0:00:00 > 0:00:09That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me -
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Coming up on BBC London News... so it's goodbye from me -
0:00:12 > 0:00:15One of the capital's major hospital trusts is placed in special
0:00:15 > 0:00:21measures as another row breaks out over NHS funding in the capital.
0:00:21 > 0:00:27There's a real risk here that the NHS we know and love will slip away
0:00:27 > 0:00:32from us.His NHS Trust was the worst financially managed NHS Trust in the
0:00:32 > 0:00:39country, on the cusp of being put on special measures so this is a case
0:00:39 > 0:00:44of jumping before he got pushed.
0:00:44 > 0:00:49Also ahead tonight...
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Could we see a repeat of this tomorrow?
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Hundreds of schools are closed with freezing conditions
0:00:55 > 0:00:57expected overnight.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Plus: Seeing your GP evenings and Sundays -
0:00:59 > 0:01:01London becomes the first area to offer people extended
0:01:01 > 0:01:02hours for GP services.
0:01:02 > 0:01:08And...
0:01:08 > 0:01:13Your Majesty...Mr Churchill.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15As Gary Oldman takes on the role of Britain's most
0:01:15 > 0:01:16famous Prime Minister.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18We visit the tailors who dressed Churchill
0:01:18 > 0:01:20as well as the lead actors in the film.
0:01:20 > 0:01:25We were waiting to see Gary just to make sure everything was OK. Then a
0:01:25 > 0:01:33voice behind me said, "Hello, Mr Parker" and he had the prosthetics
0:01:33 > 0:01:40on. And of course it wasn't Gary at all, it was Churchill.
0:01:40 > 0:01:46Good evening, and welcome to the programme.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49First tonight, the government has stepped
0:01:49 > 0:01:51in to help manage one of London's biggest hospital trusts
0:01:51 > 0:01:53after serious concerns about its finances.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Today, it was announced that Kings College hospitals
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Trust was being put into "special measures".
0:01:57 > 0:02:00It came not long after the trust chairman, Lord Kerslake -
0:02:00 > 0:02:02former head of the civil service - resigned saying he wasn't
0:02:02 > 0:02:04prepared to make more cuts.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07It came not long after the trust chairman, Lord Kerslake -
0:02:07 > 0:02:12Our Political Editor, Tim Donovan, reports.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15This hospital trust has been struggling financially ever since
0:02:15 > 0:02:20the merger with the Princess Royal four years ago. This year it is said
0:02:20 > 0:02:26to overspend its target budget by £92 million, which is why the NHS
0:02:26 > 0:02:31regulator has just stepped in. Pre-empting that, getting his
0:02:31 > 0:02:34retaliation in first some would say was the trust chairman, who
0:02:34 > 0:02:41announced he was off.We have saved in each of the last two years, £80
0:02:41 > 0:02:44million, twice the national average. The challenges of rising demand,
0:02:44 > 0:02:50rising gusts and an expectation to bring that deficit down even faster
0:02:50 > 0:02:54I think have proved very difficult and this year has been particularly
0:02:54 > 0:02:59challenging.But if he says further cuts were unsustainable, the health
0:02:59 > 0:03:03service regulator doesn't agree. At the hospital today there was support
0:03:03 > 0:03:08for both views.Apparently he has reduced the deficit but not the
0:03:08 > 0:03:14target.Do you think he could have made more savings?Without affecting
0:03:14 > 0:03:20care, well, actually, I think he probably could by going for the
0:03:20 > 0:03:26bureaucrats.It needed more staff, more money spent on it, more beds
0:03:26 > 0:03:31because the pressure on a day-to-day basis is quite heavy.I think we
0:03:31 > 0:03:37should all dig into our pockets and provide more for the NHS.It is
0:03:37 > 0:03:42clear the regulator NHS improvement has been concern to some time about
0:03:42 > 0:03:46the trust's financial planning. Its former head recently warned they
0:03:46 > 0:03:52haven't hit a single number they have put to us in the two years I
0:03:52 > 0:03:57have been involved. Today the patience ran out, with the new chief
0:03:57 > 0:04:03executive saying the financial situation has deteriorated seriously
0:04:03 > 0:04:07over recent months and we have now placed the trust in special
0:04:07 > 0:04:13measures.NHS improvements found Lord Kerslake's trust was the worst
0:04:13 > 0:04:16performing in the country on financial grounds and that's why I
0:04:16 > 0:04:20think he effectively got pushed out. I know it was structured as a
0:04:20 > 0:04:25resignation but I think he jumped before he was pushed.Putting it in
0:04:25 > 0:04:30special measures is intended to achieve a swift turnaround of its
0:04:30 > 0:04:33financial fortunes but it's getting close to the most difficult time of
0:04:33 > 0:04:37the year. The potential challenge of bed crisis.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40And if you want to see how the NHS Trust in your area is
0:04:40 > 0:04:42performing, go to the BBC News website and search
0:04:42 > 0:04:43for "NHS Tracker".
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Then just type in your postcode.
0:04:47 > 0:04:55Plenty more ahead tonight, including...
0:04:55 > 0:05:00If you're thinking about travelling to Waterloo this evening, massive
0:05:00 > 0:05:03delays and cancellations are continuing and it is nothing to do
0:05:03 > 0:05:08with the weather!
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Hundreds of schools were closed across Hertfordshire and north
0:05:10 > 0:05:13London today as the parts of the capital struggled to deal
0:05:13 > 0:05:15with the wintry conditions.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Whilst many children were very happy building snowmen
0:05:18 > 0:05:22and sledging, parents have had to find alternative arrangements.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Something they may have to do all over again tomorrow
0:05:24 > 0:05:25if schools are closed again.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Here's Thomas Magill.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Making the most of an unexpected day off school in Hertfordshire.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37Got up late.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40I'm guessing you did as well.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43And then just come out here, just having fun in the snow.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44Enjoying it.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46It doesn't come around very often, so might as well
0:05:46 > 0:05:48make the most of it.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Yesterday's snow caused widespread disruption for many on the roads,
0:05:51 > 0:05:53on public transport, and at Heathrow, where today over
0:05:53 > 0:05:55200 flights have been cancelled as the airport struggled to get
0:05:55 > 0:06:04back to normal.
0:06:04 > 0:06:10And as the big thaw began, there was more disruption,
0:06:10 > 0:06:15as hundreds of schools in the northern home counties
0:06:15 > 0:06:17and North London took the decision yesterday not to open.
0:06:17 > 0:06:23as hundreds of schools in the northern home counties
0:06:23 > 0:06:25and North London took the decision yesterday not to open.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28I work, so it's been very difficult, because I've been trying to work
0:06:28 > 0:06:31from home while having two children who mostly have been bribed
0:06:31 > 0:06:32to stay still and quiet.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34It's a massive inconvenience, but luckily for us,
0:06:34 > 0:06:35it wasn't too bad.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37I was able to swap the days.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39And you guys have got a day off, haven't you?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41How does that make you feel?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Are you happy to be off with Daddy?
0:06:43 > 0:06:44Yes.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46North London and the Northern Home Counties have been worst affected
0:06:46 > 0:06:48by the poor weather this weekend.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50In Hertfordshire, around 300 schools haven't opened today.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51In Buckinghamshire, 261 decided to stay closed,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53and in Essex, around 65.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55In north London, over 100 schools have told students there they too
0:06:55 > 0:06:59could have the day off due to the bad weather.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Harpenden was just one of the towns that saw the heaviest
0:07:01 > 0:07:06snow over the weekend.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09And today, all of the town's schools are closed.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11It's a really tricky decision.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14We really appreciate that there's lots of our parents
0:07:14 > 0:07:16who are working parents, for whom, if their children
0:07:16 > 0:07:18are at home unexpectedly, it's hard to organise and make those
0:07:18 > 0:07:20necessary arrangements, but it's really important for us
0:07:20 > 0:07:23to make sure that everybody's safe, the access is clear, the site
0:07:23 > 0:07:27is safe for everybody to use.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Back in the park, and no one was complaining
0:07:29 > 0:07:33about the extra day off.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Based on how the weather was yesterday and the forecast
0:07:35 > 0:07:38overnight, I think it was a fairly sensible decision, because there's
0:07:38 > 0:07:43no way this morning I would want to get the car out.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44It's been good, actually.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45I've really enjoyed it.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48It's been an extra day, a bit of fun, the kids have
0:07:48 > 0:07:50loved it, and a good wind down, actually.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52But back to work tomorrow.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54That could be wishful thinking, as temperatures are expected
0:07:54 > 0:07:56to nosedive for a second night, causing widespread frost and more
0:07:56 > 0:08:00treacherous driving conditions.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05Thomas Magill, BBC London News.
0:08:05 > 0:08:15And you can of course keep across how the weather might
0:08:15 > 0:08:21affect where you live - by tuning in to your
0:08:21 > 0:08:23local radio station.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Meanwhile, there's been major disruption at Waterloo station
0:08:25 > 0:08:27for most of the day due to a track-side fire.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Network Rail says to expect short-notice delays
0:08:29 > 0:08:31and cancellations until the end of the day.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Let's the latest from Marc Ashdown,
0:08:32 > 0:08:33who's at Waterloo for us now.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42I have been doing these disruption stories for a long time and I have
0:08:42 > 0:08:47never seen anything like this. It has thinned out now, that's because
0:08:47 > 0:08:52they have closed Waterloo station so there are not only people here on
0:08:52 > 0:08:54the concourse and platforms but hundreds of people outside wondering
0:08:54 > 0:08:59if they can get home this evening. I can tell you what happened, there
0:08:59 > 0:09:05was a track-side fire this evening which we believe was caused by a 650
0:09:05 > 0:09:15volt cable which came into contact with three tracks. To compound that,
0:09:15 > 0:09:18train down outside Guildford today which blocked the line for a time,
0:09:18 > 0:09:22so three tracks have been out of action all day causing delays. All
0:09:22 > 0:09:25south Western trains have been subject to delays, cancellations and
0:09:25 > 0:09:30alterations all day long and it looks like it will continue into the
0:09:30 > 0:09:33evening.That's clearly people already in the station but what are
0:09:33 > 0:09:37you hearing in terms of advice for people travelling today and
0:09:37 > 0:09:43tomorrow?The usual really. Check before you travel if at all
0:09:43 > 0:09:48possible. Don't just come to Waterloo expecting to have a train.
0:09:48 > 0:09:55I have information on the services not running at the moment.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Trains between here and Dorking will be cancelled.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Trains to Hampton Court will also be cancelled.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Two Circular trains to and from Waterloo via Teddington
0:10:01 > 0:10:02and Strawberry Hill will be cancelled.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Three trains between here and Guildford will also
0:10:04 > 0:10:06call at New Malden and Raynes Park.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07All West of England services will start
0:10:07 > 0:10:13and terminate at Basingstoke.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17Network Rail says it's investigating what caused this fire and its
0:10:17 > 0:10:21engineers are working as hard as possible to get things moving. We
0:10:21 > 0:10:25are seeing a few trains limping out of here but expect the delays to
0:10:25 > 0:10:30continue into the evening. For the time being at least, Waterloo
0:10:30 > 0:10:33station is closed so check before come here.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Being able to see your GP in the evenings and at weekends
0:10:36 > 0:10:38should be easier, as thousands more appointments have been
0:10:38 > 0:10:40made available outside normal working hours.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42London's the first part of the country to offer all patients
0:10:42 > 0:10:44extended access to GP services, meaning you'll be able
0:10:44 > 0:10:47to see your doctor on a Sunday and even Bank Holidays.
0:10:47 > 0:10:57Victoria Hollins reports from a surgery in Stratford.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03There are 13,000 patients registered at the Liberty Road practice in east
0:11:03 > 0:11:08Stratford and demand is growing fast so they are now open at least 12
0:11:08 > 0:11:13hours every week day and Saturday and Sunday mornings.I'm a teacher
0:11:13 > 0:11:17so early morning and late evenings is a much better option, and knowing
0:11:17 > 0:11:22I can come first thing in the morning with the baby and after work
0:11:22 > 0:11:28is great for me.They give you an option to choose, you want morning,
0:11:28 > 0:11:34evening or later on which is really very good.It makes your life that
0:11:34 > 0:11:39little bit easier.Definitely. London becomes the first place in
0:11:39 > 0:11:46the country to offer extended hours to all registered patients. The
0:11:46 > 0:11:50extended hours won't be available at every GP practice, but within a
0:11:50 > 0:11:54group of practices so you might not get to see your own GP and you may
0:11:54 > 0:11:59have to travel further but this is all about GPs working in
0:11:59 > 0:12:03collaboration. Appointments are arranged through your own GP
0:12:03 > 0:12:09practice or the 111 service. Extra funding has been provided as part of
0:12:09 > 0:12:13a review. It's hoped it will help patients but also relieve pressure
0:12:13 > 0:12:21on other parts of the NHS including A&E.We are trying to think about
0:12:21 > 0:12:24how we create extra support for people to help them stay well
0:12:24 > 0:12:28through the winter, access GPs more effectively and make sure we release
0:12:28 > 0:12:32some of the pressure our A&E departments are feeling across
0:12:32 > 0:12:38London.There is more money for GPs if we can find them but we are short
0:12:38 > 0:12:44of GPs in England at the moment. Some stuffing these posts may be a
0:12:44 > 0:12:49concern, however so far the signs are looking good.Research had
0:12:49 > 0:12:53previously suggested weekend appointments are not popular and
0:12:53 > 0:12:56remain unfilled. In the Stratford practice though they are well used
0:12:56 > 0:13:04and the GPs are noticing benefits across the service.Our triage gets
0:13:04 > 0:13:09filled up so quickly and at that point you are struggling to tell a
0:13:09 > 0:13:14patient, OK we will have to book you for a few days' time. Now they can
0:13:14 > 0:13:18be seen the same day when they know it needs addressing.The real test
0:13:18 > 0:13:23for the system will be over the winter months. Demand continues to
0:13:23 > 0:13:24grow.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27The Foreign Secretary has said it's too early to be confident
0:13:27 > 0:13:30that his recent visit to Iran might secure the release of a mother
0:13:30 > 0:13:32from Hampstead, who's been held in prison there since last April.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was arrested after being accused
0:13:34 > 0:13:37of spying in the country - a claim she's always denied.
0:13:37 > 0:13:44Boris Johnson met with political leaders in Iran over the weekend.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46He said while his meetings were worthwhile, he did "not wish
0:13:46 > 0:13:48to raise false hopes".
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Almost six months on from the Grenfell fire,
0:13:50 > 0:13:53survivors have been told at a public inquiry that great importance
0:13:53 > 0:13:54will be placed on their stories.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Meanwhile, amid ongoing criticism over its handling of the disaster,
0:13:57 > 0:13:59the leader of Kensington and Chelsea Council told
0:13:59 > 0:14:01the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire that she was sorry some families
0:14:01 > 0:14:09will still be in temporary accommodation this Christmas.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12We have 250 who we've exchanged on, but remember buying your own house,
0:14:12 > 0:14:16all the things you have to do, and double it because we're
0:14:16 > 0:14:19doing it as a council.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22All those things take time, but we've been buying at a rate
0:14:22 > 0:14:25of roughly two a day.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27And you said - you told us in October that you hoped
0:14:27 > 0:14:31you would have bought 300 new homes by Christmas.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32We're almost there.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35We've excahnged on 250, so we've got 50 more
0:14:35 > 0:14:38to exchange before Christmas.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41But, in total, under offer, we've had 370, so we're
0:14:41 > 0:14:48moving in that direction.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Would you say sorry to those who are going to be
0:14:50 > 0:14:51in hotels over Christmas?
0:14:51 > 0:14:52Yeah, I am sorry.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55I'm sorry that they're in hotels, but I'm also sorry that...
0:14:55 > 0:14:58It's one of those things, isn't it?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01That they don't feel that they trust us enough they can move somewhere
0:15:01 > 0:15:03that they might feel more comfortable before they make
0:15:04 > 0:15:05the final decision.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Yes, of course I'm sorry.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10That's lack of trust, and that takes time to build up again.
0:15:10 > 0:15:20I don't think I have a magic answer to that.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25That was the leader of Kensington and Chelsea Council talking to the
0:15:25 > 0:15:31BBC. Still to come this Monday evening. The Sabor Road workshop
0:15:31 > 0:15:35that tailored Winston Churchill's famous suits, and still makes them
0:15:35 > 0:15:38today. And coming up, all the latest
0:15:38 > 0:15:42details on just how cold tonight is going to be, and whether tomorrow is
0:15:42 > 0:15:47going to be an improvement on today.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49From next year, organisations who accidentally leak personal
0:15:49 > 0:15:52details could be fined tens of millions of pounds because of
0:15:52 > 0:15:54changes to data protection rules.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Islington Council was one of the worst offenders under
0:15:57 > 0:16:00the old regime after mistakenly publishing thousands
0:16:00 > 0:16:02of confidential files.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05So is the local authority ready for the new rules?
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Sarah Harris has been finding out.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Across the internet, millions of people's details,
0:16:11 > 0:16:15bank account numbers and personal histories.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Carol Crawley knows first-hand the real-life devastation that can
0:16:18 > 0:16:21be caused when those details are leaked.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25She lives on the Andover estate, Finsbury Park, where sensitive
0:16:25 > 0:16:29details of dozens of residents were published online.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Six of her neighbours had to be rehoused for their own safety.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38She no longer trusts giving personal information online.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41No, not after it has happened twice, if they can do it twice,
0:16:41 > 0:16:43they can do it quite a few more times!
0:16:43 > 0:16:45If you think about it.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Are you now careful what you disclose?
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Yes, definitely, I think everybody should be.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Parking fine private details were also published.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Islington Council said in a statement:
0:17:07 > 0:17:11But some campaigners say they have not gone far enough.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15We have seen people's personal dates of birth, sexual orientation,
0:17:15 > 0:17:18and housing situation released to the public.
0:17:18 > 0:17:23We have seen the names and addresses of witness statements, released
0:17:23 > 0:17:25to the perpetrators of anti-social behaviour.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30Time and time again, we have seen
0:17:30 > 0:17:32incompetence from this council regarding data protection.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Legal experts say it's time for all organisations in London
0:17:35 > 0:17:39to invest in secure systems ahead of law changes in the New Year,
0:17:39 > 0:17:44where high security costs will be small, compared to fines.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48The current maximum fine is £500,000, that will go
0:17:48 > 0:17:52up to between 2% to 4%
0:17:52 > 0:17:54of an organisation's turnover, or, ten to 20 million euros,
0:17:54 > 0:17:56whichever is higher.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00That's a huge increase in fines for an organisation.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03For those trusting organisations with their personal information,
0:18:03 > 0:18:06tighter rules and fines have to be welcomed.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09But for those already facing budget cuts, it's a cost
0:18:09 > 0:18:12they can be doing without, and data security is not
0:18:12 > 0:18:22an exact science.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32The weather has also impacted on a number of sports fixtures over the
0:18:32 > 0:18:38weekend, with one being replayed right now. We are talking about
0:18:38 > 0:18:43Saracens.Yes, we are. A very important match in the European
0:18:43 > 0:18:49Champions Cup, a pool game that was going to be a repeat of last year's
0:18:49 > 0:18:56final, it was actually called off, between Saracens and Claremont or
0:18:56 > 0:19:02van. There is actually an artificial pitch in Barnet, but it was all of
0:19:02 > 0:19:07the snow around the ground that was causing the problems. They did
0:19:07 > 0:19:12decide they would be playing it right now. It kicked off at 5:30pm,
0:19:12 > 0:19:24and at half-time, Clermont Auvergne were ahead. A penalty try for
0:19:24 > 0:19:30Saracens, and you can keep across that match right now. We should also
0:19:30 > 0:19:35add that regardless of what happens in that match, the French club
0:19:35 > 0:19:40Clermont Auvergne was very upset with how it was rearranged, and they
0:19:40 > 0:19:45accuse the tournament organisers of incompetence.Luckily for football
0:19:45 > 0:19:49fans, the weather would never have affected the Champions League draw,
0:19:49 > 0:19:55would it?No, it was inside, but still plenty of drama. Two London
0:19:55 > 0:20:00clubs in the mix. There were actually five English clubs in that
0:20:00 > 0:20:06last 16 draw, a record for any country at this stage. Let's see how
0:20:06 > 0:20:10Tottenham and Chelsea got on. Tottenham will be taking on Juventus
0:20:10 > 0:20:15with the first leg away in Italy, which is a tough draw because
0:20:15 > 0:20:22Juventus were the Champions League runners-up next season. -- last
0:20:22 > 0:20:28season. Chelsea and Barcelona have a very rich rivalry in the
0:20:28 > 0:20:32competition, last meeting in 2012, when the blues went on to lift the
0:20:32 > 0:20:40trophy.A lot to fit in there. Thanks for the update!
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Whilst Winston Churchill is best remembered for leading
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Britain through the Second World War and his rousing speeches -
0:20:45 > 0:20:47he was also known for his cigars and sartorial style.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Well, his tailors on Saville Row still make the suit
0:20:50 > 0:20:51they call "The Churchill".
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Wendy Hurrell went to find out more ahead of a new film about Britain's
0:20:54 > 0:20:57most famous Prime Minister.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00When one has a country to run, one must be suitably attired...
0:21:00 > 0:21:08in a suit made by the best.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11For more than 200 years, Henry Poole and Co have
0:21:11 > 0:21:16been crafting clothes for the most esteemed gentleman.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19NEWSREEL:While Mrs Smith relaxed at the pictures and her husband
0:21:19 > 0:21:21at the football match, Winston Churchill went to the zoo.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Including for Winston Churchill.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27He came to us in 1906.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32NEWSREEL:While Mrs Smith relaxed at the pictures and her husband
0:21:32 > 0:21:34He came to us in 1906.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37A rather young man, a 19-year-old, and with a rather slim build
0:21:37 > 0:21:38with a little large head.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41So much so - yes - so much so that we actually
0:21:41 > 0:21:42made his shoulders bigger.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46A prolific customer, pages and pages on him.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48"The Churchill" is a suit they still make today
0:21:48 > 0:21:51from their workroom beneath the shop at 15, Savile Row.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Your Majesty...
0:21:53 > 0:21:54Mr Churchill.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57So when you're making a film about our former Prime Minister,
0:21:57 > 0:22:00naturally you'd send your leading actors to be fitted here.
0:22:00 > 0:22:08Gary Oldman plays Churchill in The Darkest Hour.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11We were waiting to see Gary, just to make sure everything was OK
0:22:11 > 0:22:14and all of a sudden a voice behind me said, "Hello, Mr Parker."
0:22:14 > 0:22:17I turned around and he had the prosthetics on, and of course it
0:22:17 > 0:22:20wasn't Gary Oldman at all, it was Churchill,
0:22:20 > 0:22:24which was an exciting moment!
0:22:24 > 0:22:28The thread stitching the real Churchill in the early 1900s
0:22:28 > 0:22:31to Oldman's portrayal of him now, is this taylor, considered
0:22:31 > 0:22:38the founder of Savile Row.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Well, Gary Oldman's performance as Churchill has already
0:22:40 > 0:22:43been nominated for a Golden Globe award, and there's Oscar talk too.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46And, a little earlier, Wendy caught up with him at the premiere
0:22:46 > 0:22:52in Leicester Square.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56I've spent the morning making a little film about the tailor who
0:22:56 > 0:23:01made your suit for the film. I just wonder how it felt to step into a
0:23:01 > 0:23:06suit that was made by the same tailors on Savile Row that used to
0:23:06 > 0:23:12make Winston Churchill's suits.This is the great thing about the costume
0:23:12 > 0:23:20designer, Jackie Duran. She goes above and beyond, and goes to the
0:23:20 > 0:23:27original source, so you get the same cloth, the same material. I've just
0:23:27 > 0:23:32seen him, actually and said hello. Philip Parker just walked past. You
0:23:32 > 0:23:37gave him a bit of a shock when you turned up one day in full make-up
0:23:37 > 0:23:43and prosthetics to say hello.The trouble is that sometimes you get to
0:23:43 > 0:23:49keep the clothes after you've finished, but none of them fit me,
0:23:49 > 0:23:53so they are made for a much bigger man, unfortunately.Are you allowed
0:23:53 > 0:23:59to keep the fat suit as well? Exactly, I'd have to wear that as
0:23:59 > 0:24:04well. No more fat suits.You were quite reticent to play the role. Why
0:24:04 > 0:24:16was that?I just think he's an iconic figure, sort of mythologised,
0:24:16 > 0:24:21and you wonder whether you could reach beyond that, get beyond that
0:24:21 > 0:24:26and find the man. And the fact that you're stepping, not only into
0:24:26 > 0:24:35Churchill's shoes, but Robert Hardy, Albert Finney, John Lithgow, Michael
0:24:35 > 0:24:41Gambon, all the people that have played him before.You've obviously
0:24:41 > 0:24:45done a good job. Congratulations on your Golden Globe nomination.Thank
0:24:45 > 0:24:50you. First one.Enjoy your evening!
0:24:50 > 0:24:53After a white weekend for many, let's see what this week's weather
0:24:53 > 0:24:54has got in store.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Philip Avery is here.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02You always deliver!
0:25:05 > 0:25:11A little bit snowy. Some of our weather watchers have been out and
0:25:11 > 0:25:16about. Not everybody has seen this, but as the day has gone on, we've
0:25:16 > 0:25:22gone towards something a bit more water three than wintry. A bit of
0:25:22 > 0:25:28flash in the far south-east due to a weather system that brought a bit of
0:25:28 > 0:25:33sleet and snow. The winds will ease across the south eastern quarter
0:25:33 > 0:25:39overnight. Out west, this is the real story. Forget all the rest if
0:25:39 > 0:25:45you have to. -11 or so. It could be that cold, the coldest night of the
0:25:45 > 0:25:52so far. To come, I suspect, a very cold start. But, by complete
0:25:52 > 0:25:58contrast for many of you, it will be a sunny day, which tends to lift the
0:25:58 > 0:26:04spirits. A really chilly start if you are standing at the platforms or
0:26:04 > 0:26:08standing at the bus stop. You will need a lot of layers, despite the
0:26:08 > 0:26:13presence of quite a bit of sunshine. For the most part, quite a dry day,
0:26:13 > 0:26:19with the best of the sunshine doing nothing at all for the temperatures.
0:26:19 > 0:26:30Things cloud over
0:26:35 > 0:26:37tomorrow night. Tomorrow night will not be nearly as cold. A weather
0:26:37 > 0:26:39front from the west bringing in some cloud and rain. Relatively speaking,
0:26:39 > 0:26:42the wind coming from the west is a milder direction. Thereafter, a lot
0:26:42 > 0:26:47of isobars, so wind quite a factor, but it's not until we get to the
0:26:47 > 0:26:53latter part of the week that the isobars begin to crank back towards
0:26:53 > 0:26:58the north. Having had mild air at midweek, it gets colder towards the
0:26:58 > 0:27:03end of the week. Thank you.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04The main headlines:
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Snow and ice have led to major disruption
0:27:06 > 0:27:08across the country.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09Over 1,000 schools were closed, flights were cancelled,
0:27:10 > 0:27:11and rail services disrupted.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Temperatures could drop to -16 tonight.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15New York police have said that an explosion
0:27:15 > 0:27:18in Manhattan during rush hour was an attempted terror attack.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21The suspect and three others were wounded when the device went
0:27:21 > 0:27:24off in an underpass.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26A fire near to the tracks is causing major disruption
0:27:26 > 0:27:27at Waterloo station.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Delays and cancellations are expected to continue
0:27:29 > 0:27:33until at least the end of the day.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34That is it for now.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38I'll be back with the latest for you during the Ten o'Clock News -
0:27:38 > 0:27:40and you can keep up-to-date on our website and Twitter feed.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45From all of us on the team - have a lovely evening.
