Tonight on BBC London News. news teams where you are.

:00:00.:00:00.

Is this the radical solution to the spiralling costs

:00:07.:00:08.

It is a white elephant. It's a claret and blue painted white

:00:09.:00:20.

elephant, I would demolish ht, knock it down and rebuilt something that

:00:21.:00:22.

is suitable for its purpose. It comes after the Mayor orders

:00:23.:00:25.

an inquiry into the costs If I was a white guy, it wotldn t be

happening. This man claims he's been rdpeatedly

:00:29.:00:39.

stopped and searched by police on the Thames -

:00:40.:00:41.

because of his race. Plus: we show you images

:00:42.:00:43.

of what the City would have looked like before

:00:44.:00:46.

the Great Fire of London. And it all began 80

:00:47.:00:48.

years ago tonight. We'll be live at Alexandra Palace

:00:49.:00:52.

celebrating the birth Welcome to the programme

:00:53.:00:54.

with me, Riz Lateef. First, the logician who says the

:00:55.:01:20.

only way to prevent costs at the big stadium spiralling is to knock it

:01:21.:01:24.

down and rebuild it is something suitable for purpose -- the

:01:25.:01:25.

politician. The criticism comes after the Mayor

:01:26.:01:28.

of London, Sadiq Khan, ordered an investigation

:01:29.:01:30.

into the rising cost to taxpayers of what is now the home

:01:31.:01:32.

of the Premier League football club West Ham.

:01:33.:01:35.

Chris Slegg reports. The golden summer of 2012. Back

:01:36.:01:44.

then, to many, it felt like London's showpiece Olympic Stadium w`s worth

:01:45.:01:49.

every penny. Four years on, there's been problems with access, crowd

:01:50.:01:53.

disturbances and now the revelation of further expense to run the venue.

:01:54.:02:00.

It cost ?272 million to convert the big stadium into a home for West

:02:01.:02:04.

Ham, just ?15 million came from the new league club, the rest from the

:02:05.:02:09.

public purse. A further ?51 million will now be required from the

:02:10.:02:14.

taxpayer. I have ordered an investigation to find that what has

:02:15.:02:19.

gone on in the past, work ddcisions taken poorly, where the negotiations

:02:20.:02:24.

done properly, also to find financial solutions going forward,

:02:25.:02:30.

every summer we will spend lillions in retractable seating and other

:02:31.:02:33.

issues, the question is, whx weren't these things known before? Loving

:02:34.:02:38.

the steeds were supposed to cost ?300,000 a year. Now it emerged the

:02:39.:02:43.

cost will be ?8 million a ydar, because they aren't all that

:02:44.:02:48.

retractable, taking 50 days to remove for Atletico events or

:02:49.:02:52.

concerts and 15 days to reinstall. Some believe it could never be a

:02:53.:02:58.

fully multipurpose stadium. I would demolish it, knock it down to the

:02:59.:03:01.

surface and rebuild something that suitable but it's purpose. H know

:03:02.:03:05.

that sounds bizarre when yot are talking about hundreds of mhllions

:03:06.:03:08.

of pounds, somebody bold enough has got to say, we have got to stop

:03:09.:03:13.

shovelling money into this failure, into this white elephant. Wdst Ham

:03:14.:03:20.

have a 99 year lease at the stadium and chose not to comment today.

:03:21.:03:26.

Sadiq Khan says hitting quarry will scrutinise all. -- his enquhry. It

:03:27.:03:31.

was under Boris Johnson that commitment was made to the HSC, the

:03:32.:03:37.

running track would always stay You can't blame West Ham for taking a

:03:38.:03:40.

massively generous contract, the blame solely lies with the people

:03:41.:03:45.

who signed off on the contr`ct and that's why this enquiry is so

:03:46.:03:50.

important, we need to properly scrutinise who signed off on appeal

:03:51.:03:52.

and mix sure it doesn't happen again. Hopes of recouping some of

:03:53.:03:59.

the costs involved funding ` naming rights partner. Negotiations with

:04:00.:04:03.

one had just broken down. Rhght now this doesn't look like the stadium

:04:04.:04:05.

legacy anyone wanted. Coming up later: the West End is set

:04:06.:04:16.

to see a sort in sales over this festive period. We are at one

:04:17.:04:19.

department store whose Christmas shop opened in August.

:04:20.:04:23.

A man claims he's been stopped and searched repeatedly

:04:24.:04:25.

by police on the River Thamds because he's black.

:04:26.:04:33.

He believes he's being unfahrly targeted by officers,

:04:34.:04:35.

who are looking out for potential terrorists.

:04:36.:04:37.

The Met's denied the allegations as Gareth Furby reports.

:04:38.:04:40.

The Met has teams of officers patrolling the Thames.

:04:41.:04:42.

But at the moment their powers are limited.

:04:43.:04:45.

Unless they suspect terrorism, they can't

:04:46.:04:47.

And one man claims they've been going too far.

:04:48.:04:56.

At least as far as his boat is concerned.

:04:57.:05:00.

Michael Sylvester from Plaistow says he was stopped and his boat boarded

:05:01.:05:04.

without consent when he was on a day trip with friends and children.

:05:05.:05:10.

The reason they stop us is because they

:05:11.:05:12.

Two police boats can be seen either side of Mr Sylvester's boat

:05:13.:05:21.

and he's not happy when an officer boards and asks what they'rd doing.

:05:22.:05:27.

I'd like to know where you've been...

:05:28.:05:29.

If you can answer the questhons about who is on the boat...

:05:30.:05:36.

He got his rope, chucked it on and said he's

:05:37.:05:38.

We fit the description of tdrrorists because obviously they must

:05:39.:05:44.

believe I'm a Muslim. I'm not even a Muslim.

:05:45.:05:47.

This just racism, because I'm black, if I was a white guy behind this

:05:48.:05:50.

wheel here, it wouldn't be happening.

:05:51.:05:55.

Mr Sylvester says before it was boarded, the

:05:56.:05:58.

children were feeding birds.

:05:59.:06:05.

He claims he's being stopped repeatedly.

:06:06.:06:06.

I would say 30, 40 times in the past month.

:06:07.:06:14.

This happens to me every tile I come on this water.

:06:15.:06:17.

The Met has a very different view of this incident, saying

:06:18.:06:20.

patrols are routine and it was one of four stops that day.

:06:21.:06:23.

The Met says the officer thought he had consent

:06:24.:06:25.

and police were concerned about people not wearing life jackets

:06:26.:06:27.

A community adviser on Stop and Search says the event does raise

:06:28.:06:40.

For me looking at the clip, my concern again is the

:06:41.:06:45.

policy, and the understanding of the policy.

:06:46.:06:47.

No one really understands what the police rights are on the

:06:48.:06:50.

The Terrorism Act gives polhce the right to stop and search

:06:51.:06:54.

on the river if an officer suspects a craft is being used for the

:06:55.:06:57.

It is now being recommended the Met is given

:06:58.:07:00.

The police can stop and search somebody

:07:01.:07:04.

they see on the road, in a car, but if it

:07:05.:07:12.

a boat on the river, they

:07:13.:07:13.

simply don't have the powers the moment to stop them and check that

:07:14.:07:16.

everything is OK and everything is appropriate.

:07:17.:07:18.

A change may come as early as next year.

:07:19.:07:20.

Mr Sylvester, though, is not happy with the way hd

:07:21.:07:22.

is being treated under the existing law.

:07:23.:07:25.

Tributes have been paid to an Italian student who w`s killed

:07:26.:07:28.

Filippo Corsini was studying at Regent's University London.

:07:29.:07:31.

He died on Monday after a collision with a lorry

:07:32.:07:35.

He is believed to be from a well-known aristocratic famhly from

:07:36.:07:49.

Florence. The lorry driver has been arrested and bailed.

:07:50.:07:51.

Police are warning about thd use of fireworks in public placds

:07:52.:07:54.

following a number of inciddnts in the capital.

:07:55.:07:56.

Officers were called to this street in Holloway last weekend

:07:57.:07:58.

as fireworks were thrown up and down the road through passing tr`ffic.

:07:59.:08:01.

Campaigners have lost their long legal battle

:08:02.:08:04.

to save an allotment in Watford - that's more than

:08:05.:08:06.

They had challenged a government dechsion

:08:07.:08:09.

at the High Court to allow Watford Borough Council to dxtend

:08:10.:08:12.

the local hospital and build hundreds of new homes on thd plot.

:08:13.:08:15.

The legal bid was seen as a test case for those trying to protect

:08:16.:08:18.

The London Fire Brigade has coped well with cuts to its budget

:08:19.:08:29.

but shouldn't face any more, that's according to an independent

:08:30.:08:31.

Under Boris Johnson, ten fire stations were closdd and

:08:32.:08:38.

more than 500 jobs lost - cuts heavily criticised at the time

:08:39.:08:41.

by Assembly members and described as "dangerous"

:08:42.:08:42.

Our political editor Tim Donovan reports from City Hall.

:08:43.:08:55.

It was a noisy campaign, opposing station closures,

:08:56.:08:56.

and the loss of fire engines and jobs.

:08:57.:09:01.

But the review says that those cuts during Boris

:09:02.:09:03.

Johnson's mayoralty should now be reversed.

:09:04.:09:23.

In other words, London has coped and Londoners

:09:24.:09:25.

I was concerned as to whether we were safe

:09:26.:09:28.

review is good news and we should be reassured that they do a grdat job

:09:29.:09:34.

Clerkenwell was one of the ten fire stations shut.

:09:35.:09:37.

Boris Johnson was accused of recklessness.

:09:38.:09:45.

Some attendance times have lengthened but

:09:46.:09:46.

at City Hall the Conservatives today say they are fully vindicatdd.

:09:47.:09:51.

The changes came from the fire brigade

:09:52.:09:56.

themselves, there was this myth being put about

:09:57.:10:05.

his office, recklessly cutthng the Fire Brigade without a single

:10:06.:10:09.

This report produced by a L`bour mayor, explodes the myth colpletely.

:10:10.:10:13.

One of those accused of peddling that myth was appointed by Sadiq

:10:14.:10:16.

We did campaign hard on it, we did limit the number of fire closures,

:10:17.:10:21.

and I won't apologise for standing up for Londoners and public safety.

:10:22.:10:24.

Do you accept it could look as if you were scaremongering?

:10:25.:10:26.

I don't think we were scaremongering.

:10:27.:10:28.

Boris Johnson had initially planned to

:10:29.:10:29.

make at least twice as many fire station closures.

:10:30.:10:33.

The review also concludes that the Fire Service can

:10:34.:10:35.

cope with further savings of more than ?20 million.

:10:36.:10:40.

But after that, it says, there should be no more cuts.

:10:41.:10:49.

Still to come: I don't belidve there is therapy for that, or that

:10:50.:10:58.

anything can be lessened by songwriting in that way stop Pixie

:10:59.:11:05.

Geldof talks to us about thd influence of difficult family

:11:06.:11:09.

history has had on her music. I am the Alexandra Palace for thd BBC's

:11:10.:11:13.

80th birthday, with Lily, one of the first performers, back in 1837. And

:11:14.:11:18.

she can still do it! As we head towards the Christmas

:11:19.:11:27.

shopping season amid Brexit - could local high streets have

:11:28.:11:30.

to compete much harder while the West End gets a boost

from tourists and the low pound Let's get more from Emilia

Papadopoulos who's in one Yes, many of us might not bdlieve it

:11:37.:11:53.

but there are just 52 days left until Christmas, and here in

Selfridge's, it's feeling Christmassy already. This Christmas

shop opened back in August, and their window displays were tnveiled

:12:02.:12:06.

two weeks ago. They in mind most stores wait till after Halloween to

:12:07.:12:11.

unveil fares. Today in London, other stores were gearing up for the

:12:12.:12:16.

season of big spending. The final festive touches to a window display

:12:17.:12:20.

in Knightsbridge. While Chrhstmas may seem a little way off, the

:12:21.:12:23.

holiday spending and adverthsing has begun.

:12:24.:12:29.

It is hoped that the next fdw weeks will bring a much-needed boost to

:12:30.:12:36.

the industry after a tricky start of the year. For many retailers, Brexit

:12:37.:12:40.

has meant a year of uncertahnty but when it comes to Christmas spending,

:12:41.:12:43.

it's good news, it's predicted that the festive period will see more

:12:44.:12:48.

than 2 billion spent, more than ?51 million a day, and 1.6% up on last

:12:49.:12:54.

you's spending, and a lot of that is down to international tourists

:12:55.:12:57.

coming here to shop and takd advantage of the weak pound. With

:12:58.:13:01.

the exchange rate having moved, London, which is always a

:13:02.:13:05.

fantastically vibrant and attractive city, has to be even more attracted

:13:06.:13:09.

to those international customers, we are making the most of it.

:13:10.:13:12.

Department stores in the West End feeling confident but some dxperts

:13:13.:13:15.

are warning it's the high street that could suffer. Somewherd like

:13:16.:13:20.

Oxford Street is going to bdnefit from international shoppers, where

:13:21.:13:23.

as you wouldn't get that on the high street, so it's got to work quite

:13:24.:13:27.

hard to appeal to the local shoppers, to be aware they light

:13:28.:13:30.

feel price sensitive. Ten mhles away from the west end on Ely high

:13:31.:13:34.

Street, did shoppers feel they would be spending more or less thhs

:13:35.:13:41.

Christmas? More or less the same. Trying to make it as normal as

:13:42.:13:45.

possible. Prices are bound to go up sooner or later so probably less.

:13:46.:13:51.

Spending habits may not be changing dramatically but the high streets

:13:52.:13:54.

also have to content with competition from online shopping and

:13:55.:13:57.

while there might be a boon to look forward to now, business rate

:13:58.:14:00.

increases and the continuing fallout from Brexit mean the forecast for

:14:01.:14:09.

the New Year could be less bright. There is definitely still some

:14:10.:14:11.

uncertainty about what spending patterns will look like next year

:14:12.:14:15.

but this year, from here anxway Christmas shopping is well `nd truly

:14:16.:14:19.

underway and officially kicks off at the weekend when the Christlas

:14:20.:14:20.

lights are switched on. Next: let's go back

:14:21.:14:23.

to 17th Century London - and how the city would have looked -

:14:24.:14:27.

before much of it was destroyed New images of a virtual tour have

:14:28.:14:30.

been created by a group of university students

:14:31.:14:35.

and the British Library. The Great Fire of

:14:36.:14:37.

London was merciless. Incinerating thousands

:14:38.:14:47.

of centuries-old medieval btildings. But what did the city look like

:14:48.:14:50.

before the disaster? Student at Leicester's de

that none of exists. That's the wonderful

thing about old maps, this helps you visualise wh`t it

:16:20.:16:22.

must have been like. This instant draft of

a gutted London was soon after used as the basis of this

of a destroyed city. Today, though, we can virtu`lly fly

Geldof not to have ended up in the music business, with her father Bob

Geldof and the boyfriend both musicians, it seemed almost

:17:34.:17:36.

inevitable. It was definitely something that I saw as this amazing

:17:37.:17:45.

thing that my father enjoys, and really just loved, and so when you

:17:46.:17:49.

see that with any career, you think, that looks great! But despite her

:17:50.:17:59.

father's fame, she says she doesn't feel any pressure. My dad does this

:18:00.:18:07.

also, I don't feel like I'vd got to something or got to justify

:18:08.:18:12.

anything, I just do what I do and I hope that I do it well. And your

:18:13.:18:16.

style is very different. Very different! It's quite gentld. And

:18:17.:18:26.

soft, I think. I like subtldties in songs and unlike whispers. On her

:18:41.:18:47.

is one of hopefulness. Recording it is very cathartic, singing hs very

:18:48.:18:50.

cathartic. I don't believe there is a therapy for that, or that anything

:18:51.:18:55.

can be lessened by songwrithng in that way. But yes, I think ht's good

:18:56.:19:03.

to get it out, but I don't think it can ever come out.

:19:04.:19:15.

Her debut album is out on Friday. She hopes it'll find it awax to

:19:16.:19:22.

people who take something from it. There are albums that mean so much

:19:23.:19:25.

to me and that I've completdly carried throughout my life `nd I

:19:26.:19:30.

would love this album to become that for one person, that just c`rries

:19:31.:19:35.

them, that's fantastic. That's the hope. We will see!

:19:36.:19:40.

It was 80 years ago today - that the world's first television

:19:41.:19:43.

programme was broadcast from Alexandra Palace.

:19:44.:19:44.

At its launch TV was only on air a couple of hours a day -

:19:45.:19:48.

in order to avoid eye strain and fit around domestic life -

:19:49.:19:51.

Well tonight, Ally Pally is celebrating the landmark moment

:19:52.:19:56.

in broadcasting history and Asad Ahmad is there.

:19:57.:20:06.

That's the mast of whether first broadcast pictures were sent around

:20:07.:20:15.

the country, that there werd only about 200 set at the time, but it

:20:16.:20:19.

was the start of something special. A revolution that spanned the world.

:20:20.:20:24.

This was the BBC Tower at rdception, there is a blue plaque to m`rk the

:20:25.:20:31.

occasion, 1936, the first broadcast. On the left, the first BBC studios,

:20:32.:20:36.

:20:45.:20:52.

Eventually, the Alexandra P`lace was chosen. This is where it all began.

Much has changed but wherevdr you are watching this now, it's only

:21:04.:21:08.

ago and a few hours, broadc`sting started at three o'clock, the BBC

first television broadcasts and put them in a room over their four Tea

Party. There are some real characters with great storids. It

:21:21.:21:25.

was a meeting of the unsung legends, one told me about his father, who

:21:26.:21:30.

helped the first ever broadcast Did you or your father ever think

:21:31.:21:34.

television would have the ilpact it would have around the world from

:21:35.:21:39.

this humble home in Alexandra Palace? I am sure he had no idea,

:21:40.:21:44.

and I have seen it grow, but for him, I wouldn't think so. Btt TV did

:21:45.:21:50.

take over the world. At the age of 12 you were on the BBC in 1837, any

:21:51.:21:58.

memories of that? Vivid memories. I remember the dressing room `t the

back, Leslie Mitchell announced me... I was in the middle and I let

:22:06.:22:09.

my mother sit on the side, ht wasn't a stage, was it? What are your

:22:10.:22:19.

memories of the dress? The dress for my first television appearance, I

:22:20.:22:22.

created quite a stir in the studio! Because I turned up in a bl`ck

:22:23.:22:28.

evening dress and in those days television couldn't take th`t so

:22:29.:22:33.

they were scurrying all arotnd the place to buy something, somdone came

:22:34.:22:39.

up with a very bright, flowdred scarf and they draped it ovdr me.

:22:40.:22:50.

Any advice from either the future? No secret, just hard work and worry!

:22:51.:22:57.

Some good advice from hell `nd there. This is one of the e`rliest

:22:58.:23:02.

cameras the BBC used. Some of you may be familiar with this, one of

:23:03.:23:07.

the old BBC cameras, it's great being hit, like a big toy shop. You

:23:08.:23:13.

are the Chief Executive of @lexandra Palace, what a great time to be

:23:14.:23:18.

here! It's great to celebrate the 80th anniversary, such a grdat event

:23:19.:23:22.

in the history of Alexandra Palace. This really gives us a appe`rance of

:23:23.:23:26.

the past. But what does the future hold for the BBC here? Todax's

:23:27.:23:34.

events are the start of our build-up to the opening of the visitor

attraction in 2018 which will celebrate all of this history and

:23:38.:23:41.

heritage that happened here as part of the major East Wing restoration

:23:42.:23:44.

which will have a new theatre and a new place for the public to enjoy,

:23:45.:23:50.

but today is about celebrathng that heritage. So it's not about getting

:23:51.:23:54.

rid of the BBC's presents hdre. You are keeping it alive. We've had so

:23:55.:24:00.

many people passionate about bringing this history to life, about

:24:01.:24:04.

the BBC at the Palace, we wouldn't get away with not doing it. The BBC

:24:05.:24:09.

is part of how the building looks and the history is so important to

:24:10.:24:15.

us. How lovely was it to spdak to some of those pioneers of broadcast,

:24:16.:24:17.

such lovely people with gre`t stories. That's a real opportunity

:24:18.:24:22.

for us, to tell their storids, the people behind the camera, in front

:24:23.:24:27.

of the camera, what that tells us about society, communication and

:24:28.:24:32.

broadcast and how it moved on. Thank you for letting us be here today,

:24:33.:24:35.

it's been wonderful for me hf you want to come down to Alexandra

:24:46.:24:47.

Time now for a check on the weather and John Hammond is here.

:24:48.:24:53.

Southern chilly but sunny wdather, it's been grew yesterday across the

:24:54.:25:01.

capital. Beautiful blue skids and crisp sunshine across the London

:25:02.:25:09.

area, this fantastic picturd. The sun has set the temperatures are

:25:10.:25:12.

falling dramatically, a lot of cloud skating across northern and eastern

:25:13.:25:18.

parts of the UK but missing us so all the heat escapes into space and

:25:19.:25:22.

temperatures will plummet over the next few hours. If anything, colder

:25:23.:25:31.

than last night, I think thd night will be a couple of degrees lower in

:25:32.:25:38.

some places, we could get 2,3 general spots. One or two thick

:25:39.:25:46.

patches of folk, particularly out of town. Cold and frosty start. Some

:25:47.:25:52.

blue sky through the morning, wants the fog shifted away stop the cloud

:25:53.:25:58.

will increase a little bit `cross more north-western parts of the

:25:59.:26:02.

area, as we get into the afternoon, but I think it will stay drx with

:26:03.:26:06.

brightness holding on. But temperatures will never get

:26:07.:26:13.

spectacularly high. Shouldn't feel too bad, but we go back into another

:26:14.:26:18.

chilly night, not as cold tomorrow night, because we have more cloud

:26:19.:26:27.

around and bits and pieces of rain. All courtesy of this area of low

:26:28.:26:30.

pressure, that's going across the country, across our patch as we go

:26:31.:26:34.

into Saturday, so expect sole showers. This weekend, a lot of

:26:35.:26:40.

fireworks parties, if you are going out, it will be a chilly wind and

:26:41.:26:41.

the chance of showers. Our headlines: the conditions in

:26:42.:26:52.

English and Welsh prisons h`s been likened to a bloodbath by the head

of the prison officers Association. The government is set to unveil its

plans for prison reform tomorrow. The Prime Minister has described the

from wearing poppies -- described briefer. And the cost of thd

branded astronomical by the chairman of the Commons sports committee The

all the now. More on our website. Or join the conversation on our

If you trust me not and I trust you not,

:27:55.:27:56.

then what is the point in this marriage at all?

:27:57.:27:58.

Life holds very few things which are genuinely worth having.

:27:59.:28:01.

If you don't possess them, everything else is worthless.
