:00:00. > :00:00.brightness between the clouds. The outlook is mixed. Thank you. That is
:00:00. > :00:11.all from us for now, now we joined the BBC News teams where you are.
:00:12. > :00:15.Tonight on BBC London News: The house price gap between London and
:00:16. > :00:21.the rest of the UK is the widest on record. It is a bit scary. It seems
:00:22. > :00:24.that you can only live in London if you are minted.
:00:25. > :00:35.We examine the Mayor's plans to help solve the housing crisis.
:00:36. > :00:39.ALso tonight: Victory for the Ford workers who took on the car giant
:00:40. > :00:40.over millions of pounds of lost pensions.
:00:41. > :00:43.Will Terminal two have a more successful opening than neighbouring
:00:44. > :00:46.T5? Passengers test out the new facilities at Heathrow.
:00:47. > :01:00.Plus, the move to get more women to take up the baton.
:01:01. > :01:06.Good evening. The gap between house prices in London and the rest of the
:01:07. > :01:09.country has reached a record high. Prices in the capital have risen by
:01:10. > :01:14.18% over the last year according to the Nationwide Building Society.
:01:15. > :01:19.That's almost double the national average. It's potentially good news
:01:20. > :01:21.for homeowners. But for those already struggling to get onto the
:01:22. > :01:31.property ladder, owning their own home now seems even more out of
:01:32. > :01:38.reach. First night, the mayor's plans to find a solution. Today
:01:39. > :01:41.Boris Johnson's opponents accused him for failing to get a grip on the
:01:42. > :01:47.problem. Here is our political editor.
:01:48. > :01:51.Some do not like what the mayor is allowing to happen to the skyline.
:01:52. > :01:55.He says tall buildings are fine in the right place. They will be needed
:01:56. > :02:02.to fulfil the target of 42,000 new homes a year. The problems we face
:02:03. > :02:09.have been 30 years in the making. I think you will agree that the
:02:10. > :02:14.panoply of measures we are bringing together give us a better chance of
:02:15. > :02:18.dealing with London's housing crisis than any previous plan. The pace of
:02:19. > :02:23.affordable building has slackened. In his first mayoral term with a
:02:24. > :02:28.flourish just before his real action, there were 57,000 affordable
:02:29. > :02:35.homes completed. In the last two years, there have just been 18,000.
:02:36. > :02:41.His target now of 42,000 homes of all kinds each year includes 17,000
:02:42. > :02:47.deemed affordable of which 4500 will be for social rent. I do not think
:02:48. > :02:51.he can sit there and get away with saying how wonderful his record has
:02:52. > :02:57.been when the figures for the number of homes being built in the city
:02:58. > :03:02.every year do not back the clam up. There is a social aspect to this.
:03:03. > :03:06.People in low paid jobs will be driven out of the centre. Longer
:03:07. > :03:10.working days for them come less time with their children, it is a social
:03:11. > :03:16.problem we will have to deal with later. And generally a much lower
:03:17. > :03:24.quality of life. Concerns about the rising cost of renting, but rent
:03:25. > :03:30.controls were rejected. It has tended to destroy the private rented
:03:31. > :03:34.sector and reduce the quality of housing as a result. By using land
:03:35. > :03:39.owned by the Greater London authority like this site, creating
:03:40. > :03:42.housing zones and working closely with developers, the mayor believes
:03:43. > :03:48.he can get the Capitol Building again.
:03:49. > :03:53.Our reporter joins us now. I know you spent the day in Peckham. First,
:03:54. > :04:00.remind us of the headline figures. In London, house prices have gone up
:04:01. > :04:04.18% in the past year. The Nationwide Building Society says a typical
:04:05. > :04:11.London house prices more than ?360,000. That is the strongest
:04:12. > :04:15.growth since 2003. We were in Peckham today and it is amazing how
:04:16. > :04:20.news of the latest rise was greeted. We spoke to a lady who got her house
:04:21. > :04:26.in Peckham Rye 18 years ago and she thinks the value has gone up
:04:27. > :04:31.ninefold. Down the road, we met Melanie. She knows all about buying
:04:32. > :04:35.and selling. She is an estate agent. An indication of how tough it
:04:36. > :04:39.is for first`time buyers, she can't get on the property ladder. That
:04:40. > :04:44.gives you an indication of the challenges. We had a look at the
:04:45. > :04:50.figures. It is interesting. Every London borough except for one,
:04:51. > :04:55.Harrow, saw at least a 10% rise in property prices. The three highest,
:04:56. > :05:03.Brent, up 31%. Lambert, 30%. Southwark, 26%. The growth numbers
:05:04. > :05:09.just highlight for people trying to move house, it is just becoming
:05:10. > :05:15.harder to reach. Also today whenever we hear these figures, we talk about
:05:16. > :05:18.fears of a housing bubble which ultimately will burst. The
:05:19. > :05:22.Nationwide Building Society have been saying in terms of the future
:05:23. > :05:28.it is not sustainable. Wages are not going up at the rate rapidly prices
:05:29. > :05:31.are. Their chief economist was talking about a more sustained
:05:32. > :05:36.slowdown in property prices. Traditionally London has done well
:05:37. > :05:41.when other parts of the country have fallen into negative equity. For
:05:42. > :05:46.now, people are prepared to pay way over the odds. For now, thank you.
:05:47. > :05:52.Let us cross now to join our political editor who is at City
:05:53. > :05:57.Hall. We have just heard from Nick. Some of the headline figures.
:05:58. > :06:02.Earlier we heard from the mayor. Is he right to feel optimistic? I think
:06:03. > :06:06.there is certainly room for optimism about the overall house`building
:06:07. > :06:10.picture. The pace does appear to be picking up. The signs are that more
:06:11. > :06:14.registrations are coming forward from developers saying they are
:06:15. > :06:17.about to build. The question is whether it will be the right kind of
:06:18. > :06:24.housing in the right areas meeting local needs. And the big question of
:06:25. > :06:28.affordability. During an economic slowdown, developers were building
:06:29. > :06:33.fewer homes to sell because the demand was not so great. The
:06:34. > :06:39.Conservative mayor was elbowedG able to build affordable homes using
:06:40. > :06:43.money from a Labour government providing subsidy to the developers.
:06:44. > :06:49.Encourage them. Under the coalition government, the investment available
:06:50. > :06:52.has contracted considerably. In the last two years, there has been a
:06:53. > :06:59.slowdown of house`building of all kinds. Now we see this sign of
:07:00. > :07:03.economic recovery, we see the pace, we can see the house values over the
:07:04. > :07:10.last year and that is a signal to developers. They want to build more
:07:11. > :07:21.and there are signs of that already. The question, the test for the
:07:22. > :07:24.mayor, is he getting, is he leave ring enough affordable housing out
:07:25. > :07:33.of the developers? Is he prepared to let them build when there is not
:07:34. > :07:39.enough affordable homes? `` is he getting enough affordable housing? A
:07:40. > :07:44.lot at stake. It is a big issue. Not just the power over housing budget,
:07:45. > :07:49.but there is a lot of land he has been given, particularly any London.
:07:50. > :07:54.40% in Barking alone. There is a pressure for him to generate more
:07:55. > :07:59.housing and land where he can pull the levers and get transport
:08:00. > :08:03.infrastructure as well. A number of people are beginning to say, does he
:08:04. > :08:06.like these tall buildings full of apartments close to the River that
:08:07. > :08:11.are of interest to foreign investors? Does he like them too
:08:12. > :08:17.much? Is he paying enough attention to creating more family immunity
:08:18. > :08:27.based housing throughout London? `` community`based housing. Thank you.
:08:28. > :08:30.Coming up later in the programme: A call for councils to do more to
:08:31. > :08:40.prevent cycling deaths in the capital.
:08:41. > :08:44.A Met Police firearms officer who's taken the force to an employment
:08:45. > :08:47.tribunal today said she felt frightened and threatened by her
:08:48. > :08:49.line manager. Carol Howard also alleged she received less favourable
:08:50. > :08:52.treatment than others, citing racial and sexual discrimination. Our home
:08:53. > :08:57.affairs correspondent Guy Smith is outside Scotland Yard now. Remind us
:08:58. > :09:07.why this case has ended up at a tribunal. She claims she alerted the
:09:08. > :09:11.Met Police twice about allegations against her line manager for
:09:12. > :09:17.bullying and disco nation. Once in 2012 and once last year ``
:09:18. > :09:22.discrimination. She claimed there was an inadequate investigation.
:09:23. > :09:26.Carol Howard is a firearms officer for the diplomatic protection group
:09:27. > :09:32.who protect embassies and government ministers. She says there are 700
:09:33. > :09:40.officers and she is only one of two lack female officers in the
:09:41. > :09:44.specialist elite unit. `` black. She has had an unblemished career. No
:09:45. > :09:49.complaints against her from the public or her peers will stop she
:09:50. > :09:52.says, I quote, as a black woman, it was hard enough to fit into this
:09:53. > :10:00.organisation. She says she has worked hard to perform. She claims
:10:01. > :10:04.her career was sabotaged by her line manager because she was a black
:10:05. > :10:11.female. Ironically, London 2012, during the Olympics, she became the
:10:12. > :10:18.poster girl, you may say, for the diplomatic protection group. Now she
:10:19. > :10:22.thinks that was just tokenism. A difficult and challenging time for
:10:23. > :10:26.the Met Police given their targets for recruitment. Absolutely. Then at
:10:27. > :10:33.Hogan Howe, the commissioner, only last week he was talking about a
:10:34. > :10:36.50`50 recruitment policy `` Sir Bernard Hogan`Howe. He wants one
:10:37. > :10:42.ethnic minority officer for every white officer. Whatever the
:10:43. > :10:46.outcome, it is not encouraging for people to join. Tomorrow it is
:10:47. > :10:51.expected but we have not got confirmation that the Acting
:10:52. > :10:54.Inspector David Kelly will defend himself against the allegations. He
:10:55. > :11:02.will be one of 12 witnesses for the Met Police. Thank you.
:11:03. > :11:05.A father who stabbed his son to death has been convicted of his
:11:06. > :11:11.murder. George Josef, 77, attacked his son with a kitchen knife last
:11:12. > :11:20.October. A court heard he intervened in a row between his mother and
:11:21. > :11:23.father regarding rent. The suspect in trail of the murder
:11:24. > :11:26.of PC Keith Blakelock during the Broadwater Farm riots in 1985 has
:11:27. > :11:29.declined to give evidence in his defence. The policeman was killed as
:11:30. > :11:32.he and other officers went to assist firefighters at a blaze on the
:11:33. > :11:35.Tottenham estate. Nicky Jacobs who was 16 at the time is accused of
:11:36. > :11:46.stabbing the policeman to death during the riots. He denies the
:11:47. > :11:49.charges. The car manufacturer Ford has
:11:50. > :11:51.reached a deal with the Unite union in a long`running dispute over more
:11:52. > :11:55.than 1,000 workers' pensions. Plants in Basildon and Enfield were taken
:11:56. > :11:58.over by a company called Visteon in 2000. But employees there claim they
:11:59. > :12:01.lost up to half their pensions when Visteon went into administration
:12:02. > :12:06.five years ago. Today Ford has made an undisclosed offer to those
:12:07. > :12:11.affected. Our political correspondent Karl Mercer has the
:12:12. > :12:14.latest. Marching for what could be the last
:12:15. > :12:17.time, the former Ford workers who've spent five years fighting the
:12:18. > :12:23.company to try and get more of their pension money back. Many had spent
:12:24. > :12:27.decades working for Ford and were transferred to another company
:12:28. > :12:30.called Visteon. They were told their pensions would be protected, but
:12:31. > :12:40.when the first went bust in 2009, they were hit in the pocket. I
:12:41. > :12:46.thought either security in retirement and to find that I had
:12:47. > :12:54.lost 40% of it and had to pay money back, it was a bit of a below. All
:12:55. > :13:01.of the plans I had for my latter years have been dissolved overnight
:13:02. > :13:06.yeah it was a bitter blow. I will keep going if we do not get what we
:13:07. > :13:13.want. What was mine, what I paid in, that is what they owe me. I want
:13:14. > :13:19.it back. Today it appears a deal could be on the table. The deal will
:13:20. > :13:23.be put to the pensioners next week. It is not going to be all that we
:13:24. > :13:29.want. It is not going to be what we deserve, but it will go a long way.
:13:30. > :13:32.That is I think a victory. It's believed around 1,500 pensioners
:13:33. > :13:36.will get lump sums under the new deal. They hope it'll be the end of
:13:37. > :13:38.their battle and the end of protests like today's.
:13:39. > :13:41.Councils are failing to do enough to improve cycling safety on London's
:13:42. > :13:44.roads, so says the the campaign group Stop Killing Cyclists which
:13:45. > :13:46.claims that only a handful of authorities are planning to install
:13:47. > :13:52.segregated routes in the near future. They're calling for further
:13:53. > :14:01.investment to reduce casualties, as Gareth Furby reports.
:14:02. > :14:04.Tonight there is a row brewing between the campaign group and
:14:05. > :14:10.councils. Yes. This started at lunchtime when the group appeared
:14:11. > :14:14.outside Westminster City Hall and they first of all unveiled a banner
:14:15. > :14:20.with 54 Red Cross is on that representing the 54 cyclists who
:14:21. > :14:24.have died since 2010. Then they produced even Billy McReddie results
:14:25. > :14:30.from a Freedom of Information Act requests which they say shows that
:14:31. > :14:34.24 London boroughs installed no cycle lanes since the last London
:14:35. > :14:38.elections and only three installed any cycle lanes since the last
:14:39. > :14:44.London elections. Pretty strong figures from them. What has been the
:14:45. > :14:49.response? London councils are not happy. They say the Freedom of
:14:50. > :14:53.information request has been misinterpreted. A statement he says,
:14:54. > :14:56.it is wrong to name Kensington and Chelsea as a borough that has no
:14:57. > :15:02.segregated cycle lanes. They have three. London councils have issued a
:15:03. > :15:06.statement saying, London local government is committed to making
:15:07. > :15:11.the capital's rose as safe as possible for everyone. They recently
:15:12. > :15:14.consulted on bringing in extra cycle safety measures applying to
:15:15. > :15:18.lorries. ?100 million has been awarded 27 boroughs to and harms
:15:19. > :15:29.cycling facilities. We know of course the debate over cycling
:15:30. > :15:32.safety is a big issue. When Terminal five opened six years ago it turned
:15:33. > :15:36.into a national embarrassment with chaos including lost luggage and
:15:37. > :15:39.delays. Heathrow bosses say they've learned lessons and will try to
:15:40. > :15:42.avoid the same problems when T2 opens in June. The airport is using
:15:43. > :15:45.volunteer passengers to test the terminal ahead of the big day. Our
:15:46. > :15:52.Transport Correspondent, Tom Edwards was there.
:15:53. > :16:04.Welcome to terminal two, being put through its paces by over 1000
:16:05. > :16:09.volunteers. You get a bit hitched on coming to the airport, it is like a
:16:10. > :16:17.drug addiction. Terminal two was horrible before. Any nicely designed
:16:18. > :16:25.space helps anyone's experience. It means waiting, departing and picking
:16:26. > :16:32.up baggage. Yet I like it, I think it is nice. I came here at 12:40am,
:16:33. > :16:35.there was no way of getting home, all the transport had finished. I'm
:16:36. > :16:40.interested in how they are going to handle this. There were some
:16:41. > :16:48.glitches. I assume there will be a feedback process. When you get the
:16:49. > :16:55.boarding cards, there is no audio alternative. The opening of the last
:16:56. > :17:02.terminal here was a disaster. Baggage was delayed and check`in was
:17:03. > :17:06.suspended. This time the opening will be much softer. One airline
:17:07. > :17:12.will be moved at a time over six`month. This terminal has cost
:17:13. > :17:18.?2.5 billion of private money and the aim is to take on European
:17:19. > :17:23.competitors but a third runway is still very much part of the plan.
:17:24. > :17:28.That decision is for the government. Short`term, opening
:17:29. > :17:33.terminal to will be a huge logistical challenge. Can you do it
:17:34. > :17:39.without any glitches? Nobody can do it without glitches. What we aim to
:17:40. > :17:42.do, as we did with the Olympics, is overcome the challenges without the
:17:43. > :17:47.passengers seeing. We cannot guarantee the first they will be
:17:48. > :17:53.perfect. The first real passengers will use the terminal in June.
:17:54. > :17:56.When Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea Football
:17:57. > :17:59.Club nearly 11 years ago it started a trend. It's now common`place for
:18:00. > :18:02.the super rich to buy teams and lavish cash on players in the hope
:18:03. > :18:05.of quick success and trophies. Tonight the Blues are in France for
:18:06. > :18:08.their Champions League quarter final first leg with Paris St Germain `
:18:09. > :18:19.the latest club to be transformed. Sara Orchard sent this report. With
:18:20. > :18:25.just over 2000 tickets for away fans, getting into tonight's match
:18:26. > :18:29.is proving popular Matic for Chelsea fans. I came down here on the off
:18:30. > :18:37.chance that tickets might be on sale. `` problematic. It is just a
:18:38. > :18:46.football game at the end of the day. It is indicative of the recent rise
:18:47. > :18:51.of Paris St Germain. The Blues evolution started when Roman
:18:52. > :18:55.Abramovich bought the club in 2003. The Paris St Germain story began
:18:56. > :19:02.three years ago when they were bought. Before the investment
:19:03. > :19:08.company spent a lot of money on it, Paris St Germain was a national
:19:09. > :19:16.brand for the French. The investment company changed everything. In the
:19:17. > :19:19.same way that Chelsea was chasing the Champions League season after
:19:20. > :19:35.season, Paris St Germain is doing the same. QSI is essentially run by
:19:36. > :19:40.the state of cat are `` Qatar. It is a major event for Qatar. Nobody knew
:19:41. > :19:45.where it was a few years ago, now we all know where it is. The Paris St
:19:46. > :19:54.Germain brand has been boosted by new players, including David
:19:55. > :20:01.Beckham's four`month loan spell. Players live here in Paris while the
:20:02. > :20:03.club picks up their tax bill. Chelsea are the trailblazers and
:20:04. > :20:08.they remain favourites for tonight's fixture. Roman Abramovich
:20:09. > :20:14.had to wait nine years for his first Champions League title but Paris St
:20:15. > :20:25.Germain might not need to be so patient.
:20:26. > :20:27.A children's author and illustrator who drew inspiration from her
:20:28. > :20:30.childhood in the Crawley countryside will find out this week if she's won
:20:31. > :20:33.a prestigious book award. Elys Dolan's first book "Weasels" has
:20:34. > :20:36.been nominated for the Waterstone's Children's Book Prize. And she's
:20:37. > :20:45.been back to her old school to read to pupils there, as Victoria Holland
:20:46. > :20:50.reports. Weasel one is ready to go, weasel too is on stand`by. A young
:20:51. > :20:57.illustrator, a trip back to school and captivated audience. Weasels
:20:58. > :21:05.intent on domination is an off the wall idea but it has got children
:21:06. > :21:10.interested. It is inspired by James Bond and the underground layers they
:21:11. > :21:16.have. Author and illustrator Elys Dolan came back to the place where
:21:17. > :21:21.it all began, the pre`prep school which was once an art block where
:21:22. > :21:25.teachers nurtured her talent. Susie Winters was my personal tutor who
:21:26. > :21:31.encouraged me to come down here to the art school and do things out of
:21:32. > :21:36.hours. Although this is her first book, she has been nominated for
:21:37. > :21:40.three awards. It seems it has captured the imagination of the
:21:41. > :21:48.judging panel as well as the children here today. She's good at
:21:49. > :21:56.reading stories and it is nice that it has pictures. My favourite bit
:21:57. > :22:03.was the pictures where the weasels were planning an attack. Ten out of
:22:04. > :22:06.ten. It is an amazing experience and really special when you think that
:22:07. > :22:10.this building was the art school. They have someone coming back who
:22:11. > :22:15.has been in this building as an artist, learning art and how to
:22:16. > :22:21.draw, and she is coming back and showing them what she can do. Elys
:22:22. > :22:27.Dolan's next book is out in April and she has been overwhelmed the
:22:28. > :22:31.response to Weasels. Winning the prize could start a whole new
:22:32. > :22:35.chapter for her. Good luck to her. Why are there so few women
:22:36. > :22:37.conducting orchestras? It's a question that courted controversy

:23:53. > :23:56.went for it. What has your experience been like? It has been

:24:20. > :24:23.We felt that change is not happening and that is why we have done the
:24:24. > :24:32.course. One of the issues I had was that I felt I wanted to be judged

:24:35. > :24:42.I think that is true for many conductors. It is a fact that

:25:09. > :25:13.levels today ` let's see what's happening Thank you. Pollution
:25:14. > :25:18.levels have been high across much of England, in particular the East. We
:25:19. > :25:25.have had a lot of fine and dry weather today, and the cloud has
:25:26. > :25:28.been and gone. We have got high pollution levels which is a
:25:29. > :25:34.combination of industrial pollution and the Sahara desert dust. It is
:25:35. > :25:37.moving across the East of England on the southeasterly wind. The
:25:38. > :25:41.pollution level will reduce as we head towards the end of the week and
:25:42. > :25:45.pick up winds from the Atlantic Ocean. This is the satellite picture
:25:46. > :25:51.from the course of the day and you can see a lot of cloud, but across
:25:52. > :25:54.the South East we have seen some fine and dry weather with
:25:55. > :26:03.temperatures of 20 Celsius. The night it stays mainly dry but then
:26:04. > :26:09.maybe clouds moving in, and you can see some of the rain bearing cloud
:26:10. > :26:13.kept at bay across Berkshire and the West Country. Look at those
:26:14. > :26:16.temperatures overnight. It is pretty mild with temperatures in double
:26:17. > :26:22.figures for most. Tomorrow morning, we start off on a dry note with some
:26:23. > :26:28.mist around. We should see a good deal of sunshine and the cloud will
:26:29. > :26:33.begin to build up but pretty decent temperatures for early April at 17

:27:13. > :27:16.have experienced abnormally high levels of air pollution caused by a
