:00:00. > :00:00.about 7.20? That's it. We will be back with the

:00:00. > :00:12.late news at ten o'clock. Now it is time for the news where you are.

:00:13. > :00:16.Good evening and welcome to the programme.

:00:17. > :00:19.Hundreds of residents in South London have spent their bank holiday

:00:20. > :00:22.Monday without water after pipes burst last night. Two blocks of

:00:23. > :00:25.flats were affected, but there's been some dispute over who's

:00:26. > :00:29.responsible for the repairs as the premises were split over two

:00:30. > :00:39.different boroughs. Victoria Graham explains.

:00:40. > :00:44.The problem is simple, a burst water pipe meaning residents in these

:00:45. > :00:48.flats have no water. In fact, the supply was cut off at eight o'clock

:00:49. > :00:53.yesterday evening. The solution to that problem is a little more

:00:54. > :00:59.complex. For residents living here it has been an extremely frustrating

:01:00. > :01:04.day. Who do they call? Some residents pay their council tax to

:01:05. > :01:08.Wandsworth, others to Lambeth. Both councils are directing residents to

:01:09. > :01:11.Thames Water. Lambeth water said it was investigating to find out

:01:12. > :01:17.exactly who is responsible for the burst water main. Wandsworth Council

:01:18. > :01:21.apologised for any inconvenience and said they were working with Thames

:01:22. > :01:28.Water to fix the issue. Thames Water said the problem lies on privately

:01:29. > :01:31.owned pipe and not one owned by Thames Water but they will continue

:01:32. > :01:37.to support the council is as much as they can until the problem is fixed.

:01:38. > :01:43.In the forecast for a dry bank holiday Monday is not what some

:01:44. > :01:46.residents have envisaged. It has been frustrating but to be honest I

:01:47. > :01:51.did not have a great deal planned. It would be nice to have a shower

:01:52. > :01:56.and it feels like a lost day. Concierge told us there was a minor

:01:57. > :02:01.problem with the pipe yesterday. A plumber was called but the situation

:02:02. > :02:09.just got worse. When we arrived it was quite serious. A water main had

:02:10. > :02:12.burst which caused extensive flooding throughout that entire

:02:13. > :02:15.building. Crews from Lambeth worked extremely hard to isolate that water

:02:16. > :02:20.supply and thankfully, we have now stopped the flood water. We have

:02:21. > :02:24.also isolated the electrical supply. Just to assure that the residence

:02:25. > :02:29.above the commercial premises are safe. So no water and no

:02:30. > :02:32.electricity. Thames Water told us this evening that they are still

:02:33. > :02:45.working to resolve the problem with the help of both councils. .

:02:46. > :02:48.A man has appeared in court charged with murder after a young father was

:02:49. > :02:51.stabbed in Essex. 24`year`old Michael Haastrup from Southend was

:02:52. > :02:56.attacked at a flat in Braintree on Wednesday evening and died in

:02:57. > :02:58.hospital. A second man was also injured. This morning 24`year`old

:02:59. > :03:07.Luke Eva appeared before magistrates in Chelmsford and has been remanded

:03:08. > :03:13.in custody. Police are appealing for witnesses

:03:14. > :03:17.after a 24`year`old man was attacked on Saturday evening. Detectives have

:03:18. > :03:21.described the assault on Oxendon Street is particularly violent.

:03:22. > :03:24.The Home Office has said it will now allow a woman from Jamaica to come

:03:25. > :03:27.to London to donate her kidney to her seriously`ill brother. Oliver

:03:28. > :03:31.Cameron from Hackney needs the transplant,and his sister Keisha

:03:32. > :03:34.Rushton offered to become a donor. Initially the Home Office refused

:03:35. > :03:38.her a visa, saying she couldn't be trusted to return to Jamaica after

:03:39. > :03:45.the operation. Ms Rushton is now expected in London within days.

:03:46. > :03:48.A group of teenage girls from Islington have been playing in the

:03:49. > :03:52.2014 World Cup in Brazil for Team England. They were taking part in a

:03:53. > :03:55.tournament for street children in Rio which aims to bring young people

:03:56. > :04:02.together through their love of football. Emma North has followed

:04:03. > :04:06.their progress. It is as competitive and tough as

:04:07. > :04:13.the real tournament. And it is as much fun. This is the street child

:04:14. > :04:17.World Cup, held among the availables of Rio, it brings

:04:18. > :04:22.together people whose lives are chaotic but to love playing

:04:23. > :04:28.football. Among them, a group of teenage girls from Islington

:04:29. > :04:30.representing Team England. I am most excited about getting to see Brazil

:04:31. > :04:35.because it is one of the places I have wanted to go to and getting to

:04:36. > :04:40.learn about other people's cultures. Back home they are in care

:04:41. > :04:44.so they have had to squeeze in training whenever possible and

:04:45. > :04:50.sometimes it shows. When we first arrived, the girls were really like

:04:51. > :04:53.they could not believe the beautiful surroundings. The first thing they

:04:54. > :04:59.saw was a cockroach and they wanted to go back on the plane. We had just

:05:00. > :05:06.arrived that night! Our experience in the last two weeks or so has been

:05:07. > :05:12.intense. It is a really full programme of activities, conference,

:05:13. > :05:15.football and development which is really difficult for young people to

:05:16. > :05:21.take in. But I think what they will get out of it will be brilliant. The

:05:22. > :05:25.struggles of street children are universal but here there is a chance

:05:26. > :05:33.for every child to talk. Although we have not won a lot of Mac shows ``

:05:34. > :05:40.matches, we have become stronger as a team. When a team loses there are

:05:41. > :05:44.no hard feelings. At the end, we'll hug and shake each other's hands.

:05:45. > :05:48.The fact that some countries do not speak English, we can still

:05:49. > :05:55.communicate with them through football, dance and music. It is

:05:56. > :05:59.amazing. After a tough few matches, Team England made it through to the

:06:00. > :06:01.quarterfinals. No cup to lift but plenty more to take away.

:06:02. > :06:13.Now the weather with Darren Bett. Hello, today was the warmest it has

:06:14. > :06:18.been through all Easter but the heat has triggered some thundery showers.

:06:19. > :06:23.Almost anywhere could catch some rain this evening and overnight. It

:06:24. > :06:28.is likely to be heavy. There could be some hail and plunder in there as

:06:29. > :06:32.well. Difficult travelling conditions are expected. It will be

:06:33. > :06:35.mild as we start Tuesday. The tendency is to push the worst of the

:06:36. > :06:40.wet weather northwards. We may be left with one or two showers in the

:06:41. > :06:45.afternoon but increasing amounts of sunshine as well. It will feel

:06:46. > :06:50.pleasantly warm. Through the rest of the week we will maintain those

:06:51. > :06:53.sorts of temperatures, 17 or 18 degrees. There will be some sunshine

:06:54. > :06:57.but also some showers. I will be back with our late news

:06:58. > :06:59.just after quarter past ten tonight. Enjoy the rest of your evening.

:07:00. > :07:35.Goodbye. places, some thunderstorms developed

:07:36. > :07:41.this afternoon, initially to the west of London may have drifted

:07:42. > :07:49.west. Gloucestershire has been pounded by some intense downpours

:07:50. > :07:54.and reports of hailstone as well. We keep this zone of wet weather here

:07:55. > :07:59.through the night. Difficult driving conditions if you are underneath

:08:00. > :08:04.that and yet to make a journey home from the Easter weekend. Generally

:08:05. > :08:11.through the night, outbreaks of rain and turning misty and murky. Some

:08:12. > :08:17.clear spells in the north and west of Scotland. For most, no worries

:08:18. > :08:20.about a frost tonight. Tomorrow, more cloud around than today and a

:08:21. > :08:21.better chance of getting
