On tonight's programme: - so it's goodbye from me -

:00:00.:00:00.

Eight years after a fire claimed multiple lives in South London,

:00:07.:00:09.

the local council today expresses it's "regret" that it

:00:10.:00:11.

Also tonight: A "senseless" and "unprovoked" attack -

:00:12.:00:16.

we hear from the mother of Oliver Dearlove, who was killed

:00:17.:00:19.

on a night out in south east London by just one punch.

:00:20.:00:26.

Oliver will always be with us. We will just have to get an without him

:00:27.:00:35.

in our lives but she will always be there.

:00:36.:00:36.

As Whirlpool says these faulty driers shouldn't be used -

:00:37.:00:40.

we ask where that leaves consumers who say the machines

:00:41.:00:42.

And, why two City of London policemen were tasked

:00:43.:00:45.

with photographing bombed London during World War Two.

:00:46.:01:02.

Eight years after a fire claimed the lives of six people in a tower

:01:03.:01:07.

block in south London - the local council has today admitted

:01:08.:01:09.

Southwark Council were taken to court by the London Fire Brigade

:01:10.:01:15.

after what happened at Lakanal House in Camberwell in 2009.

:01:16.:01:19.

An electrical fault with a television led to a fire

:01:20.:01:23.

which left three women and three children dead.

:01:24.:01:26.

The council has expressed its "sincere regret".

:01:27.:01:29.

It started as a fire in a ninth floor flat.

:01:30.:01:37.

It could and should have stayed that way.

:01:38.:01:40.

But poor fire safety at Lakanal House meant

:01:41.:01:43.

the blaze spread quickly through the building

:01:44.:01:44.

It later emerged that the block had not had a proper

:01:45.:01:51.

An assessment that could have saved lives.

:01:52.:01:57.

I happened to be at home. I had a doctor appointment in the morning

:01:58.:02:05.

but I would normally be at work. I saw the fire developing and it was

:02:06.:02:10.

terrifying, to be honest. It started in one dwelling and within about

:02:11.:02:14.

three quarters of an hour it spread upwards and downwards, falling

:02:15.:02:18.

debris in the case of the down word spread and it was horrifying.

:02:19.:02:20.

Today Southwark council pleaded guilty to four fire safety charges

:02:21.:02:24.

Despite the block being renovated three years before the fire

:02:25.:02:28.

There were no seals on any of the fire doors, there were problems with

:02:29.:02:38.

the stairs and there were no partitions. Put together, it meant

:02:39.:02:41.

the smoke and fire spread more quickly. What happened was, it was

:02:42.:02:47.

laid out in court today, is investment in order to improve these

:02:48.:02:50.

flats for the people who were living in them toned them instead into a

:02:51.:02:58.

death trap and the council failed to supervise the work being done to

:02:59.:03:02.

make sure that it complied with fire safety standards and they feel to do

:03:03.:03:06.

risk assessment after the work was completed to ensure that the

:03:07.:03:09.

buildings or not only improved by the tenants, but they were safe. --

:03:10.:03:16.

improved for the tenants. Lakanal has been closed since the fire but

:03:17.:03:24.

will reopen next month. Today, the council's barrister expressed

:03:25.:03:27.

sincere regret. I would go further than that, it should never have

:03:28.:03:32.

happened. People lost their lives and it is awful, it really is. I

:03:33.:03:37.

would go further than sleuths to Emacs and see regret, I would say we

:03:38.:03:42.

were in the wrong -- further than sincere regret, we were in the

:03:43.:03:48.

wrong. It says in the last seven years, it spent ?62 million on fire

:03:49.:03:52.

safety improvements over the homes that runs in the borough. It will be

:03:53.:03:56.

sentenced early next week. They are likely to be facing a big fine.

:03:57.:03:59.

That's our top story this Friday night, but we've still got lots

:04:00.:04:02.

to squeeze into the programme tonight, including:

:04:03.:04:07.

Customers are told to unplug potentially faulty driers

:04:08.:04:09.

but Whirlpool insists they're still low risk -

:04:10.:04:11.

we find out about your rights and if you're the owner of one

:04:12.:04:14.

of the thousands of affected machines.

:04:15.:04:22.

The mother of a man who was killed when he was attacked on a night out

:04:23.:04:26.

in south east London, says "no parent should have to make

:04:27.:04:29.

the decision to switch off their child's life support".

:04:30.:04:33.

30 year-old Oliver Dearlove was killed when Trevor Timon hit him

:04:34.:04:36.

in Blackheath Village in August last year.

:04:37.:04:40.

It was unprovoked and will see Mr Timon

:04:41.:04:42.

This all happened on a night out. Oliver Dearlove was with his

:04:43.:04:56.

friends. It was a university reunion evening and they were on their way

:04:57.:05:00.

home in the bumped into a group of women and they were with Trevor

:05:01.:05:04.

Timon. I do not think Tim and liked them talking and she said to Oliver

:05:05.:05:07.

Dearlove, if you do not get out of my face, I will not you out. He

:05:08.:05:12.

delivered this lethal punch to his head. It knocked onto the ground and

:05:13.:05:17.

a passing motorist stopped and gave him first aid. He was taken to

:05:18.:05:24.

hospital but died within 24 hours. Earlier we spoke to his mother about

:05:25.:05:27.

the events of the night. She was at the countryside at the time and she

:05:28.:05:30.

said receiving that form called was like a nightmare. We got the message

:05:31.:05:36.

come through at four in the morning, because there was no signal where we

:05:37.:05:40.

were and the children could not get in contact with us. We were told

:05:41.:05:46.

that Oliver had been assaulted and it was quite serious. We jumped in

:05:47.:05:51.

the car straightaway and started to drive. As fast as we could to get

:05:52.:06:01.

the motorway. The police try to help us but we never caught up with them.

:06:02.:06:05.

We drove as fast as we could and then clear came back to us and told

:06:06.:06:08.

us there was nothing they could do for Oliver. That was the worst car

:06:09.:06:17.

journey ever. The court heard this was not the first time the Trevor

:06:18.:06:20.

Timon had been violent. He had previous convictions for it. One

:06:21.:06:25.

example is when he threatened a bus driver with a golf club. Joy says

:06:26.:06:30.

she does accept the sentence but she would like to see a system likely

:06:31.:06:36.

industrially, that is really have this one punch killing law. The

:06:37.:06:42.

minimum eight year sentence for a one punch killing. Trevor Timon has

:06:43.:06:45.

received six years and five years an extended licence. He does pose is

:06:46.:06:54.

malignant risk to the public in the future. -- does pose a significant

:06:55.:06:55.

risk. Thank you very much. We hear a lot about

Donovan reports. Some plans take simply an age

was given to turn this office block in Lewisham

:08:51.:08:56.

into more than 200 flats. One developer sold on to another

:08:57.:09:01.

and the council says Across London we have

:09:02.:09:03.

lots of pockets of land. We have got developers

:09:04.:09:06.

and there is no financial incentive

:09:07.:09:08.

for them to get building. Something like a land tax might

:09:09.:09:11.

address some of these issues. You take away that

financial incentive. At the moment, the

:09:42.:09:43.

we would be cloe to that 50,000 homes a year figure

:09:44.:09:46.

which the mayor and others say But for many reasons,

:09:47.:09:49.

that remains a big ask. The high cost of living is causing

:09:50.:10:14.

in brain drain. The mayor says it is a worrying trend. Here is our

:10:15.:10:20.

education reporter. As spring struggles to life, it is that time

:10:21.:10:23.

of year where teachers start thinking about new beginnings. Many

:10:24.:10:29.

are in increasingly considering moving to a job outside of the

:10:30.:10:33.

capital. I would like to have a better quality of life and living in

:10:34.:10:38.

London, a large amount of my earnings is spent on housing and on

:10:39.:10:43.

all the other costs. Transport is not cheap. Into thousand and 16, 30%

:10:44.:10:50.

of all applications wherever posts outside of the capital. About half

:10:51.:10:55.

are schools in the Home Counties. That involves a pay cut. After five

:10:56.:11:03.

years in the job, a London-based salary is ?35,000. That is about 14%

:11:04.:11:09.

lower. Housing and living costs are 14% cheaper outside of London. The

:11:10.:11:14.

school in London has much more competition around it. Teachers are

:11:15.:11:17.

more likely to move schools in London. London is growing much

:11:18.:11:22.

faster. Schools need to get bigger quicker and there is more

:11:23.:11:25.

competition for jobs outside of teaching. Having said that, London

:11:26.:11:30.

attracts more teachers than it spits out. Lots of the people want to come

:11:31.:11:38.

here. It is a great place young teachers to come and work. The drain

:11:39.:11:40.

of experienced teachers away, something the mayor, munching his

:11:41.:11:45.

education conference today, viewers could undermine improvement in

:11:46.:11:48.

London schools. We have the most talented teachers coming to London.

:11:49.:11:54.

-- we want. As a consequence of funding decisions made by central

:11:55.:11:58.

Government, schools and funding bodies cannot recruit and retain the

:11:59.:12:02.

teachers. The Government is spending more than ?1 billion on recruitment

:12:03.:12:06.

this Parliament and Minister said there are more teachers in schools

:12:07.:12:10.

than ever before. Plenty of head teachers are struggling. We would

:12:11.:12:15.

have got 30 or 40 applications for a post now we're looking at five or

:12:16.:12:20.

eight. It is balancing the well-being against the need for the

:12:21.:12:24.

pupils. Trying to achieve a system that allows both to happen without

:12:25.:12:29.

that being a conflict. London mobiles have a unique attraction,

:12:30.:12:32.

but when the shine started to fade, it seems teachers are not afraid to

:12:33.:12:34.

up sticks and leave. We'll find out why two City

:12:35.:12:43.

of London policemen were tasked with quietly photographing London

:12:44.:12:49.

during World War Two. After the drama of storm Doris, blue

:12:50.:13:00.

skies. I will have the details later on in the show.

:13:01.:13:09.

15 people, believed to be from Iraq, have been found hiding

:13:10.:13:14.

inside pallets of fruit in the back of a lorry.

:13:15.:13:17.

Police say the people include a family of five,

:13:18.:13:19.

Essex Police have improved the way it protects children who are at

:13:20.:13:35.

risk. One year ago, serious failings were found in the force when it came

:13:36.:13:41.

to protecting vulnerable children. The force still needs to improve the

:13:42.:13:43.

way it deals with missing children. Families in London are demanding

:13:44.:14:00.

full refunds for what they're Last year one of the machines,

:14:01.:14:03.

made by Whirlpool caused a serious fire at a block

:14:04.:14:06.

of flats in Shepherd's Bush. This week, after pressure

:14:07.:14:09.

from Trading Standards, the company finally changed its advice

:14:10.:14:11.

and told people not Well, we're told there's a fault

:14:12.:14:13.

with the 'heating element'. When it comes into contact

:14:14.:14:21.

with clothing fluff it can cause But this isn't just 'Whirlpool'

:14:22.:14:24.

branded dryers we're talking about. The company also owns Hotpoint,

:14:25.:14:30.

Creda, 'Proline', 'Swan' and 'Indesit' dryers -

:14:31.:14:32.

so if you brought one of those machines between April

:14:33.:14:35.

2004 and October 2015, So what's changed

:14:36.:14:40.

in the last few days? Well, customers were told

:14:41.:14:44.

they were safe to use if cleaned after each cycle

:14:45.:14:46.

and as long as someone But now Whirlpool has

:14:47.:14:48.

said the dryers are not safe to use at all -

:14:49.:14:56.

and they all need to be 'unplugged' So where does that leave

:14:57.:14:59.

customers who don't This is all very confusing. We do

:15:00.:15:12.

consumers stand? The advice is now very clear.

:15:13.:15:14.

If you do have one of these models, switch it off and do not use it. Get

:15:15.:15:21.

in touch with whirlpool and demand a replacement. You have been demanding

:15:22.:15:25.

something to be done for a number of months. We have been campaigning for

:15:26.:15:30.

the advice to be changed from, as you describe, to supervise your

:15:31.:15:35.

machine, to unplug them. We could see so many cases of people owning

:15:36.:15:39.

these and then bursting into flames in their home. We spoke to Whirlpool

:15:40.:15:44.

today in America and they said the drivers are still low risk and

:15:45.:15:50.

fixing them is the best option. Do you agree? Actually, what we think,

:15:51.:15:54.

now that the advice is unplug and do not use them, what they are saying

:15:55.:15:58.

is that the art unfit for purpose. We think there should be a full

:15:59.:16:03.

recall of these machines. What they are saying is it is a gamble if you

:16:04.:16:08.

use them. It is a risk. A lot of people on Facebook who agree with

:16:09.:16:09.

you. One customer said it was like

:16:10.:16:10.

having a "fire hazard" in her home and another

:16:11.:16:14.

called for a refund, Somebody else got in touch with us

:16:15.:16:30.

and said... That is what you are saying. People are well within their

:16:31.:16:34.

rights to go back to the retailer from where they purchased their

:16:35.:16:39.

machines. As you said earlier, these machines have been around a while.

:16:40.:16:43.

You will not get that full refund. The best thing is to go back to

:16:44.:16:49.

Whirlpool and demand a replacement. Looking at this practically, there

:16:50.:16:52.

will be thousands of people watching this who have got one of these

:16:53.:16:56.

machines and thinking, the Whirlpool are saying it is low risk and it has

:16:57.:17:02.

been working OK up to now. Come Monday morning, let's just put this

:17:03.:17:06.

show it in the dryer or dress in the dryer. Too much risk? Is it worth a

:17:07.:17:12.

gamble? You have seen footage of the Shepherd's Bush fire where the flats

:17:13.:17:17.

went up in flames because the poor lady whose machine cot fire, she had

:17:18.:17:22.

no idea it was going to catch fire and at that point, Whirlpool were

:17:23.:17:33.

saying they were low risk. But the fact is they are dangerous and you

:17:34.:17:35.

cannot take that risk. Thank you for that advice and a lot of people are

:17:36.:17:39.

listening to that. I think we have a statement from Whirlpool. Whirlpool

:17:40.:17:50.

have said this evening that... They say the success depends on as many

:17:51.:17:56.

people as possible registering their machine and 1.5 million consumers

:17:57.:18:00.

have registered. Of these we have resolved more than 1.3 million

:18:01.:18:05.

cases. That is what Whirlpool have to say. Vicki, thank you very much

:18:06.:18:06.

for your time this evening. South west London has been a hotbed

:18:07.:18:15.

of sporting success over the last few months with Chelsea storming

:18:16.:18:19.

away at the top of the football Premier League -

:18:20.:18:21.

and Twickenham playing host to an England Rugby Union team

:18:22.:18:23.

that can't stop winning. This week both Head Coaches met

:18:24.:18:26.

up to swap the secrets Never short on passion,

:18:27.:18:28.

Italian Antonio Conte has Chelsea eight points clear at the top

:18:29.:18:32.

of the Premier League and in with a Australian Eddie Jones

:18:33.:18:36.

has led England to 16 wins in a row and a shot at a

:18:37.:18:39.

consecutive Six Nations grand slam. This week, they met up

:18:40.:18:55.

at England's Pennyhill Park training base to talk about all things sport

:18:56.:19:01.

and Is that anything you took

:19:02.:19:03.

from that meeting that you It was fantastic to stay with him

:19:04.:19:06.

and also to have a good conversation -

:19:07.:19:11.

to see the methods of the worker. Yes, I think it was

:19:12.:19:17.

a great experience. Jones sees qualities

:19:18.:19:24.

in Conte's Chelsea that he himself You can see when his team plays,

:19:25.:19:27.

they play hard, they run hard. Obviously, that comes

:19:28.:19:34.

from him and his desire... You know, there are not too many

:19:35.:19:38.

Premier League sides who want to come and

:19:39.:19:40.

look at rugby teams. Ah, but was there an ulterior

:19:41.:19:42.

motive for Conte? A fact-finding mission

:19:43.:19:52.

for England's next opponents? I know also on Sunday it will be

:19:53.:19:58.

the game against Italy, but I wasn't an Italian spy

:19:59.:20:01.

in this case. It is England versus

Italy on Sunday, Chelsea If all goes to plan, it should be

:20:23.:20:26.

as if we're sitting in the room Well, in King's Cross,

:20:27.:20:29.

rather a lot of money's been spent on taking quality sound

:20:30.:20:37.

to the next level - and Emma North has been

:20:38.:20:40.

listening-in to find out why. Has London lost its love for sound?

:20:41.:20:50.

We are surrounded by sand but there is so much... We have no ability to

differentiate between all the qualities and wonderful experiences

:20:59.:21:01.

you can have with engaging with different sounds. At spirit land at

:21:02.:21:09.

King's Cross we get a reminder, where the speakers and not the DJ

take the centre stage. The price tag's just shy of half ?1 million.

look at this. This shows when a World War II bomb narrowly misses St

Paul's Cathedral during the Second World War.

London during the Blitz - a newsreel showing

A new exhibition at the Museum of London shows a different

Alongside paintings from well-known war

artists are some unexpected contributors - two city policeman.

:23:38.:23:45.

They were recording the damage to the city, partially with an aim

:23:46.:23:49.

of recording it so they could think about reconstruction work

:23:50.:23:51.

It is not known if these images were ever used to help rebuild.

:23:52.:23:56.

The destruction was potentially too great.

NEWSREEL: London has been wounded during the hours of

darkness, but what colossal strength runs in her veins.

:24:02.:24:04.

Even today, many of the images we usually

:24:05.:24:06.

see of the Blitz were recorded as propaganda.

:24:07.:24:10.

But these pictures were never meant to be seen by the public -

a coat still hanging on the back of a door.

:24:14.:24:16.

They show a different side to the devastation, less

London did rebuild after the Blitz, often

:24:24.:24:29.

along the same street lines that existed before.

:24:30.:24:31.

What is so striking about these photographs is that they show

:24:32.:24:35.

a city that is so familiar, destroyed in a way that none of us

:24:36.:24:38.

You cannot help looking at images of bomb damaged cities without

:24:39.:24:45.

thinking about wider political events and that is

:24:46.:24:46.

This new exhibition shows a city destroyed by

:24:47.:24:52.

Fascinating images there. Now for a look at the weather forecast. Not so

:24:53.:25:10.

windy today. A lot more quiet. It was a pleasant relief from those

:25:11.:25:14.

awful winds we endured yesterday. Lovely sunshine. A tranquil scene

:25:15.:25:22.

here. Tomorrow, we lose the sunshine. A lot of cloud out there.

:25:23.:25:27.

Some dampness at times but dry spells as well. It is not all gloom

:25:28.:25:33.

and doom. Cloud Pelling in off the Atlantic. We had sunshine this at

the rain. A damp start to Saturday morning out there. Temperatures of

:25:51.:25:56.

around five or six Celsius. Not inspiring tomorrow morning with

:25:57.:25:59.

dampness in the era. The breeze as well. The winds are not too strong.

:26:00.:26:09.

Not a lot of brightness. If you see sunshine, you will be doing well

:26:10.:26:13.

indeed. Rain will be mild. Temperatures up into double figures.

:26:14.:26:19.

Factor in that rain, which will be a nuisance at times. That risk of rain

:26:20.:26:23.

continues into the evening. If you're heading out on Saturday

:26:24.:26:26.

night, take something waterproof. You might need it at some stage.

:26:27.:26:31.

Further into the weekend, I am more optimistic for Sunday in terms of

:26:32.:26:35.

sunshine. Although we have another set of fronts coming in, they are

:26:36.:26:38.

targeting more north-western parts of the UK. The east will stay away

:26:39.:26:44.

from those fronts. If you are choosing between Saturday and Sunday

:26:45.:26:48.

for a day out, Sunday is better with more chance of sunshine. Most of the

:26:49.:26:52.

rain will stay away until the end of the day. Looking further ahead, some

:26:53.:26:57.

showers and sunshine. Feeling cool as well. Thank you very much for

that, John. Let's take a look at the stories making the headlines

tonight. The Conservative Party has won

an historic by-election victory in Copeland -

it's the first time a party in Government has taken a seat

in a by-election for 35 years. Theresa May said her party had
