:00:02. > :00:07.the confidence of Londoners? Inside Out has carried out its own poll to

:00:07. > :00:13.discover if Londoners' faith in the police has been dented and also to

:00:13. > :00:21.find out how we would like to see riots policed in the future.

:00:21. > :00:24.Paraic O'Brien reports. This was the first experience I've

:00:24. > :00:28.had where I felt there was a sense of malice towards the police. I

:00:28. > :00:35.didn't know whether I was going home or going to the hospital at

:00:35. > :00:41.the end of it. You ring the police and fire brigade expecting some

:00:41. > :00:44.sort of are response and nothing happens. You feel totally exposed

:00:44. > :00:47.and vulnerable. How would you describe how they managed the riots

:00:47. > :00:52.here? There was no management during the riots. It was more or

:00:52. > :00:57.less, let them do what they want. The August riots stretched the

:00:57. > :01:00.Metropolitan Police to near breaking point.

:01:00. > :01:05.Across the capital, almost every available officer was deployed to

:01:05. > :01:09.deal with it. The Met faced accusations they

:01:09. > :01:14.weren't doing their job properly. They seem ineffectual. They have

:01:14. > :01:17.been warning me to get out of the way, while I was doing nothing,

:01:17. > :01:25.while people are burning the place to the ground. Almost as soon as

:01:25. > :01:32.the chaos ended, the Met launched an internal review. What about

:01:32. > :01:39.Londoners? Do they think the Met did a good job? Would they trust

:01:39. > :01:43.them to protect them against future riots? We surveyed Londons over 16

:01:43. > :01:53.in late September. We asked whether they think the Met do a good or

:01:53. > :01:57.

:01:57. > :02:02.For some, whose homes and businesses were caught newspaper

:02:02. > :02:07.the riots, faith in the police has been all -- caught up in the riots,

:02:07. > :02:13.faith in the police has been all but destroyed. Some residential

:02:13. > :02:18.streets were left exposed. We have cars exploding. A car parked across

:02:18. > :02:23.the road, a BMW, set ablaze. When and how did it dawn on you the

:02:23. > :02:30.police weren't going to show? about an hour-and-a-half after I

:02:30. > :02:34.phoneded them and several of my neighbours had. Three Transit Vans

:02:35. > :02:38.of them made a line across the street over there. The rioters sort

:02:38. > :02:45.of came up here to meet them. They were hurling great rocks and bricks

:02:45. > :02:50.at them. I heard a police tpwie say, "Back in the -- guy say, Back in

:02:50. > :02:56.the van." And they drove away. their own safety? Well, there in

:02:56. > :03:00.lies the question. I don't know! The Met's internal review will not

:03:00. > :03:05.just discover whether mistakes were made in August. It could completely

:03:05. > :03:08.transform the way riots are controlled. Lynne Owens takes the

:03:08. > :03:11.lead on public order policing at the Met. We need to understand

:03:12. > :03:15.whether we should have had more people available to us. That is

:03:15. > :03:18.part of our review process. On the night itself, from the very early

:03:18. > :03:25.stages, we were calling more officers from across London. Very

:03:25. > :03:32.quickly managed to get more there. Unfortunately not quickly enough.

:03:32. > :03:36.One of those riot-trained officers was PC Paul Warner. Drafted in from

:03:36. > :03:44.South London to help in Tottenham on the first night. How many

:03:44. > :03:48.officers were on the street before you arrived? 12. 12 officers?

:03:48. > :03:54.Correct. They were taking the full force of several hundred angry

:03:54. > :03:59.people who were trying to do them harm.

:03:59. > :04:02.The first thing which hit me was a sensory overload. You had these

:04:02. > :04:08.figures silhouetted against the flames of the fires they had

:04:08. > :04:17.started. You had the smell of the petrol and the buildings on fire

:04:17. > :04:22.and this mass of chanting and shouting. Were you afraid? Yes.

:04:22. > :04:27.No shame to admit that. It was unlike anything I had seen before.

:04:27. > :04:33.The first large item that hit my riot shield split it in two. So, I

:04:33. > :04:41.was left with half a shield for most of the night. Why did you not

:04:41. > :04:44.get enough officers out there in time? The fundamental question is:

:04:44. > :04:49.Does officers to respond to that type? It is one of the things we

:04:49. > :04:53.are looking at. If you ask me for my instinctive reaction, based on

:04:53. > :04:57.events, I would say, I think we should have more. Ass the riots

:04:57. > :05:01.escalated the Met did increase the number of officers on the ground.

:05:01. > :05:06.Some residents decided they still could not rely on the police, so

:05:06. > :05:11.took things into their own hands. Towns folk on the move in even

:05:11. > :05:15.field, followed by the police. We're here to help the police. We

:05:15. > :05:20.do believe, don't we, there ripbt enough of them. In Southall the

:05:20. > :05:25.Sikh community turned out in force to protect the temple and the

:05:25. > :05:29.surrounding neighbourhood. It was to protect the temple, we were

:05:29. > :05:34.protecting the neighbourhood, so no attack should take place in

:05:34. > :05:38.Southall. Police were stretched so much. They didn't have the

:05:38. > :05:45.resources, the man power. We said if anything happens we will inform

:05:45. > :05:49.you and after that we will leave it to you. Leave it to you to make the

:05:49. > :05:53.arrests. The people protecting the Southall Temple never turned to

:05:53. > :05:57.violence. Our opinion poll found two-thirds of Londoners think local

:05:57. > :06:01.people should be allowed to use violence to protect their

:06:01. > :06:05.communities and property in any future riots. We should be clear,

:06:05. > :06:08.there is often much said about the law in this area. Anybody can use

:06:08. > :06:12.reasonable force to protect themselves or to prevent a crime.

:06:12. > :06:21.What we would say, going forward, is actually we would like to

:06:21. > :06:26.encourage people to come forward and join us in a voluntary mood. --

:06:26. > :06:31.mode. We have special constableers. People who view CCTV for us.

:06:31. > :06:39.Met received over 600 applications from Londoners wanting to become

:06:39. > :06:42.special constables. That is almost three times the average. One of the

:06:42. > :06:45.strongest criticisms levelled against the Met is they didn't use

:06:45. > :06:51.the toughest tactics available to them.

:06:51. > :06:56.The police are already authorised to use baton rounds. We agreed at

:06:56. > :07:00.COBRA, while they are not currently needed, we have put in place

:07:00. > :07:05.contingency plan for water cannon to be available. This would have

:07:05. > :07:09.been the first time that water cannon or rubber bullets have ever

:07:09. > :07:13.been used on the British mainland. We did have baton rounds available

:07:13. > :07:17.on that night. I fully support the Gold Commander's decision, which

:07:17. > :07:23.was not to deploy them. All I would say is had we shot a 14-year-old in

:07:23. > :07:27.the back when he was running away, I think we would have having

:07:27. > :07:32.different conversation now. Londoners broadly agree with the

:07:32. > :07:38.decision not to use rubber bullets. Only 38% of people were in favour

:07:38. > :07:43.of using them in future riots. There was wide support for water

:07:43. > :07:46.cannon. 72% agreed with their yuz in future riots. We don't actually

:07:46. > :07:51.have a water cannon on the mainland in this country. If you had had one,

:07:51. > :07:54.would you have used it? On that Saturday night, I do think there is

:07:54. > :07:59.a good likelihood that may have been something we would have chosen

:07:59. > :08:02.to use. What I would say is that water cannon is an indiscriminate

:08:02. > :08:09.use of force. Anybody on the street at that time would have been

:08:09. > :08:12.affected. Young, old, in-- infirm. That is something we ought to get

:08:12. > :08:17.into public debate about before we make that decision. It is clear

:08:17. > :08:20.from our opinion poll that Londoners support some degree of

:08:20. > :08:23.greater force. Will this review change anything? If history

:08:23. > :08:29.repeated itself, would the Met be in a position to do anything

:08:29. > :08:34.differently next time? This isn't talks about talks, sure

:08:34. > :08:38.it's not. Would there be a different model once this review is

:08:38. > :08:41.finished? I think things will look different. All I can do is give

:08:41. > :08:48.Londoners our reassurance we take it seriously and we are fit for

:08:48. > :08:53.purpose should anything as dreadful as this happen again.

:08:53. > :08:57.Now then, still to come on tonight's show: National Citizen

:08:57. > :09:01.Service. We have only known each other less than 24 hours. Yet we

:09:01. > :09:09.are starting to form like a family. We ask, should all youngsters be

:09:09. > :09:17.made to sign up? Shocking images of shops being

:09:17. > :09:21.ransacked, or raised to -- razed to the ground will always be

:09:21. > :09:30.associated with the riots. We have followed several business owners

:09:30. > :09:37.who have struggled to rebuild their lives and livelihoods.

:09:37. > :09:42.The view of London, reminisce sent of the Blitz, 70 years ago, as

:09:42. > :09:47.blazes raged. I was getting phone calls saying looters were in there,

:09:47. > :09:52.everyone was running around with masks on and The shop's on fire."

:09:52. > :10:02.went up to the line of the riot police and like, How do I get

:10:02. > :10:04.

:10:04. > :10:08.through?" he went, "No-one's going anywhere." It It was so hurtful. I

:10:09. > :10:13.put east special on your anniversary and I put on the

:10:13. > :10:17.television and said, "That's my shop." Among them were three

:10:17. > :10:22.different businesses. The first was the party store in Clapham,

:10:22. > :10:25.established for 25 years as a costume hire and joke shop and much

:10:25. > :10:29.loved locally. The staff were completely devastated. They were

:10:29. > :10:36.standing, most of the next two days standing outside in tears, looking

:10:36. > :10:42.at the shop. I know it would be bad. I didn't, I just don't know, I

:10:42. > :10:48.didn't expect it to be as bad as it was. In enfeeld the Sony warehouse

:10:48. > :10:52.had been -- in Enfield, the Sony warehouse has been burgled and

:10:52. > :10:58.burned. Important labels go. Everything up and coming. That is

:10:58. > :11:03.important for bands on tour. We don't have CDs to give to them.

:11:03. > :11:10.Croydon, a massive fire had destroyed Reeves Furniture, the

:11:10. > :11:17.150-year-old iconic building, now near rubble. I don't even think

:11:17. > :11:23.William Shakespeare could express the feelings I have. For the

:11:23. > :11:27.generation of my father, grandfather, gone in one second.

:11:27. > :11:34.We're a fighting family and we will move on.

:11:34. > :11:38.The road is all cordoned off. There's rubble everywhere. The

:11:38. > :11:42.buildings opposite are charred and burned. There are burnt cars

:11:43. > :11:47.everywhere. Part of Reeves Furniture, across the road from the

:11:47. > :11:52.devastated building survived in tact. Locals started to show their

:11:52. > :11:56.support by buying beds. In Clapham Junction, when Duncan

:11:56. > :12:01.was able to inspect his ruined party shop, he immediately resolved

:12:01. > :12:05.to rebuild it. There was just so much at stake. Everyone's jobs and

:12:05. > :12:08.future depends on this and therefore, you know, we have to

:12:08. > :12:12.sort of be positive and work towards getting the business back

:12:12. > :12:15.on its feet. It will then be a livelihood for all of us. Several

:12:15. > :12:19.miles away n the warehouse, they were organising what was left of

:12:19. > :12:29.their stock. They would have to work quickly to

:12:29. > :12:31.

:12:31. > :12:41.I may go to Clapham and speak to businesses to see if they will

:12:41. > :12:45.

:12:45. > :12:48.allow our customers to use them as a drop-off point for customers.

:12:48. > :12:51.Merida's first break since the fire was an offer of help from a rival

:12:51. > :12:54.distributor, Proper, who agreed to deliver the CDs from her label into

:12:54. > :13:04.the shops. Being able to do something tangible is nice, so we

:13:04. > :13:12.

:13:12. > :13:19.have been busy! And have heard of them, there is excitement

:13:19. > :13:23.downstairs. One of Stolen Recording's bands, Bo

:13:23. > :13:28.Nin-Gen, was warming up for their final festival of the season.

:13:28. > :13:32.Having lost all their recordings and the fire, Lady -- Angus

:13:32. > :13:40.Robertson and Rachel had worked round the clock to provide them

:13:40. > :13:49.with new records for their tour. For it has been disruptive, working

:13:49. > :13:52.weekends and evenings to catch up. We -- We've repressed what was

:13:52. > :13:55.essential. Pete and the Pirates, like the up-and-coming releases. It

:13:55. > :13:58.was like an emergency pressing, so we just sort of jumped in with both

:13:58. > :14:02.feet, really. We couldn't hold anything up, it was like the stock

:14:02. > :14:04.needed to be in the shops. With his shop gutted and business at a

:14:04. > :14:09.standstill, Duncan is presented with an opportunity of setting up

:14:09. > :14:13.just around the corner. John, who owned Dub Vendor, which is the shop

:14:13. > :14:16.over there, came up to me and told me had been contemplating leaving

:14:16. > :14:23.The Junction for some time and asked if I'd be interested in

:14:23. > :14:27.taking over his shop. Just three weeks after the riots,

:14:27. > :14:33.Duncan starts fitting out his new shop. His main worry now is finding

:14:33. > :14:36.the money to pay his staff next month's wages. With more than ten

:14:36. > :14:45.employees, he doesn't qualify for the Mayor's riot fund. Initially,

:14:45. > :14:52.the insurance were very helpful. They offered us an interim. That

:14:52. > :14:58.was �100,000. That went within a few weeks, and then I felt like

:14:58. > :15:06.Oliver Twist saying, can I have some more money, please? We ran out

:15:06. > :15:08.of money last week and it has been a struggle to get some more. There

:15:09. > :15:12.is hope. All we can do is see what comes through.

:15:12. > :15:19.As well as keeping the staff going, Duncan had an even bigger project

:15:19. > :15:22.weighing on his mind. He runs Streetkids Rescue for impoverished

:15:22. > :15:27.children in South East Asia, and he was determined the pre-planned

:15:27. > :15:32.fundraiser would go ahead. We got the kids involved in

:15:32. > :15:37.apprenticeships and what training schemes. At think it is what

:15:37. > :15:42.everybody should aspire to be. -- I think. Your original poll of the

:15:42. > :15:48.community. He shop was burnt down, he runs a charity for St Kitts and

:15:48. > :15:51.always has a smile on his face and is incredibly positive. -- for kids.

:15:51. > :15:54.At Reeves, trade has been brisk and despite having lost their main

:15:54. > :15:59.store, they are confident they can continue trading until the

:15:59. > :16:02.insurance eventually pays out. In myriad of things going on the

:16:03. > :16:06.same time and you have to prioritise what do you think is the

:16:06. > :16:09.best. Also waiting for the insurance to pay out, Merida had

:16:09. > :16:19.applied for a loan from the music industry's fighting fund to help

:16:19. > :16:20.

:16:20. > :16:26.small record labels. Grey, that is such good news, we definitely need

:16:26. > :16:30.It looks like the loan agreement's all in place. The paperwork is all

:16:30. > :16:33.done. Six week since the riots, and

:16:33. > :16:43.Merida and Rachael crowned their fightback with a gig at the Scala

:16:43. > :16:47.

:16:47. > :16:55.from Pete and the Pirates. They are live, sold-out! What could

:16:55. > :17:03.be a better end to the disaster? It is a real relief.

:17:03. > :17:06.Meanwhile, Croydon Council are in talks with the Reeve's family.

:17:06. > :17:09.And Duncan and Rixy moved into the party store in time for the run up

:17:09. > :17:19.to Hallowe'en, with an extra floor across the road in Debenhams. They

:17:19. > :17:22.

:17:22. > :17:27.were back in business. -- it is exciting, it has been a roller-

:17:27. > :17:34.coaster, glad we put it together. Good to see the Blitz spirit

:17:34. > :17:38.prevailing and that some businesses at least are getting back on track.

:17:38. > :17:40.If there's one thing the riots have made clear, it's that there are a

:17:40. > :17:44.significant minority of young people in the capital who feel they

:17:44. > :17:47.have no real stake in society. In the wake of the disorder, the

:17:47. > :17:50.Government has outlined plans for a National Citizens Service to try

:17:50. > :17:54.and create a new generation of engaged young adults. But is this

:17:54. > :18:04.expensive scheme really the best way to win hearts and minds? We

:18:04. > :18:10.

:18:10. > :18:16.sent our reporter, Richard Adams, Many people have long thought to

:18:16. > :18:19.bring back national service. The riots have given youth a really

:18:19. > :18:21.bad name. So if more people can get opportunities likes this, we can

:18:21. > :18:23.redeem ourselves. It's a non-military programme that

:18:23. > :18:27.captures the spirit of non-military national service. I think it's good

:18:27. > :18:30.for certain people, because you know everyone is different.

:18:30. > :18:33.It takes 16 year olds from different backgrounds and gets them

:18:33. > :18:36.to work together. It's not up to the scheme, it's up

:18:36. > :18:42.to the teenagers themselves. If they want to sort themselves out,

:18:42. > :18:45.then they can. Following the London riots, many

:18:45. > :18:49.have contemplated how best to engage what they consider to be a

:18:49. > :18:52.disaffected generation. Beginning in the tranquil surroundings of

:18:52. > :18:55.Snowdonia, we're following one group of London teens as they

:18:55. > :19:02.embark on a rights of passage, which David Cameron believes could

:19:02. > :19:05.provide the solution. This group of 16 year olds were

:19:05. > :19:11.some of the first to participate in pilot schemes launched during the

:19:11. > :19:21.summer. Hello, everybody, just want to say

:19:21. > :19:24.a massively warm welcome to the challenge.

:19:25. > :19:28.We're going to a camping trip in Wales for five days, a long walk.

:19:28. > :19:29.I'm not looking forward to that, not at all. A six-hour walk, they

:19:30. > :19:32.say. The scheme is available to all

:19:32. > :19:35.teenagers from all backgrounds. It aims to provide sense of purpose,

:19:35. > :19:38.in the hope that it will create a generation of engaged citizens.

:19:38. > :19:41.The nature of society these days is that we are incredibly fragmented,

:19:41. > :19:44.many of us don't even know our next-door neighbours, but these

:19:44. > :19:48.young people are getting a chance to know not just the people who

:19:48. > :19:54.live around them, and who might be the same age as them, but people

:19:54. > :19:57.from completely different age groups. This guy is my main boy

:19:57. > :20:01.right here, but hopefully, if I fall down the mountain, you are

:20:01. > :20:03.going to come all the way down and pick me up. Yeah, of course, man,

:20:03. > :20:05.of course. The scheme begins with a demanding

:20:05. > :20:14.two-day trek. Helping to encourage team work, participants' physical

:20:14. > :20:20.and mental capabilities are put to the test. Look at that! We've got

:20:20. > :20:23.ages! And I hate heights, but I am dimly -- defeating it slowly.

:20:23. > :20:26.scary! We've only known each other for

:20:26. > :20:29.less than 24 hours, and yet we are starting to form like a family.

:20:29. > :20:32.That David up there, the loud mouth. According to the poll commissioned

:20:32. > :20:34.by Inside Out, 87% of those questioned believe some form of

:20:34. > :20:37.national service should be introduced. Of those who wanted it,

:20:37. > :20:45.more than half said it should be compulsory. Despite this, there are

:20:45. > :20:48.concerns about the programme David Cameron has advocated.

:20:48. > :20:53.The service is a snapshot. It is three weeks of activities followed

:20:53. > :20:57.by 30 hours of volunteering. And in itself, that's a good thing, and it

:20:57. > :21:00.would be an even better thing if it weren't for the fact that youth

:21:00. > :21:04.services were being demolished. We've got a contradiction here. On

:21:04. > :21:12.the one hand, a programme that in itself is a good thing, and on the

:21:12. > :21:17.other, taking away things that are already working.

:21:17. > :21:20.Er, excuse me, stop. Stop a minute there, sir. Oi, you, stop!

:21:20. > :21:22.One of the youth projects that has suffered is Immediate Theatre. For

:21:22. > :21:25.16 years, they have brought theatre to council estates across the

:21:25. > :21:34.capital. Last year, they reached out to almost 16,000 young

:21:34. > :21:37.Londoners. The group are currently rehearsing for a performance in

:21:37. > :21:43.response to London riots. We were down by Mier Street, and we took

:21:43. > :21:50.bare t'ings. We have had a series of traumatic

:21:50. > :21:54.cuts. We have gone from 23 people to six. So young people are hanging

:21:54. > :21:58.out with no less safe and secure to go. We were going to estates with

:21:58. > :22:05.nothing going on and it has gone. We are in there for a couple of

:22:05. > :22:11.years and then we have abandoned them some at one mentor is 24-year-

:22:11. > :22:15.old former gang member Jamal his life has been transformed.

:22:15. > :22:19.Be in part of Immediate Theatre has made me feel I have

:22:19. > :22:24.responsibilities so I have to take that action. I can be constructive

:22:24. > :22:27.now within myself. Everything has fallen into place, we are getting

:22:27. > :22:35.everyone prepared. A lot of youth clubs have been

:22:35. > :22:38.closed down so people here have not got a lot to do. Back in Snowdonia,

:22:38. > :22:41.Challenge Group Reiss are still struggling to cope with the demands

:22:41. > :22:43.of their trek. She's a bit frightened at the moment. Kendra,

:22:43. > :22:46.are you all right? She's a bit frightened.

:22:46. > :22:50.During the summer, around 9,000 16 year olds took part in the scheme

:22:50. > :22:53.across the country. It is hoped that up to 30,000 will take part

:22:53. > :22:57.next year. But there are major concerns about financing a scheme

:22:57. > :22:59.that costs �1,000 per participant. 40% of the Londoners we questioned

:22:59. > :23:06.don't believe that investing more in youth services would prevent

:23:06. > :23:11.future riots. I am falling off!

:23:11. > :23:13.There are 600,000 16 year olds in this country. If it was to be

:23:13. > :23:17.rolled out across the country, you're talking about hundreds of

:23:17. > :23:20.millions of pounds, who is going to pay for that? I think the key point

:23:20. > :23:24.in terms of how much this programme costs is not just about its value

:23:24. > :23:26.for money in six or seven weeks that they are doing the programme,

:23:26. > :23:29.but is it value for money in the long term.

:23:29. > :23:32.But those funds could be used by other youth services, which offer

:23:32. > :23:35.access 365 days a year. Can you understand why some people will say

:23:35. > :23:39.this is not representing value for money?

:23:39. > :23:42.For us, that �1,000 is very well spent if they then go on to become

:23:42. > :23:50.the kind of citizens in society that we desperately need in this

:23:50. > :23:53.country, people who take responsibility for their actions.

:23:53. > :24:00.Come on, people! Back in Hackney, Immediate Theatre

:24:01. > :24:03.are hours away from performing their riot-inspired production.

:24:03. > :24:07.I am a litre. Set yourselves for the beginning,

:24:07. > :24:16.put your things in the right places, go to the loo, have a quick snack,

:24:16. > :24:18.stay out of sight, until we call you.

:24:18. > :24:22.Instead of going out on the streets, hanging around doing pointless

:24:22. > :24:31.nonsense, you can come and do something and watch it and do a

:24:31. > :24:35.performance where you feel like you've actually achieved something.

:24:35. > :24:37.To be honest with you, I reckon I would have been involved in the

:24:37. > :24:43.riots because, who knows, if I wasn't involved with in Immediate

:24:43. > :24:47.Theatre, I would have just been, you know, looting.

:24:47. > :24:57.I have come from the same background, so I can try and push

:24:57. > :24:58.

:24:58. > :25:08.them in the right direction. They were on the ball, I would say they

:25:08. > :25:13.

:25:13. > :25:23.will well-trained! Yes! I have done it! I trusted the next person and

:25:23. > :25:24.

:25:24. > :25:30.the next person trusted me, everybody saved my life.

:25:30. > :25:37.It is more mentally and physically towards the end, but thinking of

:25:37. > :25:40.doing that is amazing. Never doing it again! Would you? It's still too

:25:40. > :25:43.early to judge the long-term benefits of a National Citizen

:25:43. > :25:45.Service, and with cuts being made to existing youth services, policy

:25:45. > :25:49.makers face difficult decisions on where best to allocate funding and

:25:49. > :25:53.resources. What's vital is that they are decisive, and penetrate

:25:53. > :26:03.the root cause of the riots, so we never again witness the scenes of

:26:03. > :26:05.

:26:05. > :26:08.Well, that's about it for tonight's Inside Out London. Before we go

:26:08. > :26:12.though, here's a quick look at what's coming up next week.

:26:12. > :26:22.A lifetime of student debt - we reveal some novel ways of beating

:26:22. > :26:29.

:26:29. > :26:36.the fees. We expose how tuition fees will hit part-time students

:26:36. > :26:43.are hardest. A lot of people will not be able to study, you will lose

:26:43. > :26:49.a lot of people a lot of opportunities to change their lives.

:26:49. > :26:54.And the property developers making a killing from student rentals.

:26:54. > :27:03.we own a blog in a square in the centre of London and that is �600 a

:27:03. > :27:06.And that's it from this week's Inside Out. If you missed any of

:27:06. > :27:16.tonight's programme, then you can catch up on the iPlayer. Just head

:27:16. > :27:44.

:27:44. > :27:47.to our website. Thanks very much Hello, I'm Celina Hinchcliffe with

:27:47. > :27:50.your 90 seconds update. High energy bills? It's up to you

:27:50. > :27:52.to shop around for the best deal. That's the advice from ministers.

:27:53. > :27:55.They met big suppliers today to discuss soaring prices. Labour said

:27:56. > :27:58.the government's not doing enough. Jo Yeates' killer said he put a

:27:58. > :28:00.hand on her throat after she screamed. Bristol Crown Court heard

:28:01. > :28:03.part of Vincent Tabak's defence statement. He admits manslaughter

:28:03. > :28:07.but denies murder. Tributes have been paid to British

:28:07. > :28:10.Indy car champion Dan Wheldon. He died in a huge pile up at a race in

:28:10. > :28:12.Las Vegas. Jenson Button said he was a legend. Lewis Hamilton called

:28:12. > :28:15.it a tragic loss. 96 people died in the Hillsborough

:28:15. > :28:18.disaster 22 years ago. MPs are discussing a call for all documents

:28:18. > :28:20.about it to be published. It's after thousands signed an online

:28:20. > :28:23.petition. It's long been thought that Vincent

:28:23. > :28:25.Van Gogh killed himself. Not so, according to a new book. Its

:28:25. > :28:27.authors believe he was shot by a local teenager.

:28:27. > :28:30.Hello, I'm Riz Lateef with the latest from London.

:28:30. > :28:33.The Met Police have admitted they would have used water cannon during

:28:33. > :28:35.the London riots had they been available. A BBC London poll

:28:35. > :28:38.revealed almost three quarters of people supported their use.

:28:38. > :28:41.Labour's Ken Livingstone is back on the campaign trail for next year's

:28:41. > :28:44.mayoral election. He's promising 11,500 new jobs for young people
