Good evening. This is BBC London News. | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
With the atheist revolutionary | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
into the number of tenants renting property in the capital nearly | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
doubling in the past ten ye`rs, there are calls from MPs to identify | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
rogue landlords. It coincidds with action taken by some tenants to | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
protect themselves. Hannah has a family, has a good job, | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
but says she doesn't have a hope of finding a rental property hdre for a | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
reasonable rent. When you do rent you are at the mercy of the market. | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
It is expensive. It is unregulated. You have little information as a | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
tenant. No`one is there to look after your interests and it feels | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
like you are in the middle of one big racket. That is why she's | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
developed her own website. H have been able to do greater due | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
diligence on that purchase than when I have rented out a house. Ht is a | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
success, with stories of bedrooms black with mould, kitchens hnfesed | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
with rats and some landlords who couldn't care less. This hotse | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
renting out with no roofs, ceilings or windows. The landlord was fined | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
?5,000 and can go on to rent out properties again. Now a | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
parliamentary report says it has to change. The MPs call for: | :01:46. | :01:58. | |
In fact, two million of us `re renting here in the capital. That is | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
nearly double the number colpared to ten years ago. Shelter says that one | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
in 20 complains of revenge dviction when they are thrown out by their | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
landlord for complaining about their home. There is one important caveat. | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
Renting property is a busindss. Those costs will be passed through | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
to the consumer through the price. The public purse will benefht from | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
better regulation. The taxp`yer gets a great deal out of this. If you | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
have you are getting rid of the worst landlords who are causing lots | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
of problems. At the moment, at the end of a private tenancy is the | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
number one cause of homelessness. Who pays, it's the taxpayer. No | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
wonder then he wants all thhs report's recommendations enshrined | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
in law. This review carries no legal weight. It is a manifesto for | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
change. The Government warndd against putting on too much red | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
tape. No`one will welcome costs being driven up further by | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
regulation if it is not enforceable. Thousands of passengers havd been | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
facing delays at Waterloo Station tonight after a man walked on to the | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
tracks. It happened at the start of this evening's rush hour. The man | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
was finally detained under the Mental Health Act. | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
Major delays are expected until the end of service tonight. A college in | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
Holborn, accused by the Govdrnment of allowing foreign stunts to work | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
illegal is demand `` students to work illegal is demanding a full | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
apology. It was claimed over 20 students had abused the vis` system. | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
The college claims the Government got its facts wrong. | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
The London School of Business and Finance was one of 57 colleges to | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
have its right to sponsor overseas students suspended T main concern | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
was some appeared to be working illegally. Overseas students at | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
further education colleges `re not allowed to work at all. | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
Yet one college, the London London School of Business and Finance has | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
219 foreign students who worked and paid tax last year. | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
The college today said immigration officials only raised questhons over | :04:30. | :04:43. | |
213 of their students. A review of records shows 198 did hold ` valid | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
visa to work. 13 had left the college before starting paid work. | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
Two students never attended the college at all. | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
The college called in a consultant to review their records. He has | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
advised an external audit, but says the Government appear to have got | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
this wrong. I have to say that they do appear to be quite wrong in | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
saying that students at a private college cannot have a right to work. | :05:02. | :05:09. | |
And in the case of LSBF, those results show, which doesn't surprise | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
me at all, that they do havd over 200 students who have working | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
rights. The college is all too aware of the potential damage to hts | :05:23. | :05:32. | |
reputation. They are calling on the minister to clarify this as soon as | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
possible and say an apology would be appropriate too. | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
The main issue with these colleges, uncovered by the BBC, was | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
wide`spread cheating on English exams to obtain visas. As m`ny as | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
50,000 tests have been querhed. The Home Office not only refused to back | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
down, but in a Immigration is always a tricky | :05:47. | :06:03. | |
subject. As this college has about 38,000 students worldwide, the | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
potential damage is clear. The amphibious Duck Tour bo`ts | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
suspended after a fire on the Thames last year are to make a rettrn. Over | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
30 people were rescued when one of the boats caught fire in September, | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
with some passengers jumping into the rif tore escape the flales. `` | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
river to escape the flames. That's it from me tonight. Let's gdt the | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
weekend weather forecast. Showers that looked to be heading otr way | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
tended no t Venus Williams lost | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
in three long hard`fought `` not to. | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
A similar combination tomorrow. There is a risk of more of ts seeing | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
the hefty showers. Not so tonight. A clear night. Temperatures in the | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
countryside will fall away sharpishly. Light breezes, ` | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
glorious start to the weekend. There is a warning out for the intensity | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
of these showers, which will brew into the latter part of the morning, | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
into the afternoon. The bull Lord Chancellor be in the north | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
The bulk of the showers will be to the north and the west. | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
Around about 20`21 Celsius. That takes the mild air away. We get to | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
drier and finer conditions `s we move towards Sunday. The top | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
temperature again 20. Fewer showers. Most | :07:33. | :07:33. | |
temperature again 20. Fewer showers. Most out towards the east. | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
That's the way it is looking. Good evening. For some the weather | :07:36. | :07:44. | |
put on a show today - lightning and hail. For others more of a no-show. | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
Showers at Wimbledon stayed away. They were further west. Torrential | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
downpours with the lightning flashes over East Anglia. Local flooding in | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
for folk. Showers through Glastonbury. | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
Thunder storms over Mid Wales currently. Flashes of lightning will | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
ease away during the night. Wet weather over northern England, the | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
north Midlands. Some showers continuing in the north-west. Misty | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
after all the moisture. It will be a mild night here. Further north, a | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
fine night and chilly in Scotland. Temperatures in rural areas well | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
down into single figures. For here and Northern Ireland, by and large | :08:29. | :08:30. |
