Now on BBC1, it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Welcome to BBC London, I'm Alice Bhandhukravi. | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
On the 60th anniversary of the birth of the European Union, | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
thousands of proestors took to the streets of Westminster | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
Our reporter Sarah Harris spoke to some. | :00:32. | :00:40. | |
After the violence a few short days ago, a protest with peace | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
Thousands made their way to Parliament Square - many, | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
like pensioner Jaqueline Skelton, had never protested before. | :00:48. | :00:48. | |
Many of her generation voted to leave in the referendum, | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
but she sees that as a disaster for her home city of London. | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
I think it's ludicrous that they talk about hard | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
Brexit is just going to be Brexit and we're | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
And that really, really frightens me. | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
And let me say it is fantastic to see all these European flags, | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
but the flag I really care about is this one. | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
Speakers included Alastair Campbell and Nick Clegg on the 60th | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome, | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
Some onlookers believe the march has come too late, | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
with Article 50 being triggered in days. | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
The nation is going to do it, it's going to happen on Wednesday, | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
and maybe their efforts would have been better used to discuss | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
The whole nation has to work this out - not stamp your feet | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
But organisers say it is right to keep up the pressure | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
Is it going to be a take-it-or-leave-it deal? | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
So we're saying loudly and clearly that we believe that it needs to be | :01:47. | :01:55. | |
democratic at the end of this process, not rushed | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
through, and the people still need to have a say. | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
There were flowers and a minute's silence for those who lost their | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
Those here believe their freedom to protest is exactly | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
That is something they are determined to preserve. | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
Nearly a century of history will come to an end tonight, | :02:12. | :02:21. | |
as the one remaining greyhound track in London closes its doors. | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
The last dog races will take place at Wimbledon Greyhound Stadium, | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
before it's torn down to make way for housing and a new | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
These greyhound racing fans are witnessing the end of an era. | :02:31. | :02:43. | |
After almost 90 years as a sporting venue, | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
Wimbledon Greyhound Track is closing. | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
To me personally and the people who follow the greyhounds scene | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
and the owners and trainers around the country, they're in denial. | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
They can't quite believe that it's going to happen. | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
I'm not surprised, because it's been on the cards for quite a while. | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
I'm not very happy, but that's something else. | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
It falls into the category of stuff you can't fight. | :03:03. | :03:16. | |
At least it's still going to be a stadium, so that something. | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
But we will miss the dog track, it will be missed. | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
The plan is to build a new stadium for AFC Wimbledon | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
at the Plough Lane site, as well as hundreds of new houses. | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
But many of those who have made a living at the track for decades | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
feel London's mayor should have fought harder to keep it. | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
He's made a mistake and time will prove it. | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
He's made a mistake because there will be a hue and cry | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
People will say, why did they let it go? | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
Greyhound racing was hugely popular after the Second World War, | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
But they've been closing since the 1960s. | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
As crowd numbers at the dogs have dropped, there's been an increasing | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
We have lost Walthamstow and Catford in the last sort of 15 years, | :03:51. | :04:00. | |
There's still hope an investor could be found to build | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
a new track in the future, or London may have lost part | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
It is feeling really springlike. Let's get a check on the weather. | :04:09. | :04:25. | |
Hello, hope you managed to make the most of this beautiful | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
Temperatures today were in the mid-teens. | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
Tomorrow we're going to do it all again for Mothering Sunday, | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
although after something of a cool start, with temperatures well | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
down in single figures through the night tonight. | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
But plenty of sunshine from the start of things tomorrow. | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
We've still got that northeasterly wind tempering things | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
out towards the East, but inland we are looking at highs of 14, | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
Another settled day for you on Monday. | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
A bit more unsettled from Tuesday, but it turns a bit milder | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
as we go through the week, up into the high teens by the end. | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
Don't forget, the clocks go forward tonight by an hour. | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
That's it from us, we'll be back in the evening news tomorrow, | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
Good evening. What a belter of a day it has been. If you missed out on | :05:05. | :05:22. | |
the sunshine, don't worry, we will get more tomorrow. The one | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
exception, the Shetland Islands, shrouded in cloud. Elsewhere it has | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
been a stunner. The highest temperature of the year so far, 19 | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
degrees. A beautiful shot here by one of our weather watchers. It is | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
already cooling down and will turn quite chilly this evening through | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
those clear skies. Dry nationwide and in the early morning the clocks | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
go forward and British summertime begins, which means an hour less | :05:51. | :05:51. | |
obsolete, | :05:52. | :05:52. |
