:00:00. > :00:07.Tonight on BBC London News, despite government calls

:00:08. > :00:10.for a crackdown on legal highs, this programme has evidence

:00:11. > :00:12.of laughing gas being widely used at a London festival

:00:13. > :00:30.we look at the dangers posed by this latest legal high.

:00:31. > :00:33.The Met Commissioner calls for measures

:00:34. > :00:37.similar to control orders to be re`introduced to combat terrorism.

:00:40. > :00:53.It's the familiar face of former boss Neil Warnock.

:01:00. > :01:05.paved the way. Good evening,

:01:06. > :01:07.and welcome to the programme. Don't allow legal highs `

:01:08. > :01:11.that's been the clear message from the Government

:01:12. > :01:13.to festival organisers this summer as they try to turn the tide

:01:14. > :01:16.against the use of laughing gas and other legal

:01:17. > :01:18.but potentially dangerous drugs. But BBC London has evidence

:01:19. > :01:21.of widespread use of nitrous oxide, at a festival in South London

:01:22. > :01:26.at the weekend. We saw security guards turnhng

:01:27. > :01:29.a blind eye to its use, with one saying

:01:30. > :01:31.it wasn't his problem. The festival insisted security staff

:01:32. > :01:34.refused entry to, or removed, more than 400 people for

:01:35. > :01:38.arriving with drugs of some sort. But that's not the only thing

:01:39. > :01:50.being done out in broad daylight. Drug users tend to be more discreet,

:01:51. > :01:53.but it's difficult to hide a balloon filled

:01:54. > :01:55.with nitrous oxide, and it didn't take us long

:01:56. > :02:10.to find out where to get them. But very few people seem

:02:11. > :02:28.to be bothered by this. Now, earlier this year

:02:29. > :02:34.the Government asked festivals Now, the organisers of the

:02:35. > :02:40.South West Four weekender told us that it treated laughing gas as

:02:41. > :02:43.on a par with illegal drugs, and therefore it wasn't allowed, anyone

:02:44. > :02:48.using them would be thrown out. But take a look at this,

:02:49. > :02:51.these girls are lying on the floor. They've clearly got balloons

:02:52. > :02:54.in their mouths, told us it didn't condone

:02:55. > :03:11.any drug`taking and that all of the securitx staff

:03:12. > :03:16.were notified of its policy. It said it had drug dogs,

:03:17. > :03:19.CCTV cameras, and a number

:03:20. > :03:22.of other anti`drug measures. 439 people were either refused entry

:03:23. > :03:30.or removed from the event. Now, we did see the security

:03:31. > :03:33.guard confiscate a balloon. the person would have been

:03:34. > :03:39.thrown out. But we did find some evidence

:03:40. > :03:47.of illegal drug`taking, too. While the law is clear

:03:48. > :03:49.about Class A drugs, rules about legal highs like

:03:50. > :03:52.laughing gas are still blurred. But this isn't a new craze, and

:03:53. > :03:55.in fact people have been inhaling the gas for hundreds of years as

:03:56. > :04:00.a high, and it's back in fashion. In fact, warnings about it

:04:01. > :04:02.have been issued by councils because of the sheer volume

:04:03. > :04:06.of these canisters being fotnd. And in the last six years, 17 people

:04:07. > :04:11.have died from taking the drug. Your body doesn't get enough oxygen,

:04:12. > :04:15.and that leads to you feeling dizzy, Now, as well as those effects

:04:16. > :04:22.that people look for, it also comes

:04:23. > :04:25.with some negative effects, occasionally

:04:26. > :04:31.people have convulsions. People have even died

:04:32. > :04:34.from using nitrous oxide. Despite this,

:04:35. > :04:37.the authorities have very few powers I'm conscious that the law

:04:38. > :04:43.is not powerful in this regard, and I'm conscious that we

:04:44. > :04:46.are continually chasing the chemist That is why I started a revhew

:04:47. > :04:50.last year to look at the whole question

:04:51. > :04:53.of these particular chemical highs. That review has now reported to me,

:04:54. > :04:58.I've made my conclusions from that report, and it is now

:04:59. > :05:02.awaiting interdepartmental clearance to announce what we are going to do

:05:03. > :05:05.about it. Legal or not, when there is drink

:05:06. > :05:08.and dance, drugs are never far away. The question is whether enough

:05:09. > :05:11.is being done to prevent thdm and whether users are really clear

:05:12. > :05:15.on the dangers. As we've seen, laughing gas

:05:16. > :05:19.is popular amongst many teenagers. It's also dangerous

:05:20. > :05:28.and freely available. Well, that's right. The organisers

:05:29. > :05:32.of this event told me that ht has of this event told me that it has

:05:33. > :05:36.been a major problem for evdnts been a major problem for evdnts

:05:37. > :05:40.across the country, particularly last weekend. I think the problem is

:05:41. > :05:45.that this stuff is so accessible. You can buy it online, in shops

:05:46. > :05:47.because it is meant to go in whipped cream canisters to stop the cream

:05:48. > :05:49.from going bad. Possession hs cream canisters to stop the cream

:05:50. > :05:49.from going bad. Possession is not from going bad. Possession is not

:05:50. > :05:53.illegal. What is against thd law is illegal. What is against the law is

:05:54. > :05:57.selling it to someone under 18 if you know they are going to hnhale

:05:58. > :06:00.it. So it is very difficult for the police to control this, but they

:06:01. > :06:05.have told me they work with trading standards to try to stop street

:06:06. > :06:08.selling, and obviously they strongly warn people against using this. But

:06:09. > :06:09.this isn't the only legal hhgh we this isn't the only legal high we

:06:10. > :06:13.have seen in recent years, `nd the have seen in recent years, and the

:06:14. > :06:15.doctor in my piece told me there is a new one popping up every week, so

:06:16. > :06:19.a new one popping up every week so once one is banned, the chemists

:06:20. > :06:22.change it a little bit and there is a new one. The minister actually

:06:23. > :06:26.describe this as chasing thd describe this as chasing the

:06:27. > :06:29.chemist. To put this into context, according to the crime survey for

:06:30. > :06:32.according to the crime survdy for England and Wales, about 7% of 16`24

:06:33. > :06:35.`year`olds have tried laughhng gas, `year`olds have tried laughing gas,

:06:36. > :06:38.less than those that have tried illegal drugs, but I think the

:06:39. > :06:43.problem is that something which looks innocent, that people may not

:06:44. > :06:45.know is harmful, but can actually kill.

:06:46. > :06:50.With injuries to visually ilpaired people on the rise,

:06:51. > :06:56.a guide dog charity calls on cyclists to take more care.

:06:57. > :07:01.has called for measures simhlar to control orders to be re`introduced

:07:02. > :07:04.to help in the fight against terrorism.

:07:05. > :07:07.It's part of a number of stdps he's spoken about today

:07:08. > :07:13.over fears that Londoners are going abroad to fight in Syria and Iraq.

:07:14. > :07:15.Our home affairs correspondent Guy Smith joins me now.

:07:16. > :07:22.Guy, this is potentially controversial.

:07:23. > :07:27.Well, potentially, it is, Alex, because the Home Secretary ended

:07:28. > :07:31.because the Home Secretary dnded control orders in 2011, replacing

:07:32. > :07:35.them with a system of curfews to focus on surveillance of terrorism

:07:36. > :07:36.suspects, but in the light of what has been happening in Syria and

:07:37. > :07:38.Iraq, the Bernard Hogan`Howd has been happening in Syria and

:07:39. > :07:38.Iraq, the Bernard Hogan`Howe said has been happening in Syria and

:07:39. > :07:40.Iraq, the Bernard Hogan`Howd said in Iraq, the Bernard Hogan`Howe said in

:07:41. > :07:45.an interview today that the drumbeat has changed, he wanted something

:07:46. > :07:49.like control orders to restrict the movements of terror suspects. But

:07:50. > :07:52.these are highly intrusive powers on suspects that have not received a

:07:53. > :07:54.trial, that have not been convicted of committing a crime. The

:07:55. > :07:56.authorities are telling thel where authorities are telling them where

:07:57. > :08:00.to live, banning them from leeting to live, banning them from meeting

:08:01. > :08:02.certain individuals, banning them from using mobile phones, b`nning

:08:03. > :08:07.from using mobile phones, banning them from access to the intdrnet.

:08:08. > :08:10.But the former independent reviewer of terrorism, Lord Carlile, agreed

:08:11. > :08:13.with the commission on tougher action.

:08:14. > :08:17.Sir Bernard has emphasised the element of control orders

:08:18. > :08:20.that allowed people to be relocated with the approval of a court.

:08:21. > :08:22.It worked very well to prevent a number of people from

:08:23. > :08:25.being involved in direct terrorism, and it is necessary

:08:26. > :08:31.to reintroduce something like it in the present situation.

:08:32. > :08:41.So what has the reaction been from the Home Office? Well, Alex, what we

:08:42. > :08:44.have now are so`called TPIMs, and in a statement the Home Office said

:08:45. > :08:48.they are a useful weapon in our armoury, introduced because control

:08:49. > :08:51.orders were not working, and their powers were being struck down by the

:08:52. > :08:57.courts. What is the commissioners saying about the number of Londoners

:08:58. > :09:02.going abroad to fight? Sir Bernard Hogan`Howe said that MI5 had

:09:03. > :09:05.estimated there were up to 600 British nationals going abroad to

:09:06. > :09:09.fight. It had been reported that half of them were from London, but

:09:10. > :09:14.Sir Bernard Hogan`Howe said that now he believed up to three quarters

:09:15. > :09:19.were from London, and some had already returned. So therefore he

:09:20. > :09:20.supported the idea of stripping these people who are going abroad

:09:21. > :09:24.supported the idea of stripping these people who are going `broad to

:09:25. > :09:27.fight of their British passports if the law allows. Thank you, Guy

:09:28. > :09:29.Smith, reporting from Scotland Yard. at the Notting Hill Carnival

:09:30. > :09:32.on Monday which has been shared

:09:33. > :09:35.thousands of times. A warning `

:09:36. > :09:38.you may find the image distressing. after repeatedly asking a man

:09:39. > :09:42.not to touch her inappropri`tely. Police have confirmed

:09:43. > :09:43.they are investigating an allegation of indecent assault

:09:44. > :09:47.and grievous bodily harm. Police have launched

:09:48. > :09:49.a murder investigation after a 24`year`old man was stabbed

:09:50. > :09:53.in Croydon yesterday afternoon. between a group of men

:09:54. > :09:57.on Cromwell Road. One man armed with a knife

:09:58. > :10:00.was seen attacking him. He died shortly afterwards

:10:01. > :10:06.in hospital. A phone app developed

:10:17. > :10:32.has been finding out more. The symptoms of a heart attack, two

:10:33. > :10:37.elements are vital, the timd it takes for an ambulance to arrive and

:11:31. > :11:35.Absolutely not, it will dial 99 when you press the emergency

:11:36. > :11:37.button, but what the idea of it is to harness local community members

:11:38. > :11:40.to harness local community lembers who are 200 metres away so that when

:12:17. > :12:18.to help me. There are now 1000 medics signed up to Good Sam in the

:12:19. > :12:22.capital, and what they need now is for members of the public to join in

:12:23. > :12:29.so that every Londoner, if they choose, can become a good Samaritan.

:12:40. > :12:41.And in south London, the Crystal Palace manager saga is finally

:12:42. > :12:43.over, four years after leaving over, four years after leavhng

:12:44. > :12:51.Selhurst Park, Neil Warnock is back. Cyclists are being asked

:12:52. > :12:54.to take more care after an increase in the number of incidents

:12:55. > :12:57.of guide dogs and their owndrs TfL and the London Cycling Campaign

:12:58. > :13:01.are supporting the initiative, and let's face it,

:13:02. > :13:08.we've all taken chances. A typical busy street

:13:09. > :13:10.in the heart of London, and lots of people coming and going,

:13:11. > :13:15.many of them in a hurry. London can be a frightening place

:13:16. > :13:18.even when you can see what's coming, It's difficult to hear a cyclist,

:13:19. > :13:25.so Guide Dogs London, supported by Transport for London

:13:26. > :13:29.and the London Cycling Campaign, are calling on cyclists to use

:13:30. > :13:33.their eyes for those who can't after a rise

:13:34. > :13:36.in the number of incidents involving blind

:13:37. > :13:38.or partially sighted pedestrians. I think we all know the mayor

:13:39. > :13:42.is ploughing a lot of money into a cycling revolution

:13:43. > :13:44.in London at the moment, and that's leading

:13:45. > :13:45.to an increase in more people cycling

:13:46. > :13:47.on our roads, and therefore we are seeing

:13:48. > :13:49.more of a problem. are registered blind

:13:50. > :13:52.or partially sighted, with just over 320 using

:13:53. > :13:56.guide dogs in the city. Today's campaign is all abott trying

:13:57. > :14:00.to make their journey safer. Deborah and her dog Lewis

:14:01. > :14:03.know the hazards only too wdll. I was hit by a cyclist in broad

:14:04. > :14:08.daylight on a very wide pavement. He was coming towards me,

:14:09. > :14:11.just knocked me over. the contents of my bag were

:14:12. > :14:17.damaged, left in a bit of a state. I think cyclists understand

:14:18. > :14:20.what it is like to be vulnerable, and I would like them to think

:14:21. > :14:24.a bit more about what it is like for a visually impaired person

:14:25. > :14:26.who can't see them coming. Whether it's a guide dog

:14:27. > :14:29.wearing a high`vis coat or someone carrying a white cane,

:14:30. > :14:32.they say they are doing thehr bit, now it's time for cyclists

:14:33. > :14:34.to do the same. You don't know whether a pedestrian

:14:35. > :14:38.can see you or here you or anything and you need to assume

:14:39. > :14:41.that they can't see you It's common sense, and we'd

:14:42. > :14:48.like everyone to understand that. The onus is on you to avoid me, I'm

:14:49. > :14:52.afraid, it just has to be like that. Because hit the dog,

:14:53. > :14:56.and the dog is out of action then I'm out of action,

:14:57. > :15:01.I can't go out the front door. It's a call for everyone

:15:02. > :15:06.to use their eyes, Police have said a hit`and`run

:15:07. > :15:20.driver who killed a 16`year`old boy in Hemel Hempstead "will know what

:15:21. > :15:23.he or she has done". Fazan Ahmed died in hospital

:15:24. > :15:26.on Sunday after he was struck Today, detectives urged

:15:27. > :15:30.the driver to hand themselves in. At a press conference today,

:15:31. > :15:33.the teenager's family were too distraught to speak, so

:15:34. > :15:35.an officer spoke on their behalf. Look at the devastation you have

:15:36. > :15:42.caused this family, his friends Please come forward

:15:43. > :15:52.and help us deal with our loss. A man's been arrested over

:15:53. > :15:55.the murder of a politician from Pakistan who was stabbdd

:15:56. > :15:58.in the street outside his house. Dr Imran Farooq was attacked

:15:59. > :16:03.in Waltham Forest in 2010. A 30 year old man was arrested

:16:04. > :16:06.at a nearby address and polhce are still looking for two other men

:16:07. > :16:11.in connection with the attack. Sport now, and Crystal Palace have

:16:12. > :16:14.confirmed that their former manager Neil Warnock has returned to

:16:15. > :16:17.the club as their new boss. The Premier League team has been

:16:18. > :16:23.without a manager since Tonx Pulis quit the role just days

:16:24. > :16:26.before the start of the new season. Well, our sports reporter

:16:27. > :16:28.Sara Orchard is at Selhurst Park for us now and it's been

:16:29. > :16:41.a turbulent few days, hasn't it Few days? It has been a nutty few

:16:42. > :16:46.weeks if you have been a fan, but after four years away there have

:16:47. > :16:50.been five permanent managers, three caretaker managers, but now Neil

:16:51. > :16:53.Warnock is back. He was last at Selhurst Park in 2010, when the club

:16:54. > :16:58.went into administration. Hd Selhurst Park in 2010, when the club

:16:59. > :17:02.went into administration. He managed to go to their local rivals, Queens

:17:03. > :17:04.Park Rangers. Earlier today, I spoke to some of the Eagles fans on the

:17:05. > :17:13.new appointment. I really did not new appointment. I really dhd not

:17:14. > :17:16.expect it. We are still in shock with what has gone on before. I

:17:17. > :17:19.with what has gone on beford. I can't see where we go from here. We

:17:20. > :17:22.will have to see. I think hd will do will have to see. I think hd will do

:17:23. > :17:25.a good job. He seems to have will have to see. I think he will do

:17:26. > :17:25.a good job. He seems to havd done a a good job. He seems to have done a

:17:26. > :17:33.good job elsewhere. But I stppose we good job elsewhere. But I suppose we

:17:34. > :17:40.will have to judge him on results. We have been through it all before,

:17:41. > :17:51.and then he ran away. He is too old! Read we need somebody a bit younger.

:17:52. > :17:52.Neil Warnock is 65, if you were wondering. He was last in a position

:18:23. > :18:28.And how do you think the players will react to it? I am sure they

:18:29. > :18:33.will support him. We heard today from the co`chairman that funds will

:20:17. > :20:19.These started in France four years ago, and have been so successful

:20:20. > :20:24.The idea is to cut out the middleman of the superm`rket

:20:28. > :20:33.The theory is that everybodx gets a better deal and a nicer experience.

:20:34. > :20:54.Better than going to a markdt stall in the cold.

:20:55. > :20:57.It gives me a bit more predictability because we
