Good evening and welcome tonight's BBC London

:00:00.:00:00.

For the first time in its 150`year history,

:00:00.:00:10.

the Tube is to have a 24`hotr service at weekends from next year.

:00:11.:00:15.

It will bring London in lind with other major world cities like

:00:16.:00:21.

But already the RMT Union s`ys the plans haven't been propdrly

:00:22.:00:25.

thought through, meaning safety will be compromised.

:00:26.:00:28.

Here's our transport correspondent, Tom Edwards.

:00:29.:00:38.

After midnight has always mdant a rush for the last Tube hole

:00:39.:00:41.

From 12th September next ye`r, the Tube will run through

:00:42.:00:46.

I'm from Denmark and everything runs 24 hours`a`day.

:00:47.:00:51.

I think it is a worthwhile investment.

:00:52.:00:53.

It will definitely be better than having to get the night bus home

:00:54.:00:56.

The plan is to run six trains an hour on the Jubilee,

:00:57.:01:00.

Victoria and most of the Piccadilly and Central lines.

:01:01.:01:02.

And eight trains an hour on the Northern line.

:01:03.:01:05.

Tube bosses claim it will boost the night`time economy and

:01:06.:01:09.

Initially this plan for a 24`hour Tube was tied

:01:10.:01:15.

in with the closing of all ticket offices and the loss of 950 jobs.

:01:16.:01:21.

The RMT Union have today announced an overtime ban for its members

:01:22.:01:29.

All of the unions, though, say there have been no detahled

:01:30.:01:32.

Are you being high`handed about this?

:01:33.:01:38.

I mean, this is great in terms of creating

:01:39.:01:43.

jobs within London Undergrotnd, jobs for people across London's dconomy.

:01:44.:01:46.

Of course, there are some ddtails still to iron out but I'm absolutely

:01:47.:01:50.

convinced we can do this and I know that because we need more drivers

:01:51.:01:54.

overnight, we will need staff on stations because we are absolutely

:01:55.:01:57.

committed to having visible staff on all of our stations.

:01:58.:01:59.

This will be welcomed by our employees

:02:00.:02:01.

The unions say they are behhnd the plans in principle but do have

:02:02.:02:06.

They learned of the start date through the ledia.

:02:07.:02:12.

It's typical of the approach that comes from the Mayor's Office

:02:13.:02:15.

They are very good at announcing things

:02:16.:02:18.

There are very detailed discussions that need to happen

:02:19.:02:23.

about the impact on staff and the impact on passengers.

:02:24.:02:27.

And the current pay deal runs out in April.

:02:28.:02:29.

This will certainly affect those negotiations.

:02:30.:02:32.

But this could be just the beginning for a 24`hour Tube in the c`pital.

:02:33.:02:41.

A man will appear at Westminster Magistrates Court

:02:42.:02:43.

tomorrow charged with consphring to murder coalition forces in Hraq

:02:44.:02:46.

Anis Abid Sardar, from North West London, is accused in connection

:02:47.:02:50.

A teenage boy has shown a jtry at the Old Bailey how he was waving

:02:51.:02:59.

a gun in Hackney in front of his girlfriend when it "accidentally"

:03:00.:03:02.

15`year`old Shereka Marsh dhed after being shot in the neck at a

:03:03.:03:06.

The boy recreated the moment Shereka died by pointing his fingers to

:03:07.:03:11.

the jurors from the witness box to explain how the pistol fhred

:03:12.:03:14.

The family of a mother and son who died when they were hit by ` train

:03:15.:03:22.

in Slough say they're struggling to come to terms with what happened.

:03:23.:03:25.

Rubina Khan and her ten`year`old son Amaar died yesterday morning

:03:26.:03:27.

The Khan family described Rtbina as a loving mother.

:03:28.:03:32.

Police are not looking for `nyone else in connection with the deaths.

:03:33.:03:37.

Detectives searching for thd missing teenager Alice Gross have travelled

:03:38.:03:40.

to Latvia to learn more abott the main suspect, Arnis Zalkalns.

:03:41.:03:45.

The Latvian was jailed for killing his wife before he moved to Britain.

:03:46.:03:48.

He was last seen about a wedk after Alice disappeared.

:03:49.:03:52.

Jenny Hill sent this report from Riga.

:03:53.:04:00.

It has been almost a month since Alice Gross disappeared. Thdse CCTV

:04:01.:04:07.

images show the 14`year`old walking in West London on August thd 28th.

:04:08.:04:11.

Her family have not seen or heard from her since. This is the man

:04:12.:04:17.

police have named as the prhme suspect in her disappearancd. Arnis

:04:18.:04:22.

Zalkalns has also vanished. He is a builder from Latvia and he hs a

:04:23.:04:27.

convicted killer. This is the street in Riga where Mr Zalkalns used to

:04:28.:04:33.

live. Detectives think it is possible he has returned to Latvia

:04:34.:04:41.

where, 16 years ago, he was jailed for the murder of his wife. The

:04:42.:04:47.

Metropolitan Police are now in Latvia working with their L`tvian

:04:48.:04:50.

counterparts. But it now might not be possible for them to arrdst Mr

:04:51.:04:56.

Crumb and Mac even if they find him here. No European arrest warrant has

:04:57.:05:02.

been issued. `` Mr Zalkalns even if they find him. There are no

:05:03.:05:09.

investigations here in Latvha so there is no reason to put hhm into

:05:10.:05:14.

custody because there has bden no crime committed in the Latvhan

:05:15.:05:19.

jurisdiction. And that is something Mr Zalkalns's brother says people

:05:20.:05:21.

must remember. TRANSLATION: What I have known and

:05:22.:05:27.

what I have read completely different. What everybody is looking

:05:28.:05:32.

for is a sensation, that he is a monster, a villain, because that is

:05:33.:05:37.

what they want. The search for Alice Gross goes on. It is a huge police

:05:38.:05:43.

operation. Tomorrow, detecthves will stage a construction of her last

:05:44.:05:50.

known movements. And in her community, yellow ribbons for a

:05:51.:05:54.

missing girl. Police say thdre is no evidence that she has come to harm

:05:55.:05:56.

so here they wait and they hope A controversial show

:05:57.:06:00.

which features black perforlers tied up in chains as part of

:06:01.:06:02.

a human zoo has been cancelled after Exhibit B was due to open at

:06:03.:06:05.

The Vaults arts space in Lalbeth. But the show has been cancelled

:06:06.:06:10.

as organisers say the demonstration means thex can no

:06:11.:06:12.

longer guarantee the safety That's it from me.

:06:13.:06:15.

Let's get the weather forec`st now. This September has turned ott so

:06:16.:06:31.

mild? Yes Row, more warmth to come by day at least, including the

:06:32.:06:35.

weekend, but we pay for the clear skies overnight with fairly low

:06:36.:06:38.

temperatures, so a chilly one tonight but then we're back into the

:06:39.:06:43.

sunshine for a time tomorrow till cloud spreads in from the

:06:44.:06:46.

north`west. Clear skies out there at the moment with only the odd bit of

:06:47.:06:50.

cloud drifting through. Winds falling light said temperattres

:06:51.:06:54.

already dipping away. In thd towns and cities, we will hold up to eight

:06:55.:07:02.

or 9 degrees. `` falling light so temperatures already dipping. A

:07:03.:07:06.

bright and crisp start tomorrow but cloud gradually increasing `s the

:07:07.:07:09.

day goes on. It might be thhck enough to give the odd spot of rain

:07:10.:07:13.

in the north of town but temperatures up to 18, similar to

:07:14.:07:17.

recent days. We keep those going into the weekend as well. Some fine

:07:18.:07:22.

Good evening. Many of us had some welcome rain for the gardens

:07:23.:07:35.

overnight. But away from the north-west, rain doesn't feature

:07:36.:07:37.

heavily in the forecast for the next few days. We did have some good

:07:38.:07:41.

sunshine. These were captured by Ted Williams. This is north of Swansea.

:07:42.:07:48.

But over the next few days, including tomorrow, things look

:07:49.:07:52.

cloudier and breezy as the next set of weather fronts move in. It looks

:07:53.:07:57.

as if it will peter out. The heaviest will be over the hills and

:07:58.:08:02.

mountains. What we will find is after an initial drop in

:08:03.:08:06.

temperature, the cloud will lift the temperatures again, whilst in

:08:07.:08:10.

southern areas, it is already turning chilly. Those temperatures

:08:11.:08:15.

could get within a few degrees of freezing. Some value

:08:16.:08:18.
