Kind tight on BBC London News, caused improve cycling safety, the | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
mayoral hopefuls get a rough ride at the last of the hustings. I did | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
not feel that we had exciting announcements, but I saw that it | :00:22. | :00:29. | |
really heated up and cycling can swing it at this election. I am | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
live with the latest on the campaign, including Boris Johnson | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
asked about talks he had with News International as the police were | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
probing allegations of phone- hacking. | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
We will be joined live by Labour candidate Ken Livingstone. Also | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
tonight, on land, water and from the air, the Met and the military | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
prepared to test their response to an attack on the Olympics. We have | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
got to make sure that we have got a plan in place that can deal with | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
the unlikely that very serious threat that might exist to the | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
Olympic Park. And the Blue Door where Hugh Grant lived in the film | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
Notting Hill, we take a look at the London locations made famous by | :01:09. | :01:11. | |

Good evening and welcome to the programme. After weeks of | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
campaigning, the end is now in sight. In just three days' time, | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
Londoners will go to the polls to decide who will take at the top job | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
at City Hall, and today five candidates took part in the last of | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
the hustings to debate cycling safety. It is an issue which | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
promote Green candidate Jenny Jones to say that Transport for London | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
should face charges of corporate manslaughter following the death of | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
a cyclist in east London last year. TfL say they are working with the | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
police to find out what happened. Transport correspondent Tom Edwards | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
has more. He was the Cycling Tory mayor, but | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
if you thought he was going to get an easy ride today, he was wrong. | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
What is the mayor going to do to stand up for cyclists, to make sure | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
that people who kill cyclists get the punishment they deserve?! | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
Boris Johnson has overseen an increase in cycling, but they are | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
now demanding safer streets and for dangerous junctions to be | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
redesigned. We want to move away from the idea that cyclists are | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
somehow morally superior. There are plenty of people who need to use a | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
car. We need to educate them about cycling in London. If a cyclist | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
cycles irresponsibly, he or she does not kill people. If somebody | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
drives a lorry or car irresponsibly, they kill people. We will look at | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
the junctions, we will put in completely physically separated | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
routes where possible, and where it is not possible, I will use | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
creative ideas to make cycling more safe. This is Pearl Roundabout. The | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
mayor's cycling superhighway encourages riders through this busy | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
junction. Two cyclists have died here. It has also emerged that TfL | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
ignored a safety report that said the roundabout needed pedestrian | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
crossings to slow traffic. The Labour and Green candidates want to | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
know if the mayor's office overruled engineers, something that | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
City Hall strenuously denies. agree with the action that Jenny | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
has taken today in writing to the Metropolitan Police to ask them to | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
investigate the mayor's office for corporate manslaughter. The Tory | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
candidate does not accept that this policy has actually made any | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
difference to cycling safety, whereas most people in this room | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
would say it has made a difference, it has made it worse. Jokes about | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
cycling did not go down too well. do not have wickets in brown legs | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
or dreadlocks, I do not charge around in Lycra, I do not jump | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
lights. I am frozen like a pillar, frozen like a pillar at lights. | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
Debbie's husband Brian died after being hit by an HGV at the | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
roundabout. We have been promised a lot of things, we have met | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
ministers, we have met the mayor, and not a lot has happened. All of | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
the candidates have now signed up to redesign dangerous junctions. | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
But there are questions about funding and some scepticism. | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
sense was that nobody was really committing money. Everyone was | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
talking about money, but they were talking around it. It really heated | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
up at the end and cycling could swing it at this election. The | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
decider is not finalised yet. Cyclists believe they can get | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
improvements from this election. Meanwhile, TfL says it is working | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
with the Met in its investigation on the roundabout. | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
The latest poll puts Boris Johnson narrowly ahead of his closest rival, | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
Ken Livingstone, and we will hear from the Labour candidate shortly. | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
First, Tim Donovan, what is the poll indicating? Well, this is the | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
latest poll by YouGov, who have been tracking the mayoral race for | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
months, and this is what it shows. It suggests that when first | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
preferences are cast, Boris Johnson is three points ahead, 44-41. When | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
second preferences are included, it suggests that goes to 52-48. When | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
you very down into the raw data of this survey, it is very interesting, | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
because it shows they are not many votes in it. Some people are saying | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
it is neck-and-neck. They adjust the figures to have definitely | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
supporters are going to back their candidate, and they find that seven | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
out of 10 of Boris Johnson supporters will definitely vote for | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
him. It is a little under six out of 10 of Labour supporters who will | :05:51. | :05:58. | |
vote for Ken Livingstone. It is on this narrow margin that the outcome | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
of this vote could turn, and it is all about mobilising core support. | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
What is this about an outburst on the campaign trail today? Well, | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
Boris Johnson was asked today about a story I was reporting on | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
yesterday, about his efforts to secured sponsorship for News | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
International when the Metropolitan Police were probing allegations of | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
phone-hacking. This is what he said false well, you know, I do not know | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
about discussions going on about that. What I can tell you is that I | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
think it is right to work with the private sector, to get | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
contributions that will be for the benefit of London. I am very proud | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
that over the last four years we have got more than �100 million in | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
sponsorship but I have raised for this city, 50 million for the bikes, | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
you have got to get this on their come on, this is the most important | :06:51. | :07:01. | |
:07:01. | :07:01. | ||
thing! Staff Donovan, BLEEP! interesting response from a | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
politician. Yes, I think people will find this unusual on a | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
campaign trail. It is not the first time he has used colourful language, | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
of course. There was this row in a lift with Ken Livingstone a few | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
weeks ago, but I think it does show how sensitively he regards this | :07:20. | :07:27. | |
issue. Thank you, Tim Donovan. Well, in this final week of campaigning, | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
we will be hearing from the candidates. Tomorrow we will be | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
joined live By Boris Johnson, tonight it is the turn of Ken | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
Livingstone. Here we are, that poll suggesting you are behind your Tory | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
rival. Given that the Labour Party nationally is pulling way ahead of | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
the Conservatives in London, isn't there something wrong with that | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
equation? Could it be you? simple fact is that everybody | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
thinks Boris Johnson is very funny and he has got great charisma and | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
all that. The issue is to what extent we can focus on issues, | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
because it is not about he tells the best jokes. It is about cutting | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
fares and restoring police jobs. During the day job is more | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
important than when you can be funny on a television sofa. | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
polls suggest you are lagging behind your party. The last three | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
times you have outperformed your party. Is there a danger that you | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
personally could prevent a Labour mayoral to win? Literally, when | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
Boris five years ago said he was going to stand, everyone said, | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
ignore him he is an idiot. Look, this is the most formidable | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
opponent we face. He has got this amazing ability to get away with | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
murder. No other politician would get away with these things. We have | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
discovered Rebekah Brooks and he were talking about his funding | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
package for this corporation whilst they were being investigated by the | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
police. Any other politician would be forced to resign. Boris laughs | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
at all off and gets away with it. You have had your own problems, but | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
let's talk about campaigning. You have campaigned hard on the issues | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
of, as you have said, but doesn't it seem to boil down to the fact | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
that people like and trust Boris Moore, as they like and trust you | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
less. The simple and depressing fact for both of us is that neither | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
-- most people do not like or trust either of us. On the key issues, | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
asked which policy they really like, they like the idea of cutting fares, | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
because this is the worst time for eight years. My job is to put money | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
back in people's pockets. They will spend it in local shops and help | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
the local economy. Your flagship policy of cutting fares by 7%, it | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
is popular with Londoners. But yet you are not leading the race, and | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
the same poll says that 41% of people do not think it will happen. | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
It goes back to trust. If the BBC can resolve this, you can go back | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
to your archives, get the film of me cutting by 30%. This is the | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
smallest fares cut I have ever done. In the last term, fares increased | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
by 23%. Over Boris's turn, they have increased by 28%. Once you | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
allow for inflation... Overall fares. This is my report. TfL's own | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
figures show that they were cap in real terms when I was mayor. | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
Figures aside... It is not because aside... We could argue about | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
figures... The fares did remain the same on the bus, but overall fares | :10:29. | :10:37. | |
and a call last turn increased 23%. Under Boris, 28%. It was 1% above | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
inflation. Is this part of the reason that 41% of people are not | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
sure that you will actually implement your pledge? Is it | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
because, in the past, you have increased them? Is it because they | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
just do not believe what you say? We have had such a debilitating | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
time for politics. There was the MPs' expenses scandal, all the | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
promises made at the general election have been gone back on. | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
Politics generally is a distrusted profession. But there are people in | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
London who remember, you have enough to remember that I cut fares | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
by 30%. We actually got more money in the cheaper fares than when they | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
were higher. We have made no allowance for Ryder ship. We may be | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
able to extend the fares freeze another year if many people come | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
back at cheaper fares. We are at a time of national budget cuts with a | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
Conservative-led government. What makes you think that you are better | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
placed all would be better placed as a Labour mayor, rather than a | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
Tory mayor, to get a better deal from the government? I got more | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
money from Gordon Brown, who disliked the more than George | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
Osborne does. Lighting people does not come into this. It is a | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
question of whether you can put up a package, showing the Treasury | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
will get back more in the long term. But you have to accept that Boris | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
Johnson got �90 million from the government to increase police | :11:58. | :12:05. | |
numbers. Once the cap closed, the government sent in more money. If | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
you look at my campaign, we have not said we would get more money | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
out of government. We found the money to restore the Education | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
Maintenance Allowance. We are paying for the first cut by using | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
the surplus. We are going to build hundreds of thousands of homes have | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
the next 10 years by accessing pension funds. I'm not expecting | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
the government to give me money. How are you going to pay for an | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
increase in police numbers? The two main ways to raise revenue is | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
through increasing fares, which you say you will cuts or freeze, | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
council tax, which you say you will freeze, so when you have to go cap- | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
in-hand to the government? No. To get the police numbers after the | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
level they were, you need another 60 million. We have looked through | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
the police budget and found that reducing overtime, if you have got | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
more police, you don't need to spend so much on overtime, ending | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
first class travel for police officers, getting rid of chauffeur- | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
driven cars... You think that is enough to increase numbers? | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
employed and economists to spend six months going over the budget. | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
We will not get money out of government. We have got to find | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
ways of using the existing mayoral budget more efficiently, cutting | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
out the waste, bringing back police numbers and cutting fares. I have | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
never believed, just by electing me, George Osborne will roll over if I | :13:25. | :13:35. | |

Coming up later in the programme: The commuter rail routes suffering | :13:42. | :13:52. | |
:13:52. | :13:53. | ||
a big rise in delays because of To some of the rest of the day's | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
news now, as detailed security plans for the Olympic games have | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
been unveiled. The Ministry of Defence said that surface-to-air | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
missiles could be deployed at six sites across London. On Wednesday, | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
a major exercise begins testing a range of security measures. | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
Olympics correspondent Adrian Warner has this report. | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
Preparing for the worst case Olympic scenario, this is the | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
military and police dealing with a simulated terrorist attack during | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
the training exercise earlier this year, and this week London will see | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
more intensive security testing. They are calling at Olympic | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
guardian, Britain tried to show the world that it is ready to protect | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
the games, and also hoping to deter terrorists. We have got to make | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
sure that we have got a plan in place that can deal with the | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
unlikely but very serious threat that might exist to the Olympic | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
Park. The 9/11 threat that everybody knows about and also for | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
the lower, slower type of target which may pop up closer to the | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
Olympic Park which we would need to intervene with. But his wife on | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
Wednesday there will be fighter jet training in the skies over London. | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
-- that is why from Wednesday. This block of flats is one of six | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
potential sites which could serve this -- host surface-to-air | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
missiles. For Londoners, military seems much closer to home than | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
usual. HMS Ocean will birth at Greenwich. The skies above the | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
Olympic Park will be a no-fly zone this summer, and the last resort is | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
forced night as in helicopters to shoot pilots on rogue planes. That | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
will also be tested. These military exercises are all aimed at | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
scenarios that organisers hope will not happen, but they will also be | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
testing things this week that definitely will, like tens of | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
thousands of people coming through this shopping centre on the way to | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
the Olympic Park. This Saturday, there will be five different | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
sporting events at the Olympic venues, 80,000 spectators will be | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
at the Olympic Park, and that is in addition to the FA Cup final at | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
Wembley. A very busy day for the capital. This weekend is a | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
significant events for us in terms of the number of tests taking place, | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
not just about routine policing across London and the big events, | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
but also the LOCOG venue security operations with large numbers of | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
people enjoying events in the park. London wants the world to remember | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
the Olympics for the sporting moments. The military and police | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
will take centre stage for now, but their hope is to blend into the | :16:22. | :16:31. | |
Four men arrested in Luton last week have been charged with terror | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
offences. The men were detained following raids at a number of | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
addresses in the town. Guy Smith's been following the case. | :16:39. | :16:46. | |
Guy, who are the men? All of the men are British citizens. Three of | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
Pakistani origin. One from a Bangladeshi background. All of the | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
men are from Luton. They had beards. Two had prayer caps. They were | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
wearing tunics or track suits. We can see them arriving earlier ate | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
Westminster Magistrates' Court. They stood in the dock for less | :17:05. | :17:12. | |
than 20 minutes to give their names and ables. The youngest is Syed | :17:12. | :17:19. | |
Hussain. Umar Arshad, 23, Mohammed Sharfaraz Ahmed, 24. And the eldest, | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
Zahid Iqbal, who's 30. What are they charged with? It is alleged | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
for more than a year, they were plotting to carry out terrorist | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
attacks abroad to travel abroad. But also to carry out allegedly | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
terrorist attacks, including one on the Luton Territorial Army centre. | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
It is alleged they were organising physical training, buying survival | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
equipment, discussing targets, firearms and explosives and | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
allegedly fund-raising for terrorist attacks overseas. It is | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
also alleged they all downloaded documents and files from a Jihadist | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
website linked to Al-Qaeda in the Arabian peninsula. They will next | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
appear at the Old Bailey on May 11th. | :18:07. | :18:13. | |

major commuter routes into the capital. New figures show a 33% | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
increase, equivalent to one theft every three days. A change to the | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
law is being called for. It frustrates commuters, the rail | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
industry and police. A new Network Rail figures show the worsening | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
impact of cable theft. In 2010-2011 there were 93 cable thefts along | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
the main London commuter routes. In the last financial year, that's | :18:45. | :18:52. | |
risen to 124. An inceesz of 33%. -- increase. That has a huge impact | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
on delays, rising from 851 hours to over 1,000 hours in the last year. | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
Passengers tell us through our research and complaints the impact | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
on their day-to-day lives when these things happen is stressful. | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
This costs Network Rail in the region off of �16 million across | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
great Britain. That costs finds its way back to the passengers' pockets. | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
Last year, we reveeld how easy it is a sell suspect metal to scrap | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
dealers. They were happy to handle metal, no questions asked. | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
The theft is being fuelled by the world's sky high price of scrap | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
metal. Network Rail wants courts to be given greater pow tors tackle | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
the problem. The Transport Select Committee agrees. Cash dealing | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
should be reassessed. People dealing in cables should have to | :19:47. | :19:54. | |
declare who they are. More powers force the -- for the police to act | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
and pow tors close dealers down where necessary. And just a small | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
increase in thefts can have a big impact on the rail network. Take | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
the figures for Woking, Bedford and Euston. Thefts have doubled from | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
five to ten in the past year. The impact on delays is huge. From 3.5 | :20:14. | :20:21. | |
hours up to 331 hours of delays last year. We just need one crime, | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
as we describe in policing, to have a significant ripple effect. What | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
we've seen recently is significant sentences imposed by the koirts. | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
The Government says it will spro deuce licences and change the law | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
at the earliest opportunity to prevent more scenes like. This | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
until then, the crime will continue to cause delays and cost the | :20:43. | :20:52. | |
capital millions. Nots hill, Bridget Jones' Diary and Atonement | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
all filmed in location here in the capital by university pictures. As | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
the studio celebrates its Centenary our correspondent has taken a tour | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
of the London landmarks which have featured in some of its most famous | :21:06. | :21:13. | |
films. Phone home. Houston, we have a problem. It is | :21:13. | :21:19. | |
the Hollywood studio which had a created some of our most memorable | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
films. London played its part. As it celebrates its 100th anniversary, | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
we rediscover the capital's locations used by the studio with | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
tour guide Val sturpblg he is. London's been the setting for some | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
of the Universal pictures most iconic films. Notting Hill with | :21:39. | :21:46. | |
Hugh Grant and Giulia Roberts is one of the studio's huge successes. | :21:46. | :21:53. | |
Sue found that famous blue door and other locations for Richard | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
Curtis's films. How easy is it to persuade people to give up their | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
homes for till filming? Some people are amenable. Others don't want to | :22:02. | :22:12. | |
know. This house was used for, guess what?... Oh, hi. A tender | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
moment between Keira Knightly and Andrew Lincoln in love actually. | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
Location managers are always on the lookout for the amazing and Euan | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
usual. Is there anything particular international companies look for | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
stp They love the iconic look acings, the variation London can | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
give you. They love the fact they don't have to travel too far for | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
lolgts of different types of locations. Stiplt Bartholomew's | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
church is the oldest in the city and the chosen venue for many films, | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
including Shakespeare In Love. Is it exciting or a pain when you have | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
the films in? It is like relatives coming to visit. You're glad to see | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
them come but also go. To be able to chat with people in the industry | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
is great. So here's to another 100 years of film making in the capital. | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
years of film making in the capital. Time for the weather. | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
Wendy's down by the river near Tower Bridge. How lovely to see the | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
sun out today. Its days like this which remind us | :23:22. | :23:28. | |
it is still spring. We had 19 degrees in the west of London. I'm | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
afraid it is back to normal overnight. The Met Office has a | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
weather warning in place for some heavy rain and possibly localised | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
flooding thanks to what we've had already. That will come with | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
blustery winds overnight tonight. It is probably worth making the | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
most of the sunshine we have here at the moment. I can see shower | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
clouds through the tames estuary behind me. They will start working | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
their way in. The heaviest of the rain around midnight and into the | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
early hours of the morning with a strengthening north-easterly wind. | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
That will create some difficult driving conditions for tomorrow | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
morning's rush hour. During the night, temperatures of 11 or 12 | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
Celsius. Tomorrow, we start with that rain. It is slowly moving | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
northwards. It will be a bit windy as well. Certainly some surface | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
water spray to watch out for if you're driving in or standing at a | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
bus stop. By lunch time, that rain will have moved north. An | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
improvement in the day. Sunshine breaking through by late afternoon | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
and lighter winds. Perhaps one or two showers. A temperatures of 16 | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
Celsius. Not too badly in the sunshine. Wednesday and Thursday | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
both cloudy days. More chance of seeing sunshine on Wednesday. A bit | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
of rain around possibly. Some heavy for election day on Thursday. The | :24:44. | :24:52. | |
outlook, yet more rain in the forecast. Early signs of the bank | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
holiday are you'll not be impressed with that either. | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
The Immigration Minister Damian Green says new shift patterns are | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
being introduced for border control staff. Some passengers faced delays | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
of up to three hours at the end of last week. | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
There are over 170 flood alerts in force after strong winds and heavy | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
rain in England and Wales. One man died in Derek Berkshire after his | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
car was sub mother-in-law in the a river crossing. | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
David Cameron has been forced -- speaking the Commons, Mr Cameron | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
insisted he'd seen no evidence that Mr Hunt had breached the | :25:35. | :25:42. | |
ministerial code over his handling with BSkyB. Officials are | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
considering when to deploy surface- to-air missiles at six sites across | :25:46. | :25:50. |
