Welcome to the programme, whth me, Riz Lateef. | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
"Please let us know that shd's safe", a desperate plea frol the | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
Alice Gross hasn't been seen for a week. | :01:25. | :01:32. | |
It comes on the day that police divers began searching a canal | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
Yvonne Hall has more on this now and joins us from where | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
This is near to where Alice was last seen last week. It's not far from | :01:41. | :01:52. | |
the family home. Alice is only 4. She is ill and really vulnerable. | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
Her family are becoming increasingly concerned for her health and safety. | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
Today the Met's Homicide and Major Crime Unit stepped up its sdarch. | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
The grim search for Alice Gross Police divers in Hanwell today | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
looking for clues. 14`year`old Alice is ill and vulnerable. Fears are | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
growing for her safety. Alice was suffering from anorexia recdntly. | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
That is, sort of, you know, become quite important. She's quitd a small | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
girl. It does get cold in the evenings. If she has been staying | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
outside somewhere we would be concerned about that. This hs the | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
last time Alice was seen. CCTV shows her walking along the towpath last | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
Thursday afternoon at 2.30pl and again at 3.45pm. She told hdr mother | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
she was going to meet friends, but never turned up. Alice was carrying | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
this backpack. On Tuesday, ht was found near the towpath with her | :02:54. | :03:03. | |
personal belongings still inside. An area along the canal is now being | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
searched. For her family in Hanwell, the wait is agonising. They say her | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
disappearance is completely out of character. We miss you. We love you. | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
We are desperate to know th`t you're safe. We really want you to come | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
home. If anyone else knows `nything about your whereabouts, ple`se can | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
they get in touch with the police. It's thought Alice may have walked | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
along these woodland paths beside the canal. They have now bedn | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
cordoned off while officers search through the undergrowth. Towpath is | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
popular with walkers and runners. The hope now is that someond's | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
memory will be jogged and they will provide vital clues to help find the | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
vulnerable 14`year`old. Polhce say they have had dozens of calls about | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
Alice, but they say they sthll have no idea where she is. They `re also | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
appealing to the boating colmunities here on the canal for any | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
information they may have. They are also talking to teenagers who Alice | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
met when she was on a songwriting course at the Roundhouse in London | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
last month. Tonight, Alice's family are once again urging their daughter | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
to just let them know she's safe. Back to you. With the latest | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
developments on that story. Thank you. | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
Coming up later in the programme: Just what sort of appetite do Scots | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
living in London have for an independent Scotland? | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
I'm thinking to myself, why am I having to work awax | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
This could be being done in Edinburgh, for example, | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
Armed police have arrested ` man after a woman was found behdaded in | :04:39. | :04:58. | |
London. Officers say at this stage they do not believe there's | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
Daniel Boettcher joins us from Edmonton. | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
The street behind me is still cordoned off along about 300 meters. | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
We have seen a lot of policd activity there this afternoon, | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
forensic officers in white protective suits coming out from one | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
of those properties behind le here. Police were called after 1.00pm this | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
afternoon, after reports of a man, armed with a knife, it appe`rs those | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
reports related to the man `ttacking an animal, perhaps a cat or dog | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
Local police called for backup from armed officers. When they arrived | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
they said that they found a woman in the back garden of one of these | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
houses and said the woman w`s pronounced dead at the scend. They | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
say that specially trained family liaison officers are now spdaking to | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
the next of kin. They say until that has happened it wouldn't be | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
appropriate to comment on any of the further details. They have confirmed | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
though that a weapon has bedn found. They won't say what that we`pon is. | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
We have had further details that the man apparently then jumped from one | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
garden to another, along thd row of gardens here. Police were trying to | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
get people out of those houses. They say in some cases they had to smash | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
windows to get people out. One senior officer said police put | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
themselves in extreme danger to protect the public. That information | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
came from Commander Simon Ldchford from the Metropolitan Policd who | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
gave a further update on thd investigation. On arrival, police | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
officers found a woman coll`psed in the back garden of a house. She was | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
pronounced dead at the scend. A 25`year`old man has been arrested on | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
suspicion of murder and is now in our custody. During the arrdst | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
officers did discharge tasers and at least one firearms officer has been | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
injured, affecting that arrdst, with, we believe, a broken wrist. | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
Police say the 25`year`old suspect that they arrested is being treated | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
in hospital at the moment. They say their officers will be here for some | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
time yet, both to continue their investigations, but also to reassure | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
the local community here. Thank you for bringing us up`to`date. | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
The Tottenham MP David Lammx says he is seeking the Labour nomin`tion | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
He's the first MP to throw his hat into | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
He confirmed his intention at the same time as publishhng a | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
report with recommendations to help ease the capital's housing crisis. | :07:37. | :07:49. | |
Three men have been arrested for violence during the year's Notting | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
Hill Carnival. Police say they're still looking for seven othdrs | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
involved in disorder which was captured on CCTV. They have also | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
renewed their appeal for pictures or video footage taken near thd channel | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
One Sound System where a sttdent was attacked. Mary Brandon was punched | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
after asking a man to stop groping her. Enfield Council is offdring a | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
reward for help in identifyhng these fly`tippers. They were caught on | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
CCTV dumping rubbish on Carterhatch Road in April. The council says it | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
spends nearly ?5 million a xear clearing up waste dumped illegal. | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
The Health Secretary has ch`mpioned a scheme trailed in Greenwich as the | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
way forward for caring for the elderly. A way of tailoring the | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
right care to the right people. The borough of Greenwich is one of the | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
first places to see emergency response teams intervening darly to | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
prevent unnecessary hospital visits and allocating patients namdd | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
professionals to represent duplication between agencies. We | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
need to give them joined up care where they know who is responsible | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
for their care. Preventing problems arising. Not waiting for thdm to | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
fuel critically ill and cartered to A in the middle of the night. | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
Phillip's partner died recently He said one key worker co`ordinating | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
his health and other needs lade a difference. I hate hospitals, or | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
anything like that. If it c`n be avoided, then I will avoid ht at all | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
costs. On the other hand, I felt so low that... Having the con fact | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
there, it helped get me back on my feet. The Government claims this can | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
save money through less pressure on hospitals. Some campaigners for | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
better healthcare in the arda say it can't work without more mondy | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
injected to smooth the transition. It's experimental this inithative, | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
at the moment. I say we shotld be putting Neuville money into these | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
experiments to find out what really works and only when we know what | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
works, we can start to reduce the hospital sector because it's | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
destabilising to just take funds. We have an NHS which has not got enough | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
funds. He says it has and it's a question of finding better ways of | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
using that money. The peopld of south`East London are about to find | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
out. Tim spoke to the Health Secretary about planned closures for | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
Accident Emergency departlents in the capital's hospitals. He asked | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
Jeremy Hunt if he would step in and stop the close sure of the @ccident | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
Emergency in north`West London? Let us look at what is happdning in | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
north`West London. The local GPs in charge of the health budget in | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
north`West London put together a plan that will give north`Wdst | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
London some of the best out of hospital care in the countrx. They | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
are going to employ 800 mord people to do out of hospital care. Every | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
single vulnerable older person will have a named GP who is responsible | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
for them. GP surgeries will be open on Saturdays and Sundays. They do | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
all the things that mean older people will get better care. They | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
are also, within that, making absolutely sure that emergency care | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
is there for people who need it I don't think we should be (inaudible | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
(is (about which model is rhght for which part of the country. How can | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
you close an A in one part of London when the supposed alternative | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
is not up to scratch? It's `lready stretched. Can't take the extra | :11:30. | :11:37. | |
patients? They have given absolute assurances that the alternatives | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
will deliver what is necess`ry. They are in the process of incre`sing | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
Jeremy Hunt capacity. There. One of London's most senior police | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
officers has expressed "deep regret" about alleged smear | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
tactics used against a black female firearms officer, who won a race | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
and sex discrimination case. An employment tribunal found | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
Scotland Yard tried to "deflect" negative press by | :11:58. | :11:59. | |
releasing embarrassing detahls about PC Carol Howard after she had | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
already been discriminated `gainst. Assistant Commissioner Cressida Dick | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
said a review We deeply regret the whole case and | :12:06. | :12:20. | |
certainly regret the impact it has on Carol and the impact it will have | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
on others who are thinking of becoming a firearms officer or | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
thinking of joining the Met. I think we just need to have a little bit of | :12:28. | :12:28. | |
time to look at what has happened. BBC London has discovered that a | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
Council has failed to move ` tenant out of a flat which was deeled unfit | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
for purpose by its own inspdctors. The tenant is living | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
in a property owned by a landlord who earns hundreds of thous`nds | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
of pounds by renting rooms to But, as Anjana Gadgil explahns, | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
Brent Council says there's little it can do until new regulathons are | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
introduced next year. All this was offered for ?245 a | :12:52. | :13:09. | |
week, a room in a house, sh`red with five others. Lawrence thought his | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
housing benefit would cover it. This is the bed bugs. Bed bugs, cold no | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
fire door. He says it is seriously affecting his health. Like living in | :13:22. | :13:30. | |
hell. You cannot have a lifd. I have lost my tooth because of thd cold | :13:31. | :13:38. | |
and the stress. I have sore with all the insects. You cannot livd. I | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
showed the room to an indepdndent expert, who gave me his verdict He | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
has no means of escape in c`se of fire. No fire protection. No fire | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
alarms. Plus, some of the electrics in the property looked decidedly | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
unsafe. That increases the risk of fire even greater. Brent Cotncil | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
agreed. In January is, Brent Council inspectors wrote to the landlord and | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
told him Lawrence's room wasn't fit for use as a bedroom, it was cold | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
and posed a fire risk. A mornt later they wrote back saying, "further for | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
your response we are aagree`ble for it as a bedroom as long as xou | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
replace the door and put in insulated floorings." Neithdr has | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
been done. No housing benefht was received by the landlord for this | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
room. Last year, William McGowan property services received ?730 000 | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
in housing benefit money, plus incentive payments of eight weeks | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
rent per household. We don't know how many homes his company rents | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
out. He said he didn't want to comment on camera. He said | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
Lawrence's case is an isolated incident. The BBC has no other | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
evidence that any other of his properties is in a bad condhtion. | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
There is a shortage of housds for families on lower incomes. 4,00 | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
people on waitth waiting list. ,000 in temporary homes. 500 are housed | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
outside the borough. Brent needs landlords who will take bendfit | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
claimants. The is it a dangdr you turn a bad eye to bad practhce | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
because you need the landlords to house Brent's homeless people? Just | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
because they have a certain number of properties and may trying try to | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
influence the way we work whth them, because he has that number of | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
properties doesn't mean we will cave in to him. We have taken enforcement | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
action against individuals. Councils are loathe to push through with | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
enforcement action when thex find a problem. They are loathed to do that | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
partly for the tenants benefit, they worry they will be evicted. Partly | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
about self`interest if that tenant is evicted the council will have to | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
take responsibility for another homeless people. Sarah tethdr is | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
calling for changes in the law to protect tenants. Brent Council is | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
introducing mandatory licencing next year for shared homes. The Lawrence | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
doesn't want other tenants to go through the same thing. | :16:15. | :16:23. | |
Nicole Kidman's new film based on a bestselling novel by a London | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
Plus, I take a seat with sphke in Finchley and here fond memories from | :16:28. | :16:35. | |
his friends. So, in exactly two weeks' thme, | :16:36. | :16:45. | |
voters in Scotland will dechde whether their country should become | :16:46. | :16:47. | |
an independent nation. But what's the view of Scots | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
in London? And how do they think the c`pital | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
be affected by a yes vote? Here's our political correspondent, | :16:54. | :16:54. | |
Karl Mercer. There's a corner | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
of the capital that is forever Scottish, London Scottish. | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
Across town there seems to be something of an appetite for | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
things from north of the border You don't have to look too far in | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
London to find a Scottish influence. Carol Deeney has now made | :17:10. | :17:11. | |
the capital her home. Her business very much tradhng | :17:12. | :17:19. | |
on her roots. She's leaning towards supporting | :17:20. | :17:21. | |
independence, but knows it lay raise questions for her work. | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
To be honest, I haven't been given enough information | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
about how it might change the way that I buy from Scotland. | :17:27. | :17:28. | |
I don't know if we'll have an import tax, will | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
there be different VAT systdms? It's something that I'm going to | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
have to spend some time and get more information about. | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
Back at the rugby, London Scots are getting a bit of a beating from | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
their rivals north of the border. Some of | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
the opinions too are pretty strong. I primarily think it's to do with | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
Westminster and probably London in general, where a lot | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
of people feel there's a lot of greed, arrogance and it's nothing | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
to do with the rest of Engl`nd. I think a lot of the rest | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
of the England wouldn't mind being independent from London. | :17:55. | :18:02. | |
I feel Scottish, but I feel very British and I will be definhtely | :18:03. | :18:10. | |
voting for, we're better together. We don't know what currency. | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
We don't know how it's going to pan out. | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
It's not something you can go back on in five years' time. | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
It's a one way vote, really. Typically, everyone's ` oh, | :18:21. | :18:22. | |
can we do it? Can we do it? | :18:23. | :18:24. | |
Yes, we can. We can do it. | :18:25. | :18:26. | |
Of course we can. We've got capable people all over | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
the place and we can run our own country. | :18:29. | :18:30. | |
Opinions in London, like in Scotland, are split. | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
The referendum closely followed by Scots here, but also being | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
watched by the political cl`sses. It could have an effect on London. | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
If the Scots vote No, that hs vote to stay in the UK, and then get | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
extra tax raising powers, you could easily imagine lots of London | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
of politicians saying, why can't we have similar tax raising powers | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
If they vote Yes, and go, that would leave Britain | :18:51. | :18:52. | |
as potentially a more right leaning, more Conservative country, | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
or the remainder of Britain, where London has been tilting left. | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
It would create a bigger gap between London politics and UK politics | :19:03. | :19:04. | |
With two weeks left, there's still all to play | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
for with polls suggesting the Yes and No divide is shrinking. | :19:08. | :19:09. | |
Scots living here won't necdssarily have a vote, | :19:10. | :19:11. | |
but they will be watching closely. Karl Mercer, BBC London News. | :19:12. | :19:17. | |

It's not often your first book becomes an international bestseller | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
and is then turned into a film starring Nicole Kidman. | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
That's exactly what's happened to a former NHS worker from London | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
It's the story of an amnesiac who wakes up every | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
day with no memory, strugglhng to piece her life together. | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
The author's been telling Brenda Emmanus how thrilling it was | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
to see the Hollywood star bring his lead character to life. | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
You had an accident. You can store information for a day, but hn the | :19:53. | :20:02. | |
morning, it is gone. In thehr second big`screen adaptation, Colin Firth | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
and Nicole Kidman star in bdfore I go to sleep. I like the | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
claustrophobia of it, and how you play somebody trying to piece their | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
life together every day. Thdre are not a lot of female thrillers these | :20:18. | :20:26. | |
days. Stephen Watson wrote the novel between shifts while working as an | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
NHS audiologist. It became `n international bestseller. Now | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
full`time writer, he swapped hospital wards for film studios I | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
was on set with Nicole Kidm`n, playing a character I invented. It | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
was an amazing experience. Xou tried to kill me? Were there parts of the | :20:46. | :20:53. | |
city here that you felt worthy of inclusion? I wanted to set the book | :20:54. | :21:02. | |
here, and it is also the negative aspect of London that true leter | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
setting the book here, in that it can be a very isolating place. I | :21:06. | :21:13. | |
wanted it to be claustrophobic. You have explored the thriller genre | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
before. I like doing them, `nd those were the films as a kid but I sought | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
out. They are the films I whll pay to see. I like psychological | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
thrillers. SJ is now on his second book, having gained valuabld | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
experience from the success of his first. It has taught me a lot about | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
making things dramatic that perhaps I didn't do, or I wasn't quhte so | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
aware of, in the first book. But I think if I had sat down and thought, | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
I am going to write a book that somebody could turn into a | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
screenplay, I think that wotld have been a mistake. The film is released | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
tomorrow. For many, he was | :21:58. | :22:06. | |
the comic creator of the Goons and groundbreaking TV sketch shows. | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
But away from the world of comedy, Spike Milligan was | :22:10. | :22:11. | |
a passionate campaigner, dedicated to preserving the area of | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
London he called home ` Finchley. Today, a memorial was unveiled | :22:15. | :22:16. | |
there in his memory. And Wendy Hurrell went along. | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
A somewhat comical unveiling of a comedy genius. It has taken ten | :22:24. | :22:34. | |
years for the Finchley Socidty to raise funds for their odes to its | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
first president. Spike Millhgan here on the Goon show he crdated for | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
BBC Radio 1 the 50s. Congratulations for the second time! Then c`me a | :22:48. | :22:55. | |
surrealist sketch show. It was very simple. He is the father of `. `` | :22:56. | :23:20. | |
Python. He carried depression with him all his life, and could be | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
morose, but he was a great comic. He hit the lows lower than we do, but | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
he also got more out of a stnset than we do. A lot of people don t | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
think he was a generous man, but he was. Use to encourage me, rdad my | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
books. I don't think I would have been a writer if I hadn't mdt you. | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
I'm not frightened of pussycats they only eat up mice and r`ts. But | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
a hippopotamus could eat a lot of us. What kind of pencil chalets | :23:52. | :24:05. | |
choose? To be or not to be? Spike was also a passionate | :24:06. | :24:13. | |
environmentalist. He was he`vily into environmental issues, `nd this | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
was his London borough. He spent a lot of his life here and rahsed his | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
four children here. The sculptor lives in high Barnet, and hhs work | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
was forged in Limehouse before taking its permanent home in the | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
grounds of this house. As wdll as characters from the Goon show, the | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
bench remembers the happy childhood he spent in India, and the childhood | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
of his children for whom he made up stories about fairies at thd bottom | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
of the garden. It shows the many facets of this extraordinarx man. | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
The inimitable Spike Millig`n. Let's get a check on | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
the weather now with Stav D`naos. The cloud will continue to roll in | :24:51. | :25:19. | |
from the east. As we head through the rest of the night, it stays | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
cloudy. The cloud may even be thick enough for the odd spot of light | :25:25. | :25:31. | |
rain and drizzle. Temperature is not falling below 14 or 15 Celshus. | :25:32. | :25:41. | |
Tomorrow, more of the same. It looks like being pretty cloudy for most | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
places. We should see some spits and spots developing as we head into the | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
afternoon. Most places should be dry, light north`easterly whnds and | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
top temperatures around 21`22 Celsius. On into Friday evening we | :25:56. | :26:02. | |
hold on into Friday evening, we hold onto the cloud as well, and as well, | :26:03. | :26:13. | |
another pretty mad `` mild night. This weather front will continue to | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
trundle southwards through the course of Saturday, bringing fresh | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
air behind it, and on it, m`ybe one or two showers. We start Saturday on | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
a dry note. In towards the afternoon, there may be a p`ssing | :26:29. | :26:38. | |
shower. In the sunshine, 21 or 2 Celsius, but cooler, fresh `ir will | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
be moving in behind that front. As we head towards Sunday, a lhttle | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
cooler, but it promises to be dry with similar spells and sunshine. A | :26:48. | :26:49. | |
pretty fine outlook there. The main headlines: | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
David Cameron says military action against Islamic State is not being | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
ruled out, and that nations must stand together to confront | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
the terrorist organisation. The Prime Minister's hosting a NATO | :27:03. | :27:06. | |

by Islamic State. The policy of the British Government | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
is not to pay ransom monies to terrorists. | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
