Flew in from the north, went into the southern lake. He has campaigned

at this site so many times that he is friends with the local

bird-watchers, beyond this site is a landfill site, where a proposed new

incinerator is going to be built. Burning rubbish for Murton, Sutton,

Croydon and Kingston Council 's. I Croydon and Kingston Council 's I

challenge anybody who says that it is safe to live downwind from here,

studies have shown that if you live downwind from the incinerator, you

have got high infant mortality rates, and high birth defects. -

rates, and high birth defects. -- Merton. Modern science says that

modern incinerators have little to no effect on health but there are

also advantages, electricity will be created for 30,000 homes, saving the

four Burris ?200 million. Some argue the real issue is whether there will

be enough rubbish to burn, as we eventually recycle more and more. --

saving the four boroughs ?200 million. Recycling could be up to

70% by 2030, that if we are at successful in achieving that, less

residual waste will be available. These boroughs think they have got

to act now, saying in a statement: As for Sutton Council, they are

vigorously defending their planning decision, telling BBC London that

they welcomed the judicial review. Just over 2000... The fight goes on,

trying to raise funds through the Internet for the court case which

will be heard in October. A 56 year-old man has been arrested

on suspicion of sexual assault by police investigating historic child

abuse allegations at two schools. The man is the seventh person

to be arrested by officers investigating claims

of sexual abuse and misconduct at St Paul's School in Barnes,

and its prep school, Colet Court. More then one in ten Londoners

is Muslim and this afternoon, thousands have packed

into Trafalgar Square to celebrate It's to mark the end of Ramadan,

the Islamic month of fasting, although anyone can join

the celebrations. It was the music at first which

brought many people to Trafalgar Square this afternoon, some had come

especially to celebrate Eid, others stopped by to enjoy the festival

atmosphere. I came here expecting to see loads of Asians, I am seeing a

lot of different types of races. see loads of Asians, I am seeing a

lot of different types of races A lot of different types of races. A

lot of different people here, also liberating Eid together. She had

come from Shoreditch with the brothers, sisters and cousins. It is

like a reward, after fasting for the entire month. It is great to go to

people 's houses, to come here, celebrate. After one month of

fasting, it is great to celebrate. Today was about feasting. Food from

across the Islamic world. And for the first time ever at the annual

event, a fashion show, featuring designers from south Asia and the

Middle East. Eid is a time when culturally, religiously, we buy new

outfits, there is three days of Eid. It is a shopping bonanza for the

women. I'm not Muslim but it gives us a chance to integrate, which is

what London needs. I think that London is embracing it. Above all,

for many families gathered around the Fountain, today was a chance to

celebrate a special day together. And it should be a completely

dry day for us with light winds Feeling warm as

the temperature reaches 24 celsius. That is all for the moment, I hope

that you have a very good evening, goodbye.

It has been one of those days, Sony for some and pouring with rain for

others. Locally there has been intense downpours. Further west,

resolutely cloudy and wet across the heart of Scotland and
