13/01/2018 London News

we are back with the late

news at 9:15pm.

Goodbye.

Good evening and welcome

to the programme.

I'm Katharine Carpenter.

Demonstrators claiming to support

Donald Trump and Brexit disrupted

a speech by the Mmyor earlier.

Sadiq Khan had just begun speaking

at the Fabian Society conference

when people in the front row got up

and started shouting slogans

and saying they wanted

to make a citizen's arrest.

It's believed they belong

to a protest group called

the White Pendragons.

Sarah Harris was there.

Thank you. As the former...

It was meant to be a speech to

supporters at the left-wing think

tank Fabian Society's Central London

conference, but talk was suspended

for several minutes after protesters

supporting Donald Trump and Brexit

hurled insults.

Sit down, please.

We are getting...

When order was

restored, Sadiq Khan use the

opportunity to take on a swipe at

the president. Donald Trump as

previously described himself as a

very stable genius.

It is a pleasure to be here, even

though we were distracted by the

actions of what some would call very

stable genius is.

LAUGHTER

APPLAUSE

While organisers waited for police

to remove the protesters, Canterbury

European banners were waved by one

of the stallholders.

We have a stall about materials and

I said, hang on, I have a banner and

a flight, wide and we pop in and

hold them up? It seemed to go down

rather well with the audience and I

think we made our point.

Yesterday a waxwork of the US

president made an appearance outside

the newly built a US embassy after

news that the real Donald Trump will

not officially open it. Some have

criticised the mayor for getting

involved in a public falling out

with a prominent ally, but

supporters that today's event only

wanted to complain about the

interruption.

I think people came today wanting a

refreshing conversation, to hear

from Sadiq Khan, and it was

interrupted by those who do not want

a debate or conversation.

Police moved on the protest on the

mayor's speech on the gender pay gap

continued in full.

A murder investigation has been

launched after a man assaulted

in Trafalgar Square more than six

months ago died in hospital.

Police have re-released CCTV images

of two men they want to trace

in connection with the attack

outside the National

Gallery in June.

Desmond O'Beirne never recovered

from a head injury injury

after being kicked and punched

during the assault, which the police

have described as "mindless".

Drivers travelling to Gatwick

airport are facing long delays this

weekend because part

of the M23 is closed.

The motorway is shut

northbound from Crawley,

between junctions ten and nine

for re-surfacing works.

Police are warning of long traffic

jams and there is also rail

disruption in the area.

Four amateur rowers have set

a new world record for rowing

unaided across the atlantic.

The crew completed the three

thousand mile crossing

from the Canary Islands to Antigua

in just 29 days - six days faster

than the previous record holders.

Speaking moments after arriving

in the harbour, London lawyer

George Biggar described what got

them through the

gruelling challenge.

I think it's just four guys who get

on really well and know each other

inside out, and know what works for

them as a group of four people, as a

team. I think the dynamic of the

team that we have has been

absolutely vital to success.

Now here's Kate with

the weather forecast.

Now here's Kate with

the weather forecast.

A predominantly cloudy day once

again, some glimmers of brightness

but on the whole this guy has looked

something like that. We will hang on

to the cloud into the evening and

overnight tonight. The wind is

reasonably light overnight, could

get a spot of light rain and drizzle

over higher ground, most places

staying dry. The cloud could soon

break that in the most part it will

stay cloudy, temperatures staying

above zero, between three and four.

Try and cloudy for Sunday, very

similar conditions. There may be a

spot of drizzle on the higher ground

especially, most places dry, more

chance of the code breaking up

tomorrow, so some brightness

tomorrow afternoon. Glimmers of

sunshine, temperatures chilly.

Rain moves across, becoming wet and

windy and getting colder through

next week.

That's all from the Saturday

team here, enjoy the

rest of your evening.

Bye-bye.
