London news. With the cost of studying at university in the | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
capital hitting more than ?23,000 a year, increasing numbers of students | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
are considering studying abroad. Today more than 50 universities from | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
around the world took part in an exhibition at the Emirates Stadium | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
to try and lure London's school leavers. Emma North reports. | :00:31. | :00:40. | |
London's reputation for attracting young people is unrivalled. The | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
capital is exciting and offer some of the world's best universities. | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
Why would hundreds of teenagers come here and is `` on a Saturday? These | :00:47. | :00:54. | |
young women are ambitious. They want to be dentists, economists, and | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
staying in London is not an option. Why limit yourself when you can go | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
abroad to the Netherlands or France or America West and mark it gives us | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
an opportunity to experience other cultures and it looks good when you | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
are applying for jobs in the future. Some of the world's best | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
universities are here. They offer good degrees. The mentality is | :01:18. | :01:25. | |
changing. When it comes to education or studying abroad. Initially it | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
seemed the Brits were not looking abroad to do their education. But | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
now with tuition fees being so high, people are forced to look elsewhere. | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
Money as a key topic. It costs around ?23,000 to live and study in | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
London every year. Many foreign universities say that using them can | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
be cheaper. If a university abroad offered student loans, I would go | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
there. Fees are very high and it is hard to get the money. When you | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
leave university, you have a massive loan. These are an important factor | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
to consider. Something academic bodies dispute. Universities UK | :02:07. | :02:08. | |

The life stories of young homeless people have been used as inspiration | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
for new street art in East London. A charity has commissioned graffiti | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
artists to create murals in Dalston and Shoreditch to raise money. Lara | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
Joannides has been to see how it works. | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
It is a common sight in parts of London. Here in Shoreditch it is | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
around every corner. One homeless charity is using street art to wear | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
those `` to raise awareness and money. This is a mural part of a | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
charity to keep young children off the streets. It tells the true story | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
of a young person who found themselves with nowhere to live. All | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
of the artists involved volunteered their time and talent to create the | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
works. Homelessness is often overlooked, especially in a city | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
like London which is so amazing and forward`thinking and futuristic. It | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
is hard to imagine there are people in the same city who do not have | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
anywhere to go or anyone to call on. The murals are also online where you | :03:50. | :03:59. | |

rough in the city has doubled since 2010. We work with about 1000 young | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
people in the year. London is a place young people are drawn to, | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
thinking the streets are paved with gold. At the same time, the | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
provision that is made for them is less than it was because of benefit | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
cuts and cuts in spending by local authorities. Charities are needing | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
to plug the gap. The works are as vulnerable to the outdoors as the | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
young people they are trying to help. While they may not last, it is | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
hoped their message will. The weather now and showers will | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
continue and through the evening and overnight. It'll be cold too with | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
the risk of frost as the temperature reaches a low of freezing overnight. | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
Tomorrow we could see hail and thunder as the mix of sunshine and | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
showers continues. That's it for now. We're back tomorrow evening, | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
just before 7pm. The Wind a lot showers around at the | :04:58. | :05:28. | |
moment, still hale and thunder too. As we turn the wind north-westerly, | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
these areas will bear the brunt of the showers overnight. A chilly | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
night, a touch of frost in rural areas. A few showers first thing. | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
Sunshine too. Cloud will bubble up and showers will develop in England | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
and Wales. The main focus in the afternoon is an eastern areas. | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
Across Wales and the south-west, very few showers all day. The | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
north-westerly wind lines the showers up in the afternoon. East | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
