On tonight's programme: - so it's goodbye from me - | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Eight years after a fire claimed multiple lives in South London, | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
the local council today expresses it's "regret" that it | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
Also tonight: A "senseless" and "unprovoked" attack - | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
we hear from the mother of Oliver Dearlove, who was killed | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
on a night out in south east London by just one punch. | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
Oliver will always be with us. We will just have to get an without him | :00:27. | :00:35. | |
in our lives but she will always be there. | :00:36. | :00:36. | |
As Whirlpool says these faulty driers shouldn't be used - | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
we ask where that leaves consumers who say the machines | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
And, why two City of London policemen were tasked | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
with photographing bombed London during World War Two. | :00:46. | :01:02. | |
Eight years after a fire claimed the lives of six people in a tower | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
block in south London - the local council has today admitted | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
Southwark Council were taken to court by the London Fire Brigade | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
after what happened at Lakanal House in Camberwell in 2009. | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
An electrical fault with a television led to a fire | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
which left three women and three children dead. | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
The council has expressed its "sincere regret". | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
It started as a fire in a ninth floor flat. | :01:30. | :01:37. | |
It could and should have stayed that way. | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
But poor fire safety at Lakanal House meant | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
the blaze spread quickly through the building | :01:44. | :01:44. | |
It later emerged that the block had not had a proper | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
An assessment that could have saved lives. | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
I happened to be at home. I had a doctor appointment in the morning | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
but I would normally be at work. I saw the fire developing and it was | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
terrifying, to be honest. It started in one dwelling and within about | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
three quarters of an hour it spread upwards and downwards, falling | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
debris in the case of the down word spread and it was horrifying. | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
Today Southwark council pleaded guilty to four fire safety charges | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
Despite the block being renovated three years before the fire | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
There were no seals on any of the fire doors, there were problems with | :02:29. | :02:38. | |
the stairs and there were no partitions. Put together, it meant | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
the smoke and fire spread more quickly. What happened was, it was | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
laid out in court today, is investment in order to improve these | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
flats for the people who were living in them toned them instead into a | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
death trap and the council failed to supervise the work being done to | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
make sure that it complied with fire safety standards and they feel to do | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
risk assessment after the work was completed to ensure that the | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
buildings or not only improved by the tenants, but they were safe. -- | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
improved for the tenants. Lakanal has been closed since the fire but | :03:17. | :03:24. | |
will reopen next month. Today, the council's barrister expressed | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
sincere regret. I would go further than that, it should never have | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
happened. People lost their lives and it is awful, it really is. I | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
would go further than sleuths to Emacs and see regret, I would say we | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
were in the wrong -- further than sincere regret, we were in the | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
wrong. It says in the last seven years, it spent ?62 million on fire | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
safety improvements over the homes that runs in the borough. It will be | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
sentenced early next week. They are likely to be facing a big fine. | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
That's our top story this Friday night, but we've still got lots | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
to squeeze into the programme tonight, including: | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
Customers are told to unplug potentially faulty driers | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
but Whirlpool insists they're still low risk - | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
we find out about your rights and if you're the owner of one | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
of the thousands of affected machines. | :04:15. | :04:22. | |
The mother of a man who was killed when he was attacked on a night out | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
in south east London, says "no parent should have to make | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
the decision to switch off their child's life support". | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
30 year-old Oliver Dearlove was killed when Trevor Timon hit him | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
in Blackheath Village in August last year. | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
It was unprovoked and will see Mr Timon | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
This all happened on a night out. Oliver Dearlove was with his | :04:43. | :04:56. | |
friends. It was a university reunion evening and they were on their way | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
home in the bumped into a group of women and they were with Trevor | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
Timon. I do not think Tim and liked them talking and she said to Oliver | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
Dearlove, if you do not get out of my face, I will not you out. He | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
delivered this lethal punch to his head. It knocked onto the ground and | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
a passing motorist stopped and gave him first aid. He was taken to | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
hospital but died within 24 hours. Earlier we spoke to his mother about | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
the events of the night. She was at the countryside at the time and she | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
said receiving that form called was like a nightmare. We got the message | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
come through at four in the morning, because there was no signal where we | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
were and the children could not get in contact with us. We were told | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
that Oliver had been assaulted and it was quite serious. We jumped in | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
the car straightaway and started to drive. As fast as we could to get | :05:52. | :06:01. | |
the motorway. The police try to help us but we never caught up with them. | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
We drove as fast as we could and then clear came back to us and told | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
us there was nothing they could do for Oliver. That was the worst car | :06:09. | :06:17. | |
journey ever. The court heard this was not the first time the Trevor | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
Timon had been violent. He had previous convictions for it. One | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
example is when he threatened a bus driver with a golf club. Joy says | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
she does accept the sentence but she would like to see a system likely | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
industrially, that is really have this one punch killing law. The | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
minimum eight year sentence for a one punch killing. Trevor Timon has | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
received six years and five years an extended licence. He does pose is | :06:46. | :06:54. | |
malignant risk to the public in the future. -- does pose a significant | :06:55. | :06:55. | |
risk. Thank you very much. We hear a lot about | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
the shortage of homes in London, but apparently | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
already enough planning permission is being granted | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
to solve the crisis. Detailed analysis by the business | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
group London First shows 50 thousand new homes should be | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
being built every year - Our political editor Tim | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
Donovan reports. Some plans take simply an age | :07:16. | :07:16. | |
to get off the ground. Take Chelsea Barracks here - | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
vacated nearly a decade ago and things are only | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
beginning to happen. Tracking all the homes given | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
planning permission in London since 2010 has revealed that | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
a lot never materialised. We are losing one in three homes | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
between them being granted It is also showing it is | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
taking on average over three years to build | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
a One reason this matter | :07:48. | :07:48. | |
so much is because firms in London are complaining | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
about the difficulty Daniel's work at this Shoreditch | :07:53. | :07:53. | |

it was still cheaper than moving to London into a smaller flat | :08:05. | :08:16. | |
in maybe not as nice a location. It purely on the basis | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
that it is not In 2013, planning permission | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
was granted for more By the time 2016 came | :08:22. | :08:25. | |

the data shows that nearly 14,000 A couple of reasons, | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
including new transport stations do not materialise or there are | :08:36. | :08:48. | |
problems with design or the economic Two years ago, permission | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
was given to turn this office block in Lewisham | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
into more than 200 flats. One developer sold on to another | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
and the council says Across London we have | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
lots of pockets of land. We have got developers | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
and there is no financial incentive | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
for them to get building. Something like a land tax might | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
address some of these issues. You take away that | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
financial incentive. At the moment, the | :09:15. | :09:15. | |
developers to have the They know that that is there | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
so they can just wait it out. The Government says | :09:18. | :09:30. | |
they know things are It recently proposed | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
shortening the period It says it intends | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
to hold councils and developers more | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
to account in future. If most of the homes given planning | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
permission last year were actually built, by 2019 | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
we would be cloe to that 50,000 homes a year figure | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
which the mayor and others say But for many reasons, | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
that remains a big ask. The high cost of living is causing | :09:50. | :10:14. | |
in brain drain. The mayor says it is a worrying trend. Here is our | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
education reporter. As spring struggles to life, it is that time | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
of year where teachers start thinking about new beginnings. Many | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
are in increasingly considering moving to a job outside of the | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
capital. I would like to have a better quality of life and living in | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
London, a large amount of my earnings is spent on housing and on | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
all the other costs. Transport is not cheap. Into thousand and 16, 30% | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
of all applications wherever posts outside of the capital. About half | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
are schools in the Home Counties. That involves a pay cut. After five | :10:56. | :11:03. | |
years in the job, a London-based salary is ?35,000. That is about 14% | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
lower. Housing and living costs are 14% cheaper outside of London. The | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
school in London has much more competition around it. Teachers are | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
more likely to move schools in London. London is growing much | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
faster. Schools need to get bigger quicker and there is more | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
competition for jobs outside of teaching. Having said that, London | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
attracts more teachers than it spits out. Lots of the people want to come | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
here. It is a great place young teachers to come and work. The drain | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
of experienced teachers away, something the mayor, munching his | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
education conference today, viewers could undermine improvement in | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
London schools. We have the most talented teachers coming to London. | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
-- we want. As a consequence of funding decisions made by central | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
Government, schools and funding bodies cannot recruit and retain the | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
teachers. The Government is spending more than ?1 billion on recruitment | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
this Parliament and Minister said there are more teachers in schools | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
than ever before. Plenty of head teachers are struggling. We would | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
have got 30 or 40 applications for a post now we're looking at five or | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
eight. It is balancing the well-being against the need for the | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
pupils. Trying to achieve a system that allows both to happen without | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
that being a conflict. London mobiles have a unique attraction, | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
but when the shine started to fade, it seems teachers are not afraid to | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
up sticks and leave. We'll find out why two City | :12:35. | :12:43. | |
of London policemen were tasked with quietly photographing London | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
during World War Two. After the drama of storm Doris, blue | :12:50. | :13:00. | |
skies. I will have the details later on in the show. | :13:01. | :13:09. | |
15 people, believed to be from Iraq, have been found hiding | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
inside pallets of fruit in the back of a lorry. | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
Police say the people include a family of five, | :13:18. | :13:19. | |
Essex Police have improved the way it protects children who are at | :13:20. | :13:35. | |
risk. One year ago, serious failings were found in the force when it came | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
to protecting vulnerable children. The force still needs to improve the | :13:42. | :13:43. | |
way it deals with missing children. Families in London are demanding | :13:44. | :14:00. | |
full refunds for what they're Last year one of the machines, | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
made by Whirlpool caused a serious fire at a block | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
of flats in Shepherd's Bush. This week, after pressure | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
from Trading Standards, the company finally changed its advice | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
and told people not Well, we're told there's a fault | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
with the 'heating element'. When it comes into contact | :14:14. | :14:21. | |
with clothing fluff it can cause But this isn't just 'Whirlpool' | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
branded dryers we're talking about. The company also owns Hotpoint, | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
Creda, 'Proline', 'Swan' and 'Indesit' dryers - | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
so if you brought one of those machines between April | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
2004 and October 2015, So what's changed | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
in the last few days? Well, customers were told | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
they were safe to use if cleaned after each cycle | :14:45. | :14:46. | |
and as long as someone But now Whirlpool has | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
said the dryers are not safe to use at all - | :14:49. | :14:56. | |
and they all need to be 'unplugged' So where does that leave | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
customers who don't This is all very confusing. We do | :15:00. | :15:12. | |
consumers stand? The advice is now very clear. | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
If you do have one of these models, switch it off and do not use it. Get | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
in touch with whirlpool and demand a replacement. You have been demanding | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
something to be done for a number of months. We have been campaigning for | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
the advice to be changed from, as you describe, to supervise your | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
machine, to unplug them. We could see so many cases of people owning | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
these and then bursting into flames in their home. We spoke to Whirlpool | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
today in America and they said the drivers are still low risk and | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
fixing them is the best option. Do you agree? Actually, what we think, | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
now that the advice is unplug and do not use them, what they are saying | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
is that the art unfit for purpose. We think there should be a full | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
recall of these machines. What they are saying is it is a gamble if you | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
use them. It is a risk. A lot of people on Facebook who agree with | :16:09. | :16:09. | |
you. One customer said it was like | :16:10. | :16:10. | |
having a "fire hazard" in her home and another | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
called for a refund, Somebody else got in touch with us | :16:15. | :16:30. | |
and said... That is what you are saying. People are well within their | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
rights to go back to the retailer from where they purchased their | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
machines. As you said earlier, these machines have been around a while. | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
You will not get that full refund. The best thing is to go back to | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
Whirlpool and demand a replacement. Looking at this practically, there | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
will be thousands of people watching this who have got one of these | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
machines and thinking, the Whirlpool are saying it is low risk and it has | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
been working OK up to now. Come Monday morning, let's just put this | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
show it in the dryer or dress in the dryer. Too much risk? Is it worth a | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
gamble? You have seen footage of the Shepherd's Bush fire where the flats | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
went up in flames because the poor lady whose machine cot fire, she had | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
no idea it was going to catch fire and at that point, Whirlpool were | :17:23. | :17:33. | |
saying they were low risk. But the fact is they are dangerous and you | :17:34. | :17:35. | |
cannot take that risk. Thank you for that advice and a lot of people are | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
listening to that. I think we have a statement from Whirlpool. Whirlpool | :17:40. | :17:50. | |
have said this evening that... They say the success depends on as many | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
people as possible registering their machine and 1.5 million consumers | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
have registered. Of these we have resolved more than 1.3 million | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
cases. That is what Whirlpool have to say. Vicki, thank you very much | :18:06. | :18:06. | |
for your time this evening. South west London has been a hotbed | :18:07. | :18:15. | |
of sporting success over the last few months with Chelsea storming | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
away at the top of the football Premier League - | :18:20. | :18:21. | |
and Twickenham playing host to an England Rugby Union team | :18:22. | :18:23. | |
that can't stop winning. This week both Head Coaches met | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
up to swap the secrets Never short on passion, | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
Italian Antonio Conte has Chelsea eight points clear at the top | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
of the Premier League and in with a Australian Eddie Jones | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
has led England to 16 wins in a row and a shot at a | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
consecutive Six Nations grand slam. This week, they met up | :18:40. | :18:55. | |
at England's Pennyhill Park training base to talk about all things sport | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
and Is that anything you took | :19:02. | :19:03. | |
from that meeting that you It was fantastic to stay with him | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
and also to have a good conversation - | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
to see the methods of the worker. Yes, I think it was | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
a great experience. Jones sees qualities | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
in Conte's Chelsea that he himself You can see when his team plays, | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
they play hard, they run hard. Obviously, that comes | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
from him and his desire... You know, there are not too many | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
Premier League sides who want to come and | :19:39. | :19:40. | |
look at rugby teams. Ah, but was there an ulterior | :19:41. | :19:42. | |
motive for Conte? A fact-finding mission | :19:43. | :19:52. | |
for England's next opponents? I know also on Sunday it will be | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
the game against Italy, but I wasn't an Italian spy | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
in this case. It is England versus | :20:02. | :20:03. | |
Italy on Sunday, Chelsea If all goes to plan, it should be | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
another winning weekend in Wherever you're watching BBC | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
London News tonight, there's a chance you might be | :20:13. | :20:22. | |
using speakers to hear me and my colleagues more clearly, | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
as if we're sitting in the room Well, in King's Cross, | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
rather a lot of money's been spent on taking quality sound | :20:30. | :20:37. | |
to the next level - and Emma North has been | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
listening-in to find out why. Has London lost its love for sound? | :20:41. | :20:50. | |
We are surrounded by sand but there is so much... We have no ability to | :20:51. | :20:58. | |
differentiate between all the qualities and wonderful experiences | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
you can have with engaging with different sounds. At spirit land at | :21:02. | :21:09. | |
King's Cross we get a reminder, where the speakers and not the DJ | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
take the centre stage. The price tag's just shy of half ?1 million. | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
The owners claim this temple to sound is the best in the world. | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
Describe how it felt the moment you heard sound coming out of those | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
speakers for the first time? Be here as on the back of my neck went up. | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
Goose bumps. You can pick out the individual elements of the music and | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
somebody says you can walk around the instruments, you were their | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
guitar is, he what the drama is doing. -- here we are the guitar is. | :21:41. | :21:49. | |
If the music is good, it goes on. He could not be further from MP3s and | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
cheap headphones here. What is the difference between a magnifying | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
glass and the Hubble telescope? The do the same thing but one does it 1 | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
million times better. Listening to music in here is a really immersive, | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
emotional, the surreal experience. Although the focus here is on the | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
music, venues like this are not simply teaching Londoners how to | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
listen again. They are pointing us in a new direction in terms of the | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
week the capital does its nightlife. We have seen around one third of | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
London live music venues be last. You do not necessarily need larger | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
venue, night clubs that are open to 5am, they can coexist alongside | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
residents to some extent and places that make you feel more welcome. | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
With the return of vinyl and a rise in album clubs, perhaps we are | :22:49. | :22:57. | |
loving to love sound again. -- learning to love sound again. Take a | :22:58. | :23:07. | |
look at this. This shows when a World War II bomb narrowly misses St | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
Paul's Cathedral during the Second World War. | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
It was taken by two police officers, who's photographs show the true | :23:14. | :23:15. | |
extent of the devastation in London, rarely seen by anyone who wasn't | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
Caroline Davies has been looking at the images. | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
NEWSREEL: Here again are the same firefighters who face peril | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
and danger with the same grit determination and courage. | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
London during the Blitz - a newsreel showing | :23:27. | :23:28. | |
A new exhibition at the Museum of London shows a different | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
Alongside paintings from well-known war | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
artists are some unexpected contributors - two city policeman. | :23:38. | :23:45. | |
They were recording the damage to the city, partially with an aim | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
of recording it so they could think about reconstruction work | :23:50. | :23:51. | |
It is not known if these images were ever used to help rebuild. | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
The destruction was potentially too great. | :23:57. | :23:58. | |
NEWSREEL: London has been wounded during the hours of | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
darkness, but what colossal strength runs in her veins. | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
Even today, many of the images we usually | :24:05. | :24:06. | |
see of the Blitz were recorded as propaganda. | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
But these pictures were never meant to be seen by the public - | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
a coat still hanging on the back of a door. | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
They show a different side to the devastation, less | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
defiant, more private - bookcases intact in the sitting | :24:22. | :24:23. | |
London did rebuild after the Blitz, often | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
along the same street lines that existed before. | :24:30. | :24:31. | |
What is so striking about these photographs is that they show | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
a city that is so familiar, destroyed in a way that none of us | :24:36. | :24:38. | |
You cannot help looking at images of bomb damaged cities without | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
thinking about wider political events and that is | :24:46. | :24:46. | |
This new exhibition shows a city destroyed by | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
Fascinating images there. Now for a look at the weather forecast. Not so | :24:53. | :25:10. | |
windy today. A lot more quiet. It was a pleasant relief from those | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
awful winds we endured yesterday. Lovely sunshine. A tranquil scene | :25:15. | :25:22. | |
here. Tomorrow, we lose the sunshine. A lot of cloud out there. | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
Some dampness at times but dry spells as well. It is not all gloom | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
and doom. Cloud Pelling in off the Atlantic. We had sunshine this at | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
all afternoon but that cloud will be coming across the skies as the head | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
through the night. That will help to keep the temperature is up. Each of | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
out there that temperatures will recover as the cloud arrives. And | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
the rain. A damp start to Saturday morning out there. Temperatures of | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
around five or six Celsius. Not inspiring tomorrow morning with | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
dampness in the era. The breeze as well. The winds are not too strong. | :26:00. | :26:09. | |
Not a lot of brightness. If you see sunshine, you will be doing well | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
indeed. Rain will be mild. Temperatures up into double figures. | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
Factor in that rain, which will be a nuisance at times. That risk of rain | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
continues into the evening. If you're heading out on Saturday | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
night, take something waterproof. You might need it at some stage. | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
Further into the weekend, I am more optimistic for Sunday in terms of | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
sunshine. Although we have another set of fronts coming in, they are | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
targeting more north-western parts of the UK. The east will stay away | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
from those fronts. If you are choosing between Saturday and Sunday | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
for a day out, Sunday is better with more chance of sunshine. Most of the | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
rain will stay away until the end of the day. Looking further ahead, some | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
showers and sunshine. Feeling cool as well. Thank you very much for | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
that, John. Let's take a look at the stories making the headlines | :27:04. | :27:04. | |
tonight. The Conservative Party has won | :27:05. | :27:04. | |
an historic by-election victory in Copeland - | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
it's the first time a party in Government has taken a seat | :27:09. | :27:10. | |
in a by-election for 35 years. Theresa May said her party had | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
secured an outstanding victory. Southwark Council has admitted | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
breaching safety rules - at a block of flats where a fire | :27:20. | :27:21. | |
killed 6 people in Camberwell. The council expressed its "sincere | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
regret" at the blaze That's it from us this Friday | :27:25. | :27:26. | |
the 24th of February. If you can join me again at 10.30pm, | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
that would be nice. | :27:32. | :27:36. |
