00:00Hello and welcome to a wet but sunny London. It feels like autumn is well and truly here now, doesn't it?
00:09This is your latest transport roundup from across the capital.
00:14First up, a protester who had climbed a clock tower in London while clutching a dog that appeared to be a Pomeranian has now been arrested, police said.
00:27The demonstrator who had unfurled a banner that read Iran belonged to its people and who wore a black t-shirt emblazoned with the words no to war, scaled the structure of King's Cross train station as onlookers watched on in disbelief.
00:47Emergency services were called to the scene. Firefighters had attempted to talk the activist down and after around three hours, they eventually persuaded him to hand over the small dog and allow it to be brought to the ground as onlookers cheered.
01:07Now, British Transport Police officers had been called following reports of a person in a precarious position.
01:16A spokesman from the police force said that a cordon had been put in place around the tower where the protester at times stood up on the ledge where he was perched and two fire engines and around 10 firefighters had assisted the police.
01:33Transport for London has apologised after passengers had been trapped on a broken down tube train for three hours during the evening peak rush and then were forced to walk along the tracks to safety.
01:49Footage from inside a 40 Jubilee line, which had become stuck between Westminster and Waterloo stations, has been going viral on social media.
02:00It showed passengers filing out of what witnesses have now described as hot and completely hacked carriages.
02:09One passenger in particular told the BBC that for about an hour or more, they received no updates at all, not even from the driver.
02:19And that was because apparently the power had been cut out.
02:24TfL has added that it apologised to Jubilee line customers who had been held on a faulty train the previous evening.
02:32One of the passengers said it had taken 30 minutes after the train had stopped for any communication whatsoever.
02:39She said that eventually the driver had made an announcement over the intercoms, the tannoy's, saying that there was an electrical problem in another carriage.
02:51She added that they had not been given much detail at all, but had seen an engineer passing through the carriages.
02:59So, you gTs?
03:00So, when the drivers say this, I want to get distracted, and I won't lap some currencies.
03:01So, I hope they have seen an improvements in the moment on this kind of Israel, and the one that has been made, over awesome, and the other day we hope the AssimCol is really starts fishing and then on that kind of Hannah K suicide.
03:07So, at least, I hold on the way, and it looks immediately back at all, but I have been diyor with twoiş意 by Alexander K who did not really very much effort to frame, anirling in a reality.
03:09I've listed a bit of a рус country about these alot ofranians.
