Nick Clegg tells his supporters to stand firm, dismissing talk

:00:00.:00:00.

of a leadership challenge, after a senior Lib Dem peer resigns.

:00:00.:00:00.

That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me,

:00:00.:00:00.

and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.

:00:07.:00:09.

the mayor launches a new voluntary agreement for landlords and tenants,

:00:10.:00:13.

but will it really help the capital's hard pressed tenants?

:00:14.:00:24.

With the accreditation, there is a set standard to meet.

:00:25.:00:29.

The congestion charge is to go up by 15% in June.

:00:30.:00:32.

to keep congestion levels down in the capital.

:00:33.:00:35.

businesses assess the damage and the cost.

:00:36.:00:46.

It was a great way to open the film, showing the city in a spectacular

:00:47.:00:52.

way. We just asked, and they let us do it.

:00:53.:00:55.

Tom Cruise on his delight at filming his latest film in the capital.

:00:56.:01:06.

Good evening and welcome to the programme.

:01:07.:01:08.

The mayor says it's a reassurance for London's two million renters,

:01:09.:01:12.

but critics are calling his new initiative a meaningless gimmick.

:01:13.:01:26.

The mayor has come up with an accreditation scheme so that tenants

:01:27.:01:30.

can rent with confidence, but critics are branding the new

:01:31.:01:35.

voluntary initiative a gimmick, saying the scheme lacks teeth. Here

:01:36.:01:39.

is Emma North. This is not your average student

:01:40.:01:44.

house, six bedrooms, and some entertaining space, one Jacuzzi. Nor

:01:45.:01:48.

was this an average morning for its tenants, they'd clearly done some

:01:49.:01:52.

cleaning, and they welcomed the mayor for a guided tour. So this is

:01:53.:01:57.

the living room? It is a change from their last home. We lived in an

:01:58.:02:02.

abandoned pub, more often than not we didn't have hot water. We also

:02:03.:02:09.

have some furry friends living with us. So for the owners of a decent

:02:10.:02:13.

property, being part of the new accreditation system seems like a

:02:14.:02:17.

good deal. If you can present yourself as an accredited landlord,

:02:18.:02:21.

it is something the landlord wants to do. Under the new London rental

:02:22.:02:27.

standard, a landlord must of his property in good condition, clear

:02:28.:02:30.

communication with tenants, and must respond quickly to any problems, but

:02:31.:02:35.

the scheme is only voluntary and there are no fresh ways of enforcing

:02:36.:02:40.

a tenant's writes. There are fears that the new scheme will create a

:02:41.:02:48.

double layer of renting in London. To what degree will this offer

:02:49.:02:52.

protection to a tenant, guarantee of tenure or rental protection that

:02:53.:02:56.

things will not go up 20% a year? You can't do that, and in markets

:02:57.:03:01.

where they have tried to do that, they drive properties off the

:03:02.:03:05.

market, and you see an increase in rents, that is what happened in

:03:06.:03:09.

Germany. Talking of rent controls, people say, stuff that, I will not

:03:10.:03:14.

put it on the market, and lo and behold, there is a shortage. This is

:03:15.:03:24.

very much a landlord's market, tenants do not have choice, they

:03:25.:03:27.

have to go for the first thing they can afford, whether or not a

:03:28.:03:29.

landlord is any good or not. This man claimed he had to withhold rent

:03:30.:03:33.

to get the landlord to fix the hot water. Would the new scheme have

:03:34.:03:39.

helped? I don't think... It is hard to say, because in my opinion his

:03:40.:03:44.

skills as a landlord would that great. Maybe an accreditation scheme

:03:45.:03:53.

might help him have better communication. The capital's

:03:54.:03:56.

property problems are well publicised. Whether this latest

:03:57.:03:59.

scheme works will depend on London's appetite for goodwill.

:04:00.:04:06.

Lots more to come, including Tower Hamlets Council says

:04:07.:04:08.

it has now received ten official complaints

:04:09.:04:10.

about intimidation during the elections last week.

:04:11.:04:19.

The congestion charge is to increase from ?10 to ?11.50 from mid`June.

:04:20.:04:24.

Customers using the auto`pay system will see the rate rise to ?10.50.

:04:25.:04:29.

TfL said that since the congestion charge was introduced in 2003,

:04:30.:04:33.

more than ?1.2 billion of revenue has been re`invested in transport.

:04:34.:04:40.

Well, we can get more on this now from Victoria Graham in Southwark.

:04:41.:04:47.

Victoria. Alice, thank you, yes, as you quite

:04:48.:04:55.

rightly say, the congestion charge hasn't risen since 2011, but it is

:04:56.:05:04.

about to. It is going to go up by ?1.50, and for all to pay customers

:05:05.:05:10.

it will go up to ?10.50. That is a rise of 15% across`the`board. DSLR

:05:11.:05:19.

promising improvements. `` tear `` tear `` TfL. It has more than

:05:20.:05:32.

doubled since it was introduced. Earlier I spoke to the chief

:05:33.:05:36.

operating officer and asked him to justify the increase. The reason for

:05:37.:05:41.

the congestion charge is to provide a deterrent to control the volume of

:05:42.:05:45.

traffic in central London, make sure traffic keeps moving, make sure we

:05:46.:05:48.

have got space for pedestrians and cycling and everything else. To

:05:49.:05:53.

maintain that level of deterrent overtime, the charge needs to rise

:05:54.:06:00.

broadly in line with inflation. You say you have listened to customers,

:06:01.:06:10.

isn't this just about making a profit? It is about maintaining the

:06:11.:06:16.

effectiveness of the congestion charge. Traffic volumes have reduced

:06:17.:06:18.

by 20% since the day it came in, charge. Traffic volumes have reduced

:06:19.:06:21.

by 20% since the day and they have stayed down, and it is about

:06:22.:06:25.

maintaining that, maintaining the road space for everything that needs

:06:26.:06:31.

to go on in central London. Well, there was a public consultation

:06:32.:06:37.

about this earlier in the year, and TfL say they are listening to

:06:38.:06:40.

customers. I am sure some motorists will not welcome the rise with open

:06:41.:06:44.

arms, but there were some people I spoke to earlier in the day who

:06:45.:06:49.

think it is a positive move. I like the idea that there is less cars on

:06:50.:06:53.

the road, and they don't need to be on the road. I think it is well

:06:54.:06:58.

worth it, because it enhances the experience of being in the city.

:06:59.:07:02.

Still driving, it is part of the job. The price rise will mean a

:07:03.:07:11.

generated income over the next five years of ?82 million. TfL say they

:07:12.:07:15.

will reinvest that Kindertransport around London. To find out all the

:07:16.:07:19.

details, go to the BBC London website, I am sure there will be a

:07:20.:07:24.

discussion about this on BBC London 94.9 in the morning.

:07:25.:07:27.

caused by a fire in Camden Market last week has been revealed.

:07:28.:07:32.

For the properties directly affected, today was the first day

:07:33.:07:34.

the owners were able to access their businesses.

:07:35.:07:36.

This is how Camden should luck, bustling, business booming, not

:07:37.:07:48.

burnt out. And yet is is how Molly's business looks, her yoga

:07:49.:07:55.

centre was engulfed in smoke. There was a class in session, the students

:07:56.:07:59.

were evacuated straightaway. The fire came in from under the train

:08:00.:08:04.

tracks. This window was smashed by the heat. The fire came in up here.

:08:05.:08:10.

This is the worst bit. This is where it came into the ceiling and the

:08:11.:08:14.

insulation. You can see people's shoes, just left without their

:08:15.:08:19.

shoes. We have put so much into this, it has been eight months, you

:08:20.:08:23.

know? We put so much into it, it is completely daunting to think about

:08:24.:08:27.

all the students going to other studios up the road, going somewhere

:08:28.:08:31.

else and never coming back. And then there is this beautiful space, what

:08:32.:08:35.

if it has a big scar in it and it is never the same kind of thing? The

:08:36.:08:39.

view from her window reminds that other businesses fared even worse.

:08:40.:08:43.

Today they were able to return to start clearing up. Businesses like

:08:44.:08:47.

this martial arts gym run by father and son. If you close the market, no

:08:48.:08:53.

sales, no business, you have still got to pay for everything, and

:08:54.:08:56.

especially when you are a small trader, that is very top. After the

:08:57.:09:01.

fire, this area of the market was closed for two days. It was not just

:09:02.:09:06.

the properties that were gutted by the blaze that were suffering, and

:09:07.:09:10.

to give you an idea, this may look busy, but it is about a third of the

:09:11.:09:14.

number of people you would expect to see on a weekday. The fire brigade

:09:15.:09:19.

to say because of the fire is likely to have been electric land it was an

:09:20.:09:23.

accident. Traders talk of dodgy electrics. The landlord said they

:09:24.:09:28.

weren't able to comment while investigation was under way and they

:09:29.:09:31.

were not able to tell 20 stallholders when electricity would

:09:32.:09:36.

be returned. Some now rely candles. We have been affected very badly, as

:09:37.:09:42.

you can see, there are no lights. We are just opening for the sake of

:09:43.:09:49.

opening. But we are trying. As are others, trying to rebuild their

:09:50.:09:52.

businesses, their livelihoods. Today was the first day they were able to

:09:53.:09:56.

make a start, and for that alone they are thankful.

:09:57.:10:00.

Former Charlton Academy goalkeeper George Howard

:10:01.:10:01.

is in a critical condition in a South African hospital

:10:02.:10:04.

The 20`year`old, who has also played for Bromley and Gillingham,

:10:05.:10:07.

is in a coma and has been on life support

:10:08.:10:10.

since the collision, which happened last Friday.

:10:11.:10:17.

found dead on a road in Germany more than a decade ago

:10:18.:10:21.

has accused the authorities there of destroying evidence.

:10:22.:10:23.

Jeremiah Duggan, who was 22 and from north London, died in 2003.

:10:24.:10:26.

His body was discovered on the autobahn.

:10:27.:10:28.

but today his mother Erica claimed at a hearing

:10:29.:10:32.

that her son was the victim of foul play.

:10:33.:10:34.

A full inquest is expected to start in February next year.

:10:35.:10:44.

There have been warnings today that the London housing market

:10:45.:10:46.

could be facing a natural correction by slowing down.

:10:47.:10:49.

The chief executive of Nationwide, Graham Beale,

:10:50.:10:50.

told the BBC that buyers were starting to baulk

:10:51.:10:53.

at the high prices being demanded by sellers

:10:54.:10:55.

and the era of rapid price rises could be about to end.

:10:56.:11:06.

news teams where you are. Next, Londoners are least likely

:11:07.:11:07.

to describe themselves as racist. news teams where you are.

:11:08.:11:10.

Results from a survey of British attitudes found wide variations

:11:11.:11:11.

news teams where you are. across the country but with only 16%

:11:12.:11:12.

of people in inner London admitting news teams where you are.

:11:13.:11:14.

to racial prejudice. news teams where you are.

:11:15.:11:16.

We'll be discussing this more in a moment,

:11:17.:11:17.

news teams where you are. but first here's Tarah Welsh. End of

:11:18.:11:31.

Tomorrow of tomorrow Racial violence, an angry crowd of youths

:11:32.:11:38.

chases a negro into a London shop. London in 1958. Is man remembers it

:11:39.:11:44.

well. We were selling a house in the neighbourhood. You need the money to

:11:45.:11:50.

deposit and it says no black, no Irish no dogs. It looks like a

:11:51.:11:56.

different place. In this cafe the coffee is Indonesian, the staff come

:11:57.:11:59.

from all over the world too. I have been in the UK for almost 14

:12:00.:12:07.

year, and yes, I say racism is far, far from what London is, I feel

:12:08.:12:11.

always very welcome, people are very friendly. A study of British

:12:12.:12:15.

attitudes found a third of people admitted to being racially

:12:16.:12:19.

prejudiced. The survey showed that during the 90s levels of racism were

:12:20.:12:24.

going down. In this century, they have been going up. It also showed

:12:25.:12:28.

variations across the country. In the West Midlands for example, 35%

:12:29.:12:33.

of people admitted to be being prejudiced. In inner London that was

:12:34.:12:39.

just 16%. What is interesting about both areas is they are ethnically

:12:40.:12:43.

diverse but in London you have a young mobile well educated

:12:44.:12:47.

population, in the West Midlands you have diversity but you have more

:12:48.:12:51.

poverty and that seems to be what is driving the differences. The study

:12:52.:12:55.

found the majority of people concerned about immigration didn't

:12:56.:13:00.

see themselves as racist. The country needs immigration, you know,

:13:01.:13:05.

tightened up. Tighten it. It is not so much to do with people being

:13:06.:13:08.

different cultures it is to do with pressure I have grown up in this

:13:09.:13:12.

city, I love it for the fact it is like that. I have friends frefry

:13:13.:13:15.

walk of life and I love that. I wouldn't have it any other way, I am

:13:16.:13:19.

worried about us busting at the seems a bit. While most of us don't

:13:20.:13:25.

see ourselves as racist few seem to think things are perfect either.

:13:26.:13:30.

news teams where you are. Joining me now is Omar Khan

:13:31.:13:32.

from the racial equality think`tank news teams where you are.

:13:33.:13:34.

the Runnymede Trust, and Sunny Singh, an author from North

:13:35.:13:35.

news teams where you are. London who has written about her

:13:36.:13:37.

experience of racism in the city. You had a shocking experience in the

:13:38.:13:47.

street. Given we know, you know, a high percentage of inner Londoners

:13:48.:13:51.

are from ethnic minorities are you surprised it wasn't greater? Well,

:13:52.:13:55.

it was the first experience I had on the street. I have never felt

:13:56.:13:59.

unsafe. Unfortunately, since then, I have had lots of people, including

:14:00.:14:02.

friends, colleagues and strangers reach out to tell me it is common.

:14:03.:14:09.

So I think I am beginning to wonder how many people report it and I

:14:10.:14:13.

think that is something I am increasingly wondering about. I

:14:14.:14:17.

think we are all invested in the idea of Londons as this wonderful

:14:18.:14:20.

multicultural place which may not be true. Did you report it? Yes, it

:14:21.:14:27.

took a bit of effort and I think... It took an effort because you don't

:14:28.:14:30.

want to admit this is happening, because you didn't want to make a

:14:31.:14:34.

big deal of it? It was strange, I felt, the first time that I found

:14:35.:14:38.

the Met police also than sympathetic, they were aggressive

:14:39.:14:42.

and if we hadn't persisted in pointing out, no it wasn't just

:14:43.:14:47.

mugging or, you know public affray, they won't would have been happy to

:14:48.:14:51.

left it at that and forgotten about the 15 minutes of racially charged

:14:52.:14:56.

abuse that had led to the attack. That was your experience. Omagh

:14:57.:15:02.

Khan, that is a blatant situation of racism in the street, but often

:15:03.:15:08.

racism can be insidious, it can be during job interviews or when

:15:09.:15:13.

landlords are assessing people to rent their flats. What can people do

:15:14.:15:18.

and be looking out for? Well, in terms of the outcomes you indicated,

:15:19.:15:24.

it is really important that if you look at the unemployment rates for

:15:25.:15:30.

young black men it is still 50% so that example is a horrible one but

:15:31.:15:34.

the pervasiveness of racism means if you are black oration you have to

:15:35.:15:38.

send in twice as many CVs and a lot of people aren't aware of that. They

:15:39.:15:42.

think perhaps they didn't get the job because they were

:15:43.:15:45.

underqualified. The reality shows continued racism in the job market

:15:46.:15:48.

but in criminal justice where black men are seven times more likely to

:15:49.:15:52.

be stopped and searched. Are we saying that racism and

:15:53.:15:56.

discrimination are the same thing? Is that what you understand by

:15:57.:16:01.

racism? Does it poll qloi be discriminated against if people

:16:02.:16:05.

admit to feeling a certain amount of racism. The challenges when they

:16:06.:16:10.

have unequal outcomes in society. The extreme outcomes are the most,

:16:11.:16:16.

you know, arguably less common Monday but it remains the case you

:16:17.:16:21.

might have a hiring degree but you earn less, so yes, racism has

:16:22.:16:26.

changed but it doesn't mean it doesn't affect people's lives. The

:16:27.:16:31.

evidence suggests that, class and other explanations have limited

:16:32.:16:34.

effectiveness and racism is still part of the explanation. It is a

:16:35.:16:39.

huge subject. We have run out of time but thank you very much for

:16:40.:16:40.

joining us. news teams where you are.

Tim Donovan is outside the Town Hall news teams where you are.

:17:16.:17:16.

in Tower Hamlets This is claim and counter claim. Is

:17:17.:17:32.

from any firm evidence any voters were intimidated? It may not prove

:17:33.:17:36.

straightforward because much of this may come down to perception and what

:17:37.:17:41.

the intention was, one person sense of feeling intimidated may be

:17:42.:17:46.

another's of over campaigning and there was a lot of last minute

:17:47.:17:49.

campaigning outside a number of polling stations last Thursday. Not

:17:50.:17:55.

just involving the Tower Hamlet group but Labour, Conservatives as

:17:56.:17:57.

well. The Conservatives said there was intim day, the Electoral

:17:58.:18:02.

Commission said it has been aware of 20 complaints or comments suggesting

:18:03.:18:07.

an intimidatory atmosphere but nothing serious enough to give to

:18:08.:18:10.

the police. The police haven't said whether they have received

:18:11.:18:14.

complaints but Tower Hamlets said they have received ten complaints.

:18:15.:18:18.

The police have said a small number of reports of aggressive campaigning

:18:19.:18:22.

were dealt with at the polling stations by the presiding officer,

:18:23.:18:26.

and police on duty at the venue on the day. No arrests but they say if

:18:27.:18:32.

anyone has complaints they must come forward. The newly`elected First

:18:33.:18:38.

Groan have said this is politically motivated. I asked one of their

:18:39.:18:43.

councillors this. Do you accept some of your supporters have been acting

:18:44.:18:47.

in an intimidatory fashion? I don't think so. Not that I know of. If nay

:18:48.:18:50.

have there should be an investigation, if people feel they

:18:51.:18:54.

have been intimidated, then they should follow the correct procedure,

:18:55.:18:59.

in reporting it to the police. And Tim, there is continuing

:19:00.:19:03.

scrutiny of how they managed the count is itself, isn't there? Of

:19:04.:19:08.

course, because they held up the declaration of the London wide

:19:09.:19:11.

European result. They are saying here they have an unprecedented task

:19:12.:19:16.

because they had the mayoral first and second preference, council and

:19:17.:19:19.

the European, they had a very high turn out. 50% or so and tomorrow the

:19:20.:19:24.

Electoral Commission will set out its turn terms of reference for the

:19:25.:19:27.

review it is doing up and down the country, which will focus on the

:20:00.:20:06.

time, in January this man, the Belgian millionaire bought the club.

:20:07.:20:10.

He owns several other clubs, throughout the Continent. The

:20:11.:20:13.

manager, when he took over was Chris Powell. Very popular with the

:20:14.:20:17.

players and the fans but he was sacked in March with a team bottom

:20:18.:20:21.

of the table. The owner brought in this man from Belgium. He was tasked

:20:22.:20:26.

with keeping Charlton up. He did that and hoped it would earn him a

:20:27.:20:31.

contract extension. Last week he was told his services were no longer

:20:32.:20:37.

required. Bob Peeters was announced as the manager. He has some

:20:38.:20:43.

experience of British football. He played for Millwall, but this is his

:20:44.:20:50.

first managerial job in the country. I spoke to Paul Mortimer about how

:20:51.:20:55.

he will adapt to the Championship. This division, I think it is the

:20:56.:21:00.

fourth best watched in Europe. You know, he will, he will be in for

:21:01.:21:05.

ashow, a culture shock. I know he will have played in it before, but

:21:06.:21:09.

playing and managers is two different thing, he will have to hit

:21:10.:21:14.

the ground run, it is a crucial season for them, because as Charlton

:21:15.:21:18.

players, fan, they don't want to go through another season like the

:21:19.:21:20.

previous one. So Chris, what will be expected of

:21:21.:21:25.

the new manager next season? The owner has never been clear where his

:21:26.:21:33.

priority lie, but the biggest club he owns is Liege. It maybe that Bob

:21:34.:21:38.

Peeters has been told it is another season of transition he has to keep

:21:39.:21:42.

Charlton in the Championship until the owner invests more money into

:21:43.:21:46.

Charlton and says the time the right to pub for the Premier League.

:21:47.:21:47.

We shall see. Thank you. Now, for film stars, greeting fans

:21:48.:21:51.

and posing for photographers on the red carpet might not look

:21:52.:21:54.

like that tough a job. But Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt have

:21:55.:21:57.

been facing quite a challenge today. The stars of Edge of Tomorrow are

:21:58.:22:00.

attending three premieres ` in London, Paris and New York `

:22:01.:22:03.

all in the space of 24 hours. Our Entertainment Correspondent

Brenda Emmanus caught up with them Morning has broken. But still ahead

of the rush hour, crowds gathered below ground in Waterloo. Free

:22:24.:22:27.

coffee was on hand for those keen enough for the early wake upical to

:22:28.:22:32.

meet some big names as a unique film premier. Ever done a morning premier

:22:33.:22:36.

before? The first time. It is is a surprise, a lucky surprise, I work

:22:37.:22:42.

across the road, so... So worth passing by. I can't believe it is

:22:43.:22:47.

Tom Cruise. It is 6.20 in the morning and there is an atmosphere

:22:48.:22:51.

like any full blown party. The word's press are in attendance, fans

:22:52.:22:56.

are here for the first pledgier of Edge of Tomorrow, one of three to

:22:57.:23:02.

take place in one day. You do know what is happening to me.

:23:03.:23:07.

Are we expected to pull out the stops but three yem Premiers is

:23:08.:23:13.

extraordinary. Was that your idea That is the in the theme of the

:23:14.:23:20.

movie. London, Paris and New York in one day may afford the team bragging

Tomorrow was the first production to shut down Trafalgar Square. Bus

routes were diverted an St for was given by the Royal Air Force and the

:23:43.:23:45.

Metropolitan Police. I have to tell you I really appreciate what they

:23:46.:23:49.

did, allowing us to do that, it was a great way to open the film, it

:23:50.:23:54.

showed the city a spectacular way. How did do you that? Come find me

:23:55.:24:01.

when you wake up. Hand`picked by Tom Cruise, how was

:24:02.:24:05.

the experience? Exciting, and, you know, challenging, and, you know,

:24:06.:24:09.

all of that but I think it was so cool to play such an action hero.

:24:10.:24:18.

Lovely fireworks. From attack the block to a blockbuster, Londoner

:24:19.:24:26.

Franz joined the early riser, He is such a nice guy. That struck me the

:24:27.:24:32.

most, how genuine and down`to`earth and generous, how generous he is.

:24:33.:24:36.

So, following three hours of posing and plugging the film, the cast was

:24:37.:24:42.

set for a day as action`packed as their big screen adventure.

:24:43.:24:51.

Now the weather. It was looking very wet. None of us can say other than

:24:52.:24:55.

it has been a grim day. It has. Temperatures today on the chill

:24:56.:24:59.

terms only 12 C. Not pleasant for a May Day but my weather story has a

:25:00.:25:03.

slightly happier ending to it. We are not alone, you can take a bit of

:25:04.:25:08.

comfort in that. If you see the satellite imagery, plenty of cloud

:25:09.:25:12.

in the whole of the UK. The main exception being out to the west. The

:25:13.:25:17.

cloud in the London area starting to become more Bobibly. At least for

:25:18.:25:22.

tonight we stick with the cloud sheet bringing light rain or

:25:23.:25:25.

drizzle. Particularly to the north and west and temperatures not

:25:26.:25:28.

dropping much lower than they were through the day, for some round 11

:25:29.:25:31.

or 12 as we go into the morning, what is going to happen is the cloud

:25:32.:25:36.

is going to start to lower. Asup tomorrow morning it is going to be a

:25:37.:25:40.

grey and misty start, a lot of fog as well across parts of the capital,

:25:41.:25:46.

particularly towards the Chilterns too. Now, that fog is going to hang

:25:47.:25:50.

round through the morning but for tomorrow it is going to be a drier,

:25:51.:25:55.

and brighter day by and large. The low cloud will start to thin and

:25:56.:26:00.

break. We will see light rain round, so be prepared. Into the afternoon

:26:01.:26:04.

the showers could get heavy and a bit thundery as well. But, there is

:26:05.:26:07.

good news because between the showers we will see sunshine coming

:26:08.:26:11.

there and it is that sunshine that will boost temperatures tomorrow to

:26:12.:26:15.

19 or 20 Celsius. The showers that form though through tomorrow,

:26:16.:26:18.

particularly to the north and west of London will hang round into

:26:19.:26:23.

Thursday, but it starts to turn dry through Thursday night and into

:26:24.:26:28.

Friday we see high pressure build. Friday will be a cloudy start, grey

:26:29.:26:33.

and misty, with one or two showers possible. Mainly to the south of

:26:34.:26:37.

London but a drier day and as high pressure continues to build into the

:26:38.:26:40.

weekend, here comes the happier story, a lot more sunshine round and

:26:41.:26:45.

warmer still. Thank you Matt.

:26:46.:26:51.

The main news headlines now. A senior Liberal Democrat has

:26:52.:26:56.

resigned. Lord Oakeshott was facing disciplinary action after

commissioning an opinion poll about Mr Clegg. There have been clashes in

:26:59.:27:03.

Calais as French police evicted hundreds of migrants from camps,

:27:04.:27:07.

French authorities say and outbreak of scabies and a lack of running

:27:08.:27:12.

water posed a health risk. Landlords in the capital can now join a new

:27:13.:27:19.

accreditation scheme. Boris Johnson says it will protect two million

:27:20.:27:22.

rents but critics say it is toothless. And the congestion charge

:27:23.:27:28.

is to increase from ?10 to 11. ?50 from the middle of June. TFL says it

:27:29.:27:33.

will help o reduce traffic jams. I will be back later during the Ten
