:00:19. > :00:21.of a young mother who was found on fire in a South London street are
:00:22. > :00:24.speaking to two people who tried to save her. Police aren't treating her
:00:25. > :00:26.death as suspicious, but say they're still trying to find out what
:00:27. > :00:40.happened. Tributes to a young mother. Those
:00:41. > :00:46.who knew her came to pay their respects. She was such a lovely
:00:47. > :00:51.person. She is the definition of a strong woman, she has gone through a
:00:52. > :00:55.lot. She always put a smile on everybody else's face, she does what
:00:56. > :01:00.she can for her family. It is not clear what happened. We understand
:01:01. > :01:05.that the woman ran out of her house behind us, she was on fire.
:01:06. > :01:12.Neighbours heard screams as she ran across the road. She ran down the
:01:13. > :01:16.lane, across the level crossing, where she fell, and police
:01:17. > :01:20.understand that three people try to help her by putting out the flames.
:01:21. > :01:24.There are still many questions that surround her death, but two of the

:01:29. > :01:31.ongoing investigation. London Fire Brigade is to start
:01:32. > :01:34.charging hospitals, airports and other organisations if crews are
:01:35. > :01:39.called out to more than ten false alarms in a year. The service says
:01:40. > :01:41.it attended more than 25,000 false alarms last year, at a cost of
:01:42. > :01:54.nearly ?40 million. An everyday sight and sound, but,
:01:55. > :01:58.say London's Fire Brigade, too many of the alarms it's called out to are
:01:59. > :02:02.a waste of time. Now it says it's had enough, and repeat offenders
:02:03. > :02:06.will be getting a bill. The Fire Brigade says it will charge ?290 if
:02:07. > :02:11.it is called out to false alarms more than ten times a year. If the
:02:12. > :02:15.plans had been in place last year, they'd have raised ?800,000.
:02:16. > :02:23.London's hospitals alone would have had to pay nearly ?500,000 for 1,700
:02:24. > :02:26.false alarms. Top of the list was St George's Hospital in Tooting, with
:02:27. > :02:35.136 false alarms. Five more hospitals had more than 90. We would
:02:36. > :02:42.be perfectly happy if we did not have to charge a single penny to any
:02:43. > :02:46.organisation in London. What this is about is making sure that when a
:02:47. > :02:51.fire alarm goes off, it is taken seriously, when it does not need to
:02:52. > :02:56.go off, it does not go off, and to make sure that our fire crews are
:02:57. > :02:59.either training or available for real incidents, rather than sitting
:03:00. > :03:03.backwards and forwards across London, going to fall Salaam is all
:03:04. > :03:06.automatic fire alarms. The changes come in on New Year's Day. The NHS
:03:07. > :03:10.said today the number of false callouts was going down, and said it
:03:11. > :03:19.was the responsibility of staff only to call the Fire Brigade in a
:03:20. > :03:22.genuine emergency. A South London school is leading the
:03:23. > :03:24.way in the fight against homophobic bullying. The Government
:03:25. > :03:27.acknowledges it's a serious problem and is beginning to tackle the issue
:03:28. > :03:33.in secondary schools. But some activists believe the work needs to
:03:34. > :03:42.start much earlier. We would get text messages, phone
:03:43. > :03:46.calls. Here in Suffolk, teachers encourage children to talk about all
:03:47. > :03:50.kinds of hurtful behaviour they may experience. People making other
:03:51. > :03:56.people feel unhappy because they are gay. They found the negative use of
:03:57. > :03:59.the word gay is used by junk children, and payments have been
:04:00. > :04:06.supported in making a stand against it. `` young children. We have run a
:04:07. > :04:14.couple of workshops. The reaction has been positive and supportive
:04:15. > :04:19.throughout. Ben Cohen's foundation aims to stand up to bullying of all
:04:20. > :04:22.kinds. He says it is never too early to discuss even hurtful homophobic
:04:23. > :04:31.language. There is a way of doing it, that is not an age at which you
:04:32. > :04:40.cannot talk about it. It is important, if it is done sensibly,
:04:41. > :04:44.any issue, it is about acceptance and understanding. The Minister for
:04:45. > :04:47.women and equality is encouraging secondary schools to carry out
:04:48. > :04:51.research into homophobic language and bullying. She accepts this as a
:04:52. > :04:55.first step and there is much further to go. There will be a yacht of
:04:56. > :05:02.young people who might have same`sex parents or relatives, friends, older
:05:03. > :05:06.siblings who are gay, and so it is understood as part of the society we
:05:07. > :05:10.live in, and I am sure there will be a lot of schools that take this
:05:11. > :05:14.forward. But we have got to start somewhere, so we are starting where
:05:15. > :05:19.we know there is a definite problem, in secondary schools. It is up to
:05:20. > :05:25.individual schools have jumped to stop the debate, but here in south
:05:26. > :05:27.London, they are showing how positive the discussion can be.
:05:28. > :05:30.Residents in Highgate have until tomorrow to try to save a historic
:05:31. > :05:35.house that's under threat of being knocked down. Athlone House was
:05:36. > :05:40.built in the 19th century, but has since fallen into disrepair. The new
:05:41. > :05:41.owners say it's unrealistic to save it, but campaigners believe they
:05:42. > :05:53.have a duty to restore the building. Once home to troops suffering from
:05:54. > :05:58.shock shock during the First World War, this house was later turned
:05:59. > :06:03.into a secret RAF training base. But at the turn of the century, it was
:06:04. > :06:07.sold to private developers, and these photos show part of the
:06:08. > :06:12.building had started to decline. It is best seen from up here, in
:06:13. > :06:17.Hamstead Heath. It is a view enjoyed by many who come here to stroll,
:06:18. > :06:21.walk their dogs or taking the skyline. But the owners want to
:06:22. > :06:25.demolish the house and replace it with a luxury mansion. The
:06:26. > :06:30.development would include an underground swimming pool, and roof
:06:31. > :06:35.terrace. It is a plan that has rattled one of the more famous
:06:36. > :06:40.Ramblers. The heat is always under threat, it has been from the minute
:06:41. > :06:44.it was created, developers want to creep in and take it over, and it is
:06:45. > :06:48.taking away one of the great spaces of London. The Council gave the
:06:49. > :06:53.developers permission to build flats within the grounds of the house, so
:06:54. > :06:57.long as they restored the house. The flats were built but the renovation
:06:58. > :07:00.was never started. The owners argued because the house was in such poor
:07:01. > :07:06.condition, it was not realistic to restore it. Planning inspectors
:07:07. > :07:09.agreed it could be replaced if the new building had a high standard of
:07:10. > :07:14.design. The council says because of this, it can no longer in force the
:07:15. > :07:21.restoration, but those fighting to save the house do not agree. You
:07:22. > :07:25.cannot have people coming in and destroying historic buildings
:07:26. > :07:31.because they want something Falkirk, large, ostentatious in its place. It
:07:32. > :07:34.sets a dangerous precedent. Those wanting to preserve this patch of
:07:35. > :07:43.history have until tomorrow to raise their concerns with Camden Council.
:07:44. > :07:48.It has been horrible out there this morning.
:07:49. > :07:54.Yes, 50 mile now wind and rain. It has calmed down nicely. There might
:07:55. > :07:59.be a touch of Frost first thing, but it will be clouding over. The
:08:00. > :08:06.temperatures will pick up again. It is a rerun of what we have just had.
:08:07. > :08:11.We wake up tomorrow with the cloud. The rain moves through, accompanied
:08:12. > :08:16.by squally wind, but it will clear away, with some sunshine. The main
:08:17. > :08:21.rain is out of the way for the midnight fireworks. It will be
:08:22. > :08:22.windy. A wet and windy New Year's Day.
:08:23. > :08:27.That's it from us. We'll be back at 10:25pm tonight on BBC One. Hope you
:08:28. > :08:42.can join us then. Goodbye. Another day off strong winds, heavy
:08:43. > :08:47.rain and flooding. At least things are quiet at the moment. The rain
:08:48. > :08:52.has cleared off and the wind is lighter. There might be some ice in
:08:53. > :08:59.Scotland, but through the night, the wind picks up, lifting temperatures,
:09:00. > :09:03.but more heavy rain pushing in. The rain band is not quite a significant
:09:04. > :09:07.us today, but it will leave surface water flooding. Some heavy bursts
:09:08. > :09:14.clearing Northern Ireland by first light. It reaches the east coast by
:09:15. > :09:18.the time we get to lunchtime, after a few morning showers. The wind is
:09:19. > :09:22.falling lighter, easing down from the gusty nature. A bit of sunshine
:09:23. > :09:23.through the
