:00:00. > :00:10.teens. Some dry weather now and again. Thank you very

:00:11. > :00:13.been reported since September. Tonight, a special edition of BBC

:00:14. > :00:16.London News, live from The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park ` renamed and

:00:17. > :00:21.about to re`open to the public tomorrow. Coming up between now and

:00:22. > :00:26.7:00pm: Prince Harry tests out the Park ` as

:00:27. > :00:34.he joins the Mayor on the eve of the official opening. The amount of

:00:35. > :00:37.money that has been spent, and the creativity, it has brought it to

:00:38. > :00:41.life. Members of the public have a chance to come through here. The

:00:42. > :00:44.kids, they adore it. We show you what's on offer ` and

:00:45. > :00:51.hear from those already making the most of the Olympic venues. I just

:00:52. > :00:53.feel like I am one of the Olympic athletes and there is a crowd

:00:54. > :00:55.cheering me on. Also tonight:

:00:56. > :00:58.Inspectors are sent by the Government following allegations of

:00:59. > :01:02.fraud and financial mismanagement at Tower Hamlets Council.

:01:03. > :01:04.Plus, captured on camera ` the lifeboat crew in a dramatic night

:01:05. > :01:32.time rescue on the Thames. Good evening and welcome live to the

:01:33. > :01:35.Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. It was here, in the stadium behind me, that

:01:36. > :01:39.the capital welcomed the world with the Opening Ceremony of the 2012

:01:40. > :01:42.Games. 18 months on, no security checks, no Olympic volunteers and a

:01:43. > :01:47.new look to some of these world class venues. From tomorrow the

:01:48. > :01:52.capital's newest park ` all 560 acres of it ` will officially open

:01:53. > :01:56.to the public. It's perhaps as significant a day for the people of

:01:57. > :02:02.east London as the Olympics itself. From tomorrow, this is their park.

:02:03. > :02:05.And today on the eve of that opening, Prince Harry and the Mayor

:02:06. > :02:07.came to see it for themselves Our political correspondent, Karl

:02:08. > :02:08.Mercer, reports on today's "Royal reception" and the regeneration of

:02:09. > :02:23.this once derelict wasteland. Royal etiquette, east London style `

:02:24. > :02:27.Prince Harry pretty much doing what he was told by local primary school

:02:28. > :02:33.kids this morning. He even got the hurry`up on the rope bridge. All

:02:34. > :02:36.right! But he wasn't the only one blocking up the bridge. Boris,

:02:37. > :02:41.Boris! This playground is part of the new look Olympic Park. The

:02:42. > :02:45.amount of money that has been spent and the creativity, it has brought

:02:46. > :02:50.it to life. As of the public have a chance to come here, and the kids,

:02:51. > :02:54.they adore it. But in a way, this is the easy end of the job. True legacy

:02:55. > :02:58.will be judged on the homes and jobs that come to this part of town. This

:02:59. > :03:04.bike firm won a contract during the Games and has built up business near

:03:05. > :03:10.the park. I have been for a swim in the Aquatics Centre, I have been to

:03:11. > :03:14.the velodrome. For me, the legacy of the 2012 games starts now.

:03:15. > :03:19.Everything is open and we can start using it as a community and as

:03:20. > :03:22.residents. Nearby, perhaps a bigger example of the Olympic boost ` the

:03:23. > :03:25.giant Westfield shopping centre. And the Olympic Village, too, is now

:03:26. > :03:28.starting to fill up with Londoners. A new community is starting to be

:03:29. > :03:33.born here. I used to live in Hackney. Hackney has got quite

:03:34. > :03:37.expensive now. It is very busy. At night time there is a lot of noise.

:03:38. > :03:41.This was such a quiet, peaceful area, there is a lot of green space.

:03:42. > :03:44.But the shiny sides of legacy has not reached all parts of Stratford.

:03:45. > :03:47.The Carpenters Estate sits in the shadow of the park and has been

:03:48. > :03:53.under threat. Mary Finch has lived here for 43 years. You know what I

:03:54. > :04:01.said, let's be part of this legacy. Let us be the ones to say, we were

:04:02. > :04:08.here when it was on. Don't destroy something that is good. You know?

:04:09. > :04:14.Because it is. I wouldn't live anywhere else. This is mine, this is

:04:15. > :04:23.where I am staying. I am going nowhere. The number of homes planned

:04:24. > :04:30.for the park has been cut by 1,000. Targets for affordable homes have

:04:31. > :04:35.also been cut. A price worth paying, says the Mayor, to try and attract

:04:36. > :04:39.businesses instead. You could max out on housing but in this part of

:04:40. > :04:42.London there are lots of good sites for housing. You want to capitalise

:04:43. > :04:55.on the success of the Olympics and drive forward job creation and

:04:56. > :04:58.create an economic attraction. It may be that the youngster who played

:04:59. > :05:01.in the park this morning will be the ultimate judges of Olympic legacy,

:05:02. > :05:05.when they are looking for homes and work. Well joining me now is Sir

:05:06. > :05:07.Robin Wales, Mayor of Newham and Olympic Ambassador and east London

:05:08. > :05:21.resident Humaira Ahmed Patel. Welcome to you both. A really big

:05:22. > :05:26.day for Newham but what is good for Newham may not be good for the

:05:27. > :05:29.people of Newham. Jobs and homes are the key things we have to have four

:05:30. > :05:35.people. We have got 20 2000 people into work through our workplace

:05:36. > :05:37.programme `` 22,000 people. You could argue we need more support

:05:38. > :05:42.from government to keep that happening. We have to make sure that

:05:43. > :05:47.the homes are right for local people. That means affordable. That

:05:48. > :05:50.is why we have set up a company to do exactly that, to build homes for

:05:51. > :05:56.local people so we are not priced out of the market. We have a local

:05:57. > :05:59.person right here. Do you feel you could afford to live on the Olympic

:06:00. > :06:03.Park in a place like this question might you have grown up here.

:06:04. > :06:07.Hearing about the initiatives that are taking place, within time, it is

:06:08. > :06:12.possible. If I wanted to live here... The measures will be put

:06:13. > :06:19.into place for that to happen. You hope so. You are nodding... I am

:06:20. > :06:24.agreeing. Do you feel you should have lobbied for more affordable

:06:25. > :06:27.homes on the part itself? The Olympic village has got a lot of

:06:28. > :06:31.affordable homes. This government has cut subsidies to housing, if you

:06:32. > :06:34.cut subsidies to social housing you will have less affordable housing.

:06:35. > :06:39.They are consciously and deliberately taking social housing

:06:40. > :06:43.away. With the discount policy on existing council housing, we are

:06:44. > :06:47.losing council housing every day. You are right, I am very angry about

:06:48. > :06:53.it and I do lobbied and I think the next Labour government will change

:06:54. > :06:58.it. You were one of the youngest children that went out to Singapore

:06:59. > :07:02.as part of the bid team. Here we are, looking around us now, what a

:07:03. > :07:07.journey of must have been for you. It has been an immense journey. When

:07:08. > :07:13.I was picked to go to Singapore, I was 13. Now I am 22. It is nearly

:07:14. > :07:16.ten years on and there has been aged man tick change within the area and

:07:17. > :07:26.the atmosphere, everything about Stratford has changed. Do you feel

:07:27. > :07:29.proud? Yes, very proud. These are the very sorts of people that should

:07:30. > :07:33.benefit from something like this. Look at what we have got committed

:07:34. > :07:37.fantastic, there are more jobs and homes coming. We have to make sure

:07:38. > :07:42.it works for local people. We will revisit that in a year, thank you

:07:43. > :07:46.very much. A very big day for Newham. Well let's focus on the park

:07:47. > :07:49.itself for a moment. The transformation of the area has taken

:07:50. > :07:57.over 18 months with some of the venues undergoing multi`million

:07:58. > :08:01.pound make overs. Of course, the most recognisable venue in the park

:08:02. > :08:05.is the Olympic Stadium. It won't be open to the public until the summer

:08:06. > :08:10.of 2016, then it becomes the new home of Westland United football

:08:11. > :08:16.club and the national competition centre for athletics `` West Ham

:08:17. > :08:20.United football club. The Aquatics Centre open to the public in March

:08:21. > :08:24.this year and anyone can come for a swim as ?3 50, around the same cost

:08:25. > :08:31.as your local pool, but booking is recommended. The Lea Valley Park is

:08:32. > :08:35.the first in the world to offer four types of cycling in one place.

:08:36. > :08:40.Members of the public can book taster sessions in track cycling,

:08:41. > :08:47.BMX and mountain biking. And not forgetting the Orbit. Tickets to go

:08:48. > :08:54.to the top of the UK's sculpture `` UK's tallest sculpture can be booked

:08:55. > :08:57.from ?15. There is a kind of quiet, calm atmosphere of anticipation. I

:08:58. > :09:00.imagine from tomorrow, it will be very different. So if you're

:09:01. > :09:07.planning a visit, what can you expect? Tarah Welsh has been taking

:09:08. > :09:10.a closer look at the Olympic transformation.

:09:11. > :09:14.This venue has had the biggest transformation since the games. The

:09:15. > :09:19.seats have come down and out you can see the stingray design. This isn't

:09:20. > :09:23.your average local pool, the best swimmers in the world have won

:09:24. > :09:27.medals here. Since being opened to the public, more than 50,000 people

:09:28. > :09:32.have come here. Local schoolchildren even have their lessons here. It is

:09:33. > :09:37.really fun swimming in the Olympic pool, it makes me feel like I am in

:09:38. > :09:40.the Olympics. With just 6000 seats, these tickets were tough to get

:09:41. > :09:44.during the Olympics in the velodrome. Now anyone can have a go

:09:45. > :09:49.on the track where Chris Foy won his final gold medal. It is a bit scary

:09:50. > :09:53.to begin with, we provide the coach and the bikes and it is all

:09:54. > :10:00.supervised. Before long you will be up on the boards like Chris Foy and

:10:01. > :10:06.Victoria Pendleton. How affordable do you think it is? We are

:10:07. > :10:09.comparable with going to a football Game one of the London attractions.

:10:10. > :10:13.It is not just the venue that will be pulling people in, this park

:10:14. > :10:17.opens to the public from tomorrow. There is plenty to see the because

:10:18. > :10:22.this is the biggest part to open in London for a century. You are the

:10:23. > :10:30.man behind the design of London's newest part, what was the initial

:10:31. > :10:32.vision? `` newest park. It was to transform a derelict piece of land

:10:33. > :10:37.into something green, lush, living but also a place for people. It was

:10:38. > :10:42.some little people that got the first look. The park is awesome,

:10:43. > :10:47.everybody should come. It is Rudy cool, actually. There are loads of

:10:48. > :10:52.famous people like Usain Bolt came the `` really cool. You had one of

:10:53. > :10:57.the most exciting jobs before big aims. How does this compare? It

:10:58. > :11:03.can't be as exciting `` before the Games. Nothing could be as exciting

:11:04. > :11:07.but it feels you are part of history. The longer you spend here,

:11:08. > :11:14.the more in touch UI with the local people. There are permanent jobs

:11:15. > :11:20.which could mean literally going up in the world. `` the more in touch

:11:21. > :11:25.UI with. My favourite bit is being able to come in a cape with the

:11:26. > :11:36.customers who are getting excited. My friends think it is awesome.

:11:37. > :11:42.At ?15 for an adult, some have said the price is too high. From here you

:11:43. > :11:49.can see right across the park. During the Olympics, teams of people

:11:50. > :11:54.came here. The question is, can this park continue to attract Londoners

:11:55. > :12:01.and people from across the world in the future.

:12:02. > :12:08.Let's talk to someone who has spent the day putting the finishing

:12:09. > :12:13.touches to the park. Welcome Dr Phil Askew, Head of Parklands. A very

:12:14. > :12:19.grand title. This has been a labour of love for you since 2008? Yes. It

:12:20. > :12:23.has been a privilege to work on this project for all these years. I have

:12:24. > :12:27.been lucky enough to work on the design of the park, to work with

:12:28. > :12:33.fantastic teams of contractors and designers, project managers, to put

:12:34. > :12:37.this place together. We can see some wonderful duffle deals behind us but

:12:38. > :12:43.the part looks different `` wonderful daffodils. It is not in

:12:44. > :12:48.full bloom. It does look different, it is April, things are starting to

:12:49. > :12:52.grow. We have had a fantastic spring and the weather is warming up. In

:12:53. > :12:56.the next four to six weeks, people coming into the park will see a real

:12:57. > :13:01.change in the place. We have the daffodils, spring is on its way but

:13:02. > :13:05.it is not quite here yet. Your top tip, what should horticultural

:13:06. > :13:09.enthusiasts look out for? Crumbs! There are so many great things. I

:13:10. > :13:15.think they should do two things. They should come to the newly opened

:13:16. > :13:20.south of the park where there are some fantastic planting design by a

:13:21. > :13:25.Dutchman, one of the most famous landing designers in the world. It

:13:26. > :13:29.would be great to see. In the North Meadows, which were great during big

:13:30. > :13:35.aims, they are starting to come back into life again `` great during the

:13:36. > :13:38.Games. Thank you for your time, good luck tomorrow. For now, stay with

:13:39. > :13:45.us, because there is plenty more to come before 7:00pm. I have been at

:13:46. > :13:49.the Aquatics Centre to meet Tom Daley's new diving coach who hopes

:13:50. > :13:54.to take him from bronze at London 2012 to gold in Rio. And I am even

:13:55. > :13:58.higher over the pool, bringing you the weather from the top of the

:13:59. > :14:03.orbit. I can see fresh Atlanta guerre coming for the weekend. Does

:14:04. > :14:16.that mean sunshine? I will tell you in the forecast later. So join us

:14:17. > :14:19.for more from the Park later in the programme. But now let's catch up

:14:20. > :14:22.with some the rest of the day's news with Alex in the studio. Government

:14:23. > :14:25.inspectors are to examine allegations in Tower Hamlets of

:14:26. > :14:29.governance failure, poor financial management and fraud. It comes after

:14:30. > :14:32.a BBC Panorama investigation into the East London borough scrutinised

:14:33. > :14:36.the spending records of its Mayor, Lutfur Rahman. The council says it

:14:37. > :14:52.welcomes the inspection and has done nothing wrong. Pressure is mounting

:14:53. > :14:55.on Lutfur Rahman, following scrutiny of his spending in a BBC panorama

:14:56. > :15:01.programme this week. Investigators are to examine allegations of

:15:02. > :15:09.governance failure, poor financial management and fraud. Inspectors

:15:10. > :15:15.reportedly arrived at the Town Hall at around 8am. Panorama obtained the

:15:16. > :15:21.spending records and claimed they were revealed that an gaudy and

:15:22. > :15:25.Somali organisations have been disproportionately benefiting from

:15:26. > :15:30.public money to shore up votes for Lutfur Rahman. He refuted all

:15:31. > :15:34.allegations that the council spending was improper. You have more

:15:35. > :15:50.than doubled the grant officers recommended to Ben Pauley and Somali

:15:51. > :15:59.organisations. `` Bengali. The allegation is untrue. Eric Pickles

:16:00. > :16:04.says serious concerns have been raised.

:16:05. > :16:11.We have been told we are no longer allowed to film outside the Town

:16:12. > :16:15.Hall and security have asked us to leave the gated premises. We'll soon

:16:16. > :16:22.understand that, on Sunday, there will be an anti`BBC demonstration

:16:23. > :16:30.held here. `` we also understand. Tower Hamlets says it welcomes the

:16:31. > :16:36.opportunity to demonstrate processes have been Brown appropriately. ``

:16:37. > :16:39.run appropriately. The serial killer who murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler

:16:40. > :16:42.has been awarded a ?4,400 pay`out after being assaulted in prison.

:16:43. > :16:45.Levi Bellfield was attacked by a fellow prisoner in 2009 before he

:16:46. > :16:49.went on trial for the murder of the 13`year`old. The Ministry of Justice

:16:50. > :16:52.said it is hugely disappointed by the judge's decision. The capital is

:16:53. > :16:56.still suffering moderate levels of air pollution with forecasters

:16:57. > :16:58.predicting they could fall further. Data showed pollution levels had

:16:59. > :17:02.dropped from the maximum ten on Thursday to mainly low and moderate

:17:03. > :17:13.levels. Yesterday, the London Ambulance Service saw a 34% increase

:17:14. > :17:18.in patients with breathing problems. Metropolitan police officers said

:17:19. > :17:21.they are living in a culture of fear because of the Draconian years of

:17:22. > :17:23.performance targets. The Police Federation surveyed 250 officers and

:17:24. > :17:26.found they felt under a constant threat because of what it called

:17:27. > :17:33.meaningless and unrealistic targets. Tom Symonds reports. When it comes

:17:34. > :17:40.to setting targets for the police, the Government says it has just one,

:17:41. > :17:46.cut crime. The country 's biggest force, the net, has insisted it has

:17:47. > :17:50.no policy of setting targets for arrests and stop and search. Today

:17:51. > :17:54.the Metropolitan Police Federation has claimed hitting numbers is a

:17:55. > :17:59.very real pressure on members. This is the sort of e`mail which the

:18:00. > :18:04.federation says is circulating among police managers. It mentions

:18:05. > :18:08.targets. And search and how each officer is doing. This one has an

:18:09. > :18:13.arrest rate below 10%, which need to improve and not be so reliant on

:18:14. > :18:18.drug searches. Another has a fantastic arrest rate. This one has

:18:19. > :18:24.made no arrests. The federation says, despite the official policy,

:18:25. > :18:28.there are unwritten targets would officers are pushed to meet. It is a

:18:29. > :18:33.culture where they are stressed, pressurised, bullied. They are taken

:18:34. > :18:37.to misconduct procedures when they do not hit specific targets. It is

:18:38. > :18:42.right that performance is measured but there are different ways of

:18:43. > :18:49.measurement. This report draws on the account of just 250 officers out

:18:50. > :18:53.of The Met 's 30,000. Scotland Yard said if local managers are setting

:18:54. > :18:57.targets, they should not be. We do not condone it. We recognise there

:18:58. > :19:04.are some places where we need to coach people on how to get the best

:19:05. > :19:10.out of teams. My officers do a great job every day to protect the public.

:19:11. > :19:13.Cuts to police numbers and changes to pay and conditions have

:19:14. > :19:19.contributed to a climate of unrest among some officers. Today's report

:19:20. > :19:25.from London rank and file goes further, describing it as a climate

:19:26. > :19:35.of fear. A lifeboat on the Thames has been involved in a dramatic

:19:36. > :19:39.rescue. The RNLI has released pictures of their crew who were

:19:40. > :19:44.called to a man clinging to a barge near HMS Belfast. It is thought he

:19:45. > :19:47.entered the water to help another person. The RNLI, assisted by The

:19:48. > :19:50.Met and the London Fire Brigade, searched the area but a second

:19:51. > :19:55.person was not found. Well, that's all from me. Now back to Riz in

:19:56. > :20:00.Stratford. Welcome back to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. We are here

:20:01. > :20:09.ahead of its reopening to the public tomorrow. This playground I am

:20:10. > :20:12.standing in is very quiet now. I imagine it will be hugely busy

:20:13. > :20:15.tomorrow. Now, one of the venues which has gone through a huge

:20:16. > :20:18.transformation is the eye`catching Aquatics Centre. It has already

:20:19. > :20:21.become home to diver Tom Daley, who won an Olympic bronze there. He has

:20:22. > :20:24.now moved to Stratford and is working with a new coach looking

:20:25. > :20:33.beyond 2012 to Rio in two years' time. Sara Orchard has been to meet

:20:34. > :20:40.her. The Aquatic Centre set the scene for Tom Daley to win bronze at

:20:41. > :20:49.the London 2012 games. It is a good one. Having left his hometown of

:20:50. > :20:58.Plymouth, he has moved to Stratford and working with a new coach. She

:20:59. > :21:02.has moved to London as well. Having left Houston and everything I love

:21:03. > :21:06.and everything I was very happy about, I do not think I could have

:21:07. > :21:14.come here without thinking we had a chance to win. I love him, I love

:21:15. > :21:18.working with him. I take the chance of winning a gold medal very

:21:19. > :21:23.seriously. I am on the spot where Tom Daley won bronze at the London

:21:24. > :21:27.2012 Olympic Games. Come the end of this month, the world 's best divers

:21:28. > :21:36.will all be back here at the Aquatic Centre for the London leg of the

:21:37. > :21:41.world diving series. `` the Olympic champion means pressure is on Tom

:21:42. > :21:51.Daley to perform in front of his home crowd. Tom and I, we both want

:21:52. > :22:01.to show off. Ahead of the park fully opening, Jane is keen to show off

:22:02. > :22:06.her workplace. This is probably the best job on the planet. We live in

:22:07. > :22:11.Stratford. We bike to work every day. People just need to come out. I

:22:12. > :22:15.have watched a lot of people coming in the last few months and there is

:22:16. > :22:20.more and more. I tell you, when I walk past those people, they are

:22:21. > :22:26.just happy. When you are a coach, do you get your costume on and have a

:22:27. > :22:32.go again? You have to be crazy to go up here. Crazy maybe that Tom Daley

:22:33. > :22:35.has taken the plunge to move to London because of the facilities on

:22:36. > :22:40.offer and one of the best diving coaches in the world. And Sara joins

:22:41. > :22:48.me for all the sport. And diving isn't the only world`class event we

:22:49. > :22:51.can expect here. For anyone who did not get tickets for the Olympics,

:22:52. > :22:56.plenty to get your teeth into. We mentioned the diving at the end of

:22:57. > :22:59.the month. In 2016 it will be hosting the Europeans winning

:23:00. > :23:03.championships. There is a whole area to the north of the park which was

:23:04. > :23:09.not used during the Olympics but it was used during the Paralympics. The

:23:10. > :23:16.tennis centre opens next month. That will be hosting three international

:23:17. > :23:20.tournaments in 2016 /2017/2018. Stadium behind us has the world

:23:21. > :23:27.athletics Championships. Do not forget the Rugby World Cup. The

:23:28. > :23:35.stadium is currently the only place the public cannot go into. It is

:23:36. > :23:38.still having a West Ham make over. Some of the players got a

:23:39. > :23:44.behind`the`scenes tour of the park. Needless to say, they were very

:23:45. > :23:48.impressed. Let's move on to rugby because Saracens are in Northern

:23:49. > :23:53.Ireland this weekend. It is the Heineken Cup. They will be playing

:23:54. > :23:58.Ulster in the Heineken Cup. On top of that, it will be at Ravenhill. It

:23:59. > :24:05.is a reverse of the fixture when Oster came here last year. There is

:24:06. > :24:11.a lot for Saracens to live up to. `` Aalst. It means that ultimately

:24:12. > :24:15.Saracens will have a difficult task but they will be going in as

:24:16. > :24:19.favourites. Going back to this weekend, if anyone is out and about

:24:20. > :24:23.on Sunday in and around Central London, do not forget it is the boat

:24:24. > :24:27.race. It is Oxford against Cambridge, for anyone who does not

:24:28. > :24:32.know. Oxford won last year but apparently they had a slightly

:24:33. > :24:40.lighter `` they have a slightly lighter crew. It is between Mortlake

:24:41. > :24:44.and Putney. It starts in Putney. The race gets under way just before 6pm.

:24:45. > :24:52.If you cannot get there, do not worry, it is on BBC One. A very busy

:24:53. > :24:55.day but a fun day. On that note, how is the weather looking for the boat

:24:56. > :25:01.race and tomorrow's opening of the park? Wendy has an excellent view

:25:02. > :25:06.and luckily she is not afraid of heights.

:25:07. > :25:15.I am at the top of the orbit as the sun begins to set across London

:25:16. > :25:20.behind me. What a fantastic view it is from up here. I can see quite

:25:21. > :25:24.some distance. We have a lot of fresh, Atlantic air which has

:25:25. > :25:28.arrived as we head into the weekend. That of course is lowering

:25:29. > :25:32.the pollution levels all the time. We can breathe a bit easier this

:25:33. > :25:36.evening. It has reduced the haze that has hung over London and the

:25:37. > :25:40.Home Counties through the last few days. You might be able to see

:25:41. > :25:46.behind me a few sparkles of sunshine picking out some of the buildings.

:25:47. > :25:49.We have seen some breaks in the cloud this afternoon and they

:25:50. > :25:53.continue this evening and into the night. All the time the winds will

:25:54. > :25:58.turn to or south`westerly direction. They will fall light in the middle

:25:59. > :26:02.of the night. You could encounter a fog patch if you are heading around

:26:03. > :26:06.the capital and the Home Counties. More cloud will move in from the

:26:07. > :26:10.south`west as we go through the early hours of the morning. That is

:26:11. > :26:14.a warm front which will stick with us tomorrow. Temperatures under the

:26:15. > :26:18.clearer skies will get to six, seven Celsius cooler than previous nights.

:26:19. > :26:24.We start Saturday with the warm front. Lots of cloud around.

:26:25. > :26:29.Sunshine is at a premium tomorrow. Grey skies into the afternoon. The

:26:30. > :26:32.wind is picking up all the time from south`westerly direction that

:26:33. > :26:37.temperatures should get to 15, 16 degrees. If you are heading here to

:26:38. > :26:41.see their newest park through Saturday, there will be just about

:26:42. > :26:46.dry conditions with the chance of some patchy rain towards the end of

:26:47. > :26:50.the day. By the time we get to Sunday, and for the boat race this

:26:51. > :26:55.is worth noting, some rain will set in through the morning. It will turn

:26:56. > :27:00.heavy in the afternoon before it becomes showery. It will be blustery

:27:01. > :27:08.and cooler. The rain is still with us on Monday. High pressure building

:27:09. > :27:13.on Tuesday and hype that is my prep and the fine weather returns. You

:27:14. > :27:18.can see more on the news on the website. That is it from us tonight

:27:19. > :27:22.at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, which reopens to the public

:27:23. > :27:24.tomorrow. Thank you for watching and have a lovely. Goodbye.
