0:00:00 > 0:00:06winds, perhaps bringing snow showers as we head towards the weekend.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Tonight on BBC London News:
0:00:08 > 0:00:09Revelations from inside our worst jails.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11One serving officer tells us - anonymously -
0:00:11 > 0:00:15she's works in a state of fear.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18What if you're the one that gets attacked that day and you can't get
0:00:18 > 0:00:19a whistle to your mouth?
0:00:19 > 0:00:21You better hope those prisoners like you,
0:00:21 > 0:00:23because they will be the ones saving your life.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26We'll investigate just why prisons in the capital
0:00:26 > 0:00:27are struggling to retain staff.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Also ahead:
0:00:29 > 0:00:35Following claims of sexual harrassment at
0:00:35 > 0:00:36The Presidents Club dinner.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37Great Ormond Street Hospital reconsiders it's position
0:00:37 > 0:00:41on returning thousands in donations.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Plus exactly three months until Harry and Meghan tie the knot -
0:00:44 > 0:00:47how some Windsor residents are cashing in on the Royal
0:00:47 > 0:00:48wedding by moving out.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51And:
0:00:51 > 0:00:55What is it? I need to go away for a while.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56From acting to activist...
0:00:56 > 0:01:02Jennifer Lawrence tells us why she's preparing for a career break.
0:01:09 > 0:01:16Good evening and welcome to the programme with me Riz Lateef.
0:01:16 > 0:01:28We start tonight with the state of some of London's worst prisons.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40A serving officer has told this programme that she regularly fears
0:01:40 > 0:01:42for her life whilst at work.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44And a campaigner says the situation is as bad as she's
0:01:44 > 0:01:45seen in thirty years.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47The claims come amid concerns about a recruitment crisis
0:01:47 > 0:01:48across London's prisons.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51As Caroline Davies reports the service is failing
0:01:51 > 0:01:51to recruit new officers.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Caroline Davies reports.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Violence, drugs, drones, self harm, suicide and even murders. This is
0:01:55 > 0:01:57the state of London's prisons, and according to some critics, the lack
0:01:57 > 0:02:00of staff is making it worse.I've been working at prisons more than 30
0:02:00 > 0:02:03years and I have never seen them in such a terrible state. It is very
0:02:03 > 0:02:05bad for prisoners and the public because it means the prisoners are
0:02:05 > 0:02:09locked up all day and dumped back on the street angry and bitter and more
0:02:09 > 0:02:12likely to commit another crime.At the end of 2016, the government said
0:02:12 > 0:02:17it would recruit an extra 2500 prison officers across England and
0:02:17 > 0:02:23Wales. So how many new officers have been recruited across London's eight
0:02:23 > 0:02:28prisons? There has been a net gain of only 22.I really enjoyed it when
0:02:28 > 0:02:32I first started, I loved the bars that then it rapidly changed.This
0:02:32 > 0:02:36woman is an officer in London prison. We have concealed her
0:02:36 > 0:02:40identity and dumped her voice to protect her.There are no staff any
0:02:40 > 0:02:43more, they come in but as quickly as they do, people are leaving. There
0:02:43 > 0:02:46are people who have been there 15 years and remember when there were
0:02:46 > 0:02:51four officers on a landing and now there is only one.What is it like
0:02:51 > 0:02:55when you're just the one person?You get worried because what if you the
0:02:55 > 0:02:58one that had attacked that day and you can't get a whistle to your
0:02:58 > 0:03:00mouth. You better hope those prisoners like you because they will
0:03:00 > 0:03:05be the ones saving your life.People will be shocked to hear you rely on
0:03:05 > 0:03:09the prisoners to keep you safe?It is the truth, because there is no
0:03:09 > 0:03:13one with you on the landing you have to rely on prisoners.What did the
0:03:13 > 0:03:18Ministry of Justice's figures say about the figures in London? There
0:03:18 > 0:03:21might be 22 more officers across London overall but some prisons have
0:03:21 > 0:03:24even fewer staff than before the government started this recruitment
0:03:24 > 0:03:30drive. Garmash prison has 22 fewer officers, Pentonville 20 and
0:03:30 > 0:03:36Wormwood Scrubs 15. The prison service recruited just over 4500 new
0:03:36 > 0:03:41officers across England and Wales last year but they also lost nearly
0:03:41 > 0:03:472000. And almost 500 of those were in their first year in a prison.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52Rachel used to be a prison officer in London but after less than 18
0:03:52 > 0:03:56months, she quipped. She said there was little time for rehabilitation.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Quite a lot of them are only young and they are coming in and being
0:03:59 > 0:04:03thrown into prison, rightfully so, but they are being put into a cell
0:04:03 > 0:04:07and locked away for three days straight. I was the one giving them
0:04:07 > 0:04:10the phone calls and letting them out to have a phone call and letting
0:04:10 > 0:04:14them out to have a shower. That to me is basic humanity, and they can't
0:04:14 > 0:04:18even get that because of a lack of staff.So what would make a
0:04:18 > 0:04:23difference to those still working in London's prisons?Staff, to begin
0:04:23 > 0:04:27with anyway. I think I would feel more secure if there was more staff.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32Both sides are clear what's needed but while staff are leaving because
0:04:32 > 0:04:35of staff shortages, the prison system in London seems stuck in a
0:04:35 > 0:04:38vicious circle.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Caroline's here - what is the Ministry
0:04:40 > 0:04:45of Justice saying about this?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48They say they are on track to recruit those extra 2500 we heard
0:04:48 > 0:04:52about in the report and the Justice Secretary David Gauke says he's
0:04:52 > 0:04:55determined to tackle the issue imprisons head on. He calls staffing
0:04:55 > 0:05:01golden thread that links solutions we need to put in place. Clearly he
0:05:01 > 0:05:03understands is a very important issue. That doesn't seem to be the
0:05:03 > 0:05:08issue. The issue is how do you keep those people in the chops want to
0:05:08 > 0:05:11have recruited them? We understand the government are launching a
0:05:11 > 0:05:16retention programme, to try and help prison governors to keep their
0:05:16 > 0:05:20experienced staff in the prisons, alongside new recruits.We know new
0:05:20 > 0:05:24people are being recruited. How significant is it that people are
0:05:24 > 0:05:27leaving?The issue really is about experience. At the moment according
0:05:27 > 0:05:33to those figures, in December 2000 36% of those prison officers had
0:05:33 > 0:05:37been in the prison job for under five years. So losing a lot of
0:05:37 > 0:05:42people with a lot of experience. The concern there is if you lose that
0:05:42 > 0:05:46experience, you won't get it back, it takes awhile to regain it.OK
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Caroline, thank you much.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Plenty more ahead this evening including:
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Why commuters might not be rushing for a seat,
0:05:53 > 0:05:58as passengers complain about comfort on a new fleet of trains.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity has indicated
0:06:08 > 0:06:10that it may change its mind about returning donations
0:06:10 > 0:06:13to the controversial Presidents Club trust.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15The Charity said it would hand back money previously given
0:06:15 > 0:06:17following allegations of sexual harassment at an exclusive
0:06:17 > 0:06:23men-only dinner.
0:06:23 > 0:06:29Let's get more from Alpa Patel, who's at the hospital.
0:06:29 > 0:06:35The amount of money we are talking about here is £530,000. It is a
0:06:35 > 0:06:39substantial amount for an organisation like Great Ormond
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Street Hospital's children's Charity no the reason why they are
0:06:43 > 0:06:48considering handing the money back. The money is from the Presidents
0:06:48 > 0:06:53Club and was thrust into the spotlight of course last month when
0:06:53 > 0:06:57two undercover financial Times journalist went to a male only gala
0:06:57 > 0:07:01dinner at the Dorchester Hotel and there they said they saw women who
0:07:01 > 0:07:06were working at this event were being groped and sexually harassed.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11A day after those revelations in the Financial Times, Great Ormond Street
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Hospital was handing back every single penny. It said it was because
0:07:15 > 0:07:20it was due to the wholly unacceptable nature of the event.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24But today, almost a month on from that decision, it appears to have
0:07:24 > 0:07:30had this change of heart. It says "Guiding all our thinking is our
0:07:30 > 0:07:34aim, to maximise the support of the hospital on the families it cares
0:07:34 > 0:07:39for. We can confirm that we are in discussions with the Charity
0:07:39 > 0:07:44commission and our schedule to meet them later this week." The
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Presidents Club has closed down, so if the hospital did decide to hand
0:07:47 > 0:07:51this money back, who it would hand it back to it up in the air. A final
0:07:51 > 0:07:57decision will be made next month. With the latest from Greg Norman to
0:07:57 > 0:07:59it, thank you.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00A judge has banned protestors from campaigning
0:08:00 > 0:08:03in a west London woodland in opposition to HS2.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Today an injunction was imposed at the High Court preventing
0:08:05 > 0:08:07unlawful protest in and around a construction site in Hillingdon.
0:08:07 > 0:08:15The case was brought by the Tranpsort Secretary Chris Grayling.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21Next this evening...
0:08:21 > 0:08:24While some rush hour commuters can only dream of ever getting a seat -
0:08:24 > 0:08:27the ones that do are complaining about levels of comfort
0:08:27 > 0:08:28on some new trains.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Calling the seats 'ironing boards' or being made of concrete.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Thameslink, one of the companies singled out for criticism,
0:08:32 > 0:08:35says the new design complies with strict fire safety regulations.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37But one Osteopath says there may be cause for concern.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Here's our Transport Correspondent Tom Edwards.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45These new Class 700 trains are spacious and airy,
0:08:45 > 0:08:50but as well as having fewer seats, some commuters think
0:08:50 > 0:08:53the cushioning is like concrete.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56On this service this morning to St Albans,
0:08:56 > 0:09:01mainly uncomfortable agreement.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02It's really uncomfortable, it's ridiculous.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04I can't believe this is a new train.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05There's not much legroom.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Yeah.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10And the backs are a bit narrow for my liking.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11If you're sitting next to a stranger especially.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Then you're practically on top of them, yeah.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Do you find them hard, the seats?
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Very hard.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17As you can see.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Soft seats, in my country the seats is really different,
0:09:21 > 0:09:24we don't have like these things, the blue ones, so for me
0:09:24 > 0:09:29it's great, I like it.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Complaints about train seats aren't new.
0:09:32 > 0:09:41The latest trains on Great Western have also drawn criticism.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42These trains on the Thameslink Bedford to Brighton route
0:09:42 > 0:09:44are now being rolled out on the Great Northern
0:09:44 > 0:09:45to Peterborough.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Then I'd like you to lift your buttocks upwards, just slowly.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50At this clinic in Maidenhead, they're used to treating
0:09:50 > 0:09:52commuters' aches and pains.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55They say, over time, new harder seats could make matters worse.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59The thing is, people's bodies don't adapt that easily.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01I mean they're actually, if you think about it,
0:10:01 > 0:10:06often sitting in an office, at an office desk all day.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08They may be using a computer all day.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10They may try and take exercise breaks, but fundamentally,
0:10:10 > 0:10:13if their commute is uncomfortable on a hard seat as well,
0:10:13 > 0:10:15it's just adding more insult to injury, in a sense.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19The train companies say these seats have to meet the strict criteria set
0:10:19 > 0:10:22by the Department for Transport, and that means they have to meet
0:10:22 > 0:10:26strict fire regulations and be graffiti proof.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31But others say what this is really about is cost-cutting.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34We will shortly be arriving at Three Bridges.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Passengers have also complained about a lack of legroom,
0:10:38 > 0:10:41and with no plans to change the cushioning, commuters will have
0:10:41 > 0:10:44to get used to seats that one compared to an ironing board.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Tom Edwards, BBC London News.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54News that the Jamie Oliver is selling his two London
0:10:54 > 0:10:56steakhouses has shone a light on the challenges facing
0:10:56 > 0:10:58restaurateurs more widely in the capital.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03The TV chef is not alone in having to cut costs,
0:11:03 > 0:11:07with others in London claiming that high rents and business rates
0:11:07 > 0:11:10are forcing them to take drastic measures or also face closure.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Chris Rogers reports.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Business has been good for the owners of this restaurant in Hackney
0:11:18 > 0:11:23but they are closing the restaurant next week. Despite all the hard work
0:11:23 > 0:11:27and awards, the rising costs of rent and rates mean they need to start
0:11:27 > 0:11:31again, with a new name and the cheaper location of Shoreditch but
0:11:31 > 0:11:37it comes at the cost of their Michelin star.Frankly, the rents in
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Shoreditch are cheaper for us, so straightaway that is the reality of
0:11:40 > 0:11:46what we are doing. As much as I love this neighbourhood, I think it's a
0:11:46 > 0:11:52business and we've got to do what's right.They used to be a saying...
0:11:52 > 0:11:57One restaurant opens, and one closes every 24 hours. That is not the case
0:11:57 > 0:12:02now. This is the latest London restaurant to shut just in the last
0:12:02 > 0:12:08few days, yet it isn't won a host of awards, look at this. So what is
0:12:08 > 0:12:11going on? One of the main issues is there are simply too many
0:12:11 > 0:12:15restaurants. Dozens are closing and opening all the time. Add to that
0:12:15 > 0:12:21the rising cost of food, the higher minimum wage, week pound and Brexit
0:12:21 > 0:12:25and you have the perfect storm according to this restaurant owner
0:12:25 > 0:12:29and consultant.There is a shrinking labour market because of issues with
0:12:29 > 0:12:36Brexit and people not coming to the UK, it is harder to employ. A lot of
0:12:36 > 0:12:38the key positions, more senior positions, having to pay way over
0:12:38 > 0:12:44the odds to get people. It is just a real struggle.The bite of rising
0:12:44 > 0:12:47costs is also felt by some of the big chains, among them chef Jamie
0:12:47 > 0:12:52Oliver. He is closing some of his restaurants. His steakhouse in
0:12:52 > 0:12:58Piccadilly was closed today. While burger chain by Ronnie is to close
0:12:58 > 0:13:01up to 20 restaurants. Announcements like that are bound to shake the
0:13:01 > 0:13:05confidence of the smaller London Independents.I'm not going to tell
0:13:05 > 0:13:11anyone not to open a restaurant, but, you know, there is only so much
0:13:11 > 0:13:14business out there and only so much money to be had. I think this will
0:13:14 > 0:13:21be a bloodbath, frankly, this year. And that's always a necessary part
0:13:21 > 0:13:26of the cycle of life.Some analysts say the winners will be bit cheaper
0:13:26 > 0:13:30home delivery companies. A little far-fetched perhaps, but as rising
0:13:30 > 0:13:36rents cause restaurants to raise their menu Costil close, the likes
0:13:36 > 0:13:44of delivery route may be onto something. -- the likes of Deliveroo
0:13:44 > 0:13:46might be onto something.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Get rid of the NO Ball game signs, give young people a say
0:13:49 > 0:13:50in housing developments...
0:13:50 > 0:13:52And offer them all 100 hours of work experience.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Those are just a few of the suggestions from a new report
0:13:55 > 0:13:58for Islington Council launched this morning in its bid to put children
0:13:58 > 0:14:00at the heart of decision making in the borough.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Here's our Political Correspondent Karl Mercer.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04# Sometimes, I get a feeling...#
0:14:04 > 0:14:08At 14, Keji can hold a tune.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Performing for political leaders today, but should
0:14:11 > 0:14:13she also be telling them what she wants her local
0:14:13 > 0:14:16area to look like?
0:14:16 > 0:14:21Her local council thinks people like Keji should be more involved.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25A report it commission recommended all under 18s should get 100
0:14:25 > 0:14:28hours of work experience, that things like no ball games signs
0:14:28 > 0:14:31should be taken down and that young people should be consulted on big
0:14:31 > 0:14:33building projects in their area.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36How are you going to get it so we get the 100
0:14:36 > 0:14:37hours work experience?
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Will we be given it in school or do will we have to go out and find it?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Will you put pressure on schools in order for them to teach
0:14:44 > 0:14:47during lessons and during school time on how to manage
0:14:47 > 0:14:48their money and understanding the political system?
0:14:48 > 0:14:55What actions do you expect the local organisations to take
0:14:55 > 0:14:58so that the Islington guarantee for young people is put into place?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01I'd like to know how you plan to make use of the spaces around
0:15:01 > 0:15:02the Islington community?
0:15:02 > 0:15:05The report author, The Voice winner and former pupil here,
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Jermain Jackman, says he hopes there will be action
0:15:07 > 0:15:10and not just words.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13It's happened time and again, where people come to the community
0:15:13 > 0:15:15and want to do something and then they go.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18I said, you know what, this is not a PR ploy,
0:15:18 > 0:15:22we're not going to use this to try to win votes or anything,
0:15:22 > 0:15:24we want to really make change in our community,
0:15:24 > 0:15:27we want to involve children and young people in the process,
0:15:27 > 0:15:31and everyone knows how difficult I am.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34I told the council, I told people, I made a promise to people that
0:15:34 > 0:15:35I'm serious about this.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39I think there will be a bit of a row when we suggest taking down the no
0:15:39 > 0:15:42ball signs but it's a row worth having, because we need to say
0:15:42 > 0:15:46to young people that this borough, this city belongs to them and it's
0:15:46 > 0:15:48about their future and we need to put ourselves firmly on their side.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52The words are done, the song has been sung, the hardest part -
0:15:52 > 0:15:55delivering on those promises - that is yet to come.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Karl Mercer, BBC London News.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11The moment of Tom Parsons' sporting career.Great Britain's first
0:16:11 > 0:16:13medal...
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Super Saturday for some and a miserable Monday for others...
0:16:15 > 0:16:18The highs and lows of the capital's athletes at the Winter Games.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Now, in exactly three months' time, there's the small matter...
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Of a rather big wedding taking place in Windsor.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30While thousands will descend on the town as Prince Harry
0:16:30 > 0:16:34and Meghan Markle tie the knot, some residents are moving out,
0:16:34 > 0:16:38not least to make way for the magnitude of the media moving in.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Sarah Harris has more.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Harry and Meghan have been coming here since they started dating.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47This romantic little getaway outside of London...
0:16:47 > 0:16:50The countdown is on in the USA to the royal wedding
0:16:50 > 0:16:53featuring their girl, Meghan Markle.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57With the modern couple already living and carrying out
0:16:57 > 0:17:03engagements together, interest in the May nuptials
0:17:03 > 0:17:06is already at fever pitch across the Atlantic.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Kate Wickers lives on Kings Road in Windsor, where the wedding
0:17:10 > 0:17:13carriage will process after the ceremony.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16With unparalleled views and some neighbours being offered six-figure
0:17:16 > 0:17:19sums for their properties to move out during the week of the wedding,
0:17:19 > 0:17:22she is negotiating big bucks for hers.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Well, it's a little bit strange.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29We got back from a few days away, and there was a letter
0:17:29 > 0:17:32from NBC waiting for us, saying, we'd be interested
0:17:32 > 0:17:37in renting your house, and particularly the garden outside,
0:17:37 > 0:17:41and so I called them straightaway, and they were
0:17:41 > 0:17:44here within 30 minutes.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47I felt like they were probably in the hotel opposite waiting for us.
0:17:47 > 0:17:53And crawled up on the roof, took pictures from various windows,
0:17:53 > 0:17:55and said that they would be talking to New York.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Just a quick look online at the home rental site,
0:17:58 > 0:18:03you can see there's an awful lot of people living in and around
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Windsor who are prepared to move out during that wedding week so that
0:18:06 > 0:18:08royal American fans can move in.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11And you can see why this is such a big deal to Americans.
0:18:11 > 0:18:16Not only have you got the history of Windsor and the castle
0:18:16 > 0:18:19and the Royal Family, but also you've got Meghan Markle.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22She is not only American, but she's already a big TV
0:18:22 > 0:18:24star in her own right.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26The small rooms above the Horse and Groom pub
0:18:26 > 0:18:27overlook the castle gates.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30American TV giants have already signed them up for the wedding week.
0:18:30 > 0:18:36It's understood the asking price was around £100,000.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38This is really popular with Americans because
0:18:38 > 0:18:41of the vantage point, and all of the history
0:18:41 > 0:18:43there is with this old pub, and it's a great vantage point,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46because you'll be able to see the royal wedding coming down.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48For Windsor, the town itself, the interest
0:18:48 > 0:18:51from across the pond is welcome.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53It's hoped it will encourage US tourists to keep coming back.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58The Americans have not been coming in their numbers
0:18:58 > 0:19:00for a number of years, and of course, that
0:19:01 > 0:19:04will reverse that trend.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07There will be, I expect, a lot of Americans coming to town.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10I understand that all of the hotel rooms are booked now.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13And that you can't get a room in town.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17You can still get places out of town, but it's going to be a huge
0:19:18 > 0:19:21increase in footfall.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Negotiations are far from complete with three months to go,
0:19:24 > 0:19:27but vantage points for the Royal wave are selling out fast,
0:19:27 > 0:19:30with the Americans, it appears, prepared to pay the most
0:19:30 > 0:19:32for the best views in town.
0:19:32 > 0:19:38Sarah Harris, BBC London News, Windsor.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40To the drama now of the Winter Olympics -
0:19:40 > 0:19:43and how a Londoner clinched the first medal for
0:19:43 > 0:19:44Britain in South Korea.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47There have been mixed fortunes on the snow and ice
0:19:47 > 0:19:49for the capital's athletes, as Ena Miller can tell us from
0:19:49 > 0:19:56the Snow Centre Hemel Hempstead.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01The weekend has been a mix of highs and lows for Team GB in South Korea,
0:20:01 > 0:20:07but it's great news for the Londoners Tom Parsons -- Tom
0:20:07 > 0:20:14Parsons, who won a bronze medal in the skeleton event. A British man
0:20:14 > 0:20:23hasn't won a medal in that event for many years. And there is the drawing
0:20:23 > 0:20:27of Penny Coomes, whose career everyone thought was over when she
0:20:27 > 0:20:31shattered kneecap 15 months ago. This weekend, she and her partner
0:20:31 > 0:20:36Nick Butland have made it through to the ice dance final, which is
0:20:36 > 0:20:42tomorrow. Then Aimee Fuller, a 26-year-old snowboarder who grew up
0:20:42 > 0:20:47near Bromley. There was hope she would play is far higher in the big
0:20:47 > 0:20:51air event, but she did not manage to do a clear jump on her first
0:20:51 > 0:20:56attempt, and in her second she crashed out. She said she is gutted,
0:20:56 > 0:21:02and tweeted pictures of the bruises on her face. The UK isn't known for
0:21:02 > 0:21:06its Alpine resort facilities. How do youngsters learning and practising
0:21:06 > 0:21:12here get inspired to eventually aim for something like the Winter
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Olympics? I have the managing director of the centre. How do you
0:21:15 > 0:21:19encourage these kids?We have kids coming from all over London to hear
0:21:19 > 0:21:23and other facilities around the area. Whether you come with the
0:21:23 > 0:21:29School or your parents, there's all number of facilities. Whether you
0:21:29 > 0:21:33are skiing or snowboarding, whether you wish to go into freestyle or
0:21:33 > 0:21:37race, there's opportunities for everyone. There's a sponsored
0:21:37 > 0:21:42programmes where kids can move up to more elite level.You make it sound
0:21:42 > 0:21:49quite easy. Is it as easy as that, because everything isn't close to
0:21:49 > 0:21:55hand?Like any sport, if you learn the basics and have instructors that
0:21:55 > 0:22:01can inspire them and engage them... Like any sport, once you get into
0:22:01 > 0:22:06it, it takes dedication and time to get up to the next level.Thank you
0:22:06 > 0:22:10very much. I'm going to stay here and see what other people are
0:22:10 > 0:22:14getting up to. There's a lot more events happening over the next few
0:22:14 > 0:22:23weeks at the Olympics.
0:22:23 > 0:22:31The stars were out for the Baftas last night. Most of the guests
0:22:31 > 0:22:35attending the event wore black in support of the time is up and me to
0:22:35 > 0:22:44campaign against sexual harassment. Black dresses on the red carpet, all
0:22:44 > 0:22:48part of the ongoing times up campaign, aimed at fair treatment
0:22:48 > 0:22:55for women. Two of the original Dagenham girls, whose 1968 strike
0:22:55 > 0:23:00action at Ford led to the equal pay act, were there to.We thought
0:23:00 > 0:23:04everybody would have got their rights by now, but unfortunately it
0:23:04 > 0:23:18hasn't been like that.The night's big winner, three billboards, and
0:23:18 > 0:23:26its star won best actress, Francis McDormand.I stand in full
0:23:26 > 0:23:31solidarity with my sisters tonight in the black. Power to the people.
0:23:31 > 0:23:36The movie, which won a total of five Baftas, including best film, has
0:23:36 > 0:23:42struck a chord with audiences around the world.Hey, there, Mildred. Did
0:23:42 > 0:23:49you pay a visit to the dentist today?No.Best actor went to Gary
0:23:49 > 0:23:57Oldman, who played Winston Churchill in the World War II drama, Darkest
0:23:57 > 0:24:03Hour. He paid tribute to his female co-stars.I love you. You have a
0:24:03 > 0:24:11single vision and a full heart. They were on display here. It best
0:24:11 > 0:24:15director was won for the shape of water, starring Sally Hawkins as a
0:24:15 > 0:24:20woman in love with a mysterious water creature. And the winner of
0:24:20 > 0:24:25the rising star award was from Britain. He paid tribute to one
0:24:25 > 0:24:31particular woman.I would like to thank my mum. Mum, you're the reason
0:24:31 > 0:24:35why I started, the reason why I'm here, and the reason why I keep
0:24:35 > 0:24:40going.For the past three years, the Baftas and the Oscars haven't agreed
0:24:40 > 0:24:47on Best picture, but this 2018 Oscar race is the most open in years, and
0:24:47 > 0:24:51with voting starting on the other side of the Atlantic on Tuesday,
0:24:51 > 0:24:56many will be saying that three billboards' performance tonight
0:24:56 > 0:25:04might give it the edge at the Academy Awards in March.
0:25:04 > 0:25:10Before we go to the weather, we were hoping to speak to Jennifer Lawrence
0:25:10 > 0:25:13on the red carpet, but she hasn't turned up yet. But what we have got
0:25:13 > 0:25:20for you, is the weather. After a mild and sunny weekend, I'm not sure
0:25:20 > 0:25:22what has happened!
0:25:26 > 0:25:31We had a lot of cloud and rain on and off through the afternoon.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35Unfortunately, it looks as though tomorrow is going to be the same.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39But beyond that, from Wednesday onwards, it looks like the weather
0:25:39 > 0:25:45is going to improve a little bit. Whether from pretty much installed
0:25:45 > 0:25:51across eastern parts of the UK. This is where it is right now. It will be
0:25:51 > 0:25:56so slow to clear away from our part of the world. It is clear parts of
0:25:56 > 0:26:02this evening and overnight. A pretty gloomy, drizzly, rainy night on the
0:26:02 > 0:26:07way. Very mild out there. If you are an early shift start, temperatures
0:26:07 > 0:26:14first thing will be around 8 degrees. Tomorrow's weather, a few
0:26:14 > 0:26:17glimmers of brightness towards the north-west, perhaps in High Wycombe,
0:26:17 > 0:26:24but spells of rain through the day. Tomorrow is not going to be
0:26:24 > 0:26:28uniformly grey and cloudy, as there will be glimmers of brightness every
0:26:28 > 0:26:33now and again. Wednesday looking a lot better, a lot brighter, with
0:26:33 > 0:26:37some hazy skies. The winds are starting to shift direction, which
0:26:37 > 0:26:42is a hint of things to come over the next few days. Temperatures are
0:26:42 > 0:26:49still around seven to 9 degrees on Wednesday, but because of this area
0:26:49 > 0:26:57of high pressure, we will start to see this high-pressure extending.
0:26:57 > 0:27:03Looks like we could get some Siberian air coming our way. Those
0:27:03 > 0:27:08temperatures dropping through the rest of the week, the weekend and
0:27:08 > 0:27:13into next week. By the time we get into Wednesday, it could be barely
0:27:13 > 0:27:17above freezing, so cold weather rather than spring on the way. Back
0:27:17 > 0:27:21to you.
0:27:21 > 0:27:29Thank you very much. A Cambridge graduate, said to be one of
0:27:29 > 0:27:38Britain's most prolific paedophiles, has been sentenced to 32 years in
0:27:38 > 0:27:46prison. Get in touch via our Facebook page and on Twitter. Have a
0:27:46 > 0:27:48lovely evening.
