of | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
followers on the internet, has died. Stephen's helped raise more than ?3 | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
million pounds for the Teenage Cancer Trust. | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
And a convicted sex offender from Peckham, who walked free from court, | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
could have sentence reviewed. `` his sentence reviewed. Timothy Storey | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
had groomed hundreds of children on Facebook. His case has been sent to | :25:50. | :25:51. | |
the Attorney`General. That's it for now. I'll be back | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
during the ten o'clock news on BBC One. I hope you can join me then. | :25:57. | :25:58. | |
For now, have a very good evening. Europe. A community of nations | :25:59. | :26:22. | |
which can do no wrong. A perfect brotherhood | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
in which we all share. | :26:28. | :26:31. |
