:00:08. > :00:10.Tonight on BBC London News - millions of commuters face major

:00:11. > :00:16.travel disruption as talks to avert a Tube strike breakdown.

:00:17. > :00:22.Nightmare, absolute nightmare. It stinks, it is not good especially

:00:23. > :00:25.with what is going on with Southern at the moment.

:00:26. > :00:28.So where does this leave the Mayor's relationship with the tube unions?

:00:29. > :00:30.Also tonight - a claim that people died after a computer meltdown

:00:31. > :00:33.at the London Ambulance service on New Year's Day.

:00:34. > :00:35.The people of London were failed on New Year's Eve.

:00:36. > :00:37.They were watching their loved ones and their friends

:00:38. > :00:41.suffering, waiting, not knowing if and when help is going to arrive.

:00:42. > :00:43.They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace -

:00:44. > :00:48.the security measures bringing about a change in tradition.

:00:49. > :01:00.hoping for a giant killing - we speak to one of the FA Cup's

:01:01. > :01:13.Good evening and welcome to the programme.

:01:14. > :01:18.Millions of commuters face major travel disruption next week

:01:19. > :01:22.after talks to avert a 24-hour Tube strike collapsed this afternoon.

:01:23. > :01:25.Industrial action is due to start on Sunday and will pretty much

:01:26. > :01:28.shut down all Zone 1 stations on Monday.

:01:29. > :01:31.The ongoing row is over job cuts and the closure of ticket offices.

:01:32. > :01:36.Here's our Transport Correspondent, Tom Edwards.

:01:37. > :01:41.Arriving for talks, there was some optimism that this

:01:42. > :01:44.long-running, acrimonious dispute could be resolved.

:01:45. > :01:51.Is this about the unions showing the mayor who is boss?

:01:52. > :01:53.Absolutely not, it is about having a safe London Underground

:01:54. > :01:56.for the 4 million people that use it nearly every day.

:01:57. > :01:59.This dispute goes back to the closure of the Tube ticket

:02:00. > :02:01.offices under the previous mayor Boris Johnson in 2015.

:02:02. > :02:05.The unions always hated the policy, saying it was unsafe,

:02:06. > :02:14.But the closures happened and around 840 jobs went.

:02:15. > :02:17.London Underground says it saves ?50 million annually.

:02:18. > :02:21.Now under a new mayor, both sides agree more staff

:02:22. > :02:24.are needed on the Tube but the sticking point is how many

:02:25. > :02:31.And by three o'clock, talks had collapsed.

:02:32. > :02:35.No agreement on extra station staff numbers.

:02:36. > :02:42.Very disappointed to find London Underground were unable today

:02:43. > :02:45.to put one additional job on the table that they

:02:46. > :02:47.hadn't put on before. A miserable response

:02:48. > :02:50.from them to a crisis across London Underground stations.

:02:51. > :02:53.We are now in a total crisis situation, so there needs to be

:02:54. > :02:56.something fairly drastic immediately as well as a longer-term solution

:02:57. > :03:02.Tonight, commuters were disappointed.

:03:03. > :03:05.From the last strikes, there were hours of delays.

:03:06. > :03:08.It took like four hours when normally takes like half an hour.

:03:09. > :03:14.These strikes are not good, especially with what has

:03:15. > :03:20.The bad news for commuters is there is going to be considerable

:03:21. > :03:25.disruption from Sunday at 6pm and all day Monday.

:03:26. > :03:29.On Monday, all Tube stations in Zone 1 will be shut.

:03:30. > :03:32.The Victoria and the Waterloo City lines won't run.

:03:33. > :03:35.And there will be a severely reduced service on all other lines,

:03:36. > :03:43.What we will be doing is adding 50 additional buses

:03:44. > :03:47.What we will be doing is adding 150 additional buses

:03:48. > :03:53.We are putting our travel ambassadors out into the stations

:03:54. > :03:56.as well, to help to give people advice and our clear advice

:03:57. > :03:59.to people is to make sure that they check before they travel

:04:00. > :04:04.All sides concede a lack of staff on the Tube is a problem and this

:04:05. > :04:07.strike is a blow to the new mayor who wanted better

:04:08. > :04:15.It is also a blow to commuters who face wretched journeys next week.

:04:16. > :04:18.Well, our Political Correspondent, Karl Mercer, joins me now.

:04:19. > :04:24.Karl - a new year, a new Mayor but the same old story on the Tube.

:04:25. > :04:35.And one that has haunted previous mares at City Hall as well. Sadiq

:04:36. > :04:38.Khan spent a lot of his first eight months saying that he wanted to talk

:04:39. > :04:44.to unions, that was how to avoid strikes. In February he told a

:04:45. > :04:47.newspaper that he would be the mayor who delivered zero days of strikes

:04:48. > :04:52.on the Tube. That clearly hasn't happened. They believe Transport for

:04:53. > :04:57.London had offered a good deal on this. When I caught up with him

:04:58. > :04:58.earlier, I put it to him, what would it mean if the strikes were to go

:04:59. > :05:01.ahead. Will it be a sign of personal

:05:02. > :05:05.failure if this strike did go ahead? You've put a lot of store by their

:05:06. > :05:08.not being strikes on your watch. I think strikes are

:05:09. > :05:11.a failure on all sides. If strikes take place and that

:05:12. > :05:14.means trade unions, TFL, all of us have failed

:05:15. > :05:16.in resolving this amicably. Acas are doing their bit

:05:17. > :05:19.and the trade unions have been doing their bit to give them credit,

:05:20. > :05:22.they have been talking. They have been speaking

:05:23. > :05:26.on Wednesday, Thursday and today and we are going

:05:27. > :05:28.to carry on talking. It can't be beyond our width

:05:29. > :05:37.to resolve this amicably. We have heard since one of the

:05:38. > :05:42.unions will be back talking tomorrow, the RMT will not be back

:05:43. > :05:45.on the mayor has given us an updated statement saying the strikes are

:05:46. > :05:51.unnecessary and he urges the unions to call it. He says it will cause

:05:52. > :05:56.misery and disruption to millions of Londoners. It is not the end of the

:05:57. > :05:59.dispute either, remember. All the latest on that as it happens.

:06:00. > :06:01.And of course the Tube network isn't the only rail system

:06:02. > :06:07.We are broadcasting a special debate about the ongoing rail

:06:08. > :06:09.crisis with Southern - you'll be able to watch that

:06:10. > :06:15.on Monday 9th January at 7.30pm here on BBC One.

:06:16. > :06:18.Lots more to come including - the nightclub that was closed

:06:19. > :06:21.after a number of drug-related deaths reopens with

:06:22. > :06:37.A whistle-blower has claimed that people lost their lives as a result

:06:38. > :06:41.of a computer failure at the London Ambulance Service.

:06:42. > :06:44.BBC News can reveal that at least one 999 patient died

:06:45. > :06:47.during the technical failure in the early hours

:06:48. > :06:52.The service say staff were trained effectively in using a manual

:06:53. > :06:54.back-up system and continued to prioritise patients

:06:55. > :06:59.in the same way. Jon Ironmonger reports.

:07:00. > :07:02.With an investigation under way into the technical meltdown

:07:03. > :07:04.at the London Ambulance Service, one death is now being looked

:07:05. > :07:07.at to see if the computer problems were a contributing factor.

:07:08. > :07:10.The BBC has heard damning claims from a whistle-blower that the real

:07:11. > :07:17.The people of London were failed on New Year's Eve.

:07:18. > :07:20.They were watching their loved ones and their friends suffering,

:07:21. > :07:23.waiting, not knowing if and when help

:07:24. > :07:30.Do you think there is a chance that people might have died as a result

:07:31. > :07:32.of this computer failure? Without a shadow of a doubt.

:07:33. > :07:35.If you've had a cardiac arrest, we aim to get

:07:36. > :07:37.you within eight minutes. It wouldn't have happened.

:07:38. > :07:44.Shortly after midnight when the streets of London

:07:45. > :07:49.were packed with people, the multi-million pound computer

:07:50. > :07:52.system which logs emergencies and assigns ambulances, collapsed.

:07:53. > :07:55.For five hours, control staff were forced to process hundreds

:07:56. > :08:01.The service say they had been given effective training.

:08:02. > :08:04.The BBC has seen leaked photographs of the internal staff Facebook page

:08:05. > :08:07.which suggests that some employees felt under extreme pressure

:08:08. > :08:10.on New Year's Day, one member questions why so many patients

:08:11. > :08:13.had to suffer, while workers are described as being

:08:14. > :08:16.in tears, shell-shocked, frustrated and angry.

:08:17. > :08:21.Staff are trained to cope in the event of technical

:08:22. > :08:25.difficulties and it is not the first time that the computer

:08:26. > :08:30.But never before, we understand, for such a long period

:08:31. > :08:36.We are very sorry to anyone who experienced delays during those

:08:37. > :08:38.issues on New Year's Day, we are obviously taking

:08:39. > :08:41.the matter very seriously. And to that end, we have

:08:42. > :08:44.launched a full and comments extended investigation.

:08:45. > :08:47.In 2015, the London Ambulance Service was placed

:08:48. > :08:53.Since then, it has taken steps to improve.

:08:54. > :08:55.The Care Quality Commission said it would follow up concerns

:08:56. > :08:58.about control room problems during a planned

:08:59. > :09:05.It's a British tradition which has become one of London's most popular

:09:06. > :09:11.But the Changing of the Guard is to be 'changed' -

:09:12. > :09:14.under new security measures brought in by the Met.

:09:15. > :09:17.Frankie McCamley is at Buckingham Palace with more on this.

:09:18. > :09:34.Police here say there is no evidence of a planned attack here. However,

:09:35. > :09:37.they have decided to bring in extra security measures early because they

:09:38. > :09:47.have been taking into account those planned terror attacks in Berlin and

:09:48. > :09:54.Nice which were particularly targeted at large crowds of people.

:09:55. > :09:55.The hope is, that this age-old tradition will continue to run as

:09:56. > :09:59.smoothly as possible. It's one of London's

:10:00. > :10:02.most popular ceremonies, dating back to the 17th century,

:10:03. > :10:06.when the old guard responsible for protecting Buckingham Palace

:10:07. > :10:09.and St James' Park formally hands over responsibilities

:10:10. > :10:13.to the new soldiers on duty. Thousands of people come to see

:10:14. > :10:17.the Changing of the Guard every single week but those crowds, paired

:10:18. > :10:21.with the location of this ceremony at Buckingham Palace,

:10:22. > :10:24.makes this a high-profile With a bomb attack in the '80s

:10:25. > :10:31.by the IRA leaving 11 soldiers and seven horses dead,

:10:32. > :10:34.with many more injured. And since, the recent attacks

:10:35. > :10:38.in Europe have led to security Extra barriers are being put

:10:39. > :10:46.in place, the roads around Buckingham Palace are to remain

:10:47. > :10:49.closed throughout the ceremony and the days the Changing

:10:50. > :10:51.of the Guard takes place It will make the area and that

:10:52. > :10:58.event considerably safer. The intention of the police

:10:59. > :11:04.in planning for this is to protect the public,

:11:05. > :11:07.protect crowds that gather for this iconic occasion

:11:08. > :11:12.and in creating distance, closing roads, stopping hostile

:11:13. > :11:15.vehicles getting near the event will obviously make it safer

:11:16. > :11:20.for everybody attending. It's also hoped the Changing

:11:21. > :11:23.will make it easier for drivers It is very sad but it seems

:11:24. > :11:28.like a sign of the times. Because here we are in London

:11:29. > :11:31.and we are just as likely to have a terrorist attack

:11:32. > :11:33.as anywhere else It surprises me that they want

:11:34. > :11:38.to put it on the same day every week because that seems rather

:11:39. > :11:40.predictable and I would have thought they would want to be a bit less

:11:41. > :11:43.predictable than that. If you are going to put

:11:44. > :11:45.more guards around it, you make people more

:11:46. > :11:47.nervous around things. They would rather have more manpower

:11:48. > :11:52.implemented on the place so that they can move

:11:53. > :11:57.around between the crowd so that they can move around

:11:58. > :12:00.between the crowd and check things. The main security measures are now

:12:01. > :12:03.undergoing a three-month trial. If successful, they could become

:12:04. > :12:05.a permanent fixture in the capital. Video footage of a teenager

:12:06. > :12:08.being attacked in a Brixton takeaway The 18-year-old was stabbed

:12:09. > :12:14.and whipped with a belt in Dallas Chicken on 2nd January

:12:15. > :12:17.by three masked men. One man has been arrested,

:12:18. > :12:24.but the Met are hoping this CCTV will help find

:12:25. > :12:28.the four other suspects. A new victim of the Hatton Garden

:12:29. > :12:31.burglary has come forward - claiming to have lost up

:12:32. > :12:35.to ?7 million. The heist - over the Easter Bank

:12:36. > :12:38.Holiday weekend of 2015 - is believed to be Britain's

:12:39. > :12:42.biggest ever burglary. If this new claim is true - the sum

:12:43. > :12:45.stolen would reach ?21 million. The six men convicted of taking part

:12:46. > :12:48.in the heist were sentenced to between six and seven

:12:49. > :12:52.years in prison. An explosion on a boat in south-east

:12:53. > :12:55.London sparked a huge fire It took more than 80 fire fighters

:12:56. > :13:02.to control the blaze which spread The former Royal Navy minesweeper

:13:03. > :13:09.was being used as an arts venue, after being salvaged by a group

:13:10. > :13:11.of friends almost 20 years ago. The cause of the fire

:13:12. > :13:15.is under investigation. One of London's most famous

:13:16. > :13:18.nightclubs is to re-open this evening after it was closed

:13:19. > :13:22.because of safety concerns. Fabric in Islington was criticised

:13:23. > :13:25.and had its licence taken away after a number

:13:26. > :13:29.of drug-related deaths. Its owners say a raft of strict

:13:30. > :13:31.new security measures Marc Ashdown's report

:13:32. > :13:39.contains flashing images. Once voted the best club

:13:40. > :13:43.in the world, the party The doors reopened for the first

:13:44. > :13:48.time tonight after its forced closure last year following

:13:49. > :13:50.the drug-related deaths Its owner says the past

:13:51. > :13:59.year has been tough. I don't think there is any kind

:14:00. > :14:02.of pleasure or relief that we have We are obviously delighted

:14:03. > :14:07.we will be reopening but I don't think we will be looking back over

:14:08. > :14:10.this particular chapter with any kind of fond memories,

:14:11. > :14:12.let's just say that. Islington Council took away

:14:13. > :14:15.the club's license in September, Fabric had been involved in six

:14:16. > :14:21.drug-related deaths in four years. The drug culture was

:14:22. > :14:26.prevalent in the old club These deaths, theae are real people

:14:27. > :14:34.and this is a real family that has been devastated.

:14:35. > :14:37.It is my job to protect people. An inquest this week heard how

:14:38. > :14:43.18-year-old Jack Crosley died after smuggling drugs into the club

:14:44. > :14:46.in his underwear. Today was just about understanding

:14:47. > :14:48.what happened to Jack, how it happened and how we can avoid

:14:49. > :15:01.it happening to anyone If Fabric shuts, there will be

:15:02. > :15:05.another club opening up, another venue. There is a new scanning

:15:06. > :15:10.system and there will be tougher security searches. Once inside the

:15:11. > :15:15.club, there is better lighting, more CCTV and covert security staff will

:15:16. > :15:19.be patrolling and anyone caught in possession of drugs, faces a

:15:20. > :15:26.lifetime ban. 150,000 people signed a petition to save the club,

:15:27. > :15:30.including top DJs and artists. This isn't only a club, if you look at

:15:31. > :15:34.pop music today or pop culture, drugs are littered throughout the

:15:35. > :15:38.entire culture. So the idea that dance music culture is to blame is

:15:39. > :15:44.ridiculous. Extra police will be patrolling tonight for the grand

:15:45. > :15:47.reopening. The club insist it will operate a zero tolerance policy. It

:15:48. > :15:49.is up to customers to make sure it stays open.

:15:50. > :16:04.From London stadium where it is West Ham against Manchester City tonight.

:16:05. > :16:06.To Sutton united taking on AFC Wimbledon, we will be looking at the

:16:07. > :16:08.FA Cup third round weekend. And after a couple of cold, crisp

:16:09. > :16:11.mornings, it is out with the frost and in with the cloud

:16:12. > :16:13.for the weekend. All this week we've been looking

:16:14. > :16:23.ahead to the Government's crucial Brexit negotiations in March

:16:24. > :16:26.and what they may Immigration and the free movement

:16:27. > :16:32.of people from the EU will feature So - would it be damaging to London

:16:33. > :16:38.if we saw the end of unlimited We'll be discussing that

:16:39. > :16:43.in a moment, but first here are the views

:16:44. > :16:59.of two London firms. We employ about 240 people and about

:17:00. > :17:09.70% UK, 20% Europe and 10% rest of the world. My vote was to stay in

:17:10. > :17:14.but I am quite excited and there are lots of good things happening as a

:17:15. > :17:20.result of moving out. The reality is, any restrictions, we will

:17:21. > :17:26.manage. We have got 60 million people in the UK and we can work

:17:27. > :17:29.with them. We have 10% of our staff coming from either side of Europe so

:17:30. > :17:36.we manage with them. So it is nothing to worry about, we will sort

:17:37. > :17:46.it may be. We will sort it. I am Chris Williamson and we have a

:17:47. > :17:50.people working in our architects in London, probably about 35 people

:17:51. > :17:54.from the European Union. The biggest concern most people have is the

:17:55. > :17:59.uncertainty and we need to know a bit more clarity about whether

:18:00. > :18:03.people can stay and whether we are going to still be able to attract

:18:04. > :18:08.the brightest and the best people, which is what we want to do. Andreas

:18:09. > :18:11.moved over from Spain with his family and he came for an interview

:18:12. > :18:18.and we offered him a job. He moved here in February. It is not a great

:18:19. > :18:23.situation to be in. I know a lot of architects worried about the

:18:24. > :18:29.investment, will it still flow into London and into the UK? A lot of

:18:30. > :18:32.projects have been put on hold while people look at what might happen.

:18:33. > :18:36.Let's get more on this now from an organisation

:18:37. > :18:39.which represents London's business community - London First

:18:40. > :18:44.You've published a report today on the challenges London is facing

:18:45. > :18:48.in the run up to Brexit - what have you found?

:18:49. > :18:56.I think our top point is whatever you think about Brexit in the long

:18:57. > :19:00.term, whether it will be great or difficult, it is going to absolutely

:19:01. > :19:04.create uncertainty for the next five or ten years. What we need to do is

:19:05. > :19:08.double down and take the actions we can. What you might think of as the

:19:09. > :19:13.no regret actions, we need to make sure we tell the world we will

:19:14. > :19:16.remain a business and we need to invest in our infrastructure. We

:19:17. > :19:20.have been saying we will remain open for business but in concrete terms,

:19:21. > :19:27.what do you want to see? Our report says firstly, around immigration and

:19:28. > :19:31.make sure we signal to the world that after Brexit, we will remain

:19:32. > :19:34.open to the will's talent. We of course need to re-emphasise our own

:19:35. > :19:39.efforts to train people in the country but we also need to be open

:19:40. > :19:44.to global talent. The other thing we need to do is to keep the city

:19:45. > :19:50.working by investing in the housing crisis and transport. Remaining open

:19:51. > :19:53.to talent in policy terms, what policies do you want to see to

:19:54. > :20:02.enable that to happen? We want to see a liberal visa regime. At the

:20:03. > :20:05.moment, something like 80% of those people from the European Union who

:20:06. > :20:10.are working in London and the rest of the country would not be eligible

:20:11. > :20:15.for a visa. If we switch that off overnight, that would be a calamity

:20:16. > :20:20.for our economy. We can find these talented people from a larger

:20:21. > :20:23.market, the rest of the world? And that is great. As long as we have an

:20:24. > :20:27.immigration regime allowing businesses across the country to the

:20:28. > :20:30.other acts as the people it needs to generate the wealth of the country

:20:31. > :20:34.as a whole, that will work. But nobody will disagree with you in a

:20:35. > :20:40.way, everyone says we want an open system and the best people. I'm not

:20:41. > :20:43.sure that is true. If you set arbitrary targets and the number of

:20:44. > :20:47.people you will have Andrew Netto that off, that is not a system

:20:48. > :20:53.allowing people to recruit who they need. We have run out of time but

:20:54. > :20:55.thank you. Now there's a weekend of FA Cup

:20:56. > :20:58.action to look forward to - it's the third round which is

:20:59. > :21:01.when the Premier League teams join the competition and lower league

:21:02. > :21:04.sides hope to cause a shock. First up is West Ham

:21:05. > :21:06.who host Manchester City. Chris Slegg is at the London Stadium

:21:07. > :21:21.for us ahead of tonight's kick-off. The first FA Cup action here at the

:21:22. > :21:27.former Olympic stadium. The young mascots warming up. West Ham could

:21:28. > :21:32.do with some FA Cup magic because the problems in the Premier League

:21:33. > :21:37.all season. Manchester City, big spenders, they will be favourites.

:21:38. > :21:42.But no reason why Slaven Bilic's hammers cannot go on an extended cup

:21:43. > :21:51.run this year. Crystal Palace got to the final last season. Wigan beat

:21:52. > :21:55.Manchester City in the final. This is the Premier League elite.

:21:56. > :22:01.Tomorrow across the capital, there is a tie that uses FA Cup history.

:22:02. > :22:03.AFC Wimbledon travel to Sutton united who caused one of the

:22:04. > :22:06.greatest third-round shocks of all time.

:22:07. > :22:08.Emotional scenes here at Gander Green Lane, Sutton.

:22:09. > :22:11.Few among the 8,000 crowd present that day will ever forget non-league

:22:12. > :22:19.For 18-year-old Kelly, it was particularly special.

:22:20. > :22:23.27 years on, she is still moved by the memories.

:22:24. > :22:26.So emotional because it was my brother Matt Hanlon

:22:27. > :22:32.Just an incredible moment, one of those things you dream

:22:33. > :22:35.about happening but never actually think it is going to.

:22:36. > :22:44.Who was the chap you were with in the crowd that day?

:22:45. > :22:47.He was my boyfriend James and today, he is my husband.

:22:48. > :22:51.That is the romance of the FA Cup for you!

:22:52. > :22:54.Also on the terraces that day, Geoff Martin, who has been

:22:55. > :23:00.inspired to write his own FA Cup third-round song.

:23:01. > :23:05.# Tell you about the day we beat Coventry!

:23:06. > :23:10.The FA Cup history of Sutton United just goes before us and nobody

:23:11. > :23:12.involved in this club will ever forget the achievements of the past

:23:13. > :23:15.but now we are looking to build the achievements of the future.

:23:16. > :23:18.This fixture also strikes a chord with aficionados of AFC

:23:19. > :23:23.The re-formed club played their first ever fixture here -

:23:24. > :23:26.a pre-season friendly in July 2002. They lost 4-0.

:23:27. > :23:30.They will be hoping for a better result

:23:31. > :23:34.on Saturday and of course, plenty has changed since that day.

:23:35. > :23:37.In Round 2, the Dons came from 3-0 down with ten minutes

:23:38. > :23:43.left to beat Curzon Ashton, and now want to do justice to the original

:23:44. > :23:53.I know it probably doesn't carry all the way to the top any more

:23:54. > :23:56.but it's massive to be able to know what might be round the corner

:23:57. > :23:58.and Wimbledon obviously have their own history

:23:59. > :24:01.but we desperately want to do well in the Cup.

:24:02. > :24:05.Sutton caused a mini shock in Round 2 with a 96-minute winner,

:24:06. > :24:08.seeing off League 2 Cheltenham, but which south London

:24:09. > :24:10.team will be singing when they are winning tomorrow?

:24:11. > :24:25.So much excitement about that time, also live on BBC London tomorrow,

:24:26. > :24:30.digital radio, Millwall take on Bournemouth. Uncertainty about their

:24:31. > :24:37.long-term future at the den, for Millwall. Tonight, West Ham against

:24:38. > :24:40.Manchester City live on BBC One. Coverage starts at 7:30pm.

:24:41. > :24:46.Now let's check on the weather with Ben Rich.

:24:47. > :24:53.Chris had a job keeping warm there. It was freezing. He was modelling

:24:54. > :24:57.the scars very nicely! Scars may not be so necessary over the weekend but

:24:58. > :25:02.neither will sunglasses. We will lose the cold and crisp start to the

:25:03. > :25:05.day and we will see more cloud spreading in. We will stick with

:25:06. > :25:11.that cloudier theme as we go through the weekend.

:25:12. > :25:18.It would be quite as cold. A lot of clout through today and some of that

:25:19. > :25:22.actually no spreading its way southwards and eastwards across the

:25:23. > :25:27.London area and bringing some outbreaks of rain. Fairly light and

:25:28. > :25:31.patchy for the most part. A pretty soggy story if you are heading out

:25:32. > :25:40.and about this Friday night. The temperatures, well below freezing.

:25:41. > :25:43.Tomorrow morning we start off perhaps with some patchy rain but

:25:44. > :25:47.that will clear quickly and are largely dry day. You have to squint

:25:48. > :25:53.at the map to see much in the way of brightness. Some cloud will be quite

:25:54. > :25:57.low and there could be some misty nuts on the hills. Double digit

:25:58. > :26:07.temperatures. This is a selection of the FA Cup fixtures.

:26:08. > :26:14.Largely dry and mild as the story for Saturday night. A lot of cloud,

:26:15. > :26:19.some murkiness on the graphics, particularly over high ground but

:26:20. > :26:26.temperatures again holding up. Sunday, it is more of the same. More

:26:27. > :26:29.cloud and mist and murkiness and largely dry weather. Some breaks in

:26:30. > :26:36.the cloud and perhaps some sunny spells. A change into the start of

:26:37. > :26:40.next week. This weather fronts swinging southwards on Monday

:26:41. > :26:44.bringing rain late in the day. Blustery winds with that as well.

:26:45. > :26:47.For the weekend, largely cloudy and dry and not as cold as it has been.

:26:48. > :26:52.Say goodbye to the frost from now. A terminally ill man has begun

:26:53. > :26:57.a legal fight for the right Noel Conway, who's 67,

:26:58. > :27:01.has motor neurone disease. The case will be the first

:27:05. > :27:09.assisted dying in 2015. Donald Trump is being briefed by US

:27:10. > :27:12.intelligence chiefs on their claims that Russia attempted to interfere

:27:13. > :27:15.in the American presidential The President-elect has repeatedly

:27:16. > :27:22.dismissed the allegation. Modern diesel cars produce more

:27:23. > :27:26.than twice as much toxic emissions as a lorry or bus of the same age,

:27:27. > :27:30.according to new analysis from the International Council

:27:31. > :27:33.on Clean Transportation. I'll be back later during
