That's all from us. Now the news where you are.

:00:00.:00:00.

Tonight on BBC London News. Celebrations in Lewisham ` the

:00:00.:00:08.

campaigners who defeated the Government's plans to cut their

:00:09.:00:13.

hospital services. We'll ask what today's decision means for other

:00:14.:00:16.

London hospitals. Also tonight: The Prime Minister

:00:17.:00:20.

says he wants London to become the West's greatest centre for Islamic

:00:21.:00:25.

finance. More tales of lucky escapes from St

:00:26.:00:29.

Jude's storm, as the clean up continues.

:00:30.:00:34.

Plus: Her Majesty in Brixton ` indulging in one of her greatest

:00:35.:00:36.

passions. Good evening, and welcome to the

:00:37.:00:57.

programme. First night, the Prime Minister has said he wants London's

:00:58.:01:01.

stock exchange to be at the centre of the flummoxed financial markets.

:01:02.:01:07.

He has also announced plans to open an Islamic index. This is to cash in

:01:08.:01:20.

on a sector that has seen a 150% increase in investment over the last

:01:21.:01:24.

seven years. We want to make London one of the greatest centres for

:01:25.:01:27.

Islamic finance anywhere in the world. During this conference there

:01:28.:01:36.

will be new support for Islamic entrepreneurs. David Cameron was

:01:37.:01:39.

addressing some of the key figures in the Islamic financial world, and

:01:40.:01:43.

hoping to convince them that the real Centre for Islamic finance lies

:01:44.:01:53.

here. We are in the ideal time zone. We have the rule of law here, which

:01:54.:01:58.

is important to investors. We have the English language, and above all,

:01:59.:02:03.

many of these people went to school or university in this country. The

:02:04.:02:09.

capital's Skylab already shows sign of investment using so`called sharia

:02:10.:02:17.

principles. `` skyline. If you update your phone, my profit rate is

:02:18.:02:23.

?5. ?15 for the phone, and in five years' time, you pay me ?15 for the

:02:24.:02:28.

phone. What happens if I cannot afford that ?15? You take a risk.

:02:29.:02:35.

There is no additional payment along `` other than the ?15. Part of

:02:36.:02:42.

today's big cell was an index of companies that comply with this law.

:02:43.:02:48.

Will this make London more attractive, or just more

:02:49.:02:52.

complicated? The transaction has to be more complicated, because you

:02:53.:02:55.

have to find a way to structure it to make it looks like it isn't

:02:56.:03:03.

interest. You can debate whether or not that really works, whether or

:03:04.:03:09.

not it is really interest, but it is certainly no simpler than the

:03:10.:03:13.

transactions we know about. London needs to look to new places if it is

:03:14.:03:17.

to save the world finance capital. The Islamic way of doing things just

:03:18.:03:26.

might be the answer. Lots more to come, including an exceptional

:03:27.:03:30.

find, the priceless statue found on the building site of a new hotel

:03:31.:03:33.

that reveals more about London's Roman past.

:03:34.:03:41.

The Thames Link upgrade could end up being a shambolic 30 year long

:03:42.:03:48.

project, according to a group of MPs. The multi`billion pound scheme

:03:49.:03:52.

to improve journeys through the capital may not be finished until at

:03:53.:03:59.

least 2020. The Public Accounts Committee blames government

:04:00.:04:01.

mismanagement. Our correspondent is at Westminster. This is a really

:04:02.:04:07.

damaging assessment. Is there more? Yes. The Public Accounts Committee,

:04:08.:04:12.

which is chaired by Bach and `` bark and Dagenham MP, Margaret Hodge,

:04:13.:04:14.

which is chaired by Bach and `` bark and Dagenham MP, Margaret Hodge has

:04:15.:04:18.

been very critical of the project. That links Bedford through Central

:04:19.:04:23.

London down to Brighton, and the idea is to upgrade the route, to

:04:24.:04:29.

mean more frequent trains, longer trains, and upgrading some of the

:04:30.:04:33.

stations. The recent Blackfriars upgrade is one of those. This is

:04:34.:04:38.

supposed to be completed by the end of 2018, but this group of MPs has

:04:39.:04:42.

said that by the time it is finished, the work will of taken 30

:04:43.:04:50.

years, and it also says that there are not enough people working on

:04:51.:04:54.

this project. It is critical of a three`year delay of awarding the

:04:55.:05:00.

company `` awarding the contract to a company that needs to make these

:05:01.:05:07.

trains. That contract has gone to a company in Germany. Many people are

:05:08.:05:09.

critical that that contract didn't go to a British company. I think,

:05:10.:05:13.

number one, it has demonstrated what we have been saying. A complete and

:05:14.:05:16.

absolute mess, confusing, must have caused millions of pounds to be

:05:17.:05:20.

wasted, and something that I think they really need to take stock of is

:05:21.:05:24.

the waste of time. Loads of jobs could have been saved at Bombardier.

:05:25.:05:27.

British jobs could have been saved, if they had listened to what was

:05:28.:05:31.

being said, not just by us, but by people in the industry as well.

:05:32.:05:40.

Not mincing his words there. What has the government had to say?

:05:41.:05:45.

Department for Transport remains optimistic it can deliver. It says

:05:46.:05:51.

in financial markets did lead to a delay in concluding the rolling

:05:52.:05:55.

stock contract, but they remain confident that trains will be

:05:56.:05:58.

delivered at the right time. It says a major recruitment programme is

:05:59.:06:01.

under way to ensure they have the right people in the right roles.

:06:02.:06:04.

under way to ensure they have the right people in the right roles The

:06:05.:06:04.

right people in the right roles. The Department for Transport is saying

:06:05.:06:08.

they can get those additional trains by the deadline of 2018. Thank you.

:06:09.:06:16.

It has been one of the hardest fought battles over changes to

:06:17.:06:20.

London's hospitals, but the Court of Appeal ruled today that A and

:06:21.:06:25.

maternity services in Lewisham would stay, even though the government

:06:26.:06:29.

wanted to downgrade them as part of a rescue plan for a neighbouring

:06:30.:06:32.

health trust. This is the first time the

:06:33.:06:35.

Government's new process for dealing with failing NHS organisations has

:06:36.:06:39.

been put to the test in court. Local campaigners say they're thrilled.

:06:40.:06:41.

The Health Secretary says he'll look into changing the law to give the

:06:42.:06:45.

government a freer hand to change health services. Our political

:06:46.:06:47.

correspondent, Karl Mercer, is in Lewisham tonight. It was a year ago

:06:48.:06:58.

today exactly that these people found out that the local A here

:06:59.:07:03.

rat Lewisham may be in danger of the downgrade. Since then, they have

:07:04.:07:08.

done a lot of this, chanting, marching, and handing petitions to

:07:09.:07:12.

Downing Street. They have been to court twice to try and save their

:07:13.:07:19.

local A Today, they found out they had won. A conventional

:07:20.:07:23.

celebration at the end of what has been a relentless campaign. A year

:07:24.:07:33.

ago today, the people of Lewisham learned that there are A and

:07:34.:07:35.

maternity units were being downgraded. This has been over a

:07:36.:07:43.

year of struggle and fight, and galvanising local support. And my

:07:44.:07:47.

goodness me, can Lewisham really gather together and bring other

:07:48.:07:52.

people into our story! We are thrilled, and really relieved that

:07:53.:07:57.

justice has been done. Twice now. And we have proved our point twice

:07:58.:08:02.

against government that they were acting unlawfully. I want to thank,

:08:03.:08:07.

from the bottom of my heart, the totally magnificent Lewisham

:08:08.:08:12.

community. Tonight, a celebration party at the hospital itself, a

:08:13.:08:18.

chance. To join in. Just seeing the community out there, coming

:08:19.:08:22.

together, it is very, very humbling. I am so proud to be invited to be

:08:23.:08:25.

part of this community. I'm emotional. Lewisham hospitals to

:08:26.:08:33.

keep their A and maternity services for years to come. There

:08:34.:08:36.

has been a huge outpouring of support from local people and GPs,

:08:37.:08:41.

and this could not have happened without their support. In last July,

:08:42.:08:45.

a special administrator was sent in to sort out the problems at the

:08:46.:08:51.

South London health care trust, which ran three hospitals, the Queen

:08:52.:08:54.

Elizabeth in Woolwich, Queen Mary 's incident cup, and the Princess Royal

:08:55.:08:59.

in Bromley. It had annual debts of more than ?60 million and was losing

:09:00.:09:04.

money every week. The administrator thought the trust should be broken

:09:05.:09:09.

up. Most controversially, he said the Queen Elizabeth should merge

:09:10.:09:13.

with Lewisham, a decision that would lead to the downgrading of A and

:09:14.:09:23.

maternity services in Lewisham. Demonstrators got that decision

:09:24.:09:28.

overturned. Today, the Court of Appeal agreed. The Health Secretary,

:09:29.:09:32.

Jeremy Hunt, said today that he could understand why the people of

:09:33.:09:35.

Lewisham didn't want changes to their services, but that it was his

:09:36.:09:39.

job to try to protect services across London. He said he was

:09:40.:09:44.

looking at ways to change the law to ensure that at times of great

:09:45.:09:48.

challenge, the NHS could change and innovate. Lewisham has shown that

:09:49.:09:53.

changing the NHS is there a difficult and very lengthy. It is

:09:54.:09:57.

incredible the difficult to make changes in London, and throughout

:09:58.:10:02.

the NHS. We do know that the NHS is facing a serious crunch in the next

:10:03.:10:06.

few years. It has a system of hospitals that was designed for the

:10:07.:10:13.

last century, not this one. Tonight, those sort of thoughts will not be

:10:14.:10:14.

entertained. Their fight is won The entertained. Their fight is won. The

:10:15.:10:20.

challenge now is to make the two A work together. That is a real

:10:21.:10:28.

talent for local hospital administrators and GPs. Winning the

:10:29.:10:32.

court case is really any part of the battle. We have been reporting on

:10:33.:10:37.

other local campaigns about hospitals across the capital, and

:10:38.:10:42.

planned changes for them. Will today's court decision affect those

:10:43.:10:47.

campaigns? I den think so. It was very difficult `` it was very

:10:48.:10:51.

specific about the role of the administrator who was sent in to

:10:52.:10:55.

sort out the problems in south`east London. But there are some big

:10:56.:10:59.

things to come. Tomorrow, perhaps, the Health Secretary will rule on

:11:00.:11:05.

the potential closure of other A departments. Thank you.

:11:06.:11:15.

In other news, Two men have been arrested over a fatal hit and run in

:11:16.:11:19.

west London. A 60`year`old woman was killed as she crossed the road with

:11:20.:11:22.

her granddaughter. It happened in Brentford, on Boston Manor Road,

:11:23.:11:24.

Brentford, on Boston Manor Road yesterday afternoon. Police say the

:11:25.:11:27.

car, a damaged red hatch back, drove off without stopping. The woman's

inspection following the storm revealed a degradation in the

Hammersmith fly`over. More than 24 hours after the worst

:12:14.:12:18.

of St Jude 's storm passed over London and the south`east, its

:12:19.:12:22.

effects are still being felt. A major clean`up operation continues,

:12:23.:12:28.

and there remain problems on some rail routes. More stories are

:12:29.:12:31.

emerging of lucky escapes today Still in shock.

woodland areas. In Hounslow, the two people killed by suspected damage to

:13:33.:13:39.

a gas pipe has been named tonight. As well as the big clean`up,

:13:40.:13:43.

commuters are today demanding to know why so many were left without

:13:44.:13:47.

proper information yesterday about which trains would be running and

:13:48.:13:52.

when. There was a lot of contradictory information on the

:13:53.:13:56.

national rail website, the TEFL website or the train operators'

:13:57.:14:01.

website. If there was a single source of the truth, as we have been

:14:02.:14:07.

advocating for many years. In a statement, TEFL said that train

:14:08.:14:15.

companies know how important it is for travellers to have up`to`date

:14:16.:14:19.

information. They said they had spent a lot of time and money

:14:20.:14:24.

investing in information available to customers. For Sue, another shock

:14:25.:14:32.

this evening. She has been told her whole house is structurally unsafe.

:14:33.:14:35.

It could be months before the family is allowed back in.

centre. there is a reunion in North London

:14:56.:15:13.

this evening as Arsenal host Chelsea in the league cup. It means to

:15:14.:15:16.

heavyweight managers also link horns. We are talking about Arsene

:15:17.:15:22.

Wenger taking his Arsenal team to go up against Jose Mourinho, and it is

:15:23.:15:31.

the first time they have locked horns on offer will pitch since

:15:32.:15:39.

2007. That was during Jose Mourinho's first stint as the blues

:15:40.:15:44.

manager. There was no love lost between these two men with the

:15:45.:15:47.

rivalry sometimes turning uncomfortable. Arsene Wenger accused

:15:48.:15:56.

Jose Mourinho of being a voyeur. Jose Mourinho of being a voyeur

:15:57.:16:00.

Since then relations have improved. With Arsenal at the Premier League

table, Chelsea just behind, both are very keen for results. Do expect

:16:07.:16:12.

both managers to rotate their squad, because Chelsea only played on

Sunday. You can get full commentary on BBC London of Burnley against

:16:19.:16:24.

West Ham and also Leicester against Fulham is on BBC London digital

:16:25.:16:27.

radio. Tell us about the announcement from London Irish?

:16:28.:16:35.

They confirmed the signing of James O'Connor joining the club. He is

:16:36.:16:41.

known as a bad boy of Australian rugby after a string of disciplinary

:16:42.:16:46.

issues. He has admitted to making mistakes but wants to settle into

:16:47.:16:51.

life in England. It is an enormous opportunity for me to be involved

:16:52.:16:59.

with London Irish. They are a family `based club. It is the next step in

:17:00.:17:08.

my life I need right now. He has only signed a short contract but is

:17:09.:17:11.

expected to play against Northampton this weekend.

:17:12.:17:15.

It's the latest piece of Roman history to be unearthed at a London

:17:16.:17:18.

building site, but this time archaeologists are describing the

:17:19.:17:21.

ancient sculpture as an exceptional find. In fact, the statue, which

:17:22.:17:25.

shows an eagle clasping a serpent in its beak, has been hailed by experts

:17:26.:17:29.

as one of the finest artefacts ever unearthed in Britain. It was found

:17:30.:17:32.

on the building site of a boutique hotel near Aldgate tube station.

:17:33.:17:37.

Katharine Carpenter has more. A wing, eight week and a claw.

:17:38.:17:45.

Exquisitely carved and beautifully preserved, this is an eagle.

:17:46.:17:50.

Grasping a writhing serpent in its beak, it was unearthed in a Roman

:17:51.:17:55.

ditch last month on the very last day of the dig near the tower of

:17:56.:18:01.

London. As they continue to clean the peace and define the shoulders

:18:02.:18:06.

of the Eagle and the feathers, they have started to realise the

:18:07.:18:09.

significance of what they found. have started to realise the

:18:10.:18:11.

significance of what they found But significance of what they found But

:18:12.:18:15.

they kept it quiet at first. The sculpture was in such good

:18:16.:18:18.

condition, the team was nervous it might not be as old as they thought.

:18:19.:18:22.

Specialists confirmed it is from the first and second century A.D.,

:18:23.:18:29.

around 1900 years old. It is one of the finest pieces I have had the

:18:30.:18:35.

chance to work on. It is incredibly important. It comes from Rome and

:18:36.:18:41.

London and an area where there would have been a lot of sculpture and

:18:42.:18:47.

associated with mausoleum and tombs. Unfortunately, very little of

:18:48.:18:51.

it survives, soap to get this insight into that world is

:18:52.:18:57.

incredible. Archaeologists say sometimes a large`scale developments

:18:58.:19:00.

can be good for our understanding of London. It is often a condition of

:19:01.:19:04.

planning permission that archaeologists have to be called in.

:19:05.:19:08.

If it wasn't for the plan to build a large hotel near the Tower of

:19:09.:19:11.

London, it might not have been discovered. It is similar across

:19:12.:19:17.

London. This day Bloomberg place uncovered 10,000 fines. It does

:19:18.:19:24.

create this opportunity for us to develop our search, enhance what we

:19:25.:19:27.

know about London as a city. But this is incredibly rare. The closest

:19:28.:19:33.

comparisons come from Jordan and from tomorrow the public will be

:19:34.:19:37.

able to enjoy it when it goes on display at the Museum of London.

:19:38.:19:49.

It's a musical brought to you by the people behind Chicago, Cabaret and

:19:50.:19:51.

The Producers. No wonder then that the Scottsboro Boys received an

:19:52.:19:54.

impressive 12 Tony Award nominations on Broadway. Now the wait is over

:19:55.:19:58.

for Londoners ` the hit musical premiere's tonight at the Young Vic

:19:59.:20:02.

Theatre. It is based on a true story which had a powerful effect on

:20:03.:20:05.

American history and its legal system. Our Arts Correspondent,

:20:06.:20:12.

Brenda Emmanus has more. It may appear to be another up beat

:20:13.:20:19.

musical, but the Scottsboro Boys has been called provocative and

:20:20.:20:22.

exhilarating in its telling of the true story of a miscarriage of

:20:23.:20:26.

justice in 1930s America. It receives its UK premiere here at the

:20:27.:20:35.

Young Vic. It starts off very happy clappy. But then you realise these

:20:36.:20:41.

guys are accused of rape by two white women. You know it isn't true.

:20:42.:20:47.

It is weird, because it is a musical and you are having a good time and

:20:48.:20:55.

then you are in this deeper water. You do feel kind of exhilarated.

:20:56.:21:11.

What you see is courage. Directed by the director behind The Producers,

:21:12.:21:17.

it is made up of London talent and original actors from the Broadway

:21:18.:21:22.

hit. How have they managed to tell this story in musical form? It is

:21:23.:21:31.

very smart. Just to sit through the story of the Scottsboro Boys and the

:21:32.:21:36.

horrors that happened to them. We have read transcripts of court

:21:37.:21:43.

documents. It was so horrific. They found a way to tell the story. It is

:21:44.:21:56.

very sly and smarter. `` smarter. It is very satirical and clever? It

:21:57.:22:02.

draws you in. When it draws you in, you hear what has been said and you

:22:03.:22:08.

are intellectually provoked, emotionally provoked on so many

:22:09.:22:12.

different levels. The trials and appeals of these young men led to

:22:13.:22:17.

the passing of two pivotal Crown Court rulings. And now the

:22:18.:22:27.

Scottsboro Boys act was passed exonerating them 82 years after the

:22:28.:22:36.

event. The Queen and The Duchess of

:22:37.:22:39.

Cornwall made a rare joint engagement when they visited a

:22:40.:22:42.
