:01:06. > :01:08.Boris Johnson and the Chancdllor today promised to build 50,000 new

:01:19. > :01:20.But Labour has criticised the Mayor, saying after six years

:01:28. > :01:36.So, new money, new powers, same old problem.
:01:37. > :01:43.Yes. Why Primrose Hill, you might ask, because it does not sotnd like
:01:44. > :01:49.the place to talk about the housing crisis. But many years ago ` certain
:01:50. > :01:53.man called Lord Southampton decided to cash in his chips on this land
:01:54. > :01:57.and to sell it and build a new suburb. That was to cope with
:01:58. > :02:02.growing housing demand in London. This is not a new problem. Today, in

:02:34. > :02:36.Chancellor is promising ?200 million to set up housing zones across the
:02:37. > :02:42.capital, freeing up planning rules and promising to clean up
:02:43. > :02:45.contaminated land to attract developers. We need more holes built
:02:46. > :02:51.on sites like this which have been derelict for too long. I am giving
:02:52. > :02:54.the mayor powers to speed up the planning, but also money so that we

:02:58. > :03:02.jobs that make for a thriving jobs that make for a thriving

:03:06. > :03:09.public money, handing them cleaned public money, handing them cleaned
:03:10. > :03:14.plots with good transport lhnks There are tonnes of sites across
:03:15. > :03:18.London that look very like this that have not made it. Just becatse they
:03:19. > :03:25.don't have the transport links, or there is some problem with poisoning
:03:26. > :03:31.of the land. If you can address those with a bit of taxpayer money,
:03:32. > :03:35.otherwise they are never gohng to otherwise they are never gohng to
:03:36. > :03:41.happen. These are the plans. Fantastic. Out of this clay, dreams
:03:42. > :03:47.will be made. The mayor is promising 50,000 homes on brown field sites in
:03:48. > :03:50.London in the next ten years, but they will not start hearing infield
:03:51. > :03:51.one thing. Following through is one thing. Following through
:03:52. > :03:52.harder. We need to make surd the harder. We need to make surd
:03:53. > :03:52.homes are affordable to Londoners on homes are affordable to Londoners on
:03:53. > :03:57.low and middle incomes. Borhs Johnson has had six years to get a
:03:58. > :04:00.grip on the housing crisis. He has failed to do so. London is only
:04:01. > :04:03.building at the moment one third of the homes every year that the
:04:04. > :04:08.mayor's own estimates say that we need. The expectations will be high
:04:09. > :04:11.from local council leaders `nd from Londoners needing homes. Pldnty to
:04:12. > :04:16.ponder as they made their w`y off`site. What will the new housing
:04:17. > :04:19.zones mean for Londoners trx to get their feet on the housing l`dder?
:04:20. > :04:23.And what are the challenges for those seeking to redevelop
:04:24. > :04:30.Brownfield sites. Helen has been to Poplar to find out.
:04:31. > :04:33.Walking past Brownfield sitds is an everyday occurrence in London. This
:04:34. > :04:36.site in Poplar, Tower Hamlets, is one of hundreds in the capital, and
:04:37. > :04:44.turning them into housing is popular here. There is not enough housing to
:04:45. > :04:46.go around. I have had friends on the Isle of dogs four`year is, living
:04:47. > :04:52.there with their parents, who could not get housing. With the children,
:04:53. > :04:55.I would like to have a garddn, but it is probably not going to happen.
:04:56. > :05:01.We need houses with gardens so we We need houses with gardens so we
:05:02. > :05:04.can play. Of the new houses, some of them will have to be afford`ble
:05:05. > :05:09.which will not only help people onto the property ladder, but cotld help
:05:10. > :05:15.reduce council house waiting lists. There is a real need for th`t in
:05:16. > :05:19.Tower Hamlets. There are ovdr 2 ,000 households on the council w`iting
:05:20. > :05:23.list in the borough, whereas ten years ago there were only around
:05:24. > :05:28.10,000, making it the second longest waiting list in London. Overcrowding
:05:29. > :05:34.is a major issue. More overcrowding than Birmingham. We have very high
:05:35. > :05:39.density, which means future demand is growing all the time, thdre is
:05:40. > :05:42.massive housing need. So thd announcement is going down well but
:05:43. > :05:47.how easy is it to get the shte is ready for development? Urban
:05:48. > :05:51.regeneration is implicitly difficult. Certain areas of enabling
:05:52. > :05:56.a site to be ready for development are inherently expensive. Those
:05:57. > :06:01.areas of expense range from demolition of existing buildings,
:06:02. > :06:06.through to varying degrees of decontamination that is reqtired on
:06:07. > :06:14.the ground. The idea is certainly popular in Poplar, but will the
:06:15. > :06:19.funding go far enough? Clearly some optimism, but lots of
:06:20. > :06:22.challengers. Yes, we have bden told for ages that London is not building
:06:23. > :06:27.enough houses, and that Brownfield sites will be our saviour. The first
:06:28. > :06:31.problem remains true. London is building about half the houses that
:06:32. > :06:36.it should do. Perhaps today there is a glint of hope we could be solving
:06:37. > :06:40.the Brownfield site solution. None of the opponents of the mayor have
:06:41. > :06:42.really criticised it, except raising concerns over the level of
:06:43. > :06:48.affordable housing included in these developments, and raising qtestions
:06:49. > :06:52.over the timetable. The mayor is promising 50,000 homes over ten
:06:53. > :06:57.years. And a warning from the London Chamber of Commerce. They s`y the
:06:58. > :07:02.new plans are not the silver bullet. They say the real solution,
:07:03. > :07:05.the only solution is for London to build at least double the alount of
:07:06. > :07:09.houses it is building at thd moment. That has been the problem for a long
:07:10. > :07:24.time and we know the solution is not easy. Lots more to come. As England
:07:25. > :07:27.get ready for their first m`tch against Italy tomorrow night, I have
:07:28. > :07:29.come to find out about Roy Hodgson's first coaching job as a PE

:07:45. > :07:47.after a gang of armed men who'd raided his warehouse in Barking
:07:48. > :07:54.and threatened his wife. Warren Nettleford reports.
:07:55. > :07:59.The man running from right`to`left is Shammi Atwal, who has just
:08:00. > :08:04.witnessed six men who robbed his warehouse. The judge described this
:08:05. > :08:08.as an act of courage, but it ultimately cost him his lifd. As the
:08:09. > :08:13.men escaped, he and other mdmbers of staff chased them all the w`y to the
:08:14. > :08:17.gate. They then got into an altercation. They tried to get his
:08:18. > :08:22.wife's handbag back, but ond of them pushed him into the path of an
:08:23. > :08:27.oncoming lorry. He was God`fearing, a religious person, went to the
:08:28. > :08:33.temple twice every day. He was happy, always had a smile on his

:08:38. > :08:42.loved and will be sorely missed These men, five of whom are from
:08:43. > :08:47.Latvia, were today criticisdd by the judge for refusing to reveal which
:08:48. > :08:51.one pushed him. For that re`son all six were convicted of mansl`ughter
:08:52. > :09:00.and conspiracy to rob. They managed to steal just ?1000, money `nd his

:10:31. > :10:33.officially opened by the Ch`ncellor. It is two miles long and will
:10:34. > :10:40.improve connections between south`east London and the chty. This
:10:41. > :10:44.is a fantastic engineering feat that has been achieved. What you see

:10:48. > :10:57.taking this tunnel under thd river, on time, high`quality tunnel, in the

:11:02. > :11:05.making their way under the capital. Eventually, in four years, trains
:11:06. > :11:13.will run through here, betwden East and West. Transport bosses hope that
:11:14. > :11:18.the government will continud to invest in more large infrastructure
:11:19. > :11:24.projects is. And as Crossrahl nears completion, lobbying is turning to
:11:25. > :11:25.other projects for the capital, like the North `South rail link,

:11:37. > :11:38.whose homes and livelihoods were destroyed, the repair work
:11:39. > :11:41.continues. The government h`s pledged more than ?20 million to
:11:42. > :11:44.help flood hit communities hn London and the Home Counties. And that s on

:11:57. > :12:03.Everything damaged has been thrown out, and inside, work is ne`rly
:12:04. > :12:10.complete on a building modification which should, if it works, keep the
:12:11. > :12:14.water out the next time the Thames floods. Once this is dry, it stops
:12:15. > :12:21.any water penetration coming from outside. The idea is by coating
:12:22. > :12:25.every floor and the lower sdction of every wall with a waterproofing
:12:26. > :12:33.substance, the house will rdpel all rough water. Even the sewagd system
:12:34. > :12:38.is being modified. When it hs not a flood situation, this opens to allow
:12:39. > :12:41.the rubbish out. In a flood situation, this shuts off and does
:12:42. > :12:46.not allow anything back up the drains and into your home.
:12:47. > :12:51.Elsewhere, another way of coping with the flood. This activity centre
:12:52. > :12:57.faced possible closure becatse damage was not covered by insurance.
:12:58. > :13:02.But now it is back to normal, thanks to donations from a local btilding
:13:03. > :13:08.supplier and work by hundreds of volunteers. The only way to tell is
:13:09. > :13:12.by looking at the walls. It is multicoloured because the volunteers
:13:13. > :13:16.decided to come down and help out. If you look closely into thd
:13:17. > :13:21.corners, it is not the neatdst. So it hides the fact that it is not a
:13:22. > :13:24.professional job. The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead h`s been
:13:25. > :13:30.given over ?2 million in government funding to pay for repairs. Some of
:13:31. > :13:35.it will be spent here. We are going to spend the money on roads that are
:13:36. > :13:41.damaged, pavements, and also a risk `` river path in Marlow. Also, we
:13:42. > :13:47.are giving grants to privatd roads up to 50% if they were severely
:13:48. > :13:50.damaged by floods. The recovery continues and flood barriers will

:15:15. > :15:21.I have very fond memories of the place. I shall never shy aw`y from
:15:22. > :15:25.admitting that was my birthplace. As a schoolboy, he was obsessed with

:15:59. > :16:10.friends. Boy likes his red wine and his Motown. He took up a job as a PE
:16:11. > :16:15.teacher. It is not just the school that is bad, the local commtnity is
:16:16. > :16:20.bad he lived locally that hd was also a student locally. He did spend

:16:26. > :16:31.at the school. Would you like to be England manager one day? It is the
:16:32. > :16:35.big job in English football. I am a passionate English supporter. I am
