at the papers over on the BBC News Channel but now, on BBC One, it s

time for News with me, Assad arc med.

Pinewood Studios has been ghven the latest go ahead to expand.

Creating thousands of new jobs and boosting the British film industry.

But there are concerns. Over the impact on the Buckinghamshire

countryside. Nick Beake is `t pine wood to tell us more.

They have been making films here for more than 75 years. The latdst Star

Wars, where Harrison Ford broke his leg on set last week, that was in

the making of Episode VII btt it seems that the fight for thd future

of pine wood has had as manx instalments. A script that pitted

film bosses against the loc`l community. But we have come to the

end, with the Government's decision to approve plans to double the site.

Pinewood Studios in the heart of the Buckinghamshire countryside has

welcomed the biggest of block busters. Sewerman flew in, ht was

home to the Hobbit and James Bond acquired his licence to kill here.

Now after winning the battld with the local community, it will double

in size. This is important to us and to the

UK because it is our infrastructure that allows us not only to support

small independent UK film productions but to create the

opportunity for inward investment films to come to the UK, usd the

skills and the creativity that we are renouned for. The scale of the

expansion includes seven st`ges including this one, where they are

currently filming Star Wars. This have decided to build 02 more

stages. This is what the new building will look like. Thd

development promises to bring 3 000 new jobs, that impressed thd

Government. Today it reversdd the local council's rejection of the

scheme, to build on the gredn belt. Some of the pine wood neighbours had

seen off a plan that includdd 1 000 new homes. They say that today's

decision is wrong. We are going to lose this. Hn 2 ,

30, 50 years' time, this will not be here.

It will be a honour stressity. We are can you tell us odians of the

earth, we do mot own it. We have a duty to hand over something that is

liveable for the next gener`tion. James Bond's latest outing,

Skyfall, filmed at pine wood. The studio said it would continte to

listen to and work with the local people in the future, not jtst the

money of Hollywood. But still a bitter disappointment for those

living nearby. The film bosses though, are stressing that there

will be a creative and economic benefit with the construction jobs

created in a 15`year project and we are told that work could begin in

six months' time. Thank you very much.

Commuterers are said to havd run screaming from a tube station after

a passenger's electrical device overheated.

a passenger's electrical device Causing sparks and smoke to come

from the bag leading to panhc amongst passengers. The comluters

ran from the Chancery Lane station, some in tears. The man who owned the

device got off immediately `nd spoke to the staff. No`one was hurt. A

highly critical report has found that ?15 million was wasted on a

failed police computer projdct poorly managed. Surreys polhce

commissioned the project. They want to talk to a senior officer about

what happened. This contains flash photography. The new system was

intending to log intelligence on criminals and suspects. It was

commissioned in 2005 and colpletion date to be 2009. But delays meant

that the project was predicted ready by August of last year. Surrey's

police and crime commissiondr concluded that the system w`s not

fit four purpose and termin`ted the project.

We have written off ?15 million of public money on a high`risk IT

project that did not have the proper governance, controls or oversight to

make a decision as to whethdr or not it should continue.

The Chief Constable in charge of Surrey at the time was Mark Rowley.

Now one of Scotland Yard's senior officers. Seen here at the fatal

shooting inquest of Mark Duggan Back in Surrey, they are

unimpressed. It is akin to the situation of a

captain of a ship sets a risky course, then does not make sure you

have the right charts, the people on the bridge, does not check, does not

make sure that he is kept informed then it hits the rocks.

So you are blaming the formdr captain? Controversy over ptblic

sector IT projects are not new. Look at the NHS and the recent BBC

digital failure. This was explained.

One possible lemme is that they were looking to doing `` one problem is

that they were looking to do something very ambitious. Probably

overall ambitious. Mark Rowley expressed regret that

the IT project failed. But said that there was no criticism of a

individual in the report. That while he was at the Surrey police, the

auditors were positive about the project.

That is it from me tonight. Time to hand you over to the weather

prospects. Because of the cooler air, `nd clear
