:00:00. > :00:00.building society. That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye

:00:00. > :00:07.from me, and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.

:00:08. > :00:09.Tonight on BBC London News: The foreign investment flowing into

:00:10. > :00:16.London's growing economy. Creating jobs, but is it fuelling the housing

:00:17. > :00:23.crisis? The rebel for everyone in London is

:00:24. > :00:26.that this creates extra pressure on housing. You are creating extra

:00:27. > :00:28.jobs, but not housing supply to meet them.

:00:29. > :00:31.Also tonight: The police held this teenager with Down's Syndrome for

:00:32. > :00:32.nine hours. His family lodge a complaint.

:00:33. > :00:39.Calls for all migrant care workers to speak good English.

:00:40. > :00:42.And could it be the end of the line for this steam engine? How younger

:00:43. > :00:56.volunteers are needed to keep it running.

:00:57. > :01:00.Good evening and welcome to the programme. We begin tonight with

:01:01. > :01:04.news about London's economy and a record amount of investment in

:01:05. > :01:07.technology companies. London and Partners, the body which promotes

:01:08. > :01:13.the city, says foreign investment is booming, with ?3 billion of funding

:01:14. > :01:16.from Asia announced this year. But whilst the money means new jobs are

:01:17. > :01:19.being created, some economists worry that it's also fuelling London's

:01:20. > :01:31.housing crisis, and hitting manufacturers. Alex Bushill is in

:01:32. > :01:34.south London now. Battersea Power Station behind me

:01:35. > :01:44.sums up what foreign money can do for our city. Malaysia has put Liam

:01:45. > :01:47.is into this area. It will be a thriving district of our city. Today

:01:48. > :01:52.we found out more about how much foreign money is now flowing into

:01:53. > :01:55.the capital. Is this wonderful news? Well, it is not as simple as

:01:56. > :01:59.that. London is the global city of the

:02:00. > :02:04.billions of foreign currency are to be believed. The big winner `` the

:02:05. > :02:08.biggest winner is technology start`ups. Chris has moved his

:02:09. > :02:12.ticketing company from his hometown of Copenhagen to London. We believe

:02:13. > :02:16.London is the most interesting market. We also believe London is a

:02:17. > :02:23.hub for a lot of people in Europe, meaning that we can bring access to

:02:24. > :02:27.interesting people here. In the last financial year, 260 foreign

:02:28. > :02:31.companies have set up shop in London, a 16% increase on last year.

:02:32. > :02:35.The figures include a record number of tech companies, 19 new firms this

:02:36. > :02:41.year. It is thought in all, this will create more than 4400 new jobs

:02:42. > :02:46.in their first year. So is this good news, pure and simple? Not

:02:47. > :02:49.necessarily, as these two economists explained over a cup in the heart of

:02:50. > :02:54.tech city. The problem for everyone in London is that this creates extra

:02:55. > :02:58.pressure on things like housing. You are creating new jobs, but not the

:02:59. > :03:03.housing supply to meet them, which has immediate consequences for the

:03:04. > :03:05.affordability of housing. It is fantastic news when there is

:03:06. > :03:10.investment in the capital. But you have to be conscious that the holy

:03:11. > :03:16.grail for an economy is balanced growth. So capital flows coming into

:03:17. > :03:19.one region do have an impact on the currency, and that has a negative

:03:20. > :03:24.impact on the manufacturing sector, which has to struggle against the

:03:25. > :03:28.strong pound we are enjoying. For London, it means big regeneration

:03:29. > :03:33.project, with Chinese money flowing in as never before. For example,

:03:34. > :03:39.?700 million on one development, and one Liam each regenerating the Royal

:03:40. > :03:44.Albert Hall that the docks. So should we demanding more investment

:03:45. > :03:50.in affordable housing from these investors? Not according to the

:03:51. > :03:54.people whose job it is to bring those investors here in the first

:03:55. > :04:01.play. It is a very competitive market. These investors are looking

:04:02. > :04:04.around the globe. They could go elsewhere to look at investments, so

:04:05. > :04:08.they have to see a return on their investment. So the smart money is

:04:09. > :04:12.heading our way. The question is for how long, and how can we make sure

:04:13. > :04:18.it stays? Instead of globalisation, it makes

:04:19. > :04:23.us rich, but it also makes us more vulnerable. The billions flowing in

:04:24. > :04:25.will certainly promised new jobs, companies and buildings. The

:04:26. > :04:30.question is, how much more vulnerable will be big to money that

:04:31. > :04:37.flows in, flowing out again? Lots more to come, including:

:04:38. > :04:41.tickets to this year's Chelsea Flower Show should cost no more than

:04:42. > :04:47.?68, but I will be finding out just how much they are really selling

:04:48. > :04:50.for. The mother of a teenager with Down's

:04:51. > :04:53.Syndrome is lodging a formal complaint against the Met after her

:04:54. > :04:59.son was held for nine hours, accused of burglary. She says 19`year`old

:05:00. > :05:02.Abdul Al`Faisal climbed through a window at his school in Tottenham

:05:03. > :05:04.because he wanted to get his baseball cap, and claims officers

:05:05. > :05:10.were "heavy`handed" in their response. But police insist they

:05:11. > :05:20.treated Abdul appropriately as a "vulnerable adult". Here's Sonja

:05:21. > :05:25.Jessup. Abdul Al`Faisal says his arms are

:05:26. > :05:32.still hurting after being handcuffed by police. It is ridiculous. He has

:05:33. > :05:41.down syndrome, and yet you handcuffed him and bruised his arms.

:05:42. > :05:44.It is ridiculous. You can see that he has down syndrome. His family

:05:45. > :05:48.said Abdul had only wanted to get his baseball cap back. He had left

:05:49. > :05:52.it at school, and even though it was closed over the bank holiday, he

:05:53. > :05:55.decided he would go there to retrieve it. It is thought Abdullah

:05:56. > :05:59.tome on his own and walked three miles here to Haringey sixth form

:06:00. > :06:03.centre, where he is eschewed in. He climbed through an open window and

:06:04. > :06:07.set off an alarm. He `` police found him inside and arrested him. Police

:06:08. > :06:11.say he was found with not only the baseball cap, but other items that

:06:12. > :06:14.did not belong to him. They said they recognised him straightaway as

:06:15. > :06:19.a vulnerable adult, and treated him appropriately. The officers would

:06:20. > :06:24.not have handcuffed him if it was not sorry. And let's not make the

:06:25. > :06:27.present that because he is suffering from Down syndrome, he is not a

:06:28. > :06:31.physically able man who could not have escaped from police custody.

:06:32. > :06:34.His family, unaware that Abdul was being held in custody, ported him

:06:35. > :06:38.missing. Police say they quickly brought his mother along to the

:06:39. > :06:43.station along with other adults trained in how to support people

:06:44. > :06:46.with special needs, but Abdul's mother says it was nine hours before

:06:47. > :06:51.he was released. Something needs to be done about the police arresting

:06:52. > :06:54.people with learning difficulties. I think the laws need to be changed.

:06:55. > :07:01.And they need to be trained properly in how to handle people with

:07:02. > :07:04.learning difficulty. Abdul says he is now looking forward to going back

:07:05. > :07:10.to school, but the police caution he was given will stay on his record.

:07:11. > :07:13.The care industry needs to make sure that their workers have a basic

:07:14. > :07:16.grasp of English before they're allowed to work with vulnerable

:07:17. > :07:19.people in their homes. That's according to a report for the

:07:20. > :07:23.Department of Health which says that poor language skills could lead to

:07:24. > :07:28.the bad care and abuse of patients and racial abuse towards carers.

:07:29. > :07:31.Half of all care workers in the capital don't have English as their

:07:32. > :07:42.first language, as Tarah Welsh reports.

:07:43. > :07:46.Allowing a stranger into your home can leave many people feeling

:07:47. > :07:50.vulnerable. Carers are often as to carry out basic tasks such as

:07:51. > :07:53.cooking, cleaning and bathing. So being able to understand each other

:07:54. > :07:58.is crucial. Many workers from outside the European Union already

:07:59. > :08:02.have to prove they can speak basic English. Now this government adviser

:08:03. > :08:09.says it is time for care agencies to ensure their employees on within the

:08:10. > :08:12.EU do the same. It is the core of the care work, communication and

:08:13. > :08:15.interpersonal relationships. If you don't have the necessary skills to

:08:16. > :08:20.build that on, that may cause further problems and

:08:21. > :08:27.misunderstandings and a stressful situation. The care industry relies

:08:28. > :08:31.heavily on foreign workers . At least 50% of carers in London are

:08:32. > :08:38.migrants. 36% of those are from the EU. These Hungarian women used to

:08:39. > :08:42.work as carers. Even though they both speak good English, they still

:08:43. > :08:51.had problems. I did not know the word gravy, that you put into

:08:52. > :08:55.consumers. Care agencies accept that good communication skills are

:08:56. > :09:01.essential, but said paying for more training could be difficult. Social

:09:02. > :09:06.care is dramatically underfunded in the UK. We need to make sure local

:09:07. > :09:14.authorities are funding care police. One of the biggest risks is

:09:15. > :09:16.that training suffers if caring is underfunded. The government says

:09:17. > :09:21.communication skills would be required to get the new care

:09:22. > :09:25.certificate. As the population ages, even more carers will need to have

:09:26. > :09:28.the right skills. Three men have been jailed for life

:09:29. > :09:32.for the murder of a teenager in Poplar. 16`year`old Ajmol Alom was

:09:33. > :09:36.days away from receiving his GCSE results when he was the victim of an

:09:37. > :09:40.unprovoked attack near his home. Aminur Nadir Khan and Ali Akbar

:09:41. > :09:42.Choudary, who are both 20, and 22`year`old Mashudur Rahman were

:09:43. > :09:52.told today they will serve a minimum of 23 years in prison.

:09:53. > :09:55.The executive headteacher of a primary academy in Stockwell was

:09:56. > :10:01.paid a salary of more than ?200,000 last year after being given a pay

:10:02. > :10:04.rise. Sir Greg Martin, who's the executive head of Durand Academy,

:10:05. > :10:09.saw his salary increase by around 56% in 2013. A Durand Academy

:10:10. > :10:16.spokesman said that Sir Martin also oversees the early years, junior and

:10:17. > :10:20.middle schools. A woman who killed her husband as

:10:21. > :10:24.part of a botched suicide pact has been spared jail. Ann Pollen from

:10:25. > :10:27.Edmonton, on the right, who was described by the judge as "highly

:10:28. > :10:33.vulnerable", went along with her husband's plan to kill each other

:10:34. > :10:39.after he was accused of child abuse. The 47`year`old was given an 18

:10:40. > :10:43.month suspended sentence. Next: is it the Titchmarsh effect?

:10:44. > :10:50.Tickets for this year's Chelsea Flower Show are being sold on the

:10:51. > :10:53.web for many times their face value. And some say it's because the famous

:10:54. > :11:00.TV gardener is showing there again for the first time in years, as

:11:01. > :11:07.Helen Drew reports. It is a beautiful day out and

:11:08. > :11:11.officially cost between ?23 and ?68. But with tickets to the Chelsea

:11:12. > :11:15.Flower Show sold`out, an online site is selling some for up to 575

:11:16. > :11:20.pounds. How much would you pay? I can't imagine paying that much to go

:11:21. > :11:25.to the Chelsea Flower Show if I'm honest. I am surprised people even

:11:26. > :11:29.pay that much to see music event. I have got friends that worked on it,

:11:30. > :11:33.and they say it is a lovely outing. But that is a fair amount of money.

:11:34. > :11:38.Tickets to this year's show sold out in the second fastest time ever.

:11:39. > :11:45.Apparently, that is because of Alan Titchmarsh. He will have his first

:11:46. > :11:48.garden here since 1985. One of the sites reselling tickets is via

:11:49. > :11:50.go`go. There will always be a small percentage of evil that want to

:11:51. > :11:55.resell that gives after they have got them on the box office. It might

:11:56. > :11:58.be because their plans have changed. And no doubt there are couple who

:11:59. > :12:01.want to sell them for a profit. But if you have not got a ticket from

:12:02. > :12:07.the box office, you will be grateful to buy them in this market. The

:12:08. > :12:11.website guarantees all tickets sold through its site. The organisers of

:12:12. > :12:16.the flower show say that with some sites, there can be risks with

:12:17. > :12:19.buying tickets. With all these tickets that are being resold, you

:12:20. > :12:23.should try and avoid them, because there is no guarantee that they will

:12:24. > :12:26.get you into the show. I could be fraudulent. Our terms and conditions

:12:27. > :12:31.say that any resale of tickets will make them null and void. There are

:12:32. > :12:36.official ticket still for sale a charity for ?400, with profits going

:12:37. > :12:39.to horticulture apprenticeships. The value of gardening is something

:12:40. > :12:44.ex`soldier Chris Parrott knows well. After two tours in Afghanistan and

:12:45. > :12:51.two injuries, he retrained in horticulture. Before this, I was in

:12:52. > :12:55.no man's land. I felt lost in a way. To be honest, if I had not found

:12:56. > :12:58.gardening, I would working in the shop. Regardless of the price of

:12:59. > :13:07.your ticket this year's show opens on the 20th of May.

:13:08. > :13:10.Still to come: she colours her hair. From Kilburn to the West End and

:13:11. > :13:17.Broadway ` how the Tricycle Theatre goes from strength to strength.

:13:18. > :13:27.And why new blood's needed to keep this steam train running. In the

:13:28. > :13:34.last local elections, Havering became the first borough in London

:13:35. > :13:40.to gain a UKIP councillor. Since then, three Conservative candidates

:13:41. > :13:45.have defected. Meanwhile, in nearby Barking Dagenham, Labour have seen

:13:46. > :13:48.several defections, some to UKIP. As part of our series looking at the

:13:49. > :13:49.battle grounds for the local elections across London, our

:13:50. > :13:53.Political Correspondent, Karl Mercer, has been to east London to

:13:54. > :13:58.find out how much of a threat UKIP is to the main parties.

:13:59. > :14:04.Campaigning can be a tricky old business. Can we count on your

:14:05. > :14:11.support locally? What about me and Leslie? Maybe not. Others can be

:14:12. > :14:16.more coy. Are you considering UKIP this time? I will have to think

:14:17. > :14:20.about it. Which means the people of he bring will have to put up with

:14:21. > :14:25.this for the next two weeks. Can I give you one of these? This is a are

:14:26. > :14:28.that has seen a lot of lives could change in recent times. The

:14:29. > :14:31.Conservatives used to have an overall majority in he bring, but

:14:32. > :14:36.recent months, there have been 60 for action to the United Kingdom

:14:37. > :14:40.Independence Party. It means campaigning now is harder than it

:14:41. > :14:46.has ever been, which might explain why in heaven, you will see lots of

:14:47. > :14:50.these post is, unlike in many places around London. But take a trip to

:14:51. > :14:54.hundred yards down the road, and you find this. There is no doubt about

:14:55. > :14:57.the way this person wants you to vote. This is the home of a former

:14:58. > :15:02.Tory councillor who has defected to UKIP. This man was their first

:15:03. > :15:07.counsellor ever elected in the capital last March. He now leads a

:15:08. > :15:11.seven strong group in he bring. This is an area where we have always done

:15:12. > :15:16.well. We have been working this patch for a long time. The working

:15:17. > :15:21.class who live here have been abandoned. Local Tories questioned

:15:22. > :15:24.whether UKIP has a strong enough record in local government. UKIP

:15:25. > :15:30.cannot affect local councils. They don't have any policies. They would

:15:31. > :15:34.not know what a black dustbin bag election was or what a social

:15:35. > :15:40.service budget was. Unusually for London, he bring also has a strong

:15:41. > :15:43.residents' group of councillors, offering an alternative to party

:15:44. > :15:47.politics. I don't think it is a protest vote at all. I think the

:15:48. > :15:52.residents' association stands for local people for local issues. We

:15:53. > :15:56.very much have our emphasis on delivering what residents want. He

:15:57. > :16:00.bring's Tories are not alone in suffering defections to UKIP. In

:16:01. > :16:04.Barking and back in, four Labour councillors have crossed the floor.

:16:05. > :16:08.The Labour Party locally is now campaigning for a referendum on

:16:09. > :16:12.membership of the European Union. That is not yet national party

:16:13. > :16:16.policy, but do not, they say, a response to UKIP. It is driven by

:16:17. > :16:23.our own personal beliefs. I am a member of Labour for a referendum. A

:16:24. > :16:28.lot of people are. I happen to be a Eurosceptic. Local councils cannot

:16:29. > :16:32.change European policy, but it is possible that the politics of Europe

:16:33. > :16:37.could change local councils, come May the 22nd.

:16:38. > :16:40.And there's a full list of candidates standing in Havering and

:16:41. > :16:42.Barking and Dagenham on the councils' websites. And we'll be

:16:43. > :16:51.looking at other boroughs across London during the rest of the

:16:52. > :16:54.campaign. London is to host the first ever

:16:55. > :17:01.world wheelchair rugby challenge. The sport known as murder ball

:17:02. > :17:07.attracted sell`out clouds during the 2012 Paralympic Games. It will be

:17:08. > :17:13.held at the Copper Box Arena. It will be held alongside the Rugby

:17:14. > :17:16.World Cup. And England have announced the swimming squad for the

:17:17. > :17:19.Commonwealth games in Glasgow this summer. One of the 39 strong team is

:17:20. > :17:26.Andrew Willis from Frimley in Surrey. At the 2012 Olympics, he

:17:27. > :17:32.finished in eighth place in the men's 200 metres breaststroke. He is

:17:33. > :17:38.hoping for big things this July. I am overwhelmed. I want to swim my

:17:39. > :17:44.best, and I have got to get on that podium. I am really excited now. I

:17:45. > :17:48.want to get through my training and put myself in the place I need to be

:17:49. > :17:51.before the race. Next to the tiny theatre making a

:17:52. > :17:54.big impact. The Tricycle Theatre in north London is having an

:17:55. > :17:59.astonishing run of success, not just in Kilburn but also in the West End

:18:00. > :18:01.and on Broadway, too. And the success is being credited to the

:18:02. > :18:13.theatre's artistic director, Indhu Rubasingham, who's now being tipped

:18:14. > :18:21.for even greater things. Wendy Hurrell's been to meet her.

:18:22. > :18:26.It is about four miles to this theatre, but lately can almost hear

:18:27. > :18:31.the applause in the West End. Behind the scenes of its success is Indhu

:18:32. > :18:37.Rubasingham, who took the artistic director job less than two years

:18:38. > :18:44.ago, reluctantly at first. I never wanted to run a building, never. And

:18:45. > :18:47.somehow, there comes a point when you have to take responsibility for

:18:48. > :18:54.the industry and what your contribution is. She's ever so

:18:55. > :18:59.small! And what a contribution so far. In one week this spring,

:19:00. > :19:09.handbag, transferred to the West End and took an Olivier award on the

:19:10. > :19:13.way, and Red Velvet won an award. I was opening two shows, one in

:19:14. > :19:16.London and one in the West End. So having compared their to in London

:19:17. > :19:20.to that of New York, Indhu Rubasingham have decided that arts

:19:21. > :19:24.Council funding mix huge difference to small theatres like the Tricycle

:19:25. > :19:28.Theatre. That genuine need to tell stories to

:19:29. > :19:33.people, to break boundaries, can't be taken in the same way. That is

:19:34. > :19:40.why we are top of the game in new writing.

:19:41. > :19:46.As to critics in the know, Indhu is top of her game. They are tipping

:19:47. > :19:51.her for the top theatre job. She is far and away the most talented and

:19:52. > :19:57.exciting director working in theatre land. I would love her to be

:19:58. > :20:02.national theatre director. I think it is about taking risk and

:20:03. > :20:06.telling good stories, and it is about really believing in what we

:20:07. > :20:13.are doing. I think that is the secret. That is what I believe it

:20:14. > :20:16.is. Watch me fall on my face! The Battersea`based steam engine the

:20:17. > :20:20.Clan Line has been running since the 1940s, but there's concern about how

:20:21. > :20:23.long she can continue. Although still in perfect condition, most of

:20:24. > :20:28.the volunteers who keep the engine running are as old as she is. And

:20:29. > :20:35.without young people getting involved, her future is in jeopardy.

:20:36. > :20:41.Gareth Furby reports. We are on board a steam train built

:20:42. > :20:46.in the 1940s, but it is still in perfect condition, and heading out

:20:47. > :20:50.of Victoria on the mainline. And on the footplate, making sure

:20:51. > :20:57.everything's done by the book is Colin curs will, who is 78 and used

:20:58. > :21:04.to drive steam trains through London in the 1950s and 1960s. For him,

:21:05. > :21:14.it's an emotional experience to be on the same route.

:21:15. > :21:19.The emotions of being on the steam again I just incredible. A lump in

:21:20. > :21:23.the throat, and sometimes I shed a tear.

:21:24. > :21:28.But the problem is, the people who maintain this engine are also

:21:29. > :21:33.getting on a bit. I'm 61. 68. 65 at the end of the month.

:21:34. > :21:36.The few under pensionable age who have volunteered to come to the

:21:37. > :21:44.Battersea shed have done so because of a childhood memory. First steam

:21:45. > :21:49.engine, probably about two. It is a sensory overload when you are on

:21:50. > :21:53.it. You can feel the power. But with only a handful now taking

:21:54. > :22:00.to the mainline, it is a rare sight, and isn't cap in the imagination of

:22:01. > :22:08.many young mind will `` many young minds. Without Youngblood, this

:22:09. > :22:16.engine might have to come off the rails. Anthony Clare, who paid ?2200

:22:17. > :22:20.to save her from the scrap yard back in 1967, doesn't want this to

:22:21. > :22:26.happen. This particular locomotive represents almost the penultimate

:22:27. > :22:31.achievement of the steam locomotion, so it would be a sad event if it

:22:32. > :22:34.could never run any longer. Tom, 24 and from Bexley Heath, has no doubt

:22:35. > :22:41.this is a good way to spend the weekend. It is sweaty, hot,

:22:42. > :22:47.satisfying. But will there eventually be enough

:22:48. > :22:49.young volunteers who agree with the organisers that this is a good way

:22:50. > :23:03.to let off steam? Now, before the weather round`up, we

:23:04. > :23:06.have time to tell you about a firefighter who delivered a baby. A

:23:07. > :23:09.firefighter called to a blaze in north London early this morning

:23:10. > :23:12.delivered a baby at the scene. Mother and baby Antoni are said to

:23:13. > :23:15.be recovering in hospital after the family got stuck in traffic near the

:23:16. > :23:19.fire in Ponders End. Firefighter Ross McLaren, who delivered the

:23:20. > :23:25.child in the back of the car, said it was one of the highlights of his

:23:26. > :23:33.career. Lucky he was there! Now the weather. Here's Peter Gibbs.

:23:34. > :23:41.It is looking unsettled, and a little wet at times. We have had a

:23:42. > :23:45.few showers today, difficult to dodge them, and tomorrow it will be

:23:46. > :23:49.even more difficult. On the satellite picture, we can see the

:23:50. > :23:53.tell`tale speckled look at the map. That tells us these have been shower

:23:54. > :23:57.clouds running in from the West, but they are just beginning to fade to

:23:58. > :24:04.some extent. Over the next couple of hours, we should see the last of the

:24:05. > :24:06.showers beginning to move away. A little dry overnight, lots of

:24:07. > :24:11.cloud, but look at the rain started to come back in for the rest of the

:24:12. > :24:20.night. Certainly no problems for gardeners in terms of low

:24:21. > :24:24.temperatures, 8`11 Celsius. The wet weather will tend to clear, and then

:24:25. > :24:29.it gets drier, but further showers coming in this afternoon. Never

:24:30. > :24:34.reliably dry, but we are still talking about temperatures getting

:24:35. > :24:41.up into the mid`teens. Probably not feeling quite as good as those

:24:42. > :24:44.figures might suggest. Friday, a more straightforward mix of sunshine

:24:45. > :24:50.and showers, but if you catch one of those showers, you will certainly

:24:51. > :24:58.know about it. Brisk winds, and some sunshine in between, so overall not

:24:59. > :25:03.a bad day. But then looking ahead towards the weekend, it is not

:25:04. > :25:06.looking too brilliant. A little rain on Saturday, more sunshine and

:25:07. > :25:08.showers on Sunday, so at least a little dry weather from time to

:25:09. > :25:16.time, but witty unsettled. Thank you, Peter. The main

:25:17. > :25:19.headlines: The Prime Minister, David Cameron, has described the kidnap of

:25:20. > :25:24.more than 200 girls in Nigeria as "a pure act of evil". The girls were

:25:25. > :25:28.taken from their schools three weeks ago by Boko Haram.

:25:29. > :25:31.The former chairman of the Co`operative Bank, Paul Flowers, has

:25:32. > :25:36.been fined after admitting possessing Class A drugs.

:25:37. > :25:38.The violent robber nicknamed Skull Cracker has been arrested after

:25:39. > :25:42.disappearing while on temporary leave from an open prison in Kent.

:25:43. > :25:45.Police say Michael Wheatley is also being investigated in connection

:25:46. > :25:51.with an armed robbery in Sunbury on Thames this morning.

:25:52. > :25:55.That's it. We will be back later during the Ten O'Clock news, but for

:25:56. > :26:22.now, from everyone on the team, have a lovely evening. Goodbye.

:26:23. > :26:27.'This is the story of Nick Clegg - a man entrusted by a nation

:26:28. > :26:30.'to act upon the policies he proposed.
