:00:00. > :00:11.Trump. Here on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.
:00:12. > :00:18.Today the capital paused to remember and honour a brave officer, father,
:00:19. > :00:20.and life-long Charlton fan who paid the ultimate sacrifice
:00:21. > :00:31.The Mayor of London said the big turnout was recognition
:00:32. > :00:33.by the public of how every day police put
:00:34. > :00:37.The funeral service paid tribute to PC Keith Palmer
:00:38. > :00:42.Flowers first thing this morning at Charlton Athletic Football Club
:00:43. > :00:45.where PC Keith Palmer was a season-ticket holder.
:00:46. > :00:52.His seat now white, carrying his warrant number.
:00:53. > :00:54.People need to be remembered, these guys are putting themselves
:00:55. > :01:01.Plenty of people here knew the friendly,
:01:02. > :01:05.Peter Elliott used to repair his bike.
:01:06. > :01:08.Until I saw his face on the television on the news,
:01:09. > :01:12.I didn't realise who the policeman was but as soon as I saw his face
:01:13. > :01:15.Just a shame really, such a nice chap has
:01:16. > :01:19.Today was a chance for ordinary Londoners to pay tribute,
:01:20. > :01:24.say thank you to the man who laid down his life to protect us all.
:01:25. > :01:28.No one is really moving at all, they're just here, they've stopped
:01:29. > :01:30.everything they're doing just to kind of pay their
:01:31. > :01:38.This is a mark of respect for his family and is showing
:01:39. > :01:40.the family the whole country's with him and their respect
:01:41. > :01:43.I haven't seen anything like this before.
:01:44. > :01:46.I do think it's good that they're doing something like this
:01:47. > :01:49.for someone who showed a bit of courage when it was needed.
:01:50. > :01:51.Thousands of police officers from around the country lined
:01:52. > :01:55.Even though I didn't know PC Palmer personally,
:01:56. > :02:01.Unfortunately PC Palmer took the great sacrifice but he was doing
:02:02. > :02:05.what he set out to do in his duty and that's why I think
:02:06. > :02:07.everybody is here today, to show their appreciation
:02:08. > :02:09.for what police officers and PC Palmer have done.
:02:10. > :02:12.And tributes from two colleagues, friends who knew him for 20 years
:02:13. > :02:17.I never came across someone who worked as hard as Keith did.
:02:18. > :02:21.There wasn't a day that went by when he wouldn't be in work
:02:22. > :02:26.The messages that people from all over the country have given
:02:27. > :02:30.in support of Keith and his family, it has been an amazing tribute
:02:31. > :02:39.I suppose to Keith and the way he was and the way he behaved.
:02:40. > :02:42.This was a difficult day, a difficult balance between a very
:02:43. > :02:44.public show of respect and the private
:02:45. > :02:53.There were words of hope, of resurrection, of life
:02:54. > :02:56.in Jesus Christ, of not abandoning hope, and of thanksgiving
:02:57. > :02:59.And those deeds will never be forgotten.
:03:00. > :03:08.Neighbours of a care home in Hertfordshire have praised
:03:09. > :03:11.the bravery of firefighters who rescued more than 30 elderly
:03:12. > :03:13.residents after a fire ripped through the building,
:03:14. > :03:19.Locals have rallied round to help survivors who've lost everything.
:03:20. > :03:28.It was a fierce fire which spread rapidly.
:03:29. > :03:32.A neighbour managed to capture the blaze at its peak.
:03:33. > :03:35.Over 60 firefighters fought for a day to put it out.
:03:36. > :03:39.When they arrived they were also faced with the challenge of rescuing
:03:40. > :03:42.more than 30 elderly people who, because of disability
:03:43. > :03:50.or age, were trapped inside the burning building.
:03:51. > :03:52.Today firefighters were praised for their work that night.
:03:53. > :03:59.The firefighters themselves say they just doing their job.
:04:00. > :04:04.Our firefighters undertook a systematic search of the building,
:04:05. > :04:10.sometimes having to physically lift and carry the residents
:04:11. > :04:13.from the building, or get them to walk assisted down a ladder
:04:14. > :04:15.pitched to the outside face of the building.
:04:16. > :04:19.That is quite a challenge given the roof was ablaze.
:04:20. > :04:21.The crews worked extremely hard in difficult circumstances
:04:22. > :04:27.This fire broke out in the early hours of Saturday morning
:04:28. > :04:32.and as neighbours awoke, they brought out clothes
:04:33. > :04:37.and blankets to help those who were rescued from this building.
:04:38. > :04:43.This fire has caused real sadness and shock in this community.
:04:44. > :04:46.Half a mile down the road, John Weale and his boss have been
:04:47. > :04:50.They have raised more than ?2000 through crowdfunding
:04:51. > :04:57.and collected bags of clothes, wheelchairs and other supplies.
:04:58. > :05:00.We've had an awful lot been donated to ourselves -
:05:01. > :05:03.on Saturday I think we took over 100 bags in and as you can see,
:05:04. > :05:06.today we are still loading the van up and still taking bits
:05:07. > :05:11.round Fordham, which is just fantastic.
:05:12. > :05:14.They had nothing at the end of it and at least the local people
:05:15. > :05:17.and the people in surrounding areas have really pulled together
:05:18. > :05:23.Now there's the challenge of finding permanent homes for the residents.
:05:24. > :05:26.The care home had been given a good rating in a recent
:05:27. > :05:31.An investigation into the cause of the fire is still under way,
:05:32. > :05:34.to try to explain why two vulnerable people lost their lives.
:05:35. > :05:49.When it comes to work-life balance, working fewer hours is probably
:05:50. > :05:51.an unaffordable dream for many Londoners.
:05:52. > :05:53.But in other European capitals, it has increased productivity
:05:54. > :05:59.Well, one group campaigning to make a shorter working
:06:00. > :06:09.London is still, by and large, a 9-5 city with most commuters
:06:10. > :06:12.travelling to their 40 hour a week jobs at roughly the same
:06:13. > :06:18.Duncan changed all that many years ago.
:06:19. > :06:21.He volunteered at the Grasshopper's Nursery in Hackney,
:06:22. > :06:25.which qualifies his boys for reduced childcare costs.
:06:26. > :06:28.This was the only way to make it work financially but he says
:06:29. > :06:34.I think there's a big psychological barrier to going flexible
:06:35. > :06:37.or part-time here in London and I know a lot of my friends
:06:38. > :06:39.who work full-time and couldn't conceive of going part-time.
:06:40. > :06:43.And I made that transition about five years ago,
:06:44. > :06:54.But, ultimately, I think having a bit less but having more time
:06:55. > :06:56.for the kids and the children is actually much,
:06:57. > :07:02.In Iceland's capital, a new timetable is being established
:07:03. > :07:04.to make flexible working financially viable for people with
:07:05. > :07:11.It's a system which some economists are championing here.
:07:12. > :07:14.They've started giving their public sector employees a 35 hour week
:07:15. > :07:19.And they are seeing increases in productivity and reduced stress
:07:20. > :07:21.levels and people staying on in the workforce for longer.
:07:22. > :07:23.Then you've got countries like the Netherlands,
:07:24. > :07:25.Belgium, where, actually, shorter working hours are just
:07:26. > :07:28.the norm, where working 20-30 hours a week is much more standard
:07:29. > :07:35.Liana is one of a group of Londoners campaigning for a law change to make
:07:36. > :07:40.As things stand now, employers can say no
:07:41. > :07:48.She says productivity would increase as workers like her feel happier.
:07:49. > :07:51.I think London is a city that is full of really talented
:07:52. > :07:53.people, people who are passionate about an interest, be
:07:54. > :07:55.that the novel they're writing, or the sports they love
:07:56. > :07:58.or the volunteering they do, and a five-day week really limits
:07:59. > :08:04.the amount you can give and develop those passions and talents.
:08:05. > :08:08.Building a new routine around shorter hours is a risk,
:08:09. > :08:13.especially in places like London with such high living costs.
:08:14. > :08:16.But the message from cities where thousands of workers have
:08:17. > :08:18.cut their hours is that quality of life and productivity
:08:19. > :08:33.That's it from me, and Wendy will have the weather
:08:34. > :08:36.for you in just a moment, but we'll leave you tonight
:08:37. > :08:38.with images of how the capital today honoured PC Keith Palmer,
:08:39. > :08:41.who was killed in the line of duty protecting Parliament
:08:42. > :09:05.We've had the public expressions of thanks and honouring,
:09:06. > :09:09.and now the family can do what only the family can do and say
:09:10. > :09:12.their final farewell to Keith, and so we leave them to do
:09:13. > :09:33.Good evening, the weather for the week ahead in London might not be
:09:34. > :09:37.too much like yesterday but if you got outdoor plant it's not too bad.
:09:38. > :09:43.Mostly dry conditions with some sunny spells and temperatures will
:09:44. > :09:47.be average. This was yesterday, perfect blue skies and it looked
:09:48. > :09:51.very similar this morning. I hope you were not fooled into thinking we
:09:52. > :09:57.would have a rerun because there was a drop in temperature, 25 degrees
:09:58. > :10:01.yesterday, 14 today but that is exceptional and this is average. We
:10:02. > :10:07.also had a north-westerly wind blowing in behind and it is still
:10:08. > :10:12.going tonight, not too strong but bringing in that cold air. We also
:10:13. > :10:16.have clear skies so gardeners, be aware, if you are in a spot prone to
:10:17. > :10:20.frost, temperatures might be low enough, three degrees here or there
:10:21. > :10:23.in the countryside around London. A chilly start tomorrow but bright and
:10:24. > :10:28.we will have sunny spells coming and going through the day and still that
:10:29. > :10:34.north-westerly wind but temperatures up a bit from today so we will get
:10:35. > :10:40.to 16 or 17 degrees in central London and it will be dry. That goes
:10:41. > :10:44.for the week ahead, we will have largely cloudy conditions, some
:10:45. > :10:48.sunny spells but dry conditions and a bit breezy, especially on
:10:49. > :10:53.Wednesday. The outlook for Easter weekend, more of the same, some rain
:10:54. > :10:56.on Saturday morning but otherwise mostly dry with some sunny spells
:10:57. > :11:01.and feeling cool at times. If you have plans going out of London, you
:11:02. > :11:10.will have to keep an eye on the National forecast with Matt Taylor.
:11:11. > :11:16.Good evening. Let's cut to the chase the first big holiday weekend of the
:11:17. > :11:20.year is on the horizon and if you consider last weekend as a taster
:11:21. > :11:24.for the summer, this weekend is not looking too bad. It will be a bit
:11:25. > :11:27.cooler, temperatures this week and closer to where they should be at
:11:28. > :11:33.this time of the year thanks to the north-west breed and the reason for
:11:34. > :11:34.that, if we look at the jet stream, coming across the
