Could the capital's housing shortage benefit from pre-fab homes? | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
It's very fast, it's very accurate, it's got | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
great acoustic, great thermal properties. | :00:19. | :00:19. | |
The Mayor's being urged to do more to meet his own housing target. | :00:20. | :00:31. | |
Cricket fans evacuated from the Oval after a metal tipped arrow was fired | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
onto the pitch play. And a warning against keeping pocket sized | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
hedgehogs as pets, as some are found dumped across London. | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
And remembering Diana: the cafe named after | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
her where she frequently took her boys. | :00:48. | :00:48. | |
The owner speaks to us about their friendship. | :00:49. | :01:02. | |
Meeting the capital's housebuilding target is huge - | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
50,000 homes a year are needed to meet growing demand | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
and the London Assembly is looking to the pre-built market | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
Manufactured off-site, homes are delivered to vacant public | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
land and built quickly with less pollution and disruption | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
and, more importantly, are affordable. | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
Our Political Editor Tim Donovan has been finding out more. | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
He joins us from East London. It is such a common refrain. You gave that | :01:33. | :01:41. | |
50,000 figure which experts agree is the minimum that need to be built | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
each year. We are currently running at around 25,000, or less. Could | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
this be the solution? Hearing Dalston, it doesn't look unusual, | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
there are bricks on the outside but inside, the internal structure from | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
ceiling to staircase and so on, that is all being constructed elsewhere, | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
brought here then simply slotted together. Flowbog Butt by floor, | :02:04. | :02:12. | |
layer by layer, housing block taking shape in East London not built so | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
much as screwed together on site. This is one of the flats, the first | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
flats finished which is exciting to see. This is the architect. The | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
entire structure is made from prefabricated timber panels. | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
Internal walls, ceilings and floors are all made to measure in a factory | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
in Austria and transported over. It is twice as fast as building in | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
concrete. We are saving massive amounts from the overall programme | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
of construction. So it can mean more housing sooner but what about the | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
cost? The price equivalent, much more cost efficient. Much more cost | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
efficient than concrete and steel structures because you have got | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
fewer people on site, less waste, a more efficient way of building | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
buildings. Among the first to benefit, this woman and her two sons | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
who have just moved in after a long wait in a one-bedroom flat. The boys | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
had their own room and I had my Aaron Groom, I had the balcony on my | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
side, I am more than happy. The London assembly argues that the | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
Maher could be doing more to promote this form of housing. He needs to | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
dedicate land, particularly Transport for London land, he needs | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
to use resources and funding and uses policies and his planning and | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
his strategy to incentivise this sector. It would be a win for the | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
country because this is a real emerging sector, and industrial | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
sector for the UK. And our people prejudiced against prefabs? They are | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
worried about the quality of the buildings, the quality of their | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
homes it makes, but this is an incredibly robust and incredibly | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
firm architecture which I think is a fabulous result. City Hall says it | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
is making money available for innovative schemes to provide | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
off-site manufacture poems, but it has signalled there will be further | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
measures in the Maier's long-awaited housing strategy next month. And as | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
the architects involved in this insist that it is pioneering, one of | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
the biggest projects in the world that uses wood, 2500 trees go into | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
constructing this, and at the heart of this is an issue of | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
sustainability. It is also lighter. The model is lighter and bus, it is | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
easier to build stuff like this long constrained sites. This is over a | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
Eurostar tunnel and there's a train line behind us, so the thinking is, | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
if you could get the London Mayor and the government trying to boost | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
this sector, indicating that there are funds available and deregulating | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
the planning system, we could start to get a lot more of this built, and | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
built quickly. The women whose very | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
personal stories of sexual harassment are being recorded by one | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
photo-journalist Surrey's County Championship | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
match with Middlesex had to be abandoned | :05:17. | :05:32. | |
on the final day after a crossbow bolt landed | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
on the field of play. Emma Jones is outside | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
the Kia Oval for us now. What can you tell us? As you say, | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
this happened on the final day of play in the County Championship at | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
the Oval between Surrey and Middlesex just before 4:30pm, and | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
arrow was fired into the ground, very close to the players and | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
umpires who immediately left the field of play. Around 600-800 | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
spectators were here, security asked them to take cover. Since then the | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
match has been abandoned and the armed police have been here, | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
investigating exactly what has happened. At the moment they are | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
unclear as to the motive although they say they do not believe it was | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
terrorism related. They also say they believe the arrow was fired | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
into the ground and inquiries continue. We were hoping we might be | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
able to speak to the chief executive of Surrey cricket, Richard Gould, | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
obviously a very bizarre and concerning situation for you. | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
Certainly very bizarre. We don't know whether it was a deliberate act | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
or whether the cricket ground was the bolt -- the location where this | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
bold eventually ended, but when these issues happen you have to take | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
them seriously, which is why the umpires acted quickly and took the | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
players off the pitch, but the spectators in a position of safety | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
and the police arrived very quickly. This is an international brown, as | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
well as one that hosts County Championship matches. Will you be | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
reassessing security? We will, it seems as if there are new threats | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
coming our way every few weeks. It is something we will constantly be | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
assessing. A crossbow bolts such as this is difficult to guard against, | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
because it is the sort of thing that can be fired over fences and walls | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
and still do damage at the place that the glands, so this is a | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
particularly difficult threat to guard against. Richard Gould, the | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
chief executive of Surrey. Police inquiries continue. | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
A family say that their business has been destroyed | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
after a large fire at a furniture warehouse in Hertfordshire. | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
Firefighters had concerns that the building in Ware | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
might collapse, but emergency services say | :07:57. | :07:57. | |
Yvonne Hall sent this report from the scene. | :07:58. | :08:09. | |
8am this morning, hundreds of beds and sofas go up in flames at | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
The owner Dean Ambridge escaped from the building just in time. | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
The smoke was quite strong and I thought it would | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
As the fire progressed, because it was so | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
severe, the building started showing signs of collapse. | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
We had to withdraw the crews from inside the property | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
and start doing some external firefighting. | :08:38. | :08:38. | |
This is the back of the warehouse, and, as you can see, | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
part of the roof had collapsed, and five hours on after this blaze | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
started, firefighters are still working hard | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
to try and put out the | :08:48. | :08:48. | |
blaze which is still smouldering inside. | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
Firefighters are expected to be here all day making the building | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
safe and with roads nearby closed to traffic, disruption will continue | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
An investigation is now underway into | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
A doctor has appeared in court, charged with more | :09:01. | :09:12. | |
The 47 year-old from Romford is accused of sexually assaulting | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
more than fifty people at a medical practice in East London. | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
Here's our Home Affairs Correspondent Daniel Sandford. | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
This was the first time that the 47-year-old East London GP | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
has had to attend court and answer the 118 charges | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
Manish Shah has been charged with so many offences - | :09:28. | :09:35. | |
that it would have take too long to read them all in court. | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
So the Deputy District judge just heard a summary. | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
The doctor said he would plead not guilty to all the charges - | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
one of which involves a child under 13. | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
Throughout the time Dr Shah is accused of committing | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
the offences he was living here in a detached house | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
not far from the surgery where he worked. | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
The GP practice is in the London borough of Havering. | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
But for legal reasons the media have been asked not to name it. | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
The alleged offences all took place between June 2004 and July 2013 | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
Manish Shah was released on bail and told he would stand trial | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
on the 118 sexual offence charges at Snaresbrook Crown Court. | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
The General Medical Council suspended him from working | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
With the rise in acid attacks in the capital, | :10:25. | :10:36. | |
burns specialists, together with the NHS, are issuing | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
guidance to Londoners about what to do | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
to help a victim immediately after an attack, | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
Helen Drew's report does contain some upsetting details. | :10:43. | :10:53. | |
Scarred for life, this man and his cousin were victims of an acid | :10:54. | :11:03. | |
attack in Becton earlier this year. My day started nodding, my clothes | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
started to burn, my short started sticking to me, there was smoke | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
coming from the seats. Corrosive substances were used in over 450 | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
grams in the capital last year, a big increase on previous years. The | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
growing number of attacks means the NHS and burns specialists are giving | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
advice to victims and witnesses. Report it. Treat it as an emergency. | :11:24. | :11:31. | |
The witness can call 999 last the victim concentrate on their burn. | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
Remove contaminated clothes and rinse areas affected under running | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
water until specialist help arrived. Specialist burns unit like this one | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
Chelsea are busier than ever. Doctors say that the members | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
immediately after an attack are crucial. Providing appropriate first | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
aid can have a dramatic affect on the outcome of these injuries | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
because it can reduce the trauma of the acid but also reduce the | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
possibility of unwanted life changing injuries. Earlier this | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
month shopkeepers in Hackney started signing up to a voluntary scheme to | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
restrict the sale of products containing ammonia and acid, the | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
first of its kind. They refuse to sell to anyone under the age of 21. | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
Currently in the UK there is no age restriction on buying these items. | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
Home Secretary Amber Rudd has ordered a review to ensure that | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
everything possible is being done to prevent acid attacks. They are still | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
rare, but scenes like this, the aftermath of an attack in | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
Knightsbridge, are becoming more familiar. The advice today, report, | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
remove and rinse. women of different ages, | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
races and backgrounds. But they all have one thing | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
in common - they were the target | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
of unwanted attention or abuse. It's all part of a project on social | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
media by a London-based photographer taking a stand | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
against sexual harassment. First, here's a sense of the stories | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
she's been documenting - and just to say if there | :12:55. | :13:01. | |
are young ones in the room - This is a photojournalism project | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
documenting women and their accounts It has come about after | :13:05. | :13:17. | |
a conversation I had with all of my female friends | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
about how often we experienced we experienced sexual harassment, | :13:22. | :13:30. | |
on a daily basis, and I then have a conversation with | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
my male friends as well and they were just so shocked, | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
and in complete disbelief. One of the most shocking things | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
for me, one of the most disturbing things, is how many girls experience | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
things from such a young age. I was really angry and I felt really | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
disrespected and upset, knowing that it's not the worst | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
thing that happens As soon as I launched | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
the project on Instagram, there has just been almost | :13:55. | :14:02. | |
a constant flow of women And I talk to them, | :14:03. | :14:10. | |
and I shared their stories, and now they are parts | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
of the project. I want to change people's attitudes | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
towards sexual harassment. I want people to know that it's | :14:17. | :14:18. | |
unacceptable and I want people to be able to speak out about it more | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
and I want it to be Thank you for coming in. Your | :14:22. | :14:34. | |
project on Instagram has clearly struck a chord with many women. It | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
has been completely overwhelming. Since launching the project, but | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
there has been a constant flow of women wanting to come forward to | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
share stories. When I started the project, I didn't realise how many | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
woman experienced sexual harassment on such a huge scale. It really has | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
been a completely overwhelming process. | :14:58. | :14:59. | |
You've attracted women from all over the world. | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
It has been completely international, which has took me by | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
surprise. Mostly I only photographed women based in London because that | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
is where I am based at the moment. But women from all over the world | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
have got in contact wanting to be involved and to share their stories. | :15:18. | :15:19. | |
What difference do you hope it'll make? | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
I just really want to raise awareness about an issue that is | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
barely spoken about. And I wanted to show that, some of the range of | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
unacceptable things that so many women have to go through on a daily | :15:34. | :15:41. | |
basis. Is there a danger that these things are normal lives and society? | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
Completely, they are completely normalised. I grew up in London and | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
I have experienced so much sexual harassment from a young age, and I | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
just brush it off because I thought it was just a normal thing that | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
young girls experience, and only earlier this year I realise that | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
actually, no, that should not be a normal thing. We know from figures | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
from the British Transport Police that on the underground, people | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
reporting it, the numbers have gone up. Do you feel that this does show | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
the power of the Internet, to change things, a women's movement, if you | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
like? Completely. I feel like most women do not feel like they will be | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
taken seriously if they tell someone about it after they experience it, | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
and it is only through Instagram and through people e-mailing me that | :16:33. | :16:34. | |
women feel that they can come forward with these experiences. I'd | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
love to talk more about it, but for now, thank you very much. | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
Still to come this Thursday evening... | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
Why exotic miniature hex togs are being abandoned across the capital. | :16:49. | :16:57. | |
-- hedgehogs. And after a day of sunshine and showers the weather | :16:58. | :16:59. | |
should dry up over the next few days. I will have the details later | :17:00. | :17:01. | |
in the programme. All this week we're looking | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
at London in the future. Today, fast-forward to 2050 | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
and the food that we'll be eating. Currently, we import almost | :17:15. | :17:16. | |
half of all our food, but when it comes to fruit | :17:17. | :17:18. | |
and vegetables Experts say that's unsustainable | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
and we need to look closer to home Picked, packed and ready for | :17:21. | :17:34. | |
delivery, and barely one hour out of the ground. This might look like a | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
step back in time, but it is in fact very much part of the future. We | :17:40. | :17:47. | |
have got patchwork farmers who have delivered freshly picked salad | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
leaves from a small urban sites, we are going to pack it together, | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
divided up into smaller bags and sell that to customers tomorrow. | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
Growing communities in Hackney Road locally and sell locally to 1000 | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
homes every week. It is this kind of small-scale farming that experts say | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
will become more reliant on by more people in the future. One of the | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
things about growing locally is that there is less carbon footprint but | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
we also start to eat seasonally, and that makes a really big difference | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
in terms of cost because it is going to be so abundant, so anyone growing | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
courgettes at the moment, they cannot give them away. Everything is | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
automatic... We didn't always think like this. There was a time when it | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
was predicted that we would get our food from these hot meal vending | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
machines. These can take any cause and provide a wide choice of food | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
and give change. Surprisingly, they did not take off, but perhaps what | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
was not predicted was how much we now rely on imported food to | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
survive. Currently, we get 48% of what we eat from outside the UK and, | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
when it comes to prepare vegetables, that figure rises to almost 70%. -- | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
fruit and vegetables. There is also a real concern here that available | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
patches of land where these salads were drunk or disappear, putting | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
more pressure on the concept of growing locally for local | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
consumption. That is why these disused panels under London could | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
come in handy. Some are already being used to grow microbes in | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
Clapham and there are miles of them. We could also being eating crickets | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
and other insects in the future which are very high in protein. We | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
are still cavemen living in the modern era, and all of the | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
technology out there doesn't make us any different as human beings. | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
Whatever the future, when it comes to what we eat, technology can only | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
go so far and, for these urban farmers, the rest of the answer lies | :19:52. | :19:53. | |
at the bottom of the garden. As the nation remembers | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
Princess Diana 20 years after her death, flowers are being | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
laid and candles lit Among those with very personal | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
memories is the owner where Diana would sometimes pop in | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
for breakfast with her boys. She had wanted to be the Queen | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
of people's hearts, and, 20 years on, that's how many people | :20:13. | :20:19. | |
still see her. Her neighbour in Kensington, | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
he named his cafe after her - 20 years ago, it was, | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
I was asleep, and I wake up, and I heard about the news, | :20:29. | :20:45. | |
and disbelief happened, and I came to the shop about five | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
o'clock in the morning. Suddenly I saw the weight | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
of the people coming and putting the flowers, | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
putting the candles, It is not controlled about your head | :20:54. | :20:55. | |
and your brain. One minute you're thinking it is not | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
real, the next minute you're 20 years ago, people left flowers | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
here, as they did across London. She was the best of the bunch, | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
and she was a victim, As news of her death | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
started to sink in. I was working on that Sunday 20 | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
years ago and the newsroom And my editor told me | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
that Diana had died. And it took a few | :21:27. | :21:35. | |
moments to sink in. There was a reaction | :21:36. | :21:37. | |
of shock and disbelief. And when I came into London, | :21:38. | :21:39. | |
here in Kensington, I watched other people go | :21:40. | :21:41. | |
through that same reaction. Looking back, some find it hard | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
to understand why there had been such an outpouring of emotion | :21:45. | :21:46. | |
for someone She looked fantastic. | :21:47. | :21:48. | |
It was a great event. Ian met Diana many times as a royal | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
photographer and said she had a quality of relating to people not | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
known before in the Royal Family. When you are in the realms | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
of the Royal Family, a lot of the time, unless they ask | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
you a question, But, with Diana, you could just talk | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
to her as a normal person. She just was someone who was normal, | :22:03. | :22:16. | |
who wanted to listen to what you had to say, | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
because all the time, This is an international milestone | :22:22. | :22:23. | |
marked by people all over the world for one of the most famous | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
woman in a generation. An image still recognised, | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
and a legacy that her It seems to be the latest | :22:34. | :22:35. | |
must-have pocket-sized pet. But animal charities are concerned | :22:36. | :22:48. | |
that these exotic miniature hedgehogs are being dumped | :22:49. | :22:50. | |
in the capital because they require much more commitment | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
than people think. In a small thatched cottage in | :22:54. | :23:07. | |
Berkshire... Lives a lady and 70 hedgehogs. We have, certainly in | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
these crates, these are older ones that are covering. You can see that | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
they have labels on them, the ones that are ready to go. They have all | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
been rescued. This baby was attacked by a dog. His eyes have just opened. | :23:21. | :23:28. | |
And I am having to try and feed them through the day. He will be released | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
along with the others into the wild when they are better. There is a | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
different kind of hedgehog that rescue centres are seeing more of. | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
Here you go, come on, monster, how to come. The African pygmy hedgehog | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
has been bred as a pet and can be bought for about ?100, but some of | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
them are dumped by owners. Theo was found in a wheelie bin and the RSPCA | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
rescued one platform on Edgeware Road station and he has been | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
nicknamed Paddington and is living with carers. But the RSPCA says | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
people should not be keeping hedgehogs as pets. As cute as they | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
are, they need to be in a warm temperature at all times. They are | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
nocturnal. As you can see he is death -- he's desperately trying to | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
get back to sleep. They smell, they are incontinent to machines, they | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
like to wake up at night, not during the day, they are prettily, you | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
cannot cuddle them and some of them bite. So they are not exactly the | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
best pets, especially for children, because children will not see them | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
during the day. Gill hopes people stop breeding them because there are | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
enough to deal with here, sharing her home with 700 hedgehogs are | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
here, there is not much room left for even the smallest of these | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
creatures. Deceivingly high maintenance. | :25:01. | :25:02. | |
What can we expect? Not looking too bad, heading into the first day of | :25:03. | :25:16. | |
autumn, today was the final day of summer any meteorological calendar. | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
It was a day of sunshine and showers. We had blue skies and this | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
big show a cloud with the odd rumble of thunder. Still some showers | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
around over the next few hours. This is the radar picture and it shows | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
showers moving from West to East. Quite a good deal of sunshine also. | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
We still have the chance of passing shower over the next few hours but | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
many will stay dry through this evening and overnight. But the | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
spells, light winds, it is going to be quite fresh posting tomorrow | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
morning. Temperatures around 12 Celsius in the city and in more | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
rural spots, around six, seven Celsius. Starting on that fresh note | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
tomorrow, but it will be a day of sunshine, largely dry, particularly | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
through the morning, but by tomorrow afternoon we will tend to see more | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
cloud bubbling up and bringing with it showers. Most of those will be | :26:16. | :26:17. | |
out towards East London, towards Kent and Essex. Further west you're | :26:18. | :26:24. | |
more likely to stay dry and bright throughout the day. It will feel | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
quite pleasant at around 21 Celsius, and light winds and scattered | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
isolated showers tending to fade as we move to tomorrow evening. For the | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
first part of the "Matter is looking pretty decent. High-pressure arrives | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
with temperatures on the fresh side on Saturday. But with clear skies, | :26:42. | :26:49. | |
Saturday looks set to be a dry, sunny day, feeling pleasantly warm | :26:50. | :26:51. | |
in those light winds and temperatures pretty much where they | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
should be for this time of year, at around 21 Celsius. Patchy cloud | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
building through the course of Saturday afternoon. Saturday | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
probably the better day of the weekend, some wet and windy weather | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
arriving from the West, but not until late on Sunday so it is | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
looking pretty decent over the next few days. September already | :27:14. | :27:15. | |
tomorrow! Thank you very much. We'll be back later during the ten | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
o'clock news, but for now from everyone on the team, | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
have a lovely evening. I took something | :27:25. | :27:26. | |
that didn't belong to me. | :27:27. | :27:59. |
