Good evening and welcome to the BBC London weekend news,

:00:16.:00:17.

Alice Gross was last seen a month ago today walking along a towpath in

:00:18.:00:38.

Hanwell. Scotland Yard confirmed the RAF were helping aerial analysis to

:00:39.:00:45.

identify areas worth search The Ealing half marathon is an annual

:00:46.:00:49.

event but for most competitors this year was special. So 6,000 runners

:00:50.:00:56.

are beginning their 13.1 mile race over the streets of Ealing. The

:00:57.:01:02.

faster runners setting off. All of them adding momentum to the campaign

:01:03.:01:07.

to find Alice Gross. That momentum added to by the fact that so many

:01:08.:01:11.

are wearing this yellow ribbon, which has become a symbol for the

:01:12.:01:15.

search for Alice. Competitors in the half marathon said the ribbons had

:01:16.:01:20.

spread to much of London. I cycled to Hammersmith to get the tube to

:01:21.:01:24.

south Ealing and you saw them at every bus stop and they became more

:01:25.:01:28.

prevalent, so the campaign has spread much further than Ealing The

:01:29.:01:32.

route included a stretch by the refer Brent, intensively searched by

:01:33.:01:37.

the police, and streets neighbouring Alice's home in Hanwell. Many

:01:38.:01:41.

runners know the path by the river and Grand Union Canal taken by Alice

:01:42.:01:45.

on the day she disappeared as beautiful but lonely. Because I ve

:01:46.:01:50.

gone out early mornings I am a bit wary sometimes, because you don t

:01:51.:01:55.

see anyone around. The senior officer heading the search for Alice

:01:56.:01:59.

says he has never witnessed a community respond to strongly in 30

:02:00.:02:03.

years of policing. It was a response on show today. Not a single runner

:02:04.:02:08.

has refused to wear a ribbon. Everybody has been so willing to

:02:09.:02:12.

take it on board and said thank you for the ribbon and yes they'll do

:02:13.:02:16.

whatever they can to continue showing awareness that she's still

:02:17.:02:19.

missing and to show support for the family. The police say the search

:02:20.:02:24.

continues to wide within. One month after Alice disappeared, they say

:02:25.:02:29.

they will need the public's help to find her.

:02:30.:02:37.

The question of Londoners being able to afford homes here and how many

:02:38.:02:43.

tax the rich and superrich should pay is one of the biggest questions

:02:44.:02:46.

for the political parties ahead of next year's general election. London

:02:47.:02:53.

is said to be home to more billionaires than any other city.

:02:54.:02:57.

Offering say some unrivalled attractions. It is the London

:02:58.:03:04.

markets the chance to make investments probably more easily

:03:05.:03:09.

than in France or Germany. There's a lot of overseas billionaires that

:03:10.:03:18.

are buying into iconic London. Together says it is not just a few

:03:19.:03:22.

wealthy people who create the wealth of our country. It is every working

:03:23.:03:27.

person. This week Labour confirmed they would levy a mansion tax on

:03:28.:03:32.

properties over ?2 million. Details of how and with what conditions

:03:33.:03:36.

still to be confirmed. But it means a relatively small area of the

:03:37.:03:41.

capital will be helping to subsidise the health service across they. 86%

:03:42.:03:45.

of the properties that will be hit by this tax are in London and the

:03:46.:03:49.

South East, the vast majority in central London. The Conservatives

:03:50.:03:55.

have said they will make foreigners selling property liable for capital

:03:56.:03:59.

gains tax, but a new study looking at the escalating wealth of the

:04:00.:04:04.

country's top 1% shows they may still be too close to the rich. If

:04:05.:04:09.

you look at the last four years most people's standard of living has

:04:10.:04:14.

fallen. 99% of people have become more equal. The only people whose

:04:15.:04:24.

income tax have risen is the 1% We'll see this week whether the

:04:25.:04:28.

Chancellor, George Osborne, intends to do more to capture some of the

:04:29.:04:37.

wealth of superrich. The spectacular sight of HMS

:04:38.:04:52.

London verse been given the chance to go on board the frigate and

:04:53.:05:06.

on the way tomorrow. Fog is developing through the early hours

:05:07.:05:13.

of the morning. Dense patches within that as well. There is the potential

:05:14.:05:19.

it could be problematic for road and air travel. In the morning it will

:05:20.:05:24.

take a while to clear. There is cloud around anyway, with showery

:05:25.:05:27.

rain pushing north up from the Continent. That will be fairly heavy

:05:28.:05:33.

as well. Today we've had temperatures above 24 Celsius.

:05:34.:05:38.

Tomorrow they drop significantly. Highs of 18-20 Celsius at best. A

:05:39.:05:43.

different day tomorrow. Some of that showery rain hanging around on

:05:44.:05:46.

Tuesday morning but clearing later in the day.

:05:47.:05:50.

I'll be back just after 10.20pm Have a lovely evening. Goodbye.

:05:51.:06:05.

Good evening. For many, September 2014 will probably hold fond

:06:06.:06:13.

memories. A warm and dry month. Today we had a high of 25 Celsius,

:06:14.:06:19.

77 Fahrenheit in Kew Gardens to the west of London, way above the

:06:20.:06:26.

average for this time of year. Through the night tonight relatively

:06:27.:06:29.

quiet conditions, with clearer skies in the south. I want to draw your

:06:30.:06:33.

attention to these showers in southern Spain and across the

:06:34.:06:40.

Pyrenees. Moist air may trigger showers over channel coasts by dawn.

:06:41.:06:45.

We could have an issue

:06:46.:06:46.
