0:00:00 > 0:00:00certainly didn't stick by the spirit.
0:00:00 > 0:00:13That's it, so goodbye from me.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Good afternoon, I'm Asad Ahmad.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17London City Airport and a stretch of the Docklands Light Railway
0:00:17 > 0:00:20are likely to be closed all day after a half tonne
0:00:20 > 0:00:25World War II bomb was found in the River Thames.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Residents leaving within a 200 metre exclusion zone of the airport
0:00:28 > 0:00:30were evacuated last night, as the Royal Navy tries
0:00:30 > 0:00:34to make the device safe.
0:00:34 > 0:00:40The airport was supposed to handle 16,000 passengers today.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Tolu Adeoye has been in the area this morning.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44You can probably see the empty runway behind me.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Normally, you would expect planes to be coming and going
0:00:47 > 0:00:48every 20 minutes or so.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51But every flight has been cancelled, after that World War II bomb
0:00:51 > 0:00:53was discovered yesterday morning at 5am at King George V dock,
0:00:53 > 0:00:57next to the airport.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00We understand around 260 arrivals and departures have been cancelled,
0:01:00 > 0:01:04affecting 16,000 passengers.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08The Met and the Royal Navy are working to make this bomb safe.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11It's weighing in at around 500 kilograms.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14We've heard from the CEO of City Airport, Robert Sinclair.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18He's apologised for the inconvenience to passengers.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20There is also a cordon in place, a 200 metre cordon,
0:01:20 > 0:01:21which is affecting local residents.
0:01:21 > 0:01:27Many of them have been moved into emergency accommodation.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32Now, this airport runs domestic and European flights.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Airlines including Flybe, CityJet, Lufthansa having
0:01:34 > 0:01:38to cancel flights today.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42We understand some flights have been moved to neighbouring airports,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Southend, Stansted airports, but still, lots of
0:01:44 > 0:01:45disruption for passengers.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47A number of roads have also been cordoned off.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Motorists are advised to avoid the area.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54The DLR has been suspended between Woolwich, Arsenal and City Airport.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57We understand the Woolwich Ferry is running.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Now, it isn't uncommon to find World War II bombs across London.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02It is unlikely they will explode, but they do pose a risk,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04which is why precautions like these have been taken.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07City Airport believe the schedule should be back up
0:02:07 > 0:02:14and running by tomorrow.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17And just to remind you that you can get all the latest travel news
0:02:17 > 0:02:20affecting that part of London and elsewhere on BBC Radio London
0:02:20 > 0:02:25or take a look at our Twitter feed.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Real animal fur labelled as fake fur has been found on sale
0:02:28 > 0:02:31in London's markets.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35A BBC London investigation found items, which upon
0:02:35 > 0:02:40further examination, contained rabbit hair,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42racoon dog and mink, at stalls where buyers thought
0:02:42 > 0:02:43the fur was fake.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Animal rights campaigners say animal fur is now
0:02:47 > 0:02:49being farmed on such a scale that it's cheaper,
0:02:50 > 0:02:51than its "fake" alternative.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56Alex Bushill investigates.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Our investigation starts here, Camden market.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00One of the most famous markets in the world.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02And with a secret camera, we joined the crowds
0:03:02 > 0:03:04looking for a purchase, a coat with a fur trim.
0:03:04 > 0:03:21This is the coat that we have just bought.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24It even has a label on it saying 100% polyester.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25So, no animal fur here then.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Only one way to be sure.
0:03:28 > 0:03:34Dr Phil Greaves is the country's leading microfibre expert.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37So we asked him to run all the tests needed
0:03:37 > 0:03:38to find out for sure if this
0:03:39 > 0:03:40was real fur or faux fur.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41What is it?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43It's animal fibre, because it's got the structural features that
0:03:43 > 0:03:45only animal fibres have.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48It's got an external margin of scales, internal structure,
0:03:48 > 0:03:50pigment within the fibres.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53It's of two coats, and the fibres taper towards their tip.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54That's 100% certain?
0:03:54 > 0:03:59100%.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02In all, we bought garments from 17 stalls and shops from across London
0:04:02 > 0:04:05from Stratford to Shepherd's Bush market, from bobble hats to key
0:04:05 > 0:04:06rings and shoes with pom-poms.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Again and again, we were sold fake fur that turned out
0:04:09 > 0:04:10actually to be real fur.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25And again in Shepherd's Bush market.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34And then in Stratford, many of those stallholders say that
0:04:36 > 0:04:42at that price it has to be fake fur.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Real fur, they say, is expensive.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44Well, not any more.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47According to the Humane Society, and animal rights charity,
0:04:47 > 0:04:49According to the Humane Society, an animal rights charity,
0:04:49 > 0:04:50that is a common misconception.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53They say, in fact, real fur can now be so much
0:04:53 > 0:04:54cheaper than synthetic fur.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56I think a lot of people think that fur is expensive,
0:04:56 > 0:05:00and would look at a £10 bobble hat and not think for a second
0:05:00 > 0:05:01that it could be real fur.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03And we just encourage people to really be careful not
0:05:03 > 0:05:08to sleepwalk into buying real fur and supporting it.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11We asked everyone who sold us real fur as faux fur
0:05:11 > 0:05:12to explain themselves.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Some simply didn't comment, like these two, so we don't know
0:05:15 > 0:05:17if they themselves were victims duped by their suppliers.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Others, like this lady, said she was shocked
0:05:19 > 0:05:22and that she relied on the label and was assured by her supply
0:05:22 > 0:05:25and that she relied on the label and was assured by her supplier
0:05:25 > 0:05:26it wasn't real fur.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28She has now removed the items from sale.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Which all leads to one inescapable thought.
0:05:30 > 0:05:37If so many of the shops and stalls that sell fur don't really know
0:05:37 > 0:05:39what they're selling, how on earth are we, the consumer,
0:05:39 > 0:05:42to know what the fur trim on our coat or the bobble on our hat
0:05:43 > 0:05:44is really made of?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Alex Bushill, BBC London News.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50And you can see more on that story on Inside Out London.
0:05:50 > 0:05:57Tonight at 7:30pm on BBC One.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01A clutch of Britain's finest actors star in a new film shot,
0:06:01 > 0:06:03in part, on a council housing estate near Tower Bridge.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Finding Your Feet stars Imelda Staunton, Celia Imrie,
0:06:05 > 0:06:12and Joanna Lumley among others and it's about a middle-aged
0:06:12 > 0:06:15snob, let's say, who finds romance in the most unlikely place.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20Wendy Hurrell has more.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23In her posh Surrey home, Sandra puts on a party for her husband's
0:06:23 > 0:06:26retirement, and looks forward to a new life with him.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28I've been planning our retirement for the last 35 years.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Except, those plans come to an abrupt stop.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33What the hell's going on?
0:06:33 > 0:06:34We were just...
0:06:34 > 0:06:36It's not what it looks like, Sandra.
0:06:36 > 0:06:42So, Imelda Staunton's character moves in
0:06:42 > 0:06:45with her sister, living in quite different surroundings on an East
0:06:45 > 0:06:46London council estate.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47KIDS SHOUT.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49How important do you think it is that films such
0:06:49 > 0:06:51as this one are made, where there are central
0:06:51 > 0:06:54female characters of a more mature age?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56You've cornered the market, quite frankly.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58LAUGHTER.
0:06:58 > 0:07:04I'm trying to get into her audience. I need her audience!
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I watched again one of my most favourite films, All About Eve,
0:07:07 > 0:07:11and I saw Bette Davis being interviewed before,
0:07:11 > 0:07:14and she was saying that her life was being, you know,
0:07:14 > 0:07:20paralleled in the film.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Because a woman of 40...
0:07:23 > 0:07:26And she talks about she'd just turned 40 three months ago.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27That's it.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30For women, for actresses, in those days, that was it.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33And so, I'm thrilled to be able to say that I think
0:07:33 > 0:07:34things are changing.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36I really do.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Finding Your Feet is in cinemas from next Friday.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Go on Sandra, give it to him!
0:07:45 > 0:07:46Wendy Hurrell, BBC London News.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53They must have had so much fun making that film.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Now the weather with Kate.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Good afternoon, it was a cold start this morning, people waking up
0:07:58 > 0:08:00to quite a widespread frost, but also waking up to this,
0:08:00 > 0:08:03clear blue sky and sunshine.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Not much cloud throughout the course of this morning.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08We will see a bit more bubbling up into this afternoon,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11some decent, sunny spells, but it will still feel rather cold.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12It should stay dry.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15There is a slim chance you may get a bit of a shower
0:08:15 > 0:08:18and some thicker cloud, could be wintery over higher ground.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Most places staying dry.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Temperatures getting up to eight Celsius.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Overnight, that shower risk continues as it
0:08:25 > 0:08:27works its way up from the south.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29It could feel wintry.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Lengthy, clear spells will mean the temperatures will get cold again
0:08:32 > 0:08:33with a minimum of 0 Celsius.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36A bright start for some, but quite quickly that cloud
0:08:36 > 0:08:38will move in and with it, the rain.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Turning into a rather wet and breezy Tuesday,
0:08:40 > 0:08:42not very pleasant at all and not feeling especially warm, either.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45The maximum between three and six Celsius.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49That rain will clear away overnight on Tuesday and we will get a clear
0:08:49 > 0:08:53start for Wednesday morning.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Chilly but gradually this front arrives through Wednesday afternoon
0:08:55 > 0:08:57and we will see it turn rather wet and breezy.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00All change, though, for Thursday, some slightly milder air moves in.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Temperatures getting up to 11 Celsius.
0:09:01 > 0:09:07We should see the return of some sunshine for Thursday, as well.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11That's it.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Victoria is here at 6:30pm tonight with our early evening news.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Plenty more on our Facebook page and Twitter feed throughout the day.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Until later, I hope you enjoy your afternoon.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Goodbye.
