Tonight on BBC London News: One we join the BBC's news | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Polluting vehicles could pay ten pounds more on top of the congestion | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
charge to enter Central London as part of the Mayor's plans | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
for a low emission zone. It is right that the mayor should target diesel | :00:14. | :00:25. | |
vehicles, but the zone is too small, to cheap and it is coming too late | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
for London. We ask | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
if the mayor's plans will work. The Mayor of Tower Hamlet's fails to | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
stop a legal challenge which could Should lorries be banned | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
from London's roads if certain Transport | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
for London says they should. The campaign to save allotments | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
in Watford from being built on goes We need to keep these sites, improve | :00:44. | :01:01. | |
them and make them the community asset that it should be. | :01:02. | :01:12. | |
Good evening and welcome to the programme. | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
People who use polluting vehicles could have to pay more to drive | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
It's part of the Mayor's plans for an ultra low emission zone. | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
Motorists whose cars don't meet European emissions standards would | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
have to pay ten pounds on top of the congestion charge. | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
But the Mayor's critics say it's too little, too late. | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
Our Transport Correspondent Tom Edwards reports. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
London has some of the worst air quality in Europe killing thousands | :01:38. | :01:45. | |
prematurely every year, and a lot of the pollution now comes from diesel | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
vehicles. Part of an attempt to clear it up, it could now cost ?10 | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
for all but the cleanest vehicles to enter central London. I think it is | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
too much. You are going to get squeezed whether you buy petrol, | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
diesel, a hybrid, you have got to get used to being done over I | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
guess. Is pollution and issue? Yes, we are concerned about it. Their | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
quality in the capital is coming under increasing scrutiny. In fact | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
the ultralow emission zone, which is what this scheme is called, was | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
launched one year ago, and it will cover central London. Only zero or | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
low emission vehicles can enter without paying. When the Mayor | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
launched this, he said the plan was to ensure all vehicles in central | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
London would be zero or low emission. Today it has emerged that | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
whatever you are driving, you can still pay to get into the congestion | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
charging zone. Critics say he has backtracked. We don't think there | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
will be many people whose cars are not in compliance. There will be | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
some diesel cars that people want to drive into the centre of town but by | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
2020 didn't comply, it is true that if they want to continue to use | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
those old polluting cars in the centre of town they will face an | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
extra charge. Campaigners want a complete ban of diesel vehicles and | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
save the zone is too little and too late. It is right that the mayor | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
should target diesel vehicles as a major public health concern, but the | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
zone is too small, too cheap and coming too late. The zone would be | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
subject to public consultation. Any extra charge would come down to the | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
mayor at the time. Other cities are watching closely as policies start | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
to move away from diesel engines. Let's speak to Tom who is outside | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
City Hall ahead of a speech tonight. Yes, he will make a speech | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
in about half an hour. I have read parts of it already and it could be | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
read as being contentious, certainly very punchy. He is saying things | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
like the ultralow emission zones means that by 2020 they will hit two | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
thirds of their pollution targets. However, he once Westminster, just | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
down the river, and the EU to do more ` he wants them to step up to | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
the plate to do more to tackle air pollution. Air pollution. | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
Air`quality campaigners I'm sure will see that as rhetoric. What they | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
want really is more action. Lots more to come | :04:37. | :05:13. | |
including new plans to use empty garages and over`grown car parks to | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
help solve London's housing crisis. The Mayor of Tower Hamlets ` Lutfur | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
Rahman ` is facing a full inquiry Today, High Court judges rejected | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
his attempt to throw out a legal challenge, which has been brought | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
by some of his political opponents. They claim his win was marred | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
by vote`rigging, The count had lasted nearly 24 | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
hours, it was criticised for being poorly organised but some of Lutfur | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
Rahman's opponents accused his party of electoral fraud, corruption and | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
political smears. Today judges dismissed his efforts to have those | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
claims thrown out. I am delighted there will be a full hearing in the | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
autumn and the complaints about election fraud and the way the | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
election was handled will have a full airing in the highest court in | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
the land. Among the allegations were that votes were cast by people not | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
entitled to be on the electoral register, that voting papers were | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
marked in favour of Mr Rahman, and that canvassers were encouraged to | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
give support to him. In September they will give a full explanation | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
about why they ruled against Mr Rahman's efforts to get this | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
petition thrown out, but they asked the petitioners to come forward with | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
more information about their claims within three weeks. Lutfur Rahman | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
was not in court today, but in a statement said there was no evidence | :06:40. | :06:40. | |
of fraud and intimidation. Nonetheless, having lost this latest | :06:41. | :06:59. | |
battle, he now faces the prospect of a full inquiry, probably later in | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
the year, when the claims against him will be examined. In addition, | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
inspectors appointed by the Government are due to report claims | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
that grants were given in Tower Hamlets in return for votes. | :07:14. | :07:28. | |
Transport for London has begun consulting | :07:29. | :07:29. | |
on whether lorries should be banned from London's roads if certain | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
Safety campaigners insist sideguards and extra mirrors should be fitted | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
to reduce the number of people killed or injured | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
Our reporter Tarah Welsh has more on the plans. | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
Today was all about making HGVs safer for making the road `` sharing | :07:42. | :07:55. | |
the road with cyclists. Derek's Laurie is an example of what HGVs | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
will look like if the plans go ahead. Under the proposal all | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
vehicles over 3.5 tonnes will have to have extra mirrors and they will | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
have to be fitted with side bars like these to stop cyclists being | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
dragged underneath the lorry. It gives me a great view of what is | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
around me. But adapting the vehicles can be costly. It is quite a large | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
financial burden for a company of our size but in the end of the day | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
how much can you put on a life. City Hall once these measures in place by | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
next year. These lorries are responsible for a vastly | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
disproportionate number of cyclists and pedestrian deaths, and without | :08:41. | :08:50. | |
this basic safety equipment `` with this equipment it will save lives | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
each year. It involves a redesign of the lorry cab, moving the engine | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
back a bit, the driver forward a bit and bringing the driver further | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
down. We see it on the lorries that collect rubbish on our streets, it | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
needs to be fitted on all lorries like this one. For now it is hoped | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
the changes will reduce scenes like these on our streets. | :09:17. | :09:25. | |
A couple from Carshalton have been jailed for a total of nine | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
and a half years for defrauding London's leading cancer hospital out | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
Stacey Tipler exploited her job in the accounts department at | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
the Royal Marsden Hospital to steal money that was meant to buy cancer | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
drugs, and spend it on shopping sprees and mortgage payments. | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
She's been jailed at Southwark Crown Court for four years | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
and her partner, Scott Chaplin, for five`and`a`half years. | :09:44. | :09:44. | |
The custodial sentences handed down today reflect the seriousness of the | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
crime and the seriousness with which the courts look at those offences. | :09:52. | :10:03. | |
The Gherkin skyscraper has been put up for sale. | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
The City of London tower is expected to fetch offers in the region of six | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
The 40 storey building is being sold after one of its joint owners | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
The skyscraper, which was designed by Lord Foster, opened in 2004. | :10:14. | :10:24. | |
Tracey Emin's controversial artwork 'My Bed' is set to return to | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
the Tate, where it was first shown in 1999. | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
It was recently sold for more than two million pounds. | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
The artist said before the sale that she hoped art lovers in the | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
The new owner, a German entrepreneur, | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
has agreed to loan the work to the Tate for at least 10 years. | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
Still to come: The latest from the Commonwealth Games including a gold | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
medal for the gymnast Max Whitlock. And I will be talking to bestselling | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
author Jacqueline Wilson about the stage adaptation of her first | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
historical work. And to the actress who brings the character to life. | :10:57. | :11:09. | |
Could empty garages and over`grown car parks help solve | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
The Conservative group on the London Assembly claim 10,000 new | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
homes could be created across the capital over the next | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
decade, by building on derelict spots right under our noses. | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
They say the Mayor should order local councils to identify which | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
Mohammed is delighted with his new home. He moved in with his family | :11:23. | :11:40. | |
six months ago. Built on what was once a derelict car park, the | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
council transformed the site into three new houses. Mohammed has been | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
on the council waiting list for 15 years, he says having more space for | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
his autistic son has made a real difference. It is life changing, not | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
just for him but the whole family. We used to live in very small | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
accommodation. Could building more homes like these help solve London's | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
housing crisis? Many of these garages are not being used and | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
Barnet Council says the site has become a dumping ground so instead | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
there are plans to demolish this and build a block of nine flats with | :12:21. | :12:28. | |
parking and a communal garden. The Conservatives on the London Assembly | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
say more could be done. Their report identifies 1200 empty garages in | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
Bexley that could be turned into homes, Brent has 1100 and Barnet | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
believes 1000 homes could be built there. The Tories say they have | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
found more than 4500 suitable sites and they want the mayor to order all | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
councils to carry out a survey and set up pilot projects for small | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
developers or even Londoners to build their own homes. The reason | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
these small areas didn't get used before is because big developers are | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
looking at large plots of land. We are looking at developments of up to | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
three properties. Today Boris Johnson's office said they are | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
supportive of the idea. The Labour Party says such schemes can only go | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
so far and more radical solutions are needed if more families will | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
find a home. Allotment owners | :13:26. | :13:43. | |
in Watford are taking legal action to try and stop their plots being | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
built on with new homes. Watford Borough Council wants to see | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
69 homes on the Victorian Farm Terrace site, and has got Government | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
agreement for the redevelopment. But campaigners are upset at | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
the Government's use of its powers Rose has been coming to the | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
allotment since she was a baby because her dad has been cultivating | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
this plot for over 40 years. For a man who speaks very little English | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
it has been a mainstay in making friends and although a brand`new | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
site is being offered, leaving here will be a wrench. When you have been | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
attending an allotment for over 40 years, it is very difficult at | :14:22. | :14:29. | |
nearly 80 years old to have to start again. Watford Borough Council say | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
they need this land for housing and have been given permission by the | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
Government to develop it, providing family homes and room for the local | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
hospital to expand. We have a vision to create about 6500 homes over the | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
next 15 years. It is essential those homes are affordable and that they | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
are family homes with gardens and people can have aspirations. This | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
site is one of our remaining sites where we can provide that sort of | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
vision. Last week at the High Court campaigners won the right to | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
challenge the Government's approval. In the last five years permission | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
has been given for 69 allotments to be sold. We are the thin end of the | :15:09. | :15:16. | |
wedge and if they take our allotments they will go after other | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
people 's allotments and a lot of them are historic. This one has been | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
here since 1896. We need to keep these sites, improve them and make | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
the community asset it should be. Allotments are an incredibly emotive | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
issue, they partly helped feed the nation during the Second World War | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
but these campaigners are facing the thorny issue of the housing crisis, | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
powerful arguments on both sides. The Department of these new `` | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
communities in local governments say they have helped strengthen | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
protection for allotments. Cold comfort for those up farm Terrace. | :15:54. | :16:09. | |
Jim Wheble reports. The diving pool in Waltham Forest, where Olympic and | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
Commonwealth Games medallist Pete Waterfield first learnt to dive, is | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
The centre will undergo a 23 million pound refurbishment | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
but there are no plans to replace the five`metre board. | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
This could be some of the last footage taken by | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
but there are no plans to replace the five`metre board. divers at this | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
swimming pool which has been featured in this singing `` music | :16:28. | :16:36. | |
video. Councillors don't plan to replace the five metre diving board. | :16:37. | :16:50. | |
meter board is my big thrill. I'm currently in the stages of starting | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
to do stuff off it. We haven't had all the opportunities that the most | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
experienced divers have had to go off that board. Them taking it away | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
wouldn't give us the opportunities in a few months to do that. Tom | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
Daley's Olympic and Commonwealth Games diving partner Pete Waterfield | :17:08. | :17:16. | |
learnt to dive there. The other divers were doing somersaults and | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
twist it is caught my eye. I wanted to have a go. The council will build | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
two smaller diving boards. They say for safety reasons a five meter | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
board would block off too many swimming lanes and mean a loss of | :17:31. | :17:43. | |
revenue. Divers are using the Aquatics Centre. By them moving into | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
the Aquatics Centre they will see a lot more divers participating in | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
their Here they programme. Have access to state`of`the`art diving pa | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
tilts, including a dry driving zone. Members of Wall ham Forest Diving | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
Club say they do have concerns because when elite athletes are here | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
to train, the diving club is told to go elsewhere. Without the Wall ham | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
Forest Pool I wouldn't have been in the sport or found the sport. Last | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
week at the Olympic Village they were celebrating the two year | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
anniversary of the games with a 3D art installation. . | :18:23. | :18:31. | |
It's been another Gold medal day for London athletes at | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Gymnast Max Whitlock has today | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
joined the likes of Ashley McKenzie and Laura Trott, who have already | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
made it to the top of the podium. Chris Slegg is here | :18:42. | :18:43. | |
now to tell us more. A convincing performance by Max? | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
A fine performance, he won two bronze medals at London 2014. He has | :18:48. | :18:58. | |
a Commonwealth Games Gold medal. He trained in Basildon. He helped | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
England win the Team Gold medal. There could be individual glory to | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
come as well. England beat Scotland into the Silver medal position. Max | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
said it was interesting to take on the top Scottish gymnasts when they | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
are usually all part of Team GB. These guys we have been friends and | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
team`mates with for a long time. It's fun training with them and | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
against them. Then we come together as a team and preparing for this for | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
a long time. For it to go well on the day, in front of a crowd like | :19:30. | :19:37. | |
this, is amazing. Silver on the track last night? A first medal for | :19:38. | :19:46. | |
Adam. He spent most of the year concentrating on the 100m. He was | :19:47. | :19:56. | |
beaten to the Gold. He clearly revels in the Hampden Park | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
atmosphere. He described it as the greatest result of his young career. | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
He was pleased with how he got off the blocks. I got out very well. I | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
just hanging on for dear life. That is all I could do. That I think was | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
down to the crowd really giving me that energy. I'm grateful to the | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
people at home in Dartford and able to do this for them and bring home a | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
medal. Hopefully, it is one of many. He has a bright future ahead of him. | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
A disappointing day for someone coming to the end of their career. | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
That is Andy Turner, the defending Champion in the 110m Hurdles. He | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
crashed out after hitting the very first hurdle. The 33`year`old from | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
Sutton is the captain of the England Athletics Team he missed last season | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
with an injury hechl was understandably distraught. There is | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
no excuse. I didn't run well. I didn't execute what I should have | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
done. I'm not that guy who is going to go ` well, my shoe lace came | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
undone or a dog came on the track or something stupid like that. I didn't | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
do what I was supposed to do. I ran in the Anniversary Games last week | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
I'm disappointed not to put on a better show. Sad to see. He wasn't | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
making any excuses there. He went on to say later that he does plan to | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
compete at the European Championships next month, he may | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
well retire after that. Heartbreaking for him. Thank you | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
very much, Chris. She is | :21:27. | :21:34. | |
the best selling children's author who has written nearly a 100 books. | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
Now, the stage version of Jacqueline Wilson's 'Hetty Feather' | :21:38. | :21:39. | |
is coming to the West End. As a champion of children's theatre, | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
the author told our arts correspondent, Brenda Emmanus, that | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
she is delighted that her first historical work, and favourite | :21:46. | :21:47. | |
character, have been brought to life for a young audience. | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
You can be anyone you want to be. And whoever I am, this is my story. | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
Hetty Feather, a fiesty young girl abandoned by her | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
mother at the Foundling Hospital. Set in Victorian London, | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
it's the first historical work of celebrated children's author, | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
Jacqueline Wilson. Following a successful tour, | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
the stage adaptation now opens in the West End. | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
I think, when you've been writing for as long | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
as I have ` I mean I'm coming up for my 100th book now ` you want to | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
set yourself new challenges. You want to do something different. | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
I'd never written historical books before. | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
I'd always been passionately interested in Victorians. | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
So I thought, why not have a go. Following intensive circus training, | :22:33. | :22:34. | |
it's fallen on actress Phoebe Thomas to bring Hetty to life. | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
This is a character that Jacqueline Wilson has been with | :22:39. | :22:40. | |
for three books, for a long period of her life, and | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
has got, yeah, a huge following. We all said, as long as we have | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
those core characteristics, and keep the spirit of each character going, | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
then, hopefully, the kids will buy into it, and they have done. | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
A, is for apple. B, is for bear. | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
C, is for chair. D, is for dog. | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
Now, you've consistently championed the need for books in the lives | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
of young people. What do you think about theatre? | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
Do you look at it in the same light? I think it's tremendously important. | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
I think it's so sad that our special theatres, | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
for children, are struggling. I think, if you attract children in | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
your audience, then you are creating theatre goers for the future. | :23:20. | :23:26. | |
Are you ever tempted to, for example, write a play or even | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
director a piece of your own work? I have written plays in the past. | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
But I can see that I can almost get it, but not quite. | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
And, certainly, I couldn't possibly direct in that... | :23:41. | :23:48. | |
I couldn't be bossy enough! Perhaps not a bossy boots, | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
definitely a popular Dame. Hetty Feather is at the | :23:52. | :23:53. | |
Vaudeville Theatre until September. Brendan Emmanus, BBC News. | :23:54. | :24:02. | |
Now the weather with Wendy and a return of the sunshine | :24:03. | :24:04. | |
after those storms. Yes. This is how it finished | :24:05. | :24:14. | |
yesterday. We had lovely sunsets across London. More fine weather as | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
we go through into the middle part of the Tomorrow there week. Will be | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
more cloud in the sky. It will fresher than today. We got to 27 | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
degrees again. Very warm out there. The satellite picture tells the | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
picture very well. We had cloud around early on. Most of the day | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
brought us decent spells of sunshine, hence the higher | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
temperatures. There is cloud working towards us at the moment. You might | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
be able to make out the shape of it. It is a cold front. Weakening as it | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
comes across to us. We are going to see a slight change to the weather, | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
a few slight one because of that cold front. Enjoy the warm | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
conditions out at the moment. There is plenty of sunshine to end the | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
day. Note the direction in the wind, north`westerly as we go through the | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
night. Also then we start to get the cloud in. That is the cold front I | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
just showed you there. Into the early hours. Morning more cloud | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
around. There will be fresher weather behind it. High Wycombe | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
likely down to 12 degrees. 15 degrees underneath the cloud into | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
the early hours of the morning elsewhere. We start the day tomorrow | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
with most of the that cloud melting away. We will have sunshine to | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
enjoy. The because we have a breeze through the afternoon it will feel | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
cooler. There will be some cloud that fills in later on in the day. | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
Whereas we got to 27 degrees in London today, tomorrow we are more | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
likely to be around 25. That is pretty average for the time of year | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
and perfectly pleasant. You can see the temperatures around London 23`24 | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
degrees, pleasant enough and warm into the afternoon. It will be a | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
similar picture as we go through Thursday as well. There will be a | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
fair amount of cloud drifting around from time to time. Brighter breaks | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
or even sunshine breaking through. Temperatures 22`25 degrees Celsius | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
with the risk of showers developing later on in the afternoon and | :26:06. | :26:07. | |
towards the evening. We will watch that situation for you. On the | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
outlook there is more chance of seeing a shower on Friday. They | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
won't be for everyone. It is turning more unsettle through to the end of | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
the week. For the weekend, there is a low pressure system that will be | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
working through which will introduce instability. We will have some heavy | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
rain here and there. Alex. Thank you very much. Lots of good weather to | :26:28. | :26:29. | |
look forward to. The main headlines. | :26:30. | :26:37. | |
More than 100 Palestinians are said to have been killed | :26:38. | :26:39. | |
in Israeli air strikes on Gaza after one of the bloodiest days | :26:40. | :26:42. | |

The European Union has agreed to impose broad economic sanctions | :26:58. | :27:00. | |

support for separatists in Ukraine. They include restrictions on the | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
finance, defence and energy sectors. Drivers whose cars don't meet | :27:09. | :27:11. | |

That's it. I will be back later | :27:35. | :27:36. | |
during the 10.00pm news, but for now, from everyone | :27:37. | :27:39. | |
on the team, have a lovely evening. Goodbye. | :27:40. | :27:57. | |
I leave the ashram, travel halfway across the world to find my father, | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
Oh, well. As Vashrati says, gotta keep smiling! | :28:02. | :28:10. | |
We don't tend to use the bathroom together here. | :28:11. | :28:12. | |
All right, well, I'll catch you later. | :28:13. | :28:14. | |
This ashram of yours, it might be a cult. | :28:15. | :28:17. | |
I take it back, he's definitely Cuckoo's son. | :28:18. | :28:22. |
