feeling very vulnerable. By now, the Metropolitan Police had recdived

:03:09.:03:10.

Metropolitan Police had received several intelligence reports that

:03:11.:03:13.

their senior officer on the Morgan case had been placed under variance

:03:14.:03:17.

by a tabloid newspaper, so they pulled over one of the vans and a

photographer working for thd News of photographer working for the News of

:03:21.:03:23.

the World revealed the reason. They were pursuing a kiss and tell story,

:03:58.:04:00.

we know is that the assistant news editor at the News of the World

:04:01.:04:05.

tasked the paper's phone Hacker Glenn Mulcaire to come Palestine a

:04:06.:04:10.

personal dossier on David Cook and his wife. They have pleaded guilty

:04:11.:04:15.

to phone hacking hundreds of celebrities but David Cook believes

:04:16.:04:18.

the surveillance on him was for a more sinister purpose They were

:04:19.:04:20.

trying to undermine me, unddrmine trying to undermine me, undermine

Daniel Morgan, it is as simple as that. It is an extraordinarx

:04:28.:04:30.

Daniel Morgan, it is as simple as that. It is an extraordinary claim,

:04:31.:04:32.

that a national newspaper would aid the suspects in a murder

:04:33.:04:37.

investigation. But the BBC has spoken to people who back up

:04:38.:04:41.

everything David Cook says. Straight after Crimewatch I was told

:04:42.:04:45.

that you know, the News of the World were offering assistance to those

:04:46.:04:47.

suspected of the murder of Daniel Morgan. The phrase that was told to

:04:48.:04:52.

me was they are looking to sort you out, And as for the links between

:04:53.:04:55.

out, And as for the links bdtween Greg and those investigated for

:04:56.:04:59.

murdering Daniel Morgan, here is a company of the company's house

:05:00.:05:02.

company of the company's hotse certificate, proving he had set up a

:05:03.:05:06.

business under the same roof as the suspects. Two private investigators

:05:07.:05:10.

with a long history of feeding stories and confidential info to the

:05:11.:05:15.

News of the World. In 2002, Rebekah Brooks was editor

:05:16.:05:18.

of the News of the World. D`vid Cook of the News of the World. D`vid Cook

:05:19.:05:22.

demanded a meeting. I had the meeting, that is a fact, I had the

:05:23.:05:25.

meeting to discuss this. Shd chose meeting to discuss this. She chose

:05:26.:05:31.

to do nothing about it. Of course, that was in 2002, and a lot has

:05:32.:05:35.

happened since then. For a start, Rebekah Brooks has been

:05:36.:05:39.

tried and found innocent of having any knowledge of phone hackhng, but

:05:40.:05:43.

what does she say in response to David Cook's claim her journalists

:05:44.:05:45.

tried to derail his murder hnquiry? tried to derail his murder inquiry?

:05:46.:05:50.

Well, we put that question to the former editor, but received no

:05:51.:05:51.

spons. Someone who does have spons. Someone who does have

:05:52.:05:56.

something to say on the matter is Alistair Morgan, Daniel's brother I

:05:57.:06:02.

knew from the word go this thing stank to high heaven. Nothing that

:06:03.:06:06.

the police did or could say to me could persuade me something wasn't

:06:07.:06:10.

going very very badly wrong here. It has never just been about the murder

:06:11.:06:13.

of my brother, it's a lot more than that. There is a lot of people with

:06:14.:06:16.

a lot of questions to answer here, which they don't want to answer.

:06:17.:06:22.

One of Greg's colleagues has stated the story on David Cook was merely a

:06:23.:06:27.

misguided tip`off, but David Cook himself remains adamant the

:06:28.:06:30.

surveillance on him is proof there was a tabloid conspiracy to derail

:06:31.:06:38.

his murder investigation. And glen is with me now. So no

:06:39.:06:41.

response from Rebekah Brooks then. No, not this week, but cruchally,

:06:42.:06:46.

there is a public record we can refer to, in July 2011 Rebekah

:06:47.:06:49.

Brooks appeared before a Parliamentary committee at the

:06:50.:06:52.

height of the phone hacking scandal and they asked her about this

:06:53.:06:55.

and they asked her about thhs meeting with David Cook at Scotland

:06:56.:06:56.

Yard. She admitted the meethng took Yard. She admitted the meethng took

:06:57.:06:58.

place, she remembered the meeting, place, she remembered the meeting,

:06:59.:07:04.

but her can't of what was discussed crucially differs very much ``

:07:05.:07:09.

can't. Where does all this leave the investigation into Daniel Morgan's

:07:10.:07:12.

death? Daniel Morgan was murdered in 1987. It is a long time ago and

:07:13.:07:17.

there has been a number of failed Metropolitan Police investigations.

:07:18.:07:21.

The last one really led to hiatus, it let to something where T`y

Hundreds of passengers had to be evacuated from a tourist boat after

evacuated from a tourist bo`t after it collided with a cargo vessel on

:08:13.:08:17.

the Thames. It happened by the Oxo Tower round quarter past two this

:08:18.:08:20.

afternoon. A number of people onboard were treated for minor

:08:21.:08:25.

injuries. The shock of the collision left

:08:26.:08:29.

hundreds of passengers on the city cruises tourist boat shaken and

:08:40.:08:42.

say it was going to hit so Tay were telling the children to get away,

:08:43.:08:45.

and so that is why a lot of the children who were at the front of

:08:46.:08:46.

the boat are traumatised, just the boat are traumatised, just

:08:47.:08:49.

because they literally, it wasn t because they literally, it wasn't

they knew it was going to hit. that?" They saw it hit the boat and

:08:56.:08:59.

they knew it was going to hht. They started shouting get down, brace for

:09:00.:09:03.

impact. And the barge, I guess, hit us right on the bottom left, and

:09:04.:09:05.

then it swung round and like us right on the bottom left, and

:09:06.:09:08.

then it swung round and likd the then it swung round and like the

:09:09.:09:10.

cargo part hit us again, and like you could see the, I don't know the

:09:11.:09:12.

cargo, the boxes tipping thd over cargo, the boxes tipping thd over

:09:13.:09:17.

and I thought the ship was going to tip. A BBC camera crew filmed

tip. A BBC camera crew filmdd pictures minutes after the accident

:09:20.:09:20.

pictures minutes after the `ccident itself. You can see for yourself if

:09:21.:09:26.

you were standing by the river bank how everything looked calm which was

:09:27.:09:29.

a far cry to what was happening inside A lot of people were crying

:09:30.:09:33.

and panicking, especially the children, so there was an Italian

:09:34.:09:37.

lady who had to have a life vest put on because she was in a state. The

:09:38.:09:40.

whole of the front of the glass of the downstairs is all smashdd in.

:09:41.:09:43.

the downstairs is all smashed in. The accident isn't the first

:09:44.:09:46.

involving a city cruises bo`t. Last month one of their boats crashed

:09:47.:09:48.

month one of their boats cr`shed into Tower Bridge. An investigation

:09:49.:09:54.

about that is ongoing, but this is what City Cruises said to us We :

:09:55.:10:17.

All passengers this afternoon were taken to festival Pierre. Three with

:10:18.:10:24.

neck injure, others with minor injury, an investigation has already

:10:25.:10:25.

begun. A lorry driver held after a

:10:26.:10:33.

13`year`old girl was hit and killed has been released on bail. The

:10:34.:10:37.

teenager was hit near a zebra crossing on the South Circular road

:10:38.:10:40.

in Catford yesterday morning. The driver was arrested on suspicion of

:10:41.:10:43.

causing death by dangerous driving. He will return to police in October.

:10:44.:10:49.

An undercover reporter has told the trial of singer Tulisa Contostavlos

:10:50.:10:53.

that claims he spiked her drink at a a meeting are outrageous. M`zher

:10:54.:10:56.

a meeting are outrageous. Mazher Mahmood, dubbed the fake shdikh

:10:57.:11:00.

posed as a film producer when he met the former X Factor judge. He denies

:11:01.:11:06.

manipulating her. She denies sorting out cocaine for many Mahmood by

:11:07.:11:09.

putting him in touch with a rapper friend. The case continues. The

:11:10.:11:13.

mayor has once again called on the Government to lower business rates

:11:14.:11:17.

to help the capital's struggling high streets. Boris Johnson was in

:11:18.:11:21.

Bromley today, hoping to boost local shops with some extra funding. Some

:11:22.:11:24.

local businesses are not feeling shops with some extra funding. Some

:11:25.:11:26.

local businesses are not feeling the economic recovery just yet.

:11:27.:11:32.

You like it? Everyone in Bromley has an opinion on their brand`new high

:11:33.:11:33.

an opinion on their brand`ndw high street. Where ever the mayor went,

:11:34.:11:40.

there was food back. New paving and a cafe culture feel is having an

:11:41.:11:43.

immediate impact. I think it is wonderful. It is nice and clean, for

:11:44.:11:46.

comparing to where it was bdfore. wonderful. It is nice and clean for

:11:47.:11:48.

comparing to where it was bdfore. It looks more up market, I think. Make

:11:49.:11:56.

you want to spend money? If If I had any to spend it may do. He hs

:11:57.:11:58.

any to spend it may do. He is spending more than ?200 million to

:11:59.:12:02.

improve high streets in London. They are home to 175,000 businesses,

:12:03.:12:08.

providing 1.5 million jobs but times have been tough. Although the

:12:09.:12:12.

Government is saying the economy is on the up, certainly that hasn't

:12:13.:12:16.

on the up, certainly that h`sn't fillered `` filtered through to the

:12:17.:12:22.

high street t ongoing concern is the social implications, becausd

:12:23.:12:23.

historically high streets were social implications, because

:12:24.:12:24.

historically high streets wdre great historically high streets were great

:12:25.:12:27.

places for social interaction, and that has definitely declined over

:12:28.:12:31.

recent years. There are so many competitors, like the lure of

:12:32.:12:35.

Central London or out`of`town retail centre, start ups are struggling.

:12:36.:12:38.

The mayor said again today they need some help I would love business

:12:39.:12:43.

rates to come down. You talk to any shopkeeper in London they tdll you

:12:44.:12:45.

shopkeeper in London they tell you business rates are a problel. But

:12:46.:12:47.

that is set at a national level. business rates are a problem. But

:12:48.:12:49.

that is set at a national level. One of the arguments we are makhng

:12:50.:12:53.

that is set at a national ldvel One of the arguments we are making it

:12:54.:12:54.

should come to the cities of England to give the cities more powdr

:12:55.:12:57.

should come to the cities of England to give the cities more power to

:12:58.:12:59.

stimulate their local busindsses. Something else the mayor wants toed

:13:00.:13:00.

a dress is this, empty properties a dress is this, empty properties

:13:01.:13:05.

above the shops themselves. Often hidden or totally ignored, they

:13:06.:13:09.

could be lucrative sources of income. The owner of this whne bar

:13:10.:13:12.

income. The owner of this wine bar explained there is one tack for that

:13:13.:13:15.

isn't going away. The internet. A lot of people don't need to go out.

:13:16.:13:19.

They can order food from a supermarket to be delivered, so,

:13:20.:13:21.

They can order food from a supermarket to be delivered, I think

:13:22.:13:24.

if we can get this right, it will start bringing our culture back

:13:25.:13:29.

together. It all does rather rely on whether Londoners will start

:13:30.:13:32.

sampling their local high street delight once more.

:13:33.:13:36.

So, in case you didn't feel it, today has been the hottest day of

:13:37.:13:42.

the year so far, with a high of 29 degrees recorded in Hampton near

:13:43.:13:44.

Richmond. A health warning is in Richmond. A health warning is in

:13:45.:13:46.

place with hotter temperatures expected tomorrow.

:13:47.:13:51.

So while it may have been swelters above ground, conditions on much of

:13:52.:13:56.

the underground have been worse Tube bosses renewed their commitment

:13:57.:14:00.

to provided air cooled trains over the next decade. Our reportdr is in

:14:01.:14:04.

Herne Hill. Where people have been making the most of the weather,

:14:05.:14:10.

clearly. That is right. People have only just got out of the pool but

:14:11.:14:15.

there were big crowds here today. Kids coming straight from school.

:14:16.:14:19.

Queues outside. People splashing round to cool down. They have been

:14:20.:14:22.

taking advantage of the hot temperatures. Believe it north it

:14:23.:14:27.

has been hotter in parts of London as parts of the Med today, so people

:14:28.:14:31.

have been taking advantage of that. But it is not been great for

:14:32.:14:34.

everyone, especially those underground. We went on the Tube

:14:35.:14:38.

today with a thermometer and recorded a temperature of 31

:14:39.:14:40.

recorded a temperature of 30 degrees.

:14:41.:14:44.

The difference from coming from upstairs to down is like, it feels

:14:45.:14:49.

like you are in a heat wave. Not good It would be better if it was,

:14:50.:14:51.

good It would be better if ht was, how much would that increase ticket

:14:52.:14:57.

prices? I know we can't do much with the rolling stock, but I thhnk

:14:58.:14:58.

prices? I know we can't do luch with the rolling stock, but I think if

:14:59.:14:59.

the rolling stock, but I thhnk if the platforms had a bit more, you

:15:00.:15:01.

the platforms had a bit mord, you know, the big fans they put, I mean

:15:02.:15:05.

it wouldn't cost much to do some kind of intervention like that. We

:15:06.:15:09.

have all been there, haven't we But we hear the same thing every

:15:10.:15:12.

have all been there, haven't we. But we hear the same thing everx year,

:15:13.:15:12.

we hear the same thing every year, regarding heat on the Tube. So what

:15:13.:15:14.

is Transport for London saying regarding heat on the Tube. So what

:15:15.:15:17.

is Transport for London saying about plans going forward? Well, today,

:15:18.:15:24.

Boris Johnson said he wants as much of the Tube network to be ahr

:15:25.:15:26.

conditioned as possiblement at the moment only three lines have air

:15:27.:15:30.

conditioning on them. By 2006 that will be 40%, but one of the reasons

:15:31.:15:33.

that not all tubes can be air that not all tubes can be air

:15:34.:15:37.

conditioned is because of the depth of the tunnels, but from 2020 all

:15:38.:15:41.

new trains on some of those lines will have air conditioning, that

:15:42.:15:46.

will be on the Piccadilly, baker loo and Central line, so by 2012 eight
