Hello from the London Tonight team... its another packed show with some truly powerful stories.
For example how do you feel about the new advert showing the bus blown up in Tavistock Square with the line, "Last year, four suicidal British men got our attention. Unfortunately, 983 others didn't". It's been created to highlight mental illness. It certainly does that but we'll be asking if it goes too far.
Then there's the appalling injuries to Mark Dietrich. His crime was to ask for a van, blocking the road, to be moved. It resulted in Mark having every bone in his face broken as his attacker jumped on his head with both feet. Not surprisingly, police are desperate to catch this maniac.
Remember Lotfi Raissi. He was the pilot from West London who was jailed on suspicion of teaching the September the 11th hijackers how to fly. After five months in prison the Algerian was freed without charge. Now he wants compensation but the Home Office is saying no. We'll be hearing from Lotfi at the start of the case he hopes will finally bring him justice...and cash.
We'll also be catching up with the Von Trapp's...not the originals you'll understand but the cast of the new West End show "The Sound of Music". It promises to be another huge hit for Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Its all coming up in London Tonight for you at 6. Hope you can join Katie and me then.
Willsy
