:02:57. > :03:04.indications which will suggest the match will end in a comprehensive

:03:51. > :03:57.game 2`0. How much did they offer you? I think it was 10,000. The
:03:58. > :04:03.first thing I did was to get them escorted off. The match monitoring
:04:04. > :04:06.system has issued a red alert. At this stage of the match, you can see
:04:07. > :04:15.the odds on offer from the bookmaker. It is far below our
:04:16. > :04:19.calculated odds. Your system was pointed at a lot of money for the
:04:20. > :04:26.home team to win by three or four goals. With a few minutes left, what
:04:27. > :04:31.is happening? It is currently 4`1 to the home team. All of the pre`match
:04:32. > :04:35.betting much of the regular live betting, which suggested a very wide
:04:36. > :04:44.margin defeat for the away team, has been successful. How often do you
:04:45. > :04:53.see something like this? It varies due to the footballing schedule. It
:04:54. > :04:59.is not an unusual scenario. At this stage of the season, there is clear
:05:00. > :05:06.evidence of a lot of corruption to happen. The match between fixes and

:06:17. > :06:21.Neither could swim. Another guest saw them struggling but thought it
:06:22. > :06:27.was a prank. Both of them drowned. An inquest jury recorded verdicts of

:06:32. > :06:37.the design of the hotel summing pool, which had sloping sides and
:06:38. > :06:40.essential deep area. She said she would registered those concerned
:06:41. > :06:48.with the chartered Institute of environmental health. There was
:06:49. > :06:53.evidence that the pool sloped to steeply, CCTV was inadequate and
:06:54. > :06:57.there was not a lifeguard. It would have been avoided if there were a
:06:58. > :07:04.lifeguard. If there was somebody monitoring the pool, they would
:07:05. > :07:13.definitely have gone to rescue them. The hotel pool has closed. There are

:08:05. > :08:07.claims that dredging the Thames would have reduced flooding. But the
:08:08. > :08:14.Environment Agency claims money is being better spent on new flood
:08:15. > :08:19.prevention schemes. We are on the River Thames near Chertsey, looking
:08:20. > :08:24.for new sandbanks. It does not take long to find one. We are coming up
:08:25. > :08:30.to the first one. It is actually a beach. The man at the wheel is
:08:31. > :08:39.called Johnny. He has worked on the river all his life. It does shoulder
:08:40. > :08:45.here that never as bad as this. This is the most amazing sight I have
:08:46. > :08:52.seen in this particular area. In another location in the middle of
:08:53. > :08:57.the river, we almost run aground. Halfway up the stick, it is about
:08:58. > :09:03.them. If you hold that against me, it is and a meter. The reason he is
:09:04. > :09:08.showing us this is because he does not believe the environment agency
:09:09. > :09:11.'s claim that the Thames is self carrying. We are learning that you
:09:12. > :09:19.do not believe everything you hear from the environment agency. Bob
:09:20. > :09:27.Tubby is a former union official who worked on the Thames dredgers. He
:09:28. > :09:33.has kept a document. 11th of January 1993. It is the River Thames
:09:34. > :09:40.dredging strategic review. It talks about how much discharge of the
:09:41. > :09:48.river could increase. Teddington, 20%. Chertsey, 14%. Old Windsor,
:09:49. > :09:52.10%. It was telling us that dredging the main river will increase the
:09:53. > :09:57.rate of flow. We showed this document to some flood victims in
:09:58. > :10:04.race three and they are not happy. `` raise three. They believe if the
:10:05. > :10:11.Thames had been dredged, it could have made all the difference. I am
:10:12. > :10:16.horrified. For ten to 20 years the environment agency claimed that
:10:17. > :10:25.dredging was not beneficial. I would not have flooded, basically. This
:10:26. > :10:30.boat builder, Carl Douglas, was also flooded. He has made a model to show
:10:31. > :10:35.how a river that is smooth and flow better than one that is not. You can
:10:36. > :10:40.see there has been a change in level. If the river was running
:10:41. > :10:44.nearly full, you would get flooding over the bank. Adding sediment, you
:10:45. > :10:50.raise the base and you raise the surface to carry the flow. The
:10:51. > :10:54.environment agency says it was dredging to remove this sandbanks.
:10:55. > :11:02.Dredging to stop floods was not value for money. Levels would have
:11:03. > :11:04.been reduced fractionally, absolutely fractionally. It would
:11:05. > :11:09.probably have been millimetres, if that. It is unlikely to be more than
:11:10. > :11:16.that. You cannot dredge beyond the depth of the next winner. Where
:11:17. > :11:19.dredging does bring benefits, it may not do so in every case, like with
:11:20. > :11:28.fraud prevention, I believe it should be for local peace `` flood
:11:29. > :11:38.prevention, I believe it should be for local people. Some flood victims
:11:39. > :11:41.still disagree. A 15`year`old boy has been charged with murdering a
:11:42. > :11:43.teenager in a west London Park. 18`year`old Jamil Palmer from

:11:57. > :12:01.authority will be hoping its success in repeatedly cutting council tax
:12:02. > :12:04.will help win over Londoners. The borough used to be a Labour
:12:05. > :12:08.heartland but it's thought rising house prices have strengthened the
:12:09. > :12:10.Tory vote. So, what will it take for Labour to regain control? Sonja
:12:11. > :12:22.Jessup reports. This is a barrow that David Cameron
:12:23. > :12:25.is proud of. He has called it a model of compassionate
:12:26. > :12:30.conservatism. House prices are rising in council tax is falling. It
:12:31. > :12:34.is home to some of the most deprived areas in the country. The
:12:35. > :12:39.Conservatives have been running Hammersmith and Fulham since 2006.
:12:40. > :12:43.Before that, this was a labour, traditionally working`class borough.
:12:44. > :12:47.To regain control, Labour would need to win nine seats. This area has
:12:48. > :12:57.seen huge change in different types of people moving in. Will you be
:12:58. > :12:59.able to do it? While Labour still holds the north of the borough, the
:13:00. > :13:03.Tories have strengthened their grip on the south. People who would in
:13:04. > :13:07.the past have lived in Chelsea and Kensington can no longer afford to
:13:08. > :13:12.do that. Second, I think a lot of affluent people from France and
:13:13. > :13:19.Italy come to London. They see Hammersmith and Fulham is pretty
:13:20. > :13:25.attractive. Palace riverside is also pretty attractive. I am very happy
:13:26. > :13:31.living here. For kids, the facilities, the area is nice and
:13:32. > :13:38.clean. It feels pretty safe and we have never had any problems.
:13:39. > :13:43.Everything seems to work well. It is very efficient. The Tories promised
:13:44. > :13:49.they will cut council tax even further and keep crime low. Not
:13:50. > :13:53.everyone is convinced. This is the Labour held award of wormhole and
:13:54. > :14:00.White city, for some house prices is not a good thing. We have lost
:14:01. > :14:05.friends and family. No one can afford the prices. This is not for
:14:06. > :14:11.any of us. You are finding the borough is not community any more.
:14:12. > :14:16.Everybody have to move out. They are not thinking about people and their
:14:17. > :14:21.families. Labour is promising to provide more affordable homes, cut
:14:22. > :14:26.council tax and defended Charing Cross Hospital. Its AMD is being
:14:27. > :14:35.downgraded. The Tories say they have saved it from closure but Labour say
:14:36. > :14:40.they should be doing more to protect services. There are protests every
:14:41. > :14:45.time there is a council meeting. The chamber gets rowdy. Will the Tories
:14:46. > :14:52.continue to strengthen their control or can Labour convince them to give
:14:53. > :14:55.them another chance? And you can find a full list of people standing
:14:56. > :14:58.in Hammersmith and Fulham on the council's website. Just go to the
