Good evening from BBC London News. I'm Riz Lateef.

:00:09.:00:18.

Police investigating the disappearance of 14`year`old Alice

:00:19.:00:21.

Gross have named a man they want to question in the hunt to find her.

:00:22.:00:25.

The teenager from Hanwell wdnt missing almost three weeks `go.

:00:26.:00:28.

Detectives want to speak to 41`year`old Arnis Zalkalns, who was

:00:29.:00:32.

last seen at his home in Ealing on Wednesday. Police say he's not a

:00:33.:00:36.

suspect. It comes ahead of `n appeal on the BBC's Crimewatch programme

:00:37.:00:44.

later tonight. Alex Bushill reports. Tonight a mainly new development.

:00:45.:00:47.

This is the man the police want to trace. He is Arnis Zalkalns. He s

:00:48.:00:53.

Latvian, 41 years old, a falily man and a bird by profession. Hd too

:00:54.:01:00.

would cycle to work with a friend along the same towpath Alicd was

:01:01.:01:06.

seen walking along on these fuzzy CCTV pictures. She disappeared three

:01:07.:01:10.

weeks ago. He went missing dxactly a week later. Given the route taken by

:01:11.:01:17.

Arnis to and fro work and ghven the route that Alice took on th`t

:01:18.:01:21.

particular day, it is highlx possible that he may have come

:01:22.:01:27.

across her, cycled past her and may have vital information in rdlation

:01:28.:01:31.

to her movements on that dax. I m asking Arnis Zalkalns firstly, if he

:01:32.:01:34.

is listening to this, to cole forward and speak to our detectives.

:01:35.:01:39.

The police also learned tod`y this rucksack she was seen carryhng was

:01:40.:01:45.

seen by a couple at 8.15pm that evening discarded by the river

:01:46.:01:49.

Brent. That's significant, `s it narrows the window to less than four

:01:50.:01:54.

hours. This latest police appeal comes as another is made by Alice's

:01:55.:02:00.

family on tonight's edition of Crimewatch. There's not a moment of

:02:01.:02:05.

the day that you don't think about Alice and where she is, what might

:02:06.:02:09.

have happened or why she might have gone missing. It is impossible to

:02:10.:02:14.

describe what that pain feels like. The last two weeks have been

:02:15.:02:18.

heartbreaking but we want hdr to know, please, Alice, if you are out

:02:19.:02:23.

there, come home. If anyone has any information at all about her

:02:24.:02:28.

movements on that day or about her whereabouts now, I would re`lly

:02:29.:02:32.

plead with them to come forward to the police and get her home. That's

:02:33.:02:36.

where she belongs. She needs to be here with us. Which is why there is

:02:37.:02:41.

still hope in Hanwell she whll return home safe. Safe. Tonhght the

:02:42.:02:46.

police believe that man, Arnis Zalkalns, may hold key. And you can

:02:47.:02:54.

see more on the search for lissing teenager Alice Gross on Crilewatch

:02:55.:02:56.

shortly at 10.40pm after thd news here on BBC One.

:02:57.:02:59.

From today millions of passdngers can pay for their Tube and train

:03:00.:03:02.

journeys in London using a contactless bank card. It's already

:03:03.:03:04.

been introduced on the bus network. Transport bosses believe swhping a

:03:05.:03:07.

credit or debit card on an Oyster reader will make travelling easier.

:03:08.:03:10.

But critics say the system could lead to confusion. Here's otr

:03:11.:03:12.

transport correspondent, Tol Edwards. For the millions of

:03:13.:03:21.

commuters who use the tube `nd the train in London every day there s

:03:22.:03:27.

now another way to pay. Contactless bank cards are now accepted. It will

:03:28.:03:34.

be the same fare as Oyster. Anything that extends payments withott having

:03:35.:03:38.

to carry cash in your pocket is amazing. I am scared if you use

:03:39.:03:44.

contactless you spend money you don't realise how much you `re

:03:45.:03:47.

spending on. That's the biggest thing that puts me off. London is at

:03:48.:03:52.

the forefront of ticketing technology. Bank cards are `lready

:03:53.:03:56.

accepted on the buses. One of the big advantages of using a

:03:57.:04:00.

contactless card over Oyster is that has a weekly cap. That means in

:04:01.:04:06.

effect it is a weekly travelcard. Also the technology is more

:04:07.:04:10.

flexible, so you will start to see it used in phones, and one bank has

:04:11.:04:17.

devised these, wristbands. Transport for London will see savings if more

:04:18.:04:24.

use bank cards. The downsidd is what's being called card cl`sh,

:04:25.:04:28.

where the wrong card in your wallet is charged. That could mean a

:04:29.:04:33.

maximum fare of ?8.40. What customers need to do to avohd card

:04:34.:04:39.

clash is only present the c`rd you intend to use for travel. If the

:04:40.:04:47.

event you will get card clash, we will attempt to correct it

:04:48.:04:52.

automatically, if not get in touch with us. If there are too m`ny

:04:53.:04:57.

incidences of the card clash or charged for journeys people didn't

:04:58.:05:02.

make, the take`up might not work, but if it goes smoothly it lay be a

:05:03.:05:08.

big thing. The banks insist the system is secure. We have sden tiny

:05:09.:05:20.

fraud losses on contactless cards. They don't even bear speaking about.

:05:21.:05:26.

People should been comfortable using it. There are concerns that could be

:05:27.:05:31.

the beginning of the end of Oyster Cards. It is expecting huge numbers

:05:32.:05:36.

of commuters to switch to using bank cards.

:05:37.:05:39.

Some of London's universitids have been ranked among the best hn the

:05:40.:05:43.

world. Latest ratings show two in the top five. Imperial Colldge was

:05:44.:05:45.

second, which means it's now considered better than Harv`rd in

:05:46.:05:48.

the US. University College London was ranked joint fifth. The capital

:05:49.:05:54.

has more universities in thd top 100 than any other city in the world.

Being headquartered here in London and having our main activithes in

London gives us a fantastic base. Not least because there are other

:06:07.:06:11.

good academic institutions here we partner with and compete with.

Thursday and Friday, slightly different. Thursday, still looking

when temperatures peak. There's a risk of showers. By Friday, they are

This cloud looks worse than it is. Glitching the extreme south-west

that never cleared the North Sea coasts is pushing through the gaps,

:08:11.:08:15.

running on to high ground. We'll have clearer skies further west but

the low cloud is more extensive leading to mist and fog over hills

and coasts in the east, where we could have drizzle. Another warm ni
