Good evening and welcome to BBC London. | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
A Government minister says he would support an appeal against a court's | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
decision to block the extradition of a convicted mafia boss to Italy. | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
Domenico Rancadore had been living in Uxbridge under an assumed name. | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
He was the subject of a European Arrest Warrant earlier this week but | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
some politicians are unhappy with the system. | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
He lived undisturbed in this suburban street for 20 years, and | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
this week, Domenico Rancadore won the right to stay here even longer. | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
A court refused a European arrest warrant because the telling him to | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
an overcrowded Italian jail would have preached his human rights. It | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
sums up how absurd the European arrest warrant is, that this country | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
will not extradite somebody who is a convicted individual. Every Italian | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
prosecutor will say, my lord, next time I try to get somebody a prison | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
sentence, a fellow EU member said our prisons are too dangerous. One | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
minister says he supports an appeal. Assurances can be given, this does | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
not mean we cannot extradite people to Italy. The focus is on working | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
that through, which is what the CPS and the Italian authorities will do, | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
so we can see that these warrants are upheld. This man was deported to | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
Greece aged 18, accused of killing a man in a nightclub. It took two | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
years for him to fight the case and clear his name, one of them was | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
spent in prison. Many members will the Corby case of Andrew. The | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
government says it recognises that in Andrew's case, something went | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
wrong. They changed to the law means people can only be extradited to | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
face trial abroad in future but not to face an investigation. Andrew is | :02:08. | :02:16. | |
not convinced. In my case, they claimed it, but do can not work with | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
them at all. It is a significant change. I am sure there is more we | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
can do at a European level, that we can continue to challenge on the | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
overall framework. It is something the European Parliament is getting | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
its teeth into. It is recognised that the warrant has helped in the | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
cross`border fight against crime. Around 100 Asian women had their | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
first taste of football yesterday when Luton Town invited them to | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
their match against Chester. It's part of a drive to improve | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
relationships with the local community. And the club might just | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
have gained a few new fans. Most of these women who live | :02:53. | :03:09. | |
locally, it is the first time they have been near a football match. I | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
am nervous, but not by what will happen. It is quite intimidating, to | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
hear about hooligans, but because it is a big group of us, we are OK. The | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
day has been organised by the National Asians in football forum, | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
which says the sport needs to do more to make women like this feel | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
welcome. It is about looking at the misconceptions that this community | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
has about football and what supporters have about this | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
community, and I hope it will be a sharing experience. Commercially, | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
they form a significant part of the demographic of Luton. The numbers | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
attending are relatively small, we want to increase that, because we | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
want to increase our revenues. It is a great atmosphere, it is unified. | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
The atmosphere is awesome, everybody is cheering. The songs that they are | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
sinking, it is quite good. It is their first time at the football, | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
they have been a bit confused about some of the songs they have heard, | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
so we are teaching them the words. The organisers want this much to be | :04:18. | :04:18. | |
the first of many for these funds. It is try and clear for the rest of | :04:19. | :04:32. | |
the night tonight, a cold and frosty start tomorrow. The temperatures | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
dropping just below freezing away from the towns. For tomorrow | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
morning, it is dry, with lots of sunshine. Cloud for the afternoon. | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
The temperatures are below average for the time of year. Outbreaks of | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
rain at times. And that's all from us. We'll be | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
back in Breakfast from 6am tomorrow morning, but from the late team, | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
have a very good night. Today's showers have almost gone | :04:58. | :05:13. | |
from eastern areas, it will be a classic radiation night, clear | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
skies, light winds, temperatures tumbling. The night could still get | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
down to -6 in rural Scotland and northern England, the coldest it has | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
been for quite a few months. It will not be as cold elsewhere. Cloud | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
arrives ahead of the weather front, which brings rain from the Atlantic | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
to western parts of the UK. Further east, it will be dry. Quite a bit of | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
sunshine, so a good-looking day across Scotland. Western areas | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
tending to cloud over later. It will cloud over quickly in Northern | :05:50. | :05:50. |
