:00:00. > :00:00.keep you updated online. That is all from us. Now the news

:00:00. > :00:12.where you are. Is Tonight on BBC London: The Bank

:00:13. > :00:17.of England warns the recent surge in house prices could end in a crash.

:00:18. > :00:26.It comes as London's most expensive flat is sold for ?140 million. And

:00:27. > :00:34.why the Bank of England is warning the boom may not be a good thing.

:00:35. > :00:37.In the last few minutes, the RMT have confirmed next week's strike is

:00:38. > :00:41.on. I will have all the details. Also tonight, 16 months in jail for

:00:42. > :00:42.the judge who lied to police, but criticism that the sentence is

:00:43. > :00:45.racist. And the artist who uses the humble

:00:46. > :00:58.ballpoint pen to create these amazing portraits.

:00:59. > :01:03.Good evening. The Bank of England has given a

:01:04. > :01:06.warning over rising house prices. One of it's deputy governors has

:01:07. > :01:11.said that while the market could cool down safely, a crash is his

:01:12. > :01:14.biggest worry. Sir Jon Cunliffe warned of complacency over the

:01:15. > :01:20.issue, and dropped strong hints that new measures could be taken to force

:01:21. > :01:23.the market to slow down. The warning comes as a penthouse in central

:01:24. > :01:30.London is reported to have been sold for ?140 million, which makes it

:01:31. > :01:39.London's most expensive flat. Sarah Harris is in Belgravia for us this

:01:40. > :01:44.evening. Yes, this is the toughest warning

:01:45. > :01:48.yet from the Bank of England about what it sees as this overheating of

:01:49. > :01:53.the property market. Of course, strongest here in the capital,

:01:54. > :01:59.nowhere more so than in this neck of the woods where exclusive properties

:02:00. > :02:03.have been going for record prices. This is the stunning first floor

:02:04. > :02:07.reception room. A multi`million pound Knightsbridge flat for sale.

:02:08. > :02:12.Interior designed by candy and candy, a similar style to the one

:02:13. > :02:19.that sold just around the corner at Hyde Park for a record ?140 million.

:02:20. > :02:23.These types of property are not on the market long, according to the

:02:24. > :02:28.estate agent, who believes prices will rise even further, with Eastern

:02:29. > :02:32.European buyers fighting over them. I can see it going higher if there

:02:33. > :02:36.are more than one or two parties bidding for the same property. This

:02:37. > :02:43.property in question is one of the best properties in London, in a key

:02:44. > :02:47.building, potentially one of the key buildings in the world. But this

:02:48. > :02:51.heat in the London property market was described as blinking on the

:02:52. > :02:55.dashboard by Sir John Cunliffe, deputy governor of the Bank of

:02:56. > :02:59.England. In a speech, he said there was a risk of a major overshoot in

:03:00. > :03:04.prices, followed by a sharp correction, with negative equity.

:03:05. > :03:07.Many economists think it is right to make the warning. There are so many

:03:08. > :03:12.things pushing up the price of housing, which is already too high.

:03:13. > :03:16.We never saw the end of the previous bubble. Instead of getting a bottom

:03:17. > :03:21.and a rise from a correct level, we are getting a sharp rise from a

:03:22. > :03:26.level that was already too high. It is estimated one in 15 London homes

:03:27. > :03:31.are now selling for over ?1 million. Many of the top end buyers are

:03:32. > :03:33.companies from overseas, and some analysts believe the government

:03:34. > :03:39.should make those transactions more costly. Any property purchase,

:03:40. > :03:44.whether through a trust, a company or individually, should pay all of

:03:45. > :03:48.the taxes due on a property purchase and sale. I think that is one

:03:49. > :03:54.thing, so we need to see through from the property to how it is held.

:03:55. > :03:57.With properties looking like this going for ?10,000 per square`foot in

:03:58. > :04:01.London, it might not be surprising the Bank of England is also dropping

:04:02. > :04:06.hints about measures to slow down the housing market in the months

:04:07. > :04:10.ahead. It is worth bearing in mind that the

:04:11. > :04:14.Bank of England can use this kind of rhetoric to try to dampen things

:04:15. > :04:18.estate agents, they are saying there estate agents, they are saying there

:04:19. > :04:23.is an almost insatiable demand for these kind of luxury flats. I think

:04:24. > :04:31.it may not be too long before these words have to be replaced by some

:04:32. > :04:38.action. Stay with us tonight, as there's

:04:39. > :04:41.lots more to come. We are lifelong Millwall supporters, and later in

:04:42. > :04:48.the show we will tell you why it is important for us to avoid relegation

:04:49. > :04:53.on Saturday. Next week's three`day Tube strike is

:04:54. > :04:56.on. Talks between the RMT union and London Underground have ended with

:04:57. > :04:59.the two sides failing to reach an agreement. It means the walk out

:05:00. > :05:04.looks set to begin on Bank Holiday Monday at 9pm. Tom Edwards is at

:05:05. > :05:15.ACAS headquarters where today's talks have been taking place.

:05:16. > :05:19.Yes, talks have been going on all day and I was told these were

:05:20. > :05:23.intense negotiations. We were hearing positive and negative

:05:24. > :05:29.noises, a real mix. Just a few moments ago, the RMT said talks had

:05:30. > :05:36.broken down, the strike is on. That means the strike is going to start

:05:37. > :05:42.from bank holiday Monday at 9pm, 472 hours, until Thursday night. The

:05:43. > :05:46.last time we had a 72 hour strike was in 2007. This is what John Leech

:05:47. > :05:51.from the RMT had to say a few moments ago. We came here and

:05:52. > :05:57.repeated the same message which we made last week, which was that if

:05:58. > :05:59.they would suspend the implementation of their plans to

:06:00. > :06:05.close every single London Underground ticket office, lose 953

:06:06. > :06:09.jobs from the front line, then we would suspend the industrial action.

:06:10. > :06:14.I am afraid to report that they haven't done that. They have not

:06:15. > :06:17.taken up our offer to suspend the action if they suspend their

:06:18. > :06:21.implementation. They spent eight hours talking about very little, so

:06:22. > :06:28.regrettably the strike is still on. Not good news for commuters. The

:06:29. > :06:33.sticking point seems to be these 950 job losses and the review of ticket

:06:34. > :06:38.office closures. What can commuters expect? Disruption will be

:06:39. > :06:42.significant. London Underground managed to run 52% of services but

:06:43. > :06:45.that still meant a lot of problems for a lot of people trying to get

:06:46. > :06:52.round in the capital. Long`term, this doesn't look good. This dispute

:06:53. > :06:56.is getting increasingly bitter and ugly. London Underground have just

:06:57. > :07:05.come out here. What they have said is that they are extremely

:07:06. > :07:08.disappointed with what has happened. A part`time judge who was found

:07:09. > :07:11.guilty of trying to pervert the course of justice has been jailed

:07:12. > :07:14.for 16 months. Constance Briscoe was convicted at the Old Bailey of lying

:07:15. > :07:17.to police who were investigating claims that the former Cabinet

:07:18. > :07:21.minister Chris Huhne had passed speeding points to his wife. Today's

:07:22. > :07:35.sentence has been described as racist by the Society of Black

:07:36. > :07:39.Lawyers, as Chris Rogers reports. Constance Briscoe, one of Britain's

:07:40. > :07:43.first black female judges. She now has an addition to her impressive

:07:44. > :07:47.CV, the first serving judge convicted of perverting the course

:07:48. > :07:51.of justice. Her downfall was her determination to help her friend,

:07:52. > :07:55.Vicky Pryce, politically destroy her husband, former energy minister

:07:56. > :07:58.Chris Huhne, by revealing to newspapers that he had persuaded her

:07:59. > :08:01.to take speeding points on her licence. The subsequent

:08:02. > :08:06.investigation led to the pair being prosecuted. The final chapter in the

:08:07. > :08:12.scandal is Constance Briscoe's 16 month jail term. The sentence is

:08:13. > :08:14.double the eight months that Chris Huhne and his ex`wife Vicky Pryce

:08:15. > :08:20.each received for the original offence, in which he passed speeding

:08:21. > :08:23.points on to her. It is a punishment that has widely been seen as a

:08:24. > :08:29.message that nobody is above the law. But the Society of Black

:08:30. > :08:35.lawyers have condemned the sentence as excessive and racially motivated.

:08:36. > :08:41.What it shows is that still in these days we have the resonance of

:08:42. > :08:45.slavery and colonialism, and really blatant, in your face racism, where

:08:46. > :08:49.people can't see what they're doing. The justice system has a long

:08:50. > :08:54.history of disparity of treatment of black women, where we are still

:08:55. > :08:57.overrepresented in prison. Human rights lawyers have told us the

:08:58. > :09:02.sentencing is fair as Constance Briscoe was found guilty on three

:09:03. > :09:04.counts of perverting the course of justice, including falsifying

:09:05. > :09:08.documents to explain her role in getting the story into the press.

:09:09. > :09:12.The judge make clear this was three counts of perverting the course of

:09:13. > :09:17.justice she was found guilty of, and that she is a part`time judge who

:09:18. > :09:24.disgraced the justice system. You have to see it for what it really

:09:25. > :09:28.is. This is on the back`end of other people's unlawful behaviour. The

:09:29. > :09:31.Society of Black lawyers plan to lodge a formal complaint. Meanwhile,

:09:32. > :09:35.the BBC has learned Constance Briscoe faces further enquiries over

:09:36. > :09:39.her actions during a libel case brought against her by her own

:09:40. > :09:42.mother. An award winning head teacher faces

:09:43. > :09:44.being struck off after admitting a string of expense offences which

:09:45. > :09:50.include charging the school ?7000 for her birthday party. Jo Shuter

:09:51. > :09:53.had been credited with turning around Quintin Kynaston Academy in

:09:54. > :09:58.St John's Wood but now, she's been found guilty of "unacceptable

:09:59. > :10:03.professional conduct". Marc Ashdown reports.

:10:04. > :10:06.A darling of top politicians, a CBE, once head teacher of the year, now

:10:07. > :10:14.Jo Shuter's career in education could be over. She turned around

:10:15. > :10:20.Quintin Kynaston School, but in 2012 a whistle`blower raised concerns

:10:21. > :10:22.over finances. An investigation found she was personally paid

:10:23. > :10:25.?28,000 for public speaking in school time, and ?13,000 was claimed

:10:26. > :10:34.for overnight hotel stays for senior managers. ?7000 was spent on her own

:10:35. > :10:39.50th birthday party. Furniture for the school worth ?1500 was delivered

:10:40. > :10:45.to her home. Overall, they raised queries over at least ?40,000 in the

:10:46. > :10:51.budget. Jo Shuter resigned in June and this week admitted a large

:10:52. > :10:54.number of the allegations. This is the report into this professional

:10:55. > :10:57.misconduct hearing and in it the panel say they are satisfied Jo

:10:58. > :10:59.Shuter is guilty of unacceptable professional conduct, and they say

:11:00. > :11:02.they are taking into account the role of teachers, especially

:11:03. > :11:09.headteachers, and their influence on pupils, parents and the community.

:11:10. > :11:15.They say they should be viewed as role models. And the maximum

:11:16. > :11:17.punishment they can hand down is what is called a prohibition order,

:11:18. > :11:22.which would effectively see her struck off the teaching register in

:11:23. > :11:24.England. Some of the money was paid back, but Westminster Council

:11:25. > :11:32.referred the case to the regulator and said they felt it was too

:11:33. > :11:34.serious not to take further. She admitted using her school personal

:11:35. > :11:37.assistant to sort out speaking engagements and book holiday flights

:11:38. > :11:40.for friends and family, arrange rental of her luxury villa in a

:11:41. > :11:47.Turkish hotspot, all in office hours. There were also numerous

:11:48. > :11:52.personal taxi journeys charged to the school, and phones and an iPad

:11:53. > :11:57.for her children paid for, too. Some travel expenses were claimed twice.

:11:58. > :12:00.The panel did say the allegations did not refer to dishonesty or

:12:01. > :12:04.fraud, and some believe the story might not be over. We should not

:12:05. > :12:09.forget there is potentially a police investigation that has yet to be

:12:10. > :12:16.completed. So unfortunately this may go on a bit longer, but not

:12:17. > :12:19.necessarily at QK. I was trying to get through to Jo Shuter. She is

:12:20. > :12:22.currently head of another school in east London and was not available

:12:23. > :12:25.for comment. If the panel recommends a ban, the Secretary of State

:12:26. > :12:30.Michael Gove will have to decide whether she is fit to continue.

:12:31. > :12:33.It's emerged a Metropolitan Police detective has been dismissed after

:12:34. > :12:38.allegations that he sexually assaulted two colleagues. Detective

:12:39. > :12:41.Constable Alex Manz who lives in Surrey, was arrested in January last

:12:42. > :12:46.year after an investigation by The Met's specialist Rape and Sexual

:12:47. > :12:57.Violence Unit. Alice Bhandhukravi joins me to tell us more on this.

:12:58. > :13:01.Detective can Alex Manz was accused of sexually assaulting two female

:13:02. > :13:05.colleagues whilst off duty, but the alleged victims did not want to

:13:06. > :13:07.testify against him, so the Crown Prosecution Service decided there

:13:08. > :13:13.was not enough evidence to prosecute him. However, the Metropolitan

:13:14. > :13:16.Police internal watchdog, the directorate of professional

:13:17. > :13:19.standards, carried out its own investigation and Alex Manz was

:13:20. > :13:24.found guilty of gross misconduct and dismissed last October. What is even

:13:25. > :13:27.more disturbing was the fact that Alex Manz was a member of that

:13:28. > :13:33.internal watchdog, whose role is to look into the conduct of police

:13:34. > :13:37.officers. Not only that, but he was the family liaison officer for the

:13:38. > :13:43.family of Mark Duggan after Mark Duggan was shot by police in 2011.

:13:44. > :13:47.As such, he gave evidence to the IPCC. As we know, that was one of

:13:48. > :13:52.the most high profile cases that The Met has ever had to handle. Many

:13:53. > :13:57.people will be surprised by this but what have the Metropolitan Police

:13:58. > :14:00.copter say? They have been criticised for not disclosing

:14:01. > :14:04.information about this case until it was revealed by the Evening

:14:05. > :14:07.Standard. They have defended that position by saying it is not common

:14:08. > :14:11.practice for the police to put this kind of information in the public

:14:12. > :14:15.domain, given that there were no criminal proceedings. They also

:14:16. > :14:20.faced questions over how it is that this former police officer is still

:14:21. > :14:24.entitled to a full police pension. They have said that in order to

:14:25. > :14:28.forfeit his pension, police regulations require an officer to

:14:29. > :14:35.have been convicted. And in this case that is not the situation.

:14:36. > :14:39.Still to come before the end of the programme: Creating an amazing

:14:40. > :14:41.likeness using just a ballpoint pen. We speak to the artist who's adopted

:14:42. > :14:56.a very humble tool for his work. With European and local elections

:14:57. > :14:58.less than three weeks away, political parties have stepped`up

:14:59. > :15:03.their campaigning. And nowhere is that more apparent than in Croydon.

:15:04. > :15:06.The town that was hit by riots over two and half years ago is host to

:15:07. > :15:11.London's tightest contest for control of the town hall. Our

:15:12. > :15:20.political correspondent Karl Mercer has been to the area for this

:15:21. > :15:24.report. The people of Croydon are used to

:15:25. > :15:29.the hard sell and once every four years they get it in spades.

:15:30. > :15:33.Election time has arrived in one of the capital's key battle grounds.

:15:34. > :15:39.Croydon is the tightest fight in this year's local elections in

:15:40. > :15:42.London. Since 2006, it has been a battle between Labour and the

:15:43. > :15:46.Conservative Party. The difference is just for seats at the moment. It

:15:47. > :15:53.is a town that has suffered mixed fortunes. The riots of 2011 brought

:15:54. > :15:56.it unwelcome attention. Last year, more positive news. Plans unveiled

:15:57. > :16:01.for the redevelopment of the town centre. Mike has been the Tory do

:16:02. > :16:07.for the last eight years. He wants to stay on. One of the key things is

:16:08. > :16:14.council tax. People remember the last Labour council. They doubled

:16:15. > :16:19.council tax over 12 years. 27% one`year. Compare that to our record

:16:20. > :16:24.where people this year are paying the same or less than four years

:16:25. > :16:31.ago. For people finding it difficult financially, it is a real issue.

:16:32. > :16:37.Have you seen our manifesto? Same old from the Tories. Labour has a

:16:38. > :16:43.clear pledge that we would freeze the council tax in 2015 will stop we

:16:44. > :16:47.voted to freeze it this year as well. We will put that before the

:16:48. > :16:52.people of Croydon. We have got a manifesto for the town. The

:16:53. > :16:57.Conservatives have yet to publish a manifesto.

:16:58. > :17:02.parties, but it does not mean they parties, but it does not mean they

:17:03. > :17:06.have given up hope. There are people have given up hope. There are people

:17:07. > :17:10.up and Billy Morgan `` unrepresented. We need another pair

:17:11. > :17:17.of eyes watching over their mistakes `` there are people unrepresented.

:17:18. > :17:23.UKIP is standing more candidates in Croydon than any other borough. It

:17:24. > :17:32.is by no means certain we would support the Tories. I can envisage

:17:33. > :17:39.supporting some of our members `` I can envisage supporting Labour. The

:17:40. > :17:48.centre of the borough has always been a battle between Labour and the

:17:49. > :17:52.Tories. UKIP could win votes off both parties. It is very close.

:17:53. > :17:55.Which means lots more of this over the next couple of weeks.

:17:56. > :17:59.And there's a full list of candidates standing for election in

:18:00. > :18:06.Croydon on the council's website. Their address is on your screen now.

:18:07. > :18:19.Time to look ahead at the sport. Crucial games being played this

:18:20. > :18:22.weekend. Massive weekend for London's clubs. Tomorrow is the last

:18:23. > :18:25.day of the Championship season and the Millwall fans will be in full

:18:26. > :18:28.voice at the Den, needing a win against Bournemouth to stay in the

:18:29. > :18:31.Championship. The Lions' supporters are going through the mill once

:18:32. > :18:34.again after they faced a similar conundrum last season. I went to

:18:35. > :18:36.meet the fans and Millwall manager Ian Holloway to see how their nerves

:18:37. > :18:40.are holding up. Last week in the last minute of

:18:41. > :18:45.extra time Millwall were thrown a championship lifeline. It is in! How

:18:46. > :18:49.important could that be! Extremely important. To explain the

:18:50. > :18:56.significance I went to the cafe to meet up with lifelong fans Stan and

:18:57. > :19:00.Ted. To get to the last game and still be involved, it is quite

:19:01. > :19:06.exciting. You look forward to those moments. I do not want anyone

:19:07. > :19:10.looking at me on the telly when I am crying my eyes out at the end of the

:19:11. > :19:16.game. The responsibility and the chance to win. There is also the

:19:17. > :19:22.chance to lose, but it is having the chance to win. As they Millwall

:19:23. > :19:29.supporter, it is never easy. We have to do it the hard way. If Millwall

:19:30. > :19:34.lose or draw, they have to rely on the results of Birmingham and

:19:35. > :19:39.Doncaster. But if they win, they stay up. It is the easiest and least

:19:40. > :19:44.stressful result for everyone. It means the players have decided there

:19:45. > :19:53.will be no phone or radio updates from the dugout or in the dressing

:19:54. > :19:58.room. People will be listening to the radio. We cannot afford to do

:19:59. > :20:01.that. It is like a tennis player. If you throw the ball up to serve and

:20:02. > :20:13.then look away, you have no chance of hitting it. The fans have to act

:20:14. > :20:16.as the 12th man, an area Millwall fans consider themselves to be the

:20:17. > :20:27.best at. When you have experienced it, you know, you just know. This is

:20:28. > :20:32.our life. Millwall fans make the noise of 100,000 people. It will be

:20:33. > :20:37.something like that on Saturday. In its history, Millwall has pretty

:20:38. > :20:44.much seen and done it all. Cup finals, relegations, promotions. The

:20:45. > :20:46.hope is tomorrow that it will all be about survival.

:20:47. > :20:49.Good luck to Millwall tomorrow against Bournemouth, but it's not

:20:50. > :20:52.just the Lions with a challenging weekend. Reading need a win to

:20:53. > :20:54.secure their place alongside QPR in the Championship play`offs. In

:20:55. > :20:57.League Two, Wycombe Wanders could drop out of the Football League

:20:58. > :21:00.altogether after losing to Bristol Rovers last weekend. They need a win

:21:01. > :21:05.away at Torquay and to hope that other results go their way. It all

:21:06. > :21:08.promises to be quite an afternoon and you can re`live everything that

:21:09. > :21:12.happens on our football show, Late Kick Off, on bank holiday Monday at

:21:13. > :21:15.11.35pm with presenter Mark Clemmit. But if you can't wait that long, of

:21:16. > :21:18.course our radio station BBC London 94.9FM will be following the

:21:19. > :21:22.fortunes of all the capital's clubs this weekend. Including bringing you

:21:23. > :21:26.full commentary of Fulham's vital Premier League clash with Stoke. The

:21:27. > :21:29.Whites could be relegated if they lose and other results go against

:21:30. > :21:37.them. Relegation would mean an end to Fulham's 13`year stay in

:21:38. > :21:49.football's top flight. I think there is no doubt about it. We need three

:21:50. > :21:54.points. In order to have the chance to not be relegated. That is the

:21:55. > :22:01.situation, I think. There is nothing to say about it.

:22:02. > :22:03.And lastly it was disappointment for Olympic taekwondo bronze medallist

:22:04. > :22:06.Lutalo Muhammad. He failed to defend his under 87kg European title in

:22:07. > :22:09.Azerbaijan today. The 22`year`old from Walthamstow had to settle for

:22:10. > :22:15.third place. That's all the sport. Big, big weekend ahead. But for now,

:22:16. > :22:21.back to you, Asad. It is a very big weekend. I know you

:22:22. > :22:27.like your art, so take a look at this. This famous image of Audrey

:22:28. > :22:30.Hepburn shows her in one of her most famous roles as Holly Golightly in

:22:31. > :22:33.the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's. And although you may

:22:34. > :22:35.think you've seen this particular picture before, let me tell you, you

:22:36. > :22:38.haven't. There's something very special about what you see behind

:22:39. > :22:44.me. Wendy Hurrell explains what it is.

:22:45. > :22:54.Portrait of an artist, but this is not a photograph, it is not even a

:22:55. > :22:58.painting, look again. It is made with a ballpoint pen. Even when you

:22:59. > :23:03.are looking at it close`up, you still cannot quite believe it. I

:23:04. > :23:07.have had people look at the backs of drawings to make sure they were not

:23:08. > :23:13.fakes. People think they are photos. Some pieces of James's art have

:23:14. > :23:20.taken him 300 hours. If he makes a mistake, he risks having to start

:23:21. > :23:23.again. You cannot use Tippex because you can see it. If it is an

:23:24. > :23:31.emergency, you can get a scalpel but about as a risk because it can make

:23:32. > :23:39.it worse. Other ballpoints are available, but this is what he uses.

:23:40. > :23:46.Once cutting`edge technology, today it is a common implement. The bit by

:23:47. > :23:59.road. A typical drawing has over a million pen strokes. `` Bic Biro. He

:24:00. > :24:04.is something of a pioneer in photorealistic artwork. His latest

:24:05. > :24:13.draughtsmanship is on show until the 6th of May in Notting Hill. He has

:24:14. > :24:18.royal ambition. It would be great to do a royal portrait. That would be

:24:19. > :24:29.amazing. The ultimate. That would be amazing. Prince George! Why not?

:24:30. > :24:35.What an incredibly talented man. Now it is time for the weather forecast.

:24:36. > :24:41.We had rain yesterday, cloudy today, but we should have a decent amount

:24:42. > :24:46.of sunshine as we head through the next few days. Things are improving.

:24:47. > :24:51.Most of us had a dry day today. A weak cold front sliding southwards.

:24:52. > :24:57.Over the last few hours, it has produced isolated showers. Looking

:24:58. > :25:01.upstream, we have got clearer skies coming down from the North. They are

:25:02. > :25:06.not far away from the capital now. Give it another two or three hours,

:25:07. > :25:11.we will see all of the cloud go. Overnight, temperatures will drop

:25:12. > :25:15.like a stone. Clear skies with light winds. It will be called. In the

:25:16. > :25:20.centre of town, temperatures hovering around four, five degrees.

:25:21. > :25:28.Out in the countryside, a cold night with pockets of frost and the lowest

:25:29. > :25:32.temperatures down to minus one. Warmer around the Thames Street.

:25:33. > :25:38.Tomorrow's forecast. A decent day coming up. Cold start. But plenty of

:25:39. > :25:41.sunshine. Clear blue skies for most of us. As we head into the

:25:42. > :25:45.afternoon, there will be subtle changes with more cloud floating

:25:46. > :25:51.across the skies from the north`east. Still bright with sunny

:25:52. > :25:56.spells and a dry day. Temperatures up to 15 degrees in the centre of

:25:57. > :26:03.town, 14 or so for Guildford. Around the coasts of Essex and Kent, cooler

:26:04. > :26:08.and fresher. Onshore winds. That takes us on through Saturday

:26:09. > :26:12.evening, should stay fine and dry. The second half of the Bang, day

:26:13. > :26:19.weekend, Sunday and Monday, we will keep the high`pressure `` the bank

:26:20. > :26:24.holiday weekend. The good news is the weather forecast is for more dry

:26:25. > :26:30.weather through Sunday. It will be quite cloudy. Increasing sunshine on

:26:31. > :26:33.Monday. Temperatures climbing. Highs potentially of 19 degrees.

:26:34. > :26:43.Not bad at all. The tube strike. The three days of

:26:44. > :26:48.action is juju start on Monday at 90 after talks ended within the past

:26:49. > :26:52.hour without agreement. This is what London Underground had to say. We

:26:53. > :26:58.will be prepared to go through every station by station as a review. We

:26:59. > :27:02.said we would put on hold any voluntary severance. The reaction

:27:03. > :27:05.was, we do not think we can accept that, we will take this information

:27:06. > :27:11.back to the executive and I will not be recommending it. The strike is

:27:12. > :27:15.still going ahead on Monday. They rest often I's main news. The

:27:16. > :27:17.publicist Max Clifford has been jailed for eight years for

:27:18. > :27:22.indecently assaulting young girls and women. The judge said he had

:27:23. > :27:28.exploited his position in the world of entertainment.

:27:29. > :27:31.Pro`Russian activists using surface`to`air missiles have shot

:27:32. > :27:36.down Ukrainian helicopters. The government in Kiev says a pilot and

:27:37. > :27:41.a serviceman was killed. I will be back later. Have a good

:27:42. > :28:06.evening. Men are even less tolerant of women

:28:07. > :28:07.than they were before. It's shocking it'd happen

:28:08. > :28:12.in a public place. I don't find it funny,

:28:13. > :28:14.but I don't find it offensive. It really is vile.

:28:15. > :28:17.Shock value sells.
