:00:12. > :00:16.The government and the Mayor have faced criticism

:00:17. > :00:20.There were protests this morning alongside commuters

:00:21. > :00:23.returning to work, many of whom found their journeys

:00:24. > :00:33.We can join Claudia-Liza Armah who's got the details.

:00:34. > :00:40.It was not the start to the new year many were hoping for and it all

:00:41. > :00:46.kicked off when price hikes were announced in rail fares and that

:00:47. > :00:50.average rise of 2.3% was met by protests in London outside King's

:00:51. > :00:55.Cross where predators were angry at what they described as a rail

:00:56. > :00:59.rip-off -- protesters. They are saying they are spending six times

:01:00. > :01:04.more on rail fares compared to be put in Europe and sometimes cannot

:01:05. > :01:06.even get a seat. The government defended it today, saying it is

:01:07. > :01:08.crucial to that all-important improvement works.

:01:09. > :01:10.Around the rail network there's a lot happening,

:01:11. > :01:13.I guess, of course, nobody wants to see a fare increase,

:01:14. > :01:16.but costs rise, pay rises and right now fares are rising

:01:17. > :01:25.So at least that's a step in the right direction.

:01:26. > :01:31.It was not just the Transport Secretary defending himself. Sadiq

:01:32. > :01:38.Khan has been criticised for taking people for falls over that key

:01:39. > :01:45.campaign pledge he made to freeze transport fares until 2020 -- taking

:01:46. > :01:46.them for fools. Critics say he has not kept his promise.

:01:47. > :01:49.If a week is a long time in politics, what about a year?

:01:50. > :01:51.This was Sadiq Khan last January with a key pledge

:01:52. > :01:57.The fares you pay in 2020 on bus, Tubes, DLR and London Overground

:01:58. > :02:00.will be the same fares you pay on May 6th, a day after

:02:01. > :02:02.I'm hopefully elected as the Mayor of London.

:02:03. > :02:05.It was one he repeated during the campaign.

:02:06. > :02:08.I've got a fully funded package to freeze fares over

:02:09. > :02:10.the next four years, so Londoners pay not a penny more

:02:11. > :02:17.REPORTER: Did you pay a penny more, Sadiq?

:02:18. > :02:23.Today he was back at Waterloo, campaigning against rail fare rises

:02:24. > :02:25.and trumped in the fact that many Transport for London

:02:26. > :02:28.fares have been frozen, but his promise doesn't apply

:02:29. > :02:30.to travelcards or the cap on Oyster cards.

:02:31. > :02:35.Does he think we're completely stupid?

:02:36. > :02:38.He said before the election that Londoners would not pay a penny more

:02:39. > :02:45.Well, clearly, a lot of them found out that today they are paying more.

:02:46. > :02:50.I think the Mayor has got to stop peddling this line

:02:51. > :02:52.because it's quite clear to most commuters going to work

:02:53. > :02:54.today, they're paying more for their travelcard and more

:02:55. > :02:57.for their cap on their Oyster card as well.

:02:58. > :03:00.It's about time the Mayor started looking at how he can help other

:03:01. > :03:04.The Mayor insists his freeze on TFL fares will save the average London

:03:05. > :03:07.household around ?200 over the next four years.

:03:08. > :03:11.I still point to the Government - look, if I can make TFL fit

:03:12. > :03:13.for purpose, if I can reduce inefficiencies, if I can

:03:14. > :03:17.make efficiency savings, if I can increase revenue streams

:03:18. > :03:19.elsewhere to freeze TFL fares, why can't they do the same

:03:20. > :03:25.The Mayor also called again today for the Government to hand control

:03:26. > :03:28.of Southern Rail to Transport for London ahead of another planned

:03:29. > :03:31.He says he'd talk to the unions to avoid action

:03:32. > :03:44.Karl mentioned there more industrial action on Southern Rail?

:03:45. > :03:51.Yes, that's right. If you put that was not bad enough and things could

:03:52. > :03:56.not get worse on the London train network, it is. Next week as part of

:03:57. > :03:59.an ongoing dispute with Southern rail bosses, its drivers are going

:04:00. > :04:06.on strike for a whopping six days which is part of that ongoing

:04:07. > :04:09.dispute with about -- about driver only operated trains when they have

:04:10. > :04:13.to mix of the doors are closed, something conductors had to do. This

:04:14. > :04:20.is how the strike will work. It start next Monday. It will finish on

:04:21. > :04:26.Saturday the 14th of January, that is all inclusive. It is easier to

:04:27. > :04:32.explain which services will not be effected which is Thames Link and

:04:33. > :04:39.GABA express are expected to have trains running every 30 minutes. --

:04:40. > :04:43.Gatwick Express. Southern is advising its passengers not to even

:04:44. > :04:47.bother using its rail lines for those six days but my advice for

:04:48. > :04:50.anybody expecting to use it is to check before you travel. Thank you

:04:51. > :04:52.very much. So, 2017 will be key

:04:53. > :04:56.for Britain and Brexit. The Prime Minster has pledged

:04:57. > :04:58.to officially trigger the process of leaving the EU

:04:59. > :05:01.by the end of March. This week we're looking at how that

:05:02. > :05:04.could impact the capital. Tonight the view of EU nationals,

:05:05. > :05:06.feeling uncertain over There are a lot of unknowns when it

:05:07. > :05:14.comes to how we might leave the European Union but what we do

:05:15. > :05:17.know is that it's likely to mean So what's the current picture of EU

:05:18. > :05:24.nationals in London? In 2015 the total number of EU

:05:25. > :05:27.migrants living in London In this Polish cafe in south London,

:05:28. > :05:33.these construction workers from the EU did not seem overly

:05:34. > :05:37.concerned about their future. I didn't know what it is going to be

:05:38. > :05:40.after March, but at this moment, I'm just waiting for

:05:41. > :05:45.the Home Office to send me my I was applying two months ago,

:05:46. > :05:49.for me and my family. We are in this country

:05:50. > :05:52.for over ten years. But they are two skilled

:05:53. > :05:54.workers who have lived The big difference is what happens

:05:55. > :05:59.going forward and there, depending on what kind of system,

:06:00. > :06:02.what kind of immigration system we get after Brexit,

:06:03. > :06:04.we could see a significant reduction in the number of new people coming

:06:05. > :06:08.in, particularly in low skilled jobs that are least likely to qualify

:06:09. > :06:16.for any new Visa system. Aga is a waitress in

:06:17. > :06:18.a so-called low skilled job. That would worry me more than,

:06:19. > :06:22.you know, what's going EU migrants are not so easily

:06:23. > :06:34.replaced says her manager. It may not be politically correct

:06:35. > :06:37.to say so but the fact is there are no Brits in that age

:06:38. > :06:40.sector of any numbers to replace the Europeans that

:06:41. > :06:42.are currently working. It's not like the Europeans

:06:43. > :06:44.have come in and taken And what about the highly

:06:45. > :06:49.skilled EU migrants, 35% of which are in managerial

:06:50. > :06:54.or professional roles in London? I think the first thing that comes

:06:55. > :06:57.to mind is definitely uncertainty. But also I would say a fear

:06:58. > :07:06.which is sometimes not rational. A lot of people have strong emotion

:07:07. > :07:09.about Brexit but I think I think we should wait and see

:07:10. > :07:13.what is going to happen. With London's workforce reliant

:07:14. > :07:16.on EU migrants of all skilled types, On the one hand, you might expect

:07:17. > :07:21.that more people would come in anticipation of the fact that it

:07:22. > :07:24.might be more difficult On the other hand, a lot will depend

:07:25. > :07:29.on the state of the economy and it is possible that people's

:07:30. > :07:31.uncertainty about whether they will be able to state

:07:32. > :07:35.and about the political implications of the referendum result could make

:07:36. > :07:39.the UK less attractive. All EU workers living in London

:07:40. > :07:47.will be waiting to see Sales of vinyl records have hit

:07:48. > :07:52.a 25-year high boosted by a new generation of music lovers

:07:53. > :07:55.who may not even play them. It's thought instead they may be

:07:56. > :07:58.bought as collectors' items - last year's top selling artist

:07:59. > :08:02.was Londoner David Bowie. David Sillito has been a record

:08:03. > :08:12.store in Soho to find out more. For Phil Barton of Sister Ray

:08:13. > :08:21.records, there is no debate. Music just sounds better when it

:08:22. > :08:24.comes on a 12 inch disk, However, things have

:08:25. > :08:30.begun to change. Listen, ten years ago

:08:31. > :08:33.I would have given you the keys to the shop and said,

:08:34. > :08:35.look, you know, I can't make So I didn't realise this

:08:36. > :08:39.stuff was still going David Bowie was the biggest

:08:40. > :08:42.seller last year. Prince was also in the top ten

:08:43. > :08:45.along with Amy Winehouse, Over the last ten years,

:08:46. > :08:57.sales have grown by 1500%. However, a recent survey

:08:58. > :08:59.found that nearly half, Of course it is worth putting this

:09:00. > :09:05.into some sort of context because imagine that each of these

:09:06. > :09:13.records represents a million sales. The BPI says that if you add

:09:14. > :09:16.in streaming, digital downloads, CDs, about 123 million albums

:09:17. > :09:18.were sold last year. And the number of vinyl albums sold

:09:19. > :09:25.last year, 3 million. But both are dwarfed by the real

:09:26. > :09:29.music titan, streaming. Streaming is a totally

:09:30. > :09:31.different beast really. 45 billion streams, it is at

:09:32. > :09:34.the other end of the spectrum. It is not really recorded

:09:35. > :09:36.music in the physical Even Drake, the world's

:09:37. > :09:45.most streamed artist, has now issued his back catalogue

:09:46. > :09:48.on vinyl after discovering But for most fans of Justin Bieber

:09:49. > :09:52.and the other kings of streaming, this way of listening

:09:53. > :09:54.is ancient history. I'll say goodnight now,

:09:55. > :10:10.and leave you with Chris Fawkes We did manage to get a bit of

:10:11. > :10:14.sunshine today but since then the skies have been turning cloudier and

:10:15. > :10:20.overnight it will be a largely dry night. Where there are any gaps in

:10:21. > :10:24.the cloud it is possible to get the odd pockets of frost in the

:10:25. > :10:28.countryside but the most it is frost free but quite chilly with tempered

:10:29. > :10:34.is between two and 4 degrees. This is Wednesday, a lot of cloud, the

:10:35. > :10:39.odd spot of rain but it will not amount to much and for most of us it

:10:40. > :10:42.will be dry. In the afternoon we should seize sunshine coming back

:10:43. > :10:48.out and temperatures climbing to about 8 degrees. With those clear

:10:49. > :10:54.skies, tomorrow night it will be freezing cold with temperatures in

:10:55. > :10:57.the coldest spots potentially down to -6 or -7. Thursday should be

:10:58. > :11:03.decent but it turns cloudier and milder later in the week. That is it

:11:04. > :11:10.from me but coming up next is the national picture. Good evening. But

:11:11. > :11:15.frost or not of frost, that is the weather question for tomorrow and

:11:16. > :11:19.the answer is no, probably not because of this weather front that

:11:20. > :11:23.is slipping south from Scotland, maybe towards the south-west where

:11:24. > :11:28.we might have one or two pockets of clearer skies. The real cold air is

:11:29. > :11:32.in the north, behind that cold front and that will be as significant as

:11:33. > :11:35.we move into Thursday morning. It means that overnight temperatures

:11:36. > :11:39.will stay just above freezing with the exception in parts of Scotland.
