:00:00. > :00:00.Keep up-to-date online. That's all from

:00:00. > :00:20.Tonight, on BBC London News. ASBOs for terrorists and extremists. New

:00:21. > :00:22.proposals from a task force set up by the Prime Minister. We think it's

:00:23. > :00:34.right we should consider what further steps should be taken. Some

:00:35. > :00:37.critics say these moves could actually make it more difficult to

:00:38. > :00:45.monitor potential terrorists. Also tonight: What next for the Olympic

:00:46. > :00:48.Park? The Mayor wants a new science and culture hub. The device fitted

:00:49. > :00:52.by surgeons at the Royal Free Hospital which could avoid the need

:00:53. > :00:55.for liver transplants. Plus, Colin Firth plays a former prisoner of war

:00:56. > :01:03.in his latest film. We talk to him live on the red carpet.

:01:04. > :01:12.Hello and good evening. London knows all too well the dangers of violent

:01:13. > :01:16.extremism. Earlier this year, after the killing of soldier Lee Rigby,

:01:17. > :01:19.the Government set up a special task force to look at what more can be

:01:20. > :01:23.done to combat radicalisation, today it released its findings. They

:01:24. > :01:29.include proposals for new powers to tackle hate preachers and to block

:01:30. > :01:31.extremist websites. There are warnings that the approach could

:01:32. > :01:34.drive those attracted to militant ideologies further underground. This

:01:35. > :01:40.report by our home affairs correspondent, Guy Smith, contains

:01:41. > :01:44.some flash photography. Violent extremism is one of the biggest

:01:45. > :01:49.threats facing London and indeed the UK. It is both highly complex and

:01:50. > :01:54.unpredictable. How to tackle it has been the focus of a five`month

:01:55. > :01:59.Government investigation. The Prime Minister set up a task force after

:02:00. > :02:05.the killing of a British soldier in Woolwich in May. Far`reaching

:02:06. > :02:11.measures were proposed covering schools, universities, prisons,

:02:12. > :02:17.extremist websites and to stop hate preachers from spreading extremist

:02:18. > :02:21.views. They plan to use an order like an ASBO. It is about

:02:22. > :02:25.challenging all of those approaches, supporting communities, supporting

:02:26. > :02:31.more moderate voices. Where there are those that are aspousing hatred,

:02:32. > :02:34.division, actually challenging democracy, we think it is right we

:02:35. > :02:37.should consider what further steps should be taken, perhaps through

:02:38. > :02:42.preventative orders, that is something that we are considering.

:02:43. > :02:46.Another idea involved targeting extremists websites. The Government

:02:47. > :02:51.aims to work with internet companies to restrict terrorism material

:02:52. > :02:54.online. One think`tank, working to counter extremism here in Britain,

:02:55. > :02:58.broadly welcomed the plans, but had reservations. Obviously, there is a

:02:59. > :03:06.huge problem of extremist content online. It's better we tackle and

:03:07. > :03:11.engage this content with counter extreme measures, not by shutting

:03:12. > :03:15.down the debate. Which is technically very difficult to do.

:03:16. > :03:19.The Government wants Muslim chaplains in prisons to have

:03:20. > :03:27.one`on`one sessions challenging the views of some of the most dangerous

:03:28. > :03:34.terrorists. In universities they are reemphasising the need to restrict

:03:35. > :03:37.extremist preachers a platform. We should encourage free speech to

:03:38. > :03:42.challenge the ideas of those you don't agree with and win the

:03:43. > :03:46.argument. You don't do that by creating martyrs and doing the work

:03:47. > :03:50.for terrorist recruiters by giving the appearance of scapegoating

:03:51. > :03:56.particular communities. The Prime Minister, who is currently in China,

:03:57. > :04:02.has reportedly said he wants these proposals implemented and see an end

:04:03. > :04:06.to hate preaching in Britain. Guy is with me now. How are these proposals

:04:07. > :04:11.going down? We have had a mixed response. As you just heard, there

:04:12. > :04:17.are concerns around freedom of speech and some people think that

:04:18. > :04:21.these proposals are a bit vague. Broadly speaking, many people are

:04:22. > :04:24.thinking the Government actually is hitting the right targets. We have

:04:25. > :04:29.known for a long time that radicalisation happens in

:04:30. > :04:32.universities, prisons and mosques. We have tough legislation. The

:04:33. > :04:37.question is whether these new plans will make a real difference. As you

:04:38. > :04:42.just heard the minister saying, the aim is to support moderate voices,

:04:43. > :04:45.to support communities, but take on the terrorists. The Prime Minister

:04:46. > :04:50.has said that the Government shouldn't shy away from tackling

:04:51. > :05:00.extremism just because of cultural sensitivities. Many thanks. Lots

:05:01. > :05:03.more to come, including. She was a Gold`winning hero of the London

:05:04. > :05:21.Games. Now, Charlotte Dujardin gets ready for the highlight of the

:05:22. > :05:24.equestrian calendar. It's part of the Government plan for easing the

:05:25. > :05:28.housing crisis, freeing up offices to be converted into houses even if

:05:29. > :05:31.the local authority objects. Now, four London councils have taken the

:05:32. > :05:34.Government to court saying the new law is endangering jobs and will

:05:35. > :05:36.lead to lower quality housing. Warren Nettleford has this report.

:05:37. > :05:40.Bianca owns this sign language company in Islington providing

:05:41. > :05:44.translators and other services to businesses. All was going well until

:05:45. > :05:48.they were forced to move at short notice. They were based in this

:05:49. > :05:52.office block on the Holloway Road. The owners took advantage of a new

:05:53. > :05:56.law which allows them to convert office buildings into flats, that is

:05:57. > :06:03.without the council's permission. We had to move very quickly. We were

:06:04. > :06:10.given one to two weeks. Big affect on the company because I had set up

:06:11. > :06:16.courses, plans. Since May this year, when the law came into force, #50s

:06:17. > :06:22.schemes have been approved in Islington alone. There is a cost.

:06:23. > :06:28.Around 11,000 square meeters in office space has been lost.

:06:29. > :06:38.Islington Council say it is equates to 1,000 jobs. Charities are being

:06:39. > :06:42.eevict so it can be converted into residential property. We have a

:06:43. > :06:46.strong policy where we say 50% of all new housing should be

:06:47. > :06:52.affordable. As it doesn't go through the planning system, none of it is

:06:53. > :06:57.affordable. It has been sat there for a number of years. If we had

:06:58. > :06:59.gone through the traditional planning process it would have taken

:07:00. > :07:03.a number of years to convert the building into a residential

:07:04. > :07:08.building. It has taken eight weeks. We will have new homes by June next

:07:09. > :07:10.year. The Government say this new law is intended to create

:07:11. > :07:15.regeneration and boost economic growth. It's the Meted of creating

:07:16. > :07:22.growth which separates the Government from Islington and three

:07:23. > :07:31.other London councils. A judgment is expected from the High Court. A new

:07:32. > :07:33.vision for the future of the Olympic Park has been revealed. The Mayor

:07:34. > :07:37.wants to establish a major scientific and cultural hub near the

:07:38. > :07:39.Aquatics Centre and today the V and University College London said

:07:40. > :07:46.they were committed to establishing bases there. Ayshea Buksh reports.

:07:47. > :07:48.It was a spectacular start to an incredible Games for London. What is

:07:49. > :07:53.happening now on the Olympic Park? Well, as well as the sports venues

:07:54. > :07:56.there are plans for a cultural and academic hub, two well`known

:07:57. > :08:01.institutions have already expressed an interest. The V A, an

:08:02. > :08:04.internationally renowned museum and research centre and University

:08:05. > :08:08.College London, one of the world's top universities. At the moment this

:08:09. > :08:12.part of the Olympic Park is closed to the public. This is the land that

:08:13. > :08:17.has been set aside for this new project, over here is where the V

:08:18. > :08:22.A hope to have their new museum. Across the other side of the

:08:23. > :08:34.Aquatics Centre, just south of the Orbit is where UCL hope to have a

:08:35. > :08:40.new campus. Plans to building next to the Olympic Park collapse last

:08:41. > :08:45.year. Why can they get it together this year? We are looking for this

:08:46. > :08:48.cluster, this hub of higher education and cultural organisations

:08:49. > :08:55.to come together. We think it's attractive to UCL, the impediments

:08:56. > :09:03.they had before don't exist on the sites we had before. Do you mean

:09:04. > :09:06.local people? No. We are talking about the phasing. We will work with

:09:07. > :09:11.the local communities to make sure we can fully project the importance

:09:12. > :09:15.and the usefulness that UCL will bring in terms of local skills and

:09:16. > :09:19.jobs and we are extremely committed to working with those local

:09:20. > :09:23.communities. Locals and other Londoners will have to wait though

:09:24. > :09:27.for more exact plans. Both public and private money will be needed to

:09:28. > :09:36.complete the project. It is hoped building work will begin in 2016.

:09:37. > :09:39.Those proposals were unveiled as part of the so`called National

:09:40. > :09:42.Infrastructure Plan. What else in it was of interest to London? Let's

:09:43. > :09:50.cross to our political editor, Tim Donovan, who's at Westminster. Tim,

:09:51. > :09:55.enlighten us? Not a huge amount. A guarden bridge across the Thames,

:09:56. > :10:00.plans for one. The Government said it would put ?30 million towards the

:10:01. > :10:04.expected ?150 million cost of this. It equates to the amount of money

:10:05. > :10:08.that the people would get back constructing it, what they had to

:10:09. > :10:13.pay for VAT and so on. The rest of the money will come from private

:10:14. > :10:17.donations and TFL. Money to refurbish the railway station at

:10:18. > :10:21.Gatwick. Money going into a study looking at improving rail routes

:10:22. > :10:25.from the south to Heathrow. That, as you can imagine, is not something

:10:26. > :10:29.that the Mayor's office were particularly keen to welcome, given

:10:30. > :10:34.they don't see a long`term future for that airport there anyway. There

:10:35. > :10:38.anything for cyclists given the recent focus on road safety? No. It

:10:39. > :10:41.wasn't expected. Neither is anything expected tomorrow in the Autumn

:10:42. > :10:44.Statement. New evidence today that it is not really the issue of how

:10:45. > :10:49.many money there is going into cycling, what is happening to that

:10:50. > :10:53.money. How it is being spent at the moment. Papers going to Transport

:10:54. > :10:58.for London Board next week indicate a sixth of the budget for

:10:59. > :11:02.improvement, capital improvements on the roads, including cycling, ?60

:11:03. > :11:06.million won't be spent this year. That is a sensitive issue when

:11:07. > :11:13.people have been clamouring for improvements. There are delays with

:11:14. > :11:18.the cycle super highways and the cycle hire scheme. They are trying

:11:19. > :11:21.to assemble the best experts in the country to improve designs and it

:11:22. > :11:25.takes time in terms of planning. Is this problem with spending on

:11:26. > :11:31.infrastructure, Tim, confined to cycling? Not according to these

:11:32. > :11:36.latest figures. ?170 million will not be spent this year. A tenth of

:11:37. > :11:39.that budget. It is sensitive, as I indicated yesterday, when we were

:11:40. > :11:43.talking about fares, people are not going to be prepared, or happy to be

:11:44. > :11:47.paying year`on`year fare increases when they find out that the money is

:11:48. > :11:52.not going out the door. So there are delays or rephasing as Transport for

:11:53. > :11:57.London puts it, to Tube projects and so on. These delays to cycle

:11:58. > :12:18.projects. Tim, from Westminster, thank you. Michael Beckett was a

:12:19. > :12:21.former alcoholic whose life has been transformed by a new device being

:12:22. > :12:24.tested on patients with liver disease. Doctors at the Royal Free

:12:25. > :12:28.Hospital say they hope it could avoid people needing a transplant

:12:29. > :12:31.and even allow the liver to recover. Gareth Furby has the story. Michael

:12:32. > :12:33.Beckford was a heavy drinker with cirrhosis of the liver. It left him

:12:34. > :12:36.with a hugely swollen stomach, caused by a build`up of fluid. I had

:12:37. > :12:39.the normal comments about, "are you pregnant? When is it due, is it

:12:40. > :12:45.twins?" Now, he is a different man. It is because a tiny pump has been

:12:46. > :12:52.implanted inside his abdomen This removes the fluid, making it easier

:12:53. > :12:55.for his liver to heal. He was at the Royal Free Hospital today where the

:12:56. > :12:59.divorce is being tried. He is said to be the first to try it in the

:13:00. > :13:06.country and has nothing but praise. It's been amazing that I have gone

:13:07. > :13:11.from being this close to having a liver transplant to having a

:13:12. > :13:17.different lifestyle near enough. We will take you off the transplant

:13:18. > :13:22.list, is that OK? With 4,000 people a year dying in the UK from

:13:23. > :13:27.cirrhosis the device will have a clinical trial involving 60 patients

:13:28. > :13:33.across Europe. So far so good. We have had a few complications which

:13:34. > :13:38.we will describe in the clinical trial. We don't know if it's

:13:39. > :13:42.device`related or natural history of the disease. We need to do a

:13:43. > :13:46.controlled clinical trial to be sure we can separate the disease from the

:13:47. > :13:51.device. Michael Beckford's liver is healing. His appearance is back to

:13:52. > :13:54.normal. Soon the pump will be removed. Along with giving up

:13:55. > :14:07.drinking alcohol, it may just have saved his life. A 15`year old girl

:14:08. > :14:10.has been arrested in connection with the murder of a teenager in north

:14:11. > :14:13.London. 17`year`old student Joshua Folkes was fatally stabbed in the

:14:14. > :14:16.chest outside a flat in Palmers Green in the early hours of

:14:17. > :14:19.yesterday morning. Detectives are appealing to his friends and the

:14:20. > :14:25.local community to help find his killers. Still to come tonight: What

:14:26. > :14:29.is happening people, it's me Tinchy Stryder. Find out why I'm in East

:14:30. > :14:33.London, where I grew up. Don't miss that. He stars in the real`life

:14:34. > :14:37.story of a British soldier who becomes a prisoners of war. The I

:14:38. > :14:48.will talk to Colin Firth about his latest film The Railway Man.

:14:49. > :14:53.The police officer at the centre of the so`called plebgate row is to sue

:14:54. > :14:56.the former Cabinet minister, Andrew Mitchell for libel. PC Toby Rowland

:14:57. > :14:59.was involved in a heated confrontation with Mr Mitchell at

:15:00. > :15:13.the gates of Downing Street last year. Emma North's been following

:15:14. > :15:17.this. Remind us about this? Mr Mitchell was told he couldn't ride

:15:18. > :15:21.his bicycle through the gates of Downing Street. A row enSued it was

:15:22. > :15:25.the contents of this row which caused all the fuss. Mr Mitchel

:15:26. > :15:30.claims he said to the police officers, "I thought you guise were

:15:31. > :15:36.exposed to (BLEEP)

:15:37. > :15:43.help us." The Toby Rowland said Mr Mitchel's language was much more

:15:44. > :15:47.robust. Mr Mitchel admits swearing at the police officers he doesn't

:15:48. > :15:56.deny that he used those exact words. That is the short background. Let us

:15:57. > :16:02.bring ourselves up`to`date. Mr Mitchel is suing the Sun. He accused

:16:03. > :16:11.PC Rowland's of lying. He challenged him to repeat the words under oath

:16:12. > :16:14.in court. PC Rowland's is suing Andrew Mitchell for libel. It will

:16:15. > :16:27.now be a battle of reputations that will be played out in the courts.

:16:28. > :16:30.Thank you for that update. The Duke of Cambridge joined in a game of

:16:31. > :16:34.volleyball at a sports centre in west London today. The Prince looked

:16:35. > :16:37.a little lost as he tried out his skills, but laughed and joked with

:16:38. > :16:40.young people at the event. The scheme in White City trains under

:16:41. > :16:45.24`year olds ` many from disadvantaged social backgrounds `

:16:46. > :16:48.to become qualified sports coaches. Her triumphant showing at London

:16:49. > :16:52.2012 made Charlotte Dujardan one of the faces of the Games. Further

:16:53. > :16:56.success in 2013 has seen her nominated for the prestigious

:16:57. > :16:59.Sportswoman of the Year Award. Chris Slegg has been to meet the Gold

:17:00. > :17:01.medallist who helped bring the dancing horses of dressage to a new

:17:02. > :17:14.audience. COMMENTATOR: Britain has got another

:17:15. > :17:19.Gold. What a performance. With two Gold medals in dressage at London

:17:20. > :17:25.2012, Charlotte Dujardin was one of the stars of last year's Olympics.

:17:26. > :17:33.This morning, the World Number One was back in the capital, riding with

:17:34. > :17:40.officers of the Household Cavalry in Hide Park. It's different to what

:17:41. > :17:44.I'm used to. No pressure, having a real easy stroll around the park.

:17:45. > :17:48.Today served as gentle preparation for one of the highlights of the

:17:49. > :17:53.equestrian year, the International Horse Show at Olympia. Given the

:17:54. > :17:59.year you have had, your confidence must be sky high? I'm really, really

:18:00. > :18:04.confident. It's probably one of the biggest competitions I love. I look

:18:05. > :18:12.forward to it every year. It's just the ultimate kind of dream to ride

:18:13. > :18:20.at Olympia. Charlotte Dujardin won Olympic Gold an this year's Olympic

:18:21. > :18:24.Championship. I complete abroad a lot on him. The British crowd don't

:18:25. > :18:28.see him that often. He is a special horse. We have a great partnership.

:18:29. > :18:32.I been training him since he was four. We have grown such a great

:18:33. > :18:40.connection and partnership. Tomorrow, the 28`year`old could be

:18:41. > :18:55.crowned Sportswoman of the Year. It's a huge honour to be a part of

:18:56. > :19:00.that. To be recognised and you know, I just want to thank everybody who

:19:01. > :19:11.is voting. 2012, wasn't bad, Charlotte Dujardin hopes 2013 ends

:19:12. > :19:14.well too. Let's hope so. In football, Fulham's new boss will

:19:15. > :19:18.take charge of his team for the first time tonight as they play host

:19:19. > :19:21.to Tottenham in the Premier League. Rene Moolensteen has replaced Martin

:19:22. > :19:24.Jol who was sacked after five league defeats in a row. Moolensteen had

:19:25. > :19:28.two spells at Manchester United as part of Sir Alex Ferguson's back

:19:29. > :19:30.room staff. He only arrived at the west London club last month as a

:19:31. > :19:39.coach. It's a far cry from his role as Mr

:19:40. > :19:43.Darcy. Colin Firth's latest film sees him as a prisoner of war in a

:19:44. > :19:46.Japanese camp during World War II. The Railway Man is based on a true

:19:47. > :19:53.story. Our entertainment correspondent, Brenda Emmanus, is at

:19:54. > :20:03.the premiere in Leicester Square. I certainly am. M.th railwayman is a

:20:04. > :20:18.powerful story survival love and redemption. Before Colin enlightens

:20:19. > :20:23.us, here is a clip. `` The Railway Man. He is alive, I know where he

:20:24. > :20:29.is. He won't have a clue you are coming. This is what you're going to

:20:30. > :20:36.do, isn't it? I'm afraid the museum is closed. I'm surprised you don't

:20:37. > :20:45.recognise me. Lomax. I'm asking the questions, you answer. I did not

:20:46. > :20:53.expect you to be alive. Colin joins me now having been pulled away from

:20:54. > :20:58.his signing of fans. Is it fair to say this takes the story of when

:20:59. > :21:02.they return after the war the emotional and physical impact of

:21:03. > :21:11.that? I think it's a very different telling of that period of history. I

:21:12. > :21:16.think that from what I have understood from people who were on

:21:17. > :21:22.that railway, it doesn't really represent their experience. This is

:21:23. > :21:28.an attempt to, I think, you know really deal with it head on. Yes, it

:21:29. > :21:33.is to do with the aftermath. I think that the suffering that was endured

:21:34. > :21:40.by the people there didn't end with the war. I think also it addresses

:21:41. > :21:43.the fact there were a lot of secondary casualties, wives,

:21:44. > :21:48.children and other people who have to deal with the damage. We have

:21:49. > :21:51.seen some of the veterans of the Death Railway attending the

:21:52. > :21:55.screening this evening. Their story is rarely told. Is that one of the

:21:56. > :22:01.motivations for you, is that what you found interesting? It is one of

:22:02. > :22:07.the things that drew me. Something that was not only so terrible, on

:22:08. > :22:11.such a scale I think that it really is quite mind`boggling that it's not

:22:12. > :22:19.something we study in schools. It's not something that we see regular

:22:20. > :22:23.expressed through film. You know, most of the World War II films are

:22:24. > :22:28.about the European wars. They don't necessarily shy away from the

:22:29. > :22:36.horrors, there are an awful lot of adventure films told. We are running

:22:37. > :22:43.out of time, Eric Lomax died while the film was being edited. He wasn't

:22:44. > :22:48.able to be here. Thank you very very much. You pokerful story. To you

:22:49. > :23:01.both, thank you. Something very different. How's this for a school

:23:02. > :23:04.music lesson? Sixth formers at a new academy in Stratford, who've been

:23:05. > :23:08.set the task of coming up with a school anthem, have been given a

:23:09. > :23:11.helping hand by none other than east London rapper Tinchy Stryder.

:23:12. > :23:14.Chobham Academy opened in September in the newly created East Village

:23:15. > :23:19.next to the Olympic Park. Helen Drew has been finding out more. Students

:23:20. > :23:23.rehearsing their new school song here at Chobham Academy under the

:23:24. > :23:27.watchful eye of Tinchy Stryder. It's the launch of the east village

:23:28. > :23:32.artist and residents programme which will see various artists creating

:23:33. > :23:36.work in the area. It means a lot to this East Ender to be involved. When

:23:37. > :23:41.I was growing up in East London the opportunities weren't there for us,

:23:42. > :23:45.like. That. There are so many options for them now. I make music.

:23:46. > :23:50.When I was growing up I couldn't just go to a studio or have a school

:23:51. > :23:53.where they have studios. To know it's here in East London. It's

:23:54. > :23:58.great, an amazing thing to happen. Chobham Academy is part of London's

:23:59. > :24:01.newest neighbourhood, the East Village, which is part of the

:24:02. > :24:05.athletes' village from last year's Olympics. The idea today is to try

:24:06. > :24:09.and create a cultural legacy. The change in this area of East London

:24:10. > :24:12.is being felt by these sixth`formers. London now, after the

:24:13. > :24:16.Olympics, everything is about opportunities for children, for the

:24:17. > :24:19.youth. That is what is happening. Really good opportunity. Great

:24:20. > :24:25.platform to start off at. The fact he is from East London really makes

:24:26. > :24:28.you think, I can do it. I can progress to be what I want to to be.

:24:29. > :24:33.Has had a great time working with them. The whole bouncing ideas, what

:24:34. > :24:37.I like about them is that there wasn't offended. They all had their

:24:38. > :24:43.own talents and skills. We combined it. It was good. Other musicians,

:24:44. > :24:47.poets, artists and writers will come to Strafford over the next year to

:24:48. > :24:55.help build the cultural legacy that started with a song.

:24:56. > :25:07.Wet and windy weather on the way. We will escape the worst of it this

:25:08. > :25:11.time round. No sign of it at the moment out there. It is quiet, it is

:25:12. > :25:16.clear and it is cold, widespread frost is developing. That will be

:25:17. > :25:23.down on the grass. It might turn misty for a time over night tonight.

:25:24. > :25:30.As the breeze freshens it will blow mistiness away. A few places air

:25:31. > :25:36.temperatures will get close to freezing. For many of us they will

:25:37. > :25:40.stay above zero. Tomorrow a bright, breezy, but chilled start to the

:25:41. > :25:45.day. As the breeze freshens up it will blow more and more cloud across

:25:46. > :25:52.us. It will get quite gusty by the afternoon. We are looking at a top

:25:53. > :25:56.temperature of 10`11 Celsius. Just in time for tomorrow evening's rush

:25:57. > :26:02.the wind will drive rain across the London area. Now, the gusts for most

:26:03. > :26:06.of us tomorrow will be around 40mph to 50mph. Up across the Home

:26:07. > :26:11.Counties to the north of London there will be damaging gusts of

:26:12. > :26:17.60mph. Further north there are strongest gusts hitting 70mph,

:26:18. > :26:22.80mph, even stronger than that in place. That is the reason for the

:26:23. > :26:26.Amber weather warning. There will be travel trouble. Make the most of the

:26:27. > :26:31.travel service on radio and online. The strong winds will push a lot of

:26:32. > :26:35.water dow the North Sea. There will be an increased risk of some coastal

:26:36. > :26:39.flooding in Essex and Kent. You might want to keep an eye on that.

:26:40. > :26:43.Things should calm down on Friday. Even with the sunshine, it will

:26:44. > :26:46.still feel cold in the wind. Over the weekend, the cloud will be back

:26:47. > :26:56.and it won't feel quite so cold. Thank you very much. A reminder of

:26:57. > :26:59.the day's headlines: The celebrity chef, Nigella Lawson, has admitted

:27:00. > :27:03.in court that she took cocaine, but denied she was an addict. She said

:27:04. > :27:08.it happened during a very difficult time in her relationship with former

:27:09. > :27:13.husband, Charles Saatchi. The jury in the Lee Rigby murder trial heard

:27:14. > :27:17.that one of the alleged killers showed no regret or remorse. Michael

:27:18. > :27:21.Adebolajo criticised British politicians and said he was upset

:27:22. > :27:24.about the deaths of people in Muslim lands. The Home Secretary has been

:27:25. > :27:28.setting out proposals on how the Government plans to tackle

:27:29. > :27:32.extremism. They include new powers to combat hate preachers as well as

:27:33. > :27:41.extremist material on the internet. That is it from us for now. Alex

:27:42. > :27:46.Bushill will be back with the latest from the London newsroom at 10.25pm.

:27:47. > :27:47.From all the team here, thanks for watching and have a lovely evening.
