Residents on an estate in south London say they're living in fear | :00:13. | :00:21. | |
for their safety - as building work takes place all around them. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
Hundreds of new homes are being built in Lambeth to replace flats - | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
which are still being lived in - leading to concerns over danger | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
This is the shiny future they have been promised. | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
But to get there, residents on this estate in Lambeth must wait | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
for their homes to be torn down and rebuilt around them. | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
And that means living on a demolition site, | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
It is not being treated like a building site, they are not | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
securing it well enough, there are health and safety risks. | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
Look at all of these bits just left unattended. | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
We have got a lot of kids in the area so they could easily come in. | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
We are just trying to enforce the health and safety and make sure | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
these sites are properly secured just to prevent a horrible accident. | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
This property has been empty for a couple of months now | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
and until recently you could walk inside there. | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
We have been told that a couple of nights ago people came and started | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
a fire inside, which is why all of this stuff was brought outside. | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
The door has now been boarded up by the developers but you can see that | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
There is much anger here towards the developers. | :01:27. | :01:35. | |
Residents on the Myatts Field North Estate now want | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
And for some of those already in their new homes it has not been the | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
This is where the leak is coming from | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
and that is why the cupboard is like that and it needs to be replaced. | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
The quality of the properties are poor. | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
It looks nice and they are lovely but they are poor. | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
It's the sound issue, it's the floods, it's the leaks | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
Some people haven't had hot water for weeks or months. | :02:03. | :02:12. | |
The developer, Regenta, says there is a repairs team | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
on hand and that the derelict properties are checked every day. | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
Meanwhile, Lambeth Council says it is investigating the alleged | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
But with years until all this is complete residents say they will | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
continue to shout to ensure they are not forgotten amongst the rubble. | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
Gatwick Airport has apologised to hundreds of passengers | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
after they were told to go home without their luggage. | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
Officials blamed staff shortages - while many travellers used social | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
media to complain of delays of up to five hours. | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
Gatwick says operations have now started returning to normal. | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
The police watchdog has begun an investigation after | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
a man died following an incident involving police in north London. | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
It happened in Islington in the early hours of this morning | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
London Ambulance Service were called, | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
The Independent Police Complaints Commission said its investigators | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
Two people arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit female genital | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
A 72-year-old Ugandan man was stopped at Heathrow Airport | :03:11. | :03:23. | |
after arriving on a flight from Kampala with an 11-year-old girl. | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
Specialist officers took the girl - who's a UK national - | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
An elderly couple from Southfleet in Dartford have spoken of their | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
terror after burglars raided their home and viciously attacked them. | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
Rani and Jas Apaul were asleep in bed when the intruders struck. | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
These distressing pictures show the impact of the violent attack | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
on Rarni and Jas Apaul in their own home that left them | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
They were in bed when the break in happened at around 10:15pm. | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
My first memory is of three chaps standing at the foot of our bed. | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
And the light going on, and thinking the inevitable is going to happen. | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
I just about got to the corner of the bed when they whacked me with | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
Mr Upaul was so badly beaten he suffered a broken | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
The burglars then assaulted Mrs Upaul before breaking into the | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
couple's safe and making off with cash, jewellery and their passports. | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
They have gone through an horrific experience | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
so I would appeal for anybody with any information whatsoever | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
about the attack, the information in regards to the property | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
I don't want to be alone in that house. | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
In fact, I don't want to live in that house any more. | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
A ?5000 reward has been offered to help find those responsible. | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
Let's now get the weather forecast for the start of the week from Sara. | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
We've got some showers in the forecast for tomorrow. | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
It's a risk of showers for us all though. | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
Some warm sunshine between the showers | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
Generally dry weather throughout the night and more comfortable to sleep | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
Some sunshine tomorrow but the showers always there towards | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
the east making their way toward central London and | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
they will be slow-moving, thundery and with some hail mixed in. | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
Plenty of sunshine either side of those showers but | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
if you catch one it will be quite torrential, and The Met office has | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
issued a weather warning - in force through the day tomorrow - | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
Tuesday will be drier and brighter with good spells of | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
Some cloud, but generally dry for the middle part of the week | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
That's it from the BBC London weekend team for tonight. | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
From all of us here, we wish you a very good night. | :05:55. | :06:06. | |
Good evening. Top temperatures today were good for all 5 degrees down on | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
what we saw yesterday and humidity was a bit lower so all in all much | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
more comfortable end to the weekend. For the week ahead there is warmth | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
in the sunshine over the next few days, but not completely dry because | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
they will be some showers and notably the coming few nights should | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
be a bit cooler. Earlier today we saw heavy thunderstorms in the far | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
south-east but lots of fine weather that it was wet underneath this | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
cloud in the West of Scotland and Northern Ireland and a bit of a | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
breeze. Wet and windy weather is moving its way south all the while. | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
It should be largely dry over Scotland overnight and the wind will | :06:41. | :06:41. | |
clear | :06:42. | :06:42. |
