James Cook, BBC News,
in Southern California. | 0:00:00 | 0:00:01 | |
we are back with the late
news at ten past ten. | 0:00:01 | 0:00:03 | |
Now | 0:00:04 | 0:00:05 | |
on BBC One, it's time
for the news where you are. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
Goodbye. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:08 | |
Good evening from BBC London News. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
I'm Alpa Patel. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:23 | |
A long-running dispute over a logo | 0:00:23 | 0:00:24 | |
could lead to bankruptcy
for the tiny, non-league side | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
Wembley FC, the club says. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:27 | |
The Football Association says it's
badge could be confused | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
with Wembley Stadium's. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:31 | |
Now, a court has ruled
in favour of the FA. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
Chris Slegg reports. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
Wembley Stadium and Wembley
football club, two | 0:00:36 | 0:00:37 | |
neighbours who aren't
on | 0:00:37 | 0:00:38 | |
good terms. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:44 | |
The FA owns Wembley Stadium
and took legal action to | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
force Wembley FC chairman Brian gum
to give up the trademark on the | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
club's rest. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:51 | |
Did they try to reach
an amicable solution with you? | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
You tell me. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:54 | |
I don't know any of them. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:59 | |
Have I seen any of them had phone
calls for them -- from them? No. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:05 | |
Wembley Stadium's trademark | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
was registered in 2009. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:08 | |
The FA did not originally
object when Wembley FC | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
registered theirs in
2012, but this year, | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
they won a court ruling
that | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
the logos were too similar, and
the football club's trademark was | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
cancelled pending an appeal. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:18 | |
That appeal is thought
to include the | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
argument that the football club has
been known as Wembley since 1946, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
far longer than the stadium, which
has, as the 1966 World Cup final | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
programme shows, was long
called the Empire Stadium. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:27 | |
Robert McGinn is
a trademark attorney. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
An online petition
against the FA's stance was | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
launched on Thursday,
more than 13,000 people signing it | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
within the first 24 hours. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
The FA have now broken
their silence, saying: This | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
is not about Wembley
FC's logo or brand. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
We have never objected to their use
of this logo in the UK | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
or elsewhere. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
We were forced to find a way
to prevent their mark blocking | 0:01:50 | 0:01:55 | |
ours in other territories. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:56 | |
We have not asked and
will not ask Wembley | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
FC to pay the costs to date. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:03 | |
Would Wembley FC
accept keeping their | 0:02:03 | 0:02:04 | |
crest but surrendering
its trademark status? | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
I really don't know. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:07 | |
I'll take legal advice now. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:08 | |
If it can make some
benefit from the club, why | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
shouldn't we have it? | 0:02:10 | 0:02:11 | |
It's ours. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:18 | |
The Heathrow Express
was suspended in both directions | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
earlier today causing delays
for thousands of passengers | 0:02:20 | 0:02:24 | |
wanting to get away. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:25 | |
The operator tweeted customers - | 0:02:25 | 0:02:26 | |
saying there had been
a power failure. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
The service is now up and running -
although planned engineering works | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
will see it closed from tomorrow
until the 27th. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:39 | |
Big Ben's iconic bongs are back, | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
but only for a short time. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:42 | |
The Great Bell of the Elizabeth
Tower fell silent back in August. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
It was meant to be out of action
for four years while essential | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
work was carried out. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:49 | |
Frankie McCamley has the story. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
BIG BEN CHIMES | 0:02:52 | 0:02:59 | |
A sound you won't hear
very often any more. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:06 | |
The great bell of the
Elizabeth Tower fell | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
silent in August for four years
of essential repair works, but this | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
morning, the iconic bongs are back
whilst work is stopped over | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
Christmas. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:19 | |
You've got to remember that
Big Ben is 118 decibels of | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
sound. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:22 | |
When you're working in close
proximity to the bell, for such a | 0:03:22 | 0:03:29 | |
long period of time, it
will or could affect your hearing. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
The last time the chimes
rang out was on | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
Armistice Day. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:35 | |
They'll only be heard on special
occasions over the next | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
four years. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:39 | |
Obviously, it's upsetting
to see it the way it is, | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
and to have to silence it,
but it is essential maintenance. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
We are only custodians
of it, and we're just | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
here looking after it
for future generations. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:47 | |
Not just generations here in London
but for those across | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
the world coming to see the iconic
tower, one of the most prominent | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
symbols in the capital,
standing for more than 150 years. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
But if you want to hear it
chime, there's not long. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
The last bong will be
on New Year's Day. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:03 | |
Well, how is the weekend
weather shaping up for us? | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
Here's Elizabeth Rizzini. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:19 | |
Good evening. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:20 | |
There will be a lot of low cloud
tonight. We start tomorrow on around | 0:04:25 | 0:04:31 | |
10 Celsius. It will feel quite windy
tomorrow, with hints of brightness | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
at times, but always plenty of cloud
and staying dry. Top temperatures of | 0:04:35 | 0:04:40 | |
11-12dC. It will be windy on Sunday
night into Christmas Day itself. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:47 | |
Christmas Day looks mild and grey.
We may see a few spots of drizzle. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:52 | |
Once again, quite windy, too. Some
rain on Christmas night, but it will | 0:04:52 | 0:04:57 | |
clear, leaving a cooler, sunny
Boxing Day. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:01 | |
That's it from me and the team,
enjoy your Saturday. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
Bye for now | 0:05:03 | 0:05:04 |
