cooler through the weekend, but the weather is looking pretty good for

:00:00.:00:00.

most of us. That is it from us, goodbye, time

:00:00.:00:00.

for the news where you are. officers dedicated to rooting out

wife. I'm in Bethnal Green, one of the areas where firefighters strike

:00:33.:00:36.

is taking place across London, just as there is a warning that the

:00:37.:00:39.

number of fires actually gods up during the World Cup. And hoping for

:00:40.:00:45.

glory in Brazil, we profile the World Cup stars from London teams.

:00:46.:01:09.

control. Scotland Yard a decade ago.

:01:10.:01:11.

We obtained documents that showed how drug deals, armed robberies

:01:12.:01:15.

and even contract killings were carried out in the full knowledge

:01:16.:01:18.

of serving police officers. Today,

:01:19.:01:21.

the Met Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan`Howe and the Deputy M`yor for

:01:22.:01:27.

Policing presented a united front in their fight against corrtption.

:01:28.:01:29.

Here's our Home Affairs Correspondent, Guy Smith.

:01:30.:01:31.

The men responsible for heading up Scotland Yard.

:01:32.:01:33.

One politician, the other Britain's top cop.

:01:34.:01:37.

Today at a photo shoot to t`lk about successful police seizures

:01:38.:01:42.

of an insured vehicles. But also another opportunitx to

:01:43.:01:45.

explain to Londoners whether the Met is still corrupt.

:01:46.:01:49.

We can't be clear there is absolutely no corruption,

:01:50.:01:53.

but we have well over 100 officers dedicated to rooting out crhminal

:01:54.:01:56.

offices where they are. There are relatively few,

:01:57.:01:59.

but we do employ thousands of people and it's entirely possible

:02:00.:02:03.

people are acting improper. Last night, BBC London reve`led

:02:04.:02:07.

the scale of police corrupthon in North and East London a dec`de ago.

:02:08.:02:11.

We found that a secret Scotland Yard unit had identified 42 servhng

:02:12.:02:16.

officers as corrupt. 19 ex`officers and the same

:02:17.:02:19.

number of career criminals linked to eight major crime syndic`tes

:02:20.:02:24.

The report, produced in 2002, was a disturbing account of drug

:02:25.:02:27.

deals, armed robberies and contract killings, carried out in thd full

:02:28.:02:34.

knowledge of corrupt detecthves It told us

:02:35.:02:37.

about how important court c`ses failed, about police operathons

:02:38.:02:42.

and techniques being betraydd. And the fact none

:02:43.:02:44.

of the crime syndicates had been seriously disrupted then showed how

:02:45.:02:50.

effective the criminals werd. It still unclear ten years

:02:51.:02:53.

on how many individuals the Met has prosecuted.

:02:54.:02:57.

I asked the Met commissioner if he had got a grip on corruption.

:02:58.:03:01.

Of course there was a report in 2002 about corruption in thd Met.

:03:02.:03:04.

There was action taken then and we continue to take acthon now.

:03:05.:03:08.

It's vital we maintain the confidence of the public

:03:09.:03:11.

in the British police service of and in particular the Met.

:03:12.:03:14.

Do you feel confident in thd leaders of Scotland Yard now, that they are

:03:15.:03:17.

telling you the truth, that they have got a grip on corruption?

:03:18.:03:20.

I'm confident they take this issue incredibly seriously.

:03:21.:03:23.

You can see in the appointmdnt of a commissioner who is dedicated

:03:24.:03:29.

at looking at these historic cases, so we can prepare

:03:30.:03:32.

for the public enquiry that has been announced by the Home Secretary

:03:33.:03:35.

And that judge`led public enquiry will be into Stephen Lawrence's

:03:36.:03:36.

murder. A recent review of the inithal

:03:37.:03:47.

investigation into who killdd the teenager found reasonable grounds to

:03:48.:03:54.

suspect corruption. Coming tp later... The capital's first dental

:03:55.:04:01.

hospital in 40 years opens hts doors, training the next generation

:04:02.:04:04.

of dentists and transforming patients lives.

:04:05.:04:11.

Firefighters across London are taking part

:04:12.:04:14.

in a 24`hour strike over a row with the Government over pensions.

:04:15.:04:17.

The walk`out is the longest strike yet in the three`year dispute,

:04:18.:04:19.

and coincides with the start of the World Cup in Brazil.

:04:20.:04:23.

It comes as London Fire Brigade has called for people to order takeaways

:04:24.:04:25.

during the tournament to avoid cooking after drinking alcohol.

:04:26.:04:30.

Tarah Welsh is at Bethnal Green Fire Station with more on this.

:04:31.:04:40.

This dispute is ongoing. It's all about the Government wanting to

:04:41.:04:46.

raise the age that firefighters can retire, from 55 to 60 years old It

:04:47.:04:52.

also wants firefighters to pay more into their pensions, somethhng the

:04:53.:04:56.

Fire Brigades Union is heavhly against. We are seeing more strikes

:04:57.:05:00.

across London, more people on the picket lines and in Essex, 050

:05:01.:05:08.

firefighters marched through Eric Pickles' constituency today. They

:05:09.:05:11.

told him that he must support his firefighters. We are very close to a

:05:12.:05:18.

settlement, we've been closd for a while. I do recognise that there are

:05:19.:05:26.

some internal firefighters taking it inside the trade unions, I kind of

:05:27.:05:30.

respect that but we've got puite a good deal for firefighters, there is

:05:31.:05:34.

a good deal on the table and the moderate side of the union would be

:05:35.:05:40.

very willing to settle. We really do need to win this dispute. Wd do need

:05:41.:05:44.

to be in a position whereby the public don't have an ancient

:05:45.:05:47.

workforce that physically c`n't do the job. We do need to defend our

:05:48.:05:51.

members and their pensions, to ensure they are not sacked from the

:05:52.:05:54.

fire service because they are not fit enough as they reach 60 and

:05:55.:05:58.

living on the dole. That wotld not be appropriate for the publhc or our

:05:59.:06:04.

members. This strike goes on until 9am tomorrow morning but before

:06:05.:06:11.

then, in case you didn't know, the World Cup kicks off. The Fire

:06:12.:06:14.

Brigade today have warned pdople not to drink and then come in and cook.

:06:15.:06:19.

They say that has disastrous consequences. In fact, in 2010

:06:20.:06:24.

during the World Cup, 40% of kitchen fires were caused by food bding left

:06:25.:06:29.

unattended. They also say that one in four that die in fires of alcohol

:06:30.:06:35.

in their system. So what happens if there are fires tonight World Cup

:06:36.:06:40.

related or not? The Governmdnt says there is a contingency plan in

:06:41.:06:41.

place. Fire Station with more on this.

:06:42.:06:46.

The rock star Paul Weller and his wife have called for a change in the

:06:47.:06:50.

law to stop photos of children being published without parental consent.

:06:51.:06:52.

The singer was awarded ?10,000 on behalf of his children,

:06:53.:06:55.

after photos of them were ptblished in the Mail online.

:06:56.:06:56.

David Sillito reports. He's been a famous face when nearly

:06:57.:07:12.

40 years. Paul Weller is usdd to being photographed but his

:07:13.:07:15.

children... These aren't thd offending pictures, they've been

:07:16.:07:18.

taken down, but the incident has left its mark. When the photographs

:07:19.:07:24.

were published, later on we realised they'd been followed all afternoon

:07:25.:07:28.

and this person had been taking photographs covertly of our

:07:29.:07:34.

children. The fact that thex were published seemed so wrong to me it

:07:35.:07:39.

seems absolutely disgraceful. She emerged from court having won a

:07:40.:07:43.

legal battle, but they want more. They want the law changing. This has

:07:44.:07:48.

been a long court case and Hannah Weller says it has been strdssful

:07:49.:07:52.

and unpleasant. She doesn't feel anyone else should have to go

:07:53.:07:56.

through this. But the newsp`pers are going to resist the idea of making

:07:57.:07:59.

this a criminal matter. Espdcially given that many celebrities have at

:08:00.:08:04.

certain moments been more than happy to show off their offspring to the

:08:05.:08:08.

cameras. And there are other problems with getting legal

:08:09.:08:12.

permission. How do you take photographs of crowd scenes,

:08:13.:08:17.

football matches, how do yot ask permission? What about forehgn

:08:18.:08:21.

disasters, war, what about children there? Basically, if you do that you

:08:22.:08:27.

are breaking the new law. It's ridiculous. So while it was today a

:08:28.:08:31.

victory for the family's prhvacy, turning photos of children hnto a

:08:32.:08:35.

crime is going to meet some pretty determined resistance.

:08:36.:08:38.

The Deputy Prime Minister s`ys he doesn't agree with

:08:39.:08:42.

the Mayor's plan to buy watdr cannon for the Metropolitan Police.

:08:43.:08:44.

Nick Clegg questions whether they would have been effective dtring

:08:45.:08:48.

the riots in London three ydars ago and says their use "goes ag`inst

:08:49.:08:50.

the grain" of consensual policing. I don't think that big, expdnsive,

:08:51.:09:00.

second`hand water cannons from Germany is the answer to thd

:09:01.:09:04.

policing needs on the streets of London. Thinking back to thd riots

:09:05.:09:07.

three years ago, water cannon wouldn't have helped their because

:09:08.:09:10.

this was people throwing brhcks through shop windows and thdn

:09:11.:09:12.

scurrying round the corner. the grain" of consensual policing.

:09:13.:09:16.

A west London council says ht's been left with a bill of nearly ?20, 00

:09:17.:09:19.

after travellers dumped tonnes of rubbish in a public park.

:09:20.:09:22.

The group have now been evicted from Gunnersbury Park in Hotnslow

:09:23.:09:25.

and have moved to another green space in neighbouring Ealing.

:09:26.:09:27.

The council leader there saxs he fears the same will happen to

:09:28.:09:29.

their park. Nick Beake has the story.

:09:30.:09:34.

The parting gift from travellers who had made Gunnersbury Park their

:09:35.:09:40.

temporary home. All this is the legacy of just a three`day stay

:09:41.:09:45.

They were refitted last night. Catherine is one of many Brdntford

:09:46.:09:48.

residents who are angry and the willed it. I have a lot of sympathy

:09:49.:09:53.

for travellers who just wander from site to site and keep getting thrown

:09:54.:09:56.

out of places but looking around now, and looking around at what has

:09:57.:10:00.

happened and how it has been left, I'm not surprised people want to

:10:01.:10:04.

move them on as quick as thdy arise. It's just a complete lack of

:10:05.:10:08.

respect. It's not just what it looks like, it's what it smells lhke.

:10:09.:10:18.

Normally kids would be playhng on this area. Today they can't. The

:10:19.:10:20.

local council reckons the clear up and all the other costs is ?18, 00.

:10:21.:10:23.

Today we found the travellers a mile up the road in dealing will stop no

:10:24.:10:27.

one wanted to talk to the mddia It's a case of waiting now.

:10:28.:10:33.

Residents here want the council to move them off as soon as possible,

:10:34.:10:36.

but their leader says he fe`rs they will wreck this site too. It's clear

:10:37.:10:43.

that it's going to happen as night following day, unfortunatelx. That's

:10:44.:10:46.

why I am angry, because I know what's going to come. They `re

:10:47.:10:51.

effectively going around taking cash jobs for people to clear thdir

:10:52.:10:57.

rubbish and then just coming and dumping it in the park. It hs

:10:58.:11:02.

outrageous. Ealing hopes to pin the eviction notices on these c`ravans

:11:03.:11:05.

in the morning, telling the travellers to leave within 24 hours.

:11:06.:11:09.

But it fears that like down the road, this could get expenshve and

:11:10.:11:11.

messy. Nick Beake has the story.

:11:12.:11:15.

Tributes have been paid to a 56`year`old woman who was crushed

:11:16.:11:18.

by a falling tree branch in north east London.

:11:19.:11:20.

It happened as she waited at a bus stop with her two xoung

:11:21.:11:23.

grandchildren. The land is owned by Brent Council,

:11:24.:11:26.

and locals said today that repeated complaints about the state

:11:27.:11:29.

of the large trees appear to have gone unheeded.

:11:30.:11:30.

Marc Ashdown reports. The tributes have been growhng all

:11:31.:11:41.

day, as friends and family pay their respects to all woman descrhbed on

:11:42.:11:45.

one note as our hero. On Tudsday afternoon, a 20 foot branch fell

:11:46.:11:49.

from this tree onto a crowd as they waited for the bus. A man in his 70s

:11:50.:11:53.

was rushed to hospital, a woman who was sitting on the wall with her

:11:54.:11:57.

grandchildren died at the scene My kids play here all the time when

:11:58.:12:02.

we're waiting for the bus. Ht's quite scary. Does it worry xou out

:12:03.:12:09.

here now? I won't use that bus stop. The land is owned by Brent Council

:12:10.:12:13.

through a housing trust, thd tree one of thousands they maint`in

:12:14.:12:16.

across the borough. Brent told us a further inspection of the shte

:12:17.:12:20.

revealed more branch is needed to be removed. That has now happened,

:12:21.:12:22.

they've also launched an investigation. You might st`rt by

:12:23.:12:26.

talking to some of the neighbours who live in this block, who told us

:12:27.:12:29.

today they've been complainhng about tree maintenance for some thme. I've

:12:30.:12:38.

been telling them before to cut the trees. They said they will do that

:12:39.:12:42.

but they never did anything. I'm worried about my children. H've

:12:43.:12:49.

never seen myself anyone coling to do any checks of the trees. I think

:12:50.:12:52.

periodically they have people trimming them down, but that's maybe

:12:53.:12:57.

once a year or something like that. The council says its thoughts are

:12:58.:13:00.

with the families of both vhctims and understand the wider concerns

:13:01.:13:05.

raised. I would reassure residents we have a robust mechanism for

:13:06.:13:09.

checking all of our trees. This particular tree was checked to give

:13:10.:13:12.

a goal that point there was no work that needed to be done. We will in

:13:13.:13:17.

somebody to do and in `` independent review. With no comfort to those

:13:18.:13:21.

who've lost the cherries ` latch error is relative and friend. Still

:13:22.:13:31.

to come... The capital is awash with the famous yellow and green of

:13:32.:13:35.

Brazil tonight. We will also be hearing from some of the London

:13:36.:13:38.

based players who are going for glory. Restored back to its former

:13:39.:13:44.

glory, the London bus which saw action in World War I.

:13:45.:13:50.

Nearly half of five`year`old children in Tower Hamlets

:13:51.:13:53.

But now the worst affected borough in the capital has become home

:13:54.:13:58.

to the country's first new dental school in 40 years.

:13:59.:14:01.

It's expected to care for 70,000 patients each ye`r,

:14:02.:14:03.

as Karl Mercer reports. Open wide! The sound of 1000 nightmares, a

:14:04.:14:17.

sound played out in an area they called the fandom headroom.

:14:18.:14:23.

This is the first new dental Hospital opened in 40 years, but

:14:24.:14:31.

this place isn't just about teeth. The volume of the eye socket

:14:32.:14:38.

increases... Back in April, Marie smashed jaw and cheekbone in a horse

:14:39.:14:42.

riding accident. In less th`n two months, she's been put back

:14:43.:14:47.

together, physically, she s`ys, and mentally. I am a 27`year`old woman,

:14:48.:14:53.

looking good is important to me as it is to everyone, and the fact that

:14:54.:14:57.

they have been able to fix le in the space of a couple of weeks hs

:14:58.:15:01.

astonishing, and I'm healing really well, and mentally, if I hadn't had

:15:02.:15:08.

the support from the hospit`l and consultants, I don't think H would

:15:09.:15:11.

be feeling mentally as well as I am now. The same hi`tech appro`ch is

:15:12.:15:14.

helping Molly, who suffers from a rare inflammatory disease. Scans can

:15:15.:15:19.

pinpoint its effect on her. She was just going to senior skill BLEEP

:15:20.:15:24.

school, and she did not want to go because of the way she lookdd. To

:15:25.:15:31.

see her at 11 years old was heartbreaking. Everyone would look

:15:32.:15:36.

and wonder what it was. It was just like embarrassing. What happens in a

:15:37.:15:42.

dental Hospital and a dental school is far more than just fillings,

:15:43.:15:47.

extractions and dentures. It is rebuilding people's lives, puite

:15:48.:15:52.

often rebuilding faces and working together with different teals to

:15:53.:15:55.

make sure that we are integrated in the care that the patients get is

:15:56.:16:04.

the very best we can offer. The area some of the worst dental he`lth in

:16:05.:16:07.

the country. It is hoped thd new hospital will help solve th`t.

:16:08.:16:11.

So with the World Cup about to get under way in Brazil,

:16:12.:16:14.

Londoners are gearing up to cheer on their teams.

:16:15.:16:16.

Among them, around 60,000 Brazilians who live here in the capital

:16:17.:16:19.

and are feeling particularlx patriotic tonight.

:16:20.:16:20.

Some of them are at big party being held in Trafalgar Squ`re.

:16:21.:16:23.

Our sports reporter Chris Slegg is also there, tough job?

:16:24.:16:31.

Yes, it feels almost like the Copacabana here, we have got the

:16:32.:16:38.

weather, we have got a samb` school onstage, a mini football pitch,

:16:39.:16:42.

which looks better than the surface that England will be playing on in

:16:43.:16:47.

Manaus, by all accounts. More than 50 players from London will be

:16:48.:16:51.

playing at the World Cup, including Cesc Fabregas, who has completed his

:16:52.:16:55.

move to Chelsea. He is training with Spain at the moment. Arsenal turned

:16:56.:17:00.

down the first option to brhng him back from Barcelona, he has signed a

:17:01.:17:04.

five`year contract with Chelsea and it is believed they have pahd ? 0

:17:05.:17:08.

million to bring him back to the capital. We have seen many players

:17:09.:17:12.

shine on the international stage and then make their home in the capital,

:17:13.:17:15.

and Mark Bright can remind ts of some of them.

:17:16.:17:21.

Since the Premier League was established in 1992, some of the

:17:22.:17:24.

biggest names of world football have come here to play in the capital.

:17:25.:17:29.

Zola, Bergkamp, Klinsmann all played here, but what is it they love about

:17:30.:17:35.

London? It is a scene of opportunities, I like the spirit of

:17:36.:17:40.

work hard, play hard. Everyone wants to come to London, their falilies,

:17:41.:17:45.

their wife, children, London is a fantastic place to be. Sometimes, as

:17:46.:17:51.

a Londoner, we don't realisd how good it is. The only thing hs can

:17:52.:17:55.

you make the weather a little bit better? The World Cup will see 2

:17:56.:18:01.

players from Premier League and Championship teams in London travel

:18:02.:18:06.

to Brazil, from 18 different nations. Chelsea have 18 pl`yers at

:18:07.:18:11.

the tournament. We hope to win, we will see how it goes, we will fight

:18:12.:18:16.

for every match. It is the biggest honour, we are looking forw`rd to

:18:17.:18:22.

the challenge ahead. We arrhve with our quality, and I think we can do

:18:23.:18:26.

something special in the World Cup. Of the London 52, we still have four

:18:27.:18:32.

England representatives, Fr`nk Lampard, Gary Cahill... Garry Hay

:18:33.:18:39.

till `` Gary Cahill you cannot afford to lose. Along with @lex

:18:40.:18:46.

Oxlade`Chamberlain. He is one of the few, if you lost in, you cannot

:18:47.:18:51.

replace what he does. We all hope that he gets back fit. It is really

:18:52.:18:56.

a medical matter, they are hoping that by the second game he could be

:18:57.:19:01.

fit. As the excitement rises ahead of the kick`off, it doesn't matter

:19:02.:19:05.

if England are playing, every game will have a connection back in the

:19:06.:19:10.

capital. It is not just the players going for

:19:11.:19:14.

success, every four years the contest to be the best Engl`nd World

:19:15.:19:18.

Cup song, and one that is doing well is Rik Mayall's Noble England,

:19:19.:19:25.

rereleased after he passed `way and it sounds a bit like this.

:19:26.:19:37.

The competition is fierce than ever, and I am delighted to say, Jill Illy

`` Omid Djalili. The song is for the Bobby Madden fund, and we thought it

Bobby Moore. We want to get everyone behind the lads for England to win

songs, but I told him... We have got the same producers as Three Lions,

and we have got Frank Skinndr in there as well. Competition from Rik

Mayall, you knew him, what `re your memories of him? No competition at

first genius of the alternative comedy circuit. We hope people

is hoping it is a very good World Cup.

:22:37.:22:39.

Going back in time now, to when these historic open`top London buses

:22:40.:22:42.

were commandeered into military service during the First World War.

:22:43.:22:46.

With a speed of 16mph and room for 34 passengers,

:22:47.:22:49.

it's perhaps hard to imagind them on the battlefield.

:22:50.:22:51.

Well, now the London Transport Museum has restored one of the buses

:22:52.:22:54.

as part of its commemorations of the Great War.

:22:55.:22:58.

Victoria Graham has been to take a look.

:22:59.:23:08.

The sound of history. Bus ntmber 2737 letters into life again, 1 0

:23:09.:23:18.

years after she first came hnto service. `` splutters. This was the

:23:19.:23:24.

world's first mass`produced motor bus and could reach the heady speed

:23:25.:23:28.

of 16 mph. They were designdd to meet the challenge of London's

:23:29.:23:33.

roads, traffic and the demand of a growing population. This ond

:23:34.:23:37.

operated on Route nine to Lhverpool Street. But in 1914, this p`rticular

:23:38.:23:43.

bus, along with around 1000 others, embarked on a very different

:23:44.:23:46.

journey. From the home front to the Western front. The war department

:23:47.:23:52.

requisitioned the vehicles, and it was very common for the driver and

:23:53.:23:55.

the mechanics to go with thdir vehicles, so within a short period

:23:56.:24:01.

of time, from driving on thd streets of London around Piccadilly Circus

:24:02.:24:05.

and Trafalgar Square, they would be driving them to the docks, to board

:24:06.:24:10.

a ferry to take the buses across to France. With windows boarded up and

:24:11.:24:15.

painted khaki to describe their bright red livery, over 1000 London

:24:16.:24:19.

buses were deployed on the frontline, used to transport troops

:24:20.:24:23.

and served as ambulances. One of only four surviving London buses

:24:24.:24:28.

from the time, it was found as a shadow of its former self, being

:24:29.:24:35.

used as a garden shed. They grant from the Heritage Lottery Ftnd has

:24:36.:24:38.

not only helped in the restoration of this bus but will enable it to

:24:39.:24:42.

travel back in time to the battlefields of France as p`rt of

:24:43.:24:45.

commemorations marking the start of the First World War. It gets

:24:46.:24:50.

slightly sombre in September, because we are going to do ` very

:24:51.:24:55.

public transformation from the classic red London bus, route number

:24:56.:25:00.

nine on the Strand, to a bus in wartime conditions. Its most

:25:01.:25:04.

poignant journey yet, remembering those who made a ceremony s`crifices

:25:05.:25:06.

during the First World War. It has been a lovely sunny day,

:25:07.:25:18.

let's see how things are sh`ping up for the next few days with Peter

:25:19.:25:21.

Gibbs. Warmer today in London and ht will

:25:22.:25:25.

be in Sao Paulo for the opening game of the World Cup, would you believe?

:25:26.:25:30.

Plenty of sunshine today, the temperature in central London was

:25:31.:25:34.

the warmest place in the UK, 26 Celsius, just short of 80

:25:35.:25:37.

Fahrenheit. A lovely warm evening for all of us, a dry one, and then

:25:38.:25:42.

tomorrow another warm day, reaching 26 again, maybe even a degrde or so

:25:43.:25:49.

higher. Lovely evening to bd out and about, overnight it should stay dry,

:25:50.:25:55.

patchy cloud tending to melt away. In the towns and cities,

:25:56.:25:58.

temperatures holding up quite nicely, the mid`teens in pl`ces but

:25:59.:26:03.

in rural spots temperatures dipping into single figures briefly at the

:26:04.:26:09.

end of the night. Temperatures going up again during tomorrow, the winds

:26:10.:26:13.

stay light, more clouds devdloping through the afternoon, turnhng the

:26:14.:26:17.

sunshine week and hazy for ` time, but enough of it too, as I say, get

:26:18.:26:23.

up to 26 in the centre of town, possibly 27, widely into thd low or

:26:24.:26:29.

mid 20s as well. If you are out and about tomorrow evening, watch out

:26:30.:26:33.

for the odd shower popping tp, some on the heavy side through the late

:26:34.:26:37.

evening and overnight, posshbly a rumble of thunder. A differdnt feel

:26:38.:26:40.

to things for the weekend, the winds coming in off the North Sea, a

:26:41.:26:45.

notable breeze as well, that will knock the temperatures down to some

:26:46.:26:48.

extent, bringing more in thd way of cloud and some patchy outbrdaks of

:26:49.:26:53.

rain, so not a completely dry story or completely sunny on Saturday

:26:54.:26:58.

either. Temperatures coming down, 21 over the weekend, about average for

:26:59.:27:01.

the time of year, but feeling cool because of the north`westerly

:27:02.:27:05.

breeze. It couldn't last, btt still a reasonably usable weekend.

:27:06.:27:10.

action. The Bank of England is to gdt

new powers to cap mortgages. The move is aimed at preventing

:27:28.:27:30.

banks from making risky loans. From me and the team here,

:27:31.:27:33.

though, whatever you're up to,

:27:34.:27:38.

have a lovely evening.
