:00:00. > 3:59:59Thank you very much. Goodbye from me. And on BBC One we now join the

:00:00. > :00:09.BBC's news teams where you are. Tonight on BBC London News, millions

:00:10. > :00:13.of journeys are disrupted by the Tube strike as commuters struggle to

:00:14. > :00:18.and from work. It's a massive inconvenience. I don't think they

:00:19. > :00:21.should be striking. I absolutely support them. It makes travel

:00:22. > :00:28.difficult. That is the point. The union says the action was well

:00:29. > :00:34.supported, but London underinsists half the services ran. The UKIP

:00:35. > :00:40.leader, Nigel Farage, takes his strong immigration message to one of

:00:41. > :00:46.Berkshire's most diverse towns. Plus A second show in London to transfer

:00:47. > :00:53.to Broadway. I feel I belong here a lot more now. Harry Potter on

:00:54. > :01:03.Broadway. Londoner, Daniel Radcliffe, on his late st

:01:04. > :01:07.performance in New York. Good evening. Welcome to the programme.

:01:08. > :01:10.The first full day of the Tube strike has disrupted the journeys of

:01:11. > :01:15.millions of commuters. Today's action, by the RMT, over plans to

:01:16. > :01:19.close ticket offices, brought parts of the network to a standstill.

:01:20. > :01:22.There is a row over how effective the action has been. London

:01:23. > :01:26.Underground says over half of services have been running, a better

:01:27. > :01:32.result for commuters than the last time the RMT walked out. The union

:01:33. > :01:36.insists the support for the strike was "solid." Here's nick beak.

:01:37. > :01:43.Rush`hour this morning, but these passengers were going nowhere fast.

:01:44. > :01:47.This was Earl's Court, West London. Further east, down the tracks at

:01:48. > :01:52.Liverpool Street, more crowds and more queues. Clapham Junction

:01:53. > :01:55.Station was packed as commuters looked to Network Rail trains, where

:01:56. > :01:59.they couldn't get the Tube as normal. Across the capital,

:02:00. > :02:04.Londoners who arrived to find stations closed asked themselves

:02:05. > :02:07.just how am I going to get into work? It's a massive inconvenience.

:02:08. > :02:12.I don't think they should be striking. It's been chaos because of

:02:13. > :02:17.this strike. It caused murder on the buses and cabs and everywhere you go

:02:18. > :02:24.it's chock block. I'm stuck. I'm debating whether to go home. It's a

:02:25. > :02:27.long walk! The Circle and Waterloo and City lines have been closed

:02:28. > :02:32.altogether. Other lines have been running, but with big restrictions.

:02:33. > :02:36.The RMT claims support among Tube staff was "solid." They cannot

:02:37. > :02:41.tolerate the cuts to their jobs, terms and conditions and the close

:02:42. > :02:47.sure of every ticket office. We are determined to stick it out until the

:02:48. > :02:51.end. But London Underground claimed more staff had come in to work than

:02:52. > :02:56.during the last strike in February. That half of services were running.

:02:57. > :03:00.A record number of buses had also been brought into action. This

:03:01. > :03:06.morning, as well as this evening, drivers were facing delays with

:03:07. > :03:10.extra traffic on the roads. Unlike previous Tube strikes, the RMT is

:03:11. > :03:15.the only union taking action today. So is there a danger they will lose

:03:16. > :03:18.the support of the public? Yes, I can understand people need to get

:03:19. > :03:25.paid properly. Whatever they are disputing. Fair enough. Don't take

:03:26. > :03:31.it out on us. It doesn't make me feel better. Do you support them? Do

:03:32. > :03:35.I support them? Is um... Yes... , but not right now. I absolutely

:03:36. > :03:39.support them. Of course it makes travel difficult. That is the point.

:03:40. > :03:43.Is not a view shared by the government. It's a totally

:03:44. > :03:46.irresponsible and unnecessary strike that impacts on the economy and

:03:47. > :03:51.makes it difficult for people in London to get to work. Once again,

:03:52. > :03:55.working from home seems to have been a popular option. More may well have

:03:56. > :04:00.taken to two wheels to try to navigate what is a bitter political

:04:01. > :04:06.row with Londoners caught in the middle. Nick is outside Waterloo

:04:07. > :04:12.Station for us this evening. What is the situation like there tonight?

:04:13. > :04:17.Good evening. As ever there is a constant stream of commuters making

:04:18. > :04:20.their way up to that famous entrance to the station. It's difficult to

:04:21. > :04:23.work out whether it's considerably buzzer or quieter than normal.

:04:24. > :04:28.Certainly people are making their way into the entrance without any

:04:29. > :04:34.problem whatsoever. Going down onto the Tubes. What is the picture they

:04:35. > :04:38.find there? I have been on the platforms in the last half an hour

:04:39. > :04:44.or so. I can give you a snapshot. There are four Tubelines, three are

:04:45. > :04:48.operating, with a reduced service, the fourth line, the Waterloo and

:04:49. > :04:52.City line isn't operating. That has been the case all day. One story

:04:53. > :04:55.emerging today is the number of people on the roads. We heard about

:04:56. > :04:59.a record number of buses, it seems many more people have been taking to

:05:00. > :05:02.their cars. There has been a lot of congestion in London this evening.

:05:03. > :05:05.That is likely to be the story for the remaining 24`hours. London

:05:06. > :05:12.Underground say that they have had 50% of services running. The unions,

:05:13. > :05:16.for their parting say, yes, they caused disruption, with these

:05:17. > :05:19.strikes every Londoner will have their individual story about how

:05:20. > :05:24.much they were disrupted. Nick, thank you very much. Today's action

:05:25. > :05:28.is the first in a series of strikes. Next week, a further three`day

:05:29. > :05:31.strike is planned. What is causing the standoff between unions and

:05:32. > :05:35.London Underground bosses? Is our transport correspondent, Tom

:05:36. > :05:41.Edwards, reports now on a dispute in which both sides are standing firm.

:05:42. > :05:44.Another day of claims and blame games as commuters dragged

:05:45. > :05:49.themselves through the disruption into work. Massive inconvenience for

:05:50. > :05:55.people travelling by Tube, it brings London to a relative standstill. The

:05:56. > :06:00.strike is due to changes in the Tube's history, job losses,

:06:01. > :06:06.redeployment, closing ticket offices. LU want staff on

:06:07. > :06:09.concourses. At quieter ones staff will work alone. We hope it will

:06:10. > :06:13.allow London Underground to move their position to stop being so

:06:14. > :06:18.dogmattic and be reasonable and allow us to get to a situation where

:06:19. > :06:25.they can call a halt to the job losses and call a halt to closing

:06:26. > :06:33.every single booking office and have proper, meaningful consultation

:06:34. > :06:42.without predetermined outcomes. This letter to the late Bob Crow out

:06:43. > :06:47.conditions as the union understand. Transport bosses say all ticket

:06:48. > :06:51.offices now will be closed. The RMT's approach has been just to say

:06:52. > :06:54.no to everything. I haven't heard a single constructive proposal from

:06:55. > :06:58.them over the last 40 meetings or so that we had. I wait for the

:06:59. > :07:02.constructive proposals. When I get them of course we will respond and

:07:03. > :07:05.listen. I don't have a monopoly on good ideas on this. I'm interested

:07:06. > :07:14.and keen on their ideas. Let's hear them. The Tube has a history of

:07:15. > :07:20.strikes. This was 1962. We are entering a turbulent period. TFL has

:07:21. > :07:25.to save ?4.2 billion by 2020 after its Government grant was cut. These

:07:26. > :07:31.changes will save ?50 million a year. It could also provide valuable

:07:32. > :07:34.retail space. Why don't we keep the ticket offices open to give people

:07:35. > :07:39.the sense of safety and security they want? The Mayor himself once

:07:40. > :07:43.opposed ticket office closures, politics is a big part of this

:07:44. > :07:48.dispute. There is a leadership contest at the RMT. Are Londoners

:07:49. > :07:53.suffering because of your disengagement here? No. I think

:07:54. > :07:59.what... What is happening, I don't want to intrude into private grief

:08:00. > :08:04.of the RMT, there is unquestionably I think an issue about the

:08:05. > :08:10.succession, the leadership there. There is a power vacuum. The RMT

:08:11. > :08:15.deny that and insist it's about the issues. The Government choose today

:08:16. > :08:19.to celebrate Catch a Bus Week, their prop got stuck in question l

:08:20. > :08:25.traffic. The message is clear ` sort it out. Everybody needs to get back

:08:26. > :08:29.round the table. It's insanity it turned into a strike. The Uno

:08:30. > :08:32.changes have to come. People are not using ticket offices any more. Other

:08:33. > :08:37.unions are talking to bosses about these changes. So far a compromise

:08:38. > :08:44.between London Underground and the RMT looks a long way off. And Tom

:08:45. > :08:49.joins me now. So, where do things go from here? We have three days of

:08:50. > :08:53.strikes planned for next week. The earliest we could get talks is

:08:54. > :08:56.Friday. That is cutting it really, really fine. An area of movement

:08:57. > :09:00.perhaps is the creation of these, what are called, visitor information

:09:01. > :09:04.centres. Like desks that are being created at some of the key stations,

:09:05. > :09:10.perhaps will get more of those. At the moment, both sides are

:09:11. > :09:13.incredibly entrenched. It all depends on how long each side can

:09:14. > :09:22.sustain this. It doesn't bode well for commuters. Thank you. Stay with

:09:23. > :09:29.us. Still to come tonight. We will have the travel details to help you

:09:30. > :09:31.get around the capital. Plus... Find out later what happened when we

:09:32. > :09:44.tried wheelchair rugby. A London UKIP council candidate has

:09:45. > :09:54.resigned from the party following offensive comments he made about the

:09:55. > :10:02.comedienne Lenny Henry. In social media messages he said Mr Henry

:10:03. > :10:06.should immigrate to a black country. Meanwhile, the leader of UKIP has

:10:07. > :10:10.been in Slough drumming up support for next month's elections. Nigel

:10:11. > :10:14.Farage has met with many local activists in what is one of

:10:15. > :10:19.Berkshire's most diverse towns. So how has his message of curbing

:10:20. > :10:26.immigration been received? Today he was campaigning in one of mosteth

:10:27. > :10:37.ethnicically diverse town. He says, no matter.

:10:38. > :10:44.Your immigration policy would have Slough not ever exist, why should

:10:45. > :10:49.people here vote for you? We have three political parties who support

:10:50. > :10:52.a total open door to 485 million people with no checks or controls of

:10:53. > :10:56.any kind at all. We support an immigration policy that says we

:10:57. > :11:00.should not discriminate against people from India and New Zealand in

:11:01. > :11:04.favour of Poland, Romanian and Bulgaria. We need an immigration

:11:05. > :11:21.policy that controls, not just quantity, but quality as well.

:11:22. > :11:26.Slough is one of the mosteth ethnicically diverse area. You are

:11:27. > :11:31.standing for us? You are. We have a Rabbi standing for us. A mixed race

:11:32. > :11:36.candidate in the North of England. A practicing Muslim who will win a

:11:37. > :11:46.seat for us in Yorkshire. We have a diverse bunch of people probably

:11:47. > :11:54.than the other parties. Traditional Labour vote have come over to UKIP.

:11:55. > :11:57.The We keep on having Labour and the Conservatives, they don't keep their

:11:58. > :12:02.promises. Elsewhere in the town UKIP's appeal is less obvious.

:12:03. > :12:07.People come from outside this country, willing to work, there is

:12:08. > :12:11.nothing wrong with it. Without immigration you can't run this

:12:12. > :12:17.country. People that are working and qualified and good for the economy.

:12:18. > :12:23.Lot of Eastern European workers are coming, in that way people are fed

:12:24. > :12:27.up. If he and his party have the success they are predicting they

:12:28. > :12:32.have to broaden their appeal. The battle to win over the voters of

:12:33. > :12:37.Slough could be critical. 150 years ago it opened as a small draper's

:12:38. > :12:42.shop on Oxford Street. Today, John Lewis has 32 stores employing over

:12:43. > :12:48.76,000 people. The flagship shop in London is celebrating the

:12:49. > :12:52.anniversary. We can join Emma North, who can tell us more. Down there you

:12:53. > :12:55.can see London trying to cope with the Tube strike and the

:12:56. > :13:03.rough`and`tumble of the high street. Up here we have a relatively

:13:04. > :13:08.peaceful place. A perfect location for sun downer. This was built to

:13:09. > :13:12.celebrate 150 years of John Lewis. It survived seven recessions, three

:13:13. > :13:15.depressions and two world wars. Since 18 64, John Lewis has pledged

:13:16. > :13:25.a certain standard of service to it Staff are lovely. The stock is

:13:26. > :13:30.beautifully displayed. I'm a fan. You don't work for them, do you? No.

:13:31. > :13:35.The The price is reasonable. The stuff is quality. I love John Lewis.

:13:36. > :13:40.John Lewis draper's shop on Oxford Street used a typical Victorian

:13:41. > :13:45.business model. In 1929 that his son established the partnership where

:13:46. > :13:49.the workers share the profits. How radical would it have appeared at

:13:50. > :13:52.the time? Very radical. There are newspaper articles going across the

:13:53. > :13:56.world explaining his system and why it was so radical and different to

:13:57. > :14:02.what happened before. The original shop was destroyed by a bomb in

:14:03. > :14:06.1940. The Oxford Street flagship was completed on the same site in 1960s,

:14:07. > :14:14.staffed by some people still on the pay roll. It started off in toys and

:14:15. > :14:23.garden furniture. I did boys ware, boys uniforms. I did wools, needle

:14:24. > :14:26.work. Overalls, stationery, buttons. Has John Lewis changed in all that

:14:27. > :14:33.time? The principles are still the same. It's just you don't feel quite

:14:34. > :14:41.as intimate as you were when it was a smaller organisation. It is brand

:14:42. > :14:46.that hasn't escaped parody. This website mocks the perceived smugness

:14:47. > :14:50.of their customers. They are accused of playing it safe. It is a fair

:14:51. > :14:54.criticism and one of their strengths. Over the coming years

:14:55. > :14:58.they have to think how to engage with younger consumers and look at

:14:59. > :15:03.self fridges and what they do in terms of their stuff. Shopping is

:15:04. > :15:06.changing fast. If it survive globalisation, the internet and a

:15:07. > :15:10.cut throat high street, who knows if John Lewis could see another

:15:11. > :15:15.century`and`a`half. A little bit of good weather this summer wouldn't

:15:16. > :15:23.hurt either. Let me pick my way past the ban in a ya plant. This is open

:15:24. > :15:27.open for the summer. They recreated the original draper shop. People can

:15:28. > :15:30.see what the original John Lewis looked like. It's open from

:15:31. > :15:32.Saturday. They just need the weather now. We will get that later on.

:15:33. > :15:41.Thank you. See England rugby union captain,

:15:42. > :15:44.Chris Robshaw is used to training sessions but today he was trying out

:15:45. > :15:47.wheelchair rugby. His club Harlequins have teamed up the GB

:15:48. > :15:59.Wheelchair team to promote the game. Our sports reporter Sara Orchard has

:16:00. > :16:02.the story. We're more used to seeing England's rugby union captain Chris

:16:03. > :16:05.Robshaw doing this. But today he and his Harlequins team`mates had a

:16:06. > :16:08.lesson about their sister sport, wheelchair rugby. In rugby people

:16:09. > :16:16.talk about the hits and the collisions and that's awesome. We

:16:17. > :16:20.hear the metalwork shatter against each other. That's why people love

:16:21. > :16:24.to watch the sport as well. Some big lads in the team so yeah it's good

:16:25. > :16:28.to get a bit of a crash and a bang against them. Tell me, you're being

:16:29. > :16:33.a bit soft on them, weren't you? Of course. We were warned not to injure

:16:34. > :16:36.any of them. We took it easy on them. Harlequins and the GB

:16:37. > :16:38.wheelchair team aren't just larking about. They've launched a

:16:39. > :16:42.partnership to share coaching and management expertise as well as

:16:43. > :16:45.building community links. Wheelchair rugby was one of the most in demand

:16:46. > :16:49.tickets at the London 2012 Paralympics and it was one of the

:16:50. > :16:53.first sports to sell out. But some of the lucky people to get those

:16:54. > :16:56.seats were the Harlequins players. Everyone loved it. The atmosphere in

:16:57. > :16:59.the stadium was brilliant. Guys getting flipped out of their chairs,

:17:00. > :17:05.guys doing ridiculous things in wheelchairs. There were guys who

:17:06. > :17:10.could sidestep and play for Australia which doesn't make sense.

:17:11. > :17:14.People know the sport now, they've seen it and heard of it. The crowds

:17:15. > :17:19.in London were absolutely phenomenal. It was the most

:17:20. > :17:23.sought`after ticket in the Games and I think we could have sold out the

:17:24. > :17:26.venue ten times over, to be quite honest. But since then, you know,

:17:27. > :17:30.our participation rates are grown by 40%. That's fantastic. I think Sport

:17:31. > :17:34.England will agree we are one of the success stories over the last 12

:17:35. > :17:37.months in terms of legacy. The GB wheelchair team finished fifth at

:17:38. > :17:40.the London Paralympics. With these new partnerships and increasing

:17:41. > :17:42.growth of the sport, by Rio 2016, hopefully they won't just be

:17:43. > :17:54.smashing metal but winning some as well. Some may still fondly remember

:17:55. > :17:59.him as Harry Potter but Londoner Daniel Radcliffe has had a

:18:00. > :18:02.successful stage career ever since. His latest play The Cripple of

:18:03. > :18:05.Innishmaan has just been nominated for six Tony awards after

:18:06. > :18:09.transferring from the west end to Broadway. Our Arts Correspondent

:18:10. > :18:13.Brenda Emmanus caught up with him last week in New York. There comes a

:18:14. > :18:19.time in every fella's life when he has to take his heart in his hands

:18:20. > :18:22.and make a try for something. He's proved he's not averse to risk

:18:23. > :18:25.taking by following his heart in making the career decision to commit

:18:26. > :18:30.to stage acting following his huge success as boy wizard Harry Potter.

:18:31. > :18:33.And after a sold`out run in the West End, Daniel Radcliffe reprises his

:18:34. > :18:39.lead role in the politically incorrect comedy The Cripple Of

:18:40. > :18:42.Inishmaan on Broadway. I wondered if maybe you might like to go out

:18:43. > :18:46.walking with me one evening? Fancy bumping into you in New York as one

:18:47. > :18:49.does. I think you've earned your thespian stripes now. Do you feel

:18:50. > :18:55.relaxed and comfortable with theatre? Yeah, I do. It's never not

:18:56. > :18:58.nerve wracking. As I think most people will tell you, it's an

:18:59. > :19:05.important part of your nightly process. But, yeah, I definitely

:19:06. > :19:08.feel, I suppose I used to walk into rehearsal rooms with the thought in

:19:09. > :19:13.my mind that everyone was going what's he doing here? He's only

:19:14. > :19:16.Harry Potter. What's he doing in the theatre rehearsal room? That's

:19:17. > :19:24.definitely how I walked into the room is on Equus. I was full of

:19:25. > :19:27.insecurity about that but then, having done Equus and now a musical

:19:28. > :19:30.on Broadway and now show in London which has transferred to Broadway, I

:19:31. > :19:34.definitely feel like they belong here a lot more now. He regards this

:19:35. > :19:37.production as his best stage work yet but critics both in London and

:19:38. > :19:44.New York have been impressed with his body of theatre work to date.

:19:45. > :19:49.How do you explain Whitman? What is your name? Allen Ginsberg. Of

:19:50. > :19:53.course, film is still a passion and Daniel now has to juggle both. Have

:19:54. > :19:57.you worked out how much time you're going to spend here in New York and

:19:58. > :20:01.in London the West End, how much time you're going to devote to film

:20:02. > :20:07.and theatre? I will always I think just be going with a most

:20:08. > :20:11.interesting work is. At the moment, I suppose I'm spending half my year

:20:12. > :20:15.in London, half my year over here. You know, I suppose ideally I would

:20:16. > :20:19.keep it like that. Being able to split time like that is a perfect

:20:20. > :20:31.world. If I can just say as it is, it would be perfect. The turning now

:20:32. > :20:34.to today's strike on the Underground. You've been getting in

:20:35. > :20:37.touch about your journeys. I'll share a few of them. Matt Jackson

:20:38. > :20:42.says his journey into town was fairly painless. He got on the first

:20:43. > :20:45.bus and got a seat. John Taylor from Cambridge who depends on station

:20:46. > :20:48.staff assistance because of a disability says he cannot praise the

:20:49. > :20:51.staff at King's Cross or Covent Garden enough. Tapesh Majumdar

:20:52. > :20:59.arrived at work on time. He says Tube strike will not affect us but

:21:00. > :21:02.just the strikers themselves. Thanks for getting in touch with us. Well

:21:03. > :21:05.with the strike continuing until tomorrow evening. Let's get a

:21:06. > :21:12.picture of how services are looking. Alice Bhandhukravi has the details.

:21:13. > :21:14.That's right. Well if today is anything to go by, the services

:21:15. > :21:17.which worked well today will continue to operate tomorrow, that

:21:18. > :21:29.means the Overground will be running tomorrow, the DLR, and there will be

:21:30. > :21:32.extra buses services. Tomorrow we can expect more problems on the

:21:33. > :21:37.following lines. First and foremost, the Waterloo City line, which has

:21:38. > :21:41.no service at all. All other lines have some form of service but there

:21:42. > :21:48.may be long gaps between trains and many stations are closed. The

:21:49. > :21:52.following lines are all running from one end of the line to the other,

:21:53. > :21:55.albeit with station closures so it's best to check before you travel on

:21:56. > :21:59.the Northern Line, the Jubilee Line and the Victoria Line.

:22:00. > :22:03.The Circle Line is running between Hammersmith and Aldgate, but it

:22:04. > :22:06.won't be stopping at Notting Hill Gate, Ladbroke Grove for instance,

:22:07. > :22:10.there are other station closures too on that stretch. The Hammersmith

:22:11. > :22:15.City is running but only between Edgware Road and Barking, again with

:22:16. > :22:18.station closures along the way. For the Piccadilly Line, there is no

:22:19. > :22:20.service, except for between Hammersmith Heathrow Terminal one,

:22:21. > :22:25.two and three, and between Arnos Grove and Cockfosters. It won't be

:22:26. > :22:28.calling at Heathrow terminal four or five. There's a patchy service on

:22:29. > :22:34.the District Line, with some stations closed en route. And it's a

:22:35. > :22:37.similar picture for the Central line, some trains are running,

:22:38. > :22:40.especially to the far west and the far east of the line, but trains are

:22:41. > :22:44.not stopping at all the stations on the line, so check for updates on

:22:45. > :22:45.that. Finally there is no service on Heathrow Connect, Heathrow Express

:22:46. > :22:56.has a reduced service. Alice, thanks very much indeed. And

:22:57. > :22:59.of course we'll be keeping you up`to`date with all the latest

:23:00. > :23:01.travel information throughout the strikes. There are regular updates

:23:02. > :23:04.on our radio station BBC London 94.9. And you can also follow

:23:05. > :23:13.developments on our website and on Twitter. Some good weather would

:23:14. > :23:17.help. Time now to get a check on the weather with Sara Thornton.

:23:18. > :23:23.We did better than we could have done in central London because we

:23:24. > :23:28.have had a few showers around but largely today they have been in the

:23:29. > :23:32.south and west of London. Quite heavy out there with some to come

:23:33. > :23:35.and they are cropping up towards the west of London says something to be

:23:36. > :23:43.aware of. For tomorrow, it's shaping up to be a nice day. A high of 17

:23:44. > :23:48.Celsius. It came after a fairly slow start this morning. A lot of cloud

:23:49. > :23:51.around but eventually I whole started to appear in the cloud

:23:52. > :23:55.giving as sharp showers to the south and east. A weather warning for the

:23:56. > :24:00.next hour or so but largely dying away tonight. The next area of

:24:01. > :24:05.concern is missed and low cloud tomorrow morning. It could affect

:24:06. > :24:09.some of the airport 's first thing tomorrow morning but largely, that

:24:10. > :24:13.starts to lift and we will see the sunshine starting to break through.

:24:14. > :24:21.And those temperatures zoom up once more. Warmer than today. 19

:24:22. > :24:27.Celsius, 66 Fahrenheit. We do have a change for Thursday. What a mess of

:24:28. > :24:33.a pressure chart. Low`pressure circulating around. A band of rain

:24:34. > :24:37.and heavy showers. And then some sharp showers getting going through

:24:38. > :24:43.the afternoon. A good chance of seeing them. Not too much brightness

:24:44. > :24:48.around and will feel colder. It will be colder still for Friday. We will

:24:49. > :24:54.start to see a northerly wind coming in and that is going to peg the

:24:55. > :24:58.temperatures back. 19 tomorrow, and then a slow slide in the

:24:59. > :25:02.temperatures towards the weekend. Friday itself, a lot of grey weather

:25:03. > :25:08.around, a lot of cloud, and it will feel quite cold. Some sharp frosts

:25:09. > :25:15.this weekend, gardeners beware of that. Then we start to wallop again

:25:16. > :25:19.towards the bank holiday. That's what we like to hear. Thank you.

:25:20. > :25:22.More on the day's stories on our website and I'll be back with the

:25:23. > :25:24.latest during the ten o'clock news. Thanks for joining us and have a

:25:25. > :25:50.lovely evening. Bye bye. We welcome immigration,

:25:51. > :26:00.we want immigration. # Time for hope and action

:26:01. > :26:10.to set our people free # Tell them all just where to go

:26:11. > :26:16.by voting BNP... # We think it's because

:26:17. > :26:30.the BNP message of hope is out of kilter with

:26:31. > :26:34.the politicians' agenda
