0:00:17 > 0:00:19Stephen Port learn of missed opportunities and failures
0:00:19 > 0:00:22by the police in their initial investigation.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Officers were interviewed and some of them remain under the microscope
0:00:26 > 0:00:27for damning failings.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30We'll hear how the victims families are frustrated about how
0:00:30 > 0:00:31long investigation into the police response is taking.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Hundreds of homeless people leave a central London building they'd

0:00:57 > 0:01:00Thank you. Thank you from you specifically.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03And we'll be finding out why our school reporters got a big

0:01:16 > 0:01:18Good evening and welcome to the programme.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20I'm Louisa Preston.
0:01:20 > 0:01:25First tonight - the families of the men murdered
0:01:25 > 0:01:27by serial killer Stephen Port have learnt of "multiple
0:01:27 > 0:01:28failures" and "missed opportunities" by the Met.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Port drugged and raped four young men and dumped their bodies
0:01:32 > 0:01:34in a graveyard near his home in Barking.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38He was given a life sentence for their murders in 2016.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41The families of the victims say they are frustrated about how slow
0:01:41 > 0:01:42the investigation has been.
0:01:42 > 0:01:48Frankie McCamley reports.
0:01:48 > 0:01:53The graveyard in Barking where Stephen Port dumped three of his
0:01:53 > 0:01:58four victims' bodies. He invited them to his home using dating apps
0:01:58 > 0:02:02before killing them with a gleeful dose of a
0:02:06 > 0:02:14-- with a lethal dose of a drug. Police were asked multiple times
0:02:14 > 0:02:19whether they thought the deaths had been connected, but officers missed
0:02:19 > 0:02:26all signs there was a serial killer at work. Today the victims' families
0:02:26 > 0:02:30say they have been told a report into the net's response to the
0:02:30 > 0:02:35murders will be damning.We have been told the reporter is likely to
0:02:35 > 0:02:40be critical of the Metropolitan Police and a good number of officers
0:02:40 > 0:02:44employed by the Met. 17 officers have been interviewed and a fair
0:02:44 > 0:02:50number remain under the microscope for some damning failings.The force
0:02:50 > 0:02:53refuses to comment that the Independent office for police
0:02:53 > 0:03:01conduct launch the enquiry after families raised concerns.If they
0:03:01 > 0:03:05had done what they were supposed to, lives would have been saved. People
0:03:05 > 0:03:13would not have gone through what they went through.Anthony Walgate's
0:03:13 > 0:03:19mother accused the force of ignoring the death simply because the men
0:03:19 > 0:03:23were gay.It was homophobic. They refuse to investigate anything. No
0:03:23 > 0:03:29matter what you said to them.The former chef was given a life
0:03:29 > 0:03:34sentence despite a catalogue of errors by police. But questions
0:03:34 > 0:03:40still remain. Why did it take so long for police to take notice and
0:03:40 > 0:03:45what can be done to stop it happening again?
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Frankie joins us now.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49You spoke to the lawyer working with the victims families today -
0:03:49 > 0:03:51how are they feeling?
0:03:51 > 0:03:56The families have spoken to the BBC on a number of occasions expressing
0:03:56 > 0:04:01frustration towards the police and since their meeting with the
0:04:01 > 0:04:04independent office for police conduct I still think that is the
0:04:04 > 0:04:09case, especially as they are not as far down the line in this as they
0:04:09 > 0:04:14wanted. It is a complex enquiry, looking into more than a dozen
0:04:14 > 0:04:19officers and also sadly into a number of deaths and the family are
0:04:19 > 0:04:23unaware of that. They say they are understanding towards that because
0:04:23 > 0:04:28their main priority is to get to the bottom of what happened in the
0:04:28 > 0:04:31investigation. Are we clearer on when they will find out more
0:04:31 > 0:04:38information? We understand the report will be sent to the
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Metropolitan Police by May. It does not mean the findings will be made
0:04:41 > 0:04:46public and the families will see it, that will happen further down the
0:04:46 > 0:04:51line but we know 17 officers are being investigated, seven of whom
0:04:51 > 0:04:56could be sacked if found guilty of gross misconduct. The Metropolitan
0:04:56 > 0:05:06Police say it is inappropriate to comment and it is said that the
0:05:06 > 0:05:14independent office does not have views on the findings.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Lots more to come including....
0:05:15 > 0:05:18The people living on the River Lea who say it's taking too long
0:05:18 > 0:05:21to clean up the the worst oil spill in years.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Some homeless people who have been squatting in a central London
0:05:25 > 0:05:28building during the cold weather say they don't know where they will
0:05:28 > 0:05:30sleep tonight, after leaving ahead of a court deadline.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32More than 150 people were staying
0:05:32 > 0:05:34in the Great Portland Street site, and left voluntarily.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37But many were worried about where they would end up,
0:05:37 > 0:05:42as Helen Drew reports.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Midday today, the deadline for around 150 homeless people to leave
0:05:45 > 0:05:46this building.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48They waited for the bailiffs, who did not show up.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49But they left anyway.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Nearly all without a plan.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57Where are you going to go now?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59This is the thing, we don't know.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01We have not got a clue at the moment.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03We could be heading back to the streets.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04The doorways.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05In corners, with rubbish.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07We could be eating out of bins.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08We don't know.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10We don't know what's going to happen tonight.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13They have had somewhere to sleep since the beginning of the
0:06:13 > 0:06:15month, when activists took over this four-storey building on great
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Portland Street because of the cold weather.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20The primary object of this building was to try and beat the
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Beast from the East.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25To try to raise awareness of empty buildings.
0:06:25 > 0:06:25Trying to save people'slives.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27I have been speaking to volunteers who have
0:06:27 > 0:06:29told me stories of the amazing generosity they have experienced
0:06:29 > 0:06:31from strangers.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32They tell me supermarket shops delivered straight
0:06:32 > 0:06:35to the door here.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37And one lady told me when she gave the man a pair of
0:06:37 > 0:06:40socks he cried and said it was the first time he had had
0:06:40 > 0:06:42a pair of socks for years.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44But there are local residents who say they have seen
0:06:44 > 0:06:46people urinating outside and are worried about aggressive
0:06:46 > 0:06:47and drunken behaviour.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Last week, the building's landlord went to court
0:06:50 > 0:06:52saying these people had no right to be here.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54And the judge backed their eviction order.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Westminster Council tells us they are aware of the
0:06:56 > 0:07:00situation and have been offering support to those with a genuine
0:07:00 > 0:07:01housing need.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05They say they offer over 400 bed spaces every night
0:07:05 > 0:07:08through local partners and the Mayor of London says his team have spoken
0:07:08 > 0:07:09to Westminster Council and
0:07:09 > 0:07:14made sure help is at hand.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17But most of the people we met did not have a bed for
0:07:17 > 0:07:18tonight and volunteers feel frustrated.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20They will have food in their bellies,
0:07:20 > 0:07:21they would have had a
0:07:21 > 0:07:22hot cup of coffee.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24That is the best we can do.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27We will keep in touch with them as best as we can.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28It is absolutely terrible.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30People are going to go out on the streets to
0:07:30 > 0:07:31die.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35With all the buildings spare in this country, I don't understand
0:07:35 > 0:07:35what is going on.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36I think it is disgusting.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39After we spoke to Andrew, he headed out to Bexley for
0:07:39 > 0:07:41a meeting with the charity about a place to stay,
0:07:41 > 0:07:44but they have nothing just yet so tonight he has come back
0:07:44 > 0:07:45to central London.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47He may well rejoin the group.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50It is not confirmed, but many told us they had found another
0:07:50 > 0:07:51building just down the road.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56But they would not say where.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00A French nanny, whose body was found in a garden
0:08:00 > 0:08:02in South London, was held captive and badly beaten before her death,
0:08:03 > 0:08:10a court has heard.
0:08:10 > 0:08:1221-year-old Sophie Leonnet was discovered at a
0:08:12 > 0:08:13house in Southfields.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Her former employers are on trial at the Old Bailey for her murder.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Richard Lister was in court.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24Opening the prosecution, the QC told the jury that Sophie Leonnet's last
0:08:24 > 0:08:29hours must've been truly wretched. He said she was found with four
0:08:29 > 0:08:33broken ribs, a broken jaw and fractured sternum and said the
0:08:33 > 0:08:38defendants tried to conceal her body by burning it in their garden. He
0:08:38 > 0:08:49told the court that Sabrina had a fixation with the former member of
0:08:49 > 0:08:54the band Boyzone. He's said that she had accused her nanny of conspiring
0:08:54 > 0:08:58with him, an accusation he denies. The court said he had not met Sophie
0:08:58 > 0:09:08Leonnet and not in touch with her and lives in Los Angeles. The court
0:09:08 > 0:09:13heard that other allegations were made against the nanny, that she had
0:09:13 > 0:09:18beat and interrogated her and refuse to let her go home. Sophie Leonnet's
0:09:18 > 0:09:24parents were in court to hear the sometimes distressing account of her
0:09:24 > 0:09:31life. Both defendants deny murder.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Police are looking for a man who burgled an elderly
0:09:33 > 0:09:35woman as she lay in bed.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38The 90-year-old was in her home in Blackbrook Lane in Bromley
0:09:38 > 0:09:44when a man forced open the window, climbed inside her bedroom
0:09:44 > 0:09:44and took her jewellery. climbed inside her bedroom
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Her family had installed CCTV in her home as she suffers from Alzheimers.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50A man has been charged with attempted murder after a car
0:09:50 > 0:09:52was driven into a busy nightclub injuring at least 13 people.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54It happened in Gravesend on Saturday night.
0:09:54 > 0:09:5621-year-old Mohammed Abdul from Deptford has been remanded
0:09:56 > 0:09:58in custody and will appear in court next month.
0:09:58 > 0:10:04The incident isn't being treated as terror-related.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Residents in Croydon were evacuated from their homes
0:10:07 > 0:10:08overnight after a car drove into an energy plant
0:10:09 > 0:10:11and caused a gas leak.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16It happened on Whitestone Way and cordons were put in place.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Roads have now reopened and residents will be able to return
0:10:18 > 0:10:21home once safety checks are carried out.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Two men found guilty of organising hundreds
0:10:23 > 0:10:27of cockfights have escaped jail.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30The RSPCA says the case against Bill Ripley and Moses Brinkley,
0:10:30 > 0:10:33who both live in Kent, is the biggest of its kind
0:10:33 > 0:10:36they've ever seen.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38More than 45,000 pieces of evidence were gathered,
0:10:38 > 0:10:41showing the men were obsessed with the illegal sport, often
0:10:41 > 0:10:42forcing birds to fight to the death.
0:10:42 > 0:10:49They were handed a 14-week suspended sentence.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51In May, Londoners will be heading to the polls
0:10:51 > 0:10:52for the local council elections.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Today a campaign to crack down on voter fraud was launched.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58One of the measures being trialled in some parts of the capital
0:10:58 > 0:11:00will require people to show ID to vote.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02But as Marc Ashdown reports, some are questioning
0:11:02 > 0:11:09what difference it will make.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Your vote belongs to you. Your voice, your vote is the message
0:11:13 > 0:11:19behind the campaign to tackle voter fraud. Three areas in London will
0:11:19 > 0:11:24run a pilot at local elections and voters will have to present photo ID
0:11:24 > 0:11:31to cast their ballot. But it has prompted a group of 40 charities,
0:11:31 > 0:11:35campaign groups and academics to write to the government to outline
0:11:35 > 0:11:39their concerns. The letter effectively says it is like using a
0:11:39 > 0:11:43sledgehammer to crack a nut and notes according to official figures
0:11:43 > 0:11:50there were 44 allegations of voter impersonation in 2016, compare to
0:11:50 > 0:11:553.5 million voters in the UK who do not have access to photo ID and
0:11:55 > 0:12:00concerned that the 7.5% of the electorate might be put off trying
0:12:00 > 0:12:06to vote.I think it is a concern that is not founded and risk
0:12:06 > 0:12:12scaremongering.People have said it, the electoral reform Society and
0:12:12 > 0:12:17organisations saying people do not have access to photo ID.The
0:12:17 > 0:12:21authorities who have taken part in the pilots have made sure everybody
0:12:21 > 0:12:29has an alternative method. If you are concerned you do not have the
0:12:29 > 0:12:33IDE, you do not need to worry, speak to the council if they are part of
0:12:33 > 0:12:35the pilot and they will help with an alternative method.In Tower Hamlets
0:12:35 > 0:12:40they are focusing on postal ballots after the 20 14th scandal. There
0:12:40 > 0:12:46will be checks and home visits were multiple people registered. The main
0:12:46 > 0:12:50challenge is getting people engaged. Will you vote?Yes. In the local
0:12:50 > 0:12:55elections, do you know when they are?I don't know.I am not
0:12:55 > 0:13:03interested.Probably not.Would it put you off if you had to show ID?
0:13:03 > 0:13:10No. You would still vote?This is a solution looking for a problem and
0:13:10 > 0:13:14people should focus on getting the turnout up and not creating new
0:13:14 > 0:13:22barriers at the polling station. Turnout can be 40%, or lower, so we
0:13:22 > 0:13:28should focus on people exercising their democratic right.People say
0:13:28 > 0:13:30this is keeping democracy safe.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33It's more than a month since the oil spill on the River Lea
0:13:33 > 0:13:36and people living on the north London canal are calling
0:13:36 > 0:13:38on the government to investigate the inadequate clean up.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Boaters and businesses say it's taken too long to clean the polluted
0:13:41 > 0:13:43stretch of the canal, and they've been
0:13:43 > 0:13:44exposed to toxic waste.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49Gareth Furby reports.
0:13:49 > 0:13:55Today it look pretty but five weeks after a massive oil spill on the
0:13:55 > 0:14:00River Lea, some patches have still not been cleared up. The lorry lives
0:14:00 > 0:14:07on a canal boat and showed as one location -- Laurie Watkins.It is
0:14:07 > 0:14:11not healthy for wildlife and for people living on the boats. If it
0:14:11 > 0:14:15happens again I want to make sure there is something in place to
0:14:15 > 0:14:20prevent it from spreading to the scale it has.No one yet knows who
0:14:20 > 0:14:25is to blame but the theory is it was dumped into a Zurich chip pipe that
0:14:25 > 0:14:32went into the river. Some think it is wrong they had to play such a
0:14:32 > 0:14:37large role in the clean-up.An industrial spill of this size should
0:14:37 > 0:14:43not come down to volunteers. When the agency who are responsible have
0:14:43 > 0:14:48not done enough about it after weeks, that is where we felt we
0:14:48 > 0:14:53needed to step in.An open letter has been written calling on the
0:14:53 > 0:14:57authorities to rethink their approach. So that if it happens
0:14:57 > 0:15:04again, the response is better organised.We would like to see a
0:15:04 > 0:15:10faster response in future if a future disaster happened, in order
0:15:10 > 0:15:15to contain the oil quicker and not allow it to spread as far as it has
0:15:15 > 0:15:20this time.Today we filmed as the official clean-up continued. This
0:15:20 > 0:15:29was the Environment Agency.This is unprecedented. This event that has
0:15:29 > 0:15:34happened to us has never happened in the past. We have never had anything
0:15:34 > 0:15:38on this scale. We have kept up with it but because of the flow of the
0:15:38 > 0:15:44river it continuously comes in. In future we would deal with it the
0:15:44 > 0:15:48same way, working multi-agency and responding quickly.Today at last
0:15:48 > 0:15:53the canal was reopened. The blooms that have blocked traffic finally
0:15:53 > 0:15:58removed. But some river users will not rest until all remnants have
0:15:58 > 0:16:03gone and they have been reassured that any future emergency will be
0:16:03 > 0:16:03dealt with differently.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Still to come....
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Talking school, stardom and science fiction.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12What happened when our school reporters met
0:16:12 > 0:16:18Hollywood actor John Boyega.
0:16:18 > 0:16:23At last, today the sun was out and the snow was melting. Could we at
0:16:23 > 0:16:30last be about to see Spring? Join me later.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Some Russian families living in the capital have told this
0:16:32 > 0:16:34programme that they feel anxious about their safety after
0:16:34 > 0:16:40the nerve agent attack just over two weeks ago.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Few are willing to speak on camera for fear of getting into trouble
0:16:43 > 0:16:45with the authorities in their home country.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48But as Sarah Harris reports the mayor is keen to reassure them
0:16:48 > 0:16:55they are living in a safe city.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Queensway in west London. Known locally as little Russia. That is

0:17:21 > 0:17:25and family are lying low.I have had a few of my friends cracking jokes
0:17:25 > 0:17:28and telling me, better that I don't eat from your house because you
0:17:28 > 0:17:34might poison me. When I meet strangers over the last month they
0:17:34 > 0:17:37are like, I need to be careful around you, I do not know if I
0:17:37 > 0:17:42should make friends with you. It is weird and silly. What the
0:17:42 > 0:17:48politicians are doing has nothing to do with us.A luxurious £24 million

0:18:11 > 0:18:16into rebuilding. We have certain requests from the IP clients for
0:18:16 > 0:18:22masks with a charcoal filter, because that is the best for
0:18:22 > 0:18:30counteracting an attack.The Mayor of London is keen to reassure
0:18:30 > 0:18:34Russians living here.It is really important to distinguish and
0:18:34 > 0:18:40separate Londoners of Russian origin or Russians in London on business
0:18:40 > 0:18:45from reactions of what appears to be the Russian government. My message
0:18:45 > 0:18:49to law-abiding Russians is you are welcome here.With President Putin
0:18:49 > 0:18:55now serving his next term in office, many Russians in London are hoping
0:18:55 > 0:18:59to get on with their lives, even if any that means for now staying at
0:18:59 > 0:19:03home and keeping a low profile.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04They're a common sight in the capital.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Box trees cut into hedges of all shapes and sizes.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09But, they're under threat from box tree caterpillars.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Now horticulturalists in Surrey are trying to find the best
0:19:12 > 0:19:13way to tackle the pest.
0:19:13 > 0:19:20Our Environment Correspondent, Tom Edwards, has been finding out more.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24The boxtree caterpillar arrived from China
0:19:24 > 0:19:30around 2011 and since then, it has been destroying the capital's
0:19:30 > 0:19:32boxtrees, leaving them looking like this.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Last summer this was eaten completely by caterpillars of the
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Boxtree moth.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39And in particular it seems to be a problem in gardens in
0:19:39 > 0:19:44south-west London.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46They can completely strip the plant of
0:19:46 > 0:19:48leaves and do not look very attractive.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50They covered them in webbing.
0:19:50 > 0:19:57It does not look or smell very nice at all.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59At the Royal Horticultural Society in Surrrey, they
0:19:59 > 0:20:05are now breeding the caterpillars, because they want to test the best
0:20:05 > 0:20:09way to tackle them, including when and how to apply insecticide
0:20:09 > 0:20:13or natural control methods such as nematodes.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17We probably start off quite simple or basic with how well do these
0:20:17 > 0:20:23nematode biological control work on the Boxtree Caterpillar?
0:20:23 > 0:20:28Perhaps how well does some pesticides work on
0:20:28 > 0:20:31them, are there different ways we can apply them to make them more
0:20:31 > 0:20:33effective and eventually we would piece together the separate
0:20:33 > 0:20:35research projects into the advice we can give
0:20:35 > 0:20:39to gardeners.
0:20:39 > 0:20:48The other alternative is to use other types of hedges that
0:20:48 > 0:20:57the caterpillars do not eat.
0:20:57 > 0:21:02Experts believe these pests will be difficult to get rid of. And we will
0:21:02 > 0:21:10see changes to the capital's and is permanently. -- Gardens.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Now it's not very often you get to see behind the scenes
0:21:13 > 0:21:16when a new Hollywood film is being promoted but as part
0:21:16 > 0:21:18of the BBC's School Report we sent two students from Lewisham
0:21:18 > 0:21:21to experience it first hand - and for their first assignment
0:21:21 > 0:21:23they spoke to Star Wars' actor John Boyega.
0:21:23 > 0:21:30Wendy Hurrell was also there to give them some pointers.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35Welcome to the baffling world of the movie junket, into which we have
0:21:35 > 0:21:43brought our intrepid school reporters.We are here in a 5-star
0:21:43 > 0:21:50hotel...To interview John Boyega about his new film.Don't give up.
0:21:50 > 0:21:59He plays Jake Pentecost, fighting off sea monsters in Pacific Rim
0:21:59 > 0:22:04Uprising. We are in a small room at a posh hotel filled with production
0:22:04 > 0:22:09staff and a startling array of light, sound and camera equipment.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14We are really nervous. It is an intimidating situation. In a holding
0:22:14 > 0:22:19room, a pep talk from me.There will be people hiding in the corner and
0:22:19 > 0:22:23you are wondering what they are doing.Ignore them and that is fine.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27The movie stars have been sitting here all day answering pretty much
0:22:27 > 0:22:32the same questions over and over. Taking presents always goes down
0:22:32 > 0:22:39well.Do you know what, other people keep the mind me it is my birthday
0:22:39 > 0:22:46and I had totally forgotten. Thank you for this.Thank you so much.
0:22:46 > 0:22:57There was a battle scene in the film and there were weapons like light
0:22:57 > 0:23:03sabres from Star Wars.I wish we could have won from Pacific rim.You
0:23:03 > 0:23:10are known as a peck boy. Does this help to fulfil your acting dreams?
0:23:10 > 0:23:18-- peck. I am blessed. I have had a good time in theatre schools with
0:23:18 > 0:23:23friends who were aiming for the same thing as myself. I was there when I
0:23:23 > 0:23:29had the biggest role in my life.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31What a brilliant start!
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Let's find out when it's going to get a bit warmer with Matt Taylor.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Plenty of snow across London during the weekend. Today at least we will
0:23:43 > 0:23:47see some sunshine. Probably felt warmer when you are out there but
0:23:47 > 0:23:52still a cold wind out of the wind and sun it felt nice. It has started
0:23:52 > 0:24:05to snow -- it has stopped snowing in and around London. A few problems
0:24:05 > 0:24:09with the graphics of the Locatelli what will happen for them tonight at
0:24:09 > 0:24:12the moment clear skies around for the temperatures are set to plummet
0:24:12 > 0:24:16for that there will be a frost here and there to take us into the
0:24:16 > 0:24:22morning. A keen, north-easterly wind which will bring more cloud later
0:24:22 > 0:24:27on. As the cloud rolls in in Hertfordshire and Essex, there could
0:24:27 > 0:24:34be the odd spot of light rain. Maybe sleep as well. Nothing too
0:24:34 > 0:24:38significant. The clearest conditions in the first part of the night for
0:24:38 > 0:24:43the plenty of cloud with a few breaks here and there. For morning
0:24:43 > 0:24:46commuters, be prepared. It will be on the cold side. Temperatures
0:24:46 > 0:24:55hovering between -1 and minus to. You will have to wrap up first thing
0:24:55 > 0:25:00in the morning. The morning cloud we start with will break up. Some good,
0:25:00 > 0:25:06long sunny spells. A few spots of light rain towards the east. It
0:25:06 > 0:25:08would be predominantly dry. More and more sunshine developing as you go
0:25:08 > 0:25:12through the day full stop the winds will be lighter than they were
0:25:12 > 0:25:18today. Temperatures are lifting up nicely. Temperatures around 79
0:25:18 > 0:25:24degrees. A big improvement on what we have seen in the last few days.
0:25:24 > 0:25:32-- between seven and 9 degrees. The frost will be back. Temperatures at
0:25:32 > 0:25:37lowest on Wednesday. In Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire we could get
0:25:37 > 0:25:42down to minus three. Some good, long sunny spells to take us through the
0:25:42 > 0:25:48day. Temperatures on Wednesday will lift up to around eight, 9 degrees
0:25:48 > 0:25:53once again. For the rest of the week, as high-pressure drifts to the
0:25:53 > 0:25:56south, instead of the wind coming in from the East they will come from
0:25:56 > 0:26:01the West. The westerly wind will bring rain to the western side of
0:26:01 > 0:26:07the UK and will of course dry out. Westerly winds, a boost in the
0:26:07 > 0:26:16temperature was up through Thursday and Friday there are good, sunny
0:26:16 > 0:26:18spells around. The wind is coming in from the south-west and temperatures
0:26:18 > 0:26:22will peak at anywhere between ten and their team. Tomorrow is the
0:26:22 > 0:26:28start of the astronomical spring. -- and 13. The weather might just about
0:26:28 > 0:26:32feel like that as well.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34A look at the main headlines tonight.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36A large part of the arrangements for Britain's withdrawal
0:26:36 > 0:26:37from the EU has been agreed.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Michel Barnier and David Davis said the deal was a "decisive step",
0:26:40 > 0:26:42though they conceded that issues around the Northern Ireland
0:26:42 > 0:26:43border remain unresolved.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45International chemical weapons experts have arrived in Salisbury
0:26:45 > 0:26:49to examine the nerve agent used to poison the former Russian spy,
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Sergei Skripal, and his daughter.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21The property in Great Portland Street was taken over
0:27:21 > 0:27:24during the cold weather.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25That's it.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33from everyone on the team thanks for watching and have
0:27:34 > 0:27:36a lovely evening.
