:05:07. > :05:12.smell, and there was no second-guessing what it was. It was

:05:17. > :05:23.died, people reported children and dogs becoming sick. A fisherman was

:07:59. > :08:02.potential political bias and his ability to do the job
:08:03. > :08:16.at the same time He is going to be the editor? Nobody
:08:17. > :08:23.at Number Ten saw this coming, nobody at Westminster saw it coming.
:08:24. > :08:25.It is an extraordinary appointment. It is extraordinary. People are
:08:26. > :08:31.biased, newspapers are not as free as we think. I think it is uprising
:08:32. > :08:35.they would be so open about it. I can only conclude that he wants to
:08:36. > :08:39.build the Evening Standard into an alternative power basted to reason
:08:40. > :08:44.made, and the event of Brexit going pear shaped, he will use this to
:08:45. > :08:48.launch his attack. He is very talented, I think it is a great
:08:49. > :08:54.newspaper. The owner is a great guy. It is not good, basically! I have
:08:55. > :09:00.never been a fan of the paper and I am certainly not a fan of him! This
:09:01. > :09:03.man is going to be MP for Tatton, director of the bank, running his
:09:04. > :09:09.Northern Powerhouse operation, and editor of the London Evening
:09:10. > :09:14.Standard. How many more jobs does he want? Sounds like a conflict to me,
:09:15. > :09:18.not great. We have lunch with Brexit and Donald Trump that weird things
:09:19. > :09:25.happen and much as some people do not perhaps want it to happen, this
:09:26. > :09:30.is the reality for now. I cannot think why he has been appointed. I
:09:31. > :09:31.should have applied for the job myself, I think!
:09:32. > :09:34.Joining me now are Wes Streeting, Labour MP for Ilford North,
:09:35. > :09:36.and Alex Deane, a political consultant and former
:09:37. > :09:50.Thanks for coming in. A lot of scepticism, Wes Streeting,
:09:51. > :09:53.presumably you think there is a major conflict of interest? An
:09:54. > :09:58.enormous conflict. I don't understand how anyone could see the
:09:59. > :10:02.appointment of one of the biggest beasts of the Westminster jungle as
:10:03. > :10:07.Editor of one of the best-known newspapers as anything other than a
:10:08. > :10:10.massive conflict of interest. George Osborne says he can edit the
:10:11. > :10:14.newspaper in the morning and turn up to the hosts of commons and vote in
:10:15. > :10:16.the afternoon. But he still participate in the political
:10:17. > :10:21.process, what he says matters in Parliament. The role of the Munir --
:10:22. > :10:27.the media is to hold the powerful to account. How will he hold himself to
:10:28. > :10:30.account? How will he hold the Government to account? He has lots
:10:31. > :10:37.of other commercial interests as no -- now as well. Alex, it is a good
:10:38. > :10:42.point, he is obviously a very active participant in the Government, how
:10:43. > :10:44.do you reconcile that? He is not an active participant in government. He
:10:45. > :10:51.is an MP. He is a significant figure. Yes, but with all respect to
:10:52. > :10:56.George Osborne, he was a big beast in government, rather than is. And
:10:57. > :11:00.he does has strong political allies. But every newspaper editor does.
:11:01. > :11:05.Just ask Paul Dacre or indeed the BBC! It may not be the best of
:11:06. > :11:10.ideas, I am not exactly defending him, but the reason I think some of
:11:11. > :11:14.the reaction has been quite so overblown, people have been getting
:11:15. > :11:17.hysterical, first of all, he is no longer the Chancellor, there is
:11:18. > :11:22.clearly a very large gap in his diary. Secondly, and significantly
:11:23. > :11:29.for me, I trust the staff at the Evening Standard to be every bit as
:11:30. > :11:32.professional as impartial. Let's hear from George Osborne, who was
:11:33. > :11:35.speaking to the Evening Standard's TV station Halit. -- earlier on.
:11:36. > :11:37.I will speak for London and Londoners through
:11:38. > :11:40.And we will judge whatever the Government does,
:11:41. > :11:42.whatever the Mayor does, against that simple test,
:11:43. > :11:48.And if it isn't good for London, then we will say so and we will not
:11:49. > :11:52.If it's good for London, we will, of course, back it.
:11:53. > :11:55.So, we will be fearless and we will be independent in our approach,
:11:56. > :11:57.because that is what people want from a newspaper.
:11:58. > :12:00.And at times like this, that is what journalism is for,
:12:01. > :12:03.to provide people with the evidence, the facts, the analysis, then
:12:04. > :12:14.Wes Streeting, he says he will be fearless. He also said he will be
:12:15. > :12:18.the voice for London and Londoners. He is a Cheshire MP! I want to his
:12:19. > :12:23.constituents will feel about the architect of the Northern Powerhouse
:12:24. > :12:28.rebranding himself as a champion for London. What will he do for the
:12:29. > :12:34.readers of the paper, all of us who get on the Underground and grab that
:12:35. > :12:38.free paper? It is a great paper and has great people working for it and
:12:39. > :12:41.I hope that remains the case. I do not doubt the professional
:12:42. > :12:46.integrity. But every single editorial line of the paper will now
:12:47. > :12:50.be seen through a prism of, what does George Osborne think, how does
:12:51. > :12:54.it relate to his wider plan? That is not in the best interests of the
:12:55. > :13:00.paper. But is that not a common feature of media proprietors in
:13:01. > :13:03.general? Of course, but they should be an important separation between
:13:04. > :13:06.politicians and the media. Let us look at the rock bottom cost the
:13:07. > :13:10.public have in politics and the media at the moment... His
:13:11. > :13:16.appointment does not do anything for the repetition of either. We do not
:13:17. > :13:20.come we should not, have a professional media cost. Being an MP
:13:21. > :13:29.is not full-time job. If it was, we would not have MPs... We would not
:13:30. > :13:33.have MPs who are doctors, lawyers, soldiers or farmers. Telling someone
:13:34. > :13:38.who may have a talent in journalism that he cannot explore in one
:13:39. > :13:41.direction his opportunity when someone else can in another, it
:13:42. > :13:46.smacks to me of double standards. I also think... You cannot have your
:13:47. > :13:50.cake and eat it, you cannot say the paper has great people and you trust
:13:51. > :13:57.them, but their editorial line will be twisted, that cannot be right. We
:13:58. > :14:01.have defended now, but we shall see. Thank you very much, Alex Deane and
:14:02. > :14:02.Wes Streeting. And you can join in with the conversation on our

:16:10. > :16:11.and all the memories, and everything about Dan back,
:16:12. > :16:15.which is quite scary! I was meant to be at a party
:16:16. > :16:18.on the Saturday with him, there was 12 of us
:16:19. > :16:20.meant to be there. So I think it talks about that bit,
:16:21. > :16:23.and it's at George's party, so there was a few of us meant to be
:16:24. > :16:27.there, that's when I found out, and then obviously, when we came
:16:28. > :16:30.to school on Monday, we came in this hall
:16:31. > :16:32.and they did an assembly, I might be going to
:16:33. > :16:35.this rave tonight... The play is touring 90 London
:16:36. > :16:38.schools, but what impact has watching it had on these young
:16:39. > :16:42.people from his school? It is explained in the play that Dan
:16:43. > :16:45.was really against that stuff, which he was,
:16:46. > :16:50.and it is a very emotional story. Even though I didn't
:16:51. > :16:56.know him personally, after being a drama student,
:16:57. > :17:00.having it, like, portrayed through a play, it really
:17:01. > :17:05.makes your heart, like, broken. I remember, everyone went out

:21:43. > :21:48.What we are saying is that when we do any kind of work in the street,
:21:49. > :21:53.we will also think about the impact on pedestrians. Is this a good place
:21:54. > :21:56.to actually be? Goodwillie plant some trees and make it more
:21:57. > :22:00.attractive? So actually, looking at the streetscape in the round. This
:22:01. > :22:04.is what City Hall wants to see more of. This is Leonard Street in
:22:05. > :22:09.Shoreditch. The Junction has been made more friendly for pedestrians
:22:10. > :22:15.with benches and trees. Long-term, the plan is to make streets more
:22:16. > :22:20.attractive to be in, and that will mean reallocating space currently
:22:21. > :22:24.used by cars and vehicles over to cycling and walking. And that will
:22:25. > :22:30.mean confrontation. With limited road space, all road users will want
:22:31. > :22:33.their voices heard. This is not an attack on any particular group, this
:22:34. > :22:39.is about promoting healthier modes of transport, health -- sustainable
:22:40. > :22:43.modes of transport, to make sure London is healthier, happier, safer
:22:44. > :22:47.and cleaner. There is not much detail yet, but of these policies
:22:48. > :22:51.are permitted, more change is on the way on the capital's streets.
:22:52. > :22:55.These are part of a collection of photographs which show
:22:56. > :22:56.the neighbourhood in a rarely seen light.
:22:57. > :22:58.The artist spent five months capturing the images,
:22:59. > :23:02.which he says portray East London has a vibrant and colourful place.
:23:03. > :23:12.Anthony Epes has been speaking to Tolu Adeoye.
:23:13. > :23:19.The best light is before the sun even comes up, that is my favourite
:23:20. > :23:22.light. That simple twilight that when the sun is still 6 degrees
:23:23. > :23:29.below the horizon, you get the globe. Anthony Epes is known for
:23:30. > :23:33.taking photographs at dawn. Originally from California he has
:23:34. > :23:37.travelled across the world, capturing cities quiet and resting
:23:38. > :23:41.before everyone wakes. I like coming out and shooting at dawn for the
:23:42. > :23:47.anti-streets. I think the best light of the day is always at dawn. --
:23:48. > :23:51.empty Streets. There are no cars, the city is like a blank canvas and
:23:52. > :23:56.it is just me and my camera and the beautiful light. It has been 15
:23:57. > :24:00.years since he first produced a book showcasing London at dawn. For his
:24:01. > :24:03.latest collection, the focus is on his favourite parts of the city, the
:24:04. > :24:07.East End. What do you love about East London?
:24:08. > :24:10.There is a vibrancy that you do not find anywhere else in London. I
:24:11. > :24:15.never know what I will find around the next corner. I came one morning
:24:16. > :24:19.and this spot, the graffiti was glowing from the Sun that was coming
:24:20. > :24:24.up this way. That with the juxtaposition of the industrial will
:24:25. > :24:26.wake made for a really nice composition. Anthony took new
:24:27. > :24:30.photographs over five months, but says the book was only possible
:24:31. > :24:34.after getting to know East London over the years. Lots of people want
:24:35. > :24:39.to know what your top tips for getting the perfect picture. My
:24:40. > :24:44.first is to be patient. Look at the like, what it is doing, assess what
:24:45. > :24:47.it is going to be like in a few more minutes, do you need to stick
:24:48. > :24:52.around? A lot of beginners leave before the great light comes. My
:24:53. > :24:59.second tip is, do not fixate on your subject. Every millimetre of the
:25:00. > :25:02.picture counts. The third is to be present. If you are thinking about
:25:03. > :25:07.your e-mails or your bills or your family, you are not in a creative
:25:08. > :25:11.state. He hopes his latest photographs will inspire more people
:25:12. > :25:14.to pick up a camera and capture their favourite parts of London in
:25:15. > :25:16.the best light. Tolu Adeoye, BBC London News.
:25:17. > :25:26.There was some lovely pictures of dawn sunshine in that report, can we
:25:27. > :25:30.expect more of that? Not a great deal of sunshine this
:25:31. > :25:36.weekend, probably. We saw things go downhill today. This was a picture
:25:37. > :25:42.from a weather watcher taken in earls field, where we saw the clouds
:25:43. > :25:45.coming and going early on. Shielded by the sunshine, the sunshine
:25:46. > :25:50.shielded by some of the High Court. But fair bit of cloud this weekend.
:25:51. > :25:55.It will be milder, quite breezy, the wind picking up on Sunday, blowing
:25:56. > :26:01.in the cloud but giving us largely dry. Quite a lot of rain around the
:26:02. > :26:05.UK at the moment. You can see how the cloud just filled in, moved down
:26:06. > :26:08.from the North West. It is beginning to thicken so we could see some rain
:26:09. > :26:14.and drizzle during this evening, then through the rest of the night,
:26:15. > :26:19.it may be on the dry side. A lot of cloud, and still quite a brisk
:26:20. > :26:23.westerly wind. So a much milder night. Seven or eight Celsius.
:26:24. > :26:29.Tomorrow could start up cloudy with the chance of some rain. But do not
:26:30. > :26:33.stop going outside because there will be some sunshine from time to
:26:34. > :26:37.time. Probably not quite as windy as it is right now. Temperatures will
:26:38. > :26:42.be higher than today, 15 in the centre of London, perhaps 12
:26:43. > :26:46.elsewhere. Looking ahead to the second half of the weekend, we have
:26:47. > :26:50.got most weather fronts further North across the UK. This is where
:26:51. > :26:57.we are seeing most of the rain. This will push South, eventually heading
:26:58. > :27:02.towards our part of the country. But drier and brighter day on Sunday.
:27:03. > :27:07.The wind will be a bit stronger but it is a westerly, blowing in the
:27:08. > :27:11.milder air, so we will find temperatures of around 15 Celsius or
:27:12. > :27:13.so. The outlook, gets colder early next week, but at least we will see
:27:14. > :27:16.more sunshine! The US Government has backed down
:27:17. > :27:19.over claims that British intelligence bugged Donald Trump
:27:20. > :27:21.during the presidential campaign. GCHQ said the claims were nonsense
:27:22. > :27:25.and utterly ridiculous. The former Conservative Chancellor,
:27:26. > :27:27.George Osborne, has been appointed Editor
:27:28. > :27:29.of the Evening Standard newspaper. He says he'll combine the role
:27:30. > :27:36.with his job as a MP. That's it, we will be back later
:27:37. > :27:39.during the ten o'clock news. But for now, from everyone
:27:40. > :27:41.on the team, It was the most beautiful view
:27:42. > :27:55.I've ever been through. For one second, I was swimming on my
:27:56. > :28:01.back, and I was looking to the sky. I was swimming across
:28:02. > :28:06.the Aegean Sea. I was a refugee,
:28:07. > :28:21.going from Syria to Germany. This is my life, my career!
