eye on development is over the next couple of days. That's all from me, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
on BBC One we join the news teams where you are. | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
London is growing by 100,000 people per year. The housing supply is not | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
matching that all Tonight on BBC London News. Demand | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
outstripping supply ` the number of new homes funded by the Mayor falls | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
to its lowest level in more than six years. But City Hall says it is | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
still on track to build more homes in the future. Also tonight... Why | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
the Met's head of armed policing is warning officers may refuse to carry | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
guns for fear of being "criminalised". There is no better | :00:42. | :00:49. | |
instrument in remembering those who have died in war. Floral tributes to | :00:50. | :01:01. | |
victims of war. We're at the Chelsea Flower Show as it marks the | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
centenary of the First World War. Good evening. The number of homes | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
being built in the capital which are funded by the Mayor has fallen to | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
its lowest level since Boris Johnson took office at City Hall six years | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
ago. That's according to figures released by the Greater London | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
Authority. It comes on the day a report by estate agents Savills says | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
the rate of population growth in the capital has outstripped the rate of | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
new homes by about 75%. Meanwhile, property prices in London are | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
surging ahead ` putting a home out of reach of more and more first`time | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
buyers. This report from our political correspondent, Karl | :01:39. | :01:39. | |
Mercer. Homes are being built across | :01:40. | :01:53. | |
London, as the economy begins to improve. The problem, though, is | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
that this sort of site is not man enough. This development in north | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
Kensington will see around 120 homes go up by next year, most of them | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
affordable. But the truth is, London is a long way behind building the | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
number of homes it needs to. The Mayor's Office says that's just to | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
keep pace with demand, London needs to build 42,000 homes a year. But | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
last year the capital added just over half of that to its housing | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
stock, just over 21,000 new properties, the lowest level in the | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
last nine years. The number of homes funded by City Hall is also falling. | :02:29. | :02:37. | |
It was more than 19,020 11. Last year, it was less than 9000. This | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
graph shows the problem faced by the capital. Population has risen by 14% | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
since 2002. The number of jobs has gone up by 15%, but the number of | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
new homes has only gone up by 9%. One problem we are all seeing is | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
that supplies just not there, it is falling short of the demand in | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
London. London is growing by 100,000 people a year, and the housing | :03:09. | :03:17. | |
supply is not matching that. At the moment, there are 216,000 homes in | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
the so`called planning pipeline in London. Of those, 93,000 have | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
actually started work, like here in north Kensington. But one to 3000 | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
have not even started work on site. Something is and mentally wrong and | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
as always, it is about politicians being brave enough to confront the | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
blockages. People do not want housing built next door. We are | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
suggesting building new suburbs in London. The people who live around | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
those new suburbs will all object. That has long been a problem for | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
politicians and developers alike. Business leaders want a short list | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
of public land which can be used for homes torn up. Without it, they say, | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
the city will falter. What is the response of City Hall? You will | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
remember that the Mayor has often said that over his two terms as | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
mayor, he will build 100,000 affordable homes. City Hall say they | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
are on track to do that by 2016. Looking at the wider picture, the | :04:21. | :04:29. | |
Mayor has set this ambitious target of 42,000 homes per year. At the | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
moment it is about half of that being built. We require construction | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
the like of which we have not seen since the Second World War. The | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
Mayor's Housing strategy talks about things like housing zones or a | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
London Housing bank, both of which are aimed at developers and trying | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
to get them to kick`start land which they already own. The trouble for | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
politicians when they set targets is, at the end of the day, people | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
like us will judge them. So we will come back in a couple of years. | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
Coming up later in the programme... The visual arts and the spoken word | :05:08. | :05:18. | |
` we meet some of Lewisham's older residents who are learning new | :05:19. | :05:19. | |
creative skills. Police have launched a murder | :05:20. | :05:30. | |
inquiry after a man's body discovered following a fire at his | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
flat in north London was found to have suffered stab wounds. It's | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
believed 49`year`old Antonio Tommaso had been dead for two to three days | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
prior to the property being sent alight. Alice Bhandhukravi reports | :05:40. | :05:48. | |
from New Barnet. Antonio has been described as a friendly and | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
articulate man who lived and died in a flat on a quiet residential street | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
in New Barnet. The charred Windows giveaway part of the story of what | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
happened to him. I have just been allowed up to the third story. His | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
bedsit was completely blackened inside, badly damaged by fire. That | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
is where firefighters found Tony's body late on Thursday evening. Tony | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
had been unemployed for several years after an injury, and he led | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
what police have described as a simple life. He rode this mountain | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
bike and had time to chat to people in the area. He was last seen alive | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
on Tuesday. A postmortem examination has revealed that he died after | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
being stabbed several times. Detectives believe his attacker left | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
his body in his flat for a few days, returning last Thursday to set fire | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
to the place, leaving a significant clue. We believe that they returned | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
with an old`fashioned word petrol can. So, did anyone see someone | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
walking around on Thursday evening, when the fire was set, carrying a | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
red, old`fashioned petrol can? Did you see somebody fill up such | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
account at a petrol station? For people nearby, it has been a shock | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
to be from what we were told originally, the place had been set | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
on fire, and then we found out someone had died from it, and now we | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
have found out someone was murdered. Detectives believe the attacker | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
could have been an acquaintance of Tony's and may have been burnt | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
whilst setting the flat on fire. They want anyone with any | :07:25. | :07:25. | |
information to come forward. A man accused of sending menacing | :07:26. | :07:38. | |
Twitter messages to a London MP went on trial today. A court heard that | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
33`year`old Peter Nunn retweeted rape threats made to Walthamstow MP | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
Stella Creasy and described her as a "witch". The alleged abuse started | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
after Ms Creasy supported the campaign to get more women featured | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
on bank notes. Mr Nunn says he sent the messages to "further debate" and | :07:51. | :07:51. | |
denies the charge against him. Rail and Tube workers are to hold | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
strikes over the Bank Holiday weekend in separate disputes. | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
Members of the RMT Union on the Heathrow Express ` will walk out for | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
24 hours on Friday and again on Bank Holiday Monday. Meanwhile, power | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
control staff on London Underground, who are members of the Unite union, | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
will strike for three days from Saturday. Heathrow Express said it | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
expected to run a normal service, while Transport for London said it | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
didn't expect an impact on its services. | :08:17. | :08:27. | |
The Met's head of armed policing is warning that proposed changes to | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
rules could lead to a drop in the number of firearms officers. The | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
police watchdog wants to stop officers talking to each other in | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
the aftermath of a potential fatal incident. But there have been | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
warnings that this could lead to police feeling criminalised. Guy | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
Smith reports. He is a volunteer, as are more than 2000 firearms officers | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
in the Met. But now there are fears that a substantial number may put | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
down their weapons. The IPCC is proposing changes to how officers | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
provide evidence after a death or serious injury. The police watchdog | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
is now bearing its teeth. It plans to make it a legal requirement for | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
Scotland Yard officers to be separated after a serious incident | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
so that they can write up their witness statements independently. | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
The IPCC says this will protect them from accusations of a cover`up. But | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
the commander who heads armed policing in the Met says... | :09:36. | :09:57. | |
That is something Irene Stanley disagrees with. Her husband Harry | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
was shot dead in 1999 in Hackney. Armed police mistook a table leg he | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
was carrying for a shot gun. She believes the guidance to officers | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
should have changed years ago. They should not be allowed to sit | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
together. To me, it is unfair. Because they could be copying each | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
other's notes. In an ideal world, we would not carry guns, but the | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
reality is, if police are using the dropping of arms to protect their | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
own personal interest, inasmuch as they want one law for themselves and | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
one for us, that is not a good roads to be going down. The Met says it is | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
constructively consulting with the police watchdog. The Home Office | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
will ultimately decide. The London Ambulance Service has | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
urged people enjoying the fine weather to take extra care after it | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
had its third ever busiest weekend for emergency calls. As the hot | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
weather continued today, the service said Londoners should take care in | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
the sun, and only dial 999 in an emergency. | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
Now ` we're just days away from the local and European elections, and an | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
area which could see a dramatic change in leadership is the | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
relatively small area of Three Rivers in Hertfordshire. The | :11:16. | :11:24. | |
district council has been led by the Liberal Democrats for decades, but | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
could that change this week? Tarah Welsh has been speaking to voters | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
there about the issues important to them. It is the season of and | :11:31. | :11:43. | |
change. And that could happen at the Town Hall. It all depends on | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
Thursday's vote. We have had to basically privately educate our | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
eldest because she did not get in locally. The main problem for us is, | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
locally, the primary schools are very hard to get into. The services | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
are pretty good, there are lots of park facilities. Predicting which | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
colour will be in power come Friday is more difficult this year. New | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
boundaries mean every seat is up for grabs, but there are nine fewer. The | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
Liberal Democrats have managed to hold onto control since the 90s, but | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
that could change. If they lose four seats then they could lose control | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
of the council. They have got quite a strong presence in the area, but | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
with the redrawing of the boundaries, it could mean the next | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
largest party, the Tories, could make a grab for power. Currently, | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
Labour has six seats, and there is one independent. It could be a | :12:40. | :12:47. | |
wasted vote, you just do not know. But they are going to make their | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
voice heard, hopefully. Will you vote UKIP? I think so, yes. | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
According to polls nationally, the Lib Dems have lost about half of | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
their vote shares since 2010. So can they hold on here? They actually | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
work very hard for us and they do listen to what we ask for. But maybe | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
if the Tories did get in they may do just as well. This is typical leafy | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
commuter belt. A lot of the area is rural, and yet you can get the | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
chewed into central London. The crime rate is low, but the area is | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
not completely without problems. Some people here have been employed | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
for years. I have been going after something in retailing and there are | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
no vacancies. Three Rivers is one of several councils outside London | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
where elections are taking place this Thursday. All seats are up in | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
Slough, with one third of seats being decided in Redding, Southend, | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
Thurrock and Wokingham. Here, the Lib Dems will have to wait | :13:52. | :14:04. | |
whether to find out whether they will win, lose, or have to share | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
power. And in the European elections, also taking place this | :14:09. | :14:10. | |
Thursday, the National Liberal Party has eight candidates standing in | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
London. The party wants to see the capital's ethnic minorities better | :14:14. | :14:22. | |
represented in Europe. The National Liberal Party has eight | :14:23. | :14:30. | |
candidates drawn from Sikh, Kurdish and other communities in London. We | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
are the only party which is representing these communities, | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
which have been ignored, left out of the process. We are raising their | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
burning issues of self`determination and genocide. Still to come this | :14:44. | :14:52. | |
evening... Later, I will be giving you a tour of the royal Chelsea | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
Flower Show. This year's team is marking the centenary of World War | :14:57. | :14:58. | |
I. Over the past three years 20 people | :14:59. | :15:07. | |
have been killed in house fires where hoarding has been a factor. As | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
well as being a potential fire hazard, there's also the increased | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
risk of a hoarder becoming trapped. London Fire Brigade wants to | :15:16. | :15:17. | |
highlight the dangers to those most at threat. Gareth Furby has the | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
story. Richard Wallace lives near Dorking, | :15:21. | :15:31. | |
in Surrey. He shares his home with thousands of newspapers and | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
magazines. Mainly the Mail on Sunday. He's been doing this for | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
almost 40 years. It wasn't so much collecting them, it was retaining | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
them because of the information they contain. He thinks it started | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
because when he was young, newspapers were sometimes thrown | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
away before he could read them. Quite a lot of them are in the roof | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
space. In fact, it's a lot better now than when we last visited four | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
years ago. The only way inside was to crawl. It was about this much | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
from the ceiling. You just about had enough room. Now the Fire Service is | :16:13. | :16:21. | |
targeting hoarder s in its latest campaign, warning that fires start | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
and spread easily in those homes. We can show that 20 people died in | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
fires as a result of hoarding in the last few years. But will they | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
listen? This is Richard Wallace's kitchen, and the Fire Service might | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
view it as a fire hazard. Even his neighbour and counsellor, who has | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
been helping him clear out, is having problems explaining the | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
dangers. My concern is obviously you cook with gas, naked flame. It's not | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
totally naked, it has something on it. Which left set up the side. | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
There is the potential risk of a fire. But I feel I've got that under | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
control. There is the logical Richard and then there is the | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
hoarder Richard. I work on hoping the logical Richard will become | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
stronger than the hoarder side. For this hoarder, progress has been | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
slow. But he is getting there. The Fire Service is also offering home | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
visits to advise how best to cut the risks. | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
It's a theatre group with a difference, the Albany in Deptford | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
is encouraging pensioners to come along and learn new creative skills | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
and be entertained, but perhaps more importantly to meet new people. | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
One day they can be found slightly elevated above the floor suspended | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
on stilts, but today it's a more grounded lesson on balancing for | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
south London pensioners attending a circus skills class. Here at the | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
Albany Arts Centre in Deptford, they've taken a creative approach to | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
elderly daycare. Every Tuesday, those with a spirit of adventure can | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
learn new skills, from creative writing and poetry to photography | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
and painting. It's really interesting, a lot of people do | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
circus workshop for kids. It's a different mindset. I'm working with | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
people that are older than me, they have more life experience. They're | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
impacting on the way that I function when I'm teaching. | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
Almost, so close! This bold approach to daycare the elderly is | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
spearheaded by the Albany And Entelechy Arts. Its ambition is to | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
relieve the isolation felt by many older people, while engaging them in | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
the wider community and encouraging their own creativity. I think people | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
would be surprised themselves about what they could do, trying something | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
new and seeing that they have got a talent or an attitude to do | :18:52. | :18:53. | |
something, writing, poetry or singing. That's been great, | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
actually, seeing the transformation in people. | :18:57. | :18:58. | |
# Caribbean ladies in London, far from the sun and the sea.... Paul's | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
composition from that morning's spoken word workshop. For ?6, Meet | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
Me At The Albany participants can try everything and anything, with | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
support from local artists and performers. I've never felt so happy | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
in my life, since I've been coming here. People are so friendly and the | :19:18. | :19:26. | |
whole atmosphere is wonderful. You'll be at home, thinking about | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
silly things. So it's nice to get here, and get on with what you have | :19:31. | :19:32. | |
to do, you know? It's a really good. The day's hard work was rewarded | :19:33. | :19:42. | |
with an impromptu performance from opera singer Charles Rice, which | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
went down well in this south London hive of activity. | :19:46. | :19:53. | |
Last year the Chelsea Flower Show celebrated its 100th year and this | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
year it's marking another centenary, that of the First World War. | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
Designers have created gardens remembering past and present | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
conflicts. Well today the Queen got a preview, ahead of the show opening | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
to the public tomorrow. We'll be live there shortly. First, this | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
report from Alex Bushell. There are gardens to dazzle and the | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
light, others to please or provoke. Amongst the hubbub and the crowds, | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
there are also those to stop, reflect and remember. Gave once her | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
flowers to love, there are ways to Rome. A body of England, breathing | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
English air. The words are from Rupert Brooke, written in 1940 and | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
as he served on the Western front. Today, Stephen Fry read his poem A | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
Soldier, in a garden to mark the Centenary of the conflict. This | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
garden itself is a symbol of that. The water is a reminder of the | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
crater holes that still exist in France, filled with water. There is | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
no better instrument in memorial icing those that died in war, | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
whether one approves of the war or not is kind of irrelevant. The | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
garden is about growth and restoration. It's the work of London | :21:13. | :21:23. | |
Gardner Charlotte Road. It's based on the Somme, and how it was hit. My | :21:24. | :21:33. | |
grandfather came back, being wounded, and they threw roses at | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
them. These are the wild roses. An unkempt tapestry, carefully | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
contrived in days. As for the residents of this corner of S W | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
three, marking the Centenary and the gardens it has inspired as a | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
particular resonance. It is like as walking around town, they see us in | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
the Scarlet and it keeps us in the public eye. Some of them should not | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
be walking at all, but there you go! He understands the importance of | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
remembrance and the words of those that have fallen. If I should die, | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
think only this, that there is some corner of a foreign field that is | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
forever England. We can go live to Alex Bushell at | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
the Chelsea Flower Show this evening, hopefully. I do apologise, | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
we cannot get to him right now. Let me move on and let you know about | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
Serb run they were. Has confirmed he wants to ride the Tour de France, | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
after winning the Tour of California overnight. The Londoner led for | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
seven of the eight stages. He also said he'd be happy to support his | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
team mate and winner of last year's Tour, Chris Froome. | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
After such a sunny weekend, let's see how this week is shaping up with | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
Wendy. A little bit of a change on the | :22:55. | :23:05. | |
way, but wasn't it lovely? Today, London got to 26 Celsius. That puts | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
it at the same level as Greece. It is warmer than Rome and Barcelona. | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
London was the place to be across Europe if you like it warm. I don't | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
see that we're going to have temperatures quite that high as we | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
go through the rest of the week. There is an increasing chance of | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
seeing some rain. It will not be for everyone, not just yet. I have just | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
been looking at the radar picture and there are one or two mature | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
heavy looking showers crossing the Channel as we speak. As we go | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
through this evening, there is a chance one or two Mac replaces will | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
see some heavy downpours. Actually, they are quite isolated. Most of | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
tonight will be fine. There will be clear skies through the night. If | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
you do see these showers, and they are a distinct possibility as we go | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
through the next couple of days, they will be quite heavy, not least | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
because there is so much warmth still in the air. 13 of 15 are the | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
lowest temperatures as we go through the night. As we go into the | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
morning, some heavy downpours. Not for everybody tomorrow. If you are | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
heading to the Chelsea Flower Show tomorrow, there will be hazy | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
sunshine to enjoy, a bit of a breeze blowing. If you get showers, they | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
will blow through fairly quickly. There is the risk of those showers | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
through tomorrow. Because of that breeze and shower risk, temperatures | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
will not be as high tomorrow. We are looking at between 19 and 21 | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
degrees. Some places will get higher than that. Beyond that, | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
high`pressure waning. Instead, we will have low pressure. For | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
Wednesday, this tangle of fronts coming up. As we go through this | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
week, more chance of seeing some rain, particularly Wednesday | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
afternoon, with some showers to end the week as well. We will just have | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
to dodge around them. An umbrella handy if you are going | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
to the Chelsea Flower Show. Recapping the day's headlines: The | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
British drugs firm AstraZeneca has insisted it can be successful as an | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
independent company, after rejecting a takeover bid from its American | :25:02. | :25:02. | |
rival, Pfizer. The number of new homes being built | :25:03. | :25:15. | |
in the capital which are funded by the Mayor has fallen to its lowest | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
level since he took office six years ago. You can see more on the stories | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
today on the website, and I'll be back with the latest news. Until | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
then, thanks for watching and enjoy your evening. | :25:27. | :25:51. | |
'The last two generations have been robbed of an opportunity | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
