:00:00. > :00:00.happens all the time. That's a special report coming up at 10.00pm

:00:00. > :00:08.Tonight on BBC London News... tonight.

:00:09. > :00:11.30 arrests in dawn raids this morning,

:00:12. > :00:14.ahead of the Notting Hill Carnival, but a row breaks out over

:00:15. > :00:20.If there are criminals operating, they should be doing this throughout

:00:21. > :00:23.the year and it should not just beyond the eve of the carnival

:00:24. > :00:26.they are making a big show about guns and drugs and crime.

:00:27. > :00:31.The grime artist Stormzy says double standards are at play,

:00:32. > :00:34.but the Met says the raids help prevent drug and knife crime.

:00:35. > :00:41.Almost all of London's boroughs are missing their recycling targets.

:00:42. > :00:46.Plus the 18th-century painting saved for the nation

:00:47. > :00:54.at a cost of ?11 million to the National Gallery.

:00:55. > :00:58.And a big bowler hat and a flare for fancy dress -

:00:59. > :01:12.a new exhibition celebrates the wonderful world of Mr Benn.

:01:13. > :01:14.Good evening and welcome to the programme.

:01:15. > :01:21.In just five days' time, 2 million people will take

:01:22. > :01:24.to the streets of West London for the Notting Hill Carnival.

:01:25. > :01:27.It's by far the Met Police's biggest operation every year,

:01:28. > :01:29.and this morning, in a series of dawn raids, they arrested more

:01:30. > :01:32.than 30 people they think may cause trouble there.

:01:33. > :01:34.It's part of a crackdown against knife crime,

:01:35. > :01:42.But there is also criticism of these now annual raids.

:01:43. > :01:44.Some ask if they are more for the benefit

:01:45. > :01:52.It is dawn, a very different type of wake-up call.

:01:53. > :02:03.The Met Police's targeted raids at 21 different addresses

:02:04. > :02:09.All within the boroughs of Kensington and Chelsea,

:02:10. > :02:13.It is 5:30am and about ten special police officers have just raided

:02:14. > :02:18.What we know is that there's seven people inside,

:02:19. > :02:20.five of those have been arrested and one of those has

:02:21. > :02:22.swallowed something, and so they have called an ambulance

:02:23. > :02:28.The aim of this is to make sure that those arrested here don't turn

:02:29. > :02:35.What has happened here has taken two months to plan.

:02:36. > :02:38.We start off with this dynamic entry which you heard -

:02:39. > :02:42.Then once we have done that and we have secured

:02:43. > :02:44.those people inside, then we slow things down and make

:02:45. > :02:46.sure we do a methodical search of the premises,

:02:47. > :02:48.looking for the evidence that is included on the warrant.

:02:49. > :02:51.So on this occasion, it will be class A drugs and items

:02:52. > :02:55.Those arrested will be bailed under strict conditions which police say

:02:56. > :02:59.will prevent them from turning up at the Carnival this weekend.

:03:00. > :03:03.In a control centre five miles away, Mark Bird and his team of 75

:03:04. > :03:06.officers will keep a watchful eye over the event.

:03:07. > :03:09.This BBC documentary shows how complex and difficult it can be

:03:10. > :03:13.to police an event that attracts millions of people.

:03:14. > :03:16.So were today's raids mark of an exercise

:03:17. > :03:19.of public reassurance, or genuine policing strategy?

:03:20. > :03:24.Our endeavours are about keeping the carnival safe and free from

:03:25. > :03:29.How on earth are you going to monitor the people that

:03:30. > :03:34.We have a range of tactics which will include, obviously,

:03:35. > :03:40.the use of CCTV, automatic number plate recognition, and there will be

:03:41. > :03:43.plainclothed officers and other tactics that we will use to keep

:03:44. > :03:51.I don't understand why they need to be showing off and saying, look,

:03:52. > :03:59.This is a big issue and we are going to close it

:04:00. > :04:03.If there are criminals operating, they should be doing this throughout

:04:04. > :04:06.the year and it should not just be on the eve of the carnival

:04:07. > :04:10.These are the people police believe may cause trouble and ruin

:04:11. > :04:18.Well, our reporter Katherine Carpenter joins me now.

:04:19. > :04:21.And we heard in that report questions about the relevance

:04:22. > :04:25.of these raids and tonight others have waded in.

:04:26. > :04:37.The South London rapper Stormzy has waded into this. If you are not

:04:38. > :04:49.familiar with him, this is his work. HE WRAPS. He has a huge fan base,

:04:50. > :04:53.but earlier today on Twitter, he made a response to a social media

:04:54. > :04:58.post about the Met had put out about the raids and this is what he said.

:04:59. > :05:02.He said how many drugs did you see is in the run-up to Glastonbury? Or

:05:03. > :05:07.are we only doing tweets like this for black events? Why does it matter

:05:08. > :05:12.what he says? He has a huge fan base, more than 900,000 followers on

:05:13. > :05:16.Twitter comic he is also known for speaking out on issues that resonate

:05:17. > :05:20.with young people. During the last general election he came out in

:05:21. > :05:23.favour of Jeremy Corbyn and he's one of the artists credited with

:05:24. > :05:26.boosting support for Labour in that election. When he tweets something

:05:27. > :05:31.like this, likely to resonate with lots of people going to the Carnival

:05:32. > :05:35.and people who may not have known about the police raids, people who

:05:36. > :05:40.do not engage with news programmes like ours for example. This

:05:41. > :05:44.intervention by him paints those raids in a negative light. That is

:05:45. > :05:50.think that is problematic for the Met. They know policing the Notting

:05:51. > :05:54.Hill Carnival is controversial it has been for years and they are

:05:55. > :06:03.Cathal with this subject. They reiterated to me that these raids

:06:04. > :06:12.were intelligence red Dell like, it was their duty to make arrests to

:06:13. > :06:12.keep the public 's safe and avoid problems.

:06:13. > :06:14.Thank you very much. And we'll be live

:06:15. > :06:18.in Notting Hill later in the programme looking at how

:06:19. > :06:28.preparations are going And I will be here with the mangrove

:06:29. > :06:32.Carnival steel band talking to survivors of the Grenfell Tower a

:06:33. > :06:36.about how Carnival with all its sounds and beautiful colours is

:06:37. > :06:40.helping to provide a positive focus for their anger and grief.

:06:41. > :06:44.Only three London boroughs are meeting their recycling targets,

:06:45. > :06:46.according to figures obtained by this programme.

:06:47. > :06:50.London's councils are all meant to be recycling 45% of their waste,

:06:51. > :06:54.but the overwhelming majority are failing to do so.

:06:55. > :06:58.In the first part of our series on how we deal with the city's

:06:59. > :07:02.rubbish, here's our environment correspondent Tom Edwards.

:07:03. > :07:08.Do Londoners recycle enough of their household waste?

:07:09. > :07:13.No, says Paul, a self-confessed recycling anorak.

:07:14. > :07:16.He has even set up a charity to encourage it.

:07:17. > :07:19.He lives in Newham, but he is a rarity in this part of London.

:07:20. > :07:31.This area has the worst recycling rate in the capital.

:07:32. > :07:34.Newham, 40% of its housing is flats, and you can't easily

:07:35. > :07:36.recycle in flats without having some kind of recycling area.

:07:37. > :07:40.So you are building in London, and we're building on every square

:07:41. > :07:47.foot, so you have to make allowances, you have to do it now

:07:48. > :07:50.while you are building new to make you have got

:07:51. > :07:53.Next door to Paul, these flats have no recycling facilities at all.

:07:54. > :07:56.So this block of flats here, where is the recycling?

:07:57. > :08:04.This is just the one bin that takes the recycling and the rubbish.

:08:05. > :08:06.So this is the big problem across London?

:08:07. > :08:08.This is the whole problem with Newham.

:08:09. > :08:11.And across London, there is a mixed picture for the amount of household

:08:12. > :08:16.The best is Bexley, recycling 52%, followed by Bromley and Kingston.

:08:17. > :08:18.The worst are Lewisham, Westminster and Newham,

:08:19. > :08:25.where just 14.7% of household waste is recycled.

:08:26. > :08:27.There are lots of different reasons why different areas have

:08:28. > :08:33.Some of them are practical and about space.

:08:34. > :08:36.For example, flats have less room for all the bins, and some

:08:37. > :08:46.Some communities are less aware of recycling.

:08:47. > :08:49.And different boroughs also have different schemes for recycling.

:08:50. > :08:53.Bexley say they are now seeing a commercial value in recycling

:08:54. > :09:02.In Bexley, it's cheaper for us to recycle than it is to throw away.

:09:03. > :09:11.So if anything, we've been trying to put more efforts into getting

:09:12. > :09:14.more stuff recycled because it costs us over ?100 a tonne to send

:09:15. > :09:15.things to the waste, the energy plant.

:09:16. > :09:17.When we recycle paper, we actually get paid.

:09:18. > :09:22.Increasing recycling rates is a key ambition of the mayor.

:09:23. > :09:25.He wants 65% of the London's waste recycled by 2030.

:09:26. > :09:38.But helping the boroughs to get there will be a huge challenge.

:09:39. > :09:40.How far should the welfare state stretch?

:09:41. > :09:42.Should taxpayers, for example, pay for free Wi-Fi for

:09:43. > :09:47.Well, that's exactly what's happening in Tower Hamlets.

:09:48. > :09:49.The council has approved ?1.75 million to bring free

:09:50. > :09:57.Wi-Fi to town centres and social housing in a bid to close

:09:58. > :09:59.the digital divide between rich and poor.

:10:00. > :10:05.50-year-old Mark Lewis has been out of work for a year.

:10:06. > :10:07.He had a job interview last night which he only got

:10:08. > :10:09.by having Internet access, but he can't afford

:10:10. > :10:13.Going to the library, it is half an hour to get down there.

:10:14. > :10:16.You are not always 100% guaranteed to get a computer to get

:10:17. > :10:18.online, because sometimes the machines are down.

:10:19. > :10:21.So I am sending my CV out pretty much every day and getting replies

:10:22. > :10:32.I had the job interview and that was by sending my CV

:10:33. > :10:34.to the company and getting a reply that day.

:10:35. > :10:37.What would be most useful to Mark is Wi-Fi so he can constantly check

:10:38. > :10:41.Tower Hamlets Council is going to put free

:10:42. > :10:46.They say lots of their residents don't have access to Wi-Fi,

:10:47. > :10:49.including 24% of residents living in low income households,

:10:50. > :10:54.40% of residents with disabilities and 45% of people over 50.

:10:55. > :10:57.We think that investing in this Wi-Fi for all will help people

:10:58. > :10:59.with day-to-day activities and it will save them money

:11:00. > :11:05.For example, it will help people to help their kids to do

:11:06. > :11:08.homework in the evenings, it will make it easier for people

:11:09. > :11:10.to pay their bills online, which we know has cost

:11:11. > :11:15.The first places to get the free Wi-Fi will be here at Watney Market

:11:16. > :11:17.as well as Brick Lane and Chrisp Street.

:11:18. > :11:20.It will be for the local businesses as well as around 130,000 residents

:11:21. > :11:26.The council is spending ?1.75 million on it.

:11:27. > :11:29.They are calling it free Wi-Fi, but it is not actually free

:11:30. > :11:31.because people in Tower Hamlets will be paying for this

:11:32. > :11:36.And council tax has gone up by over 4% over the last year,

:11:37. > :11:41.and that is a lot for hard-pressed families on low incomes.

:11:42. > :11:49.But many argue that with so much moving online, including

:11:50. > :11:53.applications for benefits, access to the internet is essential.

:11:54. > :11:55.The biggest is actually moving onto Universal Credit so people

:11:56. > :12:02.The free Wi-Fi won't start to be in place until next autumn.

:12:03. > :12:05.Mark is hoping for good news after last night's interview

:12:06. > :12:11.so that he does not need to worry about being online all the time.

:12:12. > :12:16.it's just five days to go before the 51st Notting Hill carnival.

:12:17. > :12:19.And in the wake of the Grenfell fire this year, it will feel very

:12:20. > :12:25.The route passes near to what remains of the tower.

:12:26. > :12:27.Organisers are asking anyone going to dress in "Green

:12:28. > :12:31.for Grenfell" to show their support for the survivors.

:12:32. > :12:33.There will also be a one-minute silence on Sunday and Monday

:12:34. > :12:40.Our Reporter Greg McKenzie is at a steel band workshop

:12:41. > :12:51.in Notting Hill for us tonight with preparations well underway.

:12:52. > :12:57.Is the Tabernacle where we have these deal bands getting prepared to

:12:58. > :13:02.invite numbers of the public in to have lessons on how to play the

:13:03. > :13:07.steel pans. I have been speaking to the organisers of those earlier

:13:08. > :13:11.today. The final preparations are well underway here at the Tabernacle

:13:12. > :13:16.in Notting Hill gate. It is a hive of activity and the home to

:13:17. > :13:20.Mangrove, a steel band and the Carnival troupe who will be dressed

:13:21. > :13:26.in Carnival attired this weekend. And this year there are plenty of

:13:27. > :13:33.themes. It started from a Hawaiian theme and then we further to that to

:13:34. > :13:41.more Polynesian theme so we have got three sections and they are all

:13:42. > :13:44.Polynesian gods and represent something different. For instance,

:13:45. > :13:51.one is a green costume and she was the god of childbirth and nature so

:13:52. > :13:57.they have all got a bit of history going on which is cool. Mangrove are

:13:58. > :14:02.arguably one of the biggest steel bands to take part in the Carnival

:14:03. > :14:05.and have been for the last 30 years. Getting ready with the steel band

:14:06. > :14:11.and getting ready for the competition on Saturday, out this

:14:12. > :14:15.evening we will do some workshops for people to come along and have a

:14:16. > :14:20.go to learn how to play steel pan as well as learn how to do some

:14:21. > :14:24.carnival dance in the studio and downstairs people can take part in

:14:25. > :14:29.costume making. More than 1 million people are expected to attend the

:14:30. > :14:34.two-day event marking 51 years of Carnival, so expect more than 60

:14:35. > :14:42.steel bands, 40 sound systems, countless dancers and of course

:14:43. > :14:45.plenty of Caribbean food. Of course Carnival will be marked

:14:46. > :14:52.this year wearing Green for Grenfell Tower with us is one of these

:14:53. > :14:57.months ago, you are on the 15th months ago, you are on the 15th

:14:58. > :15:04.floor, Carnival is quite significantly poignant this year.

:15:05. > :15:13.Indeed. It is what we have been through. As you can see, when we

:15:14. > :15:17.have Carnival coming, I believe we will have this with organisation

:15:18. > :15:21.with the Carnival, so we have a lot of support from them to organise

:15:22. > :15:25.because they were of the situation and the family we lost as well so it

:15:26. > :15:30.is important to us to make sure the Carnival is going to be nice and

:15:31. > :15:41.smooth and what I try to say is without any trouble or interfering,

:15:42. > :15:45.especially around the building, so we had a discussion with the

:15:46. > :15:49.chairman of the organisation and hopefully it will be nice and

:15:50. > :15:53.organised and secure. And in terms of some survivors, they were not

:15:54. > :15:59.happy with carnival taking place. You were one who wanted the Carnival

:16:00. > :16:04.for the community spirit? It is not that I want I do not want it, it is

:16:05. > :16:12.the Carnival we cannot stop it because it has been there for many

:16:13. > :16:16.years and we had a proposal from the Organisation for the Carnival and

:16:17. > :16:21.they say that it is how it is going to be. I had a conversation with the

:16:22. > :16:30.do not mind, it is just they like to do not mind, it is just they like to

:16:31. > :16:36.know how it is going to be. Thank you. Joining us also is the chairman

:16:37. > :16:39.of the Notting Hill Carnival. 51st year Carnival this year. In terms of

:16:40. > :16:44.the tone of Carnival in light of Grenfell Tower how are you going to

:16:45. > :16:50.organise it? This year we wanted to be a celebration. The Carnival will

:16:51. > :16:53.be a celebration. We will honour the people, these survivors and the

:16:54. > :16:59.people who have passed away in Grenfell Tower and having a minute's

:17:00. > :17:05.silence on the Sunday. Before that, we will have a multi-faith prayer

:17:06. > :17:13.and after that we will carry on with carnival. And Monday, we want to

:17:14. > :17:21.bring the whole of Carnival to a standstill, everybody plays respect

:17:22. > :17:25.to the victims of Grenfell Tower 's in terms of the grime artist from

:17:26. > :17:30.London comic he has gone to Twitter to criticise the Met police in the

:17:31. > :17:33.raids they had on potential carnival goers. He said they have been

:17:34. > :17:37.targeted specifically at a Black event. What would you say to those

:17:38. > :17:43.comments? I do not want to comment on that. The Met police have their

:17:44. > :17:48.job to do and we organisers have our job and we organise the Carnival.

:17:49. > :17:50.They are doing what they have to do. Thank you very much. The Carnival

:17:51. > :17:51.will take place on Sunday and Monday.

:17:52. > :17:55.Thank you very much. A big bowler hat and

:17:56. > :18:02.a flare for fancy dress - a new exhibition celebrates

:18:03. > :18:07.the wonderful world of Mr Benn. And I'm finding out why these sheep

:18:08. > :18:10.are grazing in pastures new, right outside Buckingham Palace

:18:11. > :18:19.in the middle of Green Park. Next, these two

:18:20. > :18:22.masterpieces by the Italian Renaissance painter Titian made

:18:23. > :18:25.the headlines when they were They were bought, in part,

:18:26. > :18:30.by the National Gallery Now the gallery has once again found

:18:31. > :18:35.millions to save a Renaissance Well let's speak to our reporter

:18:36. > :18:49.Dan Freedman who's there. This is a real treat. I'm in the

:18:50. > :18:53.National Gallery in central London on the day they take delivery of

:18:54. > :18:59.their latest national treasure. It is a fortress... You can see it

:19:00. > :19:02.here. It is back to regular. He was the nephew of another painter and

:19:03. > :19:07.employs a number of the same techniques. He then had to raise

:19:08. > :19:11.?11.5 million of cash to keep it in the country otherwise it would have

:19:12. > :19:15.gone to a foreign investor. I'm joined now from a member of the

:19:16. > :19:19.gallery full stop you must be delighted. We are ecstatic, a huge

:19:20. > :19:24.amount of effort to raise that kind of money for a private campaign,

:19:25. > :19:27.trusts, individuals, a huge contribution from the Art fund, we

:19:28. > :19:34.are thrilled that this is here for the nation for Rover. How big a loss

:19:35. > :19:40.would it have been? Would have been absolutely monumental. We are very

:19:41. > :19:46.rich in views of Venice, the kind of paintings brought here in the 18th

:19:47. > :19:50.century. We do not have any views by this artist of this money mental

:19:51. > :19:59.ambition, this incredible precision that use the. This gives the

:20:00. > :20:03.opportunity to introduce him to a British public and should see his

:20:04. > :20:08.most ambitious work. Congratulations on your success. You can see his

:20:09. > :20:10.work here at Dean a shop Gallery from today.

:20:11. > :20:12.Now, if you're walking through or driving past

:20:13. > :20:14.Green Park this week, don't be surprised if

:20:15. > :20:22.they're helping flowers to flourish and grow.

:20:23. > :20:25.The rare-breed sheep are part of a conservation trial taking place

:20:26. > :20:29.Tourists passing through Green Park today might have been

:20:30. > :20:33.A flock of sheep complete with a farmer and his dog.

:20:34. > :20:36.Esmeralda and her mates are grazing in a meadow not far

:20:37. > :20:39.from Buckingham Palace to help with the conservation project

:20:40. > :20:42.Here we got a hover fly which are really

:20:43. > :20:48.She's measuring how insects such as bees and butterflies

:20:49. > :20:54.The hope is the sheep will help by keeping down the grass

:20:55. > :20:57.so the flowers can grow and the insects can feed on them.

:20:58. > :20:59.So our wild flower meadows are particularly important

:21:00. > :21:07.They are also home, as we can hear at the moment, to lots

:21:08. > :21:11.And they are really a haven for a wide variety of invertebrates.

:21:12. > :21:14.The sheep are here to eat this kind of grass, the rough stuff,

:21:15. > :21:18.And because there are rare and native breeds,

:21:19. > :21:20.they are accustomed to eating this kind of forage.

:21:21. > :21:22.And in fact, they seem to quite like it.

:21:23. > :21:26.They love the fact they are walking around in a massive mixed

:21:27. > :21:28.salad at the moment, you know, because the wild flower

:21:29. > :21:33.meadow has such a wide variety of different species of plant

:21:34. > :21:35.which provide the sheep with an amazingly large amount

:21:36. > :21:42.So you will see them selectively grazing around the area

:21:43. > :21:48.And so are the visitors, who are taking delight

:21:49. > :21:52.in an unexpected taste of the countryside.

:21:53. > :21:55.We were very surprised because it is like in the middle

:21:56. > :22:02.Because it is something for children and it is natural

:22:03. > :22:08.Even though it is only a small piece of ground,

:22:09. > :22:11.It brings a bit of peace in the city.

:22:12. > :22:13.It has added something that would not be here

:22:14. > :22:18.The sheep are only here for a week, but if the trial is a success,

:22:19. > :22:25.they could be on the move again to other London parks.

:22:26. > :22:28.Now, you'll have to be of a certain age to have grown up

:22:29. > :22:34.This year, Mr Benn and his bowler hat turns 50.

:22:35. > :22:39.To celebrate, an exhibition opens tomorrow.

:22:40. > :22:42.Alice Bhandhukravi has been speaking to Mr Benn's creator David McKee

:22:43. > :22:47.about the character and how his home in Putney was pivotal to the plot.

:22:48. > :22:50.He was the straitlaced, bowler hatted character from many

:22:51. > :22:57.The man who regularly made his way from his house to the local fancy

:22:58. > :23:01.dress shop where he took on a new persona.

:23:02. > :23:02.Each costume meant a different escapade,

:23:03. > :23:09.Inside the little room, Mr Benn put on the Roman clothes

:23:10. > :23:14.Here we have your original illustrations from Mr Benn.

:23:15. > :23:29.I was always fascinated by mirrors from when I was young and went

:23:30. > :23:31.to the hairdressers to have my hair cut.

:23:32. > :23:35.So I wanted him to be correct and I didn't want him to be

:23:36. > :23:39.I wanted him to be as neutral as possible so anybody

:23:40. > :23:42.And the bowler hat was something I have always liked.

:23:43. > :23:45.Welcome to Festing Road, home of Mr Benn and his

:23:46. > :23:53.And it is here that Mr Benn was first imagined -

:23:54. > :24:01.The man who lives there now is a big fan. They are lovely simple stories,

:24:02. > :24:04.positive stories, lots of cartoon characters are quite destructive

:24:05. > :24:09.coming you think of Tom and Jerry trying to knock the hell out of each

:24:10. > :24:13.other, but Mr Benn always had something positive. He taught

:24:14. > :24:18.cavemen how to build houses and he taught the nights how to love the

:24:19. > :24:23.dragon rather than kill it. So positive they have named a nearby

:24:24. > :24:37.alley in honour of these stories. It is the straightest road I have ever

:24:38. > :24:41.seen, Ford Mr Ben. . It is more flattering, I cannot think of

:24:42. > :24:50.anything more flattering than that. Thank you again, he said. See you

:24:51. > :24:54.again, I hope. The writer... He did confide one thing. If you had to

:24:55. > :25:00.choose a first name for Mr Benn, it would have been William.

:25:01. > :25:03.Now the weather with Elizabeth Rizzini.

:25:04. > :25:10.It was a little bit better today. It was a bit. We used the word

:25:11. > :25:14.was a disappointment because we was a disappointment because we

:25:15. > :25:18.thought we could get up to 27 degrees, but the cloud was very slow

:25:19. > :25:26.to break and we did not get much past 23. We have a nice picture

:25:27. > :25:33.here, now silent Big Ben and we have refute cloud breaks so thank you for

:25:34. > :25:37.taking that one. These are the skies most of us were treated to. Some are

:25:38. > :25:42.rather misty, making conditions to start the day. There will be changes

:25:43. > :25:45.tomorrow onwards, losing the humid air from tomorrow afternoon turning

:25:46. > :25:49.fresher, there will be sunny spells for the rest of the week, but the

:25:50. > :25:54.possibility of some showers. I have to stress, lots of dry weather. We

:25:55. > :25:58.have a line of showers that have worked its way eastwards from the

:25:59. > :26:02.Isle of Wight and knocking on the door of Western counties so you may

:26:03. > :26:07.see some showers on your commute home from work, that they will fade

:26:08. > :26:13.away through the night, lots of this will reform overnight and we will

:26:14. > :26:18.stay mild, starting the morning on around 17 degrees, lots of moisture

:26:19. > :26:22.in the air in the muggy humid feel. Sunny spells tomorrow morning and we

:26:23. > :26:27.will have weak cold front coming through, we will not noted this,

:26:28. > :26:33.lots of rain further north, and then it will brighten up again through

:26:34. > :26:37.the middle of the late part of the afternoon, some sunshine, but the

:26:38. > :26:41.air will feel a bit fresher with a westerly wind, but temperatures up

:26:42. > :26:45.to 24. Some of the highest temperatures we will see in the

:26:46. > :26:49.morning then cooler by the afternoon. Thursday, probably a nice

:26:50. > :26:57.day, if you showers, but largely dry with lots of sunshine, and Friday

:26:58. > :27:01.looks similar, maybe 24 on Friday. Bank holiday weekend, some

:27:02. > :27:05.uncertainty, so my advice would be staging. We could see showers on

:27:06. > :27:09.Saturday. Still all to play for. Here is hoping. Thank you.

:27:10. > :27:14.Four Moroccans have appeared in court in Spain.

:27:15. > :27:17.They're suspected of being part of the Islamist cell which planned

:27:18. > :27:19.and carried out the Barcelona attacks last week.

:27:20. > :27:22.One of them admitted that a bigger attack was being planned.

:27:23. > :27:24.Police have arrested more than 30 people they think may cause

:27:25. > :27:28.trouble at this years' Notting Hill Carnival.

:27:29. > :27:31.The early morning raid was part of a crackdown against knife crime,

:27:32. > :27:38.I'll be back later during the Ten O'clock news, but for now

:27:39. > :27:41.from everyone on the team have a lovely evening.

:27:42. > :28:16.# Gonna make you wonder why you even try... #

:28:17. > :28:20.# Gonna make you wonder why you even try
