:00:00. > :00:00.goodbye from me. On BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams

:00:00. > :00:07.heading off to the discount stores. Our Business Correspondent

:00:08. > :00:09.Tonight on BBC London, Mark Duggan Our Business Corresponden To

:00:10. > :00:16.Tonight on BBC London, Mark Duggan was lawfully killed. There were

:00:17. > :00:20.angry scenes outside court, and many people we have spoken to in

:00:21. > :00:25.Tottenham don't accept the Jews verdict. That cannot actually takes

:00:26. > :00:33.away the little faith we had in the system. How can you claim and with

:00:34. > :00:37.no gun in his hand? The Met has decided its firearms officers will

:00:38. > :00:42.now wear body cameras. We will ask if that is the best way to get more

:00:43. > :00:47.Londoners to trust the police. Also tonight, flooding in Surrey as the

:00:48. > :00:53.Thames burst its banks. Where would the people affected? It was really

:00:54. > :00:59.scary, the water was waist high, as you can see I am wet now. And deep

:01:00. > :01:01.underground, London's newest tube station is starting to take shape.

:01:02. > :01:17.`` Tube. Good evening. Mark Duggan's death

:01:18. > :01:22.sparked the worst rioting in a generation and shone a spotlight on

:01:23. > :01:27.how London's police. Rates. Today, as we have been hearing, a jury

:01:28. > :01:31.decided that Duggan was lawfully killed when police stopped the

:01:32. > :01:36.minicab he was in back in 2011. They also said it was more likely than

:01:37. > :01:41.not that he had thrown a gun from the taxi just before he was killed.

:01:42. > :01:45.But they said the police haven't done enough to gather intelligence

:01:46. > :01:50.before the operation. However, the jury did conclude that the officers

:01:51. > :01:54.stopped the minicab in the best way possible to try and avoid killing

:01:55. > :01:56.Mark Duggan. Let's start our coverage tonight in Tottenham with

:01:57. > :02:01.our special correspondent, Kurt Barling.

:02:02. > :02:06.The jury reached its verdict of eight to two that it was a lawful

:02:07. > :02:11.killing. Here in Tottenham there has been a lot of confusion about that

:02:12. > :02:18.verdict, and also a sense that many people simply don't access did.

:02:19. > :02:35.`` don't access it. We came for justice today. We are

:02:36. > :02:39.leaving with a great injustice. We are not going to hide, we don't feel

:02:40. > :02:44.we've got anything to hide for. The people who do need to hide, they

:02:45. > :02:50.know who they are. They cannot believe that this has been the

:02:51. > :02:57.outcome. No gun in his hand, and yet he was shot. Murdered. He was

:02:58. > :03:02.executed, and we still believe that, and we are going to fight until we

:03:03. > :03:04.have no breath in our body for Mark, for his children, and for those

:03:05. > :03:09.other deaths in custody that have had nothing. We are not giving up,

:03:10. > :03:22.no justice! He had an honest and reasonable

:03:23. > :03:51.belief... Assistant commissioner Mark rally

:03:52. > :03:56.being heavily shouted down by protesters at the High Court in

:03:57. > :04:01.central London. Talking to people in Tottenham tonight, it is hard to

:04:02. > :04:08.find anyone who actually agrees with this lawful killing verdict. I feel

:04:09. > :04:13.that conclusion is wrong. I mean, no`one can be killed lawfully on the

:04:14. > :04:19.road. I mean, it's depends on circumstances sometimes, but I say

:04:20. > :04:23.no, I don't buy it. It don't really surprise me. I think the police been

:04:24. > :04:29.getting away with a lot of things for so many years. And they should

:04:30. > :04:35.do something about it. Mark Duggan was a friend of mine, I have spent

:04:36. > :04:39.11 months in prison for the riots, and I will do another 11 months, 11

:04:40. > :04:44.years. It was not lawful at all, we know that. I personally believe he

:04:45. > :04:47.was set up, and I don't think they have the right to take his life

:04:48. > :04:52.away, and yet again the police have got away with something that they

:04:53. > :05:00.were wrong for doing. Of course, the jury itself, a jury

:05:01. > :05:05.of ten, were a jury of ordinary Londoners. They sat through four

:05:06. > :05:08.months of evidence, they listened to the evidence intently, I was in

:05:09. > :05:13.court many a day when they had to listen to all sorts of things from

:05:14. > :05:18.over 100 witnesses. They have come to what they believe is the

:05:19. > :05:23.common`sense conclusion by eight to two that Mark Duggan was lawfully

:05:24. > :05:27.kill. I am joined by Ken Hines, on the day after he was shot, Mark

:05:28. > :05:33.Duggan, you were here at the police station leading a vigil. Having

:05:34. > :05:38.listened to the verdict, knowing the case, are you confused like many

:05:39. > :05:42.other people about this verdict? I am beyond confused, I am shocked,

:05:43. > :05:46.mystified, horrified that such a verdict could come about. You know,

:05:47. > :05:51.it doesn't make sense. Since when can a person not have a gun on him

:05:52. > :05:56.and be shot dead and everything be lawful. These were Londoners who

:05:57. > :06:01.shot through this, ordinary Londoners who listened intently to

:06:02. > :06:06.the evidence. Can they be wrong? What I can go to is that I have read

:06:07. > :06:09.the transcript, I spent some time at the inquest. I can only go on what I

:06:10. > :06:14.have heard and what I have learned, and I have learned that this was an

:06:15. > :06:19.open and shut case of unlawful killing. Don't get me wrong, whether

:06:20. > :06:23.Mark had a weapon in the taxi, he did not have that in his hand at the

:06:24. > :06:27.time he was shot. He was not posing a threat. What does this tell you

:06:28. > :06:35.about the elation shipped between police and young people when they

:06:36. > :06:40.are stopped by police? `` the relationship. It is no surprise that

:06:41. > :06:43.people run away from the police, because that is something I have

:06:44. > :06:47.been fighting for some time so, so what I would say to you is that this

:06:48. > :06:53.is just going to put the relationship between young black men

:06:54. > :06:57.and the police further back. It will cause me and people like myself to

:06:58. > :07:03.do a lot more work to try to bring back some sort of peace and

:07:04. > :07:07.harmony. Ten, thank you very much. The IPCC still have to do the

:07:08. > :07:12.investigation. For the moment, as you can see in Tottenham, there is

:07:13. > :07:19.still a lot of uncertainty and confusion about that verdict.

:07:20. > :07:22.Central to the verdict was how much they believed the version of events

:07:23. > :07:28.given by the firearms officers involved in the shooting of Mark

:07:29. > :07:30.Duggan. In a few months, the Metropolitan Police firearms teams

:07:31. > :07:36.will start wearing video cameras to record the actions and use as

:07:37. > :07:43.potential evidence. Guy Smith has this report.

:07:44. > :07:46.Body cameras were first used in Britain by Devon and Cornwall

:07:47. > :07:50.police. Officers routinely given video equipment to gather evidence.

:07:51. > :07:55.It can protect them if a complaint is made when attending an incident,

:07:56. > :07:59.in this case domestic violence. But the technology can also hold the

:08:00. > :08:04.police to account for their actions. Recent high`profile cases,

:08:05. > :08:08.like plebgate, have highlighted the potential benefits. And today's

:08:09. > :08:11.conclusion on the fatal shooting of Mark Duggan in Tottenham is another

:08:12. > :08:15.example. From April, firearms officers with the Met are expected

:08:16. > :08:20.to be using them in operations. Peter is a former chief constable

:08:21. > :08:24.and head of the now`defunct national police improvement agency. I don't

:08:25. > :08:28.think we should be too squeamish about this. This is the application

:08:29. > :08:33.of the latest technology into an area of the highest conflict in

:08:34. > :08:37.policing. It makes absolute sense for the police to be videoing what

:08:38. > :08:43.they are doing. I think you officers will be frightened of it.

:08:44. > :08:48.This is a real`life situation in the right of states, where officers are

:08:49. > :08:54.routinely armed. A suspect is warned ten times to put his weapon down. ``

:08:55. > :08:58.in the United States. He doesn't, and he's fatally wounded. The video

:08:59. > :09:05.was later used to clear the officer of any wrongdoing. The video was

:09:06. > :09:09.viewed by the prosecuting attorney here, and they were able to see

:09:10. > :09:13.first`hand all of the necessary evidence that we needed in order to

:09:14. > :09:19.exonerate Brandon as far as any wrongdoing, any criminal wrongdoing.

:09:20. > :09:25.Yet back in the UK, Peter Nauru warns about how body cameras may be

:09:26. > :09:28.deployed in practice. If the commander was seeing the live feeds

:09:29. > :09:33.of a picture from a firearms officer and was then able, effectively, to

:09:34. > :09:38.direct the officer to take a shot, that would be taking away from the

:09:39. > :09:40.individual accountability of the officer and would change the whole

:09:41. > :09:47.firearms, and seem very thematically. This criminologist

:09:48. > :09:52.also has reservations. I can see why a camera might be thought of as a

:09:53. > :09:56.way to verify events. I can also see that there may be blind spots, there

:09:57. > :10:01.may be interpretations, questions about how the data is stored and

:10:02. > :10:06.used. I am concerned about mission creep, surveillance creep. Mark

:10:07. > :10:10.Duggan's death was highly controversial and led to the most

:10:11. > :10:13.violent disturbances in a generation. Recording on camera

:10:14. > :10:18.exactly what happened that day in August two years ago may have helped

:10:19. > :10:27.explain why armed police felt it necessary to shoot a man dead.

:10:28. > :10:33.Well, joining me now is a former senior Scotland Yard commander, Roy

:10:34. > :10:37.Ramm, and the MP for Tottenham, David Lammy, in your opinion, as

:10:38. > :10:41.someone close to the Duggan family, whose constituency the rights and

:10:42. > :10:47.killing took place in, is this verdict the right verdict? We have

:10:48. > :10:51.to respect the ten men and women, ordinary Londoners, who looked at

:10:52. > :10:55.this case for three months and came to the conclusion they did. But in

:10:56. > :11:01.looking at that conclusion, there are answers still that the family

:11:02. > :11:06.obviously want. The first thing is that they concluded that the

:11:07. > :11:10.investigation into what went up to the stop was not good enough. The

:11:11. > :11:16.second thing, that Mark Duggan was unarmed when he was shot. Now, that

:11:17. > :11:18.is a huge development, and that is why the Independent Police

:11:19. > :11:22.Complaints Commission needs to reopen, continue its case and come

:11:23. > :11:27.to a conclusion very, very quickly indeed, because there is dismay,

:11:28. > :11:31.shock and deep concern in the broader community tonight. You are

:11:32. > :11:35.clear about what the IPCC needs to do in the investigation, do you have

:11:36. > :11:39.faith in the IPCC that they can do what is required of them? Look, I

:11:40. > :11:44.must have faith in that organisation, but I have expressed

:11:45. > :11:47.deep concern about how independent the IPCC are, what the resources

:11:48. > :11:52.are, about police investigating themselves, and these concerns have

:11:53. > :11:57.actually been echoed by the Home Secretary. So would would be wrong

:11:58. > :11:59.to say there is confidence in the Independent Police Complaints

:12:00. > :12:03.Commission, there is not, but nevertheless they are looking at

:12:04. > :12:07.this, they have been looking at it for two years. They have said they

:12:08. > :12:11.are reopening the case tonight. They now need to get to a speedy result,

:12:12. > :12:15.because actually the jury has also raise questions, despite coming back

:12:16. > :12:22.with the lawful killing verdict. It sounds like you do not have faith in

:12:23. > :12:26.the IPCC. Roy Ramm, a sigh of relief at Scotland Yard is tonight, do you

:12:27. > :12:30.think? I think Scotland Yard would have wanted a clearer verdict. You

:12:31. > :12:35.know, the comments of the jury that they did not think Duggan had a

:12:36. > :12:41.weapon in his hand at the time he was shot as obviously left doubts in

:12:42. > :12:46.everybody's mind about exactly what went on. But I do think there is a

:12:47. > :12:49.sigh of relief insomuch that there is a vindication of the operation.

:12:50. > :12:56.There was much that was said about the way the operation was planned,

:12:57. > :13:03.and that overall they had belief in the officers' evidence, when he said

:13:04. > :13:07.that he felt life was at risk and he had an honest belief at that time. I

:13:08. > :13:11.think they will be much relieved. Let me put that to David Lammy, Roy

:13:12. > :13:15.Ramm, a senior former commander, saying there is vindication for

:13:16. > :13:20.officers denied. You think, in the eyes of the people of Tottenham, it

:13:21. > :13:24.is vindication for the actions of the police? The coroner is coming

:13:25. > :13:28.back tomorrow morning with further conclusions, so let's see what he

:13:29. > :13:33.has got to say. I think vindication is too strong. This jury did raise

:13:34. > :13:38.questions about the nature of the investigation, and that needs to be

:13:39. > :13:44.on the table, and that is why the IPCC have got much work to do. So of

:13:45. > :13:48.course, understandably, there are concerns, because effectively, yes,

:13:49. > :13:53.Mark Duggan was shot and killed, but he walked out of that minicab and

:13:54. > :13:59.was not carrying a gun. Let me just as Roy Ramm, the police learning

:14:00. > :14:07.lessons from previous cases, from this case, we have seen John Charles

:14:08. > :14:10.the Menezes, 2005, whenever there is a shooting, the police say they will

:14:11. > :14:15.learn lessons, but it seems like nothing is ever being done. Is this

:14:16. > :14:22.lip service from Scotland Yard? Let's be clear about the facts here.

:14:23. > :14:27.In 2011`12, there were something like 12,000 armed operations across

:14:28. > :14:34.the UK. Shots were fired by police in just five of those operations.

:14:35. > :14:41.Since 2000 and 72 today, the number of armed operations by police has

:14:42. > :14:45.been reduced. `` since 2007 to today. You have police officers in

:14:46. > :14:50.incredibly difficult situations, asking people to make split`second

:14:51. > :14:56.decisions. If we don't want to be involved... If people don't want to

:14:57. > :14:59.put themselves at risk, don't belong to gangs, don't carry firearms and

:15:00. > :15:04.don't move in that kind of circle, then he will not be at risk. Thank

:15:05. > :15:12.you very much. Still to come before seven, a

:15:13. > :15:15.mother's campaign on passports, she says some parents wrongly used of

:15:16. > :15:20.abducting their own children at airports.

:15:21. > :15:25.People living near rivers in Surrey have spent the day clearing water

:15:26. > :15:29.out of their homes, while women and children were evacuated from a

:15:30. > :15:32.caravan site in Shepperton. Flood warnings are still in place and

:15:33. > :15:38.further rainfall is expected which could cause levels to rise. Tarah

:15:39. > :15:47.Welsh is in Chertsey tonight, with the latest on the situation. Tarah.

:15:48. > :15:56.This area has been completely underwater all day. The streets, the

:15:57. > :15:59.houses and the gardens, and as you can see, lorries are picking up

:16:00. > :16:10.people's furniture so it doesn't get damaged. It's too late for some

:16:11. > :16:15.people here. This is not a lake but Susie's front garden. This is the

:16:16. > :16:21.only way to get in and out of their house. We are side deep in water so

:16:22. > :16:24.to get the end of our drive, it was impossible, so it's quite scary for

:16:25. > :16:28.something you normally take for granted. The Thames its banks last

:16:29. > :16:35.medal was every home on the street is underwater. You can see where it

:16:36. > :16:41.is seeping in at floor level here. The water is running through. We are

:16:42. > :16:45.just trying to prevent damage. We don't know what's going to come

:16:46. > :16:49.tonight. That's what is worrying everyone here, what is next. They

:16:50. > :16:55.have clubbed together to hire a digger to make a trench. Staff at

:16:56. > :16:59.the local garage are trying to get that of the flood water. They are

:17:00. > :17:02.gearing up for more problems. Usually come you can't see the river

:17:03. > :17:06.from here because it's just write out where those boats are, but the

:17:07. > :17:14.water has completely covered this flood plain and district. It even

:17:15. > :17:18.worse at the other end. It is knee deep, and the water is running so

:17:19. > :17:23.quickly that it's just not safe to stand in. That's where this site

:17:24. > :17:28.is, 25 women and children had to be evacuated from their homes last

:17:29. > :17:32.night. It was really scary. The water was waist high, as you can

:17:33. > :17:37.see, I'm wet now. Many homes have been left without power and heating

:17:38. > :17:42.and the toilets are blocked. People have had to fill their own sandbags

:17:43. > :17:46.and haven't had any help. OK, we were here yesterday delivering

:17:47. > :17:49.sandbags for them, and again at half six this morning, and we have

:17:50. > :17:54.delivered more and more sandbags to them. We have helped many people as

:17:55. > :17:58.they possibly can. The council is offering a shelter for people who

:17:59. > :18:01.need it, but some are leading to stay in hotels and others are

:18:02. > :18:08.staying put, but they all agree it will be sometime life returns to

:18:09. > :18:12.normal. Flooding here is affecting travel, particular trains, and

:18:13. > :18:17.elsewhere, too. Trains from Paddington are being delayed because

:18:18. > :18:19.of flooding in Oxford. There are still several flood warnings across

:18:20. > :18:25.the south`east and you can find out about them on the Environment

:18:26. > :18:28.Agency's website. It is just started to rain and more rain is expected to

:18:29. > :18:31.night which potentially means more misery for people tonight and

:18:32. > :18:42.tomorrow morning. OK, thanks very much. A mother from Surrey has

:18:43. > :18:45.launched a campaign to force the Home Office to put parent's names on

:18:46. > :18:47.children's passports. She claims divorced and unmarried parents have

:18:48. > :18:50.been wrongly accused of abducting their own children as the name on

:18:51. > :18:56.their children's passports doesn't match theirs. Here's Alex Bushill.

:18:57. > :18:59.Valerie Burgess said her family holiday to Ireland was ruined

:19:00. > :19:02.because as she is married, she doesn't have the same surname as her

:19:03. > :19:08.children. When they return to London, an ordeal Institute at

:19:09. > :19:13.border control at Heathrow. Unsettling for me and the children.

:19:14. > :19:16.I take the children, he looks at my passport, I'm not expecting

:19:17. > :19:21.anything, sees my name is different from the children, they have their

:19:22. > :19:25.father 's name, and instead of talking to me about it, turns

:19:26. > :19:32.directly to the children and said, who is this lady? At which point,

:19:33. > :19:35.they sheepishly said, my mum. Since 1998, children have had to travel

:19:36. > :19:41.under their own name on their own passport, and gone with the days of

:19:42. > :19:45.the offspring be named on their parents documents, but now this

:19:46. > :19:48.housewife wants to change that. It's simple and doesn't require

:19:49. > :19:52.legislation. Teresa May needs to agree to change the passports to

:19:53. > :19:56.include parents names in the existing passport at the point where

:19:57. > :19:59.you apply for your passport, you have the option. And then, you can

:20:00. > :20:04.provide the legal documents required and then you don't need to travel

:20:05. > :20:07.with them. She is divorced so her children don't have her family name

:20:08. > :20:11.and she's as half a million other people could also be affected. She

:20:12. > :20:15.says is not acceptable mothers are routinely wrongly accused of

:20:16. > :20:18.abducting their own children. In response, no one from the Home

:20:19. > :20:23.Office was available for comment. They sent me a statement which said

:20:24. > :20:27.border staff have a duty to protect children and may question any

:20:28. > :20:29.passenger and will also do so professionally and politely. This

:20:30. > :20:34.will not change whether or not parental names are added to

:20:35. > :20:37.passports. For mothers like Valerie, it's of little comfort, and she says

:20:38. > :20:44.she's been discriminated against simply because she is not married.

:20:45. > :20:47.What will be one of London's busiest stations is currently hidden from

:20:48. > :20:50.public view by big blue hoardings on Oxford Street. But our Transport

:20:51. > :20:52.Correspondent Tom Edwards has been given the chance to see how

:20:53. > :21:02.Tottenham Court Road's billion pound transformation is taking shape,

:21:03. > :21:05.years before it's fully reopen. Next to centrepoint, Portman Court Road

:21:06. > :21:09.station is being rebuilt. And today we were given a glimpse of what it

:21:10. > :21:13.will look like. This is an escalator shaft which were connected to the

:21:14. > :21:18.Northern line. There will also be a Crossrail interchange here. You will

:21:19. > :21:25.be able to cope with the predicted passenger 's growth, up to 200,000

:21:26. > :21:30.today. Places like Canary Wharf, big, spacious, lots of capacity,

:21:31. > :21:36.lots of space, lots of escalators. This area has changed beyond

:21:37. > :21:39.recognition. Shops and the famous story of venue are long gone.

:21:40. > :21:44.Demolished to make way for the new station. This was the site three

:21:45. > :21:50.years ago. The work is on time and on budget. So says Transport for

:21:51. > :21:55.London. Massive amounts of money are being invested in the Tube network

:21:56. > :22:01.in part paid for by higher fares. Transport for London claims it has

:22:02. > :22:09.had an impact with delays down 53% since 2003. But more huge changes

:22:10. > :22:13.are just around the corner. That station will be controlled by London

:22:14. > :22:19.Underground staff. 750 job losses are planned and all ticket offices

:22:20. > :22:24.will be closed. The result of an RMT union ballot is expected on Friday.

:22:25. > :22:30.It has concerns over staffing levels and safety, strikes loom. Weaker

:22:31. > :22:34.industrial reaction ahead and it could be a miserable year for Tube

:22:35. > :22:39.passengers. I hope not, that's not a matter for me. I want to ensure we

:22:40. > :22:43.need to implement the changes, run the place more efficiently,

:22:44. > :22:47.continued to drive the amazing improvement we have seen over recent

:22:48. > :22:51.years. We can only do that with our staff. While the modernisation of

:22:52. > :23:01.the Tube continues, other changes to the underground will be as equally

:23:02. > :23:04.challenging. Let's return to the top story and the lawful killing verdict

:23:05. > :23:06.on the death of Mark Duggan. There were angry scenes outside court

:23:07. > :23:09.earlier when Duggan's supporters shouted down a Metropolitan Police

:23:10. > :23:14.officer giving a statement. But we can now talk to Assistant

:23:15. > :23:19.Commissioner Mark Rowley. You can see from the reaction outside court

:23:20. > :23:22.earlier that trust in a Metropolitan Police is a long way from being

:23:23. > :23:28.re`established, two years on from the shooting. There's obviously a

:23:29. > :23:30.few people there very angry, very emotional, and given we are talking

:23:31. > :23:38.about the death of someone, whatever the circumstances, no death is what

:23:39. > :23:41.anybody wants. However dangerous the people we are facing, we set out to

:23:42. > :23:48.arrest people and take weapons of them. Obviously people are upset and

:23:49. > :23:53.concerned about it. A few people? Is that how big a problem you think

:23:54. > :24:00.this is? It's just a few people, is it? I said there were a few people

:24:01. > :24:03.outside court. The jury spent several months considering the

:24:04. > :24:09.evidence. Not the conjecture and room and things printed and

:24:10. > :24:12.hypothesised on the Internet. They consider the evidence and came to

:24:13. > :24:17.the conclusion this was a lawful killing. No operation starts with

:24:18. > :24:21.the intention of killing anybody and we must be sympathetic towards the

:24:22. > :24:25.family. The professionalism of the officers has been supported by the

:24:26. > :24:29.jury. There's still a lot of confusion about what happened even

:24:30. > :24:32.after today's verdict. Do you feel the conclusion today have helped the

:24:33. > :24:40.public to understand what happened and the precious officers were under

:24:41. > :24:43.under the day? `` pressures. We are running thousands of firearms

:24:44. > :24:49.operations are you several times a day, confronting threats, and be

:24:50. > :24:54.fire shots once or twice a year. Those incidents, the massive

:24:55. > :24:58.scrutiny. The split`second decisions made by officers in difficult

:24:59. > :25:03.situations, the jury analysed those, and concluded Mark Duggan had

:25:04. > :25:10.a weapon with him in the car before he was stopped, and when the officer

:25:11. > :25:14.decided to fire, that was lawful and reasonable in terms of what he did.

:25:15. > :25:17.OK, thank you very much for your time this evening. Now the weather

:25:18. > :25:27.with Sara. Though not surprised to hear there's

:25:28. > :25:29.more rain on the way. A low pressure system spinning more rain towards

:25:30. > :25:35.northern and western parts of the UK. For us, we will have rain in the

:25:36. > :25:39.form of showers to come, so this evening and overnight, more rain to

:25:40. > :25:44.come and it will be windy. Not a particularly piece of good news. As

:25:45. > :25:50.you will see, the showers coming through the night, we could see ten

:25:51. > :25:53.or 15 millimetres worth of rain, getting on for more than half an

:25:54. > :26:00.inch by tomorrow morning and that's not great news. That, things are

:26:01. > :26:05.starting to improve, becoming much more quiet in the coming days.

:26:06. > :26:10.Pressure tomorrow, so the showers dying away. In the afternoon,

:26:11. > :26:14.sunshine coming through and it will be dry. As we go through the

:26:15. > :26:20.afternoon, these temperatures will feel a bit cooler. It also sets the

:26:21. > :26:24.trend for the coming days because we have high pressure building towards

:26:25. > :26:27.the south of the UK. It's not going to kill off all weather fronts

:26:28. > :26:31.towards the weekend because we do have this weather system for late on

:26:32. > :26:37.Friday but by the time it gets to us, not too much rain left in that.

:26:38. > :26:42.We will have a fairly slow start on Saturday morning with some cloud but

:26:43. > :26:45.it will be dry in the afternoon and staying dry for the rest of the

:26:46. > :26:53.weekend. A number of flood warnings across the Thames, towards the West.

:26:54. > :26:57.Thank you very much. Before we go, a look again at tonight's main news

:26:58. > :27:01.headlines. An inquest jury has concluded by a majority of eight to

:27:02. > :27:04.two that the fatal police shooting of Mark Duggan in Tottenham in the

:27:05. > :27:08.summer of 2011 was lawful. The jurors decided that Mark Duggan did

:27:09. > :27:11.have a gun but it was not in his hand when he was shot. Mark Duggan's

:27:12. > :27:15.death sparked riots across London which spread to a number of cities

:27:16. > :27:18.across England. There were chaotic scenes at the Royal Courts of

:27:19. > :27:26.Justice as the decision was read out. More than 100 flood warnings

:27:27. > :27:29.are still in place across the country with more heavy rain

:27:30. > :27:32.expected this evening. A cyclist died earlier today after falling

:27:33. > :27:39.into floodwater just outside Oxford. That's it. The debate about Mark

:27:40. > :27:43.Duggan's shooting continues on our radio station. I'll be back later

:27:44. > :27:45.during the Ten O'Clock News on BBC One. Goodbye.
