Somerset Levels, John Kay sent this report. I dread the I

:00:00.:00:00.

Somerset Levels, John Kay sent this That's all from the BBC News at Six

:00:00.:00:00.

so it's goodbye from me, and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams

:00:00.:00:10.

where you are. Tonight on BBC London News. Building

:00:11.:00:13.

on floodplains. One council tells us it's now stopping the development of

:00:14.:00:17.

thousands of new homes. Any of the sites we are considering which are

:00:18.:00:21.

at risk of flooding, as shown by what we sue today, those sites will

:00:22.:00:26.

not be developed. There are fears that this could add to the housing

:00:27.:00:32.

crisis. Also ahead: Overcrowded and understaffed. The damning report

:00:33.:00:37.

into London's oldest prison. Plus, the gift of life. Kidney transplant

:00:38.:00:42.

patients at St George's Hospital say thank you to their donors and staff.

:00:43.:00:47.

And, we talk to the Londoner who's become one of the most famous models

:00:48.:00:49.

in the world. Good evening and welcome to the

:00:50.:01:05.

programme. BBC London has learnt that plans to build thousands of new

:01:06.:01:09.

homes in a flooded area of Berkshire are to be ruled out. The Royal

:01:10.:01:14.

Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, with I is currently consulting on

:01:15.:01:17.

proposals for 12,000 properties has promised to put a stop to any

:01:18.:01:21.

development on the worst hit floodplains. As we report, it could

:01:22.:01:25.

mean a failure to meet house building targets, which could then

:01:26.:01:31.

add to the housing crisis. This current crisis has temporarily taken

:01:32.:01:35.

the spotlight off another, the need for more housing. Now it seems the

:01:36.:01:39.

floods will have a big impact on where new homes can be built. People

:01:40.:01:43.

have to work together to make this work. These campaigners say it

:01:44.:01:48.

should never be on a floodplain We shouldn't really build where the

:01:49.:01:51.

river wants to go naturally when it floods. We wouldn't build in the

:01:52.:01:56.

river, so why build where the river goes when it's overflowing? This

:01:57.:02:01.

site in Wraysbury is earmarked for development. Like much of the

:02:02.:02:05.

village, it's still waterlogged If the evidence of flooding clearly

:02:06.:02:09.

demonstrates that regardless of how you develop the site, you cannot

:02:10.:02:13.

deal with that flooding risk, which you can see today by simply looking

:02:14.:02:17.

out of the window, then we will happily go to the inspector and say

:02:18.:02:21.

` this site cannot be developed That leaves them with a problem The

:02:22.:02:25.

Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead say it is needs to build

:02:26.:02:30.

12,000 new homes in the next 15 years. It's an area that is nearly

:02:31.:02:34.

all green belt. Much of that under develop #d land is on floodplains.

:02:35.:02:38.

The council say it is can build 9,000 homes on areas that won't

:02:39.:02:42.

flood. That leaves a potential shortfall of 3,000 properties. We

:02:43.:02:46.

would like to have house, but I don't see where we will put them

:02:47.:02:52.

houses at all, man. The council and all of these people have to work out

:02:53.:02:57.

that plan there, but it's a very hard plan to work because with this

:02:58.:03:03.

flood here, everybody that's... Nobody is safe right now. Only have

:03:04.:03:08.

to come to an area like this to understand why people are opposed to

:03:09.:03:12.

more building. Actually, a lot of these homes are dry inside because

:03:13.:03:17.

they were built on a raised platform. There is another issue.

:03:18.:03:21.

It's thought that developments would bring more concrete and more homes

:03:22.:03:25.

and that would increase the chances of flooding because the water would

:03:26.:03:31.

have nowhere to go. Catherine now lives in Wraysbury but in Malaysia

:03:32.:03:35.

she was regularly flooded. Homes there are designed with the river in

:03:36.:03:40.

mind. The flood got to four feet deep. How my family cope is to move

:03:41.:03:47.

everything upstair. We lived upstair when the down stairs were flooded.

:03:48.:03:51.

We have cement floor and we clean it. The council is considering

:03:52.:03:54.

building on the green belt. The water may be subsiding, but the

:03:55.:03:59.

demand for housing only keeps growing. As you may have heard, the

:04:00.:04:06.

Government is calling on insurance companies to make swift payments to

:04:07.:04:10.

homeowners and businesses hit by the floods. Let's join our reporter

:04:11.:04:16.

Nick Beake, who is in Berkshire People are facing a costly clearup

:04:17.:04:20.

operation, aren't they? Good evening. Yes, indeed they are.

:04:21.:04:25.

Welcome to the Manor Hotel here This was one of so many businesses

:04:26.:04:28.

that has been flooded in the past week or so. You can see the sandbags

:04:29.:04:32.

here. They did their job. The problem was, like in other place,

:04:33.:04:36.

they were flooded by the water rising from below. The basement was

:04:37.:04:40.

flooded. You can still see how tonight they are pumping water out

:04:41.:04:45.

from there. The water level Rosin credibly high there. Inside two

:04:46.:04:48.

conference rooms have been badly affected by the water. We filmed

:04:49.:04:52.

there earlier. They have had to pull up the carpets. There has been

:04:53.:04:56.

problems with the fur youure and some of the floorboards are rotten.

:04:57.:04:59.

A difficult time for them here. We were talking to three businesses in

:05:00.:05:04.

Datchet. For so many families and residents they face their own

:05:05.:05:07.

problems, as they try to make insurance claims. It's a long and

:05:08.:05:11.

often painful process. Our first report tonight is from Sarah Harris.

:05:12.:05:16.

Not the usual day at the office for Richard, the insurance loss

:05:17.:05:20.

adjuster, he has half a dozen calls to make for customers on this road

:05:21.:05:26.

alone. Hello. Nice to see you. All right? Louise has been living in a

:05:27.:05:31.

hotel since Wednesday. Water in her house has gone down, she has come

:05:32.:05:36.

back to find there are thousands of pounds worth of damage. It's

:05:37.:05:40.

disheartening really. I suppose in some ways a bit of a shock as well.

:05:41.:05:45.

That hasn't hit me yet. I think the reality is, when we come back in

:05:46.:05:50.

here, I think afterwards it will be the mess. The result of the

:05:51.:05:55.

flooding, all the clearing up and everything. I think that's when it's

:05:56.:06:00.

going to really hit. Insurance experts say the lowest payouts for

:06:01.:06:06.

this kind of damage are around ?15,000. Many cars, left out on the

:06:07.:06:10.

streets, have been written off. Julie has been given the go`ahead by

:06:11.:06:13.

her insurance company to move out and into a hotel. She's worried

:06:14.:06:17.

about what all this is going to do to premiums next year. I think

:06:18.:06:21.

they're just going to slap it on everyone really. Although these

:06:22.:06:24.

houses, the opposite to the me aren't flooded, the ones the other

:06:25.:06:28.

side, the next road down are. We will cop it around here. You know. A

:06:29.:06:34.

mobile advice centre has been setup on Staines high street for customers

:06:35.:06:38.

worried about flooding insurance claims. I started to repair things

:06:39.:06:43.

from the last rain damage and damage we had. Half way through that we

:06:44.:06:46.

ended up with having the severe flood warning. At that point, you do

:06:47.:06:50.

as much as you can, but you are never sure when it will end. The

:06:51.:06:55.

advice we are giving to customers, or potentially people who will be

:06:56.:06:59.

affected, make sure you have your insurance policy handy. Relevant

:07:00.:07:02.

contact details, but also think of safety first. The cost of the damage

:07:03.:07:07.

is likely to run into hundreds of millions of pounds. For most being

:07:08.:07:12.

properly covered is giving them a valuable life line on the long road

:07:13.:07:17.

back to normality. Sarah Harris BBC London News. Testing times for

:07:18.:07:23.

residents then. Businesses too massively affected by this. One

:07:24.:07:26.

problem, getting out the message that they are open for business At

:07:27.:07:29.

this particular place they say so many people have cancelled. Tonight,

:07:30.:07:33.

the local Rotary Club honoured their booking. They say they are in the

:07:34.:07:36.

minority. Other people have not been coming. They are losing tens of

:07:37.:07:40.

thousands of pounds every week. We can talk to three businesses in

:07:41.:07:44.

Datchet tonight who have joined us. Mandy, you are the owner of this

:07:45.:07:48.

particular place. Will Beckett you own a florist over the way, Julie

:07:49.:07:52.

West you own a dress agency. Thank you for being here this evening

:07:53.:07:56.

It's been an extremely difficult week. Give us a picture of what you

:07:57.:07:59.

have had to go through? We have ended up losing a lot of our

:08:00.:08:03.

conference business. A lot of our wedding... A wedding booked for last

:08:04.:08:09.

Friday on Valentine's Day. We had Valentine's bookings, we had to turn

:08:10.:08:13.

all of that way to other hotels and restaurants. We had a lot of

:08:14.:08:16.

conferences last week and this week which, most have cancelled because

:08:17.:08:20.

we didn't know where we would lab last Tuesday or Wednesday with the

:08:21.:08:24.

floods the way they were. The insurance process. What are your

:08:25.:08:27.

fear abouts that? You have concerns? We have never claimed on the

:08:28.:08:30.

insurance since I started up business back in 93. My worry is if

:08:31.:08:37.

we have to do something now, that we will be penalised for years to come.

:08:38.:08:40.

That is a big worry for us even though we are not in the floodplain.

:08:41.:08:45.

It's the first time it happened due to a few mistakes there was a wall

:08:46.:08:50.

breached at the end of Datchet a farmer's bridge that had a small gap

:08:51.:08:55.

that would let water in. We don t think it would happen again. Will be

:08:56.:09:00.

investigated. Will, it wases Valentine's Day last week, couldn't

:09:01.:09:05.

have come at such a bad time? It was the big day of the year for us. With

:09:06.:09:09.

the floods that took it out. We did it elsewhere to mitigate the loss.

:09:10.:09:12.

The insurance companies, I'm sure, will pay out, but eventually. My

:09:13.:09:17.

biggest worry is small businesses like ours is the cash flow. Cash

:09:18.:09:22.

flow kills businesses. What we need is something like the Government

:09:23.:09:26.

saying no money is no object. If the Government the were to say, small

:09:27.:09:29.

business like our, they would give us an interest`free loan for six

:09:30.:09:36.

months. That is nothing, local authorities if they gave us a

:09:37.:09:40.

holiday on our business rates that again would help. That's the sort of

:09:41.:09:46.

help we need. Indeed. You lost up to ?10,000. Julie, for you, you

:09:47.:09:49.

couldn't get insurance, could you? Couldn't get flood insurance because

:09:50.:09:52.

of where you lived, tell us about that? New business we opened in

:09:53.:09:56.

catch net November. We have been penalised because of the postcode.

:09:57.:10:00.

So, it didn't matter who the broker tried to get insurance with, we were

:10:01.:10:03.

told they could try and underwrite it with a different insurance

:10:04.:10:09.

company, but with the fee would be astronomical. With a new business I

:10:10.:10:12.

couldn't afford to take that that on. You think there needs to be a

:10:13.:10:16.

shake`up of the insurance system? Definitely. They have us where they

:10:17.:10:20.

want us. They can write whatever script they like much we have to

:10:21.:10:24.

follow. At the moment, being a new business, I don't know what the

:10:25.:10:27.

future will bring because I don t have flood cover. OK. Julie, thank

:10:28.:10:31.

you all for being with us this evening. We did invite the

:10:32.:10:36.

Association of British Insurers to be with us this evening, they

:10:37.:10:38.

weren't able to do so. They said in the past few months they have paid

:10:39.:10:42.

out ?14 million and said today they are doing all they can to try and

:10:43.:10:46.

allay the fears of businesses here and elsewhere. That they will

:10:47.:10:49.

support residents and businesses through these most difficult of

:10:50.:10:54.

times. Back to you. From Datchet, Nick, many thanks. We will of course

:10:55.:10:58.

have a full weather forecast later in the programme. Also coming up:

authorities to help bring them back to London.

:11:08.:11:14.

The future of Pentonville Prison in North London has been put in doubt

:11:15.:11:22.

after a highly critical report. The Chief Inspector of Prisons found

:11:23.:11:24.

that London's oldest jail is seriously overcrowded with staff

:11:25.:11:28.

shortages and inmates left feeling unsafe. Here's our special

:11:29.:11:33.

correspondent, Kurt Barling. A prison built in 18 54, conditions

:11:34.:11:39.

described as "likely to embarrass the Victorians." Such is the state

:11:40.:11:46.

of the overcrowding and vermon infestation at Pentonville Prison

:11:47.:11:50.

prison. They will need to be a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow

:11:51.:11:55.

if the Government is to recover a jail, the Chief Inspector believes,

:11:56.:11:58.

is not kushtly `` currently fit for purpose. We want prisoners to come

:11:59.:12:03.

out of prison less likely to offend than when they went in. There was

:12:04.:12:06.

good work on that in Pentonville Prison, the level of chaos and need

:12:07.:12:10.

in the prison, the lack of staffing, the poor environment, made that

:12:11.:12:14.

really difficult to do. At pent onville, the the report say there is

:12:15.:12:20.

was a high indense of drug use, overcrowding, 12 36 inmates in a

:12:21.:12:26.

jail designed for 913, living with rats and cockroaches. Unusually high

:12:27.:12:31.

staff sickness and absence rate and fearful inmates. This is Government

:12:32.:12:35.

policy, which is allowing more and more people to go into the prison

:12:36.:12:39.

system who don't need to be there. Who could be managed safely in the

:12:40.:12:43.

community. This means that we have a suicide every three days. We will

:12:44.:12:46.

have a riot. There are serious problems in the prisons. The

:12:47.:12:51.

national offender management service told us:

:12:52.:13:04.

Foreboding from the outside, according to the author of this

:13:05.:13:09.

report, frightening on the inside for the inmates. Her Majesty's

:13:10.:13:14.

inspector of prison lays the gauntlet down to the Government

:13:15.:13:15.

saying ` invest or shut up shop An international charity is backing

:13:16.:13:27.

a mother from North London who's fighting to be reunited with her two

:13:28.:13:34.

of her children. She won a landmark ruling last November ordering her

:13:35.:13:38.

ex`husband to return the boys from Russia. The charity says the

:13:39.:13:41.

authorities there have failed to enforce the court order.

:13:42.:13:47.

A mother's love for her child. Rachael Neustadt is longing to

:13:48.:13:54.

cuddle her two eldest sons like this, but she hasn't seen in five

:13:55.:13:59.

months, and now she has no idea where they are. Most people not

:14:00.:14:05.

having gone through this themselves, would have a hard time

:14:06.:14:09.

understanding the depth of the sadness. And the fear and anxiety in

:14:10.:14:22.

the not knowing. Not knowing if they are OK and when this will all come

:14:23.:14:29.

to an end. Her sons, Daniel and Jonathan, seen here near their home

:14:30.:14:33.

in London, were taken to Russia by their Russian father 14 months ago.

:14:34.:14:40.

It was meant to be a two we holiday but he hasn't returned them. This is

:14:41.:14:44.

the moment last November when she heard that Russian courts had made a

:14:45.:14:50.

ruling ordering her sons to be returned to her. But nobody has seen

:14:51.:14:54.

them all their father since. Now charity action for app but children

:14:55.:14:59.

`` abducted children is calling for action. I think pressure onto the

:15:00.:15:07.

Russian government to say that basically, this was the first

:15:08.:15:13.

example of a convention case. We will want to see it done properly.

:15:14.:15:19.

The decision was correct. Now it has to be enforced. Officials here at

:15:20.:15:22.

the brush and embassy have so far refused to come and on the case

:15:23.:15:26.

Rachel says he and her and the have asked for help but have had no

:15:27.:15:32.

reply. Since December, we have asked for several times for an interview

:15:33.:15:38.

but there has been a response. Boys with their baby brother shortly

:15:39.:15:42.

before they were abducted. Treasured moments that their mother hopes will

:15:43.:15:52.

soon be repeated. Despite a chronic shortage of organ

:15:53.:15:55.

donors, one of London's top hospitals has managed to increase

:15:56.:15:58.

kidney transplants by 60% over the last two years. Alex Bushill went to

:15:59.:16:01.

St George's hospital in Tooting to find out more and meet some of those

:16:02.:16:05.

who've helped transform the lives of others. Neal and Peter are brothers

:16:06.:16:15.

but they share more than blood. They share a kidney. Peter had a red

:16:16.:16:18.

autoimmune condition that meant his body attacked his own kidney. After

:16:19.:16:22.

renal failure, he needed a new one. His brother said he could have one

:16:23.:16:28.

of his. I was really well informed. There were no surprises. My recovery

:16:29.:16:34.

has been fantastic. You have got his kidney inside you. A wonderful

:16:35.:16:39.

thing. It has been amazing and life changing for me. I will be for ever

:16:40.:16:44.

grateful to my brother for making such a difference to the quality of

:16:45.:16:50.

my life. Last year, St Georges conducted 145 kidney chance plants.

:16:51.:16:55.

That is up 50% in two years. The success is in part because of John

:16:56.:16:58.

and Alex, donors who gave their kidneys to people they will never

:16:59.:17:04.

meet. It is unusual just because I don't know the recipient. But I feel

:17:05.:17:09.

that if it is right, it is right. It is the best thing I have done in my

:17:10.:17:15.

life. If you are not a doctor or a medical any sort, there is little

:17:16.:17:18.

chance the average person has of changing a life, or, who knows, even

:17:19.:17:23.

saving a life. That is why I did it. You have got two kidneys, you need

:17:24.:17:29.

one, why not? Theirs is a remarkable act of giving that wasn't possible a

:17:30.:17:34.

few years ago. The law changed in 2006. Consultancy are seeing the

:17:35.:17:43.

benefits. This year we did five altruistic donor transplants. People

:17:44.:17:45.

donated their kidneys to people they did not know. There is also a change

:17:46.:17:50.

that people who do not know somebody may want to volunteer and donate a

:17:51.:17:56.

kidney to somebody they have met on social media. The law has been

:17:57.:18:00.

updated to allow that to happen Today, St Georges celebrated the

:18:01.:18:05.

success, bringing this year's donors and recipients together. But they

:18:06.:18:10.

then there is still much to be done. `` they no much is still to be done.

:18:11.:18:23.

Still to come tonight: one of our most photographed faces.

:18:24.:18:29.

I will speak to her about her new role as a designer. Are you one of

:18:30.:18:41.

the thousands of Londoners who discard their broken phone or camera

:18:42.:18:46.

rather than get it fixed? There might be held at hand. `` help.

:18:47.:18:56.

A pair of headphones which have seen better days. It is one of many items

:18:57.:19:01.

brought to the restart project in Hackney, where broken electricals

:19:02.:19:07.

are given a new lease of life. It is a community repair is then swear we

:19:08.:19:11.

have volunteer repairers who like to fix stuff. People bring their

:19:12.:19:19.

gadgets, and so the volunteers have a look at them and help them to

:19:20.:19:25.

learn how to prepare `` repair the stuff. I have brought an old digital

:19:26.:19:29.

radio. I got this for free because it kept blowing a fuse. It is

:19:30.:19:34.

actually probably worth a lot of money. The scheme started two years

:19:35.:19:39.

ago and has proven so popular they have held 40 parties across London

:19:40.:19:45.

and helped over 500 people. We think there is a real value in repairing

:19:46.:19:51.

things that you have. There is so much waste going on in the UK, and

:19:52.:19:57.

so many things aren't repairable. In London we threw around 7% of

:19:58.:20:01.

electronic waste which is still working or repairable. Each of us

:20:02.:20:06.

will discard 350 kilograms of it by 2020. Councils across the capital

:20:07.:20:13.

are now trying to tackle the issue. They sent 200 tonnes of old

:20:14.:20:18.

electronic so weak to this plant in Kent. All of it is collected from

London and the South East. We receive broken vacuum cleaners,

:20:23.:20:26.

kettles, microwaves, literally everything around the house. It

comes to us for a cycling. It gets put on to the conveyor belt and fed

through the plant and separated into the commodities like gold. In

Hackney, the party seems to have been at says. `` a success. There is

:20:44.:20:50.

certainly more happy faces leaving than there were arriving.

Football, and Brentford has moved a step closer to building a new home.

:21:00.:21:04.

The Mayor's office has approved a 20,000 seater stadium at Lionel

:21:05.:21:07.

Road. The plans also include hundreds of new homes and other

:21:08.:21:09.

community facilities. The proposals will go through if there are no

:21:10.:21:12.

objections by the government. In athletics, Croydon sprinter James

:21:13.:21:15.

Dasaolu has had to pull out of next month's World Indoor Championships.

:21:16.:21:18.

The athlete, ranked number one in the world over 60 metres this year,

:21:19.:21:21.

tore a hamstring during the final of the Indoor Grand Prix in Birmingham

at the weekend. She's the Londoner with one of the

:21:29.:21:31.

most famous faces in the fashion world. Cara Delevingne has modelled

:21:32.:21:35.

for top designers and graced many a front cover. Backstage at London

:21:36.:21:38.

Fashion Week, our entertainment correspondent Brenda Emmanus caught

:21:39.:21:41.

up with the 21`year`old who says, despite her jetset lifestyle, she

:21:42.:21:43.

still finds this city the most inspiring in the world. There is

:21:44.:21:46.

flash photography at the start of this report.

:21:47.:21:58.

She is the model of the moment who has bagged herself a new role

:21:59.:22:05.

designing a collection for luxury brand, Mulberry. Seen here at the

:22:06.:22:09.

presentation of her handbag creations, she confessed that

:22:10.:22:11.

earlier efforts were not as impressive. Did you have ambitions

:22:12.:22:19.

to be a designer? I was a real big tomboy. I did textiles at school. I

:22:20.:22:26.

never wanted to design clothes. I designed a clown bag that I wanted

:22:27.:22:30.

to fit as many things in as possible. It is disgusting. But this

:22:31.:22:36.

is a different level. She hangs out with the likes of Rhianna, has

:22:37.:22:42.

famous eyebrows, and it is this unique image that has her in high

:22:43.:22:48.

demand for shows and shoots around the world. I think she has just got

:22:49.:22:54.

personality. A lot of the models aren't encouraged to show their

:22:55.:23:02.

personalities. They all have to look uniform and bland. I think a lot of

:23:03.:23:06.

the time they have to look ill. I am so sick of trade to find pictures to

:23:07.:23:11.

put in the newspaper of morals who don't look like they are about to be

:23:12.:23:15.

hospitalised. She doesn't look like that. But she is also busy building

:23:16.:23:20.

a film career with several projects that for release. One is inspired by

:23:21.:23:31.

the Amanda Knox story. It is so romantic. It is about right to find

:23:32.:23:38.

the right project. When you model, people try to typecast you. You have

:23:39.:23:42.

to prove yourself a lot more if you are model because people put you in

:23:43.:23:48.

that you aren't stupid blonde who is going to get killed... That is not

:23:49.:23:56.

me. It is not just because I live here. People get given more of a

:23:57.:24:00.

chance here. The way the city is is inspiring. How many different

:24:01.:24:04.

cultures and people lived together, it is like they are only going to

:24:05.:24:15.

produce beautiful things. Time for a check on the weather with

:24:16.:24:17.

Wendy. Time for a check on the weather

:24:18.:24:22.

There are some bits of good news this week. Let's go through them. It

:24:23.:24:27.

could be a lot worse. The weather, basically, is going to be distantly

:24:28.:24:31.

average this week. Nothing exceptional either way, which is.

:24:32.:24:35.

What we need. For the middle part of this week it will be mostly dry It

:24:36.:24:39.

is going to be fairly cloudy but it will also be calm and it is going to

:24:40.:24:44.

be quite mild. There is change to things on Thursday. A low pressure

:24:45.:24:48.

system from the Atlantic. We have a spell of rain from the warm front, a

:24:49.:24:52.

spell of rain from the cold front, and then some showers dotted around.

:24:53.:24:58.

It could be a lot worse. I don't think there is going to be any

:24:59.:25:01.

particularly heavy rain through Thursday all day we will have to

:25:02.:25:05.

keep an eye on it. We did have some showers today. Some of them have

:25:06.:25:10.

been heavy. A rumble of thunder in Essex. They are fading out at the

:25:11.:25:14.

moment. It will become dry overnight. At the moment we have got

:25:15.:25:19.

some clear skies. The temperature will fall back quickly tonight,

:25:20.:25:23.

loads of three or four Celsius. There could be one or two missed ``

:25:24.:25:29.

mist patches overnight. You can also see that the cloud is building as we

:25:30.:25:34.

go through the night. It means tomorrow is going to be another dull

:25:35.:25:39.

start. We also have some drizzle in the air first thing. As the day goes

:25:40.:25:43.

on it is going to improve. It will be mostly dry for the afternoon The

:25:44.:25:47.

cloud will be tending to break up a tiny bit. There may even be sunny

:25:48.:25:51.

spells breaking through. Temperatures again app to around 11

:25:52.:25:56.

or 12 degrees. I am tempted to say it could feel like early spring into

:25:57.:26:01.

the afternoon on the sunny spells. There is some goodies. Then comes

:26:02.:26:05.

Thursday. As we have said, there is going to be an area of low pressure

:26:06.:26:08.

through the country which adverts will bring some rain overnight. One

:26:09.:26:15.

or two showers in the afternoon but don't be too alarmed. There are

:26:16.:26:20.

going to be breaks in between them. It is going to be quite a breezy day

:26:21.:26:25.

as well. For Friday, one or two showers are possible again but there

:26:26.:26:28.

will be some sunny weather to be had. How is that? Very good! Thanks.

:26:29.:26:34.

A reminder of the day's headlines: The rate of inflation has dropped

:26:35.:26:37.

below 2% for the first time in four years.

:26:38.:26:38.

The rate of inflation Economists say it could ease the

:26:39.:26:40.

pressure on family budgets, especially if wages continue to

:26:41.:26:43.

rise. The Court of Appeal has ruled that

:26:44.:26:46.

judges in England and Wales can still hand out whole`life sentences

:26:47.:26:49.

to the most serious offenders. Last year the European Court of Human

:26:50.:26:52.

Rights ruled that they were a breach of human rights.

:26:53.:26:59.

French police investigating the murder of the Saad al`Hilli have

:27:00.:27:02.

arrested a man. The engineer from Surrey was shot dead along with his

:27:03.:27:06.

wife and his mother in the Alps in 2012.

:27:07.:27:11.

The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead has told BBC London that

:27:12.:27:14.

plans to build thousands of new homes on the worst hit flood plains

:27:15.:27:19.

in Berkshire are to be ruled out. And the future of Pentonville Prison

:27:20.:27:23.

has been put in doubt after a highly critical report. The Chief Inspector

:27:24.:27:25.

of Prisons found the jail is seriously overcrowded and

:27:26.:27:27.

understaffed, with inmates feeling unsafe.

:27:28.:27:34.

That's it for now. I'll be back latest for you during the ten

:27:35.:27:37.

o'clock news. Until then, from all of us on the team, thanks for

:27:38.:27:39.

watching and have a lovely evening.
