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