Tonight on BBC London News. news teams where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Is this the radical solution to the spiralling costs | :00:07. | :00:08. | |
It is a white elephant. It's a claret and blue painted white | :00:09. | :00:20. | |
elephant, I would demolish ht, knock it down and rebuilt something that | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
is suitable for its purpose. It comes after the Mayor orders | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
an inquiry into the costs If I was a white guy, it wotldn t be | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
happening. This man claims he's been rdpeatedly | :00:29. | :00:39. | |
stopped and searched by police on the Thames - | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
because of his race. Plus: we show you images | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
of what the City would have looked like before | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
the Great Fire of London. And it all began 80 | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
years ago tonight. We'll be live at Alexandra Palace | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
celebrating the birth Welcome to the programme | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
with me, Riz Lateef. First, the logician who says the | :00:55. | :01:20. | |
only way to prevent costs at the big stadium spiralling is to knock it | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
down and rebuild it is something suitable for purpose -- the | :01:25. | :01:25. | |
politician. The criticism comes after the Mayor | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
of London, Sadiq Khan, ordered an investigation | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
into the rising cost to taxpayers of what is now the home | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
of the Premier League football club West Ham. | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
Chris Slegg reports. The golden summer of 2012. Back | :01:36. | :01:44. | |
then, to many, it felt like London's showpiece Olympic Stadium w`s worth | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
every penny. Four years on, there's been problems with access, crowd | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
disturbances and now the revelation of further expense to run the venue. | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
It cost ?272 million to convert the big stadium into a home for West | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
Ham, just ?15 million came from the new league club, the rest from the | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
public purse. A further ?51 million will now be required from the | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
taxpayer. I have ordered an investigation to find that what has | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
gone on in the past, work ddcisions taken poorly, where the negotiations | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
done properly, also to find financial solutions going forward, | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
every summer we will spend lillions in retractable seating and other | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
issues, the question is, whx weren't these things known before? Loving | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
the steeds were supposed to cost ?300,000 a year. Now it emerged the | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
cost will be ?8 million a ydar, because they aren't all that | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
retractable, taking 50 days to remove for Atletico events or | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
concerts and 15 days to reinstall. Some believe it could never be a | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
fully multipurpose stadium. I would demolish it, knock it down to the | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
surface and rebuild something that suitable but it's purpose. H know | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
that sounds bizarre when yot are talking about hundreds of mhllions | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
of pounds, somebody bold enough has got to say, we have got to stop | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
shovelling money into this failure, into this white elephant. Wdst Ham | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
have a 99 year lease at the stadium and chose not to comment today. | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
Sadiq Khan says hitting quarry will scrutinise all. -- his enquhry. It | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
was under Boris Johnson that commitment was made to the HSC, the | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
running track would always stay You can't blame West Ham for taking a | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
massively generous contract, the blame solely lies with the people | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
who signed off on the contr`ct and that's why this enquiry is so | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
important, we need to properly scrutinise who signed off on appeal | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
and mix sure it doesn't happen again. Hopes of recouping some of | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
the costs involved funding ` naming rights partner. Negotiations with | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
one had just broken down. Rhght now this doesn't look like the stadium | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
legacy anyone wanted. Coming up later: the West End is set | :04:06. | :04:16. | |
to see a sort in sales over this festive period. We are at one | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
department store whose Christmas shop opened in August. | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
A man claims he's been stopped and searched repeatedly | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
by police on the River Thamds because he's black. | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
He believes he's being unfahrly targeted by officers, | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
who are looking out for potential terrorists. | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
The Met's denied the allegations as Gareth Furby reports. | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
The Met has teams of officers patrolling the Thames. | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
But at the moment their powers are limited. | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
Unless they suspect terrorism, they can't | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
And one man claims they've been going too far. | :04:48. | :04:56. | |
At least as far as his boat is concerned. | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
Michael Sylvester from Plaistow says he was stopped and his boat boarded | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
without consent when he was on a day trip with friends and children. | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
The reason they stop us is because they | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
Two police boats can be seen either side of Mr Sylvester's boat | :05:13. | :05:21. | |
and he's not happy when an officer boards and asks what they'rd doing. | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
I'd like to know where you've been... | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
If you can answer the questhons about who is on the boat... | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
He got his rope, chucked it on and said he's | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
We fit the description of tdrrorists because obviously they must | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
believe I'm a Muslim. I'm not even a Muslim. | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
This just racism, because I'm black, if I was a white guy behind this | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
wheel here, it wouldn't be happening. | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
Mr Sylvester says before it was boarded, the | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
children were feeding birds. | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
He claims he's being stopped repeatedly. | :06:06. | :06:06. | |
I would say 30, 40 times in the past month. | :06:07. | :06:14. | |
This happens to me every tile I come on this water. | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
The Met has a very different view of this incident, saying | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
patrols are routine and it was one of four stops that day. | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
The Met says the officer thought he had consent | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
and police were concerned about people not wearing life jackets | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
A community adviser on Stop and Search says the event does raise | :06:28. | :06:40. | |
For me looking at the clip, my concern again is the | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
policy, and the understanding of the policy. | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
No one really understands what the police rights are on the | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
The Terrorism Act gives polhce the right to stop and search | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
on the river if an officer suspects a craft is being used for the | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
It is now being recommended the Met is given | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
The police can stop and search somebody | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
they see on the road, in a car, but if it | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
a boat on the river, they | :07:13. | :07:13. | |
simply don't have the powers the moment to stop them and check that | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
everything is OK and everything is appropriate. | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
A change may come as early as next year. | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
Mr Sylvester, though, is not happy with the way hd | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
is being treated under the existing law. | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
Tributes have been paid to an Italian student who w`s killed | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
Filippo Corsini was studying at Regent's University London. | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
He died on Monday after a collision with a lorry | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
He is believed to be from a well-known aristocratic famhly from | :07:36. | :07:49. | |
Florence. The lorry driver has been arrested and bailed. | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
Police are warning about thd use of fireworks in public placds | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
following a number of inciddnts in the capital. | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
Officers were called to this street in Holloway last weekend | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
as fireworks were thrown up and down the road through passing tr`ffic. | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
Campaigners have lost their long legal battle | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
to save an allotment in Watford - that's more than | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
They had challenged a government dechsion | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
at the High Court to allow Watford Borough Council to dxtend | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
the local hospital and build hundreds of new homes on thd plot. | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
The legal bid was seen as a test case for those trying to protect | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
The London Fire Brigade has coped well with cuts to its budget | :08:19. | :08:29. | |
but shouldn't face any more, that's according to an independent | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
Under Boris Johnson, ten fire stations were closdd and | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
more than 500 jobs lost - cuts heavily criticised at the time | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
by Assembly members and described as "dangerous" | :08:42. | :08:42. | |
Our political editor Tim Donovan reports from City Hall. | :08:43. | :08:55. | |
It was a noisy campaign, opposing station closures, | :08:56. | :08:56. | |
and the loss of fire engines and jobs. | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
But the review says that those cuts during Boris | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
Johnson's mayoralty should now be reversed. | :09:04. | :09:23. | |
In other words, London has coped and Londoners | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
I was concerned as to whether we were safe | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
review is good news and we should be reassured that they do a grdat job | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
Clerkenwell was one of the ten fire stations shut. | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
Boris Johnson was accused of recklessness. | :09:38. | :09:45. | |
Some attendance times have lengthened but | :09:46. | :09:46. | |
at City Hall the Conservatives today say they are fully vindicatdd. | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
The changes came from the fire brigade | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
themselves, there was this myth being put about | :09:57. | :10:05. | |
his office, recklessly cutthng the Fire Brigade without a single | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
This report produced by a L`bour mayor, explodes the myth colpletely. | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
One of those accused of peddling that myth was appointed by Sadiq | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
We did campaign hard on it, we did limit the number of fire closures, | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
and I won't apologise for standing up for Londoners and public safety. | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
Do you accept it could look as if you were scaremongering? | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
I don't think we were scaremongering. | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
Boris Johnson had initially planned to | :10:29. | :10:29. | |
make at least twice as many fire station closures. | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
The review also concludes that the Fire Service can | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
cope with further savings of more than ?20 million. | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
But after that, it says, there should be no more cuts. | :10:41. | :10:49. | |
Still to come: I don't belidve there is therapy for that, or that | :10:50. | :10:58. | |
anything can be lessened by songwriting in that way stop Pixie | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
Geldof talks to us about thd influence of difficult family | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
history has had on her music. I am the Alexandra Palace for thd BBC's | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
80th birthday, with Lily, one of the first performers, back in 1837. And | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
she can still do it! As we head towards the Christmas | :11:19. | :11:27. | |
shopping season amid Brexit - could local high streets have | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
to compete much harder while the West End gets a boost | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
from tourists and the low pound Let's get more from Emilia | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
Papadopoulos who's in one Yes, many of us might not bdlieve it | :11:37. | :11:53. | |
but there are just 52 days left until Christmas, and here in | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
Selfridge's, it's feeling Christmassy already. This Christmas | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
shop opened back in August, and their window displays were tnveiled | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
two weeks ago. They in mind most stores wait till after Halloween to | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
unveil fares. Today in London, other stores were gearing up for the | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
season of big spending. The final festive touches to a window display | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
in Knightsbridge. While Chrhstmas may seem a little way off, the | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
holiday spending and adverthsing has begun. | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
It is hoped that the next fdw weeks will bring a much-needed boost to | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
the industry after a tricky start of the year. For many retailers, Brexit | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
has meant a year of uncertahnty but when it comes to Christmas spending, | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
it's good news, it's predicted that the festive period will see more | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
than 2 billion spent, more than ?51 million a day, and 1.6% up on last | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
you's spending, and a lot of that is down to international tourists | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
coming here to shop and takd advantage of the weak pound. With | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
the exchange rate having moved, London, which is always a | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
fantastically vibrant and attractive city, has to be even more attracted | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
to those international customers, we are making the most of it. | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
Department stores in the West End feeling confident but some dxperts | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
are warning it's the high street that could suffer. Somewherd like | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
Oxford Street is going to bdnefit from international shoppers, where | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
as you wouldn't get that on the high street, so it's got to work quite | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
hard to appeal to the local shoppers, to be aware they light | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
feel price sensitive. Ten mhles away from the west end on Ely high | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
Street, did shoppers feel they would be spending more or less thhs | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
Christmas? More or less the same. Trying to make it as normal as | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
possible. Prices are bound to go up sooner or later so probably less. | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
Spending habits may not be changing dramatically but the high streets | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
also have to content with competition from online shopping and | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
while there might be a boon to look forward to now, business rate | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
increases and the continuing fallout from Brexit mean the forecast for | :14:01. | :14:09. | |
the New Year could be less bright. There is definitely still some | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
uncertainty about what spending patterns will look like next year | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
but this year, from here anxway Christmas shopping is well `nd truly | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
underway and officially kicks off at the weekend when the Christlas | :14:20. | :14:20. | |
lights are switched on. Next: let's go back | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
to 17th Century London - and how the city would have looked - | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
before much of it was destroyed New images of a virtual tour have | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
been created by a group of university students | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
and the British Library. The Great Fire of | :14:36. | :14:37. | |
London was merciless. Incinerating thousands | :14:38. | :14:47. | |
of centuries-old medieval btildings. But what did the city look like | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
before the disaster? Student at Leicester's de | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
Montfort University came up with this virtual fly through, | :14:57. | :14:58. | |
using historic maps from thd British Library, drafted | :14:59. | :15:00. | |
while the embers still burndd. We start travelling down | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
Pudding Lane, where the fire started in Thomas | :15:07. | :15:08. | |
Farriner's bakery. You can imagine the fire | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
starting here. wind, stretching west | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
across the city there. St Margaret's Church, | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
just on the corner of Fish Hill Street, of course that isn't there, | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
and this is roughly where the One of the main figures in | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
the rebuilding of London is Robert Hooke, the guy responsible | :15:33. | :15:50. | |
for the design of the monumdnt. Next, Fish Hill Street, | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
close to the site of Billingsgate, for centuries the home of | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
the capital's fish market, bordering Running parallel to the rivdr, | :15:57. | :15:58. | |
it's always been an important road. And people from the City | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
having a lunchtime drink. This is interesting here, | :16:06. | :16:13. | |
Billingsgate and the dock in Billingsgate, because of cotrse | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
that none of exists. That's the wonderful | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
thing about old maps, this helps you visualise wh`t it | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
must have been like. This instant draft of | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
a gutted London was soon after used as the basis of this | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
cutting-edge 17th-century m`p. A vast swathe of white from | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
the Tower of London to the Strand, illustrating the nothingness | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
of a destroyed city. Today, though, we can virtu`lly fly | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
through the streets. As the daughter of Sir Bob | :16:45. | :16:53. | |
Geldof and Paula Yates - Pixie Geldof is no stranger | :16:54. | :16:55. | |
to the spotlight, She lost both her mother | :16:56. | :16:57. | |
and sister to drugs. As the 26 year-old Londoner | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
releases her debut album thhs week - she's been chatting to our | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
reporter Alice Salfield - about living a quiet life | :17:06. | :17:07. | |
in the capital and, how her music It would have been hard for Pixie | :17:08. | :17:29. | |
Geldof not to have ended up in the music business, with her father Bob | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
Geldof and the boyfriend both musicians, it seemed almost | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
inevitable. It was definitely something that I saw as this amazing | :17:37. | :17:45. | |
thing that my father enjoys, and really just loved, and so when you | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
see that with any career, you think, that looks great! But despite her | :17:50. | :17:59. | |
father's fame, she says she doesn't feel any pressure. My dad does this | :18:00. | :18:07. | |
also, I don't feel like I'vd got to something or got to justify | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
anything, I just do what I do and I hope that I do it well. And your | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
style is very different. Very different! It's quite gentld. And | :18:17. | :18:26. | |
soft, I think. I like subtldties in songs and unlike whispers. On her | :18:27. | :18:34. | |
tenth birthday, her mother died from a drugs overdose in two years ago | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
her sister Peaches that also found dead. She says the overall lessage | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
is one of hopefulness. Recording it is very cathartic, singing hs very | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
cathartic. I don't believe there is a therapy for that, or that anything | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
can be lessened by songwrithng in that way. But yes, I think ht's good | :18:56. | :19:03. | |
to get it out, but I don't think it can ever come out. | :19:04. | :19:15. | |
Her debut album is out on Friday. She hopes it'll find it awax to | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
people who take something from it. There are albums that mean so much | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
to me and that I've completdly carried throughout my life `nd I | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
would love this album to become that for one person, that just c`rries | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
them, that's fantastic. That's the hope. We will see! | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
It was 80 years ago today - that the world's first television | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
programme was broadcast from Alexandra Palace. | :19:44. | :19:44. | |
At its launch TV was only on air a couple of hours a day - | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
in order to avoid eye strain and fit around domestic life - | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
Well tonight, Ally Pally is celebrating the landmark moment | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
in broadcasting history and Asad Ahmad is there. | :19:57. | :20:06. | |
That's the mast of whether first broadcast pictures were sent around | :20:07. | :20:15. | |
the country, that there werd only about 200 set at the time, but it | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
was the start of something special. A revolution that spanned the world. | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
This was the BBC Tower at rdception, there is a blue plaque to m`rk the | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
occasion, 1936, the first broadcast. On the left, the first BBC studios, | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
not as comfortable as the one you are in now! When I going colmittee | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
take a look at some of the dvents that have been going on in @lexandra | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
Palace today and have a glilpse of the past. | :20:45. | :20:52. | |
Eventually, the Alexandra P`lace was chosen. This is where it all began. | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
Much has changed but wherevdr you are watching this now, it's only | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
been possible because of thhs place. So with it being exactly 80 years | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
ago and a few hours, broadc`sting started at three o'clock, the BBC | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
has decided to get some of those early pioneers who worked on the | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
first television broadcasts and put them in a room over their four Tea | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
Party. There are some real characters with great storids. It | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
was a meeting of the unsung legends, one told me about his father, who | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
helped the first ever broadcast Did you or your father ever think | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
television would have the ilpact it would have around the world from | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
this humble home in Alexandra Palace? I am sure he had no idea, | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
and I have seen it grow, but for him, I wouldn't think so. Btt TV did | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
take over the world. At the age of 12 you were on the BBC in 1837, any | :21:51. | :21:58. | |
memories of that? Vivid memories. I remember the dressing room `t the | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
back, Leslie Mitchell announced me... I was in the middle and I let | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
my mother sit on the side, ht wasn't a stage, was it? What are your | :22:10. | :22:19. | |
memories of the dress? The dress for my first television appearance, I | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
created quite a stir in the studio! Because I turned up in a bl`ck | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
evening dress and in those days television couldn't take th`t so | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
they were scurrying all arotnd the place to buy something, somdone came | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
up with a very bright, flowdred scarf and they draped it ovdr me. | :22:40. | :22:50. | |
Any advice from either the future? No secret, just hard work and worry! | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
Some good advice from hell `nd there. This is one of the e`rliest | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
cameras the BBC used. Some of you may be familiar with this, one of | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
the old BBC cameras, it's great being hit, like a big toy shop. You | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
are the Chief Executive of @lexandra Palace, what a great time to be | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
here! It's great to celebrate the 80th anniversary, such a grdat event | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
in the history of Alexandra Palace. This really gives us a appe`rance of | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
the past. But what does the future hold for the BBC here? Todax's | :23:27. | :23:34. | |
events are the start of our build-up to the opening of the visitor | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
attraction in 2018 which will celebrate all of this history and | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
heritage that happened here as part of the major East Wing restoration | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
which will have a new theatre and a new place for the public to enjoy, | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
but today is about celebrathng that heritage. So it's not about getting | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
rid of the BBC's presents hdre. You are keeping it alive. We've had so | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
many people passionate about bringing this history to life, about | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
the BBC at the Palace, we wouldn't get away with not doing it. The BBC | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
is part of how the building looks and the history is so important to | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
us. How lovely was it to spdak to some of those pioneers of broadcast, | :24:16. | :24:17. | |
such lovely people with gre`t stories. That's a real opportunity | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
for us, to tell their storids, the people behind the camera, in front | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
of the camera, what that tells us about society, communication and | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
broadcast and how it moved on. Thank you for letting us be here today, | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
it's been wonderful for me hf you want to come down to Alexandra | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
Palace, it is open seven daxs a week, do recommend it. You sound | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
like you have enjoyed yoursdlf! 80 years of broadcasting, what a day. | :24:46. | :24:47. | |
Time now for a check on the weather and John Hammond is here. | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
Southern chilly but sunny wdather, it's been grew yesterday across the | :24:54. | :25:01. | |
capital. Beautiful blue skids and crisp sunshine across the London | :25:02. | :25:09. | |
area, this fantastic picturd. The sun has set the temperatures are | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
falling dramatically, a lot of cloud skating across northern and eastern | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
parts of the UK but missing us so all the heat escapes into space and | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
temperatures will plummet over the next few hours. If anything, colder | :25:23. | :25:31. | |
than last night, I think thd night will be a couple of degrees lower in | :25:32. | :25:38. | |
some places, we could get 2,3 general spots. One or two thick | :25:39. | :25:46. | |
patches of folk, particularly out of town. Cold and frosty start. Some | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
blue sky through the morning, wants the fog shifted away stop the cloud | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
will increase a little bit `cross more north-western parts of the | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
area, as we get into the afternoon, but I think it will stay drx with | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
brightness holding on. But temperatures will never get | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
spectacularly high. Shouldn't feel too bad, but we go back into another | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
chilly night, not as cold tomorrow night, because we have more cloud | :26:19. | :26:27. | |
around and bits and pieces of rain. All courtesy of this area of low | :26:28. | :26:30. | |
pressure, that's going across the country, across our patch as we go | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
into Saturday, so expect sole showers. This weekend, a lot of | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
fireworks parties, if you are going out, it will be a chilly wind and | :26:41. | :26:41. | |
the chance of showers. Our headlines: the conditions in | :26:42. | :26:52. | |
English and Welsh prisons h`s been likened to a bloodbath by the head | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
of the prison officers Association. The government is set to unveil its | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
plans for prison reform tomorrow. The Prime Minister has described the | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
fur is utterly outrageous for banning English and Scottish players | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
from wearing poppies -- described briefer. And the cost of thd | :27:10. | :27:16. | |
taxpayer of converting the Olympic Stadium for use by West Ham has been | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
branded astronomical by the chairman of the Commons sports committee The | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
Mayor has ordered an investhgation into the spiralling costs. That s | :27:26. | :27:34. | |
all the now. More on our website. Or join the conversation on our | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
Facebook page. We are back later, have a good evening. | :27:39. | :27:54. | |
If you trust me not and I trust you not, | :27:55. | :27:56. | |
then what is the point in this marriage at all? | :27:57. | :27:58. | |
Life holds very few things which are genuinely worth having. | :27:59. | :28:01. | |
If you don't possess them, everything else is worthless. | :28:02. | :28:05. |
