Coming up tonight. The capital stands together as a special

of healing and, kind of, Like, putting everything

to bed and just showing We will hear from the man who led

that special service. Also tonight, Labour members react

strongly to the decision not to expel Ken Livingstone from the

This pod is being driven completely by computer.

Londoners are given the opportunity to test a driverless vehicle in

Greenwich. You are not going

to make the lights! You are not going

to make the lights! We speak to Sir Michael Caine and

Morgan Freeman. Good evening. Today, the capital

came together and stood together just as it did two weeks ago when

the horrific events on Westminster Bridge unfolded. Victims, the

relatives and the emergency services were all at Westminster Abbey for a

special service of hope and remembrance. We can join our

reporter he is there this evening. It wasn't just Londoners who came

together today, it was people from across the world, people who lost

loved ones in the attacks just a few weeks ago and also faith leaders.

There were emergency services, the people who went the extra mile from

London's emergency services and risk their lives to save people on

Westminster Bridge. Also in the congregation today was a young

student who witnessed the attack. He was just metres away from where his

friends were seriously hurt. It was a horrible situation

because we didn't know We were separated

from half of our group. It was Travis who said

that he was injured on the bridge. We then saw photos that journalists

had been posting of people. Travis, I think, sustained

a broken wrist and a broken Coming back here today, has had got

back memories of what happened? even in our party from Edge Hill,

we came and this is part Like, putting everything

to bed and just showing Now you have left the happy, you

have been there, it has that helped with the grieving process?

In front of me there were nurses to the left,

We had members from the House of Lords.

It just showed how everyone was, in a way, grieving

Joining me now is the Dean of Westminster, who led the

congregation today. Thank you for joining us. There were people from

all walks of life there today. What was the feeling amongst those

people? It was very solemn. You couldn't avoid the fact. We had to

remember the suffering of those who were killed. There were plenty of

people injured there. The families of those who were killed were

present. That makes it a poignant moment. We had to reflect on that

experience and the experience of the first responders, the police were

around Keith Palmer when he was killed, the people from the casualty

in St Thomas as hospital, the police who ran to get there to support

people who had been injured. Even the blue woman who was in the river,

people responded. We had people here of all kinds. People connected with

that. We had a ambassadors and High Commissioners from countries around

the world. It must have been extremely raw for those families who

are still coming to terms to what happened. Two weeks is a very short

time. Some people are still numb when something really shocking

happens. I spoke to some of the families afterwards and you get the

experience that it was an important moment for them, but they are still

quite numb, coming to terms with the loss of the people that they loved,

but were glad of the occasion. In a funny sort of way they find it

uplifting and warming in the sense that everyone was there one thing to

remember, wanting to embrace the people who were suffering, as well

as wanting to be hopeful. Thank you very much. The Dean of Westminster

joining us on this solemn day in Westminster.

Jeremy Corbyn has announced there will be a further investigation into

the remarks made by Ken Livingstone about Heather and Zionism. Last

night, he was suspended from representing the party for another

year. Time to apologise, Mr Livingstone?

The moment Ken Livingstone linked Hitler with Zionism he was accused

of and anti-Semitism. Hitler was supporting Zionism, before he went

mad. He was suspended from the Labour Party and investigated for

his remarks. Yesterday an internal Labour Party meeting said he had

broken party rules and was suspended for another year. That decision did

not go far enough for this Labour MP. Ken Livingstone has repeatedly

been insulting Jewish communities for years. It is time he was

expelled from our party. There was outrage and bitter disappointment,

anger about why he wasn't expelled already. It is time the Labour Party

stood up and said we don't want someone like Ken Livingstone in our

party. Last night he was unapologetic. Did you except that

you had the judgment over this? No, I won't apologise for something I

didn't say. I did not say that Hitler was a Zionist. His supporters

took to Twitter to defend him. Along with his critics, who called for him

to be expelled. The Labour leader spoke out today saying there would

be a new investigation into subsequent comments made by Ken

Livingstone. We do not tolerate anti-Semitism in any form in the

party. Ken Livingstone's remarks have caused offence to people and

they think you should apologise. I think it would be better if you said

no more about the subject. At the Jewish cultural centre, J WC, said

that they were trying to rebuild trust. We have seen some Jewish

Labour Party members resigned in the last day. We have seen lots of

Jewish and non-Jewish supporters of the Jewish community joined the

Jewish labour movement. We have had 200 new members in the last day. So,

as one disciplinary hens, another begins.

Well, a little earlier Tolu Adayoye spoke to former

Mayor Ken Livingstone and asked him what he made of the likelihood

Mr Corbyn has announced a new investigation today. What is your

reaction? People just have to go on to the Jewish News website from last

week where this headline about if it is said to expel me it would be a

mistake. It goes on to say what I had said was true and I had been

misquoted by a lot of unpleasant Labour MPs is. There were mistakes

on the Jewish Chronicle website saying that Hitler was a Zionist and

even that dues like Nazis. There has not been a single bit of evidence

for those claims. The reason why wasn't expelled yesterday is because

I'm sure our barrister would have warned them that I would go for

judicial review and a judge would not allow someone to be disciplined

for stating historical truth. What you said dig deeply offend some

people. In the last 11 months a couple of people came up to me and

said, why did you say that? I never did. A lot of people have said to

me, we know what you said is true. Don't MPs read their history? Have

you compromise the Labour Party? I came into politics to tell the

truth. I am not new Labour. I was not trained to be Jupiter said this

in interviews. I get invited to do lots of interviews because they

answer the question. I can't see any reason for being in politics if you

don't tell the truth. What action do you plan to take in light of the new

investigation? I wasn't going to make any decision about whether to

challenge this suspension until after the local government election

to Rover. If there is to be another enquiry, we will wait for the

enquiry and they will find the same advice from the lawyers, saying you

can't discipline someone for stating the truth, especially when you are

ignoring the Labour MPs who have been tweeting lies.

Coming up later. A kitchen but no shop front, the restaurant is

changing the way they serve their customers.

It's a building with a unique history that's in the process of

It was from Alexandra Palace's mast that the first

ever British Television programme was broadcast.

But today questions have been raised as to why a planned TV heritage

The restoration work is in full flow. By next autumn this theatre

will be open, the original features Bob Acta glory and the possibilities

are endless for what the Victorians called the People's Palace. This

part of the ?27 million process will happen on time and on budget. One

part, however, will not. This station goes on the air. When Adele

Dixon sang of the Magic mystic raise of television, Alexandra Palace took

place as part of the history of television. We were promised an

attraction with everything from historic kit for the chance to be a

newsreader. I don't understand. Surely then it has been cleverly

planned diet. If you are going to restore Ally Pally to its former

glory, then that part of the plan should go ahead. I am trying to

raise money for them up here, so I will have to be up with my bucket

again. Television and Ally Pally is inseparable. Their shared history is

written on the walls here. Why is this key part being shelved? What

went wrong? Nothing went wrong particularly. We are working with

the complex historical building against a fixed budget and the

prices have changed. We find things we didn't expect to find despite the

survey so we are making the right decision at the right time. They

find problems that you will encounter with any restoration

project, plus up poster Brexit- some materials and a shortage for the

right people in the job. If you want to replace a windowed noise he would

put in their UPVC window in. Here, you are trying to find joiners to

understand Victorian joinery and how good were joined together. Trying to

find those people today is difficult. The redevelopment team

says they chose the theatre over the television project because it was

closer to completion, but they said that Alexandra Palace will see its

television Museum. The battle to raise money begins once again.

Well now, for the first time Londoners are being given

the opportunity to test a driverless vehicle in the capital.

Around a hundred people will travel in a 'prototype' along a two

We don't encourage that kind of behaviour because you can't beat the

laws of physics, but at the same time we have been testing this

Moments later - surprise, surprise - someone did step in front of it.

Researchers here are now trying to gauge the public's reaction

The traffic around here is so dense, that I think technology has probably

got as much chance of avoiding a knock as anything else.

Greenwich is at the forefront of this new technology.

While we were filming, this takeaway delivery robot passed by.

The council think sharing vehicles could reduce

As you can see, there is no steering wheel.

This pod is being driven completely by computer and what the research

is trying to find out is how these pods will link in with

We want to understand how it can be integrated

Will they be able to help reduce congestion in Greenwich?

Will they be able to improve our air quality?

Will they be able to allow us to use make better use of space?

But this is only a prototype and new technology can be

At one point, there was a brief fault with the batteries.

But we that we learn from this, though, is that the production

vehicles will be of a much higher standard.

There are, though, grand plans for driverless pods.

I think we can see this technology opening up areas of Greenwich,

urban environments like this, where maybe in the future

we don't want petrol or diesel vehicles to run.

Passengers could be charged to use the pods, perhaps, by 2019.

Still to come this Wednesday evening:

I will be speaking to Sir Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman about

playing geriatric bank robbers. London is one of the foodie

cities of the world. And opening a restaurant

here certainly isn't cheap. But one delivery app thinks it

has an answer to that - by opening the first kitchen-only

hub, where chefs can make food to be delivered directly to people's homes

without having to invest Caroline Davies has

been finding out more. Joseph has always wanted to run his

own restaurant. We started off in a really small market, cooking ten

pieces a day, and from then we have gone into different markets,

festivals, events, weddings, anything you can think of. But this

isn't a restaurant kitchen, it is a container in a car park in south

London and joseph gets his order from an application, not a waiter.

Established names and start-ups choose this hub as a stand-alone

kitchen only. It has been set up by an app called Deliveroo. To start a

restaurant you need between half a million and ?1 million. We are

providing the infrastructure to allow entrepreneurs to expand or

even start a business. Anyway that you can show that we sell this mini

pizzas a week gives you that level of justification to go out there and

for people to help you out. The idea is for restaurants all the nude to

reach a wider audience without investing in bricks and mortar. What

does this mean for the restaurant scene in London? Infield that there

is a new restaurant every week in London. According to the restaurant

guide hardens, 200 new restaurant opened in London last year, but 76

also closed. With all of this journal of new restaurant in old

restaurants, will an app like this help or hinder the restaurant

industry? Restauranteur David Norgrove only runs his own

restaurant that helps young chefs get started. It is tricky to get

into the food scene. There is a perfect storm at the moment. We have

property prices, rates going sky-high. One concern is the look

environment that the sketch and hubs are going into. Will they be

cannibalise and other businesses in the area, who are possibly already

struggling? And is just one marketing ploy for Deliveroo? Are

they really supporting the small start-ups? Whether it is a gimmick

or a real gear plate for new businesses remains to be seen, but

if this gets picked up a good change the food scene in London in the

future. This was a jubilant Middlesex

on a late September day last year, when they finally ended their 23

year wait to once again be called The new season gets

under way this weekend - so how do they assess their chances

of defending their title? The moment Middlesex were able to

celebrate their first County Championship triumph since 1993.

Toby Rowland Jones, his match-winning hat-trick against

Yorkshire clinched the title, for him it will be a day never

forgotten. You just completely lose your senses, really. It was the

feeling that the hard work that has gone in for the past six or seven

years that I have been at the club. The trophy resides at Lord's, but

shows that hanging on to hit his shows that hanging on to hit his

often harder than getting hold of it. Middlesex defended the title

outright since 1921. We have had in outright since 1921. We have had in

different years a couple of times the year after we won the

is consistently challenging. For the Middlesex woman last year, notably,

Bash model and launch a tournament in which eight English cities will

Every club around the county has some sort of concern. It is easier

lot of opportunities. The opportunity for Middlesex to start

their title defence with the wind will start on Friday, -- a week on

Friday, a way to Hampshire. Sir Michael Caine, a legend

of British film and still going strong in his 80s,

plus the veteran Hollywood actor with one of the most distinctive

voices, Morgan Freeman. Well in their latest movie -

they've teamed up as Alice Bhandhukravi has been

speaking to them both. First, here's a quick

look at the film. What will it be? Not today, thank

you. Nope I? We are watching our waistlines. Don't tire my table all

day, I need to make a living here. Those guys in the bank have machine

guns. It keeps going over and over in my head. Maybe you are having a

stroke. Sir Michael Caine and Morgan

Freeman, welcome to the programme. You tease each other a lot in this

film, you must have good chemistry. We do. You said we do. Yet, we do.

Do we keep each other in real life? No, we just get on well together.

Are you old friends? Blimey. Did you mean old friend stop ... In this

film you play geriatric criminals. You are fighting the powers. That

said, the powers that be. We are fighting the people who exploit the

working class because we both from the working class. We are still

working and we have class, but were not working class any more. I love

how you put things sometimes. Do you? Yes. It is a comedy. A lot of

physical comedy. I protest, that it is not a comedy. It is more of a

drama with funniness in it. It is like life, funny sometimes, sad

sometimes, happy sometimes, but because we are in there is a lot of

laughs. Let's get the latest check

on the weather with Ben Rich. One word I would use a lot in this

forecast is dried, -- dry, because there is a lot of that to come. A

beautiful start today in Brentford. At the river in Twickenham we saw

patchy cloud development, and the same story further east in

Rotherhithe. Thanks to our weather watchers for those pictures. As you

can see from the satellite picture, we started off with glorious

sunshine. We saw more cloud spelling in from the north-west but not

enough to spoil the day. Through this evening and overnight it is dry

with a lot of cloud around. We are expecting the cloud to increase as

the night goes on. Temperatures not dropping far, down to nine or 10

degrees in most places. Tomorrow, cloudy start, but the cloud should

be thin. Through the day it should break up a little bit and we will

see more sunny spells developing, probably more than the map showing

behind me. If you do get the sunshine, 15 degrees. On the whole,

cloudy day than we have today. Tomorrow, if you want to get out and

about in the evening, it will be dry, but fairly cloudy. The high

pitches stays with us into Friday. There will be some cloud at times

but expect the cloud to break up to give spells of sunshine. On Friday,

if you get the sunshine, 14 or 15 degrees. Then, we head into the

weekend. That stays largely dry with sunshine and it is going to begin to

turn really quite warm. This is the charge for Saturday, some sunshine,

patchy cloud. 16 degrees easily achievable, I think some of us could

get 19. This is Sunday, glorious sunshine across the map, and that

will lift temperatures may be up to even 23 degrees. So, things turning

warmer as we go towards the weekend with more in the way of sunshine and

it will stay dry. Now the main headlines: A service
