:04:32. > :04:39.But critics say the expansion doesn't include enough
:04:40. > :04:52.More on this from Tim Donovan, who's in Shepherd's Bush.
:04:53. > :04:58.Westfield is at the centre of an area between Shepherd's Bush and
:04:59. > :05:03.White city, where everyone wants to see regeneration, more jobs and
:05:04. > :05:09.homes. It is an area where the mayor offers a dispensation. Whereas he
:05:10. > :05:14.hopes to see 40% affordable homes in developments across London, here, he
:05:15. > :05:21.says 15% would be OK. But Westfield came short even of that. Ever since
:05:22. > :05:26.their first place was opened by the air, they have transformed the
:05:27. > :05:31.shopping scene in London. Now, Westfield is expanding north at
:05:32. > :05:37.Shepherd's Bush. More shops and also new homes. Flats, but not the right
:05:38. > :05:41.kind, according to the local MP. I hope we can persuade or insist that
:05:42. > :05:44.Westfield go back and look at this. If they are going to be a good
:05:45. > :05:49.neighbour they ought to think about not just the people who shop there,
:05:50. > :05:53.but the people who live there. The mayor gave the final seal of
:05:54. > :06:00.approval to the extension. It will mean more than 1300 homes. Just over
:06:01. > :06:05.160 defined as an affordable, 12%, below even the already reduced
:06:06. > :06:10.target of 15% for the area. On paper, there should have been 200
:06:11. > :06:14.affordable homes. Westfield are going to build 40 fewer than that.
:06:15. > :06:17.They have also been allowed to get around another planning rule. The
:06:18. > :06:23.Mayor's London plan requires that of the affordable housing, 60% is meant
:06:24. > :06:28.to be for social or affordable rent, and the remaining 40% is
:06:29. > :06:32.intermediate, part by, part rent. Westfield have managed to flip that
:06:33. > :06:36.around, meaning they are being allowed to build fewer homes for
:06:37. > :06:44.subsidised rent. It should be at least 50%. There is not much
:06:45. > :06:52.affordable housing. 5% affordable rent. Disgusting. Not ideal, is it?
:06:53. > :06:54.It is not helping anyone, really. Westfield said it was the best they
:06:55. > :06:59.could do in the current economic climate. There had been an
:07:00. > :07:04.independent assessment of what was viable, they said. Although the
:07:05. > :07:09.mayor was unavailable, City Hall defended the deal. It depends on the
:07:10. > :07:14.cost. This is an extremely expensive site to build on and the main
:07:15. > :07:18.advantage is jobs. We weigh up jobs and housing in the balance when we
:07:19. > :07:22.make these decisions, but it is about the overall economic benefit
:07:23. > :07:26.to the city. Thousands of new jobs are promised here, with a new John
:07:27. > :07:31.Lewis store being the major attraction. But questions about big
:07:32. > :07:34.developments and big profits, and whether the mayor has `` secured a
:07:35. > :07:40.big enough quantity of affordable homes. Of course, the mayor has a
:07:41. > :07:44.strong relationship with Westfield, a close partnership during the
:07:45. > :07:47.Olympics when they opened their second successful store in
:07:48. > :07:51.some credit for attracting them to some credit for attracting them to
:07:52. > :07:57.open another store in future in Croydon, but it has not enabled him
:07:58. > :08:00.to get more housing here. The new Labour Administration who took
:08:01. > :08:04.control of the town Hall last week might look at this again, and they
:08:05. > :08:15.might see if there are any legal avenues to try and raise the amount
:08:16. > :08:19.of affordable homes here. Two people have been arrested on suspicion of

:10:44. > :10:49.not breathe, could not do it any more. I can never describe the pain.
:10:50. > :10:55.It is not something I have any words for. It is estimated 20,000 girls in

:14:34. > :14:38.three, building surveyor and the skipper of this project. Unwilling
:14:39. > :14:43.to wait ten years for a bigger house for his family, he decided to take
:14:44. > :14:47.matters into his own hands and build it himself, recruiting eight other
:14:48. > :14:54.families along the way. We convinced people to help build their own homes
:14:55. > :14:56.and turn it round and rent it. You actually have to find a particular
:14:57. > :15:03.sort of person, or group of families, who really want to get up
:15:04. > :15:06.and help themselves. And these are the local like`minded families who
:15:07. > :15:10.have signed up with him. The heavy lifting is being done by qualified
:15:11. > :15:14.builders but the families themselves will have to entirely fit, paint and
:15:15. > :15:24.decorate their own homes. We've learned all sorts. Tiling, flooring,
:15:25. > :15:26.plastering, painting. So, yeah, I tell my family these days not to
:15:27. > :15:32.call a builder because they've got one here! And nobody will be moving
:15:33. > :15:36.in before all the houses are finished. I feel it is very
:15:37. > :15:40.important because at the end of the day, we came together as a group and
:15:41. > :15:45.because we're going to be working on each other's houses, we want it to
:15:46. > :15:49.be just the same standard for all of us. Once they move in, the homes
:15:50. > :15:54.will be owned by the housing association, to which they will pay
:15:55. > :15:57.an affordable rent. They've shown a remarkable dedication and given up
:15:58. > :16:01.evenings and weekends and will continue doing that for the rest of
:16:02. > :16:05.the year. There are a lot of brown field sites in London and there is
:16:06. > :16:09.ideal opportunity for the likes of companies like ourselves to get
:16:10. > :16:14.involved so that we can eat away at the burden of housing in London. If
:16:15. > :16:18.all goes according to plan, the self builders hope to move in by the

:21:27. > :21:33.idea for me! I sent him off to see the coaches to see if he can get it
:21:34. > :21:36.through. Now to see if any of those great ideas can translate into
:21:37. > :21:40.premiership glory over Northampton tomorrow.
:21:41. > :21:42.And there's full commentary of Saracens against
:21:43. > :21:45.Northampton Saints on our radio station BBC London 94.9 tomorrow.
:21:46. > :22:05.20,000 tonnes of the Royal Navy's finest ship has sailed into
:22:06. > :22:08.Greenwich to give Londoners the chance to have a good nose around.
:22:09. > :22:11.HMS Bulwark has come to London ahead of a journey to Normandy next week,
:22:12. > :22:13.when it will take part in D`Day commemorations.
:22:14. > :22:18.Emma North has been on the ship all day.
:22:19. > :22:27.Let's hear from her now. There is very little that HMS
:22:28. > :22:31.Bulwark cannot do. She can send out boats, she can send out military
:22:32. > :22:35.vehicles, she can send out helicopters. But for the next three
:22:36. > :22:39.or four days, she is right here in London.
:22:40. > :22:43.There is no missing Greenwich Park back row latest guest and this is
:22:44. > :22:50.what Byrd and those on board got up to yesterday. Demonstrating their
:22:51. > :22:55.power in a suspect boat parade. By all accounts, the neighbours weren't
:22:56. > :23:00.too pleased. There were 328 people permanently stationed on board Byrd
:23:01. > :23:04.and if they need to, they can add a further 500 or 600 and read. In the
:23:05. > :23:10.case of a follow that duration, there is space for more than 2000
:23:11. > :23:15.people. This is, they say, what makes Byrd so special. The whole
:23:16. > :23:19.ship can be tilted more than 7 degrees. It floods the vehicle deck,
:23:20. > :23:23.turning it into a dock for landing craft. It's a strange feeling when
:23:24. > :23:26.you are effectively flooding your ship but we do it in a controlled
:23:27. > :23:32.manner and to see all the moving parts and how it is all orchestrated
:23:33. > :23:35.is quite moving to see. Bishop is in London to celebrate the anniversary
:23:36. > :23:41.of the Marines, who have worked in the smallest spaces. It gets very
:23:42. > :23:45.cramped but we all work hard to stay out of each other's way. Everyone is
:23:46. > :23:51.surprisingly polite, for Marines, anyway, and you get used to it. Do
:23:52. > :23:56.you get used to having so little personal space? You do eventually
:23:57. > :24:01.but it still wears you out a little bit. It gets annoying. Especially
:24:02. > :24:06.when 24 of you are trying to get ready for a night out. Everyone
:24:07. > :24:09.starts spraying their aftershave and Cologne at once and it forms of vile
:24:10. > :24:15.concoction in here. It's quite horrible really. Next Tuesday, HMS
:24:16. > :24:21.Bulwark will leave, first for Southsea and Ben Normandy, where she
:24:22. > :24:25.will lead a D`day 70th anniversary service. Until then, she will keep a
:24:26. > :24:30.close guard on Greenwich. All the tickets that were on sale
:24:31. > :24:33.for private civilian tours of HMS Bulwark have now sold out but the
:24:34. > :24:37.Royal Navy say you can come down anyway. There will be plenty to do
:24:38. > :24:42.and, with a ship of this size, plenty to see.
:24:43. > :24:46.I will definitely be taking a look this. Thanks very much.
:24:47. > :24:52.Let's take a look at the weather now.
:24:53. > :24:55.In the centre of London it was a bit on the cloudy side but that isn't
:24:56. > :24:59.the case in the whole of the region because there was some brighter
:25:00. > :25:04.weather to be found. The cloud was extensive first thing but it did
:25:05. > :25:08.move away from the east and the South but across central London, it
:25:09. > :25:13.did stay on the cloudy side. Cloudy but essentially a dry day with light
:25:14. > :25:17.winds and they stay light and we keep dry through the evening. Notice
:25:18. > :25:21.the clear skies across the eastern side. Temperatures are going to drop
:25:22. > :25:25.away through the small hours of the morning and maybe some transient
:25:26. > :25:28.mist and fog, which won't last too long. Temperatures will slip away
:25:29. > :25:32.into single figures, so quite chilly for some, but where you keep the
:25:33. > :25:36.cloud further west, temperatures hold up into double figures.
:25:37. > :25:39.Tomorrow looks like a reasonable start to the weekend with dry
:25:40. > :25:44.weather and reasonable bright spells. If you are poorly you should
:25:45. > :25:48.season sunshine but cloud amounts will increase as the day goes on.
:25:49. > :25:51.Still the clouds could break and there will be brighter weather
:25:52. > :25:57.creeping through. The winds are still light and it will be warmer
:25:58. > :26:01.than today. Easily up to 19 or 20 in the centre of town and I think it
:26:02. > :26:06.will feel quite pleasant despite the cloud coming and going. The London
:26:07. > :26:10.triathlon is taking place over the next couple of days and the Brownlie
:26:11. > :26:15.brothers will be out tomorrow. You can catch live action on BBC One.
:26:16. > :26:19.Plans for Saturday night? Well, the weather won't get in your way. It
:26:20. > :26:24.stays essentially dry. Maybe a shower to the north of London but in
:26:25. > :26:27.town, a reasonable evening. Into the second part of the weekend, weather
:26:28. > :26:33.fronts to the north`west of the UK won't bother us. We will see bright
:26:34. > :26:36.spells around but cloud amounts are likely to increase and there could
:26:37. > :26:41.be one or two microlight showers on Sunday afternoon. We've seen a lot
:26:42. > :26:46.worse as we can scope. Saturday looks like a decent day with sunny
:26:47. > :26:48.spells, 20 degrees. Maybe up to 21 on Sunday despite extra cloud. More
:26:49. > :26:53.unsettled over the next week. Before we go, a reminder
:26:54. > :26:56.of tonight's main news headlines: There's been a big rise in number of
:26:57. > :26:59.migrants reaching Europe illegally. Many taking treacherous sea routes
:27:00. > :27:01.from North Africa, risking their lives in makeshift boats, come in
:27:02. > :27:18.the hope of a better life. CAR HORN BLARES
:27:19. > :28:00.Whoa! HE GASPS
:28:01. > :28:06.Driving parents crazy. You have to tell the police
:28:07. > :28:23.whatever it is that you know.
