:00:00. > :00:00.ceasefires and get a first look at tomorrow's papers on the News
:00:00. > :00:00.Channel. That's all from us. Stay on BBC One, it's time for the news
:00:00. > :00:17.where you are. Good night. Good evening.
:00:18. > :00:22.Welcome to the programme. A Conservative candidate for Essex has
:00:23. > :00:26.stood down in a row over anti`Islamic and homophobic Tweets.
:00:27. > :00:28.David Bishop was standing for the South Brentwood seat in the local
:00:29. > :00:34.council elections but has resigned from the Tory party, saying it's to
:00:35. > :00:39.avoid any further embarrassment. Banners in the town centre spelling
:00:40. > :00:42.out what makes Brentwood proud. Comments posted by the Conservative
:00:43. > :00:46.candidate for Brentedwood South in the local election were, he said
:00:47. > :00:53.himself, nothing to be proud about. On his twaiter site, David Bishop
:00:54. > :01:01.posted "Islam was the religion of rape and peace". Other re`Tweets
:01:02. > :01:05.were homophobic and he's resigned. He apologised for the real offence
:01:06. > :01:10.he caused. He said he let himself and his party down. He said he hoped
:01:11. > :01:13.the people of South Brentwood would forgive him for his lack of
:01:14. > :01:17.judgment. As for the local party here, they have said they acted
:01:18. > :01:21.swiftly and conclusively. The resignation comes only weeks
:01:22. > :01:25.after David Bishop was selected as the Conservative continue date for
:01:26. > :01:29.the Brentwood south ward. Those I spoke to in the town centre felt
:01:30. > :01:33.standing down was the right thing to do. I think you represent people if
:01:34. > :01:38.you are being, you know, prejudice to a group of people in that
:01:39. > :01:43.community, is wrong. Even a joke, if it's in the public domain, you need
:01:44. > :01:46.to take the consequences. The resignation means there won't be a
:01:47. > :01:50.Conservative standing in the local elections for Brentwood south later
:01:51. > :01:56.this month. Labour, the Liberal Democrats and UKIP will contest the
:01:57. > :01:59.ward. Last`minute talks to avert a further
:02:00. > :02:03.three days of strike action on the Tube will be held at ACAS tomorrow.
:02:04. > :02:08.Members of the RMT Union are set to walk out for 72 hours from 9 o'clock
:02:09. > :02:11.tomorrow night over plans to close ticket offices. Both London
:02:12. > :02:16.Underground and union bosses confirm they'll be attending the meets after
:02:17. > :02:19.talks broke down on Friday `` the meeting. Alongside the local
:02:20. > :02:23.elections this month, voters will be asked to decide which party they
:02:24. > :02:27.think breast represents their views in Europe. London's MEPs are
:02:28. > :02:29.divided, even as to whether the capital would benefit more from
:02:30. > :02:38.being in or out of the EU. How would the capital fare free of
:02:39. > :02:42.decisions made in Brussels? Labour say London would soon lose its
:02:43. > :02:46.preeminence as a financial centre if outside the EU.
:02:47. > :02:51.The City of London wants to stay in TU. They recognise the huge benefits
:02:52. > :02:58.they get from being part of the single market and the CBI's carried
:02:59. > :03:01.out surveys which show the overwhelming majority, 809% of their
:03:02. > :03:05.companies, want to stay in the EU. The Conservatives say people will
:03:06. > :03:10.only be convinced of the benefits to the capital with reform. The big
:03:11. > :03:13.organisations with the many lobbyists and public affairs people
:03:14. > :03:18.who go to Brussels every week. Of course they are in favour of it. But
:03:19. > :03:24.I speak to small companies and bond traders who're really worried. What
:03:25. > :03:29.most people want, is not in`out now, they want the chance to reform
:03:30. > :03:33.Europe. Of the current eight MEPs, three are Conservative, two Labour,
:03:34. > :03:36.while the Liberal Democrats, the Greens and UKIP have won each.
:03:37. > :03:40.UKIP's performance in the capital in the British Airwayses has lagged
:03:41. > :03:45.behind its showing elsewhere. I think London would lose a lot of the
:03:46. > :03:49.vibrancy and the diversity. It would lose a lot of the legislation which
:03:50. > :03:52.actually makes it something of a pleasant place to live, whether
:03:53. > :03:56.that's air quality, water quality whatever. If we were wanting to
:03:57. > :03:59.continue to trade with Europe which we do, we would have to accept all
:04:00. > :04:05.the rules and regulations, we'd have to be like Norway, but having no say
:04:06. > :04:09.in how the rules are made, I don't think that's a role that's fit for
:04:10. > :04:14.Britain. This idea that we can't exist outside of the EU is nonsense.
:04:15. > :04:20.London's existed for 2,000 years and we have only been in the EU for the
:04:21. > :04:26.last 40. London's been considered less Euro`Sceptic than the rest of
:04:27. > :04:30.the country, but it will soon decide whether issues like migration are
:04:31. > :04:36.causing more concern. Let us get a check on tomorrow's weather now.
:04:37. > :04:39.It's been a beautiful Bank Holiday weekend so far. More of the same for
:04:40. > :04:43.tomorrow, another lovely day in prospect. A cool start tomorrow
:04:44. > :04:49.morning. Quite a lot of sunshine around though. High cloud and by the
:04:50. > :04:54.end of the afternoon high cloud filtering towards us.
:04:55. > :05:07.Turning more unsettled through the week. Bye.
:05:08. > :05:13.Good evening. Bank Holiday Monday promises the highest temperatures of
:05:14. > :05:17.this long weekend, particularly so across the eastern half of the UK.
:05:18. > :05:22.We'll have some hazy sunshine too. In the west, it won't be quite so
:05:23. > :05:26.warm. Here, there'll be more cloud. We'll see outbreaks of rain too.
:05:27. > :05:30.Rain around tonight, chiefly across northern and western parts of
:05:31. > :05:33.Scotland. A bit here and there for Northern Ireland. It is a dry night
:05:34. > :05:40.with clear skies again in the south. Not as cold as recent night nights.
:05:41. > :05:46.Not far from freezing in parts of the south in rural areas. Southerly
:05:47. > :05:49.winds bringing cooler air. Temperatures rising in the hazy
:05:50. > :05:53.sunshine in the east. In the west however, the cloud thickens, the
:05:54. > :05:56.wind strengthens and outbreaks of rain move across Northern Ireland
:05:57. > :06:01.and trickle into western parts of Scotland. Ahead of the rain with
:06:02. > :06:02.southerly winds, the Moray Firth could see
