James Cook, BBC News,

in Southern California.

0:00:000:00:01

we are back with the late

news at ten past ten.

0:00:010:00:03

Now

0:00:040:00:05

on BBC One, it's time

for the news where you are.

0:00:050:00:07

Goodbye.

0:00:070:00:08

Good evening from BBC London News.

0:00:200:00:22

I'm Alpa Patel.

0:00:220:00:23

A long-running dispute over a logo

0:00:230:00:24

could lead to bankruptcy

for the tiny, non-league side

0:00:240:00:26

Wembley FC, the club says.

0:00:260:00:27

The Football Association says it's

badge could be confused

0:00:270:00:30

with Wembley Stadium's.

0:00:300:00:31

Now, a court has ruled

in favour of the FA.

0:00:310:00:33

Chris Slegg reports.

0:00:330:00:36

Wembley Stadium and Wembley

football club, two

0:00:360:00:37

neighbours who aren't

on

0:00:370:00:38

good terms.

0:00:380:00:44

The FA owns Wembley Stadium

and took legal action to

0:00:440:00:47

force Wembley FC chairman Brian gum

to give up the trademark on the

0:00:470:00:50

club's rest.

0:00:500:00:51

Did they try to reach

an amicable solution with you?

0:00:510:00:53

You tell me.

0:00:530:00:54

I don't know any of them.

0:00:540:00:59

Have I seen any of them had phone

calls for them -- from them? No.

0:00:590:01:05

Wembley Stadium's trademark

0:01:050:01:07

was registered in 2009.

0:01:070:01:08

The FA did not originally

object when Wembley FC

0:01:080:01:10

registered theirs in

2012, but this year,

0:01:100:01:12

they won a court ruling

that

0:01:120:01:14

the logos were too similar, and

the football club's trademark was

0:01:140:01:17

cancelled pending an appeal.

0:01:170:01:18

That appeal is thought

to include the

0:01:180:01:20

argument that the football club has

been known as Wembley since 1946,

0:01:200:01:22

far longer than the stadium, which

has, as the 1966 World Cup final

0:01:220:01:26

programme shows, was long

called the Empire Stadium.

0:01:260:01:27

Robert McGinn is

a trademark attorney.

0:01:270:01:29

An online petition

against the FA's stance was

0:01:300:01:32

launched on Thursday,

more than 13,000 people signing it

0:01:320:01:34

within the first 24 hours.

0:01:340:01:37

The FA have now broken

their silence, saying: This

0:01:370:01:40

is not about Wembley

FC's logo or brand.

0:01:400:01:42

We have never objected to their use

of this logo in the UK

0:01:420:01:45

or elsewhere.

0:01:460:01:50

We were forced to find a way

to prevent their mark blocking

0:01:500:01:55

ours in other territories.

0:01:550:01:56

We have not asked and

will not ask Wembley

0:01:560:01:58

FC to pay the costs to date.

0:01:580:02:03

Would Wembley FC

accept keeping their

0:02:030:02:04

crest but surrendering

its trademark status?

0:02:040:02:06

I really don't know.

0:02:060:02:07

I'll take legal advice now.

0:02:070:02:08

If it can make some

benefit from the club, why

0:02:080:02:10

shouldn't we have it?

0:02:100:02:11

It's ours.

0:02:110:02:18

The Heathrow Express

was suspended in both directions

0:02:180:02:20

earlier today causing delays

for thousands of passengers

0:02:200:02:24

wanting to get away.

0:02:240:02:25

The operator tweeted customers -

0:02:250:02:26

saying there had been

a power failure.

0:02:260:02:28

The service is now up and running -

although planned engineering works

0:02:280:02:31

will see it closed from tomorrow

until the 27th.

0:02:310:02:39

Big Ben's iconic bongs are back,

0:02:390:02:41

but only for a short time.

0:02:410:02:42

The Great Bell of the Elizabeth

Tower fell silent back in August.

0:02:420:02:45

It was meant to be out of action

for four years while essential

0:02:450:02:48

work was carried out.

0:02:480:02:49

Frankie McCamley has the story.

0:02:490:02:52

BIG BEN CHIMES

0:02:520:02:59

A sound you won't hear

very often any more.

0:02:590:03:06

The great bell of the

Elizabeth Tower fell

0:03:060:03:08

silent in August for four years

of essential repair works, but this

0:03:080:03:10

morning, the iconic bongs are back

whilst work is stopped over

0:03:100:03:13

Christmas.

0:03:130:03:19

You've got to remember that

Big Ben is 118 decibels of

0:03:190:03:21

sound.

0:03:210:03:22

When you're working in close

proximity to the bell, for such a

0:03:220:03:29

long period of time, it

will or could affect your hearing.

0:03:290:03:32

The last time the chimes

rang out was on

0:03:320:03:34

Armistice Day.

0:03:340:03:35

They'll only be heard on special

occasions over the next

0:03:350:03:38

four years.

0:03:380:03:39

Obviously, it's upsetting

to see it the way it is,

0:03:390:03:41

and to have to silence it,

but it is essential maintenance.

0:03:410:03:44

We are only custodians

of it, and we're just

0:03:440:03:46

here looking after it

for future generations.

0:03:460:03:47

Not just generations here in London

but for those across

0:03:470:03:50

the world coming to see the iconic

tower, one of the most prominent

0:03:500:03:53

symbols in the capital,

standing for more than 150 years.

0:03:530:03:55

But if you want to hear it

chime, there's not long.

0:03:550:03:58

The last bong will be

on New Year's Day.

0:03:580:04:03

Well, how is the weekend

weather shaping up for us?

0:04:080:04:11

Here's Elizabeth Rizzini.

0:04:110:04:19

Good evening.

0:04:190:04:20

There will be a lot of low cloud

tonight. We start tomorrow on around

0:04:250:04:31

10 Celsius. It will feel quite windy

tomorrow, with hints of brightness

0:04:310:04:35

at times, but always plenty of cloud

and staying dry. Top temperatures of

0:04:350:04:40

11-12dC. It will be windy on Sunday

night into Christmas Day itself.

0:04:400:04:47

Christmas Day looks mild and grey.

We may see a few spots of drizzle.

0:04:470:04:52

Once again, quite windy, too. Some

rain on Christmas night, but it will

0:04:520:04:57

clear, leaving a cooler, sunny

Boxing Day.

0:04:570:05:01

That's it from me and the team,

enjoy your Saturday.

0:05:010:05:03

Bye for now
