suitable chairman of the Co-op. That is all from the BBC News at six. On | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Tonight on BBC London News. The Mayor defends his record on cycle | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
safety after critics label his policies as flawed and dangerous. | :00:10. | :00:19. | |
The spate of fatalities we have seen over the last couple of weeks must | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
be seen in the context of an overall decline in fatalities. We're out | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
with police in East London as they begin a campaign to improve road | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
safety. Also tonight: In a landmark case, a court in Moscow rules two | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
boys abducted a year ago are to be returned to their mother in London | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
Plus an eyewitness account of the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan from a | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
London charity worker recently returned from the Philippines. I am | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
going to get my children back. And I am so happy! And eyewitness account | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
of the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan from a London charity worker | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
recently returned from the Philippines. And counting down to | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
the West End's most stressful day. The Old Vic prepares to raise the | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
curtain on its 24`hour play. Good evening and welcome to the | :01:06. | :01:23. | |
programme. The Mayor has been accused of pursuing flawed and | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
dangerous policies and being slow to respond to the risks faced by | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
cyclists using the capital's roads. The criticism comes after the recent | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
number of cyclist deaths in London ` six in the last fortnight. At | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
Mayor's Question Time today, Boris Johnson defended his record, | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
accusing his opponents of scaremongering. In a moment, we'll | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
speak to our transport correspondent, Tom Edwards, who is | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
out with police in East London. But first, let's cross to City Hall and | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
join our political editor, Tim Donovan. Six deaths in a fortnight | :01:53. | :02:01. | |
and a fierce debate continues. Boris Johnson insisting the longer term | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
pattering of fatalities shows things have gotten safer. Opponents claim | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
he is ignoring the most damaging evidence. I would like you to | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
apologise to the families of people who have been killed and to the | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
people who have been seriously injured on the roads because of your | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
flawed and quite dangerous policies. I think it is restructuring you sat | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
in this Assembly for... Could you answer the question? When cycle | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
fatalities were running at a higher rate and I do not believe you | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
protested. What is the evidence? The Mayor argues that in the five years | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
from 2003 there were 82 deaths. Which dropped to 68 in the first | :02:44. | :02:51. | |
five years of his mayoralty. Officials have described annual | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
variations in the number of deaths as statistically insignificant. Look | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
at the number of cyclists killed or seriously injured. In the five years | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
until 2007, just over 2000. In the five years with Boris Johnson as | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
Mayor, more than 2500. A rise of 30%. The Mayor claims that more | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
cyclists on the roads means inevitably more accidents. But the | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
Green Party says the rate of accidents has gotten worse. In 2008, | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
one death or injury occurred every 402,000 journeys and in 2011 it | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
happened every 364,000 journeys. Statistics aside, the mayor was | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
under fire over his response to earlier warnings. Two years ago we | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
talked about reviewing dangerous junctions and we have seen a handful | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
of changes. You need to make sure the offices start working at the | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
pace that Londoners want them to. Rather than in their own world, | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
which seems to take years. I must reject what you have said because | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
they think they have worked extremely well. It is very easy to | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
put in substandard or inadequate schemes and then be forced, because | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
they have been badly researched and thought through, to take them out | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
again. He was pressed by even the Conservative group leader on the | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
Assembly to hold a review of the most controversial road, the | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
so`called superhighway to in East London. It would restore public | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
confidence. But the Mayor said it and the other highways are already | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
being reviewed on an ongoing basis. Tim Donovan with that report. | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
Tonight, transport police are out in force in East London as they begin a | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
campaign to make the roads safer for cyclists and motorcyclists. Our | :04:41. | :04:41. | |
transport correspondent, Tom Edwards, is there for us now to | :04:42. | :04:51. | |
gauge reaction. Tom? This operation is not far away from the | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
superhighway, where a number of cyclists have died. And this gives | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
you some indication of the blind spot. In this area, if the driver | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
has not got up`to`date mirrors, he cannot see you. If you moments ago | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
the police were on the road and they were talking to cyclists and giving | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
them advice about lights and high visibility and helmets as part of | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
this drive to make the roads safer and make improved behaviour. This is | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
what cyclists had to say. At least they are doing something. With the | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
number of deaths going on. It is good they are doing something. You | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
have been cycling because of those deaths, have you changed behaviour? | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
A little bit. A little bit. But I try to be safe and do not take any | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
chances. I am also a car driver so I welcome that from both angles. What | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
do you make of what has been going on? Has changed the way that you | :06:00. | :06:07. | |
cycle? You are on this superhighway? I cycle here every day. I am aware | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
of this. Personally, I just followed the Highway code. Some cyclists | :06:14. | :06:24. | |
think these operations are widespread victim blaming. This is | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
what the Met had to say. If we can do something to prevent death or | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
series injury, that is a start and the wider argument is about changing | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
legislation, and also changes to infrastructure but that does not | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
happen overnight. If you want to build something new, that will take | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
months or years. The Met has put over 2000 officers into this | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
campaign so we are here to play our part. That is big to Charlie Lloyd | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
from the London cycle campaign. And you previously drove heavy goods | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
vehicles? What do you make of this operation? It is very important that | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
cyclists and motorcyclists are a way of `` aware of the risks. Because we | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
have had too many tragic deaths. Is the target too much? Is a victim | :07:19. | :07:28. | |
blaming? This is tending towards it being up to the cyclist to do | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
everything but they do not understand how Lawrie 's move. They | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
do their best but cyclists in collisions say that the Lawrie came | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
from nowhere. There are responsibilities on everyone. | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
Driving 30 tonnes of truck, you have to take extra care. Has a wider | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
debate moved away from infrastructure? Onto behaviour? Both | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
elements are very important. We were standing beside this superhighway. | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
And this is a failure in design. This is a failed project. The | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
emphasis is very much on the infrastructure and that needs to be | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
sorted. Today we told the Mayor that 10,000 people have contacted him | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
asking for this rich to be sorted. Briefly, what do you make of the | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
Mayor and his reaction? He has obviously been concerned about this | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
and one thing he said was that the interventions should be based on | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
evidence and we agree. When you look at behaviour of cyclists and trucks | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
and infrastructure, look at what is causing problems and sort that. | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
Thank you. You can expect to see many more operations like this one | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
over the coming weeks. John, thank you. Coming up later in the | :08:47. | :08:56. | |
programme: I would not be sitting here if I do not learn and get | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
things right. England and Surrey batsman Kevin Pietersen looks to put | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
past controversies behind him as the Ashes get underway later tonight. | :09:04. | :09:14. | |
More than 500 cases of child abduction were reported last year | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
across the UK. Today, in a landmark ruling, a court in Russia decided | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
that a mother from North London should have her two children | :09:21. | :09:29. | |
returned to her. Her ex`husband took them to Moscow on holiday last | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
December but refused to bring them back. Guy Smith reports. This is the | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
moment that Rachel find out that her boys were coming home. It is almost | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
one year and a Moscow court has finally ruled in her favour. It was | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
a positive verdict. They are going to take on intervention and I am | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
going to get my children back and I am so happy. Before she left, I | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
visited her at her home in North London. This is a bedroom that her | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
sons shared. It has been empty for 11 months. There are painful | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
memories. They slept here and here. Last December, Rachel, who has sole | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
custody, allowed her ex`husband to take them on what was supposed to be | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
a two`week holiday to Russia, but they never returned. This is Daniel | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
and Jonathan in England before they left. I think that day my heart | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
started racing and it has not stopped. Because every day I think, | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
what can I do to help bring them back? Rachel was given custody of | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
all three boys. The oldest, no inrush, went to a local primary | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
school in north`west London. The UK High Court has repeatedly ordered | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
her husband, who is a former lecturer, to return them. Each time | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
he has refused. They were living in London, they had London accents. | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
They studied in a London school. They loved it here. They liked their | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
life. It is very confusing for them, they have been told so much that was | :11:09. | :11:17. | |
totally wrong. But your mother no longer loves you, for example. How | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
can you say that? And not damage the child. Earlier this year, Russia | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
signed up to the Hague Convention, recognising the legal orders of | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
other countries. Today's hearing in Moscow was the first time it was | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
truly put to the test. Rachel's lawyers spent out the significance. | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
It is important because we have so many families where parents from | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
different nationalities come together and we have a lot of cases | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
where the parents refused to allow the children to have contact in a | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
different jurisdiction. This afternoon in Moscow, the ex`husband | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
said he would talk to his lawyers about making a further appeal. We | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
will finally reach an amicable solution based on compromise and not | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
one possible actions that could be completely against the interests of | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
the children. For Rachel, this is the best chance to reunite her | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
family. She is due to have oldest boys handed back to her within one | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
week. Joining me now is Lady Catherine Meyer, the founder of the | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
charity Parents And Abducted Children Together. Good evening. We | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
heard them say that she would be reunited within one week. Good news, | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
legally. Does that mean automatically she will be? | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
Unfortunately not. It is excellent news because it has set a precedent | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
and this is the first time that Russia is trying a case like this | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
because of the Hague Convention. But unfortunately, it is not automatic. | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
This is only the first step and there has been an appeal and this | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
can take many months. This is not automatic. You have got personal | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
experience of being separated from your children. How widespread is | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
this in London? Very widespread. We don't have exact figures but the one | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
thing I can say is that the foreign office said that in the last ten | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
years there was an Eddie 8% increase in the number of abductions. And | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
this is for very obvious reasons, international marriages, more | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
divorces and in London, because there are many more international | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
marriages, that President is much higher than anywhere else. It is a | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
very difficult issue because it is as important for a child to spend | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
time with both parents but whenever one parent lives in a different | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
country, how can we minimise the risk of these things happening? The | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
law should be more Draconian, cases should be automatically tried very | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
quickly because a longer any child is away, the more difficult it is. | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
We turned should be more automatic than they are. The one thing that | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
people forget and the onus is really on the child. And children suffer | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
enormously in cases like this. Children need both parents. You talk | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
about the significance of this because of Russia signing up to the | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
convention. Are they still countries that you are concerned about the | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
children being taken there because they have not signed up? There are | :14:17. | :14:25. | |
many countries, unfortunately. There are only 53 countries that have | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
signed up to this convention in 1980. Some more have signed up in 19 | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
86 but many more countries, like India, Pakistan, we hear about child | :14:34. | :14:41. | |
abduction there, other countries such as in the southern region, Arab | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
countries, there is no convention. Except for Morocco. In a lot of | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
countries are basically dangerous. Murray the boy next door ` less | :14:55. | :15:04. | |
problems. The RMT union is warning what it calls unprecedented cuts to | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
the Tube could have an impact on passenger safety. It says a decision | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
to be announced by Transport for London tomorrow will result in job | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
losses. TfL says the underground carries passengers more safely than | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
ever before. Maternity and paediatric unit at | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
Chase Farm Hospital will be closed today as part of the reorganisation | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
of the NHS in north London. The departments are being moved to | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
Barnet and North Middlesex hospitals. The A unit is due to | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
close next month. A rape victim from Essex has spoken | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
out about her ordeal in the hope of catching the man who raped her. It | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
was a year ago today she flagged down a car in Basildon for a lift | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
home and was attacked. Police believe the man may be from Eastern | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
Europe. Michelle, not her real name, says the biggest mistake of her life | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
was hitching a lift home from a stranger. I begged him to stop all | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
the way through. He sped into a residence car park and locked the | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
doors. Her rape lasted 20 minutes. He destroyed my faith in anything. I | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
cannot trust anyone. I cannot be in a room with more men than females. | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
Like even in a restaurant or a cinema. The police have his DNA and | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
a man's description. She remembers his large nose and hands. The car he | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
was driving was eight five door Ford focus. We have got the DNA profile | :16:46. | :16:53. | |
and we have circulated the photograph to Interpol countries, | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
focusing on Eastern Europe. So far we have had no positive hit back. | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
One year on Michelle is not just waiting for justice, but the | :17:05. | :17:06. | |
reassuring to other girls in Basildon are safe. I will not be | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
able to rest until justice has been served and he cannot hurt anyone | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
else. Still to come: I will be at the Old Vic where they are counting | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
down to the 24 most stressful hours London theatre season this year. And | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
the weather is pretty lively. Overnight you might see some hail | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
and sleep. The full details later on. | :17:34. | :17:44. | |
As the international aid effort to help millions of people in the | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
Philippines continues, one charity worker from East London who has | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
recently returned from the country says he has been to disaster areas | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
around the world, but this was the most challenging. 33`year`old Zaid | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
Al`Rawni has been helping to deliver food and supplies, travelling from | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
island to island. You get there and it is very normal and you suddenly | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
know the typhoon has hit. Roofs are the wrong way up, homes are | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
completely or partially flatten. There is a weird stench. You see a | :18:20. | :18:27. | |
lot of people in grief because of family members, a lost livelihood or | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
a lost home. It is a traumatic scene. Tell me about the challenges | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
you face getting the aid effort. It was a huge typhoon. It did not have | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
the best infrastructure in the world before the typhoon. It had been | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
completely dissipated. There was built airport and there were no | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
roads, so everything that you would use normally had been destroyed so | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
we had to go Dunkirk style and find existing fishing boats and say, can | :19:01. | :19:10. | |
you help us? But because wheat and sugar and flour in that quantity is | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
quite heavy, you can only take so much at times, so it takes 15 hours | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
to get aid from one island to the next in these banana boats. What | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
makes you get up from your sofa in East London and go and do it? If I | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
can, I should. I feel a sense of duty to people who need help. We are | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
very privileged here, even in the hard times we are facing. How much | :19:40. | :19:48. | |
of a difference did it make? I have not made a big difference, but | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
collectively we have made a difference. That is where the real | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
difference comes. I am incredibly happy where I am in my career right | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
now, the words of cricketer Kevin Pietersen. The England and Surrey | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
batsman will be making his 100th test appearance at the ashes in | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
Australia late tonight. It will be a special moment for a man who has had | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
a turbulent career. Kevin Pietersen, England's ten and most controversial | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
centurion. These are the headlines that greeted him in Brisbane. The | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
man who left South Africa aged 20 to start again in England says he has | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
seen it all before. When you get to Nottingham and one of the first | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
things you hear is, I have never met a nice South African and you hear it | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
day in and day out, that was a lot of stick and I had to have the self | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
drive and ambition and confidence to achieve what I wanted to achieve. It | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
was here at the Oval that England finally ended their ashes jinx in | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
2005. Kevin Pietersen scored his maiden century and has gone on to | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
play a key role in England's dominance ever since as they seek a | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
fifth Ashes triumph in six. Since he walked in he has been a breath of | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
fresh air. He has helped old and young players. His attention to | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
detail and how he goes and performance is a credit to him. He | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
is one of the most professional cricketers I have come across. Not | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
everyone would agree. He lasted six months as the captain, and last year | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
lost his place in the team because of text messages. When I bump my | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
head I have learned. I would not be sitting here if I had not learned | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
and got things right. Where I am now in my career I am incredibly happy. | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
England are confident they can still count on him. | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
Model turned actor Douglas Booth is more used to appearing in Hollywood | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
blockbusters, but this weekend he will take part in one of the | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
toughest challenges for an actor, the Old Vic's 24 hour plays. The | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
task is for actors to write, perform and rehearse plays in 24 hours flat. | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
One stage, 20 actors, six writers and six directors and 24 hours to | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
make six players. At 10pm the company meets. The Old Vic 24 hour | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
celebrity gala is in its 10th year and it brings in top names in what | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
past participants have said is one of the most terrifying thing is an | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
actor can do. Staring into the abyss. It has given me the | :22:50. | :22:59. | |
determination to end it all. At 11pm the writers start writing. Resources | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
are limited. The actors can bring one prop and demonstrate one | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
particular skill. Douglas Booth is a first timer to the project. His prop | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
will be a hat in the shape of a birthday cake. What about his skill? | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
I played the trumpet when I was younger. I do not know if I am going | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
to volunteer that. I do not want to be standing here sweating, trying to | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
play the trumpet. At 6am the writers deliver their scripts and 8am the | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
company meet again. Each lasts ten minutes. We have an overnight team | :23:41. | :23:49. | |
that can point out things like they are using that prop, they are | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
writing a similar thing, but it is always suggestions as opposed to | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
stop doing that. More than ?1 million has been raised so far, | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
ploughed back into working with schools and new London talent. It is | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
about finding people and nurturing them to give them the support. That | :24:11. | :24:18. | |
is where the money goes to. At nine o'clock the rehearsals start and | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
that goes right through the day with the curtain down at seven o'clock. | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
You can still get tickets, but nobody knows what's in store. Wendy | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
is here with a look at the weather which has been very mixed today. | :24:33. | :24:39. | |
Yes, it has been everything. It continues to be quite lively as we | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
go through the night as well. The latest showers have been trying to | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
turn a bit wintry as well. There is a good chance we will see further | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
showers and they could be wintry in places. Persistent rain this | :24:57. | :25:05. | |
morning, it was a very soggy rush hour and that was chased through by | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
some showers with some hail in the most lively. Then we had some lovely | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
sunshine and then there were further showers and there is a bit of sleet | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
caught up in some of these at the moment. The temperatures overnight | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
are falling and there could be some hail and sleet, but it is not going | :25:26. | :25:33. | |
to come to very much. There is a chance we could see some breaks in | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
the cloud and once that happens it will turn pretty cold. That is the | :25:38. | :25:46. | |
air temperature. At the ground level it will be colder than that, so we | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
could have a touch of frost and ice on untreated rural roads as well. It | :25:52. | :25:58. | |
will be lively with the showers on and off and they are still around | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
tomorrow. A really cold day to start with. The showers will fizzle out as | :26:03. | :26:10. | |
we go through the afternoon. The thing about tomorrow is that cold, | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
north easterly wind. It will be feeling more like one or two degrees | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
in the wind. There will be a bit of sunshine later on in the day. Friday | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
is a much better day and it looks as if it will be largely dry with some | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
sunshine as well. It will cloud over gradually over the weekend. | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
Hello winter. A recap of the headlines: The Chancellor is to | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
order an independent enquiry into how Bob Flowers was deemed a | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
suitable chairman of the Co`op bank. He was filmed allegedly by illegal | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
drugs. The enquiry may determine whether the bank's leadership crisis | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
has affected customers. Two women and two children have been killed in | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
a house fire in Chesterfield in Derbyshire. Northern Ireland's | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
Attorney General has proposed an end to prosecutions for killings carried | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
out during the Troubles. More than 3500 people were killed in a 30 year | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
period before the Good Friday Agreement was signed. The Mayor has | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
been accused of being slow to respond to the risks faced by London | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
cyclists. Boris Johnson defended his record, accusing his opponents of | :27:33. | :27:41. | |
scaremongering. More on the website. From all the team, have a lovely | :27:42. | :27:43. | |
evening. I'm Nigel Slater, a cook. | :27:44. | :28:09. | |
And I'm Adam Henson, a farmer. | :28:10. | :28:14. |
