: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

:02:58. > :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

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

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

: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

:09:17. > :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

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

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

: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

:27:28. > :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.
