:04:16. > :04:20.No running water and no electricity in Romania, this footage shows the

:04:21. > :04:27.kind of conditions many would have to return to. These raids are not a

:04:28. > :04:34.long`term solution. If you are trying to break centuries of

:04:35. > :04:39.systematic persecution and discrimination, so this will take

:04:40. > :04:43.time. It needs help for the Roma community to come together and voice

:05:07. > :05:15.Heathrow bosses ask the mayor to back their expansion plans.

:05:16. > :05:22.The government has raised the terrorism threat level from

:05:23. > :05:26.substantial too severe, meaning a terrorist attack is considered

:05:27. > :05:27.likely in the UK. David Camdron terrorist attack is considered

:05:28. > :05:29.likely in the UK. David Cameron said likely in the UK. David Cameron said

:05:30. > :05:31.the change was in response to the activities of Islamic state

:05:32. > :05:40.militants. What does this mdan for militants. What does this mean for

:05:41. > :05:48.people in the capital? Our correspondence is in central London.

:05:49. > :05:49.The capital city is always going to be an attract the target but

:05:50. > :05:50.terrorists. London has had hts be an attract the target but

:05:51. > :05:52.terrorists. London has had hts fair share of experience in the last ten

:05:53. > :05:54.years. The commissioner of The Met police has said the prospect of

:05:55. > :05:56.Londoners returning from fighting in Iraq and Syria is his greatdst

:05:57. > :05:59.Iraq and Syria is his greatest concern. I spoke earlier to a

:06:00. > :06:01.security expert who explained concern. I spoke earlier to a

:06:02. > :06:04.security expert who explaindd the raising of the security threat is

:06:05. > :06:09.significant. We are the second highest threat level this country

:06:10. > :06:12.has been exposed to. It is the first time it has been raised to this

:06:13. > :06:15.level for three years. Therd is time it has been raised to this

:06:16. > :06:19.level for three years. There is a level for three years. There is a

:06:20. > :06:22.significant threat to us, especially in London where terrorists will see

:06:23. > :06:25.an opportunity by executing an attack here. We need to adhdre to

:06:26. > :06:26.an opportunity by executing an attack here. We need to adhere to do

:06:27. > :06:33.this threat level by taking it seriously and that accordingly.

:06:34. > :06:39.Following on from that, how will it affect Londoners? The most likely

:06:40. > :06:43.impact will be the increased visibility of police and security

:06:44. > :06:45.services. It not only serves to deter would be terrorists but

:06:46. > :06:50.services. It not only serves to deter would be terrorists btt it

:06:51. > :06:54.will reassure the public and make people feel safer. We can expect the

:06:55. > :07:03.police to make their presence felt, across the transport network by

:07:04. > :07:06.example. And around some of London's main attractions and

:07:07. > :07:11.landmarks, not least the City of London of course any place which

:07:12. > :07:16.could be deemed a target. We are likely to face some restrictions,

:07:17. > :07:18.check points and searches and possible disruption if therd are

:07:19. > :07:21.possible disruption if there are security alerts. It is diffhcult

:07:22. > :07:21.possible disruption if therd are security alerts. It is difficult to

:07:22. > :07:25.security alerts. It is diffhcult to say how else the day`to`day life of

:07:26. > :07:29.most Londoners will be impacted by this increased security threat.

:07:30. > :07:30.most Londoners will be impacted by this increased security thrdat. The

:07:31. > :07:39.main repercussions are likely to be felt by the government and by

:07:40. > :07:44.security services. Londoners in poorer areas are being

:07:45. > :07:46.disadvantaged by a lack of public transport and that makes it harder

:07:47. > :07:49.for them to get a job. According to a new report from Labour melbers

:07:50. > :07:51.for them to get a job. According to a new report from Labour members on

:07:52. > :07:58.the London assembly. It found those living in deprived areas find it

:07:59. > :08:06.hardest to access transport. But City Hall disagrees.

:08:07. > :08:11.This is North Peckham, one of London's poorer areas. Until

:08:12. > :08:17.recently the buses here were not very good. After a campaign, it has

:08:18. > :08:27.got another service. How do you find the buses? It could be bettdr, but

:08:28. > :08:33.not so bad. Is it OK? They have got better since they gave us a second

:08:34. > :08:34.one. It is easier for those who live here to get to work although they

:08:35. > :08:35.still want more buses. For every still want more buses. For dvery

:08:36. > :08:44.improvement we get, we get another improvement we get, we get another

:08:45. > :08:47.estate held with 400 people living in it so it is a denser population.

:08:48. > :08:52.Areas like this with high`ddnsity Areas like this with high`ddnsity

:08:53. > :08:55.housing and deprivation can suffer from poor transport. Perhaps better

:08:56. > :09:00.links like tube stations drive up links like tube stations drhve up

:09:01. > :09:08.property costs pricing out lower earnings will stop it would be very

:09:09. > :09:09.easy to improve the life ch`nces earnings will stop it would be very

:09:10. > :09:14.easy to improve the life ch`nces are people in poorer areas, particularly

:09:15. > :09:19.on the council estates by putting additional bus services in,

:09:20. > :09:24.increasing the services of some and giving them additional link`ges so

:09:25. > :09:27.they can find work and easily get access to education and training.

:09:28. > :09:30.access to education and trahning. This report highlights how there was

:09:31. > :09:40.a huge increase in the network from 2000 to 2012. Was a 38% increase, up

:09:41. > :09:43.to 480 million kilometres. Now that increase has stalled and thd target

:09:44. > :09:52.increase has stalled and the target to 2020 is just for a 4% increase.

:09:53. > :09:55.City Hall recognises transport regeneration is key to unlocking

:09:56. > :10:02.jobs and says it is investing in new projects. TEFL claims 90% of

:10:03. > :10:10.Londoners lived within 400 metres of a bus stop. In inner London,

:10:11. > :10:13.generally has better public transport and services and better

:10:14. > :10:18.access to other services. Wd believe the network reflect dingbats,

:10:19. > :10:25.recognising there are pockets access is not as good and example of

:10:26. > :10:30.Peckham is an area where we have tried to fill some of those gaps.

:10:31. > :10:36.Why London's bus service was recently called the best in Britain,

:10:37. > :10:42.this report hopes to start the debate on how transport grows and

:10:43. > :10:45.how it can be used to tackld deprivation in the capital. A

:10:46. > :10:48.20`year`old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by

:10:49. > :10:53.dangerous driving at a 16`year`old boy was killed in Hemel Hampstead.

:10:54. > :10:56.Vaz and Ahmed died after thd Vaz and Ahmed died after thd

:10:57. > :11:03.collision in Jupiter Drive last Friday. Police say they are still

:11:11. > :11:15.plans to build a new cancer centre at Saint Barts hospital. He says the

:11:16. > :11:20.plans are not in keeping with the rest of the site.

:11:21. > :11:25.We could be days away from finding out if Boris Johnson's idea for a

:11:26. > :11:30.new airport in the Thames Estuary will live to fight another day. To

:11:31. > :11:36.date, Heathrow bosses have written an open letter to the mayor saying

:11:37. > :11:40.if his idea does not happen, could he back their plans for exp`nsion?

:11:46. > :11:48.country's biggest airport and the country's busiest airport and today,

:11:49. > :11:55.the country 's macro cheekiest airport. No secret they want a third

:11:56. > :12:03.runway and no secret the mayor wants a new airport in the Thames Estuary.

:12:04. > :12:06.He said if they get it, there would be a new neighbourhood for London.

:13:01. > :13:06.did say they thought the estuary airport remained the most credible

:13:07. > :13:13.option. But the mayor has gone on record in the past by saying if we

:13:14. > :13:19.does not get his airport, hd would like to see expansion at Atoyac and

:13:20. > :13:24.not Heathrow. No reminding the mayor or offering helpful advice from

:13:41. > :13:49.On that note, we do expect an On that note, we do expect `n

:13:50. > :13:52.announcement very soon? Not entirely sure when. City Hall don't know,

:13:53. > :13:55.they just said very soon. The best guest is it will be on Tuesday and

:13:56. > :13:57.we will know whether the tile, guest is it will be on Tuesday and

:13:58. > :14:01.we will know whether the time, money and the energy the mayor has spent

:14:02. > :14:05.on it will be worthwhile. It is one of the big projects the mayor has
