0:00:00 > 0:00:02Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.

0:00:02 > 0:00:02Bye for now.

0:00:11 > 0:00:14Welcome to BBC London News. I'm Victoria Hollins.

0:00:14 > 0:00:17The husband of a British-Iranian woman imprisoned in Tehran

0:00:17 > 0:00:19is putting pressure on the Foreign Secretary, Boris

0:00:19 > 0:00:23Johnson, over her release.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe from West Hampstead is serving

0:00:25 > 0:00:28a five-year sentence in Iran for spying - a charge

0:00:29 > 0:00:30which she denies.

0:00:30 > 0:00:34Today her supporters gathered to mark her continuing detention,

0:00:34 > 0:00:36including the second Mother's Day she'll be away from

0:00:36 > 0:00:38her young daughter. Sarah Harris reports.

0:00:38 > 0:00:39Free Nazanin!

0:00:39 > 0:00:42The children of family and friends making sure she is not forgotten

0:00:42 > 0:00:46this Mother's Day weekend.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48It's 707 days since Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe,

0:00:48 > 0:00:51a dual citizen, was sent to prison, accused of trying to overthrow

0:00:51 > 0:00:53the Iranian regime.

0:00:53 > 0:00:57Her husband says it's her daughter Gabriella she misses most.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00It's been a long, long time and I don't think we ever thought it

0:01:00 > 0:01:01would last this long.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04And each landmark that comes is a reminder that she's still away.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07And obviously, you strip it all back, the thing she's most upset

0:01:07 > 0:01:09about is that she's been away from Gabriella and not

0:01:09 > 0:01:10watched her grow up.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14We will leave absolutely no stone unturned.

0:01:14 > 0:01:18This is what the Foreign Secretary said about trying to get Nazanin

0:01:18 > 0:01:20home ahead of a meeting with Richard Ratcliffe

0:01:20 > 0:01:24and a visit to Iran to meet President Hassan Rouhani.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26A play has been written about what happened.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29Its writer has this message for Boris Johnson.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32He did so much before Christmas and something was happening.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34We got really excited and I was really excited

0:01:34 > 0:01:36about putting an ending to the story.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39And it all came to nothing.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42So my message to him would be, please do something, start again,

0:01:42 > 0:01:46try a different way. Bring her home, bring Nazanin home.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49And bring this mother and her baby back to be with her family.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Children today painted stones to remind the Foreign

0:01:51 > 0:01:55Secretary of his pledge.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57It's an especially difficult time for the family.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00This weekend is all about being a mother, isn't it?

0:02:00 > 0:02:02And ever since I've had children, it's always been a very

0:02:02 > 0:02:05special day for me.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08For Nazanin, this is the second Mother's Day she's missing out on.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11And it's definitely going to hit very hard this weekend for her.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14All those days out she's missing out on with Gabriella.

0:02:14 > 0:02:20Her husband insists Nazanin is completely innocent of all

0:02:20 > 0:02:23the charges against her, and it's another milestone with no

0:02:23 > 0:02:25sign of a release date.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27The Foreign Office says its continuing to work behind

0:02:27 > 0:02:28the scenes to secure her release.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31Her family just want to be able to tell little Gabriella

0:02:31 > 0:02:34when her mummy is coming home.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40The nephew of the actress Liz Hurley is recovering in hospital

0:02:40 > 0:02:43after being stabbed repeatedly during an attack

0:02:43 > 0:02:44in South West London.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Miles Hurley who's a 21-year-old model, was attacked

0:02:46 > 0:02:51in Ascalon Street in nine Elms on Thursday night.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55The actress said it was an appalling time for her entire family.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58Another man was also hurt.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01Stansted Airport staff joined police officers as they responded

0:03:01 > 0:03:04to a mock terror attack at the airport last night.

0:03:04 > 0:03:08The scenario was part of an ongoing training and exercising programme

0:03:08 > 0:03:10which involved Essex Police and took place from midnight

0:03:11 > 0:03:12to 3am this morning.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14Stansted is the UK's fourth busiest airport and more than 26 million

0:03:14 > 0:03:19passengers pass through every year.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22A section of one of the main roads into central London could remain

0:03:22 > 0:03:24shut for the next six days.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27A burst water main and emergency repairs has forced the closure

0:03:27 > 0:03:30of a section of the Marylebone Road Eastbound, between Marylebone High

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Street and Park Crescent.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35Thames Water believe it will need to remain closed

0:03:35 > 0:03:37until next Friday evening.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40It's causing delays for anyone trying to head into town

0:03:40 > 0:03:42and is likely to cause problems for the morning rush hour

0:03:42 > 0:03:46from Monday onwards.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48Let's look at the weather with Sara Thornton.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57Good evening. It has been unsettled but miles across London today. A

0:03:57 > 0:04:02similar story for tomorrow as well. Scenes like these again. A lot of

0:04:02 > 0:04:09cloud. Some breaks here and there. Showers to come. We're losing the

0:04:09 > 0:04:13thread of those showers for the main. Dry for much of this evening

0:04:13 > 0:04:16and overnight. Initially quite clear. We will see some low cloud

0:04:16 > 0:04:23pushing him by first thing tomorrow morning. A grey and chilly start.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27Temperatures down close to freezing. Mostly dry at first. Maybe the odd

0:04:27 > 0:04:33shower. It is in the afternoon we bring the threat of further showers

0:04:33 > 0:04:39from the South. Not a right of a phone afternoon. Drier interludes

0:04:39 > 0:04:45for the West. Highs of 12 Celsius. Still unsettled from Monday. Tuesday

0:04:45 > 0:04:49and Wednesday looking like fine days. Dry with brighter weather and

0:04:49 > 0:04:53still quite mild. Beware, it could turn colder next

0:04:53 > 0:04:53still quite mild. Beware, it could turn colder next weekend.

0:04:53 > 0:04:54That's it.

0:04:54 > 0:04:55We're back tomorrow evening.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58There's plenty more on our website at the usual address.
