:01:49. > :01:54.speed is now vital. A lot of uncertainty. There is a real air of
:01:55. > :01:59.uncertainty. There is no benefit from dragging things out. The Square
:02:00. > :02:01.mile wants clarity and quickly. Lloyds of London has been
:02:02. > :02:06.underpinning the underpinnings in the insurance world for more than
:02:07. > :02:11.300 years. Used to managing risk, contingency plans are being
:02:12. > :02:18.finalised if Brexit negotiations impact business. Some staff could be
:02:19. > :02:21.moved. We have got to have people physically in another country
:02:22. > :02:25.looking at that business. Previously, they would have been
:02:26. > :02:28.based in London. But that is only for Lloyds, a small proportion but
:02:29. > :02:32.if other businesses have two follow suit, that means that there will be
:02:33. > :02:37.people based outside of London. But London I'm sure will still remain
:02:38. > :02:45.the heart of insurers globally. It's actually a more positive sign.
:02:46. > :02:49.Before the referendum, there were scare stories of large company is
:02:50. > :02:57.moving their headquarters abroad. But nevertheless, is this a sign of
:02:58. > :03:00.a brain drain? This company helps 20,000 clients collect payments from
:03:01. > :03:05.customers. Smaller businesses like this are also watching nervously. We
:03:06. > :03:08.are used to kind of adapting and changing quite quickly and I think
:03:09. > :03:13.that is possibly one advantage that we have as a smaller, younger
:03:14. > :03:17.company is that we can move a little bit more quickly and easily. They
:03:18. > :03:20.now have clients across the European Union and are making plans to move
:03:21. > :03:23.some of their operation abroad, depending on what the government can
:03:24. > :03:28.broker. There are two really important things, continued access
:03:29. > :03:33.to the European market in terms of financial access, that is par
:03:34. > :03:39.sporting for us, and also some form of free movement of workers, or a
:03:40. > :03:42.very efficient immigration system. Some have seen it all before and
:03:43. > :03:48.believe the next few years will be boomtime. This man has worked in
:03:49. > :03:53.finance for 26 years. Where once he saw the Japanese, then Europeans
:03:54. > :03:57.investing hand over fist, now he says it is the Chinese ready to fuel
:03:58. > :03:59.London's economy. This idea that there will be an exodus of
:04:00. > :04:05.businesses and people goes against what we are seeing. London is
:04:06. > :04:11.something quite exceptional. It is a destination for people and capital
:04:12. > :04:18.around the world, far beyond the European Union. And it is that
:04:19. > :04:22.factor that promises to keep London growing in the years ahead. So,
:04:23. > :04:27.Brexit will bring positives, it will bring negatives. For some, there is
:04:28. > :04:31.a whole world of opportunity opening up. For others, life may be about to

:05:16. > :05:18.That's a fraction of the four weeks' training that NHS drivers receive.

:05:42. > :05:43.But increasingly, NHS trusts are having to use private
:05:44. > :05:49.One of these companies is the Private Ambulance Service,
:05:50. > :05:54.It carries out work like taking patients to hospital appointments,

:06:25. > :06:26.So you had no induction, no training?
:06:27. > :06:30.It was quite clear that I was working with people that,
:06:31. > :06:32.not through their own fault, were not trained.
:06:33. > :06:34.They were not competent in the job and they certainly

:08:52. > :08:54.during a night out at the club Fabric smuggled drugs
:08:55. > :08:56.into the venue in his boxer shorts before buying more.
:08:57. > :08:59.That's what an inquest heard today into the death of Jack Crossley.
:09:00. > :09:02.His was one of several similar cases that lead to the nightclub's
:09:03. > :09:18.Well, Alice Salfield joins me now from outside the club.
:09:19. > :09:24.The inquest heard from two of Jack Crossley 's friends who were with
:09:25. > :09:30.him here at Fabric the day he died. They said he had been to the club
:09:31. > :09:34.twice before. Both times taking the drug MDMA but they believe these
:09:35. > :09:39.were the only times Jack had ever taken drugs. They said that on the
:09:40. > :09:42.5th of August, all three of them hit MDMA in their boxer shorts while
:09:43. > :09:46.queueing to get into Fabric and took the drugs over the course of the
:09:47. > :09:50.night and once they'd finished these, Jack bought some more from
:09:51. > :09:55.someone inside the club which he also took. Around 5:30am, they went
:09:56. > :10:00.to leave that one of the security guard thought Jack looked unwell and
:10:01. > :10:04.took him into a medical area and he suffered a cardiac arrest whilst
:10:05. > :10:10.being treated by paramedics. He was later taken to hospital where he
:10:11. > :10:14.died. Today, the coroner said that the cause of Jack's death was MDMA
:10:15. > :10:19.toxicity and that he had been a naive drug user, just going to a
:10:20. > :10:22.club and doing what everyone else around him appeared to be doing but
:10:23. > :10:26.she said in this case it had ended in tragedy.
:10:27. > :10:33.We know that the club behind you has been closed since September but it
:10:34. > :10:38.is set to reopen later this week. Yes, since 2010, there have been six
:10:39. > :10:41.deaths related to drug activity at Fabric and in September, Islington
:10:42. > :10:47.Council revoked the club's license, forcing it to shut. Since then, the
:10:48. > :10:51.club and the council have come to an agreement, allowing Fabric to reopen
:10:52. > :10:55.with new conditions and today, Jack's uncle spoke about how the
:10:56. > :11:03.family feel about the relaunch of Fabric this Friday. It is not really
:11:04. > :11:07.about any case of retribution or getting justice, today was just
:11:08. > :11:11.about understanding what happened to Jack, how it happened, and how we
:11:12. > :11:16.can avoid it happening to anybody else in the future. If Fabric sheds,
:11:17. > :11:18.it is going to be another club somewhere else opening up and
:11:19. > :11:25.another venue, it makes no difference to us. Today, the general
:11:26. > :11:29.manager of Fabric spokes to the inquest about the changes that would
:11:30. > :11:34.be put in place at the club. These include completely new security
:11:35. > :11:38.procedures and banning under 19. He said anyone caught with drugs at the
:11:39. > :11:42.club would be banned for life but he wanted to stress that the problem
:11:43. > :11:47.was wider than just here at Fabric and that more education on drugs
:11:48. > :11:49.generally was what was needed. Thank you for the latest.
:11:50. > :11:51.A teenage freerunner from Guildford has died
:11:52. > :11:52.after an accident on the Paris Metro.
:11:53. > :11:55.Tributes have been paid to 17-year-old Nye Frankie Newman
:11:56. > :11:58.whose death on New Year's day, was confirmed by his parkour group,
:11:59. > :12:00.a craze which sees people climb and jump in urban environments.
:12:01. > :12:08.They claim he wasn't train surfing at the time.
:12:09. > :12:11.A road has been badly damaged in north west London after a water
:12:12. > :12:14.main burst early this morning. London Fire Brigade were sent
:12:15. > :12:16.to Breakspear Road South in Ickenham to provide help to residents.
:12:17. > :12:25.Affinity Water is carrying out repairs, but the road is expected
:12:26. > :12:36.A group of East London school children are fighting proposals
:12:37. > :12:38.to build concrete factories on the Olympic Park in Stratford.
:12:39. > :12:41.They claim any development on the site would destroy air
:12:42. > :12:43.quality and be detrimental to the health of future generations.
:12:44. > :12:46.And as Emilia Papadopolous reports, they're using their skills from
:12:47. > :12:56.A really short chimney compared to a really tall chimney. This might look
:12:57. > :12:59.like a normal lesson but these schoolchildren are tree coming up
:13:00. > :13:03.with a plan to tackle one of London's biggest issues, pollution.
:13:04. > :13:07.Their school is just a stone's throw from the Olympic Park and ever since
:13:08. > :13:10.plans to build three concrete factories near it emerged, they have
:13:11. > :13:16.been determined to stop it going ahead. It could affect my family and
:13:17. > :13:20.me as well. And there are some other people that are living near as well.
:13:21. > :13:26.If you think about it, there are a lot of people that it could affect.
:13:27. > :13:31.There is going to be loads of pollution coming into the park. If
:13:32. > :13:34.plans are approved, the factories would be built right next to the
:13:35. > :13:37.Olympic Stadium and campaigners say it would mean constant heavy traffic
:13:38. > :13:42.with hundreds of lorries coming in and out of the area every day. An
:13:43. > :13:49.online petition has been started with 11,000 signatures. But these
:13:50. > :13:52.children are also using algebra to make their case and show how the
:13:53. > :14:00.factories would affect air quality is. We are making a report using our
:14:01. > :14:04.English writing skills and then maths as we will send out to the
:14:05. > :14:08.local community and work with local residents. And the teenagers are not
:14:09. > :14:12.the only ones opposing the plans. The land has been made available for
:14:13. > :14:17.industrial use but I don't think a concrete plant is what was envisaged
:14:18. > :14:21.for the Olympic legacy. I think we demand better for the community. Air
:14:22. > :14:25.quality is a huge problem in London and the way it is affecting young
:14:26. > :14:29.people in schools has become a huge concern, there are even some
:14:30. > :14:35.suggestions that schools should be fitted with carbon monoxide
:14:36. > :14:39.monitors. When pollution is high, pupils might be forced to stay
:14:40. > :14:43.indoors. The companies behind the proposals have not commented but the
:14:44. > :14:46.development corporation in charge of the site says they're planning
:14:47. > :14:51.committee are due to make a final decision at the end of the month.
:14:52. > :14:53.It's one of the fiercest rivalries in English football and tonight's
:14:54. > :14:55.London derby between Tottenham and Chelsea has plenty
:14:56. > :14:59.Not only can the Blues extend their lead at the top
:15:00. > :15:02.of the Premier League but they're are also chasing a place
:15:03. > :15:15.Let's join Chris Slegg, who can explain.
:15:16. > :15:21.Yes, Chelsea are a team re-formed under their Italian manager, Antonio
:15:22. > :15:24.Conte, who took charge in the summer. This time last year, they
:15:25. > :15:30.were in disarray. Jose Mourinho had been sacked amid reports of a paym
:15:31. > :15:34.in tip -- player mutiny. Right now though, they lead the player league
:15:35. > :15:38.and are five points ahead of second placed Liverpool. Five points
:15:39. > :15:45.further back in fifth at Tottenham who are having a decent season but
:15:46. > :15:48.their fading title hopes could be delivered a fatal blow to night
:15:49. > :15:52.really if they don't win this match. And as you say, it is not just three
:15:53. > :15:56.points at stake for Chelsea, they could do something that no team
:15:57. > :16:01.since league football originated in England in 1888 has ever done and
:16:02. > :16:08.that is win 14 consecutive league matches in the top division in the
:16:09. > :16:11.same season. Arsenal in 2002 did win 14 consecutive league matches but
:16:12. > :16:16.that was spread across two seasons with the summer break in between.
:16:17. > :16:22.The Chelsea boss is proud to have his team on the cusp of this record.
:16:23. > :16:33.It is a great achievement for us because to win 13 games in a row is
:16:34. > :16:39.not easy. It is very difficult. We have a tough game. A really tough
:16:40. > :16:49.game against Tottenham. And for sure, it is a good team, a very
:16:50. > :16:53.strong team. Yes, Pochettino 's team are very strong at the moment and
:16:54. > :16:57.are in great form. This could be the last batch we see at the existing
:16:58. > :17:02.White Hart Lane between these sides. They could be drawn together in the
:17:03. > :17:06.FA Cup. Tottenham plan to move into Wembley next season while their new
:17:07. > :17:10.stadium continues to be built around their current home. That is still
:17:11. > :17:16.the plan. I spoke to the club today and it is not 100% confirmed that
:17:17. > :17:20.Tottenham will play at Wembley next season. They are still calling it an
:17:21. > :17:23.option. There have been many great matches here down the years and
:17:24. > :17:27.hopefully we will get another one here tonight.
:17:28. > :17:30.A poignant game all round. Thanks very much indeed, Chris.
:17:31. > :17:44.We speak to the star of The Kite Runner as it takes

:18:17. > :18:23.City farming and not a tractor insight but instead this and even
:18:24. > :18:28.more surprising, it's not a field where Alex is heading but here, a
:18:29. > :18:31.derelict Cafe at the elephant and Castle where something rather
:18:32. > :18:36.extraordinary is happening. Here we are in the first mushroom farm in
:18:37. > :18:42.London, which actually uses coffee grounds to grow core main mushrooms.
:18:43. > :18:49.And that unwanted Coffey ground is collected every morning from cafes
:18:50. > :18:54.across south London. As a nation, we dump tonnes of the stuff every year
:18:55. > :18:59.in landfill and that is unsustainable. Bringing farming back
:19:00. > :19:05.into the city can solve a lot of issues. We take ingredients like
:19:06. > :19:11.coffee grounds which have nutrients readily available for the mushrooms
:19:12. > :19:15.to grow out of them. This method of growing mushrooms is
:19:16. > :19:18.super fast and today after much nurturing, cultivating and tending,
:19:19. > :19:23.it is the moment of truth. The company 's first fall harvest. I am
:19:24. > :19:34.quite pleased, they are quite large as well. After just six weeks, the
:19:35. > :19:46.mushrooms are ready to be sold in restaurants right here. Restaurants
:19:47. > :19:51.like this one, part of one of London's newest food markets. The
:19:52. > :19:55.guys insist generating ingredients for your evening meal from your
:19:56. > :20:01.morning coffee is only the beginning of what they say is a growing
:20:02. > :20:06.industry. We have in this case these mushrooms that come from waste
:20:07. > :20:10.produced here, then the mushrooms are grown here and then they are
:20:11. > :20:17.sold to restaurants and consumers. No transportation, no costs that
:20:18. > :20:20.make it more expensive than the ones you would find in the supermarket.
:20:21. > :20:27.For now, the aim is to get other cafes to donate their used coffee
:20:28. > :20:34.grounds so similar farms can spring up in dark corners near you.
:20:35. > :20:36.It's the powerful story of the unlikely friendship

:21:08. > :21:11.of two Afghan friends. Now it is set to open in the West End and the
:21:12. > :21:16.central character is being played by Londoner Ben Turner. The book and
:21:17. > :21:20.film were so successful. There is a lot of anticipation for this in
:21:21. > :21:23.London. That is right. It is a lot of people's favourite book,
:21:24. > :21:27.favourite film, and we have been selling really well for previews and
:21:28. > :21:33.all of that and the response so far has been amazing. Winter used to be
:21:34. > :21:38.my favourite season in Kabul. It was the time of the kite fighting
:21:39. > :21:43.tournament. The play has sold out to crowds across the country but now it
:21:44. > :21:47.is hitting the West End and there is real excitement. It must be amazing
:21:48. > :21:51.to be playing in the West End. I was here ten years playing a tiny little
:21:52. > :22:03.part with a dodgy French accent. It is quite nice to be back here
:22:04. > :22:09.playing the lead in my hometown. He started his acting career on the
:22:10. > :22:13.stage but is known to millions as one of the stars of casualty. To get
:22:14. > :22:19.to work with the camera every day for 12 hours a day for four years,
:22:20. > :22:23.six days a week was incredible. And genuinely, it was some of the
:22:24. > :22:28.happiest years of my life. I still think of the casualty lot as my
:22:29. > :22:33.family. But he is thrilled to be back home and playing to a London
:22:34. > :22:36.audience. We have got a lot of people walking past the theatre
:22:37. > :22:41.every day, text in me, saying they have seen me on the side of the
:22:42. > :22:44.windows. I think Mum has popped seven times to come and see the
:22:45. > :22:51.show. It is a proud moment for me and all my family.
:22:52. > :22:56.Ben will be playing in the Wyndham Theatre until March.
:22:57. > :22:59.Now, you might want to take a good look - because as of...
:23:00. > :23:02.Around an hour ago visitors to the Natural History Museum
:23:03. > :23:04.will no longer get to see Dippy the Dinosaur.
:23:05. > :23:07.It's been it's home for over a century, but now the process
:23:08. > :23:10.of dismantling and cleaning it begins, ahead of its two-year UK
:23:11. > :23:25.There is a good chance at some point in your life you've stood right here
:23:26. > :23:29.and locked up at this very special Londoner, Dippy the Diplodocus. Yes,
:23:30. > :23:33.that is exactly how you say it and assuming you have, you are one of 90
:23:34. > :23:37.million people who have done exactly the same thing. I think it's
:23:38. > :23:41.amazing. It's massive and it's really cool to see it. Cool to see
:23:42. > :23:49.it again because you don't get many opportunities to see something of
:23:50. > :23:56.this size ever in your life really. Maybe I can see other dinosaurs.
:23:57. > :24:01.Dippy first came to London in 94 -- 1905. He or she was cast from a
:24:02. > :24:05.specimen in America after King Edward VII said he would like to see
:24:06. > :24:09.a replica at the Natural History Museum in London. The dinosaur
:24:10. > :24:15.complete with royal approval appeared. And has stayed ever since.
:24:16. > :24:19.Until now. Over the next month, we will be taking each bone down, each
:24:20. > :24:28.of those 292 bones will be cleaning them and expecting -- inspecting
:24:29. > :24:31.them. This is what will replace Dippy, the real skeleton of a blue
:24:32. > :24:36.whale diving from the ceiling. It could properly do with a nickname.
:24:37. > :24:38.But that will not trouble Dippy. He will enjoy a well earned break from
:24:39. > :24:56.over 100 years of attention. Bone chillingly cold. From dinosaur
:24:57. > :25:01.bones to bone chilling weather. It has been a chilly all day today. We
:25:02. > :25:05.have had a little sunshine that came through later on today but as you
:25:06. > :25:09.can see from this picture, the clouds broke up. We saw some spells
:25:10. > :25:13.of sunshine. Earlier on, the thickest of the clouds did bring a
:25:14. > :25:17.few splashes of rain. You can see the breaks in the cloud now moving
:25:18. > :25:22.southwards into the London area and tonight under clear skies, blue
:25:23. > :25:26.shading spreading across the map. That shows where we are expecting
:25:27. > :25:34.quite a hard frost. Temperatures even in the centre of London minus
:25:35. > :25:39.one. Maybe -6 or seven in other areas. After that frosty start
:25:40. > :25:43.tomorrow, we will have blue skies and sunshine all the way. There
:25:44. > :25:46.might be someone screen scraping to be done first. But then as we go
:25:47. > :25:51.through the day, I have not forgotten to put the cloud on the
:25:52. > :25:54.graphics. It is just going to be largely dry and sunny. But it is not
:25:55. > :26:02.going to help the temperatures very much. Now, tomorrow night, Thursday
:26:03. > :26:06.night, into the early hours of Friday, it gets cold again but this
:26:07. > :26:13.time, we will see a bit more in the way of fog developing. Bear that in
:26:14. > :26:19.mind if you are travelling early on Friday. It will be freezing frog as
:26:20. > :26:25.well. We start the day on Friday with high pressure. Here comes a
:26:26. > :26:30.change out to the west. Frontal systems starting to push in and that
:26:31. > :26:33.will bring rain later on Friday. After a dry start, maybe some early
:26:34. > :26:37.bright weather and then we will see rain spilling into the picture.
:26:38. > :26:40.Temperatures just beginning to creep up and that is the trend into the
:26:41. > :26:45.weekend. It is going to turn considerably milder. Back up into
:26:46. > :26:49.double figures but more cloud than some rain at times. We will lose the
:26:50. > :26:51.chill but we will also lose the sunshine.
:26:52. > :26:54.Sir Ivan Rogers, who's quit as Britain's top EU diplomat,
:26:55. > :26:56.has accused the government of muddled thinking
:26:57. > :27:01.The resignation has set off a heated row over the role of the civil
:27:02. > :27:08.A vigil is to take place in memory of Yasser Yacub,
:27:09. > :27:11.the man shot dead by a police marksman in Huddersfield on Monday.
:27:12. > :27:14.There was a protest in the city last night and local MP Naz Shah
:27:15. > :27:20.The high street retailer Next has warned of tougher trading
:27:21. > :27:30.It blamed uncertainty over Brexit and a squeeze on consumer spending.
:27:31. > :27:32.Right, that's all we've got time for.
:27:33. > :27:34.Asad Ahmad will be back tonight with our late news.
:27:35. > :27:37.So from all of us on the team here, thanks for watching
:27:38. > :27:56.as he explores Naples, Venice and Florence.
:27:57. > :27:58.It's like we're walking through a giant's armpit.
:27:59. > :28:05.We can follow the escape route of Michelangelo.
:28:06. > :28:18.Mildred is our first student from a non-witching family.
