That's all from us. Don't forget, there's a first look | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
at the papers over on the BBC City Hall has given the | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Metropolitan Police permission to go ahead and buy three water cannon | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
for use on the capital's streets. The decision comes | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
despite the fact that final approval for their use would need to be given | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
by the Home Secretary. They've never been used | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
on mainland Britain before. Our Home Affairs Correspondent, | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
Guy Smith reports. Some see them as a military | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
weapon that can potentially The Met, though, says it needs water | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
cannon to control violent disorder. And today, | :00:38. | :00:45. | |
London's Mayor gave the go`ahead to But critics say Boris Johnson | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
should not be pre`empting the Home Even the Met's own report | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
after the 2011 riots said that water cannon would not have been effective | :00:53. | :01:01. | |
or practical. It is no substitute for | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
a properly resourced police force. Since the last general election, | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
we've seen over 5,000 police Only recently, | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
20 out of 25 London Assembly members This is not the tool to catch | :01:13. | :01:22. | |
breakaway rioting units. Isn't this the thin edge | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
of the wedge between crossing that I have to say I'd be most | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
unhappy to see us go that way. But he changed his mind | :01:34. | :01:50. | |
earlier this year. If it's something | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
the police believe is operationally necessary, I think it's very | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
difficult for us as policymakers to say no, that is not a tool you | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
should have your disposal. City Hall says | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
the second`hand machines are only on New ones would cost more | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
than three times that. The Met welcomes the Mayor's | :02:08. | :02:16. | |
decision and stresses they will only be used if consent is given | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
by the Home Secretary. Policing officials say there is no | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
intelligence there will be violence over coming months but if water | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
cannon is to be of value, then it's A major investigation has been | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
launched to catch a gang of thieves who have been stealing | :02:31. | :02:39. | |
ticket machines across North London They used angle grinders | :02:40. | :02:42. | |

in the West End 40 years ago has Robert Donovan left Ford Open Prison | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
on day release in June 2010 and didn't return, He had been | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
sentenced for the murder in 1974. This follows a series | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
of incidents last month in which high`profile prisoners went | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
on the run from open prisons. Thousands of taxi drivers are | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
expected to bring traffic to a standstill tomorrow afternoon in a | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
protest over an internet`based firm The row is over protecting | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
their exclusive right to charge Let's cross to Chris Rogers | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
who's got more details. Up to 12,000 cab`drivers hope to | :03:30. | :03:45. | |
bring the streets of central London to a standstill at 2pm tomorrow. The | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
protesters over Transport for London's decision to allow UBER, an | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
online minicab service, to use a type of meter system. You can | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
download a UBER app onto your phone and use it to book one of their | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
drivers. There are 3000 licensed already in the capital but instead | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
of being charged normal flat rate for a journey, you are charged for | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
distance and time, a meter appears on the screen of your mobile phone. | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
Back cab`drivers say the use of metres is exclusive to them by law | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
and say tomorrow's protest is about passengers getting value for money. | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
This is a very difficult city to get about | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
But when you haven't got that knowledge and to follow Google Maps, | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
The reason why cab drivers are unhappy is the silence from TfL. | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
The silence is just deafening at the moment regarding the Uber. | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
Really we look at it as they should be helping us, | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
backing us up regarding this, and we're getting no help from them. | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
All cab drivers now have been pushed into this position. | :04:49. | :04:56. | |
The Met police are not happy either and told BBC London they plan to | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
stop the protest within an hour because the haven't contacted them | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
to discuss conditions and a route for the protest. | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
We'd have to consider placing conditions on this demonstration. | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
As it's a procession, we would be looking at time | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
and duration in order to minimise disruption to the rest of London. | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
And if the protesting taxi drivers don't abide to those conditions, | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
We would consider taking action because it's an offence not to | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
comply with any conditions placed on a procession of this sort. | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
Potentially it could result in arrest. | :05:28. | :05:36. | |
The organisers of tomorrow's black cab protest to save they have been | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
treated like criminals by the Met police and say they have tried to | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
contact them to discuss tomorrow's plans for their protest. Meanwhile, | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
TfL say they hope to settle a dispute over the use of the type of | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
meter scheme UBER are using it in the High Court later this year. | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
Chris, many thanks. Andy Murray is back at Queen's Club | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
tomorrow where he'll be defending Unfortunately it was a second round | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
defeat for Londoner James Ward. The British number three seed lost | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
in straight sets 7`5, 6`3 to the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov, | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
who's ranked 13th in the world. Time | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
for me to wish you a very goodnight and hand you over to Georgina | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
Burnett for a look at the weather. Fairly cloudy but with high | :06:19. | :06:37. | |
temperatures tomorrow. With that, comes the very high pollen cancer | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
hay fever sufferers beware. For tonight we start to lose the | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
south`westerly breeze we've had over the last few hours. Clear night | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
altogether. Fairly mild but not assume it assume it as it has been | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
recently with temperatures down to 9`10. A little cooler than last | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
night. For tomorrow, lots of sunny skies. Cloud comes and goes | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
throughout the day. Pretty much starts to thin out, though, as we | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
head towards the end of the day. Some late sunshine, a light breeze | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
as well. Temperatures, 22`23dC. Warmer than today. And we see those | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
temperatures gradually rising through the week, as well. The | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
outlook is looking dry, looking sunny, and may even be that we have | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
the highest temperature of the year so far on Friday. We will have to | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
wait and see for that. wait and see for that. Now the | :07:32. | :07:39. | |
National forecast. Hello. The thunderstorms and bumbling around at | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
the end of the day and the most intense in north-west England. In | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
Lancashire, Preston about 15 metres of rain nationally metres. That's | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
going summer. Today has been another in a long line of days. Of course, | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
these big showers and storms. But we are about to get a break. High | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
pressure is about to build into the UK, settling the weather down. That | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
means an end for now to the downpours. Not only will it be warm | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
but I think we will have dry weather for time, too. There are some heavy | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
showers around at the moment, though. Northern Scotland, | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
north-west England and Wales. Some of these will continue well into the | :08:28. | :08:28. |
