:00:00. > :00:00.That's all from the BBC News at Six. So it's goodbye from me, and on BBC
:00:07. > :00:13.One, we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.
:00:14. > :00:16.Tonight on BBC London News: The man who curbed bankers' bonuses says we
:00:17. > :00:25.shouldn't worry if they movd out of the city. Sorry for the comparison,
:00:26. > :00:29.but if drug dealers are invdsting my neighbourhood, I will compl`in. His
:00:30. > :00:31.comments come as the Royal Bank of Scotland announced big bonuses
:00:32. > :00:36.despite huge losses. Also tonight: The row over plans to
:00:37. > :00:40.arm the Met with water cannon ` claims they'd have limited tse on
:00:41. > :00:44.our streets. The woman who came to Lee Rhgby s
:00:45. > :00:52.aid ` why she thinks one of the soldier's killers shouldn't have
:00:53. > :00:57.been jailed for so long. I think we get a better result by giving him a
:00:58. > :01:00.trade in jail and educating him and then freeing him, rather th`n
:01:01. > :01:04.keeping him there for nothing. And captured and sent to thd Tower
:01:05. > :01:20.during the First World War, we reveal the fate of 11 German spies.
:01:21. > :01:24.Good evening. Criticism over bankers' bontses has
:01:25. > :01:26.resurfaced after the Royal Bank of Scotland announced it was p`ying
:01:27. > :01:30.nearly ?600,000 in bonuses, that's despite the fact that the b`nk,
:01:31. > :01:37.which is owned by the tax p`yer made annual losses of just over
:01:38. > :01:39.eight billion pounds. The MDP, who pushed through European leghslation
:01:40. > :01:42.to curb bonuses in the financial sector has compared bankers to drug
:01:43. > :01:47.dealers and says the City is best off without the bonus culture. Our
:01:48. > :01:59.political correspondent Karl Mercer reports. This is picture postcard
:02:00. > :02:07.Brussels. It has been attracting visitors for centuries. And it is as
:02:08. > :02:11.popular as ever. Once the hdart of the city's Power, now the hdart of
:02:12. > :02:16.the tourist trade. Some parts of Brussels have not always bedn so
:02:17. > :02:20.popular, particularly in England. We are here at the European Parliament
:02:21. > :02:24.and legislation passed here could soon be hitting the pockets of some
:02:25. > :02:30.of the wealthiest in London. That'll be the people who work here in the
:02:31. > :02:35.city. Laws passed across thd Channel have curbed bonuses in London. Not
:02:36. > :02:40.that you would necessarily think that today. This man is Ross McEwan,
:02:41. > :02:46.the chief executive of RBS, a bank largely owned by the taxpaydr. It
:02:47. > :02:54.made losses but he paid staff bonuses of half ?1 billion. I know
:02:55. > :03:01.it is hard to understand whx would you pay any money out on bonuses.
:03:02. > :03:04.Underneath that loss, we have got a very profitable business th`t
:03:05. > :03:11.thousands of people operate every day to do things with custolers and
:03:12. > :03:21.I need to hold onto those pdople. That is not an argument we heard.
:03:22. > :03:25.London is a city like no other. I would doubt that bonus limitations
:03:26. > :03:31.would be enough of an incentive to have huge chunks of the indtstry
:03:32. > :03:37.moving out. And then again, you have to decide, sorry for the colparison
:03:38. > :03:43.but if drug dealers are invdsting my neighbourhood, when they move out I
:03:44. > :03:48.will complain. But banks employ 700,000 people in the capit`l adding
:03:49. > :03:52.25 billion to London's economy. Finding people to support bonuses
:03:53. > :03:59.and high pay is not difficult. We live in a globally competithve
:04:00. > :04:04.world. Places like Asia are not following your's lead on thhs. They
:04:05. > :04:08.recognise you have to pay for top talent. The British public will find
:04:09. > :04:14.it incomprehensible that thdy are paying out large bonuses whdn they
:04:15. > :04:18.have lost money. How'd you connect with the other businesses? Ht will
:04:19. > :04:26.take more than visits from top bankers to help mend the industry 's
:04:27. > :04:31.image. They know the public and politicians are watching.
:04:32. > :04:37.If they are going to find a way round the bonus cap, will it make a
:04:38. > :04:41.difference to London? Big b`nks will try and get round the rules. There
:04:42. > :04:47.is evidence that set wages `re going up and there are also shared options
:04:48. > :04:50.`` share options as well as bonuses. What is more likelx to
:04:51. > :04:55.affect London is changes to the banking industry itself. We have
:04:56. > :04:58.seen RBS saying it is going to downsize, other banks have said
:04:59. > :05:03.similar things. And then thdre is the threat from the emerging
:05:04. > :05:06.markets, particularly in thd Far East and given the amount of money
:05:07. > :05:11.that the city generates, not only for London but the whole of the UK,
:05:12. > :05:15.politicians are taking very seriously, which would expl`in the
:05:16. > :05:19.government is challenging the European rules on bonuses through
:05:20. > :05:27.the courts. Thank you. Coming up later in the programme: I
:05:28. > :05:33.will be looking at the Olympic venue where the financial challenges are
:05:34. > :05:35.as tough as the Whitewater. The Metropolitan Police has been
:05:36. > :05:41.questioned over plans to bux water cannon ` funded by the Mayor. A
:05:42. > :05:47.report by the London Assembly argues there isn't a strong enough case for
:05:48. > :05:50.their use. And urges the decision should be delayed until the Home
:05:51. > :05:58.Secretary approves their usd across the country. Marc Ashdown rdports.
:05:59. > :06:03.Contradictory and unconvinchng, that is the damning verdict on the case
:06:04. > :06:09.for these to be used on the streets of London. Once upon a time the
:06:10. > :06:14.Mayor agreed. We do not havd water cannons or rubber bullets. Do you
:06:15. > :06:20.think we should? I would be most unhappy to go that way. He has now
:06:21. > :06:29.had his opinion changed and proposes buying water cannon. He said there
:06:30. > :06:34.are cases where they could be used. The Police and Crime Commissioner
:06:35. > :06:49.you disagree. Yellow macro we have had riots. What happened in the 2011
:06:50. > :06:56.riots shows... The Mets havd learned from their mistakes. The riots in
:06:57. > :07:03.2011 was the worst civil unrest in decades and water cannon is not an
:07:04. > :07:08.effective tactic. The riots quickly spread to other parts of London
:07:09. > :07:12.They were organised via sochal media. There are doubts that slow
:07:13. > :07:17.cumbersome heavy kit like the water cannon would be much use. In
:07:18. > :07:22.Tottenham today, a communitx event aimed at engaging young Londoners.
:07:23. > :07:29.Many feel this is where mondy should be invested. I think prevention is
:07:30. > :07:34.better. It is worrying that that should be on the streets of London.
:07:35. > :07:38.Others agree they should have them just in case. When you have things
:07:39. > :07:43.like violence and petrol bolbs being thrown, paving stones being broken
:07:44. > :07:47.up and thrown at police, whdn it is very intense, on those rare
:07:48. > :07:52.occasions, I think it is important that police should have that
:07:53. > :07:56.facility. Now it is up to the Mayor who will decide whether it hs worth
:07:57. > :08:00.having. The family of a doctor who died
:08:01. > :08:03.while in custody in Syria h`ve been told by sources in the country that
:08:04. > :08:06.he did not take his own lifd. Abbas Khan from Streatham was captured
:08:07. > :08:10.while trying to help victims of hospital bombings. The Syri`n
:08:11. > :08:14.authorities said his body h`d been found hanging in a cell. Today, a
:08:15. > :08:17.pre`inquest review heard th`t his family have spoken to peopld in the
:08:18. > :08:21.country that said he hadn't killed himself.
:08:22. > :08:24.A firearms officer who killdd a man nine years ago has failed to get a
:08:25. > :08:27.review of the inquiry which found he acted unlawfully. Azelle Rodney was
:08:28. > :08:33.killed in Edgware in 2005 after the car he was in was stopped bx armed
:08:34. > :08:38.police. The Met officer ` known only as E7, has already been reftsed
:08:39. > :08:41.permission for a judicial rdview. She was dubbed the the Angel of
:08:42. > :08:45.Woolwich after confronting the men who murdered the soldier Led Rigby
:08:46. > :08:47.in cold blood. Today Ingrid Loyau`Kennett criticised thd
:08:48. > :08:52.sentence handed down to one of his killers. While Michael Adebolajo was
:08:53. > :08:55.jailed for life yesterday at the Old Bailey ` his younger accomplice
:08:56. > :09:00.Michael Adebowale was sentenced to a minimum of 45 years. Our hole
:09:01. > :09:10.affairs correspondent, Guy Smith, has more.
:09:11. > :09:15.For some, a jail sentence is not enough. Capital punishment, the only
:09:16. > :09:20.solution for the two men who hacked to death soldier Lee Rigby. But
:09:21. > :09:25.today, the woman who confronted them moments after the murder saxs 4
:09:26. > :09:30.years for Michael was disproportionate. She believes he
:09:31. > :09:36.does deserve jail but he was vulnerable and believed into the
:09:37. > :09:39.killing by his older accomplice Yesterday in Bournemouth, the guy
:09:40. > :09:45.who purposely kill someone with his fist got four years. And thhs one
:09:46. > :09:52.who was bullied into doing that 45 years. I think it is heavy really.
:09:53. > :09:56.That view is shared by one of Britain's most high profile and
:09:57. > :10:01.experienced defence lawyers. My concern is how can you give a
:10:02. > :10:06.22`year`old a 45 year sentence, so effectively you crush any prospect
:10:07. > :10:11.of that person being releasdd. So, whatever happened to the whole idea
:10:12. > :10:16.of rehabilitation? These Muslim converts claimed they were soldiers
:10:17. > :10:21.of Islam. Today, the sentencing judge said both gloried in what they
:10:22. > :10:25.had done. He described Mich`el Adebolajo as the leader but Michael
:10:26. > :10:29.Adebowale played his part enthusiastically. This was the
:10:30. > :10:33.reaction from some Londoners. They should go to the road. Anyone who
:10:34. > :10:39.commits calculated murder should go to the rope. If there is anx chance
:10:40. > :10:46.of rehabilitation, 45 years should probably do it, . They were as
:10:47. > :10:52.guilty as each other so thex should have got the same tariff. I think
:10:53. > :10:57.there is always time to consider rehabilitation. The so`calldd Angel
:10:58. > :11:00.of Woolwich says the sentencing is illogical. Others say the khllers
:11:01. > :11:06.got the minimum of what thex deserve.
:11:07. > :11:10.The Mayor has been accused of jeopardising hundreds of jobs by
:11:11. > :11:15.pulling the funding for a ndw scientific research facilitx in East
:11:16. > :11:17.London. Pharmaceutical giant Sanofi has criticised City Hall for
:11:18. > :11:20.refusing a ?15 million loan to safeguard its Dagenham laboratories.
:11:21. > :11:29.Boris Johnson says the projdct wasn't viable. But one formdr Tory
:11:30. > :11:33.minister says he's blown a great opportunity to create jobs. Here's
:11:34. > :11:41.our political editor, Tim Donovan. They stopped production at their
:11:42. > :11:44.Dagenham site last summer btt Sanofi hoped to create a legacy. They
:11:45. > :11:49.wanted to convert this to a research and science Park. City Hall said
:11:50. > :11:54.they were interested, first in taking over the site and thdn
:11:55. > :11:59.lending ?15 million for somdone else but the company says the Maxor
:12:00. > :12:03.pulled out at the last minute. The people of Barking and Dagenham have
:12:04. > :12:06.been let down very badly. This presents a real opportunity for
:12:07. > :12:11.businesses to come in where we have got an existing sterile space. For
:12:12. > :12:16.those visitors took a minutd would cost tens of millions to buhld these
:12:17. > :12:24.facilities. Only a handful of staff remain. These two have workdd here
:12:25. > :12:32.for 30 years between them. Does make you cry. Everyone was like `
:12:33. > :12:39.community here. Everyone kndw each `` everyone knew everyone, there
:12:40. > :12:44.were families and everyone lixed in. Breast cancer drug was one of the
:12:45. > :12:52.success stories. There is anger here for how long it took City H`ll to
:12:53. > :12:56.decide it was not interested. But the Mayor said they had not put a
:12:57. > :13:00.strong enough case. It is always very difficult when you are
:13:01. > :13:03.dispensing tens of millions of pounds of taxpayers' money `nd you
:13:04. > :13:08.have people who say they have got a great scheme and the risk is that
:13:09. > :13:17.you will simply put it into things which do not work. For start`up or
:13:18. > :13:22.established companies... Sanofi s plans have been produced by the same
:13:23. > :13:26.regeneration specialists who successfully transformed thhs former
:13:27. > :13:31.ICI plant in Liverpool. The Mayor says the company have not `` the
:13:32. > :13:37.company say the Mayor have not looked carefully enough will stop it
:13:38. > :13:43.will be an absolute tragedy if this massive facility, a real laboratory
:13:44. > :13:47.space, which could create excellent jobs in East London is finally let
:13:48. > :13:52.go and destroyed. They have been showing local councillors around the
:13:53. > :14:07.labs hoping that other partners can be found to save this as a science
:14:08. > :14:11.facility. Still to come tonhght , let's give it a go, if I get in
:14:12. > :14:14.that's great. Winning prized places at prestigious schools. We speak to
:14:15. > :14:17.the boys leaving newham in search of a better future. And we revdal what
:14:18. > :14:18.happened to the German spies, discovered by a new intelligence
:14:19. > :14:29.service during the First World War. The Lee Valley White Water Centre,
:14:30. > :14:32.which hosted the canoe slalom events at the 2012 Games, has reopdned to
:14:33. > :14:39.the public after ?6 million make over. This summer, where thd British
:14:40. > :14:42.Team is based, will host it's first international competition shnce the
:14:43. > :14:44.Olympics. But as our Sports News Correspondent, Adrian Warner,
:14:45. > :14:54.reports there are some financial challenges ahead.
:14:55. > :14:59.Highland rapids in Hertfordshire. There's no doubt this is thd most
:15:00. > :15:04.spectacular of all of the Olympic venues. 780,000 litres of w`ter
:15:05. > :15:13.pumped down this course every minute, enough to fill 75 b`thtubs.
:15:14. > :15:17.That will give you a big eldctricity bill. It's not just the white water
:15:18. > :15:22.that is the challenge, it is financially challenging as well
:15:23. > :15:25.They are losing money at thd moment, and it could be harder for the
:15:26. > :15:30.centre to survive in the future than other venues at the Olympic Park. It
:15:31. > :15:34.costs ?50 for a session on ` raft here, and acrid temporary hope that
:15:35. > :15:41.corporate days will help thdm make a profit in two years. How much do you
:15:42. > :15:46.have to make to make it work question `` and Lee Valley White
:15:47. > :15:54.Water Centre hope. We are confident we can do it. We just had a year
:15:55. > :15:57.where we had building works, and the operation was severely affected by
:15:58. > :16:02.that, and we were making around ?1.5 million in the year. The buhlding
:16:03. > :16:05.work has included new top`class indoor training facilities for the
:16:06. > :16:08.British team. The course itself is regarded as one of the best in the
:16:09. > :16:12.world, and the Olympians based here think it has the potential to change
:16:13. > :16:18.the future of canoe slalom hn Britain. Canoeing is a minority
:16:19. > :16:22.sport, but it's also a sport that is very recognisable. A lot of people
:16:23. > :16:25.have been exposed to canoeing at some point in their lives, `nd it's
:16:26. > :16:30.just a case of converting a little bit of interest. We are lucky to
:16:31. > :16:37.have the world Championships in 2015 and the World Cup will be a great
:16:38. > :16:40.event before that. We hope that the sport will be seen by peopld in
:16:41. > :16:45.London, and we can show how great a sport it is. That popularitx much to
:16:46. > :16:50.grow to secure the financial future of the centre, but you get the
:16:51. > :16:58.impression that people in this sport can handle troubled waters. London's
:16:59. > :17:00.streets could yet be turned into a Formula One race track after the
:17:01. > :17:03.Government announced a six`week consultation looking into closing
:17:04. > :17:08.roads for motor`sport events. An F1 event in London ten years ago saw
:17:09. > :17:11.thousands turn out. For a r`ce to go ahead it would require an Act of
:17:12. > :17:17.Parliament to suspend speed limits and other safety laws along the
:17:18. > :17:20.length of the route. Football, and tonight's Europa League match at
:17:21. > :17:23.White Hart Lane will also bd a chance for Tottenham fans to bid a
:17:24. > :17:27.final farewell to striker Jdrmain Defoe. Defoe has scored 143 goals in
:17:28. > :17:29.two spells with the club. The England striker is moving to Canada
:17:30. > :17:41.to play for the MLS side Toronto. 15`year`old Ishak Ayiris is about to
:17:42. > :17:44.swap his life on a council dstate in Newham for the hallowed halls of
:17:45. > :17:46.Eton where David Cameron and other British Prime Ministers werd
:17:47. > :17:50.educated. He says Windsor whll be much quieter than Newham but has no
:17:51. > :17:53.intention of abandoning his roots. As Emma North reports, he's one of
:17:54. > :18:05.three pupils from Forest Gate Community School to win a place at a
:18:06. > :18:09.prestigious college. There have been four cases solved through NSA
:18:10. > :18:14.spying. This is no ordinary teenage chat, at least when the camdras are
:18:15. > :18:19.about. These are no ordinarx young men. Three of them will go to Eton,
:18:20. > :18:22.Winchester and City of London respectively, getting past some of
:18:23. > :18:29.the most challenging selecthon processes and education. It boosted
:18:30. > :18:32.my confidence by discussing it with my headteacher, all about ctrrent
:18:33. > :18:35.affairs and my overall confhdence developed, so I thought, yot know
:18:36. > :18:39.what, let me give it a go whll stop if I can get in, that'll be great,
:18:40. > :18:44.if not, I will pick myself tp and move on and I think that's the case
:18:45. > :18:49.of everyone. It all started in October when I had to sit exams in
:18:50. > :18:53.the subjects I was doing at A`level, and then the interviews camd, and I
:18:54. > :18:56.was finally offered it Decelber Their backgrounds are far from
:18:57. > :19:00.privilege. The school they `ttend has a week at an average pupil
:19:01. > :19:05.intake may live the most `` third most deprived borough in thd
:19:06. > :19:10.country. They are the sons of factory workers and single lothers.
:19:11. > :19:13.My parents wanted me to havd a good education. They came from India so
:19:14. > :19:17.they didn't know much about this. They did not know that thesd schools
:19:18. > :19:25.existed, let alone that I would get a plate. I think they represent a
:19:26. > :19:28.lot of children from the East End of London who would love to have this
:19:29. > :19:34.opportunity, but maybe have not been encouraged to apply. I think
:19:35. > :19:39.crossing the boundary, for le, is the big jump. It's really about the
:19:40. > :19:44.aspirations, getting childrdn to believe. With that belief and close
:19:45. > :19:48.help from their headteacher, in September, their surroundings will
:19:49. > :19:52.change from this, to the likes of this, and so will the direction of
:19:53. > :19:55.the rest of their lives. Good luck to them.
:19:56. > :20:00.All this week as part of our World War One at Home series, we've been
:20:01. > :20:03.hearing some of the remarkable stories of London during thd Great
:20:04. > :20:06.War, unearthed in partnershhp with the Imperial War Museums. The
:20:07. > :20:09.conflict led to the formation of a new Secret Intelligence Service the
:20:10. > :20:11.precursor to MI5. Tonight, historian Leonard Sellars reveals what
:20:12. > :20:24.happened to the German spies they caught.
:20:25. > :20:33.My dear ones, I have trusted God and he has decided. My hour has come.
:20:34. > :20:42.Tomorrow I shall be shot in the tower. Those were the last words of
:20:43. > :20:45.the note aureus German spy `` notorious German spy who was
:20:46. > :20:53.executed in the Tower of London on the morning of the 6th of November,
:20:54. > :21:01.1914. His crime, spying. He was the first man to be executed at the
:21:02. > :21:08.tower since 1743. The public were aghast that an enemy of the state
:21:09. > :21:12.had moved among them. For the country was already in the grips of
:21:13. > :21:17.war against Germany, and thd spy had been sent to gather intelligence on
:21:18. > :21:22.the country's defences. On dntering the country, the secret intdlligence
:21:23. > :21:27.service, today's MI5, or already on his tail. `` were already. He was
:21:28. > :21:34.captured and immediately faced trial. He was found guilty `nd
:21:35. > :21:43.sentenced to death by firing squad. A yeoman warder wrote the following
:21:44. > :21:47.about the execution. The prhsoner walked easily and unconcerndd, as if
:21:48. > :21:52.he was walking to a tea party. Then came a queer and pathetic incident.
:21:53. > :21:56.The chaplain, in his nervousness, made to turn left, which was the
:21:57. > :22:00.wrong way. Instantly, spy took a quick step forward, caught the
:22:01. > :22:03.chaplain by the right arm, `nd with a polite and kindly smile, gently
:22:04. > :22:09.guided him to the right, thd correct way. I am meeting Sally Dixon
:22:10. > :22:16.Smith, to look at something fascinating. This is a diarx from a
:22:17. > :22:23.curator here at the tower `` Tower of London. What is amazing here is
:22:24. > :22:30.that in between all of his normal work, all of the executions are
:22:31. > :22:35.noted, so the 6th of Novembdr, 914, German spy, shot in the rifle range
:22:36. > :22:45.at 7am. Some other entries there as well. German spy shot at rifle range
:22:46. > :22:51.at 6am on the 23rd of June 0915 Could you show me where the spies
:22:52. > :22:56.were executed? Of course. It is here where the executions took place Not
:22:57. > :23:00.in the car park, but this is the site where the rifle range was, and
:23:01. > :23:05.this is where he was brought on the morning of his execution and
:23:06. > :23:10.executed by firing squad. So he was the first of 11 spies executed here?
:23:11. > :23:17.A total of 11 executions, nhne of which were in the rifle range, and
:23:18. > :23:22.two were in the moat, which is more executions than under Henry VIII in
:23:23. > :23:26.the walls of the tower. A grisly part of London history painstakingly
:23:27. > :23:32.kept at the National archivd. This lists the 11 prisoners exectted in
:23:33. > :23:40.the tower this is the file for Carl Frederick Muller. We know hd was
:23:41. > :23:43.tried for sending material that was used in invisible ink, and this is
:23:44. > :23:49.the letter with a secret wrhting. One can faintly see his text. It was
:23:50. > :23:56.said that the ink was made from a lemon. And here is the lemon, and
:23:57. > :24:03.this was part of the evidence that was given in court and it ldd to his
:24:04. > :24:10.execution. In all, 11th Gerlan spies were captured and executed `t the
:24:11. > :24:11.tower. They had come to spy for Germany but lost their lives while
:24:12. > :24:19.doing so. Leonard Sellars there. Time for a
:24:20. > :24:22.look at the weather with Elhzabeth Rizzini. Can I say the word spring
:24:23. > :24:29.yet? We can at the end of the wedkend as
:24:30. > :24:32.we are at the end of the meteorological winter and it has
:24:33. > :24:35.been confirmed that it was the wettest on record, and thosd records
:24:36. > :24:40.began over 250 years ago, btt happily spring is at the wedkend,
:24:41. > :24:44.the 1st of March. Unfortunately it's going to turn colder and sole places
:24:45. > :24:48.could see some sleet which we've not seen much of it all so far this
:24:49. > :24:53.winter, but not the widesprdad snow that some of the papers are
:24:54. > :24:57.currently talking about. Thhs is the picture from the radar from earlier.
:24:58. > :25:02.It's not been a bad day. Sunshine, showers around and some of the
:25:03. > :25:05.showers towards the West have turned out to have a bit of thunder and
:25:06. > :25:08.lightning, and we could see some of those tracking in from the West
:25:09. > :25:12.through the rest of the rush hour but then it will turn dry for much
:25:13. > :25:16.of the rest of the night before we start to see this area of r`in and
:25:17. > :25:19.maybe a little bit of snow tracking in from the West in the early hours
:25:20. > :25:23.of tomorrow morning. We might see some sleet and wintry nurse over the
:25:24. > :25:28.tops of the Chilterns on thd north western flank of the system ``
:25:29. > :25:33.winter arenas. But it will `ll fall as rain. It will be a cold night,
:25:34. > :25:38.the area of low pressure sinking southwards and that will brhng
:25:39. > :25:41.outbreaks of rain, swells of rain through the day tomorrow with the
:25:42. > :25:45.risk of a little bit of sledt at times. But only really over the tops
:25:46. > :25:50.of the hills. All in all, a grade, raw feel to the day, a bit of an
:25:51. > :25:54.easterly breeze. It won't fdel very nice. Temperatures six or sdven
:25:55. > :25:58.degrees but only in the drydr slots. Other than that, quite cold. The
:25:59. > :26:02.rain will hang around until the evening and then clear away.
:26:03. > :26:06.Saturday will be a great and cold start, but it should brightdn up in
:26:07. > :26:10.the afternoon and that will be the story for Sunday as well. Not a very
:26:11. > :26:14.nice start, but into the afternoon on Saturday and Sunday we should see
:26:15. > :26:18.brightness and it will feel a little bit more like spring.
:26:19. > :26:23.Let's hope so. Thanks for that. A reminder of the main headlines: New
:26:24. > :26:26.figures show that net migration to the UK in the year to Septelber rose
:26:27. > :26:30.by almost 60,000 to more th`n 200,000. It's fuelled largely by
:26:31. > :26:37.arrivals from the EU ` the number of people coming from Bulgaria and
:26:38. > :26:40.Romania almost tripled. The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has said
:26:41. > :26:43.she wants Britain to remain a strong voice inside the European Union But
:26:44. > :26:46.in an historic address to both Houses of Parliament, she w`rned
:26:47. > :26:54.that she can't promise fund`mental reform. Bankers bonuses havd been
:26:55. > :26:58.criticised after The Royal Bank of Scotland announced it was p`ying
:26:59. > :27:07.nearly ?600 million in bonuses, despite making annual losses of just
:27:08. > :27:11.over ?8 billion. That's it for now. More news at10pm of course `nd on
:27:12. > :27:13.our website. From me and thd team here though, thanks for joining us
:27:14. > :27:16.and have a lovely evening.
