:00:00. > :00:12.Hello there. . I'm Matthew Wright. You're watching Inside Out London.
:00:13. > :00:16.Here's what's coming up on tonight's show. We find out how we coped after
:00:17. > :00:21.the torrential rain that battered the region. I got a pump on
:00:22. > :00:25.downstairs and as fast as we're pumping the water out, it is coming
:00:26. > :00:29.back in. I spoke to a neighbour who lived here for 30 years and she says
:00:30. > :00:36.she has never seen it like this before. We meet the artists helping
:00:37. > :00:42.Luton overcome years of negative press. When I sit and look around,
:00:43. > :00:48.Luton, all I hear is extremism and tension and quickly I'm drawing to
:00:49. > :00:55.using my art to try and paint a different picture. We reveal the
:00:56. > :00:59.secret world of the capital's urban food foragers. Look what we have
:01:00. > :01:03.managed to find. Several different types of mushroom. This is
:01:04. > :01:07.horseradish. We have leaves that you can use in salad and two enormous
:01:08. > :01:24.bags of apples. Torrential rain has given most of us
:01:25. > :01:28.a battering recently with some parts of the Home Counties severely hit by
:01:29. > :01:32.flooding. Downstream, the Thames Barrier had to close several times
:01:33. > :01:35.to protect the capital and the Environment Agency has warned that
:01:36. > :01:41.the legacy of all that bad weather could last for days. Marc Ashdown
:01:42. > :01:51.has been finding out how we have all been coping.
:01:52. > :02:01.To the west of London, it is the latest area to be struck by the
:02:02. > :02:07.flooding. Four days ago, this was a park for walking dogs and community
:02:08. > :02:16.events. Now, it is completely disappeared. Now, ordinary airline,
:02:17. > :02:20.there is a trib orl yarl, there is a trickle of water and grass. So the
:02:21. > :02:25.first problem is how long it will take the water to recede. That could
:02:26. > :02:31.be many weeks and only then can the clear`up begin. Before that, the
:02:32. > :02:38.rescues. Many elderly residents had to be evacuated after the water rose
:02:39. > :02:43.up overnight. I have got my wellies on. Take me up as far as you can go.
:02:44. > :02:48.Just keeping the water level manageable and away from electrics
:02:49. > :02:53.is a 24 hour job. In seven years of living here, Kate has never flooded
:02:54. > :02:56.until now. One day it was just a little bit in the garden and then I
:02:57. > :03:00.was standing in my office and the water was coming up through the
:03:01. > :03:04.corners. It is coming under the house, not just through the doors
:03:05. > :03:08.and it is coming in very fast as you see. I have got a pump on downstairs
:03:09. > :03:11.and as fast as we're pumping the water out, it's coming back in. I
:03:12. > :03:18.spoke to a neighbour who lived here for 30 years and she said she has
:03:19. > :03:23.never seen it like this before. But extreme weather like this is
:03:24. > :03:28.expected to become more frequent which led to serious questions about
:03:29. > :03:33.the need to adapt. We have been building in the flood plain and
:03:34. > :03:38.we've not really been building in such a way to take account of what
:03:39. > :03:41.looked like there are going to be more frequent floods. People expect
:03:42. > :03:45.the Government to protect them and I think there is a need to increase
:03:46. > :03:52.awareness that now that that probably is not going to happen in
:03:53. > :03:58.some cases. The flooding started many miles away
:03:59. > :04:03.to the south of London, back on Christmas Eve. Thousands awoke to
:04:04. > :04:08.find their homes knee`deep or worse. In Reigate, in Surrey, the Middleton
:04:09. > :04:12.family had to grab what they could and move into a hotel. We filmed
:04:13. > :04:17.with them minutes before they left. Santa is going to know where to fin
:04:18. > :04:21.us even if we are at the hotel. Two weeks on and I caught up with the
:04:22. > :04:26.family of four. Still living out of a suitcase a after a hastily
:04:27. > :04:30.arranged Christmas with friends, they are trying to juggle family
:04:31. > :04:35.life mainly in the car and in a hotel room. Back in at their house,
:04:36. > :04:41.and the water has finally gone, but with it, the full picture of the
:04:42. > :04:45.damage is emerging. All the water had drained away and you can see
:04:46. > :04:49.from the tide marks that it got up to four inches. It could be four
:04:50. > :04:52.months before the floors are down and life gets back to normal, but
:04:53. > :04:58.this is the third time they flooded in the past few years which brings
:04:59. > :05:03.longer term concerns. If we want to sell the house, obviously, the value
:05:04. > :05:09.will have fallen and the insurance doesn't cover that and also what if
:05:10. > :05:13.the insurers decide they the don't want to insure us anymore and those
:05:14. > :05:16.are our biggest worries. I think we have got to look at ways of
:05:17. > :05:20.preparing the house better. The sandbags were delivered after the
:05:21. > :05:24.water had come into the house. So as you see, when you were downstairs,
:05:25. > :05:28.the sandbags aren't stopping the water coming in now at all. For many
:05:29. > :05:32.people living around here, this is the worst flooding they have ever
:05:33. > :05:36.seen. Over the past two weeks, hundreds, if not thousands of people
:05:37. > :05:39.across the region, have been forced from their homes because of
:05:40. > :05:46.flooding. The worst they have ever had here was in 1894 and this plaque
:05:47. > :05:50.commemorates the high water mark of the river. If that was to happen
:05:51. > :06:00.here, tens of thousands of people could find their houses underwater.
:06:01. > :06:08.Since then, things have never got that bad, but the worst flooding in
:06:09. > :06:12.living memory to hit the capital was in March 1947. After a severe
:06:13. > :06:16.winter, much of the Thames Valley was engulfed as the River Thames
:06:17. > :06:21.burst its banks across the city and beyond. It hit many town centres and
:06:22. > :06:34.the Army had to be drafted in just to keep things moving.
:06:35. > :06:41.In recent years, Londoners have become adept at keeping the water at
:06:42. > :06:47.bay from sandbags and make`shift emergency defences like here in
:06:48. > :06:51.Guildford to this newly devised floating sensor which measures
:06:52. > :06:56.minute by minute how deep the water is getting. Some will always make
:06:57. > :07:00.the best of a bad situation and of course, London boasts one of the
:07:01. > :07:09.largest and most effective pieces of flood defence ever conceived. The
:07:10. > :07:16.Thames Barrier. Built in the 1980s without it great swathes of Central
:07:17. > :07:23.London would by now, have repeatedly flooded. Ten gates as high as a five
:07:24. > :07:28.storey building, holding back 9 ,000 tonnes of water. Recently, it has
:07:29. > :07:32.been busy, closed for 11 successive high tides and with the danger of
:07:33. > :07:36.more flooding to come, is it now enough? There are calls for more
:07:37. > :07:40.forward thinking when new homes are planned. I'm concerned about some of
:07:41. > :07:45.the building that's taking place particularly where we know that the
:07:46. > :07:49.area is definitely in a flood plain. The problem we have in the UK and in
:07:50. > :07:54.London is that we have very little space to build new property. The
:07:55. > :08:00.first step is understanding how the flooding spreads and that's where
:08:01. > :08:05.satellites come in. We have a satellite image taken over the South
:08:06. > :08:08.East of England. Armed with the knowledge these images provide, the
:08:09. > :08:12.authorities can examine where the flooding struck and developed over
:08:13. > :08:18.the past few weeks. Here we have on the left the river, well you can
:08:19. > :08:22.hardly see the river at all. But on the right`hand example here, you can
:08:23. > :08:26.see the river is extremely flooded. It is very, very severe. It is
:08:27. > :08:31.essential information for planning future flood defences. We're
:08:32. > :08:35.probably still in the early days of really exploiting this technology to
:08:36. > :08:43.its fullest as we have more images available of what is happening on
:08:44. > :08:47.the ground, with much higher frequency, we are finding new ways
:08:48. > :08:55.to work with them and identify the problem areas. The past few weeks
:08:56. > :08:59.have clearly shown the areas most vulnerable. Councils weigh the
:09:00. > :09:11.desperate need for more homes with the dangers of yet more development
:09:12. > :09:16.in the flood plains. Back here, there isn't much confidence in the
:09:17. > :09:21.Environment Agency's ability to protect existing homes. They have
:09:22. > :09:26.told me they could not stop several, many thousands of houses, flooding
:09:27. > :09:29.if we had the level of flood that we had in 1940s. There was a number of
:09:30. > :09:33.different ways now that buildings are being designed with the sort of
:09:34. > :09:38.flood risk in mind. So there are many things that can be done as far
:09:39. > :09:41.as adapting our buildings and designing our buildings and I think
:09:42. > :09:47.that's something else we need to look at more in the future, is how
:09:48. > :09:49.do we design our societies if we are having to live with this increased
:09:50. > :10:03.risk of flooding? Marc Ashdown reporting there. Still
:10:04. > :10:10.to come on tonight's show: Foraging is by no means restricted
:10:11. > :10:16.to London's open areas. It is not look more busy and urban than that,
:10:17. > :10:22.but in an area like this, there is plenty of food to be foraged. Just
:10:23. > :10:26.off the high street, you can find apples and blackberries and
:10:27. > :10:33.meddlers. Luton suffered plenty of negative
:10:34. > :10:45.press with rioting and social deprivation never far from the
:10:46. > :10:50.headlines. Author Sarfraz Manzoor grew up there. He went back to see
:10:51. > :10:57.if Luton put some of its troubles behind it. This is my hometown,
:10:58. > :11:01.Luton. I grew up here during the 80s in Marsh Farm and since then there
:11:02. > :11:06.has been riots and racial tension in the town. It is an image that haunts
:11:07. > :11:10.Luton. All I dreamt about was leaving and as soon as I was 18, I
:11:11. > :11:14.did. I became a journalist and felt strongly about my childhood in the
:11:15. > :11:19.town, I wrote a book about it. I thought of Luton as my past, not my
:11:20. > :11:23.future. I live in London now and in a modest two bedroomed flat, but
:11:24. > :11:28.with house prices being the way they are, I can't imagine being able to
:11:29. > :11:32.buy a house there, that's made me wonder whether I can imagine living
:11:33. > :11:37.back in Luton. Whether the things I love about London, the creativity,
:11:38. > :11:41.the cultural richness, whether I could find those things here, but is
:11:42. > :11:48.it really possible to go back home again?
:11:49. > :11:57.I was a student at Luton Sixth Form College 25 years ago. When I was
:11:58. > :12:04.studying for my A`levels, the reason I wanted to pass my exams was
:12:05. > :12:11.because it meant I would get out of Luton. How do people feel today? I
:12:12. > :12:17.have come back today to find out. What's the first thing you hear
:12:18. > :12:21.about when I say Luton? Luton Airport! Where do you say you are
:12:22. > :12:27.from when people ask? Milton Keynes. I have got family in Milton Keynes.
:12:28. > :12:37.I would never say I am from Milton Keynes. I am from New Manor. No one
:12:38. > :12:42.is going to build a good reputation. How many people would it take to big
:12:43. > :12:46.up Luton? Luton has an image problem, but there are successful
:12:47. > :12:51.creative people out there, bigging up Luton. One person who is so proud
:12:52. > :12:54.of Luton he wears it as a badge of honour is Dominic Allen. He is an
:12:55. > :12:59.artist whose work is inspired by every day life in his hometown and
:13:00. > :13:03.the satchel Gallery in London bought his work. He lives in London, but
:13:04. > :13:09.comes back to support Luton Town. He added Luton to his name. I changed
:13:10. > :13:14.my name, not by depoll yesterday, I think that, I don't think people
:13:15. > :13:18.took it seriously to begin with. But when people sta funding it and
:13:19. > :13:26.buying name, for me it validates it, it is taken seriously. I don't...
:13:27. > :13:30.Are they envious or are they like, "Oh my god, we come from really
:13:31. > :13:36.creative places and you come from Luton?" They are really wary and
:13:37. > :13:40.unknowing about it. I know everyone has an opinion on Luton. Usually not
:13:41. > :13:47.until recently that positive. So that's why I wanted to wear that as
:13:48. > :13:54.a kind of badge of honour. When I was growing up, this was a
:13:55. > :14:00.place of terror. There was some of this closed mindedness is not the
:14:01. > :14:04.community I want. Both these things are the things that pulled me away
:14:05. > :14:07.from Luton. It is interesting. There is two things now which bring you
:14:08. > :14:12.back to Luton, my parents and this place, I think. I think, I will also
:14:13. > :14:16.say that I think that, I think there is a lot more going on. There is a
:14:17. > :14:19.much bigger conversation taking place between what is here, this
:14:20. > :14:22.football club and realising that actually where it sits in the
:14:23. > :14:29.community and how the community has changed around it. Another artist
:14:30. > :14:37.who portrays a different view of Luton is Ben Hodson. Ben Hodson
:14:38. > :14:41.produced a piece of work called Lutopia. What is Lutopia? It is a
:14:42. > :14:46.project I started back in 2007 and it was this basic idea that Luton
:14:47. > :14:49.gets a lot of bad, negative press. I'm sure you have heard a lot of it
:14:50. > :14:53.yourself and the project was investigating what Luton was.
:14:54. > :14:58.Looking at the every day, not necessarily beautiful parts of
:14:59. > :15:02.Luton, but looking at the mundane, looking at the parks and the
:15:03. > :15:07.roundabouts and finding ways to express the beauty in the mundane.
:15:08. > :15:11.When I sit and live in Luton and I look around you, all you hear is
:15:12. > :15:15.extremism, tensions all these things going on. So very quickly I'm
:15:16. > :15:19.drawing to using my art to paint a different picture. The Luton that
:15:20. > :15:23.I'm seeing is very different from the media stereotype. Certain areas
:15:24. > :15:30.have benefited from investment to create a more bee hemian feel. Luton
:15:31. > :15:35.Culture is an independent charity that has been behind the
:15:36. > :15:43.regeneration. The former hat factory has been transformed into an art
:15:44. > :15:49.centre. The punk band UK Decay never lost touch with their roots in Luton
:15:50. > :16:01.and they played here recently. I met their lead singer, Steve Abbott. He
:16:02. > :16:06.was an old school friend for this man. What changed Hackney around was
:16:07. > :16:13.people doing it for themselves and the authorities chasing, you know,
:16:14. > :16:18.trying to provide some kind of infrastructure and I see the same
:16:19. > :16:28.thing is happening in Luton. Luton, high town, reminds me of Dulston. If
:16:29. > :16:31.I was to meet you guys in five or ten years, how do you think the
:16:32. > :16:35.artistic community and what's going on artistically, how do you think it
:16:36. > :16:40.will have changed? Well, I think Luton will create artists. You see
:16:41. > :16:47.it now, you look at the local shows on here. They are not like local
:16:48. > :16:52.shows. It is a much broader sort of pallet of the arts than it was in
:16:53. > :17:00.our day of the it was just music and a little bit of dra mall. `` drama?
:17:01. > :17:05.You will have more people like him who started off in London, but big
:17:06. > :17:10.in London and big in New York. There is a magnet of Luton and I meet
:17:11. > :17:14.people... What's bringing you back? Coming from somewhere that makes you
:17:15. > :17:21.proud. It means something out there. It is unique.
:17:22. > :17:24.Although Luton clearly still has real problems, listening to them, I
:17:25. > :17:30.almost started believing it is set to be a creative Mecca, but then I'm
:17:31. > :17:37.reminded of the a mixed feelings of the students at my old college. Is
:17:38. > :17:41.Luton on its way up or down? I think that Luton will get worse before it
:17:42. > :17:46.gets better. I think it is going up. There is support for people who are
:17:47. > :17:50.in bad situations. There is if new houses being built. There is new
:17:51. > :17:54.schools being built. There is a university that's doing well.
:17:55. > :18:00.When I started making this film I had no idea what I would find. What
:18:01. > :18:04.I have found is a thriving, stimulating town that's a world away
:18:05. > :18:08.from the tedium of my childhood. I love living in London, but I think I
:18:09. > :18:12.could imagine returning to Luton. There is just something very special
:18:13. > :18:16.about home towns. Like families, we don't choose them, we spend our
:18:17. > :18:18.childhoods kicking against them and once we have forgiven them, we can't
:18:19. > :18:29.help, but love them. Quinces, hops and asparagus. Not
:18:30. > :18:34.things you would expect to be growing wild on your doorstep, but
:18:35. > :18:39.urban London can be an edible treasure trove if you know where to
:18:40. > :18:44.look and foraging for food has never been a more popular activity. We
:18:45. > :18:54.sent Wendy Hurrell to dig into the story. Up early to catch the best
:18:55. > :19:01.time of day, I'm on Hackney Marshes with John. A man who knows a thing
:19:02. > :19:10.about foraging. Try this, Wendy. Thank you. Something to eat. It is
:19:11. > :19:18.very peppery. It should be. It is horseradish. A nice piece of beef
:19:19. > :19:24.with that. Or horse! We infuse vodka and use it for making your bloody
:19:25. > :19:29.Marys so then you don't have to put Tabasco with it.
:19:30. > :19:35.Known as the Poacher, for John, foraging has become a way of life. I
:19:36. > :19:38.don't like being in indoors, I can wander around out here. I have got
:19:39. > :19:43.nobody telling me what to do. I can get on and do what I want to do. He
:19:44. > :19:48.learnt to forage at a very young age. My grandad and my dad and my
:19:49. > :19:53.uncle taught me how to fish and I got in with a group of kids that, we
:19:54. > :19:58.used to go every weekend. Are these any good to eat? Yeah, yeah, they
:19:59. > :20:03.are really good. They are fairy rings. They have got a poisonous
:20:04. > :20:07.cousin though. It is fair to say you have to be careful with mushroom
:20:08. > :20:10.picking? You hear every year of people doing it for years and
:20:11. > :20:21.experts and stuff and they make one mistake and that's all you need. My
:20:22. > :20:26.own secret larder. But is foraging legal? Well, common`law allows
:20:27. > :20:33.foraging for personal use as long as it is in a public place. Some
:20:34. > :20:39.councils or parks have bye`laws though. It is common land so as long
:20:40. > :20:43.as you are not taking too much then it is absolutely fine. Next on our
:20:44. > :20:54.forage list are apples. I think John can do this one on his own! It is a
:20:55. > :20:57.good haul isn't it. We have been here for the morning and look what
:20:58. > :21:01.we have managed to find. Several different types of mushroom. This is
:21:02. > :21:08.horseradish. We have got leaves that you can use in salad and rose hips
:21:09. > :21:12.and two bags of apples. This is a part of London I know quite well and
:21:13. > :21:17.to be honest I would have walked straight past all of this. John is
:21:18. > :21:23.going to carry on foraging and I'll catch up with him a bit later on.
:21:24. > :21:30.Foraging is by no means restricted just to London's open areas. It is
:21:31. > :21:36.everywhere. This is Clapham. It doesn't get more busy and urban than
:21:37. > :21:40.this. But even in an area like this, there is plenty of food to be
:21:41. > :21:50.foraged. Just off the high street, you can find apples, blackberries
:21:51. > :22:01.and meddler. `` meddlers. Behind the high street is an area with rich
:22:02. > :22:06.pickings. We've got meddlers. If you took me on a culinary tour of
:22:07. > :22:16.Peckham right now, what would we find? Apes and pears and quinces.
:22:17. > :22:20.There is asparagus growing up the road in a churchyard. Penny was
:22:21. > :22:25.forced to give up work and began foraging out of necessity. Two young
:22:26. > :22:30.kids to look after. Fruit and veg was expensive and I was on a very
:22:31. > :22:34.tight budget and had to claim benefits at the time and there was
:22:35. > :22:39.fruit all around us that nobody was using. Because it is urban, it is
:22:40. > :22:44.not, it is not like the traditional foraging, you know, we are kind of
:22:45. > :22:49.utilising and adapting to our space and helping to look after it. I
:22:50. > :22:54.think and valuing it, you know. The majority of foragers like John and
:22:55. > :22:57.Penny are respectful. They only take what they need and they are not
:22:58. > :23:02.doing any harm, but there is a minority who have got greedy and
:23:03. > :23:07.they are posing a risk to the environment and themselves. Here is
:23:08. > :23:12.a small fairy ring. Paul Thomson is the superintendent for Epping Forest
:23:13. > :23:17.where mushroom picking is illegal. It is a Site of Special Scientific
:23:18. > :23:20.Interest. The fungi needs to be protected. It is a food source for a
:23:21. > :23:30.lot of other animals in the forest. There is an assetic argument. This
:23:31. > :23:34.year, the forest floor is a kaleidoscope of beautiful colours.
:23:35. > :23:37.Maybe a few years ago, people would pick this for breakfast and under
:23:38. > :23:42.our previous licensing keep that would have been fine. These days,
:23:43. > :23:46.people are coming and picking that sort of quantity which is not fine.
:23:47. > :23:51.These were confiscated yesterday from pickers in the forest. All
:23:52. > :23:56.these mushrooms have been seized for from illegal pickers. So far, nine
:23:57. > :24:00.people have been prosecuted and a further 19 are awaiting court
:24:01. > :24:05.hearings, but the high market value of these fungi means it is a risk
:24:06. > :24:13.some pickers are prepared to take. Our intention now would be to return
:24:14. > :24:17.this material back to the forest so the spores can get into the forest
:24:18. > :24:22.soil and we will put them back in such a way that they can't be picked
:24:23. > :24:28.again. Back in Hackney and John has decided the time has come to harvest
:24:29. > :24:33.something really quite special. It is a chicken in the woods. It is one
:24:34. > :24:38.of my favourite mushrooms to collect. I have had chicken in the
:24:39. > :24:44.woods up to 21 kilos in weight which at the time they were going for
:24:45. > :24:48.about ?20 on the kilo. John is able to make some money from foraging,
:24:49. > :24:52.but what he really enjoys is a bit of bartering. Trading is good.
:24:53. > :24:58.Trading is fun. I got a friend of mine who gets good quality meat so I
:24:59. > :25:03.will swap him mushrooms for meat. What's the most unusual thing you
:25:04. > :25:08.bartered? My tattoo. I can trade for anything. I supplied somebody
:25:09. > :25:13.yesterday with a load of mushrooms and he hand makes shoes.
:25:14. > :25:18.John is taking his foraged food to Stefan at his restaurant in Stoke
:25:19. > :25:23.Newington? With Stefan, I take him stuff. I get paid a small amount of
:25:24. > :25:27.money that I ask him for and then if I want to go out for a meal, I can
:25:28. > :25:34.phone up and book a table and go and have a meal on them. Of I acquire a
:25:35. > :25:37.lot of knowledge with this guy. He brings something that you can't find
:25:38. > :25:43.somewhere else. You have something spicy there. You have something like
:25:44. > :25:48.meaty, acidic there which is very different and then you have that
:25:49. > :25:54.wild salad. I am always trying to incorporate what he brings with what
:25:55. > :26:00.I already have in the fridge. I am looking forward to sampling all this
:26:01. > :26:05.later! Penny, unlike John, doesn't trade or sell her stuff. She runs a
:26:06. > :26:10.small community project called Grow Wild which with turns fruit that
:26:11. > :26:21.would otherwise go to waste into delicious jams and chutneys. These
:26:22. > :26:30.are cookers from Nunhead Lane. These are New Cross grapes. They are from
:26:31. > :26:36.an escaped vine! That's very good. Back in Stoke Newington, chef,
:26:37. > :26:44.Stefan, is plating up our foraged food. I cooked horseradish in white
:26:45. > :26:56.wine. Some of the white rocket. Oh yes. Yes. And the last touch is the
:26:57. > :27:03.rose hip. It is caramelised in butter, sugar and water. Here we go.
:27:04. > :27:09.Now we can eat it. So we've got cordials from South`East London.
:27:10. > :27:14.This is a terrific feast. What do you think of the mushroom, John?
:27:15. > :27:21.Yeah, it is really good. Fantastic, really nice. Cheers. Cheers,
:27:22. > :27:25.everyone. Here is to London's free bits and bobs.
:27:26. > :27:33.I have heard some people are signing up for foraging courses and although
:27:34. > :27:36.I have never tried caramelised rose hip before, that meal looked
:27:37. > :27:40.delicious. Well, that's nearly all for this evening, but xwfr we go ``
:27:41. > :27:44.before we go, let's have a quick look at what's coming up next week.
:27:45. > :27:48.With energy prices rocketing, we reveal how more and more people are
:27:49. > :27:52.stealing gas and electricity. I don't know if you can see that, it
:27:53. > :27:56.has got teeth that have been taken off. So only a fraction of the gas
:27:57. > :28:01.has been recorded on that index. We join the British Gas detectives as
:28:02. > :28:05.they hunt down the power thieves. One landlord has got over 50
:28:06. > :28:10.properties. All of them have been hot wired. The theft of supply can
:28:11. > :28:14.run into millions. We find out how neighbourhoods are generating their
:28:15. > :28:18.own electricity to beat the bills. We are interested in both the power
:28:19. > :28:22.that it produces and the heat. The heat that's normally wasted in our
:28:23. > :28:27.power stations, but we capture it here and put it into a new network
:28:28. > :28:37.of heat pipes. It is like a very large central heating system for a
:28:38. > :28:41.community. And that's all from this week's Inside Out London. If you
:28:42. > :28:48.have missed any of tonight's show, just go to the iplayer. Thanks very
:28:49. > :29:04.much for watching. I will see you again next week.
:29:05. > :29:09.Hello, I'm Ellie Crisell with your 90`second update.
:29:10. > :29:13.The PM has backed fracking. He's promised councils incentives if they
:29:14. > :29:14.let companies drill for shale gas. Critics have
