paid to a businessman from Surrey who's been murdered in the

:01:02.:01:03.

Philippines. Tony Gilchrist, who opened a scuba diving centrd on the

:01:04.:01:06.

island of Malapascua, was shot six times, allegedly by a securhty guard

:01:07.:01:09.

he'd sacked for turning up late for work. It's been reported th`t late

:01:10.:01:13.

last year, while in the country Mr Gilchrist had helped with the aid

:01:14.:01:16.

effort in the Philippines following the destruction caused by Txphoon

:01:17.:01:26.

Haiyan. Nick Beake has the story. Tony Gilchrist, a man who grew up in

:01:27.:01:30.

Surrey but followed his dre`ms to the far east. Setting up a scuba

:01:31.:01:35.

dive shop in the Philippines. Murdered in a country he had grown

:01:36.:01:40.

to love. And this is a local man who has admitted the killing. A

:01:41.:01:43.

42`year`old security guard who was sacked after turning up drunk, who

:01:44.:01:48.

then turned on his boss. TRANSLATION: I was unable to control

:01:49.:01:52.

myself with him, he told reporters. Even the littlest mistake when you

:01:53.:01:56.

are others, he would get mad instantly. But that is not the

:01:57.:02:01.

picture Tony Gilchrist's falily have painted of him. Today, speaking on a

:02:02.:02:05.

per line from the Philippinds, his brother said he was a wonderful

:02:06.:02:11.

person. My brother was a genuine, decent man, who loved other people

:02:12.:02:17.

and loved this community. This is very tragic that one individual has

:02:18.:02:23.

let him down. So severely. Police officers said they are not looking

:02:24.:02:29.

for anyone else. TRANSLATION: The suspect had anger in him, hd used up

:02:30.:02:34.

all six rounds of the revolver and investigation shows he had `n intent

:02:35.:02:37.

to kill. It happened on the island of Maui Pascua and South East of

off. This is an isolated case, we will see what will happen, ht is

:02:58.:03:01.

really unfortunate. The suspect has been paraded in front of thd media,

:03:02.:03:05.

with paraffin on his hands, a test to see if there are traces of

:03:06.:03:10.

gunshot residue. The murder weapon and bullet casing have also been

:03:11.:03:14.

recovered. A seemingly open and shut case, but that is of little

:03:15.:03:19.

consolation to Tony Gilchrist's grieving family. Stay with ts this

evening. There's a lot more to come. How dads in the city are fighting

:03:27.:03:30.

the long hours culture to spend more time with their children. D`ds want

:03:31.:03:39.

to share a lot more in the upbringing of their kids, and

certainly when we had kids H do not want to do the old idea of just

heading off in the morning `nd leaving them to it. Metropolitan

:03:48.:04:00.

Police whistle`blower has accused the force of acting and a w`y. The

:04:01.:04:05.

Met was accused of many bledding crime figures. The whistle`blower

:04:06.:04:11.

has been told that Scotland Yard is now investigating him for gross

:04:12.:04:14.

misconduct after appearing on TV and radio without permission. The report

:04:15.:04:24.

was published today that looked into the and pollution of police crime

:04:25.:04:29.

statistics. Part of that report praised the bravery of one

:04:30.:04:33.

Metropolitan Police officer. This is what got into hot water. Appearing

:04:34.:04:37.

two weeks ago on a BBC television programme and Radio Five Live,

telling viewers and listeners about the way he has been treated since

blowing the whistle on the Let police for apparently fiddlhng crime

:04:47.:04:50.

figures. Today it was revealed he is being investigated for gross

:04:51.:04:55.

misconduct, although he has already resigned and leaves the force next

:04:56.:04:56.

month. On his website, he writes... PC Patrick ends with... PC Patrick

:04:57.:05:25.

first appeared in front of LPs last November, informing them of how his

:05:26.:05:28.

unforced allegedly massaged crime statistics. The Met Commisshoner

:05:29.:05:33.

later admitted there was a truth in the allegations and a subsepuent

:05:34.:05:38.

Parliamentary report was highly critical of the Met, but pr`ising PC

:05:39.:05:44.

Patrick as a whistle`blower. The author this afternoon expressed

:05:45.:05:49.

concern about today's news. This underlines the police do not seem to

:05:50.:05:55.

accept what we find in our report, that there is institutional denial

:05:56.:05:59.

in the Metropolitan Police `bout the mess recording of police reported

:06:00.:06:04.

crime. This former commander was jailed for perverting the course of

:06:05.:06:07.

justice. Seven years ago he wrote a highly critical book on the net was

:06:08.:06:11.

serving as a senior officer, but face no discipline reaction and was

:06:12.:06:16.

later promoted. The Met said he sought permission for his book. PC

:06:17.:06:20.

Patrick allegedly broke the rules by failing to seek the approprhate

:06:21.:06:24.

authority before talking to the media. And Scotland Yard confirms

:06:25.:06:29.

the police constable is now being investigated for potential gross

:06:30.:06:37.

misconduct. A 49`year`old m`n has died in hospital after he w`s

:06:38.:06:40.

stabbed last night in South West London. He was attacked near the

:06:41.:06:43.

36`year`old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. The car

pound fund which is aimed at developing the next generathon of

:06:58.:06:59.

engines, which includes putting Formula One technology into buses.

:07:00.:07:03.

The investment was announced during a visit to the Ford site in Dutton

by the Business Secretary, Vince Cable. Gareth George was thdre. Full

centre near Basildon and announced a joint government industry ftnd of ?1

billion for research into m`king engines cleaner. I like cars that

:07:50.:07:55.

are reliable and fast, provhding I am driving within the law. But we

:07:56.:08:01.

recognise reality that in ftture, cars have to be environment`lly

:08:02.:08:10.

friendly as well. Although these ever is long gone, the basic

:08:11.:08:13.

principle behind the intern`l combustion engine remains the same,

:08:14.:08:17.

but engineers are still strtggling to make it more efficient and the

:08:18.:08:22.

research done here is key. `` Zephyr. I am standing in a fridge

:08:23.:08:28.

that is big enough for a car, ` 8 degrees here, as cold as yotr own

:08:29.:08:32.

fridge freezer at home. I c`nnot take it here any longer and the car

:08:33.:08:37.

has been here for eight hours. And the idea is to see just how the

:08:38.:08:41.

engine copes with extreme conditions. It is very blowhng here!

:08:42.:08:49.

The wind tunnel is on, generating wind of 60 kilometres an hotr,

:08:50.:08:55.

around 40 mph. More than strong enough to lean against. It can go up

:08:56.:09:00.

to more than 200 kilometres an hour. And when it gets that fast, bits of

:09:01.:09:08.

the car sometimes lose. `` blow What does the boss think? Driverless

:09:09.:09:14.

cars in city centres are for the future but it is important to

:09:15.:09:18.

remember that people drive cars with their hearts and cars will study

:09:19.:09:22.

great looking, still will bd fun to drive and they will still bd about

:09:23.:09:25.

personal freedom. And hopeftlly they will be greener, too. A mother from

:09:26.:09:35.

Eltham says her son should be given an award for bravery after saving

:09:36.:09:38.

his baby brother from a dog attack. 11`year`old Jack Mackay suffered

:09:39.:09:41.

deep bites to his face and `rm when he rushed forward to protect his

:09:42.:09:46.

family earlier this month. The dog has been destroyed but Jack's mother

:09:47.:09:49.

is calling for changes to the law so all dogs have to wear muzzlds in

:09:50.:09:52.

public places. Katharine Carpenter reports. There's no doubting the

:09:53.:10:02.

brotherly love these two. Btt earlier this month, 11`month`old

:10:03.:10:05.

Jack demonstrated just how protective older brothers c`n be

:10:06.:10:09.

when a neighbour 's dog tridd to grab baby Jacob from his mother 's

arms. He bit my head, so I shuddered off with my foot. `` hip. The man

:10:20.:10:25.

said, the dog doesn't like that Jack screened to get him aw`y from

the baby and the dog took hhm straight to the floor. Most people

would be running away but you try to distract the dog? To save mx little

the neighbour 's house. But when the dog first slipped its lead, there

were around 30 children plaxing here. It is a travel offencd to let

any type of dog be dangerously out of control in public. `` crhminal

the family and voluntarily to good to be destroyed but the famhly are

:11:14.:11:16.

still deciding whether or not to press charges. Jack is still scarred

:11:17.:11:20.

from deep bites to his face and arm, his mother says after this hncident,

:11:21.:11:25.

she was to see all dogs muzzled in public and eldest son given an

:11:26.:11:30.

award. I could have lost my eldest son, my eldest child. He is a brave

:11:31.:11:36.

man. You must very proud? Vdry bright, not a lot of 11`year`olds

:11:37.:11:41.

would do that, tackle a dog. Jack says he is still not afraid of the

:11:42.:11:44.

animals, he is just glad his brother is OK. Still to come before the end

of the programme. I am at the Globe, celebrating the birth of

Shakespeare 450 years ago. @nd the many lives of London as told by the

:12:00.:12:12.

people who live here. The Chty is known for its long working hours and

:12:13.:12:15.

ruthless culture. But now moves are afoot to help fathers achieve a

:12:16.:12:22.

better work`life balance. It comes after it was found that a qtarter of

:12:23.:12:25.

city workers took little or no paternity leave because of fears it

:12:26.:12:28.

might harm their career. Gareth Furby reports. Richard Holloway

:12:29.:12:37.

early this morning. Before setting out for work in the city, it is his

:12:38.:12:41.

job to wake and feed his two children. Things depend on how

:12:42.:12:47.

cooperative they are, they just did not want to get out of bed this

:12:48.:12:51.

morning. Who is getting you dressed? Me? It is a tight schedule but at a

:12:52.:12:58.

`` as his wife works in the city, three days a week, he has to stick

:12:59.:13:04.

to the routine. I think these days, dads want to share a lot more in the

:13:05.:13:11.

upbringing of their children. Then, off to the nursery. And all of this

:13:12.:13:14.

is only possible because his employer is flexible. Allowhng him

:13:15.:13:19.

to turn up at the office later than normal and returning home e`rly For

:13:20.:13:24.

many male city workers, it can be a different story. I think thd

:13:25.:13:29.

perception from many working fathers is if they ask, it will mean the end

:13:30.:13:34.

of their career, a black mark on their card and the perception they

:13:35.:13:38.

will not be committed. Todax was the first meeting of a new networking

:13:39.:13:46.

group called City Fathers which hopes to challenge that. I have find

:13:47.:13:52.

that working full`time and being a father changes things. And they may

:13:53.:13:55.

help fight if others take advantage of new rights next year for mums and

:13:56.:14:00.

dads to share up to 12 months of parental leave. But is it rdally

:14:01.:14:04.

likely that a city high flydr will turn his back on a six`figure salary

:14:05.:14:09.

for several months to look `fter his children? Some might and thdy feel

:14:10.:14:14.

strongly enough that is the right thing, they should be able to. There

:14:15.:14:19.

is bound to be a limit, there are people who would never take that up

:14:20.:14:24.

because they are driven by the long hours. But for city dads who want

:14:25.:14:29.

more time at home with their children, there is not a wax of

:14:30.:14:33.

sticking advice and the founders hope that talking will soon lead to

:14:34.:14:44.

change. It's the anniversarx of William Shakespeare and even if you

:14:45.:14:47.

think you were let into his work, you have probably been quothng him

:14:48.:14:53.

without even knowing. When we say, neither here nor there, that is from

:14:54.:14:58.

Othello. The impact of Shakdspeare on our language and the citx has

:14:59.:15:02.

been celebrated all day so let's go to the Globe Theatre on the South

:15:03.:15:11.

bank. That is right. Audiences are getting ready to take their places

:15:12.:15:17.

inside behind me, the Globe, there is a special performance of Hamlet.

:15:18.:15:21.

This is a production which hs launching an epic international tour

:15:22.:15:26.

to mark 450 years since the birth of the Bard. And as Amelia reports

Celebrating Shakespeare at 39,0 0 feet. On this flight from G`twick to

:15:41.:15:44.

Verona, the complete works from Mike left to Romeo and Juliet were

:15:45.:15:50.

performed for passengers. B`ck on the ground, Shakespeare's 440th

:15:51.:15:55.

celebrations continued. Somd of his sonnets read by the award`whnning

:15:56.:16:00.

actor, Damian Lewis, at the Guildhall library. Shakespe`re is

:16:01.:16:07.

arguably our greatest export and might even be an argument for that

:16:08.:16:11.

economically. But certainly, in terms of the brand, they don't come

:16:12.:16:20.

much bigger. And he is taught in schools to have of the world's

:16:21.:16:26.

children, 65 macro in children. Everyday, school trips and from

:16:27.:16:31.

around the world, here to the Globe Theatre to get the Shakespe`re

:16:32.:16:40.

experience. `` 65 million children. And today, some were lucky dnough to

:16:41.:16:49.

see the cast rehearsing. To celebrate the birthday, the Globe is

:16:50.:16:53.

taking its production of Hallet on a two`year World Tour, visiting every

:16:54.:16:58.

single country on earth, performing everywhere from village squ`res and

:16:59.:17:01.

beaches to national theatres and palaces. Although he was born in

:17:02.:17:06.

Stratford`upon`Avon, many argue that Shakespeare was in London. He helps

:17:07.:17:10.

define London and most of hhs plays were about London, whether ht was

:17:11.:17:16.

ancient Rome or Paris or Vidnna or never, they are essentially about

:17:17.:17:22.

London and he had not only reflect the London that he wrote about, he

:17:23.:17:26.

helped create London. Whilst his works are almost 400 years old, his

:17:27.:17:35.

popularity has not aged one day I'm joined by the Executive Producer of

:17:36.:17:40.

the Globe Theatre. You are hn charge of this epic tour. It is certainly

:17:41.:17:46.

ambitious. How are you managing it? Obviously, it is an extraordinary

:17:47.:17:51.

undertaking. It is very exchting, one of the most ambitious theatrical

:17:52.:17:57.

projects of all time. We will leave on a sailing boat to Amsterdam on

:17:58.:18:01.

Sunday, and we will voyage to every single country in the world to play

:18:02.:18:06.

Hamlet. Is it going to be in English? How do you think atdiences

:18:07.:18:13.

will respond? The way that `udiences respond is the exciting thing. Some

:18:14.:18:19.

little people here excited. We think the audiences will respond lassively

:18:20.:18:21.

differently depending on whdre we are in the world. Sometimes we will

:18:22.:18:29.

be able to show surtitles. Sometimes we will ask local actors to explain

:18:30.:18:35.

what is going on. The breadth of audiences and venues is exchting. It

:18:36.:18:39.

must be logistically challenging. How are you getting around that We

:18:40.:18:43.

have an extraordinary team here who have been working for a long time on

:18:44.:18:51.

preparing this. There are so many difficulties with visas, making sure

:18:52.:18:56.

everybody has access, making sure we have venues, travelling frol a to B

:18:57.:19:01.

as quickly as we need to, btt we are doing well. To quote Shakespeare,

:19:02.:19:06.

brevity is the soul of wit, so I will hand back to you in thd studio.

:19:07.:19:12.

Very good, outside the Globd Theatre. It is thought to bd the

:19:13.:19:18.

biggest video portrait of a city, with 1000 Londoners telling their

:19:19.:19:23.

story of life. Each person features in a short film, including ` cage

:19:24.:19:27.

fighter from Whitechapel and the child magician. There are more than

:19:28.:19:38.

8 million Londoners, so who are we? This new documentary is aimhng to

:19:39.:19:43.

explore what makes us uniqud. The film`makers are creating 1000 films

:19:44.:19:50.

featuring 1000 Londoners. They include this girl, selling the big

:19:51.:19:54.

issue on the Strand. It is nice when you see somebody smiling. Wd want to

:19:55.:20:01.

make a project that paints London in its entirety, capturing every single

:20:02.:20:06.

part of the city, and the bdst way we thought of doing that was to do

:20:07.:20:09.

that by actually using the people, film and the people. There `re

:20:10.:20:17.

stories are a snapshot of the city. I will hopefully see you ag`in

:20:18.:20:23.

sometime. Londoners say the film`makers do not need to be born

:20:24.:20:28.

here. This is John, a Polish painter and decorator preparing for his

:20:29.:20:29.

first cage fight in Whitech`pel If somebody feels they are `

:20:30.:20:40.

Londoner and belong to this city then they are a Londoner. That is

:20:41.:20:44.

for them to say themselves. We have Martin, who is a cloth traddr from

:20:45.:20:50.

Shoreditch, last. We have Frank who is 14 your old boy who is treating

:20:51.:20:59.

his ADHD by doing magic. I `m normally very hyper but bec`use I

:21:00.:21:02.

can do all this with the cards I am actively treating it. I am

:21:03.:21:12.

channelling it into the cards. The first ten films have gone up on the

:21:13.:21:16.

website but they want more. Every time you go on the chewed you look

:21:17.:21:19.

around and there are a couple of hundred people you have met before.

:21:20.:21:24.

`` you go on the Underground. If you are a Londoner with a story to tell

:21:25.:21:30.

they would like to hear frol you. Definitely the most interesting

:21:31.:21:34.

thing about London is Londoners Now it is time for the weather forecast.

:21:35.:21:38.

It has been quite warm day today. There is a bit of heat in that son.

:21:39.:21:43.

The highest temperatures had to the east of London,

:21:44.:21:44.

The highest temperatures had to the about 16 degrees. To the west, it is

:21:45.:21:49.

a very different story. There is some rain on the way. Here hs the

:21:50.:21:54.

satellite picture. We have had this broadband of cloud thickening. You

:21:55.:22:00.

can see this coming in from the continent, that is bringing rain. To

:22:01.:22:05.

the west of London, it is arriving in London, and as we the run through

:22:06.:22:12.

this evening, it is pushing in. It is going to move through and by the

:22:13.:22:18.

early hours of the morning lost places will be dry. It will possibly

:22:19.:22:26.
