Sonja Jessup is here and can tell us more -

No, we don't, all we know is they were both in the car waiting at

traffic lights around 9am, a man came up to them and threw some is a

corrosive substance through the window, went round to the other side

band through some more, they tried to drive off, crashed into a fence,

the man ran off. Resch has been talking about what happened to her

on Twitter, posting pictures of her injuries, I think we should warn

viewers they may find these upsetting, she said the pain was

excruciating, I was struggling to close the window, my cousin

struggled to get us away, is my clothes burn away in front of me.

She described trying to flag other drivers to help, we understood it

took around 45 minutes for someone to stop and take them to hospital.

Howard they both? They have been left with life changing injuries,

severe injuries to their face and body, Jamil has been and had been

placed in an induced coma, he is now out of that, ration, I think we have

a picture of her before has sound two skin grafts. A fundraising page

has been set up to support them, the friend who created it says Russian

being provided by the current two aircraft, landings all over Essex

and Hertfordshire, it would be great to see people supporting us.

Now to Somerset house and something that will appeal

Scented installations are showcasing the perfume

Of course, it's going to be difficult to convey the essence

of this exhibition - smell-ovision hasn't

But we've sent Wendy Hurrell to try...

Challenge accepted. Easy at first because you probably know these

ones. The rest of the exhibition is ten mysterious modern perfumes and

it's left to you to describe what they smell of. I think maybe like my

dad after he's been working on the allotment. With the herbs. Roadworks

and stuff like that. Yes, individual knows will come up with wildly

different interpretations. Could be close, I'm not really sure. It's

luxury. Making me think of orchards, something soapy as well. Soapy

orchards? Indeed. Once you've had a good sniff you can write down your

thoughts on one of these cards and compare them to do. Real beach

fragrance repealed later. Picking out the particular note is harder

than you might imagine. I don't think I've got the nose that you are

supposed to have. Some throw you off the scent completely. Kids toys, it

actually smells like plastic toys. My grannies house. Well actually

this sent by a bad boy on the perfumery block... Notes on a mill

Julie, dirty, like the scent of pyrotechnics in the air from like,

fog machines, there is a bit of a smokiness to it. An unconventional

concoction but connoisseurs are impressed by his creations, not to

mention his attire. You've totally out blink me. That's always the

goal. I like to out blink everyone. At the end of the exhibition is a

place where you can find out her perfume is made, the individual

ingredients that go into it and the ladies in lab coats are perfumers

and they explain how you'd make a cent out of these ingredients.

Perfume is personal, not everything will be to your liking. But you can

have a sniff at Somerset house until mid-September. Still wondering about

the roadworks. Now the weather with

Georgina Burnett. Best to make the most of any

sunshine throughout them -- throughout the afternoon, it will be

different for the next few days. This was captured by one of our

weather Watchers, beautiful picture of flowers basking in the sunshine,

we'll see more of that this afternoon, the sunshine baby hazy at

times, light breeze, temperatures reaching the mid-20s. Heading

through this evening we see cloud all doing through the night, feeling

quite humid as well, mostly dry but come the early hours, some showers

coming through. Temperatures rise getting down to 14 or 15 degrees,

tomorrow the temperatures down but probably feeling pretty muggy all

the same, quite a lot of cloud around, brightness confined to first

thing. Some showers and prolonged outbreaks of rain, quite heavy at

times, perhaps even thundery, temperatures subdued, were likely to

see the teams, we may scrape 20 tomorrow. Wednesday deeply have a

fair bit of wet weather in the morning, looking like it will dry up

later in the day, some showers around on Thursday, northerly wind

picking up towards the end of the day, staying with us for Friday. It

should be drier and brighter on Friday, a handful of showers around,

feeling pretty chilly with that win. Slightly better on Saturday, back to

wet and windy weather on Sunday. Riz Lateef will be here

with our 6:30 evening programme. But for now, from us all,

a very good afternoon.
