london gets recorded. what i found was that for schemes where there's at least one social housing, council home on the site, we've got a net loss of over 4,000 homes in schemes that have been completed over the last 15 years and when you look forward, schemes that have planning permission now, it gets even worse. there are 7,600 homes to be lost on schemes that regenerate so the whole process is accelerating. music: warning by bugzy malone one of the estates to see the biggest loss, is the heygate. constructed in the early ‘70s, the south london site provided over 1,200 council homes. but at the turn of the century it was listed for redevelopment and torn down, decimating the council housing stock and the community. the heygate estate was demolished a couple of years ago. it's been replaced by elephant park, a luxury apartment development by the australian developer lendlease. almost 3,000 homes, of those only 82 are social housing. the regeneration of the heygate estate was a pretty stressful experience

that is a bit like transport for london but with less power. according to chris grayling, everything is going to be fine? not if you speak to people in greater manchester. we have had another terrible day on the trains. people unable to get into work. we have had four months of chaos and itjust goes on and on. we need a solution from chris grayling. he needs to work with transport for the north to find a solution and i would say that is to bring in a troubleshooter who can bang heads together and get services back on track. we cannot carry on in this position. as a passenger, is that not something you would welcome? i think so, i hope so. what really needs to be done isjust the demand, northern leaders need to get together and demand of westminster that the investment in transport in the north is not only integrated but is made on a par with investment in the south. as the minister for the north, effectively, if i can call you that, that is yourjob? i have good news. in this spending review period, we are spending more on improving northern tra

15 in the north. 21 in london. 0n tomorrow. 15 in the north. 21 in london. on friday, low pressure, the same forecast as we have been showing you, expected to park itself off newcastle so that means increasing winds in the east of scotland, the north—east of england and some heavy rain at times. but a big difference the further south—west you go. so that is for northern ireland, wales and the midlands and down to the south, it is looking fine. temperatures cooler. for most of us the feel will be in the teens. cool off the coast of the north sea around 1a in newcastle. the outlook for the weekend, it is still going to remain cool weekend, it is still going to remain cool, particularly in the north and spells of rain almost for anybody. so not as nice as it was last weekend. thank you. a reminder of our top story: two russian military intelligence officers are named as the main suspects in the salisbury novichok investigation. the men are accused of attempting to murder former russian spy sergei skripal and his d

it's funny thing about book structure, the book follows the outbreak in london over the course of two weeks and every chapter is a day during that period and i knew i had this chronology that i had to follow on some level so anchored to that so i knew there was going to be this ticking clock, there's an investigation that's going on that leads to the discovery of the water-borne nature of cholera and during research to have book given the events of each day corresponding to these chapters, there was a way to attach to each chapter one particular theme that i was exploring in the book that mapped on to the events, so there's one chapter tells the story of the tuesday but it's also about the way in which cities recycled their waste and the thursday actually maps on to the biographical history and to this day, i think it's one of the more -- when i came up with the idea that's really clever and this is going to add to the structure and interesting and add asymmetry to it and i'm very proud of that and no one has ever mentioned it. [laughter] >> in my review of the book, did very nicely.

london is dismissing the interview and london is reminding moscow that they have questions that haven't been answered by the kremlin from the very beginning in this affair it looks like we're getting statements and counter state from someone. the british government has if you would like to step into a corner into a certain position and therefore you can't really back out you can't really say sorry we made a terrible mistake because we would lose face if they do that remember that over a hundred fifty diplomats were expelled were were declared persona non grata sanctions were imposed and so on you can't really go back down and say so no we made a terrible mistake you shouldn't of the evidence is not there and that we back away from that the british government will keep to his position and probably credibility but if you must keep to that yet just briefly do you think then the interview has changed anything in the situation surrounding the script case. it'll be interesting for the average viewer and they can make up their own mind margarita simonyan said it's up to the viewer to move to m
