Ken Livingstone has announced a £100 billion plan for the redevelopment of London.

The capital's mayor faces renewed questions over his alleged involvement in a drunken brawl.

Livingstone will be called before an emergency meeting of the London assembly to face questions over the brawl that ended with a man being taken unconscious to hospital.

The row overshadows the mayor's strategic plan which is set to create office space for 600,000 extra workers - an office building boom equivalent to 75 Canary Wharf towers, the FT reports.

There are also plans for the building of 130 new schools, several new railway lines and three new river crossings in East London.

Livingstone is facing renewed claims that he lied to assembly members on Wednesday when he made a personal statement on his involvement in a fracas at a 40th birthday party.

The man, an Evening Standard journalist, injured in the incident issued a statement undermining Livingstone's claim that reporting of the incident was "scurrilous".

Following new press reports, Labour's Trevor Phillips, chairman of the assembly, agreed to a special meeting of the GLA next week.
