they have lived three of the last six years in London. It is ` radical | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
new attempt to increase the number of black and Asian officers to help | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
the Met better reflect the people it serves. Critics say it is unfair on | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
would be officers who happen to live outside the capital. | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
On parade this afternoon. Tomorrow they will take their first steps on | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
the capital's streets. They are the latest batch of new recruits, | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
starting what will be, they hope, a long career with the Met. The Mayor | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
of London promised to keep numbers up to 32,000. He has a problem. | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
London has a population of more than London has a population of more than | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
eight million. 40% of which are from a black or minority background. The | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
Met has just 11%. Today, he announced a new recruitment policy, | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
banning anyone from outside London from joining. ??FORCEWHITE REPORTER: | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
Aren't you in danger of being challenged by the courts? We will | :01:21. | :01:22. | |

challenged by the courts? Wd will see about that. We have done a lot | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
of work with my learned fridnds to make sure it is OK. I think it will | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
be fine. It is for a couple of years, basically to encourage | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
Londoners, people from all across the city to think of themselves as | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
potential police officers. Darlier potential police officers. Earlier | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
this year t Met commissioner call ford a temporary change in the law | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
to allow positive discrimin`tion. He wanted one ethnic minority recruit | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
to every white one. So far he's not got his way. This new policx though | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
got his way. This new policy though is halfway to achieving that. | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
We want people from London to want their children to come and join the | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
Met. This is a fantastic organisation. We police one of the | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
greatest cities. You are orhginally greatest cities. You are originally | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
from Yorkshire. Unther thesd rules you would not be ` oi under these | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
rules you would not be able to join. We will still take people from | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
outside London. If you be a firearms officer, a detective or a chief | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
officer, then we are still prepared to take people from elsewhere. The | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
Met has a huge challenge. Shnce to take people from elsewhere. The | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
Met has a huge challenge. Since it was branded institutionally racist | :02:26. | :02:26. | |
15 years ago it has struggled was branded institutionally racist | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
15 years ago it has struggled to look like the people it serves. With | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
London becoming ever more diverse, the problem may only get worse. | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
So, the new policy, which starts next month, means only thosd | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
So, the new policy, which starts next month, means only those living | :02:40. | :02:39. | |
next month, means only thosd living in the capital for at least three of | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
the last six years will be `ble in the capital for at least three of | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
the last six years will be able to apply. I think it has the potential | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
to increase diversity, not just by way of colour, but by way of | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
thinking. That has to be good for the police and for our commtnities. | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
the police and for our communities. I think it is a good initiative from | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
the Met. It is something I have been personally campaigning for a number | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
of years to have the police, the Met Police force reflect the colmunity | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
it serves and since you will find that black and Asian makes tp | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
one`third of Londoners of the eight million we have here, I belheve it | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
million we have here, I believe it is about time that the police force | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
was reflection of that community it was reflection of that commtnity it | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
serves. Others are not so convinced. It is a bit of a snub to the | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
officers who work in the Met at the moment. It is a better way to go | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
than enforce false restricthons It than enforce false restricthons It | :03:38. | :03:39. | |

concerns that businesses around the so`called Silicon Roundabout in | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
London are suffering from all things a poor Internet connection. | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
The conFederation of Small Businesses claims one`third of | :04:24. | :04:27. | |

We have allocated ?25 million to London. We have issued hundreds of | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
vouchers to businesses in London. I would urge businesses to get in | :05:53. | :05:54. | |

Wendy for a look we expect more of the same? | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
Yes, we can. It will get more hot and humid. It is a close night out | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
there at the moment. Temper`tures are only slowly edging back. We have | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
a fine covering of cloud ovdr us. Around about midnight it will bring | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
some patchy rain. I don't think it will do too much to water the | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
gardens. Temperatures, 16`17 Celsius. Uncomfortable for sleeping. | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
If you are up early tomorrow you may see some drizzle. The breezd | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
If you are up early tomorrow you may see some drizzle. The breeze will | :07:05. | :07:04. | |
see some drizzle. The breezd will have eased off. We will start off | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
with a fair amount of cloud. During the afternoon there is the chance of | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
a shower. Mostly it is drying out. Sunshine will break through. | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
Temperatures in the town ard likely to get to 26 Celsius, with many | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
other places at least 22`23 Celsius. On the outlook then, it continues to | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
get hot and humid. As we go through the week we could hit 30 Celsius by | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
Thursday. Of course, there is the week we could hit 30 Celsius by | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
Thursday. Of course, there is more chance of seeing thundery downpours | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
as a result. Good evening. The forecast will | :07:36. | :07:47. | |
divide the nation in two camps, one where you are looking forward to | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
what is coming and the other where you may not be too keen. For those | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
on their summer break, good sunny spells. Heat and increasing humidity | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
starting to build, which later in the week will lead to some nasty | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
thunderstorms. So such thunderstorms out there at the moment. Breezy out | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
there. Sporadic showers. If your gardens need a watering, I can not | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
promise everywhere will see the showers. We could start with some | :08:17. | :08:25. | |
showers over East Anglia. Of note are the temperatures - a very muggy | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
night over southern areas of the UK. Plenty of cloud to begin with in the | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
south. Sunnier spells further north. Fresher, particularly in the | :08:39. | :08:39. |
