:00:00. > :00:08.Tonight on BBC London News: Tougher sentences for human traffickers.
:00:09. > :00:10.sentences for human traffickers It's estimated there are currently
:00:11. > :00:23.3,000 victims in the capital. You become a machine, to make money
:00:24. > :00:26.for them. You are not a human being any more.
:00:27. > :00:30.The Met tell us how they're tracking down the people responsible.
:00:31. > :00:32.Also tonight: In court for nonpayment of council tax.
:00:33. > :00:34.Southwark takes action against thousands of its residents.
:00:35. > :00:39.Selling his wares in Hong Kong, Boris wraps up his promotional tour
:00:40. > :00:42.of China, saying it's been a huge success.
:00:43. > :00:45.And, renamed by royalty, the Cutty Sark's sister ship is honoured
:00:46. > :01:04.before its final voyage. Hello, and welcome.
:01:05. > :01:06.People engaged in human trafficking will face maximum life sentences,
:01:07. > :01:12.under proposals announced by the government. It will form part of the
:01:13. > :01:14.upcoming Modern Slavery Bill, a response to the increasing numbers
:01:15. > :01:18.of victims who are being trafficked into the UK by criminal gangs,
:01:19. > :01:21.mostly to London. There are currently an estimated 3,000 victims
:01:22. > :01:23.here in the capital, often forced into prostitution. This report from
:01:24. > :01:34.our home affairs correspondent, Guy Smith.
:01:35. > :01:43.You become a machine, to make money for them. You are not a human being
:01:44. > :01:47.any more. You money. A woman forced to work as a prostitute in London.
:01:48. > :01:59.She said one night she had to have sex with up to 20 men. They hit
:02:00. > :02:04.them, they followed them. They come in full of bruises, and you know
:02:05. > :02:09.that if you don't do what they want, you can end up like that. Her
:02:10. > :02:14.story is typical of those who work in London's sex industry. You don't
:02:15. > :02:19.have to look far to see the signs, on the streets of the capital and in
:02:20. > :02:25.local newspapers. It's not just sexual exploitation. Two years ago,
:02:26. > :02:28.this woman was successfully prosecuted and jailed for exploiting
:02:29. > :02:34.an African woman, taking her passport and forcing her to work 20
:02:35. > :02:38.hours a day for four years at this bungalow in Harrow, providing just a
:02:39. > :02:43.thin mattress while threatening to harm her family in Tanzania.
:02:44. > :02:50.When they come here, they are coerced and beaten. This year, we
:02:51. > :02:56.have charged 40 counts of rape, not just people in sexual exploitation,
:02:57. > :03:02.we often see people in domestic servitude who are raped. The person
:03:03. > :03:08.is turned into a commodity. A leading charity believes currently
:03:09. > :03:13.there are 3000 victims in London. The Met Police has increased its
:03:14. > :03:17.activity, this year carrying out 62 operations, resting 100 suspected
:03:18. > :03:23.traffickers, securing already 32 convictions.
:03:24. > :03:30.This has been identified as a big problem, houses turned into cannabis
:03:31. > :03:33.factories. Mostly run by Vietnamese criminals. Some organisations say
:03:34. > :03:39.the authorities need to provide more support for the children who work in
:03:40. > :03:47.them. The main group we see is Vietnamese boys trafficked for
:03:48. > :03:53.cannabis exploitation. We believe they are falling through the net.
:03:54. > :03:57.The Home Secretary is promising life sentences for the worst offenders
:03:58. > :04:03.and trafficking orders to prevent those from convicted from working
:04:04. > :04:06.with children or young women. It is important to send a clear
:04:07. > :04:10.message about how horrific this crime of modern slavery is.
:04:11. > :04:18.Neighbouring counties are also trying to tackle trafficking. Surrey
:04:19. > :04:23.Police ran a social media campaign on the issue. London is the most
:04:24. > :04:27.diverse city in the world, no surprise that human traffickers
:04:28. > :04:30.bring their victims here. It is all too easy to hide them.
:04:31. > :04:37.Venice, Peru, and now Deptford. The historic docks joins a list of
:04:38. > :04:51.threatened world heritage sites. There've been long queues at a court
:04:52. > :04:54.in Southwark today, after 4,500 people were called before
:04:55. > :04:57.magistrates over not paying their council tax. Two`thirds of them got
:04:58. > :05:00.into debt after council tax benefit was scrapped earlier this year.
:05:01. > :05:03.Protesters outside court said it's unfair for councils to punish
:05:04. > :05:05.residents who simply don't have the money to pay their bills. Our
:05:06. > :05:12.political correspondent Karl Mercer reports.
:05:13. > :05:19.It's not the sort of queue you want to be in. Waiting at the end of it
:05:20. > :05:23.is a courtroom. And looming bills. These people, summonsed here by
:05:24. > :05:26.their local council, for failing to pay their council tax. Southwark
:05:27. > :05:34.Council has issued 4,500 of these summonses. Today, locals faced court
:05:35. > :05:37.for the first time. Whoever has come up with this
:05:38. > :05:43.policy, they are making it up as they go along.
:05:44. > :05:49.The rich are all right, not like the poor people. We are the people.
:05:50. > :05:53.I just found out a month and a half ago I had to pay. I had no idea.
:05:54. > :05:55.I just found out a month and a half ago I had to pay. I had no idea It
:05:56. > :05:59.ago I had to pay. I had no idea. It must be a shock to be called to
:06:00. > :06:03.court. Yes, I haven't done anything. Many of these people didn't used to
:06:04. > :06:06.pay council tax. But the benefit was cut by the government. Some councils
:06:07. > :06:09.have taken on the cost. Southwark has passed it on. Meaning those who
:06:10. > :06:14.were getting council tax benefit will now have to pay about 15% of
:06:15. > :06:16.the bill, just over ?100 extra a year.
:06:17. > :06:22.I am trying very hard to make ends meet at the moment, and I have been
:06:23. > :06:30.summonsed to court. I got very threatening letters. And told to pay
:06:31. > :06:34.a bill. How much money are you spending
:06:35. > :06:38.taking people to court? The man from the council did put in an appearance
:06:39. > :06:42.this morning. It didn't take long for him to get noticed. Or to get to
:06:43. > :06:43.understand the strength of feeling here.
:06:44. > :06:47.You can say Southwark is putting its foot down!
:06:48. > :06:51.Other boroughs in London have not passed on the cuts to the poorest
:06:52. > :06:55.but Southwark has. We would urge them to think again. Southwark says
:06:56. > :06:59.its hands are tied, and cuts would have to come from elsewhere if it
:07:00. > :07:03.didn't make people pay part of their council tax.
:07:04. > :07:07.The majority of councils have done the same as us. It's only a small
:07:08. > :07:14.minority that have been able to afford not to pass it on. For us, it
:07:15. > :07:17.would cost up to ?3.5 million every year which we can't afford.
:07:18. > :07:20.The government told us today it had localised council tax benefit,
:07:21. > :07:23.because it more than doubled under the last government. It said
:07:24. > :07:25.councils should take into account the impact on vulnerable people.
:07:26. > :07:30.Southwark said it couldn't rule out more summonses next year.
:07:31. > :07:34.The Metropolitan Police is wasting money getting rid of experienced
:07:35. > :07:45.staff, only to replace them with temporary ones.

:08:10. > :08:12.wasting money getting rid of experienced staff, only to replace
:08:13. > :08:15.them with temporary ones. That's according to Baroness Jenny
:08:16. > :08:16.Jones. Figures from the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime show
:08:17. > :08:20.that the Met spent more than ?26 that the Met spent more than ?2
:08:21. > :08:23.million on agency temps last year, as well as ?44 million to secure the
:08:24. > :08:26.voluntary departure of 900 staff. The Met says agency workers are

:08:31. > :08:34.Tube passengers are being warned they face major disruption at
:08:35. > :08:37.Embankment Underground station from January. For most of next year,
:08:38. > :08:40.Bakerloo and Northern Line trains won't stop there, so four escalators
:08:41. > :08:42.can be replaced. Transport for London says passengers should use
:08:43. > :08:44.Waterloo and Charing Cross instead. Circle and District line trains
:08:45. > :08:52.won't be affected. There's renewed pressure to delay a
:08:53. > :08:55.?1 billion development at Deptford Dockyard, after the area was put on
:08:56. > :08:58.a list of threatened heritage sites, alongside world`renowned places in
:08:59. > :09:01.Venice and Peru. The World Monuments Fund is calling for redevelopment of
:09:02. > :09:04.the 16th`century dockyard to be carried out "sensitively". But the
:09:05. > :09:09.developer claims the area's history is central to their plans. Alex
:09:10. > :09:20.Bushill has the story. It is one of history is irony is
:09:21. > :09:25.that it is Greenwich and the Cutty Sark which has become synonymous
:09:26. > :09:30.with London's maritime history when arguably its shabby next`door
:09:31. > :09:34.neighbour as far better claim. Looking at Deptford high Street it
:09:35. > :09:39.is hard to imagine in Royal dockyard here. This is as close as we can
:09:40. > :09:49.get, the dockyard is private property. You can see shipbuilding
:09:50. > :09:56.sheds. This is a reminder of this glorious history on this site. This
:09:57. > :10:00.is where Captain Cook set sail from to discover Australia, where the
:10:01. > :10:05.Mary Rose was built. Now the World Monuments Fund has put the site on
:10:06. > :10:10.its watchlist. We know that most of the history of the dockyard is just
:10:11. > :10:14.below the ground and in some standing buildings but they have
:10:15. > :10:24.been overlooked. We want them to be listed and properly recognised.
:10:25. > :10:30.Deptford is in need of a generation `` regeneration as well. 3000 homes
:10:31. > :10:33.are proposed here. There is nothing scarier for an
:10:34. > :10:40.architect and a blank sheet of paper. Here, it is incredibly rich,
:10:41. > :10:43.we have used the character and history.
:10:44. > :10:52.Many locals are opposed. A campaign has been launched. This is the old
:10:53. > :11:00.mastership rights house. This is a piece of lost history.
:11:01. > :11:04.This site is the equivalent of Shakespeare's Globe. The architects
:11:05. > :11:08.have been unable to persuade the Chinese owners to create a scheme
:11:09. > :11:11.which is sensitive to history, creates a vibrant future.
:11:12. > :11:23.A decision on redevelopment is due. Boris Johnson has spent the final
:11:24. > :11:26.day of his trade mission to China, promoting the benefits of his new
:11:27. > :11:30.bus, and addressing business people in Hong Kong. As the Mayor prepares
:11:31. > :11:32.to return home, he says he's confident there will be big
:11:33. > :11:36.investments which materialise in London as a result of the trip. Is
:11:37. > :11:37.he right? Here's our political editor Tim Donovan whose report does
:11:38. > :11:51.contain some flash photography. It has proved much more expensive
:11:52. > :11:54.than promised. But the new bus could start to make more economic sense if
:11:55. > :12:01.you can get others to buy it, like Hong Kong. We have brought the new
:12:02. > :12:08.bus for London all the way to Hong Kong, this is a great market
:12:09. > :12:13.opportunity. Whether it was the bus they were keen on wasn't immediately
:12:14. > :12:20.apparent. No Hong Kong newsdesk had been left off the list. It is going
:12:21. > :12:29.well. I feel we have almost got there. On a ferry ride across Hong
:12:30. > :12:40.Kong harbour, at times it got frenzied. Move back! He is in there
:12:41. > :12:44.somewhere. There have been plenty of photo opportunities and plenty of
:12:45. > :12:49.exposure crucially to the local media. His press team has been
:12:50. > :12:53.working overtime. As to the benefit this chip has brought to London
:12:54. > :12:58.that depends on whether you think trade missions do work. Some people
:12:59. > :13:04.don't. It certainly has been about showing how he could be more than a
:13:05. > :13:06.London Mayor. National British news outlets have been invited to profile

:13:11. > :13:21.him on this international stage To UK the doctors have been chronicling
:13:22. > :13:25.his every move. `` photographers. And he did get nearly 800,000
:13:26. > :13:32.mentions on the Chinese equivalent of Twitter. As he addressed a
:13:33. > :13:36.chamber of commerce lunch, one of his sisters said there had been a
:13:37. > :13:41.two pronged attack. In the meetings this week, people
:13:42. > :13:48.have pushed Boris on detail and he knows the detail really well. At the
:13:49. > :13:51.same time it is clear he has a personable way of getting the
:13:52. > :13:57.message across. He has been promoting London and the UK, the
:13:58. > :14:01.media coverage has been really positive. It is unlikely he will do
:14:02. > :14:07.another chip at this when he is London Mayor. We will have to see
:14:08. > :14:14.what tangible things he can claim to have achieved.
:14:15. > :14:18.Still to come this evening: I catch up with a famous old steed as he
:14:19. > :14:22.goes into retirement. It has been changing all week, but
:14:23. > :14:29.what changes can we expect at the weekend?
:14:30. > :14:35.The Duke of Edinburgh was in Greenwich today to rename the
:14:36. > :14:40.world's oldest clever. The Cutty Sark's sister ship was built in 1864
:14:41. > :14:44.to transport migrants to Australia. It is currently moored in the Thames
:14:45. > :14:47.and will soon set sail on its final voyage before hopefully being
:14:48. > :14:52.restored to its former glory. Here is Sarah Harris.
:14:53. > :14:58.His Royal Highness, a naval veteran himself, arriving in Greenwich for a
:14:59. > :15:08.Maritime Customs stretching back centuries. It is burning! We will
:15:09. > :15:14.help it a little bit. In good health, the Duke was clearly tickled
:15:15. > :15:19.when all did not go quite to plan. Grant us permission to use your
:15:20. > :15:21.mighty powers in the pursuit... I declared that this ship is now going
:15:22. > :15:27.to be called the City of Adelaide. I hope she has a long and successful
:15:28. > :15:45.career in her reincarnation. The vessel was originally called
:15:46. > :15:50.City of Adelaide when it was built in 1864 to carry passengers to South
:15:51. > :15:54.Australia to start a new life. It was a proud moment for the honorary
:15:55. > :15:58.captain who carried out the ceremony. His ancestors had
:15:59. > :16:04.travelled on the sailing ship in her heyday. I am very proud to see her
:16:05. > :16:06.lying in the Thames today, to have the renaming ceremony with the Duke,
:16:07. > :16:07.which was particularly exciting, the renaming ceremony with the Duke,
:16:08. > :16:10.which was particularly exciting but which was particularly exciting, but
:16:11. > :16:15.also to have the two remaining clipper ships, the Cutty Sark and
:16:16. > :16:19.the City of Adelaide, lying virtually side by side for the last
:16:20. > :16:23.time, it is a monumental occasion. Next year, the historic ship will
:16:24. > :16:27.make its way to its namesake in South Australia so it can be
:16:28. > :16:32.preserved and restored. It is part of a long campaign to save it for
:16:33. > :16:36.future generations. A group of volunteers from Adelaide who have
:16:37. > :16:39.battled for 14 years against politics and technical issues and
:16:40. > :16:43.financial barriers, and really broken through to see the clipper to
:16:44. > :16:50.get back to Adelaide, South Australia. And at a reception in the
:16:51. > :16:55.Duke met those involved in the project to save one of the oldest
:16:56. > :16:59.ships in the world. OK, let's get a round`up of the
:17:00. > :17:04.sports news with Sara Orchard, and once again fans heading to Wembley.
:17:05. > :17:08.Yes, earlier this week Wembley was the setting for the England football
:17:09. > :17:11.team to secure qualification for the World Cup, but tonight there are
:17:12. > :17:16.hopes it could be another happy English hunting ground. A record

:17:22. > :17:27.host for time Heineken Cup champions place`macro. Head of the European
:17:28. > :17:30.Cup match, I managed to wrangle a behind`the`scenes tour. As England
:17:31. > :17:36.football move out, once again Saracens moved in. So far and this
:17:37. > :17:39.season, they have made nine trips to play at the home of football, but
:17:40. > :17:45.the team never tires of playing under the arch. There is so much
:17:46. > :17:49.history here, and as a young English guy, it is a privilege to play here
:17:50. > :17:54.every time we come. But it is not just the players who enjoy the
:17:55. > :18:00.experience. Good morning, one and all! This man thought he would never
:18:01. > :18:04.work at the new stadium after he left the same role at Tottenham
:18:05. > :18:07.Hotspur. I was born and bred in Tottenham, I was fortunate to work
:18:08. > :18:11.at the old Wembley five times, and when I left Spurs, I did not dream I
:18:12. > :18:15.would be working at the new Wembley, and to my supplies this is
:18:16. > :18:20.my fifth or sixth game you with Saracens, and it is a joy. It is
:18:21. > :18:23.fitting that for the tenth time Saracens are playing here at the new
:18:24. > :18:28.Wembley, and they're going to be taking on one of the most formidable
:18:29. > :18:34.opponents in European rugby, we are talking about for time Heineken
:18:35. > :18:37.champions Toulouse. You want to test yourself against the best, and I
:18:38. > :18:41.would definitely say they are the best, so that is what we want to do
:18:42. > :18:45.as a club, we want to make that history, and to do that you have to
:18:46. > :18:52.beat teams like this. Boasting the likes of the French captain, that is
:18:53. > :18:56.just scraping the surface of the Toulouse talent. This England fly
:18:57. > :18:59.half might already have a premiership title and a winning
:19:00. > :19:03.Lions tour under his belt, but even he still wants the Heineken. I think
:19:04. > :19:08.it is the biggest draw in club rugby, it has got so much history to
:19:09. > :19:13.it, it is the best of the best, and you want to get your hands on that.
:19:14. > :19:18.And with the future of the cup still in doubt, this could be Saracens'
:19:19. > :19:24.last time to do just that. And tonight there is full commentary

:21:09. > :21:15.and I think that is the be all and end all. Is a bigger club did come
:21:16. > :21:16.calling, would you allow him to talk to them
:21:17. > :21:23.ease has got a new contract, and there is a buyout clause, but I
:21:24. > :21:27.would want the club to be recompensed for losing his services.
:21:28. > :21:31.I do not think that is going to happen, if I can judge you on
:21:32. > :21:38.beings, he is enjoying the run. Promotion could be timely, with West
:21:39. > :21:41.Ham set to move in next door. Do you have to accept now that any hope of
:21:42. > :21:50.a ground share is over? Do you just have to move and you might when I
:21:51. > :21:56.look to the House of Lords... What harm does it do for Leyton Orient to
:21:57. > :22:00.share the Olympic Stadium? Would you be disappointed if you were not at
:22:01. > :22:04.least in the play`offs? I would and for me to say that to you in
:22:05. > :22:09.mid`October is a hell of a statement of how far this club has gone this
:22:10. > :22:14.year. Keep it going and next May Orient could be jumping for joy
:22:15. > :22:18.again. Good luck to the Os away at
:22:19. > :22:21.Tranmere, you can follow their progress, along with all the London
:22:22. > :22:25.sides, tomorrow on BBC London 9 .9 sides, tomorrow on BBC London 9 .9
:22:26. > :22:28.with Phil Parry from two o'clock. Another quick bit of football news
:22:29. > :22:34.today, Tottenham Hotspur without Andros Townsend, he has signed a new
:22:35. > :22:38.contract at White Hart Lane. He scored on his England debut last
:22:39. > :22:47.Friday before winning a second cap against Poland on Tuesday. Great
:22:48. > :22:53.news for Spurs fans. That is all the sport, back to you.
:22:54. > :22:57.Finally, he is the puppets that brought Michael Morpurgo's Warhorse
:22:58. > :23:01.to life and has wowed audiences across the world, but now Joey has
:23:02. > :23:08.been put out to pasture at the V, as Wendy Hurrell reports.
:23:09. > :23:16.You know this face by now. Joey from the theatre show Warhorse has been
:23:17. > :23:21.seen worldwide by 4 million of us. He was brought to life from Michael
:23:22. > :23:30.Morpurgo's children's book by a public company. The horse is bigger
:23:31. > :23:33.than life size so that you can get two manipulators inside it, and then
:23:34. > :23:38.with enough space for their elbows to move and with the skin that can
:23:39. > :23:45.be see`through, so that actors they can react to all the other things
:23:46. > :23:51.that are going on around them. Well, they have donated their
:23:52. > :23:54.version to the V Here he is inspecting his new digs, and now he
:23:55. > :23:57.has got a permanent home in the theatre and performance gallery. It
:23:58. > :24:05.theatre and performance gallery It has become an iconic figure for
:24:06. > :24:08.theatre, the theatre world, and so I think it is appropriate, in a way,
:24:09. > :24:14.that it has a place in a theatre museum. He is more than a horse, he
:24:15. > :24:17.has got an extraordinary character, and we have been able to display him
:24:18. > :24:21.with three manikin puppeteers to give a sense of what he does on
:24:22. > :24:26.stage. And the show is still on at the New
:24:27. > :24:31.London Theatre. It is also during this country and the States, but
:24:32. > :24:34.with copies of the original puppet. At the V, he joins other famous
:24:35. > :24:40.West End animals and performance costumes. So the original West End
:24:41. > :24:44.Joey goes into retirement here at the V, and although the show goes
:24:45. > :24:51.on this fellow becomes part of theatre heritage.
:24:52. > :24:54.Let's get a check on the weather with Peter, who is down by the
:24:55. > :24:58.river, is it a good weekend in prospect?
:24:59. > :25:04.One thing we will not have to worry about is for this weekend, not
:25:05. > :25:08.looking too bad, mild for the time of year, and it will be bright and
:25:09. > :25:10.breezy at times. The only problem is there will also be showery rain,
:25:11. > :25:10.breezy at times. The only problem is there will also be showery rain and
:25:11. > :25:15.there will also be showery rain, and some of that is likely to be quite
:25:16. > :25:19.heavy. In fact, this evening here on Victoria embankment we have just
:25:20. > :25:22.felt a few drops of rain on the breeze, but that is about all. It
:25:23. > :25:26.will be later tonight that some wetter weather will arrive, but we
:25:27. > :25:31.will not have to worry about fog, and we will not worry about the cold
:25:32. > :25:36.either, because temperatures are holding up at around 12 or 13
:25:37. > :25:40.Celsius. So on to Saturday, and in the scheme of things, probably
:25:41. > :25:43.north`west of London is where the weather will be driest and
:25:44. > :25:44.brightest. It will gradually dry up and brighten up through the day,
:25:45. > :25:44.brightest. It will gradually dry up and brighten up through the day but
:25:45. > :25:49.and brighten up through the day, but to the south`east of the capital,
:25:50. > :25:52.well, that is where there is likely to be a period of quite heavy
:25:53. > :25:57.persistent rain before it dries up and brightens up in the afternoon.
:25:58. > :26:02.Top Bridges tomorrow will be around about 17 or 18 Celsius. `` top
:26:03. > :26:11.temperatures. Tomorrow, drive for the most part, but showers will move
:26:12. > :26:13.up from the south coast, and by Sunday afternoon some of those
:26:14. > :26:17.showers are likely to be quite heavy. You might well here a few
:26:18. > :26:22.rumbles of thunder, you might even see a future lashes of lightning. On
:26:23. > :26:26.to next week, well, we keep the mild weather, more bright and breezy
:26:27. > :26:31.weather, but also some more showers or longer spells of rain. So as far
:26:32. > :26:35.as the outlook is concerned, things drying up and brightening up on
:26:36. > :26:41.Saturday, you will have to dodge the sharp showers on Sunday, and at the
:26:42. > :26:45.moment it looks like we will get some longer spells of rain to start
:26:46. > :26:49.the week, and it might be very wet going back to work. It also looks as
:26:50. > :26:54.though we will get somewhere the weather on Tuesday.
:26:55. > :27:00.Re`capping the main headlines just before we go: A coroner has ruled
:27:01. > :27:03.that neglect contributed to the deaths of five elderly people at a
:27:04. > :27:08.residential home in Sussex. She said there was institutionalised abuse
:27:09. > :27:14.throughout the care home. A video has been posted by the
:27:15. > :27:18.Al`Shabab terrorist group, warning British Muslims to stop speaking out
:27:19. > :27:21.against terrorism. Scotland Yard is investigating and providing extra
:27:22. > :27:25.protection where necessary. People engaged in human trafficking
:27:26. > :27:28.will face a maximum life sentences under proposals announced by the
:27:29. > :27:33.Government. There are an estimated 3000 victims currently in the
:27:34. > :27:37.capital. And that is it from us for now, Asad
:27:38. > :27:41.Ahmad will be here with our late news, but from me and all the team,
:27:42. > :27:45.thanks very much for watching and have a wonderful weekend. Bye`bye.
