LONDON TONIGHT TONIGHT: Monday August 14th

Hi - from Alastair and Tamzin!

We hope you had a good weekend. Lots of people, this end, needed the break after the tension of the Damilola verdict on Wednesday and then the amazing story about the alleged airliner bomb plot on Thursday and Friday.

And, perhaps no surprise, the people running our airports still have their under-garmets in a twist over safety: Government Ministers were saying one thing while the boss at Heathrow said another. It's pretty well sorted now but we've the Big Boss of the British Airports Authority on the programme to ask why, when it concerns something as fundamental as airline safety, it wasn't a Rolls-Royce operation.
Lots of you may still have a holiday to take and we know lots of you work at the airports or for the airlines so we think you'll want to know. Ben will have all the very latest details.

A gruesome story that shook us all last week was the suggestion that the Croydon garden of a convicted paedophile may hide the remains of two youngsters. Well, today the police start the ghastly business of proving or disproving that suggestion: Jon is there for you.

Simon is still in Athens reflecting on the lessons that London 2012 can learn from the most recent Games. It's a stunning city and Simon's produced a beautiful piece: you'll enjoy it.

Define the classic female cat-walk model: six-foot-something; size six or eight; East London accent, aristocratic looks......
It's all a lot of tired cliches isn't it?
But that is the sort of image that dominates the market and especially the glossy mags. Well, a new agency on the block plans to shake that up a bit by giving the beautiful women of the sub-continent a better break. Ronke's been strutting her stuff with the wonderful women of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh who certainly aren't too sexy for the cat-walk....

Plus, a look at helping those in low wage employment get a home even if their "take-home" isn't all it might be....

And Chris on the victims of flash flooding in Chobham with Chrissie on why it happened and whether it will happen again.

See you at 6!
