Good afternoon - and what a soggy one it must be for all those climate change protestors in tents at Heathrow! Nevertheless, as promised, Simon Harris was given a guided tour of the site today, and has been quizzing the campaigners on plans to cause chaos for holidaymakers.
But we start the show tonight with a terrible story. The tragic death of a two year old - stabbed to death by her own mother. Police were called to a flat in Barking in the early hours of this morning where they made the gruesome discovery. Ronke Phillips has been talking to neighbours who had already reported the woman's erratic behaviour, and voiced their concerns over her child's safety. It all raises the question - could this little girl's life have been saved?
Next - how can we avoid paying to drive into our city? Well it's simple according to Ken Livingstone, who plans to allow small cars a free ride when the congestion charge is reviewed in Feb 2008. If your car has a small carbon tyre print - no more charge, but for the gas guzzlers there will be a hefty bill to pay. Ben Scotchbrook has the complete run down on exactly who will be exempt.
When Bradley Evans travelled to Turkey on a diving holiday, he knew his father was due to have heart surgery next week, so stayed in regular contact. But last Monday, the phone calls stopped - he had vanished. His family have been telling Marcus Powell how it is completely out of character, and how they are worried sick about what has happened to him.
On to entertainment - and what more do you need than the fabulous Avenue Q! Celebrating their 500th show in the West End, the cast have been telling Jasmine Lowson all about the avenue's appeal, and how their Sesame street-style characters manage to keep adult audiences giggling. I certainly had sore sides after my visit - not for the easily outraged though!
No such strong language in London Tonight of course - so make sure you tune in for all the latest at 6.
