:06:04. > :06:09.to ensure no animals get out, on this occasion it was an animal who
:06:10. > :06:14.got inside which caused the problem. An urban Fox made its way into
:06:15. > :06:18.Penguin be aware 28 penguins were living. It killed each of them, five
:06:19. > :06:26.adults and three infants and then escaped. How could happen?
:06:27. > :06:31.Chessington say there was no human error involved but astonishingly
:06:32. > :06:36.they say they had -- recently built these penguins and your home. They
:06:37. > :06:37.would not give us an interview on camera but this is a statement they
:06:38. > :06:38.put on their website. Penguin Bay was only built in 2015
:06:39. > :06:41.and had special measures put in place specifically to deter foxes
:06:42. > :06:44.and we are therefore shocked The eight penguins, five
:06:45. > :06:47.adults and three infants, were part of a group
:06:48. > :06:49.here at the resort. They are extremely popular
:06:50. > :06:51.with our guests and much loved by everyone here,
:06:52. > :06:53.especially our dedicated zoo team. The remaining penguins have been
:06:54. > :06:56.relocated while we make additional measures to secure Penguin Bay
:06:57. > :07:17.which we hope to reopen It seems that Chessington have been
:07:18. > :07:22.criticised about what happened? Absolutely, Arben Fox is no surprise
:07:23. > :07:29.in London, as common here as anywhere else in the capital. --
:07:30. > :07:35.urban foxes. You can see pictures of them now. Chessington say they
:07:36. > :07:38.believe this was an extremely cunning fox who managed to penetrate
:07:39. > :07:43.their defences. Animal rights activists say they should never have
:07:44. > :07:48.been allowed to happen. First and foremost the real tragedy is that
:07:49. > :07:53.these animals belong off the coast of South America and were kept in a
:07:54. > :07:58.tiny and inadequate enclosure in a zoo in Surrey where they could not
:07:59. > :08:03.even escape from this Fox. The reality is that Zeus cannot meet all
:08:04. > :08:09.the various nutritional, social and climate needs of animals they hold
:08:10. > :08:13.captive and the British public are wreaking art to the fact these are
:08:14. > :08:20.animal prisons who cannot ensure the safety of their inmates. An
:08:21. > :08:24.investigation is taking place, the penguins are being kept out of sight
:08:25. > :08:28.from the public at the moment, a real shame as the school holidays
:08:29. > :08:33.are on and lots of children would be hoping to catch sight of them. That
:08:34. > :08:39.is not possible at the moment. Also sad is the fact that zoos are
:08:40. > :08:43.supposed to protect animals like these penguins from just the sort of
:08:44. > :08:47.pets that happened to them on this occasion. Just -- just the sort of
:08:48. > :09:04.threat. A man who battered his girlfriend's

:17:06. > :17:09.that special day. You only ran about 250 metres
:17:10. > :17:18.so I had a running action that kind of looked like I wasn't
:17:19. > :17:20.going anywhere and the police officer said to me,
:17:21. > :17:23.could you run faster? I literally went as slow
:17:24. > :17:30.as I could so this moment in time would last as long as it possibly
:17:31. > :17:32.could and the police officers had to walk
:17:33. > :17:43.because I was going so slowly. I was surrounded on that day by some
:17:44. > :17:47.incredible people so the young lady that I passed the flame

:21:30. > :21:33.That is just one of the events. Do look at the right London website to
:21:34. > :21:42.see about the closures. It might affect you. Why is BMX the spot for
:21:43. > :21:51.you? It is all about how competitive it is for you? I love being
:21:52. > :21:55.competitive. It is also about going round the country and meeting new
:21:56. > :21:59.people and making new friends, it is good fun. What do you think it will
:22:00. > :22:05.be like to compete here on the former Olympic costs? It is so
:22:06. > :22:09.exciting, I am so happy everyone will come here. There will be lots
:22:10. > :22:14.of people and the jumps looked really good. Good luck, we look

:24:17. > :24:18.Like these cadets, they want the public to

:24:40. > :24:45.You get to see lots of different bits around you.
:24:46. > :24:53.Also the information is given to you, you take it in much better. The
:24:54. > :25:04.mad soldier will be worn away by rain, falling to the air. But
:25:05. > :25:06.hopefully the memories it invokes will not wash away so quickly.
:25:07. > :25:11.Now let's check on the Weather with Wendy.
:25:12. > :25:21.It was nice to see the sunshine after yesterday. When the cows sit
:25:22. > :25:26.down in the field, the rain is imminent. There is no scientific
:25:27. > :25:32.basis for this whatsoever. However, there is rain on the way. As it
:25:33. > :25:38.comes in, it will turn breezy. That will be a future for the rest of the
:25:39. > :25:46.week. This satellite pictures shows a swirl of cloud at the top. This
:25:47. > :25:52.cloud is melting away. It fragmented to let us see the blue sky
:25:53. > :25:59.underneath. Then we see this which will bring rain for tomorrow, not
:26:00. > :26:03.much of it. We are going to see, through the night, some breaks in
:26:04. > :26:10.the cloud with more pitching in from the west all the time. It will be
:26:11. > :26:15.quite a warm night, temperatures around 22 or 23 degrees. 16 degrees
:26:16. > :26:20.in central London tonight. We start the day tomorrow with some hints of
:26:21. > :26:23.brightness first thing, if you're up early but it will quickly cloud
:26:24. > :26:30.over. The bees will pick up and the rain will come in, towards noon. It
:26:31. > :26:34.is going to be fragmented all the time, it will be light and patchy.
:26:35. > :26:43.Temperatures will struggle under the cloud. By the end of the day, parts
:26:44. > :26:50.of society and west of London will see a return to sunny skies as the
:26:51. > :26:55.front moves away from us. These might be the scenes we see towards
:26:56. > :27:00.the end of the week, perhaps not as many showers as captured by the
:27:01. > :27:08.weather watchers on Saturday. They will be about however, dotted about
:27:09. > :27:13.on Thursday, mainly light, one or too heavy. Temperatures roundabout
:27:14. > :27:17.right for the time of year, still breezy and unsettled so not perfect
:27:18. > :27:30.weather but typical for the country, I think. Thank you.
:27:31. > :27:40.The mother of Charlie Gard is back at the High Court to date to allow
:27:41. > :27:42.her to take her son home. I will be back later with the ten o'clock news
:27:43. > :27:46.but do have a lovely evening.
