:04:41. > :04:47.o'clock this afternoon. Nick Beake is at the scene. We are on the

:04:48. > :04:52.corner of Grosvenor Square, just a few metres from the US embassy. This

:04:53. > :04:56.building behind me was itself a former US Navy headquarters and it

:04:57. > :05:01.was here this afternoon that the man died. This particular project was

:05:02. > :05:04.transforming the site into luxury flats. Earlier in daylight ht was

:06:05. > :06:11.of people, frankly. Tonight, they said it was with deeply regret that

:06:12. > :06:16.McGee could confirm the death of one of their workers. Their sympathies

:06:17. > :06:21.are with families and friends at this difficult time. Thank xou. An

:06:22. > :06:24.extra lane has been created for drivers on a section of the M25

:06:25. > :06:30.through Hertfordshire out of what used to be the hard shoulder. The

:06:31. > :06:33.Highways Agency is hoping that opening up the lane between South

:06:34. > :06:36.Mims and Enfield will reducd tailbacks but it means drivdrs will

:06:37. > :06:41.no longer be able to stop there if they break down. That is all from

:06:42. > :06:44.me. I will hand you over to Wendy with the weather now.
