commemorations. We will take a tour of one of the

:00:52.:01:06.

Campaigners have claimed lives could be put at risk with the closure of

:01:13.:01:17.

They say neighbouring hospitals won't be able to cope when the

:01:18.:01:22.

emergency units at Hammersmith and Central Middlesex shut in September.

:01:23.:01:28.

It comes as NHS bosses have admitted they'll have to use beds usually

:01:29.:01:31.

used for the winter health crisis to treat the influx of patients.

:01:32.:01:37.

But they insist no changes are being made that put patients at risk.

:01:38.:01:40.

GPs, support your patience. Despite the chanting, the change is on the

:01:41.:02:02.

way for West London hospitals. Four out of mine Accident Emergency

:02:03.:02:05.

departments are to be shot or downgraded. Those at Ealing and

:02:06.:02:08.

chattering Cross will lose some services, and those at Hammersmith

:02:09.:02:13.

and Central Middlesex will shut. At the moment, the Accident Emergency

:02:14.:02:17.

at Hammersmith Hospital sees around 20,000 patients each year. Around

:02:18.:02:22.

one third of those are admitted to the hospital. From September the

:02:23.:02:26.

10th, the ambulances will be going elsewhere, mainly to Saint May is in

:02:27.:02:33.

Paddington. The NHS estimates 25 ambulances each day will divert,

:02:34.:02:36.

with 15 patients diverted to the urgent care centre at Hammersmith.

:02:37.:02:41.

It says 15 patients a day will have to be admitted that papers from the

:02:42.:02:45.

board meeting of Imperial College health care savour the current

:02:46.:02:48.

capacity at Saint Mary's hospital for acute admissions is already at

:02:49.:02:54.

maximum utilisation. It goes on to say additional capacity is central

:02:57.:03:03.

the closure of the emergency unit. That has worried the local council

:03:04.:03:08.

leader, newly elected last week. He even mentioned the hospital

:03:09.:03:13.

reorganisations in his first speech. People of Hammersmith Fulham tell

:03:14.:03:19.

you, hands off our hospital. We cannot have bureaucrats sitting in

:03:20.:03:21.

offices making these decisions, putting lives at risk and taking no

:03:22.:03:26.

notice of the electoral mandate that has been given to Hammersmith

:03:27.:03:30.

Fulham. People have spoken. The evidence is not there. They promised

:03:31.:03:34.

decisions will be made on the clinical basis. That is not how it

:03:35.:03:37.

is being done and it does not inspire confidence in her or her

:03:38.:03:43.

team. But NHS bosses say the move is safe. The staff, they say, are in

:03:44.:03:49.

place. In each case, we are moving small teams of doctors managing

:03:50.:03:55.

Accident Emergency to a larger unit to provide better care over 24

:03:56.:03:58.

hours a day, which is much better for the patient. But campaigners are

:03:59.:04:03.

calling for an urgent meeting with the boss of the local hospitals.

:04:04.:04:05.

There's still lots more to come this evening, including:

:04:06.:04:07.

Court action ` the tennis hopeful from south London

:04:08.:04:10.

taking a race discrimination case ` against the game's governing body.

:04:11.:04:22.

The Mayor is facing criticism for approving plans to extend

:04:23.:04:24.

the Westfield Shopping Centre in west London.

:04:25.:04:29.

It's said the billion`pound development will create thousands of

:04:30.:04:31.

But critics say the expansion doesn't include enough

:04:32.:04:39.

More on this from Tim Donovan, who's in Shepherd's Bush.

:04:40.:04:52.

Westfield is at the centre of an area between Shepherd's Bush and

:04:53.:04:58.

White city, where everyone wants to see regeneration, more jobs and

:04:59.:05:03.

homes. It is an area where the mayor offers a dispensation. Whereas he

:05:04.:05:09.

hopes to see 40% affordable homes in developments across London, here, he

:05:10.:05:14.

says 15% would be OK. But Westfield came short even of that. Ever since

:05:15.:05:21.

their first place was opened by the air, they have transformed the

:05:22.:05:26.

shopping scene in London. Now, Westfield is expanding north at

:05:27.:05:31.

Shepherd's Bush. More shops and also new homes. Flats, but not the right

:05:32.:05:37.

kind, according to the local MP. I hope we can persuade or insist that

:05:38.:05:41.

Westfield go back and look at this. If they are going to be a good

:05:42.:05:44.

neighbour they ought to think about not just the people who shop there,

:05:45.:05:49.

but the people who live there. The mayor gave the final seal of

:05:50.:05:53.

approval to the extension. It will mean more than 1300 homes. Just over

:05:54.:06:00.

160 defined as an affordable, 12%, below even the already reduced

:06:01.:06:05.

target of 15% for the area. On paper, there should have been 200

:06:06.:06:10.

affordable homes. Westfield are going to build 40 fewer than that.

:06:11.:06:14.

They have also been allowed to get around another planning rule. The

:06:15.:06:17.

Mayor's London plan requires that of the affordable housing, 60% is meant

:06:18.:06:23.

to be for social or affordable rent, and the remaining 40% is

:06:24.:06:28.

intermediate, part by, part rent. Westfield have managed to flip that

:06:29.:06:32.

around, meaning they are being allowed to build fewer homes for

:06:33.:06:36.

subsidised rent. It should be at least 50%. There is not much

:06:37.:06:44.

affordable housing. 5% affordable rent. Disgusting. Not ideal, is it?

:06:45.:06:52.

It is not helping anyone, really. Westfield said it was the best they

:06:53.:06:54.

could do in the current economic climate. There had been an

:06:55.:06:59.

independent assessment of what was viable, they said. Although the

:07:00.:07:04.

mayor was unavailable, City Hall defended the deal. It depends on the

:07:05.:07:09.

cost. This is an extremely expensive site to build on and the main

:07:10.:07:14.

advantage is jobs. We weigh up jobs and housing in the balance when we

:07:15.:07:18.

make these decisions, but it is about the overall economic benefit

:07:19.:07:22.

to the city. Thousands of new jobs are promised here, with a new John

:07:23.:07:26.

Lewis store being the major attraction. But questions about big

:07:27.:07:31.

developments and big profits, and whether the mayor has `` secured a

:07:32.:07:34.

big enough quantity of affordable homes. Of course, the mayor has a

:07:35.:07:40.

strong relationship with Westfield, a close partnership during the

:07:41.:07:44.

Olympics when they opened their second successful store in

:07:45.:07:47.

some credit for attracting them to some credit for attracting them to

:07:48.:07:51.

open another store in future in Croydon, but it has not enabled him

:07:52.:07:57.

to get more housing here. The new Labour Administration who took

:07:58.:08:00.

control of the town Hall last week might look at this again, and they

:08:01.:08:04.

might see if there are any legal avenues to try and raise the amount

:08:05.:08:15.

of affordable homes here. Two people have been arrested on suspicion of

:08:16.:08:19.

murder after the death of a one`year`old girl. Police were

:08:20.:08:22.

alerted by staff at Saint Peters Hospital after the toddler was

:08:23.:08:26.

admitted with serious injuries on Wednesday before being transferred

:08:27.:08:29.

to Saint George's Hospital in tooting. A 35`year`old man and a

:08:30.:08:34.

24`year`old woman are being held in police custody.

:08:35.:08:39.

The Metropolitan Police have stopped an officer leaving his job so he can

:08:40.:08:42.

face disciplinary proceedings of a death in custody. PC Andrew Birks is

:08:43.:08:48.

being investigated over the death of 40`year`old Sean Rigg at Brixton

:08:49.:08:53.

police station six years ago. The force had originally accepted his

:08:54.:08:57.

resignation was asked to reconsider by the Independent Police Complaints

:08:58.:09:00.

Commission. A violent robber from north London

:09:01.:09:04.

has become the latest criminal to abscond from an open prison.

:09:05.:09:09.

37`year`old Simon Rhodes`Butler went missing from a prison in West

:09:10.:09:13.

Sussex. He was two and a half years into a sentence for robbery in South

:09:14.:09:18.

Norwood. Police have warned the public not to approach him.

:09:19.:09:23.

A doctor in Haringey has been struck off the medical register for

:09:24.:09:27.

agreeing to help to arrange female genital mutilation. Doctor

:09:28.:09:30.

name`macro told an undercover reporter that he could arrange the

:09:31.:09:35.

illegal surgery for two young girls. A tribunal said he abused his

:09:36.:09:47.

position. Advertising his private surgery in

:09:48.:09:51.

Haringey. In 2012 he was filmed by an undercover reporter posing as an

:09:52.:09:56.

aunt who wanted nieces to be circumcised. He was filmed giving

:09:57.:09:59.

advice on how to arrange the procedure. Today he was struck off

:10:00.:10:04.

the medical register after a tribunal found him unfit to

:10:05.:10:09.

practice. It said he had abused his position as a doctor and had shown

:10:10.:10:12.

he was willing to exploit two vulnerable children. It said it

:10:13.:10:16.

could not be confident that there would not be a repetition of similar

:10:17.:10:19.

misconduct if he were to continue practising. Female genital

:10:20.:10:25.

mutilation is classed as torture by the United Nations and has been

:10:26.:10:28.

illegal here for almost 30 years. Two months ago we spoke to one woman

:10:29.:10:33.

about the impact the practice had had on her. As I was lying there

:10:34.:10:39.

struggling, fighting for my life, because that is how I felt, I could

:10:40.:10:43.

not breathe, could not do it any more. I can never describe the pain.

:10:44.:10:49.

It is not something I have any words for. It is estimated 20,000 girls in

:10:50.:10:55.

the UK are at risk of the practice, and a recent BBC investigation found

:10:56.:11:00.

that almost 4000 FGM patients have been treated in London since 2009.

:11:01.:11:05.

The Crown Prosecution Service looked at this case in 2012 but found there

:11:06.:11:09.

was not enough evidence to support a prosecution. It said the

:11:10.:11:14.

journalist's evidence was insufficient and when the doctor's

:11:15.:11:17.

computer was searched there was no sign he was involved in the

:11:18.:11:21.

practice. The campaigners, this ruling is welcome but it has

:11:22.:11:27.

concerning implications. Doctors and medical professionals are very

:11:28.:11:31.

respected in these communities. So it will enhance the legitimisation

:11:32.:11:36.

of the practice. We expect them to be at the forefront in trying to

:11:37.:11:40.

prevent it. The General Medical Council hopes the decision will send

:11:41.:11:44.

a strong and clear signal that FGM will not be tolerated.

:11:45.:11:52.

A retired Metropolitan Police offers from Hounslow has been accused of

:11:53.:11:56.

indecently assaulting a teenage boy in police custody 27 years ago. He

:11:57.:12:03.

served 30 years with the force and has previously sued the Metropolitan

:12:04.:12:06.

Police for racial discrimination. Today, he denied all allegations

:12:07.:12:11.

against him. Leaving court this morning, his case

:12:12.:12:15.

now referred to the Crown Court, where he will answer charges that he

:12:16.:12:19.

indecently assaulted a 15`year`old boy in 1986. He joined The Met in

:12:20.:12:26.

1982. It is alleged he attacked the child while he was in police custody

:12:27.:12:31.

at the Old Bailey, which he strenuously denies. His Camille was

:12:32.:12:35.

marred by allegations of racial discrimination. He was wrongly

:12:36.:12:40.

accused of sending race hate mail to black and Asian officers. After

:12:41.:12:48.

receiving an apology and if they raise their head above the parapet,

:12:49.:12:52.

they are targeted, disciplined, criminalised and given bad

:12:53.:12:59.

publicity. He rejoined The Met and received compensation after being

:13:00.:13:03.

passed over for promotion. In total, he has received ?300,000 in damages.

:13:04.:13:09.

Since retiring in 2012 after 30 years, he was honoured as an Olympic

:13:10.:13:12.

torch bearer during the relay leading up to the London games. And

:13:13.:13:17.

just last week he was elected as an independent councillor in Hounslow.

:13:18.:13:21.

He stood for the Labour Party but they suspended him pending the

:13:22.:13:26.

outcome of the court case. He looked relaxed here today and he smiled at

:13:27.:13:29.

times as he was given unconditional bail. Asked if he wanted to make any

:13:30.:13:33.

comment, his defence counsel said he completely denies the allegations

:13:34.:13:37.

and looks forward to receiving the full evidence and having his day in

:13:38.:13:43.

court. He will now appear at Southwark Crown Court on June 12 to

:13:44.:13:44.

hear the full charges against him. Still to come before the end

:13:45.:13:54.

of the programme: We're on board the Royal Navy's

:13:55.:13:56.

flagship, moored in London, ahead House prices in London went up

:13:57.:13:59.

by nearly 7% in the past year, meaning the average property here

:14:00.:14:07.

now costs more than ?400,000. The figures come from the

:14:08.:14:12.

Land Registry. But a group of residents in

:14:13.:14:14.

Waltham Forest have managed to find a way around the spiralling costs

:14:15.:14:17.

of buying a home. Meet John Struthers, father of

:14:18.:14:33.

three, building surveyor and the skipper of this project. Unwilling

:14:34.:14:38.

to wait ten years for a bigger house for his family, he decided to take

:14:39.:14:43.

matters into his own hands and build it himself, recruiting eight other

:14:44.:14:47.

families along the way. We convinced people to help build their own homes

:14:48.:14:54.

and turn it round and rent it. You actually have to find a particular

:14:55.:14:56.

sort of person, or group of families, who really want to get up

:14:57.:15:03.

and help themselves. And these are the local like`minded families who

:15:04.:15:06.

have signed up with him. The heavy lifting is being done by qualified

:15:07.:15:10.

builders but the families themselves will have to entirely fit, paint and

:15:11.:15:14.

decorate their own homes. We've learned all sorts. Tiling, flooring,

:15:15.:15:24.

plastering, painting. So, yeah, I tell my family these days not to

:15:25.:15:26.

call a builder because they've got one here! And nobody will be moving

:15:27.:15:32.

in before all the houses are finished. I feel it is very

:15:33.:15:36.

important because at the end of the day, we came together as a group and

:15:37.:15:40.

because we're going to be working on each other's houses, we want it to

:15:41.:15:45.

be just the same standard for all of us. Once they move in, the homes

:15:46.:15:49.

will be owned by the housing association, to which they will pay

:15:50.:15:54.

an affordable rent. They've shown a remarkable dedication and given up

:15:55.:15:57.

evenings and weekends and will continue doing that for the rest of

:15:58.:16:01.

the year. There are a lot of brown field sites in London and there is

:16:02.:16:05.

ideal opportunity for the likes of companies like ourselves to get

:16:06.:16:09.

involved so that we can eat away at the burden of housing in London. If

:16:10.:16:14.

all goes according to plan, the self builders hope to move in by the

:16:15.:16:18.

beginning of next year, bringing with them their ready`made

:16:19.:16:19.

community. Now for tennis,

:16:20.:16:28.

boxing and football news ` all A young mixed`race tennis player

:16:29.:16:30.

from Croydon has been given the right to sue

:16:31.:16:34.

the sport's governing body, claiming his career is being damaged

:16:35.:16:36.

by ongoing race discrimination. 18`year`old Issac Stoute says white

:16:37.:16:39.

players with lower rankings are being favoured over him by the

:16:40.:16:41.

Lawn Tennis Association. After a long legal battle,

:16:42.:16:44.

the High Court has said the LTA does have a case to answer,

:16:45.:16:47.

Piers Hopkirk reports. Isaac Stoute practising today under

:16:48.:17:02.

the watchful eye of his father. Now, though, he's serving legal papers,

:17:03.:17:07.

suing the lawn tennis association for discrimination. For me

:17:08.:17:12.

personally, it is about the other kids who also get racially

:17:13.:17:15.

discriminated against and don't stand up and say anything. I know of

:17:16.:17:19.

many players who have had similar issues and nothing's happened with

:17:20.:17:23.

them in the past so I felt it was my place to do something. Isaac is the

:17:24.:17:29.

top`rated under 18 player in Kent but he and his family claim that

:17:30.:17:33.

tennis's governing body as stifled his career, noting lower rank

:17:34.:17:39.

players ahead of him. I believe that if you have the talent, you should

:17:40.:17:42.

be able to get through the sport no matter what. You should be hindered

:17:43.:17:48.

by the organisation or a lack of funding or bigoted views. `` you

:17:49.:17:52.

shouldn't be hindered. It should be down to simply talent. The LTA says

:17:53.:17:56.

it strongly refuse the accusations, adding: `` refutes.

:17:57.:18:08.

Isaac Stoute's battle for success has centred here on the tennis

:18:09.:18:15.

courts but now his focus must switch to the law courts.

:18:16.:18:19.

Now on to THAT boxing match at Wembley Stadium tomorrow night.

:18:20.:18:22.

Earlier today Carl Froch and George Groves weighed in,

:18:23.:18:24.

in front thousands of fight fans, ahead of their Super Middleweight

:18:25.:18:27.

Hammersmith challenger Groves weighed in at 11 stone 12 pounds

:18:28.:18:32.

and 4 ounces, over a pound less than double world champion Froch.

:18:33.:18:35.

The sell`out fight is expected to attract a record breaking crowd

:18:36.:18:39.

On to football and following Arsenal's FA Cup triumph,

:18:40.:18:48.

Manager Arsene Wenger has signed a new contract.

:18:49.:18:50.

The three`year deal will keep the 64`year`old at the Emirates

:18:51.:18:53.

It means the Frenchman's time in charge of

:18:54.:18:59.

the north London club will last 21 years, after he first joined 1996.

:19:00.:19:06.

Staying with Arsenal, their Ladies side play in Sunday's FA Cup Final

:19:07.:19:09.

against Everton, but the match comes at a difficult time for the Gunners.

:19:10.:19:13.

They're at the bottom of the Women's Super League and

:19:14.:19:15.

their manager Shelley Kerr will step down from her role after the final.

:19:16.:19:19.

The players have said they're driven to win for their departing boss.

:19:20.:19:23.

Sunday's game is live on BBC Two at 4.30pm.

:19:24.:19:34.

Now on to rugby and a retiring fans' favourite.

:19:35.:19:36.

Former England captain Steve Borthwick will lead out

:19:37.:19:38.

Saracens in the Aviva Premiership Final against Northampton Saints

:19:39.:19:40.

After the club lost the Heineken Cup final against Toulon last week,

:19:41.:19:44.

tomorrow's match is Borthwick's last chance to lead

:19:45.:19:46.

They've got men all across. During 16 years in the game, Steve

:19:47.:20:01.

Borthwick has enjoyed plenty of highs. An amazing sport. Whether you

:20:02.:20:07.

earn money for it or not, it's a privilege. To be involved with this

:20:08.:20:10.

great club and to play ten seasons at Bath, that's a... I mean, who

:20:11.:20:19.

wouldn't bite your hand off to take that? As well as the good times,

:20:20.:20:23.

there have been plenty of bumps and bruises along the way. I'm not going

:20:24.:20:29.

to answer your question because I answered it once a couple of years

:20:30.:20:38.

ago and there was a problem! Last Saturday, Saracens were beaten by

:20:39.:20:43.

Jonny Wilkinson's Toulon in the Heineken Cup final in Wilkinson's

:20:44.:20:46.

penultimate match before retirement. Tomorrow is the perfect

:20:47.:20:51.

chance for Saracens to fight back and with Borthwick, they feel they

:20:52.:20:54.

have the perfect leader. He's led the team for six seasons and has

:20:55.:21:00.

been integral to everything that's happened at the club to progress.

:21:01.:21:08.

But just on a pure playing side, he just brings such confidence in the

:21:09.:21:11.

rest of the group and I think that's the key thing. What will I miss most

:21:12.:21:21.

about playing? Every morning one of my colleagues has a new ridiculous

:21:22.:21:26.

idea for me! I sent him off to see the coaches to see if he can get it

:21:27.:21:33.

through. Now to see if any of those great ideas can translate into

:21:34.:21:36.

premiership glory over Northampton tomorrow.

:21:37.:21:40.

And there's full commentary of Saracens against

:21:43.:21:45.

20,000 tonnes of the Royal Navy's finest ship has sailed into

:21:46.:22:05.

Greenwich to give Londoners the chance to have a good nose around.

:22:06.:22:08.

HMS Bulwark has come to London ahead of a journey to Normandy next week,

:22:09.:22:11.

when it will take part in D`Day commemorations.

:22:12.:22:13.

Emma North has been on the ship all day.

:22:14.:22:18.

Let's hear from her now. There is very little that HMS

:22:19.:22:27.

Bulwark cannot do. She can send out boats, she can send out military

:22:28.:22:31.

vehicles, she can send out helicopters. But for the next three

:22:32.:22:35.

or four days, she is right here in London.

:22:36.:22:39.

There is no missing Greenwich Park back row latest guest and this is

:22:40.:22:43.

what Byrd and those on board got up to yesterday. Demonstrating their

:22:44.:22:50.

power in a suspect boat parade. By all accounts, the neighbours weren't

:22:51.:22:55.

too pleased. There were 328 people permanently stationed on board Byrd

:22:56.:23:00.

and if they need to, they can add a further 500 or 600 and read. In the

:23:01.:23:04.

case of a follow that duration, there is space for more than 2000

:23:05.:23:10.

people. This is, they say, what makes Byrd so special. The whole

:23:11.:23:15.

ship can be tilted more than 7 degrees. It floods the vehicle deck,

:23:16.:23:19.

turning it into a dock for landing craft. It's a strange feeling when

:23:20.:23:23.

you are effectively flooding your ship but we do it in a controlled

:23:24.:23:26.

manner and to see all the moving parts and how it is all orchestrated

:23:27.:23:32.

is quite moving to see. Bishop is in London to celebrate the anniversary

:23:33.:23:35.

of the Marines, who have worked in the smallest spaces. It gets very

:23:36.:23:41.

cramped but we all work hard to stay out of each other's way. Everyone is

:23:42.:23:45.

surprisingly polite, for Marines, anyway, and you get used to it. Do

:23:46.:23:51.

you get used to having so little personal space? You do eventually

:23:52.:23:56.

but it still wears you out a little bit. It gets annoying. Especially

:23:57.:24:01.

when 24 of you are trying to get ready for a night out. Everyone

:24:02.:24:06.

starts spraying their aftershave and Cologne at once and it forms of vile

:24:07.:24:09.

concoction in here. It's quite horrible really. Next Tuesday, HMS

:24:10.:24:15.

Bulwark will leave, first for Southsea and Ben Normandy, where she

:24:16.:24:21.

will lead a D`day 70th anniversary service. Until then, she will keep a

:24:22.:24:25.

close guard on Greenwich. All the tickets that were on sale

:24:26.:24:30.

for private civilian tours of HMS Bulwark have now sold out but the

:24:31.:24:33.

Royal Navy say you can come down anyway. There will be plenty to do

:24:34.:24:37.

and, with a ship of this size, plenty to see.

:24:38.:24:42.

I will definitely be taking a look this. Thanks very much.

:24:43.:24:46.

Let's take a look at the weather now.

:24:47.:24:52.

In the centre of London it was a bit on the cloudy side but that isn't

:24:53.:24:55.

the case in the whole of the region because there was some brighter

:24:56.:24:59.

weather to be found. The cloud was extensive first thing but it did

:25:00.:25:04.

move away from the east and the South but across central London, it

:25:05.:25:08.

did stay on the cloudy side. Cloudy but essentially a dry day with light

:25:09.:25:13.

winds and they stay light and we keep dry through the evening. Notice

:25:14.:25:17.

the clear skies across the eastern side. Temperatures are going to drop

:25:18.:25:21.

away through the small hours of the morning and maybe some transient

:25:22.:25:25.

mist and fog, which won't last too long. Temperatures will slip away

:25:26.:25:28.

into single figures, so quite chilly for some, but where you keep the

:25:29.:25:32.

cloud further west, temperatures hold up into double figures.

:25:33.:25:36.

Tomorrow looks like a reasonable start to the weekend with dry

:25:37.:25:39.

weather and reasonable bright spells. If you are poorly you should

:25:40.:25:44.

season sunshine but cloud amounts will increase as the day goes on.

:25:45.:25:48.

Still the clouds could break and there will be brighter weather

:25:49.:25:51.

creeping through. The winds are still light and it will be warmer

:25:52.:25:57.

than today. Easily up to 19 or 20 in the centre of town and I think it

:25:58.:26:01.

will feel quite pleasant despite the cloud coming and going. The London

:26:02.:26:06.

triathlon is taking place over the next couple of days and the Brownlie

:26:07.:26:10.

brothers will be out tomorrow. You can catch live action on BBC One.

:26:11.:26:15.

Plans for Saturday night? Well, the weather won't get in your way. It

:26:16.:26:19.

stays essentially dry. Maybe a shower to the north of London but in

:26:20.:26:24.

town, a reasonable evening. Into the second part of the weekend, weather

:26:25.:26:27.

fronts to the north`west of the UK won't bother us. We will see bright

:26:28.:26:33.

spells around but cloud amounts are likely to increase and there could

:26:34.:26:36.

be one or two microlight showers on Sunday afternoon. We've seen a lot

:26:37.:26:41.

worse as we can scope. Saturday looks like a decent day with sunny

:26:42.:26:46.

spells, 20 degrees. Maybe up to 21 on Sunday despite extra cloud. More

:26:47.:26:48.

unsettled over the next week. Before we go, a reminder

:26:49.:26:53.

of tonight's main news headlines: There's been a big rise in number of

:26:54.:26:56.

migrants reaching Europe illegally. Many taking treacherous sea routes

:26:57.:26:59.

from North Africa, risking their lives in makeshift boats, come in

:27:00.:27:01.

the hope of a better life. CAR HORN BLARES

:27:02.:27:18.

Whoa! HE GASPS

:27:19.:28:00.

Driving parents crazy. You have to tell the police

:28:01.:28:06.

whatever it is that you know.
