:00:00. > :00:00.Thank you very much. That is it from us.
:00:00. > :00:22.Good afternoon. Scotland Yard is on the hunt for a gang of armed ropers
:00:23. > :00:26.who stole half a million pound of watches from a store on Oxford
:00:27. > :00:33.Street. Witnesses say that they were left shaking, even though no shots
:00:34. > :00:39.were fired. 5.30pm on Thursday evening, a busy time on Oxford
:00:40. > :00:46.Street, but that is when three men walked through the store here,
:00:47. > :00:52.through the doors, one ying shot gun and two carrying hammers. They
:00:53. > :00:56.smashed the display cases and stole watches worth up tolbs 500,000. The
:00:57. > :00:59.staff are shaken up by what happened. They are receiving
:01:00. > :01:03.support. Look at some of the watches. They are worth up to
:01:04. > :01:08.?9,000. This is just the window display. There are watches worth up
:01:09. > :01:13.to double that inside. Police are keen to talk to witnesses. Anyone
:01:14. > :01:19.who saw three men wearing hoods running down this road, Duke Street,
:01:20. > :01:27.at about 5. Whopm on Thursday evening.
:01:28. > :01:36.A judge has given doctors at a London hospital, permission to give
:01:37. > :01:41.a Sunday Express. The woman's life was in danger. She could not make
:01:42. > :01:48.the decision for herself. `` a Caesarean.
:01:49. > :01:53.A row has broken out over the Royal Mail central office in London.
:01:54. > :02:00.Boris Johnson's actions have been described as unprecedented in this
:02:01. > :02:06.case. Mount Pleasant. Once home to the world's biggest sorting office,
:02:07. > :02:12.could be home to prime flats. The the plans are under close scrutiny.
:02:13. > :02:16.It is very high density. It is in an area that is complex. It turns its
:02:17. > :02:22.back on its neighbours. The development is to include
:02:23. > :02:31.several hundred home, 12% of which would be affordable. That is too low
:02:32. > :02:35.say the Islington and Lambeth council, they need more affordable
:02:36. > :02:41.housing. They cannot get away with just 2%.
:02:42. > :02:44.The decision here rests with the local council. For the Mayor to
:02:45. > :02:47.intervene before they have had a chance to meet has angered the local
:02:48. > :02:51.politicians. Would it not be outrageous for the
:02:52. > :02:55.Mayor of London to prove the development of the site? The issue
:02:56. > :02:58.was raised in Parliament, with the Prime Minister defending the Mayor
:02:59. > :03:02.of London. I think it is important to allow the
:03:03. > :03:08.Mayor of London to carry out planning responsibilities but what
:03:09. > :03:12.is important is that when there are development opportunities, that they
:03:13. > :03:16.are not blocked. We need the housing.
:03:17. > :03:21.The Royal Mail have said that the offer of affordable housing takes
:03:22. > :03:25.into account money that they have already spent.
:03:26. > :03:28.There are greater costs and this has been taken into account into
:03:29. > :03:33.determining what the scheme can afford in terms of affordable
:03:34. > :03:37.housing. The Mayor of London says he will
:03:38. > :03:41.speed up the decision`making process.
:03:42. > :03:45.Now a look at the weather: After a dry start to the day for many, the
:03:46. > :03:54.showers are back. Some of them heavy. It is Fehily chilly too.
:03:55. > :03:57.A top temperature of 9 Celsius. `` feeling chilly too.
:03:58. > :04:02.Do have a very good afternoon. Do have a very good afternoon.
:04:03. > :04:12.Goodbye. Some of us will have to brace
:04:13. > :04:17.ourselves today. Leaning forward into the wind. If you live over the
:04:18. > :04:22.west of the UK, there are gale-force winds on the way, but the main
:04:23. > :04:26.hazards are the gales and the potential for flooding. Tomorrow, a
:04:27. > :04:30.blustery day but on balance, it will be a better day. This is the current
:04:31. > :04:35.storm that is just about approaching the UK now. It looks like from space
:04:36. > :04:40.you can see a swirl of cloud. The worst of the weather is close to the
:04:41. > :04:45.centre of the storm. You can see how clear the east of the country is.
:04:46. > :04:49.Lovely sunshine this morning and at lunch time. Here the strength of the
:04:50. > :04:55.wind will be felt over the western and southern areas, especially
:04:56. > :04:59.across the south-west and the Welsh coasts.
:05:00. > :05:05.Gusts up to 07 miles an hour. And of course -- gusts up to 70 mierls an
:05:06. > :05:09.hour. -- miles.
:05:10. > :05:16.Severe gales and big waves. Dangerous conditions along the
:05:17. > :05:17.seafront and severe flood warnings. This is a number for a lot of us
