forget Newsnight's starting over on BBC 2 in a moment, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
with a special programme on Syria, but now on BBC1, it's time | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
for the news where you are. Good evening and welcome, I'm Alice | :00:07. | :00:16. | |
Bhandhukravi. down on the increasing numbdr | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
of rough sleepers and beggars Responding to complaints | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
from local residents, officdrs were joined by Home Office offichals and | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
Romanian authorities this morning. Emilia Papadopoulos went | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
along with them. It's 4am in this underpass near Park | :00:38. | :00:49. | |
Lane and these rough sleepers, mostly Roma gypsies, are about to be | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
woken up. Understand ably they aren't too pleased, but for many, | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
this is nothing new. It's h`ppened last year, the year before `nd the | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
year before that. TRANSLATION: I'll have nothhng in | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
Romania. Why should I go back there. At least we have pounds and food. | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
This operation is the latest effort by the Metropolitan Police. , the | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
Romanian authorities and thd Home Office to tackle homelessness, | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
begging and other antisocial behaviour in the capital Each | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
morning four or five officers are here collecting intelligencd, | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
speaking to these people, to check on their welfare, to see if they're | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
offending and collect the intelligence which supports the | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
bigger days of action which you re seeing here Many local todax. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
Residents welcome the action and say it's time to stop this recurring | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
prob Lenle `` problem. It drags down an area that should be a showpiece | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
for London. It affects all those who have businesses there, who work | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
there, who live there and even the visitors to the area. This lorning, | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
the Met identified around 80 rough sleepers around Marble Arch and Park | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
Lane, they were mostly Roma gypsies from Romania. They've been brought | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
to this administration point, where they'll be assessed by police and | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
passed on to immigration officials who will check to see if thdy have a | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
criminal record and determine how long they've been in the cotntry. If | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
any of them have been here for over three months and can't provd that | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
they're employed or activelx looking for a job, they could be sent back | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
home. Further more, new regulations | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
introduced in January mean they could be banned from re`entdring the | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
UK for 12 months, unless thdy provide a valid reason for being | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
here. For some, it's not enough The City of Westminster Council told us: | :02:33. | :02:41. | |
Everyone here this morning was offered a free trip back to Romania. | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
Liliana is the only one who volunteered to take it. | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
TRANSLATION: I came to find my daughter. I sold everything from my | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
house to get here to find hdr. She's also diabetic and sleeping on the | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
streets is taking its toll. TRANSLATION: It's been extrdmely | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
hard. I thought I might die sleeping on the pavements. As for thd other | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
migrants, they also moved on, but just 200 metres down the ro`d. It's | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
not hard to see why they're so reluctant to leave. No runnhng water | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
and no electricity. This footage filmed by BBC London in Rom`nia last | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
year shows the kind of condhtions many would have to return to. These | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
raids are clearly not a long`term solution. We are trying to break | :03:27. | :03:35. | |
centuries of distrust, systdmatic persecution and scrim nation and so, | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
this is going to take time. It needs help for the Roma community to come | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
together to voice their needs. Sleeping in doorways and packing up | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
their lives every few days hs a small price to pay for living in the | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
capital. For most, it beats the bleak prospect of returning back | :03:52. | :03:52. | |
home. A 20`year`old man's been arrested | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
after a 16`year`old boy was killed Fazan Ahmed died after the collision | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
in Jupiter Drive last Fridax. Police say they're still qudstioning | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
the suspect from Berkhampstdad. Heathrow's chief executive has | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
written an open letter to Boris Johnson urging him | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
to back expansion at the airport should his plan for a so`called | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
"Boris Island" not go ahead. John Holland`Kaye said expansion | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
at Heathrow would be "the only option left in thd race" | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
if the estuary plan is scrapped Our Political Correspondent, | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
Karl Mercer, reports. Heathrow this afternoon, thd | :04:32. | :04:42. | |
country's biggest airport, the country's busiest airport and quite | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
possibly, today at least, the country's cheekiest airport. It s no | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
secret they want a third runway and no secret that the mayor wants a new | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
airport in the Thames Estuary. If he got it, he said Heathrow cotld shut, | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
replaced by a new neighbourhood for London. Next week, this man Sir | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
Howard Davis, is expected to rule on whether the mayor's plan should go | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
forward to a final short list for airport expansion. Today, a dear | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
Boris letter from Heathrow's boss: "If your proposal for a new airport | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
is not short listed by the `irport's commission, then Heathrow whll be | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
the only option left in the race." It was a letter helpfully m`de | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
public. We are reminding Boris today of the many things he's said over | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
the last year or two about what the right answer is for UK | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
competitiveness. That is a hub airport. I suppose we're just | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
joining the dots up today and saying look, if Thames Estuary doesn't get | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
short listed, you believe a hub is the right answer and therefore, | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
logically, we would hope th`t you would back Heathrow. So you're just | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
being helpful? Absolutely. Some helpful advice from Heathrow for the | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
mayor today. No interview from City Hall, but they told us that they | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
thought the estuary airport remained the most credible option. In the | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
past, Boris Johnson has gond on record as saying if he doesn't get | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
his estuary airport, he'd lhke to see expansion at Gatwick and not | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
here at Heathrow, which may explain Gatwick's own response todax, no | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
reminding the mayor or offering helpful advice just this in their | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
own statement: "If the option is taken off the table, we will write | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
privately to the mayor, givhng him the respect he deserves." The public | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
relations game is very much afoot. The decision itself is expected | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
early next week. Well it's good night from md. I | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
leave you now with the forecast Good weather actually. It's warmer | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
as the weekend wears on. Dalp weather before that. Tonight we see | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
rain pushing in from the west. The second part of the night looks like | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
being the wettest part of the night. Nowhere will be cold. Temperatures | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
in double figures for most. Into Saturday, mainly dry for most of us | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
with good spells of sunshind. A damp start with outbreaks of rain, soon | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
clearing through the morning and then it turns brighter. Spldnty of | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
sunshine around, maybe just a passing shower across the northern | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
of the region. Most places dry. Top temperature of 21 degrees. Hnto | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
Sunday we see this area of high pressure to the south continuing to | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
exert its force across the TK as it moves up from the south. It looks | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
like staying fine across much of our region for Sunday, maybe a bit | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
warmer, 22, possibly 23 degrees Now as we head into the start of the | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
next week, it's cloudy and damp to begin with. Then it turns stnnier | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
and warmer through the week. and warmer through the week. | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
Good evening. The sun sets on August this weekend, I'm sure some of you | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
will be pleased. After a promising start to the summer, August is the | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
month where it took a turn for the cooler. It's the first month since | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
last November where we will have seen below-average temperatures Bit | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
time the numbers are crunched, potentially this could be the | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
coolest August in over 20 years What went wrong? It was hurricane | :07:58. | :08:06. | |
bertha which broke the patterns Another ex-hurricane this cloud | :08:07. | :08:08. |
