we're forecasting a 1% rise in london. and interestingly in the last six months 1% ahead of the prior year. there is momentum there. it's been a lot of talk in investment in the middle and the northern powerhouse. again, we think rise is going to be higher as they were this year in the ge of 2% to 4% middle regions. original picture, but actually everyone in positive territory. what are to you think the breakdown is going to look like? what does it look like now, miles, in terms of foreign and s to actually locate how does it change over the coming years? >> well, we talked about when is the bottom of the london market. and of course, i will when is the right time for london to buy. and looking by as i've said in the last six month, we've seen them agree. and actually once the year has ended on a 1.5 annual fall in london, any month that we're seing in the last 15 months, actually that's the the second best foul. when i think we might well be moving to the london market. actually recover it. and we've not seen and all yun.

just behind me is the scene on london bridge. the forensic tent that marks the exact spot where 28—year—old usman khan was shot dead by armed officers has been removed but many of the buses and vehicles are still on the bridge this morning. that friday afternoon people were simply told to evacuate the bridge, get away. there was lots of confusion. many people running, screaming, lots of confusion, pandemonium. two people killed, three others seriously injured, currently recovering in hospital. the big question is how and why this happened. the ministry ofjustice has launched an urgent review into the licensing conditions of those released from jail following terrorist activities. usman khan was one of those convicted in 2012 for a plot to carry out bombing the london stock exchange group. he was given 16 years. he was released after eight years in december 2018. as far as the metropolitan police are concerned he was complying with strict licensing conditions. 0ne concerned he was complying with strict licensing conditions. on
