:00:27. > :00:29.find the drug dealer they believe sold the drugs that killed him.
:00:30. > :00:31.But there's criticism that officers knew the rave was being planned

:01:29. > :01:33.to be an international. He was one of around 1300 who dissented on this
:01:34. > :01:36.and used Royal Mail building by Croydon station. Residents filmed
:01:37. > :01:42.the noise from the sound systems inside. At one point, those fire

:01:54. > :01:55.readily available. This 16`xear`old didn't want to appear on camera, his
:01:56. > :02:00.didn't want to appear on calera his parents didn't know he went to the
:02:01. > :02:05.rave, nor do many others, as he says these are events designed for and

:02:12. > :02:17.rob people or start a fight or causing havoc inside the rave. It's
:02:18. > :02:20.obvious people are either drug or on drugs. It has emerged the police
:02:21. > :02:25.received a tip`off that this building be used for this so called
:02:26. > :02:27.squat party two weeks ago. The first questions were being asked `bout
:02:28. > :02:31.questions were being asked about police tactics. Today they grew into
:02:32. > :02:34.a crescendo, with the local MP leading the charge. For manx

:02:39. > :02:42.reminders of the rioting. There was a large crowd gathering and not
:02:43. > :02:44.enough police officers present. The building could have been better
:02:45. > :02:56.secure than they could have had enough officers there at the

:02:57. > :02:59.enough officers there at the start to make sure the event didn't go
:03:00. > :03:00.ahead. Things would be very different than they are tod`y. The
:03:01. > :03:02.different than they are today. The Met has launched an inquiry into why
:03:03. > :03:05.that intelligence wasn't acted upon but also defended their tactics on
:03:06. > :03:06.the night. We could either close the place down, potentially havd 20 0
:03:07. > :03:08.place down, potentially have 2000 people roaming the streets of
:03:09. > :03:11.Croydon, or we could contain them in a venue that they'd chosen to go to
:03:12. > :03:12.where we would keep them safe, a disused building, where thex could
:03:13. > :03:14.disused building, where they could make minimal damage. That w`s a
:03:15. > :03:19.make minimal damage. That was a decision we have to make, I think it
:03:20. > :03:27.was the right decision. Anolalous, one boy has died. Rio Andrew's death
:03:28. > :03:30.is a reminder of these events. A man from Watford who faked his own death
:03:31. > :03:31.so his wife could play more than ?1 million in insurance money has been

:03:45. > :03:48.two days after she claimed he had died, and insurers could find no
:03:49. > :03:51.record of him being treated or admitted to hospital. There was
:03:52. > :03:54.official confirmation today of the extent of London's property boom.
:03:55. > :03:57.The office of National stathstics The office of National statistics
:03:58. > :04:01.said house prices rose in early 20% in the past 12 months. For families
:04:02. > :04:04.looking to move out of the capital in search of more space but a longer
:04:05. > :04:10.commute, new research could help them decide where to look. House
:04:11. > :04:15.prices in London have been rising by as much as ?4500 a week. It's no
:04:16. > :04:17.wonder increasing numbers of families are cashing their equity

:04:20. > :04:24.and swapping their small fl`t for a large house in the Home Counties.
:04:25. > :04:29.But the map of London's traditional commuter belt is changing. Take this
:04:30. > :04:34.family. In April, they moved 80 miles out from Wandsworth to Pewsey
:04:35. > :04:39.in Wiltshire. We found the school that we liked and then we found this
:04:40. > :04:41.house. We wanted a bit more space, a garden, we wanted to have fhelds
:04:42. > :04:42.house. We wanted a bit more space, a garden, we wanted to have fields to
:04:43. > :04:47.garden, we wanted to have fhelds to look out over. Technology is also
:04:48. > :04:49.playing its part. Working from home part`time takes the sting ott of a
:04:50. > :04:51.part`time takes the sting out of a long commute. I probably wotld have
:04:52. > :04:53.long commute. I probably would have struggled to do that five d`ys
:04:54. > :04:54.long commute. I probably wotld have struggled to do that five days a
:04:55. > :05:03.week, just because it's that bit further. By being able to do what I
:05:04. > :05:05.do and have those couple of days at home actually, I find that more
:05:06. > :05:09.home actually, I find that lore productive when I'm at home than
:05:10. > :05:14.when I'm in the office. For James, it's an hour and a half 's train
:05:15. > :05:17.journey to the capital. I'm not crammed in like a sardine on the
:05:18. > :05:23.Northern line, I get a seat, I can sit back and read the paper. Life

:05:29. > :05:50.basic Hackney flat could bux them. The ideal for people is certainly
:05:51. > :05:53.what we call home in an hour. It is an hour on a mainline station. But
:05:54. > :05:54.beyond that, people will go for two hours, that's a four our commute
:05:55. > :05:54.beyond that, people will go for two hours, that's a four our colmute in
:05:55. > :05:57.hours, that's a four our commute in a day. But a lot of people work is
:05:58. > :06:00.changing, so they might be doing that four days a week rather than
:06:01. > :06:02.size, and that is quite critical to people and their sense of
:06:03. > :06:03.well`being. This is a map of affordability, produced by `
:06:04. > :06:05.affordability, produced by a transport analyst who has added the
:06:06. > :06:08.cost of the season ticket from every station to the annual cost of a
:06:09. > :06:09.mortgage. The areas coloured red are the most expensive, the mord
:06:10. > :06:10.the most expensive, the more traditional commuter belts such as
:06:11. > :06:12.Cobham, which costs an aver`ge of Cobham, which costs an average of
:06:13. > :06:17.?4556 a month, and Canterbury West, which will set you back ?1413. But
:06:18. > :06:34.it is the cheaper places in green that increasing numbers of Londoners
:06:35. > :06:37.have been tempted to head two. Swindon, near Pewsey, costs just
:06:38. > :06:38.over ?1000 a month, and so does Folkestone. But the green areas on
:06:39. > :06:39.that map in the distant futtre could that map in the distant future could

:06:54. > :07:03.We are going to see more cloud through the middle part of this
:07:04. > :07:06.week. It will creep south as we go through the night and it will turn
:07:07. > :07:11.misty, murky with some drizzly, patchy rain. Humid, too. It might be
