:00:00. > :00:00.and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.

:00:00. > :00:00.A code which could help surgeons save more heart attack patients -

:00:07. > :00:15.the award-winning idea came from a schoolboy on work experience.

:00:16. > :00:19.I was just lucky enough to ask the right question at the right time.

:00:20. > :00:22.Dubbed one of the Blair Babes when she was elected in '97 -

:00:23. > :00:25.20 years on, the MP for Slough tells us why she's standing down.

:00:26. > :00:32.Also ahead this evening: The Royals talk candidly

:00:33. > :00:38.You often speak about the emotional changes you have gone through, and I

:00:39. > :00:40.think a latter parents can hopefully identify with that.

:00:41. > :00:43.The Royals talk candidly about the issue of mental health -

:00:44. > :00:47.and why this weekend's marathon is so important to them.

:00:48. > :00:49.And ahead of the race, London landmarks will be lit up

:00:50. > :00:52.to help raise awareness of the charity they're supporting.

:00:53. > :00:55.As the line-up for this year's BBC Proms is announced,

:00:56. > :00:57.we meet the orchestra celebrating this city's diversity

:00:58. > :01:19.Welcome to the programme this Friday evening with me, Riz Lateef.

:01:20. > :01:22.First tonight: The award-winning idea from a London schoolboy

:01:23. > :01:24.which could help save the lives of thousands of

:01:25. > :01:39.It came from a schoolboy who was on work experience at Barts Hospital.

:01:40. > :01:42.Doctors have to often operate immediately, without knowing the

:01:43. > :01:49.history of the patient, inevitably making the procedure more dangerous.

:01:50. > :01:52.80,000 patients are treated at Barts Heart Centre every year.

:01:53. > :01:55.It's the largest one in the UK, and it's here that 16-year-old

:01:56. > :01:57.Dulwich college student Ben Wald had a eureka moment.

:01:58. > :01:59.Over the summer, I was actually doing work experience,

:02:00. > :02:02.shadowing my dad here, and I had the opportunity to watch

:02:03. > :02:04.a series of procedures to combat heart disease.

:02:05. > :02:07.In one case, a patient, there was a degree of uncertainty,

:02:08. > :02:11.because the patient had actually lost or misplaced or never

:02:12. > :02:16.had her surgical records, and so I was just lucky enough

:02:17. > :02:20.to ask the right question at the right time,

:02:21. > :02:23.which was whether you can use surgical wires, the sternal wires

:02:24. > :02:28.used to close the breastplate after bypass surgery, and sculpt them

:02:29. > :02:31.into letters to leave an imprint inside the patient as to what had

:02:32. > :02:37.From that seed of an idea, Professor Wald worked with his son

:02:38. > :02:40.to develop a code which can tell cardiologists what procedures

:02:41. > :02:44.a patient has had in the past, through the sculpting of the wires.

:02:45. > :02:47.This is an x-ray of somebody who's previously had bypass surgery,

:02:48. > :02:51.and these metal loops are the stitches, the metal stitches

:02:52. > :02:55.that close the breastbone at the end of the operation.

:02:56. > :03:00.If the first wire, the wire at the top of the sternum,

:03:01. > :03:05.points up, you know the code's in use, and if the wires point down

:03:06. > :03:09.and to the left or right, then it tells the cardiologist

:03:10. > :03:15.where he or she will find these grafts, if and when the patient

:03:16. > :03:21.needs another procedure to show what shape these arteries are in.

:03:22. > :03:23.It's a simple idea that no-one had ever thought of.

:03:24. > :03:25.The idea will now be put forward to the British

:03:26. > :03:28.Cardiovascular Society in June, with the hope it could help the one

:03:29. > :03:33.in six heart surgery patients with incomplete medical records.

:03:34. > :03:36.Patrick Dempsey is recovering from surgery following a heart

:03:37. > :03:44.attack on Wednesday. He's impressed by Ben's ingenuity.

:03:45. > :03:47.Young people today have many ideas that older people like me

:03:48. > :03:50.and others don't consider, and I think it's a fantastic idea.

:03:51. > :03:52.You are quite traumatised when you come in.

:03:53. > :04:01.If you're having a heart attack, you are quite frightened,

:04:02. > :04:04.you forget things, and I think if there is a very simple coding

:04:05. > :04:06.mechanism that the doctors can quickly see that

:04:07. > :04:08.you are going to do, there is new information

:04:09. > :04:10.gathering on your chest bone, I think that's a super

:04:11. > :04:12.idea, because it speeds up the whole process.

:04:13. > :04:15.Originally, when you came up with this idea, you were laughed

:04:16. > :04:20.I mean, there was a bit, because, of course, some

:04:21. > :04:21.of the cardiologists, including my father,

:04:22. > :04:23.thought it was implausible, but with a bit of thinking,

:04:24. > :04:26.my father realised that you could actually develop this

:04:27. > :04:29.into a code, and it wasn't so implausible after all.

:04:30. > :04:34.Coming up later in the programme: A final journey for treasured trains

:04:35. > :04:36.on the District Line - but their retirement wasn't

:04:37. > :04:49.It's not the usual attire associated with the Royals,

:04:50. > :04:52.but these blue headbands worn by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

:04:53. > :04:55.and Prince Harry are to help raise awareness of their work

:04:56. > :04:59.It's estimated that in any one year, a quarter of Londoners will

:05:00. > :05:05.And this weekend the capital's landmarks will do their bit too

:05:06. > :05:15.in helping to promote their charity. Victoria can tell us more.

:05:16. > :05:23.Swathes of the South bank are going to be lit up blue this evening, not

:05:24. > :05:26.just behind me, but the royal festival hall and other buildings

:05:27. > :05:31.further down the river. It is a blue that has almost become synonymous

:05:32. > :05:34.with this campaign, the Heads Together campaign, which brings

:05:35. > :05:38.together a different charities to raise awareness of mental health

:05:39. > :05:41.issues. Begun last year by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince

:05:42. > :05:44.Harry. It is not just them who had been wearing those headbands you

:05:45. > :05:48.mentioned. A building not far down the river from a also got its own

:05:49. > :05:53.headband, the Battersea Power Station. Not easy to put on, would

:05:54. > :05:58.imagine, but one anyone around the capital this weekend. Earlier today,

:05:59. > :05:59.the Royals released a short film discussing the importance of

:06:00. > :06:02.discussion. I do think it's incredible how

:06:03. > :06:05.strong, and how you've been able to cope, really,

:06:06. > :06:08.and I put that down to your really early years, childhood experience,

:06:09. > :06:14.but also the relationship that you've got, you're amazingly

:06:15. > :06:15.close, and yes... Most of the time!

:06:16. > :06:18.Most of the time. No, but you know, some families

:06:19. > :06:25.sadly aren't as lucky as you guys have been,

:06:26. > :06:28.and being able to share things. But we have been brought closer

:06:29. > :06:30.by the circumstances as well. You know, you are uniquely bonded

:06:31. > :06:34.because of what you've been through. But you know, even her and I,

:06:35. > :06:37.over the years, have not talked Has doing this campaign sort

:06:38. > :06:42.of made you realise that, to a certain extent?

:06:43. > :06:45.Yeah, I think so. I always thought to myself,

:06:46. > :06:47.you know, what's the point Was the point in bringing

:06:48. > :06:51.of something that's only It ain't going to change it,

:06:52. > :06:54.it ain't going to bring her back, and when you start thinking

:06:55. > :06:57.like that, it can be And you always said to me,

:06:58. > :07:01.you've got to sit down and think about those memories,

:07:02. > :07:03.but for me, it was like, But I think what must happen

:07:04. > :07:08.with us, and must happen with others as well is, you have

:07:09. > :07:10.to prioritise your mental health. You have to say to yourself at some

:07:11. > :07:13.point, because it's very easy to run away from it,

:07:14. > :07:16.you know, to walk away from it You know, someone has to take

:07:17. > :07:26.the lead and has to be brave enough Well, the lights will be on along

:07:27. > :07:30.the Southbank till about 4am on Sunday morning, head the marathon.

:07:31. > :07:34.For the first time, 39,000 runners have all been handed one of these

:07:35. > :07:39.headbands to wear for the official campaign to the London Marathon this

:07:40. > :07:43.year, Heads Together. If all of them wear these headbands, it will be

:07:44. > :07:46.quite a sight. But I is opposed the question is, do you really need

:07:47. > :07:50.headbands to make the London Marathon such a site! -- I suppose

:07:51. > :07:52.the question. Thank you. I will have more later on

:07:53. > :07:53.the programme on that. She was one of the women

:07:54. > :07:55.dubbed 'Blair's Babes' - the catchphrase used to describe

:07:56. > :07:57.the 101 female MPs elected But 20 years after serving her

:07:58. > :08:01.constituency of Slough, Fiona Mactaggart has decided

:08:02. > :08:02.to stand down. Our Political Correspondent Karl

:08:03. > :08:05.Mercer has been finding out why. It was one of the defining images

:08:06. > :08:09.of the 1997 election. The so-called Blair Babes paraded

:08:10. > :08:12.with their leader in Westminster Tucked at the back, Fiona

:08:13. > :08:20.MacTaggart, newly elected in Slough. Nearly 20 years on,

:08:21. > :08:22.she's still the town's MP, She's one of two Labour MPs in

:08:23. > :08:27.and around London to call it a day. I had to make a decision that

:08:28. > :08:35.I wasn't expecting to have to make, and I think in politics,

:08:36. > :08:37.it's important to hand the baton on when you're still good at it,

:08:38. > :08:40.still enjoying it, still making a difference, rather

:08:41. > :08:43.than when you completely run out She'll carry on supporting

:08:44. > :08:51.causes close to her heart, but says the political world

:08:52. > :08:54.isn't what it used to be. I'm bored of bickering

:08:55. > :08:55.about personalities, because I think politics should be

:08:56. > :08:58.about ideas and about policy, and it too often isn't,

:08:59. > :09:07.it's about, you know, "Do you like him?

:09:08. > :09:09.Is she your favourite?" You know, it's like

:09:10. > :09:11.in the playground. It's like childhood squabbles,

:09:12. > :09:15.and frankly, that's boring. She's been critical

:09:16. > :09:16.of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership. Many will believe that's part

:09:17. > :09:19.of the reason she is going. I have well-documented run-ins

:09:20. > :09:21.with more than one leader of the Labour Party,

:09:22. > :09:23.let's be utterly honest. So, you know, you can't say

:09:24. > :09:26.I'm going because of Jeremy. I publicly said that I thought

:09:27. > :09:28.that Gordon Brown should Look into your crystal ball, Fiona,

:09:29. > :09:32.and tell us what the state of the country is going to be

:09:33. > :09:36.and who is going to be I'd stopped making political

:09:37. > :09:44.predictions along time ago I'd stopped making political

:09:45. > :09:46.predictions a long time ago when I realised that I'd never lost

:09:47. > :09:49.a political bet, and I thought, if I carry on making them,

:09:50. > :09:52.I might start losing, You're asking me

:09:53. > :09:55.to make a prediction. I just told you I'm not

:09:56. > :10:01.making a prediction. I believe that the best option

:10:02. > :10:07.for Britain is a Labour government. We'll find out if the voters

:10:08. > :10:12.agree on June 9th. London said goodbye

:10:13. > :10:15.to a transport stalwart today. It was meant to be a quiet,

:10:16. > :10:19.unannounced retirement. But it didn't quite

:10:20. > :10:26.work out like that, as old trains on the District Line

:10:27. > :10:29.took their final journey. Our Transport Correspondent

:10:30. > :10:35.Tom Edwards explains. They brought cameras,

:10:36. > :10:40.even wore Tube-themed scarves. All keen to go on the last

:10:41. > :10:43.trip of the D stock. I've heard the train's

:10:44. > :10:44.actually fall. I've heard the train's

:10:45. > :10:45.actually full. It was trending on

:10:46. > :10:47.Twitter this morning. It's one of those things that

:10:48. > :10:51.I think people are glad to celebrate it as being an item,

:10:52. > :10:53.something to look at, but perhaps it is time

:10:54. > :10:55.it is retired now. I think it is time it is gone,

:10:56. > :10:58.and I think Londoners are glad to see the back

:10:59. > :11:00.of it in the end. On-board, a carriage

:11:01. > :11:08.of more enthusiasts, that's it, you know,

:11:09. > :11:12.standardised now. I have really fond memories of these

:11:13. > :11:17.when I was growing up. The new trains, it's

:11:18. > :11:19.an improvement, but the sentimental one is a good

:11:20. > :11:21.feeling with these. The District Line D stock

:11:22. > :11:23.started running in 1980. Some drivers, like

:11:24. > :11:30.today's, will miss it . I've been driving for

:11:31. > :11:36.a long time, since '85, and yeah, they've been

:11:37. > :11:38.a good workforce for the From tomorrow, the District Line

:11:39. > :11:45.will only have new S stock trains, with air con

:11:46. > :11:47.and walkthrough carriages. It's always a bit of an odd moment

:11:48. > :11:52.when you say goodbye to an old friend that's done some sterling

:11:53. > :11:54.service, but you know, we're here This is in effect hello

:11:55. > :12:00.to the new trains, Some of these are to be reused

:12:01. > :12:15.in the Midlands, but in London, at Final preparations are taking place

:12:16. > :12:21.for the London Marathon on Sunday. Join me later, I will tell you how

:12:22. > :12:25.it is going. And the Proms 2017 are coming,

:12:26. > :12:29.bringing us once again some of the greatest classical music in the

:12:30. > :12:30.world. Find out later why this orchestra is particularly

:12:31. > :12:34.interesting. As we've been hearing,

:12:35. > :12:37.football has been mourning the loss of Tottenham Under-23 coach

:12:38. > :12:40.Ugo Ehiogu. He died early this morning

:12:41. > :12:43.at the age of 44 after suffering a cardiac arrest at the club's

:12:44. > :13:04.training ground yesterday. this sad news? Yes, a member of the

:13:05. > :13:07.under 23 staff responsible for bringing in so many talented

:13:08. > :13:12.players, and admired outside of football as well. His last tweet

:13:13. > :13:17.gave an idea of his character. He wrote about giving ?10 to a homeless

:13:18. > :13:22.girl in Dalston and encouraged everyone to do something kind. Among

:13:23. > :13:25.the tributes paid to him, one from Fabrice Muamba, who survived a heart

:13:26. > :13:32.attack in a game at Tottenham. He wrote:

:13:33. > :13:37.Spurs play Chelsea tomorrow in the FA Cup semifinal.

:13:38. > :13:42.Football field is largely irrelevant at the moment, but I'm sure this

:13:43. > :13:47.match will embody all the qualities that Ugo was admired for.

:13:48. > :13:55.Can say, shot! Chelsea's win over Manchester United

:13:56. > :14:01.in the FA Cup semifinal last month was part of a 23 match stretch,

:14:02. > :14:05.where they lost only once. But their defeat to Manchester United broke

:14:06. > :14:08.that. Antonio Conte needs to rally his team as Tarzan and challenge

:14:09. > :14:10.them in two competitions. Giving the outcome of this game could have a

:14:11. > :14:15.psychological impact in the Premier League title run in? If Tottenham

:14:16. > :14:21.one this weekend, would that give them a huge boost?

:14:22. > :14:26.I don't know. I think these are two different competitions, yes. The FA

:14:27. > :14:35.Cup, great competition with tradition. I don't think that if one

:14:36. > :14:39.team win or lose, it will affect the other competition.

:14:40. > :14:42.Rival fans claim Chelsea have no history, but they have been

:14:43. > :14:46.associated with the Chelsea Pensioners since 1908. Tomorrow, the

:14:47. > :14:49.club will take more than 30 of the retired British Army soldiers to

:14:50. > :14:51.Wembley on a special bus. Tottenham looking good at the

:14:52. > :14:55.moment, you worry? Yes.

:14:56. > :14:59.Yes, I am very worried. Definitely looking over our shoulder, because

:15:00. > :15:01.they are scoring, we are not. Confident that you will come out on

:15:02. > :15:05.top? They will raise their game tomorrow.

:15:06. > :15:09.Supporters of Chelsea's opponents Tottenham need to be close to

:15:10. > :15:12.pensionable age to remember the last time their team was winning on such

:15:13. > :15:16.a consistent basis. They have been breaking club records that have

:15:17. > :15:20.stood since the 1960s, but can they turn that form into a trophy to

:15:21. > :15:24.macro the goals of Harry Kane and the youthful dynamism of Dele Alli

:15:25. > :15:26.makes Mauricio Pochettino's side the standout team in the country right

:15:27. > :15:35.now. Today, we are in a very good level.

:15:36. > :15:42.Faith, belief, I think are important for, but most important is to feel

:15:43. > :15:48.the faith and the belief, and when you feel it, and it is running in

:15:49. > :15:51.your body and your blood, that is most important.

:15:52. > :15:54.Spurs were once accused of parking the bus against Chelsea. That is

:15:55. > :15:56.unlikely to beat the case tomorrow, but who will make the trip back to

:15:57. > :15:57.Wembley for the final? The weekend's other FA Cup semifinal

:15:58. > :16:00.sees Arsenal play Manchester City The Gunners have won the Cup 12

:16:01. > :16:04.times, most recently two years ago. But manager Arsene Wenger insists

:16:05. > :16:08.how they do this year won't have any impact on his decision

:16:09. > :16:21.about his future at the club. It doesn't play any part in that,

:16:22. > :16:26.you know. The FA Cup is a very important game for me, because it is

:16:27. > :16:32.the next game, and because it is an opportunity, as I just told you, to

:16:33. > :16:34.win a trophy this season. So of course, we are all focused on that.

:16:35. > :16:37.My future is Sunday. Thousands of runners

:16:38. > :16:52.are preparing for the 2017 We sent our reporter to one of three

:16:53. > :16:57.start point in south-east London to see how preparations have been going

:16:58. > :17:01.for this year's London Marathon. Of all the marathons in all of the

:17:02. > :17:04.world, there is not one in which the thousands of runners can enjoy so

:17:05. > :17:10.many world Heritage and tourist sites as this, the London Marathon.

:17:11. > :17:15.The home of the marathon is just over there behind me. Preparations

:17:16. > :17:18.are virtually all done now, I had a start on Sunday, in which

:17:19. > :17:21.professional and fun runners will share the roads of London as they

:17:22. > :17:24.make their way over to the maul. Along the route will be tens of

:17:25. > :17:28.thousands of people like myself, cheering along the runners, people

:17:29. > :17:33.like Chris from Google bombing in Surrey. He has won five marathons

:17:34. > :17:36.already, but this will be the first he has run with a prosthetic leg

:17:37. > :17:40.after being involved in a car accident with his wife back in 2008.

:17:41. > :17:45.Knows the challenge is set by those determined to meet the challenge.

:17:46. > :17:49.They put me in a medically induced coma, and tried to save the like,

:17:50. > :17:53.but after ten days, that did not work out, so they took my leg.

:17:54. > :17:59.He will run another marathon, because that is his drive. It is in

:18:00. > :18:03.him, he is a runner. And that doesn't change. Just losing your leg

:18:04. > :18:08.doesn't change you are, and I just knew he would do it again.

:18:09. > :18:12.We whisk risk the very best on Sunday. You can see behind me some

:18:13. > :18:15.final preparations being put up on the grandstand towards the start of

:18:16. > :18:21.the route. These barriers will come down in time for Sunday. One thing

:18:22. > :18:24.we have to mention is security. Lots of people don't notice it for the

:18:25. > :18:28.London Marathon, but it is always there. This year, it will be

:18:29. > :18:31.particularly tight because of the Westminster Bridge attacks last

:18:32. > :18:35.month, and the Paris attacks yesterday. The Duke and Duchess of

:18:36. > :18:39.Cambridge and Prince Harry will join thousands of people along the route

:18:40. > :18:43.to cheer on the runners, and one thing is the certain, Londoners in

:18:44. > :18:47.typical London fashion, certainly won't be put up by the extra

:18:48. > :18:50.security, but they will be there, enjoying what we hope will be a real

:18:51. > :18:56.carnival atmosphere. The best of luck to all the runners. You can see

:18:57. > :18:59.all the latest on BBC television, online and on Radio London.

:19:00. > :19:02.Best of luck to every single person running.

:19:03. > :19:04.Now, it's one of the greatest celebrations of classical

:19:05. > :19:07.music in the world - and this year's line up for the BBC

:19:08. > :19:10.More than 90 concerts over eight weeks will feature

:19:11. > :19:12.established orchestras as well as some interesting debuts.

:19:13. > :19:14.Let's join Wendy Hurrell who's with some of this

:19:15. > :19:23.year's performers - this is musical heaven for you?

:19:24. > :19:30.It is about as close as one music lover can get, I can assure you,

:19:31. > :19:34.yes. I am in the beautiful Saint John's Church in Waterloo dizzying,

:19:35. > :19:39.and behind me are some very fine musicians. At the moment, they are

:19:40. > :19:40.rehearsing for a concert in Bristol on Sunday, but later this year, they

:19:41. > :19:53.will be at the Royal Albert Hall. The flag-waving last night of the

:19:54. > :19:55.Proms. This, it's 123rd year. This festival of classical music still

:19:56. > :19:59.attracts the greatest physicians from around the world. But there has

:20:00. > :20:02.been criticism that this great British institution does not always

:20:03. > :20:09.represent the diversity in our capital or country. So, in an effort

:20:10. > :20:11.to evolve, last year, some of the strings went to a car park in

:20:12. > :20:16.Peckham, and there will go again this year. There will also be

:20:17. > :20:22.performances in Wilton's Musical. The choir with no name, made up of

:20:23. > :20:27.homeless people, will be at the Royal Albert Hall for a special

:20:28. > :20:29.Proms workshop, singing Beethoven's's Choral Symphony. A

:20:30. > :20:35.slight departure from their usual genre.

:20:36. > :20:40.And making a debut, this orchestra, formed only 18 months ago, and a UK

:20:41. > :20:45.first. Chineke has really made huge waves

:20:46. > :20:49.in the classical music industry. Diversity and making sure that we

:20:50. > :20:52.have a diverse performance on stage, and diverse audiences is incredibly

:20:53. > :20:57.important for the Proms, as it is for the whole of classical music.

:20:58. > :21:02.And for the musicians, it is the place they most want to play.

:21:03. > :21:06.It is kind of what every young person watches the TV for at this

:21:07. > :21:10.time of year. If you play music, you will watch the Proms, or if you are

:21:11. > :21:14.fortunate enough, you will go and watch it live. It always inspired me

:21:15. > :21:19.growing up. It is the biggest celebration of music in the world,

:21:20. > :21:24.and so to be a part of that and share this kind of new idea and this

:21:25. > :21:25.new orchestra with Britain and the world, is obviously going to be an

:21:26. > :21:32.incredible experience. Well, someone who knows just how

:21:33. > :21:36.incredible it does feel to play at the Proms is one of our most

:21:37. > :21:39.celebrated, one of our most in demand double bassist, and also the

:21:40. > :21:46.founder of the Chineke orchestra here. It is a lady named Chi Chi.

:21:47. > :21:49.Tell me why you set this orchestra up.

:21:50. > :21:55.I think you cannot underestimate the power of role models, and there was

:21:56. > :22:01.a great gap in our industry, where people are black and minority ethnic

:22:02. > :22:04.backgrounds are completely underrepresented in the classical

:22:05. > :22:07.music world, and it was a no-brainer. I had lots of support

:22:08. > :22:13.from government and conservatories and places like that, so at the

:22:14. > :22:16.moment, we are rehearsing for our first chamber Orchestra outing,

:22:17. > :22:23.which will be at St George in Bristol on Sunday. But yes, a gross

:22:24. > :22:26.lack of misrepresentation. And you have played in London at the

:22:27. > :22:29.Queen Elizabeth Hall. Tell me what that concert was like, and the

:22:30. > :22:31.relationship to the audience as well?

:22:32. > :22:36.That was extraordinary, because there are certain things you can't

:22:37. > :22:40.predict, but now that it has happened, it makes complete sense

:22:41. > :22:46.that when you change what is presented, in other words, what is

:22:47. > :22:52.on stage, suddenly, the people who come to enjoy it our people who feel

:22:53. > :22:55.that they are represented. They can identify with the people who are on

:22:56. > :22:58.the stage, and so half of the audience looked like what I am used

:22:59. > :23:06.to playing two, and the other half of the audience that like London.

:23:07. > :23:11.Wonderful, wonderful. And they are just superb musicians, aren't they?

:23:12. > :23:15.You are missing a double bassist at the moment, database needed!

:23:16. > :23:18.Not doing too badly, this is the first day of rehearsals. This

:23:19. > :23:23.orchestra comes from all over the country, and I think there are two

:23:24. > :23:29.macro from Europe. But there are musicians of all ages. The juniors

:23:30. > :23:34.have joined us for this as well, which I think it's really important,

:23:35. > :23:37.to pass that baton, so we're bringing up the juniors who can hope

:23:38. > :23:41.with playing. Chi-Chi, I could talk to you

:23:42. > :23:42.forever. This is beautiful. Back to the studio.

:23:43. > :23:44.Thank you very much, Wendy. On that note, let's get

:23:45. > :23:46.a check on the weekend weather with Darren,

:23:47. > :23:51.who's here now. Hello. It should be pretty good this

:23:52. > :24:01.weekend. A bit more sunshine than today, hopefully. We have a picture

:24:02. > :24:04.from Ruthiebabes. The Queen's barge here in Twickenham. Shame we didn't

:24:05. > :24:07.have a bit more sunshine. I practised dominates our weather.

:24:08. > :24:12.This week whether front here will bring us change into tomorrow. We

:24:13. > :24:18.have all this cloud contracting into subzero air, which is why it is

:24:19. > :24:21.disappointingly cloudy, and still a lot of cloud around this evening.

:24:22. > :24:25.Not particularly cold, light breezes were the most part from the

:24:26. > :24:29.north-west. One or two holes in the car before it thickens up across

:24:30. > :24:35.northern areas later in the night. Pretty mild out there. Temperatures,

:24:36. > :24:40.7-9d. Tomorrow, quite cloudy in the morning, and we have this week

:24:41. > :24:42.whether front which I showed you a second ago, responsible bistro

:24:43. > :24:49.grisly showers which we will have around the morning, so quite damp

:24:50. > :24:53.from the North. That will boost the temperatures to 15 degrees, around

:24:54. > :24:57.average for this type of year. Dry into the evening. The first of the

:24:58. > :25:02.big football matches at Wembley, the London derby, should be fine and

:25:03. > :25:05.dry, pleasant evening on the way. A few showers overnight, which should

:25:06. > :25:11.be gone by Sunday morning. A chilly start for the marathon. Ideal what

:25:12. > :25:14.the form the most part, though it could get warmer later. -- ideal

:25:15. > :25:21.weather for the most part. Probably a dry day as well. Light winds, so

:25:22. > :25:27.that will be good for the runners, 15 or 16 degrees, quite likely.

:25:28. > :25:32.Things are going to change next week. This whether front is moving

:25:33. > :25:36.across the UK, and behind that, we get Arctic air spilling right the

:25:37. > :25:39.way across the country, which will drop the temperatures. We could get

:25:40. > :25:43.a bit of rain on that whether front on Monday. Certainly a lot of cloud.

:25:44. > :25:45.Cold air on Tuesday, and even the chance of some

:25:46. > :25:50.sharp showers. Showers in April! There is a thing. Thank you, Darren.

:25:51. > :25:54.On the election campaign we've had the first hints of some manifesto

:25:55. > :25:56.pledges including Theresa May saying she remains committed

:25:57. > :25:59.And Jeremy Corbyn campaigning on education promising

:26:00. > :26:03.The French authorities have revealed that the man who shot and killed

:26:04. > :26:07.a police officer in Paris last night had attacked the police previously.

:26:08. > :26:15.Karim Cheurfi was jailed in 2001 for firing at officers

:26:16. > :26:18.And we've got all things marathon on our Facebook Page,

:26:19. > :26:19.inspirational stories and top tips for runners.

:26:20. > :26:22.Good luck to everyone taking part. That's all for now, though.

:26:23. > :26:25.So from everyone on the team, thanks for watching
