:00:26. > :00:27.Birmingham? I've never set foot in Birmingham in my life. I've always

:01:01. > :01:05.Good evening. When changes to housing benefit were
:01:06. > :01:09.first introduced, some feared it could mean hundreds of families
:01:10. > :01:12.being forced to leave London. The Mayor, Boris Johnson, was quick to
:01:13. > :01:14.say he wouldn't accept the "Kosovo`style social cleansing" of
:01:15. > :01:17.the capital. But now, figures obtained by this programme reveal
:01:18. > :01:21.that, in one borough alone, more than 500 families could be sent to
:01:22. > :01:27.live in other parts of the country because of changes to their
:01:28. > :01:30.benefits, and the housing shortage. Tower Hamlets says it's struggling
:01:31. > :01:32.to cope with people unable to pay their rent, and the borough's not
:01:33. > :01:36.alone. More than half of London's alone. More than half of London s
:01:37. > :01:38.councils think the situation is actually going to get worse. Our
:01:39. > :01:48.special correspondent Kurt Barling has this exclusive report.
:01:49. > :01:55.Tower Hamlets has long been a very mixed community with one of the
:01:56. > :01:59.highest ratios of public housing in London. But, with friends in the
:02:00. > :02:04.private sector rising, it is seeing an increasing number of people
:02:05. > :02:09.chasing a declining stock of affordable housing. It's now hit
:02:10. > :02:14.crisis point. The council say they really fear next year they will have
:02:15. > :02:20.to move up to 500 households out of London. Because there is a lack of
:02:21. > :02:28.affordable housing and a raft of changes in welfare benefits. This
:02:29. > :02:31.man and his young family were evicted from private rented
:02:32. > :02:36.accommodation because the landlord wanted to sell. His family has been
:02:37. > :02:40.put in temporary accommodation by Tower Hamlets in an outer London
:02:41. > :02:43.borough, even though his children remain in school in Tower Hamlets.
:02:44. > :02:49.When we went to homeless people, When we went to homeless people,
:02:50. > :02:57.they said we have six weeks, if we can't manage within six weeks,
:02:58. > :03:00.within 12 weeks they would provide temporary accommodation within the
:03:01. > :03:06.Borough of Tower Hamlets. Now it is more than 12 weeks but we are on the
:03:07. > :03:13.transfer list at number say, we don't know when we'll get another
:03:14. > :03:16.property in Tower Hamlets. Tower Hamlets has the largest council
:03:17. > :03:21.house building programme in London, but even it is struggling to cope
:03:22. > :03:26.with increasing demand. To date we have not placed families outside in
:03:27. > :03:29.Birmingham or Northampton because we are committed to bringing back our
:03:30. > :03:35.families who have been placed outside from the Borough on the
:03:36. > :03:37.outskirts, to bring them back in. To place a family in Birmingham or
:03:38. > :03:40.Northampton disrupts their life. place a family in Birmingham or
:03:41. > :03:49.Northampton disrupts their life The situation in Tower and let's is not
:03:50. > :03:50.unique, 30 London councils said they had sent families to Bradford,
:03:51. > :03:57.Birmingham and Peterborough, and many be housed in the hand `` the
:03:58. > :04:03.Home Counties. 931 families were placed in temporary accommodation
:04:04. > :04:08.outside London. But now, authorities like new have taken the next step,
:04:09. > :04:14.offering people permanent homes in other cities. This woman is a single
:04:15. > :04:19.parent with epilepsy and lost her home when the landlord wanted to
:04:20. > :04:25.move back in. She has been offered a place by new council in Birmingham.
:04:26. > :04:28.I froze and burst into tears. Why are you going to send me to
:04:29. > :04:36.Birmingham? I have never been there. I have always been here. New told us
:04:37. > :04:42.the case was being reviewed but said she had refused the home in
:04:43. > :04:47.Birmingham without viewing it. Plenty say they understand the
:04:48. > :04:53.problem with housing. We're not saying we want to be in the same bit
:04:54. > :04:58.of London but we want to work around this and unable to get our children
:04:59. > :05:02.to school. Plenty of people are prepared to commute. Moving someone
:05:03. > :05:06.outside London where they have to start a new school and taking them
:05:07. > :05:12.away totally from their support network is another thing. Much of
:05:13. > :05:17.the burden is falling on councils in the capital. In Slough, they have
:05:18. > :05:26.rehoused 77 families from other areas. 22 councils have sent people
:05:27. > :05:31.here but this has been criticised. We are an authority which has picked
:05:32. > :05:36.up the pieces. We have huge pressure on housing anyway, a huge waiting
:05:37. > :05:42.list. We are tightening up policies to promote local need rather than
:05:43. > :05:46.taking people from other boroughs. The government says it has given
:05:47. > :06:03.more money to councils to avoid drastic action.
:06:04. > :06:10.The situation may get worse before it gets better. 18 out of London's
:06:11. > :06:15.councils told us they couldn't roll out sending families out of London.

:06:34. > :06:38.Police in the Arab state of Qatar say they've arrested several
:06:39. > :06:40.suspects, believed to be in connection with the disappearance of
:06:41. > :06:45.a primary school teacher from London. 24`year`old Lauren
:06:46. > :06:48.Patterson, from Chislehurst, was reportedly last seen leaving a hotel
:06:49. > :06:53.in Doha at the weekend. Our reporter Helen Drew is following
:06:54. > :06:58.developments. Details about what happened seem to be very thin on the
:06:59. > :07:04.ground. The foreign office won't confirm
:07:05. > :07:09.anything but they will say Lauren Patterson is missing and they are
:07:10. > :07:13.providing her family with support. But on the website of the Ministry
:07:14. > :07:18.of interior in Qatar, they say police have made several arrests of
:07:19. > :07:22.people in connection with the murder of a European woman. Lauren
:07:23. > :07:27.Patterson was in Doha where she worked as a primary school teacher,
:07:28. > :07:32.starting her third year. There were reports she was last seen leaving a
:07:33. > :07:36.nightclub of a 5`star hotel in the early hours of Saturday morning.
:07:37. > :07:41.Some reports say she was seen leaving with a group of men, others
:07:42. > :07:46.with a single friend. What about the family of Lauren Patterson? A
:07:47. > :07:50.difficult time for them. It is thought her mother has flown
:07:51. > :07:57.out to Doha. She has posted a message saying her daughter was a
:07:58. > :08:01.truly remarkable girl. She calls her her rock, always there for everyone
:08:02. > :08:06.else. She says she knows her is in heaven in her daddy 's arms. It is
:08:07. > :08:12.thought her mother has said Loren was having such a great time in
:08:13. > :08:16.Doha, the time of her life. And offered a job in Hong Kong recently
:08:17. > :08:20.but she turned that down because she enjoyed Doha so much. She is thought
:08:21. > :08:25.to have said she will stay in Doha to see justice done for her
:08:26. > :08:28.daughter. Around three`quarters of London's
:08:29. > :08:32.schools have been forced to close or cancel lessons, after thousands of
:08:33. > :08:35.teachers walked out on strike. Members of the National Union of
:08:36. > :08:40.Teachers and NASUWT took industrial action over pay, pensions and
:08:41. > :08:43.working conditions. Our reporter Sonja Jessup followed a teacher from

:08:53. > :09:02.Breakfast time. But there is no school today for these two
:09:03. > :09:06.children. Their mum is a teacher and today she is on strike. Her children
:09:07. > :09:12.are going on a protest march with her. Do you know where we are
:09:13. > :09:18.marching today? The government will make it worse. A single month
:09:19. > :09:23.weaving in Hornchurch, Caroline says life is increasingly expensive and
:09:24. > :09:28.says performance related pay reforms will not work. If I am going to be
:09:29. > :09:33.judged on my results, I will want to teach children I know will get good
:09:34. > :09:41.marks. I don't think schools should operate like that. She is also
:09:42. > :09:44.worried about changes to pensions, saying it is unrealistic to expect
:09:45. > :09:51.teachers still to be teaching aged 68. Across London, thousands of
:09:52. > :09:57.others agreed, turning out to March, leaving many of the classroom
:09:58. > :10:01.is empty. The government described the strike as disappointing and
:10:02. > :10:09.disruptive. The reforms we are having to make which are difficult
:10:10. > :10:13.at Cherry `` are actually necessary. They are part of making sure we can
:10:14. > :10:21.continue with these good salary related pensions in future, if they
:10:22. > :10:25.are affordable and fair. Some parents were frustrated by school
:10:26. > :10:29.closures. Some lucky that grandparents stepped in. She was
:10:30. > :10:37.lucky I was here. She is a nurse working 12 hours. It's not
:10:38. > :10:43.practical. Half term is next week. I would prefer them to be at school. I
:10:44. > :10:49.have had to take time off. What I would say to those parents because I
:10:50. > :10:54.am a parent myself is, the attacks on teachers are an attack on
:10:55. > :10:59.students. Unhappy teachers make unhappy students. The union
:11:00. > :11:02.estimates as many as 15,000 teachers joined their march today. Caroline

:11:26. > :11:31.More than 24 hours after a convicted killer escaped from a mental health
:11:32. > :11:34.centre in Hackney, police are still urgently trying to track him down.
:11:35. > :11:37.Lerone Boye was convicted of murdering a teenager, he stabbed to
:11:38. > :11:41.death in Ilford two years ago. He was sent to the John Howard Centre
:11:42. > :11:44.in Hackney, from where he ran away yesterday afternoon. Our reporter
:11:45. > :11:53.Tara Welsh is following the hunt for killer.
:11:54. > :11:58.Lerone Boye was part of a gang who stabbed a 17`year`old boy to death.
:11:59. > :12:02.He was given the longest sentence, and ordered to serve a minimum of 28
:12:03. > :12:06.years. He was just ten months into that sentence when he escaped from
:12:07. > :12:09.the unit yesterday. Boye is 27 years old, about 5ft 10in and has a
:12:10. > :12:16.horseshoe`shaped scar on his right cheek, and he has links to the
:12:17. > :12:18.Ilford area. What's the centre saying about a
:12:19. > :12:22.killer escaping from their unit? What's the centre saying about a
:12:23. > :12:26.killer escaping from their unit The centre is run by the East London
:12:27. > :12:31.NHS. It won't tell us how he escaped, for security reasons. But
:12:32. > :12:34.it has launched investigation into what happened, and says it's
:12:35. > :12:40.reviewed its security and processes. Another patient escaped last year,
:12:41. > :12:43.and was caught. Other patients have absconded .That means, rather than
:12:44. > :12:47.break out of the building, like Boye has, they just haven't come back
:12:48. > :12:52.from release in to the community, which some patients are allowed In
:12:53. > :12:55.fact, one of those hasn't returned since August. But tonight, the
:12:56. > :12:58.police's priority is to catch the convicted murderer Lerone Boye.
:12:59. > :12:59.They've said anyone that sees him shouldn't approach him, but should
:13:00. > :13:11.call 999. Boris Johnson has visited Hong
:13:12. > :13:14.Kong's International Airport, not to catch a flight, but to get further
:13:15. > :13:18.inspiration for his plan for an airport in the Thames estuary. The
:13:19. > :13:22.Mayor praised the fact that planes can operate in Hong Kong 24 hours a
:13:23. > :13:25.day, as they come in from the sea, away from people's homes. But when
:13:26. > :13:28.it comes to the future of aviation in London, a number of questions
:13:29. > :13:34.remain answered. Our political editor Tim Donovan is travelling
:13:35. > :13:39.with the Mayor. Look at the size of that airport. He
:13:40. > :13:46.imagines what could happen back home one day. Hong Kong airport, built on
:13:47. > :13:50.land reclaimed from Sea, on a platform seven metres above it, a
:13:51. > :13:56.huge construction task which took just six years. He was impressed
:13:57. > :14:02.with what he saw, and pleased with what he heard. How quickly were you
:14:03. > :14:07.able to get it built? Very quickly. Away from the densely populated
:14:08. > :14:10.centre, aeroplanes fly in and out 24 hours a day. The London Mayor
:14:11. > :14:15.believes it would be short`sighted not to follow suit. If you have the
:14:16. > :14:20.will and determination, you can do it. I was amazed to see someone in
:14:21. > :14:24.government saying we can't possibly build a new airport, that's a
:14:25. > :14:29.Chinese thing to do. The Chinese are showing us that is the approach you
:14:30. > :14:35.need in future. Aviation count the 60% of Hong Kong's economic output.
:14:36. > :14:40.In Hong Kong, the switch from the old to the new airport literally
:14:41. > :14:45.happened overnight. Only now, 15 years later, are they addressing how
:14:46. > :14:49.to redevelop the old site. The London Mayor nose for a new airport
:14:50. > :14:53.idea to work, there must be a comprehensive plan in place at
:14:54. > :15:00.Heathrow after it closes. You would plan it so you would be able to
:15:01. > :15:04.initiate development on the site, at Heathrow, as soon as you got the new
:15:05. > :15:13.airport up and running. So, there would be a complete, simultaneous
:15:14. > :15:18.effect. Now, in Hong Kong, they want a third runway. That might be ready
:15:19. > :15:23.by 2023. One leading architect doesn't see the setup here as
:15:24. > :15:29.comparable to London's huge needs. Hong Kong is a very `` very narrow
:15:30. > :15:33.`based city on the harbour edge. Hong Kong is a very `` very narrow
:15:34. > :15:36.`based city on the harbour edge. It has 7 million people. They all live
:15:37. > :15:44.in a very contained, very small area. That is not London. He seems
:15:45. > :15:48.increasingly concerned that a third Heathrow runway could be back on the
:15:49. > :15:52.cards, but he saw for himself today what results when you build an
:15:53. > :15:56.airport on the sea. Still to come before 7pm: Equine
:15:57. > :16:00.therapy. How horses have helped a veteran to
:16:01. > :16:15.combat post`traumatic stress. And: opening to the public today,
:16:16. > :16:20.this ever`growing success brings much praise and criticism.
:16:21. > :16:26.First, rising gas and energy prices have been making headlines, a group
:16:27. > :16:31.in south London have decided to take matters into their own hands,
:16:32. > :16:35.residents at the Loughborough Estate clubbed together to produce their
:16:36. > :16:49.own renewable energy. Now, they are even turning a profit. London is a
:16:50. > :16:53.place of global powerhouses. On a Brixton estate more known for its
:16:54. > :16:58.problems, a group of residents has created a project that brings them
:16:59. > :17:04.power in more than one sense. There are more than 300 solar panels on
:17:05. > :17:09.the roofs of the Loughborough Estate. They were paid for by the
:17:10. > :17:15.people who live here. It's the first time I've ever done anything like
:17:16. > :17:21.it. It's alternative energy. It's just such a good thing. Lifts,
:17:22. > :17:26.communal areas, homes, all powered from this. The project has created
:17:27. > :17:31.jobs. It wasn't easy. There were a lot of hurdles. National policy
:17:32. > :17:34.hurdles with the feeding tariffs, problems with the local council, you
:17:35. > :17:38.problems with the local council you are trying to put renewable energy
:17:39. > :17:42.into communities and create revenue. That is difficult to communicate.
:17:43. > :17:47.The panels are a great success story. London consumes 13% of the
:17:48. > :17:50.power produced by the United Kingdom each year. It only gives back 2% in
:17:51. > :17:54.each year. It only gives back 2 in return. The great problem that the
:17:55. > :17:59.organisers of this project have is persuading the powers that be that
:18:00. > :18:04.it needs to be rolled out across the capital. It would be very good if
:18:05. > :18:08.the government could say this is a positive scheme and local councils
:18:09. > :18:12.should look at it and work with similar projects in their own area.
:18:13. > :18:17.I think really it's all about the will of the local authority saying,
:18:18. > :18:20.this is great. We want to make it happen. If you think the prize is
:18:21. > :18:25.big enough you will get rid of all the challenges and obstacles. The
:18:26. > :18:30.investors got a pleasant surprise, the project is now in profit. I
:18:31. > :18:36.thought I would have to wait 20 years or something like that. The
:18:37. > :18:40.The sum may not be life`changing. On a day when many were told they will
:18:41. > :18:47.be paying more for their power, it's a ray of sun light. A remarkable
:18:48. > :18:50.story of an army veteran from Surrey diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress
:18:51. > :18:55.Disorder who says he has overcome the illness by working with horses.
:18:56. > :19:00.It's called Equine Facilitated Therapy. It has helped hue Forsyth
:19:01. > :19:05.coming to terms with his experiences of serving in Northern Ireland and
:19:06. > :19:10.Bosnia. Just walking into an open field was a traumatic experience for
:19:11. > :19:16.Hugh Forsyth when he first left the army, where he worked for years in
:19:17. > :19:22.bomb disposal. I was very hyper vigilant. I was scared to go on
:19:23. > :19:31.Tubes, on the Tubes into London I couldn't handle crowds. I was very
:19:32. > :19:33.scared by dustbins, backpacks. The idea is for Hugh to make a
:19:34. > :19:38.connection and communicate with the horses. He says when he started this
:19:39. > :19:42.work the transformation within him was almost immediate. You get a buzz
:19:43. > :19:48.of adrenaline. A really nice warm, calm feeling. You feel really
:19:49. > :19:54.grounded. I mean literally connected to the ground. Your Stamback muscles
:19:55. > :19:58.relax and your body relaxes. When you have eye to eye and body to body
:19:59. > :20:03.connection that the horses have with you, it's like you are completely
:20:04. > :20:09.zoned. It's just you and them and nothing else matters. The work the
:20:10. > :20:14.stablisisation that the horses offer to calm these veterans down, when
:20:15. > :20:19.they have a lot of mental war injuries, you know, that they are
:20:20. > :20:25.coming back with, this work really helps them to feel solid and safe
:20:26. > :20:30.again. It doesn't matter if it goes right or wrong. Have a go and have
:20:31. > :20:35.fun with it. Off you go. I will stay with you if you want me too. Through
:20:36. > :20:40.the charity Walking with the Wounded Hugh is making it his career,
:20:41. > :20:45.teaching horsemanship skills to other veterans diagnosed with post
:20:46. > :20:50.traumatic stress disorder like Adam. His message to others is to at least
:20:51. > :20:55.try it. Give it a go. Have an open mind. Try not to let the military
:20:56. > :20:57.ego get in the way of the possibility it can heal you. I know
:20:58. > :21:06.it works. I have experienced it. You it works. I have experienced it. You
:21:07. > :21:15.did that. He says every small achievement is a huge leap forward

:22:01. > :22:06.serving the super rich than ordinary Londoners. From emerging new talent
:22:07. > :22:13.touted by those in the know as the next big thing, to works by Picasso
:22:14. > :22:28.and David Hockney. It's been fantastic in London how
:22:29. > :22:32.the general public (inaudible) it's an educational tool, a learning
:22:33. > :22:36.tool. Art is a life`long learning process. Whether you are buying or
:22:37. > :22:41.not. The majority of people who come to our fairs are here to look, learn
:22:42. > :22:45.and to love it. Frieze began 11 years ago, both fairs are expected
:22:46. > :22:51.to attract 75,000 people over the next four days. If you are a serious
:22:52. > :22:54.art collector the fairs are a great place to see what the international
:22:55. > :23:00.art world has to offer. The rest of us can wonder around and enrich our
:23:01. > :23:07.knowledge of emerging and established artists. It's not
:23:08. > :23:10.without its critics. John Keane prepares for his exhibition Fear,
:23:11. > :23:14.that opens this weekend. He is represented by a gallery that
:23:15. > :23:18.applied unsuccessfully to be part of the event on several occasions. He
:23:19. > :23:23.believes the fair is too selective and elitist? You do really have to
:23:24. > :23:29.ask really, is it what it appears to be? Is it really a celebration of
:23:30. > :23:36.contrary art or is it a kind of closed shop which works as a kind of
:23:37. > :23:41.way of processing the currency of art for the super rich elite? There
:23:42. > :23:44.are other fairs going on around London this week, the so`called
:23:45. > :23:50.Satellite Fairs. They are interesting. There is an art fair
:23:51. > :23:55.called Monica. The Sunday Art Fair. They have interesting work in them.
:23:56. > :24:01.If you think this is too grand for you, you can go to another one. The
:24:02. > :24:07.capital is awash with opportunities to soak up art this week, including
:24:08. > :24:15.Frieze's Sculpture Park, which is free. Regent's Park has the Frieze,
:24:16. > :24:21.Peter, are we all going to freeze the rest of us? Very good. Not this
:24:22. > :24:24.weekend much you might have trouble finding that arts fair tomorrow.
:24:25. > :24:27.weekend much you might have trouble finding that arts fair tomorrow If
:24:28. > :24:30.you are going, take a brolly with you. At the moment the skies are
:24:31. > :24:35.clear and visibility is pretty good. We will keep those clear skies over
:24:36. > :24:40.night, the visibility will go down hill. Light winds and lots of fog by
:24:41. > :24:45.dawn. More than we had the other morning. I'm pretty sure there will
:24:46. > :24:49.be travel trouble tomorrow. You might want to make the most of our
:24:50. > :25:04.Breakfast travel bulletins. If you tweet us with your travel
:25:05. > :25:08.troubles we can let everybody know what is going on. The skies are
:25:09. > :25:11.clear at the moment, we had a few showers across the London area
:25:12. > :25:15.earlier, they have disappeared. We keep the clear skies over night. You
:25:16. > :25:18.will be able to see that the computer is hinting at some fairly
:25:19. > :25:23.dense fog just about everywhere, dense fog just about everywhere,
:25:24. > :25:29.central London will escape the worst of it with minimum temperatures into
:25:30. > :25:34.double figures, single figures in the countryside. Tomorrow, the worst
:25:35. > :25:39.of the fog should be out of the way by 10.00 am. Brightness before the
:25:40. > :25:44.freshening breeze blows drops of rain our way. Temperatures up to
:25:45. > :25:49.17`18 Celsius. It's above average for the time of year. We will get
:25:50. > :25:53.some more rain tomorrow night, that will turn showery on Saturday. We
:25:54. > :25:57.can expect some more showers on Sunday. At the moment, it looks as
:25:58. > :26:01.though the showers on Sunday are going to be heavier and you may well
:26:02. > :26:03.hear a few rumbles of thunder and see a few flashes of lightning. As
:26:04. > :26:07.far as the outlook is concerned, far as the outlook is concerned
:26:08. > :26:13.watch out for that fog tomorrow morning, build in some extra time to
:26:14. > :26:19.your travel plans. Bright and breezy over the weekend with showers or
:26:20. > :26:25.longer spells of rain. Before we go, let us remind ourselves of the main
