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