:00:00. > :00:00.and we'll be back with the late news at 10pm.

:00:00. > :00:11.Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.

:00:12. > :00:13.Good evening and welcome to BBC London news,

:00:14. > :00:23.Liberal Democrat Simon Hughes says he will fight to win back his seat

:00:24. > :00:26.in June's general election. He's vowed to work for the residents of

:00:27. > :00:32.Bermondsey Southwark and represent their views. Ayshea Buksh reports.

:00:33. > :00:40.Neil Coyle is duly elected. He was the party's longest serving MP and

:00:41. > :00:44.dramatically lost his seat Labour back in 2015. Now, just days after

:00:45. > :00:49.the announcement of a snap election in June, activists in Bermondsey are

:00:50. > :00:54.preparing to fight for the return of Simon Hughes as the local MP. We did

:00:55. > :00:59.the right thing by stopping the Tories running the country on their

:01:00. > :01:03.own and we rescued the country from economically desperate position, so

:01:04. > :01:08.I don't regret it. The many policies of austerity, tuition fees,

:01:09. > :01:10.incredibly unpopular, and evil are reeling from that. Of course and we

:01:11. > :01:14.got punished at the last election but this is not about the past. You

:01:15. > :01:18.don't have elections about the past. You have elections about the future.

:01:19. > :01:23.And his party leader is pushing for a pro-European future to attract

:01:24. > :01:27.Londoners who voted to remain in the EU. If you believe Britain needs a

:01:28. > :01:30.strong, decent opposition, it's the Liberal Democrats and only the

:01:31. > :01:35.Liberal Democrats you can support for an open, tolerant and united

:01:36. > :01:41.Britain, changing Britain's future. Thank you.

:01:42. > :01:45.APPLAUSE To say it's a black and white

:01:46. > :01:48.position is a bit ridiculous. I was simply correcting the mistakes,

:01:49. > :01:52.which is that Neil Coyle, with me and other Labour MPs voted not to

:01:53. > :01:56.trigger Article 50. This isn't something that's just going to beat

:01:57. > :01:59.June the 9th, we are suddenly going to have a deal with the rest of

:02:00. > :02:03.Europe, hard Brexit, soft Brexit, whatever type of Brexit. This is

:02:04. > :02:15.going to be something involving politicians. Back in Bermondsey not

:02:16. > :02:17.all locals are convinced about the return of the Lib Dem MP. I'm

:02:18. > :02:25.personally going to vote Labour. Why? I think they are more about

:02:26. > :02:29.workers' rights and housing. I'm against Brexit. Is the best

:02:30. > :02:33.government for England, make sure you eat and drink. Simon Hughes was

:02:34. > :02:37.a popular MP here for many years but to win this seat back you'll have to

:02:38. > :02:39.persuade locals who voted Labour that both he and his party can be

:02:40. > :02:44.trusted again. The boyfriend of the reality

:02:45. > :02:46.TV star, Ferne McCann, has been arrested in connection

:02:47. > :02:59.with an alleged acid attack Police wanted to speak to Arthur

:03:00. > :03:05.Collins, 25, following an incident at the Mangling Dalston.

:03:06. > :03:08.20 clubbers suffered burns at the club over Easter,

:03:09. > :03:10.while two people were blinded in one eye.

:03:11. > :03:13.A mother and father from Dartford say they're devastated after items

:03:14. > :03:15.belonging to their dead baby were stolen.

:03:16. > :03:17.The items, including a blanket, toy and car seat,

:03:18. > :03:20.were in a Ford Fiesta that was stolen on Wednesday.

:03:21. > :03:23.The parents say the belongings hold huge sentimental value.

:03:24. > :03:25.Detectives are appealing for witnesses and say the car had

:03:26. > :03:30.A campaign's been launched to help an East End pie and mash shop,

:03:31. > :03:33.after burglars made off with a much loved piece of its history.

:03:34. > :03:36.The thieves stole a brass till that's had pride of place at Manze's

:03:37. > :03:40.on Walthamstow High Street since the 1920s.

:03:41. > :03:42.It's a bit like the place that time forgot.

:03:43. > :03:50.Since 1929 they've been serving hot pies and mash,

:03:51. > :03:55.and since 1929 the takings have been cashed in this old brass till.

:03:56. > :03:59.That is, until it was stolen three weeks ago.

:04:00. > :04:02.The till has been here since the day the shop opened,

:04:03. > :04:06.so obviously it's a treasured piece, and it's devastating

:04:07. > :04:11.It's part of the shop, because everybody, when they come

:04:12. > :04:13.to visit the shop, either just to look at the interior

:04:14. > :04:16.or to have pie and mash, they always look at the till

:04:17. > :04:21.It's been in more or less the same spot.

:04:22. > :04:25.It's been in exactly the same spot all the time.

:04:26. > :04:28.Back in 2013, the old shop officially became a piece

:04:29. > :04:32.of history, when given grade two listing.

:04:33. > :04:36.The thing about this place is nothing has changed.

:04:37. > :04:40.It's not just the till that's been here since 1929.

:04:41. > :04:45.Even the recipe for the pies is the same now as it was then.

:04:46. > :04:49.All the more upsetting someone would want to destroy

:04:50. > :04:56.I could have cried when I saw it on Facebook.

:04:57. > :05:03.It was gleaming. It just belongs here.

:05:04. > :05:06.It was part of Manze's, the old till.

:05:07. > :05:08.Local police have made a number of enquiries,

:05:09. > :05:19.Now everyone is hoping for someone's conscience to kick in.

:05:20. > :05:23.Let's get a check on the weather, with Georgina Burnett.

:05:24. > :05:27.Today ended up being quite a pleasant end to the weekend.

:05:28. > :05:29.Certainly a lot warmer than it will be this week.

:05:30. > :05:33.Clear spells tonight, a mainly dry night, and brightness

:05:34. > :05:38.Cloud soon descends and we see some spits and spots of rain.

:05:39. > :05:42.The bulk of the rain is likely to be later on in the day.

:05:43. > :05:48.Temperatures getting up to about 14 Celsius.

:05:49. > :05:50.A couple of degrees below where we got to today.

:05:51. > :05:58.Tuesday and Wednesday is when we may see some wintry showers.

:06:17. > :06:20.winter on the way. Even a little bit of snow. Its forecast for one or two

:06:21. > :06:23.places. This is the forecast tonight. We're watching this cold
