That is all the sport, back to you. That is it from us, now on BBC One, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
it is time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Goodbye. Good evening and welcome to the | :00:00. | :00:22. | |
programme. A Conservative candidate for Essex has stood down in a row | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
over homophobic and anti`Islamic tweets. David Bishop was standing | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
for the South Brentwood seat in the local council elections. But he's | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
now resigned from the Tory party, saying it's to "avoid any further | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
embarrassment. " Sarah Harris reports. | :00:37. | :00:45. | |
Banners say what makes Redford proud but comments published by the local | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
candidate are, he said himself, nothing to be proud about. He said | :00:50. | :00:59. | |
that Islam was the religion of peace and rape. Other tweets were | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
homophobic. He has now resigned. In a letter, dated bishop apologised | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
for the offence he had caused. He said he had let himself and the | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
party down. He said he hoped the people of South Brent Woodward | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
forgive him for his lack of judgement. The local party say they | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
have acted swiftly and conclusively and in the interests of the | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
Conservative Party. The rest can `` the resignation comes weeks after | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
David Bishop was selected to represent the Brentwood South Ward. | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
Those I spoke to said it was the right thing to do. How can you | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
represent people of your prejudice towards a group of people in their | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
community. Many things can be misinterpreted and if you make a | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
joke you have to think about how the consequences will be taken by other | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
people. Shows what sort of person he is. Not very caring about other | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
people's feelings. Conservatives say they will not have a Conservative. | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
Labour, the Lib Dems and UKIP will contest the ward. | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
A woman is in a critical condition in hospital after she was hit by an | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
unmarked police car in London. The victim in her 20s was struck by the | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
vehicle at the junction of Kingsland Road and Ridley Road in Hackney last | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
night. The police car was responding to an incident. It's now been | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission. | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
A 13`year`old boy has been charged with the murder of a man who was | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
stabbed during a break`in in south`west London. Martin Thomas, | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
was found at his home in Roehampton, last month. The teenager, who can't | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
be identified, was arrested on Friday evening. | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
Alongside the local elections later this month, voters will be asked to | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
decide which party they think best represents their views in Europe. | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
London's MEP's are divided, even as to whether the capital would benefit | :02:50. | :02:59. | |
more from being in or out of the EU? Our political editor Tim Donovan has | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
more. Howard our capital fair without decisions being made in | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
Brussels. The city of London wants to stay in | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
the EU. They recognise the huge benefits they get from being part of | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
the single market and the CBI has carried out surveys which show that | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
the overwhelming majority, 80% of their companies, want to stay in the | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
EU. But the Conservatives say people will only be convinced if there is | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
reform. Depends who you speak to. You get a range of views. The big | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
organisations with many lobbyists and public affairs people who like | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
going to Brussels every week, of course they are in favour of it. But | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
I speak to small companies who are really worried. What most people | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
want, if you look at the opinion polls, is not in out now, they want | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
the chance to reform Europe. Of London's current eight MEPs, three | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
are conservative, two our labour while the Lib Dems, green and UKIP | :04:06. | :04:15. | |
have one each. I think London would lose a lot of the vibrancy and | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
diversity. It would lose a lot of the legislation which makes it a | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
pleasant place to live such as air quality and water quality. If we | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
wanted to continue to trade with Europe we would have to accept all | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
the rules and regulations. We would have to be like Norway but having no | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
say. I do not think that is fit for Britain. This idea that we cannot | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
exist without Europe is nonsense. London has existed for centuries but | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
we have only been in the EU for 40. London has long been considered more | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
Eurosceptic than the rest of the country. | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
Let's find out what the weather will be like for the bank holiday with | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
Sara Thornton. Good evening. It has been a lovely | :05:04. | :05:17. | |
weekend so far. More on the horizon to come. The sunshine will turn hazy | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
as we go through Monday. High cloud at first, then medium level cloud. | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
We stayed dry. We have some rain to come through. It is not so cold to | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
start. The temperatures may not get as high in the afternoon on Tuesday. | :05:40. | :05:48. | |
As we go through this week, it will be quite breezy with the risk of | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
rain showers. That is it. I will be back just | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
after 10:15pm tonight. Have a lovely evening, goodbye. | :05:58. | :06:08. | |
Good evening. Today we have had the sunniest skies in the South whereas | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
in the north it has been quite cloudy. Tomorrow, we switch things | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
around. In the east we will have warm, | :06:21. | :06:21. |
