That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me - and | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Tonight on BBC London News: Calls for more regulation | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
of London's rental market to help families combat the problems | :00:14. | :00:14. | |
of renting a home. You have very little inform`tion as | :00:15. | :00:23. | |
a tenant, as if no one is there to look after your interests and you | :00:24. | :00:24. | |
are in the middle of a big racket. of renting a home. | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
But can the system be reforled? We hear from tenants and landlords. | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
Also tonight: A rail company operating in Essex | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
and east London becomes the first in the country to offer automatic | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
compensation for all late trains. A former British number one, | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
Greg Rusedski, teaches London schoolchildren how to serve an ace. | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
And 15 years on Tracey Emin's bed goes up for auction. | :00:45. | :01:02. | |
Good evening and welcome to the programmd. | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
I'm Chris Rogers. Mattresses black with mould, | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
kitchens infested with rats and houses without a roof ` just some | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
of the many horror stories from families paying rocketing rdnts | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
There are calls tonight for better protection for f`milies | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
who don't own their own homd. A group of MPs and peers ard | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
demanding a complete overhatl of the way the industry is run, including | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
nationwide bans for rogue l`ndlords. Alex Bushill reports. | :01:28. | :01:35. | |
Hannah has a family and a good job but says she hasn't a hope of | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
finding a rental property around Crystal Palace for a reason`ble | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
rent. What's more, she says, when you rent you are at the mercy of the | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
market. It is expensive, underregulated, you have very little | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
information as a tenant. It feels no one is looking after your interests | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
and you are in the middle of one big racket. She has launched a website | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
for tenants to review landlords and warn others of rogue ones. H have | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
bought pairs of shoes and bden able to do greater judicial legend than | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
when I have rented a house. It is when I have rented a house. It is | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
already a success, with stories of bedrooms black with mould, kitchens | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
with rats, and landlords who could not care less. Properties lhke this | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
one, rented out with no roof, ceilings or Windows. A mattress | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
behind a cooker makes this the bedroom. The landlord was fhned | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
?5,000 and can go on to rent properties again. She says that has | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
to change, and now Parliamentary report agrees. In their revhew | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
today, MPs called for incre`sed penalties for rogue landlords, | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
including fines and banning orders. including fines and banning orders. | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
To help, they want a nation`l register, and longer tenancx | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
agreements to help tenants from being evicted. 2 million of us are | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
now renting in the capital, nearly double the Number Ten years ago And | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
a charity says one in 20 of those tenants complains of revengd | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
eviction, when they are thrown out by their landlord merely for | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
complaining about the state of their home. Landlord associations have | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
given the report a cautious welcome, but with one caveat. | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
Inevitably, if there is a cost on business, and renting is a | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
business, the costs will be passed to the consumer through price. | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
Others argue that the public purse will benefit from better regulation. | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
The taxpayer gets a great ddal out of this, because with this | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
enforcement, you get rid of the worst landlords who are causing | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
problems. At the moment, at the end of a private sector tenancy, that is | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
the number one cause of homelessness. Who pays for | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
homelessness? The taxpayer. He wants to see all of the recommend`tions | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
enshrined in law, but the rdview carries no legal weight and it more | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
of a manifesto for change. The government warned against stranding | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
the sector with too much red tape. No one would welcome prices being | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
driven up further by the cost of another layer of regulation if it is | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
not enforceable. Alex Bushill reports. | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
Lots more to come, including: The London college accused | :04:15. | :04:15. | |
by the Government of allowing overseas students to | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
work illegally, demands an `pology. Rail passengers | :04:18. | :04:28. | |
in south Essex will be the first in the country to receive attomatic | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
compensation if a train is late by more than two minutes. | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
C2C, which already runs the Essex Thameside route, has been awarded | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
the franchise for another 14 years. But the compensation scheme | :04:41. | :04:41. | |
won't begin immediately. Tom Edwards reports. | :04:42. | :04:55. | |
It was once known as the misery line but the London to Southend route has | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
improved and today the currdnt operator, C2C was rewarded with a 15 | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
year franchise. I have been travelling on them for 13 ydars | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
They have not up `` they have upgraded the trains and it has all | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
been OK. It is good news. I remember the old days and they are so much | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
better. Punctuality is good. Over 15 years, the government will get 2 | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
billion in franchise payments. It is claimed passengers will also get | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
?160 million in improvements, including free Wi`Fi. Over the life | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
of the franchise, 17 new tr`ins will provide something like 25,000 new | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
seats over the morning peak, which is great news for people at that | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
time of day. A key part of the franchise is a new compensation | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
scheme. If you have a smart card, you will get automatic compdnsation | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
if your train is more than two minutes late. It is about 3p per | :05:59. | :06:06. | |
minute. It will not be introduced until 2016, but it could have | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
reverberations right across the industry. As is the case on other | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
operators, travellers will `lso get the full refund after a del`y of one | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
hour. Most commuters will still think affairs are too high, but | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
passenger groups have welcoled automatic compensation. C2C has a | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
pretty good level of punctu`lity. It has problem days, like everxbody, | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
but this is almost putting xour money where your mouth is. We are | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
reliable and will back it whth a financial promise. Unions s`y the | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
franchise renewal is too cosy, but local MPs have welcomed it. This may | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
be a relatively small franchise but some of the changes here cotld | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
influence other operators to follow suit. | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
Tom Edwards reports. One of the colleges accused | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
of allowing foreign students to work illegally is asking | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
for an apology from the Govdrnment. The London School of Business | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
and Finance is one of 57 private colleges banndd | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
from sponsoring immigrants wanting to study in the UK. | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
A Home Office inquiry claimdd 2 9 of its foreign students abused | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
the visa system. But the college has hit back, | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
claiming the Government got the facts wrong. | :07:16. | :07:16. | |
Marc Ashdown reports. The London School of business and | :07:17. | :07:28. | |
finance was one of 57 colleges to have its right to sponsor overseas | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
students suspended. The concern was that some students appeared to be | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
working illegally. Overseas students at privately funded further | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
education colleges are not `llowed to work at all, yet one college the | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
London School of business and finance, has 219 foreign sttdents | :07:43. | :07:51. | |
who worked and paid tax last year. The college said immigration | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
officials only raised questhons over the status of 213 of their | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
students. A review of their records, they say, shows that 198 held a | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
valid Visa to work. 13 had left the college before starting paid work, | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
and two students never even attended the college at all. The college | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
called in a consultant to rdview their records. He advised an | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
external audit but says the government appears to have got it | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
wrong. I have to say that they do appear to be quite wrong in saying | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
that students at a private college cannot have a right to work. And in | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
the case of this school, those results show, which does not show `` | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
surprise me at all, that thdy do have over 200 students who have | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
working rights. The college is aware of the potential damage to hts | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
reputation so they are callhng on the Minister to clarify this as soon | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
as possible, and they say an apology would be appropriate, too. The main | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
issue at these colleges, uncovered by the BBC, was widespread cheating | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
on English exams to obtain student visas. As many as 50,000 tests have | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
been queried. Tonight, the Home Office not only refused to back down | :09:08. | :09:08. | |
but told us: Immigration is always a tricky | :09:09. | :09:29. | |
subject, but as this collegd has about 38,000 students worldwide the | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
potential damage is clear. A man has been sentenced for killing | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
a sex worker in Ilford last October. Farooq Shah was given a lifd | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
sentence and will serve a mhnimum of 29 years. The 24`year`old woman from | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
Romanian had only been in the UK a few weeks and was the mother of a | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
six`year`old girl. Farooq Shah was sentenced for an additional six | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
years to be served concurrently for a knife`point robbery on thd same | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
night. The amphibious Duck Tour bo`ts will | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
be back on the Thames month `` months after a fire caused services | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
to be suspended. 31 people were rescued when one caught fird in | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
September, with some people jumping into the river to escape thd flames. | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
All of them were safely rescued The Maritime and coastguard agency have | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
given two of the tourist vehicles safety clearance for an initial | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
three month period. Still to come: | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
15 years after it first caused controversy, Tracy M in's bdd goes | :10:31. | :10:31. | |
up for sale. The first thing is to stand still. | :10:32. | :10:41. | |
And the schoolchildren learning about World War I and the BBC road | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
show in Woolwich. `` at the BBC road show. | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
Next, how do you get more ghrls choosing science subjects at school? | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
It is a question the Lord M`yor of London wants to tackle. As only the | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
second female Lord Mayor in 825 years, she is calling for bdtter | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
diversity across the board `nd says the country will be poorer hf girls | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
are not encouraged into technology, engineering and maths `based | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
careers. A different way of looking `t | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
science. 513 and 14`year`olds were invited to the Guildhall in the City | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
of London today. The aim is to get more girls choosing science at | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
school. At the moment only 20% of A`level physics students ard girls. | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
I think because they have bden told it is a thing for boys. Maybe they | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
have been put off because it is more of a male thing. Many subjects are | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
considered for boys, and many for girls. They hope this will change | :11:54. | :12:01. | |
that, a showcase of over 100 careers in science, technology, enghneering | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
and maths. You do not push ` particular point but you make sure | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
the room represents what yot want science to feel like for thdm, very | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
welcoming, opening to everybody lots of girls and they can come and | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
join us. A message shared bx the Lord Mayor of London, only the | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
second woman to have a job hn over 800 years. She is challenging | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
business to do more to tackle the gender gap in science waste jobs. | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
You are missing out on half your talent. This is the stuff of the | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
future, where the innovation and a game changing, doing more whth less, | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
which is absolutely what we need. It is amazing. Doctor Helen is a | :12:42. | :12:49. | |
physicist and oceanographer at University College London, `s well | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
as being a BBC science presdnter. Ten years ago, when asked what I did | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
and I said I was a physicist, people would say, I hated physics `t | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
school. And now they say, mx niece or my nephew is into astronomy, | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
biology. I think the change is happening. I did not know h`lf of | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
these jobs existed. It is interesting. I was shocked by | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
technical theatre, because H did not think it was related to scidnce For | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
so long, science has seemed a world full of men. They hope a new | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
generation is helping to ch`nge that. | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
It is one of the most famous and perhaps bizarre pieces from the | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
Young British artistss' macro movement. As she was reunitdd with | :13:37. | :13:44. | |
her work, the artist fears no gallery here can afford it. A | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
warning that this report st`rts with flash photography. | :13:49. | :13:55. | |
Interest in this 16`year`old bed certainly has not died down. It was | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
created in a council flat in Waterloo in 1998. Now it is going up | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
for auction and is expected to fetch between ?800,000, and ?1.2 lillion. | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
She is worried that no galldries in this country can afford it. Even | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
though I don't own it, and Charles Saatchi does at present, I still | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
feel it is mine because it hs in the UK and I can touch it, see ht, | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
install it. I feel if it gods a long way away it will be difficult for | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
me. The auction house says ht is quite likely to go overseas. Her | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
profile has grown so dramathcally in the last 15 years, globally, that | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
this could go anywhere. I think any museum would be delighted to have | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
this work. Visitor numbers `lone would be extraordinary. It was short | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
listed for the Turner prize in 999. It sparked a lot of debate over | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
contemporary art, polarising opinion over what constitutes art and what | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
does not. Despite not winning the Turner prize, many say its hnfluence | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
in the art world in Jaws, including at this gallery which promotes young | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
artists. It has shown that ht is important to get people talking | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
important to show that it is not just about the painting, or what one | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
would consider typical artwork. It is to create provoking thoughts to | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
make people think about things. She is proud to have made so many think | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
about her bed, but her life has moved on. I feel attached to it | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
emotionally. It is like a self`portrait or a time capsule | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
Everything to do with that bed, I am not part of. I don't smoke. This is | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
16 years ago. It is like capturing a piece of history, but not about me | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
but about a rite of passage in someone's life, how someone's life | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
has changed. I think that is why people identify with it. It will be | :15:53. | :15:54. | |
auctioned next Tuesday. Once again all eyes turn to Centre | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
Court at SW19 as Andy Murrax continues his defence | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
of his Wimbledon Crown. Our sports reporter Sara Orchard is | :16:03. | :16:04. | |
there now. What's the latest? Not much pressure on Mr Murray? | :16:05. | :16:17. | |
Welcome to a very windy Wimbledon. Take a look at the crowd th`t is | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
gathered over on what is called Murray Mount. They have waited all | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
day for this moment. They h`ve risked showers which they h`ve | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
mainly avoided but they havd been rewarded. Right now, on Centre | :16:31. | :16:38. | |
Court, Andy Murray has brokdn the Spaniard, the number 27 seed. He is | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
15`0 up in the fourth game of that first set. I believe you have been | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
spending a bit of time todax with a former Wimbledon favourite? Yes | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
that's right. As much as Andy Murray is the king of Wimbledon, SW19 used | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
to be all about Tim Henman `nd Greg Rusedski. I met up with Greg earlier | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
today. He's settled down to life in London with his wife and two | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
children. He's turned his attentions to coaching. He was spreading the | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
tennis word earlier at a school in Hampstead. There was a time in | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
British tennis when Centre Court didn't have a roof and Greg Rusedski | :17:22. | :17:30. | |
was British number one. Forler players often emerge during the | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
Wimbledon fortnight, with the purpose of persuading us all to pick | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
up a racket. Greg was working his magic this morning. You ready? Yes. | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
We can do better than that! Are we ready to play tennis? YES! We are | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
trying to encourage kids to play tennis at the moment. David Lloyd | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
Leisure has free tennis for kids for the month of June and July. | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
Following his retirement, hd's now focussing on coaching, in p`rticular | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
he's taken on the British ntmber six with hopes of helping him break into | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
the top 100. He is trying to bring his experience. He's been on the | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
Tour, done very well. It's been a short period, so it is trying to | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
find the balance. He's been good. I have been enjoying working with him. | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
I have the experience and hd needs to listen to my advice. If he agrees | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
or disagrees, with have those discussions. If he doesn't keep to | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
those standards, it won't work out. Perhaps a warning to Kyle to keep | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
inside the lines. As Andy Mtrray remains the only man to go further | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
than the first round this ydar, accusations of our young talent | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
being spoilt have surfaced `nd Greg Rusedski expects total commhtment. | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
My view is simple. If you are getting support from the Federation | :18:58. | :19:05. | |
and you are not listening to your coach, go find yourself elsdwhere. | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
If you are in the system, you have to give 110% every day. For the | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
schoolchildren today, only fun was on the agenda and that went down | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
really rather well. Greg was visiting eight schools | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
across London today. So not a bad shift for someone who is now 40 We | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
are going to have a gear ch`nge now because we are going to talk about | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
the Tour de France. We are ten days away from Stage 3 roaring through | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
London's streets. Unfortunately we have had a bit of disappointing news | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
for London's cycling fans. The 012 Tour de France champion Bradley | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
Wiggins will not be competing in this year's Tour. He has decided he | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
will focus on the Commonwealth Games which starts next month where he | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
will be returning to the tr`ck. Sad news there. However, staying with | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
major sporting events ` next year is the 2015 Rugby World Cup and there | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
will be three London venues used to host matches. There is Wembley, the | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
Olympic Stadium and Twickenham. Once again, the search is on for | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
volunteers to help entertain and guide fans when they arrive. Good | :20:22. | :20:32. | |
morning, guys. Forget Jessica Ennis and Mo Farah, the volunteers were | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
the real stars of London 2002 for many. Next September, the Olympic | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
Stadium will be one of the venues for the Rugby World Cup and so the | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
organisers are hoping to harness that enthusiasm once again. There | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
were so many volunteers in that and we managed to convey a real sense of | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
excitement and what we are looking to do here is to replicate that when | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
the Rugby World Cup takes place here in September 2015. They had a great | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
time. Thousands of our residents volunteered and made it a | :21:07. | :21:13. | |
spectacular event. While thdse candidates are being intervhewed for | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
roles on the Olympic Park, there will be similar opportunitids at | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
Wembley and Twickenham, too. And no doubt for all of them it won't hurt | :21:22. | :21:29. | |
to be game for a laugh! I'm Matt. I'm Mary... I'm Roger... I have done | :21:30. | :21:40. | |
the UEFA Champions League Fhnal in Wembley. There's a lot you can do in | :21:41. | :21:49. | |
London. Volunteering is an hmportant part of making big events lhke this | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
work. We have seen with the Olympics where you had loads of people at the | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
stations, guiding people around London. It was really great. The | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
real true Londoner are all enthusiastic and given the | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
opportunity, they will shind. They and thousands of others will learn | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
early next year if they havd become Rugby World Cup volunteers. Smile, | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
please! Their task then ` to become the latest Londoners to makd the | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
world's sports fans smile. Good luck to everyone who has applied and a | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
quick update from Centre Cotrt. Andy Murray leads that first set 3`2 | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
As part of the centenary commemorations of the First World | :22:38. | :22:39. | |
War, the BBC, in conjunction with the Imperial War Museum, is staging | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
a nationwide roadshow, to ghve people hands on experience, of what | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
It's a chance for people to reflect on the sacrifice of those | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
This weekend, the roadshow will be at The Royal | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
Wendy Hurrell has been therd for a sneak preview. | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
It was a time almost inconcdivable to these young people, filing in to | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
see exhibits and demonstrathons today. Morse code, not mobile phone. | :23:09. | :23:22. | |
Carrier pigeons rather than e`mail. But it's 6.50pm 00 100 years on for | :23:23. | :23:37. | |
this generation to reflect. There were 800,000 men that were consigned | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
to duty in the trenches frol here because this was the focus of the | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
Royal Artillery. This was, hn the end, sold as the war to end all | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
wars. Of course, it didn't. It hasn't ended all wars. So as well as | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
some fun, there are reminders this was how messages were communicated. | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
Can you hear it? A science lesson about the enormous advances in | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
hygiene and medicine, gained the hard way from the vast numbdrs of | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
injuries and infections. Tolorrow is also about commemorating thhs | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
extraordinary event in our history. Not just the big battles, the | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
frontline, the impact it had on us all and the local stories. Dven | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
those of your own family. Come down, bring the name of the regimdnt or | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
the military unit and the sdrvice number, we will try and find them. | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
This is about all their indhvidual stories. It is about taking them | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
from being more than names on lists and names on War Memorials, to be | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
people that we can identify with. It would have been like frightdning to | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
know one of my family members were out fighting for their lives. Wars | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
were really serious. I never knew what World War One was about, but | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
learning about World War Ond is really interesting and fun. Do what | :24:59. | :25:05. | |
you are told! The BBC World War At Home drill starts at 11.00al | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
tomorrow morning. Perhaps a chance to hear your own family stories | :25:10. | :25:11. | |
tapped out from the past. To find out more about our World War | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
One At Home Live Event in Woolwich go to our website and Robert Elms of | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
BBC London 94.9 will be bro`dcasting his show live from there | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
from ten o'clock tomorrow morning. It is looking OK, Chris. Gl`stonbury | :25:24. | :25:40. | |
laid claim to all the rain today. There was none left for Wimbledon. I | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
saw three spots at 5.00pm this afternoon! If we take a look at the | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
forecast, we have seen a few showers around today across Berkshire, | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire and one or two of those will | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
continue through into this dvening. Overnight, it will become dry, the | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
showers will die away. Rural spots, down into single figures. Btt we | :26:04. | :26:12. | |
have still got weather warnhngs in force from the Met Office for | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
tomorrow's heavy downpours. We are expecting some big showers to | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
develop once again, so if wd take a look at the details for tomorrow. | :26:21. | :26:31. | |
Temperatures will start to rise and showers will start to break out as a | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
result. There could be one or two interruptions here at Wimblddon | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
Temperatures in amongst all the showers getting up to 18 to 20 | :26:39. | :26:46. | |
degrees. So, looking ahead ` dodge the showers on Saturday and you | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
should be OK by Sunday. A lot of dry weather around. Some good stnny | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
spells coming through as well. A bit of a cool northerly breeze on Sunday | :26:56. | :27:02. | |
will make its presence felt. For Wimbledon, next week, the sdcond | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
week, it is looking good. Fhne on rest day, fine weather conthnuing | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
through into Monday and Tuesday with temperatures picking up agahn. So | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
hopefully some good weather for Andy Murray. | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
EU leaders confirm the nomination of Jean`Claude Juncker as Etropean | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
Commission President ` 26 countries back him ` with only Hungarx joining | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
That's it. I'll be back latdr during the Ten O'Clock News, | :27:31. | :27:38. | |
but for now from everyone on the team have a lovely evening. | :27:39. | :27:42. |
