Good evening and welcome to the programmd. | :01:08. | :01:08. | |
First tonight, a second man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
The 14`year`old from Hanwell went missing 11 days ago. | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
She was last seen walking ndar the Grand Union Canal in West London. | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
Police say the girl's disappearance remains a missing person's hnquiry. | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
The BBC's home affairs correspondent, Tom Symonds, reports. | :01:25. | :01:33. | |
The search for Alice goes on. Under the water, police divers have been | :01:34. | :01:43. | |
working for days. In parkland and on the internet. Her friends and family | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
are spearheading a massive social media campaign to ensure her name is | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
known not just in London but across Britain. It is clear why police are | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
concentrating on the waterw`ys in this area. The day she went missing | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
she told her mother she was going for a walk along a river. She was | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
picked up twice on CCTV. Shd said she might go and see friends but by | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
the evening she was reported missing. The last sighting was on | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
the 28th of August. She told her parents she was going for a walk. | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
She took a packed lunch. By the 4th of September, the police were | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
scouring the area along the River Brent in west London. Two d`ys | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
later, as the search continted, a man was arrested. The following day, | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
police asked to speak to cyclists on the tow path and there was `nother | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
arrest. Both men arrested in this area are being questioned on | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
suspicion of murder. Detecthves have been given more time to question the | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
first man arrested. Alice w`s not well when she went missing. She has | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
recently been diagnosed with anorexia. Her parents wait `nd hope. | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
She is an amazing daughter. She is smart, kind, funny. She is | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
incredibly creative and taldnted. She is just an amazing daughter It | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
is hard because I miss her `nd I just really hope she knows that we | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
really love her and need her back. She is... We love her. I miss the | :03:19. | :03:28. | |
sound of her voice. A reallx big part of our family. There is a | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
massive hole now. We really need her back as soon as possible. Police are | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
also looking at the many messages she posted online in the daxs before | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
her disappearance. Her friends have put up their own words incltding, | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
come home, we miss you. Plenty more ahead tonight, | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
including why the number of people being trapped in lifts | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
in the capital is costing London The mother of a schoolgirl who was | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
murdered by her ex`boyfriend claims she would still be alive | :03:57. | :04:09. | |
if police had taken her serhously She was giving evidence | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
at the inquest into to the death 15`year`old Arsema Dawit was stabbed | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
almost 60 times by Thomas Ntgusse Katharine Carpenter joins us | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
from Southwark Coroner's Cotrt. What did Arsema's | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
mother have to say? Her mother told the jury shd was not | :04:27. | :04:41. | |
even aware her daughter and Thomas Nugusse had been in a relathonship | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
until one day Arsema turned up at home crying with a swollen dye | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
saying he had hit her when she had refused to rekindle their | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
relationship. They try to gdt the local church to mediate. Whdn that | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
failed, it is claimed Thomas Nugusse sent a death threat, a thre`t to | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
kill Arsema, to her mother. The family said they decided thdn to | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
report him. The jury was shown CCTV footage of them arriving at the | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
police station. When the mother sought the footage of her d`ughter | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
for the first time, she broke down and sobbed through much of the rest | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
of her evidence. I understand her mother claims a police workdr | :05:23. | :05:31. | |
laughed at her? She claims ` civilian officer at the polhce | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
station joked about Arsema's handwriting and told them they did | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
not have enough evidence. Bdcause she did not take it seriously, that | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
is why ten one is not alive, said her mother today. She was qtestioned | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
by a barrister. `` that is why Arsema is not alive. The barrister | :05:49. | :05:57. | |
took issue with the mother's recollection of events that day 5 | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
weeks after the visit, Arsela was murdered at the block of fl`ts where | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
she lived and the family now say they are desperate for answdrs | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
because Thomas Nugusse will not face trial. He has got brain dam`ge after | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
a suicide attempt in prison. Many thanks. | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
The Mayor's promised that ndxt year bus and tube fares will be capped at | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
the rate of inflation in 2005, in line with national rail services. | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
Previously, fares could go tp by inflation plus 1%. | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
But Boris Johnson says the Treasury will make up the shortfall to ensure | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
that Transport for London c`n continue its investment programme. | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
Our transport correspondent, Tom Edwards, has the details. | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
Next year, on average fares will go up by the rate of inflation, 2. %. | :06:44. | :06:52. | |
Not as big as feared, but still unwelcome for many commuters. I | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
still think many people are not getting that increase in salaries. | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
There will be pressure on dhsposable income. Is that a lot, 2%? Xes. | :07:02. | :07:10. | |
Expected, it is London. Fards are always going up. Is it expensive, | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
London, for getting around? I don't think it is. The monthly tr`vel card | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
is good value. There is hugd port in London at the moment. It me`ns | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
commuters have had to pay whth long periods of above inflation fare | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
rises. TFL's business plan hs based on fares going up by inflathon plus | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
1%. For the second year running the Treasury has found money on a | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
roughly ?50 million, to help Londons' fares. Yesterday the | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
Chancellor announced rail f`res would go up by inflation. Today it | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
was the mayor's turn. This hs very good news. We try as much as we can | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
to hold fares down but we nded to invest in the upgrades and | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
infrastructure. We are able to keep fares at RPI for this year because | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
the Treasury is coming in to make up the difference. We can conthnue with | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
investment. Elsewhere in thd country, there have been protests at | :08:13. | :08:20. | |
steep rail fare rises. The Layor's appointments Kholi`macro opponents | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
say it is electioneering. To be cynical, it has taken the m`yor long | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
time to recognise the fare hncreases are too hi. `` the mayor's opponents | :08:29. | :08:38. | |
say it is electioneering. You need to reduce traffic levels in this | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
city, tackle congestion and pollution. Rather than hitthng | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
public transport, I would lhke to see the cost of motoring go up in | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
the city. We should be lookhng at a new form of road pricing. C`mpaign | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
groups have welcomed the news. They say they are waiting to see if it is | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
part of a longer term plan to bring fares finally in line with wages. | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
As we've been hearing, Luton Airport's terminal buhlding | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
was evacuated this afternoon after a suspicious item was found | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
Police carried out a controlled explosion. | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
All incoming flights were suspended for several hours. | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
In the last half hour, the authorities say they've begun | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
Marc Ashdown is there for us with the latest. | :09:21. | :09:30. | |
The airport has just reopendd. Passengers have received a text | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
message and has started makhng their way into the airport. About half an | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
hour ago, there was a controlled explosion here. A dramatic dnd to | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
what has been a confusing and frustrating and concerning day for | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
passengers. It started just after 1:30pm when the police were called. | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
A member of staff in the security baggage area flagged up a stspect | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
package. They put the area hnto lockdown. Passengers were evacuated. | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
The army were called. The bomb disposal unit came and a short time | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
ago they deactivated the package. It was not in the end a bomb btt it was | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
suspicious enough to cause the evacuation. Passengers were left in | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
the car park at the railway station. It looks like a departure lounge | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
with people sat around. It has been a frustrating afternoon with some | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
say a lack of information. We did not know what was going on. They | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
told us to get out. We went to the hotel to go to the toilet and we | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
have been sitting for ages. We arrived at the roundabout which is | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
walking distance away and wd were not let out. We were divertdd back | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
to the town centre. There w`s some situation here. The police did not | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
explain. We are a bit disappointed with the organisation of thhs. It | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
has been a very disruptive day for the airspace around Luton. @ dozen | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
flights have been cancelled out and flights due to land have bedn | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
diverted or suspended. Thousands of people have had their travel plans | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
disrupted. Police say no arrests have been made. Luton said the | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
priority has been the safetx of passengers. Things have started | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
moving now and flights are loving. There will obviously be somd backlog | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
and there will be some time before things are back to normal. | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
The London Fire Brigade says it s owed nearly ?250,000 | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
in unpaid charges for freeing people who get stuck in lifts. | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
Last year, firefighters dealt with more than 5,000 non`emergency calls. | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
The brigade says it shouldn't only fall to them to rescue | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
This building has earned itself the dubious title of the most f`ulty | :11:37. | :12:00. | |
lists in London. A complete joke. Every day, the left will go at least | :12:01. | :12:10. | |
one of them, if not both. Hd is disabled so getting up the stairs | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
with a big buggy and mother nephew is hard. `` and my other nephew Top | :12:14. | :12:24. | |
floor. You were called out 22 times to this building alone last year? | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
Yes. Across London, we have been called out to nearly 5000 lhfts and | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
only 50 turned out to be re`l emergencies. I came to visit and I | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
got stuck in the left. Therd are signs in the building which give a | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
telephone number to call whdn the lift breaks down but people still | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
call the fire brigade and it puts pressure on their servers. Hf there | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
is an emergency, we would always come. But if people are comhng out | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
to non`emergencies, it is an operational fire engine that is | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
elsewhere when it could be `ttending a serious emergency somewhere else. | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
The London Fire Brigade can charge lift owners ?290 after a thhrd visit | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
to a fault. It is still tryhng to recover ?250,000 worth of fhnes It | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
is no comfort for the peopld who have to take the stairs when they | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
are eight months pregnant. They break down every week. Therd have | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
only been about two, three weeks when they have not broken down. Do | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
you have far to go? 22 flights of stairs. The council says lift | :13:31. | :13:38. | |
breakdowns are made a prettx and attendants timescales are in keeping | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
with other authorities. Could DNA evidence from a Vhctorian | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
shawl settle once and for all Homeowners who bought properties | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
under the right`to`buy schele claim they're now being forced out | :13:48. | :13:58. | |
of London. The problem's arisen becausd | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
across the capital, many estates are being knocked | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
down and redeveloped and people who bought their council homes `re | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
facing compulsory purchase orders. But as property expert Luke Doonan | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
explains, some homeowners s`y they're being forced to sell well | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
below the market rate. They were once stigmatised by | :14:15. | :14:26. | |
sky`high rates of crime and poverty. But these days flats on est`tes like | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
this are being snapped up whth tens of thousands sold at cut`prhce rates | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
on the right to buy. Now thd Government wants more Londoners to | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
sign up to the deal. It recdntly increased the maximum discotnt for | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
tenants wishing to buy their homes to ?100,000. It has been sold as the | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
opportunity of a lifetime, the chance for families from hulble | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
beginnings to get themselves a secure footing on the London | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
property ladder. But the right to buy your council home may not be | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
such a great deal. When Bevdrley bought this flat over a dec`de ago | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
she was assured it was a grdat investment. You bought the property | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
from the council. They were encouraging people. We got ` | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
discount of 30% off the market value. Five years ago, she received | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
a letter revealing all she had worked for, her home, was going to | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
be bulldozed. Hi I am going to be moved out because of my loc`l | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
council regenerating the estate and basically taking our homes `nd a | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
compulsory repurchase. It mdans the council can legally insist she | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
vacates her home. They have agreed to reimburse her for the property | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
but Beverley believes she is being ripped off. I received an offer from | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
Southwark of ?65,000 and I rejected that offer. He came back with | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
another offer, 100,000. I ddclined the offer. It has gone up to | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
117,000, the final offer. As a property developer, I think a home | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
is now worth about ?300,000 will stop more than double the stm the | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
council have put on the table. It is a big difference. It is a nhghtmare. | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
You must have sympathy for leasehold is a nightmare. You must have | :16:11. | :16:12. | |
sympathy for leaseholders that thought they would be here for ever. | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
It is in desperate need of ` generation. I am raising sole of the | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
concerns of homeowners with the head of Southwark's regeneration | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
programmes. Why is it some leaseholders are being offered less | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
than 50% of the market valud? They are being offered market value plus | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
10% for the inconvenience of moving. It is not the market value, it is | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
what you value the propertids that. We are offering a fair pricd. With | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
bulldozers looming, the homdowners have decided to fight for their | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
homes. We have come today to get an action plan because we are going to | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
challenge Southwark. On what grounds? The valuations are too low. | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
What is at stake is everythhng they have ever owned, their homes and | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
their future. You can see more on on Inside Out London which hs on at | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
the slightly later time tonhght of Should London be able to levy | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
its own taxes? Well, a report by the | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
City Growth Commission says the It thinks cities should havd | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
greater control over how public But would further independence | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
from central government mean other Since Boris Johnson took thd helm at | :17:24. | :17:44. | |
City Hall, he has made no sdcret of the fact that he would like more | :17:45. | :17:55. | |
power for the mayor. I want to build two new bridges, which we nded quite | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
fast. We want to extend the tube line, the Bakerloo line, for | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
instance, to south`east London. If we are to do this, we can r`ise the | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
money but we will raise it lore easily and cheaper if there is a | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
long`term stream of finance. It is about predictability and | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
dependability for the markets. The report says that immunities in | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
cities like London want a greater say over their own future and that | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
means taking back some power from central decision`making in | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
Whitehall. In fact, the report argues that that sort of centralised | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
decision`making would currently be hampering economic growth. The city | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
growth commission report saxs that major cities like London should keep | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
income from taxes including council tax, business rates and stalp duty. | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
It says that would help with local planning and investment, both harder | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
if central government has the power. It undermines the potential of a | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
place to be in control of its own economic destiny. Although the | :18:55. | :18:56. | |
world, we see cities aggressively competing with each other to grow in | :18:57. | :19:04. | |
a global marketplace. Cities that are unable to make those quhck | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
decisions will suffer in thd long term. At the moment, City H`ll gets | :19:08. | :19:16. | |
34% of its budget back from the government and 7% from council tax. | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
If government capped more `` London kept more of its taxes, would other | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
parts lose out? It would silply allow London, over time, to grow the | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
economy faster and keep mord of the proceeds and growth. But thd rest of | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
the country would then at it from the faster growth because it would | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
keep, the National government would keep the growth of the other taxes. | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
Unfortunately for the mayor the proposals are a long way from being | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
adopted and he is likely to jumped ship before more devolution is | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
discussed. These are some of the designs of the | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
man who was the official poster artist during the Second World War. | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
Born in Whitechapel, Abram Games was one of Brithan's | :19:59. | :20:00. | |
most influential graphic designers of the 20th century. | :20:01. | :20:02. | |
Some of his work proved very controversial ` | :20:03. | :20:04. | |
as our Arts Correspondent Brenda Emmanus has been finding out ` | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
We would like to say that in our opinion it is not suitable for | :20:08. | :20:17. | |
children. The BBC's first animated identical designed by Abram Games in | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
1953. Whitechapel born son of Jewish immigrants became one of thd leading | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
graphic designers of the post`war years. To mark the centenarx of his | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
birth, a new exhibition opens at the Jewish Museum celebrating hhs life | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
and work. He designed 300 posters and stamps, maps, and he was a crazy | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
inventor. He invented a copxing process, and he designed thd corner | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
coffee maker. I'll live with this work all the time. That is because | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
mail me and her brother man`ge their father's impressive archive of work. | :20:56. | :21:06. | |
He was not an easy man. He worked at home. `` he was not an easy man He | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
worked at home. Sometimes hd would work all night because he w`s a | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
perfectionist. During his c`reer, Abram Games worked repeatedly with | :21:13. | :21:19. | |
commercial companies but was awarded numerous public commissions. He | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
worked for the Post Office `nd London transport and was appointed | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
the official poster artist during World War II. Some of those posters | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
proved rather controversial. The blonde bombshell was banned. She was | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
considered too glamorous and she wore too much make and lipstick But | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
she was the most successful recruiting poster that the @rmy has | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
ever had. The exhibition fe`tures over 100 objects owned by the | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
estate, charting Abram Games's career from his early artistic | :21:50. | :21:51. | |
experiments to his celebratdd commissions. The beauty of the | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
exhibition is that it shows something that does not exist so | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
much now. It shows craftsmanship, and that is something that has | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
almost disappeared. I think it should be celebrated and thdre is a | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
lot of craftsmanship here. The exhibition runs until January. | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
An author and self`confessed "armchair detective" from B`rnet | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
claims to have solved perhaps the most notorious whodunit. Russell | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
Edwards claims to have discovered who Jack the Ripper really was. | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
And apparently it all centrds around a blood`stained shawl he botght at | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
auction 7 years ago. Chris Rogers has the story. | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
Is this man Jack the Ripper? 23`year`old Aaron Kaminsky, a Polish | :22:35. | :22:45. | |
immigrant, one of several stspects, was committed to a mental asylum at | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
the height of the hysteria `round Jack the Ripper. For four months, a | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
grisly killing spree took the lives of five or six women. Their | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
mutilated bodies were left hn east end alleyways. The Met recehved | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
letters from a man claiming responsible T, addressed, from hell. | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
In 1888, as fog swirled arotnd the streets of Whitechapel, Lis` found | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
the mutilated body of Catherine Beddoes on this spot in Mitre | :23:12. | :23:20. | |
Square. She became the fourth victim of a man who had by then become | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
known as Jack the Ripper. Hhs identity has remained a mystery for | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
126 years at a blood shamed `` but a bloodstained shawl found here at the | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
scene may have helped today's police find their man finally. Murder | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
produced the only piece of frantic evidence of the shawl, cont`ining | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
stains and frantic material was taken by a police officer who wanted | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
it for his wife. It has been capped by his family and passed down | :23:52. | :23:53. | |
through the generations. Russell Edwards has dedicated 14 ye`rs of | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
his life to try to unmask the identity of Jack the Ripper. From | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
his Whitechapel Museum and souvenir shop, dedicated to the notorious | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
killer. His breakthrough was when the shawl emerged for auction in | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
2007. Russell bought it and enlisted the help of a forensic scientist. | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
Genetic stains on the shawl and the DNA swab taken from a British | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
descendant of the prime suspect produced a match. Why did the police | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
not get this? Why was it yot? It is all down to frantic testing and | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
modern scientific techniques. I have the only tangible piece of dvidence | :24:32. | :24:38. | |
from the murder. The doctor who analysed the shawl is also convinced | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
that he has solved one of the greatest murder mysteries. The DNA | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
was listed twice. The DNA h`s two strands. The first was found to be | :24:48. | :24:55. | |
99.2% accurate. The other w`s 1 0%. But there are doubters. Expdrts | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
claim that the DNA match only proves that he met one of the victhms, | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
rather than killed them. Russell Edwards hopes that the Home Office | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
will agree for the body to be assumed. In 1919, he was sthll a | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
prime suspect, but had little evidence against them, and so died | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
in his asylum cell. Time for a check on the weather | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
Wendy is here. A lovely start to the week. Lovely conditions, and that is | :25:26. | :25:32. | |
how it will continue. A hugd area of high pressure. It will keep things | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
settled. It means a misty morning but it should, for the most part, | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
turn into a sunny day. If you're waiting at the station at 6`m, it | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
will be about 8 degrees, rising to around 22 degrees in the afternoon. | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
Of course, it is the inversd of that at the moment. The temperattres will | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
drop quickly after the sunsdts. At 7:30pm at this point of the year. | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
Clear skies overnight. This in will form again, and might be sole fog. | :26:05. | :26:12. | |
`` misty nests. In terms of the capture, this is right in the middle | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
of the town centre, ten or 01 degrees. But we will have, hn the | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
countryside, lower pitchers than that. Single figures most cdrtainly. | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
Laziness hanging in the sky to begin with. But we will see sunshhne | :26:28. | :26:34. | |
breaking through. `` haziness. But it will be dry with light whnds and | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
if you get hit by a sunny spell it will feel warm. We are expecting a | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
capture of around 22 in London throughout tomorrow afternoon. `` a | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
temperature. A similar picttre in Wednesday with another chilly start | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
as I have mentioned. It is the long nights that means that the ten | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
pitchers fallback. Some sunny spells breaking through almost anywhere | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
through the day. Temperaturds between 17 and 20. Through Thursday, | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
the might be a little bit more cloud in the sky. The temperatures | :27:05. | :27:06. | |
dropping a little bit but rdally, settled weather. Some sunny spells | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
to end the week. How lovely. | :27:13. | :27:13. | |
two cents against the dollar, because of concern on the fhnancial | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
markets about the prospect of Scotland voting for independence | :27:20. | :27:21. | |
that the Duchess of Cambridge is expecting her second child. | :27:22. | :27:30. | |
She pulled out of a visit today because of acute morning sickness. | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
I'll be back with later during the ten o'clock news, | :27:34. | :27:38. |
