:00:09. > :00:14.Tonight on BBC London News: Yet more hold-ups at Heathrow -
:00:14. > :00:22.passengers face lengthy queues at immigration. A union warns of
:00:22. > :00:29.problems for travellers flying in for the 2012 games. We have got the
:00:29. > :00:32.Olympic period coming up. We predict there will be chaos.
:00:32. > :00:40.And we will be live with the latest from Gatwick where a plane was
:00:40. > :00:44.forced to make an emergency landing. Also tonight: There is no reason
:00:44. > :00:50.why we should not be using this lane. Challenging the ban on using
:00:50. > :00:52.bus lanes. The minicab company that is encouraging its drivers to break
:00:52. > :00:56.the law. And recognised for many a hit West
:00:56. > :01:06.End musical - we talk to Sir Tim Rice as he is honoured for his
:01:06. > :01:07.
:01:07. > :01:11.Good evening and welcome to the programme. It has been a day of
:01:11. > :01:14.disruption at the capital's two major airports. An emergency
:01:14. > :01:17.landing by a Virgin aircraft bound for Orlando closed Gatwick for
:01:17. > :01:21.almost two hours. While at Heathrow, thousands of passengers faced
:01:21. > :01:24.delays at immigration this morning. It is the second time in less than
:01:24. > :01:27.a week that lengthy queues have been reported at one of the world's
:01:28. > :01:31.busiest airports. And today, a union warned of chaos during the
:01:31. > :01:39.Olympics and called on the government to intervene. Let's get
:01:39. > :01:45.more from Alice Bhandhukravi who is at Heathrow.
:01:45. > :01:50.That is right. Once again, passengers facing long queues on
:01:50. > :01:54.arrival at Terminal 5 and anecdotally at Terminal two. They
:01:54. > :01:59.faced similar problems last week. The target for clearing passengers
:01:59. > :02:04.through immigration is 25 minutes for EU passengers and 45 minutes
:02:04. > :02:10.for passengers outside the EU. This morning, they had to wait a lot
:02:10. > :02:14.longer. Welcome to Britain. Please form a very long queue. Pictures of
:02:14. > :02:20.the crowds this morning hosted on social networking sites by
:02:20. > :02:25.frustrated passengers. They were fed up. Others were not surprised.
:02:25. > :02:29.Things will get worse. We have the Olympic period coming up. The union
:02:29. > :02:32.is frantically trying to put in place some contingency plans to
:02:32. > :02:37.deal with the increased flow and traffic. We believe there will be
:02:37. > :02:42.chaos that that point for if they do not do anything about the
:02:42. > :02:46.numbers. It is not the first time this summer we have heard that
:02:46. > :02:50.warning. Today, some had to queue for two hours, it seems because of
:02:50. > :02:55.staff shortages. The airports operator BAA says while it is a
:02:55. > :02:58.matter for the Home Office and the border force, a peak waiting times
:02:59. > :03:03.at Heathrow recently have been unacceptable. The airlines are also
:03:03. > :03:07.having their say. We think it is regrettable that passengers are
:03:08. > :03:11.facing delays. We think it is disappointing if it is a result of
:03:12. > :03:16.the fact the UK Border 4th has not been able to commit itself to
:03:16. > :03:20.giving the resources that it should dear. The UK Border force is
:03:20. > :03:23.expected to announce the strategy for dealing with the travellers.
:03:23. > :03:30.They said today queues were only slightly longer than normal but
:03:30. > :03:34.patience is wearing thin. Today's kerfuffle is more embarrassment for
:03:34. > :03:38.London which is the world hub for aviation and it really needs to act
:03:38. > :03:42.like it. I can only imagine people will switch to serve the struggle
:03:42. > :03:45.rather than relying on the air. That is not the kind of talk
:03:45. > :03:50.airlines want to hear. What they and their passengers do want is
:03:50. > :03:54.some good news from passport control.
:03:54. > :03:59.We asked the UK Border force for an interview last week. We asked them
:03:59. > :04:04.again today but they declined. They have sent us an out-of-date
:04:04. > :04:08.statement which says the border force his busy -- prepared for the
:04:08. > :04:12.busy Easter period and staff will be working to carry out vital
:04:12. > :04:16.security checks. Easter is well and truly behind us that and those
:04:16. > :04:19.reassurances will not do much to ease the growing pressure on the
:04:19. > :04:26.border force to deal with the long queues and bring down the waiting
:04:26. > :04:28.times in time for the Olympics. Thank you. And later in the
:04:28. > :04:33.programme we will have the latest from Gatwick following the
:04:33. > :04:36.emergency landing by a Virgin plane. Also coming up: Hoping to make a
:04:36. > :04:45.splash at the Olympics - but could the Games be disrupted by
:04:45. > :04:48.protesters angry over the choice of Drivers at one of the capital's
:04:48. > :04:53.largest minicab companies are being told by their bosses to use bus
:04:53. > :04:55.lanes, even though it breaks the law. Addison Lee is angry that
:04:55. > :04:59.black-cab drivers can use their lanes but mini cabs cannot,
:04:59. > :05:02.claiming it is discrimination. Transport for London say the
:05:02. > :05:10.company is being utterly irresponsible. Here is our
:05:10. > :05:15.transport correspondent Tom Edwards. There is no reason why we should
:05:15. > :05:21.not be using this lane. John Griffin is the chairman of Addison
:05:21. > :05:26.Lee private hire cars. This morning he told all his 3,500 drivers to
:05:26. > :05:30.start using the capital's bus lanes. He says he will pay any of the
:05:30. > :05:34.drivers' fines. We want to have a fair opportunity to compete. There
:05:34. > :05:39.is nothing wrong with that. There is no reason why that taxi in
:05:39. > :05:44.French should have preference over this taxi. We are both taxes. We
:05:44. > :05:50.can only compete fairly if we are allowed into the same spaces as the
:05:50. > :05:56.taxi -- taxi. Addison Lee used the same strategy on the M4 bus lane.
:05:56. > :05:59.They told the drivers to Grote -- go in and got 200 tickets. The aim
:05:59. > :06:05.was to have their day in court but before that could happen the lane
:06:05. > :06:10.was scrapped. They have already got a judicial review on London's bus
:06:10. > :06:15.lanes later in the year. They want action sooner. Not surprisingly
:06:15. > :06:20.this plan has gone down badly with cyclists and black cabbies. If they
:06:20. > :06:24.go in the bus lanes the bus lanes will grind to a halt. The major
:06:24. > :06:29.point ways it is against the law. All at once is someone to enforce
:06:29. > :06:33.the law. On the Euston Road this morning we did not see any of
:06:33. > :06:38.Addison Lee's drivers using bus lanes. Although the company has
:06:38. > :06:43.disputed it, TfL has warned drivers that if they going bus lanes they
:06:43. > :06:48.could face criminal charges and have their licences revoked. It is
:06:48. > :06:54.important that the black cabs are in the kerbside lane so if they are
:06:54. > :06:57.hailed they can stop. Private hire cars are booked in advance. He
:06:57. > :07:03.60,000 more vehicles going our bus lanes it will be bad news for bus
:07:03. > :07:07.passengers and all the passengers in 24,000 taxes. Transport for
:07:07. > :07:11.London say they are also considering legal options and could
:07:11. > :07:16.revoke an assembly's operator's licence. The case will almost
:07:16. > :07:21.certainly end up in court. The police watchdog has announced
:07:21. > :07:26.tough action to tackle alleged racism in Britain's biggest force.
:07:26. > :07:31.The IPCC says it will ask the Met to refer all allegations of racist
:07:31. > :07:35.behaviour to its independent investigators. Last year there were
:07:35. > :07:39.more than 250 complaints. It follows controversy over multiple
:07:39. > :07:44.complaints of racism. Tube workers who maintain and
:07:44. > :07:49.upgrade the lines have voted to strike. The RMT workers work on the
:07:49. > :07:55.Piccadilly, Northern and Jubilee lines but are - that are contracted
:07:55. > :07:59.to Tube Lines. They want to join Transport for London's pension
:07:59. > :08:04.scheme and get the same concessions. The latest poll has suggested that
:08:04. > :08:09.the race for City Hall is still a close one. It puts Boris Johnson
:08:10. > :08:15.six points ahead of Ken Livingstone, two points down from a poll two
:08:15. > :08:21.months ago. David Cameron joined the Conservative candidate on the
:08:21. > :08:26.campaign trail. Ken Livingstone promised to extend credit's tram.
:08:26. > :08:35.A shout, a wave and a reassuring pat on the back. Followed by a few
:08:35. > :08:39.more waves and then some handshakes. There must be an election on. They
:08:39. > :08:45.do not always see eye-to-eye but it is in both these men's interests
:08:45. > :08:48.for Boris Johnson to do well on May 3rd. This morning they met
:08:48. > :08:53.entrepreneurs at the Hotel in London. A pulse just the current
:08:53. > :08:57.mayor is more popular than his party is. His latest bid to win
:08:57. > :09:00.City Hall is still a close call. Was it nice to have the Prime
:09:00. > :09:05.Minister in tow was here hundreds? We have been able to make some
:09:05. > :09:10.points to the Prime Minister about what London needs. The key thing I
:09:10. > :09:14.would say is this city generates huge quantities in tax baguette
:09:14. > :09:19.spent in the rest of the country. The Art Now we are making is that
:09:19. > :09:23.London needs a bigger share of the resources it generates -- the
:09:23. > :09:28.argument now. Can you tell us Prime Minister how important London is
:09:28. > :09:32.for you? It is very important and Boris is doing a great job. Boris
:09:32. > :09:38.has put the police back on the streets in London. Boris brings
:09:38. > :09:40.people together. He is investing huge amounts of Transport and he is
:09:40. > :09:46.firing up the city. He is the candidate who brings people
:09:46. > :09:50.together, the others, particularly Livingstone, divides people. As for
:09:50. > :09:54.the aforementioned Mr Livingstone, he was out in Croydon this morning,
:09:54. > :10:00.promising to extend the tram link to Crystal Palace. Transport is a
:10:00. > :10:04.key plank of his election campaign. South London has been the poor
:10:04. > :10:09.relation in terms of the rail service. I was negotiating with the
:10:09. > :10:12.last Labour government. It was agreed that there would take over
:10:12. > :10:17.the franchises for the suburban rail network. We should have seen
:10:17. > :10:21.real upgrades and improvements. None of that has happened. Both
:10:21. > :10:25.candidates have made the most of what they can get from central
:10:25. > :10:30.government. Now they have to deliver on those promises.
:10:30. > :10:34.Meanwhile, someone else hoping to be elected mayor next month is the
:10:34. > :10:39.candidate for the British National Party, Carlos Cortiglia. We will
:10:39. > :10:43.speak to him in a moment. First, a round-up of his policies for London.
:10:43. > :10:48.On transport he would abolish the congestion charge and residential
:10:48. > :10:52.parking permits, claiming it is unfair for Londoners to be taxed
:10:52. > :10:56.around their city. He would also provide free train and Tube travel
:10:57. > :11:01.at weekends. He wants to introduce five-year minimum prison sentences
:11:01. > :11:05.for knife crime. When it comes to immigration he says there is no
:11:05. > :11:08.amnesty for illegal immigrants and the capital. And on planning, he
:11:08. > :11:13.would increase the powers of City Hall, taking them away from
:11:13. > :11:17.individual boroughs. We saw him earlier, Carlos
:11:17. > :11:23.Cortiglia the BNP candidate is here. Good evening. Free travel for all
:11:23. > :11:28.at weekends, that is a big gesture. It is an aspiration. We see what is
:11:29. > :11:33.happening in London. There is a huge commitment for many years to
:11:33. > :11:38.come. But we put there as an aspiration. What we think is fair
:11:38. > :11:42.in terms of families, in terms of giving them access to London.
:11:42. > :11:49.that combined with the Revenue you reduce -- news from their
:11:49. > :11:55.congestion charge, when you have a cash black hole? We know the
:11:55. > :12:00.transport needs investment. We know the budget is tight. We put on the
:12:00. > :12:05.manifesto as an aspiration. So it is an aspiration but you do not
:12:05. > :12:08.expect to deliver on it? We expect to deliver if it is possible to
:12:09. > :12:12.deliver. What I criticise from the other mayoral candidates is all
:12:12. > :12:17.these promises and all these numbers. People do not know where
:12:17. > :12:25.it would come from. How much would it cost? I would say the cost of
:12:25. > :12:30.the present budget as we see it is especially we were told him that
:12:30. > :12:34.the budget for policing, we know the numbers for policing are going
:12:34. > :12:39.down year on year. How much would your free travel at weekends cost
:12:39. > :12:46.you? I would say I do not give appreciations are in terms of
:12:46. > :12:50.numbers. So you have not worked it out yet? The point is I do not
:12:50. > :12:54.think any of the candidates including Boris Johnson have worked
:12:54. > :12:58.it out yet. They do not have a magic ball to determine what will
:12:58. > :13:02.be the weight of inflation or the weight of council tax in their
:13:02. > :13:07.budgets. We know when they cut housing subsidies and where they
:13:07. > :13:12.cap subsidies for council tax payers, them - that the amount of
:13:12. > :13:18.money will be less. You say you want a minimum five year prison
:13:18. > :13:23.sentence for knife crime, that is not in the Mayor's powers, is it?
:13:23. > :13:31.The policies are things we will be paying for. When we talk about not
:13:31. > :13:36.just crime. One item in the news was about police and cases of
:13:36. > :13:40.racism... Let's just stick with a knife crime. The minimum sentence
:13:40. > :13:44.that you are campaigning for can only be introduced by an Act of
:13:44. > :13:49.Parliament and you do not have any MPs to support it so it is not
:13:49. > :13:53.within the Mayor's power, is it? is not but the Mayor has a
:13:53. > :13:59.political influence to set the political agenda. I was in Moscow
:13:59. > :14:03.when I saw the riots in London. He was a shambles. It was an absolute
:14:03. > :14:06.shambles. The police force was present in some cases and they were
:14:06. > :14:11.doing nothing because they did not have the orders. In other cases
:14:11. > :14:16.they were absent. I say to, policing which is one subject which
:14:16. > :14:21.is dear to my heart, they talk a water cannons and they talk that
:14:21. > :14:28.more representative measures and pepper spray, if the programmes are
:14:28. > :14:33.social we can... At the last election, Your leader stood
:14:33. > :14:36.embarking way had 12 councillors and he came third. The BNP was
:14:36. > :14:41.wiped off the council. Does that suggest the BNP is a spent force in
:14:41. > :14:46.London? What happened to the Conservative Party in 1997, they
:14:46. > :14:50.were a spent force when they lost in Scotland and Wales and now look,
:14:50. > :14:53.they are in power. So, the political life of the country will
:14:53. > :15:03.change and the Labour Party when some and the Conservative Party
:15:03. > :15:10.
:15:10. > :15:13.when some but sooner or later On our website, you can find more
:15:13. > :15:17.information on the election campaign.
:15:17. > :15:21.With just over 100 days to go until the Olympics, organisers are making
:15:21. > :15:24.final preparations while athletes test that the venues. There are
:15:24. > :15:27.several protest groups joining forces to make their voices heard
:15:28. > :15:31.over the choice of sponsors. Olympics correspondent Adrian
:15:31. > :15:36.Warner looks at whether their campaign could overshadow the
:15:36. > :15:40.sporting action. Ladies with a professional smile
:15:40. > :15:44.are having the last laugh. Synchronised swimmers from around
:15:44. > :15:48.the world today testing out the pool at the Aquatics Centre. Two
:15:48. > :15:51.years ago, people joked that they would have to give away tickets to
:15:51. > :15:56.this sport to fill the stands. How wrong they were, all the tickets
:15:56. > :16:00.are sold out months before the Games. The sell-out of tickets has
:16:00. > :16:06.been amazing. My mother struggled to get tickets. It is crazy, really
:16:06. > :16:10.good for the sport. This thought is the barometer of the success of the
:16:10. > :16:14.ticket sale. 2012 cannot start celebrating yet, however, because
:16:14. > :16:19.there are plenty of problems on the horizon. Like the increasing
:16:19. > :16:23.criticism of the commercial backers of the game's. Today human rights
:16:23. > :16:26.and environmental groups joined forces to launch a campaign against
:16:26. > :16:31.three sponsors. These are the animated films they have put on the
:16:31. > :16:39.internet to attack the record of Dow Chemical, BP and Rio Tinto,
:16:39. > :16:44.which mines the metal for the medals. Until the London Organising
:16:44. > :16:47.Committee take some notice and meet with the protesters and look at the
:16:47. > :16:51.symbolic ways they can demonstrate that they are listening, I do not
:16:51. > :16:55.think it will stop. All three companies have defended their
:16:55. > :17:01.ethical record, but child obesity experts have now also criticised
:17:01. > :17:07.the choice of McDonald's and Coca- Cola as international sponsors.
:17:07. > :17:12.think it is terribly sad that an event that is there to celebrate
:17:12. > :17:17.athleticism and health and fitness should have become so dependent on
:17:17. > :17:22.huge global sponsors that are partly responsible for the
:17:22. > :17:25.overweight people we see today in Western countries. Both coat and
:17:25. > :17:29.McDonnell's say they have an important role to play and making
:17:29. > :17:34.the games happen, but the danger of 2012 is that these protests could

:18:01. > :18:06.whether to hold a referendum on setting up a parish council in
:18:06. > :18:09.Queens Park, the first in London for nearly half a century. Sonja

:18:13. > :18:18.flowers are being left at the spot where a boy was stabbed four years
:18:18. > :18:22.ago. The Queen's Park Ward is among the most deprived in Westminster,
:18:22. > :18:26.but a local group is having a parish council would give them the
:18:26. > :18:30.power to make a difference. What captures people's interest is local
:18:30. > :18:35.residents actually doing for themselves. You cannot sit back and
:18:35. > :18:40.expect the powers-that-be to do it for us. We have to take a lead on
:18:40. > :18:43.keeping our community up. Ideas include turning disused buildings
:18:43. > :18:45.into community centres, holding events to bring different parts of
:18:46. > :18:50.the neighbourhoods together, but the group will have to convince
:18:50. > :18:56.local people that a parish council is worth paying for. Residents
:18:56. > :19:03.would have to pay up to �44 per yet starve their council tax, although
:19:04. > :19:07.those on lower incomes may be exempt. Still a hard silent times -

:19:18. > :19:24.anyway. We are from the Campaign Group. They have already gathered
:19:24. > :19:28.1,600 signatures of support. I do not reach for my wallet with a big
:19:28. > :19:33.grin on my face, thinking, extra money! It is not something I would
:19:33. > :19:36.be happy to do, but I am prepared to do it. It would be people living
:19:36. > :19:41.within the area, rather than people coming in and telling you what to
:19:41. > :19:44.do. Tonight Westminster Council will decide whether to formally ask
:19:44. > :19:48.residents what they think in a referendum. If the people here were
:19:48. > :19:54.to say yes to a parish council, it is thought that those living in

:20:49. > :20:53.will talk to him in a moment, but Sir Tim Rice joins me now, good
:20:53. > :20:57.evening. You have been in the business decade and had an impact

:21:26. > :21:30.people will say, you should be sitting back and retiring...
:21:30. > :21:35.would say that, forget other people! Why it keeps you so
:21:35. > :21:39.enthused about theatre? Sometimes it is difficult to get enthused
:21:39. > :21:44.when you have been around a long time. I think working on my new
:21:44. > :21:50.show with younger, newer people, who are very talented, has been a
:21:50. > :21:54.great help. I am working with the young composer, Stuart Grayson, and
:21:54. > :21:58.a younger director, tomorrow Davey, and they give me the kick up the
:21:58. > :22:03.backside that I need at times. were talking earlier about whether
:22:03. > :22:08.the lyrics of the music comes first. From your experience, what does
:22:08. > :22:15.come first? Or is it a true collaboration? It is a true
:22:15. > :22:19.collaboration, did I say that right?! It is a true collaboration!
:22:19. > :22:25.Basically, with a musical, you have to get the story right, that has to
:22:25. > :22:30.come first. Most composers write tunes without lyrics, and then I
:22:30. > :22:37.put the lyrics on, but Elton John, with whom I did songs for the Lion
:22:37. > :22:42.King, the likes words first. Every single hit he has written with
:22:42. > :22:47.Bernie Taupin, Burney wrote his bit first. It is sometimes lyrics first,
:22:47. > :22:51.but in every case with the musical, it has got to the story first. The
:22:51. > :22:57.story is the thing that drives any show. When you pick up your ward
:22:57. > :23:01.last night, the musical Matilda won a record seven Oliviers. With no
:23:01. > :23:06.celebrity names in the past, is there an over-reliance at the
:23:06. > :23:11.moment on celebrities? No, I don't think so. The Lion King did not
:23:11. > :23:16.have a big name in it. Elaine Page was not well known when we did
:23:16. > :23:20.Evita. Superstar never had big names. If big names are right for
:23:20. > :23:24.the part, great, but you want the actor, the singer who is right for
:23:24. > :23:29.the part, that is more important than a star name, unless you have a
:23:29. > :23:33.really terrible show! Thank you for joining us, congratulations once
:23:33. > :23:40.again. Time for a check on the weather
:23:40. > :23:44.with Wendy Hurrell, Trafalgar If you are desperately trying to
:23:44. > :23:48.keep things alive in the garden or allotment, you can have a few days
:23:48. > :23:53.off from letting the watering can around, because it is going to be
:23:53. > :23:57.wet and fairly windy as well. If we look at the satellite picture, you
:23:57. > :24:01.can see the first bits of plant ageing in from the West. That will
:24:01. > :24:05.bring rain through the night tonight, and it is associated with
:24:05. > :24:10.a tangle of weather front overnight tonight and in due tomorrow
:24:10. > :24:14.introducing the first batch of rain this week. Then the low pressure
:24:14. > :24:18.system sits around the Midlands. It will be quite blustery outside, but
:24:18. > :24:22.in the middle of very little wind. There could be a lot of rain in one
:24:22. > :24:26.particular place. It is funny to say at the moment, because this
:24:26. > :24:31.evening it is beautiful at the moment. As we go through the night,
:24:31. > :24:34.it will cloud over, and the first bits and pieces of rain will come
:24:35. > :24:40.after midnight into the early hours. All of that means it will not be as
:24:40. > :24:44.chilly as previous nights, four Celsius tonight. It does mean a wet
:24:44. > :24:48.and windy rush-hour tomorrow, and your brolly will be doing its best
:24:48. > :24:52.to blow inside out. The rain moves through in the second part of the
:24:52. > :24:58.morning, and then we will have showers following after that. They
:24:58. > :25:03.were 10 quite blustery. Before that, temperatures up to 14 degrees.
:25:03. > :25:07.Thundery showers, and inland they will be quite slow-moving. The
:25:07. > :25:15.outlook is for sunshine to return on Thursday and Friday, but keep
:25:15. > :25:18.The latest now on the emergency landing and evacuation of a Virgin
:25:18. > :25:23.plane at Gatwick today after a technical problem was discovered
:25:23. > :25:29.which led to delays and cancellations. Simon Clemison is
:25:29. > :25:34.there now. What is this situation? Well, the situation, as you can
:25:34. > :25:38.possibly hear, is that planes are taking up again. That is the Virgin
:25:38. > :25:43.Atlantic plane which made the emergency landing. Take a good look,
:25:43. > :25:47.that is the good news for London, it is off the runway, and that
:25:47. > :25:52.means that planes are taking off and landing again. There is a
:25:52. > :25:57.little bit of disruption, 26 DI versions, nine cancellations, but
:25:57. > :26:01.if you consider that there are about 700 flights coming in and out
:26:01. > :26:06.every day, that is not too bad. -- DI versions. That disruption is not
:26:06. > :26:11.expected to get any worse tomorrow. The chief executive of Virgin has
:26:11. > :26:14.told us that not long after the plane took off, there were alarms
:26:14. > :26:19.sounding, so it had to be brought back into land. The passengers were
:26:19. > :26:23.taken down escapes lights. We understand it was pretty calm and
:26:23. > :26:27.orderly. As you can imagine, there was some tension, and that is how
:26:27. > :26:31.people ended up with injuries. The big question now is what was the
:26:31. > :26:36.technical fault, and that is what investigators will be trying to
:26:36. > :26:41.find out. Simon Clemison at Gatwick, thank you for the update. A
:26:41. > :26:47.reminder of the main news: The man accused of killing his 77 people in
:26:47. > :26:51.Norway last July has pleaded not guilty at the opening of his trial.
:26:51. > :26:54.Anders Breivik admitted carrying out the attacks but denied criminal
:26:54. > :26:59.responsibility, saying he was acting in self-defence. That is it
