:00:00. > :00:12.Tonight on BBC London, gang crime figures are down in the capital, the
:00:13. > :00:16.government claims its Josh Auty of conducting it is working, but is it
:00:17. > :00:22.enough? It means you have to look at the
:00:23. > :00:27.whole social factors around gang violence, that contribute to it.
:00:28. > :00:31.Also, questions over child protection after a win is a mother
:00:32. > :00:35.is found guilty of killing her baby son.
:00:36. > :00:38.A new stadium for QPR, but will it bring new life to this part of West
:00:39. > :00:44.London? And, meet the hockey coach who has
:00:45. > :00:58.been recognised as an Unsung Sporting Hero.
:00:59. > :01:07.Good evening, welcome. We start with news that gang crime figures have
:01:08. > :01:10.come down in the capital. The government claims its strategy of
:01:11. > :01:13.combating gang culture is working. The project was launched a year ago
:01:14. > :01:20.following the violence and disorder during the London riots in 2011. But
:01:21. > :01:23.critics say although it has taken some troublemakers off the streets,
:01:24. > :01:30.it does not tackle the root causes or solve the long`term problem.
:01:31. > :01:36.A knock on the door of suspected gang members. This raid in August
:01:37. > :01:42.one of many across the capital this year. 1180 gang members are either
:01:43. > :01:49.behind bars or have been issued with gang injunctions, as does and
:01:50. > :01:53.electric packing. On Tuesday, 400 officers burst into 21 homes in a
:01:54. > :01:59.series of dawn raids across Lambeth, Croydon and Sutton. 27 arrests. For
:02:00. > :02:03.a range of offences, including conspiracy to supply drugs, robbery
:02:04. > :02:08.and immigration offences. The Operation Trident is on the front
:02:09. > :02:16.line of the government's war on gang maniacally. But so is tackling the
:02:17. > :02:22.issue from grassroots level. A Home Office minister visits this man. A
:02:23. > :02:26.charity tries to reach out to teenagers caught up in crime and
:02:27. > :02:31.violent. And change their lives. The government is funding projects like
:02:32. > :02:36.this. My hunch is that this sort of approach is going to be far more
:02:37. > :02:42.effective in getting them to turn around and each additional method
:02:43. > :02:46.might have been. The government initiative has focused on 33 areas
:02:47. > :02:52.across England, where gang crime is a major area. 20 are in Greater
:02:53. > :02:55.London. Ministers and the police claim it is working, with figures
:02:56. > :03:02.showing a fall in knife related crime and attempted murder in the
:03:03. > :03:05.targeted areas. A Home Office report highlights nearly ?8 million in
:03:06. > :03:10.government funding has been given to community projects. They are helping
:03:11. > :03:17.the police crackdown, with new offences of threatening with a
:03:18. > :03:21.knife, tougher sentences for the sale and transfer of illegal guns
:03:22. > :03:26.and the introduction of gang member injunctions. The falling crime
:03:27. > :03:32.cannot be attributed to the programme, it was launched in the
:03:33. > :03:39.wake of the London riots. Even before these scenes, gang`related
:03:40. > :03:44.crime is falling. The issue is how bored and deep the interventions are
:03:45. > :03:50.in these activities. Whilst the fall in crime is welcome, there is
:03:51. > :03:54.enormous work still to be done. One of the most interesting elements of
:03:55. > :04:01.the report is the title, ending gang and youth violence. Really? Can you
:04:02. > :04:04.really ended? This is state in Hackney is one of the hotspots
:04:05. > :04:06.targeted by the government it is one of the hot spots targeted by the
:04:07. > :04:11.government issued if. This man speaks the same language as gang
:04:12. > :04:14.members. He used to be one. Now he runs a charity helpline that offers
:04:15. > :04:21.advice for a way out. A lack of hope, despair, that education, bad
:04:22. > :04:26.housing, broken families, missing fathers, I can go on, because there
:04:27. > :04:30.are a lot of factors that contributed gangs. We really talking
:04:31. > :04:35.about gangs or are we talking about a broken society? Gang related crime
:04:36. > :04:41.might be falling, but it is a stubborn issue. Banks have and will
:04:42. > :04:46.plague our city, but for now, charities welcomed the issue being
:04:47. > :04:53.firmly on the government's agenda. Coming up later, a new wave of
:04:54. > :05:03.strikes as firefighters walk out in an ongoing row over pensions.
:05:04. > :05:08.There are questions tonight about child protection at a Berkshire
:05:09. > :05:14.Council after a mother was found guilty of murdering her baby son.
:05:15. > :05:18.Emma Wilson beat 11`month`old Callum to death, weeks after he was
:05:19. > :05:23.returned to her care from foster parents. The family was known to
:05:24. > :05:31.children services. The council said tonight a serious case review is
:05:32. > :05:35.under way. He was fostered at birth, his mother
:05:36. > :05:40.wanted him adopted, but seven months later, she changed her mind. In
:05:41. > :05:44.November 2010, he was reunited with her at her flat on this housing
:05:45. > :05:48.estate in Windsor. Four months later, he was dead. Among the
:05:49. > :05:53.questions being asked, was at the right decision to return him and
:05:54. > :05:56.forced the correct follow`up and monitoring done by those involved?
:05:57. > :06:02.His mother brought him out, including two this children's
:06:03. > :06:08.centre. But she told people here he was her cousin's baby, and when some
:06:09. > :06:12.pointed out scratches, she said they had been caused by a sister who did
:06:13. > :06:16.not exist. The review has been looking at staffing levels at this
:06:17. > :06:21.children's Centre and whether the staff were qualified and
:06:22. > :06:24.experienced. It has been examining how staff and parents apparently
:06:25. > :06:30.noticed bruising on the toddler on as many as three occasions prior to
:06:31. > :06:35.his death, yet no referral was made to children's services. One parent
:06:36. > :06:41.told us the staff here, who have now left, did alert social workers. Over
:06:42. > :06:46.the past two years and more, the local council has been worrying
:06:47. > :06:52.where the blame might be laid. The Royal Borough of Windsor and made
:06:53. > :06:57.its well`known as being one of a handful of so`called Vanguard
:06:58. > :07:01.authorities, chosen to promote David Cameron's Big Society agenda. It
:07:02. > :07:08.also has another reputation, in the year before this child death, it had
:07:09. > :07:12.reduced its council tax by 4%, at that time a record anywhere in the
:07:13. > :07:16.country, which showed how willingly it was prepared to embrace times of
:07:17. > :07:23.austerity. Could cost cutting have been a factor? We like to call them
:07:24. > :07:29.efficiencies. Weeks before Callum's death, we filmed the council leader
:07:30. > :07:34.as they prepared their latest budget. They made savings of ?2.5
:07:35. > :07:43.million to children's services, but part one `` but put 1 million back
:07:44. > :07:47.into child protection. This independent councillor believes the
:07:48. > :07:50.pressure to save money may have preoccupied senior managers at the
:07:51. > :07:55.expense of the quality of the service. It has got to impact on
:07:56. > :07:59.services, because you have got a management team that are focused on
:08:00. > :08:04.providing savings, and that time they are taking on trying to
:08:05. > :08:10.identify savings to make is time they are not spent running the
:08:11. > :08:14.service that they are supposed to be running. A number of social workers
:08:15. > :08:20.left the council after their allowances were cut. The borough,
:08:21. > :08:25.with the cost`cutting reputation, ended up paying more for agency
:08:26. > :08:28.staff. The leadership will prepare for the findings and publication of
:08:29. > :08:36.the serious case review into Callum Wilson.
:08:37. > :08:41.In a statement, the Royal Borough sake, we are deeply saddened by the
:08:42. > :08:47.tragic death of Little Callum, and Alyson Duffy is with those who loved
:08:48. > :08:50.and cared for him. As with all serious cases of this nature, an
:08:51. > :08:55.independent review has been taken and a final report will be shared
:08:56. > :09:01.early in 2014. It would be inappropriate for us to comment
:09:02. > :09:04.until it is published. It is the regeneration of an area of
:09:05. > :09:11.west London that could rival Kings Cross St Pancras, according to the
:09:12. > :09:18.mayor. The proposals for a `` old oak, and include a new stadium for
:09:19. > :09:24.QPR and a transport hub for HS2. It is hoped it will create up to 24,000
:09:25. > :09:29.homes and 50,000 jobs. But some are concerned about the impact on the
:09:30. > :09:32.local area. If you want to be a Premier League
:09:33. > :09:42.club, the business model that hates you need a big round. Loftus Road is
:09:43. > :09:47.too small. Today, they proposed a new 40,000 seat stadium in the old
:09:48. > :09:54.oak area of West London. If the club wants to push on and the competing
:09:55. > :09:59.with the big clubs, you need a stadium. It is impossible to make
:10:00. > :10:06.18,000 people paid. We are really pleased with the political support
:10:07. > :10:10.we have, but today is the first step in the right direction. It is just
:10:11. > :10:17.north of Wormwood Scrubs prison. The site is currently occupied by motor
:10:18. > :10:20.dealers. This would not just be a home for QPR, this is the proposed
:10:21. > :10:27.area where the main hub station for HS2 would be. If crossrail to get a
:10:28. > :10:33.green light, it could come through as well. It adds up to thousands of
:10:34. > :10:35.new homes and new jobs. The mayor said QPR's proposals could prove to
:10:36. > :10:48.be a real shot in the arm... We have a major football club,
:10:49. > :10:52.hopefully they will be back in the Premier League, as part of the
:10:53. > :10:57.different, it brings people, when people come, they spend money, and
:10:58. > :11:02.businesses want to open, creating jobs, and creating somewhere that is
:11:03. > :11:08.economically viable and growing. Not everyone is so convinced. I am
:11:09. > :11:12.worried that local residents, fans and businesses have not been
:11:13. > :11:16.consulted, and if this is a development of Singapore style
:11:17. > :11:22.luxury blocks, not local homes for local people, I would be worried.
:11:23. > :11:25.There seems to be a disregard for giving any information for the
:11:26. > :11:31.people who live here. Instead of having open skies, we will have
:11:32. > :11:35.Canary Wharf meets Manhattan. The proposals are years away from coming
:11:36. > :11:39.to fruition, and it is likely that QPR's investment will only be
:11:40. > :11:45.guaranteed if HS2 becomes a reality.
:11:46. > :11:49.In the last hour, London firefighters have gone on strike.
:11:50. > :11:54.Members of the Fire Brigades Union have forked out for four hours in an
:11:55. > :12:03.ongoing row over pensions. It is the fifth strike in three months. Why is
:12:04. > :12:06.the dispute ongoing? It is a dispute between the union and the
:12:07. > :12:09.government, it comes down to this, did you think that a 60`year`old
:12:10. > :12:15.firefighter will be able to save you? The union do not think so, the
:12:16. > :12:20.government does. That is why these people are on the picket line. That
:12:21. > :12:25.are on the picket line between 6pm and 10pm, only a skeleton staff is
:12:26. > :12:32.covering London. The firefighters are convinced these changes would
:12:33. > :12:36.lead to a cut. I asked if this could be resolved.
:12:37. > :12:40.It is inevitable because people continue unless the government moves
:12:41. > :12:44.on the central issue, and increase in the retirement age to 60. Most
:12:45. > :12:49.people realise that firefighting is a physically arduous, challenging
:12:50. > :12:55.job, and the idea of having large numbers of people in their late 50s,
:12:56. > :12:59.60, tearing around London and Britain, pulling people out of
:13:00. > :13:03.burning buildings, is insane, and these strikes will continue.
:13:04. > :13:08.What is the government saying? The Prime Minister says he is
:13:09. > :13:13.disappointed that the union has decided to take strike action. He
:13:14. > :13:16.said he thinks firefighters have some of the most generous pensions
:13:17. > :13:22.in the public sector. The Fire Commissioner said that he thinks
:13:23. > :13:29.that people should think about having a cab out, rather than
:13:30. > :13:34.cooking, to reduce the risk of a fire in their homes. There will be
:13:35. > :13:41.another picket tomorrow. A mother from Hendon says she is
:13:42. > :13:43.desperate for news of her two eldest children, who she says have
:13:44. > :13:48.disappeared with their father in Russia. It is after a Russian court
:13:49. > :13:56.made a ruling three weeks ago that Rachael Neustadt's ex`husband must
:13:57. > :14:02.return their children in the UK. It is over three weeks now and
:14:03. > :14:07.Rachael Neustadt has no idea what has happened to two of her children.
:14:08. > :14:13.Last month, she won a ruling from a Moscow court for her ex`husband to
:14:14. > :14:15.return them. I am completely in the dark, I do not know how they are,
:14:16. > :14:32.where they are, I am really worried. I am really concerned about their
:14:33. > :14:37.welfare. In December, she allowed her ex`husband to take the two
:14:38. > :14:42.eldest on what was supposed to be a two`week holiday to Russia. They
:14:43. > :14:47.never came back. Daniel and Jonathan used to attend a local primary
:14:48. > :14:50.school in north`west London. Their father has been repeatedly ordered
:14:51. > :14:55.by the UK's High Court to return them. In November, finally, a
:14:56. > :15:05.Russian court told him to hand them back. He was in contempt of the
:15:06. > :15:13.English system, and now his actions are in contempt of the orders that
:15:14. > :15:18.were made in Russia as well. I do not think that he cares that he is
:15:19. > :15:24.breaking the law. He is missing, as are the two young boys. His phone is
:15:25. > :15:34.off, apparently, Russian bailiffs are looking for him. He is on
:15:35. > :15:41.Interpol's alert list. Still to come tonight: We need a hockey coach who
:15:42. > :15:53.has been recognised as a BBC London unsung sporting hero.
:15:54. > :15:57.The Mayor's bike hire scheme was extended today to south`west London.
:15:58. > :15:59.Up to 150 docking stations have been installed in Wandsworth and
:16:00. > :16:02.Hammersmith Fulham. The launch comes days after Barclays announced
:16:03. > :16:05.it will not be renewing its sponsorship of the scheme after
:16:06. > :16:07.2015. Here's our transport correspondent, Tom Edwards.
:16:08. > :16:11.The Mayor's flagship bike hire scheme today just got bigger. 2000
:16:12. > :16:17.more bikes, and 150 new docking stations, as it moved into
:16:18. > :16:21.Wandsworth and Hammersmith. A lot of people do cycle round here, so it
:16:22. > :16:24.could be popular. It's brilliant. It should be everywhere. Why aren't
:16:25. > :16:27.they in Brixton? I live in Brixton. Although there have been over 7.5
:16:28. > :16:31.million trips this year, user numbers are down. This expansion
:16:32. > :16:36.comes days after it was revealed the main sponsor would be pulling out in
:16:37. > :16:40.2015. The numbers have been going down. Is
:16:41. > :16:44.that a concern? Not at all. I think we had a great year last year,
:16:45. > :16:47.because we have the Olympics and the Jubilee. Obviously, we've had to
:16:48. > :16:59.change the fare package and the pricing. But it is getting 660,000
:17:00. > :17:01.users a month. Wandsworth and Hammersmith Councils both
:17:02. > :17:04.contributed ?2 million, from planning cash and transport funds
:17:05. > :17:09.respectively, to help pay for the expansion. We have one of the
:17:10. > :17:15.youngest populations anywhere in Europe. From Wandsworth's
:17:16. > :17:18.perspective, it is perfect for it. Hammersmith Fulham is a very
:17:19. > :17:22.congested borough, and it is very difficult to get around, whether by
:17:23. > :17:25.bus or car, and these bikes are going to be really, really useful.
:17:26. > :17:30.Now, though, if the hire scheme expands further, TfL is looking at
:17:31. > :17:34.other ways to try and pay for it. We are not planning any other
:17:35. > :17:38.TfL`funded cycle hire expansion. What we'd like to do now is for
:17:39. > :17:42.business and for the boroughs to come together and tell us where they
:17:43. > :17:45.would like these schemes to be. Let's see if we can get a plan
:17:46. > :17:48.together, perhaps out of sponsorship, and also funds from
:17:49. > :17:52.elsewhere, to see what we can do to expand the cycle hire scheme in
:17:53. > :17:55.places where people with you want it. Elsewhere, the Department for
:17:56. > :17:58.Transport is now allowing trials of lower lights for cyclist at the
:17:59. > :18:10.notorious Bow roundabout. 11 sites will follow. All part of efforts to
:18:11. > :18:13.try and make London's streets safer. Let's turn to sport, and Chris Slegg
:18:14. > :18:16.has the round`up ` starting with football.
:18:17. > :18:19.Thanks. It's been a decent week in Europe for our football clubs, with
:18:20. > :18:22.Chelsea and Arsenal into the Champions League last 16 and
:18:23. > :18:24.Tottenham through to the Europa League knockout stages. Tomorrow
:18:25. > :18:27.it's back to the Premier League. Arsene Wenger's Arsenal get the
:18:28. > :18:31.action under way at lunchtime. They're away to Manchester City. The
:18:32. > :18:35.Gunners are five points clear at the top of the table, six points clear
:18:36. > :18:39.of big spending City in fourth, but this is seen as the sternest test so
:18:40. > :18:43.far to their title challenge. We believe in ourselves anyway, no
:18:44. > :18:47.matter what happens. Let's not forget as well that if you are in
:18:48. > :18:53.City's position, if they lose, they are nine points behind. So they have
:18:54. > :18:58.more negative pressure than we have. We have positive pressure, but we
:18:59. > :19:01.can make a big difference with them. Arsenal are going so well in the
:19:02. > :19:04.League right now. Elsewhere, plenty at stake for all our Premier League
:19:05. > :19:10.teams this weekend. There's a London derby at Stamford Bridge, as Chelsea
:19:11. > :19:15.host Crystal Palace. Palace's fellow strugglers Fulham travel to Everton.
:19:16. > :19:19.West Ham, who are just above the relegation zone, take on bottom club
:19:20. > :19:21.Sunderland. On Sunday, Spurs hope to get their Champions League bid
:19:22. > :19:27.firmly back on track against Liverpool.
:19:28. > :19:32.Also on Sunday, the 60th BBC Sports Personality of the Year will be
:19:33. > :19:36.crowned. Of the ten names on the short list, two Londoners are in the
:19:37. > :19:39.running. Two Londoners who are rather good at running. Mo Farah,
:19:40. > :19:42.who followed up his London 2012 success by winning the 10,000 and
:19:43. > :19:46.5000 metres in Moscow this summer, to become only the second man to win
:19:47. > :19:49.both titles at both the Olympics and World Championships. And Newham's
:19:50. > :19:53.Christine Ohuruogu, who won the 400 metres in Moscow ` just ` to become
:19:54. > :19:56.the first British woman to take gold at two World Championships. They of
:19:57. > :20:00.course face fierce competition from the likes of Andy Murray and AP
:20:01. > :20:08.McCoy. The full short list of all ten contenders is on the BBC Sport
:20:09. > :20:12.website. We'll also find out the winner of
:20:13. > :20:17.the Young Sports Personality of the Year. Three names are on the
:20:18. > :20:20.short`list, two of them from our neck of the woods. Amber Hill, the
:20:21. > :20:23.16`year`old from Bracknell who is already a World record holder in
:20:24. > :20:26.shooting. And Blackheath and Bromley Harriers' Dina Asher`Smith, who was
:20:27. > :20:28.part of the 4x100m bronze medal`winning relay squad at the
:20:29. > :20:31.World Championships. It's not all about those competing
:20:32. > :20:34.at the top level of their sport though. In recent weeks, we've been
:20:35. > :20:40.asking you to nominate London's Unsung Sporting Hero, and now BBC
:20:41. > :20:43.London has a winner. Many of these youngsters in
:20:44. > :20:46.north`east London might never have given hockey a go if it wasn't for
:20:47. > :20:52.the efforts of volunteer coach Matt Lovell. Waltham Forest Hockey Club
:20:53. > :20:57.is, say regulars like Susie Martin, a place transformed since Matt
:20:58. > :21:00.arrived. Matt has been volunteering at Waltham Forest Hockey Club for
:21:01. > :21:06.over eight years now. He started the youth section here, and it started
:21:07. > :21:11.with two or three kids coming along. Now we've got over 150, and at least
:21:12. > :21:15.50 or 60 turning up every week. Matt dedicates at least 30 hours a week
:21:16. > :21:19.to the club, and he has persuaded 14 others to give up their time as
:21:20. > :21:24.coaches. If you meet Matt, he's very determined, and he literally doesn't
:21:25. > :21:27.give up. If you come along and speak to him for more than a couple of
:21:28. > :21:31.minutes, he will probably have roped you into something. It's not just
:21:32. > :21:34.the youngsters that Matt has inspired, but people like Alistair,
:21:35. > :21:38.who found hockey a little later in life. I only started playing hockey
:21:39. > :21:42.about two years ago, and I have loved the way that it is a really,
:21:43. > :21:46.really friendly club, and Matt plays his role in that. I think Matt is an
:21:47. > :21:51.Unsung Hero because he puts in phenomenal hours, working with the
:21:52. > :21:55.kids at the club here. We have not been entirely honest with Matt. We
:21:56. > :21:58.told him we were here to film a feature about the sport, but we are
:21:59. > :22:04.actually going to give him this. Because he is BBC London's Unsung
:22:05. > :22:08.Hero 2013. Matt, we would like to present you with this award.
:22:09. > :22:13.THEY CHEER. Thanks! He does jokes with us
:22:14. > :22:18.sometimes. He's not really that moody. He doesn't ever shout. He
:22:19. > :22:22.makes it so much fun. It makes it easier for us. He always wants us to
:22:23. > :22:25.get it right and wants us to do good. The fact that it has been
:22:26. > :22:29.recognised is amazing, because hopefully it means I can rope more
:22:30. > :22:33.people in and convince more people to give up their time. Matt Lovell
:22:34. > :22:42.is BBC London Sport's Unsung Hero for 2013.
:22:43. > :22:50.Well done, and thanks to everyone who nominated their sporting unsung
:22:51. > :22:56.hero. That's all the sport. New next, the new play about the man
:22:57. > :23:02.responsible for making a huge decision, where to draw the border
:23:03. > :23:06.between India and Pakistani. He had just six weeks to make the
:23:07. > :23:12.decision, which resulted in people being displaced.
:23:13. > :23:19.We will move the border 100 yards south. The story of partition is one
:23:20. > :23:22.many people know. Border created to split India and Pakistan into two
:23:23. > :23:33.separate Haitians, after independence was one in 1947. `` two
:23:34. > :23:36.separate nations. For the first time, a you play seen here in
:23:37. > :23:46.rehearsals is to take a look at several at Cliff, the judge sent to
:23:47. > :23:53.draw the line. `` Cyril Ramaphosa. He believes in fairness. When he is
:23:54. > :23:58.catapulted into this extraordinary situation of having to draw the
:23:59. > :24:03.line, the partition in the subcontinent in such a ridiculously
:24:04. > :24:08.short timescale, he wants to do the right thing. He wants to do it
:24:09. > :24:13.right. Cyril Radcliffe had six weeks to make his decision, but he had
:24:14. > :24:19.never been to India before, had no knowledge of the culture or his
:24:20. > :24:25.people, and knew nothing of maps. I have been sent to do a job. He had
:24:26. > :24:30.been chosen by the Prime Minister, who wanted to speed up Britain's
:24:31. > :24:37.exit from India. Although he met with key political figures, such as
:24:38. > :24:42.Gandhi, he made the final call. The results are upwards of 1 million
:24:43. > :24:47.people who die in riots and cross`border fighting, leaving more
:24:48. > :24:51.than 10 million people displaced. Cyril Radcliffe never returned to
:24:52. > :25:02.India. 60 years on, his legacy continues to haunt the region.
:25:03. > :25:09.It is Friday evening. How is the weekend whether looking?
:25:10. > :25:16.Not quite as bad as it has been looking. It looks as though we will
:25:17. > :25:22.go all the way to Christmas with this weather. Mild and breezy is how
:25:23. > :25:27.best to describe it. Saturday should be the sunnier of the two days.
:25:28. > :25:31.Sunday will be cloudy. At the moment, there is some rain around.
:25:32. > :25:36.Some of it is quite heavy, but it should be clearing away from the
:25:37. > :25:44.Thames Street at about 9pm. Then the skies were clear, and as the breeze
:25:45. > :25:48.eases, it will get quite chilly. Not quite as chilly as early in the
:25:49. > :25:54.week, but he and there, it could be cold enough for a touch of frost on
:25:55. > :25:59.the grass. A sunny start to the weekend on Saturday. The freshening
:26:00. > :26:03.breeze will blow more and more cloud across as, so it does look as though
:26:04. > :26:07.it will be quite cloudy in the afternoon. Having said that,
:26:08. > :26:14.temperatures will get into double figures for most of us. As that wind
:26:15. > :26:18.continues to strengthen, it will eventually blow some rain our way on
:26:19. > :26:22.Saturday night. As you will see in a moment, some of that rain will be
:26:23. > :26:26.quite heavy. Keep an eye on the numbers inside the arrows, because
:26:27. > :26:29.you will see that the steady winds will be round about 20 miles an
:26:30. > :26:34.hour. It should push that rain through quite briskly. By Sunday
:26:35. > :26:39.morning, most of the rain should be out of the way, and the cloud will
:26:40. > :26:45.be breaking up quite nicely. It won't be quite as sunny as Saturday.
:26:46. > :26:50.In the afternoon, we can expect some outbreaks of rain. The breezy
:26:51. > :26:56.weather still with us. Some rain, but not all the time. With that
:26:57. > :27:00.breeze, some good news for kite flying dog. I think that one there
:27:01. > :27:08.is going to be very pleased with the weather!
:27:09. > :27:11.Thanks very much indeed. A quick reminder of the day's headlines.
:27:12. > :27:14.The Government's been accused of turning its back on Syria's refugees
:27:15. > :27:18.by not offering any a safe haven here. It comes as hundreds of
:27:19. > :27:21.thousands are forced to live in tents in sub zero temperatures,
:27:22. > :27:27.three years after the civil war began.
:27:28. > :27:30.After the execution of North Korea's second most powerful figure, there
:27:31. > :27:33.are fears about the stability of the secretive communist state.
:27:34. > :27:36.New figures from the Government show that gang crime is down, but there
:27:37. > :27:39.are concerns the roots causes of gang culture in London isn't being
:27:40. > :27:45.tackled. That's it. We will be back with our
:27:46. > :27:46.late news later. Have a great weekend.
