On BBC London News tonight: and on BBC One we now join the BBC's | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
The woman heading up an inquiry into Grenfell and building | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
regulations tells us it's inevitable she'll find systematic failings. | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
It's clear to most people that there must be some problem | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
We'll hear more in her first interview | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
How the mayor is offering ?1 million for us to plant | :00:26. | :00:35. | |
Plus what will the workplace of the future look like? | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
Could some of us lose our jobs to robots? | :00:39. | :00:47. | |
World-famous choreographer Wayne Sleep | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
Your husband's watching from the box, you haven't told him about it, | :00:50. | :01:00. | |
you are going to get a rollicking probably, but who cares? She just | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
went for gold. "It's inevitable that I'll find | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
failings in the system". That's what the chair | :01:10. | :01:19. | |
of an independent inquiry into building regulations prompted | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
by the Grenfell Tower fire Dame Judith Hackitt also said | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
she understands why residents in other tower blocks | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
are so worried. In her first interview | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
since being appointed she told us she would have an interim | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
report by Christmas. Here's our political | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
correspondent Karl Mercer. Before the 14th of June, few people | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
had even heard of Grenfell Tower. Ten weeks later, it stands testament | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
to a system that failed, to fire and building regulations | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
that didn't do their job and to inspection regimes that | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
didn't pick up the risk of fire. And in the weeks since, | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
tower blocks across the capital have At the Chalcots Estate in Camden, | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
hundreds had to leave their homes. At the Ledbury Estate | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
in Southwark, the gas was turned | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
off over safety fears. Today, the woman charged | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
with looking at what went wrong with I can understand is that people | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
living in those tower blocks right now are worried | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
and rightly so. And it's important that we get some | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
recommendations out quickly so that the right | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
rectifications can be made and things can be | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
progressed quickly. Her inquiry will focus on fire | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
and building regulations In the wake of Grenfell, | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
the government ordered tests on hundreds of pieces of cladding | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
from tower blocks. I think it would be obvious to most | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
people, having seen the data on the number of high-rise buildings | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
where the tests have proven the cladding to be inadequate, it's | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
clear to most people that there must be some problem | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
that is bigger than a one-off. Her findings will feed | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
into the wider public inquiry being led by former judge | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
Sir Martin Moore-Bick. It may have hard lessons | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
for many across the sector. I think it's inevitable that | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
we're went to find some I'm not prepared to | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
speculate at this stage. I think it's important that I look | :03:20. | :03:27. | |
at all of those things. The competence of the people, | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
how they work, whether people know what their | :03:31. | :03:31. | |
roles and responsibilities are, If this system is going to work | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
effectively, it's not just about what's written down, | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
it is about how it applies Dame Judith has promised an initial | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
report by the autumn, Could this be be London home of the | :03:43. | :04:02. | |
future? A place with mirrors that actually help organise your life. | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
Find out later. A judge says there were no | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
concerns about the welfare of a Christian girl said to have | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
been fostered by a Muslim family, when she was assessed | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
by an independent guardian. The girl, aged five, | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
was placed in the care Our reporter Adina Campbell | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
has been following the story and joins me now - | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
what's the latest? Well, as you say, we now know the | :04:25. | :04:35. | |
judge has made the decision and that is going to make sure the girl is | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
looked after by her maternal grandmother and this comes after | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
various national newspaper reports claiming the girl has been looked | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
after by Muslim foster carers and that that went against her Christian | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
heritage and that the girl was encouraged to speak Arabic. But | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
Tower Hamlets council has rejected all of those claims and says the | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
girl was looked after by an English-speaking family from a mixed | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
race or religion. Now, we have had the details of this care order. It | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
is the child was removed from her mother's care in March earlier this | :05:10. | :05:17. | |
year on an emergency basis. The mother has substance abuse issues | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
and we also know the maternal grandparents are also of a Muslim | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
background, but the mother says they offer Christian heritage so Tower | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
Hamlets council says that there have been inaccuracies in the newspaper | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
reporting of this case. The judge has today said that the grant will | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
be placed, as I say, in the care of her maternal grandmother and that is | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
in the best and safest interests of the child and that is not based on | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
any reports in the media. Thank you very much for the latest. | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
The menace of moped gangs is something we've reported on | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
It's thought most crimes they commit are spontaneous. | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
But now, one leading expert has warned that gangs are becoming more | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
organised and are using spotters to target and steal from Londoners. | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
Our home affairs correspondent Nick Beake reports. | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
It seems to be the crime of the summer, the sight | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
and sound of gangs on mopeds, stealing other bikes, | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
then robbing phones and wallets and, in some cases, even throwing acid. | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
Mopeds thieves stole more than 7000 mobiles in the past 12 months, | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
In some months, a suspect was charged | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
in only 1% of crimes involving mopeds. | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
Just last week, a BBC London team was filming an unrelated story | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
when a gang was spotted apparently stealing a bike. | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
They took it to a park where they got it started | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
This guy, like, come on, come on, come on, hurry up! | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
As they rushed out, they both kind of looked behind them | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
They went that way, they went that way. | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
and officers found it had indeed been stolen. | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
Dr Simon Harding has been studying moped gangs. | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
He says young criminals are now using | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
increased surveillance and are scouring London streets | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
Some of these boys are working with a pedestrian spotter. | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
This is somebody who will be on foot, | :07:19. | :07:19. | |
perhaps walking down a high street. | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
They will be identifying that people are using | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
They'll make a phone call to another member | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
of the gang and say, "Yeah, rich pickings along here, come now." | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
The mopeds involved has got no number plates, | :07:35. | :07:35. | |
which indicates to us that it is is stole the mopeds. | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
The net now has dedicated teams in mopeds crime hotspots, | :07:39. | :07:46. | |
but have come under fire for not pursuing suspects who | :07:47. | :07:48. | |
take off their helmets, although Scotland Yard deny | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
The police say bike manufacturers can do more to make their products | :07:51. | :08:00. | |
harder to steal and that Londoners can help themselves | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
But many criminals are getting away with it. | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
This woman in Streatham was dragged by her hair after two people | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
Three months on, no one's been arrested. | :08:10. | :08:19. | |
Noisy night-time work at Luton Airport | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
has been suspended after a wave of complaints from local residents, | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
with levels found to almost breach legal limits. | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
The overnight work on the airports new terminal will now be replaced | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
by daytime drilling which will stop everyday at 6pm. | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
It's expected to be completed by mid-September. | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
BBC broadcaster Jeremy Vine says he regrets the fact that a woman | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
was sent to prison for screaming abuse at him in road rage incident. | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
The Radio 2 presenter was riding his bike in Kensington | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
and used a helmet-camera to film the threats made | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
She was jailed for nine months because she was already serving | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
Vine says he would have been happy with an apology. | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
Is ?420,000 a year too much to pay someone running | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
That's what the chief executive of the Harris Federation is paid. | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
Either way, there are now calls for a cap to be imposed | :09:11. | :09:18. | |
as our political editor Tim Donovan reports. | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
He has overall responsibility for 30,000 pupils in 41 schools across | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
the capital, schools which in most cases have been transformed. | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
But does this man, Sir Daniel Moynihan, | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
How does it compare with your other school? | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
The founder of the Harris chain of schools, Lord Harris, | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
says he's an exceptional leader and administrator. | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
Doing different things on computers and buying differently, | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
he saved 5 million, 3 million and 4 million in the last | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
three years, so he saved ?12 million of public money by buying | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
I speak to him four or five times a day and he's one of the best | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
Groups of three or more schools working in federation | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
produce better results more quickly... | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
This was Sir Daniel interviewed a few years ago. | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
He was once the headteacher in a Harris School - | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
but unions say his page and can't be justified given it public money. | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
This is taxpayers' money which is being paid for children | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
and young people's education, and that's where it should go. | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
I think leading a chain of academies is a big job, but | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
I don't think that pay should be just up to the governing body. | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
I think there should be guidelines and | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
there should be a cap on chief executive and on leadership pay. | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
Lord Harris poised to this school, the Battersea Academy, as an example | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
of why his chief executive is worth his salary. | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
This year, it's just got the best results in the borough of Wandsworth | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
and 70% of its sixth formers are going to university. | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
Management could be done in a cheaper way. | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
And to make it cheaper, you have to reduce | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
Even when he has so much responsibility for so many people? | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
Yeah, because you have lots of people helping him also. | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
It sounds a lot, but I don't know what he does | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
for his money, so it probably wouldn't be fair for me to comment. | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
You wouldn't want to rush to judgment? | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
Four more schools are due to open shortly, | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
no cut in his workload imminent, nor in his salary. | :11:24. | :11:31. | |
Fancy sprucing up your street with some trees or plants? | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
The mayor's offering a million pounds of extra funding | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
for London's green spaces, which anyone can apply for. | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
Well, this map gives us a general picture. | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
But as our environment correspondent Tom Edwards has been finding out, | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
the scheme really needs the boroughs on board to make it work. | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
Kew Gardens enjoying the drizzle this morning. | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
London is one of the greenest cities on the planet | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
and there are now plans to make it greener. | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
Today, the mayor launched a ?1 million fund | :12:05. | :12:12. | |
for community groups to buy plants and trees. | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
He wants London to be a national Park city, though | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
pre-election promises of 2 million trees by 2020 aren't now a target. | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
We wanted to embark on a major tree-planting programme | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
and we're well on the way to do that. | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
So to be clear, that 2 million target, you're not abiding by that? | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
in relation to a major tree-planting programme. | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
I'm going to keep that promise to plant more trees in London. | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
We will increase the tree canopy in London. | :12:49. | :12:50. | |
I've published recently my environment strategy | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
and the ambition there is to have an increase of 10% | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
London's green spaces support 40,000 species. | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
It has 3.8 million gardens and 47% is made up | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
This is a community garden in Greenwich. | :13:10. | :13:19. | |
Here, they're having battles with the local council | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
who want to sell it to developers. | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
This initiative is hopefully a step in the right direction, | :13:27. | :13:28. | |
but I feel that the green spaces are under a lot of threat | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
with so many encroaching housing developments, | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
not always sympathetic to the surrounding area. | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
I feel that they're a vital resource | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
Under the current mayor, 87,000 trees have | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
Under Boris Johnson, 490,000 were planted in eight. | :13:46. | :13:53. | |
And planning applications are now being turned down | :13:54. | :13:55. | |
Would you acknowledge that the balance between housing | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
and green spaces is a difficult one in his is a challenge? | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
I don't think it's a choice between housing, | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
I've been here speaking to some of the scientist here | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
at Kew Gardens, speaking to those who run Kew Gardens. | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
Actually, it creates jobs, it protects jobs, | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
it also encourages us to think about the century we live in. | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
Nonetheless, with pressure on space, | :14:22. | :14:23. | |
serious challenges lie ahead to further green the capital. | :14:24. | :14:32. | |
World renowned choreographer Wayne Sleep talks to us about | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
Imagine hearing the voice of your loved one in 15 years after they | :14:40. | :14:52. | |
passed away. That's what happened to Sarah here after randomly pressing a | :14:53. | :14:53. | |
button on this bench. Before that though, | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
all this week, we're looking at London | :15:00. | :15:00. | |
in the future. Today, how we might | :15:01. | :15:02. | |
be working by 2050. It's thought that up to a third | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
of the jobs we do now will no longer exist | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
in just 20 years. are set to dramatically | :15:09. | :15:10. | |
change the workplace. But how realistic is this | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
prediction and will we benefit or will many of us be left behind | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
as technology marches forward? Brother and Sister Daniel and Rachel | :15:19. | :15:27. | |
are trying their hands as dentists. Children are imagining the world of | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
work here in Westfield but will these jobs even exist when they grow | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
up? And while dentists will probably still exist in 30 years' time, the | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
lower skilled jobs may not. I want to be a train driver. I want to | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
drive really fast cars. According to research, most at risk from machines | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
are transport, car repairs and jobs in hotels and food. Across the | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
world, two thirds of children entering primary School will end up | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
working in jobs that don't yet exist. So what types of job will | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
they be? How will they be created? And what impact will that have a | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
London's workforce? Jobs that paid ?30,000 or less today are eight | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
times more likely to be automated and jobs that pay ?100,000 or more, | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
so that looks like a risk of a hollowing out of the economy. What | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
it really means is that we have to have business in London working | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
together with Government and educators to make sure we are giving | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
Londoners, you love mirrors and people who need to Rhys Gill, the | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
skills they need in the future. Imagine when Mr and Mrs 2000 sit | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
down to breakfast with automatic air. Some of us have long been | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
promised that robots will change our lives, but how realistic is that | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
vision? This is a duck, who was having a off day. We like to have | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
this technology here so that we can show it to clients rather than talk | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
to them about it because some of these concepts... All know, she's | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
died. This is actually a virtual collaboration space. Other | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
technology like virtual reality is allowing people to connect, so could | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
this make the offer is redundant? Not quite, says the founder of this | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
shared work space. What we are doing is creating an environment in which | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
small teams can really flourish. We have found here at Second Home that | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
teams grow ten times faster than the national average, which is great | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
because that is more jobs and more growth. People in predicting exactly | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
how the future will look, but we know for this generation, it will be | :17:33. | :17:34. | |
very different. Well, that was a look | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
at the workplace of the future - Gareth Furby has already | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
leapt through time So talk us through | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
what's so different? Well, perhaps it's not so impressive | :17:43. | :17:55. | |
in this room, but look at this. Any batting, a mirror which may really | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
come straight out of a science fiction movie. It will not only give | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
you the day's schedule, but it will tell you how best to brush your | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
teeth and is now take a look at this. Karen on all lights. Magic? Or | :18:06. | :18:14. | |
just the future? Lets Doctor Simon, who is a futurist. Hello, Simon. You | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
are about to make the kitchen and make you a Coffey, Orange you? Yes, | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
right from the sofa. From this app, I hit the spot and the copy machine. | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
Making a copy for us. We will find that in a second if that works. Then | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
we have a game here which doesn't look that interesting, but | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
apparently it is. This is an augmented reality game. The cards | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
are markers and trigger holograms of animals so children can learn. And | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
that has as intelligent and away. Very much so. All the items are | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
connected to a artificial intelligence system which has | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
machining learning built in with that of the more we interact with | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
it, the more headlines about us. It will learn a lot about you when you | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
live here. Yes, and it will be better able to assist you, the more | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
it knows. Londoners like this, I have is that may end up knowing more | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
about abandoning all about themselves? Here is mazy from | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
campaign magazine. You think there maybe downsize this? The big tech | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
companies already know what you search for and your location | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
history. In a world where everything is connected in the home, they will | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
also know a lot about your personal habits. How much you sleep, how much | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
time you spend on the sofa, how much you drink, and the problem comes | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
when it comes to how much you have said they can do with this data. If | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
they are allowed to sell it on, they could sell it to an insurance | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
company and you might find that that extra beer made your premiums go up. | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
Lots to talk about here, but lots people want to know, does it work? | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
Hero Simon, Simon, has it may be coffee you asked for? Yes, here it | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
is, ready to drink. Apparently it will even make food. Here we have an | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
indoor allotment. Let's call it that. Back to you. | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
Thank you, Gareth. I feel positively primitive! | :20:05. | :20:06. | |
Imagine for a moment, you're taking a rest on a bench, | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
when out of nowhere you suddenly hear the voice of your grandmother | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
That's exactly what happened to a woman from Chelmesford. | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
On a rainy day in Chelmsford, you might walk straight past it. Sarah | :20:17. | :20:29. | |
did, many times. She had no idea that this ordinary looking seat | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
would mean so much to her. It's one of Essex's talking benches. They | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
play archive recordings about what the area was like in the last | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
century. There are 18 of them and one day, she chose to sit on this | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
one. I pushed the button on the first thing that came out was a guy | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
saying, this is Muriel Rhee cocking about her childhood, so of course, | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
my ears picked up immediately because I knew that was when my Nan | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
lived and it's quite an unusual name, so it was... And then | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
obviously, her track came on and it was absolutely lovely. It was so | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
lovely to hear. Were used to play skipping in the road because that | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
was a road that was quite Private. There wasn't much traffic or many | :21:16. | :21:22. | |
cars in those days. Muriel died 15 years ago and her family had no idea | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
that she had taken part in this project back in the 90s. The boys | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
had metal hooks on the grass had the wooden ones. They were wonderful | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
grandparents and assorted suddenly hear her voice and to hear her | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
voice, immediately, I was like, there is no doubt that is my Nan. | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
Every year, we had a carnival of our own. If she knew that all these | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
years later and this bench is here with her voice on it, I think she | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
might outwardly be a bit shy and coy about it, but inwardly, most | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
definitely she would be really proud. Muriel would have been 100 | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
next month, but her granddaughter says this discovery has been a gift | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
to the whole family. I feel it was really special, like I was meant to | :22:08. | :22:09. | |
sit here and listen to that. It was one of Diana's | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
best kept secrets - her love of dance and how she would, | :22:13. | :22:14. | |
away from the cameras, Her teacher was the world | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
famous ballet dancer 20 years after her death, | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
he's been remembering the Princess and the night she wowed the world | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
with her dancing. The Royal Academy of Dance | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
in Battersea Square, where it all started for one of | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
the most famous ballet stars It was back in his heyday | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
that he struck up a friendship with the then Princess of Wales, | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
a closeness he still feels I will find it very sad | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
to reminisce, but also I'll remember and the fun moments | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
that we had together and we had a great time, | :22:54. | :22:55. | |
you know. And she used to come round to | :22:56. | :22:57. | |
my flat, kick her heels off and walk around barefoot and just | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
completely zonk out, relax, and I felt that that was | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
so wonderful that she could feel Diana famously loved to dance | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
and wanted to perform to surprise your husband | :23:10. | :23:17. | |
at the Royal Opera house. It was Wayne she chose | :23:18. | :23:19. | |
to be her partner, despite their dramatic | :23:20. | :23:29. | |
height difference. Amazingly, what I didn't know, | :23:30. | :23:30. | |
she took to it like a duck to water. I mean, the performance | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
was as if she'd been performing I was worried that the nerves | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
would get to her on the night. 2600 people, complete blackout, | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
spotlight in your face Your husband's watching | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
from the box, you haven't told him about it, | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
you are going to get a rollicking probably, | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
but who cares? Next door to the Royal Academy | :23:52. | :23:53. | |
and a certain Prince George will be starting this school | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
in a few short weeks and guess what? with a Royal Academy | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
accredited teacher. His grandmother supported ballet | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
until the end of her life, including helping Wayne's | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
foundation for young artists. Wayne believes she would be | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
delighted George is to take lessons It's good discipline, it's good | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
for technique, it makes your mind Let's get a check on the | :24:20. | :24:27. | |
weather with Darren. What happened? | :24:28. | :24:47. | |
You make it sound... Like it was my fault. Well, what a difference a day | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
makes. Tomorrow might be better, but this was actually yesterday when we | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
had temperatures of 26 degrees in the centre of London. Move things on | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
24 hours and this was the picture today in Twickenham. In the centre | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
of town, we struggle to get 15 degrees at best, so a significant | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
change in the weather. That is because of the cloud and rain that | :25:10. | :25:17. | |
was quite slow moving. Not very heavy but it was a very poor day and | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
it felt pretty cold out there as well. We are beginning to see the | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
back of the strain and it will get a move on now and push its way out | :25:25. | :25:26. | |
before midnight. Clear skies following on from that and no wind | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
so it's going to be really quite chilly overnight. Temperatures could | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
be down as low as 5 degrees because temperatures didn't rise very much | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
at all today. It warmer day tomorrow because we start with Sun Xiang, | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
which will be nice, and sunny for a good part of the morning. By the | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
afternoon, the cloud will have bubbled up enough to give us some | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
showers. Hit and miss, but they could be heavy and potentially | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
thundery, but significantly higher temperatures than today. The | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
temperatures will drop once those showers arrived. The temperatures | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
fall away overnight and leave clear skies so I can quite cold especially | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
at what Hertfordshire, but again on Friday, starting bright and sunny. | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
Winds light again. Somehow bubbling up and perhaps a shower, more likely | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
to the north of London. The chance of catching a shower on Friday is | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
much less than catching a shower tomorrow. If we look further ahead | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
into the weekend, we have as high pressure building and across the UK, | :26:24. | :26:25. | |
hence those showers being fewer and further between. That's high | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
pressure will be around for a time, but weather fronts are in the | :26:29. | :26:30. | |
Atlantic and they will eventually arrive. If you have plans for | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
Friday, very few showers around. A good chance it will stay dry. | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
Saturday was defined a full sub 21 degrees is normal for this time of | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
year. Sunday will start sunny but at the crowd will increase. Probably | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
stay enjoyable but maybe some rain in the evening or maybe overnight. | :26:48. | :26:49. | |
President Trump has declared that talking is not the answer | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
when it comes to responding to North Korea's missile tests. | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
Yesterday, it fired a missile over Japan, calling it "the first step" | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
of fresh military operations in the Pacific. | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
Tropical Storm Harvey has again moved ashore, | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
this time over Louisiana, bringing heavy rain and threatening | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
More than 20 people have died and about 3000 homes | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
Prince William and Prince Harry have visited a memorial garden | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
for their mother at her old home at Kensington palace. | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
Tomorrow will mark the 20th anniversary of her death | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
I'll be back later though during the ten o'clock news. | :27:27. | :27:36. | |
