0:00:00 > 0:00:00disappointing, cloudier and damp for most of us.

0:00:07 > 0:00:11Tonight on BBC London News, ten years after the death of this man in

0:00:11 > 0:00:16police custody one officer is suspended and now faces disciplinary

0:00:16 > 0:00:22action.Why should a family have to fight for justice to find out how

0:00:22 > 0:00:27their loved one died at the hands of the state?We will have an update on

0:00:27 > 0:00:32the case of Sean Rigg who died at Exton police station. Also denied a

0:00:32 > 0:00:36safety drivers launched by Uber to protect passengers and drivers but

0:00:36 > 0:00:41is it enough to win back the company's license? And the fading

0:00:41 > 0:00:45dream of home ownership, how the number of young adults buying a

0:00:45 > 0:00:53property in London is plummeting. And the films short listed for an

0:00:53 > 0:00:56Oscar for their visual effects, we visit the Soho company which helped

0:00:56 > 0:01:05to create them.

0:01:05 > 0:01:11Good evening and welcome to the programme with me, Louisa Preston.

0:01:11 > 0:01:16First tonight. Ten years after the death of a mentally ill man in

0:01:16 > 0:01:20police custody and officer has been suspended. Sean Rigg died in Brixton

0:01:20 > 0:01:25police station in 2008. Today his relatives have spoken out about the

0:01:25 > 0:01:29length of time it is taken to find out exactly how their loved one died

0:01:29 > 0:01:36whilst in the care of police officers. Chris Rogers explains.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38Sean Rigg overcame his mental health issues through music.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40In August 2008 he was arrested for threatening

0:01:40 > 0:01:45behaviour.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47He was restrained, and later died in police custody at

0:01:47 > 0:01:53Brixton police station.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55This week would have been Sean's 50th, on the

0:01:55 > 0:01:5711th.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00Reminiscing, basically, and it is sad that, ten years later,

0:02:00 > 0:02:02I'm still having to fight on behalf of

0:02:02 > 0:02:11my family to get some sort of accountability.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13Their only hope is disciplinary hearings for the

0:02:13 > 0:02:16officers involved but the family accused the Met police of sitting on

0:02:16 > 0:02:18their hands as two officers try to retire or resign,

0:02:18 > 0:02:20which would prevent them facing any further scrutiny.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22I will challenge and try anything for

0:02:22 > 0:02:24some form of accountability.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Do you think you will get it?

0:02:26 > 0:02:30I have no faith in the judicial system,

0:02:30 > 0:02:33because I've had to challenge every step of it and I shouldn't have had

0:02:33 > 0:02:35to do that.

0:02:35 > 0:02:40And not only me but other families as well.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43Three officers involved remain on restricted duty but today the

0:02:43 > 0:02:46family were forced for a second time to threaten

0:02:46 > 0:02:46legal action to stop an

0:02:46 > 0:02:48officer from leaving the force.

0:02:48 > 0:02:53The family of Sean Rigg only learned of

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Sergeant Paul White's plans to retire in the last few days, forcing

0:02:56 > 0:03:01them to appeal to the Met Police to step in.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04And next week, the family are at the High Court, as PC Mark

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Harriott appeals against his suspension to stop them from

0:03:06 > 0:03:11retiring.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13And we have also learned that both officers now face allegations

0:03:13 > 0:03:16of lying to the inquest into Sean Rigg's death,

0:03:16 > 0:03:17and independent police watchdog investigators.

0:03:17 > 0:03:27It is the latest twist in a long legal battle,

0:03:28 > 0:03:31in 2012, an inquest finds police used unsuitable force on Sean Rigg

0:03:31 > 0:03:33but in September 2016, the Crown Prosecution

0:03:33 > 0:03:34Service decides there is

0:03:34 > 0:03:35insufficient evidence for criminal charges.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38In November 2016, Sergeant Paul White is found not guilty of

0:03:38 > 0:03:39lying at the original inquest.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43A charity which represents families who have lost loved ones in police

0:03:43 > 0:03:48custody says it is familiar territory for most cases.

0:03:48 > 0:03:52We have to have a system that is a lot fairer,

0:03:52 > 0:04:02and we need a police complaints process that is fit for purpose.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06Initially, the Met police refused to comment on Sergeant White's

0:04:06 > 0:04:07retirement.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10Only tonight after calls from the family of Sean Rigg and the

0:04:10 > 0:04:13BBC was his suspension announced, and it means the family now still

0:04:13 > 0:04:15have hope of finding out exactly how and why Sean died.

0:04:16 > 0:04:17Chris Rogers, BBC London News.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Uber is to introduce new measures to protect

0:04:19 > 0:04:21its passengers and drivers.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24The company is currently fighting for its future in the capital,

0:04:24 > 0:04:26after having its licence stripped last year because of concerns

0:04:27 > 0:04:34over passenger safety.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36An appeal against that decision is to be heard

0:04:36 > 0:04:38in the high court in June.

0:04:38 > 0:04:39Emma North has more on today's developments

0:04:40 > 0:04:41and is at Uber's Headquarters.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44Emma.

0:04:44 > 0:04:49Think it's safe to say that time is ticking for Uber. It is five months

0:04:49 > 0:04:56now since decided it was not fit and proper to hold a licence in London.

0:04:56 > 0:05:02Uber wants to show it has changed its ways. So today we heard a list

0:05:02 > 0:05:06of things Uber intends to bring in to make things safer for customers

0:05:06 > 0:05:11and drivers. Firstly there will be a 24-hour manned phone line so that

0:05:11 > 0:05:14drivers and customers can call in if there's any problem and this human

0:05:14 > 0:05:18being they can talk to. Second big customers will get more details

0:05:18 > 0:05:21about the licenses of the drivers so they will know whose car they are

0:05:21 > 0:05:26getting into and who is driving that car. And thirdly drivers will be

0:05:26 > 0:05:30limited to being behind the wheel for no more than ten hours at a

0:05:30 > 0:05:36stint so nobody drives too tired but will it work?

0:05:36 > 0:05:37Uber's future is at stake.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39For both customers and drivers this means

0:05:39 > 0:05:41seeing more of a personal touch.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Gareth, a typical Uber driver who prizes

0:05:43 > 0:05:45flexibility in his life, he

0:05:45 > 0:05:47combines being a stand-up comedian, home-schooling his son with an

0:05:47 > 0:05:49average eight hours a day behind the wheel.

0:05:49 > 0:05:55In the time that you've been working for Uber, how has the

0:05:55 > 0:05:57attitude towards their drivers changed?

0:05:57 > 0:06:01Well I did have an issue with something and I had to send an

0:06:01 > 0:06:03e-mail, and there was no number to call, so this,

0:06:03 > 0:06:06it's always nice to speak to a human and not kind of go

0:06:06 > 0:06:10through a series of FAQs on a screen.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Serious worries about Uber's safety and security led to TfL

0:06:12 > 0:06:15taking away its licence last year.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Uber says its new measures, such as a telephone

0:06:17 > 0:06:27hotline and more of the

0:06:28 > 0:06:30drivers' details being available to customers are a sign it's learnt

0:06:31 > 0:06:33its lesson.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35What's your relationship like with TfL at the moment?

0:06:35 > 0:06:40We are in constructive conversations with

0:06:40 > 0:06:41TfL and today some of the announcements we've made a

0:06:41 > 0:06:44responding to the criticism we've had from them so we've got a new

0:06:44 > 0:06:47approach to reporting incidents to the police and we hope this

0:06:47 > 0:06:50demonstrates that we've listened to the feedback and we are making a

0:06:50 > 0:06:51positive change.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54Uber's battle to stay on our streets is very much a

0:06:54 > 0:06:55public one.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57When it lost its licence, or than half a million

0:06:57 > 0:07:00people signed a petition to get TfL to change its mind.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02But Transport for London holds all the cards here

0:07:02 > 0:07:04and it is making sure its rules will reflect

0:07:04 > 0:07:10transport in London has changed.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13For example it is looking at cutting the number of

0:07:13 > 0:07:14hours drivers can work and forcing companies

0:07:14 > 0:07:16to hand their data to the

0:07:16 > 0:07:18government.

0:07:18 > 0:07:23One suggestion from TfL was a service or women only.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26Why, can you imagine if someone said Ubers are going to be men only?

0:07:26 > 0:07:28There'd be an outrage.

0:07:28 > 0:07:29It's a good idea I think.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32Also I think people can make use of other features they have,

0:07:32 > 0:07:35like you can send your tracking information to friends, it's a good

0:07:35 > 0:07:37idea, especially if it makes people feel more safe.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39It's just assuming that the men are like, have bad

0:07:39 > 0:07:40intentions, I guess.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43But you never know who you are going to be in a

0:07:43 > 0:07:44car with.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47This is all about intentions, Uber wants to give its

0:07:47 > 0:07:4940,000 drivers and its 3 million customers here in London.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52To do so it has to be seen to be turning the

0:07:52 > 0:07:53corner.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55So some pretty serious promises but bear in mind there was serious

0:07:55 > 0:08:01criticism aimed at Uber by TfL last year. Uber will find out if it had a

0:08:01 > 0:08:08feature in the capital later this summer. Emma North, thank you.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10So we've been hearing how the number of young adults

0:08:10 > 0:08:12buying their own homes has significantly fallen

0:08:12 > 0:08:13over past 20 years.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16Well the dream to buy a property has faded in the capital more

0:08:16 > 0:08:17than anywhere else in UK.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19We've visited one London firm where employees have outlined

0:08:19 > 0:08:22the huge challenge they face to get onto the property ladder.

0:08:22 > 0:08:29Here's our political correspondent, Karl Mercer.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31It's Friday morning at Big Sky Set Build,

0:08:31 > 0:08:35a busy workshop in North London with a skilled and young staff -

0:08:35 > 0:08:38just the sort of people a report out today says are finding it harder

0:08:38 > 0:08:40and harder to buy a property here in the capital.

0:08:40 > 0:08:41Hi, I'm Dan Lawrence.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43I've lived in London for about 14 years now,

0:08:43 > 0:08:53and I'm a set builder.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03Yeah, pretty much all my friends, that are working,

0:09:04 > 0:09:05normal skilled jobs,

0:09:05 > 0:09:06getting paid average.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08No one seems to be able to afford a house.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10It's up to getting an inheritance or something,

0:09:10 > 0:09:11the only real possible way.

0:09:11 > 0:09:12My name is Sam Cunningham.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15I've lived in London for five years, and I'm 26 years old.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18We currently rent in zone five, which means I'm paying rent

0:09:18 > 0:09:21and travelling in from zone five every day to zone one,

0:09:21 > 0:09:27so it kind of takes off any sort of extra income I might have.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29An Institute for Fiscal Studies report today shows how

0:09:29 > 0:09:30things have changed

0:09:30 > 0:09:32for 25-to-34-year-olds earning between £22,000 and £30,000.

0:09:32 > 0:09:36Back in 1995, nearly half owned their own home.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39Now it's just 20%.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41So London's seen the sharpest fall in home ownership,

0:09:41 > 0:09:45and that's not surprising when you consider the fact that

0:09:45 > 0:09:50three-quarters of 25-34-year-olds in London face average house prices

0:09:50 > 0:09:53in the capital of more than ten times their annual income,

0:09:53 > 0:09:56so for the vast majority of Londoners today it really does

0:09:56 > 0:09:57seem like houses are out of reach.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59That means demands on money can hit hard.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01Saving for a deposit can be difficult.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03My name's Dino Forte, I'm originally from the Scottish Borders.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06I've been down in London for coming up about six years,

0:10:06 > 0:10:09and I've been working on my current job for about five years.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12So I'm 30.

0:10:12 > 0:10:13My fiancee, Natasha, she's twenty...

0:10:13 > 0:10:1527.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17You better get that right!

0:10:17 > 0:10:22Yeah, I know, just thinking that.

0:10:22 > 0:10:28I proposed to her in the summer, so, you know what I mean,

0:10:28 > 0:10:30not only saving up for a wedding, you know?

0:10:30 > 0:10:35And I guess in that sense, like, you'd have to potentially

0:10:35 > 0:10:37put that on hold - say you did want to get

0:10:37 > 0:10:38married, it's either...

0:10:38 > 0:10:40You can't do both things.

0:10:40 > 0:10:41My name's Jon Petrie.

0:10:41 > 0:10:42I'm originally from Glasgow.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44I'm 35 years old.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46I've lived down in London for almost six years.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49You're led to believe that you should own a house and that

0:10:49 > 0:10:51that is the value of success.

0:10:51 > 0:10:55If you own your own home, then you have that security,

0:10:55 > 0:10:59but it doesn't really feel secure, the idea of owning a home, any more.

0:10:59 > 0:11:09It feels like more of a burden than anything else.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21A woman has been charged with murdering a seven-month-old

0:11:22 > 0:11:32baby girl who died last year.

0:11:39 > 0:11:40Shalina Kukkundoor Padmanabha appeared

0:11:40 > 0:11:41at Chelmsford Magistrates Court.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Police were called to a home in Buckhurst Hill last

0:11:43 > 0:11:45August after receiving a tip-off from paramedics.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48The baby died in hospital - and tests showed the child had

0:11:48 > 0:11:49suffered multiple fractures.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Utility companies could be charged up to two and a half thousand pounds

0:11:52 > 0:11:54a day for digging up the busiest roads at peak times.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57The aim would be to cut traffic jams caused by roadworks.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00Councils could be given the powers - following a trial in parts

0:12:00 > 0:12:02of London and Kent, which significantly cut congestion.

0:12:02 > 0:12:03Next the DIY detective.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06A store owner who felt he had to do his own investigation to help

0:12:06 > 0:12:08catch a shoplifter who stole expensive equipment from him.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11The owner of Camden Guitars felt the police weren't doing enough

0:12:11 > 0:12:13and took matters into his own hands to seek justice.

0:12:14 > 0:12:15Jim Wheble has the story.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Camden Guitars, all about the spirit of communication and with all this

0:12:17 > 0:12:20equipment a bit of trust.I had a bad feeling so I came downstairs to

0:12:20 > 0:12:28check what was happening.In March, Deicola Neves the owner was robbed

0:12:28 > 0:12:36by somebody in his studio.I went to check the microphone, it wasn't

0:12:36 > 0:12:40here, the box was empty, it was gone.The loss of that £3000

0:12:40 > 0:12:45microphone lead to an unlikely journey from shop owner to DIY

0:12:45 > 0:12:50detective.I had to find a way to track him, to find where he is all

0:12:50 > 0:12:56track. So I went to the computer, his Facebook was mobbed in there,

0:12:56 > 0:13:00and it had his name in their -- logged in.With this and CCTV given

0:13:00 > 0:13:05to the police and the real detectives found an address but

0:13:05 > 0:13:10several visits led to no arrests. After two months, I didn't hear from

0:13:10 > 0:13:15them and I was sending them all the details, I was doing my own

0:13:15 > 0:13:18research. But eventually the police just said, we have to close the

0:13:18 > 0:13:26case.Deicola persevered, finding out with a shoplifter was gigging,

0:13:26 > 0:13:29finding out even when he had previously worked and visiting his

0:13:29 > 0:13:35old workplaces, telling the police to no avail until Deicola had as an

0:13:35 > 0:13:37breakthrough, the shoplifter was performing at a gig right around the

0:13:37 > 0:13:42corner.So I said, I'm going to go around there and see if I can find

0:13:42 > 0:13:47him. So I went there and he was there.So you ran to the high street

0:13:47 > 0:13:50to find officers, you managed to find them and they're what happened?

0:13:50 > 0:13:56They came and they finally arrested him.That arrest finally led to a

0:13:56 > 0:14:01conviction that it is an experience that is left Deicola feeling let

0:14:01 > 0:14:05down by the police.I was disappointed, I expected the police

0:14:05 > 0:14:11to be more helpful.To do what you did.Exactly.The Met police say

0:14:11 > 0:14:15they are happy to discuss any concerns he has about the

0:14:15 > 0:14:20investigation but for the DIY detective it is case solved. Jim

0:14:20 > 0:14:29Weibull, BBC London News. Still to come, tech success, how boffins in

0:14:29 > 0:14:32Soho have been behind the scenes of an Oscar win every day for a decade.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54the careers of stars like singer Leona Lewis and the dance

0:14:54 > 0:14:56group Diversity.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59It's held at the Hackney Empire and organised by a group aiming

0:14:59 > 0:15:01to steer young people away from gangs and crime.

0:15:01 > 0:15:12Ayshea Buksh is there, where the show is well underway.

0:15:12 > 0:15:16Good evening from a fantastically noisy and excitable Hackney Empire.

0:15:16 > 0:15:22The show is well under way, this is the under 13 section, and the

0:15:22 > 0:15:26audience is full of friends and family and supporters of those

0:15:26 > 0:15:31taking part. But for the organisers this is far more than just a talent

0:15:31 > 0:15:39show.Last minute preparations and the Crib youth project in Hackney

0:15:39 > 0:15:46for their biggest night of the year. The talent show has singers, dance

0:15:46 > 0:15:47groups and poets performing

0:15:47 > 0:15:56live on stage at the Hackney Empire. The young people come from different

0:15:56 > 0:15:58youth clubs and centres across London.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01Organisers say the aim of the event is to show the creative potential

0:16:01 > 0:16:02young people have when given the right support.

0:16:02 > 0:16:08All we ever hear is negative things about young people,

0:16:08 > 0:16:10like gang-related - this one's getting stabbed, the parents

0:16:10 > 0:16:12bury their children, so we need to show the positive side

0:16:12 > 0:16:16of young people, what they actually do, because that is not being shown.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19The Crib is based in the De Beauvoir Estate in Hackney.

0:16:19 > 0:16:23It works with hundreds of young people and their families.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26As well as a youth club, it runs regular workshops on issues

0:16:26 > 0:16:33such as knife crime and mental health and well-being.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36Pembe Tokluhan went to the Crib as a youngster, and now works

0:16:36 > 0:16:38as a professional stage manager.

0:16:38 > 0:16:39She's been coordinating the Boroughs United event.

0:16:39 > 0:16:45We have over 200 people backstage - there are all volunteers.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47And I think that's the difference with us.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50There are a lot of talent competitions, but there is nothing

0:16:50 > 0:16:52that specifically targets all 33 boroughs across London,

0:16:52 > 0:16:54and that's what we target, within London and bringing everyone

0:16:54 > 0:16:58together to be one community.

0:16:58 > 0:17:05One local young woman taking part is singer Elaria Admasso.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10It will be the first time she's performed on such a large stage.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13I think getting to a bigger place kind of expands my experiences,

0:17:13 > 0:17:16and it helps me and my future with my singing career.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18It's like I really appreciate it, and it feels like

0:17:18 > 0:17:19an achievement to me.

0:17:19 > 0:17:21Organisers hope tonight will help break down barriers

0:17:21 > 0:17:23between youngsters from different parts of London, and promote

0:17:23 > 0:17:25peace and positivity to the wider community.

0:17:25 > 0:17:34Ayshea Buksh, BBC London News.

0:17:41 > 0:17:45Well, that message of peace is certainly evident tonight at the

0:17:45 > 0:17:51show. It got underway with a montage of young people that had been killed

0:17:51 > 0:17:57since last year's show at the Empire, and at this very noisy venue

0:17:57 > 0:18:02a few minutes of silence was observed by everybody here. Then, of

0:18:02 > 0:18:07course, the talent came on, and the act started to perform. A huge

0:18:07 > 0:18:14variety of acts, all different ages. One of them, who was a previous

0:18:14 > 0:18:21winner, is here tonight. Good evening. Jermaine, you were the

0:18:21 > 0:18:26winner is here at Boroughs United. This must take you back?It takes me

0:18:26 > 0:18:31back to all those many moons ago when I performed on this hackneyed

0:18:31 > 0:18:35Empire stage for Boroughs United and it is great to see they are

0:18:35 > 0:18:38continuing with the effort to engage young people in their talents and

0:18:38 > 0:18:41skills and giving them a platform to know their value and their words.

0:18:41 > 0:18:47Actually, I am good at dance, singing, production, and all of a

0:18:47 > 0:18:58sudden sending a positive message out to the world

0:18:59 > 0:19:01that this is what our young people are doing. Stop focusing on the

0:19:01 > 0:19:04violence on the streets and start focusing on the great work these

0:19:04 > 0:19:06young people are doing in our communities, on Aristides.Have you

0:19:06 > 0:19:08seen some good acts you like tonight?Yes, I am a judge. Well

0:19:08 > 0:19:11they are performing now I have someone performing for me but the

0:19:11 > 0:19:14talent is really is.Jermaine has to get back to the box to judge this

0:19:14 > 0:19:19evening, and the show will go on late into the night. Back to you.

0:19:19 > 0:19:19STUDIO: Ayshea

0:19:19 > 0:19:20late into the night. Back to you. STUDIO: Ayshea, enjoy it. Thanks

0:19:20 > 0:19:23very much.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26Football now, and the FA Cup 5th round gets under way tonight.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28For the first time in 10 years, only two London teams

0:19:28 > 0:19:33have made it this far.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35Both will be hoping to avoid shock defeats this weekend starting

0:19:35 > 0:19:37with Chelsea who host Hull at Stamford Bridge tonight,

0:19:38 > 0:19:39where Chris Slegg is.

0:19:39 > 0:19:48Chris?Yes, Chelsea will be firm favourites against them tonight. And

0:19:48 > 0:19:53Hull will be firm favourites against Rochdale. Is this Chelsea's most

0:19:53 > 0:19:56realistic route to silverware now? Manchester City have run away with

0:19:56 > 0:20:00the Premier League, and in the Champions League Chelsea have a huge

0:20:00 > 0:20:04task with the Barcelona visit here on Tuesday in the first leg in the

0:20:04 > 0:20:08round of 16, so plenty riding on this. Added significance to this

0:20:08 > 0:20:14match, because there has been the sad news this week that Ryan Mason,

0:20:14 > 0:20:20the Hull midfielder, has had to retire at the age of 26. He used to

0:20:20 > 0:20:23play for Tottenham, grew up in Enfield, and he fractured his skull

0:20:23 > 0:20:28when Hull played Chelsea here last season. We can hear from him now and

0:20:28 > 0:20:31then from a very sympathetic Chelsea manager Antonio Conte.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33Medically, from a medical point of view, it's a no-brainer.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36The more research and the more things we found out,

0:20:36 > 0:20:37the risks are just far too high.

0:20:37 > 0:20:39So, like I said, I'm content.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41I know I'm making the right decision, 100% the right decision.

0:20:42 > 0:20:43I'm not going to regret it.

0:20:43 > 0:20:44It's a pity.

0:20:44 > 0:20:47This news is bad news for us, and we are very sad.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50The players in the club wish him and his family the best,

0:20:50 > 0:21:00the best for the present, the best for the future.

0:21:05 > 0:21:09Chris, very difficult time for Ryan Mason. But on the pitch what can we

0:21:09 > 0:21:16expect from Chelsea tonight?Well, after a run of results, you know,

0:21:16 > 0:21:24the mood has lifted somewhat after the 3-0 game with West Brom, taking

0:21:24 > 0:21:27the pressure somewhat of Antonio Conte. He will have to rest some

0:21:27 > 0:21:30players with that huge Barcelona match coming, then a tough fixture

0:21:30 > 0:21:34away to Manchester United, then Manchester City in the league. He

0:21:34 > 0:21:38has a few injuries to content with, David Luiz and Ross Barkley among

0:21:38 > 0:21:42them, but you would imagine whatever team he puts out tonight will be too

0:21:42 > 0:21:46strong for Hull side one point above the relegation zone in the

0:21:46 > 0:21:50championship. Just to see there is live commentary of this match on BBC

0:21:50 > 0:22:00London Digital radio. Back to you. Chris, thanks very much for that.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03Prince Harry joined 10,000 rugby fans at Twickenham Stadium

0:22:03 > 0:22:06today to watch an open training session with the England rugby team.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08The Prince met the players who are currently preparing

0:22:08 > 0:22:10for their Six Nations match with Scotland next week.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12He attended the event to celebrate grassroots clubs and charities

0:22:12 > 0:22:13using rugby for good.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16What Harry does so well is that he is so accessible,

0:22:16 > 0:22:18and I think he does a great job of promoting sport,

0:22:18 > 0:22:21and I think working, coming down to the RFU today,

0:22:21 > 0:22:24the crowd having the opportunity to see the players but also to see

0:22:24 > 0:22:27a member of the Royal family, it just adds to that bit

0:22:27 > 0:22:29of icing on the cake.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32He has done at the last three or four times we have been here,

0:22:32 > 0:22:35and I think it just makes the day that little bit more magical.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37They're scenes of futuristic worlds which transform

0:22:37 > 0:22:44us in time and space.

0:22:44 > 0:22:48Behind the computer generated content is a company in Soho

0:22:48 > 0:22:51which has become a world leader - so much so it's worked with every

0:22:51 > 0:22:54film nominated in the Visual Effects category at this years Oscars.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56Wendy Hurrell has been to meet the team.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59Behind the visual effects that put us in fantasy spaceships...

0:22:59 > 0:23:05Bring life to the faces of chimps...

0:23:05 > 0:23:10Or take us into dystopian futures...

0:23:11 > 0:23:16There is a very clever piece of software developed in Soho.

0:23:16 > 0:23:20It's called Nuke.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22It's about mixing the real and unreal together to make them

0:23:22 > 0:23:24look like they blend together perfectly and are shot

0:23:24 > 0:23:25from the same camera.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28So while the actors play ape on the sound stage

0:23:28 > 0:23:36with special effects, the creatives are generating computer

0:23:36 > 0:23:38imagery, and they are seamlessly merged here at Foundry.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40It's actually tracking where all the pixels are going

0:23:40 > 0:23:44in the image, the movement.

0:23:44 > 0:23:50Clever. So your computer at this point has built itself a camera?A

0:23:50 > 0:23:53virtual camera, yes, following the path of that image over the

0:23:53 > 0:24:00sequence.You have drawn it as an old-fashioned camera as well, a nod

0:24:00 > 0:24:01to the old days. LAUGHTER

0:24:01 > 0:24:07In this year's Oscars, they can't lose. Every nominee in the Visual

0:24:07 > 0:24:11Effects category has used their software. They have been behind win

0:24:11 > 0:24:15every year for the past decade in fact, but you will never see them

0:24:15 > 0:24:19upon the dazzling Oscar stage.We get recognised, but not in that way.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23We work on the tools, the software, the solutions, to help them bring

0:24:23 > 0:24:30that magic to the screen, but we are absolutely in the background.They

0:24:30 > 0:24:35got this Academy Park last weekend. For the science bit, there is a

0:24:35 > 0:24:42separate ceremony. -- Academy plaque. Once in an office above a

0:24:42 > 0:24:49chicken shop, Foundry now uses 3000 people worldwide and they will be

0:24:49 > 0:24:51come February the 4th behind another

0:24:51 > 0:24:54Lovely today, what has the weekend got in store for us?

0:24:54 > 0:24:57Nick Miller.

0:24:57 > 0:24:58Friday sunshine normally

0:24:58 > 0:25:01Friday sunshine normally puts a kiss of death on the weekend, but we will

0:25:01 > 0:25:10have some sunshine tomorrow. Not as much as this, this skies above

0:25:10 > 0:25:14Esher. Some cloud coming into the UK at the moment which will turn things

0:25:14 > 0:25:17wetter overnight, and although we will see some cloud in our skies, as

0:25:17 > 0:25:21the night goes on there. A few holes in that cloud allowing temperatures

0:25:21 > 0:25:26to dip away for a touch of frost. Focusing on are part of the world

0:25:26 > 0:25:29ahead of that system, then again some cloud drifting through the

0:25:29 > 0:25:32skies of temperatures not in as much of a hurry to drop down as they were

0:25:32 > 0:25:41yesterday evening but they are still expected to fall close to freezing,

0:25:41 > 0:25:43perhaps a little below in some parts, so still a touch of frost

0:25:43 > 0:25:45going into tomorrow morning, just not as cold as it was this morning.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48Tomorrow morning there will be some sunshine around and there will

0:25:48 > 0:25:52continue to be some sunny spells for much of the day. More in the wake of

0:25:52 > 0:25:56patchy cloud here and there, and I think we will see that into the

0:25:56 > 0:25:59evening, but after the chilly start it would be pleasant again, the eyes

0:25:59 > 0:26:09of around 8-10 or even 11 Celsius. Into the evening cloud increasing

0:26:09 > 0:26:13and there may be a light shower moving through but it is more likely

0:26:13 > 0:26:17to stay dry. Once that has gone later tomorrow night there will

0:26:17 > 0:26:20still be a touch of frost, but this is the second part of the weekend on

0:26:20 > 0:26:25Sunday, a whole different story. The cloud and rain I was talking about

0:26:25 > 0:26:29for Sunday night looks to be an earlier. If you were with us

0:26:29 > 0:26:32yesterday it looks to be an earlier for Sunday but through the afternoon

0:26:32 > 0:26:37we will see some outbreaks of rain moving this way, so increasingly

0:26:37 > 0:26:40dull and damp, but it will not be particularly chilly over the course

0:26:40 > 0:26:46of the weekend. That takes us on to next week. What we can expect,

0:26:46 > 0:26:49cloudy and damp start, fairly mild on Monday but you will notice

0:26:49 > 0:26:52looking at this forecast the temperatures are dipping away and

0:26:52 > 0:26:56the wind turning to an easterly as well. We are expecting cold weather

0:26:56 > 0:27:05to come back our way. Get us to next week, is just look at the weekend.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07And enjoy it. Thank you, Nick.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10Now the main headlines.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13The head of Oxfam has asked an independent commission to deal with

0:27:13 > 0:27:23claims of abuse from its staff. And more vigils are being held across

0:27:23 > 0:27:27Florida, was last night thousands attending a candlelit vigil with

0:27:27 > 0:27:33many calling for tougher gun controls. A dramatic decrease in

0:27:33 > 0:27:42young people buying their own homes across the UK in a report. And I

0:27:42 > 0:27:46will be back later with the ten o'clock News. But for now, from all

0:27:46 > 0:27:47of the team,
