and all the pupils to study there. That is all from us. Now we joined | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
the BBC's news teams where you are. Tonight on BBC London News: Five | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
days of tube disruption. The first of two strikes will go ahead from | :00:09. | :00:17. | |
tonight after talks break down. I think it is absolutely bonkers. | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
There is no reason for it to take place now. If you look at what we | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
are offering, it's a great deal for the workers on London Underground. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
We will talk to both sides in the dispute and have the travel | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
information you'll need. Also tonight: Anger at the ?800,000 | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
pay`out awarded to a triple murderer whose possessions were lost in | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
prison. Breaking America ` the London | :00:37. | :00:46. | |
film`makers making their mark at Robert De Niro's film festival in | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
New York. Good evening. First tonight, five | :00:49. | :01:05. | |
days of strike action will go ahead after talks between the RMT union | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
and London Underground broke down earlier today without agreement. It | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
starts with a 48`hour walk`out at 9pm tonight, ending on Wednesday | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
night, with a second three day strike planned for next week which | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
begins the evening of Bank Holiday Monday. The dispute is over plans to | :01:21. | :01:30. | |
close ticket offices. Tonight the Mayor described the strike action as | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
bonkers. We'll talk to London Underground and the RMT in moment. | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
Our Transport Correspondent Tom Edwards reports. | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
On their way into peace talks this morning, a glimmer of hope that the | :01:42. | :01:49. | |
strike could be called off. Are you optimistic? I'll go in and have a | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
conversation and see. We need a review of what is going on. Are you | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
optimistic? I must go, thanks. It was always a long shot, the talks | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
collapsed. Anything to report? We had a frank discussion with the | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
leadership of the RMT. We made it clear that our proposals are just | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
that, they remain on the table, but we are absolutely up for genuine | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
consultation. With new technology, we are making it easier for | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
customers to pay for their journeys... This is what London | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
Underground once, all ticket office is closed. It will get rid of 950 | :02:29. | :02:36. | |
posts and save Ford and ?50,000 per year. It will also mean restricting | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
the company. They say there will be no compulsory redundancies. Part of | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
the plan means the number of local stations where staff work alone | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
doubles to 125. While bosses say that stations will always be | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
staffed, expect more of this. At this station we could not find any. | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
Especially late at night, it is not nice at all. I think it is trouble | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
for somebody, but for me it is fine. If you need help to get through the | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
barriers or problems with your Oyster card, who is going to help | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
you? All of the unions are involved in consultation. But the RMT wants | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
London Underground to halt the ticket office closures. It has | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
concerns over safety. It says it would have suspended the strike if | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
bosses agreed to public consultation. What do you say to | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
Londoners? The strike is going ahead, unfortunately. We tried our | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
damnedest, trying to persuade them to withdraw proposals to allow | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
proper consultation and the people of London to have their say. This is | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
going to have a big impact, not just the next couple of days, but for the | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
future of the network. With more plans for strikes next week, the | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
chance of compromise looks slim. We are going to close 206 two ticket | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
offices, change the way that they operate and make them available for | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
other functions, we will do fantastic things with stations. That | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
is what we have got to do. But there is always room to discuss, as we | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
have already, about the terms and conditions of our employees. We look | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
after people in London Underground incredibly well. Commuters heading | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
home can look forward to two days of serious disruption and perhaps more | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
next week. Well let's | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
Tom Edwards joins us now from Warren Street tube station. This does not | :04:26. | :04:35. | |
look good for next week? No, I think a lot of commuters will be confused | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
and amused as to why we have got to this point. Certainly, no words of | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
compromise from Boris Johnson and from London Underground. The words | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
there, we will shut 260 ticket offices. It reminds me of the | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
dispute in 2010 over reducing ticket office hours. Then, the strikes went | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
ahead. But those changes were still pushed through by London | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
Underground. I think this could actually be a long, ugly, messy | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
dispute for London and Londoners. It could also be expensive. Given that, | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
thinking about passengers and commuters, should they be bracing | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
themselves for more strike is, more frequently? It's too early to say. | :05:23. | :05:32. | |
We may get a meeting on Friday, head of the strikes next week. Certainly, | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
I think there is going to be serious disruption tomorrow. London | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
Underground, during the strikes in February, only managed to run 40% of | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
services. Tubes would only start at seven o'clock. Expect more of the | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
same over the next few days. Thank you. We will have more on that | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
later in the programme, including a look ahead to the travel disruption. | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
Too budget for Berkhamsted? The campaign to block a Lidl from | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
opening in this Hertfordshire town. We are in New York, where two | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
aspiring London film`makers got the opportunity to showcase their work | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
to an international audience at the Tribeca Film Festival. | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
A murderer from Stevenage who's serving three life sentences ` has | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
been awarded more than ?800,000 in compensation, after some of his | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
belongings were lost or mishandled in prison. His pay`out includes | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
damage to an alarm clock and a pair of nose hair clippers. Neil Bradford | :06:38. | :06:45. | |
reports. He is serving three life sentences, | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
with a history of violence in prison. Kevan Thakrar of Stevenage | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
has served time in some of the country's toughest jails. After | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
stabbing three officers at Frankland prison in County Durham, he was | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
transferred to Milton Keynes Dons stop it was during the transfer that | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
a number of his possessions were damaged or lost. He was awarded | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
compensation totalling ?815. One of his victims says it is an insult. | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
It's quite shocking, really. It's quite hurtful. I haven't received an | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
apology or any compensation. I've had to move back into my parent's | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
house, so that might wife can get emotional and financial support. The | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
fact that my life is sitting in tatters and he has a smile on his | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
face, getting all of this publicity and ?800 of taxpayers money in his | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
bank. He was initially offered ?10 in compensation for the damage to | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
his property and the loss of his personal possessions when he moved | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
to Woodhill prison in Milton Keynes Dons to he flatly refused the offer | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
and instead took the case to the Small Claims Court. After winning | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
his case, the prison service were ordered to pay him ?814. ?314 .97 to | :07:59. | :08:09. | |
an alarm clock, stereo and nasal hair trimmer, and ?500 for the loss | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
of personal possessions, including photographs, toiletries and a carton | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
of cranberry juice. He was jailed for the murder of three people in | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
Bishops Stortford in 2007. Keith Cowell, his 17`year`old son Matthew | :08:22. | :08:30. | |
and Tony Bellew of Essex were shot dead in a gangland execution. The | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
reaction of most people in the town was amazement. It's very wrong. He | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
should not be given that compensation. He committed those | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
murders and it's very wrong. Much better things money can go on than | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
compensating someone like that. No, no way. In a way, I don't think he | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
should get all of it. He should only get about ?20, ?30, if anything. | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
Kevan Thakrar is still protesting his innocence. He claims he is the | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
victim of a miscarriage of justice. For the prison officers that | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
suffered at his hands, the only injustice is this ruling. | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
Parents at a private school in the family of a woman killed in a | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
crash staged by fraudsters three years ago has told the BBC's | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
Crimewatch programme, they're still struggling to come to terms with her | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
death. Baljinder Gill, who was from Stanwell, was hit by a van in a | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
so`called crash for cash case, aimed at defrauding insurance companies. | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
Three men have been jailed for their part in the scam. Marc Ashdown | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
reports. Baljinder Gill's death has left a | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
gaping hole for her family. She was a lovely daughter and she was full | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
of life. But she's gone now. She was very caring. Would look | :09:39. | :09:58. | |
after everybody. For a long time, I just refused to accept it had | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
happened. I miss her a lot. She died three years ago on the A40, the | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
innocent victim of an insurance scam. This red Audi pulled in front | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
of the white car, the intention being the driver of this van behind, | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
who was not involved in the scam, would accidentally hit it. But he | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
managed to avoid the crash. Baljinder couldn't stop, and hit him | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
from behind. As she got out to inspect the damage, another van | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
crashed into her. Passengers on a passing coach witnessed what | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
happened next, their horror all too clear. It was described in court as | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
an explosion of metal, glass and dust. Baljinder died instantly. My | :10:38. | :10:46. | |
sister was like my second mother. There is no one who will ever take | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
place. Never take her place. These are the men responsible, sentenced | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
in February to ten years in jail. Andrzej Skowron, Radoslaw Bielawski | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
and Jacek Kowalczyk were set to make ?20,000 from the crash. The judge | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
said they were ruthless. These scams cost insurers nearly ?400 million a | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
year, adding ?50 per person to our premiums. One in seven injury claims | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
are linked to crash for cash collisions. This was the first time | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
someone has died as a result. To me, there is no life for me without her. | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
Of course, when a person is gone they'll never come back. It's only | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
memories with us. And you can see more on that story | :11:26. | :11:34. | |
this evening on Crimewatch. That's at nine o'clock here on BBC One. | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
Returning to our top story, the tube strike which begins at nine o'clock | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
this evening, we can now speak to both parties involved. Phil Hufton | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
is the chief operating officer for London Underground and joins us from | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
Westminster. Also, John Leach, from the RMT union, is outside Bethnal | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
Green tube station. Thank you for joining us. John Leach, if I can | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
turn to you first. What will it take for RMT to call off this strike? | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
Well, we made it clear this morning, when we had our meeting at ACAS, | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
what it would take is for the underground to suspend the | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
limitation of the booking office closure programme, the 953 job | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
cuts, suspend that until further notice, until we have had a proper | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
consultation, including the people of London, GLA members, the wider | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
community and the staff included. That is what it will take. We have | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
spent months with this and it has not happened, enough is enough. Phil | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
Hufton, if I can turn to you, why is that so unreasonable to London | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
Underground? I am absolutely dismayed we are at this point. We | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
have been discussing this proposal since November last year. The RMT | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
have not once come forward with any credible alternatives. We are always | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
ready to listen. Please, we do need the RMT to talk to others and make | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
alternative proposals. They haven't done that. John Leach, if London | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
Underground agreed to review ticket office closures station by station, | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
would you suspend the strike? They offered that review to my latest | :13:18. | :13:26. | |
general secretary let `` my late General Secretary nine months ago. | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
It's not happened. It needs more of a consultation band going through | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
every station and looking at the ticket office. The wider implication | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
of these job cuts on customer safety is incredible. They need to sit down | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
and suspend the and limitation of this booking office closure, 950 | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
jobs out of the front line, just to start with. There are ?4.2 billion | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
to be saved. A comprehensive review is essential, but they need to | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
suspend the lamentation. We offered this morning to suspend strike | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
action if they would suspend the fermentation, and they said no. They | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
have already agreed to no compulsory redundancies. How long do you think | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
your members can afford to lose pay like this? It is a five`day action. | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
The resolve of my union and the membership, the largest union of the | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
London Underground, is profound. We are in it for keeps. They have a | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
seven year savings programme that will save them ?4.2 billion. We have | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
the resolve it takes to stand fast and do what it takes, to do what is | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
right for the people of London, the staff that work on the London | :14:42. | :14:43. | |
Underground and work very hard. They deserve a lot better than they have | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
been offered. You have heard there, the resolve of the RMT. How have | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
relations between London Underground and the unions got to this? I really | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
don't know. John is right, we volunteered to do a station by | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
station review. Over the last eight weeks we decided, collectively, with | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
all four unions, that we would definitely look at categorising the | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
stations. We did that and, since those times, we have been discussing | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
over the last couple of weeks a station by station review. I have to | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
make it clear, yes, we are looking to save money. If we close these | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
ticket offices, we can save ?50 million. ?50 million per annum we | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
can reinvest into the tube, that will come down on fares. Any good | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
employer, any good management team would always be looking to save | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
money, to be more efficient, to help our customers. Thank you both very | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
much indeed. I think we have just got a tiny glimpse of the | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
negotiations today. Thank you both for your time. | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
As we have been hearing, the first 48`hour walk`out begins at nine | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
o'clock. Let's get a picture of how things are looking. | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
First, let's start with which services are going to be affected. | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
Let's start with good news, firstly, the DLR London Overground and tram | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
link, National rail services, they are going to be running as normal. | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
Let's get to the nitty`gritty. Parts of the network are going to be | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
totally paralysed. Let's look at the picture we are expecting tomorrow. | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
We are expecting no service at all on the service dash Circle line or | :16:21. | :16:28. | |
the city line. Even where parts of the line are going to be open, | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
trains may not be stopping at all stations. You have to check if your | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
particular station will be open. The Northern line in particular is going | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
to have severe station closures. We should definitely mention Heathrow. | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
Piccadilly lines are only going to be stopping at terminals one, two | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
and three. We have the added problem of Heathrow connect services. It | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
will be difficult getting in and out of Heathrow. The millions of | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
commuters caught up in this, what, if anything is being done to help | :17:01. | :17:13. | |
them? And services being laid on. These proved really both of which | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
were very popular last time and we are expecting things to return to | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
normal on Thursday morning. And all this starts tonight? Yes. This is | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
how the network's looking now, the evening commute running fairly | :17:24. | :17:25. | |
smoothly but it'll be a different story from nine when the strike | :17:26. | :17:27. | |
starts. smoothly but it'll be a different | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
story from nine That is not too bad. But it will look very different | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
from nine o'clock tonight. It is going to be a particular problem for | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
fans leaving the Arsenal Newcastle game at the Emirates Stadium. Fans | :17:45. | :17:46. | |
leaving the ground are being urged to think about how they're going to | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
get home in advance. And the advice to anyone hoping to use the tube | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
over the next few days is to check the latest travel information before | :17:55. | :18:02. | |
you set out. And we will keep you up`to`date with all the latest | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
travel information throughout the strikes. There are regular updates | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
on our radio station BBC London 94.9 and you can also follow developments | :18:11. | :18:11. | |
on our website and on Twitter. and you can also follow developments | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
on our website and on Campaigners in Hertfordshire are attempting to | :18:20. | :18:21. | |
block a budget supermarket from being built... Amid claims of | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
snobbery. Those opposed to Lidl from opening in Berkhamsted argue it | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
doesn't fit the town's 'profile'. Now they've launched a petition to | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
try and stop the development from going ahead. Sarah Harris has the | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
story. Burke instead, a popular market town 30 minutes from central | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
London. It is well`known for its canal and busy shops and | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
restaurants. But plans to open a Lidl discount store which could | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
create 40 jobs have met with disapproval from many residents. | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
Cathy is behind a 150 name petition opposing the store. She denies it is | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
snobbery. Why do not know what sort of socioeconomic group shop in Lidl | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
or any other budget supermarket. I have not been to one around here so | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
why do not know. But they may feel that they have a marketeer. I'm not | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
sure that there is one. As prices have continued rising here over the | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
last few years according to this local estate agent. And it appears | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
that certain supermarkets have a pool for aspirational middle`class | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
buyers. He believes this adds value to the town's housing stock. | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
Waitrose, Marks Spencers, but what was being appealing to the type of | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
buyer that is attracted to this town. Whether the budget oriented | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
outlet will be as appealing or it will have the opposite effect, it is | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
too early to say. Lidl would not allow us to film inside their store | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
today but outside one of the nearest, regular shopper, was | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
advising her neighbours to be more open`minded. `` regular shopper, | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
June. They have good quality, and unusual things that you do not see | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
at the general supermarket. The campaigners say the town needs more | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
services and not another supermarket, and April Lidl petition | :20:12. | :20:19. | |
has been started. `` a role. A consultation will begin later in the | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
year. Co`founded by Hollywood star Robert | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
De Niro, it's become one of the most prestigious international film | :20:30. | :20:31. | |
festivals. And this year's Tribeca Film Festival gave two aspiring | :20:32. | :20:33. | |
London film`makers the opportunity to showcase their work in New York, | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
the biggest break in their careers so far. Our Entertainment | :20:38. | :20:38. | |
Correspondent Brenda Emmanus followed their journey. There is | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
some flash photography in her report. | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
In its 13 year history, New York's Trebek Film Festival has become one | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
of the most significant events in it `` of its kind, showing the best of | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
the capital was my talent. As enthusiasts made the most of the | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
wealth of films, documentaries and new technology on show here at the | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
festival, two London film makers got the opportunity to showcase their | :21:10. | :21:11. | |
work to industry professionals as finalists of the imagination film | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
competition. Facing the press were the lucky | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
five, whose outstanding creativity one then a trip to the Big Apple. | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
Their challenge had been to produce a short movie inspired by a script | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
written by Geoffrey Fletcher, the Oscar`winning screenwriter. | :21:29. | :21:38. | |
In Reflections, a hidden mirror reveals dark secrets about a | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
couple's relationship. You never need an excuse to come to New York, | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
but to come under these circumstances with a film at | :21:48. | :21:56. | |
Tribeca, it is unbelievable. Anthony already had a thriller idea | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
in development and a science`fiction project put him in the semifinals of | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
the gold mined script competition in 2012. This experience offered a new | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
challenges. When I'm in London, I am constantly writing. I have four | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
other shorts I'm working on. This competition is really motivating me. | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
It has reminded me of how good a short film can be. There is a | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
message. For me. The other London finalist was sci`fi fan, Chris | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
Cornwell. Judges were impressed with his execution of a space adventure | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
that takes a dramatic turn in Exit Logger. It is the first prescription | :22:37. | :22:45. | |
eye handed over to someone else. `` the first prescription eye handed | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
over. Seeing it made, and seeing the spaceship built from the IDI had, it | :22:51. | :23:02. | |
was amazing. `` idea I had. When you look back and think of the great | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
film makers over time, almost all of them started out making short form | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
films. I think this is a great opportunity for these film makers to | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
get to showcase their work. And I think they can go on to do future | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
work for Hollywood and elsewhere. This trip may be the start of great | :23:20. | :23:27. | |
things for this year's finalists. Let's cross over to Wendy for the | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
forecast. What is going on with the weather? | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
Scherer dodging for some of us. There is a change on the way. Today, | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
if you have one of these showers, you will really know about it. More | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
often than not, it was a dry day but some of these, as you can see, are | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
rather heavy. And we continue with those as we go through the start of | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
the week. It will settle down then, and become colder. It has been | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
fairly warm for the time of year today. Going through the evening, | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
these areas across Kent and Sussex and Surrey, and north of London, | :24:03. | :24:09. | |
will see some showers. But largely, it will be dry for a time before the | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
cloud fills in. We could see some showers dotted in around the Thames | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
history. Temperatures holding at nine or 10 degrees. For most of us, | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
a mild one. And starting tomorrow with that long bus queue, I'm sure. | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
Starting with some cloud. But hopefully, not many of these showers | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
for London. Some of them will be slow`moving, and heavy and | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
thundering as well, possibly. We are at risk of a shower throughout the | :24:43. | :24:44. | |
afternoon with temperatures getting to 70 degrees. However, there is | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
colder weather on the way. We still have my over a on Thursday but by | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
Friday, but colder weather will move south, bringing brisk, | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
north`easterly wind with it. It will certainly have an effect on the | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
temperatures. Through Wednesday, a fair amount of cloud but still some | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
showers. Thursday, there will be wet weather across the middle of the | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
day. That means we will get north`easterly wind through on | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
Friday. But hopefully, we will dodge the showers first thing tomorrow. | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
Hopefully. A reminder of the headlines: A | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
teacher has died in hospital after being stabbed at a school in Leeds. | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
Anne McGuire was 61 and taught Spanish and religious education at | :25:24. | :25:25. | |
Corpus Christi Catholic College. A 15`year`old boy has been arrested. | :25:26. | :25:36. | |
And a 48`hour tube strike will begin at nine o'clock tonight after | :25:37. | :25:38. | |
last`ditch talks failed. The dispute between the RMT Union and London | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
Underground is over ticket office closures. | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
And a reminder we'll have the latest travel news for you in our bulletins | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
