to school here, elderly being treated by the doctors, so they are

not leaving Basildon. We will hear from Basildon Council. Also on the

:01:12.:01:17.

back to the UK's largest illegal travellers' site in Essex, taking

Basildon Council 10 years at a cost of around �20 million to Vic the

:01:22.:01:25.

families from Dale Farm. The job of removing all the caravans and

:01:25.:01:29.

chalets from the 51 unauthorised plots was completed on Monday, but

:01:30.:01:33.

this morning some of the travellers were back, vowing to continue their

:01:33.:01:37.

fight to return to what they describe as home. Alex Bushill

:01:37.:01:41.

reports. Just as the clean-up operation

:01:41.:01:44.

draws to a close, they have returned. Basildon Council has

:01:44.:01:47.

spent the last four weeks and millions of pounds evicting illegal

:01:47.:01:52.

travellers from the site at Dale Farm. It is easy to tell which were

:01:52.:01:56.

the illegal plots, they are marked by these craters. These walls of

:01:56.:01:59.

earth were aimed at preventing them from returning, but they have

:01:59.:02:04.

failed. And this stretch of road alone, there are now 11 caravans.

:02:04.:02:10.

This access road is bound by Patrick Egan, and he has welcomed

:02:10.:02:14.

others back who are not entitled to stay here. The council were told

:02:14.:02:17.

before the eviction to provide them with places to go, and they would

:02:17.:02:22.

not do it. He even temporary places, they would not do it. Now they have

:02:22.:02:26.

got nowhere to go, and when they get the 28 day notices, when they

:02:26.:02:31.

do get them, before they are, they are going to have to go to cowpox

:02:31.:02:38.

in the area or fields in this area. They are not leaving Basildon.

:02:38.:02:42.

Given their return, was the eviction and all the money it costs

:02:42.:02:46.

to carry out a wasted effort? have been many threats made by the

:02:46.:02:49.

travellers that they would move back on, move to the Tesco car park

:02:49.:02:55.

and so forth, moving to my garden where I live in a mansion, which is

:02:55.:02:59.

news to my wife! So far, up until today, those threats have not been

:02:59.:03:05.

carried out. We cannot condone any more breaches of criminal law.

:03:05.:03:08.

Local residents in the settled community simply despair, people

:03:08.:03:11.

like Christine, who has run his neighbouring garden centre for 25

:03:12.:03:17.

years. Oh, I just think it is horrendous. The money that has been

:03:17.:03:22.

spent. It gives the area a bad name. Tonight, from those travellers who

:03:22.:03:26.

have now returned, a threat: They are only the first, and they

:03:26.:03:30.

promise that more will follow. And we can join Alex Bushill at the

:03:30.:03:36.

Dale Farm site now. Are there more developments tonight? Well, yes,

:03:36.:03:40.

this evening four caravans that was cited further up the road have

:03:40.:03:44.

moved. Were they were was subject to the original High Court

:03:44.:03:48.

injunction, which meant that the orders could have been arrested and

:03:48.:03:52.

been in contempt of court, facing prison sentences. Instead, the

:03:52.:03:55.

owners have moved them further down the road. It means that where they

:03:55.:03:59.

are now, if the council wants to move them on, they have to restart

:03:59.:04:03.

the legal process. In summary, it seems the travellers are playing a

:04:03.:04:07.

canny game of cat-and-mouse, and fauna at least the council are

:04:07.:04:14.

playing catch-up. -- for now. Coming up later in the programme:

:04:15.:04:19.

While London is the most attractive city in Europe for foreign shoppers.

:04:19.:04:27.

-- why. Sarena Ali lost her baby and her

:04:27.:04:31.

own life as a result of a gross failure at an Essex hospital, that

:04:31.:04:35.

is the verdict of an inquest into the death of the young mother, who

:04:35.:04:38.

died at Queen's Hospital in Romford earlier this year. A coroner has

:04:38.:04:43.

found that nursing staff failed to monitor her properly when she

:04:43.:04:46.

experienced problems during childbirth. Paul Curran reports.

:04:46.:04:50.

The failings in the treatment Sarena Ali received was so serious

:04:51.:04:55.

the coroner ruled they amounted to neglect, a rare verdict for an

:04:55.:04:59.

inquest. This is his actual word, neglect, they neglected her

:04:59.:05:03.

throughout. Like especially the last three or four hours she was

:05:03.:05:10.

being neglected, and she was asking for help, and I was going back and

:05:10.:05:14.

forwards for help. Nobody helped. Sarena Ali went to the Queen's

:05:14.:05:18.

Hospital in Romford in January to be induced. Within hours, she was

:05:18.:05:22.

complaining of constant pain. Despite this, midwives failed to

:05:22.:05:25.

monitor properly. Several times her husband and her brother begged them

:05:25.:05:30.

to help, but they were fobbed off. They were all standing behind the

:05:30.:05:33.

counter and chatting. They were laughing with each other. They

:05:33.:05:37.

ignored me completely. Clare Phillips was a patient of the

:05:37.:05:42.

antenatal ward at the same time. There was not a smile for you, are

:05:42.:05:47.

you OK? There was not any of that. You know, if you do not want to do

:05:47.:05:50.

the job, do not do the job, no matter how much under pressure you

:05:50.:05:54.

are, it does not take a minute for a smile or a bit of reassurance.

:05:54.:05:58.

There was none of that. Sarena Ali eventually collapsed with a

:05:58.:06:02.

ruptured womb. Her baby was delivered by Caesarean section but

:06:02.:06:09.

was dead. Sarena died five days later. Two midwives have been

:06:09.:06:13.

suspended, once seen leaving court and a scarf said that staff were

:06:13.:06:15.

overworked. But a review by the hospital said their attitudes were

:06:15.:06:20.

to blame. We as a trust have made extensive changes to our maternity

:06:20.:06:24.

services in recent months, hiring more than 70 extra midwives, new

:06:24.:06:28.

consultants and retraining a number of staff. Our systems have been

:06:28.:06:31.

improved, new ways of working have been introduced to ensure that

:06:31.:06:36.

women are receiving dedicated 1-1 care during labour. Even after

:06:36.:06:40.

Sarena Ali's death, I have heard patients complaining about that. It

:06:40.:06:44.

is not a culture that will change overnight. It will need a lot of

:06:44.:06:49.

hard work. Of course, no changes can bring back this man's wife or

:06:49.:06:58.

baby, but also -- he hopes no one else will suffer their fate.

:06:58.:07:02.

The inquest into the death of a teenager who died in a nightclub

:07:02.:07:06.

crush has heard she died from injuries that affected her breeding.

:07:06.:07:08.

Laurene-Danielle Jackson was injured at the Lava & Ignite

:07:08.:07:12.

nightclub in Northampton when partygoers rushed towards the exit.

:07:12.:07:16.

Another north London teenage girl was also killed in the incident.

:07:16.:07:20.

Tottenham Hotspur Football Club has announced it plans to stop trading

:07:20.:07:23.

shares in the club on the Stock Exchange. Chairman Daniel Levy says

:07:23.:07:27.

that Spurs need to become a private company in order to raise the

:07:27.:07:30.

necessary funds to build a bigger stadium. The club hopes to delist

:07:30.:07:35.

its shares in January. The road signs that will be used to

:07:35.:07:39.

mark out the Olympic lanes next summer have been revealed. The

:07:39.:07:43.

signs show how motorists and buses will have to give way to official

:07:43.:07:47.

vehicles. The priority lanes of four athletes, sponsors and VIPs.

:07:47.:07:51.

The signs will be installed next year but will not become active

:07:51.:07:58.

until a few days before the opening ceremony of the 27th July.

:07:58.:08:01.

The anti-capitalist protesters outside St Paul's Cathedral have

:08:01.:08:05.

been given 24 hours to pack up their tents and leave. The City of

:08:05.:08:08.

London Corporation has attached eviction notices too tense with a

:08:08.:08:11.

warning that the demonstrators will face legal action if they cannot

:08:11.:08:21.
:08:21.:08:22.

Another busy day for St Paul's activists. Yesterday the mayor

:08:22.:08:26.

caught them crusties, today some name-calling of their own at City

:08:26.:08:31.

Hall. Back at camp, a feeling of deja vu. The City of London

:08:31.:08:36.

Corporation have said to the press that they will be serving a notice

:08:36.:08:41.

of addiction today. We were here a fortnight ago, but legal action was

:08:41.:08:44.

suspended while talks took place between the camp and Corporation,

:08:44.:08:51.

talks that broke down. So legal action went alive again today. This

:08:51.:08:55.

is the lawyer who obviously pulled the short straw, he is handing out

:08:55.:08:59.

eviction notices, sticking them on to the various attends. As soon as

:08:59.:09:04.

they were attached, activists cut them off. Does it matter that they

:09:04.:09:08.

are cutting their Mark? BELL RINGS, it does not matter, it

:09:08.:09:16.

Looking at the mood around me, I do not think anyone is going to want

:09:16.:09:20.

to shift in the next 24 hours, no. Will you be here in six months'

:09:20.:09:24.

time? It is not for me to say, I could not prejudge what will happen

:09:24.:09:32.

legally. The Corporation of London, before this eviction takes place,

:09:32.:09:36.

it will have to go to committee, and that may slow things down. Also,

:09:36.:09:39.

the tents on this side of the pavement are on Corporation of

:09:39.:09:42.

London Land, but if you follow this line of bollards, the tense to the

:09:42.:09:46.

left of that are on St Paul's ground, and that could slow things

:09:46.:09:50.

down. The legal arguments will probably centre around whether

:09:50.:09:53.

people's right to access the pavement drums the rights of people

:09:53.:10:02.

to protest in this particular way. The mayor has been accused of

:10:02.:10:06.

making misleading claims to MPs relating to inaccurate figures he

:10:06.:10:10.

presented about the success of his key youth crime project. Today

:10:10.:10:13.

Boris Johnson admitted that he has been warned by his own officials

:10:13.:10:18.

not to use interim reoffending figures. Political editor Tim

:10:18.:10:22.

Donovan explains. The mayor claimed last year that

:10:22.:10:26.

his special unit at Eltham was reducing reoffending from 80% down

:10:26.:10:32.

to 14%. Alarmed, the head of the project wrote to City Hall in

:10:32.:10:35.

January, saying this was wrong. The date of the mayor used was just an

:10:35.:10:39.

indicator and should not be taken as the formal reconviction rate. As

:10:39.:10:43.

such, it is not directly comparable to the national rate of reoffending

:10:44.:10:49.

for this age group. But it did not stop the mayor, who repeated the

:10:49.:10:56.

claims before MPs in August. We cut reoffending rates down to 19%, that

:10:56.:10:58.

is a model that should be replicated around the country.

:10:58.:11:02.

Eltham project gives extra support to inmates. It is very important to

:11:02.:11:07.

the mayor's credibility in tackling youth crime. The UK Statistics

:11:07.:11:10.

Authority has already raised concerns about his claims, and

:11:10.:11:15.

today he described its head as a Labour stooge. Why did you continue

:11:15.:11:23.

to use these figures? Well, if I should have... I could have... If I

:11:23.:11:27.

heard, it was in not saying, these figures are temporary, provisional,

:11:27.:11:32.

they do not represent the final analysis, and we will have to see

:11:32.:11:38.

how the unit fares in succeeding years and months. Exactly what

:11:39.:11:42.

impact this has on reoffending will only be known once offenders have

:11:42.:11:45.

been tracked for a year after they have been released, that is the way

:11:45.:11:49.

the Ministry of Justice calculates these things. But there is

:11:49.:11:52.

information emerging already which indicates the project is not having

:11:52.:11:56.

the desired impact. The offenders are hand-picked for

:11:56.:12:00.

the unit, and BT aim is to get them into college or a job when they

:12:00.:12:05.

leave, but in the 18 months to March, of 136 offenders released,

:12:05.:12:10.

24 had been in education, training or employment for six months, just

:12:10.:12:16.

17%. In the last six months alone, of 42 offenders, just five are

:12:16.:12:20.

studying or are in a job, a rate of only 12%. Clearly, the state of the

:12:20.:12:25.

current jobs market could be having an impact, but it is by no means

:12:25.:12:28.

clear that when the formal assessment is revealed, it will

:12:28.:12:38.
:12:38.:12:38.

have proved effective for worth the More now on the trial into the

:12:38.:12:41.

killing of Stephen Lawrence. Today three eyewitnesses gave their

:12:41.:12:45.

account of what they saw on the night the teenager was attacked in

:12:45.:12:49.

south-east London back in 1993. Home affairs correspondent Guy

:12:49.:12:52.

Smith has been in court and joins us now from the Old Bailey. What

:12:52.:12:59.

has the jury heard today? Well, the first eyewitness was a hospital

:12:59.:13:02.

worker at the time, and he had just finished a ship. He told the jury

:13:02.:13:08.

that it was a cold but clear night on a full 22nd 1993. He was waiting

:13:08.:13:17.

for a bus at a bus stop in Eltham. As were two Blackboys, Stephen

:13:17.:13:21.

Lawrence and Dwayne Brooks. They were talking about football,

:13:21.:13:24.

general chit-chat. They had been waiting for some time for the bus,

:13:25.:13:29.

so the two voice walked down the road when a group of white youths

:13:29.:13:32.

appeared, than cross the road and surrounded the Pep. He said that

:13:32.:13:36.

when Brooks got away, but Stephen Lawrence didn't. He said that he

:13:36.:13:40.

went down by the sheer weight of numbers. These were his words,

:13:41.:13:50.
:13:51.:14:04.

Well, two days later, when he heard that one of the two boys had been

:14:04.:14:09.

killed, he said that it was quite a shock. Did any of the other

:14:09.:14:14.

witnesses described the attack in more detail? Well, there was a

:14:14.:14:18.

second witness, Alexander Murray, a French au pair at the time, who was

:14:18.:14:22.

also waiting for a bus. She said the two black men were happy and

:14:23.:14:27.

nice. She was sitting down having a cigarette then the attack happened,

:14:27.:14:37.
:14:37.:14:52.

I gather one of the witnesses gave a description of one of the

:14:52.:14:57.

attackers. Yes, Joseph Shepheard was visiting his girlfriend in the

:14:57.:15:02.

area. He also lived on the same estate as Stephen Lawrence, so he

:15:02.:15:07.

knew him by sight. He also saw the attack on Stephen, and he gave a

:15:07.:15:11.

description of four white youths. Under cross-examination, he was

:15:11.:15:15.

asked what he meant by fair-haired, when he was describing one of the

:15:15.:15:19.

attackers. Quite unusually, he looked around the courtroom and

:15:19.:15:24.

pointed to a woman, who was asked to stand up and show the colour of

:15:24.:15:30.

her hair. In fact, it was the chief crown prosecutor for London. Well,

:15:30.:15:32.

tomorrow here at the Old Bailey we will hear more evidence,

:15:32.:15:42.
:15:42.:15:44.

particularly from Dwayne Brooks, Still to come tonight: I'm at the

:15:44.:15:48.

Shaftesbury Theatre as the actors or not for the special gala

:15:48.:15:53.

performance of Rock of Ages for Children In Need. Some of us saw

:15:53.:15:58.

the Sun today. How much blue sky tomorrow and what sort of weather

:15:58.:16:04.

can Pudsey expect on Friday? A full weather forecast for you later in

the programme. London is the top city in Europe

:16:07.:16:14.

for shopping. That's according to a new chart by the Economist which

:16:14.:16:18.

has rated cities according to their attractiveness to foreign shoppers.

:16:19.:16:21.

And in London's case, those shoppers are worth �3 billion to

:16:21.:16:25.

the economy. Alice Bhandhukravi reports.

:16:25.:16:30.

You might think that London is an expensive city and the millions of

:16:30.:16:34.

tourists who visit every year may agree with you. But they are still

:16:34.:16:38.

coming and they are still spending and that's because London now

:16:38.:16:43.

officially has the best shopping in Europe. I think what London Office,

:16:43.:16:48.

which many other cities in Europe do not offer, is the range of

:16:48.:16:54.

stores and brands. We have seen many start their expansion from the

:16:54.:16:59.

UK, from London into the rest of Europe. Tax-free shopping has

:16:59.:17:03.

increased 30% since last year and the fastest growing group of

:17:03.:17:07.

The average amount spent by a Chinese chopper in London it is

:17:17.:17:22.

over �1,000 every time they go to the till. -- shopper. Browns, in

:17:22.:17:26.

the West End, is an internationally renowned British retail and knows

:17:26.:17:30.

the importance of its foreign customer base which accounts for

:17:30.:17:35.

60% of sales. By the end of this year, it will have a special

:17:35.:17:39.

website devoted to Chinese customers written entirely in

:17:39.:17:43.

Mandarin. But his London actually benefiting from all this?

:17:43.:17:49.

Absolutely. Certainly there is a portion of the spending which is

:17:49.:17:54.

very high end, so tourists come in and go to high end jewellery shops

:17:54.:17:58.

and spend lots of money, but it's not only that. We see high street

:17:58.:18:03.

stores, brand names, chain stores, seeing a lot of foreign tourists

:18:03.:18:08.

going in. Retailer is a very important area of job growth for

:18:08.:18:13.

London. Both the leisure and tourist and retail sectors are very

:18:14.:18:19.

very strong and are providing new jobs for Londoners, and that is a

:18:19.:18:23.

really important thing. Important especially if the rest of the

:18:23.:18:29.

economy is dragging its heels. Children in Need night is almost

:18:29.:18:35.

upon us and people across the capital are helping to raise money.

:18:35.:18:39.

We're doing our bit too, thanks to the cast of the West End show, Rock

:18:39.:18:42.

of Ages, in a special BBC London gala performance. Let's join Wendy

:18:42.:18:49.

Hurrell at the Shaftsbury Theatre now. It looks like it's filling up

:18:49.:18:56.

there, Wendy. It certainly is. The audience is here, Vanessa, gabby

:18:56.:19:03.

Roslin, and a true star of the show, lovely Pudsey, who is being mobbed

:19:03.:19:08.

so far. All of tonight's money from Rock of Ages goes towards Children

:19:08.:19:14.

In Need and goes to projects like Dream art, which helps inner-city

:19:15.:19:19.

children whose parents don't have money for art projects and after-

:19:31.:19:36.

coming here in Westminster. The project runs art classes for young

:19:36.:19:40.

people who live in the inner-city across London. We are taught

:19:40.:19:43.

lessons in acting, singing and dancing. All the things I would

:19:43.:19:50.

like to do but couldn't it was not for this place. We could be like

:21:04.:21:08.

can make you a success. When I'm older I want to be a singer so it's

:21:08.:21:14.

important that I come here. Thank you for supporting us. And keep

giving to Children In Need. Yes! Just like they said, she might be

:21:22.:21:28.

on this very stage some time soon, because she wants to be a singer.

:21:28.:21:32.

That's what the money goes to for Children In Need, not just about

:21:32.:21:37.

gala performances. It's about raising money for projects just

:21:37.:21:42.

like that. We hoped we could talk to some of the stars of the show.

:21:43.:21:49.

Here he is! Hello, young man. You are on BBC London. If there was

:21:49.:21:56.

ever a show for you, this is good, isn't it? Yes, my hair lends itself

:21:56.:22:00.

beautifully to musical theatre. are you feeling about tonight?

:22:00.:22:06.

looking forward to it, excited. It's such a great show, a real

:22:06.:22:11.

party atmosphere to it up. We are doing it now for charity. I'm

:22:11.:22:21.
:22:21.:22:22.

excited. Gabby is here as well. How are you doing? He's not letting go.

:22:22.:22:29.

I love her. Did you ever think you might be on stage with a big yellow

:22:29.:22:33.

bear dancing with you? No, I watched Children In Need every year,

:22:33.:22:40.

ever since I was a child. I was extremely lucky, and I would watch

:22:40.:22:44.

it every year. I never thought one day I would get to dance with that

:22:45.:22:52.

one-eyed a beer -- bear. You can still give money on our website at.

:22:52.:22:57.

Rock on! When the, good luck tonight. --

Wendy. She's a Londoner and a fully trained nurse who has worked at

:23:02.:23:04.

Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital. Now Christie Watson has

:23:04.:23:07.

just been nominated for the Costa First Book Award for her debut

:23:07.:23:10.

novel, Tiny Sunbirds, Far Away. And I'm pleased today she's joined us

:23:10.:23:15.

this evening. What an incredible achievement. How do you feel?

:23:15.:23:20.

been a crazy couple of days. I'm very excited, delighted, shocked. I

:23:20.:23:25.

don't think it has sunk in yet. only started writing a few years

:23:25.:23:31.

ago. It was after my daughter was born. Seriously, in the last five

:23:31.:23:35.

years. But, the last three years I have been editing very hard but

:23:35.:23:39.

it's been quite a quick process in the world of literary novels

:23:39.:23:44.

because sometimes they take 10 years or more, so I have been lucky.

:23:44.:23:51.

It's your first book. I know it is set in Nigeria. What is it about?

:23:51.:23:55.

little girl whose life changes be on believe he goes from a

:23:55.:23:58.

comfortable life to a very basic countryside life after her mother

:23:58.:24:04.

finds her father on top of another woman. There's a lot of politics

:24:04.:24:09.

and the background. Have your family giving you their

:24:10.:24:17.

predictions? My father-in-law has written me a cast of characters in

:24:17.:24:22.

K-side have forgotten who I have written about, but they are very

:24:22.:24:29.

proud and supportive. Have you given up being a nurse? I'm a full-

:24:29.:24:32.

time writer but I keep my hand in and it's to have got to leave

:24:32.:24:38.

nursing. It's such a huge part of my life. I am a writer and a nurse.

:24:38.:24:42.

Some authors in other categories, there are some really interesting

:24:42.:24:48.

people including Julian Barnes. How does it feel when this is your

:24:48.:24:52.

first book and you are among the some of the literary greats, if you

:24:52.:24:58.

like? It must be quite a feeling. Pretty terrifying and awe-inspiring

:24:58.:25:03.

are the same time. I can't imagine how it feels for him. He must think,

:25:03.:25:09.

who is this person who has come from nowhere? I feel really proud.

:25:09.:25:18.

Well, Christie Watson, best of luck. Thank you for joining us. Let's get

:25:18.:25:28.
:25:28.:25:30.

Just in case you didn't see any, I managed to find some sunshine.

:25:30.:25:33.

Annabel is collecting for the children's charity, rays of

:25:34.:25:37.

sunshine, and we are going to be collecting for Children In Need

:25:37.:25:43.

late on this week. Today, well, more grey skies than blue sky, but

:25:43.:25:47.

eventually tomorrow, we should end up with more blue-sky than grey sky,

:25:47.:25:52.

so a change overnight tonight. This evening, well, the cloud is back

:25:52.:25:57.

for that it is pretty misty outside London. It has been misty all day.

:25:57.:26:01.

I think it will stay dry for the first part of the night, but later

:26:01.:26:06.

on we will get some rain and weak weather fronts arriving. Minimum

:26:06.:26:12.

temperatures, 7-8 Celsius, something like that for that

:26:12.:26:16.

tomorrow morning, a dull and damp start as the breeze blows from the

:26:16.:26:22.

south. In the afternoon, the breeze will be blowing from the West and

:26:22.:26:26.

it should clear the cloud away and we could see a reasonable amount of

:26:26.:26:31.

sunshine and temperatures of 14 Celsius. Friday, bright and breezy.

:26:31.:26:38.

So, if you are earning some money for Pudsey, the weather is looking

:26:38.:26:45.

fine for that. The weekend, back where we started, cloud and a dull,

:26:45.:26:53.

grey mornings. Before that, the short-term outlook is for some

:26:53.:27:00.

brighter skies and a bit of Peter, thank you very much. A look

:27:00.:27:03.

at tonight's main headlines. The Government is promising to do

:27:03.:27:08.

more to help the young unemployed. New figures show a record high of

:27:08.:27:12.

more than a million who are now looking for work.

:27:12.:27:15.

Doctors have called for an outright ban on smoking in your own car,

:27:15.:27:18.

saying there is evidence of drivers being exposed to high levels of

:27:18.:27:25.

harmful poisons. Critics say it would be an invasion of privacy.

:27:25.:27:28.

After a ten-year battle costing millions of pounds, travellers who

:27:28.:27:31.

were evicted from Dale Farm in Essex have come back, vowing to

:27:31.:27:35.

continue the fight to return to what they describe as home.
