I'll be back with the late news at Ten. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Now though on BBC1, it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:21. | |

Fully, who has opted for the raw life, it is an unwelcome | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
development. There will be a large number of houses on the field we are | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
looking at across there. The farmhouse in the background, all the | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
way around the houses, to behind my house. Where we live is the a ten | :01:18. | :01:25. | |
corridor to Cambridge. If this land is developed outside the local | :01:26. | :01:28. | |

Rural councils like this have a challenge on their hands. Much of | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
their land is offered in the green belt. Broxbourne has to provide 4000 | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
new homes in the next 15 years. It admits nobody wants to build here | :01:57. | :02:01. | |

Boston would benefit two, it says. -- Hoddesdon. We have had some shops | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
are a couple of months ago, and cafes, especially the independence, | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
seem to stay open. It would be good if it brings people to the town | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
into the shops and pubs. It could be good. But even with the desire for | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
more punters, many are still uncomfortable with housing them on | :02:28. | :02:31. | |

to decide if they should be allowed. A grandfather who was stabbed to | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
death in Notting Hill this weekend has been named by police | :02:36. | :02:38. | |

at Gunnersbury Park in Ealing. The London Mela, has attracted tens | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
of thousands of people - and it's become a firm annual fixture | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
in the capital's cultural calendar. In the classical language of | :03:26. | :03:42. | |
Sanskrit, Mela means gathering. This annual gathering of the London Mela | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
is a colourful celebration of South Asian arts and culture. It's now | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
attracts talent from all over the world. You have got people coming in | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
from the Punjab, in India. You have got people flying in from Canada. We | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
have got lots of international artists. We have got everything from | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
Tamil classical music and dance one of the top sitar players in the | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
country, coming down. And for the capital's South Asian community it | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
is a family favourite. But the flavours of this festival was appear | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
to have spread beyond West London. We come every year and we have a lot | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
of fun and good food. The entertainment is amazing. The stage | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
is good and the artist that come along, you see all the different | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
stores, the different types of food. Different types of people. That is | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
what I call multicultural Britain. It has got a good vibe with lots of | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
families, young guys, nice music, everything smells good. It is all | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
bunched together, which is nice. This is what is wonderful about | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
being so multicultural. Let's go on in this direction rather than on | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
anything negative. Last year, over 80,000 people came here. Organisers | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
say this year there could be even more. | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
