:00:00. > :00:09.Tonight on BBC London News: so it's goodbye from me,
:00:10. > :00:10.The looming crisis facing the capital's schools -
:00:11. > :00:13.as 70% face cuts under a new funding formula.
:00:14. > :00:14.Head teachers fear more jobs will go.
:00:15. > :00:17.And that means that we're looking at further reductions in staffing.
:00:18. > :00:19.I have already cut four staff post through natural
:00:20. > :00:25.Unfortunately, I may have to do a lot more of that sort of work.
:00:26. > :00:28.From the Far East to the East End -
:00:29. > :00:37.the first China-to-Britain freight train arrives in Barking.
:00:38. > :00:43.We look at what it means for London businesses.
:00:44. > :00:46.I'll explain how one London council is using drones to help repair
:00:47. > :00:54.It says it should save tens of thousands of pounds a year.
:00:55. > :00:56.And why neighbouring councils are going to court in a row
:00:57. > :01:10.about this festival on Clapham Common.
:01:11. > :01:15.Welcome to the programme with me, Riz Lateef.
:01:16. > :01:18.are we heading for a crisis in the capital's schools?
:01:19. > :01:21.The Government's proposing a change to the way in which the amount
:01:22. > :01:25.The new funding formula would mean 70% of schools
:01:26. > :01:30.But the Government insists that inner-city schools here will be
:01:31. > :01:34.allocated more money per pupil than the national average.
:01:35. > :01:45.With more details, here's our political editor Tim Donovan.
:01:46. > :01:50.In the heart of Hackney, this secondary school has been benefiting
:01:51. > :01:55.from funds which recognise extra needs and low incomes in the area.
:01:56. > :01:59.head teachers here, if the head teachers here, if the
:02:00. > :02:04.Government to reallocate resources under a new formula. He faces a
:02:05. > :02:10.choice, cut staff could go for a bigger class sizes? Inner London has
:02:11. > :02:14.led the world in recent times for student outcomes in terms of busting
:02:15. > :02:17.that issue around deprivation. We have done that because we have been
:02:18. > :02:22.given more money than other schools. Those outcomes will be compromised.
:02:23. > :02:24.You do not remedy issues around poverty and deprivation
:02:25. > :02:28.spending money. That will be money spending money. That will be money
:02:29. > :02:32.that in the future we will not have to spend. Had the Government now
:02:33. > :02:37.wanted to work? Broccoli, by spreading the money more evenly
:02:38. > :02:46.across the country. London councils which represents the school says 20
:02:47. > :02:51.million less or be available in funding. That is taken from the
:02:52. > :02:54.recent audit about funding not keeping up with inflation and it
:02:55. > :03:01.will add up to a shortfall of ?360 million in two years' time. 19 out
:03:02. > :03:04.of 32 boroughs impacted, 70% of London schools will have to find
:03:05. > :03:08.savings as a consequence of these savings. That is why we are calling
:03:09. > :03:12.on the Government to change, level up and make sure that no school
:03:13. > :03:17.loses as a result of the national funding reforms. The launch of a new
:03:18. > :03:22.parents campaign group in Muswell Hill. Is that they were not just
:03:23. > :03:27.from the area, where it has picked quickly to other parts of London,
:03:28. > :03:31.too. It shows, claims one of the organisers, the rapidly growing
:03:32. > :03:34.concern. We are seeing the effect in the classroom. That is really
:03:35. > :03:38.upsetting parents. The Government is upsetting parents. The Government is
:03:39. > :03:41.saying education spending is protected and we as parents are
:03:42. > :03:44.seeing the effect of the funding squeeze in the schools that we are
:03:45. > :03:49.using. There is disparity there. Doesn't hang you against your
:03:50. > :03:54.skills, because you don't feel they are making a decision you don't want
:03:55. > :03:59.to see the cuts? This campaign is not about criticising any individual
:04:00. > :04:03.schools. We are supported of the headteachers Anneka Nitties having
:04:04. > :04:08.to make very difficult decisions in a difficult situation. The
:04:09. > :04:13.Government insists the existing way of funding schools doesn't work very
:04:14. > :04:16.fairly. From now on it will be according to actual needs, not
:04:17. > :04:20.postcode. That is why it will remain the highest fund is part of the
:04:21. > :04:25.country under our proposals, with inner London schools being allocated
:04:26. > :04:27.30% more funding per pupil than the national average. Many parents,
:04:28. > :04:30.teachers and pupils in London may teachers and pupils in London may
:04:31. > :04:33.Well, our education correspondent Tim Donovan joins me now.
:04:34. > :04:36.Well, we heard in your report that for many years now London has had
:04:37. > :04:38.the best performing schools in the country.
:04:39. > :04:40.Might the change in the amount of money given to schools
:04:41. > :04:51.It is a key thing. After years of underperformance, the last decade
:04:52. > :04:55.and a half under what is called London challenge, the performance of
:04:56. > :04:59.schools with the improved. Places like Hackney, Suffolk, really
:05:00. > :05:03.restored confidence in many schools in inner-city areas. What you're
:05:04. > :05:06.seeing here today, over the last couple of weeks, just beginning to
:05:07. > :05:11.creep through a sense of concern about that of this funding formula.
:05:12. > :05:16.We are told by the politicians and parents that we have fun in that
:05:17. > :05:19.piece have been told and understands that the education budget has been
:05:20. > :05:24.protected and in fact be Government will say in response that it is
:05:25. > :05:27.protecting it and this year, there will be the greatest amount of money
:05:28. > :05:32.going into education has ever been in a budget of ?40 billion and they
:05:33. > :05:37.are saying this is a much fairer way, feel really reflecting real
:05:38. > :05:41.needs. Not just in London, up and down the country. Once people see
:05:42. > :05:47.the details of this formula, they will see that for more pupils, it is
:05:48. > :05:49.a fairer way of doing it. Thank you, Tim.
:05:50. > :05:53.Why people living on this road next to the M4
:05:54. > :05:57.are having sleepless nights about Heathrow expansion.
:05:58. > :06:02.I'll speaking to BAFTA nominated Andrew Garfield about his new film
:06:03. > :06:19.Hacksaw Ridge, about him growing up in Surrey and living in London.
:06:20. > :06:21.Next - from east China to east London.
:06:22. > :06:24.This is the first freight train to travel directly to the UK
:06:25. > :06:26.from China and arrived in Barking this morning.
:06:27. > :06:29.It's taken a fortnight, but that's around half
:06:30. > :06:32.As Sarah Harris reports, it could be a huge boost
:06:33. > :06:40.It had made its way through Kazakhstan, Russia and Belarus.
:06:41. > :06:45.34 conainers packed with high street goods made in a city in eastern
:06:46. > :06:50.China, heading for Barking, east London.
:06:51. > :06:53.The first direct freight train service between China
:06:54. > :06:56.and the UK and something London business leaders have been fighting
:06:57. > :07:16.It brings goods in a much faster route and across the sea.
:07:17. > :07:19.Its slower still than air freight, but it's much cheaper than the air
:07:20. > :07:21.freight costs and it's a sign that China is
:07:22. > :07:22.expanding its networks, trading networks,
:07:23. > :07:24.beyond its borders in an
:07:25. > :07:26.effective way to connect China's market with the global economy.
:07:27. > :07:28.And it's the return journey back to China
:07:29. > :07:32.which will benefit exporters from London.
:07:33. > :07:36.The service is cheaper than air freight and faster than sending
:07:37. > :07:42.There's a big demand in China at the moment, particularly for
:07:43. > :07:44.products like baby foods or mother and baby cosmetics.
:07:45. > :07:46.Or actually anything with a Royal warrant on.
:07:47. > :07:53.But the cost of exporting it by air can make the prices of these
:07:54. > :08:01.Here in Finchley, boxes are being packed to
:08:02. > :08:08.ready to make the return trip by train.
:08:09. > :08:11.It's a market many insiders as say is relatively untouched.
:08:12. > :08:13.Leaving the single market makes it even while
:08:14. > :08:22.If you go out to China, you see the cities are flooded with
:08:23. > :08:25.things like Spanish wines and French cheeses, but yet there is a real
:08:26. > :08:29.lack of British products, despite the demand in China.
:08:30. > :08:31.This train route I think is just one step forward
:08:32. > :08:34.between British China relationships and certainly in terms of trade.
:08:35. > :08:36.With Brexit coming up, companies like us are actually quite excited
:08:37. > :08:39.about the possibilities of more trade agreements between the UK and
:08:40. > :08:43.The silk Road trading routes to the west were created more than
:08:44. > :08:46.2,000 years ago, but it is hoped the renewal will lead to an increase
:08:47. > :08:48.in trade between east London and east China for
:08:49. > :09:01.The Mayor of London will tell the World Economic Forum
:09:02. > :09:03.in Davos tonight that a hard Brexit, as outlined
:09:04. > :09:06.by the Prime Minister yesterday, would be a lose-lose situation.
:09:07. > :09:08.In a speech to business and political leaders,
:09:09. > :09:09.Sadiq Khan will say privileged access
:09:10. > :09:11.to the single market is critical for London.
:09:12. > :09:13.Well, the BBC's economics editor Kamal Ahmed is there
:09:14. > :09:29.Yes. Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, it is his first visit to
:09:30. > :09:34.Davos and he is making a speech tonight all the business leaders
:09:35. > :09:38.here. Many of them big, global banks operating out of London. The
:09:39. > :09:43.leaders, chief executives are here in Davos in the Swiss Alps. A big
:09:44. > :09:47.message about hard Brexit and what the Government likes to call clean
:09:48. > :09:52.Brexit. Sadiq Khan says it would be bad for the City of London. But the
:09:53. > :10:00.City of London will still need privileged access into the EU and
:10:01. > :10:02.also the second point, maybe more slightly controversial, he says
:10:03. > :10:07.globalisation needs to be dealt with by the European Union and if many
:10:08. > :10:11.member states had a vote on being in the European Union, they would have
:10:12. > :10:17.the same outcome as Britain, they might vote to leave a massive issue
:10:18. > :10:20.of globalisation is tackled. How do you think his speech will be
:10:21. > :10:23.received the same day that two banks have confirmed they will transfer
:10:24. > :10:33.jobs from London to Europe as a result of Theresa May's Brexit
:10:34. > :10:38.plans? HSBC, the big British Chinese bank and UPS the Swiss bank have
:10:39. > :10:44.both said they are going to move some jobs, relatively limited, onto
:10:45. > :10:47.because of the changes in because of the changes in
:10:48. > :10:51.regulations between London and the European Union and the relationship
:10:52. > :10:56.with the single market. That bit of the speech about privileged access,
:10:57. > :10:59.that will go down well, but I think his second point about people being
:11:00. > :11:07.negative about the European Union, other referendums could force other
:11:08. > :11:10.countries to leave the European countries to leave the European
:11:11. > :11:13.Union. Many people think that Britain is a unique case and other
:11:14. > :11:17.countries would never think about you leaving the European Union.
:11:18. > :11:19.Disputes between neighbours are all too common in London,
:11:20. > :11:22.but it's quite unusual for two councils to have a row about noise.
:11:23. > :11:24.Wandsworth is taking Lambeth to court over plans for festivals
:11:25. > :11:26.on Clapham Common, which cuts through both boroughs.
:11:27. > :11:37.A snippet from the South-west 4 festival over the August bank
:11:38. > :11:44.It's a three-day event and this this year it is expected to
:11:45. > :11:46.attract 30,000 people to Clapham Common.
:11:47. > :11:48.Music festivals have been helf for many years here,
:11:49. > :11:51.but for the first time last summer, the noise level allowed was
:11:52. > :11:55.The complaints about the event also increased.
:11:56. > :12:06.CHEERING And here's the problem, Clapham Common
:12:07. > :12:10.sits between Wandsworth and Lambeth Councils.
:12:11. > :12:18.Which has given permission to the outdoor concerts.
:12:19. > :12:22.Anticipating the summer ahead, Wandsworth want the noise
:12:23. > :12:25.levels returned to what they were in 2015.
:12:26. > :12:28.In their fight to do so, they are taking their
:12:29. > :12:32.We are absolutely not against the event, people having
:12:33. > :12:36.That's been happening for years and we are perfectly happy
:12:37. > :12:42.What we are very unhappy about and our residents are unhappy
:12:43. > :12:45.about is the huge increase in the noise and particularly the thumping
:12:46. > :12:48.Some of the complaints were coming from a mile away.
:12:49. > :12:50.People who are not just immediately around the
:12:51. > :12:52.common, but several streets back who were having
:12:53. > :12:55.If you're sat in your garden, you can
:12:56. > :12:58.definitely hear the noise, but I don't think it's too bad, to be
:12:59. > :13:02.It denies a significant chunk of the Common to other users.
:13:03. > :13:05.Of course, there will be a lot of people attending the concert and no
:13:06. > :13:07.doubt enjoying themselves, but they won't be locals.
:13:08. > :13:14.I think if I was an adult with a kid, it might bother me.
:13:15. > :13:16.For its part, Lambeth Council gave us a statement
:13:17. > :13:19.saying, legally we are unable to comment
:13:20. > :13:20.on the specific issue, but
:13:21. > :13:23.all events go through a rigorous process involving police, health and
:13:24. > :13:35.other partners, including neighbouring boroughs.

:13:41. > :13:42.in a Government report looking at the impact
:13:43. > :13:45.Despite living several miles from the airport in Heston,
:13:46. > :13:48.they fear their homes could be demolished if the M4 is widened
:13:49. > :13:50.to cater for more people travelling to an expanded Heathrow.
:13:51. > :13:52.But the airport maintains widening the motorway isn't necessary.
:13:53. > :14:07.If planes are to take off and land on a new runway,
:14:08. > :14:09.then residents of nearby Harmondsworth know that their homes
:14:10. > :14:13.But what about the street several miles from the airport?
:14:14. > :14:18.Rob Barnstone, who campaigns against Heathrow expansion thinks so.
:14:19. > :14:22.I've certainly read all the small print in each of the documents.
:14:23. > :14:26.He says he has spent months reading background reports
:14:27. > :14:29.published by the Government on the possible impact of the airport
:14:30. > :14:30.commission's recommendation for a Heathrow expansion.
:14:31. > :14:36."Substantial land acquisition of residential and
:14:37. > :14:42.commercial properties in the vicinity of Winchester Avenue."
:14:43. > :14:44.Winchester Avenue is right next to the M4,
:14:45. > :14:48.which this one page in the
:14:49. > :14:50.report suggests could be widened to feed more traffic to a

:14:55. > :14:58.The Department for Transport or the Government or
:14:59. > :15:00.Heathrow Airport have not told people about this.
:15:01. > :15:03.BBC London spoke to many residents here and it seems

:16:34. > :16:37.Heathrow Airport is not calling for the M4 to be widened.
:16:38. > :16:40.But until the final plans are known, there may be little peace
:16:41. > :16:44.And I gather there have been some further developments on the story
:16:45. > :16:48.tonight? Yes, the Department for Transport seems to have changed its
:16:49. > :16:52.tune on this. Back on Friday when we first started looking at the story,
:16:53. > :16:56.it said it did not give a statement, but the full plans relating to
:16:57. > :17:02.runway three expansion would be published shortly. Suddenly, at 4pm
:17:03. > :17:06.this afternoon after our report went out, calls started coming in and we
:17:07. > :17:17.were accused of scaremongering for talking to the residents and now the
:17:18. > :17:20.Department is categorically stating there are no plans at all to widen
:17:21. > :17:22.the M4. This Government report names Winchester Avenue but to little
:17:23. > :17:27.purpose. It will me a discussion of an option. It will not happen. The
:17:28. > :17:28.homes will not be demolished. Campaigners against Heathrow
:17:29. > :17:31.expansion are saying it is still the expansion are saying it is still the
:17:32. > :17:35.case that the Government did not engage properly with residents in
:17:36. > :17:39.the street and the local MP is saying the Government has been
:17:40. > :17:43.completely unclear on this. I welcome the statement that there are
:17:44. > :17:46.no plans to wait in the M4 onto the street and I want confirmation that
:17:47. > :17:50.They can capture amazing footage from a bird's-eye view,
:17:51. > :17:53.but there have also been concerns over the potential dangers of flying
:17:54. > :17:57.Well, now drones are being used in one part of London to survey

:18:30. > :18:32.levels in a much safer way. We keep people on the ground and we
:18:33. > :18:36.controlled the drawn up there. Look make it seem somehow fitting that
:18:37. > :18:43.today's inspection is on Batman close. The council says the dirty
:18:44. > :18:46.drone, inspections can be costly and complex. We would have to do it

:18:51. > :18:54.come back down again and then go back up again when we do get to do
:18:55. > :19:00.the repair, which could be several months later. It's not just routine
:19:01. > :19:04.repairs. After this devastating tower block blaze in Shepherd's Bush
:19:05. > :19:14.last year, a drone was used to get a closer look at the damage. This is
:19:15. > :19:16.in the first army council has used drones. In the past, there been

:19:20. > :19:23.campaigners say it is vital that the council explain what they are doing
:19:24. > :19:26.and why. Hammersmith and Fulham Council say it has this and all the
:19:27. > :19:34.residents here and has had to stick to strict rules seeking permission
:19:35. > :19:38.from the aviation authority. The use experienced pilots and must be in
:19:39. > :19:43.control of the area. A team on the ground keep an eye out for
:19:44. > :19:47.passers-by. Modern technology, things moving forward. It might be a
:19:48. > :19:52.good thing. It stops all the scaffolding. It saves money, because
:19:53. > :19:57.we say it cost money to put it up and when it is up, you don't know
:19:58. > :20:02.how long it will be there. There were a few break-ins. I think it
:20:03. > :20:07.would be safer. Council hopes to save around ?150,000 next year, so
:20:08. > :20:16.this new technology could become a much more familiar sight.
