London Tonight Tonight Wednesday the 18th July

Good Afternoon one and all.

We hope you're all well and enjoying what's left of your Wednesday.

Busy programme this evening and, of course, the BIG news is the story about one of the companies that's been given an awful lot of money to maintain the tube. Metronet has effectively gone belly up - called in the administrators this morning. They say they're owed half a billion quid for work they've done above and beyond their contract. Not many other people seem to agree - which has left them rather short. So, what of our tube journeys? What of the workers? What of the bills that need paying? Simon Harris is our man with the answers.

Actually, there seems to be rather a lot of people playing the blame game this evening. A businessman who slipped over at Marylebone said rotting petals from a florist were to blame... the owner of the florist said there's no proof... a judge said it probably WAS the petals and says there's rather a lot of compensation due (we're talking over a MILLION). Quite a barney. Lots at stake. Glen Goodman's on top of it all.

Now, every parent will tell you that little boy or girl is one in a million. Mr and Mrs Fitzgerald can rightly claim that their son Lucas is rather rarer. Like, er, doctors didn't know of another living child with his deadly condition. How was he cured? Who cured him? Liz Wickham has been to meet the Family Fitzgerald.

We'll also be looking back at 30 years of rocking against racism... there'll be the latest on the two London schoolgirls accused of drug-smuggling in Ghana... and our Chrissie will tell you just how much rain we're going to have tomorrow.

See you at SIX. On ITV1.
