Good evening. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:17 | |
I'm Alice Bhandhukravi. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:18 | |
A Dutch woman who lives in Surrey says it's ridiculous | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
that the Home Office has told her she must leave the UK. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
Monique Hawkins applied for British citizenship | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
after the EU referendum, but was refused. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:26 | |
She says the error is a serious concern, as she, like many | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
Europeans living here, feels uncertain about the future. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
Tolu Adeoye reports. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:39 | |
Monique Hawkins left the Netherlands to live in the UK 24 years ago. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
Since then, she's married a British man, Robert, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
and they have two daughters. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
This is her home and she was content with her rights as an EU citizen | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
living here until Britain voted to leave the EU. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
I decided to apply for permanent residence because I felt I needed | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
some proof that I was allowed to live here, amid the uncertainty | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
following the vote. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
But she says she was met by a wall of bureaucracy. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
Her application ended up being rejected on a technicality. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
The letter actually said that I had to make arrangements to leave | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
the country but if I could produce the right documents, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
I was free to apply again. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
I'm a British citizen. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
I've married someone from outside the country. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
I had an expectation that process would be straightforward | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
and I've been surprised how complicated it is. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
The Home Office says the rights of EU nationals are unchanged | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
while Britain is a member of the European Union, | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
but it says the onus is on those seeking permanent residency | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
to provide as much evidence as possible in support | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
of their application. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
A group which seeks to preserve the rights of EU citizens in the UK | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
says these are worrying times for many people. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
We have a situation where we need to secure the future | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
of these 3 million people as soon as possible. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
We need to make the bureaucracy work for them as well. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
That's just a sad example that it's just not working. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:05 | |
Monique is hopeful her second application will be successful, | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
but for many EU nationals, there is a question mark | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
Over their future and they will be watching how Brexit negotiations | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
develop closely in 2017. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:22 | |
A vigil has been held on an Essex beach tonight for two teenagers | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
who died after the car they were in crashed while it was | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
being followed by police. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
They've been named locally as Reigan Knight and Liam Phillips. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
Jenny Kirk reports. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
Paper lanterns filling the sky above Bell Wharf, | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
marking the short lives of two teenagers who died in | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
the most tragic of ways. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
I feel devastated. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:48 | |
One of my close mates is not here any more. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
I can't speak to him but I just want to give him | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
this lovely send-off, so he knows up there that we are | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
looking out for him still. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:01 | |
For half an hour, friends and family ignited dozens of lanterns, | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
some with poems on them. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
Balloons, too, bearing messages of love and loss. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
Both boys were passengers in a Ford Escort in the early | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
hours of Tuesday morning. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
About 500 metres away from tonight's vigil their car hit another car | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
before crashing into a wall. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
Two other teenage boys were arrested at the scene and one has been | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
charged with causing death by dangerous driving. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:30 | |
The police were following the car at the time so the case | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
has been referred to the Independent Police | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
Complaints Commission. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:39 | |
Tonight at Bell Wharf, fireworks and a growing | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
shrine to two young lives, those they have left behind trying | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
to find ways to cope. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:51 | |
They will be remembered at Southend United's match | 0:03:51 | 0:03:52 | |
on Saturday as well. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:53 | |
The club is asking supporters to clap during the 17th minute | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
for the two 17-year-olds. | 0:03:56 | 0:04:02 | |
The Government is facing pressure to hand over responsibility | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
for suburban rail services to Transport for London, | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
after a new poll showed commuters support the proposal. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:12 | |
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling was accused of "putting politics | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
ahead of passengers" when he opposed the idea. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
The Mayor's Office argue it would provide a better service. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
Nicola Ford has the details. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
2016 has not been easy for commuters on the railways. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
It seems not a month has gone by without strikes, | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
delays and cancellations. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:25 | |
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, wants TfL to take control | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
of suburban rail services from 2018. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
The plan was agreed by the then mayor Boris Johnson | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
and the Government, but earlier this month the Transport Secretary, | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
Chris Grayling, rejected the idea, saying it would be unfair | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
to transport passengers outside the capital. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
We are asking the Government to independently review the business | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
case and let's see the Department for Transport's analysis. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
We fear that the opportunity for improving the rail services | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
for hundreds of thousands of Londoners is | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
slipping away rapidly. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:57 | |
1000 people were asked if they thought that Transport | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
for London should have more or less control than they currently do over | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
suburban rail lines in London. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
58% agreed TfL should have more control. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
Just 14% of those surveyed backed the Transport Secretary's decision, | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
and more than half think Mr Grayling made the wrong decision. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:17 | |
I think take them over. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:18 | |
Can't get any worse. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
Anything that will work. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:21 | |
It has to be better than the state it is in at the moment. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:26 | |
The Department for Transport says the mayor's business plan | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
for the south-eastern train routes provided no extra capacity | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
at peak hours, and there was no funding identified | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
for improvement infrastructure. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
These would come at a cost to Londoners. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:43 | |
Let's have a look at the weather now with Jay Wynne. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
Good evening. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:46 | |
Fog could be a bit of a problem overnight tonight. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
It will be patchy but quite dense in places so bear that in mind. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
By the end of the night, it is pretty cold out there. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
Frosty again, with temperatures either side of freezing. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:56 | |
Frosty again, with temperatures either side of freezing. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:57 | |
A grey and cold start to Friday and bear in mind the patchy fog | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
through the morning because it could be dense. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:02 | |
It will lift into low cloud, much more than today, | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
and it will be a chilly afternoon with 7 degrees at the best. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:15 | |
That's it from me. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
We'll be back tomorrow morning. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:18 | |
Have a very good night. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:24 |
