:00:00. > 3:59:59of Australia. That's all from Hampden Park. Do stay with us, time

:00:00. > :00:15.for the news where you. In a bid to reduce opposition to

:00:16. > :00:23.government plans to build three new "garden cities" - a proposal has

:00:24. > :00:29.been put forward to compensate The Deputy Prime Minister said local

:00:30. > :00:34.people affected by building work - might get rebates

:00:35. > :00:49.on their council tax - or be-able The satellite town scheme is

:00:50. > :00:55.designed to reduce congestion in London...

:00:56. > :01:02.The garden city movement began over a century ago. Then there were

:01:03. > :01:06.similar pressures to today. This was the result. Letchworth and Welwyn

:01:07. > :01:13.Garden City. Now the government hopes similar developments will be

:01:14. > :01:16.welcomed by local people. Avoiding the protests that greeted eco-towns

:01:17. > :01:23.and other big housing projects. Money should help. We could maybe

:01:24. > :01:27.give deductions on council tax for the period of time in which the

:01:28. > :01:31.garden city is being built, possibly also say to those homes where they

:01:32. > :01:34.think the price of their home will be affected, we will guarantee the

:01:35. > :01:40.price of their home by buying it upfront. But will it be enough?

:01:41. > :01:43.Earlier this year rumours swept through Gerard Cross, claims there

:01:44. > :01:51.were secret government plans for a Garden City nearby. A shocked parish

:01:52. > :01:55.council got straight on to their MP. This is the response from Dominic

:01:56. > :02:02.Grieve... Also happens to be in the Cabinet. He says, I am satisfied no

:02:03. > :02:07.proposal exists. The problem for them seems to have gone away, but it

:02:08. > :02:10.does suggest how some communities may react if the green belt is

:02:11. > :02:18.threatened, and Nick Clegg's comments seem to have surprised some

:02:19. > :02:22.departments, describing them as an interesting contribution to the

:02:23. > :02:24.debate. We understand the short list of locations could be published by

:02:25. > :02:27.the end of the year. A cyclist aged

:02:28. > :02:30.in his 30's has died after a crash It happened last night and

:02:31. > :02:35.although a doctor passing by tried to resuscitate the man -

:02:36. > :02:38.he died shortly afterwards. He's the seventh cyclist to be

:02:39. > :02:42.killed on London's roads this year. 10,000 Londoners from Islington who

:02:43. > :02:46.fought and died in World War One are being remembered, by having

:02:47. > :03:02.their names put on commemorative It's the summer of 1914 and here in

:03:03. > :03:04.Finsbury, volunteers in their thousands queued to enlist. As they

:03:05. > :03:13.walked into the unknown, many of them never made it back. We've got

:03:14. > :03:18.three men from the street, one chap, we don't know his age. It's

:03:19. > :03:23.something we need to research. We are not even sure exactly... He

:03:24. > :03:28.would have lived right here? The street just behind you. Those who

:03:29. > :03:32.died had now returned to the streets where they once lived. Their names

:03:33. > :03:35.printed on these plaques for a new generation of residents to see.

:03:36. > :03:39.Something that brings home the reality that these were ordinary

:03:40. > :03:47.people, who lived in streets like these. He must have been injured and

:03:48. > :03:51.brought back to England. He is dying at the age of 19. By putting up

:03:52. > :03:56.these plaques with their name, age at death and where and when they

:03:57. > :04:03.died, it will enable anyone locally to say, that is half or George such

:04:04. > :04:08.and such, I want to know more about him. This map pinpoint exactly where

:04:09. > :04:13.Islington soldiers came from and it wasn't just the borough's men who

:04:14. > :04:18.played a part. Women were trained in making lenses for periscopes of

:04:19. > :04:24.submarines and binoculars and telescopes. They died 100 years ago

:04:25. > :04:26.but it is hoped these discrete reminders will bring Islington's

:04:27. > :04:33.heroes home once again. Now a look at the weather with

:04:34. > :04:42.Sara Thornton. A great start tomorrow with

:04:43. > :04:49.temperatures in double figures and some sunshine. The cloud will bubble

:04:50. > :04:51.up in the afternoon, most places will remain dry but the shower risk

:04:52. > :05:11.increases during the week. Good evening. Many of us had a

:05:12. > :05:16.decent second part of the weekend, particularly so for England and

:05:17. > :05:20.Wales, rather different from Scotland and Northern Ireland. We

:05:21. > :05:24.saw our whole rash of showers across Scotland and Northern Ireland, some

:05:25. > :05:31.thunder and lightning swirling around. There was a huge curl of

:05:32. > :05:39.cloud, indicative of an area of low pressure. That will work its way

:05:40. > :05:48.northwards, taking its the wind and rain with it. For England and Wales,

:05:49. > :05:53.may be a shower around the coast but rural spots make it a bit on the

:05:54. > :05:58.chilly side. Through the day tomorrow, fine in dry weather on

:05:59. > :05:59.offer, some good spells of sunshine but there will be
