# In other words, in other words, I love you. Fly me

City hall flags at half mast as London pays

tribute to the victims of the Barcelona attacks.

Coming so soon after the London terror attacks, a nasty shock. It is

another thing to do with, Spanish, British, international, we keep

going. We'll hear how Scotland yard

is to help Spanish police battle with Essex Police,

he could be awarded millions. Entertainer Michael Barrymore wins

a long running legal battle with Essex Police,

he could be awarded millions. The latest victim of cyber flashing

on how dozens of inappropriate # We could have been anything that

we wanted to be #. A special performance from those

affected by the Grenfell Tower fire. Good evening and welcome

to the programme. Five First tonight: Londoners have

been paying tribute to the victims The Mayor, Sadiq Khan,

has sent a message of solidarity and flags are flying at half mast

at City Hall. There've been messages of condolence

too from traders at Borough Market - some of whom were caught up

in a very similar attack in June when three terrorists

killed eight people. City Hall, London,

stands united with Spain. The images are a stark reminder -

panicked faces, and police. The terror on the streets

of Barcelona was, not so long ago, Many Catalans living here, working

here, or just visiting, watched As yesterday's horrific attack

played out, the Orfeo Catala Choir was playing here at

Southwark Cathedral. Founded in 1891, it is

a Catalan institution. Today, as news continues to filter

in of the full extent of the attack, the choir are trying to come

to terms with what has There where people in the choir

telling me yesterday, when we came, we said,

it is peculiar that we still haven't had any terrorist

attacks in Barcelona. I knew that it would happen

because I work near there and there were always the Catalan

police, Mossos. So they were expecting

something like that. Of course, the terrorist attacks

in Spain are remarkably similar to what happened

here at London Bridge in June. Three terrorists drove

a van at pedestrians and then ran through here,

stabbing people randomly. Eight people were killed

and around 50 injured. For many in Borough Market,

the emotions of that Staff at this Spanish shop knew some

of those killed in the attack and face an anxious wait for news

of friends and family in Barcelona. Luckily, it looks like none

of our close colleagues or friends Obviously, coming so soon

after the London terror attacks, it is just a really nasty shock and,

as a business, we have sent out We have a lot of

Catalonian suppliers. The images from the London Bridge

attack are still so vivid. Now, our European neighbours

are coming to terms We've heard today that

the Met Police will be helping Spanish police

with their investigation. Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley

has issued a statement. On a weekly thing that he said, the

most obvious side of the cooperation, the fact that the

police have been at UK ports of entry talking to holiday-makers

coming back from those areas in Spain to collect eyewitness

testimony that could go back to the investigation back in Spain. As well

as that, he also told us about the fact there are liaising officers all

across the world who could help link these investigations

internationally. Also, he talked about reassurance, saying that the

Met police remain continuing reviewing their security measures

and also people should remain vigilant but not alarmed. Also,

advice for those caught up in the terrorist attack? What do you do if

you are a British tourist, any one of these tourist hotspots, and

caught up in this kind of situation? Run, fine summer that is safe.

Sometimes, you cannot do that, so the next advice is find somewhere to

hide. YJ have found someone you feel secure, but your phone on silent,

make sure it is not on vibrate, and if you are able to barricade

yourself in. Call the emergency services. It sounds like common

sense but they are simple steps that need to be prioritised.

that in perspective... 45% of the journeys were made

by the passengers, rather than people shifting over

'cyber flashing' has been talking about how she received more

than 100 rude images on her It's believed an increasing number

of people are falling victim to the trend but choosing not

to go to the police. Today's version of the man in the

dirty mac. Sarah suddenly became the victim of so-called cyber flashing.

I was sent a request to receive over 100 images. I was confused and aware

there was a small child sat next to me. I felt embarrassed more than

anything. Then, it transitioned into anger. Sophie was targeted because

her phone was connected to a drop. A simple programme that allows the

sharing of material on iPhone. If I want to send it to some person, the

person has to be close by and has to have air drop open on their phone.

If you set your phone to receive files from everyone, not stretch of

friends, anyone within 30 feet can send you what they like. When Sophie

went public, dozens of women got in touch to say the same thing had

happened to them. There are warnings that the problem could be

considerably worse. It might not necessarily occur to women to report

they had incensed this kind of material, and it might be ashamed,

not think it is a matter for the police. It is a matter for the

police? Whether it happens online or off-line, flashing is flashing. The

dedicated cyber crime unit said... There are even claims now that by

leaving airdrop switched on, a woman is effectively asking to be sent

obscene pictures. Something that, services, goes against everyone's

Two Thousands of people attend festivals in London

over the summer months - but as the number of them increase

so do the complaints about litter, noise and anti-social behaviour.

You would see big lorries coming in from the main road there.

I can quite understand why they want to use

The mess left afterwards is becoming more and more of a problem.

Now, do these two images look similar to you?

is that of the local part-time team Wembley FC.

But they may now have to remove the word Wembley after a complaint

Chairman Brian Gunn fears the eventual legal costs

and rebranding could run into thousands of pounds.

I feel gutted, really, to think I have to pay their cost

They have not even had the decency to notify me that this

Last year they asked the EU to cancel Wembley FC's trademark,

I honestly believe the FA and Budweiser, because they wanted

It only take action when an amicable resolution does not seem possible.

Last year Team GB's Hockey team were gold medallists

Many of the women are preparing to start the defence

And, as Emma Jones explains, now there's the chance

for you to see some of the stars back here in London next summer.

It was without a doubt the most crazy evening of my life.

And for the rest of the girls, it was so surreal.

I still look at a gold medal and think, is that man?

Now, an England hockey team that includes

many of those gold medallists is preparing to defend their European

title, with some slightly starstruck new additions.

night the GB hockey girls won their gold.

It is an absolute honour to play on the same field, day in

and day out, with girls that I have flocked up to for many years.

Again, my team-mates now. It is pretty cool.

England won the European hockey Championships as the hosts

The next big and it comes to the capital, the

For me, you want to play in a home World Cup and Olympics. You have

that 12th man when you do it. 12,000 home fans screaming for England

would be incredible. I certainly would love to be able to play in the

tournament and that would be my aim for the next year. The public ballot

for tickets opens next year but thousands have already been sold. No

doubt people looking forward to more moments like these.

Those involved with a play involving children who live

near to Grenfell Tower say the production has helped them

to forget the terrible events of the tragedy.

Some of the young people witnessed the blaze,

Last night they put on a special performance of Bugsy Malone -

Caroline Davies went along to see it.

Backstage, the cast are feeling confident.

I used to be stage fright, and now, when I did this play,

for some reason I felt like I was doing it so easily.

Bugsy Malone has only been in rehearsal for four days,

but it's already made an impact on these children, many

of whom were affected by the fire at Grenfell Tower.

It was very terrifying to watch that happen,

and it's not nice to look at Grenfell Tower ever again.

Loads of people here that are doing the play have

So just people, like, they act, they express themselves

and they forget about it and they just...

# We could have been anything that we wanted to be...#.

It's part of a free sports and arts programme for children

It has been good for the girls to come here,

Bernadette's brother Raymond died in the fire.

Everybody's felt what happened at Grenfell nationwide,

but to be in the community just brings everybody together, and

And the children are all feeling the same pain, so they can

all talk to each other and comfort each other.

Her granddaughters are playing Bugsy and the villain.

I felt excited because I had never really been bad like that.

You have to focused on playing the character at certain times

and you are not really thinking about anything else except focusing.

I think this has given children the opportunity to forget anything

that's gone on and really enjoy themselves, and that's what we've

tried to deliver this summer over the last five weeks,

and I think we've achieved that from this production

and from the smiles on the children's faces every day.

And, of course, it's hard not to smile when you've got a splurge gun.

Now, a look at the weather with Darren Bett.

Prospects for the weekend were pretty good. That is not saying in

part because the weather has been poor through the month. We mist the

showers today, but a different story... A classic bottom of a storm

cloud across the London area, producing heavy VLA. Not just rain,

we also had thunder and lightning. Fans whistle on their way eastwards.

The first area has cleared out of the way. South of the river, things

could stay dry. To the north, more in the way of rain. Things tending

to quietening down toward the end of the night. Temperatures around about

ten or 11. Not many showers over the weekend. Sunshine Marantz, the wind

is not as strong as today. The westerly breeze as we move into

tomorrow. Sunshine as we begin the day. We will see the cloud bubbling

up as the temperatures rise. You could stay dry, by the looks of

things. 21 at best, a little below par-mac. Sunday, the sunshine may

well turn hazy to the afternoon as we see higher cloud. At the moment,

try. Some uncertainty about Sunday and beyond Sunday because remnants

of the old Harry Kane across the Atlantic into the mix.

Hurricane. Behind the weather front, warmer air. Temperatures dropping

over the past few days compared to what we were out at the beginning of

the week. Monday and Tuesday, temperatures rising and possibly

getting as high as 27 Celsius. Muggy air and a threat of showers and

thunderstorms returning possibly. The veteran entertainer

and presenter of many successful TV shows,

including Strictly, had been Spanish police believe a cell
