:00:00. > :00:08.BBC weather website. That is it all from the BBC's News at Six.
:00:09. > :00:16.Tonight on BBC London: The cost of public transport is to go up. True,
:00:17. > :00:23.overground and bus fares will rise mostly in line with inflation. Our
:00:24. > :00:31.pay increases are at 1%, how can you increase travel by 3%? It is a lot
:00:32. > :00:37.of money to pay. We will have more details on what the rises will mean
:00:38. > :00:41.for your pocket. Also tonight: A 17`year`old is stabbed to death in
:00:42. > :00:47.North London. He is the 12th teenager murder victim this year. A
:00:48. > :00:52.breakthrough for breast cancer patients. It could mean thousands of
:00:53. > :00:57.women avoiding major surgery. Plus, striking a pose for London's
:00:58. > :01:08.children. How a collection of celebrity photographs will go to
:01:09. > :01:15.help the young homeless. Good evening. The cost of public
:01:16. > :01:20.transport is to go up in the New Year. Tube, overground and bus fares
:01:21. > :01:25.are on average rising in line with inflation, hailed by the Mayor is a
:01:26. > :01:35.freeze in real`time. But the price of some journeys will see a hike of
:01:36. > :01:43.as much as 4%. Friendly handshakes for commuters and then perhaps some
:01:44. > :01:49.unwelcome news. We had to put them up. It was less than expected, but
:01:50. > :01:56.on average Transport for London fares will go up in January by just
:01:57. > :02:05.over 3%. Our pay increases are at 1%, how can you increase travel by
:02:06. > :02:11.3%? It is not fair. 3% is not really that much, so I do not see it
:02:12. > :02:14.impacting me. It is a lot of money to pay is specially with the
:02:15. > :02:23.situation in the country at the moment. Bus, Tube and DLR prices
:02:24. > :02:27.will go up by 3.1%. Season tickets and travel cards by 4.1% on average.
:02:28. > :02:52.In the detail a mix for commuters. The rest stayed the same. A daily
:02:53. > :03:05.oyster price cap, there is no increase.
:03:06. > :03:12.I am not going to oversell this. This is still an increase, but a
:03:13. > :03:18.lesser increase than people might have expected. Times have been
:03:19. > :03:27.tough. It enables us to keep investing in our network. TfL will
:03:28. > :03:32.have to find ?350 million in ten years inefficiencies and increase
:03:33. > :03:37.commercial revenues. Hundreds of job losses are already planned on the
:03:38. > :03:41.Underground. Unions began balloting for strike action and its critics
:03:42. > :03:46.say the Mayor has you turned on fares. On the one hand Boris has
:03:47. > :03:51.admitted that the fare increases have been bearing down on Londoners
:03:52. > :03:57.and people are suffering from a high cost of living. On the other hand he
:03:58. > :04:02.has not dealt with the problem. Looe he says he has found savings, but
:04:03. > :04:07.there is a lot more he could be doing. He has two target fare
:04:08. > :04:14.reductions at hard pressed Londoners, particularly people who
:04:15. > :04:18.work part`time. Transport campaigners say today's announcement
:04:19. > :04:24.is a step in the right direction, but much more still needs to be
:04:25. > :04:29.done. Our political editor Tim Donovan
:04:30. > :04:34.joins us from City Hall. What is the rationale behind this fares
:04:35. > :04:40.package? Recognition there is only so far you can take people on this.
:04:41. > :04:45.These are still increases that run ahead of increases in people's
:04:46. > :04:49.salaries, many of which have been frozen or cut. There is
:04:50. > :04:53.inconsistency with the last few years where Boris Johnson made it
:04:54. > :05:00.clear he felt Transport for London needed certainty for investment and
:05:01. > :05:05.supported fare rises of 2% above inflation. He has done it this year
:05:06. > :05:10.without help from the Government. In the end City Hall will feel it is
:05:11. > :05:14.difficult to keep asking people to pay more on fares when Transport for
:05:15. > :05:21.London is accumulating a capital budget of about ?2.5 billion. A lot
:05:22. > :05:25.of it is earmarked for future projects. Perhaps they are thinking
:05:26. > :05:31.how can we keep on for asking for more money until these projects are
:05:32. > :05:38.up and running? It has been a challenging few weeks for the Mayor?
:05:39. > :05:42.Yes it has, not least because of the problems over cycling. It did not
:05:43. > :05:47.get better today in which he gave a radio interview where he struggled
:05:48. > :05:54.to say what the cash fare was from his local station was into work. The
:05:55. > :05:58.even standard described that as embarrassing. He has been challenged
:05:59. > :06:03.on his comments made about IQs and economic worth and on this question
:06:04. > :06:09.of cycling he was challenged very firmly today about what appears to
:06:10. > :06:14.be his view on attributing the perception that cycling is less
:06:15. > :06:20.safe. His view is this is down to the media and cycle campaigners. It
:06:21. > :06:25.has not been an easy month. There is more detail on a different range of
:06:26. > :06:38.fares and how they will increase on the BBC London website.
:06:39. > :06:42.Plenty more to night including: Preparing for the possible arrival
:06:43. > :06:51.of Romanian and Bulgarian migrants. We look at how it could affect the
:06:52. > :06:56.capital. Tributes have been paid to a
:06:57. > :07:01.teenager who was fatally stabbed in Palmers Green in the early hours of
:07:02. > :07:06.this morning. The 17`year`old has been named locally as Joshua Folkes
:07:07. > :07:10.who was found outside the flat he was staying in. Friends have
:07:11. > :07:14.described him as bubbly and always smiling. Yvonne Hall is in North
:07:15. > :07:19.London this evening. This is the house in Palmers Green
:07:20. > :07:23.where the 17`year`old was found stabbed to death and fighting for
:07:24. > :07:30.his life before 1am this morning. The emergency services tried to
:07:31. > :07:34.resuscitate him, but he died 14 minutes later. There have been 12
:07:35. > :07:41.young men killed by Leon London's Street this year. The detectives
:07:42. > :07:45.have no theories as to why he was killed. They will be in the house
:07:46. > :07:52.all night looking for clues, but so far nobody has been arrested.
:07:53. > :07:57.Overwhelmed by grief, a friend of the teenager stabbed to death
:07:58. > :08:01.outside a flat in North London just before 1am. He has been named
:08:02. > :08:08.locally as 17`year`old Joshua Folkes, a college student. He was
:08:09. > :08:12.staying in an upstairs flat in Bowes Road. His downstairs neighbour
:08:13. > :08:19.arrived home just before 1am and said he saw the teenager fighting
:08:20. > :08:27.for his life after the attack. I saw the lad lying down on the ground.
:08:28. > :08:33.His friend was shouting to get up and there was nothing. Paying their
:08:34. > :08:38.respects today, friends of Joshua who say they cannot believe he has
:08:39. > :08:49.gone. Always smiling, his own person. What do you mean? Just him,
:08:50. > :08:56.there was nothing bad about him. We were close, he always made me laugh.
:08:57. > :09:03.This murder follows the killing 24 hours earlier of a man in his 20s in
:09:04. > :09:09.Hackney. In total 12 young men have been killed violently on London's
:09:10. > :09:15.Street this year. His neighbour now fears for his safety. No one feels
:09:16. > :09:23.safe here because they are a group. There are too many groups.
:09:24. > :09:26.Detectives are urging anyone with any information about why
:09:27. > :09:33.17`year`old Joshua was stabbed to death here to contact them
:09:34. > :09:38.immediately. A strike that was due to take place on the Piccadilly line
:09:39. > :09:43.tomorrow has been called off. Members of the RMT union were due to
:09:44. > :09:48.take industrial action on Wednesday. The dispute centres on
:09:49. > :09:51.what it describes as a breakdown in industrial relations with
:09:52. > :09:55.Underground managers. In just under a month the restrictions on people
:09:56. > :10:01.from Bulgaria and Romania wanting to live and work in the UK will be
:10:02. > :10:05.lifted. One London council has said they will welcome those who are
:10:06. > :10:16.coming to work, but fear some will be a drain on resources.
:10:17. > :10:21.They are taking the small steps for their new lives in Britain. English
:10:22. > :10:28.lessons for these Romanians in west London, hoping their studies will
:10:29. > :10:32.reward them with new jobs. Carmen worked as a GP in Romania and
:10:33. > :10:42.arrived last month. I like the people and I like everything in
:10:43. > :10:47.England. And behind heard there are other Romanians considering new
:10:48. > :10:54.lives, chasing new wages. This lady is a pharmacy student studying in
:10:55. > :11:02.north`west Romania. I would like to try a different place for a couple
:11:03. > :11:07.of years may be. But what do those dreams mean in reality for councils
:11:08. > :11:12.in London like Harrow, still feeling the squeeze after cuts in funding
:11:13. > :11:18.from central Government. They will be entitled to what everyone else is
:11:19. > :11:22.entitled to. Schools, housing and the health service. If they are
:11:23. > :11:27.going to get worked and pay their taxes, they are very welcome. But we
:11:28. > :11:34.do not need lots more people coming in that are going to be a drain on
:11:35. > :11:39.our resources. This is the baptism service at a Roman Church in Luton.
:11:40. > :11:45.500 Romanians or live here, or legally. But some have challenges in
:11:46. > :11:52.skills and education. This church of England figures offer `` offers help
:11:53. > :11:59.to those who need it. Those who live in extreme poverty are forced to beg
:12:00. > :12:05.on the street in order to survive. In a month's time we will see just
:12:06. > :12:09.how many Romanians and Bulgarians will choose to make Londonderry
:12:10. > :12:14.home. Here to discuss this is Alp Mehmet
:12:15. > :12:17.from the campaign group Migration Watch UK and Alex Glennie from the
:12:18. > :12:24.Institute for Public Policy and Research. We had some concerns from
:12:25. > :12:30.Harrow Council about it being a possible drain on resources, but the
:12:31. > :12:36.issue is we do not know what to expect. It is not a case of looking
:12:37. > :12:42.at it as a drain or not a drain, but the fact is we reckon 50,000 a year
:12:43. > :12:46.will come over the next five years. Most of those will be in the London
:12:47. > :12:55.area. It is what the consequences of that art. You have guessed those
:12:56. > :12:59.numbers? It is our judgement and it is the sort of judgement we used the
:13:00. > :13:03.last time around when we were right and the Government was wrong. We
:13:04. > :13:10.said a lot more would come from Poland and other countries. It is
:13:11. > :13:17.different this time. Bulgarians and Romanians have been able to come
:13:18. > :13:21.here since 2007, so it is not the same as 2004 when people were given
:13:22. > :13:27.immediate access to the labour market. This time a lot of people
:13:28. > :13:35.are already here. It is good for the economy? Yes, it is. But we need to
:13:36. > :13:40.think about the impact. There has got to be more to the economy than
:13:41. > :13:47.whether or not we can get a cheap cup of coffee from Starbucks. What
:13:48. > :13:55.about the children who are going to need schooling? We are told now that
:13:56. > :13:59.by 2016 there will be a shortage of 103,000 places. What about the
:14:00. > :14:07.housing the Mayor says we need? There are practical issues that are
:14:08. > :14:13.raised. It will put pressure on resources? Large numbers coming into
:14:14. > :14:17.new areas put pressure on housing and schools. But there are controls
:14:18. > :14:26.in place and we have had seven years to prepare for the impact. What if
:14:27. > :14:32.those numbers are wrong? That is something we are going to have to
:14:33. > :14:37.wait and see. There are 1 million Romanians in Spain, there are a
:14:38. > :14:42.similar number in Italy and a lot of those are unemployed. A lot of those
:14:43. > :14:47.in Germany, I heard this morning from a Romanian, are not that happy.
:14:48. > :14:56.What will happen to those in Spain and Italy? That is not taken into
:14:57. > :15:01.account. The restrictions will be lifted in other countries. Germany
:15:02. > :15:05.will be attractive and France, Spain and the Netherlands. There is
:15:06. > :15:11.nothing to say they will all come to Britain, is there? There are a lot
:15:12. > :15:18.more coming here than to other countries. We think 50,000 will end
:15:19. > :15:23.up here. A final thought to you, Alex. I think there is too much
:15:24. > :15:27.emphasis on the numbers. It is more important to think about the impact
:15:28. > :15:30.that this will have and to prepare properly for the areas which will
:15:31. > :15:35.see larger numbers like London. Thank you.
:15:36. > :15:41.Almost half of Londoners say they know or suspect someone who is a bit
:15:42. > :15:46.of a mystic violence. The survey is part of a national campaign to
:15:47. > :15:50.encourage victims to seek help. The charity refuge says one in four
:15:51. > :15:57.women will experience violence in their lifetime. Alice Bhandukravi
:15:58. > :16:02.has been speaking to one woman about Herrick 's periods is. He was
:16:03. > :16:07.kicking me in the stomach and he put his hands around my throat and said
:16:08. > :16:09.this time I really will kill you. Wendy Turner Webster endured
:16:10. > :16:16.physical and psychological abuse from her first husband for seven
:16:17. > :16:21.years. She said she stayed because she felt worthless. You are reduced
:16:22. > :16:27.to nothing in that kind of relationship. You have no
:16:28. > :16:30.confidence. You have no strength or mental ability to extract yourself
:16:31. > :16:35.from that situation. You have probably been brainwashed to such an
:16:36. > :16:41.extent that you believe you cannot stand on your own two feet. In a
:16:42. > :16:44.recent survey, almost 50% of Londoners said they knew what they
:16:45. > :16:49.suspected somebody they knew was living in an abusive relationship. A
:16:50. > :16:56.third of those asked said they would not know where to turn to for help.
:16:57. > :17:00.The survey by Avon as part of the campaign to shine a light on
:17:01. > :17:03.domestic violence. It is being fronted by Jamelia who suffered
:17:04. > :17:10.abuse at the hands of a partner for four years. Domestic abuse is not
:17:11. > :17:15.restrict it to a certain class or age. It happens to any woman,
:17:16. > :17:18.anywhere at any time. Unfortunately, for most of us, we probably know
:17:19. > :17:28.someone who is going through it right at this second. The charity
:17:29. > :17:32.Refuge says expert help is at hand. For Wendy, thankfully it is all in
:17:33. > :17:39.the past. She has a new husband unloving family and wants other
:17:40. > :17:46.women to know there is a way out. `` and a loving family.
:17:47. > :17:58.Find out how you can take home a famous musician while raising money
:17:59. > :18:09.for homeless families stop breast`cancer patients.
:18:10. > :18:16.Breast`cancer patients may then if it from a new type of research. They
:18:17. > :18:21.could receive more targeted treatment in the future as Katharine
:18:22. > :18:27.Carpenter now reports. Professor Louise Jones has spent
:18:28. > :18:32.nearly 20 years studying cancer of the cells which can develop in the
:18:33. > :18:36.milk ducts. It is the root cause of most breast cancer. Around 4800
:18:37. > :18:40.people are diagnosed with this type of cancer every year. In around half
:18:41. > :18:45.of them it will turn into something more serious known as invasive
:18:46. > :18:48.arrest cancer. Until now, researchers have not been able to
:18:49. > :18:58.tell who will be affected. `` invasive breast cancer. Now a team
:18:59. > :19:03.at Barts have found this `` a particular molecule is to blame.
:19:04. > :19:08.Testing patients will give a better idea about whether this breast
:19:09. > :19:12.cancer will develop. This gives us a better idea about how these early
:19:13. > :19:17.diseases behave. We will be able to separate the ones that perhaps we
:19:18. > :19:22.can leave and just watch and monitor, and those who really do
:19:23. > :19:28.need treating. That was not an offer on choice for Laura Simons when she
:19:29. > :19:32.was diagnosed eight years ago. Doctors could not tell her whether
:19:33. > :19:39.it would become invasive cancer so she had a mystic may. Women like me
:19:40. > :19:42.will have much more information say the prospect of having radical
:19:43. > :19:46.surgery will be much more reduced and that is very good news. I wish
:19:47. > :19:50.that information had been available when I was having treatment but I am
:19:51. > :19:57.pleased it will be available for the future. Professor Jones' research is
:19:58. > :20:05.funded by the charity breast Cancer campaign. It hopes testing for the
:20:06. > :20:10.molecule will be able `` will be available in five years time.
:20:11. > :20:19.Football, and tonight sees Crystal Palace manager take charge of his
:20:20. > :20:23.first home game. Both teams are under pressure.
:20:24. > :20:27.Crystal Palace are rock bottom of the Premier League and West Ham are
:20:28. > :20:41.three points above the relegation zone. Tony Pulis is taking the role
:20:42. > :20:47.for the first time. He is confident he can turn things around. Two games
:20:48. > :20:52.coming up. We are hoping we will get some breaks this time, that we will
:20:53. > :20:55.create the chances that we did the other night and get the breaks. We
:20:56. > :21:03.need a break as much as anything else. Good luck to Palace and West
:21:04. > :21:08.Ham. Also a new manager at Crawley. They have confirmed the former QPR
:21:09. > :21:12.boss John Gregory is taking over there. And on another note, not long
:21:13. > :21:19.until the BBC Sports Personality of the Year. Yes, the short list for
:21:20. > :21:22.the young Sports Personality of the Year were announced today. Some of
:21:23. > :21:27.those were from the capital. Dina Asha Smith turns 18 tomorrow. She
:21:28. > :21:36.won gold at the European Championships. Also Jessica Judd, an
:21:37. > :21:43.18`year`old from Canvey Island. She got a golden European Championships
:21:44. > :21:51.over 800 metres earlier this year. Amy Marron one a gold`medal and
:21:52. > :21:56.silvers at the Paralympic Championships and Amber Hill, the
:21:57. > :22:04.youngest record`holder of her sport of shooting has been short listed.
:22:05. > :22:09.The BBC Sports Centre is allowed to you of the year award is a week on
:22:10. > :22:13.Sunday. I feel sorry for the judges! Thank you.
:22:14. > :22:17.Celebrities like Emeli Sande, Jamie Cullum and will young are all used
:22:18. > :22:30.to having their photograph taken but the latest photograph is to raise
:22:31. > :22:33.money. Julia Savage can now look forward to
:22:34. > :22:39.Christmas. After living in a bed`and`breakfast with her son the
:22:40. > :22:45.young mother can now look forward to Christmas. We had to approach our
:22:46. > :22:47.local council. It is not knowing the system well enough, where you're
:22:48. > :22:56.going to live and what will happen that is why I called Shelter for
:22:57. > :23:01.some support. Jess is exhausted by the two`hour journey from her hostel
:23:02. > :23:05.to school. The latest Christmas appeal video by homeless charity
:23:06. > :23:11.Shelter highlights an increasing problem in the capital. 62,000
:23:12. > :23:14.children in London face waking up homeless or in temporary
:23:15. > :23:19.accommodation. We all know there is a shortage of housing in the capital
:23:20. > :23:26.and we have seen seven years of rising rents, cuts to wages and
:23:27. > :23:30.benefits and too many people are finding the loss of a job or a
:23:31. > :23:37.relationship breakdown can quickly spiral into losing their home. Paul
:23:38. > :23:42.Heneker is a London based photographer. He has collaborated
:23:43. > :23:50.with Shelter to produce some photographs which will be auctioned
:23:51. > :23:58.to raise money. The result of Paul's work is on display at a
:23:59. > :24:02.gallery in Hoxton. It has been four months of chasing musicians to
:24:03. > :24:06.produce these portraits, but every penny goes towards trying to find a
:24:07. > :24:12.safe and secure environment for homeless families. They get some
:24:13. > :24:16.good names to associate themselves with the charity and it is good
:24:17. > :24:21.publicist T4 Shelter and for music fans it is a one`off piece of art
:24:22. > :24:25.that they get the chance to bid for and hang on their wall back home.
:24:26. > :24:30.You can bid when the auction goes live on the charity website from the
:24:31. > :24:36.12th of December or view the exhibition until January.
:24:37. > :24:40.Great stuff, let's get a check on the weather with Peter.
:24:41. > :24:49.We will need to wrap up warm. I am sure you will have heard or read
:24:50. > :24:53.about the Arctic blast which is heading our way. Actually, for our
:24:54. > :24:58.little corner of the United Kingdom I think it will be more of a short,
:24:59. > :25:03.sharp winter shock. No sooner will be cold air have arrived, then the
:25:04. > :25:10.mild air will push it out of the way from the West. Rather chilly for a
:25:11. > :25:14.time at the end of the week. This evening, we have still got the cloud
