officer taken ill after heaping the

former Russian spy

0:00:000:00:10

Coming up on BBC London News...

0:00:100:00:12

We hear from the parents

of a severely disabled baby boy

0:00:120:00:14

who's died after his life support

was withdrawn against their wishes,

0:00:140:00:17

after long legal battle.

0:00:170:00:18

Right now, all I can feel is pure

anger. All I know is justice was

0:00:180:00:24

served at all.

-- was not served.

0:00:240:00:31

Medical staff say their thoughts

are with the parents.

0:00:310:00:33

Also tonight...

0:00:330:00:35

Putting their lives at risk -

a mother's warning

0:00:350:00:37

against an online craze that

saw her son putting himself

0:00:370:00:39

in the path of oncoming traffic.

0:00:390:00:40

Plus, the oil slick

which threatened wildlife

0:00:400:00:42

on a stretch of the River Lea.

0:00:420:00:44

Now the Government reveals it knows

who was responsible.

0:00:440:00:46

And, on International Women's Day,

we're on the beat

0:00:460:00:48

with head of the Met.

0:00:480:00:57

-- with the first

female head of the Met.

0:00:570:00:59

She tells us what her late mum

would have thought of her becoming

0:00:590:01:02

the first female commissioner.

0:01:020:01:03

I think she would have laughed and

been amazed that her little girl had

0:01:030:01:06

gone on to do this.

0:01:060:01:12

A very warm welcome

to the programme.

0:01:120:01:15

The parents of a severely

disabled baby -

0:01:150:01:18

who fought against London doctors

over the decision to

0:01:180:01:21

withdraw his treatment -

have paid an emotional tribute

0:01:210:01:23

to their "brave little boy

who fought all the way".

0:01:230:01:28

One-year-old Isaiah Haastrup passed

away hours after being

0:01:280:01:30

removed from life support.

0:01:300:01:33

It was switched off

after his parents lost

0:01:330:01:35

a long-running legal battle.

0:01:350:01:36

They told us, they are heartbroken,

as they shared photos of their final

0:01:360:01:39

moments with their son.

0:01:390:01:41

Marc Ashdown reports.

0:01:410:01:51

Isaiah Haastrup's short life came

to a tragic end yesterday evening.

0:01:520:01:54

While he's been fighting to live,

his parents have been

0:01:540:01:57

fighting his hospital,

determined he should be given

0:01:570:01:58

every chance to survive.

0:01:590:02:00

He had a little

cheekiness about him.

0:02:000:02:05

Especially when you come

beside him and call his name,

0:02:050:02:15

when you open his eyes and stuff

and turn his head towards you.

0:02:160:02:19

That I'm going to miss, but,

right now, all I can feel

0:02:190:02:22

is just pure anger and...

0:02:220:02:27

All I know is justice

was not served at all.

0:02:270:02:30

Isaiah was born at Kings College

Hospital last February.

0:02:300:02:32

He suffered catastrophic

brain damage.

0:02:320:02:35

After an investigation,

Kings eventually apologised

0:02:350:02:36

for mistakes doctors made that day.

0:02:360:02:42

His parents originally

accepted his prognosis but in April

0:02:420:02:45

they saw signs of life and disagreed

he should simply be allowed to die.

0:02:450:02:49

The hospital went to the High Court

to seek legal backing.

0:02:490:02:54

In November, a judge

agreed to a second opinion

0:02:540:02:58

from an independent expert.

0:02:580:03:03

In January the court ruled life

0:03:030:03:05

support could be removed.

0:03:050:03:09

After the parents' appeals to UK

0:03:090:03:13

and European courts failed,

yesterday, medical support

0:03:130:03:15

was removed and Isaiah passed away.

0:03:150:03:16

Kings told us they have always

actively sought to involve Isaiah's

0:03:160:03:19

parents in his care and have always

acted in his best interests.

0:03:190:03:22

They say the decision to apply

to the courts to remove

0:03:220:03:24

treatment was only taken

after careful consideration.

0:03:240:03:26

The parents still feel let down.

0:03:260:03:27

They say in court the doctors

claimed Isaiah could only breed

0:03:270:03:37

-- breathe for a few minutes unaided

- he actually survived

0:03:370:03:39

yesterday for seven hours.

0:03:390:03:40

They'd always argued he'd

have a chance of living

0:03:400:03:42

if he was weaned slowly

off life support.

0:03:420:03:44

These are Isaiah's

last precious moments.

0:03:440:03:46

Parents must be listened to more

and not just say, well,

0:03:460:03:48

the doctors have spoken and looking

at the parents from a prism of,

0:03:480:03:52

they are in grief or pain.

0:03:520:03:54

They don't know what they're doing,

they're delusional.

0:03:540:04:03

But they allowed you to

get a second opinion?

0:04:030:04:05

All the judges agreed

with the hospital.

0:04:050:04:07

The attitude of the court is,

well, we don't care.

0:04:070:04:16

They're doctors, we are not a doctor

will stop that we are the parents,

0:04:160:04:20

and we see our child.

0:04:200:04:21

We see him helpless in the bed.

0:04:210:04:22

The beauty of it is Isaiah

showed us what he can do

0:04:220:04:25

and that he wanted to live.

0:04:250:04:27

As a system we let him down again,

even at that stage.

0:04:270:04:30

I think we need to review our system

and save more kids.

0:04:300:04:34

Kings maintained it was always

impossible to predict how long

0:04:340:04:37

Isaiah could breathe

on his own and their priority

0:04:370:04:39

was to ensure he was

comfortable with his family.

0:04:390:04:41

We kept talking to him,

we kept singing to him,

0:04:410:04:44

to encourage him, to let him know

we were here for him.

0:04:440:04:47

And he fought,

he fought all the way.

0:04:470:04:49

And Marc, a really upsetting

story for all involved.

0:04:490:04:51

A sad and tragic end to a difficult

year. Upsetting and distressing for

0:04:510:04:56

the family but also for the hospital

staff. There are no villains will

0:04:560:05:01

stop their one set out to harm

Isaiah but there are lessons to be

0:05:010:05:05

learned. The one at the centre is

about trust. Any hospital manager

0:05:050:05:10

watching now will be concerned about

the fundamental breakdown between

0:05:100:05:14

parents and the medical experts.

Such a difficult case but not the

0:05:140:05:18

only one of its kind.

The young lady

being treated at Kings, we have

0:05:180:05:25

reported that story and also Alfie

Evans, the case is being played out

0:05:250:05:29

in Liverpool right now. What unites

them is parents are differing wildly

0:05:290:05:35

in their views of what is the best

care, challenging the view that the

0:05:350:05:41

doctor knows best. Today the parents

are saying, what if? Have we

0:05:410:05:47

received the best care? Hospitals

will want to persuade people you can

0:05:470:05:51

trust us and they will want to make

parents feel they are fully

0:05:510:05:57

involved. Sadly, more of these cases

might crop up.

Thank you.

Coming up later in the programme...

0:06:070:06:14

I am in Totten is more details

emerge of who caused the oil spill

0:06:140:06:17

which aren't wild life on this

stretch of the River Lee. --

0:06:290:06:32

A teenager has died

after being shot at a cinema

0:06:320:06:35

complex in Wood Green.

0:06:350:06:36

Armed police were on the scene last

night along with paramedics.

0:06:360:06:38

The 19-year-old was taken

to hospital but died

0:06:380:06:40

a short time later.

0:06:400:06:41

No arrests have been made.

0:06:410:06:42

Here's Alpa Patel.

0:06:420:06:43

This was the scene outside a popular

cinema in Wood Green last night.

0:06:430:06:46

Today, cordoned off, along with

several restaurants and a bus stop.

0:06:460:06:52

While forensic officers conduct a

thorough search of the area after a

0:06:520:06:57

19-year-old was shot and killed

before half-past midnight last

0:06:570:07:01

night. We met Brian Finnegan, who

was walking home shortly after the

0:07:010:07:06

shooting he told us what he saw.

Myself and two colleagues, we were

0:07:060:07:12

heading home and we actually saw the

guy. He was on the ground. There

0:07:120:07:17

were two girls and one fella. They

were trying to comfort him but, as

0:07:170:07:24

far as we know, he was already gone.

Just a terrible scene to see when

0:07:240:07:30

you are heading home.

Brian and

another witness told us they saw the

0:07:300:07:35

teenager lying on the ground inside

the doors of the cinema. We have

0:07:350:07:40

been speaking to several residents

and people who own businesses in

0:07:400:07:44

this immediate area. Most wouldn't

appear on camera out of fear of

0:07:440:07:49

being identified. What they did tell

us was about their worries of gangs

0:07:490:07:55

operating in and around this

complex. They said that stabbings,

0:07:550:07:59

and the sound of gunshots, had

become a regular occurrence around

0:07:590:08:03

here. Brian, who lives in the local

area, echoed those views.

If there

0:08:030:08:08

were less crime, no knives were no

guns, whatever, it would be a lovely

0:08:080:08:14

area.

How bad is the crime around

here?

Well, what has been

0:08:140:08:23

experienced in the last few weeks,

quite bad.

Police say they are

0:08:230:08:28

looking into whether this murder was

gang-related. They also want to

0:08:280:08:31

speak to anyone who saw two people

making off on mopeds shortly after

0:08:310:08:36

the shooting. The 19-year-old is the

second person to die from a gunshot

0:08:360:08:42

wound this year in London and the

seventh teenager to be killed on

0:08:420:08:46

London's streets will stop --

streets.

0:08:460:08:53

A man, who killed three

former partners, has

0:08:530:08:55

had his minimum sentence increased

at the Court of Appeal.

0:08:550:08:57

54-year-old Theodore Johnson

from north London, had two previous

0:08:570:09:00

convictions for manslaughter

when he was jailed for life

0:09:000:09:02

for murder in January.

0:09:020:09:03

He was ordered to serve at least

26 years behind bars

0:09:030:09:05

but three senior judges said

that the minimum tariff was too

0:09:050:09:08

lenient and it's been

increased to 30 years.

0:09:080:09:10

The Government is warning travellers

not to repeat the action

0:09:100:09:15

of some railway passengers

who walked on the tracks

0:09:150:09:17

near Lewisham station last week

when their train was stranded

0:09:170:09:20

for four hours.

0:09:200:09:21

The Southeastern service

from London Bridge to Dartford

0:09:210:09:23

stopped as engineers were unable

to move a broken down train further

0:09:230:09:26

up the line amid the snow and ice.

0:09:260:09:28

Some of the passengers forced open

the doors to escape.

0:09:280:09:38

The deputy leader of

Westminster City Council

0:09:390:09:40

has "stepped aside"

while an investigation

0:09:400:09:42

into his conduct takes place.

0:09:420:09:43

Conservative councillor Robert Davis

declared receiving more

0:09:430:09:45

than 500 gifts and hospitality over

a three-year period.

0:09:450:09:47

Last month, he referred himself

to the council's monitoring officer.

0:09:470:09:51

He strenuously denies any

wrongdoing, but the council's

0:09:510:09:52

Labour group says his

behaviour was inappropriate.

0:09:520:09:59

It will transform rail

journeys through London.

0:09:590:10:01

That's how the new

Transport Minister

0:10:010:10:04

Jo Johnson greeted plans

for new Thameslink

0:10:040:10:06

services announced today.

0:10:060:10:08

It'll mean shorter journeys

and capacity freed up on the Tube.

0:10:080:10:11

Mr Johnson, whose

surname may be familiar,

0:10:110:10:14

also recently became

Minister for London.

0:10:140:10:17

Our political editor, Tim Donovan,

joined him on his journey today.

0:10:170:10:28

Not just an opportunity to get a

different perspective but for the

0:10:280:10:31

new rail minister chance to get good

news on the trains, extra through

0:10:310:10:35

service is happening on Tenzing,

joining Cambridge and Peterborough

0:10:350:10:39

in the north to Brighton and Horsham

in the south and relieving pressure

0:10:390:10:45

on London's choopo. Yell it will

transform services. We're on a train

0:10:450:10:50

from Brighton, all the way through

London, to Cambridge was that this

0:10:500:10:54

is really transforming journeys for

people. What has happened is the

0:10:540:11:00

East Coast Main line has been joined

to Thames -- Thamelink. Thousands of

0:11:000:11:11

passengers do not have to get up at

Kings Cross and on again at London

0:11:110:11:14

Bridge.

This has opened up and

created a network of further journey

0:11:140:11:22

opportunities for passengers.

As

well as being new rail minister,

0:11:220:11:28

this visitor was also a

representative from London.

It is

0:11:280:11:41

about looking for opportunities we

have before us. We need a city

0:11:410:11:48

attracting inward investment. That

is what I want to work with as the

0:11:480:11:54

Mayor of London to achieve. The

previous mayor has a strong legacy

0:11:540:12:01

from his eight years as the Mayor of

London and we have seen in many of

0:12:010:12:05

the things around us today.

Do you

think Sadiq Khan is damaging that

0:12:050:12:14

legacy?

Here's early on in his

mayoralty and has a lot to prove.

0:12:140:12:18

What about complaints about the hard

seats on the trains?

I have been

0:12:180:12:24

sitting in it for a while but I find

it home and comfortable.

He headed

0:12:240:12:29

off, in press with what he had seen.

Passengers will find out for

0:12:290:12:33

themselves when the new services

begin in May. -- impressed.

0:12:330:12:39

The Government says a potential

source of an oil spill

0:12:390:12:41

along the River Lea in north east

London has been traced.

0:12:410:12:45

Last month plus Max Bill it is being

investigated by the Environment

0:12:450:12:49

Agency. --

0:12:490:12:53

The Environment Agency

is investigating last month's

0:12:530:12:55

spillage between Enfield and Newham.

0:12:550:12:56

Let's get more from Louisa Preston

who's on the banks of the river now.

0:12:560:12:59

Louisa...

0:12:590:13:00

the oil spillage caused chaos and

the clean-up operation is ongoing.

0:13:000:13:04

Wildlife was really badly affected.

We saw lots of pictures of swans

0:13:040:13:08

covered in black oil who had to be

rescued and then taken to local

0:13:080:13:12

sanctuaries where they were cleaned.

It caused chaos for people living on

0:13:120:13:17

the river. Basically, people living

on the river had been in lockdown

0:13:170:13:21

for the last four weeks. That is

because all of the locks on a four

0:13:210:13:26

mile stretch of this river have been

closed. That is to stop the oil

0:13:260:13:33

spill from spreading. We heard from

David Lambie he was asking the

0:13:330:13:37

environment minister in the House of

Commons as to how this could be

0:13:370:13:42

prevented from ever happening again.

Joining me now is Dick Vincent from

0:13:420:13:46

the canal and with that trust. Thank

you for joining us. David was saying

0:13:460:13:54

that the agencies have to work

together more closely. What do you

0:13:540:13:58

make of that? I would like to thank

David for raising it. It is a really

0:13:580:14:03

important issue. We need MPs and the

public to make a real change was

0:14:030:14:10

this has caused chaos and something

needs to be done.

Do you have any

0:14:100:14:15

idea as to who caused the spillage?

We do not know ourselves. We can

0:14:150:14:20

speculate. It was on an industrial

scale and has polluted four miles of

0:14:200:14:26

canals. It is a criminal act and

that is why we are pleased that

0:14:260:14:33

David has raised this. We need a

stronger deterrent to prevent this

0:14:330:14:37

kind of thing happening.

Many would

say there has to be a stronger

0:14:370:14:43

deterrent in place, maybe fines and

things, to stop this happening

0:14:430:14:46

again.

It is not for us, as the

charity that cleans up and looks

0:14:460:14:50

after the canals, to do that. We

bear the brunt. The real story, the

0:14:500:14:56

great story, is we have had help

from the local community and people

0:14:560:15:00

living on the boats to help clear up

what is a terrible thing and has

0:15:000:15:04

caused terrible damage to wildlife

in the area.

Thank you for joining

0:15:040:15:09

us. As you heard the terrible damage

to the environment. This is one of

0:15:090:15:15

the most polluted rivers in the

capital but hopefully things have

0:15:150:15:17

been done to stop this kind of thing

from happening again.

0:15:170:15:24

Still to come this

Thursday evening...

0:15:240:15:29

I was thrilled, humbled and

astonished.

A mother of a 15-year-old

who was knocked off his bike

and swerve in front of a car -

Yvonne Hall reports

from Hertfordshire.

0:16:030:16:04

This is the so-called game teenagers

are calling "swerve the car".

0:16:040:16:08

But 15-year-old Paul

Belcher pushes his

0:16:080:16:08

luck too far and doesn't

swerve in time.

0:16:080:16:10

Incredibly, Paul only suffers

bruising in the collision in

0:16:100:16:13

Hertfordshire.

0:16:130:16:16

I didn't know if he was OK,

if he was dead, if he had

0:16:160:16:20

broken any bones, if anyone

else had been there.

0:16:200:16:23

The impact of such a stupid game

could have been a loss

0:16:230:16:26

of life in so many situations.

0:16:260:16:32

For drivers, it is terrifying

and dangerous too.

0:16:320:16:36

A pregnant woman in

this car had to be

0:16:360:16:38

treated for shock.

0:16:380:16:42

This is the roundabout in

Borehamwood and a popular location

0:16:420:16:44

for teenagers playing

the so-called swerving game.

0:16:440:16:47

You can see how busy it is and how

dangerous it would be

0:16:470:16:51

to ride a bike straight

towards these vehicles.

0:16:510:16:53

But what a lot of these youngsters

probably don't realise is

0:16:530:16:56

their actions are being picked up

on the CCTV camera and it should

0:16:560:16:59

lead to prosecutions.

0:16:590:17:03

This is really dangerous,

to get as close to the

0:17:030:17:07

car as possible, usually

to intimidate the driver and it is

0:17:070:17:11

often being recorded,

because it is something

0:17:110:17:12

to put on social media

to

0:17:120:17:14

show their friends as a fun game.

0:17:140:17:18

Well, our message is

it isn't a fun game,

0:17:180:17:20

it is a dangerous game

and

0:17:200:17:25

people will end up getting

killed and injured.

0:17:250:17:27

Here a cyclist even

swerves towards a

0:17:270:17:28

police car.

0:17:280:17:29

Officers say the number of

complaints they're getting about the

0:17:290:17:32

craze is increasing.

0:17:320:17:33

They're now planning

a campaign in schools to

0:17:330:17:35

stop more teenagers risking theirs

and other people's lives.

0:17:350:17:42

Now to mark International

Women's Day -

0:17:420:17:44

this week we're getting an insight

into the some of senior

0:17:440:17:46

women who run London.

0:17:460:17:49

Yesterday, we heard from the London

Fire Commissioner Dany Cotton.

0:17:490:17:52

Today the first woman in charge

of the Met, Cressida Dick,

0:17:520:17:56

talks about advice in her early

career, the shooting of an innocent

0:17:560:18:01

man and whether the woman in charge

of the largest police force

0:18:010:18:05

in the country can ever relax.

0:18:050:18:05

I caught up with her

earlier this week.

0:18:050:18:09

What was your first thought when you

were appointed?

I was thrilled, I

0:18:090:18:17

was humbled, I was astonished and I

thought about my mum, no longer with

0:18:170:18:21

us sadly.

What would your mum have

said?

I think she would have

0:18:210:18:28

laughed. I think she would be amazed

that her little girl had you know

0:18:280:18:36

gone on to do this. How

How did you

cope in the earlies with the canteen

0:18:360:18:44

culture and the sexism in the force?

It was a different age. I loved

0:18:440:18:49

policing and I was prepared to

challenge. I stood up for what I

0:18:490:18:53

believed in. But I remember one of

my bosses saying, if you fight every

0:18:530:19:04

battle, you will get shot down and

that will be the end of you. I think

0:19:040:19:07

I learned you can't take on every

battle head on. But you should stand

0:19:070:19:12

up for yourself.

Do you ever show

vulnerability?

I heard myself saying

0:19:120:19:18

to my senior officers the other day

that we had had a terrible year and

0:19:180:19:22

I knew that some of them would be

feeling like crying and sometimes it

0:19:220:19:29

is good for a team to see a boss

making themselves vulnerable.

In

0:19:290:19:37

terms of shooting of a man, you were

cleared of any wrong doing, did you

0:19:370:19:41

ever question your judgment after

that?

I don't think you can an

0:19:410:19:48

effective operational leader if you

don't ask yourself hard questions.

0:19:480:19:52

Absolutely. Did I think that I had

made... You know fundamental error

0:19:520:19:59

of judgment in the decisions that I

made based on the information I had?

0:19:590:20:05

No I didn't. But a terrible thing

happened, an innocent man was

0:20:050:20:09

killed.

Does it ever feel like a

personal failure when you hear of

0:20:090:20:13

another stabbing?

I suppose in a

way... It does. I feel sad of course

0:20:130:20:26

for what has happened. I feel sorry

for everybody involved. And I know

0:20:260:20:34

that you know the public and the

media are kind of counting each one

0:20:340:20:38

and quite right too, because they're

all... You know cherished children.

0:20:380:20:45

Ry death is a tragedy and we should

all feel outraged by that.

What do

0:20:450:20:51

you want your legacy to be?

I want

to leave a Met that is in really

0:20:510:20:58

good slap. More importantly -- in

really good shape and I want London

0:20:580:21:03

to be seen as a safe city in which

people can see that we have taken

0:21:030:21:09

violence seriously and reduced the

most pernicious sorts of violence

0:21:090:21:13

and that we have done everything we

can to prevent attacks. The

0:21:130:21:20

terrorist threat is a generational

issue. How long have you been doing

0:21:200:21:27

this? Over a year.

Does it help your

partner was in the force and

0:21:270:21:33

understands the climate you work? .

It does in some ways, it means if I

0:21:330:21:40

need to drop everything and go and I

have to take a phone call, she does

0:21:400:21:43

get it. There might be a few down

sides as well.

Talking shop?

0:21:430:21:48

Exactly.

The nature of the job is

that you are on 24/7, 365 days a

0:21:480:21:56

year. So how on earth does the Met

commissioner relax?

I have got a

0:21:560:22:02

great team. Fantastic people. I have

always slept well and I find I eetzy

0:22:020:22:10

to relax. -- Easy to relax. Can we

imagine you putting your feet up and

0:22:100:22:15

watching a box set? Box sets might

be for retirement.

0:22:150:22:21

And tomorrow we'll hear

from the new Bishop

0:22:210:22:23

of London, Sarah Mullally -

the first woman to hold the post.

0:22:230:22:26

More on International Women's Day

on our Facebook Page.

0:22:260:22:29

Talking of positive role models -

0:22:290:22:31

how one charity is putting

its weight behind getting

0:22:310:22:33

more girls into rugby.

0:22:330:22:36

It's still seen as a male-dominated

sport but one London club

0:22:360:22:38

is helping to change that.

0:22:390:22:40

Emma Jones has the story.

0:22:400:22:48

Now then, no roughness, girls! Oh

this isn't a bargain sale. Attitudes

0:22:480:22:54

to women playing rugby have

hopefully changed a lot over the

0:22:540:22:57

years.

The London Welsh women's team

are top of their league and are keen

0:22:570:23:04

to inspire others to take up a sport

that means so much to them.

It can

0:23:040:23:11

be offputing to start a sport if you

don't think you're slinky or skinny.

0:23:110:23:17

In rugby it is about strength as

well and it can help with your

0:23:170:23:20

fitness.

Being strong, independent

women who play sport is an

0:23:200:23:27

attractive thing. It is not worrying

what other people will think about

0:23:270:23:30

you, but going for something that

feels right for you.

This season the

0:23:300:23:33

team is being sponsored by the

inspiring girls charity. Founded by

0:23:330:23:42

international lawyer Miriam Gonzalez

it aims to find role models for

0:23:420:23:48

women.

We have more men who say we

want that society with women and

0:23:480:23:55

girls feel free to play rugby and

men feel free to do caring jobs and

0:23:550:24:01

we kick out the stereotypes. It is

easier than getting the vote.

He and

0:24:010:24:13

her husband Nick Clegg know about

the challenges.

I'm optimistic. Some

0:24:130:24:23

of us who are older come to equal

opportunities through a process.

0:24:230:24:29

These people have it in their DNA.

All we have to do is not ruin it.

0:24:290:24:36

With the women's Six Nationses back

this weekend, it seems we are not

0:24:360:24:40

too short of candidates for role

models.

0:24:400:24:46

Time for a check on the weather.

0:24:460:24:47

Ben's joined us -

hard to believe now

0:24:470:24:49

what it was like this

time last week.

0:24:490:24:50

what it was like this

time last week.

0:24:500:24:53

Yes you might have struggled to

believe we could get above freezing

0:24:530:24:57

again. But wait until you see the

temperatures for the week. Certainly

0:24:570:25:01

we are going to see some mild

weather over the next few days. At

0:25:010:25:05

the same time there will be some

rain at types. Most of us got to

0:25:050:25:10

enjoy some sunshine today. Some

cloud for our weather watcher in

0:25:100:25:18

Hertford but a beautiful scene above

The Shard earlier. We had some area

0:25:180:25:25

of cloud. But we have had some

sunshine. Where we have the sunny

0:25:250:25:30

skies by day we will have clear

skies at night and temperatures will

0:25:300:25:34

dip. Some patchy cloud during

tonight. Some clear starry scars for

0:25:340:25:39

most and the -- skies for most and

temperatures just above freezing,

0:25:390:25:43

but for many places down to minus

one or two degrees. Some frost in

0:25:430:25:49

the morning. And some mist patches.

We get some sunshine, but it won't

0:25:490:25:53

last. Because the cloud will be

spreading up from the south and into

0:25:530:25:57

the afternoon you can see these

outbreaks of rain. The blue colours

0:25:570:26:03

show the rain will be light. But the

odd heavy burst. Won't stop the

0:26:030:26:09

temperatures getting up to 10

degrees. Breezy but we say goodbye

0:26:090:26:13

to the wet weather on Friday and

Saturday starts off with spells of

0:26:130:26:17

sunshine. One or two hefty showers.

But look at the temperatures - 14,

0:26:170:26:24

15, maybe even 16 degrees if you're

lucky. Because this area of low

0:26:240:26:29

pressure will drive things through

the weekend and yes, it will bring

0:26:290:26:33

rain, but it will also give us this

feed of southerly winds. So mild air

0:26:330:26:40

continuing to waft in. But some of

us could see a bit of rain clipping

0:26:400:26:44

through on Sunday. Particularly in

Essex and Kent. But generally a

0:26:440:26:48

largely dry day. Still mild. Next

week not as mild, but still 11 or

0:26:480:26:54

12. We might have struggled to think

we would see temperatures like that

0:26:540:27:00

again after last week.

Thank you.

0:27:000:27:03

we would see temperatures like that

again after last week.

Thank you.

0:27:030:27:05

Let me just recap

the main headlines.

0:27:050:27:07

The police officer who

helped a former Russian

0:27:070:27:09

spy and his daughter,

after they'd been poisoned by nerve

0:27:090:27:11

gas is now able to sit up and talk.

0:27:110:27:13

But Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey

remains in a serious condition.

0:27:130:27:22

A one-year-old from

South London who was left

0:27:220:27:24

brain damaged at birth has died,

hours after doctors

0:27:240:27:27

withdrew life support.

0:27:270:27:28

Isaiah Haastrup's parents had

fought against a decision

0:27:280:27:30

by King's College Hospital

to move him to palliative care.

0:27:300:27:33

That's it.

0:27:330:27:33

Asad Ahmad will be back later

during the ten o'clock news,

0:27:330:27:36

but for now from everyone

on the team have a lovely evening.

0:27:360:27:38

Goodbye.
