Goodbye. at Ten - now on BBC One its time

:00:00.:00:12.

A woman from Hampstead who a year ago was detained in Iran

:00:13.:00:18.

on 'spying' related charges has described how she's

:00:19.:00:21.

desperate to be back in London with her family.

:00:22.:00:23.

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is serving a five year sentence,

:00:24.:00:26.

Her husband is campaigning for her release, and spoke

:00:27.:00:32.

On a tree in north-west London hang messages of hope and love.

:00:33.:00:38.

It's been a year since Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was jailed

:00:39.:00:42.

in Tehran as she waited to board a flight back to London

:00:43.:00:45.

Today her family and friends back home are trying

:00:46.:00:50.

We are hanging ribbons from a tree, we've called it a one-day tree.

:00:51.:00:56.

It's ideas what you would do with one day of freedom.

:00:57.:00:59.

Nazanin, who works for a charity, was imprisoned for five years

:01:00.:01:02.

for allegedly plotting to topple the Iranian government.

:01:03.:01:05.

Her family deny she broke any laws and still don't know

:01:06.:01:08.

Now she's been moved out of solitary confinement

:01:09.:01:12.

and she is in a cell with other women, there is company

:01:13.:01:15.

And she is obviously - in some ways we have discovered,

:01:16.:01:19.

Since Nazanin's imprisonment, her family have campaigned

:01:20.:01:24.

tirelessly for her freedom and they are hoping that today's

:01:25.:01:26.

They plan to make a digital photo book of all the notes hanging

:01:27.:01:32.

on this tree to show Nazanin when she is eventually released.

:01:33.:01:37.

The couple's two-year-old daughter has remained in Iran

:01:38.:01:39.

after the government confiscated her passport.

:01:40.:01:42.

She is being looked after by her grandparents.

:01:43.:01:46.

Last month Nazanin wrote her a letter from prison.

:01:47.:01:49.

Forgive me for the nights I was not by your side to hold your warm

:01:50.:01:52.

Forgive me for all those moments you miss the bosom of your mother.

:01:53.:01:57.

For all those teething fever nights that I was not there for you.

:01:58.:02:01.

In a statement the Foreign Office said we continue to raise our strong

:02:02.:02:06.

concerns about all dual British Iranian prisoners in Iran

:02:07.:02:09.

including Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe at the highest levels in both

:02:10.:02:12.

There will be life afterwards and it's important to keep focusing

:02:13.:02:18.

on that, not to dwell too much on the suffering.

:02:19.:02:21.

The parents of a sick baby boy from west London

:02:22.:02:28.

are hoping to persuade a court to allow them to go to America,

:02:29.:02:31.

after they raised more than a million pounds

:02:32.:02:33.

Charlie Gard has a rare genetic condition -

:02:34.:02:37.

and has been treated at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

:02:38.:02:45.

Specialists there think it's time to stop the 'life-support' treatment.

:02:46.:02:48.

A judge will consider the case tomorrow.

:02:49.:02:51.

It's the roof of the beautiful Painted Hall in Greenwich -

:02:52.:02:54.

But rather than keeping it hidden while the works gets done -

:02:55.:03:00.

they thought the public might want to join them 60 feet in the air

:03:01.:03:04.

It's a historic masterpiece and regarded as one of the greatest

:03:05.:03:11.

And 300 years after it was created the magnificent ceiling

:03:12.:03:19.

of the Painted Hall at the Royal Naval College

:03:20.:03:21.

It feels pretty incredible to be allowed this high up and this close

:03:22.:03:27.

You can see the cherubs and the gods and the angels.

:03:28.:03:34.

The Painted Hall was once the captains mess for naval officers

:03:35.:03:38.

in Greenwich and has featured in Hollywood films such

:03:39.:03:41.

Visitors are now able to go up to a 60 feet high observation deck

:03:42.:03:47.

and see the conservation work in progress.

:03:48.:03:50.

Years of dust and dirt are being lifted off

:03:51.:03:52.

Being up so close, allsorts of detail comes to the fore.

:03:53.:04:01.

It's nice to be able to see Louis XIV who is a ghostly

:04:02.:04:05.

figure at the moment, rather fight and shrouded in dust.

:04:06.:04:10.

He's being trampled by King William and now you can really

:04:11.:04:14.

see his despotic face as Thornhill intended.

:04:15.:04:20.

Artist Sir James Thornhill started painting in 1707.

:04:21.:04:24.

With its themes of monarchy and Britain as a naval power.

:04:25.:04:28.

When he starts the scheme, Queen Anne is on the throne

:04:29.:04:36.

and there are various changes along the way which means when he comes

:04:37.:04:39.

to finish the scheme he has to depict George I at the centre

:04:40.:04:43.

of the final wall, the west wall behind us.

:04:44.:04:46.

So he really has to adapt to the unfolding events

:04:47.:04:49.

The conservation work should finish in two years.

:04:50.:04:56.

When the scaffolding comes down this baroque masterpiece will only be

:04:57.:05:00.

Another fine day in the forecast for tomorrow but watch out for some

:05:01.:05:13.

mist and fog patches forming overnight tonight particularly

:05:14.:05:15.

towards southern areas and up through parts

:05:16.:05:17.

Locally chilly start to the day, the mist and fog will lift

:05:18.:05:22.

and clear, lots of blue sky and sunshine, more like sunny

:05:23.:05:25.

spells, into the afternoon highs of 17 or 18.

:05:26.:05:29.

It will cloud over on Tuesday, a few spots of rain but that's it

:05:30.:05:32.

For the rest of the week it will feel a touch cooler.

:05:33.:05:37.

I'll be back at 10:20pm with our next news.

:05:38.:05:41.

Dotun Adabeyo will have more on the activist and broadcaster,

:05:42.:05:43.

Darcus Howe who's died at the age of 74, at his home in Streatham.

:05:44.:05:48.

It was a lovely second part to the weekend for most parts of the UK,

:05:49.:06:15.

lots of sunshine, more cloud to the east but in the last few hours it

:06:16.:06:20.

started to melt away and the process will continue, most places seeing

:06:21.:06:24.

lengthy clear spells overnight and much like last night it will turn a

:06:25.:06:28.

bit chilly. We might see mist and fog, like winds, more of a breeze in

:06:29.:06:35.

the north and west, cloud and patchy rain approaching the Western Isles

:06:36.:06:38.

by the end of the night. Eight or 9 degrees but in rural parts of

:06:39.:06:41.

Scotland England and Wales it will get to the bottom end of single

:06:42.:06:46.

figures. Frost will not last long in the morning nor will the mist and

:06:47.:06:50.

fog, England and Wales will have a lovely day with good sunshine and

:06:51.:06:54.

wins coming up from the south. More cloud and outbreaks of rain in the
