6pm. It's goodbye from me and on BBC One, we join our teams where you | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
are. Tonight, accusations of unnecessary | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
violence as a police officer appears to throw punches at a student | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
protest at the University of London. Police were hitting people and | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
shoving people all over the place. And today, more scuffles. Also | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
tonight, the practising Christian fighting for the legal right not to | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
work on Sundays. A royal opening for the Greenwich | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
Equestrian Centre, celebrating the Olympic legacy of the borough. | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
Recreating the Long walk to freedom. We talked to the stars of the new | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
Nelson Mandela film, live on the red carpet. | :00:45. | :00:56. | |
Good evening. Welcome to the programme. First, accusations that | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
some police officers used unnecessary violence to end a | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
student sit in at the University of London. Footage appears to show an | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
officer throwing two punches. There were numerous skirmishes and three | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
arrests as police stopped the demonstration last night. The | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
Metropolitan Police say that there has been no official complaints. | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
This afternoon, more protests. This footage appears to show a | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
police officer punching a man in a black booty. Look again. The | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
officer's left`hand seems to strike him in the face, and then this. This | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
time, a woman appears to be dragged by other officers. Both of these | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
videos were taken last night and passed to BBC London today. Other | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
students say that they saw the police being heavy`handed. The | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
police were hitting and shoving people all over the place. There was | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
no violence in the occupation. All of the violence came from the | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
security staff, beating people up. Police people beating `` police | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
beating people up. The students were protesting against plans to close | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
the student union. At 5pm, the staff were escorted from the building | :02:13. | :02:13. | |
before were escorted from the building | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
protesters were ordered to leave one hour later. At 7:20pm, the police | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
and security staff removed protesters. The University said they | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
called the police because they were worried about staff and described | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
the behaviour of students yesterday as aggressive and dating. But | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
students who gathered today are unconvinced. `` aggressive and | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
intimidating. We were peaceful and the police got violent. Ice are a | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
student being dragged by the neck. I cannot imagine doing anything that | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
have warrants, physical brutality from the police. The mix of police | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
and protesters, too many police, that made the mood confrontational. | :02:53. | :03:01. | |
The protest today was in response to yesterday's events. 200 students | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
gathered at the University of London and was a big police presence to | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
match. In the last few minutes, police vans have arrived. It was not | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
`` it was very peaceful but tension has risen. Police have confirmed | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
that they have not received any complaints about the conduct of | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
their officers last night. Coming up later, it looks like the | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
storm in the North is going to have a pasty sting in its tail for us. I | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
will have the details later in the programme. | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
`` a Nazis staying. A police officer has told the | :03:38. | :03:46. | |
inquest into the death of Mark Duggan that the suggestion that he | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
planted a gun at the scene was highly offensive will stop the | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
witness giving evidence anonymously denied that he was a liar during | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
exchanges with the lawyer representing Duggan's family. | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
The senior firearms officer, known only as the 59, returns to the High | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
Court today to explain why his evidence about what happened at the | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
scene of Mark Duggan's shooting has changed since he appeared in court | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
in October. V59 Initially told investigators that he instructed | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
back`up firearms officers to secure a gun that had been found on ground | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
close to the incident. But now he said he was mistaken and that | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
conversation must have happened later. Mr Thomas, for the family, | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
suggested that footage taken by a resident in a tower block nearby, in | :04:39. | :04:46. | |
the aftermath of the shooting, challenged V59's account, and | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
suggested that he and his colleagues pointed the gun. Mr Thomas went on | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
to say: V59, speaking from buying the | :04:52. | :05:09. | |
screen, said that he was confused about timings of when he gave | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
specific instructions to officers in the immediate aftermath of this | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
shooting. The jury is not expected to hear any more evidence and the | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
judge says he plans to begin summing up to the jury next week. | :05:25. | :05:33. | |
A former Superbike rider has been arrested on suspicion of murdering | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
his wife in Dubai. Sean Emmett was stranded in the Gulf state for ten | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
months after his wife fell from a hotel window. He had just had his | :05:42. | :05:51. | |
passport returned, and flew in this morning. | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
The Surrey police said they made several arrests last night. Apple is | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
linked to human trafficking were targeted, as well as businesses | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
suspected of handling stolen goods. The Chancellor has said that foreign | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
investment buying `` foreign investors buying property in London | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
will soon pay capital gains tax. The announcement comes after accusations | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
that foreign buyers are driving up property prices in the capital. | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
They have been held partly responsible for pushing house prices | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
through the roof. In prime locations especially. But no foreign investors | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
are to become liable for capital gains tax. I think it is unlikely | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
that the tax will put a lot of people off. There is a risk that it | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
sends out an issue that the taxation of foreign owned property is | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
something that will be looked at in the run`up to the election, but the | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
tax itself is not so severe as to have an impact on people's desire to | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
buy. The Treasury insists that this is not designed to deter investors | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
from buying and selling property in the capital, simply to deal with an | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
anomaly in the tax system. In the scheme of things, it will not make | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
that much money. The early estimate is about ?15 million in 2016, ?40 | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
million the next year and ?70 million the router. While it is | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
welcome, because hopefully million the next year and ?70 | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
million the router. While it it will come `` Kama the housing market, the | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
bigger issue is that we need to build more homes. The problem we | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
have seen is that the government has been stalking house prices with | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
different measures, like up to buy, but not enough is being done on the | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
supply side, where we are seeing the lowest rate of new build | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
internationally since the 20s. It is not expected that people will start | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
selling up until `` when this comes into course because current owners | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
will not pay any capital gains until after this comes in, in 2015. We are | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
seeing this in relation to other regime changes, other rule changes, | :07:54. | :08:01. | |
whether it is a question of self`assessment. We have had to | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
calculate the value of a particular property at a set date in order to | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
cater for tax change. And the issues of valuation and how the tax will be | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
permitted will now be subject to consultation. | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
`` tax will be implemented. What else happened? He allowed local | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
authorities across the country ?300 million more headroom to borrow, to | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
build more rooms. London council will say that is not enough. He also | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
suggested that the should be a blitz on trying to sell the more expensive | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
social housing. So that you could then build more, numerically. That | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
could impact on the centre of London. Help for small businesses, | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
as expected. They welcomed that there will not be an inflation rise, | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
and the business rate will be capped at 2%. And there were measures to | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
improve the high streets. He mentioned Brentford, a town centre | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
which has been concerned about the number of vacancies and the problems | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
in that High Street. Offering a ?1000 discount on rates for | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
properties in places like Brentford, and also for new businesses, to get | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
them in, offering them a half the rates for a period of time, to | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
attract businesses into vacant premises. And what is this about | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
train fares you make this has urged today, and appears to show the | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
government and City Hall are not speaking as one. This is related to | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
real fears. The Chancellor, quite a surprise, said he was quick to be | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
taking real fears and inflation today. Three days ago, you will | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
remember that the mayor set his package out. He was assuming that | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
the Chancellor was like to put inflation plus 1% on the fares. This | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
is crucial when you think about travel cards. He is charging people | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
next year in London, 1% above inflation because he thought that | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
would be a big component of rail. The Chancellor has said, no, real | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
fears are going to be lower. `` rail fares. Labour, for instance, have | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
said straightaway that he has to bring down the travel cards, the | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
price. Three days after he told us that he is bring it in. | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
What we need is for the May two play catch up and actually bring down the | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
costs of season tickets. `` the mayor Ayr play catch up. He cannot | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
sensibly put them up above the rate that the government is suggesting. | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
City Hall is saying that they are relaxed about this but there is | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
something here. I know that TEFL officials had no idea that this was | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
going to happen. `` Transport for London. One official said it was | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
shafting the mere because he has already decided on his policy and | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
now there is money available for the Chancellor and it does not look as | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
if London is going to get it. According to City Hall, there is a | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
statement year, congratulating George on holding down next year's | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
real fears for all passengers, wherever they are in the country. `` | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
rail fares. It is not at all clear that there will be the case. Tim | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
Donovan. Police in Southend are investigating | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
the possibility that a mother killed her son before taking her own life | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
after starting a fire in their car. The bodies of Catherine mlaba and | :11:30. | :11:39. | |
her son, 10p Mack, were found on Tuesday evening. | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
A Christian woman has lost the latest round of her legal battle not | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
to be forced to work on Sundays. 50 age old Celestina Mba wanted to | :11:47. | :11:56. | |
claim this directive dismissal. For the reasons it's played in the | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
judgement, the appeal is dismissed. The moment that Celestina Mba lost | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
her latest legal battle to have Sundays off work. She is a Baptist, | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
and cared for autistic children at a centre run by the council. She | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
claimed that she had an agreement with her employer that she would be | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
able to observe the fourth commandment, to rest and pray on the | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
Sabbath. But after two years, she claims the council put on weekend | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
shifts, forcing her to resign. An employment tribunal overruled her | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
claim of constructive dismissal, and so now has a Court of Appeal. But | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
there was an important legal victory for Celestina. All three members of | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
the court have identified a legal error in the decision of the | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
voluntary Google. There is some difference between us in our | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
analysis. At the heart of the legal argument was whether or not the | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
fourth commandment is a core component of the Christian faith. | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
They tribunal says that it is not. The Court of Appeal says that that | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
was a legal mistake will stop illegal judges ruled that the faith | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
of the individual believers should be recognised and protected. | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
Actually, they have acknowledged that the Christian faith, having | :13:11. | :13:18. | |
Sunday off is a core component. What inspired you to bring this case | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
forward and keep fighting so hard? Jesus. Jesus. Because Jesus is | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
everything. Everything to Christians. In a statement, the | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
leader of the council said: Although her appeal failed because | :13:32. | :13:54. | |
she was contractually obliged to work Sundays, Christian campaigners | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
say a court's acknowledgement that religious beliefs should be | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
protected could turn the tide and Christians being marginalised in the | :14:03. | :14:11. | |
workplace. It's the new home Brentford have been dreaming of for | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
more than a decade. And tonight they'll find out whether plans for a | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
new 20,000 seater stadium close to the club's current ground will be | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
approved. But some people in the area are not happy with some aspects | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
of the redevelopment. Chris Slegg has the story. Griffin Park, an | :14:25. | :14:32. | |
intimate ground, not even the cameraman gets a clear view for big | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
games like this win over Premier League Everton. This place has been | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
home to Brentford since 1904. It gives rise to that famous piece of | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
football trivia, it's the only stadium with a pub on every corner. | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
But if the club gets its way, at a meeting at Hounslow Civic Centre | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
tonight, the fans could soon be doing their pre`match drinking in a | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
different part of town. A mile away at Lionel Road is where Brentford | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
want to build a new stadium. On a 7.6 acre site between Kew Bridge | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
railway station and the M4. This is what they propose. New homes, | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
community facilities and 20,000 seater stadium. The most important | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
day in the club's history. It is more important than any game we've | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
played this season, we've had some good ones and big ones. If you look | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
at the case we put forward, it should happen. By Isner Brentford | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
began their bid to move 11 years ago. Last year they bought the site. | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
They applied for planning permission in May and hope to move in by August | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
2016. Several local groups are against the building of residential | :15:41. | :15:59. | |
tower to help finance the move. The scheme has been opposed by the | :16:00. | :16:01. | |
London Borough of Richmond, by the Royal palaces, by English Heritage. | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
So whatever they decide tonight, it will have to go to the heir and | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
possibly the Secretary of State. We hope that at some point the new | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
scheme, which is much more satisfactory, will emerge. | :16:10. | :16:10. | |
Brentford's journey towards their dream home still has some distance | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
left to run. Still to come... Albie talking to Londoners Naomi Harris | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
and Idris Elba, as they take on the huge roles of Nelson and Winnie | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
Mandela in the biopic, The Long Walk to Freedom. | :16:23. | :16:31. | |
Greenwich Park was the backdrop for the London 2012 equestrian events. | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
And today the legacy lives on with the opening of Equestrian Centre by | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
the Princess Royal. It's not just to attract local people to take up | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
riding but also to consider a career in the equine world, as our sports | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
news correspondent, Adrian Warner, reports. The most spectacular | :16:47. | :16:55. | |
Olympic equestrian stage ever. Jumping across the Meridian line. | :16:56. | :17:04. | |
That's all right, but my word, she is on the edge! And also trying to | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
break down class barriers, by bringing what some say is a posh | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
sport into the city. Not everybody wanted the Olympics to come here. | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
Some were worried about the park being damaged. Others said there | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
wouldn't be a sporting legacy for Greenwich. The new Greenwich | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
Equestrian Centre is about proving them wrong. A place where students | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
learn how to look after horses, and they certainly get VIP treatment | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
here. This is physiotherapy for animals will stop a freezing cold | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
footbath. It's very much like a massage effect. You can control the | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
depth of the water and the intensity of the amount of bubbles that are | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
there. That can help with numerous different injuries in the lower leg. | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
To help the horses recovery time. There wasn't much of this around | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
when Princess Anne Road for Britain at the 1976 Olympics. The stables | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
look the same, but the treatment of the horses has changed dramatically. | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
Chelsea Charles wants to run her own stables for dressage horses when she | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
has finished her training. After the Olympics, that was what made me want | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
to come here. When I first found out about this, I was the first person | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
to sign up to come here. So signs of some equestrian legacy just up the | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
road from Greenwich Park. I won't say I've got it straight from the | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
horses mouth... But after this, maybe I will! | :18:39. | :18:48. | |
It's stood as a decaying landmark for 30 years. Now, at last, | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
restoration work has started on Battersea Power Station. Gyles | :18:54. | :18:55. | |
Brandreth was given exclusive access as the first diggers went in. From | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
the outside Battersea Power Station looks much as it always has done. | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
Dominating the skyline on the Southbank this side Chelsea Bridge. | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
It is only when you get inside that you appreciate the scale of the | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
industrial vandalism that has taken place here. The project is expected | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
to cast a `` a cool three quarters of ?1 billion. You are the CEO of | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
the whole enterprise, what's your ambition? We want to make Battersea | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
Power Station one of London's most exciting and unique developments. | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
Building on a heritage of this fantastic building. We are out | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
sourcing the original manufacturers of light fittings, the original | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
brickworks where the bricks came from. We are doing as much quality | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
control of the heritage as we can. David Hills is a specialist heritage | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
architect. Can I? Indeed. So I've turned out all the lights in London? | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
You've just switched off Wimbledon. So this can be restored but not | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
fully workable. You're right, but we can refurbish the machine. David has | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
spent the last few months conducting a detailed survey of everything that | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
has survived here. This is an inventory of all the surviving | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
features within the power station. 500 plus items in here. Like the | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
lavatory. That's quite a special 1950s lavatory, on the office block. | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
So it's down to that kind of detail. Exactly. It is elements like this | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
which give it the character of the building. Cup `` can you come at | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
English Heritage, make sure the developers stick to their word? | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
Proposals are submitted and approved by English Heritage, they are | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
fantastically detailed. That covers the chimneys, repair to the | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
brickwork, the type of bricks used to repair. We will be working very | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
closely with all those involved to make sure that it isn't just brought | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
back to life but is brought back to life perfectly. If everything goes | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
to plan, Battersea Power Station will eventually find itself taken | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
off the English Heritage at risk register. But new cases of | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
architectural neglect are coming to light all the time, ready to take | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
the place of those buildings lucky enough to be saved. And you can see | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
more on Restoring England's Heritage tonight on BBC at 7.30pm. | :21:28. | :21:37. | |
It's the new biopic of the life of the former South African President | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
Nelson Mandela, portrayed by Londoner and Luther star Idris Elba. | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
Naomi Harris plays his wife, Winnie. The European premiere takes place in | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
Leicester Square tonight, which will be attended by the Duke and Duchess | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
of Cambridge. Our Entertainment Correspondent, Brenda Emmanus, is | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
there. It is the most highly anticipated | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
biopic of one of the most revered world leaders, and stars two | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
Londoners who had an amazing year. Idris Elba and Naomi Harris Blake | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
Nelson and Winnie Mandela. It must be great bringing the premiere here | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
to London. It feels great. London has come out for us, the Royal | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
Family has come out for us and it feels very special. It's cold as | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
well. You look amazing but you must be freezing! How would you sum up | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
the experience? Fabulous. We are just so proud of this movie. We got | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
the experience of taking it to South Africa and having their stamp of | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
approval. They've broken all kinds of box office records in South | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
Africa. Has it changed your perception of the man and that time | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
in history at all? Massively. It educated me. One of the things about | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
the film, you get an education about not only South Africa but who | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
Mandela was. We know him as the older guy but we really didn't know | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
him as the younger guy, and that is what this film achieves. Would you | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
say it has affected the roles that you will take on after this, either | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
of you? Know, as an actor we are just lucky to get work! I like to be | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
diverse in the roles I take. From Mrs Mandela to Moneypenny, are you | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
looking forward to developing that will again? Yes, that's what my next | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
rollers. It's a nice transition. I like to keep mixing it up, keep it | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
eclectic and keep challenging myself in completely different ways. But | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
Naomi wants to do a wrong come with me. `` romantic comedy with me. A | :23:37. | :23:45. | |
lot of people would like to do that with you! Is Luther going to be made | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
into a movie? You can look forward to an extended version of Luther. It | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
is an idea that everyone wants to see happen. I want to be true to the | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
fans, they've been loyal to us. The film is coming! The fans have | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
certainly been waiting for them not to come. The film is released in | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
January. Enjoy the rest of your evening. | :24:12. | :24:20. | |
Let's get a check on the weather. We've heard about the storms in the | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
north, how will it affect us, if at all? We've missed the worst of the | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
weather. We have to bear in mind that an awful lot of water is being | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
blown down the North Sea. It is surging southwards this evening. | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
That's the reason we have got lots of coastal flood warnings, all the | :24:44. | :24:51. | |
way down the east coast, across the Thames Estuary and into Kent. This | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
could be the worst tidal surge for over 60 years will stop we should be | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
taking this very seriously. In fact, the Environment Agency told us a few | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
moments ago that they will be closing the Thames barrier at 10pm | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
tonight. That is as an emergency measure to protect London. If you | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
live the other side of the Thames Barrier, then you really do need to | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
make sure you are up to date with the latest flood risk. The reason | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
for that, as you can see, high water in the Thames Estuary tonight is | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
going to be around 2am or 3am. So do not go to bed until you know exactly | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
what is going on. You can find out what the flood risks are along the | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
Essex and Kent coasts by going to the BBC weather website. You can see | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
a red banner. If you click on the one that says flood warnings, it | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
will take you to all the information that you need. Weather`wise, well, | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
it is relatively quiet. We will have clearing skies this evening. There's | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
a bit of a chill in the breeze. You wouldn't know it with Naomi Harris' | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
dress, would you? ! Even a few sleety showers running down from the | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
Midlands across Hertfordshire and into Essex. With air temperatures as | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
low as those tonight, there might be a little bit of ice in the morning. | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
Tomorrow is going to be a bright and breezy day, the winds will continue | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
to moderate, but you still need to keep an eye on the flood risk if you | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
are on that Thames Estuary coast. We have got another high water later on | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
in the day. Things really do come down as we go into the weekend, even | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
the sea, although it will be turning rather cloudy again. Bearing in mind | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
that any holes in the cloud over the weekend, we might get a bit of frost | :26:51. | :26:52. | |
and fork risk. Time for a look at the main | :26:53. | :27:05. | |
headlines. First Scotland and now the rest of the UK is being battered | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
by a powerful storm. 9,000 homes are being evacuated on the east coast | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
because of an expected tidal surge this evening. In his Autumn | :27:13. | :27:15. | |
Statement, the Chancellor confirmed that increases in the state pension | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
age are being brought forward, which will affect people now in their 40s. | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
Fuel is duty is to be frozen next year. And in London, foreign owners | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
will soon be made to pay capital gains tax on their homes in the | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
capital. It comes after criticism that foreign investors are falsely | :27:32. | :27:38. | |
inflating house prices here. We will be back later during the 10 O'Clock | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
News. Thanks for watching and do enjoy your evening. | :27:43. | :27:45. |
