:00:00. > 3:59:59George. Thank you. That's all so it's goodbye from me and on BBC One

:00:00. > 3:59:59reports. First fat, then sold 8 reports. First fat, then sold, now

:00:00. > :00:00.we join the BBC's news teams where you are.

:00:00. > :00:12.Tonight on BBC London... We hear from the man responsible for

:00:13. > :00:19.rebuilding relations in the borough where Mark Duggan was shot by

:00:20. > :00:23.police. There has been a legacy, a history of mistrust between the

:00:24. > :00:27.community and the police, and the inquest into Mark Duggan has added

:00:28. > :00:29.to that mistrust and misunderstanding.

:00:30. > :00:32.The Prime Minister tells BBC London there's still work to do to ensure

:00:33. > :00:41.the police has the confidence of every community in the capital. Also

:00:42. > :00:45.tonight... I have been proud to serve at Clerkenwell. God bless you

:00:46. > :00:47.all. The end of an era ` ten fire stations close for good, the

:00:48. > :00:50.casualties of spending cuts. Plus...as rising waters continue to

:00:51. > :01:03.wreak havoc, we look at the flood`proof home of the future.

:01:04. > :01:06.Excuse me, is that your car? And we're live on the red carpet with

:01:07. > :01:08.Leonardo Di Caprio, for the premier of the BAFTA`nominated film Wolf Of

:01:09. > :01:22.Wall Street. Good evening. The man responsible

:01:23. > :01:25.for policing in the borough where Mark Duggan was shot dead today

:01:26. > :01:31.vowed to rebuild trust between all sections of the community. There's

:01:32. > :01:33.been anger after an inquest jury concluded yesterday that the

:01:34. > :01:38.29`year`old from Tottenham had been killed lawfully. So community

:01:39. > :01:40.leaders met senior officers at Scotland Yard earlier ` including

:01:41. > :01:43.the Commissioner, Sir Bernard Hogan`Howe ` as friends of the

:01:44. > :01:49.Duggan family announced a peaceful vigil would be held this weekend.

:01:50. > :01:57.Our Home Affairs correspondent, Guy Smith, looks at the source of the

:01:58. > :02:05.anger. His report does contain some flash photography. On the beat with

:02:06. > :02:09.the borough commander of Haringey, just ten months in post, and he has

:02:10. > :02:14.a lot of work to do. It is almost an impossible task, isn't it, to

:02:15. > :02:19.rebuild trust here? It is difficult. It is difficult because there has

:02:20. > :02:23.been a legacy, a history of mistrust between the community and the

:02:24. > :02:28.police, and the inquest into the shooting of Mark Duggan has added to

:02:29. > :02:31.that mistrust and misunderstanding. And that tension was not hard to

:02:32. > :02:35.find on the streets of Tottenham this afternoon am just 24 hours

:02:36. > :02:42.after an inquest jury concluded that Mark Duggan was lawfully killed. Are

:02:43. > :02:46.we saying that the police, we, shot Mark Duggan because he was black, or

:02:47. > :02:52.because we think he was committing an offence? I think that is how a

:02:53. > :02:57.lot of people see it down here in Tottenham. Because, if I have got a

:02:58. > :03:01.gun, for example, and the police is right here, telling me to put the

:03:02. > :03:05.gun down, and I am raising the gun at them, and they shot me, a lot of

:03:06. > :03:10.people will say. But if I have got a gun, and I threw the gun down there,

:03:11. > :03:14.and they still shot me... Well, let's look at some of the evidence.

:03:15. > :03:18.According to the officer who fired the fatal shot, Mark Duggan got out

:03:19. > :03:35.of the taxi and turned towards the officer. He told the jury...

:03:36. > :03:43.Yet the jury believed something very difficult `` very different. When

:03:44. > :03:48.asked whether Mark Duggan had a gun on him at the time he was shot,

:03:49. > :03:50.eight out of ten jurors stated that they were sure he did not have a gun

:03:51. > :04:07.in his hand. And yet none of the witnesses saw

:04:08. > :04:11.the gun being thrown. It has led to a lot of confusion, particularly

:04:12. > :04:16.from Mark Duggan's family, only last night, furious at the jury's

:04:17. > :04:20.decision. Back at the spot where this controversy all began, the

:04:21. > :04:24.place where the young man was shot dead by armed police. And you

:04:25. > :04:28.understand the anger in the community college I can understand

:04:29. > :04:32.the confusion and I can understand how that confusion leads to anger in

:04:33. > :04:35.some people's minds, because some people were expecting a particular

:04:36. > :04:38.verdict that they have not got averdict that they have not got just

:04:39. > :04:43.I fully understand that. But we need to get ourselves into a position

:04:44. > :04:48.where jury got to that decision. And we need to respect the jury's

:04:49. > :04:52.decision, and respect that they have reached that decision in a sensible,

:04:53. > :04:55.logical, rational way. Well, we were hoping to speak to the Mayor of

:04:56. > :05:01.London or his deputy, who are responsible for policing, but

:05:02. > :05:04.neither was available tonight. But the Prime Minister, David Cameron,

:05:05. > :05:07.spoke to Vanessa Feltz on our radio station, BBC London 94.9, where he

:05:08. > :05:08.praised the attitude of the Duggan family in light of yesterday's

:05:09. > :05:19.decision. Very much respect Mark Duggan's

:05:20. > :05:22.aren't for saying they wanted to pursue the case in the courts rather

:05:23. > :05:26.than on the streets. I think that is absolutely right. I have huge

:05:27. > :05:32.respect for Bernard Hogan`Howe, who I know is ready to meet with the

:05:33. > :05:35.family, if they would like, and recognises how much more important

:05:36. > :05:40.work we still have to do to make sure the police have the confidence

:05:41. > :05:43.of every community in London. The outcome of the inquest has split

:05:44. > :05:46.Londoners, with some critical of the police and the verdict of lawful

:05:47. > :05:48.killing. While others have been defending the unpredictable job

:05:49. > :05:51.armed, front line officers face daily. Alice Bhandhukravi has spent

:05:52. > :05:55.the day in north London speaking to people about events over the past 24

:05:56. > :06:05.hours, and she joins us now from Tottenham. Alice... You're right, I

:06:06. > :06:09.have spent the day trying to gauge reaction to yesterday's verdict, and

:06:10. > :06:13.I must say, it has been incredibly difficult to get people to speak on

:06:14. > :06:16.camera, such is the nervousness here about inflaming tensions.

:06:17. > :06:21.Off`camera, some people said to me that the jury made the right

:06:22. > :06:26.decision, that the jury's word is final, and that the police do do a

:06:27. > :06:29.very difficult job. Others, though, expressed the definite sense of

:06:30. > :06:32.dissatisfaction with the police and deep cynicism about their action.

:06:33. > :06:36.Some people said that there had been too many killings by police, and

:06:37. > :06:40.that when those killings happened, the police seemed to be never at

:06:41. > :06:43.fault. A couple of people did raise their head above the parapet to

:06:44. > :06:47.speak to us on camera, above the record today, one of them a young

:06:48. > :06:50.film`maker who has made a film about the death of Mark Duggan and the

:06:51. > :06:54.Tottenham riots, and he expressed very clearly the feeling amongst

:06:55. > :07:00.some towards the police now. Can the police be trusted? I would say right

:07:01. > :07:04.now at this moment in time, trust is earned, and they have not earned a

:07:05. > :07:08.lot of trust. The board is in their court, and we will see how things go

:07:09. > :07:13.from here, but this is a big milestone. A lot of people are very,

:07:14. > :07:17.very unhappy. So, clearly, some work to be done to rebuild that trust,

:07:18. > :07:20.but the overwhelming feeling I got I speaking to people here today was

:07:21. > :07:28.that people, more than anything, wanted to keep the peace and avoid

:07:29. > :07:31.reprisals. It is not fair to make everybody in this area suffer

:07:32. > :07:35.because of what the Metropolitan Police did, or what Mark Duggan did,

:07:36. > :07:41.or what he didn't do, or what they didn't do. Take it to a higher

:07:42. > :07:44.level, get it away from the streets and the children of Tottenham,

:07:45. > :07:51.because they are our future, and what example are these people

:07:52. > :07:56.showing now? Alice, tell us more about the vigil planned in Tottenham

:07:57. > :08:02.for this weekend. That's right. Today, the family of Mark Duggan met

:08:03. > :08:06.with the parson who presided over Mark Duggan's funeral, and they

:08:07. > :08:09.announced that they will be having a vigil here, outside the police they

:08:10. > :08:13.shoot in Tottenham, on Saturday afternoon. The watchwords for that

:08:14. > :08:17.vigil are peace and respect. Above all, the family of Mark Duggan have

:08:18. > :08:27.called for peace and respect at that vigil on Saturday afternoon.

:08:28. > :08:35.The Metropolitan Police Commissioner has tonight urged people to accept

:08:36. > :08:38.the jury's decision, but he acknowledged that there were things

:08:39. > :08:44.the Metropolitan Police should have done better, immediately after Mark

:08:45. > :08:48.Duggan's death. After the shooting, no organisation spoke to the family.

:08:49. > :08:51.They should have done. There are reasons that everybody can give, but

:08:52. > :08:55.that does not really explain, we should have kept trying to talk to

:08:56. > :08:59.Mark 's mum and the rest of the family. That did not happen, that

:09:00. > :09:03.was a failure. Secondly, when there was a vigil held at the police

:09:04. > :09:07.station, there was not someone senior enough there for the family

:09:08. > :09:10.to talk to. For more could have been done to communicate them. But it is

:09:11. > :09:13.equally important that we have to acknowledge that people, having

:09:14. > :09:16.looked at this case, think that the police, in difficult

:09:17. > :09:20.circumstances... These firearms officers who something you and I

:09:21. > :09:24.don't, they take a gun, take the risk of being shot at, and then, in

:09:25. > :09:28.a split second, they have to decide whether to shoot someone else. A

:09:29. > :09:32.terrible responsibility. And then that is forensic reanalysed over a

:09:33. > :09:36.period of years. A great challenge for everyone involved, a very

:09:37. > :09:39.difficult job nation, but in this case the jury decided it was a

:09:40. > :09:43.lawful killing, though not anything that anyone celebrates.

:09:44. > :09:46.Joining me now is Claudia Webbe, who helped set up Operation Trident at

:09:47. > :09:49.Scotland Yard, which targets gun crime in the black community. She's

:09:50. > :09:55.also the former chair of Trident's Independent Advisory Group. Thanks

:09:56. > :09:59.for joining us. We see the reaction to yesterday's verdict is very

:10:00. > :10:03.mixed. How would you describe the temperatures in the area? I would

:10:04. > :10:08.think that right about now, the relationship in particular between

:10:09. > :10:13.the police and in particular the black community, and the community

:10:14. > :10:15.generally, but I think that in particular, a significant minority

:10:16. > :10:19.of the community, that that relationship is now at an all`time

:10:20. > :10:22.low. The police have got a lot of work to do in terms of building

:10:23. > :10:26.trust and confidence. It was always going to be a controversial

:10:27. > :10:33.outcome, the shooting dead of a black man in this part of London, in

:10:34. > :10:39.top, " a farm, with the history of deaths in custody, the history of

:10:40. > :10:41.stop and search, and the history of bad relationships between the police

:10:42. > :10:45.and the community. You mentioned some very important points there,

:10:46. > :10:50.the history of the area, evidence being low, so how do the police

:10:51. > :10:55.build confidence? It is going to be a long and tough and challenging

:10:56. > :11:00.agenda for the police. They have really got to do a lot of work to

:11:01. > :11:04.build the notion of policing by consent. Without that, really,

:11:05. > :11:11.policing does not mean much at all. The inquest jury effectively said

:11:12. > :11:18.that Mark Duggan was lawfully killed, he was unarmed yet lawfully

:11:19. > :11:22.killed. Where do you go with that? It is such a perplexing outcome, and

:11:23. > :11:25.the police have got a lot of work to do to answer questions in the first

:11:26. > :11:30.place, before they can begin to have a knee jerk reaction, to want to

:11:31. > :11:35.speak to huge numbers of people. At the end of the day, they have got a

:11:36. > :11:38.lot to answer for, to have the public have confidence in them. One

:11:39. > :11:43.of those questions which we keep hearing is issues to do with people

:11:44. > :11:46.think that that had something to do with the shooting. Do you think that

:11:47. > :11:50.had something to do with the shooting? Would he have been shocked

:11:51. > :11:56.if he was white? At the end of the day, it is about perception. The

:11:57. > :12:00.reality is, there have been too many deaths in custody, and too many

:12:01. > :12:05.disproportionate deaths in custody that involve black men in

:12:06. > :12:08.particular. It is almost as though, and the community often read it in

:12:09. > :12:13.terms of how people say it on the ground, in that it is almost as

:12:14. > :12:17.though police believe the myth of the superhuman powers of the black

:12:18. > :12:21.man, that they require there for a particular level of force which is

:12:22. > :12:26.beyond what is reasonable. Unless the police can overcome this

:12:27. > :12:29.perception, the police use of force, and they have that power to use

:12:30. > :12:33.force, and it is how they use it and it is when they use it, and when it

:12:34. > :12:38.came to Mark Duggan, it seems they used to maximum force. The reality

:12:39. > :12:41.is, that feeds into the collective memory of people's understanding of

:12:42. > :12:44.deaths in custody. There is a disproportionate number of black men

:12:45. > :12:49.in particular dying in custody, and there is a particular level of

:12:50. > :12:58.disproportionate activity when it comes to police ` community

:12:59. > :13:02.relations. Stay with us as there's a lot more to come before seven,

:13:03. > :13:07.including... Find out how Londoners have helped

:13:08. > :13:14.keep this service running for 25 years. And it is the UK premiere for

:13:15. > :13:19.The Wolf Of Wall Street, already up for four BAFTAs. I will be speaking

:13:20. > :13:23.to Leonardo DiCaprio later in the programme.

:13:24. > :13:27.There were tears running down the faces of some of London's

:13:28. > :13:35.firefighters today as the country's oldest fire station closed its doors

:13:36. > :13:39.for the last time. Clerkenwell Fire Station opened in the 1870s and

:13:40. > :13:41.survived two World Wars but is now shutting as part of the Mayor's

:13:42. > :13:42.budget cuts. Our political correspondent, Karl Mercer, has this

:13:43. > :13:57.report. Hugs from the commander and the end

:13:58. > :14:01.of 140 years of firefighting. Clerkenwell, like nine other

:14:02. > :14:08.stations, closed its doors for good at 9:30am. Thank you for coming, we

:14:09. > :14:14.appreciate it. This is a last day of Clerkenwell. I have been here 29

:14:15. > :14:18.years, the longest serving firefighter at the station and this

:14:19. > :14:22.is a sad day. I have been proud to serve at Clerkenwell, God bless you

:14:23. > :14:28.and borrows, you don't know what you are doing. As well as the fire

:14:29. > :14:32.stations closing, 14 engines have been cut and more than 500

:14:33. > :14:37.firefighter posts will go. It is a travesty, London needs places like

:14:38. > :14:44.this. The cuts are doing nothing for London. It is also the Heritage. We

:14:45. > :14:51.were the fourth busiest in London. That speaks for itself. Your fire

:14:52. > :14:55.station is being cut as part of the Mayor's plans to save money for his

:14:56. > :15:01.budget. The changes are being made as part of it budget cut ordered by

:15:02. > :15:07.City Hall. They have survived legal challenges and Clerkenwell will now

:15:08. > :15:12.be sold off. I genuinely feel they are putting my constituents at risk.

:15:13. > :15:18.I feel emotional, I am really upset and yes, I am slightly tearful. I

:15:19. > :15:23.not supposed to be like this! But I really feel strongly, I am so angry.

:15:24. > :15:28.The necessity, like all public services, means the Fire Brigade has

:15:29. > :15:32.to find a way of doing what it does for a little bit less money. But the

:15:33. > :15:36.opportunity is the fact that through the proactive work of the Fire

:15:37. > :15:43.Brigade firefighters, we have driven down the risk in London considerably

:15:44. > :15:47.so we can make savings and changes and simultaneously keeping London

:15:48. > :15:56.safe. From today it is a job to be done with fewer resources. A man has

:15:57. > :16:02.been arrested on suspicion of attended murder acrid black BMW hit

:16:03. > :16:05.a officer in Peckham. It happened at 4:30pm this afternoon after the

:16:06. > :16:09.driver Grove off in order to stop by police. He collided with the nub of

:16:10. > :16:17.cards on St Mary's Road and the officer suffered injuries to his

:16:18. > :16:20.leg. More now on the floods and tonight 28 warnings remain in place

:16:21. > :16:26.along a stretch of the Thames from Reading through to Teddington.

:16:27. > :16:28.There's hope that the floodwaters will recede with drier weather

:16:29. > :16:32.forecast. But for many homeowners along the river, the clear`up is yet

:16:33. > :16:37.to begin. Gareth Furby has spent the day in some of the communities worst

:16:38. > :16:43.affected. Marlow, where luxury properties have been flooded. And

:16:44. > :16:48.where what was an activity centre for children cannot only be reached

:16:49. > :16:53.by boat. We are looking at the moment at somewhere in the region of

:16:54. > :16:58.?25,000 worth of damage initially, and the water continues to come up,

:16:59. > :17:05.that could stretch to ?200,000. And then Mark Campbell, a powerboat

:17:06. > :17:09.instructor, took us onto the Thames to witness its power. And to see how

:17:10. > :17:13.some riverside properties can be so vulnerable. It may be hard to

:17:14. > :17:19.believe but underneath the water here are the foundations of their

:17:20. > :17:23.house which, had it been built, which simply have floated on top of

:17:24. > :17:28.all of this. At the moment architect Robert Harker can only show was a

:17:29. > :17:35.model but he has no doubt his floating house will work. You can

:17:36. > :17:39.actually see that the building is an independent building and it is held

:17:40. > :17:44.on these guideposts around the side to allow it to get up and down with

:17:45. > :17:51.the water levels. But some riverside homes are simply build high enough.

:17:52. > :17:57.Howard's mansion might be surrounded by water but inside it is bone dry.

:17:58. > :18:03.It has got to go another three feet to penetrate the house and if that

:18:04. > :18:09.happens, the whole of it will be underwater. So we are feeling

:18:10. > :18:16.fortunate. Mark Campbell is relying on a network of pumps to save what

:18:17. > :18:21.can be saved. And helping that the river does not rise any more. This

:18:22. > :18:25.time we have attempted to cut holes in the floor and we have got pumps

:18:26. > :18:31.in here and in the other room and we are pumping water just to keep the

:18:32. > :18:36.height lower than the water trying to come in. But it is the river and

:18:37. > :18:40.the weather in charge here. And this afternoon, fire crews rescued a

:18:41. > :18:51.woman from a house in Sunbury`on`Thames. 25 years ago

:18:52. > :18:58.today, London's Air Ambulance took to the skies with the sole purpose

:18:59. > :19:01.of saving lives. To date it's saved thousands, helped by its ability to

:19:02. > :19:04.land virtually anywhere in the capital in just 15 minutes. But

:19:05. > :19:07.unlike Paris, New York and Sydney, which have at least four Air

:19:08. > :19:13.Ambulances each, we have just one. Tarah Welsh has been up with the

:19:14. > :19:18.team over London. It's the second call of the day. An elderly man has

:19:19. > :19:26.fallen in South London and has serious head injuries. This team of

:19:27. > :19:32.a doctor and paramedic will be able to get to him in minutes. The

:19:33. > :19:39.problems is not just a very patients to hospitals but they can get

:19:40. > :19:45.medical staff to the scene quickly. The helicopter can get anywhere

:19:46. > :19:50.along the M25 in less than 25 minutes. The idea of the service is

:19:51. > :19:55.to bring the A to the street. Helping the most critical patients.

:19:56. > :19:58.There are quite a few events we have been involved in that have been

:19:59. > :20:04.highly significant for Londoners, going back to the Cannon Street rail

:20:05. > :20:08.disaster, Paddington, and the bombings of 7/7, where the

:20:09. > :20:14.organisation put out somewhere in the region of 29 doctors and

:20:15. > :20:17.paramedics. The helipad is on the left. But between those disasters,

:20:18. > :20:24.every day is filled with a trauma somewhere. Angela Barlow was hit by

:20:25. > :20:28.a car when she was 11. I suffered brain injuries and a blood clot and

:20:34. > :20:37.not be here today if it was not for the air and villains. `` for the Air

:20:38. > :20:41.Ambulance. 5,000 calls come through to the Ambulance Service every day,

:20:42. > :20:45.so how do they know when a specialist trauma team is needed?

:20:46. > :20:48.Some of it is gut instinct and some is more obvious, people will tell

:20:49. > :20:52.you the reservations trapped under a car and that is obviously something

:20:53. > :20:59.that will need the assistance of doctors. This is the night shift. In

:21:00. > :21:05.other patients might not even realise what the Air Ambulance is

:21:06. > :21:08.and night`time we run from a car, it is not practical to have aircraft

:21:09. > :21:11.landing in London at night with wires. Medical staff are funded by

:21:12. > :21:14.the NHS, everything else comes from donations. And they want to raise

:21:15. > :21:20.money for a second helicopter to get to even more patients. The service

:21:21. > :21:26.only deals with serious drama, serious injury, and that is the

:21:27. > :21:28.guest killer of people under 45 and we often talk about the critical

:21:29. > :21:34.urgency of that first golden hour, so getting people treated by the

:21:35. > :21:38.medical crew by helicopter is simply the most effective way to deliver

:21:39. > :21:41.paramedics to the scene. It's difficult to measure how many lives

:21:42. > :21:44.have been saved by the charity, but it's obvious, Londoners have a

:21:45. > :21:56.better chance of survival with this in their sky. What an amazing job!

:21:57. > :21:59.Nominated for four BAFTAs earlier this week, Wolf of Wall Street,

:22:00. > :22:02.starring Leonardo Di Caprio, has its UK premier tonight in Leicester

:22:03. > :22:05.Square. It's the true story of a stockbroker who made a fortune by

:22:06. > :22:10.defrauding investors out of millions of dollars. Brenda Emmanus is on the

:22:11. > :22:19.red carpet for us. `` Lisle resemble hot up with the lead actor if you

:22:20. > :22:24.moment ago. It is a true life story and playing him in the movie is

:22:25. > :22:29.Leonardo Di Caprio. Congratulations on your nomination this week, you

:22:30. > :22:34.also have the Golden globes. You must be hopeful for the Oscars? The

:22:35. > :22:41.truth is, this is a very difficult film to get financed so that is

:22:42. > :22:44.reward enough. You work as hard as you possibly can on these films and

:22:45. > :22:53.you hope that people will receive it well. Sorry, this is distracting!

:22:54. > :22:58.But this is a film that was very dear to my heart. This and the

:22:59. > :23:04.aviator took eight years to get off the ground and to develop for a long

:23:05. > :23:08.period. And I am helpful `` grateful we got the opportunity. It is a

:23:09. > :23:13.Compaq 's character, was a done thing? I think he is really a

:23:14. > :23:20.reflection of our culture. After 2008, this rampant attitude where

:23:21. > :23:27.people have only been concerned with themselves and completely

:23:28. > :23:30.disregarded of anybody else and I wanted to put this person on`screen,

:23:31. > :23:38.he represented somebody in our culture that is very. This film in a

:23:39. > :23:44.lot of ways focuses on Jordan's life but he represents something that is

:23:45. > :23:49.much bigger, I think. It is a film of access, the language and the sex

:23:50. > :23:54.and drugs. Was a danger that it might glamorise this behaviour? The

:23:55. > :23:59.truth is, we knew if we did not submerge the audience in this world

:24:00. > :24:03.and talk about the darker nature of this world, that meant being

:24:04. > :24:08.authentic about our portrayal and we were ultimately going to have this

:24:09. > :24:11.film doing a disservice. We wanted people to understand what this

:24:12. > :24:18.lifestyle was like and how people can get so easily tempted by power

:24:19. > :24:21.and greed. And briefly, what was it like working with Martin Scorcese?

:24:22. > :24:26.Every time I get the opportunity, he pushes the boundaries and I learned

:24:27. > :24:31.so much about cinema as an artform and the importance of why we do what

:24:32. > :24:35.we do. I am in credibly lucky to be able to work with him and I can only

:24:36. > :24:44.hope to do that somewhat. Thank you for your time. That was Leonardo Di

:24:45. > :24:50.Caprio. I don't get a chance to say that very often!

:24:51. > :24:59.I also have some good news. The might be some sunshine. This swathe

:25:00. > :25:03.of clear weather on the satellite and that sets the story for the

:25:04. > :25:08.coming days. It will be quite a bit quieter and drier although we have

:25:09. > :25:12.rain to come tomorrow evening and again, as we start the working week.

:25:13. > :25:15.But it will also be colder and in the last couple of weeks, we have

:25:16. > :25:21.not seen temperatures below double figures, only once in 11 days. But

:25:22. > :25:23.we shall see colder weather tonight because we have high pressure

:25:24. > :25:29.building across the South, keeping us settled and any lingering showers

:25:30. > :25:33.are clearing towards the South and largely dying away. We have clear

:25:34. > :25:38.skies and temperatures will fall away. Four Celsius in the Tyne and

:25:39. > :25:43.colder the countryside and because of that standing water, the Met

:25:44. > :25:48.Office is concerned about ice. We have a weather warning in force

:25:49. > :25:52.across London. So, a chilly but right start tomorrow morning and it

:25:53. > :25:56.shall feel quite cold. The wind will change direction through the morning

:25:57. > :26:00.and that means we shall see some showers skirting towards us and

:26:01. > :26:04.mainly across central London through the afternoon. Nothing significant

:26:05. > :26:08.in these, they are a precursor to more rain heading tomorrow evening

:26:09. > :26:13.and temperatures just about getting into double figures but we shall

:26:14. > :26:19.move down a notch on this temperatures. This rain band is

:26:20. > :26:25.coming in, largely dying away as it clears across London, but towards

:26:26. > :26:30.Saturday morning it will be another chilly start. And we have pressure

:26:31. > :26:33.building across the UK through Saturday and that means it will be

:26:34. > :26:37.nice and settled for much of the weekend. Other we will have rain

:26:38. > :26:39.later into Sunday. Thank you very much.

:26:40. > :26:44.Before we go, let's remind ourselves of tonight's main news headlines:

:26:45. > :26:47.The head of the Metropolitan Police has acknowledged that there needs to

:26:48. > :26:50.be an improvement in relations with the black community. It follows

:27:30. > :27:33.Clerkenwell Fire Station has fallen victim to the Mayor 's proposed cuts

:27:34. > :27:37.to the service. That's it. I'll be back later during the 10pm news. But

:27:38. > :27:39.for now, on behalf of the BBC London team, I hope you have a very good

:27:40. > :27:52.evening. Goodbye. TOM: # And if there's

:27:53. > :28:13.anybody left in here # That doesn't want

:28:14. > :28:17.to be out there... #
