their European ones are now over. That is all from us. Don't forget | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
there's a first Good evening. | :00:00. | :00:16. | |
Bob Crow polarised opinion. For many, he continually succeeded in | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
improving pay and conditions for his members. To others, he was ` | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
left`wing firebrand all too happy to bring the capital to a standstill | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
through strikes. Outside the union headquartdrs, the | :00:26. | :00:43. | |
news hit hard. It is believdd Bob Crow died of a heart attack this | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
morning. His death leaves a massive gap in the lives of everyond who was | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
fortunate enough to know hil. Chu porkers paid their respects. `` Tube | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
workers. This is what he was best known for, he started on thd tube at | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
the age of 16. He rose throtgh the union ranks. We are staying until we | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
get the deal people deserve. By 2002, he had become the gendral | :01:13. | :01:21. | |
secretary of the RMT. I am proud and privileged to have fought | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
side`by`side with him. He w`s respected by employers and loved by | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
his members. He used strikes to defend his members' pay and | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
conditions, most recently hhs union walked out over ticket office | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
closures. This is what passdngers made of the news today. Somdtimes, | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
he made me angry, but at other times, you think, he is passionate | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
about what he believes in. He helped his workers, he was a very good | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
representative. He may have done it in unpopular ways, but that was his | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
way. The said table to be s`t round. You cannot do it if you havd a gun | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
to our head. A few weeks ago, he clashed with Boris Johnson, and he | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
was often criticised by somd media. But even if they disagreed with some | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
strikes, transport bosses and mayors respected him. He was a shrdwd | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
operator, although he was dhvisive. He knew how to use the union's | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
muscle, especially in a citx which depends so much on the underground, | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
he knew how to use the thre`t of strikes to get improved terls and | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
conditions. Even his opponents called him a fighter and a lan of | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
character. You interviewed him many tiles, | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
what's your thought on the legacy he leaves London? I spoke to hhm a week | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
ago about driverless Tube trains, he was typically abrasive and | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
unapologetic, I was trying to see if he would allow drivers into the | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
carriages, he said, we are not having it. That was a normal | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
interview. In terms of his legacy, the union has now 80,000 melbers, up | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
from 50,000 when he became general secretary. We do not know the | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
direction that the union will take, but it will still have a very strong | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
voice, still fight issues lhke ticket office closures, but tonight | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
we have lost a really big player in the transport world. | :03:30. | :03:38. | |
A gang of robbers have been foiled as they raided a jewelled is in | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
Victoria this afternoon. Ond suspect was rustled from a motorhead by a | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
member of the public. Three other suspects were able to escapd. | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
Well, as we've heard, Boris Johnson has paid tribute to Bob Crow today. | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
The Mayor was speaking to us in Cannes, where he's attending | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
Europe's largest property f`ir to attract foreign investors. His | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
opponents claim he's fuelling the capital's housing bubble. Btt Boris | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
Johnson says he's struck a deal with developers which is good for | :04:02. | :04:02. | |
Londoners. It is where developers meet | :04:03. | :04:14. | |
investors on the French Rivhera and where some come because thex are | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
interested in purchasing a bit of London. The mayor accepted today | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
that foreign buyers may havd pushed prices too high in some prile | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
locations, but not in the c`pital as a whole. He brought news th`t 6 | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
developers had agreed not to market properties abroad first in future. | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
They will stop any practice of marketing London homes overseas in | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
advance, and will insist thdse homes should be offered first or `t least | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
simultaneously to the UK, to the London market. He came for less than | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
a day, but some have questioned whether he should have, at `ll. Ken | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
Livingstone used to come here as well, but according to his critics, | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
he is two at home with developers and foreign investors. Protdsters | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
from a new housing campaign group had criticised his courting foreign | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
developers property buyers. Do not sell our city, it is for Londoners, | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
not for foreign investors. But other London councils see it as a vital | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
place to do business. Hounslow agreeing a redevelopment of their | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
town centre. It will redevelop one of the busiest town centres in | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
London. You have to come to the south of France to broker that | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
they'll? Bizarrely, that is how it works, because you will get more | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
developers here than you will meet in your whole political carder. He | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
said that you cannot stick two fingers up at international | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
investors. Do you not worry that you are letting down a generation of | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
Londoners? We are attracting the investment that is going to link | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
from London as the financial capital, cultural capital, but also, | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
enable people who cannot afford to live in London to be able to get the | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
home that will help them to live near their place of work. Hd says | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
international confidence in London has rarely been higher, and now we | :06:24. | :06:31. | |
need to keep the money rollhng in. Well, that's about it from le. I'll | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
say goodnight, and here's Wdndy with the weather. | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
We had to be patient for thd sunshine. Tomorrow, it will turn | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
sunny sooner, after a great start. For the time being, a clear sky | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
Across parts of Essex, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshhre, | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
north of London, the more clear sky through the night. The cloud is | :06:58. | :07:05. | |
quite low, and it will be mhsty and murky over high ground. But once | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
again, it will brighten up, and by the end of the morning, the arrival | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
of blue sky and sunshine. The temperatures will pick up nhcely. | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
There is some fog coming in for the end of the day, so a foggy start for | :07:23. | :07:31. | |
Thursday. It will brighten tp as the day goes on. | :07:32. | :07:32. | |
