Now on BBC One, it?s time for the news where you are.

People in Uxbridge and South Ruislip have been getting used to

the idea that, in eight months? time, they could have a local MP who

Boris Johnson was chosen as the constituency's Conservative

candidate late last night, but as Nick Beake has been finding

In Uxbridge town centre today, plenty had a spring in their step,

but team Boris were the ones celebrating victory. This is like

one, scene one for long process Now I have got to have talks with people

here in Uxbridge and South Ruislip, get to know people. As the

Conservative candidate in next year's collection here, he will

defend the majority of 11,000, but do they want him? I think he will do

a lot for Uxbridge. He has done lots of good things for London but I

cannot see him doing much good. I think he will do a good job and help

people. My concerns are about Heathrow but I know he is opposed to

that. It is such a big generator of revenue and jobs. That concerns me.

Political opponents claim Boris Johnson will be both a lame duck

mayor and a bad local MP. Boris Johnson, I believe, wants to go on

to bigger and better things. He does not have the people of Uxbridge and

South Ruislip at the forefront of his mind. He will spend his first

year in City Hall and the next four years chasing David Cameron for Tory

leader. Boris Johnson denies this is part of a grand plan to get to

Number 10. The Prime Minister has previously said he wants his star

players on the pitch. He would be delighted if Boris Johnson return to

Parliament. But the reality today for people here is that they are now

a step closer to being represented by a man who would have to juggle

two jobs. An Australian radio station has

donated over a quarter of a million pounds to the family

of a nurse who killed herself after being the victim

of a hoax call by two of its DJs. Jacintha Saldanha took a call

at a central London hospital from a presenter pretending to be

the Queen, while the Duchess of This weekend, there's an unusual art

venue you can visit in Islington. It's on a derelict housing estate

and before it's pulled down, photos capturing life in some

of its homes have been put up. Tara Welsh has been speaking to some

of the residents in the exhibition. They're the people of the Packington

estate and these are the pictures Their flats are now empty but open

to the public to see a snapshot of the lives built there before

the buildings were demolished. This is where my mum brought me up,

in this house. Obviously seeing the sofa,

and her sitting there, it made me think there is still a sofa

and my mum was still sitting there. His future home looks onto his past

but his old block will be pulled More than 500 flats are being

replaced and residents are You get these flashbacks

of everything you have experienced, To capture what life was really

like here, displays are made up I felt funny, because it was

life-sized, but after seeing it every time, I am only working in the

flat there, I have got used to it. I can see my brother and my dad

in it somehow. It is funny when you look

at yourself. This is exactly how I felt

about my flat. It might not be your typical venue

for an exhibition but it is hoped Usually you pass by council estates

and you're intimidated, you do not know what is going

on because it is pretty closed. People find it quite interesting

to actually be able to enter. There are only a few more days to do

so as it will not be long until the Packington estate

as they know it is gone forever Hello. Some subtle changes in our

weather at the start of next week, even some rain around for some of

us, but for the rest of the weekend, it will be as you were. Try this

evening, with temperatures gradually slipping away. More of a breeze and

southern parts of the UK. The breeze. Temperatures going down to

fire. It will be chilly in Northern Ireland, western Scotland and the

North of England in particular. There will be patchy fog developing.

Lots of cloud will come into the east of the UK. Tomorrow morning,

you may encounter some patchy drizzle. It will be a great, damp

start to Sandy. The best of the sunshine will be in the West. All

the while, we will keep cloud through the East of Scotland and the

north-east
