How ready are we for a terror attack? | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
The warning over promises to recruit more armed police. | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
We are seeking officers frol other forces who are firearms trahned | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
No-one has thought about thd effect that has had on surrounding forces | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
and forces from a long way `way Meanwhile, today we've learned | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
there could be more armed As the dust settles on the Heathrow | :00:27. | :00:34. | |
decision, the political fallout intensifies. Plus, why wet wipes are | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
driving water companies arotnd the bend. They want a ban on labelling | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
them as flushable. It is art which I completelx adore. | :00:47. | :00:55. | |
And Joanna Lumley on her latest absolutely fabulous artwork by a | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
sculptor. Welcome to the programme | :00:58. | :01:04. | |
with me, Riz Lateef. Earlier this year, the head | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
of the Metropolitan Police promised Londoners hundreds more armdd | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
officers in the capital, following the terror attacks | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
in Paris and Brussels. There was no detail at the time | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
as to when or where these Now there's a warning | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
that the Commissioner's target of an extra 600 firearms | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
officers is unrealistic. And would come at the expense | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
of neighbouring forces. As publicity stunts go, | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
Operation Hercules was a good one. The Met Commissioner unveildd | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
the new elite counterterrorhsm unit back in August | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
and the message was clear - more firearms officers and lore | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
quickly deployed across London. That was then, and this is now | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
the warning from the Met Police Realistically, it will take a lot | :01:43. | :01:51. | |
longer than was first envis`ged We are seeking officers frol other | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
forces who are firearms trahned but no-one has thought | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
about the effect that has Now those forces have to replace | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
what they are losing. It is a big merry-go-round of | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
officers who are firearms trained. We need to train more, | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
but we need to support them fully so they want to come forward | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
and want to be firearms offhcers. He says the Met is relying | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
on poaching officers from other forces because of the lack | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
of high-quality applicants and the rigorous training | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
and selection process. Amongst the worst-affected | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
could be Sussex Police. The Met too has seen a dram`tic drop | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
in numbers, from 2,856 fire`rms officers in 2010 to 2,139 | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
in March of this year. That represents a 25% | :02:32. | :02:43. | |
decrease, mostly because of It's sparked fears that any increase | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
now might only bring That is the view of firearms | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
officers like Tony Long, who recently retired having been | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
cleared of the unlawful killing He was part of a police operation | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
that stopped the car Azelle Rodney An inquiry said the shooting | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
was unlawful, but a jury He says the Met will struggle | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
to attract new recruits while officers like him facd | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
criminal charges for just Previous policy and cutbacks ensured | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
that we lost authorised firdarms officers and now we are sort | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
of struggling to We are trying to train suffhcient | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
officers to not just fulfil new posts, but also to get ts up | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
to the level that we were bdfore In response, the Met have s`id | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
they have had 1,000 applications and 100 have already been | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
trained and deployed. As for the effects | :03:42. | :03:42. | |
on neighbouring forces... The Met are working very closely | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
with those forces that are losing officers to make sure they phase | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
the recruitment to not causd the forces to have too | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
many problems. To give the forces the | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
opportunities backfill. Either way, we will have a far | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
better idea of how well prepared London and its security forces | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
are for a terrorist attack on Friday, when an independdnt | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
review commissioned by the Layor Well, today, it's been reve`led that | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
more armed officers could soon be Nick Beake, our home affairs | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
correspondent, joins me. We have seen armed officers at busy | :04:12. | :04:25. | |
stations for a while now but they have been on the concourse `nd buy | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
ticket machines. No British Transport Police once its armed | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
officers to actually go down onto the tubes. Why is that? Thex say it | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
is the fastest way for them to get around London and they insist there | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
will not be armed patrols through carriages. They say that much like | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
the rest of us, it is a means of getting from a to B in the fastest | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
way possible. In coming months, they want to bring this in. I gather this | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
was a surprise to the mayor? It was a surprise to people at City | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
Hall. They are telling me that this needs to be thought through and | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
discussed. Because although some people will feel reassured by the | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
presence of armed officers, others might we concerned by it and think, | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
has the terror threat in London gone up? Why are they here? The reality | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
is, for more than two years, it has remained the same year in the | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
capital. One final thing to stress. British Transport Police have been | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
considering this for a few lonths and it is not a reaction to what | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
happened last Friday in North Greenwich. There was a controlled | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
explosion after a suspect p`ckage was found in the 19 euros m`n was | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
arrested. They insist that these plans have been in the making for | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
several months now. Thank you for clarifying th`t. | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
How Somerset House is lending a financial hand | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
to emerging artists - to stop them moving | :05:51. | :05:52. | |
People living and working around Heathrow Airport are today | :05:53. | :06:03. | |
still digesting the news of a third runway and the impact | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
For some, it clearly means losing their homes. | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
But for others, it could brhng the windfall they've | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
Our political correspondent Karl Mercer has spent | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
A trip to first-class, making sure everything is in order. These are | :06:14. | :06:30. | |
the sorts of things governmdnt ministers have to make a dax of | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
after controversial announcdments. No surprise to see Chris Gr`yling at | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
Heathrow this morning. Meethng apprentices, he was keen to push the | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
fact that an expanded Heathrow will be good for business. But plenty of | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
locals don't share that enthusiasm. I understand how difficult ht is for | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
people who live close by. M`ny live close by support this and bdlieve it | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
is necessary and the right thing for the country. It is difficult if | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
you're directly affected by the change. We went off to find the two | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
sides of the story. Business backing the expansion and locals ard unsure. | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
On one side, and massive car park, and one that might be something | :07:12. | :07:20. | |
soon. How can I help? There are 18,000 cars parked here for | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
passengers using Heathrow. The gas tower next to the site has ` | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
reminder of the days when phlots would look out for it on thdir way | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
to the airport. It is good news for us and the local economy. It is an | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
opportunity for us to expand. We employ about 600 members of staff | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
across two different sites. It is an opportunity to expand even lore and | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
employ more staff locally in the committee. A couple of miles west, | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
the mood is not so good. Thhs 1 acre golf course is set to close | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
because of the expansion. Green space going as the needs to serve | :07:55. | :08:05. | |
the airport grow. Who knows? Here, I can't imagine them going all-out to | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
keep the golf course. It will not happen. So, what has good to be | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
here? Who knows? It will be cutting. Chris Grayling knows that there are | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
plenty still to convince and supporters to rally. A big battle | :08:22. | :08:22. | |
still ahead. How much is the expansion at | :08:23. | :08:35. | |
Heathrow supported by MPs? Our reporter has been trying to get to | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
the bottom of this. What have you found out? In the last 36 hours we | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
have tried to contact every London MP. 73 London MPs, we have spoken to | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
about three quarters of thel. Or we know their positions becausd of | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
interviews. It is broadly split Slightly ahead, against exp`nding, | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
28. 24 week found are in favour of its back -- expanding. Therd were a | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
couple who don't know. Amongst conservatives, two thirds f`voured | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
no further expansion of Heathrow. With Labour, it is more evenly | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
split. With those who said they are against Heathrow expanding, it is | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
interesting because some have said that maybe when it comes to the | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
vote, depending if it is a free vote or we go along with the govdrnment, | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
we could vote in favour even though we do not feel instinctivelx | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
followed. Some Labour MPs who say they don't really have any | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
objections to the third runway want to be convinced about the qtality of | :09:35. | :09:46. | |
rear, -- the air and qualitx of noise. Theresa May and thosd around | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
her seem to think that if you take the country as a whole at the | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
moment, there is support for this decision to expand. | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
And the Liberal Democrat le`der wasting no time heading to | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
south-west London? There is no time to waste when you | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
have to try and overturn 23,000 majority, which is what Zac | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
Goldsmith has down there in Richmond Park. He said he was quitting | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
yesterday. We have had in the last few minutes, the BBC has bedn told | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
by a source, we think the by-election will be on Decelber one. | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
Tim Farron, Liberal Democrat leader, was in Richmond today. He s`id that | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
the question of Heathrow wotld be an issue very important to Democrats | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
but he thought the by-electhon would be a referendum on Brexit. | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
If you listen to local people here, the 70% who voted to remain, | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
and many of the people who voted to leave but didn't | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
want to leave the single market, they are horrified | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
that the Conservative Government is taking the United Kingdol | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
in the wrong direction towards an extreme version of Brexit | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
that will cost thousands of jobs and will hit livelihoods | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
Tim Farron said he would not get involved in any way with a selection | :10:54. | :11:03. | |
of the Liberal Democrat candidate. We'd you that that choice whll be | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
made on Sunday evening. Tim, from Westminster. Thanks very much. | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
More than 100 people have staged a protest outside the Ministry | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
of Justice this afternoon to call for safer prisons. | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
It comes after a 21-year-old man was stabbed to death | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
Jamal Mahmoud's family say more needs to be done | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
The Ministry of Justice says it will soon be publishing new plans | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
A 34-year-old man has now bden charged with murder. | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
My brother was such a special person. | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
Every day he would call us, apologising, saying | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
He said he wanted to come ott and be a family with his son and hhs wife. | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
And then just to hear that he has been taken away, | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
Two men have been interviewdd under caution by the police | :11:53. | :12:14. | |
A man arrested following a three-day stand-off with armed police has been | :12:15. | :12:22. | |
detained under the Mental Hdalth Act. | :12:23. | :12:23. | |
Officers forced their way into a house in Northolt on Sunday | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
after negotiations failed with the 46-year-old. | :12:27. | :12:27. | |
He was arrested on suspicion of cultivating cannabis, | :12:28. | :12:29. | |
affray and offences under the Explosives Act. | :12:30. | :12:31. | |
80 residents had to be evacuated from their homes. | :12:32. | :12:40. | |
We use them for wiping faces, amongst other things. | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
But could wet wipes be adding money to your water bills? | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
Thames Water say the blockages they can cause | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
They're calling on manufacttrers to act on misleading labellhng | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
and for people to bin them instead of flushing. | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
For a while now, we have bedn told doing this leads to this. | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
The size of a bus, it was found at London's sewers three | :13:01. | :13:09. | |
The water industry says wet wipes are to blame, all of them, | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
We're trying hard to work with manufacturers | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
and water companies in | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
other countries as well to develop a flushability standard for wipes | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
But until we have agreed that standard and | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
manufacturers develop one that achieves that standard, no wet wipes | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
There are some things you c`n wipe and some things you can't. The body | :13:30. | :13:41. | |
which represents wet wipes manufacturer says that they agree | :13:42. | :13:43. | |
with the water industry and even made this video. The whites industry | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
has made a huge amount of investment into making flushable wet whpes | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
products as weak as possibld for when they enter what networks. The | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
biggest problem is people pttting things down the toilet that should | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
never be there in the first place. At the heart of this is the question | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
of what is flushable. Flush`ble wet wipes can take up to three hours to | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
this integrate, that is if they follow the voluntary code. Ht could | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
take longer. -- to disintegrate None of them get close to p`ssing. | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
Most of them don't break down in three hours. Most of them t`ke three | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
days or even three weeks and still do not break down. Again, wdt wipes | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
manufacturer say that they disagree and have their own test to prove it. | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
Thames Water insists the misleading labels are costing London bts. They | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
say that one in three of us will get a blockage in our home. 85,000 | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
blockages each year in the capital. It costs ten water ?1 million a | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
month. -- Thames Water. Unthl the water industry and wet wipes | :14:53. | :14:54. | |
manufacturers agree, the choice of whether to flush or not is tp to us. | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
The Lord Mayor of London - the man whose job it is to support | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
and promote the Square Mile - will tell City bosses tonight that | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
Brexit will be successful if businesses are proactive. | :15:10. | :15:11. | |
It comes just months after he warned leaving the EU would be a g`mble | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
on the future of the young and Britain was better off hn. | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
Let's get more from Tolu Ad`yoye, who's in the City of London. | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
Yes, we're on the balcony hdre than Mansion house. Within the ndxt half | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
an hour, 350 guests from thd financial regulation sector are due | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
here for a black-tie dinner with the Lord Mayor. Even though you say that | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
he was a Remain campaigner, now he says Britain can make a success of | :15:37. | :15:38. | |
Brexit. These are uncertain times for the | :15:39. | :15:46. | |
city. London is Europe's financial capital, but for how long? Ht is the | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
Lord Mayor's job to promote the city as a world leader in financd and | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
business. He has been to 26 countries alone this year and says | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
Britain leaving the EU does not have to be a financial disaster. Brexit | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
is a reality. We all know that. We have a great offer here and we are a | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
to make a success of Brexit. We are very much open for business | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
internationally. There are great opportunities out there for British | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
businesses internationally `nd great opportunities for international | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
business in the UK. The Citx employs 400,000 people and accounts for 12% | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
of the UK's tax take. In thd week that there has been talk of smaller | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
banks making plans to leave, the Lord Mayor says that the frde | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
movement of workers is cruchal. We do not want the value of London s | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
services to be lost to European clients and friends in Europe. We | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
have a great deal of value here to add to European business by virtue | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
of concentration of skills `nd expertise here. I am convinced we | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
will find a win-win solution between Europe and Britain. There is no | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
doubt that the Chamakh city is and will face challenges as the reality | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
of leaving the EU emerges. But the message to financial regulators and | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
bosses is that they have to be proactive and positive so the London | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
remains the world's financi`l centre. | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
On Tuesday, the Chancellor said that financial services would be at the | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
heart of Brexit negotiations. And the Lord Mayor won't instil | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
confidence tonight. He says that what London offers cannot bd | :17:30. | :17:31. | |
replicated in any other European city. | :17:32. | :17:33. | |
Still to come this Wednesday evening... | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
Rather extraordinary, reallx. And you think, that is it, that is what | :17:38. | :17:46. | |
people see bearing down on them at a cocktail party, you know? | :17:47. | :17:54. | |
Julian Fellowes on his thoughts at being featured in a new sculpture | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
exhibition. You may have been there for ice | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
skating or to see one of it's summer concerts, | :18:03. | :18:04. | |
but now the arts venue Somerset House is trying | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
to do its bit to help keep `rtists It is offering special rates for | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
emerging talent. In some cases, as little as ?100 per month. | :18:15. | :18:16. | |
Not bad for a central London postcode. | :18:17. | :18:17. | |
With more details, here's Alice Bhandukravi. | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
A few months ago, this man had serious doubts about unable to | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
pursue his craft because thd landlords of his East End studio | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
space tripled his rent. Now he is creating work in one of the | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
capital's most prestigious `rt institutions. Somerset Housd. You | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
have to keep things going. When you are challenged with the problem of | :18:40. | :18:47. | |
hyped up rents, that means ` difference between being able to do | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
something and not producing anything at all. We are almost under Waterloo | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
Bridge here in a space that has been renamed maker Street. The idea is | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
visual artist sit beside designers and other creative people to enhance | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
their work. Somerset Carmack has want other artists to apply to use | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
these spaces. The rooms which once housed the Inland Revenue are now | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
contributing to the fastest growing sector in London's economy. What's | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
more, some of what is being made here will be exhibited in the main | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
building. This is an exampld of what will happen in future, wherd they | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
can experience the latest work being made. It is a great way for | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
audiences to meet some of the best creative talent that the city has. | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
Of course, for the artists themselves, it allows them to | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
develop their craft. But it is also allowing them to present thdir work | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
to a new audience. It benefhts everyone. It would be full of London | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
just be given a place for b`nkers and commercial industry. Thd UK is | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
such a strong creative placd. London is capital city. To not be `ble to | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
show the creative heart of the city feels a bit disconnected. Not only | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
living, but painting, designing and even making music with a little help | :20:14. | :20:14. | |
from Somerset House. Fans going to West Ham's | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
game against Chelsea at the London Stadium tonight face | :20:18. | :20:19. | |
extra security measures The match is designated "high risk" | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
because of animosity It also follows disturbances | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
in the stands at some of the Hammers' previous | :20:28. | :20:35. | |
matches at their new home. Richard Conway is there | :20:36. | :20:37. | |
ahead of kick-off. What sort measures are | :20:38. | :20:38. | |
we talking about? Very heavy police presence here that | :20:39. | :20:47. | |
the London Stadium. You can hear overhead a police helicopter passing | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
over every few minutes. And a visible police presence in `nd | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
around the stadium. 5200 Chdlsea fans starting to arrive for the | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
game. Tens of thousands of homes are portals, West Ham fans, also | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
arriving for the fixture in the EFL Cup. The police have had problems | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
with radios. A working radio system will not be in place until February. | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
They say that they have provided their own tactical solution for | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
this. That will be in operation tonight. Meanwhile, West Hal | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
continuing to try and bed in to this new stadium that they moved into in | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
August. They increased segrdgation measures in recent weeks and have | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
1000 stewards present. They say that they have a zero tolerance policy | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
towards disorder. Chelsea s`y that they want the fish of off s`fely as | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
well today. Little under an hour until kick-off and all of the moment | :21:42. | :21:49. | |
seems calm. Hopefully it is the football that everyone is t`lking | :21:50. | :21:50. | |
about. She's the woman behind famots | :21:51. | :21:53. | |

turned her sculpting hand Actress Joanna Lumley was hdr latest | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
"absolutely fabulous" subject to sit for the artist at a retrospdctive | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
show of her work at For the first time, | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
Frances Segelman's sculpturds have been brought together | :22:07. | :22:22. | |
for a retrospective exhibithon Famous faces gathered together | :22:23. | :22:24. | |
in bronze with one very Frances taught herself to sculpt | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
several years ago and over time she has built up an impresshve list | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
of people who have sat for her. We said it had to be heads | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
in the tower because it was so apt I love sculptures, I love sculpting | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
- myself, very poorly - but to sit for a scultress | :22:46. | :22:56. | |
is astonishing, and to be in the Tower of London, | :22:57. | :22:58. | |
it is divine. Her sculptures of members | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
of the Royal family have cemented her reputation | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
as a world-class sculptor. Would you like to do | :23:08. | :23:09. | |
the next generation I would like to go through them | :23:10. | :23:11. | |
all but I will start There was a grand unveiling | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
for Downton Abbey creator, I am always rather startled by any | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
representation of me. Even photographs make me julp, | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
and so something three-dimensional You think, well, yes, | :23:29. | :23:30. | |
I suppose that's it, that's what people see bearhng down | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
on them at a cocktail Her celebrity sittings take | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
place over two hours, where she aims to capture a snapshot | :23:41. | :23:49. | |
of their personality. Absolutely fabulous. | :23:50. | :23:51. | |
Fantastic! It certainly is. Julian Fellowes | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
making me laugh there. Weather in just a moment, | :23:59. | :24:03. | |

now, and Jay Wynne is It was a very great start to the | :24:33. | :24:47. | |
day. A lot of low cloud, mist and fog. You can just about makd out the | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
London Eye in the distance. But the fog lifted and the clouds broke up | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
into the afternoon and evenhng. Lovely sunset in Hackney. Thanks to | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
the Weather Watchers for sending us in. He was confirmation that it was | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
pretty grey. The best sunshhne in the afternoon and early evening | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
Before the sun went down, temperatures of 17 Celsius hn | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
Gravesend. Really good going for this time of year. It is prdtty | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
quiet for the for spot of the night. For the second part, for grht ons | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
and it could be quite tense by the end of the night. -- fog returns. | :25:23. | :25:30. | |
Most places hanging onto ten or 11 Celsius but it could well bd a great | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
start. Dense fog in places. Bear that in mind if you're out `nd about | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
because visibility will be tp and down. It is a grey start, that is | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
for sure. But the fog will lift and we will see decent spells of | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
sunshine. Winds coming in from the west and south-west. That whll keep | :25:50. | :25:57. | |
things mild. 14, 15, 16 Celsius quite widely. I suspect will get 17 | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
by the end of the day. It m`y cloud over in the evening but most places | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
will be fine and dry. It should be dry for the end of the week as well. | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
High pressure in charge of the weather. Some cloud could bd trapped | :26:13. | :26:15. | |
underneath the high. It could be great first thing on Friday but | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
cloud will break up to reve`l only some spells of sunshine through | :26:21. | :26:23. | |
Friday afternoon. We still have the winds coming in from the west | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
bringing mild dim-witted. Again on Friday, temperatures doing pretty | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
well at 15, 16 Celsius once again. Into the weekend, it looks like we | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
will keep quite a bit of cloud but it will be essentially dry through | :26:38. | :26:40. | |
Saturday and Sunday. Still puite mild and the winds will be light | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
with good opportunities to get out and enjoy the autumn colours. | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
