london was going to get the overall holding company. that was always presented, first with germany and brexit, and the bigger issue. what they are relying on is something more complex than a merger problem, a set of activities and a merger that has to happen. the city of london and the whole brexit negotiations. as we mentioned, theresa may is likely to trigger article 50 in march, just a few days away, the month of march. this stops the process of the negotiation, the exit of the eu, and will take up to two years. now, there is so much to negotiate within that. but the city of london is incredibly important, isn't it, to the uk economy, that they get a great deal. it is a major taxpayer, a disproportionately large one. just from the income of business is. but from the people who work in the city as well, it is substantially above average and they pay a lot of income tax. we talked about the passporting rights issue and this so—called new equivalency, which is not quite an equivalency. talk us through these two and what the outcome mi

so what do londoners want the police to prioritise? all cyber crime including online fraud and online bullying, trolling, all these things. for me there is a lack of investment in local policing. we recently lost our local police station, it has been sold and turned into flats. the rise in race hate crime and that kind of thing, i would like that to be addressed because we are a multicultural city. and we need to embrace that. my son at the age of 17, his life was suddenly taken away... in north london today a mother tells schoolchildren about her unbearable loss. yvonne lawson's son godwin was stabbed to death in 2010. she has campaigned tirelessly to reduce knife crime, but it is now on the rise. i would like the commissioner to ensure that police officers work very closely with their local communities to ensure that they build trust. i would also like the police officers to find out the reasons why young people are carrying knives in the first place. but less money could mean a drop in the number of police officers. the rank and fil

that will be the main concern notjust for businesses in london and banks in london, but also businesses and banks on the european continent because london has very deep capital markets and it is very important for providing funding to european union businesses and governments, let's not forget. i think he was making it clear that although britain wouldn't be penalised for leaving the eu, there will be risks. the bundesbank has put up on its own website and area of information for banks looking to move to frankfurt. he said it wasn't an advert, but boy, it feeds that idea, which a number of uk banks have already said they are looking at, thatjobs will have to move in the area of foreign exchange in particular. that is called euro clearing. that will have to move on to the european continent and there will be somejob to the european continent and there will be some job losses but the bundesbank director has made it clear that london will remain the financial centre for the whole of the european union. thank you. much more on that and that interview on oui’ more on that and that intervie

for many, london is a dream destination. it is a city steeped in a rich history and maybe that is why it's the most visited city in europe. but is it still top when it comes to it's nightlife? in the last five years, an estimated a0 club venues have closed their doors in london and that has got promoters worried. some of the most iconic nightspots have simply gone. so, is london even up there any more when it comes to number one clubbing destinations worldwide? i would describe as the most diverse clubbing scene in the world, as opposed to the leading or the best. i think the reason for that is you have other cities in the world, for example, berlin, where clubbing is supported by the local authorities a little bit more positively, you could say the same for amsterdam as well. however, saying that, there is still a very strong dance music scene in london. ministry of sound is celebrating 25 years. i can't believe it. i came here in the early days. this place started off as a small club in a derelict garage and it has since b

it should be dry in london. a chance of a little rain first thing from the weather system that is bringing the wet and windy weather into france, but away from the south—east corner of england, it could be a dry, chilly, bright start across england and wales. a few showers coming into the north—west corner of england. it should have dried off by the morning for much of northern ireland. a cold and wet picture north of the central belt. for scotland, rain and snow in the hills. one or two showers further south and developing later in the day in west wales and the far south—west of england. that area of low pressure takes the rain away from the extreme south—east of england and eventually that cloud breaks as well. for many parts of the uk, it will be dry with quite a bit of sunshine but a bit colder, temperatures seven or eight degrees. looking at the showers developing in the west and south—west, that develops into a more organised band of rain. again, there could be snow in the hills. either side of t

london has benefited from the growth in the economy in london and the south—east particularly, as and the south—east particularly, as a consequence of that we believe the regions have been subsidising london because this exercise was lost on by the government seven years ago and therefore the current values don't reflect the current commercial values of the assets. but some businesses have been reporting potentially huge hikes that could put them out of business, that can't make you happy. this is a complex area, we have to look at each individual case in its isolation. we have a number of independent retailers in our portfolio, butchers and bakers for example. we have achieved good for those retailers. for our butchers the average rate although is going down. you have to look at this in isolation and it is too complex to look at it in general. the headlines on bbc news: thousands of prison officers in london and in the south—east of england are to get an instant pay increase of up to £5,000. the charity save the children say 350,000 children are trapped in western mosul as iraqi
