On the programme tonight: He was the man accused | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
of a sweetheart deal with the Government to scrap plans | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Today the leader of Surrey Council escaped a vote of no confidence. | :00:07. | :00:15. | |
Also ahead: Scotland Yard - under investigation. | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
After a whistle-blower claims the Met used hackers in India | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
This is illegal activity. It struck me that it was something we really | :00:22. | :00:33. | |
do not expect our police force to do. | :00:34. | :00:36. | |

Good evening and welcome to the programme with me, Riz Lateef. | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
An attempt to oust the leader of Surrey County Council over | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
an alleged "sweetheart" funding deal with the Government has failed. | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
A motion of no confidence in David Hodge was called | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
after a secret recording and text messages emerged, which led | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
to allegations he had struck a deal to call off a planned 15% | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
The conservative councillor denies he was offered a secret deal. | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
It was the back room row that became embarrassingly public for the | :01:28. | :01:43. | |
Conservatives. Could the Prime Minister explain the difference | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
between a sweetheart deal and a gentleman's agreement? The substance | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
of what he is asking is had there been a deal with Surrey County | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
Council that is not available to other councils. And that answer to | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
that is no! Today, the man who caused his leader to squirm was | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
unrepentant. Only weeks after the settlement was | :02:05. | :02:24. | |
made final... Would that have been achieved if we hadn't had out such a | :02:25. | :02:33. | |
strong case for investment? In Surrey, he faced down a vote of | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
no-confidence in his own leadership. Lib Dem opponents pointed to miss | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
sent texts which sparked rumours of a sweetheart deal and to a secret | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
recording leaked this programme. I think it has been damaging to | :02:46. | :03:07. | |
Surrey 's reputation. There have been numerous damaging headlines in | :03:08. | :03:16. | |
the media and I think talk of secret deals and gentleman's agreements, | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
that does not put Surrey in a good light. In the end, his fellow | :03:20. | :03:29. | |
councillors backed David Hodge 47 to eight. His future scenes are | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
secured, though he did not want to speak to us this evening after the | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
meeting. This is the last full meeting of Surrey council before | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
elections in May. And several councillors observed, that is when | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
we'll get the final verdict on this episode from voters themselves. | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
Coming up later in the programme: Coming to Trafalgar Square. | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
We speak to the artist behind one of the latest pieces chosen | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
Scotland Yard is facing two separate investigations tonight. | :03:53. | :04:06. | |
Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary has been asked | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
to look into how the Met handled allegations of electoral fraud | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
and malpractice in Tower Hamlets, while a whistle-blower is claiming | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
the force used hackers in India to spy on campaigners. | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
Let's get more with our Home Affairs Correspondent, Nick Beake. | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
And the Met are also facing another probe tonight over allegations | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
it hacked the emails of environmental campaigners? | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
There were chaotic scenes in Tower Hamlets in May 2014 when the mayor | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
was re-elected there. You can see the police was in the thick of | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
things trying to keep control. Since then, there has been endless | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
criticism that the Met was not as keen to get stuck into the | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
investigation of alleged malpractice and corruption in Tower Hamlets and | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
we know that back in 2015 the mayor was removed from office after being | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
found guilty of electoral fraud. This was in a special High Court | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
hearing. No one has faced any criminal prosecution. Fast forward | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
to just a view weeks ago and members of the London assembly decided that | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
the Met's investigation into Tower Hamlets allegations had major | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
failings. What we've seen today is the deputy mayor for policing Sophie | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
Linden taking the unusual step of writing to Her Majesty's inspectors | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
of Constabulary and saying I want you to investigate the Met's own | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
investigation and today, we have been talking to one campaigner in | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
Tower Hamlets and he along with others are pleased with this step. | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
But the 2014, the police were gripped by inertia. We saw far too | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
often letters ignored and unopened, requests for action, nothing being | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
done. And this has percolated through. We need justice to seemed | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
to be done and are delivered and we need closure on this matter. | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
There were two investigations. The other was they hiked the e-mails of | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
environmental campaigners? Yes, this is the IP PC looking into claims | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
that the Met used hackers in India to essentially get into the e-mails | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
of environmental campaigners, including those from Greenpeace. | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
This all came about rather mysteriously in an e-mail sent to | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
Baroness Jones. She explained earlier what this said. | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
It alleged the Metropolitan Police have been illegally hacking into | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
e-mails are people who are not criminals, not serious criminals by | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
any stretch of the migration campaigners. And this is illegal | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
activity. It struck me as something we do not expect our police force to | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
do and we have to stop it if we possibly can. If these claims are | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
true, it would be unlawful, because you are only allowed to intercept | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
personal communications if it is to do with terrorism or major crime and | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
crucially, it must be approved by the Home Secretary. Tonight, | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
Scotland Yard said in a statement these allegations are deeply | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
troubling and it insists the Met will provide the IP PC with the | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
fullest possible support. Thank you. Next, a move welcomed | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
by motorists but that's They're facing a ban on overtaking | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
along stretches of the M11 in Essex. The restrictions, being introduced | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
next week, are to improve the flow of traffic, | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
especially around Stansted Airport. Our Transport Correspondent Tom | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
Edwards has the story. As we found out today on the M11, | :07:29. | :07:38. | |
it does not take long to get stuck It can be frustrating for others | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
and cause tailbacks on Now, on a section of the M11 just | :07:43. | :07:46. | |

place on this section of the M11 between 7am and 7pm n | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
the uphill sections. What is really interesting | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
is the wider picture and what it means for congestion | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
is a huge issue. This is the M25, where they are | :08:05. | :08:09. | |

for your help after this man broke into | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
a Network Rail compound near Victoria Station on Saturday | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
the 22nd of October. He caused around ?30,000 worth | :09:45. | :09:48. | |

criticised for charging a driver hundreds of pounds for being off | :10:03. | :10:14. | |
sick after he was hit Emil Ibrahimov carries | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
parcels for UK Mail, but is technically self-employed | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
in the "gig economy". The courier company says it's | :10:21. | :10:22. | |
industry practice to charge drivers the cost of finding a replacement | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
if they cannot perform their duties. This Emil Ibrahimov used to be | :10:26. | :10:38. | |
working for the gig economy coming under protection when it comes to | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
rights. He was servicing the rise of online shopping committee brings as | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
our parcels and earning about 70- ?100 a day doing this and a couple | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
of years ago, he was standing behind is fun when a car drove into him. He | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
ended up in hospital, on crutches and then he rang his managers to let | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
them know what had happened. They said that under the terms of his | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
contract, it was up to him to find someone to fill in for him if he | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
could not work. But if you can do that, they were charging him ?216 | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
per day. Doctor Carol Timmy should not work for two months and he ended | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
up going back to cover after four days, because that had already cost | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
?800. He is from Azerbaijan, so his son did some interpreting for as we | :11:23. | :11:24. | |
meet interviewed him earlier. TRANSLATION: He said I wasn't sure | :11:25. | :11:47. | |
whether to get on with my work, because it was so painful, or if I | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
should care about the money. It was a lot of money for me at the time. | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
It is standard practice? We're hearing more cases of it. There are | :12:00. | :12:07. | |
also added extras. Emil Ibrahimov has been charged ?20 a month to | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
operate his scanner which we have to salmon weeping parcels up. A | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
Government commission is looking into this and we spoke to a lawyer | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
who said self-employed people have rights, but the system is not that | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
balanced. There is some more, but it is not as strong as that which | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
employs to employ people. It is a totally different set of rules. So | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
Emil Ibrahimov, if he is genuinely self-employed, his terms will be | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
governed by his own contract and the terms of my contract probably | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
written almost entirely by the company engaging him. He would have | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
had very little say in the terms he signed up to. So we spoke to UK mail | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
and they said they don't publicly about individual cases. The | :12:50. | :13:02. | |
drivers are paid in accordance with their contract and if they can't | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
work, they must pick up the costs incurred by UK mail in arranging, | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
and this happens in less than .5 total driver days. It is very rare. | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
As for Emil Ibrahimov, he no longer works for the company and says he | :13:13. | :13:14. | |
has gone for more reliable work, he is now a Uber driver. | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
How do you navigate around the streets of London? | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
Are you a map connoisseur, or do you just plug in the Sat Nav | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
Well scientists say that using an electronic device can | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
actually switch off part of the brain - which could have | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
Some drivers like to follow their nose and others like to be told | :13:33. | :13:44. | |
where to go. After 100 yards, bear left... More people will not leave | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
home without their trust is out now. It is vital to find places easily. | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
It is supposed to take the stress out of going somewhere you're | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
unfamiliar with. But what effect does it have on our brains? You're a | :13:58. | :14:05. | |
scientist published research said it is quite profound. Volunteers were | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
taken around Soho, one of the most complicated road networks in the | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
world. They were then put in a scanner and using virtual reality, | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
were asked give directions. So we looked is the human brain to see, is | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
there a part brain that knows automatically the number of options | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
all the changes in the number of options. But when they were told the | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
route using Satnav, scientists noticed the navigational area of the | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
brain stopped working. You are no longer engage in those bits of your | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
brain that you would do normally if you are using memory to pick apart | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
the street network as you navigate. So effectively, the son of his | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
turning off the engagement of this brain area. This is seven dials in | :14:49. | :14:57. | |
Covent Garden. There are seven different roads converging here. So | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
I have many options here. My brain is currently trying to work out | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
which road to take. Not just a lie, which were to take after and after | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
and after. It is processing lots of information to try and get me to my | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
destination as quickly and safely as possible. But this research suggests | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
if I were to activate my Satnav here, this will do all the | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
decision-making for me. So that part of my brain just switches off. This | :15:25. | :15:32. | |
research builds on a previous study which found London's black cab | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
drivers have the most developed parts of that part of the brain. | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
They have to memorise thousands of roads, roots and landmarks. It is | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
not in your long term but your short term memory. The brain quickly | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
becomes a sponge once again and clicks on to this road leads to this | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
road at least about road. And over and amount of time it grows. It is | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
extremely difficult, not just because you have got to know 26,000 | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
roads, and thousands and thousands of places of interest, but we are | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
remembering how to remember them again. The research team wants to | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
build on the study to explore the wider medical implications whether | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
under use of this part of the brain contributes to the onset of all | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
signers and dementia. But for the first time, there is firm evidence | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
that switching this and switches off an important part of our brain. | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
Why George Clooney paid a surprise visit to an unsuspecting 87-year-old | :16:35. | :16:43. | |
fan in Berkshire. But first to a teacher in Stepney, | :16:44. | :16:57. | |
who was sacked from his school for encouraging pupils to write | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
poems reflecting the harsh realities Chris Searle's plight made | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
front page news in 1971 when schoolchildren went on strike | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
to support him. Now, more than 40 years on, | :17:07. | :17:08. | |
he's back with another project. Let it flow, Joe. Let your feelings | :17:09. | :17:18. | |
speak for you and let the people know what you know. The other honest | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
words of young Eastenders which got this former teacher the sack. Chris | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
Searle taught English in Stepney back in the 1970s and encouraged | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
pupils to write poetry about their lives. They looked at their | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
neighbourhood and saw what was good about it, but they also saw what was | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
bad about it. And that is what came out in their poetry. Quite a lot of | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
their poems talked about at housing, because at that time, housing in | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
this area was quite grim, for some families. Against the wishes of the | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
headteacher, you published a book of their revealing work and was told to | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
leave and hundreds of children walked out in support. I can | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
remember, even as I came out here, there was one of the parents who I | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
knew who had been quite active in the post man's strike, he was a | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
postman, and he was teaching them how to pick it at the school gates! | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
This was very much a part of life in East London during that period. The | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
children went back after three days, but it took Chris two years to be | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
reinstated, so he set up a writer group for his students and other | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
locals. Some of those where young Bengali children. These young people | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
are quite disassociates from what was going on, not interested in | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
education, well, not feeling like they were involved or included. And | :18:44. | :18:50. | |
they came out of their comfort zone. Chris has been back in the East End | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
working with young people again as part of a new spoken Word project. | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
The young people that I met in the schools that added the workshops | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
they tremendous. They were full of spirit and pride of being | :19:05. | :19:12. | |
Eastenders. And this new anthology of young east end of voices has been | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
published without controversy. Jamie Oliver is calling on families | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
to change the way they consume food. He says too much of what we eat ends | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
up in the bin, with the unnecessary waste costing the average household | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
hundreds of pounds a year. The celebrity chef has teamed up | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
with a new charity to encourage more Alice Salfield caught up with him | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
at Billingsgate Market. Well, already the 40-year-old dairy | :19:35. | :19:46. | |
cow is sizzling away. The potatoes are rather we have wild garlic here | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
and lots of lovely fresh vegetables. That will be cooked an eye by none | :19:51. | :19:58. | |
other than you, Jamie Oliver. What are you doing tonight? We have a lot | :19:59. | :20:09. | |
of influential CEOs and are having a conversation about waste and food | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
education for the next generation, so to charities that come here, you | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
Harvest are my own foundation and we are getting CEOs to cook many food | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
items that would often be wasted. We've got an ex-dairy cow over there | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
which is 14 years old, we've got out of spec veg that we are embracing | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
all we've got foraged items and are using stale bread, one of the most | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
wasted food products out there. We have got 30 chefs from all over | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
London and Britain taking on a CEOs and we are cooking for 20 every day | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
and we will hopefully raise some money, get the story out there and | :20:46. | :20:52. | |
have a great night, fingers crossed. And in terms of that education, what | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
are your top tips on avoiding food waste? Learn to cook. That means you | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
don't have to throw things away. Some of the very best dishes on the | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
planet have come from being frugal, from stuff that might go in the bin. | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
The flavour you get from leftover food or stale bread, it is optimal. | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
It really is. When you know how to cook, you can edit what goes in that | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
been massively. And save yourself a lot of money and it is probably more | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
nutritious. You mention stale bread, but what other foods are we the most | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
of? It depends on what stage. Is it in the supermarket, the farmer, the | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
home? Fruit and veg, massively. That is why we being accepting of a | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
different range of size and shape of vegetables helps our farmers and the | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
land on the economy behind that. So now we have people here fixing the | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
problem locally, so we are sharing those stories and that is really | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
lovely. I will let you continue with preparing. As he mentioned, 30 chefs | :21:55. | :22:02. | |
will be preparing food for 400 people coming here tonight. I have | :22:03. | :22:11. | |
to say, the smell is fantastic. A passionate Jamie Oliver. But all may | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
be quite angry. -- that all made me quite hungry. | :22:19. | :22:20. | |
A whirl of cream with unusual toppings and a re-creation | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
That's what we can expect to see in one of London's | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
It's quite literally one of the biggest platforms and artist can get | :22:27. | :22:37. | |
it one of London's most famous sites. The fourth plinth into | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
Travolta Square has been home to many exciting projects over the | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
years from the ship in the bottle to the huge blue cockerel. Today, it | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
was revealed the current thumbs up will be replaced by two very | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
different pieces. A reproduction of an ancient Iraqi treasure, destroyed | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
by Isis and a dollop of cream with a cherry on top. Jafar disclose a | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
special place, a place of heritage, place of words democracy happens on | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
celebration also and it is a bold move for the city to place in that | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
space and piece of incredible contemporary art. People have | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
responded to the idea of it. Seven and a thousand of them to see the | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
short list in the national gallery to have their say on the | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
submissions. On the winning entries are both in their own way political | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
statements on the era we living in. I've been reconstructing the | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
artefacts looted from the museum. Unfortunately, that project has | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
grown through the archaeological sites being destroyed and the | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
aftermath of the Iraq war. Thinking of cream of this celebratory but | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
unstable substance, and then adding the cherry, you know, it has this | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
very jubilant thrust into the air that maybe harks back to Nelson 's | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
column somewhere in terms of its height. That there are also elements | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
creeping in that perhaps suggest something more malevolent, something | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
more sinister. Both artists are plenty of time to complete their | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
full scale works. The ancient Iraqi treasure will replace the huge | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
thumbs up next March, followed by the giant dollop of cream in March | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
2000 20. -- marched up 2020. A hollywood A-lister has surprised | :24:23. | :24:35. | |
an 87-year-old fan with a bouquet George Clooney turned up | :24:36. | :24:38. | |
unexpectedly at a care home in Berkshire to visit | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
Pat Adams, who lives nearby. Staff from the Sunrise of Sonning | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
had written to the actor telling him it would make Pat's dreams come true | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
if he popped by. The care home's owners say "Pat | :24:48. | :24:49. | |
was absolutely thrilled I saw his picture in a magazine and | :24:50. | :25:00. | |
thought, oh, it will be lovely if he would come here. So we wrote a | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
letter, I believe, and sat and waited and lo and behold, he came! | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
And I've got these lovely flowers and under the flowers were last | :25:14. | :25:14. | |
forever, but the card will. Let's get a check on the | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
weather, with Wendy. Yes, it was chilly, but very sunny. | :25:19. | :25:44. | |
The low pressure system will plonk itself over the southern half of the | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
UK and just very slowly drift over to northern France. But it will | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
spiral around itself for the next few days, so there will be spells of | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
rain associated with this low-pressure before it gets squashed | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
out of the way but with high pressure. Out there at the moment it | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
is not too bad. There will be fairly clear skies and many of today's | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
showers have made it over towards others. They are fizzling out anyway | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
as we go through the night. Still a breeze, but clear skies mean | :26:16. | :26:17. | |
temperature is about 3-4 . The first temperature is about 3-4 . The first | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
of this rain approaching behind me means if you're travelling into | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
London from Surrey you will probably be chased and buy it. Few of us will | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
get away without seeing the rain tomorrow. Some will be heavy. It | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
moves away to the north and leaves us with one or two sunny spells into | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
the afternoon eventually. Temperatures are 10 degrees. But | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
with a breeze and rain, they will feel quite cool. 10 degrees is the | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
best we will do. But this time last week he was 18 degrees! On Thursday, | :26:49. | :26:56. | |
a murky start and cloudy and outbreaks of rain with a North | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
easterly wind making those single temperatures feel even cooler. | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
Friday, well, I don't think you should hang up the brolly just yet, | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
there could be more rain to come. It continues through the weekend, too, | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
but there will be sunshine on both of the days, that it will be 18 | :27:15. | :27:23. | |
degrees unfortunately. -- will not be 18 degrees. | :27:24. | :27:24. | |
The body of Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness has been | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
The ex-IRA-leader-turned-politician died overnight. | :27:29. | :27:30. | |
His funeral will take place in Londonderry on Thursday. | :27:31. | :27:44. | |
I'll be back later during the ten o'clock news, but for now, | :27:45. | :27:47. |
