London Tonight Tonight Monday 9th July

Afternoon.
A child will look you in the eye and say "I didn't mean to !"
Most times, you soften and give them the benefit of the doubt.
And you must have heard "that's not what I meant" a million times.
But a jury was eye-balled by three men who said, despite packing rucksacks with a bizarre and potentially deadly mixture of explosive materials, and setting foot on tube trains and buses with trigger devices at the ready that "they didn't mean to" and that mass murder was "not what they meant".
The Jury told them to take a hike, found them guilty and they await sentencing.
The full, horryfying story of the 21/7 bombers at 6.

I love "Make me Smile" by Cockney Rebel - Steve Harley, lead singer of Cockney Rebel, doesn't. Well, not anymore it seems. He is coming in tonight to explain himself. Not really. He is coming in to explain what he's doing on the West End Stage but we might mention "Make me Smile". He also says he was visited as a sick child by the Rolling Stones. I am deeply envious and would have feined serious illness to win such a benediction. He saw my idols and he dislikes one of my favourite songs? Katie will have to turn referee, me thinks.
Did the Stones wash their hands before and after seeing the poorly young Harley? I have my doubts. Nowadays it is a more serious matter with MRSA and cDiff. We reveal the Hospital which has received a final warning over cleanliness. If the NHS safety people don't get Satisfaction, the Hospital will be told that was The Last Time.

There's a by-election in Southall on the 19th - we look at the runners and riders in what looks like a fascinating race, and a real test for all the parties amid talk of early elections.
Weather, papers and your e-mails on hospital cleanliness and I hope you give us a clean bill of health for what has the symptoms of being a rather interesting programme.
Best wishes from the man in the white coat, Alastair, and the calm but authoritative woman, clutching her referee's whistle, Katie.
See you at 6.
