:00:11. > :00:18.Pro-brexit MPs in the capital have hit back against a campaign to oust

:00:19. > :00:22.One MP being targetted is Labour's Kate Hoey -

:00:23. > :00:25.who's also under pressure from the Lib Dems.

:00:26. > :00:28.They've produced an election leaflet of her morphing

:00:29. > :00:32.into the ex-UKIP leader, Nigel Farage, which she's called

:00:33. > :00:38.Here's our political editor Tim Donovan.

:00:39. > :00:45.Remember this, when the in and out campaigns took to the Thames? And

:00:46. > :00:49.these two Brexiteers were pictured side by side? The Lib Dems do. I

:00:50. > :00:54.think sometimes this nasty stuff back fires. They're now showing the

:00:55. > :01:00.Labour MP for Vauxhall morphing into the ex-Ukip leader. I would say

:01:01. > :01:05.that's a typical Lib Dem kind of poster the way they play elections.

:01:06. > :01:10.They do try to always look at doing things in a very nasty,

:01:11. > :01:14.confrontational way. I haven't seen a policy yet. Her views on Europe

:01:15. > :01:19.have hardly been a secret she says. She currently has a 12,000 majority.

:01:20. > :01:23.The area voted strongly for Remain and the Lib Dems smell a Brexit

:01:24. > :01:28.backlash. I think it really connects with people. The candidate says the

:01:29. > :01:32.leaflet just points out the obvious. Kate Hoey says it's typical Liberal

:01:33. > :01:36.Democrats nasty and confrontational. I don't see this as nasty. You know,

:01:37. > :01:42.Kate Hoey chose to campaign with Nigel Farage. That was her choice.

:01:43. > :01:47.She could have campaigned with Gisela Stuart and got on the bus

:01:48. > :01:51.with Boris Johnson. But she didn't. She stepped away from the mainstream

:01:52. > :01:55.Leave campaign and chose to stand side by side with Nigel Farage. It's

:01:56. > :02:00.not just the Lib Dems after her, she's one of 20 MPs being targeted

:02:01. > :02:05.by anti-Brexit campaign groups launching today. For a lot of my

:02:06. > :02:10.constituents, the referendum is over, we're leaving. We want to get

:02:11. > :02:16.a brilliant deal. We want to get on with starting to live in a country

:02:17. > :02:20.that is able to now control its own way of life. She's not alone in

:02:21. > :02:24.London. This is three of the Tory MPs who voted for Brexit being

:02:25. > :02:30.targeted. The campaigners are also urging people to vote against this

:02:31. > :02:35.quartet, including Iain Duncan Smith, the former Conservative

:02:36. > :02:38.leader. One of those Tories in the campaigner's sights says he's not

:02:39. > :02:42.bothered. Any targeting can be damaging. I have a track record for

:02:43. > :02:46.my area. These are an organisation who are coming in from nowhere and

:02:47. > :02:50.then seeking to impose their views on the people here. It hasn't taken

:02:51. > :02:54.long for some clear tactics to emerge, but who can know yet exactly

:02:55. > :02:58.how Brexit will influence this election.

:02:59. > :03:00.With more on the election Tolu Adayoye joins me.

:03:01. > :03:04.And news of a possible political come back?

:03:05. > :03:10.Yes, there had been speculation about this. Tonight we had

:03:11. > :03:13.confirmation from the Conservative Party association that Zac Goldsmith

:03:14. > :03:16.will be one of the candidates in their short list going for the

:03:17. > :03:20.general election. Now he famously stood down in October over the

:03:21. > :03:23.Government's plans to expand Heathrow. He then stood as an

:03:24. > :03:26.independent in a by-election before Christmas, but he lost out to the

:03:27. > :03:32.Liberal Democrats. It really wasn't his year because he had already lost

:03:33. > :03:35.out to the mayor in the election in March. Many will be wondering why

:03:36. > :03:38.he's putting himself forward for this, given that the Government

:03:39. > :03:43.hasn't changed its position on the heath row expansion. Have we heard

:03:44. > :03:46.from Zac Goldsmith? We haven't heard from him yet. But we have more

:03:47. > :03:50.information on the other two candidates. They are Luke Parker, an

:03:51. > :03:56.IT specialist, who stood for the Conservatives in the Brent north in

:03:57. > :04:00.2015. And Laura Farris, a barrister and former journalist. The party

:04:01. > :04:05.members will meet tomorrow to make their decision. They will think

:04:06. > :04:07.carefully about whether Zac Goldsmith is the right man for the

:04:08. > :04:09.job. An investigation's been

:04:10. > :04:11.launched into a suspected Heathrow parking scam,

:04:12. > :04:15.where hundred of tickets were issued The owners of one vehicle say they'd

:04:16. > :04:22.given their car to a meet-and-greet parking company and were told it

:04:23. > :04:25.would be stored securely. Instead, it was left

:04:26. > :04:37.in a public car park. Back home after a 14-hour flight,

:04:38. > :04:40.Julia and David O'Neill are about to collect their car from a

:04:41. > :04:44.meet-and-greet parking company. What they don't know and what the company

:04:45. > :04:49.don't mention is that while they've been away, their car has spent time

:04:50. > :04:54.here in a council run pay and display car park, a 15 minute drive

:04:55. > :04:59.from Heathrow ah, long with dozens of other cars racking up parking

:05:00. > :05:02.tickets. I can't believe it, our car has been left here overnight. After

:05:03. > :05:06.meeting them off their flight, I'm taking Julia and David to where

:05:07. > :05:09.their car has been spending its time. Here we are. What do you think

:05:10. > :05:14.this afternoon? Yeah, I wouldn't leave my car on a car park like this

:05:15. > :05:19.in the daytime, let alone overnight. When I saw their car it had one

:05:20. > :05:23.ticket on it. When I meet them they have no clue they might be getting

:05:24. > :05:28.fined. I can't believe. It I can't believe my car has been left here in

:05:29. > :05:34.this unsecure car park overnight possibly for two weeks. Cannot

:05:35. > :05:37.believe it. It's It's had parking tickets on it apparently, but

:05:38. > :05:40.they've gone. We'll see if the council contacts us and gives us a

:05:41. > :05:46.parking ticket. While they were on holiday, we paid a visit to the car

:05:47. > :05:50.park. I've counted 99 tickets on around 50 cars, some with up to five

:05:51. > :05:54.on the windscreen. That begs the question, what are they doing here?

:05:55. > :05:57.This is a private Heathrow car park, which has been overflowing. So what

:05:58. > :06:01.they've done is they've come and parked all their cars over here and

:06:02. > :06:05.they've gone. That's it. They haven't returned. The wardens have

:06:06. > :06:11.been giving tickets every single day. Hillingdon Council are

:06:12. > :06:14.investigating whether 275 parking tickets, costing ?60 each, could

:06:15. > :06:17.have been given to drivers believed to have used meet-and-greet parking

:06:18. > :06:22.companies. In many of the cars here, you can

:06:23. > :06:26.clearly see tickets linking them to Heathrow, in one the driver's name,

:06:27. > :06:30.phone number and flight details were left on display for all to see.

:06:31. > :06:35.Julia and David want to know who's going to be liable for any tickets.

:06:36. > :06:39.They say in the paperwork here that it would be kept in a secure car

:06:40. > :06:44.park compound and I'm afraid this certainly isn't. If you had known

:06:45. > :06:49.this is where your car was going to be? Would you have used the service?

:06:50. > :06:53.Definitely not. I could have parked it here myself. The council say

:06:54. > :06:56.everyone who receives a parking ticket has the right to appeal. If

:06:57. > :07:00.they do cancel the tickets, the worry is it will encourage parking

:07:01. > :07:04.firms to do this again, if they don't, drivers like Julia and David

:07:05. > :07:07.may get hit with hundreds of pounds worth of fines.

:07:08. > :07:10.Environmentalists are warning that there are signs of a drought -

:07:11. > :07:14.starting in parts of Hertfordshire - following below average rainfall.

:07:15. > :07:17.This is the River Colne which would normally be about three

:07:18. > :07:21.There are concerns about the impact on wildlife, and people

:07:22. > :07:25.are being urged to use water carefully.

:07:26. > :07:27.Now to a dance company with a difference.

:07:28. > :07:30.It's the first studio to provide regular opportunities for people

:07:31. > :07:34.with disabilities to dance with professionals, and it's just

:07:35. > :07:38.The finalists trained for weeks to take part

:07:39. > :07:40.in the competition - many of them having

:07:41. > :07:52.It's a big day for jar. After five weeks of dance training from

:07:53. > :07:56.scratch, she's about to take to the stage at her local theatre in

:07:57. > :08:01.Stratford with her professional partner? More on this side? Having

:08:02. > :08:05.the Strictly treatment is giving her a chance to think about her dad, who

:08:06. > :08:14.sadly died recently. She's dancing to his favourite Frank Sinatra song

:08:15. > :08:19.and feels he's urging her on. He's looking down on me and saying, "Well

:08:20. > :08:23.done girl, stick at it." She'll have to wait while her competitors take

:08:24. > :08:26.to the floor. It's the first time a programme of ballroom and Latin

:08:27. > :08:30.training has been set up for people with learning difficulties in the

:08:31. > :08:33.capital and today's Strictly competition is testament to how far

:08:34. > :08:39.the group has come. People were regularly saying to us, why can't we

:08:40. > :08:44.participate, we want somewhere we can do this. We decided to set up

:08:45. > :08:48.the studio, London's first ever dedicated company that provides

:08:49. > :08:52.opportunities for disabled and non-disabled people to learn dance

:08:53. > :08:56.in an inclusive environment. Now it's Sarah's big chance in front of

:08:57. > :09:03.a panel of judges and she's taken to it like a natural, making her

:09:04. > :09:08.partner proud. # That's life

:09:09. > :09:12.# That's what all the people say She was always 45 minutes before the

:09:13. > :09:16.lesson, waiting for me on the studio, watching the videos, really

:09:17. > :09:19.precise to do it. At the same time, I think she has this kind of, OK,

:09:20. > :09:23.I'm performing now, people are looking at me. She's not shy at all.

:09:24. > :09:33.That helps to become the performance a little bit more bigger. Good,

:09:34. > :09:36.confident. No mistakes, anything like that. The Strictly experience

:09:37. > :09:41.has gone so well, dance teachers plan to travel all over the capital

:09:42. > :09:46.with Sarah and the others determined to keep dancing.

:09:47. > :09:49.I'll say goodnight now and leave you with Elizabeth Rizzini to see

:09:50. > :09:55.how the weather's shaping up over the next few days.

:09:56. > :10:01.We've got some showers around actually. It's a welcome rain after

:10:02. > :10:05.the very dry month that we've had so far. This is the picture of the

:10:06. > :10:12.thunder cloud out towards western London. I took that picture from the

:10:13. > :10:15.roof camp earlier on this evening. Another shower cloud forming earlier

:10:16. > :10:20.on in Hertfordshire. There'll be more April showers around tomorrow.

:10:21. > :10:25.Spells of sunshine too. We're still in the colder air as well. The

:10:26. > :10:28.showers are tracking down from the northerlyier this evening. They are

:10:29. > :10:32.confined to Eastern areas tonight. Sleet over the Kent downs. Towards

:10:33. > :10:35.the west, this is where we could see a touch of frost maybe into tomorrow

:10:36. > :10:42.morning underneath clearer skies. A chilly start to the day. With

:10:43. > :10:45.sunshine and the showers get moving quicker today. They will be heavy.

:10:46. > :10:51.There could be thunder and hail at times. This will feel quite cold in

:10:52. > :10:53.a bracing northerly wind. Highs of 12 degrees and a widespread frost on

:10:54. > :10:58.Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Here's the outlook for the

:10:59. > :11:00.next few days then: Temperatures starting to recover by the time we

:11:01. > :11:12.get to Thursday afternoon. Good evening. Another cold night

:11:13. > :11:17.lies ahead after what was a chilly day for swathes of the UK. This is

:11:18. > :11:22.the Highlands of Scotland. 25th of April and lying snow. Even snow

:11:23. > :11:26.further south, temporary accumulations in Staffordshire. Just

:11:27. > :11:31.down the road in Dudley, it was sunny spells and rain showers. A

:11:32. > :11:35.real mixed bag, rain, hail, sleet and some snow. All those showers

:11:36. > :11:39.moving south on that cold northerly wind, which is still with us

:11:40. > :11:41.overnight. It is going to be another frosty night. The skies are clear on

:11:42. > :11:42.the western
