That's all from us. Now it's time for the news where | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good evening and welcome. People living next to a mountain of waste | :00:00. | :00:23. | |
in Bromley say not enough has been done to reduce the huge mound which | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
they say smells like rotten coralses. | :00:30. | :00:30. | |
done to reduce the huge mound which they say smells like rotten Today | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
the Environment Agency `` corpses. Today the Environment Agency started | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
work. Today a fire broke out. This mountain of waste has been | :00:38. | :00:47. | |
towering over residents' homes here in Orpington for three years. After | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
a lengthy legal battle the Environment Agency is taking action. | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
Today, they have started to remove some of it. We've not been able to | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
open our doors and windows because of the smell. The smells have been | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
unbelievable! The house smells, you get it on your clothes, in your | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
hair. It's been like rotting corpses invading your house. It is not just | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
the sight and smell, the residents say there is the risk of fire. There | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
has been one here today. One of 17 in the last year. It has cost the | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
London Fire Brigade in the region of ?650,000. We are here on a regular | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
basis. As you can see from the size of it poses risk to our fire crews | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
working in the local area. There is a risk of it collapsing. It is | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
estimated this vast amount of waste amounts to 20,000 tonnes. The | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
Environment Agency wants to remove some of it in the coming weeks. That | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
they say will make it a safe level. Some want to see the whole thing | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
gone. This is supposed to be greenbelt land. We want it returned | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
to a use which does not have a pile of waste that towers over people's | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
houses, even over the flyover on the A 20. The site here is run by | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
Waste4Fuel. The aim was originally to burn the rubbish, turning it into | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
renewable energy. That never happened and the pile got higher and | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
higher. Today, we took an environmental risk assessor along to | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
see what he thought. It looks like a very dangerous pile that could | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
collapse. It looks very unstable to me. So, I would worry about an | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
avalanche of debris and waste hitting my house and my garden. | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
Residents here say although they are pleased some waste is finally being | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
removed, they want the whole thing gone and soon. | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
A 29`year`old man from Bethnal Green has been found guilty of terror | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
charges after he was found with bomb`making plans on his laptop. | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
Afsor Ali was arrested while trying to board a Eurostar train using | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
someone else's passport. Police have recovered three guns from a back | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
garden in South London. They were concealed under a paving slab, | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
surrounded by garden gnomes. Two men have been arrested following the | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
raid. A man has been jailed for 13 years | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
following his attempt to raid a company which stores cash, using a | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
stolen digger. The plan failed because he knocked down the wrong | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
wall. Raymond Betson was previously in prison for trying to steal a | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
diamond from the Millennium Dome in 2000. How is the turmoil in the | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
Middle East being reflected on the streets of London? Gaza may be 2,000 | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
miles away, but what is happening there as well as in Iraq and Syria | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
is finding expression here amongst the communities of the capital. | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
It maybe a sign of the sensitivity of the times that a flag can get | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
this much press. Locals have found themselves quizzed on their | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
attitudes to the Middle East and Gaza. Until last night, there was a | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
black flag here too. Some said it was like those waved by jihadist | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
fighters. One of the locals, who would talk, said the area could do | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
without the attention. I don't like this in my area. I don't understand | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
something which will divide the community. I don't like something | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
like this at all. Also, myself I don't know what is behind it. Also, | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
I don't know what is the meaning of it. I just notice a flag. Some of | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
the protests, then miss placed, as far as some are concerned ` others | :04:44. | :04:53. | |
just mis`spelt. This video was posted on YouTube last week. Many | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
pro`Palestinian demonstrators waving flags in the middle of the Blackwall | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
Tunnel. Last night, another demonstration, this time from people | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
angry at the Tricycle theatre. The tension was clear and there have | :05:07. | :05:24. | |
been reports of an increase in anti`accept natic attacks. `` | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
anti`accept mattic attacks in recent weeks. | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
Bridges which have been built and the strain, people become emotional. | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
People become concerned and therefore it spills over into not | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
wanting to co`operate perhaps. I am just preparing for the Sabbath which | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
begins at dusk tonight. It is a time of reflection. This rabbi has much | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
to reflect on. His congregation, he says, have been worried by recent | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
events. He says London is coping better than other parts of Europe, | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
where there has been much more violence. London has developed a | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
broad understanding that we need to get on together whatever the world | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
picture. People are concerned with their neighbour. And their fellow | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
communities. That is something we have to work at. And London has a | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
great history at doing just that. Well, it is good night from me. I | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
will leave you now with the weather. It looks like Saturday is the calm | :06:31. | :06:40. | |
before the storm. Quite a pleasant day in prospect, with some decent | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
sunny spells. Lovely! Temperatures will respond favourably. Peeking at | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
24 Celsius. That is 75 Fahrenheit in central London. Fresher on the | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
outskirts. I am sure you are all aware there is a storm on its way. A | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
yellow warning has been issued. Be prepared for the potential for | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
disruption as this low pressure will move across the country, bringing | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
wet and windy weather with it. It is a different start for London perhaps | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
on Sunday. Pretty wet as that rain shifts further east. Hopefully | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
improving into the afternoon. If that happens, we should get highs of | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
21`22 Celsius. That is how it is looking. Have a pleasant weekend. | :07:26. | :07:36. | |
Good evening. We saw some torrential thunderstorms earlier today. | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
Tomorrow looks like a better day for most places. It will go downhill | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
into Sunday. This is heading our way. This is a couple of day's worth | :07:47. | :07:49. |
