That's all from me, stay with us on BBC One -

:00:00.:00:00.

it's time for the news where you are.

: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.:00:20.

desperate to be back in London with her family.

:00:21.:00:22.

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is serving a five-year sentence,

:00:23.:00:27.

after being arrested at Tehran airport.

:00:28.:00:29.

Her husband is campaigning for her release, and spoke

:00:30.:00:32.

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

:00:33.:00:40.

It has been a year since Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was jailed

:00:41.:00:43.

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

:00:44.:00:46.

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

:00:47.:00:56.

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

:00:57.:00:58.

for allegedly plotting to topple the Iranian government.

:00:59.:01:00.

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

:01:01.:01:04.

Now she has been moved out of solitary confinement

:01:05.:01:09.

and she is in a cell with other women.

:01:10.:01:11.

There is company and that is so much better.

:01:12.:01:13.

In some ways, we have discovered more how ill she was.

:01:14.:01:17.

Since Nazanin's imprisonment, her family have campaigned

:01:18.:01:22.

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

:01:23.:01:24.

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

:01:25.:01:27.

after the government confiscated her passport.

:01:28.:01:30.

She has been looked after by her grandparents.

:01:31.:01:33.

Last month, Nazanin wrote her a letter from prison.

:01:34.:01:36.

Forgive me for all the nights I was not by your side

:01:37.:01:39.

to hold your warm little hand before you fall asleep.

:01:40.:01:42.

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

:01:43.:01:45.

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

:01:46.:01:48.

In a statement, the Foreign Office said that we continue

:01:49.:01:52.

to raise our strong concerns about all dual British-Iranian

:01:53.:01:55.

prisoners in Iran, including Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe,

:01:56.:01:59.

at the highest levels in both London and Thailand.

:02:00.:02:03.

A murder investigation has begun tonight after a 21-year-old man has

:02:04.:02:09.

been stabbed to death in east London.

:02:10.:02:11.

It happened in Canning Town, where the man was found by police

:02:12.:02:14.

in an off-licence on Freemasons Road.

:02:15.:02:17.

Police in Islington are tonight investigating what could be human

:02:18.:02:22.

bones found in brown paper on Cloudesley Square,

:02:23.:02:24.

Police cordoned off the road and say the two thigh bones aren't

:02:25.:02:32.

They'll be sent to the laboratory for testing.

:02:33.:02:38.

Now, have a look at something magnificent.

:02:39.:02:42.

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

:02:43.:02:44.

But rather than keeping it hidden while the work gets done,

:02:45.:02:48.

they thought the public might want to join them 60 feet

:02:49.:02:52.

It is a historic masterpiece and regarded as one of the greatest

:02:53.:02:59.

And, 300 years after it was created, the magnificent ceiling

:03:00.:03:05.

of the Painted Hall at the Royal Naval College

:03:06.:03:07.

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

:03:08.:03:14.

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

:03:15.:03:21.

The Painted Hall was once the captain's mess

:03:22.:03:23.

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

:03:24.:03:28.

and see the conservation work in progress.

:03:29.:03:32.

Years of dust and dirt are being lifted off

:03:33.:03:34.

Well, being up so close, all sorts of detail comes to the fore.

:03:35.:03:40.

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

:03:41.:03:47.

figure at the moment, and now you can really get up

:03:48.:03:50.

and see his despotic face, as Thornhill intended him to be.

:03:51.:03:54.

Artist Sir James Thornhill started painting in 1707.

:03:55.:03:58.

With its themes of monarchy and Britain as a Naval power,

:03:59.:04:02.

The conservation work should finish in two years.

:04:03.:04:10.

Now the weather forecast with Elizabeth.

:04:11.:04:16.

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

:04:17.:04:20.

mist and fog patches forming overnight tonight, particularly

:04:21.:04:22.

towards southern areas and up through parts of the Thames Estuary.

:04:23.:04:25.

The mist and fog will lift and clear, lots of blue skies

:04:26.:04:30.

and sunshine, more like sunny spells into the afternoon with highs

:04:31.:04:33.

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

:04:34.:04:39.

in terms of rainfall for the rest of the week.

:04:40.:04:41.

It will feel, though, a touch colour.

:04:42.:04:47.

It will feel, though, a touch cooler.

:04:48.:04:49.

That's it from the BBC London weekend team.

:04:50.:04:51.

I hope you'll join us during the week -

:04:52.:04:53.

Some lovely spring sunshine on offer. Highs of 12 degrees. In

:04:54.:05:22.

London you can enjoy the lovely

:05:23.:05:23.
