0:00:01 > 0:00:01to the Women's Open Golf
0:00:02 > 0:00:03Championships in London.
0:00:03 > 0:00:04That's it.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07But do stay with us on BBC One, it's now time for the news where you are.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Good evening and welcome to the programme.
0:00:14 > 0:00:21I'm Katharine Carpenter.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Commuters are being warned they could face significant delays
0:00:23 > 0:00:24at Waterloo tomorrow.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Works, which began at the station this weekend, will see ten
0:00:26 > 0:00:30of its 19 platforms closed for the next three weeks.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Tomorrow morning's rush hour will be the first real test
0:00:33 > 0:00:38of how the station copes, as Tolu Adeoye reports.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41They've been warning of the disruption for months,
0:00:41 > 0:00:44and this weekend the work began to upgrade Waterloo station.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Platforms are being extended to allow for longer
0:00:46 > 0:00:51trains and provide space for 30% more passengers.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Extra staff have been taken on to assist people during the work.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Really, really good to see so many staff out there
0:00:57 > 0:00:59actively helping passengers.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01On Monday we believe there will be even more staff,
0:01:01 > 0:01:04and what is needed is that there is really strong management,
0:01:04 > 0:01:06because passengers in the morning will be coming into platforms
0:01:06 > 0:01:10that they are not used to.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Nearly half of all platforms here at London Waterloo have now
0:01:13 > 0:01:17been closed for the work, and to help ease some
0:01:17 > 0:01:20of the pressure, these old Eurostar platforms are being put back
0:01:20 > 0:01:22into use for the first time since the service moved
0:01:22 > 0:01:27to London St Pancras in 2007.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29With significantly reduced services into Waterloo,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32rail bosses have urged passengers to consider taking a holiday,
0:01:32 > 0:01:34working from home, or travelling earlier or later than normal
0:01:34 > 0:01:41while the project is under way.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44I need to add an extra half an hour on my journey,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46just to make sure I get to work on time.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50In the rush hour, I would not like to be on the train,
0:01:50 > 0:01:51that is for sure.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54It is very crowded now, even coming on a Sunday, so it is not good.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Infrastructure always needs to be developed,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00and it is tough to deal with it at the time.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02The work will finish over the August bank holiday weekend,
0:02:02 > 0:02:05not a moment too soon for passengers who are in for a difficult
0:02:05 > 0:02:07few weeks of travel.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12Tolu Adeoye, BBC London News.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14People with footage of a fatal shooting in Chelmsford
0:02:14 > 0:02:17yesterday are being urged not to post it online.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Essex Police says anyone with mobile or dash-cam recordings
0:02:19 > 0:02:25of the incident on Baddow Road should hand them over to detectives.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27The man shot outside the petrol station has been named
0:02:27 > 0:02:33as 34-year-old John Pordage.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Artists working close to the Olympic Park say they're
0:02:35 > 0:02:38being forced out of their studios to make way for a new bridge.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Others say they're being priced out of the area, but developers say it
0:02:41 > 0:02:44will link thousands of new homes in Hackney Wick to a new school.
0:02:44 > 0:02:51Sonja Jessup reports.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Hard at work in her Hackney Wick studio, but this painter does not
0:02:54 > 0:02:57know how long she will be able to stay.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59As developers have moved into the area, many artists feel
0:02:59 > 0:03:02they are being pushed out.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05We find that a lot of local artists are moving out of the country,
0:03:05 > 0:03:08so we're losing not only skills, we're losing assets and we're losing
0:03:08 > 0:03:12the future of London in terms of its creativity, really.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14The group in charge of London's Olympic legacy
0:03:14 > 0:03:16are planning to build a new bridge here, connecting thousands
0:03:16 > 0:03:20of new homes and a new school around Fish Island.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23This needs to be a place that people can move around,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25whether they are here as artists, here working in a business,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28they live here, they are going to school here.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Historically, this canal has been one of the barriers that
0:03:30 > 0:03:36stopped the space working.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39The LLDC says it does not want to drive the artists out,
0:03:39 > 0:03:42but some are worried that is exactly what the new developments will do.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45There's a great fear, which happens in a lot of parts of London,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48that development will squeeze people out because the rents go up and up.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51The lower end of the market, if you like, in terms of struggling
0:03:51 > 0:03:53artists will be squeezed out.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Musician Nima Tehranchi is one of those who has already been
0:03:55 > 0:03:56forced to move away.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00He believes London is at risk of losing its creative identity.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02This city has always been known as a cultural
0:04:02 > 0:04:05leader in various ways, but now, if this is lost,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08I do not think there will be somewhere so geographically relevant
0:04:08 > 0:04:13that can take its place.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16The artists here say they accept new housing is needed,
0:04:16 > 0:04:19but argue there should also be room for their creative community
0:04:19 > 0:04:21to continue to thrive.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Sonja Jessup, BBC London News.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Now here's the weather with Lucy Martin.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29Hello, good evening.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32A slightly cloudier day on the way tomorrow, with just the risk
0:04:32 > 0:04:35of the odd isolated shower.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37First of all, though, through tonight, we will see
0:04:37 > 0:04:39varying amounts of cloud, some clear spells, with overnight
0:04:39 > 0:04:41lows of 12 degrees Celsius.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42A fairly bright start to the day tomorrow.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Cloud will tend to increase from the northwest as we
0:04:45 > 0:04:46move through the day.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Just the chance of the odd isolated shower, with highs
0:04:48 > 0:04:49of 21 degrees Celsius.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51I will leave you with the outlook.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54The risk of possibly a quite heavy, thundery shower midweek,
0:04:54 > 0:04:58but turning drier again by Thursday.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01We'll be back in Breakfast from 6, but that's all from the late team.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Goodnight.
