Good evening and welcome. An undercover investigation by BBC

:00:18.:00:24.

London has exposed a black larket of shops and traders who are whlling to

:00:25.:00:28.

buy and sell stolen smartphones Our researchers, posing as thieves,

:00:29.:00:31.

offered phones to traders in Ilford telling them that they'd bedn

:00:32.:00:34.

stolen. More than 30,000 sm`rtphones were stolen in the capital hn the

:00:35.:00:40.

last year. Gareth Furby has this exclusive report. Take a look at the

:00:41.:00:43.

Watch the shop assistant's hands. He woman carrying a shoulder b`g.

:00:44.:01:46.

Watch the shop assistant's hands. He knows it is stolen. Is it worth

:01:47.:01:55.

anything? ?20. The money is handed over. We had been tipped off that

:01:56.:02:03.

this was happening in Ilford, East London. Our telephones were not

:02:04.:02:07.

stolen but they had a message on the screen implying they had bedn. So

:02:08.:02:15.

how did a second shop reacts to this? But, at first, they only want

:02:16.:02:28.

to hand over the money outshde. Catch you later, yeah? And later,

:02:29.:02:31.

our researcher was offered some advice on how to avoid being caught.

:02:32.:02:40.

You've got people here who have become so confident and so casual in

:02:41.:02:43.

dealing with what they belidve to be stolen property.

:02:44.:03:00.

People have become so confident and so casual in dealing with what they

:03:01.:03:05.

believe to be stolen property. By providing a conduit for property

:03:06.:03:07.

that has been stolen, they `re encouraging the commission of those

:03:08.:03:11.

offences. Tonight, Scotland Yard said it has been specifically

:03:12.:03:14.

targeting mobile phone crimd for the past 12 months. And achieved

:03:15.:03:21.

remarkable success. We've rdduced crime by 13% which equates to about

:03:22.:03:24.

10,000 less victims over thd last 12 months. BBC London News has made

:03:25.:03:29.

repeated attempts to contact the shop staff we've secretly fhlmed but

:03:30.:03:31.

we've had no response. A man who killed the mother of his

:03:32.:03:53.

four children by setting her alight after learning that she was leaving

:03:54.:03:56.

him has been jailed for lifd. 24`year`old Julie Beattie w`s

:03:57.:03:59.

attacked with a hammer before being doused in fuel in Walworth hn South

:04:00.:04:02.

East London last July. Ashldy Williams was found guilty of her

:04:03.:04:05.

murder at the Old Bailey and told he must serve a minimum of 25 xears.

:04:06.:04:12.

The trial has begun of the radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza who was

:04:13.:04:15.

extradited from the UK to the US in 2012. The Egyptian`born pre`cher

:04:16.:04:18.

spent years living in London before his arrest in 2004. He's on trial in

:04:19.:04:21.

New York charged with terrorism offences, including trying to set up

:04:22.:04:24.

an Al`Qaeda training camp in America, charges which he ddnies.

:04:25.:04:35.

A man has died and another has been injured after part of a building

:04:36.:04:38.

collapsed near Oxford Street. The accident happened around fotr

:04:39.:04:40.

o'clock this afternoon. Nick Beake is at the scene. We are on the

:04:41.:04:47.

corner of Grosvenor Square, just a few metres from the US embassy. This

:04:48.:04:52.

building behind me was itself a former US Navy headquarters and it

:04:53.:04:56.

was here this afternoon that the man died. This particular project was

:04:57.:05:01.

transforming the site into luxury flats. Earlier in daylight ht was

:05:02.:05:04.

difficult to pick out where exactly the partial collapse took place

:05:05.:05:09.

Tonight the London Fire Brigade have told us that a digger fell from the

:05:10.:05:14.

second floor to the first. With that, two men also fell. Thd Fire

:05:15.:05:20.

Brigade were also called. The air ambulance as well as paramedics on

:05:21.:05:23.

the ground were called but nothing could be done to save one of the

:05:24.:05:27.

men. He was pronounced dead at the scene. His colleague sufferdd minor

:05:28.:05:31.

injuries and he was taken to hospital. The latest is that he will

:05:32.:05:36.

be released from hospital shortly. I gather we have heard from the

:05:37.:05:41.

contract is this evening. That is right. As you can imagine, work here

:05:42.:05:46.

stopped immediately and soon after a lot of the contract is gathdred on

:05:47.:05:49.

the grass on Grosvenor Square itself. `` contract workmen. It was

:05:50.:05:59.

a very sombre scene and you could see the shock on the faces of a lot

:06:00.:06:04.

of people, frankly. Tonight, they said it was with deeply regret that

:06:05.:06:11.

McGee could confirm the death of one of their workers. Their sympathies

:06:12.:06:16.

are with families and friends at this difficult time. Thank xou. An

:06:17.:06:21.

extra lane has been created for drivers on a section of the M25

:06:22.:06:24.

through Hertfordshire out of what used to be the hard shoulder. The

:06:25.:06:30.

Highways Agency is hoping that opening up the lane between South

:06:31.:06:33.

Mims and Enfield will reducd tailbacks but it means drivdrs will

:06:34.:06:36.

no longer be able to stop there if they break down. That is all from

:06:37.:06:41.

me. I will hand you over to Wendy with the weather now.

:06:42.:06:44.

they break down. That is all from me. I will hand you over to Thank

:06:45.:06:48.

you. Beautiful blue skies all day. And the clear skies continud into

:06:49.:06:53.

tonight as well. By day we have also got low ozone over the UK. That is

:06:54.:06:57.

not unusual at this time of year but it means higher UV than norlal for

:06:58.:07:01.

this time of year in the strong sunshine. There is an explahner on

:07:02.:07:06.

the Met Office website on that if you are interested. Clear skies

:07:07.:07:10.

overnight bin it will be quhte chilly with lighter winds. Gardeners

:07:11.:07:14.

beware, the tender plants whll need to be covered up because it will get

:07:15.:07:20.

close to freezing. Prone spots could get even lower than two and down to

:07:21.:07:25.

freezing. After quite a chilly start tomorrow the temperatures whll pick

:07:26.:07:27.

up quickly because of the stnshine but the easterly breeze means it

:07:28.:07:32.

will be fresher than today. 12 degrees along the

London. More sunshine for Wednesday and clouding over towards the end of

:07:39.:07:42.

the week. Your regional forecast will have offered you another fine

:07:43.:07:45.

day tomorrow. That is the story nationwide. High

:07:46.:07:51.

pressure is plonked on top of us. This evening it has been turning

:07:52.:07:55.

quite chilly quite quickly and it will be cold for the middle of April

:07:56.:08:00.

overnight. In larger towns and cities it will be down to single
