:00:18. > :00:21.protesters, allegations are made of anti-social behaviour. Legal papers
:00:21. > :00:27.just released paint a grim picture of what a minority of activists
:00:27. > :00:30.have been getting up to here. tonight, a group set up to oversee
:00:30. > :00:36.the investigation into the shooting dead of Mark Duggan by police
:00:36. > :00:39.collapses. One of its former members speaks out. When you see
:00:39. > :00:45.that they are air brushing the facts away, by the time you get to
:00:45. > :00:48.the end, you're going to get a whitewashed report. Plus, the Mayor
:00:48. > :00:57.urges business leaders to get on board with his plans for a new
:00:57. > :01:07.London airport. And from children's story to successful stage

:01:12. > :01:17.production, Matilda opens in the Good evening. Protesters camping
:01:17. > :01:21.outside St Paul's have been accused of taking illegal drugs, spraying
:01:21. > :01:25.graffiti and even using the ancient cathedral as a toilet. The
:01:25. > :01:28.allegations are contained in court papers from the City of London
:01:28. > :01:32.Corporation, which once anti- capitalist demonstrators to be
:01:32. > :01:36.evicted. They also claim income from local businesses has fallen by
:01:36. > :01:43.more than a third since the protests began a month ago. Paraic
:01:43. > :01:46.O'Brien is at St Paul's. Yes, the camp was basking in the glow of
:01:47. > :01:51.celebrity attention over the weekend. Vivienne Westwood was down
:01:52. > :01:55.here on Saturday, voicing her support, and this morning, film
:01:56. > :02:01.director Danny Boyle came and stood shoulder to shoulder with activists.
:02:01. > :02:08.Then, the detail of the legal papers started to leak out, and put
:02:08. > :02:13.something of a dampener on the mood here. This, according to activists,
:02:13. > :02:19.is what democracy looks like. It is also beginning to look like a
:02:19. > :02:22.microcosm of society, complete with its very own activist underclass.
:02:22. > :02:27.Witness statements in papers released by the Corporation of
:02:27. > :02:31.London paint a grim picture of what some here are getting up to. A
:02:31. > :02:34.statement from a City of London police officer, for example, says
:02:34. > :02:39.of the initial drug and alcohol free policy, they have not been
:02:39. > :02:47.able to enforce it. In one tent this evening, five people were
:02:47. > :02:52.smoking cannabis. How is the no drug policy going? Terrible,
:02:52. > :02:59.actually! You are trusting more and more vulnerable people. That is a
:02:59. > :03:03.problem, isn't it? We have got counsellors and means to help these
:03:03. > :03:07.people. These people are often homeless, they have got addictions,
:03:07. > :03:13.they have been marginalised by society. Then there is a letter
:03:13. > :03:16.from the cathedral's registrar, who says over half of school trips have
:03:16. > :03:20.says over half of school trips have been cancelled since 15th October.
:03:20. > :03:24.He describes several instances of graffiti as a direct consequence of
:03:24. > :03:30.the camp, including a sacrilegious message painted on the pillars of
:03:30. > :03:33.the West portico. He then explains how human the vocation has occurred
:03:33. > :03:36.inside the cathedral on several occasions. In another witness
:03:36. > :03:40.statement, the director of social services for the Corporation of
:03:40. > :03:44.London describes the camp as good natured and well-organised, but
:03:44. > :03:49.warns that there are more and more vulnerable people showing up, in
:03:49. > :03:51.part attracted by the free food. part attracted by the free food.
:03:51. > :03:55.The camp of mack legal team refuted claims today.
:03:55. > :04:00.All I can say on behalf of the client is that those matters will
:04:00. > :04:04.be strenuously refuted. Many of the accusations are without basis, on
:04:04. > :04:08.our instructions, and we look forward to making that building.
:04:09. > :04:15.These legal papers contain a survey of local businesses, and the
:04:15. > :04:19.corporation says their takings are down by about 35%. A judge will
:04:19. > :04:27.eventually try to balance the the Government to protest with the
:04:27. > :04:31.rights of the highway. For many here, the legal detail is something
:04:31. > :04:34.of a sideshow, for them, it is all about the issues and getting to
:04:34. > :04:39.talk to the right people about those issues. And they are making
:04:39. > :04:42.some headway. We have found out that the head of the Financial
:04:42. > :04:50.Services Authority has agreed to meet a small group of activists in
:04:50. > :05:00.the near future. What's more to come tonight, including, why moving
:05:00. > :05:03.
:05:03. > :05:06.to a better part of London might This man's death at the hands of
:05:07. > :05:10.police sparked the riots three months ago. The shooting of Mark
:05:10. > :05:15.Duggan and the subsequent investigation has been criticised
:05:15. > :05:17.by the community in Tottenham. Now, a panel set up by the Independent
:05:17. > :05:20.Police Complaints Commission to maintain confidence in the
:05:20. > :05:24.investigation has effectively collapsed after two of its three
:05:24. > :05:29.members resigned. They called into question the way key evidence was
:05:30. > :05:33.handled. Our special correspondent, Kurt Barling, reports. The
:05:33. > :05:39.investigation has been dogged by controversy from the start. Now,
:05:39. > :05:44.the consumer -- community reference group, which had been liaising with
:05:44. > :05:46.the IPCC, is questioning why key evidence was removed from the
:05:46. > :05:52.location of the shooting before investigators even arrived on the
:05:52. > :05:57.scene. The minicab that Mark had been travelling in, in effect,
:05:57. > :06:02.almost a crime scene, it had been removed, taken off to some police
:06:02. > :06:06.pound, then returned to the scene, and this causes me great concern.
:06:06. > :06:11.Now, we are three months into the investigation, and we are told that
:06:11. > :06:15.in fact the IPCC sanctioned the removal of the minicab before the
:06:15. > :06:21.IPCC even got to the scene. That really goes to the heart of whether
:06:21. > :06:26.or not this organisation is truly independent. I understand that both
:06:26. > :06:29.critical forensic and ballistics material was subsequently found in
:06:29. > :06:34.the minicab in question. The collection, presentation and
:06:34. > :06:38.preservation of evidence lies at the heart of any legal process. The
:06:38. > :06:44.integrity of any investigation relies on no contamination.
:06:44. > :06:49.should not be moved unless it is being photographed, recorded, and
:06:49. > :06:52.evidence which can be taken, removed. Secondly, you should not
:06:52. > :07:01.allow for the possibility of contamination, and the risk is
:07:01. > :07:05.raised, if you move objects, that there could be contamination.
:07:05. > :07:11.with two resignations from the community reference group, there is
:07:11. > :07:17.in effect no community liaison with the IPCC. I felt compelled to
:07:17. > :07:21.remove myself when I started to hear that what was going on was
:07:21. > :07:24.basically a tainted investigation, and at worst possibly a corrupt
:07:24. > :07:34.investigation. I felt morally compelled to remove myself from
:07:34. > :07:45.
:07:45. > :07:48.that, I want no part of it. In the end, an I PCC investigation,
:07:48. > :07:51.particularly where there has been a death at the hands of the state,
:07:51. > :07:59.need to satisfy the family and the community that police action was
:07:59. > :08:03.lawful. Tonight, the mechanism for sharing information, gauging
:08:03. > :08:09.community opinion and brokering Trust has broken down, without any
:08:09. > :08:14.clear idea of how to replace it. The beckack claims Britain faces
:08:14. > :08:21."economic stagnation" unless another major airport is built in
:08:21. > :08:25.south-east England. Boris Johnson has long been arguing for a new hub
:08:25. > :08:30.in the Thames Estuary, after ministers ruled out new runways at
:08:30. > :08:34.current airports. But some economists have criticised his
:08:34. > :08:37.plans as incomplete. The Institute of Directors says the UK's
:08:37. > :08:43.transport infrastructure is now a "complete disaster". Fog at
:08:43. > :08:47.Heathrow affected weekend flights. Elsewhere, a clear vision of where
:08:47. > :08:54.aviation is going in London is still a long way off. The Mayor
:08:54. > :08:57.wants another hub airport in the Thames Estuary. If wealth and power
:08:57. > :09:04.shifts to the east, the constrictions of London's hub
:09:04. > :09:10.airport are becoming more apparent and more damaging. But would
:09:10. > :09:15.central government over back such an expensive, �50 billion project?
:09:15. > :09:19.Today, we read in the Times that ministers are refusing to back it -
:09:19. > :09:25.what do you make of the support you're getting from government?
:09:25. > :09:29.very encouraged by the way the debate has moved, and if you
:09:29. > :09:34.consider where we were a few years ago, this was something that was
:09:34. > :09:38.being pretty much ruled out. Of course you have now got mutterings
:09:38. > :09:43.from the Government, at the very least, that they are looking on
:09:43. > :09:50.this with favour. The Mayor's report spells out how London is at
:09:50. > :09:55.a disadvantage because of a lack of trade routes. To China, Heathrow
:09:55. > :09:59.has 9,000 seats a week, serving two destinations. But Frankfurt has
:09:59. > :10:04.destinations. But Frankfurt has destinations. But Frankfurt has
:10:04. > :10:06.nearly double that, at 17,500 seats, and serves four destinations.
:10:06. > :10:11.think insufficient priority has been given to this issue by
:10:11. > :10:15.successive governments. The fact is, our transport infrastructure in
:10:15. > :10:18.terms of the airport is a "complete disaster". We are way behind France
:10:18. > :10:23.and other countries, we are becoming quite a long way behind
:10:23. > :10:28.Germany and Spain. We have got to do something, urgently. This was
:10:28. > :10:33.Norman Foster's vision of a hub airport in the estuary. Economists
:10:33. > :10:37.now say the Mayor's project does not deal with the here-and-now.
:10:37. > :10:45.have not got the costings, as was pointed out. You have not got
:10:45. > :10:49.estimated profits. It is these -- it is easy to sit around and say,
:10:49. > :10:53.well funds will provide us with money. That is what the Europeans
:10:53. > :10:57.said. The well funds have wealth because they do not squander their
:10:57. > :11:03.wealth. If you have a hard headed business proposition, then it will
:11:03. > :11:08.be OK. Environmentalists say the Mayor is scaremongering, and a new
:11:08. > :11:13.airport would have a devastating environmental impact. But without a
:11:13. > :11:17.bigger hub, the Mayor says London faces "economic stagnation". Four
:11:17. > :11:21.people have been arrested after suspected human remains were found
:11:21. > :11:30.in a residential garden in south- east London. The discovery was made
:11:30. > :11:36.yesterday morning by officers searching the home in Lynsted
:11:36. > :11:39.Gardens. Three people remain in police custody. More now on the
:11:39. > :11:43.Stephen Lawrence trial. As we have been hearing, the police officers

:11:52. > :11:57.the death of the 18-year-old in south-east London have been
:11:57. > :12:01.questioned about the forensics. Our correspondent is at the Old Bailey.
:12:01. > :12:06.What happened today? We had a detailed examination of how the
:12:06. > :12:10.evidence was handled back in 1993. The bloodstained clothes of Stephen
:12:10. > :12:13.Lawrence were shown to the jury, including his jacket, jumper and T-
:12:13. > :12:17.shirt. We heard about the journey those clothes made from the
:12:18. > :12:25.hospital, where they were cut off from the body of Stephen Lawrence,
:12:25. > :12:30.by a nurse, before being backed, before heading to Plumstead police
:12:30. > :12:33.station. They then went on to sow the police station, where the
:12:33. > :12:38.clothes had to be dried, because they were soaked in blood. Finally
:12:38. > :12:43.they went to another police station, followed by a laboratory in Lambeth,
:12:43. > :12:47.five locations within a week of the murder. We also heard that none of
:12:47. > :12:52.the officers were absolutely sure whether some of the bags had been
:12:52. > :13:02.sealed or not. At the heart of this case to for any new scientific

:13:10. > :13:16.on new scientific evidence, allegedly found on the clothing of
:13:16. > :13:22.Gary Dobson and David Norris. The defence say that evidence is
:13:22. > :13:28.contaminated. We also heard from Robert Crane, the exhibits officer
:13:28. > :13:33.at the time, who said there are no formal procedures to prevent cross
:13:33. > :13:37.examination, and he had no formal training although he had 19 years
:13:37. > :13:41.of experience. We've all heard of parents
:13:41. > :13:44.struggling to move to a different part of London in the hope it'll
:13:44. > :13:47.get their children a better education. But it's a risky
:13:47. > :13:49.strategy, according to a report by a thinktank. According to the
:13:50. > :13:53.Centre for London, children from more deprived backgrounds often do
:13:53. > :14:01.better if they attend school there, rather than moving to a richer
:14:01. > :14:05.borough. Paul Curran reports. The Haringey's sixth-form centre is
:14:05. > :14:10.in Tottenham. Three-quarters of students were eligible for the
:14:10. > :14:18.maintenance allowance. Despite their background, many make it to

:14:33. > :14:40.would go to university. My parents did not think so either. Now I have
:14:40. > :14:45.changed things around. The key is around the aspirations and
:14:45. > :14:49.expectations the institution has for its students and support.
:14:49. > :14:54.Research suggests background does not have to be a barrier to
:14:54. > :14:59.academic success. Poor students are just as likely to go to university
:14:59. > :15:07.as well off ones. But it is complicated. In a richer areas,
:15:07. > :15:10.poorer students do not do as well. School leadership is crucial, so is
:15:11. > :15:18.high aspirations for all young people, and close links with
:15:18. > :15:24.universities, employers, and other key stakeholders. One education
:15:24. > :15:31.expert agrees schools played a key role. What really is the key to
:15:31. > :15:35.participation is for kids to get A- levels, and the government needs to

:16:25. > :16:31.Our sports reporter Sara Orchard is here. What happened last night?
:16:31. > :16:34.the World anti-doping but Doherty held a meeting in Canada, and they
:16:34. > :16:40.decided the British Olympic Association ban on the drug cheats
:16:40. > :16:45.ever competing at an Olympics does not comply with their global rules.
:16:45. > :16:51.It is an athlete like Dwain Chambers could compete at 2012. He
:16:51. > :16:58.was banned from athletics in 2003 for two years after testing
:16:59. > :17:06.positive. He, along with others, could now realise their Olympic
:17:06. > :17:10.dream. What is the reaction from the BOA and athletes? Most have
:17:10. > :17:15.come out and said they want to maintain their current stance and
:17:15. > :17:19.continue with the Olympic ban. One voice which came out strongly was
:17:19. > :17:28.that of one heptathlete who said what she wants is a global standard
:17:28. > :17:33.on the issue. I think firstly it should be one rule for everyone.
:17:33. > :17:37.Across the world. That is really important. It's not for athletes to
:17:37. > :17:40.decide, it is down to the Association of Chief Police
:17:40. > :17:47.Officers and the anti-doping authority. Hopefully they will make
:17:48. > :17:53.the right decision. What happens next? Technically, the organisation
:17:53. > :17:57.could ban all British athletes from competing in 2012. This is very
:17:57. > :18:00.unlikely. The Association of Chief Police Officers has the full
:18:00. > :18:08.backing of the International Olympic Committee. They will take
:18:09. > :18:16.their case -- beat British Olympic Association has the full backing of
:18:16. > :18:20.the International Olympic Committee. If you cast your mind back to
:18:20. > :18:25.Beijing, Atlanta, Sydney and Barcelona, you will probably
:18:25. > :18:29.picture dramatic images of sporting events against the back drops of
:18:29. > :18:33.the host city. Next year's Games will provide a great opportunity to
:18:33. > :18:41.show off our capital to the world. Maxwell Hutchinson has been
:18:41. > :18:47.speaking to those responsible for putting London in the frame.
:18:47. > :18:51.Earth has not anything to show more fair. So wrote Wordsworth in his

:18:59. > :19:04.from here, as he saw it in 1802. Today, the skyline looks very
:19:04. > :19:08.different but it remains iconic. He simply could not be anywhere else
:19:08. > :19:12.in the world but London. Which is why the organisers for next year's
:19:12. > :19:18.Olympics are going to so much trouble to make the capital's
:19:18. > :19:26.skyline backdrop to London 2012. These are some of your photographs
:19:26. > :19:30.in famous magazines? Yes, this is the biggest magazine for sport.
:19:30. > :19:37.experience as a sports photographer is in hot demand which is why the

:19:42. > :19:46.Games. My job is to make sure everything is in place for the
:19:46. > :19:52.attending photographers. Everyone will be looking for a picture
:19:52. > :19:56.showing the Olympics has started in London. A part of his job is

:20:07. > :20:16.going to put 22,000 people in this area. We have a three-sided seating
:20:16. > :20:20.area, the Queen's House. The power of the Games to sell London to the
:20:20. > :20:26.world has been recognised by the organisers right from the start.
:20:26. > :20:31.set a very clear vision, use London as the backdrop to our Games and
:20:31. > :20:36.showcase our famous landmarks. You may remember the big pictures we
:20:36. > :20:41.produced with fantastic images of show jumpers over Buckingham Palace.
:20:41. > :20:47.And athlete hurdling over Tower Bridge. We want to capture that in
:20:47. > :20:52.the Games. It is hard work ensuring London features on the front pages
:20:52. > :20:58.of the world's newspapers and magazines next year. Here is a shot
