Tonight on BBC London News. Protestors at St Paul's face fresh

:00:10.:00:16.

legal action to remove their tents from around the Cathedral. In my

:00:16.:00:21.

view, you should not be allowed simply to set up camp on the public

:00:21.:00:25.

highway and remain there indefinitely. Also tonight, the

:00:25.:00:28.

jury at the Stephen Lawrence murder trial is told the black teenager

:00:28.:00:31.

was swallowed up by a gang who stabbed him to death. Plus, Olympic

:00:31.:00:36.

bosses admit that using the military for security during the

:00:36.:00:42.

Games could be an option. If you've a visited Wimbledon and see the

:00:42.:00:46.

role the military plays there, it adds a very positive way to the

:00:46.:00:50.

experience of the event and the confidence the spectators have.

:00:50.:00:53.

would want to shoot this animal? We join the deer hunter determined to

:00:53.:01:03.
:01:03.:01:07.

capture the capital's stags on Good evening and welcome to the

:01:07.:01:13.

programme. The City of London Corporation has said it will re-

:01:13.:01:16.

start legal action to clear tents from around St Paul's Cathedral

:01:16.:01:20.

after talks with protesters got nowhere. It's a month since the

:01:20.:01:23.

protestors set up their camp there, calling for action against what

:01:23.:01:26.

they see as the excesses of capitalism. The corporation had

:01:26.:01:28.

previously offered to give the demonstrators until the New Year to

:01:28.:01:38.
:01:38.:01:39.

leave the site. The Wall Street occupation had the NYPD to deal

:01:39.:01:43.

with today. At St Paul's, a group of pensioners on an historical

:01:43.:01:47.

Tower of London kicked off. When you say capitalism doesn't work,

:01:47.:01:52.

neither are you. Then they started ripping down posters. They felt it

:01:52.:02:01.

was an eyesore. The activists weren't happy. Vandals! It wasn't

:02:01.:02:05.

the only drama of the day. Last night, seven members of the camp

:02:05.:02:09.

were arrested after a protest outside Guildhall. Part of their

:02:09.:02:12.

bail conditions meant they had to leave the city at midday, which

:02:12.:02:18.

they did. Earlier, there was a press conference. Press conferences

:02:18.:02:22.

at the same for encampment don't half go on. There's lots of

:02:22.:02:24.

different working groups dealing with different functions in the

:02:24.:02:31.

camp and they all get a go on the microphone. We've learnt that the

:02:31.:02:35.

camp has collected �23,000 worth of cash donations in a month, which is

:02:36.:02:40.

quite impressive. And from the direct action working group there

:02:40.:02:43.

is going to be a protest outside the American embassy this afternoon,

:02:43.:02:50.

a reaction against what's happening in Wall Street overnight. The

:02:50.:02:54.

embassy demo was small. I'm not allowed to walk over there? Some

:02:55.:03:00.

American activists complained about not being allowed in to object to

:03:00.:03:04.

what was happening on Wall Street. Finally, the Corporation of London

:03:04.:03:08.

told us that negotiations have broken down with the camp and legal

:03:08.:03:12.

action to have picked that had been suspended has restarted. We have

:03:12.:03:17.

informed their solicitors. We will issue a notice to them to leave

:03:17.:03:21.

tomorrow within 24 hours. That is where we are at this stage. This

:03:21.:03:29.

reaction to the announcement from the camp. It's a legal wrangle over

:03:29.:03:32.

something which has a great division, which we should all be

:03:32.:03:37.

looking at, a global picture. the legal battle continues, the

:03:37.:03:41.

occupiers will stay and we are one step closer to the scenes being

:03:41.:03:46.

played out in the shadow of the cathedral. So, a month on, has the

:03:46.:03:51.

camp achieved anything? We'd like to hear your thoughts on this. Do

:03:51.:03:55.

get in touch - details are on your screen now and I'll try and read

:03:55.:03:59.

some of your comments later in the programme. Lots more to come,

:03:59.:04:02.

including the children making a stand against violence in the

:04:02.:04:11.

Olympic organisers say using the Army to make next year's sports

:04:11.:04:19.

venues safe is a very attractive option. They told Parliament's

:04:19.:04:21.

Culture Committee that discussions have already taken place about how

:04:21.:04:24.

the military could be involved in the security operation. Our

:04:24.:04:33.

Olympics Correspondent reports. The police keep telling us the police

:04:33.:04:36.

keep telling us it's going to be a blue games, and Olympics policed by

:04:36.:04:40.

the Met with what is called a soft touch approach. Thousands of

:04:40.:04:44.

officers on duty but largely in the background. But London 2012

:04:45.:04:47.

admitted today that the games are likely to have a much bigger

:04:47.:04:50.

military presence than originally planned. They are not talking about

:04:50.:04:55.

having troops on the streets of London. But 2012 are looking for

:04:55.:05:00.

5000 extra people to boost their security staff in the venue's to

:05:00.:05:04.

around 20,000. That is where the military could play a role. From my

:05:04.:05:12.

point of view, having the option to call upon the military is a very

:05:12.:05:17.

attractive option because they come fully trained, highly respected and

:05:17.:05:21.

I always draw the comparison of Wimbledon. If you've visited

:05:22.:05:26.

Wimbledon and seen how the military place out there, it adds a very

:05:26.:05:30.

positive thing to the experience of the event and the confidence the

:05:30.:05:34.

spectators have. From a qualitative point of view it would be

:05:34.:05:39.

attractive to have a military component. The Last Summer Olympics

:05:39.:05:43.

in Beijing were dominated by the army. Guards were virtually on

:05:43.:05:47.

every corner. At the Vancouver Winter Games last year used police

:05:47.:05:51.

officers from all over Canada. The Met is drafting in thousands of

:05:52.:05:54.

extra officers from around the country to cope with the busiest

:05:54.:05:59.

days when they will need 9000 on the streets. But the Met will only

:05:59.:06:03.

have a few officers in the venues where private security staff will

:06:03.:06:06.

be operating. Now it looks like they will be supported by the armed

:06:07.:06:11.

forces, who will be in uniform. Today, the Ministry of Defence said

:06:11.:06:15.

they would provide some specialist support where appropriate. But in a

:06:15.:06:18.

statement they said it was too early to talk about numbers. 2012

:06:18.:06:22.

are still working out how much this will cost, but they are confident

:06:22.:06:29.

the Olympic budget of �9.3 billion will cover it. There is a separate

:06:29.:06:35.

venue security budget which was put in place to take care of this

:06:35.:06:39.

particular phenomenon. It will go on, but it will fall within the

:06:40.:06:43.

overall �9.3 billion package. just eight months to go, there's

:06:43.:06:47.

clearly still a lot of what to do on security. And the fact is we

:06:47.:06:51.

won't know until after the Games how much the operation will cost

:06:51.:06:58.

As you may have been hearing the prosecution has opened its case in

:06:58.:07:01.

the trial of two men accused of murdering the black student,

:07:01.:07:06.

Stephen Lawrence in south London 18 years ago. The jury at the Old

:07:06.:07:09.

Bailey was told that he was stabbed to death after being surrounded by

:07:09.:07:12.

a gang of white youths. David Norris and Gary Dobson deny murder.

:07:12.:07:18.

Our Home Affairs Correspondent has been in court. The judge himself

:07:18.:07:27.

made some interesting comments? yesterday the judge was saying he

:07:27.:07:32.

was concerned about a great deal of publicity and public comment. Today

:07:32.:07:36.

he said he was determined it would be a fair trial, that he would

:07:36.:07:40.

shield the jury from the relevant, inaccurate and sometimes downright

:07:40.:07:45.

provocative material on social media. But he also referred all

:07:45.:07:49.

warned the jurors that they should ignore last week's TV series, the

:07:49.:07:53.

jury, in which a Girat access to the internet to reach a verdict. He

:07:53.:08:00.

said that was fiction and this is real life. We understand the

:08:00.:08:04.

prosecution's case centres on new scientific evidence. Yes, Mark

:08:04.:08:07.

Ellison QC said that the new scientific evidence pointed the

:08:07.:08:13.

finger at Gary Dobson and David Norris. He said it didn't

:08:13.:08:19.

actually... Conflicted one of the two... Stephen Lawrence... But

:08:19.:08:23.

perhaps they were there, they took part in a joint attack and that

:08:23.:08:27.

they knew one of the group had a weapon. His words have been

:08:27.:08:37.
:08:37.:08:47.

And what have the defence had to say? The defence lawyer, Tim

:08:47.:08:51.

Roberts QC, for Gary Dobson, said that the evidence was unreliable,

:08:51.:08:56.

that the exhibit handing in system was both primitive and fraud, that

:08:56.:09:00.

the whole system for preserving and protecting the clothes of the

:09:00.:09:04.

suspects and Stephen Lawrence over such a long time was unsafe. He

:09:04.:09:07.

said that the packages had been mixed together, that there was a

:09:08.:09:12.

lack of proper record-keeping and that the exhibits were contained in

:09:12.:09:17.

paper bags step down with the sticky tape. -- stepped down with

:09:17.:09:27.
:09:27.:09:31.

He also said that the police were under red huge amount of pressure

:09:31.:09:36.

and that one officer had tampered with the evidence. The defence

:09:36.:09:40.

lawyer said he also shared the concern about this. This trial at

:09:40.:09:47.

the Old Bailey is expected to run until about Christmas. Apologies

:09:47.:09:51.

for the picture problems in that report. The adopted son of Pink

:09:51.:09:53.

Floyd guitarist David Gilmour has been released from prison, four

:09:53.:09:56.

months after he was jailed for violent disorder during last year's

:09:56.:10:00.

student fee protests. Charlie Gilmour was sentenced to 16 months

:10:00.:10:03.

in jail after he was seen swinging from a Union flag on the Cenotaph

:10:03.:10:07.

in Whitehall. He'll now be subject to a curfew and wear an electronic

:10:07.:10:13.

tag. Transport bosses have said if they make changes to the

:10:13.:10:17.

controversial Bow roundabout they will make them before the Olympics.

:10:17.:10:20.

Two cyclists have died on the roundabout in the last three weeks

:10:20.:10:26.

when they collided with HGVs while using cycling superhighways.

:10:26.:10:29.

Yesterday, the widow of Brian Dorling told BBC London that if the

:10:29.:10:33.

junction isn't changed more people will die there. Today, Transport

:10:33.:10:41.

for London told the London Assembly the junction was being reviewed.

:10:41.:10:45.

you are planning any design changes, will that be done ASAP and

:10:45.:10:49.

certainly before the Games? I think it depends on what design changes

:10:49.:10:53.

might be necessary and how quickly they could be done. You obviously

:10:53.:10:57.

wouldn't be able to do very substantial works, but what seems

:10:57.:11:01.

to be appropriate. If things can be done that are suggested by that

:11:01.:11:05.

review then we will do them as quickly as we could. The midwife at

:11:05.:11:08.

the centre of an inquest into the death of a mother and her newborn

:11:09.:11:12.

baby at an East London hospital has told the court that the maternity

:11:12.:11:15.

unit at Queen's Hospital in Romford was understaffed and overworked.

:11:15.:11:19.

Serena Ali died earlier this year after going there to give birth. As

:11:19.:11:22.

recently as last month a health watchdog said that patients at the

:11:22.:11:26.

hospital remain at risk. Let's get more on this now with our

:11:26.:11:30.

correspondent who's outside Queen's Hospital. The first witness was

:11:30.:11:39.

Serena's husband, how did he describe his wife's care? He told

:11:39.:11:42.

the court that he had gone there with his wife for her to be induced,

:11:43.:11:47.

because she was overdue. He said everything seemed normal at first

:11:47.:11:52.

but in the afternoon she complained of a constant pain. So he and her

:11:52.:11:56.

brother had mentioned this several times to the midwives but they'd

:11:56.:12:00.

been fobbed off. They were told this was just part of normal labour.

:12:00.:12:05.

Eventually he was so worried that at 9pm he went to see the midwives

:12:05.:12:08.

yet again. But they said they were too busy to come and check on her

:12:09.:12:13.

because they were doing the handover. She was seen at 9:45pm by

:12:13.:12:17.

a midwife. She tractor and said she was fine. But a few minutes later

:12:17.:12:20.

she collapsed. A crash team had to be called and she had a cardiac

:12:21.:12:25.

arrest. An emergency Caesarean section was carried out to deliver

:12:25.:12:30.

the baby, sadly the baby was stillborn. As for so Reina, she

:12:30.:12:35.

died a few days later in hospital. She had had a ruptured womb during

:12:35.:12:38.

the day which no one had noticed. The court also heard today from one

:12:38.:12:45.

of the midwives, what did she say? We've been hearing from one of the

:12:45.:12:51.

midwives who has been suspended for the present time. She said that

:12:51.:12:54.

Serena Ali didn't get the best possible care. She admitted that

:12:54.:12:58.

routine checks that should have been carried out haven't been. She

:12:58.:13:02.

blamed this on the staff being overworked. She said the antenatal

:13:02.:13:06.

ward had been moved a few days earlier and that before they'd be

:13:06.:13:10.

dealing with five patients a day and now she was dealing with eight

:13:10.:13:13.

patients a day. A hospital denies that the staff were overworked.

:13:13.:13:17.

They say that the problem was really more to do with the staff.

:13:17.:13:22.

As a result, after so Renan Ali's death the midwives were told they

:13:22.:13:26.

had to listen more to patients and respond as quickly as possible to

:13:26.:13:31.

The August riots affected thousands of Londoners, among them many

:13:31.:13:34.

children. Now one group of young people from east and south London

:13:34.:13:38.

have made their own film to help others in the wake of the violence,

:13:38.:13:41.

which they've launched at Scotland Yard. They've been backed by the

:13:41.:13:44.

Association of Chief Police Officers and the emergency services.

:13:44.:13:54.
:13:54.:13:55.

Following the riots, there was discussion around the role of

:13:55.:13:59.

teenagers. Younger children were also affected, many saw the

:13:59.:14:05.

dramatic TV images and in London they were also up by witnesses to

:14:05.:14:12.

what happened. These year five pupils at St Andrews in Streatham

:14:12.:14:19.

are getting a lesson in safety. With the rioting still a recent

:14:19.:14:27.

memory. These saw some of the worst violence and unrest, and the

:14:27.:14:33.

children are still processing it. lot of teenagers running around,

:14:33.:14:39.

and throwing stuff at police. felt scared, because they might

:14:39.:14:45.

come to me. And some of them were quite near me, like Croydon. That

:14:45.:14:50.

sense of shock and unease is explored in a programme dreamt up

:14:50.:14:54.

by Kids Taskforce, which has been adapted to cover this particular

:14:54.:15:01.

issue. You can talk about following your conscience, of where your

:15:01.:15:04.

friends encourage you to do things which may put you at risk. And

:15:04.:15:10.

consequences, if you make the wrong choices. A new video made by some

:15:10.:15:13.

of the children promoting the scheme was launched today at

:15:13.:15:17.

Scotland Yard. For many children it will be the first time in their

:15:17.:15:21.

lives they will have seen that kind of violence, and in their community,

:15:21.:15:27.

by teenagers who are not much older. So they want to be empowered to say,

:15:27.:15:32.

we do not want to see that, what can we do to keep safe? Back at

:15:32.:15:37.

school, that question continues to be discussed. They could take

:15:37.:15:42.

anything from will shop, you don't have a say. So you must have felt

:15:42.:15:47.

upset. It is hoped the scheme will be taken up by more schools in

:15:48.:15:54.

other affected areas. Still to come. From the Elephant

:15:54.:16:03.

and Castle, to Peckham, the Royal Court Theatre takes his projects

:16:03.:16:08.

further afield. And, searching for stags. The real-life deer hunter

:16:08.:16:14.

who's shooting west London's Chelsea Football Club has today

:16:14.:16:17.

condemned a section of its own fans for alleged racist comments in a

:16:17.:16:23.

recent Champions League match. The news comes as their captain John

:16:23.:16:26.

Terry prepares to lead out England for the first time since himself

:16:26.:16:30.

being accused of racism, an accusation he denies. Chris Slegg

:16:30.:16:35.

is at Wembley Stadium, ahead of tonight's match against Sweden.

:16:35.:16:45.

What have Chelsea said today? Chelsea are today looking into

:16:45.:16:49.

reclaim one of their own fans racially abused one of their own

:16:49.:16:55.

players in a Championship lead match earlier this month. --

:16:55.:17:03.

Champions League match. This is the player involved. Fabio Capello

:17:03.:17:08.

continuing his preparations for Euro 2012. When he came on as

:17:08.:17:16.

substitute, a Chelsea fan was heard to make a racist remark, which so

:17:16.:17:20.

enraged another Chelsea supporter that he e-mailed the club. The club

:17:20.:17:25.

are also looking at racist chanting by a larger group of its fans about

:17:25.:17:33.

a QPR defender, and on Ferdinand. He is saying John Terry is alleged

:17:33.:17:37.

to have racially abused him. When it comes to the fans, Chelsea's say

:17:37.:17:41.

they will take the strongest possible action against anyone

:17:41.:17:47.

participating in that chanting. mentioned John Terry. What is the

:17:47.:17:54.

latest? John Terry returned to the England fold today. Still the

:17:54.:17:59.

subject of separate investigations by the Metropolitan Police and

:17:59.:18:04.

Football Association, claims he racially abused Ferdinand on 23rd

:18:04.:18:09.

October. He maintains his innocence, saying he has received support from

:18:09.:18:13.

people all over the world. We should get a better idea of the

:18:13.:18:19.

public mood at Wembley tonight. He didn't play against Spain. Fabio

:18:19.:18:23.

Capello said it was because he wanted to try out other defenders.

:18:23.:18:28.

It could be some weeks before we learn whether either investigation

:18:28.:18:33.

decides John Terry has a case to answer. Chelsea are promising to

:18:33.:18:38.

root out racist behaviour among fans, they will be hoping their own

:18:38.:18:44.

Fran -- captain is cleared of the same allegations.

:18:44.:18:47.

It's been a part of Sloane Square for hundreds of years. But now the

:18:48.:18:50.

Royal Court Theatre is attempting to attract new audiences right

:18:50.:18:53.

across the capital. After performing in an empty shop in

:18:53.:18:56.

Elephant and Castle, they've now taken over a former cricket bat

:18:56.:18:59.

factory in Peckham as our arts correspondent Brenda Emmanus

:18:59.:19:06.

explains. Him at the end of the bar hasn't

:19:06.:19:15.

taken his eyes off you. He is wearing a suit. Subtle! He is white.

:19:15.:19:21.

A bit of female banter. A new play by a young writer which has its

:19:21.:19:25.

premiere in Peckham could see of the Royal Court Theatre. Part of

:19:25.:19:29.

the theatre's mission to take plays out to new audiences in local

:19:29.:19:35.

communities. I am getting people coming to the theatre who wouldn't.

:19:35.:19:40.

That is the best ever. Young 16- year-old teenagers coming up to me,

:19:40.:19:44.

oh my God, how did you do this? That is brilliant we are reaching

:19:44.:19:52.

out. The Royal Court Theatre's first foray was in an empty unit in

:19:52.:19:57.

the Elephant & Castle shopping centre. Now they are in Peckham for

:19:57.:20:03.

this state-of-the-nation play. There is a riot going on. But you

:20:03.:20:10.

behave like this. Make no mistake, this isn't because the Royal Court

:20:10.:20:16.

Theatre it isn't making money. It is doing very well. This is really

:20:16.:20:21.

that the Royal Court Theatre is doing so well that they are able to

:20:22.:20:26.

create other avenues for their work to be appreciated. This building

:20:26.:20:32.

was previously a factory which made cricket bats. It is now at the

:20:32.:20:37.

centre of a growing cultural hub which was saved by the mission by a

:20:37.:20:47.
:20:47.:20:48.

community group and a creative arts business. Theatre to made his a

:20:48.:20:51.

place where people can come together and enjoy stories, learn

:20:51.:20:57.

from each other. It is crucial companies like the Royal Court

:20:57.:21:03.

Theatre go out and let the people see something different. Your dad

:21:03.:21:09.

had a gift for lying. The IM nothing like him, I hate him.

:21:09.:21:15.

play runs until this Saturday. In some of London's parks, stags are

:21:15.:21:19.

still a familiar sight. And amongst the people getting a glimpse of the

:21:19.:21:22.

majestic animals is a man who has made it his personal mission to
