Here on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
They say she was their rock - the heart of their family. | :00:12. | :00:29. | |
The children of 80-year-old Lea Adri-Soejoko | :00:30. | :00:30. | |
who was found strangled at allotments in | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
north-west London - have paid tribute to their mother. | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
Today a man has appeared in court charged with murder. | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
Her son and daughter have appealed to the public for more information - | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
and have been speaking to our home affairs | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
We have had the heart ripped out of our family. | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
We can hardly process what has happened. | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
The private grief of a son and a daughter laid bare. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
Today outside the allotment where their mother was found | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
Nothing was a drama, she was very calm, funny. | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
We're just appealing for anyone who might have seen anything. | :01:04. | :01:19. | |
Lea Adri-Soejoko's body was discovered last week in a shed | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
at the community gardens where she was a secretary. | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
She was 80 but acting like she was 30 and younger. | :01:28. | :01:40. | |
Having almost like another teenager time, she just | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
loved her life, she was going out, starting to dress more trendily. | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
She was just loving her life and that has been taken from her. | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
These are the tribute at her home a short distance away. | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
His death has touched friends as well as family. | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
The whole world is falling apart around me and my family. | :01:59. | :02:10. | |
Here in Colindale a grieving family has been appealing to the public | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
Meanwhile in Wimbledon, a 40-year-old man, Rahim Mohammadi, | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
has appeared in court charged with the pensioner's murder. | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
The police will not be drawn on a motive, but say they need more | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
help from the public including any information about the | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
Did anyone find them in and around the area? | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
That's three keys with a Morrisons key fob on them. | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
For local drivers and residents, did you see Lea on Monday? | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
She's very distinctive, platinum hair, as family describe | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
it, distinctive boots, black with white spots, pink piping, | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
Did you see her at the allotments or at her home address? | :02:47. | :02:59. | |
And neighbours, did you see anyone calling at her address on Monday? | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
We need to have as much information as possible so we can get | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
Nick Beake, BBC London News, Colindale. | :03:05. | :03:14. | |
The BBC has discovered that pollution levels around one | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
of the busiest sections of road in the country have been excluded | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
from official government data - despite regularly exceeding | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
All this week in our series Toxic London - | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
we'll be looking at the issue of air quality. | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
Tonight Sarah Smith reports from the Dartford Crossing on why up | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
until two years ago levels of pollutions there | :03:30. | :03:30. | |
50 million journeys are made on this stretch of road every year. | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
The towns closest, Dartford to the south | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
and Thurrock to the north have some of the highest percentages of death | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
due to air pollution in the south-east. | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
In Dartford the council's recorded nitrogen dioxide | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
levels above safe limits for years and when the town didn't appear in | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
the national air quality plan they were puzzled. | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
We discovered that the tunnel approach road was classed as a rural | :03:57. | :04:06. | |
road, and therefore the air monitoring figures that they had and | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
that they were using for their modelling purposes was incorrect. | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
It's meant that for years, national data | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
this incredibly busy stretch of road. | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
Whoever decided that there's no pollution around here, we doesn't | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
Whoever decided that there's no pollution around here, doesn't | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
I've got two small children and regularly | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
if you live here you will notice several times a day, or several | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
times a week, there is just bumper-to-bumper traffic. | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
The crossing and its approach roads aren't | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
classed as part of the motorway but as the A282 and A roads can | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
count as rural if they're outside urban areas. | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
But that's clearly not the case here. | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
Jim Sutton, who lives near the crossing, | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
believes it exacerbated the respiratory problems which afflicted | :04:54. | :04:54. | |
The air pollution round here certainly didn't help her. | :04:55. | :05:03. | |
She used to say, "I wish we could move, Jim." | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
Scientists from King's College have carried out their own monitoring. | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
The European legal limit was broken on three days. | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
That was primarily because the pollution | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
which the road is producing every day with the traffic | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
with pollution that was coming over from the continent. | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
The Department for the Environment says the | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
Department for Transport made the classification. | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
The Department for Transport says it was the Department | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
Either way it's finally been reclassified as urban. | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
This news comes on the day that the head of the World Health | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
Organisation described air pollution as one of the most pernicious | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
It's linked to the death of hundreds of thousands of children every year. | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
Sarah Smith, BBC London News, the Dartford Crossing. | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
And continuing our series - tomorrow we'll have rare access | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
inside the capital's specialist children's asthma clinic. | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
If you're interested in what changes you can make - | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
An unexploded World War Two bomb which was discovered on a building | :06:09. | :06:19. | |
site in north-west London last week has been detonated in Essex. | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
Experts from the Royal Navy and British Army safely disposed | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
of the 500lb device at a military base in Southend. | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
As part of the Government's drive to train up more | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
apprentices by 2020 - from next month companies | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
with a payroll of ?3 million or more will be forced | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
to invest thousands in training school leavers or lose the money. | :06:41. | :06:52. | |
But are businesses aware of the new levy? | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
Marc Ashdown reports from the National | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
Negotiating a route into work is a tricky business. | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
The Army is one of 70 exhibitors here trying | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
Apprenticeships are increasingly seen as a way into all | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
While many of her friends are off to university, Zena is training | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
Sometimes when people go to university they're still trying | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
But, not only that, they're in a huge amount of debt. | :07:18. | :07:25. | |
15,000 students are expected to attend this event. | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
It's a shop window to show how varied and important | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
Historically, people thought that an apprenticeship was for people | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
who aren't academically bright or do not have a choice | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
An apprenticeship really is open to anybody. | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
It is crucial, it is absolutely crucial that we have a workforce | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
that is better educated, better trained, better | :07:44. | :07:44. | |
To that end, new legislation from April means any firm | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
with a payroll of ?3 million or more will have to commit 0.5% | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
of its budget to training apprentices, or lose the money. | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
But a recent survey by City and Guilds found more than a third | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
of London businesses aren't even aware of the new levy. | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
Nine years ago I joined as an apprentice and I started my | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
career and since then I've stayed with the company. | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
And someone tells me you are employee of the year? | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
Yes, I won an award, employee of the year | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
Even those who have struggled academically, | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
He's now thinking of signing up as a tank engineer. | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
It's actually very nice to come up and have a surprise, like, "Oh, | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
your three GCSEs can get you quite far in life even if everyone else | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
That is probably a very reassuring thing to me. | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
For many students and parents it's a first conversation | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
Rather than his brothers who have both done degrees, | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
he is more interested to go and not have the debt. | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
You just jump straight through to a career and you get | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
to learn skills needed for the apprenticeship you're doing. | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
More and more young people then are realising the benefits | :09:07. | :09:15. | |
That's it from me, but I'll leave you now with Wendy Hurrell | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
The Weather for the Week Ahead is very mild, that's the first thing | :09:21. | :09:31. | |
you will notice, particularly midweek onwards. We will encounter a | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
few spells of rain and it will be windy at times so not like the day | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
we had today which was practically perfect, bits of blue sky, | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
blossoming underneath them, that's because we got lucky, there were | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
showers around down the eastern side of the country and a few traipsing | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
in from the west as well, we were in the nice sunny slot, the puffy | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
cumulus clouds to enjoy throughout the day. It's conceivable one or two | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
showers will creep across London and the Home Counties in the early hours | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
of the morning but mostly it is dry with clear sky, particularly parts | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
of Surrey and Buckinghamshire, temperatures may be low enough for a | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
touch of frost locally and it may be a chilly start under clear skies | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
first thing tomorrow morning but we will get brightness and sunshine and | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
it will turn more hazy as the day goes on and cloud over completely | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
eventually. Before that happens temperatures should get into double | :10:26. | :10:33. | |
figures and behind me here is the rain that comes through on Tuesday | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
night. It eventually clears through the leaves behind a lot of cloud. | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
From Wednesday onwards rather grey skies but rather mild conditions, 13 | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
or 14 degrees, often breezy but the winds are south-westerly so the mild | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
weather comes from that direction and it gets a bit upset at the | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
weekend. A low pressure system moves in and that turns the wind to a more | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
northerly quarter so the outlook for the weekend is something rather | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
cool, it will be windy at times as well and still rather unsettled with | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
some blustery showers around. That's the London forecast and now for the | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
National forecast, over to Nick Miller. | :11:10. | :11:17. | |
North-west France and Plymouth were miles apart weather-wise. This | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
southern flank in north-west France there was a wind gusts of 120 mph | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
which we just dodged. That area of low pressure continues to move | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
quickly south-eastwards so that by tomorrow it is in Italy on its | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
southern flank, stormy in Sardinia and around it strong winds blowing | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
through south-east France. We've got a little bump in the ice bars with | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
lighter winds, a brief | :11:45. | :11:45. |
