Now on BBC1, time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:18. | |
In a bid to reduce opposition to government plans to build three | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
new "garden cities" a proposal has been put forward to compensate | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
The Deputy Prime Minister said local people affected by building work | :00:27. | :00:34. | |
might get rebates on their council tax or be able sell their homes | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
The satellite town scheme is planned to reduce the congestion in London | :00:39. | :00:48. | |
and give workers employment in pleasant surroundings. | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
The garden city movement began over a century ago in response to similar | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
housing pressures to today, a huge demand for homes around London. | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
This was the result, Letchworth and Welwyn Garden City | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
where parks and gardens were woven amongst the housing. | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
The Government thinks similar developments today | :01:08. | :01:08. | |
Avoiding the protests, which greeted other recent big | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
We could maybe give deductions on their council tax | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
for the period of time during which the garden city is being built. | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
We could possibly also say to those homes where they think the price | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
of their home will be affected - we will guarantee the price | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
of their home by buying it, if you like, up front. | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
But will it be enough? Earlier this year, rumours swept through this | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
town in Buckinghamshire, claims of secret government plans for a new | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
garden city somewhere nearby. The shocked parish council got straight | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
on to their MP. He also happens to be in the | :01:48. | :01:58. | |
Cabinet. This is the result from Dominic Grieve... The problem for | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
them seems to have gone away, but it shows how some communities may react | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
if the green belt is threatened. Remarks by Nick Clegg seem to have | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
surprised that the Department for Communities and Local Government. -- | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
surprised. We understand a short list could be published by the end | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
of the year. A cyclist aged in his thirties | :02:22. | :02:36. | |
has died after a crash with It happened last night and | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
although a doctor passing-by tried to resuscitate the man, | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
he died shortly afterwards. He's the seventh cyclist to be | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
killed on London's roads this year. So tonight is the eve of the | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
100th anniversary of the start of Britain's involvement in | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
World War One. And out of the thousands | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
of Londoners who fought and died in the war effort, 10,000 came | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
from Islington. Well every single one of their names | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
has been placed on commemorative It is the summer of 1914, and here | :03:00. | :03:09. | |
in Finsbury, volunteers in their thousands queue to enlist in the | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
army, as they walked into the unknown, many of them never | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
returned. Three men from this straight, one chap, we do not even | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
know his age. This man here. It is something we need to research. He | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
would have lived right here? Down this straight, yes. Those who died | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
have returned to the streets where they once lived, there are names | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
printed on these plaques for a new generation of residence to see. They | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
were all individuals who had wives, children, mothers and fathers, all | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
of those will have grave. It is something that brings home the | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
reality. It is really important. Almost 10,000 Islington residents | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
lost their lives during the First World War, they were mostly young | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
men who would have lived in neighbourhoods like these, or gone | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
to a school like this one. What the commemorative plaques hope to do is | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
make their story is a bit more personal. The poor fellow must have | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
been injured beforehand and brought back to England and he has died. By | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
putting up these plaques with the individual name and age, their time | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
of death, where they died, when they died, it will enable local people to | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
say, hang on a minute, I want to know more about this particular | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
person... This map pinpoints where Islington soldiers came from, it was | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
not just the borough 's men that played a part. Women were trained in | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
making lenses, for periscopes of submarines and binoculars and | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
telescopes. They died 100 years ago but it is hoped that these discrete | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
reminders will bring home heroes of Islington once again. | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
After another pleasant day there is a lot of dry and fine weather in | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
this forecast, some people do want some rain, later in the week we will | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
run the risk of that, but for tomorrow, a lot of dry weather, and | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
plenty of warm sunshine. Through the evening and overnight we are dry and | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
things will be settled, 13, 14 degrees, not quite as muddy as some | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
nights we have seen. Off to a great start tomorrow morning, some | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
sunshine, as we go through the afternoon we will run the risk of | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
some showers cropping up. Many places staying dry, top temperature | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
of delete it is going to turn increasingly | :05:38. | :05:47. | |
unsettled with the risk of showers through the middle part of the week, | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
and rain possibly on Thursday. Good evening. Some of us have had a | :05:50. | :06:10. | |
sunny weekend but for others it has not stopped raining for the last | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
couple of days, you can see where on the satellite picture, big swell of | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
cloud, dominating things. Torrential storms, if you see the coverage, you | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
can see how much rain there has been, that has caused issues. | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
Thunder and lightning thrown in as well. This area of storms moves | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
north out of Glasgow but this clutch of heavy downpours pushing into the | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
south-west of Scotland, we will have to keep an eye on that for the | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
closing ceremony. One thing is for sure, which showers and blustery | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
wind, it will not be anything like as fine and warm | :06:46. | :06:46. |
