:00:00. > :00:17.from the BBC News at 6. died going to an illegal rave, his

:00:18. > :00:23.teacher described Rio Andrew as an A great people. The assemblies we have

:00:24. > :00:27.had today with his fellow students, their affection and the estdem in

:00:28. > :00:32.which they have clearly held him was all too clear and palpable. We will

:00:33. > :00:35.hear from the police, who h`ve been heavily criticised for not doing

:00:36. > :00:40.enough to stop the rave frol happening.

:00:41. > :00:45.Also tonight, guilty of takhng a husband's death, a couple sdntenced

:00:46. > :00:49.for a ?1 million insurance fraud. Escaping London's soaring property

:00:50. > :00:55.prices, new evidence reveals the cheapest places commute frol.

:00:56. > :01:03.Plus, the latest Olympic venue to open its doors to the public. Two

:01:04. > :01:06.years after the games and ?30 million later, what was oncd known

:01:07. > :01:10.as the wheelchair tennis venue is now reopened as the Lee Valley

:01:11. > :01:26.hockey and tennis centre. Good evening and welcome to the

:01:27. > :01:30.programme. Tributes have bedn paid to a 15`year`old boy who didd after

:01:31. > :01:35.going to an illegal rave in Croydon. Rio Andrew was a pupil at Holland

:01:36. > :01:40.Park school. Today his head teacher described him as an A great people

:01:41. > :01:44.destined for success. Policd say there main focus is to find the drug

:01:45. > :01:47.dealer who sold the drugs that killed him, but there is crhticism

:01:48. > :01:50.that officers knew the rave was being planned but failed to

:01:51. > :01:56.intervene. Alex Bushill has the story.

:01:57. > :02:01.Rio Andrew, 15 years old, popular, diligent, talented, and killed, it

:02:02. > :02:06.is thought, by a drug overdose at an illegal rave in Croydon. He was far

:02:07. > :02:10.from home, and at his school and Holland Park teachers and ptpils

:02:11. > :02:14.today were in mourning. The assemblies we have hailed today with

:02:15. > :02:19.his fellow students, their `ffection and the esteem in which thex have

:02:20. > :02:24.clearly held was all too cldar and palpable to us. Everyone who knew

:02:25. > :02:28.him and admired him, he had so much potential, particularly on the

:02:29. > :02:31.athletics track, and the self discipline to fulfil it. Always

:02:32. > :02:35.willing to join in and help, someone who was very popular with athletes

:02:36. > :02:41.and managers. He was England's schools champion, and he cotld

:02:42. > :02:46.easily have gone on to be an international. He was one of about

:02:47. > :02:50.1300 who descended on a distsed Royal Mail building in East

:02:51. > :02:55.Croydon. Residents filmed the noise from the sound systems inside. At

:02:56. > :03:00.one point, those inside through fire extinguishers at the police

:03:01. > :03:05.outside. In all, 14 arrests were made. Speak to those who went, and a

:03:06. > :03:09.picture emerges of a well organised event where ketamine and ecstasy

:03:10. > :03:12.were readily available. This 16`year`old did not want to appear

:03:13. > :03:18.on camera, his parents did not know he went to the rave, nor do many

:03:19. > :03:21.others, it seems. He says these are events designed for and poptlar with

:03:22. > :03:27.schoolchildren. They don't really mind about drugs, but they do care

:03:28. > :03:31.if you are trying to rob people start a fight, cause havoc. It is

:03:32. > :03:37.obvious people are either drunk or on drugs. Today it has emerged that

:03:38. > :03:41.police knew this was going to be used for a party two weeks `go. As

:03:42. > :03:46.stragglers left on Sunday, puestions were being at about police tactics.

:03:47. > :03:51.Today they grew into a crescendo with the local MP leading the

:03:52. > :03:55.charge. There are uncomfort`ble reminders of the riots, a vdry large

:03:56. > :03:59.crowd gathering with not enough police officers present. If the

:04:00. > :04:02.intelligence had been acted on, the building could have been secured and

:04:03. > :04:07.they could have been enough officers to stop the event going ahe`d. The

:04:08. > :04:11.Metropolitan Police has launched an inquiry into white intelligdnce was

:04:12. > :04:16.not acted upon, but also defended their tactics on the night. We have

:04:17. > :04:20.to make a difficult decision, either close the place and have 2000 people

:04:21. > :04:25.roaming the streets, or contain them in a venue they had chosen to go to

:04:26. > :04:28.where we could keep them safe, where they could cause minimal dalage It

:04:29. > :04:33.was a brave decision by the commander on the night, and I think

:04:34. > :04:37.it was the right decision. None the less, Rio Andrew is' death hs a

:04:38. > :04:41.warning of the wrist that tdenagers run to attend the latest, most edgy

:04:42. > :04:47.events. Looking ahead, preventing illegal

:04:48. > :04:52.raves poses a huge challengd to police. This kind of event hs not

:04:53. > :04:57.unusual or had to attend. You follow the promoter on a social media

:04:58. > :05:01.site, and within a few hours of the party beginning, you are given a

:05:02. > :05:05.number, you phone up to find out the exact location and time of the

:05:06. > :05:10.event. I was able to find a similar event in July with a view mhnutes of

:05:11. > :05:13.looking on the internet. If you go to these parties, you will find the

:05:14. > :05:18.irony is that they are well organised with scores of security

:05:19. > :05:24.guards, not to ensure they `re legal or drug`free, but to insure they are

:05:25. > :05:27.violence free. ?10 and you `re in. Police struggle, because organisers

:05:28. > :05:32.have a variety of locations are in mind, they can shift it at the last

:05:33. > :05:36.minute, and then it is a race between police and a critic`l mass

:05:37. > :05:40.of partygoers. If the partygoers get there in two large numbers, there is

:05:41. > :05:45.very little the police can do to regain control. But as we s`w, it

:05:46. > :05:51.resulted in the death of thhs much out of my head, much respected, much

:05:52. > :05:56.loved young boy. Stay with us, lots more to come

:05:57. > :06:00.tonight, including no more planes at playtime, the message from `

:06:01. > :06:09.Heathrow school to the commhssion looking at airport expansion.

:06:10. > :06:13.A man who faked his own death so his wife could claim more than ?1

:06:14. > :06:17.million in insurance money has been jailed for two and a half ydars

:06:18. > :06:21.Anju Kumar claimed that her husband died of brain fever in Indi`, but he

:06:22. > :06:27.was alive and well. More on this now from Daniel Boettcher, who hs at the

:06:28. > :06:32.Crown Court. Well, Sanjay Kumar pleaded guilty to

:06:33. > :06:37.six counts of fraud by falsd representation in April, and his

:06:38. > :06:40.wife pleaded guilty to two counts. Police say that Sanjay Kumar was

:06:41. > :06:44.insignificant financial debt and faked his death to try to collect

:06:45. > :06:48.more than ?1 million from insurance and investments. Anju Kumar,

:06:49. > :06:53.according to police, told insurers her husband had died of brahn fever

:06:54. > :06:58.on a trip to India and had been cremated in November 2011. But

:06:59. > :07:01.insurers became suspicious, they said they found no record of him

:07:02. > :07:06.being treated or admitted to hospital. Police say there was only

:07:07. > :07:10.a bogus death certificate and no evidence that the crematoritm even

:07:11. > :07:14.existed. City of London Polhce became involved, they found Anju

:07:15. > :07:19.Kumar had wired money to her husband in India two days after she claimed

:07:20. > :07:25.he had died. They later traced him as having returned to the UK from

:07:26. > :07:30.India in 2012 under an assuled name. Today he was sentenced to two and a

:07:31. > :07:34.half years in jail, his wifd was given five months, suspended for two

:07:35. > :07:40.years, and City of London Police gave this reaction outside court.

:07:41. > :07:44.They were unsuccessful due to the investigation by City of London

:07:45. > :07:46.Police. This type of fraud hs becoming more prevalent,

:07:47. > :07:51.unfortunately, and it puts lore money on two people's premitms,

:07:52. > :07:54.affecting the general public, and the judge, in his sentencing,

:07:55. > :08:00.described them as thieves, `nd that is what this case was. What else did

:08:01. > :08:07.the judge have to say? Well, they had received only ?10,000, but judge

:08:08. > :08:11.Peter Higgins told them that in the circumstances they had embarked on a

:08:12. > :08:15.course of criminal wrongdoing that he said was sustained, relatively

:08:16. > :08:19.sophisticated and very serious. He told Sanjay Kumar that his trip to

:08:20. > :08:24.India was an elaborate deceht claiming an genuine insurance

:08:25. > :08:28.policies. He said, we saw there was a way of discharging your ddbts and

:08:29. > :08:33.a way of starting a new fin`ncially comfortable life in India. With the

:08:34. > :08:37.latest, Daniel Boettcher, thank you. A group of MPs is calling on the

:08:38. > :08:41.Government to rethink its ddcision to award the Thames Link rahl

:08:42. > :08:45.service to two European countries. They claim that a French firm and a

:08:46. > :08:49.German firm take over the btsy route, hundreds of jobs will be

:08:50. > :08:53.lost, passengers will receive a worse service, and safety whll be

:08:54. > :08:56.put at risk. The Department for Transport has accused them of

:08:57. > :08:59.scaremongering. An inquest has been hearing how a

:09:00. > :09:02.publishing executive from Hertfordshire was shot dead by

:09:03. > :09:07.suspected Somali pirates whhle on holiday in Kenya with his whfe, and

:09:08. > :09:10.his wife kidnapped and held hostage for six months. David Tebbutt from

:09:11. > :09:14.Bishop Stortford was staying with his wife Judith at the Kiwaxu safari

:09:15. > :09:20.park near the Somali border. The coroner recorded a verdict of

:09:21. > :09:23.unlawful killing. Next, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver

:09:24. > :09:27.helped change the way we thhnk about school dinners. Now, one decade on

:09:28. > :09:32.from his campaign, ministers are going even further. From next year,

:09:33. > :09:35.new guidelines for schools hn England come into force which will

:09:36. > :09:39.mean less fried or battered food, and milk back on the agenda. Marc

:09:40. > :09:44.Ashdown has visited one prilary school trying to lead the w`y with

:09:45. > :09:48.healthier school meals. It is an offer the Government is

:09:49. > :09:52.hoping will be too good to refuse, so from next year at other

:09:53. > :09:56.nutritional standards will lean more fruit and veg and less fat `nd salt.

:09:57. > :10:01.It means that the school me`ls they get are more healthy, are t`sty are

:10:02. > :10:04.more enjoyable, and so they will not only get a lot out of that for the

:10:05. > :10:10.health but also for their education as well. Here in south London, they

:10:11. > :10:12.prepare everything freshly, but Government research suggests too

:10:13. > :10:16.many schools are not meeting nutritional standards. This plan

:10:17. > :10:20.aims to set clearer guidelines for example children must eat one or

:10:21. > :10:25.more portions of fruit per day. Bridal battered food cannot be

:10:26. > :10:29.served more than twice a wedk. `` fried or battered. It helps them get

:10:30. > :10:34.through the school day, thehr concentration is better, and it

:10:35. > :10:37.helps them learn about food. Chicken meatballs and a variety of

:10:38. > :10:46.vegetables today, all either made or grown here at the school, and it

:10:47. > :10:50.does seem to be hitting the spot. Healthy food is good for yotr brain,

:10:51. > :10:54.because you can do much mord learning. The best bit is bdcause it

:10:55. > :10:58.is made in the school. And xou helped me get!

:10:59. > :11:09.All this has been a long tile coming, newly ten years since Jamie

:11:10. > :11:17.Oliver's campaign to ban Turkey twizzle twizzlers, and this has been

:11:18. > :11:20.dreamt up by Henry Dimbleby. The old standards work based on a computer

:11:21. > :11:23.program that printed out all your nutrition, creating a restrhction on

:11:24. > :11:28.chefs, and one of the reasons for the standards, we want parents to be

:11:29. > :11:31.able to print them out, and the reason for a simple standard is to

:11:32. > :11:38.allow the kooks the flexibility to be creative with their menus. All

:11:39. > :11:45.schools will have to comply. Anyone who doesn't will fall foul of Ofsted

:11:46. > :11:47.inspectors. A London scientist left serhously

:11:48. > :11:52.brain damage after having to wait an hour and a half for an ambulance is

:11:53. > :11:56.to receive more than ?5 million in compensation. Caren Paterson will

:11:57. > :12:00.require specialist care for the rest of her life after a catalogte of

:12:01. > :12:03.failures by London Ambulancd Service. Katherine Carpenter has

:12:04. > :12:10.more on this and joins us from Islington.

:12:11. > :12:14.Well, back in October 2007, Caren Paterson collapsed at her home in

:12:15. > :12:20.Florence on Hargrave Road. Her boyfriend dialled 999, but for over

:12:21. > :12:25.an hour and a half, the responding Amber Rudd sparked up and w`ited

:12:26. > :12:30.just 100 metres away. `` ambulance parked up. For some unknown reason,

:12:31. > :12:34.her flat was flagged up as ` high`risk address. That meant the

:12:35. > :12:39.ambulance crew had to wait for a police escort, and there silply

:12:40. > :12:46.wasn't one available. All this time, her condition was getting worse and

:12:47. > :12:51.her brain had been starved of oxygen, and she was left br`in

:12:52. > :12:56.damaged, as a lawyer explains. The opportunity was missed to treat

:12:57. > :13:00.Caren quickly, because she had suffered a collapsed, her lhps were

:13:01. > :13:04.turning blue, she was clearly in need of urgent medical attention,

:13:05. > :13:07.and it was a deteriorating situation that needed some immediate

:13:08. > :13:12.intervention. What it did not need was the delay which happened and the

:13:13. > :13:19.catastrophic consequences that flowed from that. London and is

:13:20. > :13:25.admitted it was at fault. Yds, in fact, it has admitted 11 brdaches of

:13:26. > :13:29.duty, including failing to comply with trust policies, a failtre to

:13:30. > :13:33.recognise there was no dangdr at the flat, and failing to recognhse that

:13:34. > :13:38.her condition was life`thre`tening. Today London Ambulance Servhce told

:13:39. > :13:43.us it has changed its poliches surrounding the high risk rdgisters

:13:44. > :13:46.significantly. This is seven years ago. We have made significant

:13:47. > :13:51.changes and improvements in the last seven years, so I accept at the time

:13:52. > :13:56.there were some failings, and we have accepted that and apologised,

:13:57. > :14:01.but I am content that we have made significant improvements and

:14:02. > :14:05.changes. Well, at the time of the incident, Caren Paterson was a

:14:06. > :14:09.genetics scientist at Kings College Hospital. Now she has been left

:14:10. > :14:13.severely brain`damaged, and she will need round`the`clock care for the

:14:14. > :14:17.rest of life. Today her mother said, it is so distressing that all of her

:14:18. > :14:21.aspirations and ambitions h`ve been taken away from her, and shd said

:14:22. > :14:26.she still find it shocking that as her daughter's condition got worse

:14:27. > :14:33.and worse, there was an ambtlance waiting just around the corner.

:14:34. > :14:38.Just how noisy Wood West London be at Heathrow build another rtnway?

:14:39. > :14:40.That is one of the crucial puestion is being decided by the Airports

:14:41. > :14:43.Commission which is looking at options for expanding capachty in

:14:44. > :14:48.the south`east. Today the mdn and women of the commission went to take

:14:49. > :14:48.a look and listen at the current situation in Hounslow for

:14:49. > :15:12.themselves. Tom Edwards joined them. Even parts of the guided totr were

:15:13. > :15:15.drowned out by planes from Heathrow. This is the Government's avhation

:15:16. > :15:20.commission trying to make a recommendation on where to put a new

:15:21. > :15:27.runway. Today they visited ` school next to Heathrow. Teachers here feel

:15:28. > :15:31.this building isn't fit for purpose. We are in classrooms where we have

:15:32. > :15:35.to shut the blinds, we have to stop speaking, the air quality is not

:15:36. > :15:39.very good, and in some of the temperatures just saw. We c`nnot

:15:40. > :15:43.open the windows because of the noise, so consequently we are like

:15:44. > :15:48.in a greenhouse. Many here rely on jobs at the airport, and whhle

:15:49. > :15:55.Heathrow does fund schemes to reduce noise, the council once mord. They

:15:56. > :15:58.should have been a more forthcoming attitude, and we want the ahrport to

:15:59. > :16:05.be a good neighbour, and at the moment it's not delivering on that

:16:06. > :16:09.ethos. That noise will incrdase if Heathrow gets a third runwax.

:16:10. > :16:13.Gatwick and perhaps an estu`ry airport of the other options. Noise,

:16:14. > :16:17.though, would be part of thd assessment. We have got to get the

:16:18. > :16:22.balance right between the economic interests of the many and the

:16:23. > :16:27.environmental and nuisance costs to the few. And I think that is going

:16:28. > :16:28.to be an increasingly important part of any infrastructure debatd in this

:16:29. > :16:33.country. Will you go of any infrastructure debatd in this

:16:34. > :16:38.country. Will you for a third runway? We are not at that point, we

:16:39. > :16:44.have narrowed the options down from 58 to yield three and potentially

:16:45. > :16:49.four, we have done a lot of work, but that is the state of pl`y. The

:16:50. > :16:52.commission acknowledges thex have an extremely difficult task. Any

:16:53. > :17:02.recommendation will be made after the next election. Is Still to come:

:17:03. > :17:09.For a century it's offered Londoners the chance to have their sax.

:17:10. > :17:14.Speakers corner gets a makeover And... What a difference a bit of

:17:15. > :17:17.sunshine makes. The temperature four degrees higher today than ydsterday.

:17:18. > :17:25.We won't see quite so much sunshine through the rest of the week,

:17:26. > :17:30.though. More details later on. So, the cost of buying a hole in the

:17:31. > :17:34.capital has risen nearly 20$ in the past 12 months. That's according to

:17:35. > :17:37.figures published today. So`ring prices are making it more attractive

:17:38. > :17:43.to move out of London for a larger property but with a longer commute

:17:44. > :17:46.and as Chris Rodgers discovdred Ed, there is an increasing amount of

:17:47. > :17:50.help for families planning that move out of the capital.

:17:51. > :17:56.House prices in London have been rising by as much as ?4,500 a week,

:17:57. > :18:00.it is no wonder increasing numbers of families are cashing thehr equity

:18:01. > :18:04.and swapping their flat for a large house in the Home Counties but the

:18:05. > :18:08.map of London's traditional commuter belt is chapging. Take this family,

:18:09. > :18:14.for instance. In April they moved 80 miles out from Wandsworth to

:18:15. > :18:19.Wiltshire. We found a school that we liked and then we found this house.

:18:20. > :18:23.We wanted a bit more space, more garden, we wanted to have fhelds to

:18:24. > :18:28.look out over. Technology is also playing its part. Working from home

:18:29. > :18:32.part`time, takes the sting out of a long commute. I probably wotld have

:18:33. > :18:38.struggled to do that five d`ys a week, just because it is probably

:18:39. > :18:42.that bit further. And, I thhnk, by being able to do what I do `nd have

:18:43. > :18:48.those couple of days at homd, actually I find that that I'm more

:18:49. > :18:50.productive at home than in the office. For James it's an

:18:51. > :18:56.hour`and`a`half's train journey to the capital. I'm not crammed in like

:18:57. > :19:01.a sardine on the Northern Lhne. I get a seat. I can the sit b`ck, read

:19:02. > :19:06.the paper. Life after London is offering online help to Londoners

:19:07. > :19:11.researching the fabulous cotntry piles that their basic Hackney flat

:19:12. > :19:16.could buy them The ideal for people is certainly what we call at home in

:19:17. > :19:20.an hour. It is an hour on a mainline station but beyond that people will

:19:21. > :19:24.go for two hours a four `hotr commute in a day. For lots of

:19:25. > :19:28.people, work is changing, they might be doing that four days a wdek

:19:29. > :19:31.rather than five. I think it is critical to people's sense of

:19:32. > :19:34.well`being. This is a map of affordability, produced by `

:19:35. > :19:38.transport analyst who has added the cost of a season ticket to dvery

:19:39. > :19:43.station to the average monthly cost of a mortgage. The areas coloured

:19:44. > :19:49.red are the most expensive. They are the more traditional commutdr belts

:19:50. > :19:53.such as Cobham which costs `n average of ?4,556 a month and

:20:08. > :20:13.Folkestone. But the green areas on that map in the distant futtre could

:20:14. > :20:17.become red as demand on housing and train journeys increases, so koted

:20:18. > :20:24.prices. Dosh so could the prices.

:20:25. > :20:30.It's the latest Olympic vente to open its doors to the public. The

:20:31. > :20:34.new Lea Valley hockey and tdnnis centre will be a base for both elite

:20:35. > :20:38.athletes and the local commtnity. Our reporter has been looking around

:20:39. > :20:43.and joins us from somewhere in the distance there.

:20:44. > :20:46.Hello Sara. I'm here, stood on one of two international standard hockey

:20:47. > :20:52.pitches. Note the patriotic colour. This is now the home of England

:20:53. > :20:55.Hockey where they will play most of their major games. There ard also

:20:56. > :21:00.six outdoor tennis courts and four indoor but this site is tow`rds the

:21:01. > :21:04.north of the Queen skas Elizabeth Olympic Park. During the Gales it

:21:05. > :21:09.all looked very different. This is how most of us remelber the

:21:10. > :21:17.London 2012 hockey venue. COMMENTATOR: Great Britain have won

:21:18. > :21:22.the bronze medals. The Riverbank arena was temporary but hockey's

:21:23. > :21:29.story in east London was fadr from over. Plans were already on the

:21:30. > :21:34.site, used in the Paralympics, for the tennis, call Eton Manor. We

:21:35. > :21:39.worked close which with the govern og bod yans local authoritids to see

:21:40. > :21:42.what could be here in the long`term and to make sure we designed into

:21:43. > :21:45.the venues, the ability to provide commute and elite provision here

:21:46. > :21:50.years after the game. ?30 mhllion and two years later, the Le` Valley

:21:51. > :21:53.hockey and tennis centre is open and England Hockey have their vdry own

:21:54. > :21:57.Wembley. This is our show phece if you like. This is where we would

:21:58. > :22:01.come, where we want our crowd to come, our supporters to comd and

:22:02. > :22:06.cheer us on and we want this to be our home and a successful one.

:22:07. > :22:10.England hockey have already won the right to host four internathonal

:22:11. > :22:15.tournaments at the venue, whth the seating able to expand from 3,0 0 it

:22:16. > :22:22.15,000. But the new facilithes aren't just for elite athletes. It

:22:23. > :22:26.is also for the community. Here at Wapping Hockey Club t can't fit fast

:22:27. > :22:30.enough. You can fit five gales on a Saturday. We need to host ehght or

:22:31. > :22:33.nine. We are having to do that across three sites in different

:22:34. > :22:39.locations from our clubhousd. The move to the National Stadiul is just

:22:40. > :22:43.wonderful. At a time when all tennis eyes turn to Wimbledon, thehr

:22:44. > :22:48.players are just as pleased with the new facilities These courts are

:22:49. > :22:52.fantastic, it is a world cl`ss facility. To have one here hn London

:22:53. > :22:58.is awesome. Another legacy venue open and East End's sporting

:22:59. > :23:03.portfolio is almost completd. Well, the last piece of that Olympic

:23:04. > :23:08.Park puzzle will be when thd stadium re`opens in 2016 as West Hal's new

:23:09. > :23:14.ground. Until then, if you want to come along to this venue, ?4 to ?5

:23:15. > :23:20.for a hockey session, anywhdre between ?5 to ?25 for tennis but if

:23:21. > :23:23.you come along this Saturdax, it is free. Saturday it is then. Thank you

:23:24. > :23:27.very much. It's long`been the place whdre on a

:23:28. > :23:29.Sunday morning anyone can stand up and have their say on whatever

:23:30. > :23:34.subject they choose. Speakers' corner in Hyde Park has hosted

:23:35. > :23:39.famous figures such as Karl Marx and George Orwell. Now it is about to

:23:40. > :23:43.reopen after a refurbishment. Graham Satchell has been having a

:23:44. > :23:48.look. This part of London h`s been associated with free speech for

:23:49. > :23:54.almost 1,000 years. It was the site of the first public executions and

:23:55. > :23:59.massive crowds would gather to hear the condemned man's final words

:24:00. > :24:04.Speakers corner has been thd site of mass demonstrations and big speeches

:24:05. > :24:08.ever since. What we have trhed to do is make it as welcoming as possible.

:24:09. > :24:13.The royal Parks Authority h`s now very vated the whole area. This new

:24:14. > :24:18.`` has now renovated the whole area. This new entrance will be opening on

:24:19. > :24:22.Thursday. We have designed those to look like mega phones so it

:24:23. > :24:30.symbolises freedom of speech. Each one is a mega phone. Yes. It has

:24:31. > :24:37.seen famous orators like Marx and George Orwell and this is Tony Benn

:24:38. > :24:43.reading extracts from Spy skas catcher... Ancient democrathc

:24:44. > :24:47.rights. Anyone can get up and speak. Anarchists, comedian, relighous

:24:48. > :24:53.zealots. You can say nearly everything. Richard has been coming

:24:54. > :24:58.here for more than 50 years. It is particularly important n 2004, when

:24:59. > :25:05.most exchange of opinions t`ke place on the internet and Facebooks,

:25:06. > :25:09.Speakers's Corner is still ` live exchange of opinions. If yot insult

:25:10. > :25:15.somebody, somebody in the atdience might either shout you down or punch

:25:16. > :25:18.you on the nose. Funny, challenging at times owedous. The most hmportant

:25:19. > :25:22.thing about the speech here, it remains free.

:25:23. > :25:27.Graham Satchell with that rdport. The weather has frightened tp even

:25:28. > :25:33.more today. Let's get the forecast with Wendy who is here. Hello.

:25:34. > :25:37.It has brightened up. A beattiful day. What a difference the sunshine

:25:38. > :25:40.has made. We got to 22 todax and only 18 yesterday. Through the

:25:41. > :25:44.middle part of this week thdre are going to be rather more clotdy skies

:25:45. > :25:49.to look forward to. We will see the return of the sunshine by the

:25:50. > :25:52.weekend. Certainly today, bdautiful blue skies. You can see that on the

:25:53. > :25:56.satellite. This is the cloud sinking across us as we go through tonight

:25:57. > :26:00.and it'll stick around throtgh the day top of it is associated with a

:26:01. > :26:05.cold front which might introdues one or two spots of rain tomorrow

:26:06. > :26:07.morning. Something to be aw`re of if you are commuting to work. That

:26:08. > :26:12.clears through and should brighten up as we go through the aftdrnoon.

:26:13. > :26:16.So, for this evening, enjoy the hazy sunshine while it lasts. Thdre will

:26:17. > :26:20.be the cloud that pours in from the north as we go through the night.

:26:21. > :26:23.Tale turn misty, muggy and lurky, I think, by the early hours of the

:26:24. > :26:27.morning. With www. That higher humidity there is a chance the cloud

:26:28. > :26:29.will produce one or two spots of rain. All of that meaning

:26:30. > :26:34.temperatures won't fall much lower than maybe 12, 13, maybe 14. Through

:26:35. > :26:40.tomorrow morning, bits and pieces of rain around. Grab that brolly before

:26:41. > :26:44.you head out just in case. Before the end of the morning we whll bee

:26:45. > :26:46.see that clear away with sunny spells breaking through as we go

:26:47. > :26:51.through the afternoon. A slow improvement to the day. Temperatures

:26:52. > :26:55.reaching 19 to 22. In those sunny spells, I should think it'll feel

:26:56. > :26:58.pleasant enough. On the outlook we will have rather more cloud, as we

:26:59. > :27:02.go through the week. Again on Thursday, some cloud will break up

:27:03. > :27:05.at times to give us some sunny spells, more particularly in the

:27:06. > :27:09.morning and feeling muggy and warm into the afternoon, we have a cold

:27:10. > :27:12.front that is going to go through later on in the day which could

:27:13. > :27:15.introduce one or two showers here and there. Once that has gone

:27:16. > :27:19.through on Friday, it'll fedl a little fresher with temperatures

:27:20. > :27:22.dipping to about 21 Celsius underneath the cloud but it will be

:27:23. > :27:26.dry. Through the weekend, it looks like we'll have a return to the

:27:27. > :27:28.rather more sunny skies and temperatures aren't looking too bad

:27:29. > :27:33.at all. Thank you very much.

:27:34. > :27:38.That's it for now. More, of course, on the day's stories on our website

:27:39. > :27:42.and I will be back with our late news. From all of us on the team.

:27:43. > :27:49.Thank you for watching and have a lovely evening. Goodbye.
