Tonight on BBC London: Found guilty of "rough, unkind and | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
cruel behaviour" - the care home workers caught in the act of | :00:15. | :00:23. | |
abusing vulnerable residents. was devastating, really upsetting | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
because we trusted them to look after him. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
MPs say they're "staggered" the estimates for Olympic security were | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
so far out, and they're worried the cost will spiral way over budget. | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
got chosen. I got one of them, so I am really up for it. Their bags are | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
packed, and they're off to Washington. The Islington school | :00:45. | :00:54. | |
girls forging a strong bond with America's First Lady. | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
And bringing his version of the Barber of Fleet Street to the West | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
End - Stephen Sondheim calls his Sweeney Todd - a "love letter to | :01:00. | :01:10. | |
:01:10. | :01:10. | ||
London". Good evening. They were trusted to | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
look after elderly patients, some with dementia, who were amongst the | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
most vulnerable in society. But today, these two members of staff | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
at a private care home in west London were found guilty of 'rough, | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
unkind and cruel" behaviour towards residents. The actions only came to | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
light after an agency care worker secretly filmed the abuse, which | :01:25. | :01:32. | |
showed Sonika Limbu and Pashi Sahota mistreating patients. Today, | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
they both avoided prison - and were given community orders, as Marc | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
Ashdown reports. Exposed, the brutal treatment of | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
patients - Pashi Sahota on the right physically attacks a | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
vulnerable woman. He's clearly very distressed. Many of these residents | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
have dementia. Here an old man was restrained. Today they were both | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
sentenced, 200 hours of community service for Sohota on the left and | :02:01. | :02:10. | |
150 for Limbu, both escaping jail. He also prosecuted the Polish | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
worker. Here, a resident was roughly treated. It may have | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
continued. Very sad and angry that anybody could treat somebody else | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
like that. These are very vulnerable people, and everybody | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. The judge said the | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
victims of the abuse should have been cared for and were failed | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
miserably. He described the general manager at the time as "wholly | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
unfit". She has now been suspended. He condemned the 11-strong | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
committee that runs Dormers Wells for shocking training when it comes | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
to management and staff. Residents can pay up to �25,000 a year. The | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
Care Quality Commission is supposed to regulate. They told us they have | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
made four inspections in 14 months, the latest in January, still | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
raising concerns in three out of five basic standards - not good | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
enough, say some. Ultimately, they had a duty of care to the residents | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
in that care home to not only have highlighted what was going wrong, | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
but to make sure it was put right and quickly. I think they have | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
failed in their responsibles there, so we should be holding the Care | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
Quality Commission responsible for their failures in terms of what | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
took place in the care home. The chair of the management | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
committee was in court. described it as shocking. We're | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
complying with everything at the moment. We intend to comply. | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
you gain tee this won't happen again? As a management community, | :03:40. | :03:47. | |
we're taking a stronger view of the homes itself. | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
The CQC tell us they'll is make spot checks, as will Ealing Council, | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
to make sure nothing like this can ever be allowed to happen again. | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
There is lots more to come this evening, including: | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
Turning old buffet cars into new carriages - plans to ease | :04:02. | :04:10. | |
congestion on busy commuter routes. Managing the multi-billion-pound | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
budget for the 2012 Games was always going to be a monumental | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
task. But today MP's said they were "staggered" that initial estimates | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
for the cost of providing security were so wrong. Our Olympics | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
correspondents Adrian Warner is at the Olympic Park for us now. Adrian, | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
these were strong words from MPs on the Public Accounts Committee | :04:28. | :04:35. | |
today? Some people think this is 2012os | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
biggest blund sore far. They have had seven years to go to all of | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
those other Olympics in Vancouver and Beijing and look at security in | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
the venues. Originally they had it budgeted around �280 million. Now | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
it's up to �533 million, and they need a thousand more guards to make | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
it work in the Olympic Park. Now, that's not going to impress the | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
public, and it's certainly not impressed MPs, and the committee | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
that's responsible for making sure taxpayers' money is spent correctly. | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
Very late in the day they decided to double the number of security | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
guards. They now want instead of 10,000, 23,000. They're locked into | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
a contract with good,4S. They're now spending over half a billion | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
pounds on that contract. We have real questions over whether or not | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
the taxpayers are getting value for money. Will they go with the budget, | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
or have they got enough of a buffer? Well, 2012 say they needed | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
to look at all the testaments to work out the actual costings. The | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
Government in public is saying, yes, we agree with that. Privately, when | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
you talk to Ministers, though, they're a bit frustrated about what | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
they regard as a bit of a mess, but generally the Government thinks it | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
has enough money to get through the Games, that �9.3 million. They say | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
if everything goes wrong, they still have �100 millions left. They | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
feel they're still on time and on budget. What do you think will | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
happen? There are loads of figures going around - 10 billion, �11 | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
billion. We were reporting this two or three years ago because we know | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
every Olympics before always spends more on security than anticipated. | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
The fact is I don't think London is going to be any different. Thank | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
you very much for that. One of the major costs in the | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
security budget will be protecting the Olympic torch as it travels | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
around London in the build-up to the Games. Tom Symonds has been | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
given exclusive access to the Metropolitan police officer who are | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
being trained to make sure the tour goes smoothly, as they have been | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
told to look out for attention seekers as well as violent | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
protesters. 70 days, 80 miles, 8,000 torch | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
bearers, a nationwide event the police know they have to protect, | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
whoever gets in the way. We want to be prepared. We want to be thinking | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
ahead. We want to be ensuring that this is the event that the people | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
taking part in the relay want it to be. This training exercise was | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
testing the security bubble that'll surround the torch - cyclists, | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
motorcycle outriders, a BBC camera vehicle, and finally, the team of | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
police officers around the torch itself, picked for their fleetness | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
of foot. More torch security officers will | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
be used in cities or when the police have intelligence when | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
something like this - what they're calling an intenvention, might | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
happen. What's that everyone wants to avoid - in 2008 before the beige | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
Olympics, the former Blue Peter presenter Connie Huck was carrying | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
the flame when protestify Tibet protesters made a grab for it. It | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
was foiled by the Chinese and London coppers. We're working with | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
forces around the country, who are doing a sthak job. It's their jobs | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
to look after the streets, keep the roads safe. The threats simulated | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
today were low level, but the risk is not underestimated. The torch | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
route is long and well publicised. A full dress rehearsal for the | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
relay will take place next month. Scotland Yard say they've formally | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
identified the headless torso discovered in the Regent's Canal in | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
Hackney as that of the former East Enders actress Gemma McCluskie. The | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
29-year-old disappeared from Bethnal Green last week. A 35-year- | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
old man - believed to be her brother Tony - is being questioned | :08:31. | :08:41. | |
:08:41. | :08:44. | ||
by police about her death. A former teaching assistant from East London | :08:44. | :08:54. | |
:08:54. | :08:55. | ||
has been jailed for five years for helping to fund terrorism in Africa. | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
Shabaaz Hussain from Stepney, gave thousands of pounds to friends | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
who'd allegedly become involved in terrorism activities in Somalia. | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
Police gathered evidence against the 28 year-old as they secretly | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
recorded conversations he had in his car. They also found extremist | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
material in the flat he shared with his parents and brother. Gareth | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
Furby reports. It was from this block of flats in Stepny �10,000 | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
was collected. We don't know who gave the money because false names | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
were used but it ended up in Somalia, destined, the Old Bailey | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
heard, for terrorism purposes. Shabaaz Hussain, a former teaching | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
assistant, sent the money to three friends who had left the country. | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
The court heard to join terrorist activities in Somalia. When police | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
searched his flat on this estate, they found jihadist manifestos and | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
26 files of speeches by the radical cleric Abu Hamza. This afternoon, | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
community leaders stressed they did not support this action. We don't | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
allow these things. We don't believe in terrorists. We don't | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
want anybody to be like a terrorist. We're a normal Muslim. We like to | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
live in this country peacefully. Muslim is not terrorist. But the | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
court heard three friends had responded to an appeal for | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
volunteers from the Somalian insurgent group Alshab ab. One | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
researcher says some Londoners are being targeted, although no-one | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
knows how many have gone. Government has put an estmath mat | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
down saying 50 British citizens are fighting for As l Shabaab. A | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
terrorist organisation like that will not publish how many fighters | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
it has because it might jeopardise them on the ground. Even if one or | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
two may go because they're misguided because they feel they | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
have grievances, if we don't deal with them, that's a problem. We | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
don't want to lose one or even two or a small number of young people | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
going to places like that. defence lawyer says he only wanted | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
to help his friends with their living costs and only suspected it | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
might help terrorism, but the judge disagreed, saying he knew what the | :11:00. | :11:10. | |
money would fund, and he was jailed for five years, three months. | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
Passengers on some of Britain's most overcrowded trains are finally | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
getting extra carriage space. First Great Western, which runs services | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
into and out of London Paddington - have decided to convert redundant | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
buffet-cars to provide extra seating for passengers. But as Paul | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
Clifton has been finding out, it still doesn't mean everyone will | :11:23. | :11:30. | |
get the chance to take the weight off their feet. Here's the problem | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
- all the ten most overcrowded trains in the country are run by | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
First Great Western. Passenger groups say it is becoming | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
intolerable. How often do you get a seat? Well, since the beginning of | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
the year four times. One of those times was at 10.00pm at night. I | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
suppose that doesn't count. Every day you're lucky if you do get a | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
seat. You're constantly banging against people and everything. You | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
have to be ruthless and push people out of the way, yeah, it's a | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
nightmare. Here's First Great Western's | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
solution - it is taking all the old redundant buffet cars it can find. | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
At Kilmarnock in Scotland, these vehicles are being stripped back to | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
bare metal and refurbished with high-density airline-style seating. | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
We're going to put 84 seats in here so they can use them for the | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
Olympics so there is more space, more seating capacity for people. | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
When they're finished, these will be added to existing trains, making | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
the busiest services one carriage longer. Together with other rolling | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
stock, they'll increase rush hour capacity on the First Great Western | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
by 9%. By the time the Olympic Games take place this summer, the | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
vast majority of those carriages will be in traffic for our | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
customers. # This is the age # | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
Of the train! The trains were built more than 35 years ago. They're the | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
oldest long-distance trains in the country. These extra carriages will | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
make life easier on Britain's most overcrowded trains, but they won't | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
mean that everyone gets a see. Growth on the Great Western is so | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
fast, they'll absorb less than three years' increase in passengers. | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
They'll only stop the journey becoming even more overcrowded for | :13:19. | :13:29. | |
:13:29. | :13:30. | ||
Still to come: We speak to the man with a vital role in the London | :13:30. | :13:38. | |
Games, and ask how he'll cope with the Olympic pressure. | :13:38. | :13:46. | |
And I'll be talking about Sweeney It's an unlikely friendship, | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
spanning both sides of the Atlantic, but that's exactly what's happened | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
between the girls at a state secondary school in Islington, and | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
the American First Lady in the White House, Michelle Obama. After | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
their first meeting three years ago, they kept in touch. And, this | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
weekend a dozen pupils are heading over to Washington. Nick Beake | :14:01. | :14:10. | |
reports. And has everyone packed? The school | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
library today, the Oval Office tomorrow. On a trip like none other. | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
Not many people get to go to the bite house. This is a very special | :14:20. | :14:28. | |
opportunity. I really feel excited. I am speechless actually. You know | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
when it is -- what it is like when an old friend invite you to visit. | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
The first lady of the United States of America. This incredible bond | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
with Michelle Obama was forged in 2009 when the First Lady visited | :14:43. | :14:49. | |
Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School. All you are precious and you touch | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
my heart. It is important for the World to know that there are | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
wonderful goals like you all over the world. Last year, she invited | :14:59. | :15:06. | |
pupils to meet her again at Oxford University. Our job, as women, is | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
to envision ourselves as feeders. This time, 12 pupils will fly to | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
Washington to meet a top politicians and business leaders. | :15:15. | :15:22. | |
1200 goals wanted to go. We had to fill out an application form, to | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
inspire -- to answer questions, what makes a good leader, how you | :15:27. | :15:35. | |
have shown leadership skills. And I answered each of those questions. I | :15:35. | :15:45. | |
:15:45. | :15:48. | ||
said Mary Curie inspired me. Maybe we can go shopping! There is some | :15:48. | :15:54. | |
shopping. A bit of fun, next to a lot of work. And of course they | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
will meet again the woman who has made such a big impact. I am much | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
more inspired and determined to get to where I want in the future. She | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
has opened many doors for me. seems this is one special | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
relationship that is going from strength to strength. | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
Sport, and Mark Bright is here. You've been learning Spanish with | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
one of Chelsea's star young players? | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
Quite a week for Chelsea. Things are settling down on the pitch. I | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
met one of their young, of rising stars. Having English lessons since | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
he came over from Spain. This week, he went to south west London to | :16:42. | :16:51. | |
teach pupils some Spanish. The learning a new language is | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
never easy but when a Chelsea footballer is teaching you, | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
suddenly it is more exciting. Pupils at this premier school in | :16:59. | :17:06. | |
Fulham have been taking part in the Chelsea kick-start Spanish project, | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
inspiring kids to learn the language. This week, year for were | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
able to show off their skills to a very special guest. This Chelsea | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
midfielder. He may be a football star, but even he has to make time | :17:22. | :17:29. | |
for the classroom to improve his English. I am from Spain, I have | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
another language. I want to learn better in that lessons. Maybe twice | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
or three times a week with our teacher. Following the sacking of | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
the Chelsea manager last week, he admits life at Stamford Bridge has | :17:44. | :17:54. | |
:17:54. | :17:55. | ||
been tough. We still can do it. We have to believe. Back to the | :17:55. | :18:05. | |
:18:05. | :18:06. | ||
classroom and time for his teaching skills to be put to the test. Estoy. | :18:06. | :18:16. | |
:18:16. | :18:17. | ||
I can't say it. I think I'll leave the rest of the talking to the | :18:17. | :18:27. | |
:18:27. | :18:33. | ||
experts. The THEY SPEAK SPANISH. Adios! Let's stick to English! The | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
he was really good that day with the kids. It is great seeing a | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
young footballer in schools, inspiring them. | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
And Chelsea are at home to Stoke tomorrow. Are they fighting back? | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
If they win tomorrow, they go level with Arsenal. A must-win game for | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
them midweek. At the weekend, they played Leicester in the quarter- | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
finals of the FA Cup. The most important week for Chelsea. | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
I understand Tottenham are in talks about a new deal for manager Harry | :19:05. | :19:13. | |
Redknapp? We have heard Tottenham are in discussion for a new deal | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
with Harry Redknapp. We know he is the favourite to become next | :19:16. | :19:26. | |
:19:26. | :19:26. | ||
England manager. This is seen as an attempt by the Spurs chairman -- | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
chairman. One to watch. Away from football: It's the World | :19:30. | :19:36. | |
Indoor Athletics Championships. Who should we be keeping an eye on? | :19:36. | :19:45. | |
are watching moe farrow in the studio this afternoon -- we were | :19:45. | :19:52. | |
watching Mo Farah. The final is on Sunday. Ahead of the London | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
Olympics, we're trying to encourage more youngsters into officiating at | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
athletics events. His big events can't happen without | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
the officials. Imagine being the man who fires the starting pistol | :20:05. | :20:13. | |
at the 100 metres final? That job goes to Alan Bell. We went to meet | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
him. Hears the track world's most | :20:17. | :20:24. | |
trusted man with a starting pistol. Alan Bell pulled the trigger, | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
launching that lightning bolt in Berlin three years ago. I have | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
started world records before but that was an exceptional piece of | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
athletics history. He didn't break the world record, he blew it away. | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
You play a very small part in history. He has seen the highs and | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
lows, fast forward to that false start last year. The false start | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
was so obvious to everyone. He had his best thrown onto the track | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
before I had even announced, would you disqualify the athlete in a | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
lane number five. He has been a starter at major athletics events | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
for many years but this will be his first Olympics. Working with the | :21:09. | :21:19. | |
:21:19. | :21:19. | ||
Youth Sport Trust, he gears and -- at a masterclass. Through sessions | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
like this, the trust is aiming to encourage more young people to | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
consider officiating at sporting events. You are a vital part of the | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
sport. More and more, the athletes appreciate it. I have been | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
fortunate to attend numerous championships throughout the world, | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
two Olympic Games as a competing athletes. Those experiences have | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
been absolutely made as successful as they have been through the | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
volunteers, the officials. Alan Bell is fired up as a top official | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
this summer. To be chief starter at the Olympic Games for my own | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
country, it doesn't get any better. The Sweeney Todd is a gory tale, | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
which draws on all that was dark and sinister in olde London town. | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
Now, the multi-award winning lyricist and composer Stephen | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
Sondheim is bringing his version of the musical to the West End. Our | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
entertainment correspondent caught up with him, and the star, Michael | :22:15. | :22:25. | |

Ball, ahead of tomorrow's opening night. # Pretty women... The demon | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
barber of Fleet Street let loose on the west End stage and the | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
legendary composer was in town to lend his support ahead of opening | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
night. Is it true you saw it as almost a | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
love letter to the capital? West Side story, I fell in love with | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
London when I came over. I have been an angler far ever since. It | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
attracted me to doing this, when I saw the Stratford East production. | :22:57. | :23:07. | |
:23:07. | :23:10. | ||
To write in London musical. That is exactly why I did it. I was brought | :23:10. | :23:19. | |
up on London 1940s, the movies I saw. It was, to me, it has always | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
been very romantic, mysterious, filled with menace, surprise. | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
have been many adaptations of the great work, including this film | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
version by Tim Burton which surprisingly impressed the composer. | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
He has a huge admiration for London's latest Demon Barber, | :23:39. | :23:47. | |
Michael Barr -- Michael Ball. Is it true you initiated this happening? | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
Because I thought it was a masterpiece. And I did love to have | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
played the part. And I wanted to see it in a big theatre with a | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
large company, with an orchestra that will play music as I think he | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
originally intended. It is one of the goriest of musical productions. | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
Does the fake blood caused a nightmare? It can do. It is sugar | :24:13. | :24:20. | |
paste. I were a bit off, it is sticky. We had one chap who stuck | :24:20. | :24:28. | |
to the chair! Would you ever finally consider writing songs not | :24:28. | :24:36. | |
for musical theatre? If you were approached by a singer? First of | :24:36. | :24:43. | |
all, that kind of music is the kind I can -- it isn't the kind I can | :24:43. | :24:53. | |

Let's take a look at the weather with Peter. It was very great today, | :24:55. | :25:02. | |
is that they signed for the weekend? It has been disappointing. | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
The weather will make it up to us this weekend, we will get some blue | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
skies. In fact, we have some warm spring sunshine to look forward to | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
on Saturday and Sunday. At the moment, there is still a little bit | :25:16. | :25:25. | |
of drizzle. A few cracks in the cloud cover overnight. More cloud | :25:25. | :25:34. | |
than a clear sky. Turning misty as well. With that cloud, it won't be | :25:34. | :25:42. | |
a cold night, 10 Celsius. A grey start to the weekend. The skies | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
will brighten up quite quickly. Then, sunny spells for the | :25:48. | :25:56. | |
afternoon. Lifting the temperature in-town to around 16 Celsius. It | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
will be a pleasant enough afternoon at Upton Park if you are watching | :26:01. | :26:08. | |
West Ham. Mark reckons they should win. On Sunday, similar whether to | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
Saturday. Once again we will have some sunshine. Top temperatures | :26:13. | :26:19. | |
will get into the teens. The high pressure keeping us dry all weekend | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
looks as though it will keep us dry next week. However, it does look as | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
though things will turn a little bit colder, with night frosts later | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
in the week. For the weekend, as I say, some more sunshine to look for | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
two. But it won't feel quite so warm on Monday and Tuesday. | :26:40. | :26:46. | |
Gardeners, watch out for the Frost A look at tonight's main headlines. | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
Italy's president has condemned Britain for failing to tell him, | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
before launching a rescue mission to free two men who were being held | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
hostage in Nigeria. Chris McManus and Franco Lamolinara | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
were killed, as UK Special Forces and the Nigerian military attempted | :26:58. | :27:04. | |
to free them. David Cameron has been setting out plans to speed up | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
the adoption process in England, and remove what he says are the | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
"absurd barriers" to mixed race adoptions. | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
Two workers at a care home in west London have been found guilty of | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
mistreating patients. Sonika Limbu and Pashi Sahota were told their | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
behaviour to patients at the Domers Wells Lodge in Southall was "rough, | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
unkind and cruel". MPs have expressed concern about | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
the final overall cost of staging the Olympics. The Public Accounts | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
Committee says it's staggered the estimates for the security budget | :27:34. | :27:39. |
