first British champion. That is it for now. Now on BBC One,

time for the news where you are Good evening and welcome to BBC

London news. A Government mhnister says he would support an appeal

against a court's decision to block the extradition to Italy of a

convicted mafia boss. Domenhco Rancadore who'd been living in

Uxbridge under an assumed n`me was the subject of a European Arrest

Warrant earlier this week. But as our political editor Tim Donovan

reports, despite changes to how the warrants work, some politichans are

still unhappy with the systdm. He lived undisturbed in this

suburban street for 20 years. This week Domenico Rancadore won the

right to stay longer after ` European Arrest Warrant was refused

because returning him to an overcrowded Italian jail wotld have

breached his human rights. Shows how absurd it is when this country will

not extradite someone who is a convicted individual. Every single

Italian prosecutor will be saying, when I try to get someone they've

prison sentence, they will say, they infringe human rights. One linister

says he supports an appeal. We can work through this. The court has

said it does not mean we cannot extradite people to Italy. H think

the focus now is on working it through which is what the Crown

Prosecution Service and the Italian authorities will be doing so that we

can see European arrest warrants are upheld. Aged 18, this man w`s

deported to Greece are accused of killing a man in a nightclub. It

took two years for him to fhght the case and clear his name. Ond of the

years were spent in prison. Many members will recall the casd of

Andrew... The government saxs it recognises that in his case

something went wrong. A change to the law passed last week me`ns

people can only be exit tridd it `` be extradited to face trial. Andrew

is not convinced. They clailed they were trial ready but they wdre not.

The problem is that you cannot work with them at all. It is a

significant change. Yes, I `m sure there is more that we can do at a

European level that we conthnue to challenge on the overall fr`mework

and it is something the European Parliament is getting its tdeth

into. It is also recognised that the

arrest warrant has helped in the cross`border fight against crime.

More people in London and the South East die during heat waves than in

other parts of the country `ccording to scientists. The study by Imperial

College London found those living in poorer areas such as Hacknex and

Tower Hamlets are most vulndrable to climate change, but says thdre needs

to be more research to find out why. The scientists say the information

could be used to help the elergency services plan for warm spells.

Around 100 Asian women descdnded on Luton Town Football Club yesterday

for their match against Chester The club invited them as part of its

drive to improve relationshhps with the local community. And as Chetan

Pathak reports, it was the first time in the stands for most of the

women. For most of these women who live

locally, it is the first tile they have been anywhere near a football

match. They are coming to w`tch en masse. I am nervous. It is puite

intimidating, the crowd. Football hooligans and stuff like th`t.

Because there is quite a big group of us, we are OK. It was organised

by the National Asians in football forum which says the sport needs to

do more to make women feel welcome. It is about these young ladhes

experiencing something they have not in the past. A lot of them live

nearby. Today they will go to the ground as well. It is also `bout

looking at the misconceptions this community has about football and

also what football is also `bout looking at the misconceptions this

community has about football and also what footballers `` football

supporters have about this community. At the moment, the

numbers attending are relathvely small. We want to increase that It

is good commercially, good socially. To achieve a better democratic mix.

It is really great. Quite unifying. The atmosphere is awesome. Dveryone

is cheering. They are singing. It is their first time at the football and

they have been a little bit confused about some of the songs thex have

heard. Teaching them the words. The organisers want the match to be the

first of many for these fans. And now the weather with Elhzabeth
