0:00:00 > 0:00:00That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me -
0:00:02 > 0:00:04Coming up on the programme this Friday night:
0:00:04 > 0:00:07There's a surge in young Londoners buying tranquilisers and drugs
0:00:07 > 0:00:17online to deal with anxiety, stress and panic disorders.
0:00:18 > 0:00:24She went from being a normally behave to teenager to just being a
0:00:24 > 0:00:26completely different person. I didn't recognise the person I was
0:00:26 > 0:00:28living with.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30So an NHS clinic has now opened in west London
0:00:31 > 0:00:31to help those addicted.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Also tonight...
0:00:32 > 0:00:34The men who carried out the London Bridge terror
0:00:34 > 0:00:37attack claiming eight lives are all found to have had
0:00:37 > 0:00:38steroids in their systems.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40The one on the left is no longer legal tender
0:00:40 > 0:00:43but Londoners are still being forced to use the old one pound coin
0:00:43 > 0:00:46in an area of west London if they want to park.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49And how London's last herd of shire horses are ploughing
0:00:49 > 0:00:54the way for preserving a rare type of wheat in Lambeth.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Good evening.
0:01:05 > 0:01:10I'm Asad Ahmad.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14There has been a surge in the number of young people buying
0:01:14 > 0:01:17tranquillisers and other drugs online to deal with anxiety and
0:01:17 > 0:01:24stress. So many that it has led to the NHS opening its first dedicated
0:01:24 > 0:01:29clinic in west London to deal with the problem. Just this week, we
0:01:29 > 0:01:33reported how six schoolgirls from south London were taken to hospital
0:01:33 > 0:01:37after apparently taking prescription drugs. But other drugs, including
0:01:37 > 0:01:42one known as Xanax, which are not readily available in the UK, are
0:01:42 > 0:01:47being bought on the web. Caroline Davies has spoken to a mother who
0:01:47 > 0:01:51witnessed a radical change in her teenage daughter after she ordered
0:01:51 > 0:01:56Xanax online.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59She was really intelligent, good grades, never got into trouble,
0:01:59 > 0:02:04ever. She went from a normally behave to teenager to being a
0:02:04 > 0:02:06completely different person. I didn't recognise the person I was
0:02:06 > 0:02:13living with.This woman found out last year that her daughter was
0:02:13 > 0:02:17taking Xanax, a medicine prescribed by anxiety. Like a worrying number
0:02:17 > 0:02:20of teenagers and young people, her daughter took it without a
0:02:20 > 0:02:26prescription. She was 14.It was like she was really drunk. When the
0:02:26 > 0:02:31effects were wearing off, she would get angry, aggressive, violent. She
0:02:31 > 0:02:36said it was good fun. And then she said she was doing it because it
0:02:36 > 0:02:42made her feel better.Highly addictive, Xanax is also known by
0:02:42 > 0:02:45another name, and is a tranquilliser, up to 20 times
0:02:45 > 0:02:50stronger than Valium. In America it is well-known and sang about in rap
0:02:50 > 0:02:57songs. But its dangers are also well documented. It is illegal in the UK
0:02:57 > 0:03:01unless you have a prescription, but there are worries more Londoners are
0:03:01 > 0:03:06buying it and other prescription medicine online, which is why the
0:03:06 > 0:03:09NHS have funded a clinic in Earls Court to tackle the problem.They
0:03:09 > 0:03:14are prescription medicines for a reason, because they do have arms if
0:03:14 > 0:03:18they are taken inappropriately. Secondly, when people buy medicine
0:03:18 > 0:03:22online, they assume they are getting pharmaceutically pure medication but
0:03:22 > 0:03:27there are lots of websites selling counterfeit medicines.One London MP
0:03:27 > 0:03:30is campaigning to raise awareness about the drug and why young people
0:03:30 > 0:03:37take it.Xanax, young people are taking it to cope with the stress
0:03:37 > 0:03:44and pressure of life.The government told us law enforcement agencies
0:03:44 > 0:03:48continue to work to shut down UK-based websites found to be
0:03:48 > 0:03:51selling the drugs illegally, and that they are taking strong action
0:03:51 > 0:03:58to prevent the harm caused by drugs. This woman's daughter was eventually
0:03:58 > 0:04:03excluded from school and has now stopped taking Xanax.The drug
0:04:03 > 0:04:07completely changes your personality. Because she is not doing it now,
0:04:07 > 0:04:11things are better, looking brighter. If you asked her what she would do
0:04:11 > 0:04:20now she would say, no, don't do it, don't take it, it ruins your life.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21That's our top story this Friday evening,
0:04:21 > 0:04:31but lots more still to come on the programme, including this.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37It was home to Britain's best-known programmes and is now Television
0:04:37 > 0:04:43Centre is set to become home to over 1000 residents.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46The men who carried out last year's terror attack on London Bridge
0:04:46 > 0:04:48which claimed eight lives were all found to have steroids
0:04:48 > 0:04:50in their system when they died.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Khuram Butt, Rachid Redouane and Youssef Zaghba, all from London,
0:04:53 > 0:04:56drove into pedestrians and stabbed others in June.
0:04:56 > 0:05:06Tom Symonds is here now.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Tell us about this.The police have been carrying out a major
0:05:10 > 0:05:13investigation even though the attackers were all shot dead within
0:05:13 > 0:05:18nine minutes of the police arriving. The investigation continues, and
0:05:18 > 0:05:22they have gathered witness evidence, CCTV evidence, reconstructing the
0:05:22 > 0:05:27way the van was driven into a crowd on London Bridge. Firearms analysis.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31And finally toxicology results from the bodies of those three attackers.
0:05:31 > 0:05:39We heard today at the inquest that a substance which is a steroid hormone
0:05:39 > 0:05:44was found in their systems. The coroner will be looking more closely
0:05:44 > 0:05:50at that and probably getting some expert reports as well. He also said
0:05:50 > 0:05:54that he will be looking at what the intelligence services knew about
0:05:54 > 0:05:57these three men, in particular Khuram Butt, who had been under
0:05:57 > 0:06:03investigation since 2015, for about two years. That will be a key part
0:06:03 > 0:06:10of being quests.When did they take place?Because police are
0:06:10 > 0:06:14investigating, the inquests have to wait. There will be two inquests
0:06:14 > 0:06:20starting in 2019, firstly looking at the deaths of those eight people on
0:06:20 > 0:06:24the bridge and in Borough market, and secondly in a separate inquest
0:06:24 > 0:06:29because the families want it that way, looking at the death of the
0:06:29 > 0:06:39attackers.Thank you.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42London's schools are facing pressures when it comes to retaining
0:06:42 > 0:06:50staff and rising costs. Today, we were looking at how schools managed
0:06:50 > 0:06:54to outperform the rest of the country in London. Here is our
0:06:54 > 0:06:59political correspondent Karl Mercer. It was maths for these
0:06:59 > 0:07:05nine-year-olds and the man who came to see them this morning. Damian
0:07:05 > 0:07:09Hines is the new Education Secretary, out and about today to
0:07:09 > 0:07:11find out why London schools perform better than anywhere else in the
0:07:11 > 0:07:19country. He has much to get to grips with. Schools in the capital might
0:07:19 > 0:07:23be performing well, but all are facing challenges of recruiting and
0:07:23 > 0:07:29keeping staff, and of funding, with budgets not rising as fast as costs.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Every headteacher in London will tell you they do not have enough
0:07:31 > 0:07:37money and their budget is going to be cut.Schools funding is going up,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40but I recognise what you say about the cost pressures that schools have
0:07:40 > 0:07:44been facing and continue to face. That is why we are putting
0:07:44 > 0:07:48additional focus on helping schools, to see what we can do to help manage
0:07:48 > 0:07:53those budgets, particularly in the part of the budget which is not
0:07:53 > 0:07:58staff costs. Most of the cost of schools is employing people to teach
0:07:58 > 0:08:01the children, which is the core business. But there are other things
0:08:01 > 0:08:07that may be more can be done to help manage those costs.Despite the
0:08:07 > 0:08:11challenges it faces, this is a high performing school with technology at
0:08:11 > 0:08:14its heart, but it faces the money and staffing problems faced by most
0:08:14 > 0:08:19London schools.We have lots of training teachers in our school, and
0:08:19 > 0:08:23one of the biggest issues for them is the amount of money they earn and
0:08:23 > 0:08:28how much they have left after they have paid colossal rent and had to
0:08:28 > 0:08:32pay their travel to get to work. The amount of money they have left at
0:08:32 > 0:08:38the end of the month will not get them very far.Would more money from
0:08:38 > 0:08:42government help?Everybody would like more money.Questions over
0:08:42 > 0:08:46funding and staffing will loom large for the new man in charge. So will
0:08:46 > 0:08:50those over the future of grammar schools but he would not be drawn on
0:08:50 > 0:08:54that today, nor tempted to say the word when I asked him if he wanted
0:08:54 > 0:08:59more of them.I'm a fan of good schools, schools that parents want
0:08:59 > 0:09:02to send children to, and I am a fan of making sure that as many children
0:09:02 > 0:09:06as possible can get to go to a good or outstanding school and get as
0:09:06 > 0:09:09much as they can out of their education. We don't have a single
0:09:09 > 0:09:13type of school in this country. We have all sorts of different types of
0:09:13 > 0:09:17schools and we need to make sure we have good provision and places in
0:09:17 > 0:09:21all those schools.You gave that whole answer without mentioning
0:09:21 > 0:09:27grammar once.Grammar is an important part of the school
0:09:27 > 0:09:30curriculum, as you know!He would not be drawn on that, but soon
0:09:30 > 0:09:39enough he and the government will have to be. A man from south-east
0:09:39 > 0:09:42London who claimed his wife and son were killed in the Grenfell Tower in
0:09:42 > 0:09:47June has been jailed for 21 months. Ahn Nhu Nguyen hoped that his lie
0:09:47 > 0:09:54would profit him thousands of pounds from the victim relief fund.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Describing his escape from the fire at Grenfell Tower, Ahn Nhu Nguyen
0:09:58 > 0:10:01went on national television to tell his story.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24The 53-year-old told police that he and his family wrapped themselves in
0:10:24 > 0:10:30sheets and towels as they tried to escape from the 15th floor. None of
0:10:30 > 0:10:34it was true. Meeting royalty in the aftermath, he lived in hotels,
0:10:34 > 0:10:39received laptops, a mobile phone and around £11,500. But within weeks it
0:10:39 > 0:10:44became clear that his story was fabricated.It was extremely
0:10:44 > 0:10:50elaborate. It was to many news outlets, and he elaborated each
0:10:50 > 0:10:54time, getting more complex, saying he had lost his wife and his son,
0:10:54 > 0:10:58and describing the horror he faced as he was leaving the tower, which
0:10:58 > 0:11:04was completely untrue.The court was given a psychiatric report which
0:11:04 > 0:11:09found Ahn Nhu Nguyen was suffering from untreated mental health
0:11:09 > 0:11:13problems, including post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. The
0:11:13 > 0:11:16judge said whatever the state of his mental health, Ahn Nhu Nguyen knew
0:11:16 > 0:11:21exactly what he was doing, not only taking advantage of the public's
0:11:21 > 0:11:24general city, but also those who gave up their time to come and help
0:11:24 > 0:11:29in the days following the fire.It is certainly appalling. I think
0:11:29 > 0:11:34anybody that takes the opportunity of the chaos and tragedy that took
0:11:34 > 0:11:40place at Grenfell Tower in June last year for their own gain is truly
0:11:40 > 0:11:46appalling. I think those words are appropriate.Ahn Nhu Nguyen was
0:11:46 > 0:11:50sentenced to 21 months in prison and is expected to serve half of that.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54As he has already served seven months, it is likely he will be
0:11:54 > 0:11:58released in May, one month before the first anniversary of the
0:11:58 > 0:11:59tragedy.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01You're watching BBC London News on BBC One.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02Nice to have you with us.
0:12:02 > 0:12:10This is what's coming up before 7pm.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14There has been more ploughing than playing at Ruskin Park in south
0:12:14 > 0:12:18London. Find out why later in the programme.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22And we will be storing one of the oldest rivalries in international
0:12:22 > 0:12:26sport, as England and Wales meet here in the capital, both looking to
0:12:26 > 0:12:30build on their winning start to the Six Nations.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36For decades, BBC Television Centre in west London was home
0:12:36 > 0:12:38to some of the nations best loved programmes.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42But it all came to an end and the site was sold
0:12:42 > 0:12:45to make way for a housing and leisure development.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49It's now opening to the public with around half of nearly
0:12:49 > 0:12:52a thousand flats completed, and some of the old magic is set
0:12:52 > 0:12:58to return to the studios too.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09In this building, over 4000 people work to make television programmes.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12For 50 years, Television Centre in White city was the home of the BBC.
0:13:12 > 0:13:23From Blue Peter to the record breakers, and old Grey Whistle test,
0:13:23 > 0:13:28many classic shows were recorded here. It closed five years ago and
0:13:28 > 0:13:33after years of redevelopment it is reopening, now housing nearly 1000
0:13:33 > 0:13:38flats, a gym, shops, restaurants and an exclusive members club. But it is
0:13:38 > 0:13:42still a Television Centre. Three refurbished television studios will
0:13:42 > 0:13:47be used to record shows, including Graham Norton and daytime ITV
0:13:47 > 0:13:51programmes.We have done a lot of upgrading of the wiring, the
0:13:51 > 0:13:56technology, the flooring, the seating. In actual box has remained
0:13:56 > 0:14:01very similar.For the architects, working with an iconic existing
0:14:01 > 0:14:04building presented challengers but also opportunities.We recreated the
0:14:04 > 0:14:14original Windows, using the panels inside of the black static ones. We
0:14:14 > 0:14:17repositioned the original statue in the middle of the fountain. One of
0:14:17 > 0:14:21my favourite part is the stage door, which will be the new entrance for
0:14:21 > 0:14:27the apartments. How we have managed to restore the original assets, it
0:14:27 > 0:14:32has come together in a strong and vibrant way.But there is quite the
0:14:32 > 0:14:37price tag to live in the building. £650,000 for the cheapest
0:14:37 > 0:14:44one-bedroom flat. Apartments are limited to one per buyer.Pricing
0:14:44 > 0:14:49the local community out.This is one of the local people invited to look
0:14:49 > 0:14:54around the development. What did she make of it?Nice to come in and see
0:14:54 > 0:14:59it. It is lovely and makes the place look better. White city was a bit
0:14:59 > 0:15:02dreary before. You would not really stop, apart from Westfield coming
0:15:02 > 0:15:08in. But I would not say this is for the community.The developers say
0:15:08 > 0:15:14140 of the flats will be affordable, sold at 25% of the market rates to
0:15:14 > 0:15:19those living or working in the area for five years.We try to keep the
0:15:19 > 0:15:23prices at a sensible level, within reach for as many Londoners as
0:15:23 > 0:15:32possible.You think 650,000 is that? It is a big call for people. You
0:15:32 > 0:15:36need at least two incomes to do that and some equity at the start, in
0:15:36 > 0:15:43London.Despite the cost, the flats are proving popular. Around 6000
0:15:43 > 0:15:46people will eventually live and work among these corridors. Many who have
0:15:46 > 0:15:51bought them say they want to be" to history, as the old Television
0:15:51 > 0:16:04Centre gets a new lease of life.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08The old round £1 coin went out of circulation, but you have to use it
0:16:08 > 0:16:13in one area if you want to pay for parking in cash. The fact that it is
0:16:13 > 0:16:16no longer legal tender means it's causing confusion and local
0:16:16 > 0:16:20businesses say they are the ones losing out. Charlotte Franks has
0:16:20 > 0:16:29more. This woman runs a dental practice and many offer patients
0:16:29 > 0:16:32rely on the nearby parking bays but there is an issue with the parking
0:16:32 > 0:16:37meters and it is all because of this coin. Many metres near the dental
0:16:37 > 0:16:44surgery only accept the old £1 coin, which is out of circulation.It is
0:16:44 > 0:16:49resulting in stress for patients. They will come in and ask if we can
0:16:49 > 0:16:54help them, whether we had any old pound coins and then obviously, if
0:16:54 > 0:17:07they do have the treatment done and they cannot pay
0:17:09 > 0:17:12for their parking, they then stress about a traffic warden giving them a
0:17:12 > 0:17:15ticket.The old £1 coins stopped been legal tender on the 16th of
0:17:15 > 0:17:17October last year but despite this, many party machines in Hammersmith
0:17:17 > 0:17:20and Fulham have not been converted. I will put in the new £1 coin and
0:17:20 > 0:17:23sure enough, it does not accept the new £1 coin. It is extraordinary
0:17:23 > 0:17:26incompetence from the Labour council here, the large number of businesses
0:17:26 > 0:17:31whose customers are complaining and businesses themselves getting five,
0:17:31 > 0:17:36it has caused huge disruption.In order to try and solve the issue,
0:17:36 > 0:17:39the council installed additional machines that only accept credit
0:17:39 > 0:17:44cards but you can also pay via an app or a phone or coins, as long as
0:17:44 > 0:17:57you have the right ones. One local
0:18:05 > 0:18:07resident said her sister has stopped parking in the area altogether.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Because the machines have changed and she cannot get the old coins in,
0:18:10 > 0:18:13now they have done away with the other Quins, she has not got the
0:18:13 > 0:18:16bank then, she does not have a clue with it, she is getting on and she
0:18:16 > 0:18:19does not come down. They did not put the new meters and quick enough and
0:18:19 > 0:18:22the old £1 coins ran out and only the old meters were still going and
0:18:22 > 0:18:25people were getting tickets and they do not have the old money to buy the
0:18:25 > 0:18:27tickets.The council told the BBC in October that they would have the
0:18:27 > 0:18:30machines converted later in the year but today they said, 85% of all
0:18:30 > 0:18:32parking payments are neither made by our phone app, are party machines
0:18:32 > 0:18:44take hard and contactless payments and the few remaining machines
0:18:46 > 0:18:49taking the old £1 coins will soon be removed. When that will happen, we
0:18:49 > 0:18:52do not know but if you're parking in the borough it might be time to
0:18:52 > 0:18:56check down the back of the sofa for some old coins if that is the way
0:18:56 > 0:18:58you plan to pay for it. If there is a similar problem where you live, do
0:18:58 > 0:18:59let us know.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Now for a rugby union rivalry steeped in tradition.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Since they first played each other in 1881, fixtures between England
0:19:03 > 0:19:05and Wales have been full of drama.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Tomorrow the sides meet again at Twickenham,
0:19:07 > 0:19:09with Wales determined to dent their host's chances of
0:19:09 > 0:19:10winning the Six Nations yet again.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Chris Slegg has more.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16It was England who came out on top when the sides met in Cardiff last
0:19:16 > 0:19:22year. Victory spurring them onto a successful defence of their Six
0:19:22 > 0:19:27Nations title. Before the battle, the talk has been of bottle, with
0:19:27 > 0:19:33Eddie Jones questioning whether Rhys Patchell has enough of it.He has
0:19:33 > 0:19:38not played much test rugby at all, he is a young guy who does not have
0:19:38 > 0:19:44great experience players around him, he will have rather shot at him and
0:19:44 > 0:19:50feral -- Farrell, so the pressure on him is going to be immense. It is
0:19:50 > 0:19:58whether he has the bottle to handle it.At the world rugby Museum inside
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Twickenham Stadium, the history of the sport is celebrated like nowhere
0:20:01 > 0:20:05else. It seems England and Wales have always had the knack of getting
0:20:05 > 0:20:10underneath each other's skin.This belong to a Gloucester player who
0:20:10 > 0:20:14played for England in the 1920s which was a successful period for
0:20:14 > 0:20:18England. He was a flanker, he relatives -- relish the competent
0:20:18 > 0:20:25side of the game. He played with a smile on his face. The Welsh, who
0:20:25 > 0:20:32were not as successful called him the Grinning Menace.Also on
0:20:32 > 0:20:36display, one of the 77 England shirts previously worn by Danny
0:20:36 > 0:20:41Care. Tomorrow the Harlequins man pulls on his 78, making him Inglot's
0:20:41 > 0:20:46was capped scrum-half of all time, an achievement very much played down
0:20:46 > 0:20:50by his captain.They do not think he is counting. He is not counting
0:20:50 > 0:20:55games, the next game is the most important. I am sure he wants to do
0:20:55 > 0:20:59himself and the team proud and put in a good performance for the team.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04By this time tomorrow, whether it be England or Wales reflecting on
0:21:04 > 0:21:12victory? You will love this next story. The rarest type of weight is
0:21:12 > 0:21:16to be grown in a park in Lambeth with the help of London's last heard
0:21:16 > 0:21:20of Shire horses and they are actually more rare than the giant
0:21:20 > 0:21:24panda. I know this sounds made up but it is true. If all that was not
0:21:24 > 0:21:29enough, the weight will then be used to make flour in London's only
0:21:29 > 0:21:34working mill. I will leave it to Thomas McGill to tell you more.
0:21:34 > 0:21:41Arriving for a very different day at work, meet knobby and he is. Two of
0:21:41 > 0:21:45the capital's last work in Sharon horses in south London today on a
0:21:45 > 0:21:49very special mission.They are planting a selection of old British
0:21:49 > 0:21:55weights and that includes such things as red llamas, with the help
0:21:55 > 0:22:00of these shire horses...Andrew Forbes loves wheat, so much so he is
0:22:00 > 0:22:04keen to save some of our rarest strains, many on the verge of
0:22:04 > 0:22:08extinction.It is a very rare commodity at the moment and we think
0:22:08 > 0:22:12it needs to be coming back into cultivation for the benefit of
0:22:12 > 0:22:21organic farming, for the benefit of the bread that weird.And so it is
0:22:21 > 0:22:24after, this rare breed doing its best to save some of our older
0:22:24 > 0:22:28suite, an honour for the horses and their operator Tom Nixon who says
0:22:28 > 0:22:34using traditions -- but the traditional farming methods, will
0:22:34 > 0:22:40guarantee great results.These choruses, you will get a much better
0:22:40 > 0:22:44crop of weight, a bigger wheat seed, you will have less weed problems
0:22:44 > 0:22:50because you will not have drainage issues, so it is a natural thing to
0:22:50 > 0:22:54do, is use the horses.You see the graves there are? That is what turns
0:22:54 > 0:23:00into the new plan.For some local children today was also a chance for
0:23:00 > 0:23:05them to do their bit and plant the first of what is hoped will be a
0:23:05 > 0:23:14bumper crop. All this ploughing can be hungry work. As I was saying.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19This rare Wheatsheaf and these beautiful shire horses have more in
0:23:19 > 0:23:24common than you think, both familiar sights in London and the surrounding
0:23:24 > 0:23:28areas, both on the cusp of disappearing for good.Another
0:23:28 > 0:23:32familiar sight in any large town is the great brewer strays who is four
0:23:32 > 0:23:38tonne loads are John Barrowman Vasin shire horses.Once the backbone of
0:23:38 > 0:23:40London, used to pull goods and people around the city but these
0:23:40 > 0:23:45days life is a bit more laid-back for Italy's horses. But if Andrew's
0:23:45 > 0:23:51wheat starts grow and grow, they could be the verge of getting a lot
0:23:51 > 0:23:56bigger. That could only happen in London.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Pedestrians in west London had a lucky escape this week
0:23:58 > 0:24:01when a large block of ice fell from the sky onto a street.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04A security camera caught the moment the block landed in Kew just
0:24:04 > 0:24:05after 9am on Wednesday morning.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07It narrowly missed a street cleaner.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09The road is under the Heathrow flight path, and it's thought
0:24:09 > 0:24:13the ice fell from a plane.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Now the weather with Matt Taylor.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32You may see the odd snowflake later, but still there is ice coming
0:24:32 > 0:24:36tonight, forming on the ground as they go into a chilly night. Let us
0:24:36 > 0:24:41look at what has been happening, you can see the sun setting in Bromley,
0:24:41 > 0:24:46clear skies on the way and here they are on the satellite, clear skies
0:24:46 > 0:24:49moving and across London tonight which will lead to quite a chilly
0:24:49 > 0:24:54night. The cloud across Essex and Kent is continuing to thin and brake
0:24:54 > 0:24:58and under clear skies, watch out from the West have a twinkly frost
0:24:58 > 0:25:02starts to appear on our weather map, just about everyone will see frost
0:25:02 > 0:25:06on the ground, by the time we hit the morning, you could see
0:25:06 > 0:25:19temperatures as low as -5 or -6 to get your weekend
0:25:24 > 0:25:27underway. A chilly start to the Wigan but a lovely bright and sunny
0:25:27 > 0:25:29one, quickly melting the frost, enjoy the morning sunshine because
0:25:29 > 0:25:31quite quickly, cloud will increase and into the afternoon, there could
0:25:31 > 0:25:34be some rain. Bear that in mind if you're going to Twickenham. The
0:25:34 > 0:25:36temperatures are lifting up by the end of the afternoon, around nine or
0:25:36 > 0:25:3910 degrees. As we go into Saturday night, heavier and more persistent
0:25:39 > 0:25:41rain, strong to gale-force winds, that will clear way, the wettest
0:25:41 > 0:25:47part of the weekend will be the night-time, winds on Sunday, lots of
0:25:47 > 0:25:50sunshine, some isolated showers pushing down on the breeze, they
0:25:50 > 0:25:54will be of sleet or snow but for much of Sunday, dry and sunny day,
0:25:54 > 0:26:01it will feel cold in the wind. Sunday night into Monday, winds
0:26:01 > 0:26:06coming in from the general Northwest, could be a frosty start
0:26:06 > 0:26:10to the new working with a local pressure system starting to gather
0:26:10 > 0:26:15in the West. For half term, we start off on a cold note, we will see wet
0:26:15 > 0:26:20and windy weather and temperature slowly climbing up but at least it
0:26:20 > 0:26:25will not be a wash-out. Thank you.
