:00:11. > :00:16.The Teenage Cancer Trust has condemned the secondary ticketing

:00:17. > :00:19.website viagogo for reselling tickets to Ed Sheeran's

:00:20. > :00:24.upcoming charity concert at the Royal Albert Hall.

:00:25. > :00:28.They're up for ?5,000 each, and the Trust says only young people

:00:29. > :00:31.with cancer should profit from the concert.

:00:32. > :00:35.Well, Ed Sheeran's manager has told BBC London that the singer agrees.

:00:36. > :00:55.# You know I want your love... He's currently number one in the official

:00:56. > :01:00.UK charts. And number three. So it's not surprising that Ed Sheeran fans

:01:01. > :01:05.are willing to pay huge sums of money to go and see him live. But

:01:06. > :01:08.secondary ticketing site viagogo has come under fire for reselling

:01:09. > :01:14.tickets to a charity concert in aid of teenage cancer patients. The

:01:15. > :01:19.website shows a number of tickets to the gig, ranging from a couple of

:01:20. > :01:24.hundred pounds, all the way up to ?5,000 for the best seats. Once you

:01:25. > :01:27.add in the booking fee and VAT, that comes out at ?6,700 for just one

:01:28. > :01:32.ticket. Despite the Teenage Cancer Trust saying that ID will be

:01:33. > :01:36.required at the door, viagogo are showing that there are ways around

:01:37. > :01:42.this. The Teenage Cancer Trust, who are hosting the gig next month at

:01:43. > :01:48.the Royal Albert Hall, said in a statement... I am Ed Sheeran, and

:01:49. > :01:52.this is day one of the Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert

:01:53. > :01:55.Hall... The manager for Ed Sheeran told me that the singer agrees. So

:01:56. > :02:00.what does the campaign against online ticket touting think? I think

:02:01. > :02:05.most people would be quite sickened by the idea of big profiteering on

:02:06. > :02:09.the back of a charity like this. We have got a market now which is

:02:10. > :02:12.fundamentally quite broken, with ticket touts able to block purchase

:02:13. > :02:18.huge numbers of tickets, and then they can resell them anonymously on

:02:19. > :02:21.these platforms. We contacted viagogo for a response, but they

:02:22. > :02:26.have not replied. With the secondary ticketing industry worth an

:02:27. > :02:28.estimated ?1.4 billion a year, it doesn't look like it will be going

:02:29. > :02:31.away any time soon. A top secret spy base in north

:02:32. > :02:34.London, used to great effect during the Second World War,

:02:35. > :02:37.is to partly become a museum, after campaigners saved it

:02:38. > :02:39.from being turned into flats. Trent Park in Enfield WAS a stately

:02:40. > :02:42.home, before being used Ayshea Buksh has been

:02:43. > :02:45.there and spoken to the last As a stately home, it hosted

:02:46. > :02:55.royalty and aristocrats. But during World War II,

:02:56. > :02:58.Trent Park in Enfield held captured Locals all knew about the existence

:02:59. > :03:06.of the PoW Cockfosters camp. Some would even speak

:03:07. > :03:08.to the prisoners at But what they didn't know

:03:09. > :03:14.is that they were teams of intelligence operatives secretly

:03:15. > :03:17.working in the basement. One of them was Jewish

:03:18. > :03:19.refugee Eric Mark. He was recruited at Trent Park

:03:20. > :03:24.as a secret listener. I was glad I had a job

:03:25. > :03:29.in which I hoped I could give information to the RAF,

:03:30. > :03:35.for instance, to kill that lot. The buildings and grounds

:03:36. > :03:39.were all bugged, so when prisoners relaxed, Eric, now aged 95,

:03:40. > :03:43.could eavesdrop into their They started talking

:03:44. > :03:52.about a place called Peenemunde. Peenemunde was where the Germans

:03:53. > :03:58.were doing their atomic research. The land was once part

:03:59. > :04:06.of Middlesex university, but was sold off to developers,

:04:07. > :04:09.who planned to build mostly But after a long campaign

:04:10. > :04:16.by locals and historians, they've now agreed to keep part

:04:17. > :04:19.of it as a public museum. There are some major hurdles

:04:20. > :04:23.to cross - like I say, getting Enfield Council to approve

:04:24. > :04:26.it, getting a good lease from the developers,

:04:27. > :04:27.and obviously raising Berkeley Homes say they'll restore

:04:28. > :04:32.the building to its former glory and create a beautiful setting

:04:33. > :04:35.for 262 homes. And Eric's secret work

:04:36. > :04:37.will finally be given And after a dry night,

:04:38. > :04:49.tomorrow is going to be nice again. Dry, with passing cloud

:04:50. > :04:51.and bright spells. Feeling mild for

:04:52. > :04:54.February at 13 Celsius. That's it from BBC

:04:55. > :05:18.London news for now - It has been a mild day to day and

:05:19. > :05:23.some of us have seen some spring sunshine. Blue skies and sunshine

:05:24. > :05:27.here above the River Thames. It has not been sunny everywhere, though.

:05:28. > :05:32.We have got more cloud around across more northerly parts of the country.

:05:33. > :05:35.Some rain to come tonight across Scotland and northern England, all

:05:36. > :05:39.clearing away by the time we get to Sunday morning. And it will be quite

:05:40. > :05:42.chilly start to Sunday, particularly in the south-east corner, where

:05:43. > :05:47.there could be some mist and fog first thing. Away from the south and

:05:48. > :05:53.south-east, it is a milder start to the day. Still quite cloudy on

:05:54. > :06:01.Sunday in the west. For central and eastern areas, a different picture

:06:02. > :06:04.on Sunday, with more sunshine. Temperatures in London for instance

:06:05. > :06:05.getting up to about 13. We
