:00:12. > :00:16.Good evening. The family of Mark Duggan has been granted the right to

:00:17. > :00:20.challenge the inquest verdict into his death. He was shot dead by

:00:21. > :00:26.police in Tottenham in 2011, which sparked the London riots. In

:00:27. > :00:30.January, a jury found he had been "lawfully killed". There is some

:00:31. > :00:32.flash photography in this rdport from our home affairs correspondent,

:00:33. > :00:35.Guy Smith. This was moments after the family

:00:36. > :00:38.heard the jury's decision that the Met Police firearms officer had

:00:39. > :00:41.acted lawfully, despite jurors at the inquest concluding that Mark

:00:42. > :00:50.Duggan did not have a gun when he was shot dead. We are left with a

:00:51. > :00:53.great injustice. Today, Mr Duggan's family won the right to challenge

:00:54. > :00:59.the verdict because of alleged errors the coroner made when

:01:00. > :01:03.directing the jury about thd law. A judge has ruled that there hs an

:01:04. > :01:13.arguable case. In a statement, the family say:

:01:14. > :01:20.It is something they have bden fighting for. We are not giving up.

:01:21. > :01:23.No justice, no peace! Mark Duggan's death in Tottenham in August 20 1

:01:24. > :01:29.first led to riots on London's streets and then to other chties.

:01:30. > :01:35.Police identified the 29`ye`r`old as a senior member of a violent gang,

:01:36. > :01:40.Tottenham Mandem. Armed offhcers surrounded the minicab he w`s

:01:41. > :01:43.travelling in and shot him. Two and a half years later, the majority of

:01:44. > :01:48.the jury believe Mr Duggan had thrown a gun on a grass verge,

:01:49. > :01:51.marked here in white. Many will remember the scenes outside court of

:01:52. > :01:53.a senior police officer being heckled as he tried to expl`in the

:01:54. > :02:16.Met's position. The killing of Mark Duggan was

:02:17. > :02:18.controversial. Now an appeal against the inquest's conclusion will go

:02:19. > :02:28.before some of the country's most senior judges. But it is not yet

:02:29. > :02:31.known when that will be. Three men have been arrested on

:02:32. > :02:35.suspicion of murder after the disappearance of a schoolbox 26

:02:36. > :02:42.years ago. 15`year`old Lee Boxell was last seen in south`west London

:02:43. > :02:46.in 1988. Detectives now belheve he may have been targeted by a

:02:47. > :02:49.paedophile ring. Behind this blue screen, thd hunt

:02:50. > :02:53.for clues about Lee Boxell's disappearance. Police used radar

:02:54. > :02:58.recruitment to find out if graves had been disturbed, but the

:02:59. > :03:01.teenager's body was never found That was two years ago in the

:03:02. > :03:05.graveyard of St Dunstan's Church in Cheam. Detectives discovered that he

:03:06. > :03:08.used to attend an unofficial youth club there known as The Shed, and

:03:09. > :03:18.they believe he might have been killed after witnessing child abuse.

:03:19. > :03:20.Police in London say they are now extremely concerned for the safety

:03:21. > :03:26.of a 15`year`old schoolboy, Lee Boxell. He went missing in September

:03:27. > :03:29.1988. BBC Crimewatch reconstructed his last known movements on Sutton

:03:30. > :03:32.high street, and when we interviewed his parents, they said they would

:03:33. > :03:39.not move house, just in casd Lee came home. We have always hoped that

:03:40. > :03:45.Lee is safe and well and alhve, but as the years have gone by, that hope

:03:46. > :03:48.has dimmed. This morning, three men were arrested on suspicion of murder

:03:49. > :03:53.and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. A woman in her forties

:03:54. > :04:01.was also taken into custody. They are being questioned at a police

:04:02. > :04:04.station in central London. Drivers are to be refunded hundreds

:04:05. > :04:08.of thousands of pounds by a London council after parking tickets were

:04:09. > :04:13.illegally issued by cameras. Newham gave out tickets to nearly 4000

:04:14. > :04:16.people dating back to 2009. Campaigners believe there are number

:04:17. > :04:24.of similar cameras used by the borough, which could see further

:04:25. > :04:28.refunds of up to ?10 million. They have issued thousands of fines

:04:29. > :04:33.and now Newham Council is to pay out thousands of pounds. This is a

:04:34. > :04:38.victory for local businesses. One of those who will now receive ` refund

:04:39. > :04:41.is this man. He has the letter to prove it. With so many deliveries,

:04:42. > :04:46.his carpet business pays out around ?120 a week in parking fines. He is

:04:47. > :04:52.asking for refunds on hundrdds of penalty notices. It is a stdalth

:04:53. > :04:59.tax. They use every means possible to squeeze the life out of the local

:05:00. > :05:04.businesses. The law is the law, and if they break the law, how can they

:05:05. > :05:07.expect us to keep the law? The reason why Newham Council h`s fallen

:05:08. > :05:10.foul of the rules is simple. Every camera has to be certified by the

:05:11. > :05:14.vehicle certification agencx to ensure that the quality is good

:05:15. > :05:17.enough to be used in court. During an internal audit, the council

:05:18. > :05:22.discovered a dozen of their cameras were not. As a result, nearly 5 00

:05:23. > :05:27.people have been issued with parking tickets from these 12 camer`s since

:05:28. > :05:30.2009. Unpaid tickets have already been cancelled and today thd council

:05:31. > :05:38.confirmed that ?347,000 worth of paid fines will now be refunded The

:05:39. > :05:42.council had refused to pay back the money, but today's U`turn is in part

:05:43. > :05:45.thanks to this man. A familhar masked figure in the area, his

:05:46. > :05:50.activist group has been fighting the council all the way. We havd now got

:05:51. > :05:59.another internal investigathon going on as to another 66 cameras which we

:06:00. > :06:02.dispute have proper certification. They might have been used in the

:06:03. > :06:08.wrong way, and we could be looking at a further ?10 million. Ndwham

:06:09. > :06:12.Council declined to be interviewed today, confirming instead that their

:06:13. > :06:17.cameras are now all approved of The government is now looking at banning

:06:18. > :06:21.parking CCTV altogether. As for those of us wanting a refund from

:06:22. > :06:28.the parking cameras that pax out? Well, we have six weeks to `pply.

:06:29. > :06:39.That's it from me. I will h`nd you over to Wendy for the weathdr. It

:06:40. > :06:43.has certainly brightened up. It was a lovely day today. And we have some

:06:44. > :06:48.straightforward conditions over the next few days. High`pressurd means

:06:49. > :06:51.it will be mostly dry and fhnd. The beautiful blue skies we havd had to

:06:52. > :06:55.date have translated to cle`r ones as we go through the night. There

:06:56. > :07:01.has been a breeze blowing, but that has now started to ease off. Places

:07:02. > :07:06.like Berkshire and Surrey m`y get a few mist and fog patches, even a

:07:07. > :07:11.touch of frost in prone spots as temperatures fall. It will feel

:07:12. > :07:15.similar to this morning, quhte any kissed up to the day. There will be

:07:16. > :07:22.some sunshine, the wind will not be as strong `` quite a nippy start to

:07:23. > :07:25.the day. Towards the end of the afternoon, we could have a light

:07:26. > :07:30.shower, but but mostly it whll be dry. Maybe a bit of light r`in on

:07:31. > :07:34.Friday. A quiet dry. Maybe a bit of light rain on

:07:35. > :07:39.Friday. A quiet spell for us. Not so on the other side of the world. As

:07:40. > :07:43.you have been hearing, there is not a great deal happening in the

:07:44. > :07:47.weather over the UK over the next couple of days.

:07:48. > :07:50.Meanwhile, we have been attacked thing -- tracking an active spring

:07:51. > :07:56.storm in the US. There have been reports of flash flooding and

:07:57. > :08:02.tornadoes. You can see a narrowband which is weakening and heading out

:08:03. > :08:04.to the Atlantic. It is the Atlantic tonight that will pick
