firepower in military exercises That is all from the BBC News at | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
six. It is goodbye from me. Now it is time to join the BBC news teams | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
where you are. Tonight on BBC London News. The tube strike is set to go | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
ahead after London Undergrotnd is accused of breaking a deal over | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
ticket officer closures. To begin with, TfL said thex will | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
willing to take a station`bx`station review and were going to be | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
open`minded. Now they seem to have reneged on that. | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
We'll be speaking to London Underground on the programmd for the | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
latest reaction. Also tonight: Suspended by UKIP but still standing | :00:33. | :00:36. | |

Good evening and welcome to the programme. | :01:11. | :01:18. | |
London underground has been accused of breaking a deal over plans to | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
close ticket offices. It coles just days before the latest in a series | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
of strikes set to begin on Londay evening. In dispute, are thd | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
proposed job losses if tickdt offices close. This programle has | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
seen a document which shows that transport bosses agreed earlier this | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
year to review ticket officd closures. But Unions say London | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
Underground has reneged on that offer. Our Transport Correspondent | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
Tom Edwards reports. More strike disruption looms on the | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
Tube. At the centre of the dispute, the closure of all ticket offices. | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
The strike starts Monday night. I think people who work on thd Tubes | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
provide a pretty good service. I think they are treated very badly | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
and I would thoroughly support it. You've got to have sympathy for the | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
Tube workers, but by the sale token I think I'm on the side really of | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
the commuter who have got to get to their place of work. This ldtter | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
sent to the late Bob Crow. Ht halted February's strike over the same | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
issue. It says London Underground will discuss a review including | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
ticket offices which could result in some ticket offices remaining open. | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
Speaking to BBC London 94.9, London Underground say all ticket offices | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
will be closed. Are you elilinating the idea that the best servhce at a | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
particular station should bd to keep that office open? Ticket offices | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
will close across the network, there is no question. Will you be | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
reviewing that? What we will review is how many ticket sellers we have | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
available in the concourse `reas, how many supporting people we have | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
around to help. The breakdown of relations over the review is a big | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
part of this dispute. LU saxs the timetable for the closures hs up for | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
discussion and it's frustrated at a lack of imput from the RMT. Union | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
insiders have told me they think the chances of the strike on Monday | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
being called off are close to zero. They think London Underground now | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
has little interest in compromise and feel the company is now out to | :03:01. | :03:09. | |
crush the RMT. London Underground claim new technology means ticket it | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
offices aren't needed, staff will be moved into the ticket halls. 95 | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
jobs will go but there will be no compulsory redundancies. However, | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
unions have concerns over s`fety. There will be some of what will be | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
called Visitor Information Centres which could be added to, but Labour | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
says politics is being put `bove passengers. I think it's a really | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
dramatic change to London's underground to close all of the | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
ticket offices. And to begin with, TfL said they were willing to | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
undertake a station`by`stathon review and they were going to be | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
open`minded. But now they sdem to have reneged on that and ard going | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
back to what is a very rigid and uncompromising view. I cert`inly | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
think London's passengers otght to be in this debate and ought to have | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
a chance to comment on what's going to be provided at their loc`l | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
stations. Business groups h`ve said they are baffled as to why this deal | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
has unravelled. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister has condemned the strike. | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
The RMT has written to London Underground requesting further | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
talks. Well, we can speak now to the | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
Managing Director of London Underground, Mike Brown. Thhs is | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
pretty simple isn't it? In February you offered to review the closure of | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
some ticket offices and now you re insisting they'll all close. You've | :04:31. | :04:39. | |
gone back on your word. Absolutely not. That is not the case. We have | :04:40. | :04:47. | |
said we will take any proposals the RMT put forward and we would | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
consider our response. Not `n alternative proposal has bedn put to | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
us other than us taking everything off the table. Let me quote your | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
letter. Your letter says sole ticket offices could remain open. Xou don't | :05:06. | :05:14. | |
want to listen to us. Let md put your letter to you. I said, if they | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
were able to come up with constructed ideas and we will come | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
up with a possibility of looking at a review of ticket offices. But that | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
has not been a constructive proposal put forward. We have reviewdd how we | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
treat our employees in this. Nobody will lose their job, not a single | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
employee will be forced out of the organisation. I'd don't know | :05:46. | :05:54. | |
anywhere else in the world... When you made that offer in this letter | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
they suspended strike action and they say they have written to you to | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
ask for talks? We have been talking to them for 40 days. The other union | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
who was involved in previous disputes is not involved at this | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
time. I want to continue with those talks. I am open throughout this | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
process is that if there ard constructive ideas that how we can | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
respond to modern technologx and provide a decent face`to`face | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
service for our passengers `nd help them out keep the fares low. For | :06:31. | :06:41. | |
commuters watching this, we have had five months of no agreement between | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
either parties and yet it sdems your position is hardening and you are | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
moving further away from thd agreement? Absolutely not, H have | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
never had a hard position in this. We have listened to our employees. | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
Our proposals through these transitional arrangements, no other | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
lawyer in the Private of public sector is being as decent. `` | :07:08. | :07:17. | |
employer. We have changed otr position. But what we have not had | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
from the RMT is any construct a dialogue or ideas from them. I do | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
regret that. I hope they can come up with some proposals and if they do, | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
I promise to listen to them. The RMT refute that, but thanks for joining | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
me. Lots more to come including: The | :07:37. | :07:45. | |
Heineken Cup, the greatest prize in European club rugby and tomorrow | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
Saracens will try to get to their first`ever final again as they take | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
on French giants Clermont Atvergne in semis here at Twickenham. | :07:51. | :07:59. | |
A UKIP council candidate who made racist and anti islamic rem`rks is | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
still to stand for the partx in next month's local elections. Th`t's | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
despite being suspended by his party leadership. Andre Lampitt wrote his | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
offensive messages on social media. UKIP is now conducting an | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
investigation into how he w`s selected to stand in Merton. Here's | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
our Political Correspondent, Karl Mercer. On Wednesday, Andre Lampitt | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
was one of the faces of UKIP's party political broadcast ahead of next | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
month 's local elections. A builder in Merton, he was also one of the | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
party's candidates hoping to be elected to the local council. Since | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
the lads from Eastern Europd are prepared to work for a lot less than | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
anybody else, I found it a real struggle. It's getting hard to | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
provide for my family. But ht's his views on social media that have got | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
Mr Lampitt into trouble. Wrhting on Twitter, he's described Isl`m as a | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
pathetic, Satanic religion. He said Nigerians were generally bad and | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
said about Africans, let thdm kill themselves. We live in such a | :08:50. | :08:58. | |
multicultural world and sochety to have someone with those views and | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
opinions actually being allowed to stand for what is bigotry and | :09:01. | :09:11. | |
racism, it shouldn't be allowed As a voter, no he should not bd | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
permitted to have such racist comments and be allowed to stand, | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
unless he wants to stand as a racist candidate. He's also critichsed the | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
Labour leader, Ed Miliband. Saying he wasn't really British but was | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
Polish. Andre Lampitt has not been answering calls from the BBC but his | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
party leader has acted. He has suspended him from the partx. | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
Someone's made a mistake, so I'm going to have an investigathon into | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
this and somebody must be disciplined for this. We haven't got | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
a monopoly on stupidity or on people saying repellent things. But | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
obviously given the criticism we faced last year, we have put | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
measures in place and mistakes have happened. I am sorry about ht. Nigel | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
Farage may have suspended hhs candidate, but this is the list that | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
voters in St Helier 's ward in Merton will face when they go to the | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
polls on May the 22nd. Finalised this morning after yesterdax 's | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
deadline to candidates, it clearly shows Mr Lampitt is standing and | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
shows his name is against that of the United Kingdom Independdnce | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
Party. The row over his comlents, it seems may have come too latd to stop | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
him going before voters. Thd 42`year`old mother accused of | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
murdering three of her children has broken down in tears at her first | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
court appearance. Tania Clarence was remanded in custody over thd deaths | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
of her three`year`old twins, Ben and Max and four`year`old Olivi`. | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
Tributes left outside the f`mily home. | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
This is where tension has bden focused since Tuesday evening when | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
the children were found dead in their bedrooms. This morning the | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
focus shifted a few miles away to Wimbledon Magistrates' Court where | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
their mother made her first appearance, having been charged with | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
their murder. Just before T`nia Clarence was led into the dock, the | :10:57. | :10:58. | |
public gallery in court number seven was filled with friends and family | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
members, including a clearlx emotional Gary Clarence. He listened | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
as his 42`year`old wife, who was dressed in black and sobbing | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
throughout, stated her name, her address and her date of birth. Then | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
it was put to her she had mtrdered her children, Olivia, Ben and Max. | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
Gary Clarence, seen here le`ving court on the left, had been in South | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
Africa with the couple's eight`year`old daughter when he was | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
told of the death of his chhldren. He flew back yesterday, along with | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
members of his family, who were also in court. They released a statement | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
saying they had suffered an extreme tragedy and were under tremdndous | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
pressure and strain. The postmortem on Olivia and her twin brothers Ben | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
and Max, seen here with thehr father, is ongoing. All thrde | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
children suffered from spin`l muscular atrophy, a condition which | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
can be life limiting. Tania Clarence has been remanded in custodx and | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
will appear at the Old Baildy on the 29th April. | :11:53. | :12:01. | |
A former met police officer will appear in court accused of hndecent | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
assault of a minor. Gurpal Virdi is alleged to have indecently `ssaulted | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
a boy under the age of 16 in 19 6. He will appear at Westminstdr | :12:08. | :12:16. | |
Magistrates' Court next month. A judge in the United States has | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
ordered a hearing to considdr new evidence in the case of a British | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
businessman in Miami for a double murder in 1987. The 75`year`old | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
spent a decade on death row before his punishment was reduced to two | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
life sentences. He says the evidence shows Colombian drug traffickers | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
were responsible for the killings. It is the biggest infrastructure | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
project in Europe with a budget of an early ?15 billion. The l`test | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
work on the Crossrail project is involved digging deep beneath | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
Stepney. This is a stones throw away from the | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
Olympic Park and in five ye`rs' time will be the entrance to the | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
Crossrail tunnel. Every building site needs good luck, espechally a | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
project of this scale. 10,000 people working over 40 building sites | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
across the capital to link the far West in Berkshire to the far east in | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
Essex. Excavation work is still taking place, but when it is | :13:16. | :13:23. | |
complete, this is the point I which trains from Shenfield and Essex will | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
go into the tunnel straight into central London. For passengdrs at | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
Ilford, the current journey time between Ilford and on street is | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
around 40 minutes with one change onto the Central line. Crossrail | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
will change that. Not only will there be a train every five minutes, | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
at the journey time will be 24 minutes with no changes. In Stepney | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
Green, this and will be a kdy point on the route. This is where trains | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
heading east bound from Whitechapel will fork into two branches. That | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
way to Stratford and Essex `nd then that way to Canary Wharf. Wd will be | :14:02. | :14:09. | |
able to offer those passengdrs walk through trains, quieter and | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
smoother. They will be able to take up to 1500 people, compared to a | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
London underground train th`t takes 700 people. Three quarters of the | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
tunnelling has been completdd. The Crossrail teams say they ard on time | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
and on budget with passengers able to use the service by 2019. | :14:31. | :14:39. | |
Still to come: We visit London's sewers to see the problems caused by | :14:40. | :14:48. | |
cooking fat thrown down the drain. Time now to get all eyes on Chelsea | :14:49. | :14:56. | |
and Liverpool this weekend. Not just for fans in the capital? It could be | :14:57. | :15:03. | |
a decisive weekend for teams in the Premier League at the top and the | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
bottom. Chelsea could raise their thtle | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
hopes a winning away at Livdrpool. They may have to prioritise again | :15:14. | :15:21. | |
because of the champions le`gue How are you doing? I would like to | :15:22. | :15:29. | |
talk to the Queen, please. There hasn't been another managerhal | :15:30. | :15:37. | |
change at White Hart Lane. @merican comedian was the face for an | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
advertising campaign for a coverage of the Premier League. And ht wasn't | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
just TV adverts, inside and outside of subway trains in New York got a | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
Premier League treatment. Even London cabs and the gamble `ppears | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
to have paid off. What happdns in our country is people like to watch | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
the best of everything, whether it is the best hockey, basket `ll or | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
you know, they want to watch the best soccer. The Premier Le`gue | :16:07. | :16:16. | |
offers the best soccer. NBC played ?150 million to show The Gales in | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
the US. 28 million Americans have tuned in at least once, double to | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
the number of viewers compared to last year. The big block buster or | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
product for Americans to watch this weekend comes from Anfield where | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
Chelsea, hoping to keep thehr slim title dreams alive, take on | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
Liverpool. Do you want me to laugh or to cry. Jose Mourinho wasn't keen | :16:42. | :16:50. | |
on giving away the plot, as in Will he play a weakened team and rest his | :16:51. | :16:52. | |
players for their champions league semifinal? Chelsea fans think | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
Chelsea deserves more respect than what Chelsea is getting. Thd second | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
thing they want is Chelsea to go to Liverpool and play as always, at the | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
maximum, giving everything they have. Which players is our | :17:09. | :17:20. | |
decision. Liverpool haven't won a title in a long time. With lore fans | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
watching than ever, they will be hoping for a Chelsea victorx, if | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
only to make the final few games even more exciting. | :17:31. | :17:37. | |
Away from Chelsea, Crystal Palace play Manchester City knowing they | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
could also have a big impact on the winner of the Premier Leagud. At the | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
city they take on Liverpool and go into this weekend on the back of | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
this vibe straight wins. Manager, Tony Pulis have guided them to | :17:50. | :17:57. | |
safety but wanted to praise the whole team for their efforts. It is | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
not about individuals, it is about everybody around the football club. | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
You galvanise people, you ptll people together and you get them to | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
work together. That is not just the 11 on the pitch, it is everxbody. | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
That is what we have done as a football club. | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
Tomorrow netball fans will be hoping that it's third time lucky for | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
Surrey Storm who play Manchdster Thunder in the Superleague Grand | :18:26. | :18:27. | |
Final. Netball's club show`piece is being played at the Worcestdr Arena | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
tomorrow night and the final is a repeat of the 2012 final. Strrey | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
Storm have never won the Super League title despite two prdvious | :18:35. | :18:36. | |
final appearances. Onto rugby union and tomorrow Saracens will lake | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
another attempt to reach thd biggest stage in European club rugbx ` the | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
Heienken Cup final. They pl`y their semi at Twickenham against French | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
side Clermont Auvergne. But pressure is starting to mount on the London | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
club to start filling their trophy cabinet. Last week it was another | :18:49. | :18:56. | |
win for Saracens in the Aviva Premiership. They have clocked 8 | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
out of 20 wins in the leagud this season. But this weekend thdy bid to | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
make their first ever Europdan Heineken Cup final. Taking on French | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
side, Clerment Auvergne, thd SARSis know that they fell at the | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
semi`final stage last season, also to a French club. | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
You have two class teams at the top of their game with wonderful players | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
on both sides. They will go hammer and tongs at each other. It will be | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
a brutal match. To get to the semi`final is a clear | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
achievement but clearly we want to go further. | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
Alarm bells rang out when Owen Farrell picked up a foot injury but | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
he pulled through in time to face Clermont's star`studded lind`up | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
They have left me alone with the trophy, so who would not be doing a | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
little armwork there. Yes, ht is heavy! But when it comes to Saracens | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
and trophies like this, last season they reached the semi`finals of | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
league, Europe and the L B Cup but came away with nothing. This season, | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
it is the league and the European double. But the pressure is starting | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
to build for the on`pitch stccess to breed silverware. | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
We are determined to go further than last year. To go as far as we can in | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
the competition. We want to ensure that we perform to the level that we | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
think we are capable of. I would rather be criticised for losing a | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
semi`final than not being there at all. And consistently we ard getting | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
there. We know if we are in enough of them we will win one of them | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
With three weeks for the cup organisers to fill Twickenh`m with | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
the clash, hopes are that the supporters turn out for the Saracens | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
tomorrow and cheer them on to the first ever European final and the | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
first trophy in three years. Well, a pretty massive weekdnd for | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
all of the London clubs. If you want to keep abreast of it don't forget | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
the radio station, BBC London 9 . 9. That is all the sport. | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
Good luck to everyone taking part tomorrow. How do you get rid of used | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
cooking fat when you have fhnished with it? Too many of us are throwing | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
it down the drain it is causing many unpleasant problems in the sewers. | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
We are going under ground, hnto a system that has served bene`th us in | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
one of the world's greatest cities for more than 150 years. But modern | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
life is testing London's sewers like never before. The main problem is | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
hot cooking oil, poured down the sink which cools and soldifhes down | :21:37. | :21:38. | |
here. What we have done so far is to climb | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
down the ladder into the sewer. Look, already, my gloves ard caked | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
in fat. There is fat absolutely everywhere down here! Then ht | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
creates what is known as a fatberg, and unlike icebergs, these `re | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
man`made. This one in Kingston on Thames was the biggest discovered. | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
Today's is about 150m long. What we have here is a layer of fat | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
about that thick, the water is going down the stairs and is going under | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
the fat that is floating on the top. The fat sets hard, and when I say | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
hard, I mean solid. Then we come back with the lachines | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
and suck it all out. It is really like clay. Amazing. It is lhke a | :22:29. | :22:35. | |
chalk. Solid and dry. Combined fat, oil or grease, known | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
in the trade as fog, with whpes cotton buds and other unsuitable | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
items thrown down the toilets, in drains and sewers, blocks and can | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
flood. The advice is to put the oil into the containers and then into | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
the bin. But it is not the greenest solution. If we collect it `t | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
source, like we are doing, collecting it directly from the | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
restaurants before it becomds a problems in the sewers, we can take | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
it to a power station that can create green energy for London. But | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
still, a huge amount is getting through. | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
It is solid stuff. It takes a bit of breaking! Oh, fresh air! Th`t was | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
quite an experience. An intrepid John Maguire reporting | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
there. Let's have a look at the weather this even evening and at the | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
weather with Jay Wynne. It was preter uninspiring today A | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
lot of cloud. But not just the London areas what covered in cloud. | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
Much of the rest of the United Kingdom was swamped by the blanket | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
of cloud. It was low cloud `nd under that it was grey with mist `nd haze. | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
Also a bit of rain. We missdd on the heaviest rain, that passed to the | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
south and to the west. But there are further showers to come over the | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
next few hours. But once thd showers have moved away it should ttrn drier | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
for a time. By the end of the night I suspect to see the next b`tch of | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
rain. In the next few hours there are showers. They are moving to the | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
north. Then it drys up for ` while. Then the winds freshening up, the | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
cloud thickening again and the rain showing its hand in the south and | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
the west. A windy start to the day. Mild as well. But also wet. But hang | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
in there. Give it a few hours and the rain moves to the north. Then it | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
will brighten up. A little bit of sunshine and the | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
chance of a few sharp showers into the afternoon. But with sunshine, we | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
should get the temperatures up to 15 or 16 Celsius. | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
There is a big game taking place at dicken ham tomorrow. The we`ther | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
should improve but always a chance of showers `` twingenham. | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
There are further showers to come on Saturday evening. | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
Bear that in mind if you have plans to get out and about. The breeze | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
will ease through the weekend. On Sunday it will be a day of sunny | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
spells and a scattering of showers. The showers can be on the sharp | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
side. But spells of sunshind again and with the sunshine the | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
temperatures at about 16 Celsius. That is 61 Fahrenheit. So showers | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
around through the weekend. The winds are strong on Saturdax. Notice | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
how they ease down through Sunday and on into Monday. By Mond`y it | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
looks like a dry day with a fair bit of cloud but also just that little | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
bit warmer. Thank you very much. | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
