:00:55. > :01:20.with me, Riz Lateef. First, the logician who says the
:01:21. > :01:24.only way to prevent costs at the big stadium spiralling is to knock it
:01:25. > :01:25.down and rebuild it is something suitable for purpose -- the
:01:26. > :01:28.politician. The criticism comes after the Mayor
:01:29. > :01:30.of London, Sadiq Khan, ordered an investigation
:01:31. > :01:32.into the rising cost to taxpayers of what is now the home
:01:33. > :01:35.of the Premier League football club West Ham.

:01:50. > :01:53.every penny. Four years on, there's been problems with access, crowd
:01:54. > :02:00.disturbances and now the revelation of further expense to run the venue.
:02:01. > :02:04.It cost ?272 million to convert the big stadium into a home for West
:02:05. > :02:09.Ham, just ?15 million came from the new league club, the rest from the
:02:10. > :02:14.public purse. A further ?51 million will now be required from the
:02:15. > :02:19.taxpayer. I have ordered an investigation to find that what has
:02:20. > :02:24.gone on in the past, work ddcisions taken poorly, where the negotiations
:02:25. > :02:30.done properly, also to find financial solutions going forward,
:02:31. > :02:33.every summer we will spend lillions in retractable seating and other
:02:34. > :02:38.issues, the question is, whx weren't these things known before? Loving
:02:39. > :02:43.the steeds were supposed to cost ?300,000 a year. Now it emerged the

:03:02. > :03:05.surface and rebuild something that suitable but it's purpose. H know
:03:06. > :03:08.that sounds bizarre when yot are talking about hundreds of mhllions

:03:41. > :03:45.massively generous contract, the blame solely lies with the people
:03:46. > :03:50.who signed off on the contr`ct and that's why this enquiry is so

:05:01. > :05:04.Michael Sylvester from Plaistow says he was stopped and his boat boarded
:05:05. > :05:10.without consent when he was on a day trip with friends and children.
:05:11. > :05:12.The reason they stop us is because they

:05:30. > :05:36.If you can answer the questhons about who is on the boat...

:06:18. > :06:20.The Met has a very different view of this incident, saying

:07:17. > :07:18.everything is OK and everything is appropriate.
:07:19. > :07:20.A change may come as early as next year.

:10:25. > :10:26.Do you accept it could look as if you were scaremongering?
:10:27. > :10:28.I don't think we were scaremongering.

:12:37. > :12:40.the industry after a tricky start of the year. For many retailers, Brexit

:13:52. > :13:54.Spending habits may not be changing dramatically but the high streets
:13:55. > :13:57.also have to content with competition from online shopping and
:13:58. > :14:00.while there might be a boon to look forward to now, business rate
:14:01. > :14:09.increases and the continuing fallout from Brexit mean the forecast for

:21:13. > :21:16.has decided to get some of those early pioneers who worked on the
:21:17. > :21:20.first television broadcasts and put them in a room over their four Tea
:21:21. > :21:25.Party. There are some real characters with great storids. It
:21:26. > :21:30.was a meeting of the unsung legends, one told me about his father, who
:21:31. > :21:34.helped the first ever broadcast Did you or your father ever think
:21:35. > :21:39.television would have the ilpact it would have around the world from
:21:40. > :21:44.this humble home in Alexandra Palace? I am sure he had no idea,
:21:45. > :21:50.and I have seen it grow, but for him, I wouldn't think so. Btt TV did
:21:51. > :21:58.take over the world. At the age of 12 you were on the BBC in 1837, any
:21:59. > :22:05.memories of that? Vivid memories. I remember the dressing room `t the
:22:06. > :22:09.back, Leslie Mitchell announced me... I was in the middle and I let
:22:10. > :22:19.my mother sit on the side, ht wasn't a stage, was it? What are your
:22:20. > :22:22.memories of the dress? The dress for my first television appearance, I
:22:23. > :22:28.created quite a stir in the studio! Because I turned up in a bl`ck
:22:29. > :22:33.evening dress and in those days television couldn't take th`t so
:22:34. > :22:39.they were scurrying all arotnd the place to buy something, somdone came
:22:40. > :22:50.up with a very bright, flowdred scarf and they draped it ovdr me.
:22:51. > :22:57.Any advice from either the future? No secret, just hard work and worry!
:22:58. > :23:02.Some good advice from hell `nd there. This is one of the e`rliest
:23:03. > :23:07.cameras the BBC used. Some of you may be familiar with this, one of
:23:08. > :23:13.the old BBC cameras, it's great being hit, like a big toy shop. You
:23:14. > :23:18.are the Chief Executive of @lexandra Palace, what a great time to be
:23:19. > :23:22.here! It's great to celebrate the 80th anniversary, such a grdat event
:23:23. > :23:26.in the history of Alexandra Palace. This really gives us a appe`rance of
:23:27. > :23:34.the past. But what does the future hold for the BBC here? Todax's
:23:35. > :23:37.events are the start of our build-up to the opening of the visitor
:23:38. > :23:41.attraction in 2018 which will celebrate all of this history and
:23:42. > :23:44.heritage that happened here as part of the major East Wing restoration
:23:45. > :23:50.which will have a new theatre and a new place for the public to enjoy,
:23:51. > :23:54.but today is about celebrathng that heritage. So it's not about getting
:23:55. > :24:00.rid of the BBC's presents hdre. You are keeping it alive. We've had so
:24:01. > :24:04.many people passionate about bringing this history to life, about
:24:05. > :24:09.the BBC at the Palace, we wouldn't get away with not doing it. The BBC
:24:10. > :24:15.is part of how the building looks and the history is so important to
:24:16. > :24:17.us. How lovely was it to spdak to some of those pioneers of broadcast,
:24:18. > :24:22.such lovely people with gre`t stories. That's a real opportunity
:24:23. > :24:27.for us, to tell their storids, the people behind the camera, in front
:24:28. > :24:32.of the camera, what that tells us about society, communication and
:24:33. > :24:35.broadcast and how it moved on. Thank you for letting us be here today,
:24:36. > :24:39.it's been wonderful for me hf you want to come down to Alexandra
:24:40. > :24:45.Palace, it is open seven daxs a week, do recommend it. You sound
:24:46. > :24:47.like you have enjoyed yoursdlf! 80 years of broadcasting, what a day.
:24:48. > :24:53.Time now for a check on the weather and John Hammond is here.
:24:54. > :25:01.Southern chilly but sunny wdather, it's been grew yesterday across the
:25:02. > :25:09.capital. Beautiful blue skids and crisp sunshine across the London
:25:10. > :25:12.area, this fantastic picturd. The sun has set the temperatures are
:25:13. > :25:18.falling dramatically, a lot of cloud skating across northern and eastern
:25:19. > :25:22.parts of the UK but missing us so all the heat escapes into space and
:25:23. > :25:31.temperatures will plummet over the next few hours. If anything, colder
:25:32. > :25:38.than last night, I think thd night will be a couple of degrees lower in
:25:39. > :25:46.some places, we could get 2,3 general spots. One or two thick
:25:47. > :25:52.patches of folk, particularly out of town. Cold and frosty start. Some
:25:53. > :25:58.blue sky through the morning, wants the fog shifted away stop the cloud
:25:59. > :26:02.will increase a little bit `cross more north-western parts of the
:26:03. > :26:06.area, as we get into the afternoon, but I think it will stay drx with
:26:07. > :26:13.brightness holding on. But temperatures will never get
:26:14. > :26:18.spectacularly high. Shouldn't feel too bad, but we go back into another
:26:19. > :26:27.chilly night, not as cold tomorrow night, because we have more cloud
:26:28. > :26:30.around and bits and pieces of rain. All courtesy of this area of low
:26:31. > :26:34.pressure, that's going across the country, across our patch as we go
:26:35. > :26:40.into Saturday, so expect sole showers. This weekend, a lot of
:26:41. > :26:41.fireworks parties, if you are going out, it will be a chilly wind and
:26:42. > :26:52.the chance of showers. Our headlines: the conditions in
:26:53. > :26:57.English and Welsh prisons h`s been likened to a bloodbath by the head
:26:58. > :27:02.of the prison officers Association. The government is set to unveil its
:27:03. > :27:06.plans for prison reform tomorrow. The Prime Minister has described the
:27:07. > :27:09.fur is utterly outrageous for banning English and Scottish players
:27:10. > :27:16.from wearing poppies -- described briefer. And the cost of thd
:27:17. > :27:20.taxpayer of converting the Olympic Stadium for use by West Ham has been
:27:21. > :27:25.branded astronomical by the chairman of the Commons sports committee The
:27:26. > :27:34.Mayor has ordered an investhgation into the spiralling costs. That s
:27:35. > :27:38.all the now. More on our website. Or join the conversation on our
