at the weather with John Hammond. That's all from the BBC News at Six. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
On BBC One we can now join the BBC's news teams where you are. | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Defiance from the Mayor of Tower Hamlets as he raises | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
the Palestinian flag at the Town Hall, but opponents say the decision | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
Many of them are women, children, the frail and vulnerable. We have a | :00:19. | :00:28. | |
right to express our fears and our sorrows. | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
Helping to cut alcohol related crime in London. | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
The ankle tags checking how much offenders drink. | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
A former Gurkha soldier from Berkshire, fights to be | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
reunited with his family to help him cope with dementia. | :00:40. | :00:48. | |
And giving you a taste of opera ` the surprising performances | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
Good evening and welcome, I'm Asad Ahmad. | :00:52. | :01:13. | |
People in four areas of London who repeatedly commit crimes while drunk | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
will be forced to wear ankle tags which monitor how much they drink. | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
For the first time in Britain, a pilot project is giving several | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
courts the power to ban offenders from drinking alcohol | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
Here's our Political Correspondent, Karl Mercer. | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
Could this, an alcohol sniffing ankle bracelet, | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
We could be about to find out in south London, with people found | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
guilty of crimes involving alcohol now in line to be tagged. | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
You put the breathalyser around the ankle. | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
It's zero tolerance. One drink and it detects it. | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
The device measures levels every half`hour. | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
A single drink and the person could be back in trouble. | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
What it does is it monitors whether that person is drinking again. | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
If he drinks, if it is a he, if he drinks again, | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
even if it is a glass of beer or wine, he will be in breach, | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
he will be back before the court and he could face a custodial sentence. | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
If you look at the graphs of your alcohol consumption over the last | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
few days, it's basically almost continuous alcohol consumption. | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
This one`year trial will cover Lambeth, Croydon, | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
It is expected about 150 people will be tagged for | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
If they drink, they could face a fine or prison. | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
We support this trial, because we know that half | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
of recorded crime is related to alcohol, implicated in it. | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
This is one way of helping to break that link | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
between going out and getting plastered and committing acts | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
But we think it's not the only answer. | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
The idea comes from America, where it has been successfully used | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
The American firm that runs the scheme there will do the same here. | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
There is not a defined human right to drink alcohol. | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
So we find the argument that it is inhumane or | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
not consistent with human rights to be counter to the fact that | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
The pilot scheme runs until next summer. | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
If it is ruled a success, expect to see many more of these | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
Don't go anywhere just yet, as there's lots more to come | :03:21. | :03:30. | |
before 7.00, including a hat`trick of golds for Hertfordshire gymnast | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
Max Whitlock as he adds more medals to his Commonwealth games tally | :03:34. | :03:34. | |
in Glasgow. Hardly a day goes by without yet | :03:35. | :03:45. | |
another report being published on Today is no exception ` | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
and it's the turn of the Nationwide, who are reporting yet another | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
increase in prices. At the same time, | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
there's concern that a Government scheme designed to help first time | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
buyers get onto the property ladder They are now settled into their new | :04:00. | :04:17. | |
flat in north`east London. The three bed new building: They'll cost | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
?350,000. They could only afford it because of the Government's help to | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
buy scheme, which gave them a 20% loan which worked out at ?70,000. If | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
require about ?85,000. I have less require about ?85,000. I have less | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
than that. This scheme helped me a lot. New figures show across the | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
country the number of get on the property ladder has gone up. Here is | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
dropped. To 6% of all help to buy dropped. To 6% of all help to buy | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
loans across England have gone to Londoners, who have received 10% of | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
the ?1.1 billion the scheme has given out. More people have been | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
helped in burrows to the east. Havering have the most with 204. | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
Neighbouring Bexley had 139. In Greenwich, it was 135. In Camden and | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
Haringey, nobody has put on the property ladder thanks to help to | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
buy. Doesn't consider the real crux of the housing issue in London. | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
There are not enough property is being built. The property is being | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
built are going to overseas investors. On the doorstep of City | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
Hall, work continued on these new luxury flats. The top ones are on | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
for ?16 million. Critics of this sort of development are highlighting | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
how the cost of new builds across London have soared. A ?162,000 rise | :05:45. | :05:52. | |
over seven years. The Government insisted that help to buy was | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
creating a new generation of homeowners and the Mayor said he is | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
on track to build 100,000 low`cost homes. For many Londoners, the | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
housing dream is very different from reality. | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
It's a conflict which is shocking the world, as the death toll in Gaza | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
Latest figures show around 14,000 people have been killed | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
in the violence with the UN saying nearly half are women and children. | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
Here, anger has been provoked after the Mayor of Tower Hamlets, | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
Lutfur Rahman, decided to raise the Palestinian | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
It's led to accusations that the move is nothing more than divisive. | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
But the Mayor remains defiant, saying the flag which was later | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
In a single tweet, the council Mayor dragged in east London borough into | :06:35. | :06:56. | |
the controversy of the conflict. He tweeted a picture of the flag flying | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
on the town hall, saying it is a symbol of solidarity with Gaza. | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
Overnight, the flagpole was vandalised and removed, igniting | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
fears that tensions could spill over. Jewish leaders have accused | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
the Mayor of effectively siding with Hamas, which controls Gaza. In a | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
statement, a representative of the board of British Jews said it was | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
totally inappropriate, and also destructive of relations between the | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
communities that make up the capital city. Today, the Mayor defended his | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
actions, saying it is a humanitarian and not political statement. We have | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
a large constituency, and the constituency feels strongly that the | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
violence should come to an end, the suffering of ordinary folks should | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
come to an end. It is our solidarity with the people of that region. Also | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
in your constituency you have a Jewish community, at any point did | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
it cross your mind that flying the Palestinian flag would upset those | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
members of your community? I am very grateful that we have a very diverse | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
community in Tower Hamlets. I have a good relationship with the Jewish | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
community. I have visited the synagogue... Well, you haven't now, | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
have you? I have visited the synagogue in Whitechapel Way number | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
of times. I believe the decent, right minded people will see the | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
need for the violence to come to an end. More than 2000 miles away, the | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
suffering of Palestinian families is in no doubt. But home support among | :08:37. | :08:44. | |
Israelis to defend itself against attacks is bolstering. Senior | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
politicians condemn the protest as unhelpful flag`waving, as | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
international efforts continue to persuade Hamas and Israel to agree | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
to a cease`fire. This is gesture politics, it gets you nowhere. It's | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
playing up to one section of the community. I hope we have seen the | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
last of it. This borough is used to receiving headlines for the wrong | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
reasons. After it emerged he could face a legal peering over | :09:11. | :09:18. | |
allegations of voting fraud, which he strenuously denies comic is | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
making headlines again. But he wants the flag back. It should be back | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
up. That is the wish and the desire of the people of this borough. The | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
Mayor of Tower Hamlets. Customs and Immigration staff say | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
they feel unprepared to deal with the possibility of people arriving | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
in Britain with the deadly virus, Ebola. Yesterday, the Foreign | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
Secretary, Phillip Hammond said the Government was taking the outbreak | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
in West Africa very seriously. Caroline Hepker is here with more on | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
this. Some very concerned staff? The | :09:46. | :09:56. | |
general secretary of the immigration service union, which represents 4500 | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
or the staff, says that her members are extremely concerned about how to | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
deal with the possibility of somebody with a Ebola infraction | :10:05. | :10:15. | |
arriving `` infection. She said until recently staff had been given | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
no guidance on what to do. Speaking to a virologist from the University | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
of Reading, Doctor Benjamin Newman, he says he can understand why the | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
border staff are concerned, because it bowler is very difficult to | :10:27. | :10:35. | |
detect. `` Ebola. The symptoms looked just like the cold and flu | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
early on. If you look at everybody around the world, there are maybe | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
one person in 300 that would have symptoms like that from some other | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
cause right now. You would end of detaining a lot of people and | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
spending a lot of money on testing. But there are airports around the | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
world that are beginning to screen passengers as they arrive, using | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
thermal images. Running a high temperature, a fever, is one of the | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
early signs of this deadly virus. Yesterday, the Government said they | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
were taking it very seriously, what have they had to say today? Health | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
officials and the Government are trying to reassure people. The idea | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
of you bowler spreading further is extremely worrying. `` he. They have | :11:17. | :11:29. | |
a specialist unit standing ready if there is any possibility of it | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
arriving in the UK. It is still very concerning. 729 people have died in | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
West Africa according to the UN. What are the risks? The risks are | :11:40. | :11:48. | |
quite limited. It's difficult to catch, much more difficult than the | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
flu. It is a difficult disease. The incubation period is between two and | :11:53. | :12:02. | |
21 days. It is deadly for between 50% and 90% of people diagnosed. So, | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
very high mortality rate. Right now, there is no known cure. That is | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
extremely worrying. Many worried people out there, thank you for that | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
important update. A former Gurkha soldier | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
from Berkshire who's a Falklands veteran is now fighting to be | :12:19. | :12:20. | |
reunited with his family after being Dumbar Bahadar Margar lives in | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
Reading with his wife and disabled son, but his two daughters in Nepal | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
have been refused permission to come A family that is not complete. | :12:30. | :12:44. | |
Dumbar Bahadar Margar just wants to be reunited with his daughters. When | :12:45. | :12:53. | |
they come, I am happy, because they can look after me. I don't speak | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
Dutch English, that's a problem. Dumbar served on the front line in | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
the Falklands. He and his wife settled in Reading. As is the | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
Nepalese way, they want all of their children with them. | :13:08. | :13:17. | |
My husband, all the time is crying. A great injustice has been righted. | :13:18. | :13:26. | |
The Joanna Lumley ruling in 2009 gave Dumbar the right to live in the | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
UK. But as the law stands, their children that are over 18 cannot | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
join them. The Home Office says it has no plans to change the rules. | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
The family have gone to an immigration tribunal, a test case | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
ahead of the government debate. As the hearing began, Dumbar but on his | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
Gurkha hat and saluted. The court heard of his 17 year service record, | :13:52. | :13:59. | |
how he has been diagnosed with dementia and how he cares for his | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
disabled son, and that is why he needs his daughters here. Are you | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
angry? I am happy, because I hope this is good for my battle. If we | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
fail at this level, we will move onto the next one and the next above | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
that if necessary. This sort of thing cannot go on. It is absolutely | :14:21. | :14:29. | |
wicked. The judgement is due in two weeks. Supporters say because Dumbar | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
fought for his country, he deserves to be supported by it. And his | :14:35. | :14:35. | |
family. for the women's Rugby World Cup, one | :14:36. | :14:55. | |
player tells us the trophy could be theirs. We are going to go and win | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
the World Cup this summer. 21`year`old gymnast, Max Whitlock | :15:00. | :15:07. | |
from Hemel Hempstead has emerged as He's having yet another gold | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
winning medal day in Glasgow. We can cross now to the South Essex | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
Gymnastic Club in Basildon where he Plenty to celebrate? Yes, so much to | :15:15. | :15:31. | |
celebrate because Max Whitlock is now a triple Commonwealth Games gold | :15:32. | :15:39. | |
medallist. And his third gold medal came early this afternoon in the | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
floor final. We can see that now. That adds to the gold he won on | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
Tuesday in the team event. Yesterday he got a gold medal in the all`round | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
event. It has been a tremendous performance from him in these games. | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
He is a contender for the World Championships later this year. One | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
of his coaches, Matt Jackson, is here with me. How does it feel to | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
see someone from this club do so well? It is an amazing achievement | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
is phenomenal. It is brilliant for all of the kids to work alongside | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
him in the gymnasium, great encouragement for the kids. The | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
atmosphere is amazing. He got a silver in the pommel horse. What is | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
a bit like watching him on the television? Nerve wracking for | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
everyone. It is what happens on the day. Max had a tiny little fault | :16:38. | :16:45. | |
today but to win a silver medal is still an amazing achievement. | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
Hopefully it is the next stepping stone for a World Championship | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
battle. What has impressed you most about his performances? Justice | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
consistency. He is always so calm and relaxed. He is amazing. It is | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
great for the kids to aspire to that. We are waiting to see where | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
Max Whitlock has finished in the rings. There could be a bronze | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
medal. It could get even better for him. From a legend in the making, a | :17:13. | :17:21. | |
big night for a London man who is already a legend? Yes, David Weir | :17:22. | :17:29. | |
goes in the 1500 metre final later tonight. It is his first | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
Commonwealth Games. He has won so much and inspired so many, | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
particularly one young man. David Weir has pretty much won the lot. | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
Six Paralympic gold medals, six world titles, six London marathons. | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
15`year`old Ciaran is one of his biggest fans. David Weir is my | :17:49. | :17:56. | |
favourite athlete. Until David Weir I had no idea there was even London | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
Olympics or a Commonwealth Games for people like us. He is one of the | :18:04. | :18:11. | |
most special ones. Cure and taken to the Commonwealth Games by BBC | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
newsround but he had no idea what was about to happen. `` Ciaran was | :18:15. | :18:24. | |
taken. RU Ciaran? Hello. Nice to meet you. A bit surprised? Yes, | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
very. This is really weird. What was it like when you were growing up in | :18:32. | :18:42. | |
a wheelchair? It was OK. Obviously I had my dark days like every disabled | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
person has. But I had a strong family around me. How did you get | :18:48. | :18:56. | |
into wheelchair racing? Through the London Marathon, really. The | :18:57. | :19:04. | |
marathon was the only race that I saw wheelchairs in. What are you | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
expecting from the Commonwealth Games? I will just do my best on the | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
day. I would love to win a gold medal and Hampden Park for England. | :19:15. | :19:20. | |

silver friendly Puli `` for Emma Pooley in the women's time trial. | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
Well done to them. They are getting ready to cheer on Max Whitlock eared | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
again tomorrow in the parallel bars. They want another medal. | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
Staying with sport for a moment, as the Women's Rugby World Cup | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
England have been runners`up at the last three tournaments ` | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
so they're hoping to go one better this time around. | :20:16. | :20:17. | |
In the squad is Richmond's, Emma Croker. | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
Since the last World Cup, she's had a baby ` but now, she's back. | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
Sara Orchard has been speaking to her. | :20:25. | :20:33. | |
Running out for her 50th England captain was special for Emma Croker. | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
She was running out with her daughter, Lucy. It was one of the | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
most special moments of my life. Obviously to win 50 caps for your | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
country is something you dream about. But then to run out with your | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
daughter was just amazing. She did so well. She made it all the way | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
across the page. After the last World Cup, Emma and husband James | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
decided the time was right to start a family. She stopped playing and | :21:04. | :21:11. | |
the baby was due in 2011. I found out I was pre`eclamptic. I got | :21:12. | :21:15. | |

It was not ideal for rugby. But to be completely honest, I just wanted | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
my baby to be OK at that moment. The moment they give you your daughter | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
and she is healthy is just the most amazing moment ever. Despite having | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
had a Caesarean section, Emma was soon back training. After four | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
months she was playing for our club and after five, her country. We had | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
to make sure she was physically right. As soon as she was, she was | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
back on the pitch. Did she get `` de get any special treatment in the | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
England squad? No! Everyone a supportive but when I am here I am | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
proud of the England team. My job is to play rugby. The team are laughing | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
and joking here. The World Cup is serious business and England have | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
quite the story to tell. They have made the last three finals and lost | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
them all to New Zealand. Spurs you on in those deep dark moments when | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
it is proper British weather outside and you are going to go and win that | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
World Cup this summer. My mother and husband are both coming out. They | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
are there for the whole time. Lucy is there with them. She will be at | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
every match. She has got her own ticket and her England kit. | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
Good luck to England. With a remit to bring opera to | :22:38. | :22:38. | |
the widest audiences, a company of performers has arrived | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
in Kings Cross to present musical and song to the masses | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
in a series of pop up events. This is an attempt to bring opera to | :22:45. | :23:03. | |
the masses. It is one of a series of pop`ups taking place this summer | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
around the public spaces in King's Cross and is part of the Tete`a`Tete | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
Opera Festival. Our main aim is to get a wider public to enjoy new | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
opera. The other aim is to attract attention for the more rehearsed, | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
Fuller shows that we are doing in theatres. I kept laughing because it | :23:23. | :23:31. | |
was a bit funny. It was kind of interesting. But I think if they are | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
trying to attract newcomers, then perhaps it makes more sense to play | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
some of the classics. I was perplexed but the kids seemed to | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
love it. Each day there will be five pop`up performances here at Granary | :23:48. | :23:55. | |
Square. It is hoped Londoners will embrace what they see here and be | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
inspired to buy tickets for the full`length performances, such as | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
this one showing at the platform theatre nearby. This operates blows | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
the relationship between humanity and the planet. There are so many | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
amazing things to do in London. This will take up an hour of your time | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
and hopefully enlighten you about some really important issues, and | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
hopefully entertain you as well. Adventurous audiences to get a taste | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
for it will have the opportunity to see more than 30 world premiers and | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
around 100 performances in the next ten days if they so desire. `` | :24:39. | :24:40. | |
premiers. Yesterday you said you were not a | :24:41. | :24:51. | |
big fan of the warm weather but it continues. It does. It is the end of | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
July. July has been the eighth successive month where temperatures | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
have been above average. Although it looks as if it will start one in | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
August, there is the greater chance of rain in the next couple of days. | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
We have had more cloud today despite the wall`to`wall sunshine yesterday. | :25:11. | :25:18. | |
Temperatures averaged 24 degrees in the capital. Thunderstorms been | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
triggered by the heat to the north and the West. For most of us it is | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
still a dry picture. It will be a dry, quiet, warm night. Missed in | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
the Valley first thing in the morning. A decent start to the day. | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
Some decent sunshine. There is a chance that tomorrow we may catch | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
the odd shower. Hit and miss. Still pretty warm. A lot of rain | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
evaporating. 23, possibly 24 in the capital. The greater chance of rain | :25:53. | :26:03. | |
on Friday or Saturday. The potential for more thunderstorms from the | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
channel on Saturday. Some lengthy downpours first thing on Saturday. | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
Dry for a time before we get more showers. Unsettled at the moment on | :26:12. | :26:22. | |
Saturday. Still very warm. This area of low pressure will bring some | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
nasty conditions north and west, would tear away to allow drier | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
weather across the south`east and the London regions as we head into | :26:34. | :26:35. | |
Sunday. Rain possible. Before the we go, a reminder | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
of tonight's main news headlines: Israeli prime minister | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
Benjamin Netanyahu has said that, with or without a ceasefire, | :26:43. | :26:44. | |
Israel is determined to destroy tunnels built by Palestinian | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
militants from Gaza into Israel. He said he would not accept any | :26:48. | :26:49. | |
truce that did not allow Israel I hope you can join me again during | :26:50. | :26:52. | |
the 10 o'clock news on BBC One. Until then enjoy the coverage | :26:53. | :27:07. | |
