petrol`powered pump. Jailed for a friend of one of Lee

Rigby's killers who posted terrorist material on the internet. The

campaign to run the Tube later when England play in the World Cup.

And... Hello, I am from Red Dwarf. Could computers take over from the

human race? We will do an experiment to find out!

A very good evening. Welcome to the programme. A postmortem examination

on a seven`year`old boy who died during floods in Surrey has revealed

he was killed by carbon monoxide poisoning. The boy died from chertsy

in hospital in February. Surrey Police are conducting tests on a

pump seized from inside his home at the time of his death.

??FORCEWHITE This river may seem calm now, but back in February it

was a different story. There was a fierce current running through here.

Where I am standing now was completely under water. The flooding

devastated thousands of properties across the region. It took a life. A

seven`year`old boy who lived that house over there. Today, we came a

step closer to understanding how that tragedy happened.

For the past four months of the death has remained a mystery. On

Monday his father spoke about the family's devastating loss. Zane was

a special, talented ray of sunshine. An initial postmortem proved

inconclusive. Now a pathologist says the death was caused by carbon

monoxide poisoning. They are looking whether the hire company is liable.

All this is country to what the family was the cause. They believed

contaminated water went into their basement and poisonous gases of went

into the house. The family did pn't want to do an inter`` didn't want to

do an interview today. They will explore every avenue and say they

are keeping an open mind. An inquest into Zane's death will be

held by the Surrey Coroner, to try and establish, beyond doubt, what

killed him. Well, that inquest is unlikely to be

straightforward. The family remain convinced some kind of contamination

played a part. Not helped by a couple of things really. Firstly,

that originally Surrey County Council tried to deny the existence

of the former landfill site behind the house. The postmortem came back

inconclusive. On Monday we were told the results of the fresh tests will

be some time off. Now we've had them in a few days. None of that helping

really. What are the authorities saying now? Well, the police are

continuing to examine the pump thought to be responsible for this

carbon monoxide leak. Surrey County Council say their thoughts are with

the family but will not comment any further. Really, until we have this

full inquest, with all of the evidence in front of it, it is

difficult to be conclusive to say exactly what killed Zane.

Thank you. Plenty more ahead today, including:

Andy Murray's best friend on beating cancer and running a major tennis

tournament. A friend of one of Fusilier's Lee

Rigby's murderers has been sentenced to three year in prison. Ibrahim

Hassan was arrested after an interview with Newsnight. Our

correspondent joins us. What happened? After Lee Rigby's murder

last year in May, the identity of his two killers emerged and the

names were put in the media. At that time a friend of one of the men,

Michael Adebolajo, who was later convict and told he will serve at

least 45 years in prison. A friend of his, Ibrahim Hassan, the man we

are talking about. He came on the BBC and did an interview on

Newsnight. He TalkTalked about his `` talked about his friend. He said

he thought he had been radicalised because he had been tortured in

Kenya. He said when he came back to the UK, MI5 had been bothering him

and tried to recruit him. This is one of the claims he made in the

programme. We can see a clip now. He mentioned that they, initially they

wanted to ask him whether he new certain individuals. After him

saying he didn't know the individuals and so forth, he said

they asked him whether they would be interested in working for them. It

was not anything he said on Newsnight that led to today's

sentence? That is right. There is some scope for confusion.

He was arrested just after he had given that pre`recorded interview at

Newsnight, here at the BBC. He was arrested here. The reason for that

arrest was because police had found out he had uploaded material,

extreme material on to the internet arrest was because police had found

out he had and also he had carried out what he called his own lectures

when he gave thoughts about various things. He was

when he gave thoughts about various things. sentenced to three years.

He pleaded guilty a charge of encouraging terrorism. Another man

was sentenced too? Alongside him was a man. He had uploaded a video

called oop signs of a good death in Islam." He talked about how Muslims

could go to paradise if they died. One example was if they died on the

battlefield fighting British or American troops. Both had

convictions for sermons they had given at the Finsbury Park Mosque.

The judge said in light of the previous convictions, through

putting this material on the internet, they were playing with

fire. Thank you for that. Police are trying to trace a man who

assaulted a woman after she ignored him at a bar in Spitalfields. The

woman was having a conversation with a friend at the bar. When he

couldn't g get his attention. He through two drinks. One hit her in

the face. Plans to build eight new builds on London's South Bank have

been approved by the Government. Flats, offices, shops and

restaurants will make up part of the development. All 4,000 of Shell's

City`based staff will move to the site.

There were concerned over conversation rules. Construction is

expected to begin in late summer. A tiny studio flat in Islington,

being offered for rent, has been taken off the market by the council

I investigated after a photo of the ``. It investigated after a photo of

the flat went viral. It shows a single bed, metres from the hob. The

flat, advertised at nearly ?750 a month was too small to meet certain

legal requirements. England's first game in the World Cup is just over a

week away when they face Italy. The match in Brazil will be shown here

at 11pm. Licensing laws have been relaxed to allow pubs to stay open

for some of the late games. Businesses are calling on the mayor

to keep the Tube running later so fans can get home. Let's join our

correspondent in central London and can tell us more.

Well, it is a nice evening for a drink, isn't it? There is plenty of

drinking time left here tonight. Picture this, next week you have

come out to watch the game. Before the end you have to down your pint

and run for the last train. It is not scheduled to end before 1am.

After the last Tubes have already left. So, there are fears that

people just won't come to the West End to watch the match.

About 3,000 pubs and 300,000 people are expected to watch in London in

pubs that first match of the World Cup. So, it is really important that

we can get them home safely. It is the responsible place to watch the

World Cup. This is once in every four years. We did a fantastic job

over the Olympics where, assure the numbers were more attractive. This

would be a great way to get behind England, wouldn't it? What is

Transport for London saying about this? From next year TFL want to run

Tubes through the night at the weekends. This is a year away. This

is next weekend. It is short notice to move people's shifts around,

maintenance and engineering. There is the cost. All day we have got the

feeling this is very unliky. We've had a statement from TFL, saying,

"We are looking at the best way in which to guarantee we can get

everyone home safely after the football." They will announce the

outcome early next week. Of course, that is far from a promise. Thank

you very much. It is already travelled through 63

countries in the last seven months. Now the Queen's baton relay has made

it to London. This morning, it was met by school children at City Hall.

The smiling faces and the cheering crowds gave a sense of the

excitement near Tower Bridge this morning as the Queen's Relay Baton

made its way along the Thames. The first appearance in London this

weekend. Before the mayor got a chance to hold the baton, the Queen

began the journey, placing a secret message inside. It has made its way

through 63 countries, taking in sites from the Caribbean to the

scenery of Canada and carried through Gibraltar. Seeing the

excitement. Sport has that amazing thing of being able to make people

so excited. They come together. That is what sport does. It is such a

great joiner of people and I, you do feel the excitement and the

anticipation of the Commonwealth Games. Boris Johnson was keen to

stress he wants more people playing sport. As everybody knows we have an

obesity time bomb. We all have to lose weight and we are trying.

I am trying. I want to see those kids becoming the leets of tomorrow.

The two `` athletes of tomorrow. The two baton cariers `` carriers. I

have never been part of something so big. I am very excited. People pull

me over, from side to side, asking me questions. It is great. I saw

Christine. I was like, wow, she looks great. Inspire the kids.

Inspire elderly people to do exercise. Exercise is good for all

sorts of people. Inspire a whole community and the whole of the UK.

12 Londoners will carry the baton around the city this weekend, before

arriving in the Olympic Park on Sunday, for what has been called "a

festival of sport." Once there, thousands will be able to see the

baton close`up for themselves. Still to come this Friday evening:

Celebrating a life in show business. Linda Lewis, on surviving the 70s

and performing in her 60s. Next, can you tell the difference

between talking to a human and talking to a computer? This weekend,

in London, scores of scientists are testing a theory devised by the man

known as the father of computing. It will show if computers have finally

got to be able to mimic a conversation. An experiment with

computers is under way, which could give us a real insight into the

future. This experiment works by the judges

here having a conversation, two conversations at a time. They have

to decide, are they talking to a computer or to the humans down here.

It is called the choring test, named after the scientist, who imagined

that one day a computer might be able to imitate humans. These are

separate conversations with two different entities. They want to

decide which one of these people is a computer or which one is a real

person. For each conversation, there are five judges. Watching,

developers, who hope their programme will be the first to pass.

I am hoping it will be mine ` Clever`Bot. Al`Bot. I am routing for

mine. Let's try this with just one question.

being. I think they're bluffing because the reply doesn't make any

sense. No, you are wrong. It's the one on the right. It can be hard to

tell. As one of the judges, actor, better known from the series Red

Dwarf confirmed. One of the computer did smiling faces and made typos and

it's really hard. Is this fun? Creighton would love it, who knows,

the human beings are delightful, but are they really human or machines?

If a computer does pass this test, what could that mean for the future?

The ultimate really is the full Choring test in terms of a robot.

There it is. Is it human? Is it machine? You don't know. They may be

rather different to those dreamt up in science fiction but one day a

robot could be your friend. The result of the test at the Royal

Society will be announced tomorrow evening.

Interesting. The company which owns South End Airport says it's opening

to see five million passengers a year travel through it by the end of

the decade. Last year under a million people used the airport.

The opportunity to really grow is there. The facilities are in place,

the group has invested a lot of money in developing the terminal so

we have a very good facility now which can develop and support a lot

more growth. It's Friday night. Time for all the

sport. It's over to Chris.

It's been a disappointing afternoon for Andy Murray, beaten by Rafael

Nadal in straight sets in the French Open semifinal. Next week he will

compete here in the capital in the traditional warm`up to Wimbledon

At Queen's Club. His friend has taken on the role of tournament

director. When Andy Murray won Queens last

June the trophy wasn't his first thought. We are playing an

exhibition match after we are done with this nonsense.

LAUGHTER My best friend over there, Ross, he

was diagnosed with cancer. Back then Ross was about to complete chip

therapy `` chip therapy. In August `` chemotherapy. In August came the

all`clear and he is fighting fit again. I am touched by the support I

got over the years and looking back now it's very heart`warming, very

pleasing to know that I am here. Ross, a top doubles player, has been

able to resume his tennis career. When Queens begins on Monday, he

won't be playing, because he's taken on the role of tournament director.

My biggest duties are looking after players, media sponsors, scheduling,

making sure the fans are happy and a lot of things on site. Last month

tennis was touched by tragedy when former British number one Elena

Baltacha died. At Queens next week Ross and Andy Murray will play an

event in her memory. She was an incredible girl, a fantastic

competitor. Successful, always wanted to go above and beyond in

terms of training. And giving back to fans and media. We will be

celebrating her life and thinking about her when we are out there. At

the end of the year, Andy will be best man at Ross's wedding, before

then comes a small task of trying to repeat his Queen's club and of

course Wimbledon victories of a year ago. Is it realistic to expect that

again from him? Well, you know, he's done so well over the last few

years. You wouldn't put it past him. We know how strong a tournament this

is and how big a tournament Wimbledon is also. But the fact that

Andy is the defending champion here and at Wimbledon and the fact that

Andy has been so successful in so many big tournaments the last five

years I don't see why not. Before he can go for nor glory on London's

grass courts Ross and his team have plenty of work to do.

Squash doesn't have an Olympic place so next month's Commonwealth Games

is a big deal for the sport. Alison Waters and Adrian Grant hope to

feature among the medals having been selected. Grant won gold in the

men's doubles four years ago. Waters is currently women's world number

six. This time it's closer to home, in Glasgow, and yeah, we have just `

we have a similar team. We have all improved, we are getting better. We

are going to try and repeat history. We are not an Olympic sport, the

Commonwealth is our Olympics. For us it's the Commonwealth is the most

important tournament and one we are looking forward to.

In football, AFC Wimbledon's plans to build a new 11`000 seat stadium

have receiveded a boost after an independent report from Merton

Council ruled any redevelopment of the site can include sporting

intensification. An Irish`based consortium also want to build a new

greyhound stadium there. In Rugby Union, Harlequins

scrum`half Danny Care will miss England's first test against New

Zealand tomorrow. Care jarred his shoulder in training and will be

replaced by Ben Youngs. He will return to training on Monday or

Tuesday and is expected to be fit for the second Test a week on

Saturday. It was one of the most visually

impressive sports at the 2012 Olympics and trampolining now has a

permanent home in the south`east. An indoor park, thought to be one of

the first of its kind in this part of the country, has opened in

Surrey. Jim can tell us more about it.

They're literally bouncing off the walls. A 27,000`square foot

warehouse, and it has every kind of trampoline you could wish for. It's

making fitness fun. Perhaps surprising, but the inspiration to

create this concept, came from our weather. I think we had the wettest

June on record and we felt there was a lack of activities that engage the

youth of today and got them exercising and having fun away from

their iPads and my husband had seen a u`tube `` YouTube clip of one of

the American parks. We realised after research there was nothing

like it here. In America, there are over 170 parks like this one. The

idea is starting to spread across the world. Here you can trampoline

for exercise, for fun or to hone your skills. Amanda believesle it's

ideal for encouraging school children to get into exercise.

They'll find it very appealing. Our aim at a school being local to here

is to get some students to come down, get to use the facilities so

obviously to have a jump, play dodgeball which I think they'll love

and to get maybe some of our girls that aren't quite as into all the

sports to do the fitness lessons they have on offer here. It's really

good. And fun and just great. It's really fun. It's amazing and it's

literally amazing. I like that you don't have to stop jumping after you

have been on one trampoline, that you can keep going. If you fancy a

tumble, this could be the place for you.

Looks like plenty of fun. That's all from me.

Never has a sport looked so much fun, I want to go.

Now she is an east London singer, Linda Lewis has performed with David

Bowie and Cat Stevens, with a new album on the way she's been speaking

to our entertainment correspondent about her four decades in the music

business. She's the singer in proud possession

of a five objecting taf vocal `` octave vocal range. She is also an

accomplished singer songwriter in her own right. Now rehearsing a

version of one song she prepares for a concert this weekend at the Jazz

Cafe. Singing was and remains her firs love after four decades in the

business `` first. My first MEP wear is when I was three `` first memory

is when I was three, singing in a corner shop. Everyone all gave me

money, so that was nice! My mum was like, oh, get in there. As a

teenager, lip da moved to a commune in Hampstead frequented by stars ``

Linda. Who did you find the most inspiring to work with? David Bowie.

He was the sweetest, nicest one. Cat Stevens inspired me in the writing

department because his songwriting has got, you know, it's got

influence on me. Her concert this weekend will

feature her signature hits and material from her forthcoming album

Hampstead Days, a journey through her back catalogue recorded live

with a band. It's just showing you how I developed. Being an acoustic

girl, to when I was singing about, I am not a little girl, and going all

sophisticated and stuff. Linda will be at the Jazz Cafe this Sunday and

the album released this June. It was lovely to see the sun shining

for today's D`Day commemorations in Normandy. Let's look to the weekend

weather hooer. `` here. Sunshine there and here. Tomorrow

the risk of storms. It's a risk with humid air coming our day. Because of

the nature of the storms one or two may be lucky and avoid them and get

away with a reasonably decent day. Let me show you what's going on,

it's happening across south`west France and some north eastern parts

of Spain. This zone of cloud separates fresher air in the

Atlantic and humid air across western Europe and just here we are

seeing storms develop and they're set to push northwards. You will

notice they're a good way away from us at the moment. So it's dry out

there, a fine evening. Enjoy it if you can. Temperatures are going to

hold up nicely. Humid, even with that breeze. Watch towards the

latter half, we will see the cloud build. There could be a few

spectacular lightning storms. Towards dawn we could see torrential

rain storms develop from the south with hail mixed in.

rain storms develop from the south with hail mixed Across the capital

and around us we see the morning as the main shower risk, the risk of

those storms. Even with them there will be gaps around, some of you

will slip between them. Watch how the bulk push to the north by the

afternoon. It's a brightening up kind of day. A good deal Brier, as

well. Temperatures could hit around 22C if you are heading off to Epsom

Derby, the main risk of the rain is earlier on. By 4.00pm I am

optimistic the storms should be out of the way. A fine evening we will

be left with into Saturday night. A cool night to take us into Sunday.

Sunday starts on a dry and bright note. A light breeze. A few showers

developing to the north and east of London through the afternoon. Most

of you will have a largely dry day. Temperatures on Sunday up to around

24C. It looks like a fine end to the weekend. We could see more storms

through Sunday into Monday. That's how it's looking. Enjoy your

weekend. Thank you very much. The main headlines: The Queen joined

heads of state and war veterans in Normandy to honour those who died in

the D`Day landings 70 years ago. An estimated 4,000 troops lost their

lives. The IMF has given an upbeat

assessment of the British economy saying growth is better than

joining us. We are back with our late news. Until then, from here,

have a lovely weekend. The average person moves home

eight times during their life. So that's eight times

we have to move the sofa. Eight times

we have to redecorate. Eight times

we have to locate the stopcock. But there's one thing

that's easy to do when you move - you can switch your TV licence

online.
