We are not losing these kids permanently. It is about getting the

experience outside the country and bringing it back to benefit the

:01:02.:01:05.

global City of London. Three people have been taken to

:01:06.:01:08.

hospital after a collision between a marked police car and a bus in

:01:09.:01:11.

Surrey. The crash happened on the Guildford Road in Ottershaw, near

:01:12.:01:14.

the roundabout at St Peter's Way at around eight o'clock last nhght

:01:15.:01:16.

Surrey Police are appealing for witnesses.

:01:17.:01:20.

Controversial plans to build a tower block in Waterloo have been upheld

:01:21.:01:23.

by the High Court, despite fears it could damage London's herit`ge. Both

:01:24.:01:27.

Westminster Council and English Heritage objected to the

:01:28.:01:29.

development, saying it would obscure world famous views of the Houses of

:01:30.:01:35.

Parliament and Westminster @bbey. But the judge said it would provide

:01:36.:01:38.

a much needed boost to the Waterloo area.

:01:39.:01:42.

The life stories of young homeless people have been used as inspiration

:01:43.:01:45.

for new street art in East London. A charity has commissioned gr`ffiti

:01:46.:01:48.

artists to create murals in Dalston and Shoreditch to raise mondy. Lara

:01:49.:01:53.

Joannides has been to see how it works.

:01:54.:01:59.

It is a common sight in parts of London. Here in Shoreditch ht is

:02:00.:02:03.

around every corner. Now ond homeless charity is using street art

:02:04.:02:06.

to raise awareness and monex for vulnerable young people. Thhs is one

:02:07.:02:12.

of five eros decorating walls across east London as part of Depatl's

:02:13.:02:15.

campaign to keep young people off the streets. It's my tells the life

:02:16.:02:20.

story of a young person who has found themselves with nowhere to

:02:21.:02:24.

live. She had a horrible tile with domestic violence and alcoholism.

:02:25.:02:29.

All of the artists volunteered their time and talent to create the works.

:02:30.:02:35.

Homelessness is often overlooked, especially in a city like London

:02:36.:02:40.

that is so amazing and forward`thinking and futuristic It

:02:41.:02:43.

is hard to imagine that there's people in the same city who don t

:02:44.:02:46.

have anywhere to go or anyone to call on. The murals are also

:02:47.:02:53.

online, where people can bux off sections of the digital walls,

symbolically moving part of the homeless person's story of the

:02:58.:03:02.

street by donation. The stories are not new. Youth homelessness has been

:03:03.:03:05.

a problem in the capital for many years but according to the latest

:03:06.:03:08.

figures, the number of young people sleeping rough in the city has more

:03:09.:03:13.

than doubled since 2010. We work with about 1000 young peopld in a

:03:14.:03:17.

year. London is a place where young people are drawn to, thinking the

:03:18.:03:20.

streets are paved with gold. At the same time, the provision made for

:03:21.:03:27.

them is less than it was because of benefit cuts and cuts in spdnding by

:03:28.:03:30.

local authorities. Charities are needing to plug the gap. Thd works,

:03:31.:03:36.

of course, are as vulnerabld to the outdoors as the young peopld that

:03:37.:03:40.

are trying to help. While they may not last, it is hoped the mdssage

:03:41.:03:45.

will. And now a quick look `t the weather. A mixture of sunny spells

:03:46.:03:48.

and showers this afternoon. It could feel cool with a top temper`ture of

:03:49.:03:51.

11 degrees. That's all from us this lunchtime

:03:52.:03:54.

but I'll be back with our evening news at 5.20 this evening. Bye`bye.

:03:55.:04:08.

Hello. The weekend started with snowcapped hills and blue sky. Since

:04:09.:04:15.

then, more clout has built and the showers have broken out widely. Some

:04:16.:04:21.

heavy downpours and hell stones -- he'll stones. This is all part and

:04:22.:04:26.

parcel of the colder weather weekend. There is a wintry flavour

:04:27.:04:34.

to the showers. It is snow we and there are frosty and icy nights

:04:35.:04:37.

Over recent hours, you can see the cloud has built up as the showers

:04:38.:04:43.

have developed. There are organised showers moving east across England

:04:44.:04:46.

over the next two hours, and there
