of Australia. That's all from Hampden Park. Do stay with us, time

for the news where you. In a bid to reduce opposition to

government plans to build three new "garden cities" - a proposal has

been put forward to compensate The Deputy Prime Minister said local

people affected by building work - might get rebates

on their council tax - or be-able The satellite town scheme is

designed to reduce congestion in London...

The garden city movement began over a century ago. Then there were

similar pressures to today. This was the result. Letchworth and Welwyn

Garden City. Now the government hopes similar developments will be

welcomed by local people. Avoiding the protests that greeted eco-towns

and other big housing projects. Money should help. We could maybe

give deductions on council tax for the period of time in which the

garden city is being built, possibly also say to those homes where they

think the price of their home will be affected, we will guarantee the

price of their home by buying it upfront. But will it be enough?

Earlier this year rumours swept through Gerard Cross, claims there

were secret government plans for a Garden City nearby. A shocked parish

council got straight on to their MP. This is the response from Dominic

Grieve... Also happens to be in the Cabinet. He says, I am satisfied no

proposal exists. The problem for them seems to have gone away, but it

does suggest how some communities may react if the green belt is

threatened, and Nick Clegg's comments seem to have surprised some

departments, describing them as an interesting contribution to the

debate. We understand the short list of locations could be published by

the end of the year. A cyclist aged

in his 30's has died after a crash It happened last night and

although a doctor passing by tried to resuscitate the man -

he died shortly afterwards. He's the seventh cyclist to be

killed on London's roads this year. 10,000 Londoners from Islington who

fought and died in World War One are being remembered, by having

their names put on commemorative It's the summer of 1914 and here in

Finsbury, volunteers in their thousands queued to enlist. As they

walked into the unknown, many of them never made it back. We've got

three men from the street, one chap, we don't know his age. It's

something we need to research. We are not even sure exactly... He

would have lived right here? The street just behind you. Those who

died had now returned to the streets where they once lived. Their names

printed on these plaques for a new generation of residents to see.

Something that brings home the reality that these were ordinary

people, who lived in streets like these. He must have been injured and

brought back to England. He is dying at the age of 19. By putting up

these plaques with their name, age at death and where and when they

died, it will enable anyone locally to say, that is half or George such

and such, I want to know more about him. This map pinpoint exactly where

Islington soldiers came from and it wasn't just the borough's men who

played a part. Women were trained in making lenses for periscopes of

submarines and binoculars and telescopes. They died 100 years ago

but it is hoped these discrete reminders will bring Islington's

heroes home once again. Now a look at the weather with

Sara Thornton. A great start tomorrow with

temperatures in double figures and some sunshine. The cloud will bubble

up in the afternoon, most places will remain dry but the shower risk

increases during the week. Good evening. Many of us had a

decent second part of the weekend, particularly so for England and

Wales, rather different from Scotland and Northern Ireland. We

saw our whole rash of showers across Scotland and Northern Ireland, some

thunder and lightning swirling around. There was a huge curl of

cloud, indicative of an area of low pressure. That will work its way

northwards, taking its the wind and rain with it. For England and Wales,

may be a shower around the coast but rural spots make it a bit on the

chilly side. Through the day tomorrow, fine in dry weather on

offer, some good spells of sunshine but there will be
