:00:00. > :00:00.strengthen the country's air defence systems. That is all from us. It is

:00:00. > :00:24.The battle over baby Charlie at the High Court -

:00:25. > :00:26.his parents challenge medical wisdom to turn off life support.

:00:27. > :00:34.I'll be finding out how scientists are using this machine to capture

:00:35. > :00:42.culturally significant memories of our capital.

:00:43. > :00:44.And the magic of the Easter holidays -

:00:45. > :00:59.we check out what else is on offer here in the capital.

:01:00. > :01:03.Good evening, welcome to the programme with me, Riz Lateef.

:01:04. > :01:07.First tonight - it's cost the taxpayer nearly ?40 million,

:01:08. > :01:10.but today, a damning report has called for the Garden Bridge

:01:11. > :01:18.The review, ordered by the Mayor, says the costs to build a new

:01:19. > :01:20.river crossing are escalating out of control, that the purpose

:01:21. > :01:23.of the bridge remains unclear and that process to find

:01:24. > :01:25.the architects was "not open, fair or competitive".

:01:26. > :01:27.The future of the scheme is now under serious doubt,

:01:28. > :01:31.as our transport correspondent Tom Edwards reports.

:01:32. > :01:33.This is where the Garden Bridge was meant to be built,

:01:34. > :01:36.stretching from Temple to the South Bank.

:01:37. > :01:40.Today, though, another blow to a project under fire.

:01:41. > :01:44.A review says it's not value for money.

:01:45. > :01:48.Don't put another penny of London ratepayers' money,

:01:49. > :01:51.or British taxpayers' money, into this project.

:01:52. > :01:55.I know that money has been lost, but I would cut your losses now,

:01:56. > :02:00.because there are too many risks, there are too many uncertainties,

:02:01. > :02:03.and there is no clarity to me that the money can be raised

:02:04. > :02:09.The bridge was meant to be an oasis of calm above the Thames,

:02:10. > :02:14.with ?60 million coming from the taxpayer.

:02:15. > :02:19.including the previous Mayor, Boris Johnson

:02:20. > :02:22.and the then Chancellor, George Osborne.

:02:23. > :02:26.Procurement, the costs, the previous Mayor, Deputy Mayor,

:02:27. > :02:31.TfL officials, are all criticised in this withering report.

:02:32. > :02:35.It also reveals that the cost of the Garden Bridge could now

:02:36. > :02:42.and there is a shortfall of ?70 million.

:02:43. > :02:47.It says the trust's finances are in a precarious state.

:02:48. > :02:50.Opponents always said the Garden Bridge was in the wrong place,

:02:51. > :02:56.We think it's a very damning report, it's not looking good

:02:57. > :02:59.for the Garden Bridge Trust, it would be very difficult for them

:03:00. > :03:02.to pull something out of the hat after this,

:03:03. > :03:05.and we think that Boris has left us with the ultimate frippery

:03:06. > :03:10.and Sadiq Khan has it in his power to refuse the guarantee.

:03:11. > :03:13.Well, I think it is hugely damning and it shows what many of us

:03:14. > :03:16.felt for a long time, that all the money that's been

:03:17. > :03:18.spent on this project has not been well spent,

:03:19. > :03:21.and that it's not good value for public money, and quite frankly,

:03:22. > :03:23.if you read the thorough report that's been done,

:03:24. > :03:27.the Mayor of London has to kill off this project now and stop throwing

:03:28. > :03:32.The report also says that the procurement of the bridge

:03:33. > :03:37.was not open or fair and recommends the project should be cancelled,

:03:38. > :03:42.even though it could cost the taxpayer up to ?60 million.

:03:43. > :03:46.Others say that this whole review process is nothing more

:03:47. > :03:53.The Garden Bridge Trust says it is more determined than ever

:03:54. > :03:58.The big question now is, what will the Mayor do -

:03:59. > :04:10.Tom, you have been following the Garden Bridge's controversial

:04:11. > :04:17.journey. What is your view on whether it will get built? Well, I

:04:18. > :04:21.suspect what it will come down to in the end is money. This project needs

:04:22. > :04:25.private donors and at the moment, they are staying away. There has

:04:26. > :04:31.been a lot of bad luck and bad publicity and what is is death by a

:04:32. > :04:38.thousand reviews, and the criticisms keep on coming. Tonight we have had

:04:39. > :04:42.a very damning statement from the architects who created the London

:04:43. > :04:46.Eye behind me, extremely damning words from them, saying the

:04:47. > :04:51.competition did not smell right from the start, we were just there to

:04:52. > :04:56.make up the numbers, we feel deeply embarrassed to be used in this way

:04:57. > :05:02.by a publicly accountable body, they go on. TfL continues to be in

:05:03. > :05:05.denial, all of this extremely damning for Transport For London,

:05:06. > :05:15.and it leaves the current Mayor with a political problem.

:05:16. > :05:24.Politicians like to leave their mark. Boris Johnson light River

:05:25. > :05:28.crossings. This one in East London did at least get off the ground. The

:05:29. > :05:35.bigger challenge for the Garden Bridge may yet challenge his legacy.

:05:36. > :05:40.-- tarnish. At the time, he did not like being questioned about the way

:05:41. > :05:43.he handled it. We are getting to the bottom of why rules which is the

:05:44. > :05:47.jurors are important and why you need to do your job under you have

:05:48. > :05:51.said... I think we need to get on and build this bridge. This whole

:05:52. > :05:58.thing is a load of Cobblers. It is all political. You just cannot bear

:05:59. > :06:04.the idea that a great project is going ahead. That is what this is

:06:05. > :06:09.all about. A load of Cobblers. He has now got a new job, being in

:06:10. > :06:14.Greece yesterday and refusing to comment on the Garden Bridge today.

:06:15. > :06:17.He also would not talk to Margaret Hodge's enquiry. Boris refused to

:06:18. > :06:20.come and talk to me and I regret that because it was his project and

:06:21. > :06:24.he has to take responsibility for it. Deciding whether the bridge goes

:06:25. > :06:29.ahead now bolster the man who replaced Boris Johnson. Sadiq Khan

:06:30. > :06:34.has backed the idea of the bridge but said he will not put any more

:06:35. > :06:36.public money into it. But after asking Margaret Hodge to review the

:06:37. > :06:55.project in September, three months later he said -- sent this e-mail.

:06:56. > :07:02.Our findings are in fact pretty much the opposite, putting the ball

:07:03. > :07:05.firmly in the Mayor's court. I based my conclusions and recommendations

:07:06. > :07:09.on all the facts that were put before Matt. I have a bit of

:07:10. > :07:13.experience in this field, I have been doing it for 40 years and I

:07:14. > :07:17.have five years chairing the Public Accounts Committee so I think I have

:07:18. > :07:21.done a fair and honest and direct bit of work. It is now over to the

:07:22. > :07:24.Mayor to do his. He would not be interviewed today but we are told he

:07:25. > :07:28.will study the review carefully before responding in full before

:07:29. > :07:30.deciding if this is as close as we will get to a Garden Bridge.

:07:31. > :07:35.The differing views on what Brexit could mean for London's reputation

:07:36. > :07:48.The mother of a baby boy with a rare genetic condition has pleaded

:07:49. > :07:51.with a judge at the High Court to give the little boy

:07:52. > :07:56.Specialists at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London think it is time

:07:57. > :07:58.to stop providing life support treatment to baby Charlie Gard.

:07:59. > :08:06.Alex Bushill has been following the case and joins me now.

:08:07. > :08:13.A truly heartbreaking case. It certainly is. It is worth

:08:14. > :08:15.remembering that there are only 16 other children anywhere in the world

:08:16. > :08:20.who have the same condition as Charlie. It is a rare form of

:08:21. > :08:26.mitochondrial disease that has left him with progressive muscle failure

:08:27. > :08:33.and profound brain damage. Today, we saw his parents from Hounslow

:08:34. > :08:37.arriving at the High Court, their job today was to try and persuade a

:08:38. > :08:40.High Court judge to allow them to take their child to America for what

:08:41. > :08:44.is experimental and completely unproven treatment. That is directly

:08:45. > :08:49.against the wishes of the doctors at Great Ormond Street. He has been

:08:50. > :08:53.been looked after by them and they have come to the view that there is

:08:54. > :08:57.nothing more they can do for him and it would ease the suffering to turn

:08:58. > :09:00.off the life-support. They say his condition is untreatable. What was

:09:01. > :09:06.significant about today was, we heard from this legally appointed

:09:07. > :09:10.court guardian, their job is to look directly at what is in the best

:09:11. > :09:16.interests of Charlie, that is aside from interests of the parents or the

:09:17. > :09:20.doctors, and crucially today, they said, or she, rather, the Guardian

:09:21. > :09:22.said the doctors and Great Ormond Street were right, the life-support

:09:23. > :09:27.should be turned off because to do otherwise is purely prolonging the

:09:28. > :09:33.process of dying. On this matter treatment on America, they said that

:09:34. > :09:38.would only be experimental, with no real prospect of improving Charlie's

:09:39. > :09:43.quality of life. In short, it would be at best futile and actually at

:09:44. > :09:46.worst could lead to cancerous mutations. I understand there were

:09:47. > :09:51.emotional scenes in court as baby Charlie's parents addressed the

:09:52. > :09:53.judge? Very difficult scenes. His mother addressed the High Court

:09:54. > :09:58.judge and the father was sobbing throughout. She told the High Court

:09:59. > :10:03.judge this was a chance to let her son live, her words. She said,

:10:04. > :10:08.Charlie has one shot, one chance of life. Without this treatment,

:10:09. > :10:12.Charlie's only alternative is death. That was to be her final submission,

:10:13. > :10:19.what happens now is the judge will go away and we expect a decision on

:10:20. > :10:21.Tuesday of next week. Difficult and heartbreaking case. Alex, thank you.

:10:22. > :10:24.As an industry, it is one of London's best

:10:25. > :10:26.worth nearly ?2 billion to us every year

:10:27. > :10:29.and generating highly skilled, highly paid jobs.

:10:30. > :10:32.So how worried should we be that the head of British Architects

:10:33. > :10:35.is now warning a badly handled Brexit could cost lots

:10:36. > :10:44.A quick headcount at one of London's biggest architecture firms.

:10:45. > :10:54.Everybody's from Spain in our office!

:10:55. > :11:00.They not only build our homes and offices, but architects

:11:01. > :11:02.could be seen as one of the capital's secret weapons.

:11:03. > :11:04.The industry is worth ?1.7 billion a year,

:11:05. > :11:06.that's more than the capital's industrial design, fashion

:11:07. > :11:14.And it's growing faster than London's economy.

:11:15. > :11:19.Plus, we sell ?400 million more of our services abroad

:11:20. > :11:23.But around a quarter of our architects are from the EU,

:11:24. > :11:26.so what happens when Brexit kicks in?

:11:27. > :11:28.If we have a hard Brexit and our economy collapses,

:11:29. > :11:32.we are going to have to look abroad, much more than we do already,

:11:33. > :11:36.and then if we have taxes imposed on her fees that we don't have

:11:37. > :11:38.already, it's going to be that much more difficult,

:11:39. > :11:43.so you can see a sort of vicious circle going on.

:11:44. > :11:46.Two years ago, the industry's President could not have dreamt

:11:47. > :11:49.she would be fighting her corner at the Government's table.

:11:50. > :11:51.If we can't keep the skills that we need here, then

:11:52. > :11:55.we are going to lose our competitive edge, our innovative edge.

:11:56. > :11:58.We are going to have practices who perhaps have projects

:11:59. > :12:02.around the world who will not have the staff.

:12:03. > :12:04.We are already seeing people change the way they work.

:12:05. > :12:07.This practice employs fewer than 20 people.

:12:08. > :12:10.When Brexit gave some companies cold feet about building

:12:11. > :12:14.from scratch, this lot offered refurbishments instead.

:12:15. > :12:18.Could you be one of the firms that thrives from uncertainty?

:12:19. > :12:22.We are a practice that founded in the recession of 2009,

:12:23. > :12:24.when there was a lot of uncertainty around.

:12:25. > :12:28.And it feels like that climate exists again now,

:12:29. > :12:33.post-Brexit, and we have thrived in those situations.

:12:34. > :12:38.We have worked around the world for centuries, really.

:12:39. > :12:41.Architects travel to where the work is.

:12:42. > :12:47.So, we feel quite positive that a lot of work in the States, Canada,

:12:48. > :12:52.Might be more difficult in Europe, but we worked

:12:53. > :12:57.But there is a clear enough message from the sector itself -

:12:58. > :13:01.the people whose job it is to make more lives more liveable say

:13:02. > :13:04.they might have to look for a new life themselves.

:13:05. > :13:10.Turning now to the news that the woman who was knocked into

:13:11. > :13:13.the Thames during the Westminster attack has died.

:13:14. > :13:17.Among the tributes today to Andreea Cristea,

:13:18. > :13:22.she was at the happiest time of her life."

:13:23. > :13:32.Let's cross to Sonja Jessup, who is on Westminster Bridge.

:13:33. > :13:39.Two weeks on from the attacks, the flowers are pending, some of the

:13:40. > :13:43.notes are now hard to make out but Londoners and tourists are still

:13:44. > :13:46.often stopping to read them, to reflect on those who lost their

:13:47. > :13:52.lives. Among them were hearing today, one more victim, Andreea

:13:53. > :13:55.Cristea, 31 years old, a Romanian architect. BBC London has been

:13:56. > :13:59.speaking to her friends and family who have been sharing their memories

:14:00. > :14:03.with us and sharing their photos pictures they say reflect the young

:14:04. > :14:06.woman she was, a lot of trouble, she wanted to explore the world. This

:14:07. > :14:09.was the second time she had travelled to London and it was

:14:10. > :14:16.supposed to be a dream holiday. She was with her boyfriend, who was

:14:17. > :14:18.going to ask her to marry him, a proposal that apparently she was

:14:19. > :14:23.expecting and expected to say yes to. But of course she lost her life

:14:24. > :14:31.two weeks after being hit by a car driven by Khalid Masood. And you

:14:32. > :14:38.have spoken to her cousin today? Yes, he was too upset to speak to us

:14:39. > :14:42.on camera, but he told us that Andreea was at the happiest time of

:14:43. > :14:43.her life, that she had such huge plans and why she dreamed starting a

:14:44. > :15:01.family. We also spoke to a family friend

:15:02. > :15:04.about the difficult time her family are going through and how they are

:15:05. > :15:12.struggling to come to terms with what happened.

:15:13. > :15:15.There is going to be a vigil for Andreea on Sunday. It has been

:15:16. > :15:19.organised by members of the remaining community in London and it

:15:20. > :15:24.is going to be held at Saint Dunstan in the West Church in Holborn. We

:15:25. > :15:29.are also hearing talks about the best way to raise money perhaps to

:15:30. > :15:31.support Andreea's family. Tributes to the fifth victim of a Westminster

:15:32. > :15:45.attack. Sonja Jessup, thank you. I be around London today, finding

:15:46. > :15:50.out the fun things to do in the Easter break next week.

:15:51. > :15:53.-- I have been. And the weekend is looking pretty good, temperatures

:15:54. > :15:57.are on the rise and a is Van to feel more like June. -- and it is going

:15:58. > :15:59.to feel. Before that, though,

:16:00. > :16:01.we all know, don't we, how a smell can evoke memories

:16:02. > :16:03.of a certain time, But what about capturing

:16:04. > :16:06.the essence of a book, Well, that's what scientists

:16:07. > :16:12.at University College London are documenting, as

:16:13. > :16:28.a way of recording We read them, we learn from them,

:16:29. > :16:34.some of us even write them. Looks old or new, falling apart or unread.

:16:35. > :16:37.Here at University College London's Institute of archaeology library is

:16:38. > :16:41.the largest collection of conservation related books in

:16:42. > :16:45.London. But it is not just the words written on the pages that are

:16:46. > :16:48.important. According to scientists, the smell of these books has a

:16:49. > :16:54.significance that should also be recorded. Smells have a big impact

:16:55. > :17:01.on our everyday life, how we feel, how we think and even how we behave.

:17:02. > :17:06.So we started looking into those smells that might have cultural

:17:07. > :17:10.value to us as a society, and our first challenge was to identify a

:17:11. > :17:14.smell that we knew people valued, and the smell of old books and

:17:15. > :17:19.historic libraries appeared as a very clear case. Scientists from

:17:20. > :17:24.UCL's Institute for sustainable Heritage Park collecting chemicals

:17:25. > :17:27.on a sensor, which they put into a machine to separate the individual

:17:28. > :17:31.chemical compounds. These chemicals can be used to recreate that smell

:17:32. > :17:35.and the future. What do you think of the smell of books? They have a very

:17:36. > :17:40.particular smell. I think it is lovely. Sort of musty. But it is

:17:41. > :17:46.really enjoyable. I love old libraries. I was so to eat the stuff

:17:47. > :17:51.of a book with what you read in the book, it can lead to all sorts of

:17:52. > :17:57.associations. Always when you get a new book, the new smell, it is part

:17:58. > :18:02.of the experience. At the moment, smell is rarely recorded. If you go

:18:03. > :18:09.into a gallery or museum, 100% at the objects communicate with you

:18:10. > :18:14.visually. You can see the shapes and colours, but you cannot touch them

:18:15. > :18:18.and you cannot smell them. They are also trawling archives to recreate

:18:19. > :18:22.the Pope read from a house in the 1700s so that visitors walk in and

:18:23. > :18:25.are transported back in time. The whole project is not just about

:18:26. > :18:28.recording smells but also the emotions they evoke.

:18:29. > :18:31.For the first time since the London 2012 Games, some of

:18:32. > :18:33.the best gymnasts will be once again competing

:18:34. > :18:38.Ahead of the World Cup of Gymnastics at the O2,

:18:39. > :18:40.Emma Jones has been to meet two of the British Olympic stars

:18:41. > :18:46.who will be taking part, at their Essex club.

:18:47. > :18:49.Some final training before the main event.

:18:50. > :18:51.The World Cup of Gymnastics is about finding the best

:18:52. > :18:54.All Around man and woman, and it's a chance for British

:18:55. > :19:00.gymnasts to compete at one of London's Olympic venues.

:19:01. > :19:05.I actually bought my tickets and I was sitting in the crowd

:19:06. > :19:08.watching, so it's going to be very different for me this time,

:19:09. > :19:10.competing in the arena, rather than just sitting

:19:11. > :19:14.The last time we had a comp sort of on home ground

:19:15. > :19:15.was the World Championships in 2015, in Glasgow.

:19:16. > :19:22.Yeah, it's really exciting, because I know how big

:19:23. > :19:25.that was and I think this is going to be ten times bigger,

:19:26. > :19:29.Brinn and Amy were both part of Britain's most successful ever

:19:30. > :19:32.Amy won bronze on the floor in Rio last year.

:19:33. > :19:37.So for me, it's kind of all just a massive blur.

:19:38. > :19:40.I got a medal and it's just like, what happened?

:19:41. > :19:44.Such an exciting, dynamic young gymnast...

:19:45. > :19:46.Brinn was part of the team that narrowly missed out

:19:47. > :19:52.One of the stars of 2016 was double Olympic Champion Max Whitlock,

:19:53. > :19:54.who will be performing a special pommel horse routine

:19:55. > :20:00.There is no doubt the sport is having a golden moment.

:20:01. > :20:03.I love the saying that success breeds success.

:20:04. > :20:06.Watching other people do it, especially the people that you train

:20:07. > :20:08.with every single day, if you can follow in their

:20:09. > :20:11.footsteps, if you can keep up with them and repeat the same

:20:12. > :20:14.training regime that they do, then you're going to amount

:20:15. > :20:17.to some sort of greatness, whatever that may be.

:20:18. > :20:20.And while the World Cup is in town, the Mayor has announced ?60,000

:20:21. > :20:23.of funding for the sport at grassroots level, in partnership

:20:24. > :20:28.More opportunities for world-class inspiration to lead to another

:20:29. > :20:40.Now, it's Friday, the weather is warming up for the weekend

:20:41. > :20:43.and the school Easter holidays are underway.

:20:44. > :20:47.If you need a few ideas of what's on in the capital this week,

:20:48. > :20:50.Wendy has been out and about, sampling what's on offer.

:20:51. > :21:06.Just think way where you are. -- just expect. I am in the tree

:21:07. > :21:12.tops Battersea Park this evening, at Go Ape. My soundtrack to editing

:21:13. > :21:16.today has been the delighted squeals of the lucky children who have

:21:17. > :21:19.broken up for the holidays. I have been around London today sampling

:21:20. > :21:23.some of the fun things you can do with your time.

:21:24. > :21:26.Aragog, King of the Spiders and Buckbeak, hiding in the trees,

:21:27. > :21:28.are here permanently at Warner Bros in Leavesden.

:21:31. > :21:33.And on Wednesday, there will be a workshop here with lots

:21:42. > :21:52.We are all looking for Easter eggs in south-west London. Next to the

:21:53. > :21:57.little tree! At Battersea Park zoo, it is and the eggs that are hidden

:21:58. > :22:03.with the animals. They will not be much help, they prefer potatoes. Or

:22:04. > :22:11.you can be a bunny and meet a real one. Feed one, even, although Dexter

:22:12. > :22:21.did not like his carrot! Nor does this chap. No, my favourite thing is

:22:22. > :22:34.hot dogs and ketchup and chips. So there! Finally, to the other end of

:22:35. > :22:39.the park at Go Ape. Well, let's face it, after capital

:22:40. > :22:43.offers up culture and arts at the best of times, especially when the

:22:44. > :22:47.weather is like this. But a few more events especially for the Easter

:22:48. > :22:54.holidays, in the south east in Forest Hill, the Easter fair, craft

:22:55. > :23:01.stalls, traditional Easter egg hunt, and some storytelling. Up in St

:23:02. > :23:05.Albans, Willows activity farm, the beta rabbit characters are there.

:23:06. > :23:10.You can do users without bunnies! There is an adventure playground

:23:15. > :23:19.an exhibition where you can get face-to-face with endangered

:23:24. > :23:27.has been restoring their painted ceiling, London's Lletget, in fact,

:23:28. > :23:31.and it is the first time in 50 years you can get up close and have a good

:23:32. > :23:37.look at it. You might have noticed, I am on a zip line, you might

:23:38. > :23:40.actually remember that I like doing this so you know how I am going to

:23:41. > :23:53.finish this report! I just want to wish you a very good weekend!

:23:54. > :23:56.On that note, let's see how the weekend weather is shaping up

:23:57. > :24:10.She is heading downwards and temperatures are heading upwards?

:24:11. > :24:13.It is looking so nice this weekend will stop the weather is behaving

:24:14. > :24:17.itself for once, just in time for the weekend and it looks like it

:24:18. > :24:24.will be just the weekend, next week it will go downhill a little. How

:24:25. > :24:30.did we do today? We got to around 18 Celsius, it was more like a 17 point

:24:31. > :24:35.something, but close enough to 18. The weekend, the best way to

:24:36. > :24:39.describe it, it is going to feel like June. The temperatures will be

:24:40. > :24:43.pretty high. One negative aspect is that the pollen will be pretty high.

:24:44. > :24:47.It has been high for the last few days. There is no change on that

:24:48. > :24:53.front. But at the moment, blue skies, beautiful evening. It is

:24:54. > :24:56.springtime, the nights are still pretty long so that the temperatures

:24:57. > :25:06.will dip away. If you're up early in the morning, temperatures of around

:25:07. > :25:10.four Celsius. Tomorrow morning, a beautiful morning, with light wind,

:25:11. > :25:13.hardly a cloud in the sky, temperatures in the centre of London

:25:14. > :25:18.probably around 20 Celsius. If you're heading to the coast, a

:25:19. > :25:22.little bit fresher, around 17. Sunday, make the most of it, it is

:25:23. > :25:28.going to be the best day of the weekend. If you see the Greens, that

:25:29. > :25:33.means a chilly morning, then look at the explosion of Orange. It is

:25:34. > :25:41.almost like Picasso! This is what we get in June. And temperatures of 23,

:25:42. > :25:46.really a stunning day. Then I want to show you what is going to happen

:25:47. > :25:51.by the time we get to Monday. After a beautiful day with some strong

:25:52. > :25:59.sunshine, remember, Sunday, the winds swing in from the North. Look

:26:00. > :26:04.at Monday, what a dip! 12, 15 Celsius. A beautiful day on the way

:26:05. > :26:09.for Saturday and Sunday, Sunday is when we will peak with the

:26:10. > :26:15.temperatures, around 23. Then Monday and Tuesday, I think 15 is still not

:26:16. > :26:20.bad, but after we feel that really warm day, it is good to feel like

:26:21. > :26:23.quite a cool off by the time we get the next week.

:26:24. > :26:27.Especially after that explosion of colours, Picasso! How popular are

:26:28. > :26:29.you today with a weekend forecast like that? Thanks very much.

:26:30. > :26:34.Russia has condemned the US attack on it's ally Syria,

:26:35. > :26:37.accusing the United States of violating international law.

:26:38. > :26:40.President Trump authorised a missile strike on a Syrian air base,

:26:41. > :26:42.where he says this week's deadly chemical weapons

:26:43. > :26:47.A lorry has driven into a crowd of pedestrians in Stockholm -

:26:48. > :26:49.killing three people and injuring many more.

:26:50. > :26:51.The authorities believe it was a terror attack

:26:52. > :26:58.and are still searching for the driver of the truck.

:26:59. > :27:00.A Romanian tourist knocked into the River Thames

:27:01. > :27:03.during the Westminster attack has died.

:27:04. > :27:09.31-year-old Andreea Cristea had been visiting London with her boyfriend.

:27:10. > :27:11.And a damning report into the controversial Garden Bridge

:27:12. > :27:17.A review by Dame Margaret Hodge said decisions on the bridge were driven

:27:18. > :27:23.more by electoral cycles than value for taxpayers' money.

:27:24. > :27:30.We will be back later during the ten o'clock news, but for now,

:27:31. > :27:35.from everyone on the team, have a lovely evening.
