:00:00. > :00:00.cooler through the weekend, but the weather is looking pretty good for

:00:00. > :00:00.most of us. That is it from us, goodbye, time

:00:00. > :00:23.for the news where you are. officers dedicated to rooting out

:00:24. > :00:26.criminal offices where they are A campaign to stop photos of children

:00:27. > :00:32.being published without pardnts consent, launched by Paul Wdller's

:00:33. > :00:36.wife. I'm in Bethnal Green, one of the areas where firefighters strike

:00:37. > :00:39.is taking place across London, just as there is a warning that the

:00:40. > :00:45.number of fires actually gods up during the World Cup. And hoping for

:00:46. > :01:09.glory in Brazil, we profile the World Cup stars from London teams.

:01:10. > :01:11.control. Scotland Yard a decade ago.

:01:12. > :01:15.We obtained documents that showed how drug deals, armed robberies

:01:16. > :01:18.and even contract killings were carried out in the full knowledge

:01:19. > :01:21.of serving police officers. Today,

:01:22. > :01:27.the Met Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan`Howe and the Deputy M`yor for

:01:28. > :01:29.Policing presented a united front in their fight against corrtption.

:01:30. > :01:31.Here's our Home Affairs Correspondent, Guy Smith.

:01:32. > :01:33.The men responsible for heading up Scotland Yard.

:01:34. > :01:37.One politician, the other Britain's top cop.

:01:38. > :01:42.Today at a photo shoot to t`lk about successful police seizures

:01:43. > :01:45.of an insured vehicles. But also another opportunitx to

:01:46. > :01:49.explain to Londoners whether the Met is still corrupt.

:01:50. > :01:53.We can't be clear there is absolutely no corruption,

:01:54. > :01:56.but we have well over 100 officers dedicated to rooting out crhminal

:01:57. > :01:59.offices where they are. There are relatively few,

:02:00. > :02:03.but we do employ thousands of people and it's entirely possible

:02:04. > :02:07.people are acting improper. Last night, BBC London reve`led

:02:08. > :02:11.the scale of police corrupthon in North and East London a dec`de ago.

:02:12. > :02:16.We found that a secret Scotland Yard unit had identified 42 servhng

:02:17. > :02:19.officers as corrupt. 19 ex`officers and the same

:02:20. > :02:24.number of career criminals linked to eight major crime syndic`tes

:02:25. > :02:27.The report, produced in 2002, was a disturbing account of drug

:02:28. > :02:34.deals, armed robberies and contract killings, carried out in thd full

:02:35. > :02:37.knowledge of corrupt detecthves It told us

:02:38. > :02:42.about how important court c`ses failed, about police operathons

:02:43. > :02:44.and techniques being betraydd. And the fact none

:02:45. > :02:50.of the crime syndicates had been seriously disrupted then showed how

:02:51. > :02:53.effective the criminals werd. It still unclear ten years

:02:54. > :02:57.on how many individuals the Met has prosecuted.

:02:58. > :03:01.I asked the Met commissioner if he had got a grip on corruption.

:03:02. > :03:04.Of course there was a report in 2002 about corruption in thd Met.

:03:05. > :03:08.There was action taken then and we continue to take acthon now.

:03:09. > :03:11.It's vital we maintain the confidence of the public

:03:12. > :03:14.in the British police service of and in particular the Met.

:03:15. > :03:17.Do you feel confident in thd leaders of Scotland Yard now, that they are

:03:18. > :03:20.telling you the truth, that they have got a grip on corruption?

:03:21. > :03:23.I'm confident they take this issue incredibly seriously.

:03:24. > :03:29.You can see in the appointmdnt of a commissioner who is dedicated

:03:30. > :03:32.at looking at these historic cases, so we can prepare

:03:33. > :03:35.for the public enquiry that has been announced by the Home Secretary

:03:36. > :03:36.And that judge`led public enquiry will be into Stephen Lawrence's

:03:37. > :03:47.murder. A recent review of the inithal

:03:48. > :03:54.investigation into who killdd the teenager found reasonable grounds to

:03:55. > :04:01.suspect corruption. Coming tp later... The capital's first dental

:04:02. > :04:04.hospital in 40 years opens hts doors, training the next generation

:04:05. > :04:11.of dentists and transforming patients lives.

:04:12. > :04:14.Firefighters across London are taking part

:04:15. > :04:17.in a 24`hour strike over a row with the Government over pensions.

:04:18. > :04:19.The walk`out is the longest strike yet in the three`year dispute,

:04:20. > :04:23.and coincides with the start of the World Cup in Brazil.

:04:24. > :04:25.It comes as London Fire Brigade has called for people to order takeaways

:04:26. > :04:30.during the tournament to avoid cooking after drinking alcohol.

:04:31. > :04:40.Tarah Welsh is at Bethnal Green Fire Station with more on this.

:04:41. > :04:46.This dispute is ongoing. It's all about the Government wanting to

:04:47. > :04:52.raise the age that firefighters can retire, from 55 to 60 years old It

:04:53. > :04:56.also wants firefighters to pay more into their pensions, somethhng the

:04:57. > :05:00.Fire Brigades Union is heavhly against. We are seeing more strikes

:05:01. > :05:08.across London, more people on the picket lines and in Essex, 050

:05:09. > :05:11.firefighters marched through Eric Pickles' constituency today. They

:05:12. > :05:18.told him that he must support his firefighters. We are very close to a

:05:19. > :05:26.settlement, we've been closd for a while. I do recognise that there are

:05:27. > :05:30.some internal firefighters taking it inside the trade unions, I kind of

:05:31. > :05:34.respect that but we've got puite a good deal for firefighters, there is

:05:35. > :05:40.a good deal on the table and the moderate side of the union would be

:05:41. > :05:44.very willing to settle. We really do need to win this dispute. Wd do need

:05:45. > :05:47.to be in a position whereby the public don't have an ancient

:05:48. > :05:51.workforce that physically c`n't do the job. We do need to defend our

:05:52. > :05:54.members and their pensions, to ensure they are not sacked from the

:05:55. > :05:58.fire service because they are not fit enough as they reach 60 and

:05:59. > :06:04.living on the dole. That wotld not be appropriate for the publhc or our

:06:05. > :06:11.members. This strike goes on until 9am tomorrow morning but before

:06:12. > :06:14.then, in case you didn't know, the World Cup kicks off. The Fire

:06:15. > :06:19.Brigade today have warned pdople not to drink and then come in and cook.

:06:20. > :06:24.They say that has disastrous consequences. In fact, in 2010

:06:25. > :06:29.during the World Cup, 40% of kitchen fires were caused by food bding left

:06:30. > :06:35.unattended. They also say that one in four that die in fires of alcohol

:06:36. > :06:40.in their system. So what happens if there are fires tonight World Cup

:06:41. > :06:41.related or not? The Governmdnt says there is a contingency plan in

:06:42. > :06:46.place. Fire Station with more on this.

:06:47. > :06:50.The rock star Paul Weller and his wife have called for a change in the

:06:51. > :06:52.law to stop photos of children being published without parental consent.

:06:53. > :06:55.The singer was awarded ?10,000 on behalf of his children,

:06:56. > :06:56.after photos of them were ptblished in the Mail online.

:06:57. > :07:12.David Sillito reports. He's been a famous face when nearly

:07:13. > :07:15.40 years. Paul Weller is usdd to being photographed but his

:07:16. > :07:18.children... These aren't thd offending pictures, they've been

:07:19. > :07:24.taken down, but the incident has left its mark. When the photographs

:07:25. > :07:28.were published, later on we realised they'd been followed all afternoon

:07:29. > :07:34.and this person had been taking photographs covertly of our

:07:35. > :07:39.children. The fact that thex were published seemed so wrong to me it

:07:40. > :07:43.seems absolutely disgraceful. She emerged from court having won a

:07:44. > :07:48.legal battle, but they want more. They want the law changing. This has

:07:49. > :07:52.been a long court case and Hannah Weller says it has been strdssful

:07:53. > :07:56.and unpleasant. She doesn't feel anyone else should have to go

:07:57. > :07:59.through this. But the newsp`pers are going to resist the idea of making

:08:00. > :08:04.this a criminal matter. Espdcially given that many celebrities have at

:08:05. > :08:08.certain moments been more than happy to show off their offspring to the

:08:09. > :08:12.cameras. And there are other problems with getting legal

:08:13. > :08:17.permission. How do you take photographs of crowd scenes,

:08:18. > :08:21.football matches, how do yot ask permission? What about forehgn

:08:22. > :08:27.disasters, war, what about children there? Basically, if you do that you

:08:28. > :08:31.are breaking the new law. It's ridiculous. So while it was today a

:08:32. > :08:35.victory for the family's prhvacy, turning photos of children hnto a

:08:36. > :08:38.crime is going to meet some pretty determined resistance.

:08:39. > :08:42.The Deputy Prime Minister s`ys he doesn't agree with

:08:43. > :08:44.the Mayor's plan to buy watdr cannon for the Metropolitan Police.

:08:45. > :08:48.Nick Clegg questions whether they would have been effective dtring

:08:49. > :08:50.the riots in London three ydars ago and says their use "goes ag`inst

:08:51. > :09:00.the grain" of consensual policing. I don't think that big, expdnsive,

:09:01. > :09:04.second`hand water cannons from Germany is the answer to thd

:09:05. > :09:07.policing needs on the streets of London. Thinking back to thd riots

:09:08. > :09:10.three years ago, water cannon wouldn't have helped their because

:09:11. > :09:12.this was people throwing brhcks through shop windows and thdn

:09:13. > :09:16.scurrying round the corner. the grain" of consensual policing.

:09:17. > :09:19.A west London council says ht's been left with a bill of nearly ?20, 00

:09:20. > :09:22.after travellers dumped tonnes of rubbish in a public park.

:09:23. > :09:25.The group have now been evicted from Gunnersbury Park in Hotnslow

:09:26. > :09:27.and have moved to another green space in neighbouring Ealing.

:09:28. > :09:29.The council leader there saxs he fears the same will happen to

:09:30. > :09:34.their park. Nick Beake has the story.

:09:35. > :09:40.The parting gift from travellers who had made Gunnersbury Park their

:09:41. > :09:45.temporary home. All this is the legacy of just a three`day stay

:09:46. > :09:48.They were refitted last night. Catherine is one of many Brdntford

:09:49. > :09:53.residents who are angry and the willed it. I have a lot of sympathy

:09:54. > :09:56.for travellers who just wander from site to site and keep getting thrown

:09:57. > :10:00.out of places but looking around now, and looking around at what has

:10:01. > :10:04.happened and how it has been left, I'm not surprised people want to

:10:05. > :10:08.move them on as quick as thdy arise. It's just a complete lack of

:10:09. > :10:18.respect. It's not just what it looks like, it's what it smells lhke.

:10:19. > :10:20.Normally kids would be playhng on this area. Today they can't. The

:10:21. > :10:23.local council reckons the clear up and all the other costs is ?18, 00.

:10:24. > :10:27.Today we found the travellers a mile up the road in dealing will stop no

:10:28. > :10:33.one wanted to talk to the mddia It's a case of waiting now.

:10:34. > :10:36.Residents here want the council to move them off as soon as possible,

:10:37. > :10:43.but their leader says he fe`rs they will wreck this site too. It's clear

:10:44. > :10:46.that it's going to happen as night following day, unfortunatelx. That's

:10:47. > :10:51.why I am angry, because I know what's going to come. They `re

:10:52. > :10:57.effectively going around taking cash jobs for people to clear thdir

:10:58. > :11:02.rubbish and then just coming and dumping it in the park. It hs

:11:03. > :11:05.outrageous. Ealing hopes to pin the eviction notices on these c`ravans

:11:06. > :11:09.in the morning, telling the travellers to leave within 24 hours.

:11:10. > :11:11.But it fears that like down the road, this could get expenshve and

:11:12. > :11:15.messy. Nick Beake has the story.

:11:16. > :11:18.Tributes have been paid to a 56`year`old woman who was crushed

:11:19. > :11:20.by a falling tree branch in north east London.

:11:21. > :11:23.It happened as she waited at a bus stop with her two xoung

:11:24. > :11:26.grandchildren. The land is owned by Brent Council,

:11:27. > :11:29.and locals said today that repeated complaints about the state

:11:30. > :11:30.of the large trees appear to have gone unheeded.

:11:31. > :11:41.Marc Ashdown reports. The tributes have been growhng all

:11:42. > :11:45.day, as friends and family pay their respects to all woman descrhbed on

:11:46. > :11:49.one note as our hero. On Tudsday afternoon, a 20 foot branch fell

:11:50. > :11:53.from this tree onto a crowd as they waited for the bus. A man in his 70s

:11:54. > :11:57.was rushed to hospital, a woman who was sitting on the wall with her

:11:58. > :12:02.grandchildren died at the scene My kids play here all the time when

:12:03. > :12:09.we're waiting for the bus. Ht's quite scary. Does it worry xou out

:12:10. > :12:13.here now? I won't use that bus stop. The land is owned by Brent Council

:12:14. > :12:16.through a housing trust, thd tree one of thousands they maint`in

:12:17. > :12:20.across the borough. Brent told us a further inspection of the shte

:12:21. > :12:22.revealed more branch is needed to be removed. That has now happened,

:12:23. > :12:26.they've also launched an investigation. You might st`rt by

:12:27. > :12:29.talking to some of the neighbours who live in this block, who told us

:12:30. > :12:38.today they've been complainhng about tree maintenance for some thme. I've

:12:39. > :12:42.been telling them before to cut the trees. They said they will do that

:12:43. > :12:49.but they never did anything. I'm worried about my children. H've

:12:50. > :12:52.never seen myself anyone coling to do any checks of the trees. I think

:12:53. > :12:57.periodically they have people trimming them down, but that's maybe

:12:58. > :13:00.once a year or something like that. The council says its thoughts are

:13:01. > :13:05.with the families of both vhctims and understand the wider concerns

:13:06. > :13:09.raised. I would reassure residents we have a robust mechanism for

:13:10. > :13:12.checking all of our trees. This particular tree was checked to give

:13:13. > :13:17.a goal that point there was no work that needed to be done. We will in

:13:18. > :13:21.somebody to do and in `` independent review. With no comfort to those

:13:22. > :13:31.who've lost the cherries ` latch error is relative and friend. Still

:13:32. > :13:35.to come... The capital is awash with the famous yellow and green of

:13:36. > :13:38.Brazil tonight. We will also be hearing from some of the London

:13:39. > :13:44.based players who are going for glory. Restored back to its former

:13:45. > :13:50.glory, the London bus which saw action in World War I.

:13:51. > :13:53.Nearly half of five`year`old children in Tower Hamlets

:13:54. > :13:58.But now the worst affected borough in the capital has become home

:13:59. > :14:01.to the country's first new dental school in 40 years.

:14:02. > :14:03.It's expected to care for 70,000 patients each ye`r,

:14:04. > :14:17.as Karl Mercer reports. Open wide! The sound of 1000 nightmares, a

:14:18. > :14:23.sound played out in an area they called the fandom headroom.

:14:24. > :14:31.This is the first new dental Hospital opened in 40 years, but

:14:32. > :14:38.this place isn't just about teeth. The volume of the eye socket

:14:39. > :14:42.increases... Back in April, Marie smashed jaw and cheekbone in a horse

:14:43. > :14:47.riding accident. In less th`n two months, she's been put back

:14:48. > :14:53.together, physically, she s`ys, and mentally. I am a 27`year`old woman,

:14:54. > :14:57.looking good is important to me as it is to everyone, and the fact that

:14:58. > :15:01.they have been able to fix le in the space of a couple of weeks hs

:15:02. > :15:08.astonishing, and I'm healing really well, and mentally, if I hadn't had

:15:09. > :15:11.the support from the hospit`l and consultants, I don't think H would

:15:12. > :15:14.be feeling mentally as well as I am now. The same hi`tech appro`ch is

:15:15. > :15:19.helping Molly, who suffers from a rare inflammatory disease. Scans can

:15:20. > :15:24.pinpoint its effect on her. She was just going to senior skill BLEEP

:15:25. > :15:31.school, and she did not want to go because of the way she lookdd. To

:15:32. > :15:36.see her at 11 years old was heartbreaking. Everyone would look

:15:37. > :15:42.and wonder what it was. It was just like embarrassing. What happens in a

:15:43. > :15:47.dental Hospital and a dental school is far more than just fillings,

:15:48. > :15:52.extractions and dentures. It is rebuilding people's lives, puite

:15:53. > :15:55.often rebuilding faces and working together with different teals to

:15:56. > :16:04.make sure that we are integrated in the care that the patients get is

:16:05. > :16:07.the very best we can offer. The area some of the worst dental he`lth in

:16:08. > :16:11.the country. It is hoped thd new hospital will help solve th`t.

:16:12. > :16:14.So with the World Cup about to get under way in Brazil,

:16:15. > :16:16.Londoners are gearing up to cheer on their teams.

:16:17. > :16:19.Among them, around 60,000 Brazilians who live here in the capital

:16:20. > :16:20.and are feeling particularlx patriotic tonight.

:16:21. > :16:23.Some of them are at big party being held in Trafalgar Squ`re.

:16:24. > :16:31.Our sports reporter Chris Slegg is also there, tough job?

:16:32. > :16:38.Yes, it feels almost like the Copacabana here, we have got the

:16:39. > :16:42.weather, we have got a samb` school onstage, a mini football pitch,

:16:43. > :16:47.which looks better than the surface that England will be playing on in

:16:48. > :16:51.Manaus, by all accounts. More than 50 players from London will be

:16:52. > :16:55.playing at the World Cup, including Cesc Fabregas, who has completed his

:16:56. > :17:00.move to Chelsea. He is training with Spain at the moment. Arsenal turned

:17:01. > :17:04.down the first option to brhng him back from Barcelona, he has signed a

:17:05. > :17:08.five`year contract with Chelsea and it is believed they have pahd ? 0

:17:09. > :17:12.million to bring him back to the capital. We have seen many players

:17:13. > :17:15.shine on the international stage and then make their home in the capital,

:17:16. > :17:21.and Mark Bright can remind ts of some of them.

:17:22. > :17:24.Since the Premier League was established in 1992, some of the

:17:25. > :17:29.biggest names of world football have come here to play in the capital.

:17:30. > :17:35.Zola, Bergkamp, Klinsmann all played here, but what is it they love about

:17:36. > :17:40.London? It is a scene of opportunities, I like the spirit of

:17:41. > :17:45.work hard, play hard. Everyone wants to come to London, their falilies,

:17:46. > :17:51.their wife, children, London is a fantastic place to be. Sometimes, as

:17:52. > :17:55.a Londoner, we don't realisd how good it is. The only thing hs can

:17:56. > :18:01.you make the weather a little bit better? The World Cup will see 2

:18:02. > :18:06.players from Premier League and Championship teams in London travel

:18:07. > :18:11.to Brazil, from 18 different nations. Chelsea have 18 pl`yers at

:18:12. > :18:16.the tournament. We hope to win, we will see how it goes, we will fight

:18:17. > :18:22.for every match. It is the biggest honour, we are looking forw`rd to

:18:23. > :18:26.the challenge ahead. We arrhve with our quality, and I think we can do

:18:27. > :18:32.something special in the World Cup. Of the London 52, we still have four

:18:33. > :18:39.England representatives, Fr`nk Lampard, Gary Cahill... Garry Hay

:18:40. > :18:46.till `` Gary Cahill you cannot afford to lose. Along with @lex

:18:47. > :18:51.Oxlade`Chamberlain. He is one of the few, if you lost in, you cannot

:18:52. > :18:56.replace what he does. We all hope that he gets back fit. It is really

:18:57. > :19:01.a medical matter, they are hoping that by the second game he could be

:19:02. > :19:05.fit. As the excitement rises ahead of the kick`off, it doesn't matter

:19:06. > :19:10.if England are playing, every game will have a connection back in the

:19:11. > :19:14.capital. It is not just the players going for

:19:15. > :19:18.success, every four years the contest to be the best Engl`nd World

:19:19. > :19:25.Cup song, and one that is doing well is Rik Mayall's Noble England,

:19:26. > :19:37.rereleased after he passed `way and it sounds a bit like this.

:23:25. > :23:28.world's first mass`produced motor bus and could reach the heady speed

:23:29. > :23:33.of 16 mph. They were designdd to meet the challenge of London's

:23:34. > :23:37.roads, traffic and the demand of a growing population. This ond

:23:38. > :23:43.operated on Route nine to Lhverpool Street. But in 1914, this p`rticular

:23:44. > :23:46.bus, along with around 1000 others, embarked on a very different

:23:47. > :23:52.journey. From the home front to the Western front. The war department

:23:53. > :23:55.requisitioned the vehicles, and it was very common for the driver and

:23:56. > :24:01.the mechanics to go with thdir vehicles, so within a short period

:24:02. > :24:05.of time, from driving on thd streets of London around Piccadilly Circus

:24:06. > :24:10.and Trafalgar Square, they would be driving them to the docks, to board

:24:11. > :24:15.a ferry to take the buses across to France. With windows boarded up and

:24:16. > :24:19.painted khaki to describe their bright red livery, over 1000 London

:24:20. > :24:23.buses were deployed on the frontline, used to transport troops

:24:24. > :24:28.and served as ambulances. One of only four surviving London buses

:24:29. > :24:35.from the time, it was found as a shadow of its former self, being

:24:36. > :24:38.used as a garden shed. They grant from the Heritage Lottery Ftnd has

:24:39. > :24:42.not only helped in the restoration of this bus but will enable it to

:24:43. > :24:45.travel back in time to the battlefields of France as p`rt of

:24:46. > :24:50.commemorations marking the start of the First World War. It gets

:24:51. > :24:55.slightly sombre in September, because we are going to do ` very

:24:56. > :25:00.public transformation from the classic red London bus, route number

:25:01. > :25:04.nine on the Strand, to a bus in wartime conditions. Its most

:25:05. > :25:06.poignant journey yet, remembering those who made a ceremony s`crifices

:25:07. > :25:18.during the First World War. It has been a lovely sunny day,

:25:19. > :25:21.let's see how things are sh`ping up for the next few days with Peter

:25:22. > :25:25.Gibbs. Warmer today in London and ht will

:25:26. > :25:30.be in Sao Paulo for the opening game of the World Cup, would you believe?

:25:31. > :25:34.Plenty of sunshine today, the temperature in central London was

:25:35. > :25:37.the warmest place in the UK, 26 Celsius, just short of 80

:25:38. > :25:42.Fahrenheit. A lovely warm evening for all of us, a dry one, and then

:25:43. > :25:49.tomorrow another warm day, reaching 26 again, maybe even a degrde or so

:25:50. > :25:55.higher. Lovely evening to bd out and about, overnight it should stay dry,

:25:56. > :25:58.patchy cloud tending to melt away. In the towns and cities,

:25:59. > :26:03.temperatures holding up quite nicely, the mid`teens in pl`ces but

:26:04. > :26:09.in rural spots temperatures dipping into single figures briefly at the

:26:10. > :26:13.end of the night. Temperatures going up again during tomorrow, the winds

:26:14. > :26:17.stay light, more clouds devdloping through the afternoon, turnhng the

:26:18. > :26:23.sunshine week and hazy for ` time, but enough of it too, as I say, get

:26:24. > :26:29.up to 26 in the centre of town, possibly 27, widely into thd low or

:26:30. > :26:33.mid 20s as well. If you are out and about tomorrow evening, watch out

:26:34. > :26:37.for the odd shower popping tp, some on the heavy side through the late

:26:38. > :26:40.evening and overnight, posshbly a rumble of thunder. A differdnt feel

:26:41. > :26:45.to things for the weekend, the winds coming in off the North Sea, a

:26:46. > :26:48.notable breeze as well, that will knock the temperatures down to some

:26:49. > :26:53.extent, bringing more in thd way of cloud and some patchy outbrdaks of

:26:54. > :26:58.rain, so not a completely dry story or completely sunny on Saturday

:26:59. > :27:01.either. Temperatures coming down, 21 over the weekend, about average for

:27:02. > :27:05.the time of year, but feeling cool because of the north`westerly

:27:06. > :27:10.breeze. It couldn't last, btt still a reasonably usable weekend.

:27:11. > :27:12.Iraqi forces have launched air strikes on the city of Tikrit,

:27:13. > :27:14.the latest to be seized by Islamist militants

:27:15. > :27:23.President Obama says there hs a need for immediate short`term military

:27:24. > :27:27.action. The Bank of England is to gdt

:27:28. > :27:30.new powers to cap mortgages. The move is aimed at preventing

:27:31. > :27:33.banks from making risky loans. From me and the team here,

:27:34. > :27:38.though, whatever you're up to,

:27:39. > :27:41.have a lovely evening.
