With are back with the late news at ten past 11.

:00:00.:00:13.

This is BBC London News with me Asad Ahmad.

:00:14.:00:21.

There have been demonstrates to cuts to the NHS which protestors claim

:00:22.:00:31.

could lead. It means a number of surgeries in places like East London

:00:32.:00:37.

could go. The founding fathers of the welfare

:00:38.:00:41.

state today would be turning in their graves. These protestors are

:00:42.:00:45.

angry, that over the next seven year, a special grant for GP

:00:46.:00:50.

surgeries in deprived areas called the minimum practise income

:00:51.:00:54.

guarantee is being phased out. For this practise in Whitechapel

:00:55.:00:58.

that means the loss of ?150,000 a year, about 10% of its budget.

:00:59.:01:03.

We are seeing already there the impact of the cuts in funding, for

:01:04.:01:09.

example Saturday clinic, we used to have two doctors and one nurse, now,

:01:10.:01:15.

we have only one doctor available. But really these cuts in funding

:01:16.:01:21.

will mean there will be more and more people attending A

:01:22.:01:25.

departments. While the Government insists most GP practises will

:01:26.:01:28.

benefit as a result of the changing in the funding, and in a statement

:01:29.:01:33.

NHS England says "We understand the challenges that some London GPs are

:01:34.:01:38.

facing, and are considering what arrangementment might be put in

:01:39.:01:40.

place to support those affected." arrangementment might be put in

:01:41.:01:43.

place to support those affected " We place to support those affected." We

:01:44.:01:46.

have had vague remarks but not concrete action n the meantime my

:01:47.:01:49.

constituents are very worried about what it means for them, whether they

:01:50.:01:53.

are going to be able to go to their local GP surgery. Those constituents

:01:54.:01:58.

include Danny, who has many health issues. You build up a rapport with

:01:59.:02:04.

your surgery you have known for years and you learn to trust them.

:02:05.:02:09.

The thing is you lose that relationship, when you move

:02:10.:02:13.

surgeries. They are calling on the Health Secretary to rethink the

:02:14.:02:17.

budget cut, otherwise they say patient services in this part of

:02:18.:02:24.

London will soon be in chaos. So it is finals weekend at

:02:25.:02:28.

Wimbledon. Many traditions still exist in the tournament, like

:02:29.:02:31.

strawberries and cream, but technology is transforming the game.

:02:32.:02:36.

This year, a series of cutting-edge computers have been trialled in SW19

:02:37.:02:42.

including one that measures a player's aggression.

:02:43.:02:48.

While Petra Kvitova was winning her second title, watching every shot

:02:49.:02:52.

from a nearby room called the bunker, was a bank of high tech

:02:53.:02:57.

computers which has become a crucial part of the Championships. They

:02:58.:03:00.

collect a mind-boggling amount of data, which has become very much

:03:01.:03:05.

part of today's game. Federer backhand drive.

:03:06.:03:09.

As well as Hawk-Eye, which we are used to, this year, a player's

:03:10.:03:14.

aggression is also being monitored, in new trials. We looked at the

:03:15.:03:17.

speed of the shot, we have looked at where does it bounce, how log close

:03:18.:03:21.

to the line, how far does the player have to move and where do they end

:03:22.:03:27.

up hitting the ball? If If you combine those things you can

:03:28.:03:32.

quantify and aggressive shot. Data from the bunker can be screened to

:03:33.:03:37.

smartphones making it possible for always to be umpires. It is crucial

:03:38.:03:41.

for the world's top tennis players to measure their own performance. We

:03:42.:03:46.

can identify the patterns in player's style when they win. So for

:03:47.:03:51.

a particular head-to-head we can see what are the three things they need

:03:52.:03:55.

to do to win. We can track that in real time. Don't think it stops

:03:56.:04:01.

there. Wearable technology is being developed, as is computerised

:04:02.:04:06.

racquet technology. It might be enough to encourage the next British

:04:07.:04:09.

Wimbledon champion. Buses have been on the streets of

:04:10.:04:14.

London for over 160 years and in all that time passengers have always

:04:15.:04:19.

been able to pay their fare in cash. But not from tonight. Scenes like

:04:20.:04:23.

this will be a thing of the past as the buses go completely cashless

:04:24.:04:28.

from tomorrow morning. You will need a prepaid ticket, concessionary

:04:29.:04:32.

ticket, contactless payment card or Oyster cards to travel.

:04:33.:04:36.

Now the weather. It should be largely dry, but rain will move

:04:37.:04:40.

across London tomorrow morning, should have passed by the early

:04:41.:04:44.

afternoon, leaving a dry day with the odd chance of a light shower in

:04:45.:04:47.

place, the temperature will be similar to today, round 22 Celsius.

:04:48.:04:51.

That is it for now. There is more on the website at the usual address,

:04:52.:04:55.

but for now, on behalf of everyone on the BBC London weekend team, have

:04:56.:04:57.

a very good evening. Good evening. It looks like for most

:04:58.:05:14.

of us the weather will be fairly similar to what we saw today. The

:05:15.:05:19.

broad themes throughout this weekend, sunny spells and scattering

:05:20.:05:22.

of showers, but not much evening sunshine round, I have to say s

:05:23.:05:26.

across south-east England, and the cloud here thick enough to give

:05:27.:05:29.

outbreaks of rains overnight. But otherwise, many of the showers

:05:30.:05:35.

tending to die away, clear spells developing in northern England,

:05:36.:05:41.

through Scotland, temperatures here in a few spots dipping into single
