England. In a BBC exclusive, Claire tonight. That is all from us, we can | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
now join the BBC News teams where you are. Tonight on BBC London News: | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
The victims of a serial rapist win the right to sue The Met Police for | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
failures in the investigation. It is clear now that it was not my | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
fault, it was the fault of the police. The blame is laid at their | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
feet, not mine. The ruling could have implications | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
on how all police forces investigate sexual assaults. | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
Also tonight: London detectives in an international crackdown on | :00:30. | :00:38. | |
financial fraudsters. It will be an all`out war. We will | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
be meeting with our comrades shortly and we will be running a joint | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
campaign. We are not having drivers of the trains. | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
The prospect of more Tube strikes after a warning from union leaders | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
over driverless trains. It treated thousands of First World | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
War soldiers ` the story of the London military hospital run | :00:56. | :00:56. | |
entirely by women. Good evening and welcome to the | :00:57. | :01:12. | |
programme. Victims of a serial rapist have won | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
the right to sue The Met Police for failing to investigate their attacks | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
properly. For six years, taxi driver John Worboys carried out a string of | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
sexual assaults. It's believed he attacked more than 100 women. Today, | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
the High Court ruled that two of his victims can sue police for | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
compensation. The decision could have implications for all police | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
forces in the UK, as our political correspondent Karl Mercer reports. | :01:38. | :01:46. | |
For years, John Worboys would pick up women in his black cab, then make | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
up a story about a gambling win and ask them to share a drink with him. | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
But the drinks were drugged and it is believed he went on to rape or | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
assault over 100 women. He is now behind bars, jailed indefinitely, | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
but the case remains a difficult one for the Metropolitan Police. It | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
failed time and again to stop Worboys. I remember him pulling over | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
and getting into the back of the cab with me, and that's all I remember | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
until I woke up in hospital the next morning. The words of one of his | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
victims, who with another woman, won a judgement against The Met under | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
the human rights act. The judge, Mr Justice Green, said he had | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
identified a series of systemic failings which went to the heart of | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
the failure of the police to apprehend Worboys and cut short his | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
five or six years free of violent attacks. Among the shortcomings, he | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
said failures to interview vital witnesses, to collect key evidence, | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
to follow up on CCTV, to prepare properly for interviews. The fact | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
that he dropped me at the police station, unconscious, and nobody had | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
even bothered to take his details, was quite shocking to me and I was | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
quite upset. I asked them, did you get his name, his registration | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
number, any details from him? They admitted they had not taken details | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
from him. The judgement will mean compensation for these women but | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
could also have they given occasions for the police in future. One of the | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
issues about this case is police response ability and liability and | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
where is the boundary in relation to that. Obviously, the judgement has | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
been issued and we need to go away and think about that judgement, | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
understand the implications, may be wider than London and wider than | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
rape, and then decide a course of action. It is possible The Met will | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
appeal the decision. Scotland Yard did apologise again to the victims | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
of John Worboys that it let down so badly. | :03:45. | :03:45. | |
The BBC's legal affairs correspondent Clive Coleman joins me | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
now. And, Clive, I gather the implications of this ruling could be | :03:50. | :03:57. | |
quite far reaching? They could be. The law used to be that the police | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
did not owe members of the public and actionable duty of care. You | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
could not sue them as a victim of crime. This judgement shows how the | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
human rights act has changed that. Under Article three of the human | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
rights act the judge has found that the police do over victims a duty of | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
care, in particularly serious, violent cases, to carry out a timely | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
and efficient investigation. In this case, the judge found there were | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
systemic errors which, instead of stopping John Worboys, allowed his | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
offending to go on for some six years. So the real indication of | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
this is not that anyone who feels they are on the receiving end of a | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
failing in a police investigation can bring action for damages, but | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
certainly people who feel they were a victim of a serious or a sexual | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
crime where there were systemic errors within the police | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
investigation, now they can bring an action for damages, whereas | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
previously they couldn't. That could open up the floodgates, perhaps, but | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
certainly it could open up the opportunity for other victims to | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
come forward and bring actions against the police. That, I think, | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
is why they are saying they have to think about this judgement very | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
carefully. Thank you very much. More to come, including: we have | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
gone into the record books, for Great Britain are the Olympic | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
champions. Why this Olympic gold medallist is | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
returning to his east London roots where he learnt his sport. | :05:24. | :05:35. | |
It is being described as one of the biggest ever crackdowns on financial | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
fraudsters. City of London Police and agencies worldwide have carried | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
out raids on gangs who tricked people into investing in worthless | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
or nonexistent schemes. 110 people have been arrested as part of an | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
international investigation. This report contains flash photography. | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
On a quiet street in the centre of Barcelona, Spain's elite Serious | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
Crime Unit target a scam which has ruined thousands of lives and cost | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
victims millions of pounds. This team is working with colleagues from | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
the City of London's Financial Crimes Unit. The office block is the | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
base for what they believe is a boiler room, and the raid is one | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
fragment of an operation which extends across Europe and beyond. | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
There are 300 Spanish officers deployed across their country, and | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
there are further arrests taking place in the UK, the United States | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
and Serbia. The City of London force, which has 40 officers in | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
Barcelona, says it is the biggest deployment it has ever made in | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
pursuit of a fraud investigation. Boiler room scams involve | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
individuals cold calling and using high`pressure sales techniques to | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
persuade victims to buy into bogus investments. Most never see their | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
money again. I received a call from a very enthusiastic young man who | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
excited me, because I was thinking about investing and he was talking | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
about carbon credits, which I had not heard about. He sent me loads of | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
literature, told me a lot about it, was very knowledgeable, and I | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
foolishly trusted him. And I did borrow money out of my house. The | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
City of London force has played a major part in this crackdown. The | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
aim, they say, is to decimate boiler room fraud, by arresting what they | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
termed "tier one criminals", who are living well on the suffering of | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
others. Luxury cars, personal possessions and cash have been | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
seized. This is a crime that ignores global boundaries. It ignores | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
international borders and operates right across the world. What we have | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
shown is that we are able to do that as well. This scam has not been | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
eradicated but the operation will offer reassurance to victims and | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
severely damage the boiler room's ability to operate. | :08:04. | :08:12. | |
A burglar who stabbed a pensioner 22 times has been sentenced to life in | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
prison at the Old Bailey. Aaron Da Silva murdered Joseph Griffiths | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
after the 72`year`old discovered him trying to burgle his home. The Old | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
Bailey heard he had more than 30 convictions at the time of the | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
attack and will serve a minimum of 32 years. | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
A former Tube station that was used as a Second World War command centre | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
has been sold for ?53 million. The Brompton Road Tube station near | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
Harrods, which was originally valued at around ?20 million, served as the | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
headquarters of the anti`aircraft division during the Second World | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
War. Campaigners had argued that the site should be restored but it's now | :08:45. | :08:54. | |
expected to be turned into flats. A main route out of south`west | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
London will be closed all weekend after a burst water pipe caused | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
flooding overnight. Drivers are being told to avoid crap Road in | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
Kennington between Oval and Stockwell Tube stations. Thames | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
Water has denied reports that the water contains sewage and says | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
engineers are on site to make the roads safer. Many of the pipes have | :09:14. | :09:22. | |
been around since Victorian times. Some of them are coming to the end | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
of their useful life. We are investing about ?1 billion per year | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
in replacing water mains, we cannot dig up everywhere all at once so it | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
has to be a phased approach. The parents of a five`month`old boy who | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
died of have been jailed. The Old Bailey heard that they neglected | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
their baby son was a medical care because of their religious beliefs. | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
Chris Rogers is outside the court. What more can you tell us? In court, | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
this was described as a tragic case, not of child abuse but missed | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
judgement, born out of the extreme religious beliefs of the parents. | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
They both pleaded guilty to manslaughter. They were both | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
followers of the seventh`day Adventist Church, which encourages a | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
strict feed on diet, which can lead to vitamin D deficiency. Their son | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
was born very underweight and very ill. Both his parents had the strong | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
belief that God guided them on all matters, including health. They | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
refused the advice of care professionals and relatives to seek | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
medical assistance, even in the final hours of their son's death. | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
The Adventist church said their religious views are the most extreme | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
they have come across. In a statement, they said having strong | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
health and wellness focus, the church delivers regular health | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
presentations and training to church members and the wider community. | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
Adventist health professionals would always advise church members to seek | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
and listen to members `` medical advice. What more do we know about | :10:58. | :11:07. | |
the condition of the baby boy? The coroner found that because of | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
vitamin D deficiency, he had Ricketts disease, which weakens the | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
bones and can lead to horrific internal injuries. Experts are | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
warning that Ricketts is making a comeback, but not because of | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
religion, because of lifestyle. I would not say we have concerns about | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
religions, but all parents need to give their children and adequate | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
diet. Whatever the family's religious beliefs, we have to make | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
sure that somehow the child gets enough calcium and vitamins D and | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
all of the other nutrients that children require. The central issue | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
for Mr Justice Sweeney to consider was whether the parents of the boy | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
would have sought medical advice if they had known it was a matter of | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
life and death, because for the first few days of his life there son | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
was in a special care centre. But he was not tested for vitamin deed | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
efficiency and was not diagnosed with Ricketts disease. The father | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
got three years, his wife got two years and three months in jail. The | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
council have announced a serious case review, looking into whether | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
all the agencies, including the NHS and social services, could have done | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
more to save the life of this baby. Thank you. | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
Rail unions are threatening to "go to war" over plans to introduce | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
driverless Tube trains. Transport bosses have begun the process of | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
searching for a supplier to build the next generation of automated | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
trains, which it says will be more reliable. But the unions claim | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
they'd be less safe. Tom Edwards reports. | :12:38. | :12:47. | |
Trouble is brewing again on the Tube. Today, bosses took the first | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
step in buying fully automated trains. Eventually, it could mean no | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
cab and a member of staff in the carriage. It is a great idea. The | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
fewer people employed to strike, the better. Technology can go down and | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
then everybody would have to stand still, as we saw with the Tube | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
strike. The Docklands Light Railway is already automated and trains on | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
the Jubilee are semiautomated. The driver operates the doors but can | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
strip `` switch to manual if there is a problem. Fully automated trains | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
could deliver more capacity. Automated driving is so much more | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
efficient. You get more consistent performance and improve the | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
capacity. He reduced maintenance costs. In Paris, they have some | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
automated lines and it took years of negotiation with workers. Here, both | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
unions say the cab has to stay. There would be all`out war. We | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
believe there should be a driver on the front of the train. With the | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
amount of people that use London Underground, there is an argument | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
for a guard as well as a driver. This person who is going to be on | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
the train, just imagine an individual with a uniform on, what | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
are you going to do? It is standing room only. If an incident takes | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
place, are they to walk through the carriages, going round all the | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
people? Are they to drive the train if it breaks down? It is a | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
nonsense. London Underground says this is the beginning of a long | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
process. We could have no cabs and staff in the carriage on the | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
Piccadilly line, you are saying? We could, but we have ten years to go | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
through the process of working out how to operate the trains, talking | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
to staff, trade unions and customers. Do you think it would be | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
safe? We would never do anything that was not safe to operate on the | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
Underground. Plans are years away, but the new train is bound to be at | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
flash point in already fractious industrial relations. Still to come: | :14:49. | :15:17. | |
ahead of the relegation struggle let's get the weekend sport now with | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
Sara Orchard and there's a top versus bottom West London Derby | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
tomorrow. Yes, thanks, Alice, Fulham against Chelsea, and last week Felix | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
Magath was named the new Fulham manager. One of his first decisions | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
in the job was to cancel the players' day off last Sunday ` not | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
the Premier League player pampering we're used to hearing about. The | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
60`year`old German is charged with saving the club from relegation and | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
has quite a fearsome reputation and I've been finding out more about Mr | :15:44. | :15:51. | |
Magat. Fulham are at the bottom of the Premier League table and with | :15:52. | :15:59. | |
the cost of relegation being estimated at ?40 million, the club | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
called on a colourful and controversial manager... Felix | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
Magath. Since his unveiling, stories of his previous coaching style have | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
been publicised. There are stories of water bottles being emptied on | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
hot summer days. Foreign players were told that they would not make | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
the team unless they improved their language skills. Are the story is | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
true? Yes, they probably are. Do not make the mistake and see him as a | :16:32. | :16:39. | |
true instructor. His training is hard but the fitness is the basis | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
for success. Whatever madness is to his methods, he has never been | :16:45. | :16:51. | |
relegated and gets results. He has won league and cup titles in 2005 | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
and 2006. By 2009, he had won her third title as manager. Tomorrow he | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
goes head to head with Jose Mourinho. At a press conference | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
today, Felix Magath compared his success to similar as that of Jose | :17:08. | :17:20. | |
Mourinho's. We want to get the crowd behind us. With 11 games to save | :17:21. | :17:28. | |
Fulham, this man knows the cost of staying in the league. The Premier | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
League is a cash cow. Because of that, we have to do is stay there. | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
It is easier to stay there than going into a lower division and | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
attempting to come up. If Felix Magath keeps us up, then Glory be. | :17:47. | :17:56. | |
Go, Felix Magath! Good luck to them. Now to Columbia and the World Track | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
Cycling Championships where there's been more success for two London | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
riders. Olympic Champions Laura Trott and Joanna Rowsell won gold | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
for Great Britain in the team pursuit. The win is their sixth | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
world title in seven attempts, and although they have welcomed new | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
members to the team they're happy the result remains golden. I think | :18:11. | :18:20. | |
we have done very well. It took a bit of getting used to and learning | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
it and learning how each other right but we are the world champions now! | :18:25. | :18:32. | |
Next ` he's an Olympic Gold Medallist ` but now rower Mark | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
Hunter, here on the left, is returning to his East End roots. | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
Since retiring from the sport he's got a new job ` inspiring the next | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
generation to take to the water. Emma Jones went along on his first | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
day to see how he got on. Mark Hunter became an Olympic gold | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
medallist in Beijing. We have gone into the record books! Great Britain | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
are the Olympic champions and it sounds fantastic! He is best | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
remembered for his heartache of not matching that here in London. We | :19:03. | :19:12. | |
wanted to win so badly. I am sorry to everyone we have left down `` let | :19:13. | :19:20. | |
down. Now he is back in a boat where it all began, teaching others about | :19:21. | :19:28. | |
the lows and highs of the sport. To come back and share my experiences | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
and bring the next generation into the sport is great. Mark's dad got | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
him into a boat and now with his new job he has the chance to inspire | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
hundreds of schoolchildren across London with all abilities. While his | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
new role is not about finding the next Olympic champion, it sounds | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
like he has given some of his new pupils a taste of what they might | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
achieve. It definitely makes me want to aim higher and work harder, and | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
all of the hours he shares with us, it is inspiring. To feel his gold | :20:06. | :20:13. | |
medal and have it in my hands is an amazing experience and means if you | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
work hard and put the effort in, one day that could be you. Day one seems | :20:19. | :20:29. | |
to have been a success. It looks like he is doing pretty | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
well. That's all the sport, back to you, Alice. | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
All week, our World War One At Home Series in partnership with the | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
Imperial War Museums has retold some of the most extraordinary accounts | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
from around the capital, to mark a hundred years since the start of the | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
First World War. Today, the story of the women who ran the Endell Street | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
Military Hospital in Covent Garden. Dr Jennian Geddes has their | :20:54. | :21:05. | |
remarkable tale. I am a retired doctor and amateur historian and I | :21:06. | :21:13. | |
have been researching the work of doctors in the hospital that they | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
ran in Covent Garden from 1915 to 1919. We are here because this site | :21:18. | :21:26. | |
was the site of a World War I hospital, a British army hospital | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
run and staffed entirely by women and it was known as the Endell | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
Street Military Hospital. You can see on the sign behind me the | :21:41. | :21:54. | |
deeds. The nurses had been very active in the suffragette movement | :21:55. | :22:02. | |
before the war. They were invited to set up the hospital by the Royal | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
Army medical Corps and over the next few years they treated 24,000 | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
soldiers. For many of the women, most important thing was not just to | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
do the patriotic duty and their country, but proved they were as | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
capable as doing it `` at doing it as the men. The library collection | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
here includes a number of articles relating to the hospital. In January | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
1915, in this lovely photo, you can see the staff. There were 15 | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
doctors, most of them visiting consultants. There are 36 nurses in | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
the row behind, and the few men in this photo were quickly replaced by | :22:46. | :22:53. | |
women. Setting up to this `` this hospital was very important to | :22:54. | :22:55. | |
Marian Anderson but it produced enormous challenges. A lot of people | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
would be sceptical about how this could ever possibly work. Girls | :23:03. | :23:10. | |
running a hospital? The idea that they could treat not just men were | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
men who had been damaged through military action, the fact that they | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
could deal with that was not recognised. In point of fact, they | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
proved the doubters wrong. It was described as one `` by one patient | :23:27. | :23:34. | |
as the best hospital in London. The hospital was a resounding success | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
but when the war ended, the men returned from the front`line, and | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
the male doctors expected to get the jobs. Women found themselves with | :23:43. | :23:50. | |
restricted job opportunities, like they had before the war. Jennian | :23:51. | :24:00. | |
Geddas there. And you can learn more about all the stories in our World | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
War One series at the website. Some people were lucky enough to witness | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
the Northern Lights last night, any chance of it happening again, | :24:09. | :24:09. | |
Elizabeth? people were lucky enough to witness | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
the Northern Lights last night, Yes, they were lucky last night in part | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
of Essex. No, there is no chance. The solar storm has finished and it | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
will be too cloudy and wet, not good visibility. It is horrible outside | :24:24. | :24:30. | |
at the moment but if you are fed up with this soggy winter then there is | :24:31. | :24:37. | |
better news for the weekend. Spring starts tomorrow but it will still | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
feel quite chilly. There will be some brightness as well. Some good | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
spells of sunshine and the best they will be Saturday, rather than | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
Sunday. It has been an odd day of weather today. We have this | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
low`pressure sinking southwards and it is bringing swirls of rain roof. | :24:57. | :25:05. | |
`` through. Temperatures in high Wycombe are no higher than three | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
degrees but in the South it's is eight degrees. There will be rain | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
for everybody through the rest of this evening's rush hour, and it | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
will clear way to the South East. It will leave a mostly dry second half | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
of the night. Some drizzle over the Thames estuary. The lowest | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
temperatures around freezing with some patchy fog and frost. It will | :25:31. | :25:38. | |
be a cloudy start for Saturday. Tomorrow, despite the cloud | :25:39. | :25:40. | |
initially, things will brighten up nicely. There will be good spells of | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
sunshine and temperatures will reach between eight and 10 degrees. It is | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
not going to be a bad day at all. Unfortunately, things will change a | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
little bit for Sunday. It will be cold on Saturday night and then the | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
cloud will spread in from the west, and there will be outbreaks of | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
drizzle. It could feel quite chilly for the first part of the night. | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
This weather front pushes in on Sunday and it will drag its heels | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
until the evening when we will start to see the rain. A rather cloudy day | :26:15. | :26:23. | |
but temperatures coming up somewhat. Unfortunately, low`pressure across | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
the UK means it will be showery and breezy. Perhaps a little bit of | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
spring warmth by the middle of the week. Thank you very much. The main | :26:33. | :26:42. | |
news headlines now... Tensions have escalated in Ukraine after it | :26:43. | :26:44. | |
accused Russia of seizing two airports and blockading a port. | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
Armed guards are now patrolling to airports in the Crimea. Serial | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
killer Joanne Dennehy has been sentenced to life in jail without | :26:54. | :26:56. | |
parole for murdering three men and attempting to kill two others. The | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
judge described her as "a cruel, calculating, selfish and | :27:00. | :27:01. | |
manipulative serial killer". Badger culls aimed at preventing the spread | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
of TB in cattle were "ineffective and inhumane". That's according to | :27:05. | :27:06. | |
the government's own report, which found far fewer badgers were killed | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
than intended. Two victims of serial rapist John Warboys have won the | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
right to sue the Met Police for failing to investigate their attacks | :27:18. | :27:19. | |
properly. It's believed the taxi driver assaulted more than a hundred | :27:20. | :27:27. | |
women over six years. City of London Police and agencies worldwide have | :27:28. | :27:30. | |
arrested 20 people in the UK after carrying out a series on raids on | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
gangs who trick people into investing in worthless or | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
nonexistent schemes. That's it. I'll be back later during the Ten O'Clock | :27:38. | :27:40. | |
News, but for now from everyone on the team have a lovely evening. | :27:41. | :27:42. | |
Goodbye. | :27:43. | :27:47. |
