:00:00. > :00:16.there's a first Good evening.
:00:17. > :00:19.Bob Crow polarised opinion. For many, he continually succeeded in
:00:20. > :00:23.improving pay and conditions for his members. To others, he was `
:00:24. > :00:25.left`wing firebrand all too happy to bring the capital to a standstill
:00:26. > :00:43.through strikes. Outside the union headquartdrs, the
:00:44. > :00:48.news hit hard. It is believdd Bob Crow died of a heart attack this
:00:49. > :00:53.morning. His death leaves a massive gap in the lives of everyond who was
:00:54. > :01:00.fortunate enough to know hil. Chu porkers paid their respects. `` Tube
:01:01. > :01:05.workers. This is what he was best known for, he started on thd tube at
:01:06. > :01:12.the age of 16. He rose throtgh the union ranks. We are staying until we
:01:13. > :01:21.get the deal people deserve. By 2002, he had become the gendral
:01:22. > :01:25.secretary of the RMT. I am proud and privileged to have fought
:01:26. > :01:31.side`by`side with him. He w`s respected by employers and loved by
:01:32. > :01:35.his members. He used strikes to defend his members' pay and
:01:36. > :01:39.conditions, most recently hhs union walked out over ticket office
:01:40. > :01:44.closures. This is what passdngers made of the news today. Somdtimes,
:01:45. > :01:52.he made me angry, but at other times, you think, he is passionate
:01:53. > :01:58.about what he believes in. He helped his workers, he was a very good
:01:59. > :02:05.representative. He may have done it in unpopular ways, but that was his
:02:06. > :02:11.way. The said table to be s`t round. You cannot do it if you havd a gun
:02:12. > :02:16.to our head. A few weeks ago, he clashed with Boris Johnson, and he
:02:17. > :02:22.was often criticised by somd media. But even if they disagreed with some
:02:23. > :02:28.strikes, transport bosses and mayors respected him. He was a shrdwd
:02:29. > :02:33.operator, although he was dhvisive. He knew how to use the union's
:02:34. > :02:37.muscle, especially in a citx which depends so much on the underground,
:02:38. > :02:43.he knew how to use the thre`t of strikes to get improved terls and
:02:44. > :02:45.conditions. Even his opponents called him a fighter and a lan of
:02:46. > :02:48.character. You interviewed him many tiles,
:02:49. > :02:56.what's your thought on the legacy he leaves London? I spoke to hhm a week
:02:57. > :03:00.ago about driverless Tube trains, he was typically abrasive and
:03:01. > :03:03.unapologetic, I was trying to see if he would allow drivers into the
:03:04. > :03:10.carriages, he said, we are not having it. That was a normal
:03:11. > :03:15.interview. In terms of his legacy, the union has now 80,000 melbers, up
:03:16. > :03:20.from 50,000 when he became general secretary. We do not know the
:03:21. > :03:26.direction that the union will take, but it will still have a very strong
:03:27. > :03:29.voice, still fight issues lhke ticket office closures, but tonight
:03:30. > :03:38.we have lost a really big player in the transport world.
:03:39. > :03:42.A gang of robbers have been foiled as they raided a jewelled is in
:03:43. > :03:46.Victoria this afternoon. Ond suspect was rustled from a motorhead by a
:03:47. > :03:49.member of the public. Three other suspects were able to escapd.
:03:50. > :03:52.Well, as we've heard, Boris Johnson has paid tribute to Bob Crow today.
:03:53. > :03:55.The Mayor was speaking to us in Cannes, where he's attending
:03:56. > :03:57.Europe's largest property f`ir to attract foreign investors. His
:03:58. > :04:01.opponents claim he's fuelling the capital's housing bubble. Btt Boris
:04:02. > :04:02.Johnson says he's struck a deal with developers which is good for
:04:03. > :04:14.Londoners. It is where developers meet
:04:15. > :04:17.investors on the French Rivhera and where some come because thex are
:04:18. > :04:23.interested in purchasing a bit of London. The mayor accepted today
:04:24. > :04:26.that foreign buyers may havd pushed prices too high in some prile
:04:27. > :04:32.locations, but not in the c`pital as a whole. He brought news th`t 6
:04:33. > :04:37.developers had agreed not to market properties abroad first in future.
:04:38. > :04:41.They will stop any practice of marketing London homes overseas in
:04:42. > :04:46.advance, and will insist thdse homes should be offered first or `t least
:04:47. > :04:53.simultaneously to the UK, to the London market. He came for less than
:04:54. > :04:57.a day, but some have questioned whether he should have, at `ll. Ken
:04:58. > :05:03.Livingstone used to come here as well, but according to his critics,
:05:04. > :05:08.he is two at home with developers and foreign investors. Protdsters
:05:09. > :05:15.from a new housing campaign group had criticised his courting foreign
:05:16. > :05:22.developers property buyers. Do not sell our city, it is for Londoners,
:05:23. > :05:27.not for foreign investors. But other London councils see it as a vital
:05:28. > :05:32.place to do business. Hounslow agreeing a redevelopment of their
:05:33. > :05:36.town centre. It will redevelop one of the busiest town centres in
:05:37. > :05:42.London. You have to come to the south of France to broker that
:05:43. > :05:46.they'll? Bizarrely, that is how it works, because you will get more
:05:47. > :05:51.developers here than you will meet in your whole political carder. He
:05:52. > :05:59.said that you cannot stick two fingers up at international
:06:00. > :06:04.investors. Do you not worry that you are letting down a generation of
:06:05. > :06:07.Londoners? We are attracting the investment that is going to link
:06:08. > :06:14.from London as the financial capital, cultural capital, but also,
:06:15. > :06:18.enable people who cannot afford to live in London to be able to get the
:06:19. > :06:23.home that will help them to live near their place of work. Hd says
:06:24. > :06:31.international confidence in London has rarely been higher, and now we
:06:32. > :06:34.need to keep the money rollhng in. Well, that's about it from le. I'll
:06:35. > :06:39.say goodnight, and here's Wdndy with the weather.
:06:40. > :06:47.We had to be patient for thd sunshine. Tomorrow, it will turn
:06:48. > :06:53.sunny sooner, after a great start. For the time being, a clear sky
:06:54. > :06:57.Across parts of Essex, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshhre,
:06:58. > :07:05.north of London, the more clear sky through the night. The cloud is
:07:06. > :07:11.quite low, and it will be mhsty and murky over high ground. But once
:07:12. > :07:16.again, it will brighten up, and by the end of the morning, the arrival
:07:17. > :07:22.of blue sky and sunshine. The temperatures will pick up nhcely.
:07:23. > :07:31.There is some fog coming in for the end of the day, so a foggy start for
:07:32. > :07:32.Thursday. It will brighten tp as the day goes on.
