taken ill at a dance event tonight. There is also a first look

:00:00.:00:14.

Good evening. London's 48`hour tube strike has

:00:15.:00:18.

come to an end ` but only for this week. Another walk`out is planned

:00:19.:00:22.

for Tuesday, guaranteed to cause difficulties and delays for millions

:00:23.:00:27.

of commuters. But it's not too late for it to be called off if there's a

:00:28.:00:30.

breakthrough tomorrow, in scheduled talks between union leaders and Tube

:00:31.:00:38.

bosses. Here's Nick Beake. They ve weathered 48 hours of strikes.

:00:39.:00:45.

Frustrating times. But at least now it is over. For this week, that is.

:00:46.:00:51.

I think it will happen again next week. I have got a feeling. They

:00:52.:00:57.

will stick it out. They should sit and talk and work things out. If

:00:58.:01:03.

tomorrow's talks fail, there is yet to be another walk`out starting next

:01:04.:01:12.

Tuesday. This was the Mayor heading out on a visit from embankment just

:01:13.:01:17.

after rush hour. And this was Clapham Junction, in the middle of

:01:18.:01:20.

the rush hour, with commuters struggling to get in. They two of

:01:21.:01:28.

the strike brought more headaches. 72 stations were shut. There were

:01:29.:01:34.

57,000 more oyster journeys than yesterday but still there were

:01:35.:01:38.

600,000 fewer than all a normal working day. We have a lot of people

:01:39.:01:46.

in London. Oyster card data shows 40% of people who normally use the

:01:47.:01:50.

Tube have used the cheap today. I know there is disruption out there.

:01:51.:01:56.

I do apologise to people for the disruption they are experiencing. I

:01:57.:01:59.

think it is one of those things we have got to get through. Sorry. Amid

:02:00.:02:09.

his apologies, the Mayor insisted a deal could be reached that he would

:02:10.:02:13.

not say what ground could be ceded to make that happen. Let's get on

:02:14.:02:18.

with it, getting to the negotiating room and do a deal. What do you you

:02:19.:02:24.

offering? That is for the TFL negotiators to spell out. It is

:02:25.:02:28.

their job to sit down and go through the package. I'm sure it will be

:02:29.:02:34.

very reasonable. What does seem highly unlikely is TFL will withdraw

:02:35.:02:39.

its plans to close the network's ticket offices. Are the unions

:02:40.:02:43.

willing to make concessions to reach a compromise? We have a positive

:02:44.:02:49.

note to try and reach an agreement. It is always about getting a

:02:50.:02:52.

compromise which is satisfactory to the majority of our members. If we

:02:53.:02:56.

do not get that we will report back to our executive committee and the

:02:57.:03:02.

strike will commence next Tuesday. After a bleak Wednesday and

:03:03.:03:05.

frustrating Thursday, dark clouds loom over the coming week. This

:03:06.:03:11.

strike may have ended 90 minutes ago but this is one of 90 stations which

:03:12.:03:17.

remain closed this evening. TFL is insisting that come tomorrow morning

:03:18.:03:21.

a full service will be with restored `` will be restored. After a bitter

:03:22.:03:31.

war of words there are hopes common ground can be found behind closed

:03:32.:03:34.

doors. On Monday the union bosses will meet. We will find out if next

:03:35.:03:41.

week's plans will be abandoned or carried through. Thank you.

:03:42.:03:45.

A former head teacher at Caldicott Boys' Preparatory School in

:03:46.:03:48.

Buckinghamshire has been jailed for eight years for abusing boys. Roland

:03:49.:03:51.

Wright had assaulted children aged as young as eight. It's the same

:03:52.:03:56.

prep school attended by Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg. Ben Ando

:03:57.:04:03.

reports. Frail and using two walking sticks,

:04:04.:04:11.

Peter Wright was found guilty of abusing boys on a dozen occasions

:04:12.:04:19.

between 1959 and 1970. The abuse took place here at Caldicott

:04:20.:04:21.

Preparatory School in Buckinghamshire, which takes boys

:04:22.:04:25.

aged between six and 13. Peter Wright had room in the school near

:04:26.:04:28.

the dormant trees, which the judge said he seemed to regard as his own

:04:29.:04:34.

private fiefdom. He was also said to have abused boys on fishing trips to

:04:35.:04:39.

Scotland. One victim of abuse at Caldicot told the BBC it had been a

:04:40.:04:44.

long wait for justice but it was worth it. Only ever do a proportion

:04:45.:04:50.

of abuse to people come forward Therefore, we have a small

:04:51.:04:56.

percentage of people we suspect he has abused. Pleasingly, he has been

:04:57.:05:00.

found guilty of that abuse and we have today's sentence. That is a

:05:01.:05:06.

step in the right direction. The officer who led the investigation

:05:07.:05:10.

paid tribute to the victims who came forward. He has at last been held to

:05:11.:05:14.

account for his actions and I hope he has had time to reflect on the

:05:15.:05:18.

lasting effect he has had on the many victims of his abuse. I hope

:05:19.:05:22.

the victims who have suffered at his hands feel they have got some degree

:05:23.:05:28.

of justice. One former pupil was Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg who

:05:29.:05:32.

was head boy in the 1980s. He said he was shocked and appalled by the

:05:33.:05:38.

case. The judge said while Wright had been too many pupils and

:05:39.:05:42.

inspirational French teacher or a brilliant games master, the impact

:05:43.:05:45.

of what he did on those he abused had, in some cases, lasted

:05:46.:05:51.

throughout their lives. Roland Peter Wright was sentenced for eight

:05:52.:05:55.

years. He will serve at least four in prison where he will require

:05:56.:05:59.

specialist care due to his age and will be eligible for release on

:06:00.:06:06.

licence in 2018. Now the question, is there more rain

:06:07.:06:10.

to come? Hopefully, Sara has got the answer.

:06:11.:06:16.

The answer is, of course. We have a number of weather warnings. The most

:06:17.:06:23.

significant is this amber weather warning to the west of London. There

:06:24.:06:29.

are more spells of rain due in the next 48 hours. There will be a dryer

:06:30.:06:32.

interviewed throughout daylight hours tomorrow. `` interlude. There

:06:33.:06:40.

will be some really nice spells of sunshine coming through. Really

:06:41.:06:47.

quite breezy. It will feel a touch like spring. It will not last

:06:48.:06:51.

because there is more wet weather heading towards us. Another belt of

:06:52.:06:56.

very heavy rain as we move into the start of things on Saturday morning.

:06:57.:07:01.

On Saturday, we have some early showers. A dryer interlude for a

:07:02.:07:09.

time. Then some more showers which will be heavy and very windy as

:07:10.:07:11.

well. Don't forget, even though the

:07:12.:07:14.

48`hour tube strike has ended tonight, there could still be

:07:15.:07:16.

disruption tomorrow morning, with trains possibly in the wrong places.

:07:17.:07:20.

You can get all the latest travel information on our website, our

:07:21.:07:24.

radio station, or on here on TV from 6.30am tomorrow morning. Goodnight.

:07:25.:07:37.

Hello. I think the impact of this wet weather could be felt more

:07:38.:07:41.

widely
