: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

:05:28. > :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

:05:50. > :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

:06:35. > :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

:07:59. > :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.
