Good evening and welcome to BBC London News.

:00:11.:00:12.

Friends and family of the murdered teenager Quamari Barnes have made

:00:13.:00:17.

an emotional appeal today for parents across London to take

:00:18.:00:20.

action - to try to stop any more young lives being lost.

:00:21.:00:24.

They'd gathered outside the 15-year-old's

:00:25.:00:26.

school in Kensal Rise - where he was stabbed on Monday.

:00:27.:00:29.

Laying flowers, lighting candles, and with balloons, they came

:00:30.:00:36.

The 15-year-old schoolboy fatally stabbed as he made his way home

:00:37.:00:42.

Hundreds attended the memorial held in Kensal Green outside

:00:43.:00:47.

They paid tribute to a much loved son, grandson, friend and cousin.

:00:48.:00:55.

He touched a lot of people, all different age groups.

:00:56.:01:02.

He was a good boy and he was humble and he loved

:01:03.:01:05.

It's just so sad for anybody to lose their child like that.

:01:06.:01:12.

You send your children to school and you expect them to come home.

:01:13.:01:15.

But you don't expect them to be coming home in a body bag.

:01:16.:01:19.

The mood was one of sadness and disbelief.

:01:20.:01:22.

However, there was also a positive message, a call for action,

:01:23.:01:25.

for a more united community and for an end to

:01:26.:01:28.

Community's missing, that's what I find.

:01:29.:01:33.

And we need to build back our community again,

:01:34.:01:35.

We've got to do our part as parents, as community leaders,

:01:36.:01:40.

Hands up, who is going to make the change?

:01:41.:01:52.

A change Quamari Barnes's family hope will become his legacy.

:01:53.:01:57.

A man is being hunted by police after a number of young women -

:01:58.:02:04.

including a 13 year-old girl - reported they'd been

:02:05.:02:07.

sexually assaulted on buses in south-east London.

:02:08.:02:09.

The six attacks happened in Lewisham and Southwark -

:02:10.:02:12.

Police say there could be more victims yet to to come forward.

:02:13.:02:18.

A statue of Princess Diana will be built in central London

:02:19.:02:21.

by her sons Prince Harry and the Duke of Cambridge.

:02:22.:02:23.

It will stand in the public gardens of Kensington Palace -

:02:24.:02:26.

And where people left thousands of tributes when she died in 1997.

:02:27.:02:32.

The Princes said - 20 years after her death -

:02:33.:02:34.

the time was right to recognise their mother's positive

:02:35.:02:36.

People living under City Airport's flightpath -

:02:37.:02:44.

in south and east London - say new air traffic control

:02:45.:02:46.

technology is making their lives a misery.

:02:47.:02:48.

The airport says it was required by law to introduce

:02:49.:02:51.

the new navigation system - and that it's aimed at reducing

:02:52.:02:53.

the amount of time planes are flying above residents' homes.

:02:54.:02:57.

But those living beneath the flight path say the noise

:02:58.:03:00.

At a distance of 16 miles from Heathrow, aircraft noise

:03:01.:03:07.

dominates the local environment, registering over 60 decibels.

:03:08.:03:11.

This video made by campaigners shows just how noisy living under

:03:12.:03:15.

Last year, London City Airport introduced new air traffic

:03:16.:03:21.

It forced aircraft to follow concentrated routes in order to burn

:03:22.:03:26.

less fuel while flying over the capital.

:03:27.:03:28.

But, in trying to reduce carbon emissions, noise pollution over

:03:29.:03:32.

parts of south and east London intensified.

:03:33.:03:37.

The airport have made these changes because concentrated flight paths,

:03:38.:03:40.

they argue, possibly correctly, do enable them to fly planes more

:03:41.:03:44.

Now, we're not against that, but we do say that residents'

:03:45.:03:49.

concerns have to be taken into consideration as well.

:03:50.:03:53.

One area affected by the increase was Leytonstone.

:03:54.:03:55.

Author Saci Lloyd has lived in the area for over 12 years.

:03:56.:03:59.

So, we're on the edge of Epping Forest.

:04:00.:04:01.

And the sound is very, very noticeable.

:04:02.:04:05.

On some days, there's an aircraft flying over every 50 seconds.

:04:06.:04:11.

I have friends installing triple glazing.

:04:12.:04:14.

I know quite a number of people are considering moving out of the area.

:04:15.:04:19.

Well, City Airport has said that its aircraft now use a more

:04:20.:04:22.

accurate form of navigation, and a new arrival system should mean

:04:23.:04:27.

that claims spend less time flying over residential areas such as this.

:04:28.:04:33.

The Civil Aviation Authority says it will carry out a review assessing

:04:34.:04:36.

whether the impact and benefits of the airspace change

:04:37.:04:39.

And, with a further expansion of the airport planned

:04:40.:04:45.

and thousands more flights, just how and where they will

:04:46.:04:48.

fly is likely to be in many residents' minds.

:04:49.:04:52.

Let's get the weather now, here's Wendy Hurrell.

:04:53.:04:59.

It ended up a somewhat soggy Sunday, in stark contrast to first

:05:00.:05:04.

This is the mill pond that's known as the River Thames reflecting

:05:05.:05:08.

the clear skies at Rotherhithe, but there will be mostly cloudy

:05:09.:05:11.

skies reflected as we go through the west of the week,

:05:12.:05:14.

We still have to clear some of this heavy and persistent rain,

:05:15.:05:18.

but it will shift out to the east as we go through the night,

:05:19.:05:22.

leaving behind a fair amount of misty, murky low cloud,

:05:23.:05:24.

but that will keep the temperature up too, between 5 and 7 degrees.

:05:25.:05:27.

There won't be much that shifts that cloud throughout the afternoon.

:05:28.:05:30.

It really will be quite a grey day, with some drizzle

:05:31.:05:32.

We should get into double figures tomorrow,

:05:33.:05:38.

and indeed, for much of this week, but under a lot of cloudy skies,

:05:39.:05:41.

with spells of rain from time to time.

:05:42.:05:45.

We'll be back later though at 1020pm.

:05:46.:05:52.

Till then - have a very good evening.

:05:53.:05:54.

There was some sunny and cheerful weather across the UK today.

:05:55.:06:16.

Scotland and the far north of England, but
