Good afternoon and welcome to BBC London News.

It's been almost ten years since Surrey student

Meredith Kercher was found dead in Perugia in Italy.

Along with Amanda Knox, Raffaele Sollecito was twice

Today, he's talked exclusively to the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire

Programme about the debt he's been left with following the long legal

Raffaele Sollecito arrives at the Victoria Derbyshire

In 2015, Italy's top appeal court found him and Amanda Knox innocent

She was 21, a student from Caulston, in Surrey,

Over the next ten years, while her family looked for answers,

for answers, Sollecito fought to prove his innocence.

There are many victims in this case and there

are Amanda's parents, my parents, all our families.

Of course, Meredith Kercher is the first victim,

but there are many others made by the prosecution mistakes.

The legal battle, he says, left him 400,000 euros in debt

and now he's seeking compensation from the Italian Government.

What is the maximum that you could expect to receive?

We have the maximum, which is 516,000 euros.

But, of course, we have all the right to claim.

But this is not even enough to compensate towards what my family

Because the past ten years of this ordeal, of this nightmare.

Talking about Meredith's family, he said...

I am sad they repeat what the prosecution says

because the real facts about this murder are in the said documents.

You can read them and see the reality of this case.

It is completely different from what the prosecution wanted to make

people believe. An investigation is continuing

after the bodies of a couple and their young son were discovered

at a remote farmhouse in Surrey. They've not been

formally identified, but neighbours have named them

as Tiago and Adriana Nunes, and their son, who's

also called Tiago. It's not known what caused the fire

at the property near Reigate, but it's believed to have

started on Monday night. Passengers using the Central

and Waterloo and City lines are facing disruption all day today

because of strike action The Central line has been suspended

east of Leytonstone, The RMT Union are walking out for 24

hours, in a dispute over plans to move some train

operators between depots. My message to the trade unions is

let's talk about it, let's resolve any differences we have. Because

when there is a strike, everyone is a loser. Strikes are a sign of

failure and I am determined to make sure that London will prosper from

an excellent transport system. Next - Rye Lane, in Peckham,

was once known as the Oxford And the highlight was

the old Holdron's Department Store. These days, only the Art

Deco building remains. But in spite of years

of disrepair, a surprising Revealing its

long-forgotten history. Khan's Bargains, Peckham,

but in the 1930s and 1940s, Holdron's department store, one

of the finest shops in the capital. When it closed, decades

of quick repairs and low suspended ceilings took over,

until Mr Khan arrived. And I don't like the

suspended ceiling anyway. It was so dark, it was just

above these shelves, And the way it was designed,

the lighting, the mirrors, And when those ceiling tiles came

down, this is what they discovered. An Art Deco vaulted ceiling,

a thousand glass bricks, Well, what we've got is a really

fine Art Deco ceiling... But with the help of local

architect Benedict, the light This was designed in the early

Modernist style to bring daylight and ventilation into the heart

of a very deepland department store. A thousand glass lenses,

bringing daylight into the middle It's a really bold work of early

Modernist architecture, And this local decorator was one

of those who helped. Nicknamed the Michelangelo

of Peckham for spending months Well, some of the people

call me Superman! And some call me

the hero of the day! Bringing the old store back

to its former splendour. It's the fourth round of

the FA Cup this weekend, with a host of teams from the lower

leagues getting their chance to shine against the giants

of the Premier League. Among those out to cause a shock

are League Two Wycombe, Chris Slegg has been at the Wycombe

training ground this morning. Wycombe Wanderers through to the FA

Cup fourth round for the second time in their 130 year history, a huge

prize awaits because they have drawn Tottenham. They travel to White Hart

Lane this Saturday to try to cause a huge shock. With me is Luca, Joe and

Sam. Joe, is there any chance you think somehow you cannot Tottenham

out of the FA Cup? Yes, we have to go believing we have a chance or

there is no point turning up. We have seen it in the past, we saw

Liverpool draw with Plymouth in the last round and we have to go there

full of confidence, we have won 16 games and hopefully we will pull off

an upset. In the last round, you were heavy favourites, taking on

Stourbridge, and they did ever so well but you came through. Do you

see that as inspiration that you could cause the same problems for

Tottenham that they nearly caused you? Of course, they cause an upset

beating Northampton so we knew it would be a tough game but if we take

that mentality of being good enough, we will give them a good game and

like you said, 16 unbeaten and full of confidence. So we will go with a

great attitude and hoping to get the win. You were only seven when

Wycombe got to the fourth round last, how do you feel about what you

have achieved so far as the team and watch chance is due give yourself

this weekend? Yes, 16 unbeaten, it has been an incredible run and we

will look to keep that record going. It will be tough but we are

underdogs and everybody loves an underdog in the FA Cup, we are

looking forward to it. One does indeed enjoy an underdog and I am

sure Wycombe will have plenty of support when they take on Tottenham,

a three o'clock kick-off on Saturday.

Chilly weather for training and for watching football, we hope it warms

up over the weekend. Time for the weather now,

with Elizabeth Rizzini. We have had some snow towards the

North and the West. Still some mist and fog but not a problem today, but

grey and low cloud and a chilly south-easterly wind makes it feel as

if it is subzero for the rest of the afternoon, although in theory,

temperatures will be between zero and three Celsius only in Central

London. Feeling colder and perhaps late breakfast towards the South

East, and clear skies for the first half of the night. Temperatures

below freezing in rural areas, showers and more cloud for the

second part of the night. There may be ice on the roads and pavements

into tomorrow morning so watch out for that. The winds tomorrow will

shift direction to more of a westerly. Some milder air. And

outbreaks of rain through the afternoon. Just some rain and a lot

of grey cloud, not a pleasant stay and it will feel milder, 7-8 C.

Milder over the weekend, feeling cold, quite unpleasant with the rain

and heavy showers around on Saturday. Brighter spells and on

Sunday, we start off wet and finished dry.

That's all from us on the lunchtime team.

Do tune in later, though, for our 6:30pm programme.
