:00:13. > :00:15.Good evening. The Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Bernard

:00:16. > :00:18.Hogan`Howe, has tonight received the backing of London's mayor to

:00:19. > :00:22.re`build the reputation of the force. Boris Johnson says the

:00:23. > :00:28.commissioner is right to be ruthless in pursuing all suggestions of past

:00:29. > :00:30.misconduct and corruption. Well, a case in which Scotland Yard has

:00:31. > :00:39.faced those claims of corruption involves the death of Daniel Morgan

:00:40. > :00:43.in south`east London in 1987. His brother has told BBC London he has

:00:44. > :00:50.no faith in the forced to get to the truth of the investigation.

:00:51. > :00:54.The lesson report reveals two police scandals, spying and corruption.

:00:55. > :00:58.Both are linked to police investigations into the murder of

:00:59. > :01:02.Stephen Lawrence. As a further inquiry was announced, the Home

:01:03. > :01:09.Secretary also highlighted another case. The Ellison Review port also

:01:10. > :01:12.refers to the possible links between an allegedly corrupt officer

:01:13. > :01:17.involved in the Stephen Lawrence case and the investigation into the

:01:18. > :01:20.murder of Daniel Morgan. What are the possible links between an

:01:21. > :01:25.allegedly corrupt police officer and the investigation into the murder of

:01:26. > :01:30.Daniel Morgan? That 37`year`old from Wales was a private investigator. In

:01:31. > :01:36.1987, his family claim he was on the verge of exposing police corruption.

:01:37. > :01:38.He was found with an axe in his head in this car park in south`east

:01:39. > :01:44.London. His murder has never been solved. An independent judge let

:01:45. > :01:50.panel of experts is examining claims lease corruption prevented a

:01:51. > :01:54.conviction. The head of the panel 's findings, the Ellison Review port

:01:55. > :02:00.highlights that officers under suspicions of corruption were

:02:01. > :02:03.connected to the Daniel Morgan murder investigation. I believe

:02:04. > :02:06.there was police involvement in the cover`up of my brother's murder. He

:02:07. > :02:14.was very concerned about lease corruption. He was talking to people

:02:15. > :02:19.about it. For nearly three decades, his family have campaigned for

:02:20. > :02:24.whoever killed him to be brought to justice. He was murdered six years

:02:25. > :02:28.before Stephen Lawrence, a murder that has exposed racism, spying and

:02:29. > :02:34.corruption in the force. The Met Police have also admitted that they

:02:35. > :02:39.failed to face up to the corruption in my brother's murder. If this had

:02:40. > :02:45.been dealt with properly at the time, as it deserved to be, then

:02:46. > :02:51.there might have been a completely different outcome in the earlier

:02:52. > :02:56.Lawrence inquiry is. The Home Secretary says she believes the

:02:57. > :03:03.inquiry into Daniel Morgan's murder may reveal more corruption. Time and

:03:04. > :03:08.time again I have tried to place my confidence in the police. It is

:03:09. > :03:16.always another detail you find out. You think, Jesus. If you ask if I

:03:17. > :03:20.have any confidence in the police, I don't. The Met Police say they are

:03:21. > :03:26.devastated by the findings of the Ellison Review port. Now they must

:03:27. > :03:33.rebuild public trust, an overwhelming task as more

:03:34. > :03:36.revelations are likely to emerge `` the Ellison Review. Yesterday, the

:03:37. > :03:38.Home Secretary said there were links between his death and an allegedly

:03:39. > :03:42.corrupt Metropolitan Police detective involved in the Lawrence

:03:43. > :03:45.case. A worker has been killed at one of

:03:46. > :03:49.the Crossrail construction sites in Central London. The man who was 43

:03:50. > :03:52.sustained head injuries in a tunnel at Holborn early this morning when a

:03:53. > :03:55.piece of concrete fell on him. It's the first fatality on the project

:03:56. > :03:57.which is due to finish in four years' time.

:03:58. > :04:00.In a world first, London's streets are to get what's called intelligent

:04:01. > :04:03.pedestrian crossings. They can detect how many people are waiting

:04:04. > :04:05.to cross a road and then change the lights accordingly. Here's our

:04:06. > :04:07.transport correspondent, Tom Edwards.

:04:08. > :04:11.They are usually busy and crowded, and sometimes cueing means it can be

:04:12. > :04:19.a rush to get across the capital's roads safely. Do you feel rushed?

:04:20. > :04:28.They did not give you enough time? It could be longer. I do not ever

:04:29. > :04:36.access it until it says go across. You have got to get the timing

:04:37. > :04:43.right? Yes. This is the latest idea. If there is a crowd, smart

:04:44. > :04:48.traffic lights can lengthen the crossing time. As we understand more

:04:49. > :04:53.about the pedestrians, we can balance it with the traffic. A more

:04:54. > :04:57.even split between getting people across the road and moving the

:04:58. > :05:03.traffic efficiently. Traffic lights have come a long way. In the 1930s,

:05:04. > :05:10.this is what greeted pedestrians. Now they use cameras. This

:05:11. > :05:13.technology originated in the supermarkets where it was used to

:05:14. > :05:18.track the movements of customers. This is a world first. What happens

:05:19. > :05:24.in London is often copied around the world. Eventually, the system will

:05:25. > :05:28.be able to keep lights green for motorists if a pedestrian pushes the

:05:29. > :05:35.button and walks away. Will it mean longer waits for drivers?

:05:36. > :05:39.Potentially. But that would be in a scenario where it would be a fair

:05:40. > :05:47.outcome. If you have 200 people waiting to cross the road, it would

:05:48. > :05:52.not be fair for the two people in cars to hold them up. The trial

:05:53. > :05:57.starts in the summer. It is all part of using technology to try and get

:05:58. > :05:59.more capacity out of the capital's roads.

:06:00. > :06:02.For years passengers have seen the former Eurostar platforms at

:06:03. > :06:05.Waterloo standing empty. But from May, they'll be back in regular use.

:06:06. > :06:08.Today, the first of a fleet of refurbished trains departed on a

:06:09. > :06:11.demonstration run to Berkshire. More than 100 extra carriages will be

:06:12. > :06:16.introduced over the next year, allowing thousands of extra

:06:17. > :06:20.passengers to travel at peak times. Every platform at Waterloo requires

:06:21. > :06:24.to be used at 100% in the morning and evening peak times. If anything

:06:25. > :06:29.goes wrong, it has a big impact on passengers and trains. By having a

:06:30. > :06:34.spare platform, by having a little bit more capacity, it allows us to

:06:35. > :06:37.provide a bit more resilience. That's it from me for tonight. We'll

:06:38. > :06:39.be back with the weekend news tomorrow afternoon. But now the

:06:40. > :06:48.weather forecast from Sara. Another beautiful day in prospect

:06:49. > :06:51.for tomorrow and right the way through the weekend. There is no

:06:52. > :06:57.rain in the forecast for the next few days. We will have plenty of

:06:58. > :07:01.sunshine. Quite a bit of cloud around first thing tomorrow morning.

:07:02. > :07:05.It is short lived. By the middle part of the morning, it is pulling

:07:06. > :07:12.off nicely. Nice sunshine for the rest of the afternoon. We will do it

:07:13. > :07:17.all again on Sunday too. Plenty of sunshine. A bit of a chilly start

:07:18. > :07:21.first thing. We will continue with the sunshine and it could be even

:07:22. > :07:30.warmer as we go through. Something like 17, maybe 18 degrees. More on

:07:31. > :07:37.that in just a few minutes with the National forecast. London's outlook,

:07:38. > :07:42.plenty of sunshine. Hello. You have got to love the

:07:43. > :07:46.British weather. For a time this afternoon, it felt like we had

:07:47. > :07:49.skipped ahead a couple of months as temperatures reached 17 degrees

:07:50. > :07:52.across parts of southern England. That is the average for the middle

:07:53. > :08:00.of May. Across Scotland, stepping back into winter. Snow flurries in

:08:01. > :08:03.Edinburgh. It is going to change back the other way as we going to

:08:04. > :08:16.the weekend. This weather front is set to push north taking Miles right

:08:17. > :08:19.across the UK. -- mild air. Some fog on the leading edge across southern

:08:20. > :08:26.counties of England. That will lift as the wind freshens. The cold air

:08:27. > :08:33.will give way across Scotland and bring snow. By 9am Saturday morning,

:08:34. > :08:34.it is just rain. They wet start to the day. Some shelter around
