That's all from the BBC News at Six - on BBC One we now | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
` on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Tonight on BBC London News. Rebuilding trust in our police. The | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
Met looks set to replicate an idea that's worked in the States. I'm in | :00:13. | :00:20. | |
Southern California, where complaints against the police have | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
dropped dramatically. It's apparently because of this. A small | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
camera which could soon be used by officers on the streets of London. | :00:28. | :00:37. | |
Also coming up on the programme. The Mayor of Tower Hamlets denies he's | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
given funding to charities to gain electoral support. Why you're never | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
too posh for pebble`dash. The ?2 million home where the owner's been | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
ordered to restore the 20s`style frontage. Plus... The stars of Noah | :00:48. | :00:55. | |
come to London two by two. We're live at the premiere with Russell | :00:56. | :00:56. | |
Crowe and Ray Winstone. Good evening. We start tonight with | :00:57. | :01:12. | |
an issue that's been a constant source of concern for Met, | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
especially in light of the recent scandals of spying and corruption. | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
How do the police gain the trust of the Londoners they serve? Well, | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
could the US have the answer? From next month, the Met will begin the | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
largest ever trial of body cameras ` a tactic which has helped boost | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
confidence in the States. They were piloted on firearms officers after | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
the inquest into the fatal shooting of Mark Duggan by police in | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
Tottenham. 500 officers in 900 boroughs will take part. This report | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
from our home affairs correspondent, Guy Smith. | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
Rialto, just outside Los Angeles. A sleepy city where you'd think that | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
much happens. But you'd be surprised. I want to see your hands, | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
both of you. This is all being recorded by officers wearing video | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
cameras. You can see and hear what's happening. All the way up. Here in | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
Southern California, they carried out an experiment. All officers in | :02:04. | :02:11. | |
the Rialto Police Department were equipped with these small cameras. | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
They were told to systematically record every interaction they had | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
with the public over a year. The study looked at whether officers' | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
behaviour changed when they became aware they were being observed. We | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
had a drop in use of force instances of about 60% and a decrease in | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
officer complaints of about 88%. That's huge. It's quite a bit more | :02:34. | :02:44. | |
than we anticipated. I'm very happy it did happen that way. And the | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
Chief of Police is also happy that force isn't used too often hear in | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
Rialto. Step out, keep your hands where I can see them. Just showing | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
their weapons is usually enough. Every uniformed officer is assigned | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
one of these right now. This is a camera, it's pretty small, very | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
light weight. It has the lens and storage system in it. It also has a | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
small microphone and speaker system in to let the officers know the tone | :03:08. | :03:16. | |
is audible that they are recording. The greatest benefit for me is it | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
shows what we're doing in real time. It's a documentation of our | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
actions. It is recorded, its video, it's indisputable. And apparently it | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
keeps officers on their best behaviour. It makes me more aware of | :03:32. | :03:40. | |
what I'm doing and that someone is watching. Where do you work? The | :03:41. | :03:50. | |
tinted windows are also illegal. But today is your lucky day, Mr Wright. | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
I'm just going to give you an advisable. Corporal Gary Cunningham | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
has been a cop a long time. In my 25 years, yes, I fought with people and | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
done a lot of stuff. Now with this, if you are used to having it on you, | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
you are going to make sure you do everything by the book. It's just | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
like having an eyewitness on you. Yet not everyone is so convinced. | :04:14. | :04:24. | |
They really `` raise real privacy concerns. The day that most people | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
interact with the police isn't their best day. Police can use their | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
authority to pull over cars, enter homes and when they are filming at | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
the same time, filming people in vulnerable situations, that raises | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
real concerns if that video is regulated. `` unregulated. This | :04:37. | :04:48. | |
video is from the officer's point of view. It clearly provides evidence | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
that could later be used in court. It is something London will be | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
testing next month. 500 bobbies on the beat will be using them in nine | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
boroughs. Yet another high`tech tool in the fight against crime. Just | :05:00. | :05:12. | |
like here in the states, the this will be a win`win for everybody. You | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
look at some of the overwhelming numbers here and you can say, that's | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
really great, you've got less use of force, less complaints. I think that | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
specifically for London, you are looking at the increase in policing | :05:23. | :05:31. | |
legitimacy. In building community trust. I think that really goes a | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
long way no matter where you are in the world. You mentioned privacy | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
issues there. How much of an issue do you think that will be here in | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
London? I think there are concerns about privacy, how data is stored, | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
how it's used. But we have strict laws in Britain. After 31 days, data | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
needs to be destroyed unless it's going to be used as evidence in | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
court. There are other issues around these cameras. For example, whether | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
there are blindspots or how you interpret these videos rest assured, | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
the videos would be on all the time will stop like Rialto, officers here | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
in London will be given guidance. The guidance being if you need to | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
note it in your notebook, then you should film it. For situations like | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
stop and search. An interesting development. Plenty more ahead this | :06:25. | :06:35. | |
evening including... Calls to cash in on the capital's empty NHS | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
buildings. Claims millions of pounds are being wasted. | :06:40. | :06:49. | |
A murder investigation has been launched after a woman and a toddler | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
were found dead at a house in Hackney. The man has been arrested | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
tonight. Let's get more. What other details are emerging? This | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
investigation is in its early stages, but what we understand | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
happened is at around 9am this morning police were called to this | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
estate, after reports that three people had been injured. When | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
ambulance crews and police officers arrived here they found a | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
53`year`old man, a 45`year`old woman and a baby girl aged 23 months with | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
stab or knife wounds full stop tragically, the mother and the baby | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
girl were then confirmed dead at the scene. This has totally shocked this | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
community because the woman was very well`known. We are told she was | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
herself community organiser. It's a shock. For someone to be killed in | :07:43. | :07:52. | |
an estate like this, it's a shock. To all of us, honestly, it is. I | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
don't know, because of my brother's age and him, I kind of feel it could | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
have been anyone of us really. What about the man that's been arrested? | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
We are being told that although he has injuries, they are not thought | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
to be life`threatening. He has been taken to a hospital in East London, | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
his condition is currently described as stable. Of course, the police be | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
wanting to interview him as soon as he is well enough, and he is under | :08:23. | :08:34. | |
arrest on suspicion of murder. The Communities Secretary Eric Pickles | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
has warned he may send in a team of Government inspectors to investigate | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
how a London borough has been run. A BBC Panorama investigation reveals | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
that the Mayor of Tower Hamlets increased funding to some voluntary | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
organisations run by Bengalis by almost two and a half times the sums | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
initially recommended by council officers. Both the Labour and | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
Conservative opposition have said they suspect the grants were made in | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
return for electoral support. If true, that would be unlawful. Mayor | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
Rahman, who's seeking re`election in May, strenuously denies the | :09:02. | :09:12. | |
accusation. John Ware reports. Having polled 51.76% of the | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
vote...Three and a half years ago, Tower Hamlets voted in Britain's | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
first directly elected Asian mayor. I will work for you and each and | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
every member of Tower Hamlets. Lutfur Rahman won with just 13% of | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
registered voters, nearly two thirds of who were from his own Bangladeshi | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
community. To be re`elected in May he is expected to need a high | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
Bangladeshi turnout once again. As a directly elected mayor, Mr Rahman | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
has executive power over the allocation of some grants to | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
charities. Opposition councillors say they believe that in the run`up | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
to the election, his choice of charities for grant funding has been | :09:47. | :09:54. | |
driven by electoral advantage. I am pretty sure there is some quid pro | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
quo in some of those grant decisions quo in some of those grant decisions | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
being made. I am pretty sure that part of that quid pro quo is about | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
supporting the mayor politically, on the ground, in the run`up to the | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
election. The mayor strongly denies this, but if his selection of which | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
charities to fund was based on who he thought would get the vote out | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
for him, well, that would be unlawful. Panorama has had access to | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
scale of the mayor's rejection of scale of the mayor's rejection of | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
council officers' advice. They recommended that Bengali and Somali | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
charities should get ?1.5 million. But our analysis of 362 grants shows | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
that the mayor increased this by nearly two and a half times to ?3.6 | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
million. Even though officers had already factored in helping to the | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
neediest in the borough. To pay for this the mayor dipped into the | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
council's reserves and cut what was left for everyone else by 25% | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
overall. The mayor categorically denies that any of his grant | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
decisions were about seeking electoral advantage. You've more | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
than the grant officers recommended to Bangladeshi and Somali | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
organisations. You cut everyone else's, or many others, to help pay | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
for it. That's why the opposition say that this is as much about | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
electoral advantage as it may be about need. What do you say to that? | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
It went through a rigorous process. So the allegation... It's absolutely | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
untrue. My principal has all along been that we would distribute the | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
money to as many organisations as possible, as they benefit the | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
community of Tower Hamlets. In exchange for more personal power, | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
directly elected mayors are expected to present themselves for | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
questioning. Mayor Rahman claims there was an adequate audit trail | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
for his grant decisions. But he has declined to answer opposition | :11:52. | :11:53. | |
questions in council meetings about them, or answer questions from the | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
special council forum that is meant to hold him to account. The only | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
explanation in the council confidential papers for the hundreds | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
of changes the mayor made to officer recommendations is contained in just | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
a few words. It was down to local knowledge and it was known where | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
money needed to be redistributed. We took our research to the minister | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
ultimately responsible for local government. I will look at it very | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
carefully. If I feel the allegations you've made are substantial and | :12:28. | :12:29. | |
serious I will actively consider intervening. In what way? I have | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
powers to put in an inspector to look at the way the council is being | :12:37. | :12:45. | |
run. In two months, Tower Hamlets will choose between the mayor and | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
his opponents. He has accused the BBC of becoming their mouthpiece, a | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
portent perhaps of just how visceral this contest is set to be. | :12:53. | :13:02. | |
And you can see more on that investigation on tonight's Panorama. | :13:03. | :13:13. | |
That's at 8.30pm here on BBC One. A jury at the Old Bailey has heard | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
harrowing police radio messages from the scene of the Broadwater Farm | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
riots in 1985, describing PC Keith Blakelock as having stopped | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
breathing with a knife in the back of his head. Nicky Jacobs, who was | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
16 at the time, is accused of stabbing the policeman to death | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
during the riots. He denies the charges. PC play clock was killed as | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
he and other officers went to assist firefighters at a blaze on the | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
Tottenham estate. Boris Johnson has outlined four options for Heathrow | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
Airport if the new Thames Estuary Hub is approved. The plans include | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
the development of a residential quarter, a new town, two large | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
campus universities or a new city. It's estimated that the | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
redevelopment could potentially support thousands of new jobs and | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
homes. London's NHS should cash in on unused buildings and tax fatty | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
foods and fizzy drinks if it wants to improve the capital's health. | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
Those are the early findings of surgeon Lord Darzi, who heads the | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
Mayor's London Health Commission. Our Political Correspondent Karl | :14:13. | :14:20. | |
Mercer has more. For years Ara Darzi has been at the centre of the | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
capital's health service. First as a surgeon, then as a Health Minister | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
in previous Labour governments. Now he's at the centre of the Mayor's | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
plans, tasked with finding new ways of getting the health message across | :14:32. | :14:40. | |
to Londoners. That will explain this meeting this morning, with Camilla | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
Batmangelligh, from the charity The Kids Company, they walk into the | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
lion 's den, if you like. What I have ended up having to do is to | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
create a parallel health service here. Lord Darzi was here to share | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
his plans, one of them being for the NHS to make more of buildings like | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
this. The NHS sold The National Temperance Hospital, but it has | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
remained empty, although it has recently been sold on to the | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
Department of Transport. There is a huge amount of estate which is not | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
used. It is costing the taxpayer up to ?60 million. So, a better use of | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
the estate is one of the important arguments of this commission. They | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
can just give me a couple of million of it and I will throw my turban up | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
in the air! We are sitting in this building before it gets demolished. | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
If somebody from the NHS gave us a building, it would be amazing. A big | :15:45. | :15:54. | |
announcement coming from the FDA regarding the safety of certain | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
fats... There is another idea which Lord Darzi says should be | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
considered, which is cutting down on harmful fats, as they have done in | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
America, even bringing in charges. My instinct is that we need to look | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
at every intervention, including taxation, on tackling this really | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
big problem. That is not in my gift to announce. At the moment, the | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
London Health Commission is taking its first step is. Its report will | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
be out later in the year. Still to come tonight... `` first steps. The | :16:28. | :16:34. | |
London Eye lost at sea for more than an hour after falling over the board | :16:35. | :16:42. | |
`` the longer lost at sea after falling overboard. And I will be | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
speaking to some of the stars of the new show Noah. | :16:48. | :16:58. | |
If you have a 1920s semi and you fancy sprucing it up, the pebble | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
dashed on the front might be the first thing to go. But for one | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
homeowner, what should have been a simple renovation project turned | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
compensated and expensive. The council declared the work needed | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
planning permission, and now, all that pebbledash has to go back. Emma | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
North reports. Modern London living. It is all about clean lines, smooth | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
surfaces. Unless of course you live in this street in West Hamstead. | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
other's works. But it is a other's works. But it is a | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
conservation area, so you can do pretty much everything, but do not | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
touch the pebbledash. When one woman removed it from the front of her | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
house, the authorities stepped in. I do not think it is a problem. | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
Historically, it would've been a nap. And colour, so it has been | :17:53. | :18:02. | |
compromised. Pebbledash was introduced to London in the | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
19th`century. Since then, it has fallen out of favour. But why? The | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
transformation from architectural decoration to suburban joke is | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
complete. We could not find a builder doing pebbledash in London | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
today. But one would give us a lesson on how to do it. You will put | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
your trim on, you will mix your sand and cement, and then you will smooth | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
it off. It does not have to be too bad, because obviously, you will be | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
throwing the pebbles on. And then you will either throw it on all | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
flicked it on. Is it good fun? No. Can you ever see a time when | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
pebbledash will make a comeback? Yes, I can, it is a rustic, rough | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
material. Architects who use it in that context, rather than simply | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
because it is cheap, can make some really interesting buildings. The | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
authorities say the character of the area must come first. So, the owner | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
is restoring the front of her home to its old state, proving that when | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
it comes to pebbledash, you need true grit. | :19:15. | :19:21. | |
Now, a Londoner is counting himself lucky to be alive after falling | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
Pacific Ocean during the Clipper Pacific Ocean during the Clipper | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
Round the World Yacht Race. 46`year`old Andrew Taylor was lost | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
at sea for more than an hour before being rescued by his fellow crew. | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
Alex Bushell has more. It is a test of endurance and skill. For one | :19:38. | :19:45. | |
Londoner, he found himself alone, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
Filmed by a member of the crew, this is the moment they no one of their | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
own is overboard. Gifting further all the time from the boat, in winds | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
of 35 knots. Unbelievably, Andrew Taylor spent one hour lost in the | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
water before a camera on board picked him up amidst the swell. | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
Somehow he had been able to cheat death. That is if they could just | :20:13. | :20:13. | |
get him back on board. Eventually, they did. He was lucky | :20:14. | :20:27. | |
just to be suffering from shock and hypothermia. God, the storm was bad. | :20:28. | :20:36. | |
I kept moving myself around, so that I could see the boat. But it just | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
went further and further away. His yacht left Qingdao with 11 others. | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
This was the 10th of 16 stages around the world. More than 3000 | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
miles into the Pacific leg, disaster struck. Andrew Taylor was knocked | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
overboard in the early hours of this morning, as he was working on the | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
sales. The next thing I knew, I hit the rudder. I went to smack on the | :21:03. | :21:10. | |
rudder. He is now said to be in good spirits, and the race has resumed. | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
He will be closely monitored for the next 2500 miles, before they can get | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
him back on dry land in San Francisco. Incredible. Tonight, | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
London plays host to the American epic loosely based on the story of | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
Noah's Ark. Russell Crowe takes the lead role in the film, with a host | :21:31. | :21:32. | |
of British stars alongside him, of British stars alongside him, | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
including Ray Winstone. The cast is in Leicester Square this evening for | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
the UK premiere, which is where we can also join Lizo Mzimba. Good | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
evening. Hundreds of fans have been packing out Leicester Square for the | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
past few hours. We might have a bit of flash photography, just to warn | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
you. The fans have been coming to see the cast arriving. It has | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
already opened in many countries over the world. Tonight, it is time | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
for the UK. First of all, let's have a quick look at the film we are | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
talking about. Man corrupted this world and filled | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
it with violence, so man must be destroyed. We will build a vessel to | :22:14. | :22:24. | |
hold the innocent. There is not anything for you here. You stand | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
alone and if I me? I am not alone. `` define me. Two of the stars are | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
with me right now. First of all, Russell, this story appears in so | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
many cultures, what is the longevity down to? I do not know that, mate, | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
but it is a story which is beyond religion, really, it predates what | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
we understand as religion. A lot of things about our world speak about a | :22:58. | :23:05. | |
flood mythology. The Australian aboriginals have the flood | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
mythology. Every major culture over the course of time has had one. That | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
leads me to think it is something of a shared human experience, rather | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
than a religious event. Of course, based on the biblical story, but Ray | :23:18. | :23:25. | |
Winstone, you play Noah's nemesis, how did you approach it? We wanted | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
to make it a bit more 3`dimensional. I saw myself doing | :23:31. | :23:40. | |
it, but he got the part. So for me, it was a little bit more | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
interesting. It was all about mankind and what we are. And I agree | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
with him. But that is when you step back and you take a look at us as | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
people and what we do. When you have got something that you want to love | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
and cherish, and we take for granted, if you do not look after | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
it, it gets broken and you have not got it any more. This story means so | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
much to so many people ` did you feel a sense of responsible at | :24:06. | :24:15. | |
each? `` sense of responsibility? Well, it is a movie, it is an | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
intense one, and it leads you to having some great discussions. | :24:22. | :24:23. | |
People, having seen the film, want to speak to their friends and family | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
about everything, spirituality, their relationship with animals. Any | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
piece of art can do that. It is a good thing. Russell Crowe, Ray | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
Winstone, thank you very much for your time. Back to you. | :24:39. | :24:46. | |
Within the last half an hour, a new TV channel for the capital has | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
launched. London Live will feature more than five hours of News and | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
Current Affairs everyday, as well as broadcasting established programmes | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
and commissioning new material. Now, it is time to get a check on the | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
weather. After a warm weekend, what news do you have for us? Yes, | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
yesterday was warmest day of the year. Today we have got more | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
surprises, because we have had some dust in the air. I hope you did not | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
wash the car over the weekend, because there has been Saharan dust | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
coming in. Accompanied by some light rain on the southeasterly wind. But | :25:28. | :25:35. | |
seriously, we have got quite high and pollution over London at the | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
moment, and tomorrow, it will be very high. That will exist until | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
later on in the week. This week will be warm, with often hazy skies. | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
Fairly polluted conditions at the moment. Tonight, we will have the | :25:51. | :25:57. | |
tail end of a weather front moving through. There will be some rain for | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
many areas in the first part of the night. But a lot of areas will be | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
dry. Clearing skies could list to `` could leave to some mist and fog | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
forming. Temperatures on the mild side overnight. Rush`hour tomorrow, | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
there could be some dense fog patches around. Moving through the | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
day, there will be a fair amount of cloud which drifts around. But more | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
chance of seeing some blue sky in the afternoon. Once again, it as we | :26:32. | :26:41. | |
go through the second part of the day, into the evening, there could | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
be one or two showers cropping up. On Wednesday, again, some sunny | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
spells in amongst the cloud. Some places could even get up to 22 | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
Celsius. We will start dry and bright on Thursday. The weather | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
front comes through later, bringing some rain. But it will help to clear | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
the atmosphere. Just before we go, a quick reminder | :27:03. | :27:14. | |
of the main news. A major report by the United Nations has warned that | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
the impact of climate change is likely to be severe, pervasive and | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
irreversible, with rising global temperatures likely to cause more | :27:24. | :27:30. | |
extreme weather. And the death of 11`month`old Callum Wilson in | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
Windsor could have been prevented, according to a serious case review. | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
He died three years ago. That is it for now. Alex Bushell will be back | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
with our late news. Good evening. | :27:42. | :27:44. |
