might not feel quite so cold. Jane.

Ben thank you very much.

Tonight on BBC London News...

0:00:090:00:10

Could a string of terrifying

burglaries be the work

0:00:100:00:12

of a professional soldier?

0:00:120:00:14

He uses cable ties, covert

surveillance and extreme violence

0:00:140:00:15

against his victims.

0:00:150:00:19

He hit me three times on my face. It

was very, very painful. He said to

0:00:190:00:25

me, get on the floor. I actually

thought he was going to rape me.

0:00:250:00:32

In total, a million pounds

of jewellery and possessions

0:00:320:00:35

have been stolen from properties

across London and the Home Counties.

0:00:350:00:38

Also tonight...

0:00:380:00:39

The Labour Leader of

Haringey Council quits,

0:00:390:00:40

blaming 'bullying and sexism'

by hardcore supporters

0:00:400:00:43

of Jeremy Corbyn.

0:00:430:00:43

And shortening the school week -

a primary school's drastic

0:00:430:00:45

plan to close early on Fridays

in the face of budget cuts.

0:00:450:00:50

Just where does runway three go?

0:00:500:00:52

A new exhibition reveals the options

for Heathrow expansion.

0:00:520:00:55

And could this be the answer

for rerouting the M25?

0:00:550:00:59

And where art meets science.

0:00:590:01:01

We reveal a new world

of microscopic patterns -

0:01:010:01:05

impossible to see with

the naked eye.

0:01:050:01:14

Good evening and welcome

to the programme.

0:01:170:01:19

I'm Chris Rogers.

0:01:190:01:21

First tonight, a burglar

so sophisticated and violent police

0:01:210:01:23

believe he could be someone

with professional

0:01:230:01:25

military experience.

0:01:250:01:26

A series of burglaries

across London, Kent and Surrey have

0:01:260:01:28

been carried out using cable ties,

covert surveillance

0:01:280:01:32

and extreme violence -

police say it seems like the work

0:01:320:01:34

of a "highly professional soldier".

0:01:350:01:37

He's been dubbed

"the night watcher."

0:01:370:01:40

Tolu has met one of his

victims who lost hundreds

0:01:400:01:42

of thousands of pounds worth

of jewellery and possessions

0:01:420:01:51

Waiting for the perfect moment to

invade how is he has been planning

0:01:510:01:55

to steal from. The burglar who

police believe may have had military

0:01:550:01:59

training. He enters through locked

back doors and windows usually when

0:01:590:02:04

victims are inside their homes.

I

was at my computer and I had a very

0:02:040:02:08

loud voice behind me. I turned

around and saw a very, very large

0:02:080:02:13

man dressed all in black with a

balaclava on. He shouted very

0:02:130:02:18

loudly, I want the jewellery, take

me to the safe.

Susan Morris was

0:02:180:02:22

alone at a house in Surrey back in

October when she, and her home, came

0:02:220:02:27

under attack.

He hit me three times

on my face. It was very, very

0:02:270:02:36

painful and I couldn't believe the

blows kept coming. And so, I took

0:02:360:02:39

him to the jewellery, I gave him the

jewellery. It had already been very

0:02:390:02:43

frightening. He actually said to me,

get on the floor. I actually thought

0:02:430:02:49

he was going to rape me.

It was the

latest of seven violent burglaries

0:02:490:02:55

in Kent, Sussex, Surrey and Thames

Valley, or targeting affluent homes.

0:02:550:03:00

Police believe the same man is

responsible. These are some of more

0:03:000:03:05

than £1 million worth of jewellery

watches that have been taken over

0:03:050:03:08

three years.

We believe this person

is not an amateur burglar. We

0:03:080:03:12

believe it is someone who has

specialist skills, uses firearms and

0:03:120:03:16

cable ties to do this. And he has an

immense amount of planning and

0:03:160:03:22

prepping before he goes and commits

these offences.

There are trade

0:03:220:03:26

crafts we generally will only see by

individuals with specialist or

0:03:260:03:31

former military experience, which

include identifying patterns of life

0:03:310:03:34

of the owners of these properties,

looking at the arcs of the cameras

0:03:340:03:38

and their locations, to even matters

of entry. The police have asked for

0:03:380:03:47

more evidence saying we are unable

to share DNA taken from personnel

0:03:470:03:52

before they are deployed on military

operations as it is restricted under

0:03:520:03:56

data protection. Service personnel

are convicted of a crime or under

0:03:560:04:02

suspicion, DNA records are shared

with police.

0:04:020:04:04

Even when we let the dog out in the

evening, we turn on the alarm before

0:04:080:04:12

the dog comes back in. Wheelock

internal doors from the Hall and

0:04:120:04:19

into the kitchen.

It is not good.

With no more leads, police said his

0:04:190:04:24

important that anyone with

information comes forward before he

0:04:240:04:27

strikes again.

0:04:270:04:30

Lots more to come including...

0:04:300:04:35

Headteachers across London grapple

with the issue of school funding.

0:04:350:04:39

Here, they are proposing to move to

a four and a half day week. Parents

0:04:390:04:43

are not happy.

0:04:430:04:49

After almost a decade

in charge, the leader

0:04:490:04:51

of Haringey Council has quit today -

blaming "sexism" and "bullying"

0:04:510:04:54

by supporters of the Labour

leader Jeremy Corbyn.

0:04:540:04:56

Claire Kober said she was targeted

by activists belonging

0:04:560:04:58

to the Corbynite group Momentum.

0:04:580:05:00

She adds she was "disillusioned"

by their campaign against

0:05:000:05:03

a flagship housing scheme -

which was personally

0:05:030:05:05

opposed by Mr Corbyn.

0:05:050:05:07

Susana Mendonca has more.

0:05:070:05:15

Labour politics has become

increasingly bitter. Haringey's

0:05:150:05:19

leader for a decade took the

dramatic move today announcing she

0:05:190:05:23

would be quitting after Labour's

thing body told her to halt plans

0:05:230:05:27

for a Housing regeneration project.

I think the NEC's action was

0:05:270:05:33

unprecedented, unhelpful. I am

certainly of the view that those in

0:05:330:05:37

Labour local government feels

similarly to me, over 70 council

0:05:370:05:41

leaders at the weekend came out to

say this was an unfortunate and

0:05:410:05:47

unacceptable act.

Her departure

leaves housing plans for this estate

0:05:470:05:50

in Tottenham in doubt. Haringey

development vehicle was intended to

0:05:500:06:00

build more than 6000 new homes in

the borough through partnership with

0:06:000:06:02

a private company. But, it has faced

opposition from some groups,

0:06:020:06:05

including within the local Labour

Party. Some councillors who

0:06:050:06:09

supported the plan said they were

deselected in favour of candidates

0:06:090:06:15

backed Momentum. That means the

make-up of the cancer was more

0:06:150:06:20

likely to be left wing. The

likelihood is that Claire would have

0:06:200:06:24

been pushed out that point anyway

but she insists that is not why she

0:06:240:06:28

is coming back claims there has been

intimidation. -- why she is going

0:06:280:06:35

but claims.

The atmosphere across

London and across the country has

0:06:350:06:42

been deeply troubling. I am in no

doubt that the behaviour and actions

0:06:420:06:46

of certain individuals at certain

times meet the test of both sexism,

0:06:460:06:55

bullying and intimidate read

behaviour.

It breaks my heart. It

0:06:550:07:00

makes me feel quite emotional.

This

Council broke damage was telling me

0:07:000:07:05

about her experience. I cannot

believe it. She claims left-wing

0:07:050:07:10

councillors make complaints against

people like her in order to push her

0:07:100:07:14

out. The local party insists all

rules and processes where a bus

0:07:140:07:19

fleet followed and Haringey Momentum

member denied there had been any

0:07:190:07:25

intimidation. They said they were

sorry the leader was standing down

0:07:250:07:28

but it had wanted a fresh look at

housing plans.

We have concerns

0:07:280:07:33

about this programme of

redevelopment that may impact

0:07:330:07:38

negatively upon tenants in that

particular borough.

The leader's

0:07:380:07:41

part to will be seen as a victory

for those opposing those development

0:07:410:07:45

plans. The question for whoever

takes over will be how to solve the

0:07:450:07:49

crisis here.

0:07:490:07:52

Now to a school in Isleworth,

which says it's so cash

0:07:520:07:55

strapped it wants to reduce

the school by closing

0:07:550:07:57

lunchtime on a Friday.

0:07:570:07:59

St Mary's Catholic Primary

School, were consulting

0:07:590:08:01

parents on the proposal.

0:08:010:08:03

Many are concerned about the extra

child-care costs they'll face

0:08:030:08:06

and say the process

has been mismanaged.

0:08:060:08:08

But is there a bigger picture?

0:08:080:08:11

Here is our Education

Reporter Marc Ashdown.

0:08:110:08:16

In classrooms across

London, the school day

0:08:160:08:20

finishes around 3:30 p:m.

0:08:200:08:25

Here in Isleworth, the pupils

could soon be heading

0:08:250:08:27

home on a Friday almost

three hours early.

0:08:270:08:29

Due to pressures on the budget,

the governors at Saint Mary 's

0:08:290:08:36

School are proposing a move

to a four and a half day week,

0:08:360:08:39

which presents a headache

for parents like Marlon.

0:08:390:08:42

Kira is ten and Shani

will be eight in a week.

0:08:420:08:47

Today, they are both

at school, of course.

0:08:470:08:48

Come September, he has already been

told to stop thinking

0:08:480:08:51

about childcare options.

0:08:510:08:56

-- start thinking.

0:08:560:08:57

A lack of consideration

for working parents.

0:08:570:09:02

It is quite striking to myself

and a lot of other parents.

0:09:020:09:09

At the moment, that

is the main problem.

0:09:090:09:12

The cost

for some parents and the logistics

0:09:120:09:15

of, actually, who is going to pick

up the child if both parents work?

0:09:150:09:19

The school wrote to parents

explaining the savings it has made

0:09:190:09:21

over the past five years.

0:09:210:09:22

Vacant posts have not been filled,

and Italian language teacher

0:09:220:09:25

was replaced by a volunteer.

0:09:250:09:26

Some music lessons have been

cancelled and apparent fund was set

0:09:260:09:29

up for supplies like colouring

pencils and glue sticks.

0:09:290:09:31

The school did run a consultation

with one idea of a £400 voluntary

0:09:310:09:34

donation from each parent and also

considered cutting

0:09:340:09:36

classroom assistants.

0:09:360:09:37

It is obviously very upsetting

for us, as parents, because this

0:09:370:09:41

will affect our children's education

really and it's

0:09:410:09:44

going to be happening

all over the country up and down.

0:09:440:09:47

Many of us have a whole lot

of suggestions we would like to put

0:09:470:09:50

forward to try to help to supplement

the school funds.

0:09:500:09:52

We need to move forward now.

0:09:520:09:54

On behalf of the school,

Hounslow Council said a consultation

0:09:540:09:56

with staff is still under way and no

decision would be taken

0:09:560:09:59

without the backing of parents.

0:09:590:10:00

The issues with funding are being

felt at schools across London.

0:10:000:10:03

Head teachers far and wide

are grappling with just how

0:10:030:10:05

to make the figures add up.

0:10:050:10:07

Last year, a delegation of heads

descended on Downing Street

0:10:070:10:09

with a petition, in effect begging

for more money.

0:10:090:10:11

The Department for Education says it

trusts heads to structure the school

0:10:110:10:16

day to support pupils learning

and said it is investing an extra

0:10:160:10:19

£1.3 billion in schools.

0:10:190:10:21

They haven't taken into account

the fact that pensions have

0:10:210:10:24

increased, school inflation

is running much higher

0:10:240:10:26

than normal inflation.

0:10:260:10:29

All these pressures are coming

to bear on our school system

0:10:290:10:32

and that is why you see schools

making these decisions.

0:10:320:10:37

It is not clear if the shorter week

will now go ahead here.

0:10:370:10:40

Schools facing a similar squeeze

will be watching closely.

0:10:400:10:47

Well, let's pick up some of those

themes now with Marc.

0:10:470:10:49

And this may be a controversial

decision but does this highlight

0:10:490:10:52

the difficulties faced by some

schools across the capital?

0:10:520:10:58

Yes. If you walk into any head

teacher Bosman offers in any school

0:10:580:11:03

in London, chances are they will

tell you they do not have enough

0:11:030:11:07

money. There was positive language

from the Government today but they

0:11:070:11:11

are all getting creative. The idea

of changing of the school day all

0:11:110:11:15

the school week, it is not the first

time I have heard that. Until now

0:11:150:11:20

nobody has been desperate enough to

push the button. There is a red line

0:11:200:11:25

on class sizes. Unthinkable for a

primary school to have more than 30

0:11:250:11:34

pupils in a class. Is it time to

think about the unthinkable? Beyond

0:11:340:11:37

a core curriculum, do primary

schools need to offer music, drama,

0:11:370:11:41

cooking and art? Many would argue

yes but maybe schools have to

0:11:410:11:45

prioritise and despite the budget

cuts, many schools are going from

0:11:450:11:49

strength to strength and improving

standards. The role of parents is it

0:11:490:11:54

changing? Parents have always given

money to support them but there is a

0:11:540:11:58

big money if they start giving less

and become pillars propping up

0:11:580:12:04

schools and making sure they

survive.

0:12:040:12:07

The four ringleaders behind

the Hatton Garden jewellery

0:12:070:12:09

raid must pay back millions

of pounds each or face

0:12:090:12:11

more time in jail.

0:12:110:12:12

That's the ruling of a judge

at Woolwich Crown Court tonight.

0:12:120:12:16

Our reporter Dan Johnson is in

Hatton Garden and joins us now.

0:12:160:12:21

Dan, what are the exact details

of this confiscation hearing?

0:12:210:12:24

Tell is a bit more about what the

judge said?

It is three years now

0:12:240:12:31

since this raid here during the

Easter bank holiday back in 2015. An

0:12:310:12:36

audacious burglary, described as the

largest burglary in English legal

0:12:360:12:40

history. The gang were in here for

two night stealing gold, jewels and

0:12:400:12:46

cash, estimated to be worth £13.7

million for that today in court,

0:12:460:12:50

they heard how much they must pay

back. So the court heard that John

0:12:500:12:57

Collins, 77, has

0:12:570:13:08

assets in this country and abroad

must pay £7.7 million. Daniel Jones,

0:13:110:13:13

63, must pay 6.6 million. Harry

Perkins will pay 6.9 million and

0:13:130:13:16

Brian Reade, at 78, was told he must

pay back the 6p.

And if they don't

0:13:160:13:19

pay it back, what happens then?

They

were warned if they can't pay that

0:13:190:13:26

amount, more than £27 million

between them, they could spend extra

0:13:260:13:31

time in prison. They are all serving

six or seven years sentences but

0:13:310:13:33

they could spend as much as another

seven years in prison if they cannot

0:13:330:13:37

pay. Another man was ordered to pay

back money today, a plumber who

0:13:370:13:41

helped the gang by giving them a

yard to exchange money between

0:13:410:13:45

vehicles. Huge oil will pay back

£370 foot at there is also a final

0:13:450:13:51

member of the gang who has never

been traced.

Thank you.

0:13:510:13:57

Still to come...

0:13:570:13:58

With six new cycle routes planned

for the capital, what will it mean

0:13:580:14:01

for road users?

0:14:010:14:02

And scientists and artists

come together to create

0:14:020:14:04

a world of microscopic art.

0:14:040:14:12

We know there will be a third runway

at Heathrow, but where exactly?

0:14:120:14:17

As you can see, the existing two

runways are already hemmed in.

0:14:170:14:24

Well today, for the first time,

a new exhibition detailed

0:14:240:14:26

all the various options

of where another runway might go.

0:14:260:14:30

It includes moving part of the M25

into a tunnel and it's not the first

0:14:300:14:34

time an international airport has

grappled with the issue.

0:14:340:14:38

This is Charles de Gaulle Airport

and its very own taxi way

0:14:380:14:41

bridge for its new runway.

0:14:410:14:48

Take a look at that huge jumbo going

over a road.

0:14:480:14:52

Our transport correspondent,

Tom Edwards, reports.

0:14:520:14:53

76 million passengers a year use

Heathrow and the plan is to nearly

0:14:530:14:57

double that with a third runway,

but expansion will affect

0:14:570:14:59

surrounding communities.

0:14:590:15:02

Just how was outlined today

in the quieter surroundings

0:15:020:15:06

of the Hounslow Civic Centre.

0:15:060:15:09

It might not look like much,

but there's some important

0:15:090:15:12

detail in this event,

some emerging proposals

0:15:120:15:13

from the airport.

0:15:130:15:16

For example, the runway

could be much shorter -

0:15:160:15:18

3,200 meters long.

0:15:180:15:22

What do they do to the M25?

0:15:220:15:29

This idea is to put it in a tunnel

seven metres deep and put

0:15:290:15:32

the runway over the top.

0:15:330:15:34

This promotional video shows

what the airport could look like -

0:15:340:15:38

extra car parks, hotels,

green space - but homes will have

0:15:380:15:41

to go and residents fear more

noise and pollution,

0:15:410:15:45

and this is one of the most

divisive of issues.

0:15:450:15:49

They say they'll listen

to local communities,

0:15:490:15:51

do you believe that?

0:15:510:15:54

Um, they might.

0:15:540:15:57

It will be easier to fly in and out

of Heathrow, obviously,

0:15:570:15:59

and promote travel and tourism.

0:16:000:16:04

Now that it is happening, now

there's a chance for it to happen,

0:16:040:16:07

why should we object to it?

0:16:070:16:09

The people running it are absolutely

committed to what they're doing.

0:16:090:16:12

So it's not a consultation at all,

it's a propaganda and promotion

0:16:120:16:15

and public relations.

0:16:150:16:20

TfL warns a third runway built

here would mean congestion

0:16:200:16:24

on the road network,

while the airport says it

0:16:240:16:27

could mitigate that perhaps

with a congestion charge.

0:16:270:16:30

And Heathrow insists putting

a runway over a road

0:16:300:16:34

has been done before,

at Paris and in Frankfurt.

0:16:340:16:38

You can build the new road just off.

0:16:380:16:46

One of our options is to just build

it off, 150 metres to the left.

0:16:460:16:50

So you can do this,

you're not going to bring

0:16:500:16:52

the M25 to a standstill.

0:16:520:16:53

So these things are done,

there is a precedent for it.

0:16:530:16:56

We have world-class engineers

in the UK and we can definitely do

0:16:560:16:59

this with minimal disruption.

0:16:590:17:00

This is part of a long process.

0:17:000:17:02

The final decision will be made

in three years' time.

0:17:020:17:04

Tom Edwards, BBC London News.

0:17:040:17:05

If you live in south-east London

you'll know exactly where this is.

0:17:050:17:08

Described by many as an eyesore,

it's much loved by others.

0:17:080:17:12

The Elephant & Castle shopping

centre is now the subject

0:17:120:17:14

of a planning row over how

to regenerate the area.

0:17:140:17:18

Earlier in January,

new multi-million plans

0:17:180:17:20

were halted by the council.

0:17:200:17:22

That's a decision that

could be overturned tonight,

0:17:220:17:25

which is why demonstrators have

gathered outside the planning

0:17:250:17:27

meeting in Southwark.

0:17:270:17:29

From there Caroline Davies joins us.

0:17:290:17:38

Tell us mor It's a noisy street at

London Bridge. I'm standing outside

0:17:380:17:44

Southwark Council offices. Look at

the scene behind me. There are

0:17:440:17:49

banniers and flags. Plenty of noise

being made. There was dancing

0:17:490:17:52

earlier. You might even be able to

spot a few elephant masks in there.

0:17:520:17:57

Why? It's about the Elephant &

Castle new development. On the 17th

0:17:570:18:05

January the council voted to halt

the development. The plan was to

0:18:050:18:08

have a new shopping centre, there

was also going to be 1,000 new

0:18:080:18:11

homes. A third of which they said

would be affordable and a new home

0:18:110:18:16

for the London College of

Communication. On the 17th January

0:18:160:18:19

they decided to halt that decision.

Tonight's meeting is about what

0:18:190:18:24

happens next. The first choice is

they reject it entirely. Even if

0:18:240:18:29

that does happen. The developers

will be able to appeal. The second

0:18:290:18:32

choice is that they do approve the

plans. It might be that the council

0:18:320:18:35

feel the developers have come back

and offered something bigger and

0:18:350:18:38

better. If that does happen, the

Mayor would still have to approve

0:18:380:18:42

it. On the third option, which is

looking the most likely, is that

0:18:420:18:46

it's kicked into the long grass. At

the moment, it's looking like the

0:18:460:18:50

developers want that to happen. They

have said today that they would like

0:18:500:18:53

to have talks resolving in March

because they think that they can

0:18:530:18:58

find positive resolutions with those

stakeholders. Why are people out

0:18:580:19:03

this evening. I'm joined by two

campaigners. Why are you here?

We

0:19:030:19:10

are here to advocate for the traders

and the community of Elephant &

0:19:100:19:15

Castle to get a fair deal out of

this development.

Elephant & Castle

0:19:150:19:18

has been around since the 60 os, do

you not think it needs redeveloping

0:19:180:19:23

and improving

We welcome

development. The traders welcome

0:19:230:19:27

development, not just this

development as it is because it

0:19:270:19:29

doesn't benefit the local community.

They have now come back, the

0:19:290:19:32

developers have said they will have

more discussions. Do you want the

0:19:320:19:38

plan to be rejected entirely. What

is the best solution for you?

We

0:19:380:19:41

want for the traders to be able to

come back to the location where they

0:19:410:19:44

are now, in the new development, for

them to have the 10% affordable

0:19:440:19:49

retail space and be able to come

back to this development. We have

0:19:490:19:53

been engaging for four years for the

developer. We had no concessions

0:19:530:19:55

made at all when the planning

application was submitted. One year

0:19:550:20:00

opposing it and we are getting

concessions finally.

Thank you. The

0:20:000:20:04

developers say that they are in

discussions. If that third

0:20:040:20:07

resolution goes ahead, if there are

more discussions about it, we might

0:20:070:20:12

be hearing more about the Elephant &

Castle development in the future.

0:20:120:20:15

Thank you for that.

0:20:150:20:21

The capital is to get six new cycle

routes at a cost of £142 million.

0:20:210:20:24

The Mayor's office says

they will help improve air quality

0:20:240:20:27

and congestion and span nine

London boroughs.

0:20:270:20:29

But there is opposition,

with critics saying some routes

0:20:290:20:31

are not fully segregated

between cycles and cars

0:20:310:20:34

and there is a warning the plans

could lead to more traffic jams.

0:20:340:20:37

Charlotte Franks reports.

0:20:370:20:40

The Lee Bridge Road in East London,

a busy commuter route,

0:20:400:20:43

but a dangerous one too.

0:20:430:20:46

With parts of the road lacking

a cycle lane, it's proved to be

0:20:460:20:49

a deathtrap for some.

0:20:490:20:54

This is an incredibly

dangerous road for cycling.

0:20:540:20:56

Simon has been campaigning for safer

cycling provision along

0:20:560:20:58

this road for years.

0:20:580:21:00

If we turn the camera that way,

behind us, you'll start to see safe

0:21:000:21:06

cycle tracks and a lot

more cyclists.

0:21:060:21:10

But this side, where I'm

0:21:100:21:10

standing, which is Hackney,

they've done nothing yet.

0:21:100:21:12

So it's still as dangerous,

it's still as horrible as it always

0:21:120:21:15

has been and polluted,

congested and noisy.

0:21:150:21:17

So it's not just cyclists that

suffer from this, it's everyone.

0:21:170:21:20

But now the Mayor has

announced this route,

0:21:200:21:22

along with five others in London,

is to receive funding to make them

0:21:220:21:25

more cycle friendly.

0:21:250:21:27

At a cost of £142 million,

the new routes are part

0:21:270:21:30

of the Mayor's plan to get more

people using a bike by 2041.

0:21:300:21:33

What it won't be is blue paint.

0:21:330:21:38

We envisage this will be a majority

of protected cycle routes,

0:21:380:21:40

segregated cycle routes along a lot

of the routes.

0:21:400:21:42

Where appropriate we'll be looking

at quieter back routes and making

0:21:420:21:45

that call with the boroughs

and with the communities

0:21:450:21:47

along those roads.

0:21:470:21:49

Last year in London there

were more than 450,000 cycle

0:21:490:21:50

trips made each day.

0:21:500:21:58

That's a 4% increase

on the year before

0:21:580:21:59

and an 8% rise since 2014.

0:21:590:22:01

Despite more people

in London using two wheels,

0:22:010:22:03

the new route proposals are not

being welcomed by everyone.

0:22:030:22:05

The cycle lanes are taking

out so much road space,

0:22:050:22:08

there is only one lane of traffic.

0:22:080:22:13

What you're finding they are removed

a plane for the vehicles

0:22:130:22:16

and they are tightening the roads.

0:22:160:22:17

That makes more congest.

0:22:170:22:20

-- congestion. Sigh man among wants

to see -- Simon wants to see even

0:22:200:22:26

more.

Six we will take it as a good

start.

The routes are still in their

0:22:260:22:31

design phase but once decided a

public consultation will follow.

0:22:310:22:35

Until then though, cyclist also have

to continue to sharing the roads

0:22:350:22:39

with vehicles as safely as possible.

Charlotte Franks, BBC London News.

0:22:390:22:47

No needed to adjust your set!

0:22:470:22:53

Now, are you ready to enter a world

of beautiful microscopic patterns.

0:22:530:22:56

You couldn't see any of these

with the naked eye as they're

0:22:560:22:59

revealed through powerful

tools and technologies.

0:22:590:23:00

They've been the inspiration

for a collaboration between artists

0:23:000:23:03

and scientists at The Francis Crick

Institute.

0:23:030:23:04

Where Wendy Hurrell has been

to have a better look.

0:23:040:23:06

Trick patterns abound.

0:23:060:23:11

I'm listening to a poem

inspired by human DNA.

0:23:110:23:19

It's part of an exhibition

at The Francis Crick Institute,

0:23:190:23:21

which is a place full

of laboratories that are studying

0:23:210:23:23

how and why diseases

happen in the human body.

0:23:230:23:26

Some of the patterns the scientists

find are very beautiful,

0:23:260:23:28

almost like works of art themselves,

so I suppose it makes sense to take

0:23:280:23:31

that one step further.

0:23:310:23:33

And to explain more

is the curator, Bryony.

0:23:330:23:35

So we're looking at a skin

cell, I think, here?

0:23:350:23:38

We are, yeah.

0:23:380:23:39

As you come into the exhibition,

you're going to be encouraged

0:23:390:23:42

to think about the cells

inside your own body.

0:23:420:23:44

So we're looking at the patterns

at the surface of the skin and then

0:23:440:23:47

here we're looking at the cells

underneath the skin.

0:23:470:23:50

Some scientists did visit studios,

which was fascinating for them.

0:23:500:23:52

They got to see the process

as the artist developed

0:23:520:23:54

their concepts and the prototypes.

0:23:540:23:56

So it was a really lovely

exchange between the artists

0:23:560:23:59

and the scientists in this project.

0:23:590:24:02

Now by using art and creativity

in this way, at the very least,

0:24:020:24:05

it will help us to see things that

normally are too small.

0:24:050:24:08

Take this little fella here.

0:24:080:24:09

This is part of a worm that's

a just one millimetre long

0:24:090:24:12

and it's your life's work,

Nate, to study such

0:24:120:24:15

little things here.

0:24:150:24:16

Just tell me what we're looking at?

0:24:160:24:19

So what we're looking

at here are the earliest stages

0:24:190:24:21

in the development of this worm.

0:24:210:24:23

You took this one step further

here with a workshop for young

0:24:230:24:28

people that live and go

to school locally?

0:24:280:24:29

Yeah.

0:24:300:24:31

So my lab and I designed a workshop

for students to really

0:24:310:24:33

try to inspire them with these core

ideas and development,

0:24:330:24:36

like breaking uniformity

and acquiring identity.

0:24:360:24:37

It was really nice to see how

many of those core concepts

0:24:370:24:40

showed up in the video.

0:24:400:24:41

Then from worms to fruit flies.

0:24:410:24:43

One of our artists, Helen, is here.

0:24:430:24:45

Just tell me what this is?

0:24:450:24:47

This is a wax antomical

model of a fly brain.

0:24:470:24:51

I studied the metamorphosis,

the transformations of the fly

0:24:510:24:54

and the patterns of the visual

circuit over time.

0:24:540:24:59

So the patterns that the scientists

have found and that the artists have

0:24:590:25:02

responded to are ones that you'll

find in your own body as well.

0:25:020:25:05

It's a fascinating exhibition,

it opens on Thursday and it's free.

0:25:050:25:09

Now let's check on the weather

with Elizabeth Rizzini.

0:25:090:25:13

You havele brought spring into the

studio, is it here?

Not until the

0:25:130:25:17

1st March. We have daffodils which

are my favourite flower.

Very nice.

0:25:170:25:22

A nice sign of spring, isn't it?

That was sent in by our weather

0:25:220:25:26

watcher. Popping up from the ground

of course.

0:25:260:25:28

watcher. Popping up from the ground

of course. We had sunshine today and

0:25:290:25:33

clear skies by night. This is a

picture of the moon from Chelsea. It

0:25:330:25:39

will be a supermoon it will appear

bigger and brighter in the sky than

0:25:390:25:44

normal. Watch out for that tomorrow.

There will be clear spells. It will

0:25:440:25:49

stay chilly for much of the rest of

the week. There should be good

0:25:490:25:53

spells of sunshine around showers

around tomorrow, but mostly dry for

0:25:530:25:56

the rest of the week. Clear spells

by night for most of our nights, but

0:25:560:26:01

tonight it will be quite cloudy and

breezy. After that we will start to

0:26:010:26:05

see the frost develop once more.

This was today then. A range in

0:26:050:26:11

temperatures. Minus two and minus

three and they raised. It has turned

0:26:110:26:19

cloudy, it will be breezy over

night. We will see showers around at

0:26:190:26:23

times. It will not be as cold as it

was last night. We will wake up to a

0:26:230:26:26

very different feel to the morning

really, seven or eight degrees

0:26:260:26:30

Celsius. A breezy start to the day

and and awful lot of cloud around as

0:26:300:26:34

well. Watch out for showers during

your morning commute tomorrow. They

0:26:340:26:37

will be on and off through much of

the morning. Brighter spells will

0:26:370:26:40

develop. Spells of sunshine between

the showers, particularly as we head

0:26:400:26:44

into the afternoon and, again, we

are looking at temperatures up to

0:26:440:26:47

eight or nine degrees Celsius. The

showers becoming fewer throughout

0:26:470:26:54

the day. On Wednesday look out for

the supermoon. There will be clear

0:26:540:26:58

skies. We will get a north-westerly

wind. By day we will see good spells

0:26:580:27:05

of sunshine. It will feel chilly,

but mostly dry. Highs of eight

0:27:050:27:09

degrees. The weekend I'm afraid is

looking rather grim. Chris. Oh,

0:27:090:27:12

great. Thanks Elizabeth.

0:27:120:27:15

looking rather grim. Chris. Oh,

great. Thanks Elizabeth.

0:27:150:27:17

Now, the main headlines:

0:27:170:27:18

The man accused of carrying out

the Finsbury Park terror attack

0:27:180:27:22

denies driving into a crowd

of Muslim worshippers

0:27:220:27:24

outside a mosque.

0:27:240:27:34

That's it.

0:27:340:27:35

I'll be back later during

the Ten O'Clock News, but for now,

0:27:350:27:38

from everyone on the team,

have a lovely evening.

0:27:380:27:40

Goodbye.
