including a first look at tomorrow's headlines on the BBC News

Channel. Have a very good night Good evening from BBC London News.

I'm Louisa Preston. People around the world have been

taking Here in London, thousands joined a

march Gareth Furby followed one

family from Cricklewood who For the McDonald family from

Cricklewood, this was a special day for two reasons. They were joining

the march. We are certainly not eco-warriors but we know the way we

are living is unsustainable. And it was a special birthday for mum.

Happy birthday, ma'am. Thank you. I am 40 and that feels grown-up and

this felt like a grown-up thing to do, to do something important. They

joined thousands of people for the march. Joining the rally, the singer

Lita Grey Beale -- Peter Gabriel who says he is switching to a greener

lifestyle. I am looking at my house and studio and changing energy

sources. I am looking at the way I conduct myself and how much energy I

can seem, with the festival and tours. But how do the organisers

deal with measurements that show that something happened recently

with the long-term trend. More than 15 years ago, for some reason,

temperatures stopped rising. The majority of the world's scientists

say that as a temporary pause. We need to act and starting now. For

one family it was a day out to remember and happy birthday for mum.

In the wake of the Scottish "No" vote,

devolving more power to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland has been

But what about the other UK assembly - the one here in London?

Should City Hall enjoy extra powers in the near future?

London has half the population of Scotland and economy twice the size

so when London was offered more powers, it was inevitable it would

want some too. On Friday morning, that was hinted that it may be on

the cards. It is also important that we have wider civic engagement about

how to improve governments throughout the United Kingdom. And

rightly so say some conservatives who think the time is right for

change. London will need to stand up as well including England and that

means having sufficient powers to assure London has a fair deal.

London already has a voice, its own regional Assembly at City Hall. It

has powers over things like transport and polluting. What more

does want? Particularly the ability to hold onto tax as it raises and

says this could be used to build more homes and infrastructure

projects. At the moment 93% of money London raises in taxes is handed

over to the government. Compare that to New York which is allowed to keep

half its revenues. Could London s layers of government mean it is not

ready for devolution? The problem with the London model is the

borrowers and the Assembly, there are different layers of bureaucracy.

This may not be London's biggest obstacle. The Prime Minister's focus

now maybe getting a deal for London as a whole. I do not think it would

be right to give the powers to London that are going to Scotland as

a whole. I think they should reside in England as a whole. People are

telling me they want justice for England. We are fed up with our

country not being on the map and not having a voice. So London may have

to wait its turn in this devolution giveaway.

Well, a lovely day in London, let?s find out what next week has

Hello, a fresh start for the new working week. Some clout will bubble

up but we should get some decent sunny spells. -- cloud. Staying

settled for much of next week. Chile at night.

That is it. We will be back tomorrow in Breakfast. From all of us on the
