:00:12. > :00:17.Good evening. Next week's three`day Tube strike is on. Earlier this
:00:18. > :00:20.evening, talks between union leaders and London Underground ended with
:00:21. > :00:24.the two sides failing to reach an agreement. Tonight, Mayor Boris
:00:25. > :00:27.Johnson said "London was being held to ransom by the RMT union", who are
:00:28. > :00:35.angry at the proposed closure of ticket offices. Here's our transport
:00:36. > :00:39.correspondent, Tom Edwards. Next week, you can now expect more
:00:40. > :00:41.of this. Queues, cramped trains and congested roads as today, talks at
:00:42. > :00:52.the conciliation service ACAS broke down. It's the inconvenience it
:00:53. > :00:57.causes and they know that we rely so heavily upon it. It's got to be, but
:00:58. > :01:05.what can you do really? Why bother? They earn enough money as it is.
:01:06. > :01:09.Change has got to happen. It's nonsense, absolute nonsense. Luckily
:01:10. > :01:13.it doesn't bother me that much because I can walk to work every day
:01:14. > :01:16.so I am not affected by it. This dispute is over closing ticket
:01:17. > :01:19.offices and job losses. Bosses want staff in the ticket halls and say
:01:20. > :01:22.there will be no compulsory redundancies. The RMT union says
:01:23. > :01:28.it's a safety risk and want review of the closures. There was some
:01:29. > :01:35.movement today from both sides ` it wasn't enough. They've not taken up
:01:36. > :01:39.our offer to suspend the action and the implementation. They spent eight
:01:40. > :01:45.hours talking about very little. Regrettably the strike is still on.
:01:46. > :01:52.The strike is due to start on Monday at 9:00pm. It will last 72 hours and
:01:53. > :01:56.finish on Thursday night. The sticking point with the talks were
:01:57. > :02:00.the 950 job losses and the review of the closure of all of the ticket
:02:01. > :02:05.offices. But this is becoming an increasingly bitter and ugly
:02:06. > :02:10.dispute. The last time we had a 72 hour strike was in 2007. London
:02:11. > :02:18.Underground says it's extremely disappointed the talks failed. We
:02:19. > :02:21.put together a form of words. We said we would extend and put this
:02:22. > :02:25.current proposal on hold for three to four weeks. We said we would be
:02:26. > :02:29.prepared to go through a station by station review and at the end of the
:02:30. > :02:34.24 week period we would come back to ACAS. We said we would put on hold
:02:35. > :02:39.any voluntary severance and any other agreements that were put in
:02:40. > :02:43.place previously. In return I asked for the RMT to withdraw this
:02:44. > :02:46.dispute. Their reaction was, we don't think we can accept that,
:02:47. > :02:51.we're going to take this information back to the executive and I will not
:02:52. > :02:56.recommending it. That was the view of the RMT. That means commuters are
:02:57. > :03:04.again bracing themselves for more disruption. At the moment no talks
:03:05. > :03:07.are planned for the weekend. Firefighters were on strike today `
:03:08. > :03:11.in the first of a series of walk`outs which will continue over
:03:12. > :03:14.this Bank Holiday weekend. The action lasted five hours. Tomorrow,
:03:15. > :03:18.there'll be another walk`out, with a further strike planned for Sunday.
:03:19. > :03:22.It's over a long`running dispute over pensions.
:03:23. > :03:25.The Bank of England has said it would be dangerous to ignore the
:03:26. > :03:29.surge in house prices over the past year. One of its deputy governors
:03:30. > :03:33.has said a property crash is the biggest worry. The warning comes as
:03:34. > :03:39.a penthouse in central London is reported to have been sold for ?140
:03:40. > :03:41.million. An award`winning headteacher faces
:03:42. > :03:44.being struck off after admitting a string of expense offences ` which
:03:45. > :03:51.include charging the school ?7,000 for her own birthday party. Jo
:03:52. > :03:56.Shuter had been credited with turning around Quintin Kynaston
:03:57. > :04:00.Academy in St John's Wood. But now she's been found guilty of
:04:01. > :04:07."unacceptable professional conduct". Marc Ashdown reports.
:04:08. > :04:10.A darling of top politicians, a CBE. Once headteacher of the year. Now,
:04:11. > :04:17.Jo Shuter's career in education could be over. Welcome to the
:04:18. > :04:21.school. This is an outstanding school. She turned around Quintin
:04:22. > :04:23.Kynaston School but in 2012 a whistle`blower raised concerns over
:04:24. > :04:25.the finances. A government investigation found she was
:04:26. > :04:28.personally paid ?28,000 public speaking in school time, ?13,000 was
:04:29. > :04:37.claimed for overnight hotel stays for senior managers, ?7,000 was
:04:38. > :04:41.spent on her 50th birthday party. Furniture for the school worth
:04:42. > :04:47.?1,500 was delivered to her home. Overall they raised queries on at
:04:48. > :04:50.least ?40,000 in the budget. Jo Shuter resigned in June and this
:04:51. > :04:55.week, in front of a government panel, admitted a large number of
:04:56. > :04:58.the allegations. This is the report into this professional misconduct
:04:59. > :05:00.and in it the panel say they are satisfied Jo Shuter is guilty of
:05:01. > :05:03.unacceptable professional misconduct and they do so taking into account
:05:04. > :05:11.the role of teachers, especially headteachers and their influence on
:05:12. > :05:15.pupils, parents and the community. They say they should be viewed as
:05:16. > :05:18.role models. The maximum punishment they can hand down is what is called
:05:19. > :05:23.a prohibition order, which would effectively see Jo Shuter struck off
:05:24. > :05:26.the teaching register in England. Some of the money was paid back but
:05:27. > :05:30.Westminster Council referred the case to the regulator and said today
:05:31. > :05:37.they felt the matter was too serious not to take further. You come to the
:05:38. > :05:39.school as a role model. She admitted using her school personal assistant
:05:40. > :05:42.to sort out speaking engagements and book holiday flights for friends and
:05:43. > :05:48.family, arrange rental of her luxury villa in a Turkish hotspot ` all in
:05:49. > :05:51.office hours. There were also numerous personal taxi journeys
:05:52. > :05:56.charged to the school and phones and an iPad for Jo Shuter's children
:05:57. > :06:00.paid for too. Some travel expenses were claimed twice. The panel said
:06:01. > :06:07.the allegations did not refer to dishonesty or fraud, but some
:06:08. > :06:10.believe the story may not be over. There is potentially also a police
:06:11. > :06:13.investigation that has yet to be completed by the Met, so
:06:14. > :06:19.unfortunately this may go on a bit longer but not necessarily. I was
:06:20. > :06:23.trying to get through to Jo Shuter. She is currently head at another
:06:24. > :06:25.school in east London and today was not available for comment. If the
:06:26. > :06:29.panel recommends a ban, the Secretary of State Michael Gove will
:06:30. > :06:38.have to decide if she is fit to continue.
:06:39. > :06:42.That is it from me for tonight. The weather forecast now for the Bank
:06:43. > :06:46.Holiday weekend. The weather is set fair, it should
:06:47. > :06:50.be fine and dry. We did see some rain around today, but that it
:06:51. > :06:53.clearing away. Through the night tonight, it will turn pretty chilly.
:06:54. > :06:58.For tomorrow, the forecast will bring with it some sunshine.
:06:59. > :07:02.Temperatures falling away out and about in the countryside. We could
:07:03. > :07:08.get low enough for a touch of frost but in central London temperatures
:07:09. > :07:12.starting at 4`5d. A light wind. Although it is cold, it is going to
:07:13. > :07:16.be a bright start. The north`easterly breeze dragging in
:07:17. > :07:19.more cloud through the afternoon across northern areas, but further
:07:20. > :07:25.south, holding on to the best of any dry, bright weather with
:07:26. > :07:28.temperatures at 14 ` 15 degrees. After the sunshine on Saturday, it
:07:29. > :07:36.should turn cloudy but warmer for the rest of the weekend. Now look at
:07:37. > :07:41.the Outlook with Nick Miller. Neuer-macro don't worry, this is not
:07:42. > :07:45.the repeat. It is live. This is the forecast you are more likely to see
:07:46. > :07:49.in January than May, but this is a cold night for the time of year. We
:07:50. > :07:54.have got some cloud coming into the West, stopping the temperature going
:07:55. > :07:57.down too far. It may produce light rain later in the night, maybe a
:07:58. > :08:03.rogue shower from patchy cloud in East Anglia. For most, dry, clear,
:08:04. > :08:08.temperatures are on the way down and will end up lower than this in the
:08:09. > :08:11.coldest rural spots by morning. -4 in rural Scotland in the coldest
:08:12. > :08:18.moral spots in southern England, so gardeners take note, frost for some
:08:19. > :08:22.of us are begins. What about the rest of the weekend? High pressure
:08:23. > :08:26.is here as it begins. You may think, great, settled weather, it does
:08:27. > :08:30.protect the south and east of the UK but Atlantique weather fronts coming
:08:31. > :08:36.to the north and west, giving some rain at times. First, for tomorrow,
:08:37. > :08:39.it is a fine start. Chilly, a lot of dry weather around from the word go.
:08:40. > :08:40.Quite a bit of
