Good evening. Scotland Yard says it was its | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
biggest ever operation against a suspected criminal gang. A series of | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
early morning raids across north London on people they believe work | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
with the Adams family ` alleged to be a criminal network. 200 officers | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
were involved and 15 people were arrested on suspicion of money | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
laundering, fraud and conspiracy to assault. Our reporter, Nick Beake, | :00:31. | :00:38. | |
joined the police operation in the early hours. | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
5:00am, in Highgate, north London, a secret operation, months in the | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
planning is coming to a head. Much of the capital is still sleeping. | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
Including here. Not for much longer. Go, go, go! Police! As the police | :00:54. | :01:03. | |
pile in, a dog escapes and disappears through the deserted | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
streets. Inside the one`bedroom basement flat, a detailed search is | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
under way. The police have been inside for about five minutes. | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
They're looking for cash, passports and any documentation. It's not yet | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
6:00am and this is one of 20 locations they're raiding. The Met | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
say they're hitting a group they suspect of being one of London's and | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
the country's longest established organised crime gangs. The police | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
haven't named them, but it is believed they're the Adams family, | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
said to be one of the most feared crime families during the 80s and | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
90s. Officers say accountants, mortgage brokers and property | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
developers were among those taken into custody after detectives | :01:42. | :01:49. | |
followed a money trail. We're using the Proceeds of Crime Act to seize | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
their illegally obtained assets Assets that we believe have heaped | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
misery on to communities. We will look at the high value goods, | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
property, vehicles and cash in particular. Police say in the past | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
24 hours 200 police officers have seized firearms, expensive watches | :02:10. | :02:17. | |
and around ?150,000 in cash. Among those arrested this morning a | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
57`year`old man and his wife. He was detained on suspicion of money | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
laundering. Back in Highgate, a suspect is brought out and taken | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
away for questioning. So far no one arrested today has been charged But | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
the police claim this represents an important moment in their ongoing | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
fight against organised crime. A four`year sentence handed to a | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
south London man who killed someone with a single punch is being | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
reviewed by the Attorney`General. 20`year`old Lewis Gill from Sutton | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
hit Andrew Young in an unprovoked attack in Bournemouth in November | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
last year. Mr Young who had Asperger's Syndrome, suffered a head | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
injury and died later in hospital. 40 complaints have been made, | :03:06. | :03:06. | |
criticising the sentence as too lenient. | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
Work to increase capacity on one of the region's busiest rail routes is | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
running nearly a year behind schedule. South West Trains is | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
refurbishing and adding more carriages to its services in | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
Berkshire. While the company blames contractors for missed deadlines and | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
faults, South West Trains is being accused of being over ambitious | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
30 of London's worst junctions for cyclists and pedestrians are to be | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
transformed to make them safer. ?300 million will be spent ripping out | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
some of the capital's most famous roundabouts and gyratory systems. | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
Tarah Welsh is at Elephant and Castle with more. | :03:45. | :03:56. | |
This announcement means the end of what Boris Johnson describes as a | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
London's nastiest and biggest junctions. He describes them as | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
relics of the 60s. At this roundabout here at elephant and | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
Castle, it will be going along with seven others in a bid to make | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
London's roads safer for cyclists. Civilised places for cyclists and | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
pedestrians is what the mayor said he wanted today. They will probably | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
look something like this. But instead, here is the reality for | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
many cyclists on their daily commute, crossing busy junctions | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
with cars and heavy goods. The elephant and Castle roundabout has | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
the highest cycle casualty rate in London, but it will be removed along | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
with several others. There is a ?300 million programme to improve safety | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
and improve the lives of cyclists and pedestrians at Aldgate, Swiss | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
Cottage and Wandsworth, amongst other places. Across London, 33 | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
junction will be transformed. As well as elephant and Castle, other | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
areas like Archway, Aldgate, Swiss Cottage and Wandsworth will have | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
their systems replaced with two`way roads and segregated cycle tracks. | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
But more junctions were earmarked and there is criticism not including | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
them in the programme is a mistake. Sadly there is over 80 junctions | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
that were previously identified as danger hotspots in London. They are | :05:30. | :05:37. | |
not being included. If the mayor had not been underspending on his | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
cycling budget every year, it is up to ?150 million underspent, that | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
money could have been used to get on with the work and we could have had | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
those junctions made safe by now. But City Hall says spending the most | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
money on fewer difference `` fewer junctions will make the most | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
difference. Exactly when will be in the detail and that will not be | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
published until next month. That lack of detail makes it very | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
difficult to cyclists to scrutinise the plans. But campaigners have | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
welcomed the announcement. It is so important, because last year in a | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
two`week period, six cyclists were killed. They say anything to improve | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
London's roads for cyclists is a step in the right direction. | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
That's it from me, so I'll wish you a very goodnight and hand you over | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
to Wendy for the weather. We have tricky weather to forecast | :06:33. | :06:44. | |
on Friday and Saturday. But that the end of the week it is turning | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
colder, windier and wetter. There might be wet snow in the mix and | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
gusty winds in places. Straightforward at the moment, clear | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
skies to be replaced by cloud and eventually comes the rain as well. | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
That will be heavy in places, but it goes through quickly and | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
temperatures will fall down to four to six Celsius. If you are up early, | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
the rain will clear through the rush hour quickly. Then there is a lull | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
in proceedings with wheezy conditions. That Breeze will bring | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
showers through in the mid afternoon. Haps the odd rumble of | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
thunder and hail. Temperatures around 10 degrees. It will be a wet | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
day on Friday, wet snow around and a breeze blowing as | :07:31. | :07:31. | |
day on Friday, wet snow around and a breeze blowing as well. Tricky into | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
the weekend. And now we have the national forecast. | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
Good evening. We know it has been a wet winter but it has also been mild | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
and across England and Wales, lacking in snow. The last day of the | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
season which we measure on Friday, might provide a bit of it. Friday's | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
weather is coming from the small area of low pressure. These tiny | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
low-pressure systems are difficult to track and a subtle change in | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
position could have a big impact. Tonight we have more | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
straightforward, a weather front spreading out rakes of rain across | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
most areas. Turning windy as well. The rain will be heavy but will move | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
through quickly because of the strength of the wind and it will be | :08:21. | :08:21. |
