:00:00. > :00:15.That's it from us. Have a very good night.
:00:16. > :00:23.Good evening and welcome to BBC London News.
:00:24. > :00:28.Two years ago campaigning for re-election Boris Johnson claimed
:00:29. > :00:32.his rival had claimed more time in Havana than in Havering. Since
:00:33. > :00:37.winning a second mayoral Territorial Army term, the BBC has learned that
:00:38. > :00:43.he has spent more time in Doha than he has in Dagenham. He is in danger
:00:44. > :00:50.of becoming a zone one mayor, withsy the accusation he made about his
:00:51. > :00:54.predecessor. This report contains some flash photography. Ken
:00:55. > :00:58.Livingstone went around the world to promote the capital, taking in
:00:59. > :01:02.places like India on his travels. Boris Johnson has done the same.
:01:03. > :01:07.That has not stopped the current mayor publicly criticising his
:01:08. > :01:13.predecessor. He went to Havana more than Havering. It was a line
:01:14. > :01:19.repeated in the 2012 manifesto. Analysis of his dairy for 2013 shows
:01:20. > :01:24.he spent more time at the say voi than every outer London -- Savoy
:01:25. > :01:29.than every other outer London borough. He hoped outer London to
:01:30. > :01:35.vote him back in. He turned his back on it. It is interesting about the
:01:36. > :01:38.foreign visits. He talks a lot to developer friends. I represent
:01:39. > :01:42.Shoreditch, which is about to have a very big development. I hope he'll
:01:43. > :01:45.come here and talk as much to Londoners about their issues than
:01:46. > :01:50.the foreign investors. The mayor's passport was well used. There was a
:01:51. > :01:56.big trip to China. There have been many others. Has he turned his back
:01:57. > :02:01.on the outer London boroughs? The mayor made it clear that outer
:02:02. > :02:06.London was a priority to him. He went there 100 times in his four
:02:07. > :02:11.years. That is 100 official engagements, not just political
:02:12. > :02:17.visits or anything else. And that was twice, or three times what Ken
:02:18. > :02:23.Livingstone had done. The mayor's team, like the man
:02:24. > :02:28.himself, remain bullish. He has not forgotten his roots, they say.
:02:29. > :02:34.Expert to see more of him overseas. A thief has stolen the medals of a
:02:35. > :02:39.92-year-old veteran on the 70 anniversary of D-Day. The conman
:02:40. > :02:42.entered the home in Barnet. It happened on frie while
:02:43. > :02:48.commemorations were taking place in France. The thief got away with all
:02:49. > :02:52.11 of the veteran's medals. Bus passengers can now take an extra
:02:53. > :02:56.journey even if they don't have enough credit on their Oyster card.
:02:57. > :02:58.The policy is being introduced ahead of all buses going completely
:02:59. > :03:10.cashless next month. Cash was once king on London's buses
:03:11. > :03:15.and the only way to pay your fare. All that is changing. In a month's
:03:16. > :03:21.time, the capital's bus network will go completely cashless. To prepare
:03:22. > :03:25.for the move, today Transport for London launched the initiative. The
:03:26. > :03:29.scheme means even if you don't have enough credit for travel, so long as
:03:30. > :03:34.you have a positive balance on your Oyster card, in my case 20 p, you
:03:35. > :03:37.can use the bus. If you have a negative balance you will not be
:03:38. > :03:41.able to travel. What about Londoners in more remote areas, where there
:03:42. > :03:46.are fewer places to top-up. We have done some reviews of the areas where
:03:47. > :03:52.we need more ticket shops where you can top-up. We have opened a few new
:03:53. > :03:57.ones. The majority of passengers use Oyster cards to pay for their
:03:58. > :04:02.travel. Only 1% pays for their journey with cash. Collecting that
:04:03. > :04:07.cash costs ?24 million a year. TFL say they will save ?130 million over
:04:08. > :04:12.nine years, all to be reinvested back into the bus network. Not all
:04:13. > :04:18.commuters are keen on the idea. If I cannot get to a place where they
:04:19. > :04:23.sell an op Oyster Card you can only do it in a shop, if it is not open
:04:24. > :04:27.and the station is not open, you have to get on the bus to use cash.
:04:28. > :04:35.Bus bosses insist going cashless is the best way forward for London.
:04:36. > :04:42.The Queen's baton was in the Olympic Park in Stratford today, as part of
:04:43. > :04:45.the build-up to the Commonwealth games next month. It arrived in
:04:46. > :04:50.style. There's a sort of lovely connection
:04:51. > :04:56.with sport and people getting inspired. You know, we all hope the
:04:57. > :05:01.Commonwealth games will do something for the whole country n the same way
:05:02. > :05:04.the Olympics did. Time now for the weather forecast with Sara.
:05:05. > :05:11.Good evening. We have seen temperatures up into the 20's today.
:05:12. > :05:15.The same for tomorrow. We have the risk of sharp showers developing
:05:16. > :05:19.through the afternoon. We are off to a dry start first thing tomorrow
:05:20. > :05:23.morning. A little bit of that rain may linger here and there. Most of
:05:24. > :05:27.the capital starts on a dry note tomorrow. Good spells of sunshine.
:05:28. > :05:34.Temperatures on the rise through the day. In the afternoon we have a risk
:05:35. > :05:37.of sharp showers dwroping, particularly towards the --
:05:38. > :05:41.developing, particularly towards the north. Tuesday - a different
:05:42. > :05:46.picture. A risk of one or two light showers. Pressure is pushing across
:05:47. > :05:50.the south of the UK. It will be cooler and fresher. A lot of dry
:05:51. > :05:55.weather through this week. That is it from the BBC London
:05:56. > :06:05.weekend team. I wish you a very good night.
:06:06. > :06:11.Good evening. It was quite warm today and humid. There was sunshine
:06:12. > :06:12.and also thundery
