London Tonight Tonight Wednesday 11th July

Good Afternoon from the 'London Tonight' gang,

We hope you're all enjoying the fact that having slaved past midday on this Wednesday, we are now - officially - over half way through the week. That means talk in the canteen and by the noticeboard can legitimately turn to plans for the weekend.

We do still have the day's news to take care of... and we start with a bit of a barney, frankly. And it's a barney which really could effect all of us. Published today - proposals for a massive makeover of the way healthcare is organised and provided here in London. It'll mean benefits for patients says the Health Minister behind it. It'll be a complete disaster says a London health charity. Emma Walden has the details - and after she's presented all the arguments - we'll be looking to hear your points of view... please.

It's likely you'll have an opinion on the three youngsters who've been caught on camera as they run this way and that across a live railway line near Staines. The pictures take your breath away. The kids were lucky a train didn't take their lives away. The BTP gave us the pictures to show and we'll be hearing from a man who's son was hit and killed by a train.

Ronke Phillips probably has the most difficult story to cover this evening - it's the launch of a new campaign by the Met to clampdown on the dreadful custom of female circumcision. Girls as young as four are subjected to the brutal act which many defend in the name of tradition or religion. It's a powerful report.

And we'll be asking whether the elderly should get privileged parking... whether a talented and popular 'music meister' has what it takes to wow the art critics... and what on earth Chrissie is doing on the beach... in Greenwich.

Much to see - all at the usual time, usual place.

See you at SIX on ITV1.
