all from us. Now we join our news teams where | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Tonight, we live in Woolwich on the day that two men who grew up in | :00:07. | :00:13. | |
London are found guilty of the murder of soldier Lee Rigby. We talk | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
to the people who knew the killers and reveal their disturbing past. | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
His friend got stabbed and that was fatal. He was stabbed. We look at | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
the effect the killing has had on the people of the area. Also, the | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
Met apologises after this man, arrested for rape, was released and | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
went on to rape again. Plus, how some property developers are | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
avoiding building affordable homes in prime locations by handing over | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
cash to councils. And policing through a lens. Why the mayor wants | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
officers to where cameras at all times. | :00:52. | :01:03. | |
Good evening. It was a murder that shocked the capital stock and today, | :01:04. | :01:11. | |
two men who grew up in London were convicted of the murder of Lee Rigby | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
in cold blood in Woolwich. We hear from people who knew the killers and | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
talk to the local community, seven months after the horrific crime that | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
happened their doorstep. Our reporter is in Woolwich this | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
evening. Good evening. This is where Fusilier | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
Lee Rigby was coming to before he was so brutally hacked to death and | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
murdered just around the corner from here. It is where his killers | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
attacked him, but now his killers have been convicted of murder at the | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
Old Bailey today. Michael Adam Walley and Michael Adebolajo. As far | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
as verdict go, this one doesn't ring up any surprises. We've all seen the | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
video footage of Michael Adebolajo with blood on his hands, holding a | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
machete and spouting his message of hate. He admitted to the killing in | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
court last week and admitted the killing two police officers when he | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
was arrested. But what about his accomplice? 22 years old, very | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
little is known about him. He didn't take the chance in court to defend | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
himself and speak. That is why our home affairs correspondent went out | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
to find out what he could about the 22`year`old. He managed to track | :02:23. | :02:40. | |
somebody down who knew him. Michael Adebowale was being `` was the | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
youngest of the two men. According to his lawyer, he believed he was a | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
soldier on a operation. Much more is known about Michael Adebolajo. Very | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
little about Michael Adebowale until now. He was just a young teenager | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
trying to fit in. The three years, Jennifer Blake took Adebowale under | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
her wing. She was a support worker and was trying to divert him away | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
from the life of crime. He was known to be hanging around with gangs The | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
usual robberies, phone robberies, selling drugs. She says the | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
22`year`old, from Greenwich, was the quiet one, humble and easily | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
influenced. A shocking contrast to the person she saw on television | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
after the killing of this young British soldier. Lee Rigby was | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
literally butchered in broad daylight in a south`E. London St. We | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
know that in 2008, Adebowale was himself, along with two friends a | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
victim of a knife attack in a crack house. His friend was murdered. | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
According to his former support worker, it may have been a turning | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
point. One of his friends got stabbed, that was fatal. He was | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
stabbed. He literally said that he just had to lay there like he was | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
dead. He went under the body of his friend who was dead. At that age are | :04:07. | :04:16. | |
so vulnerable. Both men were brought up as Christians. Their parents | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
originally from Nigeria. How they met or indeed when or who | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
radicalised them is unclear, but Jennifer Blake believes Adebowale | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
might have converted to Islam while in prison for drugs offences. When | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
he came out of prison, I can say there was a slight change in him. He | :04:34. | :04:41. | |
seemed slightly bolder than he was. For most people, turning to religion | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
would be a positive, life changing experience. But Jason Thomas it was. | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
When younger, he also was involved in gang crime. Like Adebowale, he | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
ended up in jail and converted to Islam. He believes some prisoners | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
are targeted by extremists. You become numb to violence after a | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
while. So if you can just get this guy from robbing and stealing for | :05:07. | :05:15. | |
his own material needs... Then, yeah, it's easy, his accustomed to | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
violence already. Harry Fletcher is an expert in criminal just, spending | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
more than three decades as a probation officer. He explains the | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
dangers some gang members face. The gang members are scared, that's one | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
of the reasons they are in gangs, for protection. They also are | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
predominantly black in South London boroughs. Extremists are able to | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
exploit their socio` economic situation. How many times have been | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
been picked up by police, what is your attitude to authority, do you | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
feel you are discriminated against, are you getting good job | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
opportunities, how was your school, what kind of the state do you live | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
in? Lots of things to exploit. Did you see anything in him that would | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
give you any inkling that he could resort to such violence? Know, and I | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
work with so many young people. I could look at another individual and | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
say, yeah, you do you know what I could see he would have done | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
something like that or is capable of doing something like that but | :06:21. | :06:21. | |
Michael, no. Let's now concentrate on Michael | :06:22. | :06:33. | |
Adebolajo, the murderer who we saw speaking to witnesses with blood on | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
his hands, directly after he murdered Lee Rigby. He is somebody | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
who used his time at the Old Bailey last week to talk about his support | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
for Al`Qaeda and love for what he called his brothers and Al`Qaeda. He | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
is not afraid of expressing his views and opinions openly, and that | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
is exactly what he did in this area just days before he murdered Lee | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
Rigby. A short distance from here is the Linden community Hall, a hall | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
which I personally know very well. Nine days before the attack took | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
place, Michael Adebolajo was there, speaking about jihad openly. Our | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
reporter spoke to somebody who discussed the subject of Joe Hart | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
and Michael Adebolajo's views with him, shortly before the attack took | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
place here. This is Michael Adebolajo at a protest in London, | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
held by radical Muslim group. He was vocal in his belief that Western | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
nations were repressing Muslims Just over a week before Michael | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
Adebolajo killed Lee Rigby on a Woolwich Street, he was preaching | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
outside this community centre, after Friday prayers there. Abdullah, who | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
lives nearby, and is a Muslim convert, overheard him talking about | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
the conflict in Syria and jihad We've agreed to disguise his | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
identity. He said as long as there are disbelievers we can kill them. | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
It disturbed me. The killing of innocent people. And affiliated all | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
of this with Islam, so much so that I stood there and spoke to this man | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
Fanelli three hours. Everything every single point, I refused him, | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
or at least put doubt in his mind. It was only when Michael Adebolajo | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
went on to commit murder that Abdullah realised the true | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
significance of some of the things he had said. We were speaking about | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
the killing of soldiers or the army, we don't need to go there. Their | :08:31. | :08:40. | |
boys are here. Their boys are here. At that point I didn't have a clue | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
what he was talking about. One of his last words he said to me was, if | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
I don't see you now, God willing, I will see you in the next life. At | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
the time Abdullah considered going to be police, but he didn't even | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
know Michael Adebolajo's real name. He spoke to a friend who advised him | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
not to. He said, leave it. When you see him again, speak to him again. | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
The next time I saw him was on the TV. When I seen him, I nearly | :09:10. | :09:18. | |
fainted. We are innocent, believe me. Michael Adebolajo was previously | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
arrested in Kenya, allegedly trying to join terrorists in Somalia. | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
Abdullah himself fought in Bosnia in the 1990s, part of a jihad against | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
Serbian forces who were killing Muslim civilians. But he says that | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
you had he was involved in is completely different to Michael | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
Adebolajo's actions. There's no comparison whatsoever. What we'd | :09:42. | :09:49. | |
done and what we understood there, it was correct. As a matter of fact, | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
the government were all for it. The incident in Woolwich took an | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
emotional toll on Abdullah, wondering if there was anything more | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
he could have done to prevent the attack. I couldn't sleep at night. I | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
wasn't having nightmares, it was like... If I was to ponder and think | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
and continue pondering and thinking deeper, I would probably end up in a | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
mental institution. Abdullah says he now plans working to ensure other | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
British Muslims don't end up on the same as Michael Adebolajo. | :10:22. | :10:30. | |
The picture slowly building up of the two murderers. Joining me now is | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
an imam in London. At the time of the attack you condemned them very | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
vocally with what happened here It cost you a death threat from the | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
terrorist organisation Al`Shabab. Do you still stand by your condemnation | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
of the attack? Indeed. Justice has been served. These murderers should | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
be locked up for good. They've not done it in the name of Islam, they | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
haven't done it for me and certainly no Muslim would support it. They are | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
deranged, completely lunatic as far as I am concerned. I will scream | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
from the rooftops saying they are, they should never be tolerated in a | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
civilised society. You have not been frightened of the death threats that | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
have come your way. You'll know it's made me mope `` more bold. I | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
want to go out and say that Islam is a moderate religion. Where is God in | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
murder. Most importantly, where is Islam in murder? Nowhere. These | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
people are nothing to do with Islam. If what you say is true, why are we | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
seeing young people radicalised by Tia in London, causing death and | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
bringing jihad to London? Tiller these young people you are talking | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
about a very small in number. We need to deal with them. But our | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
jihad should be about creating equality in our society, fighting | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
against poverty, drugs abuse, etc. Let's shift their focus. Let's get | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
them socially responsible and engaged in politics. That's the | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
problem with many young people, they don't have role models, they don't | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
have things to do. If we invest in them in our schools in the future, | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
things will become better. That is it for the moment. Join me later, | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
because I will be bringing you a very personal perspective of what | :12:17. | :12:18. | |
has happened here in Woolwich. It's an area I grew up in and it's an | :12:19. | :12:27. | |
area where I am still local. Turning to the rest of the news now. The | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
Metropolitan Police has apologised to a woman who was raped in south | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
London, saying her ordeal might have been prevented if they had acted | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
earlier. The victim was assaulted in a graveyard in Orpington by a man | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
who had carried out a similar attack in the same place almost two years | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
before. Police began investigating this rapist two years earlier. Yes, | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
on the night of the 30th of September 2011, James Isted, 27 | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
years old, hit a 17`year`old woman across the back of her head, drugs | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
into the graveyard of the Church in Orpington, where she suffers a | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
prolonged rape and is robbed. On the 4th of October he is arrested. | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
Nearly a year later he is released on bail due to lack of evidence | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
Then on the 7th of May this year, he targets a 27`year`old woman, | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
threatening her with a knife, dragging her into the same graveyard | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
where she is raped. It is 1:30pm, so there are eyewitnesses. They called | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
the police, they disturbed James Isted and arrested him nearby. We | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
cannot comprehend what these two women have gone through. Both had to | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
relive their ordeal because he pleaded not guilty. The second | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
victim now knows her rape could have been prevented. What has the Met | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
said about this? They have issued a statement saying that the | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
Metropolitan Police acknowledges that in this case we have made | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
mistakes and have apologised to the victim of the second offence. At | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
certain actions being taken earlier, a second offence may have been | :13:59. | :14:15. | |
prevented. An internal investigation continues. Looking at the wider | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
issue here, we know that severe police failings allowed two serial | :14:19. | :14:20. | |
rapist, John Warboys and Kirk Green, to strike. Is the Orpington case an | :14:21. | :14:22. | |
isolated failure or another example of a systemic problem? | :14:23. | :14:33. | |
How some developers in London or avoiding building in prime locations | :14:34. | :14:41. | |
by handing money over to councils. A Freedome Of Information enquiry for | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
BBC London has revealed in the last two years there has been a big leap | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
in the money developers are paying councils to exempt them from these | :14:52. | :15:00. | |
obligations. Developers can chuck tonnes of | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
money. This is what developers present to the council to say we | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
can't afford this. This community activist keeps his best to keep tabs | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
on the buildings springing up along the South bank. Like this one, there | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
will be 269 Apartments, but none will be affordable. Instead, | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
developers have promised ?29 million to the local council to use for | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
cheaper housing elsewhere. We fought for 40 years to have a mixed | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
environment community, the people to live, work and play here. We need | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
affordable housing. In Bermondsey, we are showing where Southwark is | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
spending some of the money. Here, they can build more affordable | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
homes. We have 20,000 people on our waiting list. Waiting for a long | :15:52. | :15:59. | |
time for an affordable home. The reality is we can build to council | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
homes for everyone home we would have in a prime development. There | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
has been a sharp rise in so`called commuted payments, according to | :16:09. | :16:16. | |
research. Between 2008 and 2011 London councils received ?75 | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
million. In the last two years, that has risen to ?132 million. That is | :16:21. | :16:28. | |
leading to gentrification. In central London, there are not as | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
many affordable homes. Westminster Council has received ?60 million | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
over the last five years. Some parts of this city have high land values | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
and it wouldn't work for developers to put houses there. I can get more | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
for my money by putting houses somewhere where land value is | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
cheaper. Now, it is the only game in town, and a tale of two cities | :16:54. | :17:06. | |
further apart. 100 cyclists took part in a protest | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
outside Boxall tube station demanding safety. The council says | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
it does plan to build more segregated lanes. | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
The London Mayor is calling for the trial of cameras on police officers | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
to be rolled out across London. Sutton is the first bar in the | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
council to test the scheme where officers on the beat where small | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
cameras to tackle anti`social behaviour and record responses to | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
instances of domestic violence. The start of a shift at Sutton | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
police station. Part of the kit now is a camera which records pictures | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
and sound. They have been on trial in Sutton. Today, Boris Johnson paid | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
a visit. He said he would like them to be issued across London. I think | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
it is massively beneficial for the criminal justice system to have | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
real`time evidence about what has actually happened. This is the | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
camera working now, in Sutton. The picture is very clear. These are | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
pictures from a police officer searching for drugs. And it has | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
other uses. With disorder in the town centre where police officers | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
have cameras and people have instantly looked at the fact we are | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
filming but they are doing, they have modified their behaviour. One | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
campaigning group says the spread of such cameras would need to be | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
carefully monitored. There is setting the argument that there to | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
be cameras when it is really depressing, a right case, but what | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
we don't want is every police officer having cameras rolling | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
constantly. They are not walking around with the camera on all the | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
time. They tell it on for specific purposes. When an incident happens | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
in the street, these days, six people will have their phones out | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
straightaway recording it. This is one other phone recording it, the | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
police have their own record. And issue may be the cost of around ?500 | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
per camera. It wider trial across London is now likely. | :19:22. | :19:31. | |
Returning to our top story. And two men have been found guilty | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
of murdering the soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich in May. Let's once again | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
join our reporter, Asad Ahmad. In the 17 years I have worked here, | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
I have been lucky enough to report from all over London, Britain and | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
around the world. I have never reported on a story which has been | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
so hard to cover personally than this one. This murder took place on | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
my doorstep in an area I know better than any other area around the | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
world. I was asked to come here as it will put up while also being a | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
look `` to come here as a reporter was also being a local myself. Seven | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
months on, how has Woolwich managed to recover? Instead of speaking to | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
community leaders, I went into the town centre to speak to anyone I | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
found, ordinary people from Woolwich. Come with me now to find | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
out what was said. Another ordinary day at the end of | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
an extraordinary year in Woolwich. Also known as the Royal Arsenal for | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
its historic past in producing weapons for the Armed Forces, you | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
may think this challenge of dealing with the murder of Lee Rigby could | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
be the challenge that finally splits the community apart. But don't be | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
fooled, this is an area which has been instrumental in fighting | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
battles for over 250 years. As you might expect, the people here are no | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
pushover. I got speaking to locals in the town centre, and time and | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
again, there was a sense of pride with other people Woolwich had dealt | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
with the difficulties. It is a working`class area where people | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
don't want other people to think badly of them. There are some really | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
good people here. That is reflected with the riots happening and what | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
happened to Lee Rigby. It is just a sense of spirit. You have to carry | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
on. What may surprise many people from outside the area is how that | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
spirit to carry on is evident when you speak to some young people in | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
Woolwich. I got talking to this group walking past when I stop them | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
to their views. Where we are from, we feel safe. But other people might | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
not. Other people think people get killed him, but it's not that bad. | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
What gave Woolwich a bad name was the riots. And for that to get added | :22:04. | :22:11. | |
on top didn't help the image. Nearby, the manager of an | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
independent coffee shop which uses local produce whenever it can. He | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
told me how he thinks many in the area have mentally come to terms | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
with what happened. We will take it as a bad thing which happened, like | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
a bad dream. People will try to think of good things, there are a | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
lot of good things in Woolwich. A few minutes away from the town | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
centre is where the brutal events in native place. It is also where three | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
local women showed extraordinary courage. This is the exact spot | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
where the so`called angels of Woolwich sat with Fusilier Lee Rigby | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
as he lay dying in his final moments. And confronted his | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
killers. Those images were sent all around the world and it left the | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
people of Woolwich proud of those women, because they had shown the | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
spirit and bravery of the area. It is great that the people of Woolwich | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
rallied together and people did help. I genuinely think that man is | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
generally good and will help another human being in distress. Of course, | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
the vicious murder here will never be forgotten, but with the people of | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
Woolwich very much looking forward, there is a real sense of community | :23:27. | :23:28. | |
and hope which is being kept alive. I joined now by the local MP Nick | :23:29. | :23:40. | |
Raynsford. We had lots of positive feelings in Woolwich. There was a | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
rise in Islam are phobic tax after the death. The mosque here was not | :23:47. | :23:56. | |
attacked, it was not subject to the awful attacks which occurred | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
elsewhere. The community held together. There was a strong sense | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
of people from all religions including the Muslims, that we did | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
not want to allow this dreadful incident to damage the very good | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
community relations that have characterised this area. That has | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
held in the last seven months. I spit you seven months ago. | :24:19. | :24:25. | |
Everything seemed to be going `` I spoke to use seven months ago and | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
everyone seemed to be working well together. | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
This evening, I was at a meeting with community leaders, to ensure | :24:35. | :24:41. | |
there was reassured 's `` reassurance that those who are | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
nervous, that we were working together. I am pleased to say there | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
is that strong sense of people working together to protect our | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
community. Thank you. That is the situation in Woolwich. Hopefully a | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
positive chapter will now open in the area. | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
Time now for the weather. Some difficult weather again this | :25:06. | :25:15. | |
evening but it won't last as long. This is the radar. This is the | :25:16. | :25:25. | |
problem heading our way. These are down to rain. But having said that, | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
mixed in with that, there could be some pale and even some wet snow. | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
The other possibility is scored the wins, as the wet, wintry mix makes | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
its way across the capital `` squally winds. | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
Don't be surprised if you hear a rumble of thunder. By 11pm, the | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
skies were clear and temperatures tumbling. It is likely to turn icy | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
on untreated roads and pavements. It looks as if the worst that could be | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
to the north west of London which is why there is a Met Office weather | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
warning. A crisp start tomorrow lots of sunshine in the morning | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
Somewhat cloudier skies by the afternoon. It should be dried during | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
daylight hours for most of us at least, temperatures getting up to 10 | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
Celsius. Then, once it gets dark, the winds will build. The rain will | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
stop to fall. As we go through tomorrow night into Saturday, the | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
rain will become more widespread. More persistent. Quite heavy as | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
well. Not particularly cold tomorrow night. But the rainfall totals will | :26:36. | :26:43. | |
start to stack up. We may have some of this during Saturday. Some local | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
flooding is on the cards. Again a weather warning in place that. | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
Sunday, on the other hand, dry, bright and breezy. If you are | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
heading out to the shops to do some of that last`minute Christmas | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
shopping, you could get wet, because there is always the possibility of | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
some showers around on Sunday. The main headlines: Two men have | :27:08. | :27:17. | |
been found guilty of the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby near Woolwich | :27:18. | :27:19. | |
Barracks in May. A jury took just 90 minutes to reach | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
a verdict on Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale. The soldier's | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
family said no one should have to go through what they'd been through. | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
The judge praised their dignity for sitting through days of harrowing | :27:33. | :27:37. | |
evidence. You can see more on that and the other main stories on our | :27:38. | :27:43. | |
website. We will be back later during the ten o'clock News. From | :27:44. | :27:44. | |
all of us here, good night. Me and Alan don't always | :27:45. | :28:14. | |
play by the rules. I think perhaps we should | :28:15. | :28:16. | |
never mention it again. I'm getting wed again. I hope that's | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
all right. Ready when you are, kid. | :28:21. | :28:26. |
