day. That is it for now. -- festivities. On BBC One we join the | :00:06. | :00:15. | |
Good evening, from BBC London News. "We want the person who did this to | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
give themselves up." The words of the family of Veronica Chango- | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
Alavrez, who was killed after being hit by a car as she stood at a bus | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
stop in Streatham, on her way to work. The 31 year old died of | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
multiple injuries. Police are trying to trace a 27-year-old man | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
in connection with the incident. Our reporter, Gareth Furby, is at | :00:34. | :00:42. | |
the scene. The victim's family has gathered | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
inside the house behind me, the mother's house. The plan was for a | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
family celebration of Christmas but tonight, Christmas Eve after what | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
has happened is all about offering each other comfort. | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
There is little left of where she was waiting, but that can be | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
rebuilt, unlike the happiness of her family who were preparing to | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
spend Christmas together. But at about 5:30am on Saturday, Veronica | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
Chango-Alavrez walked out of her mother's house to catch a bus. The | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
stop is just outside the door. just heard a big bang like an | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
explosion. The she was really badly hurt and there was nothing we could | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
do. In a few miles away along a London Road, evidence of an earlier | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
crash and one theory is two cars may have been racing. A driver of a | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
Folkes Fardon was injured here but another driver in an Audi continues | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
-- Volkswagen. It crashed into the stop and ran off. I think that | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
person needs to pay for what he did to our family because he ruined our | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
family. Be only think the family wants is these guys to come -- the | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
only thing. To come clean and to give themselves up and go to the | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
police and accept they killed someone. This is one of the last | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
pictures the family have a Veronica, on the right. It was taking a week | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
before the crash as she celebrated her mother's birthdays. My memory | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
is when we were celebrating together, she came here on Friday | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
to celebrate Christmas. She was going to bring a turkey from the | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
hotel because they give her one every Christmas. | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
Tonight, police issued this picture of the man they want to speak to. | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
Nathan Davis has been linked to the Audi car involved in the collision. | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
Police also want to talk to anybody who saw this man. If you want -- if | :02:56. | :03:06. | |
you can help, call for non- emergency line 101. The family are | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
also saying they will try to get through this, but at this time of | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
year, it will be exceptionally difficult. | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
A Met Police officer has been praised, after disarming a man with | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
a samurai sword who had attacked a woman in North London. The sergeant | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
was called to Holloway Road in the early hours of this morning. The | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
22-year-old victim is in a serious condition in hospital. | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
Hundreds of foreign students claim they are stranded in the capital | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
this Christmas, after they surrendered their passports to the | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
UK Border Agency. They are all connected to the London | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
Metropolitan University, which was stopped from teaching international | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
students earlier this year. Emma North reports. | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
Nick Refuerzo had planned to be home with his family in California | :03:47. | :03:57. | |
:03:57. | :03:59. | ||
for Christmas. We are Filipino so it is all about family. We are | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
different ages so it is nice to have everybody under one roof. | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Nick is one of hundreds caught up after London Metropolitain | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
University was stopped from teaching foreign students. He is | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
enrolled at the London Film School, but the school is affiliated to the | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
Met, so Nick had to send off his passport to apply for a fresh visa | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
to continue his studies. More than a month later, the passport has | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
still not come back. I do not understand why it takes so | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
long, honestly. It is just a matter of sending in the documentation on | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
times. However, what angers them is not the delay, but the difficulty | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
claimants have had getting information from the UK Border | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
Agency. We needed for them to get new visas | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
which we did quickly, but around November, nobody was answering the | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
phones. It is not good for business and running international education | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
in the UK. The UK Border Agency has not supplied individual information | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
but a spokesperson said it has already sent out passports to | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
anybody who applied for one before last Thursday. This is of little | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
use to Nick. Even if his passport does arrive, there are no | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
affordable flights back home, and none would get him there in time. | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
Christmas will be spent with others in the same situation, taking | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
comfort from the fact they are stranded together. | :05:19. | :05:28. | |
Father Christmas should have a smooth ride tonight, a dry night | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
with just a few showers in places. Temperatures down to around six, | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
seven degrees Celsius. Other Christmas morning, a few showers, | :05:38. | :05:45. | |
mostly light, some heavy, but it should be a dry finish to the day. | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
Temperatures a bit colder with highs of 8, 9 Celsius. The best | :05:50. | :05:54. |
