I'm Alice Salfield. news teams where you are. | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
The murder of a Palestinian cartoonist, who was shot in London, | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
a political cartoonist for a Kuwaiti newspaper, was shot in the neck | :00:21. | :00:29. | |
as he walked to his office in Knightsbridge. | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
Dan Freedman is in West London where it happened. | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
Dan, the Met are hoping an image they're releasing will help | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
Yes. This is the image the Metropolitan Police released today | :00:39. | :00:50. | |
of the man they believe was responsible for Mr Al-Ali's death. | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
It has opinion aged 30 years artificially. You can see what they | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
think he would look like today. Mr Al-Ali, a political cartoonist for a | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
Kuwaiti newspaper was shot here in Knightsbridge on 22nd July 1987. | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
No-one's ever been convicted of his myrrhed. The gun used was only found | :01:11. | :01:18. | |
two years later. His tatter cal cartoons which featured a character, | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
you can see those on your screen now, poked funity Palestinian regime | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
which they got quite upset about. He'd received a number of death | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
threats in the run up to his murder. People who might not have felt | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
confident at the time, in relation to coming forward, I'd encourage | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
them now to speak to us. The police in particular do not | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
close such inquiries. At the time of his death, Middle | :01:40. | :01:53. | |
East commentators Sir miced this could be the work of Palestinian | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
liberation organisation, the PLO, who were known to quash anyone who | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
would condemn their tactics. Of course, the family believe there | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
might have been Israeli involvement as well, the secret service Mossad | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
being mentioned. In the eighties, police named a suspect. The family | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
want to revisit that. What is clear amongst this uncertainty is this was | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
a political assassination. While they look for that victim, they will | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
be looking along those lines in terms of who committed this time 30 | :02:29. | :02:29. | |
years ago. Dan, thank you. A cyclist has been killed | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
after a collision involving a van The driver was arrested | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
on suspicion of causing death The man, who's believed | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
to have been in his 30s, was killed in Camden Road in Lower | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
Holloway just after 6am. Four months after a 14-metre | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
sinkhole opened up on a high street there's criticism over how long | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
it's taking to repair. The road is still closed, | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
affecting buses, access to people's homes | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
and businesses. Locals say there's also been a lack | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
of information about what caused it. This is High Street Green in Hemel, | :03:04. | :03:17. | |
a major road through the town and normally absolutely teeming with | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
traffic. On May 12th, a small hole appeared. Chen engineers | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
investigated, they found underneath was a huge tunnel-shaped sinkhole at | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
least eight metres deep and six metres long. Four months on and no | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
work's been done to repair it and people round here haven't been told | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
what caused it or when it will be repaired. They're furious. I pass | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
here every day on my way into work. At the beginning of the week I walk | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
down here and over the past go or three months I've seen nothing being | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
done. The last time was about three months ago when they were putting | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
the fences up. This is the state of it now. Often enough, you'll see | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
kids trying to throw sticks into the hole and having a look. It becomes | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
slightly dangerous. I became seriously worried a couple of weeks | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
ago To find it is pushing towards the flats. This is a sinkhole that | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
opened up in Hemel on 2014 on the site of an old mine cavity. | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
Hertfordshire County Council says it is trying to find out how this | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
sinkhole appeared and when it will be repaired. They admit nearly four | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
months on they don't know how the ground sank here or when residents | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
will have their road open General. A city full of drones, electric | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
vehicles and under-used roads That's one vision of how | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
London will look in 2050. As a part of our new series, we're | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
looking at the future of London. Today, our correspondent | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
Tom Edwards looks at transport. Could flying cars be the future of | :04:52. | :05:06. | |
transport in cities? This is the latest sky if I Braid-runners film. | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
Or could jet packs revolutionise travel? Probably not. There are | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
plenty of of ideas that don't make it. Remember this conversation in | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
three or four years' time, every... This is more likely. Mark has an | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
electric car. The plan is for all vehicles in London to be zero | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
emissions by 2050. Our kids will not know what an engine sounds like. An | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
rev in years to come. There is no reason why people won't go electric. | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
You can see with the upsell of electric cars it will be the way | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
forward. The big challenge for city planners will be a growing | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
population and increasing demands on limited space. It is predicted in 25 | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
years' time, the population of London will be 10.5 million. That | :05:57. | :06:04. | |
will mean increased investment in infrastructure, Crossrail 2, | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
Crossrail 3, perhaps even Crossrail 4. At the transport museum there are | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
all kinds of concepts of the future. These are T bottoms. They designate | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
road space. This car stores while in the in use. Could drones play a | :06:22. | :06:29. | |
part? In the 1900s they thought commutes would be be done by air. | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
Mobility by a service means you use apps and smartphones to call up | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
vehicles to where you are. Some people say that means in the future | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
we won't need to vetty own cars. The question is, what does that mean for | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
the capital's streets? We are already seeing trials of driverless | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
vehicles in the capital. Will autumnation make the roads, buses | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
and trains run safer and quicker? What would that mean if there are | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
fewer vehicles? One interesting statistic is the average car today | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
is parked for 95% of its lifetime. Most cars are hardly ever used. You | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
see that in London. The streets are filled with parked cars. In the | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
future, if we stop buying the cars we don't need and only use mobility | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
as a service, it could be we free up a lot of road space for other uses | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
whether that's walking, cycling, more cafes, shops, restaurants. You | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
foment it. There's room on board for a passenger. This is another idea | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
that didn't make it. Nonetheless, innovation and investment will be | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
key for the future of London's transport. It would certainly make | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
the morning comUtah bit more interesting. After a warm but not to | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
sunny start, let's check on the weather. | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
Another very warm day today. We are seeing a bit more in the way of | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
cloud. A stunning picture here captured by one of our weather | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
watchers in plum stead. You can see there is quite a lot of cloud | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
through the next few hours. Some breaks for brightness and sunshine | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
but the odd outbreak of rain. Temperatures getting up to 27 | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
Celsius for South East London. But the further north-west you go, the | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
lower those temperatures are. Still up to about 24 degrees. We may see a | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
bit of thundery activity later on as well. Through the night, further | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
outbreaks of rain. More in the way of cloud. A northerly breeze picking | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
up. Temperatures about 13 or 14 Celsius. Tomorrow will feel very | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
different. Quite a lot of cloud around. There will be some | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
brightness. Even some sunny spells A fair bit of rain as well. It will be | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
fairly heavy at types. Temperatures only up to 16 Celsius in some spots | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
and 14 in other areas. It will feel very different. By Thursday morning, | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
we'll see the back of that rain. It should brighten up to sunny spells. | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
A largely dry day with a few showers around. Friday a similar picture. | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
Looking like a fairly fine weekend. Those temperatures where they should | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
be for the time of year, closer to 20 Celsius. | :09:07. | :09:07. | |
That's all we've got time for this lunchtime. | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
But hopefully you can join Asad at 6.30pm this evening. | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
Until then, as always, you can stay up to date through our website. | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
For now though, from all of us on the team, | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
thanks for watching and have a lovely day. | :09:20. | :09:22. |
