back with the late news. Now on BBC One it's time for the news where you

:00:00.:00:00.

are. Bye for now. Good evening and welcome to the

:00:00.:00:19.

programme. Police have launched a murder investigation after a body

:00:20.:00:23.

was found in a flat fire in New Barnet. Antonio James Tammaso was

:00:24.:00:38.

found in his home on Potters Road on Thursday. The Met have released a

:00:39.:00:41.

picture of this petrol can, and are appealing for anyone with

:00:42.:00:43.

information to come forward. Part of North London turned red

:00:44.:00:46.

today in honour of Arsenal winning the FA Cup. Thousands packed the

:00:47.:00:49.

streets from the stadium, through Highbury to the town hall. Jean

:00:50.:00:51.

Mackenzie joined them. # You're having a laugh

:00:52.:00:55.

# Specialists in failure # You're having a laugh #.

:00:56.:00:58.

There was no talk of failure today as thousands packed on to the

:00:59.:01:01.

streets of Islington to cheer their team and its trophy. For Arsenal

:01:02.:01:05.

fans, this has been a long wait. For Michelle, the timing was spot on.

:01:06.:01:08.

I've always been an Arsenal fan. My parents always have been. We decided

:01:09.:01:12.

to come back and visit this year. We have been away for 40 years. I'm

:01:13.:01:15.

lucky enough that they were able to win yesterday. So, this is

:01:16.:01:18.

wonderful. Others didn't need to travel quite so far. And points for

:01:19.:01:22.

effort go to Jamie, who wouldn't let broken bones stop him from bringing

:01:23.:01:27.

his son. He's seven`years`old now. We have waited nine years for this.

:01:28.:01:31.

And my dad brought me when I was younger, so, yes, I thought I'd do

:01:32.:01:34.

that, so we have come from Chelmsford to see them. Hopefully,

:01:35.:01:40.

is that them coming now? After a nerve`racking evening, this

:01:41.:01:48.

was a moment fans could enjoy. All the players are like. Excellent.

:01:49.:01:54.

What does this mean for you guys? She is a big Arsenal fan like her

:01:55.:01:58.

dad. It's the first of many, hopefully. I have been waiting to

:01:59.:02:02.

take her for many years. Today is a special day for us, definitely.

:02:03.:02:04.

Absolutely. Brings the place together, doesn't it? Yes.

:02:05.:02:11.

# Oh Santi Cazorla #. This is the first one with the

:02:12.:02:14.

grandkids? First one with the grandkids, so I'm chuffed.

:02:15.:02:16.

Absolutely chuffed with them. You can see this means much more than

:02:17.:02:20.

just a football match and everything like that. A great day, a great day.

:02:21.:02:26.

Whatever their view of the celebrations, for Arsenal fans, this

:02:27.:02:29.

afternoon was close to perfect. I fly from Grenada just to see the

:02:30.:02:35.

final. We love it. This is my son, he loves Arsenal. And we say we will

:02:36.:02:39.

win again next year. Hello to everybody in Grenada. You all should

:02:40.:02:43.

be in England. Up the Arsenal! Up the Arsenal. Everybody.

:02:44.:02:47.

A`r`s`e`n`a`l! A`r`s`e`n`a`l! A`r`s`e`n`a`l!

:02:48.:02:57.

Ignore Russell Brand and vote! That's the message to young

:02:58.:03:00.

Londoners as we face just one year until the next general election. A

:03:01.:03:05.

charity in the capital says the famous comedian was wrong to

:03:06.:03:07.

discourage young voters recently. And says getting politicians to take

:03:08.:03:10.

to Twitter, and other new media, is the way to engage them. The campaign

:03:11.:03:14.

has won the support of some famous backers. Here's Charlotte Franks.

:03:15.:03:16.

College Green. It's opposite the Palace of Westminster and it's the

:03:17.:03:19.

place where everybody hears about what is happening in politics. But

:03:20.:03:23.

this isn't the only place to find out what's been discussed in the

:03:24.:03:26.

political world. A new wave of young activists are trying to get us to

:03:27.:03:30.

talk about it on social media and they want politicians to do the

:03:31.:03:31.

same. 50% of young Londoners in our survey

:03:32.:03:38.

have told us that they would like politicians to talk about their

:03:39.:03:40.

manifestos and policy promises on Twitter, so in 140 characters, on

:03:41.:03:47.

YouTube and Instagram. If all the parties deliver their election

:03:48.:03:49.

promises in this way, 42% would be more likely to vote. Sophie and Emma

:03:50.:03:55.

feel disengaged with what goes on inside the House of Commons. If a

:03:56.:04:05.

politician tweets, it might not have to be specifically about politics.

:04:06.:04:08.

It could be about what they are doing in the day. It really makes

:04:09.:04:12.

you feel like they are more human, like we all are. I think the

:04:13.:04:15.

politicians could really get involved in the platforms that young

:04:16.:04:18.

people use. I'm here to tell you that I always vote... The

:04:19.:04:20.

campaigners have been calling on well`known celebrities to back them

:04:21.:04:23.

and they have also been asking young people what would make them vote.

:04:24.:04:27.

Out in College Green, we found more willing participants. It's not the

:04:28.:04:29.

first time politicians have tried to engage with young people. Keith Hill

:04:30.:04:32.

was closely involved in trying to encourage young Londoners to vote.

:04:33.:04:37.

So, will it work? If you actually understand the issues that they care

:04:38.:04:40.

about, and then use social media to highlight those issues and why it is

:04:41.:04:43.

important to vote, then I think actually you will see an impact.

:04:44.:04:46.

Those behind the campaign hope that politicians take them up on their

:04:47.:04:54.

social media challenge. Right, let's take a quick look at

:04:55.:04:57.

tomorrow's weather with Sara Thornton.

:04:58.:05:01.

Good evening. With temperatures today in excess of 24 Celsius, it

:05:02.:05:05.

was the warmest day of 2014 so far and it's not over. Another lovely

:05:06.:05:08.

day in prospect for tomorrow. Very warm again and dry with good spells

:05:09.:05:12.

of sunshine, but a slow slide as we go through this week to something

:05:13.:05:15.

cooler and more unsettled. But not tomorrow. Plenty of sunshine

:05:16.:05:17.

tomorrow, some fair`weather cloud at times. Always a bit cooler towards

:05:18.:05:20.

the east because of the south`easterly breeze there. As you

:05:21.:05:22.

can see, a top temperature in central London of 24 or 25 again, 77

:05:23.:05:26.

in Fahrenheit. A little bit cloudier, a little bit cooler as we

:05:27.:05:29.

go through Tuesday. That cloud building as we go through the

:05:30.:05:32.

afternoon. The risk of some showers later on in the day. Still very warm

:05:33.:05:36.

for the time of year, though, 23 in central London. And cooler still on

:05:37.:05:39.

Wednesday, but still above average. There will be showers from Wednesday

:05:40.:05:42.

onwards and, as you can see, there will be some sunshine as well.

:05:43.:05:44.

Bye`bye. That's it. I'll be back later just

:05:45.:05:50.

after 10.20pm. Until then, enjoy the rest of your weekend. Goodbye.

:05:51.:06:09.

St James Park and Sheffield both hit 25 Celsius this afternoon. That

:06:10.:06:16.

gives us our warmest day in nearly nine months, since 5th September

:06:17.:06:20.

2013. It goes without saying that it is going to be a warm night. Look

:06:21.:06:24.

out for some showers clipping into eastern Scotland. Some of those

:06:25.:06:28.

could be heavy. Still some patchy rain for western Scotland. More

:06:29.:06:32.

persistent rain returning to Northern Ireland by the end of the

:06:33.:06:36.

night. Showers across Mid and North Wales. Temperatures no lower than 13

:06:37.:06:41.

degrees. We start Monday on a much more positive footing across western

:06:42.:06:45.

Scotland. Much drier than it has been through the weekend. Showers in

:06:46.:06:48.

the North East. Showers around for Northern Ireland. Brighter spells

:06:49.:06:51.

possible, too. Showers during the first part of the day for North

:06:52.:06:55.

Wales. One or two briefly glancing across the North West of England and

:06:56.:07:00.

a few for the Isle of Man. For England and Wales, still on

:07:01.:07:01.
