Good evening. Welcome to BBC London News. | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
Three men have been found gtilty of the murder of Sabrina Moss, a | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
nursery teacher shot dead while out celebrating her birthday last year. | :00:28. | :00:31. | |

war. Her friends suffered life`threatening injuries. | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
A happy young woman. Sabrin` Moss, celebrating her 24th birthd`y. Soon, | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
she would lose her life. According to police, caught in the crossfire | :00:50. | :00:56. | |
of a gang over drugs. Today, Scotland Yard this footage. It shows | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
two men who armed themselves with a machine gun and a shotgun. But they | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
killed a completely innocent by`stander. We can see them running | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
up to the road and then thex open fire. | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
Sabrina is gone and her son has been left without a mother. Sabrhna was a | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
completely innocent victim of a totally senseless and callots crime. | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
She was out celebrating. Whdn it started to rain she joined ` group | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
of people sheltering under ` shop. Standing nearby were members of the | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
South Kilburn gang, who werd being hunted by some rivals. Huss`n | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
Hussein opened fire. Yassin James used a shotgun. Sabrina Moss died | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
later in hospital and her friend was lucky to survive. After being hit by | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
more than 50 shotgun pellets. There was no warning as to what w`s | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
happening. I thought it was fireworks. I did think it w`s | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
fireworks. Sabrina was stood in front of me. That was when H heard | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
her say that she'd been shot in her heart. In Kilburn High Road they | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
have not forgotten A neighbouring shopkeeper believes this is a bullet | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
hole left by the attack. Today, at the Old Bailey, three men wdre | :02:29. | :02:36. | |
convicted of murder and the attempted murder of rival g`ng | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
members. This was a callous act committed by individuals who are | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
willing to fire a MAC`10 machine pistol, double barrel shotgtn at a | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
group of people out celebrating They had no regard as to who was | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
present and who would be catght up. They wanted to injure, maim or kill | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
as many as possible. The police are pleased with these verdicts. All the | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
defendants guilty of all ch`rges and they will be sentenced here at the | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
Old Bailey next month. London should be split into five | :03:08. | :03:18. | |
megaboroughs to speed up pl`nning decisions and enable development. | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
That is according to a new report put together by a City law firm | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
Critics claim giant boroughs are costly to run and are insensitive to | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
local opinion. The constituencies ` millions of | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
ballot papers are being counted .. As the political state of the nation | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
comes up for decision. This was the last time that the set`up of | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
London's boroughs changed, back when Harold Wilson was winning the 1 64 | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
election. The map of London Government was being drawn hnto | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
something like we see today, without the mayor, of course. Since those | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
black and white days, many have documented the changes in otr city. | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
Many have called for them. @ smaller number of boroughs with far greater | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
expertise and resources will have greater fire power and abilhty to | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
make schemes happen. To bring forward compulsory purchase orders, | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
to forge partnerships, to bring forward housing developments. Before | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
1965, there were 91 separatd authorities running London. They | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
were joined up to form the current 32 boroughs and the City of London | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
Corporation. That is more than Paris, which has 20. They all have | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
their own mayor and Town Hall as well as a city`wide authority and | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
mayor. New York has five boroughs, but a mayor with more powers than | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
the one in London. This was a pep project of Ken Livingstone hn the | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
old days. It was rejected bdcause it will make the huge boroughs too | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
remote from the people they serve on a day`to`day issue. London has seen | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
councils joining up some services already. These three West London | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
boroughs, saving through sh`ring things like their libraries. Even | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
that agreement is under revhew, after Labour won one of the councils | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
at the recent elections. Thdre is scepticism in Hammersmith over the | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
report from the City law firm. I would like to see mechanisms | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
focussing on making councils more efficient, focussing on affordable | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
housing. This seems to be a wrong mechanism, at the wrong timd, be I | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
the wrong people. Any changd would need a change in the law and it is a | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
change that's not on the cards just yet. Crystal Palace have bedn fined | :05:37. | :05:48. | |
by the Premier League for allegedly providing a team's line`up before | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
the game. This was known as "spy gate. Cardiff | :05:56. | :06:05. | |
played palace. They said a lember of their staff had used contacts back | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
at Cardiff to get a sneak pdak ot their team sheet 24 hours bdfore the | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
game. It did not change the outcome of the season. The Premier League | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
investigated. Tonight, we ldarn they will fine palace. We don't know how | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
much. The maximum would be ?25, 00. Neither club has commented tonight. | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
That is a small amount, really. We are in unchartered waters at the | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
idea of a club spying against another as far as I know th`t sun | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
heard of. Palace lost their manager and first game. Right, that is it | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
for now from me. Let's find out what the weather has in store with Wendy. | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
It sets the tone for the wedk. Fine weather, but cool. That is what is | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
happening out there at the loment. Most of the showers we've h`d this | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
evening are clearing away now. There will be clear, dry conditions | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
behind. It will be nippy. Ott in the countryside, we will be in single | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
figures easily. It will be a slightly crisp start to | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
the day tomorrow for August, at least. We'll have some sunshine | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
through the morning. Spells into the afternoon as well. One or two | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
showers dotted around on thd breeze through the afternoon. Tempdratures, | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
well, look at those. 17`18 Celsius at best for some of us. That is | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
below where it should be for this time of year. Similar for Wddnesday | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
and Thursday as well. A bit of rain around on Friday. And with lore on | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
around on Friday. And with more on all of that, of course, here is | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
Alex. Good evening. There's no sign of | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
things warming up any time soon It will stay | :07:44. | :07:44. |
