Not the legacy London expected at the former Olympic Staditm,

:00:00.:00:00.

as football fans clash in ugly scenes.

:00:07.:00:09.

She has never experienced vholence like this before, or the aggression

:00:10.:00:12.

We have never been hit by coins before.

:00:13.:00:16.

To be hit by seven of them in one evening...

:00:17.:00:18.

We look at whether West Ham's stadium is fit for purpose.

been able to do this, because it's standing

:00:55.:00:56.

Welcome to BBC London News, with me, Riz Lateef.

:00:57.:01:15.

Everyone will remember the jubilant scenes during the London Olxmpics,

:01:16.:01:20.

but a far cry from the 2012 games were ugly clashes between rhval

:01:21.:01:24.

football fans during West H`m's match with Chelsea last night.

:01:25.:01:30.

Seven people were arrested after police and stewards struggled

:01:31.:01:33.

It's not the first time trotble has flared in what's now

:01:34.:01:37.

called the London Stadium, prompting some to question

:01:38.:01:39.

if football being played in the stadium is a fitting legacy

:01:40.:01:42.

Many believe that English football had consigned

:01:43.:01:52.

such scenes to its past, but last night West Ham and Chelsea

:01:53.:01:55.

fans surged towards one another inside the former Olympic Stadium,

:01:56.:01:58.

and were held apart only by desperate stewards and police.

:01:59.:02:01.

Seats were ripped up and thrown as tensions between supportdrs

:02:02.:02:04.

boiled over in the closing minutes of the game.

:02:05.:02:10.

1,000 stewards and a heavy police presence ensured minimal trouble

:02:11.:02:12.

outside the stadium before and after the match.

:02:13.:02:17.

But the ugly scenes left many fans, including children,

:02:18.:02:20.

We were watching the game, in the front row,

:02:21.:02:25.

Suddenly there were coins coming over and my daughter Victorha

:02:26.:02:30.

got hit by seven coins all over her body.

:02:31.:02:36.

The stewards did not seem to do too much at all and let it carrhed on.

:02:37.:02:40.

Other kids were hit, and also the disabled section.

:02:41.:02:42.

I am lucky that I have got out and now it is finished.

:02:43.:02:46.

we are totally against it, as a club and as a team.

:02:47.:03:10.

For those kinds of things to happen, especially

:03:11.:03:12.

West Ham became tenants at the London stadium in August

:03:13.:03:20.

and the control of stewarding and security is the responshbility

:03:21.:03:23.

It has made changes to how fans are segregated,

:03:24.:03:32.

following isolated outbreaks of trouble earlier this season,

:03:33.:03:33.

but in the wake of last night's incidents, many feel further

:03:34.:03:36.

amendments at the stadium are now needed.

:03:37.:03:38.

The Football Association has launched an investigation.

:03:39.:03:41.

Both clubs will be asked to give their comment on evdnts

:03:42.:03:43.

but with a string of high-profile fixture still to come this season,

:03:44.:03:49.

the pressure on West Ham to achieve a secure stadium is set to hncrease.

:03:50.:03:52.

Joining me now is London MP Mark Field, who's

:03:53.:04:01.

the vice-chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Football Group.

:04:02.:04:09.

a a a a a a a a a a good evdning. There have been concerns about the

:04:10.:04:16.

stadium and this highlights aired. That it is not fit for football

:04:17.:04:24.

Too many of your listeners `nd viewers, they may think this is a

:04:25.:04:29.

modern football stadium... @nd we thought the bad old days of football

:04:30.:04:34.

hooliganism in the 1970s were over. I feel sorry for West Ham who spend

:04:35.:04:38.

a lot of money in trying to get this state-of-the-art stadium right for

:04:39.:04:41.

football, but in policing tdrms there are real issues about public

:04:42.:04:47.

order. I think this also applies to radio connections for the police

:04:48.:04:51.

there. I would like to see West Ham putting forward a plan in double

:04:52.:04:56.

quick time to the football Association and the Premier League

:04:57.:04:59.

about what they intend to do. It might be that large areas of

:05:00.:05:03.

segregated fans may need to be put in place.

:05:04.:05:07.

Like a pick-up on one point. You talked about the radio security

:05:08.:05:10.

system for the police which was not in place in the stadium. Wh`t is it

:05:11.:05:15.

acceptable for the stadium to open like that? The police did hhghlight

:05:16.:05:18.

this beforehand. It is West Ham... We have not had

:05:19.:05:23.

major problems at the ground for some years in English footb`ll, the

:05:24.:05:26.

presumption was it would be business as usual. That has not happdned and

:05:27.:05:32.

this is a high profile stadhum. Do you think the stadium has

:05:33.:05:36.

contributed to this? I think it has. The much more

:05:37.:05:43.

compact Stadium West Ham usdd to have at Upton Park was one of the

:05:44.:05:46.

best grounds. Clearly there are bigger issues that are being faced

:05:47.:05:51.

at this particular ground. None of this is not solvable. We have seen

:05:52.:05:56.

headlines today talking abott having points deductions and things like

:05:57.:06:02.

that, but I do not think th`t is the way forward. It is up to West Ham to

:06:03.:06:06.

get their house in order. In the meantime, there have been

:06:07.:06:09.

criticisms of the West Ham deal in the first place, moving to the

:06:10.:06:17.

Olympic Stadium, now the London Stadium. If more has to be spent on

:06:18.:06:22.

security in this way, is it right that the taxpayer should pick up the

:06:23.:06:24.

bill? That is a separate issue, rdally. I

:06:25.:06:31.

think the deal was a good one for the tax payer. West Ham havd a good

:06:32.:06:34.

deal as well so they should be making a significant contribution

:06:35.:06:38.

but they need to liaise with the police to make sure this ground is

:06:39.:06:40.

that for purpose for any large sporting occasion. We cannot have

:06:41.:06:46.

much disorder... The saddest thing is that this is a place that we were

:06:47.:06:53.

all very proud of four years ago. You think that West Ham shotld pick

:06:54.:06:58.

up the bill for security inside the stadium?

:06:59.:07:00.

They need to work on getting a plan in place to show that the events of

:07:01.:07:05.

last night are not repeated. If that requires a significant extension

:07:06.:07:11.

that West Ham must make for a part of that bill, a large part of that

:07:12.:07:12.

bill. Thank you.

:07:13.:07:14.

Why solar panels the size of over 50 football pitches

:07:15.:07:19.

the message from the mother of Jamel Boyce,

:07:20.:07:32.

The 17-year-old Boyce was involved in a scuffle outside

:07:33.:07:38.

Police are appealing for anx witnesses to come forward.

:07:39.:07:42.

Emma North has been speaking to Jamel's mother, who says it's

:07:43.:07:45.

impossible to describe the pain she's suffering.

:07:46.:07:53.

This is what Jamel Boyce looks like now. He is critically ill. His

:07:54.:07:59.

mother described what it was like saying goodbye to him almost two

:08:00.:08:03.

weeks ago, on a perfectly normal Friday morning.

:08:04.:08:10.

I said to him, but by, Jamel, he said goodbye mum, have a nice day.

:08:11.:08:14.

That was it. What kind of boy is he?

:08:15.:08:19.

He is happy. He has never bden sad. He is the type of child where I look

:08:20.:08:22.

forward to Saturday mornings were he would be eating breakfast, scrambled

:08:23.:08:26.

eggs with salmon. I look forward to that every Saturday.

:08:27.:08:30.

What do you know about what happened that evening when he was st`bbed?

:08:31.:08:37.

What I know so far... He got stabbed in the heart. The lungs. Thd lake.

:08:38.:08:46.

And in his arm. Have you been to see him in

:08:47.:08:51.

hospital? Basically it is where I livd, and

:08:52.:08:55.

the bedside. I am just waithng. I have got my fingers crossed.

:08:56.:09:01.

When you see him, what is it like to spend time with him?

:09:02.:09:10.

It is so sad. I must I wish him all of the time. I tell him how much I

:09:11.:09:14.

love him, which I know that he knows. I keep reminding him of the

:09:15.:09:21.

things that we are going to do and I just hope that it will happdn.

:09:22.:09:29.

Did you ever think he was the kind of boy who would get stabbed?

:09:30.:09:34.

No, and that is why I am struggling so much. That is why when I heard it

:09:35.:09:41.

was a knife, it is just so devastating. I am just thinking how

:09:42.:09:47.

frightening it must have bedn, and the shock that has gone through his

:09:48.:09:52.

body. And I was even there to help him. -- I was not there to help him.

:09:53.:10:00.

If you had a message to somdone a friend or a relative, who w`s going

:10:01.:10:05.

to carry a knife, what would you say to them?

:10:06.:10:09.

I ask all parents to search their kids. If you find them carrxing a

:10:10.:10:17.

knife, it is too dangerous. The livelihood in my life is gone, and I

:10:18.:10:24.

do not want anyone else to go through this. What ever... @nything

:10:25.:10:29.

that you can do to stop this, please help.

:10:30.:10:31.

Jamel's mother, Pansy Boyce, ending that report.

:10:32.:10:34.

Researchers say every child should be screened for an inherited form

:10:35.:10:37.

of heart disease that affects around one in 270 people.

:10:38.:10:41.

Scientists at Queen Mary Unhversity of London say a simple blood test

:10:42.:10:43.

could prevent about 600 heart attacks each year in England

:10:44.:10:46.

and Wales in people under the age of 40.

:10:47.:10:48.

familial hypercholesterolaelia, also known as FH.

:10:49.:11:01.

Over the generations, this inherited condition

:11:02.:11:03.

Her mother at 40, and her mother and 39, and they all died

:11:04.:11:10.

from a heart attack due to having FH.

:11:11.:11:13.

Kim's two children have also been diagnosed with FH,

:11:14.:11:20.

so like their mum, now have to watch what they eat

:11:21.:11:23.

It is such a devastating and catastrophic condition, really,

:11:24.:11:29.

for the family members who are left behind,

:11:30.:11:31.

And you have this fear that it is going to happen to you.

:11:32.:11:35.

Researchers now believe that a simple blood test

:11:36.:11:37.

carried out in toddlers when they have their routind

:11:38.:11:39.

vaccinations could help identify many more people at risk

:11:40.:11:41.

FH is the main cause of inhdrited early heart disease.

:11:42.:11:46.

It is believed to affect around one in 270 children, characterised

:11:47.:11:50.

Kept untreated, young adults who have the condition have around

:11:51.:11:59.

a ten fold increased risk of heart attack before the age of 40.

:12:00.:12:02.

But now a study involving more than 10,000 children in England

:12:03.:12:04.

and Wales suggests that manx more people could be

:12:05.:12:07.

Children are already passing through general practice at the time

:12:08.:12:13.

when parents are particularly focused on the preventative health

:12:14.:12:16.

of their child, and therefore their families as a whole.

:12:17.:12:18.

So this is an opportunity to provide a population sweep to pick tp people

:12:19.:12:24.

with inherited heart diseasd with a view to avoiding prelature

:12:25.:12:27.

And it is not just babies who are active in the screening

:12:28.:12:33.

Because it is an inherited condition, one parent would also

:12:34.:12:36.

have it, so the process means to generations at the same time

:12:37.:12:39.

In March of this year, the UK National Screening Committee

:12:40.:12:43.

decided that there was not dnough evidence to support a universal

:12:44.:12:46.

So, this is the magazine th`t I got from Heart UK.

:12:47.:12:51.

But Kim believes that early diagnosis could make a cruchal

:12:52.:12:54.

difference to thousands of families who may not realise the danger

:12:55.:12:56.

The BBC has gained access to secret files, which contain new cltes

:12:57.:13:04.

as to how four people were wrongly convicted of the Guilford ptb

:13:05.:13:08.

Gerry Conlon, along with his co-defendants, served 15 ye`rs

:13:09.:13:13.

in jail before the convictions were finally quashed.

:13:14.:13:16.

In October 1974, bombs rippdd through two Guildford pubs.

:13:17.:13:27.

Five people were killed and many more injured.

:13:28.:13:30.

Police were under huge pressure to apprehend the IRA bombers

:13:31.:13:36.

responsible for these Surrey attacks.

:13:37.:13:38.

The police and the army camd in and kicked the door in.

:13:39.:13:44.

Ann was 14 when her brother Gerry Conlon

:13:45.:13:46.

We were an ordinary Catholic family,

:13:47.:13:51.

growing up on the Falls Road in a working class area.

:13:52.:13:57.

You know, my family were not Republicans.

:13:58.:14:00.

There was no way that Gerry Conlon was involved in any bombs,

:14:01.:14:04.

because Gerry Conlon was not in the IRA.

:14:05.:14:07.

The accused were brought to court from the police stations

:14:08.:14:10.

The Guildford Four were found guilty and sentenced to life in prhson ..

:14:11.:14:15.

Charged as a result of a Surrey Police investig`tion.

:14:16.:14:17.

In 1989, their moment of redemption came.

:14:18.:14:27.

The Court of Appeal overturned their convictions,

:14:28.:14:29.

For something I didn't know anything about!

:14:30.:14:38.

The case shattered confidence in the British legal system.

:14:39.:14:41.

The Guildford Four claimed they had been set up by corrupt police.

:14:42.:14:45.

An inquiry into the wrongful convictions was carried out

:14:46.:14:48.

by a High Court judge, Sir John May.

:14:49.:14:51.

But more than 700 files from Sir John May's findings

:14:52.:14:54.

remained private, embargoed by the Government.

:14:55.:14:59.

Now a freedom of information request by the BBC has succeeded in securing

:15:00.:15:03.

For the first time, they show some members of the inquiry refused

:15:04.:15:10.

to accept that Gerry Conlon had not been a member of the IRA,

:15:11.:15:14.

Gerry was burning up inside that he never

:15:15.:15:20.

To him, it was an injustice piled on top of a whole heap

:15:21.:15:28.

The papers referred to police intelligence from the time

:15:29.:15:33.

of the arrests which was never tested in court.

:15:34.:15:37.

They give us an indication that some of the problems we had in the course

:15:38.:15:43.

the persistent attempt to try to re-convict the

:15:44.:15:51.

I would like to see everythhng that Sir John May saw,

:15:52.:15:55.

and all the evidence that w`s given to him, and all the documents that

:15:56.:15:58.

were produced in him, so th`t we can see what it was that he was able

:15:59.:16:02.

to find out about the case `nd why it went so badly wrong.

:16:03.:16:06.

And why four young people were convicted of terrible offences

:16:07.:16:12.

and served an enormous period of time for them.

:16:13.:16:15.

He wanted a public apology for all of those convicted.

:16:16.:16:22.

I am very sorry that they wdre subject to such an ordeal

:16:23.:16:25.

In 2005, the then Prime Minhster Tony Blair issued an apologx

:16:26.:16:33.

to the Guildford Four for the miscarriage of justhce.

:16:34.:16:36.

It was almost like a millstone had been taken from around my ndck.

:16:37.:16:43.

Gerry Conlon died two years ago aged 60.

:16:44.:16:49.

Richard O'Rawe, a former spokesperson for the IRA,

:16:50.:16:53.

and biographer and friend of Gerry Conlon, says there are now

:16:54.:16:55.

renewed calls for all 700 fhles to be placed into the public domain.

:16:56.:17:01.

It still matters because thdre was such a huge injustice to Ann,

:17:02.:17:07.

Gerry's sister, and it mattdrs to enough other people.

:17:08.:17:11.

It has to matter, because if it does not matter, we live in a society

:17:12.:17:19.

You know, what the British Government has done,

:17:20.:17:22.

42 years later, I'm still not getting answers.

:17:23.:17:33.

Stay with us, because still to come tonight:

:17:34.:17:36.

The boy with cerebral palsy given a starring West End role,

:17:37.:17:39.

after his parents crowdfunddd for a life-changing operation.

:17:40.:17:52.

Next, it's quite an ambitiots plan - a London council being fullx

:17:53.:17:55.

powered by solar energy, which they claim will

:17:56.:17:57.

save them millions of pounds in the longer term.

:17:58.:17:59.

It already has solar panels on its building,

:18:00.:18:01.

but now wants to put them on greenbelt land as well -

:18:02.:18:04.

something not everyone is happy about.

:18:05.:18:05.

They call it a peaceful gredn oasis is in the busy borough of H`vering,

:18:06.:18:16.

next to Dagenham Park, it is also home to herds of deer.

:18:17.:18:19.

We have a huge variety of whldlife here, all indigenous.

:18:20.:18:24.

There are foxes, badgers, newts and crested newts.

:18:25.:18:26.

And there are butterflies, and over 80 species of birds.

:18:27.:18:31.

I bring my children over here, and to this very own partictlar

:18:32.:18:39.

This greenbelt land is owned by Havering Council

:18:40.:18:49.

and it is proposing turning 30 hectares of it,

:18:50.:18:53.

pitches, into London's first solar park on land.

:18:54.:18:57.

This is what a similar park looks like on farmland in Leicestdrshire.

:18:58.:19:02.

In Havering, the plans are for solar panels on 30 hectares next

:19:03.:19:05.

to Dagenham Park to generatd enough power for nearly 3000 homes.

:19:06.:19:12.

The council also wants to ttrn eight hectares, about 11 football pitches,

:19:13.:19:15.

of land in Gerpins Lane into a solar park too.

:19:16.:19:22.

Havering Council denies its plans for a solar park here

:19:23.:19:25.

It says that it would leave most of the trees and hedgerows,

:19:26.:19:29.

and plant a wildflower meadow, and it would let the deer and other

:19:30.:19:32.

wild animals still be allowdd to thrive and roam freely hdre.

:19:33.:19:35.

Nearly 3000 of them have signed an online petition.

:19:36.:19:40.

But the council says that the scheme would generate badly needed funds.

:19:41.:19:43.

Income is generated through utilising what was

:19:44.:19:46.

effectively a neglected bit of agricultural land...

:19:47.:19:52.

It turns it into a moneymakhng scheme, and really it

:19:53.:19:54.

will help to support division public services.

:19:55.:19:57.

I feel that the vast majority of residents in Havering

:19:58.:19:59.

So, should this be a park providing renewable energy or left

:20:00.:20:04.

The council wants to hear what local people think,

:20:05.:20:10.

and they have until November 14 to reply.

:20:11.:20:12.

Yvonne Hall, BBC London News, Havering.

:20:13.:20:21.

There's a huge amount of worry that the Brexit vote

:20:22.:20:23.

could hit the City of London, all the trading that goes

:20:24.:20:26.

on there and the money that flows from it into the economy.

:20:27.:20:29.

But some analysts say the m`ssive deregulation 30 years ago -

:20:30.:20:31.

the so-called "Big Bang" - could in fact protect

:20:32.:20:34.

Before the Big Bang, trading had to be done

:20:35.:20:37.

face-to-face between certain controlled trading companies,

:20:38.:20:38.

but afterwards, anyone could trade and it was all done by comptters.

:20:39.:20:41.

This is a short history of a remarkable and

:20:42.:20:43.

The previous day, you had thousands of people walking

:20:44.:21:29.

across the market floor, huge noise, and you walk

:21:30.:21:31.

in on the Monday morning and the trading options market

:21:32.:21:33.

was just on its own, and the rest of the stock exchange

There is a direct line of c`usation from the Big Bang in 1986,

:21:37.:21:58.

because pre- the Big Bang, we took the risk ourselves with our

:21:59.:22:00.

Post- Big Bang, we were now taking risks

:22:01.:22:05.

with somebody else's money, and so the risks could be btilt up,

:22:06.:22:08.

but somebody else was going to be responsible for it.

:22:09.:22:33.

Now, Ethan Quinn is currently enjoying the limelight

:22:34.:22:36.

in the West End, but his jotrney there hasn't been an easy one.

:22:37.:22:42.

The 11-year-old from Buckinghamshire was diagnosed with cerebral palsy

:22:43.:22:45.

He was struggling with mobility and would have needed a whedlchair.

:22:46.:22:50.

That is, until surgery changed his life in more ways than one.

:22:51.:22:53.

In the past, this would havd been impossible for Ethan -

:22:54.:23:02.

not so much being on stage, but climbing on top of a pi`no.

:23:03.:23:10.

Facing life in a wheelchair, his cerebral palsy, a neurological

:23:11.:23:12.

That is, until a ground-bre`king operation changed his life.

:23:13.:23:19.

Do you ever look back a couple of years ago and think

:23:20.:23:22.

I do that a lot, to be honest, because...

:23:23.:23:26.

just that one operation made such a difference.

:23:27.:23:30.

Because as I got older, I gradually got worse.

:23:31.:23:33.

I just do not think I would have been able to do this,

:23:34.:23:36.

because it is standing on phanos and everything, and dancing.

:23:37.:23:42.

Fundraising events saw his family raise ?50,000 for the delic`te

:23:43.:23:46.

procedure, unavailable on the NHS, separating damaged nerve fibres

:23:47.:23:48.

I did not really think I had a chance.

:23:49.:24:01.

That you had to have perfect mobility and you just have to be

:24:02.:24:07.

But then I realised that anyone can do it.

:24:08.:24:21.

And now Ethan's long-held dream of a life on the stage

:24:22.:24:27.

At one point, at some points, I would think maybe that I should,

:24:28.:24:31.

But then I thought that this operation could be

:24:32.:24:36.

What would you like to be doing in five or ten years'

:24:37.:24:49.

I would kind of like to keep doing what I am doing

:24:50.:24:53.

and making a name for myself, and not for my...

:24:54.:24:58.

I do not want to be known as the voice who has cerebr`l palsy.

:24:59.:25:03.

I want to be known for me, and I think personally that people

:25:04.:25:07.

should be known for what thdy do and not for what they were.

:25:08.:25:16.

Time now for a check on the weather with Louise Lear

:25:17.:25:21.

:26:36.:26:40.

for many, and pleasant in the sunshine with light winds and not

:26:41.:26:44.

feeling too bad. Into the wdekend, not much change. However we could

start of with some mist and Ford issues. Murky in the London area but

pretty cloudy and pretty drx. High-pressure driving it, staying

That fog will list and we whll see cloud around on Saturday. More
