pollution levels will be that little bit lower. Thank you. That is it | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
from us this evening, now we join the BBC news teams where you are. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Tonight on BBC London News: Accused of using public cash for electoral | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
gain, the Mayor of Tower Hamlets hits back, claiming the BBC's | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
racist. Panorama stands by its journalism. We speak to charities on | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
both sides of the argument. Also tonight, flood`hit homeowners | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
get access to Government cash from today to help repair their | :00:25. | :00:35. | |
properties. I am in Berkshire, one of the county 's worst affected by | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
flooding, speaking to people who still have a long way to go to make | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
good the water damage. Plus, a warning to property | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
investors from one London borough ` leave homes empty and you could be | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
fined thousands. And how an old hair`raising art`form | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
takes centre stage at London's circus festival. | :00:52. | :01:06. | |
Good evening. First tonight, the Mayor of Tower Hamlets, accused by a | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
BBC programme of diverting public grants for electoral gain, has hit | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
back, claiming the allegations are driven by racism and Islamophobia. | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
Panorama found that Lutfur Rahman, the Bangladeshi Mayor of Tower | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
Hamlets, has more than doubled funding for Bengali and Somali`run | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
charities and cut funding for other organisations. Mr Rahman | :01:25. | :01:32. | |
categorically denies that this was done in return for support in a | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
forthcoming election. Alex Bushill reports. | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
It is a borough whose politics has long been mired in controversy. | :01:44. | :01:54. | |
Today it's mayor and the BBC... I will work for you and each and every | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
member of Tower Hamlets. Lutfer Rahman is accused by Panorama of | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
favouring Bengalis run charities with council funding. Other | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
organisations saw their funding drop a 25%. Not so, say one of the | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
biggest beneficiaries. It runs this lunch club and its manager told me | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
they have been favoured by councils of all political persuasions, not | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
just this mayor. Before him, the Labour Party was here. They funded | :02:32. | :02:41. | |
us. I think it is racist. What about other organisations? Give to | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
everyone. Speak to those who have lost out and another picture | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
emerges. This man has worked for the same charity in the borough for many | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
years. He fears his funding will be cut further if he is critical of the | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
mayor and his organisation is identified. In previous years the | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
process of applying for and getting grants was reasonably transparent. | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
In recent years, the process has become muddied and has resulted in | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
reductions in funding which in turn has meant reductions in services we | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
provide and the number of staff we ploy. There was no comment from the | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
town Hall today. The mayor refuse to be interviewed. He released a | :03:28. | :03:37. | |
statement saying that the painting `` portrait by Panorama bore little | :03:38. | :03:48. | |
relation to the truth. He accused the BBC of Islamophobia and | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
campaigning on behalf of his opponents in next month 's's | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
elections. The BBC apologised unreservedly after a list of secret | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
sources from the documentary were leaked to him by one of the | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
researchers. Nonetheless, the programme makers defended their | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
journalism. We have checked our figures and we are satisfied they | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
are robust. They will be presented to the government in Jude time. The | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
Secretary of State's experts will decide whether they are right or | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
wrong. The local MP weighed in as well. I think it is irresponsible | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
for the mayor of Tower Hamlets to go around making accusations of racism. | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
He will run out of people who he does not consider racist. The | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
government has said it will look at the claims saying it could send | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
inspectors into the borough to investigate. | :04:50. | :04:58. | |
Lots more to come tonight. I am in Los Angeles where they are using | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
revolutionary technology to track crime before it starts. London is | :05:05. | :05:13. | |
planning to go the same way. Thousands of people whose homes were | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
flooded over the winter will have access to Government cash from today | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
to help repair their properties. Homeowners can get up to ?5,000 as | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
part of the scheme, topping up any money they get from insurers. We can | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
find out more from Alice Bhandhukravi who's by the River | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
Thames now. Water levels have receded here. This | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
area was once completely flooded. There is still a long way to go for | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
people rebuilding their homes and livelihoods. Today news of the | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
government grant was welcome. Maggie has her work cut out. Since her home | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
was flooded the entire ground floor has had to be stripped and she has | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
had to move out. This was the kitchen. You can see everything has | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
gone, cupboards, walls, all of the units. It is likely to be expensive. | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
She will be taking up the Government's offer of a grant. I do | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
not know how far it will go. The whole place has had to be gutted on | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
the ground floor. The plasterboard has been taken off. The remnants of | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
the flooding are as visible as much outdoors as in, from sandbags to | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
sodden lawns. This couple whose floor had to be replaced will also | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
be hoping for some financial help. We have not finished yet. Any help | :06:40. | :06:48. | |
is likely to be good for you. Yeah. The carpet was ?1000. Like all other | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
homeowners, they will have to reply for the repair and renew grant | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
through their local council. There is a simple online application form | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
and they `` and we process it and recover the money from the | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
government. We have already had 13 applications as of an hour ago for | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
something which only went live today. No shortage of applicants. | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
Maddie is getting help from her friends and hopefully a little bit | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
of cash from her council. I am nervous but I have to look forward | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
and hope things get better soon. The funding has to go towards what is | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
being called flooding resilience and resistance measures, as opposed to | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
pure repair work. It can be for work already carried out or yet to be | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
carried out. Who determines what constitutes flooding resilience, it | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
will be down to local councils. Many thanks. | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
A 45`year`old woman and her toddler who were found dead in Hackney | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
yesterday have been named by police as Valerie Forde and Real`Jahzarah | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
McKoy. Ms Forde had had previous contact with the Met and the | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
incident has now been referred to the Independent Police Complaints | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
Commission. A 53`year`old man has been arrested on suspicion of | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
murder. A black policewoman who is suing the | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
Met for racial and sexual discrimination says that the force | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
has not learned lessons from a report which branded them | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
institutionally rascist. The 1999 Macpherson Review looked at the | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
investigation into the murder of Stephen Lawrence. Carol Howard told | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
the tribunal that they continue to discriminate. Scotland Yard says it | :08:32. | :08:45. | |
will robustly defend the claim. Union leaders say they fear budget | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
cuts at Kew Gardens could mean 125 jobs will be lost and affect | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
scientific research. ?5 million has got to be saved at the Royal | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
Botanical Gardens in the coming year. Directors say they hope to | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
avoid any compulsory job cuts or reductions in research. | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
Investors who buy properties in the capital and leave them unoccupied | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
could face fines of up to ?60,000 in one London borough. Islington says | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
it has a number of homes which are bought to capitalise on London's | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
housing market and are often left empty, without being rented out. The | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
council says it contributes to the current housing crisis. With more | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
details, here's our political editor, Tim Donovan. | :09:19. | :09:27. | |
There is a buzz of building along the city road but how many of these | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
new apartments will become homes Quetta ma Islington Council | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
estimates over the past few years around 300 properties in this part | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
of the borough have been bought simply to leave vacant accruing | :09:38. | :09:45. | |
value `` how many will become homes? It may be the time to use planning | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
flowers to charge owners as much as ?60,000 for flats left empty `` | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
planning powers. We want to make this realistic and workable but also | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
radical. How long would a flat have to be empty? We want to avoid flats | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
which left empty for 365 days a year. If someone comes for one | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
shopping day a year, that is not readily occupied either. Some said | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
they were not sure how it would be promoted. They may have legitimate | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
reasons `` how it would be implemented. The whole thing seems | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
exceedingly difficult. It seems to be a sledgehammer to crack a nut. | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
Islington claims it would raise money to go towards providing more | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
affordable homes. The Chancellor George Osborne introduced a 15% rate | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
stamp duty in the budget on property bought by companies. There is a | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
reluctance to intervene too heavily in the market. Councils have the | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
power to levy an extra 50% of council tax on properties left | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
vacant. But it is hard to establish at the moment whether a property has | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
been left empty. Some say the trend is exaggerated. Islington council | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
says it could work because it would require owners to prove use, say | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
through producing a utility bill. Others will take some convincing. | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
Immigration Minister insisted today that a Mauritian student must be | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
deported. He said all of the facts of the case involving the | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
19`year`old had been considered but were not of an exceptional nature | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
required for his intervention. The A`level student has been detained at | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
an immigration centre. Looking at the facts of the case, we concluded | :11:45. | :11:54. | |
that as ministers it is I think exceptional when you intervene in | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
the process. After weighing this heavily, we felt there was not this | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
justification for us to intercede. This week, as dust from the Sahara | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
has been making the capital's poor air quality even worse. BBC London | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
has learnt that the Mayor's plans to try and get people to stop driving | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
during high pollution have been dropped. Campaigners have criticised | :12:16. | :12:17. | |
the move as a missed opportunity. Our environment correspondent, Tom | :12:18. | :12:25. | |
Edwards, has more. It has been covering cars all over | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
the capital, dust from the Sahara. It has been adding to the pollution | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
already caused by traffic. In 2010, the mayor said he would try to | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
persuade drivers not to use their vehicles during episodes of high | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
pollution. They are called action days and work in the same way as | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
warnings given to commuters to avoid busy stations during the Olympics. | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
Since then, not much. We should be using an Olympic style travel demand | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
light. Up to one in ten people might change their behaviour so on smog | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
days or other days when there are big events on, what we can do is | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
encourage people to work at home, maybe walk or cycle, use public | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
transport, but not drive a diesel vehicle into the most polluted parts | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
of London. In Paris recently, some cars were banned on Sundays to | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
reduce pollution. According to this data from Kings, twice during that | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
week London's air`quality was actually worse. City Hall now | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
believes changing driver behaviour does not work long`term and has | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
dropped action days. Instead there is a proposal for an ultralow | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
emission zone and hybrid buses. We need to tackle it across a whole | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
range of ways. Cleaner vehicles, encouraging planting more trees, | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
tens of thousands of more trees, encouraging people to walk and | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
cycle. There is no doubt London still faces a serious problem. But | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
it is starting to come down. The capital still faces potential | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
European fines over its poorer quality. Campaigners say action is | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
needed much more quickly. On that note, still to come this | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
evening, air pollution remains high into tomorrow. There is fresh air | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
eventually. A day when you can wash the Saharan dust off the car. The | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
forecast coming later. Next, to what extent should | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
technology be used to help fight crime? Well, the Met's planning to | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
test a new type of computer software which aims to predict where a crime | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
is likely to occur. A similar scheme is being used in Los Angeles where | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
it's getting great results, as our home affairs correspondent Guy Smith | :14:59. | :15:12. | |
explains. We are here to make sure you don't get hurt. Starting his | :15:13. | :15:20. | |
shift in the foothill area of Los Angeles, and a computer has informed | :15:21. | :15:29. | |
the police where the crime is likely to happen. In the past, officers | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
like John would rely on instinct and knowledge of the street. Policing | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
was more of an art, now it is also becoming a science, using technology | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
like this to stop crime before it starts. These boxes show tiny areas | :15:46. | :15:55. | |
of no more than 500 foot by 500 foot. We want to be visible, we want | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
to make sure people can see us. We want to tell the bad guys, whatever | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
you think you are going to do, you are not going to do it here and now. | :16:07. | :16:13. | |
It wasn't long before suspected bad guy was questioned. Dale Welch is 43 | :16:14. | :16:23. | |
and an alcoholic. He has been in trouble before with the LAPD but | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
this time he has done nothing wrong, and Sergeant Gompertz lets | :16:27. | :16:36. | |
him go. I have seen what the LAPD have done to people but lately they | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
have been more co`operative, more relaxed, and they give you a chance | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
now. 20 years ago they were sticking pins in a map, now they are using | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
software to predict crime. There is no forecasted crying for this 12 | :16:55. | :17:02. | |
hour period except for in this box. This captain is an evangelist for | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
predictive policing. He collect data like memorabilia. We have seven | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
years of data run through an algorithm, showing us where we need | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
to be and when we need to be there and that is why we are using the | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
most accurate tool we have. Over the last year, crime has fallen by | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
almost 30%. Burglary this year is down dramatically. We still ask the | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
officers to use their knowledge and experience when they get there, we | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
are just telling them where is the highest probability crime will | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
occur. The idea came from one of America's top universities. | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
Criminals behaving very regular and normal ways, and we attach onto | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
those patterns. We analyse where and when crimes have occurred, and it is | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
in sorting out the relevance of what has happened recently versus the | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
long term that we can predict when and where crimes will occur. Some | :18:11. | :18:20. | |
organisations are concerned. Using a computer is a good thing, but any | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
time officers are told to saturate a small area with police resources | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
with aggressive policing, there is a danger they will cross the line. If | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
this technology works, supporters believe you will have more of | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
these, empty jail cells. This is preventative. We are denying the | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
criminals the opportunity to commit the crime in the first place. This | :18:47. | :18:58. | |
is the future too. Not only the computer, but also a friendly face | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
in uniform. Next time when they are trying to solve a crime, it may be a | :19:04. | :19:11. | |
little easier. Guy's with me. As you mentioned, | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
these high`tech methods aren't substituting good old fashioned | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
policing techniques? There is always a need for intuition and a knowledge | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
of the street, but science and technology is playing a bigger role, | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
and with budget cuts, senior police leaders need to use their resources | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
in the most cost`effective way. With the Met police, they have a | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
home`grown algorithm, they have been working closely with University | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
College London, but they are also looking at products from abroad as | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
we have seen in my film, and they are looking to the most accurate | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
system of predicting crime in the future. Could we see this being used | :19:47. | :19:54. | |
more permanently here in London? Yes, they are trialling it in five | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
London boroughs. What took them some two or three days to number crunch | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
takes the computer just seconds. The jury is out in whether this will be | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
embraced in London because if you look at the experience in LA, 21 | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
divisions there, and I'm told that just six or seven police commanders | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
are using this predictive policing. As you saw in the film, they are | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
having huge success and I told privately that, look, I am wanting | :20:28. | :20:35. | |
my tail because when I am held to account on my statistics, I no | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
longer have to go to the meetings but the other commanders do. Thank | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
you. Middlesex County cricket club are | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
hoping to improve on a fifth place finish last season when they start | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
their new campaign on Sunday. The county has been boosted following | :20:50. | :20:51. | |
the news that their Director of Cricket, Angus Fraser, has been | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
chosen to sit on the England selection panel. But the former | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
England bowler remains confident that his new role won't impact on | :20:58. | :21:07. | |
his Middlesex duties. There will be some time that it takes up, but | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
Middlesex are more than happy for me to do this. I think I have got a lot | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
to give so I am looking forward to it. | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
The art of circus has really evolved over recent years, competing with | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
theatre, ballet and dance for audiences. This year's Circus | :21:23. | :21:24. | |
Festival at the Roundhouse in Camden is their most ambitious yet and | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
includes the ancient art of hair hanging. It has to be seen to be | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
believed. Here's our Arts Correspondent, Brenda Emmanus. | :21:33. | :21:43. | |
Combining acrobatics, madcap humour, and the rarely seen skill of Russian | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
swing, they are enticing audiences to the Roundhouse in Camden. The | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
performance are months 30 international and home`grown talent | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
performing at the CircusFest. Contemporary circus is about | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
celebrating the amazing thing the human body can do, it is definitely | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
becoming more popular across the UK, and I think the Roundhouse is | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
becoming more known for doing circus. We have companies we have | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
been working with for three or four years who have come up through the | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
Roundhouse or done other things in other parts of London, making their | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
own shows. The rebranding of the Circus space in Hoxton last month as | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
the National Centre for circus arts was significant, confirming this | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
popery of athletic entertainment as an artform in its own right. Circus | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
as we know it has come of age and this year's event is the biggest and | :22:43. | :22:50. | |
boldest they have ever staged. From sky walking and juggling two more | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
left`field skills such as hair hanging. They closely guard their | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
performance, preferring to surprise their audience with their grace and | :23:00. | :23:08. | |
skills. Prepare to watch in awe. It is a secret, so with our shows we | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
wanted to keep this secret part of it. Circus has had its roots in | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
London since the 18th century and this new wave of talent have evolved | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
to compete and collaborate with other art forms. A lot of what | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
CircusFest is about is going and meeting people, being part of circus | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
networks, looking at how we can support the circus industry around | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
the world. And the Circus world comes to Camden and other venues | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
until the 27th of April. We have got the hair, but we cannot | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
do that. until the 27th of April. | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
We have got the hair, Leave it to the expert! We have had lots of chat | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
around the air pollution in London. It remains high today and will be | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
high again tomorrow. The pink you can see on the map is the very high | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
area, and elsewhere this is where it is high and it is because we have | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
the Saharan dust being blown in, we have industrial pollution being | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
blown in from the nearby continents, and then we have our own of course. | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
From Thursday it will freshen up. Midweek will bring very warm weather | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
our way with some hazy sunshine as well. This evening and overnight, | :24:33. | :24:39. | |
that warm feeling will continue with some cloud drifting around, light | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
winds and some clearer skies. We might get some showers cropping up | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
here and there, but the most of us it will be a mild night. We start | :24:50. | :24:58. | |
the day tomorrow with some sunshine, and I think we will hang onto that | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
for the most part through most of the morning. It might start to turn | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
hazy as we go through the afternoon, and perhaps something | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
thicker as we go to the end of the day. Temperatures will be in the mid | :25:11. | :25:20. | |
to high teens with temperatures of up to 22 degrees in London. As we | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
get to Thursday, a bright enough start of the day, but it will cloud | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
over. A weather front will freshen the air and make it cool as we go | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
into the weekend, but it looks like the fine conditions will continue | :25:36. | :25:36. | |
now and then. The main headlines. A report from | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
